atypical romanticism

On January 1, two days before New Year's Eve, Zhou Yu and Zhou Zhou were sent by Yu Hong to the supermarket to buy New Year's goods. He gave her an "OK" gesture behind his back.

Zhou Yu, who knew nothing about this, changed his shoes and urged: "Dad, hurry up, there are already many Japanese members today."

"Okay, okay, I'll take a mask, do you have one?"

Zhou Yu subconsciously wanted to refuse, she had rhinitis, and it was too uncomfortable to be unable to breathe while wearing a mask.But thinking of what Yu Hong said at that time, he still swallowed "no need".

When they returned home after shopping, Yu Hong was sitting on the sofa talking and laughing with her junior high school teacher, and the person sitting on the other side of the sofa was Lin Yi.

—Co-author, wait for me here.

She looked at Zhou Zhou and asked silently, "Dad, you sold me."

Zhou Zhou knew he was wrong, took the shopping bag from her hand with a smile, and went into the kitchen without looking back.

Yu Hong hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm back, isn't this your Aunt Liu, who doesn't call anyone when she sees her."

Zhou Yu took a deep breath—hold back.

"Hello, auntie," Zhou Yu put on a social smile, "Talk slowly with my mom, and I'll go to the kitchen to help my dad."

"What are you going to do, don't make trouble now," Yu Hong smiled, his eyes full of calmness, and introduced to Zhou Yu, "This is Lin Yi, remember? I remember that you two were classmates in the second year of junior high school and the first year of senior high school coming."

The smile on Zhou Yu's face was faked again: "You have such a good memory, I can't even remember clearly."

Her words slapped two people in the face, and the smiles on the faces of the two mothers froze for a moment—for a blind date, how the parties see each other is one thing, and how the parents of the matchmakers say their children are another thing.

Lin Yi looked at her, sighed secretly, got up and set up a step down for the two old teachers: "Zhou Yu, long time no see."

He looked at Zhou Yu and said, "It's much prettier."

Zhou Yu looked at him coldly, and slandered: You are quite bald.

In such a comparison, Xiang Sheng is really a cutie in the world.

No, it's very cute.

She didn't want to see Lin Yigui, but she didn't want to let the two elders get off the stage, so she replied, "Long time no see."

"Talk?" Lin Yi tentatively asked.

Zhou Yu frowned slightly: Why is this person pushing his nose on his face?

Before she could refuse, Yu Hong, who was still on pins and needles just now, revived with blood and urged, "Let's talk, you two haven't seen each other these years, the study is over there, Zhou Yu, take Yu Hong over there .”

Zhou Yu suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to Lin Yi in a voice that seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth: "Let's talk."

study.

Zhou Yu sat on the sofa and looked at his mobile phone. He sent a WeChat message to Xiang Sheng at 8 o'clock in the morning. It was already eleven o'clock, and she hadn't replied yet.

—Did you stay up late last night?

It shouldn't be, Xiang Sheng has a very regular schedule, and falls asleep on time from [-]:[-] every time.

Thinking of this, her right eyelid twitched uncontrollably a few times, and her inner anxiety became more intense-she had been home for nine days, and they basically video every night, but last night it was a voice call.

She didn't know if it was a psychological factor, but she always felt that although Xiang Sheng was still poor in the past two days, he seemed extremely tired.

"Zhou Yu."

Lin Yi's voice pulled back her wandering thoughts, she turned off the phone, looked up at Lin Yi, and suddenly felt ridiculous—she actually wanted to go on a blind date with him.

They are actually compatible in the eyes of outsiders.

"Zhou Yu, I know you feel embarrassed, and I am embarrassed too," Lin Yi sighed helplessly, "After all, we were not very happy at the time."

"It's really unpleasant," Zhou Yu squinted at him. The soundproofing of the study was very good, and there were only the two of them in the room. Zhou Yu didn't bother to continue pretending, "I really wanted to tear you apart for a while."

Lin Yi paused his hand, opened and closed his mouth a few times, Zhou Yu looked at him coldly, and suddenly understood the reason why he did what he did back then - after so many years, this person even needs to rely on others to guess his apology, and then rely on What requires him to have the courage to overthrow everything at the most wanton age?

— She didn't have that kind of courage either.

"But that was back then," Zhou Yu didn't have the heart to talk to him back then, and now she just wants to invite this plague god away, "Your mother and my mother can talk about their in-laws with a smile now, which means you didn't tell them about my liking for women , I want to thank you for that."

"Do not......"

Zhou Yu didn't give Lin Yi and her a chance to be polite, and continued: "I liked women at the time, and now I like women too, so even if there were no such bad things between us, it would be impossible for us to be together."

"Mr. Liu, you can say that I'm not good enough for you, or you think I'm too good for you. Let's not meet again."

Lin Yi murmured, agreeing.

After settling his mind, Zhou Yu relaxed a lot, sneered, and murmured: "It's ridiculous."

The two were silent for a long time, Lin Yi got up and was about to go out, clenched and loosened his hand on the doorknob, finally, as if he had made up his mind, he turned his back to Zhou Yu and said softly: "Zhou Yu, you may think this is ridiculous, but I I do owe you."

Zhou Yu opened his eyes and squinted at him, clenched his hands unconsciously.Lin Yi heaved a sigh of relief, and said word by word, "I'm sorry, Zhou Yu."

Zhou Yu looked at the half-open door, and the "black dog" who hadn't pestered her for a long time gradually climbed up to her heart.She sat on the sofa blankly, her thoughts stagnant, and countless transparent butterflies fluttered in front of her eyes.

Suddenly, someone touched her arm lightly, and Yu Hong looked at her puzzled, and asked, "What are you doing sitting here? I just told you to come out and send someone off, but you didn't answer."

"You called me just now," Zhou Yu shook his head, stood up with force, and walked around Yu Hong to the door, "I'm a little tired, so I don't want to eat."

She was really just plain tired.But in the mind of a traditional patriarch like Yu Hong who is not good at words, the four words "I won't eat" are not much different from swearing.

Coupled with Zhou Yu's words in the living room that prevented the two ladies from coming to the stage, Yu Hong immediately became furious and shouted: "Stop!"

Zhou Yu's footsteps paused slightly, and every cell in her body was clamoring for fatigue: "Mom, I only have a few dozen days off for Chinese New Year, can you let me go through it without stopping?"

"Come on, I didn't let you stop?!" Yu Hong's voice suddenly increased, and the two chirping birds on the balcony also closed their mouths with interest.

Zhou Yu didn't want to explain, and walked out on his own, but this move stimulated Yu Hong more than Zhou Yu's direct quarrel with her.Furious, Yu Hong picked up the purple clay pot on the desk and threw it towards Zhou Yu.

The purple clay pot hit Zhou Yu's neck impartially, she lost her footing, and hit her head on the protruding edge of the door. In an instant, the flying butterflies in front of her eyes had another layer of golden light.

Yu Hong was also stunned - she actually hit Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu rubbed the center of his brows, didn't speak, and went back to the room.

Zhou Zhouchang, who was sitting on the sofa, sighed, and silently picked up the broom to clean up the broken purple clay pot. He watched Yu Hong's livid face, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

Mother and daughter have no overnight feud.Zhou Zhou comforted himself.

Yu Hong gouged out Zhou Yu's closed door, and the guilt just now was replaced by the resentment that "this girl dares to ignore me".

She snorted coldly, went back to her room, slammed the door viciously, and the word "Fu" fixed on the door by tape slipped to the ground.

Holding his will, Zhou Yu took out the medicine bottle from the suitcase, and swallowed it with the water on the bedside table.The water was warm, but Zhou Yu was shivering from the ice.

She hid under the blanket, her heart ached like being bitten by thousands of insects, her clothes were soaked in cold sweat, large beads of sweat fell down her cheeks into her clothes, her skin seemed to be pressed by sharp gears .

"Xiang Sheng...A Sheng..."

-

When I was a student, there always seemed to be a person in the class who the whole class didn't know how to describe.

Either they are bloated, or they have strange accents, or they exude some indescribable smells that make people frown and cover their noses when they see him.

When he was targeted for one reason or another, most people would keep silent. On the one hand, they didn't want to cause trouble for themselves, and on the other hand, they more or less felt that he deserved it.

——Who made you grow so fat, have you fed hormones/hormones at home?

——Who told you that you can't even speak Mandarin, can you learn it if you can't say it?

——Who told you that you don’t even know how to take a shower? It’s the 21st century. Is it true that some people are so poor that they can’t even afford hot water?

Such a wonderful thing, didn't he deserve it if he was beaten?

Lin Yi, who was in junior high school, was the one who "deserved it".

The junior high school and senior high school of Yuhua No. [-] Middle School have similar systems, and each grade has two key classes.

After each mid-term and final exam, students whose grades fell out of the top 50 in the grade will withdraw and enter the parallel class.

Zhou Yu performed abnormally in the mid-term exam in the second semester of junior high school, and got a good grade of 82 in the exam, and was "exiled" to Lin Yi's class.

When she walked into the classroom with her book in her arms, Lin Yi was surrounded by a group of people in the corner where the mop was placed. Zhou Yu had never seen such a scene, and subconsciously wanted to be an invisible person.

After she put the book away, the girl sitting in front of her leaned back on the chair and looked in Lin Yi's direction.

Zhou Yu observed around, and most of the people looking at Lin Yi were like this girl, with expressions like they were watching a bloody drama that would be staged at [-] o'clock every night, and those who couldn't stand it just frowned, Turn around and continue doing your own thing, no one wants to get involved.

Zhou Yu knew Lin Yi, she was the child of the math teacher in her previous class.

Being bullied like this, doesn't your mother care about it?

Before Zhou Yu could figure it out, the class bell rang—forget it, don't think about it.

Anyway, she won't stay in this class for too long. After the final exam, she will go back to the original class. Besides, Lin Yi's mother is the teacher of the school, so he should be able to solve it by himself... right?

——It can solve a fart!

If he can solve it, will he be cornered and ridiculed face to face?

After school, when Zhou Yu packed his schoolbag and was about to leave, he found Lin Yi sitting motionless in the corner.She hesitated for a while, but she still stepped forward and said to him, "Well, after school, don't you want to go?"

Lin Yi raised his head and looked at her blankly, as if what she said was not a simple sentence, but an incomprehensible long sentence.

Zhou Yu's scalp tingled for a while, and when he looked away and wanted to leave, Lin Yi suddenly grabbed her arm, as if grabbing a life-saving straw.

"Zhou Yu, can you go home with me? I...I really have no choice..."

Zhou Yu subconsciously wanted to refuse, but perhaps because Lin Yi's eyes were too eager, she still nodded.

The two walked side by side in silence, the sky was rendered orange, and the closer to the horizon, the closer the color was to fiery red, the splendor contained an inexplicable tragedy.

"Why didn't you tell your mother?"

Lin Yi paused, and the flesh on his face trembled. After a long time, he smiled wryly and said, "It's useless."

"Their grades are better than mine, and they can speak with their mouths. In a few words, they explained that they were joking with me. They even pretended to be very innocent and aggrieved to 'apologize' to me. Those people in the class Don't dare to offend them."

"No one is on my side. It's no use saying more."

——It doesn't matter what the truth is, people are only willing to believe the "truth" that is beneficial to them.

"In my mother's eyes, I have always been a very worry-free existence. My grades are not very good, and I am also dull. I have conflicts with others since I was a child. She always asks me to reflect on myself first."

"'If you are not very good, why would people come to trouble you? Are you a sweet potato?'" Lin Yi laughed at himself, and said, "It turns out that being targeted by others is also a manifestation of 'sweet potato' .”

Zhou Yu didn't express his opinion, but tightly clenched his hands under the sleeves of his fat school uniform, his knuckles were coldly white—"Mothers all over the world seem to be like this, and so is my mother."

Lin Yi nodded, and when he glanced at a group of people across the road, he lowered his head subconsciously.

He took a few deep breaths, and secretly glanced at those people. Those people looked at Zhou Yu beside him, their eyes became more and more serious-Lin Yi was relieved, he knew that he was safe.

If no one can save him, he saves himself.

"I'm sorry, Zhou Yu."

"It's okay." Zhou Yu smiled, without delving into the meaning behind the sentence "I'm sorry", "I didn't help you with anything."

After that day, Zhou Yu replaced Lin Yi.

The difference is that she is not "worthless", and she is even very beautiful and has good grades.So, the way those people "make friends" with her is very civilized.

——The lingering cynicism, and his intentional or unintentional avoidance.

This is more cruel than punching and kicking.

If they used violence, Zhou Yu would have room to fight back if he was in a hurry; but now, they just said a few unpleasant words.

"Children, it's normal not to be able to speak, don't take it to heart, learn your own habits well, just don't talk to me."

"Why are you so glass-hearted, you can't even take a joke."

"Oh, you're still throwing face. A good student is boring."

"What's the smell on you? Did it get infected by that fat man Lin Yi?"

"Just kidding, why did you react so strongly and feel guilty?"

Zhou Yu has been enduring it, but she is not a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

When she was locked in the bathroom and couldn't get out, her emotions completely collapsed.

She cried and asked, why did she treat her like this, obviously they didn't know each other.

Those people seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world. Harsh laughter filled the empty corridor. They laughed enough and said indifferently: "Since you don't like us playing with Lin Yi, let's play together." Just play with you, hahahahahaha..."

It turns out that there really is a real-life version of The Farmer and the Snake.

--------------------

The author has something to say:

Resolutely resist all forms of school violence.

Suddenly thought of a case that the teacher told us during class:

Child A and Child B are good friends. Child A has a big dog at home. One afternoon, Child A invites Child B to play at home. The big dog is not afraid of people. Seeing Child B, he felt curious and went to smell her. , but child B is afraid of dogs. Seeing a dog coming, he pats the dog on the head with one hand. The big dog also has a temper and barks at child B. Child B is frightened and runs all over the yard. Even the dog couldn't persuade my friend who was so frightened that he almost took off on the spot. In the end, both children were bitten by the dog.

Because child B was the main target of the big dog's attack, his leg was bitten to bleed; child A was also scratched by the big dog's arm because he wanted to stop the big dog

The parents of child A apologized to the parents of child B and took child B to take the full rabies vaccination. As for their own child, it looked like it was just a piece of skin, and the rabies vaccine was really not cheap, so it was simply disinfected. down.

In the end, child B's wounds recovered, and he was not injured or sick. Except for a scar on his leg, he was fine. However, child A suddenly died of rabies.

At that time, I was wondering if child A would be criticized by his parents - "You didn't know there was a dog at home! Why did you bring someone home?"

"Don't you know to stay away from that?" and so on.

The more I think about it, the more I feel uncomfortable, because I find that the elders around me who are parents more or less do not take things that are considered big in the eyes of children, such as being targeted, such as psychological problems.

(Unknowingly said so much, let's stop here.)

Finally, kick back the theme, resolutely resist school violence!Life is hard already, I hope we can all treat others kindly, and be treated kindly~ Bihat!
