Late ripening

As soon as the school bell rang in the afternoon, the hallway was immediately filled with the voices of students rushing out of the classroom.City S in May began to drop kapok cotton wool. Jing Yan held his nose and looked out the window. There were a lot of people going to eat together, and he was a little tired.After thinking about it, he turned his head and shouted, "Yao Yihang, are you still going to the second canteen for dinner today?"

A boy in the back seat waved his hand, "I won't go today, I will go out with Lao Qi and the others." Jing Yan was stunned for a moment, "Where are you going..." The boy named Yao Yihang hesitated for a moment, and the dean just passed by the door .He lowered his head and said while packing his schoolbag, "Come back and tell you."

The girl next to them laughed while listening to their conversation, "I don't know if you just played with your classmates recently, they go to the Internet cafe outside the school to play games every Thursday." Yao Yihang walked over helplessly, "Sister, can you You can't keep your voice down, the teacher is outside." After speaking, he looked at Jing Yan again, "Lin Jingyan, are you going with us? It's not far, it's at the gate of the Zhuyuan community"

"I won't go...I don't know how to play any games..." Jing Yan was a little embarrassed, Yao Yihang shrugged, "Then I'm leaving. If anyone asks me, just say I went back to the dormitory." He nodded , Turn around and plan to start writing today's homework.

He has recently started trying to communicate more with his classmates.The people in this class are very good, although he can't play basketball or games, most of the time he just sits by the side and eats while listening to their chats.But no one asked him why he was so taciturn before, and no one laughed at his soft-spoken speech like he did in junior high school.

"Jing Yan," he was struggling with his math homework when he heard someone calling him in front of him.Liang Shiyu ran over grinning, "Let's go eat." She signed up for math cram school with Jing Yan, and the two people who were not very good in math always sat together and racked their brains to write questions.Jing Yan thinks she is very cute, she is not as gentle and gentle as her name, but a girl who loves to laugh and play, and is full of kindness towards everything.

He smiled at her, "Where are we going to eat?" Liang Shiyu sat down on the seat in front of him and began to rummage through his schoolbag, "Let's go out to eat too. I want to eat ramen." He turned out a note, " I asked the chairman of the association to issue a proof of leaving, hehe." Jing Yan blinked, "Then wait for me for a while, I will leave after I finish writing this."

When the two walked out of the school gate, Jing Yan was still a little nervous and couldn't help but look back, and he didn't heave a sigh of relief until he turned a corner.Liang Shiyu looked at him curiously, "Why haven't you been home for dinner recently?" Jing Yan lowered his head and kicked the stones on the side of the road, "My family is not at home recently, so I don't want to go back." "Oh," Liang Shiyu expressed understanding , "I don't like to eat alone either. But when I get home, my mother keeps asking about this and that. It's so annoying. It's better to eat with my classmates at school."

She babbled about her troubles, Jing Yan was distracted while listening.The little uncle hasn't been home for a meal for a long time. One day when he came home, he found that more than half of the bookcases in his room had been emptied.Sister-in-law Yu said that the little uncle took it away on purpose so that he could put his Lego away properly.He tidied up excitedly for a long time, and wanted to talk to Lu Qian when he came back, but he didn't hear the door open until he fell asleep.

He was a little envious of Liang Shiyu. After Lu Qian came back from a business trip, he hadn't been asked any questions for a long time.

There was no one in the newly opened ramen shop, so the two of them found a seat by the window and sat down.After looking at the menu for a long time, Jing Yan struggled to order a piece of fried chicken and Coke that he wanted to eat, which Lu Qian didn't usually let him eat, "Why didn't you bring that watch that day? I think your watch is really It looks good, but it must be expensive. I haven’t seen anyone wearing that style in school.”

Jing Yan withdrew his hand and touched his empty wrist, "My family gave it to me... I checked and found it was a bit expensive, and didn't everyone say recently that people from No. [-] Middle School would come to fight and steal things... I’m afraid I’ll lose it.” Liang Shiyu nodded, “That’s right, I don’t dare to take small paths when I go home recently. Do you remember that day when we went shopping in Vientiane City? When I came home from there, I saw Two people in No. [-] Middle School uniforms blocked people by the side of the road, which scared me to death."

The ramen was served soon, Liang Shiyu took a mouthful very satisfied, felt hot and took a sip of ice water, "By the way, did you give away the bottle of perfume you bought that day? You haven't told me who you gave it to. What about it? Is it for the girl you like? No girl likes mint-flavored perfume..."

Jing Yan couldn't get up or down with his face in his mouth, he was startled by Liang Shiyu's words, he swallowed it in a hurry, he choked and coughed all the time.On the opposite side, Liang Shiyu was still thinking to herself, "Jing Yan, you are too gentle, you must not dare to take the initiative to give it away. I tell you to be strong at this time, otherwise the other party will not feel your heart ..."

Jing Yan took a big gulp of Coke and suppressed it, biting his tongue and couldn't speak clearly, "No...not for girls..." He coughed so hard that he felt hot all over, and wanted to explain clearly that the language system suddenly failed at this moment .No one has asked him about his family, and he doesn't know how to tell his classmates. "It's for my family..." He said dully, the temperature on his face never receding.

"Oh," the girl handed him a tissue, "I thought you were going to confess to some classmate. But you have such a good relationship with your family." Jing Yan didn't speak, just picked up the chicken nuggets and bit them , there is a feeling of disappointment that the surprise that has been prepared for a long time was punctured in advance, but there is an additional layer of inexplicable, the joy of sharing secret thoughts with others.

After dinner, the two rushed back to study by themselves in the evening. Unexpectedly, the English teacher changed the self-study to watch English movies today.As soon as the curtains on both sides were drawn, the dark classroom at seven o'clock made the students more happy to whisper.The girls were busy looking for each other to change seats and chat, and the boys piled up in the back of the classroom playing with their mobile phones.

Sitting behind Jing Yan, Yao Yihang complained while secretly brewing noodles at the desk, "Damn, if I knew I would watch a movie, I would play for a while and come back." Liang Shiyu pinched his nose beside him, "Can you eat earlier next time? Ah, the smell is too strong."

Jing Yan was a little excited waiting for the class representative to show the movie. He likes watching movies very much, but he rarely has the opportunity to go out to watch them with Lu Qian.A movie called "The Unfortunate Adventures of Lemony Snicket" appeared on the screen. Jing Yan was a little disappointed. He just watched it with his uncle at home during the Spring Festival.

He slumped down on the table, a little uninterested.Liang Shiyu asked him while looking for glasses, "What's the name of this movie, I can't see it clearly." ""The Unfortunate Adventures of Lemony Snicket", it tells the story of a group of children."

She seemed to be very interested in this content, and put on her glasses to watch with relish.The girl next to her watched it for a while, and couldn't help whispering to her, "Why doesn't our teacher show love movies? The whole class of Class Seven went to the movie theater to watch Titanic last time."

Yao Yihang, who was behind him, had just finished eating the instant noodles, and laughed when he heard them talking, "The literature and art committee member has recently become more active, and wants to watch romance movies." It’s like a movie.” He stretched and threw the tissue into the trash can at the door. "I'm not talking nonsense. Did you go out with the boy who played basketball in the next class last Friday? I saw it at the gate of the community."

The girl turned around angrily and was about to hit him, but Liang Shiyu looked back at her in surprise, "Yueyue, are you really in a relationship? You didn't even tell me!" Shu Yue hurriedly told her to keep her voice down, "We haven't been together for long. . " Turning his head angrily, he wanted to warn the culprit who leaked the news.Yao Yihang quickly said, "I didn't tell anyone else, and I definitely didn't tell the teacher. I just know you guys better and want to ask if you're real."

Now even Jing Yan was aroused curiosity, Shu Yue has always been the literary and art committee member of the class, the two of them have published several blackboard newspapers together, in the impression that this girl is gentle and obedient, and the teacher likes it very much.Even she is in a relationship, Jing Yan is very surprised.

Liang Shiyu shook her arm to tell her to explain the whole process quickly, Shu Yue said a few words shyly, Liang Shiyu opened her mouth slightly, "You two have only known each other for a month... I thought you had known each other for a long time. Then Wouldn't it be a little too fast for you to be together..."

Yao Yihang didn't want to get involved in this kind of topic at first, but he couldn't help interjecting when he heard them chattering, "You haven't even talked about love before, and some feelings can be confirmed as soon as you meet." Liang Shiyu rolled his eyes and ignored him, and then asked , "Then how do you know you two like each other..."

Shu Yue tilted her head and thought for a while, then said thoughtfully, "It's just... an instinct. You will be happy when you see him, and you will think of him when you don't see him. You always bear him when he is in front of you." I can't stop focusing on him, and I can't control it." After finishing speaking, I couldn't help but bury my head, "You will know when you like someone."

Liang Shiyu was teasing her, and Yao Yihang started bickering with her again.Jing Yan stared at the screen in a daze, thinking about what Shu Yue said just now.He wants to ask one more question, must it be what you said.I am also very attached to my little uncle, but not that kind of liking.

It can't be that kind of liking, he added in his heart.

What is it like to like someone, Jing Yan doesn't know.His parents never told him about puppy love, let alone early, he still doesn't even understand the word "love".He feels a little selfish. The word love probably means a lot of giving and giving, but he is always eager for the attention and company of others, and he probably doesn't have the ability to talk about liking and love.

The two girls were still laughing and chatting, Yao Yihang suddenly remembered something and said, "No wonder he always stared at me when I played with him a few days ago, did he get angry when he saw me talking to you girls?" Huh?" Liang Shiyu threw a ball of paper at him, "Don't you know? Jealousy is the most intuitive expression of caring about the person you like." Jing Yan had no interest in listening, and turned his head to concentrate on watching the movie.
