The Lighter and Princess Gown – Book 2: Eternal Fire

The wind in autumn is very strong.

The young Zhu Yun followed her mother to the school.

Today is the registration day, but Zhu Yun does not need to go through such complicated procedures, she is very familiar with it. The mother is the director of the high school department of the school. She was not far from the elementary school before. After school, she often came here to wait for her mother to come home from get off work.

Mother led her to the entrance of the teaching building and said, "You are waiting for me here. I will go to say hello to your class teacher first."

Zhu Yun nodded obediently.

My mother went there for a while, Zhu Yun looked around boredly, and suddenly, a figure came into view.

The figure stood by the flower bed in front of the teaching building, a girl with her head down. After a few seconds, the girl seemed to perceive and turned her face.

Zhu Yun quickly put aside.

After a moment of silence, Zhu Yun secretly raised his eyes again, and found that the girl looked down again.

Then she started looking at her again.

Zhu Yun was blown blank by the autumn wind.

While the other students were walking around, only the two of them stood quietly at the entrance of the teaching building. Like spending time, Zhu Yun looked at her repeatedly. After looking at it several times, Zhu Yun's eyes were caught. She was shaking, and when she just wanted to turn her head again, she saw the girl waving at her.

?

Zhu Yun looked around and pointed at himself.

"……I?"

The girl waved again.

It seems to be her.

The girl is taller than Zhu Yun, has a thin body, medium and long hair, fair complexion, fine facial features ...

Zhu Yun came closer and was shocked to find that she had actually put on makeup.

Pale face, dark eyeliner, her mouth gently bite a string of red stamens, slender and bright, that is the only color on her face.

Zhu Yun stopped.

The first time she saw a makeup junior high school student, it runs counter to her previous education.

The girl picked up a bunch of red stamens from the flower bed and handed them to Zhu Yun.

Zhu Yun took it and carefully held it in her hand. The girl raised her chin and whispered—

"Sweet."

That was the first encounter between Zhu Yun and Liu Xiaoyan.

They only had time to exchange their names, and Zhu Yun was called away by her mother. My mother's face was not very good when she came out of the teaching building. She kept mumbling on the road, "How did you divide this teacher, and you have the opportunity to transfer ..."

Zhu Yun was unknown, so when the school started, she saw teacher Wang, a class teacher, a female teacher who taught Chinese. In her 30s, she was slightly fat and very gentle. No matter what the student does wrong, she whispers softly and never criticizes sharply.

Zhu Yun likes her very much.

Zhu Yun saw Liu Xiaoyan again in the class. When introducing herself, Liu Xiaoyan's words were the shortest. After they finished speaking, they returned to the back seat without waiting for applause. After passing Zhu Yun's seat, Liu Xiaoyan glanced down at her.

"This girl is too cold," said a boy in the back seat.

Zhu Yun sideways, what is his name ... Fang Zhijing?

"I didn't expect the school score to be quite high." Fang Zhijing then told the same table.

That's right ...

Zhu Yun was also a little surprised.

This is the best junior high school in the city. Zhu Yun ’s class is originally an experimental class. Liu Xiaoyan ’s entrance test can still be ranked third in the class, which is a remarkable result.

But in the days to come, Liu Xiaoyan did not show the qualities that a "good student" should normally have. She does not speak in class and never asks the teacher after class. Everyone buys workbooks to do it, and she only completes the amount of homework every day, so she no longer studies.

She seems to be only interested in one subject, that is English.

Liu Xiaoyan was very serious in her English class. Every time Zhu Yun was on duty, cleaning Liu Xiaoyan's position, she could see the English books in her desk.

Maybe she wants to go abroad?

Liu Xiaoyan also has a notebook, write on it as soon as it is free, and put it in the deepest part of the desk.

Except for the first day of school, Zhu Yun did not speak to Liu Xiaoyan. In fact, not many people in the class spoke to her. Liu Xiaoyan is too good in her own way, just to make up makeup, so that she looks out of place in the group.

For this maverick student, Zhu Yun ’s mother also heard about her. She was very dissatisfied with Liu Xiaoyan ’s behavior of going to school in makeup. She asked the head teacher to intervene several times.

Zhu Yun and Liu Xiaoyan got together again by the flower bed. It was a free activity class, Liu Xiaoyan sat on the steps, dumbfounded what was written.

There were no other people around. Zhu Yun came quietly behind Liu Xiaoyan and saw that the notebook was written in English. Liu Xiaoyan's English is very beautiful. Zhu Yun's own English is not bad, but she still has a certain distance from her.

Just as Zhu Yun struggled to recognize the content above, Liu Xiaoyan looked back.

Zhu Yun's conditioned reflex draws a bunch of red from the flower bed, covers his mouth, and looks at the playground in the distance, pretending to pass by to see the excitement.

This time the stamens are a little bit numb ... Zhu Yun is strange in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it, for fear that his appearance would be unnatural.

Liu Xiaoyan is still watching her.

Don't be afraid, calm down, Zhu Yun is brainwashing himself, I'm here to eat red.

"You can eat it," Liu Xiaoyan said.

?

As if Zhu Yun had just noticed someone next to him, he turned to Liu Xiaoyan with a puzzled expression on his face, wondering: "What's wrong?" Liu Xiaoyan's always cold face rarely showed embarrassment.

"Get it out quickly."

Zhu Yun took out the red string in his mouth. If you do n’t see it well, you ’ll see the hair standing upright.

I saw a bunch of tiny ants crawling on the string of stamens. At this moment, the ants were frightened and were running around.

No wonder the tongue has been numb all the time! ! !

Zhu Yun threw flowers and shivered to the ground.

Liu Xiaoyan couldn't hold back and laughed aside. Zhu Yun paused, she saw Liu Xiaoyan smile like this for the first time. In a daze, she forgot even the ants in her mouth.

Forget it, eat it, original food.

After that day, they became friends. Zhu Yun also knew for the first time that Liu Xiaoyan copied the Bible from her notebook. The original text of the Bible was too difficult for Zhu Yun, who had just entered junior high school.

"Do you believe this?" Zhu Yun asked Liu Xiaoyan.

"Not counted."

"Why don't you write it?"

"It's not unbelief, I don't have that relationship with him."

Zhu Yun didn't understand it, but at least she figured it out—that is, Liu Xiaoyan worked so hard to learn English, not for going abroad or for grades, but for the God who could not tell the truth.

Zhu Yun has 120 centuries of curiosity about Liu Xiaoyan, she attracts her ... strongly attracts her. Zhu Yun looks for Liu Xiaoyan every day. They eat together, study together, and sit on the steps to eat flowers.

All the classmates had a misunderstanding about Liu Xiaoyan. She felt that she was arrogant and rude, and Zhu Yun felt wrong. Liu Xiaoyan is indeed arrogant, but she is not rude, and her heart is very soft.

On a winter day when it snows heavily, the school leaves school early. Everyone left, only Zhu Yun was waiting for her mother to get off work in the classroom. While she was staring at the snowflakes outside the window, Liu Xiaoyan returned to the classroom.

She bought her a bunch of candied fruits.

They sat in a daze in the classroom together. In the cold weather, the colors between the world and the earth were dim. Fortunately, there were these bunches of candied gourds, which were amazingly red.

In the heavy snow, Liu Xiaoyan told Zhu Yun about her own affairs.

Liu Xiaoyan's parents divorced and lived with her grandmother. On the eve of her school, her grandmother got a serious illness. At that time, the illness was anxious, just like a mountain collapse. The doctor stated very gently that the illness was more or less fierce. Later, the hospital stopped accepting her grandmother for hospitalization. Liu Xiaoyan took the grandmother home for treatment. The grandmother was tortured every night by the illness, and Liu Xiaoyan had no choice.

By chance, she prayed to God.

"Actually, I asked everyone." Liu Xiaoyan said, "I did everything I could. He impressed me most, probably because he had just asked him that night, and the grandmother's illness improved the next day."

"So you started to believe him?"

"It's not a letter." Liu Xiaoyan emphasized again, "I said when I begged him, if he can help my grandmother, I will always accompany him. He did it, so I have to fulfill the agreement."

"I get it." Zhu Yun realized, "It's not a letter, it's a wish, right? My grandmother believes in Buddha and often burns incense to pray."

Liu Xiaoyan thought about it, and then nodded, "Probably this is the case."

In the evening, the mother came to pick her up in the class. On the way back, the mother told Zhu Yun to stay away from Liu Xiaoyan for the 200th time. Zhu Yun was still reminiscing about the sweetness of the crystal sugar gourd in his mouth, and agreed with one sentence after another.

"I was so uncomfortable at a young age and believed in some miscellaneous things ..." Mother complained along the way. "And your teacher, Zhu Yun, remember that except for the class, she doesn't listen to the messy things she talks about on weekdays. . "

In Zhu Yun's meal, Mr. Wang did tell them some warm and meaningful stories in his free time, but it was only told once and chatted. Zhu Yun didn't know why his mother specifically proposed it.

Later, as the difficulty of classwork gradually deepened, students' English level also improved a lot, plus Liu Xiaoyan did not deliberately conceal, and gradually everyone almost knew Liu Xiaoyan's things.

She is farther away from the collective.

She only has Zhu Yun as a friend.

Fortunately, Teacher Wang, the class teacher, was very accommodating. Zhu Yun knew that Teacher Wang had been speaking for Liu Xiaoyan in the Academic Affairs Office. Although there were still teachers and parents dissatisfied, Liu Xiaoyan's performance did not decline, but instead ranked among the best, and the school leaders opened their eyes.

On Christmas, Zhu Yun skipped class for the first time, which means a lot to her, after all, this is the first time in her life.

Liu Xiaoyan took Zhu Yun to go shopping. Zhu Yun was frightened along the way and felt particularly stimulating. They sat in the middle of the square and ate roasted sweet potatoes. Zhu Yun nervously gave the gift she had prepared to Liu Xiaoyan.

"It's important today." Zhu Yun whispered, "I checked some information."

Liu Xiaoyan did not speak and opened the gift box.

Zhu Yun was nervous again: "... I don't know if you like it or not, it's cheap." She didn't have enough reason to ask her parents for money, she saved a week of snack money and bought this gift.

Liu Xiaoyan turned around and lifted her hair and said, "Help me put it on."

Zhu Yun tied her necklace, her fingers were shaking, and it was clear that the weather was not so cold.

Liu Xiaoyan's neck is very white and beautiful.

"Wear it ..." Zhu Yun whispered.

Liu Xiaoyan turned her head and kissed her on the face.

Zhu Yun didn't dare to move, Liu Xiaoyan smiled and said, "I like it very much, thank you."

Zhu Yun was happy, they chatted, Zhu Yun said: "It's about to end."

"Huh." Liu Xiaoyan didn't seem to care much.

"Let's cheer up and try to shut them up."

Liu Xiaoyan turned to look at her, "Who shut up?"

"The ones in my back seat."

Several boys headed by Fang Zhijing always tell Liu Xiaoyan's gossip at school.

"They always talk nonsense, are you angry?"

"What's mad, he said that people have original sins." Liu Xiaoyan's slender fingers pinched the cross necklace that Zhu Yun just gave her, meaninglessly, "If you want to make me angry, they have to have that skill, believe it or not. In the exam I let Fang Zhijing write an essay and he won't win me. "

Zhu Yun looked at her with a smile.

Liu Xiaoyan glanced over, "Why, don't believe me?"

Zhu Yun shook his head.

"letter."

She likes to see Liu Xiaoyan like this, beautiful and proud, just like a peacock.

You must win ...

Zhu Yun said to her in her heart.

Then, they did win the final exam of that semester, and they still won the next semester ... if that did n’t happen, maybe they would still win all the final exams along the way. .

On the fall of the second year of the second year, an appalling terrorist attack occurred across the ocean, which shocked the world. For a time, all the media kept on reporting day and night, and the whole world was shrouded in an ominous cloud.

Zhu Yun, still a junior high school student, did not pay much attention to this matter, after all, she was too far away. Compared with her, Liu Xiaoyan's attention to this matter is significantly higher. Zhu Yun already knew from the report that this terrorist attack had religious factors in it. In those days, Liu Xiaoyan's words became less.

What Zhu Yun didn't notice was that besides Liu Xiaoyan, there was another person in the class who was more silent than ever.

Zhu Yun clearly remembered that it was Thursday, and Liu Xiaoyan did not participate in the physical education class in the afternoon. Fang Zhijing was the representative of the physical education class. He called her back from the class. In the evening, Liu Xiaoyan came back after dinner and saw that the contents of the desk were turned over and there was a pile of dark things in it.

Liu Xiaoyan took the thing out and shook it off, it was a black robe. Her torn notebook also fell out of the black robe.

She looked at Fang Zhijing, who also looked at her.

"Anyway you like God so much, just die with them, and you will see it when you die."

At that time, Zhu Yun was asked by her mother to go to the office to change the subject. When she went back, Liu Xiaoyan had already started.

The students took the initiative to open an empty field to watch the excitement, no one wanted to do more business, and no one wanted to go up to help. Liu Xiaoyan has always been indifferent and arrogant, and there are so many people in her class who are not used to her.

For the first time, she was so angry that she picked up the English dictionary on the table and slammed toward Fang Zhijing's head. But Liu Xiaoyan is a girl after all, far less powerful than Fang Zhijing, he pressed her on the table and put the black robe on her.

At this time, Zhu Yun followed Teacher Wang and returned to the classroom. Teacher Wang was exhausted. When she entered the house, she saw the chaotic scene. She wanted to step forward to stop it. When she turned away from the crowd and saw Fang Zhijing stepping on Liu Xiaoyan and wrapped her entire face in a robe, the gentle and calm teacher Wang suddenly collapsed and she rushed up to give Fang Zhijing a slap and desperate Shouted: "Is it crazy? Is it all crazy!"

The next class in the class was stopped, the parties were called to the principal's office, and the others stayed in the classroom to discuss with excitement.

"Don't you know? Teacher Wang also believes that."

"She believes in the hijacking group?"

"Yeah, the two of them are sectarians right now."

"It's too exciting."

"Where do you know?"

"You don't even watch TV?"

"..."

Zhu Yun said nothing, looking at the empty seat of Liu Xiaoyan, something fell on the ground, Zhu Yun walked over and found the necklace she gave her.

Perhaps it just fell off during the tearing process. Zhu Yun put the necklace away, thinking of waiting for Liu Xiaoyan to come back and put it on again.

But Liu Xiaoyan never came back.

She didn't go to school anymore. Zhu Yun got news from her mother that she had transferred. Similarly, Teacher Wang no longer took Zhu Yun's class, they changed to a very strict male teacher.

Zhu Yun didn't find Liu Xiaoyan anymore, because on the night when the incident happened, she saw Fang Zhijing returning a black plastic bag to her mother.

At that time, Zhu Yun was still ignorant, and she still had a little understanding of many things. She just vaguely felt—

In her life, she can no longer see the girl who ate red with her.

"Hey……"

"Hey."

"Hey!"

Zhu Yun was awakened with a loud voice.

She turned her head and saw an impatient face of Li Zhuangyuan, holding the certificate he had just received.

"What do you think? I can't hear you talking."

Zhu Yun looked forward, Fang Zhijing also received the award, but did not return, and was chatting enthusiastically with the person in charge of the organizing committee.

Li Yi leaned back in his chair and said with ease: "It's finally over. I'll go back to tidy up and take you out to play at night."

If Zhu Yun hadn't heard of it, Li Xiao's words were turned away by her as soon as she fell.

Zhu Yun leaped over Li Qiu and pulled Gao Jianhong on the other side.

"Are you still attending?"

Gao Jianhong did not respond, "What?"

"Game." Zhu Yun stared at him. "Don't you say you want to participate in the game before, do you still want to?"

Gao Jianhong finally understood, "Think, but you didn't mean ..."

"I changed my mind." Zhu Yun held his arm tightly. "Let's get together, we will get this in the second half of the year, okay?"

Gao Jianhong's eyes slowly brightened, "Okay!"

Li Zhuangyuan, who was leaning on the chair aside, finally reacted. He stared blankly at Zhu Yun, half of his body on his thigh, and asked ominously—

"what did you say?"
