Ha ha ha ha.

"Is it fun?"

After we made sure that no one was chasing me, Brother Gao pampered my head and said.

"Cool."

I laughed heartily.

"Then where are we going to play next?"

"Of course it's junior high school. After graduating from elementary school, it's time to go to junior high school."

I said excitedly.

"Please lead the way, my npc."

Seeing Brother Gao bow like a gentleman, I laughed out loud, really like a loyal NPC, while explaining, I brought Brother Gao to my abandoned junior high school.

Different from elementary school, my junior high school is located on a hill, and every time I have to go up through more than 100 steps, we jokingly call it "Learning Buddhist Scriptures from the West".Due to the relatively remote location, no one has contracted or leased it so far, so it has to be abandoned.

"Xiao Fei, are you sure there is no one here?"

"uncertain."

I smiled slyly.

But Brother Gao acted like he was afraid of someone, and followed me over the wall again.

The yard is full of withered weeds, which are still clearly visible under the snow cover.

"There is really no one here, and the snow hasn't been swept."

Brother Gao looked around and said with emotion.

"That's right, this place used to be a flower bed, and we laid the road bricks, but they are useless now."

"Do you also work in junior high school?"

Seeing brother Gao's sympathy for each other, we all laughed at the same time, "Yes, it seems that all the students in the world have worked as school workers, and they are still free labor."

"We even pulled weeds!" Brother Gao supported me as we walked through the thick snow, "My junior high school is very dilapidated, and almost all the work is done by us boys."

"So do we," I shouted almost empathetically, "even when the water was cut off, it was our boys who brought the water up bucket by bucket to cook in the cafeteria. I also saw the interior of our school cafeteria that time. "

"How about it?"

"I almost didn't eat lunch after watching it."

"Ha ha ha ha."

"Really, if it weren't for the puberty period, I would be so hungry that I wouldn't eat it. You don't know, they use a shovel to stir-fry, turn it over twice and poke it directly on the ground, and then put on their boots one by one. Here and there, when the food is ready, it’s like pouring pig food into the bucket for us to eat, and then we take the plate and scoop it out. We boys all ate abnormally at noon that day. difficult."

"Haha, haha, our schools are so far apart, and the two places are far apart. I didn't expect to find something in common here in the cafeteria."

"Haha, yes," I smiled speechlessly, "I never thought the canteens in the south would be so barbaric. I thought we were like this in the north."

"How is it possible?" Finally, he walked to the door and looked at the locked General Tie. Brother Gao turned his head and said, "They are all children in the development stage, and we southerners can eat well. How about I be taller than you?"

"Yeah, before you said it, I really didn't expect Brother Gao to be from the south. Compared with me, I look more like him."

"Stop talking about that," Brother Gao gestured towards the door, "What should I do? Is there a secret base?"

"Of course there is."

Going around the base of the wall, we climbed over an arch again, and Brother Gao suddenly realized.

"This this……"

"I didn't expect that the school is so poor, and there is no iron railing here."

Standing on the top of the wall, the platform on the second floor is less than half a meter away from me. There are still no railings on the windows, and the broken glass makes it easy for us to jump in.

"No wonder no one has contracted this place," Gao Ge teased, "This place is almost going to be repaired, almost like a rebuilt."

There was a cold wind blowing in the cold corridor from time to time, and the sound of our footsteps echoed alone in the building, as if infected by the cold atmosphere. Instead of talking like before, I fell into deep memories.

Seeing that I didn't say a word, Brother Gao silently accompanied me.

From the second floor to the third floor, and from the west side of the third floor to the east side.

Finally, at the corner of the third floor and the second floor, I spoke.

"This is my third grade class," I said, pointing to the dilapidated signboard of Class Five, "Brother Gao, do you know? Our third grade is divided into good and bad classes, and I'm in fourth grade in the first and second grades." , When I was in the third year of junior high school, the original class was disrupted, and some repeat students were recruited to form two good classes, but this class was a bad class in the previous class. As luck would have it, the seat I sat in happened to be that The position of the boss of the class."

Although I am laughing, I know that I should be uglier than crying.

Because some things that were pressed deep in my memory, along with the familiar old scenes, resurfaced in my mind.

Seeing me forcefully smiling, Brother Gao didn't interrupt me like before, but waited silently.

"One night, they came back somehow, and we were having dinner. Everyone in the room was startled when they came in, and I was shocked. The big brother is very famous. I have heard of him since the first grade of junior high school. , and he actually came straight to me and said that I was sitting in his seat."

Seeing my ugly face, Brother Gao stepped forward, wanting to touch my head as always.

But I dodged it.

"Do you know what he said to me?" My eyes were filled with tears. I knew that they were tears of fear.

"He said I was really good-looking, and he said he liked me."

Visible to the naked eye, Brother Gao's face became stiff all of a sudden.

"When I realized it, there was almost no one in the room. Everyone was unknown. I didn't know when they walked out, and I was left alone surrounded by them."

My tears finally fell, even I don't know why I have to tell Gao Chi.

I didn't even tell my mother about this.

And at this very moment, as if the scene had come to life, these things I swore to forget, these fears I thought I had forgotten, were here so clearly, as if they had just happened.

"At that time, I was scared stupid. I was a nerd in junior high school. I didn't know anything except studying. I only knew that they were punks, so I stayed far away from them every time. I almost didn't have any intersection with them. There were classmates and others. I was asked for money by them, because my clothes were shabby enough, they didn’t even ask me for money. So I didn’t say anything at the time, just looked at him stupidly, until the teacher came in and chased him away killed them."

The corridor became quiet again. The cold wind blew across my face, turning the tear stains into cold sharp blades, cutting my face open. Those humiliating memories finally came to light.

I don't know how long it took before I heard Brother Gao say, "What happened next?"

later.

Looking at Brother Gao who still looked ugly, I pointed to the platform at the junction of the two floors and said.

"Later, he came to school every three to five times. At night, when I had to go out to buy food, he blocked me here. When I came out, there was no way. I had to ask my classmates to bring food for me. In order to avoid him, I was scared. I don’t even dare to go to the toilet, but I know that going on like this is not an option.”

Brother Gao's complexion finally got better, and his eyes seemed to be encouraging, which gave me the courage to continue talking.

"The high school entrance examination is coming soon, and I know it won't work like this. My future can't just be ruined in his hands. He's going to be in the society after graduating from junior high school, and I'm going to go to a provincial high school and university, so when He finally got impatient with waiting, blocked me here with his mouth full of wine, and when he told me again that he liked me, I said to him, can you let me go?"

"He agreed?"

"He's drunk, what can he know?" I smiled wryly, "He just wanted to hug me and tell me that he really likes me. Don't worry," seeing Brother Gao's tight fists, I said hastily, " I dodged, and then I humbly, begged, and choked up a little, and said to him, 'Please let me go.'”

"..."

Brother Gao let go of his tense hands, and I continued.

"But he still didn't give up, and he came a few times after that, just stood here and didn't say anything. This time, he was finally discovered by the teachers. They brought me to him. In the teacher's office, I saw him for the last time. .”

"He only said that he likes me, and the teacher can't help it. What can she do with this kind of poor student who is not stingy?"

"Finally?"

"In the end, the teacher reminded me. She kept saying that I haven't graduated yet. We are still young and don't know what love is. Then I thought, I can lie to him first. I told him that I have to study and save money. Midpoint, when I graduate I'm thinking about love."

Brother Gao was obviously relieved.

"In fact, I just deal with him first, because I know that as long as I study hard, it will be impossible to see him again. As long as I am admitted to the provincial midpoint high school, it is impossible to see me with him. It will become two parallel lines that will never intersect, so under the witness of the teacher, he promised to wait until the end of the high school entrance examination and not to bother me during the period, and I also successfully passed the provincial midpoint, and rented a house as soon as I graduated , moved out of here."

Relieved, I wiped away my tears and said finally.

"And he has long since disappeared. Then I never saw him again."

There was silence in the corridor again, and this time, Brother Gao walked up to me not long after.

I looked up at him stubbornly, and suddenly seemed to be back in the third year of junior high school, the moment when I was stuck here.

It's just that the person in front of me is no longer a face that frightens me, and the smell of wine is no longer in his mouth, but the hot face I am familiar with.

As if he had finally made up his mind, Gao Chi said with a serious face, "Xiao Fei, I like you."
