Embroidered Pillows and Paper Tigers

From the day the two reconciled, Shen Yan in the art class would deliberately go around to the original class to take a look at Li Shi'an, and if he found that Li Shi'an was not serious, he would send a WeChat message: [The top student, Shen Yan, is looking at you. 】

Li Shi'an replied to him: [Student Li Shi'an at the end of the crane knows. 】

Holding hands together when there is no one on the way home, staying up late together, secretly kissing when there is no one, everything seems to be back on track.

Until one weekend, Li Shi'an slept until noon. After getting up and eating takeaway, he was doing papers at home, and when he got stuck halfway, he sent Shen Yan a WeChat message: [Xueba, come and give me a lecture. 】

Shen Yan was in the hospital. When he received Li Shi'an's WeChat message, he called Li Shi'an directly. He said, "My mother is not feeling well, she is already in the hospital."

There was a sense of anxiety in his voice, and Li Shi'an hurriedly asked, "Do you need my help? Which hospital?"

Shen Yan thought for a while and said, "No need, you can do the paper first, I'll come over in the afternoon."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Yan walked back to the seat in the corridor, next to the haggard looking Qu Ya, Shen Yan asked, "Did Fu Youcheng hit you again?"

In the morning when Shen Yan went out for a run and came back, he bumped into Fu Youcheng going out cursing.

Qu Ya whispered, "He pushed it accidentally."

It was "accidental" every time, and Shen Yan showed a painful look on his face: "Why don't you just listen to me?"

There were tears in Qu Ya's eyes: "How will you support you after leaving his mother? What will you use for your education?"

Shen Yan was stopped by this sentence, and was silent for a long time, he thought of Zhu He's house with only four walls and one bed, if the worst was just like this, he could accept it, Zhu He could, so could he.

He said: "I can go out to work and study during the winter and summer vacations. It doesn't matter if the food is poor, the clothes are old, and the living is simple. When I am admitted to university, I can also strive to get a scholarship and go out to work." Finally, he mustered up all his courage. , adding, "If it is time for me to give up dancing, I will give up without hesitation. Would you like to come with me?"

Qu Ya looked at Shen Yan in disbelief. For the first time in so many years, she heard from Shen Yan that he would give up his dream, and she had mixed feelings in her heart: "How can you say that you want to give up dancing? You like dancing so much, and it took you so many years , spent so much thought..."

Shen Yan interrupted her: "Shi'an can skip the Academy of Fine Arts because of his father, why can't I? Mom, I don't want to see you wronging yourself because of me, come with me."

No matter how swearing, full of confidence, the child is just a child after all, and there is always a lack of consideration. Tears glistened in Qu Ya's eyes, and she asked, "Then tell mom, what should the child do?"

The child, the child in Qu Ya's womb has been more than four months old.

Shen Yan suddenly felt powerless, hugging his head in pain with both hands, squatting in the corridor of the hospital.

Qu Ya was not feeling well, and Shen Yan didn't go to Li Shi'an's house after returning home, so he sent a message to Li Shi'an: 【My mother is not feeling well, so I can't come over today. 】

Li Shi'an waited for a long time for such a sentence, but still said: [Okay, don't forget to do your paper. 】

This time, Shen Yan didn't reply after a long time, and Li Shi'an fished while doing the questions.

Qu Ya fell asleep when she came back, and Shen Yan buried her head in her homework. He stipulated that he could not touch his mobile phone until he finished the two papers. He did not reply to Li Shi'an's message after finishing the two papers: [Of course I didn't forget, I'm doing it, and the last three open. 】

It turned out that I was doing a question after not replying for so long, Li Shi'an curled her lips, and then sent it again: [Me too, let's see who is faster? 】

After posting the news, he buried himself in his work and ordered a takeaway on the way. After finishing the three papers, it was already midnight, and he stuck the security window to see the next door. The light in Shen Yan's room was still on.

Li Shi'an knocked on the window frame three times, and after a while, he answered three times.Finally, both sides turned off the lights together.

The next day at school, both of them had dark circles under their eyes, and ran into Lao Xie at the school gate. When Lao Xie saw them, he joked, "Is the dark circles under your eyes contagious? Hahaha, or is it couple makeup? "

Li Shi'an said, "Shut up."

Shen Yan and Li Shi'an separated at the door of the class. Li Shi'an and Lao Xie entered the classroom door. The two had just reached their seats when they saw Zhu He come in.

Zhu He is a boarding student. He is more diligent than anyone else on weekdays. He arrives early and leaves late. Lao Xie and Zhu He have been at the same table for almost two years. Li Shian has never seen him coming later than Lao Xie. In other words, Zhu He had already approached, only to see the wound on his face.

Li Shi'an grabbed Zhu He and asked, "What's wrong? Who did it?"

Zhu He dodged his eyes, brushed away Li Shi'an's hand, and explained casually, "I fell down."

"Where did you fall and your face is covered with injuries?" Old Xie was also surprised.

However, no matter what Li Shi'an and Xie Chen asked, Zhu He didn't say anything until the class bell rang and Zhuang Jing entered the classroom stepping on the bell, and the three sat back in their seats.

Zhu He, who sat back in his seat, couldn't study smoothly as usual, but his eyes were dull and his expression was erratic.

Zhu He's mother is a cleaner. The cleaner's job is very hard. He helps his mother sweep the streets every weekend. But just yesterday, he met a person, that person is Yu Qiao .

Yu Qiao went to find Zhu He on purpose, and took Zhu He aside without saying a word, and asked Zhu He: "I saw it that day, did you see it too?"

Zhu He didn't understand: "What did you say?"

Yu Qiao said, "Li Shi'an and Shen Yan."

Zhu He's expression changed drastically when he heard this, and he said, "I didn't see anything."

He broke free from Yu Qiao and was about to run, but he couldn't run at all. The two of them beat him up, or Yu Qiao unilaterally beat Zhu He up. In the end, Zhu He's mother came to see her and picked up a broom to drive Yu away. bridge.

Zhu He knew what Yu Qiao was asking, but he couldn't admit it, because he knew that Yu Qiao must have no good intentions. Li Shi'an and Shen Yan were very kind to him, and he couldn't do anything to betray his friends.

So Zhu He chose to avoid Yu Qiao. In order to avoid Yu Qiao, he even asked his mother for two weeks of living expenses, and planned not to leave school on weekends.Yu Qiao was punished, and Zhu He thought that he should not dare to make trouble for himself in school.

However, unexpectedly, after Zhu He spent a day in the classroom in a daze for the first time in his life, he was stopped by Yu Qiao on the way back to the dormitory after school.

"If you dare to hit me at school, just wait...wait for expulsion!" Zhu He tremblingly uttered the words that had been held in his stomach for a whole day.

"Are you fucking stupid with your studies? Why would I beat you at school?" Yu Qiao laughed wildly, "You think I came here to threaten you without you having a clue? Tell you, I know a lot It’s over. Heng’an Building Material City, the one who stole and murdered a few years ago was your father, right?”

The blood on Zhu He's face faded little by little.

Yu Qiao laughed again: "Unfortunately, my family opened a store there, or my dad told me that the murderer's son is my classmate. You said if I made this matter public, what would everyone think of you?"

"You bastard!" Zhu He rushed up, but Yu Qiao easily grabbed his collar. During Zhu He's struggle, Yu Qiao said impatiently, "I won't force you too much, just write a letter." Letter, write down what you saw and put it in the principal's mailbox, let's not tell anyone, no one will know what you wrote!"

Zhu He tried hard to pull away Yu Qiao's hand that strangled his neck: "You said you saw it too, why did you come to force me!"

Yu Qiao let go of his hand: "It's only good for me to ask his good brothers Li Shi'an and Shen Yan to write about it! If you don't write, you won't finish thinking about it before graduation!"

Zhu He roared, "Don't even think about it!"

More than a month later, it was time for the mid-term exam. This time, the exam ranking was announced before the May Day holiday. Li Shi'an's grade ranking improved by five places, and he was just around the corner from entering the top ten, while Shen Yan rushed to the first place in his grade.

Lao Xie always took the opportunity to tease: "Okay, Shi'an, you look like you haven't woken up every day, and you have improved by five places?"

"That's right, the night is not for nothing." Li Shi'an was about to brag, when he saw Zhu He rushing out of the classroom with his schoolbag on his back, he quickly asked Lao Xie, "What's wrong with Zhu He?"

Lao Xie sighed and said, "Twelve people lost this time."

"Twelve?" Li Shi'an couldn't believe it. Zhu He has been studying hard, and usually there will be no fluctuations within five. For some reason, his grades have been declining this semester, and he is always depressed. He can't even talk to himself and Lao Xie. not enough.

After thinking about it, Li Shi'an always felt that something was wrong with Zhu He from the day he came to class with an injury. He sent a WeChat message and asked: [Is there something wrong at home? 】

Zhu He only answered him with two short words: [It's all right. 】

Li Shi'an asked another question, but Zhu He stopped answering. Shen Yan had already waited outside the classroom, so he had no choice but to put away his cell phone, put his schoolbag on his back and go out, turning around and forgetting about it.

***

Time passed quickly. One morning when Shen Yan went to school, he found that his schoolbag couldn't fit in. He bent down and saw that the table was full of all kinds of small gifts, snacks and cards. Arrived, as if this day is 520?

This wasn't the first time Shen Yan felt the madness of girls, he remembered that it was the same at Christmas last year, the girls even moved all the books in their stomachs to the desk for him to put in their presents.

Shen Yan roughly flipped through the items, and found out that they were signed by "lulu cat" and "little cutie". Anyway, he didn't know who sent them, so he wanted to take the snacks to Li Shi'an.

During the break of the second class, Shen Yan went to Class 1 to deliver things. He handed the bag to Li Shi'an, and said with his usual indifferent and proud expression: "I don't eat these, I will get fat."

Before Li Shi'an could reach out his hand, Lao Xie snatched the thing with his claws: "Give it to me!" He opened his pocket and looked, sighed, "Wow, it is said that the students in the art and sports class are rich, and they really deserve their reputation."

There were some imported chocolates in his pockets, most of them were looted by Lao Xie, and he gave the rest to Li Shi'an, but Li Shi'an didn't care, he was full of water and didn't want to miss the opportunity to tease Shen Yan: "Student Shen Yan, Shall I give you an explanation?"

"I have nothing to explain, I don't know who sent it."

As soon as Shen Yan finished speaking, there was a sudden commotion in the classroom: "Li Shi'an! Look for Tang Doudou!"

Li Shi'an felt that something was wrong, and looked towards the door together with Shen Yan. A small gift was passed in by the boy. Li Shi'an didn't take it, and Lao Xie rolled over from somewhere to do it for him. Chopper's figure.

"Wow!" The class sighed for a while.

Lao Xie made a fuss with others: "This year is Qiaoba, next year it will be..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Shi'an blocked Lao Xie's mouth with a piece of chocolate, "Shut up!"

Old Xie Ning was unyielding, and said vaguely, "I'll be the Empress next year, right?"

Tang Doudou had already left, and he said something good: "Old Xie, are you stupid for Doudou? You want to be Shi'an's wife and give the empress..." Before he finished speaking, he caught Li Shi'an's eyes and shut up quickly.

Li Shi'an rolled around in Shen Yan's jealous eyes, and hurriedly put Qiao Basai in his hands: "You help me return it, this one is not necessary."

"Isn't it good? Zhu He knows that girls have to give face. Isn't that right, Zhu He?" Old Xie bumped into Zhu He who had been buried in his book without seeing.

Zhu He was bumped by Lao Xie, his body was tilted, and he continued to read without even raising his head.

Lao Xie refused to help, so he didn't return the things for the time being, but Li Shi'an felt that if he didn't return them, Shen Yan's jealous jar might explode one day.

After school, he went to the arts and sports class to stop Tang Doudou, who knew that Tang Doudou would not be happy when he saw that he had that intention, Li Shi'an softened his heart, seeing that Shen Yan was still in the classroom, he didn't dare to be soft, and made another slap, Said: "Doudou, actually I have someone I like, he will not be happy if you give me such a valuable thing."

Tang Doudou: "You are lying, who do you like when you are with Shen Yan all day long? I don't think so!"

She grabbed Li Shi'an's clothes fiercely: "What do you like? They all said that I pushed you too hard at the beginning and you hated me, but now I haven't pushed you. I haven't seen you for a long time." Dare to bother you, everyone is giving presents today, what’s wrong with me giving one? You also accept what others give you!”

Li Shi'an is helpless: "I don't know who gave the other gifts. Besides, they are all small snacks and small cards. If you accept it, you will accept it. This Qiaoba hand is genuine. Even if you don't hand it to me, I will know it is. You sent it."

Tang Doudou was in a hurry: "Then you will accept what I want to give you?"

Li Shi'an was speechless, feeling that he still didn't understand.

Tang Doudou continued on the sidelines: "On my birthday, you still said that it's time to graduate, why do you have someone you like now! You're just lying to me, right? Graduation is graduation, don't talk nonsense, you Hurry up and tell me that you have someone you like."

Li Shi'an: "..."

Shen Yan had already sent a urging look from the side, Li Shi'an comforted Tang Doudou and left with Shen Yan.

On the way home, the two of them didn't speak a word, but Shen Yan was in a surprisingly good mood, walking and dancing two ballet steps from time to time.

At night, they still stayed up late to study the questions together. Shen Yan didn't relax on himself just because he left the art test class. The question bank used was as difficult as Li Shi'an's. Li Shi'an finished almost in time.

Someone was absent-minded, but Li Shi'an didn't notice it, he was so sleepy that he closed the book after finishing, and asked Shen Yan: "Are you going back tonight or staying here?"

Shen Yan tidied his schoolbag and said, "Go back."

Li Shi'an nodded, staggered and rolled to the bathroom to wash up.

Before he entered the bathroom, he was suddenly hugged by Shen Yan from behind, and Shen Yan pressed his ear and said, "Didn't you want me to explain this morning?"
