Bamboo horse fell from the sky

'Mom and Dad came home late today, breakfast is on the table, there are noodles in the refrigerator, remember to cook it yourself. '

It was still a light blue sticky note, and it was still a word-for-word message.

The 12-year-old Yu Ran stood by the coffee table, barefoot on the cold marble tiles.

The bone-piercing cold penetrated into the skin from the soles of the feet and spread to the internal organs.There was the sound of pattering rain outside, but the house was as silent as a tomb.He didn't turn on the light, and the surroundings were gloomy and depressing.

Yu Ran tidied himself expressionlessly, and finished the breakfast on the table mechanically.It is 5:[-], and he has to catch the next bus within [-] minutes, but he doesn't know where the umbrella at home is.

It rarely rains in Beicheng. Before it rained, he would stay at home alone, not knowing where to put the umbrella.

He rummaged through boxes and cabinets for a while, finally found an old umbrella, and went out in a panic.

He ran wildly in the rain with an umbrella, but he couldn't help thinking about the past in his numb mind.

It was also on a rainy day that he overslept, but at that time Shen Chi would be waiting for him at the door no matter how late it was, seeing his flustered appearance, Shen Chi even held him back to prevent him from running away.

' will get you wet. ' Shen Chi said holding an umbrella.

'With me to accompany you, there is no need to panic. '

It was raining head-on, and the umbrella was useless when he was running. His chest and trousers were all wet. Fortunately, he saw that the bus was still parked in front of the stop sign.

Yu Ran sprinted quickly from a distance of more than ten meters, and when he was about to arrive, he didn't pay attention to his feet, his body tilted, and his calf slammed hard on the stone steps.

It hurts, it hurts so badly.

His face turned pale in an instant, his teeth were grinning in pain, and physiological tears kept pouring out of his eyes, but Yu Ran had no time to delay, and just about to stand up and get on the bus, he saw the bus swaying and driving away from the corner of his eye .

I'm sure I'm going to be late and get beaten again.

Yu Ran thought subconsciously.

In fact, when he was in Qi'an, the teachers were very kind to him. He would not scold him if he was late and say sweet words to the teacher with a smile, let alone scold him so badly, and beat him with a pointer.

The calf was bruised and blood was oozing from the wound.

Yu Ran lifted up the trouser legs to have a look, then put them down again.

He shook his legs and stood in front of the bus stop, waiting for the next bus.

He waited for more than ten minutes before the next bus finally arrived tremblingly.There were a lot of people in the car, Yu Ran managed to squeeze in.

Not long after he stood still, a girl standing next to him suddenly exclaimed, and the sound pierced Yu Ran's ears with pain.

"Your umbrella wet my skirt!" She frowned and yelled at Yu Ran.

Surprised, Yu Ran hurriedly tightened the umbrella, apologizing non-stop. He remembered that he had shaken the umbrella dry before getting into the car to put it away.

Yu Ran glanced at the girl's skirt, and found that the wet marks were not caused by his umbrella, but the culprit was the wet umbrella in the hand of the man diagonally behind.

The girl's scream just now attracted the attention of most people in the car, and many people looked at him with eye-catching reprimand and contempt.

Yu Ran felt a little aggrieved.

But since he came to Beicheng, he has suffered much more grievances than this, and this discomfort is really nothing.

After getting off the bus, there was no sign of the student in front of the school gate, and he was late.

Yu Ran was stopped by the security guards and registered his name as the class teacher. The moment he entered the school gate, he suddenly remembered something.

He went out in such a hurry that he seemed to have forgotten his schoolbag.

Yu Ran stood there in a daze, clutching at the hem of his clothes helplessly, and after a moment of hesitation, faced the indifferent eyes of the security guards and walked towards the teaching building.

To be trained again.This is the only thought left in Yu Ran's mind.

His class teacher is well versed in the way of following others. Yu Ran went to a well-known private middle school. The classmates in his class were either rich or powerful, but his background was blank.

"upstart".

The classmates in the class all called his family this way behind his back.

His father took the money from buying a house and came to Beicheng to start a business with his classmates. He thought he had taken advantage of the policy and made some money.

But at the time the money was just enough to cover his living expenses and his schooling expenses.

Therefore, a child like Yu Ran who has no background and capital has become a student who can be manipulated at will in the eyes of the head teacher.

Sure enough, when he walked into the classroom with the sound of morning reading, the head teacher sitting on the podium gave him a cold look, and then shouted in a sharp voice: "From today onwards, everyone who is late for morning reading will be given to me." Stand outside the corridor all morning."

The class fell silent in an instant, Yu Ran didn't stand or sit, other people's gazes hit him like bright lights, he bit his lower lip, and walked towards his desk step by step with his head down.

The desk is tidy, and the textbooks and notebooks are neatly placed, but there is only one thing missing - the English books for morning reading. Yu Ran searched the drawer on the desk and couldn't find it.

All this made him more anxious.The homeroom teacher who had been staring at him for a long time frowned fiercely, raised his chin and moved to his side, swung his pointer and knocked it on the edge of Yu Ran's desk.

"Didn't understand what I said? Why don't you get out and stand outside!"

Yu Ran looked at the pointer with a faint pain in his palm. From the beginning of school until now, this pointer has only hit him.

There seemed to be a scene in front of his eyes where the head teacher waved the bamboo stick and left red and swollen lines on his hand.

It hurts.

"Looking for books."

Yu Ran said something in a low voice, but was suddenly slapped on the head by the class teacher.

"Get out, what do the people who are punished for standing want books for?"

As soon as the words fell, there was muffled laughter in the class, like thin needles piercing the soft apex of the heart.

Yu Ran froze in place, he clenched his fists tightly, his nails had obvious pinch marks under the palm prints.

Yu Ran pursed her lips and said nothing, turned her head and walked towards the back door, but her footsteps stopped suddenly when she passed the trash can.

He saw an English textbook lying in the trash can that he couldn't find for a long time. The textbook was piled up with other trash, and the scratches on the cover were very obvious.

He knew that he didn't like his classmates, but he never thought that this kind of campus bullying would happen to him.

"He found it." He heard a deliberately low voice not far away.

He couldn't hear what was said after that.

Yu Ran indifferently withdrew his eyes from the book, and threw it away, he didn't want it anymore.

Yu Ran, this is not Qi'an, don't cause trouble.He warned himself in his heart, which was also what his mother kept telling him.

It was still raining outside, and God didn't seem to want to stop.

Yu Ran stood in the corridor, with his back leaning against the cold wall, the sharp coldness pierced into the flesh and viciously invaded the internal organs.

The wind was a bit strong, the rain drifted into the corridor, the injury on the calf was still aching, the clothes were still soaked, and the sticking to the skin was very uncomfortable.

He just stood like this, looking at the thin rain with clear eyes, dark clouds piled up on the narrow sky, the whole world was gloomy, without sunshine.

The cool rain slanted on the banana leaves in the flower bed, and the leaves were crackling.For a moment, Yu Ran felt the overwhelming loneliness.

At this time, he would miss Qi'an, the warm sunshine there, the kind teacher, the friendly classmates, and especially Shen Chi.

I want Shen Chi to look at my smile with gentle eyes, think of him tidying his desk with his eyes downcast, think of his always gentle tone when talking to himself, and also want to buy a one-dollar gift with him at the school gate every day after school. Sausage time.

It would be great if Shen Chi was by his side, he wouldn't be alone, and it would be fine if he didn't have new friends, as long as he wanted Shen Chi, even if he didn't do anything, as long as he looked at him, he would feel at ease.

If the book was thrown away, he could read a copy with Shen Chi, and if the teacher kicked him out, Shen Chi would also stand with him as a punishment.

Yu Ran shivered from the cold, his scattered thoughts were suddenly pulled back, and Yu Ran, who was addicted to imagination, felt his whole body suddenly sank, suddenly realizing that he was still in this cold world.

This was just one of the countless times he was lost since he came to Beicheng, a very common one.

During that time, he was used to indulging in memories and then being soberly disappointed.

After going back and forth like this, in the end, it actually wiped out his last thought about Qi An.

After all, if you want to live a good life, the first thing is to learn to let go of the past.

What's more, no matter what, there is no going back.

*

Yu Yan and Shen Chi's version was not so heavy, he omitted many details, and his tone was very relaxed, as if he was just talking about a very common and trivial matter.

He finished speaking, but he didn't hear Shen Chi's feedback for a long time.

?

Yu Ran turned his face sideways, facing Shen Chi's slightly drooping eyelashes.

Today's weather is really good, Yu Ran watched the warm wind blowing through the hall, slightly lifting Shen Chi's hair.

I don't know if it's his illusion, Shen Chiming's star-like eyes seem to be covered with a little bit of sadness.

Shen Chi was really uncomfortable.

He remembered that Yu Ran was a heartless little sunflower when he was a child, he didn't hold grudges, and he didn't feel pressured.

Others quarreled fiercely with him, even when he almost made a move, he turned his head and forgot, and the next day he would approach him with a smile and ask the other party if he would eat spicy strips.

What made him uncomfortable would allow him to speak clearly four years later, and even the lines were filled with lingering depression.And in those years in Beicheng, how many such things did he encounter?

It was clearly a sunny day, but Shen Chi seemed to hear the sound of dense raindrops falling on the ground, and a damp breath lingered faintly at the tip of his nose, making him unable to breathe.

He raised his hand and touched the scar that was neither long nor short behind Yu Ran's ear.The scar that was exposed after Yu Ran cut her hair short yesterday was soft and fragile, yet it struck Shen Chi's heart like a heavy hammer.

Shen Chi gently pressed his hot fingertips on it, his movements full of caution.

Immediately afterwards, he said a sentence without beginning or end: "Can this scar disappear?"

Yu Ran didn't know why Shen Chi started to pay attention to his scar, he let his body itch so much, and then recalled what the doctor said.

"It probably won't go away."

Can't get rid of it.

Shen slowly closed his eyes.

*

The Chinese class passed quickly, Yu Ran had just chatted with Shen Chi for a while, when the get out of class bell rang like a reminder.

...If only this shit was always this active.

"Today is Monday, the flag is going to be raised, right?" Yu Ran stretched, stretching his stiff body.

He put his arm on the back of his head and touched his scar secretly.

Is it that easy to touch?Hiss...it seems to be quite soft.

He was distracted for a moment, and then quickly chased away the weird thought.He patted the back of Shen Chi's hand and asked, "Hey, are you still on stage to host?"

"No. It's someone else's turn this week."

At this time, Yu Ran saw all the students in the class rushing out of the classroom, so he grabbed Shen Chi's wrist and followed.

"Follow up."

Shen Chi's body froze almost invisibly for a moment, his face was a bit stunned, but Yu Ran walked in front of him, so he couldn't see his expression.

Shen Chi also took this opportunity to lower his eyes, staring at Yu Ran's gesture of holding his wrist in a daze.

He moved his fingers as if he wanted to hold back, but his subconscious didn't dare.

In fact, at certain moments, he was still the little boy who silently watched the afterburn by the window sill.

Timid and cowardly, he can only watch from afar and dare not take the initiative to take a step forward.

but……

The corridor was crowded with people, and Yu Ran didn't like being pushed around. A boy next to him accidentally bumped into him, causing his arm to hurt.

"I'm sorry." The boy hurriedly apologized to him.

Yu Ran waved his hand indifferently, and in the next second he felt someone grabbing his hand, the movement was light but steady but with irresistible force.

He was pulled back, and his back leaned against a hot and hard chest. The hands held him for only a few seconds, and then let go, but at the same time, the arm that was hit was protected by someone. .

"Be careful, stick to the wall."

A deep voice sounded from behind his ears, leaving Yu Yan stunned for two seconds.

Shen Chi frowned, looking at the distressing scar under his eyes.

But he will also summon up courage at a certain moment, just like the first time he met Yu Ran's eyes on that summer afternoon many years ago.

Also like at this moment, he almost half embraced the other person into his arms.

Since then, the mountains are high and the roads are far away, and the years are flowing, and they can no longer be separated.
