The mountains and rivers are gentle today

On the morning of Christmas Day, at 36:[-], Cheng Yanfan woke up from her dream—just like every day since she arrived in L City for a month, her mother and her father fell asleep almost one night at a time, bringing their New object, showing her a disgusting smile—"Yanyan, you're going to have a new brother..." "It's too expensive to stay in city B to learn dancing...how about living with grandma..."

When their smiles were disgusting to the extreme, it was about the time she woke up.

Often at this time, her new roommate has already left.The morning self-study of the "Qingbei Class" in the No. 06 Middle School starts at 30:[-]. Her good student roommate has never been late, and maybe occasionally will be early, who knows.

Theoretically, her morning work also starts at 06:30, but she hasn’t done any early work since she arrived in L City, she just packed up, went to the big practice room after seven o’clock, and then went to the culture class with the flow of people , and go to that small practice room to kill time at night—this is her

When she first transferred, she got it in exchange for the dance that helped her win many awards.

Have you already begun to use the pride you gained from hard training in the past to exchange for depraved power?

Cheng Yanfan rested her forehead with her hand, never before had a hangover made her head ache like this. "I haven't thought about it for a long time." She shook her head and whispered.

She opened the curtains, and the faint morning light stained the window frame with a layer of platinum, but the room was not much brighter.With this dim light, she put on light makeup on the front camera of her mobile phone—there was no mirror in front of the washstand in her grandma's house, so she had to go back to the bedroom to put on makeup after washing her face.

At this moment, she caught a glimpse of the Christmas sock tied on the bedside. Her childlike new roommate insisted on persuading her to buy one last night. If someone told her today that her roommate bought shares in the sock stall, she would have nothing to do with it. Not surprisingly.

As a decoration is also very good, more color.

Cheng Yanfan walked over, intending to fiddle with this naive sock, but when he got closer, he found that the sock was a little bulging.

Pushing away the furry fluff at the mouth of the sock, Cheng Yanfan pulled out a snowball.

Inside the spherical glass cover is a small figure in a dance skirt, frozen at the moment when he spread his arms and bowed to take a bow.

Along with the snow globe, there was a piece of paper that was neatly but rough and carefully folded, but it could still be seen that it was torn from a notebook:

Santa said he also thanked you for such a great show!

The almost five days after Christmas and before New Year's Day are absolute garbage time for bitter high school students who only have a monthly vacation.The heart of Christmas has already left the school, and the New Year's Day holiday will be five days later, and the monthly exam has not yet been taken at the end of December-rao there are strange students like Lin Xiqing who have a headache every day if they don't do the questions So restless.

"I want to have a vacation..." Lin Xiqing, who had been sitting upright all day as usual, finally collapsed on the table when the first quarter of the evening self-study ended at 28 minutes and [-] seconds—the last person sitting also fell down .

"Do you know when we communicate the most?" Xu Lan had already been hiding behind Lao Gao's books and playing with her mobile phone for half an hour.

"When?" Lin Xiqing was confused.

"Two days before the holiday." Xu Lan said, "You will be speaking in self-study class at this time every month. Be careful that Brother Jiang catches you."

"Fuck you, if you want to catch me, I'll catch you first." Lin Xiqing slapped Xu Lan's arm, it sounded like it didn't hurt.

"Do you know what I'm looking at now?" Xu Lan shook the phone at Lin Xiqing.

"Your idol released a new song?" Lin Xiqing lay on the table, dawdling and turning her head to the side, and blinked twice at Xu Lan.

"It's the student council and the teachers who were discussing the awards for the New Year's Day show yesterday! Are you excited?" Xu Lan patted Lin Xiqing on the shoulder, and held up her phone with both hands to engage in a lively discussion.

"Hey, are you all chatting with the teacher during class time?" Lin Xiqing turned her head back and buried her face down in the book. Maybe this is some kind of new method of absorbing knowledge, "Why am I excited? It's just back and forth. Those programs in the professional class won awards."

At [-]:[-], the end-of-get out of class music for the first period of evening self-study sounds. The end-of-get out of class bell at night is always softer than that during the day. However, the pace of students leaving school will not slow down as time goes by.The classes in the high school of the No. [-] Middle School were artificially divided into three, six, and nine classes, and it was time to go back to the class of "accompanying students".

The footsteps of thousands of troops echoed in the stairwell, mixed with screams and cheers of unknown meaning-this kind of scene was staged once a day in No. [-] Middle School. For these students, the night life had just begun.

I don't know if Cheng Yanfan went back to training.

Lin Xiqing suddenly remembered her roommate, who would always leave at 08:30 in the past half a month, and then return to the rented room smelling of alcohol.Maybe it was just like some of the students in the No. [-] Middle School, who sneaked into a certain bar to enjoy the nightlife.

It's better to go to training, after all, such a good talent.

When Lin Xiqing came back to her senses, she was already standing downstairs in the science building.

Lin Xiqing walked into the stairwell of the science and education building with the mentality of "it's better to go and have a look when you come here".

When standing in the hall, I could still hear the sound of the piano or other sounds, but there seemed to be a barrier in the stairwell, so it was very quiet.Every time Lin Xiqing stepped into the science and education building, he would always feel offended by invading other people's territory, so he walked lightly, not even disturbing the corridor lights, and went upstairs with the little light coming in from the window.

At the corner from the second floor to the third floor, Lin Xiqing looked up at the platform on the third floor, and saw two people hugging each other in the dark.

Whoa, what is this?Disgusting little couple?

Just as Lin Xiqing was debating whether to lean over and cough, or to go downstairs as if he hadn't seen anything, one of them pushed the other away.

"What are you doing?" the person who pushed the person exclaimed.

The corridor lights came on.

It was Cheng Yanfan who pushed him.

"No way... Did you encounter harassment on the first day when you went back to training?" Lin Xiqing took a breath and wanted to go up and have a look. Even if it is very abrupt now, she can support her roommate in case of rising In case of any physical conflict, she can still hit her twice.

She walked up a step, and the change of angle allowed her to see clearly the person being pushed away—it was also a girl.

She couldn't understand the situation a little bit.

But Lin Xiqing still hesitated and walked down a few steps, put his arm around Cheng Yanfan's shoulder, and quickly let go: "Hey, what's the matter?"

The girl who was pushed away didn't seem to have reacted, she kept her head down and didn't speak. Seeing Lin Xiqing's voice, she raised her head and glanced at her. Lin Xiqing felt that this look was a bit familiar.

"It's nothing. Why did you come here?" Cheng Yanfan asked, his expression had returned to the usual calm.

Before Lin Xiqing could answer, the girl who was pushed away suddenly bowed to Yanfan and said, "I'm sorry, I thought you were."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and left as if fleeing.

Lin Xiqing suddenly remembered who this person was—it was the girl who was bullied in the bathroom on the second floor that day.

What are these things?What role did Cheng Yanfan play?That girl just said "you are", what are you?

Lin Xiqing was completely messed up, and felt that maybe she shouldn't be here: "I'm here to return the key to the practice room. What about my key? It's over, I seem to have left the key in the classroom, I'm sorry, I'm leaving first!"

When Lin Xiqing pushed open the classroom door, there was thunderous applause, as if what she had just pushed was not a light classroom door, but a two-ton boulder. As a British Hercules or something else, she pushed away the hopes of all mankind.

She was taken aback, in a physical sense - she jumped out of the classroom with a big jump.

Until Xu Lan pulled her back amid thunderous applause, and pressed her head to let her enjoy the applause for two seconds on the podium.

"Our Linlin program just confirmed that we won the 'Best Creative Award' last night. This is the first time that a student from a non-professional class has won this award!" Xu Lan once again announced to the students in the class, blowing Lin Xiqing until late Jiang Ge, the head teacher of the second self-study period, entered the classroom.

In fact, there is a big guy who is more professional than other professional students behind the scenes to guide and accompany the show.

Lin Xi slandered.

The moment Brother Jiang left the classroom, Xu Lan put the phone squarely in front of Lin Xiqing, who reluctantly put back the eyeballs stuck to the physics test paper.

On the screen was the stage of yesterday's performance, which seemed to be captured at the end of her and Cheng Yanfan's show.

Her movements were as expected, facing the right side of the stage and raising her hands—theoretically speaking, the "shadow" played by Cheng Yanfan would also make the same movements as hers.

But in the last movement of this piece, Cheng Yanfan's movement was the opposite of what was expected, facing the left side of the stage

——It looked like an almost hug between the girl in the red dress and her shadow, an unformed kiss.

She didn't know if Cheng Yanfan did it on purpose, or just remembered the wrong action.

"Xuexue from the Liberal Arts 'Qingbei Class' especially liked this scene. She said that it was as if the shadow had been freed, and it was like reconciling with her dark soul who could not see the light..."

What Xu Lan said afterwards, Lin Xiqing couldn't remember clearly, but she just suddenly figured out what the girl in the stairwell hadn't finished saying.

"I thought you were".

Is it gay...?

At [-]:[-], the art students and some cultural students who were not particularly hopeless went home from school; at [-]:[-] past [-]:[-], the students of the "Qingbei Class" returned home from school.

Lin Xiqing thought as she rubbed her shoulders, this seemed to be the first time she was going back on time in half a month.

She stretched and stretched, and when she left the school gate, she found that Cheng Yanfan was actually right in front of her.

She hesitated for a moment, but she still walked up to say hello - anyway, she wanted to meet when she went back.

"Hey, it's just now?" Lin Xiqing looked around and decided to find a topic, "Look why there are so many self-built houses outside No. [-] Middle School. It won't be that No. [-] Middle School will be surrounded by self-built house owners one day."

"En." Cheng Yanfan responded indifferently.

"Uh...look over there..."

"I want to ask you directly," Cheng Yanfan interrupted Lin Xiqing's endless search for topics, and the total distance was only two steps away, and he would reach home if he continued to search, "You actually think that the incident at the entrance of the science and education building today is very strange Bar."

"Haha... a bit. I'm afraid I'm thinking a little bit wrong."

"Thinking about it, you're right." Cheng Yanfan put his pockets in and walked in front, "You also saw that girl in the toilet before, right... because of this."

"But she doesn't look bad."

"She's not bad herself." Cheng Yanfan kicked up a stone on the ground, and the stone rolled a long way, and the dust it stirred up could be seen clearly under the streetlights, "It's just that most people can't accept the difference. Maybe It's because I helped her stretch her legs earlier, and no one else was so... mean to her, so let her think in other directions."

"To put it bluntly, he is still too kind, and it is too easy to trust you people." Lin Xiqing smiled, and patted Cheng Yanfan on the shoulder, "Seriously, aren't you?"

"Who knows. Doesn't it mean that sexuality is fluid, maybe each of us is." Cheng Yanfan shrugged.

Thanks to Cheng Yanfan's sudden intrusion a month ago, Lin Xiqing developed the good habit of checking his mobile phone first thing every day before going home, so as to avoid unnecessary shock.

It just so happened that Cheng Yanfan walked in front to open the door today, and Lin Xiqing stood behind her and swiped her phone with peace of mind.

In fact, no one usually looks for her. Her social circle is small, and her former classmates have no contact with her now. The current classmates can call her in the classroom faster than WeChat to find her. You only need to occasionally return the landlord’s old lady’s reminder to pay the rent. Water and electricity information and her mother's occasional chicken soup articles will do.

But today behind the "new friend", a little red dot appeared.

"Verification information: Don't think about it, never forget it..."

Cheng Yanfan opened the door, and looked suspiciously at Lin Xiqing who was standing still at the door: "Hey, you..."

"Do you know what the first and last sentence of 'Don't think about it, never forget it'?" Lin Xiqing asked suddenly.

"Ah?" Cheng Yanfan, an illiterate student who had been obsessed with dancing for many years, was stunned. "Ten years of life and death are boundless. I don't remember the last sentence."

"The last sentence is 'There is nowhere to talk about desolation in a lonely tomb of a thousand miles'. Don't change culture at our level of education, dance hard, dear!" Lin Xiqing crossed Cheng Yanfan and walked in. Cheng Yanfan smiled and didn't pay attention. When Lin Xiqing's expression became colder and colder, he didn't smile from the beginning to the end.

Lying on the bed, Lin Xiqing was holding the phone, the screen reflected a faint blue light on her face.

She scratched the screen a few times with her fingernails, and finally touched the green "Verified" lightly with her fingertips.
