Bayberry popping beads

The head teacher's talk and the students' visit were added together, and Wen Yu waited until the big class break to get a little free time for Shi Can.

"Enough of the limelight today, did you come late on purpose? After a while, several people came to call each other, is there a girl who wants to call?" He leaned on Shican's table and kicked his stool.

"No, no, I really ran into a red light while riding my bicycle." Cui Shican smiled flatteringly at him, selectively ignored the second half of the sentence, and dug out a pack of red bayberry sugar from the drawer to pay tribute. The one on the bottom was Wen Yu English summer homework, trying to gag him, "here, I will repay you in the next life."

Wen Yu ignored him and put away the notebook and candy together.

In a city that began to rain in September, it was not surprising that it rained lightly on the first day of school.The opening ceremony was changed from outdoor to radio, and the class has not yet been selected. The aborigines are not easy to control the new students. It happened that Lao Yu was called away because of something. The atmosphere of the whole classroom was too relaxed. .

"Hey, Wen Yu." Shi Can called him, poking his hand on the lower back, "Why did you come to this class?"

Wen Yu didn't speak, but Ji Yue turned her head and threw a book at Shi Can angrily with eyes behind her back: "What are you talking about? What's wrong with our class, you come to our class too!"

When Cui Shican begged for mercy, he deliberately put his hands around his mouth to let her hear clearly: "Sister Yue, I was wrong, our class is very good!"

Ji Yue raised her eyebrows, saying that she was almost turning her back on them again.Shi Can shook his head helplessly, as if silently expressing "girls are so easy to coax", he raised his head and saw Wen Yu smiling.

"I haven't answered my question yet." Shi Can squeezed Wen Yu's face, and then asked in surprise, "Your face has become less fleshy, what's the matter, is this finally going to be drawn?"

He wasn't talking nonsense.Wen Yu didn't come out to play for more than a month. Wen Yu locked himself at home and didn't see anyone. Naturally, he didn't know the changes that had happened to his body. I don’t think I’m growing tall, so there’s no need to lose weight.”

Ji Yue turned around again: "Don't listen to him, you are indeed skinny, you should grow up."

Wen Yu: "I'll lend you a good word."

The old god Ji Yue said: "I heard the adults say that the longer you grow, the worse your back will grow. You have a play, Xiao Yu. As for that so-and-so, I think he has no play, and it will be like this in this life."

Cui Shican couldn't help laughing: "I'm 1.8 meters tall, so I'm fearless—sister, don't keep eavesdropping on our chats, okay?"

Ji Yue triumphantly pretended not to hear, and continued to apply her nail polish.The smell of banana water permeates the small area nearby. It is a little pungent and can temporarily separate the senses. It makes people not tired of listening to the headmaster's angry speech on the radio.

Wen Yu listened for a while to the excellent class of the previous school year, and took a sip of the water Shi Can bought: "I really want to grow taller, this is too embarrassing."

"It's better to be taller, but it doesn't have to be too high." Shi Can sat on the seat, looked up at him, and his chin was a little pointed, "It's better not to be taller than me."

Wen Yu smiled: "It's taller than you, so it's a bit more difficult."

She poked his forehead with her finger, and Shi Can also laughed.

Ji Yue said that Cui Shican was the face of the gods who rewarded him with food, and he would never die of hunger.He has good-looking eyebrows and eyes, a kind of unrestrained chic, with a tall and thin figure, thin muscle lines trained by exercise, and wheat-colored skin, he is the most popular type among girls.At this time, he supported his head with one hand, turned an ink pen around with his spare fingers, and smiled with a row of neat teeth.

The back door of the classroom was open, and the wind with the smell of moist rain came in, and the short sleeves of the bright school uniform fluttered slightly.

"By the way," Wen Yu lowered his voice, and decided to tell him about Ji Yue's accusation in the morning, "I was pinched by Ji Yue when I first came here in the morning. She said that you didn't go that time, and her little sister was so angry."

Shi Can lazily said, "How is it?"

Wen Yu: "That Maizi likes you."

As if he had heard a huge joke, Cui Shican stopped turning his pen, then put his face on the table and laughed silently, his shoulders kept shaking, Wen Yu pinched the back of his neck that was exposed: "Don't laugh, it's not at all. fun."

Cui Shican held his arm: "...No, I really, can't stand your expression!"

Wen Yu: "Huh?"

Cui Shican raised his head abruptly, held back his emotions, imitated Wen Yu's expression, and said amidst the other party's increasingly distorted doubts: "It's like you are broken in love! I laughed to death hahahahaha, ouch—"I like you Ah, Xiao Yu, you are really not suitable for saying such things... oh, oh, I can't do it, my stomach hurts—"

"Then it hurts to death." Wen Yu said, with a faint feeling of unhappiness in his heart, he rolled up his homework and went back to his place.

On the radio, after the principal finished his last sentence, the applause from the key class next door came through the wall, and a few good students took the lead in applauding, too sparsely, without any sense of ceremony.

Wen Yu hates the sense of ritual.He picked up the school uniform jacket that was draped over the back of the chair and put it on, thinking that this autumn will be really cold this year.

Wen Yu actually heard Shi Can's question very clearly, but he couldn't answer it.When he was about to answer, Shi Can was distracted by another topic.

"Why did you come to this class?"

The reason is simple, he failed the exam at the end of last semester, but it is not so easy to say it.Has always been considered a top student, but fell from the key class all the way to the ordinary class.The key middle schools in ordinary cities are not as good as the 96% one-pass rate that schools in provincial capitals are proud of. Falling into ordinary classes is equivalent to cutting off half of the future of a good university.

Even though Wen Yu himself knew that the exam was affected by family affairs and he was not feeling well, it was still difficult for him to admit this mistake—he had never experienced such a Waterloo.Not everyone is like Shi Can, who can easily and happily treat being late as a trivial matter.Wen Yu had too high demands on himself, and finally accepted the fact of class division, but couldn't say it out loud.

He stared blankly at the English composition text for a while, and when the teacher asked to hand it in, he picked up the book and flipped through it. A small note fell out of it, flew around twice and then fell to the ground.

Wen Yu bowed down to pick it up, and it was Shi Can's dog-planing calligraphy that he was familiar with: "The handwriting is so good, I feel so stressed to copy it."

He watched and couldn't help but look at the last row.Cui Shican had already fallen down to catch up on dozing off, and from his point of view, he could only look at Shican's hair in blank dismay.

"Sleeping again?" Wen Yu said softly, as if talking to himself.

After being divided into classes, the students around him were mixed, old and new, and he was not in the mood to get to know him, so he simply took out the test papers and did it.There is no need to study physical chemistry anymore, but Wen Yu looked at the newly issued textbook, turned two pages, and became dull again. He seemed to have lost interest in everything, either this way or that, but he was not in a good mood Sample.

On the first day of school, the teachers didn't know any serious lessons, except for English, which commented on the test papers of the placement test.Wen Yu sat in the first row and was asked to answer questions several times. The teacher liked good students, so he was directly appointed as the representative of the English class.

After spending the whole day in a daze, Wen Yu realized that he hadn't said a few words to Shi Can.

Although the two of them had a plastic relationship as classmates, if they didn't contact each other for a day, they wouldn't get used to it.He struggled to figure out what reason to use to open his mouth, and a person ran from the back of the classroom to the front, propping up his desk with one hand: "Wen Yu!"

"Hey!" He replied instinctively, seeing that it was Cui Shican running over, he breathed a sigh of relief, "What's the matter?"

Shi Can looked around: "It's nothing, just let you wait for me."

Wen Yu was puzzled: "Huh?"

Cui Shican reminded him: "Let's go home together after school. Today is Monday, and I won't go to the hospital to deliver meals."

So he remembered it. They always went home together in junior high school.If Cui Shican didn't go to the hospital to take care of his father, he would spend more time with him, and he would be able to take a break from his busy schedule to play a few rounds in Electric City.Cui Shican's home was three bus stops away from his own. He could take Wen Yu a ride when he was riding a bicycle. Later, when he was not in a hurry, the two of them walked and pushed the cart, and walked through one dusk after another.

They are not graduating classes, so they don't need to study late.Wen Yu nodded, indicating that he would be fine in a while.

Shi Can was impatient, he leaned on the podium with his schoolbag on his back and dawdled, showing all kinds of impatience, but he didn't urge him a word.He looked at the wall clock behind the classroom for a while, read the blackboard word by word for a while, read the homework from beginning to end, and sighed like a headache: "Tonight I have to study again in the middle of the night—"

"You can be fast if you don't play with your mobile phone." Wen Yu exposed him, "If you really can't, come to my house and write."

As soon as these words came out, both of them were stunned.

Although Shi Can often comes here uninvited, he basically doesn't bother Wen Yu from Monday to Friday.In his heart, Wen Yu is a good student, and he has to study at night by the lamp, and he is not motivated at all, and he doesn't want to be tutored by Wen Yu as a member of the "one-on-one mutual aid group", so he simply doesn't touch.

As a result, when Wen Yu opened his mouth today, he was telling him to do his homework.

Shi Can didn't know whether to be happy that Wen Yu finally remembered to help him improve, or to light a candle for himself—study was painful, but with Wen Yu's company, he relaxed a little.

But just a little bit.

Shi Can's heart softened for a moment, and the word "no" broke through like a golden boat and ran all the way to his mouth. Seeing that the rejection was close at hand, Wen Yu suddenly raised his head and put the water glass into his hand: "That's it. , go and help me pour the water out."

"Ah?... Oh." Shi Can commanded one movement and ran to the back balcony without any explanation.

It wasn't until he came back that he remembered Wen Yu's words, "That's it." He had lost the best time to refute, so he had to accept his fate in dejection, and went to the carport with Wen Yu to pick up his bicycle.

The September rain stopped temporarily, the playground runway was wet, the wind was much cooler, and the noisy cicadas in summer were gone forever.

Like the words he didn't have time to say, and the time gone.

Most of the people in the school carport are freshmen and sophomores. If you see teenagers or girls in school uniforms lingering, squatting and playing with mobile phones for a while, and looking around for a while, you must be waiting for someone.

But waiting for a lover or a crush is another matter.

The love in this period is pure and simple. Sitting together in self-study, walking together after school, and adding a little date during the holidays can form the initial longing for love.Even if the relationship is not confirmed, there are still some ambiguous feelings lingering in the air, pink bubbles appear even with breathing, those tacit tacit understandings are harder to have after getting older.

Regarding this, Cui Shican should have a deep understanding - there is no shortage of girls around him who handed over love letters, and he has never accepted any of them. He said a lot of rejections, but he still couldn't dispel the madness.

He parked his bicycle in the middle of the carport in the morning and locked it with a fluorescent chain.

"Here." Cui Shican took out a bunch of keys and bent over to unlock it.

Shican's bicycle is the most common kind, blue and white in gentle color, with a white wrought iron basket, and the bells are brand new, with a crisp sound when dialed.Wen Yu patted the raised car seat, dissatisfied, compared with his own height, and angrily found that the dog had grown taller again.

"Aren't you going to grow up?" He said, and he laughed as soon as he finished speaking, feeling that he was being unreasonable.

Shi Can opened the lock, straightened up in a daze, and looked at Wen Yu for a while, as if remembering what he said just now, with an innocent face: "It's not up to me—"

Wen Yu didn't really care about him, so he kicked the bumper.

Shi Can: "Be gentle on your feet, if one day you want to sit in the front, you won't be able to do anything if you get kicked!"

Wen Yu took off his schoolbag and hung it in the crook of his arm, and patted him on the lower back: "I don't sit on the bumper, a girl's seat."

Shi Can corrected him: "Girlfriend's position."

"You have?" Wen Yu looked at him with lowered eyes, his posture and voice sounded like he was smoking a cigarette, it was quite different from the English class representatives who were sitting upright in the classroom, rebellious, very uninhibited.

Shi Can shook her head with a smile, stepped on the pedals and prepared to set off.He also patted the back seat, signaling Wen Yu to jump up.

As a result, just as he was about to start the engine, a girl jumped out of the pile of bicycles next to him—she was probably hiding, and her position was too hidden, so that Shi Can was startled when she appeared obliquely ahead—the voice was a bit shrill , out of shape with nervousness: "Cui...Cui Shican!"

He has to go through similar time, place and scene several times every semester. To put it bluntly, he is used to it.

But Shican wasn't used to it.

He was still in a daze, Wen Yu calmly suppressed the smile on his face, and put his schoolbag back on his back.His eyes swept over the girl's obviously meticulously drawn face, the lipstick outlined a bit of adult maturity, but the eyes were still shining, which was the unique passion of youth, and it showed together with the puffy cheeks immediately after calling out his name out of purpose.

"I'm leaving first." Wen Yu said, taking out his water glass from the basket.

If Shi Can paid more attention, he would find that his good friend's words suddenly became very cold, and he returned to the state of speaking in class: indifferent, indifferent, but with a bit of mean provocation.

He took a look at the girl, all ten of her fingers were fighting with the hem of the school uniform, wrinkling it into wrinkles.He looked at Wen Yu again. The man usually passed the passing mark in sports, but now he was walking very fast.

"Wen Yu!" Shi Can shouted, but he didn't look back.

A piece of my heart sank suddenly, as if the usual softness had gently collapsed.It wasn't painful, or even felt.But Shi Can was stunned. He quickly understood the cause and effect, and only nodded slightly at the girl: "I'm sorry, I'm not interested in dating, and I won't accept the confession."

After finishing speaking, he quickly jumped on the bicycle and kicked a few times, and when passing Wen Yu, he hooked his shoulders, causing him to stagger.

Shi Can: "I rejected her!"

Wen Yu glanced at him sideways, but remained silent.

Shi Can was a little flustered, and quickly added: "I didn't hear that she liked me!"

Wen Yu's face softened a bit, but his tone was still very mean: "Don't you just like to hear that people like you? You are so charming that even the belle from the school next door wants to ask you out."

Shi Can asked with a question mark on his face: "Who is that?"

"Maizi!" Wen Yu became furious, and kicked the bumper again, "Ji Yue introduced it the first time we met, she is the belle of the girl's school next door, she likes you like you like you, doesn't she like to hear—"

"Ah," Shi Can was dumbfounded by his series of "likes", and directly pinched Wen Yu's nose to keep him from speaking, "I don't like to hear it, and I don't like them either..."

Wen Yu suddenly calmed down, blushed, and looked away.

But Shi Can seemed to have a flash of inspiration, he let go of his hand with great interest, and asked, "What are you upset about?"

The last bit of sunset glow fell into the thick clouds, reflecting the magnificent colors above the nine heavens.The stagnant water in the playground is like a mirror with two smooth sides, sincerely recording every line.

"I'm not unhappy." Wen Yu finished with his head down, then sat in the back seat with confidence, and repeated, "I'm not unhappy, I just feel noisy."

Shi Can lowered her voice: "It's okay, I'll treat you to milk tea."

When he spoke like this, it was always like playing an old song next to his ear, with a kind of low-pitched tenderness.Then he stepped on the bicycle, sprinkled a string of silver bells, and fell into the water-logged mirror along with the wind.

The ruts passed the school gate, and there was a bit of mud outside, with fine lines rolled out.

Wen Yu stared intently at the pattern that spread to the distance, raised his hand to grab Shi Can, and pushed down the school uniform jacket that was blown up by the wind.
