Bayberry popping beads

rubbing hands excitedly only three times this week

It feels a lot like skipping class in high school.

Wen Yu didn't skip many classes. The one that impressed him the most was a certain history class, which was close to the end of the afternoon.That time when the grades just came out, he didn't pass the exam, and he was so depressed that he lay motionless on the desk, like a tortoise.Shi Can passed by and said let's go for a walk.

He led Wen Yu back and forth, against the flow of people, jumped downstairs briskly, stepped over three steps, turned his head and beckoned Wen Yu to follow.Wen Yu didn't ask him where he was going, but was about half a meter behind Shi Can, not too close or far away, with his head drooping, his steps heavy, and he wasn't happy at all.

The class bell rang, Wen Yu turned his head, but did not go to the classroom, Shi Can called him: "Xiao Yu!"

He asked if you skipped class, Wen Yu subconsciously denied it, Shi Can showed a sly smile, and grabbed his wrist.There were often such movements between them, but Cui Shican led him to walk faster and faster, keeping away from the sound of Lang Lang's book.

There is a library in the school. The door is usually locked, but the stairs can be walked up.

Normally, no one would come here, so Shi Can took Wen Yu to the top of the building. The rooftop overlooked the Sunken Music Square and the small garden, and looked at the raised roof of the school gymnasium from a long distance away.

It was autumn at that time, the ginkgo biloba on the campus was yellow, and the camphor was still green, and the colors were scattered and panoramic.

They stayed on the roof for a class, and didn't return to the classroom as if nothing had happened until the bell rang.Wen Yu couldn't remember what he did, but Shi Can sat casually on the edge of the railing, with one leg raised by his side, leaning against the barbed wire and playing with his mobile phone with his head down. He had a deep memory.

There was no wind, no sun, just an ordinary gloomy autumn day.

And a few years later, when Wen Yu and Cui Shican walked outside the library again, it seemed like a lifetime away.

He looked at Shi Can: "What are you doing, you want to go up to have a wind? The sun is so bright today."

"Just walk out and get here." Shi Can said innocently, "I won't go up, they won't find anyone in a while, and climbing the stairs will be tiring. Let's go over there."

Pointing in the direction of the playground, Wen Yu laughed and walked side by side with him.

He sometimes suspects that Cui Shican actually knows everything and remembers everything, but he doesn't want to say it, and he doesn't ask any more.Wen Yu didn't want to call it ambiguous, because he didn't even understand Shi Can's thoughts at all, let alone enjoy it.

The campus is almost the same as in the past, and there seems to be traces of their past everywhere.

When passing by the infirmary, Wen Yu noticed that Cui Shican looked into the window for a while, but was blocked by white paper and couldn't see anything, so he turned his head wistfully.He blinked: "What's wrong?"

"It's okay." Shi Can replied quickly, afraid that he would ask the question to the end.

"You're quite attentive. You haven't been to the infirmary a few times." Wen Yu said with a smile.

After finishing speaking, Cui Shican's complexion suddenly became ugly, and the lines on his side became tense.Realizing that something was wrong, Wen Yu touched his elbow: "What's the matter, did you get sick in the third year of high school?"

Shi Can said bluntly, "...it doesn't count either."

Wen Yu frowned: "I don't know."

"I don't blame you." Cui Shican said, lifting his chin forward, "Let's go to the playground."

This time Wen Yu didn't continue to ask. He pinched his phone, thinking that there must be something hidden in it. Cui Shican always does this. It's just a lie.

During class time, there are a few sporadic students playing on the basketball court.It should be students from other grades, come to play if there is no class, no matter whether it will disturb the graduating class who are nervously preparing for the exam.

The parallel bars were next to the basketball court, and they stopped tacitly when they got there.Shi Can stood crookedly, lowered her head and took out the cigarette case, reached out to Wen Yu, and silently asked if he wanted it.

"Smoking is banned on campus." Wen Yu said, "You really didn't care before and now."

Shi Can himself had already taken one in his mouth, lowered his head, lit it and took a sip, then said slowly: "Oh, speaking of before, I remember that someone smoked here too, and Lao Yu didn't even know about it, and thought that someone was the Kuaiguai brand. .”

"It's his own ignorance." Wen Yu took the cigarette case, glanced at the cigarette between Shi Can's lips out of the corner of his eye, and suddenly had a thought.

He bit down on the slender cigarette and approached, noticing Shi Can's momentary nervousness and wanting to back away, so he slammed down his arm.Wen Yu lowered his eyelashes, trying to pretend to be natural: "Don't move."

The basketball landed in my ears, and the sound of brisk footsteps.

Shi Can had a slight fragrance of washing powder on her body.

The two cigarettes touched slightly in the air, and the red light flickered slightly.

"Excuse me." Wen Yu took half a step away, still holding the cigarette with his middle and ring fingers. He couldn't use any strength, so he could only smoke one mouthful at a time with the mint flavor. The sunlight cast meaningful shadows on the lower eyelids.

The contact was so close that Shi Can didn't recover for a long time, the soot fell down and burned his fingers, he made a "hiss" and unconsciously licked that place.

Cui Shican doesn't know how to describe it. It smells good, but it's a bit too deep, and it doesn't really suit him.He thought aimlessly, as if he was recalling what happened just now, and said with a vague look in his eyes: "...Next time, let me tell you first."

Wen Yu agreed, flicked the cigarette ash, and watched the classmates play basketball.

They were still wearing the same blue and white school uniforms. Tall boys would look taller in them. They were scrambling for the basketball, and whether they made it or not, they were all smiling young, very happy.

"Are you still playing basketball?" Wen Yu asked him.

Shi Can shook her head: "No time."

Wen Yu smiled: "Excuse me, I don't think you're in the mood."

Shi Can didn't deny it: "You can say whatever you want."

"Didn't Chen Qian drag you to the spring game at that time, and then you didn't go?" Wen Yu abruptly mentioned the past, and he was surprised that his memory was actually very clear. It’s easy to go, a round of tours, and I was beaten to the ground by...it seems to be the seventh class. Because of this, Chen Qian was sad for several days."

"He has a strong desire to win." Shi Can said.

"More than that, it's like doing one thing. Even though you work hard, you still can't change others." Wen Yu said pointedly, "There's actually a limit to what Chen Qian can do, because we don't cooperate with him."

Shi Can turned her head: "You didn't go to play then."

Wen Yu frowned and made a gesture to step on his shoes: "So I was also reflecting on myself. If I had been training with you every day at that time, I might have been able to do it—you even went to the gym to train at that time."

"Let's play, I'm not serious." Shi Can also remembered and blinked.

"Well, I went indoors when it rained heavily one day." Wen Yu's heart skipped a beat for no reason when he said this, and his fingers in his trouser pockets were clenched tightly, so he didn't look at Cui Shican. It was really big, and then it was over, I said wait a while before leaving, you insisted on dragging me to tread water."

Shi Can: "..."

"The shoes are soaked, and the clothes are also soaked." Wen Yu smiled for no reason, "The last two of them had a fever together. Do you still remember it? If I do it again, I will definitely not go with you."

He didn't go to see Cui Shican, it seemed like a century had passed before he heard the person next to his ear say, "I don't remember clearly."

The missed heartbeat was made up again, Wen Yu let go of his fingers, and switched the cigarette from his left hand to his right, sweating from the place where he was holding the cigarette butt.He said nonchalantly that you don't remember, and he froze when he spoke, as if he was about to cry, the sun was shining brightly, and his eyes hurt.

The answer was similar to what he had imagined, but Wen Yu just felt unwilling.

He has remembered the rainy days for so many years, how can Cui Shican say lightly that he can't remember clearly?

Wen Yu was obsessed with his rationality that was about to collapse, so he didn't look back at Cui Shican, so he naturally didn't know how complicated Shican's expression was.

Come again, Wen Yu said just now, I will definitely not go with you.

Cui Shican just didn't want to admit that he was really at a loss when he heard this sentence.

Fortunately, Yi Jingxing's phone call saved their awkward silence.The speech in the classroom was over, and it was said that the response was good, and he was highly praised by Lao Yu—I had never seen him praise so much in the whole three years of high school, Yi Jingxing said.

"He said it's over." Wen Yu said after hanging up the phone, "Let's go to the teaching building and say goodbye to Lao Yu. If you really don't want to, I'll go there by myself... No, you still have to go there."

"Ah?" Cui Shican was dizzy by a series of circles.

Wen Yu glared at him: "Otherwise, who knows if you will sneak away later, let's go."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked ahead, Cui Shican was taken aback for a moment, and followed Wen Yu.The back of the person in front of him has not become much stable after several years of tempering and polishing, and it is still as thin as before. Cui Shican stared at him, his eyes were not bad, and the sunlight also outlined his outline with furry edges.

He had felt from a long time ago that Wen Yu would indeed shine sometimes, which was very attractive.

Lao Yu was waiting for them outside the classroom. It was almost lunch break, and the students were restless after the senior's speech.When Wen Yu and Cui Shican arrived, Yi Jingxing said dissatisfiedly, "Wow, you two actually sneaked away!"

"Just go around." Cui Shican answered first, "It's okay to wait."

They said goodbye to Lao Yu one by one, thinking that there was no other instruction, but when it was Shican's turn, Lao Yu suddenly asked: "Cui Shican, is your previous injury healed now?"

As soon as this remark came out, everyone except Wen Yu changed their faces, but Shi Can was very calm: "Good morning, thank you teacher."

Lao Yu: "I was worried about you at that time, but I didn't know how to ask. It's a good child to do something brave, but after finishing my work, I realized that I didn't praise you for this matter. I'm really sorry!"

Shi Can swore that he probably never thought in his life that he would hear Lao Yu apologize to him, but the incident was too long ago. At this moment, apart from embarrassment, other feelings were not strong.

He had no choice but to let Lao Yu pat himself on the shoulder: "It's okay, Teacher Yu, it's nothing important."

"Teacher." Xu Qingjia said next to him, "It's almost noon. I see you have something to do later. We also plan to go around the school, so we will leave first. I will come back to see you when I have time."

Lao Yu was obviously happy, and dragged Xu Qingjia to talk a lot before letting them go.

When the few people came, their footsteps were brisk, because before leaving, Lao Yu brought up the old matter again, and they left with a bit of dejection.Wen Yu looked around, and became even more certain that these people were hiding something from him.

So as soon as he got out of the teaching building, Wen Yu asked, "What is it to be brave?"

"It's nothing." Cui Shican said first.

"I didn't fucking ask you!" Wen Yu raised his voice and turned to Yi Jingxing, "What's going on? If you don't tell me, it must be a big deal, and you still have to keep it a secret for so long!"

Yi Jingxing stood loosely, and raised his eyelids when he heard the words: "You didn't come to school, who has the obligation to tell you?"

Wen Yu was furious: "Isn't there a reason for me? At that time..."

"Cui Shican himself wouldn't tell you." Yi Jingxing interrupted him, "It's his business, and no one has the right to speak out for him. Who knows what happened to you at that time, the inexplicable quarrel, Chen Qianxiang Advise you to reconcile, and then none of you pay attention to him! Did he say anything, everyone should focus on you?"

"You..." Wen Yu couldn't hold back his anger, and was suddenly pulled back by Shi Can with his arms around his shoulders.

His center of gravity was unsteady, and he fell backwards, his back hit Shi Can's chest, and stars appeared in front of his eyes. Before he could react, Cui Shican looked at Yi Jingxing and said, "If you are angry because of Chen Qian, don't Turn over old accounts, and don't slander Wen Yu."

What the hell?

Wen Yu was at a loss.

Ji Yue, who was on the sidelines, calmed down and said, "Okay, don't quarrel. The relationship was so good before, but now it's not worth breaking up. Say a few words to me, and I will fight anyone who makes trouble again."

In high school, Yi Jingxing had more or less experienced how powerful Sister Yue was, so Yi Jingxing smiled noncommittally, turned his back and walked in front, Xu Qingjia wanted to persuade him, and rushed to catch up.Ji Yue put her hips on her hips, and sighed at the two people who were still standing there. She hesitated to speak, and said "Hurry up", and also went after them.

"...Okay, let me go." Wen Yu broke the hand that was holding his shoulder, but Shi Can's grip was too tight, his whole body was tense, and he couldn't detect anything wrong, "What's wrong, Shi Can?"

Cui Shican belatedly let go.

Wen Yu didn't move: "Did you go to fight for justice at that time? Is it about Maizi?"

Shi Can nodded.

Wen Yu: "So you're still injured."

Hearing what he said, Shi Can suddenly felt a kind of secret joy. He was revengeful and knew how to deal with Wen Yu.He said to Wen Yu indifferently: "If you didn't leave at that time, you would know how long and deep the wound was. I couldn't raise my hand for a long time, and you wouldn't always think that I missed the appointment, right?"

Wen Yu was completely speechless, Cui Shican looked at him with a smile that was not a smile, and when the embarrassment between the two of them was about to emerge, he patted Wen Yu's arm: "It's okay, I won't blame you."

"...You will definitely blame me." Wen Yu said in a low voice.

Cui Shican heard this sentence, but he just pretended to be deaf: "What?"

Wen Yu: "I'm sorry."

It wasn't his fault, he said sorry.This was the second time Cui Shican heard this sentence in one day. He was a little funny, but also very sad. The two emotions played a game, and in the end, sadness still prevailed.

Objective facts cannot be changed, and the butterfly effect caused by a small incident cannot be blamed on any "others".

So he couldn't help but attribute this to himself being too fragile.

"Forget it." Cui Shican said, "I really just want to tell you that I didn't go on purpose, you have to forgive me. But by the time you call, it will be too late."

Wen Yu couldn't refute, the strange picture of them admitting their mistakes to each other was too funny.

Wen Yu looked at the three classmates who were about to become the size of sesame seeds: "...Then, shall we follow?"

"En." Cui Shican responded.

"You have to tell me this kind of thing again in the future." After Wen Yu finished speaking, he turned around and ran away.
