ninety-nine twelve

The winter vacation is just around the corner, and the whole school will be cleaning the campus on the last Friday before the holiday. Although the third grade will be delayed for another week before leaving school, the cleaning must still be carried out in the same way as the first and second grades. On a lucky Friday, we were exempted from evening self-study on that day. All classes in the school started to clean after the main class in the afternoon. Except for classrooms and corridors, almost all areas of the school were assigned to each class as a dry-work area. Teachers and students Collective mobilization, finish work early and go home early.

But what made some people unable to restrain themselves was that apart from the winter vacation and missing the last evening self-study, there was also the basketball match with the school team of the High School Attached to Normal University this afternoon after school.

After the cleaning arrangements were made last week, our school men’s basketball team sent a invitation to the High School Attached to Normal University, inviting them to play a formal game with us on Friday. The venue for the match was set at our school. The challenge was readily accepted.

The news of the game gradually spread in the school. This was the first official match between the basketball teams of the two schools. It was a matter of the face of the two schools. It became a hot topic of discussion between classes, and many people expressed their interest.The members of the basketball team cover three grades, so that the students of the three grades all pay attention to this matter together. In the past, they saw that their training was a competition within the team. This time, they finally have to face off against other school teams. Get excited.

Zhang Tianle and I had surprisingly the same reaction to this game this time. We are neither members of the basketball team, we play like that, and we are not very interested in watching the game. Take at least one runway before the basketball game starts.

When I was assigned to clean the flower bed area downstairs, I took the opportunity to go to the sports equipment room, went back and forth twice, and finally took the starting blocks and all the batons I could find to the playground.At this time, there were still many students on the playground cleaning in their respective contract areas. Everyone was familiar with Zhang Tianle's daily training. When they saw me come to "decorate" the field, they naturally and consciously vacated this area.I placed a baton about every ten meters on the track, calculating the number in my mind, and was about to occupy the adjacent track just in case, when the deity who was about to run came over.

Zhang Tianle put his arm on my shoulder and exclaimed: "Damn, Ayu, the tacit understanding between me and you is really amazing."

I shook my shoulders and threw his hand away, "I have a tacit understanding, when you come again, it's enough to get one. I don't see people coming one after another."

Some people wearing the uniforms of the High School Affiliated to Normal University have already appeared on the campus, standing in groups in the distance.One of the courts in the playground was already busy. A new net was hung on the basketball hoop, and the scoring table and electronic watch were also set up.The people who finished cleaning in our school, except for those who went home, basically gathered one after another, wandering around the court, waiting for the players to arrive and start the game.

I distractedly observed the people in the Middle School Attached to Normal University in the distance, Zhang Tianle asked me abruptly: "Have you finished cleaning?"

"Fuck, I forgot, my flower bed!" I threw the remaining baton to Zhang Tianle and ran back quickly.

By the time I finished cleaning and returned to the playground, the ball game had officially started.

How should I put it, in terms of the size of a basketball court and its surroundings, the scene in front of me is unprecedentedly crowded with people, and even the teaching building on one side is crowded with people watching.Our school uniforms were mixed with those of the High School Affiliated to Normal University, and it was impossible to tell which side had more people, and there was no home field advantage at all.

And Zhang Tianle is also a bit interesting here.

I occupied the two outermost tracks, farther away from the court in the field and less affected by the crowd of spectators.Now Zhang Tianle has put away all the batons in the middle of the track, leaving only the one at the finish line. Most of the students in this school know that he needs to train, so they leave two tracks for him, and try to make a detour when he encounters them. Although Zhang Tianle is wearing The top of the school uniform, but the spikes and training pants on the bottom of the body, the people in the high school attached to the Normal University probably didn't know what it meant, thinking it was some other powerful activity, but there were some people watching quietly from the sidelines.

On the other hand, Zhang Tianle was just doing Lajin to warm up all the time. I walked over with a suppressed smile and teased him, saying: "Your posture can really bluff people, and someone will watch the warm-up."

"Hey, you're finally done? Hurry up when you come, there are too many fucking people, hurry up and let's go eat."

When Zhang Tianle really started running, he looked this way more from time to time, but I don't know if it was because of the crowds and noise, he didn't seem to be in a very good condition today.

After running two sets, Zhang Tianle decided to adjust the training content. He did ten sets of straight speed back and forth. After he touched one end and turned back at a fixed point, there seemed to be a sudden mistake on the other side of the court, and the ball went out of bounds. With a little exclamation, Bouncing towards the side of the runway, Zhang Tianle ran at full speed and couldn't dodge it. He staggered and the ball rolled past his feet. I quickly reached out to help him, but was led by Zhang Tianle's inertia to dodge and fell a few steps towards the crowd, kneeling on one leg Falling down, he pushed his right hand to the ground, almost falling.

But fortunately, Zhang Tianle was fine. After standing still, he picked up the ball and threw it back on the field. He raised his head at them and said "it's all right".

I fell a little dazed, and Zhang Tianle pulled me up.What he was pulling was my arm on the ground. Before the elbow was about to slide down, he suddenly grabbed my wrist again and turned my palm over. A large smear of blood was rubbed on the plastic track.

Zhang Tianle let go of my hand suddenly, turned around and walked towards the basketball court.

I suddenly realized that I went up to stop him, "Tianle! Tianle, what are you doing!" I yelled at him in a low voice, and this man seemed to have gone crazy all of a sudden. He didn't move, his expression was gloomy, he didn't listen to me, and he didn't answer me.

We pulled a little harder, and I was about to hug him with my hands and feet. In the eyes of others, this scene may be more like two people who almost fell together just now, and suddenly had an argument and began to fight.

"Tianle, Zhang Tianle! What are you doing! Don't be impulsive, it's fine!"

But Zhang Tianle ignored me at all, and even started to push me away. Just when the game called a timeout on the other side of the court, he shouted: "The ball is under control..." I covered the rest of the words in time.

I restrained Zhang Tianle, and explained to the people around and on the field who heard the sound: "This person is crazy, don't worry about us, you continue to fight."

Zhang Tianle continued to argue with me, I really couldn't handle him, so I tried to tell him: "Don't worry about anything else, I'm in a lot of pain."

Unexpectedly, these words would have an effect, Zhang Tianle stopped, stopped going to the field, held my hand up to look again, scolded "fuck" in a low voice, and dragged me to the infirmary , leaving the crowd looking at each other in blank dismay.

Zhang Tianle was shut down, the door of the infirmary was closed, and the school doctor had already left work.Seeing that his expression was not good, I tried to ease the atmosphere: "I don't need to go to the school doctor. Actually, it's nothing serious. It doesn't hurt much, really." Maybe it's because of the cold weather, but I really don't feel much pain, more than pain. The feeling is cold, even Zhang Tianle discovered the wound first.

But Zhang Tianle still ignored what I said, and after saying "go home" with a sullen face, he left on his own. I called him from behind as if he couldn't hear him.

Zhang Tianle put away all the equipment, and I went to meet him with two schoolbags and asked him, "Aren't you going to practice today?"

"It's all like this, what a fart to practice!"

I raised my eyebrows and nodded, but I thought what was going on, looking at my scratched hands, I couldn't help laughing silently.

"People from both schools are here today, and it's a regular competition. If you go to conflict with someone over such a trivial matter, won't you be the one who suffers and loses face then?"

"Isn't there still you?"

"Yes, that's right, and me, but it's really normal for the ball to go out of bounds. It's not like you don't know, as for it."

Zhang Tianle stamped his feet, turned around and said to me angrily: "As for, of course as for, let me tell you, if it were me, even if the ball hit me, it would not be a problem, but if it hurts my brother I can't do it if I'm caught, I'm just as big as I am, every time I want to stand out for you, you stop me, are you fucking trying to piss me off?"

This person is getting angry now, I decided not to hit the gun, "That's fine, then let's go back and beat them up now."

"go!"

Sometimes Zhang Tianle is so naive and frighteningly naive, I grabbed the person who was about to go back without saying a word, and exclaimed: "No, I'm joking with you, you can't see it."

Zhang Tianle glared at me, shook off my hand, and turned back to the school gate angrily.

In the end, we didn't finish the run, and we didn't finish the meal. Zhang Tianle and I went to the pharmacy and went home directly, and ordered takeaways.Then Zhang Tianle showed me his professional techniques. When the wound was touched with iodine, I grinned in pain. He placed three band-aids neatly and side by side at the junction of my palm and wrist. I couldn’t bend my wrist or make a fist. I was speechless. He asked him eagerly: "If you suffer such a small injury, why are you making such a big fuss?"

"Me? I don't need it, I just wash it with water like this."

"Actually, I can just wash it with water."

"That won't work."

"Why not?"

Zhang Tianle seemed to be caught up in the question, and after thinking about it, he couldn't think of a reason, so he fooled me confidently: "Anyway, you just can't do it."

I stroked my hair, raised my eyebrows again and nodded, pretending to understand and said: "All right, all right, I can't."

Zhang Tianle was too lazy to go home and planned to spend the night with me.

I have a little trouble holding the pen, and more often I just read books absent-mindedly.After taking a shower, Zhang Tianle played with his mobile phone, playing games on the horizontal screen and chatting on WeChat in the vertical screen for a while, so he was very busy.

I frowned, feeling inexplicably agitated, the person next to me suddenly sighed, and I subconsciously asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhang Tianle lay down on the table and said weakly: "It's so annoying."

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Liang Shuyun has been chatting with me a lot lately."

"...Let's talk."

"I don't want to talk, you can help me talk to her." Zhang Tianle pushed the phone to me, I picked it up, opened the dialog box, and unconsciously scrolled up.

Zhang Tianle hastily held me down, "Hey, I didn't ask you to talk to me to read the records. At least I should respect the privacy of other girls."

I was embarrassed, the phone suddenly became hot, I didn't put it down, and it didn't matter if I continued to hold it. At this time, Liang Shuyun's new message came: Actually, I like Rocky, and Dou Sen is super handsome.

Zhang Tianle asked me to chat with her, but I really didn't know how to talk, so I had to play the role of a broadcaster and relay her news to Zhang Tianle, "She said she likes Rocky."

"Then you go back, haha, he's okay."

I typed resignedly, and in order not to appear too perfunctory, I arbitrarily added two grinning expressions at the end of the sentence.After the message was sent, I was just about to put down my phone and continue reading when I received a reply from Liang Shuyun: So have you read all the series?

I sighed a little, and continued to tell Zhang Tianle: "She asked if you have watched the whole series."

"You say, um, almost."

While I was typing, the second article on the opposite side was sent again: I want to read it again according to the timeline, and I haven’t read several of them, but I don’t have time now, and I want to wait until the summer vacation to finish it all at once. .

I read this too. After Zhang Tianle finished listening, he simply picked up the phone, deleted the reply I just typed, tapped the screen with two fingers, and muttered: "I come, I come, I Come."

About half an hour later, Zhang Tianle seemed to have finally dismissed everyone, turned his phone on the table, lay down and looked at me, exhausted like half-life.

"Are you bullying again?"

"How can it be."

I had an expression of "I believe you have a ghost", Zhang Tianle threw the phone over, and this time he let me see it openly, "If you don't believe me, you can see for yourself."

It's really not good to look at other people's chat records, but I can't help but want to know more.

Liang Shuyun's last message about Marvel heroes didn't get a response, and Zhang Tianle replied directly: Don't like me, study hard.

I didn't dare to continue to look down, Zhang Tianle saw that I hadn't moved, and came over to help me scroll down the record, "Look, I didn't say anything too much, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, kill the signs in the cradle , I did it for her own good."

Zhang Tianle was skating too fast, I couldn't see what Liang Shuyun said, but in fact, all I cared about was what Zhang Tianle said——

Don't think about these useless things, just concentrate on studying.

Nothing to be sad about, there are too many boys who are better than me.

You are so good.

It's not that I don't like you, it's just that I don't like you. Do you know what I mean?

I didn't want to be in a relationship in high school.

Sorry, but I think it's better to clarify earlier.

It's meaningless to say these now, don't think too much.

I quickly read one by one, my heart was noisy, I couldn't grasp the point for a while, but I asked calmly, "How do you know that people like you?"

Zhang Tianle asked me suspiciously: "Didn't you tell me that she liked me?"

"Ok?"

"A long time ago, didn't you predict that she liked me."

"what……"

"Anyway, she really likes me, what's the matter." Zhang Tianle looked proud.

"That's enough, you're dead from narcissism." I quietly rolled my eyes, making an unbearable expression.

Zhang Tianle complained dissatisfied: "Ayu, why have you been so mean to me recently?"

I was taken aback, mean, isn't it.

In the recent period of time, joy and depression, revealing and hiding, wantonness and depression, everything is abnormal, everything is contradictory, I spent a lot of effort to reconcile with myself, I thought I was doing okay, But it still made Zhang Tianle feel mean.For the first time, I hope that my temper, my character, and my behavior can follow the rules. When I was a child, I was always asked by adults what kind of person I want to be in the future. I want to be a contented person.

After a while, I suddenly called him: "Tianle."

"Ok?"

"I want to ask you something."

"what?"

I looked at him solemnly, I didn’t even think about it, and I couldn’t think of what I wanted to ask, but when people are in certain moments, their thoughts are always out of control, and they regret when they speak. I hope someone will save me , but no one, I can only save myself, rein in the precipice, suppress the impulse, "...it's nothing."

No one can save me but myself.At this age, the youthful arrogance often makes me dissatisfied, and I want to covet it without paying attention, but if you ask me what I want, I will say, I don’t want anything.

In normal times, Zhang Tianle's appetite would be most aroused by me being hesitant to speak. He would definitely break the casserole and ask the end, but this time he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he was silent for a while and said to me: "I also have something to ask you .”

My heart started to beat the drum again, and I replied in a steady voice: "You say."

"you……"

Just when I thought he couldn't ask any more questions, Zhang Tianle still said: "Now, do you have someone you like?"

I froze, feeling dizzy for a moment.This question stopped me. I knew what kind of answer was the most appropriate, but my mind was at war with heaven and man, and my mouth seemed to be chasing me, so I insisted on taking a risk.

"Yes."

"Who is it?" Zhang Tianle stared at me with just the right amount of curiosity, his eyes were bright and open, and he couldn't see anything else.

This is really a dangerous topic. This smart person must have guessed something.

There should be a reason for any emotion, no matter whether the reason is deliberately hidden or unintentionally ignored, it always exists objectively, but I am the only one who came to Zhang Tianle inexplicably and without trace, when I realized When it was, it had been around for a long time.

I suddenly calmed down, and the breath that was stuck in my heart was gone. I also looked at Zhang Tianle openly, and didn't want to judge his thoughts any more.

I know how to answer to perfectly avoid the danger, but I want to walk the tightrope. Since Zhang Tianle wants to know, then I just tell him——

"you."

The author has something to say: Come, come, Lele, he likes you! ! !
