gentle fairy tale

Chapter 34 34

This autumn, Tao Rang often finds delicious small cakes, hot rice balls, yogurt, and endless toffee and instant noodles in the desk drawer.

Yu Mian would bring cakes and desserts, Xu Xiaoyan generously gave him yogurt and toffee, Liang Zhixing would beat 3 chicken drumsticks when cooking in the cafeteria, and send one to Tao Rang who was sitting in the corner eating bread; Bad, I wanted to hit him when I saw his stinky face, so I bought a whole box of instant noodles, and it was done at once.

He found himself powerless against their kindness.Even if he is still silent, silence is a kind of connivance... He became a member of this small group, even though he never spoke, and just walked in silence at the end, but...he knew that he had nothing to do with them.

Like a ray of light, it suddenly shone into his world.

Old Xiong has always hated vicious competition. He was surprised to find that the four with the best grades in the class became friends. This is a very good competitive atmosphere. He not only praised them, but also deliberately arranged the seats of the four of them together.

Only Xu Xiaoyan, who was at the end of the grade crane, was separated from them pitifully, and went to cry with the old bear.It's a pity that she still didn't succeed in crying, but she was so angry that she gave birth to the determination to study hard for the first time... Of course, the determination only lasted for three days.

When the final exam was approaching, the quartet dubbed 'F4' was still firmly in the top four, plus Xu Xiaoyan, who was an oil bottle, became famous throughout the grade.

In the past, there were still people who would ask Yu Mian for help and hand over love letters to Tao Rang, but gradually, fewer people came to her.Some people even said sour words behind their backs, saying that Xueba No. [-] and No. [-] are together, and they are secretly dating in the name of studying.

A small group composed of several girls said that Lao Xiong was eccentric every day. In the past, students with average grades in the class were invited to fall in love with their parents, but they turned a blind eye to good students.Speaking of... Yu Mian always refused to pass on love letters to them before, so she must have a crush on Tao Rang, but she was not familiar with him when she wanted to say something.The more they thought about it, the more unconvinced they became. Rumors spread wildly in the class, and eventually even Old Xiong knew about it.

Knowing this, Yu Mian was furious, and rushed directly to Lao Xiong's office: "Teacher, I don't have a puppy love!"

Old Xiong looked at her with a smile, his expression was gentle and loving: "It doesn't matter. Young children, it is a matter of having a vague affection for each other."

What's more, they are all such excellent children. Even if they walk closer, they still occupy the first and second positions all year round. As long as they are guided correctly, it doesn't matter at all.

Yu Mian was very helpless: "I really don't like him... Teacher, don't think too much."

Old Xiong nodded with a smile: "Okay, you go back first. The final exam is coming, don't be distracted."

Yu Mian walked out of the office full of depression, Xu Xiaoyan was waiting outside, and grabbed her: "Did the teacher scold you?"

Yu Mian shook her head: "No."

"Then why do you look so angry?"

"...Hey, forget it, I'll tell you later, I want to be quiet, I'll go for a run, Xiaoyan."

When Pei Songxi received the call from Lao Xiong, she was a little surprised—Yu Mian has always been an excellent and obedient student, so she didn't need to find her parents at all.

She took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and then pressed the connection: "Mr. Xiong, I'm Pei Songxi."

"Oh hello hello, it's like this..."

Outside the door, Ming Ran walked over with a document, but was stopped by Wei Yi: "Boss Pei is answering the phone."

"Whose phone? Her father's?"

"No, it sounds like a call from a school teacher."

Ming Ran glanced inside, the document in her hand was urgently needed to be signed, so she simply waited at the door, chatting with Wei Yi along the way: "How is Songxi doing recently, she seems to be in a good mood."

Wei Yi nodded: "The mood is relatively stable."

"……That's good."

Ming Ran has known Pei Songxi for many years, and also knows that she has been in a trough for a long time.She is a very strong person, but the way some people are strong is to go out, find others to talk to, and achieve success in the worldly sense.But Songxi is not such a character, she is a person who seeks answers inwardly, and has never been good at reconciling with herself.

Wei Yi hesitated and said: "A few years ago, I contacted the doctor and took medicine, and it's getting better in the past few years. Mr. Ming...do you know why Mr. Pei..."

She has been with Pei Songxi for several years, and it was Pei Songxi who gave her a hand when she was desperate, and she is what she is today.But she didn't know many things about Pei Songxi, and sometimes she was a little worried about her.

Ming Ran shook his head: "I can't tell you... Besides, it's useless to tell you. You know Songxi. She is a very lonely person. Her world is hidden behind endless mountains and rivers. There is no People can go in."

Wei Yi smiled: "Although what you said is very reasonable, I think what you said may not be right, Mr. Ming. Maybe there is a child hiding behind it."

Ming Ran was startled: "Huh?"

Wei Yi raised his eyes slightly, with a wanton and bright smile, leaning on the railing, his every move was charming.

"Perhaps what you said makes sense," Ming Ran nodded lightly, seeing her amorous appearance in his eyes, "What about you, Wei Yi?"

Wei Yi's eyes flickered subconsciously, and then quickly returned to normal. Taking advantage of no one approaching Ming Ran, he quietly lifted a strand of long hair from her sideburns, with an ambiguous attitude: "I'll wait for you tonight, I'll leave you The door... I'll go first."

Ming Ran's expression turned cold in an instant.

I also blame her for being confused... They are innocent friends with benefits, why did she get confused for a while and wanted to ask that question.

It's ridiculous.

"Bright burning?"

"...Oh, Songxi, I have a document for you to sign."

Ming Ran regained consciousness and handed her the document in his hand. Pei Songxi waved his hand: "I'm going to Mianmian's school, and her teacher called me. You can sign it for me, or come to me tomorrow. gone."

"What happened to Mianmian?"

Pei Songxi thought for a while, then showed a helpless smile, and said softly, "It seems to be a puppy love. This child."

She walked away quickly, looking a little anxious.

Ming Ran looked at her back, and remembered what Wei Yi said...behind the endless mountains and rivers, there might really be a child hidden.

After the school bell rang, Yu Mian left the classroom with her schoolbag on her back and saw Pei Songxi unexpectedly at the school gate. She waved goodbye to Xu Xiaoyan and ran over with a smile: "Aunt Pei? Why are you here?"

Pei Songxi waved to her, and reached out to take her schoolbag: "The exam next Monday?"

Yu Mian nodded, and repeated the question again: "You haven't answered me yet, why did you come to pick me up?"

Pei Songxi hugged her shoulders, walked out along the flow of people, and lowered his voice: "Let's talk about it later. Let's go eat first? Is there anything you really want to eat?"

"Are you going out to eat today?"

"Yeah, I haven't taken you out for dinner for a long time."

Yu Mian's eyes lit up: "Do you have time to accompany me today?"

Pei Songxi looked at her with a gentle expression: "Have I not been with you for a long time?"

"...Neither."

It's just that she is usually very busy with work, and Yu Mian dare not take up too much of her time.

Pei Songxi took her to a Southeast Asian restaurant and ordered Yu Mian's favorite curry beef brisket, spring rolls with fish sauce and lemon powder, and salt-baked prawns.

The fruit juice was sour and sweet, and Yu Mian liked it very much. She drank two big cups and asked her with a smile: "When are you free, can we come here for dinner again?"

"I'll be free these days after I'm busy. If you want to come, we'll come after you finish the exam."

"Ah, great!"

Yu Mian is very happy, she has a simple and happy personality, easy to satisfy.After returning home, she was also excited, sitting on the sofa, talking to Pei Songxi about things in class, saying that Xiaoyan had gained weight recently, that Liang Zhixing finally got full marks for pull-ups, and...that she was at the same table as Tao Rang, Always biting her score.

Pei Songxi paused when he heard the boy's name, thinking it was an opportunity to chat: "Mianmian, Teacher Xiong asked me to go to school today."

Yu Mian was startled, and blinked her eyes in doubt: "Why?"

Pei Songxi patted her on the shoulder reassuringly: "Just talk about you and Tao Rang, talk about you, you..."

"Aunt Pei!"

Yu Mian was angry and funny: "I didn't like him!"

Pei Songxi was still pondering over her words, Yu Mian said it outright first, and she followed her words: "Really not? Actually, you don't have to worry about me, you know my attitude."

Yu Mian shook her head vigorously: "I really don't. How could I like him? The girls in the class are so boring, talking about these things every day!"

Pei Songxi gently shook her hand: "Don't be angry. I didn't blame you either."

Yu Mian snorted angrily: "I don't like him!"

There was a smile in Pei Songxi's voice, and she asked her teasingly like she did in elementary school: "Then who do you like?"

Yu Mian said she didn't know: "Anyway, I don't like boys. Boys are stinky! I... I like beautiful sisters!"

Why do you like boys, girls are fragrant and soft, and you don't like stinky stones!

Pei Songxi laughed: "Nonsense."

However, in the past few years...the society has been putting the same-sex marriage bill on the policy agenda, and then it will start voting...in fact, it doesn't matter if you like girls.As long as you like it, you can like anyone.

But she didn't take Yu Mian's words seriously, teenage children speak too childishly.

Yu Mian tugged at the corner of her clothes a little emotionally, and twirled the prayer beads in her hand.Pei Songxi touched her hair: "Do you think Mr. Xiong misunderstood you, so you are very angry?"

"...Well, a little bit. They also said that it's because I have been secretly in love with Tao Rang, that's why I haven't helped. I'm too wronged!"

"Oh, then the students in your class are really boring. How can our Mianmian have the time and mood to do this kind of thing, right?"

Yu Mian nodded approvingly: "That's right! I don't have so much time to do these things, I really have time... I might as well stay at home."

Pei Songxi brushed her broken hair: "Why are you staying at home? You should hang out with your friends more."

Yu Mian stared at her, her eyes slightly dazed: "Oh."

Pei Songxi wanted to say something more, but the phone rang suddenly, and she stood up: "Mianmian, I'll answer the phone, you watch TV."

"Ok."

Yu Mian stared at her back in a daze, she remembered what Pei Songxi said about her attitude just now, and suddenly wanted to ask her...

What is your attitude... Are you pushing me to someone else?

How she wished that Aunt Pei would be angry, and even question why she fell in love early. She just hoped that she would care a little more about herself.

But Auntie Pei was never like this. She treated her close but not intimately. She was a family member who was also like a friend. She always respected her ideas and did not interfere with her decisions, so she felt a distance from her.

Pei Songxi opened the glass door of the balcony, and closed it behind her back after walking out, probably because she didn't want her to hear the content of the phone call.

Looking at her, Yu Mian could feel her aloofness.

Since she entered junior high school, her studies have become busier and she has more friends around her.Gradually, Aunt Pei spent much less time with her.She doesn't know why, maybe... maybe Aunt Pei also has her own life, right?

It is impossible for Aunt Pei to be with her all the time.

She already knew it, but she still felt lost.

Standing on the balcony, Pei Songxi heard Wei Yi say that the old gardener remembered something, and his tone became concentrated: "The old man said it himself?"

She turned her head to look at Yu Mian in the living room, her delicate brows slowly frowned: "You arrange a time, I'll go there in person. Just... cancel the meeting next Monday. Next Monday, during the winter vacation Before, I didn't want her to know."
