Chapter 52

Years later, Lugao has taken on a new lease of life. Taking advantage of the student winter vacation, he worked overtime to accomplish two important things: First, he kicked off the canteen contractor who had no chicken in the past and replaced it with a new restaurant. The company also adjusted the interior decoration, raising the retro style comparable to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the liberation era to a higher level, which is very foreign; the second is to install vertical air conditioners in all the classrooms of the third grade, which are white, shiny and spotless. , The remote control is placed in the hands of the class teacher as a treasure, and the switch is unified to unify the temperature, and which class is damaged will be compensated.

Lu Gao did a good job of keeping secrets, and did not reveal any news, which shocked the senior high school students who were slandered and cursed because of the early start of school.

On the first day of the report, there was a unified class meeting. The old class looked down from the podium for a week, and the first sentence aroused public outrage: Yo, why are you getting fat?

It is inevitable that Zhong Qi and Zhou Yiqing developed a little horizontally. It is said that the two of them went to Hainan to avoid the cold as soon as the New Year’s Eve was over and received the New Year’s money. Putting down two photos of the beach, hiding merit and fame, and being so affectionate, Xu Ming, who was away from relatives during the winter vacation, was banned for two days for no reason;

Lu Qingyuan's slightly swollen lines are more understandable. He used to engage in sports recruitment, and there were regular and quantitative training tasks. It's a bit inappropriate to stick a little fat.Recently, it happened to be the registration period for the provincial physical examination. The Ministry of Education set the examination date at the beginning of March. Everyone knew that Lu Qingyuan had no chance, so he sighed and turned his grief into appetite.Recently, the top three entries in his Baidu search history are as follows: Is it too late to work hard in the second semester of the third year of high school?How to study cultural lessons for physical education students who fail the exam?And, Qingyi II is an educational institution with a relatively high repetition rate.

Su Qi was an exception. Not only was he not fat, but he also looked off-scale. Once his expression was focused, he seemed to have swept his profile, and his facial features appeared to be more profound than before.Only Zhou Yiqing knew that she was troubled by the double confrontation between schoolwork and life, her father's entanglement in refusing to divorce, and her family's current financial difficulties. Can't cut it off.When Lu Qingyuan was at the same table as her, he had twists and turns in his mind, begging Bai Lai to send Zhong Qi on WeChat, entrusting him to quietly ask Zhou Yiqing what was going on, and he had to reply: Don't worry about it, you man, she can't be willing to tell these things you.

Lu Qingyuan was almost like an adult, he learned from the pain, thought about it, and he hesitated and asked: Well, what should I do better?

Zhou Yiqing pondered for a while, and came up with a self-proclaimed deep and level sentence: study hard and work hard, so that she doesn't have to continue to repay your emotional debt, it should be better.In fact, there was a big truth in my heart, and I didn't have the nerve to say it to Lu Qingyuan: Don't you understand?Just do your best to make Li Yuan dangle in front of her eyes. Your goddess is a sunflower wilting in the wind and rain, and your brother Li Yuan is the little sun he longs for.

It's a pity that Li Yuan left for Linan the night before the start of her third year of high school to refer to Li Dabao's initial exam.

Li Yuan was on the high-speed train in the evening of the seventh day of the lunar new year. It just so happened that Qingyi had stopped snowing intermittently for a week, but as the saying goes, snow doesn’t turn cold when it snows. The Wunan River is also almost stagnant.Linan's geographical location is in the east of China, the water is still and the wind is still, and it is not humid. I live at Li Xiaoxing's place, and I can almost walk with a schoolbag and two arms.

Grandma Xiaoman returned to Qingyi as scheduled, bringing back the smell of fireworks and popularity of the Peng family’s small rented house, bringing back the details of Peng Xiaoman’s life that only she can meticulously get close to, even Li Yuan can’t touch. , and also brought back Peng Xiaoman to be his descendants, so it was inevitable that some would be coquettish and cowardly.Even carrying it also made him sticky, mother-in-law and mother-in-law, and he was only a week away from Li Yuan, and Peng Xiaoman felt a little bit reluctant to part with it.It's like sending your son to college.WTF.

Knowing that Li Yuan was going to Linan, Grandma Xiao Man never expected it.She originally thought that Li Yuan was just a tall and handsome little boy who was good at studies, so she didn't know that he could still apply for the exam.She thought it was all from TV dramas.In order to show her reward as an elder, and to let Peng Xiaoman understand what "other people's children" are, the night before Li Yuan left, Grandma Xiaoman cooked a pot of mutton soup with scallions and scallions to dispel the cold and dampness.Li Yuan had just returned from the hospital, before she had time to see Nunu, she was blocked by Peng Xiaoman and dragged home.

After entering the door, put down the schoolbag and focus on it. A very old-fashioned copper hot pot is bubbling in the center of the dining table, and the room is full of fragrance.

"Is this my uncle too?" Li Yuan pointed to the copper pot, and stretched her hand into Peng Xiaoman's collar to keep warm.

"No, no, my grandma bought this to cook hot pot last year." Peng Xiaoman was terrified by the ice, struggling and twisting: "You can just call me brother, don't be too polite."

"Bite you to death." Li Yuan pinched him and kissed his face while no one was around.

Grandma Xiaoman is a person who has lost her offensive power due to the passage of time. She has no obsessive edges and corners around her body.Especially for Peng Xiaoman and the people around Peng Xiaoman.When Li Yuan ate at the table with her, he would always feel an incomparably miraculous sense of security, having his head gently touched by the vernal equinox.Make a metaphor of being kicked away by Peng Xiaoman, especially like a son-in-law visiting her natal home for dinner. The mother-in-law will keep nagging about her daughter's bad and annoying things, and then give the son-in-law a full chopsticks, saying that she was young when she was young. Don't be offended by this stinky problem, bear with it.Li Yuan thought about it, couldn't help laughing, choked on the mutton soup, and coughed muffledly through her mouth.

"My mother, drink some mutton soup for you to succeed." Peng Xiaoman was fighting with his elastic muscles, and when he heard his boyfriend coughing, he put down the meat and slapped two palms. on his back.It's almost impossible to slap Li Yuan in the bowl.

Grandma Xiaoman swallowed the soup, went up and knocked on the back of Peng Xiaoman's hand with a chopstick: "You want to shoot someone dead, don't you?"

"Ah!" Peng Xiaoman withdrew his hand and shook it straight: "He doesn't hurt, okay?!"

"Come on, let me try to pat you, and I can see how painful you are? You've been beaten up and vomited blood even if you're fine! What's the matter with you, a kid, who always strikes so hard?" He said while picking meat into his bowl.

Peng Xiaoman raised his eyebrows and rolled his eyes, put on an "OK, I'm fine" fanciful look, and turned to Li Yuan: "Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Barely suppressing her cough, Li Yuan shook her head.

"Take a look and take a look."

Li Yuan stalked behind her: "I'm just used to being beaten by him."

"Hey, my god, what's wrong with you?" Lao Yin was playing tricks.

"Grandma, I'm going to get some food." Li Yuan stood up and wanted to slip away.

"Come on, if you don't go around halfway, Xiaoman go." Grandma Xiaoman took the small porcelain bowl in Li Yuan's hand, stuffed it into Peng Xiaoman's hand, and pushed him up, "The host has no eyesight, go to the kitchen and give it to him." Sheng, by the way, unplug the rice cooker."

Peng Xiaoman was unwilling to put on a show of selfishness, and when he walked behind, he even gave Li Yuan a fuck.Li Yuan was quite afraid that he would poison the food.

"Can he usually bully you?" He picked up another piece of sweet and sour ribs and passed it into Li Yuan's bowl.

Half and half.There is no way to tell the truth, Li Yuan shook her head: "No, he is usually quite righteous."

"I think you are very kind to him." Grandma Xiaoman said that she passed the chopsticks from her right hand to her left hand, put them down again, and said, "It feels like you have always taken special care of him at school, right? I wanted to thank you very much before, Mr. I have no chance, and I don’t know how to speak.”

A sudden thought that was extremely bloody and stupid.Li Yuan almost blurted out and said, then please hand him over to me.

I gritted my teeth and endured it, sobered up for a while, and didn't say anything.

"I really thought that he would not be able to take the blow some time ago, but it turned out..." A long sigh, more helpless than sad: "He really pretends to be strong and weird, and it always makes people think he is heartless Like missing a string, but he's not, is he?"

Li Yuan nodded, agreeing.

"I really didn't expect him to be as good as you, to be healthy, happy and smiling. His dad and I are enough." Grandma Xiaoman smiled almost emotionally, and said, "I didn't make any more fun with him. One and the same. Knowing you, I think he is lucky, right?"

Li Yuan never felt that way, and even thought that this should be said in reverse.

"Hey, Xiaoyuan, did you notice?" Grandma Xiaoman smiled and pointed to the small courtyard: "He talks a lot more bullshit than when he first came to school?"

Li Yuan pondered for a while, thinking that the memory of Peng Xiaoman in his mind started from the day when he fulfilled his duties and asked him to go to the Academic Affairs Office to pick up the book, and he turned around and whispered thank you.Thinking about it, Li Yuan herself felt dizzy with her forehead, not sure where he had changed, not sure what she liked about him specifically, walking for nearly a year, passing horses between the sun and the moon, the road was wide and narrow at times, Just when she turned her head, she found that Peng Xiaoman was suddenly so close to him, so close that she could hold him in her arms, making them inseparable in various senses.Quite sour, but sweet enough.

Grandma Xiaoman felt that she had presbyopia and she might have misunderstood the meaning of the person involved. She read an extremely mature tenderness on Li Yuan's face, which quickly agglomerated and then quickly dissipated.

Li Yuan pouted her nose, glanced at the small courtyard, and smiled: "It's a lot of nonsense."

But you don't know how much I like it.

The voice-activated light bulb at the stairs of Li Yuan's house deflated in due course. Li Yuan held Peng Xiaoman's face and kissed him so that he backed up step by step, bumped into the wall, and fell into ashes in shock.Peng Xiaoman felt that the person in front of him was in a state where he didn't know how to get close to him, he was a little crazy, and he didn't know what medicine he had taken wrongly.If you respond, you will soon be suppressed even more.After tossing and turning a few times, Peng Xiaoman's mouth hurt so much, he gave up the primary and secondary dispute, and changed to the gentle way of gentle wind and light rain, put the wristband on, and stroked his hair and back like running water.

There was a rattling of the door lock upstairs, and Li Yuan let go of Peng Xiaoman's mouth, and kissed his head until she leaned on his shoulder, panting.

"Heavenly and earthly, you passed the exam, you are all right." Peng Xiaoman hugged him, and suddenly said something.

"My God." Li Yuan was speechless with a dangerous smile, "Why don't you become a joker?"

"Busy with studies." Peng Xiaoman licked the corner of his mouth, licking a fishy smell, and said, "Dog? You kissed my mouth to death."

"Let me see." Li Yuan looked up.

Peng Xiaoman didn't let him see, and leaned over to kiss him again, it was a gentle kiss without sticking out his tongue.With a last sip, Peng Xiaoman said, "Come on, take the test, you're sure to do it."

"Can't I?"

"That means that the gap between us is not that big, I have to have fun secretly." He hooked his chin in a frivolous manner, "You are still a good boy I like to die, don't you worry?"

At the beginning of the month, the sun was hidden in the clouds, and Qiyuan opened a pre-examination tutoring class for comprehensive university art exams with a fee of [-] yuan.You Kaifeng practiced "Tsing Yi" again in front of Qiyuan's clear floor-to-ceiling mirror, and came up with a solo improvisation for half a minute. Physiological disgust and fatigue.He sat down on the ground with one buttocks, leaned on the floor, and closed his eyelids with his forearms.To tell the truth, he was quite scared, quite afraid that before he even took a step forward, clinging to the road ahead was nothing but a conspiracy, he felt backache and waist ache.The money was given, but not a penny was lost. Marco failed to issue a receipt, but only gave a meaningful OK gesture, and said with a smile: Some people are worth what they spend, and some people are not worth it. I am not worth it at all. I won't mention it.

Whether it's worth it or not can be judged based on his current few words?You Kaifeng didn't believe it, and felt that what he said in his heart should be: Some people can afford the money and some people can't, and I won't mention it at all if I can't.

You Kaifeng suddenly felt a strong regret after the incident, like water boiling slightly, making him wish he could get up immediately, rush into Marco's office, grab his collar and shout, "Wait until I think about it, you pay back the money first."Not for any, just because of him.Before managing this money, the art test is self-responsible for profit and loss. After handing over the money, it becomes a business with parents. It is like getting a loan shark in advance. It is not only subject to control, but also from now on, you must always be vigilant about the balance of income and expenditure. .If you make something you like like this, it will be difficult for you, it is unnecessary, and you owe it!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh." You Kaifeng rolled on the spot, howling slightly echoed, and sighed with his head in his arms: "It really hurts..."

The phone vibrated, and a QQ message came. You Kaifeng opened his eyelids and looked at the news of Xu Ming. When he clicked on it, he saw a picture with poor clarity.

The picture that almost made him cry out.

You Kaifeng quickly poked the screen and replied:? ? ?

Xu Ming replied quickly: Post it, anonymously.I think you know, that's why I came here to ask you if you know who it is.

You Kaifeng: No? !Post it? ?Who the hell? ? ?

Continued Ming: They all said they were anonymous.

You Kaifeng: And then and then and then?Let me talk to you!

Continuing Ming: No, class starts now.Then I sent a message to the anonymous host asking if he could delete it, but he didn't reply me.

"I'm 'fucking' who the hell is pushing so many things!" You Kaifeng jumped up from the ground and cursed loudly.

You Kaifeng: Did Peng Xiaoman see it?

Xu Ming: No, the post has just been posted, and the number of viewers is still very small. Students in the morning class do not have mobile phones, so it is not certain that they will go home at noon.

You Kaifeng: The point is not that the students see it, but the teacher sees it, okay!Lao Ban saw that it didn't blow up? !

Continued Ming: Do you want to show it to Peng Xiaoman?

You Kaifeng replaced the inability to state with a full stop.

Continued Ming: I think the person concerned should know, rather than wait until someone adds oil and vinegar to pass it on to him.Also, are they real?

You Kaifeng paused for a long time before returning, I can't tell you this for now.

Continued Ming: OK, I understand.

You Kaifeng patted his butt and ran out of the practice room, asking Marco to ask for leave to go back to school.

Peng Xiaoman really liked the days when Li Yuan was not around for a while, he no longer had to hold back his bladder sorely and had to beg for something, only to be let out of his seat by the emperor and rush to the toilet.Leaning on the table and squinting for a while without being poked awake by him, talking about key questions, keeping your eyes wide open to take notes, buying a bottle of carbonated drink and not being taken away by him and thrown into the wastebasket, being disgusted by the arithmetic sequence, all appetites are dragged away by him Go to the cafeteria to eat.In contrast, there are a few days missing for copying notes, a few days for Mr. Li's after-school cooking, a few days for a bicycle driver, and a few days for a handsome guy to watch.

Peng Xiaoman often takes a nap with his head buried in his eyes, peeping with his eyes slightly open.

Li Yuan will always be very shrewd to find out that she will laugh, cover her warm palm, turn the other person's day into night, and say: sleep quickly.

Peng Xiaoman raised his chin with his hand, carefully circled the known conditions on the internal information, and sighed with his fingers pressed against his eyebrows.

"Peng Xiaoman." Xu Ming crossed the table and chair and took the seat vacated by Li Yuan, and touched his right shoulder: "Look at this."

"Huh?" Peng Xiaoman put down his pen, looked down at the mobile phone that was quietly handed under Xu Ming's desk, and was stunned after a glance, as if facing a face-to-face attack.

The two, who have a difference in altitude, hugged with an unknown theme under the shade of trees on Mingxi Road, captured from a paradoxical angle.In fact, it can be interpreted in any way, but because the gap is too close, it makes people feel that it tends to convey a kind of intimacy and ambiguity.Peng Xiaoman finds it sweet, because he is the one in the photo, and he is hugging Li Yuan; other people can't taste the sweetness, they just feel "fucking crazy", because the two men are clearly hugging each other.
