[Comprehensive] Cannon fodder, do you want to counterattack?

From Su Luo's first day of school, his life has become very busy.The schoolwork of high school students is already intense, and Longquan High School has added many other "sub-subjects" in addition to the standard courses. Most of these subjects have no strict requirements for grades, and no one even cares whether they go to class or not, but everyone knows , these extra courses, as well as various interest training classes and evening elective courses, are the real essence of Longquan High School.

Su Luo has a very full schedule. From Monday to Friday, he attends classes day and night without missing a period. Even the time between classes and a short break at noon is used by him to read books and do homework.After dinner, he spends more than half an hour tending to his bonsai and potted plants, and when he comes back from elective courses in the evening, he continues to do his homework and read books.

Except for the activities of interest classes on weekends, the school has nothing to do. Su Luo goes out to do tutoring during the day, and then goes to the city to choose some tree stumps and landscape stones for bonsai.

With his busy schedule, the communication with Leng Li and An Junzhe decreased significantly. Pei Minglu and Chen Yun rarely saw him once a week, and even if they did, they couldn't say much.

Still only Friday nights and afternoons are a little more leisurely.

Pei Minglu was holding a sketch in her hand, and she kept comparing it with the tree stump in Su Luo's hand. The more she looked at it, the more she felt incredible, and she said, "You said you want to make this tree stump like this?"

Su Luo said: "This is just a basic design drawing. After it is really cultivated, there will definitely be differences, but the general direction will not be wrong."

Pei Minglu exclaimed "Wow", and said, "It's amazing, you've done it, you must be the first to show it to me!"

Su Luo said: "I'm afraid it will take a long time."

"How long? One month?" Seeing Su Luo shaking her head amusedly, Pei Minglu blinked: "Could it be... a year?"

She thought she said a very loose number, but she didn't want Su Luo to still shake her head and said, "If it's fast, ten years will be enough."

"Ten years!" Pei Minglu said in disbelief, "You're going to spend ten years making this thing?" And it's still fast?

Su Luo didn't answer, took the kettle and poured water into the flowerpot, found a place to put it, and then started to pack the tools and clean up the garbage on the ground.

It seems unbelievable that it takes ten years to do one thing and complete one work, but in fact, for those who like bonsai, it is quite normal to spend 20 or even 30 years to raise a bonsai.

Pei Minglu was surprised and said, "That's all right? Didn't you say you want to make it look like the painting?"

Su Luo said: "You have to raise it for a year before you can start styling it."

Pei Minglu let out a disgruntled "Oh", a little bit lost in interest, obviously she didn't have any hope of seeing the finished product.In ten years, even if they can still meet by then, she probably has forgotten about it.

Holding his chin, he said: "Ah Luo, you are really good. You can make bonsai, draw beautifully, and you can understand the teacher's lecture..."

Su Luo shook his head and did not speak. The technique of making bonsai is actually not difficult, but the artistic conception is the difficulty, so the word "will" is really nothing. You can learn a lot by watching the video tutorials on the Internet.His paintings are also mediocre, not even the level of a "painter". Anyone who took the painting interest class in the first half of the year can draw like this. As for being able to understand the teacher's lectures, most of the students can What you did...what does this have to do with whether you are powerful or not?

But he was not interested in discussing this, so he got up to wash his hands, brought two cups of hot tea over, sat down and asked, "Sister Pei, do you want to consider repeating the grade?"

Pei Minglu let out an "ah", a little caught off guard by this topic: "repeat?"

"Senior Pei can't keep up with the teacher's progress, and she doesn't have the conditions to hire a tutor. She can't continue to understand like this. The teacher in our school lectures at a fast pace. Senior sister Pei only transferred here in her second year of high school. There was a gap in her knowledge, so she couldn't understand. Most of the new students in our school come from ordinary junior high schools. Sister Pei started to study with us from the first year of senior high school, and then only selected part of the minor subjects to study, and used the saved time on other subjects, so that we should be able to keep up. "

In fact, even if you don’t repeat a grade, if you try to listen even if you don’t understand, you will always learn something, and you can catch up with it slowly, but Pei Minglu obviously fell into a vicious circle. The gap between people is getting bigger and bigger.It's fine if she doesn't care about her grades, and it's good to enjoy her youth happily, but she does care, so she will feel inferior and feel sorry for herself.

"Repeat...is it okay?"

"Sister Pei is not a public student, so there is nothing wrong with it."

"But," Pei Minglu twisted her fingers and said, "My situation is different..."

The reason why she was able to go to school here was because she saved people. The person who claimed to be the housekeeper seemed gentle that day, but in fact he didn't see them in his eyes at all. It still hurts her heart deeply... If you want Do you have to go through that person again if you repeat a grade?Then the backbone and anger she showed that day, isn't it too ridiculous?

"It's just a trivial matter," Su Luo said, "If senior sister Pei has made up her mind, you can tell me, and I can accompany you to find the principal."

Pei Minglu looked confused: "I...I..."

She finally got used to the current situation, and the students got used to her presence. If she stays one more level, wouldn't it be another round of ridicule?

Seeing this, Su Luo shook his head slightly and said, "I'm just saying it casually. This is Senior Sister Pei's own business, so it's fine... If you need my help, just let me know."

"Oh, oh, good," Pei Minglu said with relief, "Yeah, I'm going to eat... Ah Luo, do you come with me?"

Su Luo shook his head and refused. On the one hand, he was still not used to the food in the cafeteria. Since there are better choices, why should he wrong himself?More importantly, it was obvious that Pei Minglu didn't really want him to go with her... In fact, he was the one she wanted to hide from now.

"Oh, forget it..." Pei Minglu waved her hand in "disappointment", and left downstairs.

Su Luo picked up the hot tea, bowed his head and took a sip, the study door was opened silently, Leng Li stood at the door and looked at him, saying: "Do you like her?"

This time it wasn't even considered eavesdropping, he listened aboveboard - knowing that Pei Minglu was coming up, he got up and went to the study.

Su Luo raised his head, and suddenly had the feeling of yesterday recurring. It was also Friday, this place, this door, and Pei Minglu had just left. It was the same sentence, but last time he asked Leng Li, this time it was Leng Li. he.

"Sister Pei is very nice..."

Leng Li interrupted coldly: "Even if she is a fairy, I am not interested."

Su Luo stopped talking, he intentionally increased Leng Li's favorability towards Pei Minglu, so that the girl's poor love would have something to rely on, but it was a pity that he was seen through as soon as he opened his mouth, so he had to shut up.

Leng Li said again: "Do you like her?"

Su Luo bowed his head to drink tea: "I like it."

The perfunctory and insincere answer made Leng Li heave a sigh of relief, but also got a little angry, and asked in a cold voice, "Why are you treating her so well?"

Su Luo said: "Because she is kind to me."

He was hospitalized for more than a month, and she visited him more times than Chen Yun. Even if she didn't provide any practical help, he couldn't help but appreciate it.

Leng Li sneered, walked to Su Luo's side, pulled out the chair and sat down, and said, "Do you know why she is nice to you?"

Without waiting for Su Luo to answer, he continued on his own: "Because everyone around her is stronger than her, in front of them, she appears to be useless. Only you are as different as her, and even worse than her." Be pitiful, she can only find her poor sense of existence and superiority in you by taking care of you."

"Then what about you?" Su Luo looked at Leng Li, and said lightly, "Why are you being so nice to her?"

Without waiting for Leng Li to open his mouth, he continued: "Because you are surrounded by hounds, everyone has their own clear goals, and they bury their heads in pursuit of their own goals...Because there are too many, so their pursuit, You are accustomed to their hard work and excellence, and you even turn a blind eye to them. However, at this moment, a lost little rabbit suddenly appeared among the hounds. The cute and reckless rabbit makes you feel very special, so you can't help but tease it a little?"

Looking at the young man who suddenly showed his sharpness, Leng Li was a little dazed, picked up the hot tea that Pei Minglu hadn't even touched, took a sip, and said, "I did do some superfluous things, but there is no such thing as teasing." ’, I’m not that bored.”

He said again: "It's rare for you to take the initiative to worry about others, but that girl doesn't seem to appreciate it?"

Seeing that Leng Li took the initiative to "cease fire", Su Luo naturally would not be reluctant, and said: "Of course she has to decide her own life."

So quiet down.

Leng Li buried his head and drank half of the hot tea in his hand, and said again: "I remember that every time she came, didn't you make juice, why did you change to black tea today?"

Su Luo said: "It's cold outside, black tea warms the stomach, the juice is too cold."

Leng Li said indifferently: "But others seem to be just as ungrateful?"

So Leng Li found the topic with great difficulty, and he chatted to death after only one back and forth.

-

Saturday and Sunday were another two busy days. At noon on Monday, when Su Luo returned to the villa after class, the three of them had just sat down at the dining table, when Pei Minglu rushed in like the wind, and her voice was heard earlier. It rushed into the eardrums of several people: "Alo, alo, alo, alo..."

Seeing the three of them turning their heads to look at her quietly, Pei Minglu, who rushed into the door, smiled awkwardly, stuck out her tongue, lowered her voice, and rushed to Su Luo's side without slowing down, pulling his arm, her face full of excitement: "Alo, I'm repeating a grade! I'm repeating a grade!"

Su Luo didn't quite understand her mood, why would someone who was struggling two days ago suddenly be so excited?Maybe he misunderstood, in fact, she is very willing to repeat the grade?

Pei Minglu didn't pay attention, or maybe she didn't care about Su Luo's reaction, and continued talking on her own, with an excited tone: "It's him, A Luo, it's him! After you told me about repeating the grade the other day, I I went to the grove and mentioned this incident... Then as soon as I entered the class this morning, the head teacher called me over and said that I was transferred to the first year of high school... It was like a dream! Ah Luo, did you see? He I heard my words once and fulfilled my wish! Ah, so happy... You don't know, Alo, I haven't heard from him for a long time, and I thought he wasn't there anymore, or I don’t want to talk to me anymore, so it’s not, it’s not...he’s still there, he’s always been here..."

Su Luo's arm was vigorously shaken by Pei Minglu, but unable to be infected by her joy, he turned to look at Leng Li.

Leng Li leaned on the back of the chair, looked at them expressionlessly, and met Su Luo's eyes, his lips were slightly touched, and there was no unnecessary reaction.

On the contrary, An Junzhe had a very expressive expression. He glanced at Su Luo who was frowning slightly, then at the nonchalant Leng Li, and then at the excited one who was totally unaware of the strange situation in front of him and was still immersed in his own world. Pei Minglu—forgive him for being stupid, I really don't know what's going on with these three people.

"Allo, we will be in the same grade from now on, and we will have classes in the same building every day! But it's a pity, I'm not in the same class as you," Pei Minglu seemed to be excited after a while. Feeling that Su Luo was left out in the cold, he turned the topic to him, shouting that it was a pity, but his tone still couldn't hide his joy: "Obviously I said it, it would be great if I were in the same class as you, but... I don't know Did he not hear clearly, or did he not want the two of us to be in the same class... Do you think he misunderstood us? In fact, we have nothing to do, right? I have always regarded you as my best friend! Next time I must Just make it clear to him..."

"When I was in the woods, I clearly said that I didn't think about it, but who knew that he directly helped me change the grade... It seems that he also agreed with me to repeat the grade. Ah Luo, you are so amazing, you have the same opinion as him, Let me introduce you to you later, okay..."

"..."

Pei Minglu was incoherent in excitement, saying the same thing over and over again, completely unaware that there were two "irrelevant" people beside them listening to their conversation.

Su Luo looked at Leng Li who seemed to have nothing to do with him, and compared with the happy tone of the girl beside him, anger gradually filled his heart.

No matter how wonderful a play is, it would be very boring if it keeps being replayed. An Junzhe looked at the food on the table helplessly, Su Luo coughed dryly, and interrupted: "Senior Pei, why don't you sit down and eat together?"

Pei Minglu was taken aback, blinked, and finally realized what stupid thing she had done, her face turned red immediately, and she stammered, "No, no, you can eat it!"

Run away as if to leave.

When Pei Minglu's back disappeared, Su Luo looked at Leng Li and said, "It's unnecessary for you to say it, why do you still have to do it?"

Leng Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you blaming me for her? I remember letting her repeat the grade. Is it your intention?"

Su Luo said: "As I said, this is her own business and should be decided by herself."

Leng Li said indifferently: "But Su Luo, not everyone is like you. They can always make their own choices and be responsible for their own choices, no matter whether the choice is right or wrong. Some people lack decisiveness. , There is no goal in life, such a person sometimes needs someone to push him."

Su Luo said: "You haven't even given her a chance to choose. How do you know that she can't make the right choice? Even if you want to help her make a decision, it should be after she has thought enough... You will only let her She is becoming less and less decisive, and she will only rely on others or resign herself to fate!" Just like now, once something happens, she will only go to the grove to pray, hoping that a certain "fairy Bodhisattva" will save her.

Leng Li sneered and said: "You gave her a chance to choose, and pointed out a way for her to get out of the predicament in front of her. What happened? Not only did she not appreciate it, but she blamed you for causing her to fall into conflict, and As for me, without her permission, I directly made the choice for her, but she was ecstatic."

Thinking of Pei Minglu's joy, Su Luo became even more angry, and said, "You clearly know why she is happy!"

Leng Li raised his eyebrows and said, "Is there a difference? She accepted it happily, and will study very hard. This is the truth."

"Dangdangdang!"

The two people who were facing each other turned their heads together and looked at An Junzhe who was knocking on the bowl with chopsticks. An Junzhe sighed and said, "I said you two, are you playing with lolita?"

Are all the lolis in the world dead?Two people must play one number!

Su Luo and Leng Li looked at each other and shut up together.

An Junzhe looked at Su Luo, and said, "This Thursday is Christmas. You have a holiday during the day and a party at night. You shouldn't have to go to tutoring that day, why don't we go out and have fun? How about a fishing picnic? I know a great place. "

In just 2 minutes, Su Luo had regained his composure, and said calmly, "No, I promised Senior Sister Pei to take her to buy a dress for the Christmas party. She has never participated in similar activities before."

An Junzhe said in surprise: "Why is her family finally willing to spend money on her this time? Didn't she say that her parents are extremely partial and that the family is extremely poor?"

Su Luo didn't speak, but An Junzhe found the answer from his "not speaking", and said in disbelief: "You don't mean to give her a set, do you?"

Su Luo gave a "hmm", but still didn't speak.

An Junzhe raised his forehead and said: "Ah Luo, if she is poor, you are rich? Don't forget that you still..."

"I still owe 400 million" temporarily changed the words: "...one year younger than her!"

Su Luo said: "I still have a few hundred thousand in my hand, and I am not short of money for the time being. Besides, my two-day tutoring fee is enough to buy a general-grade evening dress, so let's just treat it as if I had two days off. "

He didn't slap his face swollen to look fat, but felt that a dress was nothing, and Pei Minglu sighed in front of him for half an hour... After he offered to give her a dress, she first postponed, and then Cheering and jumping for half an hour, he was almost late for the evening elective class.

"Ha!" An Junzhe was speechless: "You are willing, but she stretched out this hand?"

For him, giving a girl a dress is a trivial matter, but Su Luo... a 16-year-old homeless child who owes huge debts, and besides studying hard every day, still wants to Doing everything possible to earn money and pay off debts, I was so busy that I didn't even have time to drink quietly, and the result... Damn, what is this?

Su Luo said: "Didn't you tell her that I'm rich? And we agreed, it's a loan."

He regretted mentioning this matter a bit, it was just a gift of clothes, An Junzhe's reaction was too exaggerated, it was nothing to them, right?

An Junzhe rolled his eyes looking up at the sky, and was too lazy to speak.Does she have no parents to buy clothes?Wouldn't she go by herself as a tutor?Su Luo's money is not difficult to come by, but can't the girl see how hard he worked?

Leng Li's face was uglier than him, he got up and went to the window and started to make a phone call, An Junzhe sighed, and said, "Shall we warm up the meal before eating?"

Su Luo said: "Whatever you want, I can't wait anyway. There are still 10 minutes until class." The time at noon is already short, and today's tossing is not to mention reading books in advance, and it's fine if you are not late .

He got up and poured the still hot soup into a bowl, and ate it with the rice.

Leng Li finished his phone call with a few words, returned to his seat and said, "Keep your money for yourself, I've already made arrangements, someone will dress her up and bring her to the school gate that day."

Su Luo put down his chopsticks, and said angrily: "It's arranging another grade, and another Christmas party... Leng Li, don't you know that this will only make her fall deeper and deeper? Is it fun to play with other people's feelings? Would you like it?" She, please don't do this kind of thing again!"

Leng Li raised his eyebrows, but was interrupted by An Junzhe before he could finish his sentence: "Ah Li! Don't be angry with A Luo!"

Turning to Su Luo again, he said, "Ah Luo, it's too much to play with feelings or something. If Ah Li really wanted to tease that girl, why didn't he go to that forest for more than a month to listen to that little girl's complaints? What about repeating a grade? What kind of dress, didn’t you all know it from your mouth? He just couldn’t see that you were so good to that girl, she didn’t appreciate it, and deliberately angered you..."

Su Luo said coldly: "So as long as you are unhappy, you can do whatever you want without considering other people's feelings at all, right?"

Because I am unhappy, so everything is reasonable?

Facing Su Luo's gaze, he turned away coldly and unnaturally, heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I'll go and explain it to her."

Head down to eat.

His attitude made Su Luo not know what to say, and he picked up chopsticks to eat without saying a word.

An Junzhe put his hands on Su Luo's shoulders, pulled him closer, and said with a smile, "Ah Luo, you are willing to quarrel with Ah Li. It's actually quite good...It's brothers who quarrel! How, what? Time to consider having a fight with me too?"

Su Luo ignored him.

An Junzhe said again: "Hey, now the Christmas arrangements are in vain. Picnic and fishing... Do you want to go?"

Su Luo kept lowering his head to eat his own food. Just when An Junzhe thought he would not get an answer, he heard Su Luo's calm voice: "Go."
