pointing to the stars

Recently, Li Yang and his new girlfriend got close, like they fell in love with each other.As soon as get out of class is over, he will rush out of the classroom door to find his girlfriend.I was always distracted in class, and the girl's name was written all over the notebook.

I won't interfere with what Li Yang wants, what he wants.But as a friend, I think we should remind him to work hard in his studies.However, I never had a chance to speak to him.

A week later, Li Yang suddenly invited me to have lunch with him, which made me feel puzzled.During this time, Li Yang stayed with his girlfriend, had lunch with his girlfriend, and went home together.Why did you think of asking me to have lunch today?

"Aren't you going to accompany your girlfriend?" I looked at him and asked.

"Yes." Li Yang replied, "Then... that Lan Lan wants me to take you to lunch."

"Don't you think it's strange?" I always felt that Li Yang was overwhelmed by love, why did the two bring me to lunch?Is it to sprinkle dog food in front of me?

And it turns out, I guessed right.

Although I don't know what Xue Lanlan is up to, but I am not stupid, and I can see that she is doing it on purpose.But I boasted that I didn't offend her, besides, these days Li Yang was always by her side, apart from occasionally bumping into each other at the school gate to say hello, I didn't have much interaction with her.

It is because of this that I think Xue Lanlan's behavior is very strange.I watched Xue Lanlan feed Li Yang expressionlessly, and then gave me a contemptuous look.As for Li Yang, that idiot was enjoying his meal, so he didn't see this detail at all.

After eating, I was about to get up when I heard Xue Lanlan say: "Tiansen, let's go to the canteen to buy food together later?"

I didn't want to agree, but I saw Li Yang secretly gesture to me.I sighed lightly and agreed.The moment I returned to the classroom, I felt relieved.

However, Xue Lanlan's behavior really made me a little concerned. I didn't show anything in front of Li Yang. It would be better to find someone to check Xue Lanlan's background after I get home.It's not my character to scare the snake away.

Thinking about it carefully, why should I care about these things that have nothing to do with me? If it was for Li Yang, I might have helped him in the past, but after what happened to Su Mu, I no longer care about him as much as before.He and I are like being connected by a thread. Since it has been broken, there must be a knot, and this knot will never disappear.

Perhaps it is because I have such a dark heart that I am not accepted by everyone.But now I am not rejected by everyone.In that remote village, there are friends who understand me.

I used to secretly rejoice that Ling Qiu was a lonely person, and I also lost my rationality and thought that it would be good if Ling Qiu could be alone forever.At that time, I was so frightened by such a terrible thought that my limbs became limp and I knelt on the ground, covering my face with my trembling hands. I don’t know how long it took to calm down...

If I hurt Ling Qiu because of myself, maybe I will never forgive myself in this life, right?

But for Li Yang, I don't have such strong emotions, maybe it was because of Su Mu at the beginning.But Li Yang is always my friend, I don't want to make trouble with him.At least in this school, he is the only one who can talk.

The setting sun sprinkled on the street, elongating the shadows of pedestrians.I walked behind Li Yang and Xue Lanlan with my schoolbag on my back, watching them talking and laughing, I always felt a little lonely inside.I tightened the belt of my schoolbag, looked down at the road under my feet, walking step by step.

Suddenly a pair of white-bottomed and blue-faced sneakers bumped into my sight, and before I had time to react, I bumped into them.

"I'm sorry." I looked up, and the face that caught my sight was so familiar, I thought I was hallucinating, until Ling Qiu called me: "Tiansen, we meet again."

"You...why are you here?" I looked at Ling Qiu and asked, holding back the excitement in my heart, and looked at him.

The smile on Ling Qiu's face disappeared, replaced by a sad face.When he looked at me hesitantly, I felt that things were not simple, but maybe I was thinking too much.

"Grandma said, let me study with you so that you won't be bullied." After speaking, Ling Qiu looked away uncomfortably, looking at his nervous appearance, making me feel like I was going to eat him .

I put my fist on my lips and laughed out loud, he looked at me puzzled, "Tiansen, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing." I replied, "Just stay at my house."

"That...you don't need it." Ling Qiu said, "I'm already planning to rent a house."

"The rent outside is a bit expensive, so why don't you come to my house." Seeing that Ling Qiu was still hesitating, I said, "And I have a lot of books at home, I can lend you all of them."

"Really...is that okay? But auntie and uncle..."

"I'll talk to my parents, and they're often not at home, so I'm still very lonely living alone." I looked at him and smiled.

"Alright then." Ling Qiu felt relieved and smiled at me.

"Ling Qiu, thank you."

"what?"

"Nothing, let's go home."

Ling Qiu, thank you for coming to my side and walking into my life...

postscript.

My high school life with Ling Qiu began.

So far, I have never understood what kind of feelings I have for Ling Qiu.

The days to come are still long, and I might be able to find the answer, that's what I told myself.

Life is full of unknowns to look forward to, isn't it?
