pointing to the stars

After the lesson from last time, Li Yang's way of pursuing Su Mu was much more low-key.Su Mu's friends ordered Li Yang to run errands at will, but seeing Li Yang enjoying himself, I didn't interfere any more.

Since it was Li Yang's decision, as a friend, he should support him.It's just that Su Mu's attitude towards me is a little strange recently.

In front of my classmates, speaking to me with a smile on my face, it is invisible to plan me as a villain who has a bad attitude towards her.Although Li Yang tried to smooth things over for me, I stopped him.

If Li Yang really likes Su Mu, then he shouldn't care about this matter.Otherwise, it will only leave a bad impression on Su Mu.Seeing that he still seems to care about me, I am already content.

After school in the afternoon, Li Yang and I did the cleaning.

Li Yang found a topic to chat with me, and I tried my best to answer.I don't want to embarrass my relationship with Li Yang because of Su Mu.

I packed up the trash bags and walked towards the trash bin downstairs, but was blocked by three boys in the corridor.I glanced at them, and they were all related to Su Mu.

"It's in the way, get out of the way." I looked at the three of them.

"I heard that you bullied my sister in the classroom? Boy, are you really brave?" Huang Mao said.

"Go away." I stood on the stairs, looking down at the three clowns standing on the corridor looking up at me.

After throwing away the trash, Li Yang and I locked the classroom door and left the school together.Li Yang frowned looking at the three boys lying on their stomachs in the corridor, and without asking any further questions, he pulled me around the three of them and walked downstairs.

During these days, Su Mu tried to make trouble for me, and I ignored her boring behavior.But I also became an isolated object in class. Even so, for me, it was no different from usual.

Soon it was time for the mock exam. While Su Mu was teaching the students to do the questions every day, he would also speak unnutritious acid words to me.After thinking about it for a long time, I finally found a word that can properly describe her, and that is - scheming bitch.

After a week, the results of the mock test came down.Su Mu's grades changed from the third in the grade to the fifth in the grade. This is probably the retribution of always wanting to fight against me and neglecting his studies.

I have never taken a mock exam, so the teacher is not sure about the knowledge I have, so I want Su Mu to teach me.But for many reasons, I had already finished high school.

The first grade in this mock exam is me.

Seeing Su Mu's ugly face, I didn't pay much attention to it.Because of Su Mu's teaching, Li Yang's grades have improved a few places, but he is still behind in the class.

During the 10 minutes between classes, Li Yang went to care about Su Mu, but was scolded by Su Mu and slipped back in despair, lying on the desk.I don't know what Li Yang is thinking, but he should not be in a good mood.

I began to feel that a crack had gradually formed between me and Li Yang.If it is not filled in time, the crack may become bigger and bigger, but I always hope that it will heal itself.

Until one day after school, Li Yang told me that he could no longer be friends with me.Only then did I gradually understand that when it comes to things like feelings, you must never take chances.

"I'll wait for you." This was my answer.Maybe a little naive, maybe a little pretending to be pitiful, but those are my most sincere feelings.

The next day, I went back to my grandmother's house under the pretext of being sick.I can't face the fact of losing my friend, but it's the most correct choice for Li Yang.

On the ridges of the fields in the countryside, children run and play around, the green rice fields are growing vigorously, and the noisy cicadas echo in the mountains and forests.

I took a deep breath and let it out slowly.The irritable mood seemed to be suppressed by the greenery in front of him, and there was an indescribable relief.

When I arrived at the gate of my grandmother's house, the local dog on a chain barked at me again, but I looked up but froze in place.Under the eaves, Ling Qiu was stringing dried corn seeds.

I opened my lips slightly and wanted to call him, but I was choking and unable to make a sound.I could even hear my heart pounding in my ears. I didn't know whether my feelings for Ling Qiu were anger or joy.

At this moment, Ling Qiu saw me.He waved his hand vigorously at me, and smiled happily, showing the little canine teeth between the corners of his mouth.

Perhaps, at that time, he really couldn't come because of something?

Ling Qiu got up and walked in front of me, looking at me: "Tiansen, welcome back."

Although it was a bland sentence, it made me want to cry a little.

"You, why weren't you there at that time..." I turned my head and looked at the laundry table in the yard.

"I originally wanted to prepare a gift for you, but it took too much time." Ling Qiu scratched his head, a little embarrassed: "Didn't you never see bamboo shoot insects? I searched all over the bamboo forest for a few days and didn't see them.

I finally caught one and wanted to give it to you, but my mother-in-law said that you had already gone to the station, and when I ran to the station to look for you, the car had already left. "

"Yeah." I tightened my schoolbag strap with both hands, feeling a little happy in my heart.

"Let's go." He took my hand.

"Where are you going?" I asked him.

"You'll know if you come with me, but you may be a little disappointed if you stay for a while." He pulled me to the wooden table and stopped, then staggered away.I look at the skewers of dried corn kernels on the table.

"What is this?" I turned my head to look at him.

He smiled and helped me unload the schoolbag on my back, looked at me and explained: "It's a game called 'grabbing'."

"What's that?" I asked.

"Look." He put away his schoolbag, walked to the table and held a few bunches of corn in his palm. His fingers were long and slender, with well-defined joints and beautiful fingernails.

I saw him throw corn skewers into the air, then turn over his hand to catch it with the back of his hand, then throw it into the air again, and raise his hand to catch it again.

"Probably so." He stretched out his hand and handed the corn skewer in front of me: "Tiansen also come to try?"

"Okay." I took the corn skewers from Ling Qiu's hand, and the corn skewers carried his warmth.

I tightened my grip on the corn skewers, then threw them into the air, and caught them with the back of my hand, but the throw was too high, and none of them caught, and they all fell on the table.

"Tiansen, try with a bunch first."

"Yeah." This time, I succeeded.Later, I added a few more strings, and I could barely catch them, but I still couldn't catch them all.

After greeting grandma, Ling Qiu asked grandma for sewing thread, and then took me out of the yard.I followed behind him and looked at his back, as if I didn't feel so lonely anymore.

Ling Qiu told me to catch dragonflies.This surprised me a little, dragonflies fly so fast, can they really be caught?

Then I found a plant commonly known as 'iron broom' in the local area. This plant is fan-shaped and has many branches on it, some of which are like plants used as brooms.

"Use this?" I looked at the 'iron broom' in my hand and asked.

"Yes." Ling Qiu nodded: "Let's go to the hillside, where the dragonflies are the most."

"Okay." On the way out, Ling Qiu asked me to change into a pair of trousers and shoes, so that I would not be afraid of mosquito bites and slippery roads.

I don't know why I did such a naive thing with Ling Qiu, but it seems that I want to take this opportunity to get further away from his world and get to know him better.

Ling Qiu took me up the mountain. The mountain here is neither too high nor too steep. In addition, the weather is fine these days, so the road is not difficult to walk.There are many loquat trees planted on the hillside, but I don’t know if there is no one to take care of them. Most of the loquat leaves are bitten by insects.

Going further up, you can see all kinds of vegetables planted in the fields, such as peanuts, eggplants, and cowpeas.Because I spent a lot of time at my grandmother's house when I was a child, I know a lot of vegetables.

After walking for about 10 minutes, we reached the top of the mountain.There is green grass growing on the top of the mountain, and many dragonflies are flying back and forth in the grass.

"Tiansen, watch, I'll show you how to catch it."

"Ah."

I watched him bow his body, approaching the dragonfly parked on the grass quietly, and the 'iron broom' was also raised above his head. When he was about two or three steps away from the dragonfly, he suddenly pointed the 'iron broom' in his hand towards the dragonfly. Slap it away, press the dragonfly in the grass, bend down and grab the four thin wings of the dragonfly.

Ling Qiu walked up to me, threw the iron broom on the ground casually, took out a sewing thread and tied it to the dragonfly's head, then let go of the dragonfly's wings, and saw the dragonfly flying farther and farther, but was restrained by the sewing thread Live freely, like the local dog on a leash at my grandmother's house.

But this kind of 'kite' is not annoying, but it reminds me of the vague memories of my childhood. Before my cousin went out to work, he would take me to the mountains to play.

"Tiansen, you can try it too." Ling Qiu wrapped the sewing thread around the stone and fixed it, then picked up the 'iron broom' and looked at me.

"Yeah." I nodded, imitating Ling Qiu's movements to catch dragonflies. Maybe I was lucky. I saw a blue dragonfly. I swung my iron broom vigorously towards the 'blue dragonfly'. Its wings were smashed.

I stared blankly at the struggling blue dragonfly.

"You have to control your strength." Ling Qiu walked in front of me and put his arm on my shoulder: "Don't worry, I will definitely catch it next time."

"Yeah." The two of us caught dragonflies on the top of the mountain for a long time, and seeing the dragonflies entangled with threads all over the sky, we suddenly felt a little proud.

I have never tried these things. I came to the countryside for some reason and met Ling Qiu.

Therefore, I am grateful to Ling Qiu from the bottom of my heart.I even feel that Ling Qiu is of great significance to me.

There are many things that I don’t want to say to my parents, I am willing to confide in him, and he is like a listener, quietly listening to my complaints, and will not find me annoying.

"I'll take you to catch bamboo shoot insects tomorrow!" Ling Qiu said while looking at me in front of my grandmother's house.

"Yeah." I nodded, "That, that..."

"What's wrong?" He looked at me.

"No, it's nothing." Holding the phone tightly in my trouser pocket, I turned around and walked towards the yard: "See you tomorrow then."

"okay, see you tomorrow."

I entered the house through the yard, and I was not relieved until I closed the wooden door.Originally, I wanted to take a photo with him, but I always felt a little embarrassed.I never thought of two boys doing such a thing.

But compared to this, I am more afraid of being rejected by him.
