mountain sleep

The sun rises, and it's a brand new day.

There are endless levels of new things in school. What happened yesterday has become a "secret" known to everyone and then becomes chewed leftovers. The same words are discussed over and over again.

Yao Ge sat down on the seat and saw an extra letter in the drawer.He turned the white envelope upside down, and wrote "Received by Yao Ge" without a signature.

"Thank you, Yao Ge."

He read these words over and over several times, and probably guessed who gave them.Xu Zihang is right, it makes sense.

Xu Zihang clicked on the class, immediately took out his mobile phone to refresh the post of Yao Ge's school, always paying attention to whether anyone was discussing this matter.

He stared at it all day yesterday, and while the school was still processing, posts were flying all over the place, trying to guess who the person in the radio room was.Xu Zihang dominated the comments of several posts by himself, and was questioned whether he was the person involved in being so excited.Today is much better, the post bar is deserted and deserted, and what I hang up is to ask if there is anyone in the class of XX in XX grade.

Xu Zihang put away his mobile phone, and when he looked up, he saw Lao Huang, the head teacher standing in front of him, and was startled.

"You come out with me."

Xu Zihang didn't know, so when he got up, he met Xiao Wu who was sitting in the fourth group, and the other party gestured at his neck, Xu Zihang knew it well.

"Aren't you in the dormitory at night? Why did you go?" Lao Huang was very angry. The dormitory students usually have to study by themselves in the evening. Yesterday Xu Zihang was not there.

"My mother came to see me yesterday, and I went out with her." Xu Zihang had already prepared a countermeasure, and he was full of confidence when he lied.

"Really?" Old Huang was skeptical. He knew that Xu Zihang was a foreign student. If parents came to visit, it would be excused not to be in the dormitory. He took out his mobile phone on the spot and asked Xu Zihang, "What is your mother's phone number?"

Xu Zihang reported a series of numbers without changing his face, and glanced at the finger he moved out.

"Hello? Hello." Lao Huang glanced at Xu Zihang, "Excuse me, is this Xu Zihang's mother? I am his homeroom teacher. Ah, it's okay, I just want to ask if you have come to Naicheng?"

When Chen Siyi heard it, he scolded Xu Zihang in his heart, but he responded quickly and affirmed on his face: "Yes, I just happened to have something to do yesterday, so I stopped by to see him. What's wrong, teacher?"

"Oh, that's it, that's good, nothing else, I just saw that he wasn't in the dormitory yesterday, so I'll confirm this with you. Just ask Xu Zihang to take a leave of absence from me in advance."

"I'm sorry, teacher, it's all my fault for telling him too soon. Next time, I will definitely ask for leave in advance. Please take care of me." Chen Siyi smiled and greeted the teacher a few more times, and asked about Xu Zihang's school situation. Be good, and thank the teacher again and again for your hard work.

Hanging up the phone, Chen Siyi didn't make any calls. This damn thing, when Xu Zihang overslept in the morning when he was in junior high school, he used her to trick his teacher into being late when he was sick. When he was in high school, he even used her to run out to play. Next time, he must settle accounts with him .

"Teacher, shall I go in?" Xu Zihang asked with a good attitude, his hands behind his back.

"Okay, let's go in, and ask for leave in advance next time." After the head teacher finished speaking, he stopped Xu Zihang and told him, and tapped his forehead, "Put away your mobile phone for me, don't think I didn't see it, early Read to me and read well."

Xu Zihang sent his mother a thank you note back, but if he received one, it would not be an exception.He raised his head and remembered that he didn't move a single word in his homework last night, so he quickly borrowed from his deskmate, and he was writing hard all morning.

After school at noon, Xu Zihang ran to the western restaurant two blocks away from his school, where Yang Yiwen was waiting for him.

"Hello Auntie."

As soon as Xu Zihang entered, Yang Yiwen stood up from his seat and called him to sit down: "Come on, drink some water first." She called the waiter and asked Xu Zihang to see what he wanted to eat on the menu.

This morning, Yang Yiwen found an opportunity to talk to Xu Zihang alone, and asked him to have lunch after school at noon, and wanted to ask him for help.

"Your school is pretty good. I just drove past the gate and saw a lot of snack bars in front of the school."

"Yes, it's full at noon, and most of us still eat in the cafeteria!" Xu Zihang didn't know what Yang Yiwen was looking for him for, and he was still a little guilty, looking at the menu, there was nothing he wanted to eat, so he casually pointed to a chicken steak set meal.

"Zihang, don't mind if Auntie invites you out. Auntie only knows you among Yao Ge's good friends." Yang Yiwen was a little disappointed when she said this, "I'm ashamed that I don't spend much time with Yao Ge. I compare him to him." Strict, so he doesn't like to talk to me about things. Fortunately, you, a good friend, accompany him."

"No, auntie," Xu Zihang waved his hand, "He helped me a lot."

Yang Yiwen greeted Xu Zihang's parents again, and cared about Xu Zihang's school life. She didn't get to the point until their order came, "Is he in a good mood last night?"

This morning, when Yao Ge saw her, he immediately turned his eyes away, refused to speak a word to her, and had a very stubborn temper.

"It's okay." Xu Zihang didn't know what to say, Yao Ge didn't tell him yesterday what Yang Yiwen's attitude was, let alone what they were arguing about, so he carefully chose a neutral word, and couldn't bear his temper Take the initiative to ask, "Auntie, what do you want me to do for you?"

"I wonder if Yao Ge told you about Auntie wanting him to go abroad?"

Xu Zihang lowered his head, stuffed a mouthful of broccoli into his mouth, and hummed twice.

Yang Yiwen put down the knife and fork again, and sighed: "But he was very resistant and had a fight with me yesterday."

Xu Zihang puffed his cheeks, quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, opened his eyes slightly and asked, "Is Yao Ge very resistant?"

"Yeah, he was unhappy with me yesterday, so he said he didn't want to go. I also thought about it for a long time. The main reason is that my aunt has a good friend who is there to rest assured, and..."

Was it because of the quarrel about going abroad?Although it was a bit selfish, the news that Yao Ge didn't want to go abroad really brought Xu Zihang back to life.He is now full of the fact that Yao Ge doesn't want to go abroad, doesn't want to leave him, the loss of last night drifted away again, and he was very happy. He nodded in agreement with what Yang Yiwen said, but in fact his thoughts had already gone to the sky.

"...So Auntie is thinking, can you help persuade him?" Yang Yiwen looked at the boy in front of her who seemed to be listening, and asked earnestly.

Xu Zihang came back to his senses, feeling uncomfortable being stared at by Yang Yiwen, picked up the tissue on the table and wiped his mouth, and then said: "Auntie, but didn't you say that he doesn't want to go?" Added, "I mean, if he doesn't want to, he won't be happy if he goes there, right? He doesn't have many friends, and you are not by his side. How lonely it is to go to America."

"How could it be? My aunt's friend's son has a good relationship with him. You can make new friends in the new environment. It's like when you come to school in Naicheng, you also leave your parents, right?"

"Yeah, yes." Xu Zihang moved his legs, of course he didn't want to help this favor in his heart, but he hated himself for being stupid and didn't know how to refute.

"Zihang," Yang Yiwen leaned closer, and analyzed the pros and cons with him earnestly, "You are still young, so you don't know that many things are not so good. Just talk about Teacher Tian Fei, Yao Ge may think that he went to the broadcasting room to give him Once exposed, the problem can be solved fundamentally, so what will be the consequences? Even if the school dealt with Tian Fei because of this incident, it is the actions of you, a student, that brought the matter to the surface. The reason why the school can't come to Taiwan. So, in the future, in this school, what honors and awards will there be, what opportunities will there be, and will you still have your share?"

Xu Zihang didn't think about these things. Yang Yiwen's words were not intense, and each sentence could be called slow, but this series of rhetorical questions made him at a loss, and he could only squeeze out a sentence: "But, it's not his fault..."

"I know. But I'm telling you the reality. The reality is that such behavior may cause the school to lose a gold medal teacher, and the reputation will be affected." Yang Yiwen changed the subject, "Of course, I'm not saying it's wrong, I I feel brave, and I am very proud. However, things have already happened, and we should minimize the damage and maximize our own interests, are you right?"

Xu Zihang lowered his head, a little confused.In front of Yang Yiwen, he is a child living in an ivory tower.He can only ask his own question: "Can going abroad solve it?"

"No. It's just that Auntie's ability is limited." Yang Yiwen is also very sad, but if she can think of a better way, she doesn't want to send Yao Ge so far. When she thinks of this, she can't help crying, "The private school in Naicheng wants to live on campus. , If you go there to study, it’s better to go abroad directly. Auntie works here, and there is no way to transfer to other cities. That’s why I want to ask you for help. As a friend, maybe he will listen to what you say.”

When Xu Zihang saw her tears, his nose started to ache.Every word Yang Yiwen said penetrated into his heart, embarrassing him, but he didn't want to just nod like that.

Xu Zihang insisted with difficulty: "Auntie, as you said, we are all responsible for our actions. If Yao Ge doesn't want to go, can you not keep forcing him? It will be even more sad for him."

Yang Yiwen stirred the lemon hot water at hand, sighed, and agreed: "How can Auntie force him, just say try it, if it doesn't work, let's talk."

After dinner, Xu Zihang went back in Yang Yiwen's car, and the two said goodbye at the school gate.When he got out of the car, he happened to meet a few roommates who were walking this way carrying milk tea.

"I said, why did you disappear today, your car?" Xiaoer sighed enviously, "Tsk, your mother is so young."

"No, this is my aunt." Xu Zihang dealt with it casually in order to avoid trouble.Although he was in a bad mood, he still cheered up in front of outsiders, "There is still time before class, why don't you go play a game?"

"Okay."

"Let's go!"

It's almost summer soon, and I'm sweating when I move casually.Xu Zihang missed several consecutive dribbles and couldn't shoot properly, so he waved his hand and walked to the side to rest.The broken hair on his forehead stuck to his face with sweat, Xu Zihang closed his eyes and shook his head.

Just having lunch with Yang Yiwen today, Xu Zihang couldn't help but follow her logic.Those words engulfed him like spider webs flying around, and he couldn't get rid of them even if he wanted to.His sense of powerlessness returned, and the fact that Yao Ge might go abroad made him feel powerless like never before.

Just like a ball that can't be shot, no matter how concentrated he is, he can't make it. He can't find the direction to exert his strength.

Nothing but heartache.

"Maybe it's better for you to go abroad." When he said this to Yao Ge, Xu Zihang really believed it.

There was a long silence over the microphone.After a while, Yao Ge asked, "What did my mother tell you?"

"No!" Xu Zihang tugged at his hair, trying to make his tone sound relaxed, "I just saw it myself, compared to the high school, I think it's pretty good."

"Who told you that I was going?"

After being choked by Yao Ge, Xu Zihang stammered: "I, I guessed wildly. If not, forget it."

Yao Ge didn't speak, turned the pen in his hand, and then asked: "What do you plan to do after I go abroad?"

"Exotic love, what a foreign style. It's not like we haven't lived in different places. Can't we still make phone calls?"

"several years?"

"..." Xu Zihang rubbed his face, unable to continue.Yes, how many years?How long will it take him to catch up to Yao Ge?Could it be that the more he chased, the farther he went?

Yao Ge threw the material in front of his mother: "Don't waste your energy. I won't go."
