little turtle in the reeds

At the end of morning self-study, Yuan Ye ate his breakfast leisurely, grabbed his English textbook and walked into the classroom.Xu Yiran looked at the book calmly, thinking that he had successfully concealed his excessive nervousness, but Yuan Ye glanced at him casually, wondering, "Why don't you put on more clothes? Goosebumps are all over your arms."

Xu Yiran: "..."

Yuan Ye looked at the textbook and made another plan. He opened the English book casually and asked Xu Yiran how to pronounce it by pointing to a section of the text. .

Yuan Ye was silent for a moment, stared at Xu Yiran, looked at Xu Yiran's blank expression, and cursed "fuck" viciously.Now he was sure that Xu Yiran did it on purpose, deliberately not wanting to talk to him, and insulting him with these pretentious letters.

"I don't understand." Yuan Ye said blankly, "I want you to read it out?"

Xu Yiran was taken aback for a moment, and immediately showed a clear expression, with an expression of "you're joking again", wrote on the paper and said: "You still say you can't read, stop playing, memorize it quickly, I will write it silently soon gone."

"I really don't know phonetic symbols." In order to prove that he didn't lie, Yuan Ye tried hard to identify a few words, and finished a sentence of English with stuttering, vividly showing how scumbag the world of scumbags can be.

Xu Yiran looked at him in disbelief. In the former's world view, phonetic symbols are obviously the most basic skills that elementary school students can master.Yuan Ye asked him again with a cold face, thinking that when he finds out the reason why this little coward refuses to speak, he must make him pay for today's humiliation.

However, what puzzled Yuan Ye was that after listening to Yuan Ye's stuttering reading, Xu Yiran's face showed a look of encountering a confidant. Vivid emotions.

He really stuttered just now, Xu Yiran thought, pulled out a brand new Xiaobawang repeater from the belly of the table, plugged in the earphones and put it in Yuan Ye's hand, wrote a few words on the paper and said: "The textbook has been downloaded , listen to yourself."

Yuan Ye held on to the repeater for a while, then put on the earphones angrily, and while listening to English, cursed in his heart: Fuck the repeater, who the hell wants to use Xiaobawang!

In this way, Yuan Ye still didn't know why the new deskmate refused to talk on the second day when he and the transfer student became deskmates.Fortunately, he has always been wandering in class, so he has time to develop rich associations, from the common guess of "Xu Yiran is still in the period of changing his voice, and his voice is too ugly to speak", all the way to "Maybe some Humans are little goblins who came to repay their kindness, and they exchanged a good voice for this precious opportunity to become a human being, and came to their side to repay the past life-saving grace" and other fantasy events, and even thought about it seriously. Based on his life experience over the past few years, he tried to find one or two animals that fit Xu Yiran's image from the little lives he had saved with great kindness, completely ignoring the fact that Xu Yiran was his tablemate forcibly coming over.

In the end, Yuan Ye regretted that although his new deskmate was very similar to the little tortoise he had caught in the reeds, if that little tortoise could really turn into a human form, it should have come to him for revenge rather than to repay him.

At this time, several classes had passed, and after this class, it was time for lunch again.Yuan Ye came back to reality from his own brain hole, wondering how Xu Yiran could not move for the whole class. When he turned his head, he found that the latter was sitting upright and looking at the blackboard. There was a crack.

Xu Yiran can't really be blamed for this—changing schools and dormitories is not easy to adapt to. On the first night of living in school, a new classmate I just met touched the bed. It's strange that I can sleep well this night.

This morning, Xu Yiran spent the whole morning pinching his own hands, and it was really too much for the last class.He had already lost all his strength in pinching his hand, and he lay there vainly. One end of the fountain pen he was holding fell on the table, and the other end left a pile of suspicious characters on his hand.

Yuan Ye looked at his serious sleeping posture with admiration. From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the English teacher's sweeping and probing eyes, and his heart moved.

The English teacher always likes to ask people to answer questions. If Lin Xiaoqiao hadn't greeted her in advance and told her not to call this new student, she would have wanted to pick him up a long time ago—anyone who is deserting in this classroom, there is no One that escaped her old man's piercing eyes.

At this time, she had already shot Xu Yiran a few times, but the latter was too happy to talk with Duke Zhou, so he didn't notice the gaze from the English teacher.There were only three things, and the English teacher finally couldn't bear to call Xu Yiran up after seeing that repeated eye contact was useless.

Yuan Ye sharply caught the movement of the English teacher's lips, before she called Xu Yiran's name, he suddenly picked up the eraser on the table and threw it towards Jiang Hai in the distance, hitting Jiang Hai on the back of the head.

The English teacher's attention was suddenly diverted.

Jiang Hai rubbed his head and looked around for the murderer. Seeing Yuan Ye smiling silently at him, he gave him a middle finger, lowered his head to pick up the eraser, turned around and threw it at Yuan Ye, with a perfect aim, hitting the bridge of Yuan Ye's handsome nose.

Xu Yiran was still ignorant of all this and fell asleep peacefully.

Yuan Ye let out an "Aiyo", covered his nose and let out an exaggerated pain, which made the surrounding students who had already noticed his small movements burst into laughter.Some students far away who were listening to the lectures hurriedly asked the same table or the front and back tables, eager to understand everyone's jokes.There was quite a commotion in the classroom.

The English teacher looked at the two culprits with an ugly expression, and broke out after a moment of silence: "Yuan Ye Jiang Hai! Stand up and listen to the class!"

The English teacher's voice was very penetrating, and Xu Yiran's whole body trembled with a loud reprimand, and he finally woke up.But he didn't know what happened. He looked around in a daze, only to see Yuan Ye stood up and looked at the English teacher with a smile, while Jiang Hai, who was a difficult brother, was speechless, with every strand of hair trembling. Written about the grievances of a legitimate defender.

His expression in place once again provided the students with a joke. Amidst the laughter of the whole class, the English teacher waited for everyone to calm down with a dark face. He had long forgotten Xu Yiran who had deserted before.

Yuan Ye felt that he was meritorious, and grabbed Xu Yiran as soon as the get out of class bell rang, and was about to brag about the great sacrifice he made, when Jiang Hai walked over aggressively to avenge himself.Yuan Ye dismissed Jiang Hai casually, but it aroused the latter's dissatisfaction. The two scuffled half-jokingly. When Yuan Ye finally got rid of Jiang Hai, Xu Yiran had slipped away again.He had no choice but to eat in resentment.

Xu Yiran wanted to blend in with the crowd, finish his meal quickly, avoid Yuan Ye, and was eating, but sat down alone in front of him.He felt a little familiar, recalled it, and remembered that it was Mao Xiaoyong, a classmate.

Mao Xiaoyong asked him embarrassedly: "Can I sit here?"

Xu Yiran slowed down his rapid chewing of food, nodded after a while, and dragged the plate in front of him towards him.

Mao Xiaoyong sat down opposite him, took a few bites, swallowed, and introduced himself awkwardly: "Do you remember my name? My name is Mao Xiaoyong."

Xu Yiran nodded, feeling that this person was hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to tell him a certain secret, so he couldn't help speeding up his chewing movements again, wanting to leave quickly.

However, he took a step too late, and heard Mao Xiaoyong say: "Yesterday, Yuan Ye didn't allow us to sit at the same table with you, so you're not angry, are you?"

Xu Yiran shook his head.

Mao Xiaoyong said: "Don't blame Yuan Ye, everyone knows his family situation, and usually let him go. His mother left early, and his father was fierce. Although he is quite rich, he is not good to him. Sometimes he is overbearing. Son, but he’s pretty good to his classmates, Jiang Hai celebrated his birthday, and he even gave Jiang Hai a pair of Nike sneakers.” Mao Xiaoyong emphasized in an envious and inferior tone, “His family is really rich, I heard It is said that his monthly pocket money is tens of thousands."

But Xu Yiran just nodded indiscriminately, without giving him the expected reaction.He originally thought that since Xu Yiran was as timid and fearful as himself, he took the initiative to show his kindness, provided Xu Yiran with these important information, and extended an olive branch of friendship. The latter would be very grateful and form a solid friendship with him. .

Unexpectedly, after Xu Yiran finished his meal, he turned his head and wanted to leave, and had no intention of becoming friends with him at all.Mao Xiaoyong hurriedly grabbed him, gritted his teeth, and revealed all his trump cards.

"Do you know why Yuan Ye refuses to study hard, why do you have to confront the teacher?" Mao Xiaoyong said mysteriously, thinking that having a common secret was the beginning of friendship between the two, "I only tell you about this, the whole class only I know."

Xu Yiran wanted to get rid of him, but he held onto Xu Yiran and insisted on revealing the secret, with a bit of complacency in his tone: "Yuan Ye didn't have any objections to the school, he was against his father, his father He cheated on his mother before he was dead, and his current lover is the mistress from back then, and he suspects that his father killed his mother..." Mao Xiaoyong was talking endlessly in a tone of pity, when his eyes suddenly changed, and he stopped. He pursed his lips, looked at the direction behind Xu Yiran in horror, even forgot to take the plate, stood up and ran.

Xu Yiran turned his head and saw that Yuan Ye was staring at him with a gloomy expression, his brows were full of hostility, and his eyes showed the most vicious look of hatred.The big boy who liked to tease people and was always in high spirits disappeared, and the boy standing in front of him turned into a fierce but lonely cub.

Xu Yiran picked at the seam of his trousers uneasily, trying to break his rule of never speaking. When he opened his mouth to explain to Yuan Ye, Yuan Ye grabbed the dinner plate behind Xu Yiran, slammed it on the ground, turned around and strode away .
