little stutter

The two returned to the dormitory one after the other, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere was a bit dull.No matter what, Chen Xinru never expected Cheng Xin to come looking for him. He didn't know when he came here. Did he hear himself crying? He felt extremely regretful for his worthless performance.

The door of the dormitory was already closed. This was the first time Chen Xin encountered such a situation, and looked at Cheng Xin with some helplessness.Cheng Xin went to knock on the door as if nothing happened: "Uncle, please open the door, we haven't entered yet."

After a while, the uncle guard came out wearing a military overcoat and saw Cheng Xin: "Why is it you again?" Obviously the uncle gate guard also recognized Cheng Xin, and knew that this was not the first time he came home late.

Cheng Xin hugged his stomach and pretended to be weak: "I'm sick, and my classmate accompanied me to get an injection."

The uncle looked at Cheng Xin, and then at the innocent Chen Xin. He seemed to think that he didn't look like a bad student, so he opened the door with a straight face: "Lazy people have a lot of shit. Come in, and I will call you if you come home late next time." The head teacher is here to pick it up."

"Okay, thank you uncle!" Cheng Xin smiled obsequiously, then turned his head to Chen Xin and motioned him to follow.

Chen Xin looked at Cheng Xin's back, and felt that this person was a little confusing for him. Why did he take the blame for himself?I was also told by the guard.When going up the stairs, Cheng Xin walked ahead, stomped hard, and the voice-activated light came on. He raised his head and rested his head with both hands, looking at the dim corridor lights. In such a cold day, there were actually moths around the lights. Fei, suddenly said: "If you don't want to read it, don't read it. She can't do anything to you."

Chen Xin remained silent. It was one thing not to want to read, but the fundamental reason was that he could not read well. He had never felt frustrated in his studies, but his spoken English made him seriously question himself. He never hated it like he did now. I stuttered, and even began to doubt my life, feeling that the road ahead was dark.

When the two returned to the dormitory, Chen Xin quickly finished washing, got into the quilt, and wrapped herself like a cocoon, as if the quilt was the most solid barrier to protect him, and when he got in, he could get rid of all the pain and helplessness in this world.

Cheng Xin glanced at the opposite bed, turned off the light and fell asleep.In the middle of the night, Cheng Xin was woken up by the noise in the room. He listened attentively. It was Chen Xin who was talking on the opposite bed. He heard a clear "dream", and he couldn't help but shook his head. It's not a mistake, he was still reciting it in the middle of the night. In English, I still kept people from sleeping, and then a few words that did not form a sentence came out intermittently, not like memorizing, but like talking in my sleep. How stressful it is, I am talking English in my dreams.After a while, there was a "woo woo" sound from the opposite side. Is this crying?Cheng Xin wondered if he was going to wake him up, but the voice from the other side disappeared again. It seemed that he was really dreaming. Cheng Xin waited for a while, but Chen Xin didn't make any more noise. He turned over and fell asleep again. .

When he got up the next day, Cheng Xin didn't mention the sleep talk to Chen Xin. Before going to the classroom, he went to Fang Jun first: "You don't care, let people sleep!"

Fang Juan looked at Cheng Xin who had a hostile expression on his face. Could this master finally be unable to take it anymore?He said with a straight face: "What's the matter, who won't let you sleep?"

Cheng Xin said, "Who else? It's just the one in my room, talking in sleep most of the night, and crying, scaring everyone to pee."

Wait, it doesn't look like you don't get along well with Chen Xin, but it seems like you are here to report the situation, Fang Juan's attitude softened a bit: "What's going on? Chen Xin?"

Cheng Xin rolled his eyes: "Who else do you think? He speaks English most of the night, stutters, and cries when he can't read well."

Fang Juan showed a surprised expression: "Really? Did you have it before?"

"No, just last night. Recently, he was almost driven crazy by the old lady, but I don't think he's crazy yet, so I was tortured crazy. The old lady is really too, and she can't eat hot tofu even if she is impatient. She makes that Little Stutter gave a speech, saying it was to practice oral English, which made people nervous, if this continues, I think little Stutter can't bear the pressure and is going to jump off the building." Cheng Xin rolled his eyes as he said.

Sure enough, he came to report the situation. Fang Jun felt that he was exaggerating and making a fuss: "Don't talk nonsense, is it that serious?"

Cheng Xin shrugged: "Maybe I'm exaggerating a bit. The old lady is trying to be good for him, but in fact it's dampening his enthusiasm for learning. He hasn't had a good English class for a few days."

Fang Juan looked at Cheng Xin thoughtfully: "I see. You go back to the classroom first, I'll talk to Chen Xin."

Cheng Xin added: "You must not mention that I said this, especially the matter of him crying."

"why?"

"Do you still need to ask? It's a matter of self-esteem."

Fang Jun laughed: "Since when have you cared about your classmates' feelings?"

Cheng Xin rolled his eyes: "The devil cares about him, aren't you annoyed by your bad face every day? Let's settle this matter quickly."

"Okay, I see, you go back." Fang Juan tapped his fingers on the table, thinking about how to deal with this matter.Chen Xin's child is a top-notch child wherever he is placed. He studies well, looks good, is quiet and obedient, which teacher doesn't like it?But he lacks self-confidence, especially when he speaks, as if he himself feels inferior to other people. He has always felt sorry for the child. No, he is trying to save it. The old lady must be sure. Don't spoil him.Fang Juan got up, left the office, turned back, looked at the schedule, found the class where the old lady was in the morning self-study, and then went out again.

Before the morning self-study, Chen Xin was called out by the English teacher, and the old lady said to Chen Xin with a pleasant face: "Chen Xin, I'm sorry, the teacher was a little impatient and didn't take your feelings into consideration. Well, you don't have to give a speech today Now, you practice first, and when you finish practicing and you think you can speak, then you can take the initiative to tell me, and I will arrange for you to speak, okay?"

Chen Xin's drooping long eyelashes trembled a few times, and finally raised her eyes to look at the teacher: "But, it may take, it will take a long time."

The old lady smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay, any day is fine, don't have any psychological burden."

Chen Xin bowed to the old lady, then turned and went back to the classroom.Cheng Xin saw him return to his seat with a sigh of relief, and asked with his hands on his head, "What did the old lady tell you?"

Chen Xin turned to look at Cheng Xin, without saying a word, but suddenly showed a relaxed smile.This is the first time Cheng Xin saw Chen Xinxiao, his heart suddenly tightened, as if struck by lightning, this feeling was strong and strange, although it was fleeting, Cheng Xin struggled all day The question: what's going on, he's never felt this way before.

In order to prove this question, Cheng Xin began to observe other people's smiling faces. He found that when Cao Ji smiled, his teeth were all open and his eyes were slit. A little more reserved than his brother, the teeth are not open, but the upper lip is turned up, showing the teeth, which looks a bit funny; when Xu Junshang smiles, the corners of his lips are drawn to the sides, revealing eight white teeth, Standard international smile, this guy prefers to be handsome, his smile is practiced in front of the mirror, a bit fake.He went to observe the girls again. When some girls smiled, their lips were pursed, and their teeth were not showing when they smiled. It is estimated that the teeth are ugly; With parted lips, showing a little bit of teeth, he smiled very miserly.After seeing countless smiling faces, none of them gave him the same feeling as Chen Xin's smiling face in the morning.

In the best bakery outside the gate of Risheng School, Shu Liang with bright eyes and bright teeth was sitting opposite Cheng Xin. She saw him make a mess of the cappuccino's love, but she didn't take a sip, and her eyes were still wandering around. Instead of falling on himself, he couldn't help but pouted: "Ah Xin, what are you looking at?" Today is finally Sunday, the only day that Risheng students can relax every week, and it also coincides with Shu Liang's birthday, Cheng Xin promised to help her. Celebrating her birthday, no, I'm ordering a birthday cake for her, along with something to drink.Shu Liang likes the rich sweet fragrance in the bakery the most, just like the smell of love.But in such a romantic and sweet place, Cheng Xin is obviously absent-minded, which is simply too depressing. Is he so unattractive to him?

Cheng Xin came back to his senses: "Ah? Is the cake ready?" The bakery was filled with boys and girls, or two girls. Perhaps because the food here was delicious, everyone had satisfied smiles on their faces. , the girls all smiled sweetly, but none of them made Cheng Xin feel, to be precise, the feeling Chen Xin gave him in the morning.

"No, how could it be so fast? It's only been 15 minutes. It takes at least two hours to make a cake." Shu Liang showed an unhappy look on her face.

"Then we're waiting here for two hours?" Cheng Xin frowned, raised his hand and looked at his watch. There are still two hours, two and ten minutes before the evening self-study starts. I asked for leave to leave school, and had to return to school before evening self-study, so the total was three hours.

Shu Liang said: "They can send cakes to our school. It's just that I like the atmosphere here and want to sit here. Besides, you haven't even had a drink yet."

Cheng Xin looked down, and indeed he didn't take a sip. He picked it up and took a sip. The taste was too sweet, not his favorite taste, it was recommended by Shu Liang. He opened his eyes wide and was choked by the milk. He quickly put down the cup, stood up, and said to Shu Liang, "Shu Liang, I have to leave beforehand, so you can go back by yourself." After speaking, he left in a hurry.

Shu Liang hurriedly called him from behind: "Wait, where are you going?" Cheng Xin ignored her, and she stomped her foot angrily, as she had agreed to spend her birthday with her.

Cheng Xin ran out of the bakery, crossed the road, and caught up with Chen Xin who was looking around on the sidewalk.Cheng Xin walked over, raised his hand and patted Chen Xin on the shoulder: "Hey, aren't you unable to tell?"

Chen Xin turned her head, her face pale with fright: "You, what are you doing?"

Cheng Xin showed a naughty smile, folded his hands on his chest: "Master, I'm bored, I see you wandering around like a blind man, I kindly show you the way, tell me, what do you want to buy?"

Chen Xin scratched his head, he was really not familiar with this place, so he said, "Buy, buy ink."

"Huh?!" Cheng Xin poked out his ears, "You don't always use ballpoint pens, what kind of ink do you buy?"

Nowadays, students basically write with water pens, because they are smooth and convenient, and very few use ballpoint pens, because writing is laborious, and those who use fountain pens are even rarer. Absorbs ink, and the nib is easy to break.Chen Xin has always used fountain pens, because she has changed places and has not bought ink, so she has always used ballpoint pens instead, because fountain pens are too expensive and expensive.He didn't plan to come out today, but when he was doing his homework, he found that the ballpoint pen was out of ink, so he came out to buy ink.Chen Xin didn't answer Cheng Xin's question, but just asked: "Where, where is there ink, ink for sale?" He asked two stationery stores just now, and they all said that there was no ink for sale, but there was ink, and no one used fountain pens these days Yes, after entering the ink, it can only be pressed, and it will not enter at all.

Cheng Xin glanced back at the large stationery store: "Isn't it sold over there?"

Chen Xin shook his head.

Cheng Xin thought for a while: "Then I'll take you to a place where there should be something for sale."

Chen Xin had no choice but to follow Cheng Xin, and the two walked one after the other. Cheng Xin looked back at each other from time to time, wanting to see his smile again, to confirm whether he had an illusion at the time, but Chen Xin was very stingy and smiled. Always expressionless, as if the world has a grudge against him.After walking for a while, Cheng Xin stopped suddenly, turned to Chen Xin, and said, "Hey, why don't you smile?"

Seeing him turn around, Chen Xin thought that he was going to say something to her, but she didn't expect it to be such a nonsensical sentence. He opened his mouth slightly and froze, then turned his face away under Cheng Xin's aggressive gaze. He has always disliked people staring at him, he thought to himself, there is nothing to laugh about, and he is not stupid.

Cheng Xin raised his hand and wiped his forehead, okay, don't smile if you don't smile: "Here, it's in front."

Chen Xin looked up and saw a shop with a log signboard in front of it, with three big characters of "Hanmozhai" indented on it.Cheng Xin explained: "This place sells calligraphy, painting and stationery. Junshang came here to buy rice paper. There should be ink, so go in and ask." He opened the glass door and went in, and waited for Chen Xin to come in before opening the movable glass door. The door opens.

As soon as Chen Xin entered, she smelled a strong smell of ink. There were some paintings and calligraphy hanging on the wall, the shelves were full of brushes, rice paper, felt, etc., and there were many easels stacked against the wall. Chen Xin felt that she was His eyes are a little hard to see, he likes the atmosphere here.Cheng Xin asked directly: "Boss, is there any ink? It's not ink!"

The boss went online behind the cash register, looked up and said, "Yes, it's on the shelf over there, under the last row, and you can find it yourself."

Cheng Xin and Chen Xin followed the boss's instructions and walked to the innermost shelf, where there were piles of large and small bottles and jars, all of which were ink and ink.Chen Xin saw the hero ink he was looking for at a glance. He bent down and took the ink in his hand. Cheng Xin was still looking for it, so he asked, "Found it?"

"Yeah." Chen Xin nodded. This is the non-carbon black ink he has always used. The non-carbon ink will not clog the tip of the pen, so it does not need to be cleaned. He opened the box and checked to see if the ink is full enough and if there is any ink leakage. Phenomenon.

Cheng Xin glanced at the cuboid box in Chen Xin's hand, and then saw a cube box next to it, which also belonged to a hero. When he opened it, he found a bottle with a tall mouth and a round belly, just like Chen Xin's unartistic bottle. Compared with the Fangzheng bottle, it looks much more delicate: "Why don't you take this?"

Chen Xin said, "This is cheap."

Cheng Xin took a look, and it was indeed the case. Chen Xin's one cost 7 yuan, but the one he took cost 10 yuan, and the capacity was about the same. Cheng Xin curled his lips. In this face-seeking world, he put the ink back.From nowhere, a soft feather floated in front of Cheng Xin and landed on Cheng Xin's nose. Cheng Xin subconsciously stretched out his hand and scratched it, then looked at his hand: "Fuck, my hand How come there is ink!"

Chen Xin looked up, and suddenly burst out laughing. Cheng Xin's tall nose was stained with black ink, which looked like Uncle McDonald's red nose, but this one was black. The more Chen Xin looked at it, the happier he was. Can't help leaning forward and backward.Cheng Xin was a little annoyed at first, but seeing Chen Xin's smile now, he couldn't help being stunned.
