Fork in the road

The classroom was quiet, and Bai Xiaoyuan suddenly wanted to see what Yu Xian was doing with his back on his back. He turned his head and found that Yu Xian was flipping through a political book and still sketching on it.Bai Xiaoyuan stared blankly at Yu Xian for a while, Yu Xian rested his forehead on his left hand, and met Bai Xiaoyuan's gaze when he turned his eyes. He raised his eyebrows at him, meaning: What's the matter?

Bai Xiaoyuan looked at the teacher on the podium, took out a blank notebook, and scribbled a line: "Are you going to study literature?" At the end of the sentence, he drew a wrinkled frightened face——Bai Xiaoyuan Xiao Yuan has not been studying art for a short time, and it is effortless for him to doodle casually.

He pushed the notebook over bit by bit, Yu Xian glanced at it, wrote a sentence, and pushed the notebook back.

"Not at all."

Bai Xiaoyuan really wanted to ask why you still had to study politics so seriously, but seeing that the class would be over in a while, he resisted the desire to speak, and started to memorize the vocabulary again.

After school, Bai Xiaoyuan finally asked the question. Yu Xian took a look at Bai Xiaoyuan while riding a bicycle, and said as a matter of course: "Although you don't take the college entrance examination, you still have to be good at it. You throw them away now. It’s no fun when you fail the exam.”

Although Yu Xian's image of a schoolmaster in Bai Xiaoyuan's mind has changed a little, but Yu Xian's words still carry a lot of weight in Bai Xiaoyuan's heart.Bai Xiaoyuan immediately corrected his attitude and said honestly, "Don't throw it away, you still have to learn."

However, the guarantee to Yu Xian still failed to change Bai Xiaoyuan's attitude towards liberal arts as if he was facing a class enemy in the end-if it wasn't for the high school entrance examination, he would not know which high school he was in.

One month after the start of school, there is a three-day holiday on November [-]. There will be a monthly exam immediately after the holiday. Bai Xiaoyuan spent half a day in these three days buying new cactus and planting them in pots. No, this time it looks more pleasing to the eye than the last one; I still spent most of the day with Lu Shaoguang and his brother in the dance classroom, oh, this half day also includes the time for Lu Shaoguang to ask homework questions—— One month is enough time for her to see that Bai Xiaoyuan is studying well - the rest of the time Bai Xiaoyuan is basically doing homework, reviewing and previewing, which can be regarded as indulging in the ocean of study and almost drowning.

When reviewing, Bai Xiaoyuan almost picked up the history book and just memorized a question—hungry; picked up the political paper to check the wrong question—wanted to go to the toilet; picked up the notes organized by the geography teacher and read a page—— Sleepy, go to bed early.

Bai Xiaoyuan's proud focus was defeated by Shi Dizheng.

So he could only resign himself to his fate and finish the parts of language, mathematics and physics and chemistry first. On the last day, he woke up early and kowtowed and gnawed at these three liberal arts, but finally failed.

When Bai Xiaoyuan sent Yu Xian a message after lunch, she was on the verge of tears. Why did she study these three subjects together?Why wheel yourself? !

Yu Xian was in his room, and when he clicked on the voice message, Bai Xiaoyuan's miserable voice came out, "Let's go to school early in the afternoon, I have an appointment to play with them."

Yu Xian put down the novel in his hand, and replied in a flat voice, "Okay." After putting down the phone for a while, he felt that Bai Xiaoyuan's voice was too miserable, so he picked up the phone again and asked, "What’s wrong with you?"

Bai Xiaoyuan's voice was faint, "I was abused by Shi Dizheng all morning..."

Yu Xian blinked, "Enjoy it."

Bai Xiaoyuan quickly sent an emoji of a blushing cute girl.

Yu Xian replied with a series of ellipses, and then used voice, "I think you should go play ball early, the child will learn to be stupid."

When Bai Xiaoyuan returned to his seat, Yu Xian only raised his eyebrows, his eyes were still glued to the book in his hand, and he let out a very cold "yo".

After Bai Xiaoyuan finished playing, he went to have a meal again. Now he no longer smelled of sweat, and he didn't care about Yu Xian's perfunctory attitude—it looked like he couldn't control the outside world, and Bai Xiaoyuan himself was like this sometimes ——He leaned over to look at the book in Yu Xian's hand, and jokingly said, "Hey, the exam is tomorrow. If you still read detective novels, won't you be thinking about who the murderer is while doing the paper?"

Yu Xian raised the book to reveal the spine, his eyes were still fixed on the words, and he replied slowly: "I will keep thinking about it until I finish it. There are only a few pages left, and I can finish it in a while."

Bai Xiaoyuan didn't intend to persuade him to put down the book at first, so he didn't continue this topic. He looked away, took out the political book from his desk, and asked suddenly as if he remembered something: "Have you had dinner yet?" ?”

Now half of the students have come to the classroom one after another, most of them are reading in their seats, and some of them are talking in low voices.It was time for dinner, and most students would either settle at home before coming to school, or come to the cafeteria early, but Bai Xiaoyuan looked at Yu Xian as if he hadn't moved since he came here.

Yu Xian had already devoted himself to reading the book, and after listening to Bai Xiaoyuan's question, he responded for a while before answering: "No."

Bai Xiaoyuan put down the political book in his hand and turned to look at Yu Xian, but Yu Xian didn't notice the eyes of the people around him at all, and was immersed in reading.Finally, Bai Xiaoyuan sighed helplessly, looked at the time, and took the colonel out of the classroom door.

Yu Xian's time estimate was pretty accurate, he had ten minutes left before he finished his evening self-study after finishing the novel.

Putting the book on the desk, Yu Xian closed his eyes and rubbed the bridge of his nose. When he opened his eyes, he saw a piece of meat floss bread being handed to him.

Bai Xiaoyuan held a popsicle in his mouth, said "here", and said vaguely: "You must be too late to go to the cafeteria, eat a bread mat."

Yu Xian said thank you, took it and started to finish his dinner very quickly, Bai Xiaoyuan looked at Yu Xian and sighed exaggeratedly, "You really show that you forget to eat and sleep... If you put it on the math problem, the class director You could be moved enough to cry."

Yu Xian couldn't maintain his expression of satisfaction because someone offered him dinner immediately after he finished reading his favorite book, he quickly swallowed his mouth, and said with a little displeasure: "You are now with the head teacher. We are on the same front.”

Bai Xiaoyuan immediately defended: "Why, the last class I don't want to take now is math class, okay..."

Bai Xiaoyuan participated in the quiz in the competition class organized by the school after school started, and now he is participating in the mathematics competition class.And the teacher leading the class is his dear head teacher—Chen Yu.The competition class takes up the afternoon self-study class for a few days every week. As a student in Chen Yu's class, Bai Xiaoyuan spends more time seeing Chen Yu than both his classmates and the students in the competition class—and Bai Xiaoyuan Xiao Yuan is also the representative of the mathematics class, and he also takes over the job of delivering homework, so Bai Xiaoyuan really doesn't have many chances to meet Chen Yu.

Regarding the delivery of homework, at first Yu Xian and Bai Xiaoyuan planned to take turns, one person accepts and one person delivers.However, after Yu Xian went there twice, he completely handed over the matter to Bai Xiaoyuan, because whenever Chen Yu was in the office when he went to deliver homework, the other party would talk to Yu Xian with a smile.

Maybe some students think that it is a good thing to have a good relationship with the teacher, but Yu Xian has always felt that talking to the teacher is a troublesome thing.In his mind, he classified the teacher and the elders into the same class, and when talking to people of that class, Yu Xian was completely incapable of chatting, other than trying to be polite and respectful.

So after listening to Yu Xian's powerless complaint, Bai Xiaoyuan said quite indifferently that since Yu Xian didn't want to send homework, he would do it all, and it was no big deal.

However, Bai Xiaoyuan completely disagreed with the point that he and the class teacher united front.

The same hair, Bai Xiaoyuan is also being abused by mathematics, he and Yu Xian are obviously comrades in the same trench, the kind who help each other pick up corpses.

Yu Xian shook his head, "What you just said clearly made me think that you are a good public servant of the people and a good subject representative of the teacher."

Bai Xiaoyuan was confused and complicated in his heart, and after blinking, he calmly said, "Eat it quickly." He lowered his head, and found that the popsicle in his hand was about to melt, so he hurriedly ate it.

Both of them had something in their mouths, and they didn't speak for a while.

When class was about to start, Guo Zeyuan and Lu Shaoguang entered the classroom. They were the last ones in the classroom. When they sat down, other students had already started self-study spontaneously, and the classroom was quite quiet.

Lu Shaoguang tapped Bai Xiaoyuan's back lightly with a pen, and whispered: "Xiaobai, can I borrow your math homework for the first class?"

Although there are exams at the beginning of school, there are a lot of homework during the three-day holiday.Bai Xiaoyuan directly took out his own math paper and handed it over, and Lu Shaoguang whispered again: "Thank you~" He picked up Bai Xiaoyuan's paper and put it between her and Guo Zeyuan's desks, and the two checked the answers together. During the period, they secretly discussed different ideas.

Yu Xian glanced at the calm Bai Xiaoyuan, and remembered that Bai Xiaoyuan had told him that he would meet Lu Shaoguang every week when he went to dance class, so the two were already quite familiar with each other.

But in fact, it's only been a month since school started, more than four weeks, and Bai Xiaoyuan and Lu Shaoguang haven't had many dance classes together.

Yu Xian is not a person who is good at making friends, and the longest friendship he has maintained is with Bai Xiaoyuan—there was a three-year break in the middle.In those three years, the relationship between Yu Xian and the classmates in the class was that he could talk a few words, but there were really no friends who could be honest with each other to the point of informality.

Yu Xian doesn't think there's anything wrong with this, friendship is not a necessity for him, he never needs to pretend in his heart to comfort himself that it's good to be alone, after all, he never thinks it's worth it if it's a big deal Take it out and say it alone.

Yu Xian is also very clear about Bai Xiaoyuan's ability to make friends.But this has nothing to do with Yu Xian. Yu Xian doesn't long for friends, so naturally he doesn't have any feelings of envy or jealousy.

But... Yu Xian's best friend now is indeed Bai Xiaoyuan.The two go to and from school together, eat together, and spend almost all of their time together except in their spare time.

But how much spare time can high school students have?

So now Yu Xian and Bai Xiaoyuan are almost "inseparable" - except that they don't sleep together.

In the three years of junior high school, it is perfectly fine for Yu Xian to quietly stay away from the group alone, but he has gone through the process of regaining friendship, and if Bai Xiaoyuan, who made him used to the two-person action, has become stronger than him in these three years For important friends, Yu Xian felt that he might not be able to accept it.

But if this situation really happens, Yu Xian has no better way to deal with it than to accept the fact that he was left out in the cold.After all, the most important friendships in student days are often shared by two people.

Yu Xian has seen such a thing.When I was in junior high school, there were two people who played well together in the class, and after a while, one of them got a closer friend, and the other either insisted on not leaving and became a slightly awkward role among the three. , or you can only find another friend to make yourself less lonely.

Yu Xian didn't have such worries at that time, because he didn't have any inseparable friends at all-but now he finally has them again.

Maybe Bai Xiaoyuan already had friends who surpassed him in the past three years.

This thought flashed through Yu Xian's mind, and he couldn't help laughing at himself for thinking too much - Bai Xiaoyuan must have many good friends, there is no doubt about it.Bai Xiaoyuan has a cheerful personality, is good at understanding other people's emotions and is willing to consider others. It is very comfortable to be friends with him.

Yu Xian flipped through a page of notes on the table, but his eyes were a little wandering.

It's useless to think about it, as long as Bai Xiaoyuan's position is still next to him, and Bai Xiaoyuan's home is still close to his own, there is nothing to worry about, he can definitely keep the longest time with Bai Xiaoyuan.

...Thinking about it like this, I suddenly feel a little disgusted, there is a feeling of fighting for favor...

At this time, Bai Xiaoyuan, the main character in his mind, suddenly turned his head and said in a low voice, "Salted fish, can I borrow your physics paper?"

When Yu Xian came back to his senses, his eyes paused on the chemical equation. When he was thinking about other things just now, he didn't even read a single letter.

He curled his lips quietly, cleaned up all his weird thoughts, found out the paper and handed it to Bai Xiaoyuan, who squinted his eyes and smiled at him to express his gratitude, took the paper and buried his head on the desk.

Yu Xian also lowered his head, An Xin looked at his chemistry notes.
