Long grass warbler flying

On the first night of living in school, Ji Xiao unexpectedly suffered from insomnia.

He actually recognized the bed very much, even though the sheets and bedding were brought from home, it was still until two o'clock in the morning.Ji Xiao turned over, facing outside the bed, looking to the other side through the shadowy mosquito net.

The other two roommates in the dormitory also arrived, because there are too many beds in the school, so it is inevitable that people from different classes will mix together occasionally.The other two roommates are both from science classes, wearing thick glasses, and they said hello without saying anything.It seems that although they are easy to get along with, Ji Xiao has decided that he is not the same as him.

He was too lazy to maintain a relationship with his classmates, so he greeted everyone with a smile. After a long time, he became very popular, so he simply continued to be a good gentleman. Anyway, Zhai Xinen also said that it would be best not to offend anyone.

Failed to count sheep again, Ji Xiao sighed.

There is very little moonlight in Jincheng at night. The sun is shining today, but it is still dark at night, and it looks like it is going to rain.Ji Xiao opened his eyes, and Chu Lan's bed was almost within reach.

He had been floating in the clouds and fog for a day, and finally got down to earth after the lights were turned off, recovering from the excitement that could be called a pleasant surprise.They are not very familiar, but it has been a long time, and he has not even figured out whether his feelings for Chu Lan are due to liking, or simply wanting to be close to a good-looking person.

Even as good friends.

Thinking of this, Ji Xiao smiled for no reason. It was because he was so happy that he was almost stupid, Chu Lan suddenly turned over, and he didn't know if it was a dream or something, and hummed softly.

Ji Xiao: "..."

He quickly suppressed all the wishful thinking that had been enlarged in the dark night, and put the quilt over his head, for fear that others would see him as crazy.

His breath was warm and moist, and he was enveloped in darkness, so quiet that only a slight panting could be heard.Ji Xiao closed his eyes, quickly went through the things to do the next day in his mind, and fell asleep peacefully at some point.

There was a little fragrance left on the freshly washed pillow, and even though I still couldn't sleep well, I finally fell asleep.

The next day Ji Xiao was woken up by the alarm clock. He heard the vibrating sound of the mobile phone in a daze, reached out to grab it, and symbolically pressed stop, but this invisible harassment did not end.

Ji Xiao tried his best to open his eyelids, his mobile phone lay quietly beside the pillow, the time he set had not yet come.

He sat up with his short hair blown up by static electricity, yawned, and then dragged the quilt to wrap himself up.The vibration didn't stop, and the two students from the science class were no longer in the dormitory. Ji Xiao turned his head stiffly, and immediately turned to look in Chu Lan's direction.

On the narrow single bed, there is a ball rolled up by the quilt curled up, turning a deaf ear to the vibrating mobile phone, but wrapping itself tighter, as if in this way it can isolate itself from the world.

Ji Xiao stared blankly for a long while, then the vibration paused unwillingly, and he began to change his clothes dumbfounded.

After he finished washing, Chu Lan's alarm clock started ringing through the sky for the second time persistently. This time, the ringtone was changed, and the sound was still heavy metal, for fear that it might not wake people up.

While arranging the textbooks, Ji Xiao looked at Chu Lan's bed, and finally stretched out a feeble hand from the bedding curled up into a ball, and touched it twice like a blind man walking, but still couldn't find the source.Ji Xiao almost laughed out loud.

Chu Lan poked his head out of the quilt as if he had just finished a [-]-mile long march, touched the mobile phone with sleepy eyes, looked down, and most of the drowsiness dissipated immediately, his clothes were neatly folded on the head of the bed, and he changed It's like going to war when you wake up.

Immediately afterwards, it rushed into the bathroom like a gust of wind, and the noise was so loud that it frightened people to death.

When Chu Lan walked in with dripping hair, Ji Xiao was taking out two pre-bought croissants from the drawer, quietly handed one over, and indicated with his eyes that it was for him.

Chu Lan froze for a moment, paused for a moment, and took over.

He didn't drink water when he got up early, and his voice was still a little hoarse: "Thank you."

Ji Xiao bit the horn and said vaguely: "How about I call you later?"

Perhaps he didn't expect him to say that, Chu Lan choked on hot water, his clothes were wet, he grabbed a paper towel and hurriedly wiped it, and said hello out of his busy schedule.

So the first morning was spent in a state of leisure and bewilderment.For some inexplicable reason, he was just waiting to go out with Chu Lan, and when he was halfway there, he suddenly rang the preparatory bell. There were only a few people on the playground. Huo Shi understood the meaning in each other's eyes: "Fuck! We're going to be late!"

Ji Xiao and Chu Lan finally ran into the classroom stepping on the class bell, almost panting from exhaustion, and then took their seats in the last row tacitly under Zhai Xinen's eyes like seeing a ghost.

Most of the classmates are from Chu Lan's class, and many of them are used to this man's footsteps.After Chu Lan took his seat, the students in the front row turned their heads and laughed at him: "Are you late for the school?"

Chu Lan said with a normal face, "It's late."

"Gosh, the wake-up bell at school won't wake you up in the morning."

"Shut up you."

Listening to this bunch of nonsensical conversations, Ji Xiao pretended to be nonchalantly packing up his textbooks, and his heart was already filled with huge waves—this was not the way Chu Lan was in his impression.

The Chu Lan in his impression is more noble and glamorous, and every word is stingy, but there is a faint gentleness and courtesy hidden.How can this kind of person oversleep in the morning, run to the classroom, and then have a harmless argument with his classmates about "being late"?

And also...

"Oh, I seem to have forgotten to bring my textbooks." Chu Lan lowered her eyes and said inaudibly.

Sitting at the same table as Chu Lan, Ji Xiao covered his face. He felt that his beautiful liberal arts career began in a disillusionment.

The head teacher of the new class arrived soon. She was a short but very energetic young female teacher, surnamed Xiao, who taught politics and talked about moral cultivation all day long.Zhai Xinen said that the teacher had taught them politics before, and the students adopted a homophonic name and called her Xiaoyingchun in private.

The new official took office three fires, Xiao Yingchun first adjusted the seats and reshuffled the 36 students in the class.

They are the second class, which belong to the key training objects of liberal arts.About half of the students in the whole class are from the original liberal arts experimental class, and the other half are from the science class and ordinary class.Xiao Yingchun quickly cut through the mess, sorted them by height in a simple and rude manner, except for a few with poor eyesight, and quickly formulated the regulations.

Although Ji Xiao is just sixteen, his height is close to 1.8 meters, and he has to be said to be particularly eye-catching among a group of boys of the same age.He carried his new book and sat in the last row without any complaints. The boy at the same table was the boy who just made jokes with Chu Lan. .

The boy was very familiar, and greeted him enthusiastically: "Ji Xiao, right! Hello, my name is Zhou Yang!"

Ji Xiao was slapped on the back by him, nearly coughing out his lungs, and said with a pale face, "You are fine too...you are very energetic, are you from the basketball team?"

Zhou Yang grinned and bared his teeth: "Brother with sharp eyes, I'm on the school basketball team, let's play together when I have time."

Ji Xiao said yes, and Zhou Yang said to himself: "I seem to have seen you in the rankings before. You used to be in class three, hey, it seems that you are still in the student union? I saw you follow Sister Mo in the last sports meeting coming..."

Sister Mo is the president of the student union in the second year of high school. Ji Xiao nodded: "I often go to help, not the student union." He pointed in the direction of Zhai Xinen and said, "Xin En called me."

Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, and then showed an expression of "I understand".

Ji Xiao: "..."

It's over, he and Zhai Xinen seem to have been misunderstood again.

Just thinking about how to explain, a figure blew towards their seat like a wind: "Ah Xiao, have you had breakfast? My mother insisted on me bringing two more beef buns this morning. They have been hidden in my schoolbag and are still warm. Eat them." ?"

Hearing this familiar voice, Ji Xiao raised his eyes to see Zhai Xinen's face glowing red, and suddenly thought vicissitudes of life, even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he wouldn't be able to clean himself up.

In the end, the two beef buns still fell into Ji Xiao's hands. He was at a growing age, and after half of Chu Lan's breakfast, he was hungry after half a class.

In the spring semester of No. [-] Middle School, the tedious link of the opening ceremony was omitted. During the big break, we went to a meeting under the national flag, and the principal gave a short report, looking back on the past and looking forward to the future.While listening to him summarizing the excellent grades he achieved last semester, Ji Xiao lowered his head and ate buns in small bites. Occasionally, he caught a glimpse of Xiao Yingchun out of the corner of his eye, and hurriedly hid them away.

When Xiao Yingchun walked over, Ji Xiao thought he had been found out about stealing breakfast, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.Unexpectedly, Xiao Yingchun stopped two steps away from him, and patted someone on the arm angrily.

Next to Ji Xiao was Zhou Yang, and when Xiao Yingchun left, he immediately said out of fear of chaos, "Chu Lan, sneaking in again, this is the fifth time!"

The person in front who had just been patted by the head teacher turned his head, and finally there was another expression on his face——he silently cut Zhou Yang into pieces with vicious eyes, his black and white eyes stared murderously, and then said angrily. Turned back again.

Ji Xiao asked Zhou Yang: "You have a good relationship with Chu Lan?"

Zhou Yang said disapprovingly: "It's okay. We were at the same table last semester, and we were late as a duo, haha! Didn't Chu Lan's family live in the first ring road? It's very close to the school, and he still stepped on the spot every day. The teacher in charge said, 'Let the two of you sit together and see who comes later'. Then I got acquainted somehow."

Ji Xiao: "So...he has a good relationship with his classmates?"

Zhou Yang: "It looks good, but in fact, there are not many people who can talk."

The beef bun almost choked in his throat, Ji Xiao felt a little stuffy for no reason.

Zhou Yang and Chu Lan seem to have a good relationship, which makes him jealous.But Ji Xiao thought about it for a long time, and felt that the beef buns were tasteless, but also very regretful.

Because that was the time when he was absent, he didn't know Chu Lan from the beginning.

It's hard to say that others got ahead of me, but when I think about it, I always feel lost.Whether it's the school belle girlfriend before high school, or the first friend at the same table I met in high school, none of them have the slightest relationship with Ji Xiao.

This feeling is actually nothing compared to the embarrassment and humiliation of coming out of the closet before, but before Ji Xiao's depression was even worse, he couldn't eat for several days, and finally admitted that he was a little dark.

And he didn't even tell Zhai Xinen about this unknown darkness, even Chu Lan, the person involved, had known about it for many years.

The course arrangement after the division of subjects has obviously changed. Even though physics and chemistry students still have to attend classes before the official end-of-course exam, the importance has obviously plummeted. However, the number of courses in politics, history and geography has increased, and Ji Xiao is a bit overwhelmed.

Originally, he really liked science more. As soon as the morning class ended, Ji Xiao almost began to think about the possibility of switching to science now.

After sharing this idea with Zhai Xinen, Ji Xiao was mocked severely by her as expected.Rational discussion was no longer possible, Ji Xiao poked the rice with his chopsticks, sighed and said, "I'm still not used to eating in the cafeteria."

In the past, he preferred to buy food and eat out of the canteen, instead of mixing in the army of cafeterias, he would fall at any time because the floor was too slippery, and he had to endure the hustle and bustle of people around him - from this point of view, Ji Xiao found himself Also a bit of a clean freak.

Zhai Xinen turned a deaf ear to it, picked the Chinese prickly ash from the meal and threw it on a paper towel, lowered his eyes and said: "This semester, we will start to rectify the commissary, because the school doesn't want you instant noodle gods to eat junk food all day long, but I suspect it's the canteen contractor's conspiracy. You won’t even be able to sell the bento in two days, so you still expect him to heat it for you?”

Ji Xiao wailed, resignedly fighting against the food in the cafeteria.

In all fairness, the food in their cafeteria is pretty good, cheap and large bowls, with meat and vegetables, all the meat and vegetables are mixed by oneself, except for the slightly sinister dining environment, it is top-grade, Ji Xiao tried his best to convince himself.

He took a bitter sip of the soup, and was about to reason with Zhai Xinen when he suddenly saw a person sitting at a single table by the window.Ji Xiao poked Zhai Xinen's arm: "Chu Lan also eats the cafeteria?"

The implication is that I think that a young master like him should look down on mortal food.

Di Xinen bit his chopsticks: "Yeah, he always eats from the cafeteria...and he always eats by himself."

Ji Xiao: "Ah? Isn't he on good terms with Zhou Yang? Why doesn't he make an appointment to have dinner together?"

Zhai Xinen said with a half-smile: "A good relationship is not the same thing as being friends... Everyone wants to get along well with Chu Lan, and Chu Lan really didn't offend anyone. The relationship between classmates is not bad, but he actually has no friends. "

The chopsticks that had just poked into the rice bowl stopped suddenly.

Because of Zhai Xinen's unintentional words, he suddenly felt a little sad, but it was not because of Chu Lan, but he vaguely felt that this Chu Lan was somewhat similar to himself.

But Ji Xiao would pretend to be nonchalant and adapt to integrate into a group he didn't like, while Chu Lan chose to let her develop and enjoy her solitude.

Later, Ji Xiao thought of every little connection between them, and it seemed like that afternoon, in the noisy school cafeteria with people coming and going, he looked at the silhouette of Chu Lan sitting by the window quietly eating alone, and began to have a feeling "Anyway, I really want to know more about him".
