Sunday, November [-] Light rain turns cloudy

First parent-teacher conference in high school.

Unexpectedly, I got the first grade in Chinese in the mid-term exam. Standing outside the classroom and hearing the teacher say my name to the parents of all the students in the class, I really wanted to find a hole to get in.Although I am very happy that I can have such a good result, I don't know how to pass the test, and hearing the teacher's praise feels a bit untrue.

Li Chi was still the same as in junior high school, firmly ranking first in his grade.Ye Aichen's ranking is higher than mine, and we are both among the top [-] in our grade.

I didn't want to stay outside the classroom and wait for the parent meeting to end, so I hung out with Ye Aichen in the school.When we walked to the playground, we circled along the runway, talking about various things while walking.

"I heard that at the end of this semester, we will be divided into classes of arts and sciences. Wu Zi, which subject do you want to choose?" Ye Aichen asked me.

As for which subject to choose, I don't know.My arts and sciences are about the same. I would choose liberal arts. I am not very good at geography. I should choose science. I am also a little confused about biology.

I asked Ye Aichen what he wanted to choose. He thought for a while and said, "Maybe it's science. I feel like I can't remember political history."

There's still half a term left, so I'd like to wait until the end.At that time, I probably knew what to choose.

The sky is gray, the ground is wet, and the chilly wind blows from time to time, I feel a little cold.

Ye Aichen rubbed his hands together and let out a sigh of relief, "It feels so cold."

I didn't wear gloves today, otherwise I could have lent them to Ye Aichen.After shaking hands, I felt that the palm of my hand was still warm. I held Ye Aichen's hand beside me, hoping to give him some warmth.Ye Aichen's fingers are slender, slightly bigger than mine, with calluses from holding a pen for a long time.The clothes he wore had no pockets, and when I touched his hand, it felt like I was touching a piece of cold steel, and the coolness rushed to me all at once.He seemed a little surprised, and shook the hand on my palm slightly.He smiled and said no, and then planned to take his hand away.

I didn't feel that my hands were very warm. After I covered his cold hands, the faint warmth seemed to disappear.I thought about it, then put his hand in my pocket.

"Put it in my bag and keep it warm."

Fortunately, the pockets are big enough to put two hands down, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be particularly warm.

I felt that Ye Aichen's hand was retracted, but in the end he still didn't retract it.

"Thank you." He smiled at me.

I think that a real friend is the one who can help me in need, but I seem to be able to do such insignificant things to repay Ye Aichen who gave me help in need.

Hope he doesn't get offended.

Thursday, November [-]th sunny

Rarely, the weather was fine.

After the parent-teacher meeting, some students in the class said that Hu Lu was going abroad. I heard that it was because his parents were working there and wanted his son to study by his side.I don't know if it's true or not, and I haven't asked Hu Lu, but I feel that he has indeed worked harder than before.

Today it was Hu Lu's turn to clean. Compared with being punished for being late for cleaning, the normal shift seems to be more and more happening to Hu Lu.Hu Lu, who used to always arrive late after the bell rang for early reading, recently always arrives as soon as the classroom door opens, and then sits peacefully in his seat to read the text.

So, is he really going abroad?I had a little guess in my heart.

"Labor committee, check to see if it's all right." Hu Lu leaned on the podium with a broom and said.

I looked it over, and it was basically clean, "Here, there are still some paper balls." I pointed to the seats in the back row.

He stood up without saying a word and walked over, took the broom and swept out the paper balls in the gap, and dumped them into the trash can. "Is there any more?"

It's completely different from when I asked him to clean it before.

"It's gone." I said.

After getting affirmation, he walked to the trash can, raised one side, "Then go take out the trash."

"Ah."

I walked over, lifted the other side and walked with him to the garbage station.

I am also part of the cleaning.

When passing by the corridor in the atrium, Hu Lu suddenly asked me: "Why were you late this morning?"

I felt very ashamed all of a sudden, and whispered: "...I overslept."

I read too late yesterday, and turned off the alarm clock after it rang this morning. I wanted to squint for a while, but I fell asleep. Even my mother just answered casually when she woke up and asked me to eat.Then I woke up suddenly, seeing that it was too late, I dressed in a hurry and rushed to school.When I entered the classroom, my heart was beating fast, and I felt that the whole class was looking at me.Ye Aichen was also a little surprised when chatting between classes, he didn't expect that I was late.

As a labor committee member, responsible for inspecting sanitation and registering the list of latecomers, it is really unreasonable for him to take the lead in being late.

After hearing what I said, Hu Lu chuckled, "It's really inferior." He added a little complacently: "I'm not even late, Labor Committee, you haven't set an example."

When he said that, I felt even more ashamed.

When he was about to get to the classroom after taking out the trash, Hu Lu said, "Labor committee, tell me about geography next night during self-study, I don't understand."

"Oh……"

I vaguely agreed, but my own geography is not good, so let me explain it to him, can I explain it?

After the parent-teacher meeting, we adjusted our seats. Ye Aichen was no longer my deskmate, but was in the row behind me on my right, and Hu Lu was in the "superior row"—a separate seat next to the podium.There is no way, his mid-term exam results are not very good, and he is usually idle. In order to let him concentrate on class and not engage in petty tricks, the teacher transferred him to watch him under his nose.During this period of time, he performed well, and the head teacher also praised him in class, hoping that he will continue to maintain it.

Before self-study last night, Hu Lu changed places with the person next to me, sat down carelessly with a pile of books, opened the book and pointed to a place and asked me how to distinguish the climate.

I frantically turned to the same page of my book, read it, and then explained it to him in a low voice according to my own understanding.

"The main thing is to look at the temperature and precipitation. First look at the temperature to determine the northern and southern hemispheres and climate zones, and then combine the precipitation and precipitation distribution to determine what kind of climate it is. For example, a tropical monsoon climate is..."

I explained it to Hu Lu while reading the notes in the book. He nodded from time to time, and then asked me a lot of questions.

I didn't know some questions, so I had to tell him that I was embarrassed to ask him to ask others or the teacher.

After class, he borrowed my geography book, saying he wanted to read my notes.

"Because of the labor committee, your notes are more complete and clearer," he said.

Although I didn't explain to Hu Lu all the time, but intermittently, there was still more than half of the physics papers that I planned to finish in the first class, so I had to finish it as soon as possible in the next class.

After the evening self-study, I counted today's tasks, put what I had to do when I got home into my schoolbag, and took the previous physics paper to find Ye Aichen.

I didn't know how to solve the last two questions, so I had to ask Ye Aichen, who is better in the assistant department.

"First of all, you have to calculate the acceleration, and then..."

Ye Aichen calculated on the draft paper while speaking, the order was clear, simple and easy to understand, and I understood it in a short while.

After writing down the problem-solving process on the test paper, I couldn't help but praise Ye Aichen for being amazing.

"I'm not very good at it, it's just that you got a little bit off course at the end, so you can't solve it."

Ye Aichen is too modest, I still know how much I know, especially physics, I feel that I almost don't understand what I am learning.

After self-study in the classroom for a while, I packed up my things and prepared to go home with Ye Aichen, when I saw a person running in from outside.Hu Lu stood still in front of me panting, and after he recovered, he put the things in his hand on my table: "It's a good thing you didn't leave, I just forgot to return your book."

I was a little surprised, I didn't expect him to come here to return my book.

"It's the same for me tomorrow," I said.

"What if you want to read it tonight?" Hu Lu took a long breath and said, "Okay, I'll return the book to you, and I'm going back to the dormitory. Are you still going home?"

"Ready to go back."

"Okay, be careful, bye." After speaking, Hu Lu ran away in a hurry.

Ye Aichen came over with her schoolbag on her back, glanced at the one on my desk and said, "Geography?"

I nodded, "I lent it to Hu Lu before."

"Oh." Ye Aichen said, "Let's go."

When I went to pick up the car from the shed, Ye Aichen asked me what I was doing with Hu Lu in the first class.

"It feels like the two of you have spoken in a class."

"Well, he asked me about geography." I replied, then thought of something, and hurriedly asked: "Is it because I speak too loudly?" Did I disturb others?

"No," Ye Aichen said, "It's just that I looked up several times and saw you talking, so I asked. The voice is not loud, don't worry."

"That's good." Fortunately not.

"You and Hu Lu..." Ye Aichen spoke halfway but didn't continue.

"What?" I asked.

After being silent for a while, Ye Aichen said, "You have a good relationship with him?"

"Ok?"

"Look, you talked to him about geography for a class. I remember that you didn't communicate much before." Ye Aichen explained.

"Just...it's okay." I felt a little strange, this should be normal. "He asked me to talk to him when he was taking out the trash, and I agreed, that's all, this counts... mutual help among classmates."

"Ah...oh, um." Ye Aichen said three words in succession, "Yes."

"I don't know if he's really going to transfer schools." Although I think it's someone else's business, I still want to know its authenticity after a long time.

"I don't know." Ye Aichen said, "I don't know where it came from. The teacher and Hu Lu himself didn't say it."

"It feels..." I thought for a while, "It's kind of strange. There are people around me going abroad, and I used to watch it on TV."

"That's true."

After returning home and washing up, I stayed in the room and continued to read, but through the door, I heard the sound of arguing outside.

What do adults fight about?

My lord, you should be mature, wise, calm and rational, you won't be able to mess up your mind with a little thing like us, and you have to fight to the death before you stop.

My parents had already quarreled that night at the parent-teacher meeting.At the beginning it was all good, my mother told my father that I was praised for being the first in Chinese, and then it seemed that my mother casually complained that my father should also go to the next parent-teacher meeting instead of her, and then the two of them were happy and harmonious. The scene turned into a scene of fierce dispute.I didn't understand why this happened, so I had to shut myself in the room and bury my head in the book.

Why today?

I don't know why in the past few years, there are more and more quarrels between parents, big and small, for various reasons.In the past, I wanted to understand the reason in order to ease their previous conflicts, but now I am tired after many attempts to no avail.

I don't want to know anymore.

Are adults like this?

If this is the case, then I'd better not become an adult. After all, even if we are emotional, although we will blush, we will apologize afterwards and get back together, instead of refusing to admit defeat and let the conflict rot in our stomachs. Let it become a big cancer.
