Unpretentious campus essay

The first day of the National Day holiday.

At [-]:[-] in the morning, the phone buzzed and vibrated, and Bai Yunjian sat up hugging the quilt.

His eyes were covered with a black-and-white blindfold, and when he pushed his hands to his forehead, the blindfold turned into a headband.

The headband pushed up the thick bangs, and finally no longer blocked most of the eyes.His eyes are inner double, and his eyelids are very thin. When he looks at people seriously, he looks flimsy and sharp.But most of the time, Bai Yunjian feels that the world is boring, squinting to look at things, like a salted fish that has stopped thinking.

After washing his face, Bai Yunjian didn't take off the hair tie, but instead clipped his bangs with clips.He never felt that he was dressed poorly, but what he hated the most was bangs, poking his eyes.

Walking out of the room, Bai Xiu was sitting on the table eating noodles, "The noodles are still hot in the pot."

"Ah."

Bai Yunjian filled a bowl of noodles, and asked while eating, "Mom, shall we go out to play?"

"What's the fun, there are people everywhere."

In fact, Bai Yunjian just asked casually, he knew that Bai Xiu would not go out, and would not agree to him going out to play.

"Then I'll go fishing."

After breakfast, Bai Yunjian washed the dishes, carried the small bucket and fishing rod, and was ready to go out.

"Wait, your glasses." Bai Xiu reminded him.

Bai Yunjian's myopia is more than 100 degrees, and he can see things without wearing glasses. At first, he thought about not wearing them, but since Bai Xiu reminded him, he went back to his room and put on thick glasses.

Before going out, Bai Xiu called him to stop, "Put down your bangs."

"...the headband can also block the forehead."

"You look so handsome wearing a headband." Bai Xiu said with a smile, "Mom is afraid that you will fall in love early."

Bai Yunjian: "..."

Bai Yunjian pulled down his thick bangs, carried a bucket and put up a parasol, and successfully mixed into the fishing team of the uncle by the river, sat on the stone railing without any sense of disobedience, and looked down at the sparkling water.

His mind always thinks about many things at the same time, but fishing can calm him down. He likes listening to the sound of gurgling water, looking at his own reflection on the water, and prefers the moment when he catches a fish after a long time of emptying.

After this fishing, it was noon.Some uncles finished their rods and went home to eat, and some fanatical fishing enthusiasts took out small bread and gnawed on it.

Bai Yunjian caught three finger-long fish, and a black cat leaned over to the bucket, meowing.

"No." Bai Yunjian glanced at Maomao and said flatly, "This is my fish."

The cat stretched out its paws into the water, and the fish was scooped up by one hand before it even touched it.It was a man in gray sweatpants, hugged and petted the cat, and lay down on the railing next to it.

He rested his chin and looked at the river, as if he was fishing among the white clouds.

There are always passers-by watching them fishing, Bai Yunjian is used to it, and doesn't care about his existence.The man took out his mobile phone and sent a few WeChat messages, and suddenly said, "Little classmate, have you seen my cat?"

Bai Yunjian turned to look at him, the man tilted his head to look at him, and smiled slightly.

"...What does it look like?" Bai Yunjian asked.

"Well... Let me think about it. It was stolen by someone. It was only one year old when it was lost, and its fur hadn't grown yet. According to its genes, it should be a white cat. My wife can't forget it and has been looking for it."

"Sorry." Bai Yunjian put away his fishing rod and was about to leave, "I've never seen that cat before."

"Really?" Tang Pingping smiled, "Little classmate, I think you've seen that cat before."

"……why?"

"Have you ever asked yourself, who am I?" Tang Pingping threw a stone into the river, and the reflections of the two people in the water rippled.

This man was strange, and Bai Yunjian seriously suspected that he was going to trick him into some cult in the next second, so he nodded politely, jumped off the railing, picked up the bucket, turned around and left.

Tang Pingping waved at him, "You must have seen that cat, because you are that cat."

Bai Yunjian's footsteps paused, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Tang Pingping. "What do you mean?"

Tang Pingping smiled and said nothing.

A bad premonition welled up in Bai Yunjian's heart, but he didn't lose his footing. He walked forward at a quick pace for tens of meters, making sure that the man hadn't followed, and then ran in the direction of home.

Running across the cement road, then the small stone slabs, passing a row of bicycles and electric vehicles, he saw a police car.

Bai Yunjian stopped abruptly, turned his back and walked out, at the same time took out his mobile phone to call Bai Xiu.

The ringtone was terribly long, the longer it rang, the slower Bai Yunjian walked, as if it had been a century before he heard Baixiu's voice.

"Hey?"

"Mom!" Bai Yunjian called out eagerly, "Where are you?!"

"Huh? I'm in the store. I'm going home soon. What do you want for lunch?"

"You wait for me. Don't go home." Bai Yunjian hung up the phone, threw the fishing rod and bucket aside, stepped on the bicycle, and rode towards Ziyu Fantuan's store.

In the past, he used to ride a bicycle in a leisurely manner, and it took him 10 minutes to ride from the store to his home, but this time, he rode to the fantuan restaurant in only half the time.

"Mom?" Bai Yunjian entered the store panting, there was no customer in the store, Bai Xiu stood walking up and down in the store, saw him coming in, and asked with a trembling voice, "...what's wrong?"

Bai Yunjian didn't speak, but turned around and pulled down the shutter door in the store.

The rolling shutter door cut off the skylight, leaving only the faint light coming in through the escape door in the back kitchen.

"Mom, I want to ask you a question." Bai Yunjian stared at Baixiu's wrinkled face, pushed his glasses, feeling a little out of breath, "When I was very young, I asked you from a crack in the stone. Did it pop out? You said, I picked it up from the trash can. Is this sentence true?"

"...Of course not." Bai Xiu rubbed her hands anxiously, "Why did you pick it up in the trash can. You were born by your mother."

"Then why do I look nothing like you?"

"I've said it many times!" Bai Xiu suddenly exclaimed, "Because I'm old, I'm fat, and I'm black! You are a man and I am a woman. Why do we look alike?! Why do you ask this again? question?!"

Bai Yunjian: "..."

Every time this topic was brought up, Bai Xiu became anxious, aggressive, and nervous. Bai Yunjian could have continued to stimulate her and cheat her, but he never did.

Does he feel sorry for her mother?Maybe there is this reason, and at the same time, he is also afraid of confirming his guess.

Is today a good time?Once he said it, the matter could never be undone, and maybe from then on, he would not have a mother.

"Why do you ask that? Didn't you go fishing this morning?! What did you do? Tell me!"

Trick her.Bai Yunjian thought to himself, I can say that I have gone for a paternity test, or that I have seen the arrest warrant issued by the police, she will always show her feet.

Bai Xiu stared at him, her bloodshot eyeballs bulging, her face shaking rapidly, as if another straw would collapse.

The autumn wind is blowing, flapping the door and window, outside the rolling shutter door is full of traffic and bustle; inside the rolling shutter door is a dead silence, mother and child are facing each other, the faces of both sides are dark and difficult to distinguish.

I don't know how many times, Bai Yunjian compromised.

"When I went fishing, someone said strange things to me. He asked me if I knew who I was." Bai Yunjian paused, "I went home and there was a police car parked downstairs. So, I Come to you. Mom, have you ever done anything illegal before?"

Bai Xiu supported the table and sat on the stool. She grabbed her scalp vigorously, like a broken audio device, her lips opened and closed quickly, and she uttered a vague voice, "What should I do, what should I do, what should I do, here comes Bai Xiuying What to do when it's over..."

"Mom, calm down..." Bai Yunjian took Bai Xiu's wrist and squeezed it a few times, "Listen, we're leaving now, you won't be finished."

Bai Xiu's chaotic voice stopped abruptly, and she stared at Bai Yunjian for a few seconds with tears running down her face.

"Yes... that's right... let's go now..." Baixiu stood up, staggered a few steps to pick up the phone, "I want to contact a taxi..."

"Okay, I'll help you get in touch, where are we going?"

The screen of the mobile phone was turned on, and the faint blue light shone on Bai Xiu's face. She stared at Bai Yunjian in an extremely complicated manner, "No, you stay here, don't follow me."

Bai Yunjian: "...What? Am I staying here?"

"If it wasn't for you..." Bai Xiu didn't continue, but just laughed strangely, "That's the thing I regret most in my life."

"..." Bai Yunjian didn't know what to say, he felt that he should yell at her, why did he regret it, he had done everything a son should do!What is she dissatisfied with!

But he couldn't yell anything, just like a stone statue, standing numbly, watching Baixiu put the money in the store into the bag, and asked her in a low voice, "Then I'm here alone, what should I do?"

Bai Xiu stopped tidying up. "Xiaobai, didn't you just buy a house? You refund it, and the rest of the money will be given to you, enough for you to go to university."

"It can't be refunded, your name is written on the real estate certificate."

"Then stay by yourself, can't you still make money by live broadcasting?" Bai Xiu looked at him, puzzled and relieved, "You are so good, you will always know what to do."

"You were very sensible when you were a child. When other children are rolling around on the floor and relying on toys, you can tell me that you don't need to buy them and save money to pay the rent."

"On your birthday, I asked you what gift you wanted. You opened your hand and said, you want me to hug you."

"Ah... I just remembered, I actually seldom hug you."

Bai Xiu walked over, stood on tiptoe and stretched out her hand, hugging Bai Yunjian.

Bai Xiu hugged her tightly, as if this could make up for the hugs she owed in the past 17 years. Bai Yunjian didn't hug her back, her Adam's apple moved, and said extremely hoarsely, "If I can't take care of myself, you will still be so straightforward." Don't you want me?"

"No if." Bai Xiu said, "I was wrong just now, I don't regret raising you, you are a good boy, I ruined you."

"You should have grown up under the pampering of your parents, with lots and lots of toys, lots and lots of [-]s in exams, and good schools. It's not like now... I'm sorry, Xiaobai."

Under the high pressure, Bai Yunjian appeared extremely calm. He didn't have any extra emotions, and even deduced a conclusion, "Were you a human trafficker before?"

Bai Xiu didn't answer, she opened the back door with her bag in her hand, "Xiao Bai, don't contact me anymore. You go to the police and tell them that your name is Ling Yunjian."

When the door was closed, there was a "bang", Bai Yunjian took a deep breath, it was a very warm smell, the aroma of glutinous rice, meat floss, tenderloin, seaweed, and the sweetness of salad dressing.

Bai Yunjian stood for a long, long time, a tear suddenly rolled down the corner of his eye.So, for 17 years, he has been a thief as his mother, and now he is facing a catastrophe, and was easily abandoned by his mother.So what is he, what has he done all these years?

He took off his glasses and wiped away his tears with his sleeves. There is nothing to cry about. He is not Huang Heyuan. When Huang Heyuan cries, there is always someone to solve his problems. But he is not. Crying is right for him. It's just a waste of time.

"Duang!" There was a knock on the shutter door, "Boss, are you there? Buy rice balls."

Bai Yunjian didn't open the door, and after a while, another man's voice was heard, "Brat, the door is unlocked."

The rolling door opened up, and the dazzling white light came in. Bai Yunjian stood in the light, with a shadow behind him, and he squinted to see a man and a woman outside the door.
