Talking tablemates chase after me

Ming Xi turned her head and stared at Ding Jinyu's calm profile with wide eyes.

Teacher Song was not surprised by the answer, and asked, "Why did you hit someone?"

Ding Jinyu turned his head and met Mingxi's staring round eyes. He pointed to Mingxi who was also covered in scars, glanced at Wang Lei, and said, "He hit him."

"He fell by himself!" Wang Lei shouted hastily.

"Then why did he fall?" Ding Jinyu remained expressionless and asked a simple question.

Sunlight squeezed in through the slits of the curtains, casting a spot of light on his side face, which just hit the young man's straight nose bridge, making his jaw line even more sharp and beautiful.

But from the moment he uttered the first word, things developed beyond the expectations of others; Ming Xi froze in place, staring at Ding Jinyu's sharp and beautiful side face, and clearly saw every word he said at the same table. When rolling Adam's apple.

There were two other people who were at a loss——

Wang Lei and Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao shrunk his head and lowered his head, his eyes only looked at his toes; Wang Lei's eyes drifted away.

Ding Jinyu didn't say much, but the connection between the cheating incident and the beating incident was almost publicized, and Wang Lei could only stare at Ding Jinyu with resentful eyes in the end.

Several parties were arguing, and the Queen Mother kept crying, and Principal Wang finally came out to smooth things over, "Okay, okay, the general situation has been understood by our school."

After speaking, he raised his eyes and looked in Mingxi's direction, with somewhat disdainful eyes, "Zhou Hao, Mingxi, you two go back and write an [-]-word self-criticism, and show it to Mr. Song and Director Wu, and go after the flag-raising ceremony next Monday. Read it on the rostrum for the whole school."

"As for Ding Jinyu and Wang Lei—" He cleared his throat, looked at the side and pretended to wipe his tears, but actually kept peeking at his Queen Mother, and rubbed his forehead helplessly, "As for the handling of the fight between you two, our school The leadership will hold a meeting and discuss it before making a decision.”

"How can that be done?" Teacher Song was the first to object. "Wang Lei cheated in the exam first, and then bullied his classmates. Ding Jinyu's way of controlling violence with violence is also not advisable. I will not cover up these two people."

"But Zhou Hao and Ming Xi are both victims in this matter, why do we need to conduct a self-criticism?"

"That..." Principal Wang was at a loss for words.

Zhou Hao and Ming Xi, two students with mediocre grades, had no image in his eyes at all. He just wanted to make a gesture in front of Wang Lei's mother to dismiss them and save Director Wu's face. The teacher's stern words refused.

"Then—" He glanced at Director Wu, and asked tentatively, "Let's discuss together during the meeting?"

Director Wu immediately understood, and hastily echoed: "Yes, yes, yes... Let's talk again!"

After finishing speaking, he hurriedly led the Queen Mother outside the principal's room.

In the corridor, Ming Xi was still holding Zhou Hao's arm.

"Ding Jinyu..." He called Ding Jinyu who had strode past him to the classroom, "Whatever happened this time has nothing to do with you, you are here to help me and Zhou Hao, I will go to Teacher Song again ,Do not worry."

"I look like—" Ding Jinyu turned his head to look at Mingxi, "worried?"

"That's not..." Ming Xi shook her head, "I mean..."

"Wait until the results of the preliminary examination come out—" Ding Jinyu interrupted Ming Xi, "You will know if I will be fine."

Ding Jinyu had fights in every school in the past, but his files were always clean, and he didn't even miss a notice of criticism; he saw at a glance that Principal Wang was no different from the previous school leaders, and only had students' grades in his eyes. As for Wu The director is a sycophant who will always agree.

He turned his head and walked forward, thinking how stupid his deskmate was, after staying in No. [-] Middle School for so long, he didn't know anything about the characters of these people.

The next day, the results of the preliminary examination were released, and Ding Jinyu ranked first with a score higher than No.227.

He only glanced at the report card in his hand before crumpling it up and throwing it into the trash can.

In his opinion, the topic this time is too simple, which is not conducive to widening the gap between him and No.2.

"Hey hey——" Mingxi looked at the ball of paper made by the report card and drew a parabola, feeling distressed as if her baby had been thrown away, "Show me! I haven't seen the first grade in my grade yet." What does Shan look like..."

He elbowed his deskmate, smiling brightly, and Ding Jinyu rolled his eyes in exchange.

But he was still very happy.

After the results came out, the results of this farce followed closely. In the end, Wang Lei went to the rostrum to read the review next week, and Ding Jinyu was in charge of the duty work of the class for a week.

Ming Xi has already started to think about where to start when she cleans the classroom in the afternoon.

The days after the exam passed extremely quickly in everyone's anticipation for the [-]th National Day holiday, but the days after returning from the holiday were infinitely prolonged in peace.

The weather began to cool down gradually, and the afternoon sun shone warmly into the classroom, making people drowsy.

The first section of this afternoon was a geography class. Teacher Song was talking about the altitude angle of the sun that had been repeated countless times on the podium.

Mingxi rested her chin on her hand to look at the blackboard, while Ding Jinyu boredly dug out a set of English competition test papers.

"Don't think that I'm too lazy to listen to this kind of topic because I've said it many times. As long as you pass the test, someone will still make mistakes!" Mr. Song's Mandarin pronunciation is correct, and he seems to be very earnest. , Do you think the midterm exam in one month is still far away?"

An afternoon that was so ordinary that it couldn't be more ordinary was broken by the violent shaking of the foreground.

After a few seconds of unexplained and terrified silence, the entire teaching building erupted into screams——

earthquake!

Although I have never really experienced such a strong earthquake, as a provincial key high school, No. [-] Middle School has a total of more than [-] teachers and students. Every semester, there will be a response drill on disasters/events such as earthquakes and fires. .

The scene fell into chaos for a while, but it didn't really get out of control in the end; all classes were evacuated to the direction of the playground under the arrangement of the teacher.

Mingxi lifted Zhou Hao who was already petrified in his seat with one hand, and ran out of the classroom without forgetting to pull the wrist of the deskmate with the other.

Although his tablemate doesn't need his protection, he can really run no slower than a sports student, but Ding Jinyu has always disliked going to places where crowds gather. God knows if his awkward tablemate will also wait for everyone to leave at this time. .

Class [-] is on the top floor of the teaching building. It is located in the middle of the corridor. No matter which stairs you walk up or down, it is the furthest classroom on the whole floor. Gypsum board for the suspended ceiling of a teaching building.

Just as he was passing through the hall on the first floor, another piece of plasterboard fell, the location closest to Mingxi, and a girl running past with her head covered.

The human brain is simply unable to make thinking and judgments at such a critical moment, Ming Xi hardly paused, and pushed the girl beside her away.

When Ding Jinyu heard the sound and turned her head, she only saw the terrified face of the strange female student who was pushed aside, and the plasterboard that fell down wiping her bright arm.

The gypsum board hit the ground and broke into several pieces; Ming Xi's arm was instantly cut with a long cut, and blood had already dripped on the ground.

"Why are you still standing there!" Ming Xi yelled at the frightened girl lying on the ground, clutching her forearm, "Run—"

When he pushed the girl away, his brain didn't have time to react, and at this moment, Ding Jinyu's brain hardly had time to think.

He raised his hand to push Ming Xi and Zhou Hao forward, picked up the frozen girl on the ground, and almost carried him out of the teaching building.

Everyone gathered on the playground, forming a group with the class as the unit, the teacher was busy counting the number of students, and the students all carried their mobile phones to report to their families that they were safe.

Parents have rushed to pick up their children one after another, and those who remained have gradually calmed down under the mutual comfort of teachers and classmates.

A white tent was erected in the distance, which was a temporary rescue point set up by the school infirmary.

Zhou Hao had already been picked up by his parents. Ding Jinyu scanned around, but he didn't see Mingxi within the class area.

The school is now in a mess, and students who do not have parents to pick them up are not allowed to leave for the time being.

Of course, Ding Jinyu would not have any parents to pick him up. When he was fumbling for the phone in his pocket to contact Ding Yinan, he found that the phone was left in the drawer of the desk.

After registering with Mr. Song, he wandered aimlessly on the playground and walked to the white tent of the infirmary before he knew it.

Taking advantage of his height, he looked in from a distance, but he didn't see Ming Xi's figure.

In fact, he has been very worried about Ding Yinan's situation, and now he is more or less worried about where the injured Ming Xi has gone.

The barbed wire on one side of the playground separates the playground from the teaching area, while the wall on the other side separates the inside and outside of the school.

Ding Jinyu walked to the wall and was about to climb over the wall and leave the school to find Ding Yinan, but when she looked up, she saw Ming Xi's back, already climbing on top of the wall.

He saw that Ming Xi was wearing a narrow school uniform jacket, which seemed to have been ripped off from Zhou Hao's body; seeing the other's back disappearing onto the wall, he quickly jumped over the wall to follow.

He followed Ming Xi along the way, brushing a public bicycle at the school gate with his front and rear feet, and the distance he rode was not intentionally extended; he didn't intend to avoid it, but Ming Xi seemed unaware of the stalking behind him.

He rode until the intersection where Ming Xi borrowed a bike from him that night, and he saw Ming Xi throw down the bike and run towards a group of people.

Among the crowd was a thin, middle-aged man with a little girl on his back, and a free hand to support an old lady on crutches beside him.

Ding Jinyu watched as Mingxi ran towards the middle-aged man, took the little girl from behind the man and hugged her in his arms.

The little girl stretched out her hand and kept groping for something on Mingxi's face, while the man and the old lady beside him bent down anxiously to check the injury on Mingxi's forearm.

Ding Jinyu moved a little closer and saw the tears on the faces of the old man and the child. After a while, the four of them finally hugged each other.

From the side, he saw that the bright eye sockets were also slightly red, but there was a smile on the corner of his mouth, coaxing the little girl in his arms.

Anyone who is not blind can understand at this moment that the scene in front of them is the joy of the rest of the family's life after the catastrophe.

Ding Jinyu couldn't hear what Mingxi said to the little girl in his arms, but saw the little girl laughing quickly through tears.

The girl's crooked eyebrows and dimples were almost exactly the same as Mingxi's when she smiled. She should be the sweet smiling child on Mingxi's WeChat profile picture.

It's just that the little girl in front of her is obviously a few years older than the one on the profile picture, and compared to her clever look in the photo, her eyes are somewhat dull now.

Such a small child must have been terrified.

Ding Jinyu thought.

He picked up the bicycle on the ground and rode towards his home.

At this moment, he seems to miss Ding Yinan more than any other moment in the past——

The only person in this world who can still make him feel bound by family.

But Ding Yinan has already moved out of his aunt's house to live alone. He has not been to Ding Yinan's new rented house yet, so he doesn't know where it is, and he doesn't have a mobile phone with him.

When he walked downstairs, he saw Ding Yinan under a ginkgo tree at the door, with his head lowered, leaning against the tree trunk, smoking a cigarette, and beside him was a gentle and quiet girl standing quietly.

"Sister." Ding Jinyu called out.

Hearing the voice, Ding Yinan raised his head, smashed the cigarette in his mouth to his feet, rushed over and slapped Ding Jinyu's arm ruthlessly——

"When did you not answer the phone! I fucking thought you were dead!"

The quiet girl on the side hurried over and pulled the hem of Latin Yinan's coat, and said softly to Ding Jinyu, "Don't blame your sister."

"It's such a big deal, and you still haven't answered your phone, but she's in a hurry." She brushed her long loose hair, and said softly, "The road is in a mess and you can't get a taxi. Follow me all the way."

Ding Jinyu nodded, called "Sister" again, and then stretched out her arms to hug Ding Yinan.
