not brilliant

Jing Can originally thought that Jing Zaixing would definitely call to question him, but unexpectedly, it was Song Yinan who called after a few days.

"I'm trying to persuade your father, but he's still very angry. Xiao Can, don't worry, Xiao Wei will let him continue to attend the winter camp, but I may not be able to help you clean up before school starts."

"Well, it's okay, I don't need to clean up or anything."

Over there, Song Yinan sighed and said, "Your father is too stubborn."

Jing Can didn't speak.This point, he has long been deeply aware.It seems that Jing Zaixing stopped treating him as a child a long time ago. He insisted on his own method and always tried to make Jing Can understand "higher-level" thinking through reasoning.

In fact, when Jing Can thinks about this these past few days, he feels uneasy. According to his understanding of Jing Zaixing, Jing Can must be very angry at the moment.On the one hand, I disrupted his original arrangement without authorization; on the other hand, what made Jing Zaixing the most angry was that he might feel that Jing Can was leading Jing Wei to neglect his duties.

Jing Can can predict what Jing Zaixing will say, he will definitely say, if you want to destroy yourself, I respect your decision, but don't interfere with your brother.

No. [-] Middle School has both boarding students and day students. Before, No. [-] Middle School could leave school during lunch and dinner time.There is a snack street opposite the school, and students who don’t like canteens will choose to buy there.But shortly after the start of this semester, the snack street was ordered to rectify because of the unqualified sanitary inspection of some stores. Qualified merchants supervised by the school.

The school food improved, so Jing Can and He Pingyi no longer went out to eat frequently. They joined the army queuing up in the cafeteria, and rushed to the cafeteria every day after class to grab a meal.Which dish is delicious and which dish is not delicious can be summed up after a long time. He Pingyi and Jing Can are in different classes, so there is always someone who can finish class on time and grab a delicious dish.But sometimes there are accidents. I don’t know what happened to the meal in the cafeteria that night. There are green peppers in almost every dish. Jing Can took the tray and looked around the window, and finally only ordered a scrambled egg.He Pingyi, who was sitting across the dining table, saw his posture, frowned and asked, "Are you trying to lose weight?"

Jing Can picked up the chopsticks and looked at the rice on her plate with a bitter face.

"I don't like green peppers."

He Pingyi lowered his head, looked at the rice on his plate, and understood.

I only ate a little for dinner, of course Jing Can wasn't full, and my stomach was already growling before I finished the first evening self-study.

Jing Can wanted to go to the canteen with He Pingyi to buy some food, but unexpectedly, when she was standing at the back door of Class 21, Jing Can was about to call for someone, but saw another person lying on He Pingyi's table.

A girl was lying there, holding a pen in her hand to write and draw on the draft paper, as if she was discussing something with He Pingyi.But……

Jing Can stared at the two of them, not understanding how to talk and laugh while discussing the topic.But after thinking about it, when they were tutoring He Pingyi at home, the two of them seemed to be like this too.

Jing Can felt a little lost in her heart, but she still restrained herself and stood quietly at the door without saying anything, waiting for He Pingyi to notice him.I don't know if he caught it from the corner of the eye, but He Pingyi quickly turned his head, looked at him and smiled, then got up and walked towards him.

"what happened?"

Just as Jing Can was about to speak, she looked over He Pingyi's shoulder and saw the girl sitting at He Pingyi's table looking at them.

"I..." Jing Can paused, but still said, "I want to go to the canteen, do you want to bring anything?"

He originally wanted to go with He Pingyi, but that girl had been sitting there waiting, so it was hard for Jing Can to say anything.

"You are hungry?"

Jing Can nodded.

"Then go quickly, I'm not hungry, so don't bring me some."

Jing Can didn't dare to glance over at He Pingyi's seat, so she lowered her eyes and responded.

Seeing that Jing Can didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, He Pingyi took the initiative to ask, "What's wrong? What else is there?"

Like so many times, He Pingyi stood in front of Jing Can, bowed slightly because he wanted to get closer to Jing Can, and assumed a good-natured listening posture.Such a posture will always give Jing Can an illusion that only he and He Pingyi belong to the same world.

"What are you doing? Are you giving a lecture?" After silence, Jing Can still asked.

"Well," He Ping agreed, and suddenly smiled smugly, "Didn't expect that someone would ask me a question."

Jing Can tried her best to smile at that time, but her heart was sour, and her smile changed accordingly.

He turned around and walked towards the stairs, and before he had gone a few steps, he suddenly heard He Pingyi calling him behind him.

Jing Can stopped, turned around, saw He Pingyi leaning against the door frame, and said to him, "Bring me a bottle of water."

"Okay." Jing Can raised her voice and replied.

Running to the canteen, Jing Can first went to the shelf to get a bottle of water, and then began to look for food to satisfy her hunger.It's just that she turned around, obviously scanning the shelves with her eyes, but Jing Can didn't seem to have any impression of those products.In the end, I randomly took a piece of bread that was just in sight, and went to pay.He ran back to bring water to He Pingyi, this time He Pingyi was sitting facing the back door, and saw Jing Can at a glance.Before the girl left, Jing Can handed the water to He Pingyi without saying anything.

In fact, it was normal for classmates to have problems, and Jing Can often gave lectures to the female students in the class, but when he returned to class that day, he would always think of He Pingyi talking and laughing with that girl.

"Jing Can, are you uncomfortable?"

Jing Can woke up from his wild thoughts only after hearing Zhou Zhe's voice during evening self-study.

"Huh?" Jing Can shook her head, "No."

Zhou Zhe looked at him for two seconds, then pointed to the pen in his hand: "You broke the cap of the pen."

Jing Can froze for a moment, then looked down at the pen she was holding in her hand.

"Not at all," he murmured.

"What?" Zhou Zhe didn't hear clearly.

"It's okay." Jing Can put the pen and the broken cap into the pen holder with a guilty conscience.

Later, when Jing Can went to find He Pingyi and went for a walk on the playground, she met that girl asking He Pingyi questions several times, and finally one day Jing Can couldn't hold back any longer and asked He Pingyi, "What's the girl's name?"

He Pingyi glanced into the classroom and replied, "Du Weiwei."

After finishing speaking, He Pingyi added casually: "He played basketball very well."

Jing Can was stunned, looked at He Pingyi, and remained silent for a long time.

That night, the two of them worked together at Jing Can's house as usual. The difference was that He Pingyi found that Jing Can was absent-minded all night, staring at the test paper in front of him in a daze.When He Pingyi asked, Jing Can said vaguely, "I'm sleepy."

"Then go early today," He Pingyi looked at the time, "I'll leave after finishing this, you go to bed early."

After He Pingyi left, Jing Can sat alone at the desk in a daze.He turned the knob of the lamp with two fingers, controlling the lamp to turn off and on continuously.Together with light and darkness, there is also He Pingyi's phrase "I played basketball very well."

Jing Can took a deep breath, and threw it heavily into the air, then dropped her head and knocked her forehead on the table.

A small whimper was squeezed out, turned around in the room, and lost track lonely again.

In the silence, a dog barking suddenly sounded outside the window.Jing Can was taken aback for a moment, then straightened up abruptly.

It sounded like a puppy, not loud and very soft.Jing Can got up and ran to the window, opened the curtains suddenly, trying to find the source of the sound.But the night was dark, and with the light of the street lamps, Jing Can didn't see the big and small dogs.He ran downstairs, grabbed a down jacket from the hanger at the door, and went out.Following the sound to the outside of the courtyard, I finally saw a puppy lying there on a stone by the roadside.The whole body of the puppy was white, with two black eyes looking at Jing Can pitifully, and even whimpered when Jing Can approached.

In winter, with such a small dog sitting by the side of the road, Jing Can thinks it should be a stray dog.But this puppy is clean all over.Jing Can observed carefully for a while, and judged that it might be because the puppy was still relatively small and hadn't wandered around for a long time, so it didn't become dirty.

It was the first time Jing Can saw such a small dog so close. He stood there for a long time before tentatively reaching out and stroking the puppy's head.The puppy didn't resist his touch, but closed its eyes obediently, and rubbed its forehead against Jing Can's palm.

Jing Can was captured by this soft and warm feeling all of a sudden.

"You are too cute..." Jing Can carefully touched the puppy's face, "Are you cold? Hungry?"

The puppy kept whimpering, as if asking for his help.

Jing Can was so distressed that he hurried back to the house, found two ham sausages from the refrigerator, and filled a bowl with water.Fearing that the puppy would run away, Jing Can rushed out with the bowl in both hands, spilling a lot of water on the way.

Fortunately, the little white dog was still there, and even seemed to know that Jing Can would feed it, so it squatted spiritually at the position facing the gate.

Jing Can opened the courtyard door and asked it, "Do you want to come in?"

The little white dog tilted his head, didn't move at first, then stood up again, circling in circles anxiously.

"Okay, it seems that you don't want to come in yet." Jing Can put water and food in a hidden place by the side of the road, and said to the little white dog who followed, "Then you can eat here."

Smelling the aroma of the food, the little white dog seemed to relax his vigilance completely and began to eat.

Jing Can squatted by the side, seeing it eating deliciously, couldn't help reaching out and stroking its back.

"Is it tasty?"

The little white dog didn't know whether he understood or what, but he stopped and looked back at him.

"Eat, eat," Jing Can said happily, "Eat more, you won't be cold when you're full."

Jing Can was still wearing slippers and pajamas, although she was wearing a down jacket, it was still a bit cold.But he hadn't been in contact with this little creature for a long time, and he was greedy for a while and couldn't bear to go back.

He picked up a stone from the side, and the little white dog ate, and he wrote and drew on the ground.

First he drew a picture of a puppy eating, then he drew himself, and then he drew a handsome He Pingyi.

Jing Can looked at "He Pingyi" on the ground, squatted for a while, then suddenly put her hands on her knees, and asked the puppy next to her, "Tell me, why did He Pingyi praise Du Weiwei?"

There is no danger in confiding with the puppy. In the dark night, Jing Can finally poured out the words he was holding back in his heart: "Hey, although I don't want to keep thinking about it, but I can't, I can't control it. Tell me Is it too fussy?"

After Jing Can asked, she drew a basketball on the ground and stared at it for a long time.Then he sighed suddenly, and said bitterly: "But, why did you suddenly praise her for being good at basketball... I can also play basketball... Does He Pingyi like people who are good at basketball?"

If this question is further extended, and "people who play basketball well" are equated with "Du Weiwei", then things seem to become a little scary.

Jing Can stared blankly at the little white dog, and muttered in a low voice: "Probably... no. But if not, why did he make a special compliment? I don't understand."

For a long time, Jing Can kept talking to the little white dog, asking it about its own doubts.The little white dog was a perfect person to confide in, it didn't leave after eating, and sat patiently wagging its tail, and even occasionally raised its head and hummed twice, as if encouraging Jing Can to continue talking.Jing Can was so moved that she wished she could hold it in her arms and sing "My Good Friend" to it.

After confessing her heart to this patient little white dog for a long time, Jing Can remembered that her best friend didn't have a name yet.

"Shall I name you?"

Hearing what Jing Can said, the little white dog barked as if he understood.

"What should I call it?" Jing Can had never had a pet before, so she couldn't think of a good idea for a while, and some names popped up in her mind, but they were all too popular pet names like "Little White" and "Little One".

I don’t know whose house set off fireworks in the distance, but there are only a few here and there.Looking at the color in the night sky, Jing Can naturally remembered the fireworks show she and He Pingyi watched at the beginning of the new year.

"Ah," Jing Can suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and lowered his head to discuss with the little white dog, "Can you call it New Year?"

The little white dog ignored him and walked to the water bowl to drink.Jing Can then nodded again for self-affirmation: "This name is good. In the new year, Vientiane will be renewed and full of hope."

Just like after he met He Pingyi.

"Will you come here often in the future?" Jing Can poked New Year's head with his index finger, discussing with his new friend, "I'll prepare food and drink for you, and you just listen to what I have to say."

New Year licked his lips and glanced at Jing Can, as if agreeing to the promise.Jing Can thought for a while, then patted it on the head, and told it cautiously: "Then keep it a secret, don't tell other dogs."
