eighth story

Wu Qinyang wondered why Xuanjue replied to the text messages so quickly, and Xuanjue's second text message followed.Just as Wu Qinyang walked out of the teaching building, he was dazzled by the sun, squinting his eyes and blocking the light with his hands, and only then could he see the words on the screen clearly.

Xuan Jue replied: "I just wanted to tell you that this weekend I will go to grandpa's place with my parents and take him to see a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. I'm afraid I don't have time to go out with you. Since there are activities in your class, let's have fun." For a while, stay safe."

Wu Qinyang simply called back, Xuan Jue picked it up quickly, and asked, "Hello? Yangyang, what's the matter?"

Wu Qinyang walked down the stairs in front of the teaching building, his eyes drifted past the French plane tree that was difficult for one person to surround, and then he said to Xuan Jue: "Brother, what's wrong with grandpa? Why do you think of going to see a Chinese medicine doctor?"

Xuan Jue didn't hide anything, and replied truthfully: "Two days ago when my mother called grandpa, he heard that he had a cough. It may have been two or three days. My mother is not at ease. Grandpa said he would not go to the hospital. I My mother said that I might as well find a Chinese medicine doctor. It happened that Xiang Dan’s grandfather is an old Chinese medicine doctor, and she has time this weekend, so my mother said to take my grandfather to see it. Anyway, the two old people are about the same age, so we can chat without seeing a doctor.”

Wu Qinyang said: "That's it, as long as grandpa is fine. Brother Xiang Dan, do you really know her very well?"

Wu Qinyang's tone couldn't help but become a little weird. It wasn't until this moment that he finally discovered the crux of a certain "important matter" that had made him distracted these days. The reason was that it was at the police station, but it wasn't Because of being ordinary, but because of Xiang Dan.

It's not that Xiang Dan is a bad person. In fact, Wu Qinyang also thinks that girls like Xiang Dan are very handsome and cheerful, and it should be a pleasure to get along with them.But the point is that the relationship between her and Xuan Jue seems to be very good. The two of them analyzed the case in a clear and logical way, and their words were very tacit. Xuan Jue seemed to be quite familiar with the situation in Xiang Dan's house. friend.Wu Qinyang thought that when he and Xuanjue went out to eat in the past, Xuanjue would always pick out his favorite dishes from his portion and give them to him, but that day Xuanjue gave Xiang Dan the last fish ball.Wu Qinyang didn't care if he missed a meatball, what he cared about was this kind of behavior that seemed very intimate. He always thought that Xuan Jue would only treat him so well. He thought so for more than ten years, but later found out that it was not. , very troubled.

Wu Qinyang's little classmate and Xuan Jue have been bored for more than ten years, since they were young, they ate and slept together hand in hand and went out to play together, sticky as if they were alone.It wasn't until he stepped into the society, came into contact with the society outside the scope of his family, and got to know more people, that Wu Qinyang realized another long-overdue feeling besides the confusion of puberty, that is, jealousy.

Yes, he was jealous.

This strange mood swing made him feel both sad and annoyed. He firmly believed that "my brother will only treat me so well", and after so many years of being proud of it, he suddenly discovered that Xuan Jue was very likely to treat everyone Everyone is so nice, which made Wu Qinyang suddenly feel cheated.He doesn't like his relationship with Xuanjue to appear on Xuanjue and other people, he doesn't like other people appearing in his relationship with Xuanjue, and even a little extreme, he doesn't want Xuanjue to have too close friends ——Although he knew that this was impossible, he could not ask Xuan Jue to be the only one in Wu Qinyang's world, this was a fact.

Wu Qinyang moved his mouth silently, and suddenly realized that he was caught off guard, and his usual eloquence had become a display at this moment, and Wu Qinyang couldn't even say such willful words as "Brother, can you forget about Xiang Dan?", completely depressed.

No matter how dull Xuan Jue was, he could still hear Wu Qinyang's tone was wrong, and asked strangely, "Yangyang, what's the matter? Are you acting weird?"

The last sentence was a complete step on Wu Qinyang's painful feet, and he was dizzy with anger for a moment.Standing under the winter sun, Wu Qinyang's body fluctuates hot and cold, and he sneers: "I'm yin and yang? Okay! You can go to the non-yin and yang Qingqing, I'll go, I can control it!" Before it was too late Hang up and throw the phone out.

The mobile phone drew a graceful arc in mid-air, and fell to the square brick floor in front of the teaching building with a "snap", the battery and the back cover flew out together, and the mobile phone screen was stuck to the ground, lifeless and silent.

It was time between classes, and there were many students coming and going at the entrance of the teaching building. Wu Qinyang's action of throwing his mobile phone made passers-by stop and turn into onlookers to point and point. Wu Qinyang took a breath, and his fists were creaking. Amidst the whispers of surprise or speculation from the crowd, he walked a few steps quickly, bent down to pick up the broken mobile phone, felt even more irritable, and left without looking back.

On the other end of the phone, Xuan Jue was inexplicable. He didn't realize why Wu Qinyang got angry at all, like a volcano erupting suddenly without warning.Xuan Jue didn't think there was anything wrong with mentioning Xiang Dan. He and Xiang Dan were indeed good friends. After thinking about it, Xuan Jue thought that Wu Qinyang shouldn't be angry because of this matter, let alone Wu Qinyang would just hang up like this. After disconnecting the phone, calling back is already "sorry the number you dialed is turned off".

Xuan Jue was at a loss, he really didn't know what was going on with him, and he was thinking about going to school to see Wu Qinyang, but he didn't expect that he, a small employee who was always busy with nothing, would have a busy day.In order to go to see Shen Heng with Xiao Yunhe on Saturday, Qin Zhi moved the board meeting that was originally planned for the weekend to today. As the son of the chairman, Xuan Jue still has to go to the board meeting, so he didn't care about Wu Qinyang , took the materials and went to the lecture hall.

Going to a quiet library in a fit of anger would only increase his irritability. Wu Qinyang didn't want to be a saboteur, so he went to the playground and smashed the basket several times with a basketball. He didn't bother to eat, so he went back to the dormitory to sleep , By the way, he kicked the body pillow out of the bed.Wu Qinyang originally thought that Xuan Jue would come to school, at least he would ask himself why he was angry, and thought that when he came, he would turn a blind eye to it with a blank face and be particularly cold, but he hung up the phone and waited until the lunch break was over, and never After the lunch break, I waited until dinner, and from dinner until I turned off the lights and went to bed, Xuan Jue still didn't come, and I didn't even make a phone call.

...Although Wu Qinyang turned off the phone himself.

For the first time since returning to China, Wu Qinyang suffered from insomnia.Tossing and turning on the bed, like a pie eager to ripen.

From Tan Yi's bed came the sound of breathing evenly after falling asleep. Wu Qinyang suddenly felt frustrated. He sat on the bed wrapped in a quilt and thought about life.Wu Qinyang sneezed, climbed off the bed, put on a coat, squatted in the corridor outside the dormitory door, and used the lights to do high-level math problems for two hours. Hit the bed and fell asleep.

Fortunately, there was no class the next morning, so Wu Qinyang slept until eleven o'clock, washed his face and brushed his teeth in a daze, and went downstairs to eat curry and bibimbap, breakfast and lunch combined.After hesitating for a long time, I slowly turned the phone back on, and the missed call record was blank. I don't know if the system is set to not record after shutdown or it is just like this.

Wu Qin moved the corners of his mouth, as if laughing at his self-indulgence.After cleaning up a plate of curry and bibimbap as if venting his anger, he only sent Tan Yi a text message asking him if he needed anything to bring back, and finally brought a box of dumplings with pork and fennel.

There are two classes in the afternoon, the first one is mathematical analysis and the second one is sports elective table tennis. After Wu Qinyang returned to the dormitory and packed his schoolbag, he was in a daze. After Tan Yi came back, he mechanically completed the transfer of money.In the afternoon, I paid a class fee of 30 yuan for the mathematics analysis class. I heard from Zhu Mingyue that the social activities will basically be held in Room 216 of the Humanities Building. There will also be a basketball and table tennis friendly match between the two classes. In the evening, everyone can make dumplings and cook dumplings together. The arrangement can be described as rich and colorful.

Wu Qinyang's lack of interest was in stark contrast to Zhu Mingyue's high spirits.It is already mid-December, and January 24 next year will be New Year’s Eve. It stands to reason that the school will be on holiday around January [-], and minus the exam week, there is only half a month of review time left. .What Zhu Mingyue meant was to take advantage of this fellowship and have fun with everyone, and then go all out to prepare for the final exam.

Everyone had no objection, so the matter was settled. Wu Qinyang listened to half of the class obediently, and finally dragged Xuan Jue's mobile phone number into the blacklist.

Out of sight, out of mind, no matter who you are, Xiang Dan, Zhao Dan, Qian Dan, Sun Dan, Li Dan are good friends, my son, I, I, don't care, and you can find whoever you want.

Afterwards, Wu Qinyang went to the gymnasium and had an hour of sparring with the table tennis teacher. After class, he went to the cafeteria to buy noodles with diced eggplant and meat. After eating, he took a shower and forced himself to return to normal work and rest.

It was like this until Saturday—Tan Yi's sentence "Your brother came to look for you during the day" on Friday night fell on deaf ears, and he didn't even notice it.

Classmate Wu seems to be so open-minded—in fact, he is still very aggrieved and continues his school life. He is quite dissatisfied with Xuanjue's actions. It may not be the first time that the two brothers have quarreled over the years, but it is the first time that they will fight each other. The cold war lasted for three full days.Classmate Wu is so proud, how could he give in so easily and bow his head, call back eagerly and say, "Brother is my fault, I am wrong, please don't ignore me", it is simply wishful thinking.

Depressed and annoyed like this, Wu Qinyang went to the sorority meeting with Chemistry 383, and had a life-and-death fight with a buddy in his class in front of the table tennis table, and finally said to the other party, "Oh, fuck it, buddy, we're enough!" It's over, it's time to kill someone again." After the battle, he was triumphant and established diplomatic relations in two shifts. He was jokingly called a new round of "ping-pong diplomacy".

The dumpling fillings are pork, cabbage and leeks. Wu Qinyang went over to make two dumplings. Over there, Zhu Mingyue was already busy putting the first round of dumplings into the pot. The apron, it really looked like that.Wu Qinyang was not very good at making dumplings, so he made a fool of two of them. He pinched and squeezed the edges of the dumplings with water, for fear that they would break when they were put in the pot.At some point, Zhu Mingyue got a little flour on her face, and joked, "Hey, the athlete is hungry? The skill of making dumplings is not very good."

Wu Qinyang said with a smile: "What 'sports master', sir, don't make fun of me."

Someone next to him booed: "Hey, I said Wu Qinyang, do you have a girlfriend? What do you think of our monitor?"

Zhu Mingyue rebuked with half anger and half anger: "What are you talking about?"

"Tell me if the squad leader has a boyfriend~" the man said with a smile, "Wu Qinyang is quite handsome, and the squad leader doesn't think about it? Wu Qinyang is already famous, right?"

Wu Qinyang's heart suddenly went blank, thinking of Xuan Jue, he suddenly stopped talking.

Seeing Wu Qinyang's expression changed, the man hurriedly said, "No way, Wu Qinyang, you already have a girlfriend? You can't tell."

Zhu Mingyue was also a little embarrassed at this time, and said in a low voice: "I told you to stop talking nonsense..."

Hearing what they said, Wu Qinyang thought of clarifying. He adjusted his expression as if he had changed his face in Sichuan Opera, and pretended to be relaxed: "I don't have a girlfriend, I really don't... Don't guess, I just suddenly thought of something Son, distracted."

Another person wondered: "Really? You can lose your mind when you look at such a beautiful woman as the squad leader. Be careful that the squad leader is angry."

Wu Qinyang said: "Really not, you see who I'm going out with right? If I really have a girlfriend, I'll get it out a long time ago, so I don't need to hide it."

When everyone thought about it, it seemed that this was really the case. At this time, the party secretary had already cooked the first pot of dumplings, so everyone stopped entanglement and picked up chopsticks to eat dumplings.
