God said I would meet you

The tit-for-tat confrontation between middle school students is actually often triggered by small things that may not even count as farts.

After school today, he saw this newcomer wandering around Shen Lanxi again, and offered to clean the glass for her.So many students are cleaning here, why don't you help them, but follow behind Shen Lanxi?Don't you mean it?

He was lawless in the first place, and he was used to bullying when he saw anyone who didn't like him, so naturally he couldn't rub the sand in his eyes at the moment.

Xu Zhao saw that Zhang Xinli was called away, and Shen Lanxi also went to the sink outside to wash the rags. There were one or two people around who were still pensively writing questions, and no one paid attention to him at all. As soon as Zhang Xinli took his seat, he was ready to do something.

Last time this guy plotted against him, he hadn't settled yet, and now he couldn't let him go.

He glanced around, reconfirmed that no one was looking at this side, and hurriedly found out the workbooks and notebooks that the teacher assigned homework this week, and combined them into a pile.

Zhang Xinli put these homework on the table, which was easy to find. Then Xu Zhao looked at the heavy rain outside, and walked out with the pile of homework.

In the corridor, Huang Jiayao was mopping the floor with a mop.Seeing Xu Zhao coming out with a stack of test papers and other messy things, he asked him, "What are you holding here?"

Xu Zhao said to him, "Hush!"

Huang Jiayao was even more surprised: "What the hell are you doing? It's so mysterious."

Xu Zhao walked over and piled the pile of things on the table outside the corridor: "Don't tell anyone."

Huang Jiayao glanced at it with his glasses on, and saw the name on it: "Hi," he said, "Isn't this yours?"

The slanting rain wetted the top booklet, Xu Zhao said: "Of course it's not mine, why would I throw mine down."

Although the classrooms in the first grade of senior high school are all on the second floor, they are less than ten meters down, whether it is high or low, but it is raining a lot at the moment, and the ground is full of muddy water, which is still muddy. Dust and fallen leaves, if the paper is soaked like this, it will definitely not be used again.

Xu Zhao was about to push it down, but Huang Jiayao hesitated and called: "...Hey," seeing that the stack of notebooks was about to be thrown down, he hurried over and grabbed Xu Zhao: "Hey, hey, this is too much."

"What," Xu Zhao said, "At worst, I'll pay him back on Monday, and I just want to see him in a hurry for a few days."

"See if he's finished," Huang Jiayao said, "Everyone has finished."

Xu Zhao said nonchalantly: "It's better to do it, let him do it again, isn't it just homework, it's a big deal, I often hand in blank papers."

"Can it be the same as you?" Huang Jiayao said: "Don't go too far, if you don't care about this homework, others may care."

Xu Zhao didn't take it seriously: "What do you think is a small shrimp who can be transferred to the attached middle school? Maybe his father is better than ours. What's the point of missing a day of homework and being expelled? You just eat carrots here and don't worry about it. of."

"But……"

Xu Zhao has always been vengeful, and he has made up his mind, today he must retaliate with an eye for an eye, I will also do a sneak attack if you do it, and you will be treated like a man, whoever is afraid of others.

Huang Jiayao was about to say something, but he heard a question from the back door: "What did you take?"

Huang Jiayao was startled, turned around and saw Zhang Xinli standing at the door, frowning, looking at them.Although he wasn't an accomplice, he was considered not to report the crime, so he became embarrassed for a while, and said, "We..."

Over there, Xu Zhao saw that the master was coming to seize the current situation, not only did he not take down the notebook, but directly did it.

He pushed the pile of things out, but thanks to Huang Jiayao's quick reaction, he hurriedly reached out to grab a handful, and grabbed Zhang Xinli's homework into his arms, stopping him.But there was still a paper that flew out of the corridor, fell in the heavy rain, and floated into the muddy stagnant water downstairs. The white paper was soon completely soaked and transparent.

Zhang Xinli walked over in three steps and two steps, took the stack of things back from Huang Jiayao's hands, and asked at the same time: "Who allowed you to touch my things?"

Huang Jiayao tried to save the situation and said, "I'm sorry, listen to me, he..."

Xu Zhao stopped him, raised his chin and looked at Zhang Xinli, and said, "It's just that I moved, it has nothing to do with him, you can go down and pick it up if you want to use it."

Huang Jiayao was speechless, and said to himself that you are daring, even if you lack a string in your brain, you are too lawless.

Zhang Xinli briefly looked at the things in his hand, and found that most of the workbooks and test papers were covered with large and small rain spots, like pockmarks on a human face, extremely ugly.After flipping through everything hastily, he looked up at Xu Zhao, his eyes became fierce.

"Hey, this..." Huang Jiayao, one head and two big, made a comforting gesture to Zhang Xinli and said, "Well... I know about it... Uh, but violence can't solve any problems, we calmly Think about it and see what the solution is, okay?"

Xu Zhao tilted his head, still provocatively: "What? Do you want to do it? Afraid of you? Don't cry and call Dad!"

Zhang Xinli bent down and put the pile of homework covered with pockmarks on the floor of the corridor that had just been cleaned.

The wind blew faster and harder, and countless tall tree crowns trembled like crazy in the heavy rain.

Huang Jiayao gave up the rescue, he leaned the mop against the window sill, and watched the two people stand closer and closer, sparks sparkled in both pairs of eyes... How about going to the office now to see if the teacher is there?As long as it doesn't go to the flat head, it's fine, at least some adults are brought over to persuade the fight...

At this critical moment, Lin Jinyu's voice suddenly came from behind Zhang Xinli: "What are you doing here?"

Zhang Xinli didn't turn around and didn't move, Xu Zhao stretched his neck and looked behind him: "Whale," he said, "It's nothing, you go in and wait for me for a while, I'll go home after I finish this matter."

Lin Jinyu glanced at Zhang Xinli and walked over suspiciously. Huang Jiayao said, "Uh, that's..." He told the truth: "Xu Zhao threw... his test paper down."

Lin Jinyu's pupils dilated and he was shocked for a second, then his face darkened, and he asked, "Xu Zhao, is what he said true?"

Xu Zhao still had a smug look on his face, claiming credit: "I threw it away, what's the matter, tell him to look awesome..."

Out of the corner of her eye, Lin Jinyu glanced at the homework books on the ground that were rattling by the wind, feeling very uncomfortable.Only he knows that Zhang Xinli's family is not a "background family" at all, because he insists on refusing to take Lin Huainan's money, so all books are paid by his family's own money. Zhang Xinli usually does not eat snacks, drink drinks, or buy any non-essential items. , A pen is squeezed and squeezed again, and it must be thrown away when it can’t write a single stroke. He only chooses the cheapest one for a draft, and writes every page twice. The first time he writes mathematics with black pen. Draft, write English words silently with blue pen for the second time.

If he had to buy those test papers, notebooks, and exercise books again, where would he have to save money?

Xu Zhao said, "See if I don't give him some color."

Zhang Xinli sneered: "Be yours..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Jinyu suddenly said angrily in a voice ten times louder than his: "Are you crazy?" He said loudly to Xu Zhao: "Who told you to mess with other people's things? What right do you have to do that?" ? It’s fine to make trouble once or twice. What’s the matter if you lose other people’s homework? You don’t study because you don’t care. In the future, your family can arrange for you to enter a private company, go abroad, or even not take the college entrance examination. You have many ways You can go, so you can do whatever you want, but have you thought about others? Is everyone like you?"

Everyone was stunned by his sudden attack, and no one spoke for a while.

Xu Zhao was baffled by the yelling, and also became angry: "Why are you yelling at me? Don't you also dislike this guy? It's a good set of principles. I have a way, but everyone is the same as me. Who is different from whom? They all have one nose and two eyes, isn’t it just a paper? Can’t you make a copy? What if you don’t hand it in?”

"It's different," Lin Jinyu said, "It's different."

Xu Zhao said: "No, I let you talk about everything, as if you know him very well. Everyone in the family knows the number of acres of land and the number of cows in the field. Does he know you? Are you here to make a living for him? Personality, you..."

Lin Jinyu said, "I know each other," he said, "We knew each other from the beginning."

Xu Zhao fell silent suddenly, as if his tongue had been chopped off.He hasn't turned his head around yet, and is still digesting the meaning of what he just heard.

Lin Jinyu took a deep breath and said, "Zhang Xinli and I have known each other for a long time. We have known each other since we were in Sichuan. We ate together, took a bath together, and slept together in the rain. The average number of people in his family is a few acres of land. I know a few cows, do you understand?"

As if thinking of something, he rolled up the sleeve of his sweater to reveal the watch on his wrist, and said very seriously: "There is also this watch, Huang Jiayao read it right, it is a pair, we bought it together in the same store in Liangshan Yes, he is my friend and a classmate of the two of us, so...so stop doing messy things that hurt each other!"

Huang Jiayao's eyes moved for a moment, and after thinking about it, he understood what was going on, and showed an expression that was as expected.Xu Zhao struggled to stroke his words, and asked, "What do you mean?"

Lin Jinyu said, "It means literally."

Xu Zhao said, "So you guys have known each other for a long time? He is the one..."

Lin Jinyu said, "Yes."

"Then why didn't you tell me earlier? Who are you playing by pretending you don't know each other? Is it fun?"

"I didn't mean it," Lin Jinyu said, "At that time we... quarreled, so..."

Xu Zhao said: "Whale, are you playing me like a monkey? Do you think it's funny?"

Lin Jinyu was speechless: "No, I'm just...just..." I didn't know how to speak.He said: "I'm sorry, I was thinking about how to tell you, and I didn't want to, I just wanted to find an opportunity to talk about it, but you went too far every time!"

Xu Zhao said: "Who am I doing too much for? Just for me? Since I was young, I never said a bad word about what you like, and I hate what you hate with you. Now come out and say that I am too much?" Seeing Huang Jiayao standing beside him without farting, he stabbed him: "Speak, why are you pretending to be dumb now?"

Huang Jiayao was suddenly dragged into it, he "ah" and said: "...I don't think the whale said anything wrong...you really..." It's a bit too much.

After hearing what he said, Xu Zhao nodded and said, "Okay, it's all my fault, isn't it, Whale, as long as you say that he is your friend, your brother, I won't say a word about him no matter what he does Bad words, don’t say that he likes Shen Lanxi, even if Shen Lanxi likes him, I won’t say anything, because I’m your friend, and now it’s good, I’m the villain, you run out and say you know each other ? What did you do early?"

Lin Jinyu said: "You are right, you are right, so I apologize to you, it is my fault, I didn't tell you, I didn't tell you the truth, can you also apologize to him for your behavior? "

The most innocent person in this farce is actually Zhang Xinli. He hardly did anything, but whether Lin Jinyu was angry or Xu Zhao was angry, most of them were venting on him, so Lin Jinyu hoped that Xu Zhao would apologize to him .

Xu Zhao looked up at Zhang Xinli behind Lin Jinyu, his anger not only did not subside, but doubled, he pointed at Lin Jinyu and said, "None of my business, I'm so blind that I know you, miss me Apologize to him? Wait until he dies." After he finished speaking, he turned around, pushed away Huang Jiayao who had come to persuade him, and left without looking back.

……

Huang Jiayao's head, which had just shrunk, grew bigger again, almost twice as large as before. This, this, this, how does this seem to be more troublesome than it was 10 minutes ago?

Lin Jinyu watched Xu Zhao's back gradually go away and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

He was also feeling uncomfortable, angry, anxious, guilty and irritated. He couldn't tell what it was like. He was annoyed by the current messy situation, but also guilty that he hadn't told him earlier and beeped him, and he was still angry. Xu Zhao's approach is really not very appropriate. Could it be that someone else can just throw his test paper into the rain?

Huang Jiayao comforted him: "Whale, don't take it to heart, he is not..."

"I know," Lin Jinyu said, "I don't blame him, and I don't think it's a problem. Let's talk about it later." He said, "You can send his schoolbag there. It's raining heavily, so go home early."

Huang Jiayao nodded and entered the classroom.

Lin Jinyu let out a breath, pretending it was no big deal, and prepared to take her schoolbag home.He quarreled so much that he forgot that he had stopped in front of Zhang Xinli just now when he rushed up in a hurry, and when he turned around, he bumped into Zhang Xinli with a "bang", which shocked him.

"I'll wipe it," Lin Jinyu's heart was beating wildly: "Can you make a sound, this is the first time, why are you standing behind me quietly again?"

Zhang Xinli looked at him and said, "Obviously you are standing in front of me."

Lin Jinyu said: "I'm too lazy to tell you, if you don't go home, hurry up when you get home, Xu Zhao is gone, I don't have an umbrella, it's all up to you, don't carry my schoolbag and throw down my umbrella and I'll leave It’s over, flick your clothes and hide your achievements and fame.”

Zhang Xinli said, "Oh."

The two returned to the classroom one after the other, and now everyone has gone home, and there is no one in it.Zhang Xinli went to pack his things, Lin Jinyu turned off the light, and when he returned to his seat, he saw that his desk was clean, and Xu Zhao had already put away everything for him, and the zippers were neatly zipped , nothing fell.

He looked at the schoolbag in silence for a moment, and then heard Zhang Xinli calling him home at the door.

Lin Jinyu agreed, picked up her schoolbag and walked out.

"Today I have to take the subway home by myself," Lin Jinyu said, "Grandpa's house has something to do, so Uncle Zhao went to help."

Zhang Xinli nodded, and the two walked out of the teaching building along the stairs, and walked all the way to the school gate.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the crackling raindrops scrambled to hit the ground, and splashed a lot of water, like a layer of white mist.The sky was still gray, and the thunder stopped a lot, but it disappeared.

They only had one umbrella, so they could only lean shoulder to shoulder, stepping on water in the pouring rain.

Lin Jinyu is wearing a pair of newly bought Adidas white shoes today, and he doesn't want to get dirty. He avoids the puddle and mutters: "This rain is really heavy."

Zhang Xinli held up his umbrella, and slightly pointed towards him: "This kind of heavy rain usually doesn't last long, and it will stop after a while."

He has always been reliable in his words, but he missed the rain today. A few minutes later, not only did the rain not decrease, but it was getting bigger and bigger. The wind that had just stopped for a few minutes also picked up. The strong wind and torrential rain caused countless students with their schoolbags to stagger around.

Zhang Xinli tilted his umbrella to keep out the wind and raindrops. The two of them couldn't go on until they reached the station. Lin Jinyu had never seen such a heavy rain in March. They walked to the last intersection with a deep step and a shallow step. , I saw a lot of people chattering around the opening, all holding umbrellas and holding back.

Lin Jinyu stretched her neck to look, good guy, because of the sudden heavy rain, a large puddle of water accumulated at the intersection ahead, and the rain washed up the dust on the ground, making it so cloudy that you couldn't see the bottom clearly.

It was five or six o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the people around here were students from the attached high school after school. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you. No one wanted to take the lead and try out the depth.

Zhang Xinli and Lin Jinyu also stopped in the crowd, intending to wait and see for a while. After a short while, a small-displacement motorcycle passed by. The master was also a top iron. Relying on his raincoat, he turned the accelerator and rushed straight. It was okay at the beginning, the water didn't reach a quarter of the wheel, but it was not like this at all when driving to the middle, I saw the motorcycle's accelerator buzzing, and the water splashed as high as a person, and the master I probably didn't expect it to be this deep at first, and it's too late to retreat now, and slowing down may cause the flameout instead.

He cursed a super-loud swear word, didn't slow down, and rushed forward bravely.The accumulated water covered more than half of the tires, and the driver left behind a series of cursing and swearing, and left with a slam on the gas pedal as if he had gone through a torrent.

Many of the students around laughed. After such a test, the water is not deep or shallow. The deepest part is about a little below the knees, but it doesn’t fall much, and most of the girls are still sleeping. Umbrella was hesitating on the side of the road, but many boys had already started to roll up their trouser legs, ready to show off their skills.

The rain has no tendency to slow down at all. I don't know how long it will take until it stops, and I don't know when it will wait until the water drains. It's getting late, and the two of them haven't had dinner yet. It's not very far, just a few tens of meters will pass.

Zhang Xinli said: "It can only flow through."

Lin Jinyu didn't have the patience to stand here and wait for the rain to stop. He glanced at the opposite side and said unhappily: "That's the only way. Fuck me, these shoes are new."

Zhang Xinli began to roll up his trousers, he said, "Then you will be responsible for opening the umbrella," he said, "My shoes are cheap."

Lin Jinyu said, "Why?"

Zhang Xinli took off the schoolbag and handed it to him, saying, "Carry you."

Lin Jinyu raised her eyebrows and did not refuse. She took his schoolbag and umbrella together, as if she had never been awkward before, she jumped up and onto his back, hugging him very naturally.

Zhang Xinli caught him steadily, put him on his back, stepped down into the water, and braved the heavy rain, dripping forward bit by bit.The water is very cold, with sand and all kinds of small garbage washed up, making people's skin itchy.

Lin Jinyu put her arms around his neck, held an umbrella, and asked treacherously, "Are you not angry?"

Zhang Xinli said, "Why am I angry, I'm not angry."

Lin Jinyu obviously didn't believe it: "Don't be fooled, you are obviously angry," he said, "It turns out that you will also be angry because I ignored you."

Zhang Xinli did not speak, did not refute, but did not deny either.

Lin Jinyu thought of what happened just now. When he went downstairs, he deliberately ran to pick up the test paper that Zhang Xinli had thrown down, but it was too late, it was soaked into instant noodles, and even the rescue could not save it.

He said, "What about your math test paper?"

Zhang Xinli replied with three words: "I don't know."

Lin Jinyu said: "I haven't done the basics yet, I'll take a blank one for you to copy, and you can do it as it is." He paused, and then said: "You seem to have already done it... It's a big deal for me. I'll do it again for you, so you won't be angry."

Zhang Xinli still said, "I'm not angry."

"I'm not happy yet," Lin Jinyu said, "Do you know why Xu Zhao keeps picking on you? Because he likes Shen Lanxi, so whenever you talk to Shen Lanxi, he makes a bad face and tries to find trouble with you. .”

Zhang Xinli said: "Oh." He said: "Mindless and unhappy."

The heavy rain enveloped them, and the heavy rain curtain divided the world into private small pieces. The rain was like a natural sound barrier, and there were other people who were passing the intersection, but no one could hear their whispers. It is water, in this noisy sound of water, it seems that only they exist.

Lin Jinyu liked to watch this animation when he was a child... He hugged Zhang Xinli and said, "Oh what," he asked, "...Do you like Shen Lanxi?"

"What do you ask this for?"

"Just... just ask," Lin Jinyu said intentionally, "You won't even be allowed to ask. Could it be...you have a ghost in your heart?"

Zhang Xinli still did not answer, and threw the question back: "Why do you ask this?"

Lin Jinyu said: "She is pretty, gentle, and has good grades, and she also studies ballet...Everyone likes her. And not only our class, but also many boys from other classes are chasing her."

Zhang Xinli asked casually, "Do you like her?"

"I..." Lin Jinyu was about to answer, when he suddenly realized something was wrong, he moved closer and said, "I'll go, obviously I was asking you, why did you ask me again?"

Zhang Xinli said, "Just ask."

Lin Jinyu thought for a while and said, "She's pretty good, but Xu Zhao likes her, and I don't like what my brother likes."

Zhang Xinli said: "I didn't expect you to be very loyal, but now that you have quarreled, you still consider him a friend?"

"Nonsense, I always talk about loyalty," Lin Jinyu said: "Arguing is nothing. We have quarreled many times since we were young, and we can even fight over which character to choose when playing games. I like to use Kobe. He doesn't think so. Curry was the best, and then we fought tit-for-tat in the room all afternoon, and no one got it right." He began to recall those funny, inexplicable moments of big fights... no matter how fierce the fight was, the fight After that, everyone invariably forgot about it after a few days.

Although the nature of which was not as serious as this time, it was the first time they had quarreled over a third person.

Lin Jinyu said: "You haven't answered my question yet, you just asked me."

Zhang Xinli said: "There is nothing to answer. I have neither fallen in love nor prepared to fall in love in high school."

This was what Lin Jinyu babbled at the bathroom door that day, and Zhang Xinli remembered it verbatim.

"Really," Lin Jinyu was unexpectedly happy when he got this answer, and he said, "Student Zhang, I caught my puppy love, but I will be punished as a treat."

Zhang Xinli lifted him up again, and said lazily, "Understood, the non-staff Director Lin of the teaching office."

This is a rare torrential rain in March. The appearance of La Nina phenomenon brought abnormal cooling and precipitation. Lin Jinyu held Zhang Xinli tightly in one hand and held an umbrella in the other. His shoulders were soaked by the heavy rain. Some of the umbrellas are biased towards Zhang Xinli.

They went back to the common home in the storm.
