My green plums are very sour

Even though physics and chemistry courses were added one after another, life in junior high school was not too stressful, and we all coped with it with ease.

My size is the same as my brain, and I jumped up in a very short time, not only catching up, but also surpassing the average level of my peers. Ning Ran said that it was because I entered the puberty period.

Now we are standing together, back to back, almost at the same height.

My mind became brighter, as if everything I saw was very simple.There is almost no need for Ning Ran to re-explain the knowledge points in the textbook after coming down, and I can understand it very thoroughly.

As for things other than textbooks, I also absorbed a lot in one breath like a sponge.Of course, Ning Ran's guidance is definitely indispensable.She still plays an important role in my life.Especially when A Rui's heart becomes wild and she lets herself go.

I remember that not long after the third year of junior high school, my dad and his unit made a big personnel change, which set off a wave of buying out seniority.

A Rui's parents were the first to be affected.

My dad and his generation started working very early. By the time we were in the third grade of junior high school, Uncle Zhou and his wife had worked for almost 20 years.They took a sum of money, found a way to start a business like others.

However, when starting a business, it is not easy. There are too many things to worry about.Uncle Zhou and the others have no other way out. If the money they get from buying out their seniority cannot be used well and the business doesn’t start smoothly, the family’s life will be in trouble.

So during that time, A Rui was almost left unattended, and her parents revolved around business every day, so there was no time for her.

Although Ning Ran and I always cared about her and took turns taking her to our house for dinner, we couldn't take care of everything.In addition, A Rui's personality is relatively outgoing, without her parents staring at her, she is just like a bird out of the cage, and her heart has flown to the sky.

At the beginning, A Rui often didn't move with us, as if she had oiled the soles of her feet, and ran away as soon as school was over.

At first, Ning Ran and I were able to stop her from asking, but she only said that she had an appointment with a friend, and didn't say who it was. After the number of times, we didn't even have many opportunities to talk to her.

Ask Qiu Zicheng, he is even more unclear.

Since A Rui was rarely with us, Qiu Zicheng didn't appear much.Occasionally met him on the road, and he was chasing each other in groups of boys on bicycles.

At that time, I already understood why Qiu Zicheng got angry with A Rui when he was teased by others. He might not care what others said, but he couldn't say the words from A Rui's mouth.

When I thought about how I had suspected something about Ning Ran and Qiu Zicheng, I wanted to go back and put it on my forehead.

If I remember correctly, A Rui and Qiu Zicheng should have reconciled after the basketball game.

I was injured that day and Ning Ran went home early, naturally I don't know what happened afterwards.Everything is what A Rui said.

During the game, because of being too nervous, A Rui reversed the direction of attack and accidentally scored an own goal.It is said that he is still a one-stop layup with the ball, which is very exciting.It would be awesome if it got into the opponent's basket, but it's a pity that she aimed in the wrong direction and threw it into her own basket.At that time, the atmosphere on the scene exploded.Originally, our class led the opponent by two points. After A Rui scored the goal, the two sides returned to the same starting line, and even the slight advantage was gone.

After the women's team finished, A Rui blamed herself so badly that she sat down on the edge of the field and pulled her hair as soon as she finished, worrying that her own fault would affect the final result.

Her worries, however, never materialized.In the end, our class won by a slight advantage of two points.

After the women's team's match, Qiu Zicheng led the men's team to continue the competition.The boys in the two classes were evenly matched in strength, and the score was always tight until Qiu Zicheng hit a mid-range shot in the last three seconds, killing the opponent.

During the post-match celebration, Qiu Zicheng walked up to Ah Rui and pulled her up, stretched out his hands to make a two-pointer, comforted her and said, "I got those two points back for you."

The two are reconciling again.

I guess Ning Ran must have seen something a long time ago, that's why he laughed at that time and said to let A Rui think for himself.

In all fairness, Qiu Zicheng is also a good person. Although he was very annoying when he was a child, he has almost reborn in recent years, and he has begun to look like an adult, much more stable.He and A Rui were able to get together again, and it was quite interesting for the two to quarrel from time to time.

But it's a pity that even I realized it, but A Rui didn't notice it at all.I have to say, she really has a big heart.

I don't remember the exact day when A Rui suddenly said that she had something to do after school and would not go home with us.

At first, Ning Ran and I didn't take it seriously, thinking that she just went out to play occasionally, and even waved to her to remind her to go back early.

Who knew that such situations would happen more and more frequently, we could only meet her when we were in class, and we often entered the classroom by stepping on the class bell.

Qiu Zicheng was cautious, so he would naturally pay special attention to A Rui.When Ah Rui rushed in before the teacher again one day, and dozed off with her textbooks erected as soon as she sat down, Qiu Zicheng finally couldn't help it, and asked her, "Where have you been? Why are you so often missing lately?"

"Don't talk, let me sleep for a while." A Rui's voice was muffled, sounding very impatient.

Ning Ran and I were sitting nearby, and we've been paying attention to A Rui since they came in, and turned our faces to the side when we heard any movement.

"Don't sleep yet, the teacher has come in and is ready for class. He has already seen you." Qiu Zicheng gently leaned on A Rui twice with his elbow, reminding her in a low voice.

"Oh, are you annoying? Didn't I tell you to stop arguing?" A Rui looked extremely sleepy, and raised her head to reveal a tired face.

Qiu Zicheng was yelled at by her inexplicably, and he was stunned, his face was not very good-looking, so he simply opened the textbook and listened attentively.

"What's wrong with A Rui?" I kept my voice in my throat, leaned to Ning Ran and asked her.

Ning Ran was very worried, she frowned and shook her head slightly.

Qiu Zicheng didn't know if he was stimulated, and then he didn't care much about A Rui's affairs, but every day he remembered to collect the homework for A Rui and put it on the table, so that she could grab it and stuff it into her bag when she left.

Ning Ran and I wanted to ask, but A Rui talked about him, laughing and not telling the truth.

This worries us all the more.

On a Friday afternoon more than a month later, the worry finally reached its peak.

When the class bell rang, A Rui's seat was still empty, and when the class teacher walked into the classroom, her figure did not appear in sight.This is not good.

Ning Ran and I turned around and met Qiu Zicheng's eyes, we all frowned and didn't know what was going on.

The homeroom teacher stood on the podium and looked down. It was easy to find that A Rui was not there, and he looked very surprised. He looked at us directly, "Huh? Where's Zhou Sirui? Didn't come?"

I didn't turn my head around, I opened my mouth and didn't know what to say, but luckily Ning Ran was ready to speak.

"She's not feeling well. She took medicine and rested at home, and asked us to take a leave of absence for her."

When I heard it, I couldn't help but look sideways at her, feeling a little anxious.In case A Rui comes again later, how can he explain to the teacher in charge?Everyone is breathless, what if you slip up?

The lie was too risky.

Ning Ran seemed to know what I was thinking, her hand was hanging under the table, she took my little finger and pulled it twice to calm me down.

In fact, I also understand that the situation is urgent now, and there is no extra time for us to come up with a perfect reason, so we can only fool it first.

Fortunately, the teacher in charge didn't go into the details, and after hearing Ning Ran's explanation, he nodded his head slightly, as if it was a fake, and told us to tell A Rui that she should take a good rest, her health is more important.

This level is prevaricated.We were a little relieved, but there was no less worry in our hearts.

No one knows where Ari went.Ning Ran and I are her good friends, and Qiu Zicheng is her tablemate. They should be the ones who know her whereabouts best, but now we have no clues at all.

As soon as the get out of class bell rang, the head teacher stepped out of the classroom, and Qiu Zicheng pushed the chair away to look for him.

"Where did she go?" An anxious tone.

Ning Ran and I both had serious faces and shook our heads at him seriously, "I don't know, she didn't go back with us at noon, and she didn't say where she went."

"Aren't you good friends? Why don't you even know?" He was obviously a little angry, and he patted the table several times.Standing hunched over our table with a height of nearly 1.8 meters, I was a little stressed.

"What if—"

"Wait a minute, there is one more class and it's time for school to end. Let's go out and look for it later. I guess I forgot the time because I was playing outside." Ning Ran frowned and interrupted him, "I'm too anxious now. It's useless, we can't get out of the school gate, the main road is outside the fence, and it's too easy to be found if we climb over the wall."

Qiu Zicheng closed his mouth resentfully, turned his head and looked outside the classroom, but found no one, so he had to listen to Ning Ran's persuasion and return to his seat.

"Do you really think that Ah Rui forgot the time?" Seeing that Qiu Zicheng was a little far away and couldn't hear the voices from here, I asked her, "Does she see that today is Friday and only two in the afternoon?" After school, why don't you come?"

Ning Ran pursed her lips tightly and shook her head slowly, "If that's the case, then it's fine. As long as the person is fine."

"Ugh……"

I looked up at the wall clock on the wall. It was 45 minutes before school ended.
