I raised my head, and Gu Xiwen said with a playful smile: "Why are you so stingy about everything? You are so stingy and indifferent to others, and you can't even bear to eat for yourself. How can any boy grow into bean sprouts after eating them like this every day?
I like you!"
I rolled my eyes at him and said, "I like to eat bean sprouts that grow like this. Do you want to take care of them?"
"That's not okay. I don't care who cares. Eat all of this. Don't leave any of it!" As he said that, he poured the sesame oil chicken and braised fish into my dinner plate.
"Try this sesame oil chicken, it tastes really good!" Gu Xiwen put down his plate and sat down opposite me. He reached out and put a piece of chicken with chopsticks into my rice spoon.
I frowned, and just as I put it into my mouth, a sharp female voice came from my ear.
"What are you doing?"
I turned around, Qin Li looked at me angrily, and Chen Shanshan stood next to her, with a wronged look on her face and a pool of tears in her eyes.
"Shanshan, you're here too? What's wrong? Who bullied you?" Gu Xiwen stood up, looking a little embarrassed.
"Brother Xiwen, didn't you say you wouldn't come to the cafeteria to eat if you had something to do at noon? Why are you eating here with her now?" Chen Shanshan said.
"I finished the paper, and I thought it was already early. Have you eaten? If not, I'll treat you." Gu Xiwen explained.
"Hu Ling, no wonder you don't want to make friends with Shanshan. It turns out that you like to be with boys. It's so shameless. You know how to make fun of yourself in front of boys every day, and you even eat and drink." Qin Li said loudly with a sharp voice.
.
"What are you talking about?" Gu Xiwen yelled at Qin Li.
"Brother Xiwen, Qin Li also wanted to help me. You said you were only good to me in school, don't you remember? You said you wouldn't fall in love prematurely!" Chen Shanshan stepped forward and took Gu Xiwen's arm, with tears in her eyes.
said.
"I'm not wrong. I pretend to be a noble saint every day. Isn't it just playing hard-to-get tricks on boys? It's so shameless. Shanshan bought snacks for everyone in the dormitory and pretended to be so.
You pretend not to eat it, but when you turn around the boy picks up the food and eats it, it’s really a pleasure.”
When Qin Li saw Chen Shanshan grabbing Gu Xiwen, the fuss became more intense. As she spoke, she raised her hand and lifted the dinner plate in front of me to the ground.
The dinner plates made a loud "clang" sound on the ground, and the food was spilled all over the floor. There were many students eating in the cafeteria. When they heard the commotion, a large circle of people gathered around us, pointing at us and talking in low voices.
"Do you know how sad she was when you told Shanshan that you didn't want to be friends with her? She always thought it was her fault that she didn't do well. Let me tell you, it turns out you were secretly hooking up with Gu Xiwen behind her back so you didn't want to be friends with her.
My friend, I have never seen such a shameless person!"
When Qin Li saw so many people watching, she immediately became excited and pointed at my nose and said loudly.
I stood up and looked at Qin Li coldly: "Who do you think is shameless? What does it have to do with who I want to be friends with?"
"Shanshan and I are good sisters, but we can't stand how disgusting you are. If the road is uneven and someone steps on it, I have to tell you that you are shameless!" Qin Li said, puffing up her chest.
I tried my best to suppress the urge to rush up and beat Qin Li, and stared at her, watching her mouth move up and down.
"Qin Li, I never hit girls, don't force me to make an exception!" Gu Xiwen suddenly shook Chen Shanshan away and walked to Qin Li in a few steps.
"I, I" Qin Li's thin body looked like a half-grown child in front of the tall Gu Xiwen. She took a step back, murmuring and not daring to say any more.
"Ah - my feet hurt so much!" Chen Shanshan suddenly screamed. I looked over and saw that she was sitting on the ground, holding her feet and convulsing from crying.
Several boys ran towards her, and Gu Xiwen looked back with a little hesitation in his eyes. The whole cafeteria was in chaos for a while.
The classmates who were watching were pointing at us. In an instant, I seemed to be back in Liuqiao Village, facing the pointing fingers of the villagers.
"Let's go back to the house, nanny!" said the fourth uncle and grandma: "You won't hear those words when you go back to the house! You will not lose a piece of meat no matter what others say, live your own life!"
I turned around, didn't look at anyone anymore, and walked towards the bedroom.
During class in the afternoon, Chen Shanshan and Jiang Meili asked to change seats. Jiang Meili looked at me suspiciously, but she happily agreed without asking any more questions.
When I returned to the dormitory in the evening, Chen Shanshan did not trouble me, but every time my eyes met accidentally, I could see a trace of resentment and unwillingness hidden in her eyes.
Qin Li, on the other hand, said in a weird way that some people in our dormitory know each other well but don't know their hearts, and are dirty and dirty inside. While talking, she looked at my bed.
"Okay, Qin Li, are you bothered? You know what time it is there every day. If you bother others to review again, I will tell the teacher to go. We have to take the exam tomorrow!"
When Qin Li was frothing at the mouth, Wan Hong suddenly yelled at her.
The dormitory fell silent amidst Qin Li's unwilling humming, and the only sound left was the sound of turning pages of books.
Maybe it was because the exam was too stressful. In the next two days, Qin Li didn't act like a monster in front of me again, and I didn't meet Gu Xiwen again. He was a sophomore in high school, so the exam should be more stressful than us.
As soon as the final exam was over, the holiday went directly. I was standing in front of the school waiting for the bus. I heard someone calling me from behind. Gu Xiwen chased me and gave me a note, "Hu Ling, this is my phone number. During the holiday,
You can call me and come out and we can go to the library and read together!"
I held the note and said nothing, and Gu Xiwen said cautiously: "Were you not angry that day? My master asked me to take more care of Chen Shanshan at school. She has the temper of a child, so just ignore her."
"It's okay, I said I don't like her, and I don't care what she does to me." I shook my head and said.
Gu Xiwen added: "Then, let's still be friends. Will you find me?"
I smiled and said, "I thought I might go back to the countryside, let's talk about it after school starts!"
"Then if I have time, I'll look for you. I know where your home is, and the girls in our class know your brother!"
"Let's talk about it, the bus is here, I'm leaving!" I said, turned around and got on the bus directly.
When I got home, I still lived alone in the Tongzi Building. Except for my father who gave me rice and vegetables once on the day I first came back, my parents never cared about me.
After staying for two days, I decided to go back to my hometown. It was the Chinese New Year, and the person I wanted to spend the most with was my fourth uncle and grandma.
My dad immediately agreed, probably because he was afraid that my mom would be unhappy if she had to see me during the Chinese New Year, so he gave me ten yuan to take a ride back to my hometown.
What I didn't expect was that Zong Bao actually called a taxi and took me directly to the countryside. He also bought me a lot of braised vegetables, roasted chicken, etc. and some snacks for me to keep for the New Year.
When we left, Zongbao left me two hundred yuan. I didn't want it, but he insisted on giving it to me, saying that he only had one biological sister, and the money his parents gave him was my money. If he didn't have enough, he would call me later and ask.
