Yu Bai's Story - Flowers Bloom on the Other Side for Years
September 2003.
It was the season when tigers showed their power in autumn. When Bai Xiao came out of the piano practice room, she felt a hint of heat that was different from the coolness of autumn.
The school bell rang immediately.
Bai Xiao has just entered junior high school and is a day student. Every evening, the Pei family's car is waiting at the school gate. It is the driver assigned to her by Pei Jinyuan.
As usual, Bai Xiao blended in with the crowd of students and walked to the school gate but didn't see the car that was supposed to be waiting there.
She stood by the flower bed at the door. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on Bai Xi's arms. Due to the high temperature, thin sweat broke out on her forehead.
Bai Xiao didn't know how long she had been waiting, but fewer and fewer people came out of the school.
She went to a middle school affiliated to a certain university in Fengcheng, and the teaching quality was also top-notch in Fengcheng. Many wealthy and wealthy children also chose this school. Cars that were originally parked at the school gate were leaving one after another, but they were never seen.
A car with a license plate she was familiar with.
It wasn't until the sky got dark that Bai Xiao became a little anxious and took out her mobile phone to make a call to the driver.
Although the school clearly stipulates that junior high school students are not allowed to use communication tools, but as long as you are not too unscrupulous, teachers usually turn a blind eye.
After all, the identities of the children studying here are not simple.
The phone rang a few times and was picked up. Bai Xiao just called out "Uncle Zheng", but on the other end was Pei Qiyou's somewhat rough voice after his voice changed: "Stop calling, I have something to do today. Old Zheng will drive for me.
You can take a taxi home."
"..." Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment and subconsciously asked: "What's the matter with you?"
Pei Qiyou looked a little impatient: "Why do you talk so much? Do I still have to explain to you something?"
Bai Xiao heard that as soon as he finished speaking, the girl's soft voice sounded: "Mr. Pei, which one do you think is better? I like both..."
"That's it, don't complain to the old man when you go back, otherwise -"
After Pei Qiyou finished speaking semi-threateningly, he hung up the phone directly. She vaguely heard him say: "If you like it, buy both of them and swipe your card yourself."
Mrs. Pei’s grandson’s junior high school graduation gift to Pei Qiyou was a credit card with no password and no limit.
…
"Bai Xiao, why haven't you left yet?"
Bai Xiao turned around when he heard the sound and saw two girls in the same class who had just finished cleaning, carrying schoolbags and coming out hand in hand, ready to go home.
These two girls live in the community in front of the villa area where the Pei family lives.
Bai Xiao's popularity in the class is not bad, but not good either. She is pretty, has a good family background, has a quiet personality, and has excellent grades. Because she doesn't like gossip, she can't get along with the "common people" because she doesn't usually
He wears luxury goods, doesn't have a credit card or two, and is ostracized by the 'rich gold' group.
The two girls glanced at the temporary parking space next to them, understood immediately, and actively invited Bai Xiao to go home with them.
"It's just that we have to take the bus." One of the girls shyly scratched her short hair.
They had seen it before, and there was a nice car picking up Bai Xiao at the door every day.
Bai Xiao preferred to be with them rather than take a taxi home alone. No matter how precocious she looked, she was actually just a thirteen-year-old girl inside, so she accepted it with a smile and walked to the school with them.
bus stop sign.
It was around five o'clock in the evening, which was the peak traffic period, and both students and office workers were crowded beside the stop signs.
The buses stopped one after another and then drove off. Several little girls could not squeeze in, especially Bai Xiao, who was carrying a violin in his hand. Every time they arrived at the bus door and were about to step on, they were blocked again.
She was pushed aside. Seeing that she was so easy to talk to, others pushed her one after another.
Bai Xiao was wearing a summer school uniform, a white short-sleeved shirt and dark blue shorts. Her long black hair was tied into a ponytail, revealing her smooth forehead. Her skin was white and clean, and she was not covered with acne like other adolescent girls.
smallpox.
Perhaps because the Pei family took good care of her, she was nearly 1.6 meters tall when she was in fifth grade, and she got her period during the summer vacation that year.
Girls her age are still like shriveled green beans, but her physical development has become more like that of a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl.
After finally squeezing into the car, Bai Xiao was knocked around and stomped on her feet. She endured the pain without making a sound.
——I don’t want my classmates to think that I am a fragile daughter.
There were more and more people on the bus, and it was filled with noise and the smell of sweat, which was not pleasant.
"Bai Xiao, why don't you come and sit down!" A classmate grabbed the seat. Seeing that Bai Xiao had difficulty standing, he tried to stand up and let her sit.
"I'm fine."
Bai Xiao smiled at her, grabbed the chair next to her, and was pushed by the person behind her.
In recent years, Bai Xiao rarely took the bus. The Pei family was wealthy and equipped with several cars for travel. The crowded and enclosed space made her feel slightly uncomfortable, but standing and chatting with her classmates like this made her feel happy.
, one of her classmates asked her if she had watched a TV series that was very popular recently.
Bai Xiao rarely watches TV dramas. After dinner, he usually goes back to his room to review his homework or practice calligraphy with Pei Jinyuan.
"The male protagonist in it is very handsome. Last night it was broadcast that the heroine's husband died, but I think it was a fake death..."
Bai Xiao secretly wrote down the name of the TV series. The bus suddenly stopped. When she reached the next stop, she lost her balance and almost fell down.
When the car door opens, someone gets out of the car, and naturally someone gets on.
The female classmate next to her pushed Bai Xiao's arm, winked at her excitedly, and whispered: "Look, there are several handsome guys who just came up."
Next to this site is a university.
Just as Bai Xiao was about to turn around, the car started and her head was hit by someone's elbow, which made her cry from the pain.
"Is it okay?" The classmate looked at her red and swollen forehead, blaming herself and caring.
Bai Xiao was afraid that she would worry, so he shook his head. The conductor shouted from the seat behind: "Go in, don't block the door, go in."
When the car started, there was another burst of jostling and jostling inside the car.
Someone was walking this way, and then there was an extra hand on the pull ring on Bai Xiao's head. It was a man's hand. It was very slender and whiter than the average man's skin. Her back also faintly touched a male body.
Subconsciously, he leaned forward.
Then she heard a narrow chuckle, not from the man behind her, but from the side. She guessed that they were in the same group.
For some reason, Bai Xiao felt that the other person was laughing at him.
Her cheeks and ears suddenly turned red.
"By the way, Bai Xiao, Senior Li said that you will have a performance at the freshman welcome party in October, right?" the female classmate next to her suddenly said.
Bai Xiao said ‘hmm’ and spoke in a voice as light as a mosquito: “It hasn’t been finalized yet.”
"You have the best grades among the freshmen in this class, and you play the violin so well. If you don't get in, who else will?"
Bai Xiao smiled slightly, a little absent-mindedly, and then her back collar was gently pulled off. She turned around and saw a young man next to her with a handsome appearance. He must have just got in the car. He looked at her with a smile and said the next sentence:
It’s: “Have we met somewhere?”
Of course she also saw that there were several men of similar age to him beside her.
Either he was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, or he was chewing gum while wearing earplugs. Another one was looking up at the bus route map, with his hair dyed yellow.
For a moment, Bai Xiao's heartbeat was pounding, not because of excitement, but purely because of fear.
She was only thirteen years old, and although she had no life experience, she had heard many examples of little girls being forcibly dragged away by ruffians, and the fate of those girls was not good.
"Sister, I'm not a bad person, don't be nervous, I just want to make friends with you." The man was still smiling, as if he wanted to come over.
Bai Xiao ignored him, took out her mobile phone, and called her home, asking them to pick her up at the bus station.
The bus suddenly braked suddenly——
The phone fell on the car, and Bai Xiao rushed forward due to inertia, tripped over something, and threw herself into the arms of the man behind her.
He was wearing a white shirt, black casual pants, and a pair of muddy sneakers. While she was grabbing his clothes with both hands, he also put one hand on her shoulder, and the two of them stood back.
Qing, Bai Xiao was fine, but she felt that something hard had hit his back.
The man who just chatted with her whistled and smiled evilly: "Third brother, you are so lucky."
Bai Xiao was about to say "thank you", but after hearing this, he felt that they were all the same, and even more suspected that he had deliberately caused trouble when he fell.
His face turned red, and he immediately left the man's arms and stood still due to panic.
When the bus stopped, Bai Xiao didn't care about anything else and picked up her mobile phone. When the door opened, she said to her classmates, "I have something else to do" and hurriedly ran out of the bus.
The moment the car door closed, the young man who had just whistled was kicked hard. He bared his teeth and immediately went over to please: "Third brother, don't get angry. I was just joking. I didn't mean any harm."
The man called "Third Brother" didn't speak, he just raised his eyes, looked at the girl running away outside the car window, and frowned slightly.
They met for the first time that year, but they didn't know each other. Many years later, at a certain time, he suddenly remembered this scene and this girl named Bai Xiao...
