"It's very difficult for me to fall asleep." Wang Jingyi said: "As long as there is a little sound, I can't fall asleep."
So that's it! Hua Yulin breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's just a little thing. If you mention it, I'll change it. That's fine. Why keep it in your heart and make it difficult for both of us?"
Wang Jingyi said: "But I'm not sure if you are wrong."
"Um?"
"I'm too sensitive." Wang Jingyi buried her head in her chest: "In order not to disturb others, you hid under the quilt. You could hardly hear any sound from outside. Everyone else can sleep well, but I can't. So,
I don’t think you have any problem, it’s all my own problem.”
He is number one in his grade, yet he is humbled to such an extent.
Hua Yulin hugged her tightly without hesitation and said: "No matter if it's your fault or not, as long as you feel uncomfortable, you must speak up bravely. Jingyi, each of us is very precious, you must do your best
Be good to yourself, don't compromise, and don't let others hurt you, do you understand?"
Wang Jingyi hugged her good friend and burst into tears.
No one has ever told her that she is very precious. She has always felt that she is very humble, and she wishes she could be humbled into the dust.
The two returned to the dormitory together, and everyone else was awake and not asleep. After hearing the sound of the two coming back together, someone said: "Jingyi, are you not feeling well?"
Wang Jingyi said: "I'm fine, nothing happened. Let's go to sleep!"
That night, Wang Jingyi slept well for a long time. She had never slept so soundly since she entered high school.
There was a monthly exam the next day. When it was lights-out time, the girls were still reading at night under the covers, reviewing knowledge points. Until twelve o'clock, Hua Yulin could still hear the sound of books being turned. Wang Jingyi on the upper bunk was gently turning the pages.
After getting up, Hua Yulin knew that she couldn't sleep again.
Hua Yulin sat up, deliberately making her voice hoarse, and pretending to be woken up: "It's so noisy, can you all sleep?"
No one responded to her. After a while, Wang Jingyi, who was on the upper bunk, sat up. It seemed that she had gathered up her courage. She said, "I can't sleep either. I keep hearing the sound of books being turned."
Hua Yulin picked up her watch and said helplessly: "It's already past twelve o'clock. You have to get up at five o'clock tomorrow morning. If you don't go to bed, aren't you afraid of falling asleep in the examination room?"
Wang Jingyi echoed: "I just didn't sleep well last time. During the math test, I fell asleep without realizing it. I was so sleepy that I couldn't control myself. I didn't even know I fell asleep."
The super academic came out to explain. The dormitory became quiet, the flashlight was turned off, and the sound of turning books could no longer be heard.
The two lay on the bed again, and Hua Yulin lightly kicked the upper bunk, as if to say - Hey! We work together really well!
Wang Jingyi also waved to the lower bunk, as if to say - thank you, my good friend.
On the second day of the exam, Wang Jingyi was in surprisingly good condition. She had never answered the questions so smoothly. Hua Yulin only wrote her name on the test paper and then fell asleep on the desk. The rustling sound of brushstrokes was the best hypnotic music.
, she slept peacefully.
After the exam, the weekend came. This time, Hua Yulin was not so anxious to go back, but she wanted to eat the food cooked by her aunt and uncle, and the school cafeteria had already had enough.
After much thought, she could only leave her worries to Wang Jingyi.
The two had lunch together, and Hua Yulin whispered: "If there are any letters from me in the past few days, can you keep them for me?"
"sure."
"After receiving it, you have to keep it a secret from me, and you are not allowed to laugh at me. Because... it is a letter written by Zhou Kewei to me."
Wang Jingyi was surprised that these two people, who seemed to be completely different from each other, were already familiar enough to communicate with each other. She murmured, "When did you write him the letter?"
"Just...about three days ago? The day you didn't sleep well for the first time."
"Oh... Then it's been less than three days since you sent it. It's good that he received the letter. How can he write a reply to you?"
Hua Yulin rolled her eyes twice and felt relieved: "Oh, I was too impatient! If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that writing letters is very slow."
"Well... the process of waiting for the letter is indeed quite painful." Wang Jingyi hurriedly changed the topic and said: "Just go home with peace of mind! You will definitely get the letter he wrote to you with your own hands."
This time when Hua Yulin came home, Wang Jingyi asked her to bring some bread to Wang Haochuan as usual. Hua Yulin had eaten a lot of delicious food and had never taken bread seriously. She knew that the Wang family siblings had never eaten good food, so even if
No matter how much bread Wang Jingyi bought, she never laughed at it.
In the school canteen, Hua Yulin recommended other delicious foods to her, but Wang Jingyi stubbornly chose bread. On the way back to the dormitory, Wang Jingyi said: "Are you wondering, I buy it for Haochuan every time?"
bread?"
"I really don't understand it."
"When Haochuan was very young, I threw a big bag of bread..." Wang Jingyi smiled bitterly and said, "Haochuan cried so hard that he beat me for the first time and said I was a bad sister. He
He must have been very sad when I threw away the bread he loved so much. I made an appointment with him at that time, and I would buy him a lot of bread in the future. As long as I had some spare money on hand, I would buy it for him.
Eat the bread. This way, he won't feel too sad."
Hua Yulin said: "Then... there must be a reason why you threw away the bread."
"Well, I just had the concept of 'shelf life' at that time. Those breads were all expired."
Hua Yulin stopped and said angrily: "Who is so wicked? Send you expired bread?"
"An aunt of mine." Recalling the past, humiliation and anger surged into her heart at the same time. Wang Jingyi said: "My brother-in-law and aunt work in Hong Kong City. Their family conditions are good. Every time they come back, they bring me and Haochuan...
Have some food. My aunt is very proud. When she sees us eating, she will sympathize and say, you are so pitiful. You don’t get anything to eat. If I hadn’t bought it for you, you wouldn’t have anything good to eat, right?
"
The more Hua Yulin listened, the angrier she became: "She's not kind, she's giving charity!"
"During the Qingming Festival when I was in fifth grade, she came back again and brought a lot of bread. I was still wondering why she was so generous all of a sudden. I took out two pieces of bread and gave them to Brother Tuesday secretly, because
He usually helps me a lot. He takes apart
The bread smelled strange. He was afraid that I was overthinking it, so he didn’t say anything. But he took a bite and immediately spat it out. He told me, Jingyi, although it’s not good for me to do this, but I have to
Let me remind you, this bread must have expired."
Hua Yulin jumped up and smashed the wall several times. She was very angry: "That aunt of yours is really too much! This is indeed how the bakery sells it. At night, they will put the bread that is about to expire at the door of the store.
Get rid of it at a very low price. Your aunt may only spend a few dollars to buy a big bag of bread... She can just eat it herself, but she gives it to you and your brother. She is not afraid of anything going wrong with you.
Come? How could she do this..."
Wang Jingyi said: "Brother will check the shelf life on Tuesday, and sure enough, the bread I gave him has indeed expired. I was as angry as you. When I got home, I wanted to throw the bread away, but my uncle and aunt were right in front of me, so I didn't dare.
Throw it away. I tricked Haochuan into not eating it anymore and hid the bread. When uncle and aunt left, I threw away all the bread."
"Oh! I'm really annoyed by you! If it were me, I would throw it in front of them! Throw it in their face!"
"I want to do that too, but..." Wang Jingyi smiled bitterly and said, "Haochuan's tuition is paid by my uncle."
…
At that moment, Hua Yulin almost completely understood why her best friend had always been so humble.
Hua Yulin hugged Wang Jingyi, patted her shoulder, and said, "Jingyi, how much you have suffered! From now on, I will protect you."
