The next day, after school, she did as usual. After the bell fell, she packed up her books and walked out of the classroom.
When I walked to the classroom and turned to the main branch of the campus, I remembered that I had forgotten to see if the girl from the same village in the class had come out together.
Looking back, with the help of the bright street lights on campus, I saw someone rushing from the east wall of the classroom among the surging crowd. When the person came to me, I discovered, ahem, the girl from the same village.
"I came out late." The girl from the same village came up to me, "I just packed my things, and when I turned around, I found that you were no longer in the classroom, so I quickly followed you out."
Tan Lin looked at the girl from the same village but said nothing. She turned back and looked at the road ahead.
After walking a few steps, I suddenly heard a voice coming from beside me.
"Oh, that's terrible." A girl from the same village exclaimed.
Tan Lin turned her head and looked at the girl from the same village beside her, and found that the girl had stopped and was looking towards her.
"I forgot to wait for Zoey from Class 3." As the girl from the same village spoke, she looked behind her again, "It seems she hasn't come out yet? Shall we walk slower and wait for her?"
Zoey? Who is it? Tan Lin glanced at the girl from the same village, then looked at the crowd coming out behind her, and suddenly remembered what the girl from the same village said yesterday.
Oh, it should be another girl from the same village who often travels with them.
Ahem, she had no memory. She suddenly remembered that she was a girl with long hair.
"Okay." Tan Lin responded, turned her head, and walked forward.
Accidentally, I left early again!!
I'm really not used to this special "companion".
Then I thought about it. After all, I had promised the girl from the same village yesterday. I couldn't be embarrassed today, so I should leave first.
The girl from the same village stayed with her more than ten minutes late yesterday.
Thinking of this, Tan Lin's steps became smaller again.
The girl from the same village paused for a moment, and then followed her: "I guess Zoey should have come out by now. If she doesn't see us in our classroom later, she will follow her."
When Tan Lin heard this, she suddenly wanted to laugh. Was the girl from the same village comforting herself? Or was she explaining to her?
How considerate!
The originally small steps became a little slower.
When I walked to the back of the second grade classroom, I heard the voice next to me ringing again.
"Coming, coming."
Before she could respond, the voice next to her became louder.
"Ruoyi, this way, this way, hurry up, we are waiting for you."
A sudden high-pitched shout caused people on both sides walking towards the school gate to look sideways.
Under such sideways glances, Tan Lin's lips twitched slightly. Are they waiting for her?
Well, this deliberately slowed down pace is indeed waiting for someone.
"I'm sorry," the girl from the same village next to me lowered her voice a bit, "I just raised my voice a lot when I was excited, I will pay attention next time."
"It's okay." Tan Lin responded quietly and walked forward slowly without changing her expression.
To her, the stares from the day students hurriedly walking out on the road were nothing to her.
After all, she was the one who stood in front of the teachers and students of the school more than once, went on stage to receive awards and spoke.
What's more, it's getting late now, and no matter how bright the street lights are, they can't compare to the sunlight during the day. And she is still wearing a hat at this moment. Who would have known it was her.
Even if you recognize him, it doesn't matter. Gu
She doesn't like to greet people casually, she has always been a talkative person.
The girls in the same village said the same thing.
"I'm walking a little slowly today." A voice different from that of a girl from the same village sounded nearby.
Huh? This girl can talk. Tan Lin turned her head slightly and looked to the side of a girl from the same village. A short-haired girl wearing a rabbit ear headband and a long scarf came into view.
Seeing her gaze, the girl looked towards her and smiled: "Go faster tomorrow and keep up with your pace."
Tan Lin said nothing and turned her head.
"What time did you leave yesterday?" A voice rang again nearby.
This voice was not familiar to Tan Lin, but it seemed a little familiar. It was the girl Ruoyi next to Ye Fang, a girl from the same village, speaking.
Didn't they meet each other during the day? Didn't they also go together in the morning?
Like her, do we only go together at night?
Tan Lin glanced at the two girls beside her from the corner of her eye.
In the past, she walked in front by herself, and the two girls followed one or two meters behind. Why did they suddenly walk in parallel today?
It feels a little strange, but it doesn't seem that strange.
"About eight-twenty." Ye Fang, a girl from the same village, laughed, grabbed Zoey's arm, and lowered her voice slightly, "There is almost no one on the road."
"Ah?" Zoey opened her eyes slightly, "That's a bit late. At that time, we would be almost at the entrance of the village, right?"
"Yes, yes," Ye Fang responded repeatedly, "So, we left a little early today."
"Well, it's better to be earlier." Zoey responded with a smile, "I will come out as soon as get out of class is over tomorrow, so that there will be people with me along the way."
"Okay, okay." Ye Fang smiled.
Tan Lin listened calmly and looked towards the campus gate ahead under the dim light. There were neither too many nor too few people in front.
The laughter coming from behind also reminded her that there were some classmates walking out of the classroom behind her.
Well, since the two people traveling with her said that, it didn't matter to her. Tomorrow she would still pack her books at the normal old time, after the ringing stopped for a minute.
Lest another girl traveling with them would have to run all the way to chase them again.
Although I'm not used to having someone to walk with, in fact, to a certain extent, it's not bad. At least, my mother will no longer worry about walking back and forth uneasily at the door, and even think about whether to greet her.
When she saw her last night, her mother looked worried and said that if she didn't come back in five minutes, she would ask her father to go look for her on the road.
She smiled and said that she would never do it again. It was a bit late to leave the school, and she had just accompanied her students to go around to the elementary school and turn back.
Only then did her mother take her bag, relieved of her worries, and watched her push the cart into the yard, then closed the yard door and turned off the light at the yard door.
"Yesterday, Tan Lin was afraid that I would be scared, so she walked an extra mile with me."
The voice of Ye Fang, a girl from the same village, sounded next to her again, bringing Tan Lin back from her wandering thoughts.
Turning his head, he noticed that the two people around him were looking towards him.
Huh? Are they two talking about her?
"Thanks to Tan Lin, it turns out you are so timid," Zoey said with a smile, "I know now, but I didn't feel it before."
Oh, so I was talking about what happened last night.
Tan Lin curled her lips slightly, turned her head again, and unconsciously took a slightly larger step.
The two girls next to her fell less than half a meter away from her. Just like before, the laughter of the two girls could be heard again...
