"My parents were away from home on weekends, so they took my brother away with them. I was the only one at home."
"By the way, will Shushu go to your house on the weekend?"
"Yingying?"
The words coming to her ears were getting clearer and clearer, and Zhao Xuanying, who was deep in thought, was called back.
The two people who were dining in the cafeteria at the moment were sitting side by side.
It wasn't until Shen Yunli shook her shoulders several times that Zhao Xuanying got out of the silence and looked at her friend who was looking at her with a worried face. After a few seconds, she showed an unnatural smile and asked softly.
"I didn't hear what you just said clearly."
"I asked you if I could go to your house to play on Saturday?"
"okay."
Nodding, Zhao Xuanying moved the kuaizi in her hand, picked up the food and put it into her mouth.
The food that had obviously tasted very delicious before did not taste so delicious now. She was full of worries and just filled her stomach mechanically so that she would not feel hungry during class.
Such an unusual appearance must have aroused Shen Yunli's curiosity. Looking at Zhao Xuanying who was completely different from usual, she hesitated and asked worriedly.
"What happened? Is grandma having another health problem?"
"No……"
"Then what's wrong with you? You've been preoccupied since early this morning. I saw that you were also absent-minded during class, and you didn't pay much attention to the class."
"I'm fine..."
"It's just the two of us now, why can't you talk to me?"
"It's really okay. Come and try this."
Kuaizi picked up the few spare ribs on the dinner plate and quickly handed them to Shen Yunli's mouth as if to block the other person's mouth.
The sudden movement made her unable to dodge, and she looked at Zhao Xuanying who smiled silly and then buried her head in eating...
Although the other party kept saying that nothing happened, her intuition told her that there was a big problem.
The sound in the cafeteria was very noisy.
As time went by, the students who had finished their meals put their used plates in the recycling area, chatting and laughing, and left towards the teaching building.
Friends Zhao Xuanying and Shen Yunli are also among them.
Along the way, Shen Yunli was trying her best to get some useful information from Zhao Xuanying, but her friend who had always talked to her about everything was now determined to keep silent, and her mouth seemed to be covered with glue.
, without any intention of disclosing any information.
Just as the two were about to go upstairs, a shout stopped them.
Following the direction of the sound, I looked towards the door of the music classroom on the first floor, where a familiar figure stood.
At this moment, Lin Nianwei was waving to the two of them with a smile on her face.
"Teacher Lin, what's the matter?"
Compared to Zhao Xuanying who remained silent after seeing Lin Nianwei, Shen Yunli on the side was the first to ask, changing direction and walking towards the music classroom.
And Zhao Xuanying, who was originally following her, also hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward.
The two came to Lin Nianwei.
With a relaxed expression, she looked at the two female students in front of her. After her eyes wandered back and forth between them, she finally landed on Shen Yunli.
He showed an apologetic expression and said please.
"I'm sorry, can you give me something for the teacher?"
"Send something? What to give?"
"Teacher Duan's wallet, she forgot it when she was eating. She just called."
Calling the students specifically to ask them to help deliver things did not seem to be something that Lin Nianwei felt comfortable doing.
So as soon as he finished speaking, he started explaining again.
"Because the teacher has some things to do now, it would be a bit of a delay to go to the cafeteria. Please help the teacher run an errand. Give your wallet to Teacher Duan and ask her to buy snacks for you."
"this……"
"Excuse me, teacher, my feet are sprained today and I can't walk."
As if to apply for the job, Lin Nianwei took two steps casually in front of the two of them. It was obvious that she was twisting and turning when walking.
After all, her foot was injured and it was difficult to move. In addition, the teacher asked her specifically for help. Shen Yunli could not find a reason to refuse for a while.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded.
Lin Nianwei smiled happily when she saw this, took out her wallet and handed it over.
After taking Duan Yining's wallet, he was about to take Zhao Xuanying, who had said nothing, to leave, but the next second Lin Nianwei called out to them again.
"By the way, Zhao Xuanying, can you stay and help the teacher with another favor?"
"..."
"I have something to move, but I can't move it by myself right now."
Seeing that Zhao Xuanying didn't say a word, Lin Nianwei pathetically dragged the swaying road for two steps.
Having made it this far, no current student would be able to refuse easily.
Even now Zhao Xuanying doesn't want to be alone with Lin Nianwei.
But Shen Yunli, who was unaware of the explanation, didn't think much about it after hearing this explanation. She just told Zhao Xuanying that after meeting the class for a while, she took her wallet and trotted back the way she came, towards the cafeteria.
.
The departing figures got further and further away, until after some distance, the two people at the door of the music classroom looked back.
"teacher……"
"Come in first."
After saying this, Lin Nianwei turned around and walked towards the house.
Behind him, Zhao Xuanying could clearly see that Lin Nianwei, who was limping in front of the two of them just now, acted like a normal person and walked with unusual ease.
Zhao Xuanying, who discovered this, froze on the spot. It wasn't until Lin Nianwei leaned out and called her after entering the back of the house that she came to her senses and followed her.
Enter the classroom.
The entire music classroom was cleaned very neatly, and there were no accumulated items that needed to be moved.
It was only after entering the classroom that Zhao Xuanying realized that there was nothing she needed to help carry, and... Lin Nianwei didn't have a sprained foot at all.
"I'm sorry, I have to lie in order to get rid of your friend."
Another deception, although it was just a harmless lie, Zhao Xuanying didn't like the feeling of being deceived very much.
He turned around and looked at the girl behind him.
The conversation she had with Liu Weicheng last night came to Lin Nianwei's mind.
After revealing all the secrets that had been buried deep in his heart, he had an exchange with Liu Weicheng.
Looking at the girl's complicated expression...
The angle of view when looking straight down is low.
"I'm sorry, I lied to you that day."
An apology came from her mouth.
As her voice fell, even if Lin Nianwei did not mention what she was apologizing for at this moment, Zhao Xuanying immediately understood that it was the conversation last Saturday.
Even though a few days had passed, every time she thought about what happened that day, she still remembered it vividly.
Especially the chat with Liu Weicheng last night and the answer the other party left before leaving.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xuanying took a deep breath.
When he looked at the other party again, his eyes were full of confusion.
