The phone at home rang, my aunt was burning hot water, my uncle was in the bathroom, Yu Zhouzhou put down his pen and ran to the living room to answer the phone.

"Hello, hello."

"Hey... is it Yu Zhouzhou's family?"

"I am, who are you?"

“…I’m my dad.”

Yu Zhouzhou was quiet for a few seconds, and then continued to say in a calm voice.

"Oh, hello."

...

In the winter of this year, Chen An did not return to his hometown. His work was so far away that Yu Zhouzhou suspected that he had gone to another world, like a migratory bird migrating south, far away from his hometown that was frozen thousands of miles away.

He carefully dialed the number he left behind. Just after two rings, Chen An hung up the phone. Yu Zhouzhou put down the phone. Within half a minute, the phone rang. It was no need to think about it. It was Chen An who called.

Chen An is always very considerate in his work. He knew that Yu Zhouzhou lived in his uncle's house and could save as much telephone bills as possible, so he always called him.

Yu Zhouzhou calmed down.

"Hello?"

“Happy New Year every week.”

"...Happy New Year." Yu Zhouzhou laughed dryly.

"Everything is good in my study and life recently? Is my grandma's situation better?"

"Okay, all are fine."

"Then you have something to ask me, right?"

"Yes," Yu Zhouzhou stared at the thick window flowers on the window, "Just now... dad... called and said he wanted to see me."—

The class for another week after New Year's Day is the final exam.

Lin Yang was eventually kicked out of the team of lunchtime by Lu Yuning and Jiang Chuan.

"Who are you showing Zhong Kui's face?! Eat wherever you should go!"

He was aimlessly wandering in the cafeteria with a plate, not knowing what he was looking for. Rows of empty seats slipped past his eyes, but Lin Yang still couldn't find a satisfactory seat.

Two girls from the first year of high school passed by him in a quarrel. One of them accidentally poured a plate of scrambled eggs with tomatoes all over the floor, and a piece of vegetable soup was splashed on Lin Yangbai's school uniform.

Familiar memories came to my face. Lin Yang stared at the tomato and eggs on the ground for a long time. The girl next to him apologized several times and he had a cold face without responding. The moment the other party was about to cry, he suddenly stood up and ran out of the door.

Yu Zhouzhou's words a month ago made him feel full of enthusiasm for the savior, and Lin Yang told himself that Yu Zhouzhou really didn't need him.

She has her own rich world. She lives so peacefully that in time, she will slowly forget the pain. Just like after graduating from elementary school, he learned the real situation in Zhou Zhou's family through Ling Xiangqian and Jiang Chuan. He felt very distressed for a while, treating her as a little match girl in the fairy tale world, and needs care and protection. But he didn't expect that when he met by chance in junior high school, she smiled so brightly and so freely with other friends in another world.

She doesn't need compensation.

Lin Yang didn't realize until this moment: Maybe she doesn't need herself, but she needs her.

He rushed to the door of Class 7, and in the winter, he ran more than 400 meters with a sprint speed of 100 meters. When he stopped, he held the wall and almost wanted to vomit.

"Yu Zhouzhou didn't come to school today, you're in vain." The girl with short hair leaning against the door was leaning against her big dark circles, as thin as a big smoker. She put her school uniform on her back, facing her back, and her two empty sleeves seemed to be gloating.

"...How do you know I'm looking for..."

"Aren't you chasing her? I haven't seen you for a long time and thought you gave up. Just as I regretted the man's perseverance, you appeared again, it's not bad."

Lin Yang was almost choked to death by his saliva. The decision he made just two minutes ago, why did this girl look like she had known it for a long time? And she said it so bluntly...

"How do you know me..." After thinking about it, his eyes suddenly lit up, "What Yu Zhouzhou told you?"

The girl smiled meaningfully, and Lin Yang suddenly felt a little cold on her back.

"Don't talk so much nonsense, do you want me to help?"

Lin Yang shook his head. It was not that he didn't know how these girls were making trouble. He was chased by a girl from a foreign class who had never seen him so far in junior high school. He didn't care about that girl for face, but the girl's so-called sister was so arrogant that he almost forced him to jump off the building.

"My military advisor is different from those idiot girls," she shook her finger mysteriously. "It seems that you are determined but have no plans. When you are so angry, you will run 700 miles and come here to confess? Tsk tsk, this IQ is really worrying. Just follow your strategy, haha, just chase slowly. I guess I will be almost buried when you two have reached the point where you two have reached the point where they hold hands. If you have a child in the future, I may have paid off my mortgage in the underworld. At that time, I will give my child a name and write it on a blank paper to burn it for me!"

The girl's carefree words almost made Lin Yang bleed on the spot.

"How about it, consider it?"

Lin Yang almost believed this girl by intuition.

"Then, please. Thank you..." he said seriously.

"I don't like to listen to those stupid people," the girl smiled crookedly, turned around and returned to class, and took out three math papers in a few seconds.

"I'll give it to me after I'm done tonight, we'll hand it in tomorrow."

Lin Yang's face turned gray, "I also want to do the history paper?"

"No, no, our history teacher, Mr. Wu Wen and Lu, is not very energetic. This so-called era clue compilation paper is actually copying this thing from beginning to end," the girl said and handed him three other history papers, which were full of words. "Just copy it according to this."

"You are too lazy to copy the paper? Don't you have the answer?"

"Of course I'm too lazy to copy. If I didn't want to be lazy, why would I help you? As Yu Zhouzhou's back desk, I still look down on you. I can help you with it. Do you still have any objections?! You can go back on your word now, I won't stop you, but believe me, if you want to chase her, you will probably have to wait until I get buried."

Lin Yang's mind was in chaos. He could no longer recall how he moved from the canteen to this place and became a contract worker.

"So, for the sake of that bad-faced man Bao, don't cause trouble for me all day long, you just copy the paper and give it to me - do you know who the three written papers you wrote?"

Then Lin Yang picked up the paper and looked at the name column on the side.

Yu Zhouzhou's three elegant and upright characters are sealed in the upper left corner like seal carving.

"I stole it from her desk hole."

Although the girl's voice was weak, she had a loud voice. She shouted openly about this kind of thing, and Lin Yang couldn't help but look at whether there were any acquaintances on both sides of the corridor.

"Remember, before school, it is best to copy it for me when the first evening self-study is over. Don't be late!"

Lin Yang nodded like pounding garlic.

"By the way, my name is Mi Qiao, and I am Yu Zhouzhou's best friend. Uh, it's not yet, it's all in a few days. Remember, follow me and have meat to eat!"

After Micho finished speaking, he coughed a few times, cursed in a low voice, "It's so fucking cold in the corridor", and then walked into the room staggeringly.

Lin Yang walked upstairs and returned to work like sleepwalking in his hand.

Suddenly, I bent my mouth, as if I finally had a sweet goal in my life.

Then I remembered that Micho didn't even ask him what his name was, how could he help him?

Could it be... being fooled, right?

Yu Zhouzhou heard the vibrating sound of his phone, picked it up and saw that it was Lin Yang's text message.

"Are you sick?"

"It should be a cold and a fever, don't worry, nothing big is going to happen."

"Take good medicine, drink more hot water, wear warmer, stop reading, sleep more quickly, be obedient!"

Yu Zhouzhou felt like she was struck by lightning. Without thinking, she replied, "Do you know why Guanyin wanted to strangle Tang Seng to death?"

She believed that Lin Yang must have watched "A Chinese Odyssey".

Lin Yang replied to the text message quickly: "But in the end she still couldn't do it."

Yu Zhouzhou rolled his eyes and fell on the bed.

For some reason, after receiving a call from her father yesterday, she began to have a high fever for some reason at night and felt drowsy. She only subsided a little this morning.

There was a smell of wine on her body. It seemed that my aunt was sitting beside her and rubbing her body, forehead, ears, neck, palms, soles of her feet all night... and over again, trying to cool down with the oldest method. Yu Zhouzhou felt that her mother was back in a daze. When she had chickenpox in the third year of junior high school, she had a high fever for a week. It was also like this drowsy midnight. The figures beside the bed were blurred, but she had such gentle hands. She held them and never wanted to let go again.

She cried all night without realizing it.

My father said on the phone that he hoped Yu Zhouzhou could celebrate the New Year with them. At that time, she refused on her own initiative before she called Chen An. The other party was silent for a while on the phone and said, "I have to go on a business trip before and after the New Year, and only the New Year is more time."

Yu Zhouzhou suddenly wanted to laugh, "Is that true? But during the Chinese New Year, I don't have time."

The other end of the phone was quiet for a while, "Okay, I'll contact you again after the New Year. Study hard and pay attention to your health."

"Thank you, goodbye."

After dreaming at midnight, Yu Zhouzhou admitted in her heart that she was happy.

She didn't tell Chen An that she was so excited that she was eager for revenge that she was shocked. Even when the fever was not over, she was still eager to get up - although she didn't know what to do to get up.

It turns out that I still have an obsession and want to do something, even if I just slap, say a harsh word, or insult and show off in the most secular way.

She wanted to see him and them. She was now in a state of retreat, and she was in a desperate situation, without anybody worth worrying about and caring about, except herself.

Yu Zhouzhou knew that at that moment, she was willing to make a suicide bomb.

She waited for the moment when the leads were ignited-

Xin Rui was almost frozen on the bus, and had no choice but to give up his seat and stood up and jumped twice to try to recover.

The gorgeous neon lights outside the window hit the thick window flowers, reflecting the overflowing brilliance. In today's foreign teacher class, she completed a complete set of special exercises to analyze geometry until she saw the coordinate axis and wanted to vomit.

In the music class, when the teacher used a large screen to watch the clips, she kept holding the notes that copied idioms and English word phrases and lowered her head and me, as if she was possessed. Not to mention the physical education and exercises that she escaped every now and then. Only in the foreign teacher class, she spoke actively because she felt that speaking English is an important skill and storefront.

Facade. Make yourself "high-end" and become the facade of girls like Yu Zhouzhou and Ling Xiangqian.
