Chapter 16 Forest (Part 2)

Yu Luying's home is a typical old house in Shikumen. When you enter the narrow main entrance, you will live in four or five families, sharing a "soap flake room" (kitchen) and toilet.

It is said that it is a bathroom cleaning, but it is impossible to go to the toilet or take a bath. Apart from wiping the body with a towel dipped in hot water, you can only use a plastic bathtub.

The real Yu-style mother and daughter is a large single room, about 17 or 8 square meters. When you enter the door, you face the statue of the "Holy Mother of Pain" on the wall: In this statue, Mary frowned slightly and pointed her finger at her heart - there were seven sharp swords.

There was a sofa on the side close to the door. There was a small tea table in front of the sofa. Under the coffee table was a bass, facing the square table for dining.

The square table is against the window, and a large bed is close to the innermost corner, with a small prayer table at the head of the bed.

Although this Baroque prayer table is small, it is full of all organs, and it is the most gorgeous and dazzling part of this simple room: in the middle is a pure gold cross, and on the left is a foreign Latin scriptures - there is only a photo of a black and white man, which is a bit out of place.

Yu Luying sat up from the bed, took a cumbersome look at the photo of her father, and lowered her eyelids.

After sleeping, she felt that she was much better, so she turned over and got out of bed, and used her toes to fumble on the floor with her slippers.

She was empty beside her, and it was her mother's bed. As far as Yu Luying knew, people who had been in the first year of high school and still slept on the same big bed with her mother almost did not exist except herself.

The room was very quiet and there was no sound outside the door, which means that my mother probably went out.

Whenever he realized this, Yu Luying felt a little relaxed.

Due to the distance between the buildings and the orientation of the room, although it was daytime, the room was dark - there was not much bright sunshine outside the room to be shared with her, but it did not affect the girl's mood at all.

It would be better to say that she had become accustomed to this dark and quiet, like a young deer lurking in the forest.

What breaks this tranquility is the vibration of the mobile phone.

In the silence, the sound seemed particularly loud, which scared her.

It was indeed Xiao Yao called it, and she subconsciously pressed it off.

There were (4) unread messages. Yu Luying did not click to read them, but directly closed the flip.

Immediately, a cheerful ringtone of receiving a new text message came from my hand.

Yu Luying continued to search for her slippers with her toes, but she never found them.

She lifted her right foot, placed it on her left knee, and gently stroked her palm.

What did he do with his pants?

...She shook her head vigorously, dispelling her imagination and patted her hot cheeks.

Just one sentence, disgusting!

The phone rang again, Yu Luying picked it up, lifted the flip, and removed the answer button with her finger.

At this moment, the door opened with a "click".

It's mom who is back!

Yu Luying subconsciously pressed the phone, mute it, hid the phone behind her, and did it in one go.

"Yingying," Yu's mother shouted outside the door: "Come and help mom get things."

"Here you come!" Yu Luying shouted, knelt on the ground and raised her buttocks, and pulled out her slippers from the bottom of the bed.

"Why are you so slow..." Yu's mother muttered as she entered the door: "Come on me to get the food?"

She turned her head and saw her daughter's hair standing up, her body curled up slightly, and her feet hanging a few centimeters from the ground, as if she was being carried by an invisible hand.

The screams of the mother and daughter filled the entire corridor.

——Separation line—

"Are you okay?" Chen Jie cared about Xiao Yao, who was pale.

"I'm fine, what's the matter? It's sprinkling water." Xiao Yao said in a trembling tone.

He is really a guy who loves to show off, Chen Jie thought.

"I said, is this the first time I took a roller coaster?"

"Actually...yes." Xiao Yao thought for a while and admitted: "I studied in kindergarten, elementary and junior high school in other places, so we don't seem to have such things."

"Ah," Chen Jie was a little surprised: "Are you not a local?"

"My parents are," Xiao Yao explained: "They are both educated youths who went to the countryside and finally settled down in Gangbo. I was the last group of educated youths who returned to the household and got 12 points in the middle school entrance examination."

"It's great," Chen Jie replied casually, "Where are your parents, have you returned to the devil city?"

"No...they are divorced." Xiao Yao's tone was a little sad: "Then they remarried again. I live with my grandma now."

"I'm sorry..."

"What's there to be sorry for?"

The two-person bicycle has been returned, and the boy and the girl walked side by side along the path of the forest park. Xiao Yao put one hand in his trouser pocket, while Chen Jie put his hands behind him.

"When I first came to the Magic City, I was very uncomfortable," Xiao Yao recalled: "I had no classmates and friends in the past. I felt like I was a stranger in a foreign land, and I was particularly lonely."

"Adit for a little bit, and you will soon have a new circle of friends." Chen Jie said.

"I thought so at first...but I was out of place with everything here."

"How to say it?"

"The high school here ends at 4 o'clock, there is no evening self-study, weekend breaks, and there is less homework... My classmates and I told you, why is high school easier than junior high school? People look at me with the eyes of aliens, saying that is it better to be easier in junior high school?"

"Then, isn't this a good thing?"

"It was clearly a key middle school in the district, but the grade director openly encouraged everyone to fall in love at the grade meeting. I was very surprised at that time, but the people around me looked as if they were taken for granted..." Xiao Yao said.

Chen Jie wanted to speak but stopped, and finally said, "So, do you prefer to be more strict?"

"Not that..." Xiao Yao scratched his head: "Maybe I am a person who is more controlled?"

"I can understand, but I can't understand." Chen Jie tilted her head and thought for a while, and said.

"I can't make any friends here," Xiao Yao sat down on the wooden bench next to the road: "I won't go home after school. I always like to stay in school until the doorman drives people... I just want to meet a few classmates who left late and talk to them for a few words, both men and women."

"It's okay, I will be your friend from now on." Chen Jie took out a small bag of wet wipes, wiped the bench, and sat down next to Xiao Yao.

"Friend?" Xiao Yao looked at her and felt that he was still confused about the word "I always talk to my classmates and want to participate in their conversations or activities. Even though I had no money, I always invited others to have dinner, but in the end I was isolated by the whole class."

"Why?" Chen Jie asked in surprise.

"I don't know," Xiao Yao's expression felt a little sad: "How do I know?"

Chen Jie stretched out her hand and touched Xiao Yao's upper arm a few times.

"There is a girl who I invited her to dinner the week before, and the next week I found out that I was isolated, and when I talked to her again, she rolled her eyes at me." Xiao Yao continued: "One time, after school, a boy openly mocked and insulted me in front of seven or eight remaining students, and then others sat there like deafness."

Chen Jie didn't speak anymore, just listened quietly.

"At that time, my blood was pouring up and I was going to beat him up. It was Yu Luying who stood up and told the boy to shut up." Xiao Yao smiled: "Otherwise, I might have been punished for the fight, right?"

"If it were me, I would beat him up for you." Chen Jie pinched her knuckles and made a noticeable sound.

"Thank you," Xiao Yao said: "Ouyang Qianqian said the same thing - it's my fucking sister."

"At least, you have two good friends in the class, don't you?" Chen Jie reminded.

"Well, later I got very close to them, especially Yu Luying, because she and I are both core members of the poetry club. Later, many people agreed that we were a pair..." A hint of happiness appeared on Xiao Yao's face.

"Poetry Club?" Chen Jie didn't understand.

"Poetry, modern poetry." Xiao Yao explained: "The night gave me black eyes, but I used it to find light."

"The person who said this finally killed his wife and committed suicide." The displeasure on Chen Jie's face flashed, and she changed her smile back.

Xiao Yao was stunned: "Don't worry, I won't."
