Chapter 6 The thorny rose

"No, no, Tulong didn't say anything. By the way, our class leader will run tomorrow, are you going to participate?" In order to avoid unnecessary embarrassment, Nishino changed the topic.

"I don't go, my grades are not very good, and I'm not interested, that's what the activists do." He Yan shook his head.

"I don't want to go either, and my grades are not good. Teacher Geng doesn't like me, and he seems to look down on us students with specialist materials." When he mentioned Teacher Geng, Xi'ao felt a little unhappy.

Then he repeated the unpleasantness that happened when he was carrying the information in the morning and Tulong, and he was depressed to He Yan.

"It's normal. Who told you that your grades are not as good as others. We come here to tutor for ourselves and our family. Don't care too much about others' opinions. The important thing is that you should be able to respect yourself. As long as your score is raised and you make progress, Teacher Geng will pay attention to you." Unexpectedly, He Yan didn't take the so-called "unpleasantness" that Nishino said at all.

"That's right, I'll be the one who has been separated for three days. I should treat you with admiration. I want to be the Amon of Wu!" Nishino regained his confidence and raised his left hand and said.

"I ambitious! I believe you, let's work together!" He Yan's voice was not high, his hot eyes were full of firmness and confidence, and his plump lips were full of expectations. "Be yourself first, then be someone else, and a miracle will appear on you."

"Hemingway said very well in "The Old Man and the Sea": People are not born for failure. A person can be destroyed, but cannot be defeated."

"Who is Hemingway? Is it from China? Why don't I know, tell me about him." He Yan first heard about Hemingway, and was in a fog.

"No, the Chinese writer who won the Nobel Prize in Literature has not been born yet? Didn't your Chinese teacher tell you about Hemingway?" Nishino became excited when he talked about the "tough guy" Hemingway.

"Yes, if the teacher says it, why are you asking? Don't beat around the bush and make me feel happy, okay?" He Yan's clear eyes, like a pool of autumn water, looked straight at Xiye, which made him feel a little uncomfortable because this was the first time in his life that he had looked at the girl he liked hotly.

"Wow, it's so amazing. Can you say it's more detailed?" He Yan is also a literary enthusiast. He often won the first place in the school district composition competition when he was in elementary school.

"Hemingway won many awards in his life. During World War I, he participated in the First World War for the Red Cross's injured team members. He was awarded the Silver Medal of Brave. In 1953, he won the Pulitzer Prize for the book "The Old Man and the Sea". In 1954, "The Old Man and the Sea" won the Nobel Prize for Literature for Hemingway. There are also "Farewell, Weapons" and "The Sun Still Rises."

"Hemingway was born in Oak Parker in the suburb of Chicago, Illinois, USA. He is a representative of a generation of confused writers in the United States. In his life, his relationship was complicated, he married four times, and committed suicide at his home in Ketchum, Idaho in his later years." At some point, the guy Tulong also stood behind him, scaring Nishino.

"How do you know? You can't tell." He Yan asked Tu Long in surprise.

"Hemingway was lingering in the casino while lingering in Chunlou. A cup of absinthe dyed his face. When the strong cigar mist surrounded him, he knew that he had experienced enough debauchery and heroism, and enough sorrow. Did Professor Nishino say it once in the dormitory? I'll remember it secretly." Tulong grimaced at Nishino.

"Oh, I didn't expect that the hero Tulong was a literary and martial artist, and I would never forget it. I would be disrespectful." Nishino smiled with his fists.

"Where, where? I didn't stolen it from you, I'm ashamed." Tulong also held his fists and returned to Nishino.

"You two, have you read too many martial arts novels? You are always a hero. I think the shrimp is still the same."

"We are not Xiami, we are the two heroes of Dingyun Mountain!" Tulong came with a white crane flapping its wings, and it really seemed like that.

‘Come on, Tulong. He is not very thin, but the hero is a muscle man with only force!” Nishino clenched his fists and took the opportunity to show off the muscles on his arm.

"I have it too!" Tu Long rolled up his sleeves, not showing any weakness, and wanted to show his muscles.

"The loose arms and fire sticks are thicker than yours, don't be embarrassed there. Hahaha..." He Yan held a big mouthful of water in his mouth, laughing endlessly, and almost choked.

Tulong was so angry that his forehead was full of blue veins: "Hemingway was myopic. He participated in a war and drove to the front line. The shells kept exploding beside him. He risked his life to save an Italian soldier..."

"Oh, so Hemingway is your idol?" He Yan asked.

"Yes, but I can do better than Hemingway on the battlefield..." Tulong replied.

"I'm so arrogant. Even if you look like this, you can't even carry the gun. You'll go to the battlefield? If you surpass Hemingway, I'll take your surname Tu!" Nishino I was happy and forgot that Tulong's thin figure was caused by malnutrition and missed the development stage.

"It should be clearer than your four eyes. I will carry dozens of hundreds of kilograms of things to the battlefield. If you don't believe it, try carrying your girlfriend He Yan for me?" Tu Long and Xiye got on the verge of it.

"Tulong, what were you talking about? He Yan is not my girlfriend!" Nishino roared.

He Yan couldn't help but be stunned: "It turns out that Nishino doesn't like him! He was so passionate that he was actually used by the two of them to joke about it! I'm more interested."

"Is that my girlfriend still possible?" Tulong added.

"Stop quarrel, do some personal attacks. Ignore you--" He Yan sprinkled all the water in the bowl on the ground and left without looking back.

"I didn't mean it, He Yan." Looking at her beautiful figure gradually fading away, Nishino regretted it: "Tulong, it's all your fault. He Yan and I were talking well, why are you here to join in the fun?"

"It's not my fault, it's the moon." Tulong put his hand on Nishino's shoulder, "Brother, this girl has personality, and you will suffer in the future."

Nishino shook Tulong's hand away: "It's my business whether it's good or not, it's better for you to get involved in the future."

"Okay OK OK, is it necessary to hurt brotherly relationships for a girl? Those who achieve great things should not be confused by women."

"Forget it, I won't bother with you. But you have to think first when you talk in the future, especially in front of girls, otherwise you will not be able to find a wife in your life."

"Thank you Professor Nishino for your reminder."...

In this way, Nishino and He Yan didn't talk for a month. Although they were deskmates, they were strangers, which made Nishino feel lost for a long time. Fortunately, Zong Jian was still there, and he told him some happy things from time to time after class, and life was very fast.

In a blink of an eye, the monthly exam ended, and Nishino's scores entered the top fifteen. At the monthly exam summary meeting, Teacher Geng praised Nishino in the class and specially changed his position, allowing him to be at the same table with a "school master" Liao Xiaoni.

The "school master" is gentle, beautiful, generous, and whispering. If there are any problems in mathematics, they will smile and patiently answer Nishino one by one, which makes Nishino's heart light that is about to be extinguished.

When it was quiet late at night, Nishino couldn't sleep and tossed and turned, thinking: Could it be that Xiao Ni is my goddess?

Nishino turned around and thought: No, she helped me study because she was just kind. How could she fall in love with me, a poor boy from the countryside? It's impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible.

One Sunday, Xiye was bored and decided to go around the school. He accidentally discovered a secluded place and was very happy. That is, there is a small earth mountain at the north end of the school, with a three-story meteorological observation station on the top, and there is a cement staircase to sit on. It is rarely visited there. It is an ideal place for studying.

There are more than a dozen tall dark green trees around the weather station, lush all year round, and the grass under the trees is also very lush. The Munich Meteorological Station is a good barrier. If you don’t read aloud when you go there to read a book, no one will know. You can also climb high and look far, restore your vision, kill two birds with one stone.

That day, after dinner after school, Nishino put a copy of English auxiliary materials in his arms and pretended to be nothing. Nishino's English level is not good, he always wanders on the edge of passing the exam, and his mathematics is not good. He has pulled his back on two courses and will definitely be Waterloo again next year.

Nishino had just opened the book and had not read a few pages before he heard footsteps around him. Nishino Station was hidden behind the pillars on the platform on the second floor of the weather station. From a distance, he saw two girls walking in front and behind.

The tall girl with a beautiful face and short hair in front was walking towards him. Nishino had poor eyesight and was always confused when he looked at people. He couldn't recognize the girl at once. But He Yan was behind him. Because he was so familiar, Nishino decided that it was her.

They each held a book in their hands, smiling. He Yan was wearing a black denim suit today, and the tight jean suit made her figure more convex and looked slimmer. As her steps moved, the "pony tail" behind her head was also jumping in the afterglow of the sunset, and her whole body was filled with youthful vitality that could not be concealed.

Nishino didn't expect that his former "Old Neighbor's Table" would look so beautiful today. He couldn't help but be fascinated by the fact that even the tall girl didn't even notice it when she walked around.

"What are you looking at? So fascinated?" the tall girl shook the book in her hand in front of Nishino and asked.

Nishino was startled and came to his senses. He quickly returned to the book, his face turned slightly red: "Oh, it's you, Xu Xiaoqiao. No, I didn't see anything, I'm looking at the scenery. Look, how beautiful the scenery there is."

Nishino casually pointed forward with his hand: "Look, the scenery over there is so beautiful, with mountains and trees."

Xu Xiaoqiao was puzzled and looked in the direction of Xiye's finger. He saw a short stone mountain opposite, covered with exposed stones, and only some weeds and low bushes grew in some cracks. How could there be any scenery?

"Then? The scenery is beautiful? I didn't see the trees." Xu Xiaoqiao looked at He Yan, who was not very good-looking beside him, and then looked at Xiye. Suddenly, he seemed to understand something. The princess laughed: "The scenery? It's really beautiful, with mountains and trees. Well, I'm afraid people are the most beautiful scenery!" The girl covered her stomach and laughed non-stop while pointing at He Yan.

"What are you talking about, Xu Xiaoqiao!" He Yan was embarrassed for a moment, raised the book in his hand, and made a gesture to chase Xiaoqiao.

Xiao Qiao hurriedly hid and raised his hands: "Okay, okay, okay, can I say that I was wrong? Nishino is not watching you, he is watching the scenery, the most beautiful scenery in the world! By the way, Nishino is watching the scenery upstairs, and the people who are watching the scenery are watching him downstairs, okay."

"You... just know how to bully me and ignore you." Xiao Qiao said stomping her feet.

"Hey, what book are you reading? You are working so hard." Xiao Qiao quickly changed the subject.

"English." Nishino Yang said, "What book are you reading?"

"I'm reading the novel "The Girl of Camellia", written by Dumas, have you read it?" Xiao Qiao handed the book to Nishino.

"I've seen it. The heroine Camellia is a girl with a distinct personality, clear thoughts, innocent feelings and a spirit of self-sacrifice. Although fate and life have pushed her into another realm and become a woman of fairyland, her innocent nature has not changed. For the sake of noble love, she would rather lose everything and suffer humiliation and misunderstandings. In the end, she paid the price of her life for true love. Am I right?"

"Yes, yes. I didn't expect you to have seen it too. I've only seen it recently and haven't finished it yet." Xu Xiaoqiao asked, whether she was going to take the test to Nishino, "What's the finale?"

"Margaret never saw her beloved Armand again. After her death, only a kind neighbor Mili buried her. When Armand returned to Paris, she handed her a diary of Margaret. From the diary, Armand knew her noble heart."

"Margaret wrote in his diary: In addition to the evidence that you always love me, I seem to feel that the more you torture me, the more noble I will appear in your eyes when you know the truth." Nishino was out of control when he talked about the novel.

"Xinye, your memory is really good. I always look at the back and forget the front." Xu Xiaoqiao admired Xiye very much.

"Uh, um. Are you two finished?" He Yan, who was neglected, coughed a few times.

"I just want to say the camellia girl, sorry. He Yan, what book are you reading?" Xiye turned his head and asked He Yan.

"Whatever book I read, do you need to care about it? Aren't you there Liao Xiaoni accompanying me? Pretending to be hypocritical." He Yan gave Xiye a blow.

"Didn't I apologize to you?"

"What's the use of apology? How much is it worth? You have a new girlfriend and you have forgotten me and hide from me everywhere."

"It's not what you think. I, I, I-" Nishino wanted to explain.

"I don't want to listen to your explanation, it's true to see it. Xiao Qiao, let's go." He Yan took Xiao Qiao's hand and wanted to leave.

"He Yan, no, right? Can't you two have a good talk?" Xiao Qiao asked He Yan.

"What's there to talk about? Liao Xiaoni is beautiful, has a good academic performance, and is a city man. I voluntarily quit. Let's talk about you and Xiye!" After He Yan said that, he went downstairs angrily.

"He Yan, wait for me - Xiye, then I'll leave too."

"Let's go. I'm fine." Xiye closed his eyes and waved his hand weakly. Xu Xiaoqiao went downstairs to chase He Yan.

Looking at the direction where the two girls disappeared, Xiye was upset and unintentionally read the book. The English letters on the book were like He Yan's distorted face, full of anger. Although Xiye remembered the letter from Napoleon to Josephine in the English version and planned to read it to He Yan, it seemed that there was no need. Inadvertently, a drop of hot tears rolled down on the concrete floor. The tears were bitter and a little salty.
