The fourth quarter is like every three autumns

Friday, Saturday, Sunday. It’s only two days or more. But when Chen Yi met Yu Chengjie as scheduled at the intersection on a bicycle, she felt a sense of distant strangeness.

There have been too many things that have happened in the past two days, so many things that he can't remember anything else. Those misfortunes in the dark, those dreams, the mysterious world that the mysterious master named Wang Peiqi told him. There is also this peaceful campus.

It made him feel like he was in several different worlds, connected to each other and had nothing to do with each other.

"Long time no see."

Yu Chengjie did not have Chen Yi's feelings and was a little confused about this sentence.

Chen Yi noticed that Yu Chengjie was wearing headphones. "New hobby?"

"Some classes were boring and made a small radio for myself."

Chen Yi was quite surprised. She didn't know that Yu Chengjie had such ability. "Did it yourself?"

Yu Chengjie took out a red plastic box the size of a joint in his little finger, and inserted a wire connecting the headphones at one end, which was so small that it was surprising.

"You made it yourself?"

Chen Yi held it in her hand and observed it carefully, and could not hide her shock.

"Yes, it's very convenient?"

Yu Chengjie opened the box and it was very simple inside, a circuit board, a battery, and a few wires.

Chen Yi took off his headphones and put them on, and indeed a radio program was broadcasted from it. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up and admired. "Awesome!"

"Good morning!" The greetings of classmates in the class came from behind. Yu Chengjie quickly grabbed the box and put it away, showing that he would never want to be discovered.

The man hurriedly ran past the two, turned around and smiled, and looked over himself.

“How long has it been done?”

“Saturday two days on Sunday.”

"Host?" Chen Yi was particularly curious about Cheng Jie today, and the problems became more and more common.

"I like to disassemble electrical appliances when I was a child. Later, I read some related special issues and slowly learned some basics. It's a hobby."

"So you read these extracurricular books in class."

Yu Chengjie nodded and admitted, pointing to the small radio in his pocket. "I gave it a name called Knuckles."

Chen Yi said it was right. "If you plan to give it to the girl you like, it is recommended to use the name Lixin."

"No..." Yu Chengjie's face turned red and he felt guilty when he looked at it.

"I think Lu Yao will want it when he sees it."

Yu Chengjie's face turned redder, but when he entered the classroom, he quickly recovered as usual, so white that he could not tell anything strange.

Lu Yao arrived earlier than both of them, just like in the past. Wang Fu was there, and he still lie on the table early in the morning to sleep. After Chen Yi sat down, she wrote lines on the draft book, quietly pushed to Wang Fu's arm, and hit him three times in a row. Wang Fu's hand was slightly raised, allowing the draft book to pass through the gap between his arm and the desk.

After a moment, the draft was pushed back by Wang Fu from under his arm.

‘It’s okay, I told A Tao.’

Chen Yi tore off the draft paper, tear, aligned it, and then torn it. When it accumulates too thick, he spread it a few portions evenly and continued to tear it. He repeated this many times until the neatly torn pieces would never be able to accommodate half a stroke size, and then threw it into the garbage plastic bag tied under the desk.

He looked at Lu Yao. The latter looked the same as before on the surface, but was often stunned. Her deskmate A Tao talked and chatted with the classmates in front and behind as if nothing had happened, but his eyes were abnormal and deliberately avoided contact with her.

After four classes, everything was as usual. Chen Yishen was still punished to stand until the end of get out of class during English class. The words that the English teacher asked him to recite were still forgotten by him.

When Lu Yao was packing his books after school, he came over and looked at Yu Chengjie. The latter was very tactful and hurriedly stuffed the books into his schoolbag and walked out of the classroom first.

"Can you not go home for lunch?"

This question can easily be considered an invitation.

"how?"

"Go to my house to have a meal." Lu Yao pushed his glasses for a while. Seeing Chen Yi's hesitant silence, he looked around and confirmed that all the students nearby had left. He added as if he begged. "There is no one at home at noon, and he is afraid alone."

"Let's go."

The three of them walked together and rode silently across the crossing of the overpass. Yu Chengjie looked at Chen Yi with a strange look, waved goodbye, and turned the other way.

Chen Yi should have gone home on the bridge, but not today.

I went east for another ten minutes and stopped under a high-rise residential building. There were not many high-rise buildings in this era, and this was one of the most prosperous areas in the city. Lu Yao's home area exceeded 150 square meters, and the decoration was very high-end at that time. The four rooms and living rooms all had wooden floors, and the TV size was 29.

Chen’s father had considered the issue of decoration this year. Because his budget was more than 120,000 yuan, it was temporarily put on hold and wanted to wait for two years before talking about it. Chen Yi estimated that the renovation cost of Lu Yao’s home alone would be close to 200,000 yuan.

"If it's not enough, I'll cook noodles for you, or go downstairs to eat?"

"Let's talk about it."

Lu Yao took out the insurance plastic box from the refrigerator, and the food was complete. While putting it in the microwave to heat it, he explained, "My mother is far away from home at work and has always prepared the meal in the morning, so the portion is relatively small, but I don't have much appetite today, maybe enough for you to eat."

"I think the fast food and snacks outside are not hygienic enough."

"Yes, it's always better than mom's own hands to do it cleanly, right?"

Lu Yao took out the microwave meal, took a bowl, and transferred only two vegetables, a piece of salt and pepper ribs, and two small bites of rice. The rest of the insurance plastic box was pushed to Chen Yi.

“Eat.”

"You are too exaggerating." Chen Yi stared at the little thing in Lu Yao's bowl, thinking that it was probably enough to fill his mouth with it.

"When you lose weight, you really don't have any appetite. You only drank a few sips of milk for breakfast."

"I don't mind fast food, and I even hope to have more opportunities to eat fast food." Chen Yi pushed back, and was pushed back by Lu Yao. She was not polite, and it was boring to push and push. "I'm not polite. If you are hungry in the afternoon, I'll treat you to something."

Lu Yao smiled slightly and turned on the TV.

"I don't eat cooked food outside the school, I rarely eat snacks, I never go to small restaurants, and my parents will scold me if they find out."

Chen Yi ate very slowly, but Lu Yao was even slower. When one-third of the meal in a plastic box was eliminated, Lu Yao only eliminated a small bite of rice and a vegetable. And eleven minutes had passed.

"Isn't it delicious?" Lu Yao asked him in reverse.

"It's delicious, your mother's skills are comparable to those of a chef." Chen Yi did not lie, so she ate slowly, just because Chen's father told him since childhood that he could not eat voraciously when eating outside.

"But your expression seems to be very hard to eat."

"In contrast, you're really working hard."

Lu Yao looked down at the bowl with a light expression. "Because I have no appetite today." At the end, he looked at Chen Yi who was eating by herself. "When school was over today, the group of scumbags were at the school gate. He saw me pretending to be unaware of it and nothing happened. But he greeted you very enthusiastically, but he didn't expect you to stop and say a few words to them. Have you become friends?"

"I'm for your own good, don't be ignorant of the good people." Chen Yi swallowed the food, drank a sip of water, and his tone became a little cold.

“How to say it?”

"Maybe they are just giving Wang Fu a favor. But if I acted like a perfunctory person, I would feel that I was ungrateful."

Lu Yao put down the bowls and chopsticks and asked in disbelief. "It's true? Don't you treat them as friends?"

Chen Yi glanced at her, her tone seemed even colder. "If you have any doubts, I will explain and answer. Don't chatter and get stuck with a question that gives you an answer? I hate this kind of long-windedness."

"I'm wrong." Lu Yao picked up the bowls and chopsticks and urged him to eat faster. "These two days have been wondering why these scumbags are alive and why they live with us. Since childhood, my parents have told me not to go to dark places, not to get close to bad classmates, and not to touch dirty things. But I still misread A Tao. I don't want you to get involved with those scumbags, because I will never get close to those scumbags!"

Chen Yi remembered that his parents said it before. But most children felt indifferent because they believed that the classmates and friends they recognized were not the kind of people they said to.

Now he feels that not to play with any kind of classmates and friends is too subjective, but it makes sense. A Tao is a good person, but what are the people he comes into contact with? Lu Yao can only determine A Tao's character, and because A Tao cannot avoid getting close to those undetermined groups. Although staying away from A Tao is subjective, it is the easiest, feasible and effective method.

Lu Yao is still talking freely.

"I felt so sad last night that I went downstairs and took a walk. As a result, I was a little scared when I went downstairs. The security guards here have always been very good and never happened. My parents never worried about walking in the garden downstairs. I only realized how big the shadow was. Later, I saw someone sitting on a chair in the garden. I almost screamed in fright. Fortunately, I saw that it was a woman with long hair. For some reason, I felt very sad at first sight. Her eyes looked like me facing the mirror. Later we chatted and learned about her experience. It was very similar to me, but she was much stronger than me. I unknowingly talked about my own experience. Later we talked a lot. She knew that I was afraid that my classmates and friends would hear about this, so I comforted me for a long time, and finally gave me an idea."

Speaking of this, Lu Yao's eyes fell on Chen Yi's face, who swallowed the last bite of food, wiped his mouth, and said, "What's the idea?"
