I met Wen Cen on the way back to the teaching building.

He walked towards him with three bottles of water. Miao Jing said "Huh" and said, "Are you leaving school?"

"The door is not closed, some people left directly." Wen Cen threw the bottle of water to Miao Jing, and said that, and handed Dong Zhi another bottle.

Dongzhi whispered thanks, and Miao Jing asked, "Hey, were you passing by the teaching building? What's the situation there now?"

"Didn't you see it when you went downstairs just now? There were two old books stalls, and the others were placed on the road opposite the school gate." He said.

Miao Jing curled her lips.

Wen Cen glanced at Dongzhi and said, "It's like that, the girls in Class 2 don't have the courage to make trouble again."

Miao Jing snorted, "That is, we are not here, otherwise we would kick her over the broken stall. I'd better come earlier..."

Wen Cen was not as excited as her, but also silent, saying, "I don't like participating in these activities. I say I have nothing to do, so I'll come soon after the second class."

"Isn't this okay?" Dongzhi didn't want to talk about unpleasant things anymore, nor did he want to affect them. He smiled, "I'm not that easy to bully either."

The rabbit will bite people if it is anxious, let alone she is not a rabbit.

"Where are you going now? I originally wanted to go back to the classroom." Miao Jing turned her head to look at Dong Zhi, "Are you going back now?"

Wen Cen said: "What are you doing when you go back? There are not many people in the class, and I guess the teacher will not come again."

"Then where are we going?"

Three people looked at each other for a few seconds.

"Forget it, I'll invite you to have milk tea!" Miao Jing pulled Dong Zhi away while greeting Wen Cen.

There was no better decision, so just follow what she said.

Standing in a row and walking towards the school gate, Miao Jing narrowed her eyes and looked at the falling sun. The weather was getting hotter and hotter.

Holding Dong Zhi's arm, she held Dong Zhi's hand and touched it. "Huh?" She looked down and didn't dare to touch it again.

Miao Jing held Dong Zhi's hand and looked, "How come this breaks? Does it hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt." Dong Zhi shook his head and said it was okay, "Maybe it was accidentally rubbing it out of the front."

"Right?" Miao Jing frowned. It was probably what she and Tao Zipei got when they were arguing. It was a big fuss at that time, without thinking about it.

After taking a few glances, sighing and putting down her hand, Miao Jing said, "Fortunately, Chen stopped him. The big thing turned out, so they apologized. Fortunately, he was there this time."

Dongzhi didn't say anything, Miao Jing took her arm again.

The footsteps of the three people are not heavy.

Wen Cen didn't participate in this topic, so he threw it lightly in his hand. The mineral water bottle liberated in the air for less than a second and returned to his hands.

...

After parting with Miao Jing and Wen Cen, Dong Zhi took the bus to the vicinity of his home. After getting off the platform, there was a few minutes' walk away.

Because it was an activity day and there was no class in the evening, the three of them were playing outside for a while. Considering that they had to get up early the next day, they would be disbanded as soon as they saw that it was getting dark.

I walked home, and before halfway, someone called her behind me.

When she looked back, she paused, "Chen Ju."

Chen walked quickly to her side with his long legs, "Why did you go back?"

"I went out with my friends," she said, "Where are you."

He said, "Help the teacher in the office."

Walking side by side, it rained yesterday, and the stones and dust on the ground were still filled with water vapor.

Chen glanced at her side face and walked a few steps: "I mentioned the afternoon matter to the teacher, there will be no problem."

"Um?"

"I told the teacher in charge of this activity that the activities of several girls in Class 2 were not standardized and seriously violated the regulations on club activities. I asked them to remove the stall. The teacher said that he knew that there would be no more problems with this matter."

Dongzhi nodded, "Okay."

Walking and looking forward, Dong Zhi pursed his lips slightly, "Do you want to leave first?"

Chen frowned, "Leave first? Why?"

She was silent for a long time before saying, "It's almost time to arrive at your house, and everyone around you knows you, you are walking with me..."

"So what?" He lowered his face slightly, "It's not okay to walk together. Did we kill or set fire? What's wrong with nature?" He pulled one hand with his bag and used force. "The problem was ultimately due to my mother."

Dongzhi said nothing.

I stepped on a few gravels and creaked a few times under my feet.

Chen said, "Actually, it's not just her problem. Sometimes it has nothing to do with my mother." He said, "It's me."

Dongzhi glanced at him.

Chen said in secretly, "You were angry with me before, that time..."

“Which time?”

He was a little self-deprecating, and it seemed like he had too many times.

"The time the teacher's wallet disappeared." The eyelashes cast a shadow on the eyelids, and Chen's voice was deep, "I know clearly, how could you steal money? You were already very angry when you were wronged. When I saw you, I was still uncertain at that moment. I might be really sick."

"You can't say that." Dong Zhi kicked the stone at his feet, "No one should believe 100% of them, it's wrong."

"No, I know you won't." He frowned, confident, "You really want money, too much is the method. We have known each other for so many years, and you have never spoken to me once and asked me for a penny. You have no problem, the problem is me, I shouldn't believe you."

Chen continued, "I woke up when you were angry at that time. In addition to this time, there were many times later. Every time I think about it, there are reasons for you to have conflicts with others. I always lose my temper with you first and attack you first. I have to be like this to calm down every time."

"..." She remained silent.

"Many people like to say that sentence, 'One slap can't be slap', and I have heard it many times," he said. "But after that incident with Qin, I don't think this sentence is very correct."

Dongzhi asked softly: "What's wrong?"

Chen glanced at her sideways, and the two of them kept walking. He said, "You use your left hand to pat your right hand, and it is true that one slap can't be slap. But what if you use your left hand to pat someone else's face? It's as loud as a slap. Just like that violin incident, I want to buy it for you. I'm equivalent to slapping the left hand of the chin. You don't know anything, you are completely passive, and the one who suffers in the end... I can't imagine what you are wrong in that matter." He stopped, "We are so big, we have read books and understand the truth, and we can't slap can't be slap. The essence of this sentence is actually to mean that the victim is also guilty and the victim is not innocent. I think this logic is wrong."

"Forget it." She said, "it's over."

Chen was silent and then said, "I don't know what my mother has in private..." He pursed his lips, making it a little difficult to speak.

Dongzhi knew him.

A half-grown boy is always sunny, gentle and gentle. When students I didn’t know in school asked him for questions, he would answer questions carefully. As a member of the school’s duty supervision, he would also stand up when encountering unfair affairs that violated the rules and disciplines.

Such an upright boy with a bright moon and a breeze, his mother who raised her mother despised the poor and loved the rich, was mean and sarcastic, did not understand right and wrong, and was self-righteous, without any tolerance.

The violin incident was a direct blow, which made him think that he could not see it, and the blow was heavy.

Dongzhi always reminds himself that Chen is Chen Ju, his family is his family, and he acts the same way.

"You don't have to apologize for your mother."

"No, it's me." Chen said, "...I shouldn't believe you."

Dongzhi looked at the road ahead, and had a brief sense of consciousness. He didn't know what he thought of, and said softly: "This is right. Don't trust others completely, no one wants it."

His stubbornness came up and frowned, "Others are others, you are you."

She paused, "Do you believe whatever I say? If I ask you for money, you will give it to me? What about something else? Something else..."

"Finish." Chen said without hesitation, "If you want money, I can give it to you. I have other things, and if you want it, I can give it to you."

Dongzhi stopped, and Chen stopped with her.

"Chen Ju." She turned slightly and wanted to say to him, "You..."

Suddenly, a car drove by quickly.

Chen hurriedly pulled her wrist and pulled her.

Before she could finish her words, she was suddenly pulled by him and rushed towards him.

Chen quickly held her and put his hand on her waist.

"Beep—"

The car whistled by.

Facing her face, Dong Zhi was wrapped in Chen's arms. When he met her gaze that looked a little dazed, he was also stunned.

"I'm standing..." She moved her lips.

The heat burned up suddenly, and Chen suddenly let go of his hand and his ears turned red.

The wind is gentle, but it cannot match the temperature of the ear roots. When blown, the heated ear roots will hurt.

After a few seconds of uneasiness, Chen pretended to be fine and pulled the strap of the backpack.

"You go inside." He stood outside.

Dongzhi lowered his head slightly, "Yes."

Then he walked speechlessly to the doorstep.

The door of the Chen family was closed, but Chen didn't go in. He watched Dongzhi walk to the gate of the yard.
