I was enjoying it, and I didn't think about the fact that Zou Yang still owed me a "kneeling". As long as he didn't bother me anymore, even if no one cared about each other and we went our separate ways, I was happy to keep things quiet. But I noticed that Zou Yang and Li Jie and the others were getting closer, and they were often whispering. Sometimes Zou Yang's expression would appear very impatient, while Li Jie kept shaking his head, sighing, and frowning.
I don't know what they are discussing, and whether it has anything to do with me. I don't want to think about these things. I hope that my life will be as peaceful as water. I found that my status in the dormitory was gradually rising. Once, after I washed my feet, the water for washing feet was still in the basin. Before I had time to pour it out, a student took the initiative to help me pour it out. "On the way, on the way." He said with a wry smile, and then handed me a cigarette.
I had company when attending classes and eating, sometimes two or three, sometimes four or five, but I still felt lonely. It was really strange.
The relationship between Xia Xue and I became better and better. Perhaps encouraged by Liu Zihong, I liked to stay close to her whenever I had something to do. My classmates were a little afraid of me, but they didn't dare to say anything. Especially Xia Xue's deskmate, as long as it wasn't the class of the head teacher, he would give me his seat obediently. At the end of the day, I spent most of my time with Xia Xue. I liked this cheerful and lovely girl more and more.
That day, Zou Yang was hit with a flower pot in English class, and the news eventually reached the ears of the head teacher. Even if the English teacher didn't report it, there would always be students who couldn't keep their mouths shut and report it. The head teacher called me to the office and asked me about what happened that day. I said sincerely: "Teacher Ge, it's okay, it's really okay. Zou Yang and I are both from Dongguan Town. We have a good relationship. We just had a small conflict that day, and now we have reconciled."
I believe that Zou Yang would not tell the head teacher about the beating he received. He is such a face-conscious person and would not resolve the issue through the teacher.
When the head teacher heard me say that, he stopped talking. It was normal for students to have conflicts, and as a head teacher, he was supposed to deal with them. Now that the conflicts were resolved by the students themselves, he was of course happy to have some peace and quiet. So the matter came to an end.
Xia Xue was a local student from Beiyuan. She often had students from other classes come to hang out with her, both male and female, some seemingly kind, some fierce-looking. She was really popular. So I thought that if I had relied on her to help me out, Zou Yang's problem could have been solved, but I couldn't avoid the gossip of my classmates. At least I would have been labeled a gigolo.
Xia Xue is a very smart girl. She would write me little notes after class, and she would talk to me one by one, often adding cute expressions. We talked about everything from literature to the universe. I was the loneliest during the three years in junior high school, so I read a lot of books and pretended to be knowledgeable in front of Xia Xue. But she was not timid at all. No matter what I talked about, she could catch up.
Good girl, what a good girl. She is both beautiful and talented, a peerless beauty.
I began to think about confessing my feelings. My biggest confusion was whether Xia Xue really liked me. She was indeed cheerful and enthusiastic towards me, but she was also the same with other boys. When we chatted about notes in class, she would reply to other boys' notes without fail. It seemed that she treated everyone the same, and her smile to me was no different from that to others. It is true that she was angry because I did not say anything back when Zou Yang bullied me, but this cannot be attributed to her liking me. It may be that she is just particularly kind and cannot bear to see others being bullied.
Because of this, I was very distressed. Before I got a clear answer, I decided to put the confession on hold.
After about a week of this, I noticed that something was wrong again.
When Zou Yang saw me, he did not turn around and leave. Instead, he acted arrogantly and stared at the sky, as if I was not there at all. This was contempt and disdain. However, I didn't care about him, as long as he didn't bully me. Thinking about it now, I really feel sad for my "contentment". It was clearly a dangerous signal!
My classmates gradually stopped talking to me. The few classmates who accompanied me to class and dinner always made excuses to leave. I felt confused, but I didn't show it. Anyway, it didn't matter whether these people talked or not. They were just a bunch of fence-sitters. As long as Xia Xue still talked to me and no one dared to bully me, it was fine.
Later I found out that Zou Yang was doing something behind the scenes again.
During the class, I left Xia Xue's side and returned to my original seat. Liu Zihong whispered to me, "Be careful these days, Zou Yang and Li Jie have found someone to deal with you again!"
My heart skipped a beat and I asked, “Really?”
Liu Zihong looked around warily, like an underground party member, and whispered, "Really? Zou Yang privately told the classmates in our class that you are finished this time, and advised everyone not to get too close to you, otherwise innocent people will be affected, and we will settle accounts with them later!"
Now I understood why I had been quietly isolated again these days.
"You have to quickly notify that 'Brother Liang' from your vocational college..." Liu Zihong's face was full of worry.
In this situation, Liu Zihong was able to tip me off, and I felt even more fond of this seemingly dull little boy with four eyes.
"I can't talk to you anymore." Liu Zihong was a little flustered: "If Zou Yang and the others see us, we'll be in trouble. Please be considerate first."
