After the last class on Friday, Wu Jincheng started packing up his desk, looking like he was going to leave.
His classmates asked, "Monitor, why are you packing up?"
Wu Jincheng said, "The college entrance examination is only a few days away. I have already applied for a study leave and will study at home."
"Hey!" The classmates exclaimed, "Is this okay?"
"Students, be quiet." Teacher Chen appeared in the classroom and answered questions. "As long as your parents sign, you can go home to review. Of course, for most students, I still recommend staying in school and asking teachers for help whenever you have any questions."
The students raised their hands: "Is it okay with a parent's signature?"
Teacher Chen: "You still need my approval. You can only do it if you have someone to take care of you at home. If no one is watching you, and you rely on your own consciousness alone, can you still review well in the next ten or so days, which are the most critical days?"
She gave everyone a long lecture, covering the last period of time when Wu Jincheng was away.
The students were busy discussing whether to ask for leave, and no one noticed the departure of the monitor.
Except for Ji Yunyun.
She called him at the school gate: "Class monitor."
Wu Jincheng turned back calmly: "What?"
"Is it you?" Ji Yunyun asked.
Wu Jincheng: "It's none of your business."
Ji Yunyun clenched her fists: "Why do you do this?"
"Do you think you are very righteous?" Wu Jincheng asked back, "Do you think Miao Tong is a good person? She died and you must find out the truth. Have you ever thought that she is the culprit of the whole thing?"
Ji Yunyun was stunned.
"No one is better than anyone else, don't be so naive." He turned around indifferently and crossed the road.
At the corner of the street, a police car was waiting for him.
"Ji Yunyun." Someone called her from behind. It was a tall and strong boy. "What were you talking about with the class monitor?"
Ji Yunyun rolled her eyes: "What does it have to do with you
?" Other person: "Are you planning to go home to review?
" Ji Yunyun: "No."
Other person: "Me too
." Ji Yunyun: "I didn't ask you."
Other person: "Are you going to the library to review tomorrow?" Ji
Yunyun: "Why?"
Other person: "My home is nearby. If you go, I'll save a seat for you."
Ji Yunyun: "Yes."
Other person: "Are you going home alone? Do you want to come together? I'll also take bus No. 4."
The boy hadn't finished speaking when they suddenly heard a horn and a car stopped beside them.
The car window rolled down, and Ji Feng looked at him: "Who said Yunyun went home alone?"
"Brother?!" Ji Yunyun's eyes widened, as if she had seen a ghost, "Why are you here?"
"Nonsense, of course I'm here to pick you up, otherwise do you think I'm just passing by after having a full meal?" Ji Feng glanced at her, "What are you dawdling about, why don't you hurry up and get in the car and wait for me to open the door for you?" He
looked so fierce and really annoying. Ji Yunyun muttered something, waved her hand, opened the door and got in.
The boy opened his mouth, closed it again, and watched her leave honestly.
Ji Feng interrogated his sister: "Who is that?"
"The study committee member of our class."
"Wow, you're so big, I thought you were the sports committee member. Study committee member? Is that okay?" Ji Feng was full of doubt.
Ji Yunyun was furious: "Don't look down on him, his grades are very good, he is in the top five in the grade." Ji Feng laughed
.
"Hey." Ji Yunyun suddenly turned her head and asked him, "I just saw the squad leader get on the police car, was it him?"
Ji Feng: "Yes." Ji Yunyun was silent. Ji Feng asked: "Do you want to know the reason?" "Will you tell me?" "Yes." He said, "You found it." Logically, Ji Yunyun should be excited by this sentence, but the fact is the opposite. She didn't feel excited or excited, but rather unpleasant. Ji Feng looked forward and said calmly: "The truth is like this, sometimes it is absurd, sometimes it is cruel, and it is not often the joy of justice defeating evil. But no matter which one it is, we can only accept it." Ji Yunyun pursed her lips and gritted her teeth and said: "Okay, you tell me." Ji Feng kept his word and told her the truth without reservation. Ji Yunyun: "..." The truth is so far from her reasoning. "I didn't plan to tell you before the college entrance examination, but Teacher Jian insisted that you could do it." Ji Feng glanced at her, "I made a bet with her to treat her to a meal - it's not shameful to cry for your brother's wallet." Ji Yunyun complained: "You just want to have a meal with her." Ji Feng: "No such thing." The younger sister rolled her eyes, opened her wallet, and took out a red note: "I'll give you a hundred yuan to buy a bouquet of flowers before the meal. You, can you put in some more effort? Look at the person in Teacher Jian's scandal, and then look at you, can you have a sense of crisis?" Ji Feng laughed angrily: "Who are you disliking, you little girl?" "You, you, you, it's you!" After the weekend, Ji Yunyun went back to school to attend classes as if nothing had happened. Ji Feng fulfilled his promise and asked Jian Jing to come out for dinner. She asked, "What to eat?" "Don't wear a skirt." Jian Jing took the advice and wore a T-shirt, hot pants, baseball cap and sunglasses. Ji Feng commented, "You look like a celebrity going out on the street." "I am a celebrity now." Ji Feng: "You are too self-conscious." Hearing this tone, Jian Jing said coldly, "If you don't want to treat me to dinner, just say so. I'm going home now." "No, no." He held her arm and opened the car door, "Admit defeat, get in the car." Jian Jing reluctantly sat in the passenger seat for the sake of their past friendship: "Where are we going?"
"You'll know when you get there." Ji Feng said this in advance. "But it's not a good place, so be prepared." Jian Jing
pressed her forehead and said calmly, "Fortunately, I didn't expect anything from you."
The car drove for half an hour and stopped on a one-way street shaded by green trees. Ji Feng bought two bottles of water and parked the car at the back door of the grocery store.
"Let's go, so we won't get a ticket." He stuffed a bottle of water into her hand and said, "Come with me."
Jian Jing's curiosity was aroused. This didn't look like a place to eat, so she hurried to follow.
Ji Feng turned into a small road. The shade of trees blocked most of the sunlight, and the wind became cooler. There was a low wall on the side of the road. Bushes grew out of the gaps in the bricks, and unknown wild flowers were blooming.
He said, "Can you climb in?"
"Who are you looking down on?" Jian Jing said, "It's just this high."
"As expected of Teacher Jian," Ji Feng praised her, and climbed over the wall swiftly. "Don't worry, this place is deserted, and there's no one inside."
Jian Jing didn't need to activate the white kitten mode. Her strength and agility were enough to overcome this two-meter low wall.
She climbed up swiftly, looked down, and saw a cracked cement road below. Although there were weeds everywhere, at least she wouldn't step on mud, so she jumped down with confidence.
"Where is this?"
"My high school. The school has moved away. The developer went bankrupt, and half of it was demolished and rotted here." He raised his chin. In the distance, there were two teaching buildings standing there, with gray exterior walls covered with wind and frost.
Jian Jing glanced at him and didn't ask why they had to eat here.
Once human footprints disappear, the breath of nature will flourish. The weeds were extremely dense, and the rough stems and leaves could easily cut the exposed skin.
At first, Jian Jing regretted wearing shorts, but soon found it very interesting. Her agility allowed her to easily avoid all obstacles, as if she was on an adventure.
However, the dense bushes soon disappeared.
The playground is still there, and no matter how hard the weeds try, they can't grow higher than the ankles. The cement steps are still very solid, and only a few stubborn weeds can poke their heads out and flutter in the wind.
Ji Feng walked to the highest floor and looked out at the deserted campus. After a while, he suddenly said, "Teacher Jian, the day I received the news of my father's death, the school happened to hold a sports meet here."
In October, the golden wind brought coolness and the sweet osmanthus was fragrant. To this day, he can still remember the principal's speech at the opening ceremony, which was not quite standard.
"Every year at the sports meet, the class monitor would find someone to sign up for the 1,000-meter long-distance race. I still remember her. She was a girl with good academic performance and a beautiful person."
He mentioned it casually and changed the subject. Jian Jing rolled her eyes at him, but then asked, "First love?"
"Curious?" Ji Feng looked at her and smiled, "I won't tell you."
Jian Jing was very upset, "I'm not curious, thank you. You can continue to talk about the sports meet."
"Sports meet..." He thought about it and sighed, "I was so naive back then, one thousand meters? When I was in college, I had to run three thousand meters every day, and I had to train. It was terrible."
"Then why did you choose to study at Gongda?" she asked.
Ji Feng said, "To serve the people."
Jian Jing: "Bullshit."
"If you don't believe me, forget it." He turned around and came down, "Let's go, you must be hungry. Let me think, it should be here."
He took her through the precarious teaching building and climbed over the wall next to it.
It's strange to say that just across the wall, the quietness of the deserted garden suddenly turned into a bustling street. Going down this road, you can see a small market in less than 300 meters.
Ji Feng found a rice noodle shop, ordered two bowls of beef offal rice noodles, and said to her, "Try it."
"If it doesn't taste good, I'll beat you into a pig's head." Jian Jing sat down and picked up a rice noodle.
"Do you think I'm empty-handed and came all the way here to reminisce?" He sneered and said decisively, "I guarantee it's delicious."
Jian Jing took a bite doubtfully.
It was actually really good. It was a typical restaurant with a bad environment and a plain appearance, but the owner may have been making it for decades.
A bowl of ordinary beef offal rice noodles, the soup is clear but fresh, the rice noodles are chewy, and the beef offal is crispy and fresh, a rare delicacy.
"When I was in school, it was only 12 yuan a bowl. The price has increased." He ate half a bowl in one go and waved, "Boss lady, another serving of brine beef."
"Okay." The boss lady walked into the kitchen, picked up a piece of brine with a spoon, and chopped it on the chopping board with a few clicks, and brought a plate of brine beef to the table, "Eat slowly."
Ji Feng pushed the plate over: "Eat more, you'll be full."
Jian Jing poked with a chopstick, and the brine was very tasty.
But she still wanted to find fault: "I won't bet with you in the future. You're so stingy. You treat me to rice noodles but don't have soda."
Ji Feng: "... Bring me another bottle of Coke."
"Cold."
"Cold, cold." He looked like he had nothing to live for.
After eating and drinking, he went home.
Ji Feng went back to work, and Jian Jing went home to take a nap.
When she woke up from her nap, the sun was shining brightly outside. She petted the dog for a while, played the ball throwing game with it a few times, then walked slowly to the study and created a new document.
In the past two days, she has been thinking about writing a new book. There is no way, money is spent too easily, and you have to work hard to earn it back, but I have no inspiration for the Devil Doctor series, and I don’t want to write the fourth part for the time being.
The author is just so fond of novelty and hates the old.
Write a new story.
Reasoning is still reasoning, of course, but it should be lighter, more interesting, and not too heavy.
What to write?
Scenes appeared in front of her.
A young couple dating under the wisteria, a girl who fell from the rooftop, a student walking into a police car at the school gate, and the desolate and quiet old campus under the sun.
Young people don’t know the taste of sorrow, and always take life and death lightly.
Murder and youth, it’s also very interesting.
She finally typed a new title on the document
.
