Chapter 17 The Rainy Day (1)
A month later, something unbelievable to many girls happened.After questioning, clarification, repeated questioning and close friends around the parties nodding to confirm the authenticity of the scandal, they finally admitted a fact in despair: "That bastard Yu Xinye, he actually! He surrendered at Xie Yayi's feet! "

"Yeah, I was surprised too." This is the official answer given by Xie Yayi's good friend Zhao Mengfan after being questioned, "But the fact is indeed like this."

"How can you do this!"

"Yu Xinye, bastard!" Girls wailed everywhere, "Didn't he once threaten to 'be a lover forever'? How could Xie Yayi monopolize it all by herself!?"

As the person involved, Yu Xinye touched his nose unconsciously, and comforted the girls who came to him with grief and indignation: "Uh, let me tell you, there is no grass anywhere in the world, why bother to fall in love with me, this pine tree?"

"What are you stinking!" The aggrieved boys at the side couldn't stand his high popularity, "It would be great if she confessed first!"

"Okay, okay, don't be sad." After so many comforting words, the boy finally couldn't help but wonder, "Is it really so sad?" Thinking of this, Yu Xinye turned his eyes involuntarily to the sitting chair. Jiang Wei in the distance.

Then...would she have the same idea?
Besides, on Jiang Wei's side, it's not that he doesn't care.

"It's all spread to my ears." Qi Xian said.

"Oh... really? Yu Xinye is so popular." Jiang Wei absently sharpened his pencil.

"It has been passed down to our grade, what do you think?"

With Jiang Wei's right hand, the pencil sharpener drew a long line of blood on his finger.She was in pain, and the pencil sharpener slammed on the table.

"What are you doing?" Qi Xian gave her a surprised look, frowned slightly, and stood up, "Wait a minute, I'll get a tissue."

"Oh." Jiang Wei stared blankly at the blood oozing from the wound.

It was she who had been forgetting this fact.

From the very beginning, Yu Xinye was the kind that was popular with girls. He smiled at himself and was kind to himself, not because he was so special in his heart, but because she forgot that he was so gentle and ambiguous to every girl. .

But now, he also has someone he likes, and she is already irrelevant.

I used to hope that he would have some special feelings and views on himself, and say those touching sentences to himself.

Now that she finally wakes up completely, she is the one who fell into Yu Xinye's gentle trap.And these are all boys don't care about.

She should never be sad, it is clear that she went wrong first.

At this time, Qi Xian also came over with a box of tissues, took out two and handed them to her: "Here, stop the bleeding first."

Jiang Wei took it and wrapped it around his finger.

"The thing you told me last time was about your family..." Qi Xian sat down beside her, "How's it going?"

Jiang Wei only told three people about this matter, one was Zhao Mengfan, one was Yu Xinye, and the other was Qi Xian.These three people were subconsciously classified as "trustworthy people".

"I think..." Jiang Wei sighed, looked up at Qi Xian, "I should make plans for the future."

"I said you, who are obviously a year or two younger than me, can you stop speaking in such an old-fashioned tone?" Qi Xian looked at her helplessly.

"Then tell me, what else can I do?" Jiang Wei looked up at him with calm eyes.

What else can I do?
The lawsuit was lost, and everything at home was miserable.Jiang Wei still remembered the panic and anxiety in his mother's eyes that night, but he still said to her in a calm tone: "Don't worry about it, I will take care of everything, just study hard."

Jiang Wei threw his schoolbag on the ground directly: "When is the time, you still care about studying!"

Jiang Wei's mother tried to appeal, and Jiang Wei saw her mother's friends coming to the house more than once.They are already discussing countermeasures, and they seem to be planning to hire a lawyer to defend them. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, they must firmly hold on to it.But no matter what, Jiang Wei felt that his family was a fish in a fishing net, doing unnecessary death struggles.

She felt that her life seemed to have fallen into another huge dream, and at this moment, she couldn't wake up from this nightmare no matter what.

"I've always been wondering, who is the childhood sweetheart you're talking about?" Jiang Wei asked Qi Xian during a conversation.

"Oh, you should have heard of it." Qi Xian didn't seem to care, "Her name is Xia Zhize."

She is no stranger to the name Xia Zhize, the last time she heard it was with Yu Xinye, when she seemed to be slapped by her mother in the corridor.

I haven't met her in person, but I know she must be very beautiful just from her reputation.It's just that she didn't expect that she was actually the childhood sweetheart in Qi Xian's mouth.

"It's quite unexpected." Jiang Wei said.

"Well, it's okay." The boy reached for the schoolbag, as if looking for something, "Are you leaving alone again today?"

"Ah."

"Oh, let's go together then."

The light at the end of autumn and the beginning of winter shone whitely on the eyelids.

The leaves on the trees on the side of the road had almost fallen, and one fell to Jiang Wei with the wind, with dark brown spots.The wind rustled the branches, and a few fallen leaves floated down with the wind.

She stared down at the slender pencilknife cut on her finger that had healed.

A person will always experience countless things from childhood to adulthood, leaving countless wounds.No matter how narrow and deep the wound is, no matter how painful it is, it will always heal.

Since it can be healed, why not try to accept it?

So what if it hurts?

She will not do something like fighting for herself.Now that they're together, she feels like these are pointless struggles.If Yu Xinye decided to be with someone else, how could he change his mind so easily?
So what if he knew how she felt?

"I heard that the results of the painting competition have finally come out."

"Oh, really? Then let's go and have a look together this afternoon."

"I'll go to your class to find you?"

"Okay." Jiang Wei nodded, showing a "OK" expression.

Counting with fingers, it has been more than a month since I spoke to Yu Xinye.

When I first heard the news that he had a girlfriend, I was only briefly shocked, not the sudden sadness and unwillingness when I faced Xia Shuo.It's just that when I think about it later, there will always be a long pain in my body.

It is said that the real pain is the hindsight.

I know how much I like him, but so what?Do you regret it?What if I regret it?She clearly cared about him so much, but she couldn't say it out loud.

But it's no longer necessary.

There is no need to speak out.

Actually, I still don't know him.After getting along for such a long time, Jiang Wei didn't know what he was really thinking about, what he thought of her, and he couldn't even confirm whether he was interested in him.

She didn't even notice when he had some eyebrows with Xie Yayi.

So……

Now that you're with her, you don't need me anymore.

Then... I will leave.

"Cuckoo..."

There was a strange bird chirping outside the window.Yu Xinye turned his head, and a bird fluttered away from the tree with its wings.

I can't tell what species it is, but it should be an ordinary sparrow, gray and ugly as hell.

It's almost winter, already standing on the tail of autumn.

Yu Xinye remembered that Jiang Wei said that sitting by the window is actually very good. Although it is not easy to see the writing on the blackboard, you can look at the scenery outside the window when you are bored in class. If you look carefully, you will find that it is actually very interesting. s things.

Maybe.This gray sparrow is also very interesting, isn't it?

However, the boy didn't continue to look out of the window. He turned his eyes involuntarily to see Jiang Wei, who had already moved to the third group.

The girl seemed to be more emaciated, her whole body was as white as a piece of paper, so fragile that it would break if blown.When I walked past her these past few days, I could always see her eyes were red, with bruises around her eyes, her gaze was erratic, and her walking was a little unsteady.

But there is no way to pat her on the shoulder like before and say in a relaxed tone: "Did you not sleep well last night?"

It's really frustrating to think about it, how could it be like this?It is clear that the relationship was still the same more than a month ago.

Naturally, no one will answer him, which makes people despair.

I don't know if she is doing well recently or what happened.For thirty or forty days, she did not participate in her own life.At the beginning, I really didn't feel used to it. No matter what time, no matter what I encountered, I would subconsciously take out my mobile phone and want to call her and talk to her.But when he really took out the phone, he always hesitated, and finally put down the phone.

Seeing her pale face, Yu Xinye couldn't help but want to ask her how she was doing several times.After all, it was me who was always by her side before, and suddenly there was no news of her, and I always felt a little uneasy.

But every time I take a step and stop again.

Maybe she doesn't need her, Yu Xinye thought.Whether she is haggard or not is none of his business, he doesn't care what happens to her, there is no place for him around her, Qi Xian is the only one in her heart besides Xia Shuo.Everything is just his one-sided unrequited love.

Since that is the case...

It doesn't matter if he has a girlfriend.

Since it was the girl who confessed first, and the relationship has always been good, it seems that there is nothing wrong with the two of them if they continue to develop, so I have no reason to refuse.

And most importantly—she didn't care anyway.

During the break in the afternoon, Qi Xian came to Jiang Wei's class to look for her, which inevitably caused a little commotion.It's just that the parties didn't care, they just walked towards the art team's office together.

In fact, there is no need for the two of them to go together. It stands to reason that Qi Xian's classroom should be closer to there.

"How are you with him?" After walking for a while, Qi Xian asked naturally.

"As always, I don't know what to say when I see him." Jiang Wei replied, "It's better not to talk."

"Oh, brat."

"How old do you think you are?" She gave him a cold look.

"It's not very old, just one year older than you."

"Qi Xian, I found out that you are as shameless as Yu Xinye."

"Thank you."

"..." Crazy.

Qi Xian and Yu Xinye cannot be compared.

Sure enough, what you like is actually your own wishful thinking.

The two of them knocked on the door and entered the office of the art group. The teacher in charge didn't even look at them, just looking for the materials in his hands: "What do you want to do?"

"Teacher, we are here to ask about the result of that painting competition." Qi Xian first spoke.Qi Xian is a transfer student. The work was originally handed over to the original school, but now it is also transferred here along with the student status, so the current school is in charge.

At this moment, the teacher finally raised his head and glanced at the two of them, with an impatient expression on his face: "I'm so busy all day, you really have a lot to do!"

Jiang Wei and Qi Xian looked at each other, each seeing suppressed anger in each other's eyes.

Since you are in charge, you should be responsible, what irresponsible words are you talking about?Jiang Wei thought about this sentence for a long time, but in the end he couldn't say it.

"There are so many students participating in the competition, how can I remember? What's your name?" The teacher raised his head and glanced at Jiang Wei, frowning, "What is it? Li Wei?"

"Jiang Wei." The girl answered with a good temper.

"Oh, Jiang Wei, Jiang Wei." The teacher frowned and thought for a while, and finally, as if remembering something, the frown deepened, "What are you drawing?"

"The background is the osmanthus forest."

"Osmanthus forest? Oh, I remembered." The teacher in charge turned over the paper in his hand again, absent-mindedly, "You drew that? I thought who it was. So it was you who drew it?"

Jiang Wei and Qi Xian looked at each other silently again.

"I didn't mean you, Jiang Wei." The teacher put down the materials he had sorted out in his hands, and looked over with his legs crossed. He couldn't tell what kind of look he was in. "What do you want to say and express in that painting? It's just a osmanthus forest ?”

Girls don't answer.

"First of all, when painting a painting, you have to consider its theme and intention. If a painting has no intention, who can see what you are painting? Is the painting interesting? Let me just say it, you are also an award-winning person, I I think your painting should not be too bad, but your painting really disappoints me. The composition is still okay, but the coloring... tsk tsk..."

"And Qi Xian, you too. You are older than her, and your condition is a little better than her, but it's not much better. Look at your hair, what does it look like? You hurry to dye it back for me. I just want to think about it. I don’t understand why you won the provincial first prize last year.”

When they came out of the office of the art group, neither of them spoke, and it was not until they walked a long way that Qi Xian suddenly burst out laughing.

"The teacher in your school is really funny... Intention? This is the first time I've heard that there is such a thing for painting!" The boy laughed so hard that his waist became like a shrimp, his hair and clothes trembled, as if there was something real It's kind of funny.

"Haha...does she think she started the competition? Will dyeing hair affect the quality of the painting? The teacher in your school is really interesting...hahaha...then according to her words, abstract painting and static sketching are all Is it all trash?"

"The students she specially cultivated only won the third prize last year." Jiang Wei looked at Qi Xian, who was smiling half-deadly with his hands on his knees, and slightly raised the corners of his mouth, "Also, don't forget, you are also from this school. .”

"Hehe... So, she was talking about something irrelevant for a long time there, so she was upset with our 'No.1 partner'..."

"She has attended our class before. Once the school conducted a survey on the popularity of teachers, and the class committee of the next class wrote something bad about her. As a result, she lost her temper and lost her temper once in every class. I believe it was written by the class committee of our class." Jiang Wei laughed, "I always feel that she seems to be taking our anger out on us."

"Middle-aged women in menopause."

"Heh... But tell me, can I win the prize this time? I'm still a little worried when she said that." Jiang Wei unconsciously tugged at the ends of his hair with his fingers, shaking them.

"Jiang Wei, don't always be so guarded against everything and everyone." Qi Xian turned to look at her, "Although it is natural to be wary and hostile towards people, don't be guarded against everything."

Oftentimes, you will be hostile to others.

Because of being too realistic and pessimistic, I always refuse to believe in human nature, like a cat whose tail has been trampled.He always raises his eyebrows and looks prepared, always dealing with all kinds of unexpected situations that may happen at any time.

Because of this, it is difficult for people to integrate into their own world.

"So..." Jiang Wei tilted his head and smiled at Qi Xian, "The people who have been able to maintain a good relationship with me for a long time over the years, except Zhao Mengfan and Yu Xinye, who are close friends You are still the first one who beats badly."

Maybe it's because his thinking is relatively precocious, and because Qi Xian is a year or two older than her, Jiang Wei always feels that it is natural to communicate with Qi Xian.

It is true to say that I am hostile to others, but it can also be said that it is because I feel that most of my peers around me are too immature, and talking or arguing with them all day is tiring and boring.

Sure enough, it is better to make friends with those who are a year or two older than themselves.

So, you are still the first.

"That's it." Qi Xian turned to look at her.I have arrived in my class and I am ready to enter the classroom.

"Then I'll go first." Jiang Wei nodded at him, turned around to leave.

"In this case..." Qi Xian's voice continued to ring out as if he hadn't finished speaking.Jiang Wei turned back to look at the boy, but only saw a faint smile in his eyes, "Let me take care of you for him for a while."

Jiang Wei looked at Qi Xian standing in front of him.Behind him are the white wall tiles at the door of the classroom, which are neatly spread out one by one, reflecting the shining white light.The boy's hair was highlighted with a light chestnut red, and his bangs were laid softly on his forehead, covering his eyebrows.

There was a faint, unpredictable smile in Qi Xian's eyes.There was no sign of seriousness on his expression, and his tone was even joking.

Jiang Wei also looked at him.

After a while, she finally couldn't help laughing: "Well, okay."

Maybe the future decision will not be known now.

I don't know if I will regret my decision now.

When Jiang Wei walked into the classroom, he happened to see Yu Xinye who was sitting at the back door of the classroom chatting with Xie Yayi and a few friends.When Jiang Wei walked past him, he just looked up.

Their eyes met for a brief second.

The other party seemed to be taken aback for a moment, but Jiang Wei remained expressionless.

Jiang Wei turned his face away first, and continued to walk towards the seat.

The day has begun to gradually cool down.

Around the beginning of school, Jiang Wei still liked Xia Shuo, right?It can only be said that it is simply liking, or having a good impression.At that time, she and Zhao Mengfan were still good friends, and the family lawsuit was not as serious as it is now...

Everything has changed, now...

In just less than a year, it was all forgotten.She forgot all about Xia Shuo's youthful feeling that his heart was beating like thunder.She and Zhao Mengfan walked arm in arm in the streets and alleys, and she couldn't remember all of them.The temples are tight and aching.

The two people she used to love and miss so hard and deeply, now she has forgotten all of them.The people she thought she would always like, the good friends who would always be together, are all gone now.

Because of her, it's all gone.

She used to think that maybe only Yu Xinye would be by her side all the time.

But now even those are gone.

That was all a long time ago.

The news of dating Qi Xian first spread from the senior class, and finally spread in Jiang Wei's class. "It's really 'the right family' and 'a man with a talent and a woman'!" someone said.

"Maybe there is such a thing as fate, and the fake love letter has come true."

"It's quite unexpected, but after thinking about it, it seems to be quite logical."

"The senior grasses of the senior grades are also famous. How many are left now?" This is the word that spreads.

Jiang Wei ran into Xia Shuo in the corridor. Although he was in the same school, it seemed that he hadn't seen him for a while, and he couldn't tell what it was like when he met again.On the contrary, the boy greeted her first: "I'll call you cousin from now on."

"Huh?" I was a little puzzled by this title.

"Unexpectedly, in the end his girlfriend was not Xia Zhize, but you." Xia Shuo smiled, his eyes were still cold and soft.It seems that this year has passed, everyone has changed, but he is still standing in the same place, unchanged.

Only then did he realize that "he" refers to Qi Xian.
