It's the students' fault if they are too popular.

"Let me see." Gu Nian grabbed Dong Yang's hand without hesitation, "Let me help you pull it out."

"Ah? No need, I can do it myself."

But Gu Nian was already pulling it out. She held Dong Yang's finger like a serious craftsman making a precise Swiss watch, or like a knight about to kiss his hand. Little by little, the thorn was pulled out, leaving a tiny hole. Dong Yang bit his tongue, which was a little painful.

Gu Nian reluctantly let go. She wanted to hold the finger in her mouth to make Xu Dongyang feel less pain.

She herself was shocked by her own thoughts.

This was the time when they were closest to each other. When they separated, Bai Lu ran back to the classroom and saw the food on the table. She was puzzled:

“Why are there only two boxes?”

Dong Yang was a little frustrated: "I was discovered by the guard, luckily I ran fast."

"Ah? You weren't recognized?"

"No."

"That's good," Bai Lu said, "You guys eat, I'll buy some bread."

Dong Yang stopped her and said, "No, we are going to divide it into three parts. Why did the teacher ask you to go to the office?"

Bai Lu: "I was caught talking behind your back... I'll settle the score with you for the previous times."

"How miserable."

As he spoke, Dong Yang had already picked out some of the food from the two bowls and put it in his own insulated bowl, "Divide it, I'll eat from my own bowl."

"Hey, eat more."

"That's enough."

The carefree days in junior high school are wonderful no matter how you spend them.

weekend.

Bai Lu climbed several floors and stopped in front of her house. Then she put her ear to the door and listened quietly.

There was no sound.

That's right... no matter what, we won't quarrel all day long.

Bai Lu sometimes feels that she should act a little silly, or a little cute, so as to distract her parents and make this couple in the nuclear war feel that there is still happiness in their marriage, and maybe they will quarrel less.

She opened the door and the house was dark, so she called out a few times, but no one was there.

She took out her cell phone and dialed.

"Mom, where have you been?"

"Lulu? You guys have a day off today? I'm sorry... Can you cook for yourself? Mom is working overtime at the company."

"What about dad?"

The other party was silent for a moment.

"How would I know where he was hanging out? He didn't do anything serious all day long, and I just knew..."

"Mom, stop talking...I'm hanging up."

Bai Lu hung up the phone.

She felt very uncomfortable. She didn't want to listen to her mother complaining about her father, nor did she want her father to let her mother down. She didn't want to become a trash can for adults.

At dinner time, she had no appetite. She used to hope that her parents would go out for something so that she could play computer games at home. But now she doesn't want to do that anymore. She just wants her parents to come home.

The weather was hot and there were many mosquitoes at night. She couldn't find mosquito coils, so she had to look for them in her parents' bedroom. She found mosquito coils, but there was no lighter. She opened the bedside table and unexpectedly found a stack of black words on white paper.

……

Dongyang had been doing homework in his room all night and was forced to come out by Tongyao to relax.

The nursery rhyme says: "You should combine work and rest, don't learn to be stupid. We are back, why don't you accompany us."

Dong Yang said: "I won't feel at ease until I finish my homework first."

Nursery rhyme: "Who taught you to be such a good kid?"

Ruan Qian rolled her eyes and reached out to tickle the child's waist. Dong Yang screamed instantly, and then Tong Yao joined the fight. Dong Yang almost cried because of the tickle.

"Don't... I need to take a call..."

The two adults let her go. Dong Yang hid in the corner of the tatami and answered the phone:

"Lulu?"

"Dongyang...can I come and stay at your house today?"

Extra: Winter Sun (Ten)

There was a light rain outside the dark window.

Dongyang changed his shoes and said:

"I'll go down and open the door for Lulu."

"Huh? She wants to come to our house to sleep?" Tong Yao paused while cracking melon seeds between her teeth.

"Yeah." Dong Yang nodded, "I'll go down."

On an early autumn night, she still kept the coolness of summer, but it was a bit chilly outside. Soon, she saw Bai Lu leaning against the door, wearing the hood of her sweater, looking miserable in the continuous drizzle.

Obviously something had happened.

Dongyang rarely saw Bailu in such a low mood, so he quickly opened the door, walked up to Bailu, bent down, tilted his head, looked at her, and asked in a low voice:

"what happened?"

Bai Lu looked away, and suddenly, she hugged Dong Yang's neck and sobbed:

"They are divorced..."

Dong Yang was stunned for a moment, but after she realized what was happening, she was even more at a loss. She hugged Bai Lu, gently stroked her back, and thought of words of comfort as quickly as possible.

"…It's okay. I'll stay with you."

"Come on up, you can watch the anime you recommended to me last time later."

Bai Lu cried for a long time, sniffed, and asked softly: "Are your aunts home?"

"Yes."

Bai Lu shrank back, a little hesitant, or maybe she felt guilty, but she didn't want to go home anymore, so she stared at the door in a daze.

"What's the matter?" Dong Yang pulled her, "We are so familiar with each other. I have been to your house many times before, and they all welcomed you very much."

Bai Lu was stiff and followed Dong Yang upstairs nervously.

She knew Dongyang's family was very kind, but she was also worried about being caught in a premature love affair, especially since Dongyang's aunt was a teacher and would definitely be very strict about such things.

"I'm back!" Dong Yang opened the door and placed his slippers in front of Bai Lu, "This is your pair."

The living room can be seen from the entrance. Bai Lu acted cute and greeted the adults. Tong Yao looked over, smiled, and said to the children:

"Wash up and rest early. Has Lulu told her family?"

Bai Lu was stunned for a moment, then lowered her head: "I said it."

She is not a naughty child and knows the basic principle of not causing trouble to others.

Dongyang shook Bailu's hand, held her hand, and trotted into the bedroom. Once the door was closed, the room felt like their secret base when they were children.

"Let's sleep together tonight." Dong Yang offered.

Bai Lu shuddered and pretended to be casual:

"Ah."

Dongyang turns on the TV:

"Wait a minute, I'll find that anime. How about you take a shower first?"

Bai Lu held her schoolbag and stared at Dongyang's body. Xu Dongyang had obviously taken a shower, and there was a kind of wet cleanliness and fragrant smell. She said "hmm", took out the clothes and pants from her bag, and went into the bathroom.

After taking a shower, Bai Lu shook her hair. In the room, Dong Yang was looking at her with a smile and pointed at the watermelon on the table:

"Clang clang—eat."

The air conditioner is at a pleasant temperature and the anime on TV is always ready to start.

Bai Lu felt that she was taking advantage of her parents' divorce to take advantage of Dong Yang's tenderness.

But when Xu Dongyang was nice to her, she had no resistance at all.

Why resist?

Actually... there is no need to comfort her in this way. After releasing a huge amount of emotions, many sad things are not so sad anymore.

But she was still willing to pretend to be depressed and not recovered, just for this moment of preference.

A bit shameless and mean.

"In fact, the divorce rate is very high now. There are more than ten parents in our class who are divorced."

"How do you know?" Bai Lu was surprised.

"My teacher asked me to sort out my files when I was in the first grade of junior high school." Dong Yang said, "Your parents still live together. Maybe one day they will like each other and think of the good times in the past and remarry."

"Well...I hope so."

"That's how it's played out in TV dramas." Dong Yang took a bite of watermelon. "Even if they don't remarry, if they break up peacefully, they might still be friends. You'll see them often in the future."

Bai Lu pursed her lips and used a spoon to dig out a circle on the watermelon.

In TV dramas, there are often quarrels over child custody, and Bai Lu is afraid of this. Even if they get divorced, she doesn't want her parents to be like enemies.

She said: "If I get married, I will always be good to that person."

She looked into Dong Yang's eyes, and spoke each word sincerely and attentively. Dong Yang was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, and buried his head in eating watermelon:

"Me too."

The TV was facing the bed, and they sat on the bed to watch. In the early morning, Tong Yao saw light coming through the crack of the door, and knocked on the door to remind them to go to bed early. Dong Yang immediately turned off the lights and the TV, and the two of them huddled in the quilt to continue watching.

"Go to sleep if you're tired." Bai Lu saw Dong Yang squinting his eyes, "Don't hold on."

"My eyes are tired, but I'm not mentally sleepy," said Dong Yang.

Bai Lu did not insist. She was just itching to do something. She looked at Dong Yang's lazy cat-like appearance and wanted to take action, but was afraid of being regarded as a pervert. Dong Yang was the sweetheart of Aunt Tong and the others. If she did anything... she would be very sorry for them.

If only Dong Yang could do something to her.

She was lost in thought when suddenly Xu Dongyang's voice rang in her ears:

"If you really get divorced...will you be with your dad or mom?"

Bai Lu didn't expect Dong Yang was still thinking about her. She was silent for a while and said:

"do not know."

Dong Yang held her hand: "We will always be friends anyway."

She seldom said such cheesy words, and she blushed after saying it. But she wanted to make her best friend feel less uneasy when she was most helpless, so she did it.

Bai Lu's face also turned red, and she responded quietly.

However, when her parents' matter was brought up again, she fell into sentimentality again. It was impossible not to be sad, as everyone wanted to have a complete and happy family, let alone having one.

Dong Yang noticed it and comforted her, "It's okay. We've been married for so many years, it's not that easy to separate."

Bai Lu forced a smile, but when she thought of the scenes of her family in the past, she felt like crying.

Dong Yang was silent for a while, blaming himself for bringing up this topic:

"Let's talk about something else." Then he racked his brains and said, "I got my cat back home. Did you see it when you came in? You can check it out tomorrow."

"Well...it's not like I haven't masturbated it before."

Bai Lu held back her tears, and after calming down, she realized once again that she and Xu Dongyang were so close that no matter how hard she tried to endure, the desire would not disappear.

It's only going to get crazier.
