"You..." Geng Wenjia pointed her forehead, "I really don't know what to say about you. She is a very smart person on weekdays. Why can't you get out after getting into a dead end? Although Bai Xiuzhi is good, if you don't have the intention of you, I advise you to give up quickly. There are so many young talents in the world, why do you have to hang yourself on a tree?"

Sun Yi lowered her head and said with a resentful expression, "I... I just can't figure it out, what's wrong with me? Why does he just don't like me?"

Geng Wenjia said, "You are good everywhere, but he just doesn't like it. What's the solution?"

"Then...what does he like? I can change it!" Sun Yi burst into tears in grievance.

Geng Wenjia looked at her with some surprise, "It is a stupid behavior to change yourself for others. You are a smart person and should not do such stupid things. Moreover, changing yourself is not a simple thing. What should you do if he still doesn't like it at that time?"

"I...I don't know." Sun Yi shook her head, "Wen Jia, what do you think I'm going to do?"

Geng Wenjia sighed, "I don't know, how can others give you advice on this kind of thing? In the final analysis, it depends on your own. I just can't figure out where do you like Bai Xiuzhi?"

"I..." Sun Yi said with a blushing face, "I can't say it either, I just think... he is a little different from others."

Geng Wenjia said, "You'd better understand your own thoughts first, whether you like him, or because he is arrogant and never notices you, which makes you feel resentful of competing with him. You have to figure out your own heart and then think of a way."

Sun Yi was completely stunned.

yes……

Did he like Bai Xiuzhi or was angry because he didn't pursue him like other male classmates, so he seemed to prove to someone and insisted on letting him pay attention to him.

Seeing that she understood her words, Geng Wenjia simply stopped talking, and did not even tell her the rumors about Bai Xiuzhi that had been circulating in the school recently.

It is said that he was very close to a girl not far from the back of the school. He had to run there if he had anything to do, and even reached out to help with the work. Everyone said that Bai Xiuzhi fell in love with someone and wanted to be a son-in-law. As for what the girl is from and what her surname is, it is unknown.

At this moment, Bai Xiuzhi happened to come to the ragged door. He tidied up his clothes, took a deep breath, and then stepped forward and patted the door.

No one answered.

Bai Xiuzhi looked inward curiously along the crack of the door, but saw that the yard was pitch black and there was no movement. Bai Xiuzhi called the door twice, but no one agreed. However, the neighbor next door walked out and saw the figure in front of the door carefully carrying the lantern. After getting closer and seeing it, he smiled and said, "Oh, isn't this Bai student? Why are you here during the New Year? Are you here to find Jun Zhuo?"

Bai Xiuzhi smiled shyly, "Yes, she doesn't seem to be at home."

"I went out early in the morning!" The neighbor next door was an elderly mother-in-law with gray hair and a coat covered with patches. She smiled kindly, "I'm busy all day long. No one knows what she is busy with, and I haven't seen anyone all day."

Bai Xiuzhi couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, but he nodded without saying anything, "Since that's the case, I'll say goodbye first and come to see him someday."

The old lady said, "Why do you come to my house and sit down, maybe she will come back soon?"

Bai Xiuzhi politely refused, "No, today is New Year's Eve and the day for families to reunite, so I won't bother you."

The old lady didn't force herself, and said with a wry smile, "What's the best time to reunite in such a difficult day?" Then she slowly returned to the yard with a lantern and tied the door.

Bai Xiuzhi knew that Shang Junzhuo was not at home, but he still stood at the door for a while. I don’t know how long it took, and the whole alley became quieter, so he was about to leave. Before leaving, he specially placed a few stones in front of Shang Junzhuo’s door, and one by one, they turned into the shape of a small tower.

After doing all this, Bai Xiuzhi turned around and left disappointed.

On the way back, a few crisp sounds of firecrackers occasionally came along the street, and clusters of fireworks rose from time to time in the night sky.

This is the new year.

When I passed by the gate of the inn, many homeless children suddenly surrounded me and stretched out my dirty hands, "Young Master, please give me some money to help me!"

"I haven't eaten for several days, I'm going to starve to death!"

"My sister is seriously ill, please ask the master to give me some money to get medicine."

The sound wave after wave, and Bai Xiuzhi was surrounded by the middle and could not escape.

Seeing the pale and thin children in front of him, he couldn't bear to reach into his arms and took out some scattered banknotes and distributed them to everyone. This time, countless people came out of the darkness, and many adults were all stretching out their hands, shouting for money, and even before Bai Xiuzhi could speak, he wanted to snatch them from his hands.

Bai Xiuzhi had never seen such a scene. He was a little stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do.

At this moment, there was a thud of footsteps behind him, followed by a bright and crisp woman shouting, "I won't let it go, I don't want to live anymore, right?" Then there was a sound of pounding sticks. The beggars yelled a few times and ran away with their heads in their arms, but they rarely encountered such a kind-hearted sucker. No one was willing to go away, and their eyes were greedily staring at Bai Xiuzhi.

Bai Xiuzhi turned around happily as he heard the sound, "Jun Zhuo, why are you here?"

Shang Junzhuo was wearing a ill-fitting thorny cotton coat. It was obvious that it was left by her father, with a lot of patches on it. She had short hair like a man, her skin was dry and yellow, and her eyes were extremely bright. She held a big wooden stick in her hand and pointed to the beggars around her and scolded, "Those who have hands and feet are not enterprising, they are thinking about how to take advantage of others. Haven't been beaten enough yet, are you? Get out of here!"

A few voices suddenly sounded among the beggar, "What are you doing? Didn't you ask for it?"

Shang Junzhuo glared at his eyes, "Damn, you dare to talk back, I think you just deserve a beating!"

After saying that, he swung the wooden stick and rushed over again.

Bai Xiuzhi grabbed her, "Forget it, don't fight and kill in the big day."

Shang Junzhuo gave up. When he turned his head and saw that Bai Xiuzhi's clothes on his chest were scratched by beggars. She immediately helped wipe them and complained, "You are so kind-hearted, why should you pay attention to these people? I helped one, and there were two and the third ones. How many such people are there in Nanjing? Can you help me? I don't have to cause trouble for myself. There are also people in the world who are more difficult than them. If everyone becomes a beggar when they encounter obstacles that cannot be overcome, then what hope does our country and nation have? You are not helping them, but harming them!"

Shirasuji smiled and bent his eyes, "Okay, I remember, I won't be there next time."

"Do you dare to have a next time?" Shang Junzhuo shook his eyes with a stick, "Next time, I will beat them."

The beggars around saw that they were talking nonsense, and they all shrank their shoulders awkwardly and hid in the darkness. Bai Xiuzhi asked, "Where are you going?"

"Don't mention it." Shang Junzhuo waved his hand carelessly, "I went to the mountain to pick up firewood! The weather is getting colder and colder. My father has no firewood. He, an adult, can still hold on, but it has made the children suffer. I went into the mountain before dawn today, and went back and forth four or five times before I picked up a truck of firewood. It's not easy now. There are a lot of people going into the mountain to pick up firewood. The foot of the mountain is bare, and the things that can be burned have been picked up by people. It takes a long way to pick up some rotten wood."
