Every lunch break from now on, Xuezhu would go to the music classroom to practice piano. She borrowed the exercise book from her classmates, and the songs in the catalog were all songs that she remembered very deeply.

Many of them are music that my mother once forced her to sit in front of the piano during holidays and practice within the specified time.

She was annoyed when she saw these songs before, let alone sitting on the piano to practice them.

Now even if her mother is not around to urge her, she will practice for more than an hour, picking up the piano again after a few years. She is still not used to the fingers when she is rehabilitating, but soon the muscle memory becomes familiar with the piano keys for her first.

The song I used to feel annoyed, but now I can even taste it if I listen to myself, whether it is sad or happy.

When I was a child, these songs were obviously a bunch of manic stitches in my heart. Sometimes, because the songs were too difficult, I even cried in aggrievedly, so my mother would not allow her to be lazy just because she shed tears. No matter how pitiful she was, she should practice the songs she should practice as usual.

While listening to her own songs, she missed every weekend she had with her mother before.

Xuezhu suddenly missed her mother very much.

Every word "for your good" from my mother seems to be lingering in her ears, paving the way for her future and striving to give her the best future.

The classmate who was helping to hear if there is any wrong sound suddenly whispered to others: "Pei Xuezhu plays well, why are she crying?"

Other students didn't know and guessed: "Maybe because they played too well, I feel happy that I can definitely add scores to the college entrance examination, right?"

The classmates didn't ask her tacitly, and looked away and pretended not to see her.

***

After the competition, the busy lunch break every day gave Xuezhu a good reward.

Two months later, Xuezhu, who worked hard to overcome the discomfort caused by the unfamiliar environment after transferring to school, also gained considerable benefits after the college entrance examination.

At 5:00 p.m. on June 8, the whole school was in full swing at the moment when the last exam was over.

The candidates took a photo at the entrance of the examination room, discussing questions that they might never look back in their lives, and playing and laughing, where to go to have fun later.

Xue Zhu thought that after she was freed, she would laugh as much as her classmates, and even stayed home all night and had fun all night. But the fact is that at the class banquet, her deep memories that were still deep two days ago suddenly disappeared like smoke. The years that had been staying up late will slowly become unforgettable memories in her heart as the end of high school.

It turns out that this is what I feel after the college entrance examination.

Xuezhu finally understood why some people were as calm as usual, while others were crying and laughing.

It's not for the exam, but for three years of youth.

I had been depressed, disgusted, and resisted, and finally left her and would never do it again.

***

A few days after the college entrance examination, Pei Lianyi drove to accompany his daughter back to the school dormitory to pack up his things.

After packing up the things and giving her small graduation gifts prepared by her roommates one by one, several girls hugged each other and choked up to wish each other a bright future.

Pei Lianyi helped her carry her heavier suitcase downstairs, and Xuezhu walked out of the dormitory step by step with her schoolbag on her back.

When she walked out, she saw several boys standing at the door of the dormitory.

Cy Yue was surrounded in the middle.

He was also wearing a blue and white summer school uniform. He saw that he had been crazy outside these two days and had not even returned home.

Seeing Pei Lianyi beside Xuezhu, Chi Yue was stunned for a while, then nodded and greeted: "Hello uncle."

Pei Lianyi also nodded: "Hello classmate, are you Xiaozhu's high school classmate?"

"I'm Chi Yue," Chi Yue said with pursed his lips, "When I was in elementary school, Pei Xuezhu and I had a fight at school, and the teacher specifically told me about you and my mother during the parent-teacher meeting."

"..." Pei Lianyi frowned and thought for a long time, and finally realized, "Ah, it's that very naughty little boy."

Although Chi Yue didn't want to admit it, he nodded: "Yes, it's me."

"Xiao Zhu told me that you transferred to school after graduating from junior high school. I didn't expect you to go to this high school too," Pei Lianyi couldn't help laughing, looking up and down at the young man standing in front of him, sighing, "I've grown up, you and Xiao Zhu have grown up, and you can't tell what you were like back then at all. My uncle almost didn't recognize him."

Chi Yue rarely showed a shy smile.

"Then are you here to find us Xiaozhu?" Pei Lianyi asked again.

The boys on the side answered for Chi Yue in a verbal manner: "Uncle, Chi Yue has something to say to Pei Xuezhu, and he has been waiting here for more than ten minutes."

"Oh, is that right? Then you guys talk," Pei Lianyi patted Xuezhu on the shoulder, "Dad went to the car to wait for you, and you came over after you talk to your classmates."

Xuezhu: "Yes."

Pei Lianyi dragged his suitcase away, walked a few meters away and couldn't help but look back and look around.

The boys who came with Chi Yue also made excuses to leave.

Xuezhu pulled the bag and asked him, "Do you have something to do?"

Chi Yue wanted to speak but stopped, and suddenly a premonition came to his heart. He found that Uncle Pei had not yet walked away, and looked back at them from time to time.

"...It's nothing, I'll ask you how well you did in the exam."

"Well enough."

"What else can it mean?"

"It means normal performance."

"Then where are you going to go to college?"

Xuezhu shook her head: "I haven't thought about it yet, let's talk about it."

Chi Yue said: "I remember when you were in elementary school, you said you would go to Beijing to study in college in the future."

Xuezhu lowered her eyes and said softly: "That's what she said so long ago, it won't count."

"Okay, I'll ask you again when filling out the application form." Chi Yue didn't ask any more questions and turned around and wanted to leave.

Xuezhu called him: "You have been waiting downstairs of my dormitory for so long to ask me how I did in the exam? Then can't you ask me on QQ?"

Chi Yue turned around again and said lazily: "I just passed by your dormitory and just came to ask."

Xuezhu walked closer to him a few steps.

When Chi Yue saw her coming, he looked slightly stunned, his feet were still pinned to the spot, and he leaned back unconsciously, clenched his hands in his pocket, and his tone was a bit fierce: "What are you doing?"

The two of them were twenty centimeters away. Xue Zhu was much shorter than him. Chi Yue lowered his head and saw that the tip of her perky nose was slightly wrinkled.

Sniff the smell on his body.

Chi Yue shivered all over, and the Adam's apple moved up and down uncomfortably, and said hoarsely: "Are you a dog? What do you smell?"

"You have just come back all night, and there is still smell of alcohol and smoke on your body." She quickly stepped back and covered her nose with disgust.

She stepped back and opened the distance. Chi Yue breathed a sigh of relief, shrugged his chin and muttered quietly: "I just drank some wine and didn't smoke, so don't make any mistakes."

"Chi Yue." Xue Zhu suddenly called his name.

Chi Yue turned his head and stared at the tree planted by the roadside of the girl's bedroom: "What are you doing?"

"Do you still want to go to a college with me?"

Chi Yue pursed his lips and snorted: "You fart. Ask you how well you did in the exam, just want to go to a college with you? Narcissism."

Xuezhu was so angry by his arrogant attitude that she hummed: "Don't think that now we make peace, I will forget how you treated me when you were a child."

Chi Yue: "..."

"If you really want to go to a college with me, I can't tell you, but I have a condition-" she said slowly.

You're the same.

Chi Yue said in his heart.

Then he asked, "What are the conditions?"

"You solemnly apologize to me for your childhood."

Chi Yue was speechless: "How long ago has it happened? Do you need it?"

Xuezhu said with a look of "You care about me" and said, "If I say there is, there will be."

He stared at her, and saw that there was a sly and lively light in her eyes, and his mood was complicated.

Before, I felt that Pei Xuezhu's temperament changed drastically, and she was as quiet as she was, but she was still as stingy and annoying as before.

I was so lazy to pay attention to her. Chi Yue turned around and left, leaving a sentence: "I'm not sorry."

Xuezhu saw that he left without looking back and didn't stop him. In fact, she didn't care whether he apologized or not. It was so long ago that she hadn't cared about it. She just couldn't stand the young master Chi Yue's temper, arrogant and domineering, and rude to others. If others can tolerate her, she can't tolerate her, and she is not his mother, so why should she be angry?

I really don't know why I wasted so few minutes.

After getting into the car, Xuezhu lowered her head to play with her mobile phone. Pei Lianyi, who was driving in the main driver, suddenly asked, "Xiaozhu, what did your classmate tell you just now?"

"It's nothing, just ask me how I did the exam."

"Just ask this? Is there anything else?"

"It's gone."

"...You didn't lie to your father, did you?"

Xuezhu looked up at her father, and said inexplicably: "What am I lying to you?"

The father and daughter looked at each other for a few seconds. Pei Lianyi started the car, coughed a few times, and said softly: "Okay, then go home."

Xuezhu continued to look down at her phone again.
