Chapter 9 The eighth silent deskmate

Jie Chen also went to school for several years when he was a child. In the last year of school, the seats were adjusted in the class, and Jie Chen had a new deskmate. I don't know anything about this new deskmate, because the teacher has always arranged the seats according to the height of the students.In the past few years, the tall and fat new deskmate has been sitting in the back row, while Jie Chen is relatively thin and small, so the seat is closer to the front. But this year, Jie An's height has grown rapidly, so Jie An and his new deskmate had the opportunity to sit together.

As for the new tablemate, Jie An only knows that his father is a veteran, because sometimes during class breaks, he would stand in the middle of the yard and perform some kung fu that he learned from his father. Jie Chen doesn't communicate much with his new deskmate, because the deskmate's only hobby is to sleep, no matter what the class is, as soon as the class starts, he starts to sleep on the desk. There is only one teacher, maybe because he is used to it, or maybe because his deskmate has always had good grades, so the teacher basically doesn't care about him. It doesn't matter if he sleeps at the same table to avoid anger, but the trouble is that every time he falls asleep, his body will stretch out, slowly filling up the small table.Sometimes when he fell asleep, he would wave his arms and sweep the stationery for quitting anger everywhere.

At first, Jiechen endured it all the time, but in the end he couldn't bear it anymore, so he started negotiations with his deskmate, the content of which was to sign a "non-aggression treaty".We drew a line on the table and stipulated that no special reason should be crossed.Considering the size of his deskmate, Jie Chen also made necessary concessions, allocating more territory to him than to himself. The deskmate was very cooperative, said that there was no problem, and then fell asleep. It didn't take long for Jie Chen to discover that such things as rules are made for sober people, and are useless for those who are not sober, and Jie Chen's deskmate is almost never sober.

Jie Chen complained to him while get out of class was over, his deskmate listened obediently, and didn't reply, which made Jie Chen feel embarrassed to continue. After a few days, the conflict finally intensified. When the deskmate was sleeping, he swept a bottle of ink on the desk to the front, staining the clothes of the female student in the front row.The female classmate cried all day, and her deskmate was given a good lesson by the teacher. The tablemate got angry and quarreled with Jie Chen for no reason, and finally the two stopped talking.Since then, the classmate at the same table has not slept in class. Sometimes he turns his head and accidentally meets Jie's eyes. The two quickly put away their smiles and look at each other fiercely.

I don't remember how long this cold war lasted. Jie Chen only remembered that the relationship between the two eased a little later, but neither of them spoke to each other.Later, Jie An left the school and never saw him again. Some time ago, Jie Chen accidentally met his deskmate on the road, and the two sat on the stone by the road and chatted for a long time.Compared to then, he looked thinner.Since then, he has lacked sleep, so he has maintained his figure. To be honest, when I met him, Jie Chen couldn't even remember his name, and those past events were only recalled after a long time in Jie Chen's memory.

Many times, when we remember yesterday's resentment, it may already be a ridiculous thing, but there are still many people who can't let it go.
