Chapter 41 40. The Moment

Chen Jianxia didn't mention the quarrel between her parents to Li Ran. Such embarrassing housework is hard to talk about anyway; she didn't say anything, and Li Ran didn't ask what happened in the past few days, just quietly She spent time studying with her at Pizza Hut, he read comics, and she buried herself in the lessons she had borrowed from Chu Tiankuo. Sometimes when I see Xia, I hope that the college entrance examination will never come. I will always be a sophomore in high school. I will be stuck in the same day repeated like in a science fiction novel. It doesn’t matter if the calendar is frozen. She can use this infinite loop of days to do different things with Li Ran. things, no more worries.

She used to look forward to tomorrow so much.Tomorrow you can take the university entrance exam, you can leave, you can become a strong woman who lives in a five-star hotel... Now, the thought of stopping at this moment pops up from time to time, and I don't know whether to feel guilty or fortunate. After copying the last page of notes, she breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at the boy who was resting on the table, and smiled. Chen Jianxia didn't do very well in the mid-term exam, and he couldn't tell whether it was because of being distracted by love, occasionally getting out of order, or being too stupid.Of course, the last thing she wanted was to be stupid.

Stupidity is irredeemable. Li Ran put the book on the table and comforted Chen Jianxia: "It's not the college entrance examination, why bother? Come and eat some cake." Chen Jianxia pushed away the spoon that was stretched out: "You don't understand me at all. You won't be sad even if you pass the exam." "Then you go to a make-up class, I think Ling..." Li Ran quickly stopped talking, "I think my buddies in junior high school are all taking a make-up class, but it seems to be called a competition class? Anyway, Lin Yang Yuhuai and their grades They are all very good, and I still make up lessons, why don't you go?"

Seeing Xia was a bit unwilling.She never took tutoring, which used to be her pride. "Okay," she sighed, "then why don't you sign up for a class?" "Because I won't be sad if I get zero in the exam." See summer qi knot.I called my family at night and asked for an extra 500 yuan per month for supplementary tuition. "Why is it so much five hundred?" Mom was surprised. "One class is two hours, 25 yuan per hour. I only make up two courses of mathematics and physics, and the total is 100 yuan for four hours every week, which is 400 to 500 yuan a month." Jian Xiali did the calculations and added, "We Almost all the students in the class are in that class, which is taught by a special teacher from Zhenhua, and it is also close to the school.”

My mother was in pain, but she agreed. After all, studying is a big deal, but she couldn't help complaining a few words: "Why do I have to make up lessons all of a sudden? I didn't take it before." "I didn't do well in the mid-term exam, I want to work harder." "Why didn't you pass the exam? How much did you rank? Your grades dropped? Did you not pay attention in class? I think you should be the same as before. Make good use of the forty-five minutes of get out of class, and hurry up after class... " A series of questions made Chen Jianxia feel angry.Usually I don't care about her grades, and when it comes to asking for money to make up lessons, I push back and forth, just like when I bought a CD player, I just wait for her to let go and say that I don't need to spend this money, and she will work hard to improve her grades, one point There is no need to spend money.

"How many students in County No. 1 Middle School don't make up lessons? Besides, I'm in Zhenhua, do you know how stressful it is here? Have you ever cared about it? Xiaowei elementary school learns English in advance, and junior high school can't wait to make up music lessons. You Why don't you let him work harder?" "Why do you speak so badly, kid! Why do you keep talking about your brother? The whole family is like an enemy. I think you can't even remember where the door opens!" Chen Jianxia hung up the phone angrily, turned off the phone, and sat on the bedside to cry.Even Li Ran said that over the past year or so, she has improved a lot, she has become more confident, generous, and doesn't like to cry anymore—it turns out that only a phone call from her family can bring her back to her original form.

So this remedial class has changed from a loss of dignity to a must, must, must, otherwise she will not take herself seriously. The matter of money is easy to solve. Li Ran said that he can save money by taking less taxis.In the past, Chen Jianxia was very concerned about who spent more money, but now he is calm and no longer hypocritical.She went to teach at the school building next to the Affiliated Hospital of Medical University for 500 yuan, and ran to occupy a seat early the next day after school. "You go." Li Ran said goodbye to her at the back door. "I thought you would attend the class with me." Jian Xia was a little embarrassed—she wondered whether Li Ran would go in with her along the way, Da Lala sat beside her and said, and I also paid the money With you.This is in line with Li Ran's usual style.

Li Ran smiled: "Didn't you spend time making up lessons for the sake of improving your grades? I'm afraid it will affect you. Listen carefully." Jian Xia nodded vigorously: "You don't need to come pick me up at night, it's so close, I'll just take a walk back." "What's more, it's easy to meet acquaintances." Li Ran ruthlessly exposed her true intention, seeing Xia Heran, he acquiesced. This remedial class covers one floor, and the classrooms on the fourth and fifth floors are open at the same time. The conditions of each classroom are not very good. Maybe it is to make more people. All the tables and chairs are long, and everyone is crowded. It was fully opened again, and after a while, I was sweating slightly when I saw Xia.Fortunately, the teacher who taught mathematics was an old teacher who was leading the third year of high school in Zhenhua. The lectures were not bad. She worked hard on the reporter-type questions in her new notebook. Two hours passed quickly, and she didn't move her butt during the break.

It is very rare for her to maintain such attention, because Ling Xiangqian is sitting on the far left in the row in front of her. She seems to have not listened carefully to the class.On the far right side of the front row, sat Yu Sisi who was listening to the class with her chin resting on her back. Ambush on all sides. However, Chen Jianxia's biggest advantage is his single-minded concentration. After listening to the course, he can't see anything else. It was already nine o'clock when school was over, and everyone flocked out, only a few students who were still particularly energetic surrounded the teacher and kept asking about difficult exercises.Seeing that Xia walked back to the dormitory by a road with few people, she turned her head without any objection, and Ling Xiangqian was not far behind her, her face was illuminated by the screen of her mobile phone—then she tripped over a pit on the asphalt road because she couldn’t see the road With a fall, the phone fell directly to Jian Xia's feet, Jian Xia picked it up and handed it to her, Ling Xiangqian smiled brightly.

"Look, did you break it?" "It will be fine after being dropped." Ling Xiangqian opened and closed her phone twice, casually stuffed it into the pocket of her down jacket, and saw Xia Lu's school uniform: "Are you also a sophomore in our high school?" The two introduced themselves to each other. Seeing that Xia moved her lips, before she could say the friendly phrase "You are famous, I have known you for a long time", his mobile phone rang. Ling Xiangqian motioned for her to answer the phone first.Jian Xia didn't expect that as soon as the phone was connected, thunder and fury came out from the receiver. In the secluded alley, she was unprepared.

The reason for my mother's anger is simple: Jian Xia turned off the phone to concentrate on class, and my mother called the mail room downstairs several times and couldn't get through. The teacher on duty knocked on the door and no one answered, so she replied truthfully to Jian Xia's mother.Two days ago, there was a backlog of fire due to the make-up class, and new firewood was added before it could be extinguished. Chen Jianxia took into account that Ling Xiangqian was next to her, and there was a bit of audio leakage from the receiver, so she didn't want to be ashamed, so she simply replied: "I'm making up lessons, so I'll go back to the dormitory and tell you." "What kind of lessons are you making up? I just said the day before yesterday that I will make up for it today. Do you think your father and I are stupid? I ask you what are you doing—" Jian Xia quickly hung up the phone, turned off the phone, heaved a sigh of relief when he heard the shutdown music, and smiled awkwardly at Ling Xiangqian. "Is the family looking for you in a hurry?" She didn't know how much Ling Xiangqian had heard, so she said perfunctorily, "No. It's menopause, it's annoying me to death." Call yourself like a disgruntled young lady. Ling Xiangqian nodded her head: "Then we really feel sorry for each other. My mother is also very annoying. I have been texting and arguing with her just now in class. Sometimes I find it strange that so many simple truths don't make sense." Maybe the alley is too quiet, and the atmosphere softens the mood.Jian Xia smiled wryly and said, "At least your mother is willing to text you to reason, right? She won't keep yelling at you on the phone, will she?" Ling Xiangqian didn't know what she was thinking, and shook her head heavily.Jian Xia wisely stopped asking. "What's ringing?" She listened intently, and finally noticed the earphones hanging around Ling Xiangqian's neck: "Did you forget to turn them off?" Ling Xiangqian squeezed one into her left ear: "No, it's still singing." "What song is it?" "Ok?" Jian Xia has listened to a lot of songs with Li Ran in the past two years, and the CD player has been worn warm in her schoolbag, which often makes her deskmate Yu Sisi bruise. "I asked, what song is playing?" Ling Xiangqian used another earphone instead of answering it, and inserted it into Jianxia's right ear. "The Moment" by Stefanie Sun. Ling Xiangqian first hummed along with the melody in the earphones. Seeing Xia singing along softly, the two girls looked at each other and smiled. At this moment, time becomes luggage, surpassing the joys and sorrows of life, accompanying me to move forward... The last line of the lyrics is, "I'll find freedom, freedom." After singing, he just walked to the entrance of the alley. During the interval between the next song, seeing Xia returning the earphones, Ling Xiangqian waved his hands goodbye. Jian Xia stood alone under the street lamp for a while, feeling that life is wonderful.There is still a mess behind her to clean up, and the future is uncertain. She used to be very disgusted with Ling Xiangqian... But inexplicably shared such a wonderful two minutes with her. Such a moment made her instinctively realize that there are so many layers of life, how much did she miss when she buried her head in front of the desk?The Chen Jianxia that Li Ran just met was almost an ignorant animal. She reached out and grabbed the warm light from the street lamp. How far can these hands reach, how much can they grasp? The beauty may lie precisely in its ephemerality. Seeing Xia sitting on the bed after washing, he turned on the phone anxiously, and within two minutes the call came in again.She silently endured and endured it, but what her mother said always reminded Jian Xia of Yu Dan's indiscriminate spying--my mother did indeed mention that Teacher Yu said that a girl's heart can be wild. It is easy to cause irreversible consequences. What are irreversible consequences?Have a big belly?Jian Xia felt insulted, and lost her temper, saying that she paid the supplementary tuition with the only cash she had in hand, and that she was going to class today, "I didn't go out to play around! If I want to play, I have to have capital what!" Seeing how Xia's mother had ever heard her speak like this, she was so angry that she was about to faint, and her father answered the phone at a critical moment, and said, "If it's against you, come back and study for me tomorrow. I don't think you can learn anything interesting." The growl is far away from the microphone, so far away that it is distorted. Dad's voice was very calm, criticizing Jian Xia for not talking like that, and her parents will definitely give her the money for making up lessons, there is no need to do this kind of deliberate confrontation.Then, let her go to bed early and hang up the phone. Seeing that Xia Xia was about to explode, but he dared to continue yelling at the hung up phone, crying and shouting, and wanted to call Li Ran after crying enough, but finally put down the phone wearily. What do you say?Li Ran is not her father. She turned off the light, lay on the bed, looked up at the small lonely light bulb on the ceiling, looked at it for a long time without blinking, and slowly hummed a song. Or that The Moment.About the freedom that Chen Jianxia could not find. The next day after school, Jian Xia went back to the dormitory to put away her schoolbag, and changed into a light shoulder bag to pack notes and math workbooks for today's math class. When I went downstairs, I received a call from my father, saying, let’s finish school, I’m at the door of your dormitory. Dad sent Jian Xia to make-up classes, saying that he would go to the restaurant opposite the Medical University to have some food and pick her up after class. Seeing that Xia arrived in the classroom, she hurriedly sent a text message to Li Ran: "I'm really sorry today." "What's the matter, I saw that it was your father, so I just stood opposite and didn't follow. Are you still in class today?" "Well. I had a quarrel with my family, and my father probably came to educate me." She didn't expect that when she sat down at the barbecue restaurant opposite the Medical University, her father ordered two bottles of beer and asked her to drink one too. "Dad will compensate you." Jian Xia was stunned.Dad asked for a glass and poured her half a glass. "It's our fault. But you shouldn't talk to your mother like that, but... well, it's still our fault. You are so nervous about studying, you should have cared more about you long ago. " Dad took a sip himself.Jian Xia hesitated for a while, then also picked up the cup. "Your mother is not in a good mood recently, and it's my fault; besides, with your second uncle, many things have to be sorted out, so it's hard for her. The family is not short of your money for making up lessons. Your mother may just think it's strange. You never She didn't make up lessons, and didn't make her worry too much, so she just asked casually..." "Dad!" Jian Xia interrupted him, "Stop talking about that. I know." Dad smiled, shook his head again, and stopped explaining. Although Jianxia doesn't like her mother, she has been more attached to her since she was a child, and rarely chats with her father alone, and the father and daughter don't know what to say. Do you really like Aunt Lu?I ask you who are obviously partial to your younger brother, why didn't you give me away when you were young?Let me introduce you to Li Ran? Seeing that Xia turned her head to look out the window, the room was warm, and the window was covered with thick grilles, she pressed it with her index finger, and pressed out a small melting point. "You have encountered trouble here, and you can call Dad directly in the future, whether you want money or are in a bad mood, it doesn't matter. Your mother is busy, you..." The two bottles of wine were almost finished. Seeing that Xia's face was a little red and she was no longer so angry, she nodded and said, "Okay." Dad patted her on the shoulder uncomfortably. The relationship between father and daughter is too unfamiliar, and these movements are so stiff. "You are a good boy, I have wronged you." Jian Xia's nose was sore when he heard this, but he lowered his head stubbornly, not giving up. Later, Li Ran and Jian Xia mentioned that they had met Ling Xiangqian's mother, she was a somewhat nervous woman, she spoke in a high voice, and seemed to be easily stimulated. "I think it's not easy for her...I'm not talking about her mother." Li Ran said. See Xia Ruo thoughtful. Winter is really easy to make people depressed.Her spare time was enriched by supplementary classes, and her father supported her to take a few more subjects, so she made up chemistry and biology, and she had classes four nights a week, and she was not able to see Li Ran as often as before.Jian Xia and Ling Xiangqian never got to know each other well.The lights in the classroom are very similar to the ultraviolet rays emitted by the currency detectors. Everyone is inspected so clearly, and there will never be a moment when you let go of your guard in the dark alley. On a particularly cold night, Jian Xia asked the teacher a few questions, the last one came out of the classroom, walked a few steps with his head buried, and heard someone laughing across the road. Li Ran stood under the street lamp, looking at her with a smile. Jian Xia looked around, ran over quickly, and took his hand naturally, both of them were wearing gloves, but the touch was still soft.Although they have been together secretly for a while, Jian Xia would still be so ashamed to bury her head in the scarf that Li Ran gave her every time there was a little intimacy, rubbing and rubbing.The two held hands and creaked and stepped on the snow, and slid over the icy place together, and it didn't hurt anyway if they fell. "How is today, is the class going well?" "Is there anything going well in class?" Jian Xia tilted his head to look at him, "Don't tell me you don't 'smooth' in class every day?" Li Ran snorted and tapped her on the head. "However, have you thought about what university you want to study?" Jian Xia asked. "Should I ask you?" "Me? Of course I want to go to the best place I can get into. There is no doubt," Jian Xia said in a proud tone, and when he was being led, he became very much like himself, "So what about you?" "Wherever you go, I will go." "It will be nice." "When did I fail to do what I said?" "Really? You can't get into the school I can get into." "It would be nice to be in one city." "What if we can't be in the same city?" "Why not in the same city?" Yes, why.Chen Jianxia couldn't tell, she seemed to be looking forward to a bad accident, it wasn't that she had nothing to do to curse herself, it was just that she didn't want to believe that fate would treat them so kindly—no, it wasn't them. is her. Why did she never get so much in the past ten years, but at this time, her heart was filled with flustered happiness?There must be some conspiracy, it must not be so smooth. It seems that thinking like this, and humbly cursing yourself like this, can prevent extreme joy from turning into sorrow.
