Chapter 44: The better him

(No.216—No.219)

The "One Two Nine" Chorus Contest passed flatly.
The first and second classes are indeed a deadly posture. Class one’s self-selected repertoire was "Sailor", with drums and electric guitars all on stage, shocking the audience; Class two really brought up a piano, accompanied by Lin Yang, and even after singing the first "Yellow River Cantata" Changed the formation, collectively took off the first set of performance clothes, revealing the tender yellow T-shirt inside, and sang a song of "Love" by the little tigers in sign language. Ling Xiangqian led the audience and clapped hands with rhythm in the front. The uncomfortable male classmates didn't know what their surnames were.
For example, classmate × Yanliang.
Our class sang without any surprises, without any major mistakes-in fact, all the classes did not make any major mistakes, but when the first and second classes were so noisy, the following competitions can only be described as plain and unremarkable. Up.
The last class two won the first prize, class one and the sixteenth class won the second prize-perhaps the outstanding thing about the sixteenth class is that they sent three classmates dressed as the female Red Army and ran around the whole auditorium holding red flags.
All other classes tied for the third prize.
Everyone is a little frustrated, but there is nothing to complain about. Although we have spent our thoughts on clothing, it is indeed not the most diligent one. Compared with the posture of a few classes that want to eat people, our revolutionary consciousness is obviously not high.
After returning to work, Wen Xiaoxiao cried.
Even though my feelings for Wen Xiaoxiao have always been complicated, I feel sorry for her at this moment. She put in the most hard work in this matter. The weak-literate girl helped everyone connect with costumes, organize rehearsals, and carried an electronic piano to accompany them all the way for the competition, but only got this result.
Zhang Ping was about to write Zhang Ji's "Fengqiao Night Mooring" on the blackboard again. As soon as he wrote the two characters, he was booed down by us. He relieved others with that trick, not much better than my dad.
"This kind of competition, the important thing is the process of everyone working hard for it together. When I grow up, I think about it, everyone wears the Republican student uniform, rehearses together, and fights together. What a wonderful thing, what is the use of that broken certificate? The college entrance examination can't add points!
No matter what Zhang Ping said, the sluggish state in the class couldn't be changed for a while. Wen Xiaoxiao stood up and went out, Zhang Ping quickly signaled Xu Yanliang to chase after him to comfort him. Xu Yanliang said that Wen Xiaoxiao probably ran to the women's bathroom and cried, and it seems inappropriate for a big boy to go to the women's bathroom at this time.
Zhang Ping didn't know which of the tendons was wrong, so he glanced at me: "Hey, Geng, you can help everyone to comfort Wen Xiaoxiao, I heard Xu Yanliang say that you are not writing our class log? Show her all the photos you took, think about beautiful things, ah, how beautiful life is, cry and cry."
Under the ardent gaze of all the classmates, I had no choice but to stand up and take my camera out to find Wen Xiaoxiao.
After walking a few steps, he turned around and took out a box of removable facial tissues from Yu Huai's desk.

I'm afraid that the whole class only knows in my mind that the person Wen Xiaoxiao wants to see the last is me.
I heard the sound of sobbing near a cubicle in the women's toilet, so I knocked on the door: "Wen Xiaoxiao?"
"Who?"
"It's me, Geng Geng. You... don't cry."
I am really not suitable for comforting people. Don't cry, don't be sad, don't be unhappy... As long as the other person yells at me, "Why can I stop me from being sad!"-I will be able to lose words immediately.
Wen Xiaoxiao ignored me, and continued to make fun. There are no outsiders here, she doesn't have to give me face.
I stretched the tissue from the empty space above the door a little bit: "Then do you want to wipe your nose?"
After a few seconds, she reached out to take it, and I quickly pulled the paper away.
"If you want to wipe your nose, open the door." I said.
Nothing inside.
"How unpleasant the ladies' toilet smells, I know a place where you can cry hard and nobody cares, I'll take you there. You open the door."
This sentence was very convincing, and the doorbolt was pulled open with a scream.
Wen Xiaoxiao, whose eyes were swollen into peaches, lowered her head and didn't look at me. She held her spectacles in one hand, and just asked in a nasal voice, "Where?"
In fact, where else can I take people, except the top floor of the administrative district.
It took three minutes at the earliest from our classroom. During our silent journey, Wen Xiaoxiao blew his nose a few times and stopped crying, so in the end I didn't know why we both went to the top floor.
"If you don't cry, let's..."
"Shut up and go your way."
...I rely on, is this person still Wen Xiaoxiao? She told me to shut up! She is fierce! Hey, come and see! She usually pretends! She is a big liar!

I never thought that I would sit here with Wen Xiaoxiao and "talk".
At first, no one said anything, until she finally couldn't hold it back, and asked softly: "This is where Yu Huai came to study after escaping from rehearsal?"
"How do you know?" I was surprised.
"When I went downstairs to move clothes that day, I asked him. He said he had found a quiet place in the school. Is it this?"
I suddenly asked: "You care about him so much, maybe it's..."
Without the barrier of high-level glasses, Wen Xiaoxiao's eyes were bigger than Longan at this time.
What pretend to be? Now it looks like a little quail. Where did my fierce energy go?
I smirked: "...Should I be jealous of him studying?"
Hmph, I won’t ask if you like him, how?
Wen Xiaoxiao's expression returned to normal: "No, I can't compare to him, I'm a thousand miles away, what's so jealous of."
So we fell silent again. But Wen Xiaoxiao couldn't help it anymore.
"You have a good relationship?" she asked, sniffing, deliberately not looking at me when she spoke.
"Yes." My tone was high.
Wen Xiaoxiao didn't speak anymore, and it took a while before she said to herself: "That's nothing strange, you are at the same table."
"Then you don't have such a good relationship with you at the same table." I showed no mercy.
"Can I compare with Yu Huai at the same table?!"
The fierce Wen Xiaoxiao appeared just now.
Seeing my stunned look, Wen Xiaoxiao blushed quickly, and quickly lowered his head and wiped his glasses with the hem of the T-shirt and put it on.
"I said Wen Xiaoxiao, do you have any special powers, just like Superman, you are an office worker in a suit, and you are Superman if you take off the suit and show the tights? If you don't believe me, take your glasses off and try it?"
Wen Xiaoxiao nodded coyly: "I did, once I took off my glasses and couldn't see things clearly, I didn't have a good temper."
I couldn't help it anymore, and laughed loudly in the empty stairwell, Wen Xiaoxiao's face flushed with suffocation, and after a while he laughed too.
"How nice of you to be at a table with Yu Huai, and you can ask him directly if you have any questions, so feel relieved." Wen Xiaoxiao sat with her legs folded, her chin on her knees, her whole body shrank into a ball.
"Yeah. He is very enthusiastic. Especially... kind." I nodded heavily.
"When I first started school, I couldn't stand the speed of Zhang Feng's lectures. I couldn't keep up with the math class. I'm so thin-skinned, I'm sorry to raise my hand to ask questions..."
"Hurry up and take off your glasses!" I teased her.
"You're so annoying!" She smiled and hit me on the back, and continued, "At that time, Yu Huai raised his hand and said that he didn't understand. It really saved my life. In fact, how could he not understand? He knows everything and is considerate. He helps me a lot every time the class organizes activities..."
"Xu Yanliang also helped you a lot. You can't be so eccentric."
"Shut up!" Wen Xiaoxiao was about to be mad at me.
No.219
She still didn't tell me that she likes Yu Huai.
I did not say.
I think Yu Huai is worthy of everyone's love. I didn't tell her that Yu Huai asked Zhang Feng questions in class because of me, nor did I say that he didn't just talk to me when I asked for help. They already know that his is better, and I want to leave the better Yu Huai to myself.
Or I am so humble, just because I am not sure in my heart, he is so good, is it because he is so kind and generous, or because of me.
I showed her the photos I took. There were several Wen Xiaoxiao pictures, with nice silhouettes, and funny looks with a wide open mouth. Wen Xiaoxiao pointed to the ugly one and asked me if it was intentional. I pretended not to understand what it meant.
"It's nice that you can take pictures." She looked envious.
"You know how to play the piano, better. I'm not good at it. No one can take pictures, but no one can play the piano."
"When I was young, I suffered a lot because I didn't practice piano well. I didn't like to practice piano at all, but a class cost two hundred yuan. I dare not waste money. It is not easy for parents."
"But it's getting better, how good your temperament is now."
"I think it's better to do what you like." Wen Xiaoxiao shook his head.
We just sat there and chatted for a class, until the bell rang. Wen Xiaoxiao began to fear that she would be scolded by Zhang Ping for skipping classes like this. I told her that I was on orders to comfort her.
"You paid so much for this competition, and the final result is very embarrassing. We all understand that we are not up to date. But everyone still keeps your hard work in mind! You see, I am all of Class 5 The peace pigeon sent by your classmates. I borrowed the tissues you blow your nose from Yu Huai."
Wen Xiaoxiao lowered his head and smiled shyly but brilliantly.
I was not prepared to capture this moment.
"What are you doing, I just finished crying, so ugly!"
"It's not ugly at all, really, look!"
The window of the stairwell of the administration building faces west, and the sunset shining in obliquely at this time, dyeing Wen Xiaoxiao's face full of peach blossoms. The girl in the photo didn't know why she smiled so beautifully, so beautifully.
