Chapter 27
Chapter 26
The group slept in a daze until more than five in the morning. When the first ray of sunlight fell on the rooftop, Jiang Huai An opened his eyes in a daze. He pushed Xia Tweet: “Xia Tweet, get up.”
Xia Chiu Chiu opened his eyes and saw the light on the mountain in the distance. Jiang Huai An woke Song Zhe and Wu Yi again. Yang Wei was awakened by their voice, and then saw the sun slowly rising from the mountain, and they were standing in a group. On the rooftop, watching the sun rise, my thoughts were different.
Life always needs a sense of ritual, to use a certain action, a certain time, to tell yourself, the beginning of a certain journey.
If it is said that when Jiang Huai’an’s mother died, it was the beginning of an absurd journey that he declared himself. Then at the moment when the sun rose, Jiang Huai’an was in his heart, waving goodbye to the young man who was so innocent and tried to hurt others with self-injury.
A group of people watched the sun completely reveal, Jiang Huai’an turned his head and asked Xia Chiu: “Does it look good?”
“It looks good.” Xia Chiu nodded, Jiang Huaian put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned around and said: “It’s good-looking, let’s go back.”
After speaking, the group dispersed separately. Xia Chiu went home. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Xia Jiaan kneeling on the ground and his parents sitting on the sofa.
Xia Chujuu was taken aback for a moment. She sent a message to Xia Jiao last night and asked him to cover her. Xia Jiao Jiao made it clear. What’s the situation now?
“You know you’re back?”
Xia’s mother spoke first. Xia Chiu-chuo knew she was wrong, walked in with her head down, stood in the middle of the sofa, and whispered, “I’m sorry, Mom.”
“Where did you go?”
Mother Xia said anxiously: “We looked for you all night, and you didn’t answer the phone. What are you doing?”
“Linlin, don’t be so loud,” Xia Yuanbao said quickly: “Tweet you are timid, you will scare her like this.”
“Is she still courageous now?” He Linlin raised her voice: “She has learned to stay away at night! This is the case. Last time I said she went to school so early, right?”
“He Linlin!” Xia Yuanbao’s voice was angry: “What nonsense are you talking about!”
“Didn’t I mean?”
Mother Xia turned her head to look at Xia Chiu Chiu, picked up the feather duster in the vase and rushed over: “You said it yourself, I’m right!”
“He Linlin, don’t be too much!” Xia Yuanbao rushed forward, took the feather duster from Mama Xia’s hand, flushed and said, “Isn’t it just going out to play? Isn’t this something serious, can you commit it? Chu Chu, go,” Xia Yuanbao pushed Xia Chu Chu upstairs: “Your mother is menopausal, you ignore her.”
“Xia Yuanbao!”
He Linlin was anxious: “You kneel for me!”
“Kneel on your knees!” Xia Yuanbao flicked his tie behind his neck, then knelt down instantly, holding his head up to see He Linlin: “What do you want?”
All the people present were dumbfounded for an instant. He Linlin was a little bit dumbfounded, and lightly kicked Xia Yuanbao: “You let me go, don’t think that I won’t care about it.”
“Tweet,” He Linlin raised her eyes to look at Xia Chiu: “If you don’t get good grades, I can ignore you. It’s okay if you are happy. But you are a girl who doesn’t go home all night, do you know what’s wrong?”
“I know.” Xia Chiu took a deep breath. From a parent’s point of view, she did not do this thing right. She herself knew that she was now the soul of an adult, but the parents did not know that in their eyes, she was just a child, and everything she did now was inappropriate.
So she could only say: “I’m sorry, I know I was wrong.”
“What did you do?”
Seeing her apologize, He Linlin’s face improved. Xia Chiu hesitated and said slowly: “I…I went to a cram school with my classmates, and then went to have a barbecue together. After eating, we made an appointment to watch the sunrise.”
“Hey, it’s nothing big,” Xia Yuanbao quickly turned to He Linlin and said, “Forget it.”
“Who did you go with?”
He Linlin’s face was cold, and Xia Chiu slowly said: “Yang Wei…”
“Who is Yang Wei?”
“A girl in Grade 1 (1)…”
“Just her?”
Xia Chiu-cho didn’t speak. Her mother never agreed with her walking with boys. If she knew that she was staying at night with a group of boys, she didn’t know what she was going to be angry with.
However, she was not good at lying, so she could only remain silent.
The silence made He Linlin even more angry, she said angrily: “To be honest!”
“And… and a few classmates…”
“Xia Chiu,” He Linlin took a deep breath: “I don’t want to be too direct. You are in love, right?”
“No.” Xia Chiu-chuo immediately vetoed: “I’m not in a relationship!”
“Tweet,” Xia Yuanbao sighed: “We are all people here. At your age, it is not a big deal to fall in love. Family members will always support you, you…”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” He Linlin interrupted Xia Yuanbao, turned her head and looked at Xia Chiu Chiu: “Chiu Chiu, you are still young, what kind of age you do, it doesn’t matter if your grades are not good, you can also make friends, but you Don’t be inconsistent with these every day…”
“Mom!” Xia Chiu raised her voice when she heard such adjectives: “My classmate is not a nonchalant person.”
She can accept He Linlin’s words about her, but she can’t accept He Linlin’s words about Jianghuai’an. She raised her head and looked at He Linlin carefully, saying every word: “They are all very good people.”
“Who is not a good person in your heart?” Xia Chiu-chuo has always been well-behaved and rarely contradicts herself like this. He Linlin became angry for a moment and stood up and said: “Your teacher told me about your school affairs. Recently you always skip class. , Who did you learn from? It’s your little boyfriend, right?”
“I do not have a boyfriend!”
Xia Chiu-chuu felt aggrieved: “I am just ordinary friends with them!”
“I don’t know if you have a boyfriend? I have walked more bridges than you have walked! Xia Chiu, I will tell you, can those who fall in love in middle school be any good people? He will fall in love and will take you with you. Skip class, maybe you will smoke, drink, or play games. Such a person is a hooligan. What future can you have with him?”
“Mom,” Xia Chiu-cho clenched his fists, restrained the urge to argue with his mother, and slowly said: “He is not my boyfriend, he is my friend, and I have many friends. Yes, they may not be good enough now, but This is all for a reason. Deep down in their hearts, they want to study hard, they are motivated, they are kind, they will take responsibility, they are brave, you can’t just judge whether a child is good or bad, let alone just go like this Denigrate them and abandon them.”
As he said, Xia Chiu’s eyes firmly met He Linlin: “If they do not do well, they should tell them what is right and what is wrong, and should not directly define them. People and plasticine are the same, what do you think they are? They will be squeezed into what they look like. They are really good people, and I will not learn badly when I am with them.”
“Aren’t you bad now?”
He Linlin became emotional: “You skip class, you fall in love, and you talk back to me, tweeting,” He Linlin red eyes: “Why did you become like this? You said you want to study in the No. 1 Middle School of the city, you call it reading?”
Xia Chiu looked at He Linlin’s red and swollen eyes and did not speak any more.
She suddenly realized that it was difficult for her to change her mother’s stubborn thinking.
To make others feel that Jianghuai An is good, and to make others feel that she has not changed, is tantamount to telling others that I skip class, I fight, I drink, and I am still a good boy.
Speaking this will make everyone laugh, because no one will pay attention to your secretly suppressed things. You want to be motivated, you want to be excellent, and no one will care about what you “want” before you make it.
Even parents.
No one is the roundworm in your heart, even if you are really upright and you are really kind, no one will say that you are such a person until you show the results.
But I can’t stop being wronged, I can’t stop being unwilling.
Obviously I want to work hard. Obviously, I am trying my best to fight against my laziness, decadence, rebellion, and stubbornness, trying to become a better version of myself. Why do you never believe that I was born and deserved. Already a waste?
Standing in the living room, Xia Chiu-tweet suddenly felt the kind of rebelliousness that belongs to Jianghuai An. When everyone misunderstands you and distrusts you, even if they are always as soft as Xia Chiu-tweet, they can’t help thinking—
Well, then I will be such a person.
Don’t work hard, indulge yourself, don’t be responsible, anyway, do it or not, you are not all the same, do you think I am so rubbish?
She squeezed her fist and her body trembled slightly. He Linlin was still talking about her beside her. It was nothing more than how wrong she was doing it. She should break up with Jiang Huai An, how bad she is now…
She took a deep breath, and when He Linlin wanted to speak again, she raised her head: “Mom, stop scolding.”
“Know it’s wrong?”
“No,” Xia Chiu restrained herself, trying to calm down as much as possible: “I don’t come home at night, I skip class, I apologize for these. But they are all very good people, I don’t regret knowing them, let alone playing with them. It’s wrong. I can’t convince you, and I know you won’t believe me, so we might as well make a bet.”
With that, Xia Chiu raised her head and stared at He Linlin: “Give me some time, during the final exam, if I can get into the top ten in the class, you don’t care about me anymore.”
“Can you get it?”
He Linlin sneered: “Just as you play with them every day, do you still want to take the top ten in the class? You can keep your tenth from the bottom.”
“It’s too much,” Xia Yuanbao couldn’t help but said, “He Linlin, take your temper a little bit, these words are too hurtful.”
He Linlin also seemed to know that she was wrong, so she glared at Xia Yuanbao and said nothing.
Xia Chiu-chuu is already mentally prepared and calmly said: “If I can get better in my grades, it will prove that being with them has not made me worse. I hope you will leave me alone. I say these things are not angry, but I hope to have a better way of communicating with you. I say no matter how good they are, you will not believe it, then I will prove it to you.”
Xia Chiu said these words, and her heart gradually calmed down. She was calm and firm, and slowly spoke word by word: “I will use reality to prove it to you. With them, I won’t get worse. “
