the stars fell on his head

Chapter 12 "The Outsider"

When the lunch bell rang, everyone rushed forward, and the road to the cafeteria was crowded with people, just like soldiers attacking a city in ancient times, shoulder to shoulder.

Shi Zhijiu didn't rush, and waited until everyone had left before she opened Xi Xiu's table. The sandwiches and boiled eggs had long since disappeared, and even the note she had left for him had disappeared.

Unexpectedly happy, Shi Zhijiu frowned, she didn't leave her seat until the second class in the morning, and he didn't open the drawer when he went out, she vaguely felt something was wrong.

The more I thought about it, the more irritable I became, so I didn't even eat lunch.

Ding, with a crisp sound of a message reminder, Shi Zhijiu unlocked the fingerprint lock.

Gu Xi: This Saturday night there is a Mayday concert in the gymnasium. Last time, Chen and I grabbed ten tickets!Surprise not surprise! !

Shi Zhijiu: Surprise! ! !?The school makes up classes this Saturday, those who don’t know think you are two scalpers...

Gu Xi: ...So you want to coax?
She was a little bit cowardly, after all, she made up the mathematics of Miejue Shitai on Saturday night, and she was extremely unwilling to mess with her, but... the last bit of stubbornness in her bones did not allow her to be cowardly.

Shi Zhijiu hypnotized herself that the college entrance examination is held every year, and Mayday is just this time, not to mention that the college entrance examination is more than a hundred days away, and no teacher can stop her.

Shi Zhijiu: Don't hesitate.

Gu Xi: See you on the gym playground at 2 o'clock.

Even if the long-awaited concert didn't divert her thoughts, she definitely wouldn't believe that Xi Xiu ate the breakfast she made, didn't he already recognize her handwriting?How could someone who couldn't even deal with Xu Anran fall into her pocket so quickly.

After eating, Xi Xiu and his group went to play a few games under the shade of the trees by the court, and then slowly wandered back to the classroom.There is no trace of tension in learning from them, and they seem to be sitting firmly in the top three of science without studying. For such students, the teacher has no deterrent effect on them.

Shi Zhijiu slowly felt the hunger, but when he thought that there were still a large number of people crowded in the cafeteria, he didn't want to move anymore, so he sat back awkwardly, leaving the heavy responsibility of buying food to Chen Sizuo.

Every meal time, the school radio station will start to play songs and broadcast news...

Shi Zhijiu was too lazy to wear earphones.

Xi Xiu, who came back from playing the game, saw such a picture when he came from a distance. The girl was wearing a pink fishtail dress, lying lazily on the table humming, and from time to time, she would beat the rhythm on the table with her hands. A head of slightly curly long hair is scattered behind the back.This was the first time Xi Xiu had noticed her. Her white and tender skin was slightly red in the slightly hot air, and her long eyelashes fluttered like butterfly wings.

Xi Xiu thinks that she is really not a good girl, and there are not many girls in school who can't keep up with girls who wear school uniforms and have perms.

I don't know if Shi Zhijiu noticed someone outside the window, and smiled brightly in his direction, the soft smile startled many boys who were also outside the window.

Xi Xiu is different from those boys, he doesn't see surprises and waves in his eyes.

As usual, he returned to his seat to play with his mobile phone with a poker face. Shi Zhijiu turned to look at him, reading a novel?

Turning around, she found that he was reading Camus's "The Outsider". She specially browsed the novel on Baidu. opposite situation.

Shi Zhijiu continued to look down...

"Most people have different appearances, and what they do is often not what they really desire in their hearts. They all have a sense of community, fear of being alienated and excluded, and fear of being alone." However, the protagonist Meursault intentionally or unintentionally wants Jump out of the established pattern of this world, keep a distance from the common people, completely follow the inner nature, and be an outsider who looks on coldly and does his own way."

"Today, my mother died. Maybe it was yesterday, I don't know." This is the shocking opening of the novel.

Shi Zhijiu was distracted, his whole body was cold, he didn't know if it was because the air conditioner was turned on too low or what...

The more he focused on this book, the more uncomfortable Shi Zhijiu became, as if someone had choked his throat, unable to breathe.

The word "Mom" has not appeared in Shi Zhijiu's life for a long time, so long that she has already gotten used to going to school alone, washing and cooking alone.She has always been reluctant to recall, even though that period of time was extremely beautiful and happy.

The line of words on the screen is dazzling and abrupt.

She didn't know what to do, even though she knew early on that he was a person who could see everything clearly, and understood his more mature thoughts.Maybe she was just afraid that one day he would become like the protagonist of the novel.

No matter how sour and bitter the lemons are, Shi Zhijiu can always make them into sweet lemon juice, just like she likes Xi Xiu and hopes that he will become a warm person.

Luo Yang behind him noticed that something was wrong with her, and wanted to call her softly.
