Stars warm firefly

Chapter 21: An Escape (1)
"Xu Heyin, do you see if this type of question was taught by the math teacher?" Early the next morning, Cheng Xin, who had already learned how to weave knots, put a test paper from last week in front of Xu Heyin.

"Well, yes." Xu Heyin nodded.

Cheng Xin was very satisfied, and said to Gu Yi behind him: "Look, I'm right, what the teacher said, it's in the notes, and you made mistakes in the exam! It's enough to prove that you didn't listen carefully in class."

"I don't fully understand. Besides, who never forgets!" Gu Yi approached with a playful smile, "Tell me quickly, what is the answer!"

"I don't know." Cheng Xin was a little annoyed, "Every time I waste my time, I don't care this time."

"Don't be so heartless, anyway, we are also test friends in the same trench!" Gu Yi begged for a long time but saw no results, so he turned to Xu Heyin who was in a daze for help, "Xu Heyin, what is the correct answer!"

Only after experiencing it do we know that escaping is not the solution; only after losing it do we know what we really need.Fortunately, everything is still in time.

"I don't know either. I also did this question wrong." Xu Heyin pointed out the paper to him, but it elicited completely different reactions from the two of them.

Cheng Xin let out a "Huh", as if he was surprised by the fact that Xu Heyin was clearly aware of the fact that the teacher had told him about this question but he did it wrong, but Gu Yi seemed to be grasping at straws, "It seems that I didn't do it alone. Wrong!"

Xu Heyin didn't explain anything.

She pressed her forehead against the glass, trying to let the coolness of the glass cool down her hot and restless heart.She felt that her head became very heavy, and she must need a fulcrum to ease her fatigue.

The class bell rang, and Xu Heyin had to adjust his sitting posture, and his eyes fell on the blackboard in front of him again.The teacher's writing on the blackboard is always fast, and the notes seem to never be finished. All the knowledge points are like messy symbols floating past her eyes, which makes her have a splitting headache.

After returning from the hospital last night, neither she nor her mother slept well. Although she was sad, she couldn't help worrying about Ah Zhen and her baby.Although they got the news in the morning that Ah Zhen's child was saved, they didn't feel relieved, but became more silent.Because they all know that Dad will not come back again.

Sure enough, not everything has a chance to start all over again.

So is it possible for me to come back?Xu Heyin involuntarily stared at the paper under the notebook, the red annotations on it were particularly glaring.

It has been more than two months since the school started, and she still makes some low-level mistakes in the quiz.She couldn't remember the test points repeatedly emphasized by the teacher.If it continues like this, maybe she will still fail the exam. Wouldn't it be meaningless for my mother to be angry because of her?

Xu Heyin suddenly felt a sense of suffocation surrounding her, and she felt that she was useless.

Suddenly, she missed Ying Yuan and her former classmates very much.So she took out her mobile phone and secretly sent a text message to Ying Yuan: "What are you doing? Is your trip going well?"

However, until after school at noon, she still did not receive a reply from Ying Yuan.

Standing at the door of the overcrowded restaurant, Xu Heyin suddenly got tired of everything in front of him and really wanted to leave here for a walk.

I was the one who killed my mother's hope, and I was the one who kept my father from starting a new life after waiting for two years.

She took out the small mirror she was carrying from her schoolbag and stared at the familiar face inside. She suddenly hated herself very much. She never wanted to see herself again, nor did she want to hear her parents complaining to each other because of her.She desperately wanted to escape, to the place where she could forget everything, to the place where she could have gone this year, to the place where there were friends waiting for her.

Once an idea sprouts, it is out of control.

Xu Heyin quickly packed his schoolbag and left the school.He didn't notice that Zhou Jingyou kept calling her from behind.After returning to the rented house, she changed her clothes, left a note for her mother that said "I'm going to my classmate, don't look for it", put on her schoolbag and went straight to the train station.

She suddenly wanted to go to a distant university to take a look.

The moment the train left the station, Xu Heyin received a text message from Mo Feifei: "What's wrong with you? Zhou Jingyou said that he saw you leaving the school in a hurry, did something happen?"

"It's nothing, I just want to go out for a walk suddenly. By the way, if my mother asks, you can just say that I went to sketch with you, that's it!"

Before Mo Feifei could say anything else, she hung up the phone.

Looking at the rapidly receding buildings outside the car window, Xu Heyin's mood suddenly calmed down.

In fact, Ying Yuan's university was not Xu Heyin's first choice.

I remember that when they were taking care of their injured tablemate, the three of them discussed their future plans.

"Which school do you want to go to in the future?" The deskmate looked yearning, "I want to go to the University of Science and Technology, preferably the Department of Biology, but the score may be a bit low...Xu Heyin, how about you?"

"I haven't figured it out yet." Xu Heyin bit his lip and said.The grades at the same table are much better than her own, so her choices are naturally wider than her own.

"Xu Heyin, our grades are similar, we can try to apply to the same university!"

Xu Heyin knew that Ying Yuan had always wanted to be admitted to a university of engineering in other provinces.After what he said, she who was at a loss for the future seemed to suddenly see the direction of her efforts.Well, since you are at the same level as him, let's go to the same university with him!
Although she didn't promise anything on the surface, she was determined not to let Ying Yuan down on herself.

She really worked hard, but who would have thought that the sudden physical condition on the day of the exam would cause her to perform abnormally!In fact, speaking of it, she still blames her mother a bit.It was she who prevented herself from taking the medicine that had been circulating among girls for a long time and was said to delay menstruation.Otherwise, the most uncomfortable physical test every month will be postponed, and then you can take the exam smoothly, and you can fulfill your wish to enter the university with your classmates.

Unexpectedly, this reason supported her a year later and became the direction of her efforts again.

As the train got faster and faster, the places it passed gradually became less populated, and there began to be a vast wilderness outside the train window.

Shouldn't I tell Ying Yuan that I went to find him by myself?Xu Heyin thought for a while, and then put his hand into his pocket, but the next second he was shocked, his phone was gone!She tried hard to think back, and finally remembered that she left the phone on the coffee table at home after writing the note and forgot to bring it.

Forget it, let's treat it as a surprise for Ying Yuan!

Xu Heyin took out a copy of the university's admissions brochure last year from his schoolbag, and his gaze stayed on the beautiful photo on it for a long time.

"Xu Heyin, the environment of the school is even more beautiful than what is described in the brochure. There are basketball courts, soccer fields and even tennis courts!"

This was what Ying Yuan told Xu Heyin not long after school started.She was yearning for it back then, but who would have thought that now she would arrive in such a way as to escape!
After a night of turbulence, we arrived at our destination early the next morning.After Xu Heyin got off the train, he boarded a special bus leading to the University of Technology according to the information he had learned from Bu Zidu.

The car was speeding on the unfamiliar street, but it seemed that it couldn't carry Xu Heyin's restless heart.

It's Saturday morning, and the college campus doesn't have the usual high-school tension.At the school gate, many students in casual clothes passed her by.

Although the surrounding breakfast stalls have not been withdrawn yet, her eagerness to see Ying Yuan far outweighs her desire for food.

In late autumn, the campus of the University of Technology is golden, and the air is filled with the fragrance of plants.

Wearing jeans, a brown casual jacket, and carrying a schoolbag, Xu Heyin walked on the campus, looking like an ordinary college student.

Xu Heyin is very clear about which department and major Ying Yuan is in, but he is not sure which teaching building and which classroom he is teaching in.Xu Heyin was stunned by the roadside sign. Five or six arrows in different directions pointed to teaching buildings with different numbers.Teaching one, teaching two, teaching three... It turns out that the teaching buildings are also divided into such fine details!

Without any clue, Xu Heyin simply wandered downstairs in the boys' dormitory.The boys passing by in twos and threes occasionally cast a glance at her, Xu Heyin was slightly embarrassed.

Xu Heyin remembered that Ying Yuan once complained to himself that the dormitory teacher was very powerful, and that he often raided the male dormitory for health inspections, and would report criticism to all students who came back late.Ying Yuan was also caught.So Xu Heyin didn't dare to get too close to the door of the dormitory, for fear of being criticized by the dormitory teacher if he found out.Although it is Saturday, many students have already woken up.Many students came out of the dormitory one after another. Some of them went to have breakfast, some went out to do errands, and some went to self-study with a few books.

"Hey, where's fifth?" A tall boy who came back from a morning jog greeted another boy with glasses.

"Still sleeping!" The man with glasses smiled, "He's having a lot of fun playing online games!"

So, the two nodded to each other and went to the restaurant for breakfast together.

At this time, Xu Heyin suddenly remembered that he didn't know Ying Yuan's arrangement today.Thinking of all kinds of situations, she couldn't help hesitating.The university campus is so big, you may not be able to meet him if you only guard the dormitory building!But where to find it?

Just as Xu Heyin was thinking secretly, a boy patted her on the shoulder.

"Classmate, please give way, I want to use the car." It turned out that Xu Heyin had unknowingly rested on the back seat of the bicycle behind him.Now that the owner of the car came, Xu Heyin had no choice but to stand up.

"Well, what grade are you in?" Xu Heyin mustered up his courage, but the words he asked sounded strange.

"Huh?" The boy looked at Xu Heyin blankly.

"Excuse me, do you know Ying Yuan, a first-year civil engineering student?" Xu Heyin bit his lip, and finally asked.

"Ying Yuan?" The boy shook his head, but seeing Xu Heyin's serious dark circles and bloodshot eyes, he still enthusiastically explained, "I don't know, I'm a junior. But, I can help you find someone to ask." .”

The boy turned his head and searched for a while among the crowd in twos and threes, and immediately waved to another boy: "Hey, Xiao Hei, is there a Ying Yuan among your freshmen? Someone is looking for him."

"Ying Yuan?" Xiao Hei thought for a while, "Oh, Ying Yuan, he's not from our dormitory, but we met each other during club activities."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you. I'm leaving." The junior boy pushed his bicycle away.

Xiao Hei smiled at Xu Heyin, and made a phone call: "Xiao Wu, are you still dreaming? Hey, something good happened. There's a crush looking for you by name, come down quickly!"

"Xiao Hei, what are you talking about?" A window on the third floor opened, and a chicken coop's head was exposed, shouting.

Xiao Hei pointed at Xu Heyin, his head froze for a moment, and he waved his hand to show he understood.

"Okay! Xiao Wu will come down soon." After finishing speaking, Xiao Hei waved his tennis racket at Xu Heyin, blinked and smiled, and then walked away.

Xu Heyin stood in front of the building and waited blankly, but did not see Ying Yuan.Besides, Ying Yuan and Xiao Wu are not the same person, are they?She also didn't understand why Xiao Hei called Xiao Wu down.

Soon, a boy with a chicken coop head and slippers appeared downstairs.Xu Heyin rushed over and asked, "Where's Ying Yuan?"

"Ying Yuan! Didn't he go to the restaurant early?"

"How to get to the restaurant?"

Xiao Wu seemed to have not woken up yet and yawned and said, "I guess it's time to finish breakfast now. He may have gone to the infirmary again. I heard from him yesterday that it's time to change the medicine today."

"What did you say? Why do you need to change the dressing? He's injured?" Xu Heyin's voice suddenly became hoarse when he heard the words "change the dressing."Could it be that Ying Yuan not only bumped into others, but also hurt himself?

"Their basketball team has an event today, and the promotional posters are posted everywhere, didn't you see it?" Xiao Wu finally regained consciousness, "Hey, are you from Fan Yingyuan or from Fan Yingyuan's team? Since you're looking for him, what do you want me to do?"

Xu Heyin subconsciously glanced at the bulletin board in front of the dormitory building. Sure enough, there was a simple poster posted on the top, which clearly marked the time and place of the basketball game.

Without time to think about it, Xu Heyin hurriedly ran towards the basketball court.After asking all the way, when I finally found the place, there were already many students standing at the entrance and on both sides of the outside.When she was hesitating whether to go in like this, she saw two people walking from the other side of the court.

The boy is Ying Yuan.

"Remember, don't let your hands touch the water. The doctor said that you can change the medicine again." Xu Heyin hid behind a big tree and eavesdropped on their conversation.

"I see, you're getting more and more verbose!" The girl's finger was wrapped in gauze, and although she was complaining, she had a happy expression on her face.Xu Heyin breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that the injured person was not Ying Yuan.

"After the game, let's go eat together! The doctor said that we should eat something light, which will help the wound heal." Ying Yuan suggested, "Go to Liji Congee Shop and order some side dishes, okay?"

"If you want me to say yes, there is a condition." The girl raised a thermos cup in her hand, "You have to drink it first."

"Ah, no, it's cold medicine again! My cold is gone."

"It's just two days, so don't be careless. You're sweating all over after playing, and you're the easiest to catch a cold!" The girl raised the thermos to Ying Yuan, "If you don't take medicine, I won't drink porridge."

"Oh, I'm joking, of course I drank."

"Hey, Ying Yuan, good medicine tastes bitter and is good for the disease!" Other students who came in and out of the basketball court couldn't help joking when they saw them, "It's actually very sweet!"

"Go, go, don't make trouble." Ying Yuan finished drinking the cold medicine, the girl put away the thermos, and the two walked into the basketball court together.

Their words aroused Xu Heyin's curiosity.Immediately, she also squeezed into a bunch of students and watched from outside the fence.

After a while, the game started. The players of the two teams dribbled the ball skillfully and attacked aggressively, which caused a lot of cheers from the surrounding students.

"Look at how active No. [-] is running, the ball was passed really well just now." The classmate beside Xu Heyin said.

Number five is Ying Yuan.

"What's the matter with you, we suffered a lot last week because of your ineffective marking of No. [-], and you still made the same mistake today?" The performance of teammates was not satisfactory.

After a body collision, the opponent fouled, Ying Yuan hit a free throw, and the surrounding students applauded.The opponent saw that the situation was unfavorable and asked for a timeout.

After the game was suspended, the girls who had come with Ying Yuan before handed towels to Ying Yuan and his teammates while giving them water, very busy.

"Be careful with your hands." Ying Yuan wiped off his sweat with a towel, not forgetting to tell the busy girls.

"Hey, this girl seems to be very familiar with No. [-], she always appears on the basketball team! Looks like she's also a freshman? Which department?"

"It seems to be from the Department of Information Management. I heard that they met in a courage test!"

Just as he was talking, the game on the field started again.

Wearing dark green sportswear, Ying Yuan dodged left and right with the ball. After passing the ball, he saw his teammates make a shot and gave everyone a high-five to celebrate, showing a free and easy temperament that was completely different from his high school days.

Suddenly, Xu Heyin felt that all this was extremely boring.She quietly retreated from the crowd of onlookers, and slowly walked around to the big artificial lake behind the basketball court.She found a wooden chair and sat down.Recalling the scene just now, her clearest feeling is that Ying Yuan has already had a brand new life in college.

He has a new friend, a new goal in life, and even his golf skills have improved by leaps and bounds. All of these show that he is completely different from the Ying Yuan that Xu Heyin used to know.

The ripples on the lake surface blown by the wind were like wrinkles on a human face caused by years of ravages, Xu Heyin couldn't help wrapping his coat tightly.The climate here is gloomy and cold, which is really not suitable for her body that is afraid of cold.

In fact, she didn't really understand this university that she had been targeting since last year.

Xu Heyin leaned his head on the back of the chair.She was so tired after a bumpy ride last night.Only now did she feel that coming here was an impulsive and ridiculous act.

Running all the way here by myself will only increase Ying Yuan's troubles, not to mention that Ying Yuan can't solve her own troubles.

Suddenly, Xu Heyin began to miss her mother very much.She must have been very anxious to see that she was not at home.He didn't bring his mobile phone with him, although he ran out just to avoid everything at home, but when he really couldn't contact his home, Xu Heyin became uneasy.

"Did you lose something? Hey, why are you always looking for something every time I meet you?"

Xu Heyin, who just sat up and looked down for snacks in his schoolbag, unexpectedly heard a familiar voice coming from beside his ears.

She raised her head abruptly, seeing the slightly red eyes of the dusty man in front of her.

"Buzidu, why are you here?"

It turned out that when Xu Heyin came to the train station in a hurry that day, Bu Zidu happened to pick up a friend who had returned from a trip.

When he passed by Xu Heyin, he called her several times but there was no response, so he couldn't help feeling a little worried.According to Xu Heyin's situation, she should have been at school at that time, why did she appear at the train station?

However, when Bu Zidu chased after him again, she had disappeared.Unexpectedly, when he went to work in the fitness club later that day, he received a call from Mo Feifei, and only then did he know that Xu Heyin missed class in the afternoon, left a small note and ran out of the house.Her mother is calling her classmates to inquire one by one according to the address book in the mobile phone she left at home.

Although Mo Feifei lied to her mother according to the text message Xu Heyin sent to her in advance, she was worried, fearing that something might happen to Xu Heyin on the road, so she notified Bu Zidu, which happened to be the same as when Bu Zidu ran into Xu Heyin at the train station match.

"I know where she went!" Bu Zidu and Mo Feifei said the answer almost in unison.

Bu Zidu remembered that Xu Heyin had asked him about the means of transportation to the University of Technology, and it was he who introduced to Xu Heyin that it was the most convenient way to take the train and then transfer to a special bus.And Mo Feifei also remembered that after Xu Heyin found out about her father, she once asked her if Ying Yuan had introduced the university dormitory life, and whether she felt happy or sad about leaving home.

"Ah, just go as she says! Mo Feifei, what happened to Xu Heyin?"

I am a person who just walks away, but I can't accept Xu Heyin's same approach.
