Stars warm firefly

Chapter 8
What Xu Heyin didn't expect was that she ran into that boy with natural curly hair again the next day.

In order to cope with the situation that he had to go out to see his classmates at noon and had no time to eat, Xu Heyin bought bread at a convenience store near the community in the morning.When checking out, the cash register at the convenience store was malfunctioning and the card could not be swiped, and the other party just couldn't find change.As she made her way to the checkout counter, she held out a hand beside her and offered the change.Xu Heyin looked up and saw that it was the boy who witnessed him doing "stupid things" downstairs yesterday.

"Ah, thank you!" Xu Heyin grabbed the bread embarrassedly and was about to leave, but was stopped by the boy behind.

"Hey, please wait!" The boy was wearing glasses, but he couldn't hide the inquiry in his eyes, "I'm sorry, I didn't eavesdrop on purpose. I just heard you were asking the clerk about fireflies, and you also like fireflies ?"

Xu Heyin was stunned.

Oops, he must think he's funny.

A dream is a light that illuminates reality, even if it is weak, it has powerful power.

Last night, Xu Heyin quietly observed the sky on the balcony. Not to mention the red fireflies, he didn't even find ordinary fireflies.She thought maybe it was because she had just moved here, and she didn't know the environment here, so she stopped by to inquire about this convenience store that seemed to have been open for a long time today.The clerk is a girl in her 20s who is very talkative and grew up here.However, Xu Heyin was a little disappointed by her answer just now: "Fireflies, there used to be.

At that time, there were not so many buildings here. I caught them when I was a child, but they are rare in recent years. Maybe the environment has changed! "

Xu Heyin nodded, the answer was basically consistent with what he had guessed.In fact, she didn't plan to have to look for it, it was just a whim, and it was right to be a small entertainment to change her mood in the boring review life.So what is the boy asking this for?

Reminiscent of the experience of catching "Xingxing" yesterday evening, Xu Heyin guessed that since "Xingxing"

If it wasn't a real star, then the firefly might also be a reference to another object, but she really couldn't guess it.

"No, I saw a sentence like a riddle, that is, what can be regarded as a red firefly?" Xu Heyin explained.

"So, you were on the balcony yesterday..." The boy smiled awkwardly, "My name is Chi Xiu. I passed by here at the time when I was going home, and I thought you... had something to worry about... You know it's not often reported on the news 'Deeds' of students who did 'stupid things'

? ”

what!Sure enough, he was seen and regarded as someone who would do "stupid things".Xu Heyin was a little dumbfounded.

"So you live nearby?" Xu Heyin then asked excitedly, "Then do you know the answer?"

"Since it's a riddle, it can't be a real firefly. But I heard from a friend that she felt that the red light from the warning light of the tower crane on the construction site looked like a red firefly in the dark night. Of course, my friend I'm more fanciful, so just listen to it." The boy smiled again after speaking, then turned and left.

As Xu Heyin walked, he thought maybe the boy's reminder made sense.But she still didn't understand why someone would write such a riddle-like letter, and what exactly was the other party trying to express?Are you simply trying to amuse yourself?
As soon as school was over at noon, Xu Heyin rushed out of the classroom.She made an appointment with Ying Yuan, Mo Feifei and others to meet in the square in front of the train station.

In the morning, in order to prevent her mother from discovering the gloves, she deliberately stuffed the gloves into her schoolbag. When she arrived at school, she was afraid that the gloves would be squeezed out and folded, so she secretly put them in a handbag that she carried with her, and stayed carefully until the lunch break.Fortunately, the students around him were not very familiar yet, and Zhou Jingyou looked like he was working hard in the sea of ​​problems, so Xu Heyin carried a handbag and mixed in with a group of classmates who went out to eat out of the school gate, and stopped a taxi. The car went straight to the train station.

Although Xu Heyin didn't want Ying Yuan to open her gift in front of Mo Feifei, but thinking that Mo Feifei would accompany him all the way, it seemed impossible for Ying Yuan not to open it.

"Xu Heyin, if you don't come, the train will leave."

Mo Feifei started yelling as soon as he saw her.Although Mo Feifei was always late for class, he was full of energy when traveling.According to Ying Yuan, Mo Feifei was the first person in their five-member team to arrive.There were some classmates who came to see off Mo Feifei and the two boys who were traveling with them. They talked and laughed and said goodbye to each other and hugged each other. When they heard that Xu Heyin had brought a gift, their eyes gathered.

"This is a gift for me. I hope it's not too heavy. You know I'm going to play somewhere before going to school." Ying Yuan took Xu Heyin's handbag and said worriedly.

"Yeah, it should be very heavy. This is Xu Heyin's intention. It must be heavy, haha." The other two boys looked at Ying Yuan and said cheerfully, blinking at each other.

"Well, it's not very expensive..." Xu Heyin was a little embarrassed after being teased, but worried about what would happen if they found out that the gloves were not bought by themselves. Ying Yuan felt a little guilty.

"Oh, let me see. Ha, it's a pair of gloves! Xu Heyin, you are very creative." Mo Feifei didn't know whether to praise or criticize, and shook the gloves.

Xu Heyin just stared at Ying Yuan, as long as he was satisfied, other people's attitudes could be ignored.

Fortunately, Ying Yuan accepted it happily. He said that he had indeed heard from the senior over there that it was cold in winter and his hands were prone to frostbite.

"Besides, it's very light, so I'll accept it." Ying Yuan asked his companion to stuff the gloves into his big travel bag, then waved his phone, "Xu Heyin, let's keep in touch in the future!"

"Yes, I will take pictures as I go and send them to everyone!" Mo Feifei promised, "Everyone wait for my follow-up news."

Watching them enter the station, the person who saw them off felt a little complicated.

"Oh, another one is gone!"

"Yeah, I'll take you to the airport the day after tomorrow!" A classmate who was admitted to a local university sighed to his friend.

As the university registration began one after another, the reception and delivery became more and more frequent.Naturally, everyone should cherish the time spent with family and friends in the last few days.Knowing that Xu Heyin still had classes in the afternoon, they all waved goodbye to her.

Xu Heyin, who got into the car, couldn't help but feel melancholy as he watched the familiar figures walking in different directions at the intersection.The scenery outside the window quickly reversed, which seemed to declare that she was getting farther and farther away from the people and things of the past year.Perhaps, this is youth.After Zhang Yang laughs, everyone must walk quietly on their own path after all.

Unfortunately, there was a traffic accident on the way back and there was a traffic jam.Xu Heyin troubled the driver for a long time to come back, but he still missed a class.

As soon as Xu Heyin turned into the school, he saw Zhou Jingyou trotting along the campus corridor in a panic.Now it was the recess time, and based on Xu Heyin's understanding of Zhou Jingyou, this should be the time for her to read and preview. Normally, she would not leave the classroom.

"Zhou Jingyou?" Xu Heyin stopped the anxious man, "What are you doing?"

"I lost my student access card." Zhou Jingyou was so anxious that he was about to cry, "It was still there at noon, but now it's gone. I just went to the library to look for it, but I couldn't find it!"

Student access cards are used almost every day.Although you can go to the student office to report the loss and make up for it, it also takes time.During this period, there is no access card, which is really inconvenient.

"Don't worry, think about it carefully. Since it was lost at noon, was it before or after eating?" Xu Heyin reminded her while comforting her.

"It should have been lost after eating." Zhou Jingyou thought for a while, "By the way, maybe it wasn't in the library, but in the restaurant!"

Check the time, there are 7 minutes left in the break.Xu Heyin dragged Zhou Jingyou into the restaurant.At this time, the restaurant is generally very quiet.Sure enough, they opened the door, and the place that was crowded at noon was empty at the moment.

"Why is there no one there!"

Xu Heyin originally planned to find someone to ask if anyone picked it up before looking for it, but now he doesn't know who to ask.

Hey, there seems to be a half-squatting figure shaking between the tables and chairs.Xu Shi heard the movement, and he straightened up, still holding the rag in his hand.Xu Heyin saw that it was the young man who was called Xiaofang by the middle-aged person in charge that day, who seemed to be almost the same age as the boys in the class.

"Hello." Xiao Fang's eyes lit up, and he also recognized them, and walked straight over to ask, "Is there anything wrong?"

"It's like this. My classmate lost his student access card. Maybe he left it here. I want to look for it." Xu Heyin took out the student access card from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Fang, "It's like this ,did you see?"

"I'm in charge of cleaning the back kitchen today. I'm not responsible for the hygiene here, but let me ask other people for you!" Xiao Fang returned the card to Xu Heyin and said, "Aren't you still going to class? I'll look for it first. Look, you can ask after class."

One sentence reminded Xu Heyin.She glanced at her phone, and there were 2 minutes before class.

"By the way, what's your name?" Xiao Fang said with a shy smile to Zhou Jingyou, "There are students who lose their cards every day, so you have to match the name on the student card! Prevent being claimed by others! "

"My name is Zhou Jingyou. Oh, my card is wrapped in a transparent plastic sleeve with a red string tied to it." Zhou Jingyou thought for a while and asked again, "What about you?"

"Me, my name is Fang Jiwan, and the masters call me Xiaofang." Fang Jiwan showed two dimples shyly, "I remember, it's easy to find if there is a red rope."

"Then, Fang Jiwan, thank you, I'll come back after class."

When the class bell rang, Xu Heyin and Zhou Jingyou trotted all the way back to the teaching building, and when they entered the classroom panting and messy, they were still late.This was the first time Zhou Jingyou was late, and she walked into the classroom blushing, seeming more embarrassed than Xu Heyin who missed a class.

Not long after Xu Heyin sat down, the phone screen suddenly lit up.After opening it, Mo Feifei actually sent her a photo.In the photo, you should be leaning far away from the carriage, looking out the window sideways.Outside the window is a golden field, and Mo Feifei exaggeratedly added a narration: Nature, here I come.

Xu Heyin sighed, it seemed that everything was going well for Ying Yuan and the others, and the train had already left the city.She closed the phone and couldn't help but look sideways out of the window.The afternoon sun was dazzling and bright. Although it was early September, there was no air conditioner in the classroom, and the wind from the ceiling fan was still mixed with uncomfortable heat.An unknown black insect slowly crawled in along the gap by the window, as if sensing Xu Heyin's gaze, the insect shrank back and quickly disappeared into the thick branches of the ivy by the window frame.

Compared with the sleepiness and exhaustion on the faces of other students in the classroom, Xu Heyin was full of anxiety and uneasiness.

Teacher "Dangdang" tapped the blackboard heavily with an eraser, reminding those students who were distracted to concentrate quickly.

"Everyone should cherish the opportunity to start over! You must know that not everything has the opportunity to start over!"

A word from the teacher awakened many drowsy students in an instant, and from time to time there were the sounds of the chairs creaking when the students adjusted their sitting postures to drive away the sleepy bugs.

Xu Heyin also quickly looked away and looked directly at the blackboard.Zhou Jingyou, who was sitting in front of her, was leaning over the desk and taking notes meticulously as always. The flustered expression on the lost student card just now had been replaced by concentration.

Yes, you should devote yourself to studying like Zhou Jingyou, and you must not be influenced by Mo Feifei anymore.

She patted her face lightly, trying to pull herself together.While laying out the notebook, she also said something in her heart: next year's exam, I'm here.

In the evening, Xu Heyin met Aunt Zhou at the door of the classroom.

"Heyin, have you seen our Youyou?" Aunt Zhou took her arm, "Run away after class, do you know where she went?"

Xu Heyin guessed that Zhou Jingyou must have gone to the restaurant to find Fang Jiwan late.Subconsciously, she thought that she didn't want her mother to know that she had lost her student access card, so Xu Heyin shook her head lightly and said nothing.

"My mobile phone is almost out of battery. You can call Youyou and tell her that I'm waiting here, and tell her to come back to me quickly!" Aunt Zhou frowned and ordered.

Xu Heyin knew Aunt Zhou's uncompromising character.

In the early years, after her husband passed away, in order to let her daughter follow her surname, she devoted all her energy to her daughter.Xu Heyin still remembers the scene when Zhou Jingyou's father just passed away.Mother took her to deliver food to Aunt Zhou, but Aunt Zhou kicked her out.She shouted loudly: "You don't need to sympathize with me, I still have Youyou without a husband, and I will make them regret whoever looks down on our mother and daughter in the future! Ai Berry, just wait, I will live a better life than you in the future."

Aunt Zhou did what she said.In just four or five years, she developed her own trading company with the savings the couple had saved from running a small business.And Zhou Jingyou was admitted to a key high school with high scores through his own efforts.So when Zhou Jingyou took the university entrance examination, Aunt Zhou naturally put forward high demands.

In fact, whether she volunteered for the college entrance examination last year or participated in the re-study this year, Aunt Zhou made the decision for her daughter. She must choose the best major in the best university.

Just when Xu Heyin took out his mobile phone to make a call, Zhou Jingyou came back.

"Mom, you're here." Zhou Jingyou's voice was panting.

Seeing the student card on her neck, Xu Heyin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
