Dust sleeps in light years

Chapter 7

[one]
I grew up with low self-esteem and anxiety, and few people cared about me, let alone taught me how to behave in the world.

When I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, I transferred to a new class. Ban Hua was an unattractive girl. I really wanted to know the secret of her popularity, so I tried my best to please her, and finally became inseparable best friends with her.

In a class near the end of the term, the Chinese teacher praised the students who wrote beautifully.I suddenly discovered that the girl had practiced hard-tipped calligraphy for seven years, and I had known her for four months, and she had subtly written good characters that were exactly the same as hers, even more beautiful.

From that day on, I began to understand - what a miracle a heart that desperately desires to be recognized can create.Unknowingly changing myself with the people I meet, this is not artificial, but the instinct I live by.

[two]
I know you keep it in your heart. Although the old love has no roots, it is still like a forge spitting out flames.

A bit of the pride of the sufferer lurks in your breast.I forgive you.Because I love you, I tolerate your flaws.

"What a mess! Confessions? Threats? I didn't specify who it was for." Before the flowers had completely withered earlier, fresh white camellia appeared on Qiuhe's desk again without anyone noticing it. There was also an inexplicable letter that came.Guo Shujie looked over Qiu He's shoulder to see the last line, and couldn't help shivering.

"'I Forgive You' was all verses from Baudelaire's "Love Song of Sorrow" before." Xue Tao's knowledge and memory surprised Qiu He, "and 100% is for Qiu He, this pair It's just too 'normal' for her."

"Maybe I have a genome and I often wave to that kind of neurotic person. I meet several of them every semester. But this is the first time I receive a paper letter. It used to be text messages or calls." Qiu He really got used to it , inadvertently stuffed the letter back into the envelope, got up and went to the water dispenser to pick up some hot water to scald apples, and distributed them to Xue Tao and Guo Shujie.At this time, Umi hadn't gotten up as usual.

"But how do they know your number?" "Some are courier or food delivery staff, and the contact number is marked on the receipt; I learned about it from peeking at the teacher's information in class; some of them were asking people... In short, it is impossible to protect privacy." Xue Tao "crunched" biting the crunchy fruit, a little slurred, "I once accompanied her to a photocopying shop to make business cards, and I don't know which one of several employees—I saw her just once—sent her harassing text messages for two months, as disgusting as the content was. Guo Shujie was carefully peeling the fruit with a fruit knife: "Speaking of which, the landline in the dormitory also often receives calls from obscene men who say some weird obscene words. I have received several times, and they are all calling Xue Tao by name." "

"I didn't tell any suspicious people my phone number casually." "Girls' dormitories are all with consecutive numbers. As long as you know one, you can easily figure out the number of any one." Qiu He deduced.

"It's probably the guys from your mathematics department who did it." When joking, he inadvertently and mistakenly classified Qiu He into the mathematics department. Perhaps it was because in Xue Tao's eyes, Qiu He's science students' characteristics were too obvious, and his thinking had not been reversed.

"How do Qiu and you usually deal with it?" "Ignore it. Most of them will give up after a period of tossing around. When I encounter some who go too far, I will ask male friends to help drive them away." "Then she will I will have strange feelings of gratitude and admiration for male friends, and soon they will become boyfriends. That’s how Qiu and those bad boyfriends came to be.” Xue Tao is not afraid of Qiu He’s slightly unhappy face, “Don’t stare at me , I’m not talking nonsense. If even a hundred plugs are short-circuited, it’s a problem with the socket. In the final analysis, it’s because you are too sloppy.”

"I don't find it sloppy."

"You didn't really fall in love with them, but just because you thought the other person was a good person, you started dating in a daze. Is this a mess from beginning to end? Not only is it troublesome for others, but also for yourself." For some reason, it suddenly turned to the topic of love.

"But when we started dating, I didn't know that it would be the result of such troubles. I didn't find a boyfriend to break up my relationship."

Xue Tao was slightly stunned, speechless for a while.Guo Shujie was disappointed because she couldn't follow their conversation. At the same time, she was even more surprised that although Xue Tao and Qiu He always seemed lukewarm and their words were full of resentment, they seemed to be true friends. Maybe the parties themselves didn't realize it.

What Guo Shujie didn't realize was that since Qiu He moved into the dormitory, the time she spends with her boyfriend has suddenly halved, not because of a weak relationship, but because her curiosity about Qiu He has surpassed both reason and emotion.

Qiuhe's life circle is the most flamboyant and arrogant small group in the school. In other words, most of her closest friends are not interested in academics.But Qiu He is an exception. The most widely copied authoritative notes of professional courses are from Qiu He. The favorite student of professional course teachers is Qiu He, and the highest score of professional courses is always Qiu He.But Guo Shujie went to the Academic Affairs Office to check the rankings in order to apply for a scholarship, and Qiu He was strangely only in the upper middle.Qiuhe is "omnipotent" at school, mainly because he is good at teaching magnetism.No matter how sinister the intrigue of Ren student cadres is, it still depends on the teacher's face to act.It's just that the teachers can achieve a superficial balance most of the time, and don't always show their faces to the students. Only personal forces like Xue Tao and Qian Xiaoyi can play a role.The strange thing is that Qiu He is not favored by a certain school but by all the teachers. What is even more strange is that no matter how fierce the title and position war among teachers is, it will never affect Qiu He.

Qiuhe has many friends, and Guo Shujie thinks some of them are at most followers, such as those few Korean girls.Qiuhe doesn’t need to pack and transport her luggage by herself; she can step into the classroom on time and go straight to the seat she has occupied; she pre-orders a dress from a shopping mall and doesn’t have to pick it up herself after it arrives… Guo Shujie can’t figure out why these people are willing to do it for her Taking care of chores?
Qiuhe is easily jealous, and the anonymous abuse of her in the school BBS irrigation area is not difficult to understand.But Guo Shujie found that in reality, few people would openly stand against her.Xue Tao said: "That's because any rational person knows that going against her is of the same nature as going against the renminbi."

Guo Shujie didn't quite understand it, she just judged it generally as "Xue Tao meant that Qiu He is great", and didn't pay attention to the premise of "rationality".

When both Guo Shujie and Xue Tao went out to attend classes, the dormitory became quiet.Qiu He put the new flowers into the hanging basket, and then took out the letter again.

I always feel that this time is different.It's not just a small difference between the paper version and the electronic version.

The letter paper is 16K format, very light light blue, it should be 80g lined paper, not as tough as special art letter paper.There are 19 equal-width horizontal stripes embossed, and glue marks are faintly visible on the top, like paper torn from some kind of vertically flipped book, such as a sign-in book, but the grade is definitely much better than ordinary sign-in books.

Then there is the letter body, the writing is very square, neat and clean, there is a misspelled word before "forgive you", most people encounter this kind of situation or draw a slash or paint it into a blob, but he completely painted it into a The black square, he didn't want people to see what he wrote wrongly and wanted to keep it neat, so Qiu He tended to guess that the person who wrote this letter was cautious and serious, but the paradox is that this type of person would not be so foolish.

The contradiction made her a little uneasy. She glanced at these four lines over and over again, and finally fell into a situation inexplicably as if she was being attacked or cursed. Among the two sentences played by the letterer herself, the more noteworthy word is " tolerance" and "deficiency".While Qiu He suddenly realized the specialness of this letter, his heart sank half a point.In the past, those people just wanted to win their favor, at least to attract their attention, but this time, this person was clearly hostile, and his so-called "love" did not have any admiration.

No wonder Guo Shujie's first reaction was that it was threatening.What's weird is the word "love", which is the only word in traditional characters throughout the text, which looks very awkward.Qiuhe noticed the difference between the words "I" and "you" every time. The first time there was tremor, but the last time it was written relatively smoothly. In most cases, the tremor is due to people adopting their own Unaccustomed writing methods cause writing obstacles and cause strokes to shake. The word "love" looks awkward not because it is in traditional characters, but because letter writers seldom write love in traditional characters, and they insist on writing it in cubes of uniform size, which makes it particularly ugly.

This man was covering up his inherent handwriting, and the only reason for doing so was that he thought Qiu He was very familiar with him, at least it was possible to recognize his identity through the handwriting.

For a moment, Qiu He's heartbeat was out of rhythm.A hostile person is lurking beside you, staring at you, waiting for an opportunity to move.It feels as bad as putting the soles of your feet on the air-conditioning vent.Some way had to be found out who he was and what he was up to.Qiu He folded the letter paper along the original crease, put it in the envelope, and sealed the letter into the drawer.After finishing this series of actions, she harbored an unformed plan, and rushed to take general elective courses as usual.

Angrily, Gu Chuchu snatched the cell phone from the girl next to her, said "The cell phone is out of battery, lend me a call" and pressed the number without any fuss.After the call was made, the string of numbers on the screen turned into a title: Yiming.

While listening to the dial tone, she asked, "Do you know Wang Yiming?" "Ye Xuan and I had a good time."

Seeing that she was pretty, Gu Chuchu smiled and said, "Which girlfriend is Ye Xuan, right?" The call was connected before the girl answered.As soon as Gu Chuchu said "It's me", the other party hung up immediately.

After persistently dialing several times, Gu Chuchu threw the phone back to the tablemate: "Wang Yiming bastard, why are you so nervous to hang up on me? He thought he was Qiu He!" He complained, regardless of whether others wanted to listen or not. , "Do you know who Qiu He is?"

The girl nodded. "He's also a shameless master. If he has such a trick to seduce men, he doesn't know what his last name is. He thinks the school is run by her family." "How did she offend you?"

Gu Chuchu glanced at her, and sat up straight with his collar: "Do you know who I am?" Do other people dare to speak? Isn’t she better than me by entering school a year earlier! Everyone said that it was my turn to host because of her resignation. Pooh, can she sing or dance? She has What kind of special skills do you have any real skills? You can't even bring me footwashing water."

"You are much better than her." Gu Chuchu vented, and her anger has eased a lot. Hearing such a flattery, she was so happy that she forgot Wang Yiming. "I won't host it yet, whoever they like to invite." "Then don't, why bother?"

"Hmph, anyway, I didn't really care about being in the limelight. Hey, I've been sitting with you for half a semester, and I haven't asked her name yet. Are you really Ye Xuan's ex-girlfriend?" Gu Chuchu picked up the original topic again gossiping.

"No, I'm Wang Yiming's ex-girlfriend." The other party said with a faint smile.

Gu Chuchu's smile instantly froze on her face.Wang Yiming has only one ex-girlfriend in this school——Qiu He.

"Hahaha, why is that little girl so funny!" Xue Tao laughed all the way into the bedroom from the corridor, and it was also Gu Chuchu who laughed, "Wang Yiming dumped her and fell in love with Chen Yan, so she ran to Chen Yan's bedroom and had a big fight Nao, she is the best of all brains. I just saw a comedy there. I heard she scolded Qiu He in front of you?"

Qiu He had already forgotten about this, and couldn't help laughing: "It's normal for her not to know me, and she's not from the same department. She hadn't entered the school when I showed up. Wang Yiming is really dating Chen Yan?"

"That's not true. Tell me how unconscionable what Ye Xuan usually does. Why does it fall into Wang Yiming's hands every time?"

Lost conscience?Qiu He wanted to laugh, it turned out that Ye Xuan had reached a state where even Xue Tao couldn't find the right words to describe it.He is free, freewheeling, unconventional, daring, and best at exhausting people.

"Isn't it just this time? How many more times?" Qiu He asked. "You that time. It was said that Ye Xuan and you cultivated a good relationship, but Wang Yiming suddenly stepped in."

"What idol drama, do you believe it too? Ye Xuan's mass grave, I jumped down with such big eyes?"

Xue Tao put on his slippers and stood by the bed for a while and thought about it: "That's true." But then he thought, "But you are also one of the mass graves. You are also slightly more virtuous than him, and the essence is the same."

Qiu He looked down at the book and didn't answer.Wu Mi heard the conversation between the two of them, rolling back and forth on the bed, overjoyed: "Qiu He is wrong."

"So... did Chen Yan and Gu Chuchu fight?" Qiu He changed the subject. "No, Chen Yan waited for Gu Chuchu to finish yelling, and threw her out of the door with a push, so I said it was a comedy. The fight was a tragedy. Chen Yan still pointed at you to vent her anger." "Me?" "She said, if Gu Chuchu scolded you face to face, if you don't retaliate, you won't be Qiuhe." Qiuhe laughed and said nothing more.Xue Tao slapped his head, and began to take off his slippers and change into leather shoes again.

"Where are you going? After dinner, you have to go to the Yiyuan to rehearse the chorus. Umi will go, so it would be shameful if you don't go." "I just went to have dinner." "With the one from the Kendo club again?" Xue Tao didn't have time to answer, so he just said "um".

Wu Mi poked her head out from the curtain: "I heard that boys don't wear anything but underwear in their kendo uniforms. Is it true?" Answer: "You have to ask Xue Tao."

Before going out, Xue Tao promised: "I will definitely ask Yang Chrome for advice on this issue today." Xue Tao walked forward, and Qiu He received a call from Shen Peng pleading for Gu Chuchu. "She can't figure out the situation and can't recognize the situation. I have already scolded her. Don't bother with her for my sake. If you kill her, there will be no errands for the school newspaper to help me deal with Xue Tao. I Guarantee that she will be submissive in the future and call you 'sister'."

"I didn't want to do anything to her. But how did this matter spread so fast?" "I heard her come to report by herself, and asked me to find a way for her." "Is she around now?"" Not here. I read a text message in the middle of the talk, and then ran away angrily, and I don’t know what happened again.”

Qiu He calculated the time and estimated that Gu Chuchu rushed to Chen Yan's bedroom to seek revenge after receiving the text message.She sullenly said, "I'm not such a small-minded person, I didn't intend to do anything to her. But Shen Peng, the key is that you have to distinguish clearly whether Gu Chuchu is your confidant or your confidant."

"...What do you mean?" "Anyway, you have to figure out the situation and recognize the situation yourself." Qiuhe closed the phone and found that Wu Mi was looking at him with wide eyes in puzzlement, so he took a deep breath and said to her, "Let's change clothes and get ready to eat."

"Your aura just now was different from usual." Umi said while sitting on the edge of the bed while taking off her pajamas, "It's very serious, very much like an adult."

Qiu He found that the number of wry smiles he had recently increased sharply, which is not a good sign.

Guo Shujie went directly from the self-study classroom to the art garden, arrived very early, and saw crowds gathering in clusters in the empty corridor.When Qiuhe arrived, she nodded and greeted her, but did not approach her, but stood and chatted with the girls in her class from a distance, with a coat draped over the railing, a white one-shoulder flower bud skirt, black mesh mid-calf boots, jewel-encrusted silk The girdle made of rope is a highlight.The simple black and white tones unexpectedly stand out among the girls dressed like paint dishes.Umi followed Qiuhe, not blending into her class.

Many people are looking forward to a good show, among them Chen Yan is the most.Everyone knows that the choir is currently rehearsing indoors, and both Qiu He and Gu Chuchu are well aware of each other's existence.
