i was my mistake

This is probably one of the few foods that Wan Qing doesn't particularly like.

Probably because every time I eat it, I don’t think it tastes good, and I’m not really hungry today, so I only ate a little—but it filled Ye Chen’s lunch box to the brim, as if deliberately wanting to 'revenge' her like.

So now she has finished eating, but Ye Chen is still immersed in eating, and because he eats slowly, he has to be responsible for washing the dishes.

"Ah, you just eat this little, is it okay?" Ye Chen asked with some concern.

"It's alright."

"I don't usually eat that much, do I?" Ye Chen frowned, "I'm feeling uncomfortable? Could it be another menstruation? No way... I haven't come yet..."

"How can you have your period so soon, will you count it?" Wan Qing rolled her eyes, "It's just that I don't like rice noodles and I don't have an appetite."

"It's so rare...you actually have something you don't like?"

"If you've eaten bugs in this thing several times, you won't like it either."

"Uh……"

"Eat slowly, I'm going to the rooftop."

"Help Jinyu feed the cat again?"

"It's mainly for blowing hair, and just looking at the cat by the way."

Wan Qing put one hand in her pocket, walked out of the classroom, and walked leisurely in the stairwell.

When he arrived at the rooftop, he saw Zhao Jinyu as expected.

Usually there is no student union here at all, so inexplicably, it seems that it has become a place for the few of them to relax and relax.

Only they can take care of the tortoiseshell cat with a yin and yang face.

To be precise, only Zhao Jinyu was taking care of it, and Wan Qing and Ye Chen only came up to pet the cat occasionally.

"Is the cat still there?" Wan Qing would ask this question every time she came here.

"Here."

"How about it?"

"It's getting healthier and healthier. Look, her hair is very shiny, and her belly is a little bulging. She seems to have gained weight."

"It's well raised. It's worthy of being a cat that grew up eating chicken legs."

"I'm thinking, I put a drinking basin for it recently. If it doesn't rain in this place, it's very inconvenient for it to find water to drink. I even saw it lying on the edge to drink water from the ditch just now. It’s dangerous, you’ll fall if you’re not careful.”

"Animals like cats are always so fearless..."

……

39. Take half spring light at leisure

Thursday, June 1997, 3.

Except that it is the vernal equinox, this is an ordinary day.

At most, starting from today, the night is as long as the day, and slowly, the day will become longer and longer.

In winter, it is already dark at five o'clock, but now, at five o'clock, the sunset is still slowly sinking.

Wan Qing sat on the solitary step at the edge of the playground, her legs swaying slightly, watching the orange-red sunset slowly set, watching the white crabapple flowers outside the fence swaying gently in the breeze , Watching the few fluffy sparrows fall on the gap between the railings and look at each other with their heads tilted.

Since getting acquainted with Lin Sumeng and Mao Yeyuan in Class [-], she and Ye Chen often went out to have dinner with everyone, instead of taking turns to bring each other food from the cafeteria back to the classroom as before.

Although it will waste a little time, but chatting and eating with everyone will really relax the mind a lot.

If you eat fast, you can even take a walk by the cafeteria and enjoy the breeze after you come out.

"Qing'er, is it comfortable to sit on?" Zhao Jinyu stood not far from the back door of the school, turned his head and waved to her with a smile.

"It's cool." Wan Qing's answer was very concise.

"Here's a chubby tit for petting!"

"It doesn't hide!" Lin Sumeng shouted excitedly.

"It's so cute, but it's also so small...it's still blinking, don't you enjoy it?" Mao Yeyuan said with a face of novelty.

Cats and dogs are not so unusual for children living in the countryside. Even cats that are not so easy to touch can be touched at least a few times.

But it was the first time to touch a wild tit like this.

After all, birds have to be more vigilant. When they see people approaching, they fly away immediately, without even a chance to test them.

"Why isn't it afraid of people?" Ye Chen was also very curious, "When I met a bird that was not very good at flying before, when I saw people passing by, I would struggle to fly away."

"Is it often touched?"

"What a bold tit."

"Maybe it was a bird that was freed by someone?" Mao Yeyuan gave full play to her imagination, "Or maybe it was rescued by someone when it was injured and fed, and although it was released in the end, it is because of this that it trusts humans very much. , that’s why it won’t fly away when it sees people approaching, and it can even be petted at will—maybe the person who rescued it often petted it like this at that time?”

"It's possible?" Lin Sumeng's eyes widened, "Maybe it's true?"

"But it's very dangerous. If someone likes to eat this kind of bird, wouldn't it be easy to catch?" Ye Chen stretched out his index finger and scratched the tit's belly, and the latter even stood up a little. people caress.

But the tit is too small, it looks fluffy, but in fact it's just fluffy feathers, it feels like bones, not much meat, it makes people feel nervous that a little more force will hurt it.

"Yes." Mao Yeyuan nodded, "It will be bad if you meet bad people..."

"However, it doesn't have much meat on it, does it? It's pointless to eat it, right?" Lin Sumeng muttered suspiciously, "I really don't understand those people who don't eat poultry with a lot of meat, but insist on catching such small birds to eat." .”

"Maybe it's fresh because there is less meat?"

"Well……"

"So we should drive it away now?" Ye Chen asked suddenly, "In this way, it can be vigilant against humans again."

"It makes sense." Lin Sumeng nodded vigorously.

"Then how do you get rid of it?" Mao Yeyuan couldn't bear to be too rough on this little tit.

"Wow!" Ye Chen suddenly stomped his feet hard, startling the girls next to him. The tit was so frightened that it fluttered its wings and flew up, landing on the wall not far away, crooked. He lowered his head and looked at their group of humans with some doubts.

Its small brain probably doesn't understand why the girls who were so friendly just now 'attacked' it all of a sudden, right?

Wan Qing still didn't come down from the steps that were placed alone on the edge of the playground, letting the warm evening wind lift up her few strands of black hair.

March will pass in a blink of an eye, and spring April will be oncoming.

Time is fast.

The countdown to the college entrance examination is decreasing day by day.

Even Wan Qing, who had taken the college entrance examination, felt a little uneasy.

After all, to be honest, she didn't expect to pass the college entrance examination...

But this time, there was much hope.

What people fear most is hope.

When you have hope, you will look forward and backward, worry and fear, thinking about how to keep this kindling of hope, and let it burn more and more vigorously.

"In this world, are invincible people hopeful or hopeless?" Wan Qing muttered to herself.

She lowered her head and saw Ye Chen appearing in her sight: "What are you talking to yourself?"

"none of your business."

"Cut, why, I'm just asking, and I'm not here to quarrel." Ye Chen is used to her way of speaking, and he walked up and sat beside her very naturally, "Why don't you go down? Everyone We're all chatting below."

"What do I have to talk about with the brats?"

"Oh, you think you are very mature, and we are all childish, don't you?"

"...Oh." Wan Qing chuckled, and replied before Ye Chen wanted to say anything else, "Uncle's soul is very barren, and he can't connect with those souls full of spirituality."

"what……?"

"The longer you live, the more empty your head will be, understand?"

"don't know."

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to explain, you will understand later."

"Cut..." Ye Chen rolled his big eyes, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Ah! I understand! Are you afraid that you won't be able to chat with everyone? Actually, it's nothing. Chatting is just casual chatting. What topic to talk about, why are you so afraid of strangers, are you a little girl with autism?"

"Idiot." Wan Qing didn't explain, but just cursed with a smile.

"Tomb-sweeping Day is almost half a month away."

"Quite fast."

"We have to go back, we."

"affim."

"Did you go back then?"

"At that time?" Wan Qing was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that Ye Chen was talking about the life she lived alone. "At that time, I directly scattered their ashes into the Yintang River. When worship was needed, as long as Just put two more sets of bowls and chopsticks at home."

"...It's convenient for you, why not bury it."

"Mixed into the river, it can be regarded as truly ubiquitous."

"Then at least you can keep the urn and keep it by your side."

"Heh... I said, because I hated the two of them for leaving me behind and left this world, so I let their ashes wander in this world like me, do you believe it?"

"……real?"

"You really believe it."

"It looks like something you'd do after all."

"Ha, then you just believe it."

"Speaking of which, before going to the grave on Ching Ming Festival, should I call my mother?" Ye Chen muttered, "It would be great if I could get through..."

"Get through the phone and visit her grave while chatting?" Wan Qing laughed, "It's really yours. This idea is indeed quite creative."

"...Ah, it does seem weird."

"Maybe I can't get through, and my mother can't get through either."

"why?"

"Everything has stabilized, and the crack may have been repaired."

"Oh……"

"Ah, there are still 3 minutes until evening self-study!" Mao Yeyuan raised her wrist, glanced at the cheap electronic watch, "Go back?"

"Go back." Zhao Jinyu nodded slightly.

Lin Sumeng waved to Wan Qing and Ye Chen who were chatting in the distance: "Hey—Wan Qing, Ye Chen—! Back to the classroom!"

"Come on!" Ye Chen responded loudly like an ordinary girl, with a soft tone like a spoiled child.

Wan Qing chuckled, and followed Ye Chen slowly down the stairs.

The girls waited for the two of them to return to the team together, gathered together, continued chatting about other topics, and walked quickly towards the classroom.

3 minutes is not a long time, but it is almost enough to walk back to the classroom from the playground. If you run, you may get there in 1 minute.

After all, Yinjiang High School is not big.

Lin Sumeng and Mao Yeyuan stuck together, and suddenly thought of something and asked, "Will there be a holiday for Qingming this year?"

"No way, there are no holidays in previous years." Mao Yeyuan blinked.

"Yes, but this year's Qingming Festival is on Saturday." Zhao Jinyu pursed his lips and smiled.

"Huh, is it actually Saturday? Sigh... It seems that I'm going to follow this time too." Lin Sumeng curled her lips helplessly, with an expression of reluctance.

"What happened to Xiaomeng?"

"Every Qingming Festival, my family does not open a shop for business. I want to go back to my hometown to worship my grandfather who has passed away. I also have to worship my ancestors. From H City to my hometown, I have to transfer several buses. It takes about five or six hours to get there. During the New Year I'm tired enough to go back..."

"Can't you not go back?" Ye Chen asked.

"In the past, it was said that the Ching Ming Festival was not a holiday, and I didn't want to delay my studies. I used this as an excuse not to go, but this year it is Saturday, so obviously I can't escape."
