Chapter 11 Love Letter (1)
A few days had passed since the outing, and the relationship between Jiang Wei and Zhao Mengfan was not insipid, but Jiang Wei noticed that she and Xie Yayi spent significantly more time together.

The sense of loss of being neglected was ups and downs in her heart, but these feelings were definitely not what she wanted.

As the final exam approached, everyone devoted themselves to intense review.As for the outing in the real sense, Jiang Wei didn't know what activities the school organized, he only knew that he and Yu Xinye sneaked away to see Osmanthus fragrans.

Sweet-scented osmanthus like a sea of ​​flowers.

Those pictures still remained in Jiang Wei's mind. Later, he thought of the painting competition organized by the school. After gradually conceiving a rough prototype in his mind, Jiang Wei began to use the time after evening self-study and homework to paint.

I estimated that it will take about two weeks to finish these paintings, and study must be taken into account during the period, so it is impossible not to suffer from dark circles.

For those art students who can go to the studio to paint anytime and anywhere, and don't have to worry about science courses at all, Jiang Wei can only envy them.

"Xunjiu, the final exam is coming soon." Jiang Wei's mother said to Jiang Wei's cousin while adding vegetables to the bowl.The boy whose name was called paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal: "Yeah."

Jiang Wei also paused, knowing what his mother wanted to say.She picked up a piece of fish and put it in grandma's bowl, and grandma hurriedly said, "Oh, well, I'll do it myself, you eat it quickly."

What is awkward is actually just a moment of anger. After all, no one can really blame their family members.The relationship between Jiang Wei's mother and grandma eased again, as if nothing had happened before.Some time ago, I threw the phone angrily because of thousands of dollars, but now I can sit at the dining table of my grandmother's house and eat together calmly.

Jiang Wei's mother looked at the food and gave Jiang Wei a piece of something, but her mouth kept saying, "Look at you, your grades are not much better, don't hurry up and work harder, you are already in the third year of junior high..."

The cousin bowed his head and took a sip of the soup, but there was no reaction.

"You can't stay with grandma all your life, right? Grandma is not in good health. What if grandma is gone one day?"

The cousin didn't answer, and then grandma joined in: "Xun Jiu, grandma won't live long, and your parents are out of town, and I, an old woman, can't take you with me. If I die, don't you want to come Begging in the street?"

"That's not it." Jiang Wei's mother took a bite of her meal, and finally looked at Jiang Wei's cousin with her eyes, "Look at your sister, although her grades are not in the top ten of her grade, at least she has special skills, and she can still do it in the future. Design, after you..."

Here we go again, annoying!
It's just a few words every time I turn them over and over again. I really don't know why this kind of words can't be chewed.After listening to it for so many years, my ears are almost twitching. What's the point of talking like this?
"Mom, eat." Jiang Wei peeled off a large piece of fish maw with chopsticks and put it in Jiang Wei's mother's bowl.

Jiang Wei's mother stopped, muttered a few more words, and then turned her attention to discussing the lawsuit with her grandmother.

Jiang Wei didn't listen any more after listening to a few words. She took a piece of fish with her chopsticks and put it into Xun Jiu's bowl.

It's not that I'm not interested, it's that I don't dare to listen.

Jiang Wei continued to eat his meal, and then felt someone touch his elbow.Jiang Wei turned his face away, and Xun Jiu met his gaze: "Sister, let's go out in a while."

In fact, it should be called cousin, but when Xun Jiu called her without a prefix, it was just "sister".He has called it for almost 15 years, and he has listened to it for almost 15 years, with a firm presence and pronunciation like "mother".

Before, Zhao Mengfan asked Jiang Wei with a question from a magazine: "If you die, who is the most worried person?" Jiang Wei thought for a long time before saying, "My mother and Ajiu."

"Ah! I still think of you, don't you think of me?" She jokingly pushed towards Jiang Wei's elbow.

It's not that I didn't expect it, but how can a ten-year inseparable friendship compare with 15 years' blood is thicker than water.

Even if I would lose my temper and quarrel with my mother, I still can't worry about her.Having divorced her father for so many years and never remarried, Jiang Wei couldn't think of anything else besides herself.

And Xun Jiu is also what Jiang Wei can't let go of the most.Others said that their personalities were carved out of the same mold, and Jiang Wei also knew that he didn't like to have too many contacts with others.Uncle and aunt are not by his side, and it is not easy to grow up with grandma.Fortunately, he learned to take care of himself early, which finally made Jiang Wei heave a sigh of relief.

My personality is colder, but after all, there are people I can't let go of.I can’t hold back my childhood sweetheart cousin, probably because his parents are not around him, and I’m afraid that no one will take care of him or someone will bully him, so I always think it’s best to cover him with my thin wings Pull a little where you get, and pull a little more.

"You'll be taller than me next year. You're growing so fast."

"You don't cut your hair all the time, you've lost all your nutrition, and you're so sick that you don't want to cut it even if you're anemic." Xun Jiu answered another matter.

Jiang Wei's heart moved, and he rubbed his bangs with the back of his hand jokingly, and Xun Jiu turned his head childishly to prevent her from touching it.

"sister."

"Ok?"

"I want to eat that." Xun Jiu stopped, looked at a barbecue stall not far away, his eyes were flat, and asked for her opinion.

In fact, she was acting like a spoiled child to her sister.

Jiang Wei followed his footsteps and stopped: "I want to eat snacks just after eating, so I don't want to do serious business."

But did not refuse.

Sure enough, it was like this. She indulged her cousin too much and never rejected him. It could almost be described as "doting".

As night falls, kebabs sizzling on the grill.Jiang Wei and Xunjiu stood aside and waited, watching the stall owner keep turning the kebabs emitting white smoke, and the bamboo sticks gleamed greasyly under the street lamps.

"Sister, you will definitely do well in the final exam." After standing for a while, Xun Jiu suddenly turned his face and said this to Jiang Wei.

"It shouldn't be much better." Jiang Wei smiled, but didn't answer directly, "I've been busy drawing these days."

"If it were me, I would like you too. Your grades are not bad, and you are talented..." He stroked her sister's hair and played with it unconsciously in her hands, "It's not like me." There was no emotion in the voice.

"Don't talk nonsense." Jiang Wei waved his hand.

"I said, sister..." changed the subject, "Is anyone chasing you?"

"No."

Xun Jiu raised his eyebrows, looking suspicious.He took the barbecue handed over by the stall owner, took out two skewers and handed them to Jiang Wei: "Then do you have anyone you like?"

Is there anyone you like?
It seems that not long ago, a few weeks ago, or more than a month ago, someone asked the exact same question.At that time, my answer was "no" against my will, but now...

After pondering for a while, Jiang Wei raised his head: "No."

No.

Is really gone.

No matter how heartbroken it is, it's gone.

"Ah..." dragging his voice, Xun Jiu obviously couldn't believe it even more, "It's a lie."

Jiang Wei patted him on the back: "It's not big or small."

After the final exam, the winter vacation is ushered in. The temperature is so low that you can catch a cold at any time, but such a cold day seems a little better in the atmosphere of New Year's firecrackers.

Yu Xinye was sitting in the dessert shop, dancing and talking excitedly to the people opposite, with a white scarf softly wrapped around her neck.The air conditioner placed on the side kept emitting white heat. After 5 minutes, Yu Xinye finally couldn't bear the heat, so he moved his chair slightly to avoid the air outlet of the heat.

"I said, what are you thinking... Hey, come back to your senses!" Yu Xinye, who had been chattering, finally realized that the person sitting opposite him was not paying attention to him at all, so he raised his hand helplessly at the other person. Shaking in front of him.

The idiot's behavior got the other party's eyes.

"I said, you haven't talked much since you came out, are you irritated?" Yu Xinye was in a good mood because he finally succeeded in attracting Jiang Wei's attention, and directly ignored the other's white eyes.

Jiang Wei lowered his head and leaned down on the table again: "I told you last time that I was going to move, do you remember?" Seeing Yu Xinye nodded, she continued, "But something has delayed me recently. .My grandma is getting old. She is not in good health and has diabetes. She was in an unstable condition some time ago and was living in the hospital. During the Chinese New Year, my mother took her back to take care of her. I’m afraid..."

The rest of the words did not go on.

After understanding the reason for the other party's frustration, Yu Xinye sighed long and took a sip of the juice in his hand: "The lawsuit is still pending?"

"Well... I don't know what to do now. My cousin is with my grandmother, and my uncle and aunt are away. If there is something wrong with my grandmother, my family must take over my cousin to take care of it. I'm not saying I don't want to, my cousin and I have a very good relationship, but our family is in such a state that I can't even take care of it myself, I'm afraid he will be affected too..."

Jiang Wei had heard his grandmother and mother quarreling more than once.Probably grandma wanted her mother to take care of her cousin in the future, but mother felt that it was not easy for her to take care of Jiang Wei, so she refused grandma.

Grandma was so angry that she pointed at her mother and said tremblingly, "Okay, okay, then I will give you Qian Zongcheng? You are still Xunjiu's aunt! If an old woman like me dies and her parents are not around, you call him a How do people live! Are you too cruel! "

At that time, Jiang Wei's mother argued: "That's not what I mean. I can't even take care of Jiang Wei now, and I can't control Xun Jiu at all."

She was hiding outside the ward, didn't listen, and left quietly alone.

Jiang Wei still remembers the last time he went to his grandmother's house, before he left, the last words he heard from his mother and grandmother were: "It costs thousands of dollars just to hire a lawyer. Maybe after a while, Xiaowei and I will have Moved, too many people living there are talking about it... the lawyer said, the possibility of winning is unlikely."

Grandma suddenly fell ill due to diabetes and was about to be hospitalized. My mother had to temporarily put down her busy work to take care of her.

But now, all kinds of cumbersome things were added together and gradually piled up into a tall brick wall, as if to press Jiang Wei under it.

She felt like a rotten fruit now, quietly staying in a corner where she could not see the light, waiting for mold to grow on her body, watching the changes outside with a resigned attitude.

What is the relationship with Yu Xinye?

classmate?friend?Someone with a better relationship?Or is it the same abandoned person with the same disease?
Or is it the person who is willing to spend almost the entire winter vacation with him in the dessert shop to complain without complaint?

In fact, it should be said that I spent a whole New Year's heat with him. The two of them went out to meet almost every day, either to eat together or to the bookstore together.During the Chinese New Year, others hid at home and counted red envelopes, but the two of them tried their best to escape.

Jiang Wei almost denied his ridiculous idea with a smile, picked up the spoon again, scooped up a piece of pudding and put it in his mouth.

Throughout the whole winter vacation, Yu Xinye was always by his side.

Even if you have insomnia on an extremely cold winter night, as long as you make a call, you can still hear an energetic "Hello" from the other end of the phone instead of a mechanical and cold female voice.This always makes people think unconsciously: go out to play during the day, and play games without sleeping in the middle of the night. Where did so much energy come from?

The nose felt astringent almost instantly.Jiang Wei lowered his head, the bangs on his forehead blocked Yu Xinye's view of her eyes, and focused all his attention on the pudding in front of him.

The pudding cup soon ran out.Jiang Wei put down the spoon, raised the back of his hand and wiped the corner of his mouth.Yu Xinye's funny voice came from the opposite side: "You are really rude. Is this the 'unknown side' that I saw?" Then, he took the napkin box beside him, pulled out one and handed it over.

Jiang Wei took it and wiped the corners of his mouth, then seemed to think of something, after hesitating for a while, an impulse rushed out of his mind, and finally prompted himself to pick up the spoon to scoop up the last piece of pudding left in the cup, and gave it to him. Yu Xinye handed it over: "Do you want to eat it? It's delicious."

Yu Xinye was stunned for a moment, before he could take back his usual indecent expression on his face.

Jiang Wei felt his face was burnt, lowered his eyelids, retracted the spoon, and said as if to save the situation: "It's fine if you don't eat it. I will eat it myself."

It's too embarrassing, impulsiveness is the devil, it's true, it must be with this kind of unscrupulous person for a long time, and then it will become unscrupulous.

"Wait." The other party's voice suddenly came from the opposite side.Jiang Wei raised his head and saw the other party's bright smile and open mouth, "Ah——"

At this moment, he suddenly felt that the way he squinted his eyes looked like a cute cat.

"What, what are you doing..." Jiang Wei panicked.

"I'll give you a chance to flatter you." Yu Xinye, who had regained his relaxed and unruly attitude, raised the corners of his mouth and smirked, "It turns out that you have been planning for a long time just to wait for this moment, haha!"

Jiang Wei froze for a moment, then became angry from embarrassment, and put the spoon directly into Yu Xinye's mouth: "There's so much nonsense."

"Hey, hey, the spoon hit my throat! Kekeke..." Choked.

"you……"

Just as Jiang Wei gloated and watched Yu Xinye covering his mouth, a girl's voice suddenly came from the side.

The two raised their heads subconsciously almost at the same time. Xia Shuo and Zhao Mengfan stood side by side at the entrance of the store three meters away from them, watching this scene with varying degrees of surprise.

Looking at those cold and soft eyes again.

Zhao Mengfan originally looked at Jiang Wei and Yu Xinye with an ambiguous expression of "I know you are not normal", but when Jiang Wei turned away from her, her face became ugly.

Seeing Xia Shuo and Zhao Mengfan standing together, Yu Xinye's face couldn't look any better.

Several people eventually left with their own ghosts.Zhao Mengfan will definitely call later to ask questions, so not only has he thought about how to explain his relationship with Yu Xinye, but more importantly, he has to explain why he treated her with that expression just now.

Jiang Wei sighed, and suddenly Yu Xinye's calm voice came from beside him: "How do you feel?"

Jiang Wei froze for a moment, then raised his head to look at his side face: "What?"

"How could I know what you were thinking? That's why I asked you." Yu Xinye shrugged, "Anyway, I have the urge to go up and beat him, but luckily I'm calm enough."

"why?"

"Actually, he can't be blamed. It was Zhang Yan who changed his mind. He didn't do anything at all." Yu Xinye suddenly mentioned his own affairs, showing a rare and anxious expression, "But they haven't broken up yet, right? How can you date other girls casually?"

Jiang Wei remembered that "Zhang Yan" was Yu Xinye's ex-girlfriend, and it turned out that it wasn't Xia Shuo who cheated, but that unattractive girl who cheated herself.But she didn't say anything in the end, she just looked at the dejected Yu Xinye, comforted him and said, "They've known each other for a long time, maybe they just came out to play together."

But the reason he made up couldn't even fool himself.

At the next intersection, left and right diverged, and Yu Xinye, who had already walked away, turned around and waved to her, "See you next time!"

Jiang Wei also waved at him.

What kind of mood do you need to be able to laugh?
Youth is prone to confusion and anxiety.Jiang Wei is not Zhao Mengfan, she has never been in a relationship, and she knows almost nothing about the steps of falling in love, and she doesn't know what it is like.Just like her special feeling for Xia Shuo, maybe that feeling is like liking, but they are clearly not familiar with each other.

Some time ago, I always wanted to see him, but I didn't want to see him.After the day of the outing, Jiang Wei always hoped that those things never happened.

As time went on, the contact with Xia Shuo became less and less, even she almost forgot how she felt towards Xia Shuo.But when he saw Zhao Mengfan standing with Xia Shuo today, he couldn't help but feel inexplicable anger again.

You clearly know that he has a girlfriend, why do you act like you don't even know?
You definitely did it on purpose, right?Do you regard Xia Shuo as those casual boys around you before?

Why are you like this?Why do I have a good friend like you?

You have the nerve to do it!
Not long after returning home, the mobile phone that was left aside suddenly vibrated continuously.Jiang Wei took the phone and frowned.

There are two new messages.

Click to open.

"What happened to you just now? What do you mean?" Sender: Zhao Mengfan.

"Where are you now? Are you back home?" Sender: Yu Xinye.

Jiang Wei deleted one of the text messages, and then began to reply to another message.

"I am home."

Delete, re-edit.

"At home, are you home yet?"

Delete, re-edit.

"I quarreled with Zhao Mengfan."

In the end, the cursor returned to its original position, and the previously revised content became a simple word: "En."

Complete the message and confirm sending.

After a while, the small hourglass on the screen of the phone disappeared, and the words "sent successfully" were displayed.

"How are you and Zhao Mengfan now?" Yu Xinye asked when they met again the next day.

Jiang Wei frowned: "I don't know either."

"I don't know?" Yu Xinye looked at the other party almost dumbfounded, "If you don't know, who else will know?"

"Forget it, don't talk about it." Jiang Wei waved his hand, with an expression that he didn't want to discuss, "You didn't come to me just to ask about this kind of thing, did you? You have to report to school tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow. Go back to school."

Thinking of going back to school and having no time to draw, Jiang Wei propped up his chin and sighed.

"Oh, I almost forgot!" Yu Xinye's attention was immediately distracted, and he put on a distorted expression of grief and panic, "Borrow homework! You must have finished your winter vacation homework, right?"

Jiang Wei turned around naturally, and took out the homework that he had prepared before going out from his backpack: "I knew you must have not written it."

"It's really Tinker Bell, it's a tacit understanding!" Yu Xinye immediately took it with a weeping expression.

"Stop talking nonsense, copy quickly." Jiang Wei supported his head with one hand, squinting at the other party, "You just told me to study hard a few days ago, I think you are better than chemistry, other subjects It's all scum, right?"
