Before the trial, Ruan Yu accompanied his mother back to his hometown in Su City.

Two days before the trip was about to go, she received a call from Liu Mao, saying that he was going to visit Su City these days and asked them if they wanted to travel with him.

Ruan Yu knew as soon as he heard this, his father was ordering a couple, and he wanted to refuse but could not.

Because Liu Mao said that the reason for inviting her was because her aunt was not in good health and she was very tired to squeeze into the high-speed rail.

She doesn't care about herself, she has to care about her mother.

Early in the morning that day, Liu Mao picked her and Qu Lan and drove all the way attentively. Apart from the initial greeting, he didn't talk much to them.

After getting off the expressway and entering Su City, Ruan Yu sent him the location of his hometown and heard him say, "Your place is quite close to Huaisong's grandmother's house."

She didn't expect that Liu Mao knew the address of Xu Huaisong's grandmother's house. She choked a little and subconsciously glanced at Ruan's mother beside her.

Qu Lan was also a teacher at Su City No. 1 Middle School. Before the class was divided into liberal arts and science, she taught Xu Huaisong a semester of Chinese class.

Fortunately, she didn't have any special reaction. She probably didn't remember this student anymore. Without seeing any mistakes, Ruan Yu quickly followed Liu Mao's words: "Is that so? It's such a coincidence." After saying that, she smiled "hehe".

This episode was soon forgotten by Ruan Yu. When she arrived near her hometown, she accompanied her mother around and took a few photos. At noon, she asked her where she wanted to eat.

Qu Lan said that since she was here, it would be better to go back to No. 1 Middle School and have a meal in the school cafeteria.

Ruan Yu suddenly became nervous.

Today is Tuesday, and Xu Huaishi must be at school. If she meets her by chance, she will tell her to Xu Huaisong. Isn’t she a big step away from “falling her horse”?

So, what reason does she have to reject her mother?

No.

At twelve o'clock noon, Ruan Yu arrived near the school cafeteria.

Qu Lan came in a low-key manner and did not inform her old colleagues, so she deliberately avoided the teacher's cafeteria. But this point happened to run into the peak hours of students' meals.

Looking at the students wearing blue and white school uniforms in the distance, they were in groups of three or three, full of vitality, Ruan Yu sighed.

She lowered her head and glanced at the dress on her body, and found that she was out of place here, so she sighed to Qu Lan: "It's so good to be young, mom, look, I'm old."

Qu Lan glanced at her: "You are old, what should I do?"

"I'm going to borrow a school uniform. When you put it on, someone will ask you, 'Class, how to get to the art museum'."

"Poor mouth."

Ruan Yu Xiaoying held her hand and approached the row of leftover buckets in front of the cafeteria. When she heard a girl say to another girl, she said, "You haven't even eaten your chicken legs, are you wasting it?"

The questioned girl glared at her and said, "What do you know?"

Ruan Yu suddenly felt a little lost.

She thought that the girl didn't understand, and she might understand. - chicken legs are delicious, but if you sit in the cafeteria, no matter how delicious chicken legs are, they will only be wasted life.

She used to be the same.

My secret love when I was young was to have a pair of radar-like eyes, looking for him in the crowd all the time, but once I found him, I had to quickly turn my head and pretend not to see him, and then I made every move of myself into a perfect lady.

"Chicken legs are what I want. Xu Huai Song is what I want. You can't get both of them. You can't take the chicken legs and take Xu Huai Song." - Thinking about it now, the secret love at that time was really too simple and pure.

The most romantic thing is to put a ladder for him to climb over the wall at the back door of the school. The warmest love is to give up his beloved food for him.

And all romance and enthusiasm do not need to be responded to, nor do he even need to recognize you.

Ruan Yu was so sad that he entered the cafeteria and lined up. When it was her turn, he pointed at the braised chicken legs without hesitation and said to the cafeteria uncle: "Three."

She wants to make up all the meat she hadn't eaten enough in those years.

A circle of students around her cast a surprised look at her. Ruan Yu felt a little embarrassed and said to Qu Lan: "Mom, you are too thin, eat more meat."

Qu Lan whispered to her: "You are just smart!"

The mother and daughter found a seat near the corner.

The student cafeteria did not have air conditioning, only a dozen large electric fans were blowing. Ruan Yu picked up the chopsticks and prepared to meet the three chicken legs, but suddenly heard the wind sending a male voice over: "Xu Huaishi, that's the one just now, your boyfriend?"

She turned her head and saw a boy with a buzz cut not far away holding a dining plate and talking to Xu Huaishi.

It really can meet it.

She was about to bury her head and keep a low profile when she heard Xu Huaishi's answer: "How could my boyfriend be so handsome? That's my dear brother!"

Ruan Yu almost choked out with a mouthful of rice. The next moment, Xu Huaisong came forward with a plate and sat down opposite Xu Huaisi.

What else did the boy with a buzz cut and Xu Huaishi say to her, but she never heard it again, because at this moment, her head was full of "buzzing".

Qu Lan saw that something was wrong with her and asked her what was wrong.

This voice attracted Xu Huaisong's attention.

She turned her head suddenly when she was scared. As soon as his eyes swept over, she lowered her head and raised her hand, covering her face tightly, and shook her head to her mother to show that it was okay.

At the other end of the long table, Xu Huaisong seemed to notice nothing and said to the person opposite: "Eat quickly, and you will be sent home after you finish eating."

Xu Huaishi said "hmm".

Ruan Yu understood that the college entrance examination will be in a few days. In order to free up the examination room, there will be a short holiday in the first and second year of high school. Xu Huaisong probably came to pick up his sister home.

Then, after she survives this meal, she will be safe.

She pushed her hair to the right side, covered her face, and then picked up the chopsticks. She felt that the three chicken legs on the plate were boring, unable to chew or poke, and she could not cry for a meal, and she had to force her smile in front of Qu Lan.

After eight years, I ate with Xu Huaisong in this cafeteria again, but like every time before, I ended up not having enough food.

After the Xu brother and sister finally picked up the plate and left, Ruan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.

After dinner, Qu Lan also planned to go back, but Ruan Yu was afraid that Xu Huaisong would not go far, so he deliberately dragged his mother around the school. Unexpectedly, this time he met He Chong, the vice principal of No. 1 Middle School, near the teaching building.

This He Chong was Ruan Yu's English teacher back then and he was very close to Qu Lan and Ruan Chengru.

He recognized Ruan's mother at a glance, was surprised and happy, and he blamed her for coming, and didn't say anything.

This is impossible to escape a reminiscence.

Fu Chong talked to Qu Lan all the way, smiled kindly, and said, "It's so strange today. I just met a student in my class. It sounds like he was from the same class as Ruan Yu."

Ruan Yu knew that the tenth he mentioned was Xu Huaisong. Because at that time, the class 9 where she was in and the class 10 where Xu Huaisong was in was a liberal arts class, so there were many common teachers.

She deliberately avoided the point and said with a smile: "Teacher He is full of talents all over the world, so what's so strange about it?"

This thing just got through.

The mother and daughter were invited to the principal's office, which happened to be lunch break. After a while, a group of old colleagues of Qu Lan came over and were crowded with them.

Ruan Yu felt that this scene was not suitable for her generation, so she proposed to go to campus and come back later.

The principal's office is not far from the playground. After going out, you will be there by walking a road where cicadas are chirping.

The sun was not big today, so Ruan Yu walked around the playground and sat in the stands. On the green field, a group of boys were playing football.

She took out the note book and pen she carried with her, sat on it and wrote: "On June 5th, the weather was cloudy. Today I went back to Sushi No. 1 Middle School..."

As soon as I finished writing this, a loud shout came from the opposite side: "Be careful!"

As soon as she looked up, she saw a football shoot straight towards the stands. Fortunately, it hit the railing in front of her with a "bang" and fell down.

She was shocked, and her heart suddenly jumped out as if she realized it.

The initiator ran towards this direction quickly, and came to the stands, panting and looking up at her: "Senior sister, are you okay?"

Ruan Yu was stunned.

Isn’t this the “buzz cut” I talked to Xu Huaishi in the cafeteria just now?

How did he know that she is a "senior sister"?

She stood up, shook her head and said, "It's okay", and asked again, "Why call me senior sister?"

The other party smiled so hard that he showed his big white teeth: "Is that a junior?"

The young people nowadays have a really sweet mouth. It seems that the word "senior sister" is just a casual word.

Seeing her smiling and not answering, the boy held the football and continued to ask, "School sister, what are you doing here?"

Because the boy and Xu Huaisong were separated from each other, Ruan Yu felt that it was safe and did not act too cold. He shook the note book in his hand: "Come here to collect folk songs and record your life."

"Collection? Are you a painter? Or a writer?"

"Are a writer."

"What book did you write?"

"Romantic novel."

"Then are you very good at dating?"

Ruan Yu choked, then saw him throwing the football to his classmate, climbed up to the stands in three or two steps, and came to her: "Tell me how to chase girls!"

She laughed for a moment: "How many high do you think you are?"

"Senior high school."

"In a few days, I will be in my third year of high school, and I still want to fall in love?"

He glanced at her: "It's boring, all adults are the same."
