Chapter 218
Chapter 218
During the weekend evening self-study, I didn't dare to look up at Zhiyi's eyes, afraid of seeing indifference and angry eyes.
However, my heart was full of panic, as if a little deer was running around, always wanting to do something to relieve this emotion.
Finally, I plucked up the courage and took the initiative to hand her a note.
The note said: "Sorry, I missed the appointment."
I waited nervously for her reply, feeling uneasy.
Soon, she passed the note back, saying: "It's okay, is there anything that delayed you?"
I finally breathed a sigh of relief when I saw this sentence. She at least gave me a chance to explain.
However, when I picked up the pen to write a reply, I began to struggle again.
If I told Zhiyi that I had to go to cram school every week, would she not call me next time?
If I didn't tell her, would she think that I didn't want to go out with her?
It sounds a bit strange. This trivial matter in the eyes of others made me struggle for more than ten minutes.
This is the only light in my black and white world, I must be careful.
After thinking about it, I decided to tell Zhiyi the truth.
..........
Gu Zhiyi asked: Is your mother very strict with you?
I answered her: Stricter than the prison guards.
Gu Zhiyi said: You are so pitiful, no wonder you are usually depressed.
"Pitiful?" I couldn't help thinking.
It seems that there is indeed a little bit.
I didn't have such feelings before, but I often felt lonely.
But now it is different, because I have already glimpsed the tip of the iceberg of happiness.
Zhiyi picked up the pen and wrote on the paper.
She told me that it would be fine when I went to college, and my mother might not be so strict at that time.
Don't take the missed appointment to heart. When she waited for me in the park that day, she didn't wait for nothing. She stood by the river and watched the fish spit bubbles. The water was very clear and the scenery was very beautiful.
She said that when I am free and want to go out to play, I can take the initiative to call her.
I want to say: Gu Zhiyi, you are so nice.
..........
Since then, we have talked more and more.
I did not neglect my studies, because this is the only thing I can show off, and it is also my only label.
A fool with good grades is really just a fool without grades.
Zhiyi's grades are also very good, but she is not outstanding in mathematics, and she often asks me for help.
This gave me inspiration, and I also learned to ask Zhiyi questions that I pretended I didn't know, because when I talked about these, I would not stutter.
But other than that, I still like to communicate with notes.
I didn't throw away any of the notes that Zhiyi handed over. I made a small box with cardboard and carefully stored these notes in it.
I didn't dare to take the box home, so I kept it in the drawer of the desk.
.........
Zhiyi gave me a few extracurricular books. She told me that it is not only the things that are tested on the test paper that are worth learning.
..........
Zhiyi brought me a small cake, which her father brought back from a business trip. It was very sweet.
..........
During the physical education class, Zhiyi asked me if I wanted to play table tennis together. I agreed, but I didn't even know how to hold the racket. She taught me.
..........
The gardenia I picked last time was dried by me, so I picked another one on the lawn and prepared to make it into a bookmark for Zhiyi.
..........
The bird that crashed into my windowsill has slowly recovered from the external injuries on its wings. But I don't know where it was injured in its body, it just can't fly.
A bird that can't fly, if put in the outside world, it will definitely not be able to survive.
I decided to keep it to keep me company.
I have finished reading the books that Zhiyi gave me.
The book said that there is a bird called the bluebird, which is the messenger of God, implying the sustenance of ideals and the witness of true love.
Where the bluebird flies is the paradise of hope, and people who see the bluebird will be happy.
So I named it: Xiaoqing.
..........
After two months, I finally plucked up the courage and took the initiative to invite Zhiyi to go out with me on Saturday.
Zhiyi agreed, and she asked me if we would meet at the old place?
I said yes, and secretly felt happy.
There are thousands of names, but "old place" has a special meaning. It is a secret place that only Zhiyi and I know, even though it is just the riverside of the park.
..........
People don't always get sick, so I waited for two months before I dared to ask the teacher for leave again with this excuse.
I didn't sleep all night again, and my complexion was very bad. The teacherSeeing this, I nodded in agreement without saying anything more.
I thought, three times is the limit, I will have to find a new excuse next time.
I was worried that Zhiyi had waited too long, so I walked quickly towards the park.
..........
The breeze was gentle and the sun was warm.
Gu Zhiyi wore a light green dress and white canvas shoes, her long hair casually draped over her shoulders. She stood by the river with her hands behind her back, watching the fish blowing bubbles.
The scenery was beautiful, and she was beautiful too.
This time there were only two of us.
..........
It was the third year of high school.
The atmosphere in the class became quiet, and there were more idiots like me who only knew how to study. The thick stack of textbooks on the table could cover people, and the walls were covered with inspirational slogans.
Zhiyi asked me: Which university do you want to go to?
My life has always been arranged by my mother. In the past, I should have answered: I don’t know, I will go wherever my mother tells me to apply.
But now, I asked Zhiyi: Which university do you want to go to?
Zhiyi told me that she wanted to go to the Ocean University in Q City.
I asked her: There are also key schools in the city, why go to Q City?
Zhiyi said she likes the sea.
The sea? I have never seen it, but from this moment on, I also like the sea.
Zhiyi and I agreed to go to the same university.
..........
My mother disciplined me more strictly. I was just a labor reform prisoner before, but now I am a death row prisoner before execution. I never have the opportunity to go shopping with Zhiyi again.
She told me that the hardships she had suffered before were all for the present, and the college entrance examination was the most important thing in my life.
This time, I did not call Qingyun out because I agreed with what she said.
This is indeed the most important thing in my life.
In the past, studying was just to execute my mother's orders, but now, I want to study for myself.
This is also where I think my mother's education failed. She never told me what the meaning of learning is, but just blindly asked me to get high scores.
Is learning for high scores?
I don't think so.
Learning is to let me see the vastness of the world.
..........
It was time to fill in the application form.
I did not hesitate and chose Ocean University.
I was so excited that my hands kept shaking, as if I was a prisoner who found a shovel in the corner of the room and dug a path to freedom in the unknown night.
I would go to a strange city, where there would be no mother's control. I could go shopping with Zhiyi, go to the library, watch the sea, and do many things together.
