Aftermath of breakup

Chapter 5

Who is the first to pretend not to know whom?

But it doesn't make sense to fight for the priority now. In the end, it's a situation they jointly contributed to.

Duan Xinglian's focus is not on this either.

Seeing Pei Yi's smile that hadn't appeared for a long time, he bit his canine teeth and bit the tip of his tongue lightly, and then replied with a tense jaw, "There's no one here."

Pei Yi's glass-like eyes moved, thinking that it was so.

So he nodded and asked directly, "Is there something wrong?"

There are more than just things, there are many things.

For example, why did you delete your friends, why did you pretend not to know each other, why did you leave without a word... But in the final analysis, these all come down to one question - why did you break up suddenly?

But Duan Xinglian remembered that after he received the news, he broadcast the calls over and over again but no one answered, and searched everywhere but found nothing. He even bought a ticket to Rongcheng.

It's just that he suddenly calmed down a moment before boarding the plane. Since Pei Yi turned around and left without hesitation, everything he's doing now is actually futile and meaningless. To Pei Yi, it may be nothing at all.

So at this moment, he won't say or ask about these things.

but……

Duan Xinglian thought for a while, and still picked the lightest and easiest problem to reverse the situation.

"When did you decide to transfer to Yancheng?"

After asking, he looked at Pei Yi rightly. Unexpectedly, Pei Yi stopped when he heard this.

Duan Xinglian felt bad when he saw his expression.

Pei Yi looked at Duan Xinglian's expression, but he would not lie, and finally he could only answer truthfully: "Early July."

Pei Yi also came to Yancheng in early July, and met Duan Xinglian by chance on the first day in Yancheng.

At the end of July, Duan Xinglian held Pei Yi's hand in the dark, and since then Pei Yi has had a handsome and considerate boyfriend.

Pei Yi when he was in love was not the same as now, clingy and cute, always smiling sweetly at Duan Xinglian, and Duan Xinglian was really on top at that time, in short, it was like falling in love .

But looking back now, that time was more like a summer farce played out under the scorching sun.

After all, from the very beginning, what Pei Yi told him was not to transfer schools, he said that he just came to Yancheng for tourism.

Pei Yi looked at Duan Xinglian's unpredictable expression, if it was someone else, it would be like this according to his personality, and he could do what others think.

It has always been difficult for Pei Yi to feel the rich emotions of others, and he doesn't care, so he can only see the most intuitive expressions of others, make the most simple understanding, and give some simple feedback.

But this time he couldn't help walking a little closer, and couldn't help but say: "At that time, my mother's position was not determined, and I wasn't sure if the handover would be successful."

If you don't succeed, you will go back to Rongcheng.

So I didn't deliberately lie to you at first.

But as soon as these words came out, Pei Yi also knew that it was not satisfactory, because he had many opportunities to explain to Duan Xinglian later, but he didn't.

As for the reason, it doesn't take much to guess - he never thought of being with Duan Xinglian for a long time.

Duan Xinglian didn't know if he thought of this too, he stared at him in the shadow, his breathing seemed to be heavy.

"Then why did you come to Seventh Middle School?"

Even if the transfer to the attached middle school was unsuccessful, there was still another middle school of the same level to choose from, so why did he choose the seventh middle school?

You can't deliberately come to him to make things difficult.

Unexpectedly, this question happened to be asked about Pei Yi's doubts. He thought about how to speak more tactfully.

But Pei Yi has been going straight for more than ten years, and he really didn't learn this skill, so he still whispered: "I thought you were from No. [-] Middle School."

Duan Xinglian: "..."

He was indeed in the No. [-] Middle School in junior high school, but he and Shao Yu went to the No. [-] Middle School with stronger science subjects when he entered school. However, Fang Ai and Lin Siwei were both still in No. [-] Middle School, and he did take one from Fang Ai during the summer vacation. The comprehensive science in the middle is done by the self-proclaimed paper.

It was probably seen by Pei Yi, and Pei Yi also knew that he was in the No. [-] middle school, so he thought it was normal for him to go straight to the middle school.

So this turned out to be the result of a mistake.

Duan Xinglian's expression was almost lost, he almost didn't know what to say, he gritted his teeth: "You are really frank."

"I……"

"It's nothing." Duan Xinglian laughed self-deprecatingly, "You did the right thing."

Breaking up should have been so straightforward, he was thinking too much.

That's it, there's nothing more to say.

All the rest will be like this.

Duan Xinglian turned around, clenched his fingers in his trouser pockets, and walked forward without looking back.

Pei Yi looked at his back, lowered his eyelashes, which cast a shadow, and opened his mouth, but he didn't ask to stay.

Duan Xinglian over there did not hear a word until he approached the corner. Taking advantage of the timing of the turn, he glanced back, only to find that the person standing there had disappeared at some point.

Duan Xinglian rose up in one breath, taking big strides resentfully.

Passing by the pavilion where he usually eats, he heard Shao Yuting call him loudly.

"No appetite." Duan Xinglian said as he walked forward quickly, and replied stiffly, "I don't want to eat."

Shao Yu didn't know why, but said to him anxiously: "Why don't you eat! I want to tell you about Pei Yi in the morning!"

Duan Xinglian stopped for a while, followed his footsteps to turn, but when he walked in front of Shao Yu, he frowned preemptively: "Pei Yi, Pei Yi, why are you always Pei Yi? You grew up with me Or did you grow up with Pei Yi?"

Shao Yu didn't expect this development, and what he was about to say suddenly stuck in his throat. Why did Duan Xinglian seem more irritable than a few days ago?

In an instant, Shao Yu's thoughts turned, and he thought of the most impossible possibility.

——Although Duan Xinglian has always kept a low profile, he is indeed considered a man of the hour in school, and everyone pays attention to every move he makes.

After Pei Yi and Duan Xinglian broke up during class yesterday, some people didn't know what they heard again. Anyway, after a meal of adding fuel and jealousy to catch the wind, there came out such a rumor——Shao ​​Yu paid too much attention to Pei Yi, Thus, Duan Xinglian was ignored, which was why Duan Xinglian couldn't understand Pei Yi.

Shao Yu almost didn't laugh when he heard this at first, thinking that when he was chasing stars, he spent money and resources, Duan Xinglian at most just said respect your choice, how could he care about this.

He thought to himself that you don't understand, Xiao Duan is just in a bad mood because of a broken relationship!

If Duan Xinglian really cared, he probably had to get excited to show respect.

This was his previous firm thought, but what Duan Xinglian said just now... Shao Yu couldn't help being shaken, did he really care?

But it's also possible if you think about it, after all, Xiao Duan is now a sensitive time, and it's normal to not be able to stand the turmoil of friendship.

Shao Yunian's eyes were gradually stained with a strange light, and he just wanted to ask Duan Xinglian for confirmation, and asked him if he was really jealous!

But before he could say anything, Duan Xinglian took a deep breath secretly and asked, "What's the matter with Pei Yi?"

Shao Yu: "?"

Seeing that he didn't answer, Duan Xinglian seemed a little impatient, and urged: "Didn't you just want to talk about Pei Yi, what happened to him?"

"Huh??" Didn't you care just now?Shouldn't you eat my vinegar!

The turning point was so sudden that Shao Yu was a little confused.

But Duan Xinglian was still waiting to hear, Shao Yu didn't have time to think about it, so he cracklingly told what happened in the morning math class.

After finishing speaking, there was a biased concluding speech: "Mr. Li is really serious, and he didn't type out the words Rongcheng Joint Examination on the test paper, so why not let Pei Yi shout it out with a loudspeaker? He The operation is too rhythmic."

"The same goes for our classmates. They are too annoying to talk too much. Those who don't know think that their idols have collapsed. Thanks to Pei Yi's generosity, it will be me who will be replaced, and the next day..."

Shao Yu was talking, but found that the people around him were silent, and when he looked up, he found that the other person's face was gloomy, even uglier than before.

Seeing it, Shao Yu even forgot what to say next: "Yes, is it very annoying?"

"Xiao Duan? Duan Xinglian?"

"Anyway, that's it." Shao Yu hesitated, thinking about his thoughts, and finally waved his hand and said, "Oh, but if you really don't want to hear about him, I won't—"

Before the words finished, Duan Xinglian asked to himself: "His grades are worse than yours?"

"It should be about the same. I heard that the final grade of last semester seems to be more than 500?" Shao Yu realized that he was connoted. "My grades are not so bad, and more than 500 is not bad, okay?"

Duan Xinglian ignored him, and quickly calmed down and began to organize his thoughts.

Li Jiang, the head teacher of the sixth class, is obvious to all. From time to time, he heard Shao Yu say that Mr. Li was angry with so-and-so again today. Extremely rare unscathed.

But with Pei Yi's face present, his sense of presence couldn't be lowered.

Although Pei Yi's family conditions are not bad, because Aunt Pei's work ability is very strong, and Pei Yi is basically given the best, but in Li Jiang's eyes, it is probably an ordinary worker's family, and it is not even as good as others who have both parents. .

The rest is grades. Duan Xinglian asked Pei Yi how his grades were during the summer vacation. Duan Xinglian made an appointment with him to do homework together, and he just held Duan Xinglian's shoulder to watch him write the questions.

Therefore, Pei Yi didn't account for any of the above three points, and his usual personality seemed to be particularly easy to offend people like Li Jiang, and judging by the situation, he probably already offended him.

Duan Xinglian was a little annoyed, and subconsciously thought, if Pei Yi is willing to transfer classes, Mr. Zhao, the class teacher of Class [-], is a nice person...

When I realized it, I couldn't help but frowned, thinking, what does this have to do with me?People themselves may not care.

Thinking of this section, Xing Lian let out a sigh of relief, got up and left.

"You really don't want to eat?" Shao Yu was heartbroken, "Then you should at least eat a pomegranate pad!"

Duan Xinglian said: "Bring it to your deskmate."

When Shao Yu heard this, he was stunned again, not quite sure whether he was speaking in anger or in earnest.

And can he still mention Pei Yi in front of him in the future?This has no beginning and no end, what and what.

Forget about it, and Shao Yu didn't enjoy eating alone, so he returned to the classroom after hastily eating.

And really gave Pei Yi that pomegranate.

Pei Yi turned his head to look at him, and Shao Yu said, "Small fruit after dinner."

"Thank you." But this time Pei Yi didn't accept it, "No more."

"Huh? Don't you like eating pomegranates?" Shao Yu didn't think much, "You still find it hard to peel?"

Except for mangoes, Pei Yi likes any fruit, but it is true that pomegranates are difficult to peel. Duan Xinglian always peeled them well before——

Pei Yi blinked, dismissed the thought, and only replied: "I don't want to eat."

He just thought that Duan Xinglian really didn't want to talk to him this time.

Shao Yu was his good friend again, and I heard that Duan Xinglian seemed a little unhappy because Shao Yu got too close to him.

Pei Yi didn't want him to be unhappy because of this, so he decided to reduce unnecessary interactions with Shao Yu.

Pei Yi is a person with strong execution ability, and he starts to implement it after making a decision.

First, he refused Shao Yu's small snacks from time to time, and Shao Yu only responded when he talked to him.

During the last physical education class in the afternoon, Shao Yu invited him to go down with him, and Pei Yi also let him go first.

But probably Pei Yi's personality was always like that, and Shao Yu didn't notice the changes he made secretly, so Pei Yi did what he said.

And they only did some basic exercises in physical education class, and disbanded after warming up and running.

Shao Yu went to play badminton with his classmates and called Pei Yi, but Pei Yi refused to go.

But when they were separated, Pei Yi paid attention to it, and felt that these students were not familiar, as if they were not from Class Six.

Just as he was thinking, he saw Duan Xinglian walking over, without moving his eyes to him, and greeted a group of people.

Only then did Pei Yi realize that they were all in the same class.

Standing among them, Duan Xinglian didn't look very enthusiastic, and occasionally just smiled casually, but it looked very harmonious, as if everyone had a good relationship.

It turned out that he was like this when he got along with others, and he seemed to be very comfortable.

Pei Yi lowered his eyes, stopped paying more attention, and found a shady corner where flowers and leaves were hanging down to sit and solve problems.

His former classmate in Rongcheng sent two math competition questions over, saying [Our class is wiped out, we will die in peace but there is nothing we can do, so I will take the risk of disturbing you for a while, please take the time to give me an idea, I will wait Thank you so much, thank you so much, in short - Yixian'er, it's a ball! ! 】

In the past, their class could be said to be the strongest class in the entire Rongcheng. The students' brains competed with each other, and Pei Yi was quite interested in the questions that they were helpless.

He took out a pen and paper while he was free.

But he didn't notice the gaze not far away.

After Shao Yu finished his badminton bye, he found Duan Xinglian standing aside and not playing basketball. He didn't know why he was in a daze.

Following his gaze, I happened to see Pei Yi contemplating the test question in his hand, looking a little worried, probably because the test question was difficult.

"Pei Yi really worked hard." Duan Xinglian was the one who saw him first, so Shao Yu felt that it was okay to mention it, and he couldn't help muttering, "I don't even see how he plays after class." , basically doing the questions, studying hard.”

Obviously the attitude is very good, but Li Jiang is still like that.

And at this moment, Shao Yu looked at Pei Yi's concentrated figure, and thinking about his grades similar to his own, he really felt that the harder he worked, the more sad he became.

So he couldn't help sighing: "Oh, it would be great if he got good grades, and if he doesn't show the proof to Mr. Li, he can be tougher."

When Duan Xinglian heard his words, his eyes moved slightly, but he didn't say much.

On the other hand, Pei Yi did feel a little tricky when he was doing the questions, but it was not to the extent that he was completely out of ideas, and he had already solved more than half of the solutions before class was over.

After the dissolution, he continued, and after he had solved both problems and sent them to his old classmates, and received a few enthusiastic compliments, he went to the small supermarket to buy rice balls.

When he returned to the classroom, Shao Yu hadn't come back yet, but Pei Yi hadn't stepped into his seat. As soon as he walked to the table, he found a book suddenly added to the table.

After sitting down, Pei Yi opened it, and found that it was actually a math review material, with detailed basic knowledge, highlighted important and difficult points, and outlined classic examples.

And this information is not common in their school, but Pei Yi has a rough look and knows that this information is very suitable for middle-level students.

Pei Yi didn't know who put it here at first, until he saw some precise handwritten answers next to a few slightly complicated questions.

Pei Yi stared at the very familiar handwriting on the page, and was stunned for a while before deciding that it was indeed Duan Xinglian's handwriting.

But why did Duan Xinglian send this information to him?He doesn't need it either.

Pei Yi rarely showed a hint of doubt, feeling a little bewildered.
