Chapter 9 High School Students' Troubles
The city's key high school that He Shu was admitted to is a closed school, and even those close to home are not allowed to attend school.
This means boarding and living on campus from Monday to Friday.
He Shu sat staring at his mother's photo for a long time before taking his luggage and walking out of the house.
He brought his things to the assigned dormitory and unexpectedly found Lai Huaguang in the same dormitory with him.
He Shu didn't know that Lai Huaguang had also been admitted. Since that time, the two of them acted as if they didn't know each other, and neither of them had spoken to each other.
He Shu made the bed by himself, while Lai Huaguang sat playing with the latest mobile phone, which was a reward given to him by his family for passing the key exams.
After a while, Lai Huaguang's mother came in carrying some things. Seeing that He Shu recognized him, her face suddenly showed displeasure.
"Why are you sharing a room with him? Let's go. Mom will take you to find the teacher. Let's change dormitories." Lai Huaguang's mother put down her things and was about to pull Lai Huaguang away, but Lai Huaguang shook her hand away.
"Mom, please calm down for a while. Why are you making such a fuss just after school starts? I won't be studying here anymore."
"Baby, mom, isn't this good for you? You said you live with him, what will you do if you learn badly?" Lai Huaguang's mother is very aggressive outside, but she talks softly to her son.
"Why are you so annoyed? How many times have I told you not to call me baby? I'm so old now, and others will laugh to death if they hear me!"
He Shu pretended not to hear and continued to make his bed, but the more he didn't respond, the more Lai Huaguang felt that he was laughing at him.
"Oh, okay, you can go, I will do it myself." Lai Huaguang pushed his mother out of the dormitory and locked the door.
Lai Huaguang's mother said a few words outside the door and left reluctantly.
He touched the shallow scar at the corner of his eye. Although the two of them didn't deal with it, He Shu still envied Lai Huaguang and his mother for nagging him.
He Shu brought all the daily necessities that could be used. He arranged his things neatly and orderly, and then he found a book and sat by the bed to read.
Lai Huaguang glanced at He Shu disdainfully. He stuffed the things his mother had brought under the bed and continued playing with his phone while lying on the bed.
Not long after, several other people in the same dormitory also arrived one after another, all brought by their parents with their luggage. Except for a few adults who exchanged pleasantries, He Shu and the other students did not say much.
On the first day, I got to know the school, classes and teachers, and on the second day, classes officially started.
When he went to bed at night, Lai Huaguang had already mingled with several other boys. They played with their mobile phones together until the lights in the dormitory were turned off, and they were still talking quietly.
He Shu didn't have a mobile phone and didn't like to talk. Lai Huaguang made him jealous and said some bad things in front of other classmates. He was isolated by his classmates in the same dormitory on the first day...
Children in high school are completely different from those in junior high school.
At this time, they have their own judgment, but for unfamiliar strangers, if they find that the other party is not easy to get along with, they will not take the initiative to negotiate.
Lai Huaguang has a good way of making friends, which He Shu cannot learn.
He is always able to come up with new things and is not stingy with his friends. Therefore, knowing that Lai Huaguang and He Shu cannot deal with each other, those who are good friends with him will naturally ignore He Shu.
Generally speaking, He Shu's high school life was not pleasant. Fortunately, the school management was strict and they did not bully him as blatantly as they did in junior high school.
In fact, He Shu didn't care. He didn't like playing with them in the first place. Apart from going to class and eating, he spent the rest of the time studying by himself in the dormitory.
Xia Miao was not assigned to the same class as He Shu and was disappointed for a long time. Fortunately, He Shu could be found in the cafeteria every day when eating.
Regardless of whether He Shuli ignored her or not, she carried the dinner plate with He Shu every day.
Not long after, there was news in the school that Xia Miao and He Shu were a couple and they were in love.
Whether they are freshmen or seniors, they all point and point when they see them in the cafeteria.
Children of this age, when they are about to become adults, also have a better understanding of the opposite sex.
This made the whispers in the dark even more embarrassing.
When Xia Miao heard the discussion, she felt sweet and embarrassed in her heart, but she was not angry or flinched.
He Shu didn't react at all. He seemed to be isolated from everything.
He didn't want to have anything to do with Xia Miao. After all, they were still underage, and He Shu didn't want to promise anything to others at an age when he was incapable of taking responsibility.
Secondly, He Shu didn't have much affection for other women except his mother.
Especially because he doesn't believe in love, which may be a bit sad. He avoids this word at an age when he should believe in love the most.
But every time he told Xia Miao not to follow him with a cold face, the girl's aggrieved look and the glimmer of light in her eyes made He Shu reluctant to continue driving her away.
Over time, He Shu got used to it, and she would chatter non-stop while he was eating every day.
This feeling was very strange. Occasionally one day she didn't come on time, He Shu would feel that something was missing.
Life at school is plain and orderly, and the food in the cafeteria is more nutritious than what you cook yourself.
He Shu's height has grown a lot since entering high school, but he is still a bit thin compared to his peers.
He Zhicheng visited his son several times, but was dismissed with lukewarm comments. Later, he stopped coming. He left a bank card and deposited 300 or 500 yuan into it from time to time every month.
This is all he can save secretly now. Song Jing is holding the salary card, and He Zhicheng is too lazy to ask for it from her. He feels too tired.
Ever since Song Jing gave birth to her child, He Zhicheng suddenly seemed to have aged ten years.
He Shu watched coldly, feeling that this was He Zhicheng's retribution.
When it comes to retribution, sometimes you find the wrong person. For example, He Shu, I feel that I am quite innocent and very irritable.
Lai Huaguang, who had already isolated He Shu, still felt that he had won.
But when he heard the gossip on campus that He Shu and Xia Miao were a golden couple, Lai Huaguang suddenly felt bad.
He liked Xia Miao, and he had liked her since junior high school. Although he changed classes after junior high school, he never fell in love with other girls.
Lai Huaguang doesn't understand what is wrong with him?
That He Shu hugged a book every day, with a pale face and no expression like a ghost. Lai Huaguang didn't think he was handsome at all, but instead thought he was sinister. Do girls have problems with their eyes?
After living together for almost a semester, Lai Huaguangjue discovered He Shu's secret.
He always wears his uniform at school, and even on Friday afternoons, when the school lets him wear casual clothes, he never changes into other clothes.
He always only has two pairs of shoes throughout the year. He wears them interchangeably and brushes them back and forth until the uppers become lint-free.
His towel has always been the same one. Although it is washed very clean every day, it is almost transparent after washing.
It seemed that He Shu would replace everything until it was no longer useful. His sheets and bedding were all washed away.
"A poor guy doesn't know where he can find the nerve to be with someone else."
He Shu went back to the dormitory and was about to wash up, when he heard Lai Huaguang lying on the bed, cursing Sang and Huai. This happened not once or twice, but He Shu was too lazy to care about it and pretended not to hear it.
He walked to the balcony and took back the towels and clothes he had hung out to dry. He saw that the towels had been cut into tattered strips by something.
Fortunately, school uniforms have not been banned. It costs a lot of money to buy a set of school uniforms.
He Shu folded his clothes and looked at Lai Huaguang, and saw that he turned his head hurriedly. He was also secretly observing himself just now. This childish behavior of deceiving others made He Shu feel that it was not worth getting angry.
Shaking his head, He Shu carried the basin and the torn towel and walked out of the dormitory.
Before turning off the lights at night, Lai Huaguang saw a new towel on He Shu's clothes rack, which was as white as his bloodless face.
