With things to look forward to, the following days passed quickly. In the blink of an eye, the final exam was over. Before going home, the class teacher stood in front of the podium and reminded again in a loud voice: "Tonight, the class group will have the final statistics of those who participated in the activity the day after tomorrow." As for the number of people, if you haven’t asked the parents yet, please go back and say hello. By eight o’clock in the evening, I will post a form in the group later, and those who go will write their names in it.”
But it seemed that few people listened carefully to what he said. Almost everyone was immersed in the joy of the holiday and had not yet recovered.
"Did you all hear that?" The head teacher patted the podium table and said again, "It's very cliche, but I still want to say that when you go out to play during the holidays, you must pay attention to safety. The same goes for the day after tomorrow. You must go with others for free activities... .”
Before the class teacher had finished speaking, a classmate from below answered: "Teacher Wen, we are all in high school, not elementary school students. We all know about safety issues. We are more concerned about when to let us go home."
The class teacher glanced at the classmate, looked at the clock at the back of the class, and said, "Have you written down all the homework on the blackboard? Check it again when you clean it up. If there are some missing, there are still more available in the office, and they will be picked up later. Throw it all away.”
"Xiao Youyou, have you finished cleaning up?" Hong Xiqi turned to ask Tao You after cleaning up her desk.
Tao You looked at the copied homework and proofread the test paper again: "Come on, I'll check it again and throw away the unnecessary paper."
"Then I'll go first. My mother is waiting for me downstairs in the dormitory." Hong Xiqi took her mobile phone to send a message and waved to Tao You, "Bye, see you the day after tomorrow."
"Song Yimian, wait a minute," Tao You called to Song Yimian who was walking to the door of the classroom. He stuffed his homework into his schoolbag and chased after her. "I need you to hold my tennis racket for me. Bring it here for me when school starts."
"I just remembered that I have to go to the dormitory to get it quickly. My mother is coming soon." She said, pulling Song Yimian and running towards the dormitory.
"Wait for me downstairs for a while." After Tao You said that, she ran upstairs as fast as she could. The other two people in the dormitory had already left. She picked up the racket on the table and ran downstairs without even opening the door. It's too late to pass.
She stuffed the racket into Song Yimian's arms, put her hands on her hips and said, "Thanks, wait for me..."
Before Tao You finished speaking, she saw a car appearing at the corner. Although it was a bit far away, she recognized it as her own car at a glance. She quickly pushed Song Yimian to the other side: "Hurry up, hurry up Let’s go, my mom is here, I’ll tell you the rest on WeChat later, put the racket on your back when you’re far away, hold it now, don’t let my mom see it.”
Song Yimian didn't say a word, and was clearly arranged. Fortunately, there were many people downstairs in the dormitory at this time, and the car moved very slowly. Tao's mother was still waiting at the corner, and he held her patiently He picked up the racket, turned around and walked towards the boys' dormitory opposite.
"That was Xiao Song just now, right? Why is he here?" Tao's mother parked the car and walked over, asking.
There was no trace of panic on Tao You's face. He followed Tao's mother and looked in the direction Song Yimian left, pretending to be calm and said: "He helped me take down the unnecessary things and throw them away. They are too heavy. I One person can’t move it.”
"Don't bother me all the time. Where is your roommate?" Tao's mother and Tao You walked upstairs and asked, "They cleaned up so fast and they all left?" When Tao's mother saw the empty dormitory, she didn't waste any time and helped Tao. You finished packing the remaining luggage and couldn't stop nagging, "Why are you so slow? Why haven't you collected all these clothes yet? I remember there weren't so many things when school first started. After one semester, why?" There’s so much more, can the suitcase fit it in?”
Tao You felt impatient, stopped cleaning up, and asked, "Didn't I ask dad to pick me up? Why are you here?"
"Your dad is cooking at home, why aren't you happy when I come?" Tao's mother said, putting down the stack of books in her hands and looking sideways at Tao You, "I brought so many extracurricular books here in one semester. Do you still have time to study?" She looked through the stack of books, frowning, "Some of them are newly bought."
Tao You scratched her face and didn't dare to speak. This was one of the reasons why she asked Tao's father to pick her up. After one semester, she bought a lot of magazines and solved crimes. She knew that being seen by Tao's mother would definitely be another meal. The nagging that can't be escaped, as expected, if I had known, I would have let Song Yimian take it away just now.
"Mom, it's a holiday
, can I go to the activities organized by the class the day after tomorrow? "Tao You changed the topic.
Tao's mother zipped up the suitcase and walked out the door: "Go, maybe these two days will be the happiest days of your winter vacation."
Two days later, it turned out to be a sunny day, sweeping away the haze that had accumulated for many days.
"Dad, do you know where Pinghu is?" Tao You asked Dad Tao while eating breakfast.
"It's in the west side of the city. I'm in a hurry today and can't see you off. You can just take the bus there." Tao's father was in a hurry to go to work, said a few words in a hurry and went out.
Tao You turned his attention to Tao's mother who was watching the morning news again, opened her mouth, but still didn't say the question. Forget it, mother will definitely not send her there. Tao You thought so, turned on his phone to search for the route map, and after looking at it together, he discovered that the bus time from their home to Pinghu was about forty minutes. After thinking for a few minutes, he asked in the WeChat group: How do you all get to Pinghu? ?
The three of them responded quickly, and they were all private cars.
Hong Xiqi: 'Xiao Youyou, how are you going? "
'Let's take the bus. "Tao You replied with a cracked emoticon.
'It's quite far, how about I pick you up and we go together? "As soon as Hong Xiqi finished asking, Song Yimian took over.
'Wait at the east gate of the community. I'll take you there with me. I've just set off and will arrive in a few minutes. "Although Song Yimian sent text, his tone was overbearing and did not allow Tao You to refuse.
Hong Xiqi quickly retracted her message.
Tao You replied well, counted the time, quickly finished breakfast, went back to the room to change clothes, and ten minutes later, hurried to the door to change shoes.
"Why are you in such a hurry? You don't have time to gather, right?" Tao's mother looked up from the tablet and said with a slight frown, "Don't run after eating. Your stomach will hurt later. Slow down."
Tao You's shoes were half worn, and he remembered that the water glass was still in the kitchen, so he jumped into the house to get the water glass: "Song Yimian is here to pick me up. He should be arriving soon. We can't let people wait for too long. Let's go, bye. Mother."
"Be safe! Send me a message when it's time! Don't play too late! Make a few more friends during activities and don't go alone!" Tao's mother's voice was blocked in the room with the sound of the door closing.
When Tao You arrived at the door, Song Yimian was already there. Tao You ran to open the car door. The driver was Song's mother. She showed a cute smile and said hello: "Aunt Tingwan."
"Xiaoyou, have you had breakfast?" Song's mother turned around and asked gently.
Tao You closed the door and nodded: "Eat, please come and take a walk."
"You're welcome." Song Yimian answered and handed Tao You a mint-flavored candy.
Tao You didn't answer, "I don't want to eat."
Song Yimian threw it into her lap and explained, "Didn't you get motion sickness after riding in the car before? I eat this candy to resist fainting. You can try it."
"That's right, Xiaoyou, why don't you sit in the front?" Song's mother also remembered at this moment that Tao You had a problem when he was a child. He would get motion sickness every time he sat in a car. The most serious one was that he vomited directly in the car. That posture seemed to make all the six organs vomit out. However, in recent years, Tao You's problem has almost improved.
"No, I don't get car sick anymore." Tao You shook his head, opened the mint candy, put it in his mouth, and felt the coolness rush to his forehead.
Song's mother glanced at her through the rearview mirror and reminded: "If you feel uncomfortable on the road, tell me immediately."
"Okay." Tao You disagreed. She hadn't fainted in a car for a long time, and she would definitely be fine this time.
However, things always went against expectations. The roads in the west of the city were being renovated, and the roads were full of potholes. Song’s mother tried her best to drive the car as smoothly as possible, but there were still fluctuations. Tao You swayed left and right with the car, bumping from time to time. After a while, she was very lucky to get carsick. She felt like she was on a roller coaster. She hadn't felt this uncomfortable for a long time. She seemed to have returned to the nightmare moment of riding in a car when she was a child.
Tao You still held on at first, staring straight ahead, not looking at the rapidly retreating scenery on both sides of the window. Gradually, Tao You felt more and more stuffy and top-heavy. She tried to open the window, but found that the switch was locked. On top, she kept changing positions, but she still felt uncomfortable.
Finally, she held her schoolbag on her abdomen, lowered her upper body on her legs, and tried to keep herself as steady as possible without shaking. Her eyes were closed tightly, and her stomach was filled with tears.
Overwhelmed, the mint candy in her mouth had completely melted and lost its original effect. She pursed her lips tightly and her face turned pale. The only thought in her heart was that she hoped to reach her destination in the next second.
"Youzai, are you okay?" Song Yimian noticed something was wrong with Tao You almost the moment she lowered her body, put down the phone and asked with concern.
Song's mother looked back when she heard the sound and said nervously: "Xiaoyou, please bear with me for a moment, we will be here soon. The repair speed of this road is also too slow. It was like this when I came here a few days ago. Not fixed..."
Song Yimian held Tao You's shoulders and tried to open the window. When he found that there was no movement, he frowned and interrupted Song's mother: "Mom, the window is locked. Open it over there."
"Oh, okay, okay." Mother Song opened all four windows slightly. "The dust on the road is a bit heavy, so don't open them all." After saying that, she turned on the external circulation of the air conditioner.
Song Yimian took out another mint candy from his schoolbag, opened it and handed it to Tao You: "Take another one, do you want some water?"
Tao You weakly raised her hand and shook it. She was afraid that she would vomit if she spoke. The mint candy popped into your mouth, and the refreshing sensation suppressed the nausea in your stomach, but it was quickly countered. Tao You held her schoolbag strap tightly with her hands and still kept her body pressed down, feeling that this would make her feel better.
"We'll be there soon, You Zai, please bear with it for a while." Song Yimian was anxious at the side. He knew that motion sickness was uncomfortable, but now he could do nothing but comfort him. "Why don't you lean on me and rest for a while?"
Tao You wasn't sleepy at all now, just dizzy and nauseous. She finally found a more comfortable position and didn't want to move.
"That's right, Xiaoyou, you can take a nap, close your eyes and rest your mind, and you'll be fine when you wake up." Song's mother looked forward and said.
Tao You slowly straightened up, and as Song Yimian moved to lean on his shoulder, the cold wind outside the window hit her face, entwined with a hint of fresh lime smell and penetrated into the tip of Tao You's nose, making her chaotic mind clear. With a moment of clarity, she knew that this was the smell of Song Yimian's body. Tao You took a deep breath greedily and couldn't get enough of it. The hard candy in his mouth had almost melted, and the discomfort on his body gradually dissipated. I wonder if it was the mint candy. It worked, and her frown slowly relaxed. The sound of the radio in her ears became increasingly blurry. With Song Yimian's breathing, the slight rise and fall of her shoulders, and the faint smell of lime that entered her nose, her eyelids became more and more blurred. He's getting heavier and heavier, obviously he wasn't sleepy at all just now...
Seeing that Tao You was fast asleep, Song Yimian closed the window, leaving only a crack. He reached forward and patted Song's mother on the shoulder. Without making a sound, he motioned to her to close the other windows and the radio, and then turned on the heat. The air conditioner is on.
Suddenly, a battery car passed in front of her, and Song's mother braked suddenly. Tao You fell forward due to inertia, and her schoolbag fell under the seat. Song Yimian had quick eyesight and quick hands, stretched out his right hand to stand in front of her, stabilized her body, and gently helped her return to the previous position. Tao You seemed to be uncomfortable, moved to adjust her posture, and then fell asleep with her mouth slightly open. In the past, his head just kept falling down, and then he moved it back half asleep, his brows slightly furrowed. Seeing this, Song Yimian changed his hand to hold the phone, and held her face with his right hand, helping her to hold her head in place. Seeing Tao You's brows relax, he did not put his hand down again.
"You Zai, here you are, You Zai."
Tao You heard someone calling him, slowly opened his eyes, his eyes were hazy, he smacked his lips and stretched: "Are you here?"
"We're here." Song Yimian wiped his shoulder with a wet tissue.
Tao You picked up his schoolbag, saw his movements, thought of something, raised his hand and touched the corner of his mouth, his expression became a little embarrassed, and his face turned red visibly.
Song Yimian raised his eyes and took out another wet tissue and handed it to Tao You: "Wipe it." Then he gave Tao You a bottle of water, "Drink some water and rinse your mouth."
Tao You took it, wiped his mouth vigorously, took two more sips of water, coughed twice, looked at Song Yimian's movements, and said, "Well, I'm sorry, how about I take it back and wash it off later?" I'll give it to you again?"
At this time, Song Yimian stopped, looked at the sun, raised the corners of his mouth and said, "No, wipe it clean, I don't dislike you." If Gu Yi were here at this time, he would be stunned after hearing this. , Song Yimian, who has always been obsessed with cleanliness, actually said this.
"Xiaoyou, don't you feel bad?" Song's mother got out of the car and put her arm around Tao You's shoulders.
"Sleep
I feel better now. "Tao You thought about his initial self-confidence and touched his face. It seemed a little painful.
The weather was very good, the sun was abundant, and there were mountains all around. The environment was well protected. Different from the dust flying on the road, the air here was particularly fresh. Tao You stood at the foot of the mountain, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths. The feeling of nausea finally dissipated. She covered her forehead with her hands and looked up at the top of the mountain. There was still some unmelted snow on it. Even though it was winter, the mountain was still green. The fusion of white and dark green was really eye-catching and refreshing. .
"Xiao Youyou! I'm here!" Hong Xiqi ran over and hooked Tao You's shoulders from behind. "The environment here is also very good. Laoban has a very sharp eye and can find this place."
"Wait a minute," Hong Xiqi suddenly stopped laughing and sniffed Tao You.
Tao You leaned back slightly, not used to her being so close: "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong with you?" Hong Xiqi doubted her sense of smell and smelled it again. "It smells like lemon? I seem to have smelled it somewhere. Is there something wrong with my nose?"
