In the remaining time, Gao Caiqin reluctantly slept for a few more hours. When she had to get up in the morning, she felt as if a thousand kilograms of weight were on her body, trying to push her back into the ocean of sleep.
"Lin Xuerou, you harmful person!" Gao Caiqin cursed bitterly, used all his willpower to get rid of the Sandman, and got up.
When they arrived in the classroom and saw Guan Yu, Gao Caiqin grabbed her.
"You coward, you hid silently last night and pretended to be asleep, scaring me half to death!"
Guan Yu blinked his doubtful little eyes and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Are you still pretending to me?" Gao Caiqin was so angry that he wanted to twist her arm twice, but she had such a temper that came and went quickly. Then she waved her hand and said, "Oh, forget it, I'm not It’s really your fault!”
"No, I really don't understand what you are talking about." Guan Yu looked serious and didn't look like he was lying.
Gao Caiqin was also stunned: "You really don't know what happened last night? Just...at two or three in the morning, didn't you hear anything?"
Guan Yu laughed unceremoniously and loudly: "Are you sure you are not dreaming? Poor baby, you can't tell the difference between dreams and reality."
"What? How is that possible!" Although he said this, there was a slight wavering in his heart.
"Anyway, I slept until dawn yesterday and had a sweet dream. I dreamed of a handsome guy, hehe..." Having said this, a shy smile appeared on Guan Yu's face, as if he had returned to last night. That dream.
Gao Caiqin's suspicion of herself deepened. She knew Guan Yu, and he was not the kind of person who liked to play tricks on others. Her behavior just now was definitely not an act of pretense.
I believe it is just a flower in the mirror and a moon in the water. Sometimes, a casual word from someone else can instantly destroy the trust that you have worked so hard to build. And human beings are even weirder. They would rather believe in others than themselves.
Gao Caiqin spent the day in a daze, her mind filled with the strange and even supernatural incident last night.
If what happened last night was not a dream, why was the other girl who lived in the same room unaware of it? Why did a girl who had little interaction with him know his father's nickname for him. But if it was just a vague and illusory dream, why were there really two pills missing from the pills in my medicine box?
Are there really two pills missing? Memories began to appear chaotic and fuzzy again, and seeds of doubt always took root and sprouted quietly. As time passed, those insignificant memory fragments that had not been taken seriously at first began to melt like snowflakes.
She stared at the board of pills in her hand, and now there were only 4 pills left. Was there only 4 pills left originally, or were there 4 pills left after she gave two pills to others?
The head teacher, Teacher Qin, interrupted her memories of cutting and arranging things.
"Does Lin Xuerou know?" Teacher Qin asked.
"Ah?" Gao Caiqin didn't know how to answer her for a while: "Uh... I'm not sure. I seem to be aware of it."
Teacher Qin sighed: "Yes, it was such a big fuss, and it happened right at the school gate. So many pairs of eyes saw it. No matter how hard we try, we can't stop others' mouths."
Teacher Qin's eyes showed infinite tenderness: "How is Lin Xuerou doing now?"
"Well... I feel... not very good." Gao Caiqin suddenly felt sour in his heart.
"Hey, what a poor child!" Teacher Qin said sadly: "She disappeared for several days for no reason. Finally she came back, and her father had another accident. You live with her, you must help me keep an eye on her. Son, if there is anything wrong with her, tell me as soon as possible, do you understand?"
Teacher Qin gave a few more instructions, but Gao Caiqin just listened silently and responded a few times absentmindedly.
"Leave me the key to your dormitory before you go home." Teacher Qin said suddenly.
"Ah?" Gao Caiqin was caught off guard and didn't understand what she was going to do.
Teacher Qin explained patiently: "It's the weekend again soon. You all have gone back. I'm afraid Lin Xuerou is the only one left in the dormitory. Her mother... doesn't seem to be willing to take care of her, so I think it's better to let her live there." In the dormitory, I stayed to take care of her on weekends." Teacher Qin said sincerely.
"Hey, how could such a thing happen to a good person!" Teacher Qin sighed with regret.
Yes, why should this happen to me? Why should I be the one who encounters this kind of thing?
She retracted her hands into her sleeves, clenched her fists tightly, and let her nails dig deep into her flesh.
…
When Gao Caiqin returned home, the huge house was empty, deserted and silent. Since his father left, the house at home seemed to have had its soul taken away.
Although he didn't stay at home for long in the past, they were like two groups of animals with intertwined schedules, and it was often difficult to see each other. But there are some people who can make you feel at ease just knowing that they are there.
We always tie the other end of our hearts to others, just like throwing an anchor on the uncertain sea, so that we are not so lonely and hesitant.
Gao Mu was the only one at home, so she opened her brother's door. There was a little boy sitting in front of the spacious desk. All kinds of books filled the table, almost engulfing the little child.
"Caterpillar, isn't mom at home?" Gao Caiqin imitated his father and called him by his nickname affectionately.
Her father calls her "Little Butterfly" and her brother "Caterpillar", which makes them siblings.
"Mom went out to do errands." Gao Mu blinked his pure and bright black eyes like a deer.
Gao Caiqin walked up and touched his little head gently: "How are you...the injury on your head?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just a scratch." Gao Mu showed a bright smile, which made Gao Caiqin's heart heat up.
Thinking of what happened that day at the beach, Gao Caiqin felt that it was another dream.
When her mother arrived, the look in her eyes as if she wanted to eat someone made her feel like she had fallen into an ice cave. "I accidentally fell down." The younger brother defended himself this way, but when he saw his hysterical mother, she felt an inexplicable desire for revenge.
"No. I pushed my brother and he fell."
The mother's eyes widened in surprise and she roared in disbelief: "What did you say? Did you push it? Why did you do this? I didn't expect that your child has become so bad now!"
She just remained silent for a long time, letting her mother vent her anger, confusion, and resentment on her. Sometimes pain can be a good medicine, using one pain to heal another pain.
"Don't you blame me? Caterpillar." Gao Caiqin asked softly.
"You didn't mean it."
"What if I did it on purpose?" Gao Caiqin said reluctantly.
There was a confused expression on Gao Mu's childish face, but then he said firmly: "You didn't mean it! There was a snake under that stone, and you pushed me away because you were afraid it would bite me!"
Gao Caiqin's hand movements paused: "You...you saw it too?"
"Well, I saw a snake tail with black and white circles." Gao Mu said.
"It's true... I thought I was dazzled. It was like a bolt of lightning, flashing in front of my eyes and then disappearing." She suddenly smiled and said, "It turns out it was not a dream, it was real!"
Gao Mu didn't understand why she was so happy, but seeing his sister happy, he became happy for no reason: "Of course it's not a dream, it's real!"
"The night before we went to the beach, I had a terrible nightmare. I dreamed that you were bitten by a very venomous snake. That kind of snake is very rare, and the hospital couldn't find one that could save you for a while. The medicine, and then, and then..." At this point, she suddenly stopped.
But Gao Mu, a silly boy, was aroused by her curiosity: "What happened next?"
"Then I woke up!" Gao Caiqin smiled and breathed a long sigh of relief: "Fortunately, you're okay!"
"Well, I'm fine. My sister saved me." Gao Mu said.
"Caterpillar, I'm really happy now. I'm so happy that I want to sing and dance. Oh, by the way, why don't you play the piano now?" Gao Caiqin walked to the piano placed on the side of the study room, opened the cover, and He reached out and touched the keys, which were as warm as jade. .
Gao Mu just glanced at the piano that he used to love so much, and said: "I don't know why, but I don't like playing the piano at all now. But my mother paid for me to sign up for such an expensive piano class, and I don't want to learn it anymore. , I feel very sorry for my mother..."
"How about you teach me how to play." Gao Caiqin's eyes sparkled. "I want to play the piano."
