After getting off the bus, Qin Fengge bid farewell to Zhou Datong at the bus stop and returned to his home. He knew that what awaited him at home was most likely a fierce reprimand.

When he arrived home, the sky had already darkened. Everything in the house seemed to be the same as usual. Qin Fengge's mother was working overtime at work while his father, Qin Zhong, was still sitting in front of the television, watching the boring program. Qin Zhong Mu looked at his son as he put down the large and small bags. He said, "I'm back. There's leftovers in the fridge. Go ahead and eat them hot. Then, I'll ignore Qin Fengge."

Qin Fengge was indeed a bit hungry, so she opened the fridge to see if there was anything to eat. In the end, all she saw was some leftovers as she shook her head helplessly.

Sitting in front of her father, Qin Fengge was hoping that his father would say something to her. Even if she just asked him if he was used to living in Wuhan or if his uncle's family was doing well, he quickly realized that his father didn't seem to care about anything other than his own life.

Seeing that Qin Zhong was silent, Qin Fengge took the initiative to find a topic to talk to her father, "Dad, I missed you when I was in Wuhan."

Qin Lie slowly turned his head back and gave an "En" sound. He did not say another word.

"Oh right, Dad, Uncle asked me to bring you a sweater, he said you would definitely look good wearing it! I'll bring it to you. "

Qin Fengge took out a light gray sweater from her luggage. It was something her uncle had instructed her to give to her father before she left. Qin Lie looked at the sweater, then pointed to his wardrobe and said, "I don't go out that often. Why would I wear such a decent outfit? Put it away."

Just then, Qi Fang came back. When she saw Qin Fengge and the annoying stuff on his bed, she said, "What is this? The zither? "Where did it come from?"

Qin Fengge wanted to say that she had bought it, but when she remembered where the money for the guqin had come from, she changed her tone and said, "I left it here as a classmate. I'll send it over in a few days."

"Stop lying to me, did uncle give you the money to buy it?" "Chuchu, our family's living conditions are not good, but even so, we can't just take money from others for free, right?"

Qin Fengge thought that this money really did contain the New Year's money that her uncle had given her during the Spring Festival. She could only lower her head and say, "Uncle did have good intentions, so I accepted it as soon as I declined. But it's not for borrowing, I'll pay it back when I grow up."

Qi Fang believed his lie again and lay on the bed to rest. Qin Fengge was worried that her mother would call her uncle for confirmation. She hurriedly went downstairs to find a public phone and made a statement to her uncle.

After he came back, Qin Fengge was lying on her bed, caressing the guitar beside her. She couldn't let go of it. Looking at the damp spots on the ceiling, looking around at the dim and small hallway, and then thinking back to her uncle's sunny and spacious home, Qin Fengge felt the gap in her heart become even more obvious. He thought that one day, he would leave this home, this place that made people feel so stifled!

Birds must learn to fly …

As for Zhou Datong, the first thing he did after he put his luggage back home was to call Jean Jiannan. Although the two of them had frequently contacted each other back in Wuhan, he now wanted to see her more than just hear her voice.

Not long after, the two of them met at a fast food restaurant they had agreed on. She was wearing a pink casual outfit, making her look so cute and ladylike. However, when she saw Zhou Datong, she cried out in surprise:

"Ah!" "How did you get so fat?!"

The shouting attracted the attention of the surrounding people. Zhou Datong wished he could find a hole to hide in, if the hole was wide enough to accommodate his waist area. What Jing Jiannan said was right. Zhou Datong had eaten and slept soundly in Wuhan, so his weight naturally rose by a lot. However, this was still not enough to make anyone surprised.

As the two of them drank their soda at the fast food restaurant, Zhou Datong's gaze never left her face. She frowned and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you always looking at me?"

Zhou Datong said sinisterly, "I haven't seen you in a month, so of course I'd look at you a few more times. Isn't your beauty just for others to see? What do you do at home when I'm not there? "

When she heard him praise her, a hint of red surfaced on her face. She said faintly, "Nothing much. I was just doing homework, reading books, and watching TV. When I felt bored, I just wanted to talk to my older brother upstairs."

Zhou Da Tong knew she was referring to Zheng Xiao Qiu, and asked, "How is Zheng Xiao Qiu doing to you? Have you been bullied? "

"Big Brother Xiao Qiu is very good to me, but he seems to be very busy. Every time I go find him, I almost shut the door. But sometimes I see him playing in the district basketball court, so I go over to talk to him or something. "

"It's normal to be busy. After all, it's a man." Zhou Datong said, whether intentionally or not.

Thinking of something, she immediately became spirited. "How good are you at learning the zither? When can you play it for me? "

Zhou Datong did not want the other party to know that he was forced to play the drum because his fingers were too wooden. He rolled his eyes and decided to tease the other party, "Tsk, who am I, Zhou Datong? Guitar was something that could be learned easily! If you want to hear me play, you can, but... "

Zhou Datong deliberately stretched out the word "passed" very long, so it was only natural that he would say, "But what?" Four words.

"But you have to kiss me!" With that, Zhou Datong brought his fierce-looking face closer to hers.

When she heard this, she was like a frightened rabbit. She lowered her head and played with the ornaments on her wrist. After a long while, she stammered, "Okay, but I can only kiss …"

Seeing that his trick had succeeded, Zhou Datong pressed his face closer and closed his eyes, waiting for the upcoming surprise.

She decisively extended her right hand and used her four fingertips to scratch his face, leaving four clear scratches on his face. Looking at Zhou Datong holding onto Yangzi's painful face, Ran Jiannan said triumphantly, "Hmph, you want to take advantage of me? No way …"

"Jianan, you're too ruthless!" Zhou Datong looked at the bloodstains on his face and could not help but scold them.

When she saw the four claw marks on Zhou Datong's face and felt blood oozing out, she regretted that she had used too much force. She quickly took the napkin from the table and carefully wiped the other person's face. She said guiltily, "I'm really sorry, I was too careless. You …" You don't hate me, do you? "

At this moment, Zhou Datong had experienced the feeling that Tian Tian shouldn't be called so lame. He thought to himself, No matter what, I'm still a big brother in the school. It's always others who take advantage of me. Hmph, you, Ran Jiannan, if it was anyone else, I would have already slapped you. Thinking of this, Zhou Datong's heart felt increasingly unbalanced. However, he dared not to speak out in anger. He could only allow Ran Jiannan to wipe away the burning wound on his face …

After the start of school, Qin Fengge met the "big" Zheng Xiaoqiu.

He hadn't seen Zheng Xiaoqiu in a holiday. His hair was dyed yellow, and he wore gaudy clothes. When he walked, he swaggered, making everyone feel uncomfortable. This change caused Qin Fengge to be slightly surprised. However, the two of them did not separate because of this. Zheng Xiaoqiu took the initiative to introduce her winter vacation experience to the other party.

As it turned out, Zheng Xiaoqiu had nothing to do at home during the winter break, and his only entertainment was playing basketball at the community basketball court. But there were too many players, so what if the court was not enough? Easy! Whoever had the toughest fist had the right to occupy the field! The law of the jungle, this was a thousand years of unchanging nature. Zheng Xiaoqiu was 1.8 meters tall, he had few opponents for fights and games. In addition, the partners he brought along were all good at fighting, so the rest of the players who came to play were no match for him. They could only watch from the sidelines. Zheng Xiaoqiu didn't think that it was inappropriate. He felt that only those who were hot-blooded and hot-blooded could be considered true men. They just treated fighting as a warm-up before the match.

Until one day, Zheng Xiaoqiu led everyone to the court to play football. As usual, the atmosphere on the court was no longer lively. The players all left, leaving behind only a young man who was throwing baskets to himself, as if he did not see Zheng Xiaoqiu's arrival. Zheng Xiaoqiu observed him carefully and discovered that he did not belong to any group of people outside the stadium. This made him even more infuriated. He thought to himself, if he dared to be so arrogant by himself, wouldn't that be like slapping himself in the face?

"Brothers, attack!"

The four or five brothers that Zheng Xiaoqiu brought along rushed over like hungry wolves. However, they were all knocked down to the ground within a few moves. The other party didn't seem to be harmed in any way. Instead, he stretched out his hand to provoke Zheng Xiaoqiu.

Zheng Xiaoqiu, who was standing at the side, said angrily, "Who are you? Why did you attack my brothers so heavily? "

The young man laughed lightly: "You're just a nobody, how could you know my name? If you want to play, come over and fight. If you don't dare to make a move, scram to the side! "
