Chapter 132: The Deep Love in the Bamboo Happiness Story (9)
In the third year of junior high school, in order to prepare for the high school entrance examination, the head teacher rearranged the students' seats, and Jiang Zui and Sheng Mujing were no longer deskmates.
Jiang Zui was moved to the first row because of his good grades, while Sheng Mujing was in the second to last row. One was in the middle and the other in the northeast corner, with a huge distance difference between them.
The break between classes was only a dozen minutes, very short, and the two of them couldn't say much.
Gradually, Sheng Mujing made a group of new friends.
But even though they didn't say much at school, Jiang Zui would still wait for Sheng Mujing to go home together. Suddenly one day, Sheng Mujing refused Jiang Zui's request to go home and turned around to go to the Internet cafe with other classmates.
"Jiang Zui, you go back first. I have something to do later." Sheng Mujing said this with a very guilty tone.
Ever since entering junior high school, Sheng Mujing no longer called Jiang Zui "Brother Xiaozui". Instead, he called him by his name in a somewhat distant way. After Jiang Zui failed to correct him, he just left it alone.
However, Jiang Zui's way of addressing Sheng Mujing never changed, and he still called Sheng Mujing "Mumu".
"What's the matter?" Jiang Zui asked.
"Well... nothing. Anyway... you go back first and don't worry about me." Sheng Mujing didn't know how to explain to Jiang Zui, and stammered.
He has never been separated from Jiang Zui since he started school. This is the first time he doesn't want to go home with Jiang Zui, and he feels a little escapist inside.
He remembered that when he first changed his seat, Jiang Zui told the teacher that he did not want to change his seat. The classmate who had just transferred to the class, his current deskmate, asked him what was the relationship between him and Jiang Zui? At that time, he just said "neighbors", which was questioned by his deskmate.
Jiang Zui had excellent grades and was loved by teachers of all subjects. Therefore, the head teacher agreed to Jiang Zui's request, but he refused because he did not want to delay Jiang Zui's studies because of himself.
Later, after the two of them were no longer deskmates, Jiang Zui was surrounded by people, and many people came to him to discuss questions after class.
Gradually, he found that... he seemed to be getting more and more distant from Jiang Zui, even... even... even though they went home together after school every day, they had no common topics on the way home.
Jiang Zui frowned and said, "Mumu, are you...are you sure?"
"Yes, sure." Sheng Mujing nodded affirmatively.
"Okay then." Jiang Zui pretended to agree, but in fact, he secretly followed Sheng Mujing where he couldn't see.
He had noticed something strange about Sheng Mujing a long time ago, but he had never said anything because he was afraid of having a disagreement with him again.
He once had a quarrel with Sheng Mujing over Sheng Mujing's friends. That was the first time they had a quarrel.
Sheng Mujing was dissatisfied with his control over him, and he knew clearly that the other party's friends were all bad friends who would lead him astray.
In the first grade of junior high school, Sheng Mujing's grades were considered average, but in the third grade, his grades dropped rapidly.
Jiang Zui mentioned to Sheng Mujing many times that he wanted to help him with his homework, but Sheng Mujing refused.
Jiang Zui couldn't force Sheng Mujing, so he just took it slow.
Jiang Zui followed Sheng Mujing and found that he had gone to an Internet cafe near the school. He was immediately furious and strode in and found where Sheng Mujing was.
Seeing Sheng Mujing talking to a few young men with colorful hair, Jiang Zui walked up to them, grabbed their wrists tightly, and pulled Sheng Mujing out, not forgetting to take Sheng Mujing's schoolbag before leaving.
Sheng Mujing did not resist the whole time. He stared at Jiang Zui with confusion and puzzlement in his eyes.
He didn't expect Jiang Zui to appear here.
After coming out of the Internet cafe, Jiang Zui let go of Sheng Mujing, looked at Sheng Mujing angrily, and asked, "Come home with me."
Jiang Zui thought of many words to educate the other party, but when the words came to his lips, he looked at Sheng Mujing's well-behaved face and held them back.
My wife, can't be angry, can't be angry...
However, Jiang Zui didn't say anything, which made Sheng Mujing puzzled, "Jiang Zui...you...you won't scold me?"
"Scold you? What did I scold you for? Did you sneak into the Internet cafe without telling me? Or did you want to play with those gangsters inside?" Jiang Zui said with a forbearing tone.
Sheng Mujing was left speechless by Jiang Zui's words. For a moment, he didn't know how to face Jiang Zui.
God knows how much of a shock it was for him when he saw Jiang Zui in the Internet cafe. Jiang Zui's arrival seemed to bring new life to his heart, which was almost blackened.
"Jiang Zui, I'm sorry." Sheng Mujing lowered his head and apologized in a low voice.
Jiang Zui saw Sheng Mujing showing weakness, and immediately softened his heart. He sighed and said helplessly: "Mumu, let's talk it over."
"Hmm?!" Hearing this, Sheng Mujing immediately raised his head and looked at Jiang Zui eagerly. After thinking about it, he agreed, "Well, okay."
Jiang Zui and Sheng Mujing went to a nearby park.
Sitting on a stone bench in the park, Jiang Zui thought for a long time and said, "Mumu...did you find that our relationship has become distant during this period?
We were born on the same day, and from childhood to adulthood, no matter what we did, we were together and never separated.
But...but ever since the teacher changed the position, you...you don’t want to talk to me anymore.
In the past, you always had endless things to say to me, but now, you don’t even want to go home with me.”
Jiang Zui's voice became more and more aggrieved, with a look of loneliness on his face.
Sheng Mujing opened his mouth but didn't explain.
Jiang Zui went on to say: “Perhaps... you have been estranged from me since entering junior high school, but I didn’t notice.
When you grew up, you didn't want me to accompany you to the dance club, and you didn't want to call me Brother Xiaozui anymore.
We even quarreled over some insignificant people. Mumu, do you remember the first time we quarreled? You were so fierce at that time. I have never seen you like that before. "
Hearing this, Sheng Mujing suddenly thought of the day when he quarreled with Jiang Zui. He was indeed wrong at that time, and hurriedly explained: "No, I...I...I didn't mean to quarrel with you, I..."
"Okay, you don't need to explain any more." Jiang Zui interrupted: "Mumu, I just want to ask you one question, do you... do you not like me anymore?"
"How is that possible?!" Sheng Mujing retorted subconsciously, but when he saw Jiang Zui's eyes, he came back to his senses instantly. His ears turned red, he pursed his lips and explained: "I... I don't dislike you, I... I just..." I don't know how to get along with you.
Sheng Mujing did not say the rest of the words.
Jiang Zui saw that Sheng Mujing was holding back from him, so he pressed on, “Mumu, I want to know the reason.”
Hearing this, Sheng Mujing silently encouraged himself in his heart and said, "Jiang Zui, you are so dazzling. You are good-looking, good at studying, smart and obedient. You are what everyone calls 'other people's children'.
I am just average, I am not good at studying, I have a bad temper, and I get into trouble easily. You... and I... are totally different types. We... we can't play together..."
