The past six months of study and life have been very fast for Chu Ye.
Two weeks after the school started, the school began to pay out living allowances. It was twelve yuan and sixty cents per month. It wasn't much, but it was enough for her to eat and drink every month.
She didn't touch the money Mu Jiajun gave her, and planned to take it back to him when she went home for the holidays.
In the past few months, the relationship between Chu Ye and the three people in the dormitory has become more and more harmonious. She has also devoted more energy to her studies. In these exams organized by the school, she has always been the first.
On New Year's Day a few days ago, the school had a three-day holiday. Although it was a holiday, most of the students' homes were in remote areas, and it was extremely troublesome to go back and forth, so most students chose to spend it at school.
The school also understood the students' mood and specially bought some red paper to cut out some festive patterns and pasted them in every classroom. On New Year's Day, the lunch in the cafeteria also became meat dumplings, each of which was made by hand.
Chu Ye's tanned skin while working in the summer gradually faded away, revealing her original fair color. This change made her classmates look at her with admiration. Some people in other classes also gradually noticed this girl who was good at studying and good-looking.
There were also some male classmates who secretly treated Chu Ye well, but she promptly rejected them and went back. The suffering in her marriage that Zhao Xuesong brought to her in her previous life was still vivid in her mind, and now she just wanted to live her own life first.
As for a partner, she is not in a hurry right now. Even if she is looking for someone, she still wants to find someone who understands her and suits her. The figure of Mu Jiajun suddenly flashed through her mind, and then she quickly shook her head.
Good things didn't always happen in the past six months at school. For example, as she rose to prominence, she was quickly spotted by Qiao Mingzhu, and Qiao Mingzhu also recognized that Chu Ye was the person who rudely criticized her during dinner that day.
Because of this, Qiao Mingzhu didn't like anything about her, so he would stab her a few times when he found the opportunity. However, Chu Ye didn't tolerate her, and would immediately attack her back every time.
In addition, Zhao Yue and the others are not used to Qiao Mingzhu. The three of them have no worse family backgrounds than hers. When something goes wrong, they directly help Chu Ye fight back. Gradually, Qiao Mingzhu is not good at all, but her eldest lady. His temper spread like wildfire.
Yesterday, the school's midterm exam results came out. Because there were not many students in one grade in the school, after the exam the day before yesterday, the teachers worked overtime to get the results out. Chu Ye firmly took the first place in the whole grade and was awarded the award at the same time. Got a certificate of award.
Early this morning, Chu Ye simply packed up two clothes, wrapped them into a small package with cloth, and went to the school gate to wait for the bus. Qin Manwen and Leng Zhuojun's homes were close to each other, so they packed their things and went back last night.
She and Zhao Yue were originally left alone, but Zhao Yue said that her brother would pick her up from school later, so she was left alone here waiting for the bus.
Now that the temperature is low in winter, Chu Ye was stomping around in his cotton-padded jacket. Fortunately, the car came quickly. Chu Ye waved to stop. There were about ten people in the car.
This time, Chu Ye didn’t have much luggage, so he didn’t load it on the roof of the car. Instead, he put it on the shelf above the seat. Chu Ye went back and found a seat by the window. He looked up and saw that the glass window was full of white mist. .
This time the conductor changed. After paying for the ticket, Chu Ye raised his hand and wiped a small blank on the glass with his sleeves, then leaned on the seat and looked at the scenery outside the window.
Life at school during the past six months was so wonderful that she rarely felt homesick.
Whenever the other three chatted about their families in the evening, Chu Ye was always silent.
She didn't know how to speak. If she hadn't been reborn this time, she would have been called Zhao Xuesong's partner. In a few months, she would agree to Zhao Xuesong's proposal and marry to Zhaojia Village.
If she had not been reborn this time, within a few years she would have embarked on the same old path again, collapsing into despair amidst the endless torment of life.
But God allowed her to be reborn, and she successfully walked out of the mountains. Now she is admitted to school and has seen the outside world.
In this case, she will never repeat her previous fate.
Passenger buses in winter are easier to ride than in summer. I still remember that when I came to school, staying in the bus was like living on a hot pot. Now the weather is cold, and the water outside is dripping and turning into ice. However, this bus is full of people, and it is so warm that it makes people want to sleep.
With this thought, Chu Ye also fell asleep. When the conductor shouted that it was time to stop, Chu Ye woke up. She looked up and saw several people sleeping like her in the car. She rubbed her eyes and walked to the door with her luggage.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the car, the cold wind howled outside, and gusts of cold wind mixed with tiny ice particles hit his face. The original sleepiness was swept away. Chu Ye shivered with the cold and subconsciously tightened his collar.
The car was still parked near the state-owned hotel. As the Chinese New Year was approaching, there were more vendors on both sides of the road, selling baked sweet potatoes, popcorn, eggs and pork. People were coming and going on the road, which was very lively.
Chu Ye found a restaurant and ate a bowl of the most ordinary noodles. Then he took his luggage and wandered around the street. After buying a few things, he took advantage of the car to return to the village.
This time she came back without contacting Brother Jianwen in advance, mainly because it was the New Year's Eve and she didn't want to delay others with her own affairs. Just now she found a person on the roadside who was specially responsible for pulling people to deliver goods, and took advantage of their ox cart to go home.
The tiny ice particles in the air turned into soft snowflakes at some point. Originally they were falling gently one by one, but in the blink of an eye they turned into silver frost covering the ground. The driver was anxious and urged the cattle to speed up. When the flowers and plants on the roadside were covered with a finger-thick layer of frost and snow, the cattle stopped at the entrance of the village with heavy hooves.
Chu Ye got off the bullock cart, lowered her head and rummaged through her pockets to take out money, but she heard a clear male voice calling her name from behind. Chu Ye turned around in surprise, and ran straight into a pair of gray-blue eyes, it was Mu Jiajun.
The winter night came early, and it snowed today. The weather was very gloomy. Amidst the snowflakes in the sky, Mu Jiajun walked out from the tree. He was holding a bag of things in his hand. It was probably because he wore thick clothes in winter. He looked tall and felt oppressive when he walked over.
However, this discomfort disappeared as he approached. Mu Jiajun's eyes curled up, a smile hung on his lips again, and he casually reached out and took Chu Ye's luggage.
Chu Ye was initially a little dazed by his appearance. Now her hands were empty, and cold wind poured into her palms. She opened her mouth, but her brain emptied mechanically. She suddenly didn't know what to say, so she subconsciously took out Sanmao from her pocket. The money was handed to the driver.
The sound of the cattle's hoofs gradually disappeared, and the footprints they left on the road were quickly covered by snowflakes. Chu Ye finally found her voice. She looked up at Mu Jiajun and asked her most puzzling question, "Why are you here?"
Are you waiting for me on purpose? This narcissistic sentence flashed through her mind, but she was too shy to ask.
With a smile on his face, Mu Jiajun motioned to her and said as he walked, "I was waiting for the postman to deliver something, and then I thought you might come back today, so I'll see if I can wait for you here."
After speaking, he raised a bag of things in his hand, as if to prove that he was not lying.
In the snowflakes, Chu Ye was dazzled by the smile on his face. Her heart was beating unnaturally and her cheeks were a little hot. She lowered her head, not daring to look at him.
She had obviously been married and had children in her previous life, so there was nothing she hadn't seen before and didn't know. But at this moment, she was still upset, and a strange girl's heart beat suddenly appeared.
"Well, that's good. I just happen to be home on vacation today." After Chu Ye calmed down, he lowered his head and replied.
Suddenly, a pair of big hands went around her head, and then a red plush scarf fell on her neck. The originally exposed skin was covered with warmth. Mu Jiajun was so close that Chu Ye even smelled the faint scent of honey locust on him.
She subconsciously took a step back and distanced herself somewhat uncomfortably.
However, those big hands left before she withdrew. Mu Jiajun didn't seem to realize anything. He was half-bent, looking at her level.
Chu Ye saw his appearance in his gray-blue eyes. His originally pink and white complexion looked even fairer due to the scarf around his neck. The scarf was wide and covered the lower half of his face, revealing only a pair of Dark eyes.
The little girl's eyelashes were slightly lowered, and her eyes moved around uncomfortably, but they never landed on herself, like a little fox.
Mu Jiajun rolled his eyes and reached out to pat her head twice, "This scarf is a New Year's gift for you. It's just right to wear on this snowy day."
After saying that, he turned around and continued walking forward. The ground was already covered with a layer of white snow. Mu Jiajun walked in front, taking one step at a time. He was holding the two people's things in his hands. His tall figure seemed to be a stable iron bar. Chu Ye walked behind him, and Feng Xue seemed to be embraced by him.
"How have you been at school these past six months? Do you still get along well with your classmates?" Mu Jiajun didn't look back, and his words were still full of concern.
"It's pretty good. My roommates are kind-hearted and treat me very well." Chu Ye told the truth. As Mu Jiajun became more concerned and spoke more, Chu Ye also gradually opened up the conversation, and the two of them seemed to have returned to the time when they were tutoring. , Invisibly, the unfamiliarity of more than half a year disappeared.
The winding dirt road ended as the two chatted. At the end of the road was the Chu family's yard.
Probably because of the falling wind and snow, everyone in the village went home early to keep warm. They didn't meet many people along the way. Warm yellow lights had already been lit in the Chu family's house. Mu Jia Junjian sent people to the door. , returned the luggage to Chu Ye, turned around to leave after saying goodbye, but unexpectedly, the corner of his clothes was pulled.
"This is the money you gave me before. I didn't use it after I went to school. I want to return the money to you." Chu Ye let go of his hand and put a few pieces of cash in his other hand.
Mu Jiajun's eyes drooped, and he saw clearly that the money was still the same as the ones he gave him before, there was no difference.
"Okay." He stretched out his hand, and his knuckled fingers swept across Chu Ye's palm. She felt itchy inexplicably, and she tried to shrink her hand under the pressure in her heart, pretending that nothing happened.
"Then I'm leaving, cousin." Mu Jiajun waved his hand, turned and walked into the wind and snow, his words drifted in the wind and fell into Chu Ye's ears.
