Am I a bit special?

I said: "Yes."

As I walked to the school gate, I bumped into Guo Jingjing. She must have been waiting for Xin Xiao. When she saw me, she looked evasive. "Hey!" I shouted at her, "You're waiting for your master's servant, right?"

Unfortunately, Teacher Wu didn't see it and refused to let go. He asked, "So tell me, why did you choose her?"

The matter needs to start with a discussion on cleanliness and hygiene.

Teacher Wu frowned and said, "Qi Ying, it's not that I don't trust you, but Xin Xiao said that the fifty yuan she put in her stationery box is missing, so I have to ask you. I have already called Xin Xiao's mother, and she said she did give her fifty yuan yesterday to buy reference books at Xinhua Bookstore. According to Xin Xiao, she saw the money during the composition class in the afternoon."

Yes.

She asked me, "Did you lock the door yesterday?"

So I sat in Aunt Su's house once again. After stuttering and repeating Xin Xiao's request, Aunt Su sat beside me and gently said, "Qi Ying, you are truly a special girl. Can you tell me why you are willing to help your friend like this?"

It was during that time that I began to realize that I had always been a very kind girl. Perhaps this is what Xinxiao referred to as "special." Moreover, it was truly a happy thing to be moved by my own kindness. I started to be willing to sincerely help others and also began to strive to become an excellent student in both character and learning.

A few days later, Qiuli came back. It was said that she didn't go far and just wandered around the nearby city. Qiuli was surprised when she came back and said that she had only been gone for more than ten days. She wondered why it seemed like the class had become more united. I asked Qiuli if she regretted running away from home. Qiuli said no, not at all. If she hadn't run away, she would never have known how warm and important her family was.

Yes," Aunt Su smiled and said, "Qi Yingcheng has grown up and has secrets, right?" As she spoke, she put her hand on my shoulder again, and I smelled the fragrance coming from her body. It was a kind of warmth. I couldn't help but want to confide in her about my grievances. I don't understand why my mother can't bring me this kind of heartfelt warmth, why she always thinks of everything in a twisted way. Unfortunately, the stairs were too short, and the time to go to work in the morning was so tight that I didn't have time to say anything. Aunt Su had already walked to her bicycle.

Unfortunately, the stairs were too short, and the time to go to work in the morning was so tight that I didn't have time to say anything. Aunt Su had already walked to her bicycle. I could only force a smile at her.

Of course it's true. Xinxiao said: "I can help you with your homework when I have time in the future. Don't you think I can teach well?"

Amidst my melancholy, the second year of junior high school came to an end and summer vacation arrived. I did terribly on that exam. My favorite season, summer, became nothing more than a hot postcard stuck to the window, filled with my inner anxiety and my parents' worries. Throughout the summer, I stayed at home almost every day, forcing myself to study all day long. I once thought that if one day my grades surpassed Xin Xiao's, perhaps the world would become a different color for me. But this was simply an unattainable goal. Xin Xiao was always the top student in the grade, and between us were seventy or eighty classmates who were also desperately trying to get into a prestigious school. With so many unfamiliar exercises and English words that I couldn't memorize, just one year was not enough time.

Aunt Su rode away on her bike, her figure still captivating to me. I used to be bold in imagining my own future, thinking that by the time I reached my thirties, I could be as charming and successful as Aunt Su. But now I am afraid. Growing up is a risky business, and there are little pitfalls waiting for you, ready to make you stumble and feel too embarrassed to lift your head and face others. Can all of this be solved with just bravery and confidence? I doubt it.

Aunt Su warmly received us. While she was talking with Xin Xiao, I stood up and went to the next room to see Xiao Zhang playing computer games with his father. Xiao Zhang's fingers were skillfully jumping on the computer, and I truly envied him for growing up in such a family. I heard Xin Xiao over there speaking in a somewhat affected Mandarin, saying, "The articles written by middle school students nowadays are too vague, with too many newly coined words, lacking genuine emotions..." I couldn't help but envy Xin Xiao. Regardless, she has her own ideals and pursuits, while I seem to have nothing.

I couldn't help but envy Xin Xiao. Regardless, she has her own ideals and pursuits, while I seem to have nothing.

Teacher Wu hesitated for a moment and asked again, "Did you also open the door first this morning?"

I don't know when I started to like Aunt Su, but I have a kind of faint infatuation for her. I like to see her walking, and I prefer her leisurely figure when she rides a bike. This infatuation is completely different from idol worship. My idol is Gao Feng, who used to be in the Beijing Guoan team and is now in the Forward Island team. I can shout for Gao Feng and let the whole world know about it. But I have never mentioned my liking for Aunt Su to anyone. I hope to grow up to be a woman as special as her, but this ideal is a bit embarrassing to mention. Of course, it's not that women like my mom are not good. My mom never sneaks a peek at my diary, never scolds me in front of my friends, and doesn't interfere too much with my obsession with soccer. But she is just too ordinary, and no one would notice her walking on the street. So I hope my mom can interview, write news, wear fragrant flowing long skirts, and speak in a singing-like standard Mandarin. Under her influence, I won't be such an unknown and ordinary girl. But these are all secret wishes in my heart. My mom, who is going through menopause, is a bit petty. Once my dad just said she had gained a little weight, and she cried a lot. I dare not act recklessly. Whenever I have the chance, I always sweetly whisper in her ear, "Mom, I really like you, really like you." One is to flatter her, hoping she will let me watch the Jia A match or something, and the other is to make up for the guilt in my heart. It's really hypocritical to the extreme. Sometimes I think I'm almost like Xin Xiao.

I told Xiaoxin what Aunt Su said. She seemed a little impatient. After a while, Xiaoxin said, "Qiyin, can you go and talk to Teacher Su, ask her to help me send the article out earlier by that editor, and say that the evaluation of the top three students is coming soon, which is also a very important condition." Xiaoxin's eyes were filled with a sense of longing, and I couldn't bear to refuse her. Xiaoxin said, "Qiyin, can you go and talk to Teacher Su, ask her to help me send the article out earlier by that editor, and say that the evaluation of the top three students is coming soon, which is also a very important condition." Xiaoxin's eyes were filled with a sense of longing, and I couldn't bear to refuse her.

The matter quickly spread in the class. Since no evidence was found, they didn't do anything to me. But I hate Xin Xiao to death. It's all because of her that I ended up in this situation today. Even if I'm not a "thief", I'm at least a "major suspect". Although many classmates advised me not to worry about it, as for Xin Xiao, who doesn't know what kind of person she is, maybe her money has already been lost. But when they talked to me, I could see the suspicion they were trying to hide in their eyes. Since that day, I had no choice but to become a girl who spoke less and less. Every time I thought of Xin Xiao's fifty yuan that hadn't been found, my heart would feel cold. I no longer talked endlessly at the dinner table, which finally aroused my parents' suspicion.

Do you really know who did this?

But unconsciously, the interaction between Xin Xiao and me has increased. At first, she took the initiative to approach me, and after class, she would come to my seat to chat with me. When Xin Xiao talks to you, she likes to look at you seriously with her eyes, making it difficult for you to brush her off no matter how uninterested you are in the topic. Later, she began to tell me about her study experience or lend me some review materials that she didn't know where to get. It's really useful. I actually got a score of 91 on my last English exam, and Xin Xiao deserves credit for it. With a somewhat selfish mentality, I also gradually became enthusiastic about Xin Xiao. Once, Qiu Li asked me, "Qi Ying, what spell did you use to make our class monitor Xin suddenly become so attentive to you?"

Xin Xiaod nodded and leaned on my shoulder, mysteriously uttering three words, "Guo Jingjing".

I, I, this matter has nothing to do with me.I blushed and explained, "Xin Xiao must have remembered it wrong."

"Oh?" Teacher Wu was obviously very surprised. "As far as I know, since you came to our class, Xin Xiao has helped you a lot in your studies. What else are you dissatisfied with her?"

Have you seen Xin Xiao's school bag?

No, no. Aunt Su patted my shoulder and said, "Tell Xin Xiao that it's a good article, we will definitely publish it. I promise you, I will go and urge that editor again, okay?"

I don't know. Facing Aunt Su, I can only speak the truth: "I used to dislike her a lot, but later on, she treated me very well. So, I feel like I should help her. Did I do something wrong?"

However," I stuttered, "Xin Xiao is really anxious."

No. I said, bowing my head.

Little Zhang downstairs went to school, carrying a brand new "Watermelon Tarou" backpack, sitting behind his father on the bicycle, singing as he went home. The songs Zhang likes to sing are a bit inappropriate, such as "My Love, Naked | Naked. My Love, Ah, Naked | Naked..." and "Waiting for a Thousand Years, Waiting, Ah Ah..." Zhang's father felt embarrassed about his singing, so he spanked him all the way upstairs. For example, "My Love, Naked | Naked. My Love, Ah, Naked | Naked..." and "Waiting for a Thousand Years, Waiting, Ah Ah..." Zhang's father felt embarrassed about his singing, so he spanked him all the way upstairs.

Xin Xiaomian frowned and said, "I just want to give this real thief a little face."

I was confused and said, "Isn't it like this every day?"
