At the class meeting on Friday, a bombshell news exploded in the freshman class, bringing some vitality to this slightly dull class.

"Next week, it will be the turn of our class to raise the national flag, this is the list of flag raisers, and the flag raisers will go to the square to learn the flag-raising ceremony in a while" Situ Shaoqing dropped a sentence and walked out of the classroom with his teaching tools.

"Oh, oh" I don't know who shouted, Situ Shaoqing turned around, his eyebrows were furrowed, and everyone was immediately silenced, but they were frozen in a chaotic posture.

Situ Shaoqing shook his head helplessly and walked out of the classroom, the corners of his mouth raised a beautiful arc.

"Wheat, there are two of us names" Xia Youyou looked excited, she has always liked to have fun, and likes to stand in the spotlight, at that time Mai thought she was confident enough, and later learned that she just wanted to attract someone's attention.

Wheat looked up, she couldn't understand that the big devil was willing to let her spend time on these dispensable things.

"Wow, we will raise the national flag under the watchful eyes of the whole school, and then we will be the focus of the whole school" Xia Youyou completely ignored Wheat's feelings, immersed in fantasy and imagination.

What's so good about being in the spotlight? Just because I didn't do well in a monthly exam, I had to be reprimanded by the vice principal, and I was named by the big devil for a small action in class, feeling that there was no freedom in life at all, and the future was dark.

Of course, she won't say these to Xia Youyou, in Xia Youyou's eyes, she is hypocritical, how many people want to get the attention of others, but wheat is different, she prefers to stay in a corner, and even others can't see her.

It was a beautiful twilight, and the sun lay lazily on a red cloud, as if waiting specifically for him to meet her. The selected flag raisers were all chattering excitedly about something, and Wheat sat down on the steps alone, looking at the book in her hand, next time she had to do well in the exam, looking at the tone of the vice principal who reprimanded them, if she didn't do well in the exam, something big would happen.

"Hello everyone, my name is Jiang Hao, and I am your flag-raising instructor" The low and magnetic voice was like a gentle spring breeze blowing green earth.

The low voice was inexplicably moving, making her feel dizzy for a short time as if she had been bewitched. Wheat raised his head slightly, and the boy was still wearing a khaki shirt and coffee-colored pants. I don't know if it's because of the favor of the sunset, his face has a little more halo, exuding a mysterious light.

Wheat had tried her best to hide it, but her panicked eyes betrayed her crampedness and unease. She quietly tucked her messy hair behind her ears, and she regretted why she hadn't washed her hair today.

"Wheat, what's the problem, hurry up and stand in line!" Xia Youyou felt that her mind must have deserted again, the wheat in her eyes was like this, always wandering in her own world.

"Oh" Wheat reacted and hurriedly lowered his head.

There was a hint of a smile in Jiang Hao's eyes, but this most beautiful scenery, wheat missed, even if there was no escape from her, without her timidity, it would be a predetermined ending to miss it.

Jiang Haozai carefully introduced the process of raising the flag. This is followed by simple posture training......

"Teacher Situ" Jiang Hao stopped Situ Shaoqing, who seemed to pass by unintentionally.

"I think she's the most suitable to be a flag raiser," Jiang Hao pointed to wheat from afar.

Du Ruoxiao, who was originally the flag raiser, had a red face, obviously not very happy.

Situ Shaoqing's gaze gently swept over Wheat's somewhat cramped and restless little face, and his eyebrows frowned slightly. "She can neither be a flag raiser nor a main flag bearer, she doesn't have that much time."

Listening to the words of the head teacher, Mai was a little disappointed, although she had already guessed the result. But hearing those with my own ears still made Wheat a little unacceptable. Her three years of high school were sold to the school, and she no longer has the right to dominate, which is an undoubted fact, she has long understood it, but it does not mean that she is brave enough to listen to the results of the referee.

She was selected as a general flag bearer, and there was nothing else to do after the flag was raised on Monday, and the flag raiser, unlike the two main flag bearers, had to raise the flag on time and lower it on time every day. Of course, you need to hand over to Jiang Hao every day.

********

A place like the dormitory is the most suitable place for gossip, and at night, information about Jiang Hao comes from all directions, even if you don't want to know, it's difficult.

"Jiang Hao used to be a talented man at the Jingping Affiliated High School"

"Jiang Hao is one of the four young people in Jingping"

"Jiang Hao is the captain of the Jingping football team"

"Jiang Hao is the broadcast host of Jingping Radio Station"

"Jiang Hao is the class leader of the thirteenth class of art and sports"

……

Everyone chatted about Jiang Hao like nymphomaniac, but Mai stared at the ceiling blankly. The feeling she had never felt when she saw Jiang Hao today made her feel panicked. Many people have warned her not to fall in love, as long as she falls in love, she will not be admitted to college, and she also understands from many TVs that children are inevitably short in heroes. She regards romance as a stumbling block on her way to success, and she hates it and feels ashamed to be associated with it.

But she still feels that she has never seen such a handsome boy, although it is only the second time they meet, but there is an inexplicable sense of intimacy, she doesn't know anything about love, wheat doesn't know if this counts as liking, she doesn't think that love at first sight will happen to her. He probably didn't even know his name.

Thinking of this, she felt a little relieved, and she began to worry about her eating problem again.

She didn't expect that things in Jingping Middle School were so expensive, and the living expenses of one month in junior high school were only enough to support half a month here, and she would never ask her parents for money, but fortunately, she brought a whole box of instant noodles when she entered school. She decided to start eating instant noodles the next day to satisfy her hunger.

********

She didn't go to the cafeteria with Xia Youyou that day, but went directly back to the dormitory to eat instant noodles. But when she passed by a hibiscus tree, she saw Jiang Hao. She was slightly stunned, but reason told her it was just a coincidence, and she lowered her head and passed past him, who smelled of lavender.

The next day, still under the hibiscus tree, it was still that time, and she met him again.

On the third day, she met him again, and she hurried away with her head bowed.

On the fourth day, she was deliberately five minutes late, and she still passed him under the hibiscus tree.

……

Hibiscus flowers bloom and fall, except for beautiful petals falling, nothing else changes. She still regarded their encounter as a coincidence, and he never stopped her.

Perhaps it was because he began to pay attention to his existence, and people he had never seen in school before suddenly appeared in Wheat's sight frequently. She stopped upstairs to look into the distance, he would sneak past her, she went to the playground, he was playing football, she was singing the national anthem, he would go to her classroom with a red armband to check, his gaze gently swept over everyone's faces, never even lingering on her face for a second, but it was enough to make Wheat nervously seem to suffocate...... He seemed to be a lingering shadow to her.
