42.Sting (3)

The boy faces April with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes are clean and elegant.

He held out his hand to her, "Hello, we're meeting again." โ€

April didn't expect Gu Qingyan to remember her, and there were stones falling from the heart lake, setting off ripples.

"Hello." She rubbed her hand against her clothes, then shook it.

But for a second, the hands were separated, and April didn't even have time to feel the residual warmth of his fingertips.

She thought that this was the closest she was to him, and that was already good.

"You know each other."

Xia Bai blinked on the side, looking at the two of them back and forth curiously.

"Hmm." Gu Qingyan glanced at April and said lightly: "There have been several encounters. โ€

Xia Bai let out an "oh" and quickly diverted the topic.

Later, in private, Xia Bai told April that she used the policy of saving the country with curves. Since Gu Qingyan clearly rejected her, then she would be good friends with him, and when he got used to her company, the two would be together naturally. Xia Bai's thoughts were simple and direct, and he planned to melt Gu Qingyan's cold heart with warmth.

April asked her why she liked Gu Qingyan, and Xia Bai smiled frankly: "Does love at first sight count?" When I saw him for the first time, a voice in my heart told me that it was him. โ€

April listened quietly, his eyes calm.

In this way, April became a qualified light bulb and is expected to be on the road to the light bulb forever.

Then the three of them got along like this: when Xia Bai and Gu Qingyan were arguing about mathematical propositions in front of her, she was silently in a daze; When they were in the library to do the competition mock questions first, she was gnawing on complex and difficult English words to prepare for dictation; When they talk about MBAs and various Hollywood movies, she counts crows in her heart; When they were planning to go skiing in Mexico after the college entrance exam, she searched through the maps in her geography book and couldn't find the location of Mexico.

That's the gap.

Staying with the two top students, her grades didn't improve at all, after all, the scope of their discussion was far beyond the high school level.

Her eyesight was getting worse and worse, and by the time there was no light at night, she could barely see anything. Grandma noticed her condition and slowly reduced the time she spent beading, but her eyesight did not improve. Sometimes Grandma would look at April intently, her rough and dry palm gently brushing her eyebrows, shaking her head and sighing: It's a pity that such a beautiful pair of eyes.

April felt that it didn't matter, and it was not easy to live well.

In the afternoon, the lazy sunlight pours in through the window edge of the library, making people a little drowsy. There are pots of cacti and spider plants by the windowsill, and the air is faintly fragrant.

April squinted her eyes and looked at the young girl bathed in the sun in a trance.

They're a good match.

The thought popped up in his mind, and April blinked, turned his head, and returned his gaze to the homework at hand.

The dense text did not reach her mind, and April bit the tip of her pen with no focus in her eyes.

She actually didn't understand how Xia Bai and Gu Qingyan got along.

On that day, the young man obviously rejected Xia Bai with an extremely bad attitude, but now looking at the way the two of them actively discussed the test questions, where can they show the appearance of the previous dispute, and Xia Bai's tears that day have become extremely unreal.

April quietly turned her face sideways, the boy's serious and soft gaze, and the girl's secretly happy look, accompanied by the long road of time, deeply and clearly engraved in her mind.

Time, you go slowly, and when she can still see clearly, please let her look at them a few more times.

In the following days, Hu Mei always felt that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between Xia Bai and Gu Qingyan, such as Gu Qingyan became more and more silent, and looked at Xia Bai's gaze becoming deeper and deeper. As the final exam approached, there seemed to be some kind of agreement between Xia Bai and Gu Qingyan, and there was an inexplicable sense of tension between the two of them.

April thought that Xia Bai was more competitive and wanted to surpass Gu Qingyan in terms of results, so he persuaded her in private. Xia Bai smiled bitterly, and there was a sorrow that he had never seen before lingering between his eyebrows, "April, you don't understand, a person as good as Gu Qingyan, I have to work hard for a long time to catch up with him." I never wanted to overtake him, I just wanted him to stop...... Wait for me. โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆโ€

"After holding on for so long, working hard for so long, the hopeless chase made me feel tired. Perhaps, I have never been able to make him like me. โ€

"Summer White ......"

"I'm not satisfied with being friends with him, I'm greedy, and the months I've spent with him have made me more and more infatuated with him, and I can't stand him just treating me as a study partner, so-" Xia Bai was silent for a moment, "I told him the day before yesterday, and I told him that I still like him." โ€

"How did he answer?" April asked in a soft voice.

She was a little unaccustomed to this kind of Xia Bai, because the carefree Xia Bai from before was gone.

Xia Bai seemed to laugh, maybe it was April's illusion, and Xia Bai's dream-like murmur came from his ears: "He told me he was sorry." โ€

"Compared to the last merciless refusal, he has already given me a lot of face this time, and I don't know if I should be happy or sad."

"......" April didn't know how to comfort her, so she could only be silent.

What happened later was unexpected, and her later days felt unreal, as if she had fallen into a sweet and extravagant dream.

Because of the unspeakable discord between Gu Qingyan and Xia Bai, the form of getting along with the three of them has changed drastically. For example, Gu Qingyan used to be very close to Xia Bai, but now he doesn't know whether he is intentional or unintentional, he takes the initiative to talk to Lin April at every turn, saying plausible jokes.

"April ......" The boy chewed on her name with a soft expression, and suddenly smiled lightly: "Your name is really special, was you born in April?" โ€

When the girl heard this, she was stunned, and then shook her head, "I'm from December." โ€

This conversation --

A trace of obvious confusion flashed in Gu Qingyan's dark eyes, and he raised his head and glanced at her as if he was exploring, "Have I asked you this question before?" โ€

โ€œโ€ฆโ€ฆ No. April looked away and replied slightly stiffly.

When the boy heard this, he thought, "Oh, maybe I'm mistaken." โ€

April tugged at the corners of her mouth in embarrassment, barely squeezing out a smile. Maybe it was too much pressure to walk with Gu Qingyan, she stopped her steps, looked back at Xia Bai, and quietly waited for the other party to come forward. On weekdays, Xia Bai is the most active atmosphere,

At this moment, she was so quiet that she was a little abnormal, and there was no trace of blood on her little melon seed's face. Seeing April looking at her, she also stopped, stayed in place for a while, and suddenly said, "I found out that I still have something to do, so I won't go to the library, you guys can go." After saying this in a hurry, he didn't wait for April to react, so he turned around and stumbled away.

April was startled, and instinctively planned to take a step to chase after her, but the boy next to her grabbed her arm quickly and said in a deep voice, "Let her go." โ€

There was a hint of restraint and depression in his hoarse voice.

"But ......"

"Are you deaf by what I said?" The boy interrupted her impatiently, withdrew his hand โ–กโ–ก his trouser pocket, looked at her expressionlessly, and said coldly, "Let's go, come with me to the library." โ€

April stiffened, and the wrist she was holding just now ached faintly, she subconsciously pursed her lips and compromised: "Hmm." She could feel Gu Qingyan's annoyance and anger, but she didn't know where his feelings came from.

He is sunny, he is evil, he is indifferent, he is uncertain, completely different styles, and he is perfectly connected.

Like, he should have been like this.

It was the first time they had been alone, just her and him. In the quiet library, there was only the sound of the scrubbing sound of the tip of the pen scribbling on the paper, and the young man looked calm and did the mock questions, as if he was not affected by the unpleasantness just now. April bit the tip of her pen and didn't have much heart to do her extracurricular homework, and the cold breath of the teenager hit her face, making her feel a little dizzy.

Just take a look, just take a sneak look, April said to himself in his heart. There were two villains fighting in her heart, and in the end, she couldn't help but raise her head-

Then I couldn't move my body anymore.

It turned out that I don't know when, Gu Qingyan had already put down the pen, and was staring at it with a smile at the moment, and his dark eyes were bottomless.

"You're peeking at me." The boy is determined.

April was a little embarrassed in his heart, but his face was still paralyzed, and he didn't admit or deny it.

Gu Qingyan waited for a while, and when she saw that the girl in front of her didn't mean to speak, she couldn't help but restrain her smile a little. April quietly lowered her head, put her eyes on the homework book, and seemed to think seriously.

"Hey." The boy shouted unwillingly.

"Huh?" April tilted her head to look at him, quietly waiting for the following.

The boy deliberately crooked the corners of his mouth, smiling a little flat, April's heart suddenly burst, and there was no defense, the boy suddenly leaned over, and his delicate and perfect facial features were enlarged in front of her eyes.

"I said, do you have a crush on me?"

With a smile on his lips and a bewitching look in his eyes, he was tempting her.

"Nope." The girl replied categorically.

Firm, powerful, and unsparing, that's the answer she gave.

Gu Qingyan smiled, blinked her eyes, her eyelashes as thin as cicada wings swept down gently, she glanced at her in confusion and confusion, shrugged her shoulders, and obediently sat back in place.

"I'm sorry, I'm being sentimental." He lifted the corners of his mouth to one side, his eyes pale and pale, "Remember, never like me." โ€

April listened, his eyes remained unchanged, and he continued to bow his head and start his homework.
