"Yi'an, your ability must be fine, just practice with Ren Xiao more, so let's stop here today." Teacher Yuan nodded with satisfaction, I glanced at Ren Xiao, he was still bowing his head to familiarize himself with the newly revised score, I wasn't going to disturb him, so I put away the violin and left through the back door.

"An An? Are you leaving? Ren Xiao suddenly stopped me.

"Ah, yes, I have guests at home tonight, I have to go back early to get ready." I smiled and nodded, and was about to push the door and leave, but I didn't expect Ren Xiao to rush over with an arrow step, "You wait a minute." ”

I tilted my head and looked at him with some confusion, he took out a delicate small gift box from his bag and handed it to me, not because it was too much heating in the music classroom, his face was a little red, and the moment he touched my hand, even my slightly cool hand became hot.

"I know it's your birthday, so here's for you."

"Ah...... Thank you. ”

"Hey, hey, I remember you well! Look how clearly I remember your birthday! ”

I clenched the gift box in my hand and raised a smile, "Well, thank you for my birthday." ”

Without waiting for Ren Xiao to react, I pushed the door and left. With my back against the door, I took a deep breath, looked up, and exhaled.

November 24th.

My birthday.

Ren Xiao remembers it very clearly.

However, he didn't know that it had been a long time since I had lost my birthday.

Because, it was a nightmare.

When I left the school gate, Rong Ze was standing under the tree, I nodded to him, and was about to leave, but he preemptively spoke, "Go home?" ”

I looked at him as if he was waiting for someone, and knew that Ren Xiao was the best person in the class who had the best relationship with him, and I immediately understood what he meant, "Ren Xiao is still reading music in the music classroom, and it is estimated that it will take more than ten minutes to come out." ”

"I'm asking you."

"Huh? Me? Of course I'm going home! "I couldn't laugh or cry, it turned out that Rong Ze was asking me where to go? He smiled and raised his hand to rub it on my head, but when I saw him doing this, I hurriedly avoided it, "You, you, you!" Touching your head won't grow tall! ”

"You're short." Rong Ze still rubbed my head twice, and I was about to refute, but I heard another voice behind me.

"Brother Ze......" Luo Xue's voice was very soft, and now it sounded a little aggrieved, I turned around, and when she saw me, her face suddenly changed.

What are you doing like this? I don't want to see you yet!

I gave Luo Xue a blank look, I'm a person who holds a grudge, I remember clearly the last time she pushed me down the stairs before the gymnasium! Although the staircase is only fifteen or sixteen steps, after all, it is a descendant, and if I really fall down, I don't know what it will become. After that incident, Luo Xue and I became even more incompatible, and many people in the class saw that there was something wrong between us, so they didn't ask too much as they watched the show, as if they had the answer in their hearts.

"I still have something to do at home, so I'll go back first." So I said to Rong Ze, turned around and walked in the direction of home.

About Rong Ze and Luo Xue, I heard it from Jiang Wan, the snack merchant. Luo Xue's mother and Rong Ze's mother are good friends, the two families have been very close since childhood, and they have always studied in the same school.

I recalled that day when Luo Xue was about to push me down, Rong Ze appeared, and Luo Xue seemed to be very sad and called him "Brother Ze"? Later, when Rong Ze asked me why, he immediately said about the music competition. Although this competition is a voluntary registration at the school level, the school knows the students so well that the quota for the competition has already been decided, so this matter has not been publicized at all. When that happened, there was no rumor yet, Rong Ze had to know, unless someone in the know told him. However, Ren Xiao was a temporary piano player later, and he definitely didn't know about this from Ren Xiao.

Luo Xue and I are not right for a reason, speaking of which, I am sorry for her. But after all, she wanted to push me downstairs, and she really wanted to hurt me, even if I was guilty of her, I couldn't forgive her. So I don't go head-to-head with her, and I don't take the initiative to provoke her. The sun was warm on me, and my pace slowed down a lot.

"Isn't there something else going on at home? Why do you walk so slowly? Rong Ze's voice was behind me again, and a tall shadow covered my shadow, I turned my head away and smiled playfully, "Let's Luo Da Beauty chatting with you, and you just left people there?" ”

Luo Xue behind him seemed to be shouting something, but I couldn't really hear it, just watching the sun hit his eyelashes, beautiful and heartbeat.

"How long is the music competition?" Rong Ze asked suddenly.

We walked very slowly, and I could hear every word he said very clearly.

"January 5th, that weekend." So I replied, wondering why he was asking this, "You're going to watch the game?" ”

"Are you welcome to me?" He asked again, a little inexplicable.

"Of course, I have to prove to you that I am indeed better than Luo Xue."

"No proof."

"That's not going to work, I can't live up to your trust." I shook my head and winked at him and smiled.

"Okay, I'll come."

"You wait for me."

Like a wisp of wind on the boulevard that year, your gentleness was so inadvertently that I still think back to that period long after.

Heart-pounding passing years.

"Great! There is even a chance to visit the Sacred Heart Art Museum! This ticket is super hard to grab! Jiang Wan was excited in the seat next to her, Ren Xiao glanced at her, noticed my gaze faster, and smiled at me.

"So it's a reward that only the top class can have! Okay, okay, you can rest for a while, you will get dizzy later. Ren Xiao patted Jiang Wan on the back, Jiang Wan suddenly straightened up, and her face turned a little suspiciously red.

"Wan'er, it's rare for you to be like this!" I covered my mouth and laughed.

"An An!"

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to tease you."

Today is Friday, December 20th, and our Year 2 A students are going to visit the Sacred Heart Museum. It is said that this is a reward from the school, because all the students sent out by the class to participate in various competitions have won good rankings, and in order to encourage us to continue to work hard, the principal personally went to ask for these 30 tickets.

"Anyway, Luo Xue didn't come today." Jiang Wan suddenly whispered quietly.

"She didn't come to me for anything, I'm still at ease."

"An An! Think about it, just when she was in the limelight, she was absent? There are quirks! I've heard...... It's her family that has an accident again. ”

"Leave her alone, rest!"

I didn't want to continue the topic of Luo Xue, so I reprimanded Jiang Wan twice, so I didn't look at her anymore. Rong Ze sat next to me and closed his eyes to recuperate, I couldn't continue to talk after I finished speaking, and I couldn't find a topic for Rong Ze, so I looked up at the roof of the car helplessly, and then looked down at the floor. The bus was really bumpy, I was dizzy for a while, the dazzling sunlight came in through the window, I squinted, and I wanted to vomit even more.

"Brush-pull-" The sound of the curtain being drawn, and then I felt a hand gently pat on my back, after a while, I felt better, raised my head, and met Shang Rongze's bright eyes, implying worry, frowning slightly, his eyelashes slightly curved, like crushing clouds and snow in the world.

My heart was still for a moment.

It's as if the whole world stands still.

"Are you alright?"

I shook my head, "It's okay, just now...... Thank you. ”

He was about to say something, when the bus braked sharply, and in the hurry, I felt a warm embrace, and his breath hit my face, making me lose all ability to think.

"The green light changed too fast just now, and the driver didn't react, this sudden brake, everyone is fine, right?"

"Are you alright?" It was still that sentence, and I heard deeper feelings.

I shook my head, and he let me go, and an indescribable emotion flowed between us.

Silence is the best answer.

I lowered my head, but secretly looked at the side of his face, it seemed to be a little flushed, but it was really good-looking.

The male protagonist in the novel!

I sighed inwardly and tried to relax.

Rong Ze raised his cheeks, obviously the curtain was drawn, his appearance was indeed looking at the scenery outside the window, and my eyes fell on the knuckled hands.

What I remember most about him is probably those hands.

It was these hands that helped me move my seat to the designated place when I changed tables at the beginning of school, it was these hands that helped me clean the corridor on the autumn afternoon in October, and it was these hands that pulled me out of the predicament on that night that I can't remember, and now it is these hands that protect me from getting hurt.

Rong Ze's hands are really good-looking.

"Rong Ze."

"Hmm." He whispered, and those eyes looked at me like deep whirlpools, trapping me.

"I've always wanted to ask, your hands are so good-looking, you ...... Have you ever studied piano? ”

I saw his face change as if he had been touched by some taboo, but soon he smiled, as if what I had just seen was a hallucination.

It was the first time I saw him smile so brightly, it was obviously a cold winter in December, it was obviously a cold wind, but I seemed to feel the gentle spring breeze, and in those low-hanging eyes, it was like a spring day with a thousand grass warblers flying.

it into my heart.

"Well, I studied for five years, and then I didn't study anymore."

"Why didn't you continue?" I eagerly asked, as if I had lost my words, and hurriedly covered my mouth, "Well, that's a shame." ”

"Want to hear it?"

"Huh?" I looked at him quizzically.

"Then I'll play it to you next time."

I was a little surprised, "Really? ”

"When did I lie to you?" He asked me rhetorically, and then I remembered that it was the workbook in my hand and the scratch paper in his textbook on the day Luo Xue came back from the accident, and I looked at him with my cheeks back, deliberately prolonging the end note, "Really?" Did you really not lie to me? ”

"Ahem, no." Rong Ze didn't look over, as if he wanted to hide something, I smiled, and even more wanted to tease him, but before he spoke, his face was as usual, "That's it, see you in the music classroom at three o'clock in the afternoon on January 1." ”

"Poof—can you borrow the music room casually?"

"Aren't you there?"

At that time, I probably said that we didn't expect that the place where the bus was running was irretrievably strange.

If we had known at the time, would we have agreed like that?

That heart, will it still throb for it?

I do not know.

If I had known that there was going to be a climax, then I would have prayed for time—

Slow down, slow down
