Chapter 4 The Vernal Equinox
"Tick, tick." The clock points in the direction of ten o'clock in the evening.
Su Yue lay listlessly on the bed staring at the phone screen in a daze, and the sound of the clock was particularly clear in the quiet room.
Since the last small turmoil in pleated skirts, Su Yue and Mu Yao have left contact information for each other, but two weeks have passed, and they have not contacted each other.
Su Yue turned over and stared at the ceiling, letting out a long breath. In the past two weeks, she has always unconsciously thought of Mu Yao, wondering what he is doing at the moment, thinking about what he looks like when he chats and laughs.
Because they are from different schools, they don't have any intersection on weekdays, and they only have the opportunity to see each other when they play basketball once a week.
However, Su Yue remembered that Li Qianqian had mentioned to herself that she and Mu Yao were in the same off-campus cram school, and they went there to tutor after school four days a week. She thought that this might be a good opportunity for herself to get to know Mu Yao better.
"Did you sleep Mu Yao?" Su Yue picked up her phone and quickly pressed the send button.
"Not yet, what's wrong?" Unexpectedly, I received Mu Yao's reply in less than a few seconds.
"Well, I heard from Sissi that your current off-campus cram school seems to be very good, and I think I have time to audit it this week."
"Really? It seems like this Thursday will do. ”
"Great, see you on Thursday!"
"Hmmm! See you on Thursday and good night. ”
"Good night."
Su Yue closed her phone and closed her eyes contentedly, drowsiness gradually set in, she was looking forward to Thursday coming soon.
After school on Thursday, Su Yue and Li Qianqian had a simple dinner near the school and went to the cram school together.
This is an off-campus comprehensive tuition school set up in an office building not far from the city center.
In addition to the three basic courses of language and mathematics, there are also many courses such as history, physics, and chemistry. With small class sizes, students can choose the subjects they want to study.
The elevator soon reached the eleventh floor, and the spacious and bright teaching hall came into view.
Su Yue walked into the classroom of today's class under the leadership of Li Qianqian, they were the first to arrive, and looked at the time, there were still thirty minutes before class.
The classrooms are small but bright, with three rows of desks on the left and right, each with room for two people. Su Yue sat on the middle of the left side against the wall, and Li Qianqian sat in the first row of the aisle on the right, which was said to be her special seat, which could bless her from failing the exam.
Su Yue put down her schoolbag, lowered her head and tidied up her school uniform, and straightened the bangs in front of her forehead, thinking that she was going to see Mu Yao again, she couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
She put the milk tea she bought for Mu Yao on the table, thought about it, and gently pushed it to the table next to her, she expected Mu Yao to sit beside her.
After a while, several students came in one after another. They are all from different schools, Li Qianqian introduced them to Su Yue one by one, Su Yue greeted them politely, but glanced at the door of the classroom from time to time, looking a little absent-minded.
With a "bang", the door of the classroom was almost slammed open, and it swayed back and forth in the air helplessly.
I saw Mu Yao striding in, he was carrying a black backpack, wearing a pair of white headphones on his ears, and a blue and white school uniform that set off his extremely fair skin.
Behind him came a tall girl. He was wearing the same school uniform as him, her long, dark brown curls swaying from side to side with her light steps.
"You're here!" Mu Yao spotted Su Yue sitting in the back seat at a glance, he quickly took off his headphones and walked towards her.
He looked at the seat next to Su Yue, but he didn't sit down, but walked straight to the same position against the wall in the front row of Su Yue, put down his schoolbag, and took out books and pens from it. The curly-haired girl also sat next to Mu Yao.
"Is it okay to see you for two weeks?" Mu Yao turned his head, one arm propped up on the desk in front of Su Yue, his body leaned forward slightly, a blue pen in his hand, and his slender and white fingers were flexible and elegant.
"It's good. This... For you. Su Yue looked a little shy, she reached out and handed the milk tea next to Mu Yao. At this time, the curly-haired girl also turned to look at Su Yue.
"Hi, my name is Chu Yixin, and I'm in the same class as Mu Yao." The girl showed a haughty smile, she glanced at Mu Yao, then turned around and took out a bottle of juice from her schoolbag and put it on Mu Yao's table.
"Hello, my name is Su Yue." Su Yue looked a little uncomfortable.
This beautiful girl named Chu Yixin, although she politely took the initiative to greet her, her eyes looked cold. And she seems to have specially prepared a drink for Mu Yao, what is the relationship between them?
Did she just do this too much, Su Yue couldn't help but think.
"I have something for you too." As soon as Su Yue came back to her senses, she saw Mu Yao take out a small pendant from her schoolbag, which was a bear doll with exquisite workmanship, and her rubberized limbs could swing at will, which was very cute.
Su Yue remembered that they had seen it together when they were visiting the mall last week, and Su Yue couldn't help but praise this little gadget for being so beautifully done. Could it be that because he liked it, Mu Yao secretly bought it and gave it to himself?
Mu Yao stretched out his hand and hung the bear doll on the zipper buckle of Su Yue's school uniform. Su Yue found out that there was also a similar bear doll hanging on the zipper of the school uniform on Mu Yao's chest.
Su Yue lowered her head shyly and stroked the bear doll on her chest, overjoyed.
Later, during the class, Mu Yao kept listening to the class sideways, he turned his pen for a while as if he was seriously thinking about what the teacher said, and then he turned his head to look at Su Yue from time to time.
Su Yue found that he had drunk most of the milk tea on his table, but the juice had not been opened at all.
"Hey, do you like it here?"
Mu Yao suddenly leaned his face close to Su Yue, pretending to be discussing the topic, but stared at Su Yue in a low voice and asked.
"Hmm... Like. Su Yue replied shyly.
"I love it here, because I'm here...
Because you're there, you can go anywhere. ”
This was Su Yue's inner voice, and he felt that he was one step closer to Mu Yao.
After that day, Su Yue went home to discuss with her parents, and soon she and Mu Yao entered the same cram school.
At first, the two sat in front and back, sometimes sneaking a glance at each other, sometimes laughing and playing for a while.
Later, as soon as Mu Yao entered the classroom, he sat directly beside Su Yue, and the two gradually became acquainted.
Every time she studied on her own, Mu Yao would always take off one of her headphones and stuff it into Su Yue's ear, and then quietly take her hand under the desk.
"I want to hold your hand like this and not let go,
Can love be simple and harmless..."
Jay Chou's gentle and brisk singing voice continued to linger in Su Yue's mind, as if he was repeatedly reciting some beautiful vow. The honey-like affection between the two people is also gradually fermenting...
