Chapter Twenty-Eight: Full of Heart
Fang Ruo walked in the direction of the classroom, and when he was about to pass by the familiar figure in front of him, he suddenly called out to her.
"Fang Ruo, wait a minute."
Fang Ruo stopped and looked at him suspiciously, Chen Zifan's face was flushed, beads of sweat were still oozing from his forehead, and his breathing was a little short, as if he had just stopped after running.
"It's hot, don't get heat stroke, this is for you." He stretched out the popsicle in his hand in front of her, his eyes were full of caution, Fang Ruo looked at the vanilla pattern on the outer packaging of the popsicle in front of him, and felt cool.
"Chen Zifan, thank you for your kindness, but I have a cold and can't eat popsicles." Fang Ruo looked at him apologetically, and told him that she couldn't say anything because of her menstrual period, so she had to use a cold instead, and she wouldn't ask for anything from him, regardless of whether she was unwell or not.
"Got a cold? Are you feeling better? No wonder you didn't eat a popsicle just now. When he saw her downstairs passing by the commissary, his eyes were a little lonely as he watched her classmates eat popsicles, and he thought she didn't have enough change and wanted to eat but didn't buy it.
"I'm fine, thank you for your concern." Fang Ruo smiled politely at him, the smile was very standard, but it made people feel full of indifference and distance.
"You, do you hate me?" Chen Zifan lowered his head and looked at her in front of him, feeling astringent in his heart, as uncomfortable as eating a bitter gall, the popsicle in his hand was pinched tightly, and the plastic packaging bag on the surface was rubbed and rattled.
"I don't hate you, but you don't have to be like this, it's just for me, you don't have to be so good." Fang Ruo also felt a little helpless, she didn't know how to reply to him, she was not a person who liked to say cruel words, earlier she thought that such rejection words were very clear and straightforward, but she never thought that he would become more and more enthusiastic after this.
The classmates passing by in the corridor saw the two of them stop here to talk, and their faces were a little serious, as if something was wrong. The classmates were also curious and gossipy to know what they were talking about, their eyes looked at this side one after another, Fang Ruo felt a strange look not far away, she felt very embarrassed and embarrassed, and her face was hot when she lowered her head.
Chen Zifan said in a complicated mood: "Don't be burdened, I'm good to you, I can't help but want to be good to you, if you don't like it, I can secretly, just like before, can you understand, my mind?" ”
As he spoke, he felt aggrieved, and his voice inadvertently rose a little.
Fang Ruo looked up at his eyes, which were full of the young man's wanton and unconcealable intentions, urgent and anxious.
She didn't know what to say for a while, and she just wanted to leave first, so she stepped forward with her right foot and prepared to walk around him towards the classroom.
Seeing this, he took a step to the left, blocking her way.
Fang Ruo reluctantly wanted to go around to the left, but he moved another step to the right, and for a while she was blocked to death.
The two of them confronted each other, and the classmates who passed by couldn't help but chuckle twice when they saw their slightly ambiguous behavior, and their eyes were full of banter.
Fang Ruo felt bad in her heart, her face was red and she just wanted to leave quickly, she said in a begging tone: "Let me go, I... I'm going back to my homework. ”
Chen Zifan looked at her red cheeks at the moment, her eyes were pure and clear, and her delicate voice was like a weak animal calling for help, he suddenly felt a softness in his heart, and the irritability that had surged up inexplicably just now disappeared in an instant.
He rubbed the hair on the top of his head carelessly, the fluffy hair was piled up in a natural arc, and after realizing his gaffe just now, he felt both sorry and regretful in his heart, "I'm sorry, don't be afraid, I just couldn't hold back, you know, I like you." ”
His gaze returned to his usual cautious tentativeness, gentle and lingering.
After Fang Ruo heard his loud confession at this moment, she felt that she was so ashamed that she couldn't breathe anymore, and a warm current went down from her ears, neck, and back to her heels, and she felt that her whole body was hot.
She didn't dare to look up at him at all, and after running away from him in a hurry, she felt her legs go weak as she sat in her seat.
Liang Qingqing looked at Fang Ruo's flushed face, looking uncomfortable, it just so happened that she also passed by them just now, so she also guessed seven or eight points in her heart, after Fang Ruo calmed down, during the break after the self-study class, she approached Fang Ruo with a smile and whispered, "He likes you, doesn't he?" ”
Fang Ruo looked at her with a look of surprise and shyness, and hurriedly explained, "No, there is no such thing. ”
But this sentence also seemed so eager to cover up, Liang Qingqing laughed twice, winked at her and said, "It's okay, I won't tell others, help you keep it secret." ”
Fang Ruo saw her patting her chest confidently, looking full of righteousness, and felt even more helpless.
In the days that followed, on various occasions at school, Fang Ruo always subconsciously reduced the opportunity to have direct contact with Chen Zifan. Sometimes when I saw him from afar on the road, I hurriedly walked to another way.
But sometimes there is only one way, and when she can't avoid meeting him, she is also flustered, and she passes by him quickly, for fear that he will stop her again and say those heart-pounding words.
Fortunately, since then, Chen Zifan has reduced the number of times he took the initiative to find Fang Ruo, and when they met, he only nodded his head, but he did not stop all his expressions.
Sometimes the candy that suddenly appeared on her table, the message he received on QQ to remind her to keep warm when she cooled down, and then sometimes the two met in the stairwell, and when there was no one around, he was also messing around in front of her like last time, Fang Ruo walked briskly and inadvertently bumped into his strong chest, covering his head and making an "ouch" sound, but he laughed out loud with satisfaction like a child's prank.
So much so that later, when Fang Ruo saw him standing in front of him, he stopped and let him go first, lest he want to play this boring game again, seeing Fang Ruo politely stop and wait for him to go first, he was very disappointed in his heart, because he liked to see Fang Ruo shyly and quickly run away in front of him.
The ponytail swaying slowly behind her back when she runs, her thin and weak body, and her slender waist looming under the wide school uniform are all as beautiful as a painting.
When she ran the blackboard newspaper, it was the most fatal, Fang Ruo felt so flustered that she didn't know where to put her hands, although when she thought about these things before she went to bed alone, she would always not understand why she was avoiding him, and she would be so afraid to see him.
She plucked up the courage to plan that the next time she met him, she would have to ignore him with her head held high, but every time she faced him, she was always inexplicably flustered, just wanting to run away as soon as possible, and every time she was annoyed afterwards.
When he was doing the blackboard newspaper, he would watch her write big characters next to her, standing quietly beside her, not knowing what he was thinking, Fang Ruo felt that the air was so quiet that in addition to the sound of his own heartbeat, it was the rustle of chalk rubbing on the blackboard in his hand.
Once he handed her the paper with the engravings, and she reached out to take it, but as soon as he grasped her outstretched right hand, he touched the wrinkles on the back of her hand with some distress and said, "Does your hand have a scar?" Not good yet. ”
After Fang Ruo hesitated for two seconds, he quickly withdrew his hand in shame, staring back at the inky black blackboard in front of him, avoiding his gaze, but his mood seemed to be about to break through the window.
Chen Zifan was accustomed to her shyness, he lowered his head and smiled, and jokingly stepped forward to stuff the drawing paper into her hand, turned around and walked away, and what he couldn't forget was her red ears.
Although Fang Ruo always resisted him, avoided him, and did not accept his kindness, he did not feel sad, every time he saw her blushing face, saw her panicked expression, and saw that she did not dare to look directly at his timid appearance, he only felt excited and excited in his heart, imagining that she would only behave like this in front of him, and he also felt that he was also a special person to her, at least her "love" could only be enjoyed by him.
The stupid and ignorant boy is even a little humble in his thoughts, and the girl he favors is thinking of another sunny boy in his heart.
Xu Zhuoyuan since that day, he is even more focused on learning, he is already smart and studious, originally in junior high school is the grade overlord, after entering high school, there are many excellent classmates in the class, in the first few exams, although he is also the top few in the grade, but every time because of a few points of difference and the first place throne missed, either second or third.
In the ranking of the top few grades in the grade, one or two points apart is a ranking, Xu Zhuoyuan saw the fierce competition of the group of heroes, and he was even more devoted to learning, just to return to that proud seat.
Sometimes he was so involved in his studies that he didn't even play his favorite basketball, just to solve the weird and obscure exercises.
The learning atmosphere in their class is strong, most of the outstanding students are proud, confident and hard-working, the teacher's office is surrounded by students with problem purposes, everyone is fighting for me, and no one is willing to give in.
The summer rainy season in the small town is very long, and the rainstorm is always sudden, Fang Ruo looked at the weather forecast the night before and said that it was a sunny day, and when she stepped out in the morning, the weather was very sunny, so she was very confident that she did not bring an umbrella.
But in the afternoon, the bright sun had fled, and the sky began to darken, and the wind was strong, and by the time I got to the last self-study class, it was as dark as late at night.
Fang Ruo begged the sky not to rain, ten minutes before the class bell rang, the pouring rain did not have any emotion, many classmates went to the office to call, let their parents come to send an umbrella to take home, Fang Ruo sighed helplessly, she knew that her parents would not come if she called, it was better to think about how she would go back.
