Chapter 9: Do You Like Me?
Indeed, it is very difficult for everyone to live, on the one hand, they have to bear all kinds of external pressures, and on the other hand, they have to face their own inner confusion.
After the birthday, the next day, Yi Qing would be distracted from time to time, constantly replaying all kinds of things she had been with Xu Yaofeng in her mind, and when she talked to him, she would pay special attention to every word he said and the eyes when he looked at her, it was natural, very sunny, and there was nothing wrong with it at all.
Before contact, Yi Qing felt that he was very cold, and he felt that he was rejecting people, he was expressionless when he talked to him, and when he smiled, he also smiled perfunctory and polite. has been in contact for a long time, and now, she thinks he is very sunny and cheerful, but it has always been like this, the sunny boy who has always been cheerful and free and easy, makes people unable to find out his inner thoughts, which makes Yi Qing very confused.
Trying to understand what he thinks of himself, but forever stopping at heartless conversations and unabashed laughter, to no avail.
So what does she think of Xu Yaofeng?
It feels like on a cloudy and rainy day, if he is around, there will be a feeling that the clouds are open and the blue sky is blowing, and the wind is blowing away, and there is a ray of sunshine coming to him.
She really didn't know how to respond to his jokes, she just wanted to listen quietly, secretly happy in her heart, laugh softly when she was funny, and wouldn't laugh out loud without baggage, Yi Qing's behavior was calm and calm in all aspects, laughing out loud was not her division for a long time, and she didn't want to be as big as she was, heartless.
Is this like? Or does he have this superpower of his own, and everyone will feel this way around him.
Recently, Yi Qing has often deserted in class because of these problems, and she also knows that these are inconsequential things at this stage, and her studies are the top priority that cannot be relaxed, but once these careful thoughts pour into her mind, she can't help but want to think about it and figure it out.
She originally thought that she would be dashing and unfettered by this kind of relationship between men and women, just like she liked Jiang Yichen in junior high school, she simply liked it if she liked it, and she didn't care about what he thought of her, and she wouldn't rack her brains to think about what she thought of him.
But this time, she not only wanted to know what Xu Yaofeng thought of her, but also wanted to find out what she felt in her heart, from how she realized how to feel different from others for him, she wanted to know.
She hopes that this is a logical line of thought, and for her, it is now full of showing the truth of a science student.
In the last week before the first monthly exam in the second semester of the second semester of high school, my dear class teacher finally remembered that the class committee of the new class had not yet been selected, and took advantage of a class meeting to carry out the class committee election activity.
At the beginning of the school year, because the original class president was still there, no one else was appointed, but he was still allowed to continue to serve as the class president for the time being, and this time the class president had to be re-elected.
"Those who are interested in applying for various class committees will come to me to report on the Olympics." The class teacher said to the class at the podium table.
When voting, Yi Qing, who was busy writing a book, decided to tick any one of the ballots, and prepared to write without even looking at the name.
At this time, Huang Zihan, who was at the same table, stopped him: "Yi Qing, can you vote for Zhang Xu?" ”
is still high, with a very coercive and oppressive tone, so that people dare not refuse, as if she refuses, she will be completely skinned, I have to say that Huang Zihan really gave Yi Qing the feeling of a social boss.
Zhang Xu, it is the white and pure young man who attracted Huang Zihan to the chemistry class, who is a little handsome, and his fans are all over the school.
Yi Qing doesn't care, who the class committee member is has nothing to do with her, the only thing that has anything to do with it is the chemistry class representative, when Yi Qing is destroyed by chemistry questions and burns his brain, he will come to Yi Qing's side, collect homework like a demon, or register his name.
But the class representatives are all set by the teacher, and they are set a week after the start of school, and the chemistry class representative is a very talkative little boy, who is Yi Qing's tablemate at the next table.
So Yi Qing happily agreed to Huang Zihan and prepared to tick behind Zhang Xu's name.
happened to be looking for Zhang Xu's name on the list, and he saw Xu Yaofeng's name, and he also wanted to be the squad leader? Let's have enough to eat.
Yi Qing turned to look at him, and it happened that he was also looking this way, and when he saw Yi Qing, he immediately signaled Yi Qing with his eyes and asked her to vote for him.
But she has already elected Zhang Xu, it doesn't matter, it shouldn't be her vote.
When the whole class was talking about who to choose, Yi Qing was immersed in brushing up on chemistry questions, she took chemistry so seriously, but chemistry still didn't have any feelings for her, the time had not come, or unilateral liking, it was really useless, at least it couldn't be eaten.
"Okay, now please get up and collect the ballots." The head teacher clasped his hands together and looked impatient.
Lu Fan, the leader of the back row, came to Yi Qing's side to collect her ballots, glanced at the ballots, and quickly looked at Yi Qing with a look of disbelief, but Yi Qing lowered his head and didn't find it.
In the end, Zhang Xu took the position of squad leader with 21 votes, the original squad leader had 15 votes, and Xu Yaofeng only had 9 votes.
It seems that Xu Yaofeng can't blame Yi Qing for not being elected, it's normal that he wasn't elected, and I've never heard that he wants to be the squad leader.
It's just that Yi Qing looked at the three words Xu Yaofeng on the blackboard, and he was miserable and miserable, and he couldn't help but feel bad in his heart.
When the results came out, I saw Huang Zihan quickly turn to look at Zhang Xu, and after turning around, Yi Qing inadvertently saw the joy and arrogance that couldn't be concealed at the corner of her mouth.
Yi Qing also secretly turned to look at Xu Yaofeng, wondering if he would be a little disappointed if he was not elected, in fact, Yi Qing secretly felt in his heart that no, how could Xu Yaofeng, a person who dislikes a lot of things, want to be the squad leader, it is more likely that Lu Fan helped him report.
As a result, after turning around, he saw Xu Yaofeng stunned, looking at himself expressionlessly, and after a while, he coldly lowered his head and lined Yi Qing out of his field of vision, leaving Yi Qing in place without knowing why.
Isn't it, do you blame me for not being chosen? It shouldn't be, after all, my vote doesn't matter, and he doesn't know that I didn't choose him, he should have slept and didn't wake up.
Besides, who is Yi Qing, there is no need for him to put a smile on her face every time, Yi Qing thinks about it, and it is even worse in her heart, chemistry questions are floating in front of her eyes, but she just can't get into her mind.
The class meeting was the last one in the afternoon, because there were only three classes in the afternoon, and after the class meeting, the students left the classroom one after another, went back to the dormitory, played ball, and continued to do their homework in the classroom.
As soon as the bell rang for class, Huang Zihan ran to the back row to find Zhang Xu in high spirits.
"Congratulations, I voted for you!" Then Zhang Xu was dragged out of the classroom by her.
When he arrived at the door, Huang Zihan patronized Zhang Xu and didn't notice Xu Yaofeng, who was walking behind and was in a hurry to play, and accidentally stepped on him.
I saw that Huang Zihan's eyes never left Zhang Xu for a moment, but he only knew that he had stepped on someone, and he said "I'm sorry" in a dragging manner, and then pulled Zhang Xu away.
Xu Yaofeng was speechless, glanced at Huang Zihan with disdain, and then looked at Zhang Xu with great displeasure.
Yi Qing sat in the classroom completely unaware of the whole process, and she planned to stay in the classroom until the cafeteria was served.
The sun was shining, there were a few cirrus clouds floating in the sky, and the wind was beautiful.
Because the playground is next to the sophomore teaching building, Yi Qing can soon hear the sound of playing ball and laughing on the playground in the classroom.
Yi Qing's extracurricular life is really single and boring, when other people's extracurricular activities are inactive, even if she doesn't study, she just wants to stay in the classroom alone, whether it's contemplation or emptying herself, it's all alone.
In the end, the people in the classroom left one by one, leaving her alone, and the whole classroom was so quiet that only the sound of the playground outside and the sound of Yi Qing flipping through the book could be heard.
Yi Qing finally couldn't sit still anymore and was about to walk to the corridor to take a look at the crowd playing on the playground.
Sure enough, the playground was very lively, some boys were playing basketball, several girls would gather together to walk around the track, relaxing, and some people were sitting on the grass basking in the sun, during which a man and a woman could be seen walking together, close to each other, walking slowly.
"Yi Qing!"
Yi Qing turned around in response, Zhang Yijing was walking towards her, "The meal is here, let's go eat together!" ”
"I want to go to the playground for a walk." After Yi Qing finished speaking, she looked at the playground again, because she saw Xu Yaofeng on the playground.
"You're taking the wrong medicine, why do you want to go when there are so many people?" After Zhang Yijing finished speaking, she pulled Yi Qing downstairs, "Let's go, I'm so hungry!" ”
A few minutes later, Yi Qing was pulled to the cafeteria by Zhang Yijing.
At this time, there were not too many people in the canteen, and the canteen aunts who were cooking could also chat leisurely, Yi Qing and Zhang Yijing sat down by the window of the canteen after finishing the meal.
"How about young lady, have you thought it through?" Zhang Yijing's mouth was stuffed with something, and she said a word.
"What?" Yi Qing looked at this Zhang Yijing, and was afraid that what was in her mouth would spray into her own food.
"It's you and Xu Yaofeng?" After saying that, he couldn't suppress his excitement, so he really touched the thing on Yi Qing's scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Yi Qing stared at her with wide eyes, speechless, while feeling sorry for her scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Suddenly, a plate with fish and meat was placed next to Zhang Yijing's plate, Yi Qing was surprised and hurriedly looked up to see who it was.
Then, I saw Lu Fan sitting next to Zhang Yijing unhurriedly, diagonally opposite Yi Qing, "Why are you staring at your tomatoes with disgust, don't you like it?" Don't like to give it to me. ”
After speaking, he picked up the chopsticks and was about to clip them, but was stopped by Zhang Yijing, who was also surprised on the side, "Hey, hey, hey, who are you, how can you get started as soon as you come up!" ”
"Zhang Yijing, you are really fierce." After Lu Fan finished speaking, he timidly lowered his head to eat.
Yi Qing's mind was now full of the cold expression that Xu Yaofeng threw at her today, so much so that when she saw him at the same table now, she immediately thought of him.
Suddenly, Lu Fan, who was eating on the side, looked up at Yi Qing and smiled ill-willedly, "Yi Qing!" Are you interested in Zhang Xu? ”
Yi Qing was inexplicable when she heard it, and even Zhang Yijing, who was eating very attentively while eating, was stunned.
Yi Qing blinked, and then heard Zhang Yijing laugh stupidly, "Yi Qing, you are such a cow, rob a man with Sister Huang." ”
Yi Qing looked at Zhang Yijing with a panicked face, afraid that she would spray all the rice in her mouth on her face if she didn't hold back.
"Lu Fan, what are you talking nonsense?"
Lu Fan smiled wittily, "I saw it today, you voted for Zhang Xu, Xu Yaofeng specially asked you to vote for him, but you didn't vote." ”
The moment Yi Qing heard this, she was inexplicably happy, could it be that Xu Yaofeng minded this?
Then explained unhurriedly: "No, Huang Zihan asked me to vote for Zhang Xu first." ”
"What ticket, what ticket??" Zhang Yijing stopped laughing and asked.
Lu Fan turned to Zhang Yijing first and said, "I'll tell you later." ”
After speaking, he turned his head and pretended to say: "Then you'd better explain to Xu Yaofeng, he is very angry and disappointed in you." After speaking, he didn't forget to sigh deeply.
Yi Qing was a little happy when she heard this, but she still said very calmly, "What is there to explain, I voted for him, he can't be the squad leader" After speaking, he looked at Lu Fan, Yi Qing felt that he would tell Xu Yaofeng that she voted for Zhang Xu, and should also tell Xu Yaofeng that Huang Zihan asked her to vote.
"That's not what he cares about", the other party suppressed his excitement and sighed again, "Hey, that's a pity." ”
"Why does he want to be a squad leader so much, isn't it his style?" Yi Qing asked.
Lu Fan smiled meaningfully and shook his head.
When I returned to the classroom after eating, I was greeted by a teenager with a basketball, perhaps a little tired after playing, panting slightly, and beads of sweat caught in the tips of his hair.
Xu Yaofeng saw Yi Qing, and after looking at each other, he immediately lowered his head and held his breath, bypassed Yi Qing, walked into the small black house, and put the basketball in.
Yi Qingquan didn't see it, and when she returned to her seat, she couldn't help but be a little irritable.
I hate this feeling of figuring out other people's thoughts, I can't believe it, but I want to be secretly happy, in the end, it's not embarrassing if it's just that I'm sentimental, she hates it.
So, she took a long breath and exhaled it slowly, and when it was over, she calmed down and began to study.
The day finally ended in confusion and exhaustion, and the next day, the weather was still sunny and it was the feeling of spring when everything was revived, and all the students did morning exercises on the playground on Friday as usual.
When queuing, Yi Qing saw Xu Yaofeng, and when he walked past her, he deliberately got closer, still smiling very sunny, Yi Qing was about to look up at him, and heard him naturally say "morning".
Yi Qing was speechless, did Lu Fan explain to him? Or did he wake up today? What is this, ignore it when you want to? Now I have to use the sentence "early" to solve the confusion in Yi Qing's heart?
Finally put it down, and he was going to bother her again?
In the end, after casually doing the morning exercises, she decided to walk around the playground alone, because today's sun shines on her body very comfortably and warmly, and because the playground after leaving the field is quieter, and the classroom is relatively noisy. There wasn't much homework, and she wasn't in a hurry to go up and do her homework.
White shoes stepped on the red plastic runway, stepping, stepping, occasionally insects passed by the edge of the shoes to find a hole on the runway, trying to find a hole to get into, but squeezing the head failed to do so.
"Yi Qing!" A hand patted Yi Qing's shoulder from behind.
Yi Qing looked up, the sun shone on his face, this face that appeared in her mind countless times, and now smiled at her innocently, "What's wrong?" ”
"Not much, I'll call you."
Although he didn't look at her with a cold expression now, Yi Qing still decided to explain in person, "Yesterday, Huang Zihan asked me to vote for Zhang Xu before you. ”
After speaking, he saw Xu Yaofeng with an indifferent face: "I know, Lu Fan told me." ”
Sure enough, as Yi Qing expected, Lu Fan, this kid, "So why do you suddenly want to be the squad leader?" ”
Under the sun, the boy looked more handsome, especially when he was serious, "I saw Zhang Xu participating in the candidacy. ”
After a pause, he said: "They all say that Zhang Xu is handsome, and many girls will like him." ”
So what? That's why he wants to be a squad leader? But Yi Qing didn't understand what it meant, and she didn't dare to understand, and she didn't want to understand more.
The two of them had already walked around the playground for three-quarters of a circle, and seeing that they were about to finish, Yi Qing suddenly looked up at Xu Yaofeng very seriously.
"Xu Yaofeng?"
"Huh?"
"Do you like me?"
Yi Qing didn't think much about it, she just didn't want to fall into endless speculation anymore, and she didn't want to go around the bend, that kind of self made her hateful, until now she finally asked what she hadn't said for so many days.
When she hadn't asked this sentence, she wanted to know, but when she asked this sentence, she regretted it, she suddenly didn't want to know the answer, is the answer important?
If Xu Yaofeng answered "yes", would she choose to be with him? She didn't think so, she wasn't sure if she really liked him, and she wasn't ready to have a relationship now, she wouldn't be with him.
Besides, the person who asked this sentence was so vague in his heart, how could he make Xu Yaofeng make an answer that convinced her, Xu Yaofeng may be as confused as Yi Qing.
If he answered "no", how embarrassing the scene would be, Xu Yaofeng would definitely feel that Yi Qing was an extremely narcissistic person, and Yi Qing would definitely find a crack to get into on the spot.
It was she who was too anxious to know the answer and didn't expect the result.
When Xu Yaofeng heard Yi Qing ask this, he froze on the spot and stopped.
The two of them stood facing each other like this, staring at each other with two pairs of clear eyes, unable to hear the hustle and bustle around them, as if there were only the two of them in this world, and time was frozen in this moment.
Xu Yaofeng opened his mouth and closed it again, just looking at Yi Qing quietly, very serious and serious, without a trace of joke in his eyes.
The breeze was light, the sun was still warm, he didn't answer in the end, Yi Qing secretly rejoiced, fortunately he didn't answer.
