Chapter 8: The Truth
The sky is getting brighter and brighter early, the sky has overflowed with golden soft light at about six o'clock in the morning, a few birds are chatting vigorously among the green leaves full of young buds, and occasionally there is a crisp sound like a clear spring, like a child's "giggle" laughter, and like the crisp sound of the collision of jade rings.
Chu Qiuyu stepped into Liao Liao's class, and saw a box of biscuits on the table at a glance, she was warm and a little surprised in her heart, and looked at Li Mi who was sitting on the seat reading a book, without words, she put down her schoolbag and ate biscuits while flipping through the textbook.
She has rarely gone to the playground these days, it is now the middle of May, and the final exam will be held in another month, and next year's sophomore liberal arts and sciences sub-subjects, this exam is very important, these days Chu Qiuyu can be said to be fighting in the rain of guns, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, it is studying, and even the playground that is relaxed on weekdays has become a problem-solving base for her and Li Mi.
Even sometimes when she sleeps at night, she dreams of science formulas, liberal arts words, and tutors Tong Miaoke from time to time in evening self-study, so there is no extra time to think deeply and ponder the relationship between her and Lin Haoyu.
In the midst of tension, the day flew by in a hurry. In the evening, there were gradually more people on the playground, the wind was lighter, but the weeping willow was more obvious, Chu Qiuyu was talking to Tong Miaoke about chemistry problems in the noisy teaching building, and he didn't know that the conversation between the two on the playground.
"You put the cookies this morning?" Li Mi asked casually with his hands in his trouser pockets, and Lin Haoyu also put his hands in his trouser pockets and nodded.
Seeing Lin Haoyu nodding, Li Mi put his hands together in front of him and said, "You're serious, right?" Lin Haoyu stopped and looked up and asked, "Aren't you the same, a month has passed, haven't you said it yet?" "
A trace of panic flashed in Li Mi's eyes, and said, "I'll tell her, but I haven't thought about it yet, I haven't thought about it......" Li Mi lost his look when he plugged his eyes.
"I just didn't think about what kind of reason to forgive her." Lin Haoyu continued, Li Mi couldn't help but sigh when he heard Lin Haoyu say this, and the two started a careless walk again.
Lin Haoyu stood under the stage and looked up and said, "We are playing with fire after all." Li Mi was silent, he just wanted to quickly come up with a reason to explain to Chu Qiuyu at the moment, but he heard Lin Haoyu say, "Let's make another bet." ”
Li Mi suddenly raised his head and looked at Lin Haoyu in confusion and asked, "What are you betting on?" Lin Haoyu smiled and said: "Let's bet on who can get her forgiveness before the holiday, and the bet is her forgiveness...... But you have to tell her first to be fair. "
Li Mi agreed, even though they both knew it was another childish gamble.
The more tense the time, the faster it flowed, and it came to Thursday night in a blink of an eye, Chu Qiuyu was originally explaining the question to Tong Miaoke, but was called to the playground by Li Mi, since he came to the playground, it was quiet and quiet.
Li Mi looked at the corners of Chu Qiuyu's slightly raised mouth and said, "I, I have something to tell you." Chu Qiuyu looked at him suspiciously, but there was still a smile on the corner of his mouth. Li Mi stood for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry, please, please forgive me." Chu Qiuyu frowned slightly, and asked puzzledly: "What, I'm sorry?" ”
Li Mi turned his head and said, "I shouldn't lie to you, in fact, it wasn't out of my sincerity to confess to you in front of the whole class. Chu Qiuyu was stunned when she heard this, but she didn't mean too much sadness in her heart, she also understood why she agreed to him in the first place, she didn't want to listen to it more, and was about to say what she thought in her heart, telling him that she could be friends in the future.
But before she could say anything, she heard Li Mi say: "Do you know why Lin Haoyu proposed to break up after being with you for a month?" Hearing this, she put down her plan just now, and thought to herself: "Could it be that what does this have to do with him?" He stood there and listened carefully to Li Mi talking about the past.
It turned out that when the first year of high school started, Chu Qiuyu became the object of discussion in the class, she looked beautiful and didn't talk much, and she was not the same as other girls in the class, many boys felt that she was fake and tall, of course, Lin Haoyu was no exception, but he just felt that Chu Qiuyu was like a weirdo, different from other girls.
So that day, it happened to be the evening of autumn, the red glow had not faded and the heat had not yet dissipated, occasionally a wisp of autumn wind blew, and a few dead leaves were sent, Lin Haoyu and Li Mi were standing at the door of the store drinking drinks, and happened to see Chu Qiuyu walking towards the school gate, Lin Haoyu looked at it carefully, and then took a big sip of drink and said: "Hey, how do you think of her, squad leader?" ”
Li Mi screwed the bottle cap and glanced at Lin Haoyu and asked, "What's how?" Lin Haoyu squinted at Li Mi and said with a smile: "Usually she is always quiet and quiet, and she doesn't talk much, it's not the same as other girls, and I don't know if it's better than the same, it's not as good as ......, play?" Li Mi held the drink bottle and didn't know what he was looking at, hearing Lin Haoyu say this, he raised his head suspiciously and asked, "Play?" ”
Lin Haoyu took the last sip of the drink, and said while tightening the bottle cap: "Yes, it's just fun." ”
But seeing Li Mi's confused face, he threw the empty bottle in his hand into the trash can not far away with a wicked smile and said: "In this way, let's make a bet, let's see who can catch her, and then dump her a month later, how about it, dare you?" After speaking, he put his arm around Li Mi's shoulder, with a "see if you dare" expression.
Seeing him so provocative, Li Mi hooked the corners of his mouth and said, "Okay, what are you betting on?" Lin Haoyu smiled, patted Li Mi lightly on the shoulder, then put his hand in his pants pocket and said, "If anyone loses, invite whoever drinks for three years, how about it?" Li Mi smiled and said, "Okay, this is good." Then the two of them went into the school shoulder to shoulder.
The confession on that snowy night was originally designed by Lin Haoyu, but to his surprise, it didn't work, he should have admitted defeat, but because of the hypocrisy in his heart and the ridiculous desire to win, he wanted to chase Chu Qiuyu even more, and then enjoy the pleasure of dumping her, this kind of perverted thought, even he himself was a little disgusted.
However, although people's hearts are hypocritical, he still planned, and it was not until he caught up with Chu Qiuyu that he found out that Chu Qiuyu was a very good girl, and she had her own ideas and dreams.
But when he knew why she liked to go to the playground, he was afraid, he was afraid, he was afraid, and her eyes would see through him in his crankiness.
"I, these, I'm sorry, I only told you today......" Li Mi lowered his head and said incoherently, Chu Qiuyu was shocked in his heart, and said with a wry smile: "So, you are telling me this today just to tell me that I am a big fool, a big fool who has been deceived twice by the two of you with a joke, right?" ”
Li Mi was speechless for a while, and only after a long time did he squeak: "No, you listen to my explanation, I seriously want you to forgive me now, otherwise I will ......" He was a little speechless in a hurry.
Chu Qiuyu looked at him with an anxious and helpless face, and then continued: "Otherwise, otherwise you should have said these words to me as early as the beginning of May, right?" I'm telling you, I'm not playing anymore! After saying that, he turned around and left.
Chu Qiuyu was in no mood to study when she sat in her seat, she only understood now, she was extremely depressed, she turned the pen around with her fingers, Tong Miaoke saw Chu Qiuyu absent-mindedly and asked, "What's wrong with you?" Chu Qiuyu shook his head and continued to scan the book aimlessly.
Tong Miao could see that Chu Qiuyu didn't want to say more, so she didn't ask more, she knew Chu Qiuyu's temperament, sooner or later she couldn't help but tell herself, so she turned her head and continued to read her book.
After most of the class, Chu Qiuyu saw Li Mi enter the classroom without raising his head, Lin Haoyu was still unaware of what was happening, and he was still planning a "gamble" that had no result. ”
It was a night of tossing and turning that that night, and it was hard to sleep......
