Chapter 24 Sports Day (2)
Walking towards the class headquarters, I saw a man bowing his head and writing something from afar. Take a closer look, isn't this the Lin Haiyuan I think about day and night? I didn't see him everywhere just now, but now I saw him directly at the base camp.
I walked up to see a large pile of manuscripts scattered around the two tables in the base camp. I flipped through it, and it was basically mine. Hey? Why is it so messy?
Lin Haiyuan raised his head and saw that I was back, so he said to me, "Yi Yinfei, look at this." As he spoke, he handed over the manuscript he was writing.
I took one look and didn't see anything wrong, so I asked him, "What's wrong?" β
"Take a closer look, is it your 'handwriting'?"
I looked at it, and it looked like I had copied it.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"Look here, it's all your manuscript. A bunch of people just came here, and they're all copying your manuscript. He gestured to the messy tabletop.
Oh, I see. In order to make myself happy, I copied eighteen radio scripts in advance and contributed to the class, which is really wonderful.
Lin Haiyuan copied the radio script and left, I couldn't follow others, so I had to find something to do on my own.
The next afternoon, when I happened to see Lin Haiyuan, he was holding an orange in his hand. He looked very happy and said to me, "Yi Yinfei, you see I have oranges to eat." It was given to me by someone else. "I wondered in my heart, isn't it just an orange? Why is he so happy? But I didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
When I saw Lan Yixiao, I suddenly remembered this incident and asked casually-
"Lan Yixiao, I heard that someone gave Lin Haiyuan an orange?"
"yes, he's been so happy that he's been nagging several times." As soon as Lan Yixiao heard me ask, he said with a little disdain.
"Why is he so happy?"
"How do I know him?"
"Who gave it to him?"
"It looks like a girl gave it to him."
"Girls? Who? "I suddenly got nervous.
"I don't know."
The rest of the afternoon was restless.
The orange was given by a girl. Lin Haiyuan looked so happy to receive that orange, what does this mean? Does he like that girl? It is very likely, otherwise how can an orange be worthy of his joy to say it to others, and repeat it several times?
I started to get scared. The person you like likes is in love with someone else, which is undoubtedly like a bolt from the blue. Even if the person you like doesn't like you, if you don't like someone else, you can at least feel a little comfort: there is hope. If the person you like already likes someone else, it will really break your heart.
However, based on this news alone, it is not certain that Lin Haiyuan likes the girl who gave him oranges. I need some additional information to get a rough idea of what is going on.
At this time, I couldn't help but feel sad. I know too little about Lin Haiyuan's past. I don't know which girls he knew in the past, and which of them had a good relationship with him. I don't even know if he has a favorite. It's so sad for me. God, if I like him, why didn't I meet him sooner? If I had met him earlier, maybe I wouldn't have had to worry about whether he had a crush here now.
But grief is useless, the priority is to find out whether he likes the girl who gave the orange or not.
But who will give the oranges? It can't be in our class, right? No, probably not, there shouldn't be any girl in our class who has a good relationship with him. As for the secretary of the Youth League, she and Lin Haiyuan are happy enemies, and they won't give Lin Haiyuan any gifts if they have nothing to do. Besides, if it was really sent by the League secretary, he should have said his name directly when I met Lin Haiyuan, instead of saying that "someone else" sent him.
It should have been sent by a girl from another class. Who is it? I can't figure it out on my own. I walked towards the classroom in a daze.
I did my homework in the classroom for a while, and it was almost five o'clock. There were a few scattered people in the classroom discussing today's game, and I didn't want to listen to them, so I just sat alone and pondered.
At this time, Lin Haiyuan also came to the classroom, he walked to the podium, bent down to look for something under the podium.
I took the opportunity to talk to him: "Lin Haiyuan, do you have any other competitions in our class?" β
He said, "I don't know, do you want to go and see it?" β
I was overjoyed: "Okay, let's go together!" β
So we walked together to the sports field.
On the way, I pretended to gossip and laughed, and tested him in a mocking tone: "I heard that a girl gave you a little gift, which made you very happy?" β
When he heard this, he laughed slightly embarrassedly and quickly explained: "It's not what you think. β
I rejoiced: I took the bait. He said, "How do you know what I'm thinking?" β
"Well, that's actually the case." Seeing that he was about to be misunderstood, he explained: "That person is also from our school in junior high school, and she works in the cafeteria, and I used to see her when I ate in the cafeteria. This time we just met by chance, and then she gave me an orange. β
"Do you know her well?"
"It's not very familiar, it's just a hello when we meet."
"You just said ...... Work-study? β
"Yes, her family is not very good, so she will help people in the cafeteria after school."
"Oh, I see. How much is the salary? β
"I don't know."
Looking at his frank and honest way of explaining things clearly, I think things should be as he said. And he and that girl should only have a few faces, and it won't be what I was worried about at the beginning.
Whew, that's fine. The stone in my heart was finally let go. Lin Haiyuan shouldn't have anyone he likes now, and I can continue to watch over him as before.
We came to the base camp and listened to the students there say that our class had finished this afternoon's competition. The time to sign out was approaching, and we chatted in the base camp.
Somehow, we talked about my desire to change majors. I was reprimanded by Director Tang that day, which made me feel very ashamed, so I didn't want others to know the details of this incident at that time. But now it's different. Now that I'm in love with Lin Haiyuan, I want to be able to share everything I have with him, so I don't shy away from talking to him about that day.
"Do you remember when I wanted to switch to liberal arts?" I say.
"yes, yes."
"Actually, that day, Director Tang educated me well, I really admire him, so he can say." I say.
"What did he say?"
I began to recall this shameful past: "He was so fierce at that time, and he scared me a lot when he came up. He said at the beginning that it was impossible for me to change majors, and even Class C would not want me. Then he began to analyze the pros and cons for me, saying something such as the number of arts and sciences majors is three to seven, the scope of science work is wide, and what else is more competitive in liberal arts, the comprehensive questions are not easy to do, and the examination has too much impact on the grades, and it is easy to make mistakes in the college entrance examination, in short, it is to compare the advantages of studying science with the disadvantages of studying liberal arts. He also gave a lot of examples that he knew, and talked about a lot of them, so that I didn't take a whole English class. β
"I guessed what he said." Lin Haiyuan said.
"Alas, in the end, it still didn't turn around, and now the grades have dropped again, it's really ...... Alas. Thinking of this, it is really difficult to avoid emotion.
"No, I think you're pretty good." Lin Haiyuan said. But I think he said it out of sheer politeness. If you want to say amazing, who is better than him in our grade.
"Why, you don't have to comfort me. Actually, don't look at me like I am now, I used to be really good. Speaking of power, I remembered my "glorious past": "My score in the high school entrance examination is the fifth in the county." β
"Wow, that's amazing! Much better than me! This sentence is probably a sincere compliment.
Alas, it's been a long time since I've been praised like this, and I can't help but continue to talk about it.
"Actually, when I was in elementary school, my grades were not very outstanding, and my grades in our school's junior high school were not very good. However, in the first monthly exam of the first year of junior high school, I got the seventh in my grade. And then I've been pretty good. When I was in junior high school, I was especially good at politics and history, and I got close to a perfect score on every exam. Speaking of which, I was very fond of history at that time, and when I was in the first and second years of junior high school, I got a perfect score on every history exam. I was a protΓ©gΓ© of our history teacher. "Anyway, I have a glorious past.
"Ah, is the history teacher in your class Teacher Wei?" He asked.
"yes."
"Mr. Wei has been teaching for our class for a while, and every time he finishes the exam, he will proudly say to us: 'This time our class has a full score', it turns out that that person is you!"
"Really? That's what he said. β
When I think of the events of that year, my heart is really mixed. There is not only the pride of the proud achievements of oneself, but also the joy of recalling the good past, of course, more than that, compared with the regret, unwillingness and sadness of today. I think that at the beginning, I was the favorite of teachers in almost all subjects, and although my grades are still good, I am much more unknown than back then, which is not a pity.
After listening to my past, Lin Haiyuan also talked about his past-
"When I first started junior high school, my grades were very poor."
"Poor?" I only heard that his grades were not very good at the beginning, but I didn't expect him to evaluate himself like this.
"Yes. At first, I didn't find a suitable method, so I couldn't keep up, and I was at the bottom of the class a few times. He said again.
In fact, the junior high school of our school is the key class of our county, and if you can go to the key class, even if you count down, it will not be really bad.
"And then you found a way?" I asked symbolically.
"yes, then I found a way, and the grades started to go uphill." He said with a look of relief.
"And what good do you have to do it?"
"My experience is to brush up on more questions. Now I often find some real college entrance examination questions to do, and the questions in them are very level, and some of the questions are very pitiful. When you do it yourself, you will be cheated a few times, and you will not be fooled again when you take the exam. β
"Oooh! I see. β
We chatted and chatted until half past five, and the crowd on the playground had long since dispersed. At the end of the conversation, we were silent for a short while.
"The sun is shining in the fairy clouds, and the autumn sky is high and the sky is deep". The sky was high and the clouds were light, and I seemed to hear the sound of the wind blowing through the soft grass, and the wind seemed to blow on my heart, which was very comfortable.
He stood up and said, "Alright, it's time for me to go back to my dorm, goodbye." β
He ran away.
I watched his back and watched him go.
It was a wonderful afternoon.
