Chapter 18: Bloody Youth
Yi Qiu handed the teddy bear in his hand into Ruchu's arms, and said, "This is for you, I wish you a Merry Christmas"
Ruchu looked at the teddy bear in his arms and asked, "Why did you give me this?" ”
Yi Qiu scratched his head, and said a little shyly, "This is Zhao Wen's choice for me, she said that no girl can refuse cute things, that, I came to you today and I have something I want to tell you."
As he looked at the shy Yi Qiu, he already had a premonition of what Yi Qiu might say. Although this is the first time that Ruchu has been confessed in person, the experience of being crushed and the plot of the idol drama hint at what will happen next.
Ruchu didn't know how to face this situation, and his only instinct told him that the most important thing to do now was to run away, and then Ruchu immediately said nervously, "Thank you for the gift, I also wish you a Merry Christmas, I'll go back before I write my homework, see you tomorrow"
After saying that, Ruchu was about to turn around and run away, but Yi Qiu didn't give Ruchu a chance, just as Ruchu was about to turn around, Yi Qiu said "I like you"
When I first heard this, I knew that I couldn't escape, so I could only face the same picture as I expected.
Yi Qiu looked at Ruchu and said, "Ruchu, I like you, since the first time I met in the class, I thought you were a very lively and cheerful girl, at first I just wanted to be good friends and classmates with you, and then after getting along for a long time, I found that I gradually liked you." ”
"Eh" Yi Qiu's words made Ruchu not know how to answer.
Yi Qiu looked at Ruchu's nervous expression, and then said, "I found out that I fell in love with you when I was at the New Year's Day party in my freshman year of high school, and that day I saw you standing in the spotlight in a beautiful dress, I only had one thought in my heart, this girl is so beautiful, I want to protect her." At the time, I wondered if my liking for you would be just the beauty of you standing in the spotlight, but then I found that whether you were standing elegantly in the spotlight in a formal dress, or the ordinary way you looked in a school uniform, it attracted me.
Every time I see you sad and I feel bad, I feel happy to see you laugh happily. Every time I see you and Wen Yuan and Lin Xuan together, I will be very jealous, I am very jealous, I am very jealous that the two of them can always be by your side and be so close to you, and at the same time I am also very afraid, I am afraid that the two of them will like you as much as I do, fortunately, whether their liking for you is the same as my liking for you, as long as they don't say it, I have a chance.
I've been silently watching you for two years, and now I want to say what I think to you, otherwise I'm afraid I'll miss you because I'm silent, I came to confess to you today because I don't want my liking for you to be buried only in my heart, I want you to know that I like you, if you think I'm good, then you should consider being my girlfriend, if you don't feel good for me, then it's okay, I'm chasing you, how about it, be my girlfriend, okay? ”
Yi Qiu looked at Ruchu very nervously, and Ruchu was also nervous thinking about how to answer Yi Qiu's question.
Yi Qiu's sincere words really moved Ruchu very much, but Ruchu also clearly knew what she wanted. After thinking about it for a while, I said to Yi Qiu apologetically, "Yi Qiu, thank you for liking me, but I really didn't think about it that much, I just regarded you as a friend, I thought you were the same as me, I never thought you would like me, and now you suddenly tell me this, I don't know how to answer you, but what I want to say is, you better change your favorite, I'm going to take the college entrance examination next year, I just want to study hard now and don't want to fall in love"
Yi Qiu looked at the nervous and almost tearing off the teddy bear's hair, he was very disappointed, but he still pretended to be relaxed and said, "Silly girl, do you want to refuse, can you find a better reason that can convince me and study hard?" Are you going to thunder me? I didn't expect my rival to study hard" Ruchu heard Yi Qiu say this, and said even more nervously, "What I said is true"
Yi Qiu just said that to relieve Ruchu's nervousness, but he didn't expect Ruchu to be even more nervous, Yi Qiu had to say, "Okay, okay, I believe in you, but I'm really going to chase you." Then I'll go back tonight."
Holding up the teddy bear, he nervously asked, "Your teddy bear?" ”
Yi Qiu said, "Although you rejected me, you don't have to return the gift I gave you, even if you are an ordinary classmate, it's normal to give you a gift at Christmas, right?" Also, don't mess with it, the hair is gone."
When I first heard Yi Qiu say this, I could only say "Okay then"
Yi Qiu left, and Ruchu was about to turn around and go home, when suddenly a familiar voice stopped Ruchu.
Lin Xuan walked towards Ruchu, Ruchu looked at Lin Xuan, I don't know if Lin Xuan saw what happened just now, Ruchu was a little embarrassed, I wanted to ask Lin Xuan how long it had been, but I felt that I was a bit of a thief to ask like this, so I changed the way of asking. As before, he quietly hid the teddy bear behind him and asked Lin Xuan, "Why are you here?"
Lin Xuan saw Ruchu's small movements and didn't want to follow Ruchu's meaning and pretend not to see this action, but directly pierced Ruchu's thoughts and said, "Don't hide it, I've seen it all, I've been standing here for a long time, it's just that you've been noticing me."
Listening to Lin Xuan's words, Ruchu's face turned red as soon as he brushed it, and he said nervously, "He just gave me a Christmas gift"
Lin Xuan didn't want to hear such a rough explanation from Ruchu, stared at Ruchu and wanted Ruchu to tell him all the details, and asked Ruchu with a strong vinegar flavor, "Really?" I've heard it all."
When he first heard Lin Xuan say that he heard it all, he felt that he couldn't hide it anymore, but he was not so nervous all of a sudden, like a child who made a mistake and was caught by his parents and said to Lin Xuan, "Since you have heard it, forget it, I have nothing to hide."
Lin Xuan said, "But I still have some questions I want to ask you."
As at the beginning, he said, "You ask"
Lin Xuan asked: "What did he say to you besides giving you gifts?" I want to hear the details."
Ruchu didn't understand what Lin Xuan's starting point was for this question, and asked, "Didn't you hear it all, and why did you ask me?" Or did you just lie to me that you didn't hear anything at all? ”
Lin Xuan was a little weak-hearted, and immediately denied it, "I didn't lie to you, okay, I'll change the question, how do you answer him?" ”
Ruchu is now a little skeptical that Lin Xuan said that he was bluffing himself when he heard it, and asked rhetorically, "Didn't you hear it all?" ”
When Lin Xuan heard Ruchu say this, he could only silently complain about why he didn't come earlier, why he didn't hear anything and wanted to lie to Ruchu that he heard everything. I just wanted to know how Ruchu answered Yi Qiu, I just saw Yi Qiu standing there, and then Ruchu was so nervous when he saw him, plus some of Yi Qiu's usual performance, so I guessed intuitively that Yi Qiu should have come to confess to Ruchu.
But I really don't know how Ruchu answered him, did Ruchu agree? Seeing that Yi Qiu is smiling and leaving, Ru Chu won't agree, right? This question is what Lin Xuan is most concerned about now. Lin Xuan strongly wanted to know the answer, but since he couldn't bluff, Lin Xuan could only change his routine in a different way.
Under Lin Xuan's several rounds of routine offensives, he "confessed" all of them at the beginning.
Lin Xuan, who was so nervous that he had to pretend to be calm, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his mood became very good
Ruchu still didn't understand what Lin Xuan was looking for at this time, so he asked Lin Xuan suspiciously, "Didn't we just meet just now?" What are you looking for me for? ”
Lin Xuan was a little shy, slowly took out a box from the pocket of his clothes and carefully handed it to Ruchu, saying, "For you, Christmas gifts" Ruchu was puzzled again, and asked, "Why did you give me this, didn't we all say that we don't give each other gifts at Christmas?" ”
Lin Xuan said, "But I bought it all, don't you accept it?" ”
Ruchu took the box over, opened the box and saw that a beautiful bracelet was lying quietly in the box. At first glance, I can see that this bracelet is not an ordinary gift, not to mention that the meaning is not ordinary, at least its price is certainly not ordinary.
As he said at the beginning, "This is too expensive for me to accept"
When Lin Xuan heard Ruchu say this, he immediately explained, "This is not too expensive, I bought it because it looked good, and now I have bought it, and the only two girls around me who have a good time playing are you and Hu Zheng, if I give it to Hu Zheng, Wenyuan will kill me." So, if you don't take it, it won't have a place to go, and this is the first time I've given a gift to a girl, so it's okay if you don't accept it."
Although Lin Xuan said so, Ruchu still felt that it was not appropriate to accept this gift. Lin Xuan looked at Ruchu and hesitated, and immediately added, "If you don't accept it, then I can't guarantee that what I saw tonight won't be known to the fourth person." ”
Lin Xuan's words made Ruchu very crazy, Ruchu was very afraid that others would know about Yi Qiu's confession to himself, and if others knew about it, there would be a lot of gossip and the like. Ruchu didn't want to become the object of gossip, so Ruchu said helplessly, "Lin Xuan, how can you do this?" In the eyes of others, you are a cold scholar, and your face is always like a raw person, why are you a scoundrel in me? If those little fan girls of yours knew, they would definitely be surprised, it turns out that you are such Lin Xuan"
Lin Xuan continued to say scoundrelly, "Then you also said it, in the eyes of others, you are not someone else, I don't have to maintain my cold image in front of you."
Ruchu didn't want to be killed by Lin Xuan like this, and continued to struggle fearlessly, "Aren't you afraid that I will complain to Grandma Lin that you are bullying me?" ”
Lin Xuan knew Ruchu very well, and knew where Ruchu's weakness was, Lin Xuan looked confident, "I bet you won't do this, do you want your entire class to know that you were confessed by Yi Qiu?" ”
When I heard Lin Xuan say this, I had to give up resisting Lin Xuan, and said, "Okay, it's okay for me to take it, but if there is a fourth person who knows about tonight, I will break off my friendship with you."
Lin Xuan was in a good mood and said with satisfaction, "I promise no"
As early as the beginning, he said, "Thank you for the gift, and I wish you a Merry Christmas"
Lin Xuan said, "Then I'll help you bring it."
Ruchu stretched out his left hand, Lin Xuan took the bracelet and carefully helped Ruchu put it on his left wrist. Because it was winter, Lin Xuan's hands were very cold, and when Lin Xuan's cold fingertips touched Ruchu's wrist as if with electricity, Ruchu felt crispy and numb, and this strange touch made Ruchu beat faster, and his face gradually turned red.
Lin Xuan lowered his head and looked focused on helping Ruchu wear the bracelet, and the whole process of helping Ruchu wear the bracelet fell in Ruchu's eyes, and Ruchu found that Lin Xuan seemed to have grown a lot taller. Ruchu looked at Lin Xuan and thought that if the person he had a crush on was him, would the result be better.
At this time, Lin Xuan, who had originally lowered his head, slowly raised his head and said, "Put it on"
Lin Xuan's gaze happened to meet Ruchu's gaze, and the two of them were stunned for a while. Lin Xuan's face gradually turned red, and the atmosphere suddenly became very embarrassing, as he wanted to break this embarrassing atmosphere, he said awkwardly and politely, "The bracelet is so beautiful"
Lin Xuan also cooperated and said, "If you like it, it's fine."
Ruchu blushed and said "I like it very much, thank you"
Lin Xuan pretended to cough and said, "Then it's okay, you can go up, you rest early"
As at the beginning, he said "Well, you are careful on the road"
After saying that, Ruchu turned around and prepared to go upstairs. Lin Xuan suddenly continued: "If there are any more boys who ask you out at night in the future, you can ignore them." They didn't have a good heart, you are a girl at night, it's not safe."
Ruchu was about to say, "Aren't you also a boy?" Besides, what's the danger downstairs in my house" But after thinking about it, Lin Xuan said that this was also for his own good, so he didn't disagree with Lin Xuan again, and obediently agreed, "I know"
Lin Xuan watched Ruchu enter the elevator, and about a minute later, the lights in Ruchu's room also turned on, and then turned around and left.
On the way home
Everything that happened tonight Lin Xuan's mood was like riding a roller coaster, experiencing several ups and downs. But now Lin Xuan is super happy
Originally, after eating, Lin Xuan didn't insist on sending Ruchu home, just because Lin Xuan wanted to go home to get the gift he bought for Ruchu in the afternoon. Lin Xuan, who got the gift when he got home, was nervous all the way, and along the way Lin Xuan kept thinking about how to make Ruchu accept the gift, but as soon as he arrived downstairs at Ruchu's house, he saw what Yi Qiu said to Ruchu again. As early as the teddy bear in his arms, the fool knows what happened.
Lin Xuan was very nervous, he was afraid that Ruchu would agree to Yi Qiu, so he cautiously asked Ruchu, in order to know Ruchu's answer, he even did not hesitate to go to the routine Ruchu, knowing that Lin Xuan was very happy after Ruchu rejected Yi Qiu. Then pluck up the courage to give your own gift. But Ruchu refused, and Ruchu's refusal made Lin Xuan's mood turn from expectation to disappointment
But Lin Xuan still covered himself, pretending to be a despicable threat to Ruchu and let Ruchu accept the gift, and finally helped her put it on with his own hands. Seeing Ruchu's blushing appearance, Lin Xuan's mood became super good again. Lin Xuan thought that if every day was like today, he would have to have a heart attack.
Lin Xuan threatened Ruchu and asked Ruchu to accept the bracelet, which was just lip service. Even if he didn't put away the bracelet at the beginning, Lin Xuan wouldn't tell the night about it. The last thing they want others to know about the three should be Lin Xuan. Think about it, if others know, then the girl he likes will be tied up with another boy all the time to be mentioned by others, how jealous Lin Xuan should be.
As for why Lin Xuan didn't confess to him now, Lin Xuan had his own reasons.
Wen Yuan's side
Wen Yuan and Hu Zheng walked home together. Wen Yuan said, "Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, this has become our sixth Christmas together." Speaking of which, where do you volunteer for next year's report? ”
Hu Zheng said, "Shanghai, didn't I say it before, my target university is S University." Although I know that this school is not easy to get into, I will still try my best. Just say me, what about you? Where do you want to go? ”
Wen Yuan glanced up at the sky, thought for a while and said, "Shanghai C University."
When Hu Zheng heard Wen Yuan say that he was also going to be admitted to Shanghai, his first reaction was for himself, but he was a little skeptical that he would think too much. After struggling for a long time, he finally hesitated and said, "Wenyuan, you have your own life, you can't say it's just for me." You have to think about yourself. I know you want to be with me everywhere, but what do you do? ”
Wen Yuan smiled, looked at Hu Zheng and said, "Alas, how can this be said to be for you?" Is Shanghai C University bad? Every year, how many people can't pass the exam if they want to, and how good and prosperous the city of Shanghai is, it is a stage for every dreamer."
Hu Zheng stared at Wen Yuan, didn't know what to say, hesitated for a while, or gave up what he originally wanted to say in his heart. "If this is what you really think, then I wish you a dream come true, okay, I'm home, be careful on the way back"
Wen Yuan took out a box from his pants pocket, which contained a gift that he had secretly bought in the afternoon. Wen Yuan handed the box to Hu Zheng and said, "This is for you, I wish you a Merry Christmas"
Hu Zheng stared at the box for three or four seconds, reached out and took it, said "thank you", and then turned around and went home
Wen Yuan watched Hu Zheng walk into the courtyard, and then turned around and walked back. Wen Yuan thought about the question Hu Zheng had just asked him, and when he was in elementary school, like any other little boy, he thought that he might be a policeman, a scientist, a doctor, or an astronaut in the future. At that time, Wen Yuan felt that these positions were cool and meaningful, which could uphold justice, serve the country, and serve the people.
Later, since he met Hu Zheng in junior high school, Wenyuan's only goal became to protect Hu Zheng, and Wen Yuan followed Hu Zheng wherever he went, so in order to be able to study in the same high school as Hu Zheng, Wen Yuan did not hesitate to enter the city No. 1 Middle School as a sports student.
Wenyuan's study of sports was hidden from Wen's father and Wen's mother, Wen's father wanted Wenyuan to study related business majors, so that he could better find a job in the future, but Wenyuan came according to his own ideas, and when it came to volunteering, Wenyuan himself didn't know where he wanted to go and what he wanted to do in the future. But Wen Yuan has always told himself that no matter how he chooses, he must put Hu Zheng in the first place. Where you go to school and where you work, these things are not as important as being with Hu Zheng
Wen Yuan put his hands in his trouser pockets, looked up at the starry sky, and smiled
Yesterday's Christmas Eve was important and memorable for many people. Some people choose to confess to their favorite person on this day, some people choose to be with the person they like on this day, and some people choose to break up with their other half on this day. So this morning, the atmosphere in the class was very different from the previous one. There are two students who are very shy to sit together and talk and laugh from time to time, and there are also students who sit there lonely and look at the scenery outside the window but don't know what they are thinking.
Ruchu is also different from the past, in the past, as long as he got out of class, he would definitely talk to Wenyuan, but after the morning self-study this morning, Ruchu sat on the seat unusually and took out the test paper to brush the questions there. As before, there was a signal from all over her body that "I'm busy, please don't disturb me".
The reason why Ruchu did this was because he didn't want Yi Qiu to notice him, after all, Yi Qiu said that to Ruchu, although Ruchu didn't like Yi Qiu, but Ruchu couldn't simply treat Yi Qiu as a good person of the opposite sex.
Wen Yuan also bought a fountain pen as a Christmas gift last night. After class this morning, Wen Yuan gave the pen to Ruchu
Wen Yuan handed the box containing the pen to Ruchu and said, "This is for you, as a Christmas gift"
Ruchu was very happy to receive Wenyuan's gift, but he still hid the joy in his heart, and pretended to be very bland and asked, "Why do you give me gifts, didn't we say that we don't need to give each other gifts?" ”
Wen Yuan said: "Doesn't this mean that other girls have Christmas gifts?" So as one of the few friends of the opposite sex around you, of course I have to take on the responsibility of giving you gifts during the holidays, otherwise I'm afraid you will quietly envy other girls. ”
As at the beginning, he pretended not to cut and said, "Cut, who said it is rare"
Wen Yuan deliberately snatched back the gift and said, "It's not rare, you give it back to me, I don't want to give it yet"
Ruchu saw that Wen Yuan was about to snatch back the gift, but Ruchu hurriedly stuffed the gift into his schoolbag, and then said, "Are you a boy?" Isn't it so innocent to talk? How can you ask for something you sent out? ”
Wen Yuan said helplessly: "Isn't this what you said is not uncommon?" ”
As early as he said, "Even if I'm not rare, I won't return it to you, since you gave it to me, it's mine, I can do whatever I want, but I just won't give it back to you"
Wen Yuan pretended to be very disgusted and said, "Cut, I know, what you said is definitely different from what you did, don't talk to you, I'll go to the toilet" After speaking, Wen Yuan went to the toilet.
Ruchu watched Wen Yuan walk out, and then put his hand into his bag and carefully took out the gift that was not rare for him just now. As he stared at the gift, he looked left and right, hesitating to open it now. After looking at it for a while, I thought, "Forget it, let's go home and open it again, in case there is a special gift for the students to see." ”
The day has been unusually long. As I have been in elementary school, there has never been a day when I look forward to the bell ringing after school as I do today. Ruchu has been frightened all the time today, and she is especially afraid that Yi Qiu will come to her today to ask for a reply. Yi Qiu said that he wanted to express his liking to himself in his own way, and Ruchu was really afraid of what Yi Qiu would do and let the whole class know that Yi Qiu liked him.
Although it is said that it is normal to have someone you like or be liked by others in high school, Ruchu is still afraid of being known by others. Especially afraid of being known by the person he likes, I am afraid that he will think too much
