Chapter 158: I Like You, Love
February 14, 05, White Day in the traditional sense of the West.
Zhong Yi hugged the materials borrowed from the library, said hello to Xu Qing, who was about to stay for review, filled out the library card, and walked out of the library.
The cold wind blew over her, and Zhong Yi pulled up her turtleneck sweater, and hurried back with the reference book in her arms, and walked through the path directly to the science teaching building.
Halfway through, he was stopped.
She looked back, her eyes puzzled, at the empty path, the bare branches intricately coiled overhead, the faint light mottled through the cracks in the branches and cast a broken shadow on the ground.
There was a rustling sound in the grass, Zhong Yi was shocked, his hand holding the book couldn't help but tighten a little, his back was cold, and he had the courage to shout at the grass: "Who?!" ”
There was a long silence, but no one answered.
Zhong Yi frowned slightly, thinking that he must have been under too much pressure to study, so he was nervous. As soon as she turned around and raised her feet to leave, there was another rustling sound in the grass, and then a cat meow rang in Zhongyi's ears.
She turned around and saw a few dead leaves hanging from Qiao Yu's messy hair, and her hands were raised above her head, holding up the yellow and white kitten.
It looks ridiculous.
"Qiao Yu? What are you doing? ......" Zhong Yi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "poof" couldn't help laughing, his eyebrows were half-curved, and his eyes were bright.
Qiao Yu smiled embarrassedly, put down his raised arm, dragged the kitten's body with one hand, and rubbed his hair carelessly.
"The little one's foot got stuck in the bushes, and it took a lot of effort to get it out." Qiao Yu lowered his head, checked whether the cat's limbs were injured, the corners of his lips curled, and muttered: "I just called you over to help, didn't you hear?" He glared at me warily, as if I was an outlaw. ”
"The wind was too strong to hear." Zhong Yizheng stared at the cat in Qiao Yu's arms for a moment, it's so cute, I really want to touch it...... I'm going to have pink eyes*.
But because of Qiao Yu's presence, he must restrain himself no matter how he likes it, and he can't lose people and lose face.
"Well, no injuries. Next time, be careful not to run around. Qiao Yu raised a smile at the corner of his lips, gently touched the cat's head, and gently put it on the ground, his eyes were very soft: "I have time to play together next time, goodbye~"
Seeing the kitten's footsteps disappear from view lightly, Qiao Yu retracted his gaze, raised his eyes, and looked at Zhongyi. Glancing at the information books she was holding in her arms, she couldn't help but ask lightly: "I remember that your exam this week didn't pass early, why did you borrow so many information books." ”
As soon as he mentioned the exam, Zhongyi's eyes were full of gold, his body was weak, and there were two big "depressions" written on his face: "The head teacher doesn't know what kind of wind he smoked, the results of the last exam were invalid, and this time I will retake the exam." If it does not reach more than 90 points, the penalty is to copy the paper twice. ”
She stretched out two fingers and shook them weakly from side to side, a depressed look in her wet and bright eyes.
The smile on the corner of Qiao Yu's lips suddenly froze, and the originally casual expression became serious, staring at Zhong Yi with burning eyes, and his magnetic voice was a little lazy: "Zhong Yi, I seem to like you." ”
He said: "I never believed in love at first sight, but after meeting you, I realized that I had long liked you. ”
"I don't know when I started liking you, but I just know that when my heart is full of someone, and when she laughs, I will be happy. She was sad, and my heart ached. ”
"I like what you like, not casually, but really like."
The pitch-black Hitomi stared at her for a moment, her eyes pure and not like she was joking.
Qiao Yu half-tilted his head, bent his lips and smiled, like a child who had eaten candy and had been happy all day, "Today is February 14th, White Day." Would you like to be my girlfriend? ”
"......" Zhong frowned inadvertently, staring at Qiao Yu with a dull gaze, and the sound in his ears was his "affectionate" confession, which was a little absurd and abrupt.
"I'm sorry Qiao Yu ......" for a long time, Zhong Yi found her voice, she lowered her eyes slightly, looked at the stone bricks under her feet, her heart was messy, and the unspeakable depression was blocked in her heart, and she couldn't breathe.
"I can't promise you."
Xin Rui once said that there is no pure friendship between men and women, either one party is cautiously crushing under the banner of friends, or the other party punctures Hengdan's "friendship" between the two. The chances of becoming a lover are very small, and in the end, even friends can't continue to be friends.
Qiao Yu is the one who is cautiously secretly in love, but he can't resist the cross-flow of time.
Qiao Yu lowered his eyes slightly, and a hurt look flashed under his eyes, and then he hid it in a shallow smile. He had long expected this to be the case, Zhongyi's eyes never deceive, there was only one person in her eyes, and that person would never be him.
"Do you really have to be so ruthless?" Qiao Yu said with a pained face: "I've liked you for so long, don't you have a good impression of me?" ”
"Nope." I like to answer simply.
"I lost." Qiao Yu sighed softly, raised his hand to cover his eyes, looked at Zhong Yi who was standing opposite him through his fingers, and asked, "Zhong Yi, can we go back to the past?" ”
Once upon a time? Like a normal friend, meet and say hello and make a few little jokes on each other?
"Qiao Yu, you have always been my friend."
Qiao Yu put down his hand, and the smile on the corner of his lips became more and more bitter, "I know, I will give up on you." ”
"Favorite." Xu Huaisheng held the book in one hand, put the other hand in the coat pocket, and walked towards her unhurriedly. His eyes were soft on her, and he calmly took the book in her arms, "It's time for class, let's go." ”
"Oh, good." Zhong Yi curled his fingers, put his hands in his jacket pockets, glanced at the empty path behind Xu Huaisheng, and raised his feet to leave.
…………
"Qiao Yu confessed to you?!" Xin Rui was excited and stood up from the bench, causing the students passing by around her to cast "mentally retarded" eyes.
Zhongyi's little face was slightly red, and he reached out and pulled La Sinerui's sleeve, signaling her not to be ashamed, and to sit down quickly. Her voice was so low that even she was a little incredulous: "I was surprised at the time, but after the surprise, it was a different story. ”
Xin Rui sighed, "Since I was a freshman in high school, I found out that he had ill intentions towards you, but I didn't expect him to persist for so long before confessing, perseverance is really good." ”
"Xin Rui, you say, can you continue to be friends when your feelings are not pure?" Zhong Yi put his hands on his cheeks, and looked depressed.
"Of course not!" Xin Rui said righteously: "At the beginning, I was a friend with a purpose, but now the purpose has not been achieved, and I have been rejected, and then I put forward the request to be a friend, this person is definitely not dead, and he still has a trace of luck." Did Qiao Yu tell you? How do you answer? ”
"I answer as usual." Zhong Yi laughed twice weakly, and unconsciously looked away. Scattered around.
If Xin Rui knew that she agreed to continue to be friends with Qiao Yu, would she kill her directly, then split her body and finally throw it into the sea to feed the fish.
Xin Rui looked her up and down suspiciously, staring at Zhong Yi with a straight hair, and said that she would go back to review under the pretext of going back to review, and without waiting for her to ask for an understanding, she hurriedly slipped back to the classroom.
In the afternoon, Zhongyi spent all her time in a trance, and it wasn't until the evening self-study that she realized that so much time had passed quietly.
The classroom was very quiet, Zhong Yi raised his head from the English book, pressed the back of his neck with one finger, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw that a few desks on the opposite side were empty, and the few girls who used to diligently bow their heads to brush the questions were all gone tonight. Raising land, I just remembered that today is White Day, and I should be busy dating.
The third middle school strictly prohibits early love, but there are always some young boys and girls who have just started an underground relationship, even if they are already in the third year of high school, they still can't occupy their time to fall in love during their studies.
In the strict sense of the word, she belongs to the type of "good girl" in the eyes of others, she has not been late for three years of high school, has not skipped class, has not fallen in love, has studied well, and is beautiful. For the love between men and women, it is as pure as a blank sheet of paper, and I don't understand anything.
So Xu Qing always gossiped with her from time to time about a certain female classmate in the class, how many boyfriends she had this semester, what broke up because of that, and who ended up in this unrequited love.
Over time, Zhongyi suddenly discovered that the whole world was busy falling in love, and she was the only one who was busy memorizing words and brushing questions, and she couldn't even separate her extra thoughts from Xu Huaisheng, who had been secretly in love for many years.
After a long time, it will become an "outlier" in everyone's eyes.
Zhong Yi retracted his gaze slightly, and accidentally saw that the girl in the front row was using her mobile phone to exchange text messages with her boyfriend in full swing, and the sweet smile on the corner of her mouth could not hide the strong love that was about to overflow the screen.
"Peeping is not a good habit." The deliberately suppressed voice sounded in her ears, and the warm breath poured on her earlobes in the light of her breath, and after a while, the pink earlobes gradually turned red.
Zhong Yi hurriedly retracted all his gaze, pretending to memorize English words silently, but his brain couldn't remember a word, and even the most basic pronunciation was completely forgotten.
There is a Xu Huaisheng beside him, how can he study with peace of mind!
"Favorite." Xu Huaisheng suddenly straightened his face and said in a serious tone.
"Huh?"
"Come out, I have something to say to you." Without giving her room to think, Xu Huaisheng had already taken the lead in standing up, and walked out of the front door in a bright light, and his figure stopped at the corner for a while, as if waiting for her.
Zhongyi hurriedly closed the English book, didn't even have time to close the cap of the pen, buried his head in his chest, and trotted out of the classroom, closing the front door by the way.
Xu Huaisheng didn't think about where to go for a while, and walked back and forth in the corridor of the first class of the third year of high school. Stopped, looked through the glass at the night scene, a bright moon hung in the dark sky, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and he remembered where he was going.
Zhong Yi silently followed him and walked out of the school building. Shivering coldly, he left the heated classroom, unable to adapt to the temperature outside for a while.
At night, the temperature is low, windless, and cool.
