Chapter 9: The Covenant at the Crossroads

The spreader of rumors, Ye Zi, is Shallow's best friend, and the whole class knows about their relationship, but no one doesn't believe her when she says it. Although Asa also knew that Ye Zi was secretly creating gossip about her and Dazuo and her and Chiming, she was still inseparable from Ye Zi without a heart. In the few years that they were at the same table, Asa never told Ye Zi that she liked Osa or liked Jiming, so all the rumors were Ye Zi's subjective imagination. But unfortunately, Asa was eventually reluctantly affected by the gossip spread by the leaves among her classmates, and she began to pay attention to Zhiming from the day of the spring outing, as if the leaves said something like that. Jiming may really like himself, and he seems to like seeing him so much.

The so-called true is false when it is false, and true is true when it is false. People who are caught up in the whirlpool of rumors will naturally be thoroughly involved. Shallow began to fall in love with Zhiming completely, and the secret crush when she never realized it turned into a fair look, and she began to ignore anyone's gaze at all. Anyway, this matter has already been rumored, and it has already been pulled into this gossip by the creator and the whole class anyway. Whatever, if you like it, you can like it.

During that time, some girls often asked her in private: "Shallow, Ye Zi said that you are very good with Zhiming?" After hearing this, she didn't admit it, she said quietly: "How can I be good with him, we haven't said a word." She knew that if it was really good, it was just a crush on each other. There is a wise man who once said: Beautiful girls grow up to have a hard life, because they are always harassed by the opposite sex when they are young and cannot devote themselves to their studies, and they do not drop out of school or become scumbags. As for those ugly-looking girls, because they have not been noticed since childhood, they put all their energy into studying. So they grow up to be successful in their studies, which is why the wives around many accomplished men are average-looking. And those beautiful girls married early. That's why their lives are miserable! This is what a wise man said, and there is some truth to it.

Regarding early love, Qianqian was only 17 years old at the time, and she didn't understand the problem of liking someone as early love. So when she was questioned by the girls in her class, she looked innocent, and then laughed and joked: "How can I like him, he is so short, it's ridiculous!" ”

But the girls don't believe it, they don't believe it, she still happily jumps with a group of friends every day. And Zhiming has never appeared around her, but girls still like to talk about her and Zhiming.

I clearly remember that she and Zhiming spent a week at the same table at the beginning of the second year of junior high school. In this week, neither of them took the initiative to talk to anyone, Zhiming is a cold person, shallow is a quiet and shy girl, if the boy does not talk to herself, she will not bother with each other. Then one Monday morning, her math teacher moved her to the fourth row behind Jimin because the height difference was too great. One is suitable for sitting in the first row of positive numbers, and the other is suitable for sitting in the first row of the penultimate number. After that, for the entire rest of the semester, Asa and Zhiming barely met each other between classes.

Asa really liked Zhiming from February of the third year of junior high school, but the scandal between the two of them was already known as the second year of high school.

Shallow often thinks silently; Ye Zi, a friend who has been at the same table with her for three years, plays a role in her own life.

Every night during this period, Qianqian began to sleep very late, and she fell asleep after eating before, and slowly became insomnia and couldn't sleep.

It was another morning, and I got up as soon as it was light. The fog was a little thick in the morning, so I pushed open the wooden door and walked to the well in the yard, washed my face casually, and then went back to the house to comb my hair. She has had a student's head since she was a child, and her skin follows her father's, white and bloodless. She looked at herself in the mirror and felt that she was still so beautiful, she was very satisfied with her appearance, she always felt that she looked like Zhou Huimin in a postcard. "It would be great if one day I could become a star like Zhou Huimin!" Thinking expectantly, he turned around and picked up a stack of books on the table and walked out of the house.

On the path leading to the annexed school, the surrounding houses are quietly shrouded in a hazy mist. In the sky, occasionally a few early birds chase and wink by. Wang Qianqian raised her head, her eyes following the flying birds until they disappeared from her sight.

On the street, early risers walked scattered, shallow alone out of the winding and dilapidated village, and then through the gauzy white fog and across a stone bridge carrying a small weeping willow. Usually every morning when you walk here, you will immediately look at the intersection 100 meters away. She hoped that at this moment, at that misty crossroads, there was Jiming waiting for her. It's just that the mist formed a barricade around her, and she could only see a meter away, and she couldn't see anything farther away. On the quiet paths, there is the occasional sound of chattering or soft footsteps, as is the case in the wilderness in spring, where there is a lot of mist.

Due to the intervention of the mist, Asaha's mood became a little anxious. In order to see it as soon as possible, Zhiming shallow, who rides a bicycle and waits for him at the intersection every day, sped up his pace. When she was still a meter away from the intersection, she finally saw the long-awaited figure, although it was vague, but he was sure that it was Jiming's shadow. It's just that there are groups of boys standing next to him, and they are standing quietly looking in the direction where shallow is coming. They are all good friends of Zhiming, and if Zhiming doesn't leave, they just stand with him. At this time, Zhiming was wearing a white shirt, a red vest, and white pants, and his face was pale. He looked at the shallow who was coming step by step, still sitting quietly on his shiny black bicycle, and his leg resting on the stone canal and quietly looking at the shallow.

Shallow through the mist and accidentally found so many boys standing on the crossroads looking in her direction and couldn't help but panic, she ran past Zhiming, after running some distance she turned to look at Zhiming, he was quietly following her with her good buddies. Every day after that, at the intersection leading to the attached elementary school, there will be a group of boys standing at the crossroads, all of them are Zhiming's friends, Zhiming wants to wait for Wang Qianqian, they will follow.

Zhiming walked with his friends for a while, and found that Wang Qianqian was about to enter the school gate, so he got on his bicycle and quickly passed through the dilapidated moon gate on the campus and then braked.

When she walked into the moon gate, she saw that Zhiming's bicycle had been parked in the most conspicuous place in the teaching building, but Zhiming was gone. Asa knew that Zhiming had already entered the classroom and was waiting for him. So she quickened her pace again and ran towards the front door of the Trinity class.

Every morning, the door of the Trinity class is full of people, Wang Qianqian holds a whole stack of books through the flow of people and just squeezes into the classroom, and the campus is ready to ring the bell. She seemed to run into the classroom every morning with the bell ringing. On this day, Wang Qianqian was wearing a blue sweater and dark blue pants. The clothes on her body were all sent from the south by her aunt from afar, and she was one of the most avant-garde in this school in terms of fashion. When she walked into the classroom, she saw that Zhiming was already standing in her seat waiting for her, Zhiming stood there straight, quietly looking at Wang Qianqian who was rushing over, her beautiful face made him obsessed, and made him gradually abandon his studies.

Class is about to start, and the classroom of Trinity is still full of people coming and going. At this moment, no one noticed that Asa stumbled towards the desk, and no one looked at Zhiming staring at Asa intently, they forgot all the people who came and went around them, and it seemed that there were only the two of them left in the whole world.

After the first class, Baidu took the book again and patted it impatiently on the shallow head, Baidu and Dazuo are good friends. Shallow finally understood in a trance why Baidu suddenly always found his own fault. But this endless torture made her finally unable to bear the pain on her arm. She is so sad, for more than a year, she has been questioned by her classmates again and again by groundless rumors, and hated by inexplicable people, what kind of is this? She lay on the table and wept bitterly, and the sky outside the window changed like the face of a June child, and in the blink of an eye, dark clouds and thunder began to fall, and crackling raindrops continued to hit the window beside her.

Zhiming has been sitting quietly in the last row, his small man should have sat in the front of the first row, but he sat at the back of the classroom and looked at his beloved girl every day. He saw Qianqian lying on the desk crying bitterly, so he kept persuading Bai Du: Don't beat her anymore....... After that, Jiming left his seat and walked to the front of the podium to look at the shallow in a daze. Shallow looked up at Zhiming and continued to lie on the table and cry bitterly.

The rain outside the window was still dripping heavily on the glass beside Qianqian, and suddenly he heard someone standing in front of the window calling himself: "Wang Qianqian, Wang Qianqian!" Turning his head slightly, it was Zhiming's friends Yang Ling and Zhang Fei and Pan Pan. Seeing these people, she turned her head and fell back on the table. She didn't want to deal with these people, people who often teased her. I guess they saw that they were crying and ran to gloat, but it didn't look like that. Whatever, they're all people with bad intentions anyway, and they don't bother to pay attention to them. Instead of looking at Zhiming, who was trying to walk into her, she turned around and snatched the homework book from Baidu's hand and threw it at him.

This time, Bai Du didn't fight back, just watched her quietly.
