Chapter 3 A Different Her

I've been in a good mood lately.

Since that night's "heart-to-heart talk" with Yirui, I have found myself having such pleasure from time to time.

Outside the window, the rain continued to fall, but occasionally it gave the sun a chance to appear. However, I was completely tired of the sound of the rain and the rain that I don't know when it would end.

Since Monday, I haven't had the experience of staying up late at night watching anime and causing me to become depressed the next day. Today is Friday again, and tomorrow is a weekend, but students are nervous because they have two weeks to go before their final exams. At the same time, the amount of homework assigned by teachers has also increased sharply, and in order to gain an advantage in the final joint entrance examination, the printers in the school seem to have suffered. Everyone seems to be worried about homework or exams, but luckily we are a science class, and for me, the homework of calculating something is still very quick to complete without guaranteeing the correct rate.

Of course, my anticipation for the weekend is mainly due to the fact that I will have a secret meeting with Yirui tomorrow night - although I don't know what Yirui is going to do, but looking at the boys who can only look at Yirui from afar, and then thinking about it, I can only have the honor to be alone with Yirui, the psychology is indescribably happy.

Although, to be reasonable, I am the only loser who is alienated by everyone, but in the face of these trivial things, I seem to be the biggest winner in life, at least for myself.

At noon three days ago, at the request of Yirui, I didn't make a prank, but obediently sat in the pavilion and waited for Yirui's arrival. In order to keep an eye on me and make sure I didn't do any pranks, Yirui-san also came to the pavilion on time every day to chat with me or something. The pavilion was blocked by the garden wall, and when it rained, the garden was not visited by anyone else, so my classmates would not notice that I was with Yirui. Of course, in my spare time, I am careful to keep my distance from her.

As usual, I entered the campus from the corner of the playground and quietly made my way through the crowd and onto the school building.

"These days, there doesn't seem to be any demons of plants and trees."

"Looks like the trap I made has worked."

"Just your noose trap? Pull it down, your trap will be easy to break free if you get hit. ”

"Maybe it scared the demon of the grass and trees, and he didn't dare to make trouble again."

These two boys still firmly believe that there are demons in the world, to be honest, a normal person would not believe that there are monsters or ghosts in the world.

Of course, I don't really want to fix them these days, if I really teach them a lesson, let alone talk here, they probably won't even be able to cry.

Yirui came early today, and when I put the umbrella outside the classroom, she was already sitting in the front row of her, but when I looked at her after putting the umbrella, she also noticed it, and said hello to me, and then continued to talk and laugh with the classmates around her.

This is how Friday began.

Today, the homeroom teacher also came very early, and she walked into the classroom before she started to read early. I guess I'm going to talk about something related to the final exam.

"Everyone is almost there. The three days from July 3rd to July 5th are the final joint entrance examinations, and everyone knows it. Therefore, during this time, please work hard and strive to rank high in the whole city. ”

"Understoodβ€”" Everyone replied in unison. These voices are mixed with a lot of weak elements. Hey, I don't understand, why are these guys so crazy about their pursuit of winning the joint entrance examination?

Although I don't want to lower the average grade of my class, I don't have the slightest interest in this aspect, the pursuit of JAE scores. However, Yirui still seems to attach great importance to it, and she is also immersed in her studies in normal times - sure enough, she is just a normal person in the group.

As for why I was so tired of studying and didn't lower my class average, it was all due to my unusual mathematical talent - this is not a boast. Even though I never knew how to use the problem sea tactic like those guys, I was often among the best in my class in math.

However, after the results of every math test are announced, I always attract everyone's doubts, most of them are "Is this done by Zhao Yujie?" "Something. I've always kept a low profile in order not to have anything to do with them, but it's contradictory that these boring guys, who don't even have the casual elegance of squinting at me on the surface, are actually secretly obsessed with my math grades.

Yi Rui also seemed to notice my math strengths early on, and I often mentioned this in the first few days of communication. According to her own account, the note she gave me on the messaging app was "math geek" β€” and to be honest, I was happy with the name "geek".

In the past few days, she has also been very active in sending me questions that I don't understand, and I will patiently answer them one by one. In return, she would go to the school supermarket every day at noon to help me buy a bottle of ice drink or an ice cream or something. Although these things should be quite expensive, she always insisted on stuffing them into me so earnestly that I was embarrassed to refuse.

At noon, after having finished my lunch alone in the northwest corner of the three canteens as usual, I quietly went to the pavilion in the garden for a lunch break. As soon as I sat down, I saw her coming quickly from a distance.

Today, she also wears short sleeves, a short skirt, and black over-the-knee socks. In this school, there are very few girls who dare to dress like her, although this is what I personally think of a female high school student should be dressed, but it seems that girls nowadays would rather wear shorts than try to wear short skirts.

Sure enough, in gratitude for my nearly hour-long "one-on-one" tutoring last night, she brought me ice soda. It was really hot, and she rarely unbuttoned the top of her short-sleeved shirt. She put away the umbrella, gently shook the water droplets on the umbrella, and stroked her long hair to the sides.

"Yujie, you're really early today!"

She gasped for breath, mixed with the faint sound of rain, and I could faintly hear her rhythmic breathing.

"Thank you, Yirui."

She placed her dried umbrella on the stone bench, handed me the soda she had bought for me with one hand, and wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with the other.

"It's hot to death!" She fanned herself briskly with her petite palms, "Yujie, on such a hot day, you can still sit here so calmly." ”

Indeed, the air conditioning is now on in the classroom, and it should be nice for the students to take a nap in such a cool space.

"Maybe it's hotter in the classroom for me......"

"That's right." She said as she gently fanned the hem of her skirt with her hand.

"Sit down! Looks like it burned you out just now! ”

"I'm not tired, it's just that there were really too many people in the supermarket just now, and I struggled to squeeze it out."

She sat down next to me as she spoke.

"That's why I hardly go to the supermarket anymore."

As she tamped her freshly soaked sweat hair, my elbow inadvertently touched her soft arm.

"Hmm, it's so cold!"

"Ah, I've been holding a drink in my arm just now, and I'm a little unconscious here." She grinned and swung her legs in pleasure.

I really hope that the counseling in the past few days will be more or less useful to her! It's also going to make me feel more at ease with what she gave me.

It was very hot, and she wiped the beads of sweat from her forehead with the tissue she carried with her from time to time, which also drew my attention to the headband on her wrist.

"It's ......"

I asked, pointing to her wrist.

"Oh, a handsome boy in the supermarket just gave it to me, and he insisted on giving it to me, so I had to accept it! However, I prefer to use my own bow. ”

That's great! Fortunately, the famous flower is still ownerless, and I secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

"By the way, the school has recently started to renovate!" In order not to discuss the matter, she took the initiative to divert the topic.

"Well, the sound of hitting the foundation is really noisy!" I replied, "I guess those guys in the classroom won't be able to rest properly now!" ”

It's true that the school really didn't care about the feelings of the students, and suddenly said that it was going to make some kind of "quality improvement plan", and it would renovate the campus in three years. I didn't expect the plan announced last week to start being implemented so soon.

"Fortunately, we will graduate from high school in two weeks, and we will go to 'Siberia'! It is said that we will not start work until we graduate, and it is very quiet! ”

"Siberia" is the "corner" of the campus, and it will take another year to start construction.

"Then here, will it be demolished?"

She asked, tilting her head as she pointed to the land she was treading on with her forefinger.

"Yes!"

"Ahh She cried out in surprise.

"But not this year, and we won't start construction until we graduate." I've been to the bulletin board before, so I have a general idea of the whole plan.

"Hey......" she sighed, "did you say you were going to change it to something?" ”

"It looks like building a new school building! After all, it's such a big place. ”

"Hey......"

She sighed again. It can be heard that even if it is not for her personal experience, she still regrets that the garden will be demolished.

"It would be nice if we could stop them...... she murmured quietly alone.

But to be honest, I think it's a pity. After all, this place brings me a lot of joy – and not just pranks. A year later, it became a school building, and there was indeed something unpleasant in my heart.

When the bell rang, Yirui got up and walked towards the classroom. As is customary, I kept a certain distance from her and followed her from a distance.

"Don't be upset, Yirui!"

"Uh-huh......" she looked serious, her head down.

"And this whole year, isn't it? The garden will be safe and secure all year round. ”

"Hmmm......"

"So, why don't we cherish this year!"

"However, I want to protest!" She turned back to me and said, "This garden was originally expanded to its current state during the 80th anniversary of the school last year, and the garden itself is almost all new, so it makes sense that the school should not renovate this place." ”

Protest? Yirui-san, don't be kidding!

"School ......"

"Will you join me in protesting?" I was interrupted in the middle of my sentence.

Even if I were willing to protest with her, would the two of us be able to make the school plan the perfect "quality improvement plan" and just give up the renovation of this treasure lot?

"I ......"

"You want to, right?" She slowed down and walked over to my side.

"Hmmm......"

Although, I still find it a little ridiculous to protest or something.

"Then start by writing a letter of recommendation."

She grabbed my arm and scared me out, "Got it?" ”

"Hmm." I saw in her eyes a resoluteness I had never seen before.

In short, Yirui's current protest is probably just a whim, and when she finally finds out that it was just a waste of effort or something, she should dispel this idea.

"Don't forget, we both have supernatural powers!"

"What is this supernatural power......

"Didn't you mention you could accelerate a blade as fast as a bullet?"

"That's what I said...... Are you going to let me hurt others? I'm not going to do such a thing. ”

She let go of her grip on me and circled around me.

"You don't need to hurt others, don't you like to play pranks the most?"

"Can this be the same......

She giggled, and her gloomy appearance was completely gone.

"Anyway, let's talk to the school first. After all, this garden is really beautiful, and if it weren't for your pranks, the students would actually love to come here. If this is turned into a school building, then the school will not have any other scenery except the building. ”

"I didn't play a prank...... Is it necessary to say that......"

"Hey...... she walked in front, smirking smirked.

Although this is just her vision, I still hope that the school will not tear down the garden.

After the second class in the afternoon, the rain stopped.

The weather forecast that my mother conveyed to me in the morning was quite accurate, and according to the weather forecast, there would be three consecutive days of sunny days in the future. If all goes according to plan, the rainy season may soon be over, and the endless rainy days will come to an end.

Since it was Friday, the last two classes were self-study, so I took advantage of the high efficiency of the school in the classroom and quickly caught up with the weekend homework that had been assigned. Yirui-san really left me with the matter of writing a proposal, because I didn't plan to review the content of the exam, so I had a whole weekend to complete it, and I thought about it slowly, and it should still be very convincing.

At the end of the third period, I was invited by my homeroom teacher to sit in his office.

The two curious boys were still discussing the "Grass and Tree Demon" that didn't exist at all, and the classmate who made people feel more daring sounded like they had some bad idea.

"Eh, when the summer vacation comes, we'll come here every night to ambush, how about it?"

"Why does it have to be night?"

"Don't you see it yet, idiot?" The Grass and Tree Demons have been too scared by us to show their faces. So maybe it's only at night that he dares to come out for activities. ”

"Poof......" I almost couldn't hold back a laugh on the side.

I thought I could scare both of them half to death during the day, but now I actually said that I would come at night, and I guess when the time comes, I will teach them a prank, and they will never dare to set foot in this school again.

I don't know if everyone is in a hurry to do their homework, and they want to have more time to review on weekends or something, and there are a lot fewer people playing in the corridor after class. Naturally, I suffered less from the cold on the way to the office.

"Report!"

I pushed open the office door, and the head teacher saw me and stopped working. At the desk, the homeroom teacher had already prepared a chair for me.

"Sit down."

Fortunately, after a brief conversation, I was sure that he had not summoned me for a family interview because of my poor studies, and I was secretly relieved.

"I heard that you have been very close to Chen Yirui recently."

Is it really because of these things?

"That's right, it's the learning stage, if it's interesting to other girls, it's better to keep it in your heart and not show it. You're very close to her every day, and it's a bad influence on you, on other classmates, and on her......"

"It's a very bad influence on her" is the key. Because I'm a weirdo, because I'm withdrawn and neglected, being very close to her will have a very bad effect on her, right?

"So, please don't get so close to Yirui-san in the future."

Even if the homeroom teacher didn't say it as bluntly as Xu Ruirong, I could hear what he really wanted to express from his reasonable words.

"Understood."

"Go for it......"

"That's right. Your math score should be very high, and I hope you can perform well in this joint entrance examination. ”

"Well," I said, opening the office door, "thank you, teacher." ”

When I walked out of the office, the fourth period was already in class.

The thick clouds gradually receded, and the sky seemed to be brighter than before.

I was a little overwhelmed by the teacher's sudden warning, and although I have been careful to keep a certain distance from her these days, I was still reported to the teacher by some gossip and boring guys. It seems that for the next period of time, I can't stay with Yirui-san at noon every day.

However, I was surprised by the teacher's encouragement in the end, and I had only heard three people say such things since I stepped into this campus - the first was the math teacher himself, the second was Yirui, and the third was the homeroom teacher.

"What, you were summoned by your teacher?"

Since today is Friday, I don't have to rush to do homework or tutor Yirui in math when I get home, so I immediately told Yirui about it.

"Well, it looks like you won't be coming to the pavilion next week."

"Hey, those gossip guys are really tough."

"It's okay, you'll be back in the classroom at noon next week, and I promise I won't play pranks in the garden alone."

"Okay, I'm going to review the exam next week, so I'll go back to the classroom and prepare for the exam."

"Well, you have a good job."

"By the way, tomorrow night at seven o'clock, don't forget."

The classmates in the school are really strange.,Obviously, they usually try their best to avoid any contact with me.,But they're always secretly paying attention to my every move and Yirui-san.。

They just want to think too much, and the ridicule of "toads want to eat swan meat" is simply ridiculous. My relationship with Yirui-san is normal, and Yirui-san can be regarded as my first friend since stepping into this high school. I was chatting with her and relaxing, which was normal for us as friends. Also, since I was a child, no one wanted to stay with me, so being with Yirui-san also gave me a happiness that I hadn't experienced much in 17 years. Tomorrow, though, I'll finally be able to put aside those boring or bad guys and be alone with Yirui-san quietly.

Saturday night is finally here......
