Chapter 140: Not a Friend
The winners of the "TOEFL Jr." contest were quickly announced in the city's high schools, and the F High School became famous for taking two spots in the top 10.
The school's newspaper and even the city's youth newspaper rushed to F High School to interview the two award-winning students.
On the good news in the school bulletin board, the names of Lu Junfeng and Xia Xianwen jumped up on the left and right, and there were also the biographies of the two students and the comments of their respective class teachers at the bottom.
People who walk past the billboard always stop to talk about these two people.
Because "Little TOEFL" is indeed a very valuable competition, it is really remarkable to get the award, plus the two were originally the first and second top students in F High School, and they usually put them together for comparison and gossip, and now everyone has sublimated the relationship between the two in private.
Not only are they the first place among boys and girls, but they can also win prizes in English competitions at the same time, which is the right way for high school boys and girls to "touch" each other!
But gradually, it extended from the contact of learning to life, why the two often take the car home together and review homework together on weekends...... These things are spread with noses and eyes.
Lu Yao has been very busy recently, and she is approaching the radio drill competition, in addition to the rehearsal of her own class, other classes know the standards and specifications of Lu Yao's radio drills, so they all come to her to give her class demonstration and guidance.
Lu Yao is usually sleeping during her lunch break, and she has nothing to do, and she readily agrees to any class that comes to her.
Lu Yao looked like a very cold person, but as long as she didn't delay her own affairs, it wasn't difficult for her, and she was usually willing to help a little bit.
It may be a little difficult to ask her to be hired, but once she is willing to help, she will do her best.
After tirelessly demonstrating over and over again, she corrected everyone's posture hand in hand.
"Lu Yao—Lu Yao—"
Xia Xianwen stood at the end of the line and called her.
Lu Yao didn't hear it, didn't squint, and reached out to raise the arm of a boy in front of him, as soon as Lu Yao touched the boy's arm, the boy's face turned unnaturally red.
"After practicing for so long, let's take a rest first!" Xia Xianwen is the squad leader, and as soon as she speaks, everyone gathers in groups to rest.
Lu Yao walked to the corner of the basketball hall by himself, his right hand over his shoulder and gently tapped his left shoulder, looking very tired.
She has been unable to sleep well at night recently, she always has to be woken up several times in the middle of the night, she doesn't sleep well at night, she feels very tired during the day, and she is called to guide the radio exercises of other classes during the lunch break, and there is no time to rest.
She could have refused, but ...... She selfishly doesn't want everyone to really think of her as a rare person who is close to and has a very high conceit.
A bottle of water was handed to her, and Lu Yao took it expressionlessly.
"What's wrong, you don't seem to have slept well?" Xia Xian's literary landing was leaning on the railing in front of the audience.
Lu Yao just drank a few sips of the water she sent, and didn't say Xia Xianwen's words.
Xia Xianwen knows Lu Yao well, and knows that she sometimes has a weird temper, she doesn't like to deal with people very much, and she often has to play a little petty, and she doesn't look very good today, so she may not have much energy to chat with herself.
Xia Xianwen felt that a beauty like Lu Yao should be "unhappy" from time to time, full of sorrow and melancholy.
And those of them who are around Lu Yao have to spoil such a person all the time.
Because he thought that Lu Yao had always been such a person, the loss in Xia Xianwen's heart was quickly replaced by relief.
Her eyes wandered around the basketball hall and then landed on a moving figure, she bumped Lu Yao with her shoulder, hooked her lips and said ambiguously: "It's rare to see that person in your family playing in the basketball hall during his lunch break!" ”
There is no need for Xia Xianwen to remind her, she has already seen this person when Lu Yao entered the gymnasium, not only today, but in the past week, as long as she appears in the gymnasium, he must be there.
Since that night, after that physical and mental battle and torture, the two of them seem to have gone back to five years ago, and he still cares about her, but she turns a blind eye to him, and adopts an attitude of indifference to his whole person.
Although Lu Junfeng swore that he would definitely let her return to him again, in fact, he had no choice, except that she was not very resistant to his care in life, she was so indifferent that she even fell on her own with a stingy look.
"By the way, why are you in such a hurry to get home recently?" In the past few days, Lu Yao no longer took the car home with Xia Xianwen, but rushed to the station to take the car as soon as he got out of class, leaving Xia Xianwen and Lu Junfeng in the last few cars.
But she didn't have the keys to the house, and although she was the first to get home, she could usually only stay in the bookstore near the neighborhood for a while, and when Lu Junfeng almost got home, she didn't hurry home.
Xia Xianwen hadn't been in the car with her for a long time, and even before their class asked Lu Yao to guide the radio drill today, the two didn't have much chance to meet.
Lu Yao's silence from beginning to end finally made Xia Xianwen feel a little strange.
"Lu Yao, what's wrong, has something happened?" Although she has always been a silly girl who is happy, she is at the age of adolescent sentimentality after all, and she is indifferent to the sudden changes in other people's words and deeds and attitudes on the surface, but in fact, she doesn't care about it in her heart.
Lu Yao's recent deliberate alienation and neglect she had actually noticed it, and she just pretended to have nothing to do with her, just to verify her thoughts.
And she guessed correctly at all, Lu Yao was no longer the same to herself as before.
"Lu Yao," Xia Xianwen was a little uncomfortable, and the mineral water bottle in her hand was pinched with a "croaking sound", "Are you in a bad mood?" You guys...... Did you quarrel? In fact, he likes you so much, what else do you have to disappoint you? ”
Xia Xianwen only let Lu Yao raise her eyes after mentioning Lu Junfeng, she turned her head, and a pair of beautiful eyes seriously distinguished Xia Xianwen's expression.
After knowing that Lu Yao was watching her, Xia Xianwen's face smeared with a wry smile, and she whispered, "Those in the school are about us...... Don't believe the rumors together, we all know that the only person he likes is you, and you should also guess who I like......"
"I can't guess," Lu Yao interrupted her categorically, and she asked her rhetorically, "Who do you like and what does it have to do with me?" ”
Lu Yao's words made Xia Xianwen stunned, and she looked at Lu Yao in disbelief: "We, we are not friends......
"It's not!" Lu Yao denied it without hesitation.
"But didn't we get along quite well before? We went to dessert together, went out to review our homework together on the weekends, and we had a party and a drink at Hooligan Meng's house! ”
Although Xia Xianwen knew that Lu Yao was not very close to people, she was like a goddess that everyone looked up to and avoided, but she always felt that Lu Yao was different from others.
She would joke with herself, invite herself to eat, feel sorry for her being bullied by Gao Le, and she would even take herself home without fear of her discovering the secret relationship between her and Lu Junfeng......
She thought that even if she and Lu Yao were not friends, they shared hardships and had a feeling!
But Lu Yao now told her plainly that he had never regarded her as a friend, and she was indifferent to her affairs!
Lu Yao deliberately ignored the loss and embarrassment on Xia Xianwen's face, and said in a deep voice: "Just because we get along very well, can you meddle in my life at will!" ”
Xia Xianwen felt aggrieved, but Lu Yao was also full of heartache!
Although she has never admitted that Xia Xianwen is her friend in her heart, she admires this person, likes her free and fearless personality, and admires her courage to move forward for the person she likes.
After she was willing to risk being splashed with sulfuric acid in order to save herself, she even distinguished this person from others, Lu Yao was beside him, in addition to Xiao Meng Tangfei and Lu Junfeng, Xia Xianwen was another person who could make her willing to contact and socialize.
But she and Lu Junfeng actually did such a thing to themselves!
It is already her greatest tolerance that she doesn't take the initiative to find her and give herself an explanation, and now she even accuses herself of not treating her as a friend by "the wicked sue first"!
"Lu Yao, you...... Already know? ”
"I hate it when others do this kind of dirty thing!" Dropping this sentence, Lu Yao left without looking back.
Xia Xianwen was stunned in place, looking at Lu Yao's back......
And somewhere in the gymnasium, someone who was drinking water and resting, his eyes always followed Lu Yao's figure leaving the gymnasium......
As soon as Lu Junfeng walked out of the classroom, he saw Xia Xianwen lying in the corridor in front of their classroom.
Xia Xianwen lay on the railing, burying her face in her schoolbag, and she turned her head when she heard the footsteps behind her.
Seeing Lu Junfeng standing outside the classroom door looking at him, he smiled helplessly at her.
The two stood silently on the bus stop, having just missed a bus and would have to wait for a while for the next one.
"Lu Yao already knows everything?"
Lu Junfeng didn't speak, his silence had verified her doubts.
She said weakly: "You didn't explain it to her properly?" ”
Lu Junfeng wasn't sure if what happened that night was a good explanation.
Xia Xianwen sighed, stretched out her palm and put it in front of Lu Junfeng's eyes, and said bitterly: "Hey, brother and sister, give it a high-five!" ”
Lu Junfeng couldn't help frowning at the hand stretched out to him.
"Cut, it's boring." Xia Xianwen stupidly withdrew her hand and put it into her pants pocket.
The two of them were silent for a while, Xia Xianwen seemed to suddenly think of something, and asked him, "Does Meng Zhichao like Lu Yao?" ”
"I don't like it." This time he finally opened the "golden mouth".
"Oh......" But she was not very convinced, so after hesitating again and again, she decided to continue to ask with a cheeky face and not afraid of searching, "But how can a man be so kind to another person who is not related by blood?" ”
Lu Junfeng's gaze lingered on her face for a while, and after making sure that she was really just puzzled about this matter, he let go of the inexplicable suspicion in his heart just now, he thought that Xia Xianwen liked Meng Zhichao, and it was impossible for her to be a little jealous of Lu Yao, which was normal.
"They grew up together, and with their background, they have fewer friends and playmates than others since they were young, and sometimes they don't have much affection for the people closest to them, so such people will cherish the people who appear around them."
"In that case, why can't he cherish me......" Xia Xianwen was surprised by the words she blurted out, she nervously looked at Lu Junfeng's face, and she was relieved to find that his expression was as usual and he did not react strangely to what she said.
Lu Junfeng thought that this was another fool who fell in love with a "rich child" who was born colder than ordinary people.
While he thought so, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for her.
"Not all who appear around them will be cherished, but...... People who have the same upbringing as them. ”
Lu Junfeng's eyes darkened a little, and it was even more difficult to hide the loss in his tone, "Even if you can break through all the obstacles and enter their lives, but in their deep-rooted thoughts, you are always different from them, and what people like them do can be tolerated and forgiven." And those ...... People who are different from them, as long as they do one wrong thing and take the wrong step, they will be considered despicable and disgusting! is not worthy of forgiveness! ”
