Chapter 70: Charcoal in the Snow (1)
Walking into the library hall, the winter morning sun shines through the glass ceiling dozens of meters high, Bai Xinrui stands on the parquet marble floor, the first principal Usher· Arnold's bronze statue is smiling at her.
At this time, the easiest thing to find William is the library, and before getting on the elevator, she couldn't help but take out her mobile phone, point the camera lens at herself, and admire it. The eyeliner is just right, the mascara is not smudged, the lip makeup is fresh and natural, after the morning shower, an hour of makeup makes her look light and makeup, but it shows a delicate beauty beyond the natural color, she hooks the corners of her lips and gives herself a perfect score.
This is the easiest place to meet William, especially on weekends. Bai Xinrui got off the elevator and went straight to the magazine reading area, where she didn't see William, and wandered around the wooden gabled desk surrounded by the wall for a long time.
Could it be that after receiving the admission letter from Harvard, William began to let himself go like most twelfth-graders?
Bai Xinrui was thirsty and ready to go to the 12th grade discussion salon for a cup of coffee and then go to the chess club.
As soon as she opened the door of the small salon on the fourth floor, the light in the room was very dim, only the velvet curtain in front of one window was ajar, and she saw at a glance that by the long window, a young man with a depressed expression sat in an old leather circle chair, looking out of the window gloomily. You can't see the young man's face, but the stubborn red hair on his head shines in the morning light.
William is really here, Bai Xinrui's mind is flying, she just got the admission letter from Harvard, how can she be a badly frustrated and unlucky look? What else would he be unhappy about now?
It is obviously impossible to study, and he is even more comfortable in social activities, so there is only feelings. Could it be that this idiot went to find that facial paralysis again, and then hit the wall again? It's quite possible for a die-hard guy like him to do that!
However, this is exactly what Bai Xinrui wants, so wouldn't they be sympathetic to each other?
Bai Xinrui tiptoed into the center of the room, and sat down silently in a sofa that could not be illuminated by the sun, she never thought that the sofa in the small salon was so soft, and as soon as she sat down, her body sank into the soft backrest.
At the moment, wrapped in a dim light, she felt very comfortable.
I don't know how long later, William heard a slight noise in the room, and when he looked back, he saw that there was a figure on the sofa in the discussion area.
The brocade-like dark hair fell heavily on his shoulders, this turned out to be an Asian girl, William's heart couldn't help but tremble slightly, he got up from his chair and walked towards the girl step by step. Her hair seemed to have been freshly washed, exuding a faint luster, wafting with a good fragrance of flowers and fruits, fresh and sweet.
As he got closer, the smile on his face receded, and the girl on the sofa had long straight hair, a pure black and inky color, and the flax that he hoped for would smell like sun. He rubbed his eyes, yes, he read that right, the girl's shoulders were twitching slightly.
Appearing only on the school's glamorous stage all year round, William rarely spends time alone with girls, but he can tell that the girl on the couch is crying, which makes him a little crazy.
He turned to the front of the sofa and exclaimed, "Stella, why are you here?" ”
The girl who was crying so much that she seemed to be taken aback, and the tear-stained tissue in her hand fell on the carpet.
William looked at the touching elementary school girl, couldn't help but feel pity, picked up the crumpled facial tissue from the ground, threw it into the trash, and took out a small stack of new facial tissues from the paper drawer and handed it carefully, and then, like a brother, stroked her shoulder, leaned over and lowered his head and asked softly, "What's wrong with you, you have an awkward relationship with your classmates?" Or did you not do well in the exam? ”
Back then, Huang Yaqian's filming of crying scenes has always been a pass, and she never wasted the precious time of the crew, and was described by the directors as a "faucet", which can be turned on and off at any time. Bai Xinrui inherited her mother's genes, and developed the word "heart" throughout the performance.
She glanced at William with tearful eyes, and without speaking, she turned around and lay on the arm of the sofa, buried her face in the crook of her arm, and cried even more sadly.
"Tell me, did someone bully you? Trust me, I'll do justice for you. The more the other party didn't speak, the more William wanted to ask what was going on.
After crying for a while, Bai Xinrui twitched and raised her eyes from the crook of her elbow, and the crystal tears swirled in a pair of clear eyes, and then, dripping down, even a hard-hearted person would be moved when he saw it.
William lowered his elevation and squatted in front of Bai Xinrui, looking at her with distressed eyes.
Bai Xinrui wiped the tears that kept dripping, the corners of her mouth twitched twice, and said, "Kevin...... Empathy, don't fall in love...... I bumped into him and Mia in the black box rehearsal hall...... Affectionate ......"
Kevin's pursuit of an eighth-grade girl from China was once a storm at school, and William had certainly heard some rumors.
Listening to Bai Xinrui's words, he couldn't help frowning. Kevin's old mistake of messing with flowers and grass has been committed again, and he just chased Stella into a simple and kind girl, and he doesn't know how to cherish it, which is simply too unusual!
"It's so irresponsible for him to do this!" William was indignant.
He thought of being in the fencing center the day before yesterday, and told Yu You about receiving the Harvard admission letter with joy, however, her attitude was indifferent, and her language was cold, which deeply pierced his heart, and he was in a trance for several days.
William sat down beside Bai Xinrui, and gently enlightened her, and those chicken soup words seemed to comfort her wounded heart.
After a while, Bai Xinrui sobbed and said, "You know...... We Chinese girls are more conservative...... I didn't have a boyfriend, and half of the promise to Kevin was because of the families on both sides...... But I didn't expect ......"
