Chapter 7: The Rainbow of Brilliant People
Because of Lu Li's outstanding performance at the orientation party, he quickly became a celebrity at the school.
In the morning, I met Gu Zijin and Gu Zipei at the school gate, Gu Zijin hooked my arm, his face was unhappy, and his tone was sour, "Zhen Zhen, do you know?" Lu Li actually defeated our school's school grass Chen Yao, and now he is the first place on the popularity list of Yangfan Middle School and has become the new school grass. ”
Yangfan Middle School Popularity List is a popularity ranking created by our school's students on the school forum, and every once in a while, students vote for the most popular students in the school. Gu Zijin just said that the predecessor of the school, Chen Yao, is the senior in the second year of high school, I heard that he is not only very handsome, but also has very good grades, he entered the school with the first grade in the school that year, and every exam after that is the first, including the first place in various competitions such as the National Mathematics Competition, Physics Competition, English Competition, Essay Competition, etc., in short, his legend has allowed him to occupy the first place in the popularity list for nearly a year. Of course, all of the above are what Gu Zijin said, and there is no way to verify whether they are true or not, but judging from the fact that the top three on the list are all handsome guys, the judges of this list should basically be appearance associations like Gu Zijin. But I didn't expect Lu Li to beat him and become NO.1 just by playing a piano at the welcome party.
And the reason for Gu Zijin's displeasure is very simple, Chen Yao is her crush.
I patted the back of Gu Zijin's hand and comforted, "Isn't this just right?" Lu Li helped you dismantle some of your rivals. Your chances of catching up with Chen Yao are even greater. ”
Gu Zijin tilted his head and thought for a while, then said with a smile: "Zhen Zhen, what you said makes sense, it seems that I have to thank Lu Li well." ”
When I arrived at the classroom, Lu Li was taking out bags of things from the drawer and putting them on the table, and when I got closer, there were bags of breakfast and snacks.
I asked curiously, "Lu Li, why do you have so much food in your drawer?" ”
Before Lu Li could answer, Qian Cheng, who was sitting in the front row of us, turned his head and laughed, "Early this morning, a few girls from other classes specially sent it to him. Lu Li, congratulations, you have become the new school grass of Yangfan. ”
Lu Li picked up a bag of buns and threw it to Qian Cheng, "Take it and plug your mouth." ”
Qian Cheng took the bun and grinned, "Okay, thank you." ”
Seeing this, Gu Zijin and Gu Zipei also walked to Lu Li's side, cheekily asking for a few bags of breakfast.
There was still a bag of bread left on Lu Li's table, and he turned his head and asked me, "Do you want to eat it?" ”
I waved my hand, "I've eaten it." ”
"Oh, Gu Zipei, I'll give you another bag." Lu Li turned around and threw the bread on Gu Zipei's desk, then turned around and put the schoolbag in the drawer, took out the English test paper sent out yesterday and made it.
Gu Zipei even praised Lu Li's righteousness behind his back, and Gu Zijin also muttered in a low voice, don't forget us if there is something delicious after Lu Li.
In the second class in the afternoon, Gu Zijin and I went back to the classroom after going to the toilet, and met Lu Li and a girl talking at the door of the classroom. The girl is small, with a round face, big eyes, and short shoulder-length hair, like a Japanese anime character, she is holding a jar of biscuits in her hand, and her eyebrows are dancing and saying something, Lu Li listens and nods from time to time. This is the first time I've seen Lu Li talk to a girl so seriously. My heart was a little sour, and I pulled Gu Zijin, who was standing in place and was about to watch the gossip, and half-pulled her into the classroom.
As soon as I sat down in my seat, Lu Li walked into the classroom with biscuits, because the scene of the girls giving gifts to Lu Li just now was seen by most of the class, and when Lu Li walked into the classroom, the boys began to coax.
"Lu Li, who was that girl just now?"
"She seems to be the Duan Hua of our year Su Yueling, Lu Li, you are amazing, you have done it so quickly."
"Talented and beautiful, haha."
Lu Li didn't pay attention to everyone's jokes, but put the biscuits on the table casually, and fell asleep on the table.
The third class is geography class, the teacher holds a globe to simulate the rotation and revolution of the earth, and the students in the class are actively interacting with the teacher, but I am absent-minded, looking at the jar of biscuits on Lu Li's table for a while, and thinking about the relationship between Lu Li and Su Yueling.
Lu Li woke up and turned his head to me and asked, "What are you doing?" ”
I pointed to the textbook, "I'm listening!" ”
Lu Li snorted mockingly, "You took the book backwards." ”
I glanced at the geography textbook in my hand, and sure enough, I took it down, but I was a little annoyed by Lu Li's disdainful tone just now, and replied unhappily, "I'm happy, you can't care", but I didn't control the volume, and the classmates sitting around me turned their heads to look at me, but fortunately, the teacher was fiddling with the globe and didn't notice my sudden noise. I immediately buried my face in my textbook and pretended it wasn't me making the noise.
Lu Li looked at me, didn't say anything, opened the book and listened to the lecture.
At this moment, a muffled thunder suddenly sounded outside the window, and the air in the classroom became a little hot, as depressed as my heart at the moment.
Fortunately, the depressed mood lasted for a long time, because the first monthly exam after entering the school was coming soon, and everyone gradually entered the state of preparation for the exam, and I was also nervous. During this period, occasionally one or two girls gave gifts and love letters to Lu Li during recess, and Lu Li gave the gifts to the Gu family sisters and brothers to divide up, and the love letters were thrown into the trash without even reading them.
Since that time when I unilaterally got angry with Lu Li, the two of us have rarely spoken. Lu Li still arrived at school early every day, slept most of the class time, and disappeared as soon as school ended. In addition to attending classes, I basically do questions during recess. But I still followed the agreement and helped Lu Li copy notes every day.
Gu Zijin once quietly asked me what happened to Lu Li, I just shook my head and didn't answer, in fact, I don't know what's wrong with me, maybe I'm jealous that Lu Li is good-looking, studies well, plays a good piano, and so many people like it.
In the afternoon of the physical education class the day before the monthly exam, in order to let us meet the monthly exam in the most relaxed physical and mental state, Zhang Long was merciful and did not change the physical education class to a self-study class.
The PE teacher also understood our hard work in preparing for the exam, and let us jog for three laps before we could move freely. After everyone spread out and started running, the boys ran as fast as they wanted to buy more time to play basketball, while the girls ran relatively slowly. Gu Zijin had menstrual cramps because of his aunt, and Zhang Long asked Gu Zipei to send Gu Zijin home to rest first.
Gu Zijin was not there, I was running alone, thinking about the quarrel with Lu Li, I was depressed, so I ran faster and faster, and when I ran to the second lap, I suddenly felt dizzy, my limbs were weak, and I squatted on the ground uncontrollably. Since I was a fast runner and half a track away from the girls in my class, and most of the boys had already completed three laps to play on the basketball court, no one noticed my abnormality.
"Are you hypoglycemic?" Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in my ears.
I raised my eyes to meet Lu Li's unwavering eyes, and said weakly, "It seems to be." ”
Lu Li helped me up from the ground, frowned and asked, "Where's your sugar?" ”
I put my hands in my pockets and dug into them, saying, "I didn't bring them." ”
Lu Li took out a White Rabbit toffee from his pants pocket, peeled off the outer paper bag, and handed it to me, "Here you go." ”
I took the candy in surprise, stuffed it into my mouth and asked, "Lu Li, why do you carry candy with you." Is it because of me? Of course, I didn't dare to ask the second half of the sentence, it seemed a bit self-inflicted.
Lu Li seemed to hear my inner voice, he glanced at his face unnaturally, and said, "Just allow you to like to eat toffee." ”
"Ahaha, I see, fellow travelers." I twitched the corners of my mouth in embarrassment, trying to move only to find that my legs were still shaking.
I had no choice but to look at Lu Li for help, "Lu Li, can you help me forward to the stone bench in front of me?" I'm a little weak in my legs. ”
Lu Li nodded, and carefully helped me to sit on the stone bench next to the basketball court.
I smiled gratefully at Lu Li, "You go play, I'll rest for a while." ”
"They haven't finished a quarter yet, so I'm sitting and conserving my strength." Lu Li sat down next to me, his eyes looking at the court.
I propped up the stone bench with both hands, looked at the boys running back and forth on the court and shot basketballs, and slowly asked, "Do you know the girl who brought you cookies that day?" ”
"Classmates in junior high school." Lu Li replied.
"She seems to like you." I pulled my gaze back from the court, lowered my head and toyed with my fingers, pretending to be nonchalantic.
"That's her business." Lu Li was still staring at the court, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
"She's so cute and pretty, don't you like her?" I still didn't give up and continued to ask.
Lu Li turned his head to look at me, his brows furrowed slightly, and he reached out and knocked my head unexpectedly, "I have to like it if I look beautiful, then how big is my heart." ”
Hearing Lu Li's answer, my heart suddenly became clearer, and all the previous irritability, depression, loss, and strange feelings dissipated in one fell swoop.
Lu Li continued: "Are you jealous? ”
As if I had been told what was on my mind, I was embarrassed and immediately denied it, "No." ”
"I'm kidding, listening to you talk so loudly, my body should be recovered, then I'll go play."
Lu Li stood up and grinned at me, this was the first time I had seen him smile, his eyes bent into the shape of a crescent moon, and a small pear vortex appeared and disappeared at the right corner of his mouth. When he smiled, I felt that the whole world was brightened, and I couldn't take my eyes off it.
I nodded sheepishly. Lu Li rushed towards the court, the second half of the basketball game just started, Lu Li handsomely took the basketball thrown by his teammates and threw it into the game. There were more than a dozen people running back and forth and jumping on the playground, but there was only Lu Li left in my eyes.
Years later, I watched a movie called "Heartbeat", which has a classic line: "One day, you will meet a person who is as colorful as a rainbow, and when you meet this person, you will feel that everyone else is just floating clouds." ”
At that moment, I finally understood the feelings that I had not explored in depth before, and I liked Lu Li.
