Chapter 1 The 38th Parallel of Love
On the first day of junior high school, the class teacher asked the class of 46 students to stand in two teams, male and female, and arrange them in order from small to large, and walk into the classroom in pairs from left to right, from front to back.
Guo Shaoyang glanced at it, and he found the most beautiful girl, and he secretly prayed to be able to sit with this girl. The reason why Guo Shaoyang thinks she is beautiful is because she has a pair of big watery eyes that can talk.
Coincidentally, Guo Shaoyang was assigned to the girl he liked and sat at the same table in the fourth row.
"Hey, what elementary school are you from?" The lesbian table took the initiative to pat Guo Shaoyang's shoulder, but Guo Shaoyang's face suddenly turned red.
The lesbian table secretly laughed, feeling that this boy was too shy, and when she was in elementary and middle school, she was best at teasing those naturally shy boys.
“What'syourname?”
The lesbian table deliberately showed off a sentence of English, but Guo Shaoyang didn't understand it, because of the eighteen primary schools in the township, only the students of the central primary school have learned a little bit of English.
"Hey, let me ask you, what's your name?" The lesbian table looked at the shy boy in front of her very lightly.
"Guo, Guo Shaoyang!" Guo Shaoyang's eyes flickered, and he didn't dare to look at the big watery eyes at the lesbian table, he was afraid that those eyes would see through his thoughts.
"Guo Shaoyang, my name is Zhang Yating, it's a pleasure to meet you." Zhang Yating said that she was about to shake hands with Guo Shaoyang.
Guo Shaoyang hurriedly looked around, fortunately, no one paid attention to them, but his clenched fists were already sweating nervously. In fact, he was very eager to grab the little white hand, but he was shy and reserved and did not respond to her boldly.
"Look at you, what age is it now, a big man twisting and pinching is too inconsistent with the standard of being my tablemate!" Zhang Yating put her hand back in disappointment, and glanced at Guo Shaoyang with contempt, and rarely took care of this rustic tablemate from then on.
Every time he saw Zhang Yating talking and laughing with other boys, Guo Shaoyang's heart was sour, and the only way for him to comfort himself was to study hard. Because as the saying goes: there is Yan Ruyu in the book, and there is a golden house in the book!
After the midterm exam, Guo Shaoyang was in awe and impressed by Zhang Yating's academic performance as the first in the class, but she still kept a certain distance from him with the posture of the class flower, after all, she couldn't be too snobbish.
However, the aura of the first academic performance in the class is too dazzling, and sometimes it dwarfs her class, especially in the self-study class, when many classmates surrounded Guo Shaoyang to ask questions and squeezed her tablemate aside, she couldn't help but be envious and jealous.
So, after class one day, Zhang Yating found half a piece of chalk from the podium, drew a fairly straight 38 line in the middle of their desk, and seriously warned anyone who crossed the line to hit him with a book.
The reason why Zhang Yating did this was just to create contradictions and let Guo Shaoyang pay more attention to her, but the result disappointed her.
Almost half of the students in the class crossed the 38th line intentionally or unintentionally when they asked Guo Shaoyang for advice, so she slapped her elbow with a book, and had a more or less verbal dispute with her, and only Guo Shaoyang seemed to be separated from her, and Qiu did not commit any crimes, which made Zhang Yating very depressed.
Actually, Zhang Yating didn't know that Guo Shaoyang had already fallen in love with her, but he just let her everywhere.
At that time, Guo Shaoyang was very popular, and many girls deliberately talked to him, but Zhang Yating just looked at them with blank eyes.
With the passage of time, Zhang Yating slowly found that she really fell in love with this boy who she shouldn't like and didn't look at her with her eyes, but she wouldn't admit it, she was afraid that the consequences would be that Guo Shaoyang would laugh at her, and then disappear from her life forever without saying a word, she never expected to be Guo Shaoyang's girlfriend, but hoped that Guo Shaoyang would one day say to her: Actually, you are not bad, I like you a lot. And this sentence she wanted never waited.
Zhang Yating felt that Guo Shaoyang was not even willing to say a word to her, but in fact, Guo Shaoyang felt that he was stupid and was afraid that he would accidentally say the wrong thing and make her angry, so many times he talked to other classmates, but he was silent about his tablemates.
Zhang Yating deliberately pushed the 38th parallel to Guo Shaoyang's side by one centimeter, two centimeters, and three centimeters...... Just hoped to gently hit his elbow, and soon her goal was achieved, Guo Shaoyang had reached the point where he could no longer back down.
Zhang Yating picked up the book with hope and gently patted Guo Shaoyang's arm, Guo Shaoyang turned his head to look at her but didn't say anything.
Zhang Yating was very angry, she slapped Guo Shaoyang again, just to get his attention, but Guo Shaoyang never resisted, just kept avoiding Zhang Yating's harm to him, because he was afraid, he was afraid of making Zhang Yating angry and ignored him from now on, he thought that patience was the best way to keep Zhang Yating for a lifetime.
The head teacher can't tolerate a naughty girl who affects the learning of outstanding students, especially since he also expects Guo Shaoyang to take the first place in the whole class to add glory to himself. So he separated Zhang Yating and Guo Shaoyang, and arranged another lesbian table for Guo Shaoyang.
Guo Shaoyang didn't want Zhang Yating to leave, but he had no reason to keep her by his side, he realized that he might be in love with her, but after thinking about it repeatedly, Zhang Yating never expressed it, so he could only hide this feeling, and many times he just silently looked at Zhang Yating who was sitting in the front row and was distracted.
Zhang Yating didn't know how to love someone well, and seeing that Guo Shaoyang didn't care much about her, she had to hide this thing that she didn't know if it was love or friendship at that time. But she didn't know that she was missing the most important person in her life for this.
The new tablemate's name is Wu Hongxia, and she drew a 38th line in the middle of their desks like Zhang Yating, but Guo Shaoyang often crossed the 38th line because of his distraction, so Wu Hongxia picked up the book and gently hit him, once or twice...... Guo Shaoyang finally couldn't bear it anymore, and kicked Wu Hongxia down in the classroom with a hard kick.
Wu Hongxia patted the dust on her body, stared at Guo Shaoyang coldly, and two lines of sad tears fell instantly.
The whole class looked at Guo Shaoyang in surprise, in everyone's impression that he was not a person who lost his temper easily.
Zhang Yating became more and more disappointed when she saw this, she wanted to make Guo Shaoyang angry before, but he didn't bother to pay attention to her, such an obvious love line, but he never took it to heart. In fact, she didn't know that Guo Shaoyang was very concerned about that line, so she was cautious and never dared to take a step beyond Lei Chi.
This went on for months. Guo Shaoyang found that he was really a little uncomfortable with the days when he left Zhang Yating, he always looked at the seat that belonged to Zhang Yating next to him during class, or silently looked at her back.
Guo Shaoyang suddenly found that Zhang Yating's earlobes were extremely white, so white that he was distracted in class again and again. Guo Shaoyang doesn't like sports, just hides in the distance and quietly watches the familiar figure playing on the playground. Sometimes they would meet by chance on the road, and he always wanted to say something to her, but every time he saw her big watery and talking eyes, he couldn't help but get nervous, so he had to stop talking.
In fact, every time they meet and then quickly separate, it makes the two of them sad, but they don't have the courage to express their thoughts to each other, they are both afraid of losing each other, or they are both worried that the other party will see their loving heart.
Time will make something fade gradually, another year has passed, Guo Shaoyang and Zhang Yating still cherish the feelings in their hearts, he forced himself to stop thinking about her, and she repeatedly vowed to completely forget their feelings when the leaves are gone, but the leaves are falling again and again, Zhang Yating still can't do it, all she can do is cry for him alone and bless him.
However, Guo Shaoyang involuntarily thinks of Zhang Yating every time he does his homework, and even often sits at the same table with her in his sleep, or just sees her white earlobes and big watery talking eyes very abstractly!
In the second year of junior high school, Guo Shaoyang's academic performance suddenly plummeted, and he suddenly slipped to more than a dozen in the class. As a result, the teacher criticized him more than praise, he lost his former favor, and everyone looked at him differently than before.
Guo Shaoyang also became more and more lost, because he didn't want everyone to be disappointed in him, especially when his parents pinned the hopes of the whole family on him alone, and all because of Zhang Yating.
So, Guo Shaoyang did something that even he couldn't believe in his heart.
After self-study that night, Guo Shaoyang secretly followed Zhang Yating, suddenly picked up a stone, and smashed it hard at the back of her head.
Guo Shaoyang thought that he killed Zhang Yating with one stone, and he would not think about her again in the future, but he didn't expect that he would regret it afterwards, and it became his lifelong heart disease.
Zhang Yating was seriously injured that night, coupled with excessive fright, she didn't dare to go to self-study at night, and finally simply dropped out of school. However, Guo Shaoyang did not stop missing her, but blamed himself deeply for it, which seriously affected his studies, and by the time of the high school entrance examination, he only took the penultimate place in the class.
Originally, his mother had prepared a futon for him to go to high school and take the university entrance examination, but Guo Shaoyang took the initiative to drop out of school. The whole family was disappointed by this. Guo Shaoyang, who has a strong self-esteem, felt shameless in front of relatives and friends for a long time.
Guo Shaoyang herded cattle in his rural hometown for two years, and then was introduced to a small song and dance hall called Jiuzhongtian in the county seat as a waiter, living in a temporary private room, cooking and eating in the back kitchen, with a salary of 450 yuan per month.
Guo Shaoyang never dreamed that he would meet Zhang Yating here, and in that situation!
