Chapter IV: Coming-of-Age Ceremony
On Monday, Xu Zinan returned to school, and today is the coming-of-age ceremony.
In the morning, the school's green playground was full of people, and the sun finally poured in and slowly spread forward.
Xu Zinan found a place to sit down, and Yue Wenqi next to him was chatting enthusiastically with a few classmates, all of which were boring gossip: which star's lace scandal, and the new album of a certain singer......
Ou Ziming in the back was also talking to a few friends, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time.
It would be nice if it rained today, this kind of conference was boring and boring.
A shrill electric current sounded, and the principal's voice came over the radio: "Good morning, students. In the golden autumn of September, the clouds are clear, today is your coming-of-age ceremony, and you are just like the rising sun, rising......"
Xu Zinan was a little absent-minded, threw his backpack aside, picked up a book, removed the bookmark, and lowered his head to read.
The sun is rising, the applause has been repeated several times, and the conference still shows no sign of ending. Xu Zinan had already turned dozens of pages of the book, and the voice next to him gradually became noisy, the air was a little irritable, and the excitement at the beginning slowly turned into complaining.
Yue Wenqi held an azure umbrella, and the shadow fell on Xu Zinan.
"It's so boring, how long will this be going, I'm a little thirsty." A female classmate next to her was a little anxious.
"It should be soon, let's wait a little longer." Su Mo on the side said.
Xu Zinan raised his hand and looked at the time, it was almost ten o'clock.
It's been going on for a little longer, and my waist is a little sore when I sit here.
Xu Zinan moved his joints, took out a bottle of water from his backpack and drank a few sips.
Yue Wenqi saw Xu Zinan's movements, her eyes were no longer bright at this time, her red lips were dim, and her face was a little haggard.
She forgot to bring water.
But she didn't speak, looking down at the ground.
Silent. She didn't want to beg the person she hated in front of her, even if it was just a paltry bottle of water.
This meeting is estimated to be over for a while.
Xu Zinan saw her gaze and sighed in my heart:
"She's really going to give me problems."
He looked at his backpack and took out a new bottle of water from it and handed it to her.
"Now, here you go." He touched her shoulder.
Alas, some compensation for what she said a few days ago.
Yue Wenqi raised her head and looked at the clear and translucent water bottle in his hand, her face was a little surprised, and her eyes were a little bright.
"I packed a few books on my back, which was a bit heavy, and I didn't want to take them back."
"Thank you!" Yuewen had a glimmer in his eyes and took it.
"No, you don't." Xu Zinan turned his head and said again: "Or when the conference is over, you can help me take my schoolbag back." ”
"Huh? …… All right. Yue Wenqi responded in a low voice.
Yue Wenqi took the water and twisted the cap with some difficulty,
Su Mo on the side looked at it with his eyes, and said with a smile: "I'll come, my eldest lady." ”
Su Mo, who had taken the water, joked again: "Aren't you usually quite energetic." ”
Yue Wenqi blushed at her words.
"Now, here you go." Su Mo unscrewed the water and handed it to Yue Wenqi, who took the water, took a few sips, moistened her red lips, and handed it back to Su Mo.
The conference lasted for more than half an hour and finally came to an end.
"Give you the bag, don't lose it for me." Xu Zinan threw the backpack to Yue Wenqi.
"Uh-huh." Yue Wenqi nodded heavily, and her face was no longer haggard at this time, but smiling.
Hey, can you not be well-behaved and sweet to everyone, and you can't be a little wary of others with common sense? Although this is very attractive to the average boy, and even has the illusion of being in love, it was a mistake to choose me.
Xu Zinan turned around indifferently, holding a stool in one hand and water and books in the other, and walked towards the dormitory.
Su Mo leaned over, glared at Xu Zinan's back and said angrily:
"This guy, why are you so careful, you can't unscrew the bottle, and he's embarrassed to let you help him carry his backpack."
Ah sneeze, Xu Zinan, who was walking, didn't know why he had a cold shiver.
"No, it's not heavy." Yue Wenqi shook the backpack in her hand, looked at Su Mo's pouting appearance, and covered her lips and chuckled.
Su Mo glared at Yue Wenqi, "Cut, forget it, I'll help you get the stool." That way, you don't have to go to the conference room anymore, just go back to the classroom and help this guy drop his bag on his desk. ”
Without waiting for Yue Wenqi to speak, Su Mo picked up the stool on the ground.
"Let's go to the alumni supermarket and buy ice cream, remember to wait for me downstairs." Then we went to the bean curd mother's place, and I hadn't eaten taro balls there for a long time. Su Mo turned her head and looked at Yue Wenqi, who was still smiling.
"Well, listen to you." The two held umbrellas and walked together on the greenery of the playground and walked towards the teaching building.
"Momo, I'm here."
Yue Wenqi saw the girl approaching and waved.
"Xiaoqi, the position you picked is really good. And osmanthus tweed. Su Mo sat down in Yue Wenqi.
Yue Wenqi handed her a cup of taro balls, "Na, your favorite red bean." ”
"Hee-hee, thank you, our Xiaoqi is the best."
The osmanthus in front of the court is like a string of gold, and the dark fragrance floats.
The two girls sat at the table, smiling like osmanthus flowers.
"Xiaomo, what kind of osmanthus do you say? It smells so good. Yue Wenqi looked up at the strings of gold.
"Xiao Ye Su, the aroma is strong, or willow leaf cinnamon."
"Well, I still prefer the osmanthus with a lighter fragrance, and I like the ones under our dormitory."
There was a wind blowing, and there was a burst of fragrance.
Su Mo raised his gaze, looked at the osmanthus, and then looked at the girl opposite. "Xiaoqi, what do you think of that guy?"
I don't know if I remembered what happened just now, Su Mo suddenly asked this question.
"Huh? Who are you talking about? Yue Wenqi asked with some hesitation on her face.
"The guy who asked you to help him carry the bag, he really doesn't know how to pity the fragrance and cherish the jade, and he still looks like he does his own thing, and he is so arrogant to let you help him carry the bag." Su Mo looked at Yue Wenqi and said angrily.
"Haha, he, there's no problem, it's just a gesture, didn't people give us water to drink, how can it be as exaggerated as you say." Yue Wenqi laughed softly, blaming Su Mo for making a fuss.
"Cut, I get angry when I think of him, he just thinks of the water. The last time I saw him, he didn't have a good face, pretending to be tall and arrogant, how can you stand it if you still sit with him. Su Mo pouted. If you have time, tell the teacher and come next to me, and I can teach you math. ”
She threw a wink at Yue Wenqi.
"Eh, don't make trouble, people don't offend me, I don't offend people. He's not as bad as you think, it's quiet, and it doesn't bother me. Although there are occasional small conflicts, it seems that I provoked others, but I feel a little embarrassed. Yue Wenqi smiled suspiciously.
Su Mo stared at Yue Wenqi, her eyes became a little strange, "You, you won't like him, will you?" Are you out of the blue? ”
Yue Wenqi: ......
"Oh, what are you talking nonsense, I didn't say that he was bad, nor did I say that he was good, really, I just think he has some personality, where is it so mysterious as you say." Yue Wenqimei glared at the girl in front of her, "Besides, it's good to have self-reliant thoughts, not follow people's words, and have your own opinions." I want to be like that, too. ”
"Uh...... I don't care what the big reason is, I just see that he is unsociable, withdrawn, and arrogant, with a look of 'everyone is drunk and I am sober', and he looks unpleasant. ”
Su Mo held her chin with her left hand, knocked on the table with the jade fingers of her right hand, and stared at Yue Wenqi with her eyes, obviously unhappy that she was defending him.
She continued to complain: "Besides, have you seen that he has given you a good face in the past few days?" He didn't help you much, except today. He ignores you even when you ask him math questions. ”
"Oh, okay, don't dwell on this question, why mention him well, I have to thank you for answering that question for me, hehe." Yue Wenqi smiled sweetly.
"Of course I helped you with your favor, who am I you, so polite to me." The corners of Su Mo's mouth lifted slightly.
"Alright, my good sister, let's go, go back and take a nap, there are still a few classes in the afternoon."
Yue Wenqi took Su Mo's hand, and the two threw the cup into the trash can and walked towards the dormitory.
"Su Mo, did you say that the sun-scented cinnamon under the building of our dormitory looks like a late silver cinnamon, and the fragrance of the flowers is a little stronger."
"I don't know, I hope it's late silver cinnamon, no matter how light the aroma is, you can't smell it."
"Well, it's good that the evening silver cinnamon is stronger."
……
A day passes, when the night is quiet, the osmanthus downstairs is sparse, the night is as cool as washing, and the frost is full of flowers.
