14-year-old Hong Si does not believe that there are miracles in this world.

Or rather, miracle is a word that has nothing to do with her.

Since birth, she seems to be a child who is a little more unlucky than the people around her, and no matter what she does, the results are often not so smooth.

Therefore, when she was helping at the class food stall at the cultural festival, she was hit by someone behind her and knocked over the spices in her hands, she was not surprised at all.

Ah, again.

That's all she could think.

The spice bottle, which had been opened, came out of the palm of his hand and slid into the air, and the reddish-brown sauce reached the mouth of the bottle in a continuous tumbling process, almost pouring out of it.

Hong Siyu didn't have time to grab the bottle, so she could only bluff her palms in vain and stared at the spice bottles flying in the air.

Then, in her gaze, a hand reached out from the side.

The hand gripped the spice bottle firmly in its hand, which was almost clasped to the iron plate. Even the sauce in it didn't spill much, and it was perfectly preserved in its original appearance.

Hong Sihe looked at the hand that suddenly stretched out a little dumbfounded, not knowing how to react.

Looking up, the owner of this hand was a tall and handsome boy.

The boy's facial features are not very stunning, but when combined, they will make people feel pleasing to the eye and look quite harmonious; He has neat short hair, the school uniform on his body is neatly dressed, meticulous, and his temperament gives people a restrained and rigorous, bookish impression, much like the "scholar" mentioned in the classics.

It's just that there is no expression on the boy's face, and it can even be called cold. He just grabbed the spice bottle that had fallen from Hong Sihe's hand and handed it back to Hong Sihe without saying a word.

“…… Thank you. ”

Hong Sihe squeezed out these two words from his mouth with great effort, but his voice was very weak, and it could be said that it was as thin as a mosquito.

"You're welcome." The boy replied with a blank look.

After he took his share of snacks from the food stall, he didn't show the slightest sign of asking for credit from Hong Sihe, as if he had really just done a trivial thing, and left easily.

His figure disappeared into the crowd like this.

- "Ah, that man, isn't that who? ”

When Hong Sihe watched the boy leave, her classmates also noticed this scene, and after seeing the boy's back, they subconsciously said: "The boy in the third year of junior high school, I remember it is quite famous." ”

"Famous?"

Hong Sihe looked at his classmates with some confusion: "I don't have any impression at all." ”

"Of course a good student like you who doesn't listen to anything outside the window doesn't know."

The classmate smiled and said, "That senior is a famous flowery man in our school?" It seems that you are dating two senior sisters at the same time? Or three? ”

"Huh, huh?"

The truth in the classmates' mouths pulled Hong Sihe out coldly from some hazy feelings, and said in surprise: "Flower, flowery man? ”

"Don't let his appearance fool you."

The classmate turned the whisk in his hand and said with emotion: "Although he looks like a handsome guy, he doesn't know his heart but knows his face, and if he rushes up, he will just be abandoned after being played with his feelings." ”

"Playing with feelings? I—I didn't think about that kind of thing! ”

Hong Sihe hurriedly defended, only to feel a little hot for a while: "And early love is not right!" That's not something we should be thinking about! ”

"Are you an elementary school student? So innocent. ”

The classmate said with some disdain: "Your performance just now is obviously a little tempting to others, right?" Interested in seeing the color? ”

"Huh?"

The other party's straightforward and bold words made Hong Si's cheeks hot, and he subconsciously stepped forward and grabbed his classmate's shoulder: "I didn't!" ”

"You're still staring at other people's backs?"

"I really don't! It's just that he did a favor just now, so he's a little concerned about it! ”

"Really?"

"How can it be a fake......"

The two of them had a boring argument like this, until the squad cadre in charge of the foreman noticed that the shipment of the food stall was decreasing, and even the supply was in short supply, and then he noticed the two people who were fishing in the corner and came to interrupt their argument.

Hong Sihe returned to his place, picked up the spice bottle again, and began to make snacks.

It's just that because the spice bottle has been taken off once, she is now holding the bottle extra carefully, just to prevent any more accidents.

If you were lucky enough to be helped by passers-by like you did just now, there won't be a second time, right?

She thought so, and gradually, in the busyness, forgot about the boy.

……

……

14-year-old Hong Sihe is a somewhat unlucky child.

Because she is unlucky, she will not hope for ethereal luck, she will always try her best and rely on hard work to get a certain future.

So she is a very diligent student with excellent grades.

To be more specific, she was the first in her grade.

She always spends all her spare time in the school library, and when others are enjoying their youth, she is always quietly reading and studying in the corner of the library.

It is only at this time that she feels a rare sense of relief, because this is her own little world, and she can indulge in the sea of books to her heart's content, ignoring any external invasions.

Recently, though, she had noticed another person in the library—a boy, a boy she had a little impression of.

The other party helped him at the cultural festival a few months ago, which was only recently remembered by Hong Sihe.

She didn't know exactly when the boy started studying in the library, after all, she had never paid attention to the other students in the library.

It's just that a few days ago, this boy came to the library with another beautiful girl.

Whether it's a handsome boy or a pretty girl, if you appear alone in the library, at most people will subconsciously look at each other, but they won't pay more attention.

But when the two appear together in the library, they become the center of attention.

The eyes full of suspicion, envy, and contempt all turned to those two people, and many students could not even calm down to study, so they only felt ashamed to be together, and closed their books and left the library that day.

Even the boy and girl were just studying, and they didn't do anything superfluous.

Red Si did not leave.

Regardless of the fact that she didn't want to leave, she couldn't do it if she wanted to. Because her mom had to pick her up very late, she had nowhere else to go unless she was back in the classroom.

It was also on that day that she learned the boy's name from the whispered conversation between the beautiful girl and the boy.

Lin Yun.

It's a name that fits its appearance well. Like the gentle sun, it is not dazzling, but it does not hide the essence of its light.

After that, Hong Sihe gradually discovered that Lin Yun was also a frequent visitor to the library.

Moreover, he does seem to be studying seriously.

Except for that time when he studied with beautiful girls, Lin Yun always went alone, silently choosing reference materials, and quietly writing and reading books in the corner of the library.

He doesn't take the initiative to talk to others, and he doesn't care about the eyes of the people around him, day after day, like a robot, he arrives at the library on time and leaves on time.

Of course, there are occasional days when he doesn't show up in the library.

It's normal, others always have their own lives.

Hong Sihe just noticed the boy, and in essence, he didn't have any conversation with him, and the conversation between them was "thank you" and "you're welcome" during the cultural festival.

There's no reason for them to cross paths more.

Hong Siyu thinks so. Until one day in the library, in order to get a book that was placed very high, she fell from the air.

She stepped on a chair to raise herself, trying to tiptoe to reach the book, but lost her balance because the chair was slipping.

At the last moment, a hand reached out from behind her back and grabbed the neckline at the back of her neck in a desperate moment. Hongsi and this saved him from falling to the ground.

The fright of falling from a height made her heartbeat difficult to calm down, and finally gradually calmed down, and she looked back to see who helped her, and it was the boy named Lin Yun who came into view.

"That...... Thank you? ”

Because he didn't know what to say, Hong Sihe could only weakly express his gratitude to the other party in a tone that he wasn't sure about.

"You're welcome."

Lin Yun still only gave a rather brief response: "Be careful." ”

His voice was quiet and clear, and it sounded quite pleasant, probably because there were only two people at the scene, and it was very quiet, and it was very clear to Hong Sihe's ears.

After confirming that Hong Sihe had regained his footing, he loosened the collar of Red Sihe and straightened the chair on the ground at the same time, and then, without further ado, he left so easily.

Hong Sihe just stared at the back of the other party leaving, until he disappeared between the bookshelves, and then he turned his head back in a little daze and looked at the bookshelf again.

When she chose the books she wanted and left the bookshelf area, she found that Lin Yun had left the library. Contrary to his habit of not arriving late or leaving early, he left at a time that did not move forward or backward.

Hong Sihe didn't think about it, he continued his usual study habits, read and wrote problems in the library, and waited until his mother came to school to pick him up, then he got up from his seat and packed up his school supplies.

It's just that before leaving, she suddenly found that there seemed to be something on Lin Yun's seat.

Walking forward, she found a book.

It is a textbook for the third year of junior high school.

The marginal scroll of the textbook has obviously been flipped through many times, and when I opened the cover of the textbook, I could see that the name "Lin Yun" was neatly written on it.

If you continue to turn the page back, you can see that the textbook is densely packed with various notes and notes, and different colored pens are used to mark the round of study in which the notes were taken.

It can be seen that the owner of the textbook is very rigorous and serious in his studies.

It seems that because the other party left in a hurry, he left the textbook here, or he didn't want to bring it because he was too troublesome, so he deliberately left it in the library.

Hong Siyu didn't know the exact reason, but that didn't stop her from putting the book in the library's safe. After all, there's no guarantee that the textbook won't be thrown away while it is being cleaned, or taken away by other students.

I'll tell him about it when he comes tomorrow."

Hong Siyu thinks so.

It's just that what she didn't expect was that since that day, she hadn't seen Lin Yun again.

The figure, which had become somewhat familiar, disappeared from the library.

In the days to come, a month, two months, whenever Hong Sihe set his eyes on the seat that Lin Yun liked to choose, he could only see empty tables and chairs.

Should I send his textbooks to his classroom?

Red Si and occasionally think like this. Just thinking about the possible impact of doing so, she didn't have the courage to do so.

A complete stranger girl who takes the textbook that the boy left a month or two ago to look for him in the classroom? That sounds weird! No matter how you look at it, it looks like you have a strange idea.

I didn't have any thoughts about Lin Yun, I just paid a little attention, and there was no need to do that.

Red Si told herself. So the whole time, she never touched the textbook in the locker again.

And just like that, another month, two months, and a long time passed. In the library, the seat that Lin Yun often chooses has been occupied.

The students who will study in the library have changed again, probably because the high school entrance examination is approaching, and many seniors in the third year of junior high school will choose to go to the library to study after school.

Red Sihe gradually couldn't stand the noisy library.

She didn't want her learning state to be affected by a noisy environment, so she took the initiative to change the place of study, and stayed in the empty classroom of the class to read after school.

In this way, another few months passed, and the students of the third year of junior high school graduated.

It wasn't until they graduated that Hong Siyu changed the place of study after school back to the library, returned to his accustomed seat, and continued to live the same life.

Then, one day, she remembered Lin Yun again.

It's as if I haven't seen him since.

Thinking of this, a moment of curiosity arose in his heart, and Hong Sihe went to the safe cabinet in the library again, and after rummaging through it, he found the textbook he had put in at the beginning.

He didn't take the book away.

For some reason, Hong Sihe was not surprised at all.

Was it because he put the book in the locker, so he didn't find it later? But he had been waiting in the library for months, and if he wanted to come there, he would tell him where the textbooks were.

She took the textbook out of the locker and gently wiped the fine dust off it with a paper towel, only to feel a little inexplicable emotion in her heart.

Should he muster up the courage to send his textbooks back to his classroom? After all, I have nothing to do with him, and I don't have any extra ideas, just sending a book, it's not a big deal, right?

Should he have waited a little longer in the library, maybe he had been here during the two months he was not in the library.

Speaking of which, he is also a junior high school student, and now that he has graduated, will he never see him again?

Holding Lin Yun's textbook, Hong Sihe stood in front of the safe, and his mind fluctuated for a while.

She felt that she had a very faint and ignorant emotion in her heart, and she became a little strange when she got this textbook.

So what is it exactly? Red thoughts and unclear. All she knew was that she had taken the book from her locker in order to keep it from being thrown away as garbage.

And then, I kept it with myself all the time.
