Chapter 2: He Really Liked You
Shen Che is a special existence for the entire Tongcheng Middle School, he only transferred in his third year of high school. In less than a month, he became the school's man of the hour.
It is rumored that his family background is not ordinary, and he is a wealthy family in Beijing. It is said that on the day he came to the school, the principal stood at the school gate with most of the school's leaders to greet him.
It is also rumored that he committed something in Beijing and was temporarily "exiled" by his family to Tongcheng, a small southern city, to avoid the limelight.
There are all kinds of rumors about what exactly happened.
Some people also said that no matter what he committed, as the only sister-in-law of the Shen family, he would still go back to take over the Shen family in the future.
Shen Che didn't come alone, he was surrounded by several good friends who played with him, and it seemed that his family background was not simple.
They are high-profile in school on weekdays, and they are eye-catching wherever they go.
is such a proud young man who stands at the top of the pyramid, but he is moved by a muddy person like Xu Zhiyi.
But Xu Zhiyi clearly knew that they were people from two worlds and should not have any intersection.
In the face of his overtures again and again, she retreated again and again until she completely pushed him out of her world.
Soon after the college entrance examination, Shen Che returned to Beijing, while she stayed in Tongcheng to study at a third-rate university.
Since then, the two have hardly crossed paths.
After graduation, Xu Zhiyi joined a financial company and lived a life of social animals who got up early and went dark.
Occasionally, she would learn some news about Shen Che from her former classmates or from the newspaper news.
At that time, he had reached a height that was difficult for ordinary people to reach.
And she was forced into the abyss step by step by life until she died.
β¦β¦
In the moment when Xu Zhiyi was distracted, Shen Che and a few of his friends had already walked over.
The moment she passed by, she seemed to feel a beam of eyes fall on her, with a faint scrutiny.
Soon, with the movement of the back table and chairs, someone sat down.
Several people surrounded Shen Che in the middle and began to talk.
"Brother Shen, this is your mistake, you don't call us for skipping class, and you don't treat us as brothers?"
"That's it, Brother Shen, what did you do in class? It's so mysterious! β
"It's not going to be a date with that schoolgirl from yesterday, right?"
"Hmm......" The young man dragged out his tone, but there was no trace of emotionless warmth in his voice: "The date is gone." β
"Cut~"
Xu Zhiyi's heart trembled, and the hand holding the pen tightened a little.
For some reason, she felt like Shen Che was saying this...... Tell her?
What happened on this day?
Xu Zhiyi tried hard to remember what happened that day, but after all, the time was too long ago, and she really couldn't remember it.
"Know!"
Suddenly, a figure ran to Xu Zhiyi's side and patted her on the shoulder heavily. Xu Zhiyi looked up a little stunned, and when he saw the face of the visitor, his pupils suddenly shrank slightly.
Dai Xi......
Different from Xu Zhiyi's cold and stunning appearance, Dai Xi has a round baby face, some small freckles on his cheeks, and a natural little curly hair, like a cute doll.
The two have always been classmates from the first year of junior high school to the third year of high school, and they are both from the same small county, so the relationship has always been very good.
At least before going to college, the two were good girlfriends who talked about everything.
However, with the end of the college entrance examination and the voluntary filling in, Xu Zhiyi was forced to stay in Tongcheng to study at a third-rate university, but Dai Xi performed exceptionally and was admitted to Beijing.
Since then, the two have drifted apart.
Distance is one thing, but more importantly, they are deliberately distancing themselves from each other......
"Zhizhi, go and go to the toilet with me!"
Looking at the smiling girl in front of him, Xu Zhiyi suppressed the strangeness in his heart and nodded: "Okay." β
In middle school, girls seemed to like to go to the toilet in groups, and it was weird to be alone.
"It's best to know!" Dai Xi affectionately grabbed Xu Zhiyi's arm and pulled her to walk outside the classroom.
However, at the moment of turning around, he quickly glanced behind him.
"Zhizhi, what did you do in the last class? Why are you so late, fortunately, you got a perfect score in the math test this time, otherwise with the temper of the exterminator, I would definitely scold you for being bloody! β
"Exterminator Shitai" is the nickname given to the math teacher by the classmates in Class 20, probably because she is too strict and old-fashioned, and she is ruthless.
"I just felt a little sick in my stomach, and I squatted in the toilet for a while." Xu Zhiyi casually made an excuse.
"Hey, by the way, I saw how your hair got wet before?"
"I accidentally got wet with water."
"Oh......" Dai Xun nodded as if he didn't understand, without thinking much about it.
Suddenly, she leaned closer to Xu Zhiyi, lowered her voice and said, "Zhizhi, I heard a big gossip today, do you want to hear it?" Looking at her mysterious appearance, Xu Zhiyi was a little curious: "What? β
"I heard that the reason why Shen Che came to our place is because he is in the capital city...... Killed! β
ββ¦β¦β
Xu Zhiyi glanced at her quietly: "Really?" β
"Don't believe it, many people say so, otherwise do you think, with the Shen family's ability, how much does Shen Che need to do before he is exiled to our small city?"
Xu Zhiyi nodded as if he didn't understand.
"Hey, it's here, do you go to the bathroom?"
While talking, the two soon arrived at the door of the toilet, and in the face of Dai Xi's inquiry, Xu Zhiyi nodded lightly: "You go, I'll wait for you at the door." β
"Okay, I'll be soon~"
Looking at Dai Xi's back, Xu Zhiyi moved the corners of his mouth, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his face.
In her previous life, she was timid and inferior, not good at socializing with others, and the only one who had a good relationship was Dai Xi.
Therefore, most of the gossip about the school and the class she heard from Dai Xi. In her previous life, she really trusted Dai Xi, and she basically believed what she said.
And among them, there are a lot of rumors about Shen Che.
For example, he has killed people; For another example, he has dated many girls in school; For example, he already has a fiancΓ©e in the capital, and he just plays with her......
After talking too much, Xu Zhiyi believed it to be true, and became more and more "respectful and distancing" to Shen Che.
It wasn't until many years later, when their class held a class reunion, that she learned some truths from the few boys who had befriended Shen Che back then.
The reason why Shen Che came to Tongcheng was not because he killed someone, nor because he committed a crime, but because there were some internal struggles in the Shen family at that time, and his parents were afraid that it would affect him, so they sent him to Tongcheng to avoid the limelight.
And most of the so-called girls who have dated Shen Che are just rumors, after all, there were not one thousand but eight hundred girls who liked him in the school back then.
Xu Zhiyi remembered that after the class reunion that day, Zhou Shikun, a boy who had always had a good relationship with Shen Che, stopped her at the door of the hotel and looked her up and down with a disdainful and complicated gaze.
Then, he shook his head slightly: "Brother Shen really liked you at that time, you said that if you followed him, how could you ...... now?"
The unfinished words are full of regret and pity, and even a hint of imperceptible ridicule.
Before leaving, he suddenly seemed to remember something, turned his head, looked at Xu Zhiyi with a complicated expression, and a smile of unknown meaning appeared on the corner of his mouth: "By the way, are you still in touch with Dai Xi?" β
