Heartbeat

"Um"

Yu Xia pulled him upstairs without saying a word.

That temperament can be compared to Wu Song fighting the tiger.

Xu An followed him aimlessly, just as Yu Xia said that he was going to kidnap someone else.

Yu Xia

Let me teach you what the heart is.

Will you hate me

Teach you the most beautiful and cruel things in this world.

…

The houses in the alley are quite old, and the newly renovated wooden doors look out of place against the old white and gray walls.

Yu Xia was glad that he remembered to bring his keys, otherwise he might have to sleep on the streets tonight.

"Are you sure you don't want to go home?" He turned the key in the door but didn't open it.

"Um."

"Xu An, if you come with me, I won't send you back." Yu Xia originally meant that it would be very troublesome if you still wanted to go back.

I don't know why it feels weird to say it.

"good."

…

Yu Xia pushed the novel in the room back slightly.

Just push it into the bookcase, and fill up two rows of bookcases in one room.

"Why so many?"

"I read quickly. When I was in junior high school, I didn't have much homework, so I finished one book a day."

Yu Xia thought back to when she was in the first grade of junior high, and she was obsessed with "Grave Robbers' Chronicles," reading it for several months, finishing all thirteen volumes. She was incredibly perseverant...

"What now?"

“Huh?” Yu Xia was a little stunned when she was suddenly pulled out of the memory. “Oh, I still watch it now, but not as often.”

There was no time for him to watch.

“Why are they all scattered around?”

"I usually just pick up a book and start reading it, then put it aside after I finish reading it."

This is a rather serious habit, as it caused Yu Xia's bookshelf to look a bit empty at first, but now she has bought more and more books, and there is really no room left.

"Why do you like reading so much?"

This person has a lot of problems today.

"The emotional line is quite strong. To me, it's like reading a homework book, teaching me the meaning of these things."

What is the meaning.

To learn those things?

"Yu Xia."

Yu Xia nodded casually and continued to arrange the books according to his favorites.

"I like you"

“…”

Because the boy stopped suddenly, the book between his fingers fell down and fell beside the bed.

"Feel the emotion?"

…

Yu Xia stood at the door of the classroom, hesitating. Should he go in and knock his deskmate to sleep with a stick, or go to the podium and pretend to be a new teacher?

He felt that something was really wrong with him recently. How could he have such evil thoughts?

Evil Little Fish

Blow bubbles. Blow bubbles. Blow bubbles. Blow bubbles.

Yu Xia was inexplicably amused and was just about to calm down and go into the classroom to find a stick when she heard someone from another building flying towards them while arguing.

I really felt like I was flying. I felt like I could ascend to heaven by just stepping on my left foot and getting to the sky.

Yu Xia: “?”

The boy was a little taller than him in his school uniform, with dark circles under his eyes. He should have looked listless, but now he was acting very flamboyantly.

The school uniform was not draped neatly, and the man brushed past Yu Xia, almost knocking him away.

The boy apologized quietly and called for help at the door of their classroom.

In fact, it is not strange that a person is standing at the door of his own class.

It’s not strange to see a stranger standing at the door of your class.

It was just a stranger standing at the door of his class calling Xu An's name. For some reason, Yu Xia felt very strange!

"Xu An! Come out! Didn't our sports committee tell you? Come and help!" The boy looked back at the place where he had just run up, and his tone was even more anxious than before, "Hurry up! If you Potatoes come later, we will be caught too!"

Yu Xia also turned around and looked at that place.

It looks like a broadcasting room.

After thinking about this sentence, I roughly guessed that the boy in front of me was a senior high school student.

He was so free that he just ran away. If the head teacher of senior high school caught him, he would definitely be asked to self-criticize again.

Another female voice came out, "Hey! Li Sitong! How long do you have to work in the evening? Can you give us some time off for evening self-study?" Liu Ning was originally writing the schedule after a few classes were adjusted on the podium. When he saw Li Sitong standing at the door, he came over to talk to her.

"Yu Xia! Why are you standing here? If the boss comes over and sees you, he'll start mic again."

Yu Xia didn't explain much. She slid the strap of her backpack off her shoulder and went in with the backpack in her hand.

When I went in, I bumped into another boy again. I guess I didn't check the almanac before going out, so why do I keep bumping into people?

Yu Xia looked up and saw Xu An apologized casually before running downstairs with the man outside.

"Where are they going?"

"Let's go to the broadcasting room. This senior class is going to do something big this year!" Zhou Yanxu was planning to pull his good brother from the next class over.

"What?"

"Brother Xia, you're not keeping up with the times." Zhou Yanxu said the last few words in a clear voice, "Our seniors want to have one last blast before the college entrance exam. They're going to... shout... building."

"Shouting in the building? Which building?" Yu Xia didn't immediately connect his real learning environment with the events in the novel.

"Brother An picked a lock when he was in the first year of high school, and now he is taking Li Sitong to pick it again." It seemed that many people in Class 1 knew this person's name, and Zhou Yanxu didn't care much whether Yu Xia wanted to ask about the process.

"They have to record first, and then they will let us out 10 minutes after the evening self-study class when the scheduled announcement sounds." Zhou Yanxu roughly mentioned a category, that is, those in the second or first year of high school. As long as they have the courage to sneak out, they might be able to waste this evening self-study period.

Okay, not too crazy.

Yu Xia thought about it and felt that there was still a bit of risk in seeing Potato's expression at that time.

Thinking back, it was quite risky for him to let Xu An into his house that Friday night. Ms. Liao Shengnan was coming back at that time, and if Xu An hadn't insisted on not staying, she would have been discovered.

It wasn't that tough. Yu Xia was acting on impulse, and Xu An gave him a way out.

Graduation Shout

But it was obvious that Xu An and the others had planned this, so why didn't anyone tell him?

Zhou Yanxu pulled Liu Hangzhou and slipped into the toilet.

Hengshui Middle School was very excited all day today.

First, the morning broadcast announced the list of winners of the class basketball game. When their class monitor brought the certificates from the Academic Affairs Office, some students with cell phones took photos.

"It's the only one in the class that hasn't been awarded. How memorable it is."

"You're so stupid! I'll give you a certificate in exchange for a cell phone for a semester. Would you be happy with it?"

"Then let's not do that."

What a class of students has the most is awards.

Yu Xia watched as they gathered around the white wall to stick certificates of achievement. Holding a water-based marker in one hand, she unconsciously tapped Xu An's arm through his school uniform jacket.

"Um?"

Xu An was surprised that Yu Xia took the initiative to talk to him.

He had tried every possible way to start a conversation this morning, using all sorts of obvious ways, but to no avail.

"Did the teacher catch you guys going to the broadcasting room?"

"No, but it wouldn't matter if we got caught."

Xu Anle giggled, with a hint of tenderness between her eyebrows.

"……Um"

Yu Xia drew a square root on the draft book, and at the end, he hooked the tip of the pen, and the ink flew out.

“…”

"Did this question bother you?"

No

But you pissed me off.

Yu Xia didn't reply to express her indignation.

"You didn't even tell me."

The boy next to him was also distracted while writing his math homework, and didn't react immediately to what his deskmate said.

It took a few seconds before he answered.

"I promised before."

Yu Xia nodded.

He stole a glance at Xu An. The boy's coat was unzipped, the collar a little open from having just returned from outside. The corners of his eyes were still slightly tilted upwards, giving him a gentle look. He knew more than others, always the one who took the overall situation into consideration and protected the child.

But Yu Xia saw that night that the boy huddled in the corner under the moonlight seemed to be trembling.

…

Finally made it through the day.

Sitting at the back of the classroom, I watched the front window, scrubbed clean. It felt like a mirror reflecting the branches outside. It was hazy, indistinct, impossible to touch or see.

Yu Xia slept with her forehead resting on her elbows. Perhaps because she was thin, it was not comfortable for her to lean on them. Her bones were hard, and it hurt slightly whether she rested her hands on the table or her head on her arms.

I was startled by the sudden broadcast, and only then did I realize that the person next to me had left.

The substitute teacher is teaching Class 1 this evening study session.

The male teacher was sitting on the podium guarding the quiet classroom when he was interrupted by the sudden broadcast.

"Did you record it? Is there any sound?" The original voice at the beginning was a girl's, and then another voice that Yu Xia was very familiar with rang out, "There is sound."

The substitute teacher just realized what was happening. He turned around and looked at the seat in the back row of the classroom and saw that it was empty.

The broadcast continued, and because it was recorded, no one interrupted them.

"Hello, classmates. The college entrance exam is not far away. I believe you have all lost yourself in studying and have lost sight of the sun and the moon."

Yu Xia listened with great interest.

"I also hope that our Tu... Director Li, ah, please don't be so anxious to come over and grab the microphone."

Even though each class had its door closed, bursts of laughter could be heard through the soundproof doors in the corridor.

"Seniors in the third year of high school, you will get your shouting. Director Li, the sophomore, you will get your letter of apology as well."

…

Is this the legendary fearlessness of facing death?

"Now, please ask the seniors to leave the classroom and go to the corridor! Don't worry about your teachers; they will probably wake up in the conference room in about five minutes."

The sound of stools being pushed around in the building next door had even reached other classes, and the students in Class 1 also felt that someone from the same grade had gone out.

"Oh, damn, our teacher didn't leave, how did they get out?" Zhou Yanxu said in a low voice.

"Didn't you hear? It's okay as long as you're brave." Yu Xia put down the pen, leaned back, and put the few red pens on the edge of the table, which would run out of ink if they fell, back into the drawer.

Zhou Yanxu clearly sensed something, "Brother Xia?? What are you going to do?"

"You're so brave that you don't dare to do anything." After saying this, Yu Xia pulled his wrinkled coat and went out through the back door.

After the first person goes out, more people will want to go out.

Several high school teachers gathered together and looked at the group of people gathered around the corridor railing.

I don’t know which female teacher started complaining first, “Fortunately, I didn’t plan to teach today.”

"It's hard for the senior teachers. But they should have known about it a long time ago."

"Oh, a few little brats can't hold it all together."

"Let them have some fun. The exam is coming up soon, so they need to relax at least."

"Yes, we have a competition in our second year of high school..."

The voices gradually faded away, and after Yu Xia passed through the crowd, she no longer heard the gossip.

It was completely dark, with only scattered lights left beside the school flower beds.

A few young couples who had somehow skipped evening self-study classes were still strolling leisurely nearby.

The broadcast is still going on, and the countdown is almost over.

When Yu Xia walked down the stairs, he almost stepped on the fifth floor in one step. He must not fall, handsome guys should have some dignity.

Yu Xia was a little surprised at her own thoughts.

"Xu An!"

Turning to a blind spot on the stairs, you can see a tall figure standing next to the door of the broadcasting room.

"Good evening, Xiao Yu~"

Xu An was watching to see if any teacher would force his way in. When he saw Yu Xia, his expressionless face suddenly lit up with color and warmth.

"three--"

The boy was a little out of breath because he had just run, so he supported himself on his knees and took a break for a while.

"two--"

Xu An couldn't help but touch his hair, and moved away the next second when Yu Xia glared at him.

"one--"

"Yu Xia"

"Xu An"

The two people spoke almost at the same time, both a little stunned.

Yu Xia reacted almost in the next second, not giving Xu An time to open his mouth and make a joke.

He always felt that

There are some things that you can no longer grasp.

If I miss this time,

I don’t know when we will meet again.

Or, if he doesn't speak this time, he will never dare to speak again.

"We--" The crowd waited for the countdown to end, the sound even louder than the previous broadcast.

Yu Xia's voice seemed a little soft, and she tried very hard to control it, which made it seem strangely calm. But because they were so close, Xu An still heard it clearly.

"Xu An, do you want to fall in love?"

Mixed with the voices of two grades and a small number of freshmen, the youth of that year was always uncertain.

"Sincere passion - passing the college entrance examination."

At that moment, the last two words finally broke into Xu An's mind calmly.

"With me"
