From high school to university, Liang Qiyun harbored a secret crush on Zhou Mingzheng for seven years.
In the eighth year, she started dating, and her boyfriend wasn't him.
Zhou Min...
The sunset glow that night was so beautiful. When the green light came on, the two of them naturally walked side by side, heading in the same direction.
From the time they entered school until now, even though they were deskmates recently, Liang Qiyun had never walked side by side with Zhou Mingzheng.
They would sit side by side in the classroom, interact with each other during group discussions, and even greet each other after school.
But most of the time, Zhou Mingzheng walked with Tang Di, while Liang Qiyun mostly stayed in the classroom, either reading or doing homework, or eating and chatting with Huang Xiyun.
She was shy to take the initiative to talk to Zhou Mingzheng.
After crossing the road, L Middle School is right in front of you.
Walking on the familiar green school road, the dim lights have been turned on, making the atmosphere even more quiet.
There were also many classmates coming back around, their suitcases rolling across the ground as they rushed to the classroom.
Liang Qiyun thought of Zhou Mingzheng's question just now, but the green light came on as soon as she finished speaking, and she still hadn't answered.
She looked sideways at the young man beside her. His handsome face became even warmer in the soft light, immersed in the kind of youthful vigor that she longed for in the atmosphere of time.
"I didn't bring the heavy textbooks back on Friday, so I came back tonight specifically to do my homework." Liang Qiyu explained softly.
She restrained herself, fearing to disturb such a night.
"If Old Liu knew this, he would definitely be happy." Zhou Mingzheng chuckled.
His clear and hearty laughter always makes people's hearts beat faster.
Liang Qiyun knew that he was just joking and had no other intentions.
The boys seem to have a sense of familiarity with male teachers and like to use this term of address.
For example, the head teacher Liu Tao is called Lao Liu, and the physics teacher is called Lao Wang.
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but chuckle, as gentle as the evening breeze blowing through, drifting among the green shade.
The classroom is emptier on Sunday night.
If it is the senior year of high school, there will be quite a few day students returning to school for evening self-study.
But they are now in the first year of high school, and Liang Qiyun is the only day student back in the classroom.
Fortunately, although other people in the class were surprised, they did not ask too many questions, so Liang Qiyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
She hurriedly took out the remaining unfinished exercise book and started doing it.
The bell for evening study rang, and the slightly noisy classroom became quiet.
Liang Qiyun finished an assignment and changed to another exercise book. She glanced at Zhou Mingzheng who was reading the book.
He sat casually, not as stiff as he usually did during class or evening self-study. His long legs stretched out to the aisle, of course because no one was walking around at that moment.
His elbows were on the desk, his broad palms resting on the back of his head. He leaned half-way toward the aisle on the left, his other hand occasionally turning pages in a book.
Especially comfortable.
Seeing that he didn't notice her from this angle, Liang Qiyun just let him be and stared at his back for a while.
Then he continued to do his homework.
"I'm going back first. See you tomorrow."
After the bell rang, Liang Qiyun stood up, carrying her empty schoolbag. After thinking for a moment, she decided to say something to Zhou Mingzheng who was standing beside her.
At that time, Zhou Mingzheng was talking to Tang Di in the front row. After hearing Liang Qiyun's farewell, he still looked over patiently, nodded and smiled, "Okay, see you tomorrow."
There were already several cars parked on the side of the road outside L Middle School. Liang Qiyun saw her own car at a glance and walked over.
Soon the Volkswagen was driving on the road. Liang Kangcheng was paying attention to the road conditions in the car and asked, "Yunyun, are you tired tonight? Can you bear it?"
The light ahead turned red and the car stopped. He looked up at the rearview mirror and saw that his daughter looked normal and not too tired. He felt relieved.
Facing her parents' concern, Liang Qiyun always had enough patience. She smiled and replied, "Dad, I'm fine. I've had enough rest at home today. It's not too tiring to come out for evening self-study at this time."
"I'm glad you're not tired. Dad was just worried that your body couldn't take it." Liang Kangcheng's brows relaxed as his daughter spoke.
The green light came on, and he focused on driving without speaking. Road safety has always been Liang Kangcheng's biggest concern.
His every move concerns the safety of his family's lives, and he dare not relax even a little bit.
In the class meeting on Monday, after Liu Tao talked about the recent class learning situation and the problems reported by the teachers of each subject, he smiled again,
"You should have heard that the school sports meet will be held next Friday. I will give the registration forms for various competitions to the Sports Committee soon. Everyone who is capable and interested should sign up."
He paused and continued, "There will be an entrance performance at the opening ceremony of the school sports meet. Since we are in the first year of high school, we also need to design the class flag and emblem. There are many things to do and time is tight, so the publicity committee and the cultural and entertainment committee will be responsible for it. The students are trying their best to cooperate."
Seeing that the students in the audience were immersed in the excitement and joy of the coming school sports meeting, Liu Tao rarely became serious. He said seriously, "Although I usually say that learning is important, we are a key class and we must take the lead. But the school sports meeting is also a good time to show the class spirit and cohesion. I hope everyone can participate in it and bring honor to the class."
"Let's not talk about competing for first place, but at least don't be at the bottom. This is my only request."
Liang Qiyun was listening attentively in the audience and couldn't help but sigh.
Liu Tao is different from the previous head teachers of key junior high schools. He pays attention to students' academic performance and encourages them to actively participate in sports activities. He does not think that this is a waste of time.
She was also worried that she would not be able to sign up for the school sports meet, but her classmates would definitely have some thoughts about this.
After all, it was already eye-catching enough that she didn't participate in training during physical education classes.
This class meeting ended like this.
During the break, Tang Di excitedly turned around and said to Zhou Mingzheng, "What event are you going to sign up for? High jump is definitely for sure."
"I must sign up for the high jump, and the others will depend on the situation when the time comes." Zhou Mingzheng was calm and composed when talking about this.
He smiled and replied, it was rare that he didn't argue with Tang Di. Usually, even if they asked a random question, they would always hurt each other for a while.
Tang Di immediately smiled as if he had expected it. He shared with Huang Xiyun and Liang Qiyun, "Did you know that Zhou Mingzheng broke our school record in the high jump when he was in junior high school?"
He and Zhou Mingzheng went to the same junior high school.
"What projects do you want to apply for?" he asked again.
Huang Xiyun pondered for a moment, then said with a smile, "Maybe I'll sign up for the female lead 4x100m relay. I'm good at sprinting."
"Very good. What about you, Liang Qiyun?" Tang Di nodded in agreement and turned the topic back to Liang Qiyun.
Liang Qiyun was worried when Tang Di started talking to them, and now she really heard him asking these questions.
She was stunned for a moment and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say so as not to sound particularly weird.
