Wish Wall

"Why are you wearing the flag squad uniform?" Lin Qiao took the tissue and wiped away her tears.

"We're going to shoot a flag-raising scene later, and someone from the flag-raising team has asked for leave, so let me take over."

"oh."

Fu Xingchuan asked: "Why are you crying?"

Lin Luo couldn't explain why she suddenly burst into tears. Her brain suddenly short-circuited, and she said, "I'm so impressed by your handsomeness."

Fu Xingchuan coughed twice at the side. Without his shadow to block the view, the scorching sunlight poured down, making it difficult for Lin Luo to open her eyes. She lowered her head and wiped her face before standing up.

Fu Xingchuan turned around, and Lin Luo noticed that his cheeks were also slightly flushed. Thinking that although the uniform looked good, it must be hot to wear, she asked, "Why are you here?"

"I came to look for Zhu Changyu. I don't know where he went to slack off."

"Oh." Lin Luo saw that his ears were also sunburned and was worried that he might have a heat stroke. "Let's go back!"

They walked along the tree-lined avenue, where layers of leaves completely blocked out the sun. A gust of wind blew, and the leaves rustled and swayed. Lin Luo suddenly thought of orange soda, a sweetness that seemed to carry with it in the wind.

She remembered Zhu Changyu saying that Fu Xingchuan liked to travel alone during his vacation, wandering around the world like a backpacker. She asked curiously, "Fu Xingchuan, what are you planning to do during your summer vacation?"

"I haven't decided yet." Before she knew where to go, or even whether to go at all, Fu Xingchuan asked her, "What about you?"

"I need tutoring."

"Have you signed up for classes?"

Lin Qi told him: "No, Ruan Ye helped me make up for it."

Fu Xingchuan sneered, "He is so kind-hearted."

Of course not, because she has something on him, Lin Luo thought. Although Ruan Ye didn't tell her not to tell others, she thought it would be better not to say anything. So she said, "Aunt Li said he has never had any friends, and maybe he suddenly realized the importance of friendship, so he is being nice to us!"

"By the way, wasn't he supposed to come and help? Why can't I see him?" Lin Luo looked towards the place where the parasols were set up not far away, looking for Ruan Ye's figure.

Fu Xingchuan stood in front of her, blocking her view, and she hurriedly stopped.

He put on his hat. Beneath the brim, his face was handsome, his features distinct and deep. His gaze was resolute, adding a touch of heroism. His eyelashes trembled slightly, and Lin Luo had the urge to touch him, but she resisted. Fu Xingchuan said, "How is it?"

"What...how is it?" Lin Luo spoke so quickly that she almost bit her tongue.

"Didn't you just say I was handsome? What about now? I'm going to be on camera." After he said that, he gestured to her lower body. Then the teacher in charge of the volunteers walked towards them. He must be looking for Fu Xingchuan, who had been away for too long.

Lin Luo saw Tong Yun. She had changed back into her school uniform, but her makeup was still on. Her filming had ended, and she was probably waiting for them.

Lin Qi turned her gaze back, wondering if Fu Xingchuan wore this outfit just to show it to Tong Yun.

"Very good." She felt inexplicably sad. "You are tall, it suits you very well."

Fu Xingchuan pulled his lip, "No more?"

"Um... can you goose-step?"

"Won't."

"Then what should we do..." Lin Xiao said as the teacher walked over to them. Fu Xingchuan turned his back and started to complain, "Teacher, this student is neglecting her duties. Don't give her the lunch coupon later."

Was he angry? Why? Lin Luo was puzzled. But Zhu Sui'an was right, he was a bad guy.

The teacher glanced at her, pulled Fu Xingchuan and said as they walked, "You still have time to manage others, and you are also neglecting your duties! Director Wang is here to supervise, you should hurry over!"

Fu Xingchuan stood inside the national flag formation.

Lin Luo walked over to the parasol and sat next to Tong Yun. She asked, "Why didn't Zhu Changyu come back with you?"

"Maybe he sneaked out to play!" Lin Luo guessed.

She turned her head to look at Tong Yun. She was so beautiful that Lin Luo couldn't take her eyes away. Tong Yun noticed her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Ruan Ye is going to give me extra lessons at our house during the holidays. Do you want to come and take part in the master class?" Lin Luo asked with a smile.

"Ruan Ye is helping you with your studies. Would he mind if I go?"

"He shouldn't mind, right?" It's not too much to use this as leverage against someone else, right? Lin Luo thought seriously.

Tong Yun took a piece of paper and wiped a drop of water off her face, "Then I'm sorry to bother you."

"Tang Muchen must be very happy to know that you will come to our house during the holidays. Last time we went to the park together, you held his hand. If you didn't know me, you would think you were his real sister!"

Lin Luo realized something as she spoke, and murmured softly, "I'm not his biological sister either."

"You're not my biological sister, but you're like one." Tong Yun looked at her. "He's just polite to me, but he's very attached to you."

"Really?" Lin Luo didn't feel that Tang Muchen was clinging to her.

The filming started in front, and Fu Xingchuan marched with the team. He stood out in the crowd, and his movements were more standard than those of the real flag squad, as if he had practiced in advance.

Lin Luo stared intently, and only looked away when someone came up to her and asked, "Classmate, can you give me a bottle of water?"

"Sure." Lin Qiao took out a bottle from a box of mineral water next to her and offered it to the boy, but he didn't take it. He pointed at Tong Yun and said, "I'm asking about her."

Lin Luo understood, and gave the water to Tong Yun, who then passed it to him. The boy looked at the bottle of water handed to him by the goddess with a smile on his face.

"Why is he so happy?" Tong Yun asked.

Lin Qiao moved the box of mineral water in front of her and said with a smile, "Because you are beautiful, they like you, so the water you gave them may taste sweeter to them."

Tong Yun blushed. Lin Luo looked at the row of boys across from her who seemed to be coming over and said to her, "You do it! Otherwise, if the water can't be distributed, I won't be able to get the meal coupon."

"good."

The meal vouchers were a reward for the volunteer activities. They agreed to go to the cafeteria to eat together after getting the meal vouchers, but in fact, Lin Luo didn’t care at all whether she could get them or not. She came to volunteer to see Fu Xingchuan, and the meal vouchers were just a bonus.

Her eyes drifted back and forth, sometimes to Fu Xingchuan, sometimes to the director, sometimes to Fu Xingchuan, and sometimes to Director Wang.

When she looked at Fu Xingchuan again, he had finished filming and was walking towards them. Lin Luo saw that there was only one bottle of water left in the box. She wanted to pick it up and give it to Fu Xingchuan, but Tong Yun got there first.

"Give."

"Thank you." Fu Xingchuan took it.

Lin Luo pursed her lips and looked away.

"You are neglecting your duties again," Fu Xingchuan said, talking to her. Lin Luo looked over.

Tong Yun explained to him, "No, it's because...Xiaoxiao said that the water I dispensed would be sweeter for them, so I dispensed it for her."

Another boy came over and asked for water. Fu Xingchuan handed him the bottle. The boy took it, unscrewed it, and drank most of it. Fu Xingchuan said to them, "Water is just water. It doesn't matter who gives it to you. It won't become sweeter."

"I'll go change my clothes first." He glanced at Lin Luo and left.

Tong Yun was worried that Fu Xingchuan would complain, causing Lin Qi to lose the meal voucher. "Do you want me to explain it to him again, or give you my meal voucher?"

Lin Luo shook his head, pressed his lips and said to her, "No need."

They packed up and prepared to wait for Fu Xingchuan to come back to get the meal coupons for dinner. Someone came over and said to Tong Yun, "Your class teacher wants to see you."

"Xiaoxiao, I have to go find Teacher Ding first. You guys go eat!"

"good."

Tong Yun left, and almost all the staff in charge of filming had also left. Lin Luo picked up the mineral water bottles scattered on the site and put them in the trash can. Fu Xingchuan's words rang in her ears, and she thought of the orange soda again.

Fu Xingchuan changed his clothes and came out. He saw Lin Luo standing at the door with her back to him, and his mouth suddenly became dry.

"Let's go!" He walked out, lowered his head and kicked away the stones blocking the road.

Lin Xiao handed him a bottle of orange soda and said, "Here."

He looked up and saw that no one answered.

"A bribe for you," she said sweetly.

Fu Xingchuan took it and said, "I really want the meal voucher, but the food in the cafeteria is not tasty."

"That depends on who you're drinking it with." Same principle as water.

Fu Xingchuan swallowed his saliva and asked, "With whom?"

Lin Luo clenched the soda bottle tightly in her hand, "Let's eat together with you...you guys!"

He casually asked, "Oh, where are the others?"

"Teacher Ding is looking for Tong Yun. She can't eat with us. Let's go find Zhu Changyu!"

"Okay." He said as he took out his cell phone from his pocket, probably sending a message to Zhu Changyu.

Not long after, Zhu Changyu replied. He showed it to Lin Luo, saying that Xu Yangyang's premature love affair had been discovered, and her mother had come to the school to make a scene. Zhu Changyu also knew about this and therefore skipped the volunteer activities.

Lin Xiao's brows were tinged with worry. "I'll go find her."

Another message popped up on his phone. Fu Xingchuan glanced at it and pulled Lin Luo aside, "She's already gone home. Let's go eat!"

Lin Luo followed him, her mind full of Xu Yangyang. Before she knew it, she had followed him out of the school gate. She asked, "Where are we going?"

"Have a meal."

If you are alone, why not go out to eat?

"What do you want to eat?" he asked.

Lin Luo had no appetite at first, but she thought about it seriously. It was dinner time, and every shop in the snack street in front of the school gate was crowded. Lin Luo thought that he probably didn't like crowded shops.

She didn't answer until they reached the end of the street, and Fu Xingchuan asked her, "I haven't made up my mind yet."

Lin Luo noticed a shop at the very end. It was empty and not many people were around. From the outside, the shop looked quite clean. She pointed at it and said to Fu Xingchuan, "Why don't we go to that one?"

"OK."

The shop was an ordinary noodle shop, nothing special. The strange thing was that there was only one table of customers. The owner of the shop came over and greeted them warmly, "What do you want to eat, handsome guy and beautiful girl?"

"I want some noodles with soybean paste." Lin Xiao said, then turned to look at Fu Xingchuan. He was looking at a wall in the store covered with a few scattered sticky notes. She asked, "What about you?"

"Same."

"Okay, two bowls of noodles with soybean paste. Please take a seat first. It will be ready soon."

"Yeah." Lin Luo walked to Fu Xingchuan and looked at the sticky notes on the wall with him.

[I will definitely win the college entrance examination. I want to score 560.]

【I want to go to Jay Chou’s concert. 】

…

[Classmate Y, the journey is long and the mountains are high, may you have smooth sailing.]

This one was stuck on top, hidden behind the other sticky notes. Just below it was another sticky note of the same color that read: [I hope to go to Kyoto University with classmate Y.]

The handwriting on both pieces of paper is identical.

Lin Qi's gaze lingered on the piece of paper below. Could it be that the poster of that secret crush post was also from No. 1 Middle School? What a small world!

"Here's some paper and a pen. You can write and stick it on." The boss came over and said to them. Lin Luo took the sticky note and pen and handed it to Fu Xingchuan. "Do you want to write?"

"Don't write, it's childish." He said this, but still stayed in front of the wall.

"Then I'll write it."

After Lin Luo finished writing, she held it in her hand and looked at it again and again. Her handwriting was getting better and better. Although it was still not particularly beautiful, it at least looked much more pleasing to the eye and very square.

On the front it says: [I hope my math score can improve to 100 points - LX]

"What did you write?" Fu Xingchuan took two steps closer to her and asked, "Let me see if your handwriting has improved?"

Lin Luo quickly covered the sticky note with her hand to prevent him from seeing it. "You can't look at it. If you do, it won't work."

"This is not a wishing wall." He raised the corner of his mouth.

Lin Luo pointed at the label "Wish Wall" at the top of the wall and looked at him pitifully.

"Okay, I won't read it, you post it."

Lin Xiao put the sticky note next to classmate Y's and said to him, "Let's sit down!"

Lin Luo walked in front, feeling uneasy and with a lot of black ink on her hands.

Fu Xingchuan walked towards a table near her, and passed by the place where she had just stood without stopping. He resisted the urge to peek. As he walked past, a gust of wind was raised, and all the sticky notes on the wall were blown by the wind.

The words on the back of the sticky note Lin Luo had just written were revealed: [May FXC students be safe and happy throughout their lives.]

I like you and I really want you to know, but only the wind knows.
