Xu Yangyang

On the day of first-grade registration, Xu Yangyang met Zhu Changyu for the first time. He was being chased on the playground by a mad stray dog ​​that had sneaked into the campus, and he was crying loudly in fear.

Xu Yangyang, who was deeply influenced by the Monkey King Sun Wukong since childhood and loved to be a hero, immediately picked up a long branch and ran over to help Zhu Changyu drive away the dog.

She kept waving branches to scare the dog, and eventually the dog ran away, but Zhu Changyu was still crying. Xu Yangyang tried to comfort him, but he kept backing away as if he was scared.

Facing this coward, she had no choice but to throw away the branch and gave him a bright smile, "Don't be afraid, I won't bully you."

"My name is Xu Yangyang, what's your name?" She reached out to pull him, and Zhu Changyu stopped sobbing and held her hand, "Zhu, Chang, Yu."

Her mother called her from a distance, and Xu Yangyang quickly let go of her hand, "Goodbye."

Xu Yangyang walked over to her mother. She noticed obvious mud stains on the hem of her white school uniform pants and started muttering again, "Which girl is already in the first grade like you? You can't be so naughty. You need to study hard."

"Mom, I want a puppy. I promise I will study hard after I have a puppy." Xu Yangyang looked at her mother earnestly.

But she said, "Why keep a dog? It's so dirty and might have fleas. No way."

Xu Yangyang pouted, feeling unhappy and uninterested in studying. She even considered pretending to be sick and not going to school. However, her mother always saw through her attempts, so she had no choice but to stay in the classroom.

But she found out that Zhu Changyu was in the same class as her and was her deskmate. He always liked to put candies in her desk. Whenever she dropped something, he would bend down to pick it up. He also liked to follow her during physical education classes and mingle with the girls.

Someone asked her, "Xu Yangyang, why did you bring a boy to join us?"

Zhu Changyu had no other friends, so to prevent him from being kicked out, she had to say, "He's my puppy, let him play with us!"

She was the boss, so once she acted coquettishly, the other kids agreed. Later, everyone knew that Zhu Changyu was Xu Yangyang's follower, and no one dared to bully him.

Perhaps Zhu Changyu wanted to thank her, so he not only followed her to school, but also followed her after school. Even though his home was not close, he insisted on escorting her home every day.

Xu Yangyang is a talkative person, and he just happened to be in need of someone to chat with on the way home from school. As they chatted, they really became each other's best friends.

Xu Yangyang was playful, and Zhu Changyu wasn't as playful, but he was still willing to play with her. They played and joked almost every day, whether it was a holiday or not.

The good times didn't last long. When she was in third grade, her parents divorced, and her mother placed all her hopes on her. But Xu Yangyang's grades were terrible, and she was so worried that she sent her to cram school and even made her learn calligraphy to improve her temper.

Her mother came to pick her up in person every afternoon and also assigned her to different classes. Zhu Changyu was no longer in the same class as her and was not on the same floor, so they could only see each other a few times a week.

"I think drum set is more interesting, calligraphy is not interesting at all..." Xu Yangyang took the opportunity to talk to Zhu Changyu for a long time. By the end, she had forgotten what she had said before.

Time is pushed forward by these conversations.

In fifth grade, Xu Yangyang was obsessed with a lottery game that became popular at school. With limited pocket money, Zhu Changyu offered her his entire wallet, and she didn't hesitate. However, she was unlucky and always failed to win the jackpot, leaving her feeling dejected.

Zhu Changyu would always comfort her, "You will definitely win next time."

This time he never came.

Sixth grade was about to graduate, and Zhu Changyu mysteriously called her to the playground. Xu Yangyang had just had an argument with her mother over her final exam results, and when she saw Zhu Changyu just took out his homemade lottery card and gave it to her, she felt bad and didn't want to play anymore. She just stuffed the lottery card into her pocket and said, "Childish, this game is already outdated."

It's not just the games that are outdated, but also the boys' clumsiness.

When they entered junior high school, Xu Yangyang and Zhu Changyu were assigned to the same class. She was very happy and still wanted everything to be the same as before, but Zhu Changyu had changed.

He hated her jokingly calling him her puppy, which might have been offensive to him. "Can you treat me like a boy?"

"Okay, okay, I won't joke around anymore." Xu Yangyang cherishes her friendship with Zhu Changyu.

It must be because he reached puberty, he changed a lot, no longer always agreeing with her, sometimes teasing her, arguing with her and quarreling with her, and he was a little annoying compared to before.

Once, they had a quarrel and went into a cold war. On the way home from school, Xu Yangyang suddenly found blood stains on her pants. She was at a loss and didn't know what to do.

She thought Zhu Changyu had gone home, but she didn't expect him to be waiting for her at the corner. She cried in front of him for the first time, "Zhu Changyu, I'm bleeding. It seems to be the menstrual period that the biology teacher said."

Without saying a word, he took off his coat and tied it around her waist. Before Xu Yangyang could react, he picked her up again and strode towards home.

That was also the first time she realized that Zhu Changyu was a strong and reliable boy.

No, I just feel strong occasionally.

Maybe it's because he has been playing with girls since he was a child, and he has a soft personality, so he doesn't get along well with boys.

One day, after evening self-study, Xu Yangyang found Zhu Changyu blocked by gangsters at the entrance of an alley.

In the past few years, she secretly learned Taekwondo from her neighbor's brother. With her bold personality, she was not afraid at all. She simply grabbed a stick, went into the alley, and beat any yellow-haired person she saw, just like she chased the dog away in the past.

She extended her hand to him, who was sitting on the ground with bruises all over his face, and jokingly said, "Zhu Changyu, I saved you for the second time. Please pledge yourself to me!"

"Okay." Zhu Changyu held her hand.

Xu Yangyang pulled him up. He stood up straight but didn't let go of her hand. She blinked and said, "Please buy me some ice cream."

He released his hand, "Oh, okay."

The next day, Xu Yangyang was surrounded by girls in her class. They said they saw her holding hands with Zhu Changyu yesterday, and that he had even carried her like a princess. They asked if they were together.

Xu Yangyang was a little surprised and annoyed, and raised her voice, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm obsessed with looks, okay? Zhu Changyu is not handsome and is not my type at all."

"If anyone says that again, I'll be angry!" After she finished speaking, she turned to Zhu Changyu who entered the classroom through the back door. He responded hoarsely, "She's right."

Xu Yangyang is indeed obsessed with looks, and she's also fickle. She's obsessed with all good-looking people. In her second year of middle school, she was madly infatuated with G-Dragon. In her third year, she fell in love at first sight with the teaching assistant at her cram school. In her first year of high school, she had a crush on Zhu Changyu's bandmate, Fu Xingchuan, and her cold-faced deskmate, Ruan Ye...

There are countless of them, all of which are short-lived.

"What's the point of having a pretty face? Most men with pretty faces are scumbags." Zhu Changyu said. Xu Yangyang asked back: "I would be willing to be with a scumbag even if he has a pretty face. Don't you care about appearance?"

She suddenly became curious. "Don't you have someone you like? Have you been checking the campus forums recently? There's a very beautiful girl in our grade, and all the boys in the class like her! What about you?"

"I heard from Fu Xingchuan that you have someone you like. Who is it? Tell me the truth."

"I...of course I like her too."

"If you like her, just pursue her boldly. Do you want me to give you some advice?" Xu Yangyang asked with a smile.

"No need!" Zhu Changyu said sternly and left without looking back.

The direction he was heading was exactly the class of the pretty girl. Xu Yangyang nodded with satisfaction at his strong mobility and turned back to the classroom to sleep.

At night, the wind blew through the treetops, and raindrops pelted the green leaves. Xu Yangyang had a restless sleep, and when she woke up, she realized she was late. This was the first time in all her years of school that she had been late. It seemed as if the heavens were hinting at something.

How could the carefree Xu Yangyang think deeply? She just wanted to pretend to have a stomachache and ask for leave to skip Cheng Kaizhong's class.

Back in the classroom, Xu Yangyang noticed that there was someone sitting next to her. She guessed it was a transfer student, and she was right.

After breaking up with Tian Yajun, she had no female friends. Fortunately, Lin Luo came and introduced the school beauty Tong Yun to them.

She was extremely happy. Now she had friends and could help Zhu Changyu pursue his girlfriend. However, the man himself was completely lost in thought and didn't take any action. His grades were already bothering him, so she let him go and let him do what he wanted.

There was a handsome guy living in a neighborhood not far from her home. He seemed to be a sports student from No. 1 Middle School. Xu Yangyang was attracted to him. In order to make it easier for her to get to know him, Xu Yangyang said to Zhu Changyu, "Let's go back to our separate homes after school."

Zhu Changyu stopped. The streetlight was dim, and Xu Yangyang couldn't see his expression. She only heard a low voice, "Okay."

He made friends with Fang Shao very smoothly, and as they gradually became familiar with each other, they naturally got together.

Fang Shaozeng asked her inexplicably, "Does Zhu Changyu like you?

"There's no way he likes me, even if you kill me. He likes Tong Yun and follows him around every day. I'm thankful he doesn't quarrel with me. How could he possibly like me?" Xu Yangyang said firmly.

"I think he's targeting me?"

Xu Yangyang also felt it. She asked Zhu Changyu why, and he said, "He doesn't look like a good person at first glance."

Xu Yangyang didn't believe his one-sided story. Since there was a difference between men and women, she deliberately distanced herself from Zhu Changyu. The incident in the cafeteria had further cooled their relationship. During this process, he also gradually grew closer to Tong Yun.

Xu Yangyang didn't take it seriously at first, but Zhu Changyu was right; Fang Shao wasn't a good person. On the day their premature love affair was discovered, Fang Shao lied and his mother yelled at him in the office, leaving her feeling devastated.

After scolding her enough, her mother left her and went away. Zhu Changyu was still waiting for her at the door.

She couldn't help crying. Zhu Changyu carried her on his back, and she didn't dare go home. He coaxed her, saying, "Where is the fearless Xu Yangyang? It's okay, your mother was just angry for a moment."

"Then you come home with me and take the beating for me."

"Xu Yangyang, how can you be so heartless?"

When he said that, Xu Yangyang started sobbing again, "What should I do?"

She was about to fall, and Zhu Changyu shook her. "How about I stand at the door? If you call me, I'll rush in. How about that?"

"Yeah." Xu Yangyang rested her chin on his shoulder and lowered her eyes to see the Zhu Bajie accessory hanging on the bag he was carrying. "This is a gift I gave you. You must always carry it with you."

"good."

The heat of mid-July hit Xu Yangyang, who fell asleep leaning on Zhu Changyu's broad shoulders. When she opened her eyes again, it was the 42nd day that she was trapped at the cram school desk by her mother. She really couldn't stand it anymore.

While her mother wasn't paying attention, she sneaked out of the house, wandered around, and came to a dessert shop in a snack street. She suddenly missed the taste and decided to go to Huaicheng.

Not having that much money on him, Xu Yangyang turned his gaze to Qi Yao in the store. "Hey, Brother Yao, I was in a hurry to go out and didn't bring any money with me. Can you lend me two hundred yuan? Zhu Changyu will guarantee it for me, and I promise to pay you back."

Qi Yao raised his eyelids to look at her, and perhaps for Zhu Changyu's sake, he took out two hundred yuan and gave it to her.

For unlucky Xu Yangyang, the journey she had just taken was certainly not going to be smooth. Her cell phone was broken, she had no money to go back, and she would be scolded if she went back.

She begged the owner of the food stall next to the hotel to give her a meal, and suddenly Lin Luo and Zhu Changyu appeared in front of her.

At that moment, she felt extremely lucky.

After returning to Nan'an, Xu Yangyang was kicked out of the hospital by Aunt Du. Zhu Changyu was standing opposite her. They had not seen each other for a while because they had chatted online. Xu Yangyang looked him up and down.

Zhu Changyu noticed her gaze and said, "I'm sorry, I accidentally lost the birthday present you gave me."

Before Xu Yangyang could say anything, Qi Yao arrived, breathless, pointing at Xu Yangyang and launching into a barrage of complaints. "Fuck, I thought something had happened to you. Have you ever thought about what would happen if something went wrong? I gave you the money, how would I explain it to your mom? Do you want to kill me?"

Qi Yao pointed his arm with bulging veins at Xu Yangyang. She stared at him without blinking and was instantly attracted by him.

Zhu Changyu wanted Qi Yao to shut up, but Xu Yangyang smiled at him and said to Zhu Changyu: "It's lost, so it's lost. I'll give it to you next time. You can take Tong Yun back."

Zhu Changyu hesitated for a moment, glanced at Qi Yao, then looked at her for a few seconds before responding, "Okay."

After taking two steps, he added, "Xu Yangyang, goodbye."
