Chen Xiyu liked a boy, and no one knew except for her.
Tan Zhao liked a girl, and everyone knew except for her.
Tan Zhao: "I want to give you all my tenderness and favoritism, and s...
remember
Even after school today, Chen Xiyu couldn't help wondering why Yang Xiaoxiao targeted her like this. She also couldn't believe that the surveillance camera was broken just when she needed it. There had to be a truth to all this.
Chen Xiyu had something on her mind. Tan Zhao spoke to her several times, but she just supported her head and responded with "hmm", "ah", and "ok".
Tan Zhao frowned, turned his head away, opened a physics competition book and started doing exercises.
After school, Tan Zhao took the exercise book to Class 1 to find Meng Qianfan. The two met because of the physics teacher, who often asked them to get new physics competition questions together. The two occasionally discussed them together in the office. After a few times, their ideas collided and they gradually became familiar with each other.
Jiang Hui nodded, carrying her schoolbag, "What's the matter, Xiaoyu?"
Chen Xiyu leaned close to Jiang Hui's ear, and Jiang Hui got angry and asked, "What? Why did it break just now?"
"It's okay. I already got the application form. Old Yao allowed me to go to the monitoring room on my own for the rest of the day."
Jiang Hui: "Xiaoyu, should we go together? But what if we don't go on that day?"
Jiang Hui couldn't help but frown, wondering what to do, and then her eyes lit up, probably having figured it out.
"I understand, Huihui. We can look at the surveillance footage from the past few days and look for clues."
When Chen Xiyu saw her good friend frowning and thinking, she thought of an emoticon package of "I have a good idea", which was exactly the same as Jiang Hui in front of her, and she couldn't help laughing.
"Looking for clues. Hahahahaha. We are Conan."
"Although Concubine Hui is stupid, she is truly beautiful."
Jiang Hui asked, "Do you have any good ideas, Your Majesty?"
"I've made up my mind. Since surveillance is useless, I'll start by investigating the people in power and find out what those in charge of surveillance are saying."
"Since the surveillance can be broken, let's go and take a look. If it's really broken, then forget it. If it was truly deleted manually, we would definitely be able to find out. This also means that someone in the school is afraid that we will discover the truth and contacted others to delete the surveillance."
Jiang Hui was very excited after hearing this and took Chen Xiyu's hand, "Your Majesty, this is really a wonderful plan."
"Let's go now! gogogo"
The two of them came to the monitoring room. The monitoring teacher looked at the application form with the check time of 11.12 and said, "I can't watch it, classmate. The day is broken."
"Go back, kid."
Chen Xiyu: "Teacher, why can't I see it?"
Jiang Hui also said: "Yes, teacher, are there any on other days?"
"Coincidentally, all the items before November 20th were lost."
"All lost? I remember the surveillance footage was only kept for a month, wasn't it?"
"It's lost, so it's lost. I don't know. Maybe it's broken down over time."
The teacher looked at the time on his phone.
The teachers in charge of academic affairs usually don’t have much to do, so they just go to work and leave on time. Now it seems that they are in a hurry to get off work.
Chen Xiyu understood and decided to take the worst approach.
"teacher!"
Teacher Yu lowered his head to look at his phone for a moment, and when he looked up again, the girl in front of him had tears in her eyes.
Teacher Yu rubbed his eyes, thinking that he was presbyopic?
Chen Xiyu said with tears in her eyes, "Teacher, you don't know, this lost thing is extremely important to me."
"I was taking an exam when my grandma was dying, and I didn't get to see her for the last time when I returned."
"I have been weak since I was young. It was my grandma who held me and coaxed me to take medicine every day. Only then did she heal my weak body. Now this is the only thing my grandma gave me."
Jiang Hui's initial surprise immediately turned into sympathy. She cooperated fully and took out a tissue from her pocket. Unfortunately, there were no tears in her eyes. She could only cover her eyes and face with the tissue and cry, "Yes, Xiaoyu was born weak. Grandma's cooking is delicious. Why did you leave so early?"
Teacher Yu stopped packing her things and couldn't help but gleaming with tears in her eyes as she listened to Chen Xiyu's story.
"Poor child! The teacher will definitely report the lost items to the school and compensate you!"
Chen Xiyu cried even louder and sat down on the ground, "Wuwuwu, you guys tell me, grandma is so good to me, can money buy back the things I lost?"
"Of course not," Jiang Hui replied in a crying voice.
"It's the only thing my grandma gave me. Shouldn't I look for it carefully? It took several days to be approved by the surveillance camera, and it's gone when I can see it. Isn't this bullying?"
"Bullying!" Jiang Hui continued.
"I have been in poor health since I was a child. Now that my grandma is gone, can't I even protect something?" Chen Xiyu coughed.
Teacher Yu had tears in her eyes and quickly patted Chen Xiyu on the back. "Student Chen, you poor child, I will definitely help you!"
"Hurry up and sit down. Let me pour you a glass of water."
When Teacher Yu stood up to look for a disposable paper cup, Chen Xiyu stopped her. "No need, teacher," she sobbed, "I just want to find something that belongs to me."
Teacher Yu insisted on pouring water for them.
Chen Xiyu took advantage of the moment when Teacher Yu turned around and winked at Jiang Hui for a second. Jiang Hui said: You didn’t say you wanted to play a sad role, Xiaoyu.
Teacher Yu came back with two glasses of water.
"Student Chen, I'm deeply sorry for what happened to you. Unfortunately, the surveillance footage from those days was lost. I can try to restore it."
"Teacher, I want to know why the surveillance footage was lost for a few days for no reason? Unless someone deleted it manually."
Chen Xiyu continued, "Teacher Yu, I'd like to know if anyone has come to the monitoring room alone in the past few days?"
Teacher Yu recalled, "Alone? Not many students came to check the surveillance these days, and I was always there to check it for them."
Chen Xiyu was disappointed as the clue was broken again.
Suddenly, Teacher Yu recalled something, "Teacher Yang Wen did come once and said she wanted to see how her students were doing during recess."
Chen Xiyu noticed the newly opened tea on the table while listening to Teacher Yu speak.
"By the way, this tea was also given by Teacher Yang. It's really good, but it's a pity that the water is a little cold. Next time the teacher makes it, you must try it."
Chen Xiyu said politely, "Thank you, teacher."
"But the surveillance camera malfunctioned that day."
Chen Xiyu raised her head and looked at Jiang Hui. Jiang Hui understood that Chen Xiyu had something in mind.
"Goodbye, teacher. We are leaving."
Along the way, Chen Xiyu was silent, thinking about something. Jiang Hui was mumbling about how she almost didn't follow Chen Xiyu's idea and almost laughed while acting.
"By the way, Xiaoyu, where did you hear that story? It moved the teacher to tears."
"I read about the heroine's life story in a novel a few days ago."
"Is this another Mary Sue novel?"
"I'm reading a sweet campus novel!"
Jiang Hui: "The academic affairs teachers have it easy. They manage students, check surveillance cameras, and drink tea and chat when they have nothing else to do."
Chen Xiyu: "Huihui, don't you think it's a coincidence? All the surveillance footage from those days was lost, and it just so happened that after Teacher Yang Wen came to review it, it was all lost."
Jiang Hui held Chen Xiyu's arm, "Yang Wen, Yang Xiaoxiao, why is it that when someone with the surname Yang shows up, something's definitely going on?"
"Is Teacher Yang Wen the homeroom teacher of Class 6?"
"Hey, Class 6?" Chen Xiyu paused.
"Yang Xiaoxiao's class." Jiang Hui also understood.
Chen Xiyu suddenly understood, and everything became clear.
Who would delete the surveillance files in advance if they didn't have something to hide? Chen Xiyu became more and more determined in her inner thoughts.
The two walked back to Class 3 and saw a little girl standing at the back door, looking like she was waiting for someone.
Chen Xiyu looked closely and saw that it was Xiao Xue.
"Xiao Xue, are you looking for someone here?"
Xiao Xue looked at her and nodded.
"Xiyu, I'm sorry." Xiao Xue lowered her head timidly.
"Why do you want to apologize?" Some people passed by, and Chen Xiyu pulled her arm and moved closer to her.
"I know there have been some rumors about you recently. I was there that day, and I believe you."
Chen Xiyu listened to her quietly.
"A few days ago, no one present spoke up for you. We were friends before, and I was hesitant, but I decided to stand up."
"I want to say that what happened that day was not your fault alone. It was not your fault alone that Yang Xiaoxiao was absent from the exam."
Chen Xiyu was deeply touched. "Xiaoxue, I'm surprised you're willing to stand up and speak for me. You believe in me, and that's enough."
Xiao Xue's eyes sparkled as she looked at Chen Xiyu. "Xiyu, you, you, you want to go and have some milk tea? I'll treat you."
Chen Xiyu smiled. She remembered that when Xiao Xue was in junior high school, she would stutter when she was nervous. "Okay."
"Xiaoxue, do you mind if I bring a friend?"
Xiao Xue looked at Chen Xiyu's generous and cheerful smile and nodded a little embarrassedly.
Yes, no matter how many years have passed, Chen Xiyu is still the generous, cheerful and confident girl in my memory. It is very comfortable to get along with her.
The weather in Tongcheng was cool in late autumn. In a milk tea shop near the school, three little girls each ordered a cup of hot milk tea and some desserts.
Jiang Hui asked Xiao Xue, "Were you classmates in junior high? That's great."
Xiao Xue warmed her hands with hot milk tea and said, "Yes, Xiyu took good care of me back then."
Chen Xiyu recalled, "Really? I remember that Xiao Xue had just come over at that time, and she sat at the desks in front and behind me for a while."
Jiang Hui pouted and said, "At that time, my parents sent me to No. 7 Middle School next door. If I had also been in F Affiliated Middle School, I would have met good friends like Xiaoyu earlier.
"Wasn't Chen Xiyu really naughty back then? And what about Xie Yanzhi, Jiang Xi, and the others?"
Xiao Xue shook her head. "Xiyu was very popular at that time, but I had never met Xie Yanzhi at that time."
Chen Xiyu poked a piece of tiramisu with a fork and stuffed it into her mouth. "Xie Yanzhi wasn't in the same class with me at the time. I forgot which class he was in, but he was also a bit of a celebrity."
"Class one." Xiao Xue said.
"Oh, it seems to be Class 1."
"You have a great memory," Jiang Hui exclaimed.
Xiao Xue looked away, "He was very famous back then."
Good at studying, good looking, good family background and good interpersonal relationships.
Every time he came to the class to find friends like Chen Xiyu, he would attract the attention of the girls in the class.
During a break, Chen Xiyu went out early for something. She was drawing when the window was opened with a "chua". The noisy sound outside came in and the sunlight shone into the desk.
She didn't pay much attention to it and continued painting until she heard a voice, a very nice young boy's voice.
"Hey, little painter. Excuse me."
Xiao Xue paused writing when she realized someone was calling her. She turned her head and saw the handsome, youthful face of a boy outside the window. He was holding a badminton racket in one hand, and the top button of his school uniform was unbuttoned, revealing a long, white neck.
"Where did Chen Xiyu go?"
Xiao Xue was stunned. She couldn't tell whether the June morning sun was too dazzling or the boy in front of her was even warmer than the June sun.
She shook her head, but before she could answer, someone passed by. They must be his friends.
The boy outside the window was held by the shoulders, "Ayan, what are you doing?"
Teenagers love to tease others. They have jokes with others.
"Hey, Ah Yan, are you teasing the little girl?"
Xiao Xue's face suddenly turned red, and the group of people laughed even more happily.
Xie Yanzhi pushed away the people around him who were joking and said, "Go away. Can't you see I'm holding a racket?"
"Where's your deskmate?"
Xiao Xue said, "I, I, I don't know. The teacher called her and told her to go out."
A crowd of people gathered outside the window. Wherever the teenagers went, they were the center of attention. Many people were looking at them. Xiao Xue became even more nervous. When she was nervous, she stuttered and her face turned red.
Someone burst out laughing.
"Brother Yan, you still said you didn't bully anyone."
Xie Yanzhi also found it amusing and swung the badminton racket in his hand, "Little Painter, don't be nervous, we are not bad people."
Chen Xiyu came back with a large stack of test papers and called them.
"Xie Yanzhi, why are you guys blocking the way?"
"Don't bully my deskmate."
Xie Yanzhi smiled lazily and spread his hands. "It's unfair. I didn't do anything. If you don't believe me, ask her."
Then they went to play badminton together. Xiao Xue looked at the boy's back as he left, and the image was deeply engraved in her mind, so much so that she copied it again and again.
The memory was brought back, and Xiao Xue's face turned red when she thought of Xie Yanzhi.
"Xiao Xue, why is your face red?"
Xiao Xue covered her face, it was hot.
"Maybe, maybe it's a little hot in the store."
Chen Xiyu nodded, "Is that so."
Jiang Hui noticed something was wrong. Why did Xiao Xue's face turn red when Xie Yanzhi was mentioned? She had an expression that said "I understand."
Xiao Xue avoided their gaze and tried to get back to the topic.
"Xiaoyu, the boy I returned your water cup to last time was also our junior high school classmate. Do you still remember him? He's your deskmate now."
Chen Xiyu was stunned. "Returning the water cup? Is it Tan Zhao?"
She seemed to have seen Tan Zhao taking her water cup, but she didn't think much about it at the time.
"You said you still remember that he was our junior high school classmate, but I don't remember him."
Jiang Hui asked curiously, "Then Tan Zhao must have been very famous at the time. He was a good student and handsome."
Xiao Xue: "Not really. I think he looks much better now. In fact, I almost didn't recognize him. He was a little fatter then. I was the English class representative in our class and he was the class representative of the class next door, so I was a little more impressed by him."
Chen Xiyu: "What? You said Tan Zhao is from the class next to ours? Why don't I remember Tan Zhao?"
Chen Xiyu held up his head and recalled the painful memories, "Oh my god, what can I remember with this brain!"
No wonder when school started on National Day, Chen Xiyu said that they met for the first time, and Tan Zhao looked upset and asked if he remembered him.
Chen Xiyu pressed on, "Do you remember what his appearance was like then? Maybe I've been recalling him based on his current appearance, so I can't recall it."
Xiao Xue thought about it and rolled her eyes. "His facial features haven't changed much. He opened his eyes, but he seemed to have a buzz cut at that time and was also short."
"Oh, by the way, I remember you two drew a blackboard newspaper together, Xiyu. When you drew the Teacher's Day blackboard newspaper, you asked me to help you."
As if hearing a key word, Chen Xiyu's memory floodgates were opened.
"Blackboard?"
"I remember now."
It was Teacher's Day, and every class had to prepare a blackboard newspaper in advance. Chen Xiyu, as the class monitor, felt a strong sense of responsibility and took the initiative to stay after school to work with the students who were preparing the blackboard newspapers.
But she had no artistic skills, and her paintings could even ruin the overall atmosphere, so she could only do some work such as wiping the blackboard and preparing things for coloring.
Chen Xiyu had just finished wiping the blackboard with the classmate in charge of the blackboard newspaper. Everyone was doing their job in an orderly manner, and Chen Xiyu had nothing to do.
Xiao Xue told her that she could go home, but Chen Xiyu shook her head and said, "The comrades have not left yet. How can I, squad leader Chen, dare to leave? I must advance and retreat with everyone."
But it was too boring to just watch, so Chen Xiyu wanted to go to some nearby classes to take a look at how others were drawing.
As soon as I walked to the next class, I saw some boys from the next class walking out of the back door with their arms around each other. Before leaving, they yelled to the students inside, "Draw well."
She looked inside and saw only a little boy squatting in the corner tidying up things. He had just wiped the blackboard and his upper body was covered in dust.
The boy's hands were covered in dust. Chen Xiyu looked at him from behind and saw that his back was twitching.
"Is he crying?"
She couldn't help but walk in.
"classmate."
The little fat boy didn't turn around, probably because he felt embarrassed crying.
"Do you need help?"
The fat boy was strong, but his tone gave him away.
With a crying voice, "No need."
Chen Xiyu handed him a piece of paper and said, "Is your group drawing the blackboard newspaper? Why are you the only one here?"
The chubby boy took the paper and looked at the girl. She had a high ponytail, wore a red school uniform, had fair skin, three-dimensional features, and almond-shaped eyes.
"They're all gone."
The little fat boy lowered his head and wiped his tears.
"Are you the only one painting?"
The little fat man nodded.
Chen Xiyu was shocked and clenched his fists. "Damn it! Who arranged for you to be the only one here? Don't worry, classmate. I'm the monitor of Class 7-4. You can tell me anything you want. The people's needs are my responsibility."
"The teacher said we should work in groups. The people in our group just left and said they believed I could draw well."
Chen Xiyu looked at the blackboard. Normally, four or five people would work together to draw a blackboard newspaper. Under her organization, all the students who liked to draw came together in their class. Not counting her, there were six people in total.
I really didn't expect that there was only this little student left in the class next door. How long will it take to finish painting?
"So you're the one who designs, prepares, and draws everything?"
Little Tan Zhao nodded, but couldn't help but burst into tears, "But I don't know what to draw. I can't draw, and the teacher will check tomorrow."
Xiao Tanzhao wiped away a tear.
Chen Xiyu's sense of justice was ignited, and she looked at the boy's crying figure.
"Wait for me, I'll take care of it."
When Tan Zhao looked up again, he saw the girl leaving against the light, and there was a beautiful sunset outside.
He didn't think she would come back, but soon, little Chen Xiyu came back with a piece of manuscript paper.
"Here, we can draw according to this."
Xiao Tanzhao took the manuscript, tears welling up in his eyes, and caught the key words.
"us?"
"This was one of the themes our class prepared, but we didn't choose it in the end." Little Chen Xiyu scratched her head. "Because I can't draw, I had to borrow one from a friend. So don't mind this as a backup. This was drawn by the person behind me. She draws very well. I took this piece of paper from her. Since you don't know what to draw, you can draw according to this."
"I can come with you. Oh, and my friend Xiaoxue said she can come and help us after she finishes."
When Xiao Tanzhao saw the manuscript paper handed over by Chen Xiyu, the theme was "Happy Teacher's Day" and the content was rich, which solved his urgent problem.
When I look at the carefree girl in front of me, why do I feel that she is radiating light?
Little Chen Xiyu took the chalk, looked at the manuscript paper, looked left and right, and together with little Tan Zhao, they drew for a long time, and finally they had a rough shape.
Just at this time, Xiao Xue had finished her work and could come over to help. The three of them worked together and finally finished the blackboard newspaper.
Xiao Tanzhao thanked them and even bowed.
Little Chen Xiyu used the back of her hand to push the hair off her face, and felt more and more that she had done the right thing.
Xiao Tanzhao noticed a touch of colorful chalk dust on the girl's face and pointed at her cheek.
The girl smiled at this, seeing the result of their joint efforts, "I thought I was painting a black hole, it seems I'm not bad here either."
Xiao Tanzhao was still looking at the dust when he noticed the dimple on the corner of the girl's mouth.
She has dimples, Xiao Tanzhao thought.
The girl came closer and leaned forward, and Xiao Tanzhao was startled.
She smells so good and has beautiful eyes.
"I suddenly realized that your facial features are very three-dimensional and beautiful. When you lose weight, you will definitely be a handsome guy. Right, Xiaoxue?"
The quiet girl next to her also nodded.
As they were on their way to part ways, Chen Xiyu said to him seriously.
"If anyone bullies you again, you can report me as Lady Chen, or come find me in Class 4."
"With me, Chen Xiyu, here, this campus is a pure land. I, Chen Daxia, will not tolerate any trace of bullying on campus!"
Little Tan Zhao took her words to heart and asked her with his doe eyes, "Will it be useful to tell her your name?"
Chen Xiyu seemed to be thinking about something, but after thinking about it, she decided to be more cautious. "To be safe, you can mention both Chen Xiyu and Xie Yanzhi and tell them that you are their friend. We can handle small matters, but if it's a big deal, we can drag you along."
Later, Chen Xiyu really had no impression of the little fat boy. She heard that Xiao Xue said that the English class representative from the next class had transferred to another school, and she had to temporarily help get the test papers for both classes.
Chen Xiyu recalled her memories at that time and wondered why Tan Zhao didn't tell her.
It turns out they knew each other a long time ago.
After dinner in the evening, Chen Xiyu opened WeChat.
It turned out that they hadn't talked for a long time. After she saw Tan Zhao accept Yang Xiaoxiao's gift, she stopped chatting with him.
Chen Xiyu typed something, clicked send, but didn't click it, so he typed and deleted it.
"Oh, so annoying." Chen Xiyu turned off the phone and threw it on the bed.
At this time, the phone lit up.
It was the teacher in the class group who asked us to watch Youth Great Learning and took a screenshot and sent it to the group.
After reading it, Chen Xiyu took a screenshot and sent it to the group. Coincidentally, after she sent it, Tan Zhao also sent it.
They are one above and one below.
Chen Xiyu tapped the table with his left index finger, deciding to strike first.
As long as she is not embarrassed and takes the initiative, he will not focus on her problem. Besides, it is true that he accepted Yang Xiaoxiao's gift. He cannot ignore the truth just because they have known each other for a long time and have a good relationship.
Chen Xiyu made a phone call directly.
