Wen Jing, long time no see

It's the first day of the school year again.

Chen Songyan returned to the classroom he had not seen for a long time, and saw the homework he had lent to Wen Jing during the holiday on the table, and next to it was his roommate Yu Hao.

"Why are you sitting here?" he asked the other party.

Yu Hao, who was busy doing his homework, glanced up at him and said, "Don't you know? Wen Jing and I have switched seats! This will be my seat from now on."

Chen Songyan was stunned for a moment before he asked, "How is that possible?"

"How is that impossible? Wen Jing specifically added me on WeChat and told me about what happened yesterday."

Chen Songyan was silent for a long time, his expression changing again and again, and he asked him in a calm voice: "Where are you?"

"Fuck, it's been a year and you don't even know where I sit?!"

Wen Jing sat on a bench on the asphalt road of the school, staring blankly at the teaching building in front of her.

She didn't dare go back to the classroom.

I didn't say anything to Chen Songyan. Changing seats without his permission was really not a very friendly thing to do.

But she couldn't think of anything to say.

You can't say that you changed it because you were afraid that you couldn't control yourself and fell in love with him prematurely and had an affair with him.

This holiday, she has been troubled by that dream every night and will go crazy if she doesn't move away.

It's just a change of seat, not breaking up with him, so it's no big deal, right?

She was still struggling with this until the bell for evening class rang, and then she reluctantly returned to the classroom.

She is now in the third row of the first group, also by the window, but it is the window facing the corridor.

Her deskmate was Chen Meng, with whom she had almost no interaction. When she knew that her deskmate had changed, she didn't feel anything at all. She just glanced at her and went about her own business.

It's quite worry-free, Wen Jing thought. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen her as her deskmate.

The quietness here was completely different from the lively atmosphere in the back row of the fourth group. Everyone kept their heads down and did their own thing, and no one gossiped.

At this moment, the back row of the fourth group had fallen into extremely low pressure because of her sudden departure.

Tan Yue glanced at Wen Jing who had finally returned but was far away from them, then turned to look at Chen Songyan with a cold face and Chen Die who was rarely silent and only focused on doing homework. For the first time, she felt tormented in this position.

When Chen Die first arrived, she was quite excited. She only asked where Wen Jing was, and Chen Songyan replied that she had changed seats. Chen Die asked why, and Chen Songyan said he didn't know. Her face completely fell.

After that, the two fell into a long silence.

Tan Yue tried to say that it was okay and they could see each other later, but Chen Die suddenly retorted, "Of course it won't affect you. You're her roommate anyway, so you're in close contact every day."

She wanted to say that there wasn't much close contact, but seeing the gloomy faces of the two men, she didn't dare to say a word.

She didn't quite understand why Wen Jing changed seats without saying a word.

I thought they had a very close relationship. At least, Chen Die and Chen Songyan were quite familiar with her.

She also recalled the loss she felt when the other person saw her sitting alone in this position at the beginning of her freshman year of high school and ignored her and chose an empty seat in the back row.

Becoming good friends with Wen Jing is a particularly difficult thing, Tan Yue thought.

It was very strange. Wen Jing thought Chen Songyan would come to question her, but he didn't come to see her until the end of evening study.

Should she take the initiative to explain?

Wen Jing glanced over there and saw Chen Songyan with his head down reading a book. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little afraid to go over.

A familiar figure flashed before her eyes. Wen Jing called out "Chen Die" and saw her walk out of the front door without looking back.

Didn’t you hear?

Normally, people from the fourth group would rarely pass through the corridor of the first group, but for some reason, quite a lot of people passed by here tonight.

First, Chen Die went out from here and then came in again. She didn't go through the back door or the podium, but walked straight past her. She called her, but she didn't respond.

Then came Tan Yue, who also came in and out here.

Finally, the evening class ended and Chen Songyan also passed by here.

Wen Jing called out to him.

He stopped at his table but didn't say anything or look back.

Wen Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you for your homework."

Chen Songyan turned around after a long while, a rare cold expression on his face: "Just, are you talking about this? Didn't you already return the gift?"

Wen Jing was so stunned by his words that she didn't know what to say for a moment.

At this time, Chen Meng next to him packed up his things, got up and left.

Seeing her walk away, Chen Songyan turned to Wen Jing and looked at her intently: "Wen Jing, am I making you uncomfortable in some way?"

Wen Jing was shocked: "No!"

"Then why did you change seats?"

He finally asked.

"I, I went to see an eye doctor this holiday, and the doctor told me to try to sit in the front row." Wen Jing gritted her teeth and made up an excuse.

Chen Songyan looked doubtful and anxious, his lips trembling.

He was almost about to ask her why she couldn't take him with her.

When I got to the point, I realized that I was not qualified to ask this question.

Why should I take him with me when someone changes seats?

After a moment of silence, he said "I understand" and walked forward.

Wen Jing changed seats, not with the intention of distancing herself from the people in the back row. At most, she wanted to physically isolate Chen Songyan, but after a week, she found that they had become somewhat distant from her, intentionally or unintentionally.

Especially Chen Die.

When walking on the street, he no longer responded to her enthusiastically, but just nodded, and sometimes even pretended not to see her.

On Thursday, after Chi Ya and her finished their homework, she suddenly told her, "Tomorrow is Chen Die's birthday. She asked me to invite you to dinner at a restaurant outside the school after class this afternoon. How strange! Why didn't she invite you directly? Did you have a fight?"

"She's been like this ever since I changed my seat," said Wen Jing.

"Ah? That's not the case! Didn't you tell them beforehand that you changed seats?"

"Do I need to tell you this?" Wen Jing asked in confusion.

Chi Ya was stunned and said, "Sister Wen, if I were to sit in the front row and you moved away from me without saying anything, I would be very sad."

"But I don't mean to stay away from them. I just want to change seats."

"Why did you change seats?"

Wen Jing stopped talking.

"This is a personal reason and has nothing to do with them," she said after a while.

"But even so, you should still tell them! Otherwise, it will really make the people who care about you very sad. Anyway, if it were me, I would be heartbroken!"

Wen Jing was quiet for a while and asked her: "Are you sure she asked you to invite me?"

"Sure!"

"I see."

Thinking about how Chen Die had been frowning in front of her these days and finally invited her, Wen Jing felt a subtle emotion in her heart.

The next morning, Wen Jing rushed to the classroom and saw that Chen Die was the only one in the back row, so she walked straight over to him.

"Chen Die." she called.

Chen Die held up the classical Chinese translation in her hand, looked up at her, and said in a slightly stiff tone: "What's wrong?"

"Do you want to hear me explain something?" Wen Jing stared at her.

"What's the matter?" Chen Die said with a stern face.

"That's why I changed seats."

Chen Die looked at her, moved her lips and hummed.

"Then you have to promise me to keep it a secret." Wen Jing said.

Chen Die's expression relaxed, and she pouts and frowns, her tone already beginning to uncontrollably grow louder: "Of course I'll keep it a secret. What is it?"

"This matter is a personal matter of mine, but it has nothing to do with you. I'll tell you after we graduate from high school, and you might be surprised then. But right now, I can't tell you because it might have a bad impact."

"Is that so?" Chen Die's expression softened completely. "You've made me even more curious!"

Wen Jing approached her: "Anyway, this is a secret between you and me. Don't tell anyone. I will tell you after graduation."

The word "secret" successfully touched Chen Die's heart. She could hardly contain the joy on her face: "Okay!"

Her face relaxed. "Wen Jing, you should have told me earlier! You don't know how sad I've been these past few days. I thought you didn't care about me at all. I watched you from a dark corner every day, but you never even looked at me!"

Wen Jing laughed: "How could I have that!"

"Let me ask you, do you think it's not good for me to sit in front of you?" Chen Die asked again.

"No, I think it's great." Wen Jing said.

"How does it compare to the desk in front of you now?"

"Of course you are."

Chen Die laughed heartily: "I don't care! Now that you've changed seats, I want to change too! When Tan Yue comes back, I'll move in front of you with her. Don't even think about getting rid of me!"

She did what she said. As soon as Tan Yue arrived, she took people to negotiate with the two girls in the second row of Group 1 to change seats.

The seats in the back row of group four were already popular. If it weren't for Wen Jing, they would have been reluctant to change. Without much discussion, the two girls agreed.

"Actually, I'm a little reluctant to let go of Chen Songyan. Why don't we let him switch as well?" Chen Die said again. She turned around and glanced at Chen Meng, who was about to go out with a book in hand. Before she could ask, she received a reply: "No."

Wen Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

If Chen Songyan comes again, her changes will be in vain.

But she also felt a little guilty. If that were the case, wouldn't Chen Songyan be alone there?

However, he is so popular and Yu Hao is his roommate, so it shouldn't be a problem.

After class in the afternoon, Chen Die took Wen Jing's hand and walked all the way to the restaurant. At the end, she even asked Wen Jing to sit next to her, looking very much in love.

Zhou Meng and Chen Songyan took their seats. Seeing this scene, they couldn't help but complain: "You girls have reconciled, leaving me, your brother, alone in the last row, feeling sad."

Chen Songyan frowned and looked at him, but did not refute.

Zhou Meng asked again: "Wen Jing, why did you change seats? And why didn't you take Chen Songyan with you? Are you annoyed with him?"

"Zhou Meng, you talk too much! Don't meddle in the affairs of beautiful women. Our Wen Jing can change if she wants!" Chen Die defended her.

Wen Jing looked at Chen Songyan, who didn't interrupt, and said, "I'm not annoying anyone. It's just that the front row suits me better. I'm nearsighted."

"Hey, then Chen Songyan, you should change into that as well!"

"It can't be changed. Chen Meng won't allow it." Chen Die answered quickly.

"Well, changing the surroundings is fine."

Things were gradually developing into the situation Wen Jing was worried about. She hurriedly said, "No need! He's fine in the back row! He's tall, and the front row isn't suitable for him."

Chen Songyan on the opposite side looked up at her, and Wen Jing looked away.

"That's right. So it's really not appropriate for you little guys to keep sitting in the back row."

"Zhou Meng, you're itching for trouble, aren't you?"

Because of Zhou Meng's joke, the topic was over and Wen Jing finally felt relieved.

She had to admit that physical isolation was effective. At least, nowadays, she and Chen Songyan had no chance to see each other unless they were intentionally communicating, and they could only talk a few words in a week.

It's not easy to stay away from someone you love very much, and she still needs to stay away for two years.

But when Wen Jing thought about the dream that had been tormenting her these days and the fortune teller's prediction of bad fate, she felt a pang of fear.

Now is the extreme tug-of-war between reason and desire, and she must overcome desire.

She wanted to prove that she could control what Lao Wen couldn't.

On Monday, the first year of high school started.

The cafeteria was full of high school freshmen wearing military training uniforms. Some of them were quite well-proportioned, but Wen Jing had no interest in appreciating them.

She was slightly shocked. It turned out that Chen Songyan's influence on her had reached the point where she was completely focused and could only see him?

Thinking about it carefully, she really hadn't looked at the guy on her phone for a long time. Now thinking about it, she found it boring!

Oh my god!

She gave up the entire forest for a blade of grass?!

Is this still the gene of the old Wen family?

Wen Jing felt incredible.

So in the afternoon, when Chen Die excitedly told her that there was a very handsome boy in Class 13 of Grade 1, she rushed over to see him without hesitation.

She wanted to know if she really only had feelings for Chen Songyan now.

Wen Jing arrived at the football field at 6:40. She had heard that the evening military training for the first graders would begin at 6:50, so by this time, they should have rested enough and it was time to assemble.

She followed the sign and walked over to where Class 10 used to be. She couldn't tell which one was Class 13.

There was a tall boy on the left drinking water with his back to her. Wen Jing walked over and said:

"Hello, where is Class 13?"

As soon as the words fell, the other party turned around and Wen Jing's face changed.

"Hey! Who's this? Looking for a handsome guy again? It's only the first day, and you can't help yourself? You didn't even ask for his name, and you just came to me!"

The other person came closer to her, "After such a long time, you are still so hungry! Wen Jing?"
