Chapter 117 Confession
For some students, the National Day holiday seems to have vanished in the blink of an eye.
But for some, life imprisonment is like a prison sentence that seems endless.
Finally, the day of returning to school arrived. Wang Haomai saw Xiao You, who had disappeared for seven days, at the classroom door. He looked at Xiao You in horror and stammered, "You...Xiao You...Are you alright...?"
“He doesn’t look good…” Yang Zijiang caught a glimpse of Xiao You’s gloomy face out of the corner of his eye. “He looks… really bad.”
Xiao You quietly looked back, then pulled Lin Huai's hand off his arm.
He was grabbed by this man the moment he entered the door.
They bumped into each other at the classroom door, stared at each other blankly, and Xiao You coldly said to Lin Huai, "Make way."
Lin Huai let go of her hand and watched Xiao You go downstairs without saying a word. He followed behind her and went down as well.
After the two left the classroom, Wang Haomai couldn't help but stare in astonishment, not understanding what they were up to.
At the same time, the classroom erupted in chatter as the students began gossiping.
"Didn't they walk arm in arm after having barbecue the other day? They seemed to be getting along really well. What's going on now?! Did you guys see Xiao You's expression?! Holy crap!!! I have a feeling they're about to fight!"
"I've never seen Xiao You with a sour face before!"
"I also!!"
"You wouldn't believe it, when the three of us went to the dorm to carry him out, the two of them started fighting!"
"What?"
"Be more specific!"
A group of people joined the discussion, "Wang Haomai, weren't you usually quite close with Huai Die and Xiao You? When did they have a falling out?"
"I don't know either." Wang Haomai was also puzzled. He said ambiguously, "That day they were fighting in the dormitory. Lin Huai was curled up like a pretzel and rolling on the ground. Xiao You's forehead looked like it had been hit by a heavy object. They probably really fought on the ground!"
"Holy crap!! That's so exciting!!!"
"Then what!!"
"Then, our little Yuzu was very angry. It felt like he had been completely wasted. He packed his things and left. No one could contact him during the seven-day National Day holiday. I thought he was going to skip class, but I didn't expect him to come back anyway." Yang Zijiang sighed.
Over the past two years, everyone has learned a bit about Xiao You's family. They feel sorry for this classmate who is neglected by her mother and unloved by her father. She is usually quiet and doesn't like to socialize. Her inner world must be gray.
I finally felt that this classmate had changed a bit this semester, but now things have fallen apart again.
"What's wrong?" Lin Huai asked again and again in the corridor.
He was so drunk that day that he remembered nothing.
When he woke up, he found himself lying in Xiao You's dorm room. After making a few phone calls, he came to the conclusion that he had gotten into a fight with Xiao You and had hit her pretty hard, causing her to run away from home.
Knowing he was in the wrong, Lin Huai quickly ran down the steps and met Xiao You's eyes with his perfect features, touching his face with both hands: "Are you angry with me?"
"I've sent you hundreds of WeChat messages and made countless phone calls, but you're ignoring me!"
Did I really hit you on the head?
Xiao You pushed away his delicate features, showing no intention of letting go.
"Why are you ignoring me?" Lin Huai asked.
Xiao You stopped and stood at the corner of the corridor, answering honestly, "I think that if you like someone, you should at least be honest."
He loosened his clenched fist. "And I told you about this a long, long time ago. I don't like it when people lie to me or hide things from me."
Lin Huai listened, his speech becoming incoherent. He tried hard to recall when Xiao You had mentioned it since he transmigrated.
No results.
"Forget it." Xiao You brushed past her.
The March of the Volunteers played downstairs for a while, and Xiao You didn't waste any more time, so she turned around and went downstairs to queue.
Before leaving, he said, "Talk to me again when you've figured it out."
"Okay," Lin Huai readily agreed. "Could you give me a hint?"
If you're persistent and shameless, you'll eventually get something out of it.
"The day you got drunk, you called me 'wife'."
Lin Huai was stunned... Oh no... This is a huge misunderstanding!
Xiao You must have thought she was calling her ex...
That's why I'm so angry...
How can we explain that the wife he called out to is the same person as Xiao You?
Xiao You spent seven days sorting out his feelings; it wasn't that he didn't want to believe it.
For him, nothing could be happier than this.
Why didn't this blockhead tell him from the beginning?
Is a mouth something you can breathe through?
The feeling of keeping him hanging on made Xiao You deeply doubt herself.
He's a complete scumbag!
After the flag-raising ceremony, Xiao You went straight back to the classroom during the morning exercises.
Xiao You hasn't stayed in the dormitory for the past few days. After school, he rode his bicycle back to his old home.
My parents aren't home. Although it's dusty, he cleaned it during the National Day holiday, so it's still habitable.
At least I had some peace and quiet at home.
I bought a box of coffee; I'm going to work on my error log tonight.
When the exam results were announced, everyone complained for days.
The students were also quite concerned about how well the newly transferred, handsome class monitor was doing.
"The report cards are posted on the wall. Come up and take a look for yourselves."
After Liu Cuicui finished speaking, she rushed off to a meeting. The remaining students in the classroom erupted in chaos, scrambling forward, only to have their faces darken instantly.
Knowing full well it's a minefield, yet still forging ahead so bravely—that's the fearless spirit of youth.
Xiao You doesn't like looking at report cards, partly because she's too lazy to do it, and partly because someone will always look at them and then come up to tell her.
Secondly, because he was very confident.
Just then, a roar erupted from the crowd: "My God, Xiao You isn't in first place this time!!"
"What? What?" Everyone crowded around.
Looking back at the scores, everyone remained silent.
Thinking about it, this made their relationship even worse.
Not only did they fight, but they also lost first place.
Although Wang Haomai had acknowledged Lin Huai as his father, his heart was still with Xiao You. He rushed over to complain, "This guy is a wolf in sheep's clothing! He deliberately pretended to be a poor student, asking you to tutor him, and at the same time, gathering intelligence. He still got first place despite only scoring in the 80s in English!"
“I didn’t pretend to be weak to take advantage of others,” Lin Huai said, standing to the side.
Wang Haomai paused, as if realizing something, and said, "No, what I meant was, you never said you were this awesome. I should have asked someone to tutor me!"
"It's all thanks to my little teacher's excellent teaching!" Lin Huai placed a cup of milk tea on Xiao You's table. "Drink it while it's hot."
Yang Zijiang rushed in, panting, and nimbly squeezed out from the podium: "Make way! Breaking news! The first and second place in the grade are both in our class! Liu Cuicui is all smiles in the meeting room!"
Wang Haomai rushed out of the classroom, even more excited than the first and second place winners.
Lin Huai slammed his hand on the table, picked up a pen, and started twirling it.
With a flick of the pen, three words were written: Song Nian'an. The pen was then pushed towards Xiao You.
"I really ran a long way to catch you this time."
He flicked the pen back, twirled it, and smiled, "Don't be angry, it's time for a sweet romance."
There was no surprise as I had imagined, nor the joy of surviving a disaster.
Sure enough, Lin Huai figured it out.
How could someone so close not recognize you? They've probably seen through you long ago, which is why they're so angry.
Xiao You turned to face Lin Huai, one hand on the back of the chair, and the other hand snatched the pen from Lin Huai's hand and tapped it twice: "Excuse me, classmate, I don't date in high school."
