Chapter 49 The Evolution of a Class Beauty

Ningsong woke up the next day feeling dazed and felt like he had just had a dream.

Someone confessed to him in his dream, but he couldn't see the expression clearly, but he remembered the voice clearly. He could still feel his heart beating wildly in the tiredness of falling asleep after insomnia until almost dawn.

He had breakfast with Qiao Qiao, and when he arrived at the classroom, he had no intention of studying and was in a mess. Then when the class started, Pu Yushanshan was late and stood at the door to report to the teacher.

The teacher naturally didn't make things difficult for him and smiled and said, "Why are you late today?"

Ning Song watched Pu Yu come in, and then he felt it was real, and his memories became clearer. He was filled with anger and asked, "What did you say?"

Pu Yu said: "I get angry when I see you getting close to others because I like you."

It was dark outside at that time, and it became even darker outside after the lights were turned off in the classroom. Pu Yu looked at him, and his tone seemed to dim as well. He had never heard such a dejected confession before. He said, "Actually, I have liked you for a long time."

Ning Song's ears turned red, and he pursed his lips. He didn't look at Pu Yu again the whole morning.

Qiao Qiao was the first to notice that something was wrong between Ning Song and Pu Yu.

It all started when he was having lunch, and as usual he was waiting for Pu Yu to join them, but Pu Yu went out directly through the back door.

He asked Ning Song: "Hey, why did he leave without waiting for us?"

Ning Song also said nothing.

When they arrived at the cafeteria, Sheng Yan and Li Qingyuan came over to eat with them. Qiao Qiao saw Li Qingyuan touch Sheng Yan's shoulder, and when he followed their line of sight, he saw Pu Yu leaving the cafeteria with his lunch box.

It turned out to be a takeaway meal.

He asked Ning Song: "Why did Brother Yu pack up and leave?"

Ning Song took a look and said, "Let him do whatever he wants."

Qiao Qiao: “…”

This was very unlike the Ning Song he knew.

Ning Song, whom he knew, should not be too tolerant of Young Master Pu!

He asked, "What happened to you two?"

Ning Song asked, "What's wrong?"

"You two had a fight?"

Sheng Yan and Li Qingyuan looked over immediately after hearing this.

Ning Song said, "Do you think he is a quarrelsome person?"

Qiao Qiao: “That’s right.”

Ning Song: “…”

He and Pu Yu did not quarrel, and he did not deliberately distance himself from Pu Yu.

Although they did go their separate ways in silence yesterday.

He thought about it all night, and felt that he couldn't understand it, but also that everything seemed to make sense. He couldn't understand it because he had never thought that Pu Yu would like him, and he felt that everything was reasonable because he recalled what Pu Yu had said to him, and it seemed that there were indeed clues a long time ago.

He couldn't sleep yesterday and felt like screaming and running 800 miles. He searched on Pink Book about what to do if a good friend confessed to him.

As soon as I typed in the few words "confession by a good friend", a bunch of related searches popped up, such as "I feel unhappy when my good friend confessed to me", "I feel uncomfortable when my good friend confessed to me", "How to deal with a confession by a good friend", "How to refuse a confession by a good friend", and even "I was scared to death when my good friend confessed to me".

He took a look and felt that his feelings were probably a combination of these feelings, so he focused on reading "How to deal with a confession from a good friend".

The top comment said, "This is so annoying. It would be great if we could just be friends!"

Right, right, I treat you as my brother with all my heart, but you want to...

Suddenly I thought of Pu Yu's terrifyingly large body even when he was sleeping, and I felt even more angry and scared!

All my sincerity has been wasted!

He didn't know if Pu Yu was acting like this because he was embarrassed. It was impossible for them to get along with each other as before as if nothing had happened.

Ning Song wiped all the rice from her plate and stood up.

Qiao Qiao looked at his attitude and asked: "Do you still want to eat?"

Still eating.

He wanted to vent all his complicated emotions towards Pu Yu through food. He should just treat the food as Pu Yu and swallow it all!

What a coincidence that Sheng Yan was in high spirits at the moment, and he could run to the third shift eighteen times a day if he had nothing to do. Love rivals are like this, either the east wind overwhelms the west wind, or the west wind overwhelms the east wind. Now it is obviously that he has turned the tide, and at this moment of triumph, Sheng Yan feels happy when he sees Pu Yu sitting in the corner, reading a book.

Ning Song was filled with shame and anger, with no place to vent, so she often joked and laughed with Qiao Qiao and Sheng Yan, and even laughed very loudly, pretending that she was not at all affected by her friend's confession.

But no matter how convincing he was, he couldn't feel happy at all. This angry mood didn't last long, mainly because Pu Yu looked so miserable alone.

He returned to his old days of being alone, studying alone, eating alone, and going back to the dormitory alone. Ning Song began to wonder what Pu Yu would think if she saw him being too close to others. He and Qiao Qiao even tried to reduce their physical contact. But after realizing this thought, he became even more upset.

He and Pu Yu suddenly became so estranged that Sheng Yan gradually noticed something was wrong and asked, "What's wrong with you two?"

Ning Song didn't dare tell them that Pu Yu confessed to him, because he felt that it would be embarrassing for both of them.

After the anger and embarrassment faded, sadness began to creep in.

Ning Song felt that he and Pu Yu could never go back.

Friendship that has been confessed is no longer friendship.

In a way, friendship is purer than love and cannot tolerate any ambiguity, otherwise it will deteriorate. He is just like the netizens on the little pink book, he wants to cry but has no tears.

But he doesn't feel disgusting or nauseating as netizens say.

Instead, he felt that Pu Yu was strange and pitiful.

But no matter how pitiful it is, you should not provoke others if you have no idea. It is too abominable that the person who confesses does not take the initiative and the person who is confessed to has to take the initiative to make friends.

It was Qiao Qiao, on the other hand. He originally didn't like Pu Yu very much and always complained to him. But now that he and Pu Yu had become estranged, he always spoke up for Pu Yu.

"That's just the way he is. He's a taciturn person. Did he offend you? I think he's also a dumb person and can't talk."

"Are you ignoring him, or is he ignoring you? We have such a friendship, but you won't tell me the truth, right? I'm going to get mad!"

"I heard that during training yesterday, Pu Yu was knocked down by someone and his knee was bleeding."

Ning Song pursed her lips when she saw Pu Yu limping into the classroom.

My mood is very complicated.

Fortunately, Ning Song is also very busy. The Spring Festival Party is coming, the social gathering is coming, and the study tour is coming. He also has to learn Sanda from Li You. He is very busy.

His English tutoring was over, but he did not slack off and continued to practice according to the method Pu Yu taught him.

Pu Yu is also busy. He is mainly busy with training. The rugby league is about to start and they will have their first preliminary match this week. The recent training intensity is very high and sometimes he even needs to take leave.

What happened between him and Ning Song was visibly seen, and the pride in Sheng Yan's heart gradually disappeared, instead he felt a little uneasy.

On the contrary, he was more confident when he was fighting openly and secretly with Pu Yu.

"I think Pu Yu may have confessed his feelings to Ning Song and was rejected," he said to Li Qingyuan.

Li Qingyuan said to him, "To be honest, I have always felt that he is not as competitive as you. With his personality, most people would not be able to stand it in a relationship, right?"

When Sheng Yan heard this, he felt much better.

He really won a big victory in this regard.

He set the photo of him and Ning Song as his screen saver, and every time he saw it on his phone, he felt that they were a perfect match.

Shen Lingsi discovered it a little later. He went to Ningsong Dormitory twice at night and didn't see Pu Yu. Then he realized that Pu Yu seemed to have disappeared from his sight for several days.

You know, every time he came to Ningsong Dormitory before, he would meet Pu Yu, the clingy person, two out of three times.

He asked Ning Song: "What happened between you and Pu Yu?"

Ning Song seemed to realize only later that he and Pu Yu had been so close before.

Even Shen Lingsi discovered it.

"Nothing much. Everyone is very busy recently," Ning Song said.

Shen Lingsi knew that Ning Song was not telling the truth, so he patted him on the shoulder and took the opportunity to step on Pu Yu twice, saying, "That's good. If there is any conflict, you should be more tolerant. He has that kind of personality and not many people can get along with him. Let's not talk about him anymore, look at this..."

Without the annoying rival in love, Shen Lingsi was much happier when teaching Ning Song how to do things. He did have personal goals, but he also really wanted to be good to Ning Song. Everyone can take care of and love her, and he felt that it was more meaningful to pass on his experience and teach Ning Song step by step to improve.

He wanted to train Ning Song to be a backbone of the student union, and he enjoyed the pleasure of this training. Ning Song was also very serious about his studies and smart. With his smart and delicate appearance, the more Shen Lingsi got along with him, the more he felt that he was simply his dream lover. Sometimes he needed to keep a distance from Ning Song to control his desire to touch him. He was busy recently, and his heart was hot, and his mouth was on fire.

The most important topic in their school this week is the annual youth rugby league.

The first preliminary round will be this Sunday.

Rugby is a sport that is very far away from Ning Song. He was going to go to the scene to cheer for Pu Yu, but now he doesn't know whether to go or not.

He didn't go back to Pu's house last weekend, but the next week, Liu Fen called him and said that it was Pu Ying's birthday and asked him to go back. She also reminded him not to forget to buy a gift.

"It's not the weekend, I can't go out," he said.

"Xiao Yu can go out, you can go with him and ask him how he got the leave. Just come back in the evening. Xiao Ying has been talking about you for a long time, saying that you didn't come last week." Liu Fen said, "Should I talk to Xiao Yu?"

"I'll tell you what I want to tell you."

Thursday was physical education class, and he went straight from the shooting hall to the football field.

The game is coming up on Sunday, and today is Pu Yu and his team's last warm-up match before the game. When he arrived, he saw that there were already a lot of people sitting in the venue. He also saw Jin Yang and Chen Mo from his class.

Seeing him come in, Jin Yang's friend immediately patted Jin Yang on the shoulder. Jin Yang turned his head and looked over, frowning.

The players stood in a row in the middle of the field, listening to the coach's speech. Pu Yu was wearing a blue rugby uniform, soaking wet.

Ning Song looked for a while and then left.

Only after he left did Pu Yu turn his head to look over.

In fact, as soon as he arrived, he saw him.

How could he not see it?

The body is always more honest than the mind.

In the end, Ning Song asked Shen Lingsi for a leave and went back.

Liu Fen asked: "Why didn't you come back with Xiao Yu?"

"He's still in training. I have nothing to do, so I came back first."

Although Pu Ying was very young, the birthday party held by the Pu family was very grand. Liu Fen was afraid that there would be too many people in the evening, so she asked him to meet Pu Ying first. Pu Ying was opening some birthday gifts he had received in advance, and when he saw him, he immediately asked him to join in opening them.

Ning Song finally understood what it meant to be born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Among the gifts that Pu Ying opened, there were gemstones, gold chains, and all kinds of luxury goods that he had seen and never seen before. Pu Ying tore them open and threw them on the ground. He was very interested in some Lego and toys. He bought Pu Ying a very ordinary small claw machine, but Pu Ying liked it so much that he started playing with it on the spot and wanted to compete with him.

When he bought it, he knew Pu Ying would definitely like it.

He played claw machine with Pu Ying. Pu Ying was wearing a small suit and a small tie today. He looked particularly cute. He was talkative and polite. His personality was really a hundred times better than Pu Yu's icy face.

No, it’s ten thousand times stronger.

Just as he was thinking this, he saw Pu Yu come in.

When Pu Ying saw him, he immediately shouted, "Brother, Xiao Song bought me a claw machine!"

The nanny smiled and said to Pu Yu, "You've ruined his happiness."

Pu Yu said "hmm" and went out again.

Ning Song did not attend Pu Ying's birthday party. He returned to the nanny's room before all the guests arrived. He was going back to school. Liu Fen said, "Why don't you go with Xiao Yu tomorrow morning?"

"I have something to do at school, so I have to go back tonight," Ning Song said.

Liu Fen went to pack the things for him. There were a lot of cakes prepared for today's banquet and they couldn't be used up. Mrs. Pu had previously asked Ning Song to take some back to school. Liu Fen prepared several portions for him and asked him to share them with his classmates.

"These are new nutritional supplements. I told my wife that you should stop eating after these. I see that you are much stronger now. It should be enough if you pay attention to the nutrition when eating. Otherwise, we will owe you too many favors. You should treat Xiao Yu well in school, you know? We should not be ungrateful..."

She kept on repeating the same things that she always reminded him of. Ning Song felt upset and a little sad. The more she felt sad, the more upset she became. He left with his schoolbag. Liu Fen said, "I'll take you there."

"No thanks." Ning Song walked out with his schoolbag. When he opened the door, he saw Pu Yu standing at the door. Because he opened the door so suddenly, Pu Yu was startled.

Pu Yu looked a little embarrassed and asked, "Are you leaving?"

They hadn't spoken for a few days. Ning Song said "hmm" and then heard Liu Fen say, "Xiao Yu, are you leaving too?"

Ning Song then saw Pu Yu carrying a bag.

Pu Yu said "hmm".

Ning Song came out of Pu's house with him. The banquet hall was very lively because it was Pu Ying's birthday and many children came to the banquet. They were playing in the courtyard. Several noble ladies were chatting in the yard. When they saw Pu Yu, they greeted him.

But Pu Yu didn't notice.

"They called you," he reminded.

Pu Yu suddenly turned his head and looked at him.

Ning Song pointed.

Pu Yu turned his head to look over there, and then seemed to react and walked over.

Ning Song was waiting for him beside her with the things in his hand.

After waiting for about half a minute, Pu Yu came back. There were a lot of people and cars coming and going at home today, so Uncle Zhang parked his car outside. He and Pu Yu got in the car one after another, and it seemed that they were sitting a little further away than usual.

The two of them didn't talk all the way. Ning Song didn't know whether to talk or what to talk about. Pu Yu was a taciturn person, so naturally he didn't say anything. They arrived at school like this. When they got off the car, Pu Yu still helped him carry the bag of nutrition as before.

He got out of the car first and then reached out to take it.

The two entered the campus, still without saying a word along the way, and then separated when they reached the overpass.

Ning Song stopped, stood under the shade of a tree and looked back at Pu Yu. He was tall and thin, and his back looked very lonely, just like when they first met.

There were few white ash flowers left, but the green leaves were dense, blocking the light of the street lamps, and the road seemed much darker. Ningsong felt an indescribable bitterness in his heart, and he didn't know what was wrong with him.

He returned to the dormitory and took out the food in his bag, which were all pastries that could not be stored for a long time. He divided them into several portions, planning to give one to Qiao Qiao, one to Li You, and the remaining portion for himself.

After packing the items in bags, he called Li You first.

Li You was playing basketball, so Ning Song asked him to visit his dormitory when he came back.

Li You asked, "Are you back?"

"Um."

"Are you still practicing Sanda today?"

Ning Song thought for a moment and said, "Now, aren't you tired?"

Li You said, "Then I will go back now."

While Ning Song was waiting for Li You, he called Qiao Qiao again.

Qiao Qiao was playing games: "Bring it to me when I go to class tomorrow."

"I'll send it to you now. It's best to eat it today. Some of it can't be kept." Ning Song said.

After hanging up the phone, he took Qiao Qiao's portion and ran to Qiao Qiao's dormitory. After giving Qiao Qiao the food, he immediately ran back.

When he came back, Li You was already waiting for him downstairs in the dormitory, wearing a basketball uniform and drenched in sweat.

Seeing him running over breathlessly, Li You asked, "Where have you been?"

"Give Qiao Qiao something."

He and Li You walked to the gymnasium together. Li You suddenly asked him, "What happened between you and Pu Yu?"

Ning Song was silent for a moment, and Li You said, "Wasn't he very attached to you before?"

Ning Song said: "He said he liked me."

Li You's steps were a beat slow.

Ning Song didn't know why he told Li You. Maybe in his mind, Li You was not in the same circle as the others, and he trusted Li You very much. "And this is what we are like now."

Li You continued walking forward, their shadows blended together, the road was very quiet, and there were even insects chirping.

Li You said: "I always thought you liked him very much. You took good care of him."

Ning Song said, "That's because we are friends. He is a bit dull and I think I should take care of him. And he does more for me... Maybe there is something wrong with me too. I have never thought about it in this way. How could he like me?"

Li You smiled and said, "Why can't I like you?"

"What does he like about me?" Ning Song said, "Because I am closer to him, so he likes me?"

Is this true love?

"Love is a very strange thing. Everyone has their own points, but Ning Song, it's normal for someone to like you. You don't know how many people like you."

Ning Song looked at Li You. Li You had a dark complexion, and only his eyes seemed to be sparkling in the night.

"You don't like boys?" Li You asked.

Ning Song said, “I don’t like it.”

Li You smiled.

And then he stopped talking.

Ning Song asked, "Have you ever been confessed to by a friend?"

Li You said: "A lot."

"Then you should understand my mood, right?" Ning Song immediately became excited.

Li You said, "I understand. I'll let you vent your anger later."

When they arrived at the gym, Li You raised his fist and said, "Come on, let out all your bad mood."

Ning Song and Li You practiced in the gym for more than an hour, and finally they were exhausted and lay on the floor, sweating profusely.

Li You lay down with him, and the two of them looked at the ceiling. Ningsong closed his eyes and suddenly felt very sad.

Li You placed his arms on his stomach and turned his head to look at Ning Song.

Ning Song's face was flushed, but her nose was very beautiful, and her chin was a little more fleshy, no longer so dry, and she looked very beautiful. Li You noticed that Ning Song opened her eyes, so he turned his head away and closed his eyes.

His eyelids were red, and Li You suddenly smiled again.

Ning Song turned to look at him: "What are you laughing at?"

Li You said: "I had a very short beautiful dream a few days ago. Now I think it's quite funny."

"What sweet dream?"

"I dreamed of a great hero coming to see me on a colorful cloud."

Ning Song knew he was talking nonsense. He smiled and got up. He picked up his phone and checked the time: "Let's go back. The museum is about to close."

Li You was lying on the floor and suddenly stretched out his hand.

He pulled Li You up. Li You was very heavy. He used all his strength to lift him up: "You look so thin, how can you be so heavy!"

Li You said: "There are a lot of old men."

Ning Song ignored his frivolity and smiled. Although he was very tired, he seemed to be much more relaxed. He felt a comfortable tiredness after releasing all his energy. When they left the gym, Li You asked him, "Are you feeling better?"

He said very seriously: "Thank you, Brother You, I feel much better now."

Li You stopped smiling and smoothed his hair.

After returning to the dormitory, Ning Song took a shower and planned to drink today's nutritional supplements before going to bed. When he opened the bag, he saw a small notebook on the bag.

His heart was pounding. Pu Yu took the bag and his first reaction was that Pu Yu had written him something like a letter.

If this was a heartfelt confession letter, he wouldn't even dare to read it.

He pursed his lips, took out the small notebook, and opened it. It was the English learning materials that Pu Yu had written for him, including a classification of the key and difficult points in the English textbooks starting from the first year of high school, his future study plan, classic sentences from Pu Yu's own English compositions, etc., a total of more than forty pages.

I don’t know when this huge project started.

There was also a piece of paper inside, which read: "I wrote this to you before, I have no other purpose, I hope you don't feel any burden from it."

Ning Song felt that if he kept thinking about it for a little longer, his eyes would get sore.

This Young Master Pu is so annoying.

He felt that Pu Yu was successful.

Because Pu Yu always wanted to be the most special person around him.

Now he has done it. Pu Yu used to be the same as Sheng Yan and Qiao Qiao, but now he is different from any of his friends.

He sat in the chair for a while, finally turned on his cell phone and sent a message to Pu Yu.

"Thank you."

The most exciting thing for the entire school this week is the weekend football game.

Upper East School had bad luck in the draw this year, as its first match was against its old rival Holy Grace School.

The feud between the two schools is worthy of a special mention. The feud between the two schools started a hundred years ago. As the two top boys' schools closest to each other in the four major public schools, the two schools have always had a love-hate relationship. When Li You was admitted to Upper East School, it was because Sheng'en School was the first to create a boxing subject and was the best among the middle schools in the Asian Federation. Upper East School was unwilling to lag behind and immediately made an exception to recruit a group of young boxers including Li You. This competitive relationship between the schools also extends to the students. Both schools think they are the best among the four major boys' schools and can't stand each other. However, they are both top boys' schools, so it is easy for them to collide in cultural and sports events.

Cultural competitions were fine, but when it came to sports competitions, it was really all smoke and fire. Now they were facing their arch-rival in the first preliminary round. Almost the entire Upper East Public School was mobilized. Even though Shen Lingsi disliked Pu Yu so much, their student union was also promoting the football team in full swing this week.

Sheng Yan had been concerned for the past two days about whether Ning Song would go to watch the game.

I both want him to go and don't want him to go.

Pu Yu's situation has always made him inexplicably worried, so he has been more reserved these days. It seems that if the relationship between Pu Yu and Ning Song eases a little, he will be more relaxed. But football is Pu Yu's territory, the most glorious field for this usually silent and withdrawn man, far surpassing his first-place points and grades at Upper East School, and he doesn't really want Ning Song to see it.

But Qiao Qiao has been trying hard to persuade Ning Song to go.

He has been feeling overly sympathetic recently and feels that Pu Yu is very pitiful.

He explained to Ning Song the generations-long feud between the two schools, how lively the game was and how inspiring it looked. He also talked about how awesome Pu Yu was in the high school rugby world, and how exciting it would be for those guys to see him lead the team to beat up Holy Grace College. In short, he talked about everything, and it would be a great regret in life if you didn't watch it!

Ning Song had always wanted to watch the football game, and with Qiao Qiao's temptation, he finally agreed during lunch on Friday: "There are no tickets. Do I have to go and reserve a seat in advance?"

Sheng Yan was still wavering, but now he was sure that he didn't want Ning Song to go! Thinking about the past years when Pu Yu's face was projected on the big screen and thousands of people cheered when he waved his hand, he felt that there were many crises!
