Chapter 255 "if line" Another branch of the startled magpie (full text)

Lou Yanjing became a celebrity right after he entered school.

He was admitted to the key class of Kyoto No. 1 Middle School as the top scorer, and spoke on behalf of the outstanding freshmen at the opening ceremony.

It's rare for a teenager to wear his school uniform properly.

The deep eyebrows and eyes were set off by the white school uniform, which made her look elegant. Boys usually grow faster, and she was already over 1.8 meters tall.

The girls screamed when he first came on stage.

"Oh my god! He's so handsome..."

"He's the one who got first place in this year's high school entrance exam, right? He's so handsome, so good-looking, he's simply risking his life!"

"I suddenly feel like it's worth it to work so hard to get into a key school! I can go to the same school with such a handsome guy for the next three years!"

"Does he have a girlfriend? Does he have a girlfriend?"

"I don't have a girlfriend, but I may have a fiancée, Qi Yuzhi from the key class... I heard in junior high school that their families are old friends and they grew up together. The school hunk Qi Jiashu who just graduated last year is her brother."

The girls were instantly filled with disappointment.

It seems that the new school hunk has already been taken. Taking a peek at Qi Yuzhi, she is also a school beauty, and she has a cool and handsome brother to protect her.

But although I can't catch up.

It's a pleasure to have such a handsome guy around.

Pei Ji poked him with his elbow, looking happy and happy: "Brother Jing, I heard that your romantic opportunities have been throttled. Now the whole school is saying that Zhimei is your fiancée."

Lou Yanjing was twirling the basketball absentmindedly between his fingertips.

He didn't care much about this matter. He glanced at it and asked lazily, "Did Qi Yuzhi tell them?"

"How is that possible!" Pei Ji waved his hands. "How can Zhimei care about such a thing? If she could meet someone more handsome than you in school, she might even take the initiative to clarify the rumors."

Lou Yanjing: “…”

He frowned in annoyance: "Why? She's embarrassed to have a scandal with me?"

Pei Ji was gloating over the misfortune: "Yo! Jealous!"

He stopped spinning the basketball on his fingertips and pressed the ball into his palm: "Who is jealous? The rumored engagement is not true. It's up to her to like whoever she wants."

Pei Ji looked at Lou Yanjing with suspicion.

Recalling that he had started to climb over the wall and leave school early in junior high school to queue up to buy the popular cookies for Qi Yuzhi, he seemed too lazy to believe this man's lies.

Although he appears tough on the outside, he's probably feeling really good on the inside.

After all, when he was a child, he heard him urging Sheng Jinan to marry Zhimei, and he deliberately kicked a stone to hit his butt.

What's more.

Given Lou Yanjing's temper, if he really didn't want to bother with Zhimei, he wouldn't have been willing to be controlled by her since he was a child.

How is it possible to give her physics lessons every day!!!

Pei Ji sneered: "Oh, when she really likes someone else, you'd better be able to say this."

Lou Yanjing gently stroked the basketball with his fingertips.

He suddenly turned his head: "Pei Ji."

Pei Ji:?

Lou Yanjing pretended to ask casually: "Have you ever had a girl you liked?"

Pei Ji shook his head: "No."

Lou Yanjing asked: "Do you know what it feels like to like a girl and want to marry her?"

Pei Ji has watched quite a few idol dramas: "It should be that my heartbeat speeds up, I can't help but want to get closer, I want to feel my presence in front of her, I get jealous when I see her interacting with other opposite sex, and my mood swings are all related to her, that's it."

"Oh." Lou Yanjing drawled.

He seemed to be recalling something as Pei Ji said, and after a while he concluded, "No."

Pei Ji didn't understand: "What do you mean?"

Lou Yanjing raised her hand and threw the basketball to him: "At least now, I should just treat her as a sister."

Pei Ji was confused by Lou Yanjing's words.

He quickly raised his hand to grab the basketball and quickly chased after her: "Really? Brother Jing, you really don't like her? If you don't like Zhimei, can I pursue her?"

Lou Yanjing stopped abruptly.

He glanced at Pei Ji, not knowing whether to laugh or not, and sneered sinisterly, warning: "Just try to pursue her if you dare."

Pei Ji: ???

Hey! Didn’t you say you only treat me as your sister?

-

Qi Yuzhi is also very popular in school.

Ever since the freshman orientation ceremony, whenever her name was mentioned, it was associated with her identity as Lou Yanjing's fiancée.

But everything changed completely after the welcome party.

A gentle and graceful ballet, jade fingers and bare arms, a slender waist and thin bones, like a swan covered with starlight, instantly made her appear in everyone's sight with her own name.

The name of Qi Yuzhi, the little swan of Kyoto, quickly spread throughout the school with popularity that was no less than that of Lou Yanjing.

But she also has a very good personality.

Bright and generous, enthusiastic but not ostentatious.

The girls in the class were all happy to make friends with Qi Yuzhi, and even many senior students were eager to make the move.

Although she had heard that she was Lou Yanjing's fiancée, she couldn't help but secretly come over and call Qi Yuzhi to the corridor when he was not in class, and handed her chocolates and a heart-shaped greeting card.

Boldly confessed to her: "Junior sister Qi Yuzhi, I really like you, would you like to get in touch with me?"

Qi Yuzhi, who is in her first year of high school, has not yet fully grown.

But her small face, which is as big as a palm, and her pretty, delicate and splendid facial features have already highlighted her genes of a bright and beautiful woman.

She had her hair in a cute high ponytail.

Holding the book in her arms, she raised her face and looked at the handsome and elegant senior who could be called the most popular student in the class.

But it seems that it is still far inferior to Lou Yanjing.

Then just put up a shield.

Qi Yuzhi blinked her long, curly eyelashes, curved her eyes and smiled brightly: "Thank you for liking me, senior, but my family has arranged it, and I have no say in the marriage. I'm sorry."

Lou Yanjing was leaning lazily against the corner wall.

He happened to pass by and with a glance, he saw a pretty boy in the third year of high school handing chocolates and a love letter to Qi's little girl.

Qi Yuzhi raised his eyes and smiled brightly.

She looked like she was very happy to be confessed to...

Lou Yanjing felt inexplicably irritated: "Tsk."

He couldn't hear what Xiao Baicai said to the other person, so he simply walked towards her like a lightning bolt, grabbed her wrist and carried her back to the classroom.

In full view of everyone, he pushed her back to her seat, bent over and rested his arms on the desk, and in a somewhat forceful and arrogant manner, he held Qi Yuzhi in the small space between his arms.

Everyone cheered: "Wow——"

Qi Yuzhi's face wrinkled slightly: "Lou Yanjing, what are you doing?"

Lou Yanjing raised his hand and tugged at her collar impatiently. He felt unhappy when he thought of the way she smiled at people just now. It was the same feeling he had when Pei Ji told him that he wanted to pursue her.

He didn't know why.

But I just want to ask an answer: "What did that pretty boy say to you just now? Did he confess his love to you? Did you agree to him?"

"Yes." Qi Yuzhi nodded slightly.

Lou Yanjing's brows knitted together instantly, and a strong feeling of irritation and jealousy spread instantly, and his mood became gloomy.

He took a deep breath and was about to say something.

Qi Yuzhi grabbed the corner of his clothes and said, "It was a confession, but I rejected it. I just wanted to find you to make a false statement so as not to reveal the truth. I told him that you were my fiancé."

Lou Yanjing was stunned.

The brows that were tightly furrowed just now relaxed instantly, and the sinking heart seemed to jump back to its original position after her words, and the jealousy just now was replaced by secret joy and secret happiness.

Lou Yanjing was very happy at that time.

His eyebrows and eyes were raised, and his tone was casual: "Okay, no problem. Remember to treat me to a meal this weekend to repay me."

Qi Yuzhi made an OK sign next to her cheek.

She raised her eyes slightly and scanned his expression quietly, then calmly watched Lou Yanjing stand up.

After he turned his back, Qi Yuzhi's hands, which were holding the hem of her school uniform skirt under the desk, loosened their grip as she held her breath.

My deskmate quickly came over to gossip, "Zhizhi, is Lou Yanjing really your fiancé?"

Qi Yuzhi opened her lips slightly: "Ah..."

She quickly lowered her eyes and cleaned up her desk: "It was just a joke from my family. We didn't want to be in a relationship, so we used each other as shields."

"Really?" My deskmate seemed to be thinking about something.

She recalled the look Lou Yanjing had given Qi Yuzhi just now, and murmured to herself: "She doesn't look like just a shield..."

-

The senior who was rejected by Qi Yuzhi was quite honest.

After he returned, his good friends came to ask about the result. The senior student sighed sadly: "It turns out that the rumors are true. She does have a fiancé. It's better not to be an intruder..."

Then the news spread like wildfire.

The girls who had previously felt lucky and thought that the fiancé CP was just a rumor were also heartbroken and could only completely give up the idea of ​​trying to confess to Lou Yanjing.

As a result, during the autumn campus basketball games, no girl was brave enough to take the initiative to bring water to Lou Yanjing.

The autumn weather is crisp and the sun is shining brightly.

Lou Yanjing wore a red jersey over a white short-sleeved jacket. With his tall and unruly figure and deep and handsome eyebrows, he stood out among the red and blue figures.

Qi Yuzhi was watching him from the audience holding a bottle of mineral water.

The boy still looked lazy and arrogant. He bent over and dribbled the ball seemingly nonchalantly, waiting for the other side to snatch it away.

But when the blue team forward rushed forward.

Lou Yanjing, however, seemed to be in control of the situation. He raised his lower lip lazily, and then made a quick fake move to get around the opponent. He then spun around with the ball, stood outside the three-point line, and shot a jump shot.

His clear and sexy wrist was bent casually.

When he jumped up, the hem of his jersey was lifted slightly by his hand movements, revealing a white and lean belly. His abdominal muscles suddenly tightened with his movements.

This was not the first time Qi Yuzhi saw his abdominal muscles.

But the three-pointer went in, igniting the atmosphere at the scene. As a spectator, she couldn't help but stand up and shout for him: "Ahhhhh, come on, Lou Yanjing!!!"

The boy who completed the three-point shot turned around at will.

He bent over to pick up the hem of his coat, wiped the sweat from his forehead, then chuckled arrogantly, and almost subconsciously raised his head to look in the direction of the audience.

Then he saw Qi Yuzhi holding up his name tag.

In the audience of Grade 1 (1), my face flushed with excitement as I shouted his name with bright enthusiasm.

Somehow, he seemed to enjoy this sort of thing.

Originally, he just wanted to play casually, no need to show off, as long as he beat the opponent. But when he saw Qi Yuzhi cheering for him, he suddenly wanted to perform better.

Serve again.

The ball was dribbled into the team's side by a teammate, but was snatched away by the opponent. Lou Yanjing immediately intercepted the ball, turned around, broke through the tight defense, made a quick stop jump shot, and the basketball went into the net again amid screams.

Pei Ji was speechless on the opposing team.

He wiped the sweat off his face with his headband. "Fuck, didn't you say you would hold back? You're showing off your basketball skills to someone!!!"

Lou Yanjing ignored Pei Ji's roar.

He continued to show off his basketball skills, enjoying the screams from the audience and listening to Qi Yuzhi calling his name.

In the end, the Red Team won with a 55-point lead.

Pei Ji was pretending to kick Lou Yanjing's butt from behind, while the one who won the game walked towards the audience seats in high spirits.

Qi Yuzhi ran over to bring him some water: "Not bad, it turns out that classmate Lou Xiaojue is so good at playing basketball."

Lou Yanjing raised his hand and took the water that Qi Yuzhi handed to him.

He was secretly happy in his heart, and smiled slightly: "Not bad."

A classmate nearby used his arms to shake his friends next to him, asking them to look at the sweet scene of the handsome man and beautiful woman over there.

Classmates: “Bumped again and again!”

Lou Yanjing casually raised his hand and threw the medal he received into Qi Yuzhi's hand: "The gold medal is for you."

Qi Yuzhi blinked her eyelashes and said, "Then when I win the championship trophy in the ballet competition later, I will give it to you as well."

Lou Yanjing laughed wantonly: "Okay, wait."

-

Qi Yuzhi's ballet competition is next month.

She asked for leave from her homeroom teacher and went to the dance club's rehearsal room to practice dancing every evening.

Pei Ji felt that something was wrong with Lou Yanjing recently.

Compared to what he said before, that it was up to Qi Yuzhi to like whoever she wanted, it seemed like he was watching her extra closely now.

I heard that recently there are always boys running into the rehearsal room during breaks to peek at Qi Yuzhi's dancing, so Lou Yanjing simply skipped class and rushed over, and everyone scattered the moment they saw him.

Qi Yuzhi was sitting on the floor putting on her ballet shoes.

Her shoulders and neck were straight, one of her slender white legs was bent, and she was putting her toes on the ground with her instep tied up as she was tying the straps of her ballet shoes up from her ankles.

Lou Yanjing bent down lazily.

He picked up the other dance shoe strap with interest and casually wrapped it around his hand. He narrowed his eyes at the girl who was wearing the other shoe and asked, "How long have you been practicing?"

"Hmm?" Qi Yuzhi raised her eyelashes and looked at him.

She tilted her head to look out the window at the night, and saw a bright full moon hanging on the tree branches. "Let's practice for another hour or so. You're here, so help me figure out where I'm not dancing well."

Lou Yanjing sneered in a very low voice and turned his face away pretending to be lazy: "I don't understand it again."

He just came here to keep watch.

"Sure." Qi Yuzhi extended her hand towards Lou Yanjing.

Lou Yanjing shifted his gaze back, thinking that she wanted him to pull her up, so he raised his hand to hold her.

As a result, Qi Yuzhi pointed her index finger at the strap.

Lou Yanjing closed her eyes, then realized that he had misunderstood her. She untied the straps of her dancing shoes from her hands and handed them back to her.

Qi Yuzhi smiled and said, "Although you don't understand ballet, you were my only spectator before the competition."

Lou Yanjing's expression froze.

He looked at Qi Yuzhi with drooping eyelashes, and felt as if his calm heartstrings were suddenly plucked.

The girl stood up from the floor.

The white ballet skirt that was originally puffed up around her also fell down in the moonlight as she stood up.

Speaking of which.

Lou Yanjing had never watched Qi Yuzhi dance seriously before.

He felt that he could not appreciate such high art, and he did not think he had the patience for it.

But Qi Yuzhi invited me warmly.

Lou Yanjing really couldn't refuse her and just turned and left. There was still an inexplicable feeling in his heart that made him stay there, and it seemed that he had no intention of leaving at all.

So he simply stayed.

He leaned against the wall of the rehearsal room with his arms around his body in a casual posture, in the direction with the best viewing angle, ready to enjoy this ballet she danced just for him.

The waltz began.

The translucent white gauze curtains fluttered slightly.

The slender girl was wearing a snow-white ballet skirt, with her right toe touching the ground and her left leg lightly raised.

The gentle moonlight fell on her shoulders and neck.

The girl stretched out her arms and enjoyed dancing on pointe to the graceful waltz.

She has a bright smile.

As she stood on tiptoe and did a spinning dance, her eyes were clear and her smile was bright as she looked at Lou Yanjing.

Lou Yanjing felt his heart skip a beat.

His eyes were dark as he stared at the girl dancing under the moon without blinking. Suddenly, he felt his usually calm heart begin to beat unusually fast at this moment.

The night was clear.

The full moon outside the window was just above the girl's head.

Before this moment.

He once thought that his feelings for Qi Yuzhi were just the affection between neighboring siblings, so how could there be any talk of engagement or love?

But he happened to stay and see this dance.

Later, he would remember this night every day——

The bright moon shines on the branches, the swan flaps its wings, and it is startled for a moment.
