Why I like it
There was light in Chen Xing's eyes, but when she heard Wen Yu ask her why she liked ginkgo trees, she suddenly hesitated.
Chen Xing's eyes slowly drooped before he answered, "Because it's beautiful. Its golden leaves are like gold coins. When the wind blows, they rustle, making a beautiful sound like wind chimes."
Wen Yu smiled slightly when he heard this and said, "It's not that exaggerated, is it?"
Chen Xing didn't look into Wen Yu's eyes, because he could always see through her heart. At this time, Chen Xing did not open her heart.
Chen Xing's low voice sounded, "But I just like it."
Wen Yu: "Yeah, I understand."
When Chen Xing raised his head again, he only saw Wen Yu's profile, shining with a sunny smile.
After that day, Chen Xing always felt guilty for deceiving Wen Yu, especially since she said such exaggerated words, but Wen Yu still believed her as if it were a joke, which made Chen Xing feel uneasy.
Chen Xing wasn't sure if Wen Yu really knew, but she hadn't reached the point where she could be honest with him. Maybe one day he would know.
After the four of them punished evil and promoted good outside of school, the high school freshman confessed everything to his parents and teachers. Those who framed Shen Xuyang apologized in person, but Shen Changzhou did not.
This incident has passed, and Shen Xuyang has been recognized by his teachers and classmates, but he is still not used to them looking at him with kind eyes. He still feels that being feared is more impressive.
But no matter what, they all knew that Shen Xuyang would not really bully others, and the "bully" in his school bully's name was just domineering.
That night, when Shen Xuyang returned home, he saw that the lights were still on. He usually faced an empty house alone.
Because Shen Changzhou was busy with work and often on business trips, he couldn't take care of Shen Xuyang. He hired a nanny for him several times, but Shen Xuyang got angry and drove her away. Later, there was no one to take care of his daily life and diet.
However, the living expenses that Shen Changzhou gave Shen Xuyang every month were enough for him to eat five-star meals outside every day, so he was still doing okay. After all, the only thing he could give him was money.
After Shen Xuyang changed his shoes, he heard some noise in the kitchen. He knew that it was Shen Changzhou who came back, but he didn't care.
"Son, it's time for dinner, wash your hands quickly!" Shen Changzhou came out of the kitchen carrying the last soup.
Shen Xuyang heard Shen Changzhou's flattering voice without even looking at him. He knew that Shen Changzhou was feeling guilty. After all, he couldn't bring himself to apologize to him. He was a big boss who was high above everyone else. How could he speak softly to his own son? It would only lower his status.
Shen Xuyang changed his shoes with disdain and walked upstairs, leaving only one sentence, "Don't call me son, otherwise I will call you grandson!"
Shen Changzhou deliberately postponed a dinner party today and rushed back to have a meal with Shen Xuyang as an apology.
"What nonsense are you talking about, you little bastard?"
Shen Xuyang walked to the second floor and looked at Shen Changzhou on the first floor with the attitude of a superior, with a wicked smile on his face.
"You scared me to death. I thought you were possessed by a ghost. You look much better now."
After Shen Xuyang finished speaking, he went into the room without waiting for Shen Changzhou to get angry, slammed the door, locked it, and put on his headphones. What happened outside had nothing to do with him from then on.
Shen Changzhou was angry again, and finally laughed out of anger. He looked at the table full of food alone and sighed.
He didn't know when it started, but the number of times he went home could be counted on one hand. What he owed to Shen Xuyang was something he could never make up for in his lifetime.
Shen Changzhou not only owes Shen Xuyang, he also owes his mother. He probably won't have a chance in this life or the next.
The only person in this family who loved Shen Xuyang and could accompany him is no longer with him. Shen Xuyang has been sad, fallen, and lonely, but now he is not alone and is very happy.

Before I knew it, this semester has come to an end. The time in the third year of high school always goes by so quickly.
December is a romantic poem at the end of the year, marking the end of one year and the beginning of a new one.
As winter approaches, the days are getting shorter and shorter. Not only are students reluctant to leave their warm beds, but even the sun is reluctant to shine any brighter.
For the sake of the students, the school decided to cut down the ginkgo tree that had grown for many years in the enclosed courtyard of the teaching building.
The ginkgo tree in the courtyard of the teaching building has existed since the school was founded, but it had not grown into the towering tree it is today.
As time went by, the thin little tree grew into a big shade-providing tree, just enough to block out the winter sun.
When Chen Xing learned that the school was going to cut down a tree, she had no ability to stop it, and she knew she couldn't change anything, but the tree accompanied Chen Xing for nearly three years.
Chen Xing is sentimental and has deep reliance on the tree. The tree has also given Chen Xing a sense of security during countless days of confusion. Just by sitting under the tree, Chen Xing feels comforted.
Chen Xing had never told anyone about her fragility, as if her heart was always wandering and restless, unable to find a safe place to shelter from the rain.
The school will start construction this weekend. Chen Xing didn’t sleep all night last night and came to school early this morning, wanting to see it off for the last time.
Generally, schools do not allow students to enter the campus on weekends. No matter how Chen Xing explained, the security guard still stopped Chen Xing outside the door.
"Uncle, just let me in and take a look. I'll be out soon. Is that not possible?" Chen Xing had just seen the lumberjacks entering the school, and she was afraid it was too late.
The security guard is also working according to the school rules and regulations, how can he be lenient?
Chen Xing was almost crying in anxiety until she heard a voice full of hope calling her.
"Chen Xing."
Chen Xing turned around and saw Wen Yu behind her, "Why are you here?"
Wen Yu smiled faintly, "Follow me!"
Wen Yu extended his hand towards Chen Xing. Chen Xing looked at Wen Yu's warm smile. Why did she feel at ease at this moment?
Chen Xing didn't know where Wen Yu was going to take her, but she still reached out her hand, subconsciously trusting him.
Wen Yu has always been gentle, and his smile is just like him.
Wen Yu and Chen Xing stopped outside a wall in the school yard. There were two large iron barrels outside the wall, which should be the things that had not been taken away yet.
Wen Yu forced this place out of Shen Xuyang yesterday. After all, Shen Xuyang had several places to climb over the wall. Every time he was caught by the dean, he had one less place. This was the last one.
Last time, Shen Xuyang also brought Shi Nannan out from here by climbing over the wall. It was the only excellent spot in the school that had not been discovered.
Chen Xing seemed to understand what Wen Yu meant. "Are you asking me to climb over the wall?"
Wen Yu raised his lips and said, "It seems that this is the only way. If you are afraid..."
"I'm not afraid, come on!" Chen Xing was already prepared. He was just confused because he didn't expect that a good student like Wen Yu would also climb over the wall.
Wen Yu: "I'll carry you up first. You step on the iron bucket on the side. When I get there, you come down."
