Honestly, as the school beauty, Shen Yanxin receives countless compliments every day.
If the person praising her hadn't been Xia Che, but someone else, Shen Yanxin would at most roll her eyes at that person, and in most cases, she probably wouldn't even bother to acknowledge them.
Even if you hear it, pretend you didn't.
"But the person who praised me was Xia Che... I worked so hard to get a compliment from him, it's really rare."
Shen Yanxin felt her cheeks burning hot, and even when she tried to cool them down with her icy hands, it had no effect.
The praise of someone you admire is the finest wine.
One sip, and you're intoxicated.
"Then let's listen to Xia Che, give him the cold shoulder, and ignore him..."
Swaying unsteadily, Shen Yanxin staggered towards her classroom, completely drunk.
Out of consideration for their friendship, she gave Li Junyang face and didn't directly mention his name. Shen Yanxin felt that she had already done more than enough.
After all, she only liked Xia Che.
...
Time flies, and before we knew it, it was time to leave school in the afternoon.
But this time, the end of school was more festive than usual.
This is simply because there is a three-day holiday.
With the college league approaching, Weiyang Middle School, as the best middle school in Jiang City, is the organizer and the venue for the league. It needs to decorate the campus in advance. Such a large-scale event is related to the reputation of the entire Weiyang Middle School, so it absolutely cannot lose face.
Of course, the venue needed for the league needed to be prepared, which led to something that excited all the students...
Have a holiday.
No student dislikes holidays, but the feeling of anticipation—the impending holiday yet not quite here yet—is what truly fuels the excitement.
This was the case in Class 7 at that moment. The teacher on the stage had tried to suppress the lively discussion from the students three times, but still couldn't. In desperation, the teacher simply let it go. As the pleasant school bell rang, the students scattered like birds.
In the blink of an eye, the classroom became empty, leaving only Xia Che, who had just woken up, and Jiang Yu, who was smiling helplessly beside him.
"That's ridiculous? It's only the first day of the holiday?"
Xia Che was dumbfounded.
"Strictly speaking, today is indeed the first holiday after the start of school, excluding the weekend, and I'm very excited."
Jiang Yu wore a faint smile.
She started smiling again.
Now, she no longer resists going to school; on the contrary, she has begun to like it. In the past, she looked forward to holidays every day, but now she feels that going to school is better.
No one bullied her anymore. Those who had bullied her in the past had all received their due punishment, and she herself had received an apology letter with bloody handprints.
Although the bloody handprints on it were quite frightening, the thought that Xia Che had gotten the apology letter on her behalf made her less afraid. Holding it in her arms, she felt an indescribable sense of security.
Sometimes, even when Xia Che was busy, other female classmates would take her to the restroom. Since learning about her past experiences, everyone was no longer as enthusiastic as before, and their interactions with her became more measured. They naturally showed kindness and were especially friendly to her.
Jiang Yu knew that all these changes were brought about by the seemingly frivolous boy beside her.
That's why she gradually became unwilling to be separated from him.
Even if it's just for a few days.
"I wish we could go to school every day instead of having holidays..."
This curse, which would be utterly outrageous for a high school student, appeared with unparalleled clarity in Jiang Yu's mind at this moment.
What are your plans for the holiday?
Xia Che quickly packed his schoolbag and expertly pushed Jiang Yu out of the classroom.
"Exams are coming up soon, so I'm planning to do some practice tests or something. If I want to relax... maybe I'll watch some TV shows?"
Jiang Yu tilted her head and started planning.
"Yeah, if you don't get some extra tutoring, your grades will really be at the bottom of the class. It's very likely that I'll be in Class 1 while you'll be stuck in Class 7. Hmm... how about this, I'll continue tutoring you tonight?"
"I don't have anything to do tonight anyway, so it won't hurt to eat a little more. I'm not afraid of walking at night."
Xia Che's gaze fell on Jiang Yu's hair, where there was a hint of dryness and yellowing. The plan he had made before class that afternoon gradually took shape in his mind.
"Huh? Tutoring? And... a little longer?"
Jiang Yu opened her mouth. Xia Che had been tutoring her before, and it was already quite late when he finished, usually around nine or ten o'clock. Now he was saying he wanted to tutor her a little longer, wouldn't that mean she would get home even later than before?
After 10 o'clock... the subway will have stopped running by then, so there's definitely no time to get home.
Could Xia Che mean something like...?
Are you going to stay at home tonight?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yu's beautiful face instantly turned red.
A sweet feeling, indescribable, welled up from the depths of her nervous heart.
"Okay, tonight then."
Xia Che, who was deep in thought about how to help Jiang Yu dye her hair, did not notice the girl and had already misunderstood.
"...Okay, I'm fine with anything."
Jiang Yu's upper body was tense, her small hands clenched involuntarily, and all she could hear was the pounding of her heart.
"Okay, it's settled then."
Xia Che chuckled.
After searching for so many hair dyeing guides online, he finally got the chance to try it out.
Xia Che took out his phone, briefly told Chu Yuying not to lock the door, and then pushed Jiang Yu to the supermarket to buy some necessities.
...
Jiang Yu's home is in an urban village.
"Huh? You...you're going to dye my hair?"
Jiang Yu was stunned. "Isn't this supposed to be tutoring?"
No wonder Xia Che bought so many bottles and jars when he went to the supermarket; they were all hair dye products.
"Yes, didn't you notice? A lot of places are yellow and withered... You're a girl, you must care about your appearance. I happened to have some free time today, so I dyed it for you. Come here, come here quickly."
Xia Che tied on his apron and waved, "Hurry up, we still have to cook later, don't waste time."
"Do you still need to cook?"
Jiang Yu was even more confused. Although Xia Che had cooked at her house before, his tone now... really sounded like the owner of the house, and the two of them were like a newlywed couple.
After getting off work, not wanting his wife to work too hard, he took on the responsibility of cooking...
What a perfect husband...
Jiang Yu felt her face burning up again.
"Hmm, what else? Instant noodles again?"
Xia Che pointed to the instant noodle box in the trash can, somewhat speechless, "Can you eat less of this stuff? It really affects your development. I can't cook for you every day, so you have to be careful too."
"I'm already very well developed..."
Jiang Yu was unconvinced. Her lips moved, and she squeezed out a rebuttal in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz. Then she looked down, pinched it a little, found that it wasn't very deep, and sighed silently.
