After Song Qingmo came out of the hospital that day, he and Mu Hengshi had no more contact until the day the high school entrance examination results were announced. Mu Hengshi, ranked first in the city, and Song Qingmo, ranked second in the city, were pulled to the school and asked to give a speech together and talk about the secret of their success.
At first, Song Qingmo didn't want to go after hearing the news, but as a good boy, Song Qingmo felt it was necessary to go to the school to talk about it. Although it was possible that he would go to Beijing No. 1 Middle School instead of continuing to study in the aristocratic college, Song Qingmo wanted to stay away from Mu Hengshi to prevent him from having another seizure.
On the stage, Mu Heng spoke eloquently, sharing his thoughts and experiences. He handled the other students' questions with ease, and when facing Song's parents and himself, he only glanced at them lightly, without revealing much expression. As Song Qingmo looked at Mu Heng on the stage, he keenly noticed that he had changed a lot. His eyes had changed from the coldness of the past to the fierce and coldness of a hawk. Those who were stared at by him were like his prey, without any emotion.
Song Qingmo thought about what he had said. It wouldn't be such a big blow to him, right? He had heard he'd agreed to a marriage with the Su family. The engagement ceremony would be held in three months. He'd already sent invitations to various wealthy families, but the Song family's invitation hadn't arrived yet.
Song Qingmo clapped his hands numbly, his mind preoccupied with other things. Suddenly, he heard thunderous applause, and he came to his senses. Seeing the principal glaring at him, he knew it was his turn to go on stage. When Song Qingmo walked onto the stage and stood beside Mu Hengshi, taking the microphone from him, Mu Hengshi suddenly said, "Hello, classmate Song, this is your microphone."
Song Qingmo suddenly got goosebumps, because when Mu Hengshi said this, he deliberately made his tone a little gentle. For Song Qingmo, who had always heard Mu Hengshi speak in a harsh tone, he was a little overwhelmed by his sudden politeness.
"Hmm, thank you." Song Qingmo took the phone from Mu Hengshi and felt something warm on the back of his hand. It was Mu Hengshi's hand, accidentally touching him. He quickly moved his hand away. He hadn't noticed it when they were friends before, but when he knew that Mu Hengshi was considering marrying him, Song Qingmo felt that these actions looked extremely strange in his eyes.
Mu Heng was closely watching Song Qingmo's movements. When he saw him hastily move his hand away, his eyes darkened. In a direction that no one else could see, he twitched his lips and revealed a mocking expression. "Are you really that disgusting to yourself? Then you better be mentally prepared from now on."
Mu Hengshi secretly stared at Song Qingmo's figure as he gave a speech on the stage. Song Qingmo felt like he was always being watched intently by a gaze. As he spoke, he slowly turned his angle to look in the direction of that gaze, observing Mu Hengshi, but Mu Hengshi had his head lowered and wasn't looking at him at all. Who was that? He then looked at Xu Fengyi, who was sitting behind Mu Hengshi, and saw that it was Xu Fengyi staring at him. He breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't Mu Hengshi staring at him, it would be fine. Xu Fengyi's words were still normal.
However, Xu Fengyi's life has not been easy recently. Because of the drugging incident, the Xu family has suffered crazy retaliation from the Mu family. Now the Xu family has expelled Xu's father's branch from the Xu family and removed them from the family. They have also cut off the relationship between the Xu family and Xu Fengyi and his family. At this moment, Xu Fengyi stared at Song Qingmo infatuatedly. He was afraid that he would hardly see him in the future, but Xu Fengyi still did not feel lonely. If he couldn't get Song Qingmo, then Mu Heng would forget it. After all, there was still one person he didn't need.
After Song Qingmo finished his speech, he walked over to sit next to Mu Hengshi. Since they were ranked first and second, they were arranged to sit together. Song Qingmo tried hard to move his body away from Mu Hengshi, but the chair was so small that he had nowhere to move. He could only curl up like a quail and lean against the other side of the chair.
Mu Hengshi had been paying attention to Song Qingmo's movements. Seeing Song Qingmo curled up on the chair, like a little white rabbit being stared at by a big bad wolf, shivering and hiding in a corner, Mu Hengshi couldn't help but want to laugh. Song Qingmo thought it was really strange. When I didn't like him before, he insisted on getting close to me, but when I really liked him, he wanted to stay away from me. Mu Hengshi felt that Song Qingmo was not like a little white rabbit at all. He was clearly a fox. After stealing someone's heart, he cruelly abandoned him. The person who lost his heart was left struggling in the same place, but he was indifferent. Now Song Qingmo is just a cunning fox who wants to disguise himself and get away with it under the pressure of an animal that is more ferocious than him.
"Mr. Song, what's wrong with you? You look so nervous. Are you that afraid of me?" Mu Hengshi asked Song Qingmo with a sincere expression on his face. Song Qingmo looked at him with the expression of an old man checking his phone. He just wanted to say, "You haven't lost your memory, have you? You've changed so much. Why are you hiding from him? Don't you have any idea? You're even pretending to be one." Okay, you want to be an actor, right? Then I'll pretend with you.
"No, classmate Mu, I just feel that it's a bit hot for two people to sit too close together." Song Qingmo also put on the perfect smile he had outside and replied.
"Hmm," Mu Hengshi replied flatly, and then nothing more. Song Qingmo thought of many ways to respond if Mu Hengshi tried to make things difficult for him, but Mu Hengshi's "Hmm" silenced all his thoughts. Song Qingmo could only turn his head away and listen quietly to the passionate speech of the colonel leader on the stage.
"By the way, classmate Song, which school do you want to go to?" Mu Heng asked Song Qingmo after a while.
Song Qingmo secretly clenched his fists, thinking, this is going to go on forever, right? How could he not know how annoying Mu Hengshi used to be? Wouldn't it be better to ask all the questions at once? Why did he have to take a break and start again? Song Qingmo had no choice but to turn his head away and said to Mu Hengshi's face with gritted teeth, "What's it to you?"
Mu Hengshi was not angry when he saw that Song Qingmo did not reply to him. It was as if they were just normal conversations between two top students in the same grade about their future prospects.
"Nothing, I just wanted to ask, if you choose to continue studying here, then I'll avoid you and try to stay away from you." Song Qingmo heard Mu Hengshi's tone as before. He wondered if this was Mu Hengshi. He was asking which school he was going to? He wasn't sick, he just wanted to stay away from him. That's good. Song Qingmo immediately felt a little relieved. He was no longer angry about Mu Hengshi's uncomfortable words just now, and answered straightforwardly: "I don't want to study here anymore, I want to go to No. 1 Middle School."
"Okay, I understand. Thank you for your answer." Mu Hengshi was satisfied with the response and turned around without saying anything more. First Middle School? Mu Hengshi placed his fingers on his legs and tapped them slowly, silently reciting the number of First Middle School that Song Qingmo had mentioned.
