Chapter Twenty-Nine: Quietly
I endured and endured this month in Sui'an.
You Sui'an waited and waited, and finally, two days before the college entrance examination for senior high school students arrived.
"Yay! Senior high school students finally have their exams! Time for vacation!"
Great news! It's the college entrance exam break, they're saved! They're being driven crazy by homework, and finally they have a chance to catch their breath.
The homeroom teacher looked at them with pity. These idiots, why assign so little homework for each subject? Of course, it's because when they come back from vacation they'll be practically seniors, and things will only get more tiring.
However, he didn't shatter the children's illusions. He just clicked his tongue twice, shook his head, and sighed as they cheered, "Still not mature enough."
"Alright, put it away. We need to clean the classroom later to prepare it for their exams."
No one felt disappointed; everyone was thrilled about the upcoming holiday.
The college entrance exam lasted three days. I went back a day early and didn't return until the morning after the exam.
This vacation is too extravagant!
And there's hardly any homework.
You Sui'an is like a bird returning to its nest, its eyes brimming with undisguised joy.
Yay!
Nobody dislikes holidays.
She now feels that moving the books back to her dorm isn't such a bad thing anymore.
Ten minutes...
You Sui'an retracted his previous statement.
During the last class in the afternoon, the teacher let them get started. There were so many books that many people would have to move them two or three times. Li Yunxing planned to move more books at once so he could also help You Sui'an move some.
Thankfully, the teacher mentioned yesterday that we needed to move books, otherwise, with all my hands, I feel like my hands would be ruined.
You Suian dragged a small cart downstairs; it was the kind of cart she used to move her luggage when school started, but it wasn't very big, so it wasn't heavy.
Tang Qingyue did the same, freeing up one suitcase to pull out books. However, You Sui'an had a lot of things, and they were all messy. Both of her suitcases were full, and she couldn't free up any space.
You Suianbi hates carrying books downstairs. They're heavy, and since they're on the 5th floor, she has to stop and catch her breath every time she walks. This was the same thing she did when she carried unwanted books back to her dorm before the end of the semester.
Besides, the school is too big; it takes a long time to walk there.
As You Sui'an stared at the pile of books with some irritation, Li Yunxing ran over.
Li Yunxing ran to her side: "Take a little less at a time later, and I'll help you carry the rest."
You Suian thought that was wonderful, and she smiled sweetly, "Thank you!"
Hehe. That's great. So cute.
She was exhausted from moving for the first time. She caught her breath and continued moving, dragging her tired feet upstairs.
She was almost exhausted when she reached the fourth floor, but she still walked one more floor and returned to their classroom.
She was almost exhausted after carrying it down the second time, panting heavily, but she forced herself to go back up.
On the way, Li Yunxing had already taken a large pile of books, all of which were hers. She took half of them from him and didn't feel too tired.
Li Yunxing is really great.
She would have to push her little cart twice, as she couldn't finish it in one go. She packed it once and walked side by side with Li Yunxing to Lingyun Building, the senior high school building.
Their dormitory is not far from that building.
Despite covering a distance of two or three hundred meters and carrying a storage box full of books, Li Yunxing was only slightly out of breath, which made You Sui'an truly envious.
After leaving these things on a bench downstairs in the dormitory, You Suian sat down to rest for a while before they went back.
"Could you toss me some books? I've only packed half of mine. I'll help you move them over; it'll make things much easier."
You Suian looked at his empty cart and gestured to Li Yunxing to throw his books in.
She wasn't too worried about their books getting mixed up and not being able to recognize each other.
You Sui'an's books are always wrinkled, sometimes because they've been folded, sometimes because they've been soaked in water.
Li Yunxing's was much tidier.
Li Yunxing smiled and said, "Okay."
Although he wasn't very tired, he appreciated You Sui'an's concern.
Moreover, it was indeed less effort for You Suian to do this, because if she was tired, she wouldn't bother helping herself. So this wasn't just a polite remark, and how could Li Yunxing refuse You Suian's kindness?
Summer was hot, and their hearts were restless as well.
Li Yunxing looked at her beautiful face. The sunlight filtering through the branches and leaves shrouded her in a hazy mist, making her seem both distant and approachable.
Once again, when they arrived at the dormitory building, You Suian took out Li Yunxing's book.
Li Yunxing took it from her hand.
It was warm, still carrying her body heat, and the book's cool outer shell warmed up as well.
You Sui'an smiled and said, "Goodbye."
Li Yunxing smiled back and said, "Goodbye."
You Sui'an murmured softly, "Goodbye," it sounded so beautiful.
After they finished moving their things, they went their separate ways. It just so happened that the self-study period was about to end, so You Suian went back to his dormitory to take a shower.
It was almost time for evening self-study, and You Sui'an leisurely returned to the classroom.
The classroom was so empty, there was nothing left, even the large characters above the blackboard had been covered up with paper by the teacher.
They left behind only a few scattered assignments and pens.
Once tonight is over, they will be able to go home as they wish.
But why do I feel so empty inside?
You Sui'an didn't know. Perhaps many people think so too.
You Suian usually just doesn't like to do her homework in advance, but today she was bored, so she decided to do her holiday homework first. Unexpectedly, she finished it before nine o'clock.
She was somewhat surprised.
You Sui'an glanced to the side and saw that Tang Qingyue had brought some extra homework, it looked like a set of test papers?
Shen Furong and Qi Xiaoqian are writing a little slower, but they also have homework to do now.
well.
You Sui'an's gaze shifted to Li Yunxing.
She propped herself up on her hands and watched Li Yunxing do her homework.
As if sensing her gaze, Li Yunxing looked up, and their eyes met.
Looking at You Sui'an's empty desktop, Li Yunxing found it somewhat amusing.
Hmph, he's so smart. He knew that You Sui'an would only bring a little bit of homework.
Li Yunxing whispered, "I just forgot to put a book away. Would you like to take a look?"
You Sui'an's eyes lit up.
Wow, you're so kind.
"It's just... I just happened to forget to take it back."
You Sui'an smiled and didn't expose him.
She took the book, intending to read it in the next class. The teacher allowed them to read extracurricular books during the last evening study session, but they weren't allowed to yet.
She checked the time.
20:57.
There are still more than ten minutes until get out of class ends.
She remained bored, lying on the table and scribbling on the draft paper.
Her mind was in a mess; the moment she picked up a pen, she saw Li Yunxing.
From the first time she approached him to the moment he smiled and said goodbye today.
You Suian unconsciously recalled their chance encounter at the laundry room that night.
The road was shady and cool, with swaying shadows of trees; it was winter. She liked winter.
She picked up her pen and wrote.
"Ambiguous light swept across the shadows of the green leaves, and you waited."
A soft breeze brushed against my blushing cheeks, and I smiled.
She continued writing.
"I melted away my worries, and then I saw you."
In the most hidden corners, silently and stealthily, they conquer and seize territory.
She was reluctant to wipe it away. Even if no one knew, even if it was inappropriate.
I'll copy it into my diary next time.
You Sui'an has always been very obedient. Her parents told her not to have a relationship too early, and she behaved herself. However, she couldn't control her feelings.
We didn't talk about it; I just like it, and no one can object to that.
You Sui'an continued to comfort himself.
It turns out that love can make timid people step forward, and it can also make carefree people feel conflicted.
But she never doubted her own heart.
Therefore, we forge ahead without hesitation.
She stroked the book that Li Yunxing had given her, which was hidden in the drawer of the table.
It is a collection of Tagore's poems.
She liked it very much.
Time passed quickly.
The night is quiet.
Regardless of how the students fared yesterday, everyone was excited this morning.
Who can resist an extended holiday?
Anyway, I won't go to Sui'an.
After boarding the school bus with Tang Qingyue, You Sui'an looked back.
The school buildings are very beautiful. Their teaching building is long and winding, giving it a soft and graceful beauty.
Yet it is grand and magnificent, and resilient.
This is probably the last time I'll be in this building.
The school stipulates that they must move to Lingyun Building as soon as they graduate from senior year.
Every graduating class of high school seniors goes there.
She felt somewhat lost and dejected.
You Suian has always been perceptive, so her emotions are always strange. If they didn't come and go quickly, she would have been too overwhelmed by them to walk long ago.
Tang Qingyue pulled her hand.
For some reason, You Sui'an suddenly came to life.
Like a dead tree that comes back to life in winter, or a sensitive plant that has been touched.
In any case, You Sui'an has many, many good friends.
Therefore, she still has unlimited motivation.
She tickled Tang Qingyue's palm.
Tang Qingyue took her hand up and then reached out to grasp her mischievous hand.
The two of them obediently went home.
Li Yunxing noticed that You Sui'an's WeChat Moments background image seemed to have changed.
It has become a nebula at some point.
Li Yunxing was somewhat at a loss, but her hand had already clicked save.
This nebula is filled with star clusters, luminous gas, and thick dust.
Hazy yet dazzling.
Like her.
Spider Wolf Nebula.
She knows a lot.
Nebula... Is she hinting at something, or just changing it casually?
He had already decided to take the initiative, so even though he was a little embarrassed, he went to find You Suian.
[Meteor]: Your WeChat Moments background picture is really nice... Is it because of me?
You Sui'an originally thought he wouldn't find out for a long time.
【^o^】: Guess!
[Meteorite]: Yes, right?
Li Yunxing couldn't help but chuckle at her unpunctuated sentence; as always.
You Suian liked to tease him, but now she simply stopped talking, wanting to see what Li Yunxing would do in the end.
[Meteor]: I was just being delusional.
[Meteorite]: [Puppy sighing.jpg]
Help! Why is he acting all cute again? You Suian couldn't help but picture his wet, watery eyes.
It's more beautiful than any nebula.
Even the Rose Nebula, which has always been associated with the definition of love.
【^o^】:Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore, yes, hehe
Li Yunxing was overjoyed.
He immediately had an idea and changed his ID to [Nebula].
Previously, he typed "Meteor" randomly, but now he has a more preferred name for it.
You Suian didn't notice that she always had a habit of adding nicknames to everyone's contacts because she didn't chat much, so she couldn't remember many people's names and profile pictures.
You Sui'an may seem lively and outgoing, but he actually keeps very formal and meticulous notes for each of his peers, only writing their names.
Of course, she didn't notice that Li Yunxing had changed her name.
When stars and nebulae transform into each other, enormous forces impact the surrounding spacetime, yet people billions of light-years away remain completely unaware.
Silent and unseen, yet magnificent and wondrous.
