Strawberry flavor
The first thing I saw when I looked up was him.
A gentle breeze blew by, ruffling the hair by her ears.
She shivered and happened to meet his gaze. Her face flushed, the girl pretended to lie back on her desk and go to sleep, but her attempt failed.
I secretly took my diary from my desk, opened the first page, and saw the words I had written before.
September 1, 2019, sunny.
The boy, dressed in a white T-shirt, long black casual pants, and blue canvas shoes, appeared at the classroom door with a crossbody bag. I learned his name was "Ye Ziyi".
It was the first time a boy and a girl met under the sunlight; it was the girl's joy, but the boy's displeasure.
September 3rd, sunny.
[The cafeteria is very close to each other.]
"The distance is already very close, that's enough."
September 6th, sunny.
"On a rainy day, he ran into my umbrella. It was the first time I'd been so close, I could hear his breathing. He even walked me back to my dorm." Finally, I gently closed the umbrella.
Turning around, he saw Fu Yanjin, who had just woken up and was still in a daze, staring at him. "...Why are you looking at me like that?" His hand stealthily moved the diary, almost slipping it inside.
She was suddenly pinned down by a paw. "Mmm..." Her head rested on Jiang Yanmu's shoulder. "Let me lean on you and sleep a little longer."
"Ah? Okay." They weren't caught, and their tension subsided. With the National Day holiday approaching, they were like kettles boiling over.
Everyone was eager to leave... I watched him, watched him tidy up, watched him leave the classroom until he was completely out of sight. I stared blankly at the door, my hand hovering in mid-air. Fu Yanjin patted me on the shoulder next to me, making me shiver. "Jiang Xiaoyan, hurry up." Coming back to my senses, I realized that I was almost the only one left in the classroom.
She hastily stuffed a few books into her hand, then followed, saying, "Oh, you're here." As she walked out of the school gate, she saw him standing by the roadside, kicking a stone back and forth. Jiang Yanmu stopped. Fu Yanjin, who was beside her, followed her gaze, nudged Jiang Yanmu's shoulder, and teased, "Want to go?"
"Um……"
"Sure, go for it! Don't be shy, beautiful!"
"Never mind, let's go." Fu Yanjin knew Jiang Yanmu would answer like that, so he simply pulled her over.
She resisted while saying, "Ayan, goodbye."
"If you're not going, I'll go by myself~ I told you it was you who wanted it~"
"I didn't!" she cried, her face flushed with anxiety. "Okay, okay, then... just for a little while, just for a little while." After hesitating for a long time, she finally stepped out.
Fu Yanjin said with the joy of an old mother, "That's right, your daughter has grown up, and your mother is very pleased."
"Get lost!" She shoved Fu Yanjin aside and walked to Ye Ziyi's side. Her previous imposing manner vanished instantly, and she clutched the hem of her clothes, her voice as faint as a fly's buzz. "Ye Ziyi, um... what are you doing here?"
Fu Yanjin, watching from a distance, rubbed her forehead and opened WeChat, saying, "Sister, speak louder! Do you think the other person can hear you if you speak so softly?" She silently counted down her steps for three minutes before mustering her courage and taking another step closer. "Classmate Ye!"
The boy looked up at the girl. "Hmm?" After receiving the protagonist's reply, he took a deep breath and asked, "Why are you here alone?"
"Waiting for a friend."
"Oh, I see. Then I'll go with you." Without thinking, she blurted out, "No, I meant I'm waiting for a friend too."
"Okay, let's go together."
"Great!" She thought to herself, secretly delighted. "He said we could go together! Oh my god! I'm so happy!"
People in the distance watched their heartwarming scene with satisfaction, swooning over them like fools. Shen Kuo arrived, and Fu Yanjin, who was grinning foolishly to the side, casually remarked, "Is this guy crazy? Grinning like an idiot in the middle of the street."
Hearing Shen Kuo's words enraged Fu Yanjin. She stepped forward, grabbed his clothes, and yelled, "What did you say?!"
——
"Ye, you..." Fu Yanjin called out as she saw him pulling someone along. "Yanjin, what are you doing?"
He immediately let go of Shen Kuo's clothes and clapped his hands in disgust.
"Oh, I just heard a dog talking."
"Who? Who are you calling a dog—" Shen Kuo said through gritted teeth, his face contorted in a grimace.
"Whoever just spoke is a dog." She laughed smugly, clearly annoyed. Jiang Yanmu stepped forward, took Fu Yanjin's arm, and coaxed her, "Alright, alright, let's not be angry anymore."
"Okay~ Let me kiss you, mua~" Looking at Ye Ziyi standing to the side, she remembered what she had just done and her face turned red. She grabbed Fu Yanjin's hand tightly and cried out in pain, "Jiang Xiaoyan, you're hurting me."
Coming to her senses, she said, "Ah, sorry, Ayan." Seeing Jiang Yanmu and the little rabbit looking equally startled, she couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Pfft!"
"What are you laughing at?" Ye Ziyi was about to speak when he was interrupted by a flirtatious man.
One look at him and you could tell he was a slut. He whistled in a lewd manner, put his arm around Ye Ziyi's shoulder, and teased Jiang Yanmu, "Oh, you even brought two young girls to wait for me."
The person who was being hung up walked to the side with a look of disgust and said, "Get lost! Being with you is affecting my IQ."
"I'm done loving you," she said, tears welling up in her eyes.
"Have you ever?" Ye Ziyi said dismissively. Shen Kuo, in perfect unison, moved away from the sassy man upon hearing this. At that moment, he temporarily blacklisted him from their group chat.
Turning to Jiang Yanmu, he said, "That's just how he is. It's best to stay away from him in the future." Jiang Yanmu covered her mouth, laughing as she said, "Hahaha, okay."
"I'm leaving now, bye-bye."
Goodbye, Ye.
"Ayan, let's go too."
"You're calling me, beautiful." Hearing this, Ye Ziyi grabbed Wen Yan and said, "Stop being so flirtatious."
Jiang Yanmu, who had planned to laze around at home during the National Day holiday, was jolted awake by Fu Yanjin suddenly pulling her close. Still half-asleep, Jiang Yanmu asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Hmm... what's wrong, Yan?"
"Quick! You forgot? You promised on WeChat that you'd come to the concert with me."
After a moment of mental blankness, the "concert" momentarily cleared her head, and she became fully alert. "Ah! Today?"
"No, two days later."
"Oh," she said, lying back down. She'd barely lain down when she heard a shout from the other end of the phone, "Jiang! Xiao! Yan! I know you've gone to bed. Get up right now, let's go to the airport—!"
"Yes, sir, I'll get up right now!"
"Hmph, you better be." Putting down her phone, she calmed down and got up to tidy up in one go.
On the way to the airport, they encountered Ye Ziyi and his group. Wen Yan, who had originally wanted to sit with Jiang Yanmu, was kicked out of the car by Ye Ziyi. After being kicked out of the car, Wen Yan cursed loudly from a distance, "Ye Ziyi!" Ye Ziyi sent several messages to Wen Yan's phone in succession.
What do you mean by just leaving me aside?
[Ye Ziyi!]
I advise you to reply to me right now, or I'll beat you up at the airport!
[Ye Ziyi]
As messages kept pouring in, she immediately blocked them all, and the whole world went silent. Sitting beside her, Jiang Yanmu tried to start a conversation to ease the tension. "Is Ye also going to Guangzhou?"
She turned off her phone, looked up, and said, "Yes, you're all alone."
"No, with Ayan."
"Hmm. Where are you going to have fun?"
"Guangzhou, accompanying Ayan to the Lucky Star concert."
"What a coincidence! We can play together then."
"Great!" Jiang Yanmu eagerly sent the message to Fu Yanjin. [Yanjin, he's going to Guangzhou with us!]
Who? Ye Ziyi
【right! 】
Look at you, so spineless! Why don't you just say you're going to sleep together?
"Go away. He's just going over there to have fun, and he's just letting us join him."
[Oh, I guess you just brought me along for the ride.] We chatted for a while and then we arrived at the airport.
"What are you chatting about so happily?"
"Well, Ah Yan said some funny things."
Inside the terminal, Fu Yanjin waved and said, "Jiang Xiaoyan, over here~"
"You're taking so long to get here," he said meaningfully.
"Cough cough, no way~" She nudged Fu Yanjin to remind her not to talk anymore.
Always the last to hear "hi~"
Unable to bear it any longer, Shen Kuo said, "Next time, don't bring him along. I really can't stand him; I don't even know when he'll die."
"I agree," Ye Ziyi chimed in.
"Tch~" someone said, arms crossed. The loudspeaker then announced.

“Let’s go—” Fu Yanjin.
"Slow down, Ayan," Jiang Yanmu said.
Ye Ziyi simply followed behind Jiang Yanmu. "Wait for me, you guys—" she heard.
"Whose fault is it that I walk slowly?" - Shen Kuo
"You two, really..." Ye Ziyi.
