Chapter 26 Abnormal
The gauze curtains of the French windows were suddenly blown up by the wind, and the music scores fluttered.
The suspended notes shattered the sunlight.
She walked barefoot across the petals on the ground.
Her fingertips touched his Adam's apple, and it felt as cool as spring snow melting on a branch.
"I'm shaking."
The albizzia trees outside the glass window suddenly grew wildly, their branches piercing through the pure white wall.
When I woke up, there was a patch of damp moonlight on the bed sheet.
The hot breath was trembling with extreme intensity.
His mind shamelessly replayed the dream he had just had, and he covered his eyes with his arms like a blindfold.
My thoughts suddenly became clear.
Kan Zhao suddenly understood the sound of water he heard that day.*
Saturday, early morning.
The sun is shining.
Lin Qingxu opened the glass door and felt the warm morning sun.
Met Kan Zhao unexpectedly.
But his eyes seemed to be bruised, probably because he had been up all night.
"Good morning." It was rare to see Kan Zhao on a weekend morning, so Lin Qingxu waved and greeted him.
The only response she got was a quick glance, and then he immediately disappeared as if in response to stress.
The glass door next door was closed with a loud bang after being pulled hard.
Lin Qingxu: “?”

Monday, morning reading.
The ink of the black water-based pen spread on the manuscript paper, and Kan Zhao supported his head to draw an electronic force analysis diagram.
The glass windows filtered the lawnmower downstairs in the teaching building into the distant sound of water ripples, but it could not cover the slight rustling of my deskmate's school uniform collar brushing against the back of his neck.
Her eyelashes were slightly drooping, stained with sleepy tears, and her fair skin was faintly pink.
Lin Qingxu was unaware of the burning gazes from the people around her. She had written a magnetic field formula incorrectly and reached for the eraser on the table, but accidentally touched the burning fingertips next to her.
Kan Zhao suddenly realized that the collar of his shirt had become very tight, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down, causing a slight pain.
Those recent mornings, the sticky throbbing was like being wrapped in warm honey, and every inch of my nerve endings was steaming with that secret, longing feeling that was recalled again...
This was a perfectly normal accident.
But he heard a sharp roar as the stool next to him moved back quickly, and Kan Zhao stood up suddenly.
The sudden noise woke everyone up from their sleep and also interrupted the teacher at the podium as he was thinking about how to give his review.
Before Wang Hong, who was watching the class, could react, the culprit just said, "I'm going to wash my face," and hurriedly left the classroom.
The students looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lin Qingxu was also a little confused.
She met Ruan Yanyan's gaze, who was sitting diagonally across from her.
"What's going on?" Ruan Yanyan mouthed.
Lin Qingxu shook her head, she didn't know either.
When leaving, Kan Zhao looked as usual.
But the earlobe was unusually red.
——Kan Zhao is abnormal.
The signs began to emerge last week.
In order to establish correct concepts and cultivate a sense of responsibility, the school cancelled a physical education class and replaced it with a physiology class.
From demonstrating hormonal changes using a 3D human model to watching embryonic development, the students were not completely inexperienced, and their emotions did not fluctuate greatly. They all regretted missing the physical education class.
Kan Zhao lay on the table to catch up on his sleep.
There were dark circles under his eyes, and Lin Qingxu guessed it was because he had been playing games all night to improve his scores. When she slept last night, the lights were still on next door.
It was just an ordinary little episode, but the next day he refused her approach as if he was under stress.
If you accidentally touch it, you will want to jump three feet high.
To use an inappropriate word to describe it, it is like being
——It was indecent assault.
Lin Qingxu:...Is this right?

Monday morning exercises and flag-raisings were usually quite dull, but this time was an exception. Without even needing to be urged, everyone in class quickly assembled and headed downstairs to the playground.
After the flag-raising ceremony, the principal went to the podium and spoke a lot about honesty, friendliness, patriotism and professionalism before announcing the rankings of last week's cultural performances.
According to gossip, the piano solo of Class 2 (1) won first prize. The whole class had already celebrated before, and when the principal announced the rankings again and asked the class monitor to get the certificate, the place where Class 2 (1) gathered cheered again.
The principal, who was not too old, pushed and supported the mirror frame. It was rare to see an experimental class so lively.
Since they were already first, there was no need to worry about the other places. Even though the two classes were far apart, the students in Class 1 still used their eyes to signal the students in the gym class to accept their punishment quickly.
It’s not that Fang Hao and the others really wanted to admit defeat, but in the end they still reluctantly ran to the front to take the punishment and jumped up on the podium.
When the old principal first saw these people, he thought they were up to something, but then he saw that they were lawless and acting recklessly.
His face turned ashen.
Fang Hao and several others were caught by the old principal and given ideological education for half a day in front of all the teachers and students in the school.
It's a huge loss of face.

The first class in the afternoon.
The bell rang for the end of get out of class.
Wang Hong collected the test papers and left.
"Kan Zhao, someone is looking for you." Someone entered the classroom and shouted.
Lin Qingxu looked towards the door. A pretty girl was sticking her head out to look into the classroom. She was holding something in her hand. Lin Qingxu wanted to take a closer look, but was blocked by Kan Zhao's back.
Huh?
Ruan Yanyan widened her eyes, obviously more surprised than she was at her luck of getting a high score this time.
Regardless of what she was writing, Ruan Yanyan put down her pen and leaned towards Lin Qingxu with a curious look, "He just passed away like that?"
Unbelievable.
Kan Zhao's rise to fame was quite dramatic. When he was in the first year of high school and undergoing military training, someone took a picture of him and posted it on the school forum, causing his popularity to skyrocket.
Later, when he and Lin Qingxu were walking home from school, they met a girl who was being harassed by gangsters. He rescued the girl as a hero, and was then "reported" by the girl on Tieba. Since then, he became an instant hit.
At first, Kan Zhao received a lot of love letters and his social media accounts were flooded with updates. Sometimes on the way home from school, some bold girls would block him directly, which made Kan Zhao very annoyed.
Later, Wang Hong's obstruction method was used, and the situation eased a little. Only occasionally one or two people would come to the class to find him, and Kan Zhao would usually choose to turn a blind eye.
But this time seemed different from before. Lin Qingxu looked at the girl outside the door who was talking and laughing, and it seemed that he couldn't suppress the love in his eyes.
Due to the perspective problem, Kan Zhao was blocked by the wall and it was impossible to see the expression in his eyes at the moment.
Suddenly I remembered his abnormality these days.
Lin Qingxu suddenly understood——
It turns out that it was puppy love.
That's why he was so abnormally cold, because he wanted to keep his distance.
Lin Qingxu couldn't describe what he felt at the moment. It was sour. There was also possessiveness among friends, and this was not good.
But it seems a little bit easier?
There was no time to sort it out, and this cognition, which had not existed for even three seconds, was shattered.
I don’t know what Kan Zhao said, but the girl’s face suddenly darkened. She looked at him in disbelief, with anger of being fooled and a speechless "I knew it" feeling.
Ruan Yanyan seemed to be relieved.
Fortunately, the CP I am supporting is not bad.

After dinner.
Lin Qingxu walked towards the office as usual, holding the homework books he had just collected.
When she reached the second floor, she suddenly remembered that she had accidentally dropped a book.
The student at the back desk wrote his homework very quickly. He had something to do in the evening, so he quickly finished the task, placed the completed notebook on the table, and hurried away with his schoolbag.
When Lin Qingxu returned to the classroom, she saw Kan Zhao rummaging through something under her desk.
"Kan Zhao." She said.
The person whose name was called silently moved the thing in his hand again and again and quietly hid it in the sleeve of his clothes.
Only the slightly raised light blue veins on the back of his hand revealed every thrilling step Kan Zhao took when doing evil things.
She looked at him hesitantly and said, "Help me get Kou Cheng's homework book."
The class bell rang soon.
After returning to his seat, Lin Qingxu asked again.
Their things were shared, so there was nothing wrong with Kan Zhao touching her things.
It's just that the two of them have known each other for too long and are too familiar with each other. When Kan Zhao was caught, Lin Qingxu naturally didn't miss his suddenly tense jawline and unnatural rolling Adam's apple.
——Not too obvious guilty conscience.
Before she could finish her words, a cookie was stuffed into her mouth. The rich aroma of butter and milk blended together, melting in her mouth.
"Hmm?" Lin Qingxu recognized the smell almost instantly.
"Isn't this discontinued?"
High school classes are long and boring, and teenagers consume a lot of physical energy, so they are already hungry one class before mealtime.
Usually Lin Qingxu would put some snacks on the table. Sometimes she accidentally bought too much and even took up Kan Zhao's area.
The English teacher likes to delay classes, and English classes are always scheduled in the third period, when students’ physical energy is exhausted.
A few days ago——
The bell for the end of get out of class rang long ago, but the person on the stage was still talking non-stop.
Lin Qingxu sighed inwardly.
"What's wrong?" Kan Zhao wrote on the draft paper.
"Hungry." Lin Qingxu replied on the paper and drew another sad little man.
During class, and in the front row, Kan Zhao did not act too blatantly.
He took out a pack of biscuits according to the feel, opened it, and while the English teacher turned around to write on the blackboard, he quickly stuffed a piece into Lin Qingxu's mouth.
Lin Qingxu opened his eyes, completely unprepared for Kan Zhao's sudden action.
The cookies melt in your mouth, and the rich milky aroma spreads instantly on your tongue.
The taste of happiness.
Her eyes lit up.
Kan Zhao raised his eyebrows and stuffed another piece into her hand.
Lin Qingxu swallowed it and chewed it quietly for a few times.
You should eat during get out of class breaks.
It's rare to see Lin Qingxu look like this.
Kan Zhao lowered his head and fiddled with the bag of snacks, trying to find out the brand name so that he could buy more next time and put them on the table to store in his stomach.
However, the package was pure white, without even a single word on it. Pinned to it was a piece of pink letter paper folded into a heart shape. When I opened it, I saw the signature "Cheng Han" written on it.
Then I realized that this was probably a handmade product that he had accidentally put in there and mixed it with the snacks.
*
After waiting for many days, Cheng Han still didn't receive the rejected gift. Thinking of a certain possibility, her heart started beating fast.
After making some more cookies, she mustered up the courage to come to class to find Kan Zhao.
And the other party met with her without any hesitation.
It was like being hit by a huge pie, with a sense of uncertainty and nothingness.
Didn’t you say that you won’t see Kan Zhao at all?
He doesn't seem that hard to catch?
It turns out that rumors cannot be believed, otherwise she wouldn't have to worry about it for so long.
Cheng Han controlled his racing heart. It was his first time confessing his feelings, so he was inevitably a little nervous. Suddenly, he was face to face with Kan Zhao, and his words stumbled.
She quickly introduced herself, including her class, height, personality and hobbies.
The other party waited for her to finish before asking, "Does your family run a bakery?"
"Ah?" Cheng Han really didn't expect the other party to ask such a question that was like checking the household registration.
It has nothing to do with this situation.
Kan Zhao seemed to see her confusion and explained, "The cookies you make are delicious."
"Oh. No, I just like making desserts."
"Do you have a recipe for that cookie?"
Cheng Han: “Huh?”
Seeing that she didn't seem to understand, Kan Zhao gestured to the packaging bag in her hand: "This is it. Can you tell me how to make it? My girlfriend really likes it."
He added: "I can pay you."
Aren’t you single?
no.
Cheng Han found the most important problem at present.
Ask your crush for a snack recipe, then make it for your girlfriend yourself?!
Does that sound reasonable?
To be honest, Cheng Han was quite angry and was planning to scold Kan Zhao for his shameless behavior.
Then he said even more shamelessly: "Can you give me this bag of cookies now?"
Cheng Han: “???”
Not wanting to listen to him continue talking about “my girlfriend loves to eat”, Cheng Han felt that his dignity was greatly insulted, so he threw down what he was holding and left.
Well, actually it’s because class is about to start.
Cheng Han was really indignant.
Who is this?
After all, she has a lot of people chasing her, right?!
*
Lin Qingxu ate a few more cookies.
She asked curiously, "Didn't you say that this bakery went bankrupt?"
"This is the last bag the boss made."
Kan Zhao recalled Cheng Han's expression before he left, and felt that he probably couldn't get the secret recipe.
Maybe he could look for a similar recipe online, make some improvements, and get something roughly the same?
Lin Qingxu felt a little unsatisfied, "What a pity."
*
Cheng Han felt uncomfortable when he returned home from school.
Fiddling with the phone, entering the account numbers that were memorized.
Add to.
Unlike usual, there is no longer no news.
The other end agreed quickly.
As expected, I simply didn't want to add her before.
Cheng Han felt depressed again and quickly typed a string of words

HZ: Thank you.
You should be thankful.
Cheng Han threw away his phone, secretly annoyed at himself for having to contribute to other people's love.
Suddenly, the red envelope ringtone popped up on the phone.
Cheng Han opened it and saw that the cover was a very personal Q-version picture of a little man with the words "Wishing you happiness every day".
