Chapter 56
Second semester of senior high school, Class 4.
Although school has only been open for two months, everyone is studying hard because the midterm exams are approaching.
It was clearly break time, but few people were fighting in the corridor.
Shen Yuqing stood up to get some water. When he returned to his seat, he glanced at the class. Some students were reciting English composition frameworks, while others were reciting history lessons.
It was all about studying, until his eyes swept over Xia Ruirui in front of him.
Looking at someone who was laughing so hard that she was sandwiching a romance novel between a history book, he didn't urge her, but just looked at her quietly.
Fortunately, she was alert and probably thought the head teacher had come, so she hid the book as if nothing had happened.
He pretended to close his eyes and recite the text, muttering to himself, "...It is a symbol of the all-out war of resistance, representing..."
Probably because he didn't remember what happened afterwards, he opened his eyes and glanced at the history book for a few seconds, then pretended to be unintentional but actually glanced back to see what was happening.
Xia Ruirui's eyes were pretending to be confused about the knowledge in the previous second, but when she saw him in the next second, her expression became speechless.
Shen Yuqing was very sure that he had not seen it wrong just now. She rolled her eyes at him, and although it was very fast, he still caught it.
“…”
Before he even said a word, he had already guessed that someone was going to be the first to file a complaint.
Sure enough, the next second.
“Chen Yuqing, why are you scaring me.”
“…”
He looked at her and suddenly wanted to know what was going on in her messy head.
I glanced at the cover of the romance novel beside me - "The Targeted Flower of Gaoling".
Shen Yuqing raised his eyebrows. He didn't know if Xia Ruirui had been targeted by Gaolingzhihua.
But it was absolutely certain that she would be targeted by the head teacher.
He looked at her, signaling with his eyes for her to get up and let him go in first.
The seats in their class rotate every two weeks, but no matter how the seating chart rotates, he and Xia Ruirui are always damn deskmates.
This time they rotated to the position near the wall. Shen Yuqing's position was inside, so if he wanted to get in, Xia Ruirui had to get up first.
The distance between the table and the chairs is not particularly close. If two girls are good friends sitting at the same table, they usually don’t need to stand up and can just squeeze through.
But physical contact is inevitable, and Shen Yuqing hates physical contact with others the most.
Therefore, every time he went in, he would wait until Xia Ruirui, who was sitting outside, got up.
Now the two of them had a quarrel, and someone started to have a bad temper.
"stand up."
"don't want."
"stand up."
"No."
…
Although it was during the break, many people still looked over at them.
Just when the two were deadlocked, the monitor suddenly walked up to the podium and announced a piece of news.
"Classmates, our homeroom teacher said that in the next class, each class will go to the auditorium for a physical examination in order. Our class is the fourth one."
As soon as the news came out, the whole class was in an uproar.
"Finally, I can openly stop studying."
"That is to say, I can still look at the handsome guys in Class 18, hehe."
"Isn't the class flower in our class enough for you to look at?"
Another girl pulled her sleeve, signaling her to say less, and then angrily pointed in the direction of Shen Yuqing and Xia Ruirui, signaling her to look quickly.
In the corner of the classroom, Xia Ruirui and Shen Yuqing were still in a stalemate, neither of them willing to give in first.
Shen Qingli just went to Class 18 to get some water and entered the classroom on time. When she came back, she saw the two of them flirting again.
She wanted to watch the show, so she approached with ill intentions: "Are you two flirting again?"
Xia Ruirui burst out laughing when she heard that, pointed at her nose and complained, bringing up the old matter of Shen Yuqing insisting that she get up again.
After Shen Qingli finished listening, she leaned over to whisper in her ear. No one knew what they were talking about, but Xia Ruirui would steal glances at him from time to time.
Shen Yuqing's expression was indifferent. After all, Shen Qingli and Xia Ruirui were in the same boat, so he would definitely not say anything nice.
So he just stood there with his hands in his pockets and watched.
But what really puzzled him was... not long after Shen Qingli finished speaking, Xia Ruirui stood up with a smile on her face.
She still has a shy girlish look on her face.
"..." He felt something was wrong and wanted to know what nonsense these two great immortals were talking about.
But the class bell rang, so he couldn't ask any more questions and could only sit down.
Although the physical examination is in the next class, classes come one by one and it is not their turn yet.
Therefore, they can only study on their own first.
Shen Yuqing sat in his seat, feeling uneasy. It was not because he couldn't understand the English competition questions in front of him, but because of the look of a certain monster beside him.
There was a sense of disbelief in her shyness.
In fact, he also found it incredible! He didn't understand why Xia Ruirui was so shy?
He felt that her answers were even more difficult to understand than the competition questions, and were simply like incomprehensible scriptures.
Shen Yuqing closed his eyes and endured it. Not long after, he heard the voice of the League Secretary asking everyone to gather.
There was a rustling sound of people getting up in the class, so they stood up as well and followed the group to the auditorium.
In the auditorium, I don’t know which class’s league secretary passed the wrong message, and the class in front had not completed the physical examination at all.
The three classes were crowded together and the whole auditorium was in chaos.
It was only when the dean of studies came to maintain order that the team was barely formed.
The line was very long, with almost a hundred people, and the ones at the back even lined up outside the auditorium.
The windows of the auditorium are never opened all year round, and when there are too many people, the air becomes much more turbid.
Shen Yuqing was originally extremely sensitive to smells, and being forced to smell this smell, the irritability in his heart could no longer be suppressed.
He stood in the queue with a frown, but smelled the scent of shampoo.
He didn't even need to open his eyes to know that it was the smell of Xia Ruirui.
He sat next to her every day and could smell this scent every day.
The scent on her body seemed a little strong in the closed classroom, but just right in the huge auditorium.
It even made him feel a little relaxed and his previously frowned brows relaxed.
He opened his eyes and looked at someone in front of him, his expression softening a little.
The next second, she became eager to try it and insisted on trying the sit-up forward bend stretch.
She bent down and stood up, and her ponytail swung onto Shen Yuqing's face behind her.
“…”
But the owner still knows nothing about it and is ready to try again.
Shen Yuqing couldn't stand it any longer: "Xia Ruirui, get up."
When Xia Ruirui heard him calling her, she quickly stood up and turned to look at him.
Another shy expression.
“…”
Shen Yuqing's veins were about to burst, and he asked patiently: "What did Shen Qingli just say to you?"
Xia Ruirui blinked: "Do you really want to know?"
He nodded seriously, signaling her to speak quickly, but she waved at him, signaling him to come closer.
Shen Yuqing really wanted to know, so he put his ear close to her as she said.
Xia Ruirui disliked that he was too far away, so she put her arms around his neck and pulled him down, but the idiot didn't stand firmly and his lips touched his earlobe.
“…”
“…”
Although the touch was short, Shen Yuqing's ears still turned red.
But he didn't realize that his ears were red, and if Xia Ruirui didn't mention it, he would pretend not to know that it was her lips that touched him.
After all, it was just an accident.
Who knew someone's reaction would be something he never expected...
Xia Ruirui stared at him blankly, her face full of disbelief: "What she said is actually true."
"What's real?" Shen Yuqing thought she would play dumb and pretend nothing happened, but he didn't expect this reaction.
"You really are shy...your ears are red."
"..." Shen Yuqing thought he had misheard and looked surprised, "What did you just say?"
Xia Ruirui suddenly stopped talking, but someone angrily grabbed her shoulder and asked, "What the hell did Shen Qingli just say to you?"
She looked at his increasingly red ears and said blankly, "She said that you always want me to stand up before going in because you're shy."
"Because you touch my body, you're shy..."
"..." Upon hearing this, Shen Yuqing's expression was not only indescribable, but even ugly.
He released his hand from her shoulder, turned his head away and stopped talking.
Who knew Xia Ruirui would come over and insist: "Really?"
He looked at her and felt that her eyes at this moment were as clear as the piglets raised by his grandmother.
Shen Yuqing felt his eyes go dark, pretending not to hear and ignoring her, but in his heart he was roaring: "Bullshit! !!"
The team was getting closer and closer, and soon it was their turn.
It was Xia Ruirui's turn to do the sit-up forward bend, 11.5cm. As soon as she stood up, her hair behind her hit his chest again.
For a moment, the unique scent of her body rushed into his nostrils, like a robber blocking the road, suddenly overbearing...
*
Shen Yuqing was still dreaming when he suddenly woke up.
As soon as he woke up, he saw an enlarged face. It was Xia Ruirui, and she still had the scent of her own shower gel on her body.
Before he fell in love with Xia Ruirui, he always felt that her smell was so fragrant that he wanted to cover her with a plastic bag.
But after falling in love with her, even in the five years when they were like strangers, he had been searching for that taste.
He always changed his shower gel and shampoo intentionally or unintentionally, and he had never dug deep into the motivation behind this behavior.
But now that I smell this scent, I understand what I have been obsessed with.
He wanted to keep this smell, as if this could slow down the speed at which Xia Ruirui disappeared from his memory.
Shen Yuqing looked into Xia Ruirui's eyes and could no longer tell whether this was a dream or reality.
He took a deep breath, wanting to engrave her scent into his lungs.
The smell of her shower gel seemed to have not changed at all, it was still the same smell he smelled in his first year of high school.
But for some reason, he now feels at peace when he smells it, and has a sense of peace of mind that he has found his future home.
He looked at the enlarged face of Xia Ruirui in front of him, thinking he was dreaming, and reached out to touch her cheek.
The other party did not react and continued to look at him without blinking.
Shen Yuqing looked at her eyes as she looked into his, and couldn't help but hug her gently, and restrainedly kissed her forehead.
Seeing that she didn't resist, he kissed her earlobe almost devoutly.
While kissing her forehead, Shen Yuqing secretly made a wish to the gods in his heart.
He wants to grow old with Xia Ruirui.
He thought it was a dream until Xia Ruirui broke free from him and ran away with a red face.
Shen Yuqing seemed to realize something and touched his lips reflexively...
