When did you start noticing him?
Why did he sleep while the teacher was giving a lecture?
Little Bai Shihan was extremely confused at this moment. The person in front of her was simply beyond her understanding.
He slept in class, played after class, and was often invited to the homeroom teacher's office to chat.
This must be the bad boy in the legend...
According to my parents, we should stay away from such people.
But, is he not afraid of anything?
Bai Shihan didn't quite understand, but she felt inexplicably curious about him.
It’s not that she wanted to notice him, but because he was her deskmate, it was difficult for her to ignore him.
"Is there anything to eat?"
“Yes…yes.”
She didn't know why. She had clearly made up her mind not to talk to him anymore and not to have any contact with him, but she still took out the bread from the drawer and handed it to him.
Lin Xinyu took it and said, "Thank you."
His voice is very soft and very comfortable to listen to.
Bai Shihan couldn't help but looked up at him. Although he didn't like studying, he did look good.
The only drawback is that every time I come back from outside, I have a strange smell on my body.
dislike……
Even so, she didn't dare tell Lin Xinyu directly.
Normally she seldom spoke, and now she didn't know what to do, so she lowered her head and continued to eat her bread.
I wish I could be as bold as him.
When this thought came to her mind, Bai Shihan was shocked by herself and quickly shook her head to drive it out of her mind.
If he really acted like that, he would definitely be beaten to death.
Why is he okay?
Lin Xinyu left deep doubts in her heart.
The atmosphere between the two of them suddenly became silent.
Lin Xinyu finished his meal quietly, put it in his pocket, and turned to walk towards the classroom door.
Going to get those weird flavors again.
Seeing the other party walking towards the toilet, Bai Shihan roughly guessed what the other party was going to do and immediately frowned.
But before she could come to her senses, she felt someone approaching the corner where she was.
The annoying guy is here again...
She didn't know why, but class monitor Li Hua always came to her from time to time, either to check answers or to ask questions.
Bai Shihan didn't know how to refuse, and didn't want to communicate, so he was the only one talking the whole time. She sat still in her seat. She had no choice but to hand him the homework he needed.
I ignored the rest.
Li Hua seemed to have noticed this as well, but she had no intention of giving up and persisted every day, as if she thought that doing this in the long run would make her change her mind?
"Shihan, why do you want to sit in the corner? Sit in the front with me so that we can check answers and make progress together." Li Hua said with a smile.
Bai Shihan glanced at the smile on his face. She didn't hate it, but she didn't like it that much either.
She did not answer the other person, but lowered her head and continued to write the test paper.
"I will surpass you in total score." Li Hua's expression remained gentle, as if he didn't care what the other party said.
Bai Shihan gripped the pen a little tighter, but ultimately didn't answer.
She doesn't like socializing with others. To be more precise, she is used to being alone, but at the same time she won't refuse. In fact, deep down she really wants the other party not to come to her for answers in the future, she doesn't like it very much.
"Your deskmate doesn't study all day and always falls asleep during class. If you sit with him, you will definitely be corrupted one day."
Bai Shihan's pen tip stopped sliding.
Although she also disliked Lin Xinyu's attitude towards studying, relatively speaking, she hated the behavior of talking bad about others behind their backs, especially the tone and eyes of this person, which made her very unhappy.
But I didn’t know how to reply, so I could only remain silent.
Seeing that the other party didn't say anything, Li Hua didn't continue to pester him and turned around to leave.
Not long after, Lin Xinyu came back from outside.
It might be a psychological effect. Bai Shihan had just heard Li Hua say bad things about him, and now she felt that she didn't dare to look at the other person and her eyes were avoiding him.
Lin Xinyu didn't care at all. He sat back in his seat, turned his head, smiled slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "First, lend me your homework to copy."
Looking at the harmless expression in front of her, Bai Shihan really wanted to refuse him. If possible, she wanted to explain to him the importance of studying. But before the words came to her lips, he took the homework away and also took a candy from her desk.
"Well, I brought you some milk. I can't just eat your food, right?" Lin Xinyu blinked, with a hint of playfulness in his tone.
Although she didn't like him either, everything he did was beyond the little girl's understanding. She didn't know how to refute him, so she could only nod and say "hmm".
She was not good at communicating with people, let alone boys. At most, she only had one person, so she never thought about who to be friends with.
Today's action is already an exception.
"Why are you being so obedient? It seems like you don't like comparing answers with the monitor. Next time, if you don't like it, just say it directly. It's okay. Even if you don't want to copy my homework, you can just say it directly. It's not good to be too obedient."
Lin Xinyu said this, but he actually copied the homework very quickly, for fear that the other party would hear him and take the homework away immediately, which would be counterproductive.
However, he was not wrong, Bai Shihan did listen to him.
But she still didn't have the courage.
Refuse? What if I say it directly and make others angry?
Her personality is not suitable for conflicts with others, and she also feels that there is no need for her to cause trouble for such things. She simply does not want to deal with them.
While doing homework, because Lin Xinyu's body was turned sideways, Bai Shihan could clearly smell the unpleasant odor on him, which made her feel very uncomfortable. She couldn't control her expression and frowned, but quickly regained her composure.
"Don't you like talking to people?" The other party seemed to have noticed her rejection and asked directly.
Bai Shihan was stunned and did not answer.
"You're alone every day. Are you unwilling to talk to people?"
Hearing this, Bai Shihan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded.
"She's such a cute girl, why doesn't she want to talk to others?" Lin Xinyu sighed.
Bai Shihan lowered her head and continued to do her homework. She actually wanted to answer his questions, but she didn't know how to answer, so she had to give up.
"Is there anything else to eat?"
"Yes, there are..."
"Sure enough, he only talks when he asks you for food." Lin Xinyu took the snacks she handed over from the drawer, took a bite, and said vaguely.
Bai Shihan said nothing.
Even so, she felt particularly satisfied at this moment.
Talking to others again...
She also wanted to change, or rather, she envied Lin Xinyu very much. No matter who he was with, he always acted very familiar and seemed fearless.
But she couldn't do it because she was afraid.
Afraid of loneliness and fear of strangers.
Fear of alienation and indifference from others.
She would rather stay alone in school than have anything to do with anyone else.
This is also the reason why Bai Shihan doesn’t make friends. The most important reason is that she is afraid of losing.
Since she was a child, she has been accustomed to living alone, and has gradually developed a timid and cowardly character.
And now Lin Xinyu's sudden appearance really caught her off guard.
Judging from their previous interactions, most of her classmates would leave after just a few words. Later, when they saw that she was not very enthusiastic, they would also leave on their own initiative, leaving her alone sitting there in a daze.
But during this time, she felt a little surprised.
Lin Xinyu actually took the initiative to talk to her, and most of the conversations were about trivial matters, and the most common one was asking Bai Shihan for snacks.
She had some snacks with her because she was in a hurry, so she thought of bringing some bread or something like that. But she didn't expect that this bad guy would snatch one of her breads.
But the other party was not an unreasonable person. He came to school hungry just like her. After the break, Bai Shihan found a lot of snacks in the drawer that Lin Xinyu gave her.
"I won't eat your food for nothing."
From that day on, Bai Shihan always put some food in the drawer.
Either candy or bread.
Sometimes she would prepare milk, but she found that Lin Xinyu seldom drank milk. Most of the time he drank soda and juice.
Those were not things she drank often, so she didn't go to the supermarket to buy them, otherwise he would definitely find out that she deliberately prepared these things for him.
After a few interactions, Lin Xinyu gradually got used to the small snacks in her drawer. Whenever he was hungry or his mouth felt lonely, he would ask for them.
After a while, he even greeted her directly, and then he took the initiative to reach out without Bai Shihan having to take it.
Although the two of them didn't talk much, they seemed to have formed some kind of tacit understanding. They knew each other's true thoughts and did not interfere with each other.
Bai Shihan also fell in love with this plain life, but the smell of the other person that appeared every day was really unpleasant.
"Can you, can you, not go to the toilet..."
This was the longest sentence Lin Xinyu had ever heard her say.
The voice is not as aloof as rumored, on the contrary it is gentle. Overall it sounds soft and sticky, and seems like it's easy to bully?
"Not going to the bathroom? So you want me to stay away for the whole day?"
"No, it's not..."
"What is that? Why do I feel like you're a little afraid of me?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Shihan's whole body visibly stiffened.
Did he see through me? As expected, I shouldn't have spoken...
"You really want to make friends, right?"
"No, it isn't."
How could Bai Shihan, whose inner thoughts were guessed, simply admit her inner thoughts? Even though she was nervous and stuttered a little, she still did not forget to refuse.
"This candy is delicious, want to try it?" Seeing that the other party was unmoved, Lin Xinyu continued, "It's okay, it's time to end the get out of class now, and there are still ten minutes before class starts. You can finish it before class starts."
Perhaps feeling a little guilty, this time Bai Shihan reached out to take the candy he placed on the table and put it in her mouth.
"I wasn't kidding you, isn't it delicious?"
"Um……"
"You opened your eyes wide just now, didn't you? Did you feel a little unbelievable?"
"A little bit..."
Through this conversation, Lin Xinyu discovered that her deskmate was not what other classmates described her to be. Instead, she was very easy to get along with. He even had the illusion that he wanted to bully her.
"From now on, we'll be friends."
"Friends? No, no way!"
Bai Shihan quickly waved her hands. How could she have friends? Besides, she had never made friends before. She didn't know how to maintain relationships or what friends should do. That was why she didn't want to make friends.
Again, it’s not that I don’t want to, but that I’m afraid.
But after spending some time together, Bai Shihan really envied Lin Xinyu and yearned for what he did.
Especially the kind of free and resoluteness that comes from knowing that it will make others unhappy, but still directly refusing.
Bai Shihan envied and admired this kind of character.
She has always been a good student, so she really wants to be friends with Lin Xinyu. It would be great if she could help him change his bad habits.
It’s just…she has never taken the initiative to make friends since she was a child.
So when facing Lin Xinyu, I always feel very passive, even restrained, and dare not speak much, let alone take the initiative.
"If you eat my candy, you are my friend."
"???"
Why is it still like this!
Bai Shihan increasingly felt that she didn't know enough. Did she have to be his friend after eating?
and……
"No, it can't be like this."
Bai Shihan found it incredible.
Normally she would never refuse what others said, but this time, for some reason, even she couldn't understand why she should refuse Lin Xinyu's request.
"Okay, then we won't be friends anymore."
For some reason, Bai Shihan, who should have been grateful to hear these words, felt a little lost for no reason.
Perhaps it was because she wanted to know more about Lin Xinyu.
Seeing her like this, Lin Xinyu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Look, you're going to refuse now, aren't you? I thought you would never refuse."
"No, it's not." Bai Shihan retorted hurriedly, her face flushed.
Lin Xinyu raised his eyebrows: "Then will you be my friend?"
Bai Shihan opened her mouth to speak, but didn't know how to say it.
"So, in the future, if something you don't like happens, just refuse it directly."
After saying that, Lin Xinyu sat down.
Then he took out his textbook and got ready for class under Bai Shihan's bewildered gaze.
In fact, when Lin Xinyu came back, he saw Li Hua coming to find Bai Shihan. If she was willing, he would definitely not say much, but she obviously didn't want to, so why didn't she just refuse?
He didn't understand this before, but after chatting with her today, he suddenly realized it.
This classmate who seems difficult to communicate with is actually very easy to be bullied by others. He is kind-hearted, but he also has his weaknesses.
That is, it is too easy to be restrained by others.
Just like before, if he didn't give Bai Shihan a way out, she would probably suffocate to death. Such a simple girl, how could she know any reason to refuse.
Also at the same moment.
Bai Shihan carefully wrote down three words in her notebook: Be friends.
