"Strange? Why am I strange?"
Liu Yi still refused to admit it.
"Then you're asking me if I have a boyfriend? That's not your style. Tell me, what's going on!"
"It's really nothing, Du Chen, I'm just curious!"
"You're still being stubborn, aren't you? Looks like I have to have a good chat with my uncle and aunt today! Which girl do you like, Liu Yi? Which girl is it? Xiaofang? Xiaohua? Or Xiaomei?"
"Slander, Du Chen, you are purely slandering me!"
Liu Yi looked at Du Chen with a headache. He was really vindictive.
"Then tell me why you're acting so strangely today?"
Du Chen turned the topic back. He was quite curious about what Liu Yi was trying to do, and he really suspected that Liu Yi was in a premature love relationship.
"Okay, I'll tell you!"
Liu Yi gave up resisting. He knew that if Du Chen wanted to know the reason, he would definitely find out the truth and he couldn't hide it.
"I ran into Wang Luqi a few days ago."
"Why, does your heart flutter when you see her? Are you still in love with her?"
This was Du Chen’s first reaction.
"Bullshit, my lingering feelings are still for you!"
Du Chen didn't expect that the melon would fall on his head, and he pointed at himself in surprise.
"No, Liu Yi, please explain clearly, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean? I still have feelings for you!"
Since he had already talked about it, Liu Yi didn't hide anything and teased Du Chen with a smile.
"What? What lingering feelings? I've never been in a relationship with her, so how can I talk about lingering feelings?"
Du Chen was a little excited and a little embarrassed. He was excited because he was not stupid. He naturally guessed that Wang Luqi might be interested in him. It seemed that his charm was not bad. However, his parents and Du Bin and Ding Miaomiao said every day that he looked like a labor camp inmate and a little gangster after shaving his head. It seemed that his hairstyle could not hide his good looks.
The slightly embarrassing thing was that he had been planning to eat some of Liu Yi's melons, but he didn't expect that this big melon would fall on his head. And to be honest, he and Wang Luqi didn't have much in common. To be precise, he didn't have much in common with most of the classmates in the class. So when encountering this kind of thing, Du Chen was still a little confused.
"Who would know? I don't know if you have any relationship with Wang Luqi."
"How could you not know? You follow me closely every day. By the way, what did Wang Luqi say to you? Why did she mention me?"
……………………
The day after the final exam, Liu Yi packed his luggage and prepared to go home. Carrying his schoolbag and a small suitcase, Liu Yi took the bus to the small commodity market, because the terminus of the minibus from the living area to the city was at the small commodity market.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, a minibus stopped at the station. Then, a crowd squeezed out of the bus. Among them were a few adults Liu Yi knew, and everyone greeted each other.
After the crowd had cleared, Liu Yi got on the bus and came to the second to last row by the window. After putting his schoolbag on his legs, Liu Yi took out a novel from the bag and started reading.
Minibuses are privately owned, so they sit there waiting to be filled. Unlike buses, which leave at the appointed time, regardless of passengers, Liu Yi quietly read a novel, waiting for passengers to arrive.
After more than twenty minutes, people got on the bus one after another. Liu Yi never looked up to observe his surroundings, immersed in the world of novels.
"Liu Yi?"
Liu Yi suddenly heard someone calling him, so he looked up curiously and found a girl standing in front of him, whom he knew.
"Wang Luqi?"
"Yeah, it's really you, I look just like you! Long time no see!"
Wang Luqi greeted Liu Yi gracefully, and then sat next to Liu Yi naturally, after all, they were classmates.
"Yeah, you just had your day off too!"
"Well, I just had a holiday, so you should do the same!"
"Well, this isn't a unified exam, so our vacation time is the same. By the way, how did you do on the exam?"
As for students, they could only talk about studying and exams. In fact, Liu Yi and Wang Luqi were not familiar with each other. They and Du Chen were classmates in elementary school. Later, Du Chen transferred to a school in the city. Liu Yi and Wang Luqi had been in the children's school in the residential area. However, after entering junior high school, Liu Yi and Wang Luqi were not in the same class.
Moreover, Liu Yi's grades were average when he was in elementary school, and Wang Luqi was the study committee member from elementary school to junior high school, and was also one of the children of other people's families, so Liu Yi and Wang Luqi were not very familiar with each other. After the high school entrance examination, Liu Yi was admitted to No. 12 Middle School, and Wang Luqi was admitted to No. 1 Middle School in the city as expected, and the two had even less contact.
Therefore, Liu Yi was a little bit confused about Wang Luqi's proactive greeting.
"The test was pretty good. I guess you performed normally! How about you?"
Wang Luqi asked Liu Yi back.
"It's okay. Anyway, those who can't do it still can't do it."
Liu Yi made a small joke.
"Wang Luqi, do you live on campus too?"
Liu Yi looked at Wang Luqi, who also had a suitcase and a backpack, and guessed that she also lived on campus.
"Yeah, yeah, you too, right?"
Just like that, after the two chatted dryly for a few sentences, Liu Yi didn't know what to say, and the same was true for Wang Luqi. There was an awkward atmosphere between the two. After all, they were not familiar with each other and there was nothing much to say.
"Um, Liu Yi, I want to ask you something!"
After a long silence, Wang Luqi seemed to have made up her mind and spoke to Liu Yi with a red face.
"What's the matter?"
Liu Yi answered Wang Luqi readily.
"Liu Yi, that... that..."
Wang Luqi kept talking for a long time but didn't get a single word. Liu Yi didn't push her, but just waited quietly.
"Liu Yi, are you still in touch with Du Chen?"
Wang Luqi blushed and lowered her head. If Liu Yi hadn't been paying attention, he wouldn't have been able to hear what Wang Luqi said.
"Yes, I have been in contact with him."
Looking at Wang Luqi's expression, Liu Yi instantly had a guess.
"Um, Liu Yi, where did Du Chen go to high school? I haven't seen him even at the No. 1 Middle School in the city. Based on his grades, he should be there, but I haven't seen him, so I want to ask where Du Chen is now?"
At first, Wang Luqi was a little embarrassed to speak up, but she felt much better after speaking out, and she also felt relieved when faced with subsequent problems.
Liu Yi looked at Wang Luqi with a strange expression, thinking about how to answer this question. After all, he seemed to be the only one who knew that Du Chen skipped a grade to go to college, and the other classmates seemed to be unaware of it. However, seeing Wang Luqi's expectant look, Liu Yi decided to tell the truth for the happiness of his good brother Du Chen.
"Wang Luqi, Du Chen is no longer in high school!"
