After the dinner that day, our head teacher stood at the door and saw us out one by one.
He gave each student some earnest instructions.
I went to the bathroom before I left and came out quite late. Most of my classmates had already left. No, not most.
It was just me and the classmate I had a scandal with. The head teacher was talking to him at the door. I walked over with my head held high, ready to say a few words to the head teacher and then leave.
But the head teacher stopped me and said, "Xiao Xiu, wait a moment. I want to ask you something."
He called me directly, so I had no choice but to listen. I smiled and turned around, "Teacher, please go ahead."
"The teacher has heard about what happened between you and Xiao Liu. Now that you have graduated, you are both grown up. If you have anything to say, just talk to the teacher in front of you. If you really like each other, the teacher can help you to be a matchmaker."
Before, I had only heard that many students got married when they were in college, but I didn't expect that the high school class teacher also had the hobby of matchmaking.
But the Xiao Liu he mentioned and I were only in a relationship with rumors.
I quickly clarified, "Teacher, no, I have been focusing on my studies these past few years. You know how hard I work. How could I date someone while studying?"
"Hey, this is in front of the teacher. If you're shy, then the teacher should hide aside. You two can talk first. If he bullies you, just call the teacher."
The head teacher must be addicted to matchmaking and he may have done this many times in the past.
I looked at classmate Liu standing beside him, with anticipation on his face.
In fact, Liu is not bad looking. Although there is a hideous scar on his neck caused by fire, it does not affect his face at least.
But what can I say? Even if there were no signs of burns on his body, even if he really had that kind of thought about me, it would be almost impossible for me to be attracted to him.
After all, the time before was for study, how could I use the time for study to date? I just want to improve myself.
It just so happens that the class teacher is watching this time. He shouldn't be so careless as to be a matchmaker, right? If there is anything wrong, I can call him immediately.
I first explained to the head teacher, "Teacher, I really only have a simple friendship with Liu. It just so happens that I have something to say to him. Teacher, could you please sit next to me for a while?"
Upon hearing this, the head teacher looked at me, then looked at him, smiled and said okay, let me call him if there is anything.
I stared at Liu and asked him, "You were the one who spread those rumors, right? You have such good grades, why would you do something that would ruin your future?"
"What do you mean by self-destruction?" He looked calm, but I felt that he was a little out of control. "Pei Xiaoxiu, you were the first one to express your affection to me. At the beginning of high school, you spoke up for me when others bullied me. Aren't you interested in me? I didn't tell others that we were a couple. I just told them that I liked you. No, I didn't say it actively. I just said your name when they asked me who I liked."
He also thought he was quite reasonable.
I was so angry that I laughed. "Well, Mr. Liu, don't you know that you are causing me trouble? I am very grateful that you always copy the wrong questions to me. Since I returned the wrong questions to you, I can study well with my own efforts. But you really bothered me. I couldn't study well during that time."
"So what he said is true? You two have really been dating? That's why you don't consider me at all?"
When he said this, his hands were clenched into fists. Was he going to punch me?
I glanced in the direction of my head teacher. He was lighting a cigarette in the corner outside, puffing out smoke and I couldn't see his expression clearly.
I felt a little more at ease and continued, "I don't know who you are talking about, but I am definitely not dating anyone. I never was, and I am not dating anyone now. As for what happens in the future, you can't control it."
"Why did you lie to me?"
He became excited, his voice got louder, and his heavy breathing made me quickly run away from him and towards the direction of the head teacher.
"Teacher, teacher, Liu is not in good condition. Please come and help take care of him."
When the head teacher heard my shout, he dropped his cigarette, put it out and ran over here without saying a word.
He protected me behind him and said to Liu: "What are you doing? Calm down. Did you study for so many years to make you deal with problems so impulsively? If you hurt Pei Xiaoxiu today, have you ever thought about what will happen to you in the future?"
The head teacher's tone was different from usual or at the party just now. There was a hint of severity in his tone when he spoke to Liu, which didn't seem like the kind of severity a teacher should have.
I feel like their relationship is a little different.
At this time, my brother came to pick me up.
"Xiao Xiu, what's going on? Isn't the party over yet?"
I quickly told my head teacher that my brother was coming, and then ran towards my brother without looking back.
I was really a little scared. I probably would never be alone with any boy again.
Regarding the issue of premature love, we didn't resolve it on the day of the dinner. When I went back to school to fill out my application, I knew I couldn't avoid it but I went anyway.
On this day, Liu had regained his composure. He walked over to my seat and said to me, "Pei Xiaoxiu, I applied to the same university as you. Pei Hehui, who came to see me earlier, said that you were his boyfriend, and he said that he was in Suicheng. It just so happens that you are also applying to Suicheng University. I want to compete with him fairly."
"Need not!"
When the three words "Pei Hehui" came out of his mouth, my heart was thumping. Could it be that Pei Hehui had come back? Did he go to see Liu?
I said to Liu very seriously: "Liu, with your grades, I don't recommend you to apply to Suicheng University. You can apply to a better school. If you are willing to ruin your future like this, then I will definitely not like you."
He looked a little lost, and under the guidance of his class teacher, he applied to another top university, a school that I could never get into no matter how hard I tried.
When I got home, I was still upset. I thought about how after I complained to Pei Hehui, he didn't write to me for a long time. He only wrote me one letter before the college entrance examination to encourage me to do well in the exam.
This time I didn't even have time to write the letter and just called the phone number he had given me before.
When the call was picked up, a familiar voice was heard.
"Hello."
