Chapter 6 Playground, Me, Home, Road, Road
I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
Ever since the "confidentiality" agreement was made, Yan Ning felt that the frequency of her seeing Lu Chen on campus had increased dramatically.
Monday afternoon, the weather was a little cooler.
During the second break, Yan Ning and Xin Jing went to the water room with cups to get water.
Recently, the number of people chatting and relaxing in the corridor has increased significantly.
The only exception was Class 1. Director Wang's ban and regular inspections were still effective, so there were basically no people in the corridor outside Class 1.
Just walked to the front door of Class 2.
Xin Jing nudged Yan Ning with her arm, lowered her voice, and winked at Yan Ning, "Look, that's Fang Ze'an, the athlete who's chasing after the school beauty Wen."
Yan Ning looked up and saw the tanned boy with a shaved head. He was holding a basketball in one hand and waving at the back door of Class 1 with the other, shouting:
"Brother Lu, let's go play ball!"
Features are always easy to remember.
The two keywords, campus beauty and sports student, immediately reminded Yan Ning of...
a=school belle=Wen Shujin.
c=sports student=Fang Zean.
The third corner of a love square.
So, he knew Lu Chen?
And, it seems, the relationship is pretty good?
As they walked forward, Xin Jing leaned closer and spoke in a lower voice:
"He's actually buddies with Lu Shen, and he's also from No. 12 Middle School. I also heard that 'Brother Lu is the coolest' is also his account!"
Yan Ning revised his understanding again.
It seems that they do have a good relationship.
As they were talking, the two of them had already walked out the front door and hadn't even turned the corner.
Fang Zean was holding a basketball and standing near the guardrail outside the corridor.
At this moment, he was attracted by something and suddenly turned his head to look at Yan Ning and the others.
Xin Jing was so engrossed in sharing that she didn't notice.
Yan Ning didn't think much about it. When he raised his eyes, he met Fang Ze'an's gaze.
Fang Ze'an paused, then grinned, revealing his shiny white teeth.
Almost at the same time, Xin Jing finished her words and turned her head, only to find that her eyes had met those of the two people beside her. Feeling guilty, Xin Jing immediately wanted to pull Yan Ning away and run away.
Unfortunately, it's too late.
Yan Ning noticed the slight awkwardness at the moment and asked politely, "Hello."
Fang Ze'an's smile suddenly became even brighter, "Hello!"
Then, he looked at Xin Jing next to him and said, "Hello to you too!"
Xin Jing was unusually slow to react. Her fleeing gaze paused for a second before she slowly glanced at Fang Ze'an. Then, she was once again stunned by the other's heartless smile and stammered, "Hello!"
Fang Ze'an seemed to want to say something.
But as soon as Xin Jing came to her senses, she pulled Yan Ning without saying a word and ran away in the opposite direction.
After running several meters, Xin Jing slowed down her pace and asked worriedly:
"That Fang Ze'an, didn't you hear me talking about him?"
Yan Ning thought carefully about what Xin Jing had said just now, almost whispering in her ear, in a very low voice, so she shook her head.
"I don't think so."
“It’s okay, it’s okay!”
Xin Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief, her tone softened, and she continued to complain:
"I don't want to mess with him! This guy seems to be a bit mentally unstable and has terrible luck—"
When school started a few days ago, he actually showed up with a big afro. At the school gate, he bumped into Hawkeye King. Before he even got through the door, Hawkeye King took him to the barber shop next door and had his hair cut.
Afros are so hard to pull off, how can he look good with that look?"
Yan Ning was a little surprised.
She didn't expect that at the intersection that day, Lin Xinci saw the boy with the afro who was not the usual one and had some complaints about him - that is, Fang Zean who now has a buzz cut.
"I've seen him with that hairstyle."
Yan Ning recalled the scene at that time and found a suitable adjective, "Looked quite sunny and cheerful."
"Really?"
Xin Jing was skeptical. "However, if you look closely at Fang Ze'an's facial features, he seems quite handsome..."
The two were almost at the hot water room.
Xin Jing seemed to want to verify this point of view. As she spoke, she turned her head. Yan Ning also subconsciously followed her friend and turned to look.
And the next moment.
Before Yan Ning looked over.
Xin Jing's tone suddenly changed, and she said excitedly:
"Ahhh! I take that back! If we talk about handsome, it has to be the God of Roads!"
at the same time.
Passing through the overlapping figures in the corridor, Yan Ning's sight finally fixed on the outstanding figure not far away.
Then I saw——
Lu Chen was half leaning against the fence, holding a basketball in one hand, his posture casual and relaxed.
He turned his face to the side, revealing a pair of ink-black eyes with a bit of distraction under his black hair. His gaze was loosely resting on the basketball that was spinning like a show of skill on his fingertips. He was also talking to Fang Ze'an, who was standing beside him with his back to Yan Ning.
The afternoon sun was pouring down, and the boy holding the ball in one hand had a faint golden glow all over his body.
I have to say.
Just by standing there, he attracted the attention of so many people around him.
But time waits for no one, and if I delay any longer, I will have to go to class.
Yan Ning took a look and was about to turn around to remind Xin Jing to get some water.
But I don’t know if it’s an illusion.
The moment she turned around and was about to look away.
Yan Ning saw that Lu Chen suddenly withdrew his fingertips and grabbed the basketball with one hand. At the same time, he turned his head and glanced in their direction without bias.
-
Tuesday.
Morning exercises.
After finishing the exercises and when they were about to go back to class, Yan Ning was waiting in the front row. After Xin Jing came over, the two of them chatted as they walked towards the teaching building.
Xin Jing was talking about the boy band she was a fan of. They had just released a new MV, which was extremely handsome. She would find a chance to show it to Yan Ning later, especially her favorite member, Ben Xing, who had dyed his hair silver this time, looking ethereal and extremely handsome.
At this moment, four or five boys happened to walk over from behind Yan Ning on the other side.
A few people were chatting happily about basketball when a boy asked:
"Brother Lu, at the end of the month, Eagle City is coming to arrange a match. Why don't you come too?"
Almost at the same time, thinking of the busy study in No. 1 Middle School, Xin Jing's mood turned from joy to sadness, and she said worriedly:
"Oh, I really don't know when I can see my family, heron, heron with my own eyes!!!"
Xin Jing's voice is quite loud.
The emphasis is also placed on the four words "my family's heron".
As soon as these words were spoken, Yan Ning noticed with his peripheral vision that several gazes turned towards him from the side.
Especially the person in the middle, his presence was too strong, making her want to ignore him. Even if his name was "Lu Chen", she couldn't.
His nickname.
Is it such a coincidence?
Is it just called "Me, Home, Road, Road"?
Yan Ning was too tired to think about it, she just wanted to resolve the misunderstanding as soon as possible, so she shouted quickly, loudly, and clearly:
"Lin, Lu——"
Then, she gently pulled Xin Jing's arm, motioning her friend to look to the side, and continued:
"That's the idol from 5 MEN who did the bunny dance so well, Xinxin, right?"
It was only after Yan Ning reminded Xin Jing that she became aware of the surrounding situation.
As soon as she realized what was happening, Xin Jing was so embarrassed that she dug her toes into the ground. She felt numb and mechanically explained in a stiff tone:
"Oh, right! That's right! It's Lin and Lu! Lin for forest, Lu for egret. His nickname is 'Lu Lu'. He's the face of the team, and his support color is..."
The autumn sky is blue, windless and cloudless.
The playground was crowded with people, and noisy conversations came from all directions.
Yan Ning paid some attention to the surroundings.
The misunderstanding should be cleared up.
Several gazes withdrew one after another, but the person in the middle was the last to move away.
Amidst the noisy voices.
Yan Ning seemed to hear a chuckle.
Then, she heard the man speak again.
"I can go to the ball game,"
He paused for a moment, his voice tinged with a more perceptible smile, "If, there is a No. 5 jersey."
The boys took bigger steps, perhaps because there was no more excitement to watch, and in just a few words, they surpassed them.
Xin Jing patted his chest with lingering fear.
Yan Ning raised his eyes and looked slightly ahead at the back of the round head with short black hair.
At that moment, she was almost certain that—
This person.
High probability.
It was intentional.
Wednesday.
Evening self-study get out of class is over.
There are two evening self-study sessions in No. 1 Middle School. After the two classes, the lights in the teaching building will not be turned off quickly, so students can stay in the classroom for a while.
Yan Ning usually went home after the second period. Today, however, there was a difficult math problem, and Yan Ning pored over it for a long time, finishing it only when the class was almost gone. She shouldered her backpack and walked down the teaching building. Many rooms were dark, and only a few students were left on the street.
After saying goodbye to the girl sitting behind him, Yan Ning walked towards the school gate alone.
This road is the only way to enter and exit the gate of No. 1 Middle School.
The street lights are dim.
There are dozens of sycamore trees planted on both sides of the road. It is said that they were planted in the year the school was founded. They are nearly a hundred years old, with thick trunks and lush branches and leaves.
The evening wind blew, and the shadows of the trees swayed.
It feels a little bit eerie.
Yan Ning was not afraid and walked at a steady pace until he reached the school gate.
At this time, two figures appeared under a tree three or five meters ahead.
Yan Ning couldn't help but stop.
Take another closer look.
There are three people.
There was also a dark figure squatting on the ground, holding an unknown object rolled into a tube in its hand. Seeing Yan Ning's gaze directed in this direction, it said angrily:
"What are you looking at?"
The boy's voice sounded strangely familiar.
Perhaps, after realizing that the person coming was a girl, the shadow paused, but it didn't get much better. He urged impatiently:
"It's none of your business, go away!"
Yan Ning also realized where he had heard this voice before.
Last Friday, in the teacher's office.
This person is Cheng Yuan.
Although it was not very clear, Cheng Yuan's gaze had not moved away.
Yan Ning nodded.
Indicates that she heard him.
There are two roads, but Yan Ning did not cross the road and walk on the opposite sidewalk as Cheng Yuan wished.
Instead, he continued to pass by the three people calmly.
It's just that the pace is a little faster than before.
But only a little.
Cheng Yuan: ...
Since I couldn't find a place to vent my anger, I had to give up.
When Yan Ning passed by, Cheng Yuan clenched the paper tube in his hand, frowned, hid behind him for a while, and stared at her until the tree trunk blocked his view and Yan Ning had already walked to the front.
Cheng Yuan lowered his voice and said to the two people beside him:
"Wait a little longer, I don't believe I won't be able to see him today."
There were two low "OK" sounds.
Two or three meters ahead.
The night is very quiet.
Yan Ning slowed down his pace and heard every word of these words.
She subconsciously clenched the straps of her backpack with both hands.
When she passed by just now, she deliberately glanced at the two people standing next to her.
One fat and one thin, as expected, they were the other two people who were being educated in the office with Cheng Yuan that day.
It was pitch dark.
It just so happens that these three people are here.
Waiting for someone...
Yan Ning couldn't help but recall that day when Lu Chen said calmly, "Three thousand words are too few, ten thousand."
It can't be.
Do these three people want revenge for this?
Yan Ning pursed his lips.
Although I heard from Xin Jing that Lu Chen usually didn't attend evening self-study or left after the first get out of class.
But when she just went downstairs, the lights in Class 1 were still on...
if.
Why did Lu Chen leave late today?
Yan Ning's pace became slower and slower. After thinking it over again and again, he decided that he had to be prepared for any eventuality.
That……
How should I remind him?
Yan Ning looked back.
The three men were still squatting under the tree trunk. Not far away on the road, only one or two students whose faces could not be seen were walking towards the school gate.
If she wanted to bypass the three of them and find them accurately, it would be almost impossible if Lu Chen, who had not left yet, reported the news.
Yan Ning turned around and saw the security room at the school gate. There was someone on duty there, and it seemed that they could communicate with the Academic Affairs Office at any time.
What reason should I use?
Say "fight"?
Definitely not appropriate.
After all, nothing has happened yet, and it's even possible that she misunderstood...
Yan Ning's brain was working rapidly.
Soon, she made up her mind, walked quickly towards the security room.
