Chapter 21 Why do you treat her like this [VIP]
I have crossed mountains and rivers, crossed wind and rain, but I can never reach you.
——"Chronological Diary"
Zhen Hao walked out of the classroom quickly and came in front of Zhou Chunrui and the others.
"Rui Rui, maybe I really need you to help me clean up." She said anxiously.
"No problem, go ahead." Zhou Chunrui agreed readily.
Zhen Hao didn't even have time to say hello to Shi Xu before he trotted towards the back mountain.
It didn't take long to get from the classroom to the back mountain, and since she deliberately quickened her pace, she arrived in less than a minute.
Yu Ling deliberately faced the only path leading to the back mountain, while Shi Hang and others had their backs to it.
As soon as Zhen Hao appears, she can react quickly.
When Shi Hangyu first arrived, his expression was unexpectedly cold: "What's the matter? Tell me. I have something else to do later."
Not to mention Ouyang Yaya, even Yu Ling began to doubt whether Shi Hangyu really liked her, otherwise why would he be so indifferent to her...
But the arrow was on the string and had to be shot. She could only desperately suppress the inexplicable feeling and said to Shi Hangyu with a smile: "Hangyu has the same surname. Although you may not care about what I do, but what happened last time..."
She deliberately hesitated to speak in order to buy time.
Seeing that Shi Hang looked like he was ready to leave at any moment, she always felt that she couldn't delay for too long.
Damn Pei Xiaohai, could you please move faster...
She urged herself frantically in her heart, fearing that she would miss the best opportunity.
It seemed as if God heard her prayers, and the next second Zhen Hao appeared in her sight.
Shi Hang and Zi Ran didn't see it, he was waiting for Yu Ling's next words.
However, Yu Ling did not say anything else. Instead, she stood on tiptoe and stretched out her hand as if to touch his hair.
Shi Hangyu reflexively grasped her wrist. Before he could speak, she spoke first: "Hangyu, there's a leaf on your head."
"Don't worry about it." Shi Hangyu said and let go of her hand.
It was when she loosened her grip that Yu Ling pretended to sprain her ankle and fell straight onto the boy, saying "ouch" softly, which sounded like a coquettish complaint.
As soon as he saw Yu Ling and Shi Hang standing face to face, Zhen Hao stopped moving forward.
After seeing the two of them being affectionate with each other, she felt as if her feet were filled with lead and she couldn't move a step.
The moment Yu Ling fell into Shi Hang's arms, Zhen Hao could no longer bear to watch. He gathered all his strength and turned around quickly, running towards the classroom.
She doesn't understand and doesn't comprehend.
I don’t understand why Shi Hang made an appointment with me and Yu Ling. Is it just to laugh at me?
She came here with joy and hope in her heart, why should she see such a mocking scene?
Her messy footsteps revealed her chaotic mood, and her mind was also in chaos.
She had no idea why this was happening.
Her mind was full of beautiful Yu Ling and handsome Shi Hang, who were a perfect match...
Because Zhen Hao was so focused on walking that he didn't notice there was someone in front of him and bumped into him head-on.
Without even looking up, she hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, same word."
"Okay?" Shixu's voice inexplicably made people feel at ease in the night.
He saw Zhen Hao hurriedly running out of the classroom and then running in another direction, so he followed her out worriedly. He learned from Zhou Chunrui and the others that she was going to the back mountain, so he followed her without saying a word.
Although they were in the calligraphy school, it was too dark in the back mountain. Not to mention that Zhen Hao was afraid of the dark, he was mainly worried about the safety.
Unexpectedly, before he arrived, he ran into Zhen Hao who had returned.
Hearing the familiar voice, Zhen Hao was stunned for a moment, and after a while he spoke: "You...why are you here?"
Shouldn't he be on duty?
"I..." Shi Xu was speechless for a moment, and finally chose to evade the question, "I came to see where you were slacking off. The classroom is so dirty today. Without the hardworking Haohao Tongzi, I can't finish the work by myself..."
The reason was lame, but Zhen Hao believed it.
Not only did she believe it, she also felt guilty: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you alone to clean up..."
"I'm glad you know." Shi Xu gently grabbed the back of her neck and then pushed her forward slightly, "So go back to the classroom and help."
Zhen Hao sniffed, suppressed the urge to cry, and nodded: "I understand."
Shi Xu had excellent eyesight, and even in the dim night, he could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Zhen Hao. Her voice was a little hoarse, which made him even more certain that she was about to cry.
Why are you crying?
Because who is crying?
What happened?
He didn't dare to ask, nor did he want to ask.
He was afraid that asking would hurt Zhen Hao's feelings and his own as well.
Ever since Zhou Chunrui told him that the person Zhen Hao was going to meet in the back mountain was Shi Hangyu, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
At the end of the third evening study session, he saw Shi Hangyu looking worried, and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What's wrong? You look like that?"
“It’s okay, just a small problem.
Ask again.
"The class beauty asked me to meet her in the back hills. I'm sure she's nervous."
"Class beauty?" Shi Xu asked in confusion.
"The class beauty said, "The class beauty is Yu Ling. Time sequence, you can't..."
His words were interrupted by the sequence of events: "Who is the class beauty? What does it have to do with me? Why do I have to know?"
Pei Xiaohai: “…”
The topics between boys are very simple, nothing more than what to eat, what to play, and talking about girls.
Shixu and Shihang's game with the other two was playing basketball. They ate whatever they wanted, but as for girls, they never talked about them.
This time was no exception. Shi Hangyu directly cut the subject short: "What do you want to drink? I'll treat you."
Time stops recalling.
He had heard a lot about Zhen Hao's liking for Shi Hang. At first, he thought it was just nonsense, a pastime for some bored people, but once he put himself in the shoes of some people, it was easy to think that way.
From the initial disdain to the later indecision, he felt more and more that Zhen Hao really liked Shi Hangyu.
This discovery made him feel uncomfortable every day. Whether he was facing Shi Hangyu or Zhen Hao, he felt an indescribable anger that he could neither spit out nor swallow.
This situation made him more certain that Zhen Hao had different feelings for Shi Hang.
This conclusion made him feel bloated in the chest and sad in the heart.
This feeling was very strange and he didn't know what it was called.
It was a feeling that even though Zhen Hao was right in front of him, he felt that the girl was getting farther and farther away from him, so far away that he couldn't catch her no matter what he did.
Although he was smiling, a feeling of powerlessness was spreading in his heart, as if he had suffered a flood. All his senses were displaced in an instant, leaving only numbness.
That night, Zhen Hao did not show up for the appointment, and Shi Hang and Zi Ran could not wait for her.
The next day.
A rumor quietly spread on campus.
Even Zhou Chunrui found it unbelievable: "Within a month, there have been two rumors that Shi Hang and Yu Ling are in a relationship. So, this can't be just a rumor?!"
Zhen Hao hadn't slept well because of what happened last night, and early in the morning he heard Zhou Chunrui talking about Shi Hang in his ear. He couldn't help but feel irritated, and his pace unconsciously quickened.
She had never told anyone that she liked Shi Hangyu, so she didn't blame Zhou Chunrui, but she couldn't pretend nothing had happened. She simply numbed herself by not listening, asking, or thinking about it.
Arriving at the classroom, she just walked in and her eyes met Shi Hangyu's.
She lowered her head instantly, not daring to look at him again.
No matter what, she was the one who broke the appointment first last night.
The moment she lowered her head, Shi Hang and Yu also withdrew their gaze.
He felt like something was wrong with everything that happened last night, but he couldn't figure it out. In the end, he just assumed Zhen Hao had forgotten their agreement and decided to find another opportunity to apologize to her.
Meanwhile, Pei Xiaohai was sending a message to claim credit: "Sister Yu, did you hear what everyone is saying? Am I awesome?"
This boring calligraphy life needs some excitement. He is a naughty man at heart, who does whatever he wants to do for fun, not caring if others get hurt.
So he did whatever Yu Ling said and enjoyed the pleasure of teasing her.
He was the one who spread the rumors about Yu Ling and Shi Hang being in love twice, and he was very successful.
While others were proud of getting good grades, Pei Xiaohai felt a great sense of accomplishment for the success of his prank.
People are different from each other.
Yu Ling didn't reply to his message, which made him feel that he had not done enough, so he moved on to the next step.
As soon as Song Jing sat down, he stood up and put his head towards Shi Hangyu, almost going over to Song Jing's side and saying, "Brother Yu, are you really doing that with the class beauty?"
Shi Hangyu couldn't help but frown when he heard his words: "What's that? Don't talk nonsense and ruin people's reputation. I only have four words for you: the innocent will be innocent."
Pei Xiaohai couldn't help but curl his lips.
What a great saying: “The innocent will be cleared.”
In his opinion, Shi Hangyu's personality was so boring that it was a bit dull.
He ignored Shi Hangyu and turned to Song Jing: "Hey, Brother Jing, aren't you curious?"
Song Jing was chewing gum in a daze and asked him, "What should I be curious about?"
"I'm curious if the class beauty is really in love with this guy, Yu Ge." Pei Xiaohai said as a matter of course.
He believed what Yu Ling said without a doubt.
After all, the class beauty is the class beauty. That face is beautiful and authoritative. It is not surprising that she is favored by Shi Hang and Song Jing at the same time.
However, Song Jing's answer disappointed him: "Not curious."
Pei Xiaohai: “…”
The classroom was always noisy before class. Zhen Hao's ears were filled with all kinds of noises, which made her even more depressed. She simply lay on the table and acted like a turtle.
Yu Ling didn't take those rumors seriously at all. She only cared about Song Jing's reaction when she heard them.
She also quickly received information from Pei Xiaohai, the "spy": "Brother Jing only said three words."
"Which three words?" she replied quickly.
"Regarding your relationship with me, Brother Jing said—" Pei Xiaohai sent it in two sentences, "I'm not curious."
Yu Ling: “…”
Looking at the message sent by Pei Xiaohai, she clenched her fists and looked at Song Jing's back unwillingly.
She didn't believe that Song Jing had no reaction.
Since this method doesn't work, she can only implement plan B.
Time slipped away quietly while Yu Ling waited for the next opportunity. The calendar turned page by page, and the final review week arrived.
The three-person group became a two-person group, and from this week on, Yan Yunshu no longer wrote with Zhen Hao.
"I'm really not used to not having Yunyun's silent company." Zhou Chunrui and Zhen Hao couldn't help but sigh as they rode bicycles side by side.
Zhen Hao also felt very uncomfortable: "I really want to go to high school as soon as possible and take the college entrance examination, so that we can be inseparable again."
Zhou Chunrui couldn't help but look forward to it: "In order to be inseparable, I'll rush through five sets of papers at night!"
Zhen Hao glanced at her and said coldly, "You're more like eating five packs of snacks in a rage."
Zhou Chunrui: “…”
As usual, the two arrived at the calligraphy school smoothly, returned to the dormitory smoothly, and walked to the classroom smoothly to prepare for evening self-study.
The moment Zhen Hao walked into the classroom, he felt several pairs of eyes fixed on him.
Unlike the previous inquiry that was filled with a hint of malice, this time she felt something different.
Life is changing every moment, and this time the change was so big that Zhen Hao almost couldn't cope with it.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn't have believed that this thing was actually happening to her.
