Chapter 7 I don't want to be hostile to girls
Today the sky cleared up after the rain, and a rainbow bridge appeared in the sky.
I hope I can be like the sky, cry when I want to cry, laugh when I want to laugh, and lose my temper when I want to lose my temper.
——"Zhen Hao Diary"
Even if there was thunder and heavy rain outside, Zhen Hao had to bite the bullet and run back to the classroom.
The next class is the Chinese class taught by the head teacher.
It’s not because she is afraid of the head teacher. On the contrary, she likes the head teacher very much and also likes the Chinese class taught by the head teacher.
She had just taken two steps when the heavy rain poured down on her head, soaking her to the bone.
She tightly held the letters in her arms that made her feel overwhelmed, gritted her teeth, and ran towards the teaching building at the speed of a 100-meter sprint.
The girls' restroom was not far from the westernmost Grade 7 (1) class, only about a hundred meters away. As long as she ran to the corridor, she could walk along the corridor and return to the classroom smoothly without getting wet in the rain.
She was so focused on running that she didn't notice someone coming in front of her and bumped into him/her head-on.
The boy stood still holding the umbrella, one hand grasping her thin arm, and the umbrella moved mostly towards her: "Okay, it's me."
In the heavy rain, the time was not even as tall as the girl, but the slightly raised umbrella blocked all the wind and rain for her.
Zhen Hao turned her head and saw the young man. The space under the umbrella was dry with a hint of moisture. The hand holding her arm was warm and gentle, and a special feeling arose in her heart.
She didn't say anything, but just let Shixu hold an umbrella over her as she ran towards the teaching building.
As soon as the two of them reached the corridor, Zhen Hao quickly distanced himself from him and politely thanked him, "Thank you."
Although Shi Xu has always taken good care of her over the years, she inexplicably wanted to keep her distance from him since she entered junior high school.
Maybe it’s because of puberty, or maybe it’s because he doesn’t want to be hostile to girls.
Shixu is not only a good student, but also a good basketball player and has a face that can charm the opposite sex. Zhen Hao is very sure that he will be even more popular in the future than he is now.
There was another deeper reason that she herself did not want to admit - she did not want Shi Hang to misunderstand her.
Shixu and Shihang often go out together and play basketball together. It is obvious that they have a good relationship.
If she gets too close to Shixu, it would be bad if Shi Hangyu misunderstood her.
Hearing her distant words, Shi Xu opened his mouth, but in the end said nothing.
Zhen Hao spoke again: "Um, classmate Shi, can I ask you a favor?"
Shi Xu's eyes lit up when he heard this: "Okay, go ahead."
"Can you come back to the classroom later?" Zhen Hao said, feeling that he had gone too far, and immediately changed his words, "Or you can go back to the classroom first, okay?"
No matter how you look at it, it was because of him that she didn't get soaked to the skin. If she were to go too far and ask him to be late on purpose, that would really be revenge.
But after she said that, she still didn't dare look at Shixu any longer, for fear that he would ask her why, because she couldn't answer.
The boy's eyes, which had just lit up, dimmed again in an instant. The atmosphere was silent for a moment before Zhen Hao finally heard him say, "Of course."
After saying that, he turned around and sprinted down the corridor.
I ran towards Class (11) at a speed I had never seen before, even in the 50-meter sprint test in physical education.
He just wanted to go faster and faster, to save time for Zhen Hao and to relieve her of some of her guilt.
He could tell that the girl's tone was full of embarrassment, and he didn't want her to feel guilty about such a small matter.
So he ran desperately.
As long as they didn't walk into the classroom one after the other, Zhen Hao wouldn't feel uncomfortable.
Zhen Hao looked at the figure getting farther and farther away from him and felt that he was a terrible person.
A huge tearing feeling surged through her body. On one side was Shi Hangyu, who spoke to her with a cold face, and on the other was Shi Xu, who held an umbrella for her to block the wind and rain...
However, no matter how long she dawdled, she had to get back to the classroom before the bell rang, so she soon started jogging behind Shixu.
Fortunately, she caught up.
As soon as she entered the classroom, her eyes met Pei Xiaohai's.
He looked at her with a smile, and at the same time said something to the boy beside him. She couldn't hear clearly, but she intuitively felt that it was related to her.
Pei Xiaohai is Shi Hang's deskmate. They are from the same place and are elementary school classmates. They have a very close relationship.
She clenched her hands guiltily, lowered her head deeply the moment Shi Hang looked up, and stared at the floor the whole time before returning to her seat.
Even with an umbrella, Zhen Hao still got a little wet when she just came out of the ladies' room.
Seeing that her bangs were wet, Yu Ling took a tissue to help her wipe it, but she stopped her: "Thank you, I can do it myself."
Zhen Hao looked at the girl's sincere eyes, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
She really wanted to find Yu Ling to ask her clearly, but she was very confused and hadn't figured out how to start.
She was absent-minded throughout the entire morning class, constantly thinking about how to deal with the "love letter" issue.
Zhou Chunrui, sitting in front of her, was already choking with frustration. She'd found out in first-period English class exactly what Yao Mingna hadn't finished saying the night before. The more she learned, the angrier she got. She'd planned to find Zhen Hao after class to clarify the situation, but Zhen Hao had vanished the moment class ended and nearly arrived late for the second period. She hadn't even had the chance to say what she'd been holding back.
There was no way, she could only continue to endure.
What Zhen Hao didn't expect was that even his favorite Chinese class became boring.
She stole a glance at the young man sitting in the middle of the first row of the five-seater.
The boy stood with his back straight, listening attentively, just as she had written in the letter.
But those letters...
She withdrew her gaze and glanced sideways at Yu Ling who was also listening attentively.
She didn't hear a word the teacher said, and her deskmate's gentle and beautiful smile seemed to become hideous.
She really wanted to ask Yu Ling why she did that, but the courage she mustered was lost in self-denial again and again.
Yu Ling is such a nice person, she wouldn't treat her like this. There must be some misunderstanding.
She decided to ask Yao Mingna first when she returned to the dormitory for lunch break after school, and then see how to talk to Yu Ling.
When the Chinese class was over, the sky had cleared up.
The sky in Min County is like this. Wind and rain come and go quickly, and there is always a rainbow hanging in the sky.
After finally getting through school, Zhen Hao said goodbye to Yu Ling as usual.
Yu Ling lives nearby and is a day student, eating all three meals at home.
Zhen Hao envied her very much, but it wasn't just for this reason.
"Okay, I'm dying of holding it in." Zhou Chunrui spent the whole morning doing homework and participating in campus long-distance running. He had no chance to chat with Zhen Hao at all.
"Hold it for a while." By then, the three of them had already reached the classroom door. Zhen Hao glanced towards the far west and said, "The women's restroom is too far. Let's go directly to the cafeteria to find a restroom."
"Okay, what are you talking about?" Zhou Chunrui resisted the urge to roll his eyes. "I'm not talking about suffocating to death."
"What is that?" Zhen Hao glanced at the silent Yan Yunshu: "Yunyun, do you know?"
Without Yan Yunshu having to speak, Zhou Chunrui spilled the beans: "Okay, have you noticed that the classmates in your class have been acting strangely these past two days? Not only that, but even the people in the dormitory are acting strangely. What kind of bullshit are they saying? It's so rude! Okay, did you offend someone?"
Hearing this, Zhen Hao frowned slightly.
It seems that she doesn't need to ask Yao Mingna for information, Zhou Chunrui will solve her inner doubts.
"What did they say?" Zhen Hao asked the question he wanted to know most.
"They say you..." Even the carefree Zhou Chunrui couldn't help but pause. Seeing that Zhen Hao didn't look unusual, he continued cautiously, "They say you're shameless. At such a young age, you're trying to imitate others in chasing boys, but you don't even know how to look at yourself in the mirror..."
Yan Yunshu couldn't bear to listen any longer: "Rui Rui, stop talking."
"It's okay." Zhen Hao clenched his fist slightly, his nails digging into his palm, causing a slight pain. "What else did they say?"
"Okay, let's not listen to it anymore, okay?" Zhou Chunrui was furious when he thought of those words. "Those people must have eaten shit, their mouths stink. Let's not listen to their nonsense."
"I didn't." Zhen Hao said a little aggrievedly.
She didn't know where their malice came from, nor did she know what those letters were all about, but this matter must be related to Yu Ling.
"Nothing?" Zhou Chunrui was confused by her three nonsensical words.
"I don't pursue boys." Zhen Hao seemed a little guilty when saying this.
Although she did not pursue boys, she did hide her unknown girlish thoughts in her diary.
"Of course I know you didn't." Zhou Chunrui said, then changed the subject. "Besides, even if you pursue a boy, so what? Who says that a girl pursuing a boy is shameless? They are the most ridiculous, old-fashioned people!"
Yan Yunshu echoed, "I agree."
"Wow, Yunyun actually agrees with me." Zhou Chunrui was walking peacefully, but when he heard Yan Yunshu's words, he immediately danced with joy: "Great, did you hear that? Even Yunyun agrees with what I said!"
Of the three of them, Yan Yunshu's grades were the most consistent, consistently ranking in the top three. Zhen Hao's fluctuated wildly, sometimes ranking first in the grade, other times falling to the bottom 50. As for Zhou Chunrui, what was studying? She didn't know. She only knew that youth was invincible and happiness was the best.
Happiness is contagious. Zhou Chunrui's beaming face dispelled the gloom in Zhen Hao's heart to a great extent, and even his steps became lighter.
To get to the cafeteria, you have to cross a small overpass that connects to the student dormitory. This building, separate from the teaching building, has five floors. The male and female dormitories are divided in half, with a fence in the middle, making it difficult to see what's going on on the other side. The cafeteria is located in a two-story building next to the first floor of the dormitory.
How annoying are the boys living on the third floor?
The overpass is directly connected to the second floor of the student dormitory. Every student who wants to go to the cafeteria has to pass through here, and the third-floor corridor is right above their heads.
Whenever the girls walked across the overpass and were about to enter the second floor, they had to take a deep breath and rush over quickly.
Why? Because the stinky boys standing in the corridor on the third floor will spit down!
The three of them left a little late, and when they stepped onto the overpass, there was already a row of boys standing there, including Pei Xiaohai.
He was looking at the three people below eagerly, and said with a grin, "Why don't you leave? Are you scared? Hahahaha——"
Zhen Hao frowned in disgust.
It’s really hard to describe a boy with no taste.
"Hang Yu, come here too!" Pei Xiaohai turned around and called out to Master Hang Yu, "It's so fun, come quickly!"
"Don't do such boring things." Shi Hangyu's tone was light.
Although he didn't see anyone, Zhen Hao still subconsciously became nervous.
Taking advantage of the moment when Pei Xiaohai and others turned their heads, Zhou Chunrui quickly pulled the two of them through this "disgusting door" and successfully entered the second floor.
"Shi Hangyu, it's all your fault! They ran away!"
When they entered the building, they could still clearly hear Pei Xiaohai's complaints.
"Boys are so annoying." Zhou Chunrui complained dissatisfiedly.
"I agree." In just five minutes, Yan Yunshu agreed with Zhou Chunrui for the second time.
"Hehe, Yunyun agrees with me again." Zhou Chunrui jumped for joy again, "I'm happy again."
"Hurry up," Zhen You reminded him kindly, "If you don't hurry up, your favorite braised pork with dried bamboo shoots will be sold out."
"Yes, yes, yes, hurry up!" Zhou Chunrui hurriedly quickened his pace.
Arriving at the cafeteria, the three of them rushed straight to the counter for their favorite dishes. Zhen Hao and Yan Yunshu finished their meals the fastest, and it took a while before they saw Zhou Chunrui sitting across from them with a bitter look on his face.
"Why do you have that expression?" Zhen Hao asked.
"You're right, the stewed pork with dried bamboo shoots is really sold out." Zhou Chunrui was about to cry, "My happiness is gone and will never come back, wuwuwu——"
At this moment, a familiar voice came: "If you don't mind, you can eat mine."
Then a dish of braised pork with dried bamboo shoots that looked delicious was placed on the stainless steel dining table in front of the three people.
