Chapter 25
On the first day after the art performance, the second-year high school students moved together and had to change classrooms again.
There seems to be a tradition in No. 4 Middle School.
The first year of high school is in Mingde Building, the second year is in Mingzhi Building, and the third year is in Mingli Building.
Lin Jiu's class moved from the second floor to the third floor, and now to the fourth floor.
One thing remained unchanged: their class was still next to the stairs, and the door closest to the stairs was still the back door.
After moving the classroom, the seats were rearranged without being disrupted. The whole group was just moved to the right, not much changed.
During an evening study session, Yuan Hui was sitting on the podium, looking at the blank blackboard behind him, and suddenly spoke.
"The blackboard at the back needs some work. What do you think I'd write on it?"
No one spoke.
Yuan Hui looked at the crowd below the stage and said, "If you all remain silent, I'll decide for myself..."
Although he dragged out the last word, the classroom was still silent, and everyone was busy with their own things.
Seeing this, Yuan Hui immediately made the decision: "I'll give you three days to write down your target schools. Then look at them every day to remind yourself."
Everyone: “…”
The next day at noon, when Lin Jiu came back from lunch, nearly a quarter of the blackboard was covered with chalk writing.
She stopped in front of the blackboard and looked at it carefully.
There are all kinds of schools on the blackboard, and there are basically no important ones.
After hesitating for a moment, she decided there was no rush and she could write it later.
After returning to her seat and waiting for Wen Min to come back, she pointed back at the blackboard and asked her, "Have you written it?"
Wen Min immediately shook his head, "No."
Lin Jiu then asked, "Have you decided which school you want to apply to?"
Wen Min glanced at Ji Xin and found that he was lowering his head, so he nodded quickly to Lin Jiu.
Then she said, "... Let's talk after dinner today. I also want to ask you something."
Lin Jiu made an OK gesture.
After dinner, Lin Jiu waited at the door on the first floor of the cafeteria for a while before he saw Wen Min and Ji Xin.
Wen Min came running over, took Lin Jiu's hand affectionately, and then made a goodbye gesture to Ji Xin.
Ji Xin looked at the two of them holding hands, frowned, but still didn't say anything and left first.
After Ji Xin left, Lin Jiu was planning to find a place to talk.
As a result, Wen Min refused, feeling that there was no privacy at all.
He pulled Lin Jiu and walked towards the hill where few students went up.
Wen Min's parents are teachers, so she is not afraid of teachers at all. She just says hello when she meets someone she knows.
In this way, she brought Lin Jiu to a small empty pavilion halfway up the mountain.
The pavilion is surrounded by tall trees, wild flowers and weeds within five meters, making it very secluded.
Most of the stone benches in the pavilion are clean, with only a few fallen leaves on them.
Lin Jiu took out some toilet paper and gave it to Wen Min. "There's dust on the stool. Wipe it off."
Wen Min then said, "You are so thoughtful."
Lin Jiu modestly said: "Normal operation."
After saying that, Lin Jiu chose a slightly cleaner stone bench to wipe it, and threw the used toilet paper into a nearby trash can.
Almost at the same time, Lin Jiu and Wen Min sat down.
Looking at Wen Min opposite him, Lin Jiu didn't know how they ended up here just to talk about choosing a college.
How private is it?
Blinking, she spoke first: "Which school are you going to apply to?"
"Beiling University." Wen Min said.
Lin Jiu felt as if he had seen this school before.
I thought about it for a few seconds, but still couldn't remember.
She asked, "Which city is this school in?"
"Jinghe City." Wen Min replied.
Jinghe City is the capital, so it is normal to go there.
After pondering for a few seconds, she asked again, "Is there anything special about Beiling University? Why did you choose to apply there?"
Hearing this, Wen Min was unusually nervous and stammered without saying anything.
Lin Jiu knew that he had finally asked the right question. It must have something to do with Ji Xin, otherwise they wouldn't be chatting here in private.
"Is it related to Ji Xin?"
Wen Min nodded and said, "A lot of it is because of Ji Xin."
After a pause, Wen Min blushed and explained, "I loved Jinghe City when I was a child, so it was normal for me to choose a university there. However, I chose Beiling University mainly because it is closest to Jinghe University."
This sentence contains a lot of information.
Lin Jiu opened his eyes slightly: "You are..."
Wen Min interrupted her: "Yes, it's just what you think... I like Ji Xin, I want to pursue him."
As soon as he said the word "like", Wen Min spoke the following words with great momentum.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Jiu didn't expect Wen Min to be so vigorous.
She asked cautiously, "After graduation?"
Wen Min said loudly, "Of course, if I dared to have a premature love affair in high school, my parents would beat me to death if they knew."
That's good.
Lin Jiu breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "...When did you decide to pursue him?"
"I knew... until the day Ji Xin was admitted."
"I remember that day," Lin Jiu said, "after hearing the news, you were completely depressed."
Wen Min lowered her head and tickled her nails. "Although I knew Ji Xin's grades wouldn't be bad, when I learned he was admitted, my first thought was to break up with him..."
Suddenly raising his head, Wen Min looked into my eyes and said, "From the day he became my neighbor, he has never been separated from me... We have always been together, going to school together, playing together."
After finishing speaking, Wen Min pursed his lips, "But he went to college a year early, leaving me alone to struggle in my senior year of high school."
"I remember you were in a good mood the next day." Lin Jiu said.
Hearing this, Wen Min smiled, "Yes, Ji Xin said he would wait for me in Jinghe."
Speaking of this, Wen Min also told Lin Jiuzai the scene at that time in detail.
-
That day, after evening self-study get out of class, Wen Min carried her schoolbag and left the classroom with Ji Xin.
On the way, Wen Min was very silent, no longer chattering like before. And Ji Xin was not a talkative person to begin with.
The two of them took the bus back to the community without saying a word.
When they were still three hundred meters away from home, Wen Min couldn't help but say, "Congratulations, you can go to Jinghe University early."
She said congratulations but didn't look happy for him at all.
Ji Xin paused and said, "You are not happy." His tone was very firm.
"No." Wen Min lowered his head and looked at his feet.
Ji Xin ignored her answer and asked, "Why are you unhappy?"
Wen Min looked up and glared at him, then said hurriedly, "I told you, I'm not unhappy."
Her voice was a little loud, and a response echoed in the quiet neighborhood.
Wen Min was startled when he heard his own voice and quickened his pace.
After walking a few steps, Ji Xin pulled her under a big tree with a street lamp next to it.
Feeling the force on her wrist, she looked up at Ji Xin and complained, "You're too strong. My wrist hurts."
Her eyes were red, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Xin turned her hand upwards and gently rubbed the redness on her wrist with the thumb of his other hand.
Wen Min looked down at Ji Xin's hands and felt that he probably didn't mean it.
Just as I was about to forgive him, a voice sounded above my head: "Sorry, I didn't control the strength well." The tone was unusually gentle.
Wen Min smiled slightly after hearing this, but before she could feel happy for a moment, Ji Xin said coldly, "Why are you unhappy?"
You are so stubborn that you have to ask for the result.
Wen Min's mouth stiffened, her mind racing. Just as she was trying to come up with a random excuse to fool around, she heard Ji Xin call her name very seriously: "Wen Min."
His gaze was like a tangible needle, piercing into her head.
She suddenly came to her senses and realized that she couldn't persuade him.
So she raised her head and looked directly into Ji Xin's dark eyes, and said very subtly: "You are going to Jinghe University, and I still have one more year to study. By then, you will make new friends and forget me."
Ji Xin thought of many reasons and thought that someone else bullied her, but it turned out to be because of him.
Relieved, he said, "I won't have any new friends. You will always be my best friend."
Who wants to be friends with you?
Wen Min was a little annoyed, thinking that Ji Xin was really stupid and had a very straightforward mind.
She turned her head to look at the tree trunk next to her and said jokingly, "A lot of people in college will fall in love. By then, you will be in a relationship and will not remember the promise you made now."
Looking at the wandering little head in front of him, Ji Xin suddenly smiled, "Before you come, I promise that I won't fall in love... I'll wait for you in Jinghe City in a year, okay?"
Wen Min couldn't believe it and looked at him in surprise: "Really?"
"real."
"But I can't get into Jinghe University."
"I remember that your uncle and aunt want you to take the normal school exam. You can apply to Jinghe Normal University. The school is ranked very high. I can tutor you during the winter and summer vacations. You will definitely have no problem taking the exam."
"Okay, let me think about it... Anyway, I will definitely go to Jinghe City to find you." Wen Min promised.
"OK."
Wen Min felt that the matter had been made clear and was about to leave when Ji Xin stopped him.
"What's wrong?" Wen Min was a little confused and didn't know why Ji Xin stopped her.
Ji Xin's eyes were fixed on her face, with a certain scrutiny.
He said, "While I was gone...did you do something?"
Suddenly, a bell rang in Wen Min's head, and she thought of what she had done.
When people are in a hurry, their micro-expressions always seem a little obvious.
In front of Ji Xin, Wen Min became even more flustered. Her pupils were dilated, and the corners of her mouth were tense, and it was obvious that something was wrong.
Originally, Ji Xin didn't believe what Meng Qinyang said, but now he is a little shaken.
Wen Min doesn't look innocent at all.
Wen Min hadn't figured out how to say it yet, so he moved closer and said, "I heard people say you've learned to follow others..."
His tone was cold, and Wen Min felt a little scared listening to it late at night.
What is even more frightening than these words is that the guess came true and Meng Qinyang really told Ji Xin.
It's like heaven one second and hell the next.
Can't we talk about this later? Why do we have to do it today?
As soon as I feel happy, I have to solve this problem.
Wen Min suddenly had a headache.
There is really no other way.
"...It's so difficult to answer. Do you really like Meng Qinyang?"
What the hell.
After hearing this, Wen Min's face was full of disbelief. He pointed at his nose and said, "How could I possibly like him?!"
"oh?"
Under Ji Xin's questioning gaze, Wen Min confessed everything honestly.
Ji Xin sneered and looked at Wen Min who was acting cute.
Sure enough, she still looks at faces this way.
Since he looked good, I followed him happily.
Now, while he is not around, you dare to look at the opposite sex.
However, he also knew that even if Wen Min had eight hundred courage, she would only dare to take a few peeks.
and.
Chen Miao...he doesn't like Wen Min at all and poses no threat at all.
The only thing to note is Meng Qinyang's deliberate approach.
After a few seconds of contemplation, Ji Xin said, "Don't pay attention to Meng Qinyang from now on. All approaches from the opposite sex are malicious. Remember this."
That's it.
Wen Min really didn't expect that she could get away with it like this, and Ji Xin didn't seem particularly angry.
Before, his face turned black whenever he heard Chen Miao's name.
Now there is no response at all.
She also didn't understand why Ji Xin emphasized Meng Qinyang to her?
Oh my God! There really is nothing going on between her and him!!
Seeing Ji Xin's growing impatience, Wen Min hurriedly raised her hand and said, "I promise that I will ignore Meng Qinyang and have no contact with other members of the opposite sex for the entire year of high school. I will study hard and make progress every day."
Hearing Wen Min's assurance, Ji Xin's slightly frown began to relax. He said, "Let's end this matter here. From now on, focus on your work and don't look at me too much."
Wen Min nodded quickly, his eyes sparkling and his face obedient.
"Let's go home." Ji Xin said.
After Ji Xin spoke, Wen Min finally relaxed and returned home happily.
-
After listening to Wen Min's story, Lin Jiu immediately asked, "Didn't Ji Xin suggest that you apply to Jinghe Normal University?"
"Yeah." Wen Min touched his nose with his hand. "After I got home, I realized that Jinghe Normal University is too far from Jinghe University..."
"......" Lin Jiu glanced at Wen Min strangely, "You're still in love?"
Wen Min immediately retorted loudly: "I don't want to be a teacher, so I chose Beiling University."
"If you can convince your parents."
"I'm sure I can convince them, don't worry about that."
Wen Min frowned, "...but I don't know how to tell Ji Xin. I'm afraid he'll notice something in advance."
Lin Jiu: “…”
In Lin Jiu's eyes, Wen Min and Ji Xin purely like each other, and it seems like he is in unrequited love.
The moment Lin Jiu heard Wen Min say that she wanted to pursue Ji Xin, he actually wanted to laugh.
She really couldn't bear to think about what Ji Xin's expression would be if he knew that Wen Min wanted to pursue him.
I guess that icy face can’t hold on any longer.
After a moment of infatuation, Lin Jiu said, "Don't worry, he won't know. Just tell him that you like that university, and he probably won't doubt it."
After all, Ji Xin probably found it hard to imagine that Wen Min only applied to Beiling University because she wanted to be closer to him.
"Really?" Wen Min asked.
Lin Jiu nodded confidently and added, "If you really feel unsure, you can talk about it after the college entrance examination. Of course, sometimes the situation changes rapidly, so you just have to adapt to it."
Wen Min thought it was feasible. "Okay, then I'll keep it a secret for now. If I can't hide it anymore, I'll explain it in detail."
As if a big problem had been solved, Wen Min smiled happily, looking extremely bright.
Seeing that Wen Min was in a good mood, Lin Jiu asked the question that had been lingering in his mind for a long time: "Is it true that Zhuo Ling is against you because she likes Ji Xin?"
She saw that Zhuo Ling didn't seem to pay much attention to Ji Xin, and it didn't look like she liked him.
Is it because Ji Xin is too cold that Zhuo Ling likes him secretly?
“…Who said that?” Wen Min asked.
Lin Jiu touched his chin and said, "Everyone was saying this when school started..."
"No, that's only a small part of the reason."
Lin Jiu pricked up his ears and listened.
Wen Min said: "Ji Xin is handsome, good at studying, and comes from a well-off family. It's normal for Zhuo Ling to like him in junior high school, but Ji Xin doesn't like to talk to people, so she didn't get close to him."
After a pause, Wen Min continued, "I had a little quarrel with her at the beginning of the school year, and she was a little unhappy with me. Also, I'm pretty, and people always compare me to her, which made her even more uncomfortable. Besides, Ji Xin walks with me every day, which means she's at a disadvantage to me, which makes her even more unhappy with me..."
At this point, Wen Min rolled her eyes. "Then she started treating me differently, and the other female classmates also gradually distanced themselves from me."
Lin Jiu didn't expect this to be the case.
Love is like there can't be two tigers in one mountain.
She looked at Wen Min and said comfortingly, "You've been wronged before."
Lin Jiu never doubted Wen Min's words. After all, she still believed in Wen Min's character.
Wen Min waved her hand nonchalantly. "It's nothing. It doesn't hurt me much. Besides, I go to and from school with Ji Xin all the time. It won't affect me."
Lin Jiu: “…”
Okay.
Judging from Wen Min's current personality, he is indeed not affected.
