Chapter 197 High School If Line: Xu Jialan, You Can't Escape
Xu Jialan looked into the distance.
His arms were casually draped over the railing.
A faint smile played on her lips, and the colorful fireworks were reflected in her black pupils.
“Shen Xichuan.”
She shouted.
The boy turned his head and looked at her face, with a hint of tenderness in his hidden gaze.
He hummed softly.
"Thank you."
These three words fell into his ears along with the sound of fireworks.
Shen Xichuan heard it and was stunned for a few seconds, “Thank you for what?”
Xu Jialan tilted his head to look at him, his bright eyes slightly curved, and his cold face seemed to have been dispelled by the fireworks.
"A lot."
She withdrew her gaze and continued to look at the fireworks in the distance.
"Thank you for appearing by my side that day."
Hearing this, Shen Xichuan knew that she was talking about that day.
The corners of his mouth curled up and he looked into the distance, "Yeah."
The girl paused for a long moment before continuing, "That day was the darkest day of my life."
Shen Xichuan's eyebrows moved slightly, and he turned his head to look at her profile.
"I'm serious," she said. "On that incredibly ordinary day, I was all alone in this world. I didn't have my mom, and later, my dad too."
She spoke in a soft voice.
Even under the deafening sound of fireworks, it clearly penetrated Shen Xichuan’s ears.
He tightened his grip on the railing.
"If you hadn't shown up and stayed with me the whole time, I don't know how I would have gotten through that day."
Xu Jialan said softly, "This semester, you came to accompany me to school every day. Whether it was in school or on the way home from school, you were with me. I am really grateful to you."
"And at this time, you asked me to come out and watch the fireworks."
Shen Xichuan's eyelashes drooped slightly, covering the look in his eyes, and it was unknown what he was thinking.
"so……"
Xu Jialan paused and turned to look at the boy next to him.
She spoke each word with a serious tone, "You are a very, very important friend to me."
Shen Xichuan's Adam's apple rolled, and his eyes darkened.
He stared at the girl for a long time.
There is not a trace of impurities in the clear eyes.
He knew that the little girl was probably not good at love.
Friends, huh?
OK.
After a few seconds, he chuckled, turned his head, and looked at her, "Okay, then I'll rely on my little deskmate, you can't escape."
Xu Jialan, you can't escape.
If, he can retire safely.
If she doesn't have someone she likes yet.
Then, he would definitely seize every opportunity to hold her hand tightly.
Xu Jialan also smiled, "Of course."
The two stood side by side in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and the grand fireworks show became a backdrop for their backs.
At this moment, time reaches eternity.
…
After the winter vacation, Shen Xichuan started to get busy.
In addition to his usual class time, he is doing some physical training.
It is also to join the fire rescue team in two years.
After school on Friday, Xu Jialan packed her schoolbag and followed the boy out of the classroom.
She looked at the boy next to her, "Are you going to training today?"
Shen Xichuan bought two cans of Coke in the convenience store, unscrewed them, and handed her one.
He raised his head and took a sip, "I won't go today, I'll go tomorrow."
Xu Jialan said "oh" and lowered his head to drink the Coke in small sips.
"Let's go, I'll take you home."
…
Xu Jialan hesitated all the way, and finally before going upstairs, he couldn't help but ask, "Shen Xichuan, you..."
Hearing the sound, the boy stopped and looked at her, "What?"
"Where are you training tomorrow?"
Hearing this, Shen Xichuan raised his beautiful eyebrows, “What’s the matter? Do you want to go and see it first?”
Xu Jialan was stunned for a moment, "Can I?"
"No problem." The boy said lazily, "But aren't you going to your master's place this weekend?"
"Before, my master only took me to understand the procedures in the laboratory. Now I am familiar with it, so I don't need to go for the time being." Xu Jialan said.
Shen Xichuan didn't ask any more questions and nodded, "Okay, then I'll pick you up tomorrow."
Xu Jialan breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "Okay."
The boy stood under the street light, his shadow stretched out long. The warm yellow light softened the sharp outlines of his face, making him look a little gentler.
"If you have unfinished homework tomorrow, you can bring it with you."
Xu Jialan looked at him with crooked eyes, "If I encounter something I don't know, will you explain it to me?"
Shen Xichuan was stunned for half a second, and there seemed to be a flash of disbelief and surprise in his eyes.
It's about her attitude when she's with him.
It seemed that after returning from the winter vacation, she became more relaxed than before, and seemed to unconsciously feel more comfortable in front of him than before.
And there is a little willfulness that she herself has not even discovered.
He then chuckled and said, "Okay, if you don't understand anything, just ask me. I'm always here to answer your questions."
When Xu Jialan saw the smile on his face, his face couldn't help but feel hot.
She looked away in a panic, "Then I'll go up first, and you should go home early."
The boy hummed softly.
But he stood there without moving.
Xu Jialan licked his lips, turned around and walked into the building.
Shen Xichuan raised his eyes and looked at the building steadily.
After a while, he withdrew his gaze, turned around casually, and left the community.
…
the next day.
Xu Jialan didn't sleep in.
She set the alarm.
She woke up from her dream the moment the alarm rang.
After turning off the alarm, she saw the message sent to her by Shen Xichuan.
He said he would bring breakfast.
Xu Jialan's eyes couldn't help but curve, he replied to his message and got up to wash up.
As soon as she finished packing, Shen Xichuan was already downstairs.
After going downstairs, the boy handed her breakfast and his eyes stayed on her face for a few seconds. "You got up so early? Aren't you sleepy?"
Xu Jialan took a sip of the hot soy milk and shook his head, "I'm not sleepy, I'm used to it."
How could there still be such a thing as sleeping in since I entered high school?
Except for the long holidays.
Shen Xichuan nodded, “Then let’s go.”
"Is that place far away?" Xu Jialan asked curiously.
Shen Xichuan lowered his eyes and pressed the phone. When he heard her voice, he raised his head and glanced at her, then hummed, "It shouldn't count."
Eh?
Xu Jialan looked at him puzzledly.
Ten minutes later.
Xu Jialan stood in the training room, less than a kilometer away from her home, and fell into silence.
Shen Xichuan opened the door, turned on the air conditioner, and smiled after seeing her reaction.
"I rented this place. My parents don't even know about my physical training."
He raised his foot, walked over, stopped in front of her, and said lazily, "So, little deskmate, do me a favor."
Xu Jialan came back to his senses and looked at him, "How can I help?"
The boy curled his lips and glanced sideways at the empty training room. "Just...don't tell anyone. Let's just treat this as our secret base. How about that?"
