After they returned home, Chen Bing felt slightly guilty about what she had done. She was washing up… well, never mind, she wouldn't wash her mouth today.
In short, after finishing all the chores before bed, Chen Bing crawled into bed as soon as possible, forcing herself not to think about anything, to go to sleep early, and to forget all her worries, shame, and unease.
The more you try not to think about something, the harder it is to forget it.
That night, Chen Bing tossed and turned, his mind filled with Xiao Shang's incredibly soft lips and shy face. He couldn't fall asleep for a long time, constantly thinking about these things.
Meanwhile, in Shang Yunmiao's bedroom, the girl was bent over her desk, piecing together the strips of paper she had just torn up, using the soft light of the desk lamp.
After about ten or twenty minutes, the paper was finally pieced together.
Although it looked tattered, Shang Yunmiao still smiled wistfully at the note.
With a flushed face, Shang Yunmiao read the words over and over again before carefully placing the pieced-together paper strip into a sealed box.
This box is incredible; it contains many important things. For example, the love letters Chen Bing gave her, the glue stick she stole from Chen Bing back then, and other things that are hard to describe.
As a new member, Mr. Torn Paper joins the group and also becomes part of Shang Yunmiao's memories.
...
Nearly a month has passed since that heart-fluttering night.
During this period, Shang Yunmiao either came to her senses or was successfully threatened by him, in any case, she no longer resisted getting close to him.
Things like going to the office together to deliver homework, sitting together to discuss problems, and wandering around during breaks... these gradually became commonplace occurrences.
However, the normalization of doing things together does not mean that you can kiss casually.
In fact, since starting junior high school, Chen Bing has had very few opportunities to kiss Shang Yunmiao. Or rather, the number of times she has kissed that cute face has always been very small.
Needless to say, there were practically no kisses during the one or two years of junior high. In the six years of elementary school, there were only about ten kisses in total, and six of them were on the day of the elementary school graduation photo.
The period before kindergarten was even shorter than junior high school, because they were still young then. Although Xiao Shang was very willing to be close to her, Chen Bing, who still had some sense of shame, was too shy to kiss her. After all, it was too advanced for the two of them at the time.
Of course, the kisses here only refer to kisses on the cheek or forehead.
In short, although the two bit each other's lips a month ago, the nature of that kiss was more likely to be defined as "teasing," "intimacy," "joke," or "eating," rather than a kiss in the normal development stage of a couple.
In other words, life went on as usual, and Chen Bing and Chen Bing tacitly pretended that nothing had happened regarding their first kiss that night.
However, when my gaze falls on the other person's lips, I can't help but think of them and feel a little strange.
For example, today, after Chen Bing unconsciously reminded Shang Yunmiao that there were cookie crumbs on her lips, the two of them fell into this strange situation together.
"Brother Long, let's go! The teacher wants us to collect leave slips!"
"They're here! They're here!"
Outside the classroom, Cai Kunnan called out to Ma Shaolong in the back row through the glass. Ma Shaolong immediately stood up and ran out excitedly.
So excited was he that he bumped his head hard on the table as he stood up, making him wince. But he didn't seem to care much, and limped out of the classroom, clutching the spot where he'd been hit.
The other students in the class couldn't help but laugh when they saw this funny scene.
Chen Bing also took this opportunity to snap out of her daze, and with a smile, she teased Shang Yunmiao about Ma Shaolong and chatted about the kid's gossip.
It turns out that since entering the second year of junior high school, Ma Shaolong has gradually regained the enthusiasm he had when pursuing Zhang Xinyu. However, this time, he didn't set his sights on the girls in his class, but instead set his sights on a first-year junior high school girl.
In order to find a girlfriend among the female students, Ma Shaolong would take the boys in his class to play basketball under the scorching sun whenever he had free time during the first year of junior high school military training, all in order to get the female students to notice him, the handsome young man.
Although his movements are somewhat exaggerated and comical when he plays, he still has solid skills.
However, he didn't know if the female student attracted him, but the male student often came to play ball with them.
Originally, Ma Shaolong thought that with the addition of first-year junior high boys, the girls would pay more attention to this area. Besides, if he could easily defeat the first-year boys, wouldn't that further highlight his strength?
His idea was good, and his classmates were very cooperative, often passing him the ball. But the problem was that these first-year junior high students played too aggressively.
Despite being a year behind him in development and being much shorter, they still managed to completely overwhelm Ma Shaolong's team with their superior ball skills.
That makes sense. If you didn't have some skill, who would have the courage to come and play ball with a second-year junior high student?
When one plan failed, Ma Shaolong tried another. During break time, he went to the school gate and spent a fortune (a full fifty yuan, a real drain on his wallet) to buy two large bags of ice cream. Then, under the pretext of thanking the students for playing ball with him, he gave them the ice cream to eat.
Of course, giving food to the boys was just a pretext; what Ma Shaolong really wanted to give to was the girls in the boys' class.
He had already asked around and found out that the boys playing ball with them were all from Class 1 of Grade 7, and there were several girls he liked in that class.
So, he used this roundabout way to win over these girls.
That wasn't all. After showcasing his athletic prowess, social skills, and generosity, Ma Shaolong also wanted to establish himself as a charming and sophisticated figure among the female students.
To achieve this, one naturally needs to be involved in various school activities and work. He naturally thought of the routine commendation ceremony after military training.
According to the old practice of Baishi No.1 Middle School, at the military training commendation meeting, not only should there be a speech by a freshman representative, but also a welcome speech by an upperclassman.
Seizing this opportunity, Ma Shaolong shamelessly approached Fang Anmin and expressed his desire to do it.
Fang Anmin certainly wouldn't agree so easily. Even if he could decide on the spot, he wouldn't want Ma Shaolong to go up.
Left with no other choice, Lao Ma had to settle for second best and come up with another idea.
I remember that the dormitory management at Baishi No.1 Middle School was quite strict. Every night, a rotating homeroom teacher would stay overnight to manage discipline and such.
And our teacher, Fang Anmin, is also responsible for this job. As the director of the school's political education department and the head teacher of the science and technology class, he naturally has a part in this work as well.
Thursday nights are his shifts.
