When Chen Bing returned to the classroom, Shang Yunmiao couldn't help but glance at him worriedly. She only vaguely knew that another girl had confessed her feelings to Chen Bing, but she didn't know the specifics.
Although I believe Chen Bing will not accept it lightly, as he has always done, I still want to hear what he has to say in person.
However, the school bell had already rung, and she couldn't very well turn around and ask at that moment. Shang Yunmiao could only suppress her worries and think about asking the other person after school.
A short self-study session of thirty or forty minutes passed quickly. After the bell rang, Chen Bing, who was exempt from evening self-study during the winter, packed her schoolbag and waited for Shang Yunmiao to leave together.
Xiao Shang, who had something on her mind to ask, didn't keep Chen Bing waiting for long. In no time, she packed her schoolbag and then followed Chen Bing upstairs to the Chinese language office, intending to find her mother and go home together.
On the way, Shang Yunmiao wore her red scarf, hiding the red dots on her cheeks. Also hidden under the scarf was her hesitant little mouth. The girl wanted to ask about confessing her feelings several times, but because there were many people coming and going on the road, she was too shy to speak.
After dragging it out for a while, Xiao Shang finally decided to ask again when she got home.
But right after she made that decision, an unexpected little thing changed her mind.
It turned out that on their way to the office, the two bumped into a group of girls. Shang Yunmiao didn't recognize them, but Chen Bing did.
Coincidentally, three or four of them had asked Chen Bing for his contact information just an hour earlier.
Upon seeing Chen Bing, the girls were slightly taken aback at first, and then jokingly said a lot of things to one of them.
Their voices weren't too quiet, and Chen Bing overheard a few of them. Things like, "Go ahead, they want you to go ask for it yourself," and "Your crush is right here, don't be shy," and other similar joking remarks.
Curious, Chen Bing glanced at the girl being talked about, only to see that she had her head down, covered her face, and showed no intention of looking in his direction.
Although her face cannot be seen, the girl has a good figure, and the exposed skin suggests that she is probably beautiful.
It goes without saying that this must be the female classmate who wanted my contact information.
After glancing at her curiously, Chen Bing stopped paying attention to her and walked over with Shang Yunmiao without stopping.
Chen Bing wasn't the only one with eyes; Shang Yunmiao also witnessed the scene up close.
At that moment, her little mind was filled with only doubt and vigilance.
Having roughly guessed what was going on, Shang Yunmiao could no longer contain her thoughts. Ignoring the people coming and going, she tugged at Chen Bing's sleeve and asked him, "Chen Bing, do you know those girls from just now?"
Even if Shang Yunmiao hadn't asked, Chen Bing was prepared to explain. He used a concise explanation to recount the events of an hour ago, including his inner thoughts, to Shang Yunmiao.
Hearing Chen Bing's reply to the girl, Shang Yunmiao breathed a sigh of relief.
It's good that she refused, it's good that she refused. She had just seen how those girls acted and wondered what Chen Bing had said back then.
It turns out those people were just joking. Judging from the girl's timid and shy behavior, Shang Yunmiao figured she wouldn't have the guts to come in person. This confession incident was no different from any other.
Yes, no one can shake my position.
Having resolved a worry, Shang Yunmiao felt much lighter and happier, and a smile appeared on her face. She was so happy that she even ate an extra bowl of rice for dinner that evening.
However, she was too pleased with herself to expect that during the morning break the next day, that girl would actually come to Chen Bing to ask for her contact information, right in front of her!
At around 9:40 a.m. on December 12th, it was a break between classes that Shang Yunmiao would never forget for many years to come.
then……
Because the area north of the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River in China, which is traditionally considered northern China, is at a relatively high latitude, it receives less solar radiation. At the same time, it is close to the source of winter winds and is greatly affected by cold air, with cold waves often moving southward and further lowering the temperature.
In addition, the area is mostly plains or plateaus, lacking the mountain barriers that provide insulation found in the south. Far from the ocean, it lacks the influence of warm, humid air currents from the southeast, resulting in dry air and lower temperatures.
Therefore, the weather in Shandong Province in December is naturally cold and dry.
"Stop reading, it's snowing outside. Come on, let's go see it."
Just as Shang Yunmiao was taking advantage of the break between classes to diligently review her geography knowledge, Chen Bing patted her on the shoulder, wanting the young girl to accompany him to see the snow.
Bribed by a cup of warm Assam tea, Shang Yunmiao wrapped her scarf around her neck, put down her textbook, and followed Chen Bing out of the classroom.
On the way, Chen Bing deliberately touched Shang Yunmiao's little hand. This wasn't about taking advantage or groping her; Chen Bing simply wanted to check if Shang Yunmiao's hand was warm. With this little girl, there was no question of him taking advantage of her.
Unfortunately, Xiao Shang didn't understand Chen Bing's good intentions. She immediately patted Chen Bing's hand and moved a quarter of her body away.
Holding hands is fine at home, or in a secluded place. But right now, they're right outside the classroom, with many classmates coming and going to see the snow. This is a matter of principle, Shang Yunmiao's bottom line. Naturally, she can't let Chen Bing touch her hand so casually; otherwise, what will happen in the future?
In order to keep warm, most school buildings in the north adopt an enclosed structure. However, due to the need for lighting, large glass windows are usually left.
To better experience the first snow of the year, the boys in the class stretched out their arms and, working together in twos and threes, opened the tall, large glass window.
They then stretched out their hands, feeling the coolness of a snowflake or two falling into their palms and quickly melting away. The hearts of the young boy and girl couldn't help but warm up.
Because Shang Yunmiao was sensitive to the cold, Chen Bing took the initiative to lead her to the side to get away from the noisy crowd and the cold wind blowing in through the window.
Seeing that Xiao Shang still seemed a little cold, Chen Bing opened her arms and teased her, "If you're cold, you can snuggle into my arms."
Shang Yunmiao wouldn't actually drill, would she? She glanced at Chen Bing shyly, then looked away and silently gazed outside. Chen Bing chuckled twice, then also turned her head away.
The first snowfall under the rolling dark clouds was not particularly grand; instead, the thick, cloud-covered sky made the outside world appear rather gloomy.
At around nine o'clock, when the sun should have been shining brightly, the windows of the teaching building were faintly reflected by the lights inside.
The slightly dirty glass reflected Shang Yunmiao's cute face, and Chen Bing's attention couldn't help but shift from the snowflakes to that face.
The pale wall tiles, the falling snowflakes. The girl's fiery red scarf, her cloud-white cheeks, her jet-black hair draped lazily over her shoulders, and her large, bright eyes—all these elements, reminiscent of ancient Chinese paintings depicting the beauty of a snow-covered countryside in its first snowfall, left a deep impression on Chen Bing at this moment.
Beautiful moments can last forever in our hearts, but reality is cruel.
On the wall tiles that were supposed to serve as a backdrop to highlight the girl, several ordinary shapes suddenly appeared.
Chen Bing frowned, feeling quite annoyed by these uninvited guests who had come specifically to find him.
He turned his head away coldly, and the group of girls standing behind him, fidgeting, were the same girls he had encountered twice yesterday afternoon.
