This is a rather sad topic, but for children who haven't even finished sixth grade and recently celebrated their last Children's Day, this sadness comes and goes quickly. In no time at all, everyone was laughing and joking again, continuing their conversation as usual.
However, there was one exception.
"Liu Yuan? What's wrong? Why are you looking so gloomy and not saying anything?"
"Huh? Oh, I was just spacing out. I remembered I forgot to sign in for today's event in my Rock Kingdom game." Liu Yuan raised his head and responded to his concerned friend. After pretending to joke around with everyone for a bit, he lowered his head again and remained silent.
In a corner where no one was paying attention, Liu Yuan glanced at Ma Lele, who was sitting diagonally opposite him, chatting with others.
As if she could feel his burning gaze, Ma Lele suddenly turned her head and glanced at him.
This sudden turn of events startled Liu Yuan. He quickly turned his head to the side, pretending nothing had happened. A few seconds later, feeling safe, he turned his head back again.
This time, all he could see was Ma Lele's high ponytail. She was laughing and joking with the girl next to her, her slender ponytail twirling in the air.
The act of delivering the love letter in fourth grade may have exhausted all his courage. Even this little boy, who firmly believed in fairy tales, gradually lost the ability to be brave again amidst the ridicule from his classmates.
He didn't even dare to admit his true feelings anymore. Whenever others used his previous confession to mock him, he could only pretend to be "young and reckless" and shake his head and wave his hand to deny his feelings.
Over time, everyone gradually forgot about what had happened, just as he forgot what he had done. He continued to joke and play around with his friends every day, only occasionally glancing at Ma Lele as if it were an accident.
For him, this was good enough. There was no teasing from others, and no other troubles. As long as he could see that high ponytail spinning twice in the air every day, that was enough.
However, today's conversation with his friend cruelly shattered his illusions, making him realize that time will continue to move forward, and everything will change. In the near future, he may never see that ponytail in his heart again.
So... I want to continue attending the same school and being in the same class as you...
After stealing another glance at Ma Lele's back, Liu Yuan was caught in a mental struggle.
His idea was good, but his grades were a major weakness.
Unlike Ma Lele, who consistently ranked in the top five or three of his class, he could only rank in the middle to upper range.
Therefore, if the other party chooses to go to Experimental High School No. 1, he will not be able to pass the exam no matter what.
To be honest, I don't even know where she wants to go to school.
Liu Yuan took out the yearbook he had bought that morning from his desk drawer. It was already filled with information for many people, but Ma Lele's was the only one missing.
Because he currently holds the card that belongs exclusively to Ma Lele.
This yearbook is different from the others. Zhang Yuan crossed out the email address with a ballpoint pen and then wrote "My future junior high school" by hand, imitating the style of the text above.
Despite his many attempts and practice of the handwriting on the yearbook, it still showed obvious signs of alteration no matter how he looked at it.
Giving this to Ma Lele would require a lot of courage, and Liu Yuanzheng lacked that courage. He had originally fantasized that when Ma Lele brought him her own yearbook to write in, he would then casually give her this one.
To realize his fantasy, he even put the paper in the bookend's inner compartment so that he could exchange it immediately.
But man proposes, God disposes; unexpectedly, Ma Lele had no intention of buying the yearbook at all.
Now, as graduation approaches, he is becoming increasingly anxious.
Unrequited love is a personal battleground...
Liu Yuan lived through the chaos of war, struggling with his own dilemmas day by day.
Finally, five days later, on the day of the graduation photo shoot and three days before the final exams, Liu Yuan made a cowardly decision.
"So, you mean you want me to take this to Ma Lele for you?" Chen Bing stared wide-eyed at Liu Yuan, looking utterly incredulous.
"Hmm! Hmm!" Liu Yuan thought about it. Since he didn't have the guts himself, why not ask someone else for help? Brother Bing was a good person, trustworthy, and very charming. He was popular with both boys and girls. If he asked Ma Lele to fill out the yearbook, she would definitely fill it out very carefully.
As for whether he was worried about being told everything by Chen Bing or being ridiculed by her, he should tell her everything.
Please, this is Brother Bing! Even if everyone else laughs at me, Brother Bing wouldn't do this. Back then... never mind, let's not dwell on the past.
In short, Liu Yuan had complete faith in Chen Bing's character.
"If you want me to deliver it, that's fine. But... is that really a good idea? Don't you feel regretful? You're the one who wants to know, you want to go to the same school as Ma Lele, and you like Ma Lele. Is it really okay to have someone else bring your yearbook to her?"
At least I, Chen Bing, the God of War, would be the first to disagree.
After hearing Chen Bing's words, Liu Yuan opened his mouth slightly.
"But... it's just using Brother Bing's name to send her a yearbook."
"Can you 'borrow' my name to be in the same class as her in the future? 'Borrow' my name to confess to her? 'Borrow' my name to date her? Everything has a beginning, but few things have an end. If you need others to take the first step for you, you are destined not to go far in the future."
After patting Liu Yuan on the shoulder, Chen Bing smiled and handed the yearbook in her hand to him again.
"Think carefully before you answer. You only have one chance, just like confessing your feelings."
"I..." Liu Yuan looked down at the blue letter in his hand, as if he could see Ma Lele's blue hair tie, swaying and shining in his memory.
He recalled the sadness he felt a year ago when he saw Ma Lele walking home with a boy from another class at the school gate, and then he remembered her sweet smile when she gave him a band-aid in third grade.
A moment later, Liu Yuan raised his head with a determined look in his eyes.
"I understand! Brother Bing!"
After saying that, Liu Yuan turned around and ran away as fast as he could.
His steps became more and more determined, and he finally ran out of 2017, his own June (Liu Yuan).
