"midsummer!"
While she was still there, someone called her.
It was Xin Xiaohe, who was walking down the corridor carrying the pole of the "big windmill". There were several girls following her, all of them were sweating profusely.
"What are you doing here?" Xin Xiaohe walked closer and asked.
"Call home." Shengxia said.
Xin Xiaohe handed the pole to her classmate, and after everyone left, she asked, "What's wrong? Are you okay? You don't look well."
Is it that obvious?
Shengxia held the phone tightly, and suddenly an idea came to her mind. She asked, "Xiaohe, can I leave my dress and other things in your dormitory for the time being?"
Xin Xiaohe was slightly surprised, but didn't ask any more questions. She nodded and said, "Of course you can! Take it now?"
Shengxia looked at the time. It was already past eleven o'clock. "Okay, thank you."
"Are you always so polite?" Xin Xiaohe pretended to grab Shengxia's shoulders, then looked at her sweaty body and smiled awkwardly, "Let's go!"
They went back to the classroom to get the gift boxes, but Shengxia's seat was surrounded by people.
To be precise, they were surrounding Zhang Shu's seat.
A group of boys were talking about the upcoming NBA regular season, who is optimistic about whom, which team has changed coaches, which team is losing momentum, new stars are born, how will the Chinese players perform...
Xin Xiaohe joined the discussion bravely, Shengxia stood outside the crowd with a bewildered look on her face, if it was for the sake of brotherhood, could all the sisters be abandoned?
Hou Junqi was the first to notice Shengxia, and patted the boy who was occupying Shengxia's seat, "Get out of the way, the goddess is here."
Everyone turned around.
Zhang Shu also turned his head, met the girl's flickering eyes, and then looked away.
When will she take off her make-up?
The eyes are so big and watery, as if they can swim.
"Yeah, you're tired of living if you dare to sit in the goddess' seat, get up quickly, hahaha!"
"My fault, my fault!"
"Why don't the pinball team first try to see which goddess on the confession wall wins?"
Every time a large-scale event is over, the campus love wall app becomes very popular. It is no longer a tree hole, but just for fun. Most of the top students on campus are born here.
"I've just seen a lot of midsummer posts!"
"Where's Chen Mengyao?"
"Well, that's a lot..."
"Open and count quickly!"
A group of people were making a lot of noise and even cleared a path for them. Shengxia was stuck in a dilemma. How could he just sit back and let others laugh at him?
Moreover, she and Zhang Shu were the only ones sitting in the middle, with a group of people standing around them. The scene looked weird no matter how you looked at it...
Shengxia patted Xin Xiaohe: "Xiaohe, are we leaving now?"
Xin Xiaohe obviously also realized that Shengxia was not adapting well at the moment.
"Oh, okay, let's go!"
Hou Junqi asked: "Where are you going?"
Xin Xiaohe said unhappily, "Girls' dormitory, are you going?"
Hou Junqi: "...Please do as you please."
Shengxia bent down, preparing to pick up the gift box from the bookcase between the seats, when an arm reached out, "Do you need help?"
A midsummer action.
After revealing his little thoughts, it seemed that his voice carried a certain magnetic field that disturbed people.
As we got closer, the scent of green grass basking in the sun filled our nostrils again.
My heartbeat is out of rhythm in midsummer.
She picked up the gift box and replied, "No, thank you."
Zhang Shu frowned slightly. The tone of these two sentences was no different from his usual tone, but he always felt that something was wrong.
For example, she didn't even look at him.
For some unknown reason, he asked, "Then I'll wait for you to have dinner together?"
It was quiet.
The people who were noisy just now all looked at each other in bewilderment.
Although everyone knew that Shengxia was taking care of Zhang Shu's relatives during lunch break, she would often have meals with Zhang Shu and Hou Junqi.
But what is that crackling electric light in the air?
Bang, bang, bang.
In the midsummer, I can hear my own heartbeat, occupying a corner in the silence, like boiling alcohol.
She had only one thought: get away as quickly as possible without letting anyone hear her.
Why did he suddenly send out the "invitation" in public? Didn't he hear those rumors?
Maybe he heard it, he just——
Just chatting.
She heard a faint voice in her heart.
"No, Xiaohe and I will have lunch in the cafeteria." She replied, then turned around and left first.
Xin Xiaohe hurried to catch up, confused: ...? I didn't say that just now?
The two girls left the classroom, and everyone wanted to gossip, but no one started the conversation. They just laughed and made faces.
"Go ahead, have some food." Zhang Shu stood up and sent everyone away.
"Hey, Ah Shu, who are you going to choose?"
Finally, someone couldn't help but ask.
Zhang Shu lowered his head to pack his schoolbag. Just when Hou Junqi thought he was going to answer "boring" again, Zhang Shu spoke in a light voice: "Do you still need to ask? Choose Yi Jianlian."
"Who asked you Yi Jianlian?"
Zhang Shu hung his schoolbag over his shoulder and smiled, "Let's go."
"It's boring!"
"Oh! That's not fun!"
Hou Junqi's eyes rolled around, as if he had figured something out. He suddenly slammed the table and said to the disappointed crowd, "Don't you understand? Choose your own people, idiots!"
Then he followed Zhang Shu triumphantly.
After the opening ceremony, there was nothing to do for the senior students. They went to class as usual, but they could always hear screams coming from the playground. There were also always groups of freshmen and sophomores passing by the teaching building, shouting and making a lot of noise.
The most outrageous thing was that a junior student went to Class 6 specifically to watch Shengxia.
A few teenagers were lying at the door of Class 6, looking inside, with an expression that said, "As long as I'm not embarrassed, you're the ones who are embarrassed."
Seeing Shengxia, one of them shouted, "Senior, can you add me on QQ?"
Shengxia lowered his head and said nothing.
This kind of situation has never happened in No. 2 Middle School. Are all the top students so lively (shameless)?
Hou Junqi stood up, stood in front, and put his hands on his hips: "Didn't I tell you that you are my senior? How dare you shout at me like that?"
The junior students smiled and were not afraid, and asked back: "Is this senior sister yours, senior?"
Hou Junqi was speechless, "Then, that must not be the case."
"What does that have to do with you? You're not the 'Dangal Pikachu', are you?"
"You little bastards!" Hou Junqi rolled up a book and threw it at them. The teenagers hid happily but didn't leave.
The whole class burst into laughter.
"Shengxia, the teacher is calling you."
Suddenly, a pleasant male voice came from the back door of the classroom, and everyone looked over.
It's Zhang Shu.
He had just come down from Wang Wei's office and his demeanor was not very friendly.
For unknown reasons, those junior students became quiet.
Hou Junqi was also stunned. When did Ah Shu start calling Lao Wang "teacher"?
"Hmm? Oh." Shengxia was confused. Why did the teacher want to see her? Did the teacher hear some rumors about her?
She sighed and stood up nervously.
When she passed by Zhang Shu, she heard him leaning over and whispering in her ear: "The teacher didn't call you. Wait for me in the washroom."
The footsteps of midsummer pause briefly.
He, what is he saying?
What is he doing again?
Just now those junior students were making a fuss, but now almost all the eyes of the class were on her, and he was whispering to her in full view of everyone.
So close...
Shengxia's ears were burning, and he didn't have the energy to observe the expressions of his classmates. He quickly walked out of the classroom and almost ran upstairs.
In the classroom, everyone looked at each other teasingly.
Zhang Shu had an expressionless face. He picked up the water cup, then picked up Shengxia's cup from her desk, walked out of the classroom and went towards the water room.
He ignored the curious and provocative looks of his junior classmates the whole time.
What does it mean?
He is getting water for Shengxia.
Those younger classmates also understood it, so it turned out that the senior sister was really their senior’s?
In the middle of summer, I walked around the second floor and returned to the bathroom on the first floor.
There was no one in the bathroom at that moment, and she stood there in a daze.
The thin knuckles swung in front of her, and the boy's joking voice came, "Can't you handle overnight fame?"
Shengxia raised her eyes and saw Zhang Shu standing in front of her, with his head tilted, his eyebrows raised, and his eyes bright.
His eyes are not actually that big, but rather long and narrow, which makes him look sharp at first glance. However, because he has a pair of beautiful lips, the sharpness is neutralized and he looks a bit more youthful. When he smiles, the right corner of his mouth twitches more, making him look a bit ruffian yet nonchalant.
In the midsummer, I have never seen two contradictory feelings complement each other so well on the same face.
It can be active or quiet, dignified or youthful.
He is Nuwa's favorite.
"It's not as good as you are used to." Shengxia replied.
This tone, filled with anger, was unprecedented.
Zhang Shu raised his brows and tilted his head to observe her, his eyes teasing and judging.
Only when I got so close did I realize that her eyelashes were long and thick, but not black, more like brown, soft and fluffy, and not very curled, covering her entire eye.
No wonder once she puts on makeup, her eyelashes look so bright.
However, I heard that people with straight eyelashes have bad tempers, so why isn't she one of them? Or is she hiding it?
Zhang Shu lowered his head and asked, "Are you... losing your temper?"
Shengxia didn't answer, but frowned, then she noticed the cup in his hand.
She raised her eyes again, "What are you doing with my cup?"
Zhang Shu turned around, opened the tap, and filled the water in a few gulps. He picked it up and took a look at it, then said with a smile, "Your cup looks good but is not practical. It looks big, but it only holds this much?"
No wonder she runs outside during every break.
His topic was too off topic, and Shengxia answered unconsciously: "Because it is hollow, it needs to be insulated."
"Oh——" He drew out the word, with an expression that said, "So that's how it is," and a smile on his face.
It seems to be saying "How could I not know?"
Shengxia just realized that she was being teased, and she didn't want to "show a shy expression" to satisfy his bad taste, but he had just rescued her, so she couldn't show any expression.
She sighed and said no more. Her mind was in a mess. Before she could sort it out, someone came into the bathroom talking and laughing.
When several girls saw Zhang Shu and Sheng Xia, they all stopped at the same time, looking between the two of them, hesitating whether to go in.
They were just standing opposite each other, but why was the magnetic field so unusual?
Shengxia snatched her cup from Zhang Shu's hand, lowered her head and quickly walked out of the bathroom.
Like fleeing in panic.
Zhang Shu was startled, looked at his empty hands, and laughed.
Several girls looked at each other with interest in their eyes.
When Shengxia returned to the classroom, those younger classmates had already left. Her classmates saw her holding a cup of water and smiled at each other knowingly.
Shengxia sat back in her seat without looking away, stared at the blackboard for a few seconds, then took out a notebook and read it quietly.
If you ignore her slightly red ears, her state can almost be described as isolated from the world - immersed in her own world, as if all sights have nothing to do with her.
Hou Junqi felt that the little girl was not normal, but he could not tell what was wrong. When Zhang Shu came back, Hou Junqi stared at her with a look on his face that said "What's going on?"
Zhang Shu ignored him and looked at Shengxia with his cheek puckered up.
She was looking at her study notes, which were filled with good words and sentences, as well as poems.
What did she say before?
——Reading poetry can relieve summer heat.
She, is hot?
There is no autumn in Nanli, winter almost came overnight. Although it is already the autumn season now, there is no autumn color at all. The weather in November still feels like summer.
However, the temperature is not as high as in August and September, and the occasional cool breeze can be considered refreshing.
So her fever was certainly not the weather's fault.
That was his fault.
I just said she became famous overnight. Was that a joke?
At that moment, she turned the page, wrote something in the blank space, then closed her notebook and took out her book to prepare for class.
The bell rang, and Zhang Shu took out a book from the drawer. His body leaned towards Shengxia because of the action. The girl was like a frightened bird, and she suddenly shrank her body and moved away from him.
Because her elbow suddenly pulled away, she dropped her study notes.
Zhang Shu stopped moving, a little confused...
What's going on? He has the plague and no one can get close to him?
Seeing the word "resistance" written all over the girl's face, Zhang Shu's face darkened, and he picked up her notes.
The notebook was folded open, and Zhang Shu saw the words she had just written.
Two large lines of words occupy the center of a page.
Not like a note, more like a self-warning——
Let the idle gossips run rampant, what does it matter if the lip guns are abandoned?
How can dust and mud melt my pure heart? I am free and I sing.
