Chapter 11 The biggest chapter of the movie.
Bo Xia scrolled through the pages, repeatedly checking whether he had seen it correctly, and his depressed mood immediately improved.
After a while, she thought, should she say something to him?
The girl opened the chat box, typed and deleted repeatedly, but in the end she couldn't send it. She really hoped that the other party would ask her why she added him, even though she hadn't thought of an excuse yet.
But obviously Jin Yunyan had no such intention. After all, Bo Xia added him from the group chat, and he knew that she was a classmate.
Bo Xia didn't dare to click into his profile, fearing it would be too obvious to leave a visitor log. She pretended to be browsing his feed, then clicked into his profile and saw the ugly photo he'd posted of Zhou Suiye. Zhou Suiye scolded him in the comments, and the two of them started to playfully argue.
Boys of that age are inevitably childish. Zhou Suiye angrily left a message: "Wait until your dad comes back to school and fuck you."
Jin Yunyan replied to him: "You can come over now to sort out the generations."
The conversation is both funny and childish, and the text makes it easy to imagine the expressions of the parties involved.
She looked at it for a while and finally gave a thumbs up.
Bo Xia was not a person who liked playing with mobile phones, but that day he played with his phone over and over for a long time, repeatedly studying his profile picture and personal information.
The weather is getting colder and nights are falling earlier and earlier.
Her mother called her out for dinner, and she finally left her bedroom. The same few dishes were always on the table. She ate one bowl and was about to return to her room to study for her midterm exam when she heard her mother say, "If you have time later, help your sister with her studies. Her grades are so poor."
The girl paused holding the chopsticks. Actually, she had tried to tutor him before, but Bo Yi never obeyed discipline, so she could never teach him well.
Of course, she will never get the respect that an older sister should have from her younger sister. After all, her parents have told her since she was a child that her older sister should give in to her and she can do whatever she wants.
It is said that human nature is good, but children are the best at observing people's words and expressions and deciding how to act based on their behavior. Over time, they will develop the habit of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.
Bo Xia didn't want to make herself unhappy, so she made an excuse: "The midterm exam is coming soon, I don't have much time."
She clenched her chopsticks, knowing she was about to be scolded, but that was better than enduring Bo Yi's anger later. However, the expected scolding didn't come. Instead, her usually silent father spoke up: "Her studies are more important. As for Xiaoyi, just enroll her in a tutoring class."
Bo Xia lowered her eyes. When she had good grades, her family was reluctant to enroll her in tutoring classes. But when it came to her younger sister, they immediately became generous.
But she has always been silent and patient, and it is those who do not fight or compete, are sensible, and like to be considerate of others who are most likely to end up with nothing.
She didn't express any opinion, just dealt with it casually and went back to her room to study.
For students at Nan'an Middle School, exams are commonplace and everyone is used to it.
The questions this time were a little difficult, and Bo Xia had a bad feeling in his heart, but after finishing them, he didn't take it too seriously.
Everyone still had half a day of classes before the holiday. The math teacher had something urgent to do, so he asked a few people to help him mark the multiple-choice questions on the midterm exam.
Bo Xia's name was called. She was still worried about the tutorial book she hadn't finished, but she didn't say anything until she heard Jin Yunyan's name again.
She was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt that such a small thing also had a sense of happiness.
This is what secret love is like. To her, those insignificant details on his part are everything to her, and even the smallest intersection can satisfy her.
Seeing her smile, Zhou Suiye thought this kid was crazy. When he was about to leave, he found that his red pen was all used up, so he borrowed a red pen from his deskmate.
Jin Yunyan, who was standing in front of me, didn't have a red pen either, so he asked Zhou Suiye to grab another one from Bo Xia. "Here, it's from my deskmate."
Meng Roujin was speechless: "You two really have nothing."
"Don't I still have this face?"
Meng Roujin, who was sitting in front of him, wanted to laugh: "Then it seems that your face doesn't really exist."
In the boring high school life, bickering with each other seems to be one of the only ways for them to relax.
Several people went to the teacher's office to grade exams, each taking a seat. A thick stack of papers had been stapled together, and the class names next to them were invisible.
They assign people to mark the test papers. One person marks one question, and then passes it to another person to mark the next question. This way, the efficiency is very high.
The sound of pens rubbing against paper came from the office. Such a quiet night seemed to have some special feeling. They didn't have to stay in a crowded classroom and could chat casually.
After Bo Xia finished correcting a part, she exchanged it with Jin Yunyan. She took his test paper and corrected the questions on it.
There was a sound in the corridor, and two teachers entered the office while talking.
"Children these days mature very early. You've never seen anything like this happen in elementary school. In my opinion, it's better to turn a blind eye."
"If you don't care, they'll be even more unbridled the next day. When I went to see them, the male and female students were chatting and making love as if no one was around. The boy was braiding the girl's hair, and they were quite engrossed in it. Is this a classroom or a date place?"
Gossip is probably human nature. Several people marked the papers at a noticeable slow pace, as they all wanted to hear what was going on.
Unfortunately, the teacher stopped the discussion when he saw someone in the office, walked in, took his things and left again.
The test papers were almost corrected. When Bo Xia was tidying them up, a bony hand caught her sight. His hand was very white, with a faint pink hue at the joints.
Jin Yunyan placed the pen in front of her: "Thank you."
Bo Xia always felt that the pen was luckier than she was. When her fingertips touched the pen, she could still feel the lingering warmth.
She stayed there for a moment in a daze, so much so that she didn't notice that Zhou Suiye said the same thing as Jin Yunyan.
Bo Xia was the last one to leave.
When she came out, she didn't know what she was thinking. She just followed the tall figure. She walked all the way to the end and realized that she almost followed Jin Yunyan into the bathroom.
The toilets in Nan'an Middle School are not on the same floor for men and women. The structure is designed so that the first floor is for women and the first floor is for men.
Fortunately, Bo Xia braked in time, otherwise she might be mistaken for a pervert. Thinking of this, her cheeks couldn't help but feel hot.
After the exam, everyone's mind was wandering. Many people in the class were still checking their answers. Someone said, "Why don't we just wait for Jin Yunyan to come back and ask him? What I just said must be the correct way to solve the problem."
Bo Xia was just passing by, but was inexplicably pulled to check the answers. She stood with them in a daze. Her answer was different from everyone else's. Although she was good at math, people around her still had some doubts.
Listening to the noisy sounds around her, she had no intention of arguing, and when she wanted to leave, a faint fragrance lingered around her nose.
There was another person behind her, a tall figure that easily enveloped her. Bo Xia heard the person say, "That's her answer."
The sounds in her ears suddenly became unclear, and all the noise and clamor were instantly drowned out. For a long time, she stood there unable to move, as if time had stopped for her.
I don’t know when the surroundings really became quiet. Bo Xia found that the head teacher had arrived and hurried back to his seat.
Old Fu is always serious, but this time he probably had something to do. Considering that they had just finished the exam, he walked to the podium and turned on the computer.
It took the students sitting below a while to realize that the teacher was going to show them a movie. They immediately shouted "Long live the teacher", which was completely different from their usual behavior of secretly complaining about the teacher.
"Don't make noise."
Before leaving, Fu Qiangmin told Zhou Suiye and the discipline committee member to keep an eye on the other students and not let them make any noise, otherwise the dean would come and see them and would not let them watch the movie.
Considering Zhou Suiye's recent behavior, Fu Qiangmin took two steps forward, thought for a moment, and then came over to Bo Xia and said, "You should keep an eye on it too."
She said "hmm", looking like a good and obedient student.
When the head teacher disappeared at the end of the corridor, the originally quiet classroom immediately became noisy again. Zhou Suiye walked to the podium and signaled, "Shh."
Zhou Sui Ye spoke in a gentle tone and asked everyone to keep their voices down so that they could watch the movie happily. The classmates all agreed.
He pressed the play button for the movie, walked down from the podium with his long legs, and when he reached Meng Roujin, he bent down and whispered to her, "Hey, let's change seats."
Meng Roujin knew what he was thinking and refused without even looking up: "Can't you just sit in your own seat?"
I really don't understand Zhou Suiye. Why is he so clingy to Jin Yunyan every day? It doesn't seem like they are gay.
Zhou Suiye had no choice but to write her a note, knowing that Bo Xia was easy to talk to: "My dear deskmate, you and Jin Yunyan can switch seats. I'll treat you to milk tea some other day."
Her throat tightened and she felt inexplicably nervous. Zhou Suiye saw her hesitation and thought there was no hope. Just as he was about to say that it was okay not to change, Bo Xia agreed.
It suddenly started raining outside the window, and the sound of dripping rain reached everyone's ears along with the movie, which sounded very hypnotic.
She and Jin Yunyan exchanged seats. She felt quite uneasy sitting in the seat he once sat in, not daring to truly feel the lingering warmth he left behind.
How would he feel sitting in her place? Would he see her from behind? Would his peripheral vision even catch her for a moment?
The tiny details that appear, even the ones you add when creating the work, are all addictive.
What is secret love?
Perhaps it is like creating one's own monologue, and every easily overlooked detail can be attributed to the arrangement of fate.
Many years later, Bo Xia still remembered that day. The curtains were drawn, the classroom was plunged into darkness, and the American movie playing on the screen made people immersed in it.
She wore the same school uniform as him and watched the movie with him, unilaterally declaring the completion of the most grand chapter in the youth film starring her.
