Chapter 16 Shining and unique youth.
But the little regret hidden in my heart was soon diluted by the busyness.
She was busy studying and planning activities with Wen Xin. After school, they were walking together and still discussing. Wen Xin suggested that she could bring her Polaroid camera, and she nodded.
The weather was fine, and there was a bright moon in the night sky.
Bo Xiagang used the time after evening self-study to study and understand the physics knowledge points of the previous unit, and also finished writing the entry for the essay competition.
She looked up at the moon, and suddenly felt that it didn't matter if the moon was always high in the sky, and it didn't matter if Jin Yunyan was not around, because he was walking his own path, and she was also looking up at the moon to become a better self.
The day of the event soon arrived. The school was bustling with beautiful banners hanging everywhere.
A few people carried cardboard boxes to the event venue. Seeing the classmates who were going to the liberal arts class with a higher score and the seniors they knew in the club, Wen Xin hurried to talk to them, chatting with one and greeting that, leaving Bo Xia and Meng Roujin behind in amazement.
How does she recognize so many people?
"It's finally over." Meng Roujin sighed as she looked at the things in the box.
Bo Xia continued, "Yeah, I'm a little tired."
Mainly a bit scary.
Why do I use the word "horrifying"? A few days ago, they couldn't finish their handicrafts and decided to take a risk and weave some ropes during evening self-study. They were already very cautious when doing things that were not related to study, and suddenly they saw half of their head teacher's face reflected in the window. The horror was no less than if Sadako had come out of the TV.
Bo Xia was a good girl who rarely did bad things, so she was naturally very nervous, especially since she had just met the gaze of her homeroom teacher. She was almost certain that he had seen her and Meng Roujin doing handicrafts.
Seeing the head teacher walking in step by step, her heart became heavier and heavier, and for a moment she didn't know how to face the situation of being criticized.
When she was sixteen or seventeen years old, the teacher was too authoritative in her mind, and it seemed like the sky was falling if she did something wrong.
Seeing the head teacher getting closer, she bit her lip and lowered her head, ready to face the storm.
"Take it out."
A voice rang out overhead. Bo Xia was about to hand something over to the teacher, but out of the corner of her eye she noticed the head teacher wasn't standing right in front of her. She looked up and realized it wasn't her she was talking about.
The boy sitting in the back row lowered his head and took out his cell phone reluctantly.
Fu Qiangmin confiscated the things and sneered, "What kind of study session are you having? Some are reading novels, some are playing games, and some are talking. Did your parents pay you tuition just to have fun at school?"
As usual, he gave a lecture, but the students still caught the key information from the following words. Their class teacher actually said that he had been standing in the corridor for a long time, observing them through the reflection in the glass.
“…”Teacher, you will succeed in everything you do with such perseverance.
It’s a pity that classroom surveillance facilities were not yet popular at that time, otherwise the elderly class teachers would not have to work so hard.
Now when they think back to the scene, Bo Xia and Meng Roujin are still scared.
"If Lao Fu hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known that you could see inside through the reflection from the windows in the corridor," Meng Roujin said. Later, they went to the corridor to observe and saw that it was indeed very clear. "Luckily, where we were sitting was a little off, so he couldn't see clearly."
But Bo Xia felt that Lao Fu must have seen it. How could these students be so capable of covering up everything in front of the teacher with such a clumsy performance?
The reason why he didn't say it was not because she and Meng Roujin were both top students in the class, but perhaps because he saw regret and fear in their eyes, and finally chose not to hurt their fragile self-esteem in public.
…
It's still early, and according to the plan they should set up the stall first.
Bo Xia put up the signs he had prepared, and soon the stall looked presentable. Zhou Suiye reached out to touch the things they had just put up, but Wen Xin hit him: "Zhou Daye, what are you doing? If you have nothing to do, please don't make trouble and be a doorman, okay?"
Zhou Suiye hissed and couldn't help laughing: "You used to call me Xiao Tiantian, and now it's Zhou Dayong. How can you make my cultured name sound so vulgar?"
Wen Xin blinked: "Cultivated, what's so cultural about your name?"
Wen Xin deliberately asked Bo Xia if he knew. The latter suppressed a smile, knowing in his heart that it came from Li Bai's line "The mountains end with the plains, and the river flows into the wilderness." Zhou Suiye had said it countless times when reciting it, but he still pretended to be stupid and shook his head.
Zhou Suiye was very angry: "Yes, you are bullying me."
The scene of a tall guy over 1.8 meters saying that he was bullied was quite funny. Bo Xia raised the corners of his lips, not knowing why he suddenly thought of a similar scene.
The last time Jin Yunyan bullied him like this, there was a faint smile in his eyes.
Her heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason, and she felt like she was sick because she thought of him no matter what she did.
However, although Zhou Suiye likes to joke around, he is still very reliable when it comes to doing serious work.
At first, no one came to patronize, but he attracted a few customers, and soon more and more people came to the stall. The handicrafts they made were quite exquisite and attracted the attention of many girls.
“This hairpin is so pretty.”
"Yeah yeah."
Wen Xin coughed and said, "Buy three hairpins and get one free. Buy two twisting sticks and get the small ring next to them."
The students in front of him were very excited when they heard this: "Let me take a look, let me take a look."
Another classmate wanted to take a photo with Zhou Suiye. Wen Xin took the Polaroid camera and readily answered on Zhou Suiye's behalf, "Sure."
After everyone left, Zhou Suiye asked me if this counted as selling my body.
"If you can't hold back your lips, then don't hold them back. If Jin Yunyan hadn't come, would it be your turn?"
The warm sunlight fell on the young men, covering them with a layer of orange light.
The items on the stall gradually emptied out. Bo Xia looked at what was left in the boxes and seriously considered whether to hold a clearance sale.
A shadow fell in front of her. She raised her head and asked with a smile, "Classmate, what do you want?"
The moment she saw his face clearly, the minty scent on his body made her brain recognize it first. She was drowned in those gentle eyes and felt a little dizzy.
Jin Yunyan was wearing a black windbreaker. Perhaps because he wasn't wearing a school uniform, he looked a bit more rogue. He picked up a puppy made of a twisting stick and asked, "How much is this?"
She suddenly didn't know what to say and was so surprised by his sudden appearance that she couldn't recover.
Jin Yunyan didn't get a response, his peach blossom eyes drooped, his gaze fell on her face: "Classmate?"
"Eight."
The banknotes handed over were hot. Bo Xia looked at the white puppy and wondered if this was fate. Among all the things they had made together, he chose the one she had made.
Zhou Suiye came over and hooked his arm around Jin Yunyan's neck, then looked up at the dazed Bo Xia. "What's going on? Seeing our young master coming here, you're still selling it for eight yuan? Does that match his worth? Did you forget to add a few zeros?"
Jin Yunyan stretched out his arm and touched him to prevent him from hooking.
Zhou Suiye complained again: "Why don't you wait until we sell out before coming back? You seem to like to reap the benefits while others are still making money."
Jin Yunyan glanced at him and said, "That's perfect. I'll go back first."
"Hey—" Zhou Suiye held him back, "Isn't it just a joke? Anyway, can the security guard let you in wearing this?"
Nowadays, students who skip classes and people from other schools like to take advantage of the situation, so the inspection at the gate is very strict.
Jin Yunyan narrowed his eyes: "So I argued with him at the school gate for ten minutes, and finally called the head teacher."
Zhou Suiye gloated: "You have come to this day."
The items were almost sold out. Wen Xin came over to count them, put away the money she had earned, and then took a look at the keychain that couldn't be sold: "Why don't we not sell this one? Let's each have one as a souvenir."
"OK."
The heat shrink film keychains were distributed to everyone. The one Bo Xia got had a pattern of green mountains, and a ribbon hanging next to it read "High mountains and vast waters". She pretended to glance at Jin Yunyan casually and caught a glimpse of the blue sea he was holding.
Her mood suddenly became better for no reason, and for a moment she liked this activity even more than Wen Xin. After all, this way she could privately use couple key chains with Jin Yunyan.
It’s a pity that this is the first time their school holds a charity sale, but it is also their last time to participate as high school preparatory students.
Perhaps beautiful things are always easy to be out of print.
"Come here, let's take a photo."
Wen Xin waved at them from a distance. She held up the camera and asked them to pose. The teenagers spontaneously raised their key chains and placed them on their cheeks, and their youth was frozen in time.
The photo paper ran out quickly, and Wen Xin sorted out the photos and prepared to share them with everyone: "I took two photos."
Bo Xia was watching from the side and noticed that there was a photo that Wen Xin had just accidentally wanted to take of her. Because no one was on guard, their expressions were very casual.
She smiled with her face tilted to the side, her long bangs falling down, her swan neck slender and white. Bo Xia discovered for the first time that she was actually beautiful from this angle.
In the blurry shot, whether it was due to the shooting angle or something else, Jin Yunyan's gaze behind her actually fell on her.
Her heart was about to jump out, but she suppressed the clamor in her heart: "Can I have this photo?"
“This picture is blurry.”
"It doesn't matter. It looks good even if it's blurry."
Wen Xin nodded: "It's true that it's blurry, but it makes me feel safer, and Xia Xia, you are really beautiful."
She felt a little embarrassed by the compliment, knowing that it was just Wen Xin's friend filter.
Because she also always thought Wen Xin was the most beautiful person in the world. The saying "beauty is in the eyes of the beholder" also applies to friends.
Bo Xia finally got the photo as she wished. Wen Xin didn't want her to suffer any loss, so she handed her a clear photo of them together.
The Polaroid camera had a very good quality. In the photo, they looked youthful in their blue school uniforms. Bo Xia stood in the front row very quietly, forming a contrast with the playful Wen Xin. Zhou Suiye stood behind her, leaning on Jin Yunyan as if he had no bones, while the latter raised his eyes slightly, looking a little cold and arrogant.
Everyone is shining, and their shining together constitutes a unique youth.
