Chapter 19 Note: I hope we can be good friends forever.
She lowered her eyelashes, the corners of her lips curling slightly, but there was a hint of bitterness hidden in her smile. It turned out that she hadn't been lucky enough to find a sweet candy in that candy jar.
Bo Xia smoothed out the wrinkles on the confession letter and tucked it away in her book. She raised her head and smiled at Zhou Suiye, saying, "Thank you."
In any case, she wanted to thank the other party for his kindness.
After saying thank you, Shen Ran couldn't hold back any longer: "It's over, I've been given the nice guy card."
The few boys in the back row who loved to eat melons burst into laughter. They came over to surround Zhou Suiye, even touching his face and saying affectionately, "Thank you, Zhou Suiye. Although I don't like you, you are a good person."
Zhou Suiye, who looked like he had been struck by lightning, became angry and said, "Get out of the way."
Wen Xin hadn't known about this. She'd missed out on such a wonderful event at noon, and when she came in the evening, she was still happily handing out apples. Others only gave out one or two, but she had brought over a whole bag of apples when the price had skyrocketed.
Bo Xia picked one and asked if it was expensive. Wen Xin said, "My mom bought it. She asked me to share it with my classmates. Don't just take one."
She was forced to take a few more, lowered her eyes and looked at the Apple logo, and suddenly she felt like she was peeping into someone else's happy life in a dark corner.
Things that seem normal to others seem like things happening in another world to her.
She took the apple and took a bite. It was very sweet.
After a lively gift-giving break, everyone returned to studying in the evening.
A few students in the back row were so bored that they passed a note around. It somehow found its way to Wen Xin, who flipped it open. The title read, "Shocking! Who knew our class monitor liked the vice-monitor? You know what? They don't seem to be very simple-minded."
Wen Xin glanced at Bo Xia, who was studying seriously, and felt that it was unlikely.
She couldn't help but complain about who wrote this note, using the IU browser title and post mode, and the handwriting on it was even different colored pens -
1L: Today I saw the monitor confessing his love to the deputy monitor. The deputy monitor kept saying things like "thank you" and "you are a good person". It felt like unrequited love.
2L: I saw that too. I heard that the class monitor has been secretly in love with the vice-class monitor for a long time. He even shamelessly asked the academic genius to borrow her notebooks. 3L: It might not be unrequited love. They usually have a pretty good relationship. Maybe he just doesn't want to delay his studies.
4L: I’m really in love with this. You must know some inside information!
5L: Can those people on the first and second floors please stop causing more trouble? It’s obvious that the class monitor is imagining that others have a crush on him. I’m dying of laughter.
6L: Even the vice-class monitor swore after hearing what he said that he would not be able to pass the exam even if he liked him. He didn’t finish what he said, so it was probably because he would not be able to get into university. The class monitor had a look of being struck by lightning. Could it be that he really liked the vice-class monitor?
7L: You know what, it’s quite interesting.
…
Wen Xin was so engrossed in watching that her expression was very complicated. She wanted to laugh but was also a little speechless. She was just about to ask Bo Xia next to her what was going on when she saw a white shirt appear in front of her.
Her expression froze instantly. She couldn't believe it but still looked up at the old man's murderous face.
"Does it look good?"
Wen Xin chuckled awkwardly and clenched the note tightly when the head teacher pulled it out of her hand. The good news was that the other party failed to take it all away. The bad news was that the note was torn in half with a snap, and the other half taken away by the head teacher was enough for him to understand part of what happened.
"teacher!"
Fu Qiangmin's eyes moved around Bo Xia and Zhou Suiye. Seeing that Wen Xin was about to say something to him, he frowned and interrupted her with a forced smile: "What else do you want to say? You're not doing your homework during evening study and are passing notes to others. Is that fun?"
He walked to the podium and looked at the students below for a while. The expressions of the students in the class were different. Some lowered their heads like ostriches, some ignored his presence and continued to study, and some pretended to be busy... But the two parties involved seemed to be fine.
Fu Qiangmin thought about it and called two people to his office before leaving.
Bo Xia put down the tutorial book, thinking that Teacher Fu was assigning them some class tasks, so he didn't take it too seriously.
After arriving at the office, she stood in front of the desk and asked quietly, "Teacher, is there anything I can help you with?"
Zhou Suiye, standing by, felt a little guilty, but not because he had done anything wrong, but because he was standing next to her. He touched his nose, and the usually outgoing man suddenly became a little quiet.
Fu Qiangmin looked at them and the more he looked, the more he felt that there was something between the two of them. One was quiet and the other was lively. They had sat together last time...
He coughed. "You two haven't usually given me any cause for worry. Now is a critical moment, and you should focus on your studies. I believe you should understand the importance of doing the right thing at the right time, especially you, Zhou Suiye."
They both: “…”
Bo Xia and Zhou Suiye looked at Fu Qiangmin in confusion, and both complained in their hearts that if there was nothing important, they could be allowed to go back.
Fu Qiangmin did not point it out clearly. He only spoke harshly to those ignorant children. Students like them who usually performed well should be guided patiently. They would naturally understand with just a few words of guidance.
"Do you know why high school is so crucial? The college entrance exam is a crucial moment in changing your destiny. You can worry about other things afterward. Don't ruin your future for a moment of happiness. I believe that if you truly have that in mind, you'll continue to develop in college. What's more important now is to improve yourself..."
Bo Xia raised her hand and smoothed her hair, but she couldn't understand what he said.
Then the person in front of him sighed and could only say a little more clearly: "It is normal for you to have some feelings for the opposite sex at your age. The teacher believes that you will handle your feelings correctly."
When she heard this, her cheeks immediately turned red.
As she returned, Bo Xia was still wondering: when had she been exposed? Did the head teacher know she liked Jin Yunyan? She was momentarily overwhelmed by embarrassment and worried that Lao Fu would call her parents. She didn't have time to consider why Zhou Suiye was there.
It wasn't until they returned to the classroom and the bell rang that Wen Xin asked her if she was okay.
She shook her head, her eyes reflecting her friend's slightly guilty face.
Wen Xin blamed the boy in the back row for passing her a note. Bo Xia realized it later and her eyelashes trembled: "What note?"
When the item was handed to her, it was only half a piece.
Bo Xia saw the words above. Although she didn't know what was said before, she suddenly understood. It turned out that the head teacher had misunderstood that there was something going on between her and Zhou Suiye.
She immediately breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt that the scene just now was really embarrassing.
"Are you okay?" Wen Xin shook her hand.
She said it was okay: "Don't worry, the head teacher didn't say anything."
Bo Xia subconsciously looked at the place she used to look at the most. She always wanted to look at that person casually, but she didn't expect that they would really look each other in the eye. She immediately pretended nothing happened and turned her eyes away.
His expression was like a deer startled in the deep forest.
Jin Yunyan smiled. When he heard Zhou Suiye express his confusion about the teacher's words, he said calmly, "What do you think, the confession loser who was given the "nice guy" card?"
“…”
It has been exceptionally cold these past few days, with thick dark clouds pressing down on the sky, revealing only half of the moon playing hide-and-seek.
After school, Bo Xia just got on the bus when suddenly there was a figure next to her. She looked up and found that Zhou Suiye was standing next to her.
She looked up at him with some confusion.
"I'm sorry for causing you trouble with my careless words," Zhou Suiye said solemnly, a rare occasion.
It turned out to be this matter. Bo Xia reacted for a few seconds and understood. There was a hint of loneliness in his eyes, but he smiled gently: "It's not your problem. In fact, I have always been grateful for you being so kind to me. I am very happy to have you as a friend."
The driver turned off the lights and the car was dark.
Zhou Suiye couldn't see her expression clearly, but he felt that her eyes were particularly bright.
The announcement rang out in the quiet carriage. Seeing their destination, Bo Xia stood up and walked to the back door, ringing the bell. She got off the train immediately. Zhou Suiye looked back and saw only her back as she ran in the wind. She looked small to him, yet full of life.
After a long time, Zhou Suiye suddenly received a message——
Bo Xia: "Actually, I like you very much. It's the kind of affection a friend has for a friend. You are as warm as the sun, and anyone who is close to you feels very happy."
Bo Xia: "I hope we can be good friends forever."
At the age of seventeen or eighteen, we are always simple and naive.
How could they at that time consider the future separation and the tired world of adults, so the word "forever" could be easily said out of their mouths.
The voice-controlled light in the corridor was broken, so Bo Xia could only grope her way up the stairs carefully, step by step, in the dark. After returning home and sending a message on her phone, her heart was pounding.
She has always been bad at expressing herself, and the words she just sent were her limit.
Bo Xia also wanted to be a free-spirited person like Wen Xin and Zhou Suiye, who could say whatever she wanted and do whatever she wanted, without having to be so fragile and quiet.
The phone rang, it was Zhou Suiye's reply.
Someone was already very moved. He usually felt comfortable saying anything, but now he felt embarrassed to be pretentious and just said that they would definitely be good friends for life.
She looked at the words on the screen and smiled, but a hint of loneliness permeated her eyes.
It would be great if I could say the word "I like" to him so easily.
