Chapter 24: The world is so quiet in the first snow, as if she is the only one left in the moment...
The end of the corridor was bathed in a pink glow, like the backdrop of an idol drama. Her grip on the bottle slowly tightened, unable to conceal the look of disappointment on her face.
Zhou Suiye followed her gaze and asked with a hint of gossip in his tone: "Isn't that the class beauty from the next class?"
He walked over with an inquiring mind and heard Jin Yunyan say lightly that it was not necessary. Although this person usually has a good temper, he probably doesn't remember many of his classmates' names since he transferred to the school. He is even more aloof towards people from other classes.
"Mr. Jin, I think it would be best if we could help each other."
Jin Yunyan leaned against the wall, his school uniform zipped up to the top, revealing only half his face. He seemed a little impatient, and the smile on his face faded a lot.
The young man was tall, and his cold, drawn-eye gaze made people feel strangely distant. Indeed, he was usually courteous and gentlemanly to everyone, but those eyes seemed to be unable to accommodate anyone.
The girl backed out and could only say sorry for disturbing him in a panic and left in a hurry.
"She's got good grades, she's pretty, and her family's rich," Zhou Suiye joked. "Are you really not tempted?"
Jin Yunyan walked into the classroom, smiling, "If you like me, I'll help you pursue her."
"That's what I'm saying," he handed the drink to Jin Yunyan, "Have you ever chased a girl? Just open your mouth and say it. But don't tell me that using that face of yours to seduce someone is called pursuit."
He knew it without having to ask.
Someone like Jin Yunyan, who grew up surrounded by celebrities, would have no experience in chasing girls at all, and he couldn't imagine that Jin Yunyan would chase a girl one day.
Zhou Suiye sat down and asked Jin Yunyan to reimburse him. The latter handed him a red bill and said he had no change. He accepted it without hesitation: "Okay, then I won't mind."
Seeing the lime juice on the table, Zhou Suiye suddenly thought of something and looked up at Bo Xia's position, and his eyes met hers.
He felt as if drops of water were dripping from his chest, and inexplicably a connection had been made. Suddenly, another hypothesis came to his mind. If this hypothesis was correct, all the strange details from the past could be easily connected.
Bo Xia had no time to care about Zhou Suiye's thoughts, she didn't even look away.
Meng Roujin, who was sitting in the back row, saw the drink she was drinking and casually chatted with her: "Why do you like something so sour? I feel like my teeth are going to fall out just by looking at it."
"Just trying it, it's a little sour."
But what right does she have to be jealous?
Before evening self-study, she received the results of the essay competition. The head teacher handed her the first prize certificate. She finally had something to be happy about, and her steps to the cafeteria for dinner felt much more relaxed.
Meng Roujin took her arm and looked back to see a little tail following behind her: "Young Master Zhou is also going to the cafeteria to eat in person?"
The reason for this teasing is that Zhou Suiye usually eats out with Jin Yunyan and rarely goes to the cafeteria. No one knows why he came to follow them today.
"If I don't go myself, you can go in my place."
The three of them walked side by side. Meng Roujin looked over at Zhou Suiye. Although she usually focused on her studies, she was more curious than anyone else when it came to gossip. She pried for information: "I heard that Chen Yiyi from the next class likes Jin Yunyan?"
Zhou Suiye raised his head and said in a muffled voice: "Well, it's a pity that some people don't understand romance."
"Rejected? Is that true? What kind of girl does Jin Yunyan like?"
"Why do you ask that?"
"Can't I just ask?" Meng Roujin nudged Bo Xia beside her, "Are you curious too?"
Bo Xia was more curious than anyone else, but her emotions were completely hidden on her face: "Yeah."
She lowered her eyes and heard what people around her were saying. She was not the only one gossiping. It was also human nature to be curious about the orientation of the male god in the forum.
Suddenly Zhou Suiye stopped and looked straight at her with his narrow eyes as if he saw through something: "Do you like him?"
He used the word "you guys", but his eyes were fixed on her. Bo Xia felt guilty that her secret was known to others, and it seemed that she could not call him crazy in a joking tone like the people around her.
But fortunately, after Meng Roujin rolled her eyes at him, he faced them, smiled, and took a few steps back. It was as if what he had just said was just a casual remark, nothing more.
but……
She didn't know why, but the bitterness in her heart had dissipated a lot. She didn't even realize how strange her thoughts were at that time. He clearly didn't like anyone else, and he didn't say he liked her, so why did she feel much better just because of that?
The temperature dropped that night and she felt it was particularly cold. After returning home, she filled a hot water bottle and held it in her arms, which made her feel much better.
She still didn't talk much when having dinner with her father. She had inherited his taciturn character since childhood. After a while, she remembered something and said that she had won the first prize in this essay contest.
She raised her eyes but didn't get the desired reaction from the other person's face, so her smile faded. Her father didn't say anything, but he just felt that the thing didn't add any points to the college entrance examination, so what was the use of it.
The hot water bottle in my arms seemed to have cooled down, and it wasn't as warm anymore when I held it.
A strong wind blew at night. When Bo Xia got up, she searched for a long time and wrapped a white scarf around her neck before going out. Although it was still a little cold, it could block most of the cold wind.
Going to the playground in such cold weather was full of complaints from classmates. Bo Xia was a little listless, and her scarf almost covered her entire face.
After reaching her position in the team, her eyes lit up when she saw Wen Xin: "You're here."
When Bo Xia came close to her, she looked like a cute, spoiled puppy. Wen Xin couldn't help but pinch her face: "You missed me, didn't you?"
"Don't mention it. School is boring without you."
These words made Wen Xin so confused that she was at a loss. If the wind was stronger today, she might turn into a balloon and float into the sky.
The two girls walked back to the classroom arm in arm. Bo Xia, still a little worried about Wen Xin, quickly asked if everything was alright at home. Wen Xin said nothing. Bo Xia understood her friend's understanding, knowing that Wen Xin would usually bring up trivial matters like eating an extra bowl of rice, so it seemed unusual for her to say nothing at this moment.
"Are you really okay? Don't you want to tell me?"
The tone was somewhat familiar. It was clearly the trick she had used on her last time. Wen Xin admitted defeat and said that her father was injured during a mission a few days ago and she had gone to the hospital to take care of him for two days.
"Is this what you call okay?" Bo Xia asked nervously, "Is Uncle okay now?"
"There's no danger anymore." Wen Xin said, and her mind recalled the despair she felt when she received the news that day, and her face turned slightly pale.
She said it lightly, but Bo Xia guessed it was serious. However, she was not good at expressing her emotions. So when she got to the classroom, she handed her the notes she had made for her and asked her to ask him if she didn't understand something. After seeing her finish drinking the water, she naturally took her thermos cup to get more water.
She didn't say it, but Wen Xin could feel her concern and coquettishly asked her to treat her to some grilled sausages from the canteen.
Seeing that she was the same as usual, Bo Xia felt relieved: "Okay."
But there were also some differences. Wen Xin actually looked at the notes she made and asked her about the knowledge points she didn't understand. She was so serious that she seemed like a different person.
Bo Xia would look at her in confusion, and the answer she got was that the final exams were almost time, and she wasn't allowed to cram at the last minute?
It doesn't seem to be a problem.
As the school bell rang, Bo Xia flipped through a book and uttered a wise saying: "If you cram at the last minute, you'll likely get kicked in the back."
“…” Wen Xin realized that she was quite bad, so she quietly kicked her under the table.
The last two classes are Chinese classes. The school wants to find two students to shoot a campus promotional video. Many students who want to skip classes want to take this opportunity to perform, but Fu Qiangmin is a little hesitant. Going will delay the students' studies, so it is better to find students with good grades.
His eyes moved around below, and just at this time Wen Xin kept touching Bo Xia's arm. The next second, Bo Xia raised his hand: "Then Bo Xia, go."
"Pick another boy," Fu Qiangmin took a look. He had originally wanted to choose the sunny and cheerful Zhou Suiye, but seeing him spinning a pen, he felt a nameless anger in his heart. "Jin Yunyan, you have a better image, you go."
She had imagined countless times that she would have such an opportunity with him, but now that it had finally come true, it felt so unreal that she felt as if something had hit her on the head and she felt a little dizzy.
As I left the classroom, the old man's voice rang out from behind me: "What are you looking at? The rest of you can continue with your studies and turn to the part we learned last time..."
Bo Xia followed Jin Yunyan through the corridor between the two buildings, down from the Lanri Building, which housed the senior high school students, to the filming location. Because of the strong wind, the instructor assigned them to film indoors.
She was a little nervous when she took the script handed to her by the teacher. She had never faced such a scene before and she couldn't help but doubt in her heart whether she could really do it.
The senior student next to her probably noticed her nervousness and told her that many shots were not shot with her face directly in front of her, so she didn't need to be afraid. She smiled gratefully at the senior student, and her grip on the notebook loosened a little.
Before the filming, she glanced at Jin Yunyan and inexplicably gained a bit of courage.
It was like if there were many things in this world that he could do, then she believed that she could accomplish it too.
The teacher stretched out her hand and called her over. Looking at the girl in the camera standing by the window in school uniform, she looked very youthful. She couldn't help but sigh in her heart that youth is really great.
After she finished filming a few shots, Jin Yunyan was still filming. The teacher probably thought that he looked more photogenic, so she gave him a lot of lines.
Bo Xia stood behind the camera, gazing up at the glittering figure. Even in front of so many people, he seemed at ease, as if he was already accustomed to such occasions. Indeed, he had probably won many awards and stood on many platforms since he was a child.
She leaned over and just happened to see him looking into her eyes through the camera, and her heart trembled.
After the meeting, a faint smile graced the corners of his lips. From a distance, he looked composed and composed, his gaze passing over her. Bo Xia didn't have time to think before she heard the photographer beside her say he wanted to take a group photo of them.
Her heart leaped with joy, and she stood beside him under the pretext of being in the same class with him. Before the shutter was pressed, she adjusted her expression and tried to make her smile look prettier and sweeter.
After that day, Bo Xia still remembered walking out of the multimedia classroom, his back still before her eyes. Suddenly, she felt a chill on the tip of her nose. She raised her head slightly to look up at the sky, where tiny snowflakes swirled in the air like feathers.
My eyes were covered by this white veil, and when I looked at the person in the distance through it, it was so blurry that I could hardly see clearly.
The world was so quiet, as if only she and he were left for a moment.
