Chapter 35 Diary "It's well written. Do you want to go home with me tonight?" ...
The messages in the group during the summer vacation are much more active than usual. Every time I open it, there are 99+ messages. Maybe it’s because the third year of high school is coming and the holiday tasks are too heavy, and the resentment in the group is heavier than ghosts.
“As soon as I open my eyes, I start learning…”
"Have you heard? Senior year will start early this year."
"What--"
"Has the school gone crazy? Is there anyone with integrity who can report this?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the group chat was silent for two seconds, and was immediately flooded with the words "you go".
In the end, no one dared to go, and no one wanted to do something that would make others dislike them, such as reporting.
Bo Xia was not surprised. In fact, the difference between school opening and not opening was just a change of place to study, and it could also save tuition fees.
She glanced at the motivational poster on the wall and said to herself, "Come on."
Until the day before school started, Shen Ran in the group was still praying that the school leaders would suddenly lose their minds and cancel the school opening plan. However, as a provincial model high school, their Nan'an No. 1 Middle School would never allow itself to fall behind other middle schools.
After arriving at school, we changed classrooms, took exams, reviewed, and received lectures. After going through the whole process, everyone felt like their souls had been sucked out of them, and they became numb learning tools.
Fu Qiangmin on the stage was still educating them ideologically——
"Come on, everyone, get your spirits up! You all look so weak! I asked you to run a couple more laps this morning, and you almost collapsed right there. You're not even as healthy as the security guard at the door."
Wen Xin suppressed a smile and imitated Fu Qiangmin's words: "Do you know what time it is now? Senior year is the final critical period. Look, look at how well the last senior year students did on the exam..."
Before I even finished, Lao Fu caught me red-handed: "What are you doing? Still laughing and joking? Are you going to repeat the year while others are waiting to get their acceptance letters?"
He knocked on the table. "And you guys who like to hang out together, not learning from the good things but picking up the bad ones. You're just making promises like, 'We shouldn't work hard, whoever studies is a loser.' And then after the college entrance exam, you'll see, oh wow, your brother got into a key university."
The audience burst into laughter.
As soon as the get out of class was over, Wen Xin went to Bo Xia and Zhou Suiye and acted out the same scene the teacher had just mentioned: "Whoever studies is a dog."
She was just joking, but who knew that Bo Xia silently put away the books that were so tall that they covered her face, and then woofed.
“……?”
Zhou Suiye: "Woof."
Wen Xin: “……???”
It is impossible not to learn, not in this life.
Wen Xin pointed at them and was speechless for a moment, then Zhou Suiye hooked his arm around her neck: "Come on, puppy, I'll treat you to some snacks."
“…”Now it’s a complete puppy family, right?
That summer was surrounded by sweat and test papers. When I think back on it later, I still remember the incessant chirping of cicadas outside the window and the squeaking sound of the fan above my head. In the extreme summer, even splashing cold water on my face couldn't take away the slightest bit of the heat.
But summer is so extreme, extremely hot, extremely green, so extreme that it is hard to repeat, everything seems to be full to overflowing, just like their youth, grand, passionate, and never-ending.
Bo Xia hadn't written in her diary for a long time. Occasionally, when she opened it, she wrote in her diary on that afternoon when the light and shadow fell on the table -
“I heard that a person only has one summer in his life, and the rest can only be compared to it. [1] My summer is a mung bean-flavored popsicle, the noisy cicadas outside the window on a hot summer day, the pink sunset glow in the evening, and his thin shadow in a white shirt. Maybe the summers in the future will be good, but there will never be another summer like this one.”
After writing the last word, Wen Xin outside the classroom called her out: "Come out quickly."
"good."
The school invited an expert from somewhere to give them a lecture. They originally thought it would provide some substantial help with their studies, but it turned out to be nothing but brainwashing.
Wen Xin sat behind Bo Xia, playing with her hair earnestly, occasionally listening in. All she heard was meaningless nonsense like "You should be grateful to your parents." "Is money so easy to make these days?" she muttered inwardly.
On the way back, she was about to complain to Bo Xia, but she saw her friend's face was moved.
"......?" Wen Xin asked uncertainly, "Are you moved?"
"It's okay, I just think it makes sense."
“…” I finally understand why that person makes money.
I don't know when an inspirational red banner was hung on the teaching building, and when I entered the classroom, the countdown to the college entrance examination was written on the blackboard.
When they were not looking, the college entrance examination was approaching unexpectedly. It was not approaching in a day or two. This long-planned encounter had been planned for many years, just waiting for the last moment to drop the sharp knife on their necks.
Bo Xia felt a surge of pressure, and the only way to relieve it was to look at the person he secretly loved. The way Jin Yunyan held the pen was also very pleasing to the eye, as he was always flipping through something calmly.
After reading it, she looked at the hardest-working person in their class, and now she felt much more motivated. She encouraged herself to overcome her sleepiness and continue studying.
The days passed quickly, and before he knew it, it was the day circled on the calendar. However, Bo Xia was in a hurry to go out and had no time to check the calendar.
That day's class schedule was hellish, with two math periods followed by two physics periods. Even Bo Xia was struggling. After lunch, she decided to take a nap and walked down the hallway to class as usual.
When she reached the door, she suddenly heard a "bang" and the ribbons above her head suddenly exploded and fell on her head.
The girl took a step back in bewilderment. Before she realized what was happening, she heard Wen Xin shout "Happy Birthday." It turned out that Wen Xin had always remembered her birthday and had prepared such a surprise.
Sometimes she felt that the first unconditional love she received came from a friend.
Perhaps the fate between people in this world is not maintained solely by blood ties, but more by daily interactions.
"You actually still remember..." She never mentioned this matter before, and she herself was used to forgetting it. She had never celebrated her birthday at home.
Before she could even ask the question, Wen Xin pushed her in: "Eat cake, eat cake."
"Hey...but that ground..."
What if all the ribbons fell to the ground and were seen by the head teacher? Wen Xin knew her concerns and directly pulled Zhou Suiye over: "Go clean it up."
“You are…”
They hadn't cleaned the room yet, and since there was still some time before class started, they decided to celebrate her birthday first. The cake Wen Xin bought for her wasn't very big; she knew Bo Xia wasn't used to accepting gifts, so she bought just enough for them all.
After the candles were lit, Bo Xia glanced out the window nervously, fearing that Lao Fu would come over and catch them red-handed.
She closed her eyes and wished that she could be admitted to her ideal university.
Wen Xin clapped her hands continuously while she blew out the candles, urging her to cut the cake. She cut four pieces and placed the remaining piece on Jin Yunyan's desk. A classmate next to her seemed to notice something and looked at her twice.
The cake was very sweet, but the unfinished ribbon at the door unfortunately became a foreshadowing.
Zhou Suiye was scolded by Lao Futou and asked to be responsible for cleaning the classroom today. Wen Xin had not planned to join in. It was Zhou Suiye's fault in the first place. Who told her to urge this dog to clean the classroom but he refused to go?
Who knew that the idiot Bo Xia would actually take on the responsibility, and she could only "share the difficulties" inexplicably.
When she was left to clean, Wen Xin complained, "Zhou Suiye, are you a fool? Why is it so difficult for me to ask you to do something?"
"I'm busy celebrating her birthday. Besides, why aren't you cleaning?"
"I'm Bo Xia's best friend, so of course I have to celebrate her birthday first..."
After a few words of bickering, Wen Xin added, "And classmate Bo Xiaoxia, are you an idiot too? Let Zhou Suiye take the blame. Isn't that why he's so tall?"
Bo Xia could tell she was just nagging, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "Then our classmate Wen Xin is also stupid, right? She obviously didn't have to stay, so why did she stay in the end?"
"I……"
After cleaning up, a few people leaned back in their seats and lamented what fools they were.
But such pure fools only exist in that hot summer. For many years they will miss their youth that is gone forever.
It was getting late, so they discussed what to do in the cafeteria.
On the way, Zhou Suiye casually mentioned that it was a pity that Jin Yunyan was not here, otherwise he would have tricked him. Wen Xin laughed at him for always having such bad ideas.
Bo Xia couldn't help but ask, "Jin Yunyan...is he busy lately?"
"He's busy. I don't know what he's doing," Zhou Suiye said. "You know he's a bit of a loner. Sometimes I even doubt he's our age."
Wen Xin nodded: "Indeed, he looks like your father."
Zhou Suiye was so angry that he chased after her. Soon, his long legs caught up and controlled her. Wen Xin pushed his hands away and shouted for help. Bo Xia hurried to help...
The scene was very chaotic for a while.
…
With laughter and misery alternating between each other, more than half a month passed by unknowingly.
Bo Xia heard a classmate sigh, "Why does it feel like I've been in school for half a year, and only just started my second year? God, is this reasonable?"
She had just written a few sentences in her diary when she heard someone tell her that the head teacher was calling her over, so she put the diary under her textbook and hurriedly got up at the urging of her classmates.
When she came back, the atmosphere in the class seemed a little strange. Bo Xia walked in confused and saw that her desk had been knocked askew by someone, and her textbooks were scattered all over the desk.
As if remembering something, she frantically searched for her book: "Where's my notebook?"
Several boys were fighting over something, and their laughter was very harsh in the classroom that had just finished lunch break.
——"Whose diary is this?"
——"Let me see, let me see, there seems to be Jin Yunyan's name on it? Could this be a diary written by a girl who has a crush on Jin Yunyan?"
——"He's like a summer that's never going to come back, a summer I can never get through. It's so corny."
Bo Xia clearly heard the words she wrote, her own name, and the surrounding chatter. Some were curious, some thought it was expected, and some gave her subtle glances, as if mocking her wild imagination.
Some people even whispered it out loud, saying with certainty that there was no way Jin Yunyan could possibly like her.
Bo Xia stood there awkwardly with a pale face listening to their laughter.
She had hidden the secret deep in her heart, never dared to speak it out, and she had never imagined that one day it would be exposed to others like this. It all happened so suddenly that she couldn't even react, and her ears were buzzing.
Reason could not overcome emotion, so her eyes were moist, her throat was slightly choked, and she subconsciously looked in the direction of Jin Yunyan. She hoped that Jin Yunyan was not here today because he had something to do, but this dramatic scene happened to be unfolding in front of him.
She felt like she was dreaming, in which someone was forcibly exposing the feelings of a coward like her in front of him. Bo Xia watched him stand up as if to leave, his expression cold, perhaps because he didn't hear what those people said.
Bo Xia lowered her eyes, quietly wiping away the tears from her eyes, trying her best to control the emotions surging within her. She didn't want to show her vulnerability to others.
But the next second, a thin skeleton appeared before his eyes. Looking up from the diary he was holding, he saw a pair of gentle eyes. The boy had a faint teardrop mole at the corner of his eyes. His voice was low and pleasant: "It's well written. Do you want to go home with me tonight?"
