Chapter 36 Dream Her secret love ended.
Perhaps because they didn't expect him to say that, the sympathy and mockery mixed in with a bit of malice disappeared, and were replaced by astonished eyes, followed by discussions one after another.
"Go home together? Huh?"
"Does this count as a successful confession? Doesn't Jin Yunyan never pay attention to other people's confessions?"
"I didn't expect that I would also pick up literature on mutual secret love."
Someone said that if she had known earlier she would have done it too, while another laughed at her because that was not what she said when she just mocked the other person for being unworthy.
The classroom was in chaos.
But Bo Xia could not hear anything. She did not feel that she had woken up from the dream, because she saw that his gentle eyes were rarely focused on her. She even felt that the way he looked at her was very gentle, as if his palm would fall on her hair to comfort her in the next second.
The hot wind blew their hair apart, as if slowing down time. For a moment, she truly thought a miracle had befallen her.
The smile in his eyes slowly faded, and a closer look revealed a hint of inquiry.
Just at this moment, someone called him outside the classroom. Bo Xia was awakened by the voice and hurriedly took the diary from his hand and put it away. Only then did she remember to consider whether he had read her diary.
As Jin Yunyan left, those who were watching the joke suddenly felt bored.
Sometimes you have to accept that no matter where you stand or what kind of environment you find yourself, there will always be detractors around you, and often these detractors have nothing to do with who you are as a person. After all, human nature is what it is, and sometimes inexplicable or outspoken malice is simply driven by selfish desires.
She returned to her seat, her fingertips tightly clenching the diary in her hand.
There was no time to immerse herself in that beautiful dream. Bo Xia knew that she could not accept the judgment of others' eyes without saying a word, so she quietly concealed the tears at the corners of her eyes.
If tears cannot be used as a weapon at this moment, then they are just proof of weakness.
Wen Xin and Zhou Suiye weren't home that day, but for some reason, she felt even more courageous. She walked up to the person who had taken her diary and demanded an apology, just as her friends had encouraged her to do. The person was probably a little surprised that she had the guts to do that.
Bo Xia dug her nails into her palms as she spoke frankly, "I do like Jin Yunyan, but my love hasn't hurt anyone. Instead, it's your words and actions that are inflicting violence on me."
Her back was very straight, and her swan neck looked glowing white when viewed from the side.
Zhou Suiye and Wen Xin came in playfully and heard this, their eyes subconsciously drawn to her. They didn't know what was going on and walked in with some confusion. You know, with Bo Xia's personality, how could she admit to liking Jin Yunyan in public?
"I was just joking with you, is it necessary to make such a big deal? Besides, if I hadn't read your diary in front of everyone, would he have known that you liked him? Could you two have made it? Do you still have to thank me?"
The conversation contained a lot of information. Wen Xin's eyes widened, and she roughly understood what had happened. She had never seen such a shameless person before. Before she could seek justice for her friend, a cool breeze blew by, and Zhou Suiye had already walked over quickly.
It was the first time they heard Zhou Suiye swear. He kicked the table and went over to the boy, grabbing his hair and pinning him to the table. "Do you want to die? If you do, just say so."
His tone sounded casual, but his eyes were cold.
The people around saw that the person who was so arrogant just now was beaten like a grandson by Zhou Suiye. They wanted to get up but couldn't, and they didn't dare to talk back.
Chen Ran knew that Zhou Suiye was not a good person at all. He had fought with others when he was in trouble. He quickly pulled Zhou Suiye and said, "Brother, be patient. Don't get punished in your senior year."
The surroundings gradually quieted down. Shen Ran sensed something was amiss and looked out the window. Coincidentally, Fu Qiangmin was watching what the group of brats were doing. The anger on his face was visible, and just as he was about to explode, the usually timid and introverted Bo Xia stepped forward. "Teacher, can I explain this to you?"
Fu Qiangmin glanced at her and said, "Okay, come out with me."
When Bo Xia came out, she glanced at Zhou Suiye twice, her eyes filled with a hint of comfort. As she reached the end of the corridor, she bit her lip and said, "I had a little conflict with the boys in my class. The class monitor and I are on good terms, and I couldn't stand their mocking me, so I acted impulsively."
Fu Qiangmin really didn't know where to start. How could he not understand what boys and girls of their age were thinking?
"He's risking his life for his beloved, and you're just pretending to take responsibility for him and save the hero, right?"
"No," she said a little embarrassedly, "Zhou Suiye and I are just good friends."
Fu Qiangmin glanced at her twice, knowing that she would never dare to do anything beyond the line. He guessed that these two people at most had feelings for each other and could not possibly date privately. Even if they were dating, it would not be easy to break them up since they were already in their third year of high school.
He was just thinking about how to solve this problem when Zhou Suiye came out and said to him, "Teacher, this is purely my responsibility."
“…”
Fu Qiangmin seriously suspected that these kids had watched too many passionate movies, as they kept replaying these scenes of taking the blame for each other with him. He sighed, "Do you think I don't know that this is your responsibility? Go back and write a letter of apology."
The storm soon subsided.
Originally, they could have used this as an excuse to mock the parties involved, but with Jin Yunyan's approval and Zhou Suiye's protection, no one dared to offend them. It was said that not only was Zhou Suiye a tough nut to crack, but Jin Yunyan wasn't much better either. Some people had previously tried to provoke Jin Yunyan for his pretentiousness, but none of them had gotten away with it.
What's more, Bo Xia's words made everyone look at her in a completely different light, and when people mentioned her diary, they would just think that those who read her diary were tasteless.
But no one knew that Bo Xia was absent-minded the whole day.
The action at that time had consumed all her strength. Her emotions were so complicated, feeling embarrassed and redeemed at the same time. She was not so strong at that time, and doing that was already her limit.
She looked out the window and saw the purple sunset covering the entire sky. It was an unforgettable evening in her memory, like a paint palette overturned in her boring high school life.
Bo Xia quietly opened her diary, still confirming what happened today. She subconsciously looked at Jin Yunyan's position, thinking that her secret love finally saw the light of day.
But it's all too dreamy.
He actually responded to her like that and helped her out in front of everyone.
Bo Xia had imagined this outcome countless times in her mind. She imagined that one day Jin Yunyan actually liked her, and that he would get close to her after knowing her feelings. But when it really came true, she repeatedly doubted and couldn't believe it.
Could this be the case? Her love was too soft, could he hear it?
Her heart seemed to be filled with soft cotton, yet inexplicably soaked, with a slight heaviness.
After the evening study session, Bo Xia told Wen Xin to leave first. Wen Xin probably understood something and gave her an ambiguous look.
Bo Xia was packing her things, and seeing Jin Yunyan still reading, she slowed down a bit. She wanted to pretend to be casual and go out with him. Then, should she ask something?
Or maybe, Jin Yunyan would say something to her.
Will he say he likes her?
As she thought about this, she actually slowed down her pace of packing up her books. She was distracted for a moment, and when she looked up again, the man was gone from the classroom.
Bo Xia got up in a panic and walked out hastily with his schoolbag.
Thinking that he might have gone somewhere, but would definitely pass by the school gate in the end, Bo Xia walked to the school gate to wait for him.
On a late summer night, the hot wind made people feel hot and dry. Her fair calves felt itchy and were bitten by mosquitoes one after another. She reached out to scratch them in embarrassment.
The surroundings became increasingly quiet, and even the noisy cicadas in the past had calmed down.
"Classmate, why don't you go home so late?"
She looked up and saw the security guard kindly come out to ask her about something. But Bo Xia was still unwilling to give up, and she tiptoed towards the school.
But in the end, she saw nothing.
The foggy dream finally dissipated hazily, leaving nothing behind.
Bo Xia paused for a few seconds, tears welling in the corners of her eyes. She suddenly understood that Jin Yunyan's words today were meant to help her out. He was such a good man, and even if he didn't have any feelings for her, he wouldn't have put her in such an awkward situation.
But because he is so good, no one can pray to the merciful gods to show favoritism.
She was too young at that time and didn't understand this, let alone the true meaning of love. She was just subconsciously obsessed with being chosen, and felt that if she was not chosen, she was not good enough.
If she had known this day would come, she would have tried to hide the secret deeper.
She had hoped countless times that he would know how much she loved him, that there was someone in this world who loved him so silently, and she hoped even more that this love would have a result.
But now I realize that this love has had results from the very beginning, and in the end, no result is actually the best result.
Bo Xia took the last bus. The bright lights and nightlife outside the window flashed across her face. She saw that the wildly growing green was fading away, and the grand summer was beginning to exit.
Her secret love ended the day he knew her feelings.
