12 A Date with Him
My Question
“Ding-ling-ling-”
The sunlight shines into the room through the curtains, inch by inch, quietly occupying half of the room.
A tender little hand reached out from under the soft quilt with yellow, orange and white rabbit prints and stopped the excited pink alarm clock.
In the morning, 6 o'clock.
The girl opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the ceiling. She blinked, then closed her eyes gently for a minute. She opened her eyes again and sat up. She clearly felt that her body was no longer as heavy as last night and felt a lot more relaxed.
"Looks like I can go to school today."
After murmuring for a while, the girl got dressed, washed up, and ate a nutritious breakfast made by her mother. Then she said goodbye and walked out of the house slowly with steady steps.
Outside, the air is fresh. Although it is autumn, there are still beautiful scenery everywhere.
After arriving at school, seeing everything familiar and greeting her classmates, the girl started her day's classes.
Although most of her current classes are review and exams, she is a little worried about her condition after not coming to school for three days.
Outside the window, the parasol trees are swaying and the fallen leaves are layered, adding a deep and heavy feeling of autumn.
Tall and handsome...
Looking at the pink lunch box on the table, she recalled the scene of the two of them eating dessert and chatting under the big tree in the corner of the campus. Her eyes were as deep and dim as the autumn colors, and she was full of thoughts.
After that day, is he okay?
After school, in the corner of the campus.
The autumn wind is gentle, almost imperceptible. The leaves gradually turn yellow, the grass loses its vitality, and the familiar people... are nowhere to be found.
Standing under the tree, the girl tucked her hair behind her ears, lowered her head and sighed, letting her thoughts fly, back to Saturday in the park - the last lunch time.
"Is...something happened?" The girl's voice was full of concern, as light as a feather.
My heart trembled uncontrollably, out of surprise and worry.
The sunlight was dim, and under the dark clouds was the girl's slightly pale face.
The young man secretly clenched his fists and said slowly, "My grades in this monthly exam...are better than before. I'm showing you my ranking on the wall. You see it, right?"
"Yes, I see." The girl nodded.
In this ranking, Gao Shuai ranked 97th in mathematics, 175th in Chinese, and 189th overall. The other subjects... were not on display.
"Now that you've seen this, you should know how far my current grades are from my goal of getting a top university."
"Gao Shuai..."
"Not to mention the negative rankings on the display wall, even those grades in other subjects that weren't even ranked..." the boy sighed, "It's hard to describe in a few words."
"There's still time to review, let's..."
"Yes, there's still time, but..." The young man said calmly and self-awarely, "Time waits for no one, and...there's not much left."
Less than a year later, after the monthly exam, he became a little anxious.
"I..." The girl started to speak, but she didn't know how to comfort him. She bit her lip and said carefully, "If you don't mind, I can study with you. I'm sure we'll be in time..."
"Sweet." The boy paused for a moment, looking at the girl's eyes filled with concern. He shook his head and said, "Studying requires concentration. Facing you... I knew I wouldn't be able to stay focused, so... I found someone else to help me with my studies."
"You..." the girl asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
"Your classmate, Leng Jun."
"Student Leng Jun!" The girl was surprised. "After the last make-up class, didn't Student Leng Jun say that he wouldn't do it again? How come…"
"Well, he did, but..." the young man said lightly, "I have an appointment with him, and he has already agreed."
The thin clouds were blown away by the wind, and the sunlight slowly penetrated the gaps and fell on the girl's face, as if it was coated with a layer of warm light, like a dream, beautiful and moving.
He always knew that she was very beautiful and had excellent grades in all subjects.
After comparing them, I found that there is a huge gap between the two.
This feeling, like the bitterness of tea, always makes him regret the years when he did not study hard.
If he could have met her earlier, would he...
"and you……"
Once again, she tried to help him with his studies but was rejected. She looked at the two backpacks on the table. She was silent for a moment, sorted out her thoughts, and said in a relaxed tone, "From now on, study hard. As for lunch, I've recently learned some new delicacies. If you like, I..."
"No need to bother." The boy paused for a moment and began to explain, "I've told my uncle and aunt about what happened before. From now on... don't worry, I won't let myself go hungry again."
"That... is very good, very good." The girl's thoughts were in a mess. She could only nod, not knowing what to say.
Gao Shuai has his own plans and studies are the most important thing. How could she disturb him?
"After that..." the boy continued, "The old place where we met—under that big tree. I probably won't have time to go there much. Lunch will be in the classroom. Don't worry about me, and... take care of yourself."
"...Okay." The girl pinched her palms and replied hesitantly.
The air was quiet for a while. The boy fell silent. Just as he was about to say something, the girl spoke first and asked, "You said last time that you wanted to tell me something after the monthly exam was over and the results came out... Is this what you wanted to say?"
Gao Shuai must have always cared about his grades!
If he was not satisfied with the test results, why... would he invite her to the park to play ball happily?
She thought he wanted to celebrate her progress on the exam with her...
She didn't ask, so she thought too much!
Hearing this, the young man sighed softly, stood up, and looked at the joyful and lively crowd in the distance. He slowly said, "Gan Mei, everything is my fault. Chasing is a very tiring and painful thing. I am in the process and don't know what the final result will be..."
Once the results came out, she and he were like heaven and earth, one in heaven and the other in hell. How could their relationship last?
"But I want to do my best and give it my all, without regrets or regrets." The young man said calmly and seriously, "In this final sprint, there's only one chance, and I have to seize it."
The wind started to blow again, and the dark clouds were unable to block out the sun. After trying, they slipped away quietly without leaving a trace.
Putting on her backpack and standing up, the girl lowered her head and sighed. Then she raised her head again, her eyes firm and understanding as she said, "I understand. I understand everything."
The sun shines down, covering the girl, making her look full of brilliance, bright, dazzling, graceful and moving.
The young man's heart was beating and trembling.
"Gao Shuai." The girl called him and smiled lightly. "From now on, you study hard, and so will I. It's not easy to move up one place in this monthly exam. We all need time."
She understood what he meant.
Everyone has academic pressure. If you can't concentrate, all obstacles must be cleared.
Everyone is the same.
"I..." The young man sighed secretly, holding back the words he wanted to say, and said calmly, "It's getting late, I, let you go home!"
The girl nodded and responded softly.
Putting on his backpack and picking up the desserts the girl had prepared for his two cousins, the boy clenched his palms, forced a smile, and turned away.
Bathed in the soft sunlight, the young man in white seemed to walk into the light, looking as handsome as when we first met.
She knew that he slowed down his pace and was waiting for her.
Tall and handsome...
From now on, will all she see be a familiar figure from behind?
Time passes silently and without a trace.
The leaves move in the wind, rustling in clusters. There is a different scenery in every corner of the campus.
Thinking of the afternoon when they parted silently, a helpless smile appeared at the corner of her sweet lips.
They hadn't known each other for long, but they got along very well, as if they had known each other for a long time. They admired each other, had a tacit understanding, had topics to talk about, and...
She likes his...
But she...
She laughed at herself and shook her head: I had just promised him to take good care of myself, but before I knew it, someone who rarely gets sick ended up sick.
On Saturday night, the night was as cool as water, the moon as thin as paper. Standing on the balcony of her room, she couldn't help but stare blankly for a while longer, lost in thought...
As a result, people who were exposed to the cold wind felt dizzy and caught a cold after sleeping.
Fortunately, the symptoms are mild and will be gone in a few days.
Actually, she is rarely like this!
In the distance, the sound of school team athletes running training could be faintly heard. At this time, most of the students should have left school and were going home.
And she was reluctant to go back.
The tree in front of me is still tall; the girl's eyes are full of affection.
The wind blew quietly, and suddenly, the girl in school uniform took a step, like an innocent elf, and walked around the big tree.
Memories are like a slow-motion movie, with each step under her feet forming a fragment. All the scenes are hidden in her heart, and she lingers on them deeply.
The yellow leaves fell a few more times. The girl stopped and sighed silently.
Time slipped away, the sky fell, and it was time for her to go home.
The girl's back is still graceful, but under the autumn colors, she can't hide her loneliness.
In an empty corner, the young man in white stopped for a moment, watching the familiar slender figure slowly disappear into the distance. His hands unconsciously clenched into fists, no longer lingering, and he turned around and walked away quietly.
