Chapter 97: Finding the Fruit of Time
After putting down the phone, Ye Jing didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that Ning Yi was looking at her. She wanted to turn around to confirm several times, but gave up in the end.
After finally waiting until the evening self-study session was over, Ye Jing quickly packed up her things, picked up her schoolbag and hurriedly left the classroom. Her speed was incredibly fast, and Xie Fei couldn't help laughing when he saw her hurried back.
After washing up, it was almost twelve o'clock. Ye Jing quietly crawled into bed and lay down. In the quiet night, the breathing sounds of her roommates gradually falling asleep echoed in her ears, but Ye Jing tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep.
In the darkness, she gently took out her cell phone, turned it on, and stared at Ning Yi's last words on the screen in a daze.
This was not the first time she received a confession. Compared to those carefully prepared love letters and gifts, Ning Yi's confession seemed like a joke. However, just these few simple words made her heart so uneasy.
Her fingers slowly rubbed across the man's name on the screen, as if it was gently branded on her heart. She looked at his name as it was sketched stroke by stroke, and his appearance unconsciously appeared in her mind.
The faint smile on the corners of his mouth, the bright smile between his brows, the deep and pleasant voice, and even his fighting posture are so beautiful that they make people jealous.
His every smile, every move seemed alive, repeating over and over in his mind.
The more Ye Jing thought about it, the more she couldn't sleep.
Until the sky began to turn slightly white, Ye Jing finally fell into a drowsy sleep.
Ye Jing vaguely heard her roommate calling her in her sleep. When she opened her eyes, she found that it was already bright outside. She was startled and woke up immediately. She took out her cell phone and saw that it was already seven o'clock.
She quickly got up, changed clothes and washed up. While brushing her teeth, Ye Jing was thinking about how to face Ning Yi. When she looked up at the mirror, she was startled. She realized that her three roommates were standing behind her, drinking water or eating bread, looking at her with very strange expressions.
Ye Jing rinsed her mouth, turned around and looked at the others and asked, "Why are you looking at me like that?"
Xia Yiyuan ate the bread and said vaguely: "Well, you have a problem."
"No way—" Ye Jing took the washbasin from the side to collect water and retorted subconsciously.
Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Liu Xiaowei: "How can that be possible? You usually get up at six, but today you slept until seven. If we hadn't told you to, you might have slept until noon. Look at your two panda eyes, and you still say there's no problem. Who would believe me?"
Ye Jing looked up at the dark blue in her eyes and sighed, "I...had insomnia last night, so I didn't sleep well."
Yin Ran immediately asked, "So why are you suffering from insomnia?"
Why Insomnia?
Ye Jing wrung out the handkerchief and put it on her eyes. She thought for a long time and said quietly after a while, "Maybe it's... because of love."
Her voice was so low that the other three could hardly hear it. Although they didn't hear clearly what she said, the three of them sensed a hint of dejection in her tone. After looking at each other, they tacitly stopped asking questions.
Several people just entered the classroom as the morning self-study bell rang. Ye Jing subconsciously glanced at Xie Fei's seat. As usual, no one was there. At this moment, a familiar lazy voice suddenly came from above her head: "Good morning, monitor, why are you here just now? I can understand that I am a day student, but you live on campus."
Ye Jing turned her head and saw someone looking at her with an exceptionally bright smile. His eyes were filled with warm sunshine, which was really beautiful. She couldn't help swallowing her saliva and replied blankly, "Good morning."
"Hey, why are your eyes a little blue?" Xie Fei suddenly leaned over and moved closer to her face. Ye Jing's breathing stagnated, her neck subconsciously shrank back, and her body unconsciously took a step back. She opened her mouth and was about to speak, but he laughed in a muffled voice, "Think about what I think, monitor."
"Who misses you? Don't be so self-indulgent." Ye Jing retorted with eyes wide open.
She looked very pretty when she was angry. Xie Fei's eyes were filled with ripples. He looked at Ye Jing intently and raised his eyebrows. After a moment, he smiled with the corners of his lips bent, "You little liar who says one thing but means another. Just treat it as my own wish. After all, I've been thinking about you all night. If you don't miss me, I'll be very sad."
He also thought about himself all night!
Ye Jing's heart was instantly balanced. She couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth in a happy arc. Her bright eyes were shining, and her eyebrows were moving with a smile.
"Who is the little liar..." She glared at Xie Fei coquettishly, muttered in dissatisfaction, then turned around and walked towards her seat.
Little liar.
After sitting down, Ye Jing repeated it twice in her heart. This was clearly a derogatory word, but she felt a little bit of tender affection from it, and a trace of sweetness filled her heart and reached her lungs.
…
Ye Jing didn't have time to go to the cafeteria for lunch this morning. She had planned to buy a loaf of bread from the canteen during the half-hour break. However, the weather was not good. It was sunny just a moment ago, but suddenly it started to rain heavily.
Looking at the bean-sized raindrops outside the window, Ye Jing touched her rumbling stomach and sighed again and again.
I’m so hungry.
Unable to bear the hunger any longer, Ye Jing took a cup and prepared to drink some water to fill her stomach. Just as she was drinking the water, a bag of hot dumplings appeared in front of her. If it weren't for the strong aroma, she almost thought she was hallucinating due to hunger.
"Go on." That all-too-familiar voice came into my ears from the side.
For her?
Ye Jing reached out to take it, and slowly raised her head to look at Xie Fei. He was looking at her deeply, with raindrops on his hair, and his shirt was wet and stuck to his body, not to mention his trouser legs and shoes.
"What are you daydreaming about? Come and eat. Aren't you hungry?" Seeing that she was a little absent-minded, Xie Fei tapped Ye Jing on the forehead with his finger.
So, did he buy this specially for her? But how did he know he was hungry?
Ye Jing looked up at Xie Fei. His handsome face was filled with a charming smile, and his eyes were as gentle as water when he looked at her. With just this one glance, she began to believe that perhaps he really liked her.
Holding the hot steamed dumpling in the palm of her hand, the cold wind blowing from the corridor seemed to warm up. Ye Jing ate the dumpling in small bites, her curly eyelashes drooping, covering the affection that inadvertently leaked from her bright eyes.
Not long after the two returned to the classroom, the head teacher came in hurriedly, and everyone who was playing around quickly returned to their seats and sat down.
Wei Hong's face was gloomy, and he looked at everyone with sharp eyes, and said angrily: "This month's mobile red flag was awarded to Class 3 and Class 5. Our class was the only one among the three key classes that didn't get it. Not only did we not get it, we were also criticized by name!"
Hearing this, Ye Jing suddenly understood. No wonder Wei Hong was so angry. The head teachers of the three key classes have always disliked each other. No matter whether it is students' academic performance, class hygiene or classroom discipline, as long as it can be competed, they must be ranked first, second and third. The mobile red flag not only represents the honor of the class, but also Wei Hong's face. Now, not only is their class the only one without the mobile red flag, but what is more serious is that it has been criticized by name. This is simply bad news for Wei Hong.
The classroom was very quiet and no one dared to bring bad luck at this time.
"Squad leader." Wei Hong suddenly called out.
Ye Jing stood up quickly.
"You almost came late this morning, didn't you?" Wei Hong looked at her seriously. "As the monitor, you have to take the lead and set an example, otherwise everyone will follow your example..."
Ye Jing's face was burning hot. It was the first time in her life that she was criticized like this. All she could hear was a buzzing sound in her ears, as if dozens of pairs of eyes in the class were watching her make a fool of herself. In this situation, she had no idea what Wei Hong said.
Wei Hong vented her anger and felt much better. Looking at Ye Jing, who lowered her head and looked docile, she felt that she had gone too far. She cleared her throat and said, "Sit down. This won't happen again."
Ye Jing nodded blankly and subconsciously sat down as she said.
After a pause, Wei Hong looked at the people in the back row, especially the transfer students who had just arrived this semester. They were the epitome of bad students, arriving late and leaving early, and their test scores were terrible, dragging down the class's average score by an unknown amount. But there was nothing to be done, as these three were sent in by the principal.
Wei Hong was upset, but said helplessly: "Ning Yi, I know you don't like studying, and it's understandable that you have poor test scores, but you should also consider our class to the best of your ability. After all, you are a member of the class, and things like being late or leaving early can still be avoided. As for what you want to do after school, it's up to you..."
Xie Fei stared at his phone, fiddling with something. After hearing Wei Hong's words, he lazily said, "Teacher, it's not that I don't want to get up early, but I sleep until eight o'clock. What can I do?"
"Then set the alarm." Wei Hong said.
"I don't like it." Xie Fei shook his head. "That noise is too annoying. It gives me a headache."
"That's good. If you are annoyed and can't sleep, then you can get up." Wei Hong smiled with satisfaction.
Xie Fei looked up at Wei Hong, a faint smile on his face, and said leisurely: "In that case, I might not be late, but skipping class, teacher."
The smile on Wei Hong's face froze, and she became even more displeased with Ning Yi. She looked at the student with a headache, but she couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so she turned to Ye Jing and said, "Class monitor, I'll leave this matter to you. Think of a satisfactory solution for Ning Yi so that he can get up early and not be late."
"Ah?" Ye Jing was a little confused when she was suddenly called, especially for such a tricky matter.
"This concerns the honor of our class, so you, squad leader, must take it seriously. I don't want to miss the mobile red flag again next month." After Wei Hong said this, he left without giving Ye Jing time to react.
Ye Jing was helpless. At this moment, Xie Fei slowly walked in front of her, raised his eyebrows slightly, and glanced at her with a smile: "Squad leader, do you have any good ideas?"
"I haven't thought about it yet." Ye Jing looked at him thoughtfully and said lightly.
"Oh, in that case, I have a good idea." Xie Fei smiled softly, "Would you like to hear it?"
