Little Heroine
The exercise ended successfully. Her junior partner Zheng Jing blushed and stuffed a cute Hello Kitty pink bag into her hand. He lowered his head and whispered to her to open it after returning to the classroom. After that, he ran away with red ears.
This was the scene Tan Zhao witnessed as he emerged from the crowd: a girl, still unaware of the bag being forced into her arms, and a boy, his ears red, running off. Chen Xiyu stared blankly at the gift, which was about the size of a camera bag, and even let out a "huh" when she received it. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Tan Zhao approaching her, his long legs stalking, but his pace becoming slower and slower.
Why did she feel that something was wrong with Tan Zhao's expression? What was going on inside? She had previously refuted others who said that Tan Zhao's face was simply handsome, but when he had no expression, he looked cold.
Chen Xiyu's foot injury has not yet fully healed, so she can't help but limp when she walks. She can walk much more normally with the support of others.
The campus was bustling with people after the sports meet. Tan Zhao said, "It's a bit crowded. Let me help you."
On the way, Chen Xiyu shook the gift bag and asked curiously, "What do you think is inside? My junior partner gave it to me before leaving today and asked me to open it in the classroom."
Tan Zhao turned his head away, snorted, and said proudly, "Chen Xiyu, I'm going to tell the teacher."
Chen Xiyu said "Hey", "What are you suing for, talking about the male god?"
"I'm telling you that you're not studying hard and are a bad influence on your classmates."
Chen Xiyu twisted his arm and asked, "How could I have that?"
"At most, you can say he led his deskmate astray."
Chen Xiyu returned to the classroom and opened the gift package. Inside was a Hello Kitty doll, a bunch of candies and chocolates, and a small note.
"I've had a lot of fun filming with you these past two days! Senior Chen Xiyu, I like you. If you don't have a boyfriend, could you consider me?"
Chen Xiyu covered her mouth and read the note, feeling surprised.
"Are all the junior students nowadays so direct?"
At this time, Jiang Hui and Fiona Sit came back from outside, "Chen Xiyu and Tan Zhao, you two are arguing!"
"No," Chen Xiyu answered doubtfully.
"Then why does Tan Zhao feel unhappy?"
After Jiang Hui finished speaking, Chen Xiyu noticed the face of someone next to her. It was so dark that it could scare people who owed usury to pay back the money quickly.
"What's wrong with you kid?"
Then it dawned on me, “I must be jealous.”
At this time, Jiang Hui and Fiona Sit saw the unwrapped gifts on the table.
Jiang Hui: "This little guy is quite straightforward, but when I saw him yesterday, I thought he looked pretty good. He looked like some celebrity~"
Chen Xiyu: "Is he the second male lead in that recent hit drama?"
Jiang Hui: "Yes, yes, Wang Yue!"
Fiona Sit: "Which junior?"
"He's the junior who filmed with Yuzi these past two days."
"Oh, him, my opinion is that he is not as good as our male god Tan Zhao. Right, A Zhao?"
Tan Zhao's expression finally improved, from dark clouds to cloudy, "Of course, Cage's vision is unquestionable."
Chen Xiyu laughed, "Tan Zhao, you are just like Wang Po selling melons, boasting about your own products."
Jiang Hui: "I agree with what Cage said, the most handsome guy in our class is Tan Dayang."
Tan Zhao was trying to look cool by moving his bangs above his eyes, revealing his double eyelids and a pair of peach blossom eyes.
"Jiang Hui, you have a pretty good eye."
"You are all kids, why are you competing with a junior?"
Just as they thought their conversation was about to end, Fiona Sit and Jiang Hui returned to their seats.
Chen Xiyu heard a very quiet hum from the side.
"Who made him like you?"
She had been tidying up her desk when her hands suddenly froze. She secretly glanced at the person next to her. However, just as she glanced away, a vicious voice came over, "Chen Xiyu, don't look at me."
"Oh" Chen Xiyu made a face.
When she got home from school and was having dinner, her father asked her if the sports meet was fun. She said it was fun while she was eating rice.
"It's just that my participation has dropped significantly this year. I signed up for so many sports last year."
"You've always loved to move around since you were little. Mom said she wanted to ask for leave for you, but you just couldn't. Your leg injury hasn't fully healed yet, and there will be a lot of people coming and going at the sports meet."
"Mom, you've protected me so well. From childhood to adulthood, whenever I got hurt, you'd ask for leave. My classmates even laughed at me."
"What a joke! You're my only daughter, who else should I spoil if not you?"
Dad picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork for Chen Xiyu and said, "Yeah, who else should I spoil if not you?"
"There were so many people coming and going at the sports meet. Did you get bumped into anything, Nannan?"
"Of course not. This year I'm the photographer for the school sports meet. Oh, and I also have to direct photos tonight."
In the simple and lovely bedroom, Chen's mother brought a glass of milk, knocked on the door and came in.
"Nannan, have a glass of milk."
The girl sat at her computer, carefully sorting through photos from the past two days. Suddenly, she scrolled to a picture. Chen Xiyu remembered it was from Tan Zhao's 400-meter final. It was a familiar face: peach blossom eyes, thin double eyelids, long eyelashes, and beads of sweat on his forehead. The boy was running hard, the surrounding figures blurred, only one person in focus, as if he was the protagonist at that moment.
Chen Xiyu stared at the photo in a daze. Looking at the face, she couldn't help but sigh that Tan Zhao was worthy of being the recognized male god of the grade. His face and figure were really great.
Chen Xiyu swallowed unconsciously, and after reacting, she thought, "Oh my God, what is she doing!"
"Nannan, what are you looking at?"
Chen Xiyu was startled, "Oh, Mom, what are you doing? You scared me."
As he spoke, he quickly moved his hand to his chest.
"This guy is quite handsome."
Chen Xiyu quickly swiped down a few times.
Mother Chen put the milk on the table and asked, "Is this the boy who brought you back home last time you fell?"
"Hey, Mom, how did you know it was him?"
"Of course it comes from my mother's intuition."
"Mom, this is my deskmate, haha. Thank you for the milk."
Mother Chen gave Chen Xiyu a meaningful look and asked, "Tell me the truth, is it really just a classmate?"
Chen Xiyu said firmly at first, "Of course it is true."
But the thought "Who made him like you" suddenly came to my mind.
"Who made him like you?"
The original decisive momentum was instantly extinguished. Chen Xiyu suddenly became much more wilted, and the second half of the sentence he said was particularly unconfident, "It's a classmate."
Oh no, are they just classmates?
"Who made him like you?"
Is this something good friends would say? Why did she feel a little jealous? It sounded like something only someone liked would say.
At this time, the "culprit" who said this came to WeChat to "harass" her again.
Zhao Chaozhao: "What are you doing (emoticon package)"
Rain: “Choosing your ugly photos.”
Zhao Chaozhao: "? What ugly photo?"
Rain: "Sports Day"
"You now have the only chance to ask this photographer to delete your ugly photos."
"Naughty (emoticon)"
Zhao Chaozhao: "Joke"
"I don't have any ugly photos"
Rain: “Damn it!”
Chen Xiyu decided to change his words
Rain: "You have a unique chance now. You can ask this photographer to let me see your handsome photos first."
Zhao Chaozhao: “Not interested”
"But can I look at other people's?"
Eh, someone else's? Whose does he want to see?
Chen Xiyu typed and sent.
Rain: “Yes.”
"But I ask for a photographer like you."
After clicking send, the other party didn’t reply immediately this time.
Zhao Chaozhao: "Are you sure?"
Rain: “Of course.”
Chen Xiyu sent another emoji: "I like the way you can't stand me but can't get rid of me." Thinking of Tan Zhao on the other side of the screen, who must be furious and helpless, she collapsed on the table laughing.
Finally, a message came from the other side.
This time it was voice. I clicked on it and heard a magnetic voice.
Zhao Chao Zhao: "Sister Xiyu~"
"Please~"
The young man muffled his voice, causing Chen Xiyu to frown. He quickly stopped talking.
Rain: "stop"
“May there be no more clamps in the world”
Zhao Chaozhao: "Sister Xiyu, can we watch it now?"
Rain: “I can see it now, little clip”
He also sent an emoji of a little monk saying "Amitabha". The boy proudly sent a "Hahahaha" emoji.
Zhao Chaozhao: "I want to see"
"School Beauty's"
Chen Xiyu was a little confused when she saw the words on the computer screen. She scratched her head unconsciously, and her brain, which was not very smart to begin with, started working fast.
Campus Belle? Who is the campus belle of F High School?
On the other side, in Jinjiang Community, in Tan Zhao’s bedroom.
"Azhao, Azhao, come out and help." Tan's mother shouted outside the room.
Tan Zhao quickly responded, "Okay," and went out.
In Longfu Garden Community, in Chen Xiyu's bedroom.
Chen Xiyu asked "Who is the school belle?" but there was no reply for two minutes.
The girl spun around in her computer chair, her chin resting on her hand as she pondered. Who could it be? Could it be Yang Xiaoxiao? But Tan Zhao didn't know Yang Xiaoxiao well. Or perhaps it was one of the beautiful girls from Class 6's art class?
She opened Jiang Hui's chat box and typed quickly.
Rain: "Huihui, do you know who is the most beautiful girl in our school?"
"I know."
"Who is it?" Chen Xiyu hurriedly asked after hearing the affirmative answer.
"Of course it's Chen Xiyu from Class 23 and Jiang Hui from Class 23."
“…”
Jiang Hui replied with a mischievous emoticon.
"Lady Hui, if you don't answer the questions properly, I will banish you to the cold palace."
"Your Majesty, what did I say that was wrong?"
Although she didn't get a proper answer, Chen Xiyu and Jiang Hui had a very happy chat until Tan Zhao finally replied.
Zhao Chaozhao: "You don't even know who the school beauty is?"
Rain: “? Damn it!”
“I don’t allow anyone to know more than me.”
"Speak quickly"
Chen Xiyu posted another emoticon of a puppy holding a knife and looking fierce.
Zhao Chaozhao: "School Belle"
"Of course."
Chen Xiyu stared at the screen intently, very seriously. The last time he was so serious was when he was playing the maze game 4399.
Zhao Chaozhao: "Of course it is"
"My idol's deskmate"
"The monitor of Class 2-3 of Senior High School is Chen Xiyu."
Chen Xiyu smiled silently, "Me?"
Rain: “?”
"Are you kidding me, Xiao Zhaozi?"
Zhao Chaozhao: "No"
"School Belle, now it's your turn to keep your promise"
Chen Xiyu replied with an emoticon of a kitten running away with a can on its back.
Chen Xiyu found a photo of her taken by Jiang Hui and sent it to Tan Zhao.
In the photo, the girl has a high ponytail tied with a hair tie, sunlight streaming down her hair. She's wearing a red vest over her school uniform. Her face is turned sideways, revealing a fair complexion and rosy lips. Her bangs are drooping, and she lowers her head slightly as she adjusts the camera. In the sunlight, her hair is radiant and looks like it's glowing.
The image overlapped with the girl in his memory who stood in front of him to protect him after school and helped him repair the damaged blackboard newspaper.
"Today, this heroine will stand here and see who dares to bully him! What's wrong with being a little fat? Should I eat your rice or your meal?"
"Don't cry, I'll help you finish the blackboard newspaper. I'm the monitor of the class next door, so if they bully you next time, just tell me."
Tan Zhao, who received this photo at the moment, looked at it for a long time, thinking of the memory he could not forget. He saved it silently, collected it, and set it as the chat background.
Because of his parents' divorce, Tan Zhao often traveled between two cities and changed schools frequently. Ever since his parents' divorce, Tan Zhao's life has been filled with instability, forcing him to constantly adapt to new environments. His memories are always unhappy, so he doesn't like to reminisce.
There was only one thing that made him think that there were still many beautiful people and things in life, and it made him learn to have eyes that could discover beauty.
Only one girl told him, "Don't be discouraged. If the world is divided into 100 parts, be a little simpler, a little more confused, a little happier, and we will still be in the happy part."
