After dinner, Xu Zhiyi held the vocabulary manual, leaned on the railing and looked into the distance.
Zhang Ningxia bit the ice cream and kept talking.
"Zhiyi, don't listen to Gao Xingxing's nonsense. I think you are the most qualified person in our class to present flowers."
Xu Zhiyi didn't answer. At this moment, her attention was attracted by the figure on the basketball court.
Song Chengrui is playing basketball.
The setting sun dyed his figure golden. He jumped up and shot the ball. The ball drew a parabola in the air and landed accurately in the basketball hoop. Everyone cheered.
Xu Zhiyi unconsciously scratched the edge of the vocabulary book with her fingernails.
"Did you hear me?" Zhang Ningxia pushed her.
"Listening..." She answered absentmindedly, but her eyes were fixed on Song Chengrui lifting his clothes to wipe the sweat off his face.
Seeing his exposed waistline, Xu Zhiyi suddenly felt her face getting hot and she quickly looked away.
At this time, laughter broke out in the field.
Song Chengrui turned his head to look at the teaching building, his eyes sweeping across the corridor on the second floor.
Xu Zhiyi squatted down in a hurry, and the vocabulary book fell on the back of her foot.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Ningxia asked.
"I've been standing for so long that my legs are numb..." she stammered, and only stood up slowly after making sure that Song Chengrui didn't see her.
Her wet handprints were left on the railing.
"Why don't we go into the classroom? It doesn't matter if we recite for a minute less."
Zhang Ningxia ate half of the ice cream and saw that Xu Zhiyi was indifferent, so he stopped trying to persuade her.
People are coming and going downstairs of the teaching building, most of them are looking for a cool place to memorize their lessons.
The school has gone crazy recently and has made it mandatory for students to keep their books in hand even during breaks.
Xu Zhiyi felt that these requirements were very much the result of a struggle between the left and right brains of the school leaders.
As the sun sets, the sky gradually becomes stained with a soft amber color.
Xu Zhiyi saw Xie Lin appear on the basketball court, and then Song Chengrui and another group of boys quickly came towards the teaching building.
Zhang Ningxia licked her ice cream and said, "Xie Lin really cares about Song Chengrui. She forced him to learn even though he didn't want to."
Xu Zhiyi said nothing, his eyes fell on Song Chengrui and Xie Lin.
"Don't you think so?"
When Zhang Ningxia suddenly asked this question, Xu Zhiyi immediately turned his attention back and pretended to concentrate on looking at the vocabulary book.
"Huh? What?"
"Xie Lin and Song Chengrui, don't you know? I heard they both had childhood engagements."
Xu Zhiyi was stunned, a little surprised, "What era is it now? How can this still happen?"
"Yeah, Gao Xingxing said that this was decided by Song Chengrui's mother and Xie Lin's mother. Their mothers were best friends in college and later got married in Jiangchuan. They have a very good relationship. This is normal, right?"
Xu Zhiyi raised his head, with a hint of loss in his eyes, and the letters on the vocabulary book in his hand gradually became blurred.
Yes, the one who is close to the water gets the moon first, so it is normal that they have a good relationship.
As soon as the two finished talking, Zhang Ningxia gave them a look.
Xu Zhiyi heard the boys' laughter coming from the corridor.
Someone joked: "Xie Lin, do you really want to be like this? Isn't it enough for you to take care of Song Chengrui alone? Is it necessary to take care of everyone else?"
The boy's words caused a burst of laughter. Xie Lin immediately fought back, glaring at the boy and warning him, "Zheng Yan! You're everywhere, but you're the only one who talks too much!"
As Song Chengrui and the others got closer, Xu Zhiyi felt more and more nervous. She subconsciously raised the vocabulary book to cover her face.
We are all in the same class, but when I suddenly look at him like this, I always feel a strange emotion surging in my heart.
Even through the crowd, she could spot him at a glance.
"Hey, do you want to go with me while I go buy some water?" Zhang Ningxia suddenly asked.
"Now?" Before Xu Zhiyi could react, Zhang Ningxia had already run away.
"Student Council! Save us!"
Zheng Yan called her suddenly. Xu Zhiyi raised her head in panic and was caught off guard by a pair of dark eyes.
At this moment, Song Chengrui was wearing a blue and white short-sleeved school uniform and dark gray shallow-mouth sneakers. He leaned lazily and casually at the classroom door, staring at her.
Xu Zhiyi had never looked him in the eye so directly before. She stood there in a daze for a moment without reacting.
Instead, Song Chengrui interrupted Zheng Yan with a playful smile, "It's no use asking the student council. With your math level, even a god can't help you."
After the excitement ended, Xu Zhiyi followed him into the classroom. At this moment, Zheng Yan was wailing in pain and praising the school teachers beautifully.
Xu Zhiyi said nothing, lowered his head and took out a test paper from the desk, but the words Zhang Ningxia had just said were still emerging in his mind.
After doing so many repetitive questions, Xu Zhiyi could know the answer immediately at a glance. She wrote words on the test paper with a ballpoint pen, but was thinking about other things in her mind.
"Song Chengrui, why don't you write it?"
In front of the desk, Xie Lin knocked on the desk angrily, as if arguing with Song Chengrui.
"I'm telling you, you have to write! Otherwise I'll never let you go!"
Song Chengrui acted indifferent and simply crumpled up the test paper and threw it on the table in front of Xie Lin.
"I won't write it."
"Song Chengrui!"
Xie Lin was completely angry.
Song Chengrui scratched his ear and said nonchalantly, "Just take care of yourself. Are you annoying?"
"Okay!" Xie Lin grabbed the test paper roughly, then rubbed it repeatedly in her hands until it became a ball, and threw it towards the trash can at the back door of the classroom.
"Just play it badly!"
"Ouch--"
The paper ball was thrown inaccurately and hit other students, causing boos.
That classmate was angry but dared not speak out.
Xie Lin is the math class representative of Class 1. She is an excellent student, optimistic and extroverted. She has a lot of friends both inside and outside the class. As long as she doesn't overdo it, there will always be a lot of people around her.
Although Xu Zhiyi is the class monitor, she doesn't pay much attention to other aspects except arranging learning tasks and managing class discipline.
If Xu Wangping hadn't insisted that she fight for the position of class leader, she wouldn't even want to be the student committee member. After all, apart from studying, she didn't want to bother with this aspect.
However, she also took advantage of her position to openly observe Song Chengrui's every move.
As the classroom ceiling light suddenly turned on with a crackling sound, Xu Zhiyi discovered that there was a lingering sweat stain on the back of Song Chengrui's school uniform.
After two hours of evening self-study, most of the students were too sleepy to lift their heads, but Xu Zhiyi was still writing English notes.
In this entrance exam, her English has regressed again.
Taking advantage of the gap in doing homework, Xu Zhiyi secretly looked at Song Chengrui in the front row. At this moment, he was sleeping on the desk, and a corner of his hair on his forehead was slightly raised, which looked a little funny.
"Zhiyi, do you want to go see the handsome guy?" Zhang Ningxia came running over, urging Xu Zhiyi.
"This year, a handsome guy came to Class 1 (4) of Senior High School. He's so handsome!"
"I... haven't finished my homework yet..." Xu Zhiyi was flipping through a book when Zhang Ningxia suddenly turned on her cell phone. On the screen was a photo of a boy at the classroom door. The boy in the photo had fair skin but an average appearance.
"How is it? Handsome, right? This guy—"
Zhang Ningxia suddenly fell silent.
At this moment, Xu Zhiyi's textbook sank down, and Song Chengrui's chin rested on it, and a warm breath gently drifted over.
"That's it?"
When Xu Zhiyi heard this, she bit her lower lip unconsciously and didn't dare to say anything more, for fear that if she said another word, Zhang Ningxia would chop her to pieces.
If someone else said this, Zhang Ningxia would definitely jump up and refute it immediately.
But Song Chengrui is a recognized handsome guy, and Zhang Ningxia can't help but be a fan of him in private.
Zhang Ningxia quickly put away his phone, stood up and smacked his lips.
"I think he's handsome, that's all. Zhiyi, if you don't go, I will."
Xu Zhiyi nodded.
I thought this was just a small episode, but the boy continued to turn his head towards Zhang Ningxia after she left.
Now, Xu Zhiyi really began to feel uneasy.
"Anything else?"
Song Chengrui rubbed his eyes lazily and asked, "Do you think that guy is handsome too?"
Xu Zhiyi was a little surprised. Does Song Chengrui care so much about this kind of thing?
Could it be the desire to win among boys?
But looking at the other person's eyes, it seemed that he was seriously asking for her opinion, so she answered truthfully.
"It's just okay."
When Song Chengrui heard this, he suddenly laughed.
Under the light, the boy's smile is eye-catching and makes people feel like they are in the spring breeze.
"You still have good vision."
The sudden praise made Xu Zhiyi a little stunned.
Song Chengrui looked at her homework, narrowed his eyes, and sat up straight.
"Didn't you do well on your last English test? Why are you writing it again?"
Xu Zhiyi was a little confused at the moment, and stopped writing. "Consolidate your knowledge. Actually, I did a little bad on the last test."
Song Chengrui looked at her: "Bad? What's wrong with that? You did so well in the exam."
“…” Xu Zhiyi didn’t know how to respond, so he didn’t say anything else.
Then I heard Song Chengrui continuing to talk about this topic.
"You know about the exchange meeting arranged by the school this time, right?"
Xu Zhiyi nodded.
"Mr. Xu wants to choose someone to present flowers. Do you have any ideas?"
"ah?"
Xu Zhiyi was stunned, and the test paper in her hand was wrinkled by her grip.
"I...I didn't, last time..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zheng Yan came closer with a smile and said, "Student Council member, Mr. Xu will definitely check the homework in math class tomorrow. Can you lend it to me to copy?"
Before Xu Zhiyi could answer, Song Chengrui suddenly reached out and pressed Zheng Yan's head, pulling him back: "Write it yourself, don't harm others."
His voice was lazy, but it inexplicably made Xu Zhiyi's ears hot.
Zheng Yan complained a little, feeling aggrieved, and ran away in shame.
Both sides fell into silence and neither spoke again.
Xu Zhiyi lowered her head and pretended to turn the pages of a book, but out of the corner of her eye she saw Song Chengrui leaning against the table, tapping the surface with his fingertips.
After school, Zhang Ningxia grabbed Xu Zhiyi's arm with a gossipy look on her face.
"Tell me, what did Song Chengrui discuss with you after class just now? You were laughing so happily, tell me about it and it will make me happy too."
When the three words "Song Chengrui" were mentioned, Xu Zhiyi felt like she was facing a great enemy. She secretly glanced around before daring to speak in a low voice.
"Nothing, just talking about the exchange meeting."
"Don't give me that!" Zhang Ningxia narrowed her eyes. "Is he trying to get you to present flowers?"
Xu Zhiyi paused, a look of surprise in his eyes.
"How is that possible?" she said softly.
But in a corner of my heart, a trace of expectation that I dare not admit quietly emerged.
