Poetry
I know in my heart that I shouldn't get close to you, and if I get any closer I'll make a mistake.
But Xu Zhiyi couldn't help it, and took advantage of the crowd to quietly move to sit near the basketball court.
When Zhang Ningxia found her, she was sweating profusely.
"Oh, I've been looking for you for a long time. Why don't you sit down in the shade and rest?"
Xu Zhiyi lowered his head and explained: "It was too boring. There were too many people here, so I came here."
Zhang Ningxia took a look at the basketball court, immediately understood, and sat down immediately.
"Oh, I was thinking, someone is down there too."
Xu Zhiyi smiled and said nothing.
Suddenly, Song Chengrui made a three-pointer on the court, and there was a cheer from the audience. The girls were chattering and discussing Song Chengrui's name.
Song Chengrui was also very proud. The corners of his mouth rose wildly, and his hands waved slightly, making a gesture of "keep cheering", which made the others even crazier.
Zhang Ningxia complained on the side, "To be honest, if this guy wasn't Song Chengrui, I really want to kick him. His tail is about to rise to the sky."
Xu Zhiyi still smiled secretly.
Song Chengrui is like this. You can’t tell what’s special about him in class, but when he gets to the basketball court, he’s the boss.
"Song Chengrui, come on!"
"Song Chengrui, come on!"
Xu Zhiyi stared at a group of girls beside the steps, and suddenly felt a little sad. At this moment, she didn't even dare to call his name like that.
Through the crowd, Xu Zhiyi saw that Song Chengrui suddenly turned around, and his eyes were looking in the direction where she was.
Feeling the other person's gaze, Xu Zhiyi looked around and found that he quickly shifted his gaze.
"Zhi Yi——"
Zhang Ningxia patted Xu Zhiyi, a little excited, "Just now, was Song Chengrui looking at you on purpose?"
"Is there...?" Xu Zhiyi couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"Yes! Of course I am. I'm just looking at you."
"That's impossible..."
"It must be—"
"You believe me." Zhang Ningxia suddenly stood up. "If you don't believe me, I'll ask him now!"
"I believe it!" Xu Zhiyi suddenly grabbed Zhang Ningxia and frowned, "What are you doing? Sit down quickly."
Zhang Ningxia smiled triumphantly, "You're still refusing to admit it. I'm telling you, I've noticed a long time ago that you really care about someone."
Xu Zhiyi looked at the figures below the stage, feeling both excited and worried.
In the afternoon English class, Xu Zhiyi didn't listen to a single word, and even made mistakes in many questions on the in-class test that he shouldn't have made.
Qin Mingyue, her deskmate, glanced at her while holding the test paper, and asked with a hint of worry, "Xu Zhiyi, did you not sleep well at noon?"
Xu Zhiyi stared at the red line on the test paper, shook his head, and said sadly: "It's okay, I was just too careless."
Xu Zhiyi didn't talk to Song Chengrui the whole afternoon. Everyone had more and more homework, so they stopped chatting in the corridor during breaks. Most of them lay on their desks to catch up on sleep or do their homework.
It seemed as if Song Chengrui never had to do homework. His seat was always empty during breaks.
They would either lie on the railing outside the classroom and chat with others, or chase and play in the classroom, and sometimes even play poker at the back of the classroom.
The school has always banned these things, but every policy has its own countermeasures.
Some students make a hole in the middle of a thick dictionary to hide playing cards. The teacher cannot find them normally, and they can take them out and play with them in their free time, killing two birds with one stone.
However, this afternoon, every time the get out of class was over, Song Chengrui disappeared on time and no one knew where he went.
After dinner, Xu Zhiyi had just applied the medicine and was sitting alone in her seat doing her English exercise book. She had just finished the cloze exercise when suddenly someone put a four-leaf clover on her exercise.
She raised her head and saw Song Chengrui's sunny face.
She was a little surprised and a little nervous.
"What are you...doing?"
"I heard that four-leaf clover represents luck. Look how lucky I am. I found one too."
Song Chengrui sat down excitedly and signaled Xu Zhiyi to accept it with his eyes.
Xu Zhiyi saw the excitement in his eyes, but didn't dare to show it. She just said "Oh" lightly and said, "That's quite lucky."
"certainly."
Song Chengrui had a proud look on his face, "Zheng Yan and the others searched for a long time but couldn't find a second one."
"How's your leg?"
"Are you feeling better?"
"Much better."
Xu Zhiyi held the pen and lowered her head to do her homework. She didn't dare to look up and look at him, for fear that her emotions would be noticed by him.
"Oh, that's fine."
"Also, this four-leaf clover has a luck bonus! Don't disbelieve it."
Song Chengrui didn't ask too many questions and turned away happily.
Realizing that the other party seemed to no longer be staring at him, Xu Zhiyi quietly raised his head and secretly looked at his back.
Since his leg injury, most of the organizing power of the sports meeting has fallen into the hands of Gao Xingxing and Song Chengrui.
Sometimes during lunch break, Xu Zhiyi would see Gao Xingxing and Xie Lin discussing cheerleading formations. She wanted to join in, but Gao Xingxing would squeeze her out with just a few words. The scene was really awkward.
Every autumn rain brings a chill, and at the end of September, the weather gradually became cooler.
Xu Zhiyi's leg injury had almost healed. She stood at the edge of the playground and saw her classmates practicing cheerleading seriously, so she decided to go and say a few words.
She found Gao Xingxing.
"Gao Xingxing."
Gao Xingxing was happily discussing with others, but when he heard Xu Zhiyi's voice, the smile on his face quickly disappeared.
"what?"
Xu Zhiyi handed over a bottle of soda water. "You've been talking for so long, you must be thirsty. This is for you."
Gao Xingxing didn't answer, and said calmly: "I'm not thirsty."
Xu Zhiyi smiled slightly, took another step forward, and stuffed the water directly into Gao Xingxing's hand, raising his voice a few degrees.
"The sports meet is a class event. How can we let you get tired alone? Take a break, I'll help you."
She waved her hand, signaling everyone to be quiet and listen to her.
"Just now I saw that the order of some formations needs to be adjusted. Let's take a five-minute break and then we can re-arrange the positions later, okay?"
"Can!"
Gao Xingxing's expression changed as he held the water bottle. When he heard others agree naturally, he had to grit his teeth and accept it.
Zhang Ningxia ran out of the team and secretly gave her a thumbs up.
"Okay, that's a good move."
Xu Zhiyi secretly pursed her lips and said, "Keep a low profile."
Zhang Ningxia was curious, "How did you suddenly figure it out? Didn't you ignore it for a while?"
Xu Zhiyi quietly explained, "My legs hurt a while ago, and my English dropped so much that I didn't have the energy to care about this. Now that I'm stable, I must do this well. Otherwise, it will be our class that will be embarrassed. I don't want our class to lose to other classes."
"Wow, you have quite the team spirit, Xu."
"Of course, Zhang, we are members of the Communist Youth League. Unity must come first!"
"Haha, what a stinker!"
"Ha ha--"
Laughter and joyful cheers were scattered in a corner of the playground. On the steps not far away, a boy was leaning against the railing, looking over here with a burning gaze.
As the monthly exam approaches, fewer students start to play around in the classroom, and everyone is racing against time to review.
However, there are also a few students who try to find something to do despite the hardship.
While doing the Chinese test paper, Xu Zhiyi glanced sideways and saw that her deskmate Qin Mingyue was behaving strangely. She tilted her head and watched for a long time before she saw that she was secretly cutting off some words on the Chinese test paper with a knife.
"Qin Mingyue, what are you doing?"
Qin Mingyue was suddenly called by her name and was startled for a moment.
She glanced at Xu Zhiyi, and then said excitedly,
"Hey, I'm writing poetry."
"Write poetry?"
"Yes." Qin Mingyue took out a thick notebook and handed it to Xu Zhiyi, "Take a look, this is my collection of poems."
Xu Zhiyi frowned and took the so-called poetry collection, a little surprised. She had never even noticed that Qin Mingyue had these things.
She opened the first page of the notebook, which was covered with stickers and stills of Liu Yifei, and in the middle were two words written in highlighter.
Taoyuan.
She then turned to the second page. On the entire page of the notebook was some cut-out words, neatly pasted in a row, about seven or eight lines.
surge
Life has been running wildly in the boundless wilderness
Singing all the way
Bitter all the way
Maybe sometimes I feel doubtful
Maybe sometimes my heart is as clear as a mirror
Hypocrisy, superiority, power, wealth
Abandon all
A young gentleman is not afraid of wind and rain
quiet
The chirping of cicadas in summer is a grand ritual
Falling leaves bring news of autumn
The changing seasons
The story continues
Some secrets should be left behind.
…
Xu Zhiyi continued to flip through the book for a long time and was shocked after finishing it.
"You wrote all this yourself?"
"Um."
“It’s so well written.”
"No, it's just random writing, not very good. Let me tell you, I've seen other people's poems before, wow, they're absolutely amazing, especially Gao Xingxing. She's good at Chinese to begin with, and her poems are even more profound. It's a pity I forgot what the original text was, otherwise I would definitely show it to you. She's so talented."
Xu Zhiyi was a little surprised. "So you cut up the test paper, and you don't need it? What if you need it later?"
Qin Mingyue pointed to the table, where the original test papers were neatly placed.
"I always ask for two extra Chinese test papers because they have more words on them and are easier to spell."
"Okay." Xu Zhiyi realized that her worries were in vain. She returned the notebook to Qin Mingyue. "The monthly exam is coming soon. If you're still working on this, won't it interfere with your studies?"
Qin Mingyue sighed, "My grades aren't that good anyway, so doing this will help me relax and not be so nervous."
Xu Zhiyi reminded her, "You should hurry up and review. Maybe you can make some progress."
"There's nothing I can do. I'm not as smart as you. I wouldn't be able to remember even if I learned it."
“How can you know if you don’t learn?”
After Xu Zhiyi finished speaking, he handed the test paper from Qin Mingyue to her and said, "Hurry up and write. We need to collect it later."
"I don't want to write." Qin Mingyue still couldn't put down the little gadget in her hand.
"Hurry up." Xu Zhiyi turned around and took her knife. "Write quickly, or I won't return it to you."
Although Qin Mingyue was a little reluctant, since the student council member said so, she did not refute it. She picked up the pen obediently and started to write the questions seriously.
As she wrote, she complained: "Student Councillor, I feel like you have the temperament of the class teacher."
Xu Zhiyi: “…”
"Qin Mingyue, if you don't do your homework seriously, I won't collect your homework later. Just wait."
Qin Mingyue muttered, "It's even more like it."
