surprise
Xu Zhiyi stared at his hands in a daze.
Song Chengrui put a small bag in her hand.
Xu Zhiyi looked up at him with a look of surprise in his eyes, "This is..."
"It's for you."
Song Chengrui withdrew his hand, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes, "Open it and take a look."
Xu Zhiyi hesitated and opened the bag in her hand. Inside was an exquisite little box with a bow on it. Inside was an exquisitely crafted hairpin. The hairpin did not have a pattern of a kitten fishing on it, but a sweet-scented osmanthus shape made of light pink satin, and the petals were dotted with crystal crystals.
This design is totally thoughtful and unique.
"Did you buy this?"
Xu Zhiyi suddenly remembered the double money from the handicraft shop and was a little surprised. Could it be that at that time...
Song Chengrui was a little embarrassed. "I saw you looking at the photo frame so seriously, and I thought you would like it too. But... this is the pattern I designed myself, because the grandfather said there was no extra material... I wonder if you would mind it being like this..."
His voice was lower than usual, and his eyes were tentative and cautious.
Xu Zhiyi looked at the small hairpin in her palm, and the softest part of her heart was suddenly hit hard.
The tip of her nose suddenly felt sore, and her eyes turned red. She shook her head desperately and spoke her heart out through gritted teeth.
"No, I like it very much."
Xu Zhiyi didn't dare to do anything too extreme. She only dared to say the first half of the sentence and didn't dare to express her true thoughts.
"Then... I'll help you put it on..." Song Chengrui's voice was trembling at this moment, fearing that Xu Zhiyi would reject him the next second.
"Hmm..." Xu Zhiyi stretched out her hand, handed him the hairpin, and subconsciously lowered her head.
Song Chengrui took the hairpin and carefully pinned it on the side of her hair. Xu Zhiyi's cheeks were flushed at this moment, and she looked particularly gentle and charming under the setting sun.
“It’s really beautiful.”
Song Chengrui couldn't help but say this.
Xu Zhiyi raised her head, reached out and touched the hairpin on the right side of her head. Her eyes seemed to be filled with stars, shining brightly.
She took a deep breath and took a small step towards Song Chengrui.
The next second, she reached out and gently held Song Chengrui's hand. His palms were slightly sweaty.
She swore that this was the most daring and outrageous action she had ever taken in her life.
"Thank you!"
Song Chengrui's whole body froze. The huge joy hit him, making him almost unable to utter a word. His whole body was roaring with excitement.
Although Xu Zhiyi's voice was soft, Song Chengrui heard it clearly.
After saying this, she immediately let go of Song Chengrui's hand and rushed into the community like a frightened rabbit without looking back.
Song Chengrui was still immersed in the huge shock. When he reacted, the other party had disappeared without a trace.
He stood there without moving, suppressing his laughter at first, then laughing louder and louder, until the passers-by around him looked at him frequently, thinking that he was crazy.
Standing at the gate of Xu Zhiyi's community, he stood there for more than ten minutes before leaving reluctantly.
At this moment, Xu Zhiyi was walking home happily. Along the way, she kept thinking about her bold action just now.
She now feels so regretful that she was too impulsive.
But when she walked up the stairs, she could even hear her heartbeat accelerating. The hairpin on her temples seemed to still retain the warmth of Song Chengrui's palm. She subconsciously touched it gently, as if it was a priceless treasure.
"Zhiyi, you're back?"
As soon as Xu Zhiyi opened the door, he heard his mother's voice.
Xu Zhiyi was a little flustered and wanted to quickly take off the hairpin on her head, but she was too hurried and the hairpin was a little difficult to take off.
But when her mother saw her come back, she just smiled and didn't mention the hairpin. Instead, she told her to wash her hands and eat quickly.
When the family was having dinner, no one even noticed that she wore a new hairpin today.
But this did not affect her mood. She felt that this winter was getting hotter and hotter, and it was not cold at all.
The next day when she went to school, she deliberately left home ten minutes early, walked slowly at the entrance of the community, and then looked around, feeling both nervous and expectant about seeing someone.
"Are you looking for me?" A familiar voice came from behind.
Xu Zhiyi turned around and saw Song Chengrui riding a bike coming towards her from behind, smiling broadly.
"No." Xu Zhiyi denied in a low voice.
Song Chengrui noticed that she had specially braided her hair today and pinned a hairpin on the side, making her look like a princess.
"Let's go, I'll give you a ride."
Xu Zhiyi continued walking proudly, "No."
"Really?"
"don't want."
"Okay." Song Chengrui stopped where he was and raised his voice.
"Xu Zhiyi, I want to take you to school!"
"Xu Zhiyi, I want to take you to school!"
"May……"
"Sit, sit, sit!" Xu Zhiyi quickly sat in the back seat of the car, lowered his head and covered his face, patted Song Chengrui on the back, and urged him, "Hurry up, hurry up!"
Song Chengrui smiled contentedly and started pedaling his bike.
"Okay!"
The wind blew past her ears, and she tried hard to calm herself down, fearing that passers-by would hear her heartbeat.
The two of them were in tacit understanding and didn't say a word along the way.
A subtle and sweet atmosphere spread between the two of them, and silence was more powerful than words at this moment.
When they were almost at the school gate, Xu Zhiyi gently tugged at the corner of his clothes and said, "Let's stop here. It's not good to go any closer."
Song Chengrui squeezed the brake and nodded, "Then wait for me."
Xu Zhiyi got out of the car and stood not far from the door, looking around for a while, intending to leave first, but Song Chengrui parked the car and quickly caught up with her.
"Why don't you wait for me?"
Xu Zhiyi frowned and whispered, "There are so many people, they will be seen."
Song Chengrui has always been the focus of the crowd. If I go in with Song Chengrui alone, I will probably become the focus of the crowd immediately.
"What are you afraid of? We are not monsters."
After saying that, Song Chengrui and Xu Zhiyi walked side by side. However, there were few people around this morning, and some classmates noticed them, but they quickly passed by.
"Hey! Brother Rui!"
When they walked to the square, they bumped into a few boys from the school team. Seeing the atmosphere between the two, they immediately started gossiping.
"What's going on? There's a girl with me."
For the first time ever, Song Chengrui didn't curse back at the person opposite him. Instead, he smiled and said, "Get out of here! Don't block the way."
Those people ran away screaming, and they seemed to understand the rhythm. You could even hear whistles when they ran far away.
Xu Zhiyi lowered his head and said nothing.
Song Chengrui quickly followed, "Those wild men are screaming, just don't take it seriously."
Xu Zhiyi became even more shy and quickened her pace, leaving Song Chengrui behind.
When they arrived in the classroom, Xu Zhiyi found an opportunity and gave the hairpin to Zhang Ningxia.
When Zhang Ningxia saw this, her eyes lit up and she wanted to kneel down to Xu Zhiyi on the spot.
"How much?"
“20.”
"Wow! Sis, you're amazing!"
Zhang Ningxia hugged Xu Zhiyi and cried, calling him awesome, while the others looked as if they were used to it.
However, Zhang Ningxia was also sharp-eyed and noticed the hairpin on Xu Zhiyi's head, and was a little surprised. "Hey, where did you make this... too?"
Xu Zhiyi gave a vague "hmm" as an answer to the question.
Zhang Ningxia looked carefully at Xu Zhiyi's energetic appearance, and with the corners of her mouth raised from time to time, she made a conclusion on the spot.
"wrong……"
"You have a situation!"
Xu Zhiyi's expression changed immediately and he turned to look at her, "Is it so obvious?"
It's over, exposed.
This sentence completely revealed her thoughts. Zhang Ningxia pressed the issue, "Tell me, is there some little secret that I don't know about? Come on, come over here!"
She glanced at Song Chengrui's position and suddenly realized, "Oh, I see, it's Song Chengrui, right!"
Xu Zhiyi immediately covered her mouth and reminded her, "Keep your voice down, do you want everyone to know?"
Zhang Ningxia raised an eyebrow. "Wow, when did this happen? Hmm? How far has it progressed?"
Xu Zhiyi couldn't persuade her, so she could only tell her about going out for dinner and giving gifts on the weekend. She didn't go into details, but even so, Zhang Ningxia was still very excited.
"Of course, Zhiyi, it's different the first time you do it." She looked at the hairpin and commented, "It's really unique, it suits you very well, and it looks great! Song Chengrui usually looks so carefree, but he's actually quite considerate at critical moments."
She lowered her voice, "So...are you guys together?"
Xu Zhiyi was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know..."
In fact, she didn't know what this was. Neither of them mentioned it. Besides, she didn't know whether she should continue like this.
On Song Chengrui's side, the situation was directly open. Most of the players on the basketball court kept in touch with each other. After the commotion in the morning, almost everything was clear now.
Occasionally, Song Chengrui would perform a handsome dunk, and a group of people would tease him on the spot. Song Chengrui would just smile, neither admitting nor denying it.
With the approach of final exams, the pressure is getting greater and greater, and even the time for rest is getting less and less.
The students' resting place was gradually reduced from the playground to the corridor at the classroom door, and everyone's favorite gossip after dinner was the secret love affair in the class.
Gradually, no matter how well Xu Zhiyi hid it, the rumors gradually spread into Class 1's classroom.
Usually when she distributed homework, as soon as she walked to the door, someone would tease Song Chengrui.
"Song Chengrui, come quickly, your job is here!"
As for Song Chengrui, he also looked indifferent. He walked towards Xu Zhiyi very openly and helped her distribute the homework.
Sometimes Xu Zhiyi didn't want to be like this, but when the teacher asked questions in class, he would occasionally call her name and Song Chengrui's name, and a bunch of people in the audience couldn't help but make a noise, making a tone of understanding. Naturally, after many times, the teachers seemed to have vaguely guessed their relationship.
But no one tried to stop their relationship, and Xu Zhiyi was in a good mood, and her studies also improved by leaps and bounds. She always got full marks in math, which drew praise from Xu Dongxing.
A week before the end of the semester, after evening self-study, Xu Zhiyi waited downstairs of the teaching building as usual, waiting for Zhang Ningxia to leave together.
But after waiting for ten minutes, Zhang Ningxia still didn't come downstairs. She became a little anxious and went back upstairs.
When she turned the corner, she saw Zhang Ningxia being stopped on the stairs by a boy.
She ran up quickly.
“Ningxia!”
When Zhang Ningxia heard Xu Zhiyi's voice, she suddenly felt like she was saved. She quickly grabbed her hand and wanted to leave.
But the other party blocked her way again.
"Zhang Ningxia, you haven't answered my question yet!"
