Huang Dan’s mouth was filled with the taste of blood, and his lower lip was bruised and split. He used up most of the pack of wipes.

The most bumpy time was in high school. No matter how careful Huang Dan was, he couldn’t avoid it. Students at this time are obviously still very young, but they can’t wait to become mature and behave like adults. It’s inevitable to make a mess.

Huang Dan took out another tissue to wipe his tears. Smelling the faint fragrance, he suddenly spoke, with a clear cry in his voice, “Come out.”

No one responded.

Huang Dan added another sentence, “Classmate, I know you are here, thank you for the wipes.”

Still no response.

From the time when he was young to his thirty, all the way through for so many years, whether other people’s love was overt or covert, and which way it was cultivated, was no longer a surprise to Huang Dan. It was as bland and tasteless as a cup of boiled water.

There are many ways to fall in love, and those who have a crush more or less have a few things in common. They would be a coward and have very low self-esteem. Just like the classmate who secretly gave him the wet tissue, didn’t dare to stand in front of him and could only hide behind.

Maybe until one day they will be braver and muster up the courage to walk up to him and say “I have liked you for a long time” with a blushing face, or maybe they will never take that step.

After going through those several time travels, Huang Dan understood one thing. It is a beautiful thing to like someone and be liked. He has been adored for so many years. He is very lucky, and grateful to those people for liking him.

The tissue only appeared in the first year of high school, which meant that this person’s secret love lasted for a year. Huang Dan hesitated for a moment, but still didn’t say anything else. Those two sentences just now were already a mistake and could not be repeated. He didn’t want to change the other person’s original life trajectory because he said something he shouldn’t have said.

He couldn’t bear the consequences.

After all, this is just a thing of the past, everything has happened. He came back and also received a task, just to watch the love letter, but not to change anyone’s fate.

Don’t look for trouble for yourself, let alone try to influence anyone’s destiny. That’s too absurd and too naive, and he can’t do that.

Because of this, Huang Dan has to suffer limitations in all respects. He and Jiang Long will be good friends in the future, and they know how each other has lived in the past fourteen years, in that way he can be in touch with the other without so many worries. As for the other classmates who he would not interact with in the future and had long since lost contact with, he had too many worries. He was afraid that he might accidentally do something or say something at a turning point in someone’s life.

For example, Chen Yue, Huang Dan knew that he would be a cushion for him in the near future, waited a little longer and he would accidentally learn that one of the love letters in his desk pocket was written by the other party, and would stutter when confessing to him on the playground afterwards. The last news about the other person was that he was on leave for the second semester.

This is a part of Chen Yue’s youth, and the turning point is to drop out of school. Huang Dan must not touch any part, so his attitude must be the same as before.

In order to avoid changing anyone’s life trajectory, Huang Dan can not have real access, and won’t learn much either. He was like this to Chen Yue, other students in the class, and other classes. There was no way to search for traces of that person. He could only stand still and wait for that person to reveal information that he could directly confirm, not just suspicion.

After Huang Dan left, Chen Yue came out from the corner. He had run away, but couldn’t help but run back when he heard those two sentences.

Before Chen Yue met Huang Dan, he lived a wanton life. He had never found himself to be a timid and cowardly person, and no one would say that about him as well. Those words had nothing to do with his lifestyle.

But after Chen Yue met Huang Dan, the other party just glanced at him casually and didn’t take him seriously. Instead, it was him who turned his head away in a panic and used all childish words and deeds to cover up his inferiority.

The results are all guaranteed to be first place, one is at the top and the other is at the bottom, which actually doesn’t matter. Among the girls who chase Chen Yue, many of them have top grades, are versatile, and are excellent in all aspects. He didn’t think he was any worse at all.

If they can be friends, be friends. If they can’t be friends, be classmates. If they can’t be classmates, then just do whatever they like. It doesn’t matter.

For Chen Yue, the biggest difference between Huang Dan and those outstanding people is temperament. There is an innate sense of distance that makes people feel ashamed.

Chen Yue felt that Huang Dan was like the sun in the sky. He could look up at it, but there was no way he could get close to it, let alone take it for himself.

Knowing this, he still can’t help but want to have it.

Chen Yue doesn’t like to dream, but now he feels like he is dreaming, dreaming every day.

Looking at the place where Huang Dan had been, Chen Yue walked over, followed his example and squatted down, and took out the five-pointed star a little at a loss, “Damn it, why did I meet you that day? It would be great if I didn’t meet you. No, it would be better if I met you.”

Chen Yue spoke incoherently. He held the five-pointed star in his hand, lowered his head and said, “If I hadn’t met you, I wouldn’t have gone to high school, nor would I have appeared in Daguan.”

“I hated going to school, but now I really like it because I can see you. I wish I didn’t even have Saturdays and Sundays off. Do you think I’m stupid?”

When he caught a glimpse of a small wallet on the ground next to him, Chen Yue’s eyes widened. After he came to his senses, he found the small wallet in his hand. His eyes widened even more, “Fuck, how did I became a pervert?……”

“Fuck, you fell in love with a man and then went through other people’s wallets, Chen Yue, why are you so shameless? Oh no, you’re really done for, your whole life is gone to the dogs.”

Chen Yue opened the wallet and saw that there was change inside, as well as fifty and one hundred. He did not touch it, but looked through the mezzanine. When he found something, his heart beat faster and his eyes straightened.

When footsteps approached, Chen Yue immediately grabbed the thing in the mezzanine, threw the wallet on the ground, and ran away in a panic.

Huang Dan walked halfway and found that the small wallet Song Min bought for him was missing. He looked for it along the same route and followed his memory to find the wallet. There was not a dime missing from the money in it, but one inch photo was missing.

This happened back then. At that time, Huang Dan was as calm as if nothing happened. He didn’t even care about the missing one-inch photo, let alone guess who took it, because in junior high school, he often lost this and that, as small as a rubber eraser, wipes, scratch paper, large exercise books, notebooks, leftover snacks, etc., and have become accustomed to it.

Huang Dan put his wallet in his pocket. This time he had a guess in his mind. It was probably the classmate who gave him the pack of tissues.

It is understandable to steal a one-inch photo, but it is unacceptable, including the fact that some people collect their used things. It will be very hard to like someone so seriously and hard and not get a response.

He was lucky, he fell in love with someone for the first time, and that person happened to like him too.

It’s hot, and as soon as class is over, the corridor is full of people, all of them boys. They stretch their necks and look down. From time to time, they whistle at the girls passing by and shout “beauty” once or twice with a smile. It’s also not good for girls to look up, otherwise the boys will laugh.

This is the youthfulness of teenagers.

Huang Dan was walking downstairs when he suddenly heard a girl calling his name, “Fang Lili said she likes you——”

The shout came from upstairs, and then it fell silent. A few seconds later, there was a loud boo, the loudest from a certain corner, where the second class was.

The girl who shouted was confessing for someone else, and one could tell by her voice that she had a lively and cheerful personality.

Huang Dan kept walking away. He didn’t know how the class teacher knew about the other party’s shouting. He will be called to the office during self-study tomorrow morning and listen to the class teacher’s ideological education about how sour the fruit of puppy love is and how eating it will cause diarrhea.

There were also students leaning forward toward the corridor of Class 5. When Huang Dan went upstairs, they all looked over. Envy was written on their faces. They wanted to tease him in person, but they didn’t do it because they were unfamiliar with him.

Jiang Long was different. He and Huang Dan were deskmates and were already very familiar with each other. He ran over to, but saw a bruise on the other person’s mouth, his eyes were still very red and he had obviously cried. “What’s wrong?”

Huang Dan said, “I accidentally bumped into a girl.”

Jiang Long immediately said, “That girl must be your rightful one.”

Huang Dan，“……”

Jiang Long winked at Huang Dan, “It’s like that on TV. The moment two people bumped into each other by chance, Cupid’s arrow hit both of them. Really, just watch, you will see that girl again soon.”

Huang Dan didn’t want to talk to him. He went in through the back door and saw Chen Yue lying on a chair with sweat on his face.

Liu Feng was leaning on Chen Yue’s desk talking to him. When he noticed Huang Dan looking towards them, he yelled, “Are you being bullied by some class?”

Huang Dan’s eyes passed over Chen Yue and he walked towards his seat without saying a word.

Liu Feng rolled his eyes, “The genius in our class looks like he has cried.”

The sweat on Chen Yue’s face rolled down, making his neck itchy. He touched the pack of hearttex in his pocket, but didn’t take it out. He just picked up his T-shirt and wiped it casually, “What do you care about him?”

“It’s like a big 200W light bulb. It’s hard not to look at it.”

Liu Feng tried hard to think of adjectives, “During military training, everyone did forty push-ups, but he did twenty. His voice was a bit crying when he spoke, tsk tsk, he is definitely a spoiled young master, so squeamish that there is no limit.”

Chen Yue unscrewed the lid of the water bottle and drank a few sips of water. He snorted uninterestedly and said, “Young Master is Young Master. He doesn’t want to eat from your pot, and he doesn’t want you to serve him.”

Liu Feng looked at Chen Yue’s red face and asked in confusion, “There’s no physical education test tomorrow, so why are you practicing running?”

A few parts of Chen Yue’s T-shirt on his front and back were soaked with sweat. He scratched his wet scalp and said nonchalantly, “Stretching.”

Liu Feng said it was a coincidence, “I happen to have something to do here that allows me to stretch my muscles. That guy Peng Fei will come from No. 5 Middle School tomorrow to chase Wei Linlin. Let’s go and meet him then.”

Chen Yue said, “I won’t go.”

Liu Feng asked without thinking, “Why?”

Chen Yue put his legs up on the table, his eyes flying around, seeming to stop at one place, “I have become a good person.”

Liu Feng was stunned, and a sentence came out of his mouth after a while, “Damn, it seems that the sun will rise from the west tomorrow.”

He turned into Sherlock Holmes and said, “Is the girl you like a good student? Are you afraid that people will look down on you, so you just plan to learn well? That’s not right. I can’t count the number of good students chasing you with both hands and feet. I didn’t think you wanted to be a good person then.”

Chen Yue reminded him compassionately, “Bro, your brain cells are pitiful, save some to use, don’t show it off in front of me, I’m worried by looking at.”

“The two of us are tweedledum and tweedledee, no one can blame the other.”

Liu Feng’s black face twitched and he spat out saliva, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you, because of Wei Linlin’s matter, Peng Fei will definitely come to you. He is so small-minded and has a strong self-esteem. He will not give up until he regains some face from you.”

Chen Yue shook his legs, “What does Wei Linlin have to do with me?”

Liu Feng said, “She likes you.”

There was a hint of surprise in Chen Yue’s eyes, and then he glanced lazily once at the corner of the mouth, “So what?”

You like other people, others don’t like you, you can’t do anything, there’s no way at all. You can’t control yourself to continue to like it. It’s a one-man show, but you are intoxicated and happy in your heart.

Suddenly a book flew towards Chen Yue, hit his shoulder and fell to the ground. He picked it up, held it up in his hands, and cursed in a loud voice, “Damn it, whose book is this?”

The classroom suddenly became quiet.

Chen Yue was too lazy to look at the name on the book. He sneered, “I count to three. If no one comes to claim it, this book will go into the trash can. It will not be whole, but into pieces.”

A boy and a girl in the middle row at the back exchanged glances. The girl’s face turned red. She nudged the boy with her elbow, her eyes full of pleading. The boy stood up from his seat and walked over to apologize awkwardly, “Chen Yue, I’m sorry, this is my book, I accidentally threw it just now.”

The two of them were a couple, they had been together since junior high school, and they quarreled over trivial matters. The girl lost control and smashed the book.

Chen Yue threw the book at the boy angrily, but the boy didn’t say anything. He took the book and turned around and returned to his seat.

Liu Feng hehehe, “Someone just said that he wanted to be a good person.”

Chen Yue’s forehead twitched.

Liu Feng continued, “What’s that saying, dogs can’t change…..”

The last two words he said were interrupted by a loud noise, and the desk leg was kicked by Chen Yue. Everything on the desk fell off, frightening the girl in the front seat to pale.

Chen Yue had long legs and stretched out to kick Liu Feng’s desk with astonishing force. He roared with a blue face, “Get the hell out of here!”

Liu Feng also kicked him and glared at Chen Yue. He was so weak that he quickly lost the battle. He bent down to pick up the books and pens on the ground and stuffed them into his desk pocket, “What kind of rotten temper do you have?”

Chen Yue closed his eyes, took out his Walkman, turned it on, and plugged in his earphones to listen to the song.

Liu Feng tugged Chen Yue’s earphone and said angrily, “I was originally thinking of asking the class teacher to apply to be your deskmate!”

Chen Yue was sitting alone without a deskmate. Hearing this, he put his earphones back in without saying anything.

Liu Feng looked at Chen Yue and felt a little sad and lonely. He wiped his face in shock, fuck, this is terrible, it must be an illusion.

This guy is liked by many girls, beautiful, cute, aloof, and all. It is his own taste. He doesn’t like this one and doesn’t like that one. Lonely ghost!

I’m really lonely. No one likes me, and I can’t catch up with those I like, Liu Feng thought sadly.

There are three circles in the front, middle and back of the classroom, which are clearly divided. Those in the front row mostly interact with those in the middle and rarely care about the affairs in the back row.

Huang Dan didn’t know the names of the classmates in the back row before, and he couldn’t recognize them when he met them. He didn’t pay attention this time, but he felt that it was messy. The textbooks on the table were messy, and the desks were also messy. There were boys who put their legs on the desk like Chen Yue did, which made him frown.

He heard Chen Yan and Qian Meng in the back seat talking secretly, saying that Chen Yue was so handsome.

Jiang Long also heard it and hummed, “Chen Yue has unhealthy practices in society and is not suitable to stay in the classroom at all. I really don’t know why the class teacher put him in Class 5.”

He said with irritation, “That Liu Feng is not much better. Relying on the fact that his family has a little money at home, he thinks that he is the king of heaven.”

Huang Dan didn’t say anything. Unless it was required by the mission, he would not talk about others behind their backs. He didn’t like that and it was very bad.

Jiang Long listened to the noise behind him and said in annoyance, “I thought high school was different from junior high school. Everyone in the class knew how to study, but I didn’t expect a bunch of idiots to still be there.”

Huang Dan frowned, “Just because you’re not good at studying doesn’t mean you’re not smart.”

Jiang Long was speechless. He threw his pen on the desk, “If this doesn’t mean you are not smart, then what kind of talent is that?”

Huang Dan said, “Some people have smart minds but are not interested in learning. Once they encounter something they are interested in, they will achieve great results.”

Jiang Long can’t understand it now, but Huang Dan knows that he will understand it in the future.

Chen Yan poked Huang Dan’s back and said when he turned around, “There is something in your desk pocket.”

Huang Dan put his hand in and touched a box of chocolates.

Chen Yan tore up a piece of draft paper, quickly wrote a line of words, rolled it up and threw it on Huang Dan’s table.

Huang Dan opened the note and saw the delicate handwriting. Chen Yan wrote on it who bought the chocolate and that the other party wanted to be friends with him.

Chen Yan is also a science major. After being separated into classes in her second year of high school, she stayed in Class 5 and continued to revolve around Huang Dan. In addition to her studies, another three-year job has officially begun.

Huang Dan tore up the note and threw it into the small garbage bag hanging by the desk. He had thrown away the chocolate back then. Looking back, he felt that he shouldn’t have done so and could have returned it.

Without any further thought, Huang Dan took the box of chocolates to Chen Yan and said, “Help me give it back to that female classmate.”

Chen Yan was afraid that other people in the class would see her. She was busy hiding the chocolate under a book cover, so she didn’t hear clearly, “Huh?”

Huang Dan said, “I can’t accept this.”

Chen Yan heard it clearly this time, “Okay, I’ll go find her after I go back to her dormitory to study next night.”

She looks cute, has excellent grades, writes good articles, has a cheerful personality, and is also very thoughtful. As a back seat to Huang Dan, she has no idea of first come first served. Among the people I like and the people who like me, she rationally preferred the latter.

The chance of liking each other is too low, it’s rare.

Jiang Long couldn’t understand, “When a girl buys you such a box of heart-shaped chocolates, she must have put a lot of thought into selecting them. There might be a small card inside, so why don’t you accept them?”

Huang Dan said, “I don’t like her.”

Jiang Long has no experience in relationships and has learned everything from books and TV, “You can start with being friends. Being together is fate. Being able to study in the same school is fate. One more friend opens up a new path.”

This is his life motto.

Huang Dan also has no emotional experience. The first time he received a love letter was in the first year of junior high school. He went back and told the housekeeper. The housekeeper asked him if he liked the person. When he said he didn’t like them, the housekeeper told him that if he didn’t like them, he couldn’t accept it and had to do it on the spot and don’t let people misunderstand you.

From then on, Huang Dan did that every time.

When Chen Yue confessed his love to him, he also made it clear that he didn’t like him, leaving no hope or expectation for the other party.

This time, he discovered Chen Yue’s feelings for him through a group photo in advance. Huang Dan couldn’t do anything, not because the other person didn’t show it in front of him or tell him that he liked him, but because he couldn’t touch the other person’s life trajectory, it has to be the same as before, only when the other party confesses to him can he refuse.

When Jiang Long saw that his deskmate didn’t say anything, he just changed the topic. It had nothing to do with him. If he asked too many questions, the other party would be disgusted.

Chen Yan looked at Huang Dan’s mouth, “Were you hit? I’m very experienced in this. The bruises will disappear on their own, so you don’t have to worry about it.”

Qian Meng said yes, a smile appeared on her face with many freckles, “I heard from my mother that you can drink tea for sterilization.”

Wu Fang, who was on Jiang Long’s right, also lay down, her waist-length braids sliding to her chest as she moved, “You can also apply a hot towel on it, it will disappear soon.”

The three girls surrounded Huang Dan, all radiating the light of maternal love.

Huang Dan smiled at them, “I know.”

The surroundings fell silent, and the three girls all blushed. They each sat back in their seats, either lying on their stomachs or lowering their heads to read.

Jiang Long next to him stared at the smiling face of his deskmate. He slapped his lips and said, “Huang Dan, you start smiling……”

Huang Dan tilted his head, the corners of his lips still raised, “Huh?”

Jiang Long was at a loss for words, and it took him a long time to say something without any beginning or end, “Fortunately, you’re not a girl.”

If this deskmate is a girl, he will definitely fall in love early. At that time, he will desert during class, have random thoughts after class, and will be distracted when walking. He will have all the symptoms of puppy love, and it is scary to think about it.

Chen Yue behind him had his eyes straightened and remained motionless.

Liu Feng waved his hand in front of his eyes and snapped his fingers again, “Hey, dude, come back.”

Chen Yue’s eyelids drooped, but when he raised them again, they looked the same as before. He had piled a few books to the side of the table, making room to put his arms on them, followed by his head.

Liu Feng looked in the direction Chen Yue was facing, “What are you looking at so fascinatedly? Are you looking at Chen Yan or Wu Fang? Chen Yan, she has two pigtails, she smiles sweetly, and she has small dimples. I like her.”

When he noticed that Chen Yan turned his head this way, his dark face became hot. He straightened his waist for a second and put on what he thought was his most handsome look. When the other party stopped looking, he hunched back lazily and said, “I think she likes me too.”

Chen Yue’s three immortal souls and six mortal souls had just returned, “What did you say?”

Liu Feng rolled his eyes, damn it, it’s already like this, and he still said so stubbornly that he didn’t like any girl!

The school bell rang.

The students from each class who were jumping around in the corridor returned to the classroom and lay half-dead on the desks.

During the last self-study session in the evening, Old Wei talked about tomorrow’s exam, “The exam room seating will be announced downstairs tomorrow morning. You can just go find yourselves then. There is nothing else to do. Just be normal.”

It had been ten days since Huang Dan returned to the past. He had just finished the military training, and the next step was the exam. He knew that this time was different from the high school entrance exam. He had added two more subjects, physics and chemistry. He also knew that there was no way he could get a perfect score in chemistry, and he lost three points in chemistry.

The next morning, during self-study, Old Wei came in, knocked on Huang Dan’s desk, and called him to the office.

Ten minutes later, Huang Dan returned to his seat under the curious eyes of the whole class.

Chen Yue was lying on the desk playing with the five-pointed star. He heard the people in front of him talking about Huang Dan, saying that he has a puppy love with a girl from the second class and was called away by the class teacher.

Pulling the ponytail behind the front seat, Chen Yue asked when others turned around, “Which girl?”

The girl blushed and said, “It seems her name is Fang Lili.”

Chen Yue loosened his hand and saw the girl looking at him strangely. He opened his mouth and asked, “Can geniuses have puppy love?”

The girl said admiringly, “When Fang Lili confessed her love to Huang Dan last night, many people heard her. She is so brave.”

Chen Yue squeezed five-pointed stars in hand tightly, “Really? Why don’t I know about such an interesting matter?”

The girl looked at the boy’s handsome face and said, “You’re in the classroom.”

Chen Yue frowned. He ran back from the playground and his mind was in chaos.

That person in puppy love? Impossible?

Chen Yue was restless, no, I want to see who that Fang Lili is?

Liu Feng, who was on the other side of the aisle, turned around and saw his buddy slipping away. He shouted towards the back door, “Hey, Chen Yue, where the hell are you going?”

There was no one at the door anymore.

Chen Yue went to Class 2. He stood by the window and asked the boys inside, “Classmate, who is Fang Lili in your class?”

The boy pointed to one of the girls in the fourth row in the middle.

Chen Yue took a look and felt relieved.

After breakfast, Jiang Long called Huang Dan to see the seating. There were quite a lot of people, so he squeezed in anxiously, “Huang Dan, I found mine. I’m in class 204. What about you? Have you found it?”

Huang Dan didn’t read it, “201.”

Jiang Long withdrew from the front dejectedly, “We are not in the same examination room, so why am I panicking?”

Huang Dan told the truth, “You will also panic if it is the same examination room.”

Jiang Long nodded. He swallowed nervously and was not in a good state at the scene, “To be honest with you, I don’t think the score I got in this test will be higher than the high school entrance examination score.”

Huang Dan said, “Applied physics is your forte.”

Jiang Long said bitterly, “But there is also additional chemistry, it will drag me to death.”

Huang Dan said, “Don’t think so much.”

Jiang Long made a sound Ai, “I won’t talk to you anymore. I’ll seize the time to do a few more physics questions. I can’t lose a single point on this.”

After he finished speaking, he left in a hurry.

Huang Dan wandered around the school for a while. When the time was almost up, he returned to the classroom and took his pencil case to the examination room.

Class 204 was on the opposite side. When Huang Dan entered, he unexpectedly saw Chen Yue, who was sitting behind him. He frowned, he didn’t notice at that time.

In the past, I lived too much on my own.

Chen Yue supported his head with one hand and turned a 2B pencil in the other hand. It had not been sharpened yet. When he saw Huang Dan coming over, the pencil that had been spinning in his hand suddenly stopped and fell down on the desk.

Huang Dan pulled out a chair and sat on it under the watchful eyes of other students. He didn’t pay attention to the ongoing discussions, he just opened the pencil case and took out pencils and ballpoint pens.

The two girls next to him in the front and back seats knew each other. They were discussing which letter would be more accurate in the multiple-choice questions in the afternoon in mathematics. After all, the Chinese language test in the morning was relatively easy and there would be no single-digit scores like in mathematics.

When the teacher handed out the test paper, he would report the name and score. When they went up to receive it, the whole class would stare at it and make them feel like dying.

One of them said C, and the other said A. Finally, they decided to tear up four small pieces of paper and write the four letters ABCD on them. When doing a question, they would pick it up and throw it once. They would choose one of them to open and fill in that letter.

The long-haired girl sitting next to Huang Dan said, “If I see his test paper, I will tell you. If you see it, you must also tell me.”

The girl with the ponytail sitting behind her said, “Don’t worry, I will.”

The long-haired girl turned down the volume even lower, “We are so lucky to be able to sit with him. He got perfect marks in the exam. He will definitely get the right answer when he sees a question. As long as I can see a few multiple-choice questions, I will be satisfied.”

The girl with the ponytail nodded, “Me too. I want to change my seat for this exam. I want to sit in the window seat in the row with him.”

The long-haired girl changed the subject and said, “Ai, the guy sitting on your left is really handsome. His hands are also very slender, and the pen falls off once when he spins it so hard.”

“His name is Chen Yue. He is in the same class as Huang Dan. We talk about them every night in our dormitory.”

“Same class? Why didn’t you say anything?”

“One of them is good at mixing and the other is good at studying. They have nothing in common.”

Chen Yue was sharpening his pencil, sharpening it like a dog chewing it. When he saw Huang Dan turn around, his hand shook, and the knife cut off most of his nails, almost losing a piece of flesh.

“What the hell do you want?”

Huang Dan looked at the pencil in Chen Yue’s hand. It was very ugly.

Chen Yue immediately threw the pencil into the pencil case. He lowered his voice and said arrogantly, “If you have something to say, just make it quick!”

Huang Dan said nothing.

Chen Yue stared at the back of his head, why didn’t he speak? Not a word?

The person in front of him turned his head again, and Chen Yue looked away in panic, pretending to tinker with the pencil box.

Huang Dan was not looking at Chen Yue, but at the other people in the examination room. He didn’t hold his sight to anyone, he just glanced at them roughly.

Chen Yue didn’t know, he thought Huang Dan was looking at him, his face and neck were burning, and he accidentally knocked over the pencil case.

A roll of tape rolled to Huang Dan’s feet, and he bent down to pick it up.

Chen Yue saw it and snatched the tape back from Huang Dan’s hand. The temperature of the fire had reached the top of his head. He tried to find fault to cover it up, “This is my thing, who told you to touch it?”

The palm Huang Dan touched inadvertently was smooth, like a teenager’s.

Chen Yue secretly clenched the hand that had touched Huang Dan under the table.

Huang Dan in front looked at his hands. He didn’t come back to his senses until the invigilator came in.

The papers were passed from the students in the first row to the back. When it got to Huang Dan, he took one copy and passed the rest to the back.

Chen Yue deliberately didn’t respond.

Huang Dan turned around and put the paper on Chen Yue’s table.

Chen Yue felt very proud after seeing his face again.

Sitting upright, Huang Dan turned over the test paper and started from the first question and worked backwards. His speed was under control, relaxed and calm.

The examination room was filled with the rustle of pen tips rubbing against paper, mixed with the sounds of moving tables and chairs, coughing and other trivial sounds.

When Huang Dan was filling out the answer sheet, Chen Yue in the back seat was staring blankly at the hand that touched him. There was a name written on the paper under his arm, as if it had been scratched by chicken claws.

In the past, every time he took an exam, Chen Yue would hand in his papers early. No matter what the exam was about, as soon as he looked at the questions, his head would hurt and he could not sit down as if there were nails under his buttocks.

Today, Chen Yue was sitting on the chair very honestly. Several classmates who knew him were waiting for him to hand in the paper first, and then followed closely.

As soon as the exam time was up, the teacher asked the students to collect the papers from back to front. She kept watching, and no one could take the opportunity to change an answer or two.

Chen Yue caught the stack of test papers passed from behind and put his own on top. Instead of passing it directly to the person in front, he kicked the other person’s chair with his feet.

Huang Dan turned around to get the paper, looked at the top one, it was clean, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly.

Without any embarrassment, the person involved packed up his pencil case, stood up and walked towards the entrance of the examination room, his open school uniform jacket turned back like a gust of wind.

Huang Dan went to the cafeteria and ordered a portion of winter melon and kelp soup. It was a big portion, and it only cost 50 cents for a large pot. There were only two windows for serving food, and there were so many people. He didn’t want to queue up, so he took the soup back to the dormitory.

After the Chinese language test, there was not much excitement in the dormitory, and no one answered the questions. The afternoon mathematics was the most exciting.

Jiang Long saw that Huang Dan hadn’t packed any food, so he wanted to give him half of the food in his bowl.

Huang Dan refused.

Jiang Long smiled and said, “I haven’t eaten yet, not a sip”

Huang Dan shook his head after hearing this. He could only share the meal with one person, “There are a lot of winter melons and kelp. I’m almost full after eating them.”

Jiang Long didn’t force it.

Chen Yue leaned on the bed and hummed, his thin lips raised. He didn’t know why, but he thought he had done well in the exam.

Liu Feng took two mouthfuls of rice and wiped his mouth casually with his arm, “Chen Yue, stop humming. My tooth hurts.”

Others echoed, “Really a toothache.”

Chen Yue laughed and scolded, “LaoZi is happy, do I need to care about you?.”

Jiang Long said, “Huang Dan, do you think Chen Yue sings better, or do I sing better?”

Huang Dan said, “I haven’t noticed.”

Jiang Long was very competitive and insisted on an answer. He began singing his best song 《Practice》. He sang the chorus part. In his opinion, the chorus can best reveal the soul of a singer.

Chen Yue saw that Jiang Long suddenly started singing and even covered up his humming, so he cursed a few words and sang at the top of his lungs.

Liu Feng and others, “…”

People passing by stretched their heads and asked if there was a concert.

Everyone in the dormitory is confused. Don’t ask them, they don’t know what’s going on, and they can’t even eat.

Jiang Long finished singing the chorus. He ignored Chen Yue’s glare and asked Huang Dan nervously and expectantly who sang better.

Huang Dan told the truth, “He can sing better than you.”

Jiang Long was deeply shocked. He threw himself on the bed without washing the bowl, feeling hopeless.

Chen Yue heard Jiang Long’s question and Huang Dan’s answer. He felt like he had drunk a large bottle of soda, so sweet and bubbling.

Liu Feng felt goose bumps when he saw it, “What the? Give me some tape rolls.”

Chen Yue said, “I only have one roll. If I give it to you, I will have nothing to use.”

Liu Feng glared, “Don’t you have two volumes? I see you bought them.”

Chen Yue said without blinking, “One roll fell off.”

Liu Feng had a look of pain on his face, “Fall? Did it fall in the classroom or the examination room? I’m not scolding you, but a roll of tape costs half a yuan, Ai, bro.”

Chen Yue squinted, “Half a yuan sounds like five million. It’s not like your family has no money.”

Liu Feng squeezed out two drops of crocodile tears, “You don’t know that my parents divorced last month. How does that idiom say, the family is in decline?  No, it seems something unexpected happened.”

Chen Yue questioned, “Isn’t that an idiom about encountering an unforeseen event?”

Liu Feng said yes.

Chen Yue said it’s not the same, but Liu Feng said it definitely was.

The first-to-last and second-to-last ones were having a heated discussion, and it was quite scary when they got serious.

Huang Dan ate winter melon and listened, feeling that it was not unreasonable for Chen Yue and Liu Feng to get along.

The idiom issue was not discussed for long. Liu Feng sighed melancholy, “I don’t know where they will throw me. The days are still long. If I don’t save some money for myself, I won’t be able to survive in the future.”

Chen Yue couldn’t bear it and said, “Okay, don’t fucking disgust me, I’ll give you the tape.”

Liu Feng put his arm around Chen Yue’s shoulders, but he knocked him away.

After washing the bowl, Huang Dan took the water bottle to the water room to fetch water. He also took Jiang Long’s water bottle away.

One Dashu was sitting there collecting water tickets. The red water ticket can buy one bottle, and the green water ticket can buy two bottles. He’s sharp-eyed, it’s impossible for anyone to fish in troubled waters.

There is a long faucet inside, and the second and third grade students have also started school. There are many people, and there is a queue at every faucet.

There were three girls in front of Huang Dan. When he saw Chen Yue and Liu Feng in the queue next to him, he didn’t take them seriously.

Chen Yue was stealing a glance at Huang Dan’s side face. When he looked over, he quickly turned his head to talk to Liu Feng as if nothing had happened.

His heart was pounding and his palms were sweaty. After a while, he couldn’t help but take a peek.
