That day, Chen Yue put the love letter in a book. He hid the book in the cabinet in the dormitory and locked it, planning to wait until he went home on Saturday to find a safe place to keep it. He never thought of throwing it away. Every word, every sentence, was what he had thought about day and night, crossed out and revised over and over again. It’s devotion to the first love of his life, which was both sour and sweet, enough for him to remember for a long, long time, worth collecting.

Spring is the gentlest season of the year. The wind is gentle, the rain is gentle, and the sunshine is gentle.

Boys and girls wearing clean or dirty school uniforms shuttled between campus and classroom. Every young and innocent face is filled with love for spring. The weather is neither cold nor hot, and it is very comfortable to sleep and attend classes. They don’t have to put their hands to their mouth and breathe out after doing a few questions, and they don’t have to worry about getting covered in sweat when they sit on the chair for a long time. It is really great.

However, Chen Yue wilted like an eggplant beaten by frost.

The magazine that Liu Feng stuffed in the other party schoolbag during the winter vacation was taken away by his mother, but he didn’t say anything. This time, he got two more copies for him. It was enough for a buddy, “It was just published. The content in it is very rich. I guarantee you will immediately come to life after watching it and run around the playground ten or eight times with excitement.”

Chen Yue lay on the desk with his eyes closed, indifferent.

Liu Feng pulled off Chen Yue’s earphones and hummed, “What? The throne of No. 1 is under my butt, and you are heartbroken? Are you having trouble sleeping and eating? Is life worse than death?”

After he said those idioms, he felt that he had made great progress. How come his Chinese score still didn’t pass 50? This shouldn’t be right.

Chen Yue turned off the Walkman in his desk pocket and stood up and walked out of the classroom.

Liu Feng followed Chen Yue out and leaned side by side with him in the corridor to enjoy the breeze, “Just tell me if you have anything to say. Because of the strong friendship we have built over the years, don’t worry, I promise not to tell anyone.”

Seeing that Chen Yue’s mouth was tightly closed and silent, Liu Feng rolled his eyes, “You have a girl you like. I haven’t told anyone about it, right? Think about it, if I had told it, it would have happened a long time ago, spread around the school. Give me some credit, buddy.”

Chen Yue turned around and leaned against the corridor, “Nothing happened.”

“You’ve been looking dead in and out of class these past two days. No matter if you are told to play pool, go clubbing, or go out to eat with girls, you didn’t go. You either sleep in the dormitory or in the classroom. You call this nothing? Do you think I’m blind, ah?”

Liu Feng stared at his buddy, his eyes rolled, and he had a guess in his mind, “Did you write a love letter to that girl, and she rejected it?”

Chen Yue’s expression changed, and he yelled, as if he had been stabbed, “What the fuck are you talking about?”

When Liu Feng saw him like this, he knew that his guess was pretty close, “Damn it, I’m not lecturing you, but usually there are a lot of girls chasing you, just pick one randomly, why on earth…… ok, ok, ok, just pretend I didn’t say anything.”

Anyway, the military training last year reminded him that people don’t take it to heart. Even if he says a flower, it will still be regarded as speaking nonsense.

Liu Feng just took a break, and his nature of watching the fun and not minding the trouble came out again, “That girl is sitting in front, right? Let me guess, ah, Chen Yan is the most talked about person in our dormitory. She has a good personality, is tall and cute, and she won’t look down on us scumbags. There are quite a few people who like her, but not one of them has been able to pursue her, is that her?”

He observed his buddy’s expression and said in surprise, “No? Then Wu Fang. She is good at English and has the longest hair among the girls in the class. It reached her waist when she tied it at the back. When she handed out the papers, she would blush if we teased her and would not dare to raise her head.”

Chen Yue walked towards the stairs.

Liu Feng behind him sighed ai, ai, “None of them? Do you like the type of person who is helpful, kind, friendly, and has a beautiful soul? That’s hard to guess. I have to start from the first person in the first row.”

Chen Yue scolded angrily, “Can you shut up?”

Liu Feng said no, “The biggest use of a person’s mouth is to talk, the second is to eat and drink, the third is to breathe, the fourth is to kiss the person you like, but you don’t have to try it for a short time, because the girl you like…… ”

Chen Yue’s footsteps suddenly stopped, and he turned his head angrily, “You are looking for death, aren’t you?”

Liu Feng looked at his buddy’s injured appearance and felt that his endurance is too low. How would he survive in society when he grew up?, “Isn’t it just being rejected? It’s not a big deal. I don’t know how many times I’ve been rejected. ‘Whether you like me is your business, what does it have to do with me?’. You should understand the truth of this sentence better than those of us who are not liked by anyone.”

There’s a wild beast living in Chen Yue’s heart, silently licking his wounds. If anyone stimulates him, it will go crazy, “You understand my ass!”

Liu Feng hehe, “I don’t understand, but you do. I think you’ve rejected too many girls, and God couldn’t stand it, so he let you have a taste of what it feels like.”

Chen Yue kicked him on the butt, “Scram!”

Liu Feng cursed in pain, “Fuck, you want to kick me to death, right?”

The two of them glared at each other in the corridor, as if they were very angry and would have a fight at any time, but they didn’t do that and just sat down on the dirty steps.

Liu Feng rubbed his butt and bared his teeth and said, “It’s not a big deal. This is the first time you have been rejected. You will get used to it if you are rejected more times in the future.”

Meaningful chatter was nothing for Chen Yue.

Liu Feng spoke with some knowledge, his childish face showing a hint of maturity, “Do you know what it means to like? You like it today, you don’t like it tomorrow, and you like it again the day after tomorrow. Don’t take it too seriously. One day you will realize how stupid you are now.”

Chen Yue took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. He fell in love with Huang Dan the first time he saw him, and he has always liked him since then. He never thought about the day when he would like someone else.

There will never be another person in this world that he can only look at in the crowd, just like seeing the brightest star, there will never be another one.

When Liu Feng saw this, he bumped his shoulder, “I don’t know when you store it, give me one too.”

Chen Yue lowered his head and took out the lighter and flicked out a flame. He lit a cigarette for himself and took a puff with half-squinted eyes. Then he threw the lighter and the cigarette case to Liu Feng.

Liu Feng said that smoking is better, “Let me tell you, it’s hard to guess a girl’s heart. If you have the energy, it’s better to smoke two more cigarettes and think about what to eat three times a day.”

Chen Yue had never guessed any girl’s heart, and he didn’t want to guess. He just wanted to guess Huang Dan’s heart. It would be great if he could guess it.

Chen Yue was very conflicted in the past two days. On the one hand, he felt that it was okay for Huang Dan not to read the love letter, so that he could maintain the status quo and provoke the other party as usual, continue on without any good or bad feeling, deceiving himself and pretending nothing has happened.

But he was unwilling to do so. He wanted to be brave once, even if he was rejected and treated as a pervert, or even accused of going to the teacher, causing him to be discriminated against by the whole school and asked to drop out. He didn’t want to regret his cowardice and retreat in the future.

Chen Yue smoked silently. If he confessed his love in person, he would most likely not be able to do it as a student. His brows were furrowed and his heart was in a mess.

I still want to be brave once, just once.

In the final analysis, Chen Yue just doesn’t want to fall in love with someone for the first time, and does not even dare to confess. He feels that if he doesn’t say it now, the longer time goes by and the older he gets, the less he dares to say it.

Liu Feng suddenly said, “Not good, I heard the class teacher’s voice, run quickly!”

Chen Yue immediately came to his senses, nibbed his cigarette, got up and ran back to the classroom with him.

When Old Wei went upstairs, he smelled the smell of cigarette smoke. It was quite strong, they must have just escaped. He said to the female teacher next to him, “Children nowadays don’t learn well at a young age.”

“It’s just a rebellious stage. Everyone has it, but they express it in different ways.”

The female teacher was much calmer than him, “Your class’s Chen Yue surprised us. After he entered high school, he didn’t cause trouble like he did in junior high school, didn’t go against teachers, and he didn’t lead a group of people to fight with students from other classes. His grades also improved. Is he in love?”

When Old Wei heard this, he almost stepped down the stairs. He stood firm and said, “No way? There are always a lot of girls who give him little things, but I haven’t heard of any girl he is close with.”

The female teacher didn’t think so, “Have you ever thought about it, Chen Yue is always ranked last, which shows that he doesn’t care about his ranking in academic performance. He doesn’t care about other people’s views or comments, unless he falls in love with a good student and the other person doesn’t take him seriously. He wants to work hard to make the other person see himself.”

Old Wei frowned. He had his own way of paying attention to students, and most of the information was accurate, “As far as I know, many girls with good grades admire Chen Yue.”

As someone who has experienced this, Old Wei can understand what kind of psychology that is. The better they are, the higher the expectations and the greater the restrictions placed on them by their teachers and parents.

In this way, they will become curious about an alien like Chen Yue, and they will also envy his freedom and fearlessness. Coupled with his appearance, it is not surprising at all.

The female teacher said, “But not all.”

Old Wei sounded quite reliable, but an alarm bell sounded in his heart. He was not worried about Chen Yue, but worried about the girl who was attracted to him.

No one can list all the impacts of puppy love, but the disadvantages definitely outweigh the advantages. Based on Old Wei’s years of teaching experience, as long as two people are in love, there are few who can make progress together, and many who fall behind together.

Old Wei separated from the female teacher. He went to the left and entered the classroom through the back door.

Within the ten seconds after Old Wei entered, the noise in the classroom almost disappeared. There were one or two slow-witted students who were still chatting with their necks twisted. When they noticed it, they immediately sat upright. Without even looking, you could tell that their faces were flushed, their ears were red, and their hearts were beating fast, scared to death.

When Old Wei passed by Chen Yue’s desk, he took another look. He didn’t say anything and walked slowly to the podium to start class.

Huang Dan lowered his head and wrote notes from time to time, his mind drifting a little far. He filled in the task that night and completed it, but he did not leave and was still stuck in the past.

In the past few time travels, Huang Dan had gained something and enriched his life experience. It was the same this time. He thought it was over, but he didn’t expect it to be otherwise.

What is waiting for him to blow away the dust covering it and expose it in this segment of old time?

Old Wei called Huang Dan up to answer the questions, but he didn’t respond and was blatantly distracted. It was the first time ever, and everyone in the class was extremely surprised and stretched their necks to look.

Chen Yue, who was behind, held his head and his eyes drifted there.

Just as Old Wei was about to step off the podium and knock on the desk, Jiang Long had secretly pinched Huang Dan’s leg. Huang Dan suddenly came to his senses and stood up from his seat.

Looking at the student’s appearance, Old Wei’s brows knitted and he asked with concern, “Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?”

Huang Dan would be considered lying if he said no, because his face was white and his eyes were still red, so he had no choice but to nod.

Old Wei immediately asked Jiang Long to accompany Huang Dan to the infirmary.

Everyone else was whispering to each other. Good students are different. If they feel unwell, they will go directly to the infirmary without even having to write a note to ask for leave.

Old Wei threw the chalk on the podium, clapped his hands and said, “What are you talking about? Make your voice louder and let me participate.”

The class immediately fell silent.

Chen Yue’s heart followed Huang Dan. He turned the pen several times and dropped it several times, and threw it on the table angrily.

Old Wei glanced over and said, “If you don’t want to attend the class, just go out.”

His last word just popped out of his mouth, Chen Yue had already left the classroom.

Why does he have the misconception that when a student is about to fall asleep, he just gave him a pillow? Old Wei’s facial muscles twitched.

Chen Yue ran downstairs in a few big strides, looking for Huang Dan as he ran. He found that the other person did not go to the infirmary but went to the dormitory, so he stopped to catch his breath.

Damn, I’m so nervous that I’m going to have a heart attack.

Huang Dan went to the dormitory and looked at the poster on the wall when he entered.

Jiang Long looked at him, curled his lips and said, “Chen Yue treats it like a treasure and doesn’t allow anyone to touch or talk about it.”

Huang Dan didn’t sit on Jiang Long’s bed. He stood, his peripheral vision always falling on the poster.

Jiang Long wanted Huang Dan to lie on his bed for a while, but before he said a few words, there was someone else in the dormitory, “He must have been kicked out by the class teacher.”

Chen Yue said in a bad tone, “If you don’t speak, no one will treat you as a mute.”

Jiang Long glared at him, turned to Huang Dan and said, “I’m going to pee.”

Huang Dan and Chen Yue were the only ones left in the dormitory. They had the same youthful body, but there was a huge gap in mentality, memory, and experience.

Huang Dan was about to walk out, and Chen Yue was walking in. Their bodies accidentally touched each other. This was a very common physical contact between boys, it was no big deal.

Chen Yue had a normal reaction on his face, but his heart beat uncontrollably. He suddenly felt aggrieved and got angry at the innocent plastic bucket.

Huang Dan said nothing.

Chen Yue grabbed the railing and then dispelled the idea of going to bed. He made hey sound, “Why are your eyes as red as a rabbit?”

Huang Dan still didn’t respond.

Chen Yue was so angry that he almost broke his teeth. He scoffed and pretended not to care, “Forget it.”

The next moment, he kicked one of the shoes next to his feet far away.

Huang Dan turned around and looked at Chen Yue.

Chen Yue was like a huddled hedgehog, “What the hell are you looking at, never seen a handsome guy?”

Huang Dan said, “You are in a bad mood.”

Chen Yue was stunned when he heard this. Is it obvious?

Huang Dan said, “Obvious.”

Chen Yue was not only stunned this time, but also very surprised. Damn it, how did he know what I was thinking?

Huang Dan’s mouth twitched slightly, “It’s all on your face.”

Chen Yue should be said to be panicking now. Then my usual stupid behavior won’t be seen as well, right?

No, Huang Dan would not talk to him like this if he was found out.

Huang Dan took in Chen Yue’s emotional changes. He rubbed his eyes, went over to open his cabinet, took a water cup from it and rinsed it, then took Jiang Long’s water bottle and poured half a cup of water into it.

Chen Yue was peeking. In case Huang Dan discovered it, he turned his head to the side from time to time and went to see him again later.

Huang Dan pretended not to know

In his spare time, Old Wei talked to several teachers about Chen Yue. The Chinese teacher showed him the last test paper.

“The essay topic was “Dream”, and the requirement was no less than 800 words. When I walked to Chen Yue’s desk, I saw only one sentence on his test paper that’s My dream is… 800 words omitted here.”

The Chinese teacher smiled helplessly, “When I was marking the papers, I found out that he had corrected them later. At least his attitude had improved a bit.”

Old Wei turned the test paper over and found the first line of the essay had been crossed out. There was a paragraph written at the back —— My dream is to buy a castle abroad in the future, surrounded by trees, with a rose garden, a lake, a lawn, and my princess.

The Chinese teacher’s smile conveyed that he is a very gentle person, “Dream to dream of, even if you dare to think. Not bad. Although the number of words is far from enough, it is better than omitting 800 words here.”

Old Wei read that passage again. This child has a lot of inner emotions and is not bad-hearted, but he is just too lazy and has no goal to strive for. If he had them……

We have to wait until we know what it looks like.

Which girl is Chen Yue’s princess? Old Wei eliminated them one by one in his mind, but found that none of them looked as if. He was overwhelmed.

Two days later it was Huang Dan’s turn to be on duty, and he cleaned from back to front.

Some students like to spit, and a large piece of the ground next to the seat will be wet.

When Huang Dan encountered something like that, he quickly swept it with a broom, swept the paper snack bags and other garbage onto the aisle, and then piled it together.

Chen Yue did not leave, but squatted in the corner outside. From time to time, he could hear the sound of tables and chairs being moved. He wanted to go in and help, he really wanted to, but he didn’t, for fear that he couldn’t help but touch Huang Dan.

When two people are alone, the devil will definitely come out if they are impulsive.

Just like before, Huang Dan heard Chen Yue talking to himself in the corridor.

Huang Dan stood there and listened as long as Chen Yue spoke.

The sports competition was held in mid-April

Huang Dan is not interested in sports that consume a lot of physical energy, and he doesn’t want to try them. He is afraid of pain, so he instinctively rejects them.

The boys’ discussion was full of spittle, but the girls were much calmer. Most of them didn’t want to participate. Some had underdeveloped motor cells, and some were just shy.

After all, no matter which sport event you participate in, there will be many people watching.

Chen Yue is the ace in the class. With his height and physique, it is unreasonable not to apply for two more events.

The PE class representative took the registration form to Chen Yue and said, “How about signing up for the 3000m and the high jump or the long jump? Do you think this is okay?”

Chen Yue smiled and said, “How about I applied for all the events on notice?”

The PE class representative also smiled, “This won’t work. Many events are being carried out at the same time, and you can’t miss the time. Let me show you which ones……”

His voice stopped suddenly, and then he realized Chen Yue’s sarcasm.

Chen Yue was still smiling, “I won’t participate in any of them.”

The PE class representative opened his eyes wide and looked shocked, “Why?”

Chen Yue put his legs up on the table, “I’m in a bad mood, can’t you tell?”

PE class representative, “……”

The news that Chen Yue would not participate in the sports competition spread in the class, and everyone’s reaction was very big. If he did not participate, chances of ranking would be much smaller.

Jiang Long said, oh no, done for, “If Chen Yue doesn’t run 3000 meters, no one else can run. What else does our class use to compete with other classes?”

Huang Dan said, “Why compete?”

Jiang Long was speechless for a while and said, “I found that you and Chen Yue have one thing in common. You both have a weak sense of collective honor. Do you know that this is wrong?”

He relapsed into his habit of chattering, “It’s fate to meet, in the same class, and we must advance and retreat together in the major matters of the grade.”

Huang Dan frowned. Jiang Long was right. Chen Yue disdained the sense of collective honor, and he himself didn’t take it seriously, but it was actually the same thing.

Jiang Long saw that Huang Dan was silent and quickly explained, “I was just talking casually, don’t be angry.”

Huang Dan was not angry. He was thinking about the sports competition that year. Chen Yue had the same attitude at the beginning. In the end, he still participated in the 3000 meters and won the first place.

In the evening of that day, Chen Yue was called to the office by his class teacher to provide him with one-on-one ideological education.

Old Wei got straight to the point, “You don’t want to participate in this sports competition?”

Chen Yue also didn’t want to be fake with him, “Yes.”

Old Wei looked him up and down, “The reason is that you’re in a bad mood?”

Chen Yue said, “That’s right.”

Old Wei looked loving and kind, “Why are you in a bad mood? Just tell me and the teacher will enlighten you.”

Chen Yue grinned, “Teacher, I appreciate your kindness.”

Old Wei took a sip of tea and said, “You still know how to talk, which means you are not in a bad mood. It’s a 1,500-meter race, a 400-meter relay race, or a 3,000-meter race. You choose one to participate in.”

Chen Yue raised his eyebrows, “Is it forced?”

Old Wei sighed, “The teacher is not forcing you, but is trying to strengthen your sense of collective honor.”

He stood up and patted the student on the shoulder, “Those who are capable work hard. Only you can run for 3,000. The teacher is optimistic about you.”

“……”

When Chen Yue returned to the classroom, he learned from everyone’s comments that Huang Dan had also signed up for an event, throwing shot put, and his mood suddenly improved.

Holding a sports competition means that there is no need to go to class and no need to listen to the teacher’s rants. Each class is very happy. As for the 1,000-word review, let’s talk about it later.

The cheering article was written by Chen Yan. After she finished it, she asked Huang Dan to correct it, and it was approved after she handed it in.

The slogans were thought up by several class representatives, and they came up with three in total. The whole class voted, and the one with the highest number of votes was – Class 5, Class 5, unstoppable, Class 5, Class 5, extraordinary!

On the day of the sports competition, all classes gathered on the playground. They were wearing school uniforms, with school badges on their chests, each with a small flag, and their faces were full of excitement.

When the principal went up to the stage to speak, the students looked around, looking for pretty girls and handsome boys, and no one was listening.

It wasn’t until the principal’s voice rose, saying that the sports competition had officially begun and wishing all classes good results, that everyone applauded in unison.

The first competition was the 100-meter dash, and the announcement informed the participants to get ready on the track.

Liu Feng waved his hand like a leader. He won second place and gave Class 5 a very good start.

Some good students would bring their homework books to the playground. They did not participate in events, and did not pay attention to the class scores. Huang Dan did not do that back then, but he also took an attitude of indifference.

This time he participated because Jiang Long said that experience is very important and that life is about constant experience.

Huang Dan thought about time travel and returning to the past, so he decided to experience it once.

This small thing should not change the big trend.

When Huang Dan was throwing the shot put, Chen Yue was cheering for him in the crowd. He caught sight of the other person’s figure, his hand slipped and the shot went wide, so he didn’t get a ranking.

Chen Yue felt a little distressed when he saw the youngster frowning and pursing his lips. It’s okay. Don’t be sad. The important thing is to participate.

If I had known better, I would have given him my wristband. Chen Yue put his hands in his pockets, held the five-pointed star between his fingers, and rubbed it carelessly, his eyes always following the figure.

Liu Feng chuckled, “We made a bet that Huang Dan would not get a rank, and it turned out to be true.”

Chen Yue squinted, “Don’t you still have a 400-meter relay? Don’t you need to warm up?”

Liu Feng cursed, “Don’t say anything, the first runner is that idiot Jiang Long, he can run like hell!!”

Jiang Long on the opposite side tugged at Huang Dan’s school uniform, “I feel like Liu Feng is cursing me.”

Huang Dan raised his eyelids and looked over.

Liu Feng raised his little finger at him, but Chen Yue grabbed his collar and dragged him away.

The 3000 meters is the finale, and all classes send out participants.

There were people standing on both sides of the track, cheering for those in their own class. Not only that, they also cheered for those in other classes.

Youthful and full of vitality, but also childish and cute.

Chen Yue took off his school uniform jacket. The girls around him were full of anticipation, counting on him to throw it into their arms.

Huang Dan was talking to Jiang Long. The light in front of his eyes dimmed and his head sank. He took off the jacket and saw Chen Yue’s back.

Jiang Long looked puzzled, “There are so many people around, why did he throw his school jacket at you? You don’t know each other well.”

Huang Dan put Chen Yue’s school jacket on his arm. This same thing happened back then, and he just passed it to the class monitor.

Chen Yan smiled and said, “Young Master, if you weren’t the school belle, they would definitely make trouble with you.”

Huang Dan，“……”

Teenage boys’ bodies vary widely, some are thin and small, while others are tall and strong.

Chen Yue has both qualities. He is a bit ruffian but also very handsome. Other boys dislike him but they dare not show it.

With the sound of a gunshot, everyone flew out like sharp arrows.

After two laps, Chen Yue ran neither fast nor slow, always in the middle position. Everyone could see that he obviously did not go all out.

There are so many people paying attention to such a celebrity, a school hunk, and now they all have their own thoughts. Some think he is deliberately attracting other people’s attention, and some think he is suffering from pain in his feet and legs. In short, he just feels uncomfortable.

Some were worried to death and couldn’t help but run after him, cheering him on with runny noses and tears.

Class 5 exploded, and none of them thought that Chen Yue would have any problems.

“Liu Feng, do you know what happened to Chen Yue?”

“No idea.”

“Don’t you guys have a good relationship? Regarding his matter, you should……”

“What should be? No matter how good it is, it’s not a roundworm in his stomach!”

“He won’t be able to catch up if he doesn’t run.”

Liu Feng lost his temper, “What the hell, are your eyes on the butt? Isn’t he running all the time?”

He cursed and stared at Chen Yue on the runway, “Bro, what they say is right. Hurry up and stop acting cool, otherwise it will be too late.”

During the last lap, Chen Yue saw an extra person at the finish line from a distance. He suspected that he had seen it wrong and blinked his eyes. A drop of sweat fell down. His vision was blurry then clear. When he looked again, the person was still there.

That’s right!

Chen Yue wiped his sweaty cheeks and grinned happily. Damn, really the youngster he likes.

Then everyone saw Chen Yue suddenly speeding up. He overtook one by one, and his speed became faster and faster, as if he was about to fly.

The atmosphere in Class 5 became tense. Their faces turned red and they shouted at the top of their lungs, “Chen Yue, come on! Chen Yue, come on!”

There were two people in front of Chen Yue. He was breathing heavily, his heart was beating violently in his chest, and his ears were buzzing. He couldn’t hear anything, couldn’t see anything, and there was only one person left in the whole world.

That’s the person he likes, greeting him at the finish line.

Class 5 all had their hearts in their throats. They either grabbed the people around them or clenched their hands. They shouted in their hearts, surpass! Outstrip!

Chen Yue was the first to reach the finish line. He didn’t stop and ran straight towards the youngster he liked.
