The playground was like a pot of boiling water, with cheers, shouts, and applause.
Chen Yue ran towards his princess. He did not bump into the person directly, but paused for a moment before pretending to be exhausted and fell forward unsteadily.
The pause was so fast that it was hard to catch, so in the eyes of the people around him, Chen Yue ran too fast in his final sprint and was unable to stop after passing the finish line. Unfortunately, Huang Dan did not avoid it in time, so they collided with each other.
Huang Dan was pushed down by Chen Yue. He observed that Chen Yue supported the ground with one hand and grabbed his arm with the other hand to pull him up, reducing a large part of the impact in order not to hurt him.
Chen Yue buried his face in the hollow of Huang Dan’s shoulder and gasped for air. From an angle that no one could see, the corners of his mouth were raised high, and he laughed silently, going crazy with joy.
Huang Dan turned his head sideways and touched something wet, which was Chen Yue’s sweaty hair, which rubbed the sweat on his face. He saw the top of the other person’s black hair and red ears.
Chen Yue was about to die. His heart was beating so fast that his eardrums were about to be shattered, but he just didn’t want to get up. One more second was worth everything.
Huang Dan could feel the strong heartbeat hitting his chest, with some unspeakable madness. He felt dizzy for a moment, and raised his hands on both sides to hold down the person on his body.
Youth is burning fiercely, burning the years of youth red and hot, leaving a deep mark on the stone wall of memory.
In less than a minute, boys in the class ran over and pulled Chen Yue. But Chen Yue was like a big stone slab, sinking tightly. His face twisted. Damn it, this opportunity is hard to come by. I finally came across it once, and maybe it will never come again in this lifetime.
The number of boys increased from two to five or six, but the big stone slab was still half-lifted and half-pulled aside.
Chen Yue’s face was red. He didn’t know whether it was caused by the strenuous exercise, or he was angry that these people didn’t let him stay for a while, or he was excited and shy about the short-term close contact just now.
Huang Dan was also pulled up. Jiang Long asked him anxiously if he was injured. He shook his head.
Jiang Long looked into his eyes and the corner of his mouth pulled down, “You still said no. You obviously only cry when you are in severe pain.”
Huang Dan said, “Really not.”
Jiang Long said that Chen Yue was really awesome. He looked excited and dancing and gesticulating as he spoke, “In the first few laps, Chen Yue was neither fast nor slow, as if he was playing around. We ran with him and asked him to run to the inner lane. Our throats hurt from shouting, but he thought we were farting, the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is.”
“We all thought that we would definitely not get the ranking this time. Unexpectedly, he suddenly accelerated and overtook one by one, and everyone was cheering for him. The scene was really shocking. I got a lot of goosebumps, and I still have them now. If you don’t believe me, feel them.”
Huang Dan did not touch, “It is difficult to speed up in the last lap and overtake the people in front in the middle to take first place.”
“Yeah, I can’t do it anyway. I can’t even run 1,500. He stole the show this time and his status in the hearts of all the girls in the school has risen.”
After Jiang Long finished speaking sourly, he dusted off the back of Huang Dan’s clothes, “Well, why did you run in too close to the finish line? How could you have been knocked down by him if you continued to stand aside?”
Huang Dan didn’t say anything.
The girls crowded in, some were handing water and towels, some were excited and incoherent, and some were crying. They were all lovely people.
Sometimes it’s strange too. The sense of collective honor is not strong in normal times, but when it really happens, you can always feel it, as if it is hidden in everyone’s heart. When it comes out, you realize that it has always been there and has never disappeared.
The great hero of the class was lying on the ground pretending to be dead. He’s such a big guy with a bad temper that no one else could carry him except Liu Feng, who has a close relationship with him.
Little did they know that Liu Feng wouldn’t be able to carry him this time. He almost knelt down and shouted angrily, “Bro, you should be more cooperative, ah!”
Chen Yue’s eyes were a little bloodshot, and sweat was rolling down his face. “Cooperative my ass. Didn’t you see that LaoZi’s paralyzed?”
Liu Feng tugged on Chen Yue’s arm, but he failed to move it. He cursed several times angrily, and when he suspected something, he whispered into his buddy’s ear, “Fuck, you did it on purpose, right? How could you do such a childish thing? Damn it, I don’t care about you anymore, just lie there, I want to see if the girl you like will come over!”
The little abacus in Chen Yue’s heart crackled, he would definitely come over.
If the class monitor has a big issue, he will go to Huang Dan to discuss it and come up with ideas. He must be involved. If something goes wrong and he is involved, the teacher will be particularly tolerant. Everyone understands this, the class monitor is no exception.
It’s the same as it was back then, Huang Dan and the Class monitor went over together and helped Liu Feng lift Chen Yue up.
Chen Yue grabbed Huang Dan with his backhand. His palms were hot, and his fingers tightened in an instant, like a tongs just taken out of the fire, leaving a deep mark on it for life.
Huang Dan glanced at him.
That look made Chen Yue’s face heat up, and he said with a ferocious look, “Fuck, you haven’t eaten enough or what, can’t you hold yourself steady?!”
Jiang Long, who was following behind with the others, couldn’t see it, “Huang Dan was so kind to help you, but you didn’t say thank you and even cursed him. Chen Yue, you too……”
Chen Yue turned his head, his sweaty face showing no expression at all.
Jiang Long was frightened and muttered dissatisfied, “To think you are the King of Heaven, and won’t let anyone lecture you.”
Huang Dan’s brows moved. During the next fourteen years, Jiang Long grew up a lot, but he was still outspoken and could not change his chatterbox habit. When they would meet again at the class reunion, his attitude and evaluation of Chen Yue would probably not be much different.
Although the age has increased by fourteen years, some aspects will not change. Once the camouflage shell is peeled off, what is revealed is still the same as before.
At that time, Chen Yue would still be disdainful, arrogant and irritable, it was something deep in his bones.
Fortunately, those things are extremely familiar to Huang Dan, and he will accept them completely without any discomfort.
Huang Dan was walking when his steps suddenly stopped. He remembered something and turned around and said, “Chen Yue, your school jacket is gone.”
Chen Yue seized this opportunity to get along with him and asked in a venomous voice, “What did you do? LaoZi’s school badge is on the school jacket. If it was lost, I don’t know how much the class teacher would spit at me.”
Huang Dan pursed his lips, “There were so many people at that time, I don’t know who dragged it away.”
Chen Yue cursed in a low voice and pushed away the person who was supporting him and walked back. When the youngster didn’t follow him, he yelled impatiently, “What are you doing standing around here? Why don’t you come and look for it with me!”
Everyone was stunned. Wasn’t he paralyzed and unable to get up? Why is he acting like nothing is wrong now?
Liu Feng said in heart, paralyzed my bird. 3,000 was nothing to Chen Yue, and running a few more laps would be no problem. When someone asked, he said without blushing that it was because the other person’s physical strength recovered quickly.
Jiang Long defended his deskmate, “Why did Chen Yue do that? He was the one who threw away the school jacket. If Huang Dan hadn’t held it in his hand, it would have been gone long ago.”
Chen Yan said, “Maybe it’s because the school jacket has the school badge on it.”
Qian Meng nodded, “The class teacher said not to lose the school badge, and Chen Yue was afraid of being scolded by him.”
Jiang Long scratched his head and sighed, “Huang Dan is really unlucky. He was knocked down by Chen Yue for no reason, and he had to help him up. Now he is being scolded because of the school jacket.”
Chen Yan thought nothing would happen. She said firmly, “The school jacket must have been taken away by some girl. Chen Yue has a solution.”
Liu Feng leaned over with a dark face, and while talking, he peeked at Chen Yan, and couldn’t help but pull her ponytail, “What are you guys talking about? Especially you, Jiang Long, where do you get so much nonsense from all day long?”
Everyone looked over, Jiang Long’s face turned red, “How is it your business?”
Liu Feng bared his teeth at him, “You’re fucking talking about my buddy, and you’re saying it’s none of my business?”
Jiang Long felt guilty and said with a stiff neck, “Who asked him to cause trouble for Huang Dan?”
Liu Feng put his arms around his shoulders and patted him vigorously several times, “Yo, you are also a triple A student? Let’s go, let’s go to the other side. You can tell me properly how you usually lecture on the code of brotherhood.”
Jiang Long was led forward by him like a little chicken, with his face turning green and red.
The last event has finished, and everyone is whispering to each other, waiting for the principal to announce the scores of each class and the results achieved in this sports competition.
Chen Yue peeked at the youngster from time to time, still recalling the scene when he pounced on him just now in his mind. He must have been confused, so he forgot to avoid it.
Huang Dan didn’t find the school jacket at the finish line. He frowned and said, “The one who picked up the school jacket must be a girl.”
Chen Yue was absent-minded, “Uh-huh.”
Huang Dan added, “She likes you.”
Chen Yue hesitated, “Isn’t this obvious? Still need to say it?”
Huang Dan stopped talking, just lowered his head and looked around.
Chen Yue wanted to say it was okay, just let it be lost, but he didn’t say that. He liked to see Huang Dan worrying about his own affairs, as that would give him the illusion that they were friends, or more than close friends, better than Jiang Long’s relationship with the other party.
God knows how jealous Chen Yue would be every time he saw Jiang Long talking to Huang Dan, not only talking but also getting so close. He was watching from behind, and several times he almost couldn’t help but throw the ballpoint pen in his hand at the other person.
There were many people on the playground, and they were all wearing school uniforms. If you look around, they are all blue and white. After looking at them for a long time, you will feel a little tired visually.
Huang Dan’s lips tightened. Chen Yue’s school jacket was also lost back then. It was lost by the monitor. He didn’t know how he found it later. He didn’t care, so he didn’t ask about the details.
“Look for it separately.”
After Chen Yue finished speaking, he left. Seeing Huang Dan’s frown so tight, he felt uncomfortable, as if the sky was falling.
Huang Dan wandered around the area and then changed places to look. He overheard a few girls talking about Chen Yue. He stopped and lowered his eyelids and listened.
“Isn’t he so handsome? He was so far behind, yet he was able to catch up one after another. He ran like a gust of wind, and his eyes were so determined. I felt like crying outside the track.”
“Ai, me too. I wanted to go over and give him some water, but I was embarrassed. If I could catch him, it would be a great honor to go out.”
“You can’t catch him, haven’t you heard? He and Huang Dan are the two hardest to catch.”
“How will you know if you don’t try? Besides, even if you are rejected by him, it is better than not trying at all.”
“We are all in the same school and we will always see each other. Wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
“What are you afraid of? If you are rejected by him face to face, just say that you hope to be ordinary friends with him. He won’t even reject you as a friend.”
“What if he rejects it too?”
“The worst that could happen is that I would just want to find a hole in the ground to crawl into and be fine after a day. Besides, there were many girls around and they wouldn’t remember who was who when I ran into them.”
The girl’s face was full of youth, and her brows and eyes were filled with the courage and optimism that only belonged to her youth.
Huang Dan raised his feet and left.
When Chen Yue came back, he was holding his school jacket in his hand. He kicked the youngster sitting on the steps very lightly, as if he was tickling, “Let’s go.”
Huang Dan raised his head.
Chen Yue was afraid of looking into the youngster’s eyes. He felt that there was electricity in there, which could magically flow from his eyes straight to his own heart. It spread all over his body in an instant, “What the hell are you doing sitting in daze?”
Huang Dan asked, “Where did you find it?”
Chen Yue sneered and said that a girl took it away, holding his school jacket and waiting for him to find it.
Huang Dan said Oh. It was similar to what he had guessed. The girl took away the school jacket because she wanted to say a few words to Chen Yue so that the other party would notice her. She would be very happy to be in contact with the person she likes.
Chen Yue was sweating and sticky. He simply wiped his head and face with his school jacket, and wiped his neck as well. “What was our class rank?”
Huang Dan said, “The overall score is first.”
Chen Yue twitched. He found something to say, but it was gone. He had to find another one, “You threw that shot put and didn’t get a single point. Are you too stupid?”
Huang Dan said in heart because you were looking at me, “It’s not easy to throw away.”
Chen Yue’s eyes were full of contempt, “That thing is not difficult at all, isn’t it just a matter of throwing it away?”
Huang Dan said, “You can do it, but I can’t.”
Chen Yue’s figure froze, he bent his back and came closer, teasing shamelessly, and he was extremely nervous, “Does this mean you admired LaoZi?”
Huang Dan raised his eyes, “You are good at sports, I am not.”
Chen Yue maintained that movement. He liked it. He could see the youngster’s long and curved eyelashes clearly. Every time he blinked, his heart tingled, “So are you admiring LaoZi?”
Huang Dan said, “The class teacher is here.”
Chen Yue raised an arm and put it on the youngster’s shoulder like a buddy, pulling him forward with his usual sly smile on his face, “Don’t change the subject.”
Huang Dan said, “He is behind you.”
Chen Yue turned around and met the class teacher. He still didn’t have a formal expression and lazily greeted him, “Teacher.”
Old Wei came over limping, and in his eyes, Chen Yue was bullying his classmates, so he immediately reached out to save him, “Didn’t you hear your name being called on the broadcast? If you don’t go on stage to receive the award now, then when will you go?”
Chen Yue’s arms were empty, and he clicked his tongue, feeling quite disappointed. Why were there always people sabotaging him when he was happy?
Old Wei asked Chen Yue to hurry up and receive the award. He looked at the student he was most proud of and said, “Are you okay?”
Huang Dan shook his head.
Chen Yue turned his head and whistled, but Old Wei grabbed his arm and pulled him towards the award podium. He didn’t look back, waved his hand and said, “Thank you.”
Huang Dan didn’t ask Chen Yue what he was thanking for, it wasn’t important.
The sports competition ended successfully. Everyone went back to their houses to eat and drink. After a day, they returned to school. What needs to be faced must be faced. They haven’t even written the 1,000-word review yet, and it has to be submitted on Monday. There is no way to delay it. They complained all the time. They have to write a review for a sports competition. Where can they find 1,000 words?
Practically terrible.
There is a lot of noise in the class. As long as there’s no class, there will be chattering, and not sure where there are so many things to talk about either.
Chen Yue drew a castle on the back of the certificate. It was a little crooked when he composed the picture, but the rest was fine, including trees, lakes, grass, and a rose garden.
Liu Feng asked curiously, “What did you draw?”
Chen Yue was painting roses, one after another, “My home.”
Liu Feng rolled his eyes, “What the hell, why didn’t I know that your house had transformed from a two-story building into a castle?”
Chen Yue found the ugliest rose in the garden. He erased it with an eraser and painted the petals piece by piece, “My future home.”
Liu Feng’s eyes widened when he heard this, and his spittle flew everywhere, “Bro, stop teasing me. If you can afford to buy a castle in the future, I will take your last name.”
Chen Yue said, “In your dreams.”
Liu Feng had a mouthful of blood stuck in his throat. He saw Chen Yue draw a little man in a large rose garden, “What is this anyway?”
Chen Yue took the certificate farther away and squinted at it. The face is right, and the eyelashes are long enough. Yeah, very good. He continued to draw a mouth for the little man, “Of course, the one who can live in my house is my wife.”
Liu Feng thought Chen Yue was joking with him, so he joked, “Classmate Chen Yue, shouldn’t your future wife have long legs, protruding front and back, and be as beautiful as a flower? How can she be so small?”
He will also fantasize about what he will be like when he grows up. As a human being, daydreams are all about being beautiful and doing things.
Chen Yue had no flaws at all, “This is called art, you don’t understand.”
Liu Feng realized that Chen Yue was not joking. He was drawing very seriously. He looked like Prince Charming from a fairy tale. He took a step back in shock and stared at him with a ghostly look, “Damn, you are still the Chen Yue I know, right?”
Chen Yue blew off the eraser scraps on the paper and checked to see if there were any areas that were not drawn well. This certificate is his, and it also comes from Huang Dan, so he should keep it well.
Liu Feng was in shock, “You’re making me sick to death. You were rejected a few days ago and looked half dead, which was scary enough. Now you’re even doing this. Have you suffered a huge blow and are mentally ill?”
Chen Yue kicked him and said, “LaoZi is fine. Go play somewhere else, don’t shout terribly from the side.”
Liu Feng sat back in his seat and glanced at his buddy. He shook his head sympathetically. What good is it to be handsome? You will still be rejected and you can only dream.
There was a tape recorder on the podium. A small number of people were half-heartedly chanting the words, and most of them were chatting with people at the front and back tables, and a few were sleeping.
Chen Yue stood up and turned off the tape recorder and changed the English tape inside. He turned it on again and the song 《I Only Care About You》 was played.
This is an old song that everyone is very familiar with. As soon as the tune is played, they all start singing along.
“If I hadn’t met you, where would I be? How was my life? Should I cherish life? Maybe I would know someone and live an ordinary life……”
The further the song went on, the more everyone sang in unison. The girls were more melancholy, and immersed in their own little emotions. The boys were also thoughtful, but two-thirds of them were just making fun of each other and didn’t have so many thoughts in their hearts.
At noon the next day, there was a football match between Class 5 and Class 4. The whole class of Class 4 went out. Class 5 could not lose face. Everyone in the classroom went to cheer for the boys in the class.
Jiang Long asked as he walked, “Huang Dan, can you play basketball?”
Huang Dan said, “No.”
Jiang Long said that he didn’t know how to play it either, “They can only play for a while in the first year of high school. Don’t even think about it when they are in the second and third year of high school. The class teacher will punish them every time.”
There were more people on the playground than Huang Dan imagined, and he was pulled in by Jiang Long.
When girls see Huang Dan, they blush and their hearts beat faster. They want to look at him but are embarrassed.
Huang Dan and Jiang Long stood at the front and saw Chen Yue, the tallest boy, who stood out.
Jiang Long was envious, “He knows how to play basketball well. He can attract girls’ attention.”
Chen Yue was talking to the person next to him. He accidentally turned his eyes and caught a figure, and he couldn’t help but raise the corners of his lips.
The girls around Huang Dan thought that Chen Yue was looking at them, and they all looked a little shy.
The next scene plunged the scene into chaos.
Chen Yue recited a name in his heart, put his hand to his mouth and shouted loudly, “I like you——”
Everyone present looked towards Huang Dan, but no one thought that the other person involved was him. According to normal thinking, it must be a girl near him.
Everyone was talking a lot, especially those in Class 5. They didn’t even know about such a big deal.
The trend of discussion changed from guessing who the girl was to that this was Chen Yue’s prank. He didn’t like any girl at all and was just trying to be cool.
Liu Feng bumped into Chen Yue and said, “What does this mean? If you have the guts, just shout out her name.”
Chen Yue was in a good mood, with a smile on his face, “You know how to use the provocation method? But this method is useless to me.”
Liu Feng ,“……”
Huang Dan listened to the discussions and speculations around him, but he had no reaction.
The game hadn’t started yet, and both teams were warming up, discussing strategies, and trying to get a feel for the game.
Chen Yue grabbed the collar of his T-shirt to wipe his sweat. He ran backwards and deliberately threw the ball towards Huang Dan while controlling not to hurt the other party.
“Hey, bring it here!”
Huang Dan picked up the basketball that rolled to his feet and walked towards Chen Yue.
Chen Yue didn’t receive, “Throw one in and see.”
Huang Dan took the ball and threw it up. The force came out so hard that the ball flew far away.
Everyone laughed and said that geniuses are not omnipotent.
Huang Dan ignored other people’s smiles and only looked at Chen Yue’s smiling face, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
Chen Yue stopped smiling, his eyes straightened, and he blurted out, “You look so pretty when you smile.”
Huang Dan heard it, but pretended not to hear clearly, “What?”
Chen Yue scratched the back of his head and said it was nothing. He ran over, picked up the ball, came back and threw it casually, and it was a three-pointer.
The site became more and more enliven.
Huang Dan didn’t like this kind of sport, where one had to run around covered in sweat, and limbs would inevitably collide, just to fight for a ball.
With Huang Dan around, Chen Yue always took a look unconsciously. He performed abnormally and scored fewer points than usual.
The result of the game was a tie between the two classes.
There were not many people in the classroom. They were all in the dormitory, drinking water, eating, washing their faces and taking a shower. They had a lot to do.
Huang Dan didn’t go to the dormitory. He took out an exercise book and did the questions.
Chen Yue walked up to the podium from behind. He took half a piece of chalk and wrote on the blackboard, making a gesture of throwing the chalk at Huang Dan.
Huang Dan subconsciously used his hands to block it, but was not hit. He heard the boy’s naughty laughter.
Chen Yue spread his hand, with the piece of chalk still in his palm. He flicked the piece of chalk onto the podium and glanced at the youngster, “Fool.”
Huang Dan,“……”
Chen Yue lay on his textbook, “Hey, what is your dream?”
Huang Dan said, “I haven’t any.”
Chen Yue laughed out loud, “How could it be possible to have none? This was the topic of the last essay.”
Huang Dan thought for a while and said, “I hope the people I care about can be safe. Is this regarded as a dream?”
Chen Yue’s expression changed. Someone he cares about? Who is it? He was in a state of confusion, flipping through the draft papers on the table with his hand, “It doesn’t count, change it.”
Huang Dan said, “Then there can only be world peace.”
Chen Yue’s face twitched. He found that the youngster always looked like this, serious, calm, and at the same time indifferent. Even if he said something full of humor, he still looked the same, “I heard you are difficult to chase.”
Huang Dan said, “I heard you are too.”
Chen Yue laughed, “That’s really a coincidence.”
“I also heard that many people are betting on which of us will be chased by a girl first. Guess who will be first?”
Huang Dan said, “I won’t guess.”
Chen Yue gritted his teeth. All his brain cells were used on this person. Why was it so difficult to test something?, “Guess?”
Huang Dan said, “I won’t.”
Chen Yue chuckled, “You just don’t want to guess, right? OK, I’ll spread your phone number today.”
Huang Dan said, “You won’t.”
Chen Yue couldn’t laugh or cry, he finally fell in love with someone, even though that person was a boy, his IQ was even higher than his own.
“Why do you say I won’t do that?”
Huang Dan didn’t tell him further, fearing that if he said too much he would be unable to help but make changes, “I’m going to take a nap.”
Not willing to talk after a while. Chen Yue stared at the youngster’s hair. He went to the corridor to get some air, then walked back to the classroom, looking like he had nothing to do.
Huang Dan was lying on the desk with his eyes closed and breathing evenly.
The beast in Chen Yue’s heart became restless and wanted to run out. He looked at the other people in the classroom and found that they were all sleeping.
After a pause, Chen Yue walked to the youngster’s desk and bent down, “Hey.”
The youngster didn’t respond.
One second, two seconds… Chen Yue counted to ten seconds in his mind. He secretly kissed the youngster’s cheek and ran away after kissing him.
Huang Dan opened his eyes and closed them again.
In the corridor, Chen Yue squatted and leaned against the wall, his face flushed in his arms.
After more than half a month of calm. Liu Feng just returned to school from home on the afternoon of the weekend. He found Chen Yue in the dormitory and asked, “Has your dad’s unit changed?”
Chen Yue was wiping the poster with tissue. He wiped it every day, so precious. “There’s nothing like that”
Liu Feng threw his schoolbag on his bed, grabbed the railing and looked at Chen Yue, “I heard my mom talking about this.”
Chen Yue was still wiping the poster, “What did your mom say?”
Liu Feng was silent for a while before speaking without talking nonsense to him this time, “When are you leaving?”
Chen Yue crumpled the tissue into a ball and threw it into the trash can. He jumped out of bed and left the dormitory.
Liu Feng caught up with Chen Yue, “No matter what it is, you can tell me. We are buddies, understand?”
Chen Yue told him not to follow him.
Liu Feng shouted to Chen Yue’s back, “We are buddies for life, forever!”
Chen Yue found a place to squat down, randomly found a few small stones on the ground, grabbed one and threw it up, grabbed another one from the ground before it fell, and then caught the one that fell.
He caught all the stones on the ground and threw them back, repeating these actions.
Every class has a big mouth, but not Liu Feng. He is very loyal and will not tell anyone about Chen Yue’s matter.
Chen Yue did whatever he was supposed to do, and no one saw anything unusual about him.
Except Huang Dan.
But he couldn’t do anything, especially when the turning point in Chen Yue’s life was about to appear, he didn’t want to stir anything.
Chen Yue is as popular as Huang Dan, and the girls who like him are different. No matter what kind of girl he faced, he has never been attracted to her. But he had that feeling the first time he saw Huang Dan.
God was playing tricks on him, letting him meet Huang Dan and falling in love, but not letting him get it.
Chen Yue secretly sent Huang Dan home that night, but was blocked by a girl on his way back to school. Listening to the girl’s stammering confession, he felt that he would not be much better by then.
No matter how sharp-tongued he usually is, he will become stupid in front of the people he likes, say some strange words, and do some strange things.
After hearing this, Chen Yue spoke up, “You knew I would refuse, so why did you still confess your love?”
The girl blushed and said, “I……I wrote you a lot of love letters, but I didn’t leave my name on them. You didn’t know it was me.”
Chen Yue was waiting for next.
The girl’s voice was very low, “Originally, I wanted to hide my love for you, and I also wanted to write you a love letter every day like before.”
Chen Yue was thinking about something, and his mind was filled with that person, “Why do you want to tell me again?”
The girl’s eyes were moist, “I don’t want to have any regrets.”
Chen Yue looked at the wishing bottle in her hand, “What you said makes sense.”
“The rumors in the school are true. I have someone I like and I’m chasing him.”
A few days later, after the second period of evening self-study, Huang Dan walked to the school gate with his schoolbag on his back. He met Chen Yue halfway, who was waiting for him.
Not long after, they were standing behind the cabin where the playground equipment was kept, and there was silence all around.
Chen Yue put his hands in his pockets and pinched the five-pointed star, “I want to ask you something.”
Huang Dan said, “Ask.”
Chen Yue kicked the dirt on the ground, “Do you have someone you like?”
Huang Dan gave the same answer as before, “No.”
“Then you……”
Probably because he was nervous, Chen Yue started to stutter when he spoke, and it took him a long time to say a word.
A love letter takes more than two hundred days to prepare. The courage required to express love in person is unimaginable. You will only know by personal experience.
Chen Yue’s hands in his pockets were clenched into fists, and he was so nervous that he was covered in sweat. The word “like” used up all his strength.
He thought that he would never feel like this again in his life, being willing to be a fool for one person.
After hearing Chen Yue’s confession, Huang Dan said he doesn’t like him.
Chen Yue’s body was stiff, his face was hot, his breathing was shaky, and he couldn’t say anything.
The result was expected, but it did not affect the loss and discomfort at all.
Chen Yue originally planned to wait until Children’s Day before confessing his love, and then ask Huang Dan out to find a suitable opportunity, but he has no choice now.
Huang Dan felt sad, but his face was indifferent.
Chen Yue noticed that the youngster had no emotion, so he smiled with ridicule, “Don’t you think it’s abnormal for a boy to say he likes you?”
There was no need to use disgusting or perverted words. Chen Yue does not want to describe his love for Huang Dan in this way.
“It doesn’t matter.”
Huang Dan was telling the truth. Chen Yue was not the first boy to be interested in him. He didn’t take it seriously. It just hurts people’s self-esteem.
At that time, Huang Dan answered like this, but he didn’t think about it. He just thought it was irrelevant. He would forget it after hearing it and would not put it in his memory.
Chen Yue grabbed Huang Dan’s collar, lifted him up, and kissed him hard on the forehead, “This way also doesn’t matter?”
Huang Dan’s eyelids twitched, something he didn’t do back then.
Chen Yue’s eyes were scarlet, and he felt extremely wronged. It was not the rejection from Huang Dan, but the complete disregard. He felt that he was not singing a one-man show, but he didn’t even climb up the stage.
He sneered, “What about this?”
As he said that, he pushed Huang Dan against the wall and pressed himself up too, with obvious coercion and humiliation.
Huang Dan’s complexion was ordinary.
“This doesn’t matter too? Okay, you have the guts. LaoZi doesn’t like anyone, but just fucking like you. LaoZi admits defeat!”
Chen Yue wanted to hit Huang Dan, and he clenched his fist and swung it, but it hit the wall. Then he squatted on the ground and cried.
Damn it, crying my ass off, Chen Yue thought while crying, just once, I won’t cry again.
No matter how much he pretends to be an adult, he is still a teenager after all. The pressure he can bear is limited, and he cannot hold much in his heart.
Chen Yue cried very sadly and was confused. He didn’t want to leave the city, he didn’t want to pass, he didn’t want to leave Class 5, and the last thing he wanted to do was to leave his princess.
His father said that life is full of reunions and separations, and that they were destined to come thousands of miles to meet each other, but he didn’t know if he and his princess were destined to meet each other.
The world is so big, it’s hard to find someone. Chen Yue doesn’t know where his princess will be, living what kind of life, and with whom when he buys a castle in the future.
If there is no princess, why would he buy a castle?
Such a very ordinary night, with wind, moon and stars, was a little more sad because of the boy’s suppressed cries.
Huang Dan didn’t say anything back then, he just lowered his eyelids and watched Chen Yue cry condescendingly, but now the moment he saw Chen Yue cry, he cried too.
Without staying long, Huang Dan turned around and left. He walked very quickly, tears streaming down his face unknowingly.
This Arc is finally over. Final Arc in April. Bye 👋
