Class 2 won the debate competition and took home the championship.
After returning, the students of Class 1 held a small class meeting and expressed their determination to make persistent efforts in the future. When the monitor spoke on stage, he said words of comfort: "Everyone's performance today is already very good. Relax your mind. Winning or losing is secondary, and friendship is the first." He thought for a moment and added, "Class 2 performed well, and it is also worth learning from."
all the classmates:"… "
Their class monitor has been staring at Class 2 from the very beginning of the debate, praising and applauding. It turns out that he has a learning mentality!
Anyway, a small competition did enhance the friendship between the two classes. The students of Class 2 were overjoyed to win the championship, and they were very happy when they put the certificate on the class honor wall at the back. However, the league secretary said that this was an exceptional performance, and everyone should just be happy. In addition to extracurricular activities, learning should be put first. Class 1 monitor Bai also said the same thing, but it had no effect at all. The students of Class 1 said, "I won't listen. We can only win if we work hard!"
The class monitor doesn't have much ambition, it all depends on the students' own efforts!
Overall, the two classes started a healthy competition.
As long as no one from the neighboring class went to the cafeteria to eat, the other class would not leave the classroom first. Every time, Monitor Bai would be the first to go out and call the League Secretary of the neighboring class to go out to eat. Then everyone would quickly pack up their books and follow. The two classes would also work hard to practice questions during breaks, for fear of doing one less set than the neighboring class.
This made the teacher very happy. He hadn’t seen such an easy-to-teach student in many years!
Mi Yang took the math test during the day and felt that he did okay. He returned to the dormitory at night, washed up and prepared to go to bed. While he was brushing his teeth, he heard his classmates in the dormitory discussing their answers to today's math test. Everyone was a little nervous. After all, they all came from different schools and the quality of teaching was also different. The ranking based on the results put a lot of pressure on many people.
Someone also asked Mi Yang about the answers to the last few big questions. Mi Yang thought about it and told them. Immediately, a few people in the dormitory breathed a sigh of relief, while someone wailed after being confused: "It's over. I'm different from you. I must have made a mistake. What should I do? This is a 15-point question! I'm going to hold back our entire class. If our score is lower than Class 1 this time..."
Two knocking sounds were heard, and the boy standing outside the door walked in as naturally as if he was returning to his dormitory, and his eyes quickly fell on Mi Yang.
Mi Yang glanced at him and quickly rinsed his mouth: "Wait a minute, it will be ready soon."
The student on the upper bunk was lying there, still confessing: "I was wrong, I was really wrong. If I had known, I shouldn't have solved the problem this way. I will be the eternal sinner of the class for losing these 15 points. If we lose to Class 1, it's because... What's wrong? Why do you keep knocking on my legs?"
The classmate next to him coughed.
The boy on the upper bunk sat up and took a look, and saw Bai Luochuan from Class 1 standing on the balcony of their dormitory waiting for Mi Yang to finish washing up. He didn't know how much he heard, but he didn't seem to care at all.
The boy waved his hand and said, "It's okay, Bai Luochuan is from our class, right, monitor Bai?"
Bai Luochuan smiled and said, "Yes."
Mi Yang also laughed when he heard this, but didn't say anything. He quickly washed up, put his toothbrush and cup back, and was about to go out with Bai Luochuan.
Bai Luochuan was waiting on the side, not in a hurry. Instead, he wiped the corner of his mouth with his thumb and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you? You're as irritable as a child."
Mi Yang wiped it twice more, and Bai Luochuan nodded and said it was okay, then he followed him out.
A classmate in the dormitory asked him: "Mi Yang, where are you going? To the canteen?"
Mi Yang said: "On the way to the playground, we should pass by there."
The classmate thought for a moment and said, "Can you bring me a pack of instant noodles?"
Before Mi Yang could say anything, Bai Luochuan said, "You guys go to the next dormitory. This is the key to my cabinet. There are more than a dozen bags of instant noodles in it. Go get them yourself." He threw the small key over. The student opposite took it with many thanks, shook his sleeves, bowed to him, and said with a smile, "Farewell, Your Majesty!"
Bai Luochuan took Mi Yang to the playground. It was past ten o'clock, and there were no people running on the school playground at this time in the evening. Only one or two people passed by memorizing words occasionally. They were probably afraid of disturbing other students in the dormitory, so they came here to study hard.
The playground is paved with an orange rubber track, which is very soft to step on. There is a street lamp every ten meters or so. It is dark in places with heavy shadows from the trees and you can't see anything. You can only hear the rustling sound of leaves in the wind at night.
Bai Luochuan took him for a short walk, asking him about trivial matters. When they came to a street lamp, he stopped and said, "Little sweetheart, I have something to give you." He handed a small box to Mi Yang, waiting for him to open it, and said nervously, "It didn't take long to prepare, but after thinking about it, this is the best. I don't know if you like it."
The small box felt heavy in his hand, and when Mi Yang opened it, he saw a red chalcedony butterfly. It was a very small butterfly, exquisitely crafted, inlaid with black and gold patterns, and its outstretched wings were lifelike, red like fire, rich and bright like blood, and the light flashing under the lamplight was like a flowing touch of red.
Bai Luochuan was still whispering, "I went to the mall that day to see if you had anything you liked, but since you didn't seem interested in anything, I simply didn't buy anything and prepared this. I told them to make it into a bookmark, but they were so stupid that they only understood after I repeated it several times, and they almost made it into jewelry."
From this simple perspective, a piece of deep red chalcedony with such high purity is more suitable for making jewelry.
Mi Yang took it in his hand and played with it for a while. The cool touch on his palm was very comfortable. "It's a bit like the little butterfly during military training."
Bai Luochuan became happy again and said, "Yes, that's the one. You still remember it, right? You can put it away this time. You don't have to just remember it."
Mi Yang hesitated and asked, "Is this... a reward for winning the debate?"
Bai Luochuan smiled, moved closer to him, and said affectionately, "No, it's a birthday present. Did you even forget your own birthday? Happy birthday, little darling."
Mi Yang looked up at him: "Tomorrow is it?"
Bai Luochuan snorted, "I'll be the first to tell you at 12 o'clock."
Mi Yang laughed, looked down at the gift and said, "It's a pity that I can't treat you to cake."
Bai Luochuan said: "Tomorrow, tomorrow at noon..."
Mi Yang interrupted him: "You didn't ask someone to send a cake over at noon, did you? Let me guess, it's the kind with several layers, and it's very big."
Bai Luochuan: “…”
Bai Luochuan said: "Just share it with everyone. There are so many classmates anyway."
Mi Yang thought for a moment, scratched his chin and said, "No need, we still have to light candles, and it would be embarrassing to make a wish in public."
Bai Luochuan said stubbornly: "Then you have to make a wish, right? Don't you have anything you want?"
Mi Yang thought for a moment and said, "There really is one. Don't ask anyone to send a cake. I will make a wish in advance today."
Bai Luochuan said dissatisfiedly: "There are no candles. If I had known, I would have asked someone to deliver the cake today, just in time for 12 o'clock."
Mi Yang smiled and said, "No need, I have this." He shook the small box in his hand, took out the carnelian butterfly and held it in his palm, clasped his hands together and placed them on his chin and began to make a wish. He closed his eyes for a while before opening them again, with a smile still on the corner of his lips.
Bai Luochuan asked curiously: "What wish did you make?"
Mi Yang said: "Everyone is healthy, let's study and make progress!"
Bai Luochuan asked: "Anything else? Is there anything about you?"
Mi Yang's gaze fell on his stubborn eyes, then moved away, lowered his head and smiled: "There is one, but it will take a long time to realize it. Even if this time... It's not so smooth, I also want to take the initiative and try my best to win it."
Bai Luochuan didn't understand and asked, "What did you take? Can I help? Or can you tell me?"
Mi Yang shook his head, put the small box into his pocket, accepted the beautiful little gift, and said with a smile: "Wait two years. If I can't do it, I will ask you for help again."
The birthday boy is the most important. When Bai Luochuan heard him say that, he nodded and said, "Okay."
When the person receiving the gift was satisfied, the person giving the gift also felt satisfied. Bai Luochuan accompanied him to complete the remaining half of the circle, and the two returned to the dormitory together.
Bai Luochuan saw him off and then returned to his own dormitory next door.
All the rooms in the first year of high school were six-person rooms. After Bai Luochuan switched with other classmates, he could only live in the dormitory next to Mi Yang. The two of them were separated by a wall, lying on the lower bunk in the same position.
After the lights in the dormitory were turned off at night, Mi Yang couldn't sleep. He turned over and faced the wall, reached out and touched the cold wall.
Bai Luochuan slept opposite them. Strictly speaking, this was the first time they slept separately.
During the military training, he was so tired that he fell asleep immediately. He didn't have much time to think about these things when he was busy, but he still had dark circles under his eyes. He thought he had given up the pillow, but then he realized that he was able to fall asleep without the pillow because of Bai Luochuan. Because this person has always been by his side, he is so familiar with him that he can replace the small pillow. As long as he is there, Mi Yang can always fall asleep quickly and peacefully.
Bai Luochuan asked him if he slept well during military training, and he could now answer that he slept well at all.
After more than ten years of habit, it has become a matter of course. Without the other person by my side, it feels like something important is missing, and I always feel a little uncomfortable. Mi Yang unconsciously stretched out his fingers to pinch a corner of the pillow, but felt that the touch was not right, so he let go and turned over.
He wanted to know what Master Bai across from him was doing now. Was he also lying on his side facing the wall, feeling uncomfortable? Usually at this time, Master Bai would deliberately pull his wrist and lazily ask him to tell a story before he would go to sleep.
Just thinking about this, Mi Yang's eyes relaxed and the corners of his lips slightly raised.
Bai Luochuan was lying on the bed in the dormitory next door, with his arms under his head, his eyes closed and not saying a word.
There was a lot of discussion in the dormitory. Just after the start of the school, someone ranked the girls in each class and selected a school beauty. Someone said excitedly, "I told you Ningning from Class 2 will definitely be chosen. I heard that she can play the piano. She was recruited as a special student and has won many awards. She is very talented!"
Another one was not convinced: "Not necessarily, I think the beauty in Class 10 is pretty good too!"
The person on the upper bunk snorted, "How is she better than Ningning?"
Someone whispered, "What a nice figure."
The whole dormitory burst into laughter.
Although the boy on the upper bunk supported Ningning, he also sighed: "It's a pity that Ningning already has someone she likes."
The gossiper immediately asked, "Is it true? The school has just started, who does the school beauty like? Where did you hear that?"
The man snorted, "The League Secretary of Class 2, Mi Yang! I heard they've been together since military training."
Bai Luochuan said with a dark face: "Nonsense."
The man said, "Really? A childhood friend of mine is in Class 2. He told me that Ningning wrote a letter to Mi Yang. She was embarrassed to give it to him herself, but it was not appropriate to leave it in the class, so she asked my childhood friend to pass it on! Oh, you don't know, my buddy blushed at the time, and thought he was receiving a love letter!"
Bai Luochuan's face turned even worse: "When did it happen?"
"It was just two days ago, Brother Bai, you won't care, will you?"
Bai Luochuan said: "I am his brother, shouldn't I care about him?"
The classmate said with a smile: "Brother Bai, you are so strict. If Mi Yang was a grown-up girl, I would have thought you two were dating! You are too strict."
Bai Luochuan said with an unhappy look on his face: "How old is he? What kind of person is he dating? There is no good ending for premature love."
The classmate said: "Yes, yes, the monitor is right!"
The people in the dormitory felt that Bai Luochuan was worthy of being the class monitor, and he was very conscious. When the boys got together, they would always discuss which girl had a good figure or a pretty face, but Bai Luochuan had no such awareness at all. Not only that, he also strictly managed his younger brother and did not allow him to have any contact with them. He could be said to be a particularly responsible brother.
Some people are still sighing: "I think Mi Yang is very polite to girls. Girls all say he is nice and gentlemanly..."
Bai Luochuan interrupted impatiently: "That's because he has a younger sister at home, so he is used to taking care of people."
"No wonder, squad leader, you and Mi Yang's family are also very familiar with each other, right? Are you relatives?"
Bai Luochuan said in a muffled voice: "No, childhood friend."
Everyone got some gossip and chatted more happily, but they were not very interested in boys after all, so they soon turned to the girls, talking about who had a girlfriend in junior high school, what gifts they gave, and how much effort they had to get to please their girlfriend. Speaking of this, Bai Luochuan was naturally mentioned again, and someone asked curiously: "Hey Brother Bai, where is your girlfriend, the one who gave you beef jerky, how did you pursue her in the first place?"
Bai Luochuan was silent for a while, then said lazily, "He is my childhood friend."
Some people protested: "Why is it our childhood friend again? The monitor is fooling us!"
"That's right, that's right! I strongly demand details!"
Bai Luochuan refused to speak, and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep. But falling asleep was not so easy, listening to the conversation beside him, he was thinking about the person in his heart.
Bai Luochuan thought about how he would give Mi Yang his favorite basketball, clothes, and game consoles on his birthday. Regardless of whether Mi Yang liked it or not, he would give him his best. But now, he began to pay attention to Mi Yang's gaze, to see what he paid more attention to, and couldn't help but observe him and figure out what he wanted.
Bai Luochuan had never tried so hard to please someone, and he did it willingly.
This is no longer the kind of love I have for my younger brother.
Bai Luochuan had never given such devotion to others. He had always had this figure following him from childhood to adulthood. Since he learned to walk with his short legs, there had never been anyone else. He had always protected Mi Yang, regarded himself as a brother, and treated Mi Yang better than anyone else. But he had never thought that one day, as if he suddenly opened his eyes, he could only see him in the bustling crowd.
That kind of heart-pounding feeling is called love.
Bai Luochuan lay there for a long time before he figured out one thing.
He seems to be in love too early.
The person he likes is different, not a girl, but someone like him. He frowned for a moment, then quickly relaxed, and his inner entanglement quickly turned into relief. He had looked up books and read some materials after the summer vacation, and his situation was not uncommon.
The person he likes is too young, so he has to wait several years. Because of this, he has several years to figure things out thoroughly, to figure out his own thoughts and Mi Yang's thoughts, and then prepare for the future.
It was like a giant dragon coiling its body to protect its treasure, and he could watch the other party grow up.
Grow until the wings are fully grown and the scales and teeth are sharp.
