Lin Qile sat by the bus window, her eyes swollen, looking out the window. Duchamp asked her why her eyes looked like that so early in the morning: "Cherry, what's wrong with you? Did you cry?"
Lin Qile looked ahead and heard Qin Yeyun and Cai Fangyuan arguing in front of the car.
"What does it have to do with me? How do I know why Yu Jinwen's Quxing password is my birthday?" Qin Yeyun collapsed.
Cai Fangyuan said: "Have you seen it? You insist on being Yu Qiao's sister. From now on, you will be his sister-in-law!"
Yu Qiao was reading the Sports Weekly from the side. At first, she was biting the milk bag to hold back her laughter, but she couldn't help laughing when she heard this. Qin Yeyun's face flushed with anger. She stared at Yu Qiao's face, biting her lips and shaking.
All he could hear was Du Shang whispering in Lin Qile's ear: "It's bad, it's bad, they're going to cry over there too."
Yu Qiao almost got a stitch in his side from laughing. He covered his school uniform with his hands. He raised his head and said, "Qin Yeyun, Yu Jin likes you. Why are you crying?"
As soon as the bus stopped, Qin Yeyun got off the bus wiping her tears.
Before the morning reading, Lin Qile had been waiting for Qin Yeyun at the door of Liberal Arts Class 3, but the people in Class 3 said that Qin Yeyun asked her to go back: "She said she didn't want to talk to you, and didn't want to see you."
Lin Qile felt confused. She wanted to find Qin Yeyun to scold Yu Qiao together, because she knew very well that Yu Qiao was a person who could not understand what other people were thinking. He spoke and acted without considering the occasion and was extremely annoying.
But Qin Yeyun seemed to be in a bad mood. She hated Yu Qiao and Cai Fangyuan, so she hated Lin Qile as well. Lin Qile returned to Class 18 and sat back in her seat. Yu Qiao touched her with a water cup from behind, but Lin Qile ignored him. She expressed deep sympathy for Qin Yeyun.
Huang Zhanjie took Yu Qiao's cup from the side, and then asked Lin Qile: "Auntie, do you want me to get you some water today?"
Qin Yeyun didn't show up until noon. Lin Qile and Du Shang were eating in the canteen when Qin Yeyun came in in a hurry. She walked to the table where Yu Qiao and the boys from the school team were sitting and said, "Give me your phone!"
Yu Qiao was eating and looked up: "What are you doing?"
Qin Yeyun looked at him: "Don't worry about it, give it to me!"
The boys around him started to make a noise again, saying that Yu Qiao had made his sister angry again. Yu Qiao had no choice but to take out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and asked the guy sitting next to him to pass it to Qin Yeyun, and he continued to eat.
Qin Yeyun took Yu Qiao's phone. There was laughter all around, but she ignored it. She turned on the screen of Yu Qiao's phone and saw that the screen saver was a photo of a fighter jet.

Qin Yeyun swallowed her saliva, her fingers trembling as she moved upwards.

Qin Yeyun suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. She threw her phone on the school team's dining table and said to Yu Qiao, "Here you go. I won't read it anymore!"
Yu Qiao frowned, having no idea what this person was up to.
Qin Yeyun did not sit next to Yu Qiao today. She went to the window to buy a meal, then took the plate and sat next to Lin Qile and Du Shang.
"Are you okay?" Lin Qile asked her.
Qin Yeyun looked calm and composed. She lifted her hair from her shoulders, put down her chopsticks, and suddenly leaned over to Lin Qile's ear and spoke.
"Did you know that Cen Xiaoman cried in the girls' bathroom again today? There were so many people there to comfort her!"
"Why are you crying?" Lin Qile was confused.
Qin Yeyun looked at her face and said, "You really don't know?"
Since coming to the school, Lin Qile has not spoken a word to Cen Xiaoman. Although they are classmates, they don't interact with each other at all.
Besides, Cen Xiaoman has such a good relationship with Feilinger, so he probably hates her.
"Cen Xiaoman is very popular," Qin Yeyun told her, "Do you still remember when you wrote a letter to Jiang Qiaoxi in junior high school? I don't know what happened, but she was crying in the girls' bathroom at the time, and there were people all around comforting her. I remember it very clearly, because I was almost suffocating and almost didn't go to the bathroom during that break!"
Lin Qile was confused: "So what?"
Qin Yeyun said: "Are you and Jiang Qiaoxi in a premature relationship again?"
Lin Qile was even more confused and shook his head: "No!"
Qin Yeyun said: "Then why did she cry for so long?"
Lin Qile said: "How would I know?"
Duchamp said, why do girls love to cry so much
Lin Qile stood at the door of Class 15 and was about to part with him. Lin Qile said, "Who would want to cry when everything is fine?"
Duchamp thought about it and agreed.
Jiang Qiaoxi didn't come to school for two days. During the break, Lin Qile took a nap on the table with his cheek pressed against the surface. He didn't know how to sleep or sit properly.
Huang Zhanjie, a classmate, asked Yu Qiao: "What happened to her today?"
Yu Qiao was doing his chemistry homework and said, "Congratulations, I finally saw her true form."
Huang Zhanjie was even more confused.
There was only a black cup with a quote from General Eisenhower printed on it, placed at the corner of Lin Qile's desk. During the self-study class, Lin Qile suddenly raised his eyes and looked at the cup.
Jiang Qiaoxi said, Can I call you again tonight
Lin Qile didn’t understand: Just call, I can choose not to answer, why are you still asking
Lin Qile lowered his head and continued to work on the questions on the test paper. Halfway through, Lin Qile suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky outside the window.
When will he call
Lin Qile was not interested in the basketball training. She was wearing a tight vest and a short skirt, walking with her teammates to the auditorium. When passing by so many people, Lin Qile knew clearly that no one here was someone she cared about, and she was too lazy to even raise her head.
On the way home from school, Qin Yeyun and Yu Qiao started arguing again in front.
Qin Yeyun said that Yu Jin was still young and ignorant, and he randomly set someone else's birthday as his password. Yu Jin himself didn't even know what it meant.
Cai Fangyuan said: "How could he not know? Didn't he learn it from Yu Qiao?"
Qin Yeyun's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she asked Yu Qiao: "Is your password my birthday?"
Yu Qiao lowered his head to look at the newspaper, then raised his head and said, "I will change the password to your birthday now, can you forgive me?"
Qin Yeyun thought about it and said, "Okay!"
Yu Qiao said, "Then you should continue making trouble."
Qin Yeyun was so angry that she cried again. As soon as the train arrived at the station, she got off. Lin Qile got off the train and heard Cai Fangyuan laughing after getting off the train, laughing at the embarrassment Qin Yeyun made in front of Yu Qiao. The more Lin Qile listened, the more uncomfortable he felt.
"What's so funny!" she cried.
Cai Fangyuan was stunned and the smile on his face disappeared immediately.
The clock ticked very slowly. Lin Qile sat at her desk doing her homework. Her cell phone kept vibrating. It was a text message from Duchamp.
Du Shang: "Cherry, we are just joking with Qin Yeyun. Doesn't she like Yu Qiao? Everyone knows it."
Du Shang: "We are not making fun of her. We have no ill intentions, really. Qin Yeyun is having dinner at Yu Qiao's house right now. If you don't believe me, answer the phone and listen. She and Yu Qiao are chatting there. Don't be angry."
Duchamp: "Cherry, sometimes, a smile is just a smile. If you think deeply about it, it will be deep. If you forget about it, it will be just a puff of air and means nothing. You said you often laugh at us. Who hasn't made a fool of themselves? After making a fool of themselves, we still sit together and eat and chat as usual. You have seen my foolishness, and I have seen yours. Then our relationship will be stronger. We will definitely find it very funny when we talk about it in the future!"
Du Shang: "How about this, we don't make trouble for Qin Yeyun anymore, okay? But I think if we don't make trouble, Qin Yeyun may not be happy about it. Why don't you ask her? Actually, Qin Yeyun is fine. Really, she is very happy now and is even joking with Yu Jin."
Lin Yingtao finished her homework, took a shower, sat on the bed and talked to Du Shang on the phone. Du Shang said, "Don't you notice that every time we make fun of her and Yu Qiao, she is very happy."
Lin Yingtao was silent for a while, then lowered her head and said, "I don't understand..."
Duchamp said: "You are a girl, don't you understand?"
Lin Yingtao was silent for a while.
"I hate it most when people talk about me," she muttered.
Duchamp laughed: "I didn't say anything about you. Look who among us said anything about you."
"Dushamp," Lin Yingtao said, "I think you can be a good doctor, too."
Du Shang was stunned: "Huh??"
The call lasted for a long time. In the middle, Qin Yeyun came over and grabbed the phone to chat with Lin Yingtao for a few words. Qin Yeyun asked, "Lin Yingtao, do you still remember when you were in kindergarten, you said you would marry Yu Qiao when you grow up!"
From behind came the laughter and whistles of the boys, as well as the clapping and laughter of Squad Leader Yu.
Lin Yingtao was puzzled. She suddenly wanted to laugh and shouted, "How could that be? How come I didn't know that?"
Qin Yeyun also laughed: "I also think you forgot... Now you only think about Jiang Qiaoxi!"
When Lin Yingtao heard the name from her mouth for the first time, she didn't feel sad at all.
Qin Yeyun was holding the phone in her hand. She was standing beside the dining table of Yu Qiao's house, surrounded by so many people, and was stunned.
"You...why are you crying?" she asked Lin Yingtao.
Jiang Qiaoxi called Lin Yingtao several times, but it wasn't that no one answered, it was that the line was always busy.
After the lights were turned off in the dormitory of the Foreign Language High School, all that could be heard was the occasional sleep talk of the roommate outside. Jiang Qiaoxi sat alone in the darkness, with only a little light leaking through the sparks between his fingers.
If no one answered the phone, at least he would know that Lin Yingtao was still angry, or that Lin Yingtao was asleep and still didn't want to answer the phone.
But since the line was on for such a long time, she must be chatting with someone else - friends, classmates, or family members.
For Lin Yingtao, "Jiang Qiaoxi" is not the only person.
At ten forty, Jiang Qiaoxi was stunned for a moment before he realized that the call was connected.
He asked, "Hello?"
"I was just talking on the phone with Du Shang and the others, so I didn't notice you calling." Lin Yingtao explained on the other end.
Jiang Qiaoxi was silent for a moment.
"Jiang Qiaoxi," Lin Yingtao said, "I just suddenly figured it out."
Jiang Qiaoxi was stunned: "What did you figure out?"
Lin Yingtao said: "When we grow up, the things that happened in the past will become a joke and not that important anymore."
Jiang Qiaoxi felt a pain in his heart.
"What old jokes?" he asked.
