Diamond Candy

Chapter 5: Eat the fifth candy

Views:

In a blink of an eye, it has been a week since Tang You came to No. 5 Middle School.

Many people in the school were discussing her secretly. Everyone knew that she was transferred from a certain aristocratic school in Haicheng. Some people secretly claimed to be insiders and spread half-true and half-false rumors.

for example-

"Tang You and I went to the same kindergarten since we were young. Her mother is very fierce. Don't mess with her."

"I heard that she has a boyfriend in Haicheng who dotes on her very much."

"Then she's not a virgin, is she?"

"Is it not your turn? What are you thinking about?"

It's not that Tang You didn't hear the rumors, but from childhood to adulthood, from C City to Haicheng, she had heard too many of them and had long been accustomed to ignoring them.

However, her unparalleled popularity at the time made Cheng Xuan, the former school belle of No. 5 Middle School, seem to be overshadowed.

In the past, all the boys in the school admired Cheng Xuan, but now they have suddenly "changed their hearts" and turned their attention to another girl.

Cheng Xuan couldn't help but become curious about how beautiful and special this beauty who was praised as the most beautiful in the world was, to the point that people around her were discussing her after class and after meals.

So after class that day, Cheng Xuan decided to go to the international class to meet Tang You.

The international class and the regular class of No. 5 Middle School are in two different buildings. Cheng Xuan and her little sister just walked downstairs to the international class building and saw a short-haired girl surrounded by several people at the end of the classroom on the first floor.

It seems like there is some trouble.

The reason why Cheng Xuan could become the school beauty of No. 5 Middle School, besides being beautiful, the most important point is that she has a chivalrous heart.

Previously, a girl was molested by gangsters at the school gate. Cheng Xuan walked up to them fearlessly and scolded them. He even slapped them violently, causing the gangsters to cover their faces and run away in confusion.

Since then, Cheng Xuan has successfully established herself as the top student in No. 5 Middle School.

So although girls are jealous of her beauty, most of the time, when they see her, they will still respectfully call her "Hyun Sister".

Cheng Xuan would never sit idly by when it comes to behavior that is clearly school violence.

She walked closer and recognized that the person who was besieging others was Li Shiyu, a famous and unruly rich third-generation student in International Class A.

This girl's family is rich and she is arrogant. She has always mocked students in ordinary classes as being poor and even looks down on some of her own classmates.

She folded her arms across her chest and asked the short-haired girl who was surrounded coldly:

"Don't you know that the monitor of Class B is the person I like?"

The short-haired girl replied quietly and calmly, "I don't know."

Her calmness angered Li Shiyu: "Then listen carefully now, he is mine, you are not allowed to accept his love letters!"

After saying this, he leaned forward and whispered a threat.

Although her voice was low, Cheng Xuan still heard her say: "If you dare to accept me, I will make you suffer."

But the short-haired girl followed up with a calm and composed tone: "Why don't you ask him not to send you off?"

"you-"

Hey, sisters are pretty stubborn.

Cheng Xuan saw this and laughed.

This sentence seemed to be a light one, but it hit Li Shiyu's sore spot.

Everyone in the school knows that she is pursuing the class monitor of the neighboring class B, but the class monitor has no interest in her at all and it is just unrequited love.

The arrogant daughter had never suffered such a mockery before, and she immediately raised her hands in embarrassment and wanted to hit someone.

Just before her hand fell, Cheng Xuan finally spoke.

"Li Shiyu."

She just shouted like that, and Li Shiyu's outstretched hand immediately stopped.

Seeing that the person who called her was Cheng Xuan, Li Shiyu's momentum weakened a little, but her tone was still a little aggressive: "What!"

Cheng Xuan's little sister then whispered to her: "The one with short hair is Tang You."

What a coincidence

Cheng Xuan couldn't help but tilt his head and take a few more glances.

The girl was petite, and wore a school uniform neatly, like a little mushroom. At first glance, she looked like a good girl from a wealthy family.

But vaguely, she seemed a little different from that good girl.

There was a tenacity between her brows, which was particularly strong when she treated Li Shiyu just now.

Cheng Xuan raised his eyebrows, retracted his gaze, and then replied to Li Shiyu: "I am the one asking you what you want to do, right? Do you want to bully the new students again?"

Li Shiyu's face turned pale.

They all knew that Cheng Xuan had a wild personality, loved to be on friendly terms with boys, and even dared to slap a gangster in the street. He was extremely courageous.

So even though he looked down on her, he still didn't dare to provoke her.

Since Cheng Xuan intervened, the matter had to be dropped.

Li Shiyu left reluctantly, and Tang You secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked towards Cheng Xuan.

The girl who helped her out was very pretty, with sharp eyes and a tall figure. She looked particularly cool in her denim jacket with ripped holes and fringed edges.

She is the type of girl that Tang You likes deep down, straightforward and free-spirited.

She thanked him sincerely: "Classmate, thank you for what you did just now."

Tang You's voice was very soft, like cotton or a kitten's paw. Even though Cheng Xuan was a woman, her heart was tickled and softened.

Not to mention those passionate teenagers in adolescence, who would probably have a physiological reaction just by listening to this sound.

At this point, Cheng Xuan finally understood why this girl was so charming.

"Thank me?" She chewed her gum slowly. "What's the point of just saying it?"

Tang You's eyelashes moved, and she was stunned for a moment, but she still asked politely: "Then how do you want me to thank you?"

Cheng Xuan thought about it and deliberately made things difficult for her: "I heard that you studied music? Then sing a song for us?"

Originally I thought he was going to treat me to a meal, but it turned out to be the first time Tang You heard someone want to listen to music in return.

It turns out that the students in No. 5 Middle School have unique and different ideas.

Tang You was very grateful for Cheng Xuan's help just now. Singing was not a big deal for her, but what to sing

She didn't speak for a long time, and Cheng Xuan smiled in his heart.

In fact, Cheng Xuan just wanted to see whether she was really cute or a scheming little green tea.

Those who attend international classes all have their eyes on their foreheads. Cheng Xuan doesn't believe Tang You can sing.

Just as she was about to leave in disappointment, the girl in front of her suddenly cleared her throat and said, "Then I'll sing."

Cheng Xuan: “?”

The next second—

"A heart of gratitude, thank you for being with me all my life..."

Cheng Xuan was chewing gum when it got stuck between his teeth and he could not chew it anymore.

After listening for more than ten seconds, he finally raised his hand and said, "Stop!"

Are the sisters trying to hold a singing party to praise themselves with such sincere expressions

Cheng Xuan was angry and laughed, "Okay."

Tang You hasn’t finished singing yet: “Ah?”

"Tang You, right?"

Cheng Xuan walked over and put a hand on her shoulder very skillfully: "From now on, you will be under my protection. If anyone bullies you, tell them my name, Cheng Xuan."

"Oh, Cheng Xuan." Tang You read silently.

Cheng Xuan suddenly came over and said, "What do you think, isn't this name cool?"

"..." Tang You was stunned for a moment, then nodded and smiled at her:

"Yeah, Hyun."

She smiles very beautifully, with two small dimples at the corners of her mouth, gentle and well-behaved, like a warm spring breeze, and her slight smile can melt other people's hearts.

At that moment, Cheng Xuan felt from the bottom of his heart that if he were a man, he would not be able to last more than three seconds facing this smiling girl.

This is probably the legendary feeling of knowing each other at first sight. I went to meet Tang You with a bit of hostility at first, but I didn't expect that after seeing the real person, I was immediately attracted to him.

What Cheng Xuan didn't know was that her cheerful and free-spirited character was exactly what Tang You had always dreamed of.

Cheng Xuan just accepted a new little sister and readily invited everyone to have dinner at a new restaurant that opened at the back door of the school.

Just as the group of people walked to the back door, Cheng Xuan's phone rang. She picked it up and listened to a few words. She seemed to see someone, waved her hand twice, turned around and said, "Wait for me, I'm going to get something."

Tang You nodded and followed Cheng Xuan as she left, watching her cross the road and stop in front of a motorcycle.

That lazy figure sitting in the car...

Tang You's heart skipped a beat.

Is it him

Zhou Qinyao handed a bag to Cheng Xuan and then turned and left, his whole body exuding a coldness that made it difficult to approach him.

Cheng Xuan then ran back to Tang You and said, "Let's go."

Tang You was so busy looking at Zhou Qinyao that he didn't notice her coming over, and hurriedly withdrew his gaze: "Oh, okay."

A group of people arrived at the restaurant. While waiting for the food to be served and chatting, a young lady couldn't help but ask Cheng Xuan curiously:

"Sister Hyun, who was that handsome guy just now?"

Tang You's heart moved, and she couldn't help but look up, and saw Cheng Xuan lighting a lady's thin cigarette, blowing out a puff of smoke, and smiling with her almond eyes: "My boyfriend, are you jealous?"

A bunch of young sisters expressed regret: "… I am crying with envy."

Tang You was silent and breathed out softly.

It turns out they are a couple.

It’s a small world.

Something in my heart suddenly twisted and stuffy, a weird feeling.

But Tang You wanted to—

They are indeed a good match. At first glance, you can tell that they are both free and easy-going people.

Not like myself, boring and dull.

Cheng Xuan and the others started talking about other topics. In the bustling restaurant, no one heard Tang You's quiet sigh.

After dinner, Li Shiyu returned to the classroom. She was much calmer. So the whole afternoon class went by without any problems.

After school at 6:30, Tang You met Cheng Xuan again at the back door. She called out to Tang You: "You You, do you want to go together?"

After saying that, Cheng Xuan noticed the nanny car parked next to Tang You.

Fang Lai arranged a driver for Tang You, who would follow her wherever she went, and the driver would pick her up and drop her off at school every day.

Cheng Xuan used his student card to take the bus.

There was a wall between them.

After a moment of embarrassment, Cheng Xuan shrugged and said, "Just pretend I didn't say anything. I'm leaving first."

"… "

Tang You hurriedly grabbed her sleeve: "Wait a minute."

For the first time, she got the friendship she wanted, which was not imposed on her by Fang Lai. She cherished it very much and did not want to lose it because of this material distance.

Tang You turned to the driver anxiously and said, "Uncle Yang, I'm going home with my friends today, you go first."

"Okay miss." The driver took out his cell phone in a businesslike manner: "I'll ask the madam, and I'll leave if she agrees."

"… "

This Uncle Yang is new here, and Tang You is not familiar with him. He cannot discuss things with her like Aunt Rong can. If he calls Fang Lai, a lot of unnecessary trouble will arise.

"Forget it." Tang You interrupted him numbly, trying her best to control her emotions.

She could never be herself.

Trapped in a cage, all she could see was the tiny world that Fang Lai had planned for her.

Cheng Xuan also sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere.

Tang You turned around and said to her apologetically: "I'm sorry, Sister Hyun, then-"

"Then I'll go with you." Cheng Xuan interrupted her, walked up to the driver and saluted pretentiously: "Uncle, give me a ride on the way, do you want to ask about your wife?"

This counter-routine made Tang You stunned for a moment, and the dullness in his eyes brightened up again. Without waiting for the driver to speak, he happily decided: "Of course not."

She quickly pulled Cheng Xuan into the car and closed the door.

The driver thought for a moment. Anyway, his duty was only to pick up Tang You and he had no control over anything else.

So he went back to the car and reminded them, "The two ladies, please fasten your seat belts."

After getting in the car and asking for the address, Tang You was surprised to find that Cheng Xuan actually lived in Huaishu Hutong, and was the daughter of Aunt Xian who owned the small shop.

This wonderful fate also made Tang You more determined. Cheng Xuan was God's way of making up for the loss in her heart, and she must cherish him.

The two chatted all the way like old friends who had met after a long separation. Just as they arrived at the intersection of Huaishu Street, Cheng Xuan suddenly asked the driver to stop the car.

"Stop, stop, stop. I'm right here."

Tang You was puzzled: "Aren't you going back to the alley?"

Cheng Xuan unbuckled his seat belt and pointed out the window: "I have to go there first."

The window was half open, Tang You looked in the direction she pointed -

At the entrance of AS Club, several men gathered around a luxury car, and Zhou Qinyao leaned against the rear of the car with an indifferent expression.

Tang You understood and quickly helped Cheng Xuan open the door: "Are you going to see your boyfriend?"

Cheng Xuan was stunned, then got out of the car with a smile: "You really believed me when I was teasing you, then he is my buddy."

“…” Buddy

Tang You turned around and looked at Zhou Qinyao in a daze.

At the rear of the car, a tall man with a cold and lazy posture was lighting a cigarette with his head tilted.

At the moment of lighting, he seemed to sense something, raised his eyes slightly and looked across the street.

The two looked into each other's eyes, and Tang You's childish peeping was caught completely.

She quickly retracted her body, her heart speeding up slightly—"Uncle Yang, drive quickly."

In just a moment, the white nanny car turned into Huaishu Street.

At the door, everyone was discussing a car modification plan. Cheng Xuan walked over to Zhou Qinyao and patted him on the shoulder generously:

"Brother Yao, can I treat you to dinner tonight? If you hadn't helped my mom deliver the dance clothes at noon, I would have been scolded to death during the afternoon rehearsal."

"No need." Zhou Qinyao was playing with his lighter nonchalantly. After a few seconds, he withdrew his gaze from a certain angle and asked calmly, "Whose car did you take back?"

"Huh? Did you see it?" Cheng Xuan said with a bit of boasting: "This girl who just transferred to our school, isn't she pretty?"

Zhou Qinyao smoked a cigarette, the corners of his mouth twitched, and it was unclear what expression he had.

But in Cheng Xuan's opinion, he really deserves a beating.

She has always known that this man has high standards, but he is too picky to look down on someone like Tang You.

"She's a real white, rich and beautiful girl who studies cello and lives across from us." Cheng Xuan snorted and peeled off a piece of chewing gum: "I heard she has a boyfriend in the entertainment industry. You can't even get to like her if you want."

The dusk fell, a cool breeze rustled past my ears, and the air became moist, as if foreshadowing the arrival of the first rain of early autumn.

After a long while, Zhou Qinyao turned his face away as if nothing had happened and replied calmly:

"Oh, really."
