Wen Yufeng didn't speak loudly, but it was enough for the students in the next few rows to hear clearly.
Surprise is unavoidable, but more importantly, it is the glances that resonate with each other as everyone interacts with each other; even the two people at the same table at several desks simply came together to whisper.
Qin Qing was unaware of all this.
The voice that seemed to be lingering in her ears was still tinged with the magnetic hoarseness of someone who had just woken up. It was inexplicably teasing when she listened carefully. Qin Qing was silent for a few seconds before taking back the half step she had been scared away from before.
She straightened her face and looked at Wen Yufeng seriously: "But, classmate Wen, you didn't hand in the paper."
“…”
On the handsome face reflected in the glass window, his sharp eyebrows were slightly raised, and his dark eyes were slightly narrowed.
The boy turned back slowly.
"What did you call me?"
Qin Qing hesitated for a second and repeated what she had said before.
"Classmate Wen, you didn't turn in your paper."
However, Wen Yufeng was not at all distracted from the topic by the point she wanted to emphasize. Instead, a dangerous light shone in her dark eyes.
"'Classmate Wen'?"
“…”
Qin Qing did not answer this time, but frowned.
She felt that this person was too picky—
"Senior" is not allowed, nor is "classmate". Does it have to be called like others
But she really couldn't shout.
Qin Qing's slender eyebrows furrowed even more tightly, and in the end she had to pretend not to hear Wen Yufeng's rhetorical question, and looked down at the roster.
"The only paper left is you."
“…”
Knowing that the occasion and timing were wrong, Wen Yufeng did not continue to delve into the issue of this title.
He suppressed the slightly sharp emotion in his eyebrows and expressions, lifted his thin lips, and softened his expression with a half-smile.
"I don't do my homework."
Qin Qing frowned and looked at the boy with disapproval.
"It's not good to not do your homework."
Regarding this somewhat familiar statement, Wen Yufeng couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips.
He raised his eyes, and there was a smile in his dark eyes:
"Why is it bad?... I won't be able to find a good job in the future, and no girl will be willing to marry me?"
“…”
Qin Qing's cheeks turned red as she recalled the conversation in the first-grade math group last semester.
Knowing that she couldn't get it from this man, Qin Qing hugged the stack of papers in her hand tightly, glanced at Wen Yufeng with some anger, then turned around and ran away.
It wasn't until he saw the girl's petite figure disappearing from the classroom door that Wen Yufeng lowered his eyebrows and chuckled.
After two seconds, he suddenly raised his eyes and scanned most of the classroom with a sharp gaze.
Even though there was still a bit of thin smile left in the black eyes before it all faded away, the eyes that had gradually cooled still startled the students who were secretly observing here, and then they all turned back and lowered their heads.
No matter how strange Wen Yufeng was to them, who was joking and getting close to his new classmates, they couldn't change the sense of distance that this person could create with just one look.
And the only exception that seemed strange to them all was this new classmate.
… …
When there were still five minutes left before the end of the evening self-study in the second period, Qin Qing had already packed her backpack and stared at the clock hanging in the front with a serious expression.
At this time, the second hand always moves extremely slowly.
If someone didn't pay attention, she would wonder if the second hand had secretly moved back a little without her knowledge.
After doubting the clock's quality several times, Qin Qing finally waited until the last minute of evening self-study in the second quarter...
Thirty seconds... fifteen seconds...
Just when Qin Qing was about to count down to ten in her mind, there was a sound of very light footsteps in the quiet classroom.
Before Qin Qing could curiously turn her gaze to confirm the situation, a shadow had been pulled down by the classroom lights and cast on her body.
The tall boy stood beside her table with his trouser pockets inserted, a lazy smile on his handsome face.
"You've almost penetrated the wall clock, little classmate."
After speaking, Wen Yufeng continued to walk out of the classroom.
Qin Qing was left sitting alone, her cheeks gradually turning red, and a burst of suppressed laughter came from the students who reacted.
Qin Qing was almost embarrassed by all the glares on her back. Fortunately, after the boy disappeared outside the door, the bell rang for the end of get out of class.
Qin Qing stood up without hesitation and trotted out despite the good-natured laughter from most of the classroom.
There are very few students in the corridor at the moment, most of them have to stay in school for three periods of evening self-study; even if they only attend two periods, they are usually leisurely and contented, and few are as eager to return home as Qin Qing.
Qin Qing didn't care about that much, she just wanted to get home as soon as possible and then tuck into her soft quilt.
But she had just come downstairs and walked out to the porch before she took the first step; diagonally behind her body, a low laugh came from the corner next to the porch -
"Tiantian."
Qin Qing was unexpectedly frightened and said "Ah" and took half a step to the side.
When she turned back and took a closer look, the person standing there leaning against the wall with his trouser pockets in his eyes looking at her with a half-smile was naturally none other than Wen Yufeng, who had just left before her.
Only this person would call her by her nickname in a public place like school.
Qin Qing only had time to be thankful that she was not in the classroom at this time, and there were no students passing by, so no third person heard her shameful nickname.
After the idea was settled, Qin Qing turned around and walked quickly towards the school gate without thinking about it.
Although he didn't get an answer, Wen Yufeng still saw clearly the blush on Qin Qing's cheeks through the faint yellow light of the street lamp.
He raised his lips and smiled in a good mood, straightened up and left the wall against which he was leaning, and followed him leisurely with his long legs.
The road of a few hundred meters away from the school gate, which was neither short nor long, made Qin Qing fully aware of the problem of disparity in traveling speed caused by the difference in leg length.
At least she felt that she was about to reach her highest level in the first lap of the 800-meter run, and the man was still following her leisurely.
—It even seemed like he was taking a walk, without even taking his hands out of his trouser pockets.
Qin Qing moved her eyes away from the shadow that was pulled in front of her by the street light, pursed her lips slightly and tightened the strap of her backpack.
The angry pace was finally hampered by physical strength and had to slow down.
Wen Yufeng, who was hanging most of the campus forest road from behind, slightly raised his thin lips. As he observed along the way, he could naturally see that the girl had given up on the idea of distancing herself from him.
Wen Yufeng simply increased his pace a little, shortening the distance between the two of them to nothing.
He walked to the girl's side and slowed down.
After walking side by side for several meters, Wen Yufeng didn't say a word, and just walked beside Qin Qing so quietly with a smile on his face and a lazy attitude.
Qin Qing, who had been holding her breath since the person came to her side, blushed slightly and finally turned around and spoke.
"...Don't follow me."
The girl's voice is soft and gentle, even if she is slightly annoyed, it still makes people feel cute.
If she hadn't opened her mouth to push him away, Wen Yufeng felt that he would probably agree to whatever she said.
… This is a little scary.
Wen Yufeng lowered his eyes with complicated emotions. Looking at the little girl standing next to him, the usual sharpness between his eyebrows softened unconsciously.
"Isn't it your first time to go home after evening self-study? Since you're on your way, I'll take you back."
“…”
The girl hesitated for a few seconds, as if she wanted to say something, but when the words came to her lips, she changed her words -
"Senior, why?"
Qin Qing opened her eyes wide and asked the boy walking beside her with curiosity and inquiry.
She really couldn't understand why it seemed that from the beginning, this man's behavior in front of her was different from the bully of No. 1 Middle School that Manxue said.
If those superficial encounters before were not enough to arouse her curiosity to explore the reasons, then from the time she transferred to this class, the two people would inevitably intersect - she could no longer let this inevitable Questions that could not be answered were always before her.
The girl asked this question without any beginning or end, but after Wen Yufeng lowered his eyes and looked at Qin Qing for two seconds, he somehow miraculously understood what she wanted to express.
Wen Yufeng was silent for a few seconds, then chuckled and turned his face away.
"I have no idea."
He has always been magnanimous, no matter how he treats others or himself.
So if he says he doesn't know, he really doesn't know.
“…”
But Qin Qing could not see or understand this point in Wen Yufeng's character at this time, so after the boy's chuckle and his perfunctory-sounding answer, a different annoyance came to her mind. .
Qin Qing lowered her eyes.
After a few seconds, she spoke softly.
"Senior, today's dessert is delicious, thank you. Thank you for all the things you have helped me with before. ... But even if it is the repayment of gratitude you mentioned, I think we should have settled things long ago."
"..." Wen Yufeng narrowed his eyes and felt that the girl was feeling a little unhappy at the moment. Just as he was about to speak, his words were cut off.
"Thank you, senior, for your concern about me going home, but my mother has already informed my cousin that he will pick me up from school in the future."
Qin Qing held her breath and said these words, and when she raised her face to look at Wen Yufeng, her cheeks were still slightly red, but her black and white eyes were already clear and clear.
"So, senior, we don't have to 'repay the favor' in the future; here, it's just fine."
After finishing speaking, Qin Qing didn't give Wen Yufeng a chance to say more, so she quickly added the last sentence.
"I'm leaving first. Goodbye, senior."
After saying that, the girl, like a butterfly in flight, walked out of the school gate which was already close at hand without looking back, and ran towards the boy waiting under the pine tree.
The man smiled and took the girl's backpack, then pulled the girl to the parking area nearby.
Wen Yufeng stood in the gate one step away from the outside of the school. He squinted his eyes slightly and watched the car out of sight for a moment.
Until even the shadow of the rear of the car was no longer visible.
Wen Yufeng stood there and lowered his eyes.
In the covered dark eyes, cold and dangerous emotions swirled within them.
—
The feeling of watching your girl being taken away by others but not being able to reach out and snatch it back...
It's true...it's very irritating.
After a while, Wen Yufeng slowly raised his eyes, looking in a certain direction where the shadow had long disappeared, and the line of his thin lips slowly lifted.
But there was no hint of smile in his eyes.
At the other end, in the car that had already driven out, Qin Hao in the driver's seat turned his eyes slightly and looked at the girl in the rearview mirror.
The delicate and beautiful little face was slightly tensed, showing no emotion.
But Qin Hao, who grew up with Qin Qing, knew that his cousin with this appearance must be depressed about something.
"Xiaoqing."
Qin Hao turned the steering wheel and asked, "Are you still unhappy about the evening self-study?"
Qin Qing came to her senses at Qin Hao's words, and then she shook her head.
"no."
"What's that for?"
"..." Qin Qing looked at the figures of students returning home from class passing by the window. She was silent for a few seconds before asking in a low voice, "Second brother, do you also mess with little girls casually in school?"
This question made Qin Hao feel guilty for a moment.
After a while he cleared his throat:
"Ahem, what's that... It's human nature. Beautiful things always make people want to get close. What's more, your second brother and I are still single and have every right to yearn for love... "
Qin Hao was thinking hard about how to formulate this excuse, but an idea flashed through his mind.
The originally awkward expression suddenly changed: "A boy in your new class flirted with you??"
Qin Qing turned back and repeated the word doubtfully: "Flirting?"
Qin Hao explained with an even more anxious expression: "I'm just being nice to you for no reason, and I'm always making fun of you."
“…”
Qin Qing was silent for a while, then turned her face away and looked out the car window.
"No."
Qin Hao was relieved, but obviously still a little worried.
"Xiao Qing, those sweet talkers are all bad boys. You must not be deceived by their few words or small favors. This kind of people have many tricks, and I don't know how many little girls they have teased with those methods. It’s over.”
Qin Qing was silent for a longer time this time, and then she nodded slowly.
"Well, I understand."
… …
When she arrived at school the next day, Qin Qing was somewhat uneasy.
After all, the night before, she had just rejected all that person's kindness with such a decisive attitude. Although Qin Hao's words later calmed down her somewhat guilty mood, Qin Qing felt particularly absent-minded when she thought that she might have some interaction with that person again today.
But when she got to the classroom, she realized that the man didn't appear in the classroom at all.
It wasn't until the third period in the morning that the boys lazily walked in from the front door of the classroom.
The person who walked in didn't even have a school bag, but was neatly dressed in a school uniform with a slightly loose tie. His small suit jacket was unbuttoned, revealing the man's slim waist; the tail of his shirt hung flatly outside his pants, but it still remained the same. Look at the long and straight legs.
When he walked through the classroom without saying a word, the students along the way consciously restrained their noisy movements and sounds. After he passed by, they slightly returned to their original state.
But this time, to everyone's surprise, the girl sitting in the first row didn't get a second longer from him.
—
When he walked past Qin Qing, Wen Yufeng didn't even raise his eyes, as if he didn't know the person sitting there at all.
Qin Qing could not help but feel a little regretful. After all, this person was the first student of the opposite sex she knew who could be called a "friend". But apart from the regret, the girl still felt more relieved.
Unfortunately, Qin Qing could not relax for long.
Before the last class in the morning, the Chinese class representative walked into the classroom with the teacher's teaching materials.
The class representative put the books on the table on the podium and reminded the students below.
"The teacher will randomly check the text recitation in the next class, so everyone should prepare as soon as possible."
Upon hearing this, the class that was still noisy suddenly became panicked. They all went back to their seats to look for Chinese books and started cramming.
Qin Qing was still a little confused when he saw that his deskmate Fang Xiaojing also quickly ended the conversation with the person behind him, turned around, took out his Chinese book, and turned the pages of the book with a clatter.
As if aware of Qin Qing's gaze, Fang Xiaojing took a break from flipping through the book and turned back and said:
"The new Chinese teacher this semester is very strict. Those who fail the random recitation test will have to go to the office and be humiliated. Please borrow this Chinese textbook quickly, I can't take care of you."
Qin Qing paused and nodded.
When Fang Xiaojing turned around, Qin Qing wrinkled her face a little sadly.
... This is a bit embarrassing. She just said that to that person yesterday. She shouldn't borrow books from others today.
But she really didn’t know anyone in her second year of high school...
Meanwhile, in the back row of the classroom.
When he was almost outside the back door of the classroom, Li Xiang realized that there was no one behind him. He was stunned for a moment and looked away, and sure enough, he saw Wen Yufeng staying in the corridor.
The boy's Qingjun frowned slightly, as if he was hesitating for something.
Li Xiang turned around and walked back curiously, "Brother Yu, why aren't you leaving yet?"
Before he even raised his voice, Wen Yufeng, who was standing there, turned around, picked up a Chinese textbook from the brand new row of textbooks on the shelf behind him, and then walked to the front row.
As soon as he saw the direction Ming Wen Yufeng was walking in, Li Xiang immediately became interested in gossip and followed him quietly.
Taking advantage of his long legs, Wen Yufeng reached the aisle next to the first row in a few steps. He stopped and turned sideways.
As soon as the boy stopped, the reciting voices around him suddenly became much lower in volume.
On the seat, she once again felt the shadow coming. Qin Qing raised her face hesitantly and looked at the other party.
…It’s so high.
Her little neck felt a little sore, and the girl couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
Wen Yufeng naturally didn't know what the girl was thinking at this time.
Seeing Qin Qing raise her face, he shook the book in his hand calmly.
"Want to use textbooks?"
It looked like he was using dried fish to coax his disobedient little cat.
"Little Milk Cat" nodded a little guiltily.
… This man is so nice that he doesn’t even care about what he said yesterday.
Before Qin Qing could finish thinking this, she heard the boy's low, magnetic voice tinged with a thin smile -
"But you said yesterday that we have settled the matter. - So, I can give you the textbook, but in exchange, you have to promise to do something for me."
“…”
Qin Qing was silent, but after thinking about many things that had happened since they met, she felt that Wen Yufeng would not make any excessive demands.
And she did feel a little sorry for him, so it would be great if she could do something to help him.
Thinking of this, Qin Qing nodded obediently.
Seeing the scene, the boy raised his thin lips slightly.
Then he raised his eyes—
"Call me."
Qin Qing: "...???"
Wen Yufeng narrowed his eyes slightly and repeated it patiently.
"Calling your name, don't miss any of the three words."
He stared at the girl for a moment and said, "I'll give you the book if you call me."
Qin Qing: "..."
The sound of reciting in this area finally fell completely silent after this sentence—
Fell into a deathly silence.
