Hope is fragile
Tang Jianrui turned his head blankly: "What candy?"
Zhu Ran, who was sitting next to Chen Luobai, replied, "Someone stuffed candy into his desk last Friday."
"What? Someone stuffed candy into his desk?" Tang Jianrui was obviously interested. "Shouldn't it be a girl who stuffed it into his desk? Why is Luo Ge asking about me? Are you showing off to me?"
Zhu Ran's voice was not low when he said this.
Perhaps they all smelled the gossip. Not only Tang Jianrui, but Zhou Anran also saw that many people in the front row turned their heads and looked in their direction.
For a moment, Zhou Anran felt his heart beating even faster than last Friday afternoon, and it might jump out of his throat at any time.
Chen Luobai stretched out his foot and kicked the leg of Tang Jianrui's chair again, and scolded with a smile: "Show off."
"Then why are you asking about me?" Tang Jianrui asked with a hint of confusion in his gossip. "How could I possibly put candy on your table?"
Zhu Ran explained to him: "No, just two."
Tang Jianrui didn't understand: "What do you mean two?"
Zhu Ran pointed at Chen Luobai's desk and said, "Last Friday, someone stuffed two candies into his desk. They weren't packaged or in a gift box. They were just two ordinary candies, just randomly stuffed into his desk."
"Ah? Just two?" Tang Jianrui lost interest instantly. "That shouldn't be a gift from a girl. When those girls give gifts to my brother Luo, they all want to wrap them in a way that looks like a flower."
Zhu Ran: "That's why I'm asking if any of you just stuffed it into his mouth."
"It's not me." Tang Jianrui shook his head. "Maybe someone put it in the wrong place by accident."
It seemed that the others who were waiting to hear the gossip thought the same thing, and they all turned their curious heads back.
Zhou Anran saw that Yan Xingqian looked disappointed.
Chen Luobai had already retracted his legs. Zhou Anran hurriedly pulled Yan Xingqian and walked back to her seat with her head down. She even forgot to wipe the table and chairs. She just sat down on them. Her heartbeat was still extremely fast, even though it had not yet calmed down.
The news that someone stuffed two candies into Chen Luobai's desk quickly spread throughout the class, but it seemed that everyone agreed with Tang Jianrui's guess, even Sheng Xiaowen and Zhang Shuxian were no exception.
During the second class, it suddenly started raining outside, so they didn't go down to do exercises during the morning break.
Zhang Shuxian turned over and lay on Yan Xingqian's desk. Sheng Xiaowen came over and squeezed into Zhou Anran's chair to chat with them.
"Did you hear about someone stuffing candy into Chen Luobai's desk?" Zhang Shuxian lowered her voice slightly.
Yan Xingqian nodded: "When he asked Tang Jianrui this morning, I happened to hear him, but I don't think it was sent by a girl. Who would give him two candies for no reason? I guess someone accidentally gave the wrong one."
Zhou Anran: “…”
Sheng Xiaowen continued, "I agree if it wasn't given by a girl, but isn't it a bit absurd to put the candy in the wrong desk?"
"Not outrageous." Zhang Shuxian said, "You should have heard about the incident with the boy in Class 9 before, right?"
Yan Xingqian immediately became interested: "I've never heard of it, what's the matter?"
Sheng Xiaowen: “I haven’t heard of it either.”
"It happened at the beginning of last semester. There was a boy in Class 9 who went out to play basketball at noon instead of taking a nap. When he returned to the classroom for the afternoon class, he went up one floor. It happened that the student who sat in his seat in the classroom upstairs had asked for leave that day, so he sat in the other seat and fell asleep."
