1. The old days of the town
"We have several new students in our class today. Although they are from ordinary classes, they have a positive attitude towards study and good grades. If they work hard, they still have a chance to be admitted to No. 1 Middle School."
"The pressure of studying is high nowadays. To save everyone's time, I won't introduce you one by one. Everyone should get along well with each other in the future, encourage each other to study, and bring honor to the class. Do you hear me?"
“I heard it!”
After a brief explanation from the head teacher, students from other classes moved their desks into the classroom one after another.
There is no self-introduction session.
That's great.
Guo Yun breathed a sigh of relief.
Guo Yun moved the table next to a short-haired girl who looked quite quiet. When she moved the table, the short-haired girl put the water cup on the edge to the inside.
Guo Yun moved the table, trying to align it with the short-haired girl's table, but accidentally let the book slide along the table and fall to the ground, landing in the gap between the tables, at the feet of the short-haired girl.
"… "
Seeing that the short-haired girl had no intention of helping to pick up the books, Guo Yun did not mind, but squatted down and tried to reach her own textbooks.
However, because the seats were too narrow, Guo Yun's fat body couldn't squat down completely. She was seen hanging her neck and struggling to fit in the middle. The girl next to her couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst out laughing.
Guo Yun returned to her seat with a red face. When she was about to move the chair to pick up the book, the boy sitting in the front row looked back, picked up the book and put it on Guo Yun's desk.
"Thank you..."
Guo Yun thanked the boy repeatedly, but the boy simply said "No thanks" and then got up and went out of the classroom.
Guo Yun moved her desk inward and looked up at the other person's desk. She saw the words "Mei Fang" written in big letters on the open textbook on the desk.
This is a boy's name.
It was also the first name Guo Yun remembered in her new class.
The already cramped classroom became even more crowded with the arrival of new students. In addition, the summer in the small town is always unusually hot. The classroom, which was cooled by only four fans, was filled with the smell of sweat.
"Make way."
The short-haired girl next to Guo Yun was about to get up and go to the bathroom again.
"Hey...didn't you take a shower again last night?"
"I... I wash it every day."
"Really?" The short-haired girl pinched her nose and said, "But why do you stink so badly?"
"I... I don't know..."
Guo Yun was timid and did not dare to refute, for fear of upsetting her deskmate.
The girl sitting next to me is very popular in the class and has excellent grades. She is a class committee member that our homeroom teacher, Mr. Huang, trusts very much.
"Forget it, forget it...just let it go first."
Being excluded and despised is something Guo Yun has been experiencing since elementary school, but none of this matters to her.
Because Fatty has her own awareness, all she has to do is spend every peaceful day at school.
The next day, Guo Yun brought a bottle of toilet water to school, but before she had the chance to use it, the head teacher made a seat adjustment.
"It's almost midterm exam time, so we won't make any major seat adjustments this time. Everyone should just sit in the order of their scores on the last midterm exam."
Guo Yun was grouped with a petite girl wearing glasses who was very popular among the boys.
Moreover, she is good friends with the girl with short hair.
So when she found herself sitting at the same table with Guo Yun, the girl with glasses seemed quite reluctant.
Guo Yun noticed that she and her deskmate exchanged silent glances, but she didn't say anything and continued to lower her head to do her homework.
When it was time to change seats, Guo Yun's deskmate rubbed the boy's shoulder in the front row and said in a pleading tone:
"Ah, Mei Fang, I want to ask you a favor. Can you switch seats with Jiaojiao? You are too tall, and I can't see anything if I sit behind you..."
"Okay, I'm fine with anything. It doesn't matter."
"Okay, you're the best! I'll let Jiaojiao buy you a drink then!"
"Ah... That's not necessary..."
"Oh, how can I do that? I must thank you."
So, the person who was supposed to sit next to Guo Yun changed from Jiaojiao to Mei Fang.
The boy who hasn't spoken to her since he helped her pick up the book at the beginning of the school year.
However, because she was sitting in the back row, Guo Yun would always stare at the back of Mei Fang's head in a daze from time to time during and after class every day.
Although he may not be familiar with her, she knows a lot of things he has done.
He is a very cheerful and easy-going boy with excellent grades. He likes playing games and getting along well with boys.
The girls also got along well with him because he was always willing to help others, such as bringing meals, helping people move things, and helping classmates answer questions.
He is an absolutely good person.
ah…
We've never spoken to each other, but I know so much about him.
Wouldn't that make people feel disgusted
Guo Yun didn't dare to think too much.
She tried hard not to be hated.
Especially such a kind person who is so friendly to others.
So after moving the seats, Guo Yun would spray some floral water on herself from time to time.
Sizzle.
Sizzle.
Sizzle.
Mei Fang was very surprised. He put down his pen and asked Guo Yun curiously, "Are there many mosquitoes biting you?"
“Ah… Yeah, yeah.”
Guo Yun was a little at a loss when suddenly being spoken to by her new deskmate.
"Because I'm fat... Mosquitoes like fat people's blood."
Mei Fang smiled and said, "Let me tell you that mosquitoes like certain blood types. It's not because fat people are liked by mosquitoes."
“Is that so?”
"Besides, it's not that bad... You're not that fat."
"In fact, as long as it does not affect your health, you can live however you want, as long as you are happy."
Guo Yun lowered her head and listened to Mei Fang's words. Although she kept nodding in response, a ripple appeared in her heart.
The first time someone said this...
Ever since she can remember, this is how people around Guo Yun comment on her weight.
"You really should lose weight and eat less. Can't you control your mouth?"
A little more gentle would say:
"You're not that fat, but you'd look better if you were a little thinner."
Mei Fang's opinion seemed to have opened the door to a new world for Guo Yun.
Can you still consider it from the perspective of making yourself happy
Responding to expectations is a painful thing.
But having expectations always means there is a direction.
If there is no expectation, even how to live will become a problem...
I just live my life to be happy without giving it any thought.
After Mei Fang and Guo Yun became deskmates, they didn't have much to talk about.
Mei Fang will be interested in game-related topics.
Otherwise, it would be some hot-blooded and orthodox youth anime that Guo Yun doesn't really watch.
Guo Yun never interrupted his conversations with others.
However, sometimes when she was still not satisfied after listening to him, Guo Yun couldn't help but ask a few simple and idiotic questions.
Mei Fang did not refuse to satisfy Guo Yun's curiosity, and when he was in a good mood, he would talk nonstop.
Guo Yun likes her life now very much.
Although I don’t have many opportunities to chat with Mei Fang, he is indeed a very interesting boy.
Although I didn’t have as many friends in the new class as before, I wasn’t called a fat pig or had notes stuck on my back anymore.
The only thing that is a bit annoying is that when I am eating in the cafeteria, if I meet classmates from my former or current class, I would feel a little embarrassed if I was found eating alone.
So Guo Yun often waited a while after mealtime before going to the cafeteria to get food, or went directly to the canteen to buy bread to fill her stomach.
…
I forgot to bring my meal card.
I didn't have any money on me.
Just bear with it in the morning and at noon, and think of it as losing weight.
Today is Saturday, I can go home for dinner in the afternoon...
Guo Yun stayed up all the time on an empty stomach until noon, when everyone went to eat. Mei Fang stood up and saw Guo Yun still sitting in her seat. She was immediately surprised and said:
"Aren't you going to eat? Aren't you hungry?"
"No, not hungry..."
"I saw you didn't go downstairs to buy food this morning." Mei Fang thought for a moment, "Is it because you feel sick in your stomach?"
“No, not at all.”
"Let me go to the teacher's office and talk to him about this for you... I saw you almost fainted during class this morning."
“Don’t, don’t!”
Guo Yun grabbed the corner of Mei Fang's clothes, but then she retracted her hand in fear.
"I, I forgot to bring my meal card."
Guo Yun didn't want to attract attention, so seeing Mei Fang insisted, she had no choice but to tell the truth.
Mei Fang was greatly shocked by what Guo Yun said.
"No... You didn't bring your meal card, why didn't you borrow from me or other classmates?"
"Ah... That's too much trouble."
"trouble?"
"I, I mean..."
Guo Yun hurriedly explained, "It's not good to trouble others."
"What's the problem? Classmates should help each other."
I don’t have any friends with whom I can borrow my meal card.
It has been like this since childhood.
When Guo Yun was in elementary school, she asked her classmates to borrow a pair of scissors to do handicrafts, but was rejected.
[If you lend a pair of scissors to a fat woman, then you won’t be able to use them anymore]
After that, Guo Yun didn't dare to take a step easily.
"Then what do you want to eat? I'll bring it for you."
"No, no! That would be too much trouble for you..."
"What's the trouble? I'll just bring it with me. What do you want to eat?"
Guo Yun waved her hands frantically: "No, no... Really no! Just think of it as me losing weight! Recently, recently I have to diet..."
"You are...very annoying."
Mei Fang looked a little unhappy.
Being…disdained.
Guo Yun felt like crying in her heart, but outwardly she just lowered her head silently, showing an expression as if she had done something wrong, waiting for Mei Fang's scolding.
But Mei Fang didn't continue to talk to her. Instead, he sighed, asked her to give up her seat, and then left the classroom.
…
Guo Yun lay on the table, rubbing her chubby face weakly.
Isn't it better to say this...
If I had borrowed directly from Mei Fang, he might not have been so angry.
However, if I cause him trouble, I don’t know how to repay him.
I will give him chocolates tomorrow to thank him.
But, but, isn’t chocolate too much
No... I have already rejected Mei Fang's kindness.
It would be better to treat him to chocolate and apologize to him tomorrow.
Ah... He will definitely ignore me from now on.
I am indeed a very annoying person.
Even someone as nice as Mei Fang is starting to get impatient with me...
Just as Guo Yun was feeling sorry for herself in class, some of her classmates had finished their meals and returned to their seats.
Whether it is a boy or a girl, almost everyone has a partner.
Talking and laughing, enjoying the taste of youth.
But for a girl like Guo Yun who has been lonely and has no friends since childhood, having friends is almost unimaginable.
Even if she had to travel with someone, she could feel the other person's inner disdain for her.
cluck~
Guo Yun's stomach growled. She went to the water dispenser to get some water and took a big gulp.
For a girl like her who has a big appetite and especially likes sweets, enduring hunger is a very painful thing in itself.
But there is no way...
Who told me to forget to bring my meal card
Just as Guo Yun was feeling sorry for herself, a figure stopped beside her for a moment and then placed a pineapple bun on her table.
Guo Yun was so surprised that her pupils were shocked. She wanted to look up at the person next to her, but she lowered her head subconsciously.
Besides, besides Mei Fang, who else could it be...
"I see you usually buy this... why don't you use it to fill your stomach?"
Mei Fang's voice came into Guo Yun's ears beside her, like a ray of spring sunshine warming her heart.
"No, that... I... I'm not hungry—No, no, I'm hungry!"
Guo Yun was conflicted, afraid of owing someone a favor and also afraid of hurting Mei Fang. She had no idea what to say in such a situation.
Seeing that she was so embarrassed and unable to respond, Mei Fang was afraid that she would feel awkward, so he did not go back to his seat directly. After giving her the bread, he left the classroom again.
Guo Yun carefully held the pineapple bun that Mei Fang gave her. A rainbow seemed to appear in her bright and hazy eyes. After a long time, she was willing to slowly tear open the pineapple bun and eat it bite by bite.
She never thought that pineapple buns, which she only used to fill her stomach on weekdays, could be so delicious.
When Mei Fang came back from outside, it was almost time for lunch.
Guo Yun gave Mei Fang a seat and let him in. Then she thought for a long time and finally handed Mei Fang a note:
[Thank you for the pineapple bun]
[I will definitely pay you back tomorrow]
After seeing the note, Mei Fang nodded gently to Guo Yun.
He couldn't tell how excited Guo Yun was.
To him, this was not something worth mentioning.
But he felt that Guo Yun was a little too introverted and had too low self-esteem, and he couldn't stand it.
Um…
However, this kind of thing can only be changed by oneself, and he can't help Guo Yun in any way.
Mei Fang had been planning to lie down and take a nap, but suddenly two flying paper cranes, one blue and one red, with streams of light trailing behind them, floated past his field of vision.
Huh? What is that
Am I dazzled
Mei Fang rubbed his eyes and when he looked carefully again, the thousand paper cranes were gone.
…
He saw Guo Yun standing beside him, still with her head down, looking like she was worried about something, and patting her cheek from time to time.
She was thinking about how to thank Mei Fang tomorrow.
This is not something Mei Fang knew.
However, when seeing her like this, Mei Fang couldn't help but think of a favorite female anime character in his mind.
Come to think of it, when she encounters difficulties, she seems to be like her and thinks about bread...
It feels a little cute.
Mei Fang wrote words of encouragement on the note.
[It is normal for classmates to help each other when they encounter difficulties! Don’t feel embarrassed. I may ask you for help when I have difficulties in the future. In short, everyone should help each other more.]
After Mei Fang finished writing this paragraph, she felt that something was missing, so she added a cute little animal expression at the end and handed it to Guo Yun.
Guo Yun was shocked when she saw the note Mei Fang handed back. She wrote something in a hurry and then handed it back.
[Big family of dumplings? ]
I had been planning to finish writing the Cloud Chapter before posting it, but let’s just start serializing it now!
