Zhang Tianqi sat in the middle of the fourth row, and Ding Feng sat on the right side of the second row. When Ji Su walked in, the two of them looked up at Ji Su at the same time. Although they knew that Ji Su and Wen Liang had a special relationship, and their hopes were slim, they still had a little hope in their hearts. Maybe the beauty would get carried away and sit next to them? Especially since everyone knew that Wen Liang and Ren Yi were close friends, and Ren Yi did so badly in the exam this time, they had to help him save a seat for the sake of brotherhood.
In this era, the popular idea is that brothers are siblings and women are clothes. If you value women over friendship, you will easily be isolated by your friends.
It is human nature for young people to admire Ji Su, not to mention Zhang Tianqi and Ding Feng who felt they still had some hope. After all, their scores were better than Ji Su's this time. Even the large group of boys standing outside the corridor crowded by the window and anxiously watched Ji Su's figure. They didn't ask for much, as long as Ji Su didn't sit next to any boy. This mentality is very common. If I can't get it, no one can get it!
Some people even quietly walked up to Meng Ke and asked her if she would continue to sit at the same table with Ji Su. Meng Ke just smiled and said nothing, making everyone's efforts in vain. Chen Xiaozhen stood among the girls, listening to the noise of the boys around her and the whispers of the girls. No matter whether it was good or bad, praise or criticism, the topic always revolved around the name that she hated: Ji Su!
I don't know when Chen Xiaozhen started to dislike this bright girl, and today he hates her so much.
That's why she stood up in the chemistry class to prove that Ji Su asked Wen Liang to copy homework. Unfortunately, Wen Liang was too cunning and let Ji Su escape without being criticized and hated by the teacher. This was not what made her angry the most. When Chen Xiaozhen thought about how Wen Liang didn't even look at her after that day, and even Ji Su acted as if nothing had happened and treated her the same as everyone else, she felt like a hard thorn was stuck in her heart, sour and painful!
What is this? This is total disregard!
From childhood to adulthood, Chen Xiaozhen was praised by everyone wherever she went like a little princess. But since she came to Class 3 and met Ji Su, she seemed to have turned into an ugly duckling overnight. She no longer had the chasing eyes of boys, the loving care of teachers, and the envy and useless ridicule of little girls.
And all of this should have been hers, just because of that person...
Chen Xiaozhen lowered his head, stepped firmly on the ground with his toes, and a look of resentment flashed in his eyes.
Ji Su seemed unaware that he was at the center of public opinion and attention. After entering the room, he paused at the podium and glanced at Wen Liang's position. Uncle Wen, bored, was playing a pen spinning game between his thumb, index finger and middle finger. The round pen flew up and down and back and forth between his slender fingers, with various tricks and extraordinary dexterity.
Ji Su smiled slightly, and under the gaze of everyone, he walked to Wen Liang without hesitation and said softly, "Can I sit here?"
Wen Liang looked up in surprise, and what he saw was the girl's beautiful face.
There was a brief silence, and Wen Liang smiled and said, "Of course, it's an honor!"
Ji Su pulled open a stool and sat down, her hands on her thighs, her calm face showing no flaws, sitting here as if it was as normal as having a meal. No one knew that her heartbeat almost made her whole body vibrate!
Zhang Tianqi and Ding Feng looked at each other and laughed at themselves. This answer was expected. Their wishful thinking was just the hope for a miracle. They were still okay. The most exaggerated thing was the group of idiots outside the window. They climbed on the window in pain, like their anus was exploded. There were three layers of them from bottom to top. Their sad and mournful eyes could make any rotten girl fall in love with them if they were posted on Sina Micro Novel. What a pity, you were born more than ten years earlier!
Ren Yi stood behind the crowd and saw this scene through a small gap, and sighed softly. This was good, so that the boss could finally get the beauty, which was better than letting her fall into the hands of others. As the saying goes, good things should be kept within the family, and he would feel better.
Ye Yuting raised her eyebrows and looked at the two of them thoughtfully, but she didn't show it. After being a class teacher for so long, she still had some tricks. She made a note of this matter and planned to talk to Wen Liang. She continued to read the list calmly:
"Liu Fangfang."
"Jie Hongtao."
…
It took most of the class to adjust all the seats. What Wen Liang didn't expect was that Meng Ke sat behind Ji Su and helped Ren Yi save a seat. The four people who had made up lessons were reunited in this way.
Looking at Ren Yi's smiling face, Wen Liang didn't understand that this group of people had set the rules for today without telling him. No wonder he had been so sentimental and lyrical just now. It turned out that he was afraid of being scolded and paved a way out. With Ji Su's personality, he would not do such a thing on purpose. It should be that Meng Ke, the little girl, had done Ren Yi's work and sacrificed herself. Wouldn't Ren Yi sell out his brother immediately
Wen Liang glanced at Ren Yi with a half-smile, and Ren Yi immediately turned around, cupped his hands and smiled, "I was reading Mencius these past two days, and came across a sentence that was out of the ordinary and outstanding. Since the beginning of human history, no one has ever been better than Confucius. I think it makes sense. To be honest, the way I look at you, Brother Wen, is exactly the same as the way Mencius looked at Confucius..."
This flattery was so loud that Ji Su and Meng Ke were both shocked by Ren Yi's thick skin. Meng Ke smiled and said, "Ren Yi, why don't you change your name to Ren Youcai..."
Ji Su smiled, and Ren Yi was proud of it. He said happily: "This is a good name, better than my dad's!"
Wen Liang couldn't stand it any longer. He hadn't even married yet, but he was already slandering his father. He said, "You've read Mencius, so you must have read Zhuangzi, right? Zhuangzi said that those who praise people to their faces are also good at slandering them behind their backs. Tell me, how many bad things have you said about me behind my back?"
Ren Yi started to cry out for injustice, Meng Ke fanned the flames, Ji Su just smiled and said nothing, Wen Liang laughed out loud, the whole classroom was a mess, but this was the most interesting part.
Ye Yuting walked up to the podium, clapped her hands to signal everyone to be quiet, and said: "Students, after two months of study, everyone has a deeper understanding of each other, and many people have changed from classmates to friends. This is very good, which shows that our class three is a united class. Everyone is proud of the class and proud of classmates..."
After the short speech, the bell rang for the end of get out of class. Meng Ke and Ren Yi left one after another. They knew that they had to leave space for Wen Liang and Ji Su to speak.
After most of the people in the classroom had left, Wen Liang smiled and said, "If someone had told me a year ago that one day I would be able to sit next to Ji Su, the boy's favorite classmate, I definitely wouldn't have believed it!"
Thinking of the past, Ji Su felt not sad, but sweet instead. A rare mischievous look appeared on his lips as he said, "Actually, I don't believe it either..."
Wen Liang was stunned, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Ji Su, you are going to learn bad things from me."
Following you, I can learn to be strong, learn faith, learn to like, learn to miss, learn dreams, and learn to wait, but the only thing I won’t learn is anything bad.
I know you don't want to be a good person, but you just can't be a bad person.
You are gentle and understanding, the boy whom I once missed but will never let go.
Wen Liang suggested finding a quiet place to talk. It was time to give Ji Su an explanation about the Qinghua Factory and Ji Zheng. The two walked side by side to the laboratory building and went up to the rooftop along the winding stairs. This place that often appeared in Ji Su's nightmares could no longer affect her at all.
Wen Liang sat on the edge of the rooftop, with his legs hanging naturally, swaying comfortably in the air more than ten meters above.
Ji Su stood behind him, and a gust of wind blew, rippling the girl's soft hair.
"Ji Su, Director Ji will be back soon. I finally kept my promise to you."
That night, Wen Liang took Ji Su to visit Ji Zheng in the Economic Investigation Brigade. That night, Ji Su experienced the greatest betrayal and pain in his life at a young age. When he hugged Wen Liang from behind, the 16-year-old boy said softly: Don't worry, I will take care of everything. Have a good sleep, and everything will be fine when you wake up tomorrow.
Ji Su fell into a deep sleep in despair, perhaps just for the broad back of the young man in his arms and the sonorous and powerful sound of his faint words.
Today, the promise has finally been fulfilled. Ji Su had no idea how many twists and turns and how much blood went on during that time, but she knew that without the man in front of her, she would have lost her future long ago.
There was a long silence.
Ji Su slowly knelt down behind Wen Liang, put his arms around his waist, and pressed his cold face against his back. Unconsciously, two lines of tears rolled down his cheeks, soon soaking his clothes.
In the late autumn of Qingzhou, the warm sunshine illuminates the small rooftop, where two young boys and girls snuggle gently together. It has nothing to do with love or grudges. The young men's dreams gradually become shattered in the dispute of blood and tears. Only the warm smile hangs on their lips, never dissipating.
There was a long silence.
Wen Liang felt the soft body of the girl behind him, without a single distracting thought in his mind. He raised his hands and said with a smile: "If you don't want to push me down, can you put me down? I'm a little scared sitting here!"
Ji Su burst into laughter, stood up obediently, held out his hand, his eyes gentle but firm, and said: "Hold my hand, I'm brave and not afraid."
Wen Liang turned around and looked at Ji Su. He was standing on the edge, with the sky more than ten meters behind him. He was silent.
Ji Su didn't care about his hesitation and said angrily, "Didn't we say that we should start over and be friends? You are so fussy, you are not the Wen Liang I know."
Wen Liang sighed in his heart. He didn't know whether Ji Su could tell the difference between gratitude and liking until today, but when a girl said such words without any reserve, it would probably hurt her heart if he didn't respond.
Wen Liang stretched out his hand, his fingertips passed through the breeze, through the boundaries, through the distance between hearts, and slowly touched each other.
