She couldn't accept it.
I couldn't help but express my feelings in excitement.
"Brother Xiuwen, I like you. Even if Sister Youran doesn't like me, I will always like you."
When Xu Xiuwen heard Jiang Ruoyu say that she liked him, he was stunned.
Half a day passed.
He asked nervously: "Xiao...Xiao Yu, don't joke with me."
"I'm not kidding, Brother Xiuwen, I've liked you since we were little, can't you really feel it at all?"
Jiang Ruoyu's question, "You really can't feel anything at all?" stumped Xu Xiuwen.
The scroll symbolizing memories suddenly turned forward in his mind.
Those yellowed pages of paper record the past events.
His thoughts suddenly drifted back to junior high school.
The first year of junior high school.
During a football match, Xu Xiuwen was injured by a junior high school senior who was two grades higher than him.
It is normal to get injured on the court, so Xu Xiuwen did not pursue the matter.
But a few days later, the senior student came to his home in person to apologize to him.
After returning to school after recovering from his injury, Xu Xiuwen heard that a girl had personally run to the senior's classroom and asked the senior to come and apologize in person in front of everyone.
The senior couldn’t handle the pressure and gossip from his classmates, so he did as he was told.
This matter has always troubled Xu Xiuwen.
He thought it was Xiao Youran who did it, but Xiao Youran said she didn't.
Xu Xiuwen thought the rumor was false.
Right now.
He suddenly remembered this incident.
Is this really happening
Is the little girl who just went to the senior’s classroom and asked him to apologize Jiang Ruoyu
Xu Xiuwen found it unbelievable.
You have to know that Jiang Ruoyu was only in the sixth grade at that time, still an elementary school student.
Does she have the courage to go to her senior classmate in the third year of junior high school alone and ask him to apologize
Also, if it was her, why didn't she tell herself
Next was my second year in junior high school.
Still playing football, but this time he hurt someone.
During a physical education class, Xu Xiuwen accidentally kicked the football out of the field and it happened to hit a female classmate who was passing by.
The female student’s injuries were not serious at the time, but she was scared and cried, and she also fell down.
The matter was brought to the attention of the teacher.
He still remembers what the teacher said.
Either win the forgiveness of the female classmate, or sweep the playground for a week.
The playground of their school is large, and the surrounding sycamore leaves are often scattered all over the playground.
This is not an easy job.
The female classmate was so scared that she cried, so she refused to forgive him.
Xu Xiuwen thought he would have to sweep the playground for a week.
As a result, the female classmate took the initiative to find him the next day and said that she forgave him.
As a result, he escaped the suffering of sweeping the playground.
He asked the female classmate why she suddenly forgave him.
The female classmate said: "You should thank others for speaking well of you, otherwise I will not forgive you."
Xu Xiuwen always thought that it was Xiao Youran who spoke well of him.
He asked Xiao Youran, but the latter said it was not her.
When he was young, he always thought that Xiao Youran was too shy to admit it.
Now that this memory came to his mind, Xu Xiuwen also discovered that something was wrong.
Could it be that Jiang Ruoyu found a female classmate and said something good about him
There is a third thing.
It’s just a few days before the junior high school entrance examination.
As a mother, Ning Wanqiu did not send him to take the exam.
Jiang Ruoyu never missed a beat. She showed up at his doorstep on time every morning and accompanied him to the examination room.
After every exam, she would be the first to appear at the campus gate.
Past events came to mind one by one.
Xu Xiuwen finally realized something.
At that time, his mind was entirely focused on Xiao Youran, and he completely ignored Jiang Ruoyu.
Now thinking back carefully, it seemed that Jiang Ruoyu had done a lot for him.
Xu Xiuwen doesn't think that a simple childhood sweetheart relationship can make a girl do so many things.
Then the answer is simple.
The girl might actually like it being his.
I watched the expression on Xu Xiuwen's face change from disbelief, to surprise, to hesitation, and then to shock.
Jiang Ruoyu asked calmly: "Brother Xiuwen, do you believe it now?"
Xu Xiuwen had no choice but to believe it.
He couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Yu, do you really like me? What do you like about me?"
Jiang Ruoyu looked into Xu Xiuwen's eyes and said seriously: "Brother Xiuwen, no matter how many times you ask, I will tell you that I like you. As for what I like, I can't explain it clearly, but I just like you."
Hearing the girl's affectionate words, Xu Xiuwen was confused.
"Xiao Yu, maybe you are mistaken. In fact, your love for me is the love of a younger sister for a brother, not the love between a man and a woman."
Jiang Ruoyu frowned and said, "Brother Xiuwen, do you think I'm that stupid? Of course I know it's not a sister's love for a brother, and I've never treated you as a brother. If possible, I hope that Brother Xiuwen will only be with me and ignore other girls, even if that person is Sister Youran."
Xu Xiuwen didn't know what to do, so he chose to avoid it.
"Xiao Yu, let's talk about this later. You're taking the college entrance exam tomorrow. Don't let other things affect your mood for the exam."
"Brother Xiuwen, if I don't explain clearly, do you think I will still be in the mood to take the college entrance examination tomorrow?"
The girl's question stumped Xu Xiuwen.
indeed.
Avoidance doesn't seem appropriate.
Xu Xiuwen really didn't want to affect Jiang Ruoyu's exam because of himself.
"What should we do then?"
"Brother Xiu Wen, you haven't answered my question yet." Jiang Ruoyu said calmly.
"What's the problem? Ah—" Xu Xiuwen paused, "How should I put it? Cheng Lu just happened to be next to me at that time, so I was with her."
"Since you are with her, why do you still want to provoke Sister Youran? If you do this, how sad will Sister Youran be if she finds out?"
Xu Xiuwen sighed: "Yu Ran knows about the relationship between me and Cheng Lu."
"What?"
"Don't look at me like that, I'm telling the truth."
Jiang Ruoyu widened her eyes with a look of disbelief.
Seeing that the girl didn't speak, Xu Xiuwen was worried, so he asked, "Xiaoyu? Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Jiang Ruoyu responded, "Brother Xiuwen."
"Um."
"Are you saying that Sister Youran knows about your relationship with Cheng Lu?"
"Yes."
Jiang Ruoyu felt it was unbelievable.
She thought she knew Xiao Youran very well, after all, they grew up together.
