Peng Zige came back to class the next day, his face was still very bad, and there were several kinds of pills in his backpack. When the time comes, take out the mineral water and count the particles to eat.
Between classes, he was surrounded by several boys and girls who had a good time. Those people came in several waves, and Peng Zige also told several times about what illness he had, whether it was serious or not, and whether he could get better.
"It's more tiring than if I'm sick..." Peng Zige lay on the table feebly: "I'm tired..."
Both Li Erqin and Su Zi turned around, their worries expressed beyond words, but they tacitly did not "torture" Peng Zige again.
Peng Zige missed one day's class, and this day's class was not able to listen well. Several times, he squatted on the table and closed his eyes.
The teachers in the class knew about Peng Zige's situation and didn't bother him.
At noon, the group went to eat, but Peng Zige didn't go. He brought the stomach-nourishing porridge that his mother made for him, and put it in a thermos cup.
Li Erqin and Su Zi, who were accustomed to having Peng Zige in their ears, were very uncomfortable. Only Rong Si didn't seem to be affected at all.
Before the afternoon study began, they got together to chat. Su Zi put the warm boiled water filled earlier on Peng Zige's table: "Get well soon."
Peng Zige hummed weakly: "Soon it will be a lively dragon again."
Su Zi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Li Erqin has been a little absent-minded since the morning, and even Rong Si speaks to her, she looks like she can't hear it.
Peng Zige looked at her uneasy several times and asked, "Er Qin, did something happen?"
Li Erqin returned to his senses, and shook his head as he wanted to say something.
Peng Zige was surprised that Li Erqin was never a person who was hesitant and did not speak directly. He looked at Rong Si inquiringly, and saw that Rong Si was resting his chin in his left hand, while holding a pen in his right hand and poking at the manuscript paper.
It turned out that Li Erqin was not alone in his thoughts.
Peng Zige thought about it, and only thought of one possibility: "A Si, did you quarrel with Er Qin?"
The two named put their attention on him at the same time, Er Qin: "No."
"I think the atmosphere between the two of you is weird." Peng Zige leaned back on the table: "Can't you all get along peacefully without me?"
Su Zi's white eyes were about to go to the sky.
Peng Zige was awakened by Su Zi's expression and touched his nose: "I guessed wrong?"
Li Erqin sighed and finally explained, "Brother Ruan Nuonuo, do you remember Ruan Mingxian?"
Peng Zige nodded.
Li Erqin took a peek at Rong Si and found that he looked as usual, and continued: "He confessed to me again last night."
confession
again
The other three grabbed the key words at the same time, and this time Su Zi asked more anxiously than Peng Zige: "Has he confessed to you before?"
"Um."
Peng Zige hurriedly joined and asked, "And then? You agreed?"
"No."
Peng Zige was a little puzzled: "Isn't that the end? What do you want to do with this?"
Li Erqin bowed his head in distress: "He asked me why I rejected him."
Peng Zige: "Why?"
Li Erqinzhao replied to Ruan Mingxian's words last night and repeated: "Because I don't like it."
Peng Zige spread his hands, his expression was vivid, and he forgot that he was still sick: "No problem!"
"He asked me again, how do I know I don't like him."
Peng Zige was stunned, what the hell is going on
Li Erqin: "And ask me if I know what it feels like to like it."
Su Zi frowned, and out of the corner of the eye saw Rong Si put down the pen.
"So," Rong Si said, "how do you answer him?"
"I don't know if I like someone or not?" Li Erqin's answer was no different from last night's answer.
Rong Si looked away expressionlessly.
Li Erqin didn't understand what Rong Si's reaction meant. However, he didn't dare to ask. If it was replaced by Peng Zige, he could ask casually, which was easy and natural.
"A Si, what do you mean by that expression?"
Li Erqin almost thought that he accidentally said what was in his heart, but this sentence was indeed said by Peng Zige.
Rong Si ignored him.
He persisted: "Are you looking down on the lack of emotional intelligence of my Erqin?"
Li Erqin's expression froze, and he always felt that these words sounded awkward. But Peng Zige's tired face was frank because of his illness.
"Is your stomach uncomfortable?" Rong Si reminded aloud.
"Uncomfortable..." When Peng Zige heard the word "stomach", he instantly felt that his sister Lin's upper body was weak: "I will never get sick again."
The New Year's Day celebration was held as scheduled.
Li Erqin ultimately did not participate in becoming the host. After being rejected again, Ruan Ming did not appear again.
Li Erqin saw him again on the big stage of the New Year's Day celebration.
He wore a black formal suit with a white shirt, and stood in the middle of the stage, suppressing the presence of the hostess next to him.
I don't know if it was because he was standing in the spot where the spotlight gathered, or because of his elaborate dress as the host that day, Li Erqin, who was sitting in the front row on the side, looked at him seriously for the first time.
Ruan Nuonuo was right. Although Ruan Mingxian was black, he did look good and was definitely popular with girls. Usually his expression is always a smile without a smile, but now his face is serious and serious, but it gives Li Erqin a peculiar feeling.
All kinds of singing and dancing performers went up and down, only Ruan Mingxian always appeared on the stage.
Li Erqin's position is on the far left below the stage, which is the position closest to the stage, so that students who want to participate in the show can come on stage at any time. But the position is too far, even when the lights on the stage are bright, her position is still dark. Sitting next to her was Rong Si, dressed in a black performance dress with a white shirt showing at the cuffs.
He even had his hairstyle carefully designed today, and the hair on his forehead fell softly in front of his eyes, fluffy and soft. The face that has been put on makeup for the performance, the eyebrows are like ink paintings.
Li Erqin tried to talk to him several times, but he held back.
Because Rong Si seems to be... asleep again.
- What are you so tired of doing every day? It's so noisy here, can you still fall asleep
Li Erqin tilted his head to think.
- The eyelashes seem to be very long.
Come over to see.
-Are good-looking boys with long eyelashes
This time even hands were dispatched.
As he was about to touch Rong Si's eyelashes, he suddenly heard Ruan Ming on the stage read his name first.
She raised her head abruptly and bumped into Ruan Ming's first look at her.
Can you see me so dark
Li Erqin was puzzled again.
"Let's go." Rong Si's low voice came from his ear. He had just woken up and was still a little hoarse.
Then he felt Rong Si stand up.
Slim fit suit, perfectly cut.
Li Erqin sat and looked up, only to think that it was Rong Si's legs.
She stood up.
Rong Si smiled: "Don't be nervous."
On the other side, Peng Zige and Su Zi, who were sitting in the class group, also heard the names of Li Erqin and Rong Si, and screamed excitedly with their classmates.
In fact, the moment Rong Si's name came out of the host's mouth, there was a burst of applause and screams from the audience. Not just from their class, but also girls from other classes.
Peng Zige's cheers seemed insignificant in the middle, and he stared at him angrily.
During this period, Rong Si took Li Erqin, who was wearing a small white dress, and walked to the middle of the stage calmly.
A tall boy and a slender girl.
The two held hands and bowed slightly to the classmates and teachers under the stage.
There was no sound in the whole venue.
Everyone quietly watched Rong Si walk to the piano. Intense lights shone down from behind the stage and above, drawing Rong Si's shadow on the ground as a thin and long black shadow.
He sat down in front of the piano, his back straight and his temperament extraordinary.
On the other side of the piano, stood Li Erqin.
Slim.
Rong Si raised his hand slightly and slowly pressed a piano key.
Then the piano sounded, gradually followed by a beautiful singing voice.
No one had seen or heard Rong Si and Li Erqin's rehearsal before this.
Except for Ruan Mingxian.
But in the end the rehearsal is a rehearsal, I really saw him and her performance.
He was still surprised.
Just like the silent people in the audience.
But what surprised him even more was the fit between Rong Si and Li Erqin. The feeling of being a born couple was always lingering in his mind.
They fit together so perfectly.
Li Erqin's naturally cold voice gained extra effect when singing this song.
Although she is still emotionally young, when she sings: "sthefairestmaid."
That cold sliding and faint feeling passed through everyone's heart, not joy, not just sadness, but everyone's youth.
But gradually, I suddenly started to feel sad.
Especially seniors in high school.
It seems that when I first came in high school, I was ignorantly pulling my new acquaintance at the same table, passing by every trimmed green belt, and knowing every new flower. When I experienced a casual look back, I saw the back that made my heart move. Some have spoken, gained, and lost. But some have become the deepest secrets that will always exist in the heart.
Year after year, the maple leaves fall and the peach blossoms bloom. I once thought it would be a long and uncountable high school career, but I have reached the third year in the teacher's "fighting for these three years" over and over again.
Roses will bloom.
Then it will wither.
Youth too.
When the last sentence was sung, Li Erqin turned to look at Rong Si.
Under the light, his beautiful face seemed to glow brightly, and his whole body was covered with golden velvet. Feeling Li Erqin's sight, he raised his head and saw Li Erqin's heart with smiling eyes.
She never felt that Rong Si was so eye-catching, as if it was out of reach.
But he was not far from her.
She just feels good.
Can stand with you in the middle of the most dazzling stage.
I can walk with you through the playground in the morning and the corridor in the evening.
To be able to run with you on the running track in the scorching sun with sweat in the summer.
I can work with you on a headache on a cold winter night.
in my most precious years.
Brief silence.
The applause and cheers erupted even more eagerly than at the beginning.
When people are emotional, they always say things that they thought they would stick to for the rest of their lives. Peng Zige touched Su Zi with his elbow.
Su Zi turned her head inquiringly: "Huh?"
"Let's work hard together?" Peng Zige said.
"what?"
"Four of us, one hard work." He clenched his fists: "Choose science classes together, go to the same university together, then work together and be friends for life."
Su Zi was stunned for a while, then smiled: "Okay."
Peng Zige stretched out his little finger: "Pull the hook."
"Pull the hook."
Now that the performance was over, Rong Si quickly brought Li Erqin back to the class. On the way back to Peng Zige and Su Zi, I received admiration and praise from classmates from time to time.
The heating in the auditorium was turned on too much, and Li Erqin was sweating as he squeezed into Peng Zige's side.
Looking back at Rong Si, there were actually a few fine sweats on his forehead.
"It's a little hot." Rong Si sat down, took off his tuxedo coat, and put it on his left leg, with his back slightly arched forward, revealing two prominent shoulder blades.
Peng Zige patted him on the back excitedly: "Every time I want to see it, I hide it and don't show it to me. It turns out to be a blockbuster!"
Rong Si turned to look at him.
Li Erqin also frowned unconsciously. I feel that this shot is very painful.
"Our class will definitely be ranked! Believe it or not!" Peng Zige looked proud.
Li Erqin looked blank: "Ranking?"
"Yeah." Su Zi explained: "Every year the activities are ranked second, and the winning class will get a prize."
"Any prizes?"
Peng Zige nodded again and again: "Yeah, there's still a certificate!"
"Is that so..."
Peng Zige was surprised: "You don't know?"
Li Erqin shook his head.
Peng Zige went to ask Rong Si again, "You don't know either?"
Rong Si: "I know."
"No wonder, I said you sang so well, it must be to get the ranking." He glanced at Rong Si puzzled: "Do you know why you didn't tell Li Erqin?"
The sweat on Rong Si's face finally faded away a little: "Does she know, it makes no difference."
Peng Zige reacted for a moment, and looked at Su Zi: "That's right..."
Three days after the New Year's Day celebration, the school's rankings were released. The program of Li Erqin and Rong Si won the second place. The head teacher happily announced the good news in the morning self-study, but Peng Zige was very dissatisfied: "Why not first?"
Some people echoed: "That is, Rong Si and Li Erqin's shows are so good."
The head teacher glared at Peng Zige helplessly: "You haven't done anything, so you're still picking and choosing here?"
Peng Zige was not convinced: "In my heart, Ah Si and Er Qin's shows are the best."
The head teacher didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said with a solemn expression: "Okay, now the New Year's Day program has passed, and the final exam will be in two weeks. You all work hard, get through these two weeks, and go home and celebrate the New Year."
The following response immediately became somewhat disingenuous: "Oh..."
"What's the reaction?" The head teacher was annoyed: "You are so reluctant when it comes to studying? I see that you have been very unwilling to study because of the New Year's Day program. I'll see how you celebrate the New Year."
Peng Zige pouted.
The head teacher happened to see it, and opened the pot with Peng Zige: "Peng Zige, what do you think you are dissatisfied with?"
"No!" Peng Zige sat up straight: "Lao Ban, your words are the imperial edict!"
"Itchy skin?"
"It's not itchy!"
head teacher:"… "
Then naturally entered the intense review week. The teachers of each course have finished teaching the new knowledge and begin to systematically review the first chapter. The learning intensity of key high schools is much stronger than that of other schools. Sets of test papers and exercises were handed out, and they were stacked higher and higher on the table. When they were writing their homework with their heads down, they couldn't see the small vortex above the students' heads, the rows of dark backs of their heads, from the podium.
In order to seize every minute and second of time, some classmates did not even go to the cafeteria to eat lunch. They went to the supermarket to buy a few buckets of instant noodles and soaked them, writing papers while eating. So the classroom smelled of instant noodles for a long time.
Li Erqin thought it was fun, and he took the other three to eat together in the classroom. However, when they proposed the second time, they were rejected by Peng Zige and Rong Si righteously.
He and Rong Si are still growing, especially Peng Zige, who was half a head shorter than Rong Si at the beginning, but now they are almost equal. Two people stand together, both white and tall.
Su Zi's teeth itch with hatred.
Li Erqin comforted her kindly: "But Su Zi, you are also very white, but you are not as tall as them."
Peng Zige nodded in agreement: "If you were as tall as me, those little boys who wrote you love letters now would have to bite their tongues and kill themselves."
He was chased by Su Zi and beat him out of the classroom.
Li Erqin took a deep breath and took out the test paper from the last class test and put it in front of Rong Si.
Rong Si glanced at it politically, and raised his eyebrows unexpectedly.
"Oh, it's not this page." Li Erqin stuck out his tongue, turned the test paper upside down, and tapped a big question with his pen: "Three points were deducted. But I think I have written all the points I should have written."
Rong Si thought about Li Erqin's answer for a while, then took out his own paper and compared the two's answers.
Hmm... It's Li Erqin's way of thinking again. Although it makes sense and cannot be refuted, it is indeed not the correct answer. Thinking about it this way, let's quickly make up her physics and let her choose a science class together.
Li Erqin observed Rong Si's expression: "So... I was wrong?"
Rong Si nodded: "Wrong."
"where?"
Rong Si: "...I think about it."
Li Erqin: "?"
＊＊＊
On the coldest day of the first half of senior year, they finished their last final exam. The campus is very quiet. Occasionally, twos and threes of people walk from the teaching building to the dormitory building.
When Li Erqin came out of the examination room with a pencil case, he ran into Rong Si who was waiting for her outside the classroom.
"How did the test go?" he asked.
"Okay."
Rong Si was silent for a few seconds, then smiled.
"Wait for Zige and Su Zi?" Li Erqin asked.
"Um."
The two walked side by side to Peng Zige's examination room.
Rong Si asked, "Go home in a while?"
"Well." Li Erqin nodded: "Dad is here to pick it up."
"Um."
"And you?"
"Take the bus."
"it is good."
When he happened to walk to Peng Zige's examination room, Li Erqin showed his head and was immediately discovered by Peng Zige. He made a face at Li Erqin, and the invigilator stood up alertly: "Don't whisper."
Li Erqin stuck out his tongue and retracted his head.
Rong Si laughed hilariously.
Li Erqin blushed, leaned against the railing of the corridor with him, was silent for a while, and asked, "How many buses do you take to go home?"
"Route 526."
"Me too."
Rong Si said lightly and glanced over: "Where do you live?"
Li Erqin reported an address.
Rong Si smiled and said nothing.
Li Erqin didn't understand what Rong Si meant and asked uncertainly, "Then let's go home together?"
"OK."
