Ruan Yue stayed in the hospital for a week.
On the seventh day of the first month, I went back to school.
Because she didn't come to class for a week, she sat in the classroom for the first time and attracted the attention of many people in the class. After morning exercises, Qin Zheng approached Lu Chen with a smile and asked her, "Sister Ruan, do you feel better?" Is it gone?"
"much better."
Turning her head to look at him, Ruan Yue said.
Qin Zheng said again: "I think you seem to have lost weight, and your chin is pointed. People often say that illnesses come like a mountain and go away like a thread. You have to take care of it for a while."
"Well, thank you."
"I-"
Qin Zheng wanted to say something, but someone pushed his body violently. Lu Chen looked at him with an impatient expression on his face, "If you want to talk, go ahead."
"Brother Shen, you can't do this, you won't let people speak..."
At the end, he looked at Lu Chen's face, his voice inexplicably dropped several decibels, he laughed dryly, and went back to his seat.
When the surroundings became quiet, Lu Chen lowered his head and opened the English book on the table.
Li Shiyu raised his elbow and bumped him, "What's the matter?"
Ever since Ruan Yue got sick and asked for leave, this person was weird, he didn't smile every day, and they even joked that it was because his sweetheart was not around so he didn't want to study.
But now it's good, when the man came back, his complexion became even worse.
Just ask yourself this question, and don't pay attention to it.
After thinking about it secretly, Li Shiyu's voice became lower and lower, "Is there a conflict?"
"Is it over?"
Looking up at him, Lu Chen suddenly got up, took the English book on the table, and went straight out of the classroom.
The distance between each other is too close, so Ruan Yue naturally heard all the commotion in the back row.
She knew that the reason why Lu Chen was in a bad mood was probably because of her, and when she heard him walk away, she couldn't calm down, she lowered her head and took out her cell phone to calculate the date.
Chinese New Year is on the tenth day of February. At the end of January, they will have winter vacation, and the specific date of the exam is calculated to be in the second half of the month, that is to say, at most half a month, this semester will end.
Her grades in the first two exams were very stable, and she was ranked in the thirties of the grade. As long as there were no accidents, she would move to Class 18 in the next semester.
After she left, Lu Chen should be out of sight and out of mind.
It was also similar to what she thought. In the next half month, Lu Chen took the initiative to say a word to her. She wanted to apologize again, but after thinking about it, she felt that for him, apologizing was probably a kind of irony. make him angrier.
So there is no more to say.
At first it was a few rows behind, and then everyone in the class probably knew it well, the two of them had a falling out.
Even Cheng Xiao next door sighed several times.
Time passed day by day. On the 28th and 29th of the second half of the year, they held the final exam for the second grade of senior high school. After the exam, they had a few days off. On the fourth day of February, they went to the school to receive the notice.
Because Ruan Chengyi and Zhao Bingzhi divorced, and after the property division, Ruan Yue and Zhao Bingzhi still lived in Lanyuan's house. The mother and daughter usually go to work and go to school, and spend little time at home. Besides Wen Ru, they were hired to help with laundry Except for clothes, cooking and sanitation, everyone else left with Ruan Chengyi.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, Ruan Yue took a taxi to the school.
In the classroom, Dong Guofeng was distributing grade slips. She thought there were too many people, so she stood outside by the railing and waited in a daze, when she heard a voice behind her, "Ruan Yue."
Cheng Xiao ran to her with a smile, "Guess how many I am?"
Looking at her expression, Ruan Yue couldn't help but smiled, and said seriously: "I think about it, it must be within fifty."
"Really! Hahaha! I'm forty-nine!"
Cheng Xiao held the grade strip in both hands and showed it in front of her, "Are you good or not?! It's so cool to stay in Qingbei class like this."
"That's cool, treat me to dinner later."
"no problem!"
Cheng Xiao put on the grade slip and patted his chest with one hand, "Speaking of which, it's a blessing in disguise. If it wasn't for the fact that someone gave you laxatives and I drank it, then I wouldn't have been hospitalized. If I hadn't been hospitalized, I wouldn't have made it here. Qingbei class, if you can't make it to Qingbei class, you may not know that I am still a potential stock, hahaha."
She has always been an optimist. After speaking happily, she asked Ruan Yue, "How many names are you?"
"I haven't claimed it yet, there are a bit too many people inside."
Ruan Yue glanced into the classroom.
Turning around, he stood by the railing and looked down again.
In the schools in the north, the trees are bare in winter, coupled with the cold weather, it is somewhat bleak.
She is tall, and she didn't wear a school uniform when she came here today. She wears a white woolen jacket with dark blue jeans, snow boots, the collar is turned up, and her white and thin chin is buried in it. Don't bother people.
"Are you OK?"
After a little hesitation, Cheng Xiao asked tentatively.
"It's alright-"
Ruan Yue shook her head and smiled at her.
Maybe it's because the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there is joy everywhere, so every day at home, there is a feeling of emptiness.
In the past at this time, Ruan Chengyi would move things like small hills to his home. As the year approached, the servants were busy cleaning inside and out, making people feel noisy all the time. Now that they have divorced, this kind of excitement no longer exists. On the contrary, it makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
It should be fine with time.
Seeing that she was absent-minded, Cheng Xiao raised her eyes to glance at the classroom of Class 18, and sighed: "How do you think this smart person's head is long? Fu Zhixing is also the first in the whole class, higher than the second in our class." It's more than 20 points, it's too awesome."
Said Cao Cao Cao Cao will be there, and before she finished speaking, Fu Zhixing came out with the report card.
Seeing Ruan Yue standing outside, he quickly approached and asked with a smile, "How many?"
"I haven't received it yet."
After Ruan Yue finished answering, she looked up and saw that there were fewer people around the podium in the classroom, so she walked in to get the report card.
"Ruan Yue did a good job this time, twenty-seventh place."
On the podium, Dong Guofeng handed her the report card and said casually, "Four people in our class have entered the top 50 this time, and Qin Ziyu has the best score, 24th."
"Thank you, teacher."
After receiving the report card, Ruan Yue found Qin Ziyu standing next to her, so she smiled and said, "Congratulations."
Qin Ziyu also pulled the corner of his lips, looked over her shoulder, and saw Meng Hao outside bumping into Fu Zhixing with his elbow, with a teasing smile on his face.
Presumably, I heard Ruan Yue's achievements.
After casually folding the report card and putting it in her pocket, Ruan Yue left the classroom.
Cheng Xiao looked at her, then at Fu Zhixing and Meng Hao, smiled and said, "It's almost twelve o'clock, I'll invite you to lunch, just thank the monitor for helping me highlight the key points this time."
"It's a little effort, you're welcome."
"I can, I can."
While Meng Hao was talking, he gave Fu Zhixing a blank look, "It's not good to say no to a girl who has her own heart."
Cheng Xiao took Ruan Yue's arm, "Then let's go."
A group of four quickly left the school.
Because they wanted to eat something nearby, the four of them didn't take a taxi after they went out. They walked and chatted, wandering around, and it was half past twelve inadvertently.
Cheng Xiao asked: "Do you want to eat anything?"
"Whatever, it's up to you."
Meng Hao was the first to reply.
Cheng Xiao turned his attention to Fu Zhixing and Ruan Yue.
I don't know why.
I always feel that after Ruan Yue came back from the hospital to go to class, the two people had a lot of separation.
Obviously we still spend a lot of time together, she often sees her in the morning and after school, but there is no such sweet atmosphere as before, Ruan Yue seems to be a lot more restrained, and Fu Zhixing is the same, becoming well-behaved, especially polite.
A few minutes later, the four of them decided to go to a nearby mall for dinner.
Cheng Xiao walked ahead with Ruan Yue on his arm. From the corner of his eye, he saw the two boys were a few meters away from them, so he lowered his voice and asked, "Are you and Fu Zhixing together?"
Ruan Yue thought for a while, and said in a low voice, "That's right."
We didn't say that kind of thing formally, but we have already expressed our hearts to each other, and we have a tacit understanding to study hard together, so we should be fine together.
Seeing her say that, Cheng Xiao instantly breathed a sigh of relief, "I just said, it's not normal for you to be so low-key recently."
"?"
Ruan Yue looked at her with some puzzlement.
Cheng Xiao asked again: "Aren't they all sweet in private? Squad leader Fu talks about love. What does it look like? Is there any, huh?"
She made a "kiss" gesture with both hands.
Ruan Yue hurriedly said, "No."
Seeing that she didn't believe it, she said, "I've been preparing for the final exam recently, and I'm very busy. We don't have any dates in private."
"Okay, okay, don't ask."
Cheng Xiao took her hand and said to himself, "I understand. If you are not together, you will feel confident, but if you are together, you will feel guilty. If you want to distance yourself, you are afraid of being discovered by the teacher, right?"
Ruan Yue laughed and didn't refute her anymore.
Because she stayed in the hospital for a week, during this time, she was indeed concentrating on studying.
Fu Zhixing had never been ranked first in the whole class. At such a critical moment, he definitely couldn't spare time to think about other things.
The restaurants in the mall are all on the fifth floor.
After the four people entered the gate, they took the escalator and turned around several times, and they reached the fifth floor.
Unfortunately, at a corner, I ran into a large group of people from Class 19.
However, not all of them belonged to Class 19, there were several other boys and girls in the same level, and there were also a few well-known boys in the third grade.
Most of these people were tall, and they just stood together talking and laughing. They looked quite magnificent and attracted a lot of attention.
Looking up and seeing Lu Chen in the middle, Ruan Yue pulled the dazed Cheng Xiao, "Let's go."
Today is February 4th, Lu Chen's birthday.
Seeing her bowing her head to leave, Cheng Xiao hurriedly said "Oh".
But he never thought that there was a boy in his class who saw Fu Zhixing, greeted him with a smile and asked, "Squad leader, are you eating too?"
Meng Hao is a lively person, so he walked over after hearing this, "Hey, there are so many of you, what is the happy event?"
"Brother Shen's birthday."
Li Shiyu glanced at him and said with a smile, "It's fate to meet each other. If you want to eat together, it will be lively when there are many people."
"Yes, yes, such a rare coincidence."
"Give brother Shen a face."
Hearing Li Shiyu's invitation, the rest of the people immediately chimed in.
Meng Hao was a little hesitant, but Fu Zhixing looked down at Ruan Yue, smiled and said, "No need, you can eat, I won't bother you."
"Why, you don't get face for a meal?"
Lu Chen, who had been silent all this time, smiled at this moment, looked at Fu Zhixing and asked, "Does the school grass look down on us scumbags, or poor people like us, or else..."
His eyes fell on Ruan Yue, "Afraid of being influenced by us to talk about love?"
In a word, everyone around fell silent.
Before Fu Zhixing could speak, Qin Zheng said again: "Sister Ruan, please give Brother Shen some face. It's his birthday today, don't disappoint."
"That's right, it's all happened."
"Squad leader, let's go."
Sensing that the atmosphere was slightly weird, a few girls from Class 19 and a few boys from Class 18 stretched out their hands together, pushing and shoving, and the four of them followed the group into the restaurant.
Because of the large number of people, Lu Chen ordered a buffet with a good reputation, and it was only time for the meal. He estimated the number of people in advance and reserved a seat, and the waiter didn't let them wait. In an unoccupied area by the window.
After taking a drink and sitting down, Cheng Xiao saw that Ruan Yue was not in high spirits, so she leaned into her ear and said, "If you are frustrated in love, you must find a place. Those people always talk like that, so don't take it to heart."
"I'm fine."
Ruan Yue shook his head.
She knew Lu Chen's temperament very well, he was not a bad person, he had cared for her before, and he was definitely angry when he received such a text message from her unexpectedly.
She just didn't expect that he would be angry for so long.
Cheng Xiao wiped the edge of the table with a wet towel, and couldn't help feeling emotional: "Counting we have more than 30 people, Lu Chen bleeds thousands of dollars at once, tsk, that's really generous."
Ruan Yue looked at her and smiled, "I'll get some food."
She hasn't had a good appetite recently, and she hasn't found anything she wants to eat after holding the dinner plate for a long time. Finally, she stood by the dessert cabinet and was just about to pick up a small cake with a tong, when she heard a girl next to her ask, "Hey, what are you eating?" Did you send out the gift?"
Looking at the date earlier, she actually noticed that today is Lu Chen's birthday.
But the two of them had such a deep entanglement in their previous life, but not in this life. Lu Chen's affection for her was only at the beginning stage.
Her wechat message sent over, basically made the two of them not even have to be friends.
After thinking about it, she didn't even think about preparing gifts.
It was somewhat embarrassing to hear someone ask.
Ruan Yue turned her head and was about to answer, but heard another girl walking over say, "Haha, I'm a little ashamed, I feel like I can't send it out."
I didn't ask her...
Ruan Yue turned her head and stared at more than a dozen small cakes.
The two girls next to them are also choosing things, because they are not in their class, and they have no scruples at all when they talk—
"It's just a belt, what a shame!"
"The belt has a meaning, isn't it meant to tie you up for the rest of your life? It would be too embarrassing for him to think that I like him."
"My God, don't you like others, why are you pretending to be innocent?!"
"I feel like he is difficult to deal with, but he is so handsome!"
"Don't you just like this kind of difficult boy, what do you say that he is very strong at first glance, with super sexy lips, super good-looking fingers, wide shoulders and thin waist, long legs and hips!"
"Damn, don't say it, okay, do you hate it or not!"
After taking the things, the two girls pushed and shoved away.
…
at the table.
Cheng Xiao was pouring a drink when she looked up and saw Ruan Yue coming with a plate. She glanced up and laughed, "Oh my God, you are feeding the cat. You took such a small amount in half a day, it's not enough for me to stuff my teeth."
Ruan Yue froze for a moment, "Then I'll get it."
"Forget it, sit down, I'll get it."
When the words fell to the ground, Cheng Xiao left in a hurry.
Because they were pulled in temporarily, the four of them didn't go to the center, but occupied a table for four in the corner, and left after thinking about eating.
Compared with them, Lu Chen's side was much more lively. A dozen or so people shared two tables. Before they had much food, there was a long queue of cans of beer.
Fu Zhixing and Meng Hao had always been good students in school, and they were basically two distinct types of people like Lu Chen. Hearing the commotion nearby, Meng Hao gave a dry laugh, and whispered to Fu Zhixing: "There were so many people outside just now, it's not good to refute his face, after all, it's his birthday. Besides, he seemed to like Ruan Yue before, when he saw you It's normal to be unhappy together."
"It's okay, you can eat."
Fu Zhixing smiled, ignoring the trace of displeasure in his heart.
At this moment, Li Shiyu walked over with a can of beer, looked at Fu Zhixing and said with a smile, "I was just outside, Brother Shen, let me just make a joke, just listen to it and pass by, don't take it to heart."
When the words fell, he handed out the can with one hand, "How about touching one?"
Fu Zhixing took a bottle of mineral water, "I'm allergic to alcohol, so I can't drink it."
"Isn't that interesting enough?"
Li Shiyu had a look of disbelief, "I haven't drunk it yet, so I'm allergic to alcohol. I've grown up and I haven't heard of anyone who can't drink. Don't worry, I'll send you back when you're drunk."
"He really can't drink."
Ruan Yue stood up while speaking, and smiled at Li Shiyu, "He is indeed allergic to alcohol, and he will be hospitalized if he drinks a little."
"Is it true or not?"
Li Shiyu leaned back exaggeratedly, held a can of beer, looked at Ruan Yue and said, "You will be hospitalized if you drink a little wine? Ruan sister, you don't bring such a thing?"
He smiled delicately, "This is the first time I've seen you defend people like this."
Staring at him in a daze, Ruan Yue finally realized that he was helping Lu Chen.
It seems that it was the same in the previous life. His group of friends didn't like her very much.
Occasionally when he talks to people or plays games, someone over there will ask: "Hey, it's time to go online, where is your little fairy, are you allowed to be so depraved?"
Sometimes just talking, a group of people laugh in the voice.
Ruan Yue fell silent.
Li Shiyu actually couldn't bear to face her.
In the eyes of their group of boys, Ruan Yue has always been like a cold goddess. At the beginning of school, let alone other people, she and her deskmate couldn't speak a few words in a day.
But it's just that she doesn't care about people at all, and she doesn't make people annoying. If you choose a class flower, half of the boys will vote for her directly.
As for Lu Chen.
Make him feel so uncomfortable.
You said that since there is a bamboo horse, you should establish the relationship as soon as possible, let everyone know that you have someone who is famous, and you won't be eager to chase after him.
It's good now, his Brother Shen has dedicated half a semester solicitously, but it's useless.
Holding the beer can, Li Shiyu wandered depressedly for a while, then raised his eyes, and looked at the snow-white and delicate face of the girl opposite, feeling inexplicably losing his temper again.
Ruan Yue has a pair of clear black and white eyes like a child's. When she looks at you with these eyes, she can soften your heart without even talking.
Seeing her stand out, Cheng Xiao also stood up to help, "People say that you are allergic to alcohol, so it's boring if you don't give up, you really want to throw her down and go to the hospital?"
"Ruan Yue."
Fu Zhixing took her hand and pointed to the seat with his chin, "Sit down and eat."
"Shi Yu."
In the distance, Lu Chen called, "Come here."
Li Shiyu grinned, turned and left.
After Ruan Yue sat down, she checked the time with her mobile phone.
Fu Zhixing next to him also had no appetite, so he put down his chopsticks and approached her, and asked in a low voice, "Do you not want to eat this? Then I will take you out."
It was already ugly to be pushed and shoved in just now, Ruan Yue didn't want to make the atmosphere worse, after all, Lu Chen's birthday only happens once a year, just sit like this for a while, and the time will pass.
She smiled at Fu Zhixing, "No, I'm just not very hungry, and I ate quite late in the morning."
Fu Zhixing thought for a while, then patted her hand, and said nothing.
Two tables away, Lu Chen and his group were sitting obliquely to them. From where he was sitting, he could just see Ruan Yue out of the corner of his eye. Seeing the scene where Fu Zhixing patted her hand, Lu Chen sneered, lowered his head, picked up a can of beer on the table and drank it directly.
How else can this good student be so annoying.
He obviously didn't want to come, but he couldn't stand the provocation, and couldn't save face, so he was pushed by a group of people to suffer. If I can't eat, I'm too embarrassed to leave. I'm bored.
"Brother Shen is refreshing with this wine, come, come, come, have another one."
Seeing him drinking cans after cans of wine, the crowd next to him was booing and cheering. Before the meal was finished, several of them passed out from drinking.
I felt that eating and drinking was not enough energy, and after a while, someone called again to play truth or dare.
Because the seats were spread out, no one on Ruan Yue's side was playing, and only a dozen or so people were playing at Lu Chen's big table.
"Haha, let me see—"
"How about a public French kiss?"
"Ah, Qin Zheng, you hate it!"
A slightly shrill female voice sounded, and the people at several tables in the whole area became lively.
Ruan Yue felt that the voice sounded familiar, and just turned her head to look at it, when she heard Cheng Xiao say in her ear: "It seems to be Wei Shujuan, she is quite famous in school."
Ruan Yue hadn't heard of it.
Seeing her bewildered face, Cheng Xiao explained, "Dancing is good, but she's not a special student. She should take tuition this year. At the graduation ceremony of her third year of high school last year, she seemed to dance tango with a boy or something. She was very popular. Spicy, the screams overturned the auditorium, hehe, I sneaked in to see."
Ruan Yue nodded, as understanding.
like…
It was the girl who was going to give Lu Chen the belt before.
She was thinking wildly, took a sip of the drink next to her, and heard a group of people over there start applauding, applauding and booing, shouting, "Hurry up, hurry up, don't get inked, my Brother Shen is ready."
"Hahaha, no, no, no, no, just break up and then separate, what kind of kiss is this!"
Li Shiyu's voice was really noisy.
Ruan Yue turned her head subconsciously, and across a circle of figures, she met the straight line of sight of him who stood up.
Beside him, Lu Chen cupped the back of the head of the girl who was leaning towards him with one hand, bowed his head, and covered her.
…
Three o'clock in the afternoon.
The traffic on the fifth floor of the shopping mall is much smaller.
Lu Chen came out of the bathroom, lowered his head, and rubbed his hands under the warm water.
Li Shiyu was beside him, washing his hands and laughing, "Isn't your breath beautiful today? You didn't see it, but when you and Wei Shujuan kissed each other, Ruan Yue's expression was, tsk tsk."
Lu Chen didn't raise his head, "Shut your mouth."
After finishing speaking, he turned his head and pulled two pieces of paper from the tissue box next to him. While wiping his hands, he looked in the mirror and found a red mark on the corner of his lips.
Lifting his hand, he took the paper and wiped it vigorously twice.
The red mark was gone, but the corners of his lips became redder because of his strength.
He couldn't tell what emotion was in his heart, he was very irritable, and he crumpled up the tissue and threw it away. He didn't wait for Li Shiyu, and stepped out of the washing area.
By the wall outside, Wei Shujuan held a small bag and waited for a long time, when she raised her eyes and saw him striding out of the bathroom, she quickly called out with a smile: "Lu Chen?"
Lu Chen looked at her and stopped.
Wei Shujuan went up to greet her, and handed out the gift with both hands, "For you, there were so many people just now, I haven't found a chance to give it to you."
"Thanks."
Lu Chen raised his hand to pick up the things.
Wei Shujuan's eyes fell on the corner of his mouth, she pursed her lips for a moment and thought, and said softly, "I'm sorry, I put on lip gloss when I went out this morning."
"fine."
Responding casually, Lu Chen stepped forward to leave.
"Why."
Wei Shujuan called him again, and asked tentatively, "What do you usually do when you are on vacation? I heard from Qin Zheng and the others that you are very good at crossing the line of fire, and you are also very good at billiards. I am very interested in these two. You Can you take me with you?"
"I don't play much anymore, you can find someone else."
His face was cold and impatient.
It is clear that it was not like this during the meal just now.
Although it was a game she initiated on her own initiative, it took less than an hour to complete the game.
Thinking of that fleeting kiss, Wei Shujuan felt her heart tremble, followed his footsteps and asked, "Why are you suddenly in a bad mood, are you okay?"
He ran out of patience, stopped and asked her, "Do you have anything else to do?"
"..."
Pursing her lips and looking at him, Wei Shujuan was suddenly speechless when asked.
Isn't she active enough
While she was thinking wildly, Li Shiyu came out in a hurry, saw her, greeted her with a smile, "Stay here to wait for our brother Shen?"
"I-"
Seeing Lu Chenwu leave by himself, Wei Shujuan stomped her feet angrily, "What does he mean?!"
"Brother Shen, it's always like that."
Li Shiyu shrugged, "I'm in a bad mood recently, you understand, don't make him suffer. Don't talk, I'm leaving first."
After saying that, he hurriedly chased after Lu Chen.
Lu Chen took the escalator down the stairs, walking quickly. When he reached the third floor, he glanced down at the small gift bag in his hand.
Should be a belt.
Passing by the trash can, he threw it away.
Li Shiyu chased up from behind, just in time to see this scene, sighed "hey hey", stood beside him and said, "You can give it to me if you don't want it, don't waste people's thoughts and things! Even if we have money, we can’t squander it like this!”
Standing with one hand in his pocket, Lu Chen ignored it.
For some reason, a scene from the past appeared in my mind.
Ruan Yue has the habit of taking a nap.
Even if she rests at home during the holidays, she will take a nap at noon. That day seemed to be a Saturday. After he led the team back, he wanted to sleep when he got home.
Walking to the bed, I saw her curled up hugging the quilt.
The snow-white shoulders were exposed, and the thin lace shoulder straps were looming, and he didn't even have time to take off his shoes, so he bent down to kiss her.
She fell asleep that day, he leaned over to hold her mouth and bit her for a while, and then she moaned a few times, and was so moved by the kiss that she stretched out her hand to pull his belt. He seldom did anything for him, and he kicked him angrily without tearing apart.
With his head raised, Lu Chen covered his mouth and nose with his hands.
A curtain of water splashed down from the center of the mall, and it seemed to splash into his eyes.
