Fortunately, Chen Xingze was not isolated by his classmates because of the incident in the auditorium. On the contrary, everyone was very curious about him. Inexplicably, he became an active member of the class, and as a music student, he was appointed by Xie Dingnan as the literary committee member.
When he first entered school, Chen Xingze was full of You Xiaolin. Sitting in the classroom during the day, Chen Xingze couldn't help laughing at the thought that he was only a few classes away from You Xiaolin.
Because of this long and bitter secret love, Chen Xingze's emotional world is much more complicated than other peers.
In order to find a foothold for the mood that has nowhere to put, Chen Xingze developed the habit of reading. Both at home and abroad have watched, from the bloody "Alive" to the peaceful "Walden", from the poignant and sad "Norwegian Forest" to the sleepy "Reminiscence of the Time Is Like Water".
He always felt that if he continued like this, he might be gone on the road of literary youth...
If there is no such person as Lu Hao.
"What are you doing?"
During a break before a gym class, Chen Xingze sat in a daze under the grape trellis on the playground, and Lu Hao ran over to look for him.
Chen Xingze said quietly, "I'm thinking of Zhang Ailing."
He couldn't listen to the last art class, so Chen Xingze flipped through a book about Eileen Chang, in which he read the famous quote that Eileen Chang wrote to Hu Lancheng—
"Seeing him, she became very low, low into the dust. But she was happy in her heart, and flowers bloomed from the dust."
He lamented that these powerful writers and writers could penetrate the hearts of people with just a few words. He could fully understand how she felt when she wrote this sentence, and he regarded her as his confidant in his heart.
"Zhang Ailing?"
"Um."
"How many classes?"
"… "
All the sadness dissipated in an instant. Chen Xingze turned his head, Lu Hao didn't know where to play, his head was covered in sweat, and his enthusiastic body exuded a vigorous and stupid aura.
"Lu Hao."
"Um?"
Chen Xingze said from the bottom of his heart, "Can we read some books?"
"What book?"
Chicken and duck talk. Chen Xingze sighed. Lu Hao asked excitedly, "Are you going to play? Let's take care of those bastards in the third class together! You don't know what happened when you didn't come to Wang Gan and they won two games last time."
Chen Xingze was silent for two seconds, then narrowed his eyes and said, "Are they chattering?"
Lu Hao: "Yeah! If you lose to us at the beginning, you just don't get used to our style of play. If you know us twice, it won't be easy for us."
Chen Xingze grabbed a withered grape leaf from the side, pinched it a few times, and threw it to the ground.
"Pack them up!"
"it is good!"
The two rolled up their sleeves and headed towards the basketball court.
This is how Chen Xingze's road to literary and artistic youth was delayed again and again.
Speaking of Lu Hao, this person is so popular that even Chen Xingze can't match him. Lu Hao's family is rich, but he never puts on a show. He gets along well with the whole class. He is tall and handsome, and he is good at sports. Except for his grades that are a little shabby, he can hardly find any shortcomings.
But even if his grades were close, it didn't matter, Xie Dingnan didn't stare at Lu Hao's grades the way he stared at other students. Later, Chen Xingze inadvertently heard Xie Dingnan say to the teachers of other classes: "Lu Hao's mother has already said hello, and it's enough to keep up with the grades. He is not in the domestic college entrance examination, and his family should have already made arrangements."
Chen Xingze and two other classmates who passed by heard these words at the time. When they went back, they didn't know who spread it out. Later, some cautious people would occasionally say, "What school are you coming to?" Lu Hao didn't care if he heard the words of poverty, bitterness and jealousy, and even smiled and apologized to the person who said these words.
"I'm sorry, my mother insisted on me coming."
Chen Xingze felt that his character must have been cultivated in an extremely happy environment.
However, Lu Hao's carelessness can sometimes make people mad, and Chen Xingze had a fight with him because of this.
Chen Xingze usually has one of the best personalities, but unlike Lu Hao, he has a bottom line that no one can touch - that is You Xiaolin.
The first conversation between him and You Xiaolin in the experimental middle school was initiated by You Xiaolin. After school on the day of the opening ceremony, You Xiaolin was waiting for Chen Xingze at the gate of Class 6.
"I felt as if I saw you at the ceremony just now. I didn't expect it to be you. You also took the test."
In order not to tremble when he spoke, Chen Xingze lowered his voice by an octave.
"I didn't get admitted directly, I'm a music student."
"That's okay, I haven't been in contact for a year before, I thought..." You Xiaolin paused, and Chen Xingze's heart also missed half a beat. The next second, You Xiaolin said, "It turns out that you worked hard, you are smart, and you passed the exam after making up one year of homework."
"It's all said to be a special student."
Chen Xingze was still thinking about the half sentence that You Xiaolin had not finished.
"Even special students don't have low score requirements. It's great that we can go to a high school."
"Um."
"We can see each other more often in the future, and come to the first class to find me if something happens."
They didn't chat a few words, and Lu Hao rushed out of the classroom. "I've finally finished cleaning up, I thought you had already run away! Hey? Who is this, your friend?" Lu Hao smiled at You Xiaolin, "Hello, classmate."
"Hello." You Xiaolin said to Chen Xingze, "Then I'll go first."
Lu Hao: "Let's go together."
Chen Xingze stepped on Lu Hao, but fortunately, You Xiaolin didn't take Lu Hao's invitation seriously and turned to leave.
It stands to reason that with Lu Hao's heartless character, anything that has nothing to do with playing and eating should be done without a trace, and he will forget about it, but he has inexplicably taken care of You Xiaolin's affairs.
Later, Chen Xingze thought that maybe his obsession with You Xiaolin was too obvious, and it was obvious that Lu Hao, who was an idiot, was enlightened.
During a flag-raising ceremony on a Monday, Chen Xingze was scanning You Xiaolin in the distance with his fiery eyes, when he suddenly felt something dark approaching.
Lu Hao was a little taller than Chen Xingze, bending his knees to force a parallel view.
"What are you looking at?"
Chen Xingze pushed him back, and Lu Hao came up again.
"It's that You Xiaolin again."
Chen Xingze ignored him, Lu Hao paused for a while, and said, "I've checked everything out, so don't hide it from me."
Chen Xingze: "Find out what?"
Lu Hao said solemnly: "I asked a class of classmates, You Xiaolin is a poor student, isn't it. The reason you made trouble at the orientation ceremony was to help him, right?"
Chen Xingze chuckled lightly. "I thought you found out something, it's so idle."
Chen Xingze has always felt that love is a very personal matter. Even if there is only a one-way crush, he does not want strangers to intervene.
From the perspective of a bystander, Lu Hao always felt that Chen Xingze was at a loss.
In Lu Hao's subconscious, no matter what Chen Xingze does, he should be as handy as when they first met at the badminton court. He didn't understand why Chen Xingze, who was usually very dashing, became so cautious when facing You Xiaolin.
Chen Xingze has done a lot for You Xiaolin. The previous class was preparing to run for the study committee. Qin Bo and You Xiaolin competed fiercely. Qin Bo bought snacks for his classmates. You Xiaolin didn't know what to do. He didn't have any extra money to buy gifts for teachers and classmates.
After Chen Xingze found out, he brought You Xiaolin a perfume lily every three days and asked him to keep it in a small vase in front of the classroom. At this point, the classrooms were always filled with the refreshing fragrance of flowers, and a few packets of snacks were instantly vulgar compared to them. You Xiaolin was successfully elected to the school committee.
When You Xiaolin wanted to give Chen Xingze money, Chen Xingze told him that it was the rest that the flower shop nearby could not sell.
Only Lu Hao knew that it was actually Chen Xingze who went to many flower shops and finally selected the best quality flowers. The fragrance was different from other lilies, fresh and natural, and it cost more than ten yuan per flower.
But just like the ceremony event that has been gradually forgotten, Chen Xingze didn't tell You Xiaolin anything.
In Lu Hao's view, friendship should not be like this. But what he thought, Chen Xingze didn't know and didn't care.
Soon conflict broke out.
One day after school at noon, Chen Xingze and Lu Hao met You Xiaolin at the entrance of the teaching building. Chen Xingze wanted to ask You Xiaolin to have dinner together, but You Xiaolin refused on the grounds of study.
This is not the first time that Chen Xingze has invited You Xiaolin to dinner, nor is it the first time that You Xiaolin has refused. Originally, Chen Xingze didn't take it seriously and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, Lu Hao didn't know what kind of wind he had, and said to You Xiaolin, "You are so hard to ask."
Before Chen Xingze and You Xiaolin had recovered, Lu Hao said, "Do you know how much he has done for you?"
Chen Xingze was the first to react, pulling Lu Hao away. Chen Xingze charged his head with blood, squeezed Lu Hao's hand with all his strength, pulled it out of the peach forest in one breath, and pushed hard.
"What the fuck did you say?"
Lu Hao didn't show weakness, "Don't let me say anything?"
"Who told you to say this?"
"I see you're angry!"
Chen Xingze narrowed his eyes, and Lu Hao said in a fierce tone, "Friends don't do this!"
Chen Xingze sneered, "Yo, then you teach me how to be friends with people?"
"I did not mean that!"
"Then what do you mean?"
"You know what I mean! Don't talk like that!"
Chen Xingze looked at him coldly, and said after a while, "You don't come to me if you think I'm yin and yang strange." "If you come and go, you can make friends! Everyone owes no one to anyone, so why is it so hot! You put so much effort into buying flowers for him to run for election, and if you ask him to come out for a meal, he will ignore you— "
Chen Xingze stopped suddenly and turned around.
Lu Hao didn't stop the car and almost hit Chen Xingze. Chen Xingze stared at him, his eyes were deep, hiding a lot of things he couldn't understand.
"I didn't want to send him flowers to help him campaign."
Chen Xingze left this sentence and left.
Poor Young Master Lu's brain is completely unable to understand the deep meaning of these words, and he just feels inexplicably uncomfortable. He stood dryly for more than half an hour, forgetting to eat lunch. Finally, the class bell rang, and he scratched his hair as if venting his anger, and went back to the classroom.
