Three days later, the second semester of senior high school officially began.
The seats were temporarily arranged according to the last semester. The classroom was noisy. Zhu Xingyao looked back at Jiang Tu and asked him, "Jiang Tu, two days before New Year's Eve, did you go to Xingyuan Villa? I think I saw you."
Jiang Tu was stunned. He didn't hide it at the time, but he didn't expect that she would see it. He said calmly, "Well, I went for a run."
He didn't wear glasses, and his skin was cold and pale, which made his eyes look dark and deep. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but every time Zhu Xingyao looked at him like this, she felt that his eyes seemed to have a lot of words. She raised her face slightly and smiled: "You are still running in such a cold day."
Jiang Tu lowered his eyes and hummed in a low voice.
On the first Friday of school, Zhu Xingyao received another love letter from classmate J. There was one every Friday. Sometimes when she saw Lu Ji smiling at her in the corridor, she would inexplicably become a little nervous, afraid that others would notice something.
Every time Lu Ji saw her avoiding his gaze, he felt annoyed. He asked Zhou Yuan, "I'm not pestering her, why do I feel like she's avoiding me?"
Zhou Yuan comforted her: "It's okay, maybe she's shy? Or maybe she doesn't want to fall in love too early?"
Lu Ji was silent. He felt that a big reason was that they were not familiar enough with each other, or she didn’t like him that much... He hoped that they could be assigned to the same class in the second year of high school.
In early April, Cao Shujun talked about the division of classes into arts and sciences at a class meeting, asking everyone to think carefully. Jiang Tu and Zhu Xingyao both chose science. Li Xixi hesitated for a long time and followed Zhu Xingyao in choosing science. Before filling out the form, she asked Zhu Xingyao worriedly, "Will my hair fall out faster if I study science?"
Zhu Xingyao smiled: "If you memorize too much, your hair will fall out."
Lin Jiayu was also struggling. She pestered Jiang Tu and asked him many times: "What should I choose?"
Jiang Tu’s answer every time is: “Think for yourself.”
In the end, Lin Jiayu gritted her teeth and chose science.
At the end of April, Zhu Xingyao made a big joke. That weekend morning, she and Li Xixi made an appointment to meet in the square. There were a lot of people in the square at that time, as if they were holding some audition program.
Li Xixi insisted on dragging her to join in the fun, and the two of them were pushed to the front by the crowd, unable to get out. That would have been fine, but there were two tall young men standing in front of them, and they could hardly see the stage.
Li Xixi kept mumbling:
"The sorrow of the dwarf..."
"How can I get to the front?"
"This song "Stubborn" is sung really well, I really want to see it..."
…
Another group of people squeezed in from behind, and Zhu Xingyao felt stuffy. It felt like the air was full of carbon dioxide. With the sunlight getting stronger and stronger, it was hot and dry, making her feel suffocated.
After a while, she couldn't help it anymore and said to Li Xixi, "Let's go out."
Li Xixi looked back, a little desperate: "With so many people, can we get out?"
Zhu Xingyao was also thinking about this problem. They were now squeezed in the middle, blocked in front of the stage in three layers inside and three layers outside. Whether they went forward or backward, they would have to lose a lot of skin to squeeze out.
She thought about it and suddenly had an idea. She raised her hand and patted the boy in front of her.
When the boy turned around and saw her, he was stunned. Zhu Xingyao smiled and asked, "Can you give way? We want to go to the front to sign up for a competition. Can you let us go forward?"
Coincidentally, the two teenagers are both from Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School. Who doesn’t know Zhu Xingyao
The boy was obviously excited when the goddess approached him. He enthusiastically called out to the people in front of him: "Everyone, please help us... make way for this contestant."
He was about to say "goddess", but stopped himself in time.
Everyone looked at Zhu Xingyao. The girl was wearing a long black dress. She had a straight back and a thin body, revealing her delicate collarbone. Her skin was so white that it seemed transparent in the sun. Her facial features were delicate and her smile was pure and beautiful. She was more beautiful than the stars on TV.
Some people subconsciously moved aside and squeezed out a small space.
Is this still possible? Li Xixi was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, everyone, please make way for us, we need to go forward."
Zhu Xingyao stared at the road in a daze, obviously not expecting that the lie would have such a good effect. Before he could think about it, Li Xixi grabbed him and pulled him forward, shouting, "We want to move forward to compete, please make way."
This sentence was quite effective. The onlookers actually squeezed out a narrow and winding path, and all their eyes were on them.
Zhu Xingyao always had a bad feeling, but he didn't show it on his face. He calmly pulled Li Xixi forward.
Behind him, someone asked the boy curiously: "Do you know that girl? She is so pretty. If she can pass the audition, I will vote for her every day."
Someone else said: "Of course you can, you can make it to the finals just by your looks."
The boy said proudly: "She is the goddess of our school. She plays the cello very well and even held a concert."
But, something seems wrong
He scratched his head, his face suddenly stiffened: "She just said she wanted to participate in the competition?"
The enthusiastic crowd also responded: "… "
This seems to be an audition for men instead of women, so how are you goddesses going to participate in the competition in your fairy dresses
…
Zhu Xingyao and Li Xixi walked to the front of the stage and stood behind the judges. They immediately saw the eight big words on the stage background - xx Male Vocal Audition Contest.
She stared at the words in unusual silence.
The staff member faintly heard someone in the back talking about participating in the competition, so he walked over to explain, but saw the crowd surrounding two girls, who were about sixteen or seventeen years old, as if they were watching a show.
He first asked: "Who among you wants to participate?"
When Li Xixi reacted, her face turned red and she stammered, unable to utter a word.
The crowd was watching the fun and pointed at Zhu Xingyao, saying with a smile: "This little beauty."
Zhu Xingyao: “…”
Her face gradually turned red, spreading from her ears to her entire face. She couldn't tell if it was because of the midday sun or because she was shy.
The staff looked at Zhu Xingyao in surprise and said awkwardly: "But we don't choose women, and beautiful ones are no exception."
Zhu Xingyao looked at the camera that was already in front of him, pushed Li Xixi forward a step, and smiled slightly: "It's not me, it's my friend."
Li Xixi has short hair, fair complexion, and a thin body, and most importantly, a flat chest... When she wears a T-shirt and jeans, she is often mistaken for a little boy. Zhu Xingyao tried to get away with it by explaining, "She was too nervous, so forget it," and then slipped away.
but…
The staff member had a pair of fiery eyes and smiled helplessly: "It's not okay for a woman to dress up as a man..."
Zhu Xingyao: “…”
Li Xixi: “…”
The onlookers burst into laughter, which finally attracted the attention of the judges in the front row.
The youngest male judge on the judging panel looked at them with a smile and said, "Girls, come back and sign up when we have a female singing talent show."
Zhu Xingyao and Li Xixi escaped under the eyes of thousands of onlookers and cameras.
The two ran to the awning of a roadside coffee shop, their faces flushed and beads of sweat on their foreheads. They glared at each other, not knowing whose fault it was that made the other so embarrassed.
As he stared, Zhu Xingyao suddenly felt like laughing, and the corners of his mouth curled up.
Li Xixi suddenly started laughing wildly as if a switch was pressed: "Ha, haha, hahahaha! Zhu Xingyao, you have come to this day!"
Who is to blame for this
Zhu Xingyao rolled her eyes at her and said, "If you laugh again, I will ignore you."
Li Xixi wiped her tears and pulled her into the coffee shop, "Come on, I'll buy you some milk tea to apologize."
People gathered in front of the stage. The surrounding shops seemed a little deserted. There were only three or five tables with customers in the coffee shop. Li Xixi stood in front of the counter: "I want a cup of signature milk tea, with more ice."
"Lemonade." Zhu Xingyao hesitated for a moment and added, "Add ice too."
Li Xixi turned to look at her and whispered, "Your period is coming soon, right? You'd better not drink ice water, otherwise you will have a stomachache..." She knew that Zhu Xingyao suffered more during her period. Isn't drinking ice water self-torture
At the counter, the boy wearing a mask in front of the dressing table suddenly turned his head, looked over here, and his eyes paused slightly.
The girl at the cashier asked, "Would you like the lemonade to be iced?"
Zhu Xingyao: “Yes.”
She now needs to drink something cold to cool down the temperature on her face and stimulate her nerves. What happened just now was really embarrassing.
Li Xixi still understood her very well and did not try to stop her.
Five minutes later.
Zhu Xingyao picked up the lemonade on the counter, paused, lowered his head uncertainly to take a sip, frowned and looked up: "Why is it at room temperature?"
The cashier exclaimed, reached out and touched it to confirm, and there was indeed no ice. She turned around and looked at the boy who was facing her sideways. The boy was thin and tall, wearing a mask and washing the machine with his eyes downcast. He was wearing a black baseball cap and no glasses. His eyebrows were distant and indifferent. He lowered his voice and said, "Sorry, I forgot."
Zhu Xingyao felt that the sound was a little familiar. He looked up behind the counter and saw the young man bending over to fix the leaking sink. He only saw the back of a head wearing a baseball cap.
The cashier said apologetically, "Do you need more ice? I'll give you another cup."
Zhu Xingyao retracted his gaze, a little helpless: "Forget it."
Li Xixi handed over her milk tea and said, "Don't be depressed. I'll give you the first sip."
Zhu Xingyao unceremoniously bit the straw and took a big sip of iced milk tea before walking out of the store.
Wait until the two of them are completely far away.
The cashier looked at Jiang Tu in surprise. She remembered that Jiang Tu had an amazing memory and never made a mistake. How could he forget to add ice? But she didn't think much about it and just said, "Fortunately, the beautiful girl didn't make a fuss. Don't make a mistake next time, or you will be fined."
Jiang Tu slowly withdrew his gaze from the door, lowered his head and said, "Well, no more."
In May, the TV station that hosted the show and local TV stations broadcast the grand audition. Zhu Xingyao and Li Xixi stormed in and accidentally entered the audition site, which became a joke.
In the corridor, Zhou Yuan and Xu Xiangyang sang in unison -
Xu Xiangyang: "But we don't choose women, and pretty ones are no exception."
Zhou Yuan: "It's not me, it's my friend."
Xu Xiangyang: "It's not okay for a woman to dress up as a man..."
Zhou Yuan couldn't hold it back any longer, and laughed so hard that his shoulders were shaking: "Hahahahahaha! Holy shit! I'm dying of laughter! That Li Xixi is the worst..."
Xu Xiangyang also laughed: "She is really interesting, even dressed as a man. Isn't she just stunted?"
They laughed so wildly that Li Xixi's face turned red and black. She couldn't help it anymore. She stood up from her seat, picked up a broom from the corner, rushed to the corridor angrily, and glared at them: "Who's still laughing? If you laugh again, I'll beat you up!"
Lu Ji lay on the guardrail and laughed for a while. He saw Zhu Xingyao lying on the table from the back door of Class 7. He thought she was too embarrassed to see people, so he kicked Zhou Yuan and Xu Xiangyang respectively and said, "That's enough. If you laugh again, I'll hit you."
Someone nearby saw this and immediately started whispering, "Who do you think Lu Ji is helping?"
"Nonsense, it must be Zhu Xingyao. Don't you remember him handing her the piano at the party? When Zhu Xingyao passed by, he would always look up. I always felt that he really wanted to be the son-in-law of Class 7..."
"But if it's true, then he's probably the only one in the school who has a chance of wooing the goddess."
"Is he chasing now?"
Lu Ji looked over and the girls immediately shut up.
Li Xixi rolled her eyes towards the corridor and turned back with the broom. She felt her short hair flying up in anger. She sat back in her chair and kept shouting, "I'm so angry, I'm so angry."
Zhu Xingyao turned to look at Jiang Tu and found that even the corners of his mouth were smiling. The sunlight poured in through the window, reflecting his black hair and skin that was whiter than that of most boys. For the first time, she felt that there was some warmth around this young man. She pretended to sigh: "Brother Tu, even you are smiling?"
Jiang Tu continued to smile and asked, "Is it not allowed to laugh?"
Zhu Xingyao: “…”
She looked at him silently and couldn't help covering her face: "Even you, who has always been an iceberg, laughed. It shows that I really made a big joke."
Jiang Tu was stunned. He didn't expect that this was the image of him in her mind. However, personality is hard to change. He was silent for a while and looked at her: "Is the icy face of ten thousand years a derogatory term?"
Zhu Xingyao smiled with crooked eyes: "I said you are cool, I was praising you."
Jiang Tu is a cold and cool classmate.
