Zhu Xingyao didn't know how Lu Ji could talk to her and smile at her without blushing or beating his heart after taking her first kiss. She slept drowsily for a whole day, and as soon as she opened her eyes, she would think of that warm touch.
When she was reading romance novels with Li Xixi before, she never thought that this would happen when she was unconscious.
But the touch was so real that she knew it was not a dream.
Jiang Tu had no idea that he had caused a misunderstanding. He went straight to find Chen Yi as soon as he came out of the hospital. Chen Yi had been oppressing him for two years and collecting debts for him. He roughly knew where Chen Yi was going. He stood under the sign of Hexi Lane, waiting while recalling the soft and moist touch that could make one's mind collapse.
At around ten o'clock, a taxi stopped at the street corner and Chen Yi got out.
Chen Yi frowned when he saw him. Zhu Yunping called the police last night. The barbecue restaurant had surveillance cameras, but Chen Yi did not push Zhu Xingyao directly. It could only be said to be an accident. The police suggested that they settle the matter privately.
A private settlement would only mean paying money, and Zhu Yunping didn't need that little bit of money, but he used to be a university professor, and he looked down on those shady methods, and he couldn't let this happen a second time, so he wanted Chen Yi to promise to take a detour when he saw Zhu Xingyao next time.
Chen Yi had just come out of the police station and was very tired. He didn't want to meet a tough guy like Jiang Tu. Unexpectedly, Jiang Tu took off his glasses and started fighting right away. The two started fighting at the street corner.
Chen Yi cursed in his heart: Damn it, he really came to fight me to the death.
Finally, Lin Jiayu's father passed by and saw it. He asked someone to help break up the fight. He grabbed Jiang Tu and asked anxiously, "Isn't today the final exam? Why didn't you take the exam?"
"No more exams."
Sweat dripped down Jiang Tu's forehead. He wiped his face, picked up his glasses and put them on.
Chen Yi's face was covered with scars. He got up from the ground in a panic and looked at him panting: "Just wait for me."
Jiang Tu glanced at Chen Yi coldly, then turned and left.
Zhu Xingyao, Jiang Tu and Lu Ji were absent from the final exam.
Zhu Xingyao and Lu Ji were hospitalized. Jiang Tu and Cao Shujun asked for leave because of family accidents. No one knew that he stayed with Zhu Xingyao in the hospital for a whole night.
After the afternoon exam, Cao Shujun and Xie Ya came to the hospital with a group of students to visit Lu Ji. Lu Ji was fine, but his brain was very smart and precious. His family was afraid that something might happen to him, so they forced him to do various tests. He will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow.
So, a group of people crowded into Zhu Xingyao's ward, and Cao Shujun said, "It's good that you're okay. Take a good rest and recover from your injuries."
Li Xixi peeled an apple for Zhu Xingyao, cut it into small pieces and handed it to her, whispering: "There are two people in our class who didn't take the exam, and there is only Lu Ji in their class. The average score is much higher..."
Lao Cao’s date with his girlfriend was ruined again.
Zhu Xingyao leaned on the hospital bed and looked at Cao Shujun apologetically: "I'm sorry, Teacher Cao..."
Xie Ya quickly said, "Don't be sorry. Even if you and Jiang Tu can take the exam normally, you can't score higher than our class. You should have a good rest and don't think too much about these things."
Cao Shujun glanced at Xie Ya and smiled, "I'm almost a senior in high school. There are many exams, big and small. I'll pass them eventually. I'm not in a hurry."
"You should have some dignity in front of your students." Xie Ya couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Everyone laughed.
The nurse pushed the door open and reminded: "Keep your voice down, the patient needs to rest quietly."
In the evening, Lin Jiayu came back from the hospital and went to Jiang Tu's house. Shu Xian opened the door for her. Jiang Lu had not come back yet. Jiang Jinhui was not at home as usual. Shu Xian didn't know what happened last night. She only heard from Lin's father that Jiang Tu had a fight with Chen Yi and had not gone to take the exam yet.
She asked Lin Jiayu worriedly, "Why would Jiang Tu take the initiative to provoke Chen Yi? And even fight with him in the street?"
Lin Jiayu was stunned for a moment. She looked at Jiang Tu's door and said, "Aunt Shu, I'll go see Jiang Tu..."
"Go ahead and help me persuade him." Shu Xian sighed.
Lin Jiayu went to knock on the door. After a few seconds, the door opened with a click. The room smelled a bit strong of cigarette smoke. Jiang Tu turned around and sat back in the chair with a cigarette between his fingertips. He was not wearing glasses. He lowered his eyes and brought the cigarette to his lips. He looked very indifferent.
"We went to see Zhu Xingyao after the exam. She woke up and was in good spirits. She was said to be discharged from the hospital in a few days." Lin Jiayu stood beside the desk, chattering non-stop, "You, her, and Lu Ji didn't take the exam. Your class average score was lower again, and Teacher Cao was rejected by Teacher Xie again..."
Jiang Tu didn't say anything.
Lin Jiayu looked at him and whispered, "You... don't you go see her? She won't blame you. Don't take the responsibility on yourself."
Jiang Tu finally looked up at her, his eyes were bloodshot and he had a hint of self-loathing. It was obvious that he hadn't slept all night. He said in a low and hoarse voice, "Just because she doesn't blame me doesn't mean I don't have any responsibility."
Two days later, summer vacation officially started. Before summer vacation, the second grade held a meeting, focusing on summer tutoring and the start of evening self-study in the third grade. School remedial classes started twenty days in advance, and after school officially started, evening self-study lasted until ten o'clock every night.
At eight o'clock in the morning on the first day of the holiday, Jiang Tu had just walked out of Hexi Lane when he received a text message from Zhu Xingyao.
Zhu Xingyao: "Brother Tu, what happened that day was an accident. Don't blame yourself. I will be discharged from the hospital in two days. I will go to Beijing and will not be back until the end of August."
Zhu Xingyao: "Xixi and the others said they would come to see me tonight, are you coming too?"
Many times, Jiang Tu couldn't refuse her, and he wouldn't stay away from her on purpose, at least not during the remaining year of high school, because he didn't know how long it would take for him to see her again after graduating from high school.
The early morning sunlight was thin and shining on the mottled red brick wall. He stood by the wall and lowered his head to reply to her: "Okay."
After the sunset, pedestrians hurried in front of the hospital. A few students were standing in front of the nearby fruit shops. Jiang Tu crossed the road in the twilight and walked in front of them. Lu Ji was holding a few bags of fruit and talking to Xu Xiangyang about going to Beijing to watch the Olympics in August.
Jiang Tu glanced at them and said, "Let's go."
Lu Ji nodded, and the group walked into the hospital. Xu Xiangyang lowered his head and asked Li Xixi: "Will you go with us? I will help you book the tickets when the time comes."
Li Xixi looked up at him. Xu Xiangyang had a handsome and sunny appearance. He was used to being a class monitor and always acted like a leader. But she knew that Xu Xiangyang said he helped her book the ticket because... he was pursuing her. On her birthday, he held the guitar and wanted to play Jay Chou's songs for her.
She lowered her head and whispered, "Let me think about it."
Lu Ji turned around and said, "Isn't Zhu Xingyao in Beijing? You can go find her when you get there."
Lin Jiayu subconsciously turned her head to look at Jiang Tu, who looked calm. Li Xixi ran over and grabbed Lin Jiayu, "Do you want to go?"
"I'm not going..."
Lin Jiayu hurriedly shook her head. How could she have the money to go to Beijing for fun
A few minutes later, Jiang Tu stopped at the door of the ward. The giggling of a little girl came from the ward. He looked inside from the small window on the door. An extra bed was added to the single room where Zhu Xingyao originally lived, and a little girl of seven or eight years old moved in.
The little girl's parents were putting up a few strings of star lights on her bedside. The lights flickered, adding some color to the pale ward. The little girl tilted her head and asked, "Sister, look at my star lights. Are they beautiful?"
Zhu Xingyao said in a soft voice: "It's beautiful."
The little girl giggled and said, "Then ask Dr. Ding to buy it for us too."
Jiang Tu lowered his eyes, turned the door, and heard Zhu Xingyao mutter, "I'm this old..." She suddenly turned her head to look at the door, and saw Jiang Tu inexplicably relieved, and smiled happily, "You're here!"
"Huh? Why is there a new kid?" Li Xixi asked curiously.
Zhu Xingyao looked at Jiang Tu, who looked as cold as ever, and explained, "The hospital wards are quite tight during the summer vacation. She is my mother's patient and is temporarily arranged here. Anyway, I will be discharged in two days."
The little girl was very polite and said, "Hello, brother and sister."
Lu Ji put the fruit on the table and asked Zhu Xingyao, "Do you want some grapes?"
Zhu Xingyao looked up at him, then lowered her head and whispered, "Okay."
Lu Ji came to see her every day these days, but never mentioned the secret kiss. Zhu Xingyao always felt depressed when she thought about it. Later, she thought about the drawer full of love letters and felt that Lu Ji liked her too much.
Finally, she remembered that Lu Ji used his body to block those things for her, and she could forgive him for kissing her without consent. However, every time she saw Lu Ji's frank and straightforward eyes, her heart was always filled with an indescribable emotion.
What is the reason for this
Lu Ji went to wash the grapes, and Li Xixi laughed beside him: "Lord Lu is becoming more and more considerate, except for..."
Zhou Yuan quickly replied: "All I need is a title!"
Jiang Tu, who had been silent all the time, suddenly looked up at her. Zhu Xingyao met his dark eyes as soon as she looked up. Suddenly, all the lights in the ward went out. The little girl got off the bed at some point, ran to the door and turned off the switch.
In an instant, the only light in the dim ward was the twinkling star-like light from the bed next to mine. The firefly-like light reflected on everyone's face, making even their expressions a little blurry, but the atmosphere was unexpectedly good.
The little girl clapped her hands happily: "How beautiful!"
Her mother hurried over to hold her daughter and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I'll turn on the light right away."
"No need to open it, just leave it like this, it's very beautiful." Zhu Xingyao turned her head to take a look, then looked up at the empty ceiling above her head. It was a bit dark and deserted on her side, and she couldn't help pouting.
Jiang Tu looked at her and pulled Lin Jiayu aside. As soon as the two left, the light shone over.
Her eyes lit up instantly, and she looked up and smiled at him: "That's much better, you sit down..." Thinking that there were only a few chairs in the ward, there was no room for them to sit down, she changed the topic and said, "Come over here, it will feel like a night chat."
Jiang Tu saw the joy in her eyes and tilted his head to glance at the strings of twinkling star lights.
Lu Ji heard it clearly in the bathroom. He came out with a fruit plate and glanced over there, then turned back to Zhu Xingyao. Status... He also wanted a status.
He placed the fruit plate in front of Zhu Xingyao and looked down at her: "The make-up classes will start on August 10th. When will you come back from Beijing?"
Because of the hospitalization, the courses in Beijing were delayed. Fortunately, Teacher Chen Lan has been in Beijing recently. He said it didn’t matter if the courses were delayed for a few days. Her personal concert was scheduled in October, and she would record a personal performance video by the way.
Zhu Xingyao was afraid that Jiang Tu would feel guilty, so she thought for a moment before saying, "I might have to take a few days off."
"They said they were going to Beijing to watch the Olympics!" Li Xixi shouted. She glanced at Xu Xiangyang and said, "I'm going too. Xu Xiangyang said he would book a plane ticket for me."
"Ah, really?" Zhu Xingyao was a little happy, "Then you can come and play with me."
She seemed to have misunderstood and thought everyone was going.
Jiang Tu said calmly: "Lin Jiayu and I are not going."
Zhu Xingyao was stunned for a moment, then quickly laughed: "It's okay, I'll be back soon."
The visiting hours in the hospital cannot exceed 10 o'clock. At around 9 o'clock, they stood up and prepared to leave. Zhu Xingyao suddenly called out to Jiang Tu, who was walking at the end, "Brother Tu."
Jiang Tu paused and turned back to look at her.
The dim light illuminated her soft smiling face: "You didn't say much all night, I was afraid you were thinking too much, I'm really fine." She got off the bed and walked in front of him, "I'll take you to the door."
He remained motionless, looking at her silently, and said softly: "Will it leave a scar?"
Zhu Xingyao was stunned and touched the gauze on her head. A small piece of hair there was shaved and a few stitches were done. Fortunately, her hair was black and thick, so it could not be seen when she let it down. But she had never had a scar since she was a child. This was the first one.
She thought about it, looked up and blinked: "It's okay, I can't see."
Who would peel off her scalp and look at it!
Jiang Tu's Adam's apple rolled, but he didn't ask her if it hurt.
It still hurts even if you can't see it, and there will be a scar. At least it will always be a scar in his heart.
In early July, Zhu Xingyao went to Beijing, and Jiang Tu had a crazy yet beautiful idea in his heart. After meeting Zhu Xingyao, he seemed to always go back and forth between the two extremes of rationality and madness.
At 8 o'clock in the evening on August 8, 2008, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games officially began. Lin Jiayu squeezed into Jiang Tu's house and watched the opening ceremony with the two brothers. After seeing the Olympic flame lit, Jiang Tu got up and went back to his room.
During the summer vacation, Lin's father bought Lin Jiayu a desktop computer, but the network in Hexi Lane was very poor, and it took her a long time to browse the web, but she could chat on QQ.
Jiang Tu has been very busy lately, working many jobs. Jiang Lu said he went into his room as soon as he got home, and no one knew what he was doing. She remembered the photos Zhou Yuan and the others had posted on their social media and group chats in the afternoon, and ran to knock on the door.
A few seconds later, Jiang Tu opened the door and looked at her impatiently: "What are you doing?"
"Have you been online? Zhu Xingyao and the others are having a great time in Beijing, and Li Xixi has posted a lot of photos on his profile..." Lin Jiayu peeked through the crack and saw a bunch of tiny wires, various tools, and even a book lying on the floor of his room. She peeked and muttered, "Wow, what are you doing?"
"Nothing."
Jiang Tu pushed her head rudely and pushed her out.
"Hey hey!" Lin Jiayu struggled to protest, but it was useless. The moment the door was sealed, she vaguely saw a few strings of stars hanging on the wall. She frowned and tried hard to think, but still couldn't figure out what he was doing.
Two days later, the senior high school students officially returned to school for make-up classes.
On the first morning, Li Xixi's desk was moved away by Xu Xiangyang. She stood there and stomped her feet: "Xu Xiangyang, I didn't agree to sit at the same table with you!"
Xu Xiangyang was busy moving tables. He turned to look at her and said unceremoniously, "Li Xixi, you did so badly on the test. I was kind enough to help you with your studies, but you didn't want to? Do you still want to take the test to go to Beijing? Do you want to earn an average score for the class?"
When we were in Beijing two days ago, Li Xixi vowed to take the exam to go to Beijing.
Everyone else turned around to watch the show, and someone laughed and shouted, "Squad leader, I suspect you are using your power for personal gain!"
Xu Xiangyang smiled, "Then you are wrong, everything is for the class."
Li Xixi glanced at him and said hesitantly, "What about the stars?"
Xu Xiangyang said: "Didn't she take a leave? You can move back when she comes back."
It turns out that both teenage boys and mature men can be emotional cheaters.
On August 25, Zhu Xingyao returned to school for classes, but Xu Xiangyang refused to let her go: "You can't leave until the class average score exceeds Class 2."
Li Xixi wanted to slap him to death. She raised her foot to kick him: "You don't keep your word!"
Zhu Xingyao stood between two desks, glanced at the male classmate whom he was not familiar with, and then saw Li Xixi blushing and trying to move the desk, so he hurriedly said, "No need to move, I'll just sit here."
Previously in Beijing, they visited Tsinghua University, and Xu Xiangyang confessed his love to Li Xixi again. Li Xixi was not forgiving in words, but she must have liked Xu Xiangyang in her heart, otherwise she would not have moved in to sit at the same table with him.
Li Xixi stopped what she was doing, glanced around the class, and then her eyes suddenly turned to Jiang Tu and Ding Xiang. She walked over and patted Ding Xiang, "You go sit in the front, and let Xingxing sit here."
Ding Xiang was driven away just like that.
Jiang Tu silently watched Li Xixi forcing Ding Xiang to change tables, his expression was a bit complicated. He didn't know whether he should sigh that he hid it too well, or thank Li Xixi for being short-sighted. He was the one who had the greatest intentions towards Zhu Xingyao.
The sound of the desks moving was a bit harsh. Zhu Xingyao stood beside him in a daze. Ding Xiang cried with a sad face, "Li Xixi is simply crazy. Brother Tu and I have been deskmates for two years. What right do you have to break us up?"
He cried out more unfairly than Dou E!
Zhu Xingyao came back to his senses, feeling a little amused and helpless, and said to Li Xixi: "Forget it, let's not change it. Look, Ding Xiang is about to cry."
Ding Xiang had just moved Zhu Xingyao's desk when Jiang Tu suddenly stood up, took it, and with an effort of force, her desk was already merged with his, as if fate had twisted the fate of the two people, bringing them closer together and locking them together a little more.
Jiang Tu turned around and looked at her calmly: "Okay, now you and Li Xixi sit side by side in a row."
In fact, only he knows how much selfishness there is.
Zhu Xingyao subconsciously looked up at her classmates. She saw Xia Jin glaring at her with wide eyes and saw Zhang Sheng's somewhat angry expression. She didn't pull out a chair and sit down until the first bell rang. Her mood was a little indescribable.
In this Chinese class, she sorted out her books somewhat stiffly and took out the Chinese textbook.
After class, Jiang Tu turned around and asked out of the blue, "Don't you want to sit at the same table with me?"
Zhu Xingyao quickly shook her head: "No! I just..." She muttered quietly, "I'm not used to sitting at the same table with boys."
Jiang Tu was silent.
Zhu Xingyao rolled her eyes, and her gaze suddenly paused, landing on the boy's slender neck. There were two or three red marks on the side of his neck, as if it had been scratched by something, and the broken skin was bleeding a little. There was a Band-Aid in the middle. She looked at the Band-Aid, frowned and asked, "You... Did Chen Yi cause you trouble again?"
Before, Zhu Yunping was afraid that she would have psychological trauma, so he specifically told her that Chen Yi would not bother her again and would avoid her when he saw her in the future. However, Jiang Tu's family situation was too complicated. The fundamental reason was that Jiang Tu's father was a gambler. It was someone else's family affair and he had no way of interfering.
Jiang Tu was stunned, and rubbed his neck with his hand, saying calmly: "No."
Zhu Xingyao didn't believe it. She curled her lips and said, "Then how did you get injured?"
I was accidentally scratched by a branch.
He put his hand down, obviously not wanting to mention it, "I scratched it by accident."
"Tell me the truth. I was also hurt by Chen Yi. We were in trouble together." Zhu Xingyao puffed up his cheeks and complained in a low voice, "You are like this. You always take care of everything by yourself..."
You are only eighteen or nineteen years old, and still a senior high school student.
What if something really happens and affects the college entrance examination
Jiang Tu couldn't tell the truth. He looked at her in silence for a while, and suddenly laughed. Zhu Xingyao was inexplicably amused by his laughter. She looked up and glared at him. He was still laughing. She was very serious, okay? She said anxiously, "What are you laughing at?"
Jiang Tu's mouth curled up and he turned back, "Nothing."
Zhu Xingyao: “…”
The hardest mouth to pry open in the world must be Jiang Tu’s. She snorted and turned back to memorizing German words.
After school at noon, several people went downstairs to eat together. Lu Ji found out that Zhu Xingyao and Jiang Tu were deskmates. He was stunned. After hearing the whole story, he grabbed Xu Xiangyang from behind and frowned at him: "Are you fucking sick? If you want to sit at the same table with Li Xixi, then sit at the same table with her, but why did you make Zhu Xingyao Jiang Tu's deskmate?"
Zhu Xingyao and Li Xixi looked back and saw Lu Ji's impatient expression. They were stunned for a moment and asked Li Xixi: "Are they arguing?"
Li Xixi was also confused and shook her head and said, "I don't know!"
Xu Xiangyang was also startled by Lu Ji's sudden impatience. He couldn't help but laugh and said calmly, "There's nothing we can do about it. There aren't many girls in the class and the seats are fixed. Li Xixi thinks Jiang Tu is a little safer..."
Lu Ji sneered and fell silent again, "Forget it."
Zhou Yuan ran over and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lu Ji didn't say anything. He looked up at Zhu Xingyao and strode over.
During the evening self-study, Lin Jiayu heard Zhou Yuan saying something about birthday confession in front of Lu Ji when no one was paying attention. Lu Ji kicked him away and told him to shut up. After Zhou Yuan left, Lin Jiayu turned to look at Lu Ji blankly and asked in a low voice: "Do you want to... confess to Zhu Xingyao?"
Lu Ji glanced at her and smiled lazily: "Yes, keep it a secret."
Lin Jiayu's heart sank. She bit her lip and turned back, continuing to do her math problems. She was no longer thinking about it. She was thinking, if Lu Ji succeeded in his confession, then... what about Jiang Tu? Just watch
After a while.
Lu Ji couldn't help but pull over her question bank and laughed at her, "How can you get such a simple question wrong? What did you learn in the past two years?"
Lin Jiayu: “…”
She felt like cursing.
Usually during the last evening self-study session, Lao Cao would come and check on the students once and then leave. Jiang Tu would skip class after he left. He didn’t even take his schoolbag with him. The next morning, he slept on the table all morning. The teacher always turned a blind eye to top students like him.
Zhu Xingyao thought he was just going to work and didn't ask any more questions.
Her birthday was August 29th, and classmate J's Friday love letter did not appear that day. She searched through the books at her seat but could not find it. It had been almost two years, and the love letter that had appeared every Friday suddenly disappeared. She was a little uncomfortable.
In the afternoon, she and Li Xixi went to the store to buy soy milk and snacks and talked about this matter.
Li Xixi turned to look at her and said mysteriously, "I'm telling you, you have to be prepared tonight. Maybe the love letter will arrive tonight."
Zhu Xingyao's heart skipped a beat, and she asked nervously, "What preparations?"
"I heard that Lu Ji might be doing something tonight."
"ah… "
"He wants a name."
"… "
Because of that sentence, Zhu Xingyao was absent-minded the whole day, and was very nervous and worried because she didn't know what Lu Ji was going to do. In the evening, a group of people, including Jiang Tu, celebrated her birthday together at a barbecue restaurant at the school gate.
Because I have to study in the evening, I can't go far.
They both drank a little wine. Tonight, Jiang Tu's eyes were a little warmer than usual, not so cold. He said happy birthday to her.
After the meal, Lu Ji insisted on paying the bill.
A group of people walked into the school. Since they moved to the senior high school building, senior high school students had to pass through a forest every day when going to and from school. Lu Ji walked beside Zhu Xingyao. He stopped at the end of the forest and looked down at her: "Will you wait for me here after self-study tonight?"
During the evening self-study, Zhu Xingyao's nerves were tense. She didn't know what she was nervous about or panicking about. She turned her head to look at Jiang Tu's profile. He seemed to be in a bad mood. There was no expression on his face. He looked very indifferent, and even his jawline was tense.
That emotion infected Zhu Xingyao, like a double torture, she wrote a sentence on her notebook and handed it over: What's wrong with you? Is there something wrong at home
Jiang Tu didn't move, he lowered his eyes to look at her beautiful and neat handwriting, and remembered what Lin Jiayu had said to him before, "Lu Ji seems to be confessing his love to Zhu Xingyao tonight."
For a moment, Zhu Xingyao felt that he was completely still.
After a while, he picked up the pen and wrote on the paper: It's okay.
She tilted her head to look at him.
After a few seconds, he wrote another sentence: It's really okay.
The writing was so forceful that it almost penetrated the paper.
The notebook was back in front of her, and the bell rang. Jiang Tu suddenly stood up and pulled out his schoolbag from the desk. Zhu Xingyao sat on the chair and looked up at him. He was already 1.86 meters tall, and it was a bit difficult for her to look up at him. She asked in a low voice: "There is still one class before school ends. Are you... going to skip class again?"
Jiang Tu looked down into her eyes, wanting to say a lot of things but unable to. Finally, he suppressed his emotions and squeezed out two words, "work", and turned and left.
His lonely figure quickly disappeared at the door.
Zhu Xingyao withdrew her gaze, but the doubly tense emotion did not subside at all. She wrote a word and then looked at the time on her watch. She wanted the get out of class to end quickly.
After the self-study class, Zhu Xingyao and Li Xixi walked downstairs in the noisy crowd. Li Xixi seemed to be able to sense her nervousness and comforted her, "Don't think too much. A life without premature love is incomplete. Lu Ji doesn't care whether you go abroad after graduating from high school, so what are you afraid of..."
Li Xixi, who seized the time in her senior year of high school and had a sunset romance, talked non-stop seriously.
There were no stars or moon tonight, and the campus was quieter than usual. The closer to the woods, the darker the light. The dim light and shadows illuminated the students passing by in school uniforms. Zhu Xing looked over there from a distance, but did not see Lu Ji's tall and thin figure.
Her heart was in her throat and she wasn't listening carefully to what Li Xixi was saying. She didn't even notice Lin Jiayu running up from behind her.
What happened next was a scene that Zhu Xingyao would never forget. She stepped into the woods, and as soon as her toes touched the stone pavement on the path, it was as if she had stepped on a switch, and the whole woods suddenly lit up.
Everyone seemed to be suddenly stopped in their tracks, and all looked up at the lush branches above their heads. The originally lush green branches were now dotted with star-shaped lights of all sizes.
There were stars like this hanging on every big tree in the whole forest. The scene was like a huge meteor shower suddenly fell from the sky. All the stars fell on the trees, making the night extremely unreal and romantic.
Zhu Xingyao stood there in a daze, looking up in shock, staring at the starry sky with wide eyes, his heart pounding and even his blood feeling hot.
The mottled light illuminated her fair and pretty face. All kinds of emotions filled her chest. For some reason, she suddenly felt like crying.
The light still illuminated everyone's face, shocked, envious, unbelievable...
When everyone came to their senses, they all exclaimed "Wow" and soon started talking excitedly -
"Oh my god, who the hell did this? If senior Song Yi hadn't graduated, I would have thought he did it!"
"He graduated! It can't be him! Who else could it be? So awesome, making such a big fuss, it must be a confession!"
"Who is it? I didn't see who it was. I saw Zhu Xingyao. Was it done for her?"
…
Zhu Xingyao bit her lip hard, turned around and saw Lu Ji walking out from the side. He was holding a box in his hand, but suddenly he lowered his hand and put it behind his back. He pursed his lips and looked at her straight.
After a few seconds, he looked up at the night sky illuminated by star lights.
Li Xixi was beside her, she was so shocked that she stuttered, she stammered: "Lord Lu... this movement... is simply shocking the universe, other people's marriage proposals are not so big, right? It's too, too, too crazy!!!"
This is so crazy!
This is also Zhu Xingyao’s only thought at this moment.
Suddenly, Director Liu roared from behind: "What are you doing over there! What are you doing! What's going on! Huh? What's going on!"
No one knew who started it, but they suddenly started running. Li Xixi reacted, grabbed Zhu Xingyao and ran away. Wouldn't the culprit be waiting to die here? Zhu Xingyao ran to Lu Ji and stopped for a moment.
Lu Ji pursed his lips, suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled her to run.
Zhu Xingyao ran so hard that her legs became weak. If Lu Ji hadn't held her, she would have fallen.
The schoolbag hit her back again and again, just like the pounding of her heartbeat.
The whole forest was in chaos, with screams and laughter. Director Liu was so angry that he wanted to catch everyone and give them a good beating, but after a while, most of them ran away.
They ran out of the woods and the star lights were still on.
Zhu Xingyao stood outside the forest of lights, and suddenly looked up and smiled at Lu Ji, her eyes incredibly bright. She could not have imagined that there would be such a crazy moment in her life at the age of seventeen.
Lu Ji pursed his lips and smiled slightly. He walked around behind her, opened her schoolbag, stuffed the box in it, and whispered above her head, "Happy birthday, Xingyao. I hope you like this gift."
Zhu Xingyao turned to look at him blankly, but couldn't see his expression clearly. She quickly said, "I like it. I like it very much."
He zipped up his pants, took a step forward, and looked down at her, "Let's go, Director Liu is coming."
Lu Ji walked in front, their shadows lengthened by the street lights. Zhu Xingyao looked back, and the lights suddenly went out. Lu Ji's cell phone kept ringing in his pocket. It was Zhou Yuan calling. He lowered his eyes and answered.
Zhou Yuan was stunned and shouted: "Fuck, fuck, fuck, Lu Ji, do you still need me and Xu Xiangyang to help you with this?"
Zhou Yuan was shocked: "No wonder you have been sleeping during the day these days, you are such a hidden talent!"
Lu Ji paused, hung up without saying a word.
Ten minutes later, the entire campus returned to silence. Jiang Tu lowered his head and walked out from the depths of the woods.
For many years afterwards, a romantic rumor spread in Jiangcheng No. 1 Middle School: After Lu Ji, a senior from the class of 2006, won the gold medal in the National Physics Competition and was admitted to Tsinghua University, he built a whole field of star lights in the woods to pursue his goddess Zhu Xingyao. The thing was very cool, like a mechanism, and all lights would light up when the master switch was pressed. Director Liu and several teachers from the Academic Affairs Office found the switch, but they were reluctant to destroy it and kept it for a long time until it rained and the circuit was damaged, so it could not be turned on.
