Director Liu's office is in the administration building. One has to go through the Grade 12 teaching building and then around the corridor to the end to reach the administration building. The whole journey takes nearly five minutes. Director Liu walked in front, and Zhu Xingyao and Lu Ji followed behind. She held her head with her hand, and her face was a little pale.
Director Liu put his hands behind his back and looked back at them: "Don't be too nervous, I just want to talk to you."
Lu Ji raised the corner of his mouth and said self-deprecatingly: "Okay."
Zhu Xingyao turned to look at him and bit her lip, wondering how he could still smile.
Director Liu sighed in his heart. As expected, young people are not afraid of anything. When Director Liu turned back, Lu Ji suddenly grabbed Zhu Xingyao's hand, which frightened her so much that her hand trembled. Director Liu was right in front of him, how dare he? !
Lu Ji lowered his head and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, it's okay."
He squeezed her hand and then released it.
At this time, the senior high school building was very noisy. The students sitting by the window saw Zhu Xingyao and Lu Ji follow Director Liu and immediately started to talk. Class 1 and Class 2 were especially noisy. Li Xixi returned from the window and sat down. She turned to look at Xu Xiangyang anxiously: "Are they being called in for a struggle session?"
Xu Xiangyang frowned and said, "Generally speaking, when a man and a woman are called in for a talk by Director Liu, it's related to premature love, and they won't be able to leave the Academic Affairs Office for three hours."
Li Xixi lowered her head and whispered in a very low voice: "They have only started for a few days and have been very low-key. How come they were called away without any warning? Before, the Star Lights were so loud and there was nothing wrong..."
"It's a bit strange indeed. Logically, one of them is recommended for admission and the other is going abroad. In fact, even if they are in a premature relationship, the school will probably turn a blind eye." Xu Xiangyang clicked his tongue, "Maybe someone reported it?"
There were other voices in the class, the most discussed being "Is the goddess really in a premature relationship with Mr. Lu?" All these voices were like spells, drilling into Jiang Tu's ears one by one. He lowered his head, staring at the function on the question bank, feeling extremely tormented in his heart.
In the Academic Affairs Office, Director Liu sat at his desk with a cup of steaming tea in front of him. He looked at Zhu Xingyao and Lu Ji in front of him. The two students standing together were really pleasing to the eye. He sighed, "Someone anonymously reported that the two of you were in a premature relationship."
Lu Ji frowned, and somehow he suddenly remembered what Jiang Tu said coldly in his freshman year of high school: "You are so blatant, aren't you afraid that I will report you?" He pursed his lips, but his heart suddenly calmed down.
He admitted that he made the star lights.
Jiang Tu reported him.
Okay, no one is more upright than anyone else.
That's fair.
Zhu Xingyao was completely unaware of those things. She had never been called for a talk by the dean of studies since she was a child. It must be said that Director Liu was really good at talking. He first talked about the various dangers of premature love, and then gave many examples. He didn't allow you to refute. If you refuted, he would raise his hand and say, "Listen to me first and don't interrupt."
Zhu Xingyao was quite calm at first, but after an hour, her psychological defenses began to weaken. Two hours later, her legs were numb from standing, and she suddenly felt uncomfortable and aggrieved.
After all, Lu Ji is a boy, so he is thick-skinned and has better physical strength. When he saw that Zhu Xingyao looked unhappy, he looked at Director Liu and said, "Director, can we sit down? We have been standing for two hours."
"That won't work. When I give a lecture, everyone stands. No exceptions."
"… "
Lu Ji was annoyed, but he endured it.
After more than half an hour, Director Liu stopped and poured another glass of water. After drinking it, he slowly spoke: "Although one of you is sure to be admitted and the other is going abroad, it is useless to say that it will affect your studies. I also know that both of you are good at studying. Lu Ji even won the first place in the national physics competition, which is very proud of the school. Zhu Xingyao is beautiful and talented. You two are very famous in school and everyone knows you. But, because of this, the impact is even greater! Especially the starry light. Now every night someone runs to turn on the switch, and I caught someone confessing his love by taking advantage of the scenery. You can see how big the impact is!"
Zhu Xingyao bit her lip, lowered her head and said nothing.
Lu Ji was silent for a few seconds, then looked up and asked, "Why isn't the school demolished?"
Director Liu choked. Such a big project was done beautifully and impeccably by a student. The school really couldn't bear to demolish it. He coughed and said, "This is a large project and we are very busy at the beginning of the school year. Let's put it aside for now and demolish it later. You two are still young. Lu Ji's file is very perfect. You will be a role model for many younger students in the future. If you fall in love prematurely, it will have a great impact..." He paused and didn't say anything about Lu Ji. "Zhu Xingyao is preparing to go abroad. You are still young and have a long life ahead..."
"Director Liu, I was the one who pursued her." Lu Ji interrupted him, "In terms of right and wrong, it should be my fault."
Director Liu glanced at him and waved his hand: "Alright, alright, you guys go back first, I'll ask your class teacher to keep an eye on it."
From 4:30 to 7:30, a full three hours.
It was getting dark outside the window, the senior students started their self-study, and the campus returned to silence.
Zhu Xingyao's legs were stiff, and they went limp when she moved. Lu Ji hurried to support her. She quickly pushed him away, lowered her head and whispered, "I'm fine." She calmed down, lowered her head and walked out of the office.
Lu Ji followed her silently. When they reached the stairs, he called her in a low voice: "Zhu Xingyao, this is my fault."
Zhu Xingyao paused and looked down at her toes, feeling embarrassed. Director Liu's last words made it very clear that she was talented, beautiful, but not as good as Lu Ji. Lu Ji was the school's role model for many years to come. If she was with Lu Ji, she would be a good role model that would influence Lu Ji and the school.
It was Lu Ji who pursued her, but it seemed like she was the only one to be blamed.
She looked up at him and said, "I'm fine, go back first."
She lowered her head and walked downstairs quickly. As soon as she got downstairs, she saw Cao Shujun and Xie Ya arguing. Cao Shujun stopped in time and coughed, "Zhu Xingyao, come with me."
Xie Ya also called Lu Ji away.
Obviously separate conversations.
Zhu Xingyao followed Cao Shujun to the end of the corridor, but Cao Shujun said gently, "You must be tired after standing there and being scolded for several hours. Go eat something first and then go back to the classroom."
"Thank you, Teacher Cao..."
Zhu Xingyao didn't go to eat. She walked around the canteen and wandered aimlessly around the campus.
Buzz buzz buzz—
Zhu Xingyao's cell phone in her schoolbag was vibrating.
Jiang Tu's stiff body moved and he turned to look at her schoolbag.
Half a minute later, he walked out of the classroom with her phone. He ran into Cao Shujun downstairs, who asked him where he was going. Jiang Tu said calmly, "Zhu Xingyao's phone kept ringing, and I was afraid it was urgent."
Having been a class teacher for two years, Cao Shujun always felt that Jiang Tu was calm and sober, and knew what she wanted. He said with confidence: "I just asked her to go get something to eat. She should be in the cafeteria or the canteen."
Jiang Tu took big steps, and soon he started running.
He didn't find Zhu Xingyao in the canteen or the cafeteria, so he ran to the track and field and the stadium... It was the first time he was so anxious that he ran almost half of the campus but couldn't find her. It was not until he ran around the school auditorium and walked around it that he suddenly stopped and looked towards a certain place, panting.
Zhu Xingyao leaned against the corner of the stairs, hugging her knees, resting her chin on them, curled up into a small ball. Her eyes were wide open, just staring at Jiang Tu.
Jiang Tu walked up to her.
She raised her face, and he looked down and saw the tears flickering in her eyes, and his heart ached.
He held her cell phone in his hand, and it started buzzing again.
Zhu Xingyao saw it, she quickly lowered her head and blinked, and said in a low voice: "Are you here to give me a phone?"
Jiang Tu hummed softly and handed the phone to her.
The call was from Zhu Yunping. Zhu Xingyao hesitated for a moment before answering the call. She whispered, "Dad..."
"Xingxing, Dad got a call from Director Liu." Zhu Yunping was a little bit unbelievable after hearing what Director Liu said. However, when he heard that his daughter's early love object was Lu Ji, he suddenly understood. He said in a gentle tone, "Lu Ji is a very good boy. I met him last time. He was hospitalized last time to save you. I also heard that he made a large star-shaped light to confess his love to you. I know that girls of your age are easily impulsive... You said before that you won't fall in love too early. Sometimes a momentary impulse is not true love. Besides, you are going abroad next year. Long-distance love is very hard and difficult to maintain..."
Zhu Yunping spoke in a gentle tone and said a lot.
The more Zhu Xingyao listened, the more aggrieved she felt. Tears streamed down her face. She quickly lowered her head and wiped her eyes vigorously.
Jiang Tu sat down next to her. The distance was very close, so he heard almost everything Zhu Yunping said. Zhu Xingyao hung up the phone with red eyes. She turned to look at him, and the embarrassment suddenly doubled. She didn't know why, but she really didn't want to see him at this time, and she was afraid to see him.
She quickly lowered her head and begged in a low voice: "Brother Tu... please go back..."
Ignore her, don't look at her, leave her alone.
Jiang Tu didn't move. He swallowed hard, stared at her profile, and moved his lips slightly.
If the previous report was a result of momentary madness and uncontrollable unwillingness, then at this moment, he completely regretted it.
He watched her cry, felt aggrieved, and didn't even want to go back to the classroom. He felt that he was extremely selfish and ugly inside.
Zhu Xingyao does not belong to him, but he tries to frame her into his own world.
What was the point of him doing this? He couldn't pick the stars, so why shouldn't he let others touch them? He kept saying that he couldn't bear to let her go, but he was actually doing the opposite. He wanted her not to be with Lu Ji, not to fall in love, and wait for him to become good enough before going to find her.
But, he can report it once, but can he report it for the rest of his life
He was like a selfish and ugly prisoner, trapping himself instead of her.
Jiang Tu sat next to him and didn't move for a long time.
Zhu Xingyao's emotions became more and more complicated, embarrassed, uneasy, wronged, and confused...
After a moment of silence, she turned to look at him: "Why don't you leave..."
The moonlight shone on her fair face. Jiang Tu saw that her eyelashes were wet. He took a deep breath and asked in a low voice: "It's not good for you to stay here alone. Do you want to go back to the classroom? Or where to go?"
"I don't want to go back... Everyone in the class must be talking about me." Zhu Xingyao covered her face. She seldom cried, and her eyes must be red now. She would be laughed at if she went back to the classroom like this. "I don't know where to go. School isn't over yet, and I can't go out..."
"You want to go out?" Jiang Tu suddenly pulled her up, "If you want to go out, I'll take you out."
Zhu Xingyao was stunned for a moment, and asked in a low voice: "How, how do we get out?"
A few minutes later, Jiang Tu brought Zhu Xingyao to the edge of the wall. She looked up at the high wall, a little dazed.
Jiang Tu turned to look at her: "I'll go up first, you wait for me downstairs."
He jumped up and grabbed the edge of the wall. He did a pull-up and climbed up easily with his long legs. Zhu Xingyao was stunned, and even the grievance and embarrassment were diluted. Jiang Tu sat on it, leaned down and stretched out his hand to her: "Come."
Zhu Xingyao looked at his broad and slender hands, hesitated for a moment, slowly stretched out her hand, and was immediately held by him.
"The other side."
"good… "
Many people say that if you never liked someone or fell in love early in high school, you will regret it when you grow up. If you never missed a class or climbed a wall, your student life is not complete. Zhu Xingyao's hands were held by Jiang Tu and pulled up. She sat on the wall with him face to face. Her head hit his chest. When she smelled the faint smell of tobacco on his collar, her heart suddenly beat like a drum.
The author has something to say: Xingxing: I’m only 17 years old, why do you want me to be involved in a love triangle? Woohoo…
Tu Ge and Lu Nanshen: Ask your mom.
Me: … You don’t know how hard it was for me! How much hair I lost!

Copywriter:
Duan Yihan, a beauty blogger with over a million fans, discovered that her childhood sweetheart Shen Hao had been secretly following her on Weibo.
She asked: "What's your Weibo ID? I'll follow you back."
Shen Hao said, "I don't post on Weibo, so you don't need to pay attention."
Duan Yihan was confused, and slowly asked tentatively: "Then why did you open a Weibo account?"
"It's convenient to keep an eye on you, your parents, and my parents."
"… "
A few months later, Duan Yihan held a brand promotion event on Weibo by offering a lucky draw for forwarding a post.
One day, she sent a private message to the winning fan "Shui Bai" -
"Hello, fairy, congratulations on winning the prize! Please send me your name, phone number and address as soon as possible!"
After sending the private message, she clicked on the fan’s Weibo page. The homepage was full of content about her, and she was a VIP of her personal super topic who was above level 8.
I won the lucky draw and became a true fan, which makes me feel really good.
The next second, she received a reply from this fan—
Shen Hao.
137xxxxxxxx.
Fudan University, 220 Handan Road, Yangpu District, Shanghai.
Also, I’m a man.
Duan Yihan was still in a daze when the other party sent her another message - However, it seems more convenient for me to pick it up in person.
