"Thank you." Her heart was pounding, and her throat was still itchy. Afraid that he would see that she was in a hurry, she hurriedly put down the wet wipes, pointed to the pile of snacks, and said, "Well, how much are these things?"

Jiang Chengyi raised his eyebrows: "Student Lu, are you serious?"

Of course seriously.

For an unknown reason, she was eager to draw a clear line with him, so she organized the language in her mind as quickly as possible, and was about to answer when a girl's voice came from the corridor outside.

After the meeting, someone came in, it was Ding Jing and Liu Yujie.

Seeing Lu Yan and Jiang Chengyi standing at the door, they all looked surprised.

Unable to hold back, Ding Jing said, "Jiang Chengyi?"

Jiang Chengyi still stared at Lu Yan, but stood up slowly and said, "I have to go to practice." It was like saying to Lu Yan, because the volume was very low.

Before Ding Jing came in, he put his coat on his shoulders and walked towards the door.

After he left, Ding Jing didn't move, and was still looking at Lu Yan.

Lu Yan ignored her. As early as half a month ago, she was inexplicably framed by Ding Jing and Liu Yujie once. For this reason, she was almost removed from the cheerleading team. Although things subsided later, she has officially had a bad relationship with this person since then.

At this moment, in the face of Ding Jing's unkind gaze, she asked herself to ignore the other party's need, took care of her own things, and left the library.

After school in the evening, the students are like pigeons who have been trapped for a whole day. As soon as the school bell rings, they can't wait to rush out. The corridors of the teaching building are therefore extremely congested, and there are people everywhere.

In the evening, there was cheerleading training, so Lu Yan and Deng Man came out of the classroom, and while discussing about seeing Tang Jie, they made their way through the crowd.

When she reached the stairs between the second floor and the first floor, Lu Yan was about to go down the stairs when she was suddenly pushed hard from behind. She suddenly jumped forward and rushed forward with her hands. Supporting the wall, after all, the force was not enough, and the ankle was still swollen.

Deng Man was taken aback and hurriedly stabilized her: "Are you alright?" He wanted to squat down to check her feet, but it was too crowded, making it difficult to stand, let alone bending over.

Afraid that Deng Man would also fall, Lu Yan hurriedly said, "It's fine." Looking back, she saw a classmate from Class 3 behind her, named Li Manli, who, like Liu Yujie, was Ding Jing's son-in-law.

Seeing Lu Yan staring at her, Li Manli said innocently, "What's wrong?"

At this time, a boy next to him said, "Li Manli, you are not authentic. I saw you push Lu Yan just now."

"Why are you like this?" Deng Man's face was flushed with anger. She was not good at arguing with others, and her voice and energy were not enough, but the accusation was obvious.

There were several glances around, Li Manli bit her lip and couldn't get off the stage, so she had to bite the bullet and apologize: "Lu Yan, I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it just now, there were too many people, and even I almost fell, I didn't even realize I was pushing you, how are your feet, are you alright?"

The classmates were still crowding forward. The three of them barely stood for a while, and were pushed down by the crowd. The conversation was interrupted until they reached the level ground on the first floor of the teaching building, and they were able to get out of the crowd. Only then did the three of them stand. stable.

Lu Yan was indeed not seriously injured, but thinking about the cause and effect, she always felt that this was too strange, so she said to Li Manli, "Help me to the infirmary, the school doctor probably hasn't finished get off work yet."

Li Manli looked embarrassed: "But the cheerleading team is about to start training. I have been absent once last time. If I am late again, the teacher will remove me. I don't think you are seriously injured, or you can let Deng Man accompany you. You go, I'll help you and the teacher ask for leave."

"You won't know until the doctor sees whether the injury is serious or not." Lu Yan looked at her meaningfully, "It's actually very simple, let's go to the basketball gym together, and after the leave, you can accompany me to the infirmary. "

Deng Man also said: "It's only three months before the finals, the teacher has already said that you can't be absent from every training session, and suddenly it's like this. If Lu Yan can't play, the teacher doesn't know what to think. Since You 'accidentally' pushed Lu Yan, we'd better explain this to the teacher together."

Li Manli couldn't, so she had to say, "That's fine."

At the basketball hall, Lu Yan and Deng Man dragged Li Manli to explain the reason to the teacher.

Li Manli blindly avoided the key points and glanced at Ding Jing and Liu Yujie from time to time when speaking. Fortunately, Lu Yan was articulate and knew how to focus on the key points. In addition, Deng Man was by the side to help, so Li Manli finally didn't let Li Manli go.

The teacher was born in a sports major, and had some experience with common sports injuries. After figuring out the cause and effect, she asked Lu Yan to sit on the seat to the side to check the injury.

After careful inspection, the teacher said to Lu Yan, "It's not a big problem, but, in order to avoid the deterioration, you should stop training today, and don't go to the infirmary. Just ask any classmate to come to the infirmary to get you some medicinal wine. Just wipe it, you will be in the stands for the past two days and watch your classmates do their moves, and then join the training when you are completely healed."

"What's wrong?" Someone suddenly spoke from behind. Lu Yan looked up and saw that they were some boys from the basketball team, as if they had just come out of the back lounge. Seeing this, she was a little surprised.

Jiang Chengyi was also on the side. Although he didn't speak, when his eyes fell on Lu Yan, he frowned almost invisible.

"The student sprained his foot."

The teacher got up and turned to look at Li Manli: "Since you accidentally pushed your classmate, then you should go to the infirmary for Lu Yan."

Li Manli snorted, fearing that the teacher would be suspicious of someone else, she turned and ran away.

The teacher said to the others: "It's getting late, the students are coming back to the team soon."

Deng Man put the schoolbag at her feet and said worriedly, "Then I'll rehearse first, and you can call me if you have anything."

"Go ahead." Lu Yan tried to be as relaxed as possible, "Remember the movements, I'll be waiting for you to teach me later."

At this time, the basketball players also sat down on the bench. Since it was not yet time for practice, they chatted while drinking soda, which seemed very loose.

However, there seemed to be some kind of tacit understanding between them, and without exception, they kept a certain distance from Lu Yan.

Lu Yan noticed that Jiang Chengyi only showed up and disappeared. She was wondering when someone suddenly sat on the side. When she turned her head, she saw Jiang Chengyi appeared out of nowhere, and handed her a box: "Here."

"what is this?"

"It treats sports injuries." Jiang Chengyi said with a smile, "In your case, just wipe it twice."

Lu Yan saw that the packaging was very delicate, and somehow felt that the contents in it would be better than those on the market. She also knew that a foot injury would cause a lot of inconvenience. In order to recover as soon as possible, she took it: "Thank you."

Another reason was that although she desperately wanted to keep a distance from him, she didn't want to be too sensitive in front of so many people.

When I opened the box, I saw that there was a spray, a small medicine bottle, and a roll of white plaster. The packaging was printed in English, and it was densely packed with instructions.

At this time, Li Manli ran back, holding a plastic bag in her hand, which contained a bottle of safflower oil. When she came to Lu Yan, she said in a coping manner, "Here you are."

Jiang Chengyi didn't let Lu Yan take it, he just said sarcastically, "Keep this thing for yourself."

Li Manli couldn't help but tremble. Having been a classmate for so long, she knew Jiang Chengyi very well, and knew that he seemed harmless to humans and animals. Everything was just an appearance. , I don't know how to answer for a long time.

Ding Jing looked this way frequently, inadvertently met Jiang Chengyi's indifferent gaze, her face became extremely ugly, and she was eager to get rid of herself.

Lu Yan opened the manual and read it for a while, then unscrewed the bottle and started rubbing the medicinal wine.

"You're too weak." Jiang Chengyi looked at her hand, a little absent-minded, "Just like your rubbing method, it won't get better in half a month."

"Then how to wipe it?"

"I'll wipe it for you." Jiang Chengyi lowered his voice.

Lu Yan blushed and looked up at him. He looked very sincere and didn't mean to offend sincerely.

The boys next door had amazing ears, and for some reason they heard it, and said with a smile, "Damn it, Jiang Chengyi, I'm convinced."

Jiang Chengyi silently spit out the word "go away".

The group of people were still laughing lowly, but they were still sensible and stopped talking immediately.

"No need." Lu Yan's face was still hot, and she always felt that Jiang Chengyi was wilted, so she squinted at him and refused.

At noon the next day, Deng Man thought that Lu Yan's foot injury had not healed, so he went outside to buy Lu Yan lunch after class.

The classmates went out for food, and the classroom was empty.

Lu Yan sat for a while, took out the small box from her schoolbag, and rubbed the medicine for herself.

After wiping, someone suddenly placed a takeaway on the table.

"Are you hungry?"

She looked up and saw Jiang Chengyi.

He hesitated for a while: "No need, my friend went to buy food for me."

"I know." Jiang Chengyi raised his eyebrows, "At your friend's speed, you may not be able to buy it back in half an hour, so let's take a bite first."

Although the lid of the take-out box was tightly closed, the fragrance wafted up from time to time. Lu Yan's eyes drifted over and saw that it was a very popular takoyaki in front of the school. The boys didn't like it, but the girls liked it, but in the blink of an eye, Her saliva was hooked out, and she struggled for a while. Knowing that Jiang Chengyi was sure of this, she still opened the lid of the box with no dignity: "Okay, thank you."

He asked him again, "Have you eaten yet?"

"Eat." He was obviously not interested in these things, and only watched her eat from the side.

After a while, her eyes fell on her ankle, she was startled, she squatted down, took a closer look, and frowned: "Damn, why are your feet so swollen than yesterday?"

Lu Yan paused and thought to herself that yesterday was not so serious, but just yesterday evening, Deng Man took a taxi and took her to the gate of the community. When she got off the car and walked for a while, she felt that someone was following her. Looking back, And no one.

Thinking of what happened two days ago, she couldn't help breaking out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly touched her mobile phone to call her mother, but because she was too panicked, she was inattentive, and her foot was swollen again.

Later, she told her mother about it, and her mother was so worried that she didn't even bother to eat dinner, so she went to the security room of the community to ask the security guard, but the security guard swore and said, "There are only a few children who entered the community just now, just like your daughter. Students who have returned from school. You can rest assured that the security of our community has always been very good, and people with suspicious behavior in the society will not be let in. "

After hearing this, Lu Yan was afraid that her mother would be worried, so she said that she was too weak, so she let her be a false alarm in vain.

Of course, these words really shouldn't be said to Jiang Chengyi, so he said lightly: "Oh, I accidentally twisted it at home last night."

Jiang Chengyi took the medicine bottle, poured the medicinal wine into the palm of his hand, squatted down, and wanted to rub the medicine for her: "You have to rub it open, or it will be swollen for a long time, and if you miss a few more times, the cheerleading team will probably be able to remove you from your name. already."

Lu Yan's heart almost stopped in her chest, and the takoyaki in her hand was so frightened that she was about to fall off. She hurriedly said, "No, I'll rub it myself."

"You kneaded it yourself last night, did you knead it?"

She was speechless.

"Lu Yan, don't think of me so badly, okay?"

She still shook her head: "No, no."

Jiang Chengyi smiled, but said with a pun, "Lu Yan, what are you afraid of?"

She froze.

What is she afraid of

She doesn't know it herself.

All she knew was that compared to other people, Jiang Chengyi always made her feel uncomfortable. The indifference and ease in the past are gone, only passive and cramped, this feeling makes her very uneasy, as if something has taken root in her heart, which always makes her worry about gains and losses.

The most terrible thing is that she obviously has 10,000 ways to reject him, but she can't say a word right now.

He saw her hesitation, and only when she acquiesced, he smeared the medicinal wine on her ankle.

His palm seemed to be charged with electricity, and as soon as it touched her skin, it made her back shudder.

Her whole body tensed up and she almost forgot the pain. When her consciousness returned, she couldn't help but scream, "It hurts."

"Oh." His ears turned red with a brush, "Just hold back."

Fortunately, the process was not long, and the medicine was applied in three or five strokes. When he got up, he was obviously not as calm as usual.

The early summer sun generously spilled into the classroom, and the surroundings were strangely quiet. She stared at his T-shirt unconsciously, as if a heat wave was washing her ears, and her thoughts were stirred for a moment by this inexplicable force.

There was a premonition that she was uneasy, but also had the urge to get up and run away. After some time, she heard him say, "Lu Yan, I like you. Would you like to be my girlfriend?"

His voice had the feeling of a clear spring flowing through a stream and stone, which was subtly different from usual, especially deep and pleasant.

She only felt that the heartstrings were gently plucked, and her heart beat violently.
