Xu Huaishi held her phone with her back against the wall, and didn't move for a long time, until she faintly heard Xu Huaisong's voice from outside the door: "I'll wait for you outside, watch out for the steps."
Then Ruan Yu said: "Got it, I know this place well."
She left the wall and stood up straight, saw Ruan Yu coming in with a bag, and waved to her: "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry."
"Your brother is really troublesome," Ruan Yu lowered his voice, and handed her the aunt's towel, "I told him to go to the commissary to buy something, and he didn't leave school, so he insisted on following."
Xu Huaishi smiled, and lowered her voice: "Then is my classmate still at the door?"
"You mean Zhao Yi? I'm chatting with your brother."
"Oh, look, it's a nuisance, too."
Ruan Yu froze for a moment, and could hear something unusual in her tone. Just as she opened her mouth to ask, she saw her beckoning to him: "Sister-in-law, lend me your hand."
She reached over, and she squeezed her thumb to unlock the phone.
It shows Unlock failed.
Xu Huaishi pressed her thumb again, but it was still successful.
She scoffed: "Childish." She handed the phone to Ruan Yu and went to the toilet in the cubicle.
Ruan Yu squeezed the phone, and after a little guesswork, he pieced together the complete cause and effect. After a while, he walked to the door of the cubicle: "Huaishi, you..."
"I don't have a puppy love." Xu Huaishi blurted out, opened the door of the compartment after speaking, and added another sentence, "I didn't have a puppy love..."
Ruan Yu smiled at her and returned the phone to her: "Let's go then."
She nodded and went out with her, and stopped suddenly when she came to the door: "Sister-in-law, I won't be a group performer, anyway, I'm missing a lot, are you okay if you're not on the set? If it's okay, accompany me to the canteen to eat oden .”
Ruan Yu said "um", and went to the door to dismiss Xu Huaisong and Zhao Yi, and went to the canteen alone with Xu Huaishi.
For the first half of the journey, Xu Huaishi didn't speak until she was near the canteen and said, "Sister-in-law, I already guessed it."
Ruan Yu turned his head: "Guess what?"
"Zhao Yi likes me." She lowered her head and breathed into her palms, rubbing her hands together, "We see each other every day, unlike you and my brother who can't speak a word for three years, he likes it Me, how could I not see it."
If he didn't like her, how could he, a person who doesn't even bother to take a broom and turns on an electric fan to "sweep garbage", help her wipe the blackboard when she is on duty, eat a mouthful of chalk dust, and say "What is this chalk?" Brand, tastes good."
If he didn't like her, how could he have the audacity to ask someone for the answer after knowing that she missed the English paper, and said, Is that girl secretly in love with me? She forced this answer into my hands, and she couldn't stop her."
If he didn't like her, how could he, a preparatory high jump champion in the school sports meet, give up the race to run with her after finding out that the high jump event conflicted with her 1500-meter long-distance race time, and said, "This time the referee is my deadly enemy, This jump is not about height or life, so if you don’t play, don’t play anymore.”
But she was also dull enough.
Just because he laughed at her being short when he was cleaning the blackboard, hurt her when he gave her the answer "you have today", and said that her face was pale like a ghost when he ran with her, she ignored the meaning of these actions , has long dismissed his kindness as a "boring provocation".
She didn't really realize it until half a year ago, when she and Li Shican were secretly photographed by paparazzi, rumors broke out in the class, and he fought for her.
But after realizing it, she was afraid.
When talking to Xu Huaisong on the phone that day, she pretended to be casual about her classmate entering the police station, and then told Ruan Yu as if she was deluding herself, thinking that it was impossible for Zhao Yi to fight because of herself, but it was all because of fear. .
At that time, if passers-by hadn't stopped him in time, Zhao Yi would have almost killed himself. This kind of liking made her breathless, like the shoulders that were originally empty were suddenly weighed down by a thousand weights, and she was unwilling to bear it.
So after that incident, she began to intentionally avoid Zhao Yi for the whole summer vacation, until he felt her estrangement, and after school started chatting lively with other girls in the class, he stopped talking to her.
It wasn't until autumn passed and winter came, and she thought that he was hot for about three minutes, which meant nothing, and it was uncomfortable for the two of them to be so stiff, so she took the initiative to chat with him and repaired this friendship.
However, in the atmosphere of fireworks on New Year's Day just now, it seems to have crossed the line again.
Or, in fact, he never backed down at all. Because the fingerprint on that phone could only be unlocked by him while she was sleeping, but she never took a nap in the classroom after the cool weather in October.
While having a hot fight with other girls, he secretly recorded her fingerprints, he really liked "her brother" over "her brother".
Thinking of this, Xu Huaishi pouted, and suddenly heard Ruan Yu ask: "He likes you, so what do you think?"
"You see, I know but pretend not to know, what can I think?"
"Well... Knowing but pretending not to know, doesn't necessarily mean that you have no idea."
"Oh, sister-in-law," Xu Huaishi glanced at her, "Why do you still encourage the younger generation to fall in love early?"
"No." Ruan Yu laughed, "Do you know why teachers and parents don't let you fall in love early?"
"I'm afraid of delaying my studies."
"Then why does puppy love delay study?"
Xu Huaishi choked and shook her head.
Anyway, this is a cliché, adults say so, who has considered why.
"On the premise of being an adult, in theory, a stable relationship with a sense of proportion will not bring negative effects to people, but in reality, a relationship often has to go through the madness of the love period and the twists and turns of the running-in period, and the running-in is not smooth. There is also a lovelorn period, so it is usually unstable. Love itself is not a bad thing, it is the emotional instability it causes to people, and it is easy to break things. So, if you don’t know what he thinks, that’s okay. If you are touched by this, if you continue to avoid it, you will only make your emotions fall into repeated instability, which will also affect your learning."
Xu Huaishi blinked, and let out a guilty "Oh".
"Huaishi, I'm afraid it's the plague that you can't avoid, not your feelings. You are a smart person. When you get to this point, instead of hesitating and looking forward and backward, it's better to face this problem, think about it, and use reason to treat both you and him. good way to handle it."
Xu Huaishi spent the entire New Year's Day holiday thinking about Ruan Yu's words.
On the day of returning to school, she left home half a day early, called Zhao Yi, and invited him to a milk tea shop near the school.
Because it was a temporary invitation, Zhao Yi came a little late, took off his scarf, rubbed his hands and said, "Why, are you plotting another plan to break into the school history museum?"
Xu Huaishi shook her head, looked at him and said, "Have you done your homework for New Year's Day?"
"Do you think I'm someone who knows how to do homework? If you want to copy your homework, tell me earlier. I'll ask someone first..."
"I'm done." She said slowly, and took out a stack of test papers from her bag.
"Oh, you want to copy it for me? You don't have to..."
"Zhao Yi!" Xu Huaishi interrupted him, "Who asked you to copy homework? You don't listen to lectures in class, don't memorize books after class, never do homework, and the exams all depend on mediocrity. Do you want to go to university?"
He was taken aback: "What are you doing, old class upper body?"
Xu Huaishi frowned seriously: "Answer me well, the college entrance examination is about five months away, do you really want to go to college?"
He was silent: "If you can go up, go up, if you can't go up, just pull it down."
"That… "
"Then what?"
"That… "
Xu Huaishi said "that" twice but didn't tell the truth, instead she said, "Give me the phone."
Zhao Yi took out the phone, and watched as she unlocked it with her thumb.
"..."
He was silent for a moment, and soon became excited: "Fuck, when did you steal my mobile phone and enter your fingerprint?"
Xu Huaishi gritted his teeth and looked at him: "Say it again? Did I steal your phone, or did you steal my hand?"
Zhao Yi rolled his Adam's apple, said "oh", acquiescing to the latter.
"I didn't finish what I said just now. Continue. You said that you can go to university if you can, and you can't go if you can't. Then... don't you care, can this fingerprint unlock your lock screen in the future?"
Zhao Yi was stunned: "What do you mean?"
"I mean..." Xu Huaishi took a deep breath, "Don't you want to go to the same university as me?"
