Outside the corridor, the head teacher looked at Li Can, hesitated for a moment, and said bluntly: "Are you in love with Li Jingyao?"
"Who?" Li Can was even more confused, "No."
"Oh." The head teacher nodded, "I was just asking."
This world is very tolerant of puppy love. Unless the boy’s parents disagree, the teacher will generally not pursue the matter. Of course, I won't advocate it. I heard that getting married and having children in college will give you extra credits. Even if someone gets killed in high school, the school won't react too aggressively.
"Why do you ask that?" Li Can was curious.
The head teacher smiled and said: "Those senior students said that the reason for the incident was because they were chatting in the toilet and talking about you. Li Jingyao became angry and rushed up to beat them."
Li Can: "Huh?"
The head teacher patted Li Can and said, "Forget it, it's okay. Go back. Study hard."
On the way back to his seat, Li Can glanced at Li Jingyao by the window, feeling a little complicated. Li Can didn't go to Li Jingyao, nor did he talk about it to anyone.
The days passed, and nothing surprising happened in the following time. And Li Jingyao never caused any trouble, but she would wait for her at the school gate every day. She would say hello to Li Can with a smile, and then follow Li Can silently. Li Can asked her, and she answered. If Li Can doesn't speak, then she won't speak either.
This happens every day, no matter it rains or winds.
The time has arrived on December 24th of the Gregorian calendar, which is Christmas Eve in Western Christianity. This is originally a Christian festival and part of Christmas, but I don’t know why there was a tradition of ‘giving apples’ after it spread to the Xia Kingdom. It's incredible.
Li Can has resisted this day since he was a child, because every time since he was a child, Li Can would go home with a big bag of apples. For the next month, there was no need to buy fruit at home. Li Qing also makes apples into various kinds of food. Now Li Can feels a little nauseous when she smells apples.
However, this kind of thing is unavoidable. You can't narcissistically say the day before that you are not allowed to give yourself apples tomorrow on Christmas Eve, right?
What if they didn't want to give it to you? How embarrassing.
However, this good thing did not happen. As soon as Li Can and Li Jingyao entered the class, Li Can saw his desk full of apples. Each apple is wrapped in plastic paper of various colors with words written on it. Some even drew hearts, and some didn't sign, but simply wrote 'for my husband' on them.
They are all in the bookcase in the back row and in my desk.
Li Can shouted to his classmates, "Why did you give so many away?"
Both of them blushed and dared not look directly into Li Can's eyes.
"Then I won't return the gift! Or you can take it back and treat it as a return gift, okay?"
At this time, a girl who usually had a good relationship with Li Can joked: "Then take a bite and give it back to me, and I will treat it as a gift in return."
"Disgusting." Li Can looked disgusted, but it aroused bursts of laughter.
Many girls looked forward to it, as if they really wanted the apple Li Can had bitten.
The English teacher came in with a book in his arms. When he saw Li Can standing with a table full of apples, he immediately smiled and said, "Li Can, you are so popular."
"If none of you take it back, then it's mine! I'll keep the colored paper, but I can give away the apples."
With that said, Li Can opened an apple and left the plastic colored paper. He took out the apple and ran to the podium, "Teacher, I'll give you an apple."
Li Can was a thief in borrowing flowers to offer Buddha, otherwise he would not be able to get back these dozens of apples even if he killed Li Can.
"Thank you~" The teacher smiled so hard that his eyes rolled, "This is the first time I received an apple from a boy."
"No way, the teacher is so good-looking." Li Can slapped a rainbow fart.
"Hahahaha, no way, the teacher is already old." He said this on the surface, but the teacher was already smiling from ear to ear.
I will probably remember this day for the rest of my life, and I will talk about it with everyone I meet in the future. On Christmas Eve a long, long time ago, there was a perfect young man who gave her an apple and praised her as the most beautiful in the world.
In order to keep the rain and dew even, every teacher in class today gave Li Can an apple as a return gift. After that, Li Can ran to the teacher's office with the bag in his arms. Li Can gave it away to everyone, regardless of gender. Anyway, I can't take it back, and I don't want to eat it. It’s not a waste to give it away like this!
At the same time, after class, Li Can went to the canteen and bought a large bag of chocolates. Everyone gave two or three chocolates as a return gift. After all, this pack of chocolates is not cheap, costing more than a hundred yuan.
When the chocolates were delivered to Li Jingyao, Li Jingyao suddenly said: "I didn't give you an apple."
"Ah?" Li Can was stunned by Li Jingyao's straightforward words, but he remembered that she followed him in and did not give him a gift, "It doesn't matter, I will give you a chocolate. And I don't like apples either, so don't give them to me in the future. I’ll give you apples.”
"Oh, thank you." Li Jingyao took the chocolate, lowering her head and not knowing what to think.
However, Li Can was surprised to find that most people did not eat the chocolates after getting them, but put them in their pencil cases or schoolbags, "Why don't you eat them?"
Li Can raised questions.
One girl smiled and said, "I want to keep it as a family heirloom."
Everyone laughed.
Li Can expressed his understanding. After all, they would never receive gifts from boys as outstanding as themselves in this life.
After class in the evening, Li Can walked towards the subway station. Someone behind him pulled his schoolbag. Li Can turned his head in confusion and found that it was Li Jingyao, "Eh? What's wrong?"
"Can I go home with you?"
"Aren't you going to sit in 'Glory' anymore?"
"I won't sit down anymore." Li Jingyao shook her head, "I told my mother that I will go to and from school by myself from now on."
"Why is this?" Li Can wondered, "It would be better to take a car."
"I... want to go to school with you." Although her face was red, Li Jingyao's eyes did not dodge this time.
"Ah?" Li Can was stunned for a moment, good guy, this guy couldn't hold back a word for a long time, why is he suddenly making a straight shot now. Fortunately, Li Can has experienced hundreds of battles, otherwise he would have exposed his flaws, "Oh. Let's go then."
Li Can walked straight forward, and Li Jingyao quickly followed, "Well... I didn't give you an apple today because I have other gifts for you."
With that said, Li Jingyao put down her schoolbag and took out a box of Ferrero Rocher. It was quite a big box and should be quite expensive.
"For you."
"Thank you." Li Can winked and smiled, "But I don't like chocolate."
"Ah..." Li Jingyao didn't know what to do for a while.
"Forget it, since it's your first time to give me something, I'll accept it. Don't buy me chocolates in the future."
Li Can took Ferrero and put it into his schoolbag. Seeing this scene, Li Jingyao smiled and said, "Well, thank you."
"Why are you thanking me for giving me something?"
"Thank you for accepting it."
"Neuropathy."
"sorry."
The two of them swiped their student cards and entered the subway station. The first year of high school ended earlier than work, so there were no people in the subway station. They were all nearby students. Many people came over to chat after seeing Li Can, while Li Jingyao followed Li Can silently, never leaving.
Li Can suddenly thought of this: "Speaking of which, where do you live? Just follow me."
"Ruihai Bay Community."
"Ruihai Bay..." Li Can thought for a while, "Is it over there in the development zone?"
"Yes."
"That's not a convenient route. The one you take on the opposite side should be closer, right? Isn't this a long detour?"
Weijing City Metro Line 1 is a circle, and you can reach your destination no matter which way you sit. However, it takes more than ten stops from the direction of Li Can, while it only takes a few stops from the opposite direction.
"It's okay, there's no one when I go home anyway."
"So miserable?" Li Can blinked, "Do you live with your mother?"
"Yes." Li Jingyao nodded, "The nanny also comes to my house every day."
"Then I can study with you on Saturday." Li Can suddenly smiled.
Hearing this, Li Jingyao's eyes suddenly lit up, "Really?"
"It's true." Li Can explained, "My mother and aunt both work on Saturdays, and my sister goes to college. I'm just at home by myself, which is quite boring. The only drawback is that it's too far away from home."
In elementary school and junior high school, playing football was a pastime, but after entering high school, my friends used to play football less and went to Internet cafes to play games. Li Can was too lazy to go and stayed at home on weekdays.
Li Jingyao said quickly: "I can come to pick you up!"
"You are so positive." Li Can looked at Li Jingyao, "Do you have evil intentions?"
"No, I swear."
"I'm kidding you, why are you so serious?" Li Can couldn't laugh or cry, how could a girl be so stupid.
Li Jingyao lowered her head: "I'm sorry."
“Do I have your WeChat account?”
"No." Li Jingyao shook her head.
"Then add it and contact us via WeChat then."
"good."
Li Jingyao was a little happy.
Slowly, there were more people in the carriage. Li Jingyao blocked Li Can in front of her, but she was always a few centimeters away from Li Can. But even so, Li Jingyao's little face was still red. Moreover, there were too many people coming up from behind, and Li Jingyao's hands had veins in her hands trying to block the crowd.
Li Can didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You don't have to be like this. I'm already taking the subway. I'm not that rich."
Li Jingyao didn't speak, just shook her head. Li Can stopped trying to persuade him.
When she was about to get off the bus, Li Jingyao suddenly said: "I recently signed up for a taekwondo class."
"Why do you learn that stuff?" Li Can didn't understand. Can Taekwondo be used in actual combat?
"I can protect you in the future."
"Protect me?" Li Can was stunned, then laughed. Unless Li Jingyao becomes Lu Zhishen, she will never be able to beat him in this life.
Li Jingyao was confused: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay." Li Can shook his head, "I don't need the protection of force. You study hard and become a high official like your mother in the future, so that you can truly protect me. Do you understand?"
Li Jingyao nodded after hearing this, with a serious look on her face: "I understand. I will quit Taekwondo when I get back."
