The opening ceremony lasted for more than an hour and finally ended.
A large number of students were holding chairs and crowded in the corridors. Not only was there little air, but they were bumped into by chairs from time to time.
Tao You didn't want to be crowded with them here, so he simply followed Hong Xiqi to the canteen. Anyway, classes hadn't started yet, so when he returned to the classroom, he just sat there chatting and waiting for the head teacher to come over and assign tasks.
Hong Xiqi shuttled in front of the snack rack, looking as if she wanted to empty the snack rack.
"Xiao Youyou, don't you want to buy anything? You can eat something if you get hungry later." Hong Xiqi was still shopping when she saw Tao You following behind her without taking anything.
Tao You doesn't have a strong desire to shop, and she doesn't eat much snacks. The main reason is that Tao's mother won't let her. At most, Tao's father buys her some and hides them in the bedroom, but Tao's mother finds out every time and gives Tao a lesson.
Now that Hong Xiqi said it, I felt like eating it.
"I'll go take a look." Tao You said to Hong Xiqi.
She walked slowly in front of the snack shelf. Colorful snack packages passed before her eyes, but she was not interested in them.
Tao You stopped in front of the potato chip rack and raised his hand to reach for the original packaged potato chips. When he saw the lime flavored potato chips next to him, he stopped and hesitated a little. His nose seemed to smell the good smell of Song Yimian again. Smells of lime.
She found herself thinking about Song Yimian again, and was really stunned. She closed her eyes, and the villain in her mind kicked his figure out. After opening his eyes, he took two packs of original potato chips, turned around and left without any hesitation. The whole movement was neat and smooth.
Within a few seconds, Tao You turned back, put back a bag of original potato chips and replaced them with lime-flavored ones, and went to the freezer next to the cashier to get two bottles of lime-flavored drinks.
She usually rarely eats lime-flavored snacks, but for some reason, she wanted to try them this time.
"You like to eat lime-flavored things?" Hong Xiqi was a little curious when she saw that Tao You took mostly lime-flavored things.
Tao You shook his head: "I don't particularly like it, I just want to try it suddenly."
Most of the classmates were back. Gu Yi and Song Yimian were chatting in their seats. They didn't know what they talked about and laughed happily.
"Wow, Hong Xiqi, you can eat so well, aren't you afraid of getting fat?" Gu Yi saw Hong Xiqi put a large bag of snacks on the table, and opened his mouth in an exaggerated circle.
Hong Xiqi didn't turn around: "You, an ordinary person, should stay away from the affairs of fairies."
"Let me share some with you. You won't be able to finish it all by yourself. You'll complain when you get fatter." Gu Yi saw his favorite snacks through the transparent bag, so he said shamelessly, leaning his upper body on the table , reaching towards the snack bag from behind.
Hong Xiqi reacted quickly. She hugged the snack bag and patted the back of Gu Yi's hand mercilessly: "Take your paws away! I can't finish eating. There are Xiao Youyou and Chen Lian, as well as the classmates, take turns. Do you want me? Please give me some face!"
"I'm your classmate too. Don't be so stingy. Classmates should help each other. I haven't even eaten breakfast yet. I'm so hungry now. Just give me some." Gu Yi's misfortune was actually due to his greed.
Tao You watched the two of them fighting, while Song Yimian sat quietly, lowering his head and playing with the tennis racket. She thought of the previous help and thought for a moment that she should thank him.
Would giving some snacks appear more sincere? Tao You looked at the snacks he had just bought, hesitated for a few minutes, and finally gave him lime-flavored potato chips. He must really like the taste.
At this time, Gu Yi had already walked to Hong Xiqi's seat to grab snacks, which provided convenience to Tao You.
Tao You took a few deep breaths, turned around diagonally and put the potato chips and drinks on Song Yimian's table.
Song Yimian looked up, his eyes a little complicated, confusion mixed with a little surprise.
surprise? Tao You couldn't figure out why he wasn't surprised: "These are thank you gifts. Those books... thank you." Tao You was very nervous and spoke a bit fast, but he should have heard clearly.
Song Yimian picked up the potato chips, looked at the taste, and smiled: "You actually remember my favorite taste."
"What?" Tao You didn't understand.
"It's okay, continue." Song Yimian looked at Tao You and leaned back on the chair, his eyes full of smiles.
"Continue?" Tao You thought he meant that she left something behind and didn't thank you. She lowered her head and thought for a moment, "Ah, I also want to thank you for the opening ceremony just now." Although she didn't know if she was being sentimental, but it seemed that all she had left was This happened.
Song Yimian nodded, still looking at Tao You.
Tao You was also looking at him.
After a stalemate for a few seconds, Song Yimian saw that Tao You had no intention of continuing, and the smile on his face slowly disintegrated: "Is this... the end? You have nothing else to say?"
Tao You racked her brain and couldn't think of anything else he had done to help her. She asked cautiously, "Should I say anything else?" She felt that Song Yimian was angry.
"Everyone has thanked you, don't be so stingy." Gu Yi broke the deadlock, he had returned to his seat, eating the beans he asked for from Hong Xiqi, "He's like this, just turn around and ignore him. "This is what I said to Tao You.
Tao You nodded, and when he saw that Song Yimian had nothing to say, he turned back.
"I've been brothers with you for almost ten years. You and I know everything about you. There's something really wrong with you recently. You're definitely hiding something from me." Gu Yi handed the food to Song Yimian and whispered in his ear, "There has been something wrong since the book exchange. What happened to the opening ceremony? What's the matter? You fell in love with this right after the beginning of school? Did you two know each other before?"
"The food can't stop your mouth." Song Yimian grabbed the beans and stuffed them into Gu Yi's mouth, "If you don't know how to speak, don't speak."
In the afternoon, a must-have activity for every start of school is general cleaning.
Tao You was assigned the task of cleaning the tiles.
She was cleaning the tiles while chatting about TV series with Hong Xiqi. The conversation was in full swing when a man came over and said in her ear: "Are you sure you really have nothing to tell me?"
Tao You turned to look at the handsome face in front of him, his cheeks stained with a light pink. The ears were the most red, and his breath hit them just now, making them itchy.
She was so close that she could clearly see the down on Song Yimian's face. His breath hit her face, making it a little hot and moist.
He must have drank the drink he bought. The lime smell on his body became stronger, as if she was wrapped in it, and he seemed to be stained with this smell.
Tao You's heartbeat quickened, and he felt that the air was thin and he couldn't breathe.
She took a few steps back and distanced herself. The smell of lime around her became lighter, and then she took a breath and replied, "It's gone."
Song Yimian frowned and tilted his head, as if he was thinking about some world problem. He stood up with the mop in his hands and said to himself as he walked out: "It shouldn't be, it can't be wrong, how could it be?"
"I haven't had time to ask you yet, why did you exchange books with me?" Tao You thought of the question he hadn't had time to ask, "We're not that familiar."
"It's a change, it's a change." Song Yimian said it as if he hadn't, and walked away. "Slow reaction." However, the latter sentence was covered up by Hong Xiqi's voice.
What is this answer. Tao You choked, not knowing what Song Yimian meant.
"What's going on between you two?" Hong Xiqi watched the whole process from the side, leaning against the wall and frowning, "Why does he feel so nervous? He looks a little silly, just like what I heard. , not quite like it.”
"I don't know either." Tao You didn't know whether to laugh or cry. If she knew the reason, she would have made it clear just now. She was also puzzled as to why he was so sure that something happened to her without telling him, "Just wipe it quickly, don't think about it."
Tao You came out of the bathroom after washing the rags and saw Song Yimian standing at the door, deep in thought. As soon as she left, he followed her.
"Are you really, you have nothing to tell me? Don't you remember?" Song Yimian still refused to give up.
"It's really gone." Tao You rolled his eyes secretly, laughing in his heart, "I said, we haven't met a few times, and we're not familiar with each other, so we don't have that much to say. You really got the wrong person. Really. It's possible that I bumped into the name of the person you know." After saying that, he strode forward, leaving Song Yimian where he was.
The classmates passing by looked at them curiously and whispered to each other.
Song Yimian knew from their expressions that they were all thinking wrongly. He looked at Tao You's leaving figure and rubbed his head manically.
In the evening, the golden crow sinks in the west, the red is no longer so dazzling, the gold is no longer so brilliant, and slowly, the glow fills half of the sky.
There was no self-study in the evening, and the official class would not start until tomorrow. Tao You put the books she wanted to read in the evening into her schoolbag. She planned to preview tomorrow's class. She planned the time to memorize what should be memorized. As the saying goes, the stupid bird flies first, and she was afraid that she would not be able to make it in time. .
"We're going to play ball. Do you want to watch?" Gu Yi sat on Hong Xiqi's table, playing with a tennis racket in his hand. "There will be a team match later."
Hong Xiqi pushed Gu Yi off the table in disgust, turned around and asked Tao You, "Are you going?"
Tao You looked at Hong Xiqi's expectant eyes and knew that she was interested. To be honest, I wanted to go there, but when I thought about the task in the evening, I also thought about the scene where I failed in the exam and was scolded by Tao's mother: "I won't go, you go and watch."
"What's the point of being alone?" Hong Xiqi hugged Tao You's arm and said coquettishly, "You go with me. If nothing unexpected happens, today is the most relaxing day in our three years of high school. Go ahead and study in the evening. If you can learn, I will accompany you to learn.”
Tao You couldn't stand other people acting coquettishly, not to mention that he wanted to go there too. There was still some time before the monthly exams, so he didn't seem to be that anxious. Besides, what Hong Xiqi said made sense. The days ahead would definitely not be easy. After Tao You nodded, he felt that his position was too unstable, and he felt a little regretful.
Hong Xiqi laughed happily and called Chen Lian to join her.
Halfway through, he said, "Help me get my things." Song Yimian stretched out his schoolbag in front of Tao You and explained, "Just a moment, while I pack the racket."
Why are there so many things to do? If I didn't finish them in the classroom, I have to wait until now. I'm going to play ball soon. Why are I putting up the racket? Tao You complained silently in his heart, but his body still accepted the schoolbag honestly.
Song Yimian did not let go, and even shook the hand holding the schoolbag slightly. Tao You didn't know his intention, so he tugged a few times and became impatient: "What on earth do you want to do? If you don't want my help, forget it!"
Song Yimian let go of his hand, and Tao You took the schoolbag, and saw him stretching his hand in front of his eyes: "Look, I'm injured, but it hurts."
Tao You looked at the red scratches on the back of Song Yimian's hand that were about to heal if he didn't go to the hospital, and rolled his eyes.
It was just a flesh wound, and I was not as pretentious as he was. Tao You slapped his hand away and walked forward angrily, taking long steps.
Song Yimian thought about it all afternoon. He was sure that this Tao You was the little girl he knew. But the best time to say hello and get acquainted had passed. The afternoon was quite embarrassing. Now he didn't know how to say it. He was afraid that Tao You laughed at why he didn't just say it directly at that time, but he had to make so many detours.
Of course he doesn't need to put the tennis racket in it now. He can only walk a few steps to the tennis court. Usually, even if he gets injured while playing and needs stitches, he never utters a word. Now this little flesh wound on his hand is nothing. It doesn't hurt or itch. .
Song Yimian knew that the reason he gave was weak, but he just wanted to see if Tao You still remembered the wristband she gave him before she left. He waved his hand in front of her just to attract her attention, but he didn't expect to make her angry. He didn't want her to be angry.
He panicked. He had been afraid that Tao You would be angry and ignore him since he was a child. He put away his tennis racket in a few seconds and trotted to catch up with Tao You: "Give it to me. Thank you." He spoke softly, a bit to please.
Tao You squinted at Song Yimian's lowered eyebrows and his sudden change of tone. Tao You seemed to see the word "grievance" in him. She suddenly remembered that the golden retriever from her former classmate's house seemed to be like this when she was scolded.
Tao You felt like he was bullying someone, but he actually didn't do anything. Wasn't he just going too far? She opened her mouth to say something, but still nothing came out.
Song Yimian didn't say a word, and he was not happy either. In my heart, I blame Tao You for being too stupid. He still can't remember it. Maybe he has forgotten all about himself a long time ago, so he is still stupid enough to register.
Hong Xiqi and Gu Yi stood behind them, watching the farce in front of them, and tacitly slapped their lips together.
"Hey, what's going on? I'm getting more and more confused. The plot is so confusing." Hong Xiqi ate chocolate beans and nudged Gu Yi with her elbow.
"I don't know, I don't understand either." Gu Yi said and continued to reach for the chocolate beans in Hong Xiqi's hand.
Hong Xiqi lowered her head and realized that Gu Yi was stealing her chocolate beans. She slapped the back of his hand again: "Why don't you know, you are not his brother?" She glared at him.
Gu Yi bared his teeth and rubbed the back of his red hand: "Then you are still her good friend, how come you don't know. Besides, it's not like you don't know how Brother Mian treats outsiders. His attitude towards Tao You in the past two days, Even my brothers have never enjoyed it in all these years."
"Tch." Seeing that Gu Yi couldn't ask anything, Hong Xiqi ran up to chase Tao You.
Gu Yi also caught up with Song Yimian and stretched out his hand in front of his eyes: "Brother Mian, my hand hurts and I need to scream."
"Get lost." Song Yimian didn't even bother to look at him and just patted it.
Gu Yi grimaced in pain and waved his hands: "It hurts! Don't be so cruel! You're all red! Brother Mian, your attitude is too double-standard!" Hong Xiqi was also photographed in this position just now, and now she is even redder.
"Hypocritical." Song Yimian said to him.
"Speak for yourself." Gu Yi said to himself, not daring to speak loudly. He was afraid of being beaten.
What is this? Since I came back, I have met strange people. Tao You secretly whispered in his heart.
Halfway through the game, Chen Lian arrived late.
"Aren't you afraid of getting fat by eating like this?" Chen Lian was a little shocked when she saw that Hong Xiqi's snack bag was almost empty.
"It's said that when I was young, I was fat and became thin when I grew up. I was skinny when I was young and then became fat when I grew up. I was fat as a child, like a ball, so now I don't get fat no matter what I eat. It's okay." Hong Xiqi is a little proud.
Tao You suddenly had an idea: "Ah!" He slapped Hong Xiqi on the leg.
