The bell rang for the noon self-study, and the classes were surprisingly not quiet. The corridors were noisy, and students were constantly running in and out of various classes. The head teachers and classroom teachers of each class seemed to have unanimous opinions. They stayed in the office after eating, as if they couldn't hear the noise outside.
The English class representative held two stacks of papers and stood next to Tao You. He frowned impatiently and kept raising his hand to check the time. "Have you finished writing? You can go to the office and give it to the teacher later."
"Immediately." One noon, Tao You didn't know how many times she said these two words. She hurriedly wrote the last word of the composition and took a breath while the English class representative's eyes fell on her paper. , handed the paper to her.
Tao You watched the English class representative take off the sticky note attached to the paper, use a pen to cross out Tao You's name from the long list of people who also failed to submit the paper in time, and said somewhat unhappily, " This is the first time you forgot to complete your homework on time. You can forgive me. I will wait for you to finish your homework, but please pay attention next time. If you fail to submit your homework on time again, I will not wait for you. What does the English teacher stipulate? I have to hand in my homework at the right time. If I’m late, she’ll blame me.”
"Okay. Thank you." Tao You agreed and watched the English class representative walk out of the classroom in three steps and then two steps. She found a comfortable position and slumped down on the chair.
If she hadn't been worried about finding a companion for tomorrow's party, she would never have forgotten that there were two papers for today's English homework that needed to be turned in before get out of class ended at noon.
——Companion, companion, where can I find it? Can you parachute one to me before the party tomorrow night?
Tao You looked up irritably and stared at the snow-white ceiling. She didn't care about the various rituals of the party, nor what the content of the party would be tomorrow. Her purpose was just to join in the fun. But after all, all the students from the whole year group will participate, and when the time comes, the others will form groups in pairs, talking and laughing, leaving her standing there alone, which makes her feel pitiful and unique no matter how she looks at it.
"Brother, Guo Xinyu from Class 4 has agreed to be my companion!" A boy ran and jumped into the class, hugged his deskmate's shoulders, and announced loudly.
"Qingshu, I just went to see Tang Yan, and he said he already has a companion." Behind him, another girl reported the news to her friend in a low voice and with disappointment.
"How could it be?!" Zhao Qingshu said in surprise, "Didn't you make a good promise before? Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
「······」
Tao You pricked up his ears and listened to the various sounds coming from around him. He always felt that finding a companion to attend the party together seemed like giving the students a disguised opportunity to send out invitations to the people they liked. In normal times, this would definitely be a taboo in school.
"Excuse me, is Jia Ming here?" A girl appeared at the door of Class 1, her eyes scanning the situation inside Class 1. There were very few people in the class, and most of them left the classroom to join in the fun and look for people. Within a few seconds, she I saw the person I was looking for.
Tao You stared with wide eyes. As the girl got closer and closer, Jia Ming's face became more and more shocked and redder. He hurriedly lowered his head and hurriedly cleared the table. The papers were piled into a ball, trying to relax themselves.
The next second, there was a muffled "bang" sound, and the books stacked on the corner of the table were knocked to the ground and scattered. Jia Ming put down the paper in his hand again, bent down, and picked up the books at a loss.
The girl also knelt down to help pick up the books. She smiled generously and said something to Jia Ming. Then he nodded. The girl helped organize the books, turned around and skipped out of the classroom.
——Isn’t it right? Even Jia Ming has found a companion? !
Jia Ming's shyness and panic were completely unexpected by Tao You. It's just that she heard Jia Ming ask for leave from the head teacher in the office two days ago and not go to the party.
The reason was that there was something going on at home. When he heard him use such an old-fashioned excuse, Tao You immediately moved closer to the side quietly, pricking up his ears and trying to learn a few tricks to see how he could make up tricks on this reason. The head teacher approved his leave, so maybe she would have to use a similar method to ask for leave.
But when she saw the head teacher take out her mobile phone and call Jia Ming's mother to confirm on the spot, she immediately lowered her head and dismissed the reasons that were gradually forming in her mind. If the head teacher also called Tao's mother to confirm, her reasons might still be there. It was already exposed before I even finished saying it.
It was really unexpected to see Jia Ming agreeing to the girl's invitation so quickly.
"She is the daughter of my grandfather's brother's son..." Jia Ming regained his composure and explained frankly to the few students who came up to ask curiously, "My cousin."
"Your cousin... Then why are you blushing?" Those students said speechlessly as the gossip that had just risen in their hearts slowly subsided.
Jia Ming scratched his head in embarrassment and blushed a little more. "She is pretty, and we don't meet often. When I talk to people I don't know well, I get nervous and my face gets red." His voice became louder and louder. As I got younger, she said, "She said that I was too introverted. I definitely didn't have many friends at school. She wanted to introduce a few friends to me."
Several classmates would blush because of nervousness when they thought about Jia Ming talking to people in his class. For a moment, they didn't know what they were making fun of here. One of them coughed a few times, put his arm around Jia Ming's shoulders and said, " Who said you have no friends? Aren’t we all your friends?!”
Jia Ming was startled by his action for a second, and his face turned redder.
————————————————————————————
"Xiao Youyou," Hong Xiqi walked around outside and returned to the classroom dejectedly, "Hey." She couldn't help but sigh, like an eggplant beaten by frost.
Tao You raised his eyebrows and handed her a piece of candy, "What's wrong? Weren't you still in high spirits when you went out? How long has it been like this?"
"Hey," Hong Xiqi sighed again, raised her eyes to look at Tao You, and said pitifully, "Xiao Youyou, can you ask for leave tomorrow night?"
Tao You stared at Hong Xiqi in disbelief, but Hong Xiqi reached out to cover her eyes, "Don't look at me like that, it's scary."
"You've been looking forward to it, haven't you? Why don't you want to go all of a sudden?" Tao You asked, slapping her hand away.
Hong Xiqi sat astride the chair and raised her feet on the bars of the chair. "It's boring to be alone. It's better to lie down at home and watch TV dramas."
Tao You subconsciously looked at the competition class at the back, "Didn't Gu Yi come to see you? That shouldn't be the case. You two haven't had any conflicts recently."
"Who knows! In the past few days, he ran away when he saw me after school, and even disappeared without a trace after school. Am I some kind of savage beast?! Can I still eat him?!" Hong Xiqi suddenly raised her voice, angrily He said, "Tsk, I don't want to mention him, it's disturbing."
Tao You rolled his eyes and an idea popped into his mind. He took Hong Xiqi's hand and said, "How about we make a couple."
Hong Xiqi looked Tao You up and down, her eyes full of doubts, "Are we two together?" She said, looking out the window with empty eyes, and after a while she shook her head like a rattle, and pulled out He repeatedly refused with his own hand, "No, no, no, that picture is too strange."
"What's weird? There is no rule that there must be a boy and a girl. A companion is a partner, someone who goes to school and plays together. If you mind, I can wear men's clothes." Tao You said with a flattering smile. An opportunity came to her and she wanted to resolve the matter.
"No, no," Hong Xiqi stepped back, unable to resist Tao You's enthusiasm. "I feel uncomfortable. Besides, Song Yimian will definitely come to you. I won't compete with him."
Having said this, Tao You leaned back in his chair in frustration, "So many people are looking for Song Yimian, it's not like you haven't seen them. Maybe he has found a good person long ago."
"You know again?" Hong Xiqi nodded helplessly on Tao You's head and said, "Song Yimian's nature, there are so many letters in the drawer, he doesn't even look at them, and most of the food goes into our stomachs , do you think he will find a good person?"
"Maybe." Tao You touched his nose.
"Oh, go ahead and ask. I guarantee that as long as you ask, he will definitely agree." Hong Xiqi patted Tao You on the shoulder confidently and said, "Hey, tell me about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here."
Tao You turned around and looked at the time. Half of the self-study time had passed before he returned to the classroom. He didn't know what to do.
Hong Xiqi secretly kicked Tao You and signaled her to speak quickly with her eyes.
Song Yimian took off his coat, wiped the sweat from his forehead, took a sip of water, noticed something was wrong with the two people next to him, and asked breathlessly, "What's wrong?"
Before Tao You could speak, Hong Xiqi pointed at her and said, "Xiao Youyou has something to tell you." It was too late for Tao You to cover her mouth.
Song Yimian looked at Tao You and waited quietly for her to speak.
Tao You turned her eyes away, avoiding the overly direct look from Song Yimian. The atmosphere was frozen, and she seemed to be able to hear her own strong and powerful heartbeat. The next second Song Yimian made eye contact with Tao You, he turned his head slightly to look at the treetops outside the window, raised his hand to play with the ballpoint pen, and was secretly looking forward to Tao You's next words.
During this period, the relationship between Tao You and Song Yimian has been in a state of neither getting better nor getting better. Even small things like borrowing a rubber or pouring water, which were never polite to each other before, are now said unconsciously. Thank you and you're welcome; in the past, after class, we used to fight like brothers, kicking, pinching, and pulling each other's hair out, but they didn't think it was a big deal. No one specifically mentioned to them what boundaries they should pay attention to, so they just felt that it was okay. It should be like this, but now if the eyes can't meet each other for more than two seconds, they will automatically diverge and move to both sides; when I am doing homework, my elbows accidentally touch each other, and the next moment they will bounce away as if they were electrocuted. .
Especially Tao You, as long as it was related to Song Yimian, she unconsciously became cautious and would deliberately keep a distance, as if to avoid suspicion, even leaving a gap between the two tables.
No one else could see any changes, only the two of them knew how awkward this relationship was, as if something was stuck in the middle. They both knew what the thing was, but they didn't take the initiative to take it away.
"That..." Tao You stammered and looked at Hong Xiqi for help. Before she could think of how to speak, she was betrayed by Hong Xiqi. Now she was rushing to put the duck on the shelf, leaving only a blank in her mind. .
——What am I going to say? Why are you nervous?
Tao You felt a layer of sweat on her palms, and her fingers became slippery and uncomfortable. She held the corners of her clothes and wiped them away, but the sweat seemed to be endless and kept coming again.
"What did you just do?" Tao You finally couldn't say what he wanted to ask.
Hong Xiqi's expectation on the side reached its peak. She almost stared at Tao You's face with a hole in her face. Even her breathing was synchronized. The second half of Tao You's gasping words made her breathless. She He shook his head and turned back, indicating that he really couldn't do anything to her.
When Song Yimian heard Tao You's question, his heart skipped a beat, followed by a relaxed sense of loss. His mood was like a dead leaf blown down by the wind outside the window. He took a breath and said, "Play ball with Gu Yi." went."
"Oh." Tao You nodded and closed his mouth. Song Yimian didn't say anything, the atmosphere condensed again, and the laughter around them seemed to have nothing to do with them.
——This atmosphere is really suffocating. What should I say? What is the right thing to say at this time.
Tao You racked his brains and couldn't think of a good topic.
"Enough chatting. Are other classes fun?" The chemistry teacher walked into the classroom with a straight face, put a thick stack of notebooks on the desk, and took a few steps back. The class representative stepped forward with discernment. , distribute the book.
Tao You turned back to his side and silently thanked the chemistry teacher for showing up in time.
The chemistry teacher crossed his arms, pointed at the clock, and continued, "Half the class has passed. Have you found everything you need to find? Have you gone to the classes you need to go to? Can you calm down and study now?" He glanced around The whole class laughed suddenly, wrinkles forming at the corners of their eyes.
