When we returned to the boxing gym yesterday, Wen Liang was nowhere to be seen, but He Tianran received a WeChat message from her, saying that she had to leave early because there were still classes in the acting class. After some scolding from Wen's father, Xue Yong did not dare to continue to embarrass He Tianran, and he became more honest.
A boxing class lasted two hours, and the price paid was explosive muscle soreness the next day. He Tianran was completely paralyzed at home for the whole day.
But there is also a good thing. Father Wen seems to value his reaction ability very much, saying that if he can train it, he might really be a good boxing seedling. For this reason, he also specially invited He Tianran to continue participating in next week's trial class.
What was originally a perfect homebody weekend, just whizzed by under Wen Liang's renovation plan.
Early Monday morning, Hong Kong City Middle School.
He Tianran put a band-aid on his chin, lowered his head deliberately, and walked quickly into the classroom.
Along the way, he has noticed that many people are whispering after seeing him. This is of course not because of the injury on his face, but because Wen Liang held his hand and walked wantonly on campus before studying in class that night.
But unexpectedly, I thought that my class should be the center of this gossip, but since he came in, no one came up to make fun of him.
Of course, there are exceptions to this kind of thing, such as his deskmate, Ye Jiaqi.
"Hey, Wen Liang said that his father specially asked her to come to school and ask you to learn boxing in the boxing gym. He said that you are very talented in boxing. Is this true?"
At this time, the little girl saw He Tianran sitting down and couldn't wait to come over and ask.
He Tianran was a little confused. He first looked behind him and saw Wen Liang, who had returned to school, chatting with a few close classmates. Sensing the boy's gaze, she waved happily, and several girls around her also looked at her. Come, then cover your mouth and laugh and joke.
Is this how she originally explained it?
And it seems that all the students believe it?
He Tianran thought about it in his mind, and it seemed that this reason was indeed more convincing than the reason why he was in love with Wen Liang.
"Ah... okay..."
He Tianran said perfunctorily, and Ye Jiaqi immediately put on a serious expression and said:
"Right, let me tell you, if someone like you didn't take the initiative to take you there, you would probably have gone home directly after school. They also guessed that Wen Liang likes you. How is that possible? Are you blind! Uh... That's not what I meant...it's just..."
"I understand, I haven't thought about it in that direction either..."
He Tianran added words in time, thus avoiding the embarrassment between the two of them.
Ye Jiaqi smiled coquettishly, her nose suddenly twitched twice, and then she sniffed at He Tianran.
"Eh? What does this smell like!"
"Just...a little perfume."
This morning, He Tianran stood in the bathroom and thought for three minutes before finally deciding to follow Wen Liang's suggestion and spray a small amount of perfume on his wrists and behind his ears.
I originally expected to be ridiculed by Ye Jiaqi as usual, but I didn't expect that the other party was stunned for a moment after hearing the answer, then turned his head and said a little unnaturally:
"It suits you very well, and... it smells pretty good..."
"Thanks……"
The two fell silent. The boy was about to take out his textbook and study alone when he heard his deskmate whisper in his ear:
"The wound on your jaw..."
"I accidentally got hit while practicing boxing..."
"Oh, you have to be more careful in the future."
"Um……"
what happened?
This atmosphere... is a bit strange...
He Tianran was very uncomfortable with Ye Jiaqi's current state, and the other party seemed to have noticed something strange about him, and for a moment he said as if he was at a loss for words:
"The song you posted on Moments over the weekend is quite nice..."
"Huh? When did you get my WeChat account?!"
He Tianran was a little unbelievable, and Ye Jiaqi also found her own state. She laughed twice and said:
"I'm the life committee member. I have the contact information of all the classmates in the class! It's just that I'm good at diving, and I'm known as AKA the Gossip Fairy. You won't find me in a house like this that only knows anime and games! "
He Tianran wanted to cry but had no tears. He had long forgotten that Ye Jiaqi was the life committee member when he was a freshman in high school. So, the tree hole in his circle of friends for the past two years has been under Ye Jiaqi's supervision?
"But I really want to talk about you. You managed to add Wen Xiaohua on WeChat. People commented on your circle of friends at night. You also told others to go to bed early and not to reply. Oh my god, I was so excited when I saw it. It’s so funny, you are really straight~”
Ye Jiaqi laughed as she spoke, and He Tianran gave an ugly smile and followed her words:
"So, I didn't think about it that way..."
My deskmate wiped his smile lines on both sides of his nose with both hands, nodded and said, "I see you really didn't think about it, but I don't understand. What does A Liang mean when he keeps replying with 'future' and so on?"
"Ah, I told her that I had a dream that she would come to me to learn boxing in the future, so she kept teasing me."
He Tianran reacted very quickly, and was glad that he was usually a middle-class character. Ye Jiaqi had no doubts, but she couldn't hold back her laughter again:
"You are so middle-aged and straight! Haha, you are the only one who can say such shameful words!"
Seeing that the topic was being pushed aside, He Tianran laughed. In the eyes of others, He Tianran was a little arrogant today. After all, he had never said anything to a girl in normal times. Today he was able to talk to Ye Jiaqi. Laughter, it’s really rare.
Ye Jiaqi glanced left and right, then raised her right hand to cover her mouth, and said mysteriously:
"By the way, do you know that today..."
"Jingle Bell……"
Just when she was about to speak, the class bell rang. Chen Mei, the head teacher, walked into the classroom in time on her flat shoes, followed by Zhang Zhifan, who was two heads taller than her.
Sunny, handsome, and like the morning sun, Zhang Zhifan's appearance captured the attention of most people in the class. After all, only when he stood on the podium did the shy girls have the opportunity to stare at him unscrupulously.
"It's been a month since school started, and the results of this monthly exam are also out. According to the old rules of our class, the seats will be rearranged according to the results. Let's pack up our things, take our schoolbags and go to the corridor first. Monitor Zhang will call the student number later. Just come in.”
After Chen Meifengfenghuohuo finished speaking, the audience was noisy. The students took their schoolbags with joy or sorrow and came to the corridor to wait.
"My life is really miserable for this fairy. I may have to be my deskmate with a otaku like you for a month."
The corridor was crowded, and in the corner, Ye Jiaqi complained to He Tianran.
"Huh? It's impossible. I think I performed very well in this monthly exam..."
He Tianran was a little aggrieved.
"This is an illusion! The illusion of life! You scored around 550 in previous exams, and so did I. Did you secretly study on your own during the holidays?"
"No……"
"That's right!"
"What did you want to say to me just now?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Jiaqi confirmed that no one was paying attention to her, and then whispered:
"This morning, the class monitor specially asked A Liang to go out. Rumors among us girls went crazy, saying that Zhang Zhifan couldn't hold back because he knew Wen Liang held your hand, so he confessed to you today!"
He Tianran was expressionless after hearing this. Ye Jiaqi looked at him for two seconds and said strangely:
"What is your reaction? Why are you not surprised at all?"
"Ah, I'm actually quite surprised. Does Zhang Zhifan like Wen Liang?"
He Tianran smiled.
"No, they have a mutual crush! Haven't you noticed that Zhang Zhifan's selfies in Wenliang's circle of friends are all there?"
"...I'm not that bored."
Ye Jiaqi continued: "Oh, it was rumored that Zhang Zhifan chose the liberal arts class just for Wenliang when he was in his second year of high school. You must not know about it either?"
He Tianran nodded, Ye Jiaqi was disappointed.
"Why are you so boring? Let me ask you...when Wen Liang held your hand, were you even the slightest bit tempted?"
"Don't you know who I like?"
He Tianran asked back, and Ye Jiaqi was startled.
Then, the boy smiled self-deprecatingly and said:
"You know, middle-class people like me often have one advantage."
"What?"
"It's about the illusion of life. We can see it more clearly than anyone else."
Ye Jiaqi felt for a moment that the He Tianran in front of her seemed to have changed...
But something had changed, and she couldn't tell for a while...
Soon, a short girl in the crowd called Ye Jiaqi's name. The two of them held hands and made an appointment with some girlfriends, found another corner and started whispering. This matter was quickly forgotten by Ye Jiaqi. back.
He Tianran, who was alone, lay down on his back, leaned against the guardrail of the corridor, raised his head, and finally let out a silent breath.
"What's wrong? It seems like chatting with girls takes a lot of energy."
He Tianran turned his head and saw that the person speaking at this moment was Wen Liang, so who was it?
