Since "Final Fantasy 8" and "The King of Fighters 97" were both played by Lin Yue, Chen Xun has been honest for a long time, because the strengths he can take advantage of are the first is studying, the second is playing basketball, the third is playing games, and the fourth is playing games. He was engaged in music, and now apart from the fourth strength, the first three were all being pinned to the ground and ravaged by Lin Yue, which was really hard for him to accept.
The end of November.
Winter has arrived, and the early wind blows the cold wave southward. The trees on the campus have lost their green color and become bare and dry. There are also many fewer pedestrians on the street. Even the beggars asking for money on the overpass have moved to the leeward position.
Today is Saturday, and there will be a holiday after class in the afternoon. Lin Jiamo finished cleaning the classroom, locked the door, and was about to walk outside when a person turned in from the corridor.
It was Chen Xun. He was holding a blue GBC in his hand. In the afternoon, the group of boys talked about this thing for several breaks.
"Hey, why haven't you left yet?"
Chen Xun said: "I'm waiting for you."
"Wait for me" Lin Jiamo looked stunned, not knowing why Chen was looking for him.
"Let's go and talk to the top."
As he spoke, he walked upstairs.
Lin Jiamo thought for a moment, then followed him upwards, straight to the rooftop of the teaching building.
"Why do you have the key to the corridor door?"
"Who am I? It's not a piece of cake to fix a lock."
"Tell me, what's the purpose of calling me here?" Lin Jiamo walked to the railing and looked at Zhao Ye who was playing basketball with the third-year students below.
"I know you like Lin Yue."
One sentence brought Lin Jiamo's attention back.
"Did I tell you the main thing?" Chen Xun put away the gbc: "The millennium will soon be here. If you don't do something, the person you like will be snatched away by other girls."
Lin Jiamo was indeed a little panicked when he revealed the little girl's thoughts, but she still had the ability to think.
What Chen Xun said actually makes sense.
He Sha gave Lin Yue a Parker pen, which he used every day. After more than a month of special training and nearly half a year of practice, it can be seen that He Sha has put in a lot of effort and is even better at sketching than Fang Hui. It is said that she even signed up for an advanced cram school last month. The next step is Learn colors and sketching, and last month's blackboard competition was drawn by He Sha, who took first place in the whole grade.
More importantly, He Sha used the pretext of asking for advice on cultural class problems and painting skills to show her presence in front of Lin Yue every day. Even Jiang Xiaoxuan, who was sitting next to her, could tell that He Sha liked Lin Yue and would be there if anything happened. The gossip made her feel very uncomfortable.
"Chen Xun, what do you want to say?"
Chen Xun said: "If you want to confess to Lin Yue, I can help you."
"How can you help me?"
Chen Xun laughed and said something.
Lin Jiamo lowered her head, looked at the tassels of the scarf hanging loosely on her chest, pondered for a moment and said, "Why do you want to help me?"
Chen Xun said: "Because we are friends."
Lin Jiamo looked at him suspiciously: "He Sha is also your friend."
"Okay, I'll tell the truth." Chen Xun sighed: "I like Fang Hui."
Lin Jiamo wanted to say that your liking Fang Hui has something to do with helping me confess to Lin Yue, but she thought a little deeper: "Fang Hui also likes Lin Yue."
Chen Xun said: "I'm not sure, this is my guess."
If Chen Xun hadn't said anything, Lin Jiamo wouldn't have thought that way, because He Sha's affection for Lin Yue was obvious. She usually went there to brush her face when she had nothing to do. Only Fang Hui looked very normal, except that she liked to ask Lin Yue for everything. opinions and no actions that people care about.
If Fang Hui is interested in Lin Yue, once her confession is successful, all Fang Hui can do is give up her unrealistic fantasies and accept Chen Xun's love.
Lin Jiamo squinted her eyes and said, "Well, Chen Xun, you are so calculating."
"Then your answer is..."
"I agree."
"Okay, let's make it right then." Chen Xun turned around and left.
Lin Jiamo raised her head and glanced at the flowing clouds in the sky, tightened the red scarf around her neck, and walked downstairs.
…
At the end of December, the library of Experiment 1 Middle School.
"Happy New Year."
Qiao Ran pulled up a chair and sat down.
Fang Hui recovered from her distraction and looked up at him: "It's not the New Year yet."
"Tomorrow is Friday. After the New Year's tea party, New Year's Day falls on Saturday. We have to prepare for the program tomorrow. It's quite busy. I'm afraid I won't have a chance to talk."
"Isn't there still Saturday?"
"Saturday...I don't know if I have time."
"Why didn't we agree to have dinner together on Saturday?"
"My mother said she would be back on New Year's Day, but I don't know exactly when she will arrive, so..."
"Oh." Fang Hui nodded, understanding.
Qiao Ran's father was a policeman who died in the line of duty when he was young. His mother went abroad two years ago and originally wanted to take him with her, but he didn't agree and couldn't live without his friends here, so Mother and son live in separate parts of the world.
"By the way." She unzipped the schoolbag placed on the chair next to her, took out two greeting cards and handed them over: "The silver one is yours, and the blue one is Chen Xun's."
"Why don't you give this as a gift?" Qiao Ran said as he went to pick it up.
Fang Hui asked: "Have you collected a lot?"
Qiao Ranyan said sincerely: "No."
"Jiamo bought a lot of greeting cards, for junior high school classmates, high school classmates, and teachers. I saw she couldn't use them all, so I took a few from her."
"Like This……"
"By the way, this." He held the blue greeting card and said, "I think it would be better if you hand it to Chen Xun in person."
"Give it to him, I, Chen Xun..."
She still remembers Lin Jiamo's expression when she was choosing a greeting card for her, holding a greeting card with a heart pattern and saying that she wanted to write the most romantic New Year's greetings to Lin Yue. At that moment, she didn't know why, but her heart felt like Pricked by a needle.
Lin Jiamo likes Lin Yue. Although she can usually see some clues, at such an important time, she feels inferior and anxious. Thinking of Qiao Ran, Chen Xun, and Lin Yue, it feels like she has reached the end of her life. At a crossroads, I don’t know which side to choose.
She was afraid to see Lin Yue because she would think of Lin Jiamo's love for him, which made her feel unhappy. She was also afraid to see Chen Xun, because she always felt that she owed him too much and didn't know how to repay it. It would be easier when the time comes, so he asked Qiao Ran to give Chen Xun the New Year's card.
"Okay, I'll pass the card on to him."
Qiao Ran would naturally not put pressure on Fang Hui, although he didn't know why she was like this... In fact, he was a little happy deep down in his heart, which meant that Fang Hui trusted him more between himself and Chen Xun.
…
The New Year's Day of 2000 is the end of a century and the beginning of a new century. Both the national level and the school level attach great importance to it.
After the classes ended on Friday morning, the whole class mobilized at the end of the first class in the afternoon, blowing up balloons, hanging colored paper, and posting "Happy New Year" on the windows.
The desks and podium form an "opening", leaving an area in the middle for students to perform their talents. Zhang Huiran and Ren Gaoying brought people to buy melon seeds, peanuts, candies, oranges, bananas, apples and other snacks. Some people also rented VCDs and audio equipment. In terms of atmosphere, it was even more exciting than the Chinese New Year.
Lin Yue and He Sha's task was to draw New Year's posters, both before and after.
This was not a difficult task for him. Anyway, the two of them had already finished the painting when Hou Zhen was invited over.
Just like what was shown on TV, Audio-Technica performed a dance, some people also performed skits, and Ren Gaoying also sang a piece of Tianjin Allegro.
Lin Yue was not interested in participating in this kind of tea party, because as a high school student, his dancing was too stiff, his acting skills were too poor, and he often sang out of tune. However, he still sat like a loyal audience until the tea party was over. After all, for the people here, He only has one millennium in his lifetime, so he can't disappoint everyone.
After finally making it to the end of the tea party, Hou Zhen said a few words of encouragement and New Year's greetings, told everyone to have a good two days, then turned and left.
The students left one after another. At this time, Chen Xun walked up to Lin Yue who was packing his schoolbag: "Lin Jiamo asked you to go to the rooftop. She has something to tell you."
Lin Yue said "carelessly": "If you can't say anything here, you have to go to the rooftop in this winter..."
"How do I know this?"
"Okay, got it."
Lin Yue packed up his things, put on his coat and came out of the classroom. After saying a few words to Jiang Xiaoxuan who was left behind to clean up, he walked up the stairs to the rooftop of the teaching building.
There is a row of colored lights above the cement guardrail, shining with colorful light. Fireworks occasionally explode in the distant sky, and the brilliance of that moment overwhelms the sky full of stars.
"You know I gave everyone greeting cards, why didn't I give them to you?"
