rose ashes

The progress of high school is obviously different from before. The little incident at the beginning of the school year was gradually forgotten with the passage of time, but it was stirred up again with the arrival of someone.

Luo Yang went to school as usual, but saw Luo Ke getting off the bus at the door. She was stunned for a moment. The bus whizzed past her the moment she got off, and when she went to look for the person on the opposite side, he had disappeared.

The family has always had a driver. At first, Luo Jiancheng suggested that she should be picked up and dropped off at school by the driver, but Luo Yang declined, saying only that she liked to take the bus to school.
Luo Jiancheng is a man who responds to soft words rather than hard ones. Since Luo Yang does not have a tough attitude, he will not force her.

But he never showed up in school before, but today he showed up at the school gate for the first time, which was really jaw-dropping.

But Luo Yang didn't care. He tilted his head and walked into the school gate.

"Have you heard? Luo Yang's new little sister is also going to study in our school. Her father personally sent her here and even went to the principal's office!"
"Her father is so good to her! Luo Yang has never been treated this well before!"
"Of course not! Luo Yang's father didn't even hold a parent-teacher meeting for her."
……

As Luo Yang walked along, she could hear some discussions from time to time. She sighed and thought that it would be better not to pretend with such a volume. She could even be kind enough to hand a megaphone to these people who "cared" about her so much.

In fact, Luo Jiancheng had intentionally or unintentionally expressed his wish for Luo Ke to go to the same school as her before, under the pretext of helping each other. In fact, Luo Yang knew that he just wanted to create an image of himself as a good father who cared about family harmony.

Luo Yang never expressed her opinion on this because she knew clearly that in this family, except Luo Jiancheng, no one had the real power to decide things.

The discussions around him continued, but Luo Yang didn't pay any attention to it. He walked among the crowd. It was not until he reached the classroom that his ears finally quieted down.

Luo Yang sat down and prepared to take out a book for morning reading, but she felt a strong gaze that was hard to ignore. She turned around and saw Jiang He looking at her with an indescribable expression.

After making eye contact with Luo Yang, Jiang He seemed to be hesitant to speak, as if he wanted to say something but felt embarrassed.
Luo Yang likes to talk about things, and she feels particularly uncomfortable when someone clearly has something to say but doesn't say it.

"Jiang He, do you have something to say to me?"
Jiang He had not expected Luo Yang's straightforwardness. He paused slightly, opened his mouth, thought for a while, then walked to Ye Gu's seat and sat down for a while.

"Um, I'm sorry about what happened at the beginning of the school year." He touched the back of his head embarrassedly, not daring to look Luo Yang in the eye.
Jiang He is a grown boy who grew up like a young master in the family. He is somewhat arrogant. The fact that he apologized like this means that he really felt that it was very foolish to talk about Luo Yang like that at that time.

Luo Yang shook his head and said, "I never care about the past. You can just say whatever you want to say."

It was then that Jiang He realized that Luo Yang's eyes were like a pool of water, so cool that it could inexplicably calm one's heart. He always felt that if he looked at her for too long, he would be trapped in it.

He coughed lightly and averted his eyes suddenly, and said very quickly: "I heard about your family. Your sister is coming to our school to study, and she is in the teaching reform class downstairs from us. I don't know who noticed that several teaching reform classes are going to hold a joint party on the weekend. Did you know?"

Luo Yang had guessed almost exactly that Luo Ke would come to school, but she had never expected such an outrageous joint gathering.

She lightly lifted her eyelids, her eyes paused for a moment, and quickly replied calmly: "Oh, now I know, so what?"

"The rules... the rules require everyone to participate." Jiang He lost confidence as he spoke, his voice getting smaller and smaller.

Luo Yang nodded vaguely, then turned away and lowered his eyes coldly: "Okay, I received the notification."

"So you will go, right?" Jiang He was a little nervous, even a little excited.

A basin of water put out the flames, and Luo Yang said calmly, "No."
Jiang He: “?”

Luo Yang shrugged: "I just said that I received the notice, when I was told that I would participate, and what punishment or disciplinary action I would take if I did not participate. OK, I am fine with it, it does not matter, please tell the teacher or anyone who wants to know my attitude."

Luo Yang's indifference and toughness were completely different from the first impression she gave people, which caught Jiang He off guard and he didn't know how to respond for a moment.

"I told you to stay away from me, don't you understand?" After going to the bathroom, he came in from the back door and saw Jiang He sitting in his seat.

Jiang He stood up immediately, his tone stiff but without much force: "Is your name written on your seat? The bench isn't made of gold, so you can't just say something."

Ye Gu snorted softly, and as soon as Jiang He left his seat a little, he immediately took advantage of the gap and squeezed in to sit down.
He tore off a whole sheet of paper from his notebook, wrote the two characters "Ye Gu" on it in a sloppy manner, and stuck it next to the table. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang He, raising his chin: "Yes, it's my name, see? Stay away next time."

Jiang He was speechless and said nothing, returning to his original position.

The sparse sounds of morning reading in the classroom gradually became louder. Ye Gu held the book in his hand, looking around, and finally stopped at Luo Yang.

The morning light outside the window just fell on her shoulders, leaving spots of light of various shapes like leaping elves. The cloak given by nature was shiny and beautiful.

Luo Ke's affairs had already spread everywhere. Ye Gu observed her expression with mixed feelings.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound beside him. Luo Yang carefully pulled at his coat sleeve, keeping the sound very low. In order to avoid being seen by the Chinese teacher, she lowered her body very low, with her face turned sideways, and her hair hung on Ye Gu's desk. Luo Yang's eyelashes fluttered like a dancing butterfly: "Do you think if I don't go to the party, will it seem ungenerous? Will people think I'm deliberately avoiding something?"

Ye Gu was stunned for a few seconds. He didn't expect Luo Yang to talk to him about this matter so frankly. He was a little slow to react.

But soon, he denied it.
"You can go if you want to, or not if you don't want to. It's your right. But," Ye Gu pretended to be mysterious and pondered, which aroused Luo Yang's interest. "If you don't go, you will lose an opportunity to wear beautiful clothes. What a pity~"

Ye Gu stretched his neck and spoke in a light and elongated voice, "My mother prepared that beautiful skirt for nothing! I'll go back and tell her that you don't--"

Luo Yang suddenly covered his mouth and glared at him, threateningly, "How dare you! Why didn't you tell me earlier that I would definitely wear the pretty clothes out for a walk, don't tell me!"

Before the lips is the soft and white palm, the warm temperature entangled with the faint blueberry scent lingers in the nose, tickling the heart playfully.

Boom, boom, boom…
Ye Gu's Adam's apple rolled with difficulty, and he quickly turned his face away, holding up the book to cover his face, and said in a deep voice: "Tsk, I know, I know."

Luo Yang wondered why he suddenly became so impatient. It was true that adolescent boys had mood swings.
Shrug your shoulders and stop worrying about it.

Until the afternoon, Ye Gu felt particularly awkward. When he was waiting for Luo Yang at the gate after school, Bian Yao suddenly patted his shoulder from behind. Ye Gu turned around with a start, and his lips touched Bian Yao's arm.

Bian Yao just looked at Ye Gu wiping his mouth with a look of surprise and disgust, his emotion was beyond words.

Bian Yao: "... Is that so? Master, my hands are quite clean."
Ye Gu was too lazy to argue with him. He was so annoyed. In the end, the scent of blueberries was gone. One day, Bian Yao would be assassinated by him in his dream.

When Luo Yang came out and was about to call Ye Gu, a shiny black little golden man stopped in front of them.
As the car window slowly rolled down, Luo Yang caught a glimpse of the driver's face and had a bad feeling.

"Sister, do you want to go home together?"

Luo Yang took a deep breath, turned around and smiled politely: "No need, you and I are not of the same age."

The grand ceremony at the school gate inevitably attracted the attention of students at the end of school, and sighs were heard one after another.

The car sped away quickly. Bian Yao couldn't hold it back any longer and burst into laughter. He looked at Luo Yang and laughed non-stop: "Ah He is really amazing. Hahaha, you can even say such careless words about the age difference. It's amazing. I admire you!"

Luo Yang glanced at him sideways in annoyance, "No, I don't agree with you on gender, so stay away from me."
After saying that, he walked straight towards the bus stop with his bag on his back.

Ye Gu followed behind her. After a moment, Luo Yang felt her shoulders become light. Ye Gu took her schoolbag off and carried it with one hand.
"What's wrong? Are you angry when you see her?"

Luo Yang turned her head away and did not deny that she did feel suffocated when she saw Luo Ke. She was able to deal with it calmly at other times, but for some reason, she was particularly angry today. When she saw her, she felt a belly full of anger rising, and the flames were frantically testing the edge of her explosion.

Ye Gu nodded with a smile on his face, savoring the meaning carefully.

Then, he said slowly: "I wonder if you could do me a favor?"
Luo Yang showed no emotion and replied casually: "You can tell me."

The next second, a heavy weight fell from her hair. Ye Gu ruffled her hair as if to play a prank, and said with a smile: "Can you please teach me how to cheer up a girl who is in a bad mood?"

Luo Yang rolled his eyes, "Master, do you need me to teach you how to flirt with girls? Shouldn't you be able to learn it on your own?"

"Then will you teach me or not?"

Luo Yang jogged a few steps before turning back. While fixing her messed up hair, she pouted: "Master, you are such a hassle. Don't girls like sweet things? Why don't you just buy some ice cream or something? It's such a hassle."

Ye Gu seemed to be thinking about something.

Today's bus No. 14 came particularly fast. When it stopped at the platform near Luo Yang's home, Ye Gu got off with him.

As soon as Luo Yang got off the car, he was shocked by the scene in front of him and his pupils shrank slightly.
A trunk full of ice cream, all the flavors of her favorite brand.

Ye Gu spoke leisurely and leisurely: "Then, is this princess who was about to pout to the sky just now feeling better?"
