It's the students' fault if they are too popular.

"Maybe he left first. It's good that the teacher is not here." Xu Dongyang's voice suddenly popped up, "My mom seemed to have invited Teacher Xiang to eat here last time."

Her eyes were clear and she said it openly.

Everyone looked at each other.

Using connections? Despise it!

Is it Xu Dongyang? That's fine.

This was the unanimous thought in everyone's mind.

When the gap is big enough, the comparisons and jealousy disappear.

Gu Nian was walking alone at the back all the way.

Sometimes the people in front would stop to take a picture, so she would stop and wait to avoid overtaking them. Chu Jie was pestered by Han Tingting and did not come to find her, which made her very glad.

"Hurry up! The light is going to turn red!"

When crossing the road, the person in front shouted.

But it was too late. The boy in front of Gu Nian didn't want to fall behind, so he crossed the road in the traffic, causing car horns to honk all the way. Only Gu Nian was left, standing across the road a few dozen meters away, looking at the dozen or so people over there.

The next red light is in three minutes.

Han Tingting said: "Let's go first, and wait until she catches up."

Chu Jie was in a dilemma. Before he could make a decision, Gu Nian had already sent a message in the group:

"You guys go ahead, I'll just navigate to the location."

It’s just right, it’s a hot day and no one wants to just wait.

Chu Jie: "Then we'll go first. I'll pick you up when you get here."

Gu Nian: "No need, just tell me the room number and I can find it."

The sun was shining brightly and the air was hot and humid. Everyone was eager to leave and go to a cool place.

Xu Dongyang stood there, thought for a moment, and said, "I'll wait for her, you go first."

She felt that leaving Gu Nian alone would be too lonely.

Bai Lu quickly said: "Then I will wait together."

Chu Jie breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he also felt that it was not good to leave Gu Nian alone: ​​"Okay, let's walk slowly so you can catch up."

On the other side, the traffic was staggered. Gu Nian looked across and saw Xu Dongyang and Bai Lu standing there, waving at her. Her heart was touched, and she raised her hand uncomfortably and waved back.

As soon as the green light came on, she went over immediately, not wanting to keep them waiting any longer.

"Thank you." Gu Nian wiped the sweat off his face and said.

Dong Yang smiled: "Let's go. Let's walk slowly and don't chase them."

Gu Nian: “Yeah.”

Bai Lu, who was standing aside, suddenly felt a sense of crisis.

From primary school to junior high school, Dongyang rarely took the initiative to make friends. She always sat alone in her seat, and her friends would come to her. I was so close to Dongyang, probably because we lived upstairs and played together every day in primary school.

The green plum that I have been thinking about for so long and working hard to achieve will not be picked by someone else, right?

Be prepared for danger in times of peace.

Bai Lu immediately took Dong Yang's arm, interrupted their conversation, and smiled brightly: "Well, let's go."

When they arrived at the KTV, the three girls found their seats according to the box numbers.

The roar from inside could be heard through the door.

Dongyang pushed open the door, and the boys inside immediately howled and clapped, regretting that the beauties came too late.

Chu Jie had just sung a song, and now Han Tingting and another girl were sitting on the sofa in the middle, singing a popular boy band song.

Dong Yang found a sofa at the edge and sat down, drinking the drink she bought on the way. Bai Lu sat next to Dong Yang, wanting to sing with her, and was thinking about how to make Dong Yang agree.

Gu Nian looked around silently. Xu Dongyang’s sofa was not big and there was no room left, so she could only find another sofa to sit on.

The long afternoon was filled with fun and laughter in the box.

"Goddess, let me order a song for you!" a boy shouted to Dong Yang.

Dong Yang was stunned: "Ah? I don't sing..."

She is usually very easy-going, can take a joke, and can pick up on a joke. She is neither aloof nor icy, which is why she is popular.

Everyone loves Xu Dongyang.

"Sing, sing!"

Everyone started to cheer, it was hard to refuse such a kind invitation.

"Well then..." She was a little helpless, "Don't order something too difficult."

"Okay!"

Many people who were originally looking at their phones suddenly became alert.

Xu Dongyang sings. I haven’t heard her sing since the first grade of junior high school. I have only heard her play the violin. Her voice is so beautiful, so her singing must be good, right?

Gu Nian is also one of those who are looking forward to it.

Dong Yang didn't change her seat on the sofa, so everyone asked her to sing in the middle. So she went to the middle, took the microphone, and found a slow song on the screen. She breathed a sigh of relief and sang along with the melody.

……

"Like" is a very wonderful emotion.

It's like walking in the fog for a long distance, and then because of something, a certain scene, it suddenly becomes clear and you realize that this person is so shining.

Gu Nian didn't realize it at this time. She just felt that Xu Dongyang was very charming when he sang under the spotlight. The song was very nice. She searched it on her phone and listened to it. Many people had sung it before, but she felt that none of them sang it as well as Xu Dongyang.

Nothing feels right.

On the bus going home, she looked at the men's hospital and the advertisement for painless abortion behind the seat in front of her, as well as the various life events in the car, and then turned to the window.

She thought, it would be great if she could hear Xu Dongyang sing a few more times.

Extra: Winter Sun (V)

At this birthday party, Gu Nian added Xu Dongyang on WeChat.

Xu Dongyang’s profile picture is a kitten. His most recent circle of friends contains a photo of him and Bai Lu going to a concert, and before that is a photo of him and two beauties abroad.

Gu Nian envied these brilliant people. At least, at her age, when she had never been on a plane, she had already experienced how big the world was.

She could only sigh.

She clicked on Xu Dongyang's profile picture to zoom in on the cat. She suddenly became curious about a person, and this person turned out to be a girl.

The fingers touched, and the action was quick, and the words "You tapped 'Xu Dongyang'" popped up in the message bar.

Gu Nian: "..."

awkward.

Rubbish new feature.

【Xu Dongyang】:Yes.

[Gu Nian]: Sorry, I clicked too fast.

【Xu Dongyang】:Oh, it’s okay.

The conversation seemed to end there.

Gu Nian held the phone in her hands, feeling restless. It would have been fine if the conversation hadn't started, but once it started, she wanted to... chat for a while longer.

She racked her brains:

"Is this your cat?"

Xu Dongyang: “Well, it’s called sesame.”

"so cute."

“Smiley face/It’s super cute.”

Pretty, good personality, many friends, excellent grades, wealthy family, and a cat.

Gu Nian felt that she probably needed to look up to Xu Dongyang. Junior high school students are all a little arrogant, but in front of such a person, no one could be arrogant.

After thinking for a long time, she couldn't think of anything to continue the conversation, so the conversation ended with a "good night".

Flag-raising ceremony on Monday.

The students lined up in order of height, and Bai Lu stood on tiptoe very cunningly, and stood behind Dong Yang. This was actually very tiring, because the teacher had obsessive-compulsive disorder, and every time she passed by, she would check whether the heights in the queue were increasing in order, so as not to affect the "class appearance", so Bai Lu stood on tiptoe very hard, and the teacher stood beside her for a long time, and she was so tired that her whole legs were shaking.

"Last week, the classes that received the mobile red flag were..."

The teacher went to the back.

Bailu quietly took a step forward, almost burying her face in Dongyang's hair:

"hey-hey."

"what?"

"No, nothing."

"Be careful," Dong Yang whispered, "The teacher is behind us."

There will be no mobile red flags this week, and anyone caught violating the rules will definitely be punished as an example to others.

"I'm watching." Bai Lu stretched out her hand and put her arm around Dong Yang's waist. "Your waist seems to have become thinner."

"Maybe your arms have grown longer," Dong Yang whispered, "Okay, really stop talking."

Dongyang was afraid that Bailu would be caught, and he also had a bit of an idol aura. It was tiring to bear this aura and expectations, and he was even embarrassed to violate the rules, for fear of disappointing the teacher's love.

Bai Lu held him for a while longer, still unsatisfied. Only when she heard the head teacher's voice from behind did she reluctantly let go.

I really want to... hold you like this forever.

Bai Lu looked at the palm of her hand and thought to herself that she must pursue Xu Dongyang in the future.

She knew Dongyang's family situation, at least her parents would not be an obstacle to them.

Dongyang, you should like girls, right?

She couldn't figure it out, but she just hoped that parents could have as much influence on their children as possible.

My thoughts... definitely couldn't be hidden from Sister Ruan Qian.

She is now too embarrassed to go to Dongyang's house to play.

After the flag-raising ceremony, each class returned to the classroom to prepare for the first class.

The breaks between classes in the second year of junior high school were filled with noise.

A few boys were playing with basketballs in the back. Although their basketballs would be confiscated if the teacher saw them, they still enjoyed it.

Until a basketball flew from the sky and hit Xu Dongyang's desk. Dongyang was just coming back with a water bottle, and the books on the desk fell to the ground.

Bai Lu next to him immediately got angry and glared at the group of boys:

"What the hell are you doing?"

The boy came over to pick up the ball and apologized repeatedly.

But Gu Nian saw it clearly.

She just happened to see that this boy deliberately hit the ball towards Xu Dongyang's table, and he was also the boy who often asked Xu Dongyang questions.

"Sorry, I'll help you pick it up." The boy said, secretly glancing at Xu Dongyang.

Dong Yang's lips were pressed into a straight line. She was very particular about tidying up her books, the order was always fixed, and she put a lot of thought into it every time.
