Chapter 140: Fell asleep together

Fearing another surprise attack, Yu Yu quickly packed up his things and left with Xu Cheng.

As if affected by what just happened, she and he moved some distance apart, one in front of the other.

The gaps between the tiny clouds were coated with a layer of gold by the sunlight, the edges were ambiguous, real and unreal, and the clouds turned a dim color.

Yu Yu has short legs and a slow stride, so she takes small steps. Xu Cheng pushes the bike much faster than her.

In order to take her speed into consideration, he deliberately stopped and waited for her for a while.

The silly little boy was clutching the strap of his schoolbag, looking down at the tip of his shoes, and bumped into his back unexpectedly.

"What are you thinking about..."

Xu Cheng rubbed his shoulders.

"Yes, I'm sorry..." Yu Yu said apologetically.

She was too embarrassed to look at him. Her ears and neck were hot. She turned her head away and pretended to look at the list of high school entrance examination results posted at the door.

Xu Cheng followed her gaze and looked at the big red list with large gold letters that were very dazzling.

"No. 3 Middle School only got the third place in the city this year, while the top two places were taken by Bilingual Middle School and No. 14 Middle School. The school must be very angry. This year's summer make-up classes are probably a sign. The strength of our third grade class this year will definitely be much greater than the previous one."

Yu Yu didn't think it was as complicated as he thought. She browsed through the names on the high school entrance examination list. Some of the people on the list had been her opponents in the debate competition, and she had a particularly clear impression of them.

Have these people graduated yet?

This time next year, our names will also be posted here...

She suddenly felt that time was passing by in a flash.

It seems like I was drawing the "52 Hertz" blackboard newspaper with Xu Cheng yesterday. In the blink of an eye, we are already in the third year of junior high school...

The two of them walked out of the school gate. She looked at Xu Cheng's back in front of her and suddenly felt a little hesitant.

What will happen in the future?

"Xu Cheng..."

Rarely, she took the initiative to call Xu Cheng's name.

She shouted it subconsciously, and by the time she came to her senses and wanted to stop it, it was too late.

To her surprise, she didn't seem to hate the feeling of his name coming out of her mouth.

"What's wrong?"

An orange halo sprinkled on his head, the boy's hair tips moved slightly in the wind, and the entire endless street became his background.

“No, nothing…”

The evening breeze dispels some of the summer heat, caresses the skin, and brings a hint of coolness.

Xu Cheng thought that she might have some growing pains and was too embarrassed to speak up, so she ordered two cups of mango sago at a roadside milk tea shop.

"Hey, 70% sugar, less ice."

He pushed the milk tea into Yu Yu's hands. Yu Yu did not refuse. She held it in her two little hands like a squirrel holding a nut, put it to her mouth and took a sip. It had a sour and sweet grapefruit taste, refreshing and smooth.

They walked and drank at a slow pace, with a bicycle between them .

"Did you just... have something to say?"

"No……"

Yu Yu took a few nibbles of the straw and looked to the right.

"You must be lying. According to research by criminal investigation experts, when people lie, their eyes will subconsciously look to the right and their muscles will contract, so you bit the straw."

Yu Yu looked at Xu Cheng in shock. She didn't expect that he knew all this. She was hit on all of this.

In fact, Xu Cheng was just talking nonsense. He knew that something must have happened to Yu Yu, so he told her about her obvious physical reaction just now.

"Dazed again."

"I, I just want to ask you... after graduating from junior high school... can we still be friends?"

"Why are you asking such a question all of a sudden?"

"There are many outstanding high schools in Jinghai. You and Zhou Zhou will definitely go to the same one... but I'm not sure if you will go to another high school..."

"Why? Your grades are so good, just apply for the same one."

"Our class teacher talked to me before and said that some high schools would buy students, so..."

She didn't finish her words, but Xu Cheng already understood what was going on. It was very normal for high schools to compete for students. In order to get good seedlings, they would promise benefits and even agree to help arrange jobs for parents.

"Don't think about it. It's too early to think about this kind of thing now. Don't worry about it. There is still a year left. Who can predict what will happen in a year?"

"But no matter what, at least we can always be friends until we go to college."

"Huh?"

Yu Yu looked at him in confusion, "Why?"

"Because before college, we must have been in the same city, and our homes weren't far away. If we could always see each other, we could always be friends."

Yu Yu felt much more at ease. She would be relieved if they could still be friends in high school. By the time she graduated from high school, she would be a grown-up girl. She would be brave enough to have enough courage to keep the people she cherished.

Of course, if the 18-year-old her wiped her tears and said to the 14-year-old her, "I'm sorry, 14-year-old me, I still didn't do it, and I'm still a coward."

Then forgive her.

Even though Yu Yu said no, Xu Cheng still sent her back home.

When he said goodbye to the girl, he seemed to see a layer of shackles tightly wrapped around her.

They can go home together after school, but it is difficult for them to meet each other when going to school.

Xu Cheng slipped out of the classroom, went to the door of Class 3, and asked a familiar girl to help call Yu Yu out.

He waited in the corridor. The hot wind blowing through the hall was stuffy, and the iron railings felt like red-hot charcoal. It burned his hands and hurt when he touched them.

Yu Yu came out quickly, and seemed afraid that other students would notice her talking to Xu Cheng, so she asked hesitantly.

"Are you looking for me, Xu Cheng? What's wrong?"

Xu Cheng handed her the paper ball in his hand.

"This is for you."

"What?"

"What? A love letter, of course."

"ah?!"

Yu Yu was shocked. She stood on tiptoe and raised her arms high, as if she was a loyal nun who saw something unclean and was about to throw the paper ball down from the building.

"Don't throw it, don't throw it, I'm just kidding..."

Xu Cheng quickly stopped her hand.

"I'm going to take a nap here. You can find me here after school. This way I won't have to go to other classes again, and what happened yesterday won't happen again."

“I see…”

Yu Yu also opened the paper ball and saw the contents on it. It was indeed a map drawn with the school as the framework, and he had marked a special mark in a corner.

Weird Xu Cheng...

After school, she packed her schoolbag and found her "treasure" by following the instructions on the note, as if she was playing a childish treasure hunt game.

Xu Cheng was lying under a lush willow tree, surrounded by shrubs and bushes. The grass on the ground had just sprouted fluffy young leaves . The wind occasionally blew the willow branches gently, and a few birds were chirping and playing nearby.

Girls also have random thoughts and some interesting ideas.

Is this the reward I get for completing the game?

She bent down, raised her arms, and tucked up the hair that fell on her temples, looking at her reward curiously.

Xu Cheng was sleeping soundly, like a sleepy bird, smacking his lips from time to time.

She had never seen him so interesting.

Without waking him, I tried lying on the grass next to him.

The grass was soft, and although it was under the shade of a tree, it didn't feel cold. The summer sun made the entire land warm.

So she fell asleep too, and slept very soundly, with all the stress gone.

When I woke up, everything was pitch black in front of me, and I immediately realized that night had fallen.

The night sky is beautiful, the distant stars are shining like tiny tears.

She rubbed her eyes and sat up, and found that Xu Cheng had woken up at some point and was squatting beside her, looking up at the starry sky.

“Isn’t it beautiful?”
