Chapter 16: Simple
The first snow of 2002 came later than usual.
In the early spring of this year, the legendary Hogwarts in the wizarding world unveiled its mysterious veil, and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" was released in theaters, becoming the beginning of youthful memories for countless people.
At that time, Xu Cheng and Lin Wanzhou were 10 years old and became fourth-grade elementary school students.
After entering the Experimental Primary School, the two were assigned to the same class.
Lin Wanzhou's popularity is still the same as it was in kindergarten. Because of his cute appearance, pleasant personality, and warmth like a little sun, he is very popular in the class and is welcomed by many classmates.
Moreover, as a representative of the Chinese class, she has excellent grades.
Compared with her, Xu Cheng's grades are very average and he is just average in the class.
Of course, he did this on purpose.
As we all know, if you learn a little bit of the knowledge learned in elementary school, there will be basically no difference in your grades.
If you think back to your classmates who did well in elementary school, you will think of a large group of good students, but in junior high and high school, you can only remember one or two top students who were like eccentrics.
So Xu Cheng gave up the idea of pretending to be a top student in elementary school. It was pointless to pretend if he couldn't do it.
Moreover, he knew that getting 58 points first and 61 points later was much better than getting 100 points first and 98 points later. In order to prevent himself from pretending to be cool in elementary school and then failing in middle school, he deliberately held back a little in every exam, controlling his effort to just pass , so his grades were just average in the class.
In addition, because of the teacher's learning assistance policy, students with poor academic performance can become deskmates with good students. With this, he successfully sat at the same desk with Lin Wanzhou for four years...
[I want to hold your hand like this and never let go]
[Can love always be pure and without sadness?]
[I want to take you cycling]
[I want to watch baseball with you]
[No worries like this]
【Keep walking while singing】
"Wake up!"
The earphones that had been plugged in all night were unplugged. Xu Cheng opened his eyes dazedly. Before he regained consciousness, he felt a corner of the quilt being lifted up, and a pair of cold little hands covered his burning chest.
"hiss!"
The strong temperature difference stimulated Xu Cheng's whole body. He was no longer sleepy. He propped himself up and looked at the opposite side. "Lin Wanzhou, you murdered your husband so early in the morning?"
"Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense are you talking about." Lin Wanzhou, who was standing beside the bed, pinched Xu Cheng's arm lightly and took out the earphones from his ears. Seeing that the iPod was still playing, she put one earphone in his ear.
"Simple Love?" She swayed her head gently to the rhythm of the music, her brown hair swaying in the air as she hummed softly.
"I want to love simply."
In 2002, Milk Tea Lun had been in the industry for two years.
Q: How popular was he at that time?
Answer: Warcraft was released in 2002, and he was asked to compose the theme song "Orcs", which was included in the album "Nine Dimensions" released in 2002.
Xu Cheng rubbed his eyes and looked at the beautiful fourth-grade girl in front of him. She was wearing thick clothes, a light pink down jacket with a cute stuffed rabbit sewn on her sleeve.
Compared to four years ago, Lin Wanzhou has grown a lot, and one can still vaguely see her enviable body proportions and the subtle curve faintly visible in front of her white sweater.
"Hurry up and get dressed, Xu Cheng. It's snowing heavily outside. It's so beautiful in all the white. I wonder if we can see any rime."
"Rime" is a fourth-grade Chinese text that describes the unique and magnificent scenery beside the Songhua River. Ever since Lin Wanzhou finished learning this text, he has been obsessed with this wonderful sight.
"How could it be? Jinghai City is located in the south, so the temperature is not low enough. Besides, it's early spring now. I'm afraid you can only see such a scene in the early morning in some mountainous areas." Xu Cheng explained to her.
After hearing this, Lin Wanzhou stuck out her tongue playfully.
“I see…”
"Okay, okay, get out of here. I need to get dressed."
After packing up, the two children walked out of the community together.
The fine snow was still falling, and there was a hazy feeling under the early morning sunlight. The floating snow on the ground had not yet been compacted. The two children's little feet stepped on it, making a "crunching" sound, leaving two long lines of footprints behind them.
Lin Wanzhou turned her head to look at the boy next to her. Xu Cheng was only slightly taller than her now. He was wrapped in a black down jacket, and his face looked very fair.
Xu Cheng met her gaze.
"Why are you looking at me?"
“I see you…”
Lin Wanzhou turned her head and said, "It seems quite good-looking."
As the saying goes, there are no ugly men, only lazy men. Xu Cheng has had the thinking of an adult since he was a child. He pays attention to his image and hygiene. Coupled with his mature dressing style, he naturally stands out among a group of dirty boys.
Listening to Lin Wanzhou's praise, Xu Cheng smiled and felt his hands were frozen by the cold wind.
But he did not take out the gloves that He Ying had packed for him in his schoolbag, but instead covered his hands with air.
"Hiss... It's so cold."
Lin Wanzhou blinked and looked at him, "Eh? You don't have gloves?"
"I forgot to bring it." Xu Cheng lied with a wry smile, and exhaled a puff of white mist, "Do you know why the more you blow on your hands, the colder they get?"
"Why?"
"Because the heat taken away by evaporation is greater than the heat absorbed by the hot air blown out of your mouth, your hands will become colder and colder. You see, my hands are getting colder and colder now."
"Oh, no wonder..." Lin Wanzhou raised her head and tucked her hair. "Xu Cheng, there is nothing you don't understand about this strange knowledge, but why don't you focus on studying? You should know that there is a path to a mountain of knowledge through diligence, and there is a boat to a boundless sea of learning through hard work. You are so smart, if you study hard, your grades will definitely be much better than they are now..."
"Hiss!" Seeing that Lin Wanzhou had misunderstood his meaning and was lecturing him to study hard, Xu Cheng had no choice but to cover his hands with his head, and continued to blow air on his hands, pretending to be in even more pain, "Huh! My hands are so painful from the cold, it's getting colder..."
"I really can't do anything with you." Lin Wanzhou took off her gloves, stretched out her soft and warm little hands and held Xu Cheng's hands tightly, looking at him with concern, "Are you feeling warmer?"
Xu Cheng grinned, "It's warmer now."
Lin Wanzhou frowned and looked at the long distance ahead. "Then I'll lend you my gloves."
Xu Cheng stared at the cotton gloves handed to him for a few seconds and suggested.
"Let's do this." He took only one of the two gloves, "We each wear only one."
"What about the other hand?"
"Put your other hand here." Xu Cheng stretched out his left hand, took Lin Wanzhou's right hand, and put it into his pocket. The two hands were put together, with their fingers intertwined, providing warmth to each other.
"Hmph, let's do this for now." Lin Wanzhou's face felt slightly hot, but he didn't pull his hand back. He took two steps forward and added, "Until we get to the vicinity of the school! We can't let other students see us..."
At this age, she is becoming more and more shy, so of course she is worried that her classmates will talk about her.
"I know."
