Chapter 2: Boy, here I come! Four
I climbed down the wall and stood at the entrance of St. John's to adjust my school uniform. What a pity! I didn't even have a chance to say a word to An Yixuan, and I didn't even have a good look around St. John's. Who told me that my test score was one point short? I walked away, muttering to myself indignantly.
"Ah, Xizi, why are you here?" Just when I turned the corner to go back to school, I ran into Xun Yiran! She looked at me in surprise and asked.
"Uh, I was just strolling around after lunch. What a coincidence, what are you doing here?" I touched my head and quickly thought of an excuse.
Xun Yiran looked behind me, tilted her head and said, "I was planning to go to the snack shop next to St. John's to buy some bubble gum. There's no strawberry flavor left near our school. What did you have for lunch?"
"Well, I just had a quick bite near St. John's. If you want to go buy some bubble gum, I'll accompany you." Anyway, I didn't want to go back to school yet. All I was thinking about was St. John's.
Xun Yiran took my hand and walked towards St. John: "It's been a long time since we two have been out together like this. You ate lunch alone without asking me. I didn't know you liked to eat here before. Didn't you always say that there was food in front of your school, so why not go so far to eat?"
"You have to change your taste once in a while, just like you. You don't like going out either, and you're afraid of getting tanned in the sun. So why do you run so far to buy bubble gum?" There's no way. Knowing Xun Yiran's true character, I just can't like her.
"Sakiko is my good friend? Stop joking. I just looked for her because I had no one to accompany me. She is not as tall, thin or white as me. Only when she stands with me can my beauty be highlighted!" Xun Yiran 's harsh words still make me feel chilled and angry when I think of them today. I shook off her hand that was holding mine.
"Xizi, what's wrong with you?" Xun Yiran looked at me with an innocent expression and wide eyes.
"It's okay. It's too hot. We'll sweat if we hold hands." I said impatiently. The sun was indeed very strong. Fortunately, I applied sunscreen. I never want to experience the feeling of being tanned into a hermaphrodite again.
"St. John's is so beautiful. The gate is so magnificent, like a palace." Xun Yiran looked at the vermilion gate of St. John's with envy.
"St. John's is the only high school in the city that has a place in the international community. Of course it's beautiful, and it's even more beautiful inside." I stopped talking immediately. I couldn't let her know that I had been to St. John's.
"Have you been there ? St. John's has very strict access control. How did you get in?" Xun Yiran really knew how to grasp the key points.
"I've never been in there, but I have a close friend who is a student at St. John's, and I heard everything from her." I replied with a smile. "Sorry, Lingling, I have to use you as a scapegoat again."
"So that's how it is, Xizi, did I do something to make you angry? I always feel that you treat me differently than before. Don't you want to be friends with me?" Xun Yiran asked, lowering her head. She bit her lip, as if she would cry at any time.
I looked around and saw that there were still a lot of people in the canteen at the school gate during lunch break. I didn't want to be petty here, and I couldn't say that I traveled back from 10 years ago and thought you were not a good person. So I had to pat her shoulder and comfort her: "No, it's just that I feel that the pressure of studying in high school is too great, and other things should be put aside. I just want to study hard, and I may have neglected you. Sorry."
"So that's how it is. Let's study hard together and get into our ideal university together. Maybe we'll be in the same class then!" Xun Yiran said excitedly.
"Yeah, we were in college together, but your true nature is exposed..." I muttered to myself. We were admitted to the same university, but in different majors. The funniest thing is that I was worried about her and cared for her every day at first, until one day I overheard her and others laughing at me, and then I really saw her clearly.
"Hey, Xizi, do you have someone you like?" Xun Yiran suddenly asked this question out of the blue.
"Ah? No!" I was surprised and immediately denied it.
"Oh, actually it's normal to have someone you like." Xun Yiran blinked at me, as if she had something more to say.
I looked away guiltily. She couldn't possibly know anything. According to the original development, An Yixuan and I were together only in college. According to the current development, she still didn't know that I knew An Yixuan. No, she didn't know An Yixuan at all.
"We should focus on studying and stop having random thoughts. You ask me this, do you have someone you like?"
"Of course I don't have any either, hehe, we are good sisters, that's why I care about you. Wow, there are so many flavors of bubble gum here. You like apple flavor, I'll buy some more." Xun Yiran smiled at me very gently, and then picked bubble gum excitedly.
"Aren't you going to buy strawberries? Just buy what you want. I don't really like eating these things. Time is running out. Let's buy them quickly so we can go back to class." I looked at my watch and there were still ten minutes before class started.
Xun Yiran quickly picked out a few and went to pay, then she opened one of them and handed it to me. I reluctantly took a few bites and blew a few bubbles. It was so childish. I had played with it for three years and had had enough, but Xun Yiran was blowing bubbles with great interest.
"Xizi, we have such a good relationship and can share everything. If we like the same person, you will give it to me, right?" Xun Yiran took my hand again.
"Haha, why don't you give it to me?" I sneered, "You are better and prettier than me."
"No way, you are both excellent and beautiful." Xun Yiran blushed and said angrily.
I thought she was very pretentious and didn't want to say much to her. Xun Yiran also tactfully shut up.
