the next day.
It's another good day, the temperature is above 15℃, which makes people feel very cozy and comfortable.
The morning sun was not blazing, and there was a faint freshness in the air. It was just a quarter after seven, and Zi Xin had breakfast early and left the house.
Walking to the bus stop, Zi Xin stopped, raised his head and studied the route map and bus schedule carefully.
Not long after, a white bus slowly stopped at the bus station. Zi Xin looked at the license plate number and confirmed that it was the bus she wanted to take, so she hurriedly jumped on the bus.
There were not many people on the bus, mostly students who got up early to attend classes and some office workers. The car was very quiet, everyone was busy fiddling with their phones or carefully reading the newspapers in their hands. Time flowed slowly in the quiet car. About half an hour later, the bus stopped at the gate of Jinfeng College.
Zi Xin got out of the car, breathed a sigh of relief, raised her wrist to look at her watch, the time was a quarter past seven. She raised her face and smiled slightly, then began to look at the white building in front of her.
This is really a college with a very elegant and beautiful architectural style. The white building emits a sparkling light in the sun. Under the sunlight, the four big characters "Jinfeng College" seem to be shrouded in a layer of sacred light.
Zi Xin secretly admired in her heart that this was indeed an aristocratic college that everyone yearned for. The architectural style of the college itself was so pleasing to the eye and unique. When she was immersed in this beautiful vision, a crisp car horn instantly pulled her wandering thoughts back to reality.
Zi Xin focused her eyes and noticed that a black luxury car was driving past her quickly, and the parking spaces around the school gate were also full of various luxury cars. She subconsciously stuck out her tongue and thought to herself that the rumors were not exaggerated. She had heard a lot of news about Jinfeng College before she came here to study. People would always talk about this college that represents luxury and nobility from time to time.
Rumor has it that Jinfeng College is a famous aristocratic college, and more than 99% of the students who can come here to study are from wealthy families. This can be seen from the luxurious and expensive cars parked at the door.
After entering the school and walking through the spacious and flat playground, Zi Xin soon entered the teaching building complex. It was much quieter inside the teaching building than outside. Zi Xin slowed down his pace and finally breathed a sigh of relief. His face, which had just turned slightly red due to his urgency, slowly returned to its white color.
Just as she was thinking about how Class A should get there, a female voice suddenly came from beside her: "Classmate, please tell me...how do we get there?"
Zi Xin turned around and a lovely smiling face came into her eyes.
The girl in front of me had long hair, was very petite, looked a little thin and frail, and had big watery eyes that seemed to be able to speak.
At this moment, she was smiling faintly at Zi Xin. Because of this smile, a shallow dimple appeared at the corner of her mouth, making her look very cute and kind.
"Are you also a new student here to register?" Zi Xin asked with a smile.
The girl nodded, then extended her right hand to Zi Xin in a friendly manner: "Hello, my name is Yang Liu." She tilted her head slightly, looking a little playful.
Zi Xin was slightly stunned for a moment, then quickly stretched out his right hand and gently held the hand that the girl across from him extended: "Hello, my name is Chen Zi Xin, I'm also a freshman, and I'm in the same class as you, nice to meet you."
An obvious surprise flashed in the eyes of the girl named Yang Liu: "Oh my God! We are in the same class, what a coincidence!" Her eyes blinked like bright stars in the night, and the expression on her face looked a little exaggerated, but not annoying.
Zi Xin couldn't help but laugh out loud. This girl named Yang Liu was really a lively and lovely girl. With her presence in the future life, study life would never be too boring.
Class A was at the innermost end of the corridor on the second floor. In a short time, they reached the classroom door.
At this time, there were already 2\u002F3 students sitting in the classroom of Grade 1 Class A. They were all wearing beautiful and gorgeous clothes. They were obviously children from wealthy families and lived a life of luxury.
Zi Xin and Yang Liu found two seats next to the window. As soon as they sat down, a middle-aged man wearing glasses walked into the classroom.
Zi Xin raised her head and secretly looked at the male teacher on the podium. He should be their head teacher. He looked very elegant and gentle.
Sure enough, the male teacher coughed lightly while standing on the podium, and successfully attracted the attention of all the students below the podium.
The school bell rang at this time, and the time was exactly eight o'clock.
The male teacher's voice was very gentle. He looked around at the students in the classroom and then spoke: "First of all, welcome everyone to our Jinfeng College. Let me introduce myself. I am your homeroom teacher Jin Zeming. In the next few years, I will accompany you to study and improve together."
As soon as he finished speaking, Zi Xin applauded enthusiastically, but in contrast, the other students were not very interested in his speech. They just clapped symbolically and stopped immediately.
The male teacher named Jin Zeming didn't care about it. He looked around again, his gaze briefly resting on Zi Xin's face, a fleeting gleam of relief flashed in his eyes.
Then, Mr. Jin Zeming coughed again and continued, "Then, I would like to ask all the students present to introduce themselves one by one." Jin Zeming paused, "Well... the girl with a ponytail sitting by the window in the second row will go first."
The girl with a ponytail sitting by the window in the second row? Was he talking about herself? Zi Xin's eyes widened in surprise. Yang Liu gently touched Zi Xin with his arm: "Zi Xin, the teacher is asking you to come forward and introduce yourself!"
"Oh, okay...ok." Zi Xin came back to his senses, steadied his breathing secretly, then stood up gracefully and walked towards the podium.
Then, Zi Xin's pleasant voice rang out in the air——
"Hello everyone, my name is Chen Zixin, and I'm honored to study at Jinfeng College." She paused here, her clear big eyes looking at the students below the podium, her eyes full of sincerity.
Sure enough, as soon as she finished speaking, she attracted the attention of the whole class.
All the students turned their eyes to the podium. On the podium, there was a girl in a plain white cotton skirt. She had a pretty face, fair and translucent skin, long, curly and thick eyelashes, like the most beautiful butterfly wings, and her big eyes were clear and bright, filled with dazzling light like broken diamonds.
She is really a pretty, beautiful and lovable girl.
At this moment, her face was slightly flushed because of shyness, which added a bit of moving charm. She confidently responded to the gazes of the students below the stage. After a pause, she continued: "I have a cheerful personality and hope to become friends with every student here. If you need any help in the future, just call me for help. Please take care of me!" After she finished speaking, she made a standard 90-degree bow to the audience, looking very cute. Then, she walked down the podium calmly.
Zi Xin quickly walked back to her seat. Yang Liu hurriedly stood up to make way for Zi Xin. She quietly made a victory "V" sign to Zi Xin, then lowered her voice and whispered in Zi Xin's ear: "Zi Xin, you are really great!"
She turned her head and responded with a gentle smile. Then she sat down and looked out the window. The sky outside was a deep blue, with a few cotton candy-like white clouds floating lazily above the blue sky.
Everything is so beautiful.
Just like the rising sun, everything is just beginning.
The morning passed quickly.
As soon as the bell rang at noon, Yang Liu couldn't wait to pull Zi Xin's hand and said, "Zi Xin, let's go eat together."
"Yeah, okay." Zi Xin nodded gently in response to her, then followed her out of the classroom.
As soon as the two of them walked into the corridor, they unexpectedly found that the corridor was extremely lively. Everyone was in high spirits and seemed to be discussing some topic enthusiastically. Everyone looked extremely excited.
Zi Xin was a little surprised. She didn't know what they were discussing so enthusiastically and was really curious.
She held her breath and listened carefully to the discussions of the girls around her.
"Hey, do you know, Xia Boran is back!" a girl in a pink dress said excitedly.
"What? Young Master Xia is back from abroad. Is this true?" A big-eyed girl next to him looked incredulous and seemed about to faint from excitement!
"Of course it's true! Don't you know? Just this morning, this news has spread like wildfire in the school! And do you know? For some reason, Young Master Xia did not enter the advanced class specially prepared for outstanding students and nobles at Jinfeng Academy as everyone expected, but walked directly into the door of an ordinary class!"
"Ah? Young Master Xia didn't go to the advanced class. Why is that?" a tall girl asked in surprise.
"Who knows? But his charm is endless! In just one morning, he has already taken the entire Jinfeng College by storm! It is said... it is said that even the school's long-lost chairman has condescended to visit his class many times!" At this point, the girl in the pink skirt was so excited that she was about to shed tears. She clasped her hands together and placed them under her chin, her eyes full of longing.
"Oh my god! When can I meet this handsome and mysterious young man?"
…
"Zi Xin, Zi Xin!" Zi Xin was listening attentively to the discussions of the girls around her and was stunned.
"What's wrong?" Zi Xin was a little surprised when she saw Yang Liu's crazy expression. But soon, she understood that Yang Liu had quickly become one of the many fans of this mysterious beautiful boy "Xia Bairan".
"Oh my God! That Xia Boran is really too...charming!" Yang Liu used the word "too" three times in a row to describe him, and then his eyes revealed infinite admiration.
"Zi Xin, Zi Xin, do you know? This Xia Boran..." So, amid the chirping sounds of the willows, Zi Xin heard a lot of gossip about Xia Boran.
For example, half a month ago, Xia Bairan had just returned to Xiachuan City after completing special education arranged by his family abroad. Now he entered Jinfeng College for an adjustment period.
For example, because he didn't want to be treated differently by others, he kept a low profile in school and would rather study in an ordinary class than be assigned to an advanced class.
For example, due to the special protection given to him by the Xia Group, he has always been the most mysterious and handsome prince in Jinfeng College.
Along the way, Zi Xin's ears were filled with the three words "Xia Bairan" and different versions of news about this mysterious young man. She frowned slightly, and seemed to be somewhat infected by the enthusiasm around her, thus developing a little curiosity about this mysterious young man.
What kind of person is Xia Boran? Why can he attract the attention of everyone around him like a magnet with fatal attraction?
However, the answer was soon revealed at the freshman opening ceremony in the afternoon...
The freshman opening ceremony was held in the auditorium next to the school teaching building.
After lunch, Zi Xin was dragged to the auditorium by Yang Liu early. After they walked in, the two chose a seat in the middle of the front row and sat down quietly. Then, Zi Xin began to look around the auditorium.
This was a large auditorium. On the stage, the big red curtain was closed, which looked mysterious and noble. The seats in the auditorium were all leather sofas, which Zi Xin had never seen in her previous school. She secretly stuck out her tongue, and once again in her heart she was filled with deep admiration for this Jinfeng College full of luxury and nobility.
Soon, other students arrived and the auditorium suddenly became extremely noisy with whispers rising and falling.
"Zi Xin, do you know who will be speaking on stage today?" Yang Liu blinked mysteriously at Zi Xin.
Zi Xin shook his head, confusion in his eyes.
Yang Liu couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart: "That's it..." She suddenly stopped talking, and the surroundings also suddenly became quiet.
The silence came so quickly that it caught people off guard, and Zi Xin didn't even have time to retract her surprised expression.
At this moment, everyone's attention was drawn to the handsome boy in a black dress on the stage, and some girls even sobbed slightly because of excitement.
Zi Xin stared blankly at the figure on the stage. She saw a boy in a black suit walking on the stage. From a distance, his tall, thin and upright figure was particularly eye-catching. The light shone softly on his body, emitting a dazzling brilliance.
Zi Xin heard Yang Liu beside her softly finish the words she had just spoken: "It's him, Xia Boran!" Yang Liu's voice was full of excitement and excitement, and she was even too excited that her voice sounded a little hoarse and trembling.
Xia Boran... So he is Xia Boran...
His eyes were still very cold, revealing his noble attitude inadvertently. Zi Xin's eyes fell on Xia Boran's delicate face, and she was stunned for just a moment...
At this moment, thunderous applause suddenly broke out from the audience. Some girls even shouted excitedly, "Xia Bairan, Xia Bairan!" The sound was loud and rhythmic, and it sounded very majestic.
Zi Xin deeply felt that her heartbeat was once again disturbed by this mysterious and beautiful boy named "Xia Bairan"...
He was so easily disturbed.
It was just like the first time I met him, that unique feeling of being nervous and at a loss, yet filled with joy.
She never expected to meet him again, and what she didn't expect was that he was the mysterious and beautiful boy Xia Boran mentioned by her classmates.
She couldn't help but recall the first time she met him. That amazing feeling, that deep touch to the bottom of her heart, was probably a scene she would never forget in her life... How could she forget that beautiful scene that was like a crystal dream?
She clearly remembered his delicate face like a sculpture, shining softly in the sun. She clearly remembered his eyes as clear as a lake, with such an intoxicating abyss. He stood in the backlight, looking unruly and stern, but it was so easy for people to fall into the inexplicably powerful magnetic field emanating from his body...
She only regarded that encounter as a glimpse of beauty in her life, and kept it in her heart forever. However, she never thought that she and him would have the chance to meet again...
Is this God's arrangement? To arrange for him and her to meet again...
Right here, at this moment, in such a noisy auditorium, she felt as if everything around her was gradually disappearing...
In her eyes, there was only him, only he was alive and vibrant...
Zi Xin just stared blankly at Xia Boran on the stage, oblivious to everything around her. Her abnormal behavior soon attracted the attention of Yang Liu beside her. Yang Liu gently pulled Zi Xin's arm: "Zi Xin, what's wrong with you?"
Under Yang Liu's puzzled gaze, Zi Xin finally came back to her senses. A barely noticeable shyness emerged on her face, so she quickly looked away, using a faint smile to hide her inner throbbing and nervousness at the moment: "No, nothing..." her tone was light.
When she turned her gaze back to the stage, Xia Bairan's speech had already come to an end.
"thank you all!"
It was a very simple closing remark, and the voice was still cold, with just the right amount of politeness. The natural noble temperament and sense of distance made it so difficult for people to approach him.
Although he was so cold and aloof, it did not affect his princely impression in everyone's mind.
After he finished his last sentence, he bowed to the audience in a gentlemanly manner. At this moment, the audience suddenly burst into thunderous applause, shouts and whistles. With his huge influence and incitement, the title of "Prince" really belongs to him, and he deserves it.
His figure quickly disappeared in the background, and only then did Zi Xin reluctantly withdrew her gaze from him. There was a slight sense of loss in her heart, but more of it was joy, a huge joy!
I wonder if he still remembers me when I met him in the garden that day?
No...it would be better if he didn't remember it. She was so reckless and rude that day! God knows, she really didn't want to leave the slightest bad impression in his heart.
The opening ceremony ended with Zi Xin's wandering thoughts. After most of the students in the auditorium had left, Yang Liu next to him pushed Zi Xin, who was still in a daze, with his arm.
"Zi Xin, what are you thinking about?" Yang Liu asked with doubt in her eyes, "Ever since Xia Boran spoke, you seem absent-minded." The expression on her face looked extremely surprised.
"No, no. You think too much..." Zi Xin replied hurriedly. She waved her hand gently, but unfortunately the blush on her face still betrayed the secret in her heart.
Yang Liu stared at her face for a long time without saying anything, but the corners of her mouth slightly raised, the arc getting bigger and bigger, as if she understood. She smiled at Zi Xin mischievously, with a cute dimple: "Zi Xin, are you also beginning to admire and be obsessed with Xia Boran?"
"No, it's not what you think. You think too much." Zi Xin denied it quickly, but the red cloud on her face became more and more intense.
"Isn't it what I thought? Am I really thinking too much? Not necessarily." Yang Liu said jokingly, "Zi Xin, don't be shy. You are so pretty and charming, and your personality is so gentle and lovely. Our beautiful boy will definitely look at you differently. Who knows, he may even have a special liking for you and favor you." She turned her head and looked at Zi Xin, who was blushing, with a tone that was half serious and half joking.
The blush on Zi Xin's face deepened, and she felt her face was burning. She pretended to be angry and said to Yang Liu, "If you say anything else, you'll be dead!" As she said that, she stretched out her hands towards Yang Liu.
"Okay, okay, I won't say anything more." Yang Liu put her hands together and begged for mercy. Then she raised her arm and looked at the watch on her wrist, "Oh, oh no, the time is up!" She looked like something important had happened and was very nervous.
A puzzled look emerged on Zi Xin's face: "Are you in a hurry? Isn't the afternoon free time?" She blinked her clear eyes, and the confusion on her face became more and more serious.
"Hurry, it's really too late." Yang Liu said, and then he pulled Zi Xin's hand and ran quickly.
"Hey, where are we going now?" Zi Xin turned her head to ask Yang Liu who looked anxious beside her, and saw that her fair face turned a little red because of nervousness.
The wind blew gently by her ears, and Zi Xin heard Yang Liu's voice: "We are going to a very good and important place to do a very important thing. Zi Xin, that place will definitely not let you down!"
As Yang Liu spoke, she slyly winked at Zi Xin who was looking puzzled beside her, looking quite mysterious.
A very good and important place? What kind of answer was that? He was actually keeping her in suspense!
Zi Xin was helpless, but she didn't say anything more, just let Yang Liu hold her hand and run. But the lonely and noble figure in her mind did not become blurred because of such a fast run.
The two of them ran hand in hand for a long time, and finally, Yang Liu stopped in front of a classroom.
"arrive!"
She shouted excitedly to Zi Xin beside her.
Because she ran too fast, Zi Xin's breathing was extremely unstable. After she tried to steady her breathing, she asked, "Where are you taking me?"
Yang Liu didn't answer, but just gestured to the classroom in front of her with her eyes.
Zi Xin followed Yang Liu's gaze and looked over. This was the fifth floor near the corridor. On the door of the classroom were several large characters written in bold letters:
"Martial Arts Club".
"What, martial arts club?"
Zi Xin carefully studied the sign above the classroom. After confirming that it was correct, she widened her eyes in surprise and cast a puzzled look at the girl next to her who was eager to try - her expression was excited and joyful.
"You...you're not going to join the martial arts club, are you?"
"Of course." Yang Liu looked sure.
Seeing that Zi Xin was still standing there in a daze, she hurriedly added: "What I mean is, of course I want to join the martial arts club." Her tone was unquestionable, containing a kind of power that could not be changed or reversed.
"Wha...what..."
Zi Xin still found it hard to associate the thin and frail girl in front of him with the words "martial arts club".
In her opinion, a gentle girl like Yang Liu should be more interested in singing or dancing, but...
Wait, something seems wrong.
"So..." Zi Xin swallowed hard before continuing to ask, "Do you mean that you want to drag me to sign up for the martial arts club?" Her question was clearly filled with caution.
"Of course!" She said in a very affirmative tone, and Yang Liu rolled her bright eyes, "Zi Xin, we are good friends, right?" She suddenly changed the subject.
"Yes." Zi Xin nodded, looking very confident.
"So, as a good friend, you will definitely accompany me to join the martial arts club, right?" A bigger smile bloomed on Yang Liu's face, and she looked cunning, as if a trick had succeeded.
"Ah?" Yang Liu's eyes grew bigger and bigger. It was clearly a threatening tone, but it was accompanied by such a cute and bright smile. It was really a bit overwhelming.
While Zi Xin was in a daze, Yang Liu grabbed her hand and said, "Zi Xin, come with me! I really won't let you down."
"Ah...I..." Before Zi Xin could finish the second half of the sentence, Yang Liu pushed her into a classroom with the words "Martial Arts Club" written on it.
With a creaky sound, the door was pushed open heavily. Zi Xin noticed that several people in the classroom stopped their work and looked over in surprise.
Like a temporary actor who appeared on the stage in a hurry but did not memorize the script, Zi Xin's heart suddenly became nervous. She couldn't help feeling uneasy about this action that caught people off guard.
She pursed her lips gently and lowered her head slightly, avoiding everyone's inquiring gazes.
The sweet voice of Yang Liu sounded in his ears: "Brother Ouyang! I'm here! Are you surprised..." Zi Xin noticed that Yang Liu walked quickly to the desk next to the window.
"It's Xiao Liu. Are you also studying at Jinfeng College?" There was a hint of surprise in the boy's tone, but his attitude was friendly. It seemed that the two of them were friends who had known each other for a long time.
"Yes!" Yang Liu nodded heavily, but her tone was very cheerful, "Brother Ouyang, I will also study here in the future, and I will be your junior. I should call you Senior Ouyang." Yang Liu said, blinking playfully, "I came to you to join the martial arts club." She looked very serious. While speaking, she also cutely performed a not-so-standard martial arts move.
The boy was obviously surprised to hear Yang Liu say this. He looked her up and down and suddenly couldn't help laughing out loud: "Xiao Liu, are you sure you want to join our martial arts club?" I'm afraid any normal person would have such an unbelievable reaction.
Yang Liu maintained her previous confident expression and said sincerely: "Of course it's true! How could I joke with you, Brother Ouyang!"
She pouted slightly, looking at the boy in front of her with a wronged look on her face. Her face was a little red because of her anxiety.
"Besides, I...I not only joined the martial arts club by myself, I also brought a friend to join!"
As she spoke, she ran back to Zi Xin, excitedly took Zi Xin's hand, and brought her to Ouyang Xi.
"It's her. She is my good friend Chen Zixin. She joined the martial arts club with me." Yang Liu introduced with a smile.
"Chen Zixin?" Ouyang Xi repeated the name subconsciously. For some reason, at this moment, the air seemed to be filled with a refreshing fragrance. That fragrance was so familiar...
Just like...
It tastes like yesterday...
This gentle and light fragrance once again drew Ouyang Xi's thoughts back to his memories -
Noisy streets.
Fallen Clivia flowers.
The air is gently filled with a faint fragrance.
A girl with eyes as clear as water waves.
Such a strong heartbeat...
That kind of heart-pounding feeling...
All memories seemed to be awakened at that moment.
Ouyang Xi's heart began to beat violently again. He stared blankly at the girl in front of him who was a little shy and lowered her head, and his heart couldn't help but panic.
Could it be her...
Could it really be her...
Could it be that I am so lucky that I can meet her again...
Did she hear the call from her heart? He saw her slowly raising her head...
Eyes met.
A lightning-fast encounter.
At this moment, Ouyang Xi's heart seemed to be hit again!
That feeling instantly spread throughout his body like an electric current...
Because of excessive excitement, his slender fingers trembled slightly...
It's really her!
A faint smile gently blossomed on her face, reflected in his eyes. The sunlight was shining in from the glass window behind him, gently hitting her body. Such a soft arc, shining and dazzling halo danced in front of his eyes. Ouyang Xi could no longer look away...
I really can't move away anymore...
He just stared at the girl in front of him, his eyes full of tenderness and infatuation. He thought that when they first met, his subconscious had already reminded him that she, the girl in front of him, should be the one destined for him!
"Brother Ouyang?" Yang Liu, who was standing next to him, called Ouyang Xi cautiously, which brought his thoughts back to reality.
"Cough cough..." Ouyang Xi raised his hand, bent his fingers and put them to his mouth and coughed gently a few times to cover up his somewhat flustered mind. After sorting out his thoughts, he asked again: "Your name is Chen Zixin, right?" He looked very gentle and his voice was full of tenderness.
Zixin nodded gently and greeted the boy in front of her politely: "Yes, my name is Chen Zixin. Hello, Senior Ouyang. Please take care of me in the future." As she said that, she bowed respectfully towards him, looking very docile.
His smile spread gently, and he said in a soft voice: "Hello, my name is Ouyang Xi, and I'm the leader of the martial arts club." He paused, then asked her, "Xiao Liu just said that you two want to join the martial arts club together, right?" There was an obvious, barely perceptible joy in the boy's eyes.
"Ah?" Zi Xin paused, looking somewhat embarrassed. Zi Xin cast her eyes towards Yang Liu beside her, and her "please" expression came into her eyes. But she really knew nothing about martial arts and had no passion for it...
Zi Xin felt extremely embarrassed. She pursed her lips tightly and struggled fiercely in her heart. After a long while, she finally hardened her heart and decided to sacrifice her life to accompany the gentleman.
"Yes, Senior Ouyang, I want to join the martial arts club with Yang Liu!"
"Okay, welcome to join us!" Ouyang Xi extended his hand towards Zi Xin, "I believe that with your joining, our club will definitely get better and better!"
Looking at the excited expression on Ouyang Xi's face, Zi Xin was slightly stunned, then stretched out her arm: "Thank you, Senior Ouyang, we will definitely do our best, fighting!" She smiled slightly, her eyes sparkling.
"And me, and me! I want to shake hands too!" Yang Liu hurriedly squeezed over from the side and said to Ouyang Xi in a coquettish tone.
"Okay, then let's work hard together in the future!" Ouyang Xi's gentle tone carried a hint of doting.
"Yeah." Yang Liu nodded heavily, her heart filled with great happiness.
She raised her head and looked at Ouyang Xi's handsome face.
This beautiful boy was the boy she had a crush on since childhood, and now he was so close to her, so close that she could clearly hear his steady breathing.
Her heart was pounding. Thinking that she would be able to be so close to the person she loved in the future, the sudden feeling of happiness instantly overwhelmed her.
But, there seems to be something a little bit wrong.
Her brows knitted slightly because of this little thought.
Why did Senior Ouyang look at Zi Xin so gently just now? It seemed that there was also a fleeting warmth in his eyes... That kind of flowing light made people feel lost for no reason...
It was as passionate as the way I looked at him.
Thinking of this, Yang Liu suddenly felt a slight sour feeling in his heart.
Could it be... Could it be that Senior Ouyang likes Zi Xin? But, how is that possible? This is clearly the first time they met...
Thinking of this, her anxious heart was relieved a little, or maybe it was because she was too sensitive. She comforted herself.
This is probably what love is.
A few days passed.
Soon, Yang Liu verified that her worries were not groundless.
Everyone in the martial arts club noticed that Ouyang Xi took good care of Zi Xin and treated her differently.
He always had a smiling face towards her, so gentle. Although he would also smile at herself, it was a different smile.
How to describe that smile? Yang Liu held her cheek, thinking quietly, and that smile was like the most prosperous sunshine in the world, so blazing light and heat that it seemed to have the power to melt everything...
He treats Zi Xin so specially.
For example, when explaining martial arts theory, he would always ask her gently: "Zi Xin, do you understand this move?" Whenever Zi Xin didn't understand something, he would always explain it to her carefully with the greatest patience in the world.
For example, when practicing martial arts in the physical education classroom, his eyes always followed Zi Xin, and his worry was beyond words. In his eyes, she was as precious as an exquisite porcelain doll, and he was afraid that she would make the slightest mistake or get hurt. And every time he saw beads of sweat oozing out of Zi Xin's face, a bottle of cold mineral water would always be delivered to her just at the right time.
So much tenderness and love... He is really the most considerate boy in the world, but the object of his kindness is not me...
Thinking of this, Yang Liu frowned tightly, her heart was filled with a great sense of loss, yet she was helpless.
Zi Xin...she is a very good friend of mine. It seems reasonable for such a beautiful and gentle girl to be cared for and given special care.
Because of the indescribable sadness and grievance in her heart, Yang Liu's complaints seemed inevitable, just like now...
After lunch that day, Zi Xin and Yang Liu rested in the lounge.
When Zi Xin was reading a book intently, he suddenly heard Yang Liu beside him calling his name.
"Zi Xin."
"Um?"
Zi Xin turned her head and saw Yang Liu seemed to be hesitant to speak . This expression had never appeared on her face before, so Zi Xin couldn't help but look a little surprised.
"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Zi Xin put down the book in his hand and touched Yang Liu's forehead worriedly.
"No." Yang Liu shook her head gently, with a hint of sadness in her big eyes.
"Is there really nothing wrong?" Zi Xin looked at her good friend's lonely expression, her delicate brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
"Zi Xin..."
"Hmm?" Zi Xin looked at her and smiled slightly, "Why do you keep calling me by my name like that? If you have something on your mind, just tell me, okay?"
"But……"
"Silly girl, do you need to say 'but' to me?" Zi Xin reached out and touched her hair with a doting smile on his face.
"Yeah." Yang Liu pursed her lips and nodded.
"Well, if you have anything on your mind, just start talking now. I will definitely be a good listener."
"Zi Xin, do you know that I already knew Senior Ouyang when I was very young?" Yang Liu mentioned the name "Ouyang Xi" slowly.
"Really? So you grew up together as childhood sweethearts?" Zi Xin tilted her head and looked at Yang Liu.
Yang Liu nodded affirmatively: "His parents and my parents are business friends. So when I was very young, Brother Ouyang often took me out to play." Yang Liu's eyes became bright and colorful because of the memories. The sparkling charm seemed to indicate that she was already immersed in such beautiful memories.
Zi Xin did not interrupt her, but just watched quietly.
"At that time, I had a deep wish in my heart, which was... I hoped that one day I could become Brother Ouyang's bride." When she said this, Yang Liu's voice was full of longing and expectation. She turned her head and said to Zi Xin word by word, "Zi Xin, I really like Senior Ouyang very much. I have liked him very much since I was very young."
"Yeah." Zi Xin nodded with a smile.
"I really like him very much." Yang Liu repeated the sentence she had just said, emphasizing each word with a decisive tone.
"I know, silly girl!" Zi Xin still smiled and reached out to gently stroke Yang Liu's hair, as if to comfort her emotions.
"But...but I feel like Brother Ouyang doesn't seem to like me..." Yang Liu's voice was full of loss.
"No way...Senior Ouyang takes good care of you." Zi Xin said quickly.
"No, no, that's a different feeling." Yang Liu said "no" twice to interrupt Zi Xin's words, "I know, he always...always treated me as just a sister, I know that. But I really don't want to be just his sister!" Yang Liu's hands clenched into small She pursed her lips tightly, her expression looked a little sad, as if she was about to sob softly.
"Silly girl, he's so nice to you, maybe he likes you and doesn't just treat you as a sister."
"No, he just treats me as his sister. Because he treats you, Zi Xin..."
"But I also have someone I like." Zi Xin quickly interrupted her.
