Chapter 205 Then... Let's Confirm the Relationship
By the end of the year, more and more students started requesting songs.
Most of them were very embarrassing love words. Lin Wanzhou even set the rules:
All the notes confessing love to girls were read by her, and all the notes confessing love to boys were read by Xu Cheng, that is, two "whatevers" .
According to her, she was afraid that the school would think the radio station was too arrogant and would cause trouble for them. As for whether this was the reason or not, Xu Cheng didn't know.
night.
On the bus on the way home, the floating light and shadows outside the window occasionally passed over the faces of the boys and girls.
"I didn't realize that everyone is so romantic. Normally, you only care about studying. I didn't expect that you would be so good at expressing yourself in front of the person you like."
Lin Wanzhou put her shoes against the back of the seat in front of her, leaving a crease on her white shoes. She liked the feeling of the tip of the shoe pressing on her toes.
Xu Cheng seemed to be very confused about romance. "Maybe everyone is a bit reserved and usually acts very serious."
The girl rolled her eyes at him, "...some people just can't get the shit out of their mouths. Let go of my hand. It's been over five minutes today and you're not aware of it at all."
Xu Cheng shamelessly pretended not to hear, turned around, took out a lollipop from his pocket and handed it to Lin Wanzhou.
"Let's make a deal. I'll give you a candy and some time until you can go home."
“Really…”
The girl took it, pouted her pink little mouth, revealing her shiny little canine teeth, and nibbled on the lollipop. It took her a long time to bite through the candy wrapper and tear it off. At this time, she felt very satisfied when she put the lollipop into her mouth.
The sweet taste of strawberry instantly filled her mouth. The girl glanced out the window. The city at night was like a flowing river of lights. Feeling that Xu Cheng's hand seemed a little loose, she took the initiative to put her little hand into his palm, and her slender fingers also held his big hand tighter.
In fact, his hands were already full of sweat, slippery like loaches, but Xu Cheng seemed to be unable to hold them enough and kept holding them tightly.
He was so annoying that he would bully her without stopping.
He also particularly liked the way of holding hands with ten fingers interlocked, and liked to fill the gaps between her fingers with his thick fingers.
As a result, when she returned home, there was no one to hold her hand, and she always felt like something was missing between her fingers.
Thinking of this, the girl seemed to want that feeling again, so she quietly put her fingers between the guy's fingers. He was also very indulgent to her, always spreading his fingers to hold her without saying anything.
"Xu Cheng, you have a performance tomorrow. Are you nervous?"
Tomorrow is the New Year's Day art performance. Although it has been rehearsed many times, the girl still feels a little uneasy.
"Of course I'm nervous, but we were the ones playing at the back. By comparison, Xia Yue must be under a lot more pressure than us."
"Even though I'm hiding in the back, it doesn't affect my nervousness. When I'm nervous, I'll play the notes randomly, and it would be embarrassing if I make a mistake."
"How could that be? No one can tell that you played it wrong. You might be the only one in the audience who understands piano..."
As they were chatting, the car arrived at the station. When getting off the car, Xu Cheng did not let go of her hand, so Lin Wanzhou put her hands in his pockets, as if other passengers would not notice this way.
"You are just trying to cover up your mistakes."
"It's time to get tired of it."
There was a white candy stick hanging on the girl's pink lips. She was sucking on the lollipop in her mouth and her words were unclear.
"Lin Wanzhou, have you finished your candy?"
"A little more."
The girl took the lollipop candy was left on the stick, moist and with a thin string of saliva hanging from it when she took it out of her mouth.
Xu Cheng suddenly thought of the past.
"When you were little, you would ask me to eat the little bit of your lollipop you had left and share it with me."
The girl was embarrassed, her face flushed and she raised her hand to hit him.
"How could such a thing happen? I don't remember anything about it. You must have made it up."
"That's right, I respected you a lot at that time and didn't eat it. Why are you still angry with me because of this?"
Listening to him talk about these past events, I walked into the community. When I passed under the street light, there were twinkling lights in the girl's blinking eyes.
"That's because you didn't like me when you were little. You didn't like me because I was dirty. You deserve to be angry with you. You and I were so close when we were little, but you always pushed me away..."
The girl looked very dissatisfied and started to settle old accounts from her childhood.
"Xu Cheng is just an idiot. He doesn't know what's good for him. He's so good to you but you don't know how to be grateful..."
She muttered about all the bad things Xu Cheng did in his childhood, but in fact, the corners of her lips were slightly upturned, her eyebrows were curved, and she looked particularly happy.
"Close? Are you talking about when you asked me to have a baby girl with you when we were little, and I rejected you?"
"No, no! Who said I'd have a daughter with you?"
The girl hit him again and insisted that she had never said that and would never admit to such a thing.
But Xu Cheng has a lot of dark history about her.
"When a reporter was interviewing you in kindergarten, you said you wanted to marry me and be my bride. You said that in front of the whole class."
"I…you peed your pants when you were a kid!"
"You chased other kids away during the nap in kindergarten and insisted on sleeping next to me."
"You peed your pants when you were a kid!"
“…”
Xu Cheng was helpless, "You are no longer interesting, Lin Wanzhou."
snort.
The girl looked like a hen that had won a fight, with her hands behind her back and her chest puffed out proudly.
"When we were little, you ignored me. Now I am out of your reach."
"What are you talking about? Where did you learn this?"
"A soulmate."
"...Watch less of these nonsense in the future. Besides, I never ignored you when we were kids."
snort.
The girl stopped and faced him, the white candy stick on her lips moving from the right to the left.
"Yes, otherwise why don't you eat the lollipops I've eaten."
Xu Cheng also stopped and lowered his head to face the small girl.
"Then I'll eat now."
"……Um?!"
Xu Cheng reached out to pull the candy stick from the girl's mouth. Lin Wanzhou reacted with a flushed face, and bit it tightly with her teeth to refuse to give it to him.
“Hmm~Hmm—Hmm…”
She couldn't speak, and could only hum in dissatisfaction, gently pushing Xu Cheng's chest with her small hand.
"If you don't let go, I'll grab it with my mouth."
"???"
Seeing Xu Cheng's face slowly approaching, the girl quickly loosened her teeth to welcome him... Ugh, give up the plastic candy stick that was bitten flat.
“There’s no sugar.”
"Then I'll eat candy sticks."
Xu Cheng shamelessly put the flattened end into his mouth. The girl blushed, her neck shrank, and she lowered her head without looking at him. She only felt the residual taste of the lollipop in her mouth, and her tongue and throat were particularly sweet.
"Why are you walking so fast?" Xu Cheng chased after her.
The girl buried her head and complained.
"Xu Cheng, do you know what the difference is between you now and before?"
"What?"
"Before you were only secretly perverted, now you are blatantly perverted."
"Who is perverted? And is being perverted to someone you like considered perverted?"
"...Why not? Besides, you don't like me. I don't even know what our relationship is now..."
After saying that, the girl secretly glanced at the boy next to her, but he didn't seem to want to speak to explain the meaning of their current relationship.
She suddenly felt extremely wronged, and even she herself didn't understand why.
She didn't expect anything. She was just played a hooligan by this bad guy for a few days. Why would she want to take the next step in their innocent relationship?
But I just feel so sad that I can't express it. I want to rub my tears and snot all over that annoying guy.
She finally calmed down and when she looked up, she found that she was all alone. The idiot Xu Cheng was far behind, rummaging around in his schoolbag.
She stopped to wait for her child, and soon Xu Cheng caught up with her, taking out a notebook and pen from his schoolbag.
The girl crossed her arms and gave him a sidelong look.
"What are you dithering about?"
"You asked me to confirm our relationship."
"???"
He wants to establish a relationship with me!
The girl's arms, which she had just held in front of her chest, drooped down, and her small hands fell to the corners of her clothes, grasping the piece of cloth there and rubbing it nervously.
Just confirm it, why are you holding a pen and paper?
Should I give her a certificate of "the best in the world"? Or should I write a boyfriend-girlfriend certificate...
I watched Xu Cheng take off the cap of the pen, hold the pen in one hand and the notebook in the other, and in order to write more efficiently, he squatted down and put the notebook on his thighs, with the white candy stick in his mouth.
Lin Wanzhou also squatted down and touched his head to his, wanting to see what tricks he could come up with.
Then she saw him draw a coordinate axis...
In an instant, I had the urge to kick him to the ground, stomp on him a few times, and walk away.
There was no reason, I just wanted to beat him up.
Where do we need to use coordinate axes to determine the relationship? !
However, Xu Cheng pointed at the coordinate axis very seriously and talked freely.
"There is a saying: If you like someone, you will be unrestrained, but love requires restraint. Based on this saying, I designed this coordinate axis. The horizontal axis represents the 'closeness of the relationship', and the vertical axis represents the 'unrestrained value'."
The girl listened to him carefully. It seemed like this guy had magic in his words. Even if the things were completely unreasonable, he could always make them make sense.
Xu Cheng drew another curve, a parabola opening downwards.
"The relationship between two people is like this downward-opening quadratic function graph. Starting from the origin, the further to the right, the greater the horizontal axis 'closeness of relationship' will be, and the higher the vertical axis 'insolence value' will be."
What he said was easy to understand and the girl understood it quickly.
"Then the highest value here represents..."
"It represents love. Only when you fall in love with someone will you restrain yourself and gradually become less unrestrained. Therefore, the 'unrestrained value' will decrease as the horizontal axis 'relationship intimacy' increases."
"Nonsense, you will definitely become extremely perverted after falling in love with me. How can you not become unruly?"
"Do you think your parents are as unbridled as us?"
“It seems not…”
"Doesn't that prove that I'm right?"
“…”
Damn, the girl found that she actually felt that what Xu Cheng said made a lot of sense.
Xu Cheng continued to gesture, "Now that we have this coordinate axis, it's easier to explain. Based on the fact that we are only holding hands at the moment, we can find the position of our relationship in this picture... It's at this coordinate point."
Xu Cheng clicked a black dot in the left half of the parabola, at the very lower left position.
"Lin Wanzhou, this coordinate is our relationship. It's a small dot very close to the origin, but not at the origin."
The girl looked at the black spot, curled her lips and said nothing.
There seemed to be an inexplicable connection between this black spot and her.
And inexplicably, when she saw that her relationship with him was clearly marked and visualized, she felt unwilling and wanted to work hard with him to reach the highest value.
How can it be such a small coordinate so close to the origin...
However, this also makes the girl look forward to it, as if for the rest of her life, every time she gets a little closer to Xu Cheng, she will enjoy the happiness of moving towards infinity together on the horizontal axis.
Xu Cheng folded the paper, tore it off and handed it to Lin Wanzhou. The girl immediately folded it and put it in her pocket as if it were a treasure. The size of the folded paper was the same as her pocket and it would not get wrinkled.
"Lin Wanzhou, if you want to lower your 'impudence value', you can try to actively increase your 'relationship intimacy' with me."
"Bah, you take me for a fool. If you want to lower the 'insolence value', I can just reduce the 'relationship intimacy'. It will be even faster."
"…Give me back the paper and I'll draw a new dot for you."
"No, and you just lied. You are no longer just holding hands. You are now..."
"What's wrong with me now?"
"You dare to kiss my hand!"
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't."
"You just dare to kiss!"
"No, I don't dare."
Lin Wanzhou was stubborn. She stood on tiptoe, circled around Xu Cheng, and raised her little hand to his mouth.
"How could you not dare..."
Xu Cheng dodged a few times on purpose, and when the girl put her hand close to him for the fourth time, he took off the small stick in his hand, held her hand and put his mouth close to hers.
The girl was stunned when she felt a wet and warm feeling on the back of her hand.
I...what am I doing?
Her face flushed and she tried to break free.
"Let me go, let me go, I'm going to tell your mother."
A black car drove past them on the side of the road, suddenly slowed down, stopped, and then backed up to the two of them, with the brown windows slowly lowered.
He Ying saw her own son, and the daughter of Director Gao, who was very close to her, was... wiping his mouth?
"mom?"
Xu Cheng widened his eyes and let go of Lin Wanzhou's soft little hand.
"Who are you kidding?"
The girl broke free, grabbed his left hand, pried open his fingers and snatched the candy stick that belonged to her from his hand, then gave the guy two punches, looking very proud.
"Your mother is here, why didn't you tell her that my mother is here."
"…I'm not lying to you. She's really my mother."
Xu Cheng spoke in a very low voice with his mouth pursed, and did not forget to point behind her. The girl turned around with her eyes wide open.
"Mom... Oh my god, Auntie?!!!"
Woo…
Why is it like this...
