Chapter 3: Distant First Love Target one
In order to successfully pass the entrance exam to St. John's in the second semester, I started studying hard. There was a huge gap between my dream and reality. I thought I would be a top student when I came back, but when I actually went to class, I found that I had forgotten a lot of knowledge, not to mention remembering test questions. I pounded my head hard. Those things written in the books about returning to youth and subverting the world were impossible for me to happen. I didn't even know the simplest high school knowledge. I could only study hard and start all over again. I thought I would not forget it again this time.
The huge amount of questions almost overwhelmed me. I also cancelled all my extracurricular activities, such as watching TV series, listening to music, and going out. Anyway, I had played all these games in the past. Now I am not interested in surfing the Internet . Study, study! This is my current goal! When people have goals, they can give up anything. For my future and for my love, I must overcome all difficulties! My attitude surprised my parents. They thought I was possessed by evil spirits. They used to dislike me for playing and not studying, but now they are afraid that I will become stupid if I study too much.
"Mom and Dad, it's rare that I'm so motivated to study. You can't discourage me. Maybe I'll be the top scorer in the college entrance examination, and you'll be the parents of the top scorer!" I said to my parents exaggeratedly.
"Okay, baby, keep studying!" My parents shook their heads and let me continue to study hard.
Not only my parents are curious about my learning attitude, but also my teachers and classmates at school, especially Xun Yiran.
"Xizi, you've been working really hard lately." Seeing me doing the test again, Xun Yiran said in surprise, "I remember you didn't love studying so much before."
"The me before was the me before, and the me now is the new me!" I held the pen in my hand with a righteous expression on my face, and then I turned my attention back to the test paper in my hand.
Xun Yiran stuck out her tongue and ignored me. She had so many TV series to watch, so many novels to read, and so much gossip to talk about. Of course, she would not pay attention to me, a "good" student who was focused on studying.
In addition to studying, I often appeared at the gate of St. John's, taking a walk in the morning before going to school and taking a walk after school. Even if the goddess of fate did not favor me, I would always run into An Yixuan once or twice. It didn't matter if the number of times was small, as long as I could see him, I would be very happy, just like in college. I once said that if I was in a bad mood, I would look at him, and I would feel better after looking at him. An Yixuan even disliked me for being pretentious.
The only thing that annoys me is that An Yixuan always avoids me. Every time he sees me, he disappears as fast as he can, as if I were a plague. Just like now, I am watching An Yixuan walking out of the campus with his schoolbag on his back. I am struggling whether to say hello or just watch him quietly, when he suddenly looks at me and his expression changes instantly, as if he saw a ghost. His handsome face twists, his black eyes stare at me, and then he turns and runs away quickly. Wow, handsome guys are handsome guys, even the panicked look of fleeing is charming!
"Xizi, what a coincidence!" Just as I was watching An Yixuan leave like the wind, a boy's voice came from behind me. What a bummer, disturbing my view. I turned around and saw, wow! Another pretty boy! The boy standing behind me is handsome in a completely different style from An Yixuan. An Yixuan's handsomeness is exquisite, with a kind of boyish and girly beauty, while the boy in front of me is handsome with clear edges and corners, a tough man's handsomeness, sword-like eyebrows and phoenix eyes, with bronze skin. Oh my God , I almost forgot about him! My brain is just reacting now, my high school idol, my secret crush back then! What was his name? I searched my brain memory, Makino Ge! An outstanding student who was admitted with the highest score in the school!
"It's you!" I felt as if something had suddenly dawned on me. My whole attention was now on An Yixuan, and I didn't care about him at all.
"Hmm? I didn't scare you just now, did I?" Makino Ge touched his hair and showed a sunny smile, his snow-white teeth seemed to be shining.
I looked at him carefully. Muye Ge was indeed a handsome guy in high school, with black hair, narrow almond-shaped eyes, white teeth, and a strong body. No wonder I was so obsessed with him back then. But... I already have An Yixuan, so I won't have any feelings for other men.
"Xizi?" Makinoge called me softly, and at the same time stretched out her hand and waved it in front of my eyes, "Are you okay?"
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. What's wrong?" I came back to my senses quickly, my face blushing with embarrassment, "Do you want to talk to me about something?" In fact, we didn't have many interactions. I asked a lot about him because I liked him back then. But, I didn't pay attention to him after I went back to high school. How did he know my name?
"No, that's not right. How do you know my name?" After she asked me this, I remembered it and couldn't help but laugh. The things that I thought were unforgettable back then had been forgotten 10 years later.
"Well, I'm really embarrassed to say it out loud." Makino Ge lowered his head, a blush appeared on his face. He bit his lip with a shy look on his face.
I stared at him with wide eyes, wondering whether I should help him to speak out. That thing, that thing that made me sad and upset throughout my high school years, has now been completely put aside. I looked at him quietly, enjoying the shy expression of the handsome guy. I didn't have such a mentality back then.
Makinoge looked around. It was the end of school, and the place was bustling with people. Curious students looked at us from time to time. I was touched for a moment , thinking of the scene when I mistakenly thought he confessed to me. It was so embarrassing!
"How about we talk somewhere else?" After all, he's asking me for help, so it's not too much to ask me for a bowl of milk tea.
Mu Yege breathed a sigh of relief as if she had been pardoned and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, let's find a place to sit down."
I smiled, walked towards the milk tea shop, and ordered a large cup of bubble milk tea. Ten years later, bubble milk tea almost disappeared because it was unhealthy.
Makinoge ordered a glass of juice and sat opposite me. He was obviously a little nervous. He took a few sips of the juice, raised his head and looked at me with some shyness in his eyes: "Actually, I want to ask you about your friend Xun Yiran. She is very beautiful."
I bit the glutinous pearls, and the sweet milk tea still tasted the same as I remembered. I finally said it out. That was how it was back then. My idol fell in love with my best friend. He used me to pursue Xun Yiran, and I was stuck between them, like a clown. Although they didn't end up together, it also cast a shadow on my high school years. I bit the straw unconsciously. Forget it. I can do a good thing after traveling back in time, and there is no loss.
"You like Xun Yiran, it's okay, I can help you!" I raised my head and looked at him with a smile.
Makinoge seemed frightened by my attitude. Her face showed surprise, happiness, and a little confusion: "You are willing to help me? That's...that's great!"
"Of course, but you have to treat me as your matchmaker well." I winked at him and still lowered my head to drink my milk tea.
"You seem a little different..." Makino Ge looked at me with a curious look in his eyes.
"What's the difference? Well, it's getting late. I have to go home to study. Bye, I will help you!" I stood up, packed my things neatly, turned around and left.
"Xizi..." Makino Ge's voice sounded weakly behind him.
I left without looking back. I had already said that I would help him. I, Sakiko, am not a stingy person.
