Chapter 4 The Iceberg Boy Melted two
The day passed quietly, without any wind or waves. After school, I ran straight towards home without even looking at St. John. Only restraint can lead to success!
After I got home, I started to do my homework like crazy. I didn't even have dinner. I didn't relax until after nine o'clock. I could only suppress my longing by being busy like this. After I finished my homework, I realized that I was hungry and ran to the kitchen to find something to eat. My mother called me three times just now, but I refused. If she found me looking for food, she would definitely scold me.
"Wow, there's chicken soup!" I filled a bowl and was about to drink it when my mother appeared at the kitchen door out of nowhere.
"I know you're hungry. I thought you wanted to lose weight. There are fried cakes in the induction cooker. You can eat them with chicken soup. There are also pickles in the refrigerator. Help yourself." After saying that, the mother went back to her bedroom to continue watching TV series.
I obediently took out the fried cakes and pickles and ate the chicken soup. It was better to be at home! I have to say that I really enjoyed this kind of school time. When I was a child, I always envied adults. When I grew up, I realized how happy I was when I was a child. I didn’t have to worry about supporting my family, I didn’t have to look at the boss’s face, I didn’t have to follow others in a submissive manner, I just had to study, what a low requirement! Thinking about it, my nose was sour, because I still have to grow up slowly.
I put my mind back on studying, put An Yixuan at the bottom of my heart, and controlled myself not to look at him or go to him. I believe we are still destined to be together. I can't fall behind, I have to keep working hard! A week passed like this, and I didn't go out stayed at home reading books and watching TV series, and eating some fruits. After work, I didn't have such a relaxing life.
"Baby, don't just play around, come and help me peel the onions!" Mom shouted in the kitchen.
Some things, you really can't start, otherwise you have to keep doing them. Since I helped my mother cook a few times last time, my mother has begun to order me around with peace of mind, so I lazily got up from the sofa and went to the kitchen to help.
After lunch, I returned to my room to take a nap. As soon as I lay down on the bed, my cell phone rang. 10 years ago, cell phones were still the simplest domestic ones. There were no apps like WeChat or Momo. You could only make calls and send text messages. The more advanced ones had a simplified version of QQ. However, the quality of cell phones at that time was really good, and the battery life was sufficient. It was really possible to use it for 48 hours after charging for two hours.
"Hello, Lingling, what's going on?" I asked in confusion when I saw it was Lingling calling.
The bell over there was turned down very quietly, probably because they were afraid her parents would hear it: "Go to the usual place tomorrow at noon. The school uniform is there. Change into it and climb over the wall to find me."
"Ah? What happened? Did you get into trouble at school?" I was confused. Could it be that Lingling offended someone and needed help?
"No, it's right that you came. My parents are here. I won't say anything more. I'll continue doing my homework." Lingling said in a low voice and hung up.
I stared at my phone for a while, not knowing what was going on, but she must have something to talk to me about.
The next day at noon, I came to the old place as agreed, and sure enough, there was a set of school uniforms neatly folded in the corner. I looked around carefully, making sure that no one was there, so I put on the school uniform and climbed over the wall. As soon as I jumped off the wall, I was dumbfounded. There was no bell on this side of the wall, only An Yixuan, holding his chest and staring at me fiercely.
I opened my mouth in surprise and fear, not knowing what to say. I just stared back at An Yixuan.
"Why don't you reply to my QQ?" An Yixuan asked angrily.
"Ah? QQ? Um... I haven't been on QQ much recently..." I stuttered. This was the truth. On the one hand, I was concentrating on studying, and on the other hand, I was afraid that I would not be able to resist looking for An Yixuan when I went on QQ.
"Hmph, what have you been doing recently? You weirdo, why do you always appear by my side inexplicably and then disappear from my side inexplicably?" An Yixuan raised his eyebrows, his face full of anger.
I shivered all over.
Is he interrogating me?
When I stood in front of him, my aura was half gone, and I could only answer his questions obediently: "I've been studying recently. I... I want to get into St. John's, so I've been studying hard to prepare for the transfer exam next semester. I didn't appear by your side inexplicably. I... There are some things I can't explain. I just like you... As for suddenly not showing up, it's because I've let it go. I can't disturb you. I should study hard and make progress together with you."
"You want to apply to St. John's? How much did you score in the entrance examination?" An Yixuan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked with a somewhat conflicted expression.
"I'm not too bad. I'm only one point away from getting into St. John's. 443 points." I said with a blink.
"It seems like there is still a chance..." An Yixuan said, looking up. His profile was even more handsome in the sunlight. It was a pity that my phone didn't have a clear camera function, otherwise I would have taken a picture to keep as a treasure. "Why are you looking at me?" An Yixuan blushed a little when he found out that I was staring at him, "Why do you want to go to St. John's?"
"Well, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?" I asked, looking away.
"Then just tell me everything." An Yixuan seemed interested, "Whether it's true or false."
"You may not believe the truth, but I applied to St. John's for you. With my grades, it doesn't matter which school I go to. College entrance exams are based on scores, not schools. Because you are in St. John's, I felt that I had to get in no matter what, to be on the same level as you!" I said shyly and excitedly, my palms sweating. "The lie is... for the future, for a good university. St. John's is the best in the local area. I am not afraid of not being admitted to university even if I am last in the list."
"Haha, you have a very positive idea." A sneer appeared at the corner of An Yixuan's lips, "So you don't have time to pay attention to me."
I was a little confused and stared at him in surprise.
Is he questioning me? Is he upset because I ignored him and didn't contact him?
"What are you looking at? Why don't you talk anymore?" An Yixuan said, turning his head sideways.
"Ah? I... I was afraid of disturbing you, afraid that you would hate me, I was afraid that you would be afraid that I would ignore me again, so I didn't dare to look for you." I said aggrievedly.
An Yixuan's expression seemed to look better, his black jade eyes sparkled: "Then you weren't afraid from the beginning that I would hate you, you weren't afraid that I would be afraid of you, you broke into my life inexplicably..." He bit his lip and didn't continue.
I pinched the corner of my clothes, not knowing how to answer: "Do you believe in love at first sight? Do you believe me when I say I fell in love with you at first sight?" I raised my head to look at him, then lowered my head again, "Maybe we were lovers in our previous life..."
"Have you read too many novels or watched too many TV dramas?" An Yixuan gave me a blank look.
"If you don't believe me, forget it. Did you call me here today just to question me?" I pouted, "It's okay, I'm leaving." I turned around and prepared to leave. Uh, something's not right. I suddenly remembered something, turned around and stared at An Yixuan and asked, "No, it was Lingdang who called me here today. Where's Lingdang? What did you do to her?" Thinking of Lingdang, I couldn't help but worry.
"Lingling is fine. I just asked her about you. What's wrong? Is it not okay? For someone who always appears around me for no reason, shouldn't I ask who he is? Also, Lingling is my classmate. Am I not allowed to ask? If she secretly brought you in and was discovered by the teacher, it would be a serious crime. I didn't report you." An Yixuan said with a clear conscience.
"You..." I was speechless. "Okay, I'll return the clothes to you and I'll go back to school." I planned to continue climbing over the wall to get out.
"Wait, you're just leaving like that." An Yixuan called me from behind.
"What else?" I turned around and stared at him.
"You come right after school. You haven't eaten yet, right? Let's go have a meal together. I don't want you to faint from hunger during the afternoon class." An Yixuan said calmly.
I blinked and looked at An Yixuan. Was he asking me out for dinner? Was he afraid that I would be hungry? I burst out laughing.
An Yixuan's face turned slightly red, and he stared at me for a long time, as if wondering why I suddenly smiled so happily: "No, then go away."
"Yes, I do!" I almost jumped up.
