After dinner, Su Peile called her mother and told her that she met her classmate at the grandfather's house. The grandfather asked her to stay and help tutor her classmate's homework and go back later. Her mother agreed without asking any more questions when she heard that it was her classmate's house, but told her to go home early.
Having gotten her mother's permission, Su Peile seemed very happy and followed the very reluctant Li Zhengyu to his room on the second floor.
When she walked up to the second floor, she noticed that there was a small living room in the middle of the second floor, with a fireplace and two casual fabric sofas next to it, with a few magazines scattered on the sofas. There were many photos hanging on the walls on both sides of the living room, including old black-and-white photos before the liberation, color photos from the 1970s and 1980s, and more color photos from recent years.
They were all photos of family members from different periods. The largest one was a family portrait. Grandpa Li was sitting in the middle, and Li Zhengyu was sitting next to him, hugging his shoulders intimately. Behind him stood two middle-aged couples. Su Peile knew what Li Zhengyu's parents looked like. Li Zhengyu looked very similar to his father. Suddenly, she found that there were also photos of Grandpa Li's other son and daughter-in-law on the wall, but she didn't see their children. Or... they didn't have children? She was a little surprised, but this was someone else's privacy, so it was better not to ask.
Li Zhengyu walked to the door of his room and called her impatiently again. She hurriedly responded and trotted over.
As soon as she stepped in, her mouth opened into a small O shape. His bedroom was twice the size of her room, with blue as the main color. There were posters of NBA stars scattered on the wall. On the inside of the bed was a semicircular floor-to-ceiling window. On the platform in front of the window were fitness equipment for doing sit-ups and dumbbells.
There is a small basketball hoop nailed to the corner of the wall diagonally opposite the bed, and a dart board on the wall next to it. On the long cabinet behind her, there are many models, ranging from warships to airplanes to cars to ships.
This made Su Peile feel like she had entered a new world. She walked to the cabinet and reached out to touch the lifelike plane. Her fingers felt the metal body, which was a little cold. She took a breath, fearing that she would damage it if she touched it too hard.
"Why do you have so many models in your room?"
"Boys' rooms are all like this. Do you think it will be like your girls' rooms? Full of dolls. Childish." Li Zhengyu snorted disdainfully, turned on the TV, fiddled with the remote control for a few times, and the game screen appeared.
Su Peile understood. No wonder he slept in class. It turned out that he played games every day. Then he looked at his schoolbag, which was thrown in the corner of the wall at the entrance. The location was not as conspicuous as the trash can next to the computer desk.
"Li Zhengyu, can you please finish your homework before playing?" Su Peile walked over to him and sat on the mat next to him.
"My grandfather gave you privileges, but I didn't promise you, so don't disturb me. You can play whatever you want in my room, and I'll take you home when the time comes." After he said that, he winked at her with his right eye.
Accustomed to his overbearing and unreasonable appearance, Su Peile's brain short-circuited instantly when he suddenly smiled so casually and with a bit of flattering tone.
Although his smile was not as warm as the spring breeze in my memory, it was like a magic that attracted people's attention and hearts and was very captivating.
Fortunately, Su Peile came to his senses when he was about to become infatuated. He pursed his lips and thought for a while, then pretended to stand up: "If you don't cooperate, I'll go talk to Grandpa."
Sure enough, it was still useful to bring up Grandpa Li. Li Zhengyu hurriedly reached out and grabbed the back of her clothes and said, "Don't go."
"Then do your homework."
"Doing homework isn't annoying, it just takes up my time for playing games."
Su Peile's forehead was covered with black lines. She really wanted to scold him. You are a student, why don't you say that games take up study time. But she still smiled and said, "We only have a few years to do homework in school. Think about the decades you have in your future life. You can have decades to play games."
Li Zhengyu blinked and savored her words carefully. This truth really made people feel good.
"Okay, I'll do my homework, but you have to promise me that you'll play games with me after you finish your homework."
"Okay." Su Peile nodded, as long as he agreed to do his homework.
Just like that, Li Zhengyu finally picked up his schoolbag for the first time, and the desk that had long been filled with various basketball magazines and snacks finally saw the light of day again.
While tutoring Li Zhengyu on his homework, Su Peile discovered that he was not stupid at all, and was even much better than her in science. She couldn't help but think of what her mother had said, that some children who don't study hard are not stupid, but simply don't want to learn. It seems that he belongs to this category. When Li Zhengyu wanted to play games after finishing half of his homework, Su Peile begged him to finish the other half. Li Zhengyu was no longer as awkward as before, and actually finished the rest obediently.
After finishing his homework, Su Peile, who was playing games with Li Zhengyu, was scolded badly by him.
Because Su Peile is an idiot when it comes to games. Although she is an idiot, she learns quickly and has a lot of fun playing. She played until late at night without realizing it. When Su Peile received a call from her mother, she realized that it was already past 10 o'clock in the evening.
Grandpa Li, who was used to going to bed early, had already rested. He only told Aunt Chen to tell Li Zhengyu to send Su Peile home safely. The enthusiastic Aunt Chen made cheese and juice for the two of them, and Li Zhengyu insisted that she finish eating before going home.
In the neighborhood at night, the street lights were not very bright, and the dim lights stretched the shadows of the two people sometimes very long, and sometimes very short. The location of the villa area was halfway up the mountain, and you could see the bustling lights of the city in the distance. The bright lights seemed to have merged into an ocean and intersected with the sky.
Su Peile looked up at the sky as he walked. There was not a single dark cloud in the sky tonight. The stars were like pearls inlaid in the deep blue sky, appearing close yet distant, and flashing playfully.
"Why are you stopping there? Hurry up." Li Zhengyu, who was walking in front, found that she did not catch up. He turned around and saw her looking up at the sky.
"Li Zhengyu, look!" Su Peile stretched out his arm and pointed at the sky.
He walked back and stood beside her, raised his head and looked up at the sky and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"That's the Big Dipper!" she said, pointing to the seven spoon-shaped stars in the night sky.
"Tsk, I thought there was a flying saucer. What's so interesting about these broken stars?"
"The stars are beautiful, but you just don't know how to appreciate them! You know, my favorite thing to do is to look at the stars under the night sky. Sometimes if it's cloudy for several nights in a row, I'll be unhappy."
"childish."
Su Peile shifted her gaze to Li Zhengyu's face. Seeing the disdain on his face, she smiled faintly: "Li Zhengyu, I once had a very silly idea when I was a child."
"Your current thoughts are pretty stupid."
"Listen to me, when I was a kid I always thought the stars in the sky would fall, so I had a wish to pick up all the stars that fell on the ground, hang them on a tree, and keep them all. Whenever I saw a shooting star, I would ask my mother to take me to pick up the stars, but my mother said that the stars had fallen into the sea."
Li Zhengyu rolled his eyes at her and repeated two words: "Childish."
"But the stars are so far away in the sky, they are so pitiful. When they fall to the ground, I will pick them up and put them together. Then the stars will never have to separate and will never be lonely again." Su Peile ignored his ridicule and said while looking at the twinkling stars in the night sky.
Hearing her say this, Li Zhengyu turned his head to look at her face staring at the night sky, focused and full of anticipation, her dark eyes seemed to reflect the light of the stars.
The corner of his mouth curled up into a rare gentle smile. She is such a silly and naive girl, but she makes people like her more and more.
"I'm so tired." Su Peile stopped looking at the starry sky because his neck was sore and painful.
The gentle smile on Li Zhengyu's face disappeared immediately. He laughed at her in a sly way: "You're tired after playing games for a while at my house. Shame on you."
"I don't play every day, so of course I'm not used to it."
"Then I'll take you on a shortcut so you don't have to take a long detour home."
"Is there a shortcut?" Su Peile asked doubtfully. According to the route they were taking now, the route from the villa area to her home was a horizontal V-shape, which meant that the direction of the Li family villa and the direction of her high-rise building were a straight line. Would there be a road on this straight line?
Li Zhengyu smiled mysteriously and beckoned her to follow him. Su Peile followed him suspiciously through the path between the two villas. There were no street lights on the road they were walking on, only the faint lights from the rooms of the villas on both sides. From time to time, they could hear the sound of television, laughter, or children crying from the homes of those who were not asleep.
There is a patch of peach trees at the front of the road. The trees are full of pink peach blossoms, which look like a gorgeous cloud in the night.
Li Zhengyu was tall, and he helped her lift the branch that was touching her head. Suddenly, a gust of night wind blew and blew the petals off the branch.
In the rain of delicate and fragrant petals, the handsome young man took her hand and led her through the small peach forest.
Su Peile's attention was all on his hand. This was the first time he held her hand so tightly. The warmth between his fingers went straight to her heart. She felt that her whole heart and whole being were leaning on him.
She was obviously the person who was most afraid of the dark, but when she was traveling with Li Zhengyu in this deserted peach forest, she didn't feel afraid at all, because Li Zhengyu's hand gave her a great sense of security.
She suddenly wished that the peach forest was a little wider, so that Li Zhengyu could continue walking with her like this.
"Hey, watch your step and don't fall." Li Zhengyu said unhappily, holding her hand tightly to prevent her from tripping over the stones under her feet.
She couldn't help but sigh in her heart. Such a beautiful scene was ruined by his words.
The peach forest is not wide. It is just a dividing line between the villa area and the multi-story residential area. Walking out of the peach forest, there is a European-style wrought iron wall. On the other side of the iron railing is the multi-story residential area.
"Cross over." Li Zhengyu stood next to the railing and ordered Su Peile.
She looked up at the railing that was higher than her head and said with difficulty, "Is there no way?"
"There's no door. This wall extends all the way down the mountain." Li Zhengyu pushed her back and said, "Climb over."
"I, I can't climb up."
"How can we not climb up? Humans evolved from monkeys. This is human instinct. Come on, I'll push you."
Su Peile reached out to grab the railing, and Li Zhengyu put his arm around her waist. She turned around and leaned against the railing in fear and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Hey, can you climb up without me holding you up? Hurry up."
She turned around hesitantly with a red face, holding the upper end of the railing with her hands, and Li Zhengyu held her waist tightly. In fact, if he wanted to turn over, he should push her buttocks, but he didn't need to touch there. Just thinking about it, Li Zhengyu was already a little red.
With Li Zhengyu's hand around her waist, Su Peile's face turned red and her heart beat faster. She wanted to turn over quickly, but the more anxious she was, the harder it was to do so.
"Push your feet upwards with some force! You are an idiot. You can't even crawl over. Did you really evolve from a pig?" After failing for the Nth time, Li Zhengyu became angry.
Su Peile said aggrievedly: "I really can't climb up, how about we take the original route?"
"Why are you going back now that you've come this far? Come on, step on me to get up." As he said that, Li Zhengyu approached the railing and bent down.
"It will hurt you."
"Stop talking nonsense, I'll step on you if you ask me to!"
There was no other way, it had to be this way. Su Peile hardened his heart and climbed onto his back, and he slowly straightened his back.
Su Peile felt herself rising a little bit, then she reached out to hold the railing and whispered to the person under her feet: "Li Zhengyu, are you okay?"
"Stop talking nonsense and turn over quickly, or you'll vomit blood."
This was the first time she had climbed over a wall since she was a child. As she slowly stepped over the railing with her left leg, she said fearfully, "I'm so scared. What if I fall down?"
"Hold the railing with both hands and jump down quickly. It's grass anyway, so it won't hurt much if you fall." Li Zhengyu said with all his strength, and then shouted, "Hurry up, you pig is sinking like a pig."
Hearing him shouting, Su Peile became even more anxious. In a panic, she lifted her right leg before her left foot was firmly hooked. The fear in her heart grew deeper and deeper. The empty feeling under her feet made her panic.
"Are you hanging there for exhibition? Jump quickly!" Li Zhengyu straightened up and raised his head and shouted at her.
Su Peile was startled and loosened his grip.
"Ah..." She fell down, sat on the ground with her butt, and lay down without making any sound.
"Hey, Su Peile, what's wrong with you?" Li Zhengyu panicked when he heard no movement from the other side of the wall. He climbed up the railing in a few steps and jumped over easily.
Su Peile lay on the ground with her eyes closed, crushing the green grass that had just grown below. Li Zhengyu knelt beside her, and the first thing he did was to hold her head up. He felt that there was broken soil underneath and no stones, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
But seeing her eyes tightly closed, his heart seemed to fall into the abyss. He shook her upper body and shouted, "Su Peile, wake up, don't scare me!"
It felt so warm being held in his arms. Su Peile felt as if she was back to four years ago when she was lying on his back. She had just pretended to faint to scare him. She thought he would come over and kick her a few times to tell her to stop pretending to be dead, but she didn't expect that he would actually be scared.
She simply continued to pretend to be unconscious. She was always bullied by him, so she decided to bully him again today.
She still didn't wake up. Li Zhengyu's voice was a little hoarse at this time, and his eyes were full of panic: "Lele, wake up, Lele!"
His hands slapped her face at the same time, and he actually called her Lele, which sounded much better than calling her idiot. Su Peile felt as if she had drunk honey, and the sweet breath filled her heart layer by layer.
"Hehe..." My heart felt sweet and I couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Li Zhengyu, whose brain was already not very clear after being frightened by her, found that the person in his arms was smiling, and even opened his eyes and said to him mischievously: "I like you to call me Lele so much."
"Su Peile, you actually lied to me!" Li Zhengyu shouted in a hoarse voice, and his head seemed to be sparking with anger.
"Who told you to force me to climb over the wall and say I evolved from a pig?"
"If I don't beat you, you'll get bolder and bolder!" Li Zhengyu said this, then he pushed her to the ground and tickled her armpits with both hands.
Su Peile was very ticklish and she struggled with laughter, but Li Zhengyu didn't want to let her go and kept tickling her.
"Haha... stop it, I was wrong." She begged for mercy, tears streaming down her face. She tried to push him away with both hands but couldn't, so she kicked around. Unfortunately, one of her kicks hit the leg that was supporting the ground.
After being kicked by her, Li Zhengyu lost his balance and Su Peile watched him pounce down.
"Ah..." Li Zhengyu's upper body just pressed on Su Peile, and she groaned under his pressure. Their eyes met , their noses almost touched, and even their lips almost touched.
The two people looked at each other. For a moment, they could not hear any sound, nor could they see the surrounding lights and the stars in the sky. It seemed as if there were only the two of them in the world.
No, you can hear each other's heartbeats, getting more and more panicked and intense.
Because it was spring and the clothes she wore were a little thin, Li Zhengyu, who was pressing on Su Peile, could clearly feel the softness of her body. This was the first time he had such close contact with a girl. He even smelled the aroma of the cheese she had just eaten. Looking at her eyes that suddenly widened, the silly expression that he usually made fun of now seemed so cute, even a little tempting, and he suddenly had the urge to kiss her.
"Li Zhengyu." Su Peile murmured his name with a red face, finally bringing back his drifting consciousness.
Li Zhengyu's handsome face was stained with a blush, and he didn't bother to cover it up. He immediately supported himself on the ground and stood up from her. After holding it in for a long time, he awkwardly threw out three words: "I'm sorry."
Su Peile also sat up, moved back, and said softly, "It's okay, I kicked you first, does your leg hurt?"
"It doesn't hurt. Your strength is nothing. I, I'll take you home."
Li Zhengyu handed her his hand. Su Peile hesitated for a moment, then placed her hand in his warm palm and let him pull her up.
Both of their hands were burning hot. They pulled each other for a moment, then quickly separated. For a moment, because of the awkwardness, neither of them spoke. They just walked down the hill in silence.
Li Zhengyu walked in front to lead the way. Su Peile, who followed behind, looked at his back. Looking at his straight back, the scene just now emerged in his mind again - his warm and powerful palms and the handsome face so close to him.
Suddenly, Su Peile realized a serious problem, that is, after meeting Li Zhengyu again, the warm image in her mind four years ago became increasingly blurred. However, the Li Zhengyu who had a bad temper like a Martian prince, who she faced every day, attracted her more and more.
She is no longer obsessed with finding the shadow of four years ago in Li Zhengyu. On the contrary, this straightforward, domineering and childish Li Zhengyu is occupying her heart bit by bit.
She seemed to really fall in love with Li Zhengyu, a love that came from the bottom of her heart, just like a sunflower pursuing the sun, everything she thought and did was to pursue him.
"Li Zhengyu." She called him softly from behind.
The person walking in front slowed down his pace, put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned around and asked her: "What's the matter?"
"When you were dating Xia Ying, did you often send her home at night?"
"Does she need someone to send her? Anyone who dares to rob her is courting death! By the way, didn't she tell you that she knows karate, which is much better than my taekwondo."
"Ah! She knows karate?" Su Peile was very surprised, and he also understood why no boys in the college dared to mess with Xia Ying even though she was a girl.
Li Zhengyu looked up at the starry sky and continued, "Yes, do you know why I dated her? It was because when the spring semester started last year, I was troubled by a group of hooligans outside the school. When I was about to lose the fight, Xia Ying showed up and helped me out. So we started dating, and the result was..." At this point, Li Zhengyu sighed and said helplessly, "That was the nightmare of my life. I felt like I had found a man as my girlfriend."
"Pfft." Su Peile couldn't help laughing out loud, remembering that Xia Ying said she was crazy to like this guy, while Li Zhengyu said she had found a man to date. How did these two people spend those few months together?
She comforted him: "Actually, Xia Ying is just a little boyish. You two have similar personalities, so it's better for you to be friends."
"Yeah, we agreed to be buddies later." He thought for a moment, stepped closer to Su Peile, and said nervously, "What did Xia Ying tell you about me?"
She looked into his eyes. His deep eyes were looking at her intently, waiting for her answer.
She couldn't tell him that whenever Xia Ying mentioned him in front of her, nine out of ten sentences were scolding him. So she shook her head to cover it up: "She didn't say anything about you. What do you think she would say about you?"
"Well, that's good." However, Li Zhengyu's eyes told her that he didn't believe it, and he seriously warned her, "But no matter what bad things Xia Ying says about me in the future, don't believe it."
"Why?"
"I told you not to believe it, so don't believe it. Why are there so many reasons?"
Li Zhengyu's rare good temper disappeared in an instant, and his suddenly cold face made Su Peile shut up. Seeing her silence, Li Zhengyu felt a little guilty, so he raised his hand and gently touched her head.
The force was so gentle, as if afraid of hurting her. Su Peile half-closed his eyes and grinned, his eyes looking like two crescent moons.
What a silly smile, Li Zhengyu thought to himself, his eyes couldn't help but look up at the starry sky. Those twinkling stars were so far away and so lonely. When they fall, he must pick them up together, keep them and never separate them again.
Ever since Grandpa Li granted Su Peile the two privileges, in Li Zhengyu's words, it was equivalent to opening a VIP green channel for her all year round.
He would be pulled out of bed by her every morning. At first, Su Peile was a little shy and just called him at the bedroom door in a reserved manner. However, as time went by, she simply lifted the quilt and let him bask in the morning sun.
So, slowly, Li Zhengyu was no longer late.
Li Zhengyu never missed class again.
Li Zhengyu also handed in his homework on time.
The news, which was more exciting than breaking the Olympic record, stirred waves in Mingxin Middle School. Students and teachers went from being shocked to being skeptical, and finally became accustomed to it. Even the Dean of Academic Affairs, who had the most complaints about him, looked at him with a much softer look.
When the peach blossoms fell and the tiny wisteria flowers covered the flower racks, summer arrived in Gangwon, and also welcomed one of the biggest events of Mingxin School - the sports meeting.
A few days before the sports meet, an explosive piece of news spread in the college. Li Zhengyu from Class 1, Grade 2 had signed up for six events for the first time.
Everyone knows that Li Zhengyu is a well-known unsociable person who only likes to play basketball, does not participate in any other sports activities, and does not even attend physical education classes. It is really unexpected that he signed up for six events this time.
Early in the morning on the day of the sports meet, the head teacher passionately used Li Zhengyu as an example, praising him for his high sense of collective honor and boosting morale.
Li Zhengyu, who was sitting in the last row, reached out and turned Su Peile's head towards him, and threatened in a low voice, "Mr. Su, if you don't do well in these six items, I won't forgive you."
Su Peile glanced at him guiltily, then took out a marshmallow from the desk and put it into his mouth: "I believe you, you will get good grades in these six subjects. If I didn't have confidence in you, why would I sign up for you? And I made a bet with grandpa that if you win the prize, he will treat us to a seafood buffet."
"Why do you only know how to eat?" He ridiculed her, but looking at her silly smile, he couldn't get angry. Yes, she secretly registered these six events for him from the sports committee member when he went to the toilet the day before.
In other words, he did not volunteer to participate in these events in the sports meet.
He stretched out his hand and pinched her tender face. Even though her face was almost deformed, Su Peile still smiled. The sports committee member came to call him to go to the registration, and Su Peile's face was finally freed from his hands.
"Li Zhengyu, come on." Su Peile stretched out his arms and made a heart shape above his head, smiling with a blushing face.
Li Zhengyu glanced at her, as if he had forgotten the existence of other people, and suddenly showed her an unprecedented smile. In the morning sunlight, his smile was so bright that it was blinding. Su Peile looked at him and could not help but be stunned. Yes, it was this smile that she could not forget for four years. But now his smile seemed to be more sunny and handsome, which fascinated her even more.
A few girls in front also saw Li Zhengyu's smile and couldn't help but say, "Wow, Li Zhengyu looks so handsome when he smiles!"
"He's really handsome." Han Jingjing also nodded in a daze.
Xia Ying reached out and hit her: "Don't embarrass yourself, I'm not smiling at you."
Han Jingjing looked at Su Peile and said with a sad tone: "Peile, I envy you so much. Li Zhengyu has changed a lot."
"I told you, he is a good kid." Su Peile looked at Xia Ying with a confident smile.
Xia Ying glanced at Li Zhengyu who was walking away, and said to her from the bottom of her heart: "I wish you happiness."
"I will." Su Peile said confidently.
Time flies, and the first day of the sports meet is over in a blink of an eye.
The two-day sports meet reached its climax on the second day. The good news one after another made Class 1, Grade 2 excited again. Li Zhengyu undoubtedly became the dark horse of this sports meet.
They won first place in long jump, first place in high jump, first place in javelin, and two more first places the next afternoon, which made the total score of Class 1, Grade 2 only a few points away from the first place.
When the sun sets, the entire campus is shrouded in golden-red afterglow. The only race left in the sports meet is the 4x100 relay race. This race is crucial for Class 1, Grade 2, and the one running the last leg is Li Zhengyu.
During the registration for the 4x100 relay, Su Peile quickly rushed to Li Zhengyu and handed him the cartoon cup in his hand, which contained the light saline solution that Lu Mowen had brought out from the clinic at home.
"Students, please go back to your class. People who are not related to the contestants should not come over." A teacher in charge of maintaining order said to Su Peile who ran over.
"Who said it doesn't matter? I'm his girlfriend." Su Peile explained hastily. Her words made the students around her laugh.
Xia Ying, who was also participating in the relay race and doing warm-up exercises, rolled her eyes and said, "Hey, can you be more low-key?"
Su Peile shyly raised her hand to cover her mouth, looked at Li Zhengyu who ignored her and said, "I'm here to cheer you on."
"It's up to you." Li Zhengyu walked towards his position on the runway with an indifferent look.
Su Peile smiled and said to Xia Ying, who was in the third place, "Yingying, you must do your best."
"Don't worry, I won't drag down your Li Zhengyu."
Su Peile blushed and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
At this moment, with a "bang", the starting gun sounded.
The first runner of Class One, Grade Two was the physical education committee member. He started quickly and was in the first place. However, he was caught up by a runner from another class when he ran the second runner. Fortunately, Xia Ying, who was in the third runner, regained a little advantage.
When Xia Ying handed the baton to Li Zhengyu, Su Peile's heart was in her throat. She shouted loudly: "Li Zhengyu, come on!"
At this time, in the square formation of Grade 2 Class 1 on the playground, Han Jingjing and Lu Mowen also took the lead in shouting: "Li Zhengyu, come on!"
The classes around that had no contestants participating in the competition also shouted loudly: "Li Zhengyu, come on!"
For a moment, the playground was filled with thunderous cheers, all shouting the same name - Li Zhengyu.
Li Zhengyu felt his blood boiling. Apart from playing basketball, he had never had so many people cheering for him. At this moment, he no longer felt like the student who once caused trouble for others. He could also become everyone's hope and be trusted.
Suddenly, he turned his head and saw the figure jumping excitedly at the starting point.
Suddenly, a powerful strength and confidence surged in his heart.
The end is getting closer and closer.
He was the first to cross the red line.
The entire playground was instantly boiling with excitement, and the students in Class One, Grade Two threw the flags in their hands into the air. The physical education committee member ran over from afar and hugged him tightly, while Xia Ying happily high-fived him.
Class One, Grade Two finally won the first place in this sports meet, and Li Zhengyu also won the title of best athlete.
When he walked up to the podium to receive the award, the Dean of Academic Affairs personally handed him the certificate of honor and said to him with a smile, "Student Li Zhengyu, after discussion, the school has decided to lift your basketball ban in view of your performance today. You can continue to return to the basketball team for training."
"Really?" Li Zhengyu asked in surprise.
"Do I look like I'm kidding? Remember, bring honor to the school."
Li Zhengyu gave the Dean of Academic Affairs a handsome smile in return.
At this time, the campus reporter beside him hurriedly handed him the microphone and asked: "Li Zhengyu, as the best athlete of this sports meeting, do you have anything to say?"
Li Zhengyu's eyes fell on a person under the rostrum: "I didn't expect to achieve such a good result. I am very grateful to the person who has been with me these days. Thank you for her encouragement. Without her, I would not have come this far. Thank you, Su Peile."
When he said this name, the students standing below exclaimed. Is this method the most direct confession?
Su Peile's face turned red. Oh my God, what is Li Zhengyu talking about!
"Does this count as a confession?" some classmates discussed in a low voice.
Xia Ying, who was standing in the crowd, smiled wickedly, put her hands to her mouth and shouted, "Together, together!"
She took the lead in shouting, and the students around her echoed her. Then all the students on the playground shouted: "Together, together!"
The school leaders also knew that it was almost all thanks to Su Peile that Li Zhengyu was able to be a good student, so they tolerated everyone's insolence this time.
Hearing the uniform cheers, Su Peile looked up at the tall and handsome figure on the podium, and he was also looking at her.
She was excited from the bottom of her heart. If those classmates were not around, she might have run up to him without hesitation and thrown herself into his arms.
Li Zhengyu stood on the stage, feeling a little uncomfortable because of the booing from his classmates. This was the first time in his life that he said such disgusting words in public, and he was even a little surprised himself.
I don’t know when it started, but even though I clearly hated Su Peile, I was gradually influenced and changed by her bit by bit.
He didn't know when it started, but he got used to her presence and her participation. He even began to fear that he would be at a loss when she was not around.
He didn't want her to have to work so hard to stay with him anymore, and he wanted to give her a legitimate reason to stay.
So, Su Peile, can we be together?
He jumped down from the stage with the certificate of honor and walked back to the class. The classmates around him were still making noises. He just happened to walk past Su Peile, and she had already lowered her head with a blushing face.
Li Zhengyu slowed down his pace and whispered to her, "Let's let grandpa treat us tonight."
Su Peile smiled slightly and nodded silently in agreement.
