Chapter 5 The World Becomes Brighter

Tuesday, April 3, cloudy
The originally gray world,
Because of his comforting words,
It becomes brighter.
I didn't know that before a caterpillar turns into a butterfly,
How many times have you had to endure the ridicule and disgust of others?
But he told me,
When the caterpillar turns into a butterfly,
Everyone will love it.

The sky outside was gloomy, but there was no sign of rain, which made people feel depressed and uncomfortable.
I lay on the desk, watching the dazzling white light reflected from Qianxia's clean desk. Her seat was still empty. It had been a whole week, and Qianxia hadn't come to class. Every time I called her, her phone was turned off.
Chinatsu, where on earth have you been?
Did something happen?
The bell rang and the head teacher hurried into the classroom: "Everyone knows that the Cultural Festival will be held in a month and a half, right? The groups will still be free combinations. After you have formed your groups, report the names to me."
"That's great. We can form groups freely again this year. Let's set up a stall together to sell toys, shall we?"
"Okay, okay!"
"Momo, can our group make some snacks to sell?"
For a moment, everyone was immersed in a heated discussion, and I seemed to be the only one forgotten. Chinatsu was not there, and no one was willing to be in the same group with me.
"Weiwei, I..." I mustered up the courage to join Weiwei's group, but she didn't even look at me and kept discussing happily with the people around her.
I looked at her figure, and a feeling of loss instantly filled my heart. Weiwei, is our friendship really gone?
"Cheye, come to our group!"
"Cheye, come to our group, it's more fun!"

I looked up at Cheye not far away. Many girls gathered around him, and then left silently...
"Okay, has everyone signed up?" the head teacher looked around and asked, "Please raise your hands if you haven't signed up yet."
I lowered my head and raised my hands silently!
I should be the only one here. Everyone will definitely make fun of me again. After all, I am the only one alone. I have prepared myself to be laughed at by everyone.
But--
The classroom was unusually quiet.
I looked up in surprise and looked around the classroom, only to see someone in the corner also raising his hand.
It turned out to be Che Ye. He was not in a group with anyone.
The head teacher frowned and said, "Ye Xiya, Yuan Cheye, you two are the only ones who haven't signed up, so you two should form a group."
I lowered my head, ready to be rejected by Cheye, but——
When Cheye's voice rang out, I couldn't believe my ears.
"good!"
What? Cheye actually agreed? I looked up at Cheye in surprise, but Cheye just glanced at me and quickly looked away.
The classmates in the class were immediately furious because of Che Ye’s words.
"What? My ears are not broken, right? Yuan Cheye really agreed to be in a group with Ye Xiya?"
"How strange, hasn't he always hated Ye Xiya?"
"It must be that Ye Xiya is playing some tricks!"

Every word of their ridicule reached my ears without missing a word. Every time this happened, I wished that my ear disease had not been cured, so that I wouldn't be so upset by everyone's words.
"Everyone be quiet! Okay, Ye Xiya, you will be in the same group with Yuan Cheye!" The teacher announced the result directly.
I looked at the blackboard blankly, my hands clenched tightly under the desk, and my heart was like the sky outside the window, only a depressing gray.
For the whole morning, I felt like something was pressing down on me, making me feel suffocated. During lunch break, everyone went to eat, but I had no appetite at all.
The classroom is empty...
I looked at Chinatsu's seat next to me and really hoped that she would come back. If she were here, I wouldn't be so lonely, right?
I walked out of the classroom and slowly walked towards the rooftop of the teaching building.
As long as you stand higher, your vision will become wider, and you will feel more relaxed, right?
I walked to the edge of the rooftop, held onto the railing and looked at the people passing by downstairs. People were walking and chatting in groups of three or five, and everyone had a big smile on their face. They must be very happy.
I looked up at the sky, my nose suddenly felt sore and tears rolled down from the corners of my eyes.
"I have never done anything to hurt others, why does everyone dislike me? Why can't I get everyone's recognition even though I work so hard?"
All the grievances of these days burst out at once, and my heart was like a ship with a hole in it. In an instant, all the salty sea water rushed in and filled my heart.
"Yuan Cheye! Asshole, why don't you ever listen to my explanation?
“Why don’t you trust me and throw away my diary?
"You big fool, you idiot, why do you treat me like this..."
I squatted there, hugged my arms, and cried loudly, tears streaming down the ground.
"Ye Xiya! Have you cursed enough?" A familiar voice suddenly came from not far away.
"Ah?" Following the sound, I found that there was a person lying at the corner on the right, his golden hair swaying softly in the breeze.
"Che Ye? Why, why is it you?" I felt like I was struck by a ten-thousand-volt high-voltage electric current - did he hear what I just said?
"What? It can't be me?" Cheye stood up, dusted himself off, and walked straight to me.
"I... didn't..." I hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything. Why is he here?
"Ye Xiya, is it your hobby to say bad things about people behind their backs?"
Cheye looked so tall, so tall that I felt I could not touch him. His dazzling golden hair dazzled my eyes and prevented me from seeing his expression at that moment.
He must hate me even more, right?
"Ye Xiya, do you know how many times a caterpillar has to endure the ridicule and disgust of others before it turns into a butterfly?" Cheye saw me lowering my head and suddenly said something irrelevant. Before I could answer, he continued, "But when the caterpillar turns into a butterfly, everyone will like it!"
“Che Ye…” I looked up blankly. Against the gray background of the sky, only his golden hair shone brightly, illuminating my gray world.
Is he comforting me?
"If you cry over such trivial matters, I will look down on you!" Che Ye turned around, said this and walked towards the corridor entrance.
"Che..." I hurriedly opened my mouth to call him, but after just one syllable, I didn't dare to shout anymore. Even if I called him, he wouldn't respond to me.
But Cheye suddenly stopped and turned around in my surprised gaze: "What's wrong?"
"I..." I looked at Cheye and finally expressed my inner doubts, "I want to ask you, why did you agree to be in the same group with me?"
"Hmm..." Che Ye suddenly raised one corner of his mouth.
Is he laughing? I stared at him in shock.
"Because, this is the instruction of the gods." Cheye stretched out his hand and pointed to the sky, "It seems that the gods in heaven like you very much."
Well?
I looked at Cheye in confusion, totally not understanding what he was talking about.
"Cheye, what do you mean? Why don't I understand a word you say?"
Cheye didn't answer me, but took out a box of beautifully wrapped chocolates from his pocket and threw it in front of me: "Here you go, I really don't understand why you girls like to give chocolates as gifts, they're so unpalatable."
After saying that, he turned around and walked away without looking back, leaving me standing there holding the chocolate.
A faint warmth gradually spread around me and flowed into my heart bit by bit. A gentle warm breeze blew through my originally cold heart, drying the tears on my face.
It took me a long time to come back to my senses. My heart suddenly became so soft. I looked up at the gray sky and murmured to myself -
"Just now, I was not dreaming, was I?"
In the gray sky, a ray of sunlight fell through the thick clouds...

Monday, April 10th, cloudy to sunny
It's like a dream.
His eyebrows and eyes are still so familiar.
His embrace is still so warm.
But,
Is it that the memory is biased?
The familiar roses no longer smell the way I remember them.
Is it because time has changed all memories?

During this period, the weather has been changeable, a little cool in the morning, and the sun is completely blocked by clouds. But when you look up, you can see that the boundary between the clouds is wrapped in golden edges by the sunlight.
It's a new week again.
I came out of the house carrying my schoolbag, and after taking two steps, I saw a familiar figure standing in front of me.
Her fluffy chocolate-brown hair fell casually in front of her chest, her deer-like clear eyes were filled with smiles, and the corners of her mouth were playfully raised.
It was Chinatsu! It was actually Chinatsu who had disappeared for almost two weeks!
I quickly ran to Chinatsu and said, "Chinatsu, where have you been?" Although I hadn't seen her for only two weeks, it felt like several years!
"A secret." Qianxia smiled mysteriously, raised her right hand and put it on my shoulder, "Let's go, or we'll be late."
Chinatsu held my arm as we walked to school. No matter how much I asked, she would not tell me where she had been or what she had done in the past few days.
In the sky, the clouds drifted away little by little, and soon, large patches of golden sunlight fell from the sky.
Chinatsu and I walked towards the school, chatting and laughing.
"Did you hear about that?" a student wearing our school uniform whispered to another.
"Well, I heard about it. I can't believe they would do such a thing."
“It’s really wonderful!”

Along the way, students wearing Yifeng Academy uniforms kept whispering in groups of three or five.
Huh? What happened again?
I turned around and was about to ask Chinatsu if she knew what was going on, but I saw that she looked relaxed.
I walked into the school in confusion and saw something posted on the bulletin board from a distance. There was a group of people gathered in front of it. Seeing this scene, my heart suddenly jumped to my throat.
Did someone post my diary again?
I hurriedly ran to the bulletin board and just as I was about to tear those things down, I discovered that they were not diaries, but photos one after another, and the protagonists of those photos were...
Jingsen and Weiwei!
There are photos of them arm in arm walking into the hotel, photos of them hugging each other at the entrance of a nightclub, and even photos of them kissing in an exaggerated manner... Judging from the angles from which the photos were taken, they must have been taken secretly.
Looking at these photos, I remembered that my diary was made public by others, and I couldn't help feeling sad.
"What's wrong?" Chixia, who followed me, saw my sad expression and asked in confusion, "Are you unhappy after seeing this?"
"I..." I was about to tell Chinatsu the reason, but suddenly I remembered that when she saw the photo just now, there was no surprise on her face, as if she had known it for a long time. And the secret she mentioned, could it be...
"Is this the secret you are talking about?" I looked at Chinatsu with my eyes wide open in surprise.
"yes!"
"Although Weiwei always targets me, and she was the one who framed me for the recording incident last time, but..."
"Do you think I've gone too far?" Although Chinatsu's mouth was still upturned, she looked extremely unhappy with what I said. "Xia, I know you're kind, but people like you don't deserve sympathy. This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine."
"Chinatsu, what you mean is..." I looked at Chinatsu with my eyes wide open and incredulous, "Are you saying that my diary was posted by Weiwei and Jingsen? No! Impossible! Although Weiwei and I are no longer friends , she would never do this to me!"
"Xia, I know you don't want to believe that it was Weiwei who did it, but you will know the truth soon."
Well……
Although I never doubted what Chinatsu said, I was still unwilling to believe that it could be Weiwei!
No! It can't be Weiwei!
There must be some misunderstanding.
I looked at Chinatsu who looked relaxed with concern: "Chinatsu... if you do this, Imori will definitely not let you go!"
"Ye Xiya, what are you worried about? Are we friends?" Qianxia patted me on the back. "Besides, it's my responsibility to protect you."
"Hmm? Responsibility?" I looked at Chinatsu with some confusion.
"Hehe, that... because we are friends!" A trace of confusion seemed to flash across Chinatsu's face, and then she changed the subject and urged, "Let's go, class is about to start."
I was deeply moved by what she said, "We are friends." Although Chinatsu's behavior was a bit excessive, when I thought that she was trying to seek justice for me, a warm feeling suddenly surged in my heart. Chinatsu, thank you!
In the classroom, almost everyone was holding a photo and discussing it excitedly.
I glanced at Weiwei's seat. She hadn't arrived in the classroom yet. Someone had thrown a few photos on the clean desk as a prank.
After seeing this, Weiwei will definitely be as angry and sad as I was back then.
Although Weiwei no longer considers me a friend, I still don't want her to be sad. Just as I was about to take the photos away quietly, someone suddenly rushed to me and threw a stack of photos on my table in a rage before I could react.
I looked down and saw the photo of Jingsen and Weiwei. When I looked up, I saw Weiwei with an angry face.
“Ye Xiya, you’ve gone too far!” Weiwei seemed to want to kill me with her eyes.
"Weiwei, listen to me..." I was about to explain when I was interrupted by Qianxia.
"What are you doing!" Qianxia pulled me behind her and looked straight at Weiwei.
"What should I do? Don't think I don't know. This must have been done by Ye Xiya!" Weiwei's breathing was rapid, as if she was full of anger.
"I..." I poked my head out from behind Chinatsu, uttered a syllable, but didn't know what to say. If I said sorry, Chinatsu would definitely be angry.
" You're speechless , right? Ye Xiya, you've gone too far!" Weiwei looked at me with gritted teeth, as if she wanted to chew me into pieces and swallow me into her stomach.
"Do you have any evidence?" Qianxia pressed my head back behind her and looked at Weiwei with an indifferent expression.
"I..." Weiwei was choked by Qianxia and couldn't say a word to refute.
Qianxia looked at the speechless Weiwei and raised the left corner of her mouth: "There is no evidence, please don't embarrass yourself here, you are blocking my light by standing here!"
"you!"
"I'm fine!" There was a playful light in Chinatsu's lively eyes, but her smile was as beautiful as the most innocent angel.
Weiwei was so angry that her face turned red, and there seemed to be smoke rising from her head: "Anyway, I am sure that Ye Xiya did it!"
"Miss, can you please show me the evidence?" Qianxia looked at Weiwei with a teasing expression, "I'm afraid a girl as innocent as Xia wouldn't even be able to find the places in the photo, right? Haha."
"Qianxia, ​​shut up. If you have the guts, let Ye Xiya tell me herself!" Weiwei was so excited that the veins on her neck stood out. "Ye Xiya, even if you hate me, it's too shameless to treat me this way!"
"There must be a lot of people who hate you! Why don't you go find them?" Qianxia's casual words made Weiwei so anxious that her eyes turned red.
"Because, because, because..." Weiwei stammered a few "becauses", and finally looked at me and said weakly, "Because only Ye Xiya hates us!"
Qianxia suddenly put her face close to Weiwei who was avoiding her gaze. I stretched my head and saw that her nose was almost touching Weiwei's nose. Her eyes curved into crescents and the upward curve of her mouth became more and more obvious.
"But I heard that many people hate you because of your arrogance! Unless... Xia has a reason to hate you more than them."
What did Chinatsu mean? I looked at her in confusion. What on earth was she going to do? I felt something in my heart, but I couldn't tell what it was.
"No, no!" Weiwei was forced to take two steps back by Qianxia's actions, and her tone suddenly became flustered.
"Really?" Qianxia took a few steps forward, maintaining the same movements as before, "Since Xiya has no reason to hate you more than others, then the so-called evidence is just your own guess. Then you have even less reason to cause trouble for Ye Xiya. Please don't embarrass yourself here, everyone is watching!"
Sure enough, before we knew it, we were surrounded by classmates. Everyone looked at Weiwei with mocking eyes, and someone even shouted at Weiwei: "Weiwei, stop fooling around here!"
"That's right, Weiwei, stop it!"
Weiwei felt everyone's laughter and her last bit of rationality collapsed.
"What do you know! Ye Xiya must have followed and secretly photographed us to get revenge on me and Jing Sen. Yes! It was me who posted her diary on the bulletin board, and it was also me who uploaded the last photo to the Internet! So no one will hate me more than Ye Xiya!" Weiwei took a few steps back, clenched her fists, her facial features twisted with anger.
The moment Weiwei admitted it, Qianxia had already retreated to her original position, with her arms crossed over her chest, looking at Weiwei with cold eyes.
Weiwei’s words made my vision blurry. My body seemed to have lost all its strength. My originally straight back suddenly leaned weakly against the chair.
Everything in front of me was like a frozen computer, with all images frozen at that moment.
Is it really Vivi?
There were a thousand and ten thousand reasons in my heart that I didn't want to believe that it was Vivi, but Chinatsu was right!
Weiwei, do you hate me so much? We used to go to school together, go shopping together, and go to Lingnan to watch FLY performances together...
Is this all a thing of the past?
"Weiwei, you..." I looked at Weiwei in front of me, wanting to say something, but I couldn't say anything.
"Ye Xiya! I didn't expect that you have learned to use such vicious means now! Why should I be treated like this by you?" Weiwei said as she rushed to me and raised her hand angrily to slap me in the face.
My mind was still blank. I watched Weiwei's hand getting closer and closer to me, but my body was unable to react at all.
“Pah—”
The crisp sound instantly quieted the entire classroom.
Weiwei covered her face, her whole body trembling slightly with anger, but she could only express her anger with her eyes, because the person who hit her was Chinatsu, whom she didn't dare to fight with.
"Qi Weiwei, I'm warning you, if you dare to bully Xiaya again in the future, I will never let you off like I did now!" There was a rare coldness on Qianxia's face, and her eyes were filled with strong warnings.
"You! You..." Weiwei looked at Qianxia angrily, but couldn't say anything. Her face turned red and her facial features were distorted.
"Qi Weiwei, I warn you again, I, Qianxia, ​​am not as kind as Xia. If you piss me off, the consequences will be something you won't be able to bear!"
Faced with Qianxia's powerful momentum, Weiwei didn't dare to say another word. She lowered her head and didn't know what she was thinking.
The classmates around her also started pointing fingers at Weiwei.
"Weiwei, this is what's wrong with you!"
"Weiwei, even though we are good sisters, I won't help you this time!"
Weiwei suddenly became the target of public criticism.
I looked at Chinatsu beside me. She must be the angel sent by God to help me, pulling me out of the abyss of darkness and giving me a ray of light to illuminate my dark world.
Chinatsu, thank you, thank you for everything you have done for me...
Just when I was about to thank Chinatsu, a boy rushed in from the door.
He ran to the podium in a panic, gasping for breath as he said, "Che...Ye and...Jingsen were...fighting...on the playground!"
"What!" I jumped up from my seat. What happened?
Without even a second thought, I pulled Chinatsu and ran towards the playground as fast as I could.
The surrounding scenery was rapidly receding, and the playground soon appeared in front of me.
On the playground, Cheye and Jingsen had already started fighting.
There were traces of blood at the corners of Cheye's mouth, and his body was dirty. Jingsen not only had blood at the corners of his mouth, but also had blood flowing from his nose, and he looked very embarrassed.
No! This will hurt Cheye! I desperately wanted to rush over to stop the fight, but Qianxia grabbed me.
"Xia, look." Chinatsu pointed to the ground with a calm expression.
It was then that I noticed many photos scattered on the ground. Upon closer inspection, they were photos of Jingsen and Weiwei.
Could it be that...
I looked up at Cheye, who had an angry face. In the sunlight, his golden hair sparkled.
Could it be that Cheye and Jingsen were fighting because of me...
"If Yuan Cheye really fought for you, then I really was wrong!" Qianxia looked at everything in front of her with an uncertain look.
I looked at Cheye stupidly, my eyes slowly became moist...
Under Cheye's fierce attack, Jingsen was becoming increasingly unable to hold on. Finally, with one punch from Cheye, he flew out and fell heavily to the ground.
"Jingsen, if you and Weiwei dare to do this again, don't blame me for being rude!"
"Yuan Cheye, don't think I'm afraid of you!" Jing Sen, who was knocked down, got up, yelled loudly at Cheye, and stretched out his fist to hit Cheye hard.
At this moment, Weiwei suddenly rushed behind Cheye, holding a stone in her hand, and smashed it hard on the back of his head with a ferocious look on her face.
"don't want!"
My whole body was stiff, but then I quickly jumped out like a spring and rushed behind Cheye...
"Bang--"
The stone hit me hard on the forehead, and a stream of warm liquid quickly flowed down from my forehead. My brain felt dizzy from the violent impact, and the liquid that kept flowing down my forehead made it impossible for me to open my eyes. The liquid flowed down my cheeks to the edge of my mouth, and a strong smell of blood filled the air...
“Shia——”
"Ye Xiya——"
In the blur, I saw Che Ye turned around and glared at Wei Wei fiercely, his voice filled with uncontrollable anger: "Qi Wei Wei! If you don't disappear immediately, don't blame me for hitting you!"
After hearing what Cheye said, Weiwei supported Jingsen and left in a hurry.
In just a moment, the dizziness in my head became more and more intense, and a buzzing sound similar to that of an ancient bell kept echoing in my head.
My legs suddenly felt weak for no apparent reason, as if I was about to collapse to the ground. Just as I was ready to fall to the ground, I suddenly found myself suspended in mid-air.
Before I could react, the scent of roses suddenly came into my nose. But why was it different from the rose scent in my memory?
I raised my head and wiped the red liquid from the corners of my eyes with my hand, and a beautiful face appeared in my sight.
His chin was still as clean and beautiful as before, his lips were tightly pursed, revealing an air of aloofness. From this angle, his eyelashes were so long...
Am I in Cheye’s arms?
However, this feeling seems so unreal to me. I feel light and airy, as if I am dreaming.
Am I dreaming?
Cheye held me in his arms and strode towards the infirmary.
Along the way, I could only hear footsteps and Cheye's strong heartbeat, as if everything was separated by an invisible barrier.
The sunlight falls through the gaps between the leaves, leaving a chaotic patch of light. The leaves of different shades form a green ocean. Are we in the depths of the ocean?
Although the wound on my forehead was in severe pain, I felt that it was all worth it as long as Cheye was okay.
"Che Ye, were you hurt just now?" Although the wound on my forehead was very painful, I still couldn't help asking because I was worried about him.
"Idiot, I'm not hurt, you are the one who is hurt."
Did Cheye answer me just now? And his voice was not cold at all, but gentle as the softest marshmallow.
I opened my eyes wide in disbelief, and grabbed Cheye's sleeve tightly with my left hand: "You just answered me, didn't you?"
"Idiot." Cheye's voice was still soft, making me feel unreal.
"Yes, I am a fool, I am a fool. As long as you are willing to forgive me, I am willing to be a fool." I completely forgot the severe pain on my forehead and happily answered Che Ye's words.
I really don’t want to continue to be so distant from Che Ye. Although I like Xu Yi now, I still hope to be good friends with Che Ye.
After saying that, I felt like such an idiot, so I embarrassedly buried my face in Cheye's arms.
"Ah... it hurts..." I forgot that I was injured. Accidentally, the wound on my forehead hit Cheye's chest. The severe pain made me scream out.
"Ye Xiya, be quiet! Don't move again! If you touch the wound again, I will throw you down!" Che Ye frowned and gave me the ultimate order.
"Oh, I..." Before I could finish my sentence, I suddenly felt a black screen in front of my eyes...
When I woke up, the doctor was bandaging my wound.
Cheye stood at the door with his back to me.
Looking at Cheye’s back, I suddenly felt that the rose scent just now was all in my dream. Is the dream about to end now?
"Okay!" The doctor's words interrupted my thoughts, and I smiled at the doctor gratefully.
"Cheye..." I called out the name softly.
Cheye turned his head and looked at me, his face was like the sky without clouds, so clean that there was no expression at all.
"Cheye, thank you..."
"This is what I should do. You were injured because of me." Cheye paused here, looked at me deeply, and finally pursed his lips, "Ye Xiya, take good care of yourself! Did you hear me?"
There was no emotion in Cheye's voice. After he finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the infirmary as if he had never been there.
I stood there in a daze, not knowing what had happened. Was everything just a dream? But the scent of roses still lingered in the air, and Cheye's strong heartbeat still echoed in my ears.
Obviously, all of this really happened, didn't it?
The sky is still blue, the sun is still shining brightly on the ground, and nothing seems to have changed.
However, I vaguely felt that my life seemed to have undergone inexplicable changes...
What has changed?

Friday, April 13th, sunny
If you don't know the reason for some things,
Then don't think about it anymore.
I just want to cherish the present moment.
Then try harder to become good friends with him.
Because I am afraid of these beautiful things,
Will disappear again.

The temperature was a little cool in the morning, and the thick clouds made it impossible to see exactly where the sun was falling. One could only feel that the light outside was bright enough to make one dizzy.
Ever since the " injury incident", the relationship between Cheye and I has changed a lot. He no longer treats me coldly, and even often smiles at me, which I haven't smiled for a long time.
Just when I was immersed in my own world, Chinatsu beside me suddenly interrupted my thoughts.
"Teacher, I want to participate in the cultural festival activities too!"
When I called Chinatsu last night and told her about the cultural festival, she firmly said that she must attend and also said that she would protect me from being bullied by Cheye.
"When we were dividing the groups that day, Chinatsu was not there, right?" The head teacher pushed his glasses and looked at Chinatsu and said gently.
"Well, teacher, I just transferred to Yifeng and have never participated in Yifeng's Cultural Festival. I heard that the activities of Yifeng Cultural Festival are very attractive, and I have always wanted to participate. Teacher, can I be in the same group with Xia?" Qianxia looked at the head teacher with longing.
"Is that so... Haha, since Chinatsu insists so much, let's be in the same group with Ye Xiya!" The head teacher "surrendered" at Chinatsu's sweet smile.
"Thank you, teacher!" Chinatsu smiled at the teacher and made an "OK" gesture to me under the table.
I finally made it through school and found out that it was our group's turn on duty today.
"Ye Xiya!" Weiwei's voice sounded behind me. I turned around and saw Weiwei and several girls in our group looking at me with smiles on their faces.
"What?"
"Everyone's cleaning tasks have been arranged. You are responsible for fetching water and wiping the windows. Go fetch the water!" One of the girls looked at me and said.
"Oh, okay!" Seeing everyone's friendly smiles, I picked up the bucket without thinking and went to the corridor outside to fetch water.
Hey, is the faucet broken? Why is there still no water even though I turned it to the maximum? I knocked on the faucet, but it still didn't respond. Forget it, let's go get some water somewhere else. I turned and ran downstairs. After turning on the faucet downstairs, there was still no water. What happened? Is there no water in our entire building? Then let's go to the building next door.
"What are you doing?" A familiar voice came from behind.
I turned around and saw a handsome and clean face with dazzling golden hair gently dancing in the wind.
"Oh, I'll go get some water!" I raised the bucket in my hand towards Cheye.
"Idiot, because of maintenance, the water supply to the first few buildings in the school has been cut off. Only the last building has water. Don't you know?" Che Ye frowned slightly.
"Ah?" I looked at Che Ye in surprise. No wonder Weiwei and the others asked me to fetch water.
"You're such an idiot!" Che Ye glared at me, snatched the bucket from my hand, turned around and walked towards the last teaching building.
I quickly followed him: "Cheye, what are you going to do?"
Without even turning his head, Cheye said, "Bring water!"
"Ah..." I was stunned for a moment, looking at Cheye's back, and suddenly understood what he meant. It turned out that he wanted to help me fetch water.
The setting sun painted the sky a bright crimson color, and the whole earth seemed to be covered with a hazy and beautiful veil.
Cheye's golden hair became more dazzling and warmer in the sunset.
"Cheye...wait for me!" I hurriedly caught up with Cheye, not wanting to let this golden warmth get away from me.
Hey, what is that? It seems to be moving!
There was a furry thing not far from Cheye. I walked over slowly and saw that it turned out to be a puppy!
The puppy was sleeping on the ground. When he heard my footsteps, he looked up at me alertly and went back to sleep.
"Cheye, Cheye, look, there's a very cute puppy!" I squatted beside the puppy in surprise, and was about to reach out to touch it.
"Stop! Ye Xiya, come here!" A look of disgust appeared on Che Ye's face. He stood ten meters away from the puppy and refused to take another step forward.
I looked at Cheye's strange behavior in confusion: " What's wrong ?"
"Nothing, just come here quickly!" Che Ye's face showed impatience.
"Oh!" Although my mind was full of questions, I still walked towards Cheye obediently.
Only when he was far away from the puppy did Cheye's tense face relax.
What happened to Cheye? I remember we used to play with puppies together, but why does he seem to hate puppies now? What happened?
I looked at Cheye's profile, and a strange feeling came over me...
On the way back to the classroom, I looked at Cheye who was silent and asked, "Cheye, is it very heavy?"
Che Ye didn't say anything, but pursed his lips tightly. Tiny beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and nose tip, and under the setting sun, they emitted tiny rays of light.
Our two shadows kept separating and overlapping, overlapping and separating as the light and shadow changed...
When we were almost at the classroom door, Cheye glanced at me and said, "Don't do such stupid things next time. You are such an idiot!"
"I didn't..." I wanted to explain to Cheye that it was because I didn't know the water supply was cut off, but before I could finish my words, he walked into the classroom carrying water, and I hurriedly followed him.
Under the shocked gazes of Weiwei and the others, Cheye put down the bucket in his hand and looked at Weiwei and the others with indifference: "Do you really think Ye Xiya is easy to bully?"
Weiwei stood opposite me without saying a word, just looking at me indifferently.
The others responded in unison: "No, Cheye, what did you say? Haha, how could we possibly bully Xiya."
"Yes, yes! Cheye, you misunderstood!"
"That's good." Cheye raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a faint smile, "If there is, I will definitely get it back for Xiaya."
When I heard these words, waves of warmth surged in my heart.
I ignored the complicated looks from Weiwei and the others and started cleaning the windows.
The color of the sunset in the sky became more and more intense, but the sky became darker and darker. The buildings in the distance had lit up with colorful neon lights. I stood by the window of the teaching building and looked into the distance.
What on earth is Cheye thinking about right now? Why did his attitude suddenly change?
The words Cheye said on the rooftop that day echoed in my mind again...
"Because this is the instruction of God."
"It seems like the gods in heaven like you very much."
What on earth did Cheye mean by that? Why didn't I understand anything at all?
Everything is like a ball of thread with no end. Since I can't find the end, no matter how hard I pull, it's useless...
But no matter what, Cheye has finally forgiven me now, and that’s enough!
Come on, Ye Xiya, you can definitely become good friends with Che Ye...
