Chapter 6: Tangled Relationship one
I have been in a very good mood recently and my study efficiency has been very high. Before I knew it, the semester is almost over.
"Sakiko, come to my office after class." My homeroom teacher, Mr. Ren, suddenly said this during class, which made my heart skip a beat.
What I feared most was that the news of my going to St. John's would reach the ears of my homeroom teacher, or that Mu Yege had been pursuing me recently. You know, premature love is a serious sin. I was making a draft in my mind, thinking about how to deal with it.
"Are you nervous?" Xun Yiran suddenly asked in a low voice.
"I'm not nervous." I pretended to be calm and said, "I'm the study committee member. It's almost the end of the semester. It's normal for the teacher to ask me something."
"Yeah, I also feel like you seem to be in trouble recently." Xun Yiran smiled slightly, her eyes bright.
After class, I walked towards the office nervously. Through the office door, I saw Teacher Ren drinking tea. I knocked on the door and went in.
When Teacher Ren saw me come in, he coughed lightly and sat up straight.
"Teacher Ren, what do you want to talk to me about?" I asked as calmly as possible.
"You submitted a transfer application before, and it has been approved. The results of this final exam will be the assessment. If you can meet the requirements there, you can transfer." Teacher Ren looked at me and said.
I was surprised and happy. I didn't expect it to be this. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and my face was full of joy.
"You are so happy, but you don't want to stay in Seyo?" Teacher Ren's face tightened and his smile turned into a serious look.
I immediately stopped smiling and shook my head: "No, no, I am very happy studying and living in Seryo. Thank you Teacher Ren for your care. I also had a great time getting along with my classmates. Although the time was short, I will never forget this time!"
"When did you become so good at talking, like a little adult. I felt that you were different from those students from the first day of school, so I paid more attention to you. Serjo is indeed good, but people always want to move up. St. John's is a better place, and naturally the academic competition is more intense. If you can really transfer there, you must work harder and not bring shame to your alma mater." Teacher Ren looked at me seriously and said.
I nodded continuously, feeling a lot of emotions in my heart. I had studied here for three years, but Teacher Ren didn't like me very much. Although the exams hadn't started yet, I couldn't help but feel sad: "I know, I will continue to study hard, and Teacher Ren should also pay more attention to rest and take care of his health."
"Okay, go back and prepare well." Teacher Ren smiled at me and waved his hand for me to go out.
I returned to the classroom and sat down, my hands clenched into fists. The moment of the decisive battle is coming, St. John, wait for me!
"What's the matter that the teacher asked you to go?" Xun Yiran asked me in a low voice.
"It's nothing. I just told you about my recent studies. The final exam is coming up soon." I said lightly.
"It's good to be a study committee member. You can get the teacher to give you special instructions on everything." Xun Yiran's words sounded sour.
I think she was talking about Muye Ge. When I thought of Muye Ge, I still felt a little unhappy. I wanted to ask Xun Yiran directly, but I felt it was inappropriate, so I simply didn't mention it.
"The teacher treats everyone equally. There's no need for any special instructions. If you like me, I can give you the position of study committee member."
"No, no, I don't want to get involved and I don't want to see the teacher more often." Xun Yiran shook her head repeatedly and ignored me.
I was happy to ignore her and study hard. I must not make any mistakes this time! So, I started to study hard again, spending my time in the sea of questions from morning to night. I even brought my books with me when I went to see An Yixuan at noon. He was playing ball on the playground, and I was reciting the book on the side, looking at him from time to time, but my attention was still on the book.
An Yixuan was wearing a white sleeveless sportswear today, revealing the muscles on his arms. The white sportswear made his skin look even whiter. How could there be such a white boy? I complained in my heart, and then looked at myself. It seemed that I was not as white as him! The ball was passed to him. He held the ball and dodged left and right to shoot a three-pointer. His movements were as handsome as Rukawa Kaede in Slam Dunk. Sure enough, the girls around screamed again. He shook his hair very coolly and glanced at me. I immediately smiled in response, and An Yixuan continued to play basketball.
He was working hard on the court, and I was studying hard off the court. There were so many girls screaming for him, so I was not missing one more! I was studying hard and naturally ignored An Yixuan on the court. So after he finished playing, I didn't go up to him to offer him water or a towel. He wiped his sweat with a towel and walked towards me with water.
"Who is that girl? I seem to see her often recently?"
"I don't know. I don't think I've seen her before. Did An Yixuan go to find her?"
"No way, a washboard with a doll's head, will An Yixuan like her if she looks like this?"
"Ahhh, An Yixuan really walked towards her!"
"That's because you're too timid to take the initiative. Have you forgotten the time when An Yixuan scolded her?"
"Ahh, when?"
"She just sticks to An Yixuan every day. It's so annoying and so low-class."
The girls around me were whispering loudly. I raised my head, which was a little dizzy from reading, and saw the tall and handsome An Yixuan walking towards me step by step with a complaining expression on his face.
I blinked my eyes, and the eyes around me seemed to be shot at me like sharp swords. If eyes could kill me, I would have been pierced by thousands of arrows from the onlookers.
"What are you looking at so intently?" An Yixuan stood in front of me and reached out to tap me lightly on the head.
I looked up at An Yixuan in the dazzling sunlight, and I felt like he was a prince from a comic book. I squinted my eyes slightly, lowered my head, picked up the textbook and said, "I'm reciting the text."
"Are you so diligent recently? Even making you recite at noon?" An Yixuan asked puzzled.
"Yeah, the exams are coming up soon, and I don't want to fall behind." I packed up my things and stood up and said, it would be better not to tell him yet that the results of this exam will determine whether I can enter St. John's. Wouldn't it be better to give him a surprise when I transfer next semester?
If he sees me in the classroom at the beginning of the next semester, what will it be like? Will he be surprised or give me a cold look? Will he take the initiative to sit next to me? Even if we are not in the same class, he will be surprised to know that I study at St. John's. From now on, we can be together openly! Humph, I rolled my eyes at the girls who whispered just now. You will have nothing to do with me by then!
"What are you thinking about?" An Yixuan looked at me and asked, his eyes a little confused, "Are you stupid from studying?"
"No, no, I just thought of a test question. Let's go eat something." I quickly put away my fantasy and pulled him to have lunch.
After dinner, An Yixuan didn't rush to send me off, but asked me to wait for him. He ran back to the classroom and took out a handwritten exercise book for me, his expression still arrogant as always: "I compiled it when I had nothing to do, maybe it can help you, you can use it."
"Wow, so detailed. Thank you." I took the exercise book made of A4 paper, my heart filled with sweetness and joy. If he could write out each question for me one by one, how could it be written when he was bored? It was clearly done specially for me.
"You just smile foolishly. Prepare well for the exam." An Yixuan rolled his eyes at me.
"I see. Thank you!" I carefully put away the exercise book and then climbed over the wall back to school.
Ever since Makino Ge told me about climbing over the wall, I have been very careful every time I climbed over the wall, for fear of being seen. I also always go around in a circle before returning to school so that people would not think that I came from St. John's.
In the afternoon, I was reading a book and suddenly I felt my bag vibrate a little. I carefully took out my mobile phone and saw it was an unfamiliar text message. It said arrogantly: Please stay away from An Yixuan, it is impossible for you two to be together, because I am the type that An Yixuan likes, and An Yixuan and I will get along very happily, you should know yourself.
My hand holding the phone was a little tight. In high school, An Yixuan had always been popular with girls and had always had a girlfriend. I felt nervous for some reason. Was one of his girlfriends going to show up? According to the predetermined trajectory of fate, the person who was supposed to show up would definitely show up, but An Yixuan, shouldn't An Yixuan like me now? I put the phone back into my schoolbag and walked out of the classroom to breathe the fresh air outside.
"They actually sent me this kind of text message. High school girls are so unrestrained and don't know how to hide themselves." I leaned on the railing and muttered to myself, feeling a little melancholy. Even if An Yixuan has a good impression of me now, can something destined really be changed? I thought of a girl who was like a shadow again. Will she... still be my nightmare?
"Hey, what are you talking about? You're still a high school girl. Aren't you also a high school girl?" Makino Ge said with a smile behind me.
I was startled and turned around to glare at him: "Why did you suddenly hide behind me and eavesdrop on me? Are you trying to scare me to death?" I patted my chest and felt relieved. Didn't Mu Yege fall in love with me? It wasn't like this 10 years ago. Since Mu Yege didn't like Xun Yiran, then An Yixuan shouldn't fall in love with someone else, right?
"I was just about to say hello to you. What's wrong? Did someone bully you?" Makino Ge frowned, looking innocent, and lay on the railing next to me.
