Chapter 6: Tangled Relationship two
I didn't want to talk much, so I quietly leaned on the railing and watched the students coming and going below. Even in school uniforms, they looked very beautiful, with collagen all over their faces, unlike 10 years later, when everyone was made from the same mold. The students at that time were also much more complicated than they are now. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but hold my face and say, "It's great to be young."
"Why do you make yourself sound so old? You're only in the first year of high school." Makino Ge said with a smile. His profile was so beautiful in the sunlight. If he hadn't grown ugly, he could have really developed a career in the entertainment industry.
"You don't understand. Sometimes you can't just look at the appearance. Can't someone be young on the outside and mature on the inside?" I pouted and retorted. But my soul is that of a 26-year-old adult, and it certainly feels different to look at everything from an adult's perspective.
Makinoge looked confused, but she still followed my words and said, "Okay, whatever you say is right, but I think there is no need to think too much about many things. We are still young, why should we have so many burdens."
" Yeah, why think so much? We are still young anyway, and there is still plenty of time." I repeated his words, and the sadness in my heart dissipated a little. I have met An Yixuan, I have returned to the age of 16, and there is still so much time, what should I be afraid of?
"When did you two become so talkative?" Xun Yiran, who had just finished using the bathroom, saw me and Makinoge on her way back to the classroom. The smile on her face was a little stiff and her tone was very unhappy. She came over and interjected.
Makinoge then said with a smile: "We always get along well, do you want to chat together?"
"I'm going back to the classroom." Xun Yiran showed no interest and turned into the classroom.
"I'm going back too. Class is almost starting." I followed Xun Yiran into the classroom.
"Let's go together after school!" Makino Ge said behind me.
"Let's talk about it later." I said casually. I had to go home after school, and if I really went home with him, I didn't know what would happen among my classmates.
When I was packing my bag and getting ready to leave after school in the evening, Makino Ge appeared at the door of my classroom. I felt a headache when I saw him.
"Aren't you going home?" I walked to the classroom door and asked him.
"Go back. I passed by your classroom and saw that you were leaving too. Let's go together." Makino Ge said with a smile.
I shook my head helplessly, picked up my backpack and walked out of the campus with him. Xun Yiran also came out by coincidence, keeping a distance from us, which made me feel embarrassed.
As soon as I walked out of the school gate, I was stunned. An Yixuan stood tall and graceful outside the school, his eyes like black jade searching for me among the crowd. When he saw me, his eyes suddenly lit up and a smile appeared on his face, but the smile soon froze because he saw Mu Yege beside me.
"Wow, that's An Yixuan, the school idol of St. John's School. Why is he here?"
"You girls just have no taste. He's still handsome like that."
"So handsome, does he have any acquaintances in our school?"
"Ah, is that girl called Sha Xizi? An Yixuan seems to be looking at her, and she is accompanied by Makino Ge. Is there going to be something interesting to watch?"
I broke out in a cold sweat after hearing my classmates' whispers, but An Yixuan stared at me with a calm expression, as if waiting for me to come over.
I immediately turned to Makinoge and said, "My friend is here to see me, let's go our separate ways."
"It's on our way anyway, let's go together." Makinoge seemed to not understand what I said at all and still wanted to follow me.
I bit my lip and walked towards An Yixuan: "Hi, what a coincidence."
"It's not a coincidence. I'm here to wait for you to go home together." An Yixuan said lightly, and at the same time raised his eyebrows and looked at Mu Yege beside me.
"Ah, then let's go together. This is my classmate Muye Ge. Well, I'm going home. Goodbye." I didn't want An Yixuan to have any misunderstanding, so I continued to say goodbye to Muye Ge, but Muye Ge had no intention of leaving at all.
"What a coincidence, I'm also heading in that direction today. Let's go together." Xun Yiran, who had been behind us, suddenly came out and said.
"Really? Then let's go together, the four of us, so we'll have someone to keep us company on the road." Makino Ge said with a smile.
I just felt countless black lines sliding down my forehead. An Yixuan still had no expression on his face, and he took the lead. I hurried to catch up with him, and Mu Yege and Xun Yiran also walked with us.
All along the way, An Yixuan ignored me and had no expression. I secretly wailed that I was doomed this time. An Yixuan must be very angry. He often had no expression when he was angry. But now he seemed to be even angrier than before. The temper of adolescent boys was really unpredictable. Would he misunderstand me and Mu Yege?
I thought about how he used to stare at me when he was angry, waiting for me to apologize and beg for mercy. Sometimes I ignored him on purpose, and he would take the initiative to reconcile with me . It seemed that once I made him angry, and he stood downstairs of my house waiting for me to come home, and then looked at me with a cold face and asked me if I had any explanation.
"I was wrong. Don't be angry. You're not handsome when you're angry. I'll make something delicious for you, okay?" There was a faint smile in the corners of my eyes and eyebrows. He was angry because he cared about me.
"You're still laughing? Humph, I'm really angry." An Yixuan crossed his arms and glared at me, with the dimples on his face faintly visible.
Even when he was angry, he was cute. My body softened and I threw myself into his arms, apologizing coquettishly without caring about anything else: "Please forgive me, you are the most important person in my heart."
"Go away, who wants to hug you?" An Yixuan said with disgust, but did not push me away.
I just leaned hard on his embrace and said, "Don't be angry. If you are angry, I will cry."
"There's nothing I can do about you. From now on, don't get too close to people who try to pursue you." An Yixuan rubbed my hair.
My heart was filled with sweetness and I hugged him tighter.
"There's a place selling delicious wontons here. We can go there together next time we pass by." Makino Ge looked at me and pointed at a small wonton shop.
"The taste is just so-so. If you want to eat it, you can go with Yiran." I answered without much interest.
"Chaos? I don't like it very much either. I like to eat rice noodles." Xun Yiran stuck out her tongue.
Makinoge touched his hair and smiled foolishly, continuing to make small talk: "You walk home by yourself after school every day, don't you think it's far?"
"I can exercise, but I like walking." I said casually. I walk this road home less and less every time. I want to experience it more! This street will soon be demolished, and I will never see these big trees and familiar shops again.
"The final exams are coming up soon. I've been feeling so stressed lately. Muye Ge, you have such good grades, it must be very easy for you." Xun Yiran walked beside Muye Ge and talked to him.
"It's not easy at all. I study, read books and do exercises every day. I'm not a particularly smart person. It's all due to hard work." Makino Ge said honestly. This is a good thing. Unlike other people, they study until late at night and still tell others that they never study.
It's just that this scene reminds me of the past, when Mu Yege and Xun Yiran were the ones talking, and I would occasionally chime in. I also took this journey home back then, but it was completely different from the feeling I get now.
At that time, Xun Yiran and Mu Yege were going home together, but they felt embarrassed and dragged me along. Although we could have gone together, we just took a detour. I was just a light bulb at that time. I followed them with my schoolbag and watched them talk. I always felt very bored and sad.
At this moment, the three of us were chatting idly, only An Yixuan was walking silently in front.
"School is over early today." I walked to An Yixuan and made small talk.
An Yixuan looked like he didn't want to pay attention to me, and just nodded coldly. I broke out in a cold sweat. He hadn't been so cold to me for a long time. But I changed my mind and felt a little happy. If he was jealous, it proved that he really liked me! I secretly looked at An Yixuan's expression. Although he had a cold face, a very stiff expression, and a little impatient, he was still very handsome and charming! I lowered my head and bit my lips slightly, revealing a faint smile, and my heart seemed to be filled with honey.
