Chapter 7 Primary School Students
Chen Shuya is a restless sleeper and always likes to kick off the quilt, so catching colds is commonplace, but she doesn't like taking medicine because she is afraid of the bitterness.
So when Chen Shuya drank the medicine painfully in front of Cheng Xiang, Cheng Xiang was stunned.
“So bitter?”
Chen Shuya swallowed the last sip of the medicine with a grim face and nodded frantically in response to Cheng Xiang.
Cheng Xiang chuckled, took out a White Rabbit candy from his pocket and handed it to Chen Shuya: "Suppress the bitterness."
"Thank you." Chen Shuya took the candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and put it in her mouth. The milky aroma spread in her mouth, quickly covering up the bitter taste of the medicine.
It was the end of class time, and Chen Shuya was free to talk to Cheng Xiang: " Does Zhang Yeshi from Class 3 like you?"
Cheng Xiang didn't even raise his eyelids: "I don't know ."
Chen Shuya curled her lips and said with emotion: "I'm so envious that so many people like it."
Hearing this, Cheng Xiang raised his eyes and said with a smile: "Why, you like me too?"
Realizing that he was joking with her, Chen Shuya glanced at him and said softly, "With so many people liking you, it will take until the next life for me to get my turn."
Cheng Xiang quietly watched the man in front of him muttering, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he slowly said: "What if I am only willing to accept you?"
Chen Shuya, who was chewing a candy, paused. She turned her head in shock and looked at Cheng Xiang, who was looking at her with interest.
Before Chen Shuya could say anything, Cheng Xiang smiled and lowered his head to continue reading: "Just kidding, elementary school student."
Realizing that she had been fooled, Chen Shuya punched Cheng Xiang's hand: "You are just an elementary school student."
After that, she turned around and started reading.
The smile in Cheng Xiang's eyes deepened. He shook his head and said nothing more.
The Honor Roll of No. 1 Middle School is located just after the school gate. When school was over, Ning Yan left first because of something. Chen Shuya packed her schoolbag slowly by herself. When she passed by the Honor Roll, she paused.
After hesitating for a while, she moved to the honor roll. When her eyes found her own photo, Chen Shuya's body stiffened.
She was born beautiful and photogenic. I saw her photo on the honor roll once and she was very beautiful. But now, her face in the photo has been painted over beyond recognition with black paint.
Chen Shuya lowered her eyes and stood there in a daze.
After a long time, Chen Shuya took out a wet wipe from her schoolbag and gently wiped off the black mass covering her face.
As soon as I stepped out of the school gate, I heard a female voice: "Chen Shuya."
Chen Shuya paused and looked in the direction of the voice.
A girl with dyed blond hair was standing on the street in front of the school gate, holding a cigarette in her hand, and a girl in school uniform was standing next to her.
Chen Shuya recognized her, Zhang Yeshi from Class 3.
Zhang Yeshi walked quickly to her, with a smile on her delicate face: "Hello, are you Chen Shuya?"
Chen Shuya glanced at the blond girl who was walking over with her and took two steps back: "It's me."
Hearing this, Zhang Yesi and the blond girl exchanged glances, and then Zhang Yesi put her hand on Chen Shuya's shoulder with a smile.
"I have something to tell you, come with me."
Then, Zhang Yeshi took Chen Shuya in one direction without any explanation. Chen Shuya saw that she smiled harmlessly and felt it was difficult to refuse.
When she was brought to the place, Chen Shuya found something was wrong.
Zhang Yeshi took her to a small alley near the school where almost no one came. The three of them stood still, and Chen Shuya timidly asked, "What's the matter?"
Zhang Yeshi did not answer her. She turned around and asked the blonde girl for a cigarette, lit it, and blew a circle of smoke at Chen Shuya.
"Cough... cough..." Chen Shuya was choked and stepped back repeatedly.
Zhang Yeshi snorted softly. Her expression could not be seen clearly in the smoke. She asked, "Are you Cheng Xiang's girlfriend?"
In an instant, Chen Shuya understood why Zhang Yeshi was looking for her.
"No." Chen Shuya grabbed the shoulder strap of her schoolbag and shook her head gently.
Zhang Yesi held the cigarette between his fingertips, his eyes slightly narrowed, and looked closely at Chen Shuya. The next second, Zhang Yesi flicked the cigarette butt lightly onto Chen Shuya's body.
Chen Shuya hurriedly took a few steps back to shake off the cigarette butt, but her embarrassed look was very interesting in Zhang Yeshi's eyes.
The smile on Zhang Yeshi's face deepened. Chen Shuya's heart beat faster, her eyes felt sore, and she felt like crying.
Zhang Yeshi crossed her arms over her chest and kicked Chen Shuya on the knee. Chen Shuya groaned, her legs knelt on the ground.
Chen Shuya endured the pain and looked up. Zhang Yeshi was a pure little white flower with sparkling eyes when she smiled. At this moment, she was staring down at Chen Shuya, which made Chen Shuya feel scared.
Zhang Yeshi smiled, her eyebrows and eyes curved, and she said cheerfully: "Do your job well and stay away from Cheng Xiang."
After saying that, Zhang Yesi took the blond girl's arm, turned around and left the alley.
Chen Shuya heard the yellow-haired man say, "Why don't you hit her?"
The sun sets slowly in the sky, and small white wild flowers with spots of scarlet on their petals grow under the rotten walls in the alley.
In the strong wind, the branches of the willow trees were blown around randomly, as if they were groaning, roaring, and yelling at injustice.
Chen Shuya fell to the ground with her legs weak and unable to stand up. She touched her nose and felt a pool of liquid. She looked down and saw it was her nosebleed.
She has never been in good health.
Chen Shuya covered her nose with her left hand and frantically searched for tissues in her schoolbag with her right hand. Her pure white school uniform was already stained with scarlet spots.
"Chen Shuya."
Chen Shuya raised her head and glanced towards the alley entrance. What caught her eye was Cheng Xiang, who was running into the alley against the light of the sunset.
The moment she saw him coming, Chen Shuya felt aggrieved and wanted to cry.
Cheng Xiang squatted in front of her, frowned and looked her up and down: "Are you injured anywhere?"
Looking at the anxious young man in front of her, Chen Shuya could no longer hold back her tears.
This action made Cheng Xiang a little overwhelmed. It was the first time in his life that he felt at a loss in front of a girl. He hurriedly used his sleeve to wipe away her tears.
Chen Shuya choked up and said, "It's none of my business if they can't catch you. Why are they bothering me?"
Cheng Xiang wiped her tears and comforted her: "Then I'll go and explain it to them, okay?"
Chen Shuya covered her nose and sobbed. Cheng Xiang wiped her tears patiently. He caught a glimpse of her red knee from the corner of his eye and his heart sank.
When Chen Shuya had cried enough and her nosebleed had stopped, her eyes were red from crying. Cheng Xiang asked softly, "Do you want to stand up first?"
Chen Shuya nodded, and Cheng Xiang helped her up.
Chen Shuya tried to take two steps, but she felt a piercing pain in her knee. She gasped and had to use her other leg to support herself.
Cheng Xiang quickly supported her and whispered, "Let me carry you."
Chen Shuya didn't want to refuse because her knees hurt so much that she was crying.
