Chapter 27 Twenty-six, half is flame, half is sea water

Zhenhua's teaching building is at the second intersection ahead, visible from afar.Chen Jianxia stopped and wiped his face.In fact, the wind has already dried up the tears, and the slightest facial expression will hurt my face. "You don't need to see me off, I'm here." Chen Jianxia raised his head and said softly. Li Ran turned his head and was not polite: "I don't want the people in the mail room to see me? Then go back by yourself." She didn't look him in the eyes, and quickly walked around him and left. The grievance and impulse just now are like this tear trail, blow it on, let it dry, it will be even more uncomfortable when it dries up on your face, it is better not to cry just now.

It is better not to mention it, it is better not to test it. Even if he likes her too, so what?Are you really going to fall in love?Parents and teachers will beat her to death. Chen Jianxia paused for a moment, wanting to see his expression, but in the end he managed not to look back. Instead, he started running in small steps, and ran upstairs to the English cloze in front of the desk. Later she fell asleep lying on the table.When I woke up in the middle of the night, the electronic clock on the desk showed that it was already 1:20 in the middle of the night.The heating in the small room is too hot, making it easy to get sleepy.She yawned, rubbed her eyes, turned her head and fell to the bed, got into the bed and took off her clothes, flung them one by one on the back of the chair, then curled up into a ball and hid her head in the bed.

Will Li Ran recall the inexplicable chase that night?Will he suddenly understand her intentions? How embarrassing that would be. Chen Jianxia closed his eyes.Go to sleep, when you wake up, you will still be the boring and clean Chen Jianxia. When I woke up the next day, I saw a text message from Li Ran lying on the phone, just one question: what happened to you. Chen Jianxia evaded very cleverly this time. She deleted and typed, typed and deleted, and finally spelled out a relaxed and generous answer: "I'm sorry yesterday. Everyone is very curious about the big beauty. I also want to know more. Who told me to I know you near the water tower! Later, I realized that I didn’t consider your feelings, so I was very ashamed, so I cried. You kept it secret for me, I’m sorry.”

Pressing the "send" button, Chen Jianxia had a strange feeling. She seems to have grown up a bit, able to write the whole lie smoothly, mature and decent, and knows how to expose her embarrassment to pretend to be sincere-it seems that the confrontation with Yu Sisi and the others in the past few months has been effective, and the lessons have not been learned. In vain. However, deep down in his heart, he felt faintly uncomfortable, as if he had lost something for no apparent reason.Chen Jianxia's first tactful diplomatic rhetoric was given to Li Ran, and to the only person she didn't need to lie to in this strange city.

As expected, Li Ran did not reply. November and December are tough.The students are like ducks waiting to be slaughtered, they are kept upside down in the pot, and there is no light.There were no holidays for two full months, the days were as short as a gift, and the bitter cold wind trapped people indoors, steaming in the heating with an indescribable smell.The only thing that can be called "entertainment" is only two things - the inter-class exercises were changed to running, and the "December 9th" chorus competition. Class 1 and Class 2, as the two top classes that attract the attention of the entire grade, have been secretly competing.Because the average score of the test and the mid-term test of the second class is slightly lower than that of the first class, it is particularly active in the chorus competition.Every self-study class, the students in the first class can always hear all kinds of musical instruments in the second class next door in tune, which is very lively.

I'm afraid only Class 1 and Class 2 care about who goes up and who gets down in the average score; the chorus competition is an opportunity to show off their demeanor in front of the whole grade.At the class meeting, Yu Sisi was full of enthusiasm and alarmism, and actually found out a band - complete with keyboard player, bass player and drum kit!The second class immediately became upset, and there were several rounds of swearing at Sang and Huai in the corridor. On the second day of the class meeting, those students who could play musical instruments brought all their belongings.In the self-study class, Chen Jianxia lay on the table and watched them carefully open the musical instrument box and connect the power supply. The wires were entangled, and the podium area was wound into a coiled wire hole.

"Do you know any musical instruments?" She asked Yu Zhouzhou in confusion. "Learned the cello." Chen Jianxia's eyes lit up: "Then why don't you bring it?" Yu Zhouzhou looked up at the chaos in front of the blackboard: "Not all instruments can be matched together." Jian Xia smiled enviously: "I don't understand. I can't even sing with five notes. I haven't learned anything." But my brother has learned.My younger brother has studied violin for half a year, sketched for two months, and practiced calligraphy with a sandbag hanging on his wrist for a week. Chen Jianxia has never learned anything.My mother said that my younger brother is a boy, active and unable to sit still, and learning these things can suppress his temper.

Why use these good things to suppress his temper?Wouldn't it be good to beat him up? The 17-year-old Chen Jianxia silently thought of his anxious self when he was a child.In fact, she also knew that when it was her turn, she might just give up halfway after studying for a week, but at least she had tried.What do people fight for in life, don't they just fight for a chance? Yu Zhouzhou fell asleep lying on the table, with her elbow resting on the pencil case, almost pushing it down, seeing Xia hurriedly moved her position. She was very grateful, and Yu Zhouzhou never asked about the result of her meeting with Li Ran, as if the conversation between the two girls on the windowsill never happened.Jian Xia felt that she had learned a little more. It turns out that not everyone has to be friends; keeping a little distance can give you a little more room for embarrassment alone.

During the noisy rehearsal class, Ling Xiangqian came to Chu Tiankuo again.The whole class was quiet for a short time again, and after the two left, the uproar became even worse. Lu Linlin turned her head and said to Jian Xia: "Hey, have you noticed that she is the one who comes to our monitor every time, and our monitor has never looked for her." Chen Jianxia had long heard that this saying originated from Si Si.It always starts with "Hey, have you noticed?" The listener nods his head as soon as he thinks about it.So when everyone saw Ling Xiangqian again, they all gloated a little. Chu Tiankuo's upright and generous appearance was talked about by a group of girls, and every estrangement was taken as evidence of Ling Xiangqian's self-love.

Chen Jianxia was very upset for Ling Xiangqian.How could they know that Chu Tiankuo actually regarded Ling Xiangqian as a special friend.Thinking of this, Jian Xia suddenly became proud of herself—she could still think of Ling Xiangqian, while Yu Sisi, who was also full of jealousy, would only slander others.She is really nice. Amidst the accompaniment of bass and drums, Chen Jianxia opened the "Dian Zhongdian" energetically and began to do the questions.Because of Ling Xiangqian, another name was shouting in the back of my mind.She pretended not to hear. The "December Nine" chorus, the first class was drawn to the number one, and the second class was drawn to the second number all sang smoothly.It's strange to say that class one is so dull that they use bass and drums for accompaniment; class two is so lively, but they play all classical instruments; When it came to the next self-selected track, the second class suddenly "released itself".They collectively took off their red army jackets and put on bright yellow short-sleeved T-shirts inside. They raised their hands and beat the time, and began to sing the songs of the Little Tigers.

Ling Xiangqian's hair was curled and combed high, her wavy ponytail was well arranged, and she swayed with her movements, like a beautiful and majestic...horse?Phoenix?Chen Jianxia thought hard on his cheeks, but he still couldn't complete this mental activity.Ling Xiangqian's T-shirt has a red heart printed on the front, which is different from others. She walked out from the center of the first row while singing, and stood at the front facing the audience in the entire auditorium, calling for everyone to take pictures together. The atmosphere was heated up in an instant; the others also changed their formations, and all jumped up in harmony with the rhythm. If you lose, you don't need to show results to know that you must lose.No matter how collective the sense of honor is, everyone still has a steelyard in their hearts.The first class of students who had just returned to the auditorium were poured cold water by the second class who came on stage before they could get out of the joy of the smooth performance. Chen Jianxia knew that she would never stand in the center of the stage with a bright smile like Ling Xiangqian in this life. She deserves to be liked, Chen Jianxia thought bitterly. Chu Tiankuo was sitting on her right. Unlike the others, he still had a smile on his lips, neither annoyed by the defeat of the first class, nor happy or overwhelmed by Ling Xiangqian, as if he didn't know anyone and just came to enjoy the performance That's all. "I know many people like her." For example, Li Ran. Chen Jianxia's thoughtless words attracted Chu Tiankuo's attention, he smiled inexplicably and said, "It should." "And you?" This straightforward question made Chu Tiankuo choke, he smiled wryly and shook his head: "Didn't I tell you last time, we are..." "You really don't like her at all?" Chu Tiankuo restrained his smile, looked at Jian Xia seriously, and asked softly, "What's wrong with you?" Jian Xia himself didn't know the meaning of saying this.Even if Chu Tiankuo has the capital to take away Ling Xiangqian from the stage, he can't take away Ling Xiangqian in Li Ran's heart; even if Li Ran's heart is emptied, so what?Will Chen Jianxia be able to have a vigorous relationship under the pressure of being broken by his parents? She understands all these principles. Very understanding. But when she understood these truths, she never thought that liking someone would be so capricious and uncontrollable.She is just jealous, just unable to extricate herself, and just sour.Reason cannot save her. When Class No. 3 entered the stage with applause and applause for Class No. 2, Chen Jianxia quietly opened the vocabulary book on his lap, and buried himself in the memorization until Class No. 3 finished singing. The unlucky guy knocked down the stool, and the ding ding bang made the audience burst into laughter, and Chen Jianxia raised his head in bewilderment. The unlucky guy who was helped up by his classmates was actually Li Ran.Annoyed, he kicked the stool that caused him to fall, and nonchalantly made a handsome gesture to the judges and teachers sitting in the first row, and was dragged down the stage by several boys and girls. "Which class is this?" Chen Jianxia asked. "It seems to be Class 16." Yu Zhouzhou, who was sitting on the left, was also working on the problem without raising his head. Seeing Xia was disappointed.Li Ran took her to dinner several times, invited her to play, and made her happy, but she didn't even know which class Li Ran was from.Subconsciously, he doesn't seem to belong to Zhenhua, he is independent of this prison, and he is only connected with himself as a prisoner. What a wishful thinking.Li Ran is not only a student of Zhenhua Branch School, but also a celebrity in the High School Attached to Normal University. He is Ling Xiangqian's servant, and he seems to be very popular in the class.Chen Jianxia's gaze followed Class 16, watching them walk back to the last few rows of the auditorium and sit down, laughing and laughing, one of the girls patted Li Ran on the back, and Li Ran flicked her forehead back, another burst Laughing and laughing until the head teacher appeared and stopped them. Chen Jianxia felt it was particularly glaring. It's also very good.Bite your lips with her, stop here, don't continue to make mistakes, wake up early, it's good, it's good. She gritted her teeth and stared at the notebook on her lap. After a while, Yu Zhouzhou put a pack of Qingfeng tissues on her notebook.
