Chapter 42
The second day after returning from H City competition was Monday.
There is a flag-raising ceremony for morning self-study on Monday morning. All students have to go out to watch the flag-raising and listen to the speeches of student representatives from each class.
The special music for raising flags was played on the radio, and everyone brought some small vocabulary notebooks to go downstairs. Li Yue turned his head and looked at Xia Nan, looking surprised: "Why are your dark circles so heavy today? Could it be that he went out with Ye Chu and he sucked your essence? No, usually men are sucked away by the essence..."
Xia Nan quickly "shushed" and stopped Li Yue from continuing to make up for it with her eyes. No one in the class knew about Ye Chu playing with her. If others knew about it, it might reach the head teacher's ears. It would be better to be careful.
Li Yue stuck out her tongue, took the Chinese poetry book, and went downstairs with Xia Nan, while asking her: "But to be honest, you look so tired today."
Xia Nan rubbed her eyes: "Well... I slept a little late last night."
It was almost early in the morning after arriving at home last night. She had to do some homework and went to bed at 2 a.m. She had a serious lack of sleep and her complexion must be very poor.
Ye Chu didn't come to study in the morning. Maybe he was taking a break. He didn't sleep much on the train the day before yesterday, so he probably would have slept for a while.
When they arrived at the playground downstairs, each class stood according to the class, with boys and girls in rows, Xia Nan stood in front of Li Yue. Li Yue could not recite the ancient poems anymore, so he pulled Xia Nan and whispered: "Anan, look over there, the students over there are all from the third year of high school."
Li Yue stood on tiptoe and tried to see clearly: "They are going to take the college entrance examination in just a few months left. I don't know what they are in, and will they be very nervous."
Xia Nan also looked over there and glanced at it. She felt that the overall atmosphere of senior high school students was very dull. Most of them were studying with their heads down. Compared with them, the second year and first year of high school were much more active.
She responded in a low voice: "Maybe."
The student representative who spoke on the flag-raising platform was also a senior high school student. They were far away and could not see clearly. They could only vaguely see that the senior high school boy was tall, very white, and his voice was very clear.
He was reading the speech with emotion on the stage: "Dear teachers and dear classmates: Good morning everyone, today the topic of my speech is "Good Habits Benefit for Lifetime". Bacon once said: "Habits are the master of life, and people should strive to pursue good habits." As senior high school students, we need to maintain good study habits in the following days..."
Li Yue listened to the magnetic voice and sighed: "When they graduate, they won't be able to hear such a nice sound. It feels a bit of a pity."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Yue seemed to remember something and became excited: "Actually it's okay. Next semester, there will be many new juniors and little puppies in the first year of high school. It's exciting to think about it. The juniors must be easy to flirt with hahaha."
Xia Nan pursed her lips and said nothing. She knew that Li Yue said this. In fact, she is a person who is more cowardly than anyone else in action. She will be shy when she sees a good-looking junior.
On the stage, the speech under the national flag is coming to an end: "Start from today, develop good study habits, prepare for the college entrance examination, and strive to create a brilliant future for yourself and your alma mater."
Xia Nan was ready to applaud, but when he heard the speech, he suddenly changed his tone: "Some words are only once, and I don't want to leave regrets for my youth. Finally, through this speech, I want to talk to Chen Xixi, a classmate of Class 30, of Grade 30—"
"I hope you will be successful in the college entrance examination and everything will be successful! I am waiting for you at N University, and I hope to continue the future together."
The boy's final words stirred up a thousand waves, and the students of all grades in the playground were suddenly in an uproar: "Damn! What did I hear? This is a confession under the national flag! Let the school witness their love."
"I'm waiting for you at N University. The love between academic masters is so awesome and I can't stand it anymore."
"Suddenly I envy them in their senior year..."
...
Xia Nan forgot to applaud at that moment, and the sleepiness that had just passed away just now disappeared completely. She heard Li Yue expressing her sincere feelings behind her: "Oh my God! What kind of fairy idol drama is this? I actually saw the live version in real life."
There were cheers and screams everywhere, and the playground was in chaos. Xia Nan looked up at the stage. The boy who was speaking had already quickly got off the stage before the teacher came on stage to drive him.
The director hurried onto the stage with a microphone, stood on the stage and tried hard to maintain order, shouting loudly: "Quiet! Give me peace of mind! Which class will noisy to quarrel with the exercise evaluation score!"
This sentence is very effective. The playground quickly calmed down. The director coughed twice and forced the explanation of what happened just now: "What a touching friendship. Let's make an appointment to go to N University together. Everyone should have this idea. The admission rate of our No. 1 Middle School can be improved by a higher level!"
"Puff," Li Yue laughed from behind: "The director of the teaching is afraid that he wouldn't want to laugh to death. Chen Xixi looked like a girl's name. Where did boys and girls come from pure friendship? This is a failure to save respect."
The students also knew that the director was working hard to get back, and he was very proud of his face and did not make any more noise. However, this speech under the national flag will definitely become a famous "confession speech" in the history of No. 1 Middle School, and Chen Xixi will also stay in history at No. 1 Middle School.
On the way back to the class, I could still hear students from each class discussing this matter. Li Yue was also chatting with Xia Nan with unsatisfactory feelings: "Anan, I feel inspired by what I just said. I want to ask you, are there any regrets in high school so far?"
Xia Nan thought for a while and shook her head: "No."
Li Yue sighed, "It's amazing." She sighed, "I have it, I want to feel the feeling of being moved, just like what it feels like to like someone. I have never experienced it myself when I read novels, animes and other people's love every day. It's so failed, why can't anyone make me like it?"
Xia Nan said seriously: "Don't you like Bai Mu very much? You are still watching his performance on the New Year's Eve."
"That's different. I'm Bai Mu's mother fan, sister fan, and occasionally girlfriend fan... Hahaha, there's a difference between my favorites of idol stars and my love for them. I can't confuse them. Alas, An Nan, you're so stupid. You can't even tell me this. No wonder Ye Chu is so flirting with you. You're not moved."
Speaking of Ye Chu, Li Yue had sympathy in his eyes: "I thought it was good for Ye Chu to like you before, but now I think it would be great if he likes other girls."
Li Yue continued: "With his condition, I guess what kind of girl I want to catch up with. If I were him, I would fall in love every day. If I had enough, I would change my girlfriend. Try it out of all kinds and try it out to gather all the girlfriends of the twelve zodiac signs in high school. But he just likes you, a tidy head. I really think he was delayed by you. It would be a waste of high school to not have a passionate love affair in high school."
Xia Nan just listened quietly to Li Yue and said nothing.
Li Yue said... Ye Chu was delayed by her.
It seems that this is true. Even though Xia Nan is slow, he still realizes that Ye Chu has a very good relationship with girls. If it weren't for her, he might not have known how many times he had been in love.
She remembered New Year's Eve again, and he said, "If you like me a little more every day, I will be content."
Humbled to the dust.
For some reason, Xia Nan suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Ye Chu was so good, she shouldn't have been delayed by her...
Ye Chu came just during the break, and it was the end of get out of class when he came. There were many people in the school’s grocery store. He went to buy a bottle of water. The comments he heard on the way were all "romantic speeches at the flag-raising ceremony" and "girl hearts were flooded"...
When he went back to the class and asked about this, Xu Yan curled his lips and told him: "It's a senior in the third year of high school. When he spoke, he said, "Class Chen Xixi, I'm waiting for you at N University or something, and then the whole school exploded."
Xu Yan expressed his disdain for this approach: "Don't you think it's very second-class? Only those little girls like this approach. I guess the senior will wait for him when he returns for 5,000 words of review. Why bother? It's still useless to clean up these things in the third year of high school."
Ye Chu did not comment much. He keenly captured these five words from Xu Yan's words, "Little Girl Likes".
Xia Nan is a little girl, right? Well, there is no doubt that it must be.
So, when get out of class was over, Ye Chu turned his pen while speaking casually: "Nan Nan, do you think the morning flag-raising ceremony is so romantic?"
Xia Nan was stunned for a moment. Ye Chu was not present at the time and heard about this. It seems that this incident is really widely circulated.
Then, she nodded: "Yeah, that's OK."
Ye Chu curled his lips: "What do you want? Ban Ren may not let me raise the flag and speak. How about I sneak in to the radio station to confess to you at noon?"
Xia Nan blinked his eyes slowly, and then realized it and his face turned red with anxiety: "Ye Chu, you don't want it, I don't like that!"
Some people like to be the focus of others, but she is not. She doesn’t like “fame and history”. Feelings are very personal, so why do we need to let everyone know...
When she was in junior high school, someone was shouting and confessing downstairs. She was so embarrassed that she hadn't left the classroom door for a week. In fact, she felt very embarrassing.
Seeing her reaction, Ye Chu couldn't help but bend the corners of his mouth. His Nan Nan was still so easy to be shy.
He begged her and lowered his voice: "It turns out that Nan Nan doesn't like this. Then it seems that Nan Nan still likes the dark classroom and the uninhabited stairs. Where do you want to try next time, huh?"
His tone was ambiguous and dumb, and Xia Nan's face suddenly turned red completely. The memories of those two times were actually very deep. He kissed her hand in the classroom, and he touched her face at the stairs that time...
She deliberately didn't think about it, and sometimes she couldn't help but dream. The touch of his fingertips in the dream was particularly clear.
Xia Nan turned his face and decided to ignore Ye Chu. Originally, because he accompanied him to the provincial capital, he thought he could be very gentle and considerate, but now Xia Nan knew that she was completely wrong.
