Chapter 59
New Year's Day is coming in a blink of an eye.
On New Year's Day, the school still gave me a day off for the senior high school, but there were so many homework on this day that many students were so sad that they said that it would be better not to take a holiday.
It was almost the New Year's Eve, and Xia Nan was still writing hard on her desk to make up her homework. As she was writing, she thought of what happened when the power outage that day, and her pen stopped unconsciously and her face slowly turned red.
Ye Chu said that it was the best birthday gift. Xia Nan thought that he hadn't celebrated his birthday much, and was soft-hearted for a while and did not care about his hooliganism anymore.
She treated it as a ridiculous dream, in which she and Ye Chu did something she would never do again in her life.
Xia Nan recalled that when Li Yue asked Li Yue to come up with an idea, Li Yue joked that she would pack her and give it to Ye Chu. At that time, Xia Nan thought Li Yue was talking nonsense, but she didn't expect that in the end... it was almost done.
A prophecy came true.
She shook her head, threw out all the mixed thoughts in her mind, and glanced at the phone beside her. It was not yet time for the New Year's Eve.
After she failed the exam, her parents restricted her mobile phone more and could hardly get it on weekends. This New Year's Day holiday, Xia Nan was afraid that Ye Chu would set off fireworks for her like she did last year. Her parents had seen her tightly recently, so she specifically told Ye Chu not to come downstairs to her house again.
Ye Chu also agreed, but he said that he wanted to accompany her to celebrate the New Year and asked her to get her cell phone. He did not have high requirements, so he just counted down with her.
Sometimes, Xia Nan felt that Ye Chu had a strong sense of ritual...
Xia Nan had no choice but to take out his cell phone in the name of searching for information and wait for the New Year's Eve phone number.
In the past, I always celebrated New Year's Eve with my classmates. Since Ye Chu appeared in her life, she seems to have celebrated New Year's Eve with Ye Chu. Last year, it was a coincidence. This year, Li Yue said she wanted to call Shen Zijia, but she agreed to Ye Chu again and still stayed with Ye Chu.
The fate between people is actually quite wonderful. At different stages of life, you will always meet different people. I don’t know who can accompany her for longer.
Maybe she was about to graduate, Xia Nan felt a little moved for a moment, and she looked down at the time, it was almost 12 o'clock.
At this moment, the phone rang.
The caller ID is a string of numbers. She was afraid that her mother would find out that they were dating too closely, so Xia Nan felt a little guilty and simply didn't give Ye Chu any notes. As soon as she saw the familiar last number, Xia Nan quickly picked it up.
No one spoke there.
Xia Nan was a little nervous and whispered: "Where are you?"
I won't be downstairs of her house...
Ye Chu's chuckling came from the other end of the phone: "I didn't go to your house. I'm at my own house."
At this moment, he was half leaning on the sofa, turning on the TV. I don’t know which New Year’s Eve party it was on the TV. A group of people dressed in festive clothes were preparing to count down. His wallet was placed on the coffee table in front of him, and there were photos of her in the wallet.
Xia Nan breathed a sigh of relief. She heard a noisy voice over Ye Chu: "Are you watching TV?"
"No, it just depends on when the countdown will be counted down."
"so……"
"Shhh, countdown begins."
The two of them started "5,4,3,2,1-"
"Happy New Year!"
After saying Happy New Year, I have to make a New Year wish. This is a routine tradition. Xia Nan made a wish seriously: "I will take the college entrance examination this year, which is the most critical year. I hope I can go to Z University."
She wanted to continue asking Ye Chu about his wish, and remembered what he said last year and made her like him a little more, but she was a little afraid to ask.
Ye Chu seemed to know what she was thinking and took the initiative to say, "My wish is that Nan Nan's wish can be realized."
Xia Nan was stunned for a moment: "You..."
"When your wish comes true, my wish comes true."
Ye Chu looked down at the coffee table, her quiet sleeping face in her wallet, with gentle eyes. Xia Nan might not have noticed that she was gradually accepting him.
On the day she kissed during the power outage, she didn't resist too much, she didn't cry, nor was she angry. She would think of him, and no longer always subconsciously reject him.
Companionship is the best confession. He is restraining his temper for her, and she is also changing because of him. Both of them are influencing each other.
Ye Chu will no longer put pressure on her. He will accompany her to walk the last part of high school as a key player.
His voice was slightly dull: "Do you know why I have to count down with you?"
"Why?"
"I heard that whoever I am with during the New Year's Eve will be with this person this year. Last year was me, this year was me, and many years to come, I will be by your side and accompany you."
I will be my many years to come.
Xia Nan didn't know what, but her eyes felt sore.
Just now she was thinking that everyone is a passerby in other people's lives, accompanying the other party for a while, teaching some things, and then they will separate and continue to walk their own path.
But Ye Chu said that he would not leave, and he would accompany her for many years.
His wish is so simple, but she is just good.
After a long time, Xia Nan's voice with a nasal sound came from the other end of the microphone—
"kindness."
After returning from New Year's Day, the students nervously began to review and prepare to meet the final exam for the first semester of senior high school.
Xia Nan's final exam results this time are quite important. After all, she did too much last month. The teachers and parents were waiting to see if she could come to the final exam. She even got up early and went to study late. Ye Chu would bring her a bottle of hot milk every morning to help her replenish her body.
The whole class was in an emergency preparedness state, only Li Yue. Although she seemed to work hard, she still stopped learning and couldn't help but wander around and miss Shen Zijia.
Xia Nan was a little anxious for her, but she couldn't control such things, and Xia Nan couldn't say anything.
Until Thursday's evening self-study, Li Yue came back with red eyes.
At that time, the evening self-study had been in 5 minutes. The teacher did not come, but just asked the class representative to assign homework. Li Yue came in from the front door and lowered her head. The class representative said to her that you were late, but she ignored it.
Back at the seat, she sat there motionlessly and did not search for homework. Xia Nan noticed something was wrong and poked her gently with her fingertips: "Li Yue?"
Li Yue paused, then turned her head. Xia Nan was startled when she saw her clearly-
Her eyes were red, tears were everywhere in her eyes, and she looked embarrassed and helpless.
Xia Nan was a little worried: "Are you okay?"
Just as Li Yue was about to speak, a tear fell down and smashed Xia Nan's paper. Seeing that her mood was really wrong, Xia Nan asked her in a low voice: "Or why don't we go to the bathroom?"
Li Yue nodded, Xia Nan stood up and helped Li Yue out. Ye Chu got up and gave in. He glanced at Li Yue with his black eyes and said nothing.
He has never understood why girls like to go to the bathroom to chat...
The way girls get along is still different from that between boys.
Xia Nan helped Li Yue to the front and asked for leave with the class representative, saying that Li Yue was feeling uncomfortable. She accompanied Li Yue to the toilet, and the class representative nodded in agreement.
It was the time for evening self-study class. The women's bathroom was empty. The white light shone on the large mirror in front of the sink, reflecting Li Yue's sad face in the mirror.
As soon as she entered the toilet, Li Yue collapsed. She slowly slid down the wall, half-sitting on the ground, covering her face with her hands: "Anan, I failed..."
Xia Nan took out a tissue to wipe her tears, but she didn't dare to ask too much. She thought that Li Yue might have confessed, but was rejected by Chen Zijia.
Li Yue's crying voice echoed in the women's bathroom. She sobbed in a low voice: "I have not confessed yet, it's all over..."
Xia Nan was slightly stunned. From Li Yue's intermittent narrative, Xia Nan knew the whole story.
Chen Zijia is in Class 9, and Li Yue often gave him gifts and snacks before, and he was already familiar with his seat position.
Before evening self-study, Li Yue returned to the teaching building after dinner early. Class 9 was going to have dinner. There was no one there yet. She carefully walked to Chen Zijia's seat with her freshly bought snacks and stuffed snacks into his schoolbag.
Halfway through, her arm was grabbed by a man from behind.
Before she took it seriously, she casually said, "Who, I'll finish it later."
"Stop stuffing."
Hearing the familiar and clear voice, Li Yue stopped moving. She looked back hesitantly and happened to meet Chen Zijia's gaze.
Chen Zijia had no expression. He was originally a restrained person and didn't talk much. Li Yue couldn't see his emotions from his face. He was a little nervous: "I just felt that the end of the period was coming, and the pressure of studying may be relatively high. I want to buy you some snacks..."
Chen Zijia bowed his head silently, bent down, took out a large black bag from under his seat, and opened the bag, revealing what was inside.
There are exquisitely packaged gifts, various snacks, and even some pens, books and other stationery... all given by Li Yue.
Li Yue saw the birthday gifts, Christmas gifts, New Year's Day gifts and so on that she had carefully prepared for him in the bag... No wonder he never responded to her gifts because he didn't even take them apart.
"You gave these?"
Li Yue's face was pale: "Yeah."
Chen Zijia re-tied the black bag and handed it to her: "If it was something I did that made you misunderstand, I apologize. I have no other intentions to you. The college entrance examination is about to be taken, so study hard."
In this way, her confession ended before it even started.
Li Yue didn't know how she came back. She held a big black bag and went back to Class 11 from Class 9 to Class 11. She cried so stupidly. The passing classmates looked at her with strange eyes. She didn't care about other people's eyes and walked back while crying.
There was a big red trash can at the corner of the stairs. She threw the big black bag in, closed the trash can while crying, as if she could throw her own secret crush that had ended in vain.
Later, she cried alone in the stairs for a long time, and gradually calmed down before returning to class. But when she saw Xia Nan's concerned face, she couldn't help but want to cry.
In the quiet women's bathroom, only Li Yue's suppressed crying sound was heard. She was afraid of attracting the teacher, so she cried very quietly. Xia Nan was beside her, holding her hand silently.
Li Yue has always been an optimistic school, and he will be sad for a while when it is a big deal. This is the first time Xia Nan saw her crying so sadly. She didn't know how to comfort Li Yue, so she could only hand her tissues next to her.
"Actually I should have discovered it long ago... He just treated me as an ordinary classmate and said hello to each other. There were no so many encounters and coincidences. I was all alone trying to create opportunities to see him more. He was not lukewarm with me, and I thought he was the character..."
"Wuwuwuwu, why am I so self-indulgent? I always fantasize that he cares about me but pretends not to care. It's so disgusting, so disgusting... This love is entirely my own thing. I only moved myself. He has never participated from beginning to end. I'm so stupid... "
"Anan, I never like someone again. It's so hard..."
"Anan, there are so many men in this world. I am not necessarily him, right? He doesn't like me, so I don't like him either. I deserve better. He is not worthy! He is not worthy!!"
Li Yue cried more and more excitedly, and Xia Nan comforted her: "Yes, you will meet better, and there will be better..."
Li Yue finally got tired of crying, her eyes were dry and her tears couldn't even flow out. She leaned tiredly against the wall: "I will forget him, I don't like him anymore, I don't like him at all."
"It's true... I don't like it at all."
