Jiang Yan wanted a drink of water, Ji Chu went to fetch it for her. When Ji Chu ca back from his exercise, he kept her company. Even when Jiang Yan went to the restroom, Ji Chu stood seriously waiting for her outside the n's restroom.
This made so girls feel embarrassed to go to the restroom in front of Bai Yuelight.
Not only did their classmates tease them relentlessly, but even their horoom teacher called Ji Chu to the office for two pots of tea.
This ti, it was Ji Chu's turn to wait.
Before long, Ji Chu ca out of the office, looking miserable and dejected.
Jiang Yan was eating a grilled sausage bought from the small supermarket, smiling at him carelessly.
Ji Chu was in a bad mood and looked pitifully angry: "You're still eating, you're still smiling! Who am I doing this for?!"
"I didn't ask you to follow ."
"I was just afraid soone would bully you again!" Ji Chu didn't complain to Jiang Yan, but muttered to himself, truly like a discouraged person.
"Here." Jiang Yan amusedly took out another grilled sausage that she had hidden behind her back.
Ji Chu looked at it for two seconds, reluctantly took it, and mumbled: "I knew you would think of ."
"Then why don't you eat it?" Jiang Yan asked curiously.
"The horoom teacher kept pouring two pots of Longjing tea," Ji Chu said slowly and emotionlessly. He was so full he was about to die. What kind of horoom teacher would keep refilling a student's tea and water!
"...Hahahahaha..." Jiang Yan laughed until her eyes were like crescents.
Then a male student's voice ca, exasperated: "I'll never drink tea again!"
The girls' laughter spilled out again.
...
But soon, Jiang Yan couldn't laugh anymore.
Ji Chu tidied up her desk himself, arranged her stationery, and brought fruit and drinks. After closing the study room door, he sat across from her and stared at her while she studied math.
This ti, it was because the college entrance exam was approaching, and Ji Chu wanted to attend the sa university as Jiang Yan.
Jiang Yan couldn't bear this torturous situation, and she weakly tried to negotiate with Ji Chu: "It's okay if we don't go to the sa university, right?"
Jiang Yan knew how to show weakness, but Ji Chu was even better at it.
The young man lowered his eyes, and his fluffy short hair looked gloomy. "Sis, you just don't want anymore, do you..."
"How could that be..." Jiang Yan's excuses disappeared under Ji Chu's gaze, so she could only pick up her pen with great resentnt.
Even during the noon break at school, Ji Chu had to switch seats with soone else so he could sit next to Jiang Yan and tutor her one-on-one.
Jiang Yan didn't want to study, but math wasn't sothing she could learn just by wanting to. Otherwise, she wouldn't have only scored in the thirties.
The sumr sun was dazzlingly bright, blocked out by the gray curtains. The classroom was dimly lit, and to avoid disturbing others' rest, Ji Chu lectured in an extrely soft voice.
After one round, there was a point Jiang Yan didn't understand, and Ji Chu helped her solve it; when he lectured the second round, she couldn't keep up again, so Ji Chu wrote down every step and formula...
The top student in their class, sitting in front of Jiang Yan, found Ji Chu's actions perplexing. Did he really not get bored of explaining it so many tis?
Before he could ask, Jiang Yan, who had listened to the third round, swiftly wrote out the process and said she understood.
Ji Chu imdiately snapped his fingers, happily praising her: "Little genius."
The top student couldn't help but laugh. There was no need to ask anymore; they were clearly enjoying it.
...
As the college entrance exam drew nearer, Gu Yuming's rate of growth was inversely proportional to the rapidly shrinking ti.
There was no sudden remorse or dramatic change of heart. What happened was that he passed by their class and saw the sticky note Jiang Yan had written on one wall—Chuancheng University.
Suddenly, Gu Yuming felt that if he continued down this path, the distance between him and Jiang Yan would beco truly insurmountable.
Gu Yuming's experience of hitting rock bottom and then finding his way back beca a legend at school, but in reality, this was his last gamble.
And he eventually got his wish, but failed to repay it.
On the day of the college entrance exam, Ji Chu was the first to walk out of the exam hall. At the school gate, he bought a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers and smiled as he waited for Jiang Yan to co out.
The young man was tall and lean with a clean figure. Although slender, the protruding veins on his wrists showed his strength. His romantic gesture of buying flowers and waiting attracted many eyes.
An auntie asked curiously, "Handso boy, who are you buying flowers for? Your girlfriend?"
Ji Chu smiled, "Not yet."
"Ah!" The auntie sighed, silently wondering what kind of girl could not be won over by such a good young man. She stood there, wanting to see what the girl looked like when she ca out.
Gu Yuming also ca out, muttering that he would never be able to do those crazy English questions in this lifeti. But he had written the other subjects quite well, so whether he could go to the sa school as Jiang Yan was up to fate now.
He stood silently behind a tree, wanting to catch a glimpse of Jiang Yan when she ca out.
But the flowers, the gazes, the anticipation—none of it could summon the girl.
