Yuruo and Zeyang walked together for 20 minutes without saying a word.
After walking past this intersection, Yuruo was almost home when Zeyang suddenly said unnaturally,""Yuruo, actually…I have something to tell you."
"What's the matter?" Yuruo asked in surprise.”
Zeyang's expression seemed to stiffen as he slowly said,""Actually, I really…I really like you." As soon as he said that, Yu Ruo was stunned. She felt her breathing become heavy. She didn't say anything, but her mind went blank.
"Yuruo, I really like you after spending time with you. Can we be together?”Zeyang's expression was a little excited, but he still said solemnly.
"Yes... Can I think about it? You're too sudden. I'm now "
Before Yuruo could finish, Zeyang reached out his left hand and grabbed Yuruo's right hand,""We're crossing the road. You have to watch the road. I'll pull you across. There are many cars at this intersection.”Just like that, Yuruo held hands with a guy for the first time without any precautions or expectations. Although it had only been a few seconds since they crossed the road, Yuruo was happy. Zeyang's hand was very small, and it was considered relatively small among boys, but the warmth and caring feeling didn't diminish. She felt that the sense of security she had lost since she was young seemed to have instantly filled up her heart.
Yuruo didn't say anything, as if she couldn't resist Zeyang's warm pursuit.
When Yuruo reached the door, Zeyang said,"Yuruo, what I said to you today is from my heart. I can now think that we are dating because you didn't reject me. Hurry up and go home. I will leave after seeing you go in.”Suddenly, Yu Ruo's face revealed a shy expression.
"Be careful on your way home. See you tomorrow.”After saying that, Yu Ruo turned around and went home.
When she returned home, Yuruo felt conflicted. To be honest, not only did Zeyang's act of holding her hand not make her feel disgusted, but it also made her heart beat wildly. This feeling was a warmth that she had never felt before. Yu Ruo thought about Lu Ming, who she had a good impression of before. There was an insurmountable distance between them, and Lu Ming still maintained his good grades as the first in class. He was a good student, and Yu Ruo knew that her current grades could not be on the same track as Lu Ming. He would always be high and mighty, and she could only look at him. Compared to Zeyang, she felt that he really existed by her side. They were both walking on the same path together. In the rainy season, she accepted and met her first pure love.
In their youth, they all had the purest thoughts. They just followed their feelings and walked forward. No one knew what would happen in their lives in the future.
The next morning, when Yu Ruo arrived at school and sat down, Yi Man said excitedly,"Hey, Yuruo, are you in love?”
"You, where did you get such good news?”Yu Ruo asked in surprise.
"Yangyang told me the news when she came to work this morning. She said that she had successfully wooed you. See, I didn't lie to you, did I? Yangyang has always had a crush on you, but you're really something. You took the initiative to attack me so quickly after I goaded you last night. Haha, we can still be happy together in the future.”Yi Man said proudly with a smile.
"Actually, I'm still quite embarrassed. I keep feeling strange. I suddenly fell in love so muddle-headedly.”Yu Ruo pouted.
"Stop thinking about it. Enjoy your sweet relationship. By the way, let's go ice-skating in the park this Sunday? I want to go." Yi Man said.
"Skating? I don't know how to ice skating. I've never skated before.”Yu Ruo said.
"What's there to be afraid of? The three of us know how to do it. We'll teach you. It's settled.”Yi Man ran to Yi Min's seat and suggested the plan.
Early in the morning on the weekend, the four of them went ice-skating in the park together. There was no one in the ice-skating rink, so it was especially quiet. Yi Man rented skates and handed them to Yuruo.
"Hurry up and put it on. I'll teach you how to ice-skate later.”Yi Man said to Yu Ruo.
"Sigh, I really don't know how to. It's probably very difficult for me to stand up with this thing on. Why don't I watch you guys ice skating?”Yu Ruo said timidly.
"It's okay. The three of us know a little. We'll just pull you later. We guarantee that you won't fall.”Zeyang sat down and helped Yuruo tie up her skates. Yuruo didn't refuse, but she was still terrified.
"Yi Man, don't run so fast.”Yuruo shouted as she put on her skates.
"I'll pull you. Come, this way, you won't be afraid of falling. Slowly move your feet forward.”After saying that, Zeyang reached out his warm hand to hold Yuruo's trembling hand.
Just like that, under Zeyang's patient guidance, Yu Ruo's courage gradually grew. She was no longer so afraid and tried her best to move her feet. They smiled knowingly and held hands tightly. Zeyang's hands were still so warm. When Yu Ruo and Zeyang were together, they always felt so intimate.
Back at school, they spent every day together. That period of time was the happiest and most unforgettable time for Yuruo.
One day in April, Yuruo didn't come to class because she had a fever again. Zeyang was very worried. He sent a message to Yuruo," How are you? I want to see you this afternoon. Is that okay?”
Yuruo agreed, because her grandparents would go out to play mahjong in the afternoon, and she would be alone at home.
"Still burning up? Hurry up and lie down to rest." Zeyang said to the haggard Yuruo after rushing to her house.
"I'm fine. I took my temperature at noon and it's normal. I'm watching TV now.”Yu Ruo replied.
Zeyang reached out and touched Yuruo's forehead.""My forehead really isn't burning anymore." Then, he hugged Yuruo and said,"Hurry up and get well. My heart aches to see you suffer.”Yuruo leaned on Zeyang's shoulder like a child. Although the fever had weakened her body, Zeyang's words and warm embrace made her feel like all her pain was gone.
"I also want to get well quickly. I can see you when I get back to school. I don't want to be cooped up at home.”Yuruo raised her head and looked at Zeyang affectionately.
Zeyang didn't say anything. He also looked at Yuruo affectionately. Their eyes met for more than ten seconds before Zeyang slowly lowered his head and gently kissed Yuruo's cheek. Yuruo's face instantly turned red. Her eyes widened as she stared at Zeyang in front of her. It was as if there was an unknown force suppressing her from resisting.
Zeyang looked at Yuruo, who was in front of him, and kissed her on the lips with lightning speed. Yuruo pushed Zeyang away in panic as if she had been electrocuted. Her face had already turned red.
"Zeyang, I'm thirsty. I'll get a glass of water.”Yuruo panicked and ran to the coffee table to find some water to drink. She was at a loss as if she had been electrocuted.
"Yuruo, is this your first kiss?”Zeyang asked softly.
"Yes, aren't you?" Yu Ruo asked.
"Yes, I am. It's because I like you. I really like you, so I want to kiss you.”Zeyang said firmly.
The 17-year-old flower season was gentle and dazzling. Yuruo gave her first kiss without any expectations, but at that time, she felt that the feeling was very strange, as if the whole world had melted. His eyes were filled with Zeyang's fair face.
Their relationship had been built from friendship. They were happy and carefree every day, but reality always liked to joke with people. Just when they were not on guard, a pain that they would never forget happened.
The wonderful season of April slowly slipped away and ushered in the suffocating month of May. There was only one and a half months left, and it was time for them to participate. At this critical period, not only was the atmosphere in class heavy, but even at home, Yuruo was suffering.
"Daughter, Father, I have something to discuss with you. We won't participate in this trap. Father wants you to go to a technical school. This way, after you graduate, Father can arrange for you to work in a large state-owned enterprise.”Dad said solemnly to Yuruo.
"Dad, I want to go to high school. I want to go to college. I don't want to go to a technical school.”Yuruo said firmly.
"Why are you so disobedient? You won't listen to the path that Daddy has paved for you. You'll regret it in the future.”His father said loudly.
"Dad, since you have so much power and ability, then you should give this good position to my brother in the future.”Yu Ruo retorted angrily.
"Your brother must go to university in the future! A good university! As for your father, he just wants you to have a job in the future. After all, you're a girl.”Dad said anxiously as he slammed the table.
Yuruo didn't say anything else. She started crying. It was the kind of silent tears that could be seen falling down without making a sound. At that moment, her heart ached. Facing her father's preference for sons and his cold attitude, Yuruo wiped the tears off her face and ran back to her room.
"You shouldn't say that. It's the same for boys and girls. Whoever has the ability to go to university will go.”He could only listen to his grandmother lecturing his father. His father didn't say anything else. He only said,"Study hard at home and work hard on your exams after class.”
Yuruo stayed in her room for a long time and thought about a lot. She told herself that from now on, she couldn't play around anymore. She had to study hard and get results that would satisfy her father so that he would know that she was a hundred times better than her brother.
The next day, Yuruo sat down to read as soon as she arrived at school. This time, no matter how Yi Man and the others joked, she ignored them. She only said that she had to study hard.
After class, Yuruo turned her head and saw that Zeyang was still sleeping on his desk. He must have been online the whole night. Yuruo walked up to Zeyang angrily and patted his back."You can't be like this anymore. It's time for the exam. Don't go online in the future and work hard for the next one and a half months. Don't sleep in class. Even if you don't listen to class, you can memorize the contents of politics, history, and geography.”
"Aren't you annoying? I haven't slept all night. My eyes are blurry. Why are you reading? I'll sleep for a while more. You can go and read.”After saying that, Zeyang continued to sleep on the table.
"Xu Zeyang, can't you be more motivated? I can only advise you this way. I won't care if you learn or not.”Yuruo's angry words didn't wake Zeyang up.
Yu Ruo returned to her seat and shook her head,"Start working hard now. Don't think too much about anything. I'll definitely make Dad change his mind.”After saying that, he started reading again.
Yuruo really persevered. In this one month, she kept her playful and lazy heart and revised her homework like crazy, while Zeyang continued to go on his own way, surfing the internet and sleeping. All these changes seemed to have happened overnight. Zeyang was immersed in her own internet like a madman and had no intention of preparing for the exams.
Finally, it was June 24th. Everyone had to go to school to get their admission ticket. The seats in the class were already messy. Everyone sat casually and could leave after getting their admission ticket. Yuruo sat in the second last row. Behind her were a few boys who were very troublesome in the class. They were whispering non-stop. Suddenly, a boy used his hand to pinch Yuruo's bra strap. He pinched it a few times, and Yuruo suddenly let out an "ah" as she stood up. She quickly called Yi Man and herself to the toilet to tidy up. After tidying up, Yu Ruo sat back down with an awkward expression. She angrily said to the boy behind her,"Your hands are really cheap!" The boys in the back row were laughing wildly at Yu Ruo. They were discussing and laughing at her. Yu Ruo felt helpless and angry. At the same time, he saw Zeyang sitting in the back row. He was expressionless and didn't look very happy. However, he was actually so indifferent when he was bullied and ridiculed by other boys. He was her boyfriend.
"Why isn't Yangyang saying anything? Why is he like this? Is he a man?”Yi Man was also complaining.
The more Yuruo thought about it, the angrier and sadder she got. Where was the so-called sense of security she once felt? Was this what Xu Zeyang should do as a boyfriend? Was he just indifferent? Yuruo took her admission ticket and hurried out of the classroom. She was not just angry. It was Yuruo's grandfather's birthday that day, and Yuruo returned home to celebrate his birthday with the whole family as usual. At the same time, she had made a decision. Yuruo picked up her phone and sent Zeyang a message,"Let's break up. We have nothing to do with each other in the future." These few words were the fact that Yuruo had made up her mind not to change. She couldn't stand Zeyang who didn't have any ambition, and she couldn't stand Zeyang who didn't care about his girlfriend being bullied. The message was sent successfully, and Yu Ruo let out a long sigh and said to herself,"Do your best for the exam tomorrow. Don't think about anything.”
Zeyang was at a loss when he received this sudden message. He immediately replied to Yuruo's message," I'll wait for you at the intersection of your house in the afternoon. Can you come out?”
Yuruo rejected him. She wouldn't see him again, and she wouldn't take back her words.
The entrance exam was carried out as scheduled. Yu Ruo did her best to pass the test for the next two days. Finally, the exams were over, which meant that the three years of junior high school were over. She had experienced so much in the rainy season, but she rarely said anything about pain. However, to her, the happiness, sadness, panic, farewell, madness, humbleness, and broken feelings still tore her heart to varying degrees.
It was summer vacation, the last long holiday in junior high school. Yi Man became Zeyang's client and tried her best to help Zeyang save Yuruo. See the wonderful story in the next chapter.
