After a day of extra-cursory activities, Tian Xin said to Si Rou,""I saw a lot of books on the bookshelf in Yang Fan's dormitory. Why don't we borrow them?”
When Si Rou heard that she was going to see Yang Fan, she quickly shook her head and said,""No. If you want to go, you can go by yourself. Anyway, I won't go with you.”
"What's wrong with accompanying me?" Tian Xin said unhappily when she heard that. Yang Fan won't eat you. I think Yang Fan is quite good. Not only is he handsome, but he is also knowledgeable. Several female teachers in our school have a good impression of him, let alone female students.”
Si Rou couldn't help but smile and ask Tian Xin,"Do you like Yang Fan?" I refused to go because I was afraid of seeing his 'dead face'. Have you forgotten about checking the test papers last time? I didn't forget! I don't want to find any more obstacles for nothing.”
"This time, you just have to accompany me. I'll be in front. When I speak, you just have to follow.”Tian Xin said.
"You can go to the school library to borrow books? Why do you have to go to his place?"
"The school's library is only open to teachers, and it's very troublesome. I don't want to trouble my dad. When we went to Yang Fan's dormitory last time, I found that he had a lot of books, so I wanted you to accompany me to borrow them.”
"But, I'm a little afraid to see him. Do you feel that way?”
"I didn't. At least we lived in the same courtyard. When I went home, I often saw him taking a walk at the door. I often met him and greeted him. I didn't feel afraid. Actually, he was a good person. Speaking of liking, I think Xia Xuejiao from class one and class one is the one who really likes Yang Fan. She always likes to go to Yang Fan's dormitory for no reason. I've met her several times. The way she looked at Yang Fan was about to burn with anger.”
"Really?"
"I'm not human if I lie to you."
"Which one is Xia Xuejiao? Is she very pretty?"
"I'll point it out to you when we meet one day. She's quite beautiful. She had big eyes, fair skin, naturally curly hair, and good grades.”
"Dead Face is quite popular with women! Are you one of them now?"
"Even so." Tian Xin admitted softly," I do have a good impression of him. I really like his 'dead face'. She was just dreaming about her youth in her heart. Nothing else was possible.”
After Tian Xin finished speaking, her face was red and her eyes were filled with affection.
Si Rou bit her lower lip hard to stop herself from laughing out loud. She asked Tian Xin,""Do you really want to see him now?”
Tian Xin didn't say anything and nodded her head vigorously.
"Alright, I'll go all out to accompany you to see your Yang Fan.”Si Rou teased Tian Xin softly. Tian Xin pulled Si Rou's hand, and the two of them went straight to Yang Fan's dormitory.
Yang Fan carried the kettle and was about to go out when Tian Xin said softly,""Mr. Yang, I see that you have a lot of books on your bookshelf. Sirou and I would like to borrow two books to read.”
"Sure. You guys go in and look for it yourselves. I'll go get a kettle of water and be back in a while.”
Yang Fan left after he finished speaking. Tian Xin and Si Rou entered the door and ran straight to the bookshelf.
Yang Fan indeed had many books. There were also many varieties, Chinese and foreign. Science, literature... Tian Xin flipped through " Notre-Dame de Paris ", then looked at " Miserable World ", and finally chose " Ordinary World ". Si Rou first took a liking to Romance of the Three Kingdoms. After flipping through it, she found a book called 100 Complete Essays. She casually took it down and flipped through it. Among them were many famous works, such as Zhu Ziqing's Spring and Moonlight over the Lotus Pond.
Si Rou flipped through the pages and saw a one-inch black and white photo in a book. In the photo was a girl who was about her age. She had short hair and a neat row of bangs. A pair of watery eyes. Her eyes weren't big, but they were very lively. Coupled with her smooth little round face, she looked like a little beauty. Si Rou looked at the girl in the photo and felt a sense of deja vu. Who was this person? Why did he look so familiar?
Just as Si Rou was thinking about it, a hand suddenly reached out from behind her and snatched the book from her hand and closed it. Si Rou was shocked. She turned around and saw Yang Fan's cold face.
Yang Fan said coldly,"Other than this book, I don't want to borrow it."”
Si Rou's pride was hurt again. The same thing would not happen to anyone else, but why did it hit a wall when it came to her? If Yang Fan was not deliberately targeting her, it meant that the two of them were at loggerheads and were incompatible. Si Rou felt her face heat up. She was embarrassed and angry. If she were to leave in a fit of pique, she would not be able to accept it. Hence, she tugged at Tian Xin's clothes and said to Yang Fan,""Sorry for disturbing you, Teacher Yang. This will never happen again.”After saying that, he pulled Tian Xin and left.
Si Rou's tears fell the moment she stepped out of Yang Fan's dormitory. She didn't let Tian Xin speak and walked home alone. When she reached the moat bridge, Yang Fan rode his bike to catch up with her and stopped her, saying,""Song Sirou, please listen to my explanation. The girl in the essay and the photo had a special meaning to me. I apologize for my earlier behavior. I don't have the intention to make things difficult for you, nor do I have the intention to hurt you. If I hurt you unintentionally, please forgive me.”
"Alright, Teacher Yang, you didn't hurt me. Can I go now?”Si Rou also turned cold.
Yang Fan stepped aside to block the path in front of him. Si Rou stuck her hands in her pockets and continued to walk forward. Yang Fan looked at Si Rou's back as she walked away and said silently in his heart," Little girl, I didn't do it on purpose. I hope this matter won't leave a shadow in your heart. I don't mean to target you. You're too sensitive. Don't think too much.
Since the " borrowing incident ", Si Rou had never looked Yang Fan in the eye. Other than Yang Fan, who was in history class, Si Rou usually lowered her head whenever Yang Fan was around.
Tian Xin also noticed Si Rou's change. She advised Si Rou several times not to care too much about what happened that day. Yang Fan might have some difficulties that he took the book away and refused to lend it. Yang Fan wasn't a petty person, so he told her to be more open-minded. But no matter what Tian Xin said, Si Rou couldn't forget what happened that day." Yang Fan's coldness and his own awkwardness. Especially when Yang Fan snatched the book from her hands, she felt like a thief who had stolen someone else's things and was caught red-handed. If it was in the past, she would complain to Tian Xin and scold Yang Fan to vent the resentment in her heart. When she knew that Tian Xin had a good impression of Yang Fan and liked Yang Fan, she no longer wanted to scold Yang Fan in front of Tian Xin. She was afraid that she would even lose Tian Xin, this confidant.
Without Yang Fan's topic, the conversation between her and Tian Xin was much less. She had also lost a lot of joy. She seemed much calmer and less happy.
That night, during self-study, Si Rou stared blankly at a function question for nearly two classes, but she still couldn't solve it. Yang Fan walked around the corridor between the desks several times. When he saw that there was not a single word written on the exercise book in front of Si Rou, he knew that she did not know how to do it. Therefore, he did not say anything. He took out a pen from Si Rou's pencil case and wrote down the process and the answer in a few steps on the exercise book. He pushed the book to Si Rou, put down the pen, and turned to leave. Even so, Si Rou didn't look up at him. She had never been able to let go of the matter of borrowing books. This incident had obviously dealt a huge blow to her. It had been a long time, but her emotions were still in the same place. She didn't want to be like this, but for some reason, she just couldn't be happy. She couldn't be said to be sad. She just felt depressed and didn't want to talk or communicate with others. He just wanted to sit quietly and watch, to be a bystander in the story.
Yang Fan had long noticed Si Rou's change. He was very annoyed by his unintentional mistake. Especially after he learned about Si Rou's growth. He knew that she was a girl who grew up in a honey pot and had never suffered any blow or harm. The harmonious family atmosphere and good living environment made her always happy like an angel. Although she was spoiled, she was not overbearing or arrogant. She was also very enthusiastic and generous to her classmates and was very active in class matters. Her classmates had a good impression of her. Some students even said that she was like a heroine. Although his words were a little rude, there was no malice. At most, he was just venting his grievances. She had a kind heart. Through this period of contact and understanding, Yang Fan's impression of Si Rou had changed a lot. He no longer thought that she was just a pretty vase. Although she was much weaker in some subjects, some of her subjects were also beyond the reach of ordinary people. She was clever and skillful. The table was often filled with his own origami works and handmade products. According to Tian Xin, the teddy bear she hung the key on was personally sewn by Si Rou for her. Everyone thought that she was the one who bought it. She was both a mediocre person and a genius. Those who studied every day got first place, while those who did not study almost every day got first place. Some girls her age had never even touched a needle and thread, but she could sew handmade products with even stitches and realistic patterns. It was really a combination of contradictions. He had to think of a way to open the knot in this girl's heart and make her happy again.
Yang Fan had always been thinking of a way to have the best of both worlds, but there was no such thing. Later, he thought that only the truth could move people's hearts. If he really couldn't do it, he would tell her the secret in his heart to seek her understanding and not misunderstand that he was cold and heartless to her. Deep in his heart, he had the same feelings for every student. They all started out as clueless, and the only difference was who had a better or worse first impression of them. He really didn't care about his grades. He also knew that there were drawbacks in the education system where people were selected by points. This was not something he could control. He also had to educate his students to study hard and do their best to get high scores. Only by getting into a good school and receiving higher education would they have a future and hope to change their destiny. In fact, those students who did not do well in their studies might not be inferior to those who did well in their studies in the future. Reality proved that many of the people who really made a difference had never received higher education. Society was the best school, a real university. If one wasn't eliminated by society and wasn't defeated by life, one would be able to stand firmly in reality, face life slightly, and enjoy life happily every day. Only then would one truly graduate from university.
As for Si Rou, he had never discriminated against her because of her poor first place. Instead, he felt that she was very talented in other aspects. It was just that she had mistakenly thought that he looked down on her and was against her. Thus, she avoided him and rejected him. He didn't care what she thought of him. He just didn't want to hurt the little girl's self-esteem because of his feelings for another older girl. Yang Fan thought so. He decided to find a suitable opportunity to tell her what was on his mind so that she would not misunderstand him and open her heart.
