Lu Xiaoyue stared at the report card for a long time before she squeezed out a sentence.
"That damn stinky fish actually did better than me!”He turned to look at Lin Xinlan and Chen Yu and said,""Then what was his reaction just now? He did better than me. Shouldn't he be showing off to me and gloating that I did badly?”"Is he sympathizing with me?" she asked after a pause.”Lu Xiaoyue seemed to be asking Lin Xinlan and Chen Yu, but also seemed to be asking herself.
Lin Xinlan and Chen Yu could only shake their heads.
"That damn stinky fish is pretending to be deep!”Lu Xiaoyue suddenly said with certainty. Lin Xinlan and Chen Yu were speechless.
Lu Xiao Yue was sixth, Xiao Hongyu was fourth, Lin Xinlan was third, and Chen Yu was second, slightly higher than Lin Xinlan. Lu Xiaoyue looked at her report card and swore to herself that she would definitely surpass Xiao Hongyu next time.
The days passed quietly. Spring had arrived in City G, and the school could not contain the spring. Lin Xinlan and Lu Xiaoyue were still inseparable, Lu Xiaoyue and Xiao Hongyu were still bickering for fun, and Chen Yu and Lin Xinlan were still as calm as water.
Shen Mocheng moved out of the dormitory and moved into an apartment near the school with Chen Muyun. Chen Muyun woke up earlier than him every day to make breakfast for him. When he went to class, she would go to the market to buy groceries. From then on, Chen Muyun's daily life revolved around Silent Cheng. Fortunately, Silent Cheng listened to her. He never missed his three meals a day. He went home on time every day and ate on time. Shen Mocheng would run every day. The first thing he did after getting up every morning was to jog around Qinghu Park twice before going home to have breakfast and go to class. Qinghu Park was just opposite the school gate, and it was also very close to Mo Jingcheng's apartment.
Because she was a day student, she didn't stay in school for meals, jogging, and exercise. Other than class time, she was so silent that she almost didn't meet Lin Xinlan. This was exactly what he had wanted to avoid Lin Xinlan. However, in the classroom, he would still look at her inadvertently. Occasionally, she would turn around to look at him. After their eyes met, they would suddenly look away. They no longer parted on bad terms like before. He finally did not have to worry about how to face her like that, nor did he have to deliberately avoid her gaze. They would continue to attend day school, and they would never have any more interactions. Everything seemed to be like this, just as he had hoped. However, when one day, what he had hoped for became a reality, he felt a little disappointed. Was it because he had nothing to do with her anymore?
Lin Xinlan naturally didn't know that Mo Jingcheng was a day student. However, when the students in the class were discussing the matter of Silent Cheng's day school, Lin Xinlan suddenly realized that Silent Cheng was no longer an unknown and dispensable boy in the corner. Because he got first place in the exam, his classmates paid attention to him. It was not just Chen Yu. Before this, many students did not know that Silent Cheng existed in the class. After the results were announced, Shen Mucheng still sat in the corner, but he was no longer easily ignored. Lin Xinlan felt gratified. Perhaps this way, she would not be alone anymore.
However, everything was not as Lin Xinlan had hoped. Silent Cheng still did his own thing and went about alone. He responded to the enthusiasm of his classmates with indifference. She finally knew that he was a day student. She finally knew why he was not in the classroom on weekends and why he left in a hurry after the evening self-study session. He didn't live in the school. Now that he had his own space, he naturally wouldn't stay in the classroom anymore. Thinking of this, Lin Xinlan only felt a suffocating feeling in her heart. She hoped that she could make him no longer lonely, but the plot had developed to this point, and she seemed to be powerless.
Silent Cheng, God knows how much I wish you could get rid of loneliness, how much I wish I could accompany you and work hard with you. I can't help you, but why does my heart hurt for no reason? And you, why are you still unwilling to let go of yourself? If all this was just my wishful thinking, then I give up!
In the dream, the mountain was full of azalea flowers blooming, butterflies flying, birds chirping…The warmth of the sun fell on the green and soft grass. Lin Xinlan sat up and looked at the uninvited guest who had suddenly barged in.
"Do you…like it here?"
"Yes, but…I'm lost."
"Will you come back after I take you out?”
"Maybe. It's beautiful here!"
A familiar pain came from her heart. Lin Xinlan was already used to waking up like this. The sky had just brightened, but she was no longer sleepy. After getting up and washing up, she carried her bag and carefully closed the door before leaving the dormitory. There was still no one on campus. She walked to the football field and saw that there was no one on the huge plastic track. She put down her bag and started running. She remembered that she had woken up early for a morning run because of that dream. When she met Mo Jingcheng, she greeted him warmly, but he shouted at her, saying that he was annoyed to see her. It had been a long time since that incident, but Lin Xinlan felt like it was only yesterday when she came here again because of that strange dream.
Nothing could be forced. Lin Xinlan, study hard and improve every day! Good luck!
After her morning run, Lin Xinlan took out her English textbook and began to read the text. There were more and more people running on the football field. Lin Xinlan found a quiet path behind the laboratory building and continued reading. Every day after that, Lin Xinlan would wake up early to run and read in the morning. Later on, Lu Xiaoyue also joined her. The two of them persevered and struggled together... A fulfilling life made Lin Xinlan no longer have time to be confused and distressed by silence. Lu Xiaoyue also rarely thought about silence because she was determined to surpass Xiao Hongyu and Lin Xinlan.
Lin Deyan called his daughter two days in advance to remind her to go out for a good meal with her classmates on her birthday. Lin Xinlan flipped through the calendar and found out that her birthday was coming up. From the age of twelve, she had spent her birthday with her classmates and friends at school, but her father would call her every time to remind her. When she was young, her mother would cook delicious food for her every birthday. Then, she would smile and say," Our Xin Lan has grown another year!”。However, since she was twelve, her mother had never attended her birthday. Du Qinru couldn't remember her birthday. When Lin Xinlan was young, she had checked her marriage certificate with Lin Deyan. She said that the date of birth on it was fake, but Lin Xinlan always remembered that date, March 19th. Every day, Lin Xinlan would hug her mother and say," Mom, happy birthday!”。However, from the age of twelve, Lin Xinlan could not say happy birthday to her mother in school. Over time, the mother and daughter only remembered each other's birthdays, but they never said happy birthdays to each other again.
April 26th was Lin Xinlan's birthday. It was a Saturday. After the afternoon classes, it was the start of the weekend. The school was closed off. Other than the students who applied for day school, the rest of the students could only leave the school on Saturday afternoon. Lin Xinlan pulled Lu Xiao Yue and ran out of the school gate, standing at the school gate.
Lu Xiaoyue panted heavily. "Little Xin, there's…no one…chasing us…behind us. We can…walk slowly!”
"Xiaoyue, let's go eat a big meal. It's my treat today!”
"Little Xin, are you…alright? Did…anything good happen today?"
"Is my birthday a good thing?"
"What? Is today your birthday?"
"Yeah, and it's been a long time since we came out to relax. We're going to eat and have fun today!”
"Alright, then what are we going to eat?”
Lin Xinlan smiled mysteriously and pulled Lu Xiaoyue.”
They came to a small but very unique restaurant. Lin Xinlan pulled Lu Xiaoyue to sit down.
"Sit down first. I'll go order!" After saying that, Lin Xinlan went to the service desk and said a few words to the waiter.
He sat down opposite Lu Xiaoyue.
"What is it that makes it so mysterious?”Lu Xiaoyue looked at Lin Xinlan, who was in a good mood, with a puzzled expression.
"You'll know later!"
After a while, the waiter came over with two plates of beef rice.
"This is your beef rice! Please enjoy!" The waiter gave her a signature smile, and Lin Xinlan nodded at her.
After that, she left.
Lu Xiaoyue stared blankly at the beef rice in front of her. After a while, she asked,"Little Xin, is this what you meant by a feast?”
"Is there a problem?"
" Mysterious feast…beef rice?"
"Beef is very expensive, okay? Moreover, it's already very good that I can treat you to this now. When I earn money myself, I'll treat you to a real feast! Just make do with it now. No matter what, this is better than the food in the cafeteria!”
"Alright, Little Xin, I didn't dislike it! It's your birthday today, and I'm the only one accompanying you. As long as you're happy, it's fine. Besides, compared to the food in the cafeteria, this is indeed a big meal!”After Lu Xiaoyue finished speaking, she began to eat heartily.
Lin Xinlan was relieved to see her eating so happily. She knew that Lu Xiaoyue was not the same kind of person as the girl who despised her birthday present.
"Where are we going after eating?" Lu Xiaoyue raised her head and asked Lin Xinlan.
"Where do you want to go?"
"Your birthday is the most important. We can go wherever you want!”
"Let's go to Qinghu Park. We'll buy some food later.”
"Alright, I'll listen to you. Why don't we buy some more wine and get drunk?”
Lin Xinlan thought for a moment and nodded." Alright! I won't go home until I'm drunk!"
The two of them reached a consensus and high-fived to make a vow. The sound echoed throughout the restaurant, and the eyes of the other customers who were eating shot over in unison. Lin Xinlan and Lu Xiaoyue understood and lowered their heads to look at each other and smile.
After coming out of the restaurant, Lin Xinlan and Lu Xiaoyue walked into the supermarket. When they came out with a bag of snacks and a few bottles of beer, it was already past dusk and night had begun to fall. Soon, they arrived at the Clear Lake Park opposite the school gate. The park was very large, with a large lake in the middle. There were several small islands in the middle of the lake, and the small islands were connected by suspension bridges. There were many people coming and going on the suspension bridges. There were pavilions of various sizes by the lake. At this time, many old people gathered in the pavilions to play the erhu and chat. There was also a huge square. The square was filled with singing and dancing. It was very lively.
