Chapter 4
The high schools in Shanghai always leave school early on Fridays, and the city's No. [-] Girls' High School is no exception.

Just as the sun shone into the classroom at three o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the girls' high school slowly opened.Immediately afterwards, a group of youthful young girls came out in twos and threes, chirping, and there was a buzz of voices, like [-] ducks.

Although the city's Seventh Girls' High School is full of rich and powerful, there are also middle-class people who want to make their children stand out.At this moment, in addition to vehicles starting to stop in some distant places, parents who came to pick up their children from school have already greeted them.

It wasn't just the parents who greeted them, but also some younger boys.Among them, those who were not old enough to have a driver's license waited on various two-wheeled vehicles, with the word "Shuaibi" written on their youthful faces.

"Jie'er, that man is staring at you." The deskmate poked Shen Jie.

Shen Jie looked in the direction of her deskmate's gaze, and saw a tall boy standing there.

This man was wearing a white suit, white shirt, white tie and white leather shoes. Under the sunlight, even his skin was a bit hazy.

With one hand in his pocket, his eyes were piercing, as if he was examining the students who came out one by one.

"It's not necessarily me, is it?" Shen Jie took advantage of her height to cover her face with her deskmate.

However, the young man in white had stopped searching. He stared at Shen Jie and began to approach slowly.

"He's pretty handsome, but his taste in clothes is a bit...unique. Did the guy who ordered your song come to a showdown today? You're so dazzling, like a firefly in the dark, I can't hide you even if I want to .”

Indeed, although he was dressed strangely, he had sword-like brows and star-eyed eyes, and a righteous face.

That being the case, why not talk to him clearly.

Shen Jie thought so, but seeing that she couldn't escape, she simply turned around from behind her deskmate.

"Uh, are you Shen Jie?"

A timid voice came from behind Shen Jie, very close.

Shen Jie turned around, only to see a somewhat slovenly young man.

He was wearing the summer sports uniform of an unknown middle school, a pair of cheap sneakers, and a pair of old-fashioned square glasses with black frames. No wonder no one noticed him.

He is not short, but has long arms and legs.The boy took off his glasses and wiped his eyes. The eyes were quite big and watery.He put on his glasses again, pulled the shoulder strap of his schoolbag with one hand, and nervously brushed aside the hair on his forehead with the other hand, which was already covered with fine beads of sweat.

Shen Jie was startled for a moment, then turned to look in the direction of the young man in white just now, only to find that the man had disappeared at some point.

She ignored the teasing from her deskmate, and walked towards Xiao Yao at a leisurely pace.

"Student, are you looking for me?" Shen Jie asked gently.

Xiao Yao nodded.

Fortunately, there is no sense of wretchedness as imagined, and overall, it can be regarded as delicate - but, that's all.

"Xiaoying, should you go first?"

The tablemate named Xiaoying looked Xiao Yao up and down distrustfully: "Is it really all right, how about I accompany you?"

"No need," Shen Jie lifted the schoolbag strap on her shoulder, and shook her head lightly at Xiao Yao: "Let's go?"

Xiao Yao was startled: "Ah, let's go? Where are you going?"

"You can't just stand here and talk, right?" Shen Jie's mouth curled up.

--split line--

This year's Magic City, milk tea shops are not everywhere like ten years later, but there is one across the road from the city's Seventh Girls' High School.The words "Pearl Milk Tea" are simply written on the plaque, and the space inside is also very small, with only two or three small round tables.

Students in No. [-] Middle School generally have relatively strong spending power, so this place is still quite popular, and the aunts at the milk tea shop have made a lot of money this year.

At this time, there were two students sitting at a table next to the counter in the store, one was a girl whose temperament was incompatible with the environment, and the other was a boy whose temperament was incompatible with the environment.

"Xiao Yao? What does it have to do with Li Xiaoyao?" Shen Jie ordered a cup of honey grapefruit tea for herself with ease.

"No, it doesn't matter."

Shen Jie pushed the menu in front of Xiao Yao.

"I, I don't drink," Xiao Yao glanced at the numbers on the menu, and licked his chapped lips: "I'm not thirsty."

"Please have another cup of pearl milk tea, together." Shen Jie waved her hand to the clerk, and casually took out a hundred-yuan bill from her schoolbag and handed it over.

"Don't..." Xiao Yao stretched out his hand to refuse.

"I don't have much time." She glanced at the watch on her wrist and smiled apologetically, "Because I have an appointment with the coach of the dojo."

"Shen Jie, I..."

"How did you know me?"

"..."

"It's okay if you don't want to say it," Shen Jie said gently, "Thank you for liking me, but you are not my type, so please don't waste your time on me in the future, I'm sorry."

The other party's face turned pale.

"You are a very cute boy, there must be a girl who is more suitable for you than me." Shen Jie continued to speak on the scene.

"No," Xiao Yao clenched his fists: "This is too outrageous."

"Huh?" Shen Jie raised her eyebrows, is she going to do something?

"Why don't you play cards according to common sense?" Xiao Yao was silent for a few seconds, as if he was suppressing his temper, and changed a more gentle tone: "I haven't confessed my love, how can you reject me?"

"Thank you." Shen Jie greeted the waiter slightly, and took her honey grapefruit tea.

"When we met for the first time, you didn't even know me, so you rejected me rashly, saying that I wasn't your type. Aren't you a little proud?" Xiao Yao said seriously.

Proud of me?Shen Jie took a sip of the drink in her hand, showing a somewhat puzzled expression.

"Eyes are very important, so there's nothing wrong with that?" Shen Jie replied tactfully.

"No, character and inner character are the most important," Xiao Yao insisted, "Give others a chance, just give yourself a chance, don't close that door in a hurry, between people..."

Shen Jie was a little startled—the number of boys who pursued her and confessed to her could not be counted on both hands, and most of them were courteous in every possible way.

After being rejected, there are those who retreat despite the difficulties, and some who are confused, but like this, she has never seen anyone who accuses them with righteous words and preaches like an elder.

Apart from the novelty, Shen Jie didn't know whether to be annoyed or amused.

"Then you," Shen Jie lowered the corners of her mouth on purpose, making her eyes sharpen: "You also don't understand me, right? As you said, we are strangers, what do you like about me? Isn't it also about my looks?
"I don't know you at all, but you keep calling me and calling home? It's okay to send me a letter, and you still order songs for me at school today? Do you know that I became a student at school again today? The focus of the topic? Also, you were the one who followed me secretly after school a few times ago? Have you ever thought that this might cause trouble for girls, and sometimes there is a thin line between pursuit and harassment? "

Shen Jie spoke very fast, Xiao Yao tried to interrupt several times, but failed.

"Who called you, who ordered you a song?" Xiao Yao finally interjected: "I don't even have your phone number, how can I call you?"

"Ah?" Shen Jie looked at Xiao Yao who had a puzzled face, but didn't realize it for a while: "Aren't you..."

After clarifying the misunderstanding, Shen Jie covered her mouth with one hand and her stomach with the other, pounded the table with her small fists, and started laughing.

She has had this problem since she was a child. Once she hits the point of laughing, she can't stop.

"Is it that funny..." Xiao Yao looked helplessly at himself.

"Yes, I'm sorry, haha...I...hahaha...I didn't do it on purpose...haha..." Shen Jie lowered her head under the table, desperately trying to control herself.

"I...was rude." Finally, Shen Jie controlled herself: "I'm really sorry."

She stood up and bowed deeply at 90° to Xiao Yao, with her two ponytails hanging straight down.

Xiao Yao quickly stood up too: "Don't, don't..."

"However," Shen Jie didn't sit down, and explained with a sincere face: "Because of my family, I really don't plan to fall in love. This is not an excuse."

"Leave a contact information and make friends, right?" The other party still didn't give up.

Shen Jie raised her forehead: "Then tell me, why do you want to make friends with me, and how did you find me?"

It's strange to say that when Xiao Yao approached her, he asked, "Excuse me, are you Shen Jie?" This meant that he had never seen him before, but he had ignored this point just now.

The boy across the round table pondered for a while: "I can't tell you the reason, otherwise you will think I'm crazy, or think I'm making fun of you."

Shen Jie's curiosity was aroused: "I promise not."

"Impossible." Xiao Yao shook his head.

"Say it or not, I'll give you the contact information if you tell me, otherwise I'll be leaving." Shen Jie teased him with a smile.

"...You, oh, okay." Xiao Yao looked completely helpless with her: "You don't have to believe me, but don't get angry."

"Okay." Shen Jie readily agreed, and sat down again.

"I don't know if there is such a legend in your school. It is said that in thunderstorm weather, staring at the mirror at three o'clock at night..."

Xiao Yao talked about the thunderstorm and the mirror in the early morning of this morning, how he met a girl named Shen Tianyun, and finally found here.The story was told so vividly and vividly that for a moment, Shen Jie almost believed it.

"So, I'm here." Xiao Yao looked at Shen Jie anxiously.

Shen Jie rested her chin on one hand, looked thoughtful, and didn't say a word.

Shen Tianyun, how did this man know this name?
When Shen Jie was very young, when she was playing house, she really named the doll playing her daughter this name.Later, when she got older, she knew that most children would take their father's surname, but she still fell in love with the name "Tianyun".

But, how did he know about this kind of thing?Even I might not be able to get in touch with those childhood playmates...

Obviously, this boy took great pains to secretly collect a lot of background information about himself, and then adopted this seemingly off-line but very novel way of confessing.

If it is an ordinary girl, you may be vigilant and afraid of it.

But she is Shen Jie.

Having made up such an absurd story, and being able to tell it in such a serious manner, without blushing and heartbeat, I have to say, it is quite creative.

Great man, you managed to get my attention.

"I know this sounds hard to believe," Xiao Yao said, "but—"

Shen Jie made a "STOP" gesture, and glanced at the gradually darkening sky outside: "I'm really going to the dojo."

This is the truth, I was dragged along and haven't had dinner yet.

"Oh...um." Xiao Yao said.

"Hand." Shen Jie spread out a palm.

"Ah? Oh." Xiao Yao stretched out his palm in doubt.

Shen Jie took out a fountain pen from the side pocket of her schoolbag, took Xiao Yao's hand, and wrote 8-digit numbers on it.

"This is my QQ number, please contact me next time?" Shen Jie said.

"Can you give me your mobile phone number?" The other party was still pushing forward: "I don't have a computer at home, so it's inconvenient to log in to QQ."

"Don't you have a QQ mobile phone?" As soon as the words fell, Shen Jie regretted it.Looking at the Lenovo flip phone that Xiao Yao placed on the table, it is estimated that it does not have the function of 2G Internet access.

"No."

The corners of Shen Jie's mouth raised again.She shook her index finger: "Go and ask my daughter for the mobile phone number—if there is one."

"Can--"

"Let's go, Brother Xiaoyao." Shen Jie said mischievously, picked up her schoolbag, walked lightly, and left without looking back.

The setting sun has almost completely sunk in this steel forest full of desires, and the last twilight is about to fade away.

She actually sat with that guy for so long, Shen Jie thought.

Shen Tianyun...?

She silently recited this familiar and unfamiliar name in her heart, and the ancient dusty memories flooded her mind like a tide.
