Xinyiwu: Originally

Chapter 12
It was five days after Su Yunjin returned to the classroom, and anyone with a discerning eye could see the black thread wrapped around the buttons of her school uniform.The miracle didn't happen. Her father's illness was unable to recover. Seeing her dying, the family led her back in a hurry. After all, she couldn't let her father who loves her the most see her for the last time.Su Yunjin didn't show much sadness in front of people, and when someone comforted her, she just thanked her lightly.Self-study, eating, sleeping, as usual, but the eyes are sunken, and there is no blood on the face.

Cheng Zheng didn't know what to say to her at this time, in fact she didn't even give him this chance.The second day after Su Yunjin returned to school, she switched places with Mo Yuhua who was originally sitting in the first row.Cheng Zheng was short-tempered, but Mo Yuhua's temper was also reticent, no matter whether he was cold-eyed or disgusted, she didn't respond at all.Cheng Zheng knew that the relationship between her and Su Yunjin was not bad, so he couldn't bear to ask, and asked Zhou Ziyi to talk to him for a few rounds, but he got nothing.

After two days of patience, Cheng Zheng watched Su Yunjin in the first row from a distance and began to fidget.I finally remembered that I still had the "Analysis of Classical Chinese" that day, and went forward to return it with excuses.He handed it over, and Su Yunjin reached out to take it, without saying a word from the beginning to the end.Cheng Zheng returned the book and refused to leave, standing between her desk and the podium, holding back for a long time before saying: "Don't be too sad, people cannot be resurrected after death."

Su Yunjin didn't even raise her head, and gave a vague "hmm" as an answer.He thought about pumping himself again, which pot was not opened and which pot was lifted, why did it bring up her sadness again, but what else could he say?Although the students around are doing their own things, their ears are all pricked up.He still stood for a while, he was already tall, and he stood in front of the podium in the middle of the first row, as if everyone in the class was watching him, he just stared at Su Yunjin, and everyone else began to feel uncomfortable.When the class bell rang, Zhou Ziyi passed by the aisle, grabbed his shoulders and pulled him back to his seat.

After class exercises, everyone rushed back to the classroom in a noisy manner. Cheng Zheng saw that Su Yunjin was alone. He walked quickly through the crowd, trying to walk towards her, but before he got close, she had already detoured and disappeared from his sight Inside.

After repeating this several times, Cheng Zheng's patience was completely exhausted, and it was more difficult than if she patted him with a sanitary napkin a hundred times in public.He was anxious and anxious, thinking that the school was so big, where else could she hide.After school in the afternoon, he didn't go home for dinner, and he stopped playing football. He found a reason to get rid of Zhou Ziyi and waited on the only way to the cafeteria in the dormitory area.

Not long after, Su Yunjin came out side by side with Mo Yuhua, carrying an old kettle. She saw Cheng Zheng from a distance, and secretly groaned in her heart. She whispered a few words to Mo Yuhua, and Mo Yuhua took her bowl , she herself turned around and turned back.

Cheng Zheng knew that she was deliberately avoiding him, and he was sure that he would not dare to break into the girls' dormitory. After a few steps, he saw that she had almost entered the gate of the dormitory area. Shouted: "Su Yunjin, come out."

Su Yunjin paused, and her hands that were still holding the hot water bottle couldn't help shaking. She had seen Cheng Zheng's arrogance and difficulty before, but she didn't expect him to be so arrogant.She took a few more steps out of habit, and comforted herself in a self-deceiving way: She is not a well-known figure, how many of the people present who heard it knew Su Yunjin?Let him shout and ignore him.That being said, when Cheng Zheng called out her name aloud for the second time, Su Yunjin felt her scalp go numb, and she clearly saw the dormitory manager who was eating also came out with a lunch box to look around.

You must know that high school is no match for college, and the romances downstairs in the girls' dormitory are unheard of.No matter how undercurrents are going on behind the adolescent boys and girls, everyone still abides by the rules and regulations. For the sake of the college entrance examination, the school is very strict about this matter. Teachers and students, including parents, are very sensitive. They would rather not get good grades. Jia, and don't want to be labeled as puppy love. Those couples are at most just holding hands when no one is around.When Cheng Zheng shouted these few times, it was tantamount to exploding a hornet's nest. People poked their heads out in front of several dormitory doors, and pedestrians who passed by stopped one after another.

At this time, Su Yunjin had to admit that she was not as courageous as Cheng Zheng. He was not afraid of anything, but she was.It would be bad if he kept shouting like this, she walked towards him shyly and anxiously, and didn't stop when she passed by him.Cheng Zheng shut up decisively after seeing her go and come back, and followed her for a short distance cooperatively, and finally stopped at a relatively unobtrusive place, although Su Yunjin was very suspicious of the so-called Avoiding people's eyes and ears is just a self-defeating idea. It's a public place anyway, where can I avoid it.

"What are you calling?" She brushed the broken hair on her forehead behind her ears indiscriminately, and asked through gritted teeth.

Cheng Zheng seemed very quiet at this moment, even... peaceful.Such a good appearance, so innocent, as if it is not too much to present him in front of him, people can't bear to criticize him.But Su Yunjin didn't want to look at him at all, it was all an illusion.

"Why are you avoiding me?" Without waiting for her answer, he asked another question impatiently, "Did you hear what I said that day?"

Actually this is the same problem.Su Yunjin was also dumbfounded that night, and panicked when she ran away. She wished she could put everything behind her at that time, but in fact, she heard every word Cheng Zheng said very clearly.What's even more surprising is that she didn't doubt the authenticity of what he said, but only had one question, why was it her?
"I like you." He repeated it again, although there was a suspicious blush on his face when he said this, but he still said it firmly.This is Cheng Zheng's usual style, it's okay if she doesn't answer, he has his own answer in his heart, it doesn't matter if he didn't hear it that day, at worst, he will say it again until she hears it.Frank and naked, that kind of thoughts flooded your head and covered your face, making you inevitable and irreversible.

"This is your business." She tightly grasped the white iron handle of the thermos bottle with both hands.

"In this case, why are you avoiding me? Are you angry with me?"

"No." Su Yunjin denied.

Cheng Zheng's suspicion contained surprise: "Aren't you angry?"

Su Yunjin was at a loss for words, as if she had been detoured into a dead end.If she admits being angry, it's as if she's having trouble with him, but if she doesn't get angry, wouldn't it be the same as acquiescing to his shameless behavior that day?

Su Yunjin stretched out her hand to brush the hair behind her ears again, but this time her hair was meticulous, and she could feel her panic and unease.Cheng Zheng seemed to take a step forward inadvertently while speaking, Su Yunjin turned her head guiltily, Auntie Sheguan was still staring at where they were, she couldn't help but begging her tone: "Cheng Zheng, don't make trouble now, I'm I really don’t feel like thinking about it.”

Cheng Zheng fixedly looked at the black silk threads on her buttons, and finally he was not so aggressive this time: "Then... when are you going to wait?"

Su Yunjin was afraid that he would mess around again, and didn't know what else he would do, so she said vaguely: "Let's talk about it later."

"What day is 'later'?"

"After the college entrance examination." Su Yunjin was forced to do nothing by him, everyone was watching, she just wanted to send him away quickly.

"Really?"

"Really. But until then, please stop making trouble, okay?"

Perhaps it was her rare soft words that played a role, Cheng Zheng looked quite satisfied. "What you say is settled."

Cheng Zheng still kept his word. From that day on, he never deliberately went to find Su Yunjin. Of course, occasionally when he met in the stairwell, he would pull her hair while no one was around, or throw a piece of chalk at her from a distance. In his opinion, such a small matter as the head is not a violation of the agreement.He was not a slack person in the first place, and he had always been very demanding of himself. Compared to before, when his heart was hanging in the air, now he can devote all his attention to reviewing.Su Yunjin also heaved a sigh of relief, getting a good grade in the exam and letting her father in the sky get a little comfort has become her greatest sustenance.

But the rumors did not die down as they temporarily died down.Originally, the relationship between the two of them was a bit weird in the eyes of the class, because the gap was too big, at first the students didn't dare to think about it, and thought it was because the two were particularly at odds.But that day Cheng Zheng yelled at the door of the dormitory, not a few people heard it, and it gradually spread to the ears of acquaintances. The "witnesses" spoke convincingly, and everyone recalled the details before, and the answer was naturally obvious. At the moment, they felt that the two of them must have had an affair secretly, and those little festivals turned out to be nothing more than an awkward relationship between lovers.

As a result, the love affair between Cheng Zheng and Su Yunjin in the fourth class of senior high school was spreading among people they knew and did not know at an incredible speed, and it became the last sensational topic of their class before the college entrance examination.The male protagonist of this topic is much more famous than the female protagonist, and more people are curious about who Su Yunjin is.However, no matter how menacing the rumors behind the scenes were, the two parties were indifferent and did not even make excuses.Cheng Zheng naturally does what he should do every day, and if anyone mentions it, he will put on an expression of doing something.Su Yunjin, who has always been low-key and silent, still came and went quietly, turning a deaf ear to the pointing and whispering behind her in the classroom and outside the corridor.

The one who can't hold his breath is the old grandson.He probably also heard those comments. Although he is young, his teaching methods have always been open-minded, and he likes to mingle with students, but as long as he is a teacher, especially the head teacher, there is no one who does not express taboo against the students in the class, let alone before this kind of college entrance examination. critical moment.

One night during self-study, Cheng Zheng saw Su Yunjin being called out of the classroom by Lao Sun to talk alone, and his heart sank.Zhou Ziyi was still adding fuel to the fire, and whispered: "You guys are miserable, it must be because of that!" Cheng Zheng felt uncomfortable for a while, he was not afraid that the old grandson would make trouble for him, but Su Yunjin has always been very thin-skinned, because of this kind of thing Being asked by the teacher, one can imagine how embarrassing it will be.Sure enough, ten minutes later, Su Yunjin walked back to the classroom with a gloomy complexion. Cheng Zheng knew that this was all caused by his blatant actions before, so he couldn't help feeling a little regretful, lest she would hate him again because of it.

"Wait, it's your turn soon." Zhou Ziyi's crow mouth didn't stop.

Sure enough, less than a minute after Su Yunjin returned to her seat, Cheng Zheng was also called out by Lao Sun's name.Lao Sun led him to the end of the aisle, and as soon as he stood still, Cheng Zheng put his hands into the pockets of his school uniform, mentally prepared to be criticized, and quietly waited for Lao Sun's opening remarks.

Seeing him like this, Lao Sun was furious.I really hate iron but not steel!He was Cheng Zheng's class teacher before, and later became the class teacher. He watched Cheng Zheng walk over in the third year of high school.He is obviously a good seedling, smart, willing to work hard, with stable grades, and good self-discipline ability. He is a top student who doesn't have to worry about anything. He looks good in every way. Why is it that there is still more than a month before the college entrance examination? What about "not guaranteed at the end of the festival"?
Old Sun cleared his throat and found his opening words: "Tell yourself whether the recent rumors about you having a puppy love with your female classmate Su Yunjin are true, if not..."

"It's true." Cheng Zheng interrupted him with calm eyes.

"You..." Old Sun was angry, pointing a finger at the student in front of him who was half a head taller than him, "Why is that?"

"Because I like him. If you are asking me why I like her, then I don't know. Teacher, do you know?" Lao Sun forced himself to take a deep breath: "You don't realize the seriousness of the problem at all!"

"No, I always thought this problem was serious!" Cheng Zheng said seriously.

"You have the nerve to say that the school prohibits middle school students from falling in love. Do you understand that puppy love will affect your grades and future?" "My grades and future have nothing to do with this matter. My ranking has dropped? No, neither has Su Yunjin .”

This is actually a fact. Su Yunjin's performance has improved significantly in the last few mock exams. At the best time, she was able to enter the top [-], but this is not an excuse for puppy love.Old Sun Xiaozhi reasoned with emotion, "No matter what you say, it's wrong for you to do this."

Cheng Zheng lowered his head and thought for a while: "Ms. Sun, let me tell you the truth. Even if it's wrong, it's all my fault, and it has nothing to do with her."

"Cheng Zheng, Cheng Zheng, with your conditions, what do you want after you go to college, why bother?" Old Sun hated him for not being able to argue.

Cheng Zheng was silent, and Lao Sun continued: "I also came here at your age, children, it's normal to be impulsive and confused..."

"But I'm confused. She's been awake all the time. Is this normal?"

"You mean, Su Yunjin doesn't mean that to you?" Lao Sun froze for a moment, rubbing his chin playfully, logically speaking, it shouldn't be.

"Teacher, you talked to her just now, did she say anything to you?"

"She didn't say anything."

"Not even a denial?" Cheng Zheng's eyes lit up.

"Denied..." Lao Sun thought for a while, "That's not true..."

"Really?"

Lao Sun came to his senses now, and said angrily, "You're so tall, what are you doing! I'm here to tell you about the dangers of puppy love, not to be a love consultant!"

"Honestly, Teacher Sun, you've been here too, what do you think of her?" Cheng Zheng asked recklessly.

"Who? Su Yunjin, she doesn't look very impressive at first glance, but she's quite pretty when you look closely... Cheng Zheng, that's enough, go back to the classroom right now!"

Sure enough, he was almost driven crazy by these two people.Ordinarily, although Lao Sun has not been teaching for a long time, he has seen many examples of puppy love. He was picked up by the teacher to talk, some denied it flatly, and some did not admit it. Tonight, these two have never seen each other. Pass.

When Su Yunjin was called out just now, everything was normal at the beginning. Before Lao Sun could speak, she blushed and pursed her lips tightly, as if she was ashamed of the teacher, but gradually he felt that something was wrong, no matter how much he babbled. She presented the facts and explained the consequences to her absolutely and righteously. Her pursed lips never loosened.In the end, Lao Sun felt that this one-man show could not continue, and it was abnormal to continue talking to himself, so he had to put her back in the classroom.It would be better to change to the one in front of him, there are questions and answers, but he has completely lost his eagerness to lecture.

Cheng Zheng smiled and walked towards the classroom obediently, then suddenly stopped and said to the frustrated old Sun, "Teacher, don't worry, I won't let you down in the college entrance examination."

Rumors are like this sometimes. The more you try to get rid of them, the darker the description will become. On the contrary, if you are willing to make up your mind and say, "So what if it's true?" the rumors will lose their own meaning.Cheng Zheng and Su Yunjin had the same solution.After a while of uproar, the teacher also came forward, but these two people refused to make any response, and seemed to have lost contact. Gradually, this matter was no longer brought up by so many people.
