Chapter 41 Another Lion (1)

That's right...it's Yang Xin.

He couldn't believe it at first, but he was even more shocked when he met Duan Yousi's eyes. He took a step back and explained incoherently: "I...I heard Lu Jianer say that Masako you...no, I'm here Take your homework!"

Masako stood up, but her anemia made her feel dizzy, and Duan Yousi held her arm.Yang Xin also saw it, but Duan Yousi glanced at him just as he was about to come in. Yang Xin lost all confidence at just one glance, and stepped back wisely: "I...I'll go first!"

Masako was supported to sit down by him, she was in a semi-conscious state, her face was slightly pale.He frowned and touched her forehead with his hand, and then withdrew his hand after making sure it was all right, and asked, "How many days have you not slept?"

She didn't answer, he leaned down and asked again: "Is it true that you get sick every time before a major exam?"

Masako hesitated for a while, and replied: "It's true..." But she didn't want to talk about this topic, so she asked, "Who is next?"

Duan Yousi leaned on the table in front of her, looked out of the window for a while after hearing this sentence, then withdrew his attention, and said, "You take a break this winter vacation, just treat the president well."

"Is it paused or is it over?"

"Pause." He replied.

Later, Masako was sent home by Duan Yousi, and let her sleep on his shoulder along the way, Uncle Ji deliberately slowed down the speed of the car.On the way, she woke up a few times in a daze, and those few times, the first thing she saw was the hand held by him on her lap.

The palm is very warm.

The final exams are over, and the next step is to analyze the test papers, summarize the semester and winter vacation arrangements, and a series of things.

The first person Masako met when she entered the classroom the next day was Yang Xin. The classroom was very noisy, and Yang Xin was framed by his brother. He knew that he liked Masako, so he pushed him away when he saw Masako.Masako took a step back while supporting the door frame, and Yang Xin quickly stopped and bumped into the door frame on the other side.

The boys in the back patted the table in disappointment, Yang Xin and Masako looked at each other unnaturally: "I'm sorry..."

"Oh, Yang Xin, why are you so polite?" Yi Xialing, who happened to enter the classroom, put his arm around Yang Xin's shoulder and teased, "Could it be that yesterday's confession was rejected?"

original……

"No, no..." Yang Xin hastily denied it, and shook off Yi Xialing's hand, "Class is on..."

He didn't tell anyone, not even his brother, or because of Duan Yousi, or because of Masako's consideration, he even buried his thoughts.No matter what, Masako deserves to be grateful, when Masako passed by Yang Xin, she said softly: "Thank you."

Yang Xin glanced at her, and quickly avoided her again.

In the first class, the head teacher arranged the activities for these few days.He first said that Masako had been elected as the president, which even Lu Jianer did not expect, let alone the classmate who immediately expressed surprise.Then the homeroom teacher talked about Yu Qi's appointment as the vice president, but there was no silence below the podium. Yi Xialing kept asking her friend: "How did she do it?"

It is estimated that other classes are also announcing this matter. The head teacher asked the students to congratulate her and at the same time told her not to put too much pressure on her.

Then he announced a "grey news". According to Grai's practice, this winter vacation has to make up classes intermittently. After counting the number of days, the winter vacation that was supposed to be less than 20 days off actually has less than ten days off.

The whole class burst into mourning, and Lu Jian'er grabbed her hair and cried, "It's terrible..."

"Is it like this before?" Masako asked.

"I heard that the school's average score is three points lower than 'Yi'an' this time, and he became the second child in the whole district. Our school has always been the leader before, this time it's miserable, we have to make up for it..."

And Jiang Shi, who was sitting in the back, frequently complained to her friends: "Why do you have to make up lessons? It's hard to have a holiday. We made up lessons every Saturday last semester. It's not ineffective!"

Yes, Masako remembers that Grace College requires students to make up lessons every Saturday and pay the make-up fees, and sometimes even half a day on Sundays. The pressure is so great that students will inevitably complain.

The days in winter are very short, it's only four o'clock, and the sky is getting dark and cold.

After the school bell rang, Lu Jian'er reminded Masako to go to Wei Ru's house today. She wanted to rest, but since she made an appointment, she agreed.

Wei Ru's home is far away from the school, and she needs to take the subway, passing the "Yi'an" teaching building on the way.It's just that she kept looking for things in her bag along the way, groping for a long time, and then called someone, and finally said to Masako and Lu Jianer apologetically, "I'm sorry..."

"what happened?"

"I forgot to bring the keys. My dad is on a business trip, and my mom has to work overtime until seven o'clock to get home."

I also wanted to go back to rest in my heart, so Masako said, "It's okay, it will be better next time."

"That will have to be next time." Wei Ru couldn't help complaining to herself, "Really..."

"It's okay, we'll go back at the next stop." Masako comforted her, just at the stop, the car door opened, the crowd was surging, she and Lu Jian'er both stood up and waved goodbye to Weiru.

The subway roared past, the cold wind brushed her long hair to her cheeks, the crowd walked fast or slow, Masako stood waiting for the train, and gradually felt tired again.

Not long after, the subway arrived at the station, and the inside of the carriage was warmer than outside, and this feeling of tiredness became more and more intense. After sitting down, she leaned on Lu Jian'er's shoulder and closed her eyes to rest.

"Masako..." Jian'er said softly to her, "I'm going to my aunt's house to get some things, and I'm going down after three stops, so be careful when you go back later..."

"Um……"

The sound of Masako who fell asleep was very soft. After three stops, Lu Jianer woke her up softly, and she said goodbye to Lu Jianer.At that time, the carriage was already crowded, and Lu Jian'er passed between the two boys in front to the door, while Masako lowered her head and patted her forehead to wake herself up.

"Crack!"——

……

"Crack!"——

At this time, she heard the sound of a shutter that was close at hand, and she looked up. The boy in front of her seemed to be looking at the phone intently, but in fact pointed the camera at her, and took another photo when she met her gaze.

Another boy also used his mobile phone in the same way. Because the passengers were crowded, they were very close to Masako. Both of them were in their 20s, and they didn’t look like students. After they were discovered by Masako, they still kept their hands. She had to say : "Don't take pictures, okay?"

The people next to him looked this way, the boy took out the earphones from his trouser pocket and put them on, pretending to be nonchalant, but after the attention of the people around him dispersed, Masako heard the shutter sound of the mobile phone again.

She had no choice but to get up and leave this side. The crowd was crowded, and when she passed by a boy, she suddenly felt her uniform skirt being touched.She took a step back sensitively, the sudden incident made her have no time to think, and directly asked the boy: "What were you doing just now?"

This sentence once again attracted more people's attention. The boy probably didn't expect her to say it, and his expression became awkward. He gave his friend a look and explained anxiously to the people around him: "My girlfriend is here!"

Masako was stunned by this sentence, and quickly replied angrily: "Who is your girlfriend?"

"It's really his girlfriend!" The boy's friend also chimed in, his voice overshadowing Masako, when her hand was grabbed by the boy.

"Stop making trouble, it's ugly!"

He said, making a gesture to pull her off at the next stop.

It seems that these two people were there when Lu Jian'er got off the car, and now they are probably bullying her wantonly because they see that she is alone.Masako couldn't argue with anything, and the passengers in the car didn't know who to trust for a while.Realizing the seriousness of the situation, she felt extremely uneasy, and subconsciously wanted to hold her mobile phone. At this moment, the wrist that was grabbed by the boy was suddenly held by another hand.

The crowd was surging, Masako turned her head to look sideways, Yan Chen's appearance was always such a surprise.

The boy was wearing Yi An's uniform, with one hand in his trouser pocket, while holding Masako firmly, he looked at the two people arrogantly, and said, "How do I remember that her boyfriend isn't such a hooligan?"

The situation became clear immediately, and not far from Yanchen were all the boys who had just finished school in Yi An, and they were clamoring to come and watch from afar.Those two people quickly became street rats, knowing that they were weak, and as soon as they arrived at the station, they immediately slipped out with a "swoosh".

"Yan Chen, is this your new girlfriend?" The group of boys shouted from a distance, "Beautiful!"

Masako quickly broke away from Yan Chen's hand, he smiled, making people panic.Since she had already arrived at the station, she didn't want to spend more time with him, so after thanking him, she got out of the car.

But when he took a step forward, he noticed that Yan Chen was following him, and when he got to the platform, he also got off the bus.The subway started with a bang, and the cold wind poured into Masako's neck.Yan Chen was about to speak to her, but she immediately turned around and left.

"Hey!"

Yan Chen continued to follow with great interest. There were too many students around, no matter "Yi'an" or "Grey". She speeded up to avoid suspicion, but he was still firmly blocked by him at the exit gate.

"Hey, look at how weak you are, you dare to choke with two perverts by yourself, it's quite inconsistent."

He stood in the way while talking, and Masako was stopped by him from left to right, and finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said, "I thank you already."

"What's my cell phone number?"

She asked back, "What?"

Yan Chen quickly took out a marker pen from his pocket, grabbed her right hand again, and wrote down a series of numbers with two swipes.The action was too fast to stop, Masako threw away his hand immediately after he finished writing, and shouted angrily, "What are you doing?"

"I'll write it down once you forget it." Yan Chen leaned his head close to her while leaning on both ends of the ticket gate, "until you recite it."

2
Masako walked quickly, and Yan Chen also kept walking.

This is the territory of "Yi An", if he is not some provocative boy, it's fine, but he is also on the top of the waves. The girls around Yi An pass by frequently, and they are often attracted by this scene, and they can vaguely hear discussions.

She finally couldn't take it anymore, stopped in the wind, turned around and asked, "Why are you still following me after I've left the subway station?"

Yan Chen was not in a hurry to answer, he gave a "tsk" and raised his chin towards the opposite side of the road.

She saw that the two frustrated guys were still there, and when she realized that they were being noticed, she immediately looked away and pretended not to know her.

"You got off at the same stop as those two hooligans, didn't you imply that I'll come down with you to protect you or something?" He said irritably, Masako had no time to answer, and continued to move forward, and was asked where he was going again by Yan Chen.

"Buy hand sanitizer!"

Yan Chen grabbed her right hand, and there were many students looking at them, she frowned and broke away from him: "What are you doing..."

"I think you'd better recite it first, otherwise I'll let you wash until your skin peels off."

"Why should I turn my back on something useless to me?"

Hearing this, Yan Chen's eyes lit up, and he whistled: "You are quite hot."

"Please let me go, otherwise you are no different from those disgusting people."

"Is it true that only Duan Yousi is qualified to touch you in your world, huh? Little San?"

She withdrew her hand from Yan Chen's hand: "You are also with each other, Xiaosan."

Now he was more interested, and felt Masako's hot temper more, so he grabbed her by the elbow and said, "Hey, come and have a meal with me."

"What are you kidding?"

Yan Chen approached her suddenly, the tips of his noses almost touching: "Duan Yousi won't find out, Xiaosan also has freedom."

Both he and Duan Yousi described themselves as "duplicate", and he also said to Duan Yousi that "An Qiyan won't find out".Scenes of the past followed one after another, Masako was silent in the wind, and finally made up her mind to shake off Yan Chen's hand, turned around and scraped her right hand against the cleat of the mailbox, the stinging pain spread.

She bit her lip, and Yan Chen immediately pulled her hand back: "You ghost!"

"I'm not joking with you, and I don't want to flirt with you." She said, showing her bleeding palm in front of his eyes, "I really don't want to have anything to do with you, don't write on my hand next time Things! I can only use this method if I am in a hurry."

"Okay." To her surprise, Yan Chen was a tough guy, he was provoked by Masako, and pointed his index finger at her, "Let me tell you, I didn't feel it at first, but now that you are like this, I am more interested Go back and tell Duan Yousi, An Qiyan, I want it, you, I want it too!"

Every sentence poked people's hearts, and when the bus finally arrived, Masako pushed Yan Chen away with all her strength, turned around and got on the bus!
I didn't sleep well that night, went to school the next morning, just got off the bus, and saw Duan Yousi and Duan Yisha who also got off the bus at the school gate.

Her right hand was wrapped in gauze, he noticed as he closed the car door, her eyes seemed to squint, and she lowered her head to avoid his sight.

In the classroom, Duan Yisha arrived after Masako, and she was lowering her head to sort out her books at that time.Duan Yisha deliberately leaned down beside her table, propped her chin, and while playing with the eraser on her table, she yawned and said, "My brother asked how you hurt your hand, are you okay?"

"No." She replied.

Duan Yisha continued to yawn and straightened up, Masako called: "Yisha."

"Ok?"

"I want to see your brother."

Duan Yisha smiled and leaned down again, leaning her elbows on her desk, throwing the eraser down: "He probably hasn't arrived in the classroom yet."

After listening to it, she immediately got up and left the classroom. Yu Qi called her behind her. She ignored her and ran straight to the open-air corridor leading to the third grade. When she opened the door, she saw Duan Yousi walking halfway through the corridor.

"Yu..." The moment she shouted, she saw An Qiyan coming out from behind the door. Masako couldn't help but stop, her voice suddenly became hoarse, "Si..."

He heard it, and An Qiyan at the end also noticed it. He looked back and saw Masako standing there.

In the distance, An Qiyan kept watching with folded arms, the cold winter wind blowing from the open-air corridor, under such a depressing atmosphere, Masako stopped five steps away from him.He ignored the eyes behind him, looked at Masako quietly, and waited for her to speak.

Speechless, she then said softly, "Please inform Senior Sister Huangfu that there will be a small meeting at noon."

Discordant topics, in the silence between each other, he glanced at her hand, and she gently put it behind her.

"Yeah." He replied.

Masako turned and left, he was still behind, she just walked forward.

The distance from him is getting far away, eyes are covered by bangs, my right hand is aching, and I bite my lip tightly. Too speechless.

The noon meeting was organized by Masako for the first time. Members of the student union came to the meeting room one after another. Some folded their arms and shrugged not knowing what the new president would say, some discussed in a low voice, and some girls stared arrogantly with their foreheads. Still at An Qiyan's side.

Before everyone was ready, Masako sat on the chairman's seat and looked through what was to be said.

The meeting room was getting more and more noisy, she tapped the table with her index finger, the sound was quiet but crisp.When doing this, his eyes were still focused on the contents of the notes, and he looked calm and relaxed, as if it was not the first time he was the president.

The people around were undoubtedly shocked by this invisible aura, and became quiet one after another.When everyone finally arrived, she closed her notebook, looked around, and said straight to the point: "I want the school to reduce the time for make-up classes on weekends and winter and summer vacations."

The tone was very flat, but as soon as it fell, there was a lot of exclamation. Huangfu and his concubine drank tea and remained silent.

"Schools have always practiced remedial classes on weekends and winter and summer vacations. We only have to cooperate. How could you think of reducing it?" someone asked.

"I looked at the school's results in the past few years. When the make-up classes were not so intensive the year before last, the school's average score remained first in the district. Although it was still first in the year before last, because the average score of the whole district has dropped, it is in general. Regression. Make-up classes have become intensive since the previous year, but in the past few years, not only have the average score not been raised, but it has also fallen to the second place." Masako said here, looking at them, "I think the problem lies in the excessive academic pressure. .”

"This is something that the teaching director should worry about." The girl replied, "If we take the lead in raising the flag, aren't we meddling in our own business?"

"So I'm not canceling make-up classes, but reducing them."

"Who's going to tell?" The girl raised her chin and looked at Masako with deep meaning.

Who doesn't know the truth of shooting the top bird, the members of the student union agreed, Masako looked at the girl and replied, "Of course it's me."

The meeting room was silent, and she moved her notebook aside: "This meeting is to express my thoughts to everyone. I don't want to do things, and I don't want to do things arbitrarily, so I will discuss with you first. If I think it is feasible, I will report it to the school leaders. After all It’s also for the sake of the students.”

After finishing speaking, he leaned back on the chair, looked at the audience, and tapped his fingers on the armrest.

The president's aura was brought into full play, and they were startled that she was no longer the model student who didn't understand the rules. No matter how soft she spoke, she could easily get distracted, causing everyone to look at each other.

"I agree with this proposal." Concubine Huangfu took the lead in agreeing. She leisurely turned the chair and looked at the girls opposite who were still trying to make things difficult.

Seeing her, the group of girls had nothing to say, Yu Qi was the second to raise his hand, Wei Ru followed closely, and the others also raised their hands in agreement.

In this way, the result of the meeting was regarded as a success, and Masako nodded to Concubine Huangfu to express her gratitude.

After the meeting, people left one after another, and Masako wanted to stay to tidy up the meeting room, and even Wei Ru didn't let her accompany her, saying that she wanted to be quiet, so Wei Ru left in peace.

Tired, tired.

She propped up her forehead to settle her thoughts, and Huangfu and Concubine were the last to leave. Before leaving, she sent a text message on her mobile phone, then opened the door of the conference room, and walked out with a smile.

The meeting room was silent, and it was much better after staying like this for 10 minutes. She got up with a sigh and closed the curtains one by one.

The sky outside was gloomy, and it was probably going to rain. The conference room was darker than before after the curtains were all drawn. After everything was packed, she picked up her things and walked towards the door.

Originally, she planned to go back alone like this, and continue to endure the loneliness that could not be explained by herself, but when she reached the door, she stopped, and when she saw Duan Yousi leaning on the door frame, her heart thumped.

The person he was thinking of suddenly appeared in front of him, and he didn't know when he arrived. Masako retreated in confusion, while he stepped forward, and the door behind him was also slammed shut with his backhand.

The room was dark, and her footsteps were flustered. Masako's lower back reached the edge of the table and let out an exclamation.He gave her a hand to steady her.

"What do you want to say in the morning?" He asked, his right hand was also held in the palm of his hand, but Masako was disturbed by the sudden breath, her heart was pounding, she couldn't speak for a moment, she just looked at him in the dark.

"What do you want to say?" He asked again, stroking her bangs behind her ears with his fingers.

After finally confirming that it was really him, Masako lowered her head and took a deep breath. She wanted to say a lot, but she couldn't say a word. In the end, she only said three words: "I yesterday..."

"Yeah." He was listening.

"I yesterday..." Repeated twice but still couldn't say it, the bitterness in her heart spread to her eyes, she looked up at him.

"Aggrieved?"

Being poked at the sore spot by these four words, Masako swallowed bitterly, and when she was about to speak, she heard the school announcement——

"Student Mo Yazi from class [-], grade [-], please report to the principal's office after hearing the broadcast, repeat, student Mo Yazi from class [-], grade [-], please report to the principal's office after hearing the broadcast..."

Unable to continue, Masako took her right hand out of his hand and said softly, "I'll go to the principal's office first..."

He looked at her.
