Summer Lemon Hearts

Chapter 9
"Squad leader, are you alright?" Le Xiaoxiao didn't look away from Gu Yan's back until I approached.

Seeing me looking at her, she smiled a little shyly.There is faint worry hidden in the eyes, and there are some things that I can't see clearly.

"Do I look like I have something to do?" I shrugged and smiled, and fixed my eyes on her. "It seems that you are the one who has something to do, right? Little girl, you seem to be preoccupied..."

"I don't know what to say..." Le Xiaoxiao lowered her head and kept tugging at the corners of her clothes with her fingers, with a tangled and confused look, "Since I was a child, I thought that liking someone means that no matter what he does I will tolerate and accept him unconditionally. But... the moment he started to distrust me, I found myself still sad."

Le Xiaoxiao didn't say that name, but we all know that the person she was referring to was Hetu.

The moment that made her sad was the moment when she devoted herself to protecting Hetu during the picnic that day, and would rather be misunderstood than tell the truth, but Hetu misunderstood her because of this and did not trust her.

At that time, seeing how determined her attitude was, I thought she wouldn't care.Unexpectedly, this heartless little girl was still injured because of this.

"Regret?" I sighed, asking a question I already knew the answer to.

"No, I've never regretted it!" Le Xiaoxiao shook her head, her expression was confused, but her eyes were extremely firm, "It's just... just now after seeing the unwavering trust of the president in you, I feel like there is something in my heart. It is collapsing, and it seems that something is slowly taking root..."

Speaking of this, Le Xiaoxiao suddenly paused, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, monitor, I heard your conversation just now."

"Fool, there's nothing to be sorry about." I twisted the tip of her nose and said with a smile, "I don't tell everyone my background, not because I'm afraid people will know that I'm a child from an orphanage. On the contrary, I'm proud of it Proud to be with those children in the orphanage!"

"But monitor, why don't you tell them the truth of the matter?" Le Xiaoxiao nodded, seeming to understand something, and seemed even more confused, "Why don't you let them know that the reason why you are working so hard to make money is because For the children of these orphanages, and not as greedy as they think?"

Why not?

People who know the truth are asking me this question, but I have been reluctant to answer it.

But actually, it's really simple.

"Girl, people always do something and don't do something in their life." I sighed, lowered my eyes and smiled, "Just like you would rather be misunderstood than tell Hetu's secret to hurt him. I also don't want the children in the orphanage to be pitied, discriminated against, or even used. I just... want to protect them with my own strength."

Even if this power is so insignificant, I am still willing to do my best to protect the person I want to protect!
"Master Squad Leader, why do I not understand what you said?" Le Xiaoxiao blinked her big beautiful eyes, tilted her head and asked me in confusion.

I smiled and didn't explain.

Le Xiaoxiao didn't ask any further questions, but still looked at me with her clean and bright eyes, and said firmly: "Sir, I know there are some things I don't understand. But it doesn't matter, I will follow you in the future, use Use your own strength to protect those children and help them do what you can. Is it possible?"

"Of course!" I nodded, smiling brighter than the gorgeous sunset glow in the sky, "Warmly welcome."

I don't know what method Gu Yan used, but I know that he used his method to successfully protect me.

In class the next day, no one mentioned what happened yesterday, as if what happened yesterday never happened.They still greeted me enthusiastically and called me the squad leader.

But my classmate Hetu at the same table still seemed a little awkward.Seeing his expression of bitterness and hatred, as if I had a vengeance with him for killing my father, I couldn't help but smile.

I walked back to my seat and patted Hetu on the shoulder: "Hello, at the same table."

"Squad leader, what advice do you have?" Hetu squinted at me, biting the word "squad leader" especially hard, and I could even hear his unabashed sarcasm.

"They all said that I abused my power. In order not to let my classmates bear the reputation of being framed, I decided to be charged with real crimes today and use my authority as the monitor to do something that you and I would like to see happen." I leaned closer He has an extremely serious expression, but there is a cunning light in his eyes.

"Huh?" Hetu raised his eyebrows with a calm expression.

I curled my lips in frustration, and lost my interest in teasing him in an instant: "Hey, I said classmate Hetu, today we happily ended our first tablemate relationship, how about being promoted to each other's former tablemate?"

"You..." Hetu's eyes lit up, and he immediately asked with a wary face, "Hey, Ye Suisui, what tricks are you playing again?"

How strange, I kindly let him go, but he suspects me instead!

I rolled my eyes in disdain, and said straight to the point: "Isn't I speaking Chinese? Student Hetu, don't you understand? Or do you want to continue to be at the same table with me in the future?"

Hetu looked at me up and down, left and right for a long time, as if he couldn't believe that the sky would fall, and Ye Suisui would let Hetu go.After a while, he said with a "die or die" expression: "Since the squad leader has spoken, how dare I refuse to obey."

"Then it's such a happy decision." Under Hetu's half-believing eyes, I moved my seat to the unoccupied seat at the back neatly, and then watched with satisfaction the strong gossip atmosphere in the class and Hetu's look. His expression was as greasy as swallowing a whole fly, and his heart was as cool and joyful as eating mint ice in hot summer.

After the students in the class confirmed that Hetu and I were really our ex-students, they finally started to move, especially the girls who usually admire Hetu couldn't hold back, and wanted to become Hetu's after me. The second deskmate.

Hetu also seems to have discovered this not-so-beautiful sequelae.

He straightened his face and put on a posture of "stay away from strangers".That air-conditioned appearance makes people who don't know him think that he is still brooding over being "abandoned" by me!
The girls were all frightened by the low air pressure in Hetu, only Le Xiaoxiao stood up indifferently.For a moment, the classroom was full of sighs, and everyone was waiting for the good show to be staged.

Everyone knows Le Xiaoxiao's determination to win Hetu, and everyone understands Hetu's helplessness and headache for Le Xiaoxiao.This chase was staged again because of my actions.

This time, who will have the last laugh?
I think everyone in Class One (1) of senior high school must be happy to see it, and everyone is looking forward to it very much.

He Tu was obviously aware of the serious consequences, so he gave me a hard look.Thinking with my toes, I can also guess what he is thinking now.

This damned Ye Suisui didn't take advantage of Le Xiaoxiao again to give up his seat so happily and sell me!
I didn't bother to talk to him, I just looked at Le Xiaoxiao quietly, somewhat curious about her next move.

"Squad leader..." I saw Le Xiaoxiao walk out of the seat and came to Hetu who was sitting stiffly, then passed him indifferently without even looking at him, and jumped up to me with a smile on her face. She looked at me flatteringly with an extremely cute expression, "I see that the seat next to you is empty..."

"So?" I looked at the cute girl in front of me with some amusement, and felt a little relieved in my heart-this little girl seemed to really start to change slowly.

"So, can I be your tablemate?" Le Xiaoxiao blinked her beautiful big eyes that could kill everything instantly, her smile was as sweet as delicious chocolate.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll sell you?" I twisted the tip of her nose, defeated by her smile.

"I'm not afraid! I'm willing to sell it." Seeing my acquiescence, Le Xiaoxiao was so happy that she almost jumped up.

"Then what are you waiting for?" I shrugged and smiled, "Welcome to be my new deskmate, Le Xiaoxiao. I hope my second deskmate can accompany me through the three years of high school study happily."

"That's a must!" Le Xiaoxiao bounced back to her seat and went to move her schoolbag.When she passed by Hetu, I could clearly see the slight disappointment flashing across Hetu's relieved face.

This guy must be wondering why Le Xiaoxiao doesn't cling to him, right?

People are like this, when you cling to him, he hates you and resents you; when you ignore him, he starts to feel lost again and feels unaccustomed.

But no one will always follow you unconditionally, will you?
I made a provocative face at Hetu.

As if sensing my gaze, Hetu turned around, just in time to meet the expression I had no time to retract.His face became more and more difficult to look at.

He glared at me bitterly, as if he was saying: You guy, what kind of "ecstasy drug" did you give Le Xiaoxiao?

My classmate Le Xiaoxiao and I live very harmoniously at the same table. I have benefited a lot from her quick learning thinking and inquisitive learning attitude.She and I often argue over the most concise answer to a question, and we smile tacitly at each other after we get the correct answer.

The focus of Le Xiaoxiao's life has gradually shifted away from Hetu, and Hetu and I are also in harmony with each other, and we live in peace.So during this period of time, I lived quite comfortably.

This state continued until the day of Jincheng School's school-wide performance.

Jincheng School's good learning atmosphere and advanced autonomous management model have always been a model for Jincheng's education circle.Although the success of Jincheng School cannot be replicated, in order to promote and carry forward the good learning experience, the superior leaders decided to organize all brother schools in the city to visit Jincheng School.

In order to welcome this grand ceremony, which is half review and half visit, all the teachers and students of Jincheng School have tried their best to prepare for this whole school performance.

Of course, our high school (1) class is no exception.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

The school has issued a death order, and no class can make any mistakes for any reason.All of a sudden, all the teachers and students of Jincheng School entered the first level of combat readiness, just to complete a perfect performance.

The show is about to begin, but at this time, something went wrong in our class.

"Squad leader, it's not good, something happened." I was instructing the students to enter the arena in order, and a girl who was participating in the performance in the class rushed towards me panting, "Sun Jialin locked herself in the dormitory and refused Out."

"What's going on?" I frowned subconsciously, and my heart sank suddenly, "Didn't she be fine yesterday?"

Sun Jialin is the conductor of our class's performance and also the art committee member of the class.Her actions are directly related to the success of the high school (1) class performance.

How could she have a problem at this time?
"I don't know either." The girl shook her head and said, "There was something wrong with her after her evening self-study last night. She didn't even eat breakfast this morning. When I went to call her just now, she simply locked herself in the dormitory We couldn't get in, and she refused to come out. No matter what we said, she just refused to explain the reason, and just kept crying."

"I see." I ordered the deputy squad leader Zou Wei to maintain the class's admission, while striding towards the girls' dormitory. "Come on, let's take a look."

"This Sun Jialin, at this time, actually gave birth to such a moth. What should I do now?" Seeing this, Zou Wei stomped his feet, gently tugged at my sleeve, and said anxiously, "Suisui, are you really sure about persuading Sun Jialin? You see, the show is about to start, and we don't have much time. If something happens, we can't bear the responsibility..."

After all, Zou Wei paused, and said with some hesitation: "Why don't you persuade Sun Jialin and I'll inform the teacher, what do you think?"

Zou Wei has always had a good relationship with me, and he is also one of the class committee members.At this time, I fully understand her way of dealing with the problem, and I also know that it is a sensible choice for her to do so.

But... once this matter gets to the teacher, the matter will inevitably become serious, and Sun Jialin will definitely be punished by the school.Such a result is also what I don't want to see.

I only pondered for less than 10 seconds, and immediately rejected Zou Wei's proposal.

I patted Zou Wei's hand and said confidently, "Weiwei, trust me, give me a little time."

Zou Wei obviously understood my concerns.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally agreed with my decision.

"Suisui, hurry up, I believe in you!"

"You believe her, but I don't believe her!" I turned to leave, but Cheng Yibao's sharp voice came from behind, "Ye Suisui, do you really take yourself seriously? Whether it is successfully completed or not is related to the collective honor and disgrace of Class One (1). It is not up to you to do it arbitrarily! Let me ask you, if the show cannot go smoothly, will you be solely responsible for it?"

Cheng Yibao's words were sonorous and aggressive, which immediately attracted the attention of the surrounding students.

In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on me.

I seem to feel an invisible pressure blowing on my face.

"Ye Suisui, you have to think clearly, tell the teacher now, we have to come up with a compensation plan again, everything is still in time. Otherwise, you, Ye Suisui, will have to bear all the responsibilities by yourself!" A sarcasm bloomed from the corner of his mouth. Laughing, Cheng Yibao said word by word, "Ye Suisui, the honor of Class One (1) is not for you as a favor!"

"Favour?" I laughed instead of anger, "Cheng Yibao, why do you think this is your so-called favor? You keep talking about collective honor, but don't forget that Sun Jialin is also a member of our senior one (1) class. Gao Class One (1) is composed of 38 students in the whole class. No matter which one is missing, it is incomplete. Now that something happened to Sun Jialin, we should find a way to help her instead of abandoning her. Don’t you say The collective honor and disgrace is to push your classmates to take responsibility, but you refuse to do it at all?"

I raised my eyes and glanced at her quietly, my eyes were filled with undisguised disdain.

"Also, Cheng Yibao, what is your so-called remedy? Replace Sun Jialin and let you take the lead, right? This will not only make the performance of Class 1 (1) of senior high school complete successfully, but also make you Cheng Yibao a success. It really is the best of both worlds." The best way! But Cheng Yibao, let me tell you, sacrificing the honor of classmates in this way is not uncommon in Class One ([-]) of Senior High School!"

Cheng Yibao was originally one of the contenders for conducting the show, but he lost to Sun Jialin in the final and could only be reduced to a substitute deputy conductor.

If Sun Jialin couldn't participate in the performance, the position of conductor would naturally fall on Cheng Yibao.

I know that Cheng Yibao has always been unconvinced when he lost to Sun Jialin, who is quite talented in command.Now that she finally had the chance, it was expected that she would do so.

However, it is not our style to give up our classmates for our own selfishness.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Ye Suisui, don't spout blood. I'm just thinking about the collective honor of Class 1 ([-]) of Senior High!" Cheng Yibao's expression suddenly became a little unnatural when I said something out of his mind.

But after a while, her expression returned to normal.

"I don't want to hear all the big truths you said. I just want to know, are you solely responsible for what happened?"

"I..." I really want to tell Cheng Yibao without hesitation, I will be responsible!But at this moment, I'm really not 100% sure that I can persuade Sun Jialin to turn the situation around.

The reason why I persist is that I don't want to give up a classmate without making any efforts.But Zou Wei and even Cheng Yibao are right. This matter is a big one, and I, Ye Suisui, cannot bear the responsibility.

For a while, I hesitated, not knowing whether it was right or wrong for me to do so.

just in case……

I shook my head, afraid to think about the terrible result.
