Chapter 436: Love Begins and Gets to Know Each Other

Final exams are over and winter break begins.

Winter vacation is over and the new semester begins.

After the school started, everyone sat down according to the seats from the previous semester. Xu Ying felt that he would soon say goodbye in harmony, and it was reasonable that the seats would be adjusted again in the current semester, because there was no necessary reason for the first and second place students to sit together.

Xu Yingze has been Mu's deskmate for two months and has found some secrets to getting along with Mu: As long as I don't provoke him, he will always be friendly to me. It's okay to provoke him occasionally, he will be cold for a while, and then gradually regain his enthusiasm.

There are many ways to quickly restore his enthusiasm, such as buying him a bottle of water, the most ordinary mineral water will do, if it is refrigerated, it will be even better. In addition, there is a cheaper and simpler way, that is, when he wants to return to his seat, stand up in advance and make room for him.

This time, the seat reshuffle came later than in the past. Half a month had passed since the start of the school year, and the teacher had not yet rearranged the seats. Was the seat reshuffle going to be after the midterm exam? Xu Yingze's heart became more and more anxious as she waited. She was a little reluctant to leave this very polite, courteous, and easy-to-talk-to classmate.

One day, Xu Yingze saw Mu quarreling with someone. The person quarreling peacefully was another boy, who seemed to be a good friend of Xu Yingze. The quarrel was caused by Mu lending a storybook to that person. A week had passed, and the book should have been finished long ago. Mu went to the person to ask for the book back, but the person said that he had lent it to someone else. When he asked specifically who he had lent it to, he said "I don't remember", "I forgot", "I don't know". Under Mu's repeated urging, he finally changed his words and said "I'll ask for you again" and "Wait a few more days", but the previous agreement to return the book after a week became empty words.

Xu Yingze didn't believe what the man said. If he didn't know, why didn't he say it earlier? Why did he say he didn't remember first, and then he said he didn't know? Even if he really didn't remember, really didn't know, the classroom area is limited, and the number of people in the classroom is also limited. If he didn't want to ask everyone one by one, he only needed to stand on the podium and ask directly to get the answer. Even if the book was not in the classroom, at least he could find out who borrowed it to another class.

The man didn't know that what he said was a lie, but De Mu didn't seem to understand this. If he understood, he wouldn't have quarreled with him. Should I tell him that the man was lying? In fact, even if I told him, he couldn't find her book, because with his personality, he would never look through other people's desks.

Then I will help him do what he doesn't want to do, right? But, looking through other people's desks is wrong. He doesn't want to do it, and I don't want to do it either.

Xu Yingze hesitated for a long time. She watched the two people quarreling and leaving the classroom. Then she made up her mind, walked to the man's desk, bent down, took a few glances, and took out the storybook.

Based on the style and number of cotton-padded jackets that Mu wears in winter and the number of stationery in his pencil case, we can roughly infer that his family conditions are not very good.

I have never seen him buy books before. This time, he must have used his lucky money. If this book, which is priced at 39.8 yuan, is lost for no reason, he will be very distressed. I helped him get this book back. Even if I provoke him a dozen times in this half semester, he probably won't be angry with me.

Xu Ying walked out of the classroom with the storybook and shouted to Mu, "I found your book. Li Qiu, apologize to him. I found this book in your desk."

Mu saw his book and ran to Xu Yunze happily: "Thank you, thank you."

Xu Ying handed him the book and said, "You're welcome. Don't you want to hear his apology?"

"No, his apology is fake. I won't lend him the book anymore." Mu took the book and held it tightly. His tone was light, but his heart was heavy. His true feelings were far from what his voice showed. From then on, that person was no longer his friend.

"Yep."

"Thank you." After thanking him this time, Mu Zhengguang felt a little relieved. There was no point in being friends with someone who betrayed his friends. It was an honor to be friends with Xu Yingze.

"Do I need to thank you twice?"

"The first time, you helped me find the book, and the second time, you took the initiative to help me."

"Oh."

About a month after school started, the teacher rearranged the seats, and Xuyinze and Mu were still sitting at the same table.

As winter turned to spring, Xu Ying stopped wearing cotton-padded jackets and replaced them with long-sleeved coats and sweatshirts. Then, when the midterm exam came, she changed into short-sleeved clothes. Mu gradually realized that he was not impressed by Xu's short-sleeved T-shirts, but liked the way he looked in short-sleeved T-shirts more. His hands and arms exuded an indescribable charm, which made him admire him involuntarily.

It rains a lot in the summer. One afternoon, it rained heavily. The sound of the rain was loud and never stopped.

Dark clouds covered the sky, and the rain blocked the sunlight. The lights in the classroom were on, but outside the window, it was dark.

"It's like taking a night class."

"Evening self-study?" It was the first time Xu Yingze heard the term evening self-study. The meaning of this term was easy to understand, which was a self-study class in the evening.

As for the meaning of self-study class, he is already very familiar with it. There is no self-study class in the curriculum, but when the English teacher comes, he often says that this class is for self-study. Sometimes when the weather is bad, the physical education teacher will also say that this class is for self-study.

Even so, Xu Ying was still surprised, not because of the unfamiliar word, but because Mu said this word.

"Yes, there are evening self-study classes in junior high school."

"Oh."

After class, the wind and rain outside the window became a little lighter.

"Mu, let's go outside and see the scenery."

Mu didn't think the scenery outside was that good. If it wasn't raining, he could see farmland and ponds in the distance, and even mountains farther away, but it was raining heavily today, and it was all gray and gloomy, so he couldn't see too far. It would be boring to only see the rain.

The scenery is not beautiful, but Xu Yunze’s invitation is irresistible.

"it is good."

The dark clouds dispersed, and the sky was much brighter than the last class. People sitting in the classroom no longer felt like they were in a late-night study session. Xu Yingze suddenly felt a little disappointed: If I had called Mu out to see the scenery after the last class, we would have seen both the day and the "night".

Xu Yingze turned his head and his eyes fell on Mu's arm. In the dim sunlight, his skin looked very white and seemed to be glowing. If you look closely, you can see faint blue blood vessels.

It doesn’t matter if you missed the “night” this time. When you go to junior high school in the future, you will often have evening self-study and see the night often. You don’t need to wait for dark clouds and heavy rain.

Mu secretly watched Xu Yingze with his peripheral vision, feeling happy in his heart, but his face showed no expression: Xu Yingze can stare at my arm, but I can't stare at his arm, it's too rude. Besides, if I stare at him, I can't help but want to laugh.

The bell rang for class, and the two people standing in the corridor walked back to the classroom slowly.

What happened on this rainy day made Cui Yunqing quite excited.

The relationship between these two people should be close enough. Although they met three years later than in the real world, their friendship has not lagged behind at all. When they are in the fifth grade, there will be more interesting things happening in both the real world and the world of regret. Aren't interesting things regretful?
