The sky was overcast, and the thunder came one after another. The sky was always so cloudy and sunny in midsummer. When the heat wave passed, after a while, heavy rain poured down like the Milky Way.
The lights in the teaching building were brightly lit, and at a few minutes past ten o'clock, students were coming out one after another to study by themselves in the evening.
Li You held an umbrella and stood downstairs looking around for a long time but did not see Pei Jingzhou coming out. She was a little anxious. When she saw a classmate of Pei Jingzhou, she immediately stopped him and asked, "Is Pei Jingzhou coming out?"
That classmate knew Li You mainly because she appeared around Pei Jingzhou too many times, and she gradually became familiar with her.
A classmate told Li You: "Pei Jingzhou didn't come to study tonight. He asked for leave."
Li You's face suddenly fell: "Did he ask for leave?"
The classmate nodded: "Yes."
Seeing Li You's disappointed expression, he asked again: "You are always with him, don't you know that he is taking leave this afternoon?"
Li You was about to shake his head.
Seeing the curious expressions on the faces of the classmates in front of her, she said in a low voice: "I know, but I forgot. Thank you."
"You're welcome."
The classmates' voices came from far away from behind. Li You held an umbrella and ran toward the school gate, grabbing his schoolbag.
She ran so fast that the water under her feet splashed heavily on her ankles, staining her socks and the ugly shoe uppers.
But she didn't care.
No matter how bad it is, it's not as bad as the mood I'm in right now.
Li Huaisheng's car had been parked on the side of the road for a long time. When his daughter finally came out, he turned on the double flashlights as soon as possible.
Li You sulked and walked quickly towards his father's car. After getting in the car, Li Huaisheng could tell at a glance that his daughter was not in a good mood and asked, "Too many papers today?"
Li You said nothing.
Li Huaisheng suddenly realized: "Why did you come out alone today?"
Li You raised his eyes: "I'm afraid half a person will scare you."
Li Huaisheng: "..."
The car was driving slowly on the road, and the rain was still heavy, washing the car body, and the front wiper was almost smoking.
Returning to Li Mansion in Qiangyue Garden, Li You saw her mother still sitting on the sofa waiting for her, and her hurried steps to go upstairs immediately stopped.
Mo Zhu stood up and came over, carefully checking whether her daughter was wet. After confirming that everything was dry, she felt relieved: "Here, have a bowl of ginger soup."
Li You:?
Didn't she get wet?
Why do you still need to drink ginger soup?
Li Huaisheng came from behind: "Before I went out to pick you up, your mother was making ginger soup. I was afraid that you would get wet in the rain. If you didn't get wet, I would still be doing my job. It would be good to drink a bowl to drive away the cold."
Li You responded dully: "Oh."
The smell of ginger soup is offensive to the nose. Li You has never liked this taste. After drinking, the smell will stay in the throat for a long time.
However, it has been raining today. Ginger soup can dispel the cold and prevent colds. In short, it is a good thing.
After she drank the ginger soup, she hurried upstairs with her schoolbag in her arms.
Mo Zhu saw that her daughter's mood was not quite the same as before, so she turned around and saw Li Huaisheng looking at her with a smile.
Mo Zhu couldn't help laughing: "Why are you laughing?"
Li Huaisheng came over and said, "I'm happy."
"What are you happy about?"
"A certain boy ignores my daughter. Isn't this a good thing?"
Mo Zhu took the bowl of Saili Huaisheng into his hands, turned around and walked inside: "You're too early to laugh."
Li Huaisheng caught the bowl and followed Mo Zhu: "I don't think so. Xiaoyou cares about his self-esteem the most. After being left out like this, he will definitely not interact with him in the future, so that Xiaoyou can concentrate on studying."
"I told you that you laughed too early, but you still don't believe me. Just wait and see." Mo Zhu knew everything in his mind. After all, he was someone who had been there before. How could he not understand?
Li Huaisheng thought to himself: Is it impossible?
The boy surnamed Pei is very proud, and his family's Xiaoyou has a very strong self-esteem. If neither party gives in, they will definitely stop interacting with each other this time.
What's more, the feelings in adolescence are all temporary love, which is far from the unforgettable love between adults.
-
After that night, Li You stayed in the classroom after class and did not go anywhere. In order to avoid running into Pei Jingzhou, she found a reason to ask for leave from the teacher and did not attend evening self-study for more than a week.
But she took stacks of papers home and did them, and she didn't miss any of her homework.
Finally, on this day of worship, Li You went to attend the eighteenth birthday party that his aunt had chosen to host for his cousin on Sunday.
The cousin's name is Qin Chu, she is Qin Zhuoning's biological sister. She is two years older than Li You. She is in the same class as Pei Jingzhou and will graduate from the college entrance examination this summer.
Qin Chu was very popular in the class and invited many classmates to attend this make-up birthday party. As the elder brother, Qin Zhuoning also invited a few friends to his sister.
Among these friends is Pei Jingzhou.
Li You didn't know that Pei Jingzhou was here at first. She stayed in Qin Chu's room, bored and watching Qin Chu try on small dresses.
Every time Qin Chu tried on something, he would go to Li You and ask her: "How do you like this one?"
The small dresses worn at this age should not be too revealing, but should combine fashion with just the right amount of elegance, so most of the dresses are small gauze skirts, which are very fairy-like.
Li You admired it carefully and said, "It looks great on you."
After a few minutes...
"Where's this one?"
Qin Chu quickly changed into another one, turned around in front of Li You, and showed off the skirt on his body.
Li You held his chin and replied seriously: "This color suits you too, it's very fresh."
A few more minutes passed...
"And this one, how does it compare with the two pieces just now?"
Li You changed his hand to support his chin: "They all look good."
Qin Chu smiled: "I knew you would say that."
Li You also laughed, and when Qin Chu went to change into a small dress, she looked out the window in a daze.
What's going on? She's being petty and doesn't look for Pei Jingzhou. Pei Jingzhou seems to pretend that she doesn't exist and doesn't take the initiative to look for her.
Thinking of this, Li You raised his hand and counted with his fingers: "1, 2, 3, 4, 5... I haven't seen each other for sixteen days."
I didn’t know if I didn’t count it, but I was shocked when I counted it. She and Pei Jingzhou hadn’t seen each other for sixteen days!!
Is she so unimportant?
The more he thought about it, the more he became distressed. Li You sighed with a frustrated look on his face: "Eh..."
Qin Chu, who had changed into a dress and came out, happened to hear Li You sigh. She walked over and asked with a smile: "Okay, what are you sighing about?"
Li You immediately regained his composure and turned to look at Qin Chu.
When she looked over, her eyes suddenly fixed on Qin Chu.
The light blue long skirt has gauze covering the skirt, which looks very layered. The cuffs are lantern-shaped gauze, and the waist is dotted with a thin layer of sequins.
Li You praised: "This one is so beautiful."
Qin Chu walked around in front of Li You: "Really?"
Li You nodded: "This one is more beautiful than the ones just now, and it suits you better."
"Then wear this one. He should also like me wearing this one." When Qin Chu said this, his face was full of yearning and expectation.
Adolescent girls have many fantastic imaginations and unrealistic expectations.
But for Qin Chu, at this moment, he was indeed filled with sincere yearning and full of expectations.
Li You was a little envious of Qin Chu.
As for her current lukewarm relationship with Pei Jingzhou, I don't know if she will still have yearnings and expectations when she comes of age.
