Chapter 11 My Secret

 "Can't remember the lyrics."

"Then we won't sing lyrics."

Tao Xinyi nodded, hummed a melodious melody, and occasionally sang a few words. The breeze stirred up the girl's hair. After the song ended, she said, "Lu Ming, it's okay to stand for a long time. It's just that my legs are a little sore."

"You just don't like sports, so I don't feel anything."

As he spoke, Lu Ming clenched his fists and showed off his biceps, and then the two of them were silent and just listened to each other's breathing quietly and waited for the time to pass.

Standing outside the classroom during class was particularly conspicuous, not to mention that the person who was punished for standing was Tao Xinyi, a well-known good student. Every teacher who came and went would look at them.

Wang Ying was holding a thermos cup and was about to go to the bathroom to pour tea. She wanted to go to Class 3 to see how everyone was doing, but she saw Tao Xinyi and Lu Ming standing outside.

"Hey, why is little darling forced to stand?" Wang Ying crossed her arms and looked at Tao Xinyi with interest. Because Tao Xinyi was very obedient to the teachers, she would occasionally call her darling when the teachers were out of class.

"I'm afraid of insects, so Lu Ming helped me fight spiders and get on the podium. When Teacher Zhou saw it, he got angry, so we came out and made him stand."

Tao Xinyi looked a little embarrassed and reached out to poke Lu Ming's waist quietly.

It was a little itchy, Lu Ming pursed his lips and struggled to hold back laughter, and said: "Teacher Wang, how about you go and say a nice word to us and let us go in and sit and study?"

"No, you stand up with Xiao Guai. She almost never makes mistakes, and the rare mistakes are part of life experience. In this way, Xiao Guai, you stand up first, and Lu Ming goes to help me wash a tea cup and then get a glass of water."

"I have to go back and grade papers."

Then, Lu Ming took the cup Wang Ying handed her, and honestly went to wash the cup and fill it with hot water for her, feeling like he was filling the bottle for a leader.

Lu Ming held a water glass, stood in front of the class teacher's office and said: "Report."

"Come in." Wang Ying sat in the innermost seat, without raising her head, just waving towards the door.

There are twelve positions in the head teacher's office, but only one teacher, Wang Ying, is there. The other teachers probably have classes, and their desks are filled with test papers and exercise books, as well as ranking tables one after another.

Near the window, there is also a big clock and a banner counting down to the college entrance examination: "There are still two hundred and thirty-four days until the college entrance examination."

"Currently, there are still 234 days until the college entrance examination."

Wang Ying tentatively tested the water temperature with her lips. It was just right, so she took a sip and continued: "This banner will be hung in our class and every class when the college entrance examination is only a hundred days away.

On the blackboard."

"But this banner will be hung in our class teacher's office one year before the college entrance examination. In fact, our teachers are burdened with responsibilities and are inevitably agitated. The way we handle some things is difficult to perfect. Sorry."

"Be like a boy and don't take it to heart."

Lu Ming looked at the red banner, recalled the 100-day swearing-in meeting in his previous life, recalled the crazy sprint in the last three months, and said: "Thank you."

Seeing that Lu Ming's attitude softened, Wang Ying continued: "In the third year of high school, the teacher does not want students in the class who are in love. If you have any feelings, don't rush for a while, and you must be able to endure loneliness."

"Do you suspect that Tao Xinyi and I are in love?"

"You may not have started, but there are signs. If you start falling in love, Tao Xinyi's grades will definitely fluctuate violently." Wang Ying pursed her lips and stared at Lu Ming seriously.

In her mind, Lu Ming, who has mediocre grades, is far less important than Tao Xinyi, who has average grades. Talking about this topic with Lu Ming may affect his grades, but it is the lesser of the two evils.

Among them, Lu Ming also understood. He had to admit that Wang Ying was right. The most dangerous thing about Tao Xinyi was her perfection, which was so perfect that she could not withstand setbacks.

When you are in love, it is inevitable to quarrel. Tao Xinyi's mood swings are too violent and dangerous.

"Thank you for reminding me, I'll remember it." Lu Ming nodded helplessly and continued: "Nothing, I'll just go back and stand for a while."

"If you have any signs of going further, I will adjust your seats." Wang Ying really had no trust in Lu Ming and looked at him with a hint of threat.

Lu Ming didn't say anything, nodded slightly and left the office. When he walked near Class 3, he met Tao Xinyi's eyes and stood beside her with a distance of two palms.

"Why have you been gone for so long? What did Teacher Wang tell you?"

"Nothing."

"Can you tell me without lying to me?"

"Xiao Guai, if I told you, I would have to lie to you." Lu Ming couldn't help but imitate the teacher and called her "Xiao Guai", which sounded different from "eldest lady".

Hearing Lu Ming address her, Tao Xinyi looked confused, stepped on him lightly and said, "You can't call me little boy."

"Why are you forced to stand today, little darling?" Lu Ming imitated Wang Ying's tone, pretending to be relaxed, trying to change the topic.

Tao Xinyi's emotions were easily aroused. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say, so she turned her head and ignored him.

After returning from rebirth, Tao Xinyi became angry so many times. For the first time, Lu Ming did not want to comfort her emotions. The two of them stood at a distance of not too close and not too far.

In less than twenty minutes, with the blessing of the generator, the lights in the classroom came on. Zhou Wenwen walked to the door of the classroom, looked at the two of them standing quite honestly, and said: "Come in."

"There are about ten minutes left, and we can still play a few rounds of drumming and passing flowers. Let's do this, Lu Ming knocks on the blackboard, and Tao Xinyi shouts stop."

Lu Ming stood on the podium with his back to his classmates, clenching his fist and tapping the blackboard. Tao Xinyi closed her eyes, estimated the time, and casually shouted "stop".

The "empty mineral water bottle" used as a drum to pass the flowers among the flowers was passed around by the last few classmates. No one wanted to take it, and it was actually passed to Li Xingzhou.

He looked at Tao Xinyi beside the podium, showed a hearty smile, and said: "You were singing outside the classroom just now, come on!"

Then, Li Xingzhou threw the empty mineral water bottle at Tao Xinyi and hit her on the head, making her shrink back in fear.

Lu Ming frowned, stepped forward, caught the empty mineral water bottle, lowered his head and motioned for Tao Xinyi to return to her seat.

"Just let me sing. I just happened to give you a spider-catching performance today and then a singing performance. Good things come in pairs."

Without giving his classmates a chance to make noise, or giving Li Xingzhou a chance to refute, Lu Ming quickly searched for a song from his memory and sang it.

Perhaps because of the tight time, perhaps because of the banners in the office, or perhaps because of the dark circles under the eyes of his classmates, Lu Ming could only think of "The Lonely Warrior".

"Everyone is brave."

"The wound on your forehead, yours, is different, the mistake you made."

"No need to hide it."

"Your old doll, your mask, your self."

……

The inspirational lyrics and Lu Ming's slightly off-key singing were perfectly combined, and everyone in the audience was stunned.
