Xiao Yao never believed that he would be liked by girls.

He especially couldn't believe that "the person he liked happened to like him too", which was like winning the lottery.

It's not just a matter of low self-esteem, it's just that I'm used to being rejected.

"Please," Xiao Xiong and Xiao Yao lay on the railing of the corridor together during recess on Thursday morning: "You are only a freshman in high school, how many times can you be rejected? Don't tell me that you are the kind of person who chases all the girls in the class. God?"

"That's not that exaggerated..." Xiao Yao looked at the nearby pigeon meditating on the treetop: "The people I have liked include one in fifth grade, one in junior high school, plus three Yu Luying, and Shen Jie is the third Four?”

Xiao Xiong opened his mouth to say something, but Xiao Yao kept talking to himself: "However, Yu Luying is the first one that I am really moved by... It should be said that it is love. In fact, I like the two people before me. We've always been good friends, but we gave up after being rejected, so there wasn't much entanglement. You know, I can easily become good friends with girls, but as long as I want to go a step further - "

"You've said it many times. No, you just want to fall in love so much?" Little Bear raised his forehead and said, "There are many other pleasures in life."

"I think so," Xiao Yao laughed self-deprecatingly: "Maybe I have read too many youth love novels in the "Youth Literature" magazine? I always feel that it is another time to have a girlfriend after you go to college and enter the society. It’s an experience, nothing like this…”

"How can I tolerate the love brain of a literary and artistic young man like you?" Xiao Xiong said helplessly: "It's just like a little girl who is poisoned by Qiong Yao!"

"It's "Juvenile Literature" and "Broken Buds." Xiao Yao corrected.

"So? Now that you suspect that Yu Luying actually likes you, you have become more thoughtful again?" Little Bear didn't understand: "Don't you just want to fall in love? How is Miss Shen worse than her? Just be content, just... If you do it again, be careful and you will end up empty-handed!"

Xiao Yao turned around and leaned against the railing: "Shen Jie also said that Yu Luying liked me, but I didn't take it seriously, but now that it comes out of her mother's mouth... it's hard for me not to take it seriously."

"Didn't she just mumble something unintentionally?" Little Bear became a little angry: "If Yu Luying wanted to promise you, she would have done so long ago. We finally became friends again. If you wanted to go further, she would ignore you again. It’s—”

"Well, I'm worried about this too, so I don't dare to ask her."

As the preparation bell rang, the noisy corridor returned to silence within a few seconds.

"You ask me if Yu Luying likes you, but I can't tell. Although Shen Bin and Hua Ang both said that you two can still reconcile after such a quarrel. They also help you with tutoring, make lunch, and take you to her house. I don’t like that I asked you to step aside a long time ago.” Xiao Xiong spoke quickly and waved his hand towards Xiao Yao: “If you ask me, they have never been in love, you know what the heck, why don’t you go and fall in love with that guy of yours? Master, can we discuss it with my sister? Only girls understand girls, let’s go.”

Xiao Yao didn't say anything, he just bent his hands and walked into the classroom.

During the ten-minute break between classes, Yu Luying did not leave her seat. She just lay on the table and wrote something.

He returned to his seat and sat down, looking at her thin shoulders covered by her long hair from behind.

She really works hard, Xiao Yao thought.

Teacher Yao originally wanted to appoint Yu Luying as class monitor, league secretary, and school committee member, but she rejected all of them. Otherwise, what would be the current school committee?

"For revolution, protect eyesight, eye exercises, start!"

Yu Luying's slender and slender thigh was folded on the knee of the other leg under the desk.

He has always envied this skill of girls - boys really can't do it.

"Close your eyes! The first section, Shake Tianyin Point!"

Xiao Yao's eyes moved downward and landed on her dangling ankle.

A touch of pure white snow peeked out from the uppers of sneakers and the legs of school pants. It was a sight that Xiao Yao would never tire of.

Whether it is spring, summer or autumn or winter, Yu Luying always wears snow-white sneakers and snow-white cotton socks in school - her socks outline the graceful curves of her ankles, without any patterns or colors, no lace, lace or fungus.

There are no hollows on the sides, just like endless and spotless white snow.

No matter when and where, whether it is shoes or socks, they are whiter than those of any girl. Xiao Yao finds this difficult to explain scientifically.

"In the second section, squeeze the Jingming point..."

I am not the only boy who has been close to her. I am by no means the best, Xiao Yao thought.

But they didn't even get a shut-down, they were simply ignored, and he became her only boyfriend... male friend.

Of course I became friends with her because I liked her, but what about her?

Or is this all just my delusion?

"Section three, shake the four white points!"

This symbiosis without any reason... Even God is trying to trick me into making us "one person". Should I still stand still?

But if I move, will it be considered a betrayal of Shen Jie? I shouldn't be such a person.

Besides, if I scare Yu Luying and classify me as a transparent person again, can I really use this to coerce her?

She really looks like a...frightened deer.

... Xiao Yao was glad that the distance between his and Yu Luying's seats was far enough for her to hear his inner thoughts.

He felt a little nervous, like he was nervous before an exam.

There seems to be an urge to burst out somewhere in the body.

"In the fourth quarter, shake your temples and scrape your eye sockets..."

The girl seemed to have noticed something. She glanced back, put on an angry expression at him, and then quickly turned back.

Xiao Yao closed his eyes and began to do eye exercises carelessly.

…

"Class!" As soon as the music ended, Xiao Yao heard a sharp female voice.

"Stand up!" the monitor said, followed by the sound of chairs moving in the class.

"Hello students!"

"Hello, teacher!" This was a weak, strange chorus of voices.

"Please sit down!"

Xiao Yao sat down, put up the textbook he had prepared, blocked his cell phone, and flipped through the text messages in his inbox.

"When my mother went to open the closet door, I was really scared to death!" This was the unsolicited text message sent by Yu Luying last night.

Xiao Yao: "Haha, I didn't expect it. I was also in a hurry and had an idea, and then I remembered to hide in the mirror."

Yu Luying: "Although you said you could walk through a mirror, I was still scared when I saw you coming out of the mirror."

Yu Luying: "By the way, what's in my mirror?"

Xiao Yao: "Well, your mother didn't give you any trouble when she went back later, right?"

Yu Luying: "No, she didn't find anything."

Xiao Yao: "Yes, that's good."

Yu Luying: "However, you can't come to the concerts and rehearsals these two days. My mother will be there."

Xiao Yao: ".. Got it."

After reviewing the text messages between him and Yu Luying, Xiao Yao looked at Shen Jie's number again.

Sure enough, it was almost noon, and my good morning text message had not been answered yet.

It’s time to have a good talk with her, Xiao Yao thought.

Preview of the next episode: Tomorrow's update will be a 5,000-word chapter. It will be a head-on confrontation with Shen Jie, and the relationship will undergo phased changes.
