Chapter 32:

After the penalty stop, it was noon.
After lunch, Zhang Man and Chen Feier went for a walk to the playground a little farther away from the cafeteria in order to digest.
The weather outside today was not bad, the snow stopped, and the temperature rose a lot from the previous two days. The cinder track was cleaned up, but there was still snow on the lawn beside the track.
Every winter, the thick snow is pure and beautiful for only a few days, and soon it will be mixed with sludge or some dirty things and become muddy.
There was a basketball court in the middle of the cinder track. There were a lot of idle boys playing during the siesta time. A few sharp-eyed students were walking, and they whistled several times.
Chen Feier took Zhang Man's arm and was a little worried: "Man Man, I heard that Si Jin is chasing Li Wei these days, and the coming is so fierce, do you think he would like her? Si Jin seems to be pretty."
Zhang Man thought of Li Wei's reaction just now and was in a good mood, so he bent his eyes: "No."
Chen Feier was a little confused: "Manman, you said when school just started, you want to chase him, now a semester has passed, the two of you should have a good relationship? Then when will you confess?"
Zhang Man sighed inwardly.
Originally, her plan was to go along with the flow. When the two people feel that the time is right, one day they will be together naturally.
After all, Li Wei's situation was special. He had encountered so many things and didn't believe in feelings at all. She worried that if she confessed too early, he would think she was too rash and not serious.
She just wanted to use practical actions to make him feel that she likes him, and then integrate into his life little by little, let him get used to her existence, so as not to dream of those illusory family and friendship.
However, the appearance of Si Jin sounded her alarm bell and aroused her desire for exclusivity. She knew that she should speed up the process.
They walked back while chatting.
Outside the playground are two rows of evergreen firs, which can be regarded as the only green in the desolate campus in winter. Fir trees are very tall and wide and narrow from bottom to top. They are often used as Christmas trees in the West. At this time, the tops of the fir are covered with snow, which really smells like a Christmas tree.
The two of them walked out of the gravel path between the two rows of tall fir trees and ran into tall and beautiful girls face to face.
"Hey, your name is Zhang Man, right? Get to know, Si Jin."
...
Time to return to before one class.
It has been a week since Si Jin transferred from Ronghuai. She came to the First Middle School, naturally not for learning, her goal is very clear.
She thought very well at the beginning. She delivered breakfast and got acquainted with each other first, and then reminisce about the past together. Maybe it would take less than a week to get the little brother down.
Who knows, things turned out to be so unsatisfactory—the little brother couldn't get in at all, and every day refused to send her early. She even suspected that after she brushed her face for a week, he might still not remember her.
For the first time in her life, Si Jin, a beautiful girl who met once in three thousand years, started to have a headache for a man.
On the podium, the teacher was talking about mathematics that she would never understand in her life.
Si Jin scratched his scalp, sneaked out his mobile phone, and turned it over boredly.
As a result, she turned to the post that had just spread wildly in the post bar. There is a photo of her little brother Li Wei, who stretched out his left hand to rub the head of a girl, but was avoided by the girl.
Si Jin zoomed in and then zoomed in on the picture, and the pixels of the camera phone were not bad.
She was a for a while, so handsome, and her expression was so gentle.
I reacted in the next second, gritted his teeth and thought, this girl?
So she asked a girl in the class who this girl was.
The girl hurriedly showed her the last post of the "Ice Beauty with Rabbit Earmuffs", and there were photos in it.
Si Jin squinted his eyes. This is a close-up, and it looks... really pretty. Wait... Isn't this girl the one who stood next to Li Wei the last time she met Li Wei in the mall? And she went to bring breakfast to Li Wei these days, as if she was still at his table.
Are they already together? So the gentle and beautiful little brother was snatched away?
No, she was one step too late when she first came?
She is as proud as her, she will not do things like interfering in the feelings of other young lovers.
She has to ask first.
After lunch, she heard that there were boys in the class who hadn't watched Zhang Man in the basketball court, so she rushed over and blocked her at the exit.
"Hey, your name is Zhang Man, right? Si Jin."
The girl didn't wear school uniform, her long curly hair tied a high ponytail, and she looked fashionable and youthful.
Zhang Man felt that Chen Feier next to her immediately raised her head, as if she could roll up her sleeves and start tearing.
She pressed her hand and nodded her head indifferently: "Yes, I am Zhang Man. We have seen it."
The two of them were looking at each other. After all, Zhang Man was living a whole life again, and because of his personality, he looked calmly.
However, Si Jin is a lot more presumptuous. She is almost a slow-motion version of the movie. She looked at her from head to toe and finally gave an evaluation.
"...You are good."
Before Zhang Man had a chance to fight back, she said again: "I ask you, are you Li Wei's girlfriend?"
Zhang Man shook his head and nodded again: "It will be done soon."
Si Jin was overjoyed.
She raised her eyebrows: "In other words, it's not now? That's fine, it won't be in the future."
She said goodbye to her and waved her hand, and walked away.
Zhang Man pursed her lips, she was simple and clear, she was a pretty good girl.
But she thought of the cold and indifferent boy, but she didn't worry at all.
How could he fall in love with others, Zhang Man blamed himself silently in his heart.
That young man, whether in his previous life or in this life, had embraced her so tenderly. In his eyes, he looked at her and hid all his distrust of the world and the darkness in his heart. He took the most gentle Give it to her.
It has been almost a semester since the beginning of school.
He really changed a lot.
At the very beginning, he didn't even bother to care about others hurting him, his world had nothing but physics. It's like nothing in this world can let him stay for a while.
But such a person, for her to lose control, beat those who wanted to bully her to the ground. I accompany her through the dim yellow street lights and fallen leaves every night, and send her downstairs. Accompany her to the bar to solve those messy things, and accompany her to work as a lobbyist at Uncle Xu's house.
He took the trouble to talk to her, and when she was sad, he patted her on the back to comfort her and bought her Christmas presents.
In just one semester, there have been so many memories and intersections between her and his teenager. Because of her, he has stepped into the world.
Zhang Man is very convinced at this moment that the teenager she loves must also like her in his heart, and only likes her.
How could she doubt that he would be easily snatched away.
...
After standing at noon, Li Wei had no appetite, so he sat in the classroom to review some content of "General Relativity."
It is a derivation of Lendler space that has been done earlier.
The tip of the pen punctured the thin scratch paper.
He closed the book irritably and looked out the window, his head was full of tears on the girl's white face. Once again, the heart seemed to be clenched, and the dull pain made him almost suffocated.
He tried to think about whether he had done something wrong that would make her feel so sad, so sad that those tears seemed to be pouring out for nothing.
He thought again, why he would be more sad when she was sad. How can one person's emotions be controlled by another person?
These questions are more difficult to solve than the derivation of the blockbuster, and he cannot find the only answer.
"Li Wei, no, Brother Li, please ask."
The boy heard the sound and turned his head.
It was Liu Chang who was speaking. He still had some impressions. The two were classmates in junior high school.
Liu Chang rubbed his hands and sat on Zhang Man's seat with a smile.
Perhaps because of guilt, after he hit Li Wei that time, causing his arm to crack, his hostility towards him has faded a lot.
When he was in junior high school, he also heard a lot of rumors about him, and it was very upset to see him as a maverick and not getting close to strangers, so he never looked good at him.
But after getting along for a long time, he discovered that this buddy really doesn't care, or it may be that mental patients and ordinary people have different thinking patterns.
Anyway, no matter what people's attitudes toward him, whether they like him or be isolated, he has always been alone and focused on doing his own things.
Li Wei nodded blankly: "Say."
"That... Brother Li, I want to ask you, you have such a facial paralyzed face, and your reputation is... so bad, why did you get to our two schools? Goddess Si Jin buys you breakfast every day, Zhang The girl was so jealous for you, I just saw her standing there after class, her eyes are red, she must have cried."
The boy's eyes narrowed slightly, and after a while he asked, "Jealous?"
"Yeah, Si Jin came over to bring you breakfast just now during the big break. I saw Sister Zhang's eyes were about to breathe fire, staring at that breakfast was about to stare out of the hole. I must be jealous."
As soon as Liu Chang's voice fell, I saw the boy who had been expressionless before, and it seemed that the corner of his mouth was slightly tickled.
He rubbed his eyes, his smile had disappeared, almost until he suspected that it was his own illusion.
Well, it must be an illusion. He strongly suspects that this guy has a problem with his laughing nerves. He hasn't seen him laugh with his junior high school classmates in three years.
He was just about to continue digging into the roots, but his stubborn deskmate over there called him out, and what he said was terrifying: "Hey, Liu Chang, haven't you written your math homework yet? You still have time to chat there? The lunch break ends It's about to be handed in."
Liu Chang was taken aback, thinking of the mathematics teacher Yang Min's extinct teacher's face, with a trembling ending: "Fuck, I forgot! Did you borrow me?"
The other party coldly rejected him.
At this time, the teenager he had hated for three years suddenly threw an exercise book into his hand.
"mine."
Liu Chang opened his mouth and picked up the gold-rich homework, flattered.
Jealous?
The boy turned his face to look out of the window, his lips gradually raised.
The most gentle thing in the world is the light rain in March and the warm winter sun. At this moment, the sun outside is just right, shining diagonally into the window sill, and on the window sill, a tumble of snow melts silently in the sun.
Such gentleness, as if it could melt the ice in his heart.
