make you fall in love with me sooner

Time flies, and it is 2007 in a blink of an eye.

Xu Yan has been teaching Lin Ran online for a while, and she has noticed Lin Ran's progress.

At some point, Lin Ran also started calling Teacher Xu Yanxu.

Even so, Xu Yan never sent a video to Lin Ran, but Lin Ran played several videos, but Xu Yan rejected them all.

[Gemini in June] "Take it! Let me see what such a powerful teacher Xu looks like"

[Incomparable] "No Camera"

After pressing the Enter key, Xu Yan immediately lowered his body and unplugged the camera cable on the main unit.

[June Gemini] "I don't believe it, you pick it up"

If it really showed that there was no camera, Lin Ran had no choice but to give up.

[Incomparable] "By the way, I wish you a happy new year!"

[Gemini in June] "Thank you, you too, Mr. Xu!"

[Incomparable] "How about a New Year's gift for you?"

[Gemini in June] "It's not a classic question about mathematics, physics and chemistry, is it? Teacher Xu, don't do this."

[Incomparable] "Haha, are you scared?"

[June Gemini] "Huh! You are a devil!"

[Incomparable] "On the day of returning to school, I put things in the guard room of your school, remember to get them."

From that day on, Lin Ran, who was afraid of the exam, suddenly looked forward to the end of the term coming soon.

It was an ordinary morning, and the frost that fell last night was particularly obvious on the grass leaves by the roadside.

Xu Yan carried his schoolbag on his back, greeted Rhubarb at the entrance of the village, and exchanged glances with the auntie at the early stall at the intersection, before crossing the bridge briskly.

At the gate of the No. [-] Middle School where Lin Ran was studying, Xu Yan took out a wrapped gift from his schoolbag, on which were painted fifteen colorful balloons with colored pencils, and on it was written:

For class three (2) Lin Ran

Wish: Happy New Year

Presumably as witty as Director Lin, he must know who sent it at a glance.

The security guard at No. [-] Middle School didn't make things difficult for her, and he didn't know if Xu Yan was acting like a good student, or because Xu Yan said that there were important study materials in it, so he asked Xu Yan to put it down after a few words.

After putting away his things, Xu Yan didn't leave right away. Even if he couldn't catch up with the closing ceremony of Luotian Middle School, Xu Yan still chose to wait for Lin Ran to appear at the intersection that Lin Ran would pass by.

In January in Qianzhou, the wind was a bit unreasonable.

Xu Yan couldn't stand in the cold, and Lin Ran slowly appeared in the distance.

The girl Xu Yan met Lin Ran before also appeared together. Xu Yan knew her name was Zeng Hong, and Lin Ran still kept in touch with Zeng Hong many years later.There was actually a boy next to him, and the three of them talked and laughed along the way, no wonder they came so late.

Xu Yan didn't stand where she was, but pretended to be walking on the road, staring at each other. She didn't stop until Lin Ran passed by.

Riding on the bike and following from a distance, Xu Yan saw Lin Ran go directly to the guard room, and then took the things she had left in the guard room.

Lin Ran smiled brightly.

When Xu Yan arrived at Luotian Middle School, the closing ceremony had already ended, and there were basically no people in the school.

Xu Yan glanced at the third floor where Class [-] was located. The door was still closed. Maybe someone else was suffering. After all, I knew the results of the final exam today. Whether I can have a good year depends on this day.

Xu Yan didn't go up, but went directly to the office to find the head teacher.

"Teacher Zeng."

Zeng Yun saw that Xu Yan came here at this time, pretended to be unhappy and said: "Xu Yan, you said that you have not been late for a semester, and you can't hold on to this last day."

Xu Yan smiled and said, "I didn't do it on purpose."

Sometimes Zeng Yun really couldn't understand Xu Yan. He was only fifteen or sixteen years old, how could he feel like he was in his 40s or [-]s, and he didn't have the vivacity of his peers at all.

"Your grade book, the final exam performance is average, and you are still the first in the grade." Zeng Yun handed the grade book to Xu Yan, and smiled with satisfaction: "Go to the classroom and copy the homework for the winter vacation. Liu Xiaomei probably hasn't locked the door yet."

Now it was Xu Yan's turn to be confused.

She came late today to give Lin Ran a gift on the one hand, and to avoid Liu Xiaomei on the other, otherwise she wouldn't have come so late.

After the second monthly exam, Liu Xiaomei approached Xu Yan more and more. She knew that Liu Xiaomei was showing favor to her.

For the first time, Xu Yan felt that the worldly prejudice was a little bit beneficial.Thinking about it, Liu Xiaomei might not be able to overcome the barriers of the world. She just has a good impression of her, and she should not behave excessively.

Xu Yan still wanted to avoid it, leaned against the wall on the second floor and did not go up, hoping to meet Liu Xiaomei coming down, so that she could just ask her for the key.

Ten minutes later, Xu Yan did not wait for Liu Xiaomei, but Zhong Zhenzhen.

"Not going up yet?" Zhong Zhenzhen raised her eyebrows, "Do you know that someone is waiting for you up there?"

There was a wry smile on Xu Yan's face, he didn't expect there to be a wingman.

"Just go up."

When passing by Xu Yan, Zhong Zhenzhen said again: "By the way, congratulations, you got the first place in the exam again." After speaking, Zhong Zhenzhen walked away in three steps at a time, feeling a little lonely in her hasty back.

"Xu Yan, you can do it." Xu Yan cheered himself up, and let her see what was waiting for her.She didn't do anything to offend Liu Xiaomei, so there's no need to hide like this.

Xu Yan soon came to the classroom, where only Liu Xiaomei was sitting in her seat.

Liu Xiaomei who heard the movement turned her head and saw Xu Yan coming in, stood up and walked towards Xu Yan.

"I copied a homework for you." Liu Xiaomei's cheeks were pink, and she lowered her head and handed a piece of homework paper to Xu Yan.

Xu Yan pretended not to notice Liu Xiaomei's abnormality, and reached out to take it, "Thank you."

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.

Liu Xiaomei's face became more and more red, and even her ears turned red.She really didn't know what to say, just now Zhong Zhenzhen had been encouraging her to be bold.

"Let me just tell you this. Xu Yan once told me that she has a crush on you." Zhong Zhenzhen saw that Liu Xiaomei was still hesitant, so she had to make a bigger move.

Liu Xiaomei raised her head abruptly: "How could that be!"

Zhong Zhenzhen nodded: "Really, when you were in the eighth grade, you still remember that there was a time when Xu Yan often took your notebook, it was that time."

"How could it be?" Liu Xiaomei murmured, "But she is so cold now, she can't tell at all."

"I'll just ask you, do you want to, if you do, don't worry about it."

Liu Xiaomei was silent, she was thinking about what Zhong Zhenzhen said.

Zhong Zhenzhen has said everything she can say, she knows why Xu Yan is so cold, to be honest, she doesn't like it very much.Pack up your things and leave.

"Xu Yan, you... you took the first place again, congratulations!" Liu Xiaomei stopped Xu Yan who was about to leave in time.

Xu Yan was about to turn around, but Liu Xiaomei grabbed the corner of his clothes, "Thank you. And you, you should have done well in the exam."

"I haven't." Liu Xiaomei bowed her head, "Xu Yan, I want to tell you, we...you..."

When Xu Yan heard this, he patted Liu Xiaomei on the shoulder and said, "We'll be taking the senior high school entrance examination in half a year. Don't think about those messy things, study hard."

Xu Yan pretended to be serious, blocking what Liu Xiaomei wanted to say.

"It's getting late, I'm going back, you should go back early too." Xu Yan raised the homework paper in his hand, "Thank you anyway."
