sweetheart confession

The first time Pei Zhanyang talked to Chen Ruixi was in the first semester of high school, the second day after class placement, the first day of school.

The usual practice of Chenghe Middle School is that the first semester of senior high school is not divided into classes, and the second semester of senior high school is divided into top classes and ordinary classes according to all the grades of the previous semester.As the No. [-] middle school in Chenghe City, Chenghe Middle School has fourteen classes in each grade, and there are only two top classes.

It was February, just after the new year, the trees on both sides of the road stretched out their bare branches, and the air blowing towards us was still icy cold.Panting heavily, Pei Zhanyang ran all the way south, and the sound of chaotic footsteps behind him finally faded away.The bruise at the corner of his mouth was faintly oozing blood. Pei Zhanyang didn't control his strength well, and subconsciously "hissed" when he touched the wound.

He breathed out a breath of cold mist, and thought of the group of people chasing after him like mad dogs just now, he gave a very disdainful snort.

The surrounding environment was very quiet, Pei Zhanyang raised his chin, and only then did he notice where he ran.

Chenghe Middle School is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and the back mountain of the school has always been the "secret base" that all students yearn for.For safety reasons, the school issued a notice prohibiting all students from approaching the back mountain of the school. Once discovered, they will face serious warnings and even risk expulsion from school.

Under the high-pressure policy, the students can only be obedient; besides, the entrance to the back mountain is tightly sealed by the school, and they can't find the way up the mountain even if they want to go up the mountain.

And Pei Zhanyang accidentally ran to the foot of the mountain.The strenuous running caused a thin layer of sweat to ooze from his forehead. He frowned tightly, and only now did he notice that the entrance that had always been well sealed was now opened.

The school has sealed the entrance with a nearly two-meter-high wooden fence, and school security guards will come to check it regularly.Perhaps it was several heavy rains these days that washed away the fixed wooden fence.Pei Zhanyang approached slowly, and as soon as he touched the loose wooden fences, he saw them fall down at his feet in unison.

Pei Zhanyang: "..." Since this is a "forbidden place" and Pei Zhanyang has done many illegal things on weekdays, he has long lost his credibility with the teacher.One by one, the previous convictions are piled up. If one is found to have gone up the mountain, one may be "expelled from school".

He set his eyes on the muddy path at the entrance, and suddenly found that there seemed to be messy but unclear footprints there.He raised his eyebrows in surprise, thinking for a moment that he was wrong.

Pei Zhanyang was only curious for three seconds before turning around and wanting to leave, but just at this moment, a clear voice came over: "...Why are you here alone?"

"Then I'll stay here with you for a while."

There was a pause in his leaving footsteps, then Pei Zhanyang suddenly turned around and stepped on the wooden fences up the mountain.

It was just after school, and the winter sky was getting dark very quickly. It was only after five o'clock, and the sky was already getting dark.Pei Zhanyang didn't take a few steps when he saw a person squatting not far away. He was wearing the dark blue school uniform of Chenghe Middle School, and he lowered his head to the grass in front of him and muttered to himself: "Are you hungry? But I only have a morning meal in my pocket." Do you want to eat the unfinished ham sausage?"

The darkened night made him unable to see the man's face clearly. Before Pei Zhanyang had time to figure out the situation in front of him, the boy suddenly looked at him.

The unexpected stares made Pei Zhanyang unprepared. The boy in front of him had a small face, and he pulled the zipper of the school uniform up to his chin, causing the lower half of his face to be buried in the school uniform.

He curled up there, but his eyes were bright in the dim environment; Pei Zhanyang looked coldly, looking fiercely.

"Meow-meow--" The sudden meow of a cat interrupted the silent confrontation between the two, and a kitten suddenly came out from the messy grass.It was a dirty-looking kitten with yellow and black fur.It ran to the boy's feet in two or three steps, and arched its head anxiously at his shoes, as if it smelled the scent of ham in his pocket.

Maybe it was because there was one more person suddenly, the boy stopped talking to the kitten, but took out the half sausage from his pocket and silently handed it to the kitten's mouth.

Pei Zhanyang lowered his eyes, looking at the harmonious scene of a cat and a man, and suddenly felt that he was superfluous.

Originally, he was attracted by the voice, but now his curiosity was satisfied.Pei Zhanyang looked at it for a while and felt bored, so he turned his head and wanted to go down the mountain.

But it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain. It is a coincidence that the school security guards came to the back mountain of the school to step on the spot at this time.Like Pei Zhanyang, he not only noticed the wooden fence lying on the ground, but also found the messy footprints at the entrance.

A beam of bright light suddenly shone in, Pei Zhanyang's pupils shrank, and he turned his head reflexively and ran deep into the back mountain.

After running for a while, he suddenly remembered that there was still the boy who fed the cat, so Pei Zhanyang ran back after running halfway, grabbed the back collar of the boy's school uniform without saying a word, and picked him up directly.

Of course, Pei Zhanyang didn't have good intentions, he was just worried that this boy would confess himself by the way after being caught by the security guards.

There are very few people in Chenghe Middle School who don't know Pei Zhanyang. Rather than saying that the warnings posted on the bulletin board every three days made him famous, it is better to say that his outstanding appearance and arrogant style are more attractive.

The half-eaten ham sausage was thrown in front of the kitten, and the school security followed the footprints to find it. When they saw the kitten and the ham sausage, they were more certain that someone had entered the back mountain.

Pei Zhanyang led the boy and ran all the way. The faster they ran, the more bushes and jungles ahead and the narrower the road.The gasping behind him became more and more serious, tall trees blocked his sight, and a fork in the road suddenly appeared in front of him, Pei Zhanyang raised his head, trying to identify the direction.

His sleeve was pulled off suddenly, Pei Zhanyang's ears itch, and he heard the boy's breathless answer: "The right..." Then they ran to the right.

However, these two people can hide their figures but not their footprints. The school security guard, like the dean, is also an incredibly shrewd character.He played cat and mouse with these mischievous students all year round. Pei Zhanyang found a dense bush, quickly lowered his figure, and hid in with the boys.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, only the "rustling" sound when the wind blew the branches.The strong white light of the flashlight illuminated their area. Pei Zhanyang held his breath, but his expression was as calm as ever.

Fortunately, they were hiding. The school security saw the footprints but no one. He searched around, but still didn't find any traces.

At this moment, Pei Zhanyang was about one meter in front of him, and he watched his black cloth shoes shake back and forth, and finally slowly moved away from them.

After the people left, Pei Zhanyang let out a long sigh of relief. He bent his back and turned to look at the person beside him.

However, the boy didn't seem nervous at all. He noticed Pei Zhanyang's unfriendly eyes, and turned his head to avoid his eyes.

Pei Zhanyang is much taller than him, and it is really uncomfortable for a boy who is about 1.8 meters to nest in the grass.Looking at his awkward posture from the corner of his eye, he reminded him softly: "We can go out now."

Pei Zhanyang stared outside, and analyzed with his usual experience: "Wait a little longer."

The boy nodded and responded, "Okay."

Time passed by every minute and every second, and the two fell silent again.

The dense bushes and grass seemed to have become a closed space, and this thin-looking boy was clinging to his shoulders.Pei Zhanyang could hear his breathing and smell the faint fragrance from his school uniform.

It should be the smell of laundry detergent, mixed with the unique smell after being exposed to the sun, which will not make people feel repelled.

Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, Pei Zhanyang went out first after he was sure that the person had really left.The two of them squatted for a long time, and when they got up, they both had legs and feet that were awkward.

Pei Zhanyang didn't know him, even if he knew him, there was no need to say hello to him.He still had things to do, the boy subconsciously grabbed him when he saw that he was about to leave.

Because of those thrilling experiences just now, Pei Zhanyang has not paid attention to his appearance.Now the two looked at each other, and the dim environment made him still unable to see his face clearly.

So he can only look into his eyes by feeling, and hear his voice ringing in his ears: "It's scratched."

Then Pei Zhanyang felt something cold fall on his cheek, and before he could react, that feeling disappeared.

The boy withdrew his hand, Pei Zhanyang watched his movements, and realized that the cold touch just now was his fingertips.

He lowered his head, fumbled in the pockets of his school uniform with both hands, then spread out his palms and stretched out his hands in front of him.

Pei Zhanyang saw a band-aid in his palm.

"Scratches," he repeated.

Pei Zhanyang raised his hand, touched his cheek, and felt the wet dark red.

It turned out that when the two of them were running away, Pei Zhanyang was scratched on the face by the sudden sharp branches around him.The wound stretched from the top of the nose to the bottom of the eye. The wound was not deep, but it was bleeding continuously.

Pei Zhanyang didn't care about this kind of physical injury at all, but the boy seemed to sense the rejection in his eyes, and tore off the band-aid in two or three strokes, and quickly stuck it on his cheek.

Pei Zhanyang: "..." After posting, he immediately took a few steps back, as if he was afraid that Pei Zhanyang would beat him up.

The sky was completely dark, Pei Zhanyang looked at his actions, and felt that he might be a scourge in his eyes.

He was in a hurry to keep the appointment, so he stopped pursuing the Band-Aid with him; before leaving, Pei Zhanyang seemed to have thought of something, and asked him abruptly, "What's your name?"

"Xixi." The boy answered quickly, only after he finished his answer did he realize that he didn't complete the answer.

"Chen Ruixi."

Pei Zhanyang thought for a while, and made sure that this name never existed in his mind.

"You..." Chen Ruixi didn't expect Pei Zhanyang to ask his name, and the question Chen Ruixi asked him next wasn't what Pei Zhanyang expected.

"Did you cut your hair?"

It was indeed cut, and it was specially cut at the barber shop yesterday to welcome the start of school today.Pei Zhanyang shaved off all the sideburns on both sides, and the bangs on his forehead were also much shorter, revealing his full forehead.This hairstyle exposed all his excellent eyebrows and eyes, but at the same time it also made his eyes sharper.

Pei Zhanyang thought this person was strange, so he naturally didn't answer this strange question.Chen Ruixi watched as he gouged himself out with impatient eyes, and then gradually disappeared from his sight.

Pei Zhanyang returned the same way, and went straight to the meeting place after going down the mountain.It was a private restaurant they had always liked to go to. His good brothers were all waiting there. It wasn't until Pei Zhanyang appeared that everyone cheered and became lively.

"Pei Zhanyang! We thought you were beaten beyond recognition by those people! I don't know where to hide and cry!"

"That's right! Zijun and I are still planning whether to come to you or not!"

When talking about the reason for the fight today, Pei Zhanyang was also very speechless.In fact, the matter is also very simple - Chenghe No. [-] Middle School also has a thorn in its head, Lu Zehao.Pei Zhanyang and him were in the same junior high school, and the two had been at odds since junior high school, and they still couldn't see each other after they were admitted to different high schools.Chenghe No. [-] Middle School is just across the street from Chenghe Middle School, and the two will run into each other every now and then. Once they meet, nothing good will happen.

Lu Zehao has a mean mouth and always likes to sarcasm Pei Zhanyang; Pei Zhanyang has always been a character who doesn't talk too much, the only way for him to shut up Lu Zehao is to use his fists.

Every fight between the two is a situation where both sides suffer. This time Lu Zehao played tricks on him and deliberately picked the first day of school. Pei Zhanyang stopped him on the way to the party alone.

When Ma Zijun thinks of Lu Zehao, he finds it funny: "Isn't it normal for his girlfriend to fall in love with Pei Zhanyang? The reason why he doesn't look for his girlfriend, and what does it mean to trouble Pei Zhanyang?"

"That's right!" echoing voices sounded from around immediately, "Pei Zhanyang didn't grab the second and didn't cheat! He's taken advantage of this well!"

There are a total of seven or eight people sitting around this box, all of whom have known Pei Zhanyang since the first day of junior high school and have a very good relationship.Pei Zhanyang went to a private junior high school, and most of them were rich or expensive characters.So really counting, no one at this table is easy to mess with.

Zhang Yuanyao, who was sitting next to him, was the only one who was admitted to Chenghe Middle School with him. He leaned over and called out "Brother Pei", and brought a glass of poured Sprite to him.

Zhang Yuanyao looked up at the Band-Aid on his face, and couldn't help but said, "I made a bet with Shi Junyang just now..." "What bet?"

"Who put the Band-Aid on your face? Shi Junyang bet on Lu Zehao's girlfriend, and I bet on someone else."

There were at least five drinks on the table, and Pei Zhanyang realized why Zhang Yuanyao poured Sprite for him alone.

He lowered his eyes, and there was a layer of tiny bubbles floating on the transparent drink.Zhang Yuanyao blew for him intimately, and the layer of bubbles was blown away.

Pei Zhanyang also took this opportunity to see clearly the Band-Aid on his face, and Chen Ruixi forcibly put it on, a pink Band-Aid with graffiti on it.

In fact, when Pei Zhanyang came in, everyone noticed it, but he was preempted by Lu Zehao's matter, so he didn't have time to talk about it.Seeing Zhang Yuanyao mentioning it now, everyone booed accordingly.

"I want to bet too! I want to bet too! I want to bet on Lu Zehao's girlfriend!"

"I think so too!"

"No way! You look at Pei Zhanyang's eyes, I think it's tricky—" "Brother Pei? Brother Pei?" Zhang Yuanyao found that Pei Zhanyang had been wandering, and he called people back to God, "We're all so curious, come to the end who is it!"

There was a thin layer of blood on the wound at the corner of his mouth. Pei Zhanyang reached out and took a tissue, then picked up the kettle on the table and wet the tissue.

With that glass of Sprite, he lifted the corner of his mouth and wiped off the layer of blood.

The pain invaded the brain in an instant, but Pei Zhanyang seemed to have gotten used to this feeling, and he struck hard and fast.

While wiping, he said calmly under the expectant eyes of a group of people: "No one."

"Liar!"

"What nonsense are you talking about! Pei Zhanyang! No one, why don't you tell us? Is this trying to hide someone?!"

Pei Zhanyang wiped the corners of his mouth clean, looked at them with his dark eyes, and repeated: "There really is no one."

His expression was always indifferent, as if he didn't care about everyone's teasing.

When Shi Junyang saw that the man was not letting go, he thought of a way - he didn't know where to find a band-aid, which was the brown band-aid that everyone usually used.He handed the Band-Aid to Pei Zhanyang, and said with a smile: "Pei Zhanyang, then you can change it. This pink one sticking to your face will really damage your image."

Pei Zhanyang looked down at the Band-Aid in Shi Junyang's palm, and suddenly remembered Chen Ruixi taking out the Band-Aid in front of him.

——He thought of his cold fingertips in the dark night, his stubborn attitude, and the very familiar but very strange questions.

The chandelier above his head illuminated Pei Zhanyang's eyes. Holding the glass of Sprite, he pushed Shi Junyang's hand away.

"Forget it." Pei Zhanyang bit the wall of the cup and said clearly, "Trouble."

The rising bubbles finally exploded in Pei Zhanyang's mouth, and the atmosphere reached its peak immediately after these words.Ma Zijun started planning in front of him, saying that he would keep an eye on Pei Zhanyang in the future, and he would know who the owner of this band-aid was within a week.

"Zhang Yuanyao! Now you are our only hope! Starting tomorrow! Eat, sleep, and go to the toilet! You have to be by Pei Zhanyang's side, never leave!"

"Received! Guaranteed to complete the task!"

And the person they were eagerly discussing had gloomy eyes, looking somewhere inadvertently.

——That direction happened to be the direction of the mountain behind the school, but looking from here, there was nothing to be seen except a large black forest.
