[My English] Booming and freezing make people anxious

The spring break is over, and you, a girl named Iris Kiyose, who is in the second year of junior high school, has entered the third year of junior high school.

There are cherry blossom trees planted on both sides of the road, and the breeze rolls the petals, mixed with the fragrance, and the pink petals are all over the ground. You are humming happily and walking towards the school.

As usual, the opening ceremony featured speeches by the principal and speeches by student representatives, but the principal's impassioned encouragement caused little repercussions.It’s good that you haven’t fallen asleep, you thought idly, you still maintained a good sitting posture on the surface, but your thoughts had already flown out of the auditorium.

......

"This year is Mr. Hong's speech!"

"Really!"

"His voice is very nice, I seldom hear him speak!"

"I'm not in the same class as you after all~"

The little commotion down there finally pulled your mind back, the girls were whispering about the student representative who spoke this year, Hong Jiaodong.

You are not surprised by this. Classmate Hong has always attracted much attention, as the focus of the crowd.

With an outstanding appearance, a strong personality, and excellent grades, his father is still a No. 2 hero, and he has no shortage of suitors. He basically has everything that ordinary people envy.

But even if you are a classmate, compared to outsiders, your understanding of him is just that he is not as cold and distant as the outside rumors say.

For example, asking him to help with small things like moving homework on duty is no problem, and he will not roll his eyes and walk away, or just ignore it or even be frozen.

However, there are also many people who believe in such rumors, so some girls who have fantasies about him are always afraid to get close to him.

However, in fact, you have witnessed with your own eyes a girl who mustered up the courage to open Hong's shoe cabinet and was about to put a love letter in it. Unfortunately, Hong saw it and walked up to the girl silently. The girl's face had already turned tomato-colored.

"You made a mistake, this is my shoe cabinet."

Hong looked down at the paper in the girl's hand.

"If I put the questionnaire in the shoe cabinet, I will just throw it away. Don't do it again next time. If necessary, you can distribute it to each class after class."

There was no condemnation in the tone, and there was no ups and downs in the tone, as calm as ever.

"Yes, sorry!"

The girl bowed and apologized, turned around and ran away holding the love letter and covering her face.

Hong took out his shoes and put them on, and walked out of the school gate.

You have witnessed the whole process, and you are about to stifle internal injuries from laughing, and you treat sending love letters as questionnaires, and you are unexpectedly so slow in love!

And why did the girl apologize to him when she clearly wanted to confess her love? She was so serious that she took her away!

It’s been so long and I still feel like laughing when I think about it. After recalling this oolong confession, the ceremony is almost over. You finally put away the smile on your face, talking and laughing with your classmates you haven’t seen for a long time. classroom.

In the new school year, according to the regulations, the seats will be re-arranged. You will be seated by the window next to your best friend. It is really a good seat.

Just when he was thinking in his heart, Hong walked towards you with his schoolbag in his hand, and sat down silently behind you.

???

It's a little surprising that there is a classmate at the back table... But it's okay, I can ask him if I have any questions in the future~

Nearly three months of the semester have passed without knowing it. During this period, you and Hong communicated the most about math problems, which is your weakest subject, and it is also the subject that Hong has been contracted to be the first in the grade.

"Boom classmate, can you know this question?"

"Ah, ah, classmate, the teacher spoke too fast, please tell me again!"

"Boom classmate...save the child...what does this title mean..."

"Iris-san, have you really attended the class..."

Although Boom showed a very helpless look, he still explained to you very seriously and patiently.

It is also thanks to Hong who has been explaining in a way that allows a brain like you who is not good at mathematics, physics and chemistry to quickly understand, so that your math scores can be kept at a score that does not hinder the total score.

After school is over on Friday after the exam, after the homework is distributed, you excitedly packed your schoolbag and pulled your best friend to rush out of the classroom and head to the game hall.

"Iris-san, wait a minute—"

"Contact me by email, I'm in a hurry!"

Boom It seems that there is something wrong, but you can't care so much because you are so playful, and you forget about it in a while.

After saying goodbye to your best friend, you are walking home alone.You have been busy preparing for the exam, and it’s been a long time since you let go of your play. You stretched your waist, took out your phone, and prepared to check the time.The first thing I see is an unread email.

The sender is Hong Jiaodong.

Oops!Forget about bombarding your classmates!You hurriedly open the email, which was sent 20 minutes ago.

"Student Iris, we seem to have taken the wrong homework. I asked the students in the front row, and they didn't take it wrong. If you see the text message within half an hour, you can come to XX noodle shop to find me."

!!!

You took out the homework book in your bag, and the words "Boom Jiaodong" on the cover came into view.

After holding his forehead weakly, he took out a [-]-meter sprint and rushed to the noodle shop.

Fortunately, the noodle shop was on the way. Five minutes later, you walked into the noodle shop out of breath, and sat down next to Hong who was eating cold soba noodles.

The temperature in the evening after summer is not low, sweat slides from the forehead along the contour of the cheeks to the chin, Hong stopped the chopsticks in his hand and put them aside, took out a tissue and handed it to you.

"Don't be so anxious. In fact, you didn't see it today. You can find time on the weekend in exchange for it."

Boom's tone was as calm as ever.

Then why didn't you mention it in the email, Hong Jiaodong! ! !You roared and complained in your heart.

"It's okay... Change back today, just finish your homework today, and relax on the weekend..."

"Did you have meal?"

"No, I was going home to eat instant noodles and watch a drama, but when I saw the text message, I rushed over."

"Feel sorry."

"Why do you apologize? It's my fault for taking the wrong homework..."

"That's right, if it wasn't for Iris, you were in a hurry to play, and you wouldn't have to rush over now to change."

???

I don't know why you now have the urge to beat up Jiao Dong, although what he said is right...

"Return it to you, here, homework." You took out Hong's homework from your bag, and Hong also took out your homework from your own bag.

"Why do you write your English name?"

"Because the Japanese name is really ugly, I have been writing the name of the homework in English since the first day of junior high school."

"I see."

"Speaking of which, classmate Hong, your handwriting is quite beautiful. Would you mind writing my name for me?"

You remembered the delicate handwriting on Hong's homework book, and wanted to ask him for a favor.

For so many years, ugly handwriting has been your eternal pain, and the teacher lamented that the saying that handwriting looks like a person does not apply to you at all.

After all, as a girl with a height of 155cm and a cute appearance, who can be directly linked to the word cute girl, this handwriting is connected with yourself, which creates a great sense of disobedience.

"can."

As he said that, he took out a pencil, wrote "Iris Kiyose" next to your English name, and gave it back to you.

"It's beautiful! Thank you!" You can't help but admire.

"It's okay." Hong responded to your thanks in a serious manner, then picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat cold soba noodles.

"I'll eat here too, do you have any recommendations?" You suddenly feel hungry looking at Hong Chi.

"I think the cold soba noodles in this store are the best. I come to eat every Friday night."

"Boss! I'll serve cold soba noodles!" Since classmate Hong said it was delicious, the taste should not be bad.

The noodles came quickly, and you couldn't wait to scoop up some and taste it, but tears flowed from the wasabi.

Hong hurriedly used the iced teacup to quickly cool down the hot tea, and handed it to you. After taking a big sip, he felt better. You looked at Hong with some resentment.

"Cold soba noodles taste good only when they are mixed well. You must have eaten wasabi that was not mixed well just now."

"Why didn't you say..."

"When I was about to say it, you had already eaten..."

Well, this time you learn your lesson and mix well before you dare to take a second bite.

Now the taste is really good. After confirming the safety, you are really hungry. After chewing slowly and eating your portion, you are almost satisfied. It is indeed better than instant noodles.

"Student Iris."

"Ok?"

"After eating, it's better to wipe the sauce on your face."

......

You took the tissue from Hong in embarrassment, how embarrassing, you thought, after all, classmate Hong is a boy...

"I'll take you home."

"Eh? No need, my house is not far from here."

"Then it will be more convenient to deliver. It's getting late, and it's not safe for a girl to be alone, and your parents will be anxious."

"It's okay, I live by myself, my parents don't have time to take care of me."

"In that case, you should pay more attention to safety. I'll see you off. Let's go."

"Then... well, please."

The sky has completely darkened, and there are far fewer pedestrians on the road. You and Hong are walking side by side on the road, and you have been a little silent since you came out of the noodle shop. You want to find something to talk about.

"Student Hong doesn't come home so late, won't the family be in a hurry?"

Hearing what you said, he paused for a moment before speaking.

"will not."

"Is it because your parents are very trusting of you? But according to Hong's personality, those who are in danger and unlucky are also bad people."

You talked on your own, and only after you finished speaking did you realize something was wrong with Hong's face.

"What, what's wrong, classmate Hong, did I, did I say something wrong? If I said something wrong, I apologize to you—"

"No, there is no need to apologize. My mother is currently in the hospital and is not at home. My father will have some activities on Friday and is not there."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know your mother was ill. I was rude. I hope she can recover soon. Mr. Andeva...it seems that he is really busy..."

"I'll pass it on to my mother, let's go."

Except for the farewell after arriving home, you and Hong have no other topics to talk about along the way.

You hug your pillow at night, tossing and turning, regretting what you said you shouldn't have said.

Hong only mentioned his mother at the end, he didn't seem to want to mention his father, Andeva, and his tone was indifferent, as if he had changed into a different person.

You feel that there is something hidden in it. Although you are a little curious, your reason tells you that you should not ask.

It's already midnight, and you still can't sleep. You always feel that you've said something wrong and made Hong hate you. Otherwise, how could his tone, which is usually calm all the time, suddenly become low.

No, I should send an email to apologize again.But it's too late now, will it bother him?you

Feel very tangled.

"It won't be really hated..."

"Probably not, classmate Hong is still very tolerant, after all, he usually teaches me to be very patient!"

"But this is a family matter... I'm too rash to ask... It's the first time I've seen him look so gloomy..."

You start to wonder if he hates you again, since he moved into your backseat, you know him better.

It is completely different from the iceberg face on the outside. He will take your questions seriously and give detailed and easy-to-understand answers. He will not complain too much, and at most he will make complaints.

The most powerful one is that you didn’t understand after five times of lectures, and said: “Did everything you listened to in class turn into water and pour into your brain?”

After listening to it, you were shocked, the famous Bingshan male god in the school actually complained! ! !

But Hong thought that what he said was too much and hurt your self-esteem, so he apologized seriously.

Hong is actually a very gentle person and very careful, completely different from the usual rumors.

As the representative of the English class in the class, you often help the teacher send and receive homework, but since the third year of junior high, the classroom and office are too far away, and getting homework has become a chore.

Due to the height problem, half of the forward vision will be blocked after moving the homework. I have also experienced the situation where the homework is scattered all over the place after two falls, which is simply miserable.

English homework is usually approved before the lunch break, and you usually choose a more abundant lunch break to pick it up. Although Aoi (best friend) expressed sympathy for you, she can't do anything about it. After all, she will be arrested during the lunch break and go to do math with the others .

After the third fall, you complained to Hong, ah...the class representative doesn't want to be a class representative anymore...how about you help me get my homework, classmate?

When it’s lunch break, you go back to the classroom after eating to put away your lunch box and prepare to pick up your homework, but you find that the homework has been neatly stacked on the podium.

Looking straight at Hong, who was resting on the table, you were just joking, I didn't expect him to be so serious... Did you discover the new attribute of nature...

Thinking that once he had a fever, he made ice packs on the spot to cool himself down. It was funny and touching, and it was absolutely natural.

Jumping out of the memory, you recalled the incident of him handing tea and tissues today. It feels a little shameful, but it’s useless to think about it after it has happened. Alas, I regret not being more ladylike...

"Wait, why should I regret it? I've never been a lady in front of him either! He's just a top student I look up to! You have to adopt a shameless [bah] eager learning attitude towards the top student!"

"No, no, usually I'm not too reserved when I ask him questions... No, no, no, that's not the point!"

"The key is not to make him hate me... Otherwise, what can I do to save you, my mathematics!"

You fell asleep drowsily thinking about the dawn of the next day. Fortunately, it was the weekend, and you slept until noon before getting up to get yourself something to eat.

After washing up, I remembered why I stayed up all night last night.

Do you want to send an email?

Why am I so tangled up!Just apologize!I don't know please!

Could it be that the classmate had already forgotten it, but when I posted it, he remembered it again...

It seems that he cares about his thoughts very much, and he can't ignore it...Why don't you ask Aoi?No, I can't go out and talk nonsense about other people's family affairs...

In the evening, you finally make up your mind to apologize and start writing emails.

Two in the morning.

Help...I'm trying to sleep...but I haven't emailed yet...

You shouted weakly in your heart, and continued to delete, write, and delete.

Three in the morning.

You closed your eyes sleepily.

At noon the next day, you woke up to wash up with dark circles under your eyes, full of resentment in your heart, and you have been tossing about apologizing for two nights.

If you delay sleep because of this again tonight, you may get up straight away tomorrow, and you will be beaten up by the gas explosion at Hong Jiaodong, but it is also very likely to be beaten back or dragged out by the girls who are obsessed with him Beat up.

You feel that your behavior is too abnormal, and you care too much about Hong's apology.

Even if he hates you, you can still ask other bullies to ask questions, or simply change your mind from now on and listen carefully to the math class. Why bother with it too much, it’s just your back desk, and you’ll have to go your separate ways in less than a year .

Going their separate ways... Thinking of this, you actually feel a little sad.

He's really a good back desk...

Is it just the back table?It should be more than that.

After really getting in touch with Hong, I learned that he is gentle, innocent, and intelligent. He is not the high-cold male god in other people's mouths, nor is he the son of Andewa, who is No. 2 in the hero ranking. His most authentic side has formed with these Unexpected contrast.

But the most profound image in your mind is when you turn around and see him staring out the window in a daze.

The breeze was blowing, and the red and white hair moved with the wind, and the gray and blue eyes stared intently at the unknown scenery in the distance.

Perhaps as early as that time, this feeling called liking had already been buried.
