Do you know the students from the student council? Or is it just a curious question

I do not know how to begin speaking

After class, most students have basically gone home with their backpacks, except for those in the third year of high school who are still in the classroom attending evening self-study. Only a few scattered individuals are walking around the school, mostly those who have just finished their duties or those who have delayed their tasks until now, hurrying towards the school gate while clutching their growling stomachs.

Photosynthesis

Just by listening to that emotionless voice, it was possible to discern that it was Jingxi.

Ah. It suddenly sounded as if something came to mind.

However, unexpectedly, the boy suddenly stopped in his tracks. She did not have time to steady herself, and after catching a faint fragrance, her head collided solidly against Jingxi's protruding spine, causing her to immediately step back awkwardly.

"It's nothing, just come to school with me tomorrow and everything will be fine." The phrase "it's nothing" was used twice like a tongue twister to comfort the girl

Lin Xiangnan felt his heart racing, and the book he was holding almost slipped from his grasp.

What kind of world is this

Lin Xiangnan sensed a shadow passing by her side at a distance of approximately five meters. By the time she turned to look with the utmost speed, it had already vanished. It seemed to have just hidden around the back corner of the building on the left.

Lin Xiangnan followed him quietly like a subordinate, occasionally Jing Xi would turn her head to check the distance between them, trying not to let it stretch too far

Lin Xiangnan was caught off guard by the pulsating sensation of nerves in her veins. In fact, during her few days in Beicheng, she felt a sense of relief at not having seen Yang Zhizhi.

From the entrance of the storage room, the silver gate-like door revealed no light within; the sky was so dark that even the moonlight was obscured. It was only then that Jingxi remembered that the teacher would have a gathering this evening, and had already finished work.

Lin Xiangnan looked at the well-defined silhouette of the boy under the dim yellow wall lamp. As he walked, the shadow on the ground swayed slightly and elongated, becoming soft and gentle.

"What happened?" Lin Xiangnan quickly responded this time.

I have never found the right opportunity to express my gratitude

Jing walked past her sideways, ignoring the girl's slightly surprised yet quickly returning to normal expression. Without raising his eyes, his tone remained as indifferent as ever: "Let's go home"

They returned from their business trip today and should be home now

It is not like what is portrayed on television, where a mother and daughter, after many years of separation, eagerly reunite and are still as emotionally overwhelmed as if it were just yesterday, shedding tears of joy.

Lin Xiangnan has been standing on the vast playground for at least several minutes since the final class bell rang. As the sky gradually darkens, she unconsciously squints at her watch, hesitating whether to ask a classmate where the storage room is.

Boys are all rough around the edges

She tucked the bangs that had fallen in front of her eyes behind her ear and lowered her head to follow.

She is both the closest mother to oneself and a stranger who is like a mere passerby. She may also be a curious person who ignites the flames of hatred in one's heart

Lin Xiangnan stood in place, sniffing a bit, feeling somewhat awkward. Suddenly, a small trickle of blood also surged from a certain part of his body, seeping into the soft sanitary pad.

I am a member of the student council

The spotlight in the distant grassland shines directly on the boy's uniform pants, refracting a faint glow, yet his face remains indistinct.

"What happened?" Lin Xiangnan stopped in his tracks, constantly turning his head, and Jing Xi also came to a halt.

"I have adapted, and it is much better now." After taking over the conversation, I hesitated for a moment, "That day, um, thank you."

Teacher ... ... '' As she watched the person pass right in front of her, she clutched the books that had fallen together in her hands and couldn't help but exclaim

I could only faintly hear his voice getting a bit closer, and after he deliberately cleared his throat and said, "You need to perform well..." he smoothly followed up with, "I understand, don't worry, teacher."

She is a girl

Lin Xiangnan also realized that there was no one in the storage room, feeling somewhat confused: "So if we go to school tomorrow, will we be penalized?"

Two figures, one tall and one short, merged together in front and behind. Lin Xiangnan squinted his eyes, and everything began to shimmer with a blurred halo

I am a new student, and I need to go pick up my school uniform now. Her voice was very soft, so I would like to ask the teacher where the supply room is

Please wait a moment

There is no reason to inexplicably investigate the past, but who could it be? Just now, I felt a strong sense of an unfriendly gaze. I have only been at this school for one day, and no one would secretly observe her like this. So, the girl that person is paying attention to, could it be Jingxi?

I understand

"Hmm, feeling better?" The place where he stopped happened to have light shining on his face. Lin Xiangnan thought he saw Jing Xi smile for a moment, but considering that he rarely smiled, it was better to treat such a nonchalant remark as an illusion.

A man resembling a teacher happened to pass by, followed by a slender youth whose face was not clearly visible

Coming to his senses, he quickly explained, "It's nothing, let's hurry up and go."

Beneath the quiet sound lies the piercing noise of glass shattering as it falls to the ground from the air

Winter seems to be a rather strange season; although it is the end of winter, the sky darkens in an instant. Lin Xiangnan observed the plump figure of the bespectacled teacher as he turned, contrasting sharply with the silent boy behind him, resembling a juxtaposition of bread and ham.

The boy shrugged: "Come back tomorrow."

In fact, when meeting in person after many years of not being together, the special bond of blood relation may create an awkwardness that leaves one unsure of how to respond

The sound of shoes scraping against the ground, Lin Xiangnan caught a faint scent of fresh grass as he walked towards her

The boy across from her turned his face away somewhat awkwardly, and involuntarily recalled the events of that day, causing his face to flush. Nevertheless, he spoke in a tone no different from usual: "No need." Before she could respond, he added, "Let's go, I'll take you to get your school uniform."

Uncle Hui drove to pick them up, so today I will take you back. It sounds like a suggestion, yet it also leaves the other party with no reason to refuse

It is you. That counts as a greeting

The person who was called turned their head, pushed up the glasses resting on their nose, and glanced at her: "Hey? Why aren't you wearing your school uniform? Do you know you could lose points for that?"

The gaze between her and Jingxi was too sharp and direct, leading Lin Xiangnan to be certain that he was not being overly sensitive.

Their arrival at the storage room and the process of preparing to leave resembled a dismembered scene, with two expressionless actors repeatedly performing ordinary segments in a corridor, while the director continuously called "cut." The audience, while watching the sample footage, might perceive it as a simple moment to be glossed over, yet the individuals involved, after being halted multiple times during the shoot, felt increasingly irritated by its excessive length

The reason I did not recognize him before was that I had never seen him in uniform, and the first button of the white shirt under the black coat was unbuttoned, with the collar resting on his slender collarbones

"Alright," she nodded and said softly. Somewhere in her heart, there was a sense of emptiness.

Jingxi did not look back, yet he knew that the girl's eyes were certainly sparkling with a sense of confusion, as if asking, "What is going on?"

Without waiting for a response, he quickly disappeared into the endless darkness, dragging his body with excessive fat behind him

The distance between the two individuals walking is neither far nor near. In terms of their status as classmates, there is a lack of casual gossip and conversation. When it comes to the nominal relationship of "siblings," they are even further apart, by a vast difference.

Then the teacher turned her head and waved to her, saying: "I have something to attend to, so let Jingxi take you. It is just right for him to introduce you to the campus of D."

The campus in D is stunningly beautiful. The teaching building and the Qiushi building are both designed in a European style, standing tall and straight, yet students continuously enter and exit with furrowed brows or laughter, as if they were strolling through a market. On the shortcut paths, colorful bricks cleverly serve as markers. Surrounding them are unnamed flowers and plants, with hidden grass patches adorned with glow-in-the-dark lights. The area of the rubber playground is so vast that it cannot be estimated by the naked eye; it can only be described as "Hmm, it is indeed very large".
