Chapter Seven, Love in Secret is Not Alone.
He said, "Okay, then let's slowly cultivate ambiguous feelings." He is very busy with his schoolwork, but he has never told her that many times he sacrificed his rest time just to chat with her.
Tang Qianxiao sat giggling in front of her desk, opened her computer, logged into Googletalk, and her only contact showed an offline status. For three years, every Saturday was her unwavering chat day. But today may be the last time she chats with him on Googletalk. Last week, he clearly told her to come online earlier this week, and she listened to him, but he hasn't come yet.
From the first day of chatting online, Tang Qian felt that she was beyond redemption. She finally admitted to herself that she had been secretly in love with Liang Wei Yuan. Sometimes she felt relieved that she and Liang Wei Yuan had developed a good tacit understanding. Every Saturday night, they would chat on Googletalk for a while, for three years. Sometimes she felt frustrated and even in pain, as there had been no progress in her relationship with Liang Wei Yuan other than the secret admiration over the past three years. When they chatted, most of the time it was her talking, and he always replied very briefly and plainly. She worried that he was too uninterested to bother typing more words for her. So she constantly racked her brains to think of interesting topics, trying to make every word, even particles, humorous and amusing. During this time, she dared not show the slightest hint of ambiguity, fearing that if her thoughts were revealed, she and he would not even be able to remain friends.
He stared at her without blinking and said, "Why don't we meet in person to talk things through? You have been teasing me for so many years, and now that I have developed such deep feelings for you, you want to run away. Tang Qian, let me tell you, I will not agree to anything you say!"
The teacher concluded with a solemn tone, saying, "Tang Qian, when you have free time, you should seek advice from your diligent classmates. Isn't Liang Weiyuan sitting right behind you? Learn from him more, otherwise, with your current grades, you shouldn't even think about getting into a good university!"
Upon hearing this news, Tang Qian felt a slight pang in her heart. She really didn't want to sit apart from Liang Wei Yuan. Over the past two years, she felt that she had developed a deep camaraderie with Liang Wei Yuan. During these two years, Liang Wei Yuan had said more to her than to any other classmate, and his words were always filled with emotion and color, even though they were usually expressed in a tone of doubt, such as "Did you learn your middle school English at the Blue Arrow Excavator Training Class?" "Do you plan to mix English phonetics and Chinese Pinyin for the rest of your life?" "Is your English grades always so mediocre because you want to prove that you love your country more than others?"
The next day, Tang Qian, sandwiched between her classmates who were expressing their gratitude, also mumbled a thank you to Liang Weiyan.
Okay, let's start with question two," said Liang Wei Yuan. As soon as he spoke, his desk mate collapsed to the ground with a loud crash, as if he had been betrayed by the whole world.
Actually, Tang Qian is not as uninterested in finding a boyfriend as her classmates perceive. The reason why she exudes an aura of purity and innocence, untouched by any hint of romantic interest, is simply because she has long had someone in her heart.

When he saw the friend request from her, he felt dizzy and as if he had just hit the jackpot.
He said he decided to take a week to brew it well. How should this explicit statement be interpreted?
On the day before the exam, Tang Qian was so anxious that she was almost restless. Liang Weiyuan's desk mate teased her, saying, "Tang Qian, do you not want to change seats because you have a crush on me?" Tang Qian almost choked on her own saliva.
Tang Qian stared at the poster in a daze for a minute. After one minute, the boss announced to everyone that the chastity crisis of the three virtuous young ladies had been completely resolved.
Speaking to himself, Jun slowly turned his head to look at Liang Weiyan, Tang Qian opened her mouth wide and said, "I think you're crazy, this is impossible!"
She asked tentatively, "Will you return to China for development in the future?"
After class, Tang Qian retrieved the yearbook and flipped to the page where Liang Weiyan left her a message. On the paper, there was a line of words written lightly: "Don't mention that I taught you English after graduation, I would feel embarrassed, like a useless piece of wood."
She really wanted to pick up that crumpled paper to see what it was, but the invigilator kept standing at the door, looking this way. She hesitated for a moment, gave up the idea of taking a risk, and returned to the examination room.
Tang Qian was full of excitement. She held the paper and rushed back to the exam room. She wanted to ask Liang Wei Yuan, what does this represent?!
For dinner that day, Tang Qian couldn't eat a single bite.
Tang Qian stared at him blankly. The evening glow spread diagonally across the doorway, shining with a dazzling golden light. Liang Weiyuan's tall figure stepped through the golden light, as if traversing through time and space, creating a dreamlike scene that was impossible to look away from.
Despite Liang Weiyuan's sharp tongue, she still wanted to sit in front of him. However, she silently examined her grades and realized that, except for English, she could barely compete with Liang Weiyuan. But with English, she would undoubtedly be abandoned by the first-class grade army and relegated to the second-class zone. Anxious emotions persisted for a month, during which Tang Qian almost ate her books while memorizing vocabulary and grammar. Despite her efforts, she still felt confused when answering the questions on the practice exam paper.
All day long, Tang Qian felt listless and lacked energy. Thinking about tomorrow's English exam and the disdainful look from Liang Weiyan, she really wanted to tear down the curtain and run to the restroom to cry. She thought Liang Weiyan would no longer bother with her, a fallen cheater. But unexpectedly, right before school ended, he poked her from behind.
Tang Qian did not go to find Liang Wei Yuan again because every time she crossed the distance of two rows to go to him and then come back, she felt an indescribable sense of loss and discomfort.
However...
“把你的练习册给我。”他凉凉地如是说,唐浅连忙把自己的练习册捧了过去。过了一会儿,练习册从后面飞回来,降落在她的课桌正中。
I don't know why, but after hearing this news, Tang Qian had a big appetite and ate a large bowl of rice for dinner.
From the moment Liang Weiyuan typed the first "www.hetushucom.com" on Googletalk, Tang Qian regarded all the boys around her as insignificant, like floating dust, and treated them as fleeting smoke. Uncontrollably, all her thoughts surged towards the person on the other side of the ocean from then on.
She stood in front of him panting heavily, asking him what was going on and how he ended up here?
Tang Qian once felt a sense of superiority, thinking she was special because the aloof academic overachiever, Liang Weiyuan, only explained problems to her. However, her smug sense of superiority was shattered in just three days. The culprit was none other than Liang Weiyuan's deskmate, Jun, who talked to himself.
This problem caused Tang Qian to experience a slight irregular heartbeat again. When she worried that her heart rate would accelerate until it failed and she died, Liang Wei Yuan's cold words cooled her heartbeat and allowed her to regain her health.

He didn't want his classmates to notice that he treated her differently, fearing that it would cause a commotion, so he started lecturing everyone. His desk mate was right, he only wouldn't frown when he was lecturing her.
Liáng Wéiyuǎn's voice came again, "I've marked the important parts for you, take a good look tonight." Táng Qiǎn was stunned, and when she turned her head abruptly to look, Liáng Wéiyuǎn had already walked to the classroom door.
The agonizing college entrance examination has finally come to an end.
He said his parents had long arranged for him to study abroad in university, and he wanted to ask her if she wanted to work hard together. However, she seemed to have given up on English. He thought that if she was interested in him, she would definitely make an effort to learn English. He was angry and unwilling, so he wrote a cold sentence in her yearbook to provoke her.
Classmates have gradually dared to come and ask questions. They increasingly feel that Liang Weiyuan's aloofness is just a facade, not from the heart. Although he would unconsciously furrow his brows before lecturing, everyone thinks it's just him pondering. Only Ziyu, speaking to himself, holds a different opinion: "Liang Weiyuan, why do you furrow your brows when lecturing to us, but not when lecturing to Tang Qian?"
He said he was too lazy to show his answer sheet to others. Why should people who don't study hard rely on plagiarism to get good grades without any effort? However, he was afraid that others would notice that he had given her the answers, so after coming back from the restroom, he showed the answer sheet to all the classmates around him. As a result, everyone copied the answers and got good grades, but she was still transferred away. After being transferred, she no longer asked him questions, which made him angry and he blamed everyone else. Since then, he no longer teaches anyone.
After reading this reply, Tang Qian felt sad and thought that she might not be able to hold on for much longer.
After waiting for a while, Liang Weiyuan still hadn't come online. Tang Qian became more and more anxious as she waited. She originally wanted to talk to him face to face and clarify things, but she was afraid that if she continued to wait, she would lose the courage to speak her mind.

However, when she returned to the exam room, Liang Weiyuan had already left. Meanwhile, the classmates who sat around him during the exam were praising him endlessly.
He said that during that English exam, he angrily said to the girl, "If you want to cheat, don't involve me." It was because at that time, he was confused by the words of the self-proclaimed "君" and actually thought that she didn't want to change seats because of his desk mate. But later, he thought again that no matter who she was doing it for, if he didn't pass her the answer, she would be moved to another seat. He really didn't want her to be moved because he had already gotten used to the days of being able to see her back. So, during the exam, when he saw her asking for permission to go to the bathroom, he also got up and followed her. It was the first time in his life that he went to the bathroom during an exam, and it was also the only time he ever passed an answer sheet to someone else.
Gradually, she heard her desk mate say, "Liang Wei is no longer explaining problems to his classmates. The reason is that the college entrance examination is approaching, and he has limited energy."
From now on, one after another, classmates began to try to ask questions cautiously. Everyone came with the psychological preparation of being rejected, but the result surprised everyone. Liang Weiyuan did not reject any classmate's questions.
The profile picture of Liang Weiyuan, who is currently offline, remains unchanged.
When she has nothing to do, she still talks to herself and tells jokes to the Self-Talking Lord. Every time she talks to herself, the Self-Talking Lord laughs so hard that he almost runs out of breath. However, Liang Wei Yuan never laughs, and sometimes he seems to find them boring. After she tells a joke, he immediately gets up and goes to the bathroom.
After graduating from high school, he went abroad. She secretly loved him, and after he went abroad, she always calculated the time difference and coincidentally encountered him online, and then they would chat. She was very cautious, afraid that he would notice her feelings and avoid her. He was indifferent and didn't say much. Before graduating from college, she felt tired and in their last chat, she told him: "I'm going on a blind date." A few days later, he appeared in front of her, dusty and exhausted, saying: "You've been teasing me for four years, and I've fallen for you. If you want to run away, I won't agree."
When the friend of the dormitory leader came to visit, he brought her a poster of Daniel Wu. On that copperplate paper, Daniel Wu selflessly bares his bronze chest, and his sexy muscles and scholarly demeanor make people's blood boil.
