Section 4

Have you been in trouble?" asked Xia Xiaoju, "You look like a little thug.

Oh, I have also heard that one should shave their hair once during childhood. Cheng Lang touched the hairline above his neck, saying, "Some children keep a lock of hair as a longevity braid. It is said that this way, the newly grown hair will be better."

Xia Xiaoju stared at his three-dimensional face, giggling with a sense of relief

Xia Xiaoju flipped through the astrology book for a while. She and Le Tao had a strong rapport, neither of them inquiring about whom the other liked. All she knew was that the person was a male with a solid geometry background, a nose that was a nose and eyes that were eyes, and also, deep brown hair. She recalled Le Tao's various behaviors and was very worried that the person her friend cared about was also Cheng Lang.

"Hehe, no wonder you go to the restroom between every class," Le Tao said with a sly smile. "It's because you pass by the 'Cloze Test' classroom, right, and happen to run into them."

"Damn, wrongfully accused!" He shook his head, "My great-grandmother was a White Russian. Speaking of which, I have one-eighth foreign blood in me. She was a stunning beauty." He pinched his own nose, "Look at my nose bridge, it's higher than all of yours, isn't it?"

It seems that Le Tao has been holding back for a long time. She grasped her tightly and described in detail how she becomes anxious when she cannot see him, sometimes going an entire day without a chance to encounter him, feeling lost and worried that he might be ill or in some trouble. When she finally saw him after school that evening, she walked straight up to him. He did not recognize her, laughing and joking with his friends as they brushed past each other. She lamented that she was too good at fantasizing, often mistaking imagined events for reality. "I always thought we were already very good friends, because it seemed like we had talked countless times," Le Tao sighed, "but when faced with him in person, I realized he doesn't even know my name." She added, "Alas, can you understand? I don't even feel like myself anymore."

Xia Xiaoju perked up: "Is it from our class?"

Whose facial features are not three-dimensional? Xia Xiaoju laughed and said, "No one would like a flat monitor."

Deep black hair, tinged with the luster of the sun

After chatting for nearly an hour, Xia Xiaoju's left leg went numb, so she turned to her right side. Her mother came over and pushed her, saying: "Why are you wriggling around like a worm? You see Le Tao every day and have been talking for so long, doesn't the phone at home cost anything?"

No

I could have guessed that with my toes. In this way, I will come out to train a bit later tomorrow, and you can go to the playground and call him, saying that I was called by some chemistry, language, English, or math teacher for a talk, and ask him to help me request a leave from Lao Guo.

I see you've been quite troubled lately, how did you end up being targeted by Old Lady Yin?" Xia Xiaoju collapsed onto the sofa, casually turned on the television, where the female supporting character was crying and desperately trying to keep the male lead, mostly ending in failure

When Jue Tao answered the phone, she was incredibly lazy. After chatting for a moment about homework, she covered the microphone and I could vaguely hear her impatiently say, "I know, I know, aren't I discussing the homework?" She then complained to Xiao Ju, "It's my mom, she's going through menopause, nagging me every day"

If we like the same person, what should we do?" Jue Tao bit her nails

I want to see Cheng Lang's face, but I have forgotten the distribution of his features. However, he has already turned around under the scolding of Old Man Guo, leaving only his upright silhouette

Xia Xiaoju couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Classmate, how old are you?"

Some people say that speaking from the heart is still comforting. After the training ended, Xia Xiaoju sat beside Le Tao on the playground, discussing whether "solid geometry" and "cloze tests" would appear in their line of sight. Le Tao hugged her knees, pouting as she tried hard to blow her beautiful bangs: "I might never say a word to him in my whole life, just thinking about it makes my heart ache."

Just say you have a guilty conscience, and pretend it was a chance encounter

It was enough to leave Xia Xiaoju entranced.

Are there any other individuals in the training team, besides Cheng Lang, who can attract the attention of girls

Fortunately, 'solid geometry' and 'cloze test' are not the same person. '' Xia Xiaoju let out a sigh of relief

I also had my胎毛 cut, yet my hair is still yellow, which is truly unfair. Huang Jun approached, his deep brown hair shining much more brightly in the sunlight.

"You haven't fallen into the whirlpool of love, becoming increasingly entangled and unable to extricate yourself, have you?" She mimicked the tone from the television, chuckling softly.

Do you know who it is

I will give it to you. She rushed over and hugged Xia Xiaoju, saying, "We are the best of friends. Sisters are like siblings, and husbands are like clothes"

That was truly an innocent era that she would reminisce about endlessly in the years to come

"Indeed, it is quite bothersome," Le Tao sighed

"How greedy of you to want to talk to several people at the same time!" Xia Xiaoju exclaimed

I am afraid that he might suspect it

She said, I somewhat like him. However, I will not easily speak of love

Mother tapped her head: "As soon as I arrived, you pretended to be studying. Hurry up and do your homework!"

If her family were to find out that they were openly discussing boys, it would be a grave sin deserving of severe punishment. Therefore, they gave her a nickname; the one named Letaona was called "Solid Geometry" because she remarked that boys have distinct facial features with three-dimensional contours.

Words like 'like' should be cherished in the heart, greeting each other during school hours, complemented by training, much like afternoon tea accompanying the three daily meals. Xiaojun requires little and is easily satisfied. If one were to truly connect this attention and affection, she herself would be at a loss.

Xia Xiaoju readily agreed. When discussing her friend's emotional issues face to face, she would feel even more shy and awkward than the person involved, fearing that a single turn of phrase might lead the other party to inquire about her own feelings.

The triangular pyramid in solid geometry

Then you would be much happier. Xia Xiaoju suddenly said with great enthusiasm: "Then create an opportunity to get to know him, at least say hello, so you won't be sighing all the time. Come on, I'll help you!"

Then why call him and not others

Girls who resonate with each other can easily discern who holds a special place in the other's heart. What seems to be deeply hidden thoughts become apparent with just a little attention

Sigh, it has long been... not just a day or two.

Xia Xiaoju, feeling utterly embarrassed, tossed aside her dictionary and called Le Tao, seeking to digest both her food and her pent-up grievances. She knew that Le Tao was certainly waiting for her call. Just moments ago, while riding her bike home, she had hesitated to speak; although she clearly wanted to inquire about the content of Old Lady Yin's lecture, she instead said, "Let's talk about it over the phone."

She touched her hair: "Indeed, it is a bit yellow, because I did not have my first haircut when I was a child"

Xia Xiaoju felt a slight unease; she could clearly recall the appearance of the elderly woman selling tea eggs at the school gate and the dark color of her cooking pot, yet she could not remember the color of Cheng Lang's hair at all. In her memory, his features were all blurred.

Xia Xiaoju felt fortunate that she did not have to make such a choice. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, during the blossoming years of youth, she still did not know how to weigh love against friendship. Especially the so-called love, which remained a distant concept.

Just the thought of this person, even if it's just a name, is enough to make Xia Xiaoju smile foolishly. The new code name for him. As a result, an entire set of English exercise books has become endearing.

"Definitely older than you, yellow-haired girl"

I don't know," he shook his head, "what do you think?

"Sure." Xia Xiaoju hesitated for a moment and said, "I also have something to tell you."

Xia Xiaoju stuck out her tongue and bid farewell to Le Tao: "Well, let's discuss that solid geometry problem tomorrow."

On the second day before training, the physical education teacher organized the team members to rehearse the entrance ceremony formation. Cheng Lang was called out to hold the school flag. He stood at the front, hearing the command "Big arm, forward—align" and placed his hands on his hips, resembling the leader of a line of elementary school students.
