Su Jingnian said that at that time he vowed to become very handsome in the future, and then Marry me

Su Jingnian has been too good to me, to the extent that I have overdrawn my future happiness

Thus, I shook my head and handed the paper back to Su Jingnian.

Looking at someone as handsome as Su Jingnian, one would never imagine that he was a chubby child in his younger years; to be precise, he could be described as a ball, moving as if he were rolling along.

Su Jingnian glanced at me and then replied, "I won't go, you all can go ahead." After saying this, he shoved a book into my hand and then took a taxi away

Hearing him say this, I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride

Su Jingnian said somewhat shyly: "Because I hope my wife is a fairy, and at that time I thought you were just like a fairy."

The happiest thing is that the two schools are very close to each other, allowing us to play together often

Zhuang Li belongs only to the past; in the present, only Su Jingnian truly exists

Being together with someone, I have finally experienced the beauty of love

I wanted to go wake her up, but Su Jingnian stopped me. He placed his index finger on his lips and made a "shh" gesture, looking incredibly enticing. To my surprise, I nodded as if possessed and did not wake Sun Qing.

If I had known that being with Su Jingnian would lead to so many events, I would rather not have this happiness

Su Jingnian's voice has been lingering in my ears, reminiscent of the soft dialect of Jiangnan. I do not know why, but whenever I see his profile, I always think of Zhuang Li; perhaps their profiles both belong to that strikingly beautiful type.

Suddenly, a gentle palm covered my eyes, and tears soaked his palm

The air is filled with an ambiguous atmosphere

Su Jingnian is indeed dazzling, even if he only carries a gentle glow, it makes people hesitant to reach out.

In that moment, before I could react, he suddenly embraced me and said intermittently: "You... promised... so you cannot go back on your word..."

I must look forward. It is no longer possible for Zhuang Li and me, and I am not foolish enough to remain chaste for Zhuang Li, naively relying on memories to support my future

Su Jingnian was also looking at me, waiting for my response

When he hesitantly handed me a photo from his childhood, I finally believed that there indeed was such a person during his early years, but the difference is just too great

At the sound of the starting gun, Su Jingnian shot out like an arrow released from its bow. Despite his frail appearance, he ran with remarkable speed. The other competitors, on the other hand, leisurely followed behind, as if they were determined to create opportunities for Su Jingnian.

Perhaps. Originally, I intended to throw the bookmark into the trash can, but for some reason, when I reached the trash can, I turned back and placed the bookmark into my wallet

My answer

My face flushed crimson as I stared intently at the words on the page, yet my mind was lingering on the fleeting sensation from just a moment ago

Well, I admit that when my senior said this, I still felt a sense of vanity in my heart

I said with a smile that he is precocious, knowing at such a young age about marrying a wife

I am not Xiao Erduo, and Su Jingnian is certainly not Xu Yi

I had no idea that Su Jingnian had declined Sun Qing's invitation before extending one to me. At that moment, I dared not look into Sun Qing's eyes, as if I had done something wrong

People in the dormitory all say that if one does not experience a romantic relationship during university, then attending university is in vain. If there are no other options, Su Jingnian is the best choice. If one is to be in a relationship, then so be it; after all, whether one is idle or single, it amounts to the same.

It was only after entering university that I realized many people had loved others without being together. This reality is so complex; as we grow older, the world we see becomes broader, and the number of people we encounter increases. This inevitably leads to the conclusion that it is impossible for a person to love only one individual throughout their life

His confession was devoid of embellishments, nor was there a lengthy buildup; he simply approached me with a microphone, expressing his heart with sincere and straightforward words

I could not help but run in front of him, stopping him, and said: "Su Jingnian, I promise you"

In winter, he is unwilling for me to wash my clothes with cold water in the dormitory, fearing that my hands might develop frostbite. Therefore, he always collects my dirty clothes and takes them to the dry cleaner, then brings them back to me. He is willing to set aside his own dignity to run errands for me.

The next day, Sun Qing invited both me and Su Jingnian to the library in the city to study. The three of us found a quiet corner and worked on our assignments together

Su Jingnian handed over a piece of paper, on which there were function formulas, and he indicated for me to draw the function graph

I withdrew my hand from Su Jingnian's grasp and said softly, "You have given me something to think about."

To be honest, I really cannot graph such a complex function

However, what I did not expect was that on the first day of university, I encountered Su Jingnian, who had also been admitted to the same school as I was

Whenever Su Jingnian is mentioned in the dormitory, a happy smile always appears on my face

One day, Su Jingnian invited me to the city library to borrow books. I sat on the floor leaning against the bookshelf, reading the novel "Left Ear." Seeing me so engrossed, Su Jingnian surprisingly borrowed a copy of "Left Ear" as well and sat beside me to read together.

Later, I recalled a scene from my youthful years that always evokes a sense of nostalgia. Because I was too young, I naively believed that beautiful things were inherently good, such as Su Jingnian

Su Jingnian attended a public school. According to Sun Qing, he was an outstanding student in both character and academics, and was favored by both teachers and parents, living continuously in a dazzling halo.

The time in the third year of high school passes quickly, and before I knew it, the college entrance examination was upon us. During the exam, I performed well and was admitted to a key university, while Sun Qing only managed to get into a vocational school

Su Jingnian nodded without hesitation and registered at the last minute, and no one said he had broken the rules

It was during the school's autumn sports meeting when I was pulled by a senior from the sports department to be a cheerleader. I said I didn't know how to cheer, and the senior replied, "Just standing at the finish line is the best way to cheer for those boys."

I am very surprised by this. It turns out that my connection with Su Jingnian began as early as kindergarten. I suspect he is speaking nonsense and have asked him to produce childhood photos.

This novel is truly captivating, with characters that are all so remarkable. Li Ba La is bold in love and hate, while Xiao Er Duo is stubborn and persistent. Their youth is indeed our youth as well

In the few memories I have, I only remember that at that time, Su Jingnian was particularly unpopular among the children, and none of the other children wanted to play with him, except for me. In fact, at that time, I also did not want to play with a chubby boy, but unfortunately, the teacher always called on me to play games with him

Being with him brings me happiness

Being with Su Jingnian, I will seal all my memories with Zhuang Li deep within my heart and focus on dating Su Jingnian

This book made my tears flow uncontrollably

Sun Qing curiously snatched the book, casually flipping through its pages, when a bookmark accidentally fell out. Sun Qing picked it up and saw that a few words were written on the back of the bookmark: The graph of a function is what I want to express

I stared wide-eyed at the heart shape in the coordinate system, feeling somewhat amused and perplexed. However, Su Jingnian's words were quite strange; should I remember something?

But how can a person always live in the past

Su Jingnian explained lightly, "Once the matters were finished, I happened to encounter her, so we came together. Moreover, I remember what you said, and I also borrowed some books for you." After he finished speaking, he raised the study materials in his hand.

As he ran past me during the last half lap, I could sense his consciousness becoming increasingly blurred

Just as Zhang Yang leaned close to Xiao Erduo's ear, Su Jingnian similarly whispered a sentence in my ear

He made a few strokes and then handed the drawing to me, whispering in my ear: "Ding Lanyin, how could you forget me?"

I nodded vigorously

Perhaps I did not realize it at the time, but when I read about Xiao Erduo secretly watching Xu Yi, I understood that I too once had such a gaze—filled with expectation, desire, admiration, and also fear

Su Jingnian let out a low laugh, radiating brilliance.

Su Jingnian seemed a bit embarrassed, straightened his posture, and his ears gradually turned red

At this moment, the entire playground quietly fell into a harmonious silence

I wore an expression of helplessness

It turns out that I had known Su Jingnian for a long time. After a month of acquaintance, Su Jingnian asked me if I remembered him, and I said I did not know. He then told me that we were in the same kindergarten when we were children

That function graph has been studied by Sun Qing, and she has spent a considerable amount of time on it

Every morning, Su Jingnian would buy breakfast and wait for me downstairs at the girls' dormitory, and then we would go to class together. During meals, he would always thoughtfully ask me what I wanted to eat before making a decision. When watching movies, he wouldn't just focus on the screen; at times, he would suddenly lean over, kiss my cheek, and laugh mischievously.

He looked at the hands that were holding each other, smiled and said: "This is my answer, what about yours?"

Su Jingnian endures me, allows me, and accommodates me, while also taking great care of me

Sun Qing jumped three zhang high, holding me and said cheerfully: "Ayin, you are truly clever"

As the broadcast announced, "Male athletes running 1,500 meters, please report to the registration area," I saw Su Jingnian snatch the microphone, walk towards me, and seriously ask, "Ding Lanyin, would you be willing to be my girlfriend"

I turned around and asked, "Should I remember anything?"

At this moment, my lips almost brushed against Su Jingnian's nose. I was so close to him that I could even smell the faint mint fragrance on him, and his eyes were more radiant than the stars at the edge of the sky

In fact, I like and admire Su Jingnian. He is too perfect, and it is hard to find any flaws; there should be no one who does not like him. I once loved Zhuang Li, and I cannot forget him, after all, he was the first boy I dated and also the first boy who kissed me. Perhaps I will never be able to forget him even after a long time.

My position was not far from the podium, so I could see Su Jingnian's eyes. I seemed to be enchanted as I said: "If you win first place in the 1,500 meters, I will agree to you"

Her complexion instantly became extremely unnatural

When I read the part where Xu Yi appears, I suddenly burst into tears, as it reminded me of Zhuang Li, who has been missing for a long time

She reinserted the bookmark into the book, handed it over, and forced a smile as she said, "It seems that Su Jingnian likes you"

Perhaps Su Jingnian felt that the wait was too long, and before I could provide an answer, he made a grand confession at school

During the first lap, Su Jingnian was in excellent condition. However, as he entered the second lap, his complexion grew increasingly pale, and his steps became slower. By the third lap, he was on the verge of collapse, ready to fall at any moment, yet he still gritted his teeth and persevered

Su Jingnian's hand and Zhuang Li's hand are completely opposite; one is warm, the other is cold. Perhaps those who understand will choose to hold that warm hand

Sun Qing looked at me with a questioning gaze, seeking confirmation

The cube of the difference between the square of X and the square of Y minus 1 is equal to the product of the square of X and the cube of Y

Surprisingly, a heart shape was drawn

The figure of Zhuang Li departing indifferently has once again appeared in my mind

After finishing this book and borrowing a few others, I left the city library with red-rimmed eyes. Just as I walked out the door of the city library with Su Jingnian, I ran into Sun Qing. She was holding a stack of books, seemingly also there to borrow books from the city library. The first thing she said upon seeing Su Jingnian was: "I asked you to come to the city library to help me borrow some reference books, didn't you say you were busy? How come you came with A Yin?"

In order to prevent Sun Qing from overthinking, I could only nod. Although her expression softened considerably, she still appeared somewhat unhappy. She suggested, "Let's go have a meal together."

Every time we studied together, Sun Qing would initially hold the book and read it attentively. However, after a short while, her upper eyelids and lower eyelids began to battle, and eventually, she simply hugged the book and fell asleep on the table.

The second semester of the third year of high school began in a tense atmosphere of study, and Sun Qing had fallen significantly behind in her studies. Every time I explained a problem to her, she always seemed unable to remember it. I patted her on the shoulder and unconsciously suggested, "Why not ask Su Jingnian to help you with tutoring?"

He said: "Ding Lanyin, I hope you remember me, just as Xiao Erduo can never forget Xu Yi"

That day, I was studying how to get to the girls' dormitory when suddenly a warm hand grasped mine. I was startled at first, and when I turned around, I realized it was Su Jingnian, smiling like a mischievous child who had just succeeded in a prank
