one

The standard movie lines drew quiet laughter from the crowd. Perhaps it was due to his lack of education, having barely attended elementary school. Lin Xiangyu's father was very dedicated to him, hiring foreign teachers with great expense from a young age to teach him three foreign languages, aspiring to cultivate his son into a talented individual

I don't know, but if one wants to achieve a high score, it is essential to write about ideals or similar topics

Is there something wrong with my aesthetic?

In the new class, all the students admire Hu Tao, who is not only beautiful but also excels academically, truly deserving of the title "goddess." Meanwhile, Lin Xiangyu has suddenly become the dream lover of all the girls in the school

"Who cares about your proof?" Hu Tao scoffed, "You should do a few more good deeds to truly prove your love for your parents"

If you don't want to achieve a high score, seriously speaking, how do you wish to spend your time

Lin Xiangyu innocently blinked his eyes and said, "Wait until I have a mouth full of gold teeth."

I really don't understand what he is thinking, Walnut. If I were a boy, I would definitely fall in love with you

After changing her clothes, Hu Tao took out a small comb from her backpack and brushed her bangs a couple of times

The originally intended pattern of one sentence in Chinese followed by one in English was temporarily altered by Lin Xiangyu, yet no one criticized him, and the applause was thunderous. Hu Tao, having completed her task by a stroke of luck, turned to look at Lin Xiangyu, the young man in a white shirt, who raised an eyebrow and was looking at her with a smile that was neither fully a smile nor a frown.

"It's a pity I didn't bring my camera, otherwise I should have taken a picture," as Hu Tao came down from the stage, Cheng Kexin continuously encouraged her, "It was especially beautiful!"

In the audience, Cheng Kexin gave a thumbs up to Hu Tao

Ah, Walnut, which option should I choose for this question

"Speak of the devil, and he shall appear." Just as the boy, who was about to go find Hu Tao for his homework, heard his name, he raised an eyebrow and said in a sinister tone: "Hmm? What bad things are you secretly saying about me?"

As the class bell rang, the students of Class 4 in the second year of high school buried their heads down, half of them slumping over.

The people around rolled their eyes at "Here we go again," accustomed to the bickering between Hu Tao and Lin Xiangyu, covering their ears and continuing to work on their problems

Cheng Kexin was caught off guard by Hu Tao's insight into her feelings. Blushing with embarrassment, she tugged at Hu Tao's school uniform sleeve, placed her finger in front of her lips to signal a "shh," and hurriedly glanced around, fearful of being overheard.

Cheng Kexin was very excited and nudged Hu Tao: "Hu Tao! Keep it up!"

"That makes sense." Cheng Kexin nodded with partial understanding, spread out the exam paper, and twisted off the cap of her pen, but when it came time to write, she found herself at a loss for words.

Cheng Kexin and Hu Tao have been desk mates for two years. As a girl in her adolescence, Cheng Kexin harbors a little secret in her heart, which leads her to whisper to Hu Tao every day. Hu Tao envies Cheng Kexin; she has a simple personality and has been pampered by her parents since childhood, having not experienced much hardship. Her greatest worry each day is failing her exams, but it is said that this is hardly a concern in her parents' eyes. The happiest moment for Cheng Kexin each day is seeing Lin Xiangyu, although Lin Xiangyu still confuses her with a girl in the class named "Cheng Keying".

Lin Xiangyu spoke decisively, looking into Hu Tao's eyes, and without any hesitation, blurted out, "I really want you to return the Jay Chou cassette tape that you took from me."

"Walk your own path, let others say what they will." Lin Xiangyu said with a resolute expression

Hu Tao was amused by her: "I think you should focus on finishing this English test before considering the end of the world."

Lin Xiangyu's ancestors were spendthrifts, squandering their wealth in a single day. By the time of his father, they struck it rich overnight through coal mining, becoming a well-known nouveau riche in the city. It is said that when his father first visited a luxury goods store, his first words were: "Bring out your most expensive items."

His body swayed, and the gold chain around his neck sparkled, almost blinding Walnut's eyes

When class started, Cheng Kexin was still covering her mouth, laughing uncontrollably.

This marks the fifth year since she met Lin Xiangyu

We should just go through it as it comes, for each of our days is ordinary yet also the most special

"If you don't invite, I won't return!" Hu Tao said stubbornly

Mentioning her parents, Kexin felt disheartened. She knew that her grades worried them greatly, so she picked up her pen and began to work on her English exam paper.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the sun shone brightly and gently upon his handsome face. Hu Tao hurriedly turned her face away, silently reciting in her heart: "I must be a cotton tree standing close to you, embodying the image of a tree alongside you."

"What are you daydreaming about? It's time to go back to class," Cheng Kexin tugged at Hu Tao's hem.

Which teenager is so fond of gold like you? Even fifty-year-old women no longer wear gold! Can you not have a bit of elegance?

Walnut is his exact opposite; she meticulously copied the entire poem onto the letterhead. However, just as she approached the microphone, she tripped over the cord, stumbled, and the manuscript in her hand slowly floated down to the stage.

Walnut pursed her lips and smiled: "What, is it that a boy can't like me just because he's not a boy?"

Kexin turned her head to look at the high ponytail of Hu Tao, swaying gently in the breeze of the fan, full of vitality. Hu Tao is widely recognized as a beauty, with almond-shaped eyes and red lips, and her figure is also exquisite and well-proportioned. A joke circulated among the grades: when they were studying the "Book of Songs" and came across the lines "The peach tree is young, its blossoms are bright," the Chinese teacher in Class 1 remarked, "Only Hu Tao from Class 4 deserves such praise."

Is there really anyone who can come to save your sense of aesthetics

So, when are you finally going to take off your big gold chain

A girl's delicate voice came through: "This is the Therebe construction, according to the principle of proximity, so you need to look at the noun that follows..."

My poor English is proof of my patriotism

Upon hearing his voice, Cheng Kexin tensed up and was too nervous to speak again, while Hu Tao secretly laughed at her lack of resolve: "A person of integrity need not fear a shadowy figure."

Hu Tao waved her hand apologetically

I find it quite amusing that the two of you can argue so passionately over trivial matters. In fact, I envy you for being able to speak to him freely and without restraint

"If you don't return it, then don't invite me!" Lin Xiangyu replied calmly and unhurriedly, maintaining his composure.

If today were the last day of your life, how would you spend it

Cheng Kexin lay on the table, twirling a mechanical pencil, and picked up the Chinese language exam paper: "An essay! Another essay! I hate writing essays the most! Eight hundred words! I can't even come up with enough!"

Not long after, the class bell rang. This was the second period on Monday, immediately followed by the weekly flag-raising ceremony. The girls hurried to the restroom to change into their uniforms, while those like Hu Tao, who were a bit lazier, simply hid under the desk, using Cheng Kexin to shield each other.

If I love you...

Indeed! Walnut, your language skills are excellent. Please tell me, where should I start from?

Cheng Kexin was afraid that Lin Xiangyu would misunderstand that she was also speaking ill of him, so she tugged at Hu Tao's clothing hem under the table. As Hu Tao took out her homework, she spoke up: "Lin Xiangyu, did you see today's Chinese composition? If today were the last day of your life, is there anything you would regret not doing before you die?"

In these five years, they graduated from junior high school and smoothly advanced to the high school division of No. 1 High School, transforming from former schoolmates into genuine classmates. In the new school, Hu Tao and Lin Xiangyu remained good friends, the best of friends. There were very few direct entrants to No. 1 High School, and as everyone grew up and became more understanding, no one remembered the controversial past they had endured together

Then, rephrasing the question, Cheng Kexin asked Hu Tao, "On the last day of your life, is there anything you most want to do?"

I am speaking to you seriously

"What is so funny?" Walnut shyly covered her face with a book

We share the cold tide, thunderstorm, and firebolt; together we partake in the mist, flowing haze, and rainbow. As if we are separated forever, yet we are eternally dependent on each other

Because we are just good buddies. "" Hu Tao shrugged nonchalantly

There is, Hu Tao put down the pen in her hand and nodded earnestly, "I really want Lin Xiangyu to make up for the braised pig trotters he owes me."

Hu Tao smiled apologetically, her gaze traversing the crowd to rest on Lin Xiangyu, who was turning his head to speak with Bai Dongyuan beside him. Yet, his voice still lingered in her ears.

No, no," Ke Xin hurriedly waved her hand to explain, "I mean, I will give you chocolate, buy you things you like, protect you, and give you the best of everything.

At this moment, Lin Xiangyu, standing beside her, naturally picked up the microphone: "If I love you, I will never emulate the climbing flower that flaunts itself by borrowing your tall branches—"

Then Hu Tao sat up straight and said to Lin Xiangyu: "Is it necessary to be sneaky when speaking ill of you?"

"Return my tape and I will treat you!" Lin Xiangyu said leisurely, a confident smile playing at the corners of his mouth

Lin Xiangyu, however, engages in banter every day, finding various ways to shirk responsibility. In front of his father, he speaks in a standard form of "Chglish" (Chinese-style English), but only Hu Tao knows that he is actually capable of speaking fluent British English.

During the flag-raising ceremony, there is a poetry recitation program, with each grade performing in turn. Hu Tao and Lin Xiangyu are the representatives of their grade. As soon as the two of them step onto the stage, they radiate brilliance.

"With our handsome Lin here, how could you bear to give the best to me?" Hu Tao teased her

"So profound?" Walnut stuck out her tongue

The boy's voice is deep like a cello, yet carries the unique clarity of youth, making one's heart flutter. He is wearing a neatly ironed white shirt, with the top two buttons undone, revealing his collarbone

... as if eternally separated, yet forever dependent on each other ...

Where is my braised pig's trotter? ! '' Walnut stared wide-eyed.

Hu Tao stood awkwardly, staring wide-eyed at the microphone, her voice caught in her throat, unable to utter a single word due to her nervousness

While diligently organizing her English notes, Walnut looked up and smiled at her deskmate, asking, "What topic?"

Then he handed the microphone to Hu Tao, who instinctively opened her mouth and said: "If I love you, I will never be like the infatuated bird, repeating monotonous songs for the green shade"

"Forget it, if this is your only hobby, I won't take it away from you." Lin Xiangyu waved his hand in a manner that suggested "a grown-up does not hold grudges against a petty person"

This time, they chose Shu Ting's "To the Oak Tree". Lin Xiangyu translated the Chinese part of the walnut reading into English
