Confession (Ying Cheng) - Chapter 94

In August, midsummer, the cicadas cried very well.

Zhou Jingze and Xu Sui respectively received invitations for the 100th anniversary of the high school and were invited to attend the celebration as celebrities of Tianhua Middle School.

It was very hot that day, Zhou Jingze and Xu Sui returned to the sky.

At the school gate, students in green and white uniforms rode their bicycles and rang the crisp bells and passed them. A group of boys wearing jerseys on the basketball court ran back and forth in the sun, and the shadows were prolonged.

It seems to be back to the high school era all at once.

Zhou Jingze and Xu Sui walked side by side. He raised his hand and picked a leaf above his head. He glanced at the students who were still answering the questions on the road, and raised his eyebrows:

“Summer vacation too?”

Xu Sui smiled and replied: “Make up a lesson, you forgot, we all came here like this.”

“Tsk, it’s miserable.” The young master commented.

The school’s centennial celebration was set up in the auditorium. When Zhou Jingze and Xu Sui went in, they were performing on stage. The head teacher who taught them is still the same, with a Mediterranean hairstyle, smiling like a Maitreya Buddha.

The school leader was also there, and Zhou Jingze led Xu Sui over to greet him politely.

As soon as the school director saw Zhou Jingze, he called out his name accurately, and when he caught a glimpse of Xu, he was stunned at any time, and couldn’t think of the name.

It was the class teacher who answered: “She was Xu Sui. She was the most well-behaved and quiet girl in our class. She was second in the college entrance examination, just behind Zhou Jingze!”

The school director suddenly realized that he patted his head: “Look at my memory, when I think about it, it’s because your kid is too swagger at school and fights every day to cause trouble. It’s hard to remember it.”

Zhou Jingze twitched the corners of his mouth casually, but did not refute.

“Fortunately, you are a good person and you are on the right track.” The school director turned to the podium and smiled. “Don’t go up and say a few words? Share your successful experience with the younger students.”

Zhou Jingze put his hands in his pockets, in a sloppy posture, and said in a lazy tone: “Don’t, I just went to play games and fall in love in high school. You let me go up. This is not a mistake.”

“You kid,” the school director clicked on him with his hand, and turned to Xu Sui in a helpless tone. “After the school celebration is over, there will be a lecture. Xu Sui will go up and share with the students his experience in preparing for the college entrance examination. It’s long, it’s only twenty minutes.”

“Ah, good.” Xu Sui nodded, she has never been good at rejecting people.

The student lecture was in another ideological and political building. After a few words of greeting with several teachers, Zhou Jingze left the auditorium.

The trees on both sides of the campus walkway are lush, covering the sky, the branches and leaves grow wildly, and the sun leaks from the gaps in the leaves, and the place is mottled. The two walked in tandem on the road, she walked in front, and Zhou Jingze followed behind.

The main reason is that Xu Sui likes to stop and go, and finds it novel to see that the school has renovated a piece of turf and changed a green mailbox.

Zhou Jingze walked slowly behind with his hands in his pockets, wondering if he was dressed very young today, or if he was born into trouble, walking on the road attracted the attention of many girls.

“That man is so handsome, his back kills me.”

“The face is also very nice, okay, and his hands, good fellow, how come I haven’t seen his profile on the school forum.”

“Sun, when I saw him, I suddenly felt that the boys on the basketball court were abysmal. That’s right.”

Soon, some daring girls took the initiative to talk to Zhou Jingze. They were wearing obviously shortened skirts and school uniforms that tightened their waistlines. A girl with curly chestnut hair called him: “Senior.”

Zhou Jingze paused and saw that there were no other people around. He turned around and pointed at himself with his thumb, feeling funny: “Call me?”

“Yes.” The girl took the initiative to take out her mobile phone, her blue cat-eye nails flashed in the sun, her voice was pretty, “Senior, can I add a WeChat account? Be a friend.”

Zhou Jingze raised his eyelids and looked at someone standing not far away under the mailbox who was eavesdropping but pretending to be quiet. He smiled, raised his chin, and spoke the most in a lazy tone. Unfeeling words:

“Not very capable, you have all your seniors and wives.”

Zhou Jingze raised his finger and pointed to Xu Sui who was not far away signaled that his girlfriend was there.

“Senior, I just chatted with your dean of the Academic Affairs Office. He said he would increase the control of mobile phones. Your mobile phone—”

The girl’s face changed drastically, she hurriedly squeezed her mobile phone, and smiled awkwardly: “I remember that there are still test papers missing, so let’s leave the senior!”

The girls ran past them hand in hand, Zhou Jingze walked forward to hold Xu Sui’s hand, was avoided by her with a smile, and said in a serious manner:

“This senior, please respect yourself.”

Zhou Jingze pressed her tongue against her left cheek, grinned, and grabbed the back of her neck, with the palm of her hand stuck on it. He was about to clean her, when someone called him not far away.

Zhou Jingze and Xu Sui turned their heads and saw that it was the security guard at the school gate. He was still there for more than ten years, guarding their sky in the wind and rain.

He walked over, flicked a cigarette out of the cigarette case and handed it to the uncle security guard, and started chatting with him. What Xu Sui admired was that Zhou Jingze was really charming, and even the uncle security guard at the school could be a friend.

Xu accompanied Zhou Jingze with a gesture, indicating that she was going to give a speech at the Sizheng Building, and would call him when it was over. The man bit the cigarette in his mouth, touched her and nodded.

In the Sizheng Building, Xu Sui has been giving speeches in front of a thousand audiences since the beginning of university, so she is less nervous when facing her younger brothers and sisters.

She stood on the stage calmly and confidently and generously shared her experience in preparing for the college entrance examination. In the end, Xu Sui encouraged everyone present:

“For the kind of person you want to be, what you want to do, just be firm in achieving it.”

There was thunderous applause from the audience, time is indeed a good thing, and Xu Sui can no longer see the girl who walks with her head down and is shy and inferior.

The speech quickly ended. The following is a free questioning session. In the audience, a girl was sitting in the last row and raised her hand high, but her face was blocked by the boy.

Xu Sui ordered the chestnut-haired girl to ask questions. After the girl stood up, she realized that the other person was the one who asked Zhou Jingze for the number under the plane tree just now.

The chestnut-haired female voice hugged her arms and ran into her adolescently. She asked loudly, with a domineering tone: “Senior sister, I heard that you only took second place in the college entrance examination that year. Why did you come to share your successful experience?”

The originally noisy lecture hall calmed down, and the atmosphere seemed tense. Xu Sui was not annoyed when he stood on the podium. Instead, he smiled quietly:

“I was second in the exam, yes, but I caught up to the first place in the school.”

As soon as the voice fell, the audience burst into violent applause and screams. Someone shouted, “Senior sister, great!”, and because of Xu Sui’s words, the atmosphere of boys and girls began to commotion, and some people took advantage of the situation to say their own voices. “Senior sister, then I have the motivation to enter the university!”.

The atmosphere was rotating, and someone asked, “Sister Xu, why do you want to go to the Medical University?”

Xu Sui thought about it seriously, and remembered that someone smiled unconsciously on his face: “I, I went to the Medical University because I was alone.”

After speaking, the atmosphere became even hotter. A serious preaching conference turned into a gossip press conference, and some people even knocked on the table with test papers to show their excitement.

Amidst the roar, Xu Sui slowly raised his eyes and saw Zhou Jingze leaning lazily against the back door, his posture insulting, he was also looking at her, his eyes hot and tight.

With a heart move, Xu Sui ran off the podium, trot all the way to Zhou Jingze, and slammed into the man’s arms amidst shocking eyes and whistles.

And he stretched out his arms from beginning to end, caught the person steadily, smiled and embraced him tightly.

After the lecture, Xu Sui and Zhou Jingze returned to the classroom where they used to study. They were still familiar with Grade One (3). The desks were still light yellow with a little paint off. On the left side of the blackboard there was a flowing red flag, a white ceiling fan, and a green curtain. There is summer.

Suddenly, there was a wind, and the test paper was rustling. Xu Sui walked to the stage, took a chalk and wrote on the blackboard, and wrote on it stroke by stroke:

Senior one (three) class

Zhou Jingze and Xu Sui

The two names are close together like permutations and combinations.

No longer was Xu Sui secretly cheering for a whole day because of sweeping the floor because someone had placed the two names in the same corner, she now wrote the names of the two generously.

The two went out of the classroom and went down the stairs together. Xu Sui looked at the mottled corner of the wall and remembered something, and whispered softly, “Do you remember one time when I hurried upstairs with a book in my hands during a breaktime exercise, I accidentally bumped into it? For a moment, I apologized to you. You were with a large group of people, but you didn’t even look at me.”

At that time, the dream bubble fell, and Xu Sui was extremely lost.

It sounds like this is indeed something Zhou Jingze would do.

Zhou Jingze’s voice was low and she grabbed her arm, and said with a smile, “I don’t remember, show me it again?”

Maybe the weather was too hot that day, the atmosphere was too good, or the man in front of him was too handsome, Xu Sui looked up at him, and obsessedly agreed to do this stupid thing.

Sunlight sprinkled from the window sill, was cut into tiny spots and fell on the stairs. The shadows of the trees outside shook, and the scent of camellia drifted in along the wind.

Xu Sui looked down at the road and hurried up the stairs. The man just came down the stairs. She tried to recall the scene at that time. It should be from this angle. She ran into Zhou Jingze once again and raised her eyes and said seriously:

“At the time I bumped and the book fell out. I apologized, and finally you passed me by.”

After hitting him, when Xu Sui lowered his head and was about to evacuate to pick up a book, the man violently grabbed her. Xu staggered into his warm chest.

The clear mint smell came from Zhou Jingze, and Xu Sui’s lips knocked on his clavicle, her elbow pressed against his chest, she raised her eyes painfully, and ran into a pair of dark and deep eyes.

The man laughed frantically, his breath was warm, and his low voice rang in his ears:

“Isn’t this caught?”

Xu Suiren hadn’t reacted yet, and a cold and beautiful proposal ring was slowly pushed into his fingers, caught off guard but very heartbeat.

A heart was about to jump out of the chest cavity, and even the blood under the skin layer was extremely hot.

Xu Sui carefully looked at the ring between her fingers, and the diamond embedded in it folds dazzlingly under the sunlight coming in. She also carefully discovered that the abbreviations of the two people’s names were engraved on the side: X&Z.

Zhou Jingze lowered his head and kissed her knuckles, his voice was as clear and clean as a teenager, his eyes locked tightly, and he laughed:

“Hello, Mrs. Zhou.”

Zhou Jingze is dressed very young today, a black hooded sweater, a sharp head and neck, white sneakers, showing an ankle, a straight body, high brows, and his eyes are still clean, just like that boy.

It’s a bit bad to laugh, but the scorn is more reliable than anyone else, and it’s gentle and exciting.

Xu Sui looked at him and smiled slowly.

I love you frivolous and magnanimous, and your eyes are bright when you laugh; I love you, standing there, telling me that the world is still good.

Back in the summer of 2007, in an unusually hot break between classes, many people swarmed up the stairs after doing break exercises. Everyone rubbed their arms. The summer was wet and even sweat was sticky.

The boys and girls were drowsy by the sun, some people held a bottle of mineral water on their faces on the steps, and of course some people were chasing and playing in the stairwell.

Someone bought a box of ice watermelon from the canteen and went upstairs while skewing it in his mouth.

Xu Sui ran upstairs with a thick stack of books, and casually looked up from the corner. The boy was wearing a loose black T-shirt with a loose smile on his face, and his skeletal hands were placed between the trousers. Above, the tattoo on the back of the hand is obviously arrogant.

He was going downstairs with a group of people, chatting and laughing in the crowd, the expression on his face was always easy to do.

Xu Suixin tensed, hurriedly retrieved the information, lowered his head to go upstairs, his fingertips holding the book were trembling, and his body was unconsciously taut. Unexpectedly, the accident happened in the next second.

The boy struggling in the stairwell ran into Xu Sui from behind, and she slammed into the boy on the side uncontrollably. A heart was beating like a drum. At that time, he felt he was too thin and his bones were a bit awkward, but the temperature from his shoulders was hot.

Books fell to the ground one by one.

Xu Sui’s blush spread to the roots of his ears, and his voice was faint and mosquitoes: “I’m sorry.”

I don’t know if it was too noisy between classes or the boys didn’t care. He didn’t keep his eyes on the girls for an extra second, and continued to talk and laugh with others, passing her by.

The gloomy emotions crossed my heart, Xu Sui lowered his eyelashes and knelt down to pick up the book silently.

The boy listened to his companion complaining that he didn’t bring a basketball, then he stopped afterwards and turned his head to look at her.

The teenager looked back, and the sun was shining behind him. He saw the girl who was wearing a green and white school uniform with a ponytail and showing a nice curved face. She squatted down and was picking up a book. Her skin was milky white. At a glance, he saw the round white and tender earlobe. There is a small red mole.

Heart moved.

The boy was about to come forward, and the boy on the fourth floor yelled at the downstairs, motioning him to come up and get the ball:

“Zhou Jingze! Hurry up.”

“coming!”

There was a hustle and bustle of people on the stairs, the cicadas outside the window never stopped, the sun was like a fire, and the hem of the clothes brushed her arm, very light, and there was a draught wind passing by. The girl raised her eyes and saw a black figure running forward.

Summer is always warm,

So is the boy I love.
