24    Don't cry

Gan Nian looked at his elegant face, stunned for a moment, then lowered her head and said slowly: "You go first."

Her voice was as plain as water, cold as if she was talking to a stranger.

Xu Huaishen looked at her, and the light in his eyes gradually subsided. After a few seconds, he stepped away.

Gan Nian looked up at his figure disappearing from the door, and a mouthful of bitterness surged from his heart, spreading all over his body.

She didn't know how to face him now, and felt panicked and had no direction. On the one hand, his departure made her breath a sigh of relief, but on the other hand, she felt a heavier stone in her heart.

She picked up the water cup sadly and walked downstairs.

...

After the preparations are completed, the teacher will let everyone go for free activities.

Hui Xin'er asked Gan Nian: "Are you going to find the squad leader or something?"

Gan Nian shook her head, "I'll play badminton with you."

"It's OK."

The two walked forward and watched Lin Sheng and Xu Huaishen come over, Lin Sheng holding a volleyball in his hand.

When he saw Gan Nian and the others, he hurriedly greeted: "Do you two want to play volleyball?"

We four of us have doubles?"

Gan Nian raised her head and pulled the corner of her mouth: "No, Xin'er and I will play badminton."

After she finished speaking, she felt a scorching gaze staring at her. Gan Nian deliberately avoided Xu Huaishen's gaze and pulled Hui Xin'er and walked quickly.

Lin Sheng looked at Gan Nian and was a little puzzled: "What's wrong..." He turned around and saw Xu Huaishen's face also became a little gloomy.

His mind moved, were these two people quarreled?

Didn’t you do well in the class just now?

On the other side, Hui Xiner thought about it more and more, and she pulled Gan Nian and asked her to stop: "Gan Nian, what's wrong with you?

I think something happened between you and Xu Huaishen?

I just saw that something was wrong with you both."

Gan Nian curled her lips, but after thinking about it, she couldn't hide it, so she had to tell it all. Hui Xiner was shocked after hearing this: "Do you say the head teacher already knows about you?"

!”

"I guess, and maybe some warning words have been told to Xu Huaishen. If I pester him again, wouldn't it make him embarrassed..."

But what if Xu Huaishen’s reaction to her before was just a momentary impulse?

When the cold water is poured down, he should immediately wake up and know what he is doing.

She was particularly scared. One day he told her that he would stay away from him, rather than letting him know more about him.

Hui Xiner touched her head with distress and sighed: "I think the head teacher will understand it, right?

Who doesn’t have the throbbing of adolescence?

Besides, I think... if Xu Huaishen doesn't care about you, how could he let you get so close to him?"

"The class teacher will understand, but she will also care. Xu Huaishen is the first in the grade. The school's hope. Do you think if you are a teacher, you will make a poor student fall in love with a top student?"

"This...but what if Xu Huaishen wouldn't fall behind in studying?

He still did a good job in the exam and took you to make progress."

Gan Nian smiled and pinched her face: "You really like to think about things in a good way."

"What I said makes sense," Hui Xiner asked her: "Then aren't you going to like him?"

"No! How could I not like him?"

His appearance is the way she portrays the person she likes in her heart. She really likes him very much...

Hui Xiner patted her on the shoulder: "Is that little Gan Nian going to take the secret love route?

But can you hide your love?"

Gan Nian looked up at the sky with a look of despair.

——

In the next few days, Gan Nian deliberately kept a distance from Xu Huaishen. She no longer bothered him, no longer went to have dinner with him, and even spoke very little. Everyone around her noticed something was wrong. Gan Nian looked at him, and Xu Huaishen... even worse.

The midterm exam has also passed through these depressing days. After the last English test in the subject, everyone returned to the class, packed up their things, and prepared to have a happy weekend.

Gan Nian's face was rare, and she didn't care about her grades anymore. She had done everything she should do anyway, so it would be useless to be confused whether she could do well this time.

She slowly packed her schoolbag and was patted on her shoulder: "Gannian, go, go play tomorrow!"

Lin Sheng smiled, "You think it's been difficult to finish the exam. Do you have to relax? Xu Huaishen is going there too. Let's have fun together!"

Gan Nian looked up at Xu Huaishen, and quickly looked away from her eyes. She declined, "No, there is something else in my family, you can go..."

"Ah, don't you really want to go?"

Lin Sheng looked at Xu Huaishen and saw his thin lips pursed into a line, his eyes were as if ink had been splashed, and a low pressure was surrounding him.

In fact, Gan Nian ignored Xu Huaishen these days, and he saw Xu Huaishen as if he had become a different person, more gloomy and dull than before. He knew that Xu Huaishen was really different to Gan Nian.

As a brother, how could he watch and not help? So before the exam this afternoon, he told Xu Huaishen that he wanted to go out and bring Gan Nian with him. Xu Huaishen did not object, and he might also want to take this opportunity to "reconcile" in his heart, but who knew... Gan Nian refused again.

Gan Nian smiled: "Well, there is really something wrong at home, you guys have fun."

After saying that, she walked out of the class with her schoolbag on her back.

Liu Yi was chatting with her classmates in the front row. Seeing this scene, the corner of her mouth curled slightly.

Lin Sheng asked the people around him carefully: "Brother Shen, will you go back to the dormitory?"

"...You go back first, I have something to do."

"Okay."

After Lin Sheng left, everyone in the class also left one after another. Xu Huaishen took out his cell phone, sent a message, and then left the classroom.

When Liu Yi came back from the toilet, he saw Xu Huaishen leaning on the corridor railing with his hands in his pockets. His blue and white school uniform made him look more elegant.

As soon as she moved her heart, she walked over quickly. She stood in front of him and showed a gentle smile: "Squad leader, why are you here alone?"

Xu Huaishen was very upset at this moment, and when he saw that it was her, his face became even worse. However, Liu Yi was shameless and continued to talk: "Squad leader, what are your arrangements for the weekend?

I have a pretty good lecture, I can recommend it…”

Before she finished speaking, Xu Huaishen's cold eyes shot at her. He spoke without hesitation: "I have something to do, don't bother me."

When Liu Yi heard this, he seemed to have frozen.

A sense of shame and anger surged in her heart. She thought that after the class teacher warned her, the relationship between Gan Nian and Xu Huaishen would break down and she had another chance, but she didn't expect that his attitude towards her would still be like this!

Five minutes after Liu Yi left, Hui Xiner appeared.

She just received a text message from Xu Huaishen, saying that she had something to do with her and was waiting for her in the class.

"Squad leader, are you asking me for trouble?"

Xu Huaishen said: "Since... something happened to Gan Nian?"

"ah?"

He coughed lightly, "She was a little strange lately, I wonder if something happened to her."

Hui Xiner gradually reacted, "Are you talking about her attitude towards you?"

Suddenly becoming a little hiding from you?"

"Um."

Hui Xiner asked for glasses and looked helpless: "Actually... she actually knew that the head teacher was talking to you and talking about the matter between you."

Hui Xiner said everything she knew, "Anyway, she is afraid of affecting your studies."

After Xu Huaishen's eyes became darker after listening to it, he spoke after a while: "Okay, thank you."

It's okay, I'll leave first."

Before he walked, Hui Xiner's voice came from behind him: "Squad leader--"

Hui Xiner called him: "I know, Gan Nian still likes you very much, so if you don't like her, just make it clear to her as soon as possible and don't leave any hope for her.

Until now, she is still thinking about you. If you also think that your relationship with her will block your future, please… explain it to her clearly.”

——

The next morning, Gan Nian woke up early, tossed and turned in bed, and couldn't fall asleep again.

Her heart was as chaotic as thin as linen, and she was all that person.

In fact, Xu Huaishen occasionally told her about it these days, and she unilaterally began to ignore him. If it were someone else, it would be inexplicable, right?

Maybe he had a quarrel with her long ago.
