Chapter 6: The Scars Left for Youth

  It seems that there is a missed opportunity, in the vastness of time, heaven has already made arrangements. Not for the last encounter, nor for the oath of the previous life!

  After finishing this sentence, Cheng A raised his head and stared at the school flower's back in a daze. The ponytail of the past had been replaced by a shiny black long hair that fell on her shoulders, losing some heroic spirit and gaining a bit of charm. He didn't know when he started to like staring at the school flower's back, of course, you can also understand it as him seriously looking at the blackboard, listening to the chemistry teacher reciting the not-so-familiar "Periodic Table of Elements". Because whoever saw his infatuated expression would think that he was savoring the things coming out of the chemistry teacher's mouth... (Pig foot cold sweat ~ Please author, our chemistry teacher is a middle-aged uncle in his 40s, okay?! Does the author have a tendency to be gay?!)

  Of course, there is one exception...

  The school flower seemed to feel that there was a pair of eyes behind her, and she turned her head back while the teacher was writing formulas on the blackboard.

  In an instant! The scene freezes, with the same pair of eyes, the same expression, and the same two people. The only difference is time...

  "Huh?!" A just opened his mouth, wanting to explain something...

  The school flower glanced at him and quickly turned her head, even I didn't have time to see her face clearly, let alone he saw the smile in her eyes when she turned back...

  If you look back again, I won't be able to stop you. Only a lingering regret will remain in my heart, and all excuses can no longer be spoken!

  Cheng A wrote down this inexplicable emotional sentence on the manuscript with a thoughtful expression.

  "Come on, A, come here and explain to us the relationship between atomic nuclear charge number, protons in the nucleus and electrons outside the nucleus!" Before I could even put away the manuscript paper with a few sentences of my mood written on it, I heard the chemistry teacher's "soul-calling" voice.

  "Sweat! I didn't even hear, how would I know what their relationship is?! But he knew they definitely weren't a husband and wife, or a mistress and second wife's relationship! He grumbled to himself for a moment, then reluctantly walked up to the podium."

  "You can list the formulas on the blackboard and prove their relationship." The chemistry teacher handed a piece of chalk to Cheng A, with a sincere expression.

  "Sister! He must have found himself spacing out and is now intentionally teasing himself, making a silly face in front of the blackboard again."

  "You have 5 minutes to write down the formula, if you still can't do it after 5 minutes, then please stand by the wall according to my classroom rules, face the wall, and don't need to put your hands behind your head" Only now did I realize that Chemistry Uncle (I originally wanted to call him "brother", but considering the embarrassment he gave us lovely pig feet! With the author's right, I determined him as an uncle) had a self-proclaimed humorous heart hidden under his rigid face.

  "Haha!" The whole class of students laughed along with the teacher's " authority"

  The chemistry teacher walked triumphantly around the classroom, while Cheng A stood awkwardly in front of the blackboard, counting down the seconds. Now he deeply understood the meaning of "time flies like an arrow". If heaven gave him another chance... he would still be distracted by the school beauty's back figure! (Author... Pig Foot is poisoned too deeply... can't be saved)

  "Deng teacher (our chemistry teacher's surname), I still don't quite get it here, can you help me explain?" Just as Cheng A was about to give up and stood by the wall, he heard the voice of the school flower behind him...

  He turned around and looked at the school flower, who was also looking back at him with a wink! In an instant, he understood her intention, because his deskmate, Zhuang B, had taken advantage of the chemistry teacher's distraction to throw a paper ball at him. Cheng A nodded gratefully towards the school flower, feeling that she was so lovely, so kind, and so pure (Author: Um, isn't this unrelated to purity? Me: Mind your own business! I choose what I like). But in the next moment, the school flower's loveliness and kindness came to an end. She took advantage of the chemistry teacher's distraction to sneakily show Cheng A her handiwork, which was supposed to be quietly lying on his desk, and revealed a knowing expression...

  Sweat! I've been found out, this is my first instinct! The feeling of being guilty makes me start sweating cold sweat...

  His second intuition told him that he had been sold out... He glared at Zhuang B fiercely, it must be him who gave the answer to the school flower! Damn it! It's not worth doing such things to betray his brother! The gratitude of being given the answer just a moment ago had vanished into thin air. Cheng A wrote on the blackboard with force, "Nuclear charge number = Number of protons in the nucleus = Number of electrons outside the atomic nucleus". He also added, "Anion: Number of electrons outside the nucleus = Number of protons + Charge number Cation: Number of electrons outside the nucleus = Number of protons - Charge number". At this moment, I wished that the pencil I was using to torture him would turn into Zhuang B... Of course, it wouldn't be the school flower, she had a curvy figure, how could she be like an electric pole?! (Reader: But you just said others were not worthy of brotherhood, now you're worse than Zhuang B! Pig foot: Am I the main character or is it Zhuang B? Why do you always 'eat inside and scratch outside'? Author: "......" I'm just telling the truth... Author muttered to himself...)

  "Ah-choo!" Just as I finished writing the formula, Cheng A couldn't wait to get the attention of Chemistry Uncle! This uncle is really too much, you say he's just giving pointers but why does he have to lean in so close? His thick lips are almost touching our school flower's face.

  "Oh! I've finished writing." Under his reminder, Uncle finally didn't dare to linger around the school flower anymore, but Cheng A felt his dissatisfaction with being disturbed while continuing to instruct the school flower. But everything was already meaningless now, because Brother had already finished writing, and even gave away the calculation formulas for anions and cations for free!

  "Alright! You can go down now." The chemistry uncle said with a calm face.

  He got a "special pardon" from the uncle, and before he could even report his crime, he hastily returned to his seat. Because he was still hoping that the white paper in the school flower's hand was not the one on his desk, but the ideal was very rich, and the reality was very bony! He sadly discovered that the school flower took away my manuscript...

  With a guilty conscience, he took a peek at the school beauty, and as a result, he got a cold stare in return.

  Heavily vented on Zhuang B under the table for a while! The feeling of regret finally got temporary relief...

  After self-study class was over, it was still a classroom for two people, still the school flower and Cheng A.

  He quickly gathered his desk and left, this was the only thought in his mind! Why? Afraid that the school flower would settle accounts with him after autumn! What if the school flower knew he had improper thoughts about her, heaven knows what unfavorable things she would do to him. (Author: "It seems like no matter what the school flower does, it's always her who loses, right?" Pig foot: "Shut up!" Author: ...)

  "Do you want to leave just like that?" The school flower turned her back against Cheng A, who was originally planning to slip out the back door, and he instantly froze!

  "...". He said it as if he had done something to her. Heaven knows how wronged he was...

  "Uh! I have something else to attend to, I'll leave first..." Hurriedly finding an excuse to slip away.

  "Aren't you going to thank me for saving your skin today?" The school flower said with her hands clasped together and a smirk on her face.

  "Thank you!" Uh! So it was about this matter... I quickly said "If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

  "Wait a minute!..." The school flower stared at him with playful teasing in her eyes.

  "Anything else?" The school beauty stared at him, making his heart feel hairy.

  "You haven't told me who this is written for yet?" The school flower waved the manuscript in her hand.

  "Uh... just casually writing, not worth arguing about!" Cheng A said with a dismissive tone, also denying it.

  "Oh! Just writing casually? Is it for Zhu S?" The school flower's eyes are even more playful!

  "Oh! You really misunderstood, I was just bored in class and wrote something casually!" Listening to the school flower's guess, Cheng A felt a strange palpitation in his heart, the original excitement of being alone together began to fade away...

  "It seems someone has a guilty conscience and doesn't dare admit it." The school flower's tone was sarcastic.

  "It seems like what I write has nothing to do with you, right?" Cheng A heard the sarcasm in the school flower's tone and felt a sense of being belittled, his heart inexplicably aching! Anyone can belittle him, but it can't be her (don't ask me why, I don't know either!). So he fell silent, his expression sinking, and spoke in a stiff tone.

  "Perhaps she felt the coldness and stiffness in his tone, and the school flower's eyes reddened."

  "What's wrong with me? I was just skipping class, what's the big deal?! You helped me and I said thank you, what more do you want? Do you want me to kowtow to you?" Looking at the school beauty's slightly red eyes, Cheng A didn't stop there, his tone instead becoming even sharper.

  Perhaps it was to cut off the lingering thoughts of the school flower in his heart, or perhaps it was to satisfy the twisted sense of accomplishment in his heart! How fulfilling it is to make the proud school flower cry! If it were someone else, they would be hurt beyond consolation, but he instead puts on a face that says he doesn't care about her. Yet, seeing the tears welling up in the school flower's eyes makes him feel even more suffocated and tormented!

  But at this point, I am already an arrow on the string that cannot be held back. Since I have chosen to keep a distance from her, then let's do it thoroughly! It's best to go back to the starting point and completely cut off that thread of emotions that seems to exist yet not exist.

  "Is that all? Since there's nothing else, I'll leave first... Excuse me! You're blocking my way out." Cheng A said indifferently, unknowingly repeating what she had said last time when he blocked her way to the restroom.

  "Are you still mad about what happened last time?" the school beauty asked with a hint of tears in her voice.

  "I'd forgotten, I don't have time to remember such trivial things!" A said with a blank expression, completely ignoring the school flower who was desperately trying to hold back tears and had her shoulders shaking nonstop, as he walked out of the classroom...

  The door opened, and the biting cold wind stung my face, as if it was going to freeze my breath. I opened my mouth with difficulty to take a breath, and the chill went straight to my heart. After taking two deep breaths, the pain in my heart also became less painful under the stimulation of the cold.

  Slam the door shut, pull up your collar, and from now on, a single door completely separates two people's worlds. Perhaps the ambiguous relationship also returns to its starting point with the closing of the door, as if no one had ever opened it before.
