With his days

  With his days

  The second day, big class interval.

  Students in Class One were doing morning exercises on the playground, a woman's voice came from the loudspeaker without any emotion, mixed with the sound of "beep" from the radio. The children lazily stretched their arms and legs, some even closed their eyes to yawn, looking like they hadn't woken up yet.

  "Hey!" Xǔ Yìtiān was full of energy, twisting his waist while softly calling out to Tián Tián.

  Tian Tian glanced at him sideways and said, "What's wrong, got a shot of chicken blood?"

  "Do you know there's a welcoming party for freshmen in two days?"

  Tian nodded, "I know."

  "Do you have a program?" Xu Yitian asked in a low voice, lowering his head and avoiding the teacher's gaze.

  "I don't have artistic cells, I'm just good at being an audience." Tian Tian said calmly.

  "I have an activity, I signed up for it, and my piano skills are top-notch." Xǔ Yìtiān said proudly, stretching his arms lazily, his big eyes narrowing into a line. "I even won second prize in the piano competition!"

  "Who got first prize?"

  "That guy is the sponsor's own son, damn it!" Xǔ Yìtiān said with a mix of sadness and indignation, gritting his teeth as if he wanted to swallow that person whole.

  "No wonder... " Tian Tian looked up at the sky and sighed, "I said, our Lord Permit is so fierce, who dares to ride on your head and be reckless?"

  "Hmph," Xǔ Yìtiān coldly snorted, slowly saying, "Later, my dad saw me crying and said he wanted to go reason with them. In the end, he stopped me, I said, let him be! The Prime Minister's belly can hold a boat."

  "Haha, I didn't think you'd be so generous!" Tian Tian laughed and said.

  "That was a must, afterwards, this young master found a bunch of hoodlums, blocked him at the school gate, and beat him up badly, beating that kid until his face was blue and swollen, crying out for his dad and mom, heh heh," Xǔ Yìtiān smiled enchantingly, flashing those big bright eyes at Chén Tián. Thinking to himself, I've still got a bit of a violent streak.

  Tian Tian took a deep breath and then gave Xu Yi Tian a fierce glare.

  "Let's get down to business," said Xu Yitian, clearing his throat. "For the evening party, I want to invite a beautiful, elegant and lovely girl to sing with me."

  "Dou Xiaomo is pretty good," Tian Tian said, nodding in agreement, ignoring the black lines all over Xu Yitian's face.

  "Xiao Mo? Xiao Mo has an activity now," Xie Yi Tian said with a serious tone, "Let me think about it. Although you look ordinary and not elegant at all, your words are poisonous enough to kill people, and you're not lovely either. However, I feel that I'm still willing to make concessions, take the risk, and compromise. What do you say?"

  Tian Tian sneered again, her upper teeth biting down on her lower teeth, making a clicking sound. "Dream on, Reaty."

  It wasn't until later that Xu Yitian realized that every time Tian Tian called him by his English name, it was because he had annoyed her and she wanted to pinch him to death.

  "Tian Tian, you said we have a good relationship, right? We should help each other out..."

  "Do I know you?" Tian Tian looked at him sideways.

  "Recognize it! Must recognize!" Saying that, Xu Yitian sneered and put his arm around Tian Tian's shoulder, showing their close relationship.

  "Xu Yitian, what are you doing?!" Teacher Qin pointed in his direction and shouted loudly.

  Xu Yi Tian sulkily removed his hand from Tian Tien's shoulder, pitifully gazing at Tian Tien with gemstone blue eyes that blinked like stars in the sky. He pouted and softly coaxed, "Can't I?"

  The boy next to him had goosebumps all over his body, averted his gaze, and stopped looking at that seductive dead spirit.

  All day long, Xu Yitian was nagging and persuading Tian Tian with all his might, listing out the nine benefits of participating in the activity on paper, with the words dancing across the page, followed by a line of French translation. With a mix of coercion and temptation, soft and hard tactics, Tian Tian still refused to take the bait.

  Tian Tian was holding an English book, reading it with great relish, and even reciting two sentences fluently.

  Du Xiaomo couldn't take it anymore, she slammed the pencil case on the table and stood up with a "swoosh", her small eyes shining brightly. She pointed at Xu Yitian with her chubby little hand and shouted loudly, "I'm not participating in my own activity, stooping to be your accompaniment, what a big deal!"

  Tian Tian and Xu Yi Tian stared at Du Xiao Mo, motionless. Three minutes later, the two exchanged a glance, lowered their heads, and each did their own homework.

  After getting familiar with the people at the back desk, everyone had a deeper understanding of Du Xiaomo. Xu Yitian gave Du Xiaomo eight big words: "Quiet as a virgin, dynamic as a rabbit." At that time, Jay Chou had just become popular for a few years, and Du Xiaomo ignored him, hugging a poster of Jay Chou and sweetly entering her dreamland. Of course, ignoring the fact that after she fell asleep, her saliva flowed onto the poster, wetting a large area of Jay Chou's hair.

  Cheng Yi, Du Xiaomo's deskmate, was an extremely refined boy who wasn't very tall, didn't like to talk much, had a pale complexion, wore 500-degree glasses and had a neat, short haircut. Under normal circumstances, he was either going to the bathroom or studying. His notebook was always filled with notes written in regular script, and when he spoke, it often sounded like classical Chinese, occasionally quoting ancient poems. Tian Tian sometimes borrowed his notes, and he would sigh, "If I were born in ancient times, I would definitely be a refined gentleman."

  Du Xiao Mo slowly opened his eyes, wiped away the saliva from the corner of his mouth and mumbled, "Did you cross over?"

  Cheng Yi gave her a big white eye and said quietly, "You're a crazy fat rabbit."

  Of course, Du Xiaomo would take advantage of her physical strength to overpower Cheng Yi. So, Cheng Yi usually shrank into a small corner, silently resisting Du Xiaomo, but never dared to rebel against her. There was an obvious dividing line between their desks, with Du Xiaomo occupying eight-tenths and Cheng Yi only three-tenths. He even made a delicate little notebook, and every time he suffered bullying from Du Xiaomo, he would write curses about her in the notebook, such as "The despicable modern-day landlord Zhou Bapi is actually Du Xiaomo".

  Time passed with some small ups and downs, but with these friends, Tian Tian's life became more enjoyable. She tried not to go to Tian Cheng's room, not to look at their old photos, not to miss that summer, and Tian Cheng's lovely face.

  She lives a very regular life, waking up at 6:00 in the morning, running for half an hour, attending classes, and going home after school. After finishing her homework, she watches TV, drinks a cup of milk, and goes to sleep, having no dreams all night.

  Until that day, she went shopping at the mall. With nothing to do on Sunday, she wandered around upstairs and downstairs until her eyes fixed on a young man smiling warmly at the girl next to him.

  The girl was trying on a white coat, which made her skin look even whiter. The girl pulled the boy's hand and jumped up and down like a lovely butterfly, asking again and again: "Brother An, does it look good? Does it look good?"

  Zong Zhong stroked her soft hair, chuckled and nodded, saying clearly, "Chang Chang looks good no matter what she wears."

  Tian Tian stood there dazed for a moment, sighing that this young couple was really well-matched. After sighing, she shook her head and hummed a little tune as she left.

  Sometimes, fate is just playing tricks on people. What should have been a brief encounter turned into an inexplicable reunion. Zhong Zhonglian's residual light happened to catch sight of Tian Tian, and his gaze immediately shifted away, fixing on the thin figure without moving again. Wei Chang also followed Zhong Zhonglian's line of sight and looked over, raising her head to see Zhong Zhonglian's bewildered expression, and called out in a sweet voice, "Sister Tian Tian!"

  Tian Tian turned around, smiled sweetly, and had no choice but to walk over.

  "Tian Tian Jie, let's go for a walk!" Wei Chang said obediently.

  Tian nodded and said, "Yes!"

  "What's wrong with Tian Cheng? He hasn't come to class for a long time, and Lin Ling can't sleep thinking about him, hehe." Still that cute face, thin single eyelid, when smiling, the eyelashes droop down, covering his eyes. The tone was gentle, like summer ice cream. But, every word fell on Tian Tian's heart, feeling so cool.

  Tian Tian still smiled, but there was no smile in her eyes. "Thank you for your concern." The usual courtesy.

  "Tian Cheng has gone abroad, oh my, you say he's so ungrateful, with such a good sister, and yet he still has the heart to go abroad, really is ruthless. Even the wild beasts on Tongling Mountain are not as bad as him. It's true, when people go abroad, they can get a layer of gold plating, and from then on, wherever they go, it's all glittering gold, so dazzling! " Wei Chang smiled lightly, put her arm around Zong Zhongxian's arm, and said, "You say, is that right, Brother Zhong?"

  Zong Zhong looked at Tian Tian with a heavy gaze and then mechanically nodded.

  Tian Tian's heart suddenly cooled down again, she clenched the bag in her hand, bit her lip, struggled for half a day, and still smiled. At that moment, she admired her own selflessness, saying, "Who says it's not? No one can be happier than Changchang, Changchang should cherish his current happiness."

  "Of course I know," Wei Chang said with a pout, "Ah Yan Gege, why don't you buy this coat?" She hugged Zhong Yan's arm, innocent and naive.

  "Good." Zong Zhong patted her head and said to the shop owner, "Use card, boss."

  "I won't disturb you two anymore, I'll leave first." Tian Tian said with a smile.

  "Isn't Tian Tian jie coming with us? Ah Yan gege said he'd take me to the amusement park later, do you want to go?" Wei Chang still said with a smile, her face having a faint dimple.

  "No need, I still have things to do," Tian Tian said.

  "Really? Are you always so heartless, Tian Tian Jie? Brother An invited you to travel and you went. I invite you, how can you bear to refuse?" Wei Chuan pouted, looking at Tian Tian with a wronged expression.

  Tian Tian's hands, clutching the bag, were sweating, while Zong Zhong stood to one side, waiting for her reaction. Suddenly she felt like a clown who had been ridiculed, standing alone in the spotlight, terrifyingly isolated.

  "Yo, Tian Tian!" The long-awaited voice, with a magnetic tone and a hint of playfulness, broke the awkward atmosphere.
