Chapter Eighty-six Zhang Bo's Secret Love

  Along with the morning reading bell, Lin Xiaoyu rushed into the classroom like a whirlwind. After putting her single-shoulder backpack on the desk, Lin Xiaoyu sat down in her seat and took a few small breaths. Lin Xiaoyu had already been severely scolded by the class teacher, nicknamed "Big Storm", for being late too many times, so she didn't dare to be late again. Because Summer Autumn warned Lin Xiaoyu that if she was late again, she would complain to her parents. The most annoying thing for Lin Xiaoyu is when the school teachers call her parents, so the late-rising Lin Xiaoyu can be said to have rushed all the way to school.

  "Lin Xiaoyu, please hand in the math, English, chemistry and physics homework that was assigned yesterday." Lin Xiaoyu had just sat down for a short while when a girl with a large stack of notebooks in her arms walked up to her and said in a somewhat cold tone.

  Lin Xiaoyu looked at the girl who gave herself a very capable feeling, then helplessly shrugged her shoulders, spread out her hands and smiled wryly: "Sorry, I didn't do anything."

  The girl had already gotten used to Lin Xiaoyu's usual response of not handing in her homework. She glanced at Lin Xiaoyu and said, "Lin Xiaoyu, your number of times not handing in homework has seriously exceeded the limit. If the teacher asks you for it later, you'll have to take responsibility yourself." After slowly dropping this sentence, the female group leader went to collect the other group members' homework.

  Lin Xiaoyu encounters the trouble of the group leader coming to collect homework every day when she comes to school. Since high school, Lin Xiaoyu has basically not put any effort into her studies, and she doesn't do any homework after class. So every time the group leader girl comes to ask Lin Xiaoyu for her homework, Lin Xiaoyu always shows a helpless expression and says she hasn't done it.

  Lin Xiaoyu has never liked doing homework assigned by teachers since she was young. When she was little, it was because she loved playing and would spend all her time playing instead of doing homework. However, at that time, Lin Xiaoyu's grades were always very good despite not turning in her homework.

  Now, Lin Xiaoyu doesn't turn in her homework because she has discovered that she is no longer able to do these assignments... Lin Xiaoyu doesn't have the habit of copying homework to deceive teachers, so she can only be a delinquent student who owes homework.

  Lin Xiaoyu somewhat admired her team leader, who came to ask for homework every day despite knowing the same outcome would occur. This made Lin Xiaoyu feel a slight sense of apology every day at school for not handing in her homework. However, this slight apology quickly passed through Lin Xiaoyu's mind and re-emerged when she couldn't hand in her homework again the next day.

  Zhang Bo is a very shy boy, with a pale and clean appearance that gives people a naive and innocent feeling. This may be because Zhang Bo is the only son in his family. Since childhood, Zhang Bo has been playing with his cousins who are around the same age as him, mostly girls. His childhood games were all about playing house and hugging dolls with some little girls, so in other boys' eyes, Zhang Bo seems like a little girl, always having a bit of a feminine taste.

  Zhang Bo's clothes were always neat and clean every day, rarely seen with stains like other boys. In the past, Zhang Bo had a habit of carrying a small handkerchief in his pocket, but later, whenever he took out the handkerchief to wipe his sweat, he would be ridiculed by other boys, which forced him to abandon the habit of carrying a handkerchief.

  Being ridiculed by other boys for being like a sissy made Zhang Bo worried for a long time, which also made him determined to be a little man. So Zhang Bo often followed those male classmates to play basketball.

  Playing basketball is an extremely joyful thing for Zhang Bo. Even though Zhang Bo's somewhat thin body was always being knocked around by that tall and sturdy boy, Zhang Bo really enjoyed the feeling of sweating profusely on the basketball court. Zhang Bo wasn't very good at playing basketball, he wasn't very tall, and his pale and slender arms didn't have much strength, making it difficult for him to defeat his opponents on the court. However, Zhang Bo didn't care about these things, because every time he saw the ball he threw with his own hands draw an arc in the air and enter the hoop, Zhang Bo felt that nothing could be more joyful than this. After finishing each game, a tired and sore all over Zhang Bo would sit down on the floor at the edge of the court without any worries, not caring if his clothes got dirty and whether he would get scolded by his mom when he got home. At this moment, Zhang Bo just wanted to lean back and take big breaths of the fresh air on the court...

  Zhang Bo felt that he was becoming more and more like a man. Zhang Bo remembered that when he was young, he would cry loudly if a little girl hit him twice, but now even if he was knocked to the ground by an opponent on the basketball court, making his whole body ache, Zhang Bo wouldn't care. Feeling his arms getting stronger and his legs jumping higher, Zhang Bo knew that his ball skills were growing day by day, and so was he.

  On the basketball court, Zhang Bo had someone he admired very much. That was his classmate Lin Xiaoyu. Zhang Bo thought Lin Xiaoyu was a very easy-going person, always with a sunny smile on his face. On the basketball court, Lin Xiaoyu was the best player Zhang Bo had ever seen. He played so effortlessly, as if strolling in the garden, and would often use incredible passes to break through the opponent's defense and help his teammates score. Lin Xiaoyu's skills gave Zhang Bo a sense of mystery, making him feel like he could win easily without even trying his best.

  Zhang Bo, who was average at playing basketball, often became the weak point of their team's opponents when paired with Lin Xiaoyu. However, Lin Xiaoyu never complained about Zhang Bo's mistakes on the court, even when they lost a game. Instead, she would comfort him in a gentle voice and tell him not to mind, unlike other teammates who would complain about Zhang Bo. Zhang Bo had never seen any signs of disappointment on Lin Xiaoyu's face after losing a game. He gradually realized that Lin Xiaoyu was not a competitive person, but someone who purely enjoyed the joy of playing basketball. Zhang Bo deeply admired Lin Xiaoyu's attitude.

  Zhang Bai recently felt that his heart was extremely messy. Zhang Bai had never experienced such a feeling of heart mess before. The reason for Zhang Bai's heart mess was very simple, it was because there was a beautiful figure that kept flashing in Zhang Bai's mind, and every time Zhang Bai thought of this beautiful figure, he always felt like he would immediately become short of breath, his heart racing like the tide...

  The owner of the beautiful figure that disturbed Zhang Bo's heart was a petite and delicate girl from the neighboring class. When Zhang Bo saw this pretty girl quietly sitting on a long bench next to the basketball court, reading a book, he felt deeply captivated by her beauty. Her every frown and smile, her unintentional brushing of her hair with her hand as she read, all these small details made Zhang Bo feel suffocated as he sat on the sidelines waiting for his turn to play. Whenever the girl occasionally looked up towards the court, Zhang Bo would hastily shift his gaze away, afraid that she might discover him stealing glances at her...

  Later, Zhang Bo found out that the girl who had captivated him was a student from the neighboring class. As a result, Zhang Bo would often unintentionally pay attention to her every move. Every time he saw her walking past his classroom window in the corridor, his gaze would linger on the last window frame where her figure disappeared, and he would be dazed for a long time...

  Slowly growing up, 15-year-old Zhang Bo realized that he was already in the romance described on TV and books... Flustered, confused, at a loss, full of longing, a little lost... All these emotions of young boys and girls were alternating and occupying Zhang Bo's heart, making his heart feel a hundred different flavors.

  Unrequited love is a sweet thing, for it will make your heart have a lingering attachment. Every time you think of the loved one in your heart, the sweetness in your heart can only be understood by those who have experienced such feelings; but unrequited love is also a painful thing. The feeling of longing that cannot be expressed will always make people's hearts feel a sense of loss and regret. Zhang Bo is trapped in this kind of unrequited love torture, unable to extricate himself.

  Every time Zhang Bo brushes past the girl who captivates him, he wants to take a good look at her face that makes his soul flutter, but he doesn't have the courage to put his gaze on her face. He always involuntarily blushes and shifts his gaze elsewhere, silently walking past her...

  Zhang Bo had only one brief conversation with this girl. It was an accidental encounter in the school library, when Zhang Bo found that the girl had carelessly left her book on the reading room table and took it back to return it to her. When Zhang Bo heard the girl's crisp "thank you", he felt a blank space in his mind, forgetting all the words he had thought of to get to know her, and missed this great opportunity. For this, Zhang Bo regretted it afterwards.

  After days of repeated deliberation, Zhang Bo decided to muster up the courage to express his suppressed emotions to that girl like a real man. However, when Zhang Bo saw that girl with the already written love letter in hand, he still couldn't bring himself to give it to her. So Zhang Bo found Lin Xiaoyu. Zhang Bo had 100% trust in Lin Xiaoyu as a friend and was only willing to confide his innermost secrets to this good friend.
