Chapter 3: Yearning for Blue Skies

  After school, I always feel particularly relaxed, the blue sky and white clouds also become leisurely, everything seems to be lightly painted.

  People come and go on the road, cars come and go, D city is originally a economically prosperous city, with dense population, crowded traffic, especially during rush hour, vehicles can't move forward at all.

  Cen Yanqiu walked alone on the pedestrian path, his expression cold and handsome. He gazed at the paralyzed road, then looked up at the bus stopped in front of him, only to find many students inside. Fortunately, he hadn't chosen to take the bus home. Every time he saw such terrible traffic, he especially wanted to ask, why did the students' dismissal time have to coincide with the working class's rush hour? Was it necessary for them to take the same road?

  Qian Yanqiu walked easily and freely through the paralyzed traffic, strolling steadily on the sidewalk, looking at people walking along the road, including students in twos and threes, even some wearing the same uniform as him, a white shirt with the "Cheng Xia Academy" emblem on the left chest, and a black tie.

  Cen Yan Qiu sighed, can't this school uniform be any more ordinary? Looking at the girls from "Qi Kai Women's Academy", white shirts, red plaid skirts, they were all chatting and laughing as they walked beside him, no matter how he looked at it, it felt so appealing!

  Suddenly an evil idea flashed through his mind, anyway he was already high, so... why not... run to Qika and find a cute girl... Xun Yanqiu thought this way, then turned back, looked at the Qika Academy not far behind him, without hesitation, he turned around and walked towards Qika.

  Along this road, there are three high schools: Chengxia Academy, Qikai Women's Academy, and Desheng Academy. Chengxia has always been a model high school with the best teaching quality in the city. Qikai focuses on the development of girls' talents, almost every girl is multi-talented. Desheng, on the other hand, is an ordinary high school with a carefree youth.

  On ordinary days, in this area, the slightly naughty boys would run around and play, while the more serious ones would ignore everything (on the surface). Ambitious girls wouldn't bother to care about others, but ordinary girls had endless gossip. It seemed that youth was like this, with everyone radiating a sunny and vibrant atmosphere, each person having their own unique personality.

  Cen Yan Qiu had just walked to the entrance of Qi Kai school when he saw a boy leaning against the wall next to the gate, with an injured leg.

  The boy was wearing a blue T-shirt with a light gray and white plaid shirt over it, both short-sleeved, revealing his thin arms. His blue jeans seemed to be in an awkward state, with a plaster cast on his left leg! He had a crutch tucked under his right arm, and his pale fingers were tightly grasping the silver handle of the crutch, with a faint bluish tint. He slightly lowered his head, and his messy bangs partially covered his eyes, making it hard to discern his emotions. However, his straight nose showed a hint of stubbornness, and his thin lips seemed to be holding back some hidden feelings.

  Cen Yanqiu sighed: Young man, what is it that drives you here? Is it the legendary love?

  Although he had some contempt in his heart, Cen Yanqiu still walked slowly towards the boy.

  The boy seemed to have sensed someone's arrival as well. He slightly raised his head, and a pair of clear and bright eyes gazed calmly at the approaching boy.

  "Hey!" Xun Yanqiu smiled slightly, and his handsome face suddenly rose with a hint of warmth, "Waiting for your girlfriend?"

  "Hmm." The boy nodded slightly, gazing at the bright-faced boy in front of him, also noticing the school uniform he was wearing. "Cheng Xia?"

  At this time, Cen Yanqiu had a somewhat inexplicable aura, his chin slightly raised, "Yes, I am a first-year student at Cheng Xia Academy, Cen Yanqiu! Please advise me!"

  The boy's expression was neither cold nor turbulent, and he nodded slightly, "Oh, what a coincidence!"

  "Really?" Cen Yan Qiu was slightly surprised, "Could it be that you are also a first-year student of Cheng Xia?"

  "Yes." The boy uttered a single word and then fell silent.

  Jian Yanqiu furrowed his brow, what's wrong with today, always meeting indifferent people! First it was Leng Yiyang that cold residue, now it's this guy again. Is it true that in this new era, not being pretentious will get you killed? "Hehe... What a coincidence! I'm Jian Yanqiu from Class A, also known as Qiu Ge! You can call me Qiu Ge too."

  "I'm older than you!" The boy's clear face flashed a hint of impatience, his eyes occasionally glancing at the people coming and going, as if searching for a waiting figure.

  Cen Yanqiu smiled lightly and said, "The person in front shouldn't be the legendary god-like person, right? How did he know that he was older than him?"

  The boy seemed to have seen through the person in front of him, paused for a moment, and said: "If I hadn't injured my leg, I would be in high school now. Since you are also in Class A, let me report my name, Su Lianyu!"

  "What a coincidence! We're actually in the same class!" Xun Yanqiu's face lit up with excitement, this world was indeed too small. "I originally came to check out if there were any beauties, but instead I ran into a classmate!"

  "Are you surprised?" Su Lianyu sneered secretly, but his face didn't show a single ripple. He looked at the person in front of him who was so sunny and lively, and his heart felt slightly troubled - he was the least good at dealing with people like this.

  "Hmm..." Cen Yanqiu felt a bit embarrassed when asked this, what's with that? He came to pick up girls, not to play gay, what's there to be surprised about?

  Su Lianyu no longer paid attention to the person in front of him, his clear eyes looked at the passersby again. Suddenly, his eyes sank slightly and dimmed, "I'm going back!" After finishing speaking, he was seen gripping his crutches tightly, limping and walking towards the side of the road.

  Cen Yanqiu looked at him limping along, somewhat comical, and hastily caught up with him, saying lightly: "The traffic on the road is also smooth now, where are you going? I'll give you a ride!"

  "It's okay, I'll just take a taxi back!" Su Lianyu said, and saw an empty car coming over. He slightly waved his hand, then looked at Cen Yanqiu, "Thank you!"

  "I didn't do anything..." Xun Yanqiu was perplexed and shrugged his shoulders, without saying another word.

  "Municipal Hospital!" Su Lianyu sat in the car and said lightly to the driver, who slowly started the vehicle.

  Just then, at the gate of Qika Academy, a long-haired girl walked out lightly. The girl's tender lips were naturally pink without any makeup, her eyebrows were like the slender willow leaves in early summer, and her eyes sparkled with changes. A white shirt, a red plaid skirt fluttered up, beautiful enough to move people's hearts, yet there was an aura that made it impossible for people to get close. The wind gently blew up her plaid school skirt, she calmly smoothed out the blown-up hem, without a hint of panic on her face.

  Her bright eyes scanned around, and for some reason, she suddenly furrowed her good-looking eyebrows and softly sighed, "Still hasn't come..."

  However, a taxi was passing in front of her at that time, but the person inside slightly lowered his head and forgot to look at the people outside the window.

  The girl's eyes dimmed slightly, she raised her hands and gently covered her chest, standing still, unable to move for a long time.

  Qiu Yanqiu also stood still, paused for a moment, and raised the corner of his mouth, seemingly pleased. "On the first day of school, Brother Qiu met a weirdo!" As he spoke, he turned around and saw the girl who had just come out. His eyebrows involuntarily rose, and he secretly thought: Qi Kai really has beautiful girls!

  He smiled faintly and quickly walked away with his backpack, having lingered for so long, he might even get scolded by his parents when he gets home!

  The girl didn't know the person who had just come here, she stood still on the spot, bewildered and at a loss.

  "Great snow! Aren't you going home?"

  Someone called out softly behind her, and the girl slowly turned around, only to see a few of her female classmates walking out. She smiled faintly, "Yeah, I'm going back!"

  Xue's footsteps moved forward, and she slightly lifted her head. In the azure sky above, a few white clouds floated gently by. If only I had wings, could I fly to your side?
