Chapter 73: Separation of Literary and Logical Minds

  Holidays are always too short. Blink of an eye and it's over. Haven't had a chance to calm down and read a book properly. Haven't had a chance to go to the park for a stroll. Haven't found time to accompany dad and mom to watch a movie.

  Ji Ningning always felt that the most arrogant thing in this world is time. Time doesn't care if you've forgotten something, can't catch up with something, or have regrets about something. In short, it just keeps moving forward, swiftly passing by your eyes, completely disregarding whether you're still standing in place.

  Spring in D City, the scenery that should be there is all here, so the spring rain is naturally endless too. Back at school, Ji Ningning felt a bit suffocated. She held an umbrella and walked on the long path outside the school gate. Her footsteps were light, but not to appreciate the scenery along the way. She was worried that she would walk too fast and get her new shoes dirty. This pair of shoes is the first student shoe for the second semester, Ji Ningning cherished it very much.

  She was thinking, if she kept walking like this, wouldn't it be just like the first day of junior high school when someone suddenly bumped into her from behind? And then she would run into that same person again at a different location. Obviously, Ji Ningning was overthinking things. Because no matter how slow her footsteps were, no matter how unwilling she was to walk quickly to school, she still finished walking this stretch of road. But that person never appeared.

  Ji Ningning walked to the front of the school bulletin board. She didn't know why, but today there were surprisingly few students gathered in front of the bulletin board. Ji Ningning wondered if she had arrived too early or too late. On a day like this when school was starting, shouldn't her classmates be gathering in front of the bulletin board to see which class they had been assigned to? Ji Ningning didn't look for long before finding her own name on one of the twenty-something student lists. First page, sixth name.

  Is this the treatment for being sixth in the entire grade? In Science Class A.

  But Ji Ningning didn't seem to care which class she was in. She looked at the list again, searching for familiar names.

  "Ji Ningning. It seems like we're destined to meet after all."

  Behind her was a boy's voice, so familiar, yet making her heart flutter. Ji Ningning slowly closed her eyes. Something she had finally made up her mind about, she didn't want to break her own principles again. Especially not for the same person, time and time again. That would be too embarrassing, too lacking in backbone.

  Ji Ningning didn't even turn around, not even to greet her friends. She simply raised her umbrella and walked towards the classroom without looking back. Fortunately, it was still the same classroom, but of course, it wasn't the same group of people anymore.

  "What's wrong with Ji Ningning? It's inexplicable. Is it because her aunt has arrived?" Xun Yanqiu couldn't help but mutter under his breath, watching as Ji Ningning walked away without even turning her head back. He felt annoyed in his heart. If it were any other day, it wouldn't be a big deal. But today was the first day of school, and she was being so arrogant and domineering, as if others owed her tens of millions."

  Mo Fei beside Xun Yanqiu also felt inexplicable. A "nemesis" relationship like Ji Ningning and Xun Yanqiu's, shouldn't they fight with their mouths when they meet? Such a cold war really makes people think it's incomprehensible.

  Cen Yanqiu glanced at Mo Fei, then smiled faintly and said, "Don't bother with her, she's always like that, being mysterious and moody, who knows when she'll be in a good mood."

  "You think she's like that." Mo Fei tilted her head, looking at Cen Yanqiu with a puzzled expression. She seemed to be able to tell what Cen Yanqiu was thinking from his tone of voice. In fact, girls have always been the most sensitive creatures. With just a slight breeze or rustle of grass, they can quickly pick up on it. And girls' sixth sense is especially strong, something that boys completely lack and cannot understand.

  A person stands in front of you. You must be able to feel his emotions. Even if he doesn't show anything. But you still know. He likes you. Or hates you.

  It's very painful to be disliked by others. However, we can't control other people's emotions freely. It's also very painful to dislike others. Same thing. We can't fully grasp our own emotions either.

  Mori is like that. She admits to disliking Ji Ningning without any reason, and she can also sense the hostility Ji Ningning has towards her. Girls are such strange creatures, they can easily become good friends, but also easily become enemies. Even if nothing is said, when meeting each other, they will still nod and smile, but in their hearts, they will be extremely disgusted.

  Instead, Mori's question left Chen Yanqiu at a loss for words for a moment. In his heart, the existence of Ji Ningning was truly indescribable. He didn't respond to Mori's question and continued to look at the list on the bulletin board.

  Mo Fei remained silent, not hearing Cen Yanqiu's response. She was pretending to know nothing, smiling and facing forward. She really couldn't do it.

  At this time, Yang Chengyu walked over and saw Cen Yanqiu and Mo Fei. He was a little happy. Of course, coming to school is a very uncomfortable thing. But once you arrive at school, seeing old friends, seeing friends, of course, suddenly becomes happy.

  "Ball, long time no see." Yang Chengyu's first sentence was a joke. A "long time no see" was really forced. The two of them were neighbors, often seeing each other when they looked up or down. How could it be a long time no see?

  Cen Yanqiu couldn't help it, slowly turned his head around, and looked at Yang Chengyu with disdain. Very reluctantly, he said: "I remember that next to my house lives a stupid guy who always wanders around the neighborhood, holding a basketball with nowhere to play, every day is just a state of seeking death."

  "Isn't that because you didn't accompany me? You say it yourself, a good holiday was ruined by you, all kinds of waste, don't you see? Now school has started, and you can forget about playing with me again." Yang Chengyu said, his gaze only falling on Cen Yanqiu's body, completely ignoring Mo Fei's existence.

  Mo Fei couldn't help but laugh lightly and said, "Yu Shao's meaning is that it's all my fault for sticking to the ball during the entire holiday, making it impossible for you two to be together, and unable to develop your feelings."

  Yang Chengyu listened to Mo Fei's words and couldn't help but glance at Mo Fei, then smiled faintly, not friendly but also not disdainful.

  Mo Fei knew that Yang Chengyu was a person who liked to joke around and was also very good at talking. However, she never thought that the topic she had managed to bring up with great difficulty would be completely ignored by Yang Chengyu, who just smiled it off. This not only made her feel somewhat embarrassed but also left her with an inexplicable sense of loss.
