This confession was probably vastly different that what Liu Xiangyu had guessed, as his jaw fell open. "But... you're both girls..."
Xiaoya's mother then turned back to her daughter from the front messenger seat and said, "Xiaoyu, you must be tired from studying all semester, yes? During the holidays, if you want to go out with your friends, regardless if they're boys or girls, mom won't object, alright?"
Xiaoya: "The only thin I could think about was studying."
Xiaoya: "It was nothing important. Oh, I almost forgot, but I saw the headmaster just now and it looked like he was seeing a few teachers off."
Xiaoya: "Yes. And even though the law won't give us a marriage certificate, it doesn't state we're breaking any laws either."
Xiaoya's father pushed down the horn angrily as he argued, "How can you encourage our daughter to date early like this? She's still occupied with her studies right now."
Liu Xiangyu: "But aren't you scared about people talking behind your backs? Our town also had a couple like that before, but afterwards..."
Xiaoya's dad: "It was your former high school teacher, Mr. Nan, who told me. He really is a good teacher, you were just mistaken about him before. I heard he volunteered to go help out schools in small towns and villages in an exchange programme to help other teachers learn and progress. After he found out you were at Yunta High, he was very concerned for you. So when he discovered you were seeing someone, he didn't call any of your teachers and instead gave us a call directly. You should show him some consideration. Anyhow, I gifted him two boxes of the Tie-guan-yin (Iron Goddess Oolong Tea) your grandpa had given me."
Cheng Kexin: "Oh yeah, you're from Nancheng, so you don't know. It's because in Yunta Town, apart from this high school, there is also a junior high school and a primary school. So every year, before the high school entrance exams, teachers from the admissions office will head into town to find good potential students and ask them not to head to a school in the city and to continue their studies here, in this town."
Liu Xiangyu looked as though he was knocked in the face. "I didn't mean it like that, I was just trying to say that serious love is about getting married. You just haven't been with many people before her, so you only think she is the best. You're still young right now, so it's possible you can chose again. If you look at the people beside you now, you'll find someone more suitable for you."
A Small Misunderstanding
Their small car continuing its journey to Nancheng.
Xiaoya interrupted him to say: "The opinions of strangers have nothing to do with me. And with regard to anyone pointing fingers, they aren't worthy of being friends of mine to begin with. As for me not being out at school, I naturally have my reasons, but I also don't wish for everyone to use all the energy they should spend studying gossiping about my business."
Xiaoya: "What does that mean?"
During the days of her second year that followed, Xiaoya's time passed by smoothly. When it was time for the end of term exams, her performance was even more extraordinary. She had walked out of that exam room spilling over the brim with confidence.
Xiaoya: "That's really good thing, then."
A Small Misunderstanding
During the days of her second year that followed, Xiaoya's time passed by smoothly. When it was time for the end of term exams, her performance was even more extraordinary. She had walked out of that exam room spilling over the brim with confidence.
Cheng Kexin: "Oh yeah, you're from Nancheng, so you don't know. It's because in Yunta Town, apart from this high school, there is also a junior high school and a primary school. So every year, before the high school entrance exams, teachers from the admissions office will head into town to find good potential students and ask them not to head to a school in the city and to continue their studies here, in this town."
But before Xiaoya could speak, her mom replied, "What's the big deal for a girl to have a boyfriend? Having a boyfriend is no different from studying, it's not something she can get the hang of in one go. The experience she gets little by little will help in keeping her from being deceived in the future. So, as long as her grades aren't negatively affected, it's fine."
The female owner of the eatery eventually brought over two bowls of crossing the bridge noodles over to Xiaoya, having received it, Xiaoya gave her thanks then took them. With Liu Xiangyu she made her way back to the school, saying as they walked, "I hope you can help me keep this secret, but if you're no willing to, I don't have the right to force you."
At that time, Miss Yuan stood below the podium laughing happily as she watched Cheng Kexin put on her show.
The three quickly packed up in a rush and got into the car to return to Nancheng. On the way there, Xiaoya's dad asked, "How do you think you did on the exam?"
All in all, the teachers all adored Cheng Kexin. Even though she didn't always followed the school rules, when she stood at the podium at the head of the class as a disciplinarian there was nothing but quiet from those below which was especially supportive when needed.
Xiaoya's dad: "Xiaoyu, how could you talk like that to your dad? Didn't I tell you before that your not allowed to date in high school!"
The three quickly packed up in a rush and got into the car to return to Nancheng. On the way there, Xiaoya's dad asked, "How do you think you did on the exam?"
After Xiaoya arrived at Yunta High, her prosperous peach blossom had attracted many a suitor. On average, she would receive many confessions from people she did or did not know a month, and the number of letters she received was countless. She felt as though she shouldn't incite the budding love of this group of high school students, so for a period of time she was quite cold. So how could there be a boy she was especially close to? And judging from her father's meaning, it was some scandalous love affair?
Her parents then had a noisy exchange. But since her father's intelligence quotient is solely focused on his work, he couldn't win against her mother at all, and so could only continue driving while grumbling angrily.
Liu Xiangyu: "I'll keep it a secret."
Cheng Kexin: "Their enrolment rates are higher, but our high school isn't that bad, either. Besides, if there's a few top students, they'll be able to drive up the performance of the entire class. The school is even willing to put out the cash to do so. A top student can get a scholarship worth twenty to thirty thousand yuan, and the tuition fee is cancelled on top of that. There are still a lot of student whose families aren't that well off in the town."
Xiaoya's dad did not like beating around the bush so he said directly, "We heard that you are very close to a male classmate. You should listen to your dad, alright? You can find a partner in college, okay? You're too young for one right now."
Xiaoya's mother then turned back to her daughter from the front messenger seat and said, "Xiaoyu, you must be tired from studying all semester, yes? During the holidays, if you want to go out with your friends, regardless if they're boys or girls, mom won't object, alright?"
It was completely, unexpected...
Xiaoya's father laughed as he asked his daughter to get down. "You're so big now, dad can't hold you, sweetheart. Did you miss home that much?"
Xiaoya: "Thank you."
The three quickly packed up in a rush and got into the car to return to Nancheng. On the way there, Xiaoya's dad asked, "How do you think you did on the exam?"
Xiaoya then looked around to and noticed there was someone walking towards the school's gate, having no idea if they heard the commotion, and was brimming with rage. "Quiet the hell down. Do you want the two of us to be written up for misconduct?!" At Yunta High, the most serious act one can be slammed with, apart from fighting, was "puppy love". Xiaoya had no intention of being set up as the poster child for such a thing and have a record on her file because of someone who didn't matter in the slightest.
Cheng Kexin: "Their enrolment rates are higher, but our high school isn't that bad, either. Besides, if there's a few top students, they'll be able to drive up the performance of the entire class. The school is even willing to put out the cash to do so. A top student can get a scholarship worth twenty to thirty thousand yuan, and the tuition fee is cancelled on top of that. There are still a lot of student whose families aren't that well off in the town."
Inside the grounds of Yunta High, there was a stream, and over it was a bridge called Yunqiao. At that moment, the evening self-study session had already begun, so near that river, regardless of whether they were boarding or day students, none of them could be seen.
Liu Xiangyu walked towards her by a few steps, but Xiaoya waved him away. "Don't come near me."
This confession was probably vastly different that what Liu Xiangyu had guessed, as his jaw fell open. "But... you're both girls..."
There were few teachers in their grade who didn't know Cheng Kexin, and that was because the girl spent more time running to and from the office more than the rest of the liberal arts put together. Xiaoya had a particular dislike towards heading to the teachers' office, and she would like nothing else than to not go there for an entire semester. But that was not the case for Chen Kexin, who would head to the office as much as four or five times after class if she had the time.
Liu Xiangyu: "I looked it up on the internet and there are said to be many girls who were born lesbians, yet they still will marry and have kids just like ordinary people."
Liu Xiangyu: "I'll keep it a secret."
To which Xiaoya expressionlessly replied, "We're a minority, not abnormal."
The female owner of the eatery eventually brought over two bowls of crossing the bridge noodles over to Xiaoya, having received it, Xiaoya gave her thanks then took them. With Liu Xiangyu she made her way back to the school, saying as they walked, "I hope you can help me keep this secret, but if you're no willing to, I don't have the right to force you."
iana: it took all of my being to not use: her bountiful peach blossom hath brought all the boys to her yard. Anyhow, Mr. Nan is like a living, breathing ear pimple, the man barely appears yet can cause so much pain. This man laid eyes on her for no more than two minutes, saw her talking with a boy for a few seconds, surmised they were lovers, and told her parents in haste. Like, WTF?
Cheng Kexin would return to the class to get the pictures, then again return to office, then again would bring them back, then again return to the office to chat, and would again run into new teachers who just came back from their classes...
Liu Xiangyu looked as though he was knocked in the face. "I didn't mean it like that, I was just trying to say that serious love is about getting married. You just haven't been with many people before her, so you only think she is the best. You're still young right now, so it's possible you can chose again. If you look at the people beside you now, you'll find someone more suitable for you."
Xiaoya: "Um, it wasn't anything, really. I just thought I saw someone familiar, but there's no way he could be in Yunta Junior High."
Xiaoya: "It was nothing important. Oh, I almost forgot, but I saw the headmaster just now and it looked like he was seeing a few teachers off."
It had taking her two rounds outside the school to find her parents' car that day, it was not easy at all. Then, when she laid eyes on the man wearing a three-piece suit, she ran straight to him and flung herself into his arms. "Dad!"
Whe Xiaoya got back to the classroom, she gave one bowl of the crossing the bridge noodles to Cheng Kexin and the other to another girl of her dorm. After Cheng Kexin ate half of the noodles, Liu Xiangyu entered the classroom. He looked straight ahead, his gaze shifting neither left nor right, and making not even the slightest attempt at being cast in Xiaoya's direction.
iana: it took all of my being to not use: her bountiful peach blossom hath brought all the boys to her yard. Anyhow, Mr. Nan is like a living, breathing ear pimple, the man barely appears yet can cause so much pain. This man laid eyes on her for no more than two minutes, saw her talking with a boy for a few seconds, surmised they were lovers, and told her parents in haste. Like, WTF?
Xiaoya was so pissed off by such a chauvinistic display that she stated bluntly, "Look at the people beside, as in you? Let's not even talk about other people, you went scrolling through my albums, so you should've seen Captain's pictures, right? Do you honestly think there is any part of you that can compare to her? Looks-wise, accomplishments, anything?!!"
Xiaoya: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
It was completely, unexpected...
Liu Xiangyu looked as though he was knocked in the face. "I didn't mean it like that, I was just trying to say that serious love is about getting married. You just haven't been with many people before her, so you only think she is the best. You're still young right now, so it's possible you can chose again. If you look at the people beside you now, you'll find someone more suitable for you."
Currently, Cheng Kexin took the bowl of noodle soup back out from under her desk, eating as she asked Xiaoya, "Liu Xiangyu doesn't look too good, did something happen while you guys were out?"
A Small Misunderstanding
Xiaoya stormed off quickly, not wanting to again have to pretend to be polite to this person, while Liu Xiangyu shouted from behind her, "But I like you! Yu Xiaoya, I really like you! That's why I looked though your albums, and read through your messages. I want to save you! You don't want to listen to me now, but when you're done playing around with her, you can come find me. I'll wait for you. I'll always be waiting for you. I'm willing to marry you.iana: What in the coniferous fυck?! Is this btch crazy?"
Inside the grounds of Yunta High, there was a stream, and over it was a bridge called Yunqiao. At that moment, the evening self-study session had already begun, so near that river, regardless of whether they were boarding or day students, none of them could be seen.
Xiaoya interrupted him to say: "The opinions of strangers have nothing to do with me. And with regard to anyone pointing fingers, they aren't worthy of being friends of mine to begin with. As for me not being out at school, I naturally have my reasons, but I also don't wish for everyone to use all the energy they should spend studying gossiping about my business."
Cheng Kexin: "But what made you suddenly ask?"
Xiaoya: "That's really good thing, then."
Xiaoya's dad did not like beating around the bush so he said directly, "We heard that you are very close to a male classmate. You should listen to your dad, alright? You can find a partner in college, okay? You're too young for one right now."
Liu Xiangyu looked as though he was knocked in the face. "I didn't mean it like that, I was just trying to say that serious love is about getting married. You just haven't been with many people before her, so you only think she is the best. You're still young right now, so it's possible you can chose again. If you look at the people beside you now, you'll find someone more suitable for you."
And seeing the fringe of grey lining her mother's temples, Xiaoya said nothing in return.
Xiaoya turned around, which caused a Liu Xiangyu's face to explode with exaltation.
Xiaoya: "The only thin I could think about was studying."
So Cheng Kexin pushed Xiaoya for them to keep going quickly.
Liu Xiangyu: "But aren't you scared about people talking behind your backs? Our town also had a couple like that before, but afterwards..."
Xiaoya then looked around to and noticed there was someone walking towards the school's gate, having no idea if they heard the commotion, and was brimming with rage. "Quiet the hell down. Do you want the two of us to be written up for misconduct?!" At Yunta High, the most serious act one can be slammed with, apart from fighting, was "puppy love". Xiaoya had no intention of being set up as the poster child for such a thing and have a record on her file because of someone who didn't matter in the slightest.
She kept her voice low, but made sure Liu Xiangyu could hear her as she spoke, "I have Captain, and she is the person I like the most. So it doesn't matter if she was a boy or or a girl because you never stood a chance either way. You're not some six or seven year old kid so you should be able to act decisively. I'm only going to say this much, please conduct yourself properly if you don't want me to anything even more unpleasant."
Xiaoya: "It was nothing important. Oh, I almost forgot, but I saw the headmaster just now and it looked like he was seeing a few teachers off."
Cheng Kexin: "Oh, they should be some teachers from the town; they came to recommend third year junior high students."
Liu Xiangyu walked towards her by a few steps, but Xiaoya waved him away. "Don't come near me."
For instance, she would head there to show off her pictures when she was a little kid, saying, "I was so cute when I was little, right? Too bad I now look like a foot." After she was satisfied, she would go back to her class, but then she'd go running back to the office to find a teacher to chat with. This time around the new teachers who came from their classes to the office would ask, "Cheng Kexin, I heard you brought your baby pictures, let us see them too."
Liu Xiangyu: "But aren't you scared about people talking behind your backs? Our town also had a couple like that before, but afterwards..."
The female owner of the eatery eventually brought over two bowls of crossing the bridge noodles over to Xiaoya, having received it, Xiaoya gave her thanks then took them. With Liu Xiangyu she made her way back to the school, saying as they walked, "I hope you can help me keep this secret, but if you're no willing to, I don't have the right to force you."

I'm only going to say this much, please conduct yourself properly if you don't want me to anything even more unpleasant."
Hearing what she said, Xiaoya chuckled. Cheng Kexin was a very interesting girl. There was a maths teacher she especially disliked in Liberal Arts Class One, so during class she would stand behind the podium up front and stir up the class, "We will riot! We will stand up for our rights! Miss Yuan's teaching of this class is too subpar, so I won't be attending her in the future for class."
Whe Xiaoya got back to the classroom, she gave one bowl of the crossing the bridge noodles to Cheng Kexin and the other to another girl of her dorm. After Cheng Kexin ate half of the noodles, Liu Xiangyu entered the classroom. He looked straight ahead, his gaze shifting neither left nor right, and making not even the slightest attempt at being cast in Xiaoya's direction.
Cheng Kexin: "Oh yeah, you're from Nancheng, so you don't know. It's because in Yunta Town, apart from this high school, there is also a junior high school and a primary school. So every year, before the high school entrance exams, teachers from the admissions office will head into town to find good potential students and ask them not to head to a school in the city and to continue their studies here, in this town."
Her mother's expression was the kindest it had ever been in such a long time.
Xiaoya didn't think Cheng Kexin could answer her question, leaving her preoccupied and thinking to herself, "But that's no guarantee. Could it really be him?"
Xiaoya: "That's really good thing, then."
Cheng Kexin: "I was trying to not disrespect the discipline inspection teacher, who would've thought it was just Liu Xiangyu."
Cheng Kexin didn't know the one who entered was Liu Xiangyu, so she hurriedly tidied up. She had gulped down some noodles too quickly just now, and had risked her life at current for gain a moment of satisfaction.
Xiaoya's dad: "Xiaoyu, how could you talk like that to your dad? Didn't I tell you before that your not allowed to date in high school!"
Xiaoya: "Why are you rushing so much?"
Liu Xiangyu looked as though he was knocked in the face. "I didn't mean it like that, I was just trying to say that serious love is about getting married. You just haven't been with many people before her, so you only think she is the best. You're still young right now, so it's possible you can chose again. If you look at the people beside you now, you'll find someone more suitable for you."
Cheng Kexin: "I was trying to not disrespect the discipline inspection teacher, who would've thought it was just Liu Xiangyu."
Xiaoya: "That's really good thing, then."
Xiaoya: Which teacher gave them this wrong information???
Inside the grounds of Yunta High, there was a stream, and over it was a bridge called Yunqiao. At that moment, the evening self-study session had already begun, so near that river, regardless of whether they were boarding or day students, none of them could be seen.
Cheng Kexin: "I was trying to not disrespect the discipline inspection teacher, who would've thought it was just Liu Xiangyu."

At that time, Miss Yuan stood below the podium laughing happily as she watched Cheng Kexin put on her show.
Their small car continuing its journey to Nancheng.
It had taking her two rounds outside the school to find her parents' car that day, it was not easy at all. Then, when she laid eyes on the man wearing a three-piece suit, she ran straight to him and flung herself into his arms. "Dad!"

But that was not the case for Chen Kexin, who would head to the office as much as four or five times after class if she had the time.
Anyhow, the discipline inspection teacher of Yunta High was the most stern-looking of all the teachers, and Xiaoya thought they hated the students. That was until one time when Chen Kexin took Xiaoya to slip out of their class from the back entrance so they could get to the cafeteria early and avoid the chaos. There, on the ground floor of the school building, Xiaoya was the first to spot the discipline inspection teacher. Just as she was thinking of running back, she saw the discipline inspection teacher who had swept her gaze towards them, look in another direction.
Her mother's expression was the kindest it had ever been in such a long time.
Having answered her father's question, Xiaoya then turned to her mother, "Mom."
Xiaoya: Which teacher gave them this wrong information???
Xiaoya: "That's really good thing, then."
Cheng Kexin would return to the class to get the pictures, then again return to office, then again would bring them back, then again return to the office to chat, and would again run into new teachers who just came back from their classes...

There are still a lot of student whose families aren't that well off in the town."
Xiaoya: "The only thin I could think about was studying."
Being modest, Xiaoya replied, "Not too bad." But in actuality, Xiaoya on the exam this time got a lucky buff, the answers for every question was struck or came by luckT/n: the original phrase here is a good luck wish for exams that's a little rhyme about getting all the answers answered or being lucky enough to luck out if you hit a brick wall. , and it had never been better.
Liu Xiangyu: "I'll keep it a secret."
Anyhow, the discipline inspection teacher of Yunta High was the most stern-looking of all the teachers, and Xiaoya thought they hated the students. That was until one time when Chen Kexin took Xiaoya to slip out of their class from the back entrance so they could get to the cafeteria early and avoid the chaos. There, on the ground floor of the school building, Xiaoya was the first to spot the discipline inspection teacher. Just as she was thinking of running back, she saw the discipline inspection teacher who had swept her gaze towards them, look in another direction.
Xiaoya: "Yes. And even though the law won't give us a marriage certificate, it doesn't state we're breaking any laws either."
Xiaoya: "But aren't the high schools in the city much better?"
The female owner of the eatery eventually brought over two bowls of crossing the bridge noodles over to Xiaoya, having received it, Xiaoya gave her thanks then took them. With Liu Xiangyu she made her way back to the school, saying as they walked, "I hope you can help me keep this secret, but if you're no willing to, I don't have the right to force you."
Liu Xiangyu looked as though he was knocked in the face. "I didn't mean it like that, I was just trying to say that serious love is about getting married. You just haven't been with many people before her, so you only think she is the best. You're still young right now, so it's possible you can chose again. If you look at the people beside you now, you'll find someone more suitable for you."
iana: it took all of my being to not use: her bountiful peach blossom hath brought all the boys to her yard. Anyhow, Mr. Nan is like a living, breathing ear pimple, the man barely appears yet can cause so much pain. This man laid eyes on her for no more than two minutes, saw her talking with a boy for a few seconds, surmised they were lovers, and told her parents in haste. Like, WTF?
It-was-incredibly-obvious!
Xiaoya: "Thank you."
So Cheng Kexin pushed Xiaoya for them to keep going quickly.
Xiaoya's father laughed as he asked his daughter to get down. "You're so big now, dad can't hold you, sweetheart. Did you miss home that much?"
Hearing what she said, Xiaoya chuckled. Cheng Kexin was a very interesting girl. There was a maths teacher she especially disliked in Liberal Arts Class One, so during class she would stand behind the podium up front and stir up the class, "We will riot!

Whe Xiaoya got back to the classroom, she gave one bowl of the crossing the bridge noodles to Cheng Kexin and the other to another girl of her dorm. After Cheng Kexin ate half of the noodles, Liu Xiangyu entered the classroom. He looked straight ahead, his gaze shifting neither left nor right, and making not even the slightest attempt at being cast in Xiaoya's direction.
After Xiaoya arrived at Yunta High, her prosperous peach blossom had attracted many a suitor. On average, she would receive many confessions from people she did or did not know a month, and the number of letters she received was countless. She felt as though she shouldn't incite the budding love of this group of high school students, so for a period of time she was quite cold. So how could there be a boy she was especially close to? And judging from her father's meaning, it was some scandalous love affair?
This confession was probably vastly different that what Liu Xiangyu had guessed, as his jaw fell open. "But... you're both girls..."
It was completely, unexpected...
Xiaoya: "It was nothing important. Oh, I almost forgot, but I saw the headmaster just now and it looked like he was seeing a few teachers off."
Liu Xiangyu: "I looked it up on the internet and there are said to be many girls who were born lesbians, yet they still will marry and have kids just like ordinary people."
Xiaoya: "But aren't the high schools in the city much better?"
Xiaoya: "But aren't the high schools in the city much better?"
Xiaoya's dad: "It was your former high school teacher, Mr. Nan, who told me. He really is a good teacher, you were just mistaken about him before. I heard he volunteered to go help out schools in small towns and villages in an exchange programme to help other teachers learn and progress. After he found out you were at Yunta High, he was very concerned for you. So when he discovered you were seeing someone, he didn't call any of your teachers and instead gave us a call directly. You should show him some consideration. Anyhow, I gifted him two boxes of the Tie-guan-yin (Iron Goddess Oolong Tea) your grandpa had given me."
Her parents then had a noisy exchange. But since her father's intelligence quotient is solely focused on his work, he couldn't win against her mother at all, and so could only continue driving while grumbling angrily.
Currently, Cheng Kexin took the bowl of noodle soup back out from under her desk, eating as she asked Xiaoya, "Liu Xiangyu doesn't look too good, did something happen while you guys were out?"
All in all, the teachers all adored Cheng Kexin. Even though she didn't always followed the school rules, when she stood at the podium at the head of the class as a disciplinarian there was nothing but quiet from those below which was especially supportive when needed.
Xiaoya turned around, which caused a Liu Xiangyu's face to explode with exaltation.
Her mother's expression was the kindest it had ever been in such a long time.
Cheng Kexin: "Oh yeah, you're from Nancheng, so you don't know. It's because in Yunta Town, apart from this high school, there is also a junior high school and a primary school. So every year, before the high school entrance exams, teachers from the admissions office will head into town to find good potential students and ask them not to head to a school in the city and to continue their studies here, in this town."
Xiaoya didn't think Cheng Kexin could answer her question, leaving her preoccupied and thinking to herself, "But that's no guarantee. Could it really be him?"
Inside the grounds of Yunta High, there was a stream, and over it was a bridge called Yunqiao. At that moment, the evening self-study session had already begun, so near that river, regardless of whether they were boarding or day students, none of them could be seen.
The female owner of the eatery eventually brought over two bowls of crossing the bridge noodles over to Xiaoya, having received it, Xiaoya gave her thanks then took them. With Liu Xiangyu she made her way back to the school, saying as they walked, "I hope you can help me keep this secret, but if you're no willing to, I don't have the right to force you."

Xiaoya: "You sent him a gift again?"

Xiaoya: "Why are you rushing so much?"
Cheng Kexin: "But what made you suddenly ask?"
Cheng Kexin: "Oh, they should be some teachers from the town; they came to recommend third year junior high students."
Her parents then had a noisy exchange. But since her father's intelligence quotient is solely focused on his work, he couldn't win against her mother at all, and so could only continue driving while grumbling angrily.
Xiaoya: "What does that mean?"
And seeing the fringe of grey lining her mother's temples, Xiaoya said nothing in return.
And seeing the fringe of grey lining her mother's temples, Xiaoya said nothing in return.
Liu Xiangyu walked towards her by a few steps, but Xiaoya waved him away. "Don't come near me."
Cheng Kexin: "Oh yeah, you're from Nancheng, so you don't know. It's because in Yunta Town, apart from this high school, there is also a junior high school and a primary school. So every year, before the high school entrance exams, teachers from the admissions office will head into town to find good potential students and ask them not to head to a school in the city and to continue their studies here, in this town."
To which Xiaoya expressionlessly replied, "We're a minority, not abnormal."
Xiaoya: "But aren't the high schools in the city much better?"
But before Xiaoya could speak, her mom replied, "What's the big deal for a girl to have a boyfriend? Having a boyfriend is no different from studying, it's not something she can get the hang of in one go. The experience she gets little by little will help in keeping her from being deceived in the future. So, as long as her grades aren't negatively affected, it's fine."
Xiaoya: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Xiaoya: "Thank you."
During the days of her second year that followed, Xiaoya's time passed by smoothly. When it was time for the end of term exams, her performance was even more extraordinary. She had walked out of that exam room spilling over the brim with confidence.
All in all, the teachers all adored Cheng Kexin. Even though she didn't always followed the school rules, when she stood at the podium at the head of the class as a disciplinarian there was nothing but quiet from those below which was especially supportive when needed.
Cheng Kexin: "Their enrolment rates are higher, but our high school isn't that bad, either. Besides, if there's a few top students, they'll be able to drive up the performance of the entire class. The school is even willing to put out the cash to do so. A top student can get a scholarship worth twenty to thirty thousand yuan, and the tuition fee is cancelled on top of that. There are still a lot of student whose families aren't that well off in the town."

Xiaoya: "That's really good thing, then."
It was completely, unexpected...
Cheng Kexin: "But what made you suddenly ask?"
iana: it took all of my being to not use: her bountiful peach blossom hath brought all the boys to her yard. Anyhow, Mr. Nan is like a living, breathing ear pimple, the man barely appears yet can cause so much pain. This man laid eyes on her for no more than two minutes, saw her talking with a boy for a few seconds, surmised they were lovers, and told her parents in haste. Like, WTF?
Xiaoya didn't think Cheng Kexin could answer her question, leaving her preoccupied and thinking to herself, "But that's no guarantee. Could it really be him?"
Xiaoya: "Um, it wasn't anything, really. I just thought I saw someone familiar, but there's no way he could be in Yunta Junior High."
The female owner of the eatery eventually brought over two bowls of crossing the bridge noodles over to Xiaoya, having received it, Xiaoya gave her thanks then took them.

Inside the grounds of Yunta High, there was a stream, and over it was a bridge called Yunqiao. At that moment, the evening self-study session had already begun, so near that river, regardless of whether they were boarding or day students, none of them could be seen.
Liu Xiangyu: "But aren't you scared about people talking behind your backs? Our town also had a couple like that before, but afterwards..."
Cheng Kexin: "Oh yeah, you're from Nancheng, so you don't know. It's because in Yunta Town, apart from this high school, there is also a junior high school and a primary school.

So Cheng Kexin pushed Xiaoya for them to keep going quickly.
But before Xiaoya could speak, her mom replied, "What's the big deal for a girl to have a boyfriend? Having a boyfriend is no different from studying, it's not something she can get the hang of in one go. The experience she gets little by little will help in keeping her from being deceived in the future. So, as long as her grades aren't negatively affected, it's fine."
During the days of her second year that followed, Xiaoya's time passed by smoothly. When it was time for the end of term exams, her performance was even more extraordinary. She had walked out of that exam room spilling over the brim with confidence.
Xiaoya: "Yes. And even though the law won't give us a marriage certificate, it doesn't state we're breaking any laws either."
Xiaoya didn't think Cheng Kexin could answer her question, leaving her preoccupied and thinking to herself, "But that's no guarantee. Could it really be him?"
Xiaoya interrupted him to say: "The opinions of strangers have nothing to do with me. And with regard to anyone pointing fingers, they aren't worthy of being friends of mine to begin with. As for me not being out at school, I naturally have my reasons, but I also don't wish for everyone to use all the energy they should spend studying gossiping about my business."
Xiaoya interrupted him to say: "The opinions of strangers have nothing to do with me. And with regard to anyone pointing fingers, they aren't worthy of being friends of mine to begin with.

Xiaoya: "Um, it wasn't anything, really. I just thought I saw someone familiar, but there's no way he could be in Yunta Junior High."
There were few teachers in their grade who didn't know Cheng Kexin, and that was because the girl spent more time running to and from the office more than the rest of the liberal arts put together. Xiaoya had a particular dislike towards heading to the teachers' office, and she would like nothing else than to not go there for an entire semester. But that was not the case for Chen Kexin, who would head to the office as much as four or five times after class if she had the time.
Being modest, Xiaoya replied, "Not too bad." But in actuality, Xiaoya on the exam this time got a lucky buff, the answers for every question was struck or came by luckT/n: the original phrase here is a good luck wish for exams that's a little rhyme about getting all the answers answered or being lucky enough to luck out if you hit a brick wall. , and it had never been better.
For instance, she would head there to show off her pictures when she was a little kid, saying, "I was so cute when I was little, right? Too bad I now look like a foot." After she was satisfied, she would go back to her class, but then she'd go running back to the office to find a teacher to chat with. This time around the new teachers who came from their classes to the office would ask, "Cheng Kexin, I heard you brought your baby pictures, let us see them too."
Xiaoya: "Why are you rushing so much?"
During the days of her second year that followed, Xiaoya's time passed by smoothly. When it was time for the end of term exams, her performance was even more extraordinary. She had walked out of that exam room spilling over the brim with confidence.
Xiaoya didn't think Cheng Kexin could answer her question, leaving her preoccupied and thinking to herself, "But that's no guarantee. Could it really be him?"
Xiaoya: "The only thin I could think about was studying."
Xiaoya didn't think Cheng Kexin could answer her question, leaving her preoccupied and thinking to herself, "But that's no guarantee. Could it really be him?"
It had taking her two rounds outside the school to find her parents' car that day, it was not easy at all. Then, when she laid eyes on the man wearing a three-piece suit, she ran straight to him and flung herself into his arms. "Dad!"
Cheng Kexin: "But what made you suddenly ask?"
Xiaoya turned around, which caused a Liu Xiangyu's face to explode with exaltation.
To which Xiaoya expressionlessly replied, "We're a minority, not abnormal."
Xiaoya's mother then turned back to her daughter from the front messenger seat and said, "Xiaoyu, you must be tired from studying all semester, yes? During the holidays, if you want to go out with your friends, regardless if they're boys or girls, mom won't object, alright?"
Cheng Kexin would return to the class to get the pictures, then again return to office, then again would bring them back, then again return to the office to chat, and would again run into new teachers who just came back from their classes...
Xiaoya's father laughed as he asked his daughter to get down. "You're so big now, dad can't hold you, sweetheart. Did you miss home that much?"
Their small car continuing its journey to Nancheng.
Xiaoya: "The only thin I could think about was studying."
Currently, Cheng Kexin took the bowl of noodle soup back out from under her desk, eating as she asked Xiaoya, "Liu Xiangyu doesn't look too good, did something happen while you guys were out?"
Xiaoya: "But aren't the high schools in the city much better?"
It-was-incredibly-obvious!
Cheng Kexin: "But what made you suddenly ask?"
Xiaoya: "Yes. And even though the law won't give us a marriage certificate, it doesn't state we're breaking any laws either."
Xiaoya: "The only thin I could think about was studying."
Cheng Kexin: "Oh, they should be some teachers from the town; they came to recommend third year junior high students."

Xiaoya: "You sent him a gift again?"
Having answered her father's question, Xiaoya then turned to her mother, "Mom."
Her mother's expression was the kindest it had ever been in such a long time.

So every year, before the high school entrance exams, teachers from the admissions office will head into town to find good potential students and ask them not to head to a school in the city and to continue their studies here, in this town."
The three quickly packed up in a rush and got into the car to return to Nancheng. On the way there, Xiaoya's dad asked, "How do you think you did on the exam?"
Xiaoya stormed off quickly, not wanting to again have to pretend to be polite to this person, while Liu Xiangyu shouted from behind her, "But I like you! Yu Xiaoya, I really like you! That's why I looked though your albums, and read through your messages. I want to save you! You don't want to listen to me now, but when you're done playing around with her, you can come find me. I'll wait for you. I'll always be waiting for you. I'm willing to marry you.iana: What in the coniferous fυck?! Is this btch crazy?"
Being modest, Xiaoya replied, "Not too bad." But in actuality, Xiaoya on the exam this time got a lucky buff, the answers for every question was struck or came by luckT/n: the original phrase here is a good luck wish for exams that's a little rhyme about getting all the answers answered or being lucky enough to luck out if you hit a brick wall. , and it had never been better.
Xiaoya: "That's really good thing, then."
Xiaoya's dad: "That's good. But Xiaoyu, you know the most important thing in high school is studying, right? Smart people should do suitable things at the suitable stages."
But her mother countered, "While I was busy with my studies, I met you.
Xiaoya then looked around to and noticed there was someone walking towards the school's gate, having no idea if they heard the commotion, and was brimming with rage. "Quiet the hell down. Do you want the two of us to be written up for misconduct?!" At Yunta High, the most serious act one can be slammed with, apart from fighting, was "puppy love". Xiaoya had no intention of being set up as the poster child for such a thing and have a record on her file because of someone who didn't matter in the slightest.
During the days of her second year that followed, Xiaoya's time passed by smoothly. When it was time for the end of term exams, her performance was even more extraordinary. She had walked out of that exam room spilling over the brim with confidence.
Xiaoya: "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Whe Xiaoya got back to the classroom, she gave one bowl of the crossing the bridge noodles to Cheng Kexin and the other to another girl of her dorm. After Cheng Kexin ate half of the noodles, Liu Xiangyu entered the classroom. He looked straight ahead, his gaze shifting neither left nor right, and making not even the slightest attempt at being cast in Xiaoya's direction.
Xiaoya's dad: "Xiaoyu, how could you talk like that to your dad? Didn't I tell you before that your not allowed to date in high school!"
Whe Xiaoya got back to the classroom, she gave one bowl of the crossing the bridge noodles to Cheng Kexin and the other to another girl of her dorm. After Cheng Kexin ate half of the noodles, Liu Xiangyu entered the classroom.

Xiaoya: "Um, it wasn't anything, really. I just thought I saw someone familiar, but there's no way he could be in Yunta Junior High."
Xiaoya thought about it for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything. When did it ever seem like she and any boy were particularly close.
Xiaoya's dad did not like beating around the bush so he said directly, "We heard that you are very close to a male classmate. You should listen to your dad, alright? You can find a partner in college, okay? You're too young for one right now."
Having answered her father's question, Xiaoya then turned to her mother, "Mom."
Xiaoya: "Thank you."
Hearing what she said, Xiaoya chuckled. Cheng Kexin was a very interesting girl. There was a maths teacher she especially disliked in Liberal Arts Class One, so during class she would stand behind the podium up front and stir up the class, "We will riot! We will stand up for our rights! Miss Yuan's teaching of this class is too subpar, so I won't be attending her in the future for class."
But her mother countered, "While I was busy with my studies, I met you.
Xiaoya: "???"
Xiaoya: "Yes. And even though the law won't give us a marriage certificate, it doesn't state we're breaking any laws either."
Xiaoya then looked around to and noticed there was someone walking towards the school's gate, having no idea if they heard the commotion, and was brimming with rage. "Quiet the hell down.

Xiaoya had no intention of being set up as the poster child for such a thing and have a record on her file because of someone who didn't matter in the slightest.
Xiaoya: "???"
Xiaoya: "But aren't the high schools in the city much better?"
But her mother countered, "While I was busy with my studies, I met you.
Xiaoya: "That's really good thing, then."
Xiaoya: Which teacher gave them this wrong information???
Cheng Kexin would return to the class to get the pictures, then again return to office, then again would bring them back, then again return to the office to chat, and would again run into new teachers who just came back from their classes...
Xiaoya's dad: "That's good. But Xiaoyu, you know the most important thing in high school is studying, right? Smart people should do suitable things at the suitable stages."
Xiaoya: "It was nothing important. Oh, I almost forgot, but I saw the headmaster just now and it looked like he was seeing a few teachers off."
Xiaoya was so pissed off by such a chauvinistic display that she stated bluntly, "Look at the people beside, as in you? Let's not even talk about other people, you went scrolling through my albums, so you should've seen Captain's pictures, right? Do you honestly think there is any part of you that can compare to her? Looks-wise, accomplishments, anything?!!"
Liu Xiangyu: "I'll keep it a secret."
Xiaoya thought about it for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything. When did it ever seem like she and any boy were particularly close.
It had taking her two rounds outside the school to find her parents' car that day, it was not easy at all. Then, when she laid eyes on the man wearing a three-piece suit, she ran straight to him and flung herself into his arms. "Dad!"
Xiaoya: "Yes. And even though the law won't give us a marriage certificate, it doesn't state we're breaking any laws either."
Xiaoya's mother then turned back to her daughter from the front messenger seat and said, "Xiaoyu, you must be tired from studying all semester, yes? During the holidays, if you want to go out with your friends, regardless if they're boys or girls, mom won't object, alright?"
At that time, Miss Yuan stood below the podium laughing happily as she watched Cheng Kexin put on her show.
She kept her voice low, but made sure Liu Xiangyu could hear her as she spoke, "I have Captain, and she is the person I like the most. So it doesn't matter if she was a boy or or a girl because you never stood a chance either way. You're not some six or seven year old kid so you should be able to act decisively. I'm only going to say this much, please conduct yourself properly if you don't want me to anything even more unpleasant."
Xiaoya's father pushed down the horn angrily as he argued, "How can you encourage our daughter to date early like this? She's still occupied with her studies right now."
But her mother countered, "While I was busy with my studies, I met you.
After Xiaoya arrived at Yunta High, her prosperous peach blossom had attracted many a suitor. On average, she would receive many confessions from people she did or did not know a month, and the number of letters she received was countless.

And judging from her father's meaning, it was some scandalous love affair?
So Cheng Kexin pushed Xiaoya for them to keep going quickly.
Xiaoya: "You sent him a gift again?"
Xiaoya: "Um, it wasn't anything, really. I just thought I saw someone familiar, but there's no way he could be in Yunta Junior High."
Xiaoya's father laughed as he asked his daughter to get down. "You're so big now, dad can't hold you, sweetheart. Did you miss home that much?"
It had taking her two rounds outside the school to find her parents' car that day, it was not easy at all. Then, when she laid eyes on the man wearing a three-piece suit, she ran straight to him and flung herself into his arms. "Dad!"
Xiaoya's dad: "It was your former high school teacher, Mr. Nan, who told me. He really is a good teacher, you were just mistaken about him before. I heard he volunteered to go help out schools in small towns and villages in an exchange programme to help other teachers learn and progress. After he found out you were at Yunta High, he was very concerned for you. So when he discovered you were seeing someone, he didn't call any of your teachers and instead gave us a call directly. You should show him some consideration. Anyhow, I gifted him two boxes of the Tie-guan-yin (Iron Goddess Oolong Tea) your grandpa had given me."
Xiaoya: "Why are you rushing so much?"
At that time, Miss Yuan stood below the podium laughing happily as she watched Cheng Kexin put on her show.
Xiaoya: "???"
Xiaoya: "Um, it wasn't anything, really. I just thought I saw someone familiar, but there's no way he could be in Yunta Junior High."
All in all, the teachers all adored Cheng Kexin. Even though she didn't always followed the school rules, when she stood at the podium at the head of the class as a disciplinarian there was nothing but quiet from those below which was especially supportive when needed.
Xiaoya: "You sent him a gift again?"
Xiaoya thought about it for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything. When did it ever seem like she and any boy were particularly close.
Anyhow, the discipline inspection teacher of Yunta High was the most stern-looking of all the teachers, and Xiaoya thought they hated the students. That was until one time when Chen Kexin took Xiaoya to slip out of their class from the back entrance so they could get to the cafeteria early and avoid the chaos. There, on the ground floor of the school building, Xiaoya was the first to spot the discipline inspection teacher. Just as she was thinking of running back, she saw the discipline inspection teacher who had swept her gaze towards them, look in another direction.
For instance, she would head there to show off her pictures when she was a little kid, saying, "I was so cute when I was little, right? Too bad I now look like a foot." After she was satisfied, she would go back to her class, but then she'd go running back to the office to find a teacher to chat with. This time around the new teachers who came from their classes to the office would ask, "Cheng Kexin, I heard you brought your baby pictures, let us see them too."

Looks-wise, accomplishments, anything?!!"
Having answered her father's question, Xiaoya then turned to her mother, "Mom."
At that time, Miss Yuan stood below the podium laughing happily as she watched Cheng Kexin put on her show.
But before Xiaoya could speak, her mom replied, "What's the big deal for a girl to have a boyfriend? Having a boyfriend is no different from studying, it's not something she can get the hang of in one go. The experience she gets little by little will help in keeping her from being deceived in the future. So, as long as her grades aren't negatively affected, it's fine."
Xiaoya's dad: "That's good. But Xiaoyu, you know the most important thing in high school is studying, right? Smart people should do suitable things at the suitable stages."
Xiaoya: "It was nothing important. Oh, I almost forgot, but I saw the headmaster just now and it looked like he was seeing a few teachers off."
Their small car continuing its journey to Nancheng.
Liu Xiangyu: "But aren't you scared about people talking behind your backs? Our town also had a couple like that before, but afterwards..."
Xiaoya: "That's really good thing, then."
Xiaoya stormed off quickly, not wanting to again have to pretend to be polite to this person, while Liu Xiangyu shouted from behind her, "But I like you! Yu Xiaoya, I really like you! That's why I looked though your albums, and read through your messages. I want to save you! You don't want to listen to me now, but when you're done playing around with her, you can come find me. I'll wait for you. I'll always be waiting for you. I'm willing to marry you.iana: What in the coniferous fυck?! Is this btch crazy?"

Inside the grounds of Yunta High, there was a stream, and over it was a bridge called Yunqiao. At that moment, the evening self-study session had already begun, so near that river, regardless of whether they were boarding or day students, none of them could be seen.
For instance, she would head there to show off her pictures when she was a little kid, saying, "I was so cute when I was little, right? Too bad I now look like a foot." After she was satisfied, she would go back to her class, but then she'd go running back to the office to find a teacher to chat with. This time around the new teachers who came from their classes to the office would ask, "Cheng Kexin, I heard you brought your baby pictures, let us see them too."
At that time, Miss Yuan stood below the podium laughing happily as she watched Cheng Kexin put on her show.
But her mother countered, "While I was busy with my studies, I met you.
It-was-incredibly-obvious!
Hearing what she said, Xiaoya chuckled. Cheng Kexin was a very interesting girl. There was a maths teacher she especially disliked in Liberal Arts Class One, so during class she would stand behind the podium up front and stir up the class, "We will riot! We will stand up for our rights! Miss Yuan's teaching of this class is too subpar, so I won't be attending her in the future for class."
Xiaoya thought about it for a long time, but couldn't come up with anything. When did it ever seem like she and any boy were particularly close.
Having answered her father's question, Xiaoya then turned to her mother, "Mom."

Her parents then had a noisy exchange. But since her father's intelligence quotient is solely focused on his work, he couldn't win against her mother at all, and so could only continue driving while grumbling angrily.
After Xiaoya arrived at Yunta High, her prosperous peach blossom had attracted many a suitor. On average, she would receive many confessions from people she did or did not know a month, and the number of letters she received was countless. She felt as though she shouldn't incite the budding love of this group of high school students, so for a period of time she was quite cold. So how could there be a boy she was especially close to? And judging from her father's meaning, it was some scandalous love affair?
Having answered her father's question, Xiaoya then turned to her mother, "Mom."

We will stand up for our rights! Miss Yuan's teaching of this class is too subpar, so I won't be attending her in the future for class."
Xiaoya was so pissed off by such a chauvinistic display that she stated bluntly, "Look at the people beside, as in you? Let's not even talk about other people, you went scrolling through my albums, so you should've seen Captain's pictures, right? Do you honestly think there is any part of you that can compare to her? Looks-wise, accomplishments, anything?!!"
Her parents then had a noisy exchange. But since her father's intelligence quotient is solely focused on his work, he couldn't win against her mother at all, and so could only continue driving while grumbling angrily.
Xiaoya's mother then turned back to her daughter from the front messenger seat and said, "Xiaoyu, you must be tired from studying all semester, yes? During the holidays, if you want to go out with your friends, regardless if they're boys or girls, mom won't object, alright?"
Xiaoya: "???"
Liu Xiangyu looked as though he was knocked in the face. "I didn't mean it like that, I was just trying to say that serious love is about getting married. You just haven't been with many people before her, so you only think she is the best. You're still young right now, so it's possible you can chose again. If you look at the people beside you now, you'll find someone more suitable for you."
Her parents then had a noisy exchange. But since her father's intelligence quotient is solely focused on his work, he couldn't win against her mother at all, and so could only continue driving while grumbling angrily.
And seeing the fringe of grey lining her mother's temples, Xiaoya said nothing in return.

Xiaoya's dad: "Xiaoyu, how could you talk like that to your dad? Didn't I tell you before that your not allowed to date in high school!"
Xiaoya: "Yes. And even though the law won't give us a marriage certificate, it doesn't state we're breaking any laws either."
Her mother's expression was the kindest it had ever been in such a long time.
Cheng Kexin didn't know the one who entered was Liu Xiangyu, so she hurriedly tidied up. She had gulped down some noodles too quickly just now, and had risked her life at current for gain a moment of satisfaction.
But before Xiaoya could speak, her mom replied, "What's the big deal for a girl to have a boyfriend? Having a boyfriend is no different from studying, it's not something she can get the hang of in one go. The experience she gets little by little will help in keeping her from being deceived in the future. So, as long as her grades aren't negatively affected, it's fine."
iana: it took all of my being to not use: her bountiful peach blossom hath brought all the boys to her yard. Anyhow, Mr. Nan is like a living, breathing ear pimple, the man barely appears yet can cause so much pain. This man laid eyes on her for no more than two minutes, saw her talking with a boy for a few seconds, surmised they were lovers, and told her parents in haste. Like, WTF?
Xiaoya: "Yes. And even though the law won't give us a marriage certificate, it doesn't state we're breaking any laws either."
Currently, Cheng Kexin took the bowl of noodle soup back out from under her desk, eating as she asked Xiaoya, "Liu Xiangyu doesn't look too good, did something happen while you guys were out?"
And seeing the fringe of grey lining her mother's temples, Xiaoya said nothing in return.
Being modest, Xiaoya replied, "Not too bad." But in actuality, Xiaoya on the exam this time got a lucky buff, the answers for every question was struck or came by luckT/n: the original phrase here is a good luck wish for exams that's a little rhyme about getting all the answers answered or being lucky enough to luck out if you hit a brick wall. , and it had never been better.
Xiaoya: "What does that mean?"
Xiaoya: Which teacher gave them this wrong information???
Their small car continuing its journey to Nancheng.
Currently, Cheng Kexin took the bowl of noodle soup back out from under her desk, eating as she asked Xiaoya, "Liu Xiangyu doesn't look too good, did something happen while you guys were out?"
The female owner of the eatery eventually brought over two bowls of crossing the bridge noodles over to Xiaoya, having received it, Xiaoya gave her thanks then took them. With Liu Xiangyu she made her way back to the school, saying as they walked, "I hope you can help me keep this secret, but if you're no willing to, I don't have the right to force you."
Cheng Kexin: "But what made you suddenly ask?"
Cheng Kexin: "Their enrolment rates are higher, but our high school isn't that bad, either. Besides, if there's a few top students, they'll be able to drive up the performance of the entire class. The school is even willing to put out the cash to do so. A top student can get a scholarship worth twenty to thirty thousand yuan, and the tuition fee is cancelled on top of that. There are still a lot of student whose families aren't that well off in the town."
