Chapter 39 Drowning
When Tao Ziyi was first assigned to the first intensive class, he was actually not very satisfied.
The class she entered by virtue of her strength had to share the same teacher resources with a group of young men who came in with money, just because the rich fathers of these young men needed a topic to talk about and show off.
But when she saw the handsome boy with a cold and frowning face quietly leaning against the railing of the corridor, silently watching them laughing and fighting, she was still a little surprised and... a little throbbing.
Girls' hearts are mostly like this. A good-looking and pleasing boy will often lead to one or more crushes. What's more, this boy has excellent grades and is more in line with Tao Ziyi's romantic partner.
From then on, Tao Ziyi began to pay attention to Lu Quanze inexplicably. After all, how many people can stay in the same class for three years in high school?
Fate ah, the day is destined.Tao Ziyi thought so.
Lu Quanze and Shao Han became tablemates, although they separated within a week.
The reason was unknown, even though Tao Ziyi didn't think much about it, he could clearly feel that Lu Quanze's indifference towards Shao Han was getting worse day by day.
After the two of them separated, Tao Ziyi never dreamed that the bald head teacher seemed to have listened to her wish, and it was like a miracle that Lu Quanze became her deskmate.
It was only later that she realized that instead of having an extra tablemate, it was better to say that there was an extra group of stylish atmosphere.
After all, a humanoid statue that sleeps from morning to night is rare, and Tao Ziyi's favorability for Lu Quanze has dropped again and again.
But as long as Lu Quanze speaks a word to her, the favorability will be as disobedient as a dog.
"Squad leader, can you knit a scarf?"
scarf?Did she hear wrong?
"Forget it, it's normal for girls who study well to not be able to."
Is this praising her or belittling her?
"Wait, who said I can't do it? What kind of style do you want to learn, unit treasure, double ingot, up and down stitches? Fishbone needle or double rib stitch?" Tao Ziyi smiled.
The old lady is obviously very versatile, and a virtuous and handsome guy at home is a must.
However, she didn't know at that time that handsome guys are reserved for handsome guys.
"...What kind of method is this?"
Seeing Lu Quanze's stunned expression, Tao Ziyi was very proud.
Unexpectedly, the man suddenly took out a dark blue hand-woven scarf from the drawer, and for a moment he didn't know what words to use to describe that scarf.
Tao Ziyi can swear that she has never seen such a bad hand-woven scarf in her short ten-year career.
There were disconnected threads everywhere, either fewer stitches or more stitches, so that the entire scarf was woven into big waves, and it was still blue with the smell of the sea.
How beautiful must this girl be to be so handicapped?
For some reason, Tao Ziyi felt a sour feeling in her heart. As long as Lu Xiaocao cherished this handicraft, she couldn't bear to touch it any more.
"Wait, your scarf..."
A big blob of stain nestled on it like a dark cloud, just adding a "heavy and colorful" touch to an already terrible scarf.
Lu Quanze's gaze was cold, without a word of explanation, he just silently put the scarf away and carefully put it in the drawer.
"Hey, the person who wove this scarf worked very hard. They wove the double ingots."
"Then I want to weave double ingots too." Lu Quanze said impatiently.
……childish.Can't you come up with a complicated trick to surprise the other party?Tao Ziyi complained silently in her heart.
"Do you know how... outrageous he is? I've never seen someone weave a scarf like this!" Tao Ziyi yelled strangely.
Sheng Yu smiled and took a sip of Americano coffee, "He really knits?"
"The needle is so long," Tao Ziyi made a gesture in the air, "In order not to make big waves like you made, he abruptly marked the needle as a ruler, hehe."
"Pfft, cough cough cough."
Sheng Yu immediately put down the coffee cup, her whole face flushed from holding back.
"Are you okay?" Tao Ziyi asked worriedly.
"It's okay, it's okay, you continue to talk." Sheng Yu slowed down for a while, and finally calmed down and smiled embarrassingly.
"His weaving has a robotic feel, very serious like an old lady."
"You know that he is lethargic, and often falls asleep on the table in the middle of knitting. It's really scary to do this a few times a day! But the teacher doesn't care about him, good grades means lawlessness."
There was a smile on the corner of Sheng Yu's mouth, a pair of peach blossom eyes were shining softly, and Tao Ziyi looked at her cutely for several times.
"You guys love each other so much, I'm so envious."
Suddenly, Tao Ziyi's voice caught Sheng Yu by surprise.
"No—I mean, how do you know that?"
For some reason, Sheng Yu blurted out the word "no" uncontrollably, Shao Han hurt him like a poisonous thorn, as long as he was there for one day, he would never believe Lu Quanze's love for him.
He admitted that he was cowardly, but he couldn't gamble anymore.
Even though he already knew that the humiliation he had suffered before was a scam arranged by Shao Han, those people were all bribed to use money to speak nonsense and intentionally stimulate him.
Lu Quanze didn't throw away the soiled scarf, and even wove one carefully and gave it back to him. Sheng Yu once thought that the lavender scarf was bought by the man in a mall because it looked too machine-made after all.
As for the love letter, it was Shao Han who went through Lu Quanze's drawer privately. Before he could open it, he was snatched back by someone who happened to come back. There was no circulation and ridicule as mentioned in the class reunion.
Tao Ziyi said that Lu Quanze was so angry that day that he almost moved his hands. It was hard for Sheng Yu to imagine such a scene. Although he and Lu Quanze fought many times, they were mostly jokes.
After all, Lu Quanze was really scary when he got serious.Sheng Yu is not his opponent at all, let alone Shao Han who has no power to restrain a chicken?
From the beginning to the end, Lu Quanze didn't do anything wrong to him, Sheng Yu, and even protected him and carefully maintained the friendship between the two.
But it was because of this that Sheng Yu felt particularly sad. Lu Quanze was fine but just didn't like him.
Once such a fact was revealed, Sheng Yu felt even more uncomfortable.
It turned out that there was nothing wrong between them, whoever Lu Quanze was with was his right, and it was his freedom to choose whether to tell others.
As an outsider, what qualifications does he have to criticize?
No matter how much Sheng Yu pretended to be calm, Tao Ziyi could still see the embarrassment in his eyes.
After a moment of silence.
"I don't know how to put it...but I trust my gut and what I've seen."
Tao Ziyi suddenly said solemnly, "He likes you."
Sheng Yu smiled, he shook his head, he doesn't need any comfort, it's good to be awake.
"Do you still remember the time when you accidentally drowned in the second year of high school?"
Tao Ziyi said hastily, Sheng Yu frowned and sat upright, a little puzzled.
He did have an accidental drowning in high school. At that time, everyone organized a barbecue before the holiday, and the location was chosen in a park near the school.
Sheng Yu can't remember the name of that park, but only remembers that the trees there are so tall and the lake is so big that at the moment when she suddenly fell into the lake and was pierced by the icy water, large swathes of dark and gloomy green came into view , like the scream of panic suppressed in his throat, fell silent.
He struggled frantically in the lake, but he couldn't escape from this invisible cage. He slowly lost consciousness like a cub who couldn't find a way out, allowing the darkness to engulf his powerless body.
On the way to find him, Lu Quanze ran into a panicked Shao Han, "Where's Sheng Yu?"
The tall boy's face was gloomy and anxious, but for some reason Shao Han felt a little pleasure in his heart.
"Are you looking for him? It seems to be on the other side of the lake." Shao Han pulled out an ugly smile, and the panic in his eyes was evident.
Just looking at each other, Lu Quanze understood instantly.
He knew too well how nervous and crazy the skinny and cowardly boy in front of him was.
Lu Quanze didn't care about anything else, he pushed the person standing in front of him to the ground, and hurried to the lake.
The huge lake looked as calm as a mirror at first glance, even though he called Sheng Yu's name no matter how much he still couldn't hear any response.
In the silent forest, the only sound in Lu Quanze's eardrums was his heartbeat, which was about to explode violently.
Suddenly, he saw a white streak across the surface of the lake, and his white fingers quickly sank into the water again.
At that moment, he was shocked on the spot, and the fear he had never had before filled the air like a vast ocean.
For the first time, I was so frightened that my legs went limp, so that my mind went blank and my breathing stopped, and I could only hear the sound of blood rushing through the blood vessels.
After about three or four seconds, he jumped into the lake frantically looking for Sheng Yu's figure.
At the moment when he was rescued, Lu Quanze could still feel the knife of death on his neck, and the fear had been shrouding his head.
It wasn't until Sheng Yu spit out the accumulated water in his stomach and slowly opened his eyes that Lu Quanze's high hanging heart fell.
So that the highly tense nerves were instantly relaxed, and he could no longer see Sheng Yu's weak face soaked in water. The trees were lush and green, and an inexplicable voice came from his ears.
"You can't lose him..."
He should have known that Sheng Yu was as important as his life to him.
He didn't know whether it was too late or not too late to wake up, but he instinctively hugged the trembling young man in front of him, calling for his life.
Sheng Yu recalled that drowning, in addition to fear and fear, he also had some doubts.
Who hates him so much for wanting to play tricks behind his back?
Also, Lu Quanze, who rescued him, had a very strange expression at that time. It was an indescribable emotion, so that Sheng Yu felt inexplicable palpitations every time he thought about it.
"Although I didn't go to that event, but...the night they came back for self-study," Tao Ziyi shrugged and tried to say in the most relaxed tone: "Lu Quanze was crying all night."
Tao Ziyi can still think of that not-so-quiet night, when her classmates were laughing and fighting all the time, so noisy that she wanted to beat their dogs on the head violently.
What's more, Sheng Yu, who was in the liberal arts class, was drowning and attracted the attention of the principal and grade director.
Some of the participants in their class were called to ask for details, except for Shao Han who returned home from illness, everyone was very excited.
Who is behind the scenes?They all said that Sheng Yu was usually too beautiful to snatch other people's girlfriends and suffered retribution.
Tao Ziyi also agrees in his heart, but he is more angry. He is too good to be missed by thieves. What kind of aggrieved thing is it?
She didn't have the heart to gossip and just wanted to yell "stop making noise", but her voice was choked in her throat, just because she saw her somewhat unusual deskmate.
The boy leaned against the wall and turned his head, only half of his face with tough lines could be seen. There was something crystal hanging on Lu Quanze's chin. She looked at it for a long time before realizing that it was tears.
The man just sat there crying silently, without saying a word or making any movement, the silence was terrifying.
It's just that she was inexplicably overshadowed by Lu Quanze's emotions, and she suddenly understood the feelings of her deskmate.
The night Tao Ziyi's mother was found to have a cancerous tumor and was sent for surgery, she also wept silently, trembling and unable to say a word.
No matter how successful the operation was, she still couldn't control herself from crying for a while.
As long as death does not happen to you, you will never know how deep the fear and shadow it brings.
Lu Quanze in front of him is also a normal person who can be afraid, which is not surprising.
It was also at that moment that Tao Ziyi's love for Lu Quanze quietly passed away.
