Unrequited love is originally something that can't be seen by others.
"Wow, it's his first again!"
"Right! Every time there's an exam, he's always first! No matter if it was liberal arts or science, now that he's studying science, it's still the same!"
"It's said that he was always first in junior high school! If I were him, there would be no need to worry about studying liberal arts or science!"
"It's useless to envy him, after all, a school grass can't just have a good face, right?"
Lucy Yang listened to the words of the people around her, and then squeezed into the crowd with effort. When she stood in front of the red list, looking at the familiar name that ranked first, the corners of her mouth began to rise slightly unconsciously, and a flower bloomed instantly in her heart, as if she had taken the top spot herself.
She stared at the three words "Duan Chenliang" on the red list, somewhat unbelievable. He has always been so excellent, whether in the past or now, as long as he is there, he is a dazzling light.
Lucy Yang made a silent vow to keep up with his footsteps. She thought about her future study plan while squeezing out of the crowd.
The summer breeze blew gently, and Lucy's bangs were slightly lifted. She closed her eyes, tilted her head back slightly, and took a deep breath of the fresh air. The hem of her school uniform skirt fluttered lightly in the wind.
When Lucy Yang opened her eyes, she saw the sun being blocked by the branches and leaves. When the summer breeze blew, the sunlight was swaying back and forth on the treetops. She narrowed her eyes, lowered her head to gaze forward, and saw a young man not far away. The young man wore a clean school uniform, with his hands inserted into his pockets, standing straight under the big tree.
Lucy Yang gazed at him with surprise, his flaxen hair, good-looking peach blossom eyes, but the depths of his eyes were as unfathomable as a deep pool, his straight nose and sexy thin lips perfectly outlined a handsome face. However, there was an added air of maturity between his eyebrows, and in just one year without seeing each other, he had grown even taller.
Duan Chenliang.
Lucy Yang silently recited this name in her heart.
"Duan Chen Liang... I like you." This sweet and tender voice caught the attention of Lucas, who only then noticed the girl standing in front of Duan Chen Liang.
The girl looked very well-behaved, her hands tightly clasped together, always with her head down, silently biting her lower lip.
Lucy Yang could feel that the girl was very nervous, but she still silently prayed in her heart that Duan Chenliang would not accept.
Facing one's love rival, having such a mentality shouldn't be excessive, right?
"Sorry, I don't have anyone I like." Finally, Duan Chenliang slowly spoke up and then turned to leave.
Sorry, I don't have someone I like.
This direct and unadorned way of refusing seems cruel, but it also gives the other person back their dignity.
Sorry, I don't have a crush on anyone. It's not just you, those pretty girls in school, I don't like them either.
So, when Duan Chenliang said that, the person who confessed didn't feel very disappointed, but rather it was Lusi Yang who was surrounded by a strong sense of frustration. Clearly this was the result he wanted, yet when he rejected someone else, he himself felt contradictory and sad. That feeling was as if his seven-year unrequited love had been discovered by the other person, who then rejected that carefully guarded emotion with an attitude of "I treat everyone the same".
Lucy Yang clenched her fists and stared at Duan Chenliang walking towards her, her heart suddenly racing.
He strode towards the wind with big steps, and the sunlight filtering through the leaves sprinkled starry dots on his face, but couldn't cover up the faint furrow of his helpless expression.
Why did he feel helpless?
In Lucas's memory, no matter who confessed to Duan Chenliang, he had never accepted anyone. Perhaps, too many people confessing to him made him think that confession was a boring and time-wasting thing.
So, for you, is my one-sided love also equally boring and a waste of time?
Lucy Yang gazed at the person getting closer and closer to her, suddenly losing the courage to gaze, in the instant she brushed past him, she quickly lowered her head, pretending to tidy up her bangs.
When Duan Chenliang walked past her, the wind he brought with him made her smell the faint fragrance on his clothes. Lucy Yang would always remember what brand of laundry detergent it was. After all, she had once sniffed through every brand of laundry detergent in the supermarket to buy one that smelled similar.
That faint fragrance seemed to make time flow backwards, and Lucas saw his past self who always secretly followed him, the one who was so flustered by an unintentional eye contact that he didn't even dare to lift his head, the one who would bring him a share of delicious food but never had the courage to give it to him... Lucas slowly lifted his head, standing still on the spot and staring at the gradually disappearing figure in the distance, his heart suddenly feeling empty.
After all, what kind of girl can make him like her?
Lucy Yang clenched her fists silently, vowing that she must not disappoint herself after seven years of secret love.
Until the boy's back became a small black dot, everything in front of him was replaced by the dark yellow diary on the desktop, and Lucas realized that he couldn't help but think about what happened at noon again.
She sat on the chair in her dormitory, staring at that diary with no words written on it, still didn't know how to start writing.
"Lucy Yang, I've been waiting for your call all afternoon, but you're just spacing out. What a waste of a great weekend!" Just then, a helpless voice rang out in the quiet dormitory.
Lucy Yang slightly furrowed her brow, raised her head to see Gu Bai Mo lying on the bed playing with his phone, and was somewhat surprised. She lowered her head to glance at her watch, it was now 3:30 in the afternoon. If Lucy Yang wasn't mistaken, Bai Mo should have left an hour ago.
Just as Lucas was about to speak, the song "Wait a Minute" from his phone's playlist started playing. Although the song was no longer popular, it was now eerily relevant, which made Bai Mochou feel extremely uncomfortable. Before Lucas could even open his mouth, Bai Mochou quickly got out of bed and swiftly grabbed Lucas' phone to turn off the music player.
Gu Bai Mo stood beside Lucy Yang and said angrily into her phone: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait for your sister!"
Lucy Yang furrowed her brow slightly and gazed at Bai Mo with an innocent face.
Bai Mo had a beautiful oval face, clean and white. Her hands were clasped in front of her chest, with big wavy curls falling down to her waist, a stunning beauty. After a while, Bai Mo sighed and said: "Lusi Yang, what are you thinking about?"
Lucy Yang slowly withdrew her gaze, no longer looking at Bai Mo, but she still didn't say a word, her eyes fixed on the notebook on the table. After a while, she picked up the pen on the table and quickly wrote "September 6th" in her diary.
"Lucy Yang, what are you writing in your diary in broad daylight?" Bai Mo stood beside the desk, calling out in surprise, her voice clear and pleasant.
Lucy Yang was startled by Bai Mo's voice, and her pen drew a zigzag line on the diary. Lucy Yang looked up at Bai Mo helplessly, and suddenly lost the urge to write. She quickly closed her diary and locked it in the drawer.
"Gu Bai Mo, when are you moving out?" Lu Xi Yang turned his face and looked at Gu Bai Mo seriously.
"What's wrong? I didn't say I wanted to move dorms!" Bai Mo looked at Lu Xi Yang in confusion, Lu Xi Yang's serious expression gradually turned into a disgusted look, and Bai Mo suddenly understood what Lu Xi Yang meant. She smiled and said, "You're doomed, for the next three years of high school, we'll be roommates."
Not long after entering school, Lucy Yang and Gu Bai Mo inexplicably became good friends. Gu Bai Mo was very boisterous, while Lucy Yang was very quiet, but the two people somehow had a tacit understanding.
At that time, no one thought that the time Lucas spent with Gu Bai Mo was just a brief encounter, and it didn't last three years at all.
"You're too noisy, I have no choice but to dislike it." Lucien Yang slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said calmly, "Why don't you call him yourself?"
She suddenly slumped like a deflated balloon and plopped down into the chair beside her, still hugging herself with both arms crossed over her chest, pouting and saying angrily: "Even if he calls me now, I won't answer!"
At the end of the conversation, a mobile phone ringtone suddenly sounded in the dormitory. Bai Mo was overjoyed and completely forgot what she had just said. She immediately jumped up from her chair and climbed onto the bed to look for her phone.
"How come you didn't call until so late? I've been waiting for your call all afternoon!" Bai Mo said as he walked out of the dormitory while answering the phone.
Lucy Yang watched as Bai Mo disappeared at the door and suddenly burst out laughing.
The wind blowing in from the window gently caressed Lucy's hair, and the blue sky was so bright that it was dazzling. Lucy sat on a chair and stretched her waist, then looked around the entire dormitory. The dormitories of Yu Hua High School were all six-person apartments, with beds of the upper bed and lower desk type, each person having an independent desk and wardrobe. Although the dormitory was a bit small, its geographical location was very good, sunny, and the light was bright enough.
Lucy Yang got up from the chair and walked towards the dormitory bathroom when the door of the dormitory was suddenly pushed open. Lucy Yang instinctively looked at the door and saw that Lu Man, who lived in the adjacent dorm room, had just entered with a large suitcase.
Lu Man had a slanted fringe and short hair that reached her ears, and she was always dressed in a very showy manner. She was the person Gu Bai Mo disliked the most. Perhaps because Gu Bai Mo was his good friend, Lu Xi Yang also didn't like Lu Man much.
"This is Gu Bai Mo's, where should I put it?" Lu Man looked at Lucy Yang with a rather cold expression.
Lucy Yang pointed to the cabinet on the right side of the door and replied indifferently: "Just put it there."
Lu Man followed what Lucy said and put away the luggage, when she was about to turn around and leave, she suddenly asked: "I heard that you used to attend the same junior high school as Duan Chen Liang?"
Where did you hear it from? Who told you?
Lucy Yang gazed silently at Lu Man, whose mouth corners were slightly raised, without saying a word.
Lu Man saw that Lucas didn't say anything and continued to ask: "As soon as I came to this school, I heard all sorts of rumors about him. Was he also a legendary figure in your middle school?"
Lusiyang didn't answer Luman's question, but instead asked Luman back: "Who is Duan Chenliang?"
Lu Man burst out laughing after hearing that, her hands clasped together in front of her chest, and she taunted Lu Xiang: "I was going to ask you something, but it turns out you're just a bookworm, oblivious to the world outside your window, only knowing how to read books."
You're the bookworm, your whole family are bookworms!
Lucy clenched her teeth in silence, Lu Man's smug face making her extremely disgusted.
Lusi Yang thought that Lu Man was leaving, but she didn't expect Lu Man to say one more sentence: "By the way, remember to tell Gu Bai Mo, the box was sent by me."
"Got it." Looking at Lu Man's back, Lucy Yang replied softly.
From then on, Lucy Yang thought that Lu Man was a very careful girl. If Gu Bai Mo knew that Lu Man had touched his things, he would definitely go crazy.
So, Lucy Yang won't let Lu Man's little trick succeed.
