No. 24 The First Confession
May 4th. Wenren Shuwu provides free of charge.
He was waiting for Xiao Mi at the entrance of Class 2 early in the morning. However, she didn't show up for a long time, making him start to worry. He had no idea what she had been doing for the past three days. Maybe he should send her a text message...
It's almost time for class. He saw Niao Qiao hurrying to the classroom and caught up with her. "Why hasn't Xiao Mi arrived yet?" he asked. Niao Qiao gave him a white eye and said indifferently, "You've already broken up. Why would she come so early?" Then she dropped him and entered the classroom.
What does it mean?
The morning self-study bell rang. He was still reluctant to wait at the door. He saw the head teacher of Class 2 start muttering on the podium, asking his classmates to focus and study hard for the upcoming mid-term exam. After finishing, he whispered something with a female teacher waiting under the podium. The sound of reading began to emanate from Class 2's classroom. Xiaomi's seat was still empty.
"This is Tong Xiaomi. He was just fine for a few days. How did he start being late again after Labor Day?" The class teacher frowned and walked out of the classroom, onto the corridor. She saw a boy who wasn't from her class standing by the door. "What's going on? Do you have something to do here?"
Han Qi also ignored him. Was what the teacher just said about Xiaomi often being late in the past?
He recalled Nian Qiao's disdainful face and angry words from just now:
"You've all broken up. Why is she still coming so early?"
Is Xiaomi going to school early every day just for him?
The class teacher looked at the student who didn't answer his question, feeling a bit angry. Which student from which class is so rude? Just as he was about to scold him, a running figure swiftly brushed past behind him.
"Report!" A petite figure stood at the door, panting. She didn't forget to turn around and give a salute with her tongue out to this class teacher. He nodded and let her quickly enter the classroom for self-study. Considered letting her off. Turned back to continue scolding that impolite boy, but saw he had walked away.
Han Qi looked at the small figure that suddenly appeared and then disappeared at the classroom door. He felt a sour feeling in his heart.
Didn't she see him? Or didn't she want to see him......?
Han Qi left with a bit of embarrassment. Wen Ren Shu Wu provides free access, just go to Wen Ren Book House [ ]. Has been waiting at the classroom door. It will cause her trouble. Let's come back after lunch.
He who was absent-minded in class came alone to the abandoned music classroom.
Still a quiet place. Still filled with sunshine. Warm and bright.
Once hugged her here. Teased her. Once listened to her happy piano playing here. Kissed her proud smiling face.
But now, there is only that old piano, standing quietly in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, extremely desolate.
Unexpectedly. On the piano. There is a birthday card.
Open it. The handwriting is not beautiful. A bit childish and sloppy:
Colorful Kisses:
Surprise!! Hehe. Happy birthday to you!!
Didn't think so, huh? Hehe. You must have been secretly resentful that I forgot your birthday, right? Guess you'd skip class in the morning to sleep here. So I came here secretly before the holiday and put up my blessings in advance! I should be the first person to wish you a happy birthday, shouldn't I? Hehe!
I've already secretly asked Xiaoyi to take Ni Qiao and Ai Jin out today. So, I can spend a good birthday with you today. But, do you want to celebrate with everyone together? Tell me at lunchtime!＾＿＾！
Ta-da! I've also prepared a birthday gift for you! It's under the card!
I hope you have a great day today!
Kiss kiss.
Rice
Remembered Xiaoyi whispering to Millet. Remembered her mischievous smile when she told him to keep it a secret.
Han Qi covered his chest. His heart was tied together again. It really hurt so much.
Underneath the card. Pressing down on several childish
Colored small paper pieces. Hand-painted with words and patterns on them.
White breakfast voucher: Tong Xiaomi helps Han Qi buy 5 free breakfasts for nothing.
There's a small line of text that says: "Thanks for always getting up early to buy me donuts! Occasionally I'll return the favor! But it's really hard for me to get out of bed early... In the past, I often slept in until just before class too... So, so. Can only occasionally return the favor!"
Green leg massage coupon: Tong Xiaomi helps Han Qi give a 10-minute leg massage × 10 times
The small words written: Dear, every day waiting for me is very hard. Also need to ride a bike to carry me... thank you!
Pink Coupon: Tong Xiaomi can let Han Qi give a kiss on her birthday and make a shy face.
……
Han Qi took a deep breath. Deeply kissed the pink paper strip. Lowered his slightly moist eyes.
He's an idiot. He obviously dislikes the greedy heart of women who are eager to fall in love, yet why can't he wait for Xiaomi to slowly grow up and experience her first love?
He fell in love with this girl. This girl who had opened her arms to him without any guard from the beginning. The simple yet gentle girl who had tolerated his overbearing and arbitrary behavior... made him unknowingly drop all his defenses.
Xiaomi... He wants to see Xiaomi!!
Spent the whole morning in music class. Thinking of many things to say to Xiao Mi. Thinking of how to apologize to her. Thinking of how to make up with her. Han Qi finally made it to lunchtime dismissal.
However, when he rushed to the second class classroom, it was empty. He remembered that today's fourth period for Class 2 was physical education and they should have been dismissed early.
He rushed to the cafeteria immediately. After searching through the crowd several times, he didn't see Xiao Mi anywhere, nor did he see Ai Jin, that monkey. Finally, in a corner of the cafeteria, he found Ni Qiao and Tong Hua. He anxiously asked about Xiao Mi's whereabouts. Ni Qiao completely ignored him. Only Tong Hua timidly said: "Xiao Mi usually goes home for dinner..."
She eats at school just for him...
Han Qi rushed towards the bike shed, jumped onto his bicycle and dashed out of the school gate.
On the shaded path in front of her house that he had walked with her many times, Han Qi finally saw that small back.
Too many emotions buried in his heart. He couldn't shout out the name that had been calling out countless times in his heart. Catching up to the figure with heavy footsteps, he jumped off the car and tightly hugged her.
"Xiaomi..." It was difficult. He softly called out her name. His lips, chilled by the wind, landed on her hair.
The little person in her arms trembled slightly. Let out a cry with a "Wu" sound. Han Qi was afraid of her rejection, so he held her even tighter.
Xiaomi bowed her head and buried it in his arms, sobbing. Tears moistened his clothes.
"I miss you..." came a sobbing voice from his arms, Little Mi's.
"Sorry..." Han Qi's lips landed on her neck. He had thought of apologies, explanations, coaxing, and confessions all morning. But because of her simple and direct sentence, everything became so insignificant.
She misses him.
He doesn't need her to know that he loves her. He doesn't even need her forgiveness. As long as he can take good care of her, accompany her, and pamper her. It's enough for him to be able to hold her when she cries...
"Han Qi..." The choked voice still trailed off. The person in his arms lifted their tear-stained face.
"What's wrong?" He wiped away her tears with his fingers and asked softly, afraid that if he spoke any louder, she would run away from his arms.
Xiaomi's eyes were filled with tears. She looked at him frankly and firmly.
I like you.
She raised her little mouth, covering his initial surprise. Afterwards, it was a long and lingering kiss.
An old tree-lined path. A bicycle lying on the ground. And figures embracing each other tightly.
Tong Xiaomi has completed her first confession.
Thank you for your patience. If you like it, don't forget to vote/collect it!
