Chapter 573 [Extra: Chanxi] (4) Breakup in Junior High School

When the second year of junior high school started, some gossip and rumors began to spread within Class 5.

Soon afterwards, because Ying Chanxi's parallel class was used to suppress the key class, these rumors spread to other classes.

So much so that even Zhao Rongjun couldn't help but ask Li Luo privately: "Are you really dating Ying Chanxi?"

"What the hell are you talking about?" Li Luo looked at Zhao Rongjun in surprise, and then noticed that the guys who were eavesdropping nearby pricked up their ears. He was immediately speechless, "How could I possibly fall in love with that housekeeper?"

"But I heard from others that you two were very close during the summer vacation." A classmate next to him whispered, "Ying Chanxi even ran to the playground to look for you when you came home."

"My mom found out that I didn't do my summer homework, so she came to call me home." Li Luo's face darkened and he said unhappily, "I asked her to say something nice for me, but I didn't say anything. As a result, I got beaten up."

“Is this relationship not good?”

"Our two families are next door to each other." Li Luo said speechlessly, "But living next door to each other means we have to fall in love? What's wrong with your brain?"

"That's true." Shao Heqi beside him nodded vigorously, "It doesn't look like that to me. They are just spreading rumors."

"That's right." Jin Yuting said, "They are not a good match. Xixi is the top student in the grade. If she wants to find a boyfriend, he should be from a key class."

"That can't be said, right?" Shao Heqi showed a dissatisfied expression when he heard this, "The key class is not invincible. Don't we have several people in our class who can make it into the top 160?"

For example, Shao Heqi ranked in the top 100 in this semester's entrance exam.

If we only count the people within Class 5, then he and Ying Chanxi are definitely the most suitable match.

At least that's what Shao Heqi thought.

Especially since Ying Chanxi was the monitor of Class 5 and Shao Heqi was the deputy monitor, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this was the case.

……

Soon, this matter reached Ying Chanxi's ears through Jin Yuting's mouth.

Having just heard that someone was spreading rumors about him and Li Luo, Ying Chanxi appeared calm on the surface, but his heart was pounding.

But when he heard what Jin Yuting said, Li Luo directly denied it. Ying Chanxi's face suddenly darkened and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

So when he went home from school on Saturday, Ying Chanxi packed his schoolbag and looked for Li Luo on purpose, but when he didn't see him, he went downstairs to the school basketball court.

Sure enough, Li Luo was playing basketball.

When Ying Chanxi walked to the sidelines, he heard several other students whistling, with teasing looks on their faces and laughing.

Li Luo noticed Ying Chanxi on the sidelines and was speechless. He quickly ran over and said before Ying Chanxi could speak: "What are you doing here? Go away, go away, don't disturb me playing basketball."

"I have something to tell you." Ying Chanxi was a little unhappy, frowned and said, "If you want to fight, then fight. I'll wait here for you to go home together."

"Are you annoying? We're going to play for the whole afternoon. Are you going to stay here for the whole afternoon?"

"Just wait."

"It's up to you." Li Luo couldn't do anything with her. He rolled his eyes and continued to run back to the court to play.

As a result, Ying Chanxi actually waited here for several hours.

The other students couldn't stand it anymore, so they simply ended the game early, put on their backpacks and said goodbye to go home.

So at around three o'clock in the afternoon, Li Luo had no ball to play and could only walk home with Ying Chanxi.

"Thanks to you, I played for at least two hours less." Li Luo was walking on the road, kicking pebbles. The young man's energy had not yet been fully released, so he could only vent it on pebbles.

"It's not like I forbid you to fight." Ying Chanxi was walking nearby and saw the small stone under Li Luo's feet kicked in front of him, so he kicked it into the bushes next to him.

"Hey you!" Li Luo suddenly became anxious, and then glared at Ying Chanxi, "Why do you always go against me? Did I owe you in my last life?"

"Maybe I owe it." Ying Chanxi snorted, "Besides, just walk and look forward. Don't kick the pebbles. It's dangerous."

"That's really nosy."

The two of them bickered all the way, causing Ying Chanxi to not say what he wanted to ask. It was not until they were about to return to the community that Ying Chanxi found a gap and asked Li Luo: "Have you heard any gossip recently?"

"What gossip?"

"It's about the two of us."

"You heard about it too?" Li Luo raised his eyebrows, then waved his hand nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I've told them, it's not the case at all."

"……What's the meaning?"

"How can we be in love? Isn't this funny?" Li Luo laughed twice, "I hope you don't bother me all the time."

Hearing this, Ying Chanxi's face suddenly turned cold. He glanced at Li Luo, snorted angrily, and quickened his pace to move forward.

"Hey, why are you walking so fast?" Li Luo noticed that this guy was in a bad mood, so he quickly chased after him, looked at Ying Chanxi's profile curiously, and then asked suspiciously, "You don't like me, do you?"

"Only a ghost would like you!" Ying Chanxi raised his foot to kick him, but Li Luo dodged it nimbly. So Ying Chanxi carried his schoolbag and went home without looking back.

I didn’t even go to Li Luo’s house for dinner.

……

From that day on, the two of them began to deliberately avoid each other.

Originally, on weekends, Ying Chanxi would take the initiative to go to Li Luo's house, help Lin Xiuhong, and have dinner together happily.

But since then, Lin Xiuhong had to ask Li Luo to call people before Ying Chanxi would come.

As for school.

In the past, the two of them would go to the cafeteria to eat together.

After that, we never ate together again.

In particular, Ying Chanxi still maintained her top position in the grade and no one could threaten her at all, while Li Luo's grades did not improve at all.

The gap between the two was widening. Lin Xiuhong was also very disappointed with him and kept comparing him with Ying Chanxi, which made Li Luo more and more annoyed.

So unlike when they were little, in the second year of junior high school, Li Luo and Ying Chanxi no longer stayed together as often as before.

Li Luo played ball and chatted with the boys, while Ying Chanxi stayed with the girls. They each had their own circle.

But just as the second year of junior high school was about to end and the second summer vacation of junior high school was about to begin, Li Luo passed by the door of the head teacher's office after school and heard a familiar voice coming from inside.

"Ying Chanxi, the learning atmosphere in our key class is definitely much better than that in the parallel class. Why don't you consider it?"

"I've thought about it before, Teacher Li." Ying Chanxi's voice came from inside, "And I really like Teacher Zhang's teaching style, and being in a parallel class won't affect my chances of getting first place in the grade."

"Are you really not going to reconsider this?" Teacher Li from the key class asked, "Can I show this notice to your parents?"

"My father respects my decision, so there's no need." Ying Chanxi shook his head and said, "Or you can call my father. Anyway, I have no plans to change classes."

Li Luo stood outside the door and eavesdropped, then he heard footsteps of someone coming out, so he quickly hid in the corner.

Glancing at Ying Chanxi's figure coming out, he silently watched Ying Chanxi leave, then quietly walked back to the office door.

"Teacher Li, why don't you just forget it? I've already asked you once last summer vacation. Now you're in the third year of junior high school. If you change classes again, you'll have to adapt to the new environment. Why bother?" Teacher Zhang Wei said inside.

"I heard there is a student named Li Luo in your class?" asked Teacher Li.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Is Ying Chanxi dating him?" Teacher Li asked, "Will this affect Ying Chanxi's studies?"

"First of all, there is no such thing as premature love in our class. Teacher Li, please stop talking nonsense." Zhang Wei's voice also became serious. "Also, Ying Chanxi's first place in the grade is unquestionable, and it is obvious that he has not been affected in any way."

"Humph!"

Li Luo heard the footsteps again and ran away quickly. After Teacher Li from the key class left, he silently looked at Teacher Li's back, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.

Last summer vacation?

When did Ying Chanxi reject the proposal to change classes?

He didn't even know.

Is it because he is in Class 5 that Ying Chanxi refuses to transfer classes?

Li Luo thought of this and immediately shook his head.

How is it possible?

…The final exam results are out.

Ying Chanxi is still top of the grade.

Lin Xiuhong was furious when she saw that her son ranked more than 400th.

So this summer, Lin Xiuhong ordered Li Luo to stay at home and arranged for Ying Chanxi to prepare a complete review plan for him, and he must study hard.

Originally, Li Luo thought that when the time comes, he would let Ying Chanxi cover for him, and he could continue to play basketball and play games as usual.

As a result, this time Ying Chanxi acted contrary to his usual behavior and supervised very strictly.

This made Li Luo very unhappy.

"We must have had a grudge in our past lives."

"Don't talk too much, just write quickly."

“I can’t write anymore.”

"Didn't I teach you? They are all the same type of questions."

"How is this the same?!"

"You didn't listen to me at all." Ying Chanxi was also a little annoyed, "Can't you study hard? Otherwise, how can you get into the No. 1 Affiliated Middle School?"

"Why should I pass the exam? Wouldn't it be better if I couldn't?" Li Luo said rebelliously, "It's just better to stay away from you."

"You just want to stay away from me. It would be best if you never see me again, right?" Ying Chanxi also got angry and asked through gritted teeth.

"if not?"

"Then don't learn it anymore! Go play your ball!" Ying Chanxi angrily threw his pen on the ground, stood up, turned around and ran out.

Li Luo was stunned when he saw this.

By the time everyone reacted, Ying Chanxi had already disappeared.

“Oh no…”

Li Luo knew he was in trouble, so he quickly got up and ran out of the door.

He first took out a spare key from the gap of the couplet on the opposite door and opened the door of Ying Chanxi's house, but he didn't find anyone at her house.

So he ran out of the community and looked around on the main road, but Ying Chanxi was no longer visible.

After searching for an entire afternoon, Li Luo returned to the community exhausted. He looked at the rooftop of his own building and suddenly thought of something.

So he climbed all the way to the rooftop, pushed open the door, and saw a petite figure squatting in the corner with her back to him.

The setting sun cast its afterglow, highlighting Ying Chanxi's profile, which looked particularly beautiful.

Li Luo silently walked behind Ying Chanxi and carefully poked her back.

Ying Chanxi moved aside and didn't want to pay attention to him.

"I've been looking for you all afternoon, and you just sit here all afternoon? Your legs must be numb, right?"

"I want you to take care of it?"

"Look, look." Li Luo laughed, "Don't you also dislike others controlling you? Then why do you like controlling me so much?"

"Don't bother me. You don't want to see me anyway. Let's not meet each other in the future."

"Is it not okay that I was wrong?" Li Luo poked Ying Chanxi's back again, "Come on, come back with me. If my mother finds out, she will beat me again."

"I'll help Aunt Lin beat them up."

"Are you still human?"

"I'm going to beat you up right now!" Ying Chanxi turned around and raised his cute little fist. His face looked fierce, but he looked cute no matter how he looked at it.

In the end, he didn't really beat me.

"I was wrong." Li Luo apologized again, "I'm sorry, okay?"

"Then do you study hard?"

"Learn, learn, learn. I can learn, right?"

"That's pretty much it."

……

Li Luo said he wanted to learn, but in fact, his enthusiasm was only short-lived.

After Ying Chanxi calmed down, he only persisted for a few days before quickly returning to his old ways and failing to learn at all.

So when the third year of junior high school started, Ying Chanxi still often chased him and asked him to review well, just hoping that Li Luo could be admitted to the same high school as her.

However, because his grades were too poor, Li Luo gave up on himself early on and realized his own strength.

And when Ying Chanxi successfully passed the independent enrollment of the No. 1 Middle School, Li Luo felt that the two of them were not on the same level at all.

Once the high school entrance examination is over, you are destined to be people from two different worlds.

So on the day before the high school entrance examination, on the way home from school.

Li Luo waved his hand.

Ying Chanxi fell to the ground.

Looking at Ying Chanxi's back with tears in his eyes as he was supported by Jin Yuting and left, Li Luo watched the scene with a numb expression.

A voice in his heart told him that he should catch up with her now, just like he did during the summer vacation. As long as he apologized to Ying Chanxi, she would definitely forgive him.

Just an apology...

He knows this very well.

Ying Chanxi is such a little girl who is easy to coax and very easy to deceive.

I can make her happy with just a few words.

It has been like this since childhood.

But he finally turned around and said to Zhao Rongjun: "Why are you still standing there? Let's go play ball!"

……

Graduation day.

Shao Heqi was very flattered. When Ying Chanxi asked him to take a photo with him, his mouth was almost split open with smile.

Then he watched Ying Chanxi call another classmate and take a group photo.

"Eh? Me?" A fat boy in the class was stopped by Ying Chanxi and asked to take a group photo. He was immediately surprised and even a little frightened.

After tremblingly taking a photo with Ying Chanxi, the little fat boy watched Ying Chanxi continue to look for people to take photos with.

Soon, Ying Chanxi had only one person left to take photos with.

Li Luo sat in his window seat, glanced at Ying Chanxi approaching, and then looked out the window: "No shooting."

Ying Chanxi clenched the camera in his hand and stood quietly beside the table for several minutes, as if waiting for Li Luo to change his mind.

But Li Luo just tilted his head and looked out the window, without even looking at her.

Finally, Ying Chanxi turned around, walked to the back door, handed the camera to Jin Yuting, secretly pulled her sleeve and whispered: "Tingting, can you do me a favor?"

……

At the back door, a young girl stood there with her back to the classroom window in the distance. She raised one hand and made a "yeah" gesture, with a reserved and somewhat lonely smile on her lips.

Between the two fingers is the back of a boy.

Jin Yuting pressed the shutter button.

Freeze this scene.
