Be gentle

For most high school seniors, holidays have become a luxury, but for students with excellent grades, the school gives more freedom.Especially for students like Bai Shuyi and Su Yan who have dominated arts and science for a long time, the teacher is more willing to let them master the rhythm of review now that they have completed all the courses.

Bai Shuyi and Su Yan don't need to study by themselves, they will go to the hospital to visit Tao Wan after school every day, and then go home to eat and do homework together.

Huaran's condition was not very good in the afternoon, and the shooting didn't end until five o'clock.The days are short and the nights are long in winter, and it is almost dark by this point.Xu Chen paid more attention to Huaran because of Kevin's unclear meaning, and even began to doubt whether he really had a good impression of her.

Seeing Huaran walking out of the studio wearily, Xu Chen chased her out without thinking.

"Xiaoran, is anyone coming to pick you up? If not, I just happened to drop by..."

Huaran looked startled, "Ah, no need, thank you Mr. Xu, Uncle Wang will come to pick me up today."

"That's right, then be careful on the road, hot spring... have fun."

"Well... thank you." Hua Ran politely thanked and bid farewell to Xiang, Xu Chen looked at her back and fell into deep thought for a moment.

When he first heard about Huaran from Shen Shenshen, Xu Chen didn't pay much attention to it.But after the first contact, he found that he couldn't treat her as a junior.This is actually a very normal thing. He and Shen Shen have many mutual friends, and they don't have too many seniority constraints when getting along.

But the more he came into contact with Huaran, the more he realized that he didn't understand his thoughts.Just like what he said to Bai Shuyi at the beginning, Huaran, who is gentle and kind but has gone through hardships, reminded him of an old friend.

I don't know if it's because of being with Bai Shuyi, although Huaran is much younger than him, Xu Chen always sees the brilliance of a woman like a sister and a mother from her.And combined with her age and experience, this trait is especially distressing.

Xu Chen has been devoting himself to work for so many years, and he has passed his [-]s before he knew it.He originally thought that compared to his younger sister, his first love was definitely not unforgettable, but now looking back suddenly, he found that he never got out of that experience.

So, will Huaran be the right person for him?Should he work hard for this heartbeat that even he can't be sure of?

Although it has been going on for a while, Su Yan is still not used to Bai Shuyi's quietness.After the two of them had dinner, they reviewed the books together, and Bai Shu finished his school homework quietly and then started to do extracurricular expansion questions.

"Xiaobai, can you see if there are other ways to solve this problem? It seems a bit cumbersome for me to do so."

Su Yan and Bai Shuyi are both top students. Although they are divided into arts and sciences, they often discuss topics in Chinese, mathematics and English.But Bai Shuyi was obviously absent-minded today, Su Yan called her several times but she didn't respond.

"Xiaobai!" Su Yan pushed her helplessly, "Are you thinking or are you in a daze?"

Once Bai Shu came to his senses, he said in a daze, "What what?"

"Ask your question."

"Oh~ let me see, which question is it?" Bai Shu moved closer to her, looking very serious.

Su Yan couldn't see it, and suddenly slapped her face.Bai Shu was taken aback for a moment, then looked at her in shock.

"You, why did you hit me?"

"Does it hurt?"

Bai Shu just remembered to cover his face, "It doesn't hurt..."

"Are you putting too much pressure on yourself?"

"Ah? Is there? Do I seem to be under a lot of pressure?" Bai Shuyi put on a flustered and anxious look, touched his face and said, "Is it the wrong expression or the wrong emotion?"

Su Yan patted her and said angrily, "I'm telling you seriously, you're not right anywhere."

Bai Shuyi smiled awkwardly, and said nervously, "It should be alright?"

"At least you didn't hide it from me... What happened to you and sister Xiaoran?"

"Hey...it's okay, we're fine. Don't you have a question for me?"

Seeing her dodging eyes, Su Yan thought about him, how could he believe her?

"Speaking of which, I never asked you, are you and her... already in that kind of relationship?"

"Ah? No, how is it possible? We are not that kind of relationship." Bai Shuyi quickly denied it, as if he was afraid that she would misunderstand, "Sister Ran doesn't like me in that way, don't guess, Sister Ran will be troubled."

Su Yan frowned, doubting: "Really? I thought you were so close..."

"Then we've always been so close, it's normal between girls."

"I still think you guys have been a little weird recently."

Su Yan was very sure, Bai Shuyi still showed a somewhat lonely expression after all.

"...That's because I asked the wrong question, which troubled her."

"noob……"

Bai Shu shook his head, not wanting to listen to her comfort.

"I know it's not the time to think about this kind of thing, whether it's her or me. I was too impulsive at the time... But it's okay, I want to focus on my studies first. And sister Wan didn't wake up, so I shouldn't Thinking about things."

Su Yan showed a thoughtful expression, "Well, it seems that you have thought clearly. To be honest, I don't know how to comfort you. After all, I don't understand. But I want you to know that I I have always been very grateful to you, and I like you very much, so I hope you can still be yourself. I think everyone is the same...including sister Xiaoran."

When Su Yan, who used to be so lonely and awkward, said such words to her, Bai Shu was so moved that his nose sore, and he almost shed tears.

"I know……"

Seeing that her mouth was flattened, Su Yan seemed to be about to cry in the next second, she opened her arms and smiled helplessly: "Don't cry, I'm not good at comforting people, give me a hug?"

When Bai Shu thought of the scene where Su Yan had an awkward fight with him, he couldn't help but want to cry and laugh at the same time.

"Thank you Su Yan, thank you very much."

She hugged her friend, feeling sad for her experience and happy for her change.Growing up is really accompanied by too much pain, she doesn't know how many things she has experienced before she knew Su Yan, to be so strong now.

And what about herself?Can she be as strong as Su Yan?Can you afford the mistakes you have made, and can you afford the future you want?

This incident did not shake her feelings for Huaran, but it did shake her confidence.She is not sure if Huaran really likes her, and whether her liking will hurt Huaran.

Su Yan patted her on the back, "Okay, let's not thank you and thank you. Brother Xing told me before, let me rely on my friends more. I listened to what he said, and now I think you should do the same. If you really want to say who is at fault for sister Tao Wan's matter, it is definitely not your fault, we can bear it together. As for other aspects... I won't say much, I know you will figure it out sooner or later."

Bai Shuyi felt some strength from her friend's support, she raised her head and was about to say something, but saw Huaran standing at the door of the study at some point.

"Dye sister?"

Bai Shu called out in a daze, Su Yan sensed someone behind her, let her go and looked out the door.

Huaran had already walked in, with a smile on her face.

"Xiaobai, are you doing your homework?"

Bai Shu wiped the corners of his eyes, tried his best to smile and said, "Well, sister Ran, have you had dinner yet? We have left some food for you, just heat it up."

"I've eaten," Huaran said as she took out a stack of coupons from her bag and handed them to the two, "Xiaobai, everyone must be quite tired recently, and it happened that Mr. Xu gave me some hot spring tickets. It’s time to relax together.”

As soon as Bai Shu took it, he looked at it, and found that it was a VIP ticket for a hot spring scenic spot in the suburbs. There were eight tickets in total, and the time was right after Huaran's sixth game.

"Did Uncle Xu give it to you?"

"Well, it was opened by his friend, and he gave him some tickets, and he just gave them to me when he was busy."

"Oh... very good, the weather is so cold now, it's good for everyone to go to the hot springs together. With eight tickets, we can call Shangchaowanwan and let Brother Xing drive us there... By the way, we need more Thank you Uncle Xu."

"It's okay, I will find a way to return the gift... Don't count me this time, I really want to go with me when I come back from New Year's Day, so you can invite more friends."

The more Su Yan listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. Although the expressions of Bai Shuyi and Huaran were normal, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with the conversation, she just felt that the atmosphere between the two was a bit strange.

Bai Shuyi neither agreed nor refused, "Sister Shen Shen is coming back? I haven't seen her for a long time."

"She said she would come to see you and brought you a gift."

"That would be great...do you still go back to the pharmacy at night?"

"Well, I won't be back after taking Aunt Bai's shift. It's been quite quiet recently, and I can also prepare for the competition."

If there was anything wrong with such a conversation, it would be that it was too polite.

Su Yan felt that after "opening up her heart", her ability to empathize became much stronger, and at this moment she felt a little embarrassed for the two of them.

"Then I'll go there with you...it's quite dark outside, I'll pick up my mother."

"What about Xiaoyan?" Huaran looked at Su Yan, Bai Shuyi seemed to remember that she was there.

Su Yan hurriedly said: "I just finished my homework, and I plan to go to bed early tonight, so I'll go back now."

As soon as Bai Shu looked at her gratefully, Su Yan didn't meet her gaze, quickly packed her schoolbag and slipped away.

Bai Shu cleared his throat, "Then let's go."
