Xia Xin Lanâs footsteps were fast, but Chu bingxuanâs footsteps were also fast.
Xia Xin LAN and Chu bingxuan both slowed down.
He always followed her at a distance that was neither too far nor too close, as if he was protecting her.
So this was what it felt like to follow behind and keep the same pace.
His memory suddenly returned to that Midsummer.
It was summer break that year, and Chu bingxuan was the top student of his first year. He was about to enter his second year and participate in the city-wide Olympic Games. The school organized training for everyone.
However, whenever Chu bingxuan went to the junior class, Xia Xinlan would follow him.
There was a road in the school that was surrounded by tall trees on both sides. Cicadas were calling out in the forest.
Chu bingxuan walked in front with a book in his hand, and Xia Xinlan followed behind.
After walking for a while, Chu bingxuan could feel someone tailing him. No matter how good-tempered he was, he couldnât help but feel helpless.
He stopped in his tracks and turned around. It was still Xia Xin LAN.
âXia Xin LAN, how long are you going to follow me?â
Xia Xin Lanâs entire body glowed with the light of the sun. Even her eyes were bright, especially when she looked at Chu Bing Xuan.
That kind of joy could not be concealed.
âIâm not with you. â
âThen what are you doing here?â
In the second half of the first year, Xia Xin LAN had started to pursue him and often created all kinds of coincidences.
Xia Xin LAN thought for a moment and said,âI just thought that the scenery here is very good. The sun is just right. I miss the school. So, I came here to take a walk.â
Chu bingxuan sighed. She really could come up with such a reason in such hot weather.
When he saw Xia Xin LAN staring at him, he pursed his lips and said,ââItâs such a hot day. Donât follow me anymore. Youâd better go home to avoid the heat!â
Xia Xin Lanâs eyes lit up.âChu bingxuan, bingxuan, are you worried that Iâll get a heat stroke?â
Chu bingxuan felt that this girl was so bright after a little bit of sunshine. He didnât say anything more and turned to leave.
âHey, hey, donât be in such a hurry to leave. Iâm not done yet!â
âIâll be late for class if you delay any longer. â
Xia Xin LAN shook her head,âno, no, no.â
Then, she took out an ice-cold drink from behind her and handed it to Chu bingxuan.âItâs such a hot day. You need something to cool down. Here you go.â
Chu bingxuan looked at Xia Xin LAN and the ice-cold drink in her hand. He frowned.âYou can take it back. I donât want to drink it.â
âI originally bought it for myself, but my stomach isnât good and I canât drink it anymore, so you helped me drink it.â
âXia Xin LAN, weâre just classmates and weâre in the same grade even though weâre in different classes. Thatâs why weâre not close.â
Xia Xin LAN was not angry. Instead, she laughed as if she did not know any awkwardness or sadness.âOh, weâve become familiar after seeing each other for a while. You can even remember my name now. You used to call me âclassmateâ but now youâre calling me Xia Xin LAN!â I didnât remember the name wrong. â
Chu bingxuanâs head started to hurt when faced with such a stubborn girl. His brows were tightly knitted.
He didnât say anything more and walked around Xia Xin LAN.
âChu bingxuan, if you donât take it, Iâll go to your classroom and personally deliver it to your desk. Also, if you want to drink ao, Iâll give it to you.â
Xia Xin LAN shoved it into Chu Bing Xuanâs hands and ran off.
In the Midsummer season, the chirping of cicadas was accompanied by the cheerful laughter of a young girl, as if she had encountered something very happy.
