It was Saturday again, and the teacher let us rest for a night as usual. Keeping the strings too tight is not good for health.

When the bell rang for the end of the afternoon get out of class, everyone's tense nerves finally relaxed and they all went out.

Some people want to go to the streets to learn what they need. Those with better-off families will go to the town to cook some delicious dishes, improve their meals and reward themselves.

For those of us who are not financially able to do so and do not like to watch the fun, we usually eat in the cafeteria, lie down in the dormitory to rest, or make an appointment with a few friends to go to the river to get some fresh air and clear our heads.

However, it was a bit cold that day, and most people would not choose the latter. But Wang Fang and I were not ordinary people. We quickly finished our meal and took Zhang Huajun to the long embankment by the river to enjoy the breeze.

The riverside in winter is bleak and deserted. The river water flows slowly, icy and piercing, as if it has lost its former vitality.

The trees on both sides of the river had long lost their lush branches and leaves, leaving only bare branches, trembling in the cold wind.

On the river bank, withered yellow grass grew in a disorderly manner, with no vitality at all.

The once bustling river embankment has now become deserted and no one is seen.

Occasionally a few jackdaws flew across the sky, and their cries echoed by the quiet river, adding a bit of desolation.

There was a hint of chill in the cold air, which made people shiver.

This endless depression and silence cannot dampen our interest.

The sun shone on the calm river, sparkling with tiny sparks. Each of us picked up a small flat stone.

Bend down slightly, adjust your posture, and then throw the stone hard towards the water.

The stone drew a beautiful arc in the air and fell into the water with a "splash", splashing a series of water.

Immediately afterwards, the stone jumped on the water, once, twice, three times... as if it was dancing a cheerful dance on the water.

We had happy smiles on our faces and watched the stones jumping on the water intently, enjoying the joy of the moment.

The breeze from the river gently blew on our already slightly red face, bringing a hint of coolness.

The birds around us also seemed attracted by this cheerful scene, chirping as if cheering us on.

As the stone jumped for the last time and sank into the water, we smiled with satisfaction and prepared to challenge a higher record again.

At this moment, we smiled at each other, and in this way, we released the long-standing pressure.

"Liu Feng, you are here!"

Just as we were about to continue happily, I heard someone calling me.

I looked up and saw Zhang Chen standing on the top of the embankment waving at us.

"Zhang Chen, why are you here?"

The moment I saw Zhang Chen, I was a little happy.

My heart beat faster involuntarily, as if a group of deer were bumping into my chest, making it almost impossible for me to breathe.

I felt my face getting hot instantly, as if I could hear the sound of my own heartbeat.

I tried to stay calm, but my mind was completely confused and I couldn't stop thinking about every detail about him.

This feeling was both exciting and scary, and made me involuntarily fall into a sweet entanglement.

In order not to affect each other's studies, we deliberately avoided each other, but as we were young, a small seed of love seemed to have been planted in our hearts.

At first, it was buried deep in my heart, silent.

However, every encounter with him is like a spring breeze, bringing warmth and nutrients to this seed.

It began to grow slowly, and a tender bud appeared. Every time I thought of his smile and his words, the bud grew a little bigger.

It constantly absorbs the emotions in my heart and grows stronger day by day. The love in my heart also spreads like a vine, occupying every corner.

This seed of love may be just a weak touch at first, but as time goes by, it has taken root in the heart and bloomed quietly.

We all understood each other, but for the sake of our studies, we quietly buried our feelings deep in our hearts.

For me, Zhang Chen has slowly become the incarnation of the man in black in my dream, and he is also silently protecting me.

The man in black in my dream appeared once after I fell into the water, and I became more convinced that Zhang Chen was his shadow.

We just have to wait for the college entrance examination to be over, release our nature, and then wait for the flowers to bloom.

"Liu Feng, hurry up and come back to school with me. Director Xiao is looking for you all over the school. It seems like he has something urgent to tell you."

Zhang Chen said to me with an anxious look on his face.

Hearing this, I suppressed the slight excitement in my heart, quickly dropped the small stone in my hand, and climbed up the embankment.

I know Director Xiao must have encountered some difficult problems, otherwise he would not have come to disturb me if he knew that I am now in the third year of high school and have a heavy workload.

"Liu Feng, why are you in such a hurry? Wait for us."

When Wang Fang and Zhang Huajun saw me climbing up, they dropped the stones in their hands and followed me.

"Let's go back. Someone wants to see me."

They also heard what Zhang Chen said just now. They walked back with Zhang Chen and me, mumbling dejectedly.

"You finally got a night's rest, but Director Xiao wants to talk to you about something again?"

Wang Fang was very angry. She was having a lot of fun, but Zhang Chen came and ruined the fun. And Director Xiao would definitely call me away if he came.

"I'm sorry, Wang Fang, Uncle Xiao must have something urgent to talk to me about. Can we come and play again next week?"

I apologized to Wang Fang.

"It's okay, Wang Fang. I'll get you a book later."

Zhang Huajun was very helpful in helping me out. I looked at her with gratitude and she smiled at me.

Watching the interaction between the three of us girls, Zhang Chen followed behind us, with a slightly raised corner of her mouth, and looked at me with a very gentle gaze.

We walked all the way to the playground. A police car was parked on the concrete road in the middle of the school. Principal Zhou and Director Xiao were standing next to the car.

"Liu Feng, I finally found you."

When he saw me, Director Xiao came over to me immediately.

"Uncle Xiao, do you want to talk to me about something? Principal Zhou, you are here too."

I asked nonchalantly.

Wang Fang and Zhang Huajun consciously took a detour back to the dormitory, while Zhang Chen still followed closely behind me.

"Well, Lao Xiao, I've found someone for you. I'll go back first. Ask her to finish your business and send her back to me immediately. Don't delay her child's studies. He's in his third year of high school."

"It's not a big deal, but you have to ask other people's children for help. I don't know what the people in your police station do for a living."

"Liu Feng, come back soon, don't delay!"

Principal Zhou glared at Director Xiao and scolded him for a while, then gave me some advice and walked away with his hands behind his back.

"Who is this?"

Director Xiao wanted to talk to me about serious matters, but when he looked at Zhang Chen standing behind me, he asked.

"Oh, this is my classmate Zhang Chen."

I looked back at Zhang Chen and said to Director Xiao.

"Hello, Director Xiao!"

Zhang Chen said hello politely.

"Then classmate, you go back first. I need to take Liu Feng to help me do something."

Director Xiao ordered Zhang Chen to leave.

"Director Xiao, it's so late. Where are you taking Liu Feng? Otherwise, let me accompany her so that I can take care of her."

Zhang Chen was worried about my safety and insisted on going with me without asking for my consent.
