forced to fall in love

==========================

Lingxi's overly obvious "preference" did not reduce the enthusiasm of the people around him, and followed them in twos and threes, with excitement on his face.

There were a lot of people in the stands and the stairs were narrow. Xue Yuanlong rushed over from a distance, but happened to be stumbled by the leg of the chair in front of them. There was nothing at hand to support him, and he was about to pounce on Shen Sui.

Without any thought, Lingxi grabbed Shen Sui's wrist, and turned his body slightly. Because of this force, Shen Sui leaned his back tightly in front of Lingxi, freeing up an "unobstructed" passage.

"what……!"

A black shadow in front of his eyes flew away, and he sat down on the ground suddenly.

Lingxi ensured Shen Sui's safety, belatedly looking at Xue Yuanlong who was sitting on the ground, grinning in pain.

Then he said expressionlessly, "Student Xue, are you okay?"

The sentence pattern is a caring sentence, but the tone is calm, and there is no gesture of caring.

The "favorite" party was firmly protected by her.

Shen Sui felt the slippery fingertips of the person behind her on her wrist, and a burst of heat spread over her. Seeing Xue Yuanlong's funny appearance, the feeling spread in her heart.

The people around were stunned for a while because of the sudden situation, and then rushed to help him.

"No...it's okay." Xue Yuanlong stood up rubbing his buttocks, limped over, and patted Lingxi's shoulder with one hand, "Sure, I saw you right!"

Lingxi didn't speak, and Xue Yuanlong didn't wait for her to speak. He spoke with high spirits, praised her first and then praised his good vision. It's worthy of persuading her for so long, and even cheering Lingxi up.

Lingxi didn't hit him either, and cast a cursory glance at Shen Sui.

Shen Sui lowered his head slightly, looking at Lingxi holding her wrist, as if he was thinking about something.

what.

Lingxi sensed her overreaching, let go of her hand abruptly, and the hand protecting her body also fell down, and moved her body to the side to create a distance.

His eyes seemed to wander, looking at the overturned chair on the ground.

"In a hurry, I didn't mean to."

Because of the distance that Lingxi retreated to the side, the heat disappeared in an instant, leaving only a scarlet mark on the wrist.

Shen Sui frowned slightly, one moment he was in the sky, stepping on the soft clouds, and the other moment he fell into the hard straw mat.

Xue Yuanlong next to him was still chattering endlessly, to Shen Sui's ears, it was just noisy.

"Ah."

Shen Sui responded without emotion, and walked away.

Lingxi looked at her back, inexplicably feeling the change in the surrounding temperature.

"Well, come on."

Lingxi interrupted Xue Yuanlong, turned around and followed Shen Sui.

Lingxi doesn't know the art of speaking, and doesn't know how to change the subject, so he can only observe Shen Sui's expression tentatively.

In the playground below, there were matches one after another, with cheers and greetings one after another, Shen Sui stayed indifferent the whole time and kept his mouth shut.

Lingxi couldn't see the ups and downs of her emotions, so he could only accompany her quietly.

In the middle of watching the game, someone from the rostrum invited Shen Sui to read the cheering script.

"Senior Shen, I still remember the manuscript you read at last year's sports meeting." The one who was sent was a school girl with bangs and short hair. When she laughed, she had two cute dimples.

"Is it."

Shen Sui answered her politely, got up to get water, Lingxi hurriedly did what she had to do, before Lingxi handed over the water.

The school girl said caringly: "Senior Shen, the podium has water ready, just go directly there."

Lingxi's hand was hanging in the air, and his movements were a little slow.

Shen Sui followed her eyes and saw his own figure, which was clear and translucent.

"Well, let's go."

Although he said so, Shen Sui still took the water from Lingxi.

The rostrum is tightly covered, completely avoiding the sun, unlike the stands where you have to move to the shade of the trees.

Shen Sui sat in front of the microphone, selected a stack of manuscripts submitted by his classmates, closed the microphone and cleared his throat.

"Hi everyone, I'm Shen Sui from Class [-], Grade [-], and I'll read the cheers for you next."

"...A manuscript from Class [-], Senior [-]."

A crisp voice resounded from the whole playground. Shen Sui uttered his words with a correct accent. Although he was not as full of emotion as others, he could still hear a different meaning from it.

Like tasting tea, it is slightly bitter at first taste, but the aftertaste is sweet and mellow.

Sitting on the rostrum on a scorching summer afternoon, Shen Sui could also see the faint heat wave above the rubber runway.

After reading the last draft, Shen Sui took an excuse to rest, leaning back in the chair, holding the water Lingxi gave her in his hand, and the coolness flowed down the throat.

what is she doing?

In the next second, Shen Sui stood up, but she couldn't find the person she was looking for.

Stepping over the low ridge on the edge of the rostrum, the upright figure standing under the tree not far away also raised his head.

Shen Sui saw Lingxi's dark eyes lit up by a sudden light.

Only then did she realize that Lingxi didn't go anywhere, didn't do anything, just stood there waiting for her.

"..."

There was wind and sand on the flat ground, and the wind and sand disturbed her mood, but it also wrapped her up from the floating in the air. Only when her feet stood on the ground could she have a real perception.

She was indeed treated special.

……

The sports meeting in just three days passed quickly.

When the class ranking was announced, Class Three failed to become the number one, but it has improved compared to previous years, at least the ranking is in the middle.

Xue Yuanlong's desire to win was slightly satisfied. He was very satisfied. After he came to the stage to receive the award for the first place in a single event, his jaw almost dislocated from laughing, and he happily pasted the award in the middle of the blackboard.

When Shen Sui left, he took another look and the corners of his lips curled up.

Lingxi's parents came home from a business trip and were very happy when they knew that her grades had improved and that she had entered a key class. When they learned that it was Shen Sui who helped her make up lessons, they invited Shen Sui to their house for dinner.

Just like last time, Shen Sui stepped on the soft carpet, sat on the soft sofa, and Lingxi sat beside her.

The difference is that under the light and shadow this time, there are four figures.

A woman in a gorgeous and elegant long dress sat across from her, and a man next to the woman wore glasses and a decent business attire.

"Student Shen, don't be restrained, come, drink water and eat fruit."

"That's right, are you satisfied with the meal just now?"

"Well, it's good, please trouble uncle and aunt." Shen Sui took the apple handed over by Lingxi's mother, and responded politely.

"That's good, hey, don't bother, Mr. Shen, you help Jingzhu make up lessons this time, and her father and I are very grateful to you."

"What about us," said Lingxi's mother, looking at her father, a little ashamed: "Her father and I are too busy, busy with work and career, and seldom come back, even if we want to tutor her in her studies, there is nothing I can do. .”

Shen Sui heard the sound and looked at Lingxi, who was also looking at her with a calm expression.

"...so we want to thank you for helping her with her academic performance."

"No, it's nothing, anyway," Shen Sui paused, "We are also classmates now."

"Quiet..." Shen Sui stopped subconsciously, "She's actually quite smart, she learns things quickly."

"Student Shen said we are very happy."

"We were still thinking at the beginning, what should we do if Jingzhu really can't get into a good university."

"Now his father and I are relieved."

The woman said with a smile, holding the teacup in her hand, she lifted the lid, and the heat filled the air. She took a sip and asked, "What university is Student Shen planning to go to?"

Shen Sui's eyes dimmed: "I haven't figured it out yet, I might choose a better job."

"Ah, like this, that's pretty good, very practical, and has a general direction. Unlike Jingzhu, we asked her before, and she said she wasn't interested in anything."

"Is that so."

Lingxi opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but before she could speak, Lingxi's mother had already continued.

"His father and I were still discussing at that time. If she really has no interest, then she can go to college casually, and when we come out, we can buy her a caravan and see what to do."

"so."

Shen Sui was in a daze for a while, and nodded his head lightly.

"...It's a good thing that's not the case now."

The first time Shen Sui came to LED lights to illuminate the innocence of the people around him, and the second time to illuminate the happiness and happiness of the people and families around him.

Later, Lingxi's parents talked with Shen Sui, Shen Sui didn't remember anything, after dinner chatting for a while, Shen Sui bid farewell to Lingxi's house, and walked on the way home in the wind.

Lingxi accompanied her and sent her back.

The two of them were silent endlessly, the wind blowing in their ears, and the words of their parents seemed to echo faintly, which gradually pulled Shen Sui's thoughts away.

She has a bright future, she has parents who love her, and she has a better life.

However, Shen Sui was burdened with a debt that could not be seen at a glance.

perhaps……

Lingxi sensed Shen Sui's subtle changes and comforted her:

"They told you not to think too much."

Shen Sui looked at the front and didn't know what he was thinking, and looked back at her for a while: "Why didn't you mention your family to me?"

"There's nothing to say, and they don't come back often." Lingxi looked into her eyes seriously.

Shen Suihu smiled self-deprecatingly, lowered his voice, and said to himself, "...but you can live a better life."

"What?" Lingxi didn't hear clearly, and moved closer.

In the dark night, Shen Sui frowned slightly with a complicated expression.

"Nothing, let's go."

Lingxi frowned.

In the next few days, Lingxi clearly felt something strange about Shen Sui.

Shen Sui seemed to have returned to the former Shen Sui who had just met and worked hard. He used all the time he could use to work part-time in the bookstore.

Even the boss was puzzled and asked Lingxi what happened.

Lingxi looked at her figure and shook his head silently.

Not only that, but also returning to the feeling of not letting Lingxi take her home, and even keeping a distance from her.

After Xue Yuanlong passed the sports meeting, he probably unilaterally recognized Lingxi as a good friend, and often came to her to talk about sports-related matters.

Lingxi directly refused, but he didn't care at all, he just changed the frequent to once a day.

Shen Sui would leave his seat every time he approached, but he also seemed to think that Lingxi would follow, so he didn't leave the classroom, just went to the podium to ask the teacher questions.

The voices in his ears kept ringing, but Lingxi only had Shen Sui in his eyes.

It is precisely because of this that Consonance can see Shen Sui subconsciously looking towards her a few times.

But no matter what happens, Lingxi treats her as well as she did in the beginning.

She also accompanied Shen Sui when he was working part-time.

Shen Sui refused to let her be sent home, and she didn't speak, just like when they first met, guarding her from a distance.

As for the classroom problem, Lingxi specially asked Xue Yuanlong to go out between classes, and refused him seriously.

Xue Yuanlong was a little dazed, and then expressed surprise to her. A person who doesn't like sports and hasn't exercised for many years can still be the first in the [-]-meter race, but soon he returned to his usual "brainless and happy" appearance.

However, one night after a week of such days, Lingxi followed behind Shen Sui not far or near as usual.

After passing an alley, Shen Sui disappeared at the corner in front of him in a blink of an eye, and Lingxi followed quickly.

Turning the corner of the street, the light around her suddenly dimmed a bit, and suddenly there was a gust of wind around her, and one hand grabbed her shoulder, pushing her back quickly.

There is a hard brick wall behind him, leaning against it will not only hurt the back, but also knock the head hard.

Lingxi grabbed the opponent's hand along the way, almost throwing him over his shoulder to the ground in almost a second.

But at that moment, Lingxi recognized Shen Sui through the dim light.

Their movements froze suddenly, their eyes met, and they both looked at her and grabbed her hand at the same time.
