No words could express Shi Niange’s feelings at this moment. This feeling filled her heart and she had kept it for several days.
Qin Siting was too good…
In fact, with the teacher and class monitor, Lin Xu, clearly wanting to change her seat, if he really didn’t like her sitting by his side, he could have remained silent.
But he kept her!
In the next few days, Shi Niange’s heart remained moved. When she recalled how Qin Siting had taken the books from the class monitor and placed them back on her desk, she felt full of energy.
She had to study hard! She couldn’t be left behind by a straight-A student!
For the next few days, when she slept, she would hold her phone and look at the screen, constantly calling Qin Siting’s name in her heart. Although he did not send her any more messages, just these chat records were enough for her to enjoy for several days.
School had already started for three to four days. In these three to four days, everything had been peaceful. It was as though the storm of change of seats had finally passed. Many of the new students had also officially entered the state of preparing for the college entrance examination.
Hao Xiushe and Zhao Xiaoqing didn’t change their seats either. They seemed to have been sitting together since their first year of high school. Anyway, they were students in the last two rows, so teachers usually didn’t pay attention to them.
Her parents had already left the country. As usual, Shi Niange returned to the Li Shui Villa to stay. When Auntie Xiang and Uncle Tai sent her back, they prepared a lot of delicious food for her.
The next morning, Shi Niange brought the chocolates Auntie Xiang had made for her to school. The chocolates were for Zhao Xiaoqing and for Hao Xiushe. There was also a box of fruits she had personally cut in the morning. She placed it in the preservation box and planned to give it to Qin Siting.
She didn’t know why she always liked to bring gifts or food for her good friends. In fact, they weren’t expensive. She just felt that she couldn’t finish all of them alone. It was a pity to leave so much delicious food in the villa for more than two days. She might as well eat with her friends.
She sat in the classroom for half an hour in the morning. As expected, Qin Siting came to school at about the same time as usual. When she saw him unhurriedly walk in from the door and sit by her side with his shoulder bag, Shi Niange recalled what her parents had said to her before leaving the country. Since they were young and innocent, she could fight for him if she liked him. She didn’t want to miss him, nor did she want to leave any regrets for herself. Thus, she was practically looking at him with her starry eyes.
Qin Siting also glanced at her. He was expressionless, but for some reason, Shi Niange felt that he seemed to be in a good mood today. His expression was also mild.
“Almighty Qin!” Shi Niange called her softly. “Good morning ~”
She thought that Qin Siting would not respond, or that he would only reply with a faint ‘en’ as usual. She did not expect him to speak up and calmly say, “Good morning.”
Shi Niange’s heart melted.
She quickly lowered her head and pretended to check her homework. Her heart was beating too fast, so she could only think of a way to calm down.
Qin Siting said good morning to her.
He had said happy birthday and good morning.
She was very good! Extremely good!
Although they did not change seats, almost everyone else did. Thus, she and Qin Siting moved from the row by the window to the row by the other wall and the door. Behind them was the Hai Xiusei, which was to the back door of the class, where the teachers often stood to attack.
This new position had a good view. At the very least, there was no need to specially draw the curtains to block the glaring sunlight. There was a tall wall by the side. When she was tired, she could lean against it for a while.
When they sat there, it was Shi Niange who took the initiative to ask to sit against the wall. Qin Siting agreed and only changed the seats on the left and right with her. Everything else remained the same.
Shi Niange was actually a little careful. This was because every time she had to go out after class, she would be able to speak to Qin Siting. For example, “Almighty Qin, I’m going out for a while”, “I’m back”, “I’m going out to buy water”, “I’m going to the teacher’s place to get something.” Because he was sitting outside, she had to tell him if she wanted to leave from her seat. This way, there would be more space for them to interact. Right now, he would more or less respond, even if it was just a single “en.”
After another half a month, Shi Niange remembered Qin Siting’s arrival time and went to wait outside the school gates. When she saw him walking over from that path, she immediately walked quickly in his direction. “Good morning!”
Shi Niange usually wore her school uniform in an orderly manner. In the whole of senior year, only Shi Niange could be named as the girl who came from an especially good family. However, unlike other girls, she did not look for opportunities to put on makeup, do her hair, or wear all sorts of strange clothes during weekends.
She wore her school uniform from Monday to Friday. She had three sets, and she washed and changed them back and forth. She also wore very ordinary clothes during her weekend tuition classes, and most of them were student clothes. She looked clean and student-like, and she never had any luxury goods that suited her family background. For so long, the only change she had was a new phone, but it was not the especially expensive one. Instead, it was a white, delicate little phone. It was very well-equipped, and she had specially thought of a way to keep the text messages between her and Qin Siting.
At the time, when she was changing her phone, she was conflicted for a long time. Later, Uncle Taitai went to the operator to help her think of a way to keep the message record and save it on her new phone.
Qin Siting glanced at her. “Good morning.”
Another three words!
She didn’t know if it was her imagination, but back then, when he treated her to a meal, it was still considered perfunctory. Now, when he occasionally spoke and responded to her, he was quite serious and no longer perfunctory.
Shi Niange simply stood by his side and followed him in. She really liked the feeling of being able to enter the school with him and start her class. Furthermore, because he was sitting outside, he would stand there and let her sit inside.
This small interaction could make her happy for an entire day.
When she entered the school, she stood by Qin Siting’s side. Seeing that he was used to her following him like this, as though he didn’t mind at all, she leaned behind him and whispered, “I remember that the Qin family should be on the left. Why do you always come from the main road in the middle? Don’t you usually come from home?”
