Chapter 2 — It's You Who I Wrote In My Youth

4 Two minutes later. Ta Du An and I stood together in the classroom hallway. Of course, the book cannot be returned. The sunshine is beautiful and the wind blows gently, so warm that it makes people sleepy. I scratched my face and asked: "You help me, why are you saying that book is yours?" Ta Du An leaned one leg against the wall, standing very cool. "I'm tired of sitting, so come stand here to relieve boredom." …Okay. The male lead's level of thinking is truly something that evil female supporting characters like me cannot reach. The fragrant scent of cinnamon flowers drifts in the breeze. My eyes lit up and I pointed down at the base of the cinnamon flower tree in the school yard: "Look, the cinnamon flowers are blooming! Let's go down and pick them later, let them dry and bring them back. My mother makes really delicious cinnamon flower cakes, you can try them when you get home-" I chirped for a while, turned around and saw Ta Du An was a bit dazed, not knowing what he was thinking. I stopped, remembered his family situation, and immediately raised my hand and slapped myself. Damn mouth! If you shouldn't mention something, just mention it! I hastily corrected myself: "No no, don't go home, come over to my house! You're this skinny, my mother definitely won't complain about having one more person to eat!" Ta Du An's eyes wavered slightly, as if he wanted to say something. I looked at him expectantly. Quickly agree, quickly agree! After eating the cinnamon flower cake my mother made, you can't hit me anywhere! “I…” Ta Du An hesitantly opened his mouth. I nodded and cheered repeatedly. Let's talk! Say it louder! Boom! The classroom door suddenly opened, Ms. Du rushed out, pointed at my head, and scolded me like rain: "Are you both still here gossiping? Did you think this was a market or a park?!" Disgusting, why is this the right time! I warmly bowed my head as a quail. After a punishment period, I was forced to sweep leaves all morning. 5 As smart as I am, even though I was sweeping the gymnasium, I still didn't forget my original goal: I secretly picked two large jars full of cinnamon flowers and brought them home. I carried a jar in each hand and showed it off to Ta Du An: "What? Come to my house, there are delicious cinnamon flower cakes!" Ta Du An's eyes were dark and deep, as if all emotions were sucked into them and disappeared without a trace. But at this moment, a slight smile flashed in his eyes—even if only briefly. But in the end he still refused. “Sorry, I can't come home late.” “Oh…” I lost interest and crawled onto the table. At that moment, my brother passed by, heard it and laughed coldly: "Huh, can't come home late? Are you an elementary school student? Do you need me to take your hand and take you home?" This time, before Ta Du An could react, I slammed the table and stood up: "You! What are you saying?!" “I… what did I say?” My brother panicked. "Do you know him... he..." I pointed at Ta Du An, stammering and unable to continue. It's not okay! I read the details about Ta Du An in a book. If I said anything, I might be dragged to a mental examination! Moreover, Ta Du An himself didn't want to tell, and I couldn't even speak for him. Finally, I said "him" for a while, then suddenly tears welled up, screaming: "Do you know, he's not an elementary school student! He's... also a high school student like us!" Listen to the strong atmosphere. But... it's unclear what kind of atmosphere it is. Ta Du An was silent. My brother was stunned. The world fell into silence. On the way home. My brother scratched his head and asked suspiciously: "Hey sister, why are you strange today?" very. Especially... why does it seem like you're defending that guy named Ta?" “What about you? If you don't cause trouble with people, it will be itchy and uncomfortable?" – I glared back. My brother rubbed his chin and thought for a moment: "I don't know why, every time I see his face I want to punch him." “Honey, you must be reaching menopause.” “What?! I'm only seventeen years old!” – My brother panicked. I took the opportunity: “That's it, the physique is different. You must control your emotions and live with principles, otherwise you will quickly become confused in old age!” “R-really?!” "Of course! Is your biological sister cheating on you? My brother did not answer, just quietly pondering... 6 The next time we met again, my brother's attitude towards Ta Du An certainly softened a lot. At least the conversation is no longer teasing or teasing in a salty and bitter way. During physical education class, I took advantage of being a matchmaker and invited the two of us to play basketball. I pulled my brother to a corner and whispered: "Brother, your skills are super awesome, and Ta Du An just moved here, doesn't know anyone yet, take him along, I'm sure he will admire you to the core!" My brother immediately brightened his nose and raised his chin: "Don't worry, let's see my performance later!" I pulled Ta Du An to a corner again: "My tablemate, my brother has been... a bit shy since he was young. I'm afraid something is wrong with him. Please help me keep an eye on him, okay?" Ta Du An nodded slightly: "I know." I breathed a sigh of relief and happily ran to buy water from the vending machine. When I turned around, I saw my brother and Ta Du An... colliding with each other and falling to the ground. … I just looked away for a moment! Besides, you two are teammates, not opponents?! At a loss for words, I quickly walked towards Ta Du An: "Ta Du An, are you okay—" Behind me, my brother's eyes widened and he shouted: "Tham Tue!!" I stopped walking and immediately turned to help my brother: "Brother, are you okay? I'm worried to death..." "It's okay, you know how to care." – My brother chuckled, clung to me and stood up, his eyebrows furrowed. It looks really painful. I bent down to examine the wound. The wound... Can't be seen anywhere. I looked at my brother in disbelief, but his pained face didn't look like he was pretending at all. Um… Probably… internal trauma. I helped him walk a few steps, and was about to turn to call someone to help Ta Du An, when I saw a figure running quickly past. I stopped. I remember now. She is Giang Ninh, the heroine of the story, the girl who grew up with Ta Du An in an orphanage. And today... is the day they meet again after many years of separation. Giang Ninh pushed through the crowd, squatted down, examined and said: "Don't move, let me see if there are any broken bones." She had just touched Ta Du An's trouser leg when he suddenly stood up, moving quickly as if nothing had happened. Ta Du An calmly said: "I'm fine." Giang Ninh's eyes widened: "Is it okay to sit on the ground for half a day?!" Her eyes glanced over me and my brother, then looked at Ta Du An who was pretending not to be involved, then nodded: "Okay, great acting." "And you," - she turned to my brother, "if your joint is dislocated, don't try to go to the medical room, it's dangerous." As she spoke, she bent down and pulled my brother's trouser leg to examine it. Looking for a long time without seeing anything, she stood up again and continued: "Yes, deep into episode two."
