Chapter 6 — It Turns Out It's Still You

Listening to them teasing me, I could only do my homework, my face getting redder and redder, my heart pounding. Finally chased those guys away. I just breathed a sigh of relief. “Don't pay attention to them, they're just nonsense.” “Um.” Actually, I don't dare to tell you, I really like those friends of yours. I also really like watching them play together. You have a group of friends to play with and laugh like that, I really admire it. Furthermore, I can't hate everything related to you. 18 With 2 months left until the university entrance exam, the English teacher organized a special lesson for us to relax. Graduation gift exchange: Each person prepares a small gift, numbers it, then takes turns drawing to receive the gift. I thought for a week I didn't know what to give as a gift. Finally, I bought a card and wrote a handwritten graduation letter. For 5 pages, I wrote all night long, flipping through the books again and again, filtering out all the moral and philosophical sentences of life. When drawing lots to receive gifts, I asked Luc Da: "What gift did you prepare?" “Don't say.” “Okay, I'll prepare a letter.” He glanced over, his face darkening: "What kind of letter is this? It's clearly a love letter." "Huh? No, I copied it from the internet." I explain. "The writing is so beautiful, and you still wrote 5 pages. Are you afraid that other guys won't like you?" I don't understand why he seems upset. “Don't give this as a gift.” His voice was cold. "Why? Do you think this gift is not good?" He sighed, looking serious: "No one likes it, just go buy a random graduation card or something, let me throw this away for you." "Huh?" In the end, I still listened to him and went to buy another card. But the gift I had prepared all week was rejected by him, which was really a bit annoying. During English class, it was my turn to draw lots. Luc Da suddenly leaned closer: "Take number 52." “What do you mean?” “I saw it, it's very suitable for girls.” He is mysterious and mysterious. I'm half-believing and half-skeptical. Actually, gifts only have symbolic meaning, whatever I receive makes me happy. But in the end I still chose number 52. When opening the gift, the whole class exploded. “Fuck, Van Cleef & Arpels four-leaf clover bracelet.” “More than thirty million!” “Who is so rich?” “Du San San has made a fortune this time.” … I stood on the podium, a bit bewildered. Looking down at the classroom, I immediately saw Luc Da, he was also looking at me, smiling extremely happily. “Miss, this gift is too expensive, or…” I was a bit shy, anyway, everyone only prepared greeting cards, simple small gifts, no one gave anything too expensive. This bracelet is truly beautiful, light pink mother-of-pearl, which girl wouldn't love. But it's really too expensive, I don't dare accept it. “Who gave this gift? It's really quite valuable.” The teacher also felt awkward. “Who knows, maybe it's not the real thing?” Suddenly someone in class spoke up. "That's right, we're all students, our pocket money isn't enough, it's probably just a fake product worth ten yuan each." “Ha ha ha ha…” The teacher was confused and quickly reconciled. "It doesn't matter if it's real or fake, this bracelet is very beautiful and suits Du San San very well." Amid everyone's laughter, I quietly returned to my seat. “It's real.” Luc Da, sitting at the back of the class, suddenly spoke loudly. The whole class turned to look at him. “How do you know?” “I buy it.” He calmly looked at those people. The whole class fell silent. I returned to my seat bewildered, feeling a bit panicked. I know, Luc Da wants to help me. But he boldly said this was the real thing, I was afraid he would be exposed and lose face. “Did you really buy it?” Only then did I remember why he told me to choose number 52. "True or false, I really like it." “You think I,

Luc Da, when you give something to someone else, do you give a fake one? What kind of person do you consider me to be?” He glanced at me with annoyance. My heart started pounding again. “Come here, I'll put it on for you.” He didn't pay any attention to my opinion, grabbed my hand to put on the bracelet.

I'm about to cry. “Everyone is looking.” “Ignore them.” He still has the attitude of not being afraid of heaven or earth, I really don't know what to do with him anymore. Wearing this expensive bracelet, I felt extremely uneasy. “Luc Da, will you give me the bracelet, or... should I tutor you again?” I mustered up the courage to suggest. He looked up from inside his jacket, “Are you crazy?” “No, I just felt like, since I received your things, I should do something for you.” I explain. He glanced at me, "Stop it, I'll talk about what I want to do after graduation." "What's up?" I don't understand. “Because…” He leaned closer, bowed his head, and whispered in my ear: “I heard… it affects your health.” Me: ! Even though I didn't understand what he said... my face immediately turned red uncontrollably. “Luc Da, can you…” I hastily opened the distance between us. “What could it be?” He looked at me and smiled as if he found it very interesting. “Don't joke with me like that, I'm a girl.” I was angry and impatient, and didn't know how to scold him. “Who told you to be curious about so many things all day long, do you blame me?” He leaned against the wall, smiling proudly. He seemed to enjoy teasing me. Every time it makes me blush, I have no words to refute. I definitely ignored him. 19 Something happened recently. Giang Thu changed her seat to sit in front of me. Every day I hear Luc Da teasing me, he keeps frowning. Thinking back, I also find it funny. Every morning he waited for me to go to school, and at night he accompanied me home. Even though I didn't say a word to him, he still quietly followed. “Giang Thu, can you stop waiting for me?” I asked reluctantly. “What's wrong?” Maybe because I took the initiative to talk, a bit of joy flashed in his eyes. “He doesn't like it.” After saying that, I immediately turned away. I mean it honestly. I don't know if it was an illusion, every time Giang Thu and I went to class together early in the morning, Luc Da was upset the whole time, and even during the self-study period he didn't pay any attention to me. Even more embarrassing, to keep me safe, every night Luc Da secretly climbed the wall to take me home, then ran back to the dormitory. At that time, Giang Thu quietly walked behind me. Between the two taciturn boys, I really felt like I was struggling to survive in a narrow space, feeling embarrassed to death every day. The last time those people beat me, the school camera couldn't film it. Luc Da said, the leader had already fled to study abroad. Things just kept going downhill. How do I know? Life must continue, I must try to study to be able to pass the university entrance exam, to be able to change my current situation. I tried harder to study. To be honest, I'm always worried about Luc Da. He definitely won't be able to get into college. After that, we gradually drifted apart. But he is my only good friend, I selfishly want to go to college with him. “Luc Da, which school do you want to enter?” I inquired. “Don't know.” He never paid much attention to this before. “What about you?” “I want to go to the North, I want to play with snowmen.” I said smiling. “Yeah.” “You like playing games, why don't you major in computer science?” I think if he had a specific goal, maybe he would be more motivated to study. As a result, he replied calmly: "Do you want to go to university with me? Why do you keep clinging to me?” Me: “No, I just gave my opinion.” Him: “No

Can you leave me?” Me: “No, I just think you should determine your university goals in advance.” Him: "So worried, I'm starting to suspect you love me." …… He and I really don't speak on the same frequency. I started to have a headache. “Luc Da, please be more serious.” “If I'm serious, I'm afraid I'll scare you to death.” He glanced at me and sighed. Well, I won't say anymore. One day, he suddenly asked me if I really couldn't bear to leave him and wanted to take the same school exam as him. “Of course, you're my friend.” Be the only one. “Just friends?” He was a little unhappy, "Aren't you planning on developing any more?" I don't answer. The ambiguity in the years of youth is truly thrilling and unpredictable. But I know, now everyone must put the university exam first. "Wait until the exam is over. Can we go on a graduation trip together?" I tried to encourage him. “Okay, okay.” He mumbled as he opened the exam paper I gave him, "Just, are you sure there will be no problem staying at the hotel at night?" “Is there a problem?” I don't understand. “It's about human life, don't ask.” Me: …… Why does he keep being so bold and casually saying things I don't understand? 20 I discovered that Luc Da has suddenly become very studious these days. For example, for the first half of class he slept, then for the second half he watched me do my homework. If I make a mistake, he can still see it. “Are you sure this is not wrong?” “Teachers do that too.” "So from now on, call me Master Luc. Master Luc will teach you the easier way."
