Zhou Xiaoyun’s Happy Life

Chapter 155 Li Tianyu’s Monologue—When will you be willing to talk to me?

 My name is Li Tianyu.

 It is said that my name has a lot of origin, because I was the eldest son in my family when I was born, and I was also the eldest grandson in a large family. My grandfather looked through the dictionary for a week and finally gave me this name.

 Since I was a child, I have known that I am the favorite child in the family. Although my family is not rich, my parents love me very much. And my grandparents are very kind to me.

 My parents always try their best to buy me whatever I want. If my father wants to beat me, I just need to shout and my grandfather will come out to stop his violence.

 I'm glad I found the best way to deal with my dad.

 As for Mom, it’s even simpler. I nodded to whatever she said, but in fact I could do whatever I wanted and she had no control over me at all.

However, I always have to act nice on the surface. I have discovered a long time ago that adults are all fierce and stubborn. Their hands raised high always fall down gently, and it doesn't hurt at all when they hit me!

 Later, I started to have a younger brother. However, the birth of my younger brother did not have much impact on me. My position as the favorite in the family has not wavered.

 Two years later, my sister was also born. I didn't like the little girl who cried all the time, so I started running out to play often.

 Gu Chunlai and I have been classmates since the first grade. We live in the same village. The two of us are almost like brothers. His family is better off than mine, so he often buys delicious food for me to eat.

 Once, a boy who was taller than me bullied me because of his strength. The other boys didn't dare to say anything. Only Gu Chunlai rushed up and pulled the tall man away, and even had a rough fight with him.

 The result, of course, was that Gu Chunlai was beaten up.

 However, since then, our relationship has gotten better and better.

I often go to Gu Chunlai’s house and sleep in the same bed with Gu Chunlai on Sundays. The two of us talk endlessly together.

 In the fourth grade, we both arrived at Xingwang Primary School at the same time. We both jumped for joy when we learned that we were still in the same class.

On the first day of school, I was very happy. I ran to the classroom and turned around to talk to Gu Chunlai.

 Unexpectedly, I bumped into a girl.

The girl complained and looked at me. I replied casually and looked at the girl.

 In an instant, I was shocked by those clear eyes.

 Why do I feel an indescribable sense of familiarity? It's like, I should have known this girl a long time ago.

 However, this is obviously the first time I met her.

The encounter that day has always been deeply reflected in my heart. I even remember that she was wearing a floral shirt that day and her long ponytail was very delicate and pleasing to the eye.

 I don’t know why, but I always want to talk to her.

I really want to ask her: Hey, Zhou Xiaoyun, have we met before? Why do I always think you look familiar?

 But, I don’t have this opportunity. Because even though she was sitting in front of me, she never looked back at me.

No matter how shamelessly I talk to her, she ignores me.

I watched her talk to Zhou Zhihai, Wang Jingjing, Wu Mei, Zheng Haoran, and even occasionally Gu Chunlai, but she never talked to me.

 Her eyes never met mine and immediately turned away as soon as they fell on me.

I don’t know where the stubbornness in my heart comes from. I know she won’t pay attention to me, but I still borrow her eraser, pen, and ask questions, etc., even though she never pays attention to me!

Later on, Gu Chunlai kept making fun of me, and Wang Jingjing never looked down upon me.

 Until one day, she seemed to be in a good mood and actually looked at me for several minutes.

 But when I talked to her, she turned her head away again.

 Hey, Zhou Xiaoyun, when will you be willing to talk to me?

If I were to say that the boy I hate the most in the class is none other than Zheng Haoran. He has good grades, is a teacher's child, and is the deputy monitor. It's just that he is better than me in everything. Why does Zhou Xiaoyun just talk and laugh with you and ignore me?

 I have been fighting against Zheng Haoran all day long.

 Finally one day, Zhou Xiaoyun started talking to me. Even though it was because of the quarrel between Zheng Haoran and I, I am very content. It turns out that you will pay attention to me.

Then, I can be more naughty.

That long ponytail kept dangling in front of me. I really wanted to pull it, but unfortunately I never dared.

 The moment she played the accordion in music class, I just wanted to stand up and applaud. It sounds so good. She is so beautiful when she is addicted to music. Why is she so good?

 The beautiful chalk calligraphy on the back panel was also written by her.

 I don’t know what else she can’t do.

She reads very beautifully. Whenever she reads, I listen very carefully. If she suggests words for the whole class to memorize, I never make trouble and write obediently.

  I just wish she could say a few more words to me.

 Even if she just glared at me and scolded me with a straight face.

　　Gu Chunlai has laughed at me countless times behind my back, but I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

 That day, Gu Chunlai and I went to play game consoles again. Recently, we both go there often. I really like playing, but unfortunately I can only go to the game console room on Sundays.

 I didn’t expect to meet Zhou Xiaoyun.

I shamelessly pulled Gu Chunlai and followed her to Xinhua Bookstore instead of playing the game console.

 She spoke to me for a long time that day, more than all the words she had ever spoken to me before combined. I listened to every word.

There was a care in her eyes that was unfamiliar to me. Although she didn't want to show it, I knew she was doing it for my own good.

 Looking at her retreating figure, I said to myself: Li Tianyu, you have to change yourself.

 Actually, this is a very difficult thing for me. I am used to being lazy and rarely do something seriously. It is really difficult to focus on studying.

You have to refuse Gu Chunlai’s tempting suggestion to play game consoles.

 However, when I made progress in the final exam, I felt very satisfied. It turns out that it feels so good to seriously feel progress!

 She encouraged me a few words, and I was very happy.

 Sorry, Gu Chunlai, I don’t want to play game consoles anymore.

 I want to study hard and seriously, and I want to keep up with that girl's footsteps.

 Even though it is very hard, very hard.

I applied for Qiming Middle School and looked forward to continuing to be in the same school and class with her in middle school.

 I have been reviewing nervously before the exam. I am afraid that I will not pass the exam. I hope I get better, I hope those eyes cast approving glances.

 So, I was very nervous when I got the notice.

I was so excited and happy when I found out that I had passed the exam, but it was a pity that I had to separate from Gu Chunlai. It doesn't matter, he and I will always be good friends.

 But why did Zhou Xiaoyun get admitted to Yingming Middle School?

 Her joy and smile dangled in front of my eyes, and I was so frustrated that I couldn't speak.

 It turns out that I still can’t catch up with you. When I thought I was running fast, you were running much further than me.

 I saw her joy and the reluctance of her and her friends, and I wanted to say goodbye to her.

 But she never looked back at me.

 I left the primary school campus with Gu Chunlai sadly.

 Farewell, Xingwang Primary School!

 Farewell, Zhou Xiaoyun!
