Volume 1 Chapter 5: A Day of Continuous Disasters in the Drafts

  "How are you still here?" It's been half an hour since school let out, and he's still waiting here? How silly.

  "I'm waiting for you." He had been waiting for a long time and didn't see her appear, thinking she was gone. He knew she wasn't happy all day today and ignored him. When he looked at her, she was always talking to the person next to her. He saw Xie Hangyu (the boy sitting behind her) pull her hair several times, but she didn't get angry. He didn't know what joke Xie Hangyu told her during class that made her so happy. The whole afternoon his heart felt annoyed, usually he could finish a day's homework at school, now there was still half an English test paper and a Chinese composition in his bag.

  "Aren't you going to wait for Huang Wei?" As soon as this thought occurred, the faint feeling of excitement that had just emerged dissipated, and he said he wouldn't bother with him today.

  "Huang Lian?" Dan Lan's big eyes looked at me in confusion, not understanding why I suddenly mentioned Huang Lian. Did Sha Shan know her too?

  "Aren't you driving her to school every morning?" I pouted.

  "Are you angry because of this?" Finally figured out the situation, it turned out that I really made her angry, but why did she get angry about this?

  "I didn't." Let me admit that I was jealous, no matter how hard you try to get me to. It's just that what he said is true, isn't my anger because of this?

  "Huang Wei and I live in the same neighborhood, we were in the same class from kindergarten to elementary school, we're just very familiar friends. She said her bike was broken, so she came with me to school." explained Dan Lanlu.

  "Why don't you take your broken bicycle to get it repaired?"

  "She said next weekend go buy a new one."

  "Why can't I just buy it this weekend instead of next?" I thought mischievously.

  "If you don't like it, I'll tell her tomorrow and say......" But what should he say? Shan Lanlu was thinking with some difficulty.

  "Never mind, it's better not to make her late. But after she buys the bicycle, you can't give her a ride anymore."

  "She has her own bicycle, of course I won't give her a ride."

  "Don't send me home today, I'll take the bus back myself."

  "Shanshan, are you still mad at me? Don't ignore me, okay?" The boy's originally happy face fell again.

  "I'm not angry anymore."

  "But..."

  "Is that okay?" I didn't want to see him with a wronged expression again, so I took off the scarf wrapped around my neck and tiptoed to put it on him. After getting along with him, I found out that Dan Lanlu was a well-behaved student in school, gentle and quiet, but in front of someone he liked, he was an easy-to-blush, sensitive boy. "It's almost five ten now, if you go home too late, your mom will worry too, so I don't want you to send me."

  "You gave me your scarf, but you're not cold yourself. Take it back and wrap it around yourself." He said as he tried to untie the scarf I had just wrapped for him.

  "Dummy, you need it when you ride a bike, I take the bus and get off right in front of my house. And besides, there's air conditioning on the bus. But tomorrow, don't forget to wear a scarf, these days are getting colder and colder, can't let me catch a cold." As I retied his scarf for him, I felt like I was his mom or something! Geez, I'm only 15!

  "En, I know." Shan Lanlu nodded. At this time, the bus arrived, and I jumped on. Shan Lanlu stood there pushing her bike.

  I walked into the classroom at about the usual time. When I opened my desk to get the English book for morning reading, I found a bag of hot breakfast inside. Just as I was wondering if it was my deskmate who helped me buy it, a note was passed from behind. Asking who passed it on, they said it came from the third group. Opening it up, it read: "I knew you must have overslept again, so I bought you breakfast. Eat quickly while it's hot, but be careful not to get caught by the teacher!"

  I looked around and didn't see the teacher's shadow. I secretly took out that bag of breakfast from my desk, and my deskmate saw it and exclaimed, "Wow, where did you get it? You brought breakfast!"

  I shook my head and smiled sweetly: "Someone else bought it."

  "Huh? Did Xie Hangyu buy it for you?" Ye Xin deliberately dragged out the tone, saying with a flirtatious face. She had long seen that Xie Hangyu behind her had a crush on Sha Shan.

  "Hey, don't talk nonsense."

  "Really?" Ye Xin still looked suspicious and turned her head to glance at Xie Hangyu, who was reading an English textbook, leaving Xie Hangyu bewildered, thinking there was something on his face.

  "Oh, stop your nonsense, okay?" I quickly pulled her back, I was about to cover her mouth, I didn't think Xie Hangyu was anything special to me, but he did like to bully me. Was Lan Lu treating me like a little pig or something? There were at least three different breakfasts in the bag. "Are you going to eat or not?"

  "Of course." She hadn't eaten breakfast either, but she wasn't as lucky as Sha Xiang, having someone buy her a good breakfast.

  "If you want to eat, then don't ask so many questions." I started tempting him, heh heh.

  "But I really want to know!" The secret of delicious food and good friends is indeed a difficult choice. Ye Xin looked at the steaming breakfast and couldn't help but swallow her saliva.

  "No way, it's a secret." I took away the food in front of her and winked at her mysteriously.

  "Fine. But I'll find out sooner or later anyway." Ugh, she's really too spineless. Delicious food, for you, I even set aside my good friend's secret.

  Today I was really unlucky, during physical education class, I first threw a solid ball and hit my own foot, even our physical education teacher said that he couldn't figure out how it hit the foot. Logically speaking, this solid ball should have been thrown forward, no matter how close it wouldn't fall on its own sole, truly there's nothing strange under the sun.

  Then the teacher asked my classmates to send me to the school infirmary, so Ye Xin supported me along the inner side of the track. Just as we were about to leave the playground, a football flew out of the football field at lightning speed and hit my left shoulder straight on.

  Our school's football field is right in the middle of the playground, but logically speaking, Ye Xin was walking inside me, and the danger factor should be even greater than mine. But this football just flew towards me so evilly, with a huge impact force plus my right foot that had just been injured and couldn't stand still, I was knocked to the ground in front of everyone's eyes. In Ye Xin's cry of surprise, a boy rushed over and helped me up from the ground together with Ye Xin.

  The boy asked me anxiously if I was okay, and whether he should take me straight to the hospital. At that time, I was already in so much pain that tears were streaming down my face, my right foot hurt, my left shoulder had a severe ache, I couldn't move at all, and the back of my head was also swollen from the impact just now.

  "How did you kick the ball? What if something happens to her?" Ye Xin was also frightened by the series of events, and she couldn't help but redden her eyes, scolding the boy loudly.

  "Sorry, sorry. Let's send her to the hospital first." The boy saw my appearance and knew that the situation was serious, the school infirmary wouldn't be enough, it would be better to go to the hospital for a check-up.

  Then the two of them, one on each side, helped me out of the school gate, hailed a taxi and went straight to the Municipal People's Hospital. The doctor couldn't help but curiously ask what had happened when he saw my miserable state, with injuries all over my body. My right foot was swollen red from being hit by the solid ball, although I wouldn't be able to walk for several days, it wasn't a big problem. As for the back of my head, after taking an X-ray, fortunately, there was no concussion. The most serious injury now is probably my left shoulder, the doctor said that if the force had been any stronger, my left arm would have been disabled, luckily the one who kicked me was just a teenager. However, I still need to wear bandages for about two weeks.

  After the doctor finished bandaging me, Ye Xin said she would go back to school first and ask for leave from the teacher, and also help me bring my backpack over. Since I was injured like this, there was no need to go back to school. The boy knew he had done something wrong, so he volunteered to stay with me.

  When Ye Xin returned to school, it was just the time for the third class to end. She went to the teacher's office to ask for leave, and the head teacher asked about my situation with concern, then let Ye Xin help me sort out my homework and send it to me. When Ye Xin returned to the classroom to tidy up her bag, she saw Shan Lan rushing over anxiously and asking: "Is Sha Shan okay?"

  They happened to have a physical education class separated by gender today, and when he returned to the classroom after finishing his physical education class, he heard several girls talking about a series of injuries to Sha Shan. Listening to it made him nervous, but he didn't know which hospital she was in. After one lesson, nothing was heard, only worrying about how she was doing now. Finally, he waited for her deskmate to come back, and without caring about anything, walked from the third group to their seat.

  Ye Xin came back and unexpectedly brought Lan Lu with her. Doesn't he need to attend classes either? Why did they all come here? At this time, I didn't care whether Ye Xin would know about the relationship between me and Shan Lan Lu or not. Even if she knew, I believed she wouldn't say it out loud.

  Lan Lu looked at me with a pained expression, her eyes filled with sympathy as she took in my bandaged and bruised appearance. After a while, she asked softly, "Does it hurt a lot?"

  I shook my head, "It's much better now, I almost fainted from the pain back then." I've never been a girl who cries easily, Mom said that when I was little and learning to walk, I would get up by myself after falling down. But this time, soccer actually brought tears to my eyes.

  After knowing who was responsible, Danlan Lu looked at him with a hint of hostility, angry that he had caused Shanshan to become like this. "The teacher has already allowed you to go home and rest in the afternoon, I will help you sort out those class notes and then send them to you."

  I nodded, looking at Lan Lu's tense and concerned expression, which was rarely seen. The pain I had earlier was all gone now. "I want to eat ice cream." When did I learn to be so spoiled, making unreasonable demands in front of Lan Lu?

  "But it's so cold..."

  "I just suddenly really want to eat." Now I'm the victim, and victims are always right, but I'm probably the most gluttonous victim in history.

  "Wait a minute, I'll go buy some." Which store would still be selling ice cream on such a cold winter day? But my little brother sometimes really is silly and obediently ran out.
