Playing the Bili

June 9th, it rained in the morning and then the sun came out.

I felt that the memories under the grape trellis last night were like an unfinished dream. I sat up, rubbed my head, and was dazed for a moment. I heard a sobbing sound like the sound of a reed pipe in my ears.

After breakfast, I strolled outside. The streets were damp, and my feet felt sticky as I walked. When I reached the bridge spanning the river, I saw clouds, seemingly painted with light blue, floating in the distance, layer upon layer to the south. A breeze stirred on the river, making the clouds appear to move. Passersby and tourists on the bridge raised their hands to shield themselves from the wind and dodge the sputtering electric bikes, making it difficult to enjoy a peaceful walk.

Liu Chang'an's walking pace and absent-minded habits make it quite normal for him to be hit by electric bikes or bicycles on this road; he gets hit by one or two every few days.

Today there wasn't one. He checked the time and walked a little faster than usual. When he arrived at the entrance of the Affiliated High School, Huang Shan was finally not waiting for people at the school gate.

After the two-day break for the exam, first and second-year high school students still have to come to class, as there is still almost a month before the start of summer vacation.

For recent high school graduates, only those who plan to continue their studies will have summer vacation ahead of them. For those who are about to enter the workforce, every day from now on can be a leisurely vacation if they want.

For students who went to great lengths, perhaps even mobilizing their entire family, relatives, and friends to get into the Affiliated High School high school, the possibility of giving up their studies after the senior year is extremely slim. After all, as one of the four traditional top high schools in the Junsha, the Affiliated High School high school has a first-tier university admission rate of over 90%, and the other three schools are similar.

Many parents have a simple idea: since the college entrance rate is so high, it means that the children are focusing on their studies, which means there will be fewer fights and trouble, which makes them feel more at ease, since there are quite a few messy things happening in schools these days.

But anywhere, there are situations where hormones can trigger violent tendencies in teenagers. When Liu Chang'an arrived at the gymnasium to wait for An Nuan, he encountered Chen Changxiu.

Chen Changxiu is a junior in high school, and he won't be a senior until next semester. An Nuan has already graduated. Although he has never had a chance, he still feels particularly frustrated. His biggest "love rival," Liu Chang'an, is said to be following An Nuan in filling out college applications. He is obviously a good-for-nothing who only knows how to chase women, but this kind of guy can make girls happy! How could girls of this age understand that Chen Changxiu is a real man, with personality, temper, and a combination of sunshine and masculinity?

Chen Changxiu is a smart man, and he also has the character of becoming more courageous and cautious after setbacks. This time he brought four people, who are the main players of the Affiliated High School basketball team. Could Liu Chang'an really take on five of them?

"Good morning."

Chen Changxiu stared fiercely at Liu Chang'an. Liu Chang'an felt it wouldn't be good to ignore her, after all, she was a human being, not a barking dog on the street, so he smiled and greeted her.

"Someone told me yesterday that An Nuan was coming to school to practice today, and I knew you would definitely come." Everything was within Chen Changxiu's calculations and control.

"Yes, that's why I got up early and even washed my hair."

I'm going to blow your head off.

"You can't destroy it."

Liu Chang'an often speaks earnestly to others, but there are always people who don't believe him. An Nuan arrived at the gymnasium a little later than Liu Chang'an and saw Liu Chang'an standing at the entrance of the gymnasium, with Chen Changxiu and four members of the school basketball team standing behind him.

"An Nuan! An Nuan! Everyone loves you!"

"An Nuan! An Nuan! Flowers bloom wherever you go!"

"An Nuan! An Nuan! The most beautiful in the Affiliated High School!"

When Chen Changxiu and his group of five saw An Nuan, they started shouting slogans. An Nuan felt goosebumps and was extremely embarrassed. There was no doubt that this was Liu Chang'an's doing. She went over and pulled Liu Chang'an aside, asking, "What are you doing?"

"They were captivated by your beauty," Liu Chang'an said, pointing at Chen Changxiu. "They did it spontaneously."

"They did it on their own?" An Nuan glanced at Chen Changxiu, whose face was bruised and swollen, and punched Liu Chang'an. "Do you think I'm stupid? Tell them to disperse!"

"Thank you everyone. If you have time, you can come again tomorrow." Liu Chang'an sincerely thanked Chen Changxiu and the others, even though it seemed to have little effect.

Chen Changxiu left without looking back. He would never pursue An Nuan again; he had lost all face. How could he possibly have any dignity left in front of An Nuan?

The five people left. An Nuan glared at Liu Chang'an, annoyed. Liu Chang'an smiled at An Nuan, and An Nuan's lips gradually curled up. She couldn't hold back any longer and raised her little fist to punch Liu Chang'an's chest. "You're so annoying! Always fooling around!"

Liu Chang'an just smiled.

"It's a good thing we've already graduated. If it had been like this in the first year of high school, I don't know how many messes you would have gotten into over the three years," An Nuan said, her tone a mix of regret and relief.

"If you could go back to your first year of high school, what would you do?"

An Nuan glanced at Liu Chang'an discreetly. She had just thought about this yesterday, but thankfully Liu Chang'an couldn't possibly have known what she was thinking. She chuckled and said, "I'll try my best to bring you and Bai Hui together."

"Then I'll try my best to bring you and Chen Changxiu together!"

"How could you do this?" An Nuan said angrily.

Why can you?

"I... I was just saying!"

"I was just saying."

"I can only say it casually, but you're making me angry." An Nuan seriously lectured Liu Chang'an, "Don't you understand such a simple principle?"

"That's not reasonable of you..."

"I won't tell you..."

"All right."

In front of the gymnasium of the Affiliated High School high school in the summer, Liu Chang'an finally gave up on reasoning with An Nuan, who tilted her head with a slightly smug and satisfied smile.

This often happens because people insist on reasoning with others simply because the other party has no right to be unreasonable.

Upon entering the gymnasium, An Nuan went to the locker room to change. Two other volleyball team members who had graduated from high school, Zhao Chenchen and Ma Yilin, also arrived. They had less training time than An Nuan during their senior year, so they wanted to intensify their training while there was still some time before the league. Everyone wanted to achieve a satisfactory result after three years of training.

"Hi," "Hi," the two girls greeted Liu Chang'an. Liu Chang'an often went to the gymnasium to watch An Nuan train, and everyone on the volleyball team knew him. They went to the locker room to change clothes and came out with An Nuan a little while later. Although the other two were somewhat different from An Nuan in appearance, they were both tall and long-legged girls. Moreover, they were not sports majors and did not have the more robust physique of professional athletes. Their figures were still in line with the general aesthetic.

Taking advantage of Liu Chang'an turning around, An Nuan tiptoed behind him. She had seen the text message from last night, but how could she possibly stand in front of him and tiptoe to test him? What about a girl's modesty?

At this moment, Liu Chang'an turned around, An Nuan, who had just stood on tiptoe, quickly took the opportunity to do a few hopping and jumping movements in place.

She looked around nervously, her cheeks still flushed from guilt.

"Why are you still wearing a watch?" Liu Chang'an reminded An Nuan.

"Oh..." An Nuan was slightly expectant. He had finally noticed. While taking off her watch, she touched her arm and looked at Liu Chang'an, saying, "The watch is black, which makes my hands look very white, doesn't it?"

"You're all white," Liu Chang'an said.

An Nuan blushed slightly and playfully hit Liu Chang'an. She was indeed all white, but was that something a boy should say? It was indecent... Most importantly, he was such an idiot! Didn't he hear how much he emphasized the words "watch" and "very white"? He seemed completely oblivious to her obvious hint.

It's so obvious, anyone could understand that, right?
