Chapter 27: Cold War
Fu Jinting's outburst, “We have no relationship!” and Kong Yiyue's flat and emotionless, “Okay, I know.” instantly cooled the relationship between the two to the extreme.
Kong Yiyue managed to enter the classroom just as the bell rang that day, with a expressionless Fu Jinting following closely behind. His brow remained furrowed throughout the entire afternoon.
Xiang Yi and Zhong Ziyang looked at each other, barely holding back the gossip questions in their hearts until school was over. Fu Jinting went to the basketball court first, and the two of them then came to Kong Yiyue's desk at the same time. Zhong Ziyang sat down next to her and said without hesitation, “What's wrong with you and that guy again?”
Kong Yiyue said lightly: “We don't get along.”
Xiang Yi didn't think so: “You're really capable of making him like this every time, Kong Yiyue.”
Kong Yiyue smiled helplessly: “Thank you for the compliment.”
Zhong Ziyang shook his head, shrugged his shoulders, and wailed: “Can't you guys act like a normal couple for once? This constant cold war is exhausting!”
“I hope so too, but I really don't have that ability, Zhong Ziyang. Did the girls who chased Fu Jinting before also have such a hard time?”
Zhong Ziyang gave a difficult-to-describe look, “Do you think just any girl can get close to Fu Jinting?”
“Are you saying that no one has ever chased him?”
Zhong Ziyang replied: “Can you believe me if I say no one has chased him?”
Kong Yiyue shook her head: “I don't believe it.” How could someone like him have no one chasing him?
Xiang Yi chimed in, “Most girls would probably be frozen in their tracks by his icy glare before they even got a word out.”
Kong Yiyue sighed and said mockingly: “I'm really not afraid of death.”
Zhong Ziyang and Xiang Yi nodded in unison, only adding to Kong Yiyue's sense of resignation.
When the midterm results were posted, Kong Yiyue once again claimed the second-highest score in the grade. The students who had dismissed her previous success as a fluke now cast respectful glances her way.
Kong Yiyue didn't care much about this matter and continued to live her life steadily. After the mid-term exam, the school's sports meet also came as scheduled.
There were mostly boys in Class 1, so the selection of girls for the competition was worrying. The homeroom teacher and the class monitor discussed for a long time, and finally determined the list of girls for the 800-meter relay race, but they were in trouble with the single 400-meter and 800-meter events.
The girls in the class had low physical fitness. The homeroom teacher asked several times in the class which female students volunteered to sign up, but no one dared to raise their hands.
There was no other way but to let the class monitor discuss and negotiate with the female students after class. The class monitor first looked for the English class representative. Originally, she was also extremely reluctant to participate in the competition, but she couldn't resist the class monitor upgrading the personal honor of this competition to the class honor, and then transferred it to the responsibilities of the class cadre. She couldn't stand the class monitor's long talk, so she had to agree: “I will only apply for the 400-meter, I really don't have the physical strength for the 800-meter.”
The class monitor was stunned: “You are the one with the best physical fitness in the class. If you don't participate in the 800-meter, who else can participate?”
The English class representative turned around and pointed to Kong Yiyue's seat, “Isn't there also a second in the grade? Why don't you try to find her?”
The class monitor was stunned for a while, and after regaining his senses, he said excitedly: “That's right, how could I forget Kong Yiyue!” Then he immediately went to talk to Kong Yiyue in depth.
Kong Yiyue really had no interest in participating in such competitions. Although she could run the 800 meters, running was not her strength. If she fell to the end and dragged down the class's points, wouldn't it be a heinous crime?
She refused: “Class monitor, I'm actually not good at running.”
The class monitor waved his hand and didn't mind, “It's okay, it's okay, it's good to be able to finish the run!”
The key was that Kong Yiyue didn't want to run! “I really can't...”
“Okay, okay, Kong Yiyue, don't be humble, the 800-meter will be left to you, and we boys will try to catch up with the rest of the points!” He said, trying to take a pen to write Kong Yiyue's name on the form, Kong Yiyue quickly stopped him: “Class monitor, no, I...”
“Kong Yiyue, it's you, don't refuse, it's useless to refuse.” In the end, the class monitor was too lazy to pay attention to Kong Yiyue's objection and directly took the form to his seat. Well, in this way, the participants were determined.
The next day, when the homeroom teacher announced the list in the class, everyone turned to look at her in surprise when they heard that the person who gloriously signed up for the 800-meter was Kong Yiyue.
Kong Yiyue's face was expressionless, she was really pushed up!
The homeroom teacher was very satisfied that the participants in the sports meet had been settled, and said a few words of encouragement, but Kong Yiyue was wandering in the sky. The sports meet was going to be held in two weeks, was this forcing herself to practice running?
After school, Hou Guang Lue approached Kong Yiyue, “Kong Yiyue, let's go together!”
Kong Yiyue was still packing her schoolbag: “Where to?”
Hou Guang Lue said as a matter of course: “Of course it's the playground! You have to run 800 meters, so I will be your coach from now on!”
Kong Yiyue declined his kindness, “Thank you, I don't think so.”
“Kong Yiyue, you don't need to be polite with me. Anyway, I also signed up for the 1,000-meter long-distance race, so it's no pressure to bring you along to run every day.”
Kong Yiyue didn't care about the pressure, what she cared about was actually... Fu Jinting.
She subconsciously felt that since she was going to marry Fu Jinting in the future, she should maintain a safe distance from other boys. Now their relationship was already fragile enough, and if something went wrong, she really had no strength to clean up the mess.
Especially if the object was Hou Guang Lue, Kong Yiyue felt more and more that this distance should be maintained.
“I really don't need it.” Kong Yiyue once again declined his kindness.
When she came to the playground alone, she saw that the playground was crowded, and she really didn't want to run.
Kong Yiyue didn't expect to meet Yuan Meng. The two hadn't been able to run into each other since they were divided into classes.
Yuan Meng's short hair was trimmed to her ears, which was very heroic. She asked Kong Yiyue: “How are you doing in the new class?”
“It's okay, how about you?”
Yuan Meng said: “It's just the same as before. After going to senior year, homework is keeping me incredibly busy.!”
Kong Yiyue nodded and said, “Hang in there!”
Yuan Meng asked her, “Are you here to run?”
“Yes. Want to joined me?”
Yuan Meng said: “Okay!” After saying that, she waved to a few girls not far away. Two of them were girls from the same class before. Yuan Meng chatted with them familiarly, while Kong Yiyue stood by with a polite smile.
After a couple of laps, one of the girls ran up to Kong Yiyue and said, “You are Kong Yiyue, right?”
“Yes.”
“I've heard about you. I was in Class 7 last year, now I'm in Class 5.”
“Hello.” Kong Yiyue said, feeling a little awkward. Sensing her coolness, the girl quickly changed the subject. “Didn't you try to pursue Fu Jinting? You worked so hard to get into Class 1, but I haven't heard anything about you two getting together.”
Kong Yiyue didn't want to answer this question.
The girl mistook her silence for embarrassment. She smirked and said, “So many girls like Fu Jinting. It's not surprising you couldn't win him over.”
Kong Yiyue simply smiled, picked up her pace, and left the girl in the dust.
The playground and the basketball court were not far apart. When Fu Jinting was resting during the intermission, he saw Kong Yiyue running laps around the playground, and his eyes followed her figure. Then, when he saw her suddenly glanced in his direction, he quickly averted his gaze.
