Saying goodbye to summer

     Jin Xiaoluo watched the torrential rain outside from inside her room, tears slowly and heavily streaming down her face. Unconsciously, she recalled her story with Ning Hua…


    Ning Hua and Jin Xiaoluo were classmates; Ning Hua, a year older than Jin Xiaoluo, was the student council president. His excellent academic performance and handsome looks naturally made him the dream lover of many girls, including Jin Xiaoluo. But being timid by nature, she didn't dare express her affection for Ning Hua openly like the other girls, and could only gaze at him wistfully during his speeches…


    Ning Hua and Xiaoluo's first encounter was on a summer noon. Xiaoluo was rushing home after class when a basketball suddenly fell from the sky, hitting her and making her dizzy. When she came to her senses, she saw the sunlight above her blocked by a group of people, including Ning Hua, whose expression was anxious yet slightly apologetic. Seeing Xiao Luo wake up, Ning Hua smiled brightly. He reached out a pale hand to help her up. The sunlight made his handsome face even more radiant. Xiao Luo stared, mesmerized…


    Just like a melodramatic story from a novel, the two began dating. Their classmates jokingly called it a real-life "Prince and Cinderella" story, but Xiao Luo didn't care. She remained immersed in her sweetness, believing that as long as Ning Hua loved her deeply, she had the whole world. Ning Hua cared for Xiao Luo meticulously, allowing her, who had lost her parents at a young age, to experience the warmth of home. Every day, Ning Hua would wait early outside Xiao Luo's classroom. After class, he would take her to her workplace on his bicycle, and after she finished work, he would take her home on the same bicycle. On weekends, he would ride his bicycle with Xiao Luo through the food streets… In those days, Xiao Luo always felt that time flew by, and she would fall asleep with a sweet smile on her face after returning home.


    Gradually, however, Xiao Luo's girlish sensitivity made her uneasy. Ning Hua's text messages became increasingly perfunctory, and his phone calls became less frequent. Xiao Luo realized that this relationship was nearing its end! Desperate to salvage it, Xiao Luo decided to go find Ning Hua alone after class. But when she arrived at the student council building, she heard Ning Hua laughing with another girl—You Manjie, her classmate and the prettiest girl in the entire school. Xiao Luo suddenly felt a wave of dizziness wash over her. She didn't even know how she got back. She only remembered looking in the mirror and seeing a pale-faced girl with red, swollen eyes.


    Awakening from her reverie, Xiao Luo saw that the rain outside had stopped, only the dripping sound of water falling from the leaves. Suddenly, Xiao Luo smiled. She walked briskly into the bathroom, and when she came out, the girl with the worried expression had transformed into a vibrant young woman. Xiao Luo closed the door and walked towards Ning Hua's house. She had decided to give Ning Hua an explanation, and to give herself an explanation!


    At this moment, the early summer sun shines brightly on the puddles on the road, making them appear exceptionally dazzling, just like a young girl's smiling face...

1. My name is Ding Xiaocha, nice to meet you.

  　　“My name is Ding Xiaocha, I’m 14 years old, and I hope to make friends with everyone.” Xiaocha practiced again and again, afraid of making a mistake. “Chacha, it’s time to go to school!” Ding’s mother called out. “Oh! I know.” Xiaocha stretched out her arms and quickly put on her new school uniform. “Mom, I’m going to school!” Xiaocha rode her bicycle and waved to her mother. “Okay! Get along well with your new classmates!” “Okay!” Xiaocha rode towards the school. 　　“Dongling City No. 2 Middle School.” This should be it! Xiaocha parked her bicycle in the bike shed and walked towards the teaching building. Xiaocha was very nervous. When she arrived at the classroom door, she looked carefully. “Grade 8 (5). Yes, this is it!” Xiaocha took a deep breath and walked in with a smile. 　　“Hello everyone, I am Ding Xiaocha. Please take care of me.” She thought for a long time before deciding to introduce herself in a concise way. 　　"Welcome to Class 5, Grade 8, Ding Xiaochai! I am your ...

1. I'm new here, please give me your guidance.

  　　Today, an "uninvited guest" arrived at St. Sophia Heqin Middle School. This "uninvited guest" was simply dressed, wore glasses, but was tall, and had a "killer aura" in his eyes. [Old St. Sophia! (This is Lin Yuqin's abbreviation for the school) I'm here!] Lin Yuqin appeared calm, but was actually incredibly nervous inside. [*! This school is so big! The principal must be a rich second-generation! Uh (⊙o⊙)… Where is the principal's office?] Lin Yuqin was about to collapse! She had been wandering around for more than ten minutes and still didn't know where the principal's office was… "Excuse me, classmate, where is the principal's office?" Lin Yuqin looked around and finally chose a handsome boy to ask. "Hey, Shen Yeran, do you think this girl likes you?" the boy next to her asked. "Shut up, do you want to spread rumors about me again?" Shen Yeran said impatiently, "Turn left at the second inter...

26. Yuqin's "Happy" Day

  "Hmm, this is..." It was morning. Yuqin opened her sleepy eyes, her hair disheveled and her clothes in disarray. "Oh, good morning," Yuqin said, only then realizing that she was sleeping in the same bed with a man (whom she had just met). "You..." Yuqin covered her chest. "Uh, I wouldn't rape you, with your small frame," the man said. "Knock knock knock," came a knock on the door. "Yuqin, I'm coming in," Aunt Chen called out as she knocked. "Wait a minute!" Yuqin shouted, stopping her. With lightning speed, Yuqin brushed her teeth, washed her face, and got dressed. "I'm coming in," Aunt Chen said. "Okay," Aunt Chen looked at the two of them, then at the bed. "You two are sleeping together," Aunt Chen said with a sly smile. "There's no bed left, and I'm too lazy to make it, but who knew this girl would have such a bad sleeping posture," the boy complained. ...
