Chapter 1039: New Year’s Day Special Chapter: The Heart Thumping Memories of Little Ya, Jiajia
In the last few days of the year, the Red Flag Junior High School, like previous years, began to plan a New Year’s party.
Early in the morning, the classmates were busy.
“Yang Ming, what program did you sign up for?” Zhou Jiajia asked as she held a notepad and stood at Yang Ming’s table.
As the class monitor, compiling the programs list at the party was her duty.
“For me, just forget about it. I am not very good at singing or dancing. Why don’t you ask Su Ya?” Yang Ming smiled and shook his head. He pointed to his table mate, Su Ya, and said, “Su Ya’s singing is excellent. I think she is better than those Hong Kong and Taiwanese stars.”
When she heard that Yang Ming praised Su Ya, Zhou Jiajia was slightly jealous in her heart. She didn’t know when it started, but she became particularly interested in Yang Ming. She didn’t know if this was considered liking a person. Anyway, Zhou Jiajia only knew that when Yang Ming talked to Su Ya, she was very uncomfortable.
In order to speak a few more words with Yang Ming, Zhou Jiajia, as the class monitor, always talked about some class things with Yang Ming, but even then, there were only a few words at most. How could it be as easy as Yang Ming and Su Ya who sat at the same table? The two people could exchange a few whispers anytime, anywhere.
“So Su Ya, what program do you want to sign up for?” Zhou Jiajia didn’t have much of a favorable impression of Su Ya. Although she also felt that Su Ya was very sweet and lovely, Zhou Jiajia thought that she was about the same as her. Why was Yang Ming so good to Su Ya?
Therefore, Zhou Jiajia’s tone toward Su Ya had also become a regular working tone toward normal students, without much of a smile.
“I…” Su Ya’s face was red. She didn’t expect Yang Ming to praise her in front of others. Her heart was a bit happy, so she said, “Then I will sing ‘ Childhood 1 ‘ by Luo Dayou.”
“Okay, Luo Dayou’s ‘Childhood.’” Zhou Jiajia nodded and recorded it in the book. “Do you need an accompaniment tape from the class?”
“No need. I have a keyboard, and I can sing while playing.” Su Ya shook her head and said.
Zhou Jiajia was slightly envious of Su Ya who could sing, dance, and play the piano. However, so what? My computer skills are ranked among hacker organizations all over the world .
Thinking back to the first year of the global outbreak of the CIH virus 2 in 1998, I discovered the virus in a short time and wrote a special anti-virus tool. I secretly placed it on the Internet for free download. Not until a long time later, did the major anti-virus software add the diagnostic property code of the virus.
It was just that Zhou Jiajia didn’t want to be famous. She was low-key and didn’t leave any of her information. However, these things couldn’t be flaunted in front of Yang Ming… Zhou Jiajia sighed slightly. If I am as multi-talented as Su Ya, how great would it be? Boys should like this kind of pretty girl, but intelligence is hard to be seen by others.
“Yang Ming, you really don’t want to perform something?” After Zhou Jiajia recorded Su Ya’s program, she asked somewhat unwillingly, “This is the first party after entering junior high school. It is best if everyone performs in the show so that everyone can become familiar with each other.”
“I am really not good at anything.” Yang Ming smiled and said, “I will just be a good audience.”
When Zhou Jiajia saw Yang Ming persisted, she had no other way. She could only take the notebook to record other people’s programs.
“Why aren’t you performing an act?” After Zhou Jiajia left, Su Ya whispered to Yang Ming, “You used to sing songs to me. It’s quite nice too.”
“I don’t think it makes any sense.” Yang Ming suddenly smiled. “Would you like to change the entry? How about we sing a love song together?”
“Stop it!” After a semester of contact, Su Ya already had a love for Yang Ming. Listening to Yang Ming at this moment, she was naturally shy.
Sui Guangqi saw Zhou Jiajia talking to Yang Ming, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. So, he came over and said to Zhou Jiajia, “Jiajia, the list of programs from both my groups have been compiled. How are you doing there?”
“I am almost done here.” Zhou Jiajia saw Su Ya and Yang Ming joking at the corner of her eyes, and her heart was very bitter. “There are just a few students who didn’t sign up.”
“Didn’t Mr. Wu say that everyone must participate in the first party? I want to see who is so bold. They didn’t even listen to Mr. Wu’s words!” Sui Guangqi had long guessed that Yang Ming did not sign up, so he said so.
“But there are always people who are not good at performing…” Zhou Jiajia naturally made an excuse for Yang Ming.
How could Sui Guangqi not understand Zhou Jiajia’s meaning? His heart was a little annoyed. He thought, If my family didn’t encounter some trouble, I would have already killed Yang Ming. He really is a thorn in my eye. Aren’t you satisfied with having a good relationship with Su Ya? You still have to flirt with other girls. Even Jiajia is attracted to you!
“Not good at it. Can’t he just simply recite a poem?” Sui Guangqi naturally wouldn’t give up easily.
However, when Sui Guangqi’s voice just fell, a less friendly voice came. “I am not good at poetry either. If you are willing to tell the teacher, then just go and tell.”
The person who spoke was Sun Haoming, Sui Guangqi’s other thorn in the eye. At first, Sui Guangqi, who was handsome and gentle, was the focus of all the girls in the class. He was also the class monitor, and he was good in his studies. Naturally, he would be favored by the girls.
However, there were exceptions to all things. This Sun Haoming was one of them. Sun Haoming’s family was wealthy, and he looked pretty sunny. Although he is not as handsome as me, he has another masculine beauty, not to mention that Sun Haoming’s academic performance is similar to mine. So, Sui Guangqi hated him very much!
The most helpless thing was that Sun Haoming’s father was an executive of a state-owned enterprise. He was very rich. He sent a lot of gifts to Wu Chiren, so Wu Chiren was also very fond of Sun Haoming. It was no use for Sui Guangqi to go to Wu Chiren and complain about Sun Haoming!
If only Yang Ming did not participate in the party, he might still be able to go and make a complaint, but now, with Sun Haoming taking the lead, it was obviously impossible to make an accusation.
No matter how stupid Wu Chiren was, it was impossible to criticize Yang Ming without disregarding Sun Haoming. It was so obvious to others that he was biased toward Sun Haoming.
Sui Guangqi was so angry that he almost blew up. Initially, he had been thinking about messing with Yang Ming, but he did not expect to be screwed up by Sun Haoming. However, Sui Guangqi had always been very concerned about his image in front of outsiders. Moreover, his family had some trouble recently. He had to be low-key outside, so he smiled and said, “I also hope that the party will be lively! But, if the classmates really can’t perform, we can’t force it!”
Sun Haoming snorted. He didn’t say anything else and walked to his seat. At this time, Sun Haoming was proud. He really looked down on people like Sui Guangqi, but he was very close to the maverick, Yang Ming.
“Yang Ming, Sui Guangqi, the guy, was ready to rat on you behind your back.” Back in the seat, Sun Haoming turned and spoke to Yang Ming.
“Really?” Yang Ming didn’t care very much. “Well, I didn’t make any mistakes, and no one had stipulated that I must participate in the party.”
“Yeah, so I also didn’t participate. Haha , I told him that if he wants to tell the teacher, just go ahead.” Sun Haoming laughed and said.
Yang Ming gratefully nodded. He knew about Sun Haoming’s family background. He also knew that Wu Chiren was very fond of Sun Haoming, so with Sun Haoming’s participation in this matter, Sui Guangqi couldn’t make trouble.
Sui Guangqi was really angry, but there was no other way. Seeing Zhou Jiajia always going over to make do of a situation with Yang Ming for no reason, he felt panic. How can I make Zhou Jiajia give up on Yang Ming, and turn to my arms?
Looking at Yang Ming chatting intimately with Su Ya, an evil idea suddenly came to his mind! Wow, haha. This time, I don’t believe that you, Yang Ming, will not be dead! Although Sui Guangqi also thought that this plan was insidious, a man had to be ruthless!
Thinking of this, Sui Guangqi sneered a little. He fixed his expression and said to Zhou Jiajia quietly, “Jiajia, you come with me. I have something to say to you.”
Zhou Jiajia thought that Sui Guangqi wanted to talk to her about the party, so she did not think much of it. She just followed Sui Guangqi to the corridor outside the classroom.
“What is it?” Seeing Sui Guangqi not talking, Zhou Jiajia asked, puzzled.
It was not that Sui Guangqi didn’t want to talk, but he was organizing his speech. He was thinking about how to say it because this was a matter that was really hard to talk about. He hesitated and said, “Jiajia, do you like Yang Ming?”
” Ah !” Zhou Jiajia was stunned on the spot and blushed. However, she repeatedly denied, “No, I… I…”
“Jiajia, you don’t have to deny it. I can see it…” Sui Guangqi waved his hand and said, “Do not worry. This is just a private conversation; I will not tell anyone.”
” Oh …” Zhou Jiajia blushed and uttered an ” oh .” She stood there, grabbing the edge of her clothes with her hand. She kept her head down and didn’t know what to say.
“Jiajia, actually, I have an idea to break up Yang Ming and Su Ya, so you can be with Yang Ming!” Sui Guangqi was like a wolf who deceived a little white rabbit. He spoke temptingly.
“Really…” Zhou Jiajia was a genius on the computer, but she was a complete idiot in terms of feelings. Therefore, Zhou Jiajia was moved by Sui Guangqi but still kept a trace of calmness. “You… why would you help me?”
“Jiajia, I think you’ve noticed that I have a good impression of you, but the person you like is Yang Ming!” said Sui Guangqi justifying. “In fact, the highest level of loving a person is to make her happy! You will only be happy if you are together with your crush, so I just want to help you to realize this dream! Although I envy Yang Ming, as long as you can be with him, I still wish you the best… ”
Sui Guangqi’s remarks were so righteous that Zhou Jiajia was very moved after listening. “Sui Guangqi, if it’s true… then I will be very grateful to you…”
“You don’t have to say those words of gratitude!” Seeing that Zhou Jiajia was moved, Sui Guangqi was excited. He whispered to Zhou Jiajia, “Actually, this method is very simple, but it is very practical!”
“What method?” Zhou Jiajia couldn’t wait to ask.
“Who is the biggest resistance between you and Yang Ming?” asked Sui Guangqi.
“…” Zhou Jiajia hesitated and said, “It’s Su Ya…”
“Yes, it’s Su Ya!” Sui Guangqi nodded and continued, “So, If you are to be with Yang Ming, you must first break him and Su Ya up so that you can be with him!”
“How do I break them up?” asked Zhou Jiajia inexplicably. “They have a good relationship, and they are table mates…”
” Aiya , why are you so stupid? We can’t break them up, but someone else can!” said Sui Guangqi.
“Someone can? Who?” asked Zhou Jiajia curiously. Who has such a great power that he could even break up Yang Ming and Su Ya?
After Sui Guangqi heard this, he revealed a mysterious smile. He whispered, “This person is… Teacher Wu!”
“Teacher Wu!” Zhou Jiajia was stunned, then she seemed to understand somewhat Sui Guangqi’s meaning. “You mean, you want me to tell Teacher Wu about Yang Ming and Su Ya?”
” Hehe , that’s right!” Sui Guangqi nodded insidiously. “In this way, when Teacher Wu comes out to interfere, can they still be together?”
“This is also true.” After Zhou Jiajia listened, she nodded with some temptation.
“So, this is the easiest but most effective way!” Sui Guangqi said, “You can go back and think about it. If you think it works, come to me. We can discuss the countermeasures carefully!”
“But can Teacher Wu really intervene?” asked Zhou Jiajia with some worries.
“Do not worry. He sure can. Don’t you still have me? I am the class monitor; you are the deputy class monitor. If we both report it to Teacher Wu, can he not pay attention to it?!” Sui Guangqi said as he patted his chest.
“Alright, let me think about it…” Zhou Jiajia really was moved because Sui Guangqi’s words were too tempting.
Sui Guangqi also knew that there would be no answer now if he pushed, so he would wait for Zhou Jiajia to think about it. However, Sui Guangqi believed that this thing that he told Zhou Jiajia was really tempting. He did not believe that Zhou Jiajia would refuse.
Zhou Jiajia returned to the classroom, but her mind began to consider Sui Guangqi’s suggestion. Indeed, as Sui Guangqi said, if Yang Ming and Su Ya were separated, she would have a chance…
When Sun Haoming went out to the toilet, he passed by Sui Guangqi and Zhou Jiajia. Although he didn’t stop to eavesdrop, he vaguely heard what Sui Guangqi said about Su Ya and Yang Ming. He guessed that this guy was up to some evil plans and was giving Zhou Jiajia a suggestion. So when he returned to the classroom, he reminded Yang Ming, “Yang Ming, you should be wary of Sui Guangqi these days. This dumb*ss is probably up to some evil plans and wants to scheme against you. You should not be tricked by him.”
” En , I got it. Thank you.” Yang Ming nodded but didn’t care. He felt that he had no weakness that could be used by others.
After Zhou Jiajia left, Sui Guangqi smiled insidiously and said, “Yang Ming, this time, I’ll see how you die, hahahaha ! Zhou Jiajia, ah, Zhou Jiajia, can’t you even think that if you go and report Yang Ming, how much will he hate you? Would he still like you? It’s literally a dream. When the time comes, you’ll have no choice but to give up. Won’t you obediently throw yourself into my arms?”
Monday, December 31, 2001.
The party at the end of the semester was held as scheduled. With Sun Haoming taking the lead, many people in the class did not sign up. The law cannot be enforced when everyone is an offender. Especially with Sun Haoming involved, Wu Chiren had no other way.
The opening of the party was a projection of a computer animation. It was beautifully made. This was Zhou Jiajia’s masterpiece, but she did not expect others to notice because students at this age were not interested in these things. They liked pop songs, modern dance and the like.
“Zhou Jiajia is very capable. These were all made by her.” Su Ya was a member of the student committee and a member of the class committee. She participated in the planning of the party, so she understood the situation.
“Hehe , but I still think you are more capable.” Yang Ming looked at the animation made by Zhou Jiajia, and he was secretly very impressed. However, when liking a person, he would feel that Su Ya was better than others.
“How am I capable?!” Su Ya shook her head with a smile.
The party started, and many of the students who felt that they sang well had given their own songs. However, when Su Ya came on stage, everyone who sang previously seemed not much better than Su Ya.
On the banyan tree by the pond
I know the sound of calling the summer
On the swing in the playground
Only that butterfly has landed on it
Teacher’s chalk on the blackboard
Still desperately writing non-stop
Waiting for class to be finished
Waiting for school to be over
The childhood of waiting for the game…
The clear sound followed a simple rhythm, and it had an impact on everyone’s heart. Everyone broke out with warm applause…
For a time, Yang Ming looked a little bit dazed. Usually, Su Ya sang to him very quietly, but this was the first time on the stage. Yang Ming seemed to have the illusion that Su Ya was a musical talent born for the stage.
There is everything in the welfare club
There is no money in that pocket.
Zhuge Silang and the Devil Party
Who is the one who grabbed the sword?
The girl in the next class
Why haven’t you passed in front of my window?
Snacks in the mouth
Comic in hand
The childhood of my first love…
This was an age that was ignorant and hazy toward love. Su Ya’s song sang everyone’s voice… Up until the end of the song, everyone’s applause was never-ending.
Even Zhou Jiajia also stared at Su Ya. This perfect girl. It is not surprising at all that she can attract Yang Ming’s attention… In contrast, other than being as beautiful as her, I’m not as multi-talented like her…
Thinking of this, Zhou Jiajia suddenly felt that she would never be able to be compared with Su Ya. If she wanted to be with Yang Ming, she might only be able to use the method that Sui Guangqi spoke of.
After school, Yang Ming and Su Ya walked down the street. Although they did not say that they liked each other, they could clearly understand each other’s wishes.
“Today, you sang really well,” said Yang Ming with amazement.
“Then, is my usual singing not good?” said Su Ya coquettishly.
” Hehe , of course, I don’t mean that… It’s just very good today.” Yang Ming quickly explained, “You see. Everyone was fascinated, and everyone said that you sang well.”
“It doesn’t matter what other people think, as long as you feel that it is good.” Su Ya smiled with delight.
“School ended early today. Why don’t we walk around before we go home?” Yang Ming hesitated and asked. This was the first time he asked Su Ya out. In the past, the relationship between the two was limited to walking to the station after school, and to accompany Su Ya to wait for the bus.
“Okay…” Su Ya hesitated and nodded.
“Where do you want to go?” asked Yang Ming.
“I don’t know. What if we just walked around…” Su Ya thought about it, but she didn’t know where to go. Neither of them had any experience dating, but both felt that it was already a very good thing that they could walk together.
“Alright, I will accompany you home,” Yang Ming suggested. Indeed, Yang Ming did not know where the two people should go.
Su Ya nodded, so the two went together in the direction of Su Ya’s house.
Behind them, not far away, Sui Guangqi said to Zhou Jiajia, “Did you see? They have entered the stage of puppy love. If you don’t make a decision, it will be too late!”
“I…” Zhou Jiajia was hesitant and could not make up her mind. After all, Sui Guangqi’s plans were very mean, which made her feel a little guilty.
“Well, since you are hesitant, then look at other girls throw themselves into Yang Ming’s arms!” said Sui Guangqi to make the situation look serious.
“Let me think about it… Let me think about it…” Zhou Jiajia felt confused in her mind. She didn’t know how to approach it, and she didn’t know if it was right to do what Sui Guangqi said…
“Alright, then go back and think about it carefully. Anyway, the holiday is starting soon. You still have the holiday time to think about it…” Sui Guangqi said with pretended kindness.
” En …” Zhou Jiajia sighed. She waved to Sui Guangqi and walked alone…
Sui Guangqi clenched his teeth, and he silently cursed Yang Ming viciously. Such an obscure guy could actually cause Zhou Jiajia to have good feelings, which really made him puzzled.
But it didn’t matter. If I keep persuading her, Zhou Jiajia will definitely do what I want. As long as she does what I want, then that is the moment when she and Yang Ming will be completely over.
As for the consequences of Zhou Jiajia’s approach, it was not something Sui Guangqi considered. The future of Yang Ming and Su Ya had no f*cking relationship with him.
Unconsciously, Yang Ming and Su Ya actually came to the beach. Although they passed Su Ya’s home, the two people were very tacit. No one mentioned this but continued to move forward.
The sea breeze in winter was biting cold. It blew and messed up Su Ya’s hair, and froze her little face until it became red. Standing in the wind, Su Ya couldn’t help but sneeze.
“It’s so cold!” Su Ya subconsciously tightened the button on her chest. Just when she wanted to take her hand away, she suddenly felt that someone had put something on her body.
Su Ya turned in surprise and found that Yang Ming took off his coat and put it on her body… and he himself wore only a sweater.
“I’m fine. You quickly put on your coat. What if you catch a cold?” Su Ya was very touched, but she couldn’t accept Yang Ming’s kindness. She wore so much, yet she was still freezing, not to mention Yang Ming who took off his coat.
“I am in good health. It’s nothing!” Yang Ming was stubbornly holding the coat on Su Ya’s body and not letting her take it off.
How would Su Ya let Yang Ming do this? So, she also tried hard to take off his coat. As a result, two people shoved each other, and Yang Ming’s hand accidentally touched Su Ya’s chest…
For a girl who was just in Grade 7, although her chest was not yet fully developed, and it was not so obvious, it also was in its fledgling stage… Su Ya did not wear a bra, and the soft elasticity made Yang Ming tremble. He just froze there…
Su Ya also did not experience this kind of situation before. Her face immediately reddened, and she looked at Yang Ming in a daze…
After a while, the two came back from the daze. Su Ya rolled her eyes at Yang Ming, complaining, “You still didn’t take it away?”
” Oh …” Yang Ming pulled his hand away very embarrassingly. He also had a red face, and he said apologetically. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it…”
“You didn’t mean it, but you still touched it for so long…” Su Ya whispered with a blush.
“This… I have never touched it before… so I was stunned…” Yang Ming explained, “You remind me, then I will not do it again…”
“I haven’t been touched yet either…” said Su Ya with a grievance.
“Then… are we considered boyfriend and girlfriend now?” Yang Ming hesitated and asked.
“I… I also don’t know…” Su Ya shook her head, but she didn’t feel much rejection and dislike when Yang Ming touched her body.
Both of them bowed their heads like two children who did something wrong, but their hearts were nervous, happy, excited, and uneasy.
“Su Ya?” Yang Ming summoned his courage and suddenly looked up at Su Ya, calling her name.
” En ? What?” Su Ya’s heart was in chaos, and it was palpitating hard. Suddenly, when she heard Yang Ming calling her name, she quickly looked up and asked.
“When we grow up, then you should be my girlfriend!” Yang Ming took a breath and tried to calm himself down.
” Ah …” Su Ya didn’t expect Yang Ming to say this, but her heart was still pleased. The two people were still hazy about love. They had not understood and experienced the true meaning of love yet.
However, they also knew that a man and woman who liked each other will become boyfriend and girlfriend, but they were still too young. The Red Flag High School was more strict in management. There was no example of puppy love around him yet, so Yang Ming said, “In the future” instead of now.
Su Ya shyly bowed her head. Does he want me to be his girlfriend? After we grow up, can I still be with him? Su Ya was a girl, after all, so she was not as bold as Yang Ming, and some things couldn’t be said.
However, seeing Yang Ming’s expectation in his eyes, Su Ya hesitated. She suddenly took Yang Ming’s hand and pulled him to a stone monument on the seaside square…
The Three Lives Stone was a folk legend of Song Jiang. As long as the names of the couple were carved on it, they will live together and never separate forever…
Su Ya picked up a stone and carved her name on it forcibly, then she turned her head and handed the stone to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming naturally understood Su Ya’s meaning. She changed to another way to agree to his request, so Yang Ming did not hesitate. He took the stone and engraved his name next to Su Ya’s…
(The Special chapter is not finished. To be continued…)
