Birds flew across the surface of the lake from one side, and landed lightly on the other side of the lake in the ripples.
Ye Chien sat on a stone bench and looked at the picturesque scenery. He raised his head and covered his face with a book to block the sunlight that shone through the willow branches. Feeling the cool breeze by Swan Lake, he felt peaceful and had no other thoughts.
"Ye Chien?"
The peace was broken. Ye Chien didn't respond. He closed his eyes and refused to be disturbed.
Provincial First High School used to be Gao Yiyang's school. He came back just to accompany Ye Ying.
The two of them whispered as they walked along the embankment. They saw someone sitting comfortably under the green willows. The slender figure was like a scene in a painting.
Ye Ying secretly bit her lip and didn't say anything. She just waited to see how Gao Yiyang would respond.
"We're going to the cafeteria now. Let's go together?" Perhaps he was used to Ye Chien's indifference. Gao Yiyang's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness. He said lightly, "The cafeteria is a bit far. Let's go together."
It would be rude if she didn't answer. Although, she didn't mind being rude in front of him.
She took away the heavy English original book that blocked the sunlight and opened her eyes. There was a faint alienation in her dark eyes. "Oh, I know how to get there." She patted the hard cover book. "You guys go first. I still have to read for a while."
"Read for a while?" Ye Ying's gaze fell on the thick English classic. She seemed to have heard a joke. She laughed and said, "I really want to know. Can you understand it?"
Gao Yiyang glanced at it. A Fairy to Arms was translated into Chinese as A Farewell to Arms. It was the early masterpiece of the famous American writer Ernest Hemingway. It was regarded as a classic in modern literature.
This book was based on Hemingway's own experiences in the war. It was a sad and moving elegy with war and love as the main theme.
"Provincial First High School's library has a lot of high-quality books. Your A Fairy to Arms is the original. Reading more can improve your English." Gao Yiyang, who was fluent in American English, did not doubt that Ye Chien could understand it. He had seen it in the previous English exam.
Ye Ying had originally intended to embarrass Ye Chien, but in the end, she received his pertinent advice. Feeling uncomfortable, she smiled and said, "That's good. If there's anything you don't understand, can't you ask Gao Yiyang?"
"Ye Chien, we're from the same school. Let's go to the cafeteria for a meal and talk about tomorrow's exams. Is it that difficult?"
"It's not difficult. I just don't want to be with you guys." Their relationship was already like this. Did he expect her to have anything good to say? Ye Chien smiled as he looked at Ye Ying, whose words were full of sarcasm. He said slowly, "Moreover, we both know that we have nothing to talk about. Why do we have to put on an act?"
"Sorry, I'm a more honest person. If there's something I don't like or hate … I'll say it directly. I'm not like Ye Ying, who likes to destroy peace." The only thing missing was the word "hypocrite" pasted on Ye Ying's forehead.
Moreover, the two people she hated were together, and they were even going to the cafeteria to eat together. Sigh, she would vomit while eating.
"Ye Chien!" Hearing that she was mocking her hypocrisy, Ye Ying was embarrassed and angry. She looked at the boy beside her in panic.
When she saw that Gao Yiyang's expression was just as ugly, she suppressed her panic and smiled. "Then we can't be friends anymore. Ye Chien, remember, you're the one who rejected our friendship. Next time, you'd better explain clearly to others!"
Whenever she thought about what Principal Chen said last time, she felt suffocated!
