Chapter 4 Bai Ran is very proactive

My senior year in high school was intense, and the morning classes passed quickly.

Yun Zhi is an art student. She usually attends classes in the morning and goes to the studio in the afternoon. In the studio, there are sometimes teachers giving lessons and sometimes free practice.

Yun Zhi always eats in the school cafeteria at noon.

In the month since she transferred here, she has been going to the cafeteria alone. In other words, this month, she has been alone in school.

After school was over at noon that day, Bai Ran at the front desk suddenly stopped her and called her: "Yun Zhi, do you want to go to the cafeteria together?"

Yun Zhi, who was packing her schoolbag, looked up at her when she heard the sound, and Bai Ran grinned at her.

Bai Ran is a lively girl and is very popular in the class. Her deskmate and the girls who usually walk with her have left first, and Bai Ran is alone now.

As if he was afraid of Yun Zhi's rejection, Bai Ran added, "Just go together? We're going to the cafeteria anyway. You pack your things first, and I'll wait for you at the door!"

Yun Zhi actually didn't intend to refuse. As Bai Ran said, it didn't make much difference to her whether they were going to the cafeteria anyway, alone or with two people.

By the time Yun Zhi packed up her drawing board and schoolbag and walked out of the classroom, there were only a few people left in the classroom.

"Yun Zhi!" As soon as she left the classroom, Bai Ran, who was standing in the corridor, waved to her.

Yun Zhi walked over.

The two of them went downstairs towards the cafeteria.

There are two canteens in Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School, and they usually go to the one that is closer.

It's easy to meet acquaintances if you all go in the direction of the cafeteria.

Yun Zhi's classmate Yan Chen was walking not far in front of them with a few boys in the class who liked to play basketball, and class monitor Huo Qingwu was also there.

Bai Ran stared at the drawing board Yun Zhi was carrying and asked: "Yun Zhi, why do you carry the drawing board every day? You should be able to put things there in the studio, right? It's too troublesome for you to carry it back and forth, why don't you just put it there

In the studio?"

Yun Zhi replied: "You can let it go, but I haven't let it go."

But she didn't explain why she didn't put the drawing board in the studio.

She is not someone who lacks a drawing board, but she only brought one when she came to Ningcheng with her mother, and she did not buy a new one after arriving in Ningcheng. So, she really only has one drawing board in her hand now.

She wanted to use it at school, and after returning home she would occasionally draw some pictures, so she kept it with her.

Seeing that she wasn't going to say anything more, Bai Ran wisely didn't ask any more questions, and just said: "You have so many things, do you want me to help you share some of it?"

There are classes in the afternoon, and Bai Ran doesn't have to carry her schoolbag when going to the cafeteria like Yun Zhi. She feels very cool now with nothing in her hands.

"No need." Yun Zhi said, "It's not heavy."

"Okay." Bai Ran didn't insist.

Looking at the boys walking in front, Bai Ran sighed slightly: "Obviously everyone said that Huo Qingwu and Yan Chen are not easy to deal with, but to be honest, I have been in the same class with them for a year and a half, and I didn't notice them at all.

Why don't they deal with it? Could it be that their inability to deal with it is reflected in their studies? If that's the case, it makes sense. After all, the two of them have been competing for the top spot in the grade."

Speaking of this, she smiled and explained to Yun Zhi: "I transferred here in the second semester of high school."

Yun Zhi was not very interested in these topics and only replied with a faint "hmm" to Bai Ran.

That is to say, the lively Bai Ran. If she were someone else, she probably wouldn't be able to chat with Yun Zhi. It's no wonder that Yun Zhi has not had much conversation with her in the month since she transferred to another school.

"By the way, Yun Zhi, how do you feel about your new deskmate? Are you easy to get along with? Let me tell you, Yan Chen and the monitor are very popular in the school. You and Yan Chen will definitely make people jealous if you are your deskmate now.

.You should pay more attention at school. If someone troubles you, just tell the teacher and stop being bullied."

Yun Zhi looked at Bai Ran and met Bai Ran's smiling eyes.

After a pause, she said: "Thanks for reminding me, I will pay attention."

In Bai Ran's opinion, Yun Zhi's answer was a perfunctory one, and in fact he didn't take her reminder to heart at all.

So Bai Ran said again: "If you are in trouble and you don't dare to go to the teacher, you can just come to me. I have learned a few moves and I am very good at fighting!"

Yun Zhi stopped and asked her: "Why?"

"Ah?" Bai Ran was confused, but he quickly realized what she meant, and said with a smile: "You want to ask, why should I help you when I don't know you very well?"

"Isn't this so strange? Sometimes people are just friends with each other. I think you are compatible with me and I am happy to be your friend. It's that simple!"

Suddenly thinking of something, Bai Ran asked: "No, Yun Zhi, don't you have any good friends? I mean before you transferred here."

"No."

Although her grandmother often advised her to make more friends when she was still alive, she felt it was not necessary.

Couples who are in free love and marriage can separate as soon as they want. After separation, no matter whether the other party is dead or alive, it has nothing to do with them, let alone other relationships.

She can live well alone, and there is no need to waste her thoughts and energy on a relationship that will break up at any time.

Bai Ran opened his mouth, but couldn't say a word for a long time.

Although she had expected it, she still couldn't help but be surprised when Yun Zhi said "no" so decisively.

When a person reaches the age of eighteen, no matter how introverted he is, it is impossible for him to not have a single friend. Without friends, there are always one or two classmates with whom he can talk. Look at Huo Qingwu, he is a cold and cold man, it is difficult to

Not close, but there are a few boys in school with whom he has a good relationship.

Moreover, Yun Zhi doesn’t look like an introvert to her!

Compared to introversion, the word "solitary" seems to be more suitable for Yun Zhi.

Solitary...

Thinking about it this way, does it seem possible to understand that Yun Zhi has no friends?

"It doesn't matter if you didn't have it before, you will have it in the future!"

Seeing Yun Zhi looking towards her, Bai Ran patted himself, his eyes narrowed into slits with a smile: "It's me! I like making friends the most!"

As if he was afraid that Yun Zhi would say no, Bai Ran quickly changed the subject: "Yun Zhi, I asked you how you think your new deskmate is getting along with, but you haven't answered me yet."

How about it?

He is a very sunny and handsome person. He doesn't talk much. He spends most of his morning listening to lectures and answering questions. Occasionally, students will ask questions during class, and he will explain them carefully.

He is a very patient person.

As for whether he is easy to get along with, she doesn't have much communication with him, but judging from how he gets along with other people, he should be a person who is easy to get along with.

But Yun Zhi didn't answer Bai Ran like that.

She said: "You sit at the front table. You have been classmates longer than me."

The implication is that Bai Ran can see Yan Chen when she looks back. She has been classmates with Yan Chen longer than she does. Bai Ran should know better than her how to get along with Yan Chen.

Bai Ran understood what she meant, scratched his head and smiled: "I feel ashamed to say it. Although I have been classmates with Yan Chen for a year and a half, and even sat at his desk this semester, I actually didn't talk to him.

Just a few words."

"Yes, Yan Chen gets along well with other people, but I...how should I say, I'm a little afraid of him. The reason is very complicated and I can't explain it at the moment, so I won't say it for now. In fact, I

Not only am I a little afraid of Yan Chen, but I am also a little afraid of Huo Qingwu, probably for the same reason as I am afraid of Yan Chen."

Others would have asked what the reason was, but Yun Zhi was not interested at all.

Bai Ran was glad that she didn't ask, but at the same time he was a little regretful.

It felt like it was harder to become friends with Yun Zhi than she expected.

The two of them went to the cafeteria, prepared their meals and found a seat to sit down.

As soon as they sat down, someone came towards them.

"Is there anyone sitting here?"

He was a boy who was a little tall and strong. Yun Zhi had a bit of an impression of this guy. He was leading the team during recess, and he seemed to be the sports committee member of the class.

I don’t know what Yun Zhi is called.

The two tables side by side in the cafeteria can seat eight people, but at the moment only Yun Zhi and Bai Ran are seated.

There are five boys behind the sports committee member, who can just fit in.

Huo Qingwu and Yan Chen are among these five boys.

Of course, the sports committee member didn't ask Yun Zhi this question. Neither he nor Yun Zhi said a word.

He was asking Bai Ran.

Not only was there an empty seat here in the cafeteria, but he was pushed to this side by the boys he was traveling with.

Yun Zhi has never made friends, and naturally she has never liked anyone, but she doesn't understand everything, she even knows how to read people better than many people.

The sports committee member obviously came here for Bai Ran.

"No, sit down." Bai Ran said with a smile.

Yun Zhi and Bai Ran were sitting next to each other, while Bai Ran was sitting next to him.

In other words, the other side and the opposite side of Yunzhi are empty.

People took their seats one after another.

The person next to Yun Zhi just sat down and said, "Garlic is added to the stir-fried vegetables."

Yun Zhi, who was about to eat after taking a bite of stir-fried vegetables, paused and raised her head to look over. The person sitting next to her was Huo Qingwu.
