4 First Awakening Of Love

First love, is, a flower bursting into bloom instantly, not a step earlier, not a step later, he is exactly there FIrst love, is, the most pure and white flower on earth, it only opens once in a lifetirant when in bloom, bitter ithered, never with a result

When the new se plan and I was on the saenius, Chen Jin

As our bodies developed, our feelings towards the opposite gender also quietly changed All of a sudden, there were soirls in the class

Only after going to university and conversing with h ere fros of love in prily similar Basically, in a class, all the boys would like the two or three girls ere pretty, could sing and dance and were liked by the teacher while the girls in the class would all like the two or three boys ere outstanding in their studies and well liked by the teacher In prily consistent

In our class, the boys could choose between two or three girls to like while the girls pretty much all liked Chen Jin It couldn’t be helped, that person’s liround, his father was a high official in the Department of Education and his mother was the vice director of our city’s television station; he was smart, the teacher would say the first sentence in the front and he would continue the next; he was talented, he could play the violin and every year at the arts festival, his violin playing would definitely get our class an award Unfortunately, his personality was very cocky Teacher Zhang pretty much wants to treat him as her son but he was very cold towards her As other primary students all worshi+ped the teacher, this was too rare

At the tih I had read a bunch of different books, even finishi+ng Dreaely, I still didn’t really understand the relationshi+p between irl find an excuse to co to budge, I didn’t find it odd at all, I only thought that the girls in our class were all pretty hardworking

Chen Jin was very clever and he had also irls’ little tricks but though he enjoyed all the girls’ admiration, inside, he was iirl for a long tiht up until bell rang when she had no choice but to leave

He waited until I ca “don’t randoing for you to sit next toat how you copy my homework everyday, next time you have to help me block them off”

I spent a s over his words before it finally dawned on me No wonder! I had found it odd, how come I was able to occupy this prime spot? I see! He was the first in the class and he was also the class president, He was an excellent student and class leader, if he didn’t help the students with their questions, then it definitely wouldn’t keep up with his glorious ie But if he answered the questions, it wouldn’t suit his selfish heart

Our school’s tradition was always seating a girl and a guy together I was a girl so it rades were the worst so I was someone who didn’t study at all, so I definitely wouldn’t ask hie, thus being the best table partner was found

Getting to see the true colors’ of this student as seen as excellent in the eyes of teachers, parents and students, I didn’t feel he was any better or worse than before He was only a person called Chen Jin, a child genius as very good at studying, someone as outside my world The me at the time would never even have dreamed that not only was heHua

[One of the best universities in China]

That day, it was completely the sa was running on track The only difference was that I had woke up late and I had gotmy ‘aunt’ visitaround and was ready for school, I was already late

[大姨妈 (da yiperiod in Chinese so my ‘aunt’ has come means that her period has arrived]

Outside, the already gloomy sky turned even more dark, filled with layers of thick black clouds which see to drop down The sun was coh it was daytiood to begin with but seeing this kind of weather and thinking of how if I turned up late my class will lose points which will affect our chances of the red flag, my mood sunk lower

Because it wasn’t going to school or work time and my path to school wasn’t a main road, the whole street was completely empty, there were onlytrees on the side of the roads, waving wildly in the wind I carried ainst the wind

Without warning, not even a flash of lightning or thunder, it began to hail However, I was already late and I didn’t dare to waste ti the hail, I ran

The wind grew stronger and stronger but I was small and weak so it felt like with every step I took forward, I was blown back half a step I walked for a long tih I was still at the sa anxious when suddenly, a person rushed tomy hand, pulled me forward into a run

I got a bit shocked until I saw that it was Zhang Jun I wanted to talk but when I opened my mouth, the hail was immediately blown in by the cold wind The words didn’t come out but I instead ate a mouthful of ice As he ran, he chuckled with his mouth closed, obviously this was the reason he did not speak

He was taller than er than hten and the wind seeuidedwind, I wasn’t sure why but htened up and every step I took seey, even the hail that fell onto er hurt one bit

When we got to the school gates, he auto, signalling that I should go to class first

The teacher’sattention will be focused o first, he is wanting to bear all the punishment by hi andmy head, I sprinted towards the classroom Luckily, due to the hail, the students on duty all went back to their classes so eren’t caught by the school for being late, only ourself study teacher

As our Chinese teacher was scoldingJun lazily called out “here” from the class door As expected, the teacher quickly said a feords toJun

I hurriedly openedHearing him explain to the teacher why he was late, my head lowered even more until my nose was nearly inside the book My heart was so flustered that it seemed like it would burst out but yet it was also so sweet that it see drunk on chocolate with alcohol filling from when I was little, one moment I felt so happy that I wanted to fly, the next, I felt so bad that I wanted to die

Chen Jin asked “what’s wrong?”

I silently shook my head

Chen Jin disdainfully snorted “your book is upside down”

Super embarrassed, I rushed to turnit around, Chen Jin was trying to suppress his laughter Looking closely, I realized that it was actually upside down this tiain Chen Jin was on the side laughing, “you’re like this yet you still try to lie, after a feords you’re already exposing the truth”

I lowereda word,

The hail suddenly stopped without a sign, just like how it started, as ifthe hail was only for the sake of getting us to hold hands The sky was still cloudy but the wind got smaller and it started to rain

———

In the afternoon, when it was nearly ti, htly wet so I secretly put ht stain of blood on ers I was nervous and eirls in the class who developed early started theirs [o, those who developed late still didn’t know females had periods every irls

Thinking about it now, growing up in our generation was often accompanied by embarrassment Communications weren’t very developed so there was limited access to information Parents were too shy to communicate directly with children on the aspects of puberty and the teachers talked irls didn’t have a very pleasant experience when their first period came Panic, embarrassht that they had a serious illness and were going to die
