Crush

The large plaque of Saint Dele High School was tall and prominent. Several students were walking in and out of the door at this time. Due to the setting sun and sunset, the entire school was covered with a layer of glow. In the warm tones, the entire school seemed More peaceful.

Alina couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled. She put her hands on the window sill and let herself yell out the window, "I'm back..."

With a series of echoes, it caused several students in the distance to look this way...

Every student at Saint Deleuze is outstandingly intelligent and has good family conditions. There are probably no more than ten students like Alina from a small town in the school, and even fewer girls.

In her previous life, she was originally introverted and shy. Since she had no friends here, she became more taciturn and even more dull and silent.

Each of the students here has been tutored by specialized teachers since childhood, and their parents spent a lot of money to train them. Or they have tuition teacherand at home. They are also extremely smart and know how to draw inferences from one instance to another. Their foundations are better than Alina's, and their strength cannot be underestimated.

Although Alina is not stupid, she is just an ordinary person, not a genius. Her talent is not as good as others, so she can only make up for it in other aspects. However, her family's conditions do not allow her to have extra expenses, and she cannot afford to go to tutoring classes, she doesn't have the experience of her parents or relatives who are teachers, and she can't afford too many books and materials. In the past, she could spend more time and work harder on her own than students in small places, but here But no.

Poor clothes and strange looks from others made her introverted personality even more inferior.

Declining grades, an ordinary family, and the ardent expectations of her parents were like mountains, weighing on her young shoulders, making her breathless.

How did she get through high school? She feels suffocated when she thinks about it now. However, no matter how dark the world is, there will be a ray of sunshine and a little bit of hope for her to chase and grit her teeth to persevere and support her through extremely dark years.

Alina struggled out of her memories. It was already dark. She couldn't help but touch her face. Fortunately, there were no tears. This time, she will remember to live with a smile.

After sucking the sea water all afternoon, she was able to condense the essence again. She thought that the ocean essence condensed in the sea water should be different, but she was a little disappointed. It was still a drop of blue liquid. She held it under the lamp and looked at it, it's a little darker than the previous one.

This time she didn't swallow it directly, but dropped it into the mineral water bottle she bought. The ocean essence seemed viscous, but it melted when it entered the water. After all, it was water with the essence melted in it. It tasted much better than the mineral water she usually drank. It tasted sweet, and she couldn't help but take a few more sips.

She was the only one in the dormitory at night, so she simply took out the textbooks. She has forgotten this knowledge for a long time and needs to familiarize herself with the previous knowledge in advance.

It wasn't until her eyes were a little sore that she looked at the time, then closed the book and turned off the light, lying flat on the bed in the dark. She thought she would lose sleep and think of the past, unable to sleep, but she didn't expect that as soon as she closed her eyes, she would fall asleep. 

In the morning, she washed off a layer of black stains secreted from my body last night, and then spent the morning reading energetically in the dormitory.

​

She was sorting out her books in the afternoon when the dormitory door opened and a girl wearing short sleeves and a skirt walked in with a bag in her hand. She was a little surprised to see Alina and said, "Alina, you didn't go home?"

Alina looked back and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she knew her name. She was one of the few classmates with whom she still kept in touch after many years. So she turned sideways and smiled: "No, I'll go back next sunday, Aurora? Why are you so early today?"

"Yeah..." 

Aurora walked to her bed and put her bag on the ground casually, "My parents are on a business trip... so I come back half a day early. By the way..." 

She rummaged through the bag, "I brought some food from home, and some fruits, don't you want to eat them? Peaches, and fried fish, they are all fresh..."

"No, I've eaten in the morning..." Alina said with a smile. She knew Aurora's kindness, but she was really not hungry.

"No, these are just for everyone to eat. I can't finish them all by myself. Please help me eat some..."

The kindness was too great to refuse, so Alina had no choice but to take the peach and wash it with water. The two of them ate while talking.

"I originally wanted my mother to buy me some daily necessities and study materials, but she was not at home. Alina, do you have anything to buy? Why don't we go together later..."

"Okay" 

Because Alina had few friends in her previous life, she also knew how to cherish Aurora. Aurora has a generous personality and did not alienate her because she was from a rural area and her family was not well off. When they were in the same dormitory , she often brought her food and lent her money. Even after she got married and had children, she would often contact her by phone.

In fact, she was particularly envious of Aurora at that time. She had a good family background, a good husband who loved her, and a lovely daughter. She lived a happy life.

​

Now, she wants to get closer to her and become good friends with her, even if she gets a little bit of happiness in this life.

"Fantastic!"

When they walked out of the school gate, Aurora wanted to buy books first. Alina remembered that there was a bookstore with a full range of books on another street, so the two of them looked around at the street signs and walked. When they turned the corner, Passing by someone.

As soon as she turned her head, Alina felt a tearing and stinging pain in her scalp, and she couldn't help but let out an "Ah" sound. When she turned around, she saw that her hair was tangled in the other person's cufflinks. She hurriedly blushed and said, "Sorry. "Then she lowered her head and reached out to untie it.

The other person seemed to also be a student, carrying a schoolbag on one shoulder. His hands were entangled with her hair because they were on the strap of the bag. It turned out that his buttons were too tight or his hair was too tangled. The more nervous she becomes, the harder it is to untied.

And for some reason, Aurora next to her just stood there and didn't come to help. Alina couldn't help but panic, and even wanted to tear it off with force. 

The other party suddenly stretched out his hand and said, "Wait, let me do it..."

The voice was a little cold and distant, but it was surprisingly soft and unique, with a deep texture that touched my heart with special warmth. 

This voice... Alina's hands immediately seemed to be electrocuted. It was so familiar, as if it was imprinted in her memory. This was... She slowly raised her head and looked over, and then her whole body froze in place.

What does she think of the man she has secretly loved for more than ten years? Alina's memory is a bit vague, because in the previous life, she never dared to look at him openly. She only dared to glance at him from a distance. Even if she occasionally passed by him, she just lowered her head and didn't even dare to look at him longer. For a moment, even if the only contact in this life... it was only in a corner with extremely dark light. In that short moment, she couldn't see his face clearly, and he naturally didn't know who she was. Maybe, even if he saw her face, he won't remember it either...

Alina raised her head slightly and froze when she saw the person in front of her.

Andrés…

The man she had secretly loved for almost ten years, from high school to college to work, was right in front of her, so close, so close...

It was so close that her mind went blank and she couldn't make any reaction, she just stared blankly.

He has light short hair, a light white shirt, and a handsome face that is very cold and calm. Even though he is only seventeen years old, he is still a little childish, but he already has the prototype of a future elite CEO.

This person was once his motivation, hope, and fantasy, but she never thought of getting close to him. She never got it in her previous life, and she never had extravagant hopes in this life.

But why did it suddenly appear at this time? Why do it when she hasn't sorted out her thoughts and future?

Everything that she had planned in her heart was disrupted...

At this time, at the corner, the two people were very close to each other because of the pull of their hair. At such a close distance, they could even see each other's eyelashes clearly, and even had to exchange each other's breathing.

Alina's eyes wandered, but she couldn't bear to move away from his face. She could only read magazines before, but now she saw a real person. Even if she took one more look, it would be fine, but if she took a few more looks, the prismatic corners of her lips were tall and straight. His nose, soft cheeks, and sword-like eyebrows made her heart beat faster uncontrollably...

But he seemed to be unaware of taking the hair from her hand, and his slender fingers lightly untied it at the buttons. The gentle force only made her feel a slight itch, but there was no pain at all.

In just a few moments, he untied his hair from the button and flicked the hair from the button. He wanted to say something, but when he raised his eyes, he saw the girl in front of him looking at him with a distracted expression. When she looked at him, she lowered her head to dodge her gaze, and even subconsciously reached out to cover her face with her hair. The corners of his mouth were gently raised for a moment, as if to mock her, but in the end he turned and walked away without saying anything.

"Alina..." 

Aurora came over after regaining consciousness.
