Su Jinning laughed at him: "Alright, you can count the adjectives you've learned on your fingers, so stop showing off!"
"Hahahaha!" Laughter erupted all around me.
When receiving the award, Shen Moyu seemed to know that their class would win first place. He accepted the banner very naturally and stood in the center of the stage with Su Jinning, feeling the gaze of the entire school. He quietly savored the song "Summer Belongs to the Youth".
The enthusiastic applause from the audience continued, and many students took out their phones to take pictures and post them on the school forum.
To be honest, Shen Moyu looked at Su Jinning beside him. The stage lights shone on the two of them, and suddenly a shout rang out from below the stage: "Huai Jin Wo 'Yu'!"
He could feel the perfect match he made in that instant.
After the party, it was time to release lanterns and make wishes. The school prepared Kongming lanterns as a reward for the top three classes.
Write your wishes on them and release them into the air; it's said the gods can see them. Everyone gets one.
When Shen Moyu took the lamp into his hand, he uncapped the pen and thought for a long time about what to write.
I just wrote a few perfunctory, realistic, and common sentences: My mother is in good health, and my studies are going well.
He was about to cap his pen when a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He was craving the milk tea from the shop north of the school.
I went there a few times before and fell in love with it, but I really didn't have much time, and my house is in the opposite direction from the milk tea shop, so I haven't been there since.
He heard that the milk tea shop was moving away, and he might not be able to drink it anymore. He pursed his lips, picked up a pen, and wrote down his last wish.
I hope to have a cup of their signature drink, "Fireworks in the Midsummer," before the "Summer Cup" milk tea shop moves away.
The handwriting was a bit messy, as if it was written in a hurry and was afraid that others would see it.
"Pfft!" He laughed at his own childish idea after he finished writing it.
Anyway, it's just him writing down his own wish, and no one else can see it. He tilted his head and examined this childish and not-quite-a-wishe, took out his phone, took a picture, and then made the picture his wallpaper.
Before letting him go, he silently thought to himself: It wouldn't be impossible if it could really happen.
As he watched the Kongming lantern slowly rise, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
"Ding—" A message notification suddenly sounded on WeChat. He took out his phone and saw that it was Su Jinning who had accepted his friend request.
Shen Moyu stared at the message "I have accepted your friend request..." for a long time before finally clicking on the transfer button, intending to transfer the money to him.
But just then, the phone screen suddenly went black and it shut down.
"Damn it!" He had just cursed when he stared speechlessly at his phone, which was now switched off. Su Jinning appeared behind him: "What are you doing?"
"Nothing, my phone just suddenly turned off." Shen Moyu frowned. "I was going to transfer the red envelope to you."
"Red envelope? What red envelope?" Su Jinning had long forgotten about that matter and asked him with a puzzled look.
Shen Moyu couldn't help but think that there was something wrong with his brain: "The money for those bags of snacks you bought for me today."
"Oh." Su Jinning said dismissively, sipping her drink.
Shen Moyu looked down and happened to see the power bank in Su Jinning's hand, which was still connected to the charging cable.
"Um..." Shen Moyu asked tentatively, "Could I use your power bank?"
"cannot."
"..." Shen Moyu rolled her eyes at him and was about to leave when someone pulled her back.
He laughed and said, "You actually believed my joke."
Shen Moyu scoffed, and after charging his phone, he suddenly said, "Tsk, I'll leave the phone with you for now. I'm going to the bathroom and I'll be right back."
"Hmm? Oh." Su Jinning took another sip of her drink.
The phone was turned on shortly after Shen Moyu left, but Su Jinning ignored it and continued watching videos.
"Ding—" Another message came through on my phone.
While Shen Moyu was in the restroom, she received six or seven messages.
Su Jinning impatiently tried to turn off her phone, but accidentally unlocked Shen Moyu's screen.
"Holy crap!" he exclaimed. This guy doesn't even lock his phone? He has absolutely no respect for the dignity of a mobile phone.
He glanced at Shen Moyu's phone screen. Besides some music apps, there was also Meituan Waimai (a food delivery app) and WeChat, and then only the original apps on the phone.
Su Jinning rolled her eyes: "No youth." This person doesn't even play games, doesn't watch videos or read comics, has no youth!
He kept receiving messages on WeChat, but he wasn't interested in looking at them. However, his eyes caught sight of the Kongming lantern on Shen Moyu's wallpaper. He subconsciously licked his canine tooth.
This person is really something.
He laughed.
When Shen Moyu returned, he only saw Su Jinning with his phone on the ground and the power bank still there, but all that remained was Su Jinning's back.
He didn't take it to heart, and after watching for a while, he walked towards the class camp, sat on a bench, and put on his headphones amidst the noisy crowd.
The wall behind the sports building was torn down by vocational high school students. Even though the school did some basic repairs, it's still shorter than other walls, so it's easy to climb over.
Su Jinning leaped up, his trench coat billowing in the wind, and with a whoosh, he landed safely.
As the party drew to a close, the principal gave another long speech on stage. Shen Moyu's ears, which were plugged into his earphones, started to hurt. Perhaps it was from being there for too long, but his back also started to ache, so he got up to stretch.
Finally, after the principal finished his closing remarks, the sports meet was declared over. Shen Moyu listened to the people behind him discussing how fun the day had been, and chuckled a few times along with them.
When he arrived at the school gate, he suddenly realized that the power bank in his hand still belonged to Su Jinning. Where was he?
He turned around and tried to look, but he couldn't even see many of his own students.
"Hello!"
"Damn it!" Shen Moyu was startled and cursed under his breath.
"Power bank." Su Jinning looked like she had just finished running; her hair was blown around and was floating in the air.
Shen Moyu returned the power bank to Su Jinning as if paying off a debt.
"Give."
The next second, what ended up in Shen Moyu's hands was the 'Fireworks Summer' milk tea that he had written on the Kongming lantern.
"This..." Shen Moyu stared at him in disbelief, all the ways to prove it was a coincidence flashing through his mind: "What's going on?"
