7 You are my scenery
The first time I heard the name Jia Xu was when I was at a gathering with my girlfriends. Guo Jia casually said while carefully applying new nail polish, "Are you still concerned about studying?" The girlfriends burst into laughter and said it's not because of that, but because she is really beautiful. They were betting on whether she is Jia Jia's type.
Guo Jia raised her hand and slowly examined the pink-purple nail polish in the light, saying, "Really? Which school did you say she's from?"
Someone replied, "She's from the No. 1 Middle School, right next to our school. Does Jia Jia want to go visit her?"
Guo Jia raised her eyebrows lightly, smiled boldly, stood up, leaned over the table, and asked with a smile, "Are you jealous?"
The girl who was approached exaggeratedly covered her chest and exclaimed, "I was born a Stephen Chow person, and I'll die a Stephen Chow ghost. Who's like you!"
Guo Jia picked up the bag from the seat and slung it over his shoulder, saying, "Let's go, I still have things to do today."
A girl asked, "Are you coming after the exam?" Guo Jia pushed open the door with a bell and said, "It depends on the situation." With a crisp sound, the laughter of Girls was cut off behind her. Guo Jia rode her bike to school. The head teacher stood at the door looking at his watch. When he saw Guo Jia just past the corner, he shouted loudly, "Guo Jia! No riding in the school!" But Guo Jia seemed not to hear and went straight into the school, even teasing the bald head teacher by ringing the bell twice as she passed.
The bell has been modified by Guo Jia, it has a crisp sound, never encountered a heavy bell sound, so every time I hear the bell, I know that the headache-inducing Guo Jia is coming.
Guo Jia passed through the small bamboo forest, stepped into the examination room to the sound of the exam bell, and then spent the whole afternoon submerged in the test papers.
As soon as the bell rang, Guo Jia almost rushed out, but was blocked by the head teacher, class teacher, and various other teachers.
Guo Jia took two steps back, wanting to escape through the other corridor, but the invigilator happened to come out and blocked the exit. Alright, alright, I'll go with you, Guo Jia raised his hands in surrender and was driven to the office by the teachers like a flock of sheep.
Before the head teacher could speak, Guo Jia preemptively said, "Let's get straight to the point, criticizing me over and over again is always the same!"
The director coughed uneasily and said, "There's a very outstanding female student from the neighboring First Middle School. Guo Jia, take a look at her exam paper." Guo Jia took the paper and quickly flipped through it. The handwriting was very neat, the problem-solving process was clear, and the steps were detailed, like a precise exam machine, but also very boring.
When the name fell on the binding line, Guo Jia raised an eyebrow, Jia Xu. This was the second time she had heard this name today, so Jia Xu pieced together a new impression in Guo Jia's mind, perhaps a pretty but uninteresting wooden stake.
Guo Jia's drooping eyes seemed to droop a little more, sinking into the sofa and staring at the name on the scroll.
The head of the department thought that Guo Jia finally had a sense of crisis, so he passionately delivered some inspirational words, hoping that Guo Jia would come to class on time every day and set an example by being the top student, leading everyone to do better and better.
Guo Jia slowly yawned and said, "I'm so hungry, I'll leave if there's nothing else." Then, like the grave digger zombie in Plants vs. Zombies, he slowly got up and left.
Wearing the most popular fishtail skirt of the moment, the physics teacher gently pushed Guo Jia back onto the sofa, smiling and holding Guo Jia's hand, saying, "Hey Jia Jia, there's a math competition next month. Can you represent the school and participate?"
Guo Jia pulled her hand away, causing the other person to grip it even tighter. She blinked and asked Teacher Xiao Zhang, "Do I have the right to refuse?"
Teacher Xiao Zhang still smiled and said, "No, you don't."
Guo Jia lightly said, "Then send it to me in a text, I really need to go eat!"
It had started raining outside at some point, and large patches of fiery clouds appeared. Guo Jia took a photo with her phone, happily pushing her little cart and riding through one small puddle after another. She didn't mind at all when her pink skirt hem got splattered with mud.
When Guo Jia pushed open the door of the milk tea shop, he heard a gentle "welcome" that was different from before, which made Guo Jia look around in confusion. Just one glance made Guo Jia certain that the person in front of him was Jia Xu.
So the old impression was overturned again. A piece of beautiful wood was stacked higher and higher, and an interesting piece of wood was also added.
If it's not Store manager sister... then Guo Jia would have to stare at the names of the milk teas on the colorful cardboard for a very long time. Guo Jia thought, I've always said that the design of this cardboard is ugly and hard to find, why hasn't it been replaced yet!
The silence lasted too long, and just as Jia Xu was about to speak and ask what they wanted to drink, Store manager sister pushed the door open and entered. "Is it Jia Jia? Are you still the same?" Guo Jia seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and said, "Yes, yes, sit at the bar." Guo Jia sat at the bar and poked at the non-falling doll on the table, complaining, "I told you to change the sign a long time ago! I can't find what I want to drink!"
Store manager sister shook the cup of milk tea and said, "Of course, yours is a special order, and other customers really like this brand. We're not changing it!"
Guo Jia propped up his face and said to the store manager sister, "When did you hire such a beautiful girl? Why didn't you tell me!"
The store manager sister poked Guo Jia's forehead and said, "When don't you come?" Guo Jia bit the straw and laughed foolishly, flipping through the magazines in the store.
Jia Xu looked at the "Guo Jia's Exclusive Special Recipe" handed to him by the store manager and thought, "So sweet. Three pumps of syrup, 72ml of creamer, and two scoops of red beans. Won't it be too sweet to drink like this?"
Jia Xu was very puzzled, but still wrote down the contents of the note. Because the Store manager sister said that Guo Jia comes every day, and occasionally may need Wenhe sister to make her milk tea.
Jia Xu looked across the front desk at Guo Jia sitting at the bar flipping through a magazine. Guo Jia had long, smooth hair that seemed dyed, appearing a dark green color under the lights, like a forest. Her eyes also shone with a colorful green, like the leaves of a camphor tree sunbathed in the summer.
Jia Xu belatedly discovered that Guo Jia seemed to have a pleasant scent, with hints of spices, herbal fragrances, and the latest perfume. She had smelled it on several classmates in the same class.
Guo Jia sat in the store until it closed, seemingly not changing the magazine in her hands, flipping through the same one repeatedly. She was a very peculiar girl.
Jia Xu finished packing up and said goodbye to Store manager sister. As she pushed open the door, she saw Guo Jia standing under the streetlight, leaning against her bicycle and ringing the bell twice at Jia Xu. Guo Jia's bell sounded so clear and unique, Jia Xu had never heard the same one before.
So she wondered, what was she doing? Was she waiting for me? But they had only known each other for a few hours, or maybe it didn't count as knowing each other because they hadn't formally exchanged names.
Guo Jia approached and gently smelled Jia Xu's hair, saying, "Your shampoo smells so good, I really like it. Can you tell me what brand it is and where you bought it?"
Jia Xu didn't react for a moment, and then after a while, he realized that he hadn't paid attention to what brand of shampoo he used. Feeling a bit embarrassed, he said, "I don't remember..."
Guo Jia seemed triumphant and said, "Can you give me your contact information so you can tell me later at home?" Her tone was so obvious, not hiding anything at all. Jia Xu hesitated but still took Guo Jia's phone and entered his own number.
The pink phone was covered in many stickers, hanging with a pink and white bead string and a brown, mismatched teddy bear with red and white spots on its bowtie.
Guo Jia shook her phone after losing the game, and with a smile in her eyes, she said, "I'll contact you after I get home, Jia Xu." Jia Xu nodded and watched Guo Jia disappear at the end of the street, only to realize belatedly that they hadn't exchanged names.
