(Extra 1) The Wind Knows What I MeanIt was another rainy day on the third anniversary of Belladonna's death.A man holding a black umbrella stood still and alone for a long time in front of her tomb.The umbrella was slightly tilted, revealing half of a pale and skinny face. There were messy tears on the sharp jawline and they looked like a mismatch.In the past three years, he was very tired of the baseless rumors around him and Queenie's nonstop pestering.However, what was more devastating was his hatred toward himself.After knowing Belladonna for seven years, the only impression that she had left for him was always her innocent face.There were never any negative emotions. Even if he asked Belladonna to give up her new job and focus on taking care of herself after the unexpected pregnancy, she was only silent for a moment and never refuted him.She was innocent, kind, and cautious. As he did not have to spend too much energy on her, she was barely regarded as a qualified
Author:Zhi Zhi Wei Zhi Zhi I lost my memory after a car accident, and then three men appeared who claimed to be my boyfriends.I looked at the reserved brainiac who was organizing my notes, the rebellious campus star who was peeling an apple for me, and the pure-hearted pretty boy who was giving me a massage.I was deep in thought.Couldn't I just live with the three of them?1As I was riding my e-bike to pick up my delivery off campus, a kid rushed by. As a result, I swerved sharply and hit a guardrail.Unfortunately, my brain was damaged. I lost my memory of the past month.Fortunately, I gained three boyfriends at once although I had been single since birth.Well, that was not true. These three men all claimed to be my boyfriend.One was Daniel Taylor, the president of the Students' Union, one was Jason Franco, a wild campus star, and the other was Horace Mills, a devoted pretty boy.They took care of me all these days when I was in the hospital.Today was the
4In a burst of noise, the three of them walked up to me.The classroom suddenly quieted down.Curiosity, envy, jealousy... All sorts of gazes rushed to me.Horace said briskly, "Amanda, I'm coming to attend class with you!"Jason said softly, "It's my first time accompanying my girlfriend in her class. Just tell me if you have any advice."Horace retorted, "I'm Amanda's boyfriend!"Daniel just looked at me and said quietly, "You forgot to take the notes I organized for you last night."I heard many people gasping.From the corner of my eye, I saw the pale faces and unbelievable looks of Portia and Jenifer.Jason asked Joyce with a smile, "Can I switch seats with you?"Joyce looked between Jason and me.In a trance, she nodded and left her seat stiffly.So this was how it went.Daniel sat on my left, Jason sat on my right, and Horace sat behind me, poking me with his hand from time to time. More and more students came to see them, almost filling the classroom.The teac
7Daniel was my real boyfriend.That night on Valentine's Day, I did give Jason a hand-copied copy of Shakespeare's sonnets, accompanied Horace to take the Ferris wheel, and finally went to the supermarket with Daniel.All these were reasonable.I had a crush on Daniel since I was in grade 10.At that time, I just transferred from another city. I hadn't yet adapted to the learning environment here, so I failed the first month's exam.As a result, my teacher asked Daniel, my desk-mate, to tutor me in my studies. He and I would do homework in the classroom for a half hour after school.I recalled the calm, cool look in Daniel's eyes, his gentle voice as he carefully explained the math problems, the coffee he handed me when I was sleepy, and the considerate way he stopped to wait for me in the dim corridor.There were countless moments when I fell in love with him.When I was about to tell him about it, Daniel became my brother in name.I plucked up my courage and wrote a love l
9A few days ago, Daniel lost his key. In case he opened the door and came in tonight, I took the spare key he kept under the doormat.I took several bottles of beer from the fridge and drank them one by one.I had no idea how much I had drunk. My head was dizzy and I was completely drunk. In a daze, I seemed to hear the sound of the door lock rattling.Then it became quiet again.But soon, the sound of water boiling and the clink of cups came from the kitchen.After a while, I heard the steady footsteps of a man slowly approaching me.The light in front of me dimmed, and something icy covered my forehead. Then I heard Daniel say in a low voice, "You have stomach illness. You shouldn't have drunk so much."He lifted my chin gently and whispered in a comforting voice, "Honey, get up and drink some honey water."I closed my eyes and dodged his hand unconsciously."Listen to me," Daniel said patiently.His words were like a pebble thrown into an even lake, which sobered me up
Author:Yao Ling Er 1Ever wondered how one could get along with a boy one had been having a crush on for three years?Well, I was pretty crushed.Jared Coulson's name was remembered by the whole of Grade 10 on the first day of school.He was admitted to Primrose High School with the top score in the city.He was chosen as the freshman representative to give a speech during the orientation. His handsome look, eloquence, and remarkable temperament had got him a lot of admirers.It was as though he was the heavens' favorite creation.Therefore, from the first day of Grade 10, Jared was dubbed as the campus hunk in our school. It was an indisputable statement that no one had any objection.There was no distinction between arts and science classes in Grade 10 in our school. My classroom was on the second floor, and his classroom was on the first floor. There wasn't a chance for us to interact with each other.Every time I went downstairs and passed by his classroom, I woul
2He replied to me expressionlessly, "You're welcome. Just don't be a burden to the group."I gathered myself.But I was still curious about why he chose me. I wondered if it was because I was a good friend of Mellissa.At night, I went home and pondered about the turn of events for a while but was still a little baffled.I took out my phone and sent him a message on WhatsApp: [Why did you choose me as a group member?]After I finished my homework and almost dozed off, he replied: [You really don't know why I chose you?]I answered honestly: [I don't.]After a while, he replied: [I was the one who asked the vice principal to let you stay. I can't watch you keep coming last in class. Your deskmate ranks 11th, while my deskmate ranks 12th. I have chosen two top students to average your scores. If you don't study hard, you will drag the three of us down.]After reading his message, which felt like a lecture, I felt like an incompetent student.Following that, he started training
3The test finished in two days. It was the first time in two years that I didn't feel that nervous about the exam.After that, I resumed my life with the previous study routine.A few days later, my grades came out. I couldn't calm down for a long time after I got my result.Jared turned around and smiled at me, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "I told you that you can do it. You ought to listen to a straight-A student like me."I smiled, too. It was my best grade ever. I was ranked fifth.I was in the top ten in the next few mock tests.It seemed that after the walk with Jared on the field that day, I hadn't been that stressed about studying anymore.Then came the college entrance exams.Finally, we graduated from high school.Our class organized a dinner party. All the teachers were drunk.I was a little tipsy, too. I came out and sat in a chair outside the door to get some fresh air.After a while, Jared also came out and sat next to me.I smiled and said, "At last
