Five second countdown.
The boy lurking at the top of the stairs confirmed the time for the last time.
The midday sun was a little hot, and after squatting for a long time, my field of vision was filled with white. He shook his head to stay awake, his eyes still fixed on the first classroom up the corner.
The school bell rings in a few seconds. The dusk sunlight was diluted by the clouds and glowed with a transparent light golden color as quiet as a stream. The sky in the distance is like a canvas with an overturned paint bucket, dotted with large patches of warm colors with blurred edges, dark or light.
It was empty and quiet. Except for the chirping of cicadas. All that was left was his heartbeat, which gradually became as violent as thunder.
He thought silently in his heart.
Four, three, two, one.
"Ding——"
The resolute and resolute ringtone broke the rare silence. During the three seconds that the ringing sound lasted, the silence of the senior high school floor made waves. The young man took a deep breath and stepped up the steps against the surging crowd rushing towards the cafeteria. The door of Class E in the third year opened and closed, and finally, the figure he had been waiting for appeared at the door.
The young man's eyes lit up and he rushed forward, "Ah, senior sister - okay..." What a coincidence.
The last word was ruthlessly cut off by the clear voice coming from the door.
"Xue," the girl with a beautiful face turned back slightly in surprise and looked into the smiling eyes of the person who came up, "You forgot something."
