Mint-Flavored Secret Love

Time blown by the wind In September, the heat has not completely dissipated, and the blazing sunshine pours unreservedly on the campus of Qinghe High School. On both sides of the campus paths, camphor trees are lush and lush, their branches and leaves swaying gently in the breeze, casting mottled shadows. In the classroom, the fan rotated slowly and made a "creeping" sound, but it still could not dispel the sultry heat that filled the air. The students gathered in small groups and enthusiastically shared their wonderful experiences during the summer vacation. The sounds of laughter and conversation intertwined with each other, making the whole classroom full of youthful vitality. The head teacher, Teacher Li, walked into the classroom with brisk steps. She was dressed in a simple dress, with short shoulder-length hair and a neat look. She always had an amiable smile on her face. She clapped her hands gently and raised her voice and said, "Students, please be quiet. Today our class welcomes a new classmate, and everyone welcomes her with applause." The originally noisy classroom fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes turned to the door of the classroom. Su Ran was slightly nervous. He took a deep breath, straightened his back, and walked into the classroom with steady steps. He was wearing a clean white shirt paired with dark blue jeans. He had a tall and straight figure, deep features, and a sense of calmness and confidence in his eyes. The sunlight shining on his body seemed to have plated him with a layer of gold. "Hello everyone, my name is Su Ran. I am very happy to be a member of this big family. I hope I can get along with you all in the future." His voice was low and magnetic, echoing in the classroom. Jiang Xingchen sat in the corner of the classroom, and the pen in his hand stopped unconsciously. She looked at Su Ran quietly, with a hint of curiosity in her eyes. Jiang Xingchen has a slender figure and gentle eyebrows. He always wears simple school uniforms and a high ponytail, making him look fresh and natural. She and Shen Yi are recognized as the most compatible couple in the class. The two often discuss learning problems together and travel to every corner of the campus side by side. Whether it is the sunny playground or the quiet library, the footprints of their youth remain. They participated in the school's knowledge competition together and argued over a math problem until they were red-faced. In club activities, they always cooperated perfectly and completed wonderful projects together. This young and beautiful relationship has always been the warmest support in Jiang Xingchen's heart. Teacher Li glanced around the classroom, and finally landed on the empty seat next to Shen Yi, and said gently: "Su Ran, please sit next to Shen Yi first, so that you can get familiar with the class as soon as possible." Su Ran smiled and nodded in thanks, strode to the seat and sat down. He turned slightly sideways, stretched out his hand, and said to Shen Yi with a smile: "Take care of me in the future." Shen Yi responded with a smile and held his hand: "You're welcome, let's work together." Jiang Xingchen took in all this scene and felt inexplicably uncomfortable. She lowered her head and continued to do her homework, but her mind was not on it at all. She secretly looked at Su Ran, wondering whether the arrival of this new classmate would bring any changes to her relationship with Shen Yi. In the days that followed, Su Ran quickly integrated into the class. Not only did he have excellent grades, he also played basketball very well. He soon became a popular figure in the school and attracted the attention of many girls. What made Jiang Xingchen a little concerned was that Su Ran seemed to pay special attention to her. During breaks, he would always find opportunities to chat with Jiang Xingchen, asking her about school club activities or sharing some interesting experiences. Once, the school organized a poetry recitation competition, and Jiang Xingchen and Shen Yi both signed up. During the preparation process, Su Ran offered to help Jiang Xingchen select poems and patiently explained to her the techniques of recitation. His voice was low and contagious, and Jiang Xingchen was entranced when he demonstrated and recited. "Xingchen, look at the emotional transition here, it needs to be handled more delicately." Su Ran pointed to the poem and said seriously. Jiang Xingchen nodded slightly, his cheeks turning slightly red. Shen Yi saw all this and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. Although he and Jiang Xingchen trusted each other, Su Ran's frequent proximity still gave him a sense of crisis. One day after school, Shen Yi took Jiang Xingchen's hand and said seriously: "Xingchen, you have been very close to Su Ran recently. I'm a little worried." Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "Don't think too much, we are just ordinary classmates, he is just eager to help." Although Shen Yi nodded, the worry in his heart was not completely eliminated. As time went by, Su Ran and Jiang Xingchen communicated more and more. The school held a literary evening, and Su Ran invited Jiang Xingchen to perform a show together. Jiang Xingchen hesitated for a while, but agreed. They chose a romantic song, and during the rehearsal process, the two became more and more harmonious. Su Ran's eyes gradually revealed some different emotions. On the day of the party, Jiang Xingchen wore a light blue dress, looking like a fairy descending to earth. She and Su Ran sang affectionately on the stage, and the audience burst into applause. Shen Yi stood in the audience, looking at the two people on the stage with mixed feelings in his heart. After the performance, Su Ran took advantage of Jiang Xingchen's happiness and mustered up the courage to confess: "Xingchen, actually I have liked you for a long time. I have liked you since the first time I saw you." Jiang Xingchen was stunned for a moment, she did not expect that Su Ran would suddenly confess. At this moment, Shen Yi stepped forward, took Jiang Xingchen's hand, and said firmly: "Su Ran, Xingchen is my girlfriend, and we have always been in love." Jiang Xingchen looked at Shen Yi, and a warm current surged in her heart. She held Shen Yi's hand tightly and said to Su Ran, "I'm sorry, Su Ran, I only have Shen Yi in my heart." A trace of disappointment flashed in Su Ran's eyes, but she quickly recovered her smile and said, "It doesn't matter, it was me who was abrupt. I wish you happiness." After experiencing this turmoil, the relationship between Jiang Xingchen and Shen Yi became even stronger. They faced the challenges of the future together and spent the best years of high school together. Those windswept days became the most precious memories of their youth. Concept: Youth and growth
