There are Fishes in Beichuan [北川有鱼]

Lu Xianyu and Dong Zhi separated at the school gate. She held the soy milk she bought at the breakfast shop in her hand, biting the straw and drinking it in small sips, and slowly followed the group of students upstairs.

　　When I was almost reaching Class 8 of Grade 2, someone tapped me on the shoulder.

　　She turned around and saw Ji Beichuan standing behind her.

　　In early November, the temperature in South City turned completely cold.

　　Ji Beichuan was wearing a dark leather jacket. He had a slender figure and a schoolbag hanging loosely on his shoulders. His hair was cut shorter and his temples were trimmed neatly with very short stubble. His eyebrows were strong and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, outlining a bad-tempered face.

　　She swallowed the soy milk in her mouth and continued walking towards the classroom.

　　Ji Beichuan followed her: "Ignore me?"

　　“…”

　　Lu Xianyu didn't say anything. She put down her schoolbag, took out the homework books for various subjects, and waited for the class representative to collect the homework.

　　Ji Beichuan raised his eyebrows, hooked his toes on the chair, threw his schoolbag on the table, and poked Lu Xianyu's elbow: "Lu Xiaoyu, how did I offend you?"

　　Lu Xianyu still ignored him, stood up, threw the empty soy milk bottle into the trash can, and left the classroom with the cup of water.

　　Ji Beichuan caught up with her, reached the corner of the corridor, and grabbed Lu Xianyu's arm: "You——"

　　"Paw, throw it away." Lu Xianyu shook off Ji Beichuan's hand and looked at him coldly: "Friends circle."

　　Ji Beichuan raised his eyebrows: "That's it?"

　　"Ah."

　　She sneered and turned to walk towards the water room.

　　Lu Xianyu filled the water and saw Ji Beichuan standing at the door. She raised her eyelids and said, "A good dog doesn't block the road."

　　"Are you really angry?" Ji Beichuan lowered his head, leaned close to Lu Xianyu's ear, and exhaled softly, "I can only blame you for being too popular. If I don't declare my sovereignty earlier, you might be kidnapped one day."

The boy's breath was hot, and Lu Xianyu felt like the skin around her ears and neck was about to be burned. She tightened her grip on the water cup with her fingertips.

　　"Still ignoring me?" Ji Beichuan was a little helpless. He stared at her and stretched out the ending tone. "Then I have to comfort the angry child, ok?"

　　"Are you sick?" Lu Xianyu was a little angry, her cheeks slightly red, and her watery almond eyes stared at him, "Who is the kid? I am your father."

　　"Okay." He smiled helplessly, his palm resting on her head, ruffling her carefully groomed short hair, "Dad Lu, don't be angry, I was wrong."

　　"I forgive you."

　　Lu Xianyu wasn't really mad at Ji Beichuan, she was just a little annoyed that he posted random messages on WeChat Moments.

　　Actually...it's not a complete rejection.

　　Lu Xianyu secretly glanced at Ji Beichuan who was following beside her. The light softened the boy's sharp facial lines. His straight nose, thin lips, and dark eyes reflected the light. He really had a good-looking appearance.
