[How to appease an angry sentinel]4
　
　Xie Ran forced a smile on his face and took the certificate of honor from the head of the grade. He was very close to Lu Zexuan. Under the lights of the big stage, he could clearly see the tears in Lu Zexuan's red eyes.

　　Xie Ran: "..."

The head of the grade said: "Let's applaud all the students who won the award!"

The audience burst into warm applause again. Xie Ran had a smile on his face, but he was very flustered.
　　
After all, he was the one who lied first. He lied to Lu Zexuan for a whole six months. With Lu Zexuan's straightforward temper and simple thoughts, would he think that he was deliberately teasing him, refused to forgive him, or even never see him again?
　　
Just thinking about it, he heard the head of the grade say: "Please go back to your seats, students."
　　
Several students walked down the podium one by one. In the dark corridor, Xie Ran whispered: "Zexuan."
　　
Lu Zexuan's back stiffened, pretending not to hear, and walked forward quickly. He quickly walked to the area where Class 6 was located and sat back in his seat with an expressionless face. There were too many students in the auditorium, and Xie Ran couldn't chase after Class 6, so he could only return to his seat helplessly.
　　
"The first semester is over, and the holiday officially starts now! Please pay attention to maintaining order and lead the students to leave the auditorium in order."
　　
With the announcement of the director, the summary meeting finally ended and the students left in an orderly manner. After Xie Ran left the auditorium, he immediately rushed to the dormitory building, knocked on the door of Lu Zexuan's dormitory, and asked, "Is Lu Zexuan here?"
　　
His roommate said, "Zexuan hasn't come back."
　　
Xie Ran frowned and turned to go to the teaching building, cafeteria, gymnasium, library...
　　
He searched all the places where Lu Zexuan often went, but he still couldn't see Lu Zexuan.
　　
Xie Ran stood on the school playground, looking around anxiously. Where did Lu Zexuan go? Was he hiding and sulking alone? He raised his head inadvertently, and suddenly saw a figure passing by on the rooftop of the opposite teaching building.
　　
Xie Ran's heart skipped a beat and he quickly climbed up to the rooftop.
　　
When he opened the door to the rooftop, he saw Lu Zexuan sitting alone in the corner, his eyes were red, and there were still traces of tears on his face.

　　Xie Ran: "............"

Little Lu was so angry that he cried. He was embarrassed to cry in front of his classmates, so he hid and cried secretly.

Xie Ran was immediately very soft-hearted. He took a step forward, then stopped and whispered, "I'm sorry."

Lu Zexuan wiped his eyes in embarrassment, his voice choked: "Why did you come?! To laugh at me?"

Xie Ran waved his hands hurriedly: "No, I..."

Lu Zexuan interrupted him: "Qin Xiaoluo, the son of General Qin, is a sentinel with a talent. His grades are ranked last in the class. He also told me every day that Xie Ran is a person with a bad temper, arrogant personality, and difficult to get along with... It turns out that you are Xie Ran."

The 6-year-old Lu Zexuan raised his head with tears in his eyes: "You are Xie Ran!"

" I have always believed in you so much, but you have been lying to me!"

Lu Zexuan's voice was full of anger of being deceived. He glared at Xie Ran fiercely, and his sad look made Xie Ran feel even more guilty.
　　
"Do you think that I'm very stupid and foolish, and that I've been fooled by you all day long?" Lu Zexuan took a breath and said with red eyes, "I treat you as a friend, and you've been playing tricks on me..." Lu Zexuan looked very aggrieved.
　　
Although he has been very sensible since he was a child, he is still a child after all. Knowing that he has been deceived, he will inevitably be hurt and sad.
