Alina was most afraid of sudden silence.
Stunned for a few seconds, Alina cleared her throat and said, "Well, when I went out today, I saw this funny thing, so I bought one for you. Do you like it?"
Alina opened the small box in her hand and handed it to Sheffield. There was a ceramic bunny in the box. The bunny looked cool. Alina thought that this bunny was somewhat like Sheffield. So she bought it.
Sheffield glanced at it and said in disgust, "It's so ugly. Take it away!"
'Alas... How could he say that?' When Alina was about to glare at him, she remembered her intention, so she forced a smile and said, "You don't like this, do you? I have another one which I bought it for myself, or you can have that one."
Alina took out another one which was a bunny with a lascivious look.
This bunny caught the attention of Sheffield. It was lying on Alina's palm. Its eyes were blinking and its mouth was watering. It was a frivolous bunny.
"Childish!" Pausing for a moment, Sheffield said in a despised tone.
"It's not childish. It's cute!" Alina slapped the bunny on Sheffield's arm and said, "Well, this one is for you. I want the cool one!"
After sending the gift, Alina immediately said goodbye, "You go on with the game. I'm leaving. Bye."
She came and went in a hurry, and Sheffield stared at the bunny with mixed feelings.
The next day, a new week began. Alina went to school as usual.
In the morning, Alina greeted Sheffield. It was rare that he didn't turn a blind eye to her, and he replied, "Good morning."
Alina suddenly felt that the bunny sent yesterday was worth it.
After having breakfast in a harmonious atmosphere, they went to school together.
On the way, Alina happily showed the bunny on her bag to Sheffield. He took a look and didn't say anything.
Alina encouraged herself that at least he took a look at it. They didn't even make eye contact before. Now he did much better than before.
She mustn't give up!
Before she got off the car, Alina said to Sheffield in a serious tone, "Be careful at school. Don't go to a remote place alone. Leave school with your classmates. If you leave school late, call me and I'll come to pick you up."
"I don't have your number." Sheffield looked at Alina and suddenly said.
"What?" Alina paused for a while. She didn't seem to have his number either. She took out her phone immediately and said, "Tell me your number. I'll call you."
"16676577868." Sheffield said very quickly without a pause.
"Don't be so quick," Alina said. "I can't remember. Say it again."
She hadn't used the physical keypad for a long time.
Then she made a call. Sheffield looked at the number on the screen and hung up.
"Miss Alaina, your school is here." The driver reminded Alina.
"Thank you, David." Alina opened the door, got off and waved to Sheffield, and then closed the door.
She went all the way to class 126. The classroom was as noisy as before.
With a faint smile on her face, Alina walked towards her seat. When Rose saw her, she greeted her at once, "Good morning!"
"Good morning."
"What's wrong with your face? It's a little swollen on the right." Rose was sharp eyed and could tell the difference at a glance.
Upon hearing this, Alina touched her face subconsciously and said with a smile, "When I picked up my pen, I hit the table by accident. Luckily, I was not badly hurt, otherwise I would be embarrassed today."
"You are too careless. Fortunately, you bumped into a table. If you hit something sharp, you would be disfigured!"
"You're right. From now on, you must be careful when picking up things," said Alina.
Rose sighed and changed the topic, "I heard that our exam results have come out. My score is definitely not high."
"Don't worry. It's not that bad," replied Alina, trying to console her.
"Of course you don't worry. You got over ninety points in math. I don't know if I have fifty points."
"The score of a course doesn't determine the ranking."
"Don't talk to me, please." Rose rolled her eyes at Alina.
"Fine, fine. I don't talk to you, I'll read."
Soon, the bell rang. Then, Leo walked in from the back door with a bag.
His eyes fell on Alina and then he moved to his seat.
As soon as Leo came to his seat, Mr. Su came in with English exam papers in his arms.
He put the exam papers on the platform, grinning. He glanced across the room and paused slightly as he saw Alina.
"Students, the results of the English papers have come out. Now I'll hand out the papers, and we will talk about it in the class."
After he finished his words, he began to hand out the papers, "Victor, Mark, Gordon..."
Rose stared at the exam papers on the platform. She felt nervous and wondered how many points she could get.
