Within two classes, the news that Ban Sheng had spoken up for Liu Sijia spread to every corner of the school, and it even showed signs of getting more serious. For a while, rumors about the two of them were rife in the school.
Something like "It turns out that Ban Sheng likes Liu Sijia. It's not surprising. They both have similar family backgrounds and good looks. They are a perfect match", or "I've heard there's something fishy going on between them. Ban Sheng usually doesn't even look at anyone. It turns out it's because of Liu Sijia".
"I saw them together outside the school the day before yesterday!"
The rumors became more and more exaggerated, and the onlookers were eager to connect the two people's social media accounts to see if they were related, and even if they just glanced at each other in school, in order to find evidence that the two were together.
But the parties involved were unmoved. Ban Sheng continued to go to his observatory or play basketball, while Liu Sijia was still surrounded by a group of girls as usual. She wisely did not make any comment on the matter.
But he didn't deny it.
The break time is the busiest rest time in the school. There are students chasing and running around in the corridor, and the occasional scolding of the teacher.
Liu Sijia and Lin Weixia lay on the railing to take a break. Liu Sijia held a bottle of yogurt in her hand and took a sip from time to time. She looked at Lin Weixia who was standing beside her and reading a mystery novel. Her long hair was waist-length and her profile was quiet.
Her eyes moved to the nameplate on Lin Weixia's left chest, and she remembered something: "Where did you find the nameplate in the end?"
"I didn't find it. Ban Sheng sold it to me." Lin Weixia pressed her fingertips on a page of the book and looked up to answer.
Liu Sijia's expression was complicated for a moment, but soon returned to normal: "It's him, that's not surprising, Ban Sheng is a smart guy."
"He is a smart and intelligent person. He used all the resources he had to start a business and make money very early on. You want to say that he is short of money? He is not short of money at all. I don't understand him."
When Ban Sheng was mentioned, Liu Sijia's arrogance faded a little, and an expression of admiration appeared on her face. Seeing this, Lin Weixia rarely joked:
"The more you can't see through it, the more you're fascinated by it, right? But I heard in the morning—"
"What are you talking about?" Liu Sijia immediately covered her mouth, and a barely noticeable blush appeared on her face.
The two leaned against the railing to enjoy the breeze for a while, then went back. As soon as they returned to the classroom, Lin Weixia found that they had distributed the physics quiz papers from last week.
Because Lin Weixia transferred here midway and did not take the test, the kind class representative placed a blank paper on her desk.
Before the teacher came, the classroom was still extremely noisy, with students throwing books and distributing test papers in a mess. She glanced to the side and saw Ning Chao's physics test paper with a bright red score that was horrible to look at, but the person in question was sleeping soundly regardless.
When Liu Sijia passed the fourth group aisle, she looked at him with disgust, then walked to her seat with her hands behind her back. She deliberately entered the classroom from the back door, in fact, to pass by Ban Sheng's seat.
Even just looking at him.
Lin Weixia sat down and started doing the test paper.
She was looking at the questions on the test paper carefully when suddenly a shadow appeared on one side of the test paper. A figure walked over, pulled the chair back and sat down.
Qiu Minghua turned around immediately after hearing the voice and went to grab Ban Sheng's physics test paper. He looked down for three seconds, his mouth opened into an o shape, and the first thing he said was the quintessence of Chinese culture: "Fuck, 98 points, are you going to let me live!"
Ban Sheng ignored him completely and was opening the pull ring of a can of 7-Up. With a "click", he poured the entire bottle into a glass filled with ice and lemon, and tiny bubbles immediately emerged.
"That's awesome," Qiu Minghua was still sighing. He looked up and saw Ban Sheng struggling. He said, "When did you start liking to drink Xian Ning Qi? Isn't this stuff salty?"
Lin Weixia was drawing a friction force analysis diagram when the tip of her pen suddenly tilted and the straight line suddenly became crooked.
Seeing that Ban Sheng ignored him, Qiu Minghua held on to the physics test paper and refused to let go: "What kind of brain do you have? You only lost 2 points on the entire test paper. It's because your handwriting was too sloppy and you wrote 2 as 3. Otherwise, you would have got full marks!"
"Do you have any tricks you can teach me, buddy?"
"Drink more milk." Ban Sheng replied
Qiu Minghua was speechless. Damn it, how could this person say something so perfunctory in a serious tone
Lin Weixia decided not to listen to them anymore and put her attention back on the test paper. After finishing, she began to analyze the answers. She found that the Deep High School Exam paper was a little more difficult than she had imagined. It was no longer a matter of applying knowledge points, but rather training people's thinking ability and expanding their cognitive perspectives.
But it also proves once again that Ban Sheng is smart and extremely intelligent.
After the hair-tying incident at the morning meeting, Liu Sijia and Li Shengran started a cold war and quickly divided into factions. The friendship between girls is so strange, some people changed sides, and some people continued to choose to stay with Liu Sijia.
But overall, Queen Liu is still better and has more people supporting her. Li Shengran is not as domineering as before in the class and begins to feel the taste of being left out.
Compared to the powerful people she used to have, now some people have begun to secretly target her or give her the cold shoulder.
Liu Sijia started to bring Lin Weixia's lunch box every day and showed up at the cafeteria to eat with her every noon. They were quite dissatisfied with Liu Sijia's behavior of lowering her status and hanging out with F students, and they had already started to have opinions about her in private.
The two of them went to school together, ate together, and were very close.
Liu Sijia is bright and flamboyant, like a proud black swan; Lin Weixia has a cool temperament and a quiet personality, like a silent plant - a small cluster of flowers blooming on a cactus, white and soft.
Because of these two girls, the model of Student A and Student F becoming friends officially exists. However, in Shenzhen High School, apart from these two girls, in this fiercely competitive environment, Student A and Student F still do not interact with each other.
Lin Weixia began to adapt to the life in Shenzhen High School, but she did not fully master it. She still had a vague understanding of the ecological environment there. During the break, Lin Weixia took her homework to the teacher's office and returned to the noisy classroom.
Lin Weixia saw Liu Sijia sitting in her seat at a glance, looking lonely. Someone passing by wanted to approach her to show concern, but was discouraged by Liu Sijia's eyes.
She wouldn't let anyone get close.
Lin Weixia quickened her pace and walked over, asking softly, "What's wrong?"
Liu Sijia raised her head from her arms, her eyes red: "He—"
Lin Weixia understood that the only person who could bother Liu Sijia was Ban Sheng. But because of the scandal, she was very proud these days. In the last class, she was discussing with Lin Weixia whether Ban Sheng used a Dunhil or Zorro lighter. She would get one tomorrow.
But within one class period, the situation changed.
Lin Weixia followed Liu Sijia's movements and looked out the window. Ban Sheng was leaning lazily on the corridor railing with one hand in his pocket. He got a drone from somewhere and held the remote control in the other hand.
Ban Sheng's drone patrolled every corner of the school for him. Qiu Minghua slammed the railings on the side and said, "Master Ban, let it fly farther away. Let's see if we can find my beloved basketball in some stinky ditch."
When I looked to the side, I saw a girl standing next to the boy. She looked like a senior student, wearing a school uniform, with fair skin and a great figure.
The girl reached out and tugged at his sleeve, raised her eyebrows and shook the can of Coke in her hand at him.
Liu Sijia stared at the two of them, waiting to see what response Ban Sheng would make in the next second.
As a result, Ban Sheng stuffed the remote control directly into Qiu Minghua's arms, took the Coke with his right hand, put his bony fingers on the silver pull ring, and lowered his neck to listen to the girl's speech with a casual posture.
The girl's toes were raised higher and higher, until her lips were about to touch his ear.
With a "da" sound, countless bubbles rushed upwards.
Ben opened a can of iced Coke.
The girls were so scared that they stepped back. But something in Liu Sijia's heart was also broken.
After a while, Qiu Minghua shouted "The Director is coming", and through the glass window, several figures could be seen running out. The classmates also went to physical education class in groups of three or five.
Gradually, there were only two people left in the classroom.
Liu Sijia blew her nose and began to speak: "I have been secretly in love with him for a long time."
Lin Weixia's heart skipped a beat, surprised by Liu Sijia's frankness. After all, a proud and outstanding girl like Liu Sijia would not easily take the initiative to say the word "secret love".
The word "secret love" represents inferiority and the one who admits defeat.
"Ban Sheng is a man with good looks and a good family background. He thinks faster than his peers and always does his best in everything he does. He has a steady personality and never acts on impulse. He is very thoughtful and proper in dealing with people and things. He is completely different from other boys who always make dirty jokes and have a second-year syndrome."
"He has a broad vision. He is interested in astronomy and has taught himself a lot of astrophysics. I heard that one summer vacation he went to the Northwest Observatory alone to observe the stars. He stayed there for two months in the dry and dusty weather just to find a star. Cool, right? I can't even understand the coordinates of the stars, let alone the physics knowledge. He likes swimming every day, so I followed him to learn, but I choked to death when I went into the water..."
“I never seem to be able to keep up with him.”
Lin Weixia held Liu Sijia's hand: "Sijia, I'm not very good at comforting people, but-"
Before she could finish the words "Don't force it", Liu Sijia suddenly interrupted her:
"Weixia, can you help me chase him?"
Liu Sijia's eyes were full of anticipation and desire.
