Genius Girlfriend

Chapter 15: Seven times my heart has been sorrowful

Views:

Six students from Grade 4 (1) did not participate in the autumn outing to the aquarium.

Liu Xingjian is that one-sixth.

As we all know, Liu Xingjian broke his leg at home during the summer vacation and experienced the life of an elderly person in advance, having to use a cane wherever he went.

One day in early November, Liu Xingjian went to the hospital to remove the plaster and finally threw away his crutches. The doctor told him that his leg injury had basically recovered. He was so young and had a very good recovery ability. As long as he followed the doctor's advice and paid attention to maintenance and rehabilitation, there would be no sequelae.

Liu Xingjian was in a very happy mood. His glorious era was about to return.

After several months, Liu Xingjian no longer needed help from outside forces. He climbed up the stairs step by step with his own legs and entered the classroom of Grade 4 (1). Under the gaze of many classmates, Liu Xingjian said, "My legs are healed."

It was a rainy morning. All the lights in the classroom were turned on. The bright lights were a silent hymn. Class monitor Dong Sunqi took the lead in applauding Liu Xingjian: "Congratulations! Congratulations to Liu Xingjian! He stood up! He stood up!"

The applause was sporadic but intermittent.

Liu Xingjian walked towards his seat with his schoolbag slung over his shoulder.

He was wearing a black Adidas backpack, which made him look mature and classy, even more stylish than the sixth grade seniors. After he sat down, he placed a stainless steel water bottle on the table, then slowly turned his head and glanced at Jiang Yubai meaningfully.

Jiang Yubai is also concentrating on drawing the "Exploring the Universe" series of comics.

In order to better and more concretely present the economic market of Orion, Jiang Yubai is currently self-studying some economic theories. His parents are eager for him to be interested in finance and management, so they quickly arranged a new tutor for him and even asked Jiang Yubai's semi-retired grandfather to personally teach and answer Jiang Yubai's questions.

Jiang Yubai's knowledge system includes some very valuable practical experience, and those things are all things that Lin Zhixia has never heard of or seen before.

Jiang Yubai and Lin Zhixia were keen on building a mathematical economic model for the Orion market, and they often had a lot of fun playing with it. Under Jiang Yubai's arrangement, the gross domestic product of the Earth Corps was booming.

"That won't work," Lin Zhixia said, "We are the Earth Corps. Our development is too smooth, without any twists and turns, and readers won't like it."

Jiang Yubai didn't even raise his head, still painting: "I am a reader. I like it."

Lin Zhixia lay on the desk, staring at the tip of his rapidly moving pen: "The villain Dong Sunqi has no role to play, and the navigator Lin Zhixia has no role to play either."

"You have a lot of roles," Jiang Yubai paused and turned two pages. "You appear every day. Yesterday, you led the Earth Army to detonate an intercontinental missile on the molecular cloud..."

Before Jiang Yubai could finish his words, a finger suddenly poked at his desk.

He looked up and just happened to see Liu Xingjian.

Anyone with eyes in this world can see that Liu Xingjian has bad intentions.

Liu Xingjian put his left hand in his pocket and supported Jiang Yubai's table with his right hand. In this way, he could not only reduce the support force of his legs, but also bring a sense of oppression to Jiang Yubai.

Liu Xingjian had a blank expression on his face, just like the ruthless character in the TV series The Four. His skin was too white, so his classmates called him a "little white face" behind his back, but no one dared to call him that in front of him.

No one knew why he would cause trouble for Jiang Yubai.

Jiang Yubai remembered that not long ago, when Liu Xingjian still needed to use a cane, Jiang Yubai had inexplicably angered Liu Xingjian.

Liu Xingjian asked Jiang Yubai to wait for him. He said that he would definitely teach Jiang Yubai a lesson.

What color

Jiang Yubai waited and watched.

Jiang Yubai closed his notebook and handed this precious comic book series "Exploring the Universe" to Lin Zhixia. His movements were decisive yet graceful, just like Liu Bei entrusting his son to others in Baidi City.

"Is there something?" Jiang Yubai asked first.

"Hehe." A sneer broke out from Liu Xingjian's mouth.

Jiang Yubai was recognized as the most handsome boy in Experimental Primary School. Liu Xingjian was also very good-looking. Their strange confrontation attracted many sidelong glances from their classmates, especially the female classmates.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Teacher Qian will bring the first math class. Now it is 7:55, and in just five minutes, Teacher Qian will step into the classroom.

Teacher Qian was very strict with her. She hated it most when students in her class quarreled, fought, or argued with each other. If she found out, all the troublemakers would be punished by standing in the corridor.

This was a matter of life and death, so Liu Xingjian didn't waste words. He got straight to the point and went straight to the point: "Jiang Yubai, are you painting Exploring the Universe?"

Jiang Yubai thought Liu Xingjian was going to pick a fight with him, and he was ready to defend himself. He didn't expect Liu Xingjian to mention the "Exploring the Universe" comic series.

In fact, Liu Xingjian originally wanted to fight.

But he heard that Jiang Yubai lived in the manor, went to bed early and got up early every day, insisted on exercising, and had a special martial arts teacher. Liu Xingjian's leg injury had just recovered. At this time, Liu Xingjian came to Jiang Yubai to fight, which was obviously a very unwise behavior.

As the saying goes, outsmarting is the best policy.

Liu Xingjian came up with a solution.

Recently, the whole class is obsessed with "Exploring the Universe" serialized by Jiang Yubai and Lin Zhixia. The class is divided into two camps, one is the Earthlings represented by Jiang Yubai, and the other is the Orion resistance organization headed by Dong Sunqi. The students of Orion complained that the Earthlings were too powerful. The Earthlings not only have a military defense system, but also economic raw material support... Orion has no hope of winning at all.

So now, Liu Xingjian said to Jiang Yubai: "I want to draw your cartoon."

Jiang Yubai responded calmly: "Why?"

Liu Xingjian glared at him and said, "On behalf of Orion, I will smash you to pieces. I want the people of Earth to get lost!"

When Liu Xingjian said the bold words "I will smash you to pieces", Teacher Qian just stepped into the main door of the classroom. Some of the Orion students in the class were extremely nervous, so nervous that their stomachs were upset and they wanted to vomit on the spot.

The situation is quite complicated.

Teacher Qian looked pale.

Liu Xingjian had his back to the classroom door, and didn't notice the subtle atmosphere in the class, let alone that Teacher Qian had arrived. The bell hadn't rung yet, and Liu Xingjian thought he still had time.

He chose to come to Jiang Yubai before this math class, and he also calculated that Jiang Yubai would not dare to attack him. He became more and more arrogant and said: "All the people on Earth are losers!"

"Liu Xingjian!"

Teacher Qian’s roar shook the sky.

Jiang Yubai gloated and whispered, "Please turn around. There are people from Earth behind you."

Liu Xingjian turned his head suddenly, and Teacher Qian approached him step by step. Teacher Qian held the teaching stick in his hand, his face looked extremely bad, and he exuded a terrifying aura. At that moment, the students nearby felt that the end of the world was just like this.

"Liu Xingjian! What are you talking about!" Teacher Qian asked with great sorrow.

In fact, Liu Xingjian can reveal the secrets of the "Exploring the Universe" comic series.

However, homemade comics are not allowed in school.

The class teacher, Mr. Wu, strictly prohibits all behaviors related to "writing novels and drawing comics."

"The foundation of a novel is experience and knowledge. What can you write at such a young age? Do you understand how to create characters and design plots? Don't waste paper, I tell you." - This is the earnest teaching of Teacher Wu.

"Exploring the Universe" thrived under the tacit support of the entire class, and all the students in the fourth grade (one) class became underground party members without any guidance.

No one reported Jiang Yubai.

No one reported "Exploring the Universe".

If Liu Xingjian leaks the existence of "Exploring the Universe", the whole class will face an unprecedented catastrophe. The head teacher will criticize a large group of students in the class meeting. She will dig up the past, reason with them, and ask them to write self-criticisms.

To everyone's surprise, Liu Xingjian did not mention "Exploring the Universe" in front of Teacher Qian. He took all the responsibility alone. He took a deep breath, clenched his fists, and answered loudly: "I was just kidding!"

"Get out!" Teacher Qian pointed at the front door of the classroom. "Get out right now! Stand in the classroom for the whole class! Don't come into my classroom! You're so young, yet you actually said something like 'Earthlings are losers, they should go back to Earth'! Liu Xingjian, have you lost your mind because of all the reading? You don't have any basic sense of right and wrong! Do you still think this is a small matter? You can just say it for fun? Don't think that just because your mother is the vice-president and your father is the director, no teacher dares to criticize you! Get out right now! Keep your tongue shut and don't say a word! Reflect on yourself! There is no law anymore, your brain is rusted!"

The whole class remained in deathly silence.

You know, Liu Xingjian had never been punished by the teacher to stand.

He is proud, noble, and inviolable.

He was the only one who bullied his classmates, and no classmates bullied him. His heart was smaller than the eye of a needle. He always returned a small grudge with a spring.

All the classmates avoided him like the plague.

And today, Liu Xingjian provoked Jiang Yubai for the first time, and ended up being punished by standing in the corridor.

Even Liu Xingjian couldn't disobey Teacher Qian's order. He glared at Jiang Yubai fiercely, his eyes were like knives, and the blade was sharp, as if he wanted to eat Jiang Yubai alive.

Jiang Yubai unscrewed the water cup, poured out half a cup of tea, sat in his seat, and drank tea as if no one was around. The light fragrance of tea wafted in the air, and Lin Zhixia asked him softly, "What kind of tea is this?"

He replied: "West Lake Longjing, eight trees in front of the emperor."

Lin Zhixia asked quietly: "Isn't that very expensive?"

Jiang Yubai said calmly: "Not bad."

Liu Xingjian couldn't stand it. He couldn't stand Jiang Yubai's annoying look and really wanted to punch him in the face.

However, Teacher Qian scolded loudly, "What are you waiting for! Liu Xingjian! Don't think I will negotiate with you! Get out of here right now and stand in the corner as punishment! After class, I will find your head teacher and your mother and have a good talk with you!"

Liu Xingjian ran out of the classroom in one go.

He stood quietly in the corridor as punishment.

Today happened to be another rainy day. A fine drizzle fell from the sky, blurring the scenery. The cold wind, carrying cold water, blew on him. He was shivering from the cold, but his bones were harder than usual.

Liu Xingjian subconsciously stood by the window. He saw that there were chandeliers, chairs, and radiators in the room.

He put his hands in his sleeves, looking dazed, like a country farmer who had lost his food before the winter.

Through the window, Lin Zhixia noticed Liu Xingjian. She couldn't help but think of the poem "My Heart Has Grieved Seven Times" by the Lebanese poet Gibran. Gibran wrote in the poem: For the seventh time, my heart leaned sideways in the mud of life, unwilling but timid.

I am trapped in the mud of life, unwilling but timid.

So apt.

This is Liu Xingjian’s current situation.

He was extremely unwilling, but he couldn't rush into the classroom.

He poured all his dissatisfaction into his gaze, examining Jiang Yubai without relaxing for a moment.

Jiang Yubai's seat was in the corner of the last row of the classroom. He was enjoying himself here. He seemed to be listening to the class seriously, but he would occasionally say a few words to Lin Zhixia. Then, Lin Zhixia would definitely lie on the table and laugh.

What are they two laughing at

Are you laughing at me? Liu Xingjian thought to himself.

Liu Xingjian felt extremely humiliated. This heavy feeling of humiliation could only be understood by Liu He, the seventh emperor of the Western Han Dynasty. According to historical records, Liu He was demoted to "deposed emperor" and exiled to a wild land after only 27 days in office.

At a young age, Liu Xingjian already understood how tragic it was to be "demoted" and "exiled".

The dim sky can be measured by time.

For Liu Xingjian, every second seemed like an year.

The school building was in the shape of a U-shaped building. He could see the teachers passing by in the opposite corridor, and those teachers could also see him. Since his mother was the vice-president of the school, in charge of the education funds for the senior grades, most of the teachers in the school knew Liu Xingjian.

Everyone knows Liu Xingjian!

This class lasted for forty-five minutes and was a tormenting period for Liu Xingjian.

He endured a math class in an extremely embarrassing situation.

When he heard the bell ring for the end of get out of class and saw Teacher Qian walk out of the classroom, his figure was as fast as a gust of wind. He rushed back to the classroom directly.

Jiang Yubai was surrounded by classmates. Liu Xingjian shouted, "Get out of the way!" and no one blocked his way.

Squad leader Dong Sunqi's face turned pale. He was afraid that Liu Xingjian would not be able to control himself.

Dong Sunqi wanted to be a peacemaker. He prepared a plan in his mind before he said softly, "Liu Xingjian, you would rather stand in the corner than tell anyone about the comics. We all understand! We all remember your kindness! Next month, each class in the fourth grade will nominate an outstanding class leader. Let's nominate you! Nominate Liu Xingjian!"

Ding Yan echoed, "Nominate Liu Xingjian! Vote for our Brother Liu!"

"You guys, don't even think about bribing me!" Liu Xingjian responded coldly.

The math class just now might not be a big deal for other students, but it was a huge challenge for Liu Xingjian. He put the blame on Jiang Yubai.

He said to Jiang Yubai: "Jiang Yubai, the whole class is watching your "Exploring the Universe". You are biased towards Earthlings, you are being unfair."

That's true.

Class monitor Dong Sunqi also agreed to some extent.

Dong Sunqi is the villain in the "Exploring the Universe" comic series. Compared with Jiang Yubai's Earth Army, Dong Sunqi's troops are poorly equipped. What should he do? Should Dong Sunqi watch his fellow Orionists lose to the Earthlings

This is impossible!

Dong Sunqi strongly supports Liu Xingjian: "Liu Xingjian! You are a classmate of ours, you should also have a role in the comics! Come to our Orion, let's attack the Earthlings together!"

"Okay," Liu Xingjian stretched out a hand towards Jiang Yubai, "Give me the comics. Let us, Orion, draw the plot of Orion."

Jiang Yubai disagreed.

Liu Xingjian was furious and his eyes were bloodshot.

The confrontation between Liu Xingjian and Jiang Yubai is at a fever pitch.

Although the classmates in the class did not often discuss it, they all knew about their respective family situations and vaguely understood the reason why the head teacher treated them differently. When the head teacher faced Liu Xingjian and Jiang Yubai, he always had a spring-like warmth.

Intervening in the dispute between Liu Xingjian and Jiang Yubai is a thankless task, and even squad leader Dong Sunqi has to think twice before doing so.

However, Lin Zhixia suddenly said, "Liu Xingjian, you can prepare a notebook for yourself as a new chapter of the Orion series of "Exploring the Universe". However, you must keep it consistent with our story and you cannot destroy the integrity of the comic plot."

Many students in Orion were very excited. They were very happy to appoint Liu Xingjian as the new screenwriter of Orion's story. After all, Liu Xingjian was one of their own.

Liu Xingjian responded promptly.

Jiang Yubai hesitated for a moment. Lin Zhixia looked at him, unable to object. He silently expressed his agreement.

Liu Xingjian didn't waste a moment. He opened a brand new leather notebook and wrote the seven characters "Exploring the Universe Orion" on the cover. Following Lin Zhixia's instructions, he wrote down his own character on the first page of the notebook: Liu Xingjian, the Orion Legion...

"Deputy leader." Lin Zhixia suggested.

"Yes!" Dong Sunqi echoed, "Liu Xingjian is the deputy leader of our Orion!"

A group of people gathered around Liu Xingjian's seat. A classmate from Orion stretched out his finger and touched Liu Xingjian's notebook. Liu Xingjian slapped his classmate's hand away and said angrily, "Get away! Don't disturb me from thinking about the plot!"

Jiang Yubai reminded him: "Don't forget what you promised just now. You can't destroy the integrity of the story. Your plot must be logical."

"There must be logic" is a point that Jiang Yubai emphasized.

The comic book series "Exploring the Universe" is rooted in Lin Zhixia's rich and extensive knowledge. According to the comic book content, the Earthlings and Orions have developed their own production systems and economic values - they can build factories, dig gold mines, create schools, and produce troops. Every morning at 7 o'clock, Lin Zhixia will update the data of each camp based on yesterday's economic growth rate, scientific and technological research and development rate, and population expansion rate.

So far, Dong Sunqi has been working hard to develop the economy and people's livelihood. He dreams of revitalizing the economy, expanding the universe, and defeating the Earth Legion.

Liu Xingjian seemed to be of one mind with Dong Sunqi. The first painting he drew was of Liu Xingjian drawing his sword and swearing allegiance to Dong Sunqi.

Dong Sunqi clapped his hands with satisfaction: "Liu Xingjian, our deputy leader, you have just joined Orion, let's hold a welcome party for you!"

Liu Xingjian frowned and drew a rough auditorium. In his drawing, Liu Xingjian was in the hall of the auditorium, toasting Dong Sunqi.

Jiang Yubai commented: "It's like Li Lianying meeting Empress Dowager Cixi."

Li Lianying met with Cixi

Everyone knows that Li Lianying was the chief eunuch in the late Qing Dynasty! Liu Xingjian threw his pen and flew into a rage: "Jiang Yubai! You called me a eunuch!"

"What I mean is," Jiang Yubai defended, "you are a loyal soldier, and you respect your leader very much!"

Lin Zhixia chimed in: "Loyalty is the supreme medal. The chivalry of medieval Europe advocates loyalty and bravery!"

Liu Xingjian took a breath and wrote down his own lines in his notebook: "Earthlings on Orion, are you afraid? I will not let you return to Earth unscathed!"

Lin Zhixia immediately replied: "As an Earthling, I remember that the ancient Roman Emperor Marcus Aurelius wrote in his book Meditations - 'What troubles us is our attitude and reaction to things. What makes us waver is not the things themselves, but our hopes and fears. ' As long as we have hope in our hearts, we can overcome all fears."

The people on Earth were amazed and applauded Lin Zhixia.

She became the well-deserved focus.

It was raining outside the window. There were thunder and heavy rain. The misty rain reminded Liu Xingjian of the day when he was scalded in the water room. Jiang Yubai not only did not formally apologize to him, but also mocked him for his lame leg.

This is intolerable. He will definitely make Jiang Yubai pay the price.

Liu Xingjian coughed dully and wrote on his notebook: "I want to declare war on the Earthlings! Attack their base!"

Dong Sunqi held Liu Xingjian's shoulders and said, "Deputy leader! You just joined the organization, and you want to go to war?"

"Catch them off guard!" Liu Xingjian said impassionedly.

Deputy monitor Tang Leqin is also from Orion. In fact, all the class leaders of Grade 4 (1) are basically from Orion, except for the Chinese class representative. The Chinese class representative is Lin Zhixia. As we all know, Lin Zhixia is the first military advisor of the Earth Corps.

The position of deputy leader of the Orion Corps has been vacant for a long time. Tang Leqin originally thought that since she was the deputy squad leader, she would naturally be the deputy leader. She never expected that Liu Xingjian, who suddenly appeared, would take her position.

"Mr. Deputy Chief!" Tang Leqin asked angrily, "Have you seen 'Exploring the Universe'? Do you know how much money our organization has now and how many people are in the army?"

Liu Xingjian's expression changed.

He doesn't know.

Of course he doesn't know.

He hasn't had time to read the "Exploring the Universe" comic series yet.

But he is a qualified deputy chief.

A qualified deputy leader will not expose his ignorance. Undoubtedly, the deputy leader should play a role in stabilizing the morale of the army. Moreover, this cosmic war is imminent and inevitable.

Liu Xingjian stood up from his seat, with his back to a window. Outside the window, there was a storm and the light was dim. Standing in the darkest moment, he gave an impromptu speech: "Without money and people, do you dare not fight? Are you willing to follow Dong Sunqi and be a coward? Jiang Yubai has bullied you, and you still keep your tail between your legs? Do you have the guts? Do you dare to fight?"

"Hit him!" A boy nearby responded first.

The phrase "following Dong Sunqi is like being a loser" deeply offended Dong Sunqi himself. When Dong Sunqi watched movies, he admired the smart villains the most, such as the gangster bosses in "Infernal Affairs". He hoped that when he led the Orion army, he could show the same style.

However, Liu Xingjian is a furious person through and through.

Dong Sunqi tried to stop him: "Liu Xingjian! You are the deputy leader! You must know that Jiang Yubai's military strength is stronger than ours!"

Liu Xingjian was firm: "I don't care! I want you to start the war immediately! If you don't start the war, I will..." He pulled the deputy squad leader Tang Leqin over and asked, "What power does the deputy leader have?"

Tang Leqin revealed like a double agent: "Reporting to the deputy leader, you can open the military arsenal."

"Okay!" Liu Xingjian glared at Dong Sunqi, "If you don't start a war, I will open the military arsenal and blow up the Orion base."

"Ah! You traitor!" Dong Sunqi cried out in despair.

Dong Sunqi's deskmate supported Dong Sunqi and comforted him: "Chief! Chief! Hold on! You have to hold on! If you fall, thousands and thousands of fellow Orion compatriots will..."

"There is no future." Lin Zhixia helped him come up with an adjective.

Dong Sunqi learned from his pain and managed to stand up. With his hands behind his back, he walked in the aisle made of desks. He remembered a TV series he watched last year, called "Love Across Time and Space". "Love Across Time and Space" tells a vivid story - two beautiful sisters traveled to the Ming Dynasty and witnessed the social development and historical changes of the Ming Dynasty.

Dong Sunqi remembered that in the TV series, the Ming Dynasty Emperor Zhu Yunwen was unfortunately usurped by his fourth uncle Zhu Di, and the whole world changed dynasties. Dong Sunqi took history as a mirror and secretly calculated that he would not make the same mistakes as Zhu Yunwen, let alone repeat his mistakes.

"Liu Xingjian!" Dong Sunqi boldly called out Liu Xingjian's full name, "If you want to fight, then fight. However, on the battlefield, you must obey my command! I am the leader of the Orion Organization, I have the ability to control the magnetic field! I can detonate the cloud core, you can't afford it!"

The saliva he sprayed splashed on Liu Xingjian's face.

Liu Xingjian lowered his head, raised his sleeves, and wiped the spit off his face. His eyes were filled with complex emotions, his expression changed rapidly, and his laughter was sinister and cruel: "When will the fight start?"

"How about after the next class?" Lin Zhixia suggested seriously, "It's raining today, so we don't have to run during the break. We have half an hour of entertainment time. I will make the rules of war later. Tang Leqin and Ding Yan, you two are deskmates, so you will be responsible for drawing the battlefield terrain map."

Tang Leqin and Ding Yan agreed immediately.

The whole class was looking forward to the big break.

The thirty minutes during the break will be a cosmic battle with the participation of the whole class!

Liu Xingjian felt relieved. He didn't care about Orion, the deputy leader, the factory, or the soldiers. He just wanted to focus all his firepower on the virtual battlefield during the break and beat up Jiang Yubai's comics incarnation.

He sat back in his seat, turned his head, and glanced at Dong Sunqi, Tang Leqin and others. To his surprise, he found that Tang Leqin was playing cat's tuck with Lin Zhixia!

Tang Leqin and Lin Zhixia stood at the back of the classroom. Tang Leqin held the rope with both hands, while Lin Zhixia hooked her fingertips to pick it up. She smiled very sweetly, with sparkling eyes.

At the critical moment of the life-and-death battle, Tang Leqin was actually in the mood to play catapult!

Moreover, he was playing cat's tack with the enemy's first military strategist—the most evil Lin Zhixia!

Is cat's tangle really that fun

This is simply an unforgivable act of treason!

Liu Xingjian was furious. He grabbed his deskmate and asked, "Are you from Orion too?"

Deskmate Nuo Nuo nodded: "Yes, yes, I have... a copy of the comic "Exploring the Universe" here." As he spoke, the deskmate opened his schoolbag and handed a stack of copies to Liu Xingjian.

Liu Xingjian was overjoyed.

This class is a Chinese class.

Teacher Wu walked up to the podium with the lesson plan in his arms.

The texts to be learned today are two ancient poems titled "Farewell to Meng Haoran on his Way to Guangling" and "Farewell to Yuan Er on his Way to Anxi".

Teacher Wu first talked about "Farewell to Meng Haoran on his way to Guangling". She read out the first line of the poem: "My old friend bids farewell to the Yellow Crane Tower and goes to Yangzhou in the fireworks of March." Then she commented: "Listen, students, how beautiful our Chinese ancient poetry is. The author of this poem is Li Bai. Who is Li Bai? Oh, by the way, Teacher Wu has told you before that Li Bai is the immortal poet in our history..."

Teacher Wu spoke with great interest on the stage.

Lin Zhixia was sitting at her seat formulating the rules for the cosmic war. She was also very excited. She simplified the way the two sides would fight and listed a series of relevant data. She had already prepared for the war to begin—Earthlings would never be slaves!

Jiang Yubai asked her quietly: "Can you win?"

Lin Zhixia asked back: "Do you want to win? I said, as long as we have fun, I don't care about winning or losing."

Victory or defeat is external to oneself.

Jiang Yubai's focus is: "What kind of game can make you happy?"

"Haha," Lin Zhixia laughed, "The starting point of your question can make me happy."

Jiang Yubai repeated: "Starting point?"

"That's your deeper intention." Lin Zhixia explained.

When she was whispering with Jiang Yubai in class, a student on Jiang Yubai's right passed a small note across the corridor. Teacher Wu happened to be writing on the blackboard and did not see the student's small movements clearly.

The little note came from the class monitor's desk mate.

The monitor's deskmate is called Wei Rongjie. Wei Rongjie is also a very special boy. He loves history and is familiar with "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". He reads a surprising amount. He must read "Yilin" and "Reader" when they are published, and he reads "Zhiyin" and "Story Club" repeatedly. Sometimes he also makes some notes and excerpts for the excellent magazine "Modern Family".

Wei Rongjie is well-informed. He is the first military advisor of the Orion Legion.

All the classmates knew that Lin Zhixia had read a lot of books. And Wei Rongjie seemed to have read a lot of books as well. The gap between him and Lin Zhixia should not be that big - this is how Dong Sunqi comforted himself.

So, in this Chinese class, Dong Sunqi asked Wei Rongjie: "Wei Rongjie, what should we do? Liu Xingjian wants to attack the Earthlings' base, and Jiang Yubai and Lin Zhixia are making preparations. Our Orion Corps' economy is not good, and we have few soldiers. If we go to war now, wouldn't that be suicide?"

Wei Rongjie realized the seriousness of the situation.

He frowned, held the pen, and sighed: "Chief..."

Dong Sunqi also sighed: "Just tell me, I don't blame you."

Wei Rongjie said bluntly: "I have a solution!"

Dong Sunqi hurriedly urged: "What's the solution? Tell me now! The get out of class will end in 30 minutes. After class, we will have a long break. Let's start the battle right away!"

Wei Rongjie spread out his homework book: "We can get married!"

Dong Sunqi looked surprised: "Marriage?"

"Yes, marriage!" Wei Rongjie introduced, "A war can only begin if both sides agree. Now, Liu Xingjian wants to fight, but Jiang Yubai hasn't said he must fight. In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in order to win over Liu Bei, Sun Quan married his sister Sun Shangxiang to Liu Bei! We should learn from Sun Quan! My lord, I am Zhou Yu, and you are Sun Quan!"

Dong Sunqi frowned: "Who is Sun Shangxiang?"

Wei Rongjie suggested quietly: "Ruan Jingjing."

Dong Sunqi took a breath of cold air.

Ruan Jingjing was the literary and art committee member of their class. She opened her own bank in the comic "Exploring the Universe". She was a member of the Orion Organization and a powerful character. Dong Sunqi couldn't bear to lose such a capable person.

In addition, Ruan Jingjing was not easy to mess with. In the first semester of the third grade, she had an argument with a boy and made him cry.

Ruan Jingjing's nickname in the class is "Bawanghua".

Someone once asserted that the day Ruan Jingjing and Liu Xingjian fought would be the ultimate doomsday for Grade 4 (One) Class.

Dong Sunqi asked Wei Rongjie: "Will Ruan Jingjing agree?"

"Yes," Wei Rongjie said, "Ruan Jingjing told me that she misses Earth! She wants to be an Earthling."

After Dong Sunqi and Wei Rongjie reached an agreement, Wei Rongjie became very cautious.

Wei Rongjie first made a draft, and then based on the draft, he drafted a "peace agreement", which he successfully passed to Jiang Yubai in the form of a small note.

Jiang Yubai received the note and opened it. It read: "Dear leader of the Earth Legion, Jiang Yubai, hello. We have decided to assign Ruan Jingjing to the Earthling base! This is a marriage! I hope you don't start a war! Long live peace!"

Jiang Yubai was stunned for a few seconds.

Lin Zhixia snatched the note, glanced at it, and asked in confusion: "Marriage? Why did they think of marriage?"

"Psycho." Jiang Yubai commented.

On the three-foot-high podium, Teacher Wu was still explaining "Farewell to Meng Haoran on his way to Guangling" with deep affection. Holding the podium with both hands, Teacher Wu recited intoxicatedly: "The lone sail disappears into the blue sky, and only the Yangtze River is seen flowing across the horizon. This is not a simple sigh, students! In just fourteen words, it describes the natural beauty and the friendship of literati! You must carefully savor every word, appreciate Li Bai's romanticism, and appreciate the rhythmic beauty of poetry..."

"The lone sail disappears into the blue sky, leaving only the Yangtze River flowing across the horizon, describing the friendship of scholars and poets," Lin Zhixia repeated the poem, and then she asked in a low voice, "Jiang Yubai, do you accept the marriage? This will not affect our friendship."

Jiang Yubai tore the note into pieces: "I'm going to fight after class."

Wei Rongjie's strategy not only failed to ease the situation, but also accelerated the progress of the war.

This was something Wei Rongjie and Dong Sunqi had never expected.

After the bell rang, Teacher Wu walked out of the classroom.

Jiang Yubai stood up from his seat and shouted, "Earthlings must fight back!"

Lin Zhixia then declared: "This war was initiated by Liu Xingjian of Orion! We tried to reconcile, but Liu Xingjian disagreed..."

Lin Zhixia's ability to cheer for the people is first-rate, and Dong Sunqi knows it well. As long as Lin Zhixia has that intention, she can make a group of people cry... She must not be allowed to continue!

Dong Sunqi interrupted Lin Zhixia hastily: "Is there no room for negotiation? Lin Zhixia!"

"Go, Orion! Beat up the Earthlings!" Liu Xingjian slammed his water cup on the table, making a loud "bang bang" sound. Many of Orion's classmates were infected by Liu Xingjian's emotions, and they all shouted that they wanted to start a war immediately.

Ding Yan and Tang Leqin had already drawn a war map. On two A3 sheets of paper, they drew four areas: cliffs, lakes, steep cliffs, and deserts, marking them as A, B, C, and D respectively.

"Each of our armies can only occupy one area," Lin Zhixia suggested, "I want Area D!"

Area D is a precious land surrounded by mountains on three sides and is very close to the lake.

Originally, Liu Xingjian didn't want Area D, but he liked to compete with Lin Zhixia for things. He suggested toss a coin to decide the winner. If the coin is heads, Area D will belong to him; if the coin is tails, Area D will belong to Lin Zhixia.

Lin Zhixia agreed.

"Who will toss the coin?" Lin Zhixia asked.

"Me!" Ding Yan volunteered.

Ding Yan took a one-yuan coin from Lin Zhixia. Liu Xingjian was worried and took the coin for inspection. When he handed the coin to Ding Yan, he followed Ding Yan with a sinister look and threatened: "If you dare to play tricks, I will not let you leave the classroom."

Ding Yan was so scared by him that he got goose bumps and almost forgot that he had practiced Taekwondo.

The one-yuan coin flew in the air and landed on the table with a "pa".

turn out…

front!

Face up!

Liu Xingjian won!

Liu Xingjian successfully won the right to use area D. He high-fived Dong Sunqi, Wei Rongjie and others.

The Earth Corps students all cast reproachful glances at Ding Yan. Ding Yan huddled beside a table in shame, his entire face flushed, and he stammered, "I'm not... adequately prepared."

Lin Zhixia drew a circle near the cliff with a red pen: "Area B is better, we can be stationed in Area B."

Liu Xingjian slapped the table and said, "Fight, fight now." He selected weapons from the pictures in Lin Zhixia's notebook. Lin Zhixia had a rich arsenal of weapons, and Liu Xingjian selected the most powerful "anti-gravity weapons" and "microscopic black holes."

"Aim at Jiang Yubai!" Liu Xingjian said, "We'll aim at Jiang Yubai wherever he is!"

Tang Leqin reported to him: "Mr. Deputy Chief! We can't afford anti-gravity weapons and microscopic black holes! The prices of these two weapons are too expensive! We can't afford them!"

Liu Xingjian stretched out his index finger and pressed it on the line of words "Orion Economic Reserve". He said, "Orion's money is enough, you see, it's enough."

"No!" Tang Leqin obstructed, "This is our capital. If we use up all this money, we will have no money to take care of the soldiers, buy food, and mine gold!"

Liu Xingjian smiled coldly: "Why worry about what happens after death? As long as Jiang Yubai is dealt with, this little sacrifice is nothing! Stop talking nonsense! I will deal with Jiang Yubai today!"

Tang Leqin was furious: "You didn't leave any escape route for us Orion!"

"You're still blaming me!" Liu Xingjian exposed, "During the break in the last class, you and Lin Zhixia played cat's cradle! Why did you play cat's cradle with Lin Zhixia! Are you a spy sent by the Earthlings?"

Tang Leqin grabbed Dong Sunqi's arm and pinched it until Dong Sunqi's arm became numb.

Without any time to hesitate or think, Tang Leqin shook Dong Sunqi frantically: "Liu Xingjian wronged me! Dong Sunqi, it was you who dragged me to join Orion! Your deputy leader Liu Xingjian wronged people at will, don't you care?"

Dong Sunqi was so dizzy that he could only say, "There's nothing we can do. The war has already begun..."

Several people were arguing when suddenly there was a sound of shoes stomping on the ground from the front row.

Lin Zhixia reacted the fastest. She immediately found a seat and sat down, holding the notebook with Jiang Yubai's "Exploring the Universe" comic manuscript in her arms, pretending to be reading a Chinese textbook.

Except for Lin Zhixia, no one else left the scene.

Teacher Wu caught this group of people red-handed.

Teacher Wu held the pointer in one hand and banged the desk twice. She pulled out the map drawn on A3 paper, Liu Xingjian's declaration of war, and Wei Rongjie's draft version of the "marriage proposal".

At that moment, the entire Grade 4 (1) class seemed to have fallen into a swamp, which swallowed up all the joy and sound.

Teacher Wu walked up to the podium with the stolen goods in her arms. When she turned around, she shouted, "I am so disappointed in you! You are the worst class of students I have ever taught!"
