Lincheng in midsummer is sweltering, the sky is blue, white clouds are mixed with a trace of dryness.
After a rain last night, the temperature did not drop but rose.
The cicadas were singing and the roses were blooming on the black iron railings of the school.
Xu You was carrying a white schoolbag, lying on the second floor, looking at the lively basketball court in the distance through the shadows of the dense trees. On the sun-exposed plastic runway, there are a group of boys running.
After waiting for a while, Chen Lizhi and a young female teacher finally came out from the Academic Affairs Office.
Xu You stood up straight, and called out obediently, "Auntie."
Chen Lizhi nodded, took her by the arm, and said with a smile to the fat female teacher next to her, "Then our child will be handed over to you."
Xu Huiru pushed up her glasses, glanced down at the names on the list, and read out: "Xu You, what a coincidence, I have the same last name as me."
Linshi No. 1 Middle School, the best private school in Lincheng.
Because of her parents' job transfer, Xu You came to this big northern city with her. After dragging my aunt to find a relationship, I transferred to this school as a transfer student.
No. 1 middle school is divided into junior high school and high school. Most of the students are local, and there are not many boarding students.
When my father came, he taught me a lesson along the way. Let her study hard when she gets there, don't waste time.
Xu You has top grades since she was a child, she is well-behaved and does not make trouble, and her family education is strict.
Seeing Xu You's obedient appearance, Xu Huiru felt very satisfied.
I couldn't help but think in my heart, finally a decent transfer student came, and he was able to upright the style of the class.
After thinking about it, I was a little worried.
This child is quiet and quiet, and looks easy to be bullied.
Last semester, she was assigned by the school to be the head teacher of class 9 for half a year, which really worried her a lot.
The group of students in the class is a headache to compete with each other.
Does not respect teachers, does not care about the sense of collective honor of the class, likes to fight and make trouble.
Private aristocratic schools like No. 1 Middle School are places where young masters and young ladies gather together. But Class 9 is famous, and a group of students are particularly evil.
The temper is more aggressive than the other, and there is a strong sense of superiority.
After getting the books from the textbook section, Xu You followed the head teacher to the class. The bell had just rang for the end of get out of class, and boys and girls in school uniforms walked by in twos and threes.
I ran into two boys in basketball uniforms in the corridor. As soon as they saw Xu Huiru, they immediately stopped and saluted. They both shouted in unison: "Hello, Teacher Xu!"
The loud voice startled Xu You.
The male students in the north seemed to be so tall and big, and their voices were particularly loud.
Xu Hui nodded as a gesture, and asked casually, "Did you just finish your physical education class?"
"Hey." One of the boys with dark skin and sweat all over his face stretched out his neck to look at Xu You who was standing quietly behind the head teacher, and asked with a smile, "Teacher, is this the new student in our class?"
Xu Huiru waved her hand and dismissed them, "Don't worry about that much."
away.
Xu Hui told her: "From now on, you should stop talking to those ignorant boys in your class and study hard, you know?"
Xu You nodded, "Understood, teacher."
"Um."
Xu Hui looked at the cotton dress she was wearing, and remembered: "After class in the morning, go to the lobby of Zhicheng Building to get the school uniform."
A corner, Class 9 is next to the stairs.
The classroom is bustling with activity, chasing and fighting, and the noise of people, everyone is playing their own things. The moment Xu Hui stepped into the door, she gradually became quiet.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the transfer student who appeared behind the head teacher, who was unfamiliar in the class.
Xu You held the book and stood near the podium.
The bright sunlight softly outlines her figure, and her fluffy black hair hangs down on her chest. A white dress just below the knee, and short cotton socks, revealing pale ankles.
Because the next physics class is about to start, the teacher is already waiting at the door. Xu Hui didn't intend to ask Xu You to introduce herself, so she just clapped her hands and said briefly to them: "This is a new classmate named Xu You. Welcome everyone."
A short silence.
"Welcome new classmate."
Some mischievous boys in the back row sat on the desks, with their elbows on their knees, and whistled to Xu You, accompanied by the laughter of several boys.
"Okay, okay, don't make trouble!"
Xu Huiru patted the desk with one hand to stop the restless atmosphere. She glanced around, stretched her fingers in the direction behind the fourth group, and said to Xu You: "You sit in that empty seat first."
After two seconds, Xu Huiru seemed to realize something was wrong, hesitated for a while, and patted Xu You on the shoulder: "You sit for a while, and you will change seats next week."
"good."
So Xu You, under the watchful eyes of the whole class, walked through the gap between the groups and walked to the aisle of the last few rows behind the fourth group to stand still.
It was a mess, with a few half-smoked cigarette butts lying sporadically on the ground. Books and scratch paper are piled up on the desks and chairs, and there are basketballs under the bench.
Xu You stopped and stood there, a little hesitant.
In the penultimate row, a boy in a black T-shirt was sitting inside, not wearing a school uniform. He leaned against the wall, blatantly lowered his head to play with his mobile phone. It seemed that she hadn't looked up since she entered the classroom.
Seeing Xu You stop there, the person who whistled just now smiled wickedly at the boy playing with the phone: "Aci, your new deskmate is here."
The boy called 'A Ci' propped his head on one hand on the desk.
It is estimated that he also ran in physical education class just now, and his black hair was wet.
He was chewing gum and ignored it at first.
After being pushed by someone leaning over, he slowly raised his head.
His dark eyes scanned the girl standing in front of him up and down.
A second or two passed. Lazily, he moved his legs crossed on the chair to make room for Xu You.
"Wait." Xu Huiru repented temporarily, standing at the door of the classroom and shouting, "Song Yifan, change seats with your new classmate and let Xu You sit in the front row."
Xu You breathed a sigh of relief.
The next class is physics. The teacher is a middle-aged man from the Mediterranean, nicknamed 'Li Tietou'. He is also one of the best in the grade and is known for his strictness. He treats students as if they are enemies, and is as ruthless as the autumn wind sweeps fallen leaves.
Although the students in Class 9 were very skinny, they were still a little scared of Li Tietou.
The group leader will take over the exercise books of the last physics homework one by one.
Xu You bowed her head, took out the notebook and pencil case from her schoolbag, and put them on the desk. Then sort out the new books you just received, and arrange them neatly one by one.
Her deskmate was a very beautiful girl, and there were cosmetics and curling irons in a mess on the desk.
The deskmate with curly hair was hanging behind her, and she was holding up a small mirror to touch up her lipstick.
After a hasty glance, Xu You straightened her body, looked at the blackboard, and prepared to listen carefully.
The group leader of the fourth group is a girl wearing glasses, tall and with a ponytail.
When she received it in the row behind Xu You, she deliberately put the notebook heavily on the table, and said in a high-pitched voice, "Thank you, hand in the homework."
It turned out that his name was Xie Ci.
Xu You thought silently in her heart.
Waited for a while.
"I didn't write it down."
An indifferent voice sounded, with a half-smile.
Song Yifan said angrily, "Group leader, you won't accept the homework of the group of us in the back, so why are you focusing on Ah Ci?"
"Isn't it... um?" He deliberately elongated his tone, provocative and teasing, which made the group behind laugh.
"Song Heipi, why are you so annoying!"
The team leader scolded, tossed his hair, and walked away with his homework in his arms.
Xu You tried to concentrate on the podium, but she still heard bursts of laughter coming from the right rear:
"He dares to accept the homework of the senior boss, and the team leader is amazing."
'Li Tietou' is going to teach a new class, electromagnetism.
Electromagnetism is one of the more important difficulties in high school physics. Xu You finished studying in the cram school early and studied many sets of questions. She took out her physics book and turned to the page the teacher was going to talk about.
For her, studying and solving problems is as instinctive as breathing.
"Hey, new classmate, what's your name?" After finishing her makeup, Fu Xueli picked up Xu You's student ID card that she put on the table familiarly, and took a look, "Xu You?"
"Hmm..." Xu You lowered her voice, lowered her eyelashes and nodded slightly.
"The name is weird."
Xu You: ... ... ... .
"It seems a bit."
"My name is Fu Xueli, Xuexue, Lizi's pear." She introduced herself.
Xu You glanced at her quietly, then nodded, "Remember, your name is really nice."
Fu Xueli burst out laughing, wondering if the child was a little naturally dumb.
Seeing her being an obedient student, afraid of being discovered by the teacher when speaking in class, Fu Xueli thought it was really cute.
The friends she plays with are either old fritters or rebels. No one is afraid of the teacher.
Class 9 is very polarized and there are many small groups. Roughly divided into two groups, educated and rich.
People on both sides look down on each other, but they both agree not to provoke anyone. Fu Xueli is a typical type, the type who spends his time with money, and his friends are also ignorant, eating, drinking and having fun all day long.
This is the first time she has come into contact with a girl like Xu You, with a plain face, a soft voice, and small and clean eyebrows.
The face is also small, and the stature is also small, like a junior high school student.
At first glance, he looks like a good student with a regular life schedule and excellent academic performance.
Fu Xueli slandered secretly in her heart, gave her Xu You's student ID back to its original place, and took out her mobile phone to play with boredom.
There were still two classes left in the morning, and it passed in a flash. Xu You didn't like to be crowded with others, so she planned to wait until all the people left before leaving.
She grabbed a piece of draft paper, lay down on the table, and calculated step by step a problem assigned by the teacher in class.
"New classmate, you love learning so much."
Song Yifan walked past Xu You and glanced casually. Seeing her bowing her head and writing, she couldn't help sighing: "Oh, you are very motivated."
The idle voice is not used to it.
Xu You's pen tip paused.
After a few seconds, I didn't know what to say, so I buried my head and continued to calculate the problem.
Suddenly, with a bang, a book fell on Song Yifan.
Fu Xueli glared at him, and said without hesitation: "Don't make fun of the little girl."
"Wori." Song Yifan rubbed his shoulders painfully, "I was at the same table as you just now, why is it so violent, why don't you show your concern for your new classmates?"
"Go away."
Fu Xueli didn't bother to talk to Song Yifan, she still didn't know what he was thinking.
She put on her shoulder bag and squeezed out from behind Xu You, "Xu You, when are you going to eat?"
"Ah?" Xu You looked up at Fu Xueli, thought for a while and said, "I'm going right away."
At this time, a group of boys from other classes were waiting at the door of the class. Someone poked his head inside and called, "A Ci, are you alright?"
Song Yifan immediately agreed: "Here, come, he and I will go right away, you go to block people first."
There seems to be a sudden wind.
A pair of black and red sneakers appeared in Xu You's peripheral vision.
Xie Ci stopped beside her, holding his school uniform jacket with one hand.
The draft paper on the table was suddenly taken away, Xu You was caught off guard.
A black water-based pen draws a line on the paper.
She looked up. He bumped into a pair of pitch-black eyes, the corners of which were slightly raised.
That person, leaning against her desk, holding a thin piece of paper between his index and middle fingers, tilted his head cynically and glanced at it.
on draft paper.
There are a few lines of square and beautiful lowercase letters, and the formulas for solving the problems are neatly listed.
"Help me with a physics homework."
After he finished speaking lazily, he left the classroom with the rest of the boys in the class.
