There is no sun today, it might be a cloudy day.
Zeng Erqiao asked Ye Zhao to ride Xiangzai's motorcycle to school, but Ye Zhao declined. She wanted to familiarize herself with the round-trip route, which was not far anyway.
Uncle Su went to Hong Kong City last night and hasn't come back yet, so Aunt He came to help her with the transfer.
Aunt He saw her from afar, and ran over with open arms, hugging her warmly like a real mother, "I wanted to visit you this weekend, but your Uncle Su wouldn't let me, saying he wanted to give you some space. How is it, are you used to it?"
"Not bad, thank you Aunt He for coming over. I'm sorry to bother you with the transfer."
"You're welcome."
Aunt He's name is He Huiqiong. Like the original owner's biological mother, she is an educated youth from Beijing. She is tall, with a square face. Her facial features are not outstanding, but she is quick and smooth in her actions. She is a typical northern woman.
In the original book, Ho Wai-king did not appear much. She and So Ying-min were husband and wife. In the early days, they were both staunch supporters of Ye Zhao. It was just that her original self was not ambitious, and they rarely interacted with each other later on.
Ho Wai-king took her to meet Director Liang, where she simply filled out her personal information and paid 12 yuan for the supplementary lessons. The tuition for the next semester would be collected before the start of the semester.
In addition to the tuition fees, He Huiqiang also paid for her textbooks, and she told Ye Zhao not to worry about the tuition for the next semester.
"Just study hard, and I'll ask your dad for the money."
Ye Zhao smiled and responded, then asked softly, "Aren't you going to take the entrance exam?"
He Huiqiong knew that Ye Zhao's grades were not good, and thought that she was afraid of taking the exam. She leaned over and whispered, "Don't worry, Principal Jia has arranged it for you. You don't need to take the exam, just go to class directly."
How could this be possible? Her good partner and future success witness, Principal Jia is quite righteous!
Director Liang was in a hurry to go out for a meeting, and said apologetically: "I won't take you there. The senior year office is in the far right corner of the third floor. Just go and report to your homeroom teacher, Mr. Zhou. He knows everything."
Yuxin Middle School is not very large, with three-story teaching buildings on three sides. The school is deserted and not crowded, with only senior high school and junior high school students taking extra classes.
Teacher Zhou was not in the office, so they stood outside and waited. After chatting for a while, Ye Zhao took the opportunity to ask, "Aunt He, do you know where my mother went?"
He Huiqiong looked at Ye Zhao and said gently, "Do you miss your mother?"
"No, I'm just curious."
"If your mom missed you, she would have come back to find you a long time ago, right? Don't get emotional with someone who abandoned you. You should study hard and live your life well.
"Aunt He, what kind of person is my mother?"
Ho Wai-king sighed, "Your mother... how should I put it, she loves literature. She has read many more books than the rest of us combined. She sings well, can play many instruments, is aloof, and charming. Both men and women like her."
It seems that her mother is a versatile and artistic young man. Ye Zhao asked again: "What is the situation at my mother's home? Do you know?"
Ho Wai-king was in a trance for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your mother... Jin Jingzhi, her grandfather and father are old and young, with some education, but they can't do anything well, and their life is very difficult. Her family is a reconstituted family, with six or seven people squeezed into a small shabby house... Your mother lived a hard life in Beijing."
"But Uncle Su said that my mother had never suffered hardship, so she couldn't stand the life here..."
"Oh, your Uncle Su has a bad memory. He might have remembered it wrongly. The one who came from a wealthy family and was spoiled since childhood was another female educated youth, not your mother."
This... is a bit forced, but it is acceptable.
"Aunt He, do you think my mother is still alive?"
He Huiqiong was startled. She stared at Ye Zhao blankly: "Why do you say that?"
"I'm not cursing my mother. Uncle Su said that my mother fled to Hong Kong with another man. Back then, people fled to Hong Kong by water. If something unexpected happened, they might be dead. Otherwise, why haven't we heard from her in all these years? Doesn't she miss me?"
Ho Wai-king touched her head and said, "People are very realistic. Once you go to Hong Kong, you won't want to come back."
"I still don't know what my mother looks like, Auntie, do you have a photo of my mother?"
"There used to be one, but I lost it when I moved. Don't think about her anymore, okay?"
Ye Zhao nodded obediently. She realized that not only her father and Uncle Su, but even Aunt He didn't like to talk about her mother.
He Huiqiang looked at her watch several times. Ye Zhao knew that she had to rush back to work, so he asked her to go first and he would wait for Teacher Zhou here.
"Can you do it alone?"
"I can."
Ho Wai-king looked at her watch again: "Okay, Auntie will go to work first. Come to our house for dinner on the weekend."
Ye Zhao smiled and neither agreed nor refused.
About ten minutes after Ho Wai-king left, the bell rang and the morning reading class was over.
A male teacher came out of Class 3 (4) with a stack of papers in his hand. He had a sullen face and looked to be in a bad mood.
The rate of admission to higher education is linked to the bonus, and Teacher Zhou has always been a hater of evil, and what he hates most is people who use backdoors, which made him even more unhappy.
"A new repeater, right?"
"Teacher Zhou, my name is Ye Zhao."
He originally wanted to ask Ye Zhao how many points she had taken the college entrance examination, and wanted to say something ruthless to her, but seeing that the female student looked well-behaved, and thinking that Teacher Zhou was kind after all, he held back.
"Go in and find a seat." After saying that, the teacher left like a gust of wind.
"Shall I find my own seat?"
So wild? The teacher didn't arrange a seat for me? Ye Zhao was confused.
It turns out that students nowadays are of the laissez-faire type, unlike her generation, where teachers and parents would take care of all the little things, no matter how small.
Ye Zhao didn't think much about it and walked directly to the classroom door. Looking inside, there were at least seventy or eighty classmates, most of them were boys, and there were about ten female classmates scattered like flowers.
The gender ratio in science classes is seriously unbalanced.
The class had just ended. Except for those going to the restroom, the students in the front row were reading books and doing papers, while the students in the back row were chatting in groups of three or four.
She stood at the door awkwardly, not knowing which seat was occupied and which was not. She could only roughly judge by whether there were books piled on the desk.
I glanced over and saw that there was no book on the table with two empty seats in the last row.
Bai Lu, who was sitting in the front row of the first group, was doing a test paper. Ever since she found out that Ye Zhao insisted on transferring to the science class, she felt a little uncomfortable and uneasy.
This morning, she was completely absent-minded and unable to concentrate. She looked at the door several times, waiting for Ye Zhao to show up. Sure enough, she came.
Bai Lu looked up and saw a girl in a light blue ruffled dress standing at the door, standing there against the light. She thought Ye Zhao would feel embarrassed, but she looked around calmly.
Bai Lu and Ye Zhao had met twice. Ye Zhao's facial features were prettier and more delicate than hers, but his aura and spirit were far inferior to hers.
She and Ye Zhao are like Snow White and Cinderella.
"Hey, is this it?" Bai Lu's deskmate Zeng Xiaoling leaned close to her ear and said, "Is it her?"
Bai Lu nodded and said "hmm". It was this girl who made Bai Lu unable to take the college entrance examination in Shenzhen. Zeng Xiaoling, Bai Lu's best friend, stood up and winked at the boys in the back rows who were looking at her.
The boy was Zeng Xiaoling's bootlicker. Zeng Xiaoling had greeted him early this morning. He immediately understood and took one of the empty seats before Ye Zhao came over.
"Fatty!" He also called out to his companions.
The fat guy who was eating instant noodles at the side quickly sat down and occupied another empty seat.
Ye Zhao glanced at the people occupying the seats. Aren’t these the skinny and fat guys who were beaten to tears by Zeng Xiang that night
The skinny monkey stretched out his hand elegantly, covering the entire table, "Someone is here."
"Skinny monkey?"
The skinny monkey was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked back: "Do you know me?"
"I don't know you." Ye Zhao shrugged. "But I saw you being severely bullied. I was deeply impressed."
Who was bullied? The skinny monkey almost got angry, but when he saw the girl in front of him, with a white face and big, blinking eyes, he looked innocent. There was no such pretty girl in the senior year (fourth) class. He was stunned for a moment, then he stammered, "What nonsense?"
"The motorcycle fell to the ground at the seventh street and third lane of Zengwuwei. I saw that you were beaten pretty badly. Are you okay? Did you go to the hospital? I almost called the police for you."
Ye Zhao pursed his lips slightly and spoke with sincerity, but in the eyes of the skinny monkey, it was just sarcastic.
How did she know this
The skinny guy and the fat guy's momentum instantly wilted, and the students who were sitting at the tables in front and behind them who were joining in the fun suddenly became interested.
Someone asked: "Shouhou, who beat you?"
"What's going on? Why didn't you come and call me if you got beaten? I'll apply medicine for you."
"Skinny monkey, you can't do this!"
The skinny monkey impatiently yelled at the boy who came over: "Get lost!"
A girl next to him asked Ye Zhao curiously: "Who beat him?"
Ye Zhao just came in and looked around but didn't see Zeng Xiang. He didn't know if he was late or went out during the break.
"I don't know them either. The skinny guy and the fat guy knelt there and begged Brother Xiang to spare their lives. Brother Xiang, spare their lives. They were so pitiful. Really so pitiful."
After hearing this, everyone immediately understood what he meant and burst into laughter. It turned out that he was beaten by Zeng Xiang. He deserved it. Why did he offend Brother Xiang when there are so many people to offend
The noise stopped abruptly. The skinny monkey, who had occupied the last desk in the second group, jumped up and moved to the side of the fat guy.
Ye Zhao thought the teacher had come, but he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure coming in through the back door. Zeng Xiang came in with a bag on his back and sat down at the seat that had just been occupied by the skinny guy with a dejected look on his face.
So embarrassing.
It turned out that there were two remaining empty seats in the class, one was occupied by the fat boy, and the other was originally occupied by the skinny guy, who turned out to be Zeng Xiang's deskmate.
All the students in the class knew that no one dared to sit at the same table with Zeng Xiang, but the new students didn’t know that.
Skinny Monkey has changed his mind. He is now waiting for Ye Zhao to hit this tough obstacle and make her bleed.
Ye Zhao was about to put her bag next to Zeng Xiang when the female classmate who had asked Ye Zhao a question hurriedly reminded her not to walk into the sea of fire: "Hey! New classmate!"
Ye Zhao turned around and looked at the girl.
The girl had short hair and was very smart. "My name is Wu Aimin."
Wu Aimin? In the original book, she is Bai Lu's good friend, a girl who is good at everything she does.
Ye Zhao smiled and greeted the other party: "I'm Ye Zhao."
Wu Aimin's heart melted at the beautiful new classmate who was well-behaved and even spoke in a bold manner. She winked at Ye Zhao and whispered, "That seat near the door is good."
Wu Aimin then shouted to Pangdun, "Pangdun, what are you doing sitting there? Make room for the new student."
Wu Aimin is a rather aggressive, overbearing and nosy person. Fatty was a little afraid of her and just wanted to stand up and give her seat, but was pushed back by Skinny.
The skinny monkey retorted to Wu Aimin: "It's none of your business."
"You're so old-fashioned!" Wu Aimin picked up the unfinished bun on the table and threw it over, but the skinny monkey dodged it with a smile.
Zeng Xiaoling couldn't stand it anymore, she came over and pulled Wu Aimin: "Don't mind your own business."
Then he whispered a few words to Wu Aimin.
Wu Aimin looked at Ye Zhao in surprise. She didn't expect that the girl looked pretty but turned out to be an immoral and ruthless person.
How can the grudges with their parents be blamed on their lovely Bai Lu
In this class, everyone loves Bailu, both men and women.
Bai Lu is gentle and modest, but most importantly, she has good grades. At the end of last semester, she ranked third in the grade and is the only pride of their senior year (fourth year) class.
Wu Aimin's good impression of Ye Zhao vanished in an instant.
Ye Zhao was confused at first, but now he understands everything.
The whole class was waiting to see her run into Zeng Xiang.
She smiled at Wu Aimin and said, "It's okay. I'll sit here."
Zeng Xiang was leaning on the table with his hands, rubbing his face to wake himself up. His stool took up some of Ye Zhao's space.
Ye Zhao walked over and pulled the stool next to her over. The stool bumped into Zeng Xiang's. She whispered, "Move over a little."
The whole class's breathing stopped.
Zeng Xiang looked up at his teacher, Crow, and thought of the little red flower he loved but could not get...
Seeing Zeng Xiang staring at her, Ye Zhao threw her schoolbag over to him without any hesitation and patted him on the back, "Move over a little."
In her tone, besides being coquettish and naive, there was even a hint of impatience.
BKing swallowed hard after being patted on the back, and the people around him didn't dare to breathe. For a tiger whose butt was touched, who knew what kind of "earth-shattering" would happen in the next second.
Zeng Xiang's eyes smoothly moved away from Ye Zhao's face, and then he moved the stool under his butt away.
The next second, the students in Class 3 (4) of Senior High School felt like the sky was falling apart and the earth was cracking.
The village bully who no one dared to mess with, who was even feared by the teachers and wanted to be expelled by the principal but had no other choice, quietly gave up half of his seat to the new classmate today!
After Ye Zhao sat down, she began to worry about how to cope with the following courses. She just wanted to take the college entrance examination. Her time was given by the system and was very precious. She didn't want to waste too much time on courses that were too simple for her.
She gently kicked Zeng Xiang, leaned over and asked quietly, "Why are you skipping school?"
She has no experience in this area, as she used to be an excellent student.
The sharp-eyed people noticed that the new student secretly kicked the boss under the desk, then slowly approached and talked to him in an ambiguous posture...
Damn! The new classmate is flirting with the boss! The key is that the boss just accepted it!
Everyone looked at each other, no one said anything, but their heads were already exploding like fireworks.
