On December 29th, Sunday, the first evening self-study class ended.
Shan Kaiquan called Jiang Ning to the small garden outside. He took out a fifty-dollar bill and handed it to Jiang Ning.
"I took the fifty from you last week. I'm returning it to you now. We're even now."
Shan Kaiquan returned home and asked for a week's living expenses. Since the New Year's Day holiday was on Wednesday and did not fall on the same day as Saturday and Sunday, he only had one day off.
For students whose homes are not in the city, they need to take buses back and forth, or even change buses, to go home. But they simply don’t bother. They take a day off on New Year’s Day and stay in school instead of going home, waiting until Friday to go back.
Jiang Ning took the money: "Okay."
Shan Kaiquan chatted with Jiang Ning for a few more words and then went out of the school.
This week, he asked his family for an extra thirty yuan on the pretext of hosting a New Year's Eve party, and now he has a lot more money on his hands.
Shan Kaiquan decided to go out and buy Bai Yuxia a box of hot milk so that she could feel his kindness.
During the last evening self-study class, Hu Jun stood on the podium and shouted:
"There are still a few students who haven't paid their New Year's Day fees. We're going to have a party this Tuesday night. Hurry up, or we won't have time to buy anything!"
…
Tuesday, December 31st.
Since the morning, the campus has been filled with a peaceful and happy atmosphere. The students have more smiles on their faces than usual and are looking forward to the evening coming soon.
From time to time, you can see some students coming in from the school gate carrying large and small bags. Most of them are boys and girls together, talking and laughing.
During the lunch break, Class 8 became lively. Class monitor Huang Zhongfei brought in a set of speakers and a singing microphone.
These were unused items in his home, so he took the initiative to provide them to the class. This way, the class wouldn't have to rent any from outside, thus saving some money.
Then, the living committee member Hu Jun came in carrying a big red plastic bag.
The bag was filled with snacks classified into different categories, mostly Alpine snacks or chocolates.
He also took out a smaller red bag, which contained many balloons and colorful confetti.
"Who wants to blow up the balloon?" Hu Jun shouted.
"I!"
"I want to come too!" Several students volunteered to come over and blow up the balloons.
"Don't forget to fill the balloon with colored paper!" Hu Jun reminded.
Then, Hu Jun took out many colorful lights from the bag. These were rented and hung on the ceiling of the classroom.
Several class leaders pulled the table and stood on it to work.
They were all busy with these things for one afternoon.
Wait until the afternoon class.
As soon as the students entered the classroom, they found that today's classroom was instantly different from usual. There were crisscrossing colored light strips above their heads, decorated with colorful balloons.
"Jiang Ning, these are so beautiful." Xue Yuantong looked up at the balloons.
"Um."
The front and back blackboards were also decorated. Next to the multimedia at the front of the classroom, there was a set of speakers. On the empty tables at the back of the classroom, there were a pile of bulging red plastic bags and several boxes.
Guo Ran, the chemistry teacher, walked into the classroom and praised the class 8 after seeing their appearance:
“That’s really good.”
A classmate said: "Then teacher, you must come to the class tonight!"
“Not only is the classroom nice, our class’s show is even better.”
Guo Ran said: "Okay, I will definitely come over when the time comes!"
The boys were even happier to have a beautiful teacher like Guo Ran supporting them, especially those who were preparing to perform, who were filled with motivation.
The whole afternoon, the school and the classroom were filled with a joyful atmosphere, and everyone was looking forward to the arrival of the evening. In this atmosphere, the afternoon classes ended.
Before the students even left the house, the student life committee member Hu Jun rushed to the podium.
"Everyone, please put away the books on the desks. The desks should be moved apart at night. When the time comes, the desks should be placed in a circle close to the wall. During the party, students can sit behind the desks to leave the middle of the classroom empty."
So under Hu Jun's command, the classmates started to move the desks, and the classroom suddenly became a mess. Halfway through the move, Hu Jun received a phone call.
Then he found Huang Zhongfei and said, "Class monitor, the cake is ready. I'll go get it. You watch the students prepare the table."
"Okay, go ahead."
Jiang Ning had moved his and Xue Yuantong's table early in the morning to a position closer to the south. There was a small gap between the table and the wall, just enough space for a stool to sit on.
After Jiang Ning finished, he was about to go out for dinner when Shao Shuangshuang sent him a message:
"Jiang Ning, the company bought a lot of snacks, small cakes and other things for the holiday. I'll bring some to you."
"Shall I take you to your class later?"
Jiang Ning replied: "No need to go into the school, just park at the intersection outside No. 4 Middle School and I'll pick it up directly when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll be there in fifteen minutes." Shao Shuangshuang didn't say much. She knew Jiang Ning's character and would not force herself to be polite.
"Xue Yuantong, are you going out for dinner?" Jiang Ning asked her.
Because they were moving tables, there was a little dust in the classroom, and Xue Yuantong's desk had been moved to a new location, so she felt uncomfortable lying down.
So she said, "Okay, I'll go out for a walk."
"The lazy buns are out of the oven." Jiang Ning said.
Xue Yuantong said: "I am very hardworking."
The two went out to buy food. Xue Yuantong said that she wanted to eat moon-shaped steamed buns. The moon-shaped steamed buns at the gate of No. 4 Middle School tasted pretty good. The filling was made of fried chicken and it was rich in spices. Paired with the steamed bun, it was very satisfying to take a bite.
In addition, Xue Yuantong bought a cup of rock sugar and snow pear soup, and a serving of baked dumplings.
Jiang Ning ate similarly to her, and the two of them sat at an open-air stall.
It was actually a bit cold that day, and many students brought their food to the classroom, so there were only a few students at the stalls.
You know, usually the stall here is packed, and if you come late, you won’t be able to get a seat at all.
This bit of cold was no problem for Jiang Ning. He casually set up a magic circle and enveloped his body in warmth.
After dinner, Shao Shuangshuang called. Jiang Ning said a few words and hung up. Shao Shuangshuang had already reached the intersection.
Jiang Ning didn't let her wait for long. He asked Xue Yuantong first:
"I'm going to the intersection to get something, would you like to join me?"
Xue Yuantong still wanted to go back to school with Jiang Ning, so she naturally didn't want to separate. So Jiang Ning took her to the crossroads.
After school in the afternoon, the streets outside were full of students eating. Jiang Ning used his spiritual sense to take a look and saw Huang Yuzhu buying braised wings at the braised food stall.
Sports committee member Zhang Chi bought a wrap at another stall and asked the owner to add more vegetables. The owner smiled and put a little more in it.
Jiang Ning continued to move forward.
A car with a cool appearance stopped at the intersection. Shao Shuangshuang had changed her car again. Compared with the previous sedan worth 800,000 yuan, this car was a coupe with the curves of a sports car. It cost her more than 2 million yuan.
So many students passing by would always look at me with a bit of envy. Some boys who know cars would even judge the price and advantages of this car in their minds, especially how many seconds it would take to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h…
Shao Shuangshuang saw Jiang Ning in the rearview mirror. She opened the car door and held a square paper box in her hand:
"Happy holidays. Inside are some small cakes, small fruits, nuts, dried meat and so on."
"You are thoughtful." Jiang Ning took the box, which was not too heavy.
He was quite satisfied with the cake. Although the cake Hu Jun bought this time was large in size, it cost 138 yuan after all, and everyone in the class could not get more than two bites.
It would be better for Jiang Ning to bring her own cake. In fact, some students would bring some extra food to the New Year’s Eve party.
"Okay, then I wish you have fun." Before leaving, Shao Shuangshuang glanced at Xue Yuantong and thought that this little girl was so delicate, like a porcelain doll.
But she felt more envious. Being able to be with Jiang Ning was enough to prove how lucky she was.
Shao Shuangshuang drove away, and Jiang Ning carried the box and walked towards the school with Xue Yuantong.
Xue Yuantong didn't think too much about it. She still remembered what the beautiful woman said just now: "cake", "dried fruit" and "dried meat".
"Jiang Ning, is there anything delicious in the box?" Xue Yuantong asked tentatively.
"Yeah, why do you want to eat?" He looked over.
"I'm just asking." Xue Yuantong's eyes wandered, "I just finished dinner and I can't eat at all."
Beef soup restaurant.
Chen Siyu had just bought some pancakes. She went into the store and found her sister's table, where Yang Sheng and Bai Yuxia were sitting.
The girls in Class Eight have their own circles. Chen Qing'e, Yu Wen, and Jiang Yanan are in one circle, a few golden flowers are in one circle, and the same is true for Chen Siyu and the others.
Chen Siyu distributed the bags in her hand to them.
The bag was filled with crispy biscuits and egg pancakes. The beef soup here tasted really good, but there were no pancakes, only steamed buns, and they were not very tasty, so they usually went out to buy pancakes.
During the meal, Chen Siyu said, "Jiang Ning's family seems to be very rich. I just saw his sister giving him something. Her sister was dressed very beautifully and had a very elegant temperament."
"He also drove a very nice car." Chen Siyu didn't know what kind of car it was, but she liked it at first sight. It was obviously much more high-end than the cars she usually saw.
Bai Yuxia put some chili pepper into the beef soup, stirred it with a spoon, and said:
"Jiang Ning's family is not poor."
Jiang Ning sat behind her, and they had more contact with each other. Sometimes when Bai Yuxia's phone ran out of battery, she would often borrow Jiang Ning's charger.
One time, when she took it to charge, the phone wouldn't charge, and she thought Jiang Ning's charger had suddenly broken. When she told Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning didn't even frown.
Apple's chargers are very expensive, which shows that he really doesn't care about the money at all.
Later, Bai Yuxia discovered that the phone’s temperature was too low and it could not be charged.
She searched online and found that it was true. When the iPhone was too cold, it could not be charged. She used a hand warmer to warm it up before charging it.
Yang Sheng said: "Jiang Ning seems to be from the town. I heard Shen Qing'e and the others talking about him last time."
Then she added: "Why bother with all this? Let's eat."
Bai Yuxia pushed the can of chili peppers to her: "Want some?"
Yang Sheng saw the red pepper inside, his eyes were horrified, and he waved his hands:
"No, no."
Bai Yuxia chuckled, revealing two shallow dimples on her face. Yang Sheng appeared to be carefree, but actually he was afraid of spicy food and alcohol, which was quite interesting.
"Do you want to dance tonight?" Chen Siyu asked.
"Yes." Bai Yuxia brought the clothes to school.
"Then you can go to my dormitory to change later, and then put on a down jacket on the outside. This way, after your performance, you don't have to go to the dormitory to change." The sister next to her, Chen Siqing, is a boarding student.
"Okay." That's exactly what Bai Yuxia thought.
"Xia Xia, you have such a great figure. The girls in the class will definitely be jealous of you this time." Chen Siyu said.
Bai Yuxia shook the spoon, still smiling:
"Aren't they jealous normally?"
…
7pm.
On the floor where Class 8 of Grade 1 is located, each class has decorated their usually monotonous classrooms in various styles to welcome the New Year. Before the party even begins, faint sounds of music can be heard from each class.
In Class 8, all the desks and chairs that originally filled the classroom were moved to the east, south and north directions of the classroom.
The students sat against the wall, looking at the open space in the middle across the tables.
The hosts of the New Year's Eve party were the art committee member Shen Qing'e and the study committee member Dong Qingfeng. Today, one of them was handsome and the other was beautiful, which opened the eyes of the students around them.
Class monitor Huang Zhongfei and life committee member Hu Jun held bags and distributed snacks to everyone one by one.
Melon seeds, spiced peanuts, candy, chocolate, biscuits, and a bottle of Wangzai.
They had already spent a lot of money on decorating the classroom, and then bought a big cake, and were able to share these things, so it was already the maximum they could save.
After Huang Zhongfei distributed the things, he sat in an inconspicuous position like other students.
The event continued to be hosted by Dong Qingfeng and Shen Qing'e.
"Dear classmates!" Dong Qingfeng.
"Everyone." Shen Qing'e.
"Good evening!" They said in unison, in perfect harmony.
Guo Kunnan in the back row looked at this scene and felt a little uncomfortable. How come these two people were so well-matched? He had been eyeing Chen Qing'e since the beginning of the school year. Although he had never pursued her, he still had some thoughts in his mind.
At this moment, it seems awkward no matter how I look at it!
Guo Kunnan wanted to hear what Shan Kaiquan thought, so he turned around and saw Shan Kaiquan staring at Bai Yuxia. He followed Shan Kaiquan's gaze.
Bai Yuxia wore a mid-length down jacket, revealing a part of her calves covered with white socks. On the pure white socks, there was a red bow embroidered, as if to draw people's attention to it.
Looks good, Bai Yuxia looks good... Guo Kunnan had this thought, and then he quickly looked away, silently saying:
'Don't look at anything indecent.'
She is my brother's target, and I would be guilty if I looked at her for even a second.
'I can't let Kaiquan down.'
In the middle of the classroom, Dong Qingfeng and Shen Qing'e exchanged a few polite words about holiday congratulations. Then Shen Qing'e glanced at the list in her hand and announced:
"Next, let's welcome Wu Xiaoqi to perform 'Basketball Dance'!"
Shen Qing'e complained in her heart, what a name, she always didn't like it, but Wu Xiaoqi insisted on the name of the program, she respected him and did not change it.
"Please welcome Wu Xiaoqi to come on stage!"
"Everyone applaud!"
"Pa la pa la pa la!" Although Wu Xiaoqi is usually disliked by everyone, today is New Year's Day, which is a happy day. As he is the first performer in the class, everyone still welcomes him.
Especially Ma Shicheng and others in the back row, they clapped very enthusiastically.
Amid the applause of the crowd, Wu Xiaoqi took off his outer coat, revealing his basketball vest and shorts, which stunned Song Sheng next to him. Is he a ruthless guy
He has so much fat on his body that he doesn't even dare to do that!
The prelude of music sounded, and Wu Xiaoqi walked to the middle of the classroom with a soothing rhythm.
Dong Qingfeng and Shen Qing'e stepped aside and gave him the home court.
At this moment, all the students in the class were staring at him intently, expecting him to serve as the prelude and ignite today's party.
In the classroom, the music coming from the speakers still has a soothing rhythm. It is a six-minute song that Wu Xiaoqi chose himself.
Wu Xiaoqi threw the basketball to the ground. The basketball bounced gently at his feet. His face was full of pride and his eyes looked down on the world.
When the jumping basketball stopped and lay quietly at his feet, he stepped on the basketball with one foot, as if he was stepping on a piece of land.
He faced everyone and spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful, spreading throughout the class:
“Now standing before you is:
In 2009, he won the champion and MVP of the Yuzhou Daqing Primary School Summer Basketball Tournament, the champion and MVP of the Chengnan Thirteen Primary School Basketball League, and the most entertaining player in the league;
2010, Yuzhou Railway Middle School, champion, MVP and best pitcher of the first grade winter basketball game;
2011, Yuzhou Railway Middle School, junior high school joint basketball game champion and MVP, the youngest player in the competition;
In 2012, Yuzhou Chengnan Junior High School Basketball League, runner-up in the Spring Festival Tournament!
Student Wu Xiaoqi!"
After a long self-introduction, Wu Xiaoqi glanced at all the students and finally stopped at Shan Xiao, who nodded indifferently.
At this time, the classmates looked at Wu Xiaoqi blankly, with their mouths slightly open, and the only thought in their hearts was "What the hell?"
Ma Shicheng has become stupid, how can this continue
Shen Qing'e was convinced. Wu Xiaoqi, you are just performing a show at the New Year's Eve party. Is it worth taking it so seriously
"Ahem." She signaled Wu Xiaoqi not to waste any more time.
Wu Xiaoqi didn't take it seriously. He stepped on the basketball and lightly kicked it up, and the basketball flew into his hands.
"Music, start!"
He shook his body gracefully. Obviously, no one was controlling the speakers, but the song on the speakers changed instantly, and the rhythm changed, making everyone a little confused.
what is going on
In the audience, Cui Yu asked Ma Shicheng in confusion.
Ma Shicheng thought for only a second, then said, "Wu Xiaoqi used the speaker connected to his phone, and he turned on the function of shaking the phone to change songs!"
The students next to him suddenly realized.
After Wu Xiaoqi finished pretending, he took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and handed it to Shen Qing'e.
The music became more and more urgent. Wu Xiaoqi jumped up and slammed the basketball, which made it beat "bang bang bang" to the rhythm of the music.
The basketball moves with the rhythm, and Wu Xiaoqi's body moves with the basketball.
Bounce the ball left and right, dribble between the legs, move the basketball across the shoulders, a series of fancy moves.
When the music reaches its climax, "Hey! Hey! Groove!", "Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Wu Xiaoqi threw the basketball suddenly, and the ball drew a curve and landed in the hands of Shan Xiao in the audience.
Wu Xiaoqi is now without the ball, and he is about to start performing street dance.
The more Guo Kunnan listened to the song, the more familiar it sounded. He suddenly asked in surprise, "Isn't this the theme song of the 1998 World Cup?"
“Why would he play this song while playing basketball?”
Ma Shicheng said: "Maybe he wants to tell us that there is no end to sports?"
Wu Xiaoqi's street dance is elegant and charming, and his every move reveals artistry. Some girls couldn't help but turn their heads away, unable to bear to watch.
"It's better to let him play basketball." said Shan Kaiquan.
Finally, the song ended and Wu Xiaoqi's show came to an end.
Wu Xiaoqi returned to the audience wearing his basketball vest and shorts.
Shen Qing'e came up with the microphone and said, "Wu Xiaoqi's program is very, very good."
For a moment, Shen Qing'e didn't know how to describe it. Finally, she said:
"Student Wu Xiaoqi's program is very unique."
"Then, next, please welcome Ma Shicheng to perform 'Cousin's Martial Arts'. Please welcome him with applause!"
"Brother Ma is so awesome!" Wang Longlong shouted.
"Brother Ma is magnificent!"
Under the gaze of his classmates, Ma Shicheng walked from the audience to the center of the classroom. He was wearing performance pants that he bought online for 19.9 yuan with free shipping.
He recalled the time when he watched his cousin practice martial arts, so he loosened his belt.
The pants were too tight, making it difficult for him to perform.
After adjusting himself, Ma Shicheng looked around and thought about the various scenes since the start of the school year. He had never received so much attention as he did today.
Although he was unruly in the past, that was only among a few classmates, not today when he was being stared at by dozens of eyes.
Ma Shicheng somersaulted twice, then he shouted:
"Sword!"
From the south side of the classroom, a wooden sword flew across the air and Ma Shicheng grabbed the hilt.
He gave Jiang Ning a friendly look, which he had agreed with Jiang Ning in advance.
Ma Shicheng began to dance with the sword, "Swish, swish, swish!"
He was very methodical and danced in a very good manner, which actually looked quite good. You could tell he had some basic skills.
Shen Qing'e breathed a sigh of relief. The second program was finally normal!
However, when Ma Shicheng was halfway through his dance, someone in the audience suddenly shouted:
"Who are you, a monster? You are just showing off your skills in killing insects. Take this from me, Old Sun!"
Wang Longlong was climbing over the table holding a big stick. Halfway through, he accidentally tripped and almost fell. After a few staggers, he almost crawled to Ma Shicheng.
Wang Longlong held a stick and fought with Ma Shicheng, "Pangli, bang!" The scene was very chaotic with the shadows of sticks and flashes of swords!
The classmates were stunned.
Huang Zhongfei stood up suddenly: "Stop fighting!"
Wang Longlong stopped and scratched his head: "This is the reserved program that Brother Ma agreed to in advance."
Huang Zhongfei: …
He took a deep breath and said, "The show is great, I'll be on stage next."
Ma Shicheng ended up feeling unsatisfied.
Shen Qing'e looked at Huang Zhongfei, did she mean to move his show to the front? Huang Zhongfei's show was to be the finale.
Huang Zhongfei nodded. He was helpless now. The first two programs were too chaotic and confused him. He had to stand up in advance and restore the integrity of the New Year's Day party.
Shen Qing'e understood, and she said, "Next, let's welcome Huang Zhongfei to play the guitar solo!"
Huang Zhongfei unpacked the bag he was carrying, put on his guitar, carried two stools, and walked to the middle of the classroom.
He put the stools down, one horizontally underneath and one upright on top, thus creating an effect similar to that of a high stool.
Huang Zhongfei sat on it. He was tall and thin, with a handsome face.
The white casual pants set off his figure, and the ribbon on his head reflected his youthfulness.
Regardless of gender, everyone admitted at this moment that Huang Zhongfei was really handsome.
He tried the sound and plucked the guitar, and a pleasant sound came out. When the prelude ended, Huang Zhongfei hummed softly, which complemented the sound of the guitar.
The only sounds in the classroom were the guitar and Huang Zhongfei's voice.
Some girls took out their phones and started taking pictures of him, and even some boys followed suit.
Miao Zhe, who was sitting in the north of the classroom, took a few photos of Huang Zhongfei. He switched back to the chat page. The latest message was from his online girlfriend Yun Ni:
"Yunshu, are you going to perform at the New Year's Eve party?"
“I’m looking forward to your performance!”
Miao Zhe actually didn't perform any show. At this moment, he was looking at Huang Zhongfei's current appearance and then at the photo he had just taken. He was so handsome. It would be great if he was that handsome.
How he wanted to send Huang Zhongfei's photo to Yun Ni and tell her:
“This is me!”
But Miao Zhe still hesitated. He knew that if he expressed his feelings, Yun Ni might love him even more strongly, but that kind of love would be deformed and not the love he wanted!
So Miao Zhe replied: "I am the host today and I am busy with the performance. I am very busy. I will still take the time to reply to you now."
"Wow, Yunshu, you're amazing. The host position is for the better boys in the class. You must be very good, right?"
Miao Zhe replied: "It's just so-so, it's OK."
"Then you must have a matching female host, is she pretty?" Yun Ni asked.
Miao Zhe smelled a hint of jealousy and said, "It's okay. I won't even look at her. In my heart, Yun Ni, you are the most beautiful!"
"Oh, you're so annoying."
Miao Zhe: "Hehehe, do you like it?"
While Miao Zhe was chatting, Huang Zhongfei's performance quickly ended and the class burst into thunderous applause.
"Squad leader, you are so handsome!"
"So handsome!"
Wu Xiaoqi was holding a basketball and Ma Shicheng was holding a wooden sword, sitting alone in the audience.
The two men witnessed those crazy girls and felt a little indignant. Their show was obviously the best, but it was not as popular as Huang Zhongfei.
Isn’t it just handsome
What’s so great about that!
When Huang Zhongfei finished his song, he held his guitar and looked at the class atmosphere that had turned around again, with a smile on his face.
Fortunately, the New Year’s Eve party was brought back to normal level, so even if the teachers came to watch later, they wouldn’t think that their class was made up of monsters.
Huang Zhongfei finished speaking, and Shen Qing'e came up and said:
"Next, please welcome Bai Yuxia!"
Bai Yuxia stood up, took off her down jacket, and walked to the center of the classroom.
The little dress, white stockings, and black leather shoes complemented her elegant posture, making her look like a white swan.
Shan Kaiquan pinched Guo Kunnan: "Brother Nan, Brother Nan, look, look!"
He was so excited, as if the person coming on stage was his girlfriend!
"Why are you pinching me?"
“I’m watching!”
Bai Yuxia has learned to dance since she was a child. She has excellent body flexibility, light dance steps, beautiful and elegant posture, smooth movements and great beauty.
If Huang Zhongfei is handsome in a static way, then Bai Yuxia is beautiful in a dynamic way.
Shan Kaiquan stared at Bai Yuxia without blinking, until his eyes were sore from staring.
She is not human!
She is a fairy!
"It's so beautiful!" Shan Kaiquan could hardly suppress the love in his heart!
After Bai Yuxia finished her performance, she bowed slightly, smiled sweetly, and walked off the stage. The boys around her stared at her with their eyes wide open.
Shan Kaiquan screamed in his heart: "Confess, confess, Bai Yuxia is too pretty, in order to not be beaten to it by others, I must take the initiative!"
"I'll confess my feelings tonight when I get home!"
