In the morning, in the second exam, Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong handed in their papers early again in the last half hour.
Chen Qian, who was sitting at the last seat in examination room No. 1, looked at the two men's backs with complicated eyes.
During the break after the last exam, in order to analyze badminton, Chen Qian explained a bunch of theories and laid the groundwork for a long time. However, after he came on the court, he was defeated by Jiang Ning with just a few balls.
Recalling that embarrassing scene, Chen Qian felt extremely regretful:
"If I had done the math faster, how good would it have been?"
'If I count fast enough, I can calculate where the badminton will land.'
"Then, pierce the stars with one strike!"
He defeated Jiang Ning and gained countless honors, making everyone look at him with admiration and shout his name Chen Qian.
Shocked the entire No. 4 Middle School.
This is how he felt in his heart.
However, there are always regrets and remorse in life. Chen Qian thought of Yang Sheng's teasing, the strange looks of Bai Yuxia and Dong Qingfeng, Jiang Ning's indifference, and Xue Yuantong's indifference.
He thought of the reactions of passers-by who ignored him, the towering school building, and the sun hanging high in the sky...
All the failures came down to the fact that he was not fast enough.
He, Chen Qian, is definitely not a man of that level!
If I, Chen Qian, take action, the sun and the moon will lose their light.
Chen Qian stared at the test paper and suddenly started writing quickly. Since he lost to Jiang Ning in badminton, it didn’t matter. He would regain his lost confidence in other fields.
For example, grades.
This time, he will definitely not lose again!
What he lost, he would personally take back.
He will defeat Yang Sheng and Jiang Ning one by one.
And there is Bai Yuxia who was taken away by Xue Yuantong.
Just wait.
…
After Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong handed in their papers, they did not stay in the corridor, but went down the stairs and headed towards the carport.
Xue Yuantong crossed his arms and said arrogantly:
"You're coming home so early? Aren't you going to fight me for another 300 rounds?"
Her physical condition has never been as good as it is now. Xue Yuantong even feels that she can play badminton for eighteen hours straight without any rest.
Beat Jiang Ning until he surrenders and make her famous as Xue Yuantong.
Jiang Ning said: "Forget it."
He went into the carport.
Inside the bicycle shed, Qi Tianheng, Zhao Xiaofeng, and two other boys each picked a bicycle and sat on it.
When they saw Jiang Ning coming, they immediately looked at him with indifference. How to describe this look? Numb, ruthless, and cold-blooded.
Four boys looked at me at the same time.
If it were other students, facing this kind of scene, they might feel terrified and not dare to look at them, or even turn around and leave quickly.
However, Jiang Ning looked at them calmly, and in front of them, he pushed his mountain bike out of the carport, while Xue Yuantong followed behind him like a little tail.
After they walked away, Zhao Xiaofeng took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, handed one to Qi Tianheng first, and then shared it with the other two boys.
"Brother Tian, this guy is quite something. He handed in his paper early and still did so well in the exam." Zhao Xiaofeng took a sip:
"And he's not afraid of us at all."
Another student followed up and said, "Yes, he is not afraid of us."
The last boy said like a repeater: "Not afraid of us."
Qi Tianheng retracted his gaze from Jiang Ning, holding the cigarette between his fingers, and said sarcastically:
"He thinks he's quite capable, but he doesn't know how high the sky is or how deep the earth is."
He spoke in a light tone. He had previously smashed Yang Sheng's mountain bike, and then Jiang Ning came to his house and captured him on the spot.
At that time, Qi Tianheng regarded it as a humiliation and was furious. He swore revenge and made Jiang Ning pay the price.
Later, because Zhang Chi stole his breakfast and sent him a text message asking him to order food, Qi Tianheng was driven crazy by the joke and shifted his target from Jiang Ning.
A boy next to him said arrogantly: "What's the point of knowing a few tricks? He's such a show-off. I'll beat him up with a bunch of tortoise shells and make him kneel down and beg for mercy."
"People who only know a little bit of Kung Fu are just lame!"
Originally his words tended to belittle Jiang Ning, but the more Qi Tianheng listened, the darker his face became.
Qi Tianheng had practiced martial arts before. Last time, when he found out that his breakfast was stolen by Zhang Chi from Class 8, he went to the boys' dormitory to settle the score with Zhang Chi, relying on his experience in Sanda. As a result, he was beaten up by Zhang Chi.
I went home and rested for several days before the bruises on my face disappeared.
Now hearing what his classmates said, his eyes immediately became unfriendly and he stared at the boy.
'Fuck, are you belittling me?'
Zhao Xiaofeng could read people's expressions and was startled. He immediately understood the reason.
He slapped the classmate on the head and winked at him to stop talking.
Then, in order to ease the atmosphere and save Qi Tianheng's face, Zhao Xiaofeng said:
"Zhang Chi is not an ordinary person. He has a good sports background and good physical fitness."
In order to make Qi Tianheng's failure seem justifiable, he began to praise Zhang Chi.
The boy next to him reacted quickly, knowing that Qi Tianheng was unhappy just now, he quickly said:
"Zhang Chi is really strong. Last time on the playground, I saw Zhang Chi doing push-ups with one hand, and he did more than twenty of them."
"It's really great!" The boy gave a thumbs up.
The last boy boasted, "Last time I was outside the school, I saw Zhang Chi fighting with someone. He was so powerful that he fought for more than 70 minutes in one go. After that, he climbed over the wall into the school and ran around the playground for more than 30 laps!"
"You can't generalize people's physiques."
The three of them kept praising Zhang Chi, as if he were a god of war.
Finally, Zhao Xiaofeng concluded: "Zhang Chi's strength is very impressive. In the entire Fourth Middle School, no, in the entire Yuzhou, I think only Brother Tian can be slightly better than him."
Several people were praising him to the skies. Anyone with a bit of common sense knew that they were just flattering him, which was disgusting to hear. However, Qi Tianheng, who was being flattered, felt extremely comfortable.
No matter whether what they said was true or not, they were praising him!
Comfortable and refreshing!
Qi Tianheng couldn't help but feel elated. He said:
"Brothers, it's almost time, let's have some fun with Zhang Chi."
The feud between him and Zhang Chi has been going on for about a month. He had been behaving himself till then, so Zhang Chi probably thought he had forgotten about it.
He did not forget that he had delayed it until now because of various considerations in order to avoid alerting the enemy.
Thinking of that humiliation, Qi Tianheng was extremely angry, with a venomous look flashing in his eyes.
A boy laughed: "I guess Brother Tian won't let him go. As the saying goes, a biting dog doesn't bark!"
Zhao Xiaofeng had a strange look on his face, and then he slapped the boy on the top of his head:
"If you can't speak, don't speak."
…
Second floor, examination room.
Shan Kaiquan had just finished the questions. He crossed his legs and looked at the students around him sarcastically.
While his classmates were still busy doing their homework, Shan Kaiquan was extremely proud as he had already finished the test paper with ease.
At this moment, he actually had a feeling of being the king of the world. Shan Kaiquan whispered:
"Why hasn't everyone finished yet? I'm getting sleepy."
He felt superior to the students around him. After all, for the next exam, he would be taking it in several examination rooms on the first floor.
And the students in this examination room will be left behind by him!
I can no longer catch up with his pace.
In the examination room, no one had handed in their paper yet. Shan Kaiquan raised his hand to indicate that he had handed in his paper.
After the teacher agreed, he walked out of the examination room with an arrogant step and great disdain.
When he went downstairs, took out his cell phone and checked the time, he realized he had come out too early.
He had an appointment with Ma Shicheng, Guo Kunnan and Yan Tianpeng to eat braised chicken, and there were still five minutes left before the agreed time.
'Why don't you go to the store and wait?'
While Shan Kaiquan was thinking about it, he suddenly saw two figures, one tall and one short, coming down the stairs.
The shorter one is Guo Kunnan. He is actually not short, he is 178cm tall, but he looks small when standing next to Yan Tianpeng, who is over 190cm tall and looks like a bear.
When the two went downstairs, Shan Kaiquan also saw Zhang Chi from their class following Yan Tianpeng.
Shan Kaiquan was surprised: "What are you doing?"
Guo Kunnan explained: "Tianpeng invited Zhang Chi to eat braised chicken."
Hearing this, Shan Kaiquan didn't quite believe it. Although Yan Tianpeng was big in stature, in terms of stinginess, he was definitely the most stingy person Shan Kaiquan had ever seen.
Zhang Chi was all smiles. He let Tianpeng cheat on him during the exam, and now he was getting a free meal. It was what he deserved.
They waited for another minute and Ma Shicheng came out.
"Let's go quickly, otherwise there will be too many people in the store later." Shan Kaiquan urged. They handed in their papers in advance and there were not many students at the moment, otherwise they would not be able to get a seat when there were too many people in the store.
Several people walked towards the school gate together, and halfway there, they met Lu Qiqi from the same class.
As soon as Yan Tianpeng saw his sweetheart, he quickly went up to her and started a conversation:
"Qiqi, have you finished the exam?"
"Yes." Lu Qiqi's grades were relatively poor. She could not answer many questions in today's test. After finishing the test hurriedly, she handed in the paper early and returned to her rented house.
Yan Tianpeng looked at Lu Qiqi and invited her, "Qiqi, I'll take you to eat braised chicken to nourish you."
Lu Qiqi's eyes turned and she said hesitantly:
"I don't have any money, what should I do?"
Yan Tianpeng taught her: "Look at you, you are so careless. Then I can only go and eat by myself first."
After saying that, Yan Tianpeng and Shan Kaiquan left together.
Lu Qiqi stayed where she was. Is this guy mentally ill
…
Zhang Chi had just noticed the conversation between the two. He was also worried that Yan Tianpeng might invite Lu Qiqi to dinner but would not have enough money to treat him.
Now he gave up the idea and walked a distance away. Zhang Chi praised him:
"Brother Peng, you are such a brother!"
He felt sad that she actually abandoned the woman for her brother.
Yan Tianpeng smiled generously: "I am the most loyal person."
Zhang Chi echoed and praised a few words.
Ma Shicheng was playing with his cell phone.
Arriving at the braised chicken restaurant, Shan Kaiquan pushed open the door, looked around, and found Jiang Ning, and Xue Yuantong sitting opposite Jiang Ning.
"Jiang Ning, why are you handing in your paper so early?" Shan Kaiquan inquired. In his impression, shouldn't a good student hand in his paper after the exam is over
Jiang Ning said, "I've already finished writing it. It's boring to stay here."
After listening to this, Shan Kaiquan asked again: "I haven't seen you guys eating at the school gate for a long time."
"I'm too lazy to go home and cook." Actually, Xue Yuantong had been playing badminton and had exhausted his energy. He was hungry and didn't want to wait until he got home to eat, so he just ate outside.
Xue Yuantong opened the Coke can and drank happily.
Shan Kaiquan didn't say much. When he saw the large portions of braised chicken on Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong's table, he felt a little envious. He wasn't envious of the large portions of braised chicken, but of the fact that two people could share one portion.
For example, when he comes here, he can only order a small portion for 16 yuan.
"It will be soon, soon. After the exams and the sports meet, I will be worthy of Bai Yuxia, and then I will confess my love to her." Shan Kaiquan encouraged himself. By that time, they could go out to eat together.
Ma Shicheng also greeted them, then he went to the front desk and ordered a braised chicken and a bottle of green tea.
There were five of them in their group, but the table in the restaurant was for four people. After considering it, Ma Shicheng walked towards the empty table next to him.
He took the initiative and said, "You guys take a seat, I'll go over here."
Shan Kaiquan and Guo Kunnan glanced at Zhang Chi. They had made an appointment with four people before, and Zhang Chi was an extra person, so how could they let Ma Ge sit alone
However, Zhang Chi just played dumb after hearing this.
Shan Kaiquan and Guo Kunnan were a little unhappy. They had asked Ma Shicheng for help, especially Guo Kunnan, who was very kind to Ma.
After the two of them ordered their food, they simply went to Ma Shicheng's table.
Zhang Chi still didn't think it was wrong. He pulled Yan Tianpeng and said:
"Brother Peng, you said you would treat me."
Yan Tianpeng patted his belly and said, "Don't worry, I'll treat you right away."
He and Zhang Chi went to the counter and shouted, "Boss, one serving of braised chicken."
Zhang Chi felt that something was wrong. He said he would treat himself, so shouldn’t there be two portions
Could it be that... he wants to buy a large portion
I just heard the middle-aged uncle boss ask: "Big or small portion?"
Yan Tianpeng: "Small portion."
Zhang Chi immediately reminded: "Brother Peng, the small portion is not enough!"
Yan Tianpeng's face straightened: "Why isn't there enough food?"
"Give me two bowls of rice," he said again.
Zhang Chi cursed in his heart. He let Yan Tianpeng copy the test paper, but this guy couldn't even afford to treat him to a serving of braised chicken.
But it was okay to be able to get a few pieces of meat, so Zhang Chi didn't leave on the spot.
Yan Tianpeng opened the freezer and took out another bottle of Sprite. This kind of Sprite was in a glass bottle and was cheaper.
After ordering the food, Yan Tianpeng and Zhang Chi occupied a table for two.
Shan Kaiquan signaled to Guo Kunnan and Ma Shicheng with his eyes, with an expression of 'convinced' on his face.
What a talent!
The store regained its brief tranquility.
Xue Yuantong whispered:
"Jiang Ning, you have an exam tomorrow and the day after tomorrow is Qingming Festival. Can you please not go out and do anything?"
Last weekend, she waited for Jiang Ning at home for a whole day, but in the end he didn't come back. Xue Yuantong had a bad day.
Jiang Ning thought for a moment and decided that many affairs of Huqi Mountain could be handed over to Shao Shuangshuang. Only the key spiritual fields would be managed by him personally.
He nodded: "Not going out."
Hearing this, Xue Yuantong became happy: "It's settled. Let's go to the small grassland in Heba to play during Qingming Festival. I'll ask Chuchu to come over."
"Yes, sure."
Looks like they're going camping.
Jiang Ning thought of the rabbit he encountered last time he went to Huqi Mountain. Now it has been a while since he released the rabbit, so it is a good opportunity to catch it and stew it.
Shan Kaiquan and Ma Shicheng's meals were ready one after another.
Yan Tianpeng's side was even more interesting. He and Zhang Chi, two big men, looked somewhat pitiful after eating a small portion of braised chicken.
Yan Tianpeng opened the glass bottle, inserted a straw into it, and started drinking Sprite.
Zhang Chi was anxious. He also wanted to drink Sprite, so he went to the front to get a straw and came over with a smile on his face:
"Brother Peng, can you let me drink some?"
After saying that, Zhang Chi poked the straw into the Sprite bottle and put his head in.
"Drink slower!"
Yan Tianpeng saw the water level of the Sprite in the bottle dropping rapidly.
He couldn't wait any longer, so he immediately leaned his head over and put his head against Zhang Chi's. They each bit a straw and drank from the same bottle of Sprite.
Shan Kaiquan, Ma Shicheng and Guo Kunnan were all stunned.
I have the impression that only couples drink drinks like this, right
Soon, they finished a bottle of Sprite. As there was still some liquid left at the bottom of the glass bottle, the two of them sucked it up more vigorously, making a "chi chi lu lu" sound.
Even the boss at the counter couldn't stand it anymore and covered his eyes to hold back his laughter.
If he hadn't been concerned about their self-esteem, he would have even planned to give them another bottle of drink.
Outside the store.
Zhao Xiaofeng, wearing loafers, pushed open the glass door first and let Qi Tianheng go in first.
There are many benefits to following Qi Tianheng.
For example, when they go out to eat, Qi Tianheng usually pays for everything, and it's not just a basic treat. Qi Tianheng is very generous and will pay for everything, whether it's adding extra dishes or buying drinks.
This is why Zhao Xiaofeng is dedicated to protecting Qi Tianheng. As long as the person he offends is not a top student or a rich and powerful student, Zhao Xiaofeng never hesitates.
God knows how long he has to stay in the sun or do farm work to be able to afford a braised chicken.
As soon as Zhao Xiaofeng entered the room, he saw Zhang Chi and Yan Tianpeng, who was like a bear.
"What the hell are they doing?"
When he saw it for the first time, he almost thought that the two of them were kissing each other. Zhao Xiaofeng was shocked.
After a closer look, I realized that the two were drinking drinks.
Do they have such a good relationship
Qi Tianheng had a gloomy expression. If Yan Tianpeng and Zhang Chi were in the same group, it would be much more troublesome to deal with them.
No matter how much you think, you still have to eat.
Qi Tianheng said: "A large portion of braised chicken, vegetarian dishes with kelp, bean sprouts, and bean curd sticks, and meat dishes with fish, tofu, sausage, fried eggs, and a bottle of Fanta."
The long list of side dishes alarmed the customers in the store. Braised chicken with yellow sauce is not cheap. Even the most basic vegetarian dish costs two yuan per serving.
Zhang Chi really wanted to eat it after hearing this. He only managed to eat two pieces of the braised chicken just now!
After Qi Tianheng finished ordering, he said to Zhao Xiaofeng, "Would you like the same order as mine, or just something else?"
A meal means nothing to him. What matters most is that Zhao Xiaofeng plays with him and makes him happy.
Zhao Xiaofeng was not picky. He said, "Let me do the same as you."
Qi Tianheng took out a hundred-dollar bill and handed it to the boss.
The boss did the math and said, "The total is 81. I'll round it off for you, so just charge 80. In addition, I'll give you two boxes of black tea."
He got back twenty dollars.
Qi Tianheng didn't take it. He motioned to Zhao Xiaofeng: "Take it. You can buy cigarettes later."
After ordering the food, Zhao Xiaofeng found a seat.
Zhang Chi looked at his attentive appearance and cursed in his heart:
'Good dog!'
After cursing, he thought again, I wish I could be a dog.
Shan Kaiquan and others withdrew their complicated looks. Although they were envious, they had dignity and would not humble themselves for a meal.
In order to calm down, Shan Kaiquan opened his QQ and checked his space. Suddenly, he saw a space notification and almost flew away with excitement.
He suppressed his excitement and said in an almost hoarse voice:
"Brother Ma, Brother Nan, I posted a message yesterday and Bai Yuxia actually liked it!
!”
It was the first time that Shan Kaiquan received a like from Bai Yuxia. He was so happy. Bai Yuxia liked his post, which was a recognition of him!
He was extremely excited and asked the two people:
"What do you think this means?"
Guo Kunnan didn't say anything. He felt that a single like was nothing special and not worth being happy about. Maybe his hand slipped. He thought Shan Kaiquan was making a fuss out of nothing.
It is obvious that his mentality is not stable enough. Unlike him, his state of mind has now entered a flawless state and is completely perfect.
Nothing in the world can cause his mood to fluctuate.
Ma Shicheng drank a sip of green tea and said leisurely:
"What does it mean? It means you are interested in Bai Yuxia."
The three of them were chatting here.
Qi Tianheng's food came up.
Zhao Xiaofeng saw that Brother Tian's face looked unhappy. He guessed that it was probably because Brother Tian saw that Zhang Chi and Yan Tianpeng had a good relationship.
In order to restore morale, Zhao Xiaofeng picked up a piece of kelp from the still boiling casserole and threw it into his mouth.
He underestimated the temperature of the casserole. The small piece of kelp was so hot that he almost smoked.
But he can't spit it out!
Zhao Xiaofeng noticed out of the corner of his eye that Zhang Chi was looking over here.
His face was horrified from the burns, and he growled:
"What the hell, it's not as good as the food in prison!"
When Zhang Chi heard this, his expression suddenly changed.
"Has this guy been in there before?"
Don't blame him for thinking that.
…
Jiang Ning sat on a chair, facing Xue Yuantong.
He asked, "Have you finished eating?"
Xue Yuantong held the can of Coke, but was reluctant to drink it.
"I'm done eating," she said. "All I have left is the Coke."
"Well, after drinking, let's go home." Jiang Ning planned to go back to the bungalow on the river dam and bask in the sun at the door.
Xue Yuantong: "What's the hurry?"
Jiang Ning looked at her and said, "Are you too full to drink?"
I let her eat most of the dish and also had half a bowl of rice.
Xue Yuantong was not happy. She touched the Coke can:
"Can't you see I'm trying to soothe it? I'll drink after it calms down."
