In the afternoon, the sports meeting came to a temporary end.
Tonight, everyone from the first to the third year of high school stayed in school for evening self-study.
So, Jiang Ning didn't go home for dinner.
He called Xue Yuantong, who was in the office, and said that she was not hungry at all and did not need to bring any food, and allowed Jiang Ning to move freely.
That's right, from Jiang Ning's spiritual monitoring, Xue Yuantong had been eating snacks for half a day.
"Teacher, let's go." Jiang Ning said.
He and Guo Ran had agreed in advance that he would treat everyone tonight.
"Don't we need to move these things?" Guo Ran pointed at the tables, chairs, benches and water dispenser at Class 8's base.
Hu Jun, the student life committee member, started shouting, "Teachers, you guys go first. Jiang Ning is an athlete in our class and has made great contributions to the class. Why should he do these little chores?"
"Leave these little things to us!"
Hu Jun called on his classmates to work.
The students on the playground evacuated outside one by one.
As dusk approached, the setting sun shone on the lawn, and people were immersed in it. Some were carrying stools, some were lifting tables, and students were talking in twos and threes, creating a scene of an end.
However, everyone knows that this is just a short separation, and tomorrow, there will be the final events of the school sports meet.
Jiang Ning walked in the afterglow of the setting sun, his body dyed golden.
Guo Ran was walking with him. She looked at this scene from afar and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.
When I was there before, I didn’t feel anything special. But when I saw such a scene again many years later, I had a completely different feeling.
Wasn't she one of the participants in previous sports meets
Guo Ran sighed and said with emotion:
"very nice."
How great would it be if we could have a chance to start over in life
It was this inexplicable feeling that made her cooperate with Jiang Ning in playing a game.
I managed to regain some of the carefree days of my student days.
Jiang Ning noticed her strangeness and smiled: "Teacher, are you thinking about the past?"
Guo Ran said frankly: "Yes, I really envy you. I tell you, you must cherish your time in school. This may be the happiest period of your life."
Jiang Ning: "As I've gotten older, I've become more argumentative."
After hearing this, Guo Ran really wanted to pinch him.
She was about to enter the teacher's state, ready to teach Jiang Ning, hoping that he would listen, but in the end, he actually said this!
She was left in a state of confusion and felt unsatisfied.
…
They had dinner at a restaurant. The owner and his wife were very nice people. Whenever it rained, Jiang Ning would bring Xue Yuantong here to eat.
At this time, there was only one table of customers in the store.
The proprietress greeted him warmly. She was quite familiar with old customers like Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning found a table in the corner and sat down: "Boss, what dishes do you recommend today?"
The lady boss introduced: "Try our pickled fish. We make the pickled cabbage ourselves. It is authentic and clean. I guarantee it is different from the ones sold outside."
Jiang Ning nodded: "I know that many manufacturers' pickled cabbage is very dirty."
The lady boss started talking: "Yes, they make a lot of pickled cabbage at a time, and the workers step on it with their shoes. If you see the production environment, I guarantee you won't be able to eat it."
After chatting for a while, the lady boss said: "Our pickled fish is a bit expensive, 38 per serving, but I guarantee you will eat it with peace of mind."
The reason why she recommended this dish was because she knew that Jiang Ning was not short of money.
For other students, a meal would cost at most a dozen yuan.
Jiang Ning said, "One serving of pickled fish, one serving of green pepper fried egg, and three yuan of unpasteurized bread."
The proprietress heard this and said, "Okay, I'll give you another bowl of mung bean soup."
They are regular customers and the proprietress knows how to do business.
Guo Ran looked at Jiang Ning's skillful posture in ordering food and realized that he must have ordered here many times.
While waiting for the meal, students started to come into the store, and the number of customers gradually increased.
The mung bean soup was served first. Guo Ran was a little thirsty and drank half the bowl in one gulp.
Guo Ran slowed down and considered his words: "Jiang Ning, in the afternoon competition, the teacher is playing a game with you."
"I cooperated with you in order to help your class win."
She only started working last year, but as a young female teacher, she has some understanding of high school age boys.
She was worried that Jiang Ning would think too much, so she said something more.
Although Jiang Ning had saved her and left a special impression on her, Jiang Ning was too young and Guo Ran only regarded him as a younger brother who could be taken care of.
After Jiang Ning heard this, his eyes were clear and he said as a matter of course: "I know, it's just a game."
"Oh." Guo Ran was relieved.
Then, the atmosphere seemed slightly awkward.
Guo Ran felt embarrassed. He should have kept silent if he had known. Jiang Ning understood anyway.
What kind of thing is that? It makes her seem so serious.
No matter what, Guo Ran is still a girl in her early 20s. She is not tactful in handling problems and is inevitably idealistic and immature.
Fortunately, the boss served the food.
The pickled fish tasted very good, smooth and tasty. Guo Ran ate a lot of cakes. While enjoying the food, the awkwardness gradually disappeared and the two of them returned to their previous relationship.
After the meal, Guo Ran's lips were rosy and red, as if she had applied natural lipstick, and she leaned back in the chair to rest.
Jiang Ning shouted, "Boss, check out."
The lady boss blurted out, "It's 51 yuan in total. I'll give you 50 yuan."
Guo Ran took out the money on his own initiative.
Before, Jiang Ning offered to treat them to a meal, and she agreed verbally. However, how could she let her students pay
Jiang Ning had already taken out the money. He said:
"I'll do it this time."
"This is your first time here, so I have to do my best to be a good host."
The proprietress looked at the two of them. With her many years of experience in running a shop, she knew that there would have to be some shoving before the person who would pay the bill could be decided. She had seen it many times and was used to it.
As a result, all I heard was Guo Ran holding up 50 yuan and saying arrogantly: "I'm the landlord!"
In the end, Guo Ran paid the money.
Jiang Ning knew that she had just started working and her salary was not high. She loved buying snacks all the time. Xue Yuantong, who was ignorant of the ways of the world, ate her snacks fiercely.
It is estimated that today's meal money has dealt another heavy blow to her already tight financial situation.
After Guo Ran finished his meal, he remembered to ask: "What is Xue Yuantong going to eat tonight? Do you want to buy her something?"
Jiang Ning: "It's okay, let her starve."
Guo Ran: “Okay.”
Jiang Ning certainly wouldn't let Xue Yuantong really starve.
She just isn't hungry now, but she will probably feel hungry in the middle of evening study.
Jiang Ning sent a message to Shao Shuangshuang in advance and asked the company cafeteria to deliver a portion when the time came.
…
When they arrived at school, Jiang Ning and Guo Ran said goodbye in front of Teaching Building No. 3.
Guo Ran continued to be her chemistry teacher.
Jiang Ning continued to be a student in Class 8 of Grade 1.
The back row of the classroom.
Guo Kunnan, Ma Shicheng and others gathered together to chat.
"Brother Ma, do you know the girl in the relay race this afternoon?" Guo Kunnan asked.
In fact, he was more interested in the chemistry teacher Guo Ran, but since she was a teacher, he had to shift his attention to another girl.
Ma Shicheng said: "Meng Ziyun from Class 5 is quite interesting."
Guo Kunnan: "I know her name is Meng Ziyun, I want to know more detailed information, such as her past."
Ma Shicheng was silent for two seconds: "Brother Nan, it shouldn't be that serious."
Guo Kunnan immediately assured: "Brother Ma, do you still not believe in my character? Ask everyone here, who is my brother Nan?"
Cui Yu: "How powerful is your brother Kunnan?"
Ma Shicheng was speechless. He motioned for Wang Longlong to speak. Intelligence work was what Longlong was best at.
When Wang Longlong thought of Meng Ziyun, he recalled the time when he was in elementary school and Meng Ziyun beat up his deskmate in front of him, and he didn't dare to fight back.
Ma Shicheng saw that he looked strange and was about to say something, but Wang Longlong seemed to have overcome something and he confided:
"I know about Meng Ziyun's affairs."
Guo Kunnan: "Wow, Brother Long never lets me down."
"Tell me who she is. I want to know her."
Facing the curiosity of several people, Wang Longlong slowly said: "Let me tell you about her elementary school life. Meng Ziyun is a 'big brother' in our school."
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately understood: "You are just a mess?"
Cui Yu said: "I had some in elementary school too. The few I know have all dropped out of school now. They should be working on construction sites."
Wang Longlong continued, "There used to be a group in our school called 'Crying Blood Rose', and the name of the leader was 'Blood Rose'."
"There are also black roses and white roses in it."
Guo Kunnan was witty: "Is Meng Ziyun a purple rose?"
Wang Longlong: "You guessed right."
"At that time, 'Crying Rose' was very powerful and often bullied classmates, and Meng Ziyun played an important role in it."
"Maybe she has changed now, but I have a general feeling about her."
Cui Yu said happily: "She had a conflict with me today. Brothers, wait and see. When she falls into my hands in the future, I will let you see me conquer Purple Rose!"
Several people fantasized about how to tame the rose.
Zhang Chi ran over and said mysteriously: "Brothers, did you know that we have planted peach trees in our school?"
Wang Longlong: "It's still a nectarine tree."
Guo Kunnan said: "Nectarines are delicious and can be eaten after being rinsed with water, unlike hairy peaches, which need to be peeled."
Zhang Chi invited: "Brothers, do you want to try it?"
"No, it's clearly written here. Anyone who dares to steal peaches will be punished if caught." Wang Longlong didn't take any risks.
Guo Kunnan declined: "I heard there are surveillance cameras, and anyone who dares to steal peaches will be caught."
We are all studying in school, and we shouldn't break the school rules for a few dollars.
Zhang Chi said angrily: "Am I afraid of him?"
Cui Yu looked at him with displeasure: "Just give it a try."
Zhang Chi: "Just give it a try."
…
Evening self-study begins.
Huang Zhongfei went to the podium first and talked about tomorrow's competition events, including the long-distance race, the finals of several key events, and the tug-of-war event for everyone to participate.
After he finished speaking, he saw that there was still chaos below.
There are sports meets these two days, and there will be another sports meet tomorrow, so we will have a short holiday. Everyone is so distracted that they cannot concentrate on studying.
In the chaos, Chen Qian, who was studying alone, became an outlier.
Huang Zhongfei announced: "I have consulted with the class teacher, and everyone can watch a movie tonight!"
When the classmates heard this, they were so excited that the classroom immediately became lively.
Chen Siqing turned around and said happily: "Jiang Ning, let's watch a movie tonight!"
Bai Yuxia was also looking at him. She still remembered the scene in the afternoon when Jiang Ning ran with his chemistry teacher in his arms. She was a little curious about what it felt like to run with his teacher in his arms.
But I was too embarrassed to ask him in person because this question was too explicit.
If he asked, how would Jiang Ning look at her
Huang Zhongfei prepared the memory card and let everyone choose a movie.
Zhang Chi shouted, "It's a horror movie. Let's have some horror excitement."
Cui Yu shouted: "Watch an art film!"
Meng Gui: “Is it the art film I thought it was?”
Pang Jiao yelled, "What kind of horror movie are you watching? It's so scary!"
Cui Yu cursed in his heart: "Your existence is a horror movie!"
Pang Jiao said in a dull but bassy voice: "I don't want to watch horror movies, I will be so scared that I will hide in my brother's arms!"
Zhang Yifei, a square-faced girl: "Jiaojiao, you look so cute when you are like a little bird."
Wu Xiaoqi was about to vomit.
An unknown voice came from the back of the classroom: "I think you are a Xiaotaiyi!"
"Hahaha!" Everyone laughed.
Pang Jiao turned his huge head to the back row and roared, "Who said that? Who are you?"
However, no one responded.
Everyone continued to chat about choosing movies.
…
In such chaos, Jiang Ning, who was in the southwest corner of the classroom, did not participate in the dispute.
He held a book in his hand and ignored the noise.
My deskmate Xue Yuantong was lying on the table, looking like he had nothing to do.
She called out Jiang Ning, but unfortunately her voice was so soft that it was drowned out by more noise.
Jiang Ning caught it, and he cast a spiritual power array to eliminate and reduce the noise coming from all directions.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Ning asked her.
"I want to go to the playground tomorrow." She had played in the teaching building for two days and it was time for her to go to the playground for a checkup.
Look at the performance of Jiang Ning, her number one general, to see if he has brought down her prestige.
"Then come on, there's tug-of-war tomorrow," said Jiang Ning.
Xue Yuantong: "Let me show you what it means to be possessed by divine power."
Jiang Ning sneered, she only had that much strength.
Xue Yuantong immediately glared at him angrily, Jiang Ning would look down on her!
"Are you happy these two days?" Xue Yuantong suddenly realized that she had actually been playing for two whole days!
Jiang Ning boasted: "I'm so happy."
"Tsk, I'm happier than you." Xue Yuantong was not willing to be outdone.
Jiang Ning continued reading.
Xue Yuantong stopped asking. Her small body was still lying on the table.
The class was still choosing movies, with Zhang Chi's horror film, Cui Yu's art film, Yu Wen's romance film, and Guo Kunnan's disaster film each having their own opinion.
The students were noisy.
Xue Yuantong lay there comfortably, but she would glance out of the window from time to time, and as she did so she would smile secretly, looking slyly.
After repeating this several times, Jiang Ning thought she was looking at the scenery outside the window, and he said:
"If you want to watch, I'll change seats with you."
Xue Yuantong shook his head.
Jiang Ning: “Hmm?”
Xue Yuantong chuckled: "Stupid, I'm looking at you."
At night, it was dark outside but bright inside the room. The glass had a mirror-like effect and she could just see Jiang Ning's profile.
Jiang Ning was puzzled: "Why should I look at the glass when I am here?"
Xue Yuantong said seriously: "I want to see what you look like when you can't see me, Jiang Ning."
She felt interesting and observed Jiang Ning's face, expression and movements from another angle.
With her extraordinary wisdom, she can easily find out Jiang Ning's strengths and weaknesses.
Jiang Ning: "What do I look like?"
Xue Yuantong counted with his little finger and made up a story: "I don't care if you have a full forehead, a handsome appearance, or an extraordinary temperament..."
Jiang Ning: "Nonsense, don't watch it."
Xue Yuantong turned his head away: "Humph, I don't want to see you anymore!"
