The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and before the Chinese teacher walked out of the classroom, the sound of students talking could be heard in the class. Then, the fragmented sounds became larger, and several shouts were interspersed among them.
Huang Yuzhu took out a table tennis racket, walked past the back row, and waved to Miao Zhe.
Miao Zhe stood up immediately. He was a very introverted person. However, after playing ball with Huang Yuzhu during a physical education class, the two got along well and became half friends.
During breaks, I often went to the playground to play table tennis with Huang Yuzhu.
Wu Xiaoqi was holding a basketball. He looked at the ping-pong ball that was only as big as a ping-pong ball and invited:
"Stop playing table tennis, come play basketball with me. Facing the sun, sweating and passionately colliding on the court, this is the sport that real men should do!"
Wu Xiaoqi waved his arms, creating a great scene, trying to attract them to join the basketball team.
Miao Zhe said nothing, Huang Yuzhu said nothing either, and they left together.
Wu Xiaoqi smacked his lips, not feeling sad, as he was already used to being rejected.
Dong Qingfeng, Jiang Yanan, Yu Wen and others passed by the back door of the classroom carrying badminton bags.
Wu Xiaoqi changed his strategy and bewitched him: "Dong Qingfeng, stop playing with women, play basketball with me, and let the name of our country spread to the world!"
"Let those who look down on us be shocked!" Wu Xiaoqi showed his patriotism.
Yu Wen looked at him as if he was suffering from cerebral palsy: "You talk so nicely, why don't you go play football?"
After saying that, she left with Jiang Yanan.
…
"Rock, paper, scissors."
Xue Yuantong lost.
After seeing this, Chen Siyu smiled and said, "Tongtong, you lose. I want an old popsicle, the kind that costs 50 cents each."
The two of them played rock-paper-scissors to decide who would go to the cafeteria to buy food.
Xue Yuantong lost three times in a row and was very miserable. She looked at her deskmate Jiang Ning with resentment.
"Haha, you're asking for trouble." Jiang Ning had no sympathy at all. Chen Siyu originally wanted to play with him, but Xue Yuantong ended up doing the hard labor.
Xue Yuantong played the emotional card. She looked at him seriously: "Jiang Ning, how do I treat you?"
She took stock for two minutes and found that her past contributions were not limited to washing clothes and cooking.
Jiang Ning: "Stop talking, let's go together."
Xue Yuantong went out happily.
The weather was very good, the sky was blue, and the clouds were as white and soft as a girl's legs, which made people feel happy.
The sturdy old locust tree in the distance has lush branches and leaves, and its green leaves provide a large area of shade.
In the small garden in front of Building 3, flowers of various colors are in full bloom.
In the corridor outside, several boys from Class 8 were lying on the balcony relaxing.
Wang Longlong sighed: "It's a pity that after moving here, I can't see the fountain in the rockery anymore."
Guo Kunnan's mood was different from Wang Longlong's. He looked down at the open concrete ground below. Many students were standing on both sides of the badminton net, swinging their rackets and playing.
Guo Kunnan's eyes kept searching the students passing by, but he failed to find the figure.
He said sadly, "Tingting is not here."
Meng Gui said: "Yes, Tingting hasn't shown up for two days."
Cui Yu: "I miss her."
Duan Shigang stood next to Cui Yu. Since their conversation in the morning, the two had become acquaintances.
Duan Shigang was watching the film with great interest. After hearing the sighs of several people, he wanted to know:
"Who is Tingting you are talking about?"
Meng Gui: “Big.”
Cui Yu: “Move.”
Guo Kunnan: "Run."
Duan Shigang said he didn't understand.
Cui Yu said: "Gangzi, when you meet Tingting, you will know how lovable she is."
Yun Tingting is a student in the experimental class of Grade 1, Class 3. She is famous for her size. Not only that, but she is also never stingy with it. She likes to wear thin clothes every time and play badminton with others downstairs.
At such times, classes 8, 9, 10, and even the corridors above our heads, would be filled with students, paying their highest respects with the most pious attitude.
Guo Kunnan searched for a long time without any results, so he said, "Brother Cui, do you want to go to dinner?"
In fact, he didn't eat breakfast and he was so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore. But if Yun Tingting was here, Guo Kunnan could have continued to hold on.
But she wasn't there.
Cui Yu: “Go, go, go!”
Several people were arm in arm.
…
On campus, Xue Yuantong looked around. She was in No. 4 Middle School and spent most of her time at her desk. She rarely walked around like she was doing now.
"Jiang Ning, when the new cafeteria opens, do you want to join the small dining table?" Yesterday during evening study, she heard her classmates say this and she felt a sense of novelty.
Bai Yuxia and Chen Siyu seemed to be planning on participating.
Jiang Ning said, "Let's take a closer look."
He was not sure what this model was like. After all, the canteen had never undergone such changes before, and the canteen owner still firmly controlled the canteen contract rights until he graduated.
On the way to the cafeteria, groups of students passed by from time to time.
The gate of No. 4 Middle School is closed during classes, so it is impossible to go outside the school to buy things.
Now it is mid-May and the temperature in Yuzhou area has risen. Many students who want to drink some cold drinks can only choose the supermarket near the cafeteria.
Xue Yuantong chattered away, and Jiang Ning only occasionally responded.
Suddenly, Xue Yuantong looked at the two girls in front of him and touched Jiang Ning: "She is so tall!"
Hearing this, Jiang Ning took a look around and saw that the girl in front of him was about 180cm tall and was wearing black shorts, revealing a pair of fair, well-proportioned long legs.
As she walked, she moved her two slender and round legs, which was very eye-catching.
Behind Jiang Ning and the others, Guo Kunnan and others, who had been walking slowly, suddenly overtook Jiang Ning as if they were participating in a walking competition.
"Brother Nan, Brother Nan, slow down. You can't hold on any longer." Wang Longlong jogged after him.
A few people only dared to look, not dare to go up and talk to her. They followed silently from behind, like following someone, to take a few more glances and feast their eyes.
Guo Kunnan only looked at it a few times and immediately recognized the owner of the long legs. He asserted:
"Tang Fu, from Class 7."
At the last campus meet, Tang Fu won first place in the long jump event.
There were countless students who went to watch the game at that time.
Duan Shigang took a breath of cold air: "These are not legs, they are two deadly scissors!"
When Guo Kunnan heard Gangzi's description, he thought that this boy was quite eloquent, so he described it more exaggeratedly:
"These legs are longer than my life!"
Wang Longlong: "Brother Nan, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"
…
Finally arrived at the cafeteria.
Xue Yuantong went to eat first. After all, the cafeteria was about to be renovated. If he wanted to eat there again in the future, it might not be available. He had to eat while he could and cherish it.
She and Jiang Ning went to the window selling fried dough sticks, which was the most popular window in the cafeteria of No. 4 Middle School. Xue Yuantong arrived a little late, and there was a long line in front of the window.
She had no choice but to go forward and line up. In front of her happened to be the tall girl she had just met on the road. Upon closer observation, Xue Yuantong discovered that this girl was even taller.
As for who is taller between him and Jiang Ning, Xue Yuantong couldn't tell; in any case, they were both very tall.
Jiang Ning queued up behind her and bought a bowl of tofu pudding while buying fried dough sticks. Xue Yuantong took the fried dough sticks and two bowls at the same time, which was definitely not acceptable.
The line moved forward little by little, and soon it was Tang Fu's turn. She just ordered a cup of soy milk, swiped her meal card, and left with the cup in her hand.
The auntie at the window said directly to Jiang Ning: "What do you want, classmate?"
Xue Yuantong shouted, "Auntie, is it my turn next?"
The aunt then looked down and found that there was a female classmate in front of the window. She quickly said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, I didn't see it."
Xue Yuantong cried in her heart, is she really that short
…
The last class in the afternoon is self-study.
Some people in the classroom were discussing issues, some were playing with their phones, so it wasn't completely silent.
Huang Zhongfei no longer cared about discipline.
Song Sheng likes to do test papers during self-study class, but Pang Jiao and the others are always talking. Song Sheng tried to stop them and was almost beaten by Pang Jiao and the others.
Later, students who liked to study gradually changed towards Chen Qian's direction and learned to reconcile with noise.
Chen Siyu was discussing the topic with Xue Yuantong. She didn't believe in evil and wanted to develop Xue Yuantong's teaching ability.
"How do we solve this?" Chen Siyu pointed to a physics problem, which was a mechanics problem.
Xue Yuantong said a few words and figured out the answer.
Chen Siyu emphasized: "I am asking you how to solve the problem and your solution ideas!"
Xue Yuantong: "Is that the solution?"
Jiang Ning watched the two people playing. He opened his spiritual sense and covered the entire teaching building. He didn't notice any teachers coming, so he took out two boxes he had prepared in advance.
"Chen Siyu, the jade pendant is ready." He put the box on the desk.
After hearing this, Chen Siyu immediately abandoned Xue Yuantong: "So fast!"
She thought she would have to wait a few more days, but she didn't expect Jiang Ning to be so efficient.
"The carving went quite smoothly." Jiang Ning said. In fact, with his skills, if he pursued efficiency, it would only take a minute.
He just likes the process of meticulous craftsmanship.
After hearing this, Bai Yuxia turned around and looked, curious about the jade carved by Jiang Ning.
Chen Siyu opened the box, and Bai Yuxia saw a piece of white jade hook cloud. The material was very clean and pure. It was from the same batch of jade as her little tiger.
"It looks good!" Chen Siyu was satisfied.
Next, she looked at another box. If nothing unexpected happened, this box contained koi.
She opened the box and saw a koi carp. The little koi carp was not monotonous white. Its upper body was red, while its body was a light red. At the tail, it transitioned into pure white.
In the last reflection of the setting sun that passed through the classroom window, the scales on the surface of the koi fish sparkled as if they were alive.
"Wow!" Chen Siyu's eyes seemed to glow with astonishment.
When her deskmate Bai Yuxia saw the koi, she felt a little moved. If we only look at the appearance, this koi is more beautiful and eye-catching than her little tiger.
There is a small ring on the koi's tail, and a red rope passes through the tail.
Chen Siyu put the koi on her wrist and showed it to a few people.
The girl's wrist is slender and white, with a red koi fish on it, extremely bright, and a slightly curved fish tail that seems to be swimming.
Bai Yuxia suddenly said, "Isn't this jade?"
Jiang Ning replied: "Well, it's not jade, it's jadeite."
"That's what I thought." Bai Yuxia nodded. At first glance, she found that the material did not look like jade.
Chen Siyu was originally admiring it. When she heard it was jadeite, she was surprised and asked, "Is it expensive?"
She gritted her teeth and looked at Jiang Ning. She was determined to get this koi! Even if it was expensive, she would get it!
Bai Yuxia didn't say anything. The cost might not be high, but for jade and jadeite, there is a saying that goes, 'If jade is not carved, it will not be made into a useful object.' The raw materials might cost dozens or hundreds of dollars, but once they are carved, the price will increase wildly.
In her opinion, the price of the jade koi is at least several hundred or even thousands.
Bai Yuxia didn't point it out.
Sister Chen Siyu is stupid and may not be able to tell the price. Besides, Jiang Ning himself may not care.
"If it's very expensive, I'll give you all my sister's pocket money." Chen Siyu said gritting her teeth.
Jiang Ning smiled: "What about you?"
Chen Siyu: "I'll give it to you too!"
After receiving the benefit from Jiang Ning, she secretly decided to compensate Jiang Ning together with her sister and make sure he was satisfied.
The fact that Chen Siyu can become a friend of Bai Yuxia, Yang Sheng and others does not mean she is a girl who likes to take advantage of others.
Jiang Ning said happily: "That's not necessary, the cost is very low."
"For me, carving is a pleasure in itself. If you protect this koi, it will be my reward."
…
Giving gifts during class attracted the attention of classmates around.
After school in the afternoon, Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong left first and went home for dinner.
Chen Siyu was waiting for her sister in the classroom. When her sister arrived, she showed her the things Jiang Ning had given her.
The two sisters have similar aesthetic tastes. If the younger sister thinks something is beautiful, the older sister is no exception.
The two girls played with it for a while, and Chen Siqing said, "Last time we came back from South City, we only brought him a bookmark, but he gave us jade. We'll make it up to him next time."
Chen Siyu agreed very much: "Yeah."
"But I don't know what he likes."
This is true. They really couldn't find Jiang Ning's hobbies. He was not like other students in the class who liked to discuss electronic devices, shoes, basketball...
After careful consideration, Chen Siqing decided to introduce two strategies. The first was to make a breakthrough from Xue Yuantong and buy her more food.
Secondly, they should seize Jiang Ning's current hobby. He likes reading. So, every time they go to a city or a tourist attraction, they will collect local bookmarks and give them to him.
In this way, as long as I have more bookmarks, I can always buy off this emerald koi.
While the two sisters were discussing, Yu Wen came over to inquire about the enemy situation. She had noticed the movements on Jiang Ning's side during class and discussed it with Shen Qing'e.
After Shen Qing'e's vague hints and guidance, Yu Wen unknowingly became interested. Isn't this acting as a pioneer
"Siyu, what did you do in class?" Yu Wen asked directly.
She has a fiery personality and is very straightforward, rarely beating around the bush.
Chen Siyu grabbed her sister's wrist and showed her the jade koi carp she was wearing. "Jiang Ning carved this himself. Doesn't it look good?"
She had a clean and innocent relationship with her sister and Jiang Ning, it was purely a friendship and she didn't bother to hide it.
When Yu Wen saw it, her eyes were fixed on it for a few seconds. The koi was as soft as jade and yet crystal clear, which really attracted girls.
She felt sour and said insincerely: "It's okay, just an ordinary jadeite."
After hearing this, Chen Siyu immediately hid her sister's wrist.
"I like it very much, and it was carved by Jiang Ning himself."
"Sister, let's go eat!" said Chen Siqing.
When Yu Wen went back, she was still thinking about the koi fish. Shen Qing'e and Jiang Yanan were around her, and Dong Qingfeng went to buy food for them.
Seeing Yu Wen coming back, the two girls cast their glances at her.
Yu Wen suddenly asked, "Qing'e, didn't you play with Jiang Ning last week? Can he carve jade pendants?"
