Monday, early morning.
The sound of reading aloud came from the classroom, full of youthful vigor.
In this thriving scene, students in the back row of Class 8 were doing their own things.
Zhang Chi took big bites of the steamed dumplings, which tasted quite good. When dipped in chili oil and vinegar, they tasted really delicious!
He took another sip of the chicken soup and sighed with emotion. Many classmates said that Duan Shigang was not a good person, but Zhang Chi did not think so.
Duan Shigang gave him breakfast. He is not just a good man, he is a saint!
Wu Xiaoqi was sleeping soundly while holding a basketball.
Guo Kunnan was daydreaming, Hu Jun arranged 5 coins, and Ma Shicheng was concentrating on playing with his mobile phone.
Lu Qiqi at the front table was talking to Yu Wen, and Yu Wen temporarily switched seats with her deskmate.
Wang Longlong tilted his head to look at the door of Class 8, and through the gap in the front door, he saw Gao Heshuai, who looked well-dressed in a white shirt, in the corridor of Class 9 next door. He stood with his hands behind his back, calling Yan Tianpeng to come out and pointing at him.
Wang Longlong nudged Ma Shicheng and said, "Brother Ma, have you heard that Gao Heshuai has become the head teacher of Class 9?"
Ma Shicheng performed a beautiful operation and didn't care much: "So what? It's Class 9 that's suffering."
"Wenwen, I've discovered that compared to my ex-boyfriend, the guys who have been pursuing me recently are really bad." Lu Qiqi complained.
Yu Wen: "Can he be worse than Yan Tianpeng?"
Lu Qiqi: "No, it's just that the place they invited me to was not up to standard."
"Didn't a boy from Class 3 ask me out during evening study yesterday? He asked me to have dinner. I thought he was treating me to barbecue, but he actually bought me a pancake?"
"My boyfriend took me to ES restaurant before." Lu Qiqi pretended to be surprised.
Ever since the breakup, she realized how hard it is to live alone. She was used to being supported by others, and her pitiful living expenses were not enough for her to spend for two days.
When she came to school yesterday afternoon, she went to the city to eat fruit pizza, then went shopping in the supermarket. She felt the journey back to school was too far, so she took a taxi. Now she only has 10 yuan left.
It wasn't enough for her to buy breakfast.
Yu Wen thought for a while and said, "Didn't you say that there are two other people pursuing you who are particularly good?"
"One of the families seems to be running a factory."
She wanted Lu Qiqi to find a better partner. She and Lu Qiqi used to compete with each other, but not anymore. No matter who the other party dates, he will never be one finger taller than her.
Besides, if Lu Qiqi had a generous boyfriend, she could get some benefits.
Before, Yu Wen often received fruits from Lu Qiqi.
Lu Qiqi: "His family owns a factory and is very rich, but he doesn't spend his money on me. He just plays games on his broken phone every day."
As she spoke, Lu Qiqi turned around, pointed at Ma Shicheng, and gave an example:
"Just like his bear look."
Ma Shicheng was puzzled. He was a non-confrontational person who just played games quietly. Who had he offended
As he spoke, he controlled the Annie hero of Dota with his fingertips and killed the opposing Graves with one round.
Yu Wen agrees: "Indeed, boys should not be too addicted to games, as it is easy to lose their ambition."
After belittling the boy, Lu Qiqi added: "Anyway, I think the boys nowadays are not good and not to my liking."
She looked conflicted: "Wenwen, I was determined to break up, cut off all contact, and go our separate ways from now on."
"But my ex-boyfriend recently sent me a text message, begging me to get back together. Do you think I should forgive him?"
Yu Wen has no experience in love and doesn’t understand this.
However, Ma Shicheng tapped the other party's crystal and suddenly asked, "Were you not accepted by your first choice?"
…
Monday feels so long.
Duan Shigang felt like he was living in a year. Finally, when school was over in the afternoon, he rushed out of his seat impatiently and shouted:
"Cui Yu, Zhang Chi, have dinner together!"
Cui Yu refused because he had something to do in the afternoon.
However, Zhang Chi, without saying a word, put his arm around Duan Shigang's shoulders.
Guo Kunnan in the classroom looked at the two people's backs and said, "Something is going on. They have been having a good time recently."
Zhang Chi didn’t have many friends in the class before. Hu Jun could be considered half a friend. However, Zhang Chi used Hu Jun’s shampoo, laundry detergent, and toothpaste every day and acted as if he didn’t respect him, which made Hu Jun angry.
"Brother Jun, would you like to have dinner with us later?" Guo Kunnan invited. When it comes to dinner, more people are needed to have fun.
Hu Jun put the coin he had been playing with all day into his trouser pocket and wiped his hair: "No, I plan to go out of school to wash my hair."
Guo Kunnan was puzzled: "Can't I go back to the dormitory to wash my hair?"
Hu Jun said mysteriously: "It's different, it's different."
After saying this, he left the classroom without waiting for Guo Kunnan to say more.
"He's not right." Guo Kunnan concluded, "Longlong, do you know what's going on?"
Wang Longlong immediately replied: "There is a new hair salon opened in front of the school. The owner is a young woman in her thirties."
Guo Kunnan cursed fiercely: "What kind of evil has Hu Jun committed?"
…
Off campus.
Duan Shigang led Zhang Chi and walked southward.
Zhang Chi: "Where are we going to eat, Brother Gang?"
Duan Shigang showed an arrogant look and said generously: "Today I will treat you to a good meal!"
After that, he looked to the south and said, "I know there's a hot pot restaurant over there, let's go there together."
Zhang Chi was stunned. He had very few opportunities to eat hotpot in his life. Such a high-end restaurant was once out of his reach.
He originally thought that Duan Shigang could at most take him out for a meal of braised chicken, which was already a great thing, but who would have thought that the other party would be so generous.
Zhang Chi hurriedly followed him. At this moment, Duan Shigang was his best brother, no doubt about it.
Duan Shigang remained calm. He had been working outside for a few months. The factory provided him with food and accommodation. Although he spent money lavishly, he had saved up 3,000 yuan now, which was enough for him to eat for a long time.
On the way to the hotel, they happened to see Jiang Ning riding a mountain bike home on the road in the distance.
Duan Shigang asked, "Chi Zi, is Jiang Ning very powerful?"
Last week he had a fight with Pang Jiao and others and was knocked down on the spot. If Jiang Ning hadn't blocked him, Duan Shigang would have probably fallen badly.
Zhang Chi glanced at Jiang Ning and said disapprovingly: "He just has better grades, is good at fighting, is handsome, and has girls willing to spend money on him. What else is that?"
Duan Shigang heard his disdainful tone and thought the logic was not right at first, but he also agreed:
"Indeed, not very good."
Zhang Chi said: "This kind of person can only be popular in school. What will he be in the society when he enters the society?"
When it comes to society, Duan Shigang is a true social person. He speaks with a tone of experienced people and says:
“Society is much harder than school.”
Zhang Chi added: "In my opinion, Brother Gang, you are the best in Class 8."
Duan Shigang was very happy to hear this. In his opinion, there was arrogance in Zhang Chi's words. This kind of person has high vision and can make the other party praise him sincerely, which is enough to show his level.
During the conversation, Duan Shigang had already forgotten about Jiang Ning and asked Zhang Chi for information about the students in Class 8.
Cui Yu explained it to him before, but Duan Shigang didn’t just listen to one person’s one-sided words, he preferred to collect more information.
Soon, they entered the hot pot restaurant and took their seats under the guidance of the enthusiastic waiter.
Enjoying the air-conditioning and looking at the hotpot restaurant which was many times more upscale than the usual small restaurants, Zhang Chi felt that he had become an upper-class person.
Duan Shigang took out the menu and let him choose first.
Beef, mutton, tripe, shrimp balls, countless dishes, Zhang Chi was dazzled and for a moment he didn't know which one to order.
"Brother Gang, you are the host, you come!" In order not to appear timid, Zhang Chi handed him the menu.
Duan Shigang was very satisfied. He checked off a long list of dishes and ordered some snacks.
The two continued chatting, and when talking about Hu Jun, Zhang Chi said: "He is too stingy, and he will never amount to anything."
Speaking of Wang Longlong, "He has some talent."
Speaking of Guo Kunnan, "He is indecisive and can hardly accomplish anything great."
Speaking of Song Sheng, "He is a reckless man with a lack of brains."
When mentioning Ma Shicheng, Zhang Chi said seriously, "He has good relationships and some skills, so it's best not to mess with him."
The waiter came up with a butter pan, a stack of pumpkin pie and freshly squeezed juice.
Duan Shigang poured him a cup and said, "Eat something first to fill your stomach."
Zhang Chi quickly got a piece of pumpkin pie, which was soft and sweet. He suddenly felt that his previous life had been a dog's life.
"Tell me about the girls in your class." Duan Shigang was very interested in this.
Zhang Chi: "If you want to talk about the prettiest one, it must be Bai Yuxia. Several people in the class like her."
"Next is Shen Qing'e, the arts committee member of our class, who is in the class monitor's circle."
"And Geng Lu." Talking about this woman, Zhang Chi envied her from the bottom of his heart, "She can make money."
After a long conversation, Zhang Chi analyzed the situation of Class 8 for Duan Shigang.
It took nearly an hour to finish the hot pot.
At the end of the meal, Zhang Chi was still not satisfied, so he ordered a portion of vermicelli and ate it up cleanly with the spicy hot pot.
After the meal, Zhang Chi really felt like he was living a god's life.
Duan Shigang paid the bill. Zhang Chi took a look and found that the hotpot cost 90 yuan.
Before leaving, Zhang Chi grabbed a handful of plum candy at the front desk because he heard that it was free.
"Class starts in ten minutes." Zhang Chi looked at his phone and stood at the door of the hot pot restaurant to get some fresh air.
He looked down at the people passing by and a sense of satisfaction arose in his heart.
"Look, I'm a man who has eaten hot pot!"
Duan Shigang doesn't have as many feelings as him.
They walked toward the school, walking on the concrete tiles of the sidewalk.
This type of floor tile has obvious disadvantages. It tends to become loose over time. It is fine on sunny days, but if it rains, people may accidentally get splashed with dirty water if they step on it.
It's not raining today, but some shop owners are very uncivilized and like to splash or drain dirty water at the doorway, making the floor tiles wet.
Zhang Chi saw from afar that there was a barefoot, dark, chubby little kid in front of him, who was deliberately stepping on the floor tiles to play, causing dirty water to splash everywhere.
The kid was very bad. He would step hard on the bricks whenever someone passed by.
Two female classmates passed by. They were wearing clean clothes, but the fat boy kicked them and splashed the dirty water all over them, almost splashing on their faces.
He laughed out loud, as if he were a child who had succeeded, and enjoyed it very much.
The female classmate ran away feeling aggrieved, but couldn't do anything to the fat boy, so she had to quickly take out a tissue to wipe it.
This caused the pedestrians around to avoid the child, after all, this kind of child is very difficult to deal with.
Zhang Chi and Duan Shigang continued to move forward. When the little boy saw them, he kicked them. Fortunately, Zhang Chi dodged quickly and jumped to the side to avoid it.
Duan Shigang frowned. Was his brother Gang looked down upon by the naughty boy today
But Brother Gang was a big shot after all, not a small-time gangster. He couldn't bring himself to teach a little fat kid a lesson. If others heard it, I don't know how they would frame him.
He was about to go over when Zhang Chi suddenly stopped.
He looked at the chubby kid and said with a fake smile: "You are making trouble here, where are your parents?"
The little fat boy was probably used to being lawless. When faced with a man like Zhang Chi, he still sneered and looked arrogant:
"Grandpa, I came out to play alone!"
Zhang Chi's expression changed instantly. He raised his eyebrows and glared, looking ferocious: "Damn it, how dare a person be so arrogant?"
Facing the weak, Zhang Chi struck back with force.
He grabbed the chubby boy's hair and pulled him over easily like pulling a carrot.
Zhang Chi raised his right hand and slapped him twice skillfully, "Pa Pa"!
He swung his arms suddenly with such powerful force that the little fat boy's feet flew into the air, and then he let the little fat boy fall to the ground with a "bang".
Zhang Chi kicked the fat kid again, causing him to cry for his parents.
Duan Shigang didn't react at all, why did he do that
At the end, Zhang Chi kicked the little fat man and said:
"Fuck you, if you act crazy again next time, I'll beat you up every time I see you!"
Apart from the bad mood, Zhang Chi felt extremely comfortable. He walked away in the stunned eyes of the passers-by around him.
…
After returning to school, Duan Shigang went to smoke with Deng Xiang and others.
Zhang Chi went straight back to the classroom. He took out some plum candies and gave one to each of the students in the back row. He did this not out of kindness but to show off.
Sure enough, Guo Kunnan received the plum candy and said in surprise: "Zhang Chi, why did you buy plum candy today?"
At the same time, Wang Longlong and Shan Kaiquan looked at him together.
Zhang Chi was secretly happy: "Hey, let's have hotpot after school. The waiter gave it to me!"
Cui Yu came up to smell it, and indeed he smelled a scent of hot pot on Zhang Chi's clothes. He concluded: "It is authentic."
"How can you eat hotpot?" Cui Yu didn't understand. Zhang Chi was so poor, how could he afford hotpot
Zhang Chi was unhappy: "Why can't I eat hot pot? It's our brother Gang who is willing to treat me!"
Cui Yu heard, "What, he invited you to eat hot pot?"
You should know that he just rejected Duan Shigang in the afternoon.
Zhang Chi was so happy when he saw their surprised expressions: "I can't help it. My character is here."
…
Evening self-study.
Chen Siyu tested herself. She spent two classes writing a math test paper.
After finishing, he gave the test paper to Jiang Ning, asking him to act as a teacher and correct the answers.
Chen Siyu clasped her hands together, stared at Jiang Ning with her big eyes, her slightly upturned eyelashes fluttering, and waited for the result nervously.
Jiang Ning was very quick in grading the papers and finished the grading in less than two minutes.
He put down the red marker.
Chen Siyu asked timidly: "How many points?"
At this moment, her demeanor was completely different from her usual confident and lively self. After all, she was a high school student, and she could not ignore the most important results.
Jiang Ning said: "115 points, not bad."
After hearing this, Chen Siyu's face was filled with disappointment, and she said weakly, "It's still not over 120 points."
"Practice more and don't be anxious." Jiang Ning said.
While feeling disappointed, Chen Siyu looked at Xue Yuantong next to her, who was drawing on the textbook with a pen.
Thinking of Xue Yuantong's horrible grades, Chen Siyu asked for help:
"Tongtong, I seem to have hit a wall in math, and my score is stuck at 120. This has been the case for the last few exams."
"Your grades are so good, you must have improved them little by little. Can you tell me if there is any technique to break 120 points?"
After Xue Yuantong heard this, he tilted his head in thought, then said:
"I'm sorry, Siyu, I only got 150 points on the first test I took, so I can't give you any useful advice."
