As June approaches, the temperature in Anhui Province rises.
The windows of the classroom were fully opened, and several ceiling fans were spinning "whoosh whoosh", blowing out cool air that blew away the stuffy air.
Wednesday, the first evening self-study class.
Yu Wen picked up a delicate iron box on the desk, looked at it for a few seconds, and said in surprise:
"Yanan, something strange happened today. Zhang Chi actually gave you a gift."
The sun really rises in the west. Zhang Chi is a stingy person. In the previous school sports meeting, he was even unwilling to pay for custom-made group uniforms, which seriously affected everyone's collective spirit.
Even his classmates have never seen him being generous.
Jiang Yanan explained: "He delivered it for someone else. I asked him who it was, but he wouldn't tell me."
Thanks to Zhang Chi's personal qualities, Yu Wen believed him. She looked envious and said, "Someone has a crush on you again."
Now, on the surface, a boy from Class 5 is pursuing Jiang Yanan, and now a mysterious boy hiding in the dark appears.
She couldn't help but imagine a bloody scene of two men fighting for one woman.
Yu Wen opened the box and found a few cookies inside. Unlike ordinary cookies, these cookies were heart-shaped.
"So thoughtful." Yu Wen likes these little gadgets.
Jiang Yanan also thought so, she said generously:
"Wenwen, try it."
Yu Wen subconsciously picked up a piece, but when she was about to take a bite, she suddenly caught a glimpse of the squad leader Huang Zhongfei.
She hesitated.
The heart-shaped cookies represent love. If she eats the cookies, doesn’t that mean she accepts the love of others
Doesn't that mean that she betrayed the monitor
'No, I, Yu Wen, am definitely not that kind of superficial girl. I will be loyal to love, support my husband and raise my children...'
She put down the iron box and said solemnly: "Yanan, forget it, I shouldn't eat it."
Jiang Yanan was confused, but she didn't think much about it and asked Shen Qing'e again, and the other party also didn't eat.
She had no choice but to put the box away and decided to keep it as a treasure. After all, heart-shaped cookies were relatively rare.
When Duan Shigang, who was behind him, noticed this, a triumphant smile appeared on his face.
South side of the classroom.
"Xia Xia, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon." Chen Siyu was a little happy.
"Yes, three days off." Bai Yuxia answered her while writing the test paper.
The Dragon Boat Festival happens to be on Monday, so combined with the two-day weekend, you can have fun for three days at a time.
Chen Siyu: "Not only is it a holiday, I heard that No. 4 Middle School will also hold a Dragon Boat Festival event."
Now it was Bai Yuxia's turn to be confused, "What kind of activities can be held during the Dragon Boat Festival?"
For students, being able to get a rice dumpling is already pretty good.
Chen Siyu was mysterious: "It was said that there will be fun activities on Friday afternoon, but I don't know the details."
The two of them were talking in whispers, while Jiang Ning was playing with a piece of wood in his seat.
He was holding a carving knife, which looked like it was made of just steel and there was nothing special about it.
In fact, this is a magic weapon that Jiang Ning specially searched for materials and refined. This knife can conduct spiritual power and can even be used as a flying sword.
However, because Jiang Ning had refined it individually inside, the speed of conducting spiritual power was extremely low, and he designed it this way on purpose.
In this way, he can mobilize his spiritual power and use the knife to carve wood to exercise his control over his own spiritual power. The effect is better than nothing, right
While he was writing, Xue Yuantong got tired of playing with his phone and lay down to rest his eyes.
After a while, Jiang Ning found that she was staring at him.
Glancing sideways, Xue Yuantong saw him without avoiding his gaze. She rested her head on her arms with her little face facing him.
"Jiang Ning." Xue Yuantong called softly.
"Um."
"Jiang Ning." she called again.
Jiang Ning: “Hmm?”
Xue Yuantong called out several times in succession, without saying what the matter was, just looking at him with clear eyes.
One of the two people calls out the name and the other answers.
After repeating this seven or eight times, Jiang Ning uttered a few words: "You are so stupid."
Xue Yuantong was extremely happy, his childish face still had a lively smile: "Hehe, you lose!"
Jiang Ning: "What's the comparison?"
"You don't understand." She said stupidly.
…
During the leisurely chat, several figures appeared at the front door of the classroom.
Wang Longlong quickly patted Ma Shicheng, and in an instant, Ma Shicheng completed the process of collecting the phone.
The classmates looked over and saw several familiar faces coming, including Director Wang from the Security Department, Director Yan, the grade leader, and Gao Heshuai.
Guo Kunnan was frightened to death and couldn't help but worry:
"Fuck, they're not going to collect your cell phone, are they?"
Hu Jun, Lu Qiqi and the others were also extremely worried. This attack was more sudden than the last one and there was no time to prepare.
Once your phone is taken away, don’t expect to get it back this semester.
Such a tragic situation is unbearable for high school students.
Ma Shicheng said calmly: "Probably not."
Guo Kunnan: "How do you know?"
Ma Shicheng glanced at the men and said, "They didn't bring metal detectors."
After the words fell, Director Wang shouted in a powerful voice: "Attention all students, if you have knives on you, turn them in!"
"You are not allowed to bring any of these, including the telescopic utility knives you use."
"Hand it over now, or I'll punish you if I find you with knives!"
Director Yan also gave a few warnings.
After their threats, the students realized the seriousness of the situation and quickly handed in their knives, especially Huang Yuzhu, who handed in three knives. This caused Director Wang to look at him a few more times and gave him a special label.
After collecting the knives, Director Wang went to the back row to randomly check the students.
He shot several people in a row but didn't find any knife, so he led his men away from Class 8.
The students breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, they didn’t collect cell phones. Otherwise, today would have been a terrible day and countless people would have suffered.
Chen Siyu turned around and asked in confusion: "Why are you putting away the knives? Some knives are clearly for cutting paper."
Bai Yuxia: "I'm afraid something unexpected will happen. If there is a conflict between classmates, they might resort to knife fighting when their emotions get heated."
Jiang Ning: "It's easy to have big problems after surgery. There were a lot of such things in the past."
Bai Yuxia understood: "That's good. The school is thinking about our safety."
Chen Siyu inquired: "Jiang Ning, when you were in school, did you ever encounter anyone who used a knife?"
Jiang Ning thought back and said, "I didn't see it then. It was only a few years before that."
He entered junior high school in 2011. Although the town's middle school was relatively chaotic and there were many students fighting, they all used bench legs, bricks, and iron bars. It was rare to see students using knives.
Jiang Ning said: "I don't know why No. 4 Middle School checked knives, but I also checked them in junior high school, so I know the reason."
Chen Siyu was interested: "Why?"
Bai Yuxia looked at it together, curious about the reason.
Jiang Ning recounted: "There was a student in our school before. He was a bad boy and liked to bully others."
"He sat in the front row, and there was a boy at the back who was often bullied by him."
"Then, one evening during self-study, the boy at the back of his desk used a box cutter to play with the back of his neck."
As he spoke, Jiang Ning picked up the carving knife and demonstrated the action of cutting the throat.
Bai Yuxia was secretly shocked by the skillful movements. For some reason, she felt that the knife fit perfectly in Jiang Ning's hand.
"At first he was just gesturing for fun, and when the students around him saw it, they all laughed. The student in the front row heard it, and he turned around suddenly, and his neck was scratched."
He briefly described the blood splattering and the death he suffered after being sent to the hospital.
The three girls' faces changed when they heard this, and they felt a little scared.
When Chen Siyu thought of that scene, she felt her body go limp and she had no strength left.
Jiang Ning naturally put away the carving knife: "I guess the school confiscated the knives for this reason."
Bai Yuxia turned around, and Jiang Ning's performance just now emerged in her mind.
She discovered a detail: when Jiang Ning was narrating the story, whether he was gesturing with a knife or accidentally cutting his throat at the end and the blood spurting out, Jiang Ning just narrated calmly from beginning to end, and his expression did not change at all.
"The reaction is too calm, isn't it supposed to be like this?" Bai Yuxia was confused. If anyone else told this story, there would always be some emotional changes.
Jiang Ning gave her the feeling that he was used to this kind of scene and it was difficult for him to get upset.
"So skilled..."
…
During the evening self-study break.
The weather was too hot, so Shan Kaiquan went to the back row to relax. He gave up his habit of exercising during breaks.
Ever since his confession failed, his spirit had dissipated, and his motivation to work hard had slackened for the most part, and he could only barely maintain his state of mind.
Zhang Chi ran to the back row and asked, "Brother Nan, where did you buy those mint Oreos?"
Guo Kunnan had a headache. Damn, how could he think Oreos with toothpaste in them taste good
"Go to the Yucai Supermarket at the door, a big bag is 13 yuan." Shan Kaiquan answered for him.
Hearing the huge sum of 13 yuan, Zhang Chi stopped talking.
This is his daily living expenses.
"Brother Nan, will you buy it tonight? I will bring you plum candy next time?" Zhang Chi asked.
Shan Kaiquan is drunk. How can he have the nerve to say that a piece of plum candy is not worth a dime
Guo Kunnan: "I'll take a look next time."
Zhang Chi started talking about sex and discussing business experience with several people. He sounded very experienced.
The people in the back row listened to him talking nonsense.
Zhang Chi recently chats with a strong woman he met on QQ every day to discuss business experiences. As long as he can put those experiences to good use, there will be no problem in achieving Oreo freedom in the future.
Zhang Chi said confidently: "As far as I'm concerned, when I graduate, I will definitely not work part-time, but start my own business directly."
Wang Longlong glanced at him and said, "Business is not good these days. Look at the small shops in front of the school. How many have closed down?"
Zhang Chi looked disdainful and said in a condescending tone:
"That's because they don't have the ability and don't know how to adapt. In this day and age, why are they still using traditional methods to open a store?"
Shan Kaiquan acted like a monkey and said, "What do you think, Brother Chi?"
Zhang Chi: "We can't learn from the small cities. Those are outdated and obsolete, just like smart phones have replaced keypad phones. To do business, we should learn from big cities."
"For example, if something is popular in a big city, we will thoroughly understand it, figure out how to operate it, and then move it to a small place to replicate their successful methods. Do you understand what I mean?"
He spoke eloquently, like an eloquent project manager, with a tone of instruction.
Wang Longlong was particularly displeased with him and deliberately made up an excuse:
"That's not right. My second uncle opened a milk tea shop in the village, and my parents didn't recognize the loss."
Shan Kaiquan used his brain and talked nonsense:
"Last year, my cousin opened a haunted house in the village and scared three old men to death. I had a feast for several days."
Hu Jun followed up by saying, “My uncle opened an unmanned vending machine in the village, but the next day the machine was gone.”
…
Thursday, third class in the morning.
Gao Heshuai, who was at the podium, spoke eloquently and his saliva was flying.
The students in the first row suffered a lot, but the students in the last row were having a great time.
There was a bottle of ice cola on Wu Xiaoqi's desk. Many small water droplets condensed on the bottle and kept sliding down.
There was a pile of strange-smelling broad beans on his right hand. In his left hand, he held a comic book of Slam Dunk, reading it with longing, especially the line "Coach, I want to play basketball". The excited Wu Xiaoqi wanted to perform a dribbling trick in class.
Gao Heshuai had noticed Wu Xiaoqi a long time ago. When he was giving a lecture, he would shoot sinister glances at him from time to time.
The classmates felt that something was wrong.
The next moment, Gao Heshuai dropped the chalk and walked towards the back row step by step.
Wu Xiaoqi didn't notice anything until a dark shadow blocked his sight.
Gao Heshuai snatched the comic book away, but because his movements were too violent, Wu Xiaoqi's strange-tasting broad beans were scattered.
Gao Heshuai scolded him harshly: "I've taken the book away. Come back to me during the holidays to get it back!"
Wu Xiaoqi waved his hand and said calmly, "No need, I'll buy another one after school."
Hearing this, Gao Heshuai was furious and shouted, "Go stand at the back!"
After sanctioning Wu Xiaoqi, Gao Heshuai continued his lecture.
Gao Heshuai looked more like an experienced detective than a teacher, as he quickly discovered the students who were making small movements.
"Duan Shigang, you answer this question." he asked.
Duan Shigang was shocked. He was distracted just now and didn't listen to the class at all. How could he know
He was just about to say no, but from his observation, students who answered questions incorrectly would be punished by standing there for a whole class if they were unlucky, but if they were lucky, they might only have to stand there for a few minutes.
Duan Shigang was just about to say no when he suddenly saw that his deskmate Pang Jiao was actually offering him help. Pang Jiao forced a shabby smile on her huge face and wrote a C with her short, thick, hairy fingers.
Duan Shigang felt a sense of warmth in his surprise. He originally thought that since he had a fight with Pang Jiao, the other party must hold a grudge against him. Who could have thought that she would come to his aid in times of need
"She's a nice person." Duan Shigang couldn't help but feel touched.
Duan Shigang raised his head, looking confident, and said, "I choose C."
Gao Heshuai: "Go stand at the back!"
Duan Shigang was stunned: “?”
Gao Heshuai's eyes widened and he said angrily, "You chose C for a fill-in-the-blank question?"
Duan Shigang and Wu Xiaoqi successfully joined forces.
Gao Heshuai stopped teaching. He stood on the podium and sneered: "Some students don't come to school to study, they come to play."
"Tell me, what's the point of having people like this in school? It's a waste of money!"
These words were harsh and Duan Shigang's face turned black, but he had no way of refutation and could only allow Gao Heshuai to mock him.
Wu Xiaoqi was used to it. He would just close his eyes and go to sleep, ignoring the troubles of the world.
Gao Heshuai laughed at him, "You come to school but don't study. What do you want to do?"
At this time, Cui Yu below shouted: "Some people just don't like to study. No matter how good their grades are, they don't like to study!"
Gao Heshuai: "Are your grades good?"
Cui Yu: “Not good.”
