"Jiang Ning, how about you be the chemistry class representative?"
Guo Ran put down the disposable paper cup and looked over with a smile.
The pure water in the cup sways gently, the amplitude of the fluctuation becomes smaller and smaller, and finally approaches stillness.
There were only two people in the office.
Time seemed to stand still, and then suddenly rolled back and flowed backwards. Jiang Ning suddenly recalled the past. How long ago was that
Teacher Guo Ran also handed me a glass of water and looked at me with a smile.
At that time, Jiang Ning was just a student who suddenly came to the city from a remote town.
He is inferior, timid, poor and full of shortcomings.
It was under such circumstances that Guo Ran chose him as the chemistry class representative.
That time it was sympathy, this time, it should be gratitude.
Jiang Ning looked at him and asked, "Is there any benefit in being a class representative?"
Guo Ran was stunned. She didn't expect that the student would actually bargain with her.
Fortunately, Guo Ran was quick-witted. She pressed her fingers on her cheek, tilted her head slightly, and replied:
"I can give you some snacks. There are pine nuts, almonds, pecans, dried mango, and beef jerky. Do you want some?"
"Yes." Jiang Ning felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.
"Okay then." Guo Ran clapped his hands and solemnly announced:
"From now on, you will be the chemistry class representative of Class 8, Grade 1."
"This is your reward." Guo Ran opened the cabinet on his desk and took out a white handbag which was filled with things.
Jiang Ning did not refuse. He had eaten Guo Ran's snacks countless times.
"When I come back from vacation, I will go to the class to clear your name."
The class representative still needs to notify the class, otherwise Jiang Ning’s words alone may not be effective.
After deciding on the class representative, Guo Ran asked about Jiang Ning's situation. She thought she still had some of the temperament of a caring older sister, otherwise she would not have chosen to be a teacher.
When the class bell rang, Jiang Ning said goodbye and left.
Guo Ran handed the snacks to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning took a few steps and looked at the student's back as he was about to leave. Guo Ran said:
"Thank you for yesterday... Jiang Ning."
Only by experiencing it herself would she understand how dangerous that moment yesterday was. The woman held a dagger in her hand, and the hatred to avenge her daughter seemed to overwhelm her.
She hid in bed and was scared all night last night.
If Jiang Ning's voice had not been heard at that time, she could not have imagined the consequences.
She was extremely grateful to Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning didn't look back. He turned his back to Teacher Guo Ran and raised the snacks in his hand:
"You already thanked me."
Having said that, he turned and left.
Guo Ran leaned back in her chair, smiling bitterly. She always felt that Jiang Ning didn't look like a high school student at all. Instead, he had an indescribable carefree and indifferent quality.
Jiang Ning returned to the classroom carrying snacks. As soon as he came in, the music teacher followed.
Ma Shicheng was immediately excited when he saw the bag in Jiang Ning's hand:
"What's in this?"
"snack."
"Did you go to the mini-mart?"
"No, it was given to me by Teacher Guo Ran." Jiang Ning said.
Ma Shicheng waved his hand in front of Jiang Ning and asked doubtfully:
"Are you ill?"
He made his diagnosis: "You are very ill."
Geng Lu in front pricked up her ears. She heard the conversation between the two clearly. She trusted Jiang Ning very much, but she also found it unbelievable. For a moment, she didn't know whether she should believe Jiang Ning or not.
Jiang Ning opened the bag and asked, "Look at these snacks. Are they sold in the supermarket next door?"
Ma Shicheng took a few glances and found that it was true. He had never seen the snacks inside. He often went to small supermarkets and was sure that the small supermarket at the door did not sell them.
Ma Shichang rolled his eyes and said:
"I don't believe it unless you let me taste it."
"Look at what you have accomplished." Everyone could see clearly what he was thinking. Jiang Ning gave him two packets.
Ma Shicheng couldn't wait to open the snacks.
On the podium, the music teacher spoke in a loud voice as she taught everyone pronunciation techniques:
"When you sing, you must use the technique of abdominal pronunciation so that the volume can be raised. Do you hear me speak differently from others?"
"Next, I will teach you how to pronounce with your abdomen."
Although the music teacher is not as pretty as Guo Ran, she is also an urban beauty, and her voice is powerful and pleasant.
Ma Shicheng felt very happy while watching the music teacher giving the lecture.
After finishing the snacks, he was still not satisfied and wanted to ask Jiang Ning for two more, but he thought it was too shameless.
"Did Teacher Guo Ran really give it to you?" Ma Shicheng still didn't believe it. He thought that it must have been given to Jiang Ning by someone else.
Jiang Ning nodded, his face calm.
Ma Shicheng looked at his calm expression, thought about it carefully, and believed it for the most part. He had never seen Jiang Ning lie before.
He suddenly felt a little blocked, and even the snacks didn't taste good anymore.
Geng Lu was thinking about writing a small note and passing it over when she suddenly felt someone touch her back.
Jiang Ning gave her two bags of snacks.
Jiang Ning did not give any gifts to other people. After all, they were gifts from Teacher Guo Ran, and he would not give them away easily.
…
After the second class, Jiang Ning rode his bike to take Xue Yuantong home.
In the fields below the dam, the wheat is golden, and the wheat stalks are dancing in the breeze.
Xue Yuantong sat sideways on the back seat of the mountain bike. She had her hair tied in a high ponytail today, and her calves looked white and tender under her black shorts.
"Jiang Ning, we have seven days off. Are you going to leave?"
"Leaving where?"
"Go to my parents, or go back to the village."
"No, my parents are out of town, it's a bit far." Jiang Ning said, "It doesn't matter whether I go back to the village or not, there aren't many people anyway."
"Oh." Xue Yuantong became happy. Before, she was wondering whether Jiang Ning would leave during the short holiday.
If Jiang Ning was gone, she would be a bit bored.
In the past month, she has been with Jiang Ning every day, who picks her up and drops her off, and helps her buy and cut vegetables for her. She has never experienced such a happy life before.
Thinking of this, Xue Yuantong's brain heated up and he said seriously:
"Jiang Ning, if you are broke in the future, I will rent my house to you for free without charging any rent."
“Are water and electricity included?”
"Bag!"
"Oh, then I have no money, and I must have no food to eat. Will you take care of my food?"
Xue Yuantong gritted his teeth and said:
"If I eat a bite of rice, there must be a bite of rice for you."
"Really?" Jiang Ning noticed Xue Yuantong's determination at this moment. No matter what the future holds, at least at this moment, she really wants to give herself food to eat.
Jiang Ning suddenly asked: "Are you afraid that I will leave?"
Xue Yuantong's body trembled and she almost fell off, but fortunately Jiang Ning rode the bike very steadily, and she held on to the hem of Jiang Ning's clothes tightly with both hands.
She realized that she was holding Jiang Ning and quickly let go of his hand, as if she was anxious to cut off her relationship with Jiang Ning.
"Who's afraid?"
"Humph, just go if you want to. My house is easy to rent anyway. I won't keep you for 200 yuan!"
"You come back so late every night and keep people awake. No one else will rent a house to you. It's only because I'm kind that I can tolerate you." She threatened Jiang Ning.
"Well, what you said makes sense." Jiang Ning agreed.
"That's good to know. There aren't many kind-hearted people like me left."
Xue Yuantong thought to himself, if you dare to run away, I won't give you extra lessons.
In a blink of an eye, she denied it. After eating so many meals with Jiang Ning, she still needed to replenish her energy.
At most, the tuition he received before was downgraded to the level of a 985 university, and then to that of a 211 university.
