Chengdu.
In the ancient Han Dynasty-style teaching complex of No. 10 Middle School, the sun sets early in winter and it quickly becomes dark. The incandescent lights in the teaching building light up and many students gather in the guardrail corridor outside the classroom, which makes the U-shaped teaching building always have a low-frequency buzzing sound.
As the year draws to a close, Christmas Eve and Christmas have just passed. Looking back on this year, Chengdu No. 10 Middle School has also reaped a lot. Not to mention the awards it has won in major competitions this year, this year's admission rate to key universities is 85% for science and 82% for liberal arts. In addition, the names of students from Chengdu No. 10 Middle School can be seen at many provincial youth activities. This school still stands as the leading high school in the province, attracting the envy, eagerness, or yearning eyes of countless families.
The time pointed to half past six, and a bus that everyone had been waiting for drove into the square under the buildings through the opened main gate.
The student representatives who attended the Provincial Youth Day Conference are back.
At this time, the U-shaped teaching building became more and more crowded.
The Youth Day Conference was held before and was reported by provincial and municipal television stations and various media. At this time, it was still a very rare thing to appear on television and in newspapers, especially to see classmates from the same high school on TV.
Of course, the students of Chengdu No. 10 Middle School are almost accustomed to the praise from the society. After all, this is the social atmosphere in Chengdu. Wherever they go, when they talk about studying at Chengdu No. 10 Middle School, the eyes of relatives and friends will be different. There is a potential sense of superiority and pride, which all turn into a sense of belonging and honor.
This sense of superiority will generally only be restrained and respected from the bottom of the heart in front of people who are better than oneself and in the same school.
The person who got out of the car at this time was probably someone that most students could not fault or approve of.
The crowd on the Hui-shaped teaching building was even more dense, forming a crowded scene.
"Zhang Guangxi, Tang Ziqi, and Jiang Hongshao are back..."
"It was reported on TV and in newspapers. When the camera turned over, Jiang Hongshao was giving a speech on the stage... My mom pointed at the provincial TV station and asked me, "This is a classmate from Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School. Do I know him?" How could I not know him
"The organizers of this Youth Day conference are really cunning. They deliberately chose a beautiful speaker to give a speech... They achieved their goal. The photo of her was published in the newspaper. She became famous and was called a goddess... Now she has a lot of competitors!"
"The competition is already fierce, there are already many people who have a crush on her... It doesn't matter, one more person won't make a difference."
"Sichuan TV reported on this Youth Day event. Not long ago, a reporter from Chengdu TV came to our school to interview Zhu Xu..."
While these conversations were going on in the building, a voice suddenly came from the building opposite, "Zhang Guangxi! Trash!"
The shout was very abrupt and very eye-catching amid the buzzing background sound.
The person who called out was a student who had just walked out of the bus. They were probably friends who liked to joke with each other. The student named Zhang Guangxi waved his hand helplessly towards the teaching building. This caused a burst of laughter from the teaching building.
But the laughter became even louder, and people started to make jokes and follow suit, as if competing to see who had the loudest voice.
“Lu Yuxuan!”
"Lai Sinian!..."
These were not all names of students who had returned from below. Some of the students in the opposite building were called out in panic, "Who is calling me, psycho?"
Until suddenly a voice interrupted, with hands cupped around the mouth, "I like you!"
This is pure spoof.
But he couldn't help but shout at the bottom of his voice, "Jiang Hongshao!"
“Ouch!”
A loud bang broke out.
Then someone followed suit and said, "Jiang Hongshao!"
"Jiang Hongshao!", "Jiang Hongshao!", "Jiang Hongshao!"... The sounds gradually became rhythmic and expanded from the initial chaotic shouting.
Then it turned into an overwhelming sound of all the students in the U-shaped building.
Jiang Hongshao! Jiang Hongshao! Jiang Hongshao!
There were also those who kept turning on and off the lights in classrooms and corridors, which added fuel to the fire and often triggered even bigger roars.
Because the building of Chengdu No. 10 Middle School is within the first ring of the city center, and it is relatively the tallest building in the surrounding area, and the residential buildings around it are much lower. The loud noise even shook the residential buildings in the surrounding area, and the cars on the road all stopped. The scene was similar to the explosion and roar of the military base camp in ancient times, which was spectacular.
If you didn't know, you would have thought there was a prison riot.
Then the head teachers of each class came out together, probably to prevent students from rioting, and shouted at the students of each class to go into the classroom one by one, and only then did they stop the farce.
Since then, every Christmas Eve or the eve of graduation, Chengdu No. 10 Middle School has had a tradition that has never been broken... In ancient times, it was called "Yingxiao", and now it is called "Hualou".
Later, countless students who attended this school experienced similar events, so they began to research the history, and the original origin has become various legends... It has a long history.
…
The yelling rules at Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School during this era were not as lenient as those in later generations. This farce was eventually suppressed by all the class teachers who came out on the scene under the instruction of the principal.
The head teacher or subject teachers of each class are conducting ideological education.
But this kind of thing has been ingrained into the students' bones, and they would make a fuss almost every year afterwards, and the school would turn a blind eye to it afterwards.
The next day, during class, the whole school was discussing the incident caused by Jiang Hongshao's return. In fact, it was unnecessary to mention that people had already heard of her. After all, she had been in the newspapers and on TV at that time, which was enough to make her a celebrity in the whole school.
Another celebrity who appeared in the same period as her was Zhu Xu, who also entered people's field of vision.
The main thing was that two people appeared one after the other. Jiang Hongshao appeared on the news program of the provincial TV station. Although this satellite TV station was only reporting on the Youth Day news and it was only a shot, Jiang Hongshao appeared on behalf of Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School. The effect caused at this time was undoubtedly huge.
Zhu Xu, on the other hand, appeared on the second program of Chengdu TV Station.
Compared with Jiang Hongshao's stunning glimpse, Chengdu TV Station 2 this time sent reporters to interview the "Most Beautiful Campus Cultural Wall Competition" event organized by the Provincial Propaganda Department, Education Bureau and many other units. Zhu Xu was the representative nominated by Chengdu No. 10 Middle School.
This kind of thing naturally spread among the students.
"Zhu Xu was on TV yesterday. Did you see it? He was interviewed about his cultural wall, 'Traditional Culture'. He talked about his inspiration for about ten minutes..."
At this time, as long as you enter Chengdu No. 10 Middle School, you can see the cultural wall created by Zhu Xu on the large wall on the left. There are many sections, which are pictures and texts about traditional culture. The characters are jumping and the characters are vivid. In addition to beautiful and vigorous calligraphy, Zhu Xu also demonstrated his painting skills, painting bamboo forests and ancient houses with Chengdu characteristics, poetry avenues, etc. From the perspective of what a student can do, it is indeed extraordinary.
Combined with the cultural wall that the students of No. 10 Middle School saw when they went to school, and the reports from Chengdu TV Station 2, Zhu Xu also became famous.
"Zhu Xu's cultural wall was nominated by Chengdu No. 10 Middle School to participate in the 'Provincial Most Beautiful Campus Cultural Wall Selection'. It seems that the reporter from Chengdu TV Station 2 confirmed with the principal first and came to report on it. It is estimated that it will definitely win the first place."
"Our Chengdu No. 10 Middle School must take first place in the cultural wall competition, but the Foreign Languages College and Mianshan Middle School might make a breakthrough... It's hard to say, these two schools are trying to catch up in all aspects..."
While people were still expressing their opinions, someone came in with a newspaper. He waved the newspaper and pointed at the content on it. He was surprised when he entered the class. "Today's Chengdu Metropolitan Newspaper announced the results of the selection of the most beautiful campus cultural wall... Zhu Xu is second!"
The cultural wall created by Zhu Xu was visible to the entire school. In addition, a TV station made a special trip to report and interview the event, so Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School once believed that the award for the "Most Beautiful Campus Cultural Wall" was basically a win.
Mainly, this incident was reported by a TV reporter. Zhu Xu also introduced the origin and original intention of Chengdu No. 10 Middle School and his cultural wall in front of the camera. It is rumored that the principal of No. 10 Middle School has good media relations, so no one doubts that this is simply a promotion for No. 10 Middle School by Chengdu Channel 2.
Of course, the final cultural wall champion will definitely go to No. 10 Middle School.
The whole school knew about it, and of course it wasn’t a big award, but it was something that was expected.
It's just that when something that was expected suddenly deviates, and the result that was originally thought to be natural turns out to be the opposite of what it should be, it is naturally surprising.
The results of the selection of the most beautiful cultural wall have been announced.
The first place was not won by Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School, but by Shanhai City's No. 1 Middle School.
The name of the person who got first place is written in big letters on it.
Cheng Ran.
The work is "Comet Hale-Bopp".
…
Who the hell is this person!
How come a monster suddenly appeared
If Zhu Xu had won first place, No. 10 Middle School might not have had anything to be proud of.
But this established first place was unexpectedly snatched away by some inexplicable school and some other people, which caused an uproar in Rongcheng No. 10 Middle School.
"He's not the top ten middle school in Rongcheng... This Cheng Ran is from Shanhai City, a small city!"
"Shanhai No. 1 Middle School is relatively famous in the area. It's probably a provincial key school."
"No matter how important it is, there is Mianshan Key School? There is Tangwai Key School? These two schools can't beat us. This time, the middle school in Shanhai City actually surpassed us."
"Be calm and modest. The sea embraces all rivers... it's just a cultural wall."
"Why are you so calm? The main thing is that Zhu Xu was on TV, but in the end, he was not ranked first. We in No. 10 Middle School don't want to lose face..."
In Class 5, a group of students were discussing the Chengdu Metropolitan Newspaper.
Jiang Qincheng, who was sitting in a row away from the group of students, whispered to her deskmate Jiang Hongshao, "Hongshao, you have been smiling and listening to them since just now. You used to study in Shanhai City. Do you know that person?"
"Ah..." Jiang Hongshao turned around and nodded, "I know him."
Jiang Qincheng's eyes widened, "You are indeed very powerful... You even know this person... What does this person look like? Who is he?"
Jiang Hongshao looked out the window, perhaps because she was thinking of the stories that happened in the mountains and seas, and a slight smile played at the corners of her lips.
Jiang Qincheng thought that no matter how people talked about this girl, or what she did, those people guaranteed that they had never seen a side of her like this... Even she was a little stunned.
As she looked at her, Jiang Hongshao smiled gracefully, with a half-joking and carefree attitude.
"He... is the brightest star in the night sky."
