The students in Class 4 of Grade 9 found that they could not accurately describe Cheng Ran, and their inherent impression of Cheng Ran was overturned.
In the past, people knew him as a person who was not outstanding. His family background was not outstanding, and his grades were not outstanding. He could not be the protagonist who was cheered by the crowd and surrounded by screaming girls on the basketball court every Friday, and he was always a substitute who shrank on the edge of the football field. The only thing he was said to be Yang Xia's childhood sweetheart, which could cause topics among girls and be envied by boys. Apart from that, he was probably an ordinary person in their impression of middle school.
But in the last period of middle school, his peaceful life was suddenly disturbed. First, he confronted Li Zhan in class, then he confessed his love to Yang Xia at a cultural performance, and then on Tuesday, he took the lead in fighting back against the violent bullying of Jiang Bo and his group in Class 5.
Jiang Bo and his group are now in a state of panic, unable to protect themselves. Zhang Ming has invited their parents to come, and it is not just Cheng Ran's matter, but also some previous fights. Now Zhang Ming intends to settle the old and new accounts together, and a major demerit is a foregone conclusion. If there is any more bad behavior, I am afraid they will say goodbye to school. In fact, students like Jiang Bo are just a little arrogant at ordinary times. In front of Zhang Ming, who has many ways to control these junior high school students, they are enough to be disciplined and obedient, and their personalities may even change.
What left the deepest impression on people was Cheng Ran's failure to confess his love to Yang Xia. It would probably become a very vivid memory of their high school years, and it might be a landmark event many years later.
This was also the cause of the series of events in the physical education class. Jiang Bo was interested in Yang Xia and wanted to take this opportunity to teach Cheng Ran a lesson, while at the same time showing goodwill to Yang Xia. As a result, he fell into Cheng Ran's trap.
"If Zhang Ming hadn't been there, he would have been in great trouble!"
"If Cheng Ran had run a little slower, it would have been a different story."
This is a place that some people still feel a lingering fear when they recall it.
However, the incident involving Cheng Ran was still passed over as a near miss by Class 4. As for how shocking and abnormal Cheng Ran's behavior was in this matter, it was just like how ordinary people perceive an accidental event: they might be surprised, but it would not change their opinion of this person.
But in the end, all this is just part of the chaos before the high school entrance examination.
The upcoming separation and the change of fate actually affect everyone involved. Under this premise, the usual school life is just a kind of adjustment, and all the noise will eventually return to peace.
However, since then, the discussion about Cheng Ran in the girls' circle has involuntarily increased, and of course, the main focus is still on denigrating him.
"Cheng Ran is a guy who hasn't woken up yet... It's normal that he didn't catch up with Yang Xia. I don't like people who are still dreaming and haven't woken up yet."
"He's not bad looking, but so what? I think men should be more mature!"
"Not mature enough! So ignorant! You will lose a lot..."
Yang Xia still maintained her attitude of ignoring Cheng Ran. Sometimes, she felt that she could feel Cheng Ran's gaze on her, and she would feel a pleasure in punishing him slightly.
He was still the boy who always looked at her eagerly when she was little, never letting her worry, often making her angry. When she was little, she saw him following her everywhere, and she wanted to beat him up and kick him away, or run into the garden to throw him away and watch him stare blankly. When she was in middle school, she was still very clear about scolding him.
And he actually dared to do that to her at the art performance, and said those words that embarrassed her, and ruined her vision of her last days in high school... She would let him know the seriousness of the matter. It would be best if he was more sensible and mature... Then he would understand that some things, once destroyed, can never go back to the beginning.
Sometimes Yang Xia would also consider the reality. The reality was that Cheng Ran would definitely not be able to continue studying in the high school department of No. 1 Middle School. Their days of seeing each other every day would eventually end.
So we drifted further and further apart in high school... Then what about college...
They will completely walk out of each other's lives.
…
Of course, the Jiang Bo incident also resulted in a different expression for the boys in Class Four when they looked at Cheng Ran from then on. Some of the tall and strong guys who usually spoke in a tough tone would involuntarily lower their voices when Cheng Ran passed by.
Even squad leader Liu Ming found an opportunity to ask carefully, smiling, "Cheng Ran, is your cultural wall newspaper going well... Otherwise, I'll just find someone else. Li Bo, who was supposed to do it a while ago, got sick, so I asked you temporarily... If you can't finish it, I'll ask Li Bo and the others..."
Cheng Ran responded, "No, it's very convenient... No need, I'm working on it."
Liu Ming also observed Cheng Ran's expression and asked again and again. After confirming that Cheng Ran had no objection or resistance, he made a firm expression, saying, "I asked you and you refused."
Cheng Ran suddenly felt like he had become the boss of the class... This was totally against his original intention... After being reborn, he had never thought about becoming the boss of the class... Why are you guys being so cautious... Can you still be good classmates
But speaking of the blackboard newspaper, Cheng Ran hasn't been there for the past two days, so he still has to catch up today. Of course, he has to finish the scheduled review plan first.
In today's class, he did two sets of comprehensive science papers in a row. Basically, he finished all the homework assigned for each subject that day in class. Finally, the chemistry teacher assigned several important questions, including experimental questions about the reaction of acids, bases and indicators, and the analysis of the solubility curve of substances... These three questions were a little difficult. After the school bell rang, everyone left the classroom one after another and took the questions home to solve. Cheng Ran stayed for ten more minutes before finishing.
Finally he packed up his schoolbag, walked out of the teaching building and headed towards the cultural wall.
He would finish his review plan during class every day, and then check for any gaps and fill them in based on the content assigned by the teacher. Basically, his day was very fulfilling. After school, there was no one at home, so he would just take it as a leisure time to paint on the cultural wall... Perhaps the days that are considered difficult in the eyes of all students at this stage are simply fulfilling and satisfying for Cheng Ran.
He walked over to the building board and entered the cultural wall through the gap. He saw a stool beside the wall. Cheng Ran had seen this stool in the guard room. Jiang Hongshao, who had borrowed the stool from there, was standing on it. She had a red and blue woven plastic cloth in her hand, one corner of which was hanging on the left, and she was holding the other corner to hang it on the nail on the right side of the wall.
She stood on tiptoe in her sky-blue sneakers, and between her well-arched feet, a glimpse of her snow-white ankles glimpsed between her boat socks and pencil-straight jeans. She wore a loose light blue T-shirt. Her hands, which were holding the plastic sheet, were stretched out flat, and her slender fingers were twisting a corner to hook the nail of the wire. She didn't look like she was working at all, but rather had a kind of elegance like playing the piano.
The evening light passed through the shade of the trees, and a mist of light with red particles sprinkled on her body. Her profile seemed to blend into a painting. Her thick black hair hung down like a waterfall, and two pointed ears poked out from the blackness, a bit like the prototype of the elf image in later games.
At that moment, Cheng Ran suddenly had some reverie. What would happen if the stool was unstable and this figure fell towards him
But reality is ultimately not subject to personal will.
Jiang Hongshao quickly hung up the plastic sheet without any clumsiness, jumped off the stool, and turned to face Cheng Ran.
There were several fingerprints on her face, like a little tiger. Her originally clean clothes and pants were also stained. But her eyes, reflecting the red light of the setting sun, became even more blood-red and enchanting. Her voice was friendly, "Oh, you're here... I finally had the heart to care about your unfinished blackboard newspaper these past two days... I saw that you didn't come, and the weather has been unpredictable recently. I was afraid that the watercolor would lose its originality, so I went to the stationery store to cut a piece of plastic cloth to protect the layout..."
Looking at the dirty Jiang Hongshao in front of him.
Cheng Ran's heart was touched.
This is really…
Do you have to be so virtuous...
