Zhang Xiaojia felt that a heavy secret was growing in her heart. The most annoying thing was that when she stuttered to explain it to her best friend, she was stunned and asked, "Who is Jiang Hongshao?" Zhang Xiaojia had to emphasize that it was the one who played the guqin in the art performance! Her foodie best friend suddenly realized.
This is actually true. No. 1 Middle School is still very big after all, especially for someone like Jiang Hongshao who deliberately keeps a low profile. Not everyone knows her. At most, some people are amazed by her appearance, but not everyone will ask about her. Only Zhang Xiaojia and her circle who usually like to gossip know what this means.
The friend asked who Cheng Ran was, and Zhang Xiaojia started talking about the guy who confessed to Yang Xia. This guy was known to everyone. But her friend, who loves food, said "Oh..." and said, "The guy who made a bet with the teacher that he would go to No. 1 Middle School and was reported to the whole school..."
Zhang Xiaojia often tells her bestie about her childhood sweetheart Yang Xia in the class, and she always treats it as an interesting anecdote to talk about, with a strong sense of superiority and pride for Yang Xia.
In fact, Cheng Ran was quite good-looking, and Zhang Xiaojia had even paid attention to him secretly when school started. However, after gradually discovering his love for his childhood sweetheart Yang Xia, this kind of thing was just like that. If it was too obvious, it would be easy for others to look down on him.
All this reached its climax at the art performance, Yang Xia rose to the top, Cheng Ran fell to the bottom, and no one was spared. He was also destined to become a loser in everyone's impression of his middle school days, a knight who had the courage to charge, but chose the wrong target.
But... what on earth did I see today
On second thought, Zhang Xiaojia felt that maybe she had seen it wrong. Although she could directly see the area inside the school gate where Cheng Ran was making bulletin boards, which was surrounded by the construction board due to the burst water pipe, and she also saw Cheng Ran and the girl walking out of the construction board together, but she didn't see their faces. Maybe it wasn't Jiang Hongshao, maybe just someone who looked a little similar... After all, she couldn't be 100% sure from her angle at that time.
But even so, it is still somewhat unusual. There is actually a girl making a bulletin board with Cheng Ran. So who is this person
Zhang Xiaojia entered the school the next day with this huge question in mind. She was always suspicious, but it was not easy to ask Cheng Ran directly, because after the art performance incident broke out, the girls who were close to Yang Xia had a common hatred for Cheng Ran and had a cold attitude of collectively banning him. No matter which girl next to Yang Xia Cheng Ran met, he would be looked down upon.
Therefore, Zhang Xiaojia didn't really believe that Jiang Hongshao, a girl admired by all the other girls, would be with Cheng Ran after school. No matter from which angle, Cheng Ran was not the type to get along with her!
Others may not know, but Zhang Xiaojia, who is well-informed, has heard that Jiang Hongshao is picked up and dropped off by a special person every day. It is not her father anyway. I think girls who can be picked up and dropped off by a driver must have a high status at that time. There are also many rumors about Jiang Hongshao, saying that her father is a high-ranking official in the government compound, which is low-key and mysterious.
In short, it wasn’t Jiang Hongshao. Jiang Hongshao was always picked up and dropped off by someone, so how could she possibly take the bus with Cheng Ran!
During the second break, many people would go to the school store to buy water or snacks. Some who had not had breakfast would also go to the rice noodle shops or wonton shops opened by retired teachers in the small corridors to eat something.
Most girls who love food will gather at that place, and even if they don’t buy anything, they will go there for a walk.
Zhang Xiaojia was in the crowd, next to him were Yang Xia, Liu Ying, Yao Beibei and others. Although Liu Ying and Yao Beibei were not in the same class as them, they were from the same compound as Yang Xia. Some of them were from the same unit and studied in No. 1 Middle School. Through introductions, they formed a circle and played together.
Liu Ying is discussing with Yang Xia the answers to the difficult math problems on a set of pre-high school entrance examination papers yesterday. The high school entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and it is only a dozen days away. In the next two weeks, the school will also carry out the final affairs, including the selection and unveiling of the cultural wall... Admission tickets will be issued in the third year of junior high school, and examination locations will be allocated. Teachers basically enter the final stage of teaching at this time, and set up the examination room during the holiday before the exam.
Uncontrollably, the tense atmosphere in the school seemed to become thicker all of a sudden, but the relaxed feeling that one would be liberated from high school once the high school entrance exam was over was also slowly spreading.
At this time, previous events, such as the conflict between Li Zhan and Cheng Ran over whether or not he could get into No. 1 High School, were downplayed and no one mentioned them anymore.
It seemed that concentrating on studying for the college entrance examination was the most urgent matter at the moment, but Zhang Xiaojia still felt uneasy. Finally, she couldn't help but interrupt the girls' discussion on the topic and said, "I didn't leave so early after school yesterday... I found Cheng Ran and a girl making a bulletin board..."
I don’t know if it was because of the mention of the taboo word “Cheng Ran”, but the atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward.
Liu Ying didn't care, "Oh?" She said, "Cheng Ran also built a cultural wall... Then who is he and your classmate? It's not tiring to work with a man and a woman... Your class teacher is quite humane..."
Yang Xia didn't say anything.
Zhang Xiaojia said, "The key is that the person with him is Yu Xiao, but recently Yu Xiao hasn't been with him after school. Yesterday, I suddenly found a girl helping Cheng Ran..."
Yao Beibei and Liu Ying were both a little surprised, and Yang Xia raised his eyebrows.
Liu Ying asked in surprise, "Who is it?"
Yao Beibei said, "Who is so blind as to help him?"
"No, I can't see it clearly." Zhang Xiaojia felt that even if she told her guess, she would probably be greeted with a barrage of criticism that no one would believe.
Yao Beibei grinned, "Zhang Xiaojia, stop imagining! I thought Cheng Ran would have an underground love affair... Don't you know that his mother Xu Lan is soft on the outside but strong on the inside! She can chase Cheng Ran all over the compound with just a clothes hanger! We have seen him looking pitiful since we were little! Maybe it was the girl from the class next to him who made the bulletin board, and he borrowed something from her or something like that."
"Is it possible..." Zhang Xiaojia bit her lip, "Maybe..."
Yang Xia, who had been silent since Cheng Ran was mentioned, looked at Zhang Xiaojia at this time. Her bright eyes, which usually made people stay away from her, were a little distracted, and her delicate brows were slightly furrowed.
"Is...?"
