The ginkgo leaves are almost gone, leaving only bare branches. The winter in Chengdu is not easy. The weather in the southwest may be as hot as a steamer in the summer, but the winter is like a war.
The damp and cold wind is often penetrating. The clothes we wear are like city walls. We must be careful to prevent the penetrating cold wind from sneaking in through every hole in the clothes. Once the cold air gathers, it will occupy the place and stay for a long time, and then expand to other areas of the body.
There were also cases where, during the flag-raising ceremony on the playground on Mondays, all the students in the school wore sweaters under their school uniforms, but there was one tough guy who only wore a T-shirt under his school uniform. This caused a sensation and heated discussion for a while, and everyone rushed to watch.
Life in No. 10 Middle School is like this. In fact, there is not so much excitement, just routine life.
As the final exams are approaching, many school activities have been suspended, and the badminton league spontaneously organized by Jiang Hongshao's badminton club has become the only extracurricular activity at present.
Of course, whenever she competes, the crowds of spectators are relatively the largest.
In view of Jiang Hongshao's strength, there are still many people who want to challenge her. Among them, there are Zhang Ruiguo, Li Yakun and other "masters" in the grade, but in the end, their strength is inferior to her. Jiang Hongshao still maintains the highest winning rate. This has also indirectly motivated some students. Whether they are seeking to learn from a teacher or practicing hard in seclusion, some people probably want to defeat her and make a breakthrough in her heart.
In fact, many people know that Jiang Hongshao has a unyielding side to her personality. If they could really defeat her in terms of ball skills, she might be impressed. This method might not be a roundabout way to increase her favorability.
However, so far, everyone who has tried has failed and been defeated by her without exception. Many people, after trying their best, feel inferior and are completely convinced.
Cheng Ran was also one of the many "failed" people. When Jiang Hongshao looked at him while holding the racket, the calmness and confidence she showed was exactly the same as the calmness and confidence she had when facing other people who posed no threat.
This made Cheng Ran feel a little itchy. He thought of punishing her by pulling her to practice one-on-one with him so that he could teach her some tricks. That way, his own skills might improve by leaps and bounds. But when he thought that even if there was a slight chance of beating her, it was all taught by her, Cheng Ran gave up the idea.
It's better to lose the battle than the person.
…
As for Qin Qian, her family is said to have recovered. After all, she is the girl in her grade who often performs well at art festivals, and many people pay attention to her every move. In fact, people are like this too. They will spontaneously get close to those who have good grades, good looks, or special talents in certain areas. This is the simplest way of emulating others.
But after all the things that happened, the rumors about Guo Yi and Qin Qian gradually stopped being mentioned. Everyone probably knew that Guo Yi was done. There were many such things among high school students. Boys and girls developed feelings for each other, which attracted people's discussion for a while, but after a while, it was over. The budding of feelings during student period, breaking up and getting back together was the general trend of the world.
But Cheng Ran often heard some gossip from Zhang Ping in the classroom, "Guo Yi looked for Qin Qian in the playground some time ago, but she didn't even look at him. Guo Yi was completely devastated. He knew he was finished this time, so he became sensible. But the two broke up so thoroughly that some people who usually liked Qin Qian began to show up. Zhao Hang from Class 5 wrote her a love letter, but she didn't reply. Liu Yaoyu, the top student in Class 4, also revealed that he liked Qin Qian. Some girls in their class were making a fuss in the corridor, and it was so noisy that I had to yell at them to calm them down."
Cheng Ran saw Zhang Ping patting his chest and knew that those so-called "two shouts" were probably the result of suppression from the other party.
Cheng Ran wanted to scold Zhang Ping for following gossip all day, but then he thought that this was actually the atmosphere of most middle schools at that time. They were all young and had heavy schoolwork. In the breaks between classes, besides playing games, chasing stars and discussing topics, they also watched who was a good match and asked about these things. Everyone had times when they were running laps during physical education class and would speed up involuntarily as long as they got to the side where the girls gathered. There were also times when they would see the girl walking in front of them after school and their voices would unconsciously increase, and they would talk loudly to the people around them.
Qin Qian would still go to Tianxing Dojo to work at fixed times, even though Cheng Ran had not shown up there during this period.
He didn't feel that he owed her anything, or that she owed him anything. After hearing that Qin Qian's family factory had an accident because of Fu Long, Cheng Ran wanted to use her father to provide evidence and ammunition to attack Lei Wei Group.
Qin Qian went to work at Tianxing Dojo, just to show her a way to cheer up and not give up on herself. But now the storm has come to an end, and the lives of those who were temporarily thrown up by the waves still fall back into the tide. The impact and influence will take some time to digest.
The end of the semester is approaching and the vacation is about to arrive. Most students are preparing for the final exams and looking forward to the vacation. Many people have already made plans for summer vacation fun in advance.
The last class of the morning was physical education for Qin Qian's class. During the last 20 minutes of free time, she went to the library. She usually likes to read novels, of course, more romantic novels. The library of No. 10 Middle School is better in this regard, and there are many such "extracurricular novels". Of course, Qin Qian is reading a novel by Yasunari Kawabata, "Snow Country", and she is reading the part about Shimamura and Komako coming to watch the bird-chasing festival on February 14. The book is quite depressing. Qin Qian read a paragraph yesterday and continued today.
She was just wearing a green open-neck sweater and velvet casual pants, sitting by the window reading a book. Several groups of boys had passed by, and some even came in to take a look and then left.
Of course, Qin Qian was not indifferent to those things. She focused more on reading.
Meanwhile, Cheng Ran, whose lab class ended early, happened to walk into the library. Sometimes when physical education and lab classes ended early, Cheng Ran would come to the library to read books, and sometimes he would gain a lot from it. For example, when he read some cutting-edge science journals, or current affairs predictions about the future, he could always look at the flaws and limitations of people's thinking in analyzing things from a perspective with conclusions. In fact, this kind of reflection is sometimes very interesting, and there is a feeling of using history to guide the present. It's just that this "history" is only the twenty years of his rebirth that he has mastered.
When entering the room, Qin Qian subconsciously raised her head, and her eyes met with Cheng Ran who was looking into the room.
At that moment, she felt her back tense up.
Suddenly, something was flowing out of her mind. Just like that evening, when she rejected Guo Yi's advances, and after the argument, Guo Yi got in the car and dropped her off in the park, and Cheng Ran suddenly appeared.
She remembered that she was crying because of Cheng Ran's words, but strangely, she couldn't remember what Cheng Ran scolded her for, except for one thing that was very clear.
Well, what he said about supporting himself...
Of course, she was not stupid, and she knew that Cheng Ran's words in that context were actually meant to provoke her... But who knew whether Cheng Ran, whose family owned the Fulong Company and who didn't look like a rich second-generation at all, really had such thoughts deep down in his heart
Qin Qian felt her thoughts suddenly pulled away from the book in front of her. Her index finger and thumb, which were gripping the pages of the book, stopped because she saw Cheng Ran walking towards her.
Then Cheng Ran came up to him and raised his hand to greet him, "You are here too."
"Yeah." Qin Qian kept looking up and nodded and smiled at him, but she knew that her smile was a little unnatural...
After waving his hand, Cheng Ran passed by Qin Qian and went straight to the bookcase behind her. He looked for a while, took out a few books, and then... sat down a few tables away from her.
Qin Qian was very conspicuous, and some boys flipping through books in the library would glance at her from time to time.
Amid these gazes, Qin Qian seemed to become somewhat detached.
She was reading a book, but she could also feel that Cheng Ran was sitting at the table less than ten steps diagonally opposite her.
Qin Qian looked out the window and could see the only way to the library's main entrance.
This means that anyone who comes or passes by there can see her reading by the window at a glance.
Qin Qian withdrew her gaze from the gate and the road. When she looked at Cheng Ran again, her eyes had curved and a faint smile inadvertently appeared at the corners of her mouth.
He came in on purpose...
At the same time, she felt a little contemptuous.
Haha, what’s the difference between them and those who pretend to read books
