The world is full of ups and downs. In the calmness we perceive every day, in fact, the world is always in ups and downs every moment. Every day there is life and death, success and failure, happiness and sadness, flowers blooming and leaves withering, and countless great things blooming and disappearing on the earth.
Amid the hustle and bustle in the port city, no one could have guessed that the person who started it was more often bent over his desk, writing furiously to finish his winter vacation homework.
This Spring Festival was spent in a state of complete oblivion. After returning to Shanhai, there were basically non-stop parties. When he arrived in Rongcheng, he was still making arrangements for Luo Linwen and Qin Xizhen's matters. So suddenly, when Cheng Ran opened his schoolbag and found it full of test papers, he suddenly felt like he couldn't hold back his urine.
At first, when he had free time, he only did math problems that he personally liked.
I almost forgot that I have other homework!
Although No. 10 Middle School is usually lenient, that is basically a kind of tolerance for the very self-conscious students among them. The so-called self-consciousness means completing the tests that should be completed and not missing a single question that should be answered. Especially during holidays, it is not an exaggeration to say that the amount of homework is a mountain of books and a sea of questions. The difference lies in whether you have strong time management skills to make all this become... easy.
In short, the reputation of No. 10 Middle School as the "amusement park and love field" in the province is based on your unique talent and ability to take thousands of questions and papers as a piece of cake, or to be so "elegant" that you clearly did your homework until midnight yesterday and still said with a smile the next day that you finished a certain game overnight.
There was no way he could be elegant anymore, Cheng Ran felt very aggrieved now.
I have already done everything important, why do I still have to hand in homework
But life didn't give him the chance to defend himself. You have been reborn, you have come here, you have been admitted to No. 10 Middle School, do you want a conduct score? Do you want to invite your parents? Cheng Ran, you have been in a problematic state recently. Let me ask you one last question: do you want to hand in your homework
Cheng Ran did the questions with resentment and answered them in a daze. He was immersed in the sea of books and questions.
He received calls from Chen Muyi and Qin Xizhen, and also called friends from Shanhai such as Yu Xiao and Yang Xia. Yu Xiao was more resentful, as he did not have enough fun during the Spring Festival and complained that he left too early. Yang Xia, on the other hand, asked if it was cold in Chengdu, if it was fun back home, and so on.
The consolation from friends, even the news that Gangcheng Dadong Group changed its banner, Luo Yue resigned as chairman, and was under investigation for bribery, could not save Cheng Ran, whose brain was overflowing with data while doing the test. He now urgently needed someone to rescue him from the dizziness.
Then the phone next to the table lit up. Cheng Ran tilted his head and took a look. The phone number was very familiar. It was from Jiang Hongshao.
Cheng Ran pressed the answer button and quickly put the phone to his ear. Lao Jiang's voice came from the phone, "Cheng Ran... I'm back in Chengdu. I'm out for fun today!"
Jiang Hongshao went to the capital Beijing where her family lived during the Spring Festival, and she thought it was time to return to Chengdu.
Of course, these are not the key points. The key point is that Jiang Hongshao's voice on the phone is soft and sticky, especially the last syllable that highlights the key point. It sounds like the seductive voice in the role-playing they used to play, "Sir, come out and play tonight!"
As if he was under a soul attack, Cheng Ran began to wonder how to play, where to play, whether he could go home at night, and whether it would be a world for the two of them.
"Ah, then it's settled. Let's go out for dinner this afternoon."
Soon another call came in. Cheng Ran frowned and picked up the phone. It was Marco's voice, "Cheng Ran, Jiang Ge is back. She told you, right? We agreed to get together today to welcome her. Now we're discussing what to eat. Do you have any recommendations...?"
Cheng Ran said, "You..."
"Yes, it's me, Su Hongdou, Luo Wei, Shu Jiexi and us... Do you have any recommendations? If not, I'll ask Luo Wei and the others... I'll let you know when I've decided on a place."
"… "
"good."
Finally, the venue was set at a Chinese restaurant in the city center. When Cheng Ran arrived, Jiang Hongshao and the others were already seated. As soon as Cheng Ran entered the room, he saw Lao Jiang sitting by the window in the private room. He hadn't seen Lao Jiang during the Spring Festival, and he always had a feeling of indebtedness before meeting him. This feeling may appear in people you care about no matter how much experience you have.
The room was relatively warm, so everyone who came in took off their coats. Jiang Hongshao was wearing a horn-button coat today, which was hanging on the hanger. She was resting her elbows on the table, fiddling with a pair of chopsticks with her fingertips, with her back straight, chatting and laughing with the two girls, Su Hongdou and Marco. She was wearing a red stand-up collar slim sweater, which made her figure and waist look exquisite.
When I entered the door, I looked at Cheng Ran.
Her eyebrows curved and her mouth moved slightly.
Cheng Ran recognized the shape of her mouth.
"stupid."
Cheng Ran also made the lip movements.
“Rebound.”
This was a wonderful experience. Jiang Hongshao and her bestie were talking about girls' topics, and Cheng Ran was also greeting everyone when he came in. But privately, the two of them were communicating in another language...
When the two of them were talking, they were both seriously immersed in the conversation, but even when they were creating a topic or listening to other people's topics, when their eyes met, maybe a frown, a glare, or a silent flick of the lips... all made this farewell so "interesting".
There are really thousands of kinds of people in the world. Don't pursue them like floating clouds. If a person is like a rainbow, you will only know his existence when you meet him.
…
During the meal, everyone talked about what they saw and heard during the Spring Festival, interesting things, and their experiences and life in the past year, which was very beautiful and refreshing.
As dinner was about to end, everyone started talking about where to go. Su Hongdou said, "They said we should go to the Tianxing Dojo cyberspace to play games. There's a very popular game called Warcraft. Let's go play it. It won't be a problem for Hongshao to go home before 10 o'clock."
Everyone nodded, "Yes, yes!"
Luo Wei was still skeptical, "Do you girls know how to play?"
Marco was the first to say, "I usually play games at home. I've played so many games, including Diablo, StarCraft, and StarCraft. I've played them all over the place. I also play Warcraft..."
Shu Jiexi said, "I mean Brother Jiang..."
Jiang Hongshao waved her hand, "As for me... I can watch you guys play first and learn from the side."
Cheng Ran, on the other hand, squinted his eyes, with a gleam in his eyes.
They just mentioned their own territory, right
Moreover, it seemed that he had suddenly found a battlefield where he could defeat Jiang Hongshao and make her worship him.
Just now, this girl dared to call her "stupid" from a distance. Cheng Ran felt that it was time to let Jiang Hongshao know how powerful a reborn person is.
…
So a group of people came out after dinner and headed straight for Tianxing Gym.
The second floor of Tianxing Daoguan has been doing a booming business since its opening. There would definitely be no seats during peak hours, but this time was the meal time, and when they came, there were still vacant computers. As expected, Xie Feibai was here. Now Tianxing Daoguan has two vice presidents. Xie Feibai is in charge of the second floor and the Internet cafe, and Jiang Zhou is in charge of the board game bar on the first floor and coordinating the restaurant's logistics. The division of labor between the two sides is clear.
When Cheng Ran was not in Rongcheng, Xie Feibai would come over from time to time to keep an eye on him.
He was a little stunned when he saw Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao, and greeted them. However, Xie Feibai did not reveal Cheng Ran's true identity, which was inevitable. He also acted very calmly. After all, he and Jiang Hongshao were in the same school before, so they knew each other. "Cheng Ran, Jiang Hongshao, come over to my place and play together... Just play as you like."
"We still have to pay, otherwise it will be difficult to come here in the future. Just give us the membership card price."
Xie Feibai said, "I'll give you one each. You can register later and come over to say your name and use it."
This episode made Luo Wei, Shu Jiexi and the others look at Cheng Ran with a sidelong glance, "So he's an acquaintance..."
Cheng Ran smiled casually, "Yeah, it's opened by a friend."
Everyone took the Internet card and went to the corresponding seats. Jiang Hongshao came last and spread her hands. Cheng Ran gave her a card. But she took it but didn't rush to get on the plane. She just stared at Cheng Ran with a smile.
Cheng Ran felt a little uncomfortable when he showed it to her and stared at it. He instinctively sensed danger and always felt that she seemed to be guessing or calculating something.
Cheng Ran felt that he had to interrupt her right away, "Let's go..."
Jiang Hongshao asked, "Tianxing Dojo... is it opened by you?"
Cheng Ran brushed past her calmly, "What are you talking about?"
Jiang Hongshao turned around and said, "She didn't change her expression... She didn't show any surprise at all that I said that... Well, it's confirmed. If you're not the boss behind this, then you have something to do with it."
Cheng Ran froze and turned around.
The girl smiled as she looked at him, "Great, I guessed right."
Cheng Ran really wanted to smash the keyboard next to him.
Play with a hammer
Qishier just boasted to me that he had published a chapter of "Judgment" and a chapter of "Tianxing War Chronicle", saying that he had been updating for three consecutive years. I think he must be getting carried away. Everyone told him in unison that I had not stopped updating in the past few decades!
