In the stationery store.
"A total of one hundred and seventy-three five yuan, cash or mobile phone?"
"cell phone."
"Then scan this."
Shen Xingruo scanned the QR code and entered the payment amount, but her hands and feet were cold, and there was no response during fingerprint verification.
After spending a while at the cash register, after paying the bill, she pushed open the glass door.
The head-on wind poured into the collar, and it was wet and cold.
The figure under the tree had disappeared.
That sentence kept spinning in her mind like a mantra, until now, she couldn't concentrate.
She absently dragged her suitcase and walked towards Shuxiang Road where Mingli was.
Shuxiang Road is a narrow and long one-way street, with evergreen camphor planted on both sides of the road. On the right side of the road is the Mingli campus. From the gap in the fence, you can see the school playground and basketball court. On the left are some stores and Mingli’s dormitory .
It was only when Shen Xingruo walked closer that he realized that Mingli's dormitory building was not in the school, but opposite the school.
With Lu Shan's previous management, the transfer process is not complicated.
In the office of the political group of the second year of high school, Shen Xingruo met the new head teacher.
The new head teacher is Wang Youfu, who looks forty or fifty years old, not too tall, fat, and looks amiable.
He moved a little slowly and spent five minutes looking for the form.
He also spoke slowly, and the thermos teapot did not leave his hand, "Don't worry, our Mingli is no worse than Huize No. 1 Middle School."
Shen Xingruo flipped through the stationery she just bought.
...whatever is a pencil.
"I graduated from Nancheng Normal University back then. At that time, I was assigned, you know. I went to Huize first after graduation. Huize No. 1 Middle School was a school for migrant workers at that time. The teachers and teaching were relatively ordinary. At the same level, the salary is still low. It is because of the support of the Huize government in the past 20 to 30 years that it has developed rapidly."
Shen Xingruo found a black water-based pen on the desk and began to fill in the form.
"I am very familiar with Huize No. 1 Middle School. Your current principal, Shen Zhibo, was assigned to Huize No. 1 Middle School with me. We used to live in the staff dormitory, and he was next to me. You said his level And as the headmaster…”
Shen Xingruo: "..."
"Mingli is different. Mingli still has a bit of background. It was established in the Republic of China. It was called the Provincial High School at that time. Over the years, there have been many academicians and leadership teams."
While filling out the form, she said "hmm" a few times.
Wang Youfu didn't know what he had left out, so he held the thermos and thought about it for a long time, and then he added, "The salary is still high."
Shen Xingruo's hand holding the pen paused.
After filling out the form, Wang Youfu took Shen Xingruo to the Academic Affairs Office at the west end of the corridor.
After the formalities were completed, she got an application form required for admission.
Wang Youfu seemed to be very idle, and even put on a posture that he wanted to take her to pick up the school uniform and dormitory supplies.
Let the class teacher lead the way, and I don't know if I can have dinner today, Shen Xingruo politely declined.
Coming out of the Academic Affairs Office, Shen Xingruo first went to the library to get his school uniform, and then went to the dormitory.
Mingli's dormitory area includes male and female dormitory buildings connected together in a U-shaped structure, a row of faculty and staff dormitories, and a cafeteria.
When Shen Xingruo arrived at bedroom 403 on the fourth floor, the bedroom door was wide open.
"Quiet, wait for me! I'll be done copying it soon!" The girl in a powder sweater leaned over the table and wrote quickly.
"I'm just wearing a coat, it's okay if you write slowly." Someone responded, the voice seemed to come from the bathroom.
The girl sitting near the door was curling her bangs with a curling iron, and she remembered something, she leaned back and shouted towards the bathroom: "Huh? Ah Jing, did Wang Youfu say you have to hand in the social practice form? I forgot Sealed."
"When I went to him today, he didn't say he would accept it, but you'd better cover it up, and it might be accepted in a few days."
"School is really annoying. Who will do social practice after Chinese New Year? It's all formalism!" The curler was upset and threw the mirror on the table.
Taking advantage of this gap in speaking, Shen Xingruo knocked on the door panel.
The girl named Ah Jing just came out of the bathroom, and the curlers and powder sweater also looked at the door by coincidence.
"Hello, I'm Shen Xingruo, and I'll live here from now on."
The air was silent for a while.
The three people in the dormitory stared at Shen Xingruo for about ten seconds, you looked at me, I looked at you, exchanging blank and blank eyes with each other.
"Oh... you are a new transfer student, right?" The girl who just came out of the bathroom realized, "I heard Teacher Wang mention it today, and I almost forgot."
She hurried forward to welcome the new roommate who was left hanging at the door, and introduced herself embarrassedly: "Hello, my name is Zhai Jiajing."
The other two haven't come back to their senses, and their faces are full of disbelief that "fuck our class has a transfer student here".
After Zhai Jiajing led him into the dormitory, the smoke powder sweater reluctantly put away the stunned and shocked face, and adjusted his glasses, "Well, hello, my name is Shi Qin."
Another voice came from behind: "Listen."
Shen Xingruo looked back.
"Her name is Li Ting, Muzi Li." Zhai Jiajing explained in time.
oh. so.
Shen Xingruo nodded.
Ordinary people who first arrived in an unfamiliar environment would inevitably feel unfamiliar with the aborigines and feel embarrassed in their hearts, but if Shen Xing was not an ordinary person, embarrassment would be embarrassment for others.
She quietly made the bed and tidied the table.
The three people in the dormitory were doing their own things, but they couldn't help but look at her secretly.
One corner of the quilt couldn't be flattened, and it curled up arrogantly, just like the arrogant arrogant Lu family who didn't know how to be polite.
Shen Xingruo stood there thinking for a few seconds, took a stack of books, and pressed them straight up.
Zhai Jiajing couldn't stand it any longer, and asked hesitantly, "Well... do you need help?"
Shen Xingruo subconsciously wanted to refuse, but when the words came to his lips, they turned into thank you again.
It's strange, Shen Xingruo seems to have a special attraction, standing there with a clear and cold look makes people unconsciously want to get close.
Within two minutes, Shi Qin also put aside her winter vacation homework and offered to help her tidy up her desk.
Li Ting didn't lean over, and kept playing with his mobile phone, but from the corner of his eye, he glanced at the opposite side from time to time.
With the help of Zhai Jiajing and Shi Qin, Shen Xingruo finally healed the diehard in the corner of the quilt.
As soon as he stood up straight, Pei Yue's call came.
She glanced at the caller ID and walked out.
Shi Qin poked his head and looked out, making sure that Shen Xingruo had gone far away, then turned around and sighed: "Shen Xingruo looks so good-looking! I was dumbfounded when she just came in!"
Zhai Jiajing: "She has a very good temperament, like a dancer."
Shi Qin: "Yes, there is a very special feeling! Very fairy!"
Li Ting snorted and didn't care, "You're exaggerating too much, I don't think Chen Zhu from class three is as good-looking."
"It's much prettier than Chen Zhu. I can't appreciate Chen Zhu." Shi Qin has turned into Shen Xingruo's little girl, "Ah, Jing Jing! Will she agree to having dinner with her? She seems to have A little cold!"
Zhai Jiajing: "Wait for her to come back and ask."
Li Ting was speechless, plucked the bangs he had just made, got up with his schoolbag, "I'm going out."
After Shen Xingruo finished making the phone call, he ran into Li Ting at the stairs.
The two nodded indifferently and did not speak.
Li Ting didn't seem to like her too much.
This is also normal, after all, the Lu family is still as dissatisfied with her as Lu Xingyan.
In the evening, Shen Xingruo and Shi Qin Di Jiajing had dinner together.
Shi Qin was a bit talkative, and kept talking while eating.
Walking back to bed outside the school after dinner, she didn't stop talking, all the way from talking about the conditions of Mingli's dormitory to the fact that the previous grade leader cheated on her third-year English teacher and was caught on the spot.
The night wind was a bit chilly, and through a protective fence, the sound of joking and running in the school also drifted out along the wind.
"... I really can't see that a very serious veteran cadre usually got together with the English teacher! When he was in the first year of high school, he liked to target our class. He always kept our class admonishing us during the morning exercises. If it wasn't for There is a boy in our class..." Shi Qin glanced in the direction of the basketball court inadvertently, then paused, "Eh? Lu Xingyan?"
Zhai Jiajing looked up.
Shi Qin stretched his neck, and poked in from the gap in the railing, "It's true!"
"Xingruo, that's him, the one in the black T-shirt dribbling, see?" Shi Qin pointed to Shen Xingruo, "There was a grade leader who insisted that our class's exercises were not up to standard. He also punished our class to stay after school and do it ten times, and he got into a fight with our grade leader! Then the boys in our class also threw their school uniforms, and asked the grade leader to demonstrate first. I almost started fighting with the physical education teacher who came to help the grade leader!"
Shen Xingruo imagined the scene of chickens pecking at each other, but he didn't speak or show any expression.
"It was only after that time that the grade leader knew that our class was not something to be messed with. By the way, Lu Xingyan... just this boy, he is also in Class 1. He is very famous in our school. I have been with him since the first year of high school." Ben, there were a lot of girls who liked him back then."
Shen Xingruo: "What about you?"
Shi Qin: "Me? I don't like this one."
Shen Xingruo glanced at her.
Although I wear glasses, my eyesight is fine.
Shi Qin continued: "We moved to the second teaching class last semester, and some high school freshmen came to the second teaching class and pretended to pass by our class. It's really convincing. If you want to see a handsome guy, you only look at the handsome guy, and you have to go to the toilet by the way. We have to wait in line to go to the bathroom after class!"
Zhai Jiajing didn't speak for a while, and suddenly asked, "Xing Ruo, do you want to go inside the school and take a look?"
"Need not-"
Before Shen Xingruo could finish speaking, there was a sudden "bang" beside him!
The basketball brushed against her arm and bounced three feet high, bounced a few times, then rolled to the bottom of the tree and played dead.
Both Zhai Jiajing and Shi Qin were taken aback!
Xu Chengzhou: "Fuck, the ball was thrown out of school, you took the little blue pill!"
Lu Xingyan didn't answer, pulled off the hair tie on his forehead, panted and looked outside the fence.
That figure was somewhat familiar.
A boy narrowed his eyes and asked, "Did it just fall off the tree?"
It was half dark, and the searchlights on the basketball court were full of light. It was clear from the outside to the inside, but blurred from the inside to the outside.
Soon someone echoed, "It seems to be, there are some girls over there, just let them throw it in."
So the boys waved at the outer wall of the school and shouted: "Beauty! Do me a favor! Throw the ball in!"
Zhai Jiajing subconsciously went to pick up the basketball under the tree.
The gap in the protective fence was not enough to squeeze the ball in. She looked at the height of the fence and was in trouble for a while, "How do I throw this over..."
Shi Qin: "Just throw it up... Forget it, you don't look like you can throw a ball, give it to me, I'll do it."
But before Shi Qin reached out, Shen Xingruo took the ball from Zhai Jiajing and threw it straight into—
in the trash.
Zhai Jiajing and Shi Qin were both startled.
"this… "
"Let's go." Shen Xingruo remained expressionless.
