Through The Strait Gates

Chapter 4: conflict

Views:

Xu Xilin is the secretary of the official residence group and the school basketball team. He is usually very loyal. He often takes advantage of his status to help his classmates occupy the basketball court. As long as he wants to make friends with people, no matter if they are male or female, there is no one they can't make friends with. He is almost them. It was the first time that the core characters in the group of silly big guys in the last three rows of the class had eaten someone else's inexplicable face.

"Nervous disease." Xu Xilin thought to himself.

His good popularity didn't come from being cheap, and he didn't have the habit of sticking a hot face to a cold butt. The little goodwill he had for Dou Xun at the beginning suddenly disappeared.

Xu Xilin divided the surname Dou into the "freak who doesn't know how to lift up".

And Dou Xun, I am afraid he is indeed an out-and-out freak.

If someone else's loneliness is also called "not gregarious", then Dou Xun's loneliness may belong to "unfit species".

For a whole week, apart from being forcibly named to answer class questions, Dou Xun never saw any living creature in the class speak seriously.

Dou Xun sits in the most remote corner of the classroom every day, leaving early in the morning and going late at night.

He never looks up when he walks, and he doesn't look directly at people. Except in class, he always wears headphones to his ears to isolate the surrounding noise sources. In the beginning, when someone met him on campus or in the corridor, they would greet him in a friendly way, but every time it was difficult to get the eyes of the old man, and gradually he was ignored.

The boys in the class, led by Xu Xilin, did not like Dou Xun.

The last session on Thursday afternoon was a self-study class. Xu Xilin texted the school team coach under the desk and made an appointment for the basketball court in advance. He chose this day on purpose because Cai Jing had no class on Thursday night.

At this time, smartphones were still not hatched in the mother's womb, and the unintelligent ones did not have time to popularize among middle school students. The main communication method among students was still passing small notes.

Xu Xilin threw the pinched note to Wu Tao, the sports committee member of their class: "Did you bring the ball?"

Wu Tao is the best in physical education among ordinary students, and the best in culture class among physical education students. Because of his extraordinary performance in the senior high school entrance examination, he became the only special student in the experimental class. However, because he likes to play and does not like to study, he has to deal with heavy workloads every day. The training was very uncomfortable in the experimental class, and it was only when he took the lead to play that he liked Xu Xilin and the others.

Wu Tao's note quickly came back: "No, I still seem to have brought it."

Yan's full name is "Yu Yan", and she is a real girl, but this girl is 1.78 meters tall and weighs 78 kilograms—just twice as thin as the thinnest girl in their class, and there is no girl's school uniform that she can wear. As for the model, I had to order the men's model, and played with Xu Xilin and the others every day regardless of gender.

Cai Jing helplessly passed a round of notes to the two of them, then turned around and clicked on Xu Xilin's empty biology paper: "I have to collect it after class, write it quickly!"

In the third year of high school, they have to study at night. This is the last semester when they can play ball after school. Xu Xilin's heart had already flown to the basketball court, and he absently picked out a few genetic multiple-choice questions to write. It was basically a mentally handicapped permutation and combination problem. It was stinky and long, and he couldn't even read the title.

Xu Xilin idly flipped the pen for a while, then he tore off a small note and wrote: "Lao Cai and grandpa are going, you can call someone else, we will be three-on-three at halftime."

After writing, he found that Cai Jingzheng, who was upright, looked at him with a serious face, Xu Xilin quickly grinned and made a promise: "The last one."

This time, he didn't feel embarrassed to use Cai Jing, and threw the paper ball directly, hitting Wu Tao's head.

Wu Tao gestured at him with a middle finger, lowered his head and wrote something, and threw it back with a tooth for a tooth. Unfortunately, the head was not well aligned, and the paper ball flew out lightly, accidentally deviating from the established route and crashing into the corner Dou Xun's desk. superior.

Xu Xilin: "..."

"You two, let's have a meeting," Cai Jing sighed, dropped the pen helplessly, turned around and called Dou Xun in a low voice, "Dou Xun... That classmate, can you pass me the paper ball on your desk?"

Dou Xun's grandson must have heard it, but he deliberately ignored him.

Xu Xilin frowned unhappily. There is a very loyal side of his temperament, he likes whoever likes him, but he also has a spoiled side - whoever hates him is an idiot.

When Cai Jing saw him like that, he knew that the young master was about to explode, so he quickly held him down: "Forget it, I'll get it."

Cai Jing looked around and found that there was no sign of the teacher peeping, so he moved the chair slightly, said "I'm sorry" politely, and stretched out his arms to reach for the paper ball on Dou Xun's table.

But Dou Xun suddenly grabbed the ball of paper and threw it into the trash can in the corner.

Cai Jing's character was slow and soft, and he was stunned for a while, but Xu Xilin's anger suddenly came up, and he stood up abruptly.

Who knew that Qilixiang just came in from the door, and a pair of dead fish eyes were about to fall out of the window: "Xu Xilin, what are you standing for?"

Cai Jing grabbed Xu Xilin's wrist.

Dou Xun raised his head expressionlessly, and looked at Xu Xilin, his eyes were rich in content, both sarcastic and provocative.

"It's okay, teacher, I dropped a pen on the ground, and he helped me find it." After Cai Jing finished speaking, he hurriedly dragged Xu Xilin, "Sit down quickly."

Xu Xilin gave Dou Xun a grim look, and was pulled back by Cai Jing reluctantly.

Qilixiang walked around them suspiciously for a few laps. Seeing that the bear children were no longer making a fuss, she walked behind the desk and sat down to write a lesson plan on her "Da Da" high heels.

After a while, Cai Jing carefully handed over a note and touched Xu Xilin's arm: "Brother Tao wrote a new one for you, okay, it's so cold, why are you so angry?"

Xu Xilin didn't say a word, took Wu Tao's small note and thought, "If there is a chance, I must clean him up."

Dou Xun took out a tissue, dipped it in some water, and wiped the place of the note three times. Wu Tao's "heroic appearance" leaning against the toilet door that day was still vivid in his mind.

"Trash." Dou Xun thought to himself, and then he raised his hand, and the half-wet paper ball crossed a parabola in the air and landed precisely in the wastebasket in the corner.

This slight movement disturbed Qilixiang on the podium, Qilixiang glanced at it and saw Dou Xun put the earphones back on her ears again, and bowed her head like no one else, she suddenly had a headache.

Qilixiang was short-handed, and received the shopping card of Dou Xun's father, Dou Junliang. In the past few days, Dou Xun is also worried about this. He has searched for the teachers and class leaders of various subjects in private, but who is Dou Xun? I don't buy it, like a non-violent and non-cooperative hedgehog.

The tip of Qilixiang's pen paused, and then tapped a girl in the front row: "Luo Bing, come out with me."

The composition of the class committee of the first class is complex. There are sports committee members like Wu Tao who have no knowledge and skills, Xu Xilin who secretly doesn't take teachers seriously, and there are teachers like Luo Bing who will be regarded as a good monitor even if they fart. .

The next day, the breakout exercise was dismissed, and Luo Bing went to Xu Xilin: "Can you do me a favor?"

Before Xu Xilin could speak, two bastards, Wu Tao and Lao Cheng, slapped him from left to right and pushed him forward. Xu Xilin was caught off guard and did not stand firm, and almost hit Luo Bing.

Xu Xilin: "Fuck, are you two sick?"

Wu Tao and Lao Cheng laughed like a pair of long-necked wild ducks. The whole class knew that Luo Bing had a crush on Xu Xilin.

Xu Xilin actually had no idea about Luo Bing, but for an adolescent boy, the thought of "this girl likes me" is already exciting enough. Luo Bing blushed, and he was suddenly at a loss for no apparent reason: "Okay. ... what is it, you say."

Qilixiang assigned Luo Bing a task and asked her to talk to Dou Xun and help him integrate into the class as soon as possible.

Lao Cheng frowned after hearing this: "Qilixiang didn't let Brother Tao sit on that head, right? How can you let a girl do this?"

Of course, Qilixiang didn't specifically look for a girl. She actually said this to every class cadre, including Xu Xilin and Wu Tao, but no one except Luo Bing paid any attention to her.

"Fuck off, sit down." Wu Tao sprayed the old face first, then turned to Luo Bing, "Don't pay attention to Qilixiang, I suspect that kid is her illegitimate child."

Luo Bing looked embarrassed and glanced at Xu Xilin as if asking for help. Xu Xilin and Wu Tao had the same meaning, and when he was about to speak, Cai Jing suddenly pulled him by the side.

Xu Xilin was inexplicable at first, but then quickly remembered—by the way, their class has one scholarship every year, a total of 1500, which is not painful to others, but Luo Bing is different, she is a poor student. She is a thin and little girl, and she has a seriously ill mother to take care of at home. She can't go out to help others in the middle of the night like Cai Jing, and this scholarship is submitted by the class teacher.

She dared not ignore Qilixiang's orders.

"That's fine," Xu Xilin said while pinching his nose, "We'll go with you."

There are two sets of inter-class exercises in No. 6 Middle School, one is the general "The Times is Calling", and the other is self-edited by the gymnastics team in the school. The latter Dou Xun does not know and has no plans to learn it. He is like a wooden stake every day. He poked at the end of the team, and when he finished the exercise, he disbanded, and then he quietly left.

When Luo Bing stopped him, Dou Xun didn't stop, just glanced at her lightly.

Luo Bing had to trot to keep up with him, while spitting out the belly draft quickly: "Our school has an inter-class exercise check every Monday, and points will be deducted for irregularities. I think you don't seem to be very good at self-organization. , there is a sports activity tonight, can you spare twenty minutes for our team secretary to teach you?"

Xu Tuanzuo was also shot while lying down, wiping his face like a toothache.

Lao Cheng put his arm around Xu Xilin's neck, pinched his throat and bit his ear: "Can our class secretary teach you?"

Xu Xilin cursed vaguely, reluctantly, but because he knew Luo Bing liked him, he didn't refute her face to face, even reluctantly agreed for her sake.

Who knew that Dou Xun didn't appreciate it, he stopped on the spot and frowned.

Luo Bing said: "It's very simple, you can learn it as soon as you learn it, you..."

"Is it a checkup on Monday?" Dou Xun interrupted her bluntly, "I'll go to the infirmary on Monday to get a leave application, so that it won't delay your scoring."

After speaking, he put his hands in his trouser pockets, turned around and left.

Luo Bing was stunned for a moment, frustrated, her face flushed slightly, but she still refused to give up, she took steps to catch up: "Wait..."

Dou Xun raised his arm without turning his head, intending to wave at her and tell her not to entangle, but Luo Bing was only over one meter five, which was too short in front of Dou Xun, she didn't stop for a while, just knocked. on his swung back elbow.

Dou Xun didn't do it on purpose, but it seemed to others that he was impatient to talk to her and gave the girl an elbow in return.

The young man's elbows were hard, and Luo Bing made him stare at him, and he was stunned for a while.

Dou Xun was also very surprised. He moved his arm a little uncomfortably, feeling that he should say something, but he was not very good at saying an apology. He was a little embarrassed. how to express.

Before he could figure it out, Xu Xilin and the others, who were not far away, caught up.

Xu Xilin took a look, good—the last time it was Cai Jing, this time it was just a little girl, a freak surnamed Dou really knows how to pinch soft persimmons.

He angrily pulled Luo Bing behind him, raised his hand and pushed Dou Xun: "Can you speak human words? Can you handle human affairs?"
