Friday morning.
Zhu Xingyao found the love letter from classmate J in her German book.
This time it was very cool, very short, just her name.
Zhu Xingyao
—September 13, 2007.
Signature: j
So, what does it mean to just write her name? Zhu Xingyao thought and thought, but he couldn't think of what he wanted to say. Li Xixi was very good at answering: "A thousand words can't move me as much as your name. You're playing hard to get!"
Zhu Xingyao: “…”
Playing hard to get? You are so young, why are you playing hard to get
Zhu Xingyao listed this love letter as the most boring one from classmate J.
A long time later, she told Mr. J about this incident. After learning the truth, she put the letter at the top of Mr. J’s shortest love letter list. She thought that he calling her name was a confession, and then she asked him: "Did you cry at that time?"
Mr. J looked at her silently, as if he thought she thought he was too fragile. It was not easy for a man to cry.
He replied: "No, I smoked a cigarette."
Then, she seemed a little disappointed
The next second, she looked up suddenly and said in fear: "You actually smoked in the classroom? If you are caught, you will be punished!"
Mr. J: “…”
The point is not this. The point is that he was really uncomfortable at that time.
The news that Zhu Xingyao was going to apply for the Berlin School of the Arts soon spread throughout the grade, and Lu Ji, who was preparing for the competition, received Zhou Yuan's message.
Zhou Yuan: "Zhu Xingyao is going to Berlin, what will you do?"
Xu Xiangyang sent a text message quickly: "You idiot, you are saying this at this time, do you want Lu Ji to give up the exam?"
Lu Ji stared at his phone interface helplessly, a little annoyed: "Don't talk nonsense, it's impossible to give up the exam, are you stupid? If I give up the exam at this point, what will I become if I send it back?"
Xu Xiangyang coughed and said, "I'm just afraid that you will be carried away by love."
"It's not surprising. It's good for her. This is the path she should take." Lu Ji thought for a moment and said softly, "Germany... is quite far away. It takes almost 20 hours by plane."
Xu Xiangyang asked: "What will you do then?"
Lu Ji lowered his head and scratched the tip of his nose, a little absent-mindedly: "Let's finish the exam first."
A week later.
The physics competition semi-finals ended, and Lu Ji and Xu Xiangyang both made it to the finals. Lu Ji's score was slightly higher than Xu Xiangyang's, and also better than last year's. When the news got back to the school, Cao Shujun and Xie Ya were both very happy.
However, Xu Xiangyang is from Class 1 and Lu Ji is from Class 2.
Xie Ya was obviously happier and more proud. She said modestly, "Lu Ji should have a chance to win first place this time, right?"
Cao Shujun glanced at her and smiled, "It should be fine, but... the monthly exam is coming up soon. He and Xu Xiangyang have missed a lot of classes and review time, so their exam rankings are likely to drop."
"It's hard to say. Lu Ji has a good foundation, and his weak subjects won't necessarily affect his performance. Besides..." Xie Ya stood up holding the lesson plan, wearing a delicate and elegant suit. She looked down at Cao Shujun, "When we divided the classes, I looked at the average scores. Our average score is a few points higher than yours. Xu Xiangyang's foundation is worse than Lu Ji's, so he will definitely not score as well as Lu Ji in the monthly exam. So, your class 1 will be at the bottom in terms of average score. Teacher Cao, pay more attention."
Cao Shujun: “…”
Xie Ya walked in high heels with great momentum.
In No. 1 Middle School, classes are ranked regardless of whether the exam is big or small. The first monthly exam after the subject division was scheduled before the National Day holiday. Cao Shujun was not very willing to be a class teacher at first, but the director insisted on trying a younger generation of class teachers. Moreover, Xie Ya set a good example, and her class always ranked first in every exam and discipline assessment.
Therefore, Cao Shujun was forced to take the position. He had just left school and had just transferred from a student to a class teacher. The students' laziness and democracy were still there. Unlike Xie Ya, his management was very loose.
It turns out.
Sometimes, when dealing with a group of energetic teenagers, you have to be harsh and fierce to subdue them.
You reason with them.
It's useless.
People just treat you as Tang Monk chanting sutras. The saying that strict teachers produce excellent students still makes sense, such as Xie Ya and her class.
Cao Shujun was a little worried about the monthly exam. During the class meeting, he looked at a few boys who were still whispering, and suddenly slammed the table and shouted angrily: "Quiet! Are you deaf and can't hear me?"
There was a sudden silence below, and some people even looked up with a confused look on their faces.
Everyone looked at each other, wondering why Lao Cao suddenly became so fierce
Li Xixi was texting Zhu Xingyao a note and was so frightened that she scribbled the words.
Zhu Xingyao silently closed the German book and pretended to listen to the class meeting carefully.
Cao Shujun said coldly, "The monthly exam is coming up, everyone, pay attention to reviewing. This is the first exam after the division of subjects, everyone should take it seriously. Also, during the break or after the monthly exam, Zhang Sheng should get the registration form for the school sports meet as soon as possible. If you have good hands and legs, be more active and sign up."
Good hands and good legs...
Are there any students here who have weak hands or legs
A meeting was in progress when a voice suddenly came from the back door: "Report."
Xu Xiangyang was standing at the door. When Zhu Xingyao looked up, Lu Ji was standing next to the back door. He seemed to be waiting for her to look back.
Their eyes met and he smiled.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the boy's soft hair, making him look very sunny, and he waved his hand at her.
The students who saw it couldn't help but exclaimed: "Wow."
They all turned to look at Zhu Xingyao.
Zhu Xingyao's heart skipped a beat. Lao Cao had just used her as a typical counterexample a few days ago! If she saw Lu Ji greeting him, wouldn't he be caught in the act? Not to mention the pile of love letters!
She turned her head hurriedly to look at the podium, her little face seemed to have turned pale with fright.
Cao Shujun's expression softened and he smiled at Xu Xiangyang: "Come in."
He didn't seem to see Lu Ji. It was probably because the platform was in a blind spot facing Lu Ji. Zhu Xingyao felt his heart drop to the ground. He patted his chest and whispered, "I'm so scared..."
Li Xixi turned her head and blinked ambiguously: "Is it just fear?"
Zhu Xingyao glared at her unhappily, savoring it carefully, as if... not only that, at least she was in a good mood after seeing Lu Ji's sunny smile just now. His smile was quite contagious.
Jiang Tu took in all her lively movements and expressions with a cold expression. He felt as if there was a lump of air in his chest, making him feel uncomfortable.
Cao Shujun praised Xu Xiangyang a few times, and told him to review well and prepare for the monthly exam. He also said, "If you have time, follow up with Zhang Sheng on the registration for the school sports meet. If you don't have time, just wait until the monthly exam is over."
Xu Xiangyang smiled and said, "No problem."
Cao Shujun felt relieved that squad leader Xu Xiangyang was still very reliable.
After the class meeting, there was still some time left, so Cao Shujun asked everyone to make good use of the time to review. He didn't say much and just watched everyone review.
After school, Zhu Xingyao packed her schoolbag neatly and stuffed various books into it in an orderly manner, making the bag heavy. The girl had thin shoulders, and the bag weighing on her shoulders seemed to crush her.
Jiang Tu lowered his eyes and looked at her: "I'll help you get it to the school gate?"
Zhu Xingyao held up her chest very firmly, shook her head and smiled: "No need, I can do it myself, I'll just get used to it."
This might happen more often in the future. She can't always rely on others, right
Jiang Tu wanted to say, the schoolbag is about to bend your waist... But she really straightened her waist, as if she was going to dance, and that beautiful energy was in her, and she couldn't get rid of it.
In the corridor, people were crowded together waiting to go downstairs. Lu Ji and Zhou Yuan stood in the corridor, leaning lazily against the guardrail. Zhou Yuan told Lu Ji about his encounter with Jiang Tu in the corridor that day, and complained: "Damn, he is so brave. I don't even dare to smoke in the classroom."
Lu Ji was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "So, you are really brave enough. I didn't expect that... You can't judge a person by his appearance."
Zhou Yuan said: "I was also scared. I thought he was just an honest student."
Lu Ji agreed. Most people had left. Several people walked out of the back door of Class 1, led by Xu Xiangyang. He turned around and said, "Zhu Xingyao and Li Xixi, let's go out for a meal together. Lu Ji will treat us. He did well in the exam, so he wants to treat everyone."
Jiang Tu slung his schoolbag over his shoulder and stared at the back of Xu Xiangyang's head with an extremely cold expression, accomplice number two.
Li Xixi was very dissatisfied with Xu Xiangyang. She refused fiercely: "No, who wants to eat with a bunch of stinky boys like you?"
Xu Xiangyang: “…”
He looked at Lu Ji and Zhou Yuan with an innocent and confused expression. How had he offended this old lady? After he was assigned to Class 1, he had never received a normal look or expression from her.
Zhu Xingyao looked up and met Lu Ji's smiling eyes. There were still a few students at the door who hadn't left yet. Everyone looked at them like they were watching a play, as if they wanted to confirm the rumor that the idol and the goddess were having an affair. Unfortunately, Zhu Xingyao shook her head gently: "I have to go to class soon, so I don't have time. You guys go ahead." She paused and smiled at Lu Ji, "Congratulations, good luck in the finals."
Lu Ji's expectations were dashed. He smiled calmly, "Thank you. Then... next time?"
Zhu Xingyao hesitated for a moment.
One second.
Two seconds.
…
"Lin Jiayu."
Jiang Tu's dull voice broke the silence first.
Lin Jiayu, who had just walked out of the classroom with her schoolbag on her back, was a little confused. She stopped where she was and looked up: "Huh?"
Jiang Tu walked past Zhu Xingyao and walked towards Lin Jiayu, holding out his hand: "Give me your phone, I'll make a call."
He was tall and had a cold temperament. He walked out suddenly, attracting people's attention and following his back involuntarily. Even Zhu Xingyao looked over.
