In fact, before going to college, Chen Jinan's seemingly carefree appearance always concealed an unknown sensitivity and low self-esteem.

When he graduated from elementary school, the company where Chen Jinan's parents worked went bankrupt. Although they were laid off, they received a considerable pension. After careful consideration, the couple decided to bid farewell to the life of working for others and go to the south to do business.

Chen Jinan was unable to go with them because he was studying, so his parents stayed with his uncle's house.

Uncle Xue Guangshui is the workshop director of a factory. He is very busy at work and rarely leaves home during the day. He comes back for dinner in the evening and then goes to the study alone. The heavy responsibility of taking care of his parents and children falls on his aunt Huang Qiuju, who is a housewife.

.

In Chen Jinan's impression, Huang Qiuju is a typical example of a mean and bitter middle-aged woman. In addition to doing housework every day, she just grabs a handful of melon seeds and chats with her mother-in-law and aunt downstairs.

Whose son in the community has not been admitted to the civil service examination, and whose daughter has not yet gotten married after the age of 25. These trivial matters are what she loves to hear. And in front of those women, what Huang Qiuju loves to do most is to complain to them about Chen Jinan

This niece is ignorant.

She has been pampered since she was a child, and doesn't know how to take the initiative to help adults share the housework, and doesn't know how to look at her face; why Chen's father throws his child away from the Xue family, and he is happy and relaxed, but Chen Jin'an takes up resources in their house, even the small utility room.

I have to clean it up and make a room for her; when it rains heavily after school, I don’t know how to give my umbrella to my cousin who is playing games in the Internet cafe. This little girl is really selfish, narrow-minded and ungrateful.

Huang Qiuju could complain about things like this eight hundred times without getting tired of it, for fear that others would not know how much "efforts" she had put into her niece.

In my uncle's family, there was a cousin who was only one year older than Chen Jinan. Under Huang Qiuju's doting, he grew up to be a useless person who could not take care of himself. He lived a sloppy life, was at the bottom of his studies, and was always involved in fights and violations of school rules.

As for Chen Jinan, her niece, Huang Qiuju was always harsh in every possible way.

Every holiday, when my cousin was still sleeping in the warm quilt, Huang Qiuju would pick Chen Jinan up from the crowded small bed converted from the utility room and accompany her to the vegetable market five kilometers away to buy vegetables.

If she meets an acquaintance neighbor when she goes out, Huang Qiuju will chat with her while dragging the shopping cart. The topics they chat about are just complaining about how hard it is to take care of Chen Jinan.

The child is so ungrateful, and how much money I have spent on her is equivalent to helping others raise their children in vain.

Whenever this happened, neighbors who didn't know why would always echo her, saying that Huang Qiuju was kind-hearted, but her sister-in-law from another family might not be as kind-hearted.

After saying this, those people also wanted to criticize Chen Jinan a few more words, saying that when you grow up, you must repay your uncle and aunt well.

But only Chen Jinan himself knew that his parents gave his aunt a bank card before taking it away. There was enough money in it to cover living expenses and tuition fees for Chen Jinan until he graduated from junior high school. For so long, his parents had been paying this card regularly every month.

When I transferred money from my bank card, I never used any of my uncle's and aunt's money.

Not only that, she also knew that Huang Qiuju secretly withdrew the money from her card to do beauty treatments. The money for her cousin to buy a new computer was also transferred from her bank card. Sometimes the money for emergency medical treatment at home would be transferred from her bank card.

"borrow".

And when she rarely opened her mouth to buy a new dress, Huang Qiuju would only complain that she asked her family for money all day long, and the school uniform was not worn out anyway, so she was like a rich girl buying famous brands, she was vain.

Being dependent on others during adolescence greatly affected Chen Jinan's performance.

When she was promoted from primary school to junior high school, she was admitted to their middle school in the top three grades. However, when she graduated from junior high school, her high school entrance examination scores were only in the middle of the school, and she could only be admitted to an ordinary high school.

Chen's parents and Chen's mother felt guilty because they knew they could not be with their daughter. In order to give Chen Jinan a better learning environment, they sent her to a famous district key high school in Imperial City through connections and spent some money to get her.

I took a key class.

When he first learned about the news, Chen Jinan was strongly opposed to it.

She is a person who would rather be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix, and she has a strong self-esteem. She knows that even if she enters this school, she will not be able to keep up with their learning progress and will only be at the bottom.

But Chen's parents and Chen's mother just told her to study hard and not think too much about anything else. When school started, they asked her cousin Xue Lei to take her to school.

With Xue Lei's grades, he certainly wouldn't be able to get into the district's key exams. His school is diagonally opposite Chen Jin'an High School and is a third-rate high school.

When she learned that Chen Jin'an was sent to the district's key center, Huang Qiuju was always irritated in front of her, saying that Chen's father was ungrateful now that he was rich, and that he didn't care who was helping them take care of their daughter. Since he had this opportunity, why didn't he think about it in the first place?

Help their family Xue Lei get into a key high school.

Of course, Huang Qiuju would only talk about these complaints in front of Chen Jin'an. In front of Chen's parents and Chen's mother, she still looked like a good person, flattering and flattering, saying that she had always treated Jin'an as her own daughter.

----------------------------------

The district's key No. 6 middle school and the Xue family were located in the south and the other in the north. Chen Jinan originally wanted to apply to live on campus, but as soon as the idea came up, Huang Qiuju rejected it because the school conditions were not as good as those at home.

In fact, Chen Jinan knew that Huang Qiuju was just worried that Chen Jinan's father would stop remitting living expenses to their home after Chen Jinan lived on campus.

Chen Jinan didn't bother to argue with her, so he got up early on the first day of school and went out to take the bus.

She didn’t know what kind of wind it was blowing that day, but her cousin Xue Lei not only didn’t sleep in, but also left the house one step ahead of her, bought breakfast and waited for her at the bus stop.

At that time, Chen Jinan did not have a mobile phone and was not very familiar with the North District, so when Xue Lei told her that No. 6 Middle School would get off at Shuanggang Road, she had no doubts at all.

But when the bus stopped at Shuanggang Road Station, the driver opened the door, and Chen Jinan jumped out of the bus first with his schoolbag on his back, but Xue Lei covered his mouth and laughed so hard in front of the door, Chen Jinan knew that he had been fooled.

Two seconds later, the bus door slowly closed in front of Chen Jinan. Xue Lei stuck his head out of the window and cursed her "fool" loudly.

Watching the bus drive away, Chen Jinan sighed deeply.

She is still too naive. How could someone like Xue Lei be so kind as to wait for her to go to school?

Dogs can't change their habit of eating shit.

That day, Chen Jinan was late without any surprise. She got on the bus again with the help of passers-by. When she found her classroom according to the class schedule, the class teacher had already assigned seats and was giving the first lesson to the new students.

The class meeting is here.

Chen Jinan stood at the door of the class and calmed down for a while, then knocked on the classroom door breathlessly, "Report!"

Dozens of eyes looked over, and after a brief silence, the whole class burst into loud laughter.

At that time, Chen Jinan had short hair that reached her ears. Because Huang Qiuju disliked her hair being too long and it was making hair fall all over the house and difficult to clean, so she took her to have it cut off.

Her hair was naturally curly, and it was okay to tie it up, giving it a lazy and cute look, but once she cut it short, her hairstyle started to go wild and out of control.

At this moment, because I was in a hurry, my short hair was blown by the wind, and it looked more like it had been struck by lightning and exploded.

The head teacher glanced at her, frowned, asked her name, and then placed her in the corner of the last row, the only empty seat in the class.

Chen Jinan sat down with his schoolbag in his arms, stuffed it into the desk, and lay on the desk breathing heavily.

Her new deskmate is a tall and thin boy with handsome features and a sunny temperament, which is a relatively outstanding appearance for that age.

After Chen Jinan took her seat, the boy leaned on the back of the chair, crossed his legs carelessly, and turned his pen in his hand. He looked at her appraisingly, with an expression that seemed to indicate whether he was smiling or not.

Adolescent girls are most afraid of the gaze of the opposite sex. Chen Jinan was so uncomfortable with his gaze that he felt like a gleam on his back. He buried his head in his arms and sat there for a long time.

But until the head teacher finished speaking, she saw through the gap in her arm that his eyes were still not moving away. She felt inexplicably anxious, and she suddenly made a "tsk" sound, raised her eyebrows and asked him: "Why are you looking at me?"

The boy smiled, and the pen he was spinning fell on the table. His answer was quite honest: "I just think your little curly hair is too cute, like a poodle with fried hair."

Chen Jinan: “………………”

Chen Jinan didn't know where he got the courage, or maybe he had been holding it in for a long time - he had nowhere to vent his anger. After hearing these words, he was completely blown away. He picked up a book and threw it at his new deskmate, turning up the volume.

: "You are a poodle, and your whole family is a poodle!"

The classroom fell into dead silence for an instant. All the students turned around and looked over. The new classmate also stared at her with a surprised look like "Holy shit, you are really not afraid of death." Then the whole class burst into laughter again.

After being stunned for two seconds, the head teacher completely exploded, slapping the podium and yelling: "Quiet! Stop laughing!"

"What the hell are you two doing! How dare you be so undisciplined in the first class meeting of school! Stand in the corridor for me now! You are not allowed to come in without my permission, and you two are also responsible for the hygiene of the classroom today!"

"..."

In this way, Chen Jinan spent the most unlucky day in his life. Not only did he feel aggrieved, but he also left the class teacher with the impression of a bad student who had poor grades and disrupted classroom discipline.

She stood up with a red face and walked out, then stood slowly at the back door.

When the Education Office was distributing books, boys and girls carrying books passed by in the corridor from time to time. Chen Jinan did not dare to look up, always feeling that everyone was watching her joke.

Although her grades were not very good in junior high school, she was definitely not the naughty one in the class. This was the first time she was punished by the teacher.

After a while, her new deskmate slowly stood next to her. Then, her head was heavy, and someone put a black peaked cap on her head. The brim of the hat covered her entire face.

Small face.

Chen Jinan resisted and took it off, but the person next to him held down the hat tightly.

"What are you doing!" Chen Jinan raised his head and glared at him.

The new deskmate withdrew his hand, put his hands in his trouser pockets, leaned forward casually, and said in a lazy tone: "Stand with me, and you will become famous. If you don't want to be seen, just wear it."

Chen Jinan snorted coldly and cursed "narcissism" in his heart, but did not rush to take off his hat.

"Hey, Brother Fan, you are punished by standing still on the first day of school!" This guy may be quite famous in the school, and all the classmates passing by would make fun of him.

The new deskmate still looked like he was awake, "What do you know? Our old classmate thought I was handsome and pulled him out to show off!"

"..." Chen Jinan lowered his head and rolled his eyes secretly.

----------------------------------------

Because of that "lion dog" sentence, within a week after school started, Chen Jinan did not speak to the culprit who caused her to be punished.

Because of the seating arrangement, Chen Jinan has never made many friends. Not only that, a few naughty boys in the back row of the class will imitate the tone of her deskmate and call her "" regardless of the occasion and regardless of her feelings.

Poodle".

This caused Chen Jinan to spend a very depressed time after school started. Because of this, Chen Jinan had no good impression of his new classmate, and felt that all the unpleasantness that happened to him in No. 6 Middle School was due to him.

.

Later, she learned that her new deskmate was named Yan Fan, a student who was promoted directly from the junior high school of No. 6 Middle School. Although he usually looked not serious, his high school entrance examination score was among the top ten in the school.

The favorite of the head teacher, Lao Jiang, is also very popular among the girls in the school because of his superior appearance.

Yan Fan had a lot of fun, and almost every class, regardless of gender, had a few friends with whom he could talk.
