Lin Yi thought that it might be right to block the old bear's mouth first, otherwise with his babbling speed, everyone on the road would soon know.
The time came to Wednesday, and of course Lin Yi copied last night’s homework from Xiao Haocheng.
Lao Xiong, who prides himself as a good deskmate, is deeply saddened by his behavior of "not correcting his mistakes but stubbornly persisting in them" but there is nothing he can do about it.
When Lin walked out of the cafeteria in the morning, he saw many classmates queuing up to buy rice dumplings, and then he remembered that today was the Dragon Boat Festival.
For students, the way they remember days is generally based on "days of the week" and nodes such as the beginning of the semester-midterm-finals.
The work party is a little more complicated. They may also remember "beginning of the month - middle of the month - end of the month", "beginning of the quarter - mid-quarter - end of the quarter" or "beginning of the year - mid-year - end of the year"...
It depends on how often you need to submit summaries.
Today's morning reading and the first class in the morning were all in English, which seemed extremely long together and made Lin Yi feel sleepy.
After a long time, the bell rang. Teacher Wang, who taught English, was collecting lecture notes on the podium and said, perhaps wanting to chat a few words:
"You must watch the Portuguese team's game."
The World Cup is now Lin Yi's focus. After all, all his wealth is invested in it, so it immediately attracted his attention.
What attracted the most attention today was not the showdown between the traditional powers, but the singing of the national anthem before the start of the match between Brazil and North Korea. Zheng Da-se, who had a rough life experience, shed tears.
This is a complexity that Westerners cannot understand, and they have no interest in knowing.
For domestic fans, this scene has become a memory coordinate for them to recall the World Cup in South Africa many years later, and it is still vivid in their minds.
Talking back to Portugal, their opponent last night was Côte d'Ivoire led by Drogba. As an African team, it can be regarded as half a home game.
The Purple Army, which has superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, did not win a single victory.
Lin Yi didn't expect that Teacher Wang, a petite girl, actually knew about football, so he was eager to hear what she had to say.
I just heard her say very sincerely:
"Because the players on the Portuguese team are all very handsome."
Fine.
It's really unexpected and reasonable.
…
Regarding the customs of the Dragon Boat Festival, Lin Yi remembers very clearly that he participated in a quiz competition in elementary school, and the last question he encountered was:
"Empty, sprinkle with sugar, and row the dragon boat with joy." Let him fill in the blanks.
He had never heard this sentence, so he didn't answer it and missed the championship in that competition.
In fact, the answer is very simple, it is the three words "eat zongzi".
At noon, Lin Yi hesitated for a moment after walking out of the cafeteria, then turned to the canteen at the back.
He was going to buy an egg yolk meat rice dumpling to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival for himself.
Life needs a sense of ritual.
He has always felt that this sentence is the biggest trap of consumerism.
but……
Three and a half dollars, affordable.
Sure enough, there were quite a few people stepping on this trap, and he was honestly at the end of the queue.
In the era before smartphones, waiting in line was so boring. I don’t know how I persisted in the past.
After a while, a hand patted his right shoulder from behind.
This is a little trick I often played in middle school.
Lin Yicai had only been back for a few days, but he had already adapted to it. He turned to the left and caught a classmate Zhang Jiaqi alive who was trying to tease him.
Zhang Jiaqi is not tall, and has short short hair that is common among girls. However, when she speaks, the braces in her mouth are very conspicuous.
Next to her is of course Gu Caiwei.
The two of them were always inseparable like conjoined twins, but Lin Yi knew that soon they would no longer be able to be together like this.
Zhang Jiaqi didn't get discouraged even though she couldn't tease her. She said hello energetically: "Lin Yi, I haven't complimented you yet. You were very MAN on Friday night."
There are always people coming and going in the class, and they haven't had a chance to talk after that day.
Lin Yi glanced at Gu Caiwei.
"Someone has already thanked me."
"Caiwei wrote you a postcard, I know that. But don't think too much about it, it's just a simple thank you."
Zhang Jiaqi specifically emphasized that she had seen too many passionate boys, after all, that was Gu Caiwei.
"I'm just happy to help others."
Lin Yi is really not a sentimental person, otherwise in his previous life he should have announced loudly, "Gu Caiwei is my first love!"
Of course, this sentence will not cause any sensation, because others will only make fun of it:
"All Vivian's fans think so. Do you also think that Vivian is waiting for you by not getting married?"
With some useless thoughts running through his mind, he glanced at Gu Caiwei subconsciously.
This action was caught by Zhang Jiaqi, and she sneered: "Huh, simple?"
"Jia Qi..." Gu Caiwei pulled her.
It turned out that Zhang Jiaqi had such a bitchy personality when she was a freshman in high school. Lin Yi complained in his heart, but he didn't intend to get along with her.
There will be times when you cry in the future.
"What did you come to buy?" He changed the subject.
"My mother brought me a rice dumpling today, and Jiaqi said she wanted to eat it too, so she came to the canteen to buy one." Gu Caiwei replied in a decent manner.
Another trap-taker.
"Why not just divide it up?" Lin Yi felt that if it were him, it would definitely not be so troublesome.
"How can we divide the rice dumplings? Then the meaning would be incomplete." Zhang Jiaqi said seriously.
Lin Yi couldn't understand this strange brain circuit: "I've only heard that you can't separate pears, but I've never heard that you can't separate rice dumplings."
In fact, the truth is very simple: Zhang Jiaqi wanted to eat the rice dumplings from the canteen.
But if she admits it now, she will be at a disadvantage when it comes to bickering, so she must stick to her lies:
"That's because you are ignorant."
Once Lin knew about this situation, he could no longer reason. Fortunately, he finally got to the counter and asked the proprietress of the canteen for an egg yolk rice dumpling.
"It's the last zongzi."
The lady boss quickly picked up the bag and loaded it, while emphasizing slightly loudly so that the students queuing behind could hear.
"Ah, I came here specially but I didn't buy anything."
When Lin heard Zhang Jiaqi's complaining voice behind him, it seemed that he was talking to himself. After all, there was no one else here.
He thought for a moment that he didn't really want to eat, he was just joining in the fun.
But thinking of the conversation just now, he handed the bag over again and said:
"How about I give it to you?"
"Why are you so embarrassed?" She said this, but Zhang Jiaqi had already stretched out her hand with a smile and was ready to take it.
"Forget it, I would rather be embarrassed than make you embarrassed."
Lin Yi was definitely not the kind of person to make things difficult for others, so he took it back directly.
This twist was so abrupt that neither girl expected it, and their eyes widened in surprise.
Lin Yi explained kindly: "In order to avoid this zongzi causing trouble to classmate Zhang Jiaqi, I reluctantly ate it myself."
After he finished speaking, he walked away gracefully carrying the rice dumplings.
"Let's go..." Zhang Jiaqi's soft voice came from behind.
"Jia Qi, I'll give you the one I brought first. I'll have some more when I get home in the evening."
Gu Caiwei originally only came to buy it with Zhang Jiaqi.
While comforting Zhang Jiaqi, she watched Lin Yi's back gradually walk away, thinking that Lin Yi seemed different from before...
