Yang Sheng invited Xue Yuantong to play table tennis. It was still a few minutes before get out of class ended.
Although she was on holiday after this class, Xue Yuantong was not the kind of person to rush out of school after class. She planned to play on campus for a while and wait until there were fewer students outside before going to the snack street with Jiang Ning.
Recently, Aunt Gu has a new job, and her salary is 5,000 yuan. This is 5,000 yuan after paying five insurances and one housing fund. In 2013, in the small city of Yuzhou, the salary was quite good.
After her family became wealthy, although Aunt Gu herself was still frugal, she was generous to her daughter. Xue Yuantong received a scholarship last time, and after Aunt Gu was admitted to hospital, she handed over all the scholarship money.
So during this period, Aunt Gu always tried different ways to give Xue Yuantong pocket money, and sometimes gave her double portions, telling her to buy one portion for Jiang Ning and not eat alone.
Facing Yang Sheng's invitation, Xue Yuantong took the racket and moved it away from Jiang Ning.
"Okay, let's play a few games."
She stood opposite Yang Sheng and said solemnly to Jiang Ning:
"I will definitely hold the door for you."
Jiang Ning smiled.
Before Yang Sheng served, he looked at Ma Shicheng and others standing nearby and joked:
"Why, you guys haven't left yet, what are you waiting for here?"
"Do you still want to fight with me?"
Ma Shicheng's face hurt so much at the moment. He originally brought a bunch of brothers to support him, but in the end, the brothers lost worse than him.
He felt extremely complicated now, with shame, discomfort, helplessness, and all kinds of emotions intertwined together. But after that, he seemed to have broken through some shackles and was no longer so uncomfortable.
Although it was shameful that he dragged his brothers into the water, at least he was no longer alone... No, it had nothing to do with him that the brothers went into the water voluntarily.
Especially the oath made by Kaiquan made Ma Shicheng feel ashamed. Now Kaiquan's face was darker, even worse than that of Guo Kunnan, who was originally dark.
Thinking of this, Ma Shicheng was able to make a joke:
"Isn't this to see who you will hand us over to later?"
"It's good to know." Yang Shenggao glanced at Ma Shicheng. She didn't expect that Ma Shicheng was quite flexible and a bit of a man.
Although Yang Sheng is young, he often encounters various opponents in sports. There are not many people who can afford to lose, face failure calmly, and even make a joke afterwards.
Many adults can't do it.
Compared with Ma Shicheng, Shan Kaiquan and Cui Yu looked ugly, even a little angry.
"I'm about to serve, please be careful." Yang Sheng said.
She had seen Xue Yuantong and Jiang Ning playing table tennis and knew that Xue Yuantong was good at the game, but she was not afraid:
"I have received professional table tennis training."
Yang Sheng served a ball, and Xue Yuantong was very agile and hit it back with his backhand.
The two of them were going back and forth with each other.
If things go wrong, a few people should stay a little further away.
Wang Longlong watched the two girls playing table tennis and said, "Xue Yuantong's skills seem to be very good, not inferior to Yang Sheng's."
Cui Yu answered: "Brother Long, stop analyzing. If you hadn't explained how weak Yang Sheng was before, I wouldn't have gone up to fight her!"
"Losed by eighteen goals."
Cui Yu was unhappy. He was the worst loser among those present.
Wang Longlong stopped talking. He didn't want to go up and get into trouble. He had no choice but to prevent him and Hu Jun from going up and losing. Now among the few people, the loser has the right to speak.
Shan Kaiquan had a dark face. He was almost completely embarrassed today. Fortunately, Bai Yuxia was not here, otherwise he would have been embarrassed today.
"Well, although I didn't lose as much as you, I was even worse. I can't afford to lose."
After Guo Kunnan heard this, he was not as depressed as before. He looked at Shan Kaiquan and said:
"You are indeed irresistible. You are really, well, I don't know what to say."
"How can you make such a bet? I won't accept it, so I will accept it from you."
Ma Shicheng advised: "Don't imitate me. When you speak in the future, you should leave some way out for yourself."
Shan Kaiquan listened to the comfort from several people and said, "Don't worry, I understand. I must learn to leave a way out for myself in the future."
Then he said angrily: "If I make a bet with Yang Sheng again in the future, I will be her grandson!"
Ma Shicheng:……
Wang Longlong turned his back, and laughed hard twice while the others were not paying attention. Fortunately, he always made plans before making decisions, and was not a reckless person like Shan Kaiquan.
Immediately, Wang Longlong stopped his smile, put on a sad expression again, and returned to participate in the conversation of several people. He comforted:
"Stop talking, everyone has good intentions. Who would have thought that Yang Sheng could play table tennis so well."
On the other side, Yang Sheng played a few balls with Xue Yuantong. She probably figured out Xue Yuantong's technical level. He was very talented and could play back and forth with her. His skills could be said to be quite outstanding among middle school students.
Moreover, Xue Yuantong is not the kind of player who only knows how to play recklessly. She has flexible movements and rapid progress.
Yang Sheng lost four goals.
She shouted to Ma Shicheng and called a few people over. Yang Sheng glanced at several people and finally stopped.
"Guo Kunnan, you will be on duty for Xue Yuantong four times first."
"Did you hear a squeak?"
Guo Kunnan had a dark face and said that he heard it and had no choice but to ask him to make the bet.
Ma Shicheng and Shan Kaiquan are 100% willing to admit defeat. If he cheats, it will be unjustifiable.
Guo Kunnan was already planning to accept his fate, but Xue Yuantong said:
"No, I can clean it myself."
When Guo Kunnan heard this, he was pleasantly surprised at first. He didn't have to go on duty in advance. It was great. But he suddenly had a toothache. Am I being disliked?
At this thought, Guo Kunnan almost couldn't help but ask Xue Yuantong:
'Do you look down on me?'
Yang Shengdao: "Don't be polite to me. They are idle anyway. Let them take out the garbage or carry the mineral water bucket."
"You must be willing to help your classmates, right?"
Ma Shicheng looked sad: "What else?"
However, Xue Yuantong refused in the end. Compared to Yang Sheng, who was cheerful, optimistic, and informal, Xue Yuantong had a character that was unwilling to trouble others, and she felt that this was not good.
When Yang Sheng saw Xue Yuantong's refusal, she didn't say anything more. She looked at a few people and thought about how to deal with them. She must take action quickly if she got something in vain.
Ma Shicheng was glanced at by her, and immediately felt guilty, as if he was facing the class teacher. At that moment, the end of class bell rang in the teaching building outside the playground.
"See you next week, farewell!"
A few of them ran away without saying a word.
Looking at their embarrassed figures, Yang Sheng stepped on the table tennis table and shook her short hair due to the fierce movement, which made her even more sassy.
Ma Shicheng and others ran out of the playground. Wang Longlong was a little fat and lacked physical strength. He fell behind and shouted breathlessly:
"Brother Ma, Brother Ma, don't run so fast!"
"Wait for me."
Ma Shicheng was still very loyal. Wang Longlong was his deskmate and a spectator of his game. He stopped decisively and asked Shan Kaiquan and others to stop.
Shan Kaiquan despised Wang Longlong: "You're not good. You're exhausted after just a few runs. Don't you usually exercise?"
Wang Longlong thought to himself, what's the use of exercising? You're just like a monkey being played by Yang Sheng.
And he is a wise man who relies on his brain to make a living.
However, Wang Longlong is still very honest on the surface. He said:
"No, I haven't practiced enough, so I can't compare to Brother Quan."
Shan Kaiquan said immediately: "School starts next week. I will take you running in the evening self-study. Come to the playground for a run."
Wang Longlong doesn't want to exercise at all.
He looked at a few people and thought that his brothers had been cheated badly today, so he was probably not in a good mood. He just took this opportunity to get closer to each other and implement his big plan in advance.
"I have some money on hand recently, so I'll treat everyone to...eat fried food and spicy hotpot. You can eat whatever you want from the fried food stall at the door!" Wang Long said grandly.
He was originally going to treat everyone to a barbecue, but the barbecue was too expensive. There were seven people present. If he really wanted to let everyone eat, it would probably cost two to three hundred dollars. In comparison, frying is much cheaper.
Several people's eyes lit up, they didn't expect such a good thing?
"Good guy, is Brother Long so fierce today?"
"Brother Long, well done, I saw you right."
"From now on, whatever Brother Long says will be whatever he says!"
Especially Shan Kaiquan shouted the loudest, there was nothing he could do, his money had cost him most of his money before, and now his living expenses were still borrowed from Jiang Ning.
He hadn't eaten well in two days, and the sound of Wang Longlong's voice was like listening to fairy music.
Instantly recalling the deliciousness of fried food, I fried a chicken fillet, smeared with chili sauce and cumin powder, and took a bite.
Shan Kaiquan had to swallow his saliva.
"Let's go!" He put his arm around Wang Longlong's neck.
…
On the table tennis table, Yang Sheng held her special racket and left.
Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong were left.
There were many students in the playground, and now they were walking out of the playground. The originally noisy playground gradually became quiet, and the warm winter sun filled the playground.
There are two groups of people left on the basketball team who continue to play. There is a girl standing on the podium. Several classmates are sitting on the parallel bars in the distance. In the south corner of the playground, the branches and leaves of the small garden pass through the iron fence on the wall. Work hard.
The crowd spread towards the playground, and two boys were playing with their mobile phones, presumably using the wifi.
Jiang Ning was not in a hurry to leave school, and the two played table tennis.
Jiang Ning didn't use her full strength and let Xue Yuantong win several goals in a row, so she thought her skills had improved and she became even happier.
Because of the exercise, Xue Yuantong's cheeks flushed, and his slightly childish face was filled with joy.
The rays of the distant sun shone on her body, making her radiant.
"Jiang Ning, am I awesome today?" Xue Yuantong put down the racket and looked like he was about to praise me.
"Very powerful, Yang Sheng is no match for you."
"Hehehe." Xue Yuantong smiled, "Let's not fight for now. Let's go for a walk on the playground."
The two walked to the playground without saying a word, just walking quietly.
Jiang Ning walked aimlessly, and couldn't help but recall the past. In fact, he liked walking on the playground, which would relax his mood.
He once came to Yuzhou from the town to study. Facing the unfamiliar environment, he felt depressed.
He would often come to the playground and walk alone. After walking for a long time, his worries and melancholy would dissipate a lot and his mood would relax.
It's just that I have never been alone before, instead of being with a little girl like this.
The heat on Xue Yuantong's forehead dissipated a little, and there was a hint of coolness. She tightened her clothes and sat down on the grass.
Jiang Ning stopped and sat down as well. Xue Yuantong leaned over to him, hugged his arm, and pressed his head against his.
The two of them were stuck together, there was no wind in the air, the warm sunshine fell, and their shadows stuck together.
After a long time, Xue Yuantong looked sideways.
Jiang Ning met her watery eyes:
"Jiang Ning, where do you want to study in college in the future?"
"University?" Jiang Ning used to be in Huaicheng, but he didn't miss that place.
"Maybe I'll go to Linzhou," he said.
"It's a bit far." Xue Yuantong thought that she would be far away from her mother, and her little face was a little tangled.
"yes."
"Jiang Ning, are you afraid of traveling far away?"
"Not afraid."
"Me too, I'm not afraid either." Xue Yuantong said.
Jiang Ning glanced at her: "Are you afraid?"
"Hmph, how could I be afraid!"
"Blow it." Jiang Ning didn't believe her at all.
Xue Yuantong looked at Jiang Ning with a straight face. Suddenly, her expression changed and she said:
"Jiang Ning, please don't forget me in the future, okay?"
Somehow, Xue Yuantong wanted to say this.
Jiang Ning's tone was calm: "I won't forget it."
"Really?"
"Um."
Jiang Ning was very convinced that he had not forgotten the changes and vicissitudes of life that had occurred over the past two hundred years, and he would never forget them in the future.
Xue Yuantong became happy again: "Then let's stamp it."
She stretched out her hand and put it against Jiang Ning's palm, and it was instantaneous.
"Okay, you can't go back on your word."
Jiang Ning said: "Childish."
"This is an agreement!" Xue Yuantong said seriously.
Jiang Ning lifted her clothes and hat: "Okay, don't think so much. Do you want to eat? Let's go."
"Okay, let's go now. It's my treat today." Xue Yuantong patted his pocket.
The two of them were passing by the street in front of the school and happened to see Ma Shicheng and his party sitting around a table at a fried stall, eating happily.
Ma Shicheng shouted from a distance: "Jiang Ning, do you want to eat?"
"No."
He left with Xue Yuantong.
Guo Kunnan took a bite of the deep-fried skewers ‘bone and flesh’ and asked doubtfully: “Are they in love? They are together every day.”
Ma Shicheng said: "It doesn't look like it, but they do have a very good relationship. Jiang Ning abandoned me in order to sit at the same table with her."
Wang Longlong said: "Am I not good?"
Shan Kaiquan took two sips of milk tea: "Brother Long is my best brother."
Not only did he eat fried food, he also had milk tea as a treat for Wang Longlong, which was not too good at all.
Shan Kaiquan took two sips of milk tea and felt a little dizzy: "Don't worry about Jiang Ning, tell the brothers something big, I will have someone in a month at most!"
Wang Longlong was about to say, are you ready to confess your love to Bai Yuxia?
As a result, he saw Guo Kunnan's eyes and changed his words:
"On behalf of myself, I would like to wish Brother Quan in advance!"
Just like when things come true, Cui Yu and others send blessings one after another. They see through things without telling them, and they are wise in the world.
Shan Kaiquan waved his hand: "When I am done, brothers, please come here again and have a good time!"
Many people thought that after the horse thing happened, they probably wouldn't be able to eat this meal.
Only Guo Kunnan encouraged: "I'm still drinking wine in the dormitory. When you're done, I'll drink it right away."
"As expected of my brother!" Shan Kaiquan thought Guo Kunnan was really good.
