When Jiang Ning is fishing on the lake, when he casts the rod and closes the rod, there are always fish taking the bait and the rod is never empty.
Xue Chuchu stared at it. This scene was simply amazing. Jiang Ning's fishing had a natural beauty. Sitting on the boat, he seemed to have integrated into the surrounding ecology. He was born to be a fisherman.
As time passed, two more cruise ships appeared on the lake. They were far apart and did not interfere with each other.
There were more and more fish in Jiang Ning's bucket, and Xue Yuantong gave up on fishing. She crossed her legs and prayed for Jiang Ning, trying to share the credit and prove that she was not a waste.
Xue Chuchu rowed gently. She had been eating well recently, keeping up with her nutrition, and her physical strength was better than before.
In the distance, Li Shi, Lin Zida, and Wang Yong were sitting on another boat. The four of them had just enough space to play cards. They were eating fruit slices and playing cards, which was a lot of fun.
Li Shi saw Jiang Ning and his group in the distance, and she was surprised: "They are actually here too?"
Wang Yong is a student in Class 8. He has just started his freshman year of high school. He also inquired about Jiang Ning's information for Lin Zida, so he pays extra attention to Jiang Ning.
He said: "Their family lives in Heba and knows that it is normal here."
Li Shi thought of something, and the surprise on her face turned into reality. She smiled and said: "A cruise is not cheap. The sports competition bonus he finally won will be spent all."
There is a certain sense of superiority in the words.
Zhuang Jianhui on the boat listened quietly with a calm expression. They were born in Ancheng, and their family had properties all over the country, so they naturally did not need to worry about material things.
99% of people in the world do not have such a favorable environment. In this kind of environment, they naturally have a superior mentality. Although they rarely show it, their occasional behavior will inevitably reveal a little bit.
In fact, this is the real society after leaving campus.
After Wang Yong heard this, he originally wanted to say that it was not what you thought. Jiang Ning's family was in good condition. The headphones and pens that Jiang Ning used before were expensive, and he could also donate Red Bull at the sports meeting.
But seeing the expressions of Li Shi and Zhuang Jianhui, he didn't say anything.
In terms of dealing with people, Wang Yong is more mature than Li Shi and Zhuang Jianhui. There is no way, he does not have the conditions of Li Shi and Zhuang Jianhui, so he can only make up for it in this aspect.
Lin Zida and Jiang Ning have a lot of contact and often talk about various console games. Anyone who can afford genuine console games these days will definitely not be short of hundreds of dollars for boating.
He sighed: "Jiang Ning's bonus is really quite large, enough to buy several games."
When the Yuandao Club first started, some people made false claims and claimed that the championship award was worth thousands of dollars. In the end, the awards were awarded. Although it was not as much as stated, Jiang Ning's three championships, plus the record-breaking, were not bad.
Lin Zida was very moved when he saw Jiang Ning fishing, and he wanted to take two shots.
"Wang Yong, let's go have a chat." Lin Zida said.
Li Shi felt that she had lost her status, why should they take the initiative to go there? With her character of calling people around, people her age should take the initiative to see her.
But at this moment, Lin Zida is taking the lead, and she has reservations.
The performance of the boat was very good. Lin Zida and Wang Yong rowed and quickly approached Jiang Ning's boat.
Xue Chuchu was surprised. The boats on the lake were all doing their own thing. Why did someone suddenly approach them?
She tightened her grip on the oar.
After Jiang Ning saw Lin Zida, he said hello: "What a coincidence."
Wang Yong was from Class 8. He asked: "Jiang Ning, how was the harvest?"
"It's okay, enough to eat." As he spoke, he calmly lifted the fishing rod, and in mid-air, a palm-sized crucian carp swung its silver-white tail, and transparent water droplets splashed everywhere.
Jiang Ning skillfully picked off the crucian carp and threw it into the bucket.
Wang Yong and the others looked envious. He was so cool and unrestrained. A fish is worthless. The key is the sense of accomplishment of catching a fish, which is very satisfying.
Lin Zida's hands are itchy and he can't take a shot now.
"Do you have any fishing tools?" Lin Zida asked.
"Yes." Jiang Ning picked up the net on the boat and asked, "Do you want it?"
Lin Zida took a look at the dip net. It seemed that fishing with the dip net was very simple. Just flip it and the fish would enter the net. In fact, he knew very well that people operating the dip net in the water were very slow and far away.
Not as fast as the fish.
It is too difficult to catch fish with a dip net unless you connect it to electricity, but then it is an electric fish.
Lin Zida shook his head, what a joke.
"You can't catch fish with this."
After hearing this, Xue Yuantong was a little angry at first, and then a little happy. Look, others didn't even have the courage to try it, but she dared to try it. Needless to say, Jiang Ning's image in her heart must have become taller again.
Seeing Lin Zida's refusal, Jiang Ning said: "The boat owner has fishing rods, you can rent a set."
Lin Zida took the advice and rowed the boat close to the shore, while Jiang Ning continued fishing.
Xue Yuantong looked at the fish in the bucket and said: "That's enough, that's enough. Let's get back our money!"
These fish were almost worth the cruise fare, and the boss also gave them sliced fruit and braised meat as gifts, making the business a total loss.
"We took care of the fish." Xue Chuchu has been independent since she was a child, and her housework is no worse than Tongtong's.
Jiang Ning rowed ashore and went to the cruise ship shop to handle the fish. Xue Chuchu was worried that the boss would not like it, so after asking Jiang Ning, she gave a few fish to Boss Li.
After the crucian carp was processed, Xue Yuantong prepared the ingredients and cut the tofu. They moved the stove onto the boat. It was a fire-proof stove and there would be no accidental burning of the boat.
The sun at noon is still not strong, the temperature is suitable, and the breeze is blowing. In such weather, it is a worthwhile pleasure to enjoy the scenery on a boat, with two girls of fifteen or sixteen years old as companions, to drink cold drinks and to eat stewed fish.
Xue Yuantong took out a deck of playing cards and the three of them fought against the landlord.
Lin Zida was still fishing, and he smelled the smell of fish stew on Jiang Ning's boat. It was so fragrant that he was intoxicated by the aroma, and the cold stewed smell lost his soul.
"Wang Yong, come fish together and let's stew fish for dinner." Lin Zida set a goal.
Wang Yong was relatively calm. He suddenly thought, who of the four people on the boat can cook?
He can't, and it's even less likely that the other three can.
‘Forget it, whether I can catch fish or not is still a matter of doubt.’ Wang Yong put aside his thoughts.
Because the two of them were fishing and there was no one to play cards with, Li Shi and Zhuang Jianhui chatted. After a while, Lin Zida actually caught a fish, and Zhuang Jianhui also joined the fishing team.
Li Shi was completely bored. When people are bored, they tend to have random thoughts. Li Shi suddenly said:
"Wang Yong, do you know Yang Sheng?"
Wang Yong was stunned, and he said subconsciously: "Sister Shi, I can't help you for what happened that day, I should have stopped them."
Li Shi made a bet with Yang Sheng, but he didn't know it beforehand.
Later, when Li Shi came to dance, Wang Yong thought he had some ability, but facing the few classmates in the class, he was not sure, so he did not take action and just watched Li Shi dance.
Well, Sister Shi's dance is really good.
It opened Wang Yong’s eyes.
When Li Shi heard Wang Yong's words, she didn't involve Wang Yong: "I don't blame you, tell me about Yang Sheng."
She must find this place again.
"Yang Sheng hates evil as much as she hates hatred. She is very evil. I remember it most clearly. I have never seen her on duty..."
Wang Yong belongs to the front row circle of Class 8. He is very close to Yang Sheng and has a certain understanding of her.
As Wang Yong told, Li Shi opened her eyes wide: "You mean, she has never lost a bet?"
Wang Yongdao: "To be precise, I lost once."
"The only time she lost was when she played table tennis with Xue Yuantong."
Li Shi glanced at the boat in the distance: "Oh, Xue Yuantong, that little one, right?"
…
The three-day holiday passed quietly and ushered in the beginning of school.
During the evening self-study, the sky was overcast and dark, the air was dull, and heavy rain could fall at any time, which cast a shadow on the students' mood.
Huang Yuzhu, who is in the middle row of the classroom, brought three umbrellas today to prevent another situation where classmates borrowed umbrellas and there were not enough.
The back row looks peaceful on the surface, but in fact there is an undercurrent.
"Three days, three days! Do you know how I spent these three days?"
Shan Kaiquan was wearing new clothes. He shook Guo Kunnan's shoulders and was excited. Tonight, he was about to usher in a major event in his life.
Guo Kunnan's eyes were complicated and he couldn't help. He just rushed to the dormitory in the afternoon and rummaged through the wine in the box under the bed several times. There were two bottles of wine in total. He had brought it from home and had been preparing for Kaiquan for a long time.
It will probably be open tonight.
However, he still hopes that Kaiquan can succeed.
Shan Kaiquan was excited and kept trembling, causing Guo Kunnan to tremble and then the table to tremble. Ma Shicheng looked at Shan Kaiquan and felt an abnormal tremor.
He stayed away from the desk and continued playing games.
Wang Longlong changed his position and continued to watch.
At this time, Wu Xiaoqi shot the ball into the goal. "Bang bang bang!" Wu Xiaoqi hit the ball.
The noise made Shan Kaiquan's head hurt. He was at a critical crossroads in his life, how could he endure Wu Xiaoqi.
Moreover, after Wu Xiaoqi came to Class 8, his prestige dropped drastically, while Shan Kaiquan's strength increased greatly. After going back and forth, he said bluntly:
"Go and call nearby, don't you see everyone is quiet?"
Shan Kaiquan showed a disgusting expression.
Wu Xiaoqi kept jumping: "I'm not playing basketball, I'm cleaning."
The dust on the cement floor is flying, that is his witness.
Shan Kaiquan: "Jing Ni Ma is talking nonsense!"
Cui Yu, who was standing next to him, saw that Wu Xiaoqi was learning to be smart, and he said sullenly: "Wu Xiaoqi, let me tell you, your sister Jiaojiao likes boys who play basketball the most."
When Wu Xiaoqi heard this, he was so frightened that he lost his grip on the basketball and took it out.
His face was uncertain: "Don't make random jokes!"
Fortunately, his determination to play basketball is so determined that nothing in the world can defeat him. Even if he is shattered to pieces, it cannot stop his will to play basketball.
Pang Jiao can't do it, and Zhang Yifei can't do it either!
Wu Xiaoqi picked up the basketball and stopped playing for the time being.
Cui Yu is quite satisfied. He is becoming more and more like a military advisor. Once he speaks out, the situation will be settled.
From now on, Class 8 won’t let him fly?
…
Class 2 downstairs.
Qi Tianheng looked at the 999 little stars folded by his own hands.
The little stars are packed in a glass bottle. The glass bottle is a custom-made bottle with a transparent light line inside. When you turn on the switch, the light will reflect the colorful colors of the little stars and emit light, which is exquisite and beautiful.
Above the pile of small stars, there is a watch hanging in the air. To be precise, it is a star pocket watch. The dial is a beautiful starry sky, set against the small stars below.
Zhao Xiaofeng couldn't help but praise: "Brother Tian, you are so beautiful."
Qi Tianheng smiled with satisfaction: "You did a good job. Not only did you help me buy a watch, but you also bought bottles."
Zhao Xiaofeng didn't dare to take credit: "It's mainly because you understand art, Brother Tian."
Qi Tianheng felt very happy after hearing this. He was uneducated, but he had attended concerts and visited art exhibitions of great artists with his family, and his taste had been cultivated.
"It's not just about taste, this bottle actually has another meaning."
The pure little star represents his truest love, and the beautiful pocket watch just makes up for the cheapness of simple love, adding a bit of luxury to it.
Qi Tianheng is so considerate.
"Brother Tian, do you want to confess your love tonight?" Zhao Xiaofeng asked. If Brother Tian confesses his love, he will immediately arrange for people to clear the place.
Qi Tianheng looked at the gloomy weather outside, and said to Wenhua: "God is not kind to me. Tomorrow, wait for the rain to pass and the sky will clear up."
Zhao Xiaofeng flattered him: "Brother Tian is still very particular!"
Qi Tianheng smiled: "Of course I am a fastidious person."
As he spoke, he carefully put the glass bottle into the hole in the table:
'Little Yang Sheng, wait for me!'
…
Evening self-study period.
Guo Kunnan pulled Shan Kaiquan to the small garden downstairs, where they sat on a bench in a quiet space.
Guo Kunnan finally asked:
"Brother Quan, are you really ready?"
It was obviously a brother's confession, but Guo Kunnan was actually nervous.
Shan Kaiquan was in a small dim garden, looking up at the illuminated teaching building in the distance.
That was Building 3, the building where his beloved lived. His heart suddenly calmed down and became more fulfilling than ever before:
"Um."
Guo Kunnan heard determination from it. He knew that no one in the world could stop Shan Kaiquan's actions.
He sighed inexplicably: "What are you going to do after confessing your love? Go back to the dormitory, or stay in class for a while?"
Shan Kaiquan smiled: "Stay in the class for a while, and then go back to the dormitory. The days are long. I am only a freshman in high school. I will spend a long time with Bai Yuxia in the future."
His words were full of sunshine and expectation, dispelling the restlessness of the cloudy day:
"I will confess my love after the evening self-study get out of class. Brother Nan, please go back first and remember to get me a bottle of hot water."
Guo Kunnan nodded: "Okay."
The small garden was quiet for a while.
Guo Kunnan suddenly said: "Kaiquan, you obviously didn't win the championship in the sports meeting, why did you confess your love? To be honest, it's different from what I thought."
Shan Kaiquan's smile became even brighter. He stood up from the bench, feeling more relaxed and relieved than ever before.
"Brother Nan, did you know that a person will experience growth three times in his life?"
“The first time is when you discover that you are not the center of the world;
The second time is when I realize that no matter how hard I try, there are some things that I can’t do after all;
The third time is when you know you may not be able to do something, but you still try your best."
Guo Kunnan silently became a listener.
"The biggest gain from reading and exercising is not that it improves my grades or my physical fitness, but that it makes me more confident in myself."
"Do you still remember? I had a conflict with Song Sheng when school started. I didn't beat him, so I was quite afraid of him. It's embarrassing."
"Later Wu Xiaoqi transferred to our class and played basketball behind the classroom. I was covered in gray and I didn't dare to play with him."
"Dong Qingfeng used to tease me. He had better grades and was richer than me. I felt inferior to him."
"And Bai Yuxia, it was the first time I heard that her family had a car. I couldn't explain how uncomfortable it was. Why is her family so rich?"
"But now, whether it was fear or low self-esteem, with my efforts and my father's efforts, they have all disappeared."
Shan Kaiquan talks about his mental journey.
"I don't want to wait anymore. It's already been a year. Everything must have a result."
"Whether it is success or failure, I can accept it calmly."
Shan Kaiquan lightly beat his chest.
Guo Kunnan looked at his good brother blankly, and he suddenly realized that Kaiquan had grown so much without knowing it.
Completely beyond his imagination.
Immediately, Guo Kunnan felt happy again. It was okay, okay. His Taoist heart had been constantly reshaped and growing day by day. At that time, he was afraid that Brother Quan would not be able to keep up with him.
Now it seems that the two of them are making progress together.
Guo Kunnan patted Kaiquan's shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Come on!"
…
Ten minutes before the last class of evening self-study, it started to rain.
It was raining heavily, and there was thunder and lightning outside the glass window.
"Jiang Ning, how do we get home?"
"I brought a raincoat."
Xue Yuantong said innocently: "Well, I'll get into your raincoat."
As the bell rang, the students who had already packed up rushed towards the classroom door.
Chen Siyu picked up an umbrella: "Bai Bai, let's go~"
"Well, see you tomorrow." Bai Yuxia said goodbye. She was a little late, and her mother drove her to pick her up and go home.
Guo Kunnan glanced at Shan Kaiquan, and as the students left the classroom, he walked further and further away.
After a few minutes, there were very few students left in the classroom.
Chen Qian was still reading, not caring whether it was sunny or cloudy outside.
Shan Xiao is also reading, and he sometimes leaves very late.
Under such circumstances, Shan Kaiquan waited for another two minutes. He looked back and forth, then summoned up the courage to cross the river and came to Bai Yuxia.
He forced out what he thought was the most handsome smile, used the most magnetic accent, the most humorous brain, and the most agile mouth, and said:
"Bai Yuxia, it rained today. Have you noticed that rainy days are very destined for you?"
Hearing this, Bai Yuxia raised her eyebrows, her bright eyes full of doubts: "?"
"Hahaha, your name is 'Yuxia', isn't it raining outside now?" Shan Kaiquan explained interestingly.
"Oh, it's fate." Bai Yu and Xia Qing smiled.
Shan Kaiquan saw her smile and thought she was moved by his humor. He no longer hesitated and invited decisively:
"Bai Yuxia, I have something to tell you. Can we go out and talk?"
Bai Yuxia had a vague guess. Her fair face seemed to be as deep and invisible as the ocean: "Okay."
…
The rain came suddenly, almost pouring down, and a large area of water accumulated on the ground of the campus. A pair of panicked footsteps stepped on the ground, and the water rushed towards the shoe holes.
Shan Kaiquan walked on the road in a daze, being hit by the heavy rain, but he ignored it.
Before he had gone far, his clothes were soaked through and the rain was too heavy.
He kept walking, walked into the gate of the playground, walked to the middle of the playground, and finally stopped.
He opened his arms and felt the wash of the heavy rain.
He cried.
Water splashed on top of his head, mixed with tears, and rolled down, followed by more rain.
Shan Kaiquan failed to express his love and was completely defeated.
My heart throbbed with pain, as if I had lost something important, and the psychological sustenance I had gained over the past year had completely collapsed.
This feeling is so uncomfortable that I don't want to live anymore.
Shan Kaiquan held his head in his hands.
He never thought that he would lose so miserably!
"Boom!"
Thunder suddenly appeared, and lightning was like a swimming dragon, shattering the darkness.
The pain, grievance, despair, and frustration accumulated in Shan Kaiquan's chest turned into a huge negative energy at this moment.
He was the only one in the dark on the playground in a heavy rainstorm. His clothes were already soaked through, and the cold rain kept washing over him.
He stood there, like a cold stone, motionless for a long time.
It seems to be trapped in eternal silence, forever and ever.
The violent rainstorm, the silence of Shan Kaiquan, and the thunder and lightning create a scene together.
Shan Kaiquan couldn't bear it anymore. He raised his head and let the heavy rain wash away. His whole body turned into a raging and burning fire, which will never be extinguished in this life!
He opened his mouth and shouted into the darkness, breaking through the raging rain curtain and reaching the sky:
"Bai Yuxia, whose love do you think you are accepting?"
