Class 8, Grade 2, the desk on the south side of the classroom, against the wall. Geng Lu hasn't come to school yet. The person sitting in her seat at the moment is Chen Siqing from Class 10.
In front of the twin sisters, there was a math test paper and scratch paper, but their gel pens were put down.
Chen Siyu sighed: "Oh, inequalities are so difficult, I can't do them at all."
A question stumped the two sisters, making it difficult for them to move forward.
Chen Siyu looked forward and saw that the seats at Bai Yuxia's table were in an unfamiliar layout. She sighed: "Sister, we must get back what we lost."
Chen Siyu was once so happy that Chai Wei, who was transferred to another class, took away her seat. She was homeless and ended up living at the same table as Geng Lu.
But in her heart, she still longs to go home, to her hometown beside Bai Yuxia...
Sister Chen Siqing: "I can't do it either."
When the two girls were worried, Jiang Ning and Xue Yuantong walked into the classroom.
Chen Siyu felt like she was seeing a savior. When Jiang Ning sat down, she quickly asked for help: "Jiang Ning, can you teach me this question later in the evening self-study?"
Jiang Ning: "No problem."
Just a little effort.
Seeing this, Chen Siqing closed the test paper. When Chen Siyu saw her like this, she suddenly felt heartbroken:
"Sister, I have Jiang Ning to help me, but you don't. Don't you know how to solve problems by yourself? Mathematics is your strong point?"
Chen Siqing said: "Wait until he teaches you, and then you teach me."
When her sister Chen Siyu heard this, she felt even more distressed: "Sister, I am only a sophomore in high school now. There may be more powerful students in the class who will covet Yuxia in the future. The competition will be fierce by then. If you are like you and encounter difficulties, you will think of giving up.
If we don’t think about it, how can we sit at the same table as Yuxia in the future?"
"Don't you have a sense of urgency?" Chen Siyu hit the point with every sentence.
My sister Chen Siqing was said to be at a loss for a moment and a little ashamed.
She briefly recalled that, indeed, her grades were slightly better than her younger sister's in the past. Since her younger sister was tutored by Yu Xia and Jiang Ning, her grades gradually equaled hers.
Chen Siqing couldn't think of a reason to refute, so her tone was a little weaker: "Sister, isn't there still you?"
When Chen Siyu heard this, she became even more angry and her eyes widened: "You still expect me? I'm not as good as you!"
Sister Chen Siqing: ...As expected of my sister.
Jiang Ning heard this and said to Tongtong by the window: "Are you tired from cooking every day?"
Xue Yuantong was flying with her arms on the table. When she heard this, she replied without thinking:
"I cook all the food at home, so of course I'm tired!"
Jiang Ning suddenly said: "No wonder I'm not tired at all."
…
The preparation bell for evening self-study rang, and almost everyone in the class was here except for the male students who stayed in the dormitory.
Chen Siqing also returned to Class 10 where she was, and Chen Siyu spoke to Jiang Ning:
"Hey, there are a lot less holidays. I only have more evening self-study and Saturday mornings than before, but this lack of time makes me feel that the weekend goes by so fast."
Xue Yuantong: "Because I could sleep in two places before, but now I only have one."
Jiang Ning: "So after graduation, I have to find a job with weekend breaks."
Chen Siyu: "You think too far ahead."
After hearing this, Chai Wei at the front desk said with a smile: "Whoever graduates and works part-time can't stand working part-time the most. The thought of being taken care of is unpleasant."
After he finished speaking, Chen Siyu had a conversation through the air: "You have to have great skills to stop working, right?"
Compared with high school boys who are in the second grade, girls are more realistic. Chen Siyu is thinking about finding a job with a monthly income of 5,000 yuan after graduation. In this way, she and her sister can make over 10,000 yuan together.
Chai Wei: "There are so many opportunities now. In the Internet era, college is the best place to start a business. I will start a business when I go to college. When I graduate, the company should have a certain scale. I will work until I retire at the age of 25, and then I will play every day."
"I have thought about many plans. Do you know about VR? I will set up a VR company by then."
Chai Wei talked non-stop, full of confidence, and showed off his dreams, but his glance at Bai Yuxia from time to time revealed the unrest in his heart.
After hearing this, Bai Yuxia's expression didn't change at all, as if nothing could arouse her interest.
Between her slender fingers, a gel pen was flowing rapidly, which was dizzying.
Chai Wei used to hate other people's pen-twisting. In his impression, the pen-twisting boys were all those boys in the class who liked to show off, and they were very bad at it. The pens would fall to the ground from time to time, making a "snap" sound, which was very annoying.
Annoying.
However, Bai Yuxia's pen-turning is completely different. Just looking at it is pleasing to the eye.
Chai Wei chatted a few words about his grand plans for the future, but failed to attract Bai Yuxia's attention. He took the initiative to find a topic:
"Bai Yuxia, your pen-turning skills are really good."
Xue Yuantong said: "It's okay."
Chai Wei looked at Xue Yuantong. He now knew that the little boy in front of him who slept in class every day was number one in the school.
But most of the top students specialize in one thing and are useless in other aspects.
Chai Wei defended: "You may not understand Bai Yuxia's pen-turning skills, but according to the people I have met, it is no exaggeration to say that her skills are definitely the first."
Xue Yuantong cast a great summoning spell: "Jiang Ning."
Jiang Ning bought a can of Red Bull and was drinking it slowly when Tongtong failed to summon him.
Seeing this, Bai Yuxia stopped writing silently. She had seen Jiang Ning's pen-turning skills before and was amazed.
Once upon a time, Bai Yuxia had longed for her, but after returning home, she failed to steal her master.
Chai Wei vaguely felt that the atmosphere was not right. He continued to look for topics and expressed his opinion: "The flexibility of the opponent is required for pen-turning. The softer the hand, the better. My hands are very stiff, so I can't turn."
In junior high school, there was a boy in the class who was a pen-turner, and many girls gathered around to learn how to do pen-turn. At that time, Chai Wei wanted to imitate him, but he was unable to do so.
As he said that, he stared at Bai Yuxia's hands. Her hands were particularly beautiful. They were slender, long, plump and white, with green pearly nails. They were as beautiful as works of art, making people feel the urge to hold them and care for them.
Bai Yuxia: "I think practice makes perfect."
Chai Wei realized that the opportunity had come, and he denied it at first: "No, the flexibility of the hand determines the upper limit of pen turning. People with your pen turning skills must have very soft hands."
He opened his hand and said seriously: "If you don't believe it, we can compete to see who is softer."
A stupid girl might have been fooled, but Bai Yuxia had experienced similar tricks countless times.
Seeing that she didn't respond, Chai Wei continued: "Girls' hands are very soft because girls have a higher body fat percentage."
Bai Yuxia: "According to your point of view, wouldn't it be true that the fatter a girl is, the higher her body fat percentage will be and the softer her fingers will be?"
Chai Wei said with satisfaction: "That's true."
Guo Kunnan passed by here. After hearing this, he said happily, "Jiaojiao's hands are not soft. She almost gave Liu Chuandao a concussion with one punch."
After several battles, Pang Jiao's explosive strength shocked the whole class.
Chai Wei's point of view was instantly overturned, and he was embarrassed.
Looking for a reason to add, he said: "The softness of the hands is also related to the bones. Some people are born with soft bones. Don't believe it, that kind of softness is not the same as the softness of meat, but comes from the flexibility and softness of the bones."
The more he pulled, the more crooked he became.
Jiang Ning said: "As long as you have compassion in your heart, even if you touch an iron can, it will be soft."
Chai Wei finally waited for him to speak. Ever since he sat at the same table with Bai Yuxia, he had tried so hard to say a few words to Bai Yuxia. However, Bai Yuxia often turned around and took the initiative to talk to Jiang Ning, many times a day, which made him feel unhappy.
.
Chai Wei refuted: "Blow it, can you try it by touching an iron can?"
Jiang Ning had just finished drinking Red Bull. He held the can with a little force and easily crushed it in front of the attention of several people.
He said: "It is indeed soft."
Jiang Ning raised his hand and threw it towards the back row. The Red Bull can made a parabola and flew towards the trash can, making a "boom" sound.
Wang Longlong quickly raised his head and recorded: "Jiang Ning made it again. The current throwing champion of Class 8 is Jiang Ning!"
…
New classmate Tang Jing held a water cup and went to the front of the classroom to fetch water. She found that one of the drinking fountains was occupied by Zhang Chi and the other pure water bucket was out of water.
She yelled: "Who should carry the water today? There is no water. Didn't you see?"
Everyone looked at each other in confusion. Hu Jun, the life committee member, looked through the roster and prepared to point out the students on duty.
Huang Yuzhu shouted: "I'm going to carry water!"
He rushed to the water fountain, took away the bucket, and headed to the school water room alone, leaving only his back without hesitation.
Seeing someone carrying water, Tang Jing returned to her seat. Although there was still a water dispenser, she didn't take it. The bucket of water was from before the holiday. In comparison, she wanted to drink fresh purified water.
Bai Yuxia chatted with Jiang Ning for a few words, then she turned around. At the table in front of her was Shang Caiwei, a taciturn and very introverted girl.
Since she moved here, the two of them haven't spoken a word. Bai Yuxia didn't know the other person's personality, so naturally she didn't take the initiative to talk.
At this time, Pastor Liu passed by the door. He first took a few steps and then turned back.
Shang Caiwei's sense of presence was too low, causing Liu Chuandao to ignore this girl.
He backed up to the door, leaned against the half-open door, and assumed the pose of an idol drama, elegant and chic, with a charming smile:
"Your name is Shang Caiwei, right? Lend me your cell phone to make a call."
Shang Caiwei's palm-sized face was hidden under her hair. She was living a quiet life when she was suddenly approached. She hurriedly raised her head, and her evasive eyes met Liu Chuandao's evil face.
Liu Chuandao was immediately amazed, 'Damn it, I actually ignored such a beautiful girl!'
His mood at this moment was like that of a poor tomb robber who was extremely surprised when he discovered the tomb of the emperor.
Shang Caiwei: "Sorry, my phone is only 95% charged."
Liu Chuandao was stunned, he wanted to talk again.
"Give in, you're blocking the way." Shan Kaiquan stood at the door.
Liu Chuandao turned aside and made way for Xin Youling to sit on the podium. She had recently heard rumors about Liu Chuandao, which were extremely outrageous.
So she had a bad impression of him. As the class monitor, she had the responsibility to protect the girls in the class.
Xin Youling shouted: "Class is about to start. Everyone should go back to their seats. The head teacher may come over."
No matter how awesome Liu Chuandao was, he was still afraid of the head teacher, so he stopped pestering him and returned to his seat honestly.
Shang Caiwei was relieved.
…
Two minutes after the evening self-study started, Huang Yuzhu carried the pure water bucket to the classroom and put it on the water dispenser.
Hu Jun in the back row shouted: "Yuzhu, you are not responsible for carrying water. I will deduct one day from you. Don't carry it next time."
Huang Yuzhu waved his hand and said honestly, "It's okay. I'll be on duty next time."
He wiped his sweat.
Shan Xiao cheered for him: "Yuzhu, thank you for your hard work."
Jiang Yanan: "Huang Yuzhu is such a nice person."
Shen Qing'e: "Yes."
Dong Qingfeng: "When it comes to dedication, Yuzhu has nothing to say."
Huang Yuzhu's hard-working character has penetrated into the minds of everyone in Class 8. In terms of praise, he is definitely not inferior to Huang Zhongfei and Shan Xiao.
Tang Jing glanced at him for a few times, smiled coquettishly and said to Meng Ziyun: "I found an honest man."
Meng Ziyun saw her expression and reminded: "They even helped you carry water, so don't mess with them."
She knew very well the temperament of this sister and how complicated her methods were.
Tang Jing trembled with laughter: "Why should I mess with him? I'm giving him a chance to chase me."
She realized that if she could control Huang Yuzhu, an honest man, it might be a great help for her to take revenge on Pang Jiao's gang.
Meng Ziyun saw that Tang Jing didn't take it to heart, so she said no more.
Anyway, she realized that Class 8 was not simple, and she had been trying to be as low-key as possible and not to be in the limelight.
…
Evening self-study is over.
The sky is full of stars and the night wind blows.
Jiang Ning rode a battery car and took Xue Yuantong home.
Xue Yuantong was chirping in the back row: "I went to the office in the evening, and the puffs Teacher Guo gave me were delicious! They looked like ice cream puffs!"
Her little face was full of thoughts.
Unfortunately, Teacher Guo only gave her two, and she lost a few mouthfuls, which was not enough.
"Jiang Ning, have you eaten Teacher Guo's puffs?"
"have eaten."
"How many did you eat?" Xue Yuantong asked.
"8."
Xue Yuantong: "Huh? Why do you have 8?"
"Because I covet three of you."
There was a brief silence between the two, and then Jiang Ning received a few small fists. It didn't hurt at all, it was like being scratched. Her hands were soft and the blows felt crisp.
The night in Heba is particularly peaceful, with no noise at all.
Xue Yuantong got the slingshot through Jiang Ning's hand. She made gestures while riding in the car, feeling like a cavalry on TV, brave and unstoppable.
"Jiang Ning, Jiang Ning, where do you think I can hit?" She stretched out the rubber band and aimed at the night sky.
The next second, she let go of her hand and the mud ball popped out.
Unfortunately, after the tiny mud ball flew out, it quickly disappeared under the night.
"I can't see it anymore." Xue Yuantong said to himself.
Jiang Ning raised his head and looked at the vast blue night, dotted with countless stars, blinking one by one.
He told Xue Yuantong: "That projectile can hit the stars in the Milky Way. You will fly into the sky like it in the future."
The projectiles flew without a trace, but Xue Yuantong's heart was filled with Jiang Ning's words.
"Huh, sweet words." Xue Yuantong forgave him for stealing the puffs.
Jiang Ning: "No."
What he said was also the trajectory of Xue Yuantong's life. She went from being a little girl to becoming radiant, like a meteor streaking across his past life.
Xue Yuantong touched the slingshot made by Jiang Ning and felt the breeze blowing. She raised her head again and saw the summer night, the bright moon, the stars...
She said seriously: "I don't want to fly to the sky, I want to stay by your side."
