The holiday is short, nearly a week has passed since Christmas. (I’ll wait for a while, I won’t sleep today, and I’ll see if I can read another chapter)
The students in the key class were once again plunged into the endless sea of learning.
When the last class ended on Friday afternoon, Ai Liang put the books inside the desk as usual, then covered it with a tablecloth, preparing for the weekend holiday.
Even though this was not the first time Ai Liang had done this, Chen Zili next to him still let out a cry of envy.
"That's great. I also want to take a rest every weekend."
Ai Liang smoothed the wrinkles of the tablecloth, and then used magnets to fix the corners of the tablecloth on both sides of the desk: "Then you should work hard to improve your grades and meet the leave standards. Yu Xin will naturally approve your leave."
"Stop joking, the score lines drawn by Lao Ban can only be touched by anyone except you?"
Chen Zili looked burned out, like a salted fish, staring blankly at the sky outside the window: "If Fang Xinlei is still here, she can give it a try, I'll forget it..."
"Old Chen, I'm leaving first. Remember to put away my clothes for me tonight!"
Peng Yuan stood at the back door and waved to Chen Zili. After Chen Zili raised his hand to reply, he jumped out of the back door with a puff of smoke.
"What about him?" Ai Liang turned around and asked.
"Peng Yuan must have special circumstances. After all, he came back from abroad to go to school. It's normal for the teacher to give him some preferential treatment."
Chen Zili waved his hand weakly: "Students like us who have passed the entrance examination with average academic level are the ones who have the hardest time."
Ai Liang ignored Chen Zili's self-deprecation and turned to look at Ye Qing behind him.
The learning level described by Chen Zili is average, which is compared to the key classes of Qianhua Experimental Middle School.
Every student in the key class would be a top student in any school except our own.
Even Yi Wenna can maintain her position in the top five in her age group by going to other schools.
So, what is classmate Yi Wenna doing right now?
"Xiaoqing, let me share the apartment with you, okay~"
Yiwenna hugged Ye Qing's arm tightly and refused to let her leave.
"Let go, you."
Ye Qing swung his arm, but failed to shake her off: "If you live outside and go to and from school, you still have to catch the bus. When it is time to study in the evening, if you miss the last bus, you have to walk back.
Isn't it good to live in the dormitory? Why do you have to run out and live there?"
"It's okay! I can call a taxi!"
Yiwenna said pitifully: "I live alone in the dormitory, and I don't even have anyone to talk to. If this continues, I will go crazy."
Ai Liang turned around and faced the two of them and said, "I didn't see you crazy when Fang Xinlei ignored you in the past."
Yiwenna showed her white teeth and bared her teeth at Ai Liang: "I want you to take care of it!"
"I don't want to worry about it, but if I delay it any longer, I won't be able to catch the bus."
Ai Liang didn't take Yi Wenna's words to heart, he only cared about what to eat tonight.
Yiwenna's expression froze.
Every time Ai Liang criticized her, he used objective facts and couldn't find any excuse to refute.
For example, after you have made it clear that the bus is about to arrive, if you continue to dwell on it, it will be your own problem.
Yiwenna let go of her hand angrily, and then glared at Ai Liang fiercely.
This is called the loser-no-loser formation.
"Okay, okay, when you get the approval from the head teacher, come and talk to me about accommodation."
Ye Qing quickly pulled her arm out of Yiwenna's arms: "There are not taxis around the school every night. How can the teacher safely let you, a girl, go home in the middle of the night?"
"I don't have to go to morning and evening self-study." Yi Wenna muttered in a low voice.
Hearing this, Ye Qing raised her hand to hold Yi Wenna's head: "You better forget it. Your grades are already in the middle and lower reaches. If you don't go to night self-study and miss a lot of courses, you will become the last one."
Ye Qing's heart-wrenching words made Yi Wenna narrow her eyes in pain.
Ye Qing took this opportunity and quickly grabbed Ai Liang's hand to avoid him.
After Christmas, Ye Qing's attitude towards Ai Liang became more and more casual, and she would lean in from time to time.
Fortunately, the action usually doesn't last long, and it won't take long for her to pull away on her own.
So Ai Liang acquiesced to these small actions.
After the two left, Chen Zili looked at the lonely Yi Wenna and couldn't help but shake his head.
As a result, he was immediately glared at by the latter.
In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, Chen Zili quickly picked up his homework and headed to the office.
As he walked, he muttered: "I'd better persuade Xu Tao to give up later. I don't like men at all..."
……………………
The bus stop outside the school.
Ye Qing sat on the bench next to Ai Liang, waiting for the bus to arrive.
Ai Liang has just thought about what to prepare for dinner tonight.
As a result, Ye Qing spoke first and said, "You don't have to do my share tonight. I will go directly to the supermarket to work later."
Ai Liang glanced at her in surprise, but didn't say much.
He just said a calm "Oh".
This made Ye Qing couldn't help but bump Ai Liang's shoulder: "Don't you know why?"
Ai Liang said sternly: "I will naturally tell you what you want to say. It would not be appropriate for me to pry into what you don't want to say."
Hearing these tough words, Ye Qing pouted and stretched out her head to flick Ai Liang's head: "Elm head."
"Sometimes asking appropriate questions can better reflect the degree of concern for someone." Ye Qing said pretending to be absent-minded.
"I know, but I think since you are still in the mood to joke now, it will definitely not be a big deal."
Ai Liang calmly looked at the bus approaching in the distance, and slowly stood up: "Besides, I already know enough about your character, and it is impossible to deepen my understanding through questioning."
Ye Qing also stood up and walked to Ai Liang to stand next to her: "Really? Are you sure you really understand me?"
"learn."
Ai Liang said in a decisive tone.
Ye Qing raised her hand and shook her index finger slightly: "Well... Ah Liang, being too arrogant is not a good habit."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ai Liang did not respond.
"But since you know me so well, I will forgive you this time."
Ye Qing shook her head and said with a smile.
"I didn't make any mistakes in the first place, so I don't need you to forgive me." Ai Liang replied.
"Wow, I've turned into a straight man again..."
Ye Qing boarded the bus while quarreling with Ai Liang.
Since she had to go directly to the supermarket next, Ye Qing did not go home with Ai Liang today.
About ten minutes later, Ye Qing got off the car near the supermarket.
As soon as she entered the door, the staff at the door greeted her: "Xiao Qing? You came much earlier than usual today... By the way, after the boss asked you to come, go to her office."
Ye Qing smiled and nodded: "I know, so I came over as soon as school is over today."
The staff also smiled at her and waved: "Well, then you go quickly."
Ye Qing did not go to the break room to change into work clothes, but went directly to the door of Zhu Lan's office.
After confirming that no one was around, Ye Qing pushed the door open and entered directly without knocking.
The office was empty at this time, and Zhu Lan could not be seen at all.
But Ye Qing didn't have much surprise. After entering the door, she locked the door directly, then walked to the filing cabinet and pushed it hard.
A door blocked by a filing cabinet appeared on the wall.
Ye Qing opened the door, and there was a long and narrow storage room inside, which was less than half the size of the office outside.
For example, the desks in the classroom can only be placed a little more than three side by side.
Zhu Lan, on the other hand, was sitting on the innermost chair, reading a report.
After seeing Ye Qing, she pointed to the door.
Ye Qing didn't say anything, but directly grabbed the groove at the back of the filing cabinet, restored the filing cabinet from the inside, and then closed the door with a bang.
Ye Qing pulled a bench from under the table, sat in front of Zhu Lan and asked, "So, what is the content of this report?"
"The recent big events in Qianhua City have little to do with us."
Zhu Lan looked at the report in his hand with a complicated expression, and kept poking his sun with the cap of the pen: "According to the intelligence collected, it seems that the Countermeasures Bureau and the Apostles Association had a fight in Qianhua City."
Ye Qing was stunned for a moment and said suspiciously: "Eh? Real or fake? I don't feel it at all!"
Zhu Lan handed the A4 paper in his hand to Ye Qing: "Of course the information is true, but that was a month ago."
Ye Qing took the report and glanced at it briefly: "A month ago...could it be related to the great purge in Jiuhua Outer City?"
"Not only that, Shengjia Group seems to be related to these things. If it weren't for the management of Shengjia Group, which was taken over by Countermeasures Section 3, and I happened to be aware of it, we might not even know what happened in Qianhua City recently.
"
Zhu Lan sighed: "After all, we are a group of exiles. We cannot collect first-hand intelligence at all. We can only conduct post-facto analysis and deduce what happened in the past."
Ye Qing paused and said: "Shengjia Group...Cheng Lejia?"
Zhu Lan nodded and looked at Ye Qing: "Yes, but you don't seem surprised."
"It's not surprising, it's just that there was some vague speculation before this."
Ye Qing turned to the next page of the report and continued: "After the great purge in Jiuhua Outer City, Cheng Lejia, Jin Pingan and Fang Xinlei all disappeared. It is inevitable that people will link these together."
Zhu Lan tapped the table with her index finger: "It should be more than that, right?"
"...Also, I didn't sense anyone's emotions from Cheng Lejia, so I was suspicious of him from the beginning."
Ye Qing said solemnly: "When he laughs, he doesn't feel happy, and when he is in trouble, he doesn't feel any annoyance. The whole person is like a set program."
After hearing Ye Qing's explanation, Zhu Lan immediately stopped tapping her finger on the table: "...Why haven't I heard you mention this to me?"
Ye Qing threw the report on the table casually, put his chin on his hands and said: "So what, besides just making you more troubled, is there any other use?
Judging from Cheng Lejia's behavior, he probably didn't come for us. If you don't know who he is from, do you dare to take the initiative to investigate him? "
Zhu Lan was speechless for a moment: "...but I can at least help you change schools."
Ye Qing said weakly: "Goodbye, I finally got into a school that gives out scholarships every month.
If I were to go to another school, I would have to work an extra job in order to earn enough money for my expenses."
Zhu Lan looked at Ye Qing who looked helpless, and said in a strange way: "Then why don't you just become my sister, so that you don't have to cover up the issue of financial resources."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire secret room fell into a deathly silence.
In the end, Ye Qing smiled and declined: "No need... I am alone, which is actually quite good, at least I won't..."
Ye Qing stopped talking as she spoke and was silent.
