Chapter 36 Chapter 36 She thought, she left her dependence...

The leaves of the yellow poplar trees outside the school turned yellow without anyone noticing, and fell all over the ground when the wind blew.

That year, the city's No. 1 Middle School set up five competition classes as usual, and everyone chose the subject they were most confident in based on their own strengths.

The learning atmosphere in the second year of high school is obviously different from that in the first year. The first year of high school still carries the immaturity and ignorance of junior high school. With the pressure of entering higher education coming, everyone is planning their own future.

What kind of person do I want to be in the future? What kind of university do I want to attend? What should I do?

The competition class is scheduled for the sixth and seventh periods in West Building 3, and the biology competition class is on the second floor.

As soon as Xu Sui walked out of the classroom, he saw Jiang Changjia standing at the back door of Class 1, with her new friend beside her. Xu Sui greeted her with a smile, and the three of them followed the crowd towards West Building 3.

Xu Sui raised his eyes and looked forward, and saw Xie Zhuoyuan and Jiang Song arguing with each other.

There are also Song Shiyang and Bai Ruoxing beside them.

The girl was wearing a light pink smartwatch on her wrist and holding a pencil case as she walked next to the boy. Her loose school uniform jacket fell to her knees. Bai Ruoxing was not short, but she had a slender frame, which made the school uniform look particularly heavy.

Her hair was tied up high with a pink rubber band and an orange clip. The boy next to her was very tall, and his ankles were occasionally exposed when he walked. When they walked together, they even synchronized their steps.

It gives people the feeling that they are always evenly matched.

I don’t know what the girls said, but both of them suddenly laughed. Although Xu Sui couldn’t see their faces, he guessed something from the boy’s trembling shoulders.

She stared at it for a moment before blinking and looking away.

The girl next to me also noticed the commotion over there and suddenly said, "Hey, is the student council really talking to that transfer student?"

Although the tone was questioning, it also contained a hint of certainty. It had been a month since the rumor, but it did not seem to have disappeared. Instead, it became more and more intense.

The number of girls who used to come to see him has decreased a lot. It seems that everyone has tacitly agreed on one thing - outstanding people will always be with outstanding people.

You see, their looks, family background, grades, and intelligence are all so evenly matched and well-matched, it seems particularly regrettable that they are not together.

Those who are good-looking as Bai Ruoxing don’t have her outstanding grades, those who have better grades than her are not as pretty as her, and those whose families are not as rich as her. In the end, they are lacking in some way.

Jiang Changjia paused for a moment and said nonchalantly, "Who knows? Who cares?"

"Yeah, I'm not familiar with them anyway, but I'm really curious about what it's like for the student council member to fall in love." The girl smiled.

After all, Song Shiyang's image in the class is that of aloof and unnosy. When such a person faces the person he likes, will he act like an ordinary teenager of sixteen or seventeen?

She will blush, be shy, and be full of enthusiasm.

If he really has a girlfriend, then when they meet occasionally, he will still greet her and talk to her. In order to avoid suspicion and give his girlfriend a sense of security, will he stop talking to the opposite sex around him?

Especially her

The opposite sex with evil intentions.

Xu Sui felt that he couldn't think about it anymore.

If you keep thinking about it, you will die. It will be so painful that you will explode.

"But Chen Yun from your class is quite popular recently, Sui Sui." The girl suddenly turned her head and looked at Xu Sui. Then she was stunned and looked at Xu Sui with a little confusion.

Why...you look like you're about to cry.

She wanted to ask, but Xu Sui blinked quickly and said with a hoarse voice: "I just choked on my saliva."

The girl's voice was soft, with a slight tremor, but it was not obvious. This reason made sense, so she retracted her gaze and continued, "Of the four recognized handsome guys in our second year of high school, it seems that only Chen Yun and Jiang Song from your class have not been together, right? The other one was actually taken away by a junior or senior. It's really..."

She shook her head.

Jiang Changjia was surprised and took over the conversation: "Is Chen Yun so popular? I didn't expect it."

"Apart from his good looks, what else is attractive about him? His grades are also at the bottom." Jiang Changjia was outspoken and said directly what he was thinking. At that age when only academic performance was considered a factor, being a good student would put a filter on you, and being a poor student would also put a filter on you.

"My dear lady, can you tell this? Aren't you afraid that Chen Yun's sisters will kill you if it gets out?" The girl covered Jiang Changjia's mouth with her trembling body.

Xu Sui tilted her head and thought about it. It seemed that every time the get out of class was over, there were indeed many girls staying in the corridor outside their classroom. At first, she thought that people from the next class wanted to find someone from their class for something, but now she suddenly realized that they were here to find Chen Yun.

There are a total of fifteen people in the biology competition class. Song Shiyang didn't come today, so there are only fourteen people there. He should have gone to the mathematics competition class, or maybe to the physics class.

The fat teacher on the podium was talking at the top of his voice about the test papers handed out yesterday. Amid the clattering sound of handwriting, Xu Suiou looked up. She was sitting in the first row and caught a glimpse of the branches outside shaking in the strong wind. She thought, winter is coming again.

That evening self-study session was about language and things.

In the first Chinese class, we wrote the Chinese test assigned by the teacher. In the second class, we wrote explanations of classical Chinese characters and words, and then checked the answers. In the third class, the Chinese teacher played Newsweek, which caused a lot of "wows".

During the fifth period study session, Xu Sui suddenly felt someone poking her from behind. She turned around and saw a girl holding a note. She pointed at Chen Yun behind her and said vaguely, "He gave it to you."

Chen Yun saw them talking about him, stretched his body and looked into Xu Sui's eyes.

She turned around and opened the note, and saw that it was written in very neat, ugly handwriting: "Biology class representative, I don't know how to answer a few biology questions. Can you teach me? TVT, the group leader went to teach Zhang Jiao the questions."

After reading the note, Xu Sui was a little dazed, and suddenly remembered the days and nights of her freshman year in high school. She also asked him for help when she was overwhelmed by the questions. Now, in the blink of an eye, she became the person who needed help.

She thought she had left her dependence.

I also became someone who could stand on my own, the only two people in their group. I no longer hesitated about a question, and no longer worried about my fluctuating grades.

Xu Sui suddenly chuckled.

He picked up the draft paper, took out yesterday's test paper, stood up, and gave Chen Yun a look that told him to go out and talk. The boy smiled foolishly. He quickly picked up his things and followed Xu Sui out.

Xu Sui's seat was in the second row, so she went out through the front door. She stood there with her eyes downcast as she folded the test paper. Chen Yun walked over and stood directly on his right. As he left, his eyes casually glanced at the back door of Class 1.

"Which question do you not understand?" Xu Sui asked.

The girl's voice brought Chen Yun back to his senses. He pointed his finger at something and started to talk nonsense: "This, this, and there are eighteen and nineteen questions. I don't know the answers to them."

Seeing him pointing at the blank space on the test paper, Xu Sui wanted to turn around and leave. Noticing her intention, Chen Yun quickly pulled her sleeve and shouted, "Hey, hey, hey, don't leave. The questions haven't been explained yet."

Xu Sui had a headache, and he suppressed his temper and asked him, "Isn't it the combined application of genetic laws and sex-linked inheritance?"

Chen Yun's eyes fell on Xu Sui's reflective white profile. It was not until Xu Sui asked another question that he quickly withdrew his gaze as if he had been stung by a bee, and uttered "hmm" without swallowing the answer whole.

Xu Sui nodded, spread out the draft paper in front of him, held the pen, pointed at the question and analyzed it carefully for him.

The five-night classes at City No. 1 are always exceptionally lively. I don’t mean the kind of liveliness that comes from being noisy, but the kind of liveliness that comes from discussing problems. Some people argue over different answers; some people argue over which solution is simpler and more convenient; some people ask three questions in a row because they don’t understand a certain step.

Xu Sui asked again: "Do you understand?"

Chen Yun replied: "I understand." Xu Sui took out an eraser and erased the answers on the test paper again. She raised her eyes to look at the boy in front of her who was almost a head taller than her. Chen Yun did not understand what Xu Sui meant, and looked at Xu Sui innocently with her round dog eyes.

Xu Sui felt uncomfortable being stared at, so he handed the test paper over and said, "Write it again. Write the steps and reasons on a draft paper."

Chen Yun's face froze instantly. He looked at Xu Sui with his eyes open. Xu Sui, with her hands behind her back, also looked up at him. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke in an exceptionally calm voice: "Don't you think you can do it?"

"Why can't I write again?"

"Did you hear what I just said?"

Three soul-searching questions.

When I say I can do it, I don’t mean I really can, I’m just afraid that you will think I’m stupid.

Such a big boy lowered his head in front of Xu Sui, touched his ears embarrassedly, and muttered: "I'm sorry."

Xu Sui sighed in his heart and was about to say, "It's okay, I'll tell it again," when a cold female voice came from behind him.

"Shi Yang, tell me right here." Xu Sui's back stiffened and he rubbed his thumb on the pen. Sure enough, the next second, that voice that Xu Sui was very familiar with sounded in his ears again, rushing into his ears along with the cold winter wind, bringing with it a chill.

"good."

"Thank you." The girl's tone was smiling, and there was a hint of tenderness, which did not quite match her original tone, but it was not abrupt either, instead it brought a bit of contrast.

"Are you polite?" the boy said with a sigh.

"What?" Bai Ruoxing said coquettishly.

Song Shiyang suddenly looked up, frowning, and asked with a puzzled tone, "When did you start liking to talk like this?"

Chen Yun, who was standing by, witnessed the whole thing and couldn't help but burst out laughing. He lowered his head, his body trembling uncontrollably, and his head rubbed against his neck.

Xu Sui's original discomfort was completely swept away by this incident. He kicked Chen Yun and told him to stop laughing.

Noticing the movement around him, Song Shiyang looked up, his eyes filled with surprise. The slight sense of rudeness he had originally felt disappeared the moment he saw the girl's back.

After Xu Sui kicked Chen Yun, he quickly turned around and greeted them, "Hello."

Song Shiyang nodded, his eyes fell on the biology test paper that Xu Sui was holding, and asked, "Explain the questions to the students?"

Xu Sui bent his lower lip stiffly: "Hmm."

Song Shiyang nodded and shifted his gaze to the biology test paper he was going to explain to Bai Ruoxing. He lowered his head and made a few strokes on the draft book.

Bai Ruoxing's eyes moved between the two of them, and her tone was suggestive: "You two have a good relationship."

Xu Sui pulled the corner of his lip stiffly and replied: "It's okay, but not as close as you two."

"No way." Bai Ruoxing's smile was much more sincere this time, and then she said, "Then I won't bother you anymore."

Xu Sui didn't reply to her. He lowered his eyes and started talking about the topic with Chen Yun again. He seemed to notice that Xu Sui was in a bad mood, and he stopped laughing and listened carefully. After Xu Sui said a few words, he almost knew how to write it.

While Chen Yun was writing the questions, Xu Sui stood there quietly, holding his left wrist with his right hand. A boy's clear voice kept coming from behind him. His tone was as clean as his own, and it felt like a lemon.

She listened carefully as he explained a problem to another girl. It was about mathematics, and the way of speaking and problem-solving techniques were familiar to her. Even the interjections, which he himself had not noticed, were exactly the same.

She wouldn't be the only one, and he wouldn't be hers.

In one's life, one will meet many people, some of whom are passed by, some of whom are unforgettable, some of whom are loved and hated, and finally forgotten in this world.

Xu Sui thought that she was probably just someone who passed by him in his long life.

She knew she was greedy.

But the gentleness he inadvertently revealed really made her feel that there might be a chance for them, as long as she tried hard enough.

Try to get into the top 50, try to get into the university he wants to go to, try to transcend the so-called "class", and break the bad habit of "marrying someone of equal status".

This would take countless efforts, and Xu Sui was not afraid, but she was afraid that time waited for no one, not even her.

He'll fall in love with someone else first.

Isn't this already liked?

**

That winter, a dark horse named Xu Sui emerged from the No. 1 Middle School. She won first place in biology, English and Chinese, and her ranking soared to tenth, becoming the third in Class 2. That semester, her reputation spread throughout the No. 1 Middle School, and she seemed to be on the verge of surpassing Song Shiyang.

Countless female students in the first year of high school who have average grades take her as an example and work hard to improve themselves.

From then on, Xu Sui became synonymous with "hard work" and "self-improvement".

At the same time, she and Song Shiyang tied for first place in the biology simulation competition, and successfully became the seedlings of Peking University and Tsinghua University in the eyes of the city's first teacher team.

That winter vacation should have been a very happy one, but Zhou Xiaoling came back while Xu Sui was away.

As the year was coming to an end, Xu Sui's cousin called and asked her to go back to Xiangbei for the Spring Festival this year. She hadn't kowtowed to the old man for a year, so she came back to burn some incense. Of course, Xu Sui would not and could not refuse.

So in the cold wind, she set out on the journey back to her hometown.

As soon as she returned, she saw Chen Yun, whom she hadn't seen for a long time, at Xiangbei Railway Station. Naturally, she was shocked.

"Are you from Xiangbei?" she asked.

"Yes. We are from the same hometown." The boy was wearing a long black down jacket and carrying luggage.

"My father does business in Chongqing, so I went to the first high school in the city." The boy grinned, as if he was particularly happy to see Xu Sui during the New Year.

"I'm leaving first, bye." Xu Sui followed the crowd towards the exit, and as she walked, she heard someone calling her.

Turning around, she heard the boy shouting at her: "Happy New Year!"

She also waved in response.

After paying homage to her grandmother and wishing New Year's greetings to nearby relatives, she returned home a day earlier than planned without telling her family. So she unexpectedly saw the luggage at the entrance of the community and a familiar figure. Before she could say a word, the woman got into a taxi.

I didn't say a word, and there was no time to say anything.
