I didn’t finish the English class because I was interrupted by the class meeting.

Lao Yang placed the report card on the desk and said, "I hope everyone had a great time during the holiday."

Chen Qiu happily replied: "It's okay!"

"Shut up," Lao Yang said, "You've lost the most."

There was a burst of laughter in the class.

"Okay, now that everyone's having fun, then study hard for the start of school. Once you pass the exam, you're done... If you want to see your results later, come and get them yourself."

Lao Yang opened a Word document and said, "I discussed with several subject teachers and decided to hold a group progress ranking competition for our class this semester. Above is the list of groups."

Chen Qiu raised his hand: "Old Yang! There's no way for the top student in the class to improve!"

"So I'm talking about 'groups'. After each exam, we rank the students based on the total improvement of the two people," Lao Yang explained.

Xiao Mingyang was in a good mood when he saw himself and Li Xiangze in the same row. "Old Yang, what's the reward for ranking first?"

"The top-ranked group will hand over the monthly sanitation to the last-place group. You can also come to me for takeout," Lao Yang said. "Just don't spend all my private savings."

"Long live Old Yang!"

"Lao Yang! You are my God!"

Old Yang waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright. Li Xiangze, come with me. The others can study on their own."

office.

Lao Yang pulled a brown paper bag from the drawer. "This is the scholarship and meal allowance for this semester."

Li Xiangze took it and said, "Thank you, teacher."

"Just call me Lao Yang along with them," Lao Yang said, taking a sip of tea. "Many students have applied for meal allowances this semester, so the amount is relatively small when it's distributed. If it's not enough..."

"Enough." Li Xiangze said.

"Your former classmate was my college roommate. I talked to him about you before school started," Old Yang patted his shoulder and looked at him with a smile. "Good boy! I've arranged for Xiao Ming to sit and live with you, and be in the same group. Mainly because he's popular. Playing with him will make it easier for him to integrate into our class. But he can be very annoying sometimes. If you get annoyed, tell me and I'll deal with him."

Li Xiangze smiled and said, "No need, he's a nice guy."

"It seems like you two have a good relationship," Old Yang said with a smile, "Then I'm relieved. Xiao Mingyang is very poor at liberal arts and is incredibly lazy. If you have the energy, call him. If not, that's fine too. He's a righteous man and won't drag his friends into trouble."

"good."

"By the way, remember to go to 413 to fill out the application form during the last class in the afternoon." Lao Yang reminded.

The last class in the afternoon is over.

Xiao Mingyang had nothing to do, so he went to 413 with Li Xiangze.

Lu Qiyang looked up at the application form and said meaningfully, "No one outside the venue is allowed to interfere."

"No," Xiao Mingyang showed his signature smile, "I'm here to wait for my table mates to have dinner together."

Lu Qiyang chuckled twice, not understanding why. "Then take your new team member's application back with you."

"Okay," Xiao Mingyang received his wife's application form without any surprise, "Wow! It's my dear deskmate!"

Li Xiangze raised his eyebrows: "?"

Lu Qiyang: “…”

Lu Qiyang: "Go away."

Xiao Mingyang smiled at him and hugged Li Xiangze: "I'll treat you to dinner next time."

Lu Qiyang waved the application form and said, “Get out of here!”

Xiao Mingyang looked back as he walked: "Remember!"

Lu Qiyang: “…”

Lu Qiyang: "Go to hell!"

Li Xiangze: “?”

Li Xiangze: "Are you two having a conflict?"

Xiao Mingyang chuckled: "No."

Just dug a corner.

＊

In the first week of school, Xiao Mingyang's group was on duty.

Each weekly duty group has several boarding students. The boarding students have to stay on campus when their group is on duty. They are responsible for the discipline and attendance of the students from the three grades who stay on campus.

After the inspection, you can go back to the Discipline Inspection Department's activity room to rest.

Li Xiangze was on duty for the first time and was not familiar with the job. Xiao Mingyang took him to check the first and second grade students, then let him go to check the third grade and left by himself.

There are quite a few senior students staying in school. There are four of them in one classroom for other grades.

It was not a small project and it took almost ten minutes to complete.

The weather has been very hot these days. Li Xiangze took off his coat and put it on his shoulders. As soon as he reached the door of the activity room, he felt a slight coolness inside. He put his hand on the door handle, but before he could press it down, the door opened from the inside.

A chill rushed out of the room. Xiao Mingyang had a big smile on his face, sweating all over, and all the buttons of his school uniform short-sleeved shirt were undone. "I just heard your footsteps, come in quickly!"

Li Xiangze raised his eyebrows: "Did you just go jogging?"

Xiao Mingyang smiled without saying anything and pulled him in.

Li Xiangze was stunned.

There was a projector in the activity room, and the movie playing on the projector was the Conan movie that had just been released not long ago. He had wanted to watch this movie for a long time, but had never found the time. The table was filled with barbecue and various snacks.

It was very warm, reminding him of when he was in Donghe County No. 1 Middle School. Every day when he came home, the food was on the table, and the TV was playing a program, it didn't matter what program, but there was always some sound. His mother would sit on the sofa and say with a smile, "You're back!"

Xiao Mingyang hugged him with a smile: "Take a break this weekend, Teacher Li?"

"Today's content will be dictated tomorrow morning." Li Xiangze tilted his head to the side, his eyes a little red.

Xiao Mingyang took the squid and put it next to his mouth: "Try it, the grilled squid here is delicious."

Li Xiangze looked into his sparkling eyes and took a bite as if possessed by some unknown force.

Xiao Mingyang looked expectant: "Is it delicious? Is it delicious?"

"tasty."

"Isn't that right!" Xiao Mingyang also took a bite.

Of course, he specifically asked Xiao Dayang's wife which barbecue and snack restaurant she liked.

In just over ten minutes, he ran from the teaching building to the school gate to pick up takeout, then went to the Culture and Sports Department next door to get a projector. He came back to find the best location for the projector and figure out how to use the equipment.

I'm so tired.

But he felt it was worth it to sit with his wife, eat and watch a movie.

Li Xiangze was so absorbed in watching the movie that he held the skewers in his hand for a long time without moving.

Xiao Mingyang simply took off all the skewers, put them on tin foil, and fed his wife a few bites from time to time.

From this angle, Xiao Mingyang could just see the small mole at the corner of his wife's mouth. When he chewed, the small mole would move with him.

Very cute.

He didn't know what the movie was about, he just felt the joy and satisfaction of feeding, and he only remembered Li Xiangze's thank you before going to bed.

There is a lot of free time on campus, and many senior high school students will choose to go to the library, where it is difficult to find a seat.

So Li Xiangze chose to get up half an hour earlier and grab a seat in the library while there were few people.

When I opened my eyes, the bed next to mine was already made and it looked like I had been gone for a long time.

It took him a few seconds to realize that the other person had left.

I feel a little lost.

Usually, no matter how early Xiao Mingyang gets up, he will wait for him to go out together and take him to have breakfast.

He almost never ate breakfast in his previous school, so he always carried a few White Rabbit snacks in his pocket to prevent anemia.

After coming here, this habit disappeared.

Xiao Mingyang was not there today, so he did not go to the cafeteria and went straight to the library.

There were already several people in the library at this point.

Xiao Mingyang was sitting on the steps at the entrance of the library. When he saw him coming, he stood up and walked towards him.

"Have you had breakfast?" Xiao Mingyang's hair was a little messy, but his eyes were bright.

Li Xiangze hesitated for a moment: "No."

Xiao Mingyang took out a cup of soy milk and two steamed buns from his schoolbag: "I've got the seat, let's have breakfast first."

Li Xiangze stared at the few hairs sticking up on his head, reached out and pressed them down, then took the breakfast: "Thank you."

Xiao Mingyang stared at him blankly for a long time before clearing his throat. His ears turned red as he looked at the tree behind him. "You're welcome."

Li Xiangze raised his eyebrows and looked at him without saying anything.

Xiao Mingyang's face burned. He still didn't dare look directly at Li Xiangze. He just hugged him, not daring to look at him, and kept his eyes on the ground: "Let's go in."

"Yeah." Li Xiangze put his hands in his pockets and stuck his head into his sight.

Xiao Mingyang moved away immediately as if he had been electrocuted.

Li Xiangze raised his eyebrows: "Am I ugly?"

"no."

"Then why do you hide when you see me?"

Xiao Mingyang thought for a moment and said, "You are too handsome, and I feel inferior."

Li Xiangze: "..."

Li Xiangze: "I'll give you three minutes to review. After you finish, you'll start dictation immediately."

Xiao Mingyang hadn't recovered yet and still didn't dare look at him: "Is there a reward for getting all the answers right?"

Li Xiangze thought for a moment and said, "If I get both yesterday's and today's units correct, I'll get a reward."

"Yes, sir!"

5 minutes later...

Xiao Mingyang lay on the table, staring at Xiao Gan, a junior high school English teacher, and was so sleepy that he didn't know what day it was.

Li Xiangze sat across from him, reviewing the English words he had just memorized: "You did well in memorizing them yesterday."

He pushed the notebook across the way.

Xiao Mingyang looked up at him with a dazed look, as if he was about to faint in the next second.

Li Xiangze clicked his tongue and poked his cheek with a pen: "Wake up and sit up straight."

Xiao Mingyang yawned, got up lazily, and looked at the words with his chin propped up. After a while, he became dazed again.

Finally, he went to see Zhou Gong completely. Seeing that his head was about to slip from his palm, Li Xiangze reached out to hold it. The other party trembled and his eyes cleared instantly.

Li Xiangze withdrew his hand and pinched his index finger and thumb.

The face... is quite soft.

Li Xiangze retracted his wandering thoughts and said, "Sit down."

Xiao Mingyang was completely awake.

He is not stupid, he just can't memorize words because he is lazy.

Judy once said that if he had spent half the time studying physics on memorizing English, he could have gotten 120 points by memorizing every letter without any special techniques.

But unfortunately, in Xiao Ming's mind, physics has the highest status, second only to mathematics, and English and Chinese are tied for last.

As long as he memorizes it seriously, there will be no problem of not being able to memorize even one unit in an hour. At the very least, he can memorize two units, not to mention junior high school English words.

So an hour later, Xiao Mingyang listened to both units of today in one breath, and passed the dictation with all correct scores.

Li Xiangze returned the notebook to him: "What reward do you want?"

Give me a hug.

Just as Xiao Mingyang was about to open his mouth, he suddenly remembered what his military advisor had said, and swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue: "Save it for now, and we'll talk about it later."

Li Xiangze nodded: "Okay."
