Chapter 141 Xiaoqiu confessed
"bell--"
After the morning reading, the students in the class rushed to the back blackboard, and Shi Qiu Shui pulled Zhao Ran over as well.
"Come on, Zhao Ran, let's go take a look too."
When their classmates saw them, they were surprised and said, "Wow, the class monitor and the top student are here to see the score line?"
The class monitor was Shi Qiu Shui, who had always been the class monitor for so many years, from elementary school to high school; the top student was Zhao Ran, who had always been the top student in the grade for so many years, and so he earned the nickname of the top student.
Of course, the academic master Zhao Ran’s achievements are not only first in grade, but also first in various competitions, first in the district, first in the city, and first in the country. It can be said that he is a well-deserved academic master.
A classmate asked curiously: "Xueba, haven't you been recommended for admission? Why are you still checking the score cutoff?"
Before Zhao Ran could answer the question, the classmate next to him patted the person asking the question on the arm and said, "Oh, you even need to ask that? The top student must be here to help the class monitor check the passing score!"
"Oh, I see."
The student who asked the question first nodded.
The top student has a good relationship with the class monitor, so it’s not surprising that he looks at the score line with the top student.
Someone turned curiously and looked at Shi Qiushui: "Hey, class monitor, which school do you want to apply to?"
Shi Qiushui narrowed his eyes and said frankly, "I want to apply to the Public Security University."
"Eh?! Class monitor, you actually want to apply to the Public Security University?!" The classmates looked surprised.
Shi Qiushui: "Yes, my dream since childhood has been to become a police officer, so I want to apply to the Public Security University."
A female classmate who was on good terms with Shi Qiushui looked at him and said hesitantly, "But I heard that the Public Security University is very tough. Xiaoqiu, you have such good grades, why don't you consider other schools?"
Shi Qiushui's expression remained unchanged as he said seriously, "I know that applying to the Public Security University will be difficult, and I also know that being a police officer will be difficult in the future. I'm already prepared."
When the other students heard this, they were speechless.
Since Shi Qiushui had already made up his mind, there was no need for outsiders like them to express their opinions. The female classmate who had previously asked Shi Qiushui to reconsider touched her nose awkwardly and said, "Ah, so."
She paused, made a cheering gesture to Shi Qiushui and said with a smile: "Xiaoqiu, keep going. I believe you will be able to get into the Public Security University and become a police officer smoothly!"
Shi Qiushui smiled brightly and said, "Well! You should do your best too!"
The awkward atmosphere just now was swept away by the smiles of the two girls. At this time, the person standing in front of Shi Qiu Shui checked the score line and his own grades and left the blackboard. Shi Qiu Shui took a step forward and stood in front of the blackboard. She scanned her eyes from top to bottom and successfully found the column marked with Public Security University.
"The lowest admission score to the Public Security University in 2001 was 474."
Shi Qiushui murmured softly: "Then I'm safe!"
Even though Shi Qiu Shui's grades in recent years are not as good as Zhao Ran's, she has been able to sit firmly on the throne of class monitor, so her grades are naturally not bad. For example, in the mock exam a few days ago, her total score in six subjects added up to more than 560. Her mock exam score exceeded the admission line of the People's Public Security University last year by nearly 100 points!
A hint of joy appeared on Shi Qiu Shui's face, but when she saw Zhao Ran standing next to her, her proud tail was instantly retracted.
She said to herself, "Shi Qiushui, Shi Qiushui, please don't be too proud. Even Zhao Ran, who was already recommended for admission, isn't proud at all. What right do you have to be? Besides, just because you scored over 560 on the mock exam doesn't mean you'll definitely score over 560 on the college entrance exam. You can't do something like popping champagne in the middle of the game!"
Shi Qiu Shui scolded himself in his heart and pulled Zhao Ran out from the crowd gathered in front of the blackboard.
Zhao Ran: "What's wrong? Don't you want to compare the scores?"
Shi Qiushui shrugged: "The comparison is over!"
She said, "Maybe I was so eager to get into Public Security University that I immediately saw its name when I went there."
Zhao Ran: "Oh? Then what was the admission score for the Public Security University last year?"
Shi Qiushui: "More than four hundred and seventy."
Zhao Ran tilted his head. "Then your first mock exam score is more than 90 points higher than last year's admission score, right?"
When encountering such a thing, shouldn't Shi Qiu Shui scream with joy?
Although Zhao Ran didn't say it out loud, Shi Qiu Shui grew up with him since childhood, so she knew what Zhao Ran was thinking just by looking at his eyes, without him saying anything.
She waved her hands and said, "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile. It's just a score of over 90. What's there to be excited about? The first mock exam is just a simulation exam, not the official college entrance exam. When I get a score like this in the college entrance exam, I won't be too excited anymore."
Zhao Ran looked at Shi Qiushui, and after a while, he raised his lips and said, "It's so rare that I can hear the word 'low-key' from you again."
Shi Qiu Shui has been a lively and outgoing child since she was young. Like Shi Yue, the word "low-key" does not exist in her dictionary. For example, when she just got the second-level athlete certificate, she kept that thing in her pocket every day for two months. During those two months, whenever she met someone, she would take out the thing and show it to them.
That's why Zhao Ran couldn't help but tease her.
Shi Qiushui raised his head and retorted, "It's rare for me to hear a fusty old-fashioned person like you make a joke."
In fact, Shi Qiu Shui's words were a bit exaggerated.
Although Zhao Ran was rather quiet when he was young, unlike other children who only liked to read books like an old-fashioned nerd, he has become much more lively since he became friends with Shi Qiu Shui.
Although Zhao Ran still speaks relatively little now, apart from this, he is still a young man full of vigor and vitality.
Shi Qiu Shui said that he was a little old-fashioned, which was indeed a bit of a misnomer.
"Huh? Who are you calling a prude? Who are you calling a prude?" Zhao Ran maintained an expressionless face, but his hand was poking at the itchy spot on Shi Qiu Shui's waist.
He and Shi Qiu Shui have been childhood sweethearts for so many years, so he naturally knew that Shi Qiu Shui's weakness was that she was ticklish, especially around her waist. She couldn't stand it if she was poked casually.
As soon as his hand touched Shi Qiushui's waist, Shi Qiushui screamed in surprise: "Ah, Zhao Ran, you, you actually tickled my flesh!"
Zhao Ran: "I'll just poke it."
Shi Qiushui: "Hahaha, I admit my mistake, please stop poking me. Haha, it's itchy, it's really itchy, Zhao Ran, please stop poking me, I admit my mistake, I was wrong, I shouldn't have called you a little old-fashioned, okay?"
Shi Qiu Shui was really ticklish. Zhao Ran just poked the ticklish spot on her waist, but she couldn't stand it anymore. She ran away while begging for mercy.
She ran all the way to the classroom door, and seeing Zhao Ran about to catch up with her, she turned on her toes and prepared to hide in the girls' restroom. Zhao Ran could chase her into other places, but he definitely couldn't follow her into the girls' restroom, right?
Of course, even if Zhao Ran wanted to follow her into the women's restroom, the other people in the restroom would not agree to let Zhao Ran go in.
Thinking of this, Shi Qiushui turned around and made a face at Zhao Ran behind her while running. She boldly challenged him, "Zhao Ran, if you have the guts, chase me. Haha, if you have the guts, catch up with me!"
Thinking of Zhao Ran's regretful face when he chased her to the door of the women's restroom and finally couldn't get in, Shi Qiu Shui couldn't help but burst out laughing.
To be honest, Shi Qiu Shui was still young and didn't know the saying that excessive joy leads to sorrow. She was laughing wildly when she bumped into someone walking towards her with a bang.
Shi Qiushui turned around and looked, and immediately wilted. She cautiously said to the old man she had bumped into, "Teacher, are you okay?"
Yes, the person Shi Qiushui bumped into was their Chinese teacher. This Chinese teacher was quite remarkable, a top-grade teacher at the school. On the first day of teaching Shi Qiushui and her class, he told her that he should have retired long ago, but the school had specially rehired him to help the students achieve their academic performance.
Shi Qiushui didn't expect that she accidentally knocked the Chinese teacher to the ground. She was so scared that she stuttered. After a moment of hesitation, she quickly stepped forward to help the Chinese teacher up. Shi Qiushui asked worriedly: "Teacher, are you okay? Did you fall anywhere? If you feel uncomfortable, tell me and we will go to the hospital right away..."
The Chinese teacher patted the nervous Shi Qiushui's shoulder soothingly and said, "No, it's okay, classmate Shi, don't be nervous. Although I'm old, I'm in good health. I won't break my bones if I fall."
The Chinese teacher had a good personality. Even after being bumped into by Shi Qiu Shui, he was still in the mood to joke with Shi Qiu Shui.
Shi Qiushui felt relieved when she heard his joking tone, but she still asked again, "Teacher, are you really okay?"
Chinese teacher: "It's okay, it's okay."
Afraid that Shi Qiu Shui would be worried, he took two steps in front of Shi Qiu Shui. Shi Qiu Shui looked at the teacher's walking posture and everything was normal, and then he felt relieved.
Chinese teacher: "Oh, yes, Mr. Shi, what are you doing in such a hurry?"
Shi Qiushui: "I, I..."
She stammered, "I need to go to the bathroom."
Chinese teacher: "Oh, you're going to the bathroom? I'm really in a hurry. Okay, go ahead. Hurry up. Class is about to start. I have to review the test paper in the next class. Go quickly and come back quickly. Don't miss it."
Shi Qiushui: "Uh, well, teacher, I don't want to go to the bathroom anymore. Let me go back to the classroom with you."
"Don't you want to go to the bathroom? Why do you suddenly not want to go?" The Chinese teacher muttered in surprise, shook her head and said, "Forget it, if you don't want to go, then don't go. Let's go back to the classroom. I'm going to focus on the reading comprehension part of our first mock exam. I remember you lost a lot of points on this part, right?"
Shi Qiushui nodded honestly: "Yeah, that's right."
"That's normal. This time, the students in our entire district lost the most points in the reading comprehension section during the first mock exam. This isn't your fault, it's the teacher's fault. However, the test paper this time was quite interesting. I'll explain it to you in detail later, and you'll understand."
Shi Qiu Shui followed the Chinese teacher back to the classroom just as the bell rang. Shi Qiu Shui quickly sat back in his seat.
As soon as she sat down, she heard Zhao Ran next to her say, "You suddenly don't want to go to the bathroom? Shi Qiushui, why do you suddenly not want to go to the bathroom?"
Shi Qiushui snorted, and taking advantage of the position to twist Zhao Ran's arm under the table. She said coquettishly, "It's all because of you. If you hadn't been chasing me, I wouldn't have lost my sight and bumped into the Chinese teacher!"
A smile filled Zhao Ran's eyes, and he said gently, "Okay, okay, it's all my fault."
Shi Qiushui: "Humph, that's how it is, it's all your fault!"
She turned her head, and her ponytail swung with it, drawing a beautiful arc in the air. She said, "No, Zhao Ran, I solemnly declare that I am angry. In order to express my anger, from now on until tomorrow morning, I will ignore you and will not say a single word to you!"
Zhao Ran: "Ah, what a severe punishment!"
Zhao Ran said it was a serious matter, but his face remained calm.
Shi Qiu Shui didn't say anything, nor did he even look at Zhao Ran, and he put his words into practice by ignoring Zhao Ran.
Zhao Ran looked at Shi Qiu Shui who was pretending to listen carefully to the Chinese teacher's lecture, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
Over the years, Shi Qiu Shui has used this trick every time he was angry. After countless times, he has mastered the secret of how to coax Shi Qiu Shui, which is to buy Shi Qiu Shui's favorite roast chicken.
Yes, Shi Qiu Shui still hasn't gotten tired of eating the roast chicken from the roast chicken shop in the vegetable market after all these years.
The original vegetable market and the family compound were demolished together, and the roast chicken shop also moved away. It has now moved outside the community where Shi Qiu Shui lives. After knowing the new address of the roast chicken shop, Shi Yue joked that the boss moved wherever Shi Qiu Shui moved, for fear of losing Shi Qiu Shui, a loyal old customer.
Although this was said as a joke, it is true that Shi Qiu Shui is a loyal old customer of that store.
Until now, Shi Qiu Shui still visits that restaurant once a week.
Zhao Ran had made up his mind. After school today, he would go outside the community to buy a roasted chicken to appease Shi Qiu Shui.
When school was over at five in the evening, Zhao Ran followed Shi Qiu Shui out of the classroom.
Although she said she would ignore Zhao Ran, Shi Qiu Shui did not abandon Zhao Ran and go home alone. After all, she still had to ride her bike to take Zhao Ran home.
As good as Zhao Ran's grades were, his balance was as bad as his. When he and Shi Qiushui graduated from elementary school, their parents bought them a bicycle each to make it easier for them to get to and from school. Shi Qiushui learned how to ride it in just one afternoon, while Zhao Ran spent the entire summer trying to ride it, unable to even get more than 50 meters.
In the end, there was no other way, so the parents of the two families negotiated and let Shi Qiu Shui ride his bike to take Zhao Ran to and from school.
Shi Qiu Shui has been taking care of Zhao Ran from junior high school to senior high school. Until now, Zhao Ran has not learned to ride a bicycle, and Shi Qiu Shui still takes him to and from school.
Shi Qiu Shui and Zhao Ran walked in front and followed behind as they arrived at the school's bicycle shed. Shi Qiu Shui had just taken the bicycle keys out of his pocket and was about to unlock the shed when a man suddenly jumped out from the side.
Shi Qiu Shui was startled and thought that the man was going to steal her bicycle. She subconsciously raised her fist and was about to swing it at the other party when she saw the man kneel down in front of her with a bang.
Shi Qiu Shui was stunned, keeping his fists clenched.
No, why did the man kneel down? She hadn't raised her fist yet.
Just when Shi Qiushui was wondering, the man took out a red rose from behind him. He held the red rose in front of Shi Qiushui and said loudly: "Classmate Shi Qiushui, I like you. Can you be my girlfriend?"
Shi Qiushui: "Huh?"
She looked at the man in front of her in confusion. She didn't even know this man, so why did he suddenly run up to her and ask her if she would be his girlfriend?
She pursed her lips, considered her words, and said, "Well, classmate, I'm sorry, I can't agree to be your girlfriend. We are students now, and we are still in our third year of high school. I think our most important task now is the college entrance examination. Before the college entrance examination is over, I don't plan to date anyone."
The man became even more excited when he heard this. He stood up suddenly and said, "So, so what you mean is that you're willing to be my girlfriend after the college entrance examination?"
Shi Qiu Shui was completely speechless.
She really wanted to grab the collar of the man in front of her and ask, "Brother, don't you understand what I'm saying? I said I'm not going to date anyone before the college entrance examination is over. I didn't say I'd agree to date anyone after the college entrance examination is over!"
Shi Qiushui pursed her lips and tried to save the other person's face by saying, "No, classmate, you misunderstood. After the college entrance examination, I had no intention of dating you. After all, I didn't even know you. How could I possibly date you just because I said I would?"
When the man heard this, he immediately said, "Oh, yes, I forgot. Um, Shi Qiushui, let me introduce myself to you. I'm Wang Chen from Class 3-5 of Senior High School. You may be a little unfamiliar with my name now, but if you think about it carefully, you must have an impression of me!"
Shi Qiushui: "Ah?"
Wang Chen: "Me, Wang Chen, don't you remember me? Then think about it again. We participated in the National Youth Track and Field Competition together before. I was seventh in the men's 200m group. You must remember me. You stood next to me in our group photo after the competition. Later, when we took the bus back to school after the competition, you sat next to me again."
Even after his reminder, Shi Qiu Shui still couldn't remember who this Wang Chen was.
She scratched her hair and said, "I'm sorry, classmate, I really don't remember you."
Wang Chen was extremely excited about her forgetting him, even more excited than when Shi Qiushui refused to be his girlfriend. His face flushed, and he questioned, "How is it possible? How could you not remember me? When we took the photo and rode in the car, you were standing next to me. There were empty seats next to everyone else, but you didn't go to anyone else but me. Aren't you interested in me? If you are interested in me, how could you not remember me? Are you lying?"
Seeing him getting excited and a little crazy, Shi Qiu Shui subconsciously took a step back.
Instead, Zhao Ran, who was originally standing behind her, stepped forward and stood in front of Shi Qiu Shui.
Wang Chen couldn't hold back anymore when he saw Shi Qiushui backing away. He rushed forward and yelled, "Shi Qiushui, what do you mean? Weren't you the one who was interested in me first? What's going on? I was so attracted to you that I came to you to confess my feelings, and now you're pretending not to know me? Are you kidding me?"
Zhao Ran frowned and said, "Don't you understand what I'm saying? Shi Qiushui doesn't even remember you."
"Who the hell are you? I'm talking to Shi Qiu Shui, what's it to you? Get out of here!" As he said that, Wang Qiang pushed Zhao Ran hard.
Although Zhao Ran's balance wasn't great, his years of martial arts training weren't in vain. Though it wasn't obvious in his school uniform, he was actually quite muscular. Plus, he took after Zhao Hui's height; even though he wasn't even 18 yet, he was already a towering 5'85".
So even though Wang Qiang pushed Zhao Ran with all his strength, he couldn't do anything to him. Zhao Ran's body didn't even shake.
Wang Qiang spat and said, "Damn it, I can't push you anymore, right?"
Zhao Ran's face darkened as he listened to his curse words.
At this time, Wang Qiang spoke again. He glared at Zhao Ran sinisterly and said, "Fuck you, you're so protective of Shi Qiushui, could it be because you're together with Shi Qiushui? Oh, Shi Qiushui, you're really good, you really are. Not only did you seduce me before, but you've even been flirting with this guy behind her back. You're such a fucking slut!"
Shi Qiu Shui really couldn't bear it anymore.
When she rejected this man before, she wanted to give him some face and didn't say anything harsh. Who would have thought that this man would actually go even further and scold her? Then there was no need for her to save face for this man.
She rushed out with her fists clenched, and was about to punch Wang Chen, but she saw Zhao Ran was one step faster than her and punched Wang Chen in the face.
"Ah! You actually hit me!" Wang Chen roared angrily.
Zhao Ran's face was stern, with a coldness that Shi Qiushui had never seen before. He said angrily, "I'm going to hit you!"
As he said that, Zhao Ran punched down again.
It was obvious that Zhao Ran did not hold back at all and punched Wang Chen hard in the face, causing Wang Chen's nose to bleed immediately.
When a classmate who came to pick up the car saw this, he shouted, "Ah, blood, blood! There's a fight!"
"Someone's fighting, someone's fighting, hurry up and call the teacher!"
"Wait, I'll go call the teacher!"
The other students were in a mess, and some of them were quick enough to run out and call the teacher.
Shi Qiu Shui glanced at the person who ran away, then looked at Wang Chen who was knocked down but still talking dirty, gritted his teeth, clenched his fists and rushed forward.
She waved her fist fiercely at Wang Chen, thinking, no matter whether the teacher comes over or not, the most important thing is for her to vent her anger first!
Zhao Ran was beating Wang Chen, and out of the corner of his eye he saw Shi Qiu Shui joining in with his fists. He was slightly stunned, and then intensified his movements.
"Ah! You guys! It hurts! It hurts! Damn it, stop hitting me!"
Wang Chen was beaten by the mixed doubles of Shi Qiu Shui and Zhao Ran, and kept wailing.
But Shi Qiu Shui and Zhao Ran would not stop just because of his wailing. Shi Qiu Shui used his hands and feet to beat Wang Qiang hard.
She hit me and cursed me at the same time: "You stinky bastard, who do you think you are? You asked me to seduce you. When I was taking photos or riding in the car, you just stood and sat wherever you wanted. You didn't even notice who was standing next to me. If I had known I was standing next to you, a stinky bastard, I would have moved to another place even if I had beaten you to death!"
Shi Qiu Shui was cursing happily when he heard a voice saying "Stop" coming from far away.
She knew it was the teacher coming.
Before the teacher came forward, she gathered her strength and kicked Wang Chen hard on the leg.
She timed it just right.
As soon as we finished playing, the teacher came.
Shi Qiu Shui immediately stopped moving and stood at attention.
