Chapter 8: An Ordinary Special Enrollment Student

The next day, Ning Song went out with dark eyes.

The brother upstairs is really hardworking. He was hardworking from 12 o'clock to after 1 o'clock, and started hardworking again after 2 o'clock.

So... so long lasting!

He locked the door with his schoolbag on his back, and suddenly heard a bang from upstairs. Then he heard someone complain, "It's all your fault. I'm going to be late!"

He immediately leaned over and took a look upstairs.

It turned out to be the couple he saw in the library.

The dark-skinned sports student and his art student wife!

When they met downstairs, the artist whispered, "That new guy..."

Ning Song saw that the art student had the same white name badge as him.

But the black-skinned athlete is a very noble black badge.

So he came here to stay for his wife.

The dark-skinned sports student glanced at him indifferently and left, leaning on his wife's shoulders. However, the art student turned around and looked at him again.

Although they are both specially recruited students, the art student looks more like the protagonist of a novel than he does.

So as soon as I entered the school, I met my true love 1vs1.

On his second day at the new school, he received much less attention.

It seemed that an ordinary person like him could only cause such a few ripples in this school.

The attention he gets in one day is all his appeal.

By the third day, his presence became even less noticeable, and the boys who had chased him on the way back to the dormitory on the first day never came to bother him, as if they had suddenly lost interest in him.

He felt like an insignificant pebble thrown into the big lake of Upper East School, creating just a few ripples that would be blown away by the wind.

But the chances of him bumping into the handsome guy's love scene seemed too high.

For example, I got to know Li You and Lin Li, and had some interactions with them.

For example, there are two protagonists in his class, Pu Yu and Tang Zhenzhen.

There happened to be a sports student and an art student living upstairs from him, and he became part of their play in the library!

Even Qiao Qiao, who he thought was the same as him, seemed to have a childhood sweetheart love line.

For example, when he was taking a shower in the dormitory building yesterday, he saw four feet under the shower room opposite, sometimes toe to toe, sometimes toe to heel.

Another example is today.

He went to the library again, and there he ran into Pu Yu.

And a very cute boy.

He had never seen such a lovely boy. He was the embodiment of the word lovely.

The little cutie stammered, "Is it okay?"

He couldn't see Pu Yu's face either, because Young Master Pu had his back to him.

It is very normal for a boy with such a great family background, excellent grades and handsome appearance to be confessed to.

He didn't hear what the eldest master said, perhaps because his voice was too low.

After a while, the eldest master took a book from the bookshelf and walked over with a bookmark in his hand.

Ning Song had no time to dodge and came face to face with him.

Pu Yu was stunned for a moment, then sat down where he put his schoolbag.

Ning Song originally wanted to say hello to the other party, after all, they had met several times before.

But Pu Yu didn't seem to remember him. He didn't greet him or look at him.

He had no choice but to continue walking inside.

Pu Yu looked up and opened the book.

Little Cutie was still standing there with his head down, looking very sad. Ningsong walked past him and expressed his sympathy for Little Cutie's situation.

In fact, he felt that Xiaokeai's qualifications were good enough to be the male protagonist of a BL novel.

He is really handsome.

But this is not his business.

He is just responsible for playing a classmate who happens to run into the protagonist confessing his love, right?

Considering that the probability of him encountering these gay love stories is so high, and looking at his own unattractive appearance as a passerby, he reasonably suspects that his character is just a common tool in the love stories of these protagonists.

Sometimes I am just a bystander in those love stories, sometimes I am a cannon fodder friend in those stories, or in some very exciting parts, I become a part of their PLAY behind the backs of my classmates.

The task is quite heavy.

The little cutie left quietly, and he tiptoed to reach the top magazine.

It was still difficult to reach, so he used a bookmark to pick out the magazine he wanted to read, then jumped up and grabbed it in his hand.

When he fell, he saw Pu Yu looking at him through the gap in the bookshelf, and he smiled at Pu Yu.

This time he did not sit next to Pu Yu, but went to another reading area inside. There was still no one inside, so he found a seat by the window and sat down.

He loves reading these gaming magazines.

When he saw a new game, he would open his phone and play it. Many games in this world were not available in the real world, which gave him a lot of nourishment. He was immersed in it, and by the time he saw the second magazine, Pu Yu had already left.

He stayed in the library until it closed, and felt that his soul was full and about to float up. He quickly logged into the forum, ready to communicate with his fellow netizens.

When I opened the forum, I found the message that [Autumn Saury] sent to him during the last chat: "The body is the capital of revolution."

He sent an emoticon to [Sanma] and then went to the forum to post a new thread.

【三刀鱼】This time I didn’t reply to his private message, but I posted several comments on his new post.

Many people asked him about his new job, and Ning Song just answered casually.

Even though we are all strangers, we are all very enthusiastic.

After the exchange on the forum, he found that the hot water in the kettle was gone. He carried the kettle out to get hot water from the water heater at the staircase entrance on the first floor, and saw their squad leader Chen Mo walking towards him with a handbag.

He had a good impression of their squad leader, so he smiled and greeted him: "Squad leader."

He only found out yesterday that Chen Mo also lived in Building 4.

But Chen Mo was not a white medalist, he was a gold medalist, and he was also the best one among the many special recruits of Upper East Public School. It was said that he transferred in as a freshman of high school, and in just over a year he quickly climbed to the gold medal level, became the class monitor, and joined the student union.

This is very rare in Upper East School, because the points system of Upper East School is not very friendly to transfer students, and it is not enough to just have good grades. He heard from Qiao Qiao that Chen Mo came from an ordinary working-class family in Pearl Island.

He did not move out after his rank was raised and continued to live in Building 4. It was said that this was because he liked single dormitories.

Strictly speaking, buildings 2 and 3 are not single dormitories. Three people live in a suite, but the facilities are better.

This squad leader likes to be alone and seems to have a somewhat cold personality.

Chen Mo saw him, nodded, and asked, "Are you still awake?"

It's rare to see their squad leader speak in such a gentle tone; he's usually very businesslike.

Ning Song smiled: "I'm going to sleep soon, why are you just coming back?"

Chen Mo said "hmm" and went upstairs with his bag, as if his gentleness just now was just a momentary illusion.

"That's right."

Ning Song had just put the kettle down when Chen Mo said, "There's something I forgot to tell you."

Ning Song turned around and saw Chen Mo standing on the stairs. The light was dim and his face was not clear. His voice sounded even deeper and more magnetic. He said, "The Spring Festival will be held in half a month. Every class will have a performance. You are new here and have never participated before. Teacher Jiang said you must sign up this year."

"ah?"

What will Kasuga be?

Chen Mo said: "This is also linked to academic credits and is considered part of the arts practice activities. You'd better participate."

What kind of literature and art does he know?

He is willing to play the cello, but are others willing to listen?

"What if I don't have any talent?" Ning Song asked.

Chen Mo was silent for a while, and finally made a stern suggestion: "I can add you to our class's stage play. It's our class's collective program this year, and there are many people participating. You can play a small role in it."

He can indeed play a supporting role.

"You can think about it again. If you have other ideas, you can tell me. Singing, dancing, poetry recitation, musical instruments, martial arts, etc. are all fine."

"I'll just play a supporting role." Ning Song said quickly.

Chen Mo nodded, without saying anything more, and went upstairs with the bag.

Ning Song took the water in the kettle and went upstairs, sending messages to Qiao Qiao as he walked to ask about the spring party.

Suddenly I felt someone was staring at me.

He glanced outside. Building No. 4 was very old, and the surrounding vegetation was lush. It was dark at night. He had previously thought that this environment might be suitable for a date between young couples, but now he felt that people could hide anywhere.

Because he didn't see anyone, only the branches swaying in the wind.

When he got upstairs, he stood on the high ground and looked down.

This glance almost gave me goosebumps.

Because he actually saw someone standing under the shade of the tree and looking at him.

With just a brief glance, the man disappeared into the darkness.

He even suspected that everything was just his illusion.

But he was careful enough to cover the window with clothes when he went to sleep.

His first week at Upper East School passed quickly.

Ning's father and mother are not free this week because there is an economic forum conference in Shangdongzhou recently and the Pu family has many banquets. They will be very busy in the next half month and cannot spare the time.

He stayed in the school.

It just so happened that there was no one at Qiao Qiao's house, so she stayed at school to accompany him.

Although he got along well with his classmates, the only one who really looked up to him was Qiao Qiao.

He was actually a little wary of Qiao Qiao at first. After all, in such an environment, someone suddenly approached him so familiarly, and he always suspected that there was some reason behind it.

Facts have proven this to be true. Qiao Qiao said that he actually transferred to Upper East School in junior high school. At that time, he was the same as Ning Song, very thin and had few friends. He said that as soon as he saw Ning Song, he felt very empathetic and would never allow others to experience the loneliness he had experienced back then.

She is simply a shining little angel.

Qiao Qiao couldn't stay in school.

He wanted to take Ningsong out to play and get along with his friends as soon as possible.

So Ning Song changed into casual clothes and went to a nearby amusement park with Qiao Qiao.

As soon as I stepped out of the school, I saw what a real aristocratic school was.

Pagani, Koenigsegg, Maybach, Audi, Bentley...

The luxury cars were not what surprised him most. What surprised him most was that many of the cars had nannies, drivers, or bodyguards in business suits standing outside them.

He saw Tang Zhenzhen at the door.

He stood alone on the side of the road with his bag on his back, his head down, looking at his toes, like a porcelain doll.

I was inexplicably worried that he was being bullied.

Because he saw several boys looking at him, whispering to each other with their heads down, and occasionally making ambiguous laughs.

He stopped and stood aside for a while.

Then he saw someone running towards Tang Zhenzhen through the traffic.

He was a very young boy who looked like he had just entered college. Tang Zhenzhen smiled when she saw him and took off her backpack and gave it to him.

The man held Tang Zhenzhen's hand and walked through the traffic together.

Tsk, I am once again a bystander witnessing the protagonist’s love.

Qiao Qiao took him to meet some of his friends. Most of his friends were from other schools and were rich second-generations. After dinner, they went to a KTV called Xingyue in Pearl Island to sing.

The supporting facilities are very average and it is an older KTV, but in terms of fame, it is second to none in Pearl Island. It is very famous and occupies the best location in Pearl Island.

Ning Song thought her singing was bad enough, but she didn't expect Qiao Qiao and his friends to sing even worse.

He was so irritated by the ghosts and wolves howling that his head hurt. He leaned over to Qiao Qiao and said, "I'm going to go out for some fresh air."

Qiao Qiao immediately put down the phone: "I'll accompany you."

"No need," Ning Song held him down, "I'll just go up to the terrace to get some fresh air."

When he arrived, he found that this KTV was right next to the Binjiang River estuary and had a viewing terrace.

He came out of the private room and breathed the fresh air outside, which made him feel better. He took the elevator up. There were many people on weekends, so the elevator took a while to arrive. When the elevator arrived, several fat men came out of the elevator: "Fuck, the waiters at Xingyue are so good-looking now? Long legs and curvy butts."

"If Mr. Wang likes it, you can ask him to deliver the wine later."

"That guy doesn't look easy to mess with. I just touched his hand and his eyes could stab you to death."

"What's the big deal? As long as the money is enough, I can stuff both my upper and lower mouths!"

"That's right. Last time, the waiter was so violent that we called the police. But in the end, he just kept quiet after taking the money."

"I can be gentler with this one. It's so beautiful. I can keep it for a month."

Several men laughed.

A few greasy, drunken men entered the next room.

Ningsong watched the elevator door close and stood in the dim corridor for a while, feeling that he was meddling in other people's business.

But the other person is a student, and I don’t know how these people will react to him.

He just reminded the other party.

He waited for a while, and sure enough, a waiter came up with two bottles of wine.

He was stunned when he saw it.

Because the other person's thick white hair is so attractive.

It’s Sheng Yan.

It seems that he passed by the hero's set again.

Sheng Yan wore a KTV uniform, and he really looked just like those greasy men said, with long legs, a perky butt, and a face that was so handsome that it made people dizzy.

The two of them are like two extremes. He is so sickly and colorless, while Sheng Yan's skin is glowing and he is full of youthful energy.

Sheng Yan glanced at him, then walked to the door of the next private room with the wine in his hand.

Ning Song thought about it and called him: "That..."

Sheng Yan turned around to look at him. His eyelashes were thick and long, casting a shadow under his eyes.

"How can I help you?" he asked.

A nice male voice with a hint of smile.

After living in a society ruled by law for a long time, I still can't get used to this fucked up world.

In order to make his conscience feel good, Ning Song said, "I just heard a few of their conversations... Be careful. They seem to have some ideas about you."

Sheng Yan smiled and said, "Did you stay here specifically to remind me?"

Ning nodded.

"Thank you, I understand." Sheng Yan answered a little casually, smiled and pushed the door open.

Ning Song watched the heavy door close and felt that his actions were indeed unnecessary.

He pressed the elevator button again, and while waiting for the elevator, he still looked at the box.

If it was someone other than Sheng Yan, he would definitely stay to see what was going on. If he heard anything, he would definitely help him, at least he would help him call the people in the KTV.

Does he have to treat him differently just because the other person is Sheng Yan and there is a high probability that he will be fine?

The elevator arrived at this time. He got in, cursed quietly, and got out.

Damn.

After all, there was no way I could just leave like this.

Maybe the reason why he passed through Sheng Yan's story was to give him a tip-off and call someone?

He planned to listen for any movement. It would be best if there was nothing going on inside. If there was, he would help call someone.

But the soundproofing in the private room was too good, so even if he could hear something, it was the loud music. He walked to the door of the private room, stood on tiptoe, and looked inside through the glass window above. He only saw a swaying figure, and then the door of the private room was opened, and Sheng Yan bumped into him directly.

He was thin and frail, and was almost knocked to the ground, but was caught by Sheng Yan. The moment the door closed, he saw several greasy men stumbling around inside, and a patch of blood or spilled wine on the ground.

Sheng Yan looked down at him, his brows full of anger: "Waiting for me?"

Ning Song stood up and shook off his arm: "Are you okay?"

Now that it's like this, I might as well do you a favor.

Sheng Yan smiled: "It's okay."

Then he pinched the microphone at the collar and said, "Cousin, I got into trouble. Come and have a look. Box 306."

Ning Song saw that he was fine, so he walked towards the elevator. Coincidentally, the elevator arrived just in time. After he went in, Sheng Yan followed him and also entered the elevator.

He arrived at the terrace, and Sheng Yan followed him there.

He looked at Sheng Yan warily, and Sheng Yan smiled: "Come out and smoke a cigarette."

He took out a box of cigarettes from his uniform pocket, and Ning Song saw that there was blood on his fingers.

The young man lighting the cigarette was so handsome, with his eyes slightly drooping, that the glimmer of light on the sea surface served as his backdrop.

Sheng Yan took two puffs and then threw the pack of cigarettes and lighter into the nearby trash can. He also twirled the cigarette in his hand and asked, "Are you from Dong Gong School? I think I've seen you before, who's new here?"

Ning nodded.

Sheng Yan frowned. Ning Song could hear the other party's roar in his earphone even from a meter away.

Sheng Yan sighed and went downstairs again.

Ningsong took a long breath.

Looking out from the terrace, you can see the lower harbor across the sea.

There are actually more people living in Lower Harbor, but at night it is pitch black against the backdrop of Pearl Island. Even the tiny sparks of light have a gloomy and damp feel. Pearl Island, on the other hand, is brightly lit, and the narrow sea seems to split the world apart.

But it was too windy and cold up there, and he was frozen after standing for a while. Just as he was about to go down, he saw Qiao Qiao coming up to find him.

"Are we too noisy?" Qiao Qiao asked him.

Ning Song shook his head: "No, I came out to see the night view. It's my first time to see the harbor from this angle."

As he spoke he sneezed.

Qiao Qiao said quickly, "Let's go down. Don't catch a cold with your body."

The two of them came down from the terrace together. Qiao Qiao said, "It seems like there was a fight in the private room next door. I just saw Brother Liu and his men carrying someone out. It was so bloody."

When they returned to the third floor, they only saw two cleaners mopping the floor.

Ning Song and his friends returned to the private room. After a while, a waiter knocked on the door. A young man who looked like a student came in and brought drinks and several luxurious fruit plates on a cart.

Qiao Qiao said: "It must be the wrong order, we didn't order this!"

He had worked in this KTV before, and even though he was a young man, he felt that the wine and fruit plates here were ridiculously expensive, and the value for money was extremely low!

They won't be taken advantage of!

The other party smiled and said, "This is given to you by our manager for free. Please enjoy it."

Several people looked at each other.

Ning Song turned his back and coughed twice.

After the waiter left, he told Qiao Qiao about his encounter with Sheng Yan.

Qiao Qiao's eyes widened: "He works here?"

Ning Song said: "Experience life."

"I thought my dad was the only one who would deduct my living expenses so that I could go out and experience life." Qiao Qiao said, "Then those people deserved it. They should be thankful that they are not Sheng Yan's opponent. If they really did anything to Sheng Yan, they would all have to swim in the sea tomorrow."

...Is it so scary?

This world is crazy.

Because they had to go back to school, they came out of the KTV around nine o'clock. Some of them didn't have enough fun, so they made plans to go to Queen's Boulevard tomorrow.

When they passed through the lobby on the first floor, they saw Sheng Yan being scolded. His white hair swayed in the light, his hands were in his trouser pockets, and he looked noncommittal. He saw their group of people, tilted his head and looked over, smiling and waving his hand at Ning Song, but the manager patted his hand and put it in his pocket helplessly.

"Wow, this waiter is so handsome." said the fat guy who was traveling with us.

"Fuck you, even Qiao Qiao, the most handsome guy in their school, didn't recognize him."

Sheng Yan's beauty is well-known throughout the Upper East Middle School circle.

"Why is he working as a waiter here? His family is so rich."

"I heard that he wanted to enter the entertainment industry, but his family disagreed and cut off his credit card, forcing him to sing without spending the family's money."

Coming out of the KTV, they happened to pass by an old commercial street in Pearl Island. Although it was late at night, there were a lot of tourists. Ning Song bought a new curtain and saw that the next door was selling green plants. He picked and chose and bought a pot of jasmine.

It was not a rose, nor a lily or tulip, but a very inconspicuous pot of jasmine.

Ordinary like him.

When I bought it, I really didn't know that it would become the cover of an album a long time later.

Everyone knows the saying:

【They say jasmine is more beautiful on rainy days. 】

【Author’s words】

Easter egg: The crowd at the boxing ring in the dungeon surged. Sheng Yan was about to leave with Ning Song when a boxing glove suddenly fell into Ning Song's arms. Li You leaned against the fence and looked at them with a smile. Sheng Yan didn't say anything, just smiled and threw the glove back.
