on Monday
Before reaching the school gate, Jiang Chen ran into Shen Xu.
Chen Xu came running like the wind, pulling him along and running: "Hurry, hurry, hurry! I didn't go to bed until after one o'clock last night, just for this moment!"
Jiang Chen was caught off guard and staggered by him. Seeing his anxious look, he had to adjust his pace and run after him.
"Jiang Zi, hurry up! Friends in front, please make way!" Chen Xu pulled Jiang Chen to the cultural corridor, and then squeezed into the crowd. However, there were too many people and he was pulling a teammate who was not paying attention and not moving, so he could only ask the boy next to him: "Brother, is the ranking out? Who is the first? Is it from our school?"
The bulletin board was very crowded. The boy who was pulled over had just seen the list clearly. When he heard Shen Xu's question and was about to answer, he saw Jiang Chen beside him. He paused for a second and immediately shouted, "Here comes Jiang Shen!"
In a word, it's like pouring hot water into a frying pan, it explodes instantly.
"Jiang Chen!"
"Where?"
"God Jiang is coming, make way!"
The students who were crowded at the bulletin board looked around. Some stretched their heads to look outside, while others tried to make a way out. The crowd became even more crowded as they pushed and shoved. Chen Xu anxiously looked at the students who were separated and crowded in front of him. He jumped up several times to look at the bulletin board, but he was not tall enough. He could only grab the boy next to him and continue to ask: "Brother, did you see it? What's Jiang Chen's place?"
Without waiting for the boy to answer, Luo Ze, who came later, had already seen the list clearly by virtue of his height advantage, and shouted, "Fuck Jiang Chen! You are first! First in the joint entrance examination of three schools! Total score is 742! You are a devil!"
Chen Xu paused in his stepping motion, and instantly jumped higher than before: "742! First in the joint exam!" He pushed the person in front of him away and jumped onto Jiang Chen: "Jiang Zi! First, first, first in the joint exam!"
Jiang Chen leaned back and smiled, "I know."
Shen Xu hung entirely on Jiang Chen, shouting with excitement, "Ahhhhh I'm so fucking happy hahahahahaha!"
Jiang Chen's neck was strangled by Shen Xu, and he was squeezed by others from behind. He almost ran out of breath. He dodged and said, "Let me go. You're strangling me to death."
However, due to the large crowd and noise, Jiang Chen's voice was soon drowned out by the crowd. Just before he ran out of breath and was about to use violence to push Shen Xu down, the surroundings suddenly became much quieter and the crowd parted ways.
Jiang Chen was blocked by Chen Xu and couldn't see what was happening in front of him. Just as he was curious, he felt his body lighten. Chen Xu screamed as someone grabbed his neck and tore him off Jiang Chen.
"Ahhhhh——" Shen Xu was grabbed by the collar, yelling with his teeth bared: "Who the hell attacked me!"
Jiang Chen took a breath, straightened his school uniform, and looked up to thank the kind-hearted person. The next second, his grateful expression turned into astonishment: "Shi Fengyue?"
Chen Xu said at the same time: "Who are you?"
Shi Fengyue was wearing a long grey windbreaker, and looked at Chen Xu with his long eyelashes half-closed. He opened his bloodless lips slightly and said, "Get out of the way."
Shen Xu shrank his neck when he was looked at by him, and carefully moved closer to Jiang Chen and asked in a low voice: "Who is this person?"
Shi Fengyue's eyes fell on Jiang Chen's messy hair, and after a second, he said calmly, "I have something to talk to you about."
Out of the corner of his eye he saw some classmates looking over here and a few girls huddled together trying to get closer. Jiang Chen pursed his lips and said, "Let's talk over there."
It’s almost time for morning self-study, and there are the fewest people near the office building.
Jiang Chen stopped by the flower bed of the office building, his eyes filled with anxiety: "Did something happen to my dad?"
Shi Fengyue stood one meter away from him and said, "No."
Jiang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief, relaxed, and smiled: "Why did the doctor come to No. 1 Middle School to see me at that time?"
Shi Fengyue's eyes fell on the dimple on his left side. He raised his hand to rub his head. Despite Jiang Chen's unhappy expression, he said calmly, "Your hair is messy."
Jiang Chen's eyes fell on the corners of his slightly upturned eyes. Just as the doubts in his heart surfaced, he heard him ask: "Where is your junior high school?"
As soon as Shi Fengyue finished speaking, Jiang Chen remembered the conversation in the ward not long ago. He put aside his doubts and asked, "Are you going to look for your nephew?"
"Hmm." Shi Fengyue hummed from his nose. He didn't know what he was thinking about. He pressed his eyebrows in annoyance: "Call the parents. His parents are not in Yan City."
Seeing Shi Fengyue's obviously impatient but unavoidable expression, Jiang Chen felt better for some reason. He curved his eyes slightly and said, "The junior high school is right behind the senior high school. Go north and cross the road and you will see the gate of the junior high school. It's not far, just a few hundred meters."
Shi Fengyue lowered his eyes to meet Jiang Chen's harmless smile, bent his hand that had just been put down, looked away and looked around: "Wait for me."
The man who left two words and walked away in a cool and neat manner disappeared around the corner of the flower bed. Jiang Chen stood there and thought for two seconds whether to wait for him. Before he could come to a conclusion, he heard the study bell.
"Who's standing there?" Fu Jinyu walked out of the office building and saw someone standing by the flower bed. He walked over and asked, "Didn't you hear the class bell? Standing by... Jiang Chen?"
Jiang Chen turned around and said, "Hello, Teacher Fu."
"What are you doing here?"
"Yes..." Jiang Chen paused for a moment: "A relative of mine came to visit me at school. He just had to answer a phone call. I'm waiting for him."
Fu Jinyu put aside his doubts and instructed: "After talking to your relatives, go to the classroom, and then come to my office after lunch."
"I see."
Fu Jinyu turned around and looked at his watch and said, "I'll ask for leave for you and Teacher Yang later, but you must be in the classroom before the first class, don't be late... Is this your relative?"
Jiang Chen looked past Fu Jinyu and saw Shi Fengyue, who was walking towards him slowly with a plastic bag in his hand.
Shi Fengyue also heard Fu Jinyu's words. He paused and turned to look at Jiang Chen.
Then, he nodded calmly and said, "Hello, I am Jiang Chen's brother, who are you?"
Fu Jinyu's hesitant gaze lingered on Shi Fengyue's face for a few seconds: "Hello, I'm Jiang Chen's math teacher, my last name is Fu."
"Jiang Chen is in school, please ask Teacher Fu to take care of him."
"It's not a problem. Educating students is my responsibility. Jiang Chen has very good grades. He ranked first in the joint exam of three schools. He will represent the school in the mathematics competition in August. We all have high hopes for him."
Shi Fengyue glanced at the young man beside him calmly, his expression unchanged, and the curve of his mouth deepened: "So powerful?"
Fu Jinyu nodded, paused halfway, and looked at Jiang Chen suspiciously: "Jiang Chen, you didn't mention your grades in school at home?"
"I haven't mentioned the competition yet." Jiang Chen evaded the point and said, "Teacher Fu, this is my brother's first time at our school. I took him around the campus and then went to morning self-study."
"Okay." Fu Jinyu glanced at Shi Fengyue and said to Jiang Chen, "Stay with your brother. The teacher is going up first. Remember to go to the classroom before the first class."
There were only two people left by the flower bed.
"Doctor Shi, you asked me to wait for you here. Is there anything else?"
Shi Fengyue lifted up the plastic bag, and Jiang Chen's eyes fell on the bag.
"Thank you."
"snack?"
Shi Fengyue nodded: "Don't you kids love snacks?" He opened a bag of candy, peeled off the candy wrapper and put a piece in his mouth. After a few seconds, he frowned, chewed it up and swallowed it. He took out a few more bags of snacks and looked at them. He sighed and said: "Antioxidants, preservatives, food coloring, thickeners... Kids nowadays love to eat these things?"
Jiang Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, and just as he was about to refute the word "child" in his mouth, he was rubbed on the head: "Forget it, I'll make it up to you next time."
A gust of wind blew, and Shi Fengyue's back was neat and tidy. His nonchalant voice penetrated the rustling of leaves: "I'm leaving first. Go back and study hard."
When Jiang Chen returned to the classroom, it was almost time for morning self-study.
As soon as he sat down, Shen Xu stretched his head over here, covered his mouth and lowered his voice: "Who was that man just now? What did he want to do with you? Why haven't I seen him before?"
Luo Ze, who was drowsy while reading the text at the back desk, also perked up after hearing this. He leaned over the table and joined the conversation: "Yeah, Master Jiang, who is that? Didn't you see that as soon as you left, those girls went crazy. It was as if they hadn't seen a man for hundreds of years. They were discussing him during the entire morning self-study session."
Jiang Chen opened the book: "My father's doctor, he went to the junior high school to look for his brother, he got lost and asked me for directions."
"He was the one who performed the surgery on Uncle Jiang?" Chen Xu raised his hand holding the book, and when he saw the Chinese teacher looking at him, he immediately covered his face in shock: "So young?"
"Doctor?" Luo Ze was even more surprised. He leaned his head close to Jiang Chen's ear and said in disbelief, "You can be a doctor with this appearance?"
Jiang Chen turned his head, pushed Luo Ze's head away, and said calmly: "Don't judge people by appearance. Teacher Li is coming this way."
…
The day passed quickly, and as soon as the bell rang for the last class, Shen Xu quickly packed his schoolbag, ran to Jiang Chen's desk and said, "Where are we going to eat!"
Jiang Chen had promised to treat Shen Xu to a meal on May Day. It happened that his joint exam results were good today, and Yang Si had to go to the hospital to accompany Jiang Zhuo in the evening and couldn't go home, so they set the dinner time for today.
Jiang Chen stood up: "Go wherever you want to go."
"I don't know either." Chen Xu said anxiously, "Xu Ji's Cantonese cuisine is good, but there will definitely be no queue at this time. I haven't eaten the hot pot in Changxiang for a long time, but I don't really want to eat spicy food today. There's also Huang Yun's Sichuan cuisine, no, it's also spicy, and there's also the Huaiyang cuisine restaurant next to the park..."
Counting the restaurants from the classroom to the school gate, Chen Xu still couldn't choose the one he wanted to go to the most, and finally had to let Jiang Chen make the decision.
Jiang Chen picked the store that Shen Xu just mentioned, the one closest to the school. Just as he finished speaking, he heard a familiar voice calling out, "Brother!"
The elegant and clean young boy, wearing a suit-style school uniform, was walking among a group of students standing in loose blue shirts and blue pants. He was waving his hand and walking towards this side quickly, which was particularly eye-catching.
