get out of class ended
"Ring ring... Ring ring... Ring ring..."
As the bell rang and the teacher walked out of the classroom, Ms. Yang was considered one of the best teachers in their eyes. She never went overtime or delayed their journey home.
Ou Liyao craned her neck and saw that the English teacher's figure had disappeared. Then she looked back at the two students behind her. They looked so respectable. Did they look like top students who could get full marks?
No, how can the difference between people be so great? But considering they offered to tutor her in physics, she won't hold a grudge.
In an instant, she returned to her lively and energetic self, expressing her gratitude in a serious, speech-like tone: "My dear classmates, thank you for your hard work in considering my physics grades. Let's meet at the bookstore on Sunday morning at nine o'clock, see you there!"
As he spoke, he bowed his head very respectfully and presented Zhang Yuning's physics quiz paper with both hands, as devoutly as a believer. After Zhang Yuning took the paper, Xu Yuning put on his backpack, blew a kiss to Xu Changjia, and rushed out of the classroom to go home.
Xu Changjia slowly packed his schoolbag behind him, listening to the banter of the others beside him. He lowered his head, seemingly lost in thought, and decided to wait until they were all gone before leaving.
Zhang Yuning smiled and took her test paper from Ou Liyao's hand, looking quite disgusted with her, "Go on, you should leave now."
Then, he casually handed the test paper to Zheng Ruoqian, saying, "Zhou Tian, please bring it over for me. Contact me by phone." He then stuffed two newly bought comic books into his empty backpack and left.
"Okay, I'll contact you by phone."
Zheng Ruoqian, carrying his schoolbag, asked Xu Changjia as he passed by, "Aren't you leaving yet?"
She didn't dare to make eye contact with anyone. After all, it was really embarrassing and impolite of her to be caught eavesdropping on him playing the piano.
He only gave a vague reply, "Yeah, it's not ready yet."
Seeing that he was standing there motionless, seemingly waiting for her to join him, Xu Changjia could only speed up her work and reluctantly walk alongside him. "Alright."
"Let's go together then."
The road from the teaching building to the north gate of the school was named Xiu Shen Road, which was also the only way they could go home after class every Friday. Walking side by side with Zheng Ruoqian at this moment made her feel a little uncomfortable.
The light she regarded as her first ray of light after her rebirth was right beside her, yet she was at a loss, unsure how to start a conversation, and could only look around to hide her unease.
"I've actually been wanting to find an opportunity to tell you this."
"Huh?" What did he say? Xu Changjia looked up at him. Is it finally coming? He doesn't mean I'll never be able to listen to him play the piano or watch him breakdance again, does he?
Feeling a little uncomfortable under her gaze, Zheng Ruoqian could only look at the cheerful laughter of the students in school uniforms in front of him, and after taking a deep breath, he continued, "Thank you for hiding behind the tree that day to listen to me play the piano. That was the first song I wrote and composed myself, and I am honored to have an audience."
Xu Changjia noticed that his ears were red and felt a little awkward. She turned her head away and looked at the plum trees planted on both sides of Xiushen Road. She hadn't expected Zheng Ruoqian to say such a thing to her.
Looking down from the plum tree trunk, she saw the flower bed not far from the north gate of the school. The words she had been rehearsing in her mind finally came out: "No, you're welcome, Zheng Ruoqian."
She mustered her courage to continue praising, after all, it was her salvation. "Although I've only heard you play once, I really enjoy listening to you play. Your music is very powerful." "It was the first ray of light on my path back from the dead," she secretly added in her heart.
Zheng Ruoqian walked up to her, blocking her way, so that all she could see was his seriousness and barely suppressed joy. He asked her, "Really?"
Xu Changjia nodded, and each word clearly reached his ears, "Really, I'm not lying to you, I really enjoy listening to you play the piano."
She dared not look him in the eye again, slipped away to the side, and continued walking towards the North Gate, where she heard his questioning again.
"I'll be going to the piano room to play again this Sunday morning at eight o'clock. Would you like to come and listen?"
She had really thought it over, and replied with two words, "I'm not coming." Then she walked a short distance with her backpack on, but Zheng Ruoqian did not follow.
Turning around in confusion, she saw him still standing there and added, "Weren't you supposed to be studying physics hard? Did you get ten points too? I'll listen to you play the piano after class."
Suddenly, his face lit up like the warm sun in March, radiating warmth and comfort. "Okay," he said, catching up with her as they walked out of the school and parted ways at the school gate.
When she returned home this time, Assistant Chen and Xu's mother picked her up. Compared to the silent conversation she had with her father last weekend, she preferred being with her mother. Although they didn't talk much, she felt inexplicably relaxed.
Xu's mother smiled as she looked at her daughter, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, her heart filled with love. "Jiajia, were you tired at school this week?"
Xu Changjia put his schoolbag aside and moved a little closer to his mother. "I'm not tired, it's just that I have a lot of homework."
"Oh, I see. By the way, how did you do on that physics quiz you mentioned last week?" Xu's mother hesitated for a moment, then abruptly changed the subject.
She looked embarrassed and shook her head. "There's a really smart classmate in my class who got a perfect score. Thanks to him, he's giving us extra lessons at the Children's Palace this Sunday morning at nine o'clock. Ou Liyao and I are both going."
She patted her daughter's head affectionately, "Okay, then Aunt Chen will bake some cookies or something for you to take with you. She's tutoring you, so you should give back to her."
"good."
Xu Changjia's eyes darted around, as if he remembered something, and he asked again, "Did Mom have something to tell me just now?"
When Xu's mother saw that she had asked, she didn't keep it a secret any longer and told her about her Uncle Yun's family going abroad.
Uncle Yun's wife and Mrs. Xu had been friends for decades. When Mrs. Xu had just finished elementary school, her family immigrated to Country H. Now, their business in Country H is thriving, and their son, Yunhe, is studying art at the University of Montreal, one of the top ten universities in the world. A few days ago, she called, concerned about Mrs. Xu's family, and asked if she wanted to consider studying abroad if she didn't want to take the college entrance exam. She said that with Uncle Yun's family taking care of her in the past, they, as parents, felt at ease.
After all, Yunhe was a friend of Xu's mother for decades, and Yunhe and her daughter had grown up together as childhood sweethearts, so naturally she had to ask her daughter's thoughts. In fact, she was inclined to let Jiajia go abroad, as it would be good for her to go out and see more of the world.
However, Xu Changjia from her previous life remembered having a neighbor she got along well with, but she had absolutely no memory of Yunhe. She was wondering whether she should ask the memory book.
The memories had already appeared, helping her find fragments of her time with Yunhe's family in the memories of 15-year-old Xu Changjia, and telling her that Yunhe was the fifth star she needed to save, but at this time they could only contact each other by phone, and he would return to China in a few years.
She smiled and thanked the memory book, finally understanding that this guy would never appear until a mission deadline, and she couldn't find him if she needed to contact him normally.
Seeing her daughter frown and ponder for a while, Xu's mother finally took her hand and asked, "Jiajia, don't you want to go abroad?"
A single sentence from Xu's mother brought her back to her senses, and she subconsciously sat up straight.
After she figured out the relationship between Yunhe's family and her parents, she no longer needed to hold back when talking to her mother.
Xu Changjia clearly expressed her thoughts to her mother: she did not want to study abroad. She had made friends in China and was able to pick up her studies again. Right now, she just wanted to do well on the college entrance examination. Whether or not to go abroad after the exam would be another matter.
She wasn't the type of person who could immediately integrate into a foreign environment. Uncle Yun's family were her parents' friends, but not her friends. They would reserve a room for her, but they couldn't give her a home.
Xu's mother was very pleased. It was the first time she had heard her daughter's true thoughts and the first time she had seen her daughter talk to her so much. It seemed that choosing Junzhou No.1 Middle School was the right decision, and that not going abroad with Yunhe's family was the right choice.
That night, Xu's mother and father lay in bed, talking about what their daughter had said earlier that day. They were both surprised by her transformation since starting high school, especially by the sentence, "They will reserve a room for her, but they can't give her a home." This left Xu's mother with mixed feelings, and she began to reflect on whether she and Xu Ge had given their daughter too little love and attention over the years.
They were only now marveling at their daughter's growth, realizing she had blossomed into a flower unafraid of wind and rain.
After a moment's thought, Mr. Xu said, "Jiajia is right. But let's not cut off contact with Yunhe's family. After all, you and his mother have been friends for over twenty years. Ask his mother for Yunhe's contact information for Jiajia tomorrow. Let the young people communicate and resolve their issues on their own."
"From what Jiajia said, she's made new friends at No. 1 High School, and she's going to tutoring with them on weekends?"
Mother Xu patted the quilt and said, "Yes, and there's also that little girl Ou Liyao we met back then. She was such a lively and cheerful girl, rough around the edges but meticulous at heart. With her taking care of Jiajia, our daughter can say a few more words."
Mr. Xu agreed and reminded her not to forget to call Yunhe's mother tomorrow before turning off the light and going to sleep.
Xu's mother acted quickly, and the next morning she got Yunhe's contact information—his phone number and phone number.
Xu Changjia saved them all and waited for the verification message from the other side. She then buried herself in writing the test papers again. With only a day and a half of rest time, she was assigned one test paper for each of the nine subjects. She had only finished four test papers yesterday and today. The remaining physics, chemistry, biology, and math papers were really giving her a headache. She really missed the Little Ape Search for questions from her future life.
She was scratching her head in frustration when a coughing sound from her computer screen-off computer drew her attention back to the □□.
Hello, Sister Xu.
