Chapter 1: Spring in March
March always has a name that blows warmly, colliding with the spring breeze, and the sunshine flows tenderly. Spring is like a tender girl, dancing lightly with her sleeves. Green grass has grown in the fields. That is the kiss given to the world by the March sun.
Chi Jinjin stood in the bus stop and looked down at the electronic watch on her wrist, which had some paint peeling off.
"Jinjin, when you get to school, remember to call your parents." Zhang Xianmei reached out and tidied up the messy hair on Chi Jinjin's forehead, and said with concern.
Chi Jinjin looked at Chi Changgui next to him and nodded, "Okay, I'll call you back when I get there."
Zhang Xianmei still looked worried.
Chi Jinjin smiled and said, "Mom and Dad, you don't have to worry about me."
Zhang Xianmei sighed and said, "You're going so far, and we can't take you there. What if you get lost in the city? Otherwise, why not ask your dad to take you there?"
"No need." Chi Jinjin said, "I'm already this old, and I'm already busy with a lot of chores at home. You don't have to worry about me. Besides, Tang Shi will pick me up over there, so you can just go about your business."
At this time, a whistle sounded in the distance, and the bus to the county town slowly drove over.
"Mom, stop talking. The car is coming."
Chi Jinjin quickly reached out to stop the car, then turned and ran to the pavilion, picked up the huge woven bag, pulled the tattered suitcase and got into the car.
"Jinjin." Chi Changgui said, "If you run out of money over there, remember to tell Dad."
Chi Jinjin nodded, the car door slowly closed, and it started moving forward again. The two figures outside the door moved backwards. She ran to the seat, opened the window, and stuck her head out to the reluctant Zhang Xianmei and Chi Changgui in the back, shouting, "Mom and Dad, you guys go back. I'll take good care of myself over there!"
Zhang Xianmei nodded at her, tears in her eyes. Chi Changgui put his arm around Zhang Xianmei's shoulders.
Chi Jinjin watched the two old figures gradually moving away, until they blurred and disappeared, leaving only the winding road in the sun.
She lowered her head and sat down in her seat. The spring breeze, carrying the fragrance of rapeseed flowers, blew on her face, and ripples appeared on the sea of rapeseed flowers outside the window.
Looking at the fresh scene outside the window like an oil painting, Chi Jinjin couldn't help but think of the sentence in her heart - In March, the spring breeze brings the news of flowers, and thousands of red and purple flowers compete to bloom. The God of Spring accompanies her in searching for flowers, and they turn into fragrance in my arms.
Embracing the fragrance of her hometown, she rode the spring breeze of March towards the longed-for yet unfamiliar city, beginning a new chapter in her life...
This was her second time leaving the town. The first time she left was when she took the junior high school to high school entrance examination. Due to limited conditions in the township school, the examination center was set up in the county town. She came and left in a hurry that time.
At that time, she had not thought that she would later get the first place in the county and be admitted to the No. 1 High School in City A.
If the village chief hadn't brought the admission letter to her while she was still peeling corn, she wouldn't have dared to believe the news. Now thinking about it, it seems like a dream.
Chi Jinjin leaned against the window and looked out quietly. The rapeseed fields on the roadside became fewer and fewer, the winding road ahead gradually became wider and straighter, and the houses next to it gradually became taller.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, after nine hours, Chi Jinjin finally arrived in City A. There was no trace of rapeseed fields outside the window, and even the green mountains were gone. Instead, there were tall buildings that reached the sky and a constant stream of cars. The sounds of insects and birds were no longer in his ears, but honking horns and all kinds of noisy music.
The shuttle bus drove into the station. Chi Jinjin looked out the window and saw Tang Shi waving at her in the crowd, so she quickly waved back.
Tang Shi, although her name sounds poetic, she is actually an impetuous Leo. It is said that Taurus and Leo are mortal enemies, but Chi Jinjin, a Taurus, and Tang Shi, a Leo, became each other's only best friends in junior high school from being deskmates.
"We've arrived at City A. Get ready to get off the bus. Grab your luggage and make sure you don't take the wrong one."
The driver stood up and turned around to remind the passengers in the car.
Chi Jinjin got out of the car carrying a suitcase and a woven bag. Tang Shi squeezed out of the crowd and ran to her.
"Jinjin!" Tang Shi hugged her tightly and said excitedly, "I've been looking forward to seeing you for so long, and finally you've come!"
Chi Jinjin reached out and hugged her happily.
"Let's go, we're going to school." Tang Shi said.
Seeing that she was only carrying a small bag, Chi Jinjin asked curiously, "Where's your luggage?"
Tang Shi said, "I only brought a few pieces of clothing. I planned to buy new ones for the rest, but I'm too lazy to bring anything else."
"Oh, let's go." Chi Jinjin nodded.
"Yeah." Tang Shi pulled her suitcase over.
Chi Jinjin said hurriedly, "No, no, this box is quite heavy, I can carry it myself."
"It's okay, I'm very strong." Tang Shi pulled her suitcase and strode forward.
Chi Jinjin smiled and quickly followed.
The two took a taxi to No. 1 High School. Chi Jinjin looked at the tall buildings outside the window and was shocked. She had only heard from her teachers before that City A was the heart of the province, a super first-tier city, and the most prosperous place. Although she had imagined the prosperity of the city through the photos in the books, this prosperous scene still far exceeded her imagination.
"Ji Jin."
Hearing Tang Shi's voice, Chi Jinjin turned around.
Tang Shi said with a smile, "You know, when I heard you were accepted, I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night."
"Are you all freshmen in high school?" the driver in front suddenly asked.
Tang Shi replied, "Yes."
"Then you must have very good grades," said the driver.
Tang Shi said, "I'm not good, but my sister is good, the best in the county!"
As she spoke, she looked very proud, as if she had got first place in the exam.
"Wow, this little girl is so awesome." The driver praised.
Chi Jinjin smiled shyly, feeling embarrassed.
But in fact, she has always envied Tang Shi, a man who was blessed by God and had a super athletic talent since childhood. He was directly admitted to A High School as a special student with a score of 14 seconds for 100 meters.
Soon, the car arrived at A High School. Seeing that they were students there, the driver gave them half the fare.
"Study hard, young pillars of the motherland." The driver smiled at her.
Chi Jinjin said gratefully, "Thank you uncle, goodbye uncle."
The driver waved and drove away.
Chi Jinjin turned around and looked at the school gate behind her. She actually felt the majestic grandeur of the imperial palace. The school gate could be described as magnificent and golden. The ancient architecture used was like an ancient city wall, with painted pillars, beams, and boats. The exterior was made of stone tiles and painted bases. The four large characters "A City No. 1 High School" made of pure gold sparkled in the sun.
Since she was a child, she had heard her cousins who came back from working outside talk about how beautiful and magnificent No. 1 High School in City A was and how amazing the people there were. She never thought that one day she would stand in front of it and become one of its members.
"It's so big! No wonder others are trying their best to get in. Even people from other provinces use all kinds of connections to come here to study." Tang Shi sighed.
Chi Jinjin said, "Of course. A-High School is the best high school in China. I heard that people here can at least get into a second-tier university. My grades are just here, so it's not worth mentioning at all."
"I don't care, you're the best." Tang Shi put her arm around Chi Jinjin's shoulders and said with a smile, "Come on, let's go in."
"Yeah." Chi Jinjin nodded, and walked into the school gate with joy, setting foot on this legendary place.
After entering, it was even more spectacular. The badminton court of the junior high school that Chi Jinjin attended before was not as big as this one.
"Jinjin, that seems to be the class ranking list over there. Let's go over and take a look." Tang Shi pointed at the crowd in front.
Chi Jinjin followed her into the crowd and took a closer look. It was indeed the class list. The red paper was filled with golden names written with a brush.
"What beautiful handwriting." Chi Jinjin couldn't help but sigh in admiration. Each word was written in one go, flowing like flowing water, making people want to applaud. It can be seen that the teacher who wrote these words has great calligraphy skills.
Tang Shi patted her and said, "Hey, what are you looking at? Look for the name."
"Ah? Oh." Chi Jinjin came back to her senses and began to look for her name line by line.
After searching for a few pieces of paper, I finally found my name.
"Ah! Jinjin! We are in the same class!" Tang Shi said excitedly.
"Yes." Chi Jinjin excitedly took her hand and said happily, "We can be classmates again."
"Yeah!" Tang Shi jumped up happily.
"Hello, classmates."
Suddenly, a very gentle voice sounded behind me.
Chi Jinjin and Tang Shi turned around and saw a girl in a school uniform with a work badge around her neck and a notebook in her hand appear behind them. She smiled and asked, "Are you two freshmen?"
"Yes." Tang Shi and Chi Jinjin answered in unison.
"I'm a senior from your class of 12. My last name is Lu, and I'm in charge of your recruitment."
"Hello, Senior Sister Lu!" Chi Jinjin and Tang Shi hurriedly greeted her.
Senior Lu asked, "Have you found your names? Which class are you in?"
"Class 140." Chi Jinjin replied.
Senior Sister Lu flipped through the notebook in her hand and said, "Okay, come with me. I'll take you to the dormitory where you will be staying."
"Thank you for your help, senior." Chi Jinjin expressed her gratitude.
Senior Sister Lu smiled and said, "No thanks, no thanks, let's go."
"Okay." Chi Jinjin took the luggage and followed Senior Lu to the dormitory building.
But when they were halfway there, deafening screams suddenly rang out all around them, and the girls on the roadside ran past them like crazy.
"What happened? An earthquake?" Tang Shi looked confused.
Senior Sister Lu chuckled and said, "No, they should be here."
them?
Chi Jinjin and Tang Shi turned around at the same time and saw two cars, one blue and one black, driving in from the school gate. One was a Lamborghini and the other was a Ferrari.
Of course, Chi Jinjin was not familiar with these luxury cars. She only saw them in books later, but now her intuition told her that those cars were worth a lot of money.
"Can we drive into the school?" Tang Shi wondered.
Senior Lu said, “You can’t drive into the school, but they are an exception.”
"Why? On what basis?" Tang Shi was puzzled, and Chi Jinjin was also very curious.
Senior Lu explained, "Because the driver is our school's third young master, and also your senior from the class of 13."
As he was speaking, a boy with short messy hair got out of the Lamborghini. He was wearing a floral shirt and overalls, chewing gum, and had a black tattoo on his arm that looked like a talisman. His facial features were quite mixed-race and had a strong visual impact. He leaned lazily against the car, took out a pair of sunglasses from his trouser pocket and put them on.
Soon a boy came out from another car. He was wearing bright red loose clothes and had a pair of seductive fox eyes.
Two hot girls got out of his car. He held one in each hand, with a nonchalant smile on his face, looking like a seductress who brought disaster to the country and the people.
"Who are they?" Tang Shi asked.
Senior Lu replied, "The one in red is Ji Yang, the eldest son of Ji Entertainment Company. He's a playboy and changes girlfriends like he changes clothes. The one in the flowery shirt is Song Ci, the eldest son of the Song Group. He's not a playboy, but he has a bad temper and is easily angered. No girl dares to get close to him."
"Ji Entertainment and Song Group are both large companies with wealthy owners." Tang Shi suddenly realized and said, "No wonder they can act so recklessly in school."
"After all, the success of this school is all thanks to their families," the senior student kindly reminded them. "Those three are the school's little bullies. From now on, if you see them in school, you must stay away from them. Anyone who offends them will be isolated by the entire school, and no teacher will care about them."
"Yeah, thank you for the reminder, senior." Chi Jinjin nodded.
"That's not right." Tang Shi thought of something and asked curiously, "Aren't you talking about the Third Young Master? Then who is the other one?"
Senior Sister Lu's tone changed slightly, from a bit of disdain to a serious tone, and she said, "There is also someone named Nan Xuqiu, who is a special person. You still have a long time to stay in this school, and you will have the opportunity to meet him."
"Oh, enough talking." Senior Sister Lu said, "Let's go, I'll take you to the dormitory."
"Wait a minute, senior sister, let's take a look." Tang Shi asked with interest.
Chi Jinjin dragged Tang Shi away and said fearfully, "Let's go, don't look at it, or you'll get into trouble."
"Okay." Tang Shi had no choice but to follow them away reluctantly, looking back every few steps.
Following Senior Sister Lu, they finally arrived at the dormitory building. The building had seven floors and they lived on the top floor.
Fortunately, there is an elevator in the dormitory.
It was Chi Jinjin's first time to take an elevator. She had only seen it in TV dramas before. She was secretly excited and carefully observed how her senior classmates took the elevator. She was afraid that she would make a fool of herself next time.
After the elevator arrived, Chi Jinjin hurried out, fearing that the door would pinch her. At that time, she didn't know that the door was sensory.
"What are your names?" asked Senior Lu.
Chi Jinjin and Tang Shi gave their names.
Senior Sister Lu looked down at the workbook in her hand, then pointed to the room on the right and said to Chi Jinjin, "Junior Sister Chi, you live in 712, and Junior Sister Tang, you live in 713."
"Ah?" Tang Shi said disappointedly, "Jinjin, we don't live together..."
"It's okay, it's just separated by a wall." Chi Jinjin smiled helplessly.
