surprise
After the last exam, the students returned to the classroom wailing.
"What should I do? My winter vacation homework is going to pile up again this year."
"Who isn't? The fourth multiple-choice question in math this time completely stumped me."
"You guys only started to get confused when you got to the math test? I was confused from Chinese until now, okay?"
"I can't stand it anymore! I will never reconcile with the Nine Schools Joint Entrance Examination!"
"Wake up, kid. The last nine-school joint entrance exam of your life is over."
A group of people returned to the classroom sighing and holding their test papers, hoping that Jiang Ning would quickly let them leave this place of both sadness and joy.
However, there is a custom in Beicheng No. 1 Middle School that students do not need to hand in the final exam papers. They need to take them home and listen to the teachers’ online explanations.
In other words, they would not be truly liberated until three days later.
The seats in the classroom were in a mess at this moment. Sheng Yao, Hu Chen and others sat together with Qi Wuchen and others as soon as they entered the classroom.
Three of the five people had their heads drooped on the table, leaving only Qi Wuchen and Ling Jianghan, who was supporting his chin with his hand and looking at the scenery, in good spirits.
"Jiang Han," Sheng Yao looked up after a brief moment of sadness and asked, "Do you think this math exam is difficult?"
Qi Wuchen, who was standing by, thought this person was a little strange: "Why don't you ask me?"
"Why should I ask you?" Hu Chen also raised his head and looked at him listlessly: "Aren't all the monsters and demons the same here?"
"You can't say that." Qi Wuchen rarely said anything without being sarcastic: "I can't answer every question either."
"Really?!" Xia Ran immediately raised her head and looked at Qi Wuchen expectantly after hearing this: "Do you also think the math this time is difficult?"
"It's a bit difficult." Qi Wuchen answered truthfully.
Ling Jianghan, who was standing next to him, turned around and glanced at him when he heard the voice.
He didn't say anything, but Qi Wuchen could see that the man was telling him with his eyes: Just pretend.
Sheng Yao suggested, in a rare calm tone, "How about we turn our grief and anger into appetite today and go out for lunch together?"
"Good idea." Xia Ran lazily propped up her chin and said, "We can watch a movie together after dinner to calm down. What do you think?"
When Jiang Han heard this, he immediately remembered something and turned around to talk to Xia Ran: "I can..."
"We don't have time at noon." Qi Wuchen interrupted him in time, silently pinched his hand under the table, and calmly explained: "Aunt Cheng asked us to go back early for dinner."
Jiang Han was pinched so hard that he gasped. After trying to free his hand from under the table twice without success, he finally frowned and looked at Qi Wuchen.
"Oh..." Xia Ran said "eh" and leaned towards Ling Jianghan: "Jianghan, what did you want to say just now?"
Before Ling Jianghan could say anything, the hand that was tightly holding his suddenly loosened without any warning. Qi Wuchen, who was standing next to him, supported his head with one hand and sighed.
“…”
After a moment's silence, Ling Jianghan finally swallowed his original words and replied, "Nothing, we'll make an appointment another day."
The corners of Qi Wuchen's mouth rose slightly silently.
"Okay." Xia Ran's smile faded a little, and she quickly lowered her head and said in a low voice, "Xiao Jiang is here."
Ling Jianghan turned around and saw Jiang Ning holding a piece of paper and writing something on the blackboard.
After a while, Jiang Ning knocked on the blackboard twice and said to the students below the podium, "Winter vacation homework for each subject will be divided according to grades as usual. Students must complete the corresponding holiday homework according to their scores."
When these words were spoken, some people in the classroom were happy while others were sad.
"No, Xiao Jiang," someone bravely protested, tearfully, "This exam is too difficult. If we schedule it this way, we'll cry every day holding our homework."
"Agreed," another voice said. "I've already started crying."
After these two sentences, the scene was filled with cries of grief again.
"Quiet." Jiang Ning looked at them sternly and refused without mercy, "This nine-school joint entrance exam is indeed quite difficult, but do you think the college entrance exam will be any easier? If you don't seize the time to fill in the gaps, what will you do if next year's exam is even more difficult than this one?"
After a moment of silence, Jiang Ning knocked on the podium twice and continued, "Also, starting next semester, Jiang Han will serve as the deputy English class representative, assisting the English teacher with Xu Yao."
Xu Yao looked up in Ling Jianghan's direction with some surprise. Her deskmate leaned over and muffled his "Wow!", "Yaoyao, so you'll be able to have long-term contact with him in the future? Waiting for your good news."
Xu Yao immediately lowered her head, blushing and muttering in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense."
The only person who knew that she liked Ling Jianghan was the little sister who had been her deskmate for two years.
Qi Wuchen yawned lazily, and suddenly the pen in his hand was pressed down on the table with a "thump".
Ling Jianghan, who was standing next to him, was squinting his eyes to look at the words on the blackboard. When he heard the noise, he immediately turned around and looked at him.
Why is this person suddenly unhappy?
Before he could figure it out, Jiang Ning above him announced succinctly, "Students, please pack up and go home. The teachers have a meeting."
Qi Wuchen and Ling Jianghan didn't go to eat, so Sheng Yao followed Xia Ran away, and Hu Chen and a few other people went to the Internet cafe to play games.
"Qi Wuchen," Ling Jianghan called out to the man standing nearby, slowly packing his things, and deliberately lowered his voice, "I'm not going to your house."
"It's too late." Qi Wuchen packed up his things and pulled Ling Jianghan along with him and left. "My dad might already be waiting at the school gate."
"There's someone else in the classroom," Ling Jianghan said as he tried to break free from his hand. "Qi Wuchen! Let me go. I can walk by myself!"
As a result, after the two of them went down the fifth floor, they saw Qi Zhinian who had been waiting for a long time downstairs of the teaching building.
As for why he didn't go up, Qi Wuchen guessed that it was probably because this person didn't even know which class he was in.
The moment Ling Jianghan saw Qi Zhinian clearly, he immediately shook off Qi Wuchen's hand, lowered his head, and greeted him politely: "Uncle Qi."
"Well," Qi Zhinian glanced at Qi Wuchen who raised an eyebrow at him, "Your Aunt Yun is waiting for you to go back for lunch."
"Okay." Qi Wuchen replied in a rare cheerful tone, took Ling Jianghan's arm and walked forward.
"Let go!" Ling Jianghan cursed in a low voice, "Qi Wuchen, do you still have any shame?"
…
When the three of them arrived safely, Yun Ren was still cooking in the kitchen, and Qi Chiyue was teaching Qi Yun to write in the study.
After Qi Zhinian led them into the house, he went out again, saying that he was going to the garden behind to get something.
Qi Wuchen took Ling Jianghan to the second floor to find Qi Chiyue and the others. Qi Yun, who had just finished writing, gave Ling Jianghan a warm hug when he saw him.
While a few people were chatting, Qi Chiyue accidentally glanced at the necklaces on their necks.
Before she had time to think about it, Yun Min downstairs asked them to come down to eat together.
Qi Chiyue guessed that Qi Wuchen must have done something to annoy Ling Jianghan, and Ling Jianghan was one or two steps faster than him when going downstairs.
She walked behind holding Qi Yun's hand, watching with interest how her own brother kept pestering others to talk.
Ling Jianghan, who was walking in front, was determined to ignore the people behind him. No matter what Qi Wuchen said, he was unwilling to say a word. He just lowered his eyes and walked down the stairs.
When there were only two steps left, Jiang Han was suddenly blocked by a ball of "cotton" that appeared from nowhere.
He stopped and froze in place the moment he saw the ball of "cotton" clearly.
Qi Wuchen behind him followed his gaze and looked straight ahead, and saw a white puppy sticking out its tongue and wagging its tail at them.
The only yellow parts of the puppy's body are its ears. It looks a bit like a Pachadog, and it's quite cute when it tilts its head towards them.
"Wow! It's a puppy!" After saying that, Qi Yun let go of Qi Chiyue's hand and walked forward happily.
Qi Wuchen was also rarely touched by the cuteness of this little thing, and was just about to ask Ling Jianghan if he wanted to hug it.
He saw his Jiang Han suddenly grab his arm, lift his foot and take a step back, standing side by side with him on the same step of the stairs.
Qi Wuchen, who was about to say this, and Qi Chiyue, who was standing behind and witnessed the whole process, said: "?"
