It rained on Monday.
Lin Chaoxi was holding a black umbrella, and by the time he reached the school, he was almost completely wet.
The school gate was particularly busy today. Car exhaust steamed in the rain curtain, forming a smoky blue mist. Parents did not leave immediately after sending their children to school. Lin Chaoxi walked along and heard many parents telling their children not to be nervous and that it didn't matter which class they were assigned to.
But when the children turn around, the parents always stay where they are because of their earnest hope.
There were many students crowding outside the school bulletin board.
From a distance, umbrellas of various colors, red, yellow, blue and green, spread out like bright and moist oil paintings.
Lin Chaoxi glanced there, turned around and walked towards the teaching building.
It was quite awkward when I entered the classroom. The whole class seemed to be under some kind of short-term stillness spell and paused for a moment.
Even though it was raining, the students in their class arrived extra early today.
Lin Chaoxi scanned the classroom and saw Pei Zhi sitting at the back of the room, reading a book as usual.
Beside Pei Zhi, Zheng Tianming raised the end of his ballpoint pen and pointed to the white A4 paper posted on the blackboard in front of the classroom. The words "Third Academic Year" and "Class List" could be vaguely seen.
Everyone was looking at her.
Lin Chaoxi was stunned. She knew that she probably did well in the exam, but the attention she received seemed a bit excessive. At this moment, Pei Zhi raised his head, glanced at her, and then looked behind her, reminding her.
Lin Chaoxi turned around and found An Xiaoxiao standing behind him.
"Why are you blocking the door?" Miss An asked arrogantly.
I don't know if it's because the air pressure is so low today, but the class is in an uproar.
The girls watched An Xiaoxiao whispering to each other. The usually noisy boys stopped yelling. Even Zheng Matt, who was always overly enthusiastic towards girls, did not call her "Xiaoxiao baby."
There was a thunder outside the window.
Lin Chaoxi shuddered and subconsciously walked towards the class list which she didn't want to look at.
The form printed their class list and adjusted class number, but their grades were not made public.
Lin Chaoxi saw his own name at first glance, followed by the class number "1". Pei Zhi was a transfer student, so his name was temporarily added to the end, followed by the class number "1".
Lin Chaoxi didn't know what the problem was.
It was at this moment of hesitation that she frowned subconsciously, realizing that she seemed to have seen a third "1" when she just glanced over it.
She tapped her finger on the form and moved it upwards a little bit.
Sure enough, in the middle of a row of orderly numbers "13", there was actually a third abrupt class number - "1".
Is there anyone else who got into Class 1?
Lin Chaoxi's fingers slowly moved to the left again, and the three characters "An Xiaoxiao" stood out abruptly.
Everything has a reason.
Lin Chaoxi slowly turned around and looked at An Xiaoxiao with the same incredible eyes, like everyone else in their class.
An Xiaoxiao must have seen the results on the promotional column, so she couldn't hide the joy on her face.
"Are you looking at me? You are only allowed to take the exam for Class 1?" The girl raised her eyebrows bluntly.
Lin Chaoxi shook her head. She was just surprised and didn't have any other emotions.
But considering An Xiaoxiao's later position in the Student Union of Baicao University, she should be good in all aspects and very motivated, so there is actually no problem for her to be admitted to Class 1.
An Xiaoxiao walked slowly to her seat under the gaze of her classmates.
She put her schoolbag down with a bang and began to tidy up the things on the table.
Water cup, extracurricular books, tissues...
The girl sitting next to her always felt shocked by An Xiaoxiao's aura. After a while, she asked timidly, "Xiaoxiao, how come you did so well in the exam this time?"
"Yeah, it's really scary, I suddenly got into Class 1?"
The boy in the front row also asked.
The class fell silent again. Everyone wanted to hear the answer, but An Xiaoxiao just stuck out her tongue and said, "I was just playing around. I didn't expect to do so well in the exam."
The girl sitting next to me was briefly embarrassed, then said, "You are really smart."
"I don't know either." An Xiaoxiao laughed.
The class was once again filled with a suffocating atmosphere, but An Xiaoxiao enjoyed the feeling. The rain was falling, and soon, the only sound in the classroom was An Xiaoxiao's busy packing.
It was extremely quiet.
Li Shu walked into the classroom holding a stack of materials.
She glanced at the students in the class with purpose and found An Xiaoxiao who was packing her things. She nodded with a look of relief.
Lin Chaoxi had been standing at the door. Before Li Shu could speak, she pulled the head teacher aside and whispered, "Teacher, I want to talk to you."
——
"What are you talking about? Don't joke about your own numbers!"
Lin Chaoxi and Li Shu stood at the corner outside the classroom, and outside the window was the hazy campus in the rain.
She stated her thoughts in a simple and straightforward manner, and Li Shu raised her voice and scolded her.
Looking at the anxious eyes of the head teacher, Lin Zhaoxi repeated with certainty: "Teacher, I don't want to go to Zhongming's class. I want to stay in Class 13."
"No, your grades are so good, and the classes have already been divided. Can you change it just because you want to?"
"But I don't want to go, and you can't force me to carry a chair and move me to Class 1 for class," said Lin Chaoxi.
"Why are you like this, kid?" Li Shu was speechless. After a while, she began to find reasons to comfort her: "Are you afraid of Teacher Ma? It's okay. Teacher Ma is just fierce in her words. As long as you have good grades, she will definitely like you!"
"no."
"Or is it because of what the teacher said to you the other day that you feel pressured? Take care of yourself first. Bao Xiaomeng has nothing to do with you!"
"It's not mainly for her."
"Then why are you doing this?" Li Shu became anxious.
"Specifically, I can't seem to explain it clearly." Lin Chaoxi answered honestly.
"I don't agree!" Li Shu shouted.
"I'm not going anyway. If you don't let me stay, I'll just sit at the back of the classroom and listen to every class."
Lin Chaoxi ran away after he finished speaking. There was a roar of wind and rain. Li Shu was left alone at the window, feeling very confused.
Actually, it was Lao Lin who helped her make the decision.
Although Mr. Lin had a look on his face yesterday that said, "Dad won't affect your life," he still gave her the greatest help at the last moment.
——Don't be changed by the world.
In fact, it means to let her stay in Class 13, try not to be influenced by the environment, and do her own thing.
Of course, this sentence can be understood from another perspective, but for Lin Chaoxi, after a brief conversation with Lao Lin, she clearly discovered that although she rationally thought it would be better for her to go to Class 1, deep down in her heart, she actually wanted to stay.
Since she wants to stay, she can stay. She studies so hard so that she can go wherever she wants in the future. Why should she be afraid that she can't study well if she stays in Class 13? If she doesn't even have this little confidence, then it will really lose points.
Lin Zhaoxi quietly walked back to the classroom. Pei Zhi put down his pen and looked at her: "Did you tell me too?"
Lin Zhaoxi: “???”
Pei Zhi put down his pen helplessly, stood up, and walked out of the classroom from the back door in the direction she came from.
Lin Chaoxi hurriedly followed him out, and before she grabbed Pei Zhi's sleeve, she wanted to say "You don't have to accompany me", but the moment Pei Zhi turned around and showed his face, Lin Chaoxi suddenly realized that if she said this, it would be underestimating Pei Zhi.
That is Pei Zhi, the Pei Zhi who would say "Give me 10 minutes" in elementary school, the Pei Zhi who would not be shaken by others, the Pei Zhi who was always firm and sober, and who could easily be praised to the point of running out of words.
He stayed only because he wanted to stay.
Pei Zhimai opened his legs and walked closer to Li Shu than she did. He said calmly, "Teacher, I won't go to Zhongming's class either."
Li Shu: “!!!”
At this time, Lin Chaoxi took a step back.
Li Shu looked at them with suspicion, and suddenly seemed to understand something: "Are you guys in premature love? I'm telling you, don't think I won't care about premature love in our class!"
"No, no!" Lin Zhaoxi shook his hands quickly, but his face turned red involuntarily.
Pei Zhi was wearing a school suit uniform, his eyes were lowered, and he said nothing.
Li Shu looked at them with a very suspicious look, as if she had confirmed something. Lin Chaoxi felt that his acting skills were really ruined.
"If we're not in love, then why is this happening?" Li Shu asked.
"Teacher." Pei Zhi said.
"What?"
“I got good grades.”
"Of course you have good grades. You got first place in the whole grade this time!"
"Then I can stay wherever I want, right?"
Li Shu wanted to say something in rebuttal, but the words got stuck at her lips. She looked at Pei Zhi uncomfortably, thinking that this seemed to be the case.
Pei Zhi turned and left. Lin Chaoxi looked at his back and felt that he was as decisive as ever.
——
During their brief conversation with Li Shu, Matt Zheng had been eavesdropping through the back door.
So when she and Pei Zhi walked back to the classroom, Zheng Matt had an expression that looked like "Am I still dreaming?"
"Why don't you go to Class 1?"
His confused voice echoed in the class.
When many classmates heard this, they suddenly turned around and looked at them.
Bao Xiaomeng pressed on the table and tried to calm herself down.
An Xiaoxiao was halfway there with her schoolbag on her back when she suddenly stopped in disbelief.
Inquiries came in overwhelming numbers.
"Why?"
"Are you guys going to stay?"
"What's wrong?"
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lin Chaoxi quietly hid outside the door, wanting Pei Zhi to take charge.
Pei Zhi stood at the back door, facing the excited boys and girls, and could only nod: "Yes, we won't leave."
"Isn't that too loyal!?"
"Sharing the good and the bad!"
Many students in the class were very happy. Everyone talked and laughed, which diluted the depressed mood of the whole class when An Xiaoxiao was leaving.
"Fuck!" Zheng Mart bumped Pei Zhi's shoulder. "Brother Pei, you are so kind. I admire you. Why are you so kind that you specially stayed to accompany us?"
After hearing this, An Xiaoxiao couldn't help herself. She turned around and said, "Good students stay here because I want to help you study hard and make progress every day~"
The class fell silent again.
"Xiaoxiao baby, you seem a little weird today." Zheng Tianming couldn't help but say.
"hehe."
"Isn't that great? If I have any questions, I can ask Pei Zhi. Brother Pei is right beside me."
"Are you stupid? Why don't they go to Class 1 if they can? Aren't they just showing mercy and giving alms to you?"
Matt Zheng didn't quite understand what she was talking about. He thought about it for a while, and then asked her word by word in a serious tone, "Xiaoxiao baby, are you a little bit inferior in your heart?"
An Xiaoxiao was immediately furious, picked up her schoolbag, turned around and left.
——
An Xiaoxiao's words actually made Lin Chaoxi worry about the emotions of other classmates in the class.
But the facts prove that this worry seems a bit unnecessary. Those who stay will only become companions, and will not become enemies.
Of course, if they said they wanted to stay in Class 13, it would have been impossible for the school to not stop them at all.
Anyway, in the whole morning, many teachers, from their head teacher to the head teacher of Class 1, from the grade group leader to the executive vice-principal, came to talk to them. The teachers and principals took turns to bombard them and even did not let them attend the morning classes.
But Pei Zhi insisted shaking his head.
Lin Zhaoxi learned that silence is golden.
The teachers really couldn't do anything about them, and finally the enlightened old man, the grade leader, said, "Let them be," and they were allowed to stay in Class 13. The only change was that the class might have to add two more sets of desks and chairs.
At noon, Lin Chaoxi and Pei Zhi were finally sent back to the classroom.
The class remained basically the same because they had not packed up their things and were called away by the teacher, so when they returned to the classroom and sat down, many classmates looked at them nervously, waiting for them to announce the results.
Pei Zhi stopped and nodded to everyone.
"Brother Pei and baby Chaoxi are so cool!" Matt Zheng whistled, "I want to fall in love with you!"
"No threesome, Brother Tian!"
The classroom was filled with a happy atmosphere, and Lin Chaoxi looked at her classmates.
Perhaps only when she looks back on her choice today can she make an objective and frank assessment.
But at this moment, she thought that her choice today was correct.
