Angry
"Zhizhi, have you heard? The quota for our school's No. 1 middle school recruitment has been announced. Guess who was chosen?"
During the afternoon break, Li Rongrong came over angrily.
"Who is it?" Jiang Zhizhi replied casually.
"Xu Qingbo, Lin Qingyu, and Lin Jiayi." Li Rongrong was furious.
Jiang Zhizhi smiled at her and said, "It's okay. With your grades, you'll definitely have no problem getting into the key class of the No. 1 Middle School in the city."
Hearing Jiang Zhizhi's words, Li Rongrong became even more angry. "What are you talking about? I'm just standing up for you! In the second mock exam, the midterm exam, and this time, the third mock exam, you were always in the top three in the class. And yet the spot for the special recruitment wasn't given to you, but to Lin Jiayi. Aren't you angry at all?"
"This is the first time he has ranked fourth in the class since he entered the sixth grade. If we go by average scores, Yan Xue and I are ahead of him! The reason he was able to get the admission quota must be because his father is a teacher at the No. 1 Middle School in the city, and he got in through the back door. He was able to rank fourth in the third mock exam this time, maybe he did something!" Li Rongrong said unconvinced.
Jiang Zhizhi didn't know how to respond to Li Rongrong.
Suddenly, the sound of knocking on the blackboard from the podium interrupted them.
Lin Qingyu stood there holding the report card for the third mock exam and said, "The homeroom teacher said that the seats for the next self-study class will be arranged. Everyone, please pack your things first."
Seats are assigned according to grades, from first to last, and students can choose their seats freely.
Jiang Zhizhi was the first one. When her name was called, she subconsciously looked towards the seat by the window in the third row and walked over with her schoolbag.
Looking out from here, you can see the playground outside, and the sunlight pours in from the window, feeling warm.
"Xu Qingbo."
After Jiang Zhizhi made her choice, it was Xu Qingbo's turn.
He paused in his original seat for a while, then took his schoolbag and sat in the second row in front of Jiang Zhizhi.
The seats were taken one by one, and Li Rongrong sat to the right of Jiang Zhizhi.
When it was the turn of the 28th person, Lu Xiye, the seats in the front had almost all been taken.
He carried his schoolbag and walked to the back row behind Jiang Zhizhi in a casual manner.
Behind Jiang Zhizhi was a short boy wearing glasses. Lu Xiye stepped on his stool and said in a very arrogant tone, "Go to the back."
Jiang Zhizhi turned around and saw his bully-like look, and her brows furrowed.
Just as he was about to say something, the short boy had already timidly retreated to the fifth row with his schoolbag, and Lu Xiye sat down on the stool in a nonchalant manner.
Jiang Zhizhi felt inexplicably angry. She glared at Lu Xiye with disgust, then turned around and continued doing her math homework.
Because of what happened last night, Lu Xiye felt a little embarrassed when he saw Jiang Zhizhi.
After a while of boredom, he couldn't help but poke Jiang Zhizhi's back with the tip of his pen and whispered, "Jiang Zhizhi, my dad bought me a computer."
Jiang Zhizhi didn't want to pay attention to him.
Lu Xiye poked her back again, then slumped down on the table. "My dad said he'd arrange for me to go to Hawaii this summer. Do you want to go?"
Jiang Zhizhi turned around irritably and cursed in a low voice: "Are you sick? Don't touch me!"
Lu Xiye was stunned by Jiang Zhizhi's scolding.
He didn't understand. Yesterday, Jiang Zhizhi defended him so much in front of his father, making his father feel guilty and give him a lot of compensation. Why was she ignoring her again today?
"What are you doing? I didn't provoke you, did I?" Lu Xiye was scolded for no reason and felt a little angry.
He snorted, tilted his head and laid on the table, no longer paying attention to Jiang Zhizhi.
Until school was over in the afternoon, he refrained from saying a word to Jiang Zhizhi, and Jiang Zhizhi seemed to completely ignore him, the new back row seat member.
Lu Xiye thought that Jiang Zhizhi had completely ignored him, but fortunately, after coming out of school, Jiang Zhizhi still walked towards his community.
Before they even reached the gate of the community, Lu Xiye couldn't help but approach her, "Jiang Zhizhi, your temper is really weird, isn't it? How did I offend you?"
Jiang Zhizhi stopped and looked at him coldly, "Why do you bully your classmates?"
"When did I bully my classmates?"
"You drove Li Wenqing out of the fourth row. Isn't that bullying your classmates? That was the seat he chose first!" Jiang Zhizhi said angrily.
"I just wanted to sit behind you!"
Jiang Zhizhi sneered, "You want to sit behind me and bully my classmates? If you want money in the future, can you kill people and set fire to them?"
"Are you exaggerating? I just asked him to go to the back. How could I bully him? There's nothing wrong with the fifth row. He's not angry, so why are you angry?" Lu Xiye really didn't understand. Li Wenqing usually followed behind him. At best, he was just one of his little brothers. He just asked him to move. What was wrong with that?
Looking at Lu Xiye in front of her, Jiang Zhizhi felt increasingly cold in her heart.
"Yeah, you don't understand, and you never will."
During the evening tutoring session, Jiang Zhizhi didn't say a word other than explaining the questions to Lu Xiye.
Lu Xiye felt her indifference and felt very depressed. He couldn't even concentrate on doing his homework.
If it were before, Jiang Zhizhi would definitely have scolded him.
But today, she didn't seem to care at all and didn't even bother to pay attention to him.
It was not until eight o'clock that the tutoring ended and Jiang Zhizhi packed up and left. Lu Xiye moved his lips, wanting to say something, but before he could say anything, Jiang Zhizhi had already strode out.
Lu Xiye sat cross-legged on the carpet, feeling even more depressed.
Originally, he received a gift from his father, and the relationship between father and son eased, so he was quite happy.
But now, he didn't even feel like turning on the computer.
He felt that he was completely controlled by Jiang Zhizhi.
The next day, Wednesday.
There are still a few minutes before class starts and almost everyone in the class has arrived.
Lu Xiye ran to the podium and slapped the blackboard eraser, "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet."
His serious look made everyone look over curiously.
Lu Xiye coughed lightly and said solemnly, "I want to apologize to Li Wenqing today. When we arranged seats for self-study class yesterday, he chose the fourth row by the window, but because I wanted to sit there too, I drove him away. My behavior was wrong. Now, in front of everyone, I solemnly apologize to Li Wenqing. Li Wenqing, I'm sorry."
This was the first time Lu Xiye apologized to someone in front of so many people. He pretended to be fine on the surface, but he was still a little embarrassed and nervous in his heart.
He glanced at Jiang Zhizhi, and sure enough, Jiang Zhizhi looked over at him.
Lu Xiye breathed a sigh of relief. In this case, she should be satisfied, right?
But the next moment, Wang Wei burst into laughter and whistled boisterously, "Li Wenqing, Brother Ye is apologizing to you! What are you standing there for? Hurry up and stand up and say something!"
He thought Lu Xiye was teasing Li Wenqing and deliberately adding fuel to the fire.
Wang Wei started to stir up trouble, and the others also started to make a fuss.
"That's right, don't leave our Brother Ye hanging on the podium!"
"You're so hesitant about such a small matter, and we still need Brother Ye to apologize?"
“…”
Li Wenqing was a bit shy to begin with, and after being teased by everyone, his face turned red with embarrassment.
He had no choice but to stand up and whispered, "It's okay, I'm fine sitting here."
"Louder your voice! No one can hear you..." Wang Wei shouted, enjoying the fun.
Lu Xiye just wanted to go to the podium to apologize and express his attitude to Jiang Zhizhi, but he didn't expect it to have the opposite effect.
Seeing Jiang Zhizhi's face turn black, he immediately got angry too. He picked up the blackboard eraser and threw it at Wang Wei, "Fuck it! I'm apologizing to someone, why are you messing around? Are you looking for death?"
"Ding-ling-ling!"
The class bell rang.
Not only did Lu Xiye fail to apologize, but it also turned into a farce.
But there was no time left, the teacher was about to come, so he had to get down from the podium.
After coming down, he walked to Wang Wei's seat and kicked him twice angrily.
Things went wrong and Jiang Zhizhi ignored him even more.
Lu Xiye was so depressed that he was about to explode.
*
In the afternoon, we have physical education class and free time after running.
Xu Qingbo asked Jiang Zhizhi to play chess. Jiang Zhizhi was in a bad mood and wanted to take a break, so she agreed.
Two people set up a chessboard on the steps of the flag-raising platform.
"Do you know about that incident?" Xu Qingbo asked while setting up the chess pieces.
"What's going on?"
"Point."
Xu Qingbo knew that there were some places available for recruitment, and with his grades, it was a sure thing for him to get one.
But after knowing that Jiang Zhizhi did not get the recruitment quota, he felt a little uncomfortable.
Especially in the third mock exam, Jiang Zhizhi scored 290 points.
After entering the sixth grade, he just barely scored 290 points several times and failed to pass the exam.
"Oh." Jiang Zhizhi smiled. "I know, you got a spot in the recruitment program and can directly enter the key class of the No. 1 Middle School in the city. Congratulations."
"Jiang Zhizhi, I'll give you the recruitment quota. It should have been yours..." Xu Qingbo said.
"You deserve the spot. I didn't get it, maybe because my previous grades weren't good enough. Don't worry, even if there's no spot for admission, I can still get into the key class of the No. 1 Middle School in the city!" Jiang Zhizhi said with determination.
After hearing what she said, Xu Qingbo agreed and said, "You will definitely pass the exam! I believe in you!"
"Bang!"
As the two were talking, a basketball suddenly hit the flag-raising platform and bounced towards them.
"careful!"
Xu Qingbo quickly dodged, and Jiang Zhizhi sat there without moving.
The basketball brushed past her.
It was just a little bit away from hitting her face.
Lu Xiye ran over in a hurry and asked in a panic: "Jiang Zhizhi, are you okay?"
Jiang Zhizhi looked at him straight without saying anything.
Lu Xiye felt guilty when she looked at him, and quickly explained: "I really didn't mean it."
"It's okay, it didn't hit me anyway." Jiang Zhizhi put away the chessboard with her head down indifferently, and said to Xu Qingbo, "Let's go play in the classroom."
Jiang Zhizhi's attitude made Lu Xiye feel even more uncomfortable than if she jumped up and scolded him.
He went to the back of the flag-raising platform to pick up the ball, and when he returned to the basketball court, he passed the ball to someone else and said, "You guys play, I won't play anymore."
After making Jiang Zhizhi angry, he felt that everything he did was boring.
So, he went back to the classroom.
In the front row, Jiang Zhizhi and Xu Qingbo were playing chess, and he was sitting alone in the back, working on a math test paper.
