Chapter 111

If this is considered liking Song Peifeng, then Jiang Xi from No. 1 Middle School really likes Song Peifeng. She likes him so much that she doesn’t want to stay with someone she likes for even one more second. She doesn’t hesitate for a second when the class is over. As soon as the teacher leaves the classroom, she disappears. She is the first one to leave and the last one to come in every day, coming and going like the wind.

They also curiously asked other students from No. 1 Middle School why she rushes out so quickly every day.

Unfortunately, among the twenty students from No. 1 Middle School who came for the training, the remaining nineteen were from the first and second classes of the key classes. Only Jiang Xi was from the parallel class and was not familiar with them. They didn’t know either, and they were curious.

When Director Zhang saw Director Wang’s expression, he laughed.

Not only Director Wang came to watch these students in class, but Director Zhang also came to watch them.

Although he didn't say it, Director Zhang was also worried about the rumors. It was the student named Song Peifeng from Wuzhong who was indeed too outstanding. These kids were in the age of puberty, and it was normal for them to have some thoughts. He himself had been through that age.

Director Wang couldn't help but touch his round head with gray hair that looked like a halved egg in embarrassment, and laughed along.

If Jiang Xi behaved like this once or twice, he might not be so embarrassed, but he didn't come here once or twice. He came here every day to stare at the students and observe whether they had any signs of premature love, especially Jiang Xi from No. 1 Middle School. Even with so many years and so many students he had seen, no matter how picky he was, he had to say that the girl was pretty.

He touched his round head and smiled, "It's not good to open up, it's not good to open up. If everyone is like her, only focusing on studying, why do we need to do this, watching students nervously every day in class, afraid that they will be affected by other things and affect their studies?" He sighed and said, "They really caught up with the good times, unlike us when we were young?"

Speaking of this, Director Zhang also sighed in his heart, thinking of the ten years he spent in the labor reform farm.

He was in poor health, and the root cause of the disease was also contracted during that time.

Director Wang said: "Now that they have such conditions, if they still don't study hard, they are really ungrateful for what they have. Especially for girls, it is not easy to go to school. They should really seize such opportunities and not waste them."

Boys are okay. As the directors of the school, they have to visit the homes of girls every year because the rural areas below do not allow girls to go to school. Not to mention the female students with poor grades, he has also seen many girls with good grades whose families are unwilling to let them go to school. So if they don't focus on studying when they have such an opportunity to study, but waste the opportunity to do other things, as teachers in the school, they will also feel very sad.

The three years of high school can be said to be an opportunity to change their life, just like a fish leaping through the dragon gate. Once they jump over it, the sky is high and the sea is vast. They can't say they can swim freely, but they can see a different scenery from now on.

Sometimes they are not just teachers in their high school. They are responsible for some things, and sometimes they may change the lives of these students.

They are still young and don't understand, but they understand!

That's why so many students felt that Director Zhang was too strict when they were in school, but after graduation, when they heard that Director Zhang was sick, so many students went to see him, and some of them were not even Director Zhang's students, but they also brought flowers and fruits to visit him in the hospital.

Director Zhang and Director Wang, although they have been competing for their own schools and their own school's performance all their lives, they have the same heart for their students. At this moment, the two of them walked side by side in the lush campus of Wuzhong. The tall sycamore trees on the campus cast shade and spots of light on them. It was rare for the two of them, one tall and one short, to walk together and laugh so quietly and harmoniously.

Song Peifeng looked at Jiang Xi, who disappeared as soon as the class was over every day, and couldn't help but lower his head and laugh. He was originally thinking about whether to avoid suspicion, but now it seems that it is not necessary. Such absurd speculation should not have reached her ears, so she is so calm every day, not aware of the observation of her classmates in Wuzhong, busy every day, completely immersed in her own world.

Jiang Xi wrote this kind of thoughtless article very easily and happily. Inspiration came to her very quickly. She used to write at a speed of 6,000 km/h, but sometimes she could write at a speed of 7,000 km/h when she was excited.

Because she was happy writing, her whole person was full of energy and excitement every day. She walked with a breeze, her eyes were bright, and her eyes and face were full of smiles every day.

Zhang Wenxue and other students who were tortured to death by the competition teachers were very confused and asked Jiang Xi seriously: "Jiang Xi, don't you feel tired every day?"

Jiang Xi responded with confusion in his eyes.

But soon, she realized what he meant, and the smile on her face deepened, "Yes, I don't feel tired." How can you feel tired when doing something you like? Even if you feel tired, it is a happy tiredness.

But when you graduate, you will know why schools are called ivory towers.

Studying is the easiest thing before you enter the society.

Even Director Wang, who saw her smiling face every day, privately said to the teachers of Wuzhong: "Jiang Xi from No. 1 Middle School is really in good spirits. Other students study with pain and pale faces, but she is always smiling whenever you see her."

He sighed sincerely: "This student really loves to study from the bottom of her heart! No wonder her grades are so good."

Not only was Jiang Xi in a good mood, but Director Li Ang's mood was getting better and better.

Originally, he thought that as long as he could maintain the first print run of "Wu Xia" at 700,000 or 800,000, it would be a stable successor to "Wu Xia" after "Da Song". Who knew that in the past few days, major bookstores and newsstands across the country have called to increase the print run, saying that "Wu Xia" is not selling well.

If everyone read "White Snake Xiuxian" at the beginning because of the author, the people who follow "White Snake Xiuxian" now are completely because of "White Snake Xiuxian".

It is now August 1996. In this year, computers have developed rapidly, and more people have been surfing the Internet forums. There have also been more discussions about "White Snake Cultivation", especially the latest issue of the series. Because the fighting in the demon world is brutal, the demon beasts and demon cultivators are always fighting for territory, devouring each other, using the blood and qi in meat to strengthen themselves, fighting until their heads are broken and bloody, and the snake demons in the Snake Valley have also encountered such a crisis. The big demons outside want to devour these small snake demons.

This issue ends here, which makes readers who buy "Martial Arts" every week very anxious, because it is obvious that their protagonist will appear later, and the protagonist will come out to show off and get slapped in the face.

The characters in the book didn't know that the little white snake had swallowed the Emperor's fluid all night. They knew that the little white snake had been cultivating to strengthen itself. Then it was the protagonist's turn to appear and stun everyone. How come it suddenly stopped at the climax... Ah, it was over!

This made the readers anxious. They called the magazine to urge the manuscript and went to the online forum to complain to their like-minded friends.

“Why is the train of thought of Jing Meng so different from others? The protagonists of other martial arts novels, after completing their studies and coming down the mountain, all of them kill everyone. Only this little white snake is different. While others are fighting to the death, only it is huddling!”

“The male protagonists of other novels travel the world with swords, but the protagonist I’m chasing is huddled on a cliff!”

Most male readers will not read novels with female protagonists after knowing that the little white snake will grow up to be the White Snake in the future. But this little white snake, because it is relatively weak, always uses the tactics of an old sinister villain when fighting. It is a typical case of playing the pig to eat the tiger and quietly getting the benefits, without getting in the limelight at all.

This kind of quiet fortune, working hard to cultivate immortality without causing trouble, improving one's cultivation little by little, and then pretending to be a pig to eat a tiger quietly, is like a goose feather, scratching their hearts, the more it scratches, the more it itches, the more they want to read.

Especially now on the market, almost all the male protagonists of martial arts novels are like walking flat-headed brothers, violently beaten huskies, and they will fight if they don't agree.

But the supporting characters in this article by Meng Meng are written like the protagonists in many martial arts novels nowadays, and the little white snake is like the villain in the articles on the market, which makes them feel happy and funny.

Some people may think that such a plot is a bit cliché, but readers are honest. They go to school, study, and work every day, and they are exhausted. They don’t want to read any profound and brain-consuming world masterpieces. They like to read such funny and refreshing articles that can bring them a sense of relaxation and happiness after heavy work and study.

The most direct manifestation of this urging and love is the increase in sales.

The latest two issues of "Wu Xia" are sold out.

Li Ang and others did not expect that after a few issues of "White Snake", the sales will gradually increase, and more and more readers will follow the book.

He did not dare to increase the print run too much, and only increased the first print run to one million, then two hundred thousand, and then to one and a half million. Only then did he realize how much of the readership of the cute novels was made up of students.

Almost all of these new readers were summer students.

The students had nothing to do at home during the holidays, and since their parents would not let them read their long novels, they had no choice but to buy a magazine and read it slowly. They were all readers of "The Great Song" before. When "White Snake" was first serialized, they were still at the end of the semester and all their energy was spent on studying. Now that they were on vacation, they read the ending of "The Great Song" and the follow-up to the last two issues of "The Great Song", "White Snake".

Since the first martial arts detective novel written by Xi Meng was published, there are more and more time-travel novels of the same type. However, everyone still thinks that the first time-travel novel written by Xi Meng, "The Great Song Dynasty", is the best. Now that I am at home during the summer vacation, I am following Xi Meng's new work "White Snake".

At the beginning, everyone read this novel as a prequel to "The Legend of the New White Snake", but as they read, they couldn't help but read. Where is the White Snake in this? The White Snake on TV is ethereal, while the little white snake in the book is a snake in the tunnel.

After reading this article, they could no longer look directly at the White Snake on TV. Moreover, they felt that with the little white snake's prudence, intelligence, and clarity, they really could not imagine that the little white snake, who had achieved success in cultivation in the future, would marry Xu Xian in order to repay her gratitude, and then be suppressed under the Leifeng Pagoda.

The little white snake they saw in "White Snake Cultivation" would probably only sneak to the Leifeng Pagoda and plot to kill Fahai, right?

Thinking of this, they all looked forward to Fahai's appearance, but was quietly tricked by the little white snake.

But the foreshadowing in the previous part seemed to indicate that this little white snake might really repay her gratitude in the future.

So how would it repay its gratitude?

"Just give him money, right?"

"Doesn't he want to open a clinic? Isn't it enough to open a clinic for him?"

"What if he wants to marry Little White Snake?"

"I think with Little White Snake's temper, she might kill him with one blow of her tail!"

Not only the plot of "White Snake" is being discussed, but also the author, Xi Meng, is being discussed.

The first thing to be discussed is, of course, Xi Meng's gender.

Some people say he must be a man, a senior detective, while others say he must be a woman, otherwise why are both works written from a female perspective?

"Yes, I knew it was written by Lao Gongan when her first work came out!"

"Then why does he always write from the perspective of the female protagonist?"

"The Great Song Dynasty was probably written from the perspective of his daughter, and the inspiration for White Snake came from White Snake, right? That's why she is the female protagonist. If it's not the perspective of the female protagonist, can the little white snake still be White Snake when she grows up?"

Whether it's the male party or the female party, they all have evidence and they are arguing fiercely on the Internet.

Then one netizen said, "I don't believe a female author can write White Snake so obscenely! Ximeng must be a man, if Ximeng is not a man, I will eat shit upside down!"

This netizen was too cruel, so a group of netizens on the Internet called the "Martial Arts" magazine to ask whether Ximeng was a man or a woman.

The magazine had already agreed on a unified statement. No matter who asked, they would say, "It's a man, a police officer!"

The female party members who received the reply didn't believe it. The netizen who said he was eating shit while standing upside down also laughed, "I said it was a man, right?"

That frivolous look made many netizens hope that Xi Meng was a girl.

He Qiaosheng was also online and saw this message in the forum. He quietly replied to this netizen, saying that Xi Meng was a girl.

As a result, none of the netizens believed it. They all came out to say, "I called the magazine to ask, and the people there told me personally that it was a man!"

He Qiaosheng, who was the only one who knew this secret, felt that life was really lonely. He told the truth, but people didn't believe it. What could he do?

He wanted to tell all netizens that Ximeng was not only a girl, but also a very pretty and lovely high school girl.

But he still suppressed this idea, and was happy that no one else knew who she was, but he knew this secret.

He felt that it was not so hard for Ximeng not to be friends with him, because he liked her works. Suddenly, he was inspired and took a pen to write down his blessing to Ximeng. So far

, he has written five songs, all of which were inspired by Ximeng. In fact, he is very grateful to Ximeng in his heart.

When he participated in the singing competition, he also brought a guitar and sang the original songs he wrote.

When Jiang Xi was attending intensive training at Wuzhong, Tong Jingang and Jiang Bai were also anxiously waiting for their college admission letters. Especially since the admission score lines of the schools they applied to had come out, and although Tong Jingang had barely passed the line, they could not rest easy as long as they had not received the admission letter.

What made him regretful was that Jiang Bai's score was more than 100 points higher than the admission score of the school he applied for: "You should have listened to my sister and applied to East China University of Science and Technology."

He was not worried about Jiang Bai, because Jiang Bai's score was enough to get into Shanghai University of Science and Technology.

Before they received the admission notice, the teachers of Wuzhong, who had finished the first round of intensive training, had already taken Jiang Xi and his friends to the city by bus.

Their city is a prefecture-level city with a relatively dense population and a relatively developed economy in the future. The city has eight counties and districts, with a total of ten key high schools. In addition to the six districts in the city, there is also a municipal key high school in the remaining two counties in Wucheng where they are located.

Yes, Wucheng's Wuzhong and No.1 Middle School. Although the internal struggles in Wucheng are so fierce, the admission rates of the two schools are not much different, but Wuzhong can steadily suppress No.1 Middle School. It is the well-deserved No.1 in Wucheng in everyone's mind and the first choice of all top students. In addition to the fact that Wuzhong has always been the best in Wucheng in competitions, there is another point, that is, Wucheng Senior High School is not only a key school in Wucheng County, but also a top-ranked city key school in the entire city.

Therefore, every year in the city competition, No.1 Middle School basically goes to the city, runs for a round and then comes back. Only students from Wuzhong can still compete in the city and then represent the city to participate in the provincial competition.

Just like in Wucheng, where students from Wuzhong and No. 1 Middle School participated in the competition, the other seven counties also had students from more than 15 or 16 high schools, with about 10 students from each school. It was not a small number for more than 10 schools. Schools that

were farther away had to stay in the city that night, and return in the evening after the competition the next day.

The location of their competition was the Provincial Normal University Affiliated Middle School. The teachers of Wuzhong and No. 1 Middle School booked a room in a hotel near the Provincial Normal University Affiliated Middle School. There were

five girls in the No. 1 Middle School competition class, two of them were eliminated, and there were three girls left, just enough to live in one room. For the boys, the teacher arranged four people to live in one room.

When they arrived, students from another county also arrived, and they followed their teachers to check in at the front desk of the hotel.

The teachers from these schools were old acquaintances, after all, they brought their students to the competition every year, and they greeted each other when they saw each other.

They mainly greeted the teachers leading the team from Wuzhong: "Hey, Wucheng is still your two schools this year!" He walked up with a smile, handed them cigarettes, and teased the two teachers leading the team from No. 1 Middle School: "Why do you come here every year to accompany us? Can't you just follow your college entrance examination route? You are suppressed by Wuzhong every year, and you have to accompany us every year. It's a shame that your principal Sun is still unwilling to give up."

He also handed a cigarette to teacher Ji Jianwei and said with a smile: "Xiao Ji, why don't you come to our school? You also won the first prize in the province that year. Isn't it a waste of your talent for you to stay in Wucheng No. 1 Middle School?" He smiled and asked the teachers leading the team from Wuzhong: "Xiao Zhou, don't you agree?"
