Chapter 79: Fingertips pressed against the back of her hand.
"Tongtong, here's your freshly ground red date and soy milk."
On the third floor of the cafeteria, Xia Hui placed a small cup of soy milk onto Ge Sitong's plate and sat down.
He picked up a sesame ball from the plastic plate with his chopsticks, but put it down before even taking a bite, letting out a long sigh.
“Yesterday I was lying on my big 1.8-meter bed, sleeping until I woke up naturally. When I opened my eyes, there was a big meal that my dad had carefully prepared. I ate all kinds of chicken, duck, fish, goose and shrimp.”
"Today I'm stuck at school again, eating the same food I'm already tired of."
Deng Yi took a sip of mung bean porridge, looking equally listless. "Who says otherwise? I had a blast traveling and even had two sets of photos taken. The photographer I hired took some really good pictures. I'll send them to you guys later."
Ge Sitong: "I took classes outside for a few days, and it felt okay."
She pushed up her glasses. "There's no need to sigh like this. Look at Miaomiao, she's quite happy to be back at school."
Shi Miao was suddenly called out. She looked up blankly, still holding a fried dumpling in her hand.
Compared to others suffering from post-holiday syndrome, she did have an excessively relaxed sense of joy.
My steps were light as I walked to the cafeteria.
She can even secretly smile while taking a sip of soy milk, revealing her soft, chubby cheeks.
Xia Hui looked at her resentfully: "Miaomiao, did you find money on your way to school?"
Otherwise, how could someone be so relaxed and carefree after just finishing a long holiday and facing the torment of monthly exams?
Shi Miao slowly stuffed the fried dumpling into her mouth, her round cat-like eyes blinking innocently. "No."
Deng Yi: "You didn't go out to play during the holiday, but studied hard at home. Are you very confident about the monthly exam?"
Shi Miao also shook her head: "I went to Jiangcheng for fun."
"Then why are you so relaxed? Do you love going to school?"
Before Shi Miao could answer, Zou Yuanyuan, who was carrying a tray, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she heard this.
Zou Yuanyuan took leave from the competition class and will spend the next three days in Class 1 reviewing for the monthly exam.
She was used to arriving early to study, and with English listening practice playing in her headphones, she was so engrossed that when she opened the door and saw the two hands clasped together, she froze on the spot, not having time to leave.
"After all, it's the first exam since I transferred here."
Zou Yuanyuan smiled mischievously, "Our Miaomiao has an amazing enthusiasm for studying. She came here early this morning and has been studying diligently ever since."
Xia Hui and Deng Yi immediately gave Shi Miao a thumbs up and expressed their envy that she was able to get into study mode. They had worked hard on their morning reading, their minds still immersed in the holiday.
Shi Miao: "..."
Even the shameless, arrogant little cat's ears were getting a bit hot right now.
What kind of learning is this?
Shi Miao let go of Jiang Yingxu's hand, slumped back onto the table, and spent the entire morning reading session staring at her hands.
His fingers opened and closed, still recalling the feel of the touch.
Jiang Yingxu had long, slender fingers, and his palms and fingertips had hard, rough calluses. The first sensation when you touched them was that they were warm, followed by a feeling of hardness and strength.
When Zou Yuanyuan saw her and she pulled away, the boy unconsciously hooked his fingertips around her hand and pressed them against the back of her hand, as if reluctant to let her stay.
However, it was soon relaxed again.
He has quite a bit of strength in his hands.
Too.
After all, it can easily pin down a frantic kitten and prevent it from running away.
The conversation at the table quickly shifted from tomorrow's exam to the dramatic drop in temperature expected in the coming days.
Today it will be 30 degrees Celsius, tomorrow 25, the day after tomorrow 18, and the day after that 13.
Of course, it will heat up slightly after a while.
As always, Ningcheng skipped spring and autumn in terms of temperature and went straight into winter.
Apart from Shi Miao, Xia Hui and the others are all boarding students, and they brought thick blankets and warm clothes with them when they returned to school this time.
"The sudden drop in temperature followed by a rise in temperature in Ningcheng is more exciting than my exam ranking."
"It's that time of year again when we're all jumbled up in terms of clothing: short sleeves, long sleeves, fleece-lined jackets, and down jackets."
After finishing the last sip of her sweet soy milk, Shi Miao slightly curled her lips.
It's going to get colder.
The clothes I bought for my cat are about to prove their worth!
With a secret sense of pride, Shi Miao walked briskly back to the teaching building from the cafeteria, not feeling tired at all while climbing the stairs.
Xia Hui walked up to the fourth floor and rubbed her legs. "Oh no, I've been lying at home for several days, and my legs can't climb four floors anymore."
Ge Sitong: "I have to climb six floors to get back to the dormitory."
Xia Hui: "Stop talking, or I'll just lie down here and sleep."
The little girls walked hand in hand toward the classroom door of Class One.
Xia Hui stepped into the classroom first, still saying, "Yuan Yuan, I solemnly invite you to sleep in the teaching building with me... I'll go!"
She gasped and abruptly stopped in her tracks.
Deng Yi asked repeatedly what was wrong, peeked out from behind her, and then exclaimed, "Holy crap!"
They seemed to have seen something difficult to understand.
Shi Miao was a little curious, so she pulled Zou Yuanyuan forward two steps and squeezed into the classroom doorway, her gaze falling on the classroom.
That spot near the back door, neatly arranged, and always kept separate.
During breakfast time, an extra desk and chair appeared next to us.
There is a storage room on the first floor of the teaching building specifically for storing desks and chairs. No matter whose desk or chair is broken or old, they can just take it down and pick out a good one to replace it, which is very convenient.
If they're left piled up in the classroom for a long time, they're bound to get covered in a thick layer of dust.
The newly moved-in table and chairs were wiped clean, even the corners that were most prone to accumulating dust were spotless.
Jiang Yingxu was not in his seat.
Xia Hui asked in shock, "What happened? Did Lao Niu have someone move it, or did Jiang Yingxu do it himself?"
Deng Yi: "It can't be Lao Niu."
“Oh God, I’ve been in the same class as Jiang Yingxu since the first year of high school. Once we were divided into arts and sciences, and once we were divided into the vanguard and the striving class. We changed classes twice in three years, but the only thing that has never changed is that Jiang Yingxu has never had a deskmate.”
"Is he trying to get more tables to put his things on, or is he trying to give people more seats?"
Shi Miao blinked and suddenly felt a light tap on her side.
He turned his head and met Zou Yuanyuan's almond-shaped eyes, which were filled with a satisfied smile.
"Miaomiao, why did Jiang Yingxu suddenly move the table? Who is he planning to give it to?"
Zou Yuanyuan covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's so hard to guess!"
