Chapter 5 Sweet and Sour Pork
Not long after they started chatting, the homeroom teacher, Ms. Lin, came in. She was a middle-aged female teacher who gave a brief self-introduction and then began to explain the upcoming arrangements.
Today we'll receive our books and have a brief introduction. Military training will officially begin tomorrow. It's worth noting that students will be required to live on campus during the training period.
Unlike other high schools, Nan'an Middle School does not squeeze every last bit of value and energy from its students. There are no evening self-study sessions for first and second-year students, and they do not necessarily have to live on campus. Local students basically use their dormitories as a place to take a nap during lunch break.
Upon hearing this, the whole class groaned in despair, complaining that they couldn't go home. Most of the students here were from wealthy families, and the school's accommodations were far inferior to those at home.
Even Guan Xiang, who is usually optimistic and cheerful, said that fate was against her.
"Quiet down for a moment, we'll just stick to this for a week. Everyone, quickly introduce yourselves." The homeroom teacher patted the lectern.
Following the seating order, Gu Zhaodi introduced herself second to last. After listening to several classmates' self-introductions, she realized that the students at this school had many special skills and hobbies.
After listening to everyone's opinions, I saw Ji Hao, the famous campus heartthrob. He was well-spoken, had a smiling face, and was extremely gentle. He certainly lived up to the title of campus heartthrob.
"Dan Si didn't come today?" Guan Xiang frowned and looked around, muttering to herself.
Gu Zhaodi was taken aback when she heard this.
Dan Si? This is the second time I've heard this name today.
Just then, a group of people entered through the door. The boy in the lead was wearing a black T-shirt and cargo pants, with a black baseball cap pulled down tightly over his head, obscuring his expression. The earrings on his ears sparkled in the sunlight, and he exuded a lazy and carefree aura.
The two men behind him were dressed like thugs, but they were wearing expensive thug clothes.
"Damn it, you're late on the first day of school." Teacher Lin spoke to him in a declarative tone, her meaning unclear.
"Oh, it's Old Lin. What are you doing in high school?" he said casually.
But it was obvious that Lao Lin didn't want to talk to him and told him to quickly find a seat.
There happened to be two empty seats behind Gu Zhaodi, so Dan Si and his henchman sat down.
As soon as Guan Xiangyi sat down, she turned to him and asked, "Were you dragged here by your uncle today?"
Her words clearly carried a sense of schadenfreude.
Dan Si's lazy expression froze instantly. He unconsciously swallowed and said stiffly, "How could that be? I came by myself."
"Hehe, do you think I believe that?" Guan Xiang had a look on her face that said, "You can fool me."
Dan Si remained silent, but the boy sitting next to him spoke up: "Sister Guan, you really are a prophet! Brother Dan was brought to school by Uncle Dan."
He had barely finished speaking when Dan Si glanced at him sideways and said coldly, "Yao Xin, are you asking for a beating?"
Yao Xin gave an embarrassed smile and immediately admitted his mistake.
This speed is incredible! Gu Zhaodi was stunned. Could it really be like this?
However, through their conversation, the girl only felt that Dan Si's uncle was very impressive and must be a serious and upright middle-aged man.
At this moment, Yao Xin noticed Gu Zhaodi's presence and asked Guan Xiang, "Sister Guan, who is this pretty young lady?"
"This is my new friend, Gu Zhaodi. From now on, she's mine, so don't you dare bully her," Guan Xiang said with a hint of threat, waving her fist.
"Alright, Guan Jie's friends are our friends, how could we bully them?" Yao Xin said in a sycophantic manner.
"Hello, my name is Yao Xin. If you need help with a fight in the future, just ask me." Yao Xin looked at the girl with a smile.
The girl pursed her lips, then smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Gu Zhaodi."
Her lack of fear of Yao Xin's words was a kind of kindness, wasn't it?
Yao Xin's eyes lit up. Wow, this pretty girl has a really nice smile, and her clear voice is so sweet it could make your ears pregnant.
After a brief introduction, it was Gu Zhaodi's turn to introduce herself.
"Hello everyone, my name is Gu Zhaodi." The girl stood up and introduced herself calmly.
As soon as she finished speaking, rustling sounds arose around her. The girl showed no embarrassment; instead, she sat down with a smile.
But only she knows what she's really thinking.
Before Guan Xiang could even begin her self-introduction, the students' discussions grew louder and louder.
"All of you, shut the hell up."
This sentence did not come from Lao Lin, but from Dan Si sitting in the back.
Although his voice was calm and not very intimidating, the discussion immediately stopped, perhaps out of instinctive fear of the school bully. Some of the bolder people even glanced back at Dan Si.
The girl quietly thanked him.
After Guan Xiang finished introducing herself, it was Dan Si's turn.
He simply lifted his eyelids and said coolly, "What? Do I need to introduce you?"
Everyone: Haha, no, no, who doesn't know you?
......
"Is anyone home? Open the door." A gruff female voice came from the dormitory entrance.
Li Mu hurriedly opened the door, and Gu Zhaodi and Guan Xiang, who were tidying up their dormitory, couldn't help but turn around to see who their other roommate was.
As soon as the new roommate walked in, she grumbled, "What a lousy school! There isn't even an elevator on the third floor. I'm dying of climbing up here."
As soon as she looked up, Gu Zhaodi noticed that the exquisite and beautiful girl at the door had stopped and was staring intently at Guan Xiang. "How unlucky I am to be assigned to the same dormitory room as you."
Guan Xiang put her hands on her hips and retorted disdainfully, "Likewise, Deng Xixue, weren't you quite so arrogant? You're also coming to live on campus? Isn't that a waste of your time?"
"You..." Deng Xixue stopped abruptly, and said in a slightly weaker tone, "Hmph, I won't bother with you."
Seeing the tense situation between the two, Gu Zhaodi was worried about Guan Xiang's mood, because she was clutching her schoolbag tightly and had a gloomy expression.
"Are you alright?" Gu Zhaodi asked Guan Xiang, who was sitting next to her.
Hearing the girl's concerned question, Guan Xiang came back to her senses. "It's nothing. She's just a mad dog that likes to bite. I won't bother with someone like her."
"Come on, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch." Guan Xiang pulled Gu Zhaodi to get up and head to the cafeteria. It was noon, and they were a little hungry after tidying up all morning.
Only later did she learn that Guan Xiang and Deng Xixue had a romantic entanglement.
As everyone knows, Deng Xixue likes Ji Hao, the school heartthrob. Back in the first year of junior high, because Guan Xiang said something to Ji Hao, Deng Xixue spread rumors about Guan Xiang everywhere and repeatedly caused trouble for Guan Xiang.
This led to a huge argument between her and Deng Xixue, which escalated into a physical fight.
The story ended with both of them receiving disciplinary action. However, Deng Xixue was so badly frightened by Guan Xiang after that fight that she only dared to verbally vent her frustrations, but didn't dare to do anything behind his back.
Seeing that Gu Zhaodi and Guan Xiang were about to go out for dinner, Li Mu eagerly came over, wanting to go with them.
The two of them had no objections, since they were roommates.
"Zhao Zhao, eat this, it's delicious." Guan Xiang placed the sweet and sour pork from her plate onto Gu Zhao Di's plate.
Guan Xiang felt a pang of heartache looking at the thin girl in front of her. She ate such a vegetarian diet and so little; she was truly a pitiful little thing.
This is a huge misunderstanding. It's not that Gu Zhaodi deliberately tried to save money, which is why she didn't eat well.
Instead, they haven't been eating very well and very little, so their stomachs can't handle greasy food, and naturally their appetites are small.
Gu Zhaodi looked at the sweet and sour pork in front of her, her eyes welling up with tears. In her memory, this seemed to be the first person to serve her food.
After thinking about his stomach, he decided not to waste Guan Xiang's good intentions and ate it.
The sweet and sour taste is just like her complicated feelings right now.
Watching her eat, Guan Xiang started picking up more food, gradually transferring all the sweet and sour pork from her plate to Gu Zhaodi's plate.
"That's enough, that's enough, I can't eat this much." Looking at the ever-increasing amount of food on her plate, the girl was finding it hard to keep up.
If you keep pinching like that, you'll waste too much.
Guan Xiang expressed deep doubt, noting that besides the sweet and sour pork she had given her, there was only a simple stir-fried lotus root dish on the plate.
This must be a bird's stomach.
Seeing the girl's sincere eyes, Guan Xiang had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​continuing to feed her.
