Chapter 100: Fallen Leaves Never Return
Time flies.
Woolen Textile Middle School... No, all high school students across the country should feel this way.
Immersed in high-intensity study every day, with a face covered in grease or chalk dust, when you look up in the bustle, you will find that the number representing the countdown somewhere in the classroom has lost one day.
Even a few days.
In the classroom of Class 8 of Grade 3, the number of students decreased again, and five more students no longer came to school. They either chose to make the final sprint at home, or chose to start the longest summer vacation of their lives early.
As summer approaches, the trees outside the window become greener, more lush and leafy.
However, the "big tree" covered with sticky notes on the blackboard at the back has already lost a lot of "leaves" due to the passage of time and the hot weather.
It is hard to tell who wrote the "wish" in the first place. When no one noticed it, it had lost its stickiness and fell down.
Some were picked up reluctantly and re-pasted, while some had to be swept into the bin as garbage because their owners were not around.
But the small piece of paper at the top, right next to the "College Entrance Examination Countdown", seemed to be stronger than any leaf and had been stuck there all the time.
Zhai Da has eliminated all distractions in the past few days and even stopped wasting time looking for equipment, planning every day in an orderly manner.
I got up at six o'clock, brushed my teeth and washed my face with Lu Wei, and then did some math problems to wake my brain.
After breakfast, I went to school playing poker as my only entertainment.
In the morning, he lent the [Literary Girl's Pen] to Lu Siwen to cheat, and in the afternoon he took it back to check and fill in the gaps, and in the evening he gave it to Lu Wei to strengthen his memory.
In the evening, I used the tactic of doing a lot of exercises. While I was focusing on math, I also tutored Lu Wei in Chinese and English.
People say that fulfilling days are the most unforgettable...but Zhai Da feels that days that are too fulfilling are easier to forget.
Sometimes I get distracted and can’t even count how many days have passed.
It was as if there was a "time thief" who took advantage of no one's attention and went into the classroom to steal the numbers on the wall.
On the only day in between, Sunday, Zhai Da finally had time to steal, and he chose to take a break.
I chose to put down my pen and let myself go, and made an appointment with a guy I hadn't seen for a long time.
...
At the door of a dessert shop on Jianshe Road, Zhai Da saw Wu Yue, who had not been seen for a long time, from afar.
There are big changes compared to before. Before, he had that ostentatious style of wearing a leather jacket and sunglasses, but this time he feels much more low-key.
An ordinary T-shirt and jeans.
From a distance, before Zhai Da could even open his mouth, Wu Yue asked, as if to claim credit: "Let me guess, are you here to talk to me about Lu Benqing?"
Zhai Da was stunned: "You can guess this?"
Wu Yue chuckled and said, "I delivered it myself, and I was counting the days."
Zhai Da nodded and said seriously, "The college entrance examination is only a week away. I want to deal with this hidden bomb. You've been paying attention to it... Do you know where he is now?"
"Yes, in the detention center."
"Huh? Not released yet?"
“Yes, he went in again.
”
Zhai Da opened his mouth...
You only get out to bask in the sun for one day every two weeks, right?!
"You sent it in?"
Wu Yue kept the secret a secret and pulled Zhai Da into the store. "It's a rare opportunity for you to see me, so just chat and have a drink. It's my treat."
Zhai Da could only suppress his curiosity for the time being and ordered a smoothie that he remembered as delicious here.
When he was in junior high school, his school was nearby, and he would occasionally eat smoothies at this restaurant. At that time, it was a pure luxury. Four or five classmates would share a plate and each of them would use a small spoon to scoop out the smoothies.
Then Zhai Da watched the shop assistant grind the ice cubes into powder and then add flavoring, saccharin and pigments...
It's green.
Zhai Da suddenly lost his appetite. Why did he like eating this kind of food back then?
The smoothie was placed on the table as a decoration. Zhai Da quickly asked, "Tell me, why did you send Lu Benqing back? Was he stupid enough to fall for it twice?"
Wu Yue stretched out a finger and waved it: "I'm not stupid enough to be fooled twice. People like this are addicted to shit. Of course, I still have some skills."
As if he had already prepared a story to show off, Wu Yue snapped his fingers and threw a beer bottle cap to Zhai Da.
Zhai Da took a look and saw that it was a very common "Tsingtao Beer" lid with "Thank you for your patronage" written on the inside.
Wu Yue said, "This one didn't have a prize, but I went to a few stores and picked up one with a prize. I won 666 yuan. They will take the cap to the manufacturer for reimbursement. I got one for 700 yuan. It's a genuine winning bottle cap."
Zhai Da's eyes widened: "So..."
"So? This time, the gambler who just got out didn't pick up a wallet, but he picked up a beer bottle cap. I don't need to tell you what happened next, right?"
"Then how do you know where he passed by?"
"Didn't I tell you? I'm counting the days. I'm going to wait in the detention center for a while before resurrecting."
Zhai Da was silent for a moment, and there should be applause here!
“Snap” “Snap” “Snap”!
"You're awesome! Bro, you're awesome!"
Wu Yue touched his nose. For boys to say "You're awesome" sincerely to each other was the highest compliment.
Lu Benqing was swept away wherever he went. Apart from the fact that Wu Yue got an extra bonus and Dongyang got less unhealthy, his reputation would probably be ruined in the future.
Including the first time Zhai Da reported it, it has happened three times. Maybe some people have come to their senses.
Maybe this will solve his problem forever...
In either way.
Zhai Da and Wu Yue had indeed not seen each other for a long time. Although the matter of Lu Benqing had been resolved, they did not separate immediately. Although they said they disliked each other, their hands were very honest. Each of them used a small spoon to scoop out the smoothie.
It seems like there are endless topics to talk about.
Changes in the school, classmates’ situations, and whether both families are doing well.
For example, Zhai Da and Lin Shuyao became deskmates, and Wu Yue's cousin is now the royal henchman.
But when Wu Yue said that he had opened up a new business some time ago and sent a wanted person in,
Zhai Da was still worried about this kid Meng Lang.
"You...you're doing something so risky?"
"I just happened to run into him. He wasn't some tough fella, he seemed to be involved in a pyramid scheme. I didn't even meet him. I followed him to his hotel, and the police showed up after a phone call... I stole 2,000 yuan for nothing."
Zhai Da pointed his smoothie spoon at Wu Yue and said seriously, "What if we run into someone with anti-reconnaissance capabilities someday? Reporting pornography and gambling is fine, but do you really think you're a 'superhero'?"
Wu Yue scratched his head. "It's not that easy to run into a wanted person...it's pure luck. But you're right. I'm learning about reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance in this system."
Zhai Da: Is that what I mean?
Looking at Wu Yue's appearance, he had to admit that this guy had changed a lot. While he was exploring the ocean of knowledge at school, Wu Yue might have grown even more outside.
But it still makes people feel uneasy.
"I'm planning to do something during the summer vacation. Can you take a two-month break and help me?"
"What is it?"
"I have several options, but nothing has been decided yet. Anyway, I want to start some business. Of course, don't expect too much. I'm not that good at opening a factory or doing foreign trade yet."
"Okay, even if you want to sell starch sausage, I'll set up a stall with you."
Wu Yue had no objection. After all, several prostitution and gambling dens in Dongyang County had been shut down... He had received nearly 30,000 yuan in prize money, and there was still some money left.
It’s nice to do something with good brothers, even if it’s a “high school student entrepreneurship” that is destined to fail.
After all, after this summer vacation...Zhai Da will go to college...
Wu Yue took out a red envelope and handed it to Zhai Da: "The reward for reporting Lu Benqing for the second time hasn't been paid out yet, but the first three thousand was agreed to be split half each. I added a little to make it even."
Zhai Da didn't take it. He glanced at it and said, "Why? I said no, and didn't you put 700 on the beer bottle cap? What's the point of adding a little instead of taking a little off?"
Wu Yue shook his head. "Let's put it this way. Consider this a red envelope for getting into a good university. I saw in the group chat that you're currently ranked number one in the school."
Zhai Da glanced at Wu Yue and thought he was just imitating the behavior of an "adult". High school students wouldn't do that to each other.
But in the end, he accepted this generous red envelope.
"Keep it with me first, and ask me for it when you need it."
Wu Yue chuckled: "Me? I haven't received several bonuses yet!"
"You're definitely not going to take the college entrance exam, right?"
"No, it's a waste of time."
"The school has a graduation ceremony on Tuesday, the day after tomorrow, which is also a pep rally. Would you like to come and take a look?"
"Even more so, isn't this a waste of time?"
"I will go on stage and give a speech as a representative of outstanding students."
"Then I have to go and see you show off your power!"
Zhai Da scolded him with a smile, "Can you still find your school uniform? Don't let them treat you as a member of society and not let you in!"
Wu Yue laughed heartily: "Then I'll just climb over the wall and take a look!"
