Lin Ziyang only realized that the fireworks weren't something Wu Fangyi wanted to play with, but rather something Wu Fangyi wanted to buy for Shen Qingqing, when Wu Fangyi brought out the fifth type of sparkler and asked if she wanted to play with it.
After realizing what had happened, Lin Ziyang was utterly helpless and could only laugh it off.
Unfortunately, Shen Qingqing was currently engrossed in the dazzling array of fireworks, otherwise she would have realized that her current situation was like what some short videos on Douyin (TikTok) in later years described: the first child raised by her best friend and her best friend's husband.
By the time all the fireworks were set off, it was almost 11:30 p.m.
Shen Qingqing's family has already called twice to urge her to come back.
Walking from the end of the procession, Lin Ziyang chatted about a gossip about a transfer student at their school before the holiday.
The story goes that the transfer student had already won over one of the top three students in the grade and made her his girlfriend within a week of arriving. However, during the exam, the girl and her friends saw him talking very closely with another girl and even holding hands.
It turns out that the well-behaved girl was the daughter of the school board member. Without her saying anything, you can imagine what would happen to the transfer student.
Shen Qingqing found the gossip strangely familiar and asked the transfer student's name.
Then I heard the name of the person who triggered the complete breakdown between Fang Airu and Chen Siping.
Shen Qingqing was speechless for a moment.
The person who was so embarrassed by her in the school square was like a reborn after changing schools?
Or perhaps their true colors will be revealed even more?
If Chen Siping hadn't been so determined and hadn't meant it that way, and if Yao Run hadn't always been there to protect her, would Chen Siping have completely become the kind of person Fang Airu imagined, and would she have been stuck with that accusation for the rest of her life?
"A leopard can't change its spots." Wu Fangyi heard that name and immediately made that conclusion.
Lin Ziyang raised an eyebrow. "What? You know him?"
Shen Qingqing quickly told Lin Ziyang what this person had done in Jinzhong.
Lin Ziyang suddenly realized: "No wonder when I asked him how he transferred from Jinzhong, he hesitated and wouldn't say, making up some family reasons and some personal reasons."
"However, since he offended the top three students in our grade, he can't transfer schools now. He'll have to stay at our school for the next three years unless he voluntarily drops out."
Shen Qingqing asked curiously, "Are the top three students in your grade so united?"
Lin Ziyang had learned a little: "Aren't you two the top two in the city? The top three, four, and five are these three. They said they've been friends since childhood and don't like being second to anyone, so they collectively chose our school."
"Wow, a pair of academic superstar besties!" Shen Qingqing understood.
Lin Ziyang chuckled, neither confirming nor denying.
When Lin Ziyang was taking them home, he looked at Wu Fangyi and asked, "Which home are you taking tonight?"
“My parents’ house,” Wu Fangyi said simply.
Shen Qingqing's little head popped up again: "What do you mean? Sister Fangyi, you're not going back to your aunt's house?"
Wu Fangyi nodded nonchalantly: "Yes, after I started high school, I paid for everything myself. My aunt couldn't get the money from my parents, so she told me to go back to live with my parents."
That simple sentence left Shen Qingqing feeling both powerless and furious.
Wu Fangyi saw Shen Qingqing's expression, raised her hand and patted her head. "Although my parents are biased towards my sister and brother, they are not too bad to me. They have new clothes in my room and whatever I want to eat or drink. They just don't care about me as much as they care about my sister and brother. They treat me as a guest, and I treat them as my host family. There is no big problem."
The term "homestay" came to them when they were in English class. One of the English texts mentioned some interesting stories about the author studying abroad and his homestay. At that time, the teacher explained to them what it meant for international students to be paired with homestay families.
Lin Ziyang now knew what Wu Fangyi's family situation was like. Hearing Wu Fangyi say this, besides feeling sorry for her, several other more complicated emotions welled up in his heart. He didn't know what to say, so he could only change the subject: "Then why don't you come home with me after school this weekend?"
Wu Fangyi turned to look at him in confusion.
Lin Ziyang touched his nose and coughed lightly: "Your parents' house is not far from mine. The 447 bus will pass by our school first, and then go to Jinzhong. We can take the bus back."
Wu Fangyi nodded: "Okay, I'll let you know when I'm not going to Qingqing's house, and we'll go back together."
Lin Ziyang was stunned for a moment: "?"
Shen Qingqing popped up again with a grin: "Because Sister Fangyi sometimes stays at my house, just for a weekend~"
Lin Ziyang took a deep breath, smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll be waiting for your news!"
After the start of the school year, Wu Fangyi and Lin Ziyang actually took the same bus back home a few times.
However, most of them were led astray by Shen Qingqing, because their studies had progressed to the second year of high school. Both of them decided to study science. In her previous life, Shen Qingqing suffered greatly from studying humanities, so in this life, her scores in both humanities and sciences were relatively even. Therefore, after asking Wu Fangyi for her opinion, she resolutely followed Wu Fangyi and studied science.
Yes, that's right. At that time, the system of separating arts and sciences was still in place, and the 3+1+x model had not yet been implemented.
Moreover, if Shen Qingqing takes the college entrance examination in her second year of high school, she will be participating in the first national exam, and 2015 was the first year that Guangdong Province began to use the national exam.
Shen Qingqing's previous life was at the level of the National College Entrance Examination (NCEE), so the first NCEE was not a problem for her.
Therefore, during the learning process, Shen Qingqing intentionally or unintentionally helped Wu Fangyi to learn some questions of national exam difficulty.
