Chapter 4 Love Letters Most Popular Male God
Lu Chen is in Class 1, Grade 1.
Because, as soon as the speech ended and Lu Chen stepped down from the stage, a young male teacher who looked like the head teacher of Class 1 ran up to greet him from the side of the class queue.
Amidst the chaotic noise from the audience.
Someone yelled at the top of his lungs, "Road God!!!"
Soon, this new name spread like thunder through the loudspeakers around the playground. Vice Principal Liu shouted the word "Quiet!!" with his voice almost breaking in the background.
Amidst cheers of “God of the Road” and “God of the Road”.
The male teacher, with an awkward expression, looking at the stage, wanting to praise but not daring to, and having a hard time suppressing the corners of his mouth, protected Lu Chen and walked to the end of the first class...
The freshman representative gave a speech, and just like that, Lu Chen became a "god" in one battle.
The opening ceremony ended abruptly and the group returning to class was in chaos.
Xin Jing was in a hurry to go to the toilet. Yan Ning moved a chair for two people, left the crowd, and slowly walked to an open space under the shade of a tree.
Along the way, Yan Ning heard that everyone was talking about the "God of Roads".
Everyone was talking about his incredibly handsome face, his excellent writing style, and the calmness and composure with which he spoke without a script...
There is more to it, what he said at the end, "the speech was forced to be lost", the possible hidden story behind these few words, and the attitude he demonstrated when revealing this truth, such as being rebellious, fearless of power, and extremely handsome...
In front of the teaching building, the sycamore trees block out the sun, and a cool breeze blows under the huge shadows of the trees.
The human voices drowned out the chirping of birds and the buzzing of cicadas.
Yan Ning looked at the ground and the dancing spots of light through the branches, and the expression of Lu Chen when he stepped down just now emerged in his mind.
I always feel...
This person is more like just stating the facts casually.
Then, she belatedly remembered what he had said in a low voice in the corridor this morning -
"See you at school."
She didn't expect it either.
See you again so soon.
-
After school early in the afternoon.
Yan Ning and Xin Jing went shopping in the commercial street first. Since they had hardly seen each other during the entire third year of junior high school, the two sisters had a lot to talk about and they accidentally forgot the time.
Finally, I hurried to the bookstore on Fuqing Road and bought the tutorial books on the list.
As the sun sets, the orange afterglow covers the sky.
After getting off the bus, at the intersection, Yan Ning and Xin Jing waved goodbye reluctantly, "See you tomorrow!" "Yes! See you tomorrow!"
Xin Jing was a boarding student and was going back to school, while Yan Ning was walking towards the other side, towards the Huize community where he rented a house.
To the gate of the community.
Yan Ning happened to meet an elderly couple who were dragging suitcases out. She reached out and helped block the sensor door that was about to close. Then, she received a lot of thanks and compliments from the old lady with a beautiful silk scarf tied around her neck.
Entered the community.
It was already late anyway, so Yan Ning was no longer in a hurry. She carried the "Lexue Bookstore" paper bag in her hand and walked slowly towards home.
The paper bag was heavy, containing four newly bought thick tutorial books, a notebook with a dark green leather cover, and some stationery.
In the evening, the community was filled with the smell of fireworks.
In the central activity square, a few small, radish-like children were chasing each other and playing. In the corridor, elderly people enjoying the cool air sat on stone benches, fans in hand, chatting. A fluffy white puppy, like a doll, waited quietly and obediently nearby.
As soon as the little white dog noticed Yan Ning's gaze, its tail immediately wagged like a propeller, looking extremely happy.
Yan Ning couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
I stared into those lovely, bright black eyes for a long while.
At the corner.
Yan Ning waved his hand and looked away reluctantly.
Then, a turn.
Yan Ning's footsteps suddenly stopped.
The corner of the paper bag held at her side hit her calf lightly.
Yan Ning felt a slight pain, but his gaze remained fixed on the tall figure in the blue and white school uniform not far ahead.
That person...
Could it be that...
Although she had already moved to Huize for a year, there were still many students living here, like Yan Ning, who attended the two nearby schools on a daily basis. Every day when she went to and from school, she would always run into some of them, both boys and girls.
However, Yan Ning is not an extrovert who is good at chatting and making friends.
She kept a respectful distance from the schoolmates she met on the road, as she should have with strangers. In other words, she never had any contact with anyone.
The only exception happened this morning.
Unconsciously.
Yan Ning stopped where he was.
The afterglow lengthens people’s shadows.
Against the light, Yan Ning squinted her eyes, trying seriously to distinguish whether the boy walking in front of her was the one who had left such a deep impression on her after only meeting him twice.
Lu Chen.
After watching for five or six seconds, Yan Ning finally came to a conclusion in his mind.
Should be, no.
The ends of my hair are too long.
The body shape doesn't seem to be similar either.
Sure enough, the next second, the boy walking in front changed direction before reaching the building where Yan Ning lived.
When the person turned sideways, a face that Yan Ning was not familiar with was revealed.
Yan Ning finally let out a sigh and walked forward slowly.
at the same time.
She felt a slightly sticky touch on the palm of her right hand, which made her realize that in just a short while, a thin layer of sweat had formed on the palm of her hand holding the paper bag.
Yan Ning pursed her lips and shifted the bag to her left hand.
The weather is too hot.
She thought to herself.
-
When Yan Ning arrived home, Yan Xiangrong was already there. He was sitting on the sofa, working on his computer on his lap.
Yan Xiangrong, an engineer at the Institute of Materials, was very busy with work and often traveled on business. There was a family compound next to the Institute, and until Yan Ning was in the third year of junior high school, the three of them lived there together.
After renting Huize's house, Yan Xiangrong stayed alone in the staff quarters because it was too far from the Institute of Materials. Only Lin Xinci, who ran her own clothing store, came to accompany Yan Ning to study and take care of her life.
Hearing the movement at the door, Yan Xiangrong looked up and saw Yan Ning, a smile appeared on his face, "Ningning is back."
Yan Ning agreed.
Lin Xinci also poked her head out of the kitchen, frowning slightly as she asked, "Why are you back so late? Have you bought all those first-grade prep books on your list?"
Yan Ning nodded: "I bought it."
Lin Xinci was finally satisfied and urged, "Hurry up and clean up, dinner will be ready soon."
Yan Ning responded with a "OK".
There was some silence at the dinner table.
Yan Xiangrong handed Yan Ning a peeled steamed shrimp and spoke gently, "Ningning, how do you feel about the start of school today? Are the teachers and classmates at No. 1 Middle School all right? Is there anything new?"
What's new——
Yan Ning lowered her eyes. The ending point of her father's series of questions made her suddenly recall the unique opening ceremony that she had never experienced before.
And there was the person who stirred up such a commotion with just one sentence.
but.
These cannot be said.
Saying it will probably only lead to criticism and disapproval.
The chopsticks pushed the shrimp meat around in the dipping sauce dish. After careful consideration, Yan Ning replied:
"It's pretty good. The teachers and classmates are all nice. One new thing is that I'm the math class representative."
The porcelain spoon collided with the rim of the bowl, making a crisp sound.
"Didn't I tell you not to take on these useless positions? In school, studying is the most important thing. Go and quit this class representative position tomorrow!"
Lin Xinci put down the soup bowl and immediately spoke words of reproach.
Yan Ning certainly expected Lin Xinci to have such an attitude.
But the thing is, this is actually the case——
Before school was over today, the homeroom teacher Jiang Caijun said that because the students didn't know each other well yet, class committee members and class representatives would be elected next week. He designated several people to temporarily take over the class committee positions, and the class representatives would be represented by the students with the highest individual scores in each subject in the high school entrance examination.
Yan Ning's math score in the high school entrance examination was the only full score in Class 2, so he naturally became the math class representative.
After listening to Yan Ning's description of the situation, Lin Xinci's expression eased a little.
Yan Xiangrong added another peeled shrimp to Yan Ning's bowl and stepped in to smooth things over. "Then let Ningning take over first. After a few days, we can switch to someone else."
Lin Xinci reluctantly said, "Okay."
The dinner table returned to silence.
The shrimp meat, which had been soaked in the dipping sauce for a while, was finally picked up by Yan Ning with chopsticks and put into his mouth.
Slowly, chew, and swallow.
She always felt that the steamed shrimps she used to love to eat didn't seem to be that delicious now.
-
the next day.
School classes resume as normal and high school life officially begins.
For Class 1 and 2 of Senior High School, the first class in the morning is Chinese.
The Chinese teacher’s surname is Jiang. He is in his forties or fifties and has a very gentle temperament.
Because it was the first class, Teacher Jiang did not give a lecture. After a brief self-introduction, she began to tell some anecdotes and stories.
Time flies.
With three minutes left before the end of the class, Teacher Jiang turned around and wrote on the blackboard while sitting on the podium.
Xin Jing secretly turned her head and touched Yan Ning's arm. After attracting Yan Ning's attention, she used her eyes to gesture in a direction outside the window.
Yan Ning understood and nodded.
It means—
After class, I'm going to the next class to see Lu Chen.
Yan Ning has always been the type who accepts reality quickly.
But Xin Jing is not like that.
Especially yesterday, when Lu Chen failed to be assigned to Class 2 despite a 50% chance, Xin Jing's regrets were like a torrent of water...
After some consolation, Yan Ning also agreed to accompany Xin Jing today:
"Go next door more often!" "Look at the God of Roads more often!" "It's a bit of a comfort to the pain of winning the lottery jackpot only to have it snatched away by the neighbor next door!!"
The bell rang.
Xin Jing's eyes were bright, and she was ready to sprint, ready to pull Yan Ning away at any time.
But, on the podium.
Teacher Jiang was only halfway through another anecdote when she looked around kindly and slowly said, "Well, I'll take a few minutes of your time..."
Four or five minutes later.
Teacher Jiang walked out of the door of Class 2 with his lecture notes and met Jiang Caijun who was preparing to teach the second class. The two greeted each other.
As Jiang Caijun entered the classroom, he smiled and said, "Wow, our class is quite complete."
Xin Jing leaned over the table, feeling deflated.
Yan Ning closed the pen cap and patted her back soothingly. "Are you still going to class one now?"
Xin Jing shook her head wearily. "Next class. We've just started school, and we haven't figured out our teacher's style yet. I don't know if he'll care about this kind of 'star chasing' thing..."
Unfortunately, I couldn’t go after the second get out of class.
It’s not that the two of them didn’t take action, but——
It’s too late.
Xin Jing lives on campus. Last night, she moved to a new dormitory with new classmates. After avoiding the teacher who checked the dormitories, everyone chatted so happily that they went to bed too late. In the morning, Xin Jing was too sleepy and had no appetite, so she didn't eat breakfast. So, halfway through the second chemistry class, her stomach was rumbling with hunger.
There is no need for physical exercises for the time being. There is a 30-minute break between the second and third classes.
So, after class, Yan Ning accompanied Xin Jing to the supermarket downstairs and bought a box of breakfast milk and bread to fill her stomach.
Then the two of them went upstairs and just as they turned a corner, they arrived at the corridor.
Xin Jing excitedly removed the straw and drank the milk without waiting for her to "realize the plan of satisfying both taste and vision."
I was dumbfounded——
A few meters away, I saw a back door.
There was a huge crowd of people, both boys and girls, like layers of honeycomb, surrounding the place completely.
Everyone stretched their necks, looked excited, and talked excitedly with the people next to them in low voices, looking into the classroom.
And heard.
Lu Chen's seat is at the innermost window seat in the last row of Class 1.
A real large-scale star-chasing scene.
Moreover, everyone was quite polite, and no one shouted the real person's name or disturbed him.
Although Yan Ning also heard Xin Jing mention that many people said in the forum yesterday that they would go to see Lu Shen after class, it was obvious that the two of them did not correctly estimate how many people there would be.
Yan Ning came back to her senses first. She turned her head and continued to comfort her friend, "How about we go early after next class?"
Xin Jing's eyes were filled with tears, and she could only nod indignantly, "Okay!!!"
But what’s even more regrettable is that there is no next class.
Yan Ning and Xin Jing returned to Class 2.
There was still a long time before the third class started, so Yan Ning took out his notebook and began to organize the knowledge points from the previous chemistry class.
Xin Jing, who was standing aside, was biting her breakfast milk straw listlessly, looking out the window in the direction of Class 1 with a resentful look.
The peaceful days didn't last long.
Sudden--
A male voice shouted from outside:
"King Hawkeye is coming! Everyone run!"
Her thoughts were interrupted by a shout. Yan Ning paused, her black marker leaving a black dot on the notebook. As she lifted her pen, she also looked out the window.
Then I saw the crowd at the back door scatter like birds and beasts.
Then, the dean shouted sternly from the other end of the corridor, "Stop right there!"
Of course no one actually stood.
In just a few seconds, the dark crowd in the corridor disappeared in an instant, leaving only the lush sycamore trees and the blue sky, as well as Director Wang who was running over breathlessly but didn't catch anyone.
In the classroom.
Yan Ning and Xin Jing looked at each other at the same time.
Xin Jing let go of the straw she had been biting for a long time and sighed sincerely:
“It’s a good thing we didn’t go…”
Yan Ning nodded and added:
"Otherwise, running would be quite tiring."
The follow-up to this incident was that at noon that day, a notice in large, bold, black font appeared on the notice board under the Grade 1 teaching building:
[No visiting other classes!!! No loitering outside other classes' corridors!!!]
Of course, everyone understands that what is specifically referred to here is - the kind that cannot go to Class 1.
From that day on, Director Wang would regularly come to Class 1 during recess in order to catch those who were defying the law.
The corridor outside Class 1 has been quiet since then.
Xin Jing mourned for two days. However, Yan Ning wasn't too worried.
Sure enough, after the morning self-study get out of class on the third day, Yan Ning had just opened the physics book to preview the new lesson when suddenly a cell phone appeared on the book, showing a photo of a boy playing basketball.
Xin Jing came over and tried to lower her voice, "Senior Xu Lu from the second year of high school, isn't he super handsome!"
She clenched her fist as if she were fully revived:
"Never mind that it's hard to meet the God of Roads, I heard Senior Xu often goes to the Third Canteen to eat. I'm planning to stay there for the time being. I wonder if we'll have a romantic encounter like accidentally bumping into each other while waiting in line, or if all the tables are gone and we end up sharing a table across from each other..."
Yan Ning's gaze lingered on the photo for a moment.
The boy’s face is actually hard to see clearly, but the youthful energy he displays when he dribbles past the opponent is indeed very contagious.
Yan Ning turned around, clenched his fist, and said seriously:
"Xinxin, I wish you success."
From that day on, the frequency of Xin Jing mentioning the title of Road God gradually decreased.
However, Yan Ning's impression of this person gradually deepened.
because--
Lu Chen.
These two words have become a daily must-mention for teachers.
The teaching pace in key classes is relatively fast, and the regular classroom tests are also quite difficult.
Class 1 and Class 2 share the same teaching system. After almost every quiz, you can hear teachers from various subjects praising Lu Chen:
"Don't tell me the questions are too difficult. How come Lu Chen from Class 1 still got full marks this time?"
"On the last question, Lu Chen was the only one in both classes who got it right."
…
Under the podium, Yan Ning heard the familiar name and unconsciously circled the physics problem that only he could solve several times with a pencil.
And God really opens doors and windows for his favorites.
Lu Chen is not only an amazing student, but also a killer in sports.
That day, Yan Ning and Xin Jing met Shi Caimeng in the corridor who had just finished physical education class.
Shi Caimeng described with sparkling eyes how, in that physical education class, those strong boys in Class 1, who had been eager to win back a game with basketball, were completely defeated by Lu Chen, calling him "Brother Lu" and "Brother Lu" affectionately...
However, the name is often heard, but the person is rarely seen.
Except for once or twice, when Lu Chen passed by Class 2, Xin Jing happened to see him, patted Yan Ning beside her, and pointed out the window, "Look, Lu Shen!"
Yan Ning turned around and saw a tall young man walking by leisurely with one hand in his trouser pocket. He was surprised.
In Huize Community, Yan Ning never saw Lu Chen again.
At the same time, I heard that Lu Chen is also a day student, so it should be certain that -
He doesn't live in Huize at all.
We met in the corridor on the first day of school.
It was just an accident of unknown cause.
After a few more days, high school life gradually got back on track.
Yan Ning only goes between school and home every day. Apart from studying, he forgets most of the unimportant people and things.
For Yan Ning, the name "Lu Chen" was gradually simplified and withdrawn, becoming just a goal to pursue in his study plan.
Until another morning self-study session.
Because it had rained heavily the night before, the temperature in Wancheng dropped sharply this morning, and it was already feeling the chill of autumn.
Yan Ning was wearing her long-sleeved school uniform when she left home. As she entered the classroom, the temperature suddenly soared several degrees higher than outside, making her forehead feel dizzy.
When she looked up, she saw Xin Jing sitting in her seat, waving at her excitedly, with an expression that said, "I have something urgent to tell you."
Yan Ning quickened his pace and walked over, just reaching the aisle.
Xin Jing couldn't wait to grab her arm, lowered her voice, and began to speak:
"Ningning, do you know! Someone confessed to Lu Shen last night!!!"
Yan Ning was stunned.
In her mind, she was thinking about the argumentative essay on the topic of "courage" in the tutorial book she read last night. When she stopped, she heard her friend continue excitedly:
"I don't know how those sisters managed to evade the eyes of King Hawkeye and deliver that love letter to the desk of the God of Roads.
But it's no wonder. On the forum's 'Most Popular Male God' list, Lu Shen took first place by a landslide. So many people covet him. If it weren't for Hawkeye King guarding his desk, his desk would have been flooded with love letters long ago!"
"But the most amazing thing is Lu Shen's reaction. He actually said..."
"It's early in the morning, please be alert!"
The Chinese teacher happened to come in at this time, and Xin Jing's hasty words were interrupted, so she could only swallow them back temporarily.
The seats of Class 2 were officially reshuffled before the meeting. Yan Ning and Xin Jing still sat at the same table, at the innermost part of the first row, with Xin Jing sitting on the outside and Yan Ning by the window.
The two of them were right under the teacher's nose, so there was no way they could slack off openly.
Yan Ning walked in through the gap and sat down.
Teacher Jiang assigned morning reading tasks at the podium.
Yan Ning took out his Chinese textbook. In his still somewhat fuzzy mind, he couldn't help but think of the composition, and then thought of -
Confession.
Send a love letter.
Can express what you like.
That's very courageous.
