Chapter 8
The first week of school was spent in the sun by everyone.
Before everyone was introduced to each other, the instructor pulled them directly from the classroom to the playground for military training.
During the military training, Lin Jiu always ate with Zheng Ying, and occasionally the five people in the dormitory would eat together.
Apart from the people in the dormitory, Lin Jiu only knew a few more eye-catching people in the class.
The word "know" is not accurate, it should be said that you know the name.
This was all thanks to Tang Yue, who started a night chat when she returned to the dormitory on the first day of military training.
The main force of the night chat is still Tang Yue, Zhou Qing and Zhou Kexin, while Lin Jiu and Zheng Ying are just yes-men.
After all, the main characters in the topic, Zhuo Ling, Wen Min and Ji Xin, are from Jingshan, and Meng Qinyang is from Changhe. This can only rely on Tang Yue and the others. Lin Jiu and Zheng Ying really can't provide any information and can only listen silently.
Jingshan Middle School and Changhe Middle School, one is the first public school in Qingshan District, and the other is the first private school.
Tang Yue graduated from Jingshan, while Zhou Qing and Zhou Kexin both graduated from Changhe. After a brief chat between the three of them, Lin Jiu was able to match their names with their faces.
Lin Jiu had met Zhuo Ling, Wen Min, and Ji Xin on the first day of school. As for Meng Qinyang, he was one of the only two handsome guys in the class, so he knew what he looked like by the process of elimination.
There is a lot of information in the dormitory night chats, but it is all superficial.
Zhuo Ling, Wen Min, and Ji Xin were classmates in junior high school. Wen Min and Ji Xin were neighbors and had a good relationship. It was rumored that Zhuo Ling had a crush on Ji Xin, which is why she and Wen Min had always been at odds and their relationship was terrible.
Zhuo Ling is beautiful, has a good figure, good temperament, and comes from a wealthy family. She is known as a "white, rich and beautiful" person. She started dancing Latin dance in elementary school and always took the center position in the cultural performances. She was the kind of person that everyone in Jingshan Middle School knew.
Wen Min is a bright and beautiful woman who always turns heads. She comes from a well-off family, and both her parents are teachers in Jingshan.
Ji Xin, handsome and a top student among top students, always ranked first in his grade at Jingshan. He was aloof and aloof, and basically ignored others.
Two beautiful women and a handsome man—this triangle relationship is something everyone wants to know about. Although Tang Yue is from another class, she has always been secretly following them. Now, she happened to be assigned to the same class, so she was the first to watch.
As for Meng Qinyang, he's far less gossipy than the other three. He's simply been discussed for his good looks and good grades. According to Zhou Qing and Zhou Kexin, he's quite high-profile and enjoys the spotlight. His father is the vice president of a municipal hospital, his mother's background is unknown, and his family is relatively well-off.
After listening to the whole night chat, Lin Jiu’s biggest feeling was that it was indeed a good school with many outstanding people and a lot of gossip.
Like her junior high school, Gaoping Town Middle School, there are many beautiful girls, but few with good grades. As for handsome guys, they are basically extinct. It can be called a gossip desert where not even a blade of grass can grow.
Just like that, listening to gossip and chatting, the military training passed quickly.
After the military training, Yuan Hui organized a self-introduction session in the classroom, under the pretext of getting to know each other.
However, everyone was very humble at the beginning and no one took the initiative to go on stage, which made the scene awkward for a while.
Yuan Hui looked at the situation and said with a smile, "Why, none of you want to show off?"
Stepping down from the podium, he looked around and suddenly said, "This year, the top student in the city's high school entrance exam is in our class—"
He even deliberately stretched out his voice to make people feel itchy.
First place in the senior high school entrance examination.
These words were like a bomb dropped into calm water, causing thousands of splashes.
There was a lot of discussion below the podium.
Lin Jiu's first reaction was Ji Xin. After all, the Ji Xin described by Tang Yue was so amazing, hardworking and talented, and had won many awards.
She thought about it again. She felt that being the top scorer in the city's high school entrance exam was a bit risky. After all, there are always people better than you. What if there were some incredible people in Qingtian District?
Yuan Hui coughed lightly, and the discussions stopped, and the audience fell silent.
He didn't keep the secret any longer and revealed the secret directly, "Ji Xin, the first place in the high school entrance examination, you come up and take the lead."
"It's really him. He really brings honor to our Jingshan." Tang Yue behind him exclaimed in admiration.
Lin Jiu turned his head sideways to look at the back row. Ji Xin walked up to the podium calmly and confidently under the sight of everyone.
She couldn't help but sigh that even though the handsome guy had become a little darker during the military training, his looks were still as good as ever, and with the aura of a top student, he was a pleasure to watch.
Ji Xin is just as the legend says, quiet and aloof.
He picked up a piece of chalk, turned his back to the crowd, and wrote his name. The characters were as straight as cedar, as if they were engraved on a blackboard.
Then he turned around and uttered two words concisely: "Ji Xin." Then he walked down from the podium.
Yuan Hui was not dissatisfied with this brief introduction. Instead, he led the applause the moment Ji Xin left the podium.
For a moment, all the girls in the class applauded.
Most of the boys just pretended to applaud, as being too perfect on the same side of the sex always makes people uncomfortable.
Among them, Meng Qinyang was the most prosperous.
He watched coldly from below and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
He was very unhappy. He originally wanted to whet everyone's appetite by making a high-profile appearance when no one was willing to go on stage. However, just as he was about to go on stage, he was stopped by Yuan Hui's sudden shout.
As a result, Ji Xin stole the limelight.
As early as when he was in Changhe, he had heard the name "Ji Xin" from a girl.
At that time, a few girls would compare him with Ji Xin. The funny thing was, they all thought Ji Xin was better.
We weren't in the same school before, and just being compared to each other was enough to make me feel sick.
It’s so unlucky to be in the same class with him in high school!
He stood up suddenly, brushed past Ji Xin, and walked straight to the podium, interrupting Yuan Hui's words "Who's next?" as he was about to say them.
After Meng Qinyang came to power, he behaved very arrogantly and wrote his name directly on the head of "Ji Xin", as if he wanted to step on it.
Despite this, he didn't seem to have calmed down. He said impatiently, "My name is Meng Qinyang. I graduated from Changhe University. I can do a little street dance and I like to play basketball. That's all."
After saying that, he looked at Ji Xin provocatively, and found that Ji Xin didn't even lift his eyelids, which made him even angrier.
Lin Jiu's first impression of Meng Qinyang was that he was a tsundere young man. While he looked incredibly handsome, his almond-shaped eyes always gave him a sidelong glance, giving him a rather tsundere look.
Now, he is more like a kitten whose fur may explode at any moment. He looks fierce, but lacks the attack power.
Lin Jiu smiled. She was very satisfied to be assigned to this class.
Following Meng Qinyang, many other people went up, including Zhuo Ling and Wen Min.
Beautiful women always cause a great sensation.
Not only girls like to watch it, boys like it even more.
During the military training, everyone was peeking secretly, but once they were on stage, they looked openly.
However, the two had already been very popular in junior high school and had long been immune to these gazes. They left after a brief introduction.
As for Lin Jiu, she had never been a proactive person, and was one of those who passively followed the order to go on stage. When it was her turn, she went up.
After a round of self-introductions, Lin Jiu had a preliminary understanding of everyone in the class.
Although I don’t remember all their names, I at least know that they are from my class when I see them on the street.
Lin Jiu witnessed the entire class leader election process but did not participate.
The class monitor is Tang Yue. She has a good personality and can chat with anyone, so everyone is willing to vote for her.
The deputy monitor is Lei Yi, a tall and somewhat strong sunny boy who seems to have a cheerful personality and is easy to get along with.
Except for the class monitor who was elected, the others were appointed by the head teacher.
For example, Ji Xin became the study committee member without doing anything, and of course, no one would question it.
To Lin Jiu's surprise, Meng Qinyang didn't even run for the position. When he was appointed as the sports committee member, he was speechless and didn't look happy.
With class leaders, the class began to have cohesion and high school life began to get on track.
That afternoon, Yuan Hui took a seating chart and rearranged the seats.
Lin Jiu and Zheng Ying separated, their seats far apart.
Lin Jiu's seat was in the third row, next to the corridor window, and every time he went out, he had to ask his deskmate to give up his seat.
Gradually, she took root in her seat and sat there obediently unless she needed to get water or go to the toilet.
Her deskmate was Wang Jingyi, a day student from Jingshan Middle School. She didn't seem to be working hard, but every time Lin Jiu asked her a physics question, she could answer it easily.
Since she doesn't like any gossip and usually listens to music with her eyes closed after class, Lin Jiu rarely chats with her.
Although her deskmate didn't like gossip, Tang Yue still had a lot to share. Lin Jiu had Tang Yue behind him, and thanks to her, Lin Jiu's after-school life hadn't been boring.
On this day, Tang Yue came back in a hurry and sat down on a stool. Before he could catch his breath, he called together the people around him and said that he had just learned an incredible piece of news.
Big news?
Hearing this, Lin Jiu became interested. He leaned back and listened attentively.
Seeing that everyone was ready, Tang Yue didn't keep them in suspense.
"Originally..." She lowered her voice, "Meng Qinyang wasn't in our class."
Everyone: “Huh?”
Seeing everyone's confused expressions, Tang Yue directly explained the whole story.
When we first started dividing classes, the assignments were made randomly by computers.
The class teachers of each class will definitely be the first to know the class division list.
Mr. Lin, the head teacher of the next class, saw that his son was not in his class, so he thought of switching places with Yuan Hui.
When Yuan Hui heard this, he was of course unwilling to do so. The main reason was that Teacher Lin's son was too ambitious and had excellent grades.
If the change took place, Yuan Hui's class would lose a promising student who could enter a key university.
In order to get his son to come to his class, Teacher Lin directly replaced him with Meng Qinyang, the best student in the class.
At that time, Yuan Hui was still a little hesitant. He took out his mobile phone and made a call. After hanging up the phone, he agreed to change.
After Tang Yue finished speaking, she picked up the water cup and drank a sip to moisten her throat. "That's how it is. Thank goodness we changed it then, otherwise our class would have lost a handsome guy."
Lin Jiu's first reaction after hearing this was: Where did this news come from? It's so detailed and so convincing.
Before I could even ask, someone asked first: "Where did you hear that? You know the whole process in such detail?!"
After hearing this, Tang Yue raised an eyebrow, "Everyone says so, the news has spread everywhere."
Lin Jiu understood that the news Tang Yue had received had already been passed around numerous times. As for how the news had spread, it had become an unsolved mystery, impossible to determine.
Lin Jiu felt that this news was very true. After all, when he listened to it as a whole, it did make sense.
In fact, the shift change issue is not a big deal, and even the discussion about it is limited.
At first glance, you might think it has something to do with you, but in reality, apart from the person involved, it has no impact on anyone else in the class.
However, this melon has brought some troubles to Lin Jiu.
She really wanted to know who the call was made to! Also, what was Meng Qinyang's attitude towards this matter?
Just as I was thinking this, someone suddenly asked, "Do you think Meng Qinyang knows about this?"
Tang Yue smirked and said with uncanny certainty, "What we all know, he, the person involved, definitely knows."
In fact, Meng Qinyang himself did know, and he knew it much earlier than them.
He knew it from his father.
He still remembers that day was Saturday.
After coming home late for several days, Ji Yang finally got off work on time and wanted to check on his son.
So he asked, "How's school been lately?"
Meng Qinyang sneered, "It's just so-so. There's someone in the class who's quite annoying. I find him annoying to look at."
Ji Yang followed up by asking, "Who is it?"
Meng Qinyang reclined on the sofa, changing into a comfortable position to watch TV. "Ji Xin, you wouldn't recognize me even if I told you."
"......." Ji Yang knew Ji Xin and had met his father some time ago. And...
"I know him. Just before school started, your homeroom teacher, Mr. Yuan, called me and mentioned Ji Xin. He said Ji Xin has excellent academic performance."
"Why did Teacher Yuan call you?"
Meng Qinyang sat up straight and stared at Ji Yang, as if waiting for an explanation.
"Oh, it seems like they want to change your shift and ask if I agree."
"Shift? What shift?"
"The head teacher of the class next door wants to swap classes with his son with you."
"So, I'm stuck in this class now?" Meng Qinyang scoffed. "Also, why did Teacher Yuan ask for your opinion?"
Ji Yang touched his chin and said, "Maybe it's because I helped his mother with the surgery last time, so it's not easy to switch you around."
Ji Yang was already a vice president, and he didn't usually perform surgery easily. Yuan Hui's mother's condition was a bit complicated, so he asked him for help. He agreed, and the operation was a success.
"Why did you agree to this?!"
Meng Qinyang stood up suddenly and suddenly learned about the relationship between Yuan Hui and his father. He realized that his father could easily refuse.
"Given my relationship with your homeroom teacher, don't you think it would be better for you to be in his class?"
"......." Meng Qinyang originally thought that he had occupied the commanding heights and was very arrogant, but suddenly a basin of water put out his arrogance, leaving only a little fire in the fire.
Pursing his lips, he said, "Then you should also tell me..."
"I'll definitely remember this next time. I've been so busy lately that I forgot. How about buying you whatever you want?"
Ji Yang looked at his son and knew his personality too well. He could be easily satisfied with a little coaxing.
Sure enough, Meng Qinyang's face turned from cloudy to bright. "I've found a phone I like and I'm going to buy it tomorrow."
He wasn't one to stick to his guns. Anyway, the shift had already been changed, so there was no point in getting angry. He could only manage to gain some benefits.
When he woke up the next day, he saw the mobile phone on the bedside.
Originally, he just let this matter go.
Unexpectedly, the news of the shift swap spread throughout the entire class. They were being shuffled around like an item. Where would he put his dignity?!
Even when he was playing basketball, Lei Yi and this group of guys couldn't understand his expression at all and kept asking questions, which made him lose the mood to play basketball.
How annoying!
Looking at the faces of these people, he decided to replace them immediately after Chen Miao arrived.
Think of Chen Miao.
Meng Qinyang closed his eyes, suppressed the anger rising in his heart, and cursed him inwardly -
Damn Chen Miao, why hasn’t he come yet!
