Zhang Yansheng glanced at her cell phone during breakfast and was a little surprised that Xu Lichen didn't send her a message.
Maybe because they are not in the same class in this life and have not had much contact, Xu Lichen doesn't like her as much as before?
That doesn’t matter. We all have our own lives, and even if we graduated in our previous lives, we all went our separate ways. Just go with the flow.
When Zhang Yansheng met Zhang Zhiyuan face to face during the break at school, he nodded and stepped aside to make way.
Zhang Zhiyuan stopped and asked, "Have you made up all the notes from yesterday?"
Zhang Yansheng said, "I have made up for it. Thanks."
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled and said, "If you have any questions, please ask me."
That won't work. Although it may seem a bit cruel, it is really "for your own good". Zhang Yansheng tried to handle it calmly: "Yeah."
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't notice her coldness.
Zhang Yansheng is usually very cold and doesn't talk much, both to boys and girls.
The girls are not afraid of her and they all love to act coquettishly with her. The more helpless she was, the happier the girls were.
The boys kept some distance from her. But among them, Zhang Yansheng seemed to treat Zhang Zhiyuan differently.
Zhang Yansheng often borrowed notes and questions from Zhang Zhiyuan. But the two of them are separated by not only gender but also several rows of distance between them, and Zhang Zhiyuan’s grades are not the best in the class - some classmates like to find problems with the top three students.
Of course, no one knew that Zhang Zhiyuan would be the future top scorer in the college entrance examination, so seeing Zhang Yansheng's unique attitude towards Zhang Zhiyuan, everyone couldn't help but have some thoughts.
There is no malicious intent in these thoughts, they are more of a desire to watch the fun and stir up trouble, after all, they are at this age.
Zhang Yansheng was fine. A girl who was close to her asked her directly and she denied it outright. She always spoke in a cool and concise manner, so the girls would not be so tactless to ask her questions.
But on the boys' side, many boys often tease Zhang Zhiyuan, and occasionally everyone joins in the fun.
Although Zhang Zhiyuan focused most of his attention on studying, studying is not everything in life after all. At this age when youth is budding, and Zhang Yansheng is such an eye-catching girl, it feels like spring has arrived in the boy's heart.
Zhang Zhiyuan hadn't noticed Zhang Yansheng's coldness at this time. He slowly realized it after more than a week, and it took him several more days to build up his emotions, prepare himself mentally, and make up his mind.
In this way, half a month passed and Christmas arrived.
This foreign festival, which has become a shopping festival, carnival and virginity-breaking festival in China... has nothing to do with students attending public schools. Especially since Christmas Eve and Christmas Day this year are both working days, it has even less to do with them.
The more fashionable teachers will also say "Merry Christmas". The conservative teacher directly criticized: "What kind of birthday is this? What does foreign religion have to do with us? There is only one saint in our country, and his birthday is the 27th day of the eighth month in the lunar calendar!"
However, on Christmas Day, the head teacher still gave everyone a Christmas tree-shaped lollipop and said with a smile, "Let you have some sweetness first. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, everyone's favorite monthly exam will begin again."
Damn it, who likes monthly exams!
The students protested in unison while holding their lollipops in their mouths.
It took two days to complete the main and minor subjects, and the results ranking was released two days later.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Lichen, who had been silent for a long time, appeared behind the subway station again.
"I have two things to tell you." He crossed his arms and said, "First, Wang Qian has transferred to another school."
Zhang Yansheng was stunned for several seconds after hearing this news. He subconsciously asked, "Why did she transfer to another school? When did she transfer? Why did she transfer?"
In her previous life, she and Xu Lichen were both expelled from school, but Wang Qian stayed there safely. How come everything in my life is turned upside down? She didn't do anything special to Wang Qian.
Xu Lichen was also a little surprised. The point he wanted to make was not Wang Qian, but he just mentioned it in passing. He didn't expect Zhang Yansheng to care so much about Wang Qian.
He raised his eyebrows and said with a bit of gloating, "She was ostracized by the girls in our class, the same ones who followed her and wanted to teach you a lesson."
It's really a changing world. It has always been Wang Qian who led others to exclude others, but she never expected that one day she would end up in this situation herself.
The small group joined forces to sell out Wang Qian for their own benefit. As soon as the punishment came out, Wang Qian understood.
The not-so-solid alliance that was not formed out of friendship in the first place collapsed.
After doing such a thing, those people were not broad-minded and kind-hearted people, and they did not believe that Wang Qian would be magnanimous and forgive them. Since this has come to this, we can only push Wang Qian to the opposite side.
These people joined forces to isolate and exclude Wang Qian.
Wang Qian is pretty, and if only the girls were ostracizing her, she wouldn't have to transfer schools. But there is also Xu Lichen on the boys' side.
Xu Lichen had already established his status in Class 8 as a gangster boss. He took the initiative to step on Wang Qian, and Wang Qian really couldn't stay in this class anymore.
No. 1 Middle School divides classes according to academic performance, and there is no possibility of transferring Wang Qian's class based on her academic performance. She finally cried to her family and asked them to transfer her to another school.
Her parents even came to the school and had an argument with the dean, implying that their daughter was the victim, and that the previous punishment was also a frame-up by other girls and that she had to take the blame.
The dean of studies was so angry that his blood pressure rose.
This happened on Christmas Day. Wang Qian left without taking the monthly exam.
Zhang Yansheng did not expect such a reversal in his life. Everyone's life trajectory has shifted to varying degrees. It seems that the direct cause of Wang Qian's incident was the exclusion from a small group and Xu Lichen's instigation, but upon closer examination, the fundamental reason is still the variable Zhang Yansheng.
Because Zhang Yansheng had changed, this change was like a kind of energy radiating outward from her, affecting others in varying degrees.
Xu Lichen couldn't tell Zhang Yansheng's attitude from her expression. She seemed a little confused about Wang Qian's matter? So what? Wang Qian is not related to her.
"Hey!" He called her and asked with a smile, "What's the matter? Are you still reluctant to leave Wang Qian?"
Zhang Yansheng came back to his senses, ignored his teasing, and asked directly: "You just said first, what about second?"
It would have been fine if she didn't ask, but when she did, Xu Lichen's tail was so excited.
He smiled very proudly, threw the roll of paper in his hand away, picked up Zhang Yansheng's hand, and put it in her hand: "Look!"
It was a photocopy of the transcript, with the grade ranking attached. It was a partial photocopy, with the main column for Xu Lichen printed on it.
Zhang Yansheng: “e…”
Xu Lichen was proud: "Do you understand?"
Zhang Yansheng raised his head and said, "I said I don't talk to people who are ranked in the bottom 100 of the grade, including the 100th place in the brackets."
"I knew you didn't understand." Xu Lichen was even more proud. "Look at my ranking. Counting backwards, it's 101st!"
It turns out that he added her as a friend but never sent her a message. Is he holding a grudge here?
You know what, this is really Xu Lichen's character.
The two of them actually have a lot in common. They are both not stupid, but they both like to dwell on trivial matters, and they are also second-year students...
Zhang Yansheng had no expression on his face: "You calculated wrong."
Xu Lichen was stunned for a moment: "What? Impossible!"
"When you counted the last, you used the total number of students in the previous grade." Zhang Yansheng was even more expressionless, "But Wang Qian transferred to another school on Christmas Day. She didn't even take the monthly exam, and you forgot to subtract her. So, you are the last in the whole grade... exactly one hundred."
Zhang Yansheng said as he slapped the piece of paper on Xu Lichen's chest: "Keep up the good work." Then he walked away.
Xu Lichen covered the piece of paper with his hand, his whole body dazed.
He unfolded the copy paper and did some mental calculations again... Isn't that right? If one person is subtracted, he will go from the 101st from the bottom to the 100th from the bottom.
“……”Xu Lichen crumpled the copy paper into a ball.
It's so frustrating!
The car stopped at a traffic light about 100 meters away from the subway station. Xiao Zhou looked in the rearview mirror several times and finally couldn't help asking, "Ms. Yanyan, what makes you so happy today?"
He saw that Zhang Yansheng had been smiling since he got in the car.
Zhang Yansheng tried to hold it in several times, but failed. She finally covered her forehead with her hands and laughed until she was shaking: "Nothing, just a stupid guy..."
She smiled, bit her lip, and said nothing more.
Xiao Zhou thought, it seemed that he had never seen her smile like this since he was hired by the Zhang family?
Zhang Zhiyuan finally made up his mind the next day and called out to Zhang Yansheng after school.
Zhang Yansheng was a little surprised. Since she started to keep a distance from Zhang Zhiyuan, they haven't spoken to each other for quite a few days.
"What's the matter?" she asked.
Zhang Zhiyuan pursed his lips nervously and said, "Um...why haven't you come to me to ask questions recently?"
Zhang Yansheng thought, was this really too deliberate? Did anyone notice it?
"Recently I've been asking about Gao Xiaoxiao. She sits right in front of me." Zhang Yansheng said, "You're so far away from me."
Zhang Zhiyuan knew clearly that this was a lie. Because Gao Xiaoxiao had always been sitting in front of Zhang Yansheng, but Zhang Yansheng had always come to him specifically to discuss questions.
So why did Zhang Yansheng lie about this matter?
The boy was no longer nervous, he lowered his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then said, "Did you hear your classmates joking?"
Zhang Yansheng asked curiously, "What a joke."
Zhang Zhiyuan said: "It's a joke between you and me."
Zhang Yansheng understood. These were the things boys said when they were bored. In fact, they didn't dare to joke in front of Zhang Yansheng, but she couldn't help but hear some of the boys' laughter and noise.
She shrugged: "We are just joking, there is no harm, don't worry about it."
She thought for a moment and then said, "If you don't like it, I'll go talk to them."
If she didn't care about the jokes, then why?
Zhang Zhiyuan finally asked: "Then why did you..."
At this age, it is still a little difficult to adapt to such direct questioning. Zhang Zhiyuan licked his lips nervously, paused for a moment, and then finished his words: "...Why are you distancing yourself from me? Did I do something to displease you?"
The boy's eyes were clear and clean, without any scheming or hostility, and as bright as spring water.
Being looked at by such eyes seemed to purify me.
At this moment, Zhang Yansheng felt envious.
This is how a person should live when he is fifteen years old.
