Chapter 18
Tao Xi was in a trance and excited for the whole weekend, and he was not even jealous of Yang Duole anymore.
Even if Yang Duole took the position that should have belonged to him, he would prove that even if he had nothing, he would be better than Yang Duole.
He wants to own the moon, so what are the other stars around the moon?
Tao Xi went to look into it more carefully. He found out that he could buy a good smartphone for a thousand yuan now, but he had to keep most of his monthly living expenses for Tao Le's medical treatment and medicine, so he had to earn some extra money.
He thought about it all night, but still couldn't figure out a way to make money.
The next day, Monday, Tao Xi came to the classroom early as usual. In the past, he looked forward to seeing Lin Qinhe every morning, but today something was suddenly different.
He wanted to see Lin Qinhe even more, but at the same time he was a little afraid to do so, as if he was afraid that his thoughts would be discovered.
Tao Xi stared at Lin Qinhe's empty seat for a while, then picked up his cup and went to the water room to get some water. When he passed the podium, Huang Qing, who was trying to write on the blackboard with a piece of chalk, called him.
Huang Qing looked up and measured Tao Xi's height with her eyes blankly, and asked, "Can you help me write this sentence on the blackboard?"
Huang Qing is the study committee member of the class. Zhou Qiang suddenly had an idea to ask her to write a motto encouraging study on the edge of the blackboard every Monday. She was not tall and was about to move a stool. When she saw Tao Xi passing by, she asked him for help.
Tao Xi was stunned, and his first reaction was the self-review he had given to Lin Qinhe.
But then he thought, Huang Qing was an upright and good person, who had spoken for him before, and was only focused on studying and would not have any other thoughts like Jiang Xinyu. Besides, he could finish writing these words quickly.
Tao Xi nodded to Huang Qing and said, "Okay."
He took the paper Huang Qing handed to him, on which were the aphorisms carefully selected by Zhou Qiang. Then he took out a piece of white chalk from the chalk box, walked to the right side of the blackboard, stood on tiptoe slightly, raised his hand and began to write on the blackboard.
As soon as he wrote the first stroke, he noticed someone coming in from the door. He turned his head while writing and saw that it was Lin Qinhe, walking in against the sunlight outside the door, with a pair of long and straight legs.
At that moment, Tao Xi seemed to hear his own violent heartbeat, and the world in front of him was covered with a layer of shining silver light. He stared blankly at Lin Qinhe walking up to the podium, and suddenly remembered what Qiao Yitang told him, that when he sees the person he likes every morning, he should say good morning to him with a smile.
He was just about to say good morning to Lin Qinhe with a smile, when his right hand holding the chalk was suddenly wrapped by another hand. Then the hand took the chalk from between his fingers and asked him in a deep voice at a very close distance:
"What?"
Tao Xi's eyelashes trembled, still a little dazed, he just felt that Lin Qinhe was too close to him, standing closely behind him, he could even feel Lin Qinhe's breath brushing against his right ear.
Huang Qing was about to speak when Lin Qinhe gave her a cold look. She was sensitive to Lin Qinhe's hostility towards her and subconsciously shut up.
Tao Xi reacted belatedly. His mind was in a mess and he forgot what he was going to write. He lowered his head hastily, but Lin Qinhe had already raised his left hand and took the paper from his hand from his side, as if half hugging him.
Lin Qinhe began to write on the blackboard according to the contents on the paper. Tao Xi stood there not daring to move. He clenched his right hand that had just been wrapped by Lin Qinhe, and even his breathing was very light.
He turned his head slightly and saw Lin Qinhe's tall nose, which was outlined with a light golden halo by the morning light outside the door, like a snow-capped peak at sunrise.
It turned out that Lin Qinhe was so much taller than him, so tall that if he wanted to kiss Lin Qinhe, he had to stand on tiptoe. He had the illusion that he was completely wrapped by Lin Qinhe.
This illusion made his ears hotter and hotter, and his heartbeat became uncontrollable. He could only force himself to look at what Lin Qinhe had written.
The first rule Zhou Qiang gave was: "Proficiency comes from diligence, while laziness leads to failure. Success comes from thinking, while carelessness leads to failure."
There were only fourteen words, but Tao Xi felt that Lin Qinhe took a long time to write it, and yet it seemed as if he wrote it very quickly.
After Lin Qinhe finished writing, he put his hand down, did not respond to Huang Qing's thank you, threw away the chalk and walked directly to the last row. Tao Xi came to his senses and hurriedly followed Lin Qinhe to the back.
He was obviously very happy, his eyes sparkled, but he wanted to ask: "It's not like I can't write, why are you writing for me?"
Lin Qinhe had already walked to his seat and sat down. He threw the empty water cup on Tao Xi's table and said, "It seems you are standing on tiptoe and it's hard work."
Tao Xi was stunned and suddenly felt that he was being despised.
He picked up Lin Qinhe's water cup, looked at Lin Qinhe with wide eyes and said angrily: "I will grow taller!"
In fact, he is not short at all, it’s just that Lin Qinhe is too tall.
"Really?" Lin Qinhe asked nonchalantly.
"Of course!"
Tao Xi turned around to fetch some water, feeling that Lin Qinhe was somehow being unfair to her today.
It also made him blush and his heart beat faster.
When he came back with the water, he found something new on the table.
Tao Xi looked down at the document in front of him on the table. The huge title read:
The newly revised school rules and regulations of Wenhua No. 1 Middle School.
He looked at Lin Qinhe blankly and asked, "You gave it to me?"
Lin Qinhe said calmly: "As a freshman, you should take a good look at it."
Tao Xi wondered if he had violated any rules. He began to look down with some trepidation.
Ten minutes later, he looked at Lin Qinhe and said, "I've finished reading it."
"What's the point?" Lin Qinhe asked.
Tao Xi didn't expect that the school rules could have more important points. He tentatively said, "No fighting, no smoking, no drinking? Don't worry, I won't do these."
In fact, he felt a little nervous because he had just threatened Xu Ziqi with violence.
As a result, Lin Qinhe frowned and said coldly: "No."
Tao Xi tilted her head and thought for a while, then said, "No perm, no dye, no tattoo? I don't have the money to do these."
Lin Qinhe seemed to have run out of patience. He took the school rules directly, drew a circle around them with a pen, and then put them on Tao Xi's desk.
Tao Xi looked down and saw that the eighth line was framed.
Article 8 is: No premature love.
Tao Xi's heart suddenly stopped beating, and he almost instantly thought, could it be that Lin Qinhe had noticed his thoughts? But he had clearly just met Lin Qinhe not long ago today.
He looked at Lin Qinhe and used a retort to cover up his guilty conscience: "But didn't the principal's daughter also have a premature love affair?" Afraid that Lin Qinhe didn't know her, he added, "It's Senior Qiao from Class 1, Grade 3, the president of our Art Club."
Qiao Yitang has had ten boyfriends, but Tao Xi only wants one boyfriend.
Lin Qinhe was obviously angry because of his backtalk, frowned and asked back: "She is the principal's daughter, what about you?"
Well, he is nothing.
Tao Xi didn't expect that on the first day he decided to pursue Lin Qinhe and fall in love with him, Lin Qinhe told him not to fall in love too early.
It’s really a setback in life.
Tao Xi was more confused than sad. After a pause, she asked, "Why do you suddenly want to emphasize this to me?"
Lin Qinhe was silent for a while and then said, "You ranked only 138th in the opening weekly test. With this score, you can only enter Class 3. You ranked fifth from the bottom in the class in the English test. In the last math training, you got one multiple-choice question and the last question of two big questions wrong. You missed several questions that you shouldn't have gotten wrong in the comprehensive science test. Even if you get the highest score in Chinese, it won't improve your scores in other subjects."
Tao Xi was completely stunned.
It was the first time he heard Lin Qinhe say so many words in one breath.
He looked at Lin Qinhe in surprise and asked, "How do you know so much?"
Lin Qinhe looked away and said calmly, "The head teacher said so."
Tao Xi suddenly realized that Zhou Qiang was probably worried about his grades and concerned that he would fall in love too early in his new school, so he kept nagging Lin Qinhe to urge him to study hard. Lin Qinhe must have been saying this because he was tired of it.
He nodded obediently and said, "I understand. I will study hard and will never fall in love too early."
The unhappiness on Lin Qinhe's face faded a little. He hummed, put on his headphones and went to read.
Tao Xi thought: "That's weird."
He suddenly felt that Lin Qinhe was like his parent.
He was in the rebellious stage of adolescence.
