Thursday, end of October.
The sun, which had not been seen for a long time, lazily appeared from behind the clouds.
The sun shone down in circles, soft and gentle, unlike the scorching heat of a week ago.
The clouds in the sky have become much thicker, in clusters and clumps, and from time to time a few wild geese fly in formation to the south.
Water was dripping from the leaves and eaves, and the temperature had dropped.
The three-story-high ginkgo tree in front of the teaching building finally turned yellow. It was called the "Sacred Tree of No. 1 Middle School" by the students. Some senior high school students even ran under the tree to make a wish, hoping to get a satisfactory score in the college entrance examination and enter the school of their choice.
The golden ginkgo leaves are intertwined, stretching from the branches to the sky, adding a warm tone to the clear blue sky.
It also adds a touch of poetry and painting to this golden autumn campus.
After class, many students gathered around the small pond to look at the dozen or so red koi that the principal had just raised.
In Class 4's classroom, the windows and front and back doors were wide open, and cool breezes blew in, making the room feel very comfortable.
Chen Yanke was standing on the podium, talking to the students below.
The short-sleeved shirt and work clothes were changed into long-sleeved ones, and the pencil skirt was replaced with suit pants.
"Come on, students, be quiet for a moment."
"Tomorrow is the sports meet. I've already told your teacher, Mr. Tang, that we should set aside some time during the next PE class to rehearse the square formation performance for the opening ceremony."
The next class is physical education. Due to heavy rain, Tuesday's physical education class was changed to a self-study class in the classroom. The students were so uncomfortable.
After waiting for a long time for the weather to clear up, I can finally go for a stroll on the playground.
The boys, in particular, had already started shooting basketballs at the back of the classroom.
"And after school, don't rush home."
Chen Yanke looked at what was written in the notebook.
After hearing "Don't leave after school", a boy asked with a sad face:
"Why, Teacher Chen?"
Could it be that because the midterm exam is coming, we have to take extra classes?
I heard from seniors in their second and third years of high school that before the two major exams, the midterm exam or the final exam, the school might be very "thoughtful" to give students two extra self-study classes.
"Don't be nervous." Chen Yanke smiled. "After school, the school will rehearse for tomorrow's sports meeting."
What a coincidence.
I thought this massive rainstorm would delay the sports meet until after the midterm exam, but unexpectedly the rain stopped the day before the sports meet.
"I was so scared. I thought I would have to take extra classes."
Geng Feiyu sat next to the podium and began to mutter to himself.
"Luckily the weather is fine, otherwise the sports meet might have been cancelled."
Chen Yanke was close by, so she could hear it clearly.
"What's wrong? Isn't it good to have extra classes? It allows you to spend more time in school studying for the midterm exam."
"There are teachers on duty at school, so if you have any questions you can ask them. It's so convenient."
"Teacher Chen, you are right."
Geng Feiyu smiled foolishly and agreed.
Then he stood up and ran out of the classroom with a few boys to the playground.
There were only a few scattered students left in the classroom, and the rest had gone to the playground.
Chen Yanke held the teaching book in her hand and prepared to go to the office to put it down before going to the playground to watch the children taking physical education classes.
…
"The autumn weather is really comfortable."
Yu Xinghe stretched and walked in the corridor with his arms outstretched.
Cong Nian walked under the eaves nearby, and then watched the raindrops dripping from the eaves.
"The osmanthus flowers seem to be blooming. They smell so good."
She wrinkled her nose and smelled the refreshing fragrance of osmanthus.
"It should be in that area. There's a row of osmanthus trees. They're fragrant, but when they're full, they overflow."
Yu Xinghe frowned with some disgust.
There is a row of osmanthus trees in her community.
Whenever it blooms, it is no longer the refreshing fragrance described in books, but rather has the momentum of thousands of troops. If you smell it too much, you will be dizzy by the fragrance.
"Can osmanthus flowers be used as bookmarks?"
Cong Nian shook the water off his hands, took out a tissue to wipe them clean, and put his arm around Yu Xinghe.
The two of them walked slowly, swaying from side to side. Even when the bell rang, they did not quicken their pace.
The physical test has been completed. Tang Yizhou should be busy with tomorrow's sports meeting and has no time to take care of them.
It is more of a free activity class than a physical education class.
After the class bell rang, Yu Xinghe spoke:
"Don't all those bookmarks you have are enough?"
She knew that Nian Nian loved reading, and she had a little habit of putting a bookmark in every book, and the bookmarks were all made of various flowers and plants that she picked herself.
It is called a sense of ritual.
Cong Nian nodded.
"Senior Fang Xun borrowed a book from me last week, but I was so busy reviewing that I didn't have time to read it."
"Right now, I'm planning on preparing for the midterm exam first, and then looking at it after the exam. Otherwise, it would be bad if it affects the exam."
She had borrowed the book from Fang Xun last week and had kept it in her drawer without taking it home.
We had originally agreed to hold the sports meet, but now it may have to be postponed for a few days.
While we're waiting for the sports meet, ask Senior Fang Xun to lend it to you for a few more days. He's such an easy-going guy, he probably won't object, right?
"Senior Fang Xun...why is he so nice to you?"
Yu Xinghe raised his eyebrows slightly.
She had never heard that Senior Fang Xun would care so much about a junior, and she didn't think he would lend his books to others indefinitely.
He is gentle yet distant to people, and there has never been an accident.
But a certain little white rabbit looks so innocent and pure.
"Is there?"
"I think he's very special to you."
A bold idea came to his mind, and Yu Xinghe hesitated to speak.
"Could he be..."
Could it be that he likes Nian Nian?
"What is it?"
Cong Nian tilted his head and looked at Yu Xinghe who had a conflicted expression.
"nothing."
Yu Xinghe pursed her lips and shook her head slightly.
Maybe she was overthinking it.
Maybe Senior Fang Xun really gets along well with Nian Nian, so he takes better care of her.
They have only known each other for a short time. It shouldn't be what she thinks.
