Chapter 30
Qu Dazhuang and his group have never looked forward to the start of school as much as they did this time.
Two whole days of the weekend! Two whole days! They were locked in the room by the boss, forced to listen to lectures and do exercises and exams! They haven't felt the fear of studying for many years, and they dare not resist. They are really doubting their lives.
Holidays are torture, but school starts is a relief.
But anyway, it was a beautiful fantasy because we were too young. On Monday, before the morning self-study session started, Ji Rang took a group of people to Liu Yao's office to sign up for three minor subjects.
Liu Yao was almost moved to tears by these poor students who suddenly changed their ways and worked hard. He stretched out his trembling hands and touched the heads of each of them to show his satisfaction: "They are all good children, good children."
In the next midterm exam, Class 9 will definitely not be the class with the lowest average score anymore!
Qu Dazhuang shed tears of regret.
Iron doors, iron windows, iron chains...
Woo…
After the morning self-study, the whole school gathered in the playground for the flag-raising ceremony. This week's flag-raiser was Wu Rui, who walked in front with his head held high and his chest puffed out, and he looked quite good without his glasses and in his military uniform.
Qu Dazhuang now shivers physically whenever he sees him: "I look at the top student in the grade now the same way I used to look at the math teacher."
Liu Haiyang: "Who isn't..."
The two turned around angrily and secretly glared at the culprit.
The instigator leaned sideways, his hands in his trouser pockets, and looked in the direction of Class 2 with a careless and lazy look. I don't know what he saw, but he curled the corner of his lip.
Qu Dazhuang: "I really want to usurp the throne."
Liu Haiyang: "I support you."
After the flag-raising ceremony, the dean took the microphone to the stage and gave a routine speech. Ji Rang hadn't caused any trouble in the previous week, and the sea was calm and peaceful, so the step of announcing the criticism was skipped.
The Dean of Studies was very pleased and used the rest of the time to announce an important event: "Starting from this Monday, our school will have a 'school exchange meeting' with Yancheng No. 7 Middle School. Last week, we selected ten students from each class in the second year of high school to go to Yancheng. This week, ten students from Yancheng No. 7 Middle School will come to our school and study and live with everyone. I hope that the students of our school can get along well with the students of Yancheng No. 7 Middle School, learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses, and make progress together!"
The listless Qu Dazhuang finally got excited: "Yancheng? It's so far! It takes three hours by plane, right? Is it a boy or a girl? Are they pretty? Which class are they in? Is there anyone in our class?"
Most of the students below had the same reaction as him. The playground was suddenly filled with noise. The dean of studies yelled for quiet several times before he finally stopped the enthusiasm for gossip.
Yue Li hated herself for not having her cell phone with her, so she couldn't share this matter with Qi Ying right away.
She soon heard the news from the monitor Chen Mengjie: "Three people from Class 1 went, one from our class, two from Class 3, two from Class 4, and two from Class 5."
Yue Li ignored the crowd and rushed to the front: "Are you a boy or a girl?"
Chen Mengjie said: "The boy, I heard from Teacher Liu that the boy seems to be the top student in Yancheng No. 7 Middle School."
There was amazement all around.
The news quickly spread to other classes.
"Wow, another top student in the grade."
"I wonder how it compares to our top student in the grade?"
"Aren't all the top students in the grade nerdy? Haha. Now there are two nerds. I wonder who is the nerdier one."
Ji Rang withdrew his gaze from Class 2 and kicked Qu Dazhuang next to him: "Tell them to shut up."
Qu Dazhuang quickly put on a ferocious expression: "Shut the fuck up! What's wrong with being a nerd? Do you have the ability of a nerd to get the first place in the exam? You keep talking all day long without doing anything, do you believe I will sew you up with a needle?!"
The people around were scolded for no reason, but they didn't dare to refute and just kept silent.
After the morning meeting, the students were immersed in the enthusiasm of being exchange students. Yue Li dragged Qi Ying to the classroom quickly, wanting to tell her the news immediately.
When going up the stairs, there were too many students, so they had to slow down and follow the flow of people. Ji Rang didn't know when he walked up to them. Qi Ying turned around and saw him, pursing her lips and smiling.
He also smiled, and when he turned the corner, in the crowded crowd, he gently took her hand and handed her the candy in his palm.
The crowd split into two sides. He followed the flow to the left, his hands in his trouser pockets, his back lazy, as if he had not secretly held the little girl's hand and handed her candy in the crowded crowd just now.
Back in the classroom, Class 2 was indeed excited.
This morning I was wondering why the study committee member Huang Botong was absent. Now I know that he was selected by Liu Qinghua to go to Yancheng No. 7 Middle School for exchange last week.
As soon as Yue Li sat down, she couldn't wait to write down this matter and hand it to Qi Ying.
Qi Ying, who was originally holding the strawberry candy and smiling, suddenly froze when she saw the contents on the notebook.
Yue Li was still writing: I heard that boy is the top student in Yancheng No. 7 Middle School! He should be sitting in Huang Botong's seat, so he should be sitting behind us? !
Qi Ying stared at the words "Yancheng No. 7 Middle School".
My heart started to hurt again, like being pricked by needles.
The sudden discomfort swept through my body like a torrential rain. Many strange yet familiar images played automatically in my brain like slides and I couldn't turn them off.
She was in so much pain that she couldn't breathe and her face turned pale.
Yue Li noticed that something was wrong with her and was so scared that she pulled her hand: "Yingying, what's wrong with you?"
The slender fingers were cold and the palms were sweating.
Qi Ying bit her lip tightly, peeled the strawberry candy and put it in her mouth.
The sweetness of the strawberry spread from the tip of my tongue all the way to my stomach. I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but it seems to still be warm from when he held it in my palm. Sweet and warm.
The uncomfortable feeling was diluted by the sweetness, and she was finally able to breathe.
He grabbed Yue Li who was about to call the teacher and wrote on the notebook: It's okay, it's low blood sugar, just take a candy.
Yue Li observed her expression and saw that she seemed to have recovered and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
The bell rang, and Liu Qinghua led a tall and handsome boy into the classroom. "Classmates, this is the exchange student from Yancheng No. 7 Middle School, Fu Nanxun. Welcome everyone."
There was warm applause in the classroom.
Aren't the top students in the class all nerds like Wu Rui? ! How come this top student is so tall, handsome, and has such a gentle smile? !
Even his voice was pleasant to the ear, clean and gentle, like the first ray of light in the morning: "Hello everyone, I am Fu Nanxun, Nan of the south, Xun of Jiangxun. I hope to have a good time with you all in the next week."
Liu Qinghua pointed to Huang Botong's seat and said, "This is your seat."
Fu Nanxun nodded and walked towards his seat. His gentle smile turned into shock when he saw Qi Ying.
Qi Ying smiled and nodded at him.
Fu Nanxun's eyes were filled with joy of reunion after a long separation.
He sat down in Huang Botong's seat. Everyone around him was looking at him, but he only looked at the thin and straight back in front of him. He didn't listen to the first class at Haicheng No. 1 Middle School at all.
It was not until the end of get out of class that he called her in a low voice from behind: "Yingying..."
Qi Ying was still packing her textbooks and didn't respond. Fu Nanxun called out again, "Qi Ying."
Yue Li turned sideways and asked in surprise: "How do you know her name? Do you know her?"
Fu Nanxun nodded, "We used to be desk mates."
Yue Li opened her mouth and said, "Deskmate? Yingying used to be from Yancheng No. 7 Middle School?"
After tidying up her desk, Qi Ying finally turned around. She had a pen and paper in her hands and wrote on the paper: Long time no see.
Fu Nanxun's face changed. After a long while, he asked Yue Li stiffly, "What happened to her?"
Yue Li asked curiously, "Don't you know that you two are desk mates? Yingying is injured and can't hear or speak."
Fu Nanxun's fingers under the desk almost dug into his flesh: "I... I don't know... She transferred to another school very suddenly..."
It was more than sudden.
We were still chatting and laughing after school on Friday, and we planned to go to the bookstore together the next day, but I couldn't get through to her the next day. I didn't see her come to school on Monday, so I asked the teacher, and the teacher said Qi Ying had asked for leave for something.
Since then, she never came to school again, her cell phone was unreachable, and she could not be contacted in any other way. Not long after, someone came to the school to handle the transfer procedures for her.
Qi Ying seemed to have disappeared from their lives.
I never thought that she would transfer to Haiyi, and...
Fu Nanxun asked Yue Li anxiously: "What happened? Why was she injured?"
The whole grade knew that Qi Ying was the child of a martyr, and Yue Li did not hide it from him and told him everything she knew. But she didn't know much, what Qi's father did, why he died, and why Qi Ying was implicated.
Fu Nanxun only felt that life was like a TV drama, and what she had experienced was something he had never thought of before.
The smile of the girl in front of him was the same as before, soft and sweet. He didn't know how to comfort her. In the end, he just smiled at her and wrote in the notebook: Let's go to the bookstore together after school. I don't know what the book you said you wanted to recommend to me is.
Qi Ying searched her memory.
Yes, that Friday, they had an appointment to go to the bookstore to buy books.
Unfortunately, something happened to the original owner over the weekend.
This was also one of the promises that the original owner had not fulfilled. Qi Ying did not refuse and nodded.
Fu Nanxun had learned all about Qi Ying's current situation in a whole day. He finally felt less sad when he learned that she lived with her uncle, had a brother who protected her, and her classmates also took good care of her. Her deafness and aphasia were gradually recovering.
After school, Qi Ying took him to buy books.
Just after leaving the school gate and waiting for the traffic light, Fu Nanxun felt like someone was looking at him from behind, and he felt like a thorn in his back.
He looked back.
Ten steps away stood a tall and thin boy, with wild eyebrows and cold eyes, staring at him and Qi Ying with an undisguised hostility and coldness.
He had a hunch that this man was dangerous.
He leaned towards Qi Ying and protected her.
The boy's expression became colder, with a suppressed madness.
A Lincoln drove by, blocking his view.
The car door opened, and the man inside smiled gently and called out, "Valenci."
Ji Rang tilted his head and smiled, his eyes full of evil.
