I've been observing you for a long time.
"So, a disciple need not be inferior to his teacher, nor a teacher need not be better than his disciple. There are differences in the order of learning the truth, and in the specialization of skills. That is all."
"These lines from Han Yu's 'On Teachers' are frequently tested on the Gaokao (National College Entrance Examination). They haven't been on the test for three years, but they are very likely to appear next year. Everyone must pay attention to them."
The soft voice of the Chinese teacher on the stage rang in her ears. Wen Jing lowered her head without responding, her eyes fixed on the Chinese textbook in front of her, the tip of her pen sliding.
Not long after, a familiar face appeared in the blank space next to the classical Chinese text. A pair of beautiful eyes looked at Wen Jing through the paper, with a faint smile at the corners of his mouth.
Wen Jing raised the corners of her mouth slightly. Chen Meng beside her called her. Wen Jing's heart trembled and she hurriedly covered Chen Songyan's face in the book.
"The teacher asked us to prepare translations, one sentence each, starting with our group," she said.
"Oh." Wen Jing pretended to be calm and shifted her gaze to the textbook.
Ever since Wen Jing agreed to take her home to look at nebulae through the astronomical telescope, her attitude towards Wen Jing has become much better than before.
She never reminded Wen Jing in class before, but Wen Jing was spoiled by her former deskmate Chen Songyan's timely reminders, and she no longer had any vigilance towards the teacher, which led to her being easily caught when she was distracted this semester.
Now, Chen Meng no longer turns a blind eye to her occasional distractions and will call her out.
After successfully finishing the class, Wen Jing lay on the table, quietly opened her Chinese textbook, and stood in front of her eyes, admiring her painting of Chen Songyan from an angle that only she could see.
As the paper moved quickly, the person in the painting seemed to come alive, and his expression moved little by little, which was exactly the whole process of a smile.
Wen Jing laughed unconsciously, and a voice came from above her head: "Wen Jing."
? Can this painting speak?
Wen Jing's eyes were shocked. Could she be suffering from hysteria?
"Wen Jing." The person by the window called again.
Wen Jing's shoulders went numb. She turned around and saw Chen Songyan staring at her: "What are you doing?"
He slammed the Chinese textbook shut and said, "Of course I'm reciting."
Chen Songyan's expression remained unchanged and he said "oh".
Wen Jing saw that he was still standing there and hadn't left, so she asked him, "Do you have something to talk to me about?"
Chen Songyan glanced at her and turned his gaze away: "Nothing, just chatting."
Wen Jing was stunned.
Chen Songyan suddenly reached out and handed her two chocolates.
"Would you like some chocolate?" he said.
Wen Jing was stunned for a moment before taking it: "Did you buy this?"
It was chocolate with liquor filling. It was obvious that he would not buy it. Could it be given to him by someone else?
"My cousin gave me some wedding candy for her wedding," Chen Songyan said, looking a little embarrassed. "I don't like it."
"So you give me the food you don't like?" Wen Jing stared at him.
"No, I remember you loved them." He quickly explained, "My sister loves them too. She said these two are the best."
Wen Jing looked at him and smiled: "I was just kidding, I like it very much. Thank you."
Chen Songyan's expression paused, then he pursed his lips and smiled.
Not knowing who called his name, Wen Jing saw him turn his head, and soon, a girl with short hair walked over.
Wen Jing stood on tiptoe and saw Zhang Xiaowen's face.
She was holding a chemistry test paper in her hand, and seemed to have encountered a question she couldn't answer, so she handed it to Chen Songyan. Chen Songyan lowered his head and thought for two seconds, then explained a few words to her. Zhang Xiaowen said thank you.
Wen Jing couldn't help but think of her confession at the end of last semester, and Chen Songyan's subtle rejection on WeChat.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaowen would still find fault with him.
She couldn't help but stare at the other person. Zhang Xiaowen noticed it, turned around, showed a surprised expression, and then laughed: "Wen Jing, hello!"
A friendly tone and expression with a certain joy. Wen Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled: "Hello."
But Zhang Xiaowen didn't say anything else. She said shyly, "Class is about to start. I'm going back to the classroom first," and then left.
Just like the first time we met, I greeted her enthusiastically, but after that, there was no other action.
As if to confirm her words, the class bell rang, and Chen Songyan said to Wen Jing, "I'm going back to my seat," and left his seat by the window.
Wen Jing felt a sense of loss, as they had clearly not even spoken a few words.
During class, Wen Jing couldn't help but wonder what kind of person Zhang Xiaowen was.
She seemed to be very thin-skinned, but even after being rejected by Chen Songyan, she still continued to ask him questions.
Isn't this really just boiling a frog in warm water?
Now, any girl can get close to Chen Songyan, but she is the only one who has to keep a distance from him.
What if, what if one day, Chen Songyan suddenly falls in love with someone?
By the time she confessed her feelings to Chen Songyan after graduation, his heart would already belong to someone else!
no!
Just thinking about this, Wen Jing felt an uncontrollable anger and something else.
Anyway, she felt that if that were the case, she might not be such a good person.
When a word flashed in his mind, Wen Jingren was shocked.
It’s a bad fate, it’s really a bad fate.
Only bad fate could make her have such terrible thoughts!
She absolutely, absolutely would not allow herself to become that kind of person.
So, solve the problem from the root and nip it in the bud.
So, after class, she walked to the door of Class 19 and asked someone to help her call Zhang Xiaowen out.
Zhang Xiaowen was very shocked that she took the initiative to find her, and stood in front of her with an excited expression.
Wen Jing was slightly puzzled, but without thinking too much, she said directly: "I remember you often go to the library to study. Do you want to join me?"
Zhang Xiaowen stayed where she was for a while before she said, "Why? We haven't even spoken a few words."
Wen Jing's eyes turned: "You give me a very friendly feeling. I want to get to know you."
Zhang Xiaowen's eyes trembled: "Really?"
Seeing that she looked deeply moved, Wen Jing was a little confused and had to nod.
Zhang Xiaowen thanked her emotionally and asked her when they could come together.
"Let's do it today." She just needs to tell Chi Ya when the time comes. "I'll come find you after school. We'll go eat first, and then go to the library."
"Okay!" Zhang Xiaowen's tone was filled with uncontrollable joy.
Wen Jing didn't quite understand the source of her emotion. Could it be that she was very excited because she knew her results?
Thinking of the physics teacher's character of not being able to hide things, Wen Jing felt that Class 19, as their sister class, should know something about her.
That's probably the reason.
It's just that she was a little exaggerated, which doesn't match her shy appearance.
After class, Wen Jing packed up her things and found Zhang Xiaowen was already waiting at the door.
She looked ready to go, which surprised Wen Jing.
"Shall we go to the cafeteria now?" she said.
"Wait, go find someone first." Wen Jing said.
"I know Chi Ya from Class 10, that super pretty girl. You have a very good relationship with her." Zhang Xiaowen's eyes lit up.
Wen Jing was surprised: "You know us very well?"
"I, I have been observing you for a long time."
Wen Jing looked at her puzzledly.
Zhang Xiaowen blushed: "I, I like you guys very much!"
Is she such a straightforward person?
Wen Jing had never been confessed to by a girl she had no connection with before, so she felt a little uncomfortable and had to change the subject: "Let's go find her together."
"good!"
“…”
"You explained it so clearly, I understood it right away and was able to apply it to other situations! The teacher explained it twice before, but I still didn't understand." In the small classroom of the library, Zhang Xiaowen whispered her surprise to Wen Jing.
Before Wen Jing could reply, Chi Ya nodded in agreement: "Yeah, she's really amazing!"
Zhang Xiaowen looked at Chi Ya and said, "You're amazing too! Your English score is close to perfect. You're the only one in the school who has achieved that!"
Chi Ya: "You know both of us very well!"
So Zhang Xiaowen repeated what she had said to Wen Jing at the classroom door: "Because I like you guys so much, I've been observing you for a long time, and I really want to be friends with you, but I can't find the opportunity."
Chi Ya glanced at Wen Jing with a little surprise, and seemed to feel that the other party's straightforward expression was in stark contrast to Wen Jing's shy appearance.
But Chi Ya likes this kind of contrast: "You are so cute, I like you too!"
Wen Jing: “…”
She shouldn't have sat in the middle.
"Just come and talk to us directly, it's okay." Chi Ya said again.
Zhang Xiaowen only then showed a shy look: "I'm embarrassed."
She glanced at Wen Jing and said, "I don't dare to get close to my idol easily."
Wen Jing:?
Having said that, Zhang Xiaowen continued, "I noticed Wen Jing in my first year of high school. She was amazing. She got first place in science on the first monthly exam and has been there ever since, while I was at the bottom of the class in science. At that time, I didn't know what she looked like. I thought she was a very dignified girl."
"Until one day, I heard someone calling her, and I realized she was a girl like me, with short hair, glasses, and a quiet look. But she was completely different from me. I was always shy, timid, and timid. But whether she was alone or in a crowd, she was calm, excellent, independent, and at ease."
“She’s the exact opposite of who I want to be.”
After saying this, Wen Jing and Chi Ya fell silent.
Finally, it was Wen Jing who broke the silence: "I'm not as good as you say, and you're not as bad as you say."
"Yes!" Chi Ya said, "Oh no! Sister Wen is really good, and you are good too."
Zhang Xiaowen was very touched: "Thank you."
Wen Jing was not used to such sentimental scenes and hurriedly said, "Let's continue studying."
Zhang Xiaowen nodded, and said somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm certainly not completely useless. If you have any questions about Chinese, you can ask me. My Chinese score has never been lower than 140."
Chi Ya looked at Wen Jing: "She said she won the Chinese language exam?"
Wen Jing looked back at her: "It's never been below 140."
I*!
"I*!"
Wen Jing and Chi Ya said it at the same time, but one kept it in her heart and the other said it out loud.
Several other people in the small classroom turned and glared at them.
Chi Ya immediately shut up. After a moment, she said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I think this classroom can no longer accommodate the three of us."
Wen Jing: "I know a good place."
