Chapter 19: One Succession (4000 words)
End of summer.
The climate of Qianhe Province is complex and diverse, the western plateau mountainous area of the Central Basin, and the Furong Plain, located in the middle of the Qianhe Basin, is hot and humid in summer. Autumn is coming imperceptibly.
Today is Monday, early in the morning.
Judy stood in front of the score leaderboard at the entrance of the school and was speechless for a long time. Her name is in the 11th. To be honest, it is already very good for a middle school in the top 20 in the country to be ranked in such a high school as Furong No. 2 Middle School, and it is not impossible to maintain the top 2.
In fact, the score difference between the top 50 is not big, maybe this time if you are lucky enough to score a few more points in the essay, you will go up to a dozen, and the next time you get two or three more multiple-choice questions wrong, you will go down to dozens of places. However, Judy's focus is not on her own achievements, but on ...... Judy's name is up on the red list, and the 8th position is a familiar name.
Jiang Chao.
Class, 1 class.
There can be no mistake, it is Jiang Chao. Judy looked sideways and slowly. 145 in English, 139 in Chinese, and then ...... in Mathematics 147! Judy couldn't help but glance at her score again.
142, yes, 5 points shorter than Jiang Chao!
When a person has the impression of being convinced of another person, she constantly subconsciously reinforces that impression. That's why first impressions matter. But if an accident, a reality, shatters that impression, it can put the person in a state of self-doubt.
Cheating? impossible!
During the exam, Judy sat behind Jiang Chao, and she could see clearly what Jiang Chao was doing.
"Hey, your name is Judy, isn't it?"
"Huh?"
Judy turned around, and a teacher with glasses pushed her glasses while looking at the red list. The teacher was familiar, but Judy couldn't remember who he was for a while, and showed a blank expression.
"What, don't you remember me?" the teacher laughed, "I proctored your transfer test." ”
Judy's face turned red: "The teacher is so ......"
The teacher smiled absently, and continued to take his glasses to look at the red list carefully, "How many are you? You did well in the last transfer exam, you should be in the top 20, right?"
“11。 ”
"11?" The teacher laughed: "That's very good! Keep it up, you can get into the top 2!" At this moment, the teacher's eyes lit up: "Yo, this Jiang Chao is actually the 8th, not bad." ”
"Math 147? This time there is no perfect score, he should be the first in the school, right?" the teacher did not seem surprised.
Judy was silent, looking like she didn't know what to say. The teacher turned around and said to Judy with a smile: "Last time, he only took half an hour to finish the math test paper, and I estimate that he can be among the top few in the school in a single subject of math this time." ”
Judy hesitated for a moment and asked, "Teacher, did he really finish that set of test papers in only half an hour?"
The teacher was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "By the way, I remember that you went to the toilet at that time." He did it in half an hour, and I asked him, and he said he had studied advanced math. ”
"In high school math problems, many of the problems are actually the reasoning and proving process of the theorem of high numbers, but I am still surprised that he can finish it so quickly, and I remember that the teacher who solved the problem had to take more than 40 minutes to complete it. ”
"But you're still very good! There aren't many 140s on this exam, especially for girls who are good at math. The teacher added. Later, the teacher casually chatted about other things, nothing more than the combination of work and rest, relaxation, psychological pressure, and the like, but Judy couldn't hear it clearly.
Judy walked into the classroom with a blank expression. In the classroom, students are carrying desks and chairs. In order to make the learning environment less monotonous, many classes have a common practice of having students change positions once a week in groups. Every Monday, the boys are responsible for moving the tables.
The boys who arrived early were working hard to help the girls move the desks, and the boys in each class would be very gentlemanly and caring about the girls. Among them, of course, there are also boys who have the intention of dedicating themselves to the beauty. The girls watched from the sidelines, and the classroom was noisy and laughing. High school is simply young, lively and cheerful.
At this moment, Jordan's deep voice came: "Let me, let let!" I saw him lift a table high and shout at others to walk away.
"Jordan, didn't you just move your desk? Which female classmate did you help move it?" the class burst into laughter as one of the boys teased.
Jordan glared at the boy: "I'll smoke you later!" This is Jiang Chao's table, he hasn't come yet, I'll help him move it." ”
"Oh, it turned out to be Jiang Chao's!"
"He's so energetic, he doesn't need your help, can you help me move?"
Jordan glared at the boy who spoke: "I'll help you move your limbs later!"
The morning began in such a noisy and joyful atmosphere.
Jordan put down Jiang Chao's table in his new position. At that moment, a note suddenly slipped out of the table. "Huh, what is this?" Jordan's eyes moved.
Curious, Jordan picked it up and frowned. It's a poem, and the handwriting is pretty good. "Clever hands are empty, and gold is ......won out of nothing" Because it didn't look like Jiang Chao's privacy, Jordan couldn't help but read it out with a note.
Just when Jordan read the first few words, Judy was stunned at first, her eyes widened, her expression panicked, and she hurriedly went over and grabbed the note in Jordan's hand.
"......" Jordan was about to scold, but when he saw that it was Judy, he quickly changed his words: "...... What for?" Judy's cheeks flushed, silently crumpling the note, "No ...... Nothing ......."
Jordan became interested all of a sudden, and couldn't help laughing: "You wrote this note to Jiang Chao?
This is a poem written by Judy to Jiang Chao satirizing his deception, but at this time, it makes her want to dig a hole in the ground.
"No! You...... Don't ask!" Judy finished and returned to her place in a gray manner, her whole face already flushed. Jordan and several of the boys all looked at Judy with ambiguous expressions.
At this moment, Jiang Chao finally arrived. As soon as he stepped into the classroom, he sensed that the atmosphere was a little eerie. "Brother......" Jordan came up, climbed Jiang Chao, and asked with a thief's eyebrows: "Tell me about it!"
"Huh?" Jiang Chao felt inexplicable: "What are you talking about?" Jordan squeezed his eyes and motioned to look at Judy. Judy sat upright and didn't look back. Jiang Chao still didn't know what to do, and couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Talking about people." ”
Jordan grinned and patted Jiang Chao on the shoulder: "It's almost class, empty chat, empty chat!" After speaking, he returned to his seat.
"Inexplicable......"
When the bell rang, Dong Slowcai stepped into the classroom at the last second, panting. "Every time I step on the bell and come in, I feel like the main character of the movie is running away at the last moment of the explosion. ”
Dong sat down on the seat slowly: "Thank you for helping me move the seat!"
Then, Dong Slow mysteriously leaned over and said to Jiang Chao awkwardly: "Brother, the head teacher and several school leaders are going this way, it seems that they are coming to our class, and they don't know what to do." ”
……
"Bang bang. ”
The head teacher stood on the podium and clapped his hands, signaling everyone to be quiet, and then the bottom became silent. Several school leaders came in.
"What's the situation?" the student whispered.
"Jiang Chao, Jordan. The teacher smiled and nodded at the two of them. Jiang Chao and Jordan, who were called by name, were stunned, and they looked at each other across their seats, not knowing why.
"I'm delaying you a little bit this morning, and I have a situation to report. The teacher said.
Judy couldn't help but quietly glanced back at Jiang Chao.
"Some time ago, there was a fight on Yulin Road......"
Judy raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and looked back at Jiang Chao again, her eyes became worried, but then she was stunned, because Jiang Chao's expression was very calm, and when she looked at Jordan again, she was even a little excited. So Judy looked puzzled.
"Several young people in the society picked quarrels and provoked trouble, smashed the stalls, but fortunately, two students from our school acted bravely and prevented the situation from developing further. ”
"Righteousness and bravery?" Judy's eyes widened suddenly, and she couldn't help but make a soft sound.
The teacher nodded approvingly: "And these two classmates are Jiang Chao and Jordan, who I just read their names." Please give them both a round of applause!"
The class immediately erupted in thunderous applause, and everyone focused their eyes on the two of them.
When the applause fades down......
"I now give the floor to Vice President Zhou. The head teacher stood to the side and gave his seat to the vice-principal.
The Vice Chancellor walked slowly forward.
"To be honest, I was shocked to hear the news this morning. "The vice principal also spoke slowly.
"The reason for the incident was that a woman came to my office with a pennant, told me very emotionally about the incident, and repeatedly begged me to give the two classmates a good honor. ”
"Here's how it went......"
"In this regard, we have decided to reward, of course we want to reward! Commendation, of course we have to commend! We are already studying how to further spread the excellent deeds of the two students in the school!"
"Of course, we also hope that when children are brave enough to do what is right, they will first ensure their own safety. The vice principal paused, and looked left and right at the entourage: "To be honest, our students, our children, have such qualities, it's not easy!"
The entourage all nodded to the vice principal's gaze. There was still silence underneath. The vice president continued to speak, and the more senior the leader spoke, the slower, more organized, and higher the ideological height.
The vice principal started with the quality of the students, talked about the school's philosophy and glorious traditions, and finally sublimated to the height of the nation and the country. "If every student has this quality, the country, why not worry!"
The class teacher was the first to applaud, and then everyone applauded, and the whole classroom was immersed in applause.
Although Jiang Chao's mood fluctuated, he still had a calm expression, but as one of the focal points, he still didn't know where to put his hand, so he lowered his head slightly, and occasionally raised it to smile. Jordan showed a rare shy expression, and his dark facial skin was red and hot. I want to laugh but am embarrassed to laugh, I keep touching the back of my head, and from time to time there are boys teasing with admiration, Jordan glared at each other while laughing.
Everyone's emotions are mostly unified as admiration and approval...... Only one person has a complicated mind.
Judy, her face turned red again, she bit her lip, and secretly glanced at Jiang Chao again. At this time, the back of the hand hit by the slingshot the day before yesterday began to hurt again, Judy raised her hand, looked at the bruise on the back of her hand, and was speechless for a long time.
……
Language lessons.
"Please ask a few students in the front row to help send out the test papers for last week's mock exam. ”
Judy in the front row had no choice but to get up and take a stack from the podium.
There are no Jiang Chao's papers in this stack of test papers. But Judy sent Jordan's roll. This word...... Judy sighed. But she suddenly felt a little familiar, good-looking words, most of them have the same characteristics, but ugly words have their own ugly methods. Therefore, it is difficult for ugly words to make people feel familiar.
Judy was wondering when she had ever seen ugly handwriting on Jordan's test paper......
Just then, the teacher spoke again.
"Judy, there is also a stack of sample essays here, please send a copy to each student. ”
"Oh. Judy nodded.
"In this exam, the composition of our class was generally very poor, and only one student scored 55, and that was Jiang Chao. I have made a copy of his essay for each student, and as an example, please study it carefully. ”
Judy was stunned, her expression was very surprised, and she whispered to herself: "His literary brilliance ...... Fan Wen?"
"With the theme of rebirth...... What angles are we going to get into......
Just as the teacher was speaking, Judy got Jiang Chao's composition, and when she saw the words on it, she suddenly felt like she had been struck by lightning and was stunned. Jiang Chao's words are vigorous and powerful, and the structure of the frame is coordinated, and at first glance it is a level that can only be achieved with at least more than ten years of skill.
"Judy-san, what's wrong? Judy-san?"
Judy hurriedly raised her head, "I'...... My hands hurt ......."
"Oh, then Qijie-san will help her send it. ”
Then Judy silently returned to her seat.
"I have to say that Jiang Chao not only writes well, but his volume is also worth learning from, you can take a look at his handwriting......"
The teacher was still talking.
Judy looked at the copy of Jiang Chao's essay in silence. Then, she quietly took out the love letter...... Comparing the two by two, Judy sighed deeply.
For a time, love letters, Jordan's handwriting, and Guan Tian's bag ...... All the details are connected together, and a complete story is presented in the mind.
"Original...... He didn't confess to me at all......" Judy's eyelashes trembled slightly, she thought of her deliberate rejection of Jiang Chao, and when she thought of that scene, she couldn't wait to dig a hole in it now.
She bit her lip again.
Judy's eyes were in a trance. She looked at the test paper, but the focus of her gaze was scattered, and the voice of the teacher still echoed in her ears.
"Turn the page, Judy!" the tablemate, noticing that Judy seemed absent-minded, quietly touched her arm and reminded her in a whisper.
Judy let out an "oh" and flipped to the position where the teacher explained, but then sighed and slowly lay down on the table.
"Judy-san, are you uncomfortable?"
"I ...... I have a stomachache...... Teacher, don't pay attention to me, I want to be quiet. ”
