After the results of the first monthly exam came out, in the corridor of class 32, Li Ling hugged Su Ying and looked at the pink sunset on the horizon without saying a word, and said in his heart: The same is the end of the world.

With the aura of the first place in the grade, he entered the top class of the best middle school in the city, Li Ling was particularly valued by Huang Zhong, even if Li Ling said that he did not plan to run for the class committee, he still let her serve as a member of the life committee, mainly responsible for the daily expenses of the class. Unexpectedly, the test results this time were not only in the middle of the class, but also hovered in the top 100 in the grade. And Su Ying is also in a similar situation, falling from the top 20 in the grade to 200.

In the new environment, it seems that I have not been able to get off to a good start, and the only thing that is gratifying is that the individual subject scores of Chinese and mathematics are still in the forefront.

Li Ling didn't let herself be immersed in sad emotions for a long time, she hugged Su Ying tightly, and said with a shallow smile: "It's okay, what's the big deal, it's just a monthly exam, there are many exams in life, let's urge each other and strive to do well next time." ”

Su Ying pursed her lips and tried to hold back the tears that were about to overflow her eyes, but she still didn't stop it, Li Ling helped her wipe it off distressedly, and coaxed her softly: "Don't cry, don't cry, I'll ask you to eat candy." ”

Su Ying smiled suddenly: "You treat me as a child." ”

"You're Su Baobao. Okay, let's eat candy. ”

Su Ying felt that Li Ling had an inexplicable ability, every time she was unhappy, she could always notice it and be by her side to comfort her, even if it was just a few simple words coming out of her mouth, it was like a drop of potion, enough to heal a scar.

Before I arrived at the classroom after dinner, I heard the rhythmic "Poker Face" playing from a distance, and you didn't have to guess who was partying. Sure enough, as soon as I entered the classroom, I saw Wu Xin writhing enchantingly on the podium. He wears his favorite ultra-shorts, and his legs are long and thin, if not too dark, they are the legs that girls yearn for.

Li Ling sat on the seat, holding his face to enjoy this solo concert belonging to Wu Xin, only to see him singing and walking to Jiang Zhiqing's side, Jiang Zhiqing was doing the question, raised his head and said to Wu Xin quietly, "Don't jump" and then buried his head in learning, Wu Xin didn't care, continued to invite others, Li Ling couldn't escape, she swayed a few times with the music and covered her face shyly.

To tell the truth, Li Ling envied Wu Xin, some people said that he was grotesque, and some people laughed at him for being perverted behind his back, but he never took it to heart. He likes Italian italics that he writes in English, he likes to show his long legs in shorts, he likes to gossip and talk unabashedly among girls, and he is obsessed with the maverick Lady Gaga and wants to announce it to the world. So bold, uninhibited, not afraid of the eyes of the world.

When Li Ling put down his hand and turned his head to look for Su Ying, he happened to see Jiang Zhiqing looking at her with strange eyes, as if he was shocked by her soulless swing just now. Usually when she is embarrassed, Li Ling will involuntarily laugh to resolve it, so she smiled at Jiang Zhiqing, but he immediately lowered his head and wrote his homework indifferently.

Li Ling asked himself to be good at capturing other people's thoughts, but he never understood what kind of person Jiang Zhiqing was. In addition to getting close to Li Sheng, he rarely intersects with other people, and if he wasn't too handsome, he would have become a forgotten person in the class. His sculptural face always showed a look of indifference and indifference, so when Li Ling saw him alone in the classroom very focused on hygiene, he felt incredible.

It was a Friday in December, and after school at four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Ling and Su Ying took their schoolbags and went to the playground to relax, running around and chatting for almost an hour, and the campus was a lot quieter. When Li Ling was about to go home, he rummaged through his schoolbag to check if there were any missing books and papers, and just found that he didn't take the math papers, and returned to the classroom and saw Jiang Zhiqing holding a broom and carefully sweeping the surroundings of the trash can.

Outside the window, the red sunset was about to sink, the residual light sprinkled on him, his hair was dyed a light golden yellow, and his slender back was soaked in the color plate of dusk.

Li Ling was a little dazed, and looked at it blankly for a while before asking, "Why are you still sweeping the floor?"

Jiang Zhiqing turned his head, with doubts on his face: "There are still some left that have not been dealt with." Why are you back?"

"I forgot to take my math paper. ”

Jiang Zhiqing and Mo Tong are labor councilors, and each of them takes turns to supervise sanitation for a week, and every Friday after school. A few months ago, when it was Li Ling's turn to be on duty, Mo Tong was supervising, and this was the first time he had seen Jiang Zhiqing doing rough work, but why did he even look so handsome and elegant even sweeping the floor? Li Ling was a little jealous.

Li Ling didn't forget his business, and after looking in the drawer for a while, he finally found the math test paper in the Chinese workbook, and Jiang Zhiqing had already put the broom away.

"Is it done?"

"Just set the table again. ”

"I'll swing with you. ”

Jiang Zhiqing paused slightly, and said slowly: "No, you can go home." ”

Li Ling wanted to insist any longer, but in a blink of an eye, she thought that Su Ying was still waiting for her downstairs, so she gave up.

"Then I'll go first, don't be too late. ”

Jiang Zhiqing nodded in response.

Li Ling also used to be a labor commissioner, basically helping with sanitation every day, doing the work of several people by himself, and being the last to leave after ensuring cleanliness, I didn't expect Jiang Zhiqing, who was lonely, to be like this.

Walking to the door of the classroom, Li Ling remembered something again, stopped and turned back to Jiang Zhiqing and smiled: "Jiang Zhiqing, Merry Christmas!"

Sunday is Christmas.

Jiang Zhiqing seemed to be stunned, and only after a few seconds did he say, "Merry Christmas." ”

It was the most conversation they'd had in the four months they'd met, but it was also the last one in their freshman year.

The first semester of the first year of high school was not very smooth but ended safely, Li Ling reluctantly squeezed into the key class of science, Dandelion, Jiang Zhiqing, Li Sheng, and Wen Jinxing were also there, and the seven girls who stayed together during military training were only Wu Lan and her class, Su Ying and Liang Tongxin were in another key science class, and the others and Wu Xin all chose to study liberal arts. Unexpectedly, the classmates have changed, and the teachers have also changed, and the head teacher is still Huang Zhong, who teaches physics.

After the class is divided, the goal is clear, the study is more intense, and life is basically two points and one line at school and home. Lin Liangying went to G City to take care of Li Ling's father Li Guofu's daily life and diet, so Li Ling's lunch and dinner were either solved in the cafeteria, bought at a roadside stall, or eaten near the school with Peng Jun, who was in her front seat.

Peng Jun is a bit like a sister in Li Ling's eyes, and she is probably a sissy in the eyes of boys. He speaks softly, and in every word and deed he shows the demeanor of a delicate aunt who carries a basket to the market to buy vegetables in the evening, is rigorous, and at the same time loves sports, and is very easy to get close to. The girl who walked with him never worried about rumors, because he was also happy to be called a good sister.

The only thing worth mentioning is that Li Ling was qualified to go to the capital to participate in the National Middle School Student Essay Contest in the summer vacation of his first year of high school, and thus established a relatively deep revolutionary friendship with Cai Zhiguo, who participated in the competition with his class, and soon Cai Zhiguo became a key figure in the turning point of Li Ling's youth.

Life is like this, and before you know it, it quietly plays a chess game for you to change your future life.
