Chapter 17: Hello, New Tablemate!
Meeting him as a teenager is what you think is the perfect arrangement of fate.
When he left you in your twenties, you are sad why fate is so tricky.
You say life is too much like an empty room,
Some people came, drank a cup of tea and left.
Some people have lived here for a long time, but in the end they still pack their bags and leave without looking back.
You're looking forward to someone who likes everything in this room, who asks you for a key and who wants to live here for the rest of your life.
At the end of the summer when you were sixteen, there was a knock on your door.
The moment he opened the door, sunlight poured in from behind him.
At that moment, you suddenly believe that he is the one who is going to take the key.

My mom used to say, "Grades are a student's fate." ”
My dad used to teach me, "Your grades are your future." ”
I remembered these two teachings, and added the total score of the six test papers in my hand again, and eight words popped up in my mind.
Ill-fated and bleak in the future.
125 in Mathematics, 124 in Chinese, 119 in English. Well...... It's OK.
99 out of 150 in chemistry. A little man jumped out of my heart and spat at me, "Phew!
The creature is 91, and the perfect score is still 150. The little man spat and slapped me on the back of the head, phew!
Physics...... 75, a perfect score without any suspense. The little man's mouth was dry, he couldn't spit out, and he was panting to support his knees after a burst of punches and kicks, and he was ...... I...... I see you're trying to fucking exhaust me......
I put my chin on the test paper, and wondered if the money I had saved was enough to make a move to the ham and scallion cake shop at the school gate - if my path to study would be blocked sooner or later, it would be better to make plans for my future livelihood as soon as possible.
After a long time, it is obviously far from enough to take this little money, and it is still possible to buy a cart and sell pancakes.
Tang Jibei suddenly popped up from behind me, pulled my physics test paper out from under my chin, aimed it at the sunlight that penetrated through the window, and poured the test paper back and forth like a counterfeit banknote.
"I'll go! Glorious, still comrade. Why don't I have the ability to successfully avoid so many correct answers like you?"
I jumped up and grabbed the test paper back, and hurriedly covered it under my arm, but the bright and eye-catching "75" was still accidentally looked at by Fang Chaomu.
"Really, it's still too late to pass on. His expression was very serious, and his eyes were extremely sincere, but I still caught the smile on the corner of his mouth that could not be suppressed no matter how hard he tried.
"I've never liked to listen to this rotten wood, but today I have to admit that he's right. Tang Jibei solemnly patted me on the shoulder, "Do you know what kind of disaster your score will bring to you in the second half of your life? You are not only average in mathematics, physics and chemistry, but you will be held back in the college entrance examination! When the time comes, you will not be able to get into the undergraduate examination, so you can only go to Lanxiang to learn hydroelectric welding." Imagine a woman with a plastered face and a cone in her hand all day long, tsk......"
His "indescribable" expression gushed in my ear.
I was so frustrated. But not because of the ridicule of these two top students.
I hung my head and sighed. The moment the monthly exam report is issued, it is probably not far from changing seats......

Sure enough, in the last self-study class before school in the afternoon, the head teacher walked into the classroom with the 16K report card under his armpit, and with a wave of his hand, he happily announced that he would change seats in this class.
It suddenly became noisy. Some people excitedly packed up the tables and chairs, their eyes on the seats they had coveted for a long time, and some people hugged their heads goodbye to their old table mates, and did not forget to curse a few words to the teacher who set the rule of "ranking seats according to grades".
"Don't rush to pack up your things yet!" the head teacher tapped on the lecture, trying to quiet the noisy classroom. "Don't take anything first, line up in the hallway, and I'll call whoever comes in!"
In the corridor, Tang Jibei was rubbing snot and tears on Yu Qiuyun's clothes, and the little daughter-in-law told him that he must be selected as a table mate later.
"Where do you want to sit?" asked me. Yu Qiuyun followed the prestige behind him.
I rolled my eyes, "I belong to the group that fishes for food in the leftovers, okay...... I'd like to sit a little bit forward, but I guess I'll only be left in the back row when it's my turn. ”
He nodded thoughtfully and said no more.
As a perverted level student, Convenience Wood was naturally the first to go in and pick a seat, I glanced through the window, and saw that he hesitated for a moment between the first row and the second row, and chose the first row on the right side of the podium to sit down.
The second one to go in was Qi Li, and she didn't have to think about it, she sat down directly behind the convenient wood - that was where she was before.
After that, the head teacher ordered a few people one after another, and most of them chose the middle window position. Tang Jibei and Shan Shan walked in one after another, Shan Shan sat down beside Qi Li, Tang Jibei strode to the end of the classroom, and sat in the original position.
With that, he whistled out the window and made an "OK" gesture to Yu Qiuyun, who was looking at him.
Yu Qiuyun followed the "qualified to pick the same table" into the classroom. Although he is not as good as the Convenience Wood Genius, he still took the first place in the grade in the math multiple-choice question answer sheet, and he is not as smart as Tang Jibei. But fortunately, he has a good foundation and works hard enough, although he is not sharp, but he is also at the upper middle level in our class.
He ignored Tang Jibei, who was desperately waving at him at the back of the classroom, and sat down in the first row by the door. I was a little puzzled by his choice - this is the worst view of the whole classroom, because of the reflection, I can barely see the left half of the blackboard, and the position of the same table can be a little better, but it is also a little off. As a result, the seats in the first half of the classroom were almost full, but these two remained empty.
Just when I was confused, the head teacher called my name, and I, as the leader in these "crane tails", got the qualification of "priority fishing and eating".
"Here!" As soon as I stepped into the door, Yu Qiuyun waved at me with burning eyes, and pointed to the empty place beside me: "Leave it for you, I heard you say just now that you want to sit a little forward." With that, he blushed and scratched his head.
I'm sitting in the front row, and you can't see the blackboard.
I laughed at him in my heart, but my feet involuntarily walked towards him. Later, Yu Qiuyun told me that at that moment he felt that I was very much like a bride walking towards him, saying "I do" with a smile that could not be hidden.
I sat down next to him, embarrassed to look at him. We were half a man's apart, and my every move was in his eyes, which made me feel at a loss as to where to put my hands or what position to sit.
I was nervously wringing my fingers when I heard him whisper in my ear, "Hello, new tablemate." ”
"Hey, the Cultural Committee, we also want to sit at the same table with you!" Qi Li and Shan Shan laughed evilly on the side, I glared at them with a red face, and the afterglow was hitting Fang Chaomu's gaze on the left.
"Hahaha! You see, no one but me dares to sit at the same table with you. I gloated and pointed to the still empty spot next to him, "You're in a prime position here!"
He opened his mouth slightly, but he didn't seem to be able to think of any rebuttals, and finally put on the indifferent face of "who he loves", turned his head, and returned to the half-turned "Olympiad Mathematics".
