Chapter Twenty-Five: Going Abroad
Xiao Ran has had a very hard time during this time, in addition to the fast pace of the new class and the fact that her classmates are not familiar with the same table, the pressure from the head teacher also overwhelmed her. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 As soon as the results of the first monthly exam of the second year of high school came, Xiao Ran was called to the office by the head teacher as the penultimate in mathematics in the class, and preached bitterly.
After coming out of the office, Xiao Ran, who couldn't see his emotions on the surface, actually collapsed inside. Sitting on the seat, he learned from the pain and secretly made a determination to "wear gold armor in a hundred battles in the yellow sand, and never return Loulan if it is not broken". Xiao Ran, whose English scores have gradually stabilized, now spends a lot of his spare time in mathematics, although the results of the rest of the individual subjects can be ranked in the top few in the class, but because the results of mathematics are 'lame', the total score of the last monthly exam is only ranked in the upper middle of the class.
Xiao Ran, who has no talent and can only rely on hard work to achieve good results, opens his eyes every day, either endorsing or doing questions, so that he and the same table that has been sitting together for almost two months is stunned that there are not even ten sentences of words. Xiao Ran's tablemate is called Liu Rongrong, a girl who wears glasses and loves to laugh. Her grades in all subjects are quite stable, ranking more than a dozen in the class, similar to Xiao Ran, she is either reading books or doing problems every day, in short, they are very busy with each other.
When Guan Xue came to the class to find Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran was doing English short reading. Standing in the corridor and seeing Guan Xue, Xiao Ran suddenly realized that she hadn't seen Guan Xue for almost two months since the start of school. and Zhou Qingxuan can often meet, but Guan Xue doesn't live in school, and she leaves early after school, so it is indeed difficult for Xiao Ran to meet her at school. Xiao Ran said to Guan Xue with some emotion: "Squad leader, I haven't seen you for so long, do you miss me?"
Guan Xue didn't tease back as usual, pulled Xiao Ran's arm, and her voice was a little low: "Xiao Ran, has my brother been in contact with you recently?"
When Xiao Ran heard this, he estimated the time, shook his head and said, "No, I still sent me an email when school started, as if I was going to take two months off, almost around the end of this month, I should be able to go back to school, right?"
Guan Xue looked at the small garden downstairs in silence and did not answer. Seeing this, Xiao Ran paused slightly in his heart and said softly, "Did something happen?"
Guan Xue: "I haven't been able to contact my brother, so I called my uncle, but he always refused to make it clear to me, so I will call my aunt today." I heard from my aunt that my brother had just gone abroad for the summer vacation and didn't know when he would come back, so I came to ask you to see if he had contacted you. ”
Xiao Ran listened quietly, didn't make a sound, and nodded after a while, and said, "Oh, are you going abroad?" Okay, I know." It's almost class, so let's go back to the classroom first. ”
"Xiao Ran, I don't think it's possible for my brother to go abroad suddenly, even if he is abroad, he won't be able to contact him all the time, and it's impossible not to even talk to you. He must be hiding something from us, but I just can't figure out what the hell is going on?!"
Xiao Ran took Guan Xue's hand and comforted: "Don't worry, he will come back." Wait until the end of the month, he emailed that he would be back at the end of the month, and I believe him. ”
Hearing this, Guan Xue also nodded and said, "Okay, if you get in touch, I'll tell you as soon as possible, then I'll go back." ”
Xiao Ran: "Well, let's go back, class is about to be." ”
After Guan Xue left, Xiao Ran sat in his seat and was a little distracted, although he was very firm when he talked to Guan Xue, Xiao Ran was still a little uncertain in his heart. went abroad during the summer vacation, so Xia Chenxuan has been abroad for almost four months. And for two months during the summer vacation, Xiao Ran has been in contact with him, and the contact was temporarily interrupted after the start of school, what is the matter? Xiao Ran sighed secretly: If ...... If Xia Chenxuan doesn't come back abroad, Xiao Ran, Xiao Ran, will you feel sorry? The answer should be yes, right?!
As another monthly exam approached, Xiao Ran's heart began to feel uneasy, in addition to being a little worried about the math exam, as the deadline set by Xia Chenxuan to come back was getting closer and closer, Xiao Ran's heart began to be uncertain inexplicably. At the end of the monthly exam, when the school was on holiday for two days, Xia Chenxuan did not come back; after the holiday, when he returned to school to start classes, Xia Chenxuan did not come back; until the weather was getting colder and colder, and the monthly exam was approaching again, Xia Chenxuan still did not come back. Walking out of the examination room again, Xiao Ran looked at the fallen leaves rustling by the wind, and was stunned.
Xiao Ran has been in a daze more times recently, obviously more than before. Although Guan Xue and Zhou Qingxuan didn't say anything, Xiao Ran knew that they were afraid that she would be unhappy, so they often took time out to accompany her. Xiao Ran rubbed his temples, which were a little swollen, and decided to go back to the dormitory after eating something, and have a good rest tonight. After staying alone for a long time, some strange thoughts will inevitably pop up in my head, Xiao Ran doesn't plan to go home this time, just have fun in the city for two days.
When I returned to the dormitory, I happened to meet Siyan who came to look for her and go home with her. Siyan is still the same as before, she chose science and was divided into four classes. told Siyan that he planned not to go home, and sent Siyan to the platform, and Xiao Ran went back to the dormitory to take a shower and sleep. The phrase 'go to bed early and get up early is good' is really true, Xiao Ran got up the next day, and he felt radiant and full of energy. Afraid that Guan Xue hadn't gotten up yet, Xiao Ran read the book for a while, and called Guan Xue at nearly ten o'clock. made an appointment to go shopping and eat together, and Xiao Ran followed Guan Xue to have fun for two days.
Guan Xue was originally very fun-loving, and took Xiao Ran to play in the streets and alleys, and on the first day, they could go shopping together, eat snacks, and watch movies or something. The next day, Guan Xue was not satisfied, she hadn't found time to have fun for a long time. Since Xia Chenxuan was away, her mother had been very strict with her, and she was finally able to find an excuse to get out of the 'clutches' for two days, she naturally couldn't let go of this good opportunity, and pulled Xiao Ran to the game hall, and the two of them spent a whole day inside. Xiao Ran doesn't care, anyway, it's all about playing, it's just relaxation for her, not to mention, seeing Guan Xue so happy, she also feels a lot more cheerful.
When the two walked out of the arcade, it was getting dark. Xiao Ran rejected Guan Xue's offer to send her back to school, urging Guan Xue to hurry home. It's not dark and it's not very far from school, so why don't you let Guan Xue send her back to school and then go home in the dark? Isn't that a joke!
Xiao Ran took a shortcut back to school, passed through a small alley, and when he was about to reach school, Xiao Ran's footsteps stopped. looked around, pretended to squat down to tie his shoes, touched half a brick from the ground and held it in his hand, got up and walked quickly towards the alley. As soon as Xiao Ran walked fast, the footsteps behind him were obviously faster, and when he was about to reach the alley, Xiao Ran was intercepted by a wave of people who appeared at the alley. Stopped, leaned against the wall reflexively, glanced at the people who were outflanking left and right, and when he saw one of them, Xiao Ran was a little surprised: "Fang Tingyu, why are you?"
Fang Tingyu sneered: "Why can't it be me?" Yo, I thought I was wrong in the game hall, it turned out to be really you!" Fang Tingyu said, glanced at the half of the brick she held in her hand, and said sarcastically: "I knew that you looked like a good student, and you must have pretended it on purpose." Do you know that Xia Chenxuan is gone and won't come back, and no one will see you no matter how you pretend, so you don't even bother to pretend now?"
Xiao Ran looked at her for a moment, and said slowly, "How do you know that Xia Chenxuan is not coming back?"
Fang Tingyu snorted coldly, and said a little arrogantly: "I naturally know that if I plan to come back, I won't see anyone for so long?" I warned you a long time ago, stay away from him, he didn't take you to heart, you just don't believe it, now you know, right?"
Xiao Ran smiled when he heard this: "Your imagination is so rich. ”
Fang Tingyu was a little annoyed: "Don't think I'll let you go today, I feel disgusted when I see your pretentious expression." As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped Xiao Ran.
Xiao Ran turned his head to dodge, took advantage of the gap between Fang Tingyu's palm, dragged her backhand, pressed her against the wall, aimed the brick in his hand at her forehead, quickly leaned sideways against the wall, to prevent another sneak attack, and then said to a few people who were about to rush up: "Don't move! Look clearly, my brick is not just bleeding, after all, this brick is also very close to the face." ”
Fang Tingyu suddenly panicked and shouted loudly: "Xiao Ran, you dare!"
Xiao Ran looked at her, the brick moved down slightly, his eyes narrowed, and he smiled: "Or, let's try?"
"No, don't, don't move! Xiao Ran, I was wrong, I beg you not to do this. Fang Tingyu said, tears had already fallen. After all, she is just a teenage girl, and compared with Xiao Ran, who has been alone in society for nearly ten years, she is still a little bluffing.
As soon as she shouted, the two sides immediately fell into a stalemate.
