Chapter 1 The New Era of Cohabitation

Beijing Baiyun Middle School is a six-year experimental middle school, founded in 16 years, learning from the Western education system from the classroom and farming, small class system, paperless teaching, edutainment, to cultivate students' independence and creativity to the greatest extent. Of course, "to be able to come to this school also have to bear high tuition and miscellaneous fees, not to mention others, a Huayi Polaris ultra-thin ink true color computer costs more than 20,000 yuan, which is just one of the most basic tool costs at the beginning of enrollment."

Wang Dong is a student in the third class of the second year of high school in Baiyun Middle School, his family is poor, belongs to the subsidized students, Baiyun Middle School belongs to Huayi Group, its annual enrollment has 100 subsidized students, tuition and miscellaneous fees are free, it is a move to give back to the society.

Baiyun Middle School has an excellent environment, with modern electronic teaching buildings, laboratory buildings, comprehensive gymnasiums and other facilities.

At seven o'clock in the morning, before the first class began, the classroom was quiet, except for a few people who whispered poetry questions, "Most of them were looking through the materials they were interested in on the computer."

The two female classmates behind Wang Dong were discussing physical and chemical problems, how to make a simple timed bomb with some daily necessities that can be bought in the supermarket, Wang Dong was a little helpless, although the purely academic theories seemed to be serious, but if I really asked these two girls to do it, I was afraid that my legs would be weak in fright.

"Dangdang" The table was knocked gently, Wang Dong raised his head, a handsome and almost somewhat bewitching handsome young man stood in front of his desk with a smile, Wang Dong's heart skipped a beat, even in a dream, Wang Dong was often frightened by this face to wake up, his name was Gao Qiang, and it was the shadow that always pressed on Wang Dong's heart.

Since the first grade of high school and Gao Qiang were assigned to a class, Wang Dong began nightmarish days, every day to help him with the bed stacked by running errands, and from time to time he was teased, especially on weekends, Gao Qiang likes to take Wang Dong out to play, and a group of friends to tease Wang Dong for fun" Once, Gao Qiang touched the butt of a fashionable girl in the elevator" forced Wang Dong to admit that he touched it, causing Wang Dong to be beaten and almost sent out of the office, and this is not the most outrageous.

Although Baiyun Middle School has strict rules and regulations, and Gao Qiang should be expelled for what he has done, Wang Dong, who has been poor since he was a child, has never believed that the world is unfair, and he does not believe that Gao Qiang, the son of a southern tycoon, will be expelled from school. What's more, Gao Qiang is not ordinary smart, he is the first in the grade in every exam, of course, that was before "she" came.

Seeing Gao Qiang's eyes, Wang Dong sighed softly in his heart and looked at a desk by the window.

The desk sat a picturesque girl, with her hair held up high and two good-looking crescent moons, just like a beautiful girl in a comic, plus a creamy yellow student uniform, white cotton socks, and black leather shoes.

She just transferred after the winter vacation this year, her name is Han Xue, a southerner, and she speaks Mandarin very well, but unfortunately she doesn't like to talk very much, and she has been transferring for more than two months, and she doesn't pay attention to her classmates. But as soon as she transferred to another school, she quickly snatched away all of Gao Qiang's top titles, and quickly became the dream lover of many boys in Baiyun Middle School. Gao Qiang was even more infatuated with her, and he had already put down his words, this was his future wife, and whoever dared to rob him of him would take his life.

Han Xue doesn't live in school, everything about her seems to be a mystery, Gao Qiang has asked people to follow her several times to see if he can find out where she lives, but every time in the end, it seems that people have been lost. I only know that she has a silver dragon sports car, and the model just launched this year costs more than two million.

This is another snail explosive news, although Baiyun Middle School has a lot of rich children, but after all, they are all high school students, not to mention that their parents can send them here, they all have great expectations for them, and there are few arrogant children, just like Gao Qiang's family business is a significant consortium in the south, but he was sent to Baiyun Middle School by his grandfather, not only to let him live in the school, but also to give him only the necessary living expenses every month. is also a southerner, obviously Han Xue and his situation are very different. This also made Gao Qiang's interest in her even stronger.

"Go" Seeing that Wang Dong was still sitting motionless, Gao Qiang's face was gloomy.

Wang Dong is also in his youth, full of throbbing and hazy feelings, how can he not want to leave a good impression in the eyes of a girl like Han Xue" But Gao Qiang's threatening gaze made him dare not hesitate anymore, stood up, and prepared to send Gao Qiang's "love letter" to Han Xue.

The door suddenly opened, and the head teacher wearing glasses walked in, and behind him was a delicate and quiet teenager.

The head teacher clapped his hands and said, "Students, let me introduce you, this is a new classmate in our class, named Tang Ning" Because of the transfer of his parents, he just came back from the United States, Tang Ning" You introduce yourself to the students. Let's use English, our school has been in the first grade since the first grade. We also encourage everyone to communicate in English. ”

Everyone's eyes looked over, and the young man named Tang Ning smiled slightly and said, "Hello everyone, I am very happy to be classmates with you, I hope we will get along happily in the future." "But what is surprising is that he speaks the authentic Chinese.

Wang Dong immediately had a good impression of this handsome young man, and he had seen too many people who came back from abroad and showed their elegant style in foreign languages, which was really annoying.

Gao Qiang snorted coldly, "The returnees are flooded, spoken English, can he speak?" "I don't know why, from the first time I saw this handsome young man, Gao Qiang didn't have a good impression of him.

Today's physical education class is a basketball activity, and Gao Qiang, as the main member of the school team, naturally made a big show and performed a violent dunk in the crowd of several girls, causing several high-decibel screams.

The basketball court environment of Baiyun Gymnasium is excellent, with a light floor, a fiberglass basketball stand, and a sense of movement under bright lights.

"Horn" Gao Qiang suddenly threw the ball to the sidelines, as if he was watching the lively Tang Ning, and shouted! "Hey, come and play?"

The boys and girls on the sidelines are applauded, and they are young and miss the years.

"I don't think so." What everyone didn't expect was that the handsome boy who had just transferred to another school smiled and threw Lian back. Several male and female classmates who were better with Gao Qiang booed, but he didn't seem to be embarrassed, so he simply admitted defeat and said with a smile: "You played very well." ”

Many of the male and female high school students who were expecting someone to overshadow Gao Qiang's limelight also showed a look of contempt for him, originally, from the first moment he entered the classroom, it was eye-catching, and he always felt that this transferred teenager was a little different, who knew that in the face of Gao Qiang's provocation, he admitted defeat without any resistance.

This little episode did not attract Wang Dong's attention, his eyes kept rolling on Gao Qiang, he felt a little uncomfortable and a little afraid, but there was no way, his father was hospitalized and urgently needed a sum of money, and now only Gao Qiang and self-esteem can help him? It's cheap for him now, and all he's afraid of now is Gao Qiang's unwillingness to help him.

Finally, Gao Qiang came down from the basketball court, took the white towel handed by others to wipe his sweat, Wang Dong walked over quickly, and asked in a low voice: "I, what about me?" He looked at Gao Qiang worriedly, as if he was on a roller coaster, helpless and frightened, if Gao Qiang didn't help him, what would his father do?

Gao Qiang glanced at him, frowned, and said, "What's the matter?" ”

"I, I told you yesterday." Wang Dong said anxiously.

"Ah, that's it, I said I don't have any money, and besides, I can't do some small things if I ask you to do some small things, why should I help you?" Gao Qiang's words made Wang Dong fall into an ice cave, stunned, and speechless.

"Downing! You really don't know how to play basketball! Wang Dong found out that Gao Qiang was running for the new transfer students, and the two had already walked to the transfer students' side.

"Yes, not really." Tang Ning's smile was very beautiful, but it made Gao Qiang's heart uncomfortable again.

"And how are you doing in your studies?" Gao Qiang always felt that this transfer student was a threat, so he asked without stopping.

Tang Ning said honestly: "I can barely pass mathematics, but it's okay to have a foreign language, humanities, philosophy or something." ”

Gao Qiang didn't know what Tang Ning's "passing, okay" meant, but his heart relaxed suddenly, he was a sports idiot, and his grades in cultural classes were not good, so he was naturally far from his opponent.

"Han Xue." Suddenly, I caught a glimpse of Han Xue, who was dressed in a white sportswear, walking by, and the high-strength ghost said hello to him, but the result can be imagined, Han Xue walked by as if she had not heard of it.

Gao Qiang laughed dryly twice and said to Tang Ning: "See? The dream girl of our boys in the school talked to me. ”

Tang Ning smiled, not squeaking.

A few boys who were close to me were disdainful, but they just transferred to a school and asked for directions, or asked the girls next to you, is that also called talking to you?

The electronic bell rang at the end of the last class in the afternoon, Wang Dong quickly went out of the classroom, in front of the magnificent school gate, Wang Dong stood still, pleaded with Gao Qiang for a long time in physical education class, and finally Gao Qiang was annoyed, turned his face and scolded himself, the money still did not borrow, what if he went to the hospital?

Although my sister and brother-in-law have always had to worry about themselves, where did they go to borrow such a large amount of money?

Hesitant and helpless, Wang Dong walked along the school courtyard wall in a daze, not knowing where he was going.

"Wang Dong, you don't have to borrow money." Gentle voice, Wang Dong was slightly stunned, turned his head, and found that he didn't know when Tang Ning was standing beside him.

"I'm not following you, I'm waiting for someone to get a car." Tang Ning explained, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your **, I was next to you when you were talking to Gao Qiang." ”

Wang Dong smiled bitterly, what is this matter of his own?

"Your father should have health insurance, right?" Tang Ning asked a little puzzled, even in rural areas, everyone now has medical insurance, and the maximum payment limit for medical insurance is gradually increasing.

Wang Dong sighed and said: "My dad has a malignant tumor, and he went to be reimbursed, and the family can't afford it, not to mention the cost of hospitalization, surgery and other expenses have to be paid in advance." ”

Tang Ning sighed, thought for a while, and said: "Then you can take out a loan, Huayi Fund You know, in fact, according to your grades, and you can be specially recruited by Baiyun Middle School, you can apply for a loan from Huayi Fund, and you will repay it in installments after you graduate from college." ”

Wang Dong's eyes lit up, and he said suspiciously: "Is it okay?" ”

"Yes, as long as the information you provide is true, it is definitely possible, and they are also very efficient, and it will take up to three working days to verify your information."

Tang Ning looked at his watch and said, "That's it, I'll accompany you to consult today and see what materials need to be prepared." Its branch reception department generally works until 10 p.m. ”

Wang Dong was still a little hesitant, but after listening to what Tang Ning said, he seemed to be very familiar with this fund, and the glimmer of hope in his heart gradually swelled up, and he almost couldn't hold it back, and said: "Okay, then trouble you, really" Thank you very much." ”

Tang Ning shook his head and said, "I hope I can help you and uncle." ”

Wang Dong was silent.

A silver sports car came galloping, stopped with a "quack", and in the driver's seat of the convertible, Han Xue was dressed in a milky yellow student uniform and a snow-white plush ear bag, innocent and messy.

Wang Dong was stunned, and when he was still wondering why Han Xue parked, he saw that Tang Ning had already opened the door and got into the car, and smiled to himself: "Come up, sit in the back." ”

"Huh?" Wang Dong was startled and looked at Han Xue, but saw that Han Xue was taking out a beautiful ear bag for Tang Ning to put on, and said in his mouth: "Run with an open top, blow your ears." That gentle demeanor almost made Wang Dong's eyes fall out.

Wang Dong got into the car stupidly, but heard Tang Ning say in front of him: "Go to Huayi Fund at that point on Hengyang Road." ”

The sports car started immediately, galloped out of the reception room, Wang Dong's haze in his heart had been swept away, and he told him about his situation, and listened to the staff who received him say that as long as the information provided was sufficient, he had great hope of being able to borrow money.

Tang Ning sat on the long soft chair next to the corridor of the corridor, Han Xue had just taken the paper cup in his hand, walked a few steps quickly, and threw it into the trash can.

Wang Dong looked at this scene in surprise, he really couldn't guess what kind of relationship Tang Ning and Han Xue was.

"Let's go, I'll send you back to school first." Tang Ning stood up with a smile and said, "It seems that the result is very good, so I won't ask." ”

Wang Dong didn't say anything more, looking at Tang Ning's smiling face, his throat was a little dry.

The pastoral community near Baiyun Middle School is a modern green ecological community with an elegant environment and pleasant scenery.

From the floor-to-ceiling windows of the restaurant, the colorful musical fountains of the pastoral community are even more hazy and charming under the night light.

On the table, steak foie gras "Western-style refreshments."

Downing forked a small nose of foie gras and put it in his mouth, and then smiled: "It tastes good." ”

Han Xue, who was sitting opposite, changed into a fashionable snow-white casual suit, which was even more delicate.

Tang Ning glanced at Han Xue, and said with a smile: "Han Xue, it stands to reason that if you do this business, the more inconspicuous the better, okay?" What about you, "You're too famous in school, aren't you?" ”

Han Xue is the same age as Tang Ning, theoretically Tang Ning's bodyguard, as the only son of the No. 1 chief, Tang Ning should have been protected by the Central Guard Bureau, but in order not to affect Tang Ning's daily life, basically Tang Ning has been trained by the security department of Huatou Group elite guards over the years. Han Xue's father is a master of martial arts, "She has loved martial arts since she was a child, and at the age of seven, she entered the juvenile class of the security department of Huayi Group, and she is also the top dumpling in the class. Before Tang Ning returned to China, she was selected to enter Baiyun Middle School as a front station, becoming Tang Ning's classmate, and at the same time responsible for protecting Tang Ning and taking care of Tang Ning's daily life. Similarly, she also has a relationship with the Central Security Bureau, "After all, if you don't have a relationship with the Security Bureau, it will be very troublesome to use guns and equipment."

Han Xue smiled, her big eyes bent into a crescent shape, which was even more cute, "Da Wen is hidden in the court, I am like this, no one would have thought that I am a bodyguard, right?" ”

Tang Ning smiled: "That's too."

After eating, Tang Ning came to the living room to look through some information, while Han Xue was busy in the restaurant.

On the television screen was a talk show with Rear Admiral Zhang Minchang, captain of the South China Sea Fleet's USS Mir, who had just returned from a visit to Vietnam.

The Mir was officially commissioned in the South China Sea Fleet a few years ago, and was the first aircraft carrier to be released from the South China Sea, and its birth once caused a sensation in the world's public opinion, but in the past few years, European, American, and Southeast Asian countries have had to silently accept the increasingly powerful existence of the Liberation Army in the South China Sea.

"On Saturdays and Sundays, I can only go to Mai Yan to work part-time." Tang Ning flipped through the newspaper and shook his head helplessly.

Han Xue washed her hands, helped Tang Ning make a cup of fragrant coffee, and asked a little strangely, "Are you going to work?" ”

Tang Ning smiled: "Do it yourself, have enough food and clothing." I have to worry about my own living expenses. ”

Han Xue was even more strange and said, "Then you don't have to do this kind of work, right?" ”

For Tang Ning, the target of his protection, Han Xue can say that he knows a lot, a real genius, the six-year primary school course only took three years to skip a grade to study, and then went to the United States to study, as if he has now obtained a bachelor's degree in political science from Harvard University in the United States, but after he returned to China, he began to study in the second year of high school according to his age, as if it was requested by himself and his father, saying that it was "learning to integrate into society".

But even if you have to work to support yourself, you don't have to work as a part-time worker in a fast food restaurant at all, if nothing else, Downing was one of the hottest writers for Newsweek under the pseudonym Peter when he was in the United States, and the manuscript fee for any article was enough for him to "have enough food and clothing".

Tang Ning knew what Han Xue meant, so he smiled and said, "That's different, people, you have to know what hard work is." After thinking about it, he smiled and said: "I will earn the money for buying vegetables in the future", even if you eat bran vegetables, you are not allowed to pay out of pocket. "Sigh," but if you want to eat steak and foie gras in the future, it's difficult." ”

Han Xue pursed her lips and smiled and nodded.

Yesterday was the first time she and Tang Ning met" There is no doubt that she is full of curiosity about this proud son of heaven, and she is even more worried that he is not easy to get along with, thinking about his illustrious family background, the legendary rich resources of the country, not to mention that he himself is a genius among geniuses, incomparably excellent. In front of him, "Han Xue relied on his confidence to be unable to take anything at all", but it seemed that he had become a rough man who could only wield knives and guns. So the first meeting introduced by Mr. Qi yesterday, not only did she not say much, but Han Xue also nervously broke the water cup, and cried for the first time in her life after going back.

But at the end of the day today, Han Xue found that Tang Ning not only got along very well, but also seemed to be born with an affinity, which made people want to get close to him, especially when he said that "he will earn the money to buy vegetables in the future, and eat bran vegetables", which makes people feel an indescribable gentle taste in their hearts.

"Okay, students, please fill in your ballot carefully, and learn to be responsible for your actions." On the podium," the head teacher, Mr. Li, said with a smile.

The summer vacation is approaching, according to the convention, this semester to select "outstanding volunteers, Baiyun Middle School implements quality education, and organizes students to do volunteers at a fixed time every semester" to cultivate students' awareness of social morality.

As for the "outstanding volunteers" selected by the class, they will have the opportunity to study at Huayi Foundation during the holidays, and they will also leave a lot of marks on their files, especially if they hope to work in Huasu Group after graduating from university, according to legend, this experience will add a lot of impression points.

"Tangning, what do you want to say?" When Teacher Li saw Tang Ning suddenly raise his hand, he smiled and gestured. The eyes of the classmates all looked over, and they were all a little surprised, although it has been more than two months since Tang Ning transferred to the school, he has never talked much, except for "Wei Dong" who circles around him all day long, it seems that he doesn't have any friends.

"Teacher, I think the selection system for outstanding volunteers is not perfect." Tang Ning's first sentence surprised everyone.

Mr. Li's face did not change, and the school also encouraged students to express their opinions, and he smiled and said, "Why is it not perfect?" ”

Tang Ning said: "I just checked the information, and the outstanding volunteer in our class last year was Gao Qiang, and I don't think he is qualified enough. ”

There was a buzz in the classroom, and everyone began to talk about it, and Gao Qiang's face was even more ugly.

Downing said to himself: "Volunteering is a kind of dedication to society and cultivating the spirit of serving the people. Good volunteers can't be judged by just the few hours we do as volunteers. As for Gao Qiang, as far as I know, he bullied his classmates, got into fights, occupied the practice field and did not use it for other classmates, and once punctured that classmate's bicycle tire because a classmate provoked him. There are a lot of such things, and his behavior and excellent volunteers seem to be in the opposite direction, right? And according to the school rules, it seems that he should also be expelled. ”

The sound of discussion in the classroom became louder and louder, and Gao Qiangtie stood up with a blushing face, but when he saw Teacher Li looking over, he thought about it and sat down with anger.

As a result of the selection, Gao Qiang lost to Wang Dong by one vote, and when Mr. Li announced the results, Gao Qiang's face was ugly.

When the bell rang for the end of class, and as soon as Teacher Li walked out of the classroom, Gao Qiang walked quickly in front of Tang Ning, looked at Tang Ning viciously, and said, "Tang Ning, what do you mean?!" ”

Tang Ning smiled: "It's not interesting, what I said is the truth." ”

"You're looking for you to death" Gao Qiang stretched out his hand to drag Tang Ning, and several classmates wanted to fight, but when they saw Gao Qiang's fierce and vicious appearance, their hearts beat drums.

"Oops" Gao Qiang suddenly screamed, but he didn't know when, Han Xue stood beside Tang Ning! Grabbing Gao Qiang's wrist with one hand and exerting a slight force, Gao Qiang screamed miserably and turned his back and bowed downward.

Han Xue looked at him coldly, and as soon as his hand shook, Gao Qiang staggered out again with a painful cry, and then turned his head to look at Han Xue who was doing it, with various expressions of anger, fear, and shame on his face, and his brain was also blank.

"If you dare to move your hands and feet, you won't see the sun tomorrow!" Han Xue stood proudly, I don't know why, her words made a chill rise in the hearts of the onlookers, as if she could say it, she could do it.

Tang Ning looked at Han Xue helplessly, and whispered, "I don't necessarily can't beat him." ”

Han Xue heard it clearly, she couldn't help but smile when her face was full of frost, like flowers blooming, very cute, "You, you want to hit people too?" Leave it to us to be rough people. ”

Watching Tang Ning and Han Xue walk out of the classroom side by side, after being quiet for a while, the classroom exploded, Wang Dong became the focus of attention, everyone gathered around him to ask what the relationship between Han Xue and Tang Ning was, Wang Dong didn't know what to ask and kept silent.

The silver sports car was speeding through the streets of the capital, and Tang Ning's phone rang, and he looked at the number, it was Aunt Qi Jie.

"Did the school disappoint you? There is no way, it is said to be quality teaching, but in China, you must always take your time. "Yang said that although Baiyun Middle School belongs to Huayi Group, even if this matter in the school is turned upside down, it will not bother President Qi, but Tang Ning transferred to Baiyun, and Qi Jie will naturally pay attention to it.

Tang Ning was a little embarrassed, scratched his head, and said, "Auntie, have you been in trouble?" ”

"No, your father also knows, laughing, saying that you are better than him." Aunt Qi Jie said with a smile.

Laughed? Tang Ning breathed a sigh of relief, his father was a mountain in his mind, a sea, and a model of life, and it was his happiest moment to get a little recognition from his father.

Some people may think that it is unfortunate to be born in such a family, the time to get together with their parents since they were young is limited, and the brilliance of their parents is the shadow and pressure of their children, but Tang Ning has never felt this way, he only hopes that his efforts will not disappoint his parents.

"Mr. Qi?" Seeing that Tang Ning hung up the phone, Han Shuang asked.

Tang Ning nodded with a smile, thought about it, and said, "Go to Yichun Garden." ”

Han Xue was stunned and stammered: "Did the chief secretary tell you to go home?" "Zhongnanhai Yichun Garden, Han Xue knows what it is.

Tang Ning smiled: "What are you afraid of?" I don't know what time Dad will come back in the evening. Forget it, let's go to Miaoshan, I'll call the eldest sister and the second girl, and go home to see them, I miss them.

Han Xue nodded lightly and said, "Then, then I'll send you home and go back, I, I won't go in." ”

Tang Ning said helplessly: "Whatever you want, alas, Sanya is in Hong Kong, or call it back, then the little girl and the second girl are funny together, there are a lot of ghost ideas for the two little girls." ”

Han Xue didn't know what the relationship between the eldest girl and the third girl in Tang Ning's mouth was with him, only that Mr. Qi's daughter seemed to be the second girl in Tang Ning's mouth.

"Huh?" Tang Ning held the phone and smiled while clicking on the screen: "Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive." ”

In the video screen, a little girl wearing a junior high school uniform with a cute and invincible smile on her face, it was Erya "Brother, are you in Beijing?" ”

"Yes, what's wrong?"

The little girl screamed happily: "Ah, great, hurry up and save your lovely sister, someone is pursuing me again, come on, I will tell them to see what my boyfriend is like?" To hell with their wolf ambitions! ”

Tang Ning reprimanded funny: "What does the little hairy girl know how to chase or not?" ”

Erya had a bitter face, and poor Baba didn't know what he was muttering about.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Ning smiled and said to Han Xue: "Go to Thirty-Seven Middle School." ”

Han Xue smiled, if she had such a lovely sister, she would definitely be very precious.
