Chapter 1: Serendipity
The weather in July is still hot and dry.
Blue sky and white clouds, clear sky. Bursts of heat hit the sky, and people felt as if they were in a huge steamer.
K City.
The first vocational high school, the new students opened.
At half past nine in the morning, the school gate was already bustling and crowded, and all kinds of cars, motorcycles, electric cars, etc. were parked on the side. Parents walked slowly to the campus under the leadership of students carrying large bags and heavy luggage.
Among this crowd, there is a teenager, about 1.73 meters tall, wearing a white T-shirt, black slim pants, and a pair of white sneakers. He is thin and thin, sixteen years old, but he has a young face that does not match his age, and he looks like he is twelve or thirteen years old in the eyes of ordinary people. He was sweating alone without his parents, carrying a large bag of bedding in his left hand and a suitcase of clothes in his right hand, panting towards the campus.
"Damn, it's too late, it's estimated that you have to wait for half a day to go through the enrollment procedures, I knew that there were so many people and came early"
The boy thought indignantly as he walked.
"Li Sheng!" Just as he was thinking about it, a thunderous cry suddenly sounded behind him. A hand coldly patted the young man's left shoulder, and the young man heard his name called, and slowly turned his head to the left with some confusion. found that there was no one, and immediately felt that he had been tricked, and hurriedly turned his head to look to the right.
A hippie smile is looking at him with a smile, this person is not tall, about 1.65 meters, and he is relatively obese, especially the small face that squeezes his eyes straight up, and his eyes are small enough to be short-sighted, and his eyes are even more narrowed into a line.
The person in front of him, Li Sheng felt very familiar, and suddenly remembered that it was Tian Xin, a classmate in the second year of junior high school, although the two were not at the same table, but at the front and back tables, Tian Xin's math scores were very good, but the language was a mess, often lost, every time he lost his book or a pen, and the same table was a cold-eyed bystander, so he had to borrow things from time to time from the enthusiastic Li Sheng at the front table, Li Sheng always took the trouble to lend him, Tian Xin had a good impression of Li Sheng, Sometimes Li Sheng will ask Tian Xin for advice when he encounters difficulties in doing math problems, because Li Sheng and Tian Xin's grades are diametrically opposed, the language is very good, and every time the mathematics exam is miserable, unsightly, I remember one time, the school held a midterm exam, Li Sheng, who was originally poor in mathematics, was unfortunate to play abnormally when he took this subject, after the exam, he sent down the math paper, Li Sheng still couldn't wait to see it, it was called a miserable, the volume was full of big red x, and it was hard to see a check number, excited, look carefully, It turned out to be a combination of a pair sign and an x_ half a pair sign! I couldn't help but be disappointed for a while, I didn't need to look at the results, I could guess it. Every time, I can only ask Tian Xin for advice without shame
The two of you come and go, help each other, and over time, the relationship gradually becomes intimate, which can be said to be like glue, and the two have no guesses. I can't believe that such a linguistic overlord and a math genius really don't know how they could become friends. However, both of them are seriously biased in this aspect is quite similar, when Li Sheng was promoted to the ninth grade, he was separated from Tian Xin, and later due to study tension. I didn't have much contact with actively preparing for the high school entrance examination, and I didn't expect to meet in this place, which was really a coincidence of fate.
At that moment, Li Sheng was a little excited, and said:
"Chubby, such a coincidence! Long time no see" This little fat is Tian Xin's nickname, because of the fat time in junior high school, so his classmates gave him such a nickname.
"yes, long time no see, I miss it so much! Brother Sheng, since the high school entrance examination, you have not heard from you, and your mobile phone calls are all bursting or you can't get through, what are you doing? Chubby Flim said with a glam.
"Something happened at home, it's a long story, it's too hot here, why don't we go in together first, and we'll talk about it later, your parents are still waiting at the door" Li Sheng said anxiously.
"Okay, by the way, why didn't you see your parents, did you come by yourself?" Xiaopang looked behind me Li Sheng and asked suspiciously.
"I came by myself as a bus," Li Sheng said as if he was a little decadent.
"What? How did the dignified rich second generation become so simple, didn't they all pick up BMW Mercedes-Benz before? Chubby asked Li Sheng jokingly.
"Let's go in first" Li Sheng's voice was a little low, as if begging Tian Xin not to ask again.
"Alright, let's go"
The sky was scorching, and the heat flow from the sun did not decrease by half a minute. After a sigh of embarrassment, the two walked slowly into the campus.
The two dragged their luggage to the door of the teaching office, which was crowded with people, all of whom were paying tuition fees and going through the enrollment procedures. There were also quite a few people queuing outside the door. Xiaopang wiped the beads of sweat oozing from his forehead, and said to Li Sheng:
"It's hot! With so many people, it won't be done until the Year of the Monkey. ”
Li Sheng spread his hands and said helplessly: "No way, wait patiently"
"Why did you come to this school, you couldn't have been abducted by the trap, right?" Chubby was idle and bored, and asked Li Sheng curiously.
"I failed the high school entrance examination, and I had to come to this garbage vocational school because of my serious bias, where the tuition fee is low and the cost is not so high," Li Sheng replied.
"Aren't you going to go to a senior high school, you have sports expertise, and if you pay more money to dredge up the relationship, you won't come to this school." Chubby asked.
Li Sheng let out a long sigh after hearing this, looking at the clear blue sky with a melancholy expression.
"Is there a problem at home? If there is anything you say, as long as there is something that needs my help, I will do my best. Chubby looked at him and whispered.
After listening to Xiaopang's words, Li Sheng's eyes were a little moist, and after a long time, he said, "My dad was doing a good business, but somehow he became obsessed with stock speculation, and then the stock market fell sharply and my dad lost all his property, and the company went bankrupt, and the family is now poor." Dad gets drunk every day, and my mom washes her face with tears every day."
"So I had to work in a restaurant during the holidays, and borrowed money from relatives to make up for the tuition, and I was good to be able to come here to study."
"How so? Then you will come to me to borrow money if you are short of money in the future, and I will definitely help you if you have any difficulties. Chubby looked at Li Sheng sympathetically and said.
In fact, Xiaopang's family is not rich, only a low-class family. When I was in junior high school, there were four kiosks next to the campus toilets, which were frequented by students. There is everything in it, but the most sold is miscellaneous snacks, Li Sheng often takes Xiaopang to buy something to eat, Xiaopang also buys a few, he is generous to help Xiaopang pay every time. When he needs money urgently, Li Sheng will also lend it to Xiaopang.
This time Li Sheng's family encountered such a big difficulty, Xiaopang recalled the previous kindness, and of course it was incumbent on him to help him get through the difficulties.
"Okay, it's our turn, let's go in" Li Sheng interrupted Chubby's memories with a sentence.
The two went into the office.
