At the flag-raising ceremony on Monday morning, Ning Chaoxi was notified that she was going to wait behind the rostrum at seven o'clock, she went to the playground, and the student director who was in charge of the presiding over went through the process with her.

"Don't be in a hurry later, I'll read your name and then come to the stage from here." The director pointed down the steps behind him.

"Okay." Ning Chaoxi pretended to be calm and replied, in fact, her heart was so nervous, she was so big, it was the first time she gave a speech in front of thousands of people! Or her own essay, inexplicably a kind of shame. Shame is all about.

After the director explained to her, she went to the front to communicate with the flag-raiser, and she stood alone in the back, holding the manuscript tightly in her hand, closing her eyes and reciting the lines that she was going to give a speech on stage later: "Dear teachers, dear students, good morning, everyone......"

I was so anxious that my feet kept standing still, and even my hands trembled.

The entrance music of the flag-raising ceremony sounded, and Ning Chaoxi couldn't say anything when she heard this voice, and the respected teacher read it as a respected classmate, she had a bitter face, obviously she had spoken very smoothly before, but today there was a mistake on the spot.

When the students of each class entered the playground through the small doors on both sides, they could see a girl standing behind the stage, holding a blank piece of paper in her hand, with her head down and her eyes closed, standing in place and stomping her feet.

Feng Lulu and Jiang Ke saw Ning Chaoxi when they entered the venue through the small door on the left, and when they saw her like this, Jiang Ke was worried: "Is it okay to do it every day?" ”

"If you can't do it, you have to do it, this is what the school leader personally requested." Feng Lulu said, "Let's hurry up, don't wait for her to see us in a while, and the pressure will be even greater." ”

Chen Xun came out of the teaching building, and when he walked to the playground, he saw Ning Chaoxi, who was standing behind the rostrum, had been stomping his feet in place, and he suddenly felt funny, was he so nervous.

He looked at the crowd of people who were constantly pouring into the playground in front of him, and turned around and walked towards Ning Chaoxi, she closed her eyes, and didn't notice that anyone was approaching, until someone suddenly stuffed something into her palm, she was startled, and opened her eyes suddenly.

"Chen Xun? Why are you ......" She was slightly stunned, looking down at the thing he had stuffed into her hand, which was a transparent glass ball, "Why are you giving me this?" ”

It was about to be gathered, Chen Xun didn't have time to say more, so he only told her: "Hold this in your hand, take a deep breath, don't be nervous." ”

As soon as the words fell, he walked forward, as the crowd walked into the playground through the small door in front of him, Ning Chaoxi didn't have time to say a word to him, his eyes kept following his figure until the person receded from her field of vision, she held the glass ball he gave in her hand, glowing with a lustrous luster, refracting the light in the sun.

The surface of the sphere was cold and cold, but it could still catch the subtle temperature, and Ning Chaoxi only felt that this temperature seemed to stretch along her palm into the blood, scalding her heart.

Her heartbeat, which had been flustered, suddenly calmed down.

The speech on stage was quite successful, at least she was not nervous to stutter, and there was no jamming and unsmooth sentences halfway, it was smoother than she imagined, after the three-minute speech, she put down the manuscript and deliberately looked around the audience, but unfortunately the time was too short, she couldn't find Chen Xun's figure, and then she bent down and bowed to the audience and left.

After leaving the stage, she realized that the speech on stage was not as terrible as she imagined, and she breathed a sigh of relief, amused by her previous worries.

But it is undeniable that she is still a little nervous, and the glass balls are transmitted by the temperature of her palm.

She thought in her heart that she had to find a time to thank Chen Xun well.

-

In the midterm exam at the end of the month, Ning Chaoxi unexpectedly achieved good results, and mathematics finally did not lag behind, although the score was not very high, but it was much better than before, and her Chinese score this time was also much higher than before, which can be regarded as the best result she got in high school.

Tell Ning's father and Ning's mother about this result back, Ning's father praised her vigorously, but Ning's mother just said to her with a relaxed face: "The money for the cram school was not paid in vain." ”

In fact, Ning Chaoxi knew that most of her math results were due to Chen Xun, and almost all of the test papers she did in cram school were tutored by Chen Xun alone.

But she didn't tell anyone, this is a little secret between her and Chen Xun.

After finishing her homework at night, Ning Chaoxi lay on the bed with her mobile phone, clicked on the contact, she turned down page by page, found Chen Xun's number, hesitated for a moment and sent him a text message: "Chen Xun, I told my parents the results of the midterm exam, my father has been praising me, and my mother finally stopped scolding me, happy." ”

After sending a text message, she spread out on the bed, after the midterm exam, it was rare that there was not much homework, and she could relax for a good night.

After five minutes, the mobile phone she held in her hand 'ding', and Chen Xun sent her a text message back: "Congratulations." ”

Ning Chaoxi rolled over and lay on the bed, she shook her legs and replied to him: "Thanks to you, I can get such a high score in mathematics, thank you." ”

This time, it didn't take long for Chen Xun to reply to her: "No, you also helped me." ”

Chen Xun's Chinese score this time is also ten points higher than the last monthly exam, although the score is not high, but it is also under Ning Chaoxi's tutoring.

Ning Chaoxi looked at the sentence 'You also helped me' and suddenly smiled, a little happy in her heart, as if it was a happy thing to help him, the corners of her mouth smiled, and asked him, "What are you doing?" ”

At this point in time, Ning Chaoxi guessed that he was doing his homework, but Chen Xun replied to her: "I just took a shower." ”

Looking at these four words, Ning Chaoxi's mind automatically made up the picture when he finished taking a shower, she covered her hot cheeks, and knocked out an 'oh' word with her fingertips.

But as soon as she sent this word, Ning Chaoxi regretted it, someone like Chen Xun who cherished words like gold would definitely not send her a message back, she rolled around on the bed in annoyance, and was thinking about what to send him, when the mobile phone suddenly 'ding'.

Ning Chaoxi hurriedly got up from the bed and turned on the mobile phone, it was sent by Chen Xun, and he asked, "What about you." ”

Simple two words, not even any punctuation, but Ning Chaoxi was too happy, she typed two words on the keyboard 'guess', but after thinking about it, she didn't think it was good, so she replied to him: "I just took a shower." ”

After sending it over, she was a little curious about Chen Xun's reaction, Ning Chaoxi looked up at the ceiling and guessed what he would give her back, but this time Chen Xun didn't reply to her after waiting for a long time, Ning Chaoxi would pick up her phone every ten seconds to look, but after ten minutes, the phone didn't respond.

Patience ran out, Ning Chaoxi picked up his mobile phone and typed: "I lied to you, I just finished my homework and am resting." ”

After sending it, she threw her phone aside, stared dryly, and thought: Hmph, love can't go back.

After waiting for about three minutes, the mobile phone rang, and Chen Xun replied to her: "Hmm." ”

Ning Chaoxi held up her mobile phone and wanted to ask him, 'Why didn't you reply to the text message just now', but after a pause, she thought that maybe he just walked away, and it was normal for him to not reply to one or two text messages occasionally, and the most important thing was that she found that the question she asked was a bit of a questioning tone, as if it was a little inappropriate.

It happened that Ning's father came to knock on her door: "Xiaoxi, rest early after finishing your homework, don't make it too late." ”

"Got it, Dad."

Ning Chaoxi deleted the words on the screen and sent him: "I'm going to sleep, good night." ”

Not long after, Chen Xun replied: "Good night." ”

The evening breeze is gentle, and you have a good night's sleep.

The next day, Ning Chaoxi, as the representative of the Chinese class in the class, went to the teacher's office to send homework after class, and Teacher Bai was still correcting yesterday's workbook, and only a small part was left.

Ning Chaoxi said hello, just waiting, she was not the only student in the office, she noticed that there was also a boy standing in front of the desk diagonally opposite, thin and tall, with slightly long hair, the hair on his forehead almost covered his eyes, the boy had his hands behind his back, standing casually, and the expression on his face was a little frivolous.

She also noticed that the teacher in front of the boy was the head teacher of the first class of the second year of high school, that is, the female teacher who felt that Ning Chaoxi's facial features were peugeot on the first day of school.

"Wang Yi, you can tell me that your grades are poor, why can't you study well, openly smoke on campus, and you were caught by the director of teaching, do you know what the consequences will be?" The female teacher frowned and said: "This is not the first time, there is also a problem with your homework, more than one teacher has complained to me that you usually don't hand in your homework, you can talk about it yourself, what do you want to do, or ask your parents to come and talk to the teacher." ”

"Teacher, my parents are out of town, even if you call in person, they won't come." Wang Yi shrugged his shoulders and said with an indifferent expression.

"You don't have any other adults in your family?"

"Nope."

"You go back and write a review of this matter first, and as for your parents, I will call them personally."

"Day and night, the homework has been corrected, thank you for your hard work, help the teacher take it to the classroom." Teacher Bai corrected the workbook and said to her.

"Good teacher." Ning Chaoxi retracted her gaze, held the exercise book in her hand, and walked out of the door, the door of the office was closed, and when she was about to free one hand to come out and open the door, someone next to her helped her unscrew the doorknob lock.

"Thank you." She looked up and met the boy's dark eyes.

It's the boy who was reprimanded.

Ning Chaoxi nodded at him, did not stop, and walked out of the office door with the exercise book.

Ning Chaoxi, who usually has no intersection, didn't take it to heart, but she didn't expect that she would meet him again near the teacher's office building a few days later.

At that time, Wang Yi, holding a cigarette in his hand, was leaning on the staircase and smoking openly.
