Chapter XI
"Son, we believe in you, you have always known it, and you have never let us down, this matter must be a prank, don't think too much, studying at your current age is the most important thing, don't think about anything else, don't be distracted", this is what Jiangqu's mother has been saying for several days after Jiang Qu and Li Mingyue were locked in the laboratory.
His father blamed all the blame on Li Mingyue: "Hmph, it must be that tall girl who is playing tricks on you, it's not a serious child to be crazy at first glance, let's have less dealings with her in the future, otherwise what if we take you badly" As for educating him, his words were surprisingly consistent with his mother, and he changed the soup without changing the medicine, half encouraging and half commanding: "You must not be affected by her, your task now is to study hard, and you will be admitted to a good university in the future, what kind of girl does not have, let you pick and choose when the time comes."
However, this remark aroused Jiang's mother's disgust, and she sarcastically said: "Don't talk nonsense there, what, do you still want your son to be as irresponsible as you in the future?" Pay attention to what you say, don't teach my son badly. ”
Dad Jiang looked like he wanted to refute a few words, looked at Jiang Qu, and endured it again. Jiang's mother didn't speak again, they still tried their best to endure less quarrels in front of their son, this was their agreement. In order not to affect Jiang Qu, they negotiated that they would still play a loving couple before their son was eighteen years old in the college entrance examination, and Jiang Qu divorced immediately after the college entrance examination, this was their private agreement, so no matter how disgusted they were, they had to control not to show it in front of their son. But in fact, they have long hated each other and even hated each other, as if they had some blood feud. When Jiang Qu can't see or is not present, they are always noisy.
Jiang Qu had actually noticed that the relationship between his parents was not good, and he also knew that they were forbearing for him, so he pretended not to know anything and accompanied them in this play. He has a grudge against such parents and such a family, and it goes without saying that he is depressed and anxious. He knew that his parents went out to love him to wronged himself like this, but their love made him feel troubled, and it was ridiculous to say, they loved their son so much, but they didn't know that Jiang Qu could hear the quarrel every night clearly, and he didn't even know that he had a nervous breakdown, and he didn't know that the slightest sound was enough to make him insomnia, and he didn't know that he was basically pretending to sleep every night. I don't know if his grades are declining because of them, not because of Li Mingyue.
Sometimes he especially wanted to shout at them: "Enough, what's the point of living like this, you are divorced, can you not use this kind of sacrifice to accommodate me, so that I will only feel stressed and tired."
But in the end, he didn't get his heart out, he just whispered, "I know, I'm sorry, I'll pay attention", and went back to his room.
In fact, in recent days, Jiang Qu has really felt depressed, in addition to having to face his parents every day, he still feels uncomfortable at school, because his classmates have developed from secretly talking behind his back to being sarcastic in person.
"Oops, I usually look at a good student's good boy, but it turns out that it's all pretended, and I actually hooked up with the senior sister in the high school."
"Hmph, I should have known that I should have made the first move, and I would have cheapened that senior sister" A female classmate who also liked Jiangqu was indignant.
Someone next to her hit her loudly: "Come on, people don't look down on you like you, people like people who are tall and big, so they can feel safe." The classmate sneered, with a strange smile on his face, they only dared to say this in private, and they absolutely didn't dare to say a word in front of Li Mingyue.
Jiang Qu's face turned blue and white for a while, and finally slapped the table.
These classmates looked at him and walked over, a little frightened, thinking that they had annoyed him and that he was going to beat or scold them, but Jiang Qu just glared at them with a gloomy face, and then passed by them and walked out of the classroom.
"You, you're just too honest" Wu Chen leaned against the wall and said to Jiang Qu who was blowing the wind in the corridor: "Look, no one is talking nonsense in front of me, at least don't dare to say it to your face, because if I hear it, I will scold him back on the spot." You, you don't have to press everything in your heart, say if you are not satisfied, show it if you are unhappy, and don't bear it if you can't bear it. ”
Jiang Qu sighed: "Forget it, the rumors stop at the wise, I have nothing to do with my senior sister, there is no need to explain more," he frowned, "There is less than a month before the high school entrance examination, I have to hurry up and study and review, and I am not in the mood to pay attention to these things."
"Can you really do it with both ears and listen to what is going on outside the window and only read the books of the sages?"
"Hmm," Jiang Qu nodded.
Wu Chen turned his head and reported the situation to Li Mingyue.
"Yes, the junior brother is about to take the high school entrance examination, and the results of the last monthly examination have already dropped, if it is affected again, it will be bad if the high school entrance examination is not done well" Li Mingyue was very worried.
"That's it, it's too lazy to pay attention to it, but I don't think it's likely that it won't be affected at all" Wu Chen chewed gum and said, "Don't you know that some students in our class have a lot of gossip and too much."
"No, I have to escort my junior brother" Li Mingyue slapped the table: "At least ensure that he is not affected by gossip."
So, during a certain recess, while Jiang Qu was going to the toilet, Li Mingyue entered the door of the junior high school class with great vigour.
strode to the podium and slapped the blackboard hard. Success focused everyone's attention on her.
Clearing her throat, she said loudly: "I, it is Li Mingyue."
Regardless of the strange puzzled or stunned expressions on their faces, she continued to say to herself: "That's right, I like Jiang Qu and I'm chasing him."
When the male classmates heard this, they all exclaimed and coaxed.
"But I haven't caught up yet" Li Mingyue waved her hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and continued: "Although I tried hard to chase him, he didn't promise me, and we weren't together."
Li Mingyue began to pace back and forth on the podium: "I'm not telling you this to explain or anything, but I don't want to cause trouble to Jiang Qu. Because I've heard that lately there have been people talking nonsense in front of him and chewing on the root of his tongue. I just want to know, whose mouth is so cheap? The last sentence Li Mingyue deliberately used a cruel tone, and sure enough, the frightened younger brothers and sisters shrank again and again.
"I'm here today to warn you" She stopped in front of the lectern suddenly, rolled up her sleeves and arms to support both sides of the lectern, leaned forward, glanced at the students present with sharp eyes, and said domineering and threatening: "Jiang Qu, I'm covered." If anyone dares to chew the root of his tongue in front of him again, I will let him walk around without eating."
The students below were all frightened and stopped for a while.
Li Mingyue vigorously hammered down the lectern and asked, "Do you understand?" ”。
"Got it"
"Listen, hear understood"
Everyone was silent and hurriedly answered.
Li Mingyue nodded with satisfaction, straightened her waist, and changed to a relaxed tone: "That's right, you are now in the third year of junior high school, and you are about to take the high school entrance examination, do what you should do, spend all your energy on studying, and worry less about what you shouldn't worry about." ”
Gu Nanfeng listened to the black line on the side, and thought to herself, it is a shame that she can say this, obviously she is also about to face the college entrance examination, she should focus on studying, and she is embarrassed to preach to her younger brothers and sisters.
Li Mingyue's eyes swept over the faces of her classmates one by one again, and finally stopped at Zhen Qian in the front row, and deliberately asked her in a long voice: "Senior Sister Zhen Qian, do you understand?" ”
Zhen Qian's eyelashes trembled, but she didn't answer.
Li Mingyue raised the decibel level condescendingly and asked again: "I'll ask you?"
Zhen Qian has always been very unconvinced by Li Mingyue, but she has been defeated by her momentum every time, and this time she replied bluntly: "I know" There was a sense of unwillingness in the compromised tone.
"Very good" Li Mingyue smiled, the goal was achieved, and he walked out of the door of this classroom with his hands behind his back. didn't take two steps, but was stopped from behind: "Senior Sister Li".
It was Zhen Qian, she caught up with Li Mingyue, and there was a hint of provocation in her cold tone: "All along, isn't it you who has caused trouble to Jiangqu, Senior Sister Li, you are the crux of the problem." As long as you don't pester him, there will naturally be no more gossip, and he will be able to prepare for the exam without distractions, if you are really good for him, senior sister, you should stay away from him as soon as possible, and stop pestering him."
Li Mingyue squinted at her: "Isn't what I told you last time clear enough?" As I said, it's not your turn. ”
"I'll tell you" Li Mingyue took a step closer to her: "I won't give up, I said, unless he rejects me personally, otherwise, I won't stop liking him." ”
"Why is Senior Sister like this, does she have to hurt her self-esteem and lose face before she stops?" Zhen Qian actually really didn't understand what Li Mingyue thought.
Li Mingyue replied to her with a smile: "How do you know that he doesn't like me, maybe, he has long liked me, but he didn't find out." Leaving this sentence, Li Mingyue ignored her anymore, greeted Gu Nanfeng and Song Zhiyi, and returned to the teaching building with a smile. Leaving Zhen Qian alone and messy.
Jiang Qu was very puzzled, why the classmates looked at him more strangely, but they all looked at him as if they were afraid, but no one said anything in front of him anymore, even if they were talking, they would never dare to say it in front of him. But the guys behaved so strangely in the face of him.
For example, when he was cleaning on duty, he swept the floor and someone helped him sweep, he wiped the table, and someone rushed to help him wipe it, and he was complimented.
As a member of the study committee, it is always very difficult to collect homework, but in recent days, it has been quite smooth, even a few naughty and mischievous people in the class who usually never put him in their eyes are quite cooperative, as if they are particularly afraid of annoying him, as if they offend him and will be in trouble.
"Don't you think our classmates have become very strange recently," Jiang Qu asked Wu Chen.
Wu Chen scratched his head, just laughed dryly, and stopped talking. But even if he didn't say it, Jiang Qu still quickly knew the reason.
