Chapter 4 I want to be a chic heroine
September is the beginning of the school season, Fang Ruo and Xu Zhuoyuan are both studying in the ninth middle school near their home, this school ranks well in the city, and many graduates are admitted to the provincial key high schools every year, and they are among the best in the city's junior high school rankings. On the first weekend of school, Fang Ruo was lying on the desk reading a new comic book, while Xu Zhuoyuan was sitting on the side of her bed with her big bear pillow, and was engrossed in playing with the game console in his hand.
He will be full of confidence for a while, and he will look up to the sky and roar angrily, that must be a loss of the game. Fang Ruo had long been accustomed to his out-of-the-box performance, and ignored it, and she was attracted by the fantastic adventure story of the protagonist in the comics at the moment, she felt as if she had also entered this magical martial arts world, transforming into a chivalrous woman with stunts to punish evil and promote good, holding a jade sword and turning away to give the world a chic back.
This period of time is when martial arts novels are popular all over the country, it seems that the martial arts dream hidden in everyone's hearts has been ignited, although Fang Ruo is very honest and sensible on the outside, she loves these new things very much in her heart, she is afraid of change, but she likes to experience excitement. Xu Zhuoyuan always laughed and said that she was an unchanging appearance with a restless heart, Fang Ruo was not annoyed when she heard it, and countered that he was in the first three minutes of interest, and he was out of interest.
Xu Zhuoyuan likes to play on weekdays, and when he gets something new and interesting, he is itchy and unbearable, so he must quickly think it through. But he was just interested in playing seriously for a while, and after a few days, he shouted that he was not interested, so he changed hands and threw the things to Fang Ruo.
Fang Ruo also collected them all, she specially prepared a bag for this purpose, which was full of Xu Zhuoyuan's former "love things", what spring trapeze, diving prince, miracle cards... "Anyway, it was the most popular at that time, and after he played, he threw it to Fang Ruo casually, and after accumulating over the years, there was a heavy small bag.
"Hey, I don't know what's going on today, I just can't beat this monster." Xu Zhuoyuan said a little deflated, he put the game console beside him, and simply lay down on the bed lazily.
Fang Ruo was intoxicated by the vastness of the martial arts world at the moment, and she didn't come back to her senses at all. Xu Zhuoyuan saw that Fang Ruo didn't respond to him, and he became even more irritable.
He sat up and snatched the book in Fang Ruo's hand, Fang Ruo was suddenly awakened and looked at him with some anger.
Xu Zhuoyuan glanced at the book in his hand a little embarrassed, and what caught his eye was a man and a woman cultivating together, although there was no picture suitable for children, it was still a little strange. Xu Zhuoyuan was a little embarrassed, frowned, and said that this was something to read while stuffing the book to Fang Ruo indiscriminately. Fang Ruo hurriedly took the book in his hand, he crumpled the book with his hands and feet, Fang Ruo smoothed the folds on the book with some distress, and sighed.
Fang Ruo loves books as much as her life, the books at home from several years ago are like new, and she has a habit of opening them gently when she reads, not pressing them, for fear of leaving wrinkles on the pages, she never lends books to others, and other things to play with can be taken casually, but when it comes to books, there are no exceptions and absolutely no borrowing.
Xu Zhuoyuan usually pays attention to these details, he saw Fang Ruo's distressed look and said disapprerovingly: "I'll just compensate you for another copy, as for being so precious." Fang Ruo waved his hand at him and didn't say anything more. Over the years, they have only been familiar with each other's wombs, they haven't cared about each other's things, they just take it, she is just a habitual action, she has long been used to Xu Zhuoyuan like this.
"Have you had any fun going on this week?" Fang Ruo changed the subject, and seeing the sweat on his forehead, she got up and turned on the fan.
"What's so funny, our homeroom teacher is a very rigid teacher, and on the first day of class, he sat quietly for a few hours, saying that he wanted to change our bad habits." Xu Zhuoyuan's words were full of dissatisfaction.
Fang Ruo burst out laughing, she imagined Xu Zhuoyuan's uneasy appearance, but it was really embarrassing for him. Xu Zhuoyuan saw that Fang Ruo was still laughing at him, and he suddenly felt a little annoyed.
"You're still laughing, you don't know how much I can't stand it, my ass hurts." There was a little coquettish in his tone, Fang Ruo heard his mood, and quickly said a few words to appease him.
Although they go to school in one school, they are not one class when they are divided, there are more than 20 classes in the grade, Fang Ruo is in the fifth class, the fifth class is in the easternmost part of the fifth floor, Xu Zhuoyuan is in the sixteenth class, and the sixteenth class is in the westernmost part of the second floor. The classrooms were very far apart, and they hadn't fully familiarized themselves with the school yet, so neither of them had met in school yet. Xiang Zichen is also in this school, his class is a little closer to Fang Ruo's class, he is in the second class, Fang Ruo has to pass through their class every time he goes to the toilet, and they have met a few times.
Fang Ruo and Xu Zhuoyuan still go to school together every day, but the two of them can't get together after school, their class will leave school a little earlier, Xu Zhuoyuan's class will drag the class every time school is over, and the head teacher will have a small meeting.
At first, Fang Ruo was also waiting for him at the station to come and then go together, but later she did more homework, and it was too late to wait and wait to go home. So later, they tacitly agreed not to go back together at night.
They have all grown up, Fang Ruo no longer has to chase and run behind Xu Zhuoyuan's buttocks, and she can easily pass the intersection with a large flow of people, but when they cross the road together, Xu Zhuoyuan will still subconsciously see if Fang Ruo is next to him, only when he sees her can he feel at ease. He never pressed her to keep up, and she never fell behind.
After going to junior high school, the academic pressure is much greater, and it is no longer as relaxed as it was in elementary school, Fang Ruo is a little biased, his math scores are not very good, Chinese and English are good, and other sub-subjects are also average, and the scores in the big exam are about a dozen in the class, and sometimes he can grit his teeth and rush into the top ten in the class.
And Xu Zhuoyuan is still as smart as ever, he has good grades, he is among the best in his grade, his math scores are particularly outstanding, and his name can often be seen on the honor roll. He has recently fallen in love with playing basketball, and often skips the lunch break with a few classmates to go to the basketball court to play, like a demon. Fang Ruo didn't take it seriously when he heard him say that he would be him again in the future, but he insisted on entering the school basketball team, and he also performed well in the basketball game organized by the school, and he was quite beautiful for a while.
"Fang Ruo, have you read the new book in this issue?" The girl who spoke scooped up the ice cream in her hand and looked at Fang Ruo. Her name is Zheng Yuqian, she has short ear-length hair, a palm-sized face with bangs, and a face as small and delicate as a cat, and her eyes are squinted into a line when she smiles, looking a little coquettish. The nose and mouth are small, the face is ruddy, and the height is not high, and the whole person feels very cute.
"No, I was too late to do my homework last night, so I went to bed when I was too tired." Fang Ruo was a little lazy, the final exam was approaching, and there was so much to review, so he could only put his beloved book first.
Zheng Yuqian is Fang Ruo's tablemate, and after a chat, I found that both of them like to read Xianxia martial arts type books, and they feel a little closer to each other in this strange environment when they just started school, and the two girls are also more casual, and they can talk about chatting together. It's just that Zheng Yuqian has a more lively personality, and she will often take the initiative to talk to Fang Ruo.
The class bell rang, Zheng Yuqian hurriedly packed up the ice cream on the table and prepared for class, and also ate ice cream in winter, Fang Ruo couldn't help but shiver when she watched her eat.
This class is the class of the Chinese teacher Mr. Wu, Fang Ruo likes to take Mr. Wu's class very much, she speaks very gently, her poetry and song class can be so vivid and interesting, sometimes telling poignant stories can also be very moving, her unique way of explaining makes Fang Ruo can't help but indulge in it, she feels that the Chinese class is her most relaxed time.
After school, she waited for the bus at the station, the temperature was a little low, and it rained in the afternoon, but by the time school was out, the rain had stopped, and there was still some water on the ground. Fang Ruo felt a little happy, she didn't like rain, no matter how careful she was when it rained, her body would always be wet with rain mist, and her clothes were moist against the skin on her body, feeling a little sticky.
After waiting for a while, the car came, she just got in the car, and someone slapped her back, Fang Ruo looked back and saw that it was Xu Zhuoyuan. He was grinning at her, the tip of his nose was a little red from the cold, and a white mist appeared in his mouth as he spoke. Fang Ruo smiled when he saw that it was him, and the two of them found a seat to sit together.
Fang Ruogang wanted to speak, but saw that the corners of his mouth were bloodshot, and it seemed that he was on fire again. After all, the boy has strong blood and energy, and he has no moderation in eating, Xu Zhuoyuan doesn't pay attention to it on weekdays, he likes to eat spicy food, although he doesn't have acne on his face, he is always prone to anger in his mouth.
"Go back and drink some herbal tea made by your mother, your mouth is on fire again." Fang Ruo still couldn't help but admonish.
"Whoever drinks that thing will die of bitterness, and will vomit when he smells it." Xu Zhuoyuan's tone was a little irritated, and it seemed that he was not less talked about by his mother at home.
Fang Ruo didn't say this again, Xu Zhuoyuan told her some things in the class again, which made Fang Ruo very happy.
He is actually very good at talking, but he doesn't like to talk to girls in school, he thinks it's very troublesome to talk to other girls, when he talks to him, they twist and pinch, and he doesn't know what he's talking about for a long time, how does he know that girls are shy, he just thinks they are weird.
Only when talking to Fang Ruo is different, they can say whatever they want, Fang Ruo knows his temperament, he also understands Fang Ruo, everything is just right.
The two people on the bus laughed and laughed, as if they had endless words. The afterglow of the setting sun dragged the car shadow longer and longer, Fang Ruo looked back and saw the golden sunset behind them, she remembered that the stubborn and arrogant chivalrous woman in the book was also in this sunset, chic and free.
Xu Zhuoyuan saw Fang Ruo's distracted appearance and knew that she remembered some fragment from the novel. He smiled and pulled Fang Ruo back to his senses in the story he was telling. Fang Ruo felt very calm in her heart, but she thought that maybe when the chivalrous girl embarked on the journey alone, she would feel lonely in her heart.
