"No, this time it's angelica and durian." Xu Zhuoyuan sighed, with an expression of looking at death as if he were at home.

Fang Ruo looked at him with a distressed expression, she seemed to see them arguing over this bowl of soup at home.

"How many books would you like to buy today?" Fang Ruo diverted from the topic.

"Hmm... If you want to buy Chinese annotations in Chinese, as well as political ones, you have to buy a few sets of questions. Xu Zhuoyuan remembered that at the end of last semester because of the obscurity of classical Chinese, he lost points, and there were also major political questions that were off-topic, which shortened the distance between him and the second place by ten points, and he only exceeded twenty points, so he was displeased.

Maybe some people with good grades don't care how many points they can score, and they will always be at the top of the list if they play steadily, but Xu Zhuoyuan cares, he knows that he is the first, but he cares about how many points he has scored in the second place.

He likes that his score is far beyond the second place, so that he will feel satisfied, excellent, far away, these two words are in his name, as if they were born for him, because of him, even if he is in the dragons, he is only the head of the dragon.

"I want to buy math materials, you can help me pick a set of problems later." Fang Ruo remembered her math results that were difficult to hold on to the wall, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart, but she would never give up, it was man-made, she had to move forward bravely towards mathematics, even if it had little effect, she would not let it be buried.

The two of them shuttled through the bookstore in the book city looking for the books they wanted, Fang Ruo also wanted to buy a few more literary books, close to the start of school, there were many people buying books, the flow of people was surging, and the bustle was like rushing to the market.

"Fang Ruo, what a coincidence." Fang Ruo turned around, Chen Zifan was standing behind her with a smile, holding a plastic bag full of books, tall and strong in the crowd, his face was slightly red, and there were still a few drops of sweat on his forehead.

"Are you here to buy books, too? What a coincidence. Fang Ruo glanced at the bookbag he was carrying, and felt that he was simply asking knowingly.

"Yes, I'm done buying, did you come with a friend?"

Chen Zifan glanced at Xu Zhuoyuan beside her, Xu Zhuoyuan was also looking at him, although Xu Zhuoyuan was also the tallest among the boys in the class, but he was still a little thin in front of the taller Chen Zifan, there would always be some comparisons between boys, and there was also some unknown gunpowder smell in the eyes of both sides.

"Hello, I'm Xu Zhuoyuan, Fang Ruo's good friend, and I'm also in the ninth middle school." Xu Zhuoyuan politely introduced himself first, and when he said the words "good friend", he deliberately accentuated and lengthened the tone, like gritting his teeth and twisting his mouth, all of which reminded the person who came to be different.

Chen Zifan also knew that the perennial overlord on the grade ranking list, and when the name in his impression coincided with the handsome person in front of him, he couldn't help but suddenly realize that it was him.

"Hello, I'm Chen Zifan, Fang Ruo's classmate." Chen Zifan was stunned for a few seconds and then responded kindly.

"Fang Ruo, I'll go back first, you guys pick up the books slowly." Chen Zifan decided not to stay long, after all, it was inconvenient for Fang Ruo to have friends by his side to talk, and he was also an interesting person.

"Okay, goodbye."

"Goodbye." The two said goodbye to each other.

After Chen Zifan left, Fang Ruo continued to pick up the book in front of her, she didn't notice that the people around her were acting strangely.

"Hey, I said, what are you doing kid, do you buy this book or not, what are you doing rubbing the pages all the time?" The fat proprietress of the bookstore ate the melon seeds in her hand and shouted at them impatiently, her face displeased.

Fang Ruo was startled and looked up and saw Xu Zhuoyuan's slightly red face, he raised his head and said to the proprietress, "I want this one!" After listening to this, she stopped talking, Fang Ruo glanced at the book in his hand, it was a "Prenatal Education Enlightenment Music Book", and she was ashamed of it.

"What are you doing, why are you buying this book?" Fang Ruo looked at him like he was looking at a monster.

Xu Zhuoyuan felt inexplicably irritable, and he said with a cold face: "I like it." Then he turned around and went to the counter to pay the bill.

After the two of them picked out the books they needed, they walked in the direction of home with heavy bags, the book city was not far from home, but they also needed to walk for a while, and they also walked here just now.

Xu Zhuoyuan walked next to Fang Ruo, he pretended to look at the things set up by the roadside vendors, his eyes glancing to the side.

"What did you just do, buy that book...?" Fang Ruo asked tentatively, she couldn't help but wonder why.

"I didn't do anything, I just liked it, what do you always ask!" Xu Zhuoyuan's tone was full of anger, he didn't know what was wrong with him today, he felt his heart burning, and he couldn't do it.

Fang Ruo didn't want to talk when he said it, she didn't know where to make this ancestor unhappy again, she was still naughty with herself with a hippie smile before, but now she can't get along with herself, alas.

Both of them quieted down, walking on their own, Xu Zhuoyuan didn't know who he was angry with, why he was angry, he only felt that Fang Ruo's classmate just now, looking at her with those eyes, the inexplicable two people, when they said goodbye, they were still inseparable, they really didn't know what to do! The more he thought about it, the more irritable he became.

"Do you know your classmate well?" After a long time, Xu Zhuoyuan held back a sentence, and his face was still gloomy.

"Who? Chen Zifan? We run the blackboard newspaper together, and we don't know each other very well, just classmates. Fang Ruo said truthfully.

"Oh, got it." Xu Zhuoyuan felt inexplicably happy in his heart, starting from hearing "not very familiar" and "just classmates".

He kicked the pebbles under his feet, and the pebbles rolled forward in a muddy manner, and with them his troubles,

"Do you want to eat ice cream, let's go, there's a commissary there, I'll invite you to eat." After speaking, Xu Zhuoyuan pulled Fang Ruo and ran to the commissary.

Fang Ruo picked a cheap mung bean popsicle in a daze, she didn't know what Xu Zhuoyuan was thinking, she was angry with herself just now, and now she wants to buy ice cream for herself to eat, as well as buy that inexplicable book, he is really strange today....

"Please eat this, this is delicious." Xu Zhuoyuan couldn't help but take an expensive ice cream from the freezer and stuffed it into Fang Ruo's hand.

"It's... Don't buy that good. Fang Ruo said with some distress, she is not a greedy person, she will not change things if she can use them, it doesn't matter if she doesn't eat snacks, she is very satisfied when she eats them occasionally.

Xu Zhuoyuan didn't care what she said, he also took one himself, and stepped forward to pay the money, today he spent a lot of money, bought an extra book, and two ice creams that were not cheap, but he didn't feel distressed at all, his happiness came back.

The two of them went home while chatting while eating ice cream, Xu Zhuoyuan felt that this ice cream was unusually delicious, the cream was rich and delicate, and the chocolate wrapping on the outer layer was also very delicious, everything was very good, it was a fairy-like enjoyment.

Walking downstairs, Fang Ruo was about to go upstairs, but Xu Zhuoyuan called her.

"You haven't said goodbye to me yet?"

"I'm leaving......" Fang Ruo felt speechless for a while.

"Stupid."

"Goodbye, handsome guy Xu Zhuoyuan, is it okay?" Fang Ruo burst out laughing.

"Let's go, let's go." Xu Zhuoyuan pretended to vomit, pushed her, and walked towards home by himself, the corners of his mouth raised.

Night fell, after dinner, Xu Zhuoyuan poured out the purchased book from the bag, and when he saw the page of "Prenatal Music Enlightenment" with a baby, he couldn't help laughing, he took out the book and stuffed it in the cabinet, he didn't want to see it again.

Solzhenitsyn said: As long as you can breathe under the apple tree after the rain, you can still live.

"Everyone must actively participate in the sports meeting, if you are interested, go to the sports committee member Shen Bo to register, okay, let's get out of class, students." The head teacher, Mr. Yi, walked out of the classroom with the bell ringing at the end of class.

"What are you thinking?" Fang Ruo shook Zheng Yuqian, who looked sluggish next to him.

"There is a class competition of "working together" in the sports day, I want to sign up, what about you? Zheng Yuqian replied after thinking about it.

"The Games... I'd better forget it. Fang Ruo remembered the last time he ran 800 meters in the physical education exam, and he ran to the finish line with great difficulty and almost fell into the mud.

Zheng Yuqian felt a little frustrated when she saw Fang Ruo's head shaking like a rattle.

"Working together" is very simple, it is the cooperation between hands and feet, you can definitely do it! Zheng Yuqian still wanted to convince her to participate.

"Just accompany me, okay Fang Ruo? You're the best. Zheng Yuqian shook Fang Ruo's shoulder and kept coquettishly.

Fang Ruo couldn't resist being said by Zheng Yuqian, since it was not a sport that needed to run all the time, he could also participate in it.

"Okay, okay, I'll sign up too."

"You're so good!" Zheng Yuqian excitedly rushed over and hugged Fang Ruo, Fang Ruo felt that she couldn't cry or laugh.

Zheng Yuqian happily ran to the sports committee to sign up, Fang Ruo looked down at the book, and then looked up and saw Zheng Yuqian walking over with a drooping face.

"What's wrong?" Fang Ruo asked with concern.

"We can't participate together, as long as there are four people, Shen Bo said that there are already three people who have signed up, that is, Zhou Jing and the three of them." Fang Ruo looked in the direction of Zheng Yuqian's eyes, and the three girls were sitting together, talking and laughing.

Fang Ruo nodded and responded, "Then I won't participate, you can sign up quickly, don't miss the opportunity." ”

After hearing this, Zheng Yuqian pouted and left.

In fact, she has no interest in sports at all, she only heard that activities like "working together" will compete with other classes, and last weekend in the cram school to Zichen mentioned that she wanted to participate, she just wanted to participate, if Fang couldn't participate, she didn't know the three classmates, and she was afraid that she would not feel comfortable together.

Fang Ruo knew her worries and comforted her: "It's okay, I can accompany you during the game, we are still together." ”

Zheng Yuqian nodded, feeling a little relieved.

The deadline for handing in the registration form for the sports meeting was approaching, and the homeroom teacher, Mr. Yi, decided to emphasize it again in the self-study class.

"Everyone must have a sense of collective consciousness, the sports meeting is related to the honor of the class, and I hope everyone will actively participate in it." Teacher Yi looked at the incomplete registration form for the sports meeting in his hand, especially the large blank space on the women's event, and felt a little anxious.
