Chapter 1: The Wedge

Next Chapter

One early morning in August, the sun hung early, and the rare coolness of the early morning was gradually eroded by the gradually scorching sun.

The Sun City community in the north of the city kicked off the day as always. Early risers and morning joggers are slowly running on the wide asphalt roads in the community; The uncles and aunts who are exercising in the morning are gathering in the small square in front of the community, they are slowly stretching and contracting, and they seem so carefree; The slightly lazy middle-aged woman took out the family's cats and dogs, and walked carelessly along the roadside greenway, waiting for her body to gradually wake up; The guys at the breakfast shop who are busy making a living let the steamers steam out of the steamer early, attracting early diners or those who are too lazy to cook to buy it; People rushing for their livelihood are rushing out of the gates of the community in their cars or mopeds to the places where they work. The whole community seems to know that people can't understand why it keeps calling, and I don't know whether it's because it's busy or just idle.

In a room on the third floor of a building in the northernmost part of the community, next to the road, the closed curtains indicate that the people inside have not woken up, and the whole room reveals a lazy atmosphere. Suddenly, the door of the room was opened in a hurry, and a middle-aged woman in an apron glanced into the room and shouted, "Lin Shanghan hurry up and eat!" The boy on the bed turned over lazily, picked up the mobile phone next to the pillow and rubbed his sleepy eyes and glanced at it, it was already seven o'clock, counting the time for washing, eating breakfast and riding, this was already the latest time within the time allowed.

Lin Shanghan hurriedly lifted the quilt, grabbed the clothes that his mother put in the closet last night and put them on his body, and walked to the bathroom step by step. Lin Shanghan turned on the light and looked at his slightly obese body and unkempt hair that he slept in his glasses because he was "fed" by his mother in the third year of high school. The two months of carefree vacation close to the college entrance examination made Lin Shanghan gradually forget the tense life in the third year of high school, and the days when he slept until he woke up naturally every day made him not used to getting up at this point for a while, so all his movements seemed slightly slow.

But at this time, Lin Shanghan was not living as a prospective college student after the college entrance examination, and the mistakes in writing and reading the questions in the college entrance examination made him gradually deviate from the topic in the essay of more than 800 words, and finally scored a dismal 89 points, which is so humble in the 160-point Chinese test paper of the Jiangsu college entrance examination, although the normal performance of mathematics is 145, it seems useless. Lin Shanghan hesitated between studying an ordinary second book or returning to the busy senior year of high school, and after repeatedly confirming that no public school in Nanjing could go to it, he finally chose to repeat it, which meant that he and her would be separated from each other for a year.

After grinding and washing, Lin Shanghan walked to the dining table, on the table was the egg fried rice and millet porridge that his mother made early, Lin Shanghan was eating his mother while nagging tirelessly beside him, Lin Shanghan didn't listen to a word as usual, he picked up his mobile phone and lit up the screen expectantly, but there was no information on the screen.

Lin Shanghan was slightly disappointed, after unlocking, he skillfully clicked into QQ, clicked on the top of the message list, looked at her and still showed Wi-Fi online, estimating that she should still be sleeping, so he hesitated to send her something while eating, so the eating speed gradually slowed down.

Seeing this, his mother snatched his mobile phone and announced that the mobile phone would be confiscated during school, Lin Shanghan hurriedly said to me to use it one last time, and my mother hesitated for a while or gave it to him, so Lin Shanghan quickly sent her a message "I'm going to school" and hurriedly turned off the phone and handed it to my mother. Mom seemed to sense what he was doing, so she said to Lin Shanghan with a little mockery: "I still think about Li Linxi, but people go to Nanjing University to pay attention to you", this sentence directly pierced Lin Shanghan's sore spot, he replied: "What's the matter with you", he got up and kicked up his shoes, picked up the sorted bookcase, took the key that accompanied him for six years in middle school, and the keychain still hung the "lucky dog" given to him by Li Linxi during the college entrance examination, and ran downstairs quickly.

Lin Shanghan skillfully pushed out the "little electric donkey" that had been with him for three years from the bicycle garage, put the box on the pedal, twisted the electric door, and set off for his new school. Lin Shanghan studied in Zhiyuan Middle School in the suburbs of the city for six years, because the high school teaching level of Zhiyuan Middle School is really not good, so Lin Shanghan's parents did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to help Lin Shanghan apply for a repeat class near his home in the city's famous Guangming Middle School, hoping to make Lin Shanghan have no regrets in the senior year of high school.

Lin Shanghan rode a "little electric donkey" through the road in front of the community, looking around the new school for after-school pastime, fried chicken shops with takeaways, and bubble tea shops suitable for relieving the pain of studying. Suddenly, a man's happy voice sounded behind him: "Lin Shanghan! Lin Shanghan turned around and saw that a slightly obese man was running towards him on a white moped, which turned out to be Lin Shanghan's good brother Ge Xuanming. This brother and Lin Shanghan have been in the same class before the second year of high school, the difference is that after the class, he couldn't stand the devastation of science and fled to the liberal arts class with a lot of sisters to study political history, and Lin Shanghan of course took advantage of the advantages of materialization and went to the science class to learn materialization like Li Linxi's choice, but Ge Xuanming and Lin Shanghan played elementary school alumni, and they were classmates for three years in junior high school, and the relationship was too iron for two years in high school to repeat together. In fact, the main reason is that Ge Xuanming's exam is super bad, and it just so happens that several brothers discussed and discussed and re-read together, which also means that everyone is happy.

Lin Shanghan slowed down the car, waiting for Ge Xuanming to catch up from behind, and the two of them talked about the characteristics of the shops around the school, while exchanging the news of the new school they had collected from each other. After a while, the two of them rode to the door of Guangming Middle School, which was more famous, but the two had never been there, after all, no student liked to visit a middle school with a "strong learning atmosphere".

Since it was only August 3rd, the students in the third year of high school were still on vacation, and the school organized the repeater class to start the school first to help them adapt to the new environment in advance. Lin Shanghan and Ge Xuanming looked left and right, searching for everyone they might know. Due to the poor examination of Zhiyuan Middle School this year, many students have chosen to repeat their studies in this "holy place" to retake, so they should be able to meet many acquaintances.

Sure enough, as soon as the car was put in the carport, Zhu Zhishuang and Ni Yuchen, who were also repeating their studies, came to meet each other, although everyone had just gotten together a few days ago, they still looked like they were seeing each other late, giggling with each other and walking towards the building where the third year of high school was located.

As soon as I arrived in the corridor, I saw a group of people in light summer clothes gathered at the end of the corridor, apparently repeaters looking at their class assignments. Lin Shanghan and his entourage walked to the list and swept quickly, Lin Shanghan saw that he was assigned to class 37, fortunately he was in the same class as Zhu Zhishuang, and Ge Xuanming's liberal arts was destined not to be in one class, but fortunately, class 39 was not far away, and Ni Yuchen could not enter the experimental class directly. After Ni Yuchen said goodbye to everyone, he walked to another building, and Lin Shanghan and the three of them carried the boxes and climbed up to this building, looking for them layer by layer, and finally climbed until the fourth floor to find the classroom. Ge Xuanming's classroom happened to be at the top of the stairs, so Lin Shanghan and Zhu Zhishuang walked inside to find their class 37.

Maybe some people have a positive attitude towards repetition, and most of the good seats in the classroom have been occupied, Lin Shanghan and Zhu Zhishuang have no choice but to choose the position near the front door that no one wants. Lin Shanghan took a moment to clean up the desk, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Zhu Zhishuang next to him had already fallen asleep on the table, and Lin Shanghan didn't have the heart to sleep, he was still thinking about Li Linxi, who was going to be separated from him, and the next difficult year. Lin Shanghan started to walk to the corridor outside, leaned on the fence and looked at the empty teaching building opposite, and fell into confusion.

Lin Shanghan looked at the repeaters who came one after another, and looked at the girls inside, after all, figuring out which beautiful girls are in the grade is something that most boys are happy to do. But Lin Shanghan was thinking about Li Linxi, and at this time he didn't have much interest in these girls wearing various leaky T-shirts. Suddenly, a girl walking fluttering came from the bottom of the building, wearing a simple white T, carrying a small blue storage box, her way of walking that was different from others briefly attracted Lin Shanghan's interest, Lin Shanghan looked at it for a while and then shifted his gaze.

After a while, Ge Xuanming walked out of the corridor and shouted loudly when he saw Lin Shanghan: "Lin Shanghan, let's go to the toilet together", Lin Shanghan took his mind back and turned his head to look at Ge Xuanming, Ge Xuanming stepped forward and raised his arm to hug Lin Shanghan, Lin Shanghan saw the girl walking strangely at the bottom of the building just now through the space under Ge Xuanming's arm. There were a few pimples on her white face, and her slightly thinned hair was scattered around her ears, swaying rhythmically as she walked step by step, which was a little fairy. Her emotions could not be seen from her expressionless face, but she kept her head held high, and did not seem to pay attention to the gazes of the people around her. Her unremarkable appearance at first glance couldn't set off the waves in the hearts of the boys, Lin Shanghan felt that this girl looked a little interesting, and then he didn't think too much about it, so he turned his head and walked to the toilet at the other end of the corridor with Ge Xuanming.

The girl inevitably glanced at Lin Shanghan, turned her head and saw the class card of class 37 and turned around and walked in, their brief encounter seemed to be destined to have a story between them.
