(14) Turning danger into safety after saber rattling
Before I could roar and accuse Cao Yunxiao of his stupidity, Chen Shi, the representative of the English class who liked to talk more and at the same time applied to be the anti-drug queen, interrupted the conversation between the two of us.
As soon as he spoke, everyone's eyes at the dinner table fell on me and Cao Yunxiao. Feeling these sights, I somehow turned red instantly, and even seemed to feel a little weak. Cao Yunxiao laughed twice, and then said:
"Aren't you going to research which dish is delicious? It's hard to come out for a meal, why don't you have enough to eat and then go back, right? ”
"Come on, who doesn't know that your family has a restaurant, you can't eat what you want. Don't hide it, you two must have some little secrets. ”
The look in Chen Shi's eyes when he said this was too familiar to me, because every time I gossiped about Cao Yunxiao, the look in Cao Yunxiao's eyes was exactly the same as he was now. I instantly had a bad premonition, feeling that these two people would say something uncontrollable, so I subconsciously wanted to stop Cao Yunxiao and ask him to stop talking. It's just that I'm a step late, and when I want to stop it, Cao Yunxiao has already finished talking with a proud face.
"We have a lot of secrets, from elementary school to junior high school, which one do you want to hear?"
After listening to Cao Yunxiao's words, I really had the urge to throw him under the table by an over-the-shoulder fall, and I tried my best to control, control and control, so I barely laughed, and clasped the hand holding my fist tightly on my leg.
It's just that I controlled myself, but I didn't control the development of things. Chen Shi only saw Cao Yunxiao's expression, and did not understand the dissatisfaction and provocation in his tone, so when he said this, Chen Shi smiled and concluded with a clear expression:
"Hey, I'll just say that Xiaobai doesn't usually have much contact with us, but he's like this with you, so that's the case, hahahaha......"
Chen Shi's words were ambiguous, and his laughter attracted laughter from a table of people.
I could clearly feel that my original shyness gradually turned into an inferiority, panic and anger in this laughter. I hung my head, my fists clenched tighter, and the idea of topping the table over and getting out of here became more and more apparent. It wasn't until I finally quickly raised my right hand to hold the table that the head teacher, who had just returned from the bathroom, suddenly spoke:
"My old woman is not here and you are smiling so happily? Xiaobai, what are you doing with your head down, what, you guys were joking with Xiaobai just now? ”
The head teacher's tone seemed very relaxed, but after all, her identity was there, even if it wasn't in class, we children still respected her like an adult, so when she asked like this, the atmosphere at the dinner table immediately became a little tense.
The children who were heckling were talking about topics that the teacher would definitely not want to hear, so they tried to fool them around. However, Fu Chengwen, who had been outside of this matter, didn't seem to let them get through the trick, and straightforwardly repeated the whole process with the head teacher.
Fu Chengwen's actions didn't make Chen Shi and them scratch their heads, and even Cao Yunxiao, the two parties involved, after listening to him, were a little confused. And he surprised us more than that, after he finished the story, he glanced at Chen Shi, and continued:
"I think Chen Shi is really suitable to be an entertainment reporter in the future, so if we become screenwriters in the future, maybe you can still take on the task of interviewing her."
Fu Chengwen's words are very deliberate, Rao is a person like me whose thinking has been very confused by emotions, and he can hear the meaning of his book. It's just a pity that the last thing Chen Shi seems to do is to observe words and looks, he thought that Fu Chengwen just found him a step down, so he immediately picked up his words and said:
"I really had the idea, but my mom didn't approve of me going to be an entertainment journalist. said that the reporter was too hard, so let me listen to her honestly in the future and be a little civil servant. ”
"My mom too, I said I wanted to learn the drums, and she thought I'd be a girl learning that kind of thing, and she wouldn't let me learn anything."
"Yes, yes, my parents are like this, anyway, as long as I like it, they must think it's something that is not doing business."
……
Chen Shi's words resonated with everyone, and the topic at the dinner table instantly rose to the issue of parents' education. Everyone first complained to each other about how unreasonable their parents were, and then they comforted each other, and then asked for help from teachers, hoping that the head teacher could teach parents a lesson, so that they would not discipline so strictly, and give the children a little space to breathe freely.
Cheng Zexin inevitably had to participate in this discussion, although she did not look at me, but she held my hand tightly throughout the whole time, as if she was worried that I would make some irrational move. I could clearly feel her nervousness, because her palms were sweaty, and even a little shaky. But I was held by her like this, but I had a peace of mind that I had never felt before, and the whole person calmed down.
I took advantage of the heated discussion to calm down my emotions, organize my thoughts, and then turn my head sideways and secretly look at Fu Chengwen.
Although Fu Chengwen and Cao Yunxiao always laughed at me for not having enough brains, in fact, I always felt that I was just a little slower to react. If I am given enough time to think when I encounter things, I will definitely be able to think of what they think, for example, now, I have figured out the series of things that Fu Chengwen did just now.
So in fact, he helped me out of the siege again so "without a trace", and by the way, he successfully changed the topic, maintained the atmosphere at the dinner table, and at the same time effectively controlled Cao Yunxiao's emotions.
Thinking about it this way, I really admire Fu Chengwen's mind, because if it were me, in such a short period of time, all I could think of was to flip the table and leave, this kind of solution to kill four birds with one stone, is to hollow out my brain, and I can't think of it.
So should he really be a first-year junior high school student? I have a little bit of a suspicion.
I just looked at Fu Chengwen while doing reading comprehension in my head. And Fu Chengwen probably sensed that someone was looking at him, and before I could retract my gaze, he put down his chopsticks and raised his head to look in my direction.
Peeking at the main master, I immediately stiffened and turned my head back, and sat upright. However, Fu Chengwen didn't mean to withdraw his gaze, stared at me for a long time, and only when I felt that my cold sweat was about to wet my clothes, he decided to let me go.
