Chapter 22: A Serendipitous Encounter
Silk Middle School.
When the bell rang for the end of class, the quiet campus instantly became noisy.
In each classroom, young figures in school uniforms jumped out of the front and back doors, chatting in the corridors, or hurrying to the bathroom.
"Pei Chu, you're a little different today!"
In a classroom in the second year of high school, on the seats in the last row, Peng Cheng's small eyes looked carefully at Pei Chu's face, as if he knew him for the first time.
"What's wrong?"
Pei Chu glanced at Peng Cheng with some confusion while packing up the notes he had made in mathematics class.
"Look at this." Peng Cheng pointed to the note where Pei Chugang was sitting, "If I'm not mistaken, this ...... It seems like your first time taking class notes, right? Are you transsexual? ”
"Nope." Pei Chu shook his head, "I just think I can still listen to what the teacher says." ”
"Haha...... Really fake. Peng Cheng looked incredulous, "The two of us will be assigned to the last row, this is a special seat for scumbags, don't tell me, you want to start working hard." ”
"Well, I'd like to listen to more classes."
Pei Chu nodded solemnly, ignoring Peng Cheng's fuss, put away the notes on the table, took out the literature and history textbook to be taught in the next section, and prepared to start previewing.
In a math class just now, he was one of the few people who paid full attention to the lecture, and there were many things that he didn't really understand, so he was going to go back and look through the reference books to see the steps of solving the problem that the teacher talked about today.
Since he entered high school, grades have been crane tails. He has no interest in going to school, it can be said that his boredom is a bit serious, and in the past, he either lowered his head and secretly read the novels in the drawer, or held his chin and looked out of the window in a daze.
But now, he feels that sitting in the classroom is really a pleasure.
At least it's many times more comfortable than unloading and loading goods in the dock.
He never wanted to cherish this kind of life before, but only after comparing it did he feel the preciousness of life in school.
In fact, many truths are understood by people of his age, sometimes they just don't have self-control, or they don't feel the cruel side of life in society.
Now he has deeply felt that no matter what the situation is in the first layer of the dream world, the experience of the identity of "Pei Chu" in the dream world has greatly touched him in his heart.
"I don't want to move bricks one day, it's really hard work."
Pei Chu made up his mind in his heart, he used to think that there was nothing to be afraid of if he really couldn't get into college, or go out to work, at least he was much freer than staying in school.
But now he doesn't dare to think so, life is not so easy.
He once complained that his parents cared too little about him, and since he was a child, he became a left-behind child, and suffered a lot of bullying and white eyes.
And now, he can understand the hardships and difficulties more and more.
Think about the parents at that time, two rural couples with little education, just like that, they rushed to the big city, the mother started by washing clothes and cooking for people, and the father was doing some hard work everywhere. Over the past ten years, the family conditions have finally improved little by little.
In one morning's class, Pei Chu listened very carefully to everything from mathematics to literature and history to physics and chemistry.
There are also many problems encountered, especially the content of science, even if he is extremely concentrated, there are still a lot of things in the clouds. The liberal arts are better, basically he can master the content of the class, after all, this mainly focuses on memorization and memorization after explanation.
He didn't think about the dream anymore, anyway, there are some things that are useless to think about, and what should happen will always happen, he just feels that since he has experienced such a bizarre dream and seen a different side of life, he has to let himself do something.
"It's time to eat!"
Peng Cheng at the same table has always been the fastest runner after class, Pei Chu used to be with him, and he and the teacher almost left the classroom with their front and back feet.
This morning, he listened carefully to the class and took notes, and he didn't pay much attention to the bell just now, so he couldn't keep up with the rhythm.
Pei Chu was not in a hurry at all, at this time the cafeteria was crowded when there were many people, he simply sat in the classroom and flipped through this morning's notes, and then encountered some doubts, and looked at the content of the previous textbooks.
There are some things that he just didn't learn, and if he put his mind into them, it felt like they were actually simpler than he thought.
After staying in the classroom for about forty minutes, Pei Chu left the classroom and went to the school cafeteria to eat.
At this time, the number of people in the canteen was obviously much smaller, Pei Chu ordered a meat and two vegetarian dishes in front of a window, and made a rice, and found an empty place in the canteen to make it.
As soon as he picked up the chopsticks and was about to pull the food on the plate, suddenly a tall girl sat down in front of him.
"Uh......" Pei Chu saw clearly the girl sitting in front of him, slightly stunned.
"Hello! Come over for dinner so late! ”
Seeing his stunned expression, the girl sitting in front of Pei Chu smiled lightly, shook the chopsticks in her hand, said hello to Pei Chu, and then asked a little familiarly, "By the way, what class are you from, and what is your name?" ”
Pei Chu was a little surprised that the girl was familiar, and after the other party asked, he still replied politely: "Class 5 of the second year of high school, my name is Pei Chu." ”
"Pei Chu, is it? My name is Jiao Yuting, and I am also a sophomore in high school, in the first class of my sophomore year of high school. After listening to Pei Chu's words, the girl introduced herself very heartily.
"yes, I know."
Pei Chu muttered in a low voice, there are eight classes in the second year of Xiushui Middle School, and they are generally not classmates in the same class, so it is normal not to know each other.
But Jiao Yuting is the sports goddess of the school's women's basketball team, and there are probably not many people in the entire middle school who don't know about it, especially among the boys.
It's not that there are no girls who are better looking than Jiao Yuting, but if there is a look, the figure is also much inferior. In addition, the other party is a women's basketball team, often playing in the playground, with a high exposure rate, at the beginning of this year, a women's basketball game between Xiushui Middle School and Sanyang Middle School at the beginning of this year, Jiao Yuting scored 18 points, and her superb ball skills convinced many boys.
So in school, even if there is a girl who is really as good as Jiao Yuting, her popularity must be much inferior.
Jiao Yuting was also not too surprised that Pei Chu knew about it, her Captain Jiao was still very well-known in Xiushui Middle School, so she chuckled lightly and said to Pei Chu: "Classmate Pei, the basketball hit you yesterday, there is nothing to do in the future!" ”
"It's fine." Pei Chu's chopsticks fiddled on the food on the plate and smiled, "You said it to you yesterday." ”
"What an accident." Jiao Yuting stretched out her slender fingers, gestured in front of Pei Chu, then clenched them into fists, and said very seriously, "I usually dribble very steadily, and I won't let go at all, but I was touched when I turned around and dribbled......"
"Oh." Pei Chu's cheeks twitched slightly, and he lowered his head and began to deal with the food on the plate.
He didn't expect this basketball goddess who looked a little cold, but she was actually quite easy to deal with, but she really talked a lot......
"Don't you believe it, I've been playing basketball since I was 4 years old......" Jiao Yuting was completely unaware of Pei Chu's inner thoughts, and still said to herself.
"Believe!" He nodded his head while quickly pulling the rice.
"When I was in elementary school, the coach of the city sports school still wanted to recruit me, but my mother disagreed, she said that girls can't grow too tall......"
"Well, you're already tall......"
"It's still not enough, I'm only 1.75 meters, if I enter the professional team, it's better to grow 5-10 centimeters. By the way, do you play basketball regularly? Boys can grow taller by playing more basketball......"
"Really?"
"Wow, you eat so fast, you're half eaten in just one hour?"
