Chapter 1: First Sight

From the first to the second year of junior high school, Liu Xiyue didn't feel much before it ended.

Her father Liu Zongkai and mother Yang Lanzhi met at the State Normal School, and after graduation, they returned to their hometown together to become primary school teachers. After teaching mathematics for a few years, Liu Zongkai quit his job to start a business and contract to plant fruit trees in barren mountains. Yang Lanzhi has been teaching Chinese in primary schools. Her brother Liuxi left school after graduating at the beginning of next year. She vaguely felt that it was not good, but she didn't know what she should do.

Liu Xiyue often received love letters and anonymous gifts, and her classmate Zhu Menfu often asked her to skip school to eat, drink and have fun. Whenever Liu Xiyue hesitated, Zhu Menfu would enlighten her: "What's the use of good grades? College students are becoming less and less worthy, and even if they become teachers, their monthly salary is pitiful. What about poor grades? It's not the same to live a good life. In a few years, the two of us will join forces, and it will be easier to make money. ”

Liu Xiyue wanted to play but was afraid that her parents would be angry, so she often sighed.

"A day of playing is as short as an hour, and listening to a lesson is as long as a year. School is so boring! ”

In the second semester of the second year of junior high school, Liu Xiyue only had a Chinese score of 80, and the rest had just passed.

Liu Zongkai wanted to beat her, but he couldn't give up. Yang Lanzhi complained:

"It's not your fault, give her some money a day, so that she can fool around."

"Such a big girl," Liu Zongkai sighed helplessly, "The classmates and friends who are often together are very rich, and she can't do it without some money!" Look at Zhu Menfu, full of famous brands, spending money lavishly. It's not that I don't have money, and I can't let my daughter be too shabby. ”

The summer vacation is coming to an end, and Liu Xiyue is coquettish to Liu Zongkai.

"Dad, it's so tiring to go to school, I don't want to go to school anymore, I'm going to drop out."

Liu Zongkai was silent for a long time, his face full of disappointment, and he sighed deeply.

"Every time you ask for money, how often do I not give it to you? Your brother didn't get anything after graduating from junior high school, if you can't even get a junior high school diploma, where will I put my mother's face? ”

Zhu Menfu asked about dropping out, and Liu Xiyue pouted.

"My dad is a bitter man, and I can only mix it up until I graduate."

On the morning of September 1st, no matter how Yang Lanzhi called, Liu Xiyue just closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, Yang Lanzhi lifted the quilt in a fit of anger, pulled her ears up. Liu Xiyue rubbed her ears.

"My real mother, is this your birthday present to me?"

"Yes, you're sixteen, it's time to be sensible, get washed up and go to school."

After school on Wednesday afternoon of the second week, Liu Xiyue and Zhu Menfu looked around in the corridor on the second floor.

A male teacher on the basketball court caught Liu Xiyue's attention. The male teacher, dressed in blue shorts and a short-sleeved sweatshirt, had a well-proportioned body, a loud voice, and quick movements, and was leading a group of boys to play football. There was a group of girls standing by the court, and her cousin Liu Mingyan, who had just entered the first year of junior high school, was also there.

"Who's that teacher? Like a high school student. ”

"I heard that there is an intern college student who teaches freshmen, and it may be him."

A boy kicked off, and the football flew straight towards Liu Mingyan's head. Liu Mingyan was talking to the classmates next to her, and when she heard everyone screaming, she panicked and forgot to avoid it. The teacher was not far away, he jumped up and stretched out his hands in two steps, grabbed the ball in his hand, ran a few steps forward and then stood firmly, smiled and threw the ball to a boy. The students applauded and cheered, and several boys stretched their hands to imitate it.

"This guy may have been a football goalkeeper." Zhumen Fudao.

Liu Xiyue's eyes followed the teacher closely.

"I didn't find football good before."

A boy kicked the ball crookedly again, flew towards the second floor, and landed in the corridor next to Liu Xiyue. The teacher trotted down the corridor, looked up and smiled at Liu Xiyue:

"Classmate, please help pick it up."

Clear and standard Mandarin is like a natural sound, the handsome and well-defined smiling face is full of vitality, the concave and convex arm muscles are obvious, the pectoralis major muscles are distinct, thin but strong and powerful, the eyes are black and white, clear and profound, containing a kind of déjà vu.

When their eyes met, Liu Xiyue froze. The teacher also looked at her and was stunned.

"Classmate, please help pick it up."

Liu Xiyue came to her senses, blushed, and trotted a few steps to pick up the ball and throw it down.

"Thank you, classmate!"

The teacher caught the ball, looked at her again, and turned to walk back to the court.

"It's like I've seen it before, it's weird."

Liu Xiyue looked at his figure, reminiscing about the eyes and smile, her heart was soft and warm as she had never been, and she looked at the court obsessively. Zhu Menfu felt very uncomfortable in his heart, and frowned.

"There's a new cold drink shop at the crossroads, go try it."

"You go first, I'll wait for Mingyan."

"If you want to watch football, there are a lot of live shows on sports channels."

"It's not the same. Anyway, you go first. ”

After more than half an hour, the teacher gathered the boys who were playing football and said a few words. Xue said "goodbye Teacher Gao" loudly, some walked to the school gate, and some went back to the classroom.

"It turned out to be surnamed Gao." Liu Xiyue followed Teacher Gao, and when she saw him walking towards the canteen, she couldn't help but smile: "I'm hungry now, so the canteen is on fire." "When Liu Xiyue was thinking about it, Teacher Gao came back again. Holding two thin bamboo sticks and a few straws in his hand, he walked to the rectangular flower bed by the side of the court, stepped into the flower bed, and took the bamboo pole to compare and try among the clusters of flowers.

Liu Xiyue understood. A student had just kicked the ball into the flower bed, and he was going to deal with the smashed flower. Liu Xiyue's heart was warm, and she moved to the other end of the corridor, facing the flower bed downstairs, and listened attentively. Teacher Na Gao stuck a thin bamboo pole next to a broken cosmos, leaned on the bamboo pole, and pulled a straw with both hands to prepare to tie it. Principal Lu Mingli passed by and stopped and smiled:

"Xiao Gao, you are really a flower messenger!"

"This cosmos plant has a lot of branches, and there are still a lot of buds that have not opened, which is a pity."

"You're working hard now, and you're going to wilt in two months."

"But those flowers have seen the world, and they will be happy."

"Your imagination is too rich!"

"It's the only bloom they have in this life."

"Next year there will be new branches and new flowers."

"But it's not them anymore."

Lu Mingli laughed and left. Liu Xiyue was stunned.

Teacher Na Gao tied the cosmos stems, and inserted bamboo sticks to tie and support a dahlia. The dahlia flowers were so large and drooping that they almost broke the stems. After the bundling was completed, Mr. Gao gently touched the dahlia flowers, sniffed them closely, and touched the stems of the cosmos and a few buds that were about to bloom, and smiled with satisfaction. That clear smile seems to exude a warm fragrance.

Liu Xiyue's body and mind were soft, and her imagination was fluttering, as if she was the cosmos and dahlia, and it took a long time to save her senses, and she caught a glimpse of Liu Mingyan walking towards the school gate, and hurriedly ran back to the classroom, stuffed the textbook and homework book into her schoolbag three times and two times, and rushed downstairs to catch up with Liu Mingyan.

"Good sister, what was the name of the teacher just now?"

Liu Mingyan looked at Liu Xiyue and smiled.

"I'm so thirsty, I can't speak, I really want to eat ice cream, but I don't have the money."

Liu Xiyue gritted her teeth and smiled, took out two yuan and put it in Liu Mingyan's hand.

"Good sister, sister, please eat."

"Thank you, Sister Bosom! The teacher's name is Gao Wutong, a college student who came to intern, and he practiced for a semester, teaching Chinese in the first two classes of junior high school, and when we were the deputy head teacher of the 51st class, from Sanjiang City, the Chinese Department of Normal University, the fourth grade, 21 years old, the head teacher said this. Do you have a crush on him? ”

Liu Xiyue laughed and touched Liu Mingyan's head.

"It's he who has a crush on your sister."

"Silly big sister!"

When Liu Xiyue was stunned, Liu Mingyan was gone. Out of the school gate, Liu Xiyue looked back at the teaching building and the teacher's dormitory, and inexplicably felt that the school had changed, become cute, and become likable.

After returning home, Liu Xiyue turned out the class sportswear and put it on after taking a shower.

While eating dinner, Yang Lanzhi pulled Liu Xiyue's collar and looked at it.

"Good daughter, why do you suddenly like to wear class uniforms? Can't tell the difference between home and school? Didn't you kill and wear it before? ”

Liu Xiyue kissed Yang Lanzhi, shook her long hair, and said with a smile:

"Dear mother, I am only one year away from graduation, I already have lofty ideals and lofty goals, I want to put on my armor, study hard, and make progress every day."

Before the words fell, Liu Ximing squirted a mouthful of rice onto the table.

Half an hour after dinner, Liu Xiyue went back to her room on the second floor and started to do her homework. After doing a few Chinese homework, she unexpectedly felt less boring than before, on the contrary, there was even some indescribable fun. After finishing her Chinese homework, she did her math homework. There was a geometry proof problem that she couldn't do, so she put the math aside and took out her English homework to do.

"Willow Creek Month, Willow Creek Month."

Someone suddenly whispered outside the back window. Liu Xiyue got up and looked out the back window. Zhu Menfu showed his head on the backyard wall and waved at her happily.

"There is a new karaoke store on North Street, the sound is very good, I asked a few classmates to sing, and I will leave you. Let's go, show their singing voices, and open their eyes. ”

Liu Xiyue hesitated for a moment and shook her head.

"I'm going to do my homework, you guys go ahead."

"Do you do your homework?" If you don't pay it, who will dare to say you? Waste of life! ”

"I want to do it myself. That's all, goodbye. ”

Liu Xiyue closed the window and continued to do her English homework. By the time the physics homework was finished, I somehow knew how to do the geometry problem. She threw herself on the bed excitedly, shaking her hands and feet wide.

"This girl is not stupid!"

Yang Lanzhi walked into the room, Liu Xiyue was pondering the periodic table of elements, and Yang Lanzhi found out when she arrived beside her. Yang Lanzhi picked up her homework book and flipped through it, touching her head happily and confusedly.

The next morning, Liu Xiyue woke up before the alarm clock rang. Entering the school gate, Gao Wutong was running on the court. Liu Xiyue glanced at it a few times, intentionally or unintentionally, and happily felt that she didn't get up early in vain.

When handing in the math homework, the section representative ignored Liu Xiyue as always and walked forward.

"Hey, why don't you take me homework?"

The representative turned back, picked up the homework book and flipped through it, and let out an "oh".

"I did it myself."

"You suddenly wore a class uniform today, and you didn't recognize it."
