Chapter 14: Forced to exchange postcards
New Year's Day is approaching, and the postcards on everyone's desks suddenly increase.
On Friday morning, Gao Wutong had just walked into the classroom when Yuan Chunzhu handed him a postcard.
"Teacher Gao, our class wishes you a happy new year."
"Thank you." Gao Wutong took the postcard and walked to the podium. There was a stack of postcards on the lectern, and I flipped through a few of them, all of which congratulated him on the New Year. Putting down the briefcase, he looked at it one by one, and there was no Liu Xiyue. A wave of disappointment came to his heart, and he quietly glanced at Liu Xiyue. Liu Xiyue lowered her eyes and flipped through the textbook, looking like she didn't care about herself.
When the bell rang at the end of the fourth period, there was a burst of cheers in the classroom, shouting "Happy New Year" and knocking on the lunch box and walking out of the classroom. Gao Wutong smiled and lowered his head to sort out the homework books and lesson plans.
A few students walked past the podium and placed a few more postcards on the podium.
"Happy New Year, Mr. Gao."
"Thank you and Happy New Year."
Gao Wutong smiled at them. After three or four minutes, the noisy classroom was so quiet that you could hear the wind and birds chirping outside the window. Gao Wutong sorted out the postcards on the table, happy and disappointed, and had a great feeling of "not coming, but not coming". After packing up the lesson plan workbook in a lost place, seeing that Liu Xiyue and Lan Lingmei hadn't left yet, she walked over and said with a smile:
"Not hungry? Don't want to eat yet? ”
"I'm waiting for Lan Lingmei to write a postcard."
"You're not that good, you're waiting for a postcard."
"Waiting for a postcard? What postcard is so important? ”
"She can't wait for that postcard, she's not even in the mood for lunch."
"The postman is here tomorrow, and I'm going to be hungry for a day."
"You're going to get sick from hunger. Teacher Gao showed kindness and gave her a life-saving card. ”
"This, this ......"
"Don't want to, don't you? Just say it. I knew you hated Liu Xiyue, so I'd rather give a lot to someone else than give her one. Alas, she still invites you to eat ice cream, and you don't even know how to reciprocate. Don't bother you, you can go. ”
Gao Wutong opened his mouth and stammered, choking for a long time before he spoke.
"You're talking nonsense. How could I hate it. ”
"If you don't hate it, you like it, so why don't you give her one?"
"I just don't have it on hand."
"If so, you'll send it?"
"yes."
"Words count." Lan Lingmei looked at a few postcards on the table and picked up one, "This one is blank, it's yours, write it." ”
Gao Wutong took it and took a look, and two ancient poems were printed on it: "There are no colorful phoenix wings, and the heart is a little clear." Gao Wutong's face was embarrassed and hesitant. Lan Lingmei pursed her lips disdainfully.
"Coward, it's a postcard, not a marriage proposal, what are you afraid of?"
"Write what?"
Lan Lingmei pointed to the postcard.
"Write here: Give Willow Creek Month. Here it is written: Gao Wutong. ”
Liu Xiyue smiled silently. Gao Wutong smiled after writing:
"Are you in the mood to eat?"
Lan Lingmei handed the postcard to Liu Xiyue.
"Please accept it, this is a postcard from Teacher Gao."
Liu Xiyue smiled and took the postcard.
"Teacher Gao, thank you!"
"Come and don't be rude. You should also send one to Mr. Gao. Lan Lingmei flipped through a few postcards on the table, "Which one do you want to send?" ”
"I don't want to give one."
"I'll pick one for you and make sure you're satisfied." Lan Lingmei pointed to one of them, "This one is the best." ”
The postcard was printed with an ancient poem: "Change my heart, for your heart, and remember each other deeply." ”
"Not good." Liu Xiyue shook her head.
Lan Lingmei shoved the pen into Liu Xiyue's hand and pressed it onto the postcard.
"It couldn't have been better. Write quickly, I'm going to be hungry. ”
Liu Xiyue struggled for a while, and wrote "Teacher Gao" and "Liu Xiyue" in the corresponding positions respectively
Lan Lingmei handed the postcard to Gao Wutong.
"Teacher Gao, this is a postcard from Liu Xiyue, please accept it."
"Thank you." Gao Wutong took the postcard, "I'll give you one too." ”
Lan Lingmei waved her hand when she heard this.
"What do you mean? I don't want to. ”
Liu Xiyue looked at several other postcards, one of which was printed with an ancient poem "The sea memory confidant is like a neighbor at the end of the world", so she took it and put it in front of Gao Wutong: "This one is suitable for Lingmei." ”
After Gao Wutong finished writing, Liu Xiyue took it and put it in front of Lan Lingmei.
"Lingmei, this is a postcard from Teacher Gao."
Lan Lingmei looked at the two of them suspiciously. Liu Xiyue smiled and stuffed the postcard into her hand.
"Such a smart man is starving. Let's eat. ”
When the two arrived at the teaching building, Lan Lingmei suddenly pushed Liu Xiyue with a sudden understanding.
"You two traitors, what is 'wanting to cover up', I can be regarded as having seen it."
Liu Xiyue smiled: "You're so hungry that you talk nonsense." I invite you this time. ”
Lan Lingmei said angrily: "Shouldn't you invite me?" ”
Liu Xiyue laughed: "It should be." ”
On Friday morning, the final exam finally came to the last subject, "Ideological and Moral Cultivation".
Gao Wutong and Zhao Panshi invigilated the ninety-fifth class.
The two of them walked around for a while, and sat at the lectern for a while.
More than 20 minutes after the start of the exam, Liu Xiyue covered her forehead with her hands and her eyes were slightly closed, looking very uncomfortable.
Seeing this, Gao Wutong hurriedly went over to look, and when he arrived at Liu Xiyue's desk, Liu Xiyue answered the question normally. Gao Wutong returned to the podium and sat down, silently observing uneasily.
Liu Xiyue took out a tissue to wipe the tip of her nose, took out a pair of eyes and put it on.
"If you are not nearsighted, why should you wear glasses?"
Gao Wutong couldn't sit still after thinking about it, and stood up to take a look. Before he could step off the podium, Liu Xiyue had already taken off his glasses and put them aside, glanced at Gao Wutong and continued to work on the question.
After a while, Liu Xiyue lay on the table, the test paper was pressed under her left hand, and her right hand rotated the pen to play.
Seeing this, Gao Wutong couldn't sit still again, and slowly paced to Liu Xiyue's desk. Liu Xiyue smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, sat up straight and began to write again.
An hour later, only Liu Xiyue and Lan Lingmei were left in the classroom.
Lan Lingmei looked at Gao Wutong and Zhao Panshi, flipped Liu Xiyue's second test paper to the first one, and moved it to her side, copying it while reading, as if no one was invigilating.
Gao Wutong was worried that the inspector from the Academic Affairs Office would suddenly come in, so he walked to the desks of the two.
"Lan Lingmei, you move a little to the left, Liu Xiyue, you move a little to the right."
Lan Lingmei squinted at Gao Wutong and moved a little to the right, closer to Liu Xiyue.
Liu Xiyue smiled at the corner of her mouth, and she didn't move as if she didn't hear it.
Gao Wutong shook his head helplessly and returned to the podium to sit down.
After more than ten minutes, Lan Lingmei handed in the papers and left the classroom.
"Teacher Gao, there is only one person left, just look at it."
After Zhao Panshi left, Gao Wutong went over to look at Liu Xiyue's test papers, and they had all been completed.
"I'm done and I'm done. I'm hungry. ”
"I haven't checked yet. When the time is not enough, the students are urged to submit the papers in violation of the rules. ”
Liu Xiyue slowly flipped through the test papers repeatedly, and glanced at Gao Wutong proudly from time to time.
"Okay, okay, you check slowly, and it's okay when you get to the ground."
Liu Xiyue smirked and squinted at Gao Wutong.
"Talking counts?"
"What did I say?"
"I've memorized it.
"Okay, okay, just hand it in and leave when you're done."
"The more I push me, the more I don't pay."
dragged on for the last ten minutes, and Liu Xiyue finally got up to hand in the papers.
"Teacher Gao, you see how good I am, hand in the paper ten minutes early, so that you can go to dinner."
"I'm starving from all the strength to walk."
Liu Xiyue smiled happily.
"Teacher Gao, goodbye!"
