twenty-four

Chen Yue stood in the hallway outside the office and waited. Whenever there was a sound of footsteps on the stairs behind him, he had to turn his head to see if it was the head teacher. When he turned back for the third time, the head teacher walked up.

"Chen Yue, is there something wrong?" The head teacher looked up and immediately recognized him and asked.

"It's nothing." Chen Yue glanced at the teacher, then lowered her head and whispered, "It's just... I don't think I'm suitable to be a class leader, so let it be up to someone else. ”

He was straight to the point, and the head teacher had no clue for a while and didn't understand what he was talking about. "Come in and say."

Chen Yue followed the head teacher into the office.

The head teacher sat down, put the course transcript on his desk, and asked, "You said you weren't suitable, why?" ”

"It's not good enough, I just don't feel like I'm a good fit. I've never been a class leader before. ”

"But you got a pretty good score in your midterm exam, and you didn't be a class leader, so it happened to be an opportunity to exercise, didn't it?"

In front of this male teacher, who has been in society for many years, Chen Yue stumbled when she spoke, and she didn't pay attention to it. "Grades are grades, and I think there are other conditions that should be required to be a good class leader."

"Oh? Let's talk about it. The class teacher looked at his students with appreciation.

He was a little overwhelmed, but he was trying to think. "For example, you have to take the lead, and for example, you have to be able to bring everyone together."

"And you can't do that."

"Yes, I can't."

"You don't want to be a squad leader anymore?"

Chen Yue lowered her head, stared at the corner of the table standing on the floor, and hummed quietly.

"It's okay." The head teacher smiled kindly, "I didn't ask you to take the lead in what to do in front of everyone, and I didn't ask you to organize a party." When I chose you to be class president, I decided that you were the best candidate. You're the only boy in the class, but your grades are very good and you're very careful. The teacher trusts you, and there is no one else in this class leader but you. ”

"But I still don't want to be a squad leader."

"Why?"

I asked him why, but he had just answered.

"I just don't feel like I'm a good fit."

"Feelings?" The head teacher laughed, but this time with a hint of self-deprecation. "Feelings? Feel. Feel! He repeated the word three times, but he couldn't figure out the reason. It's weird that you feel that way. Where does this feeling come from? ”

The bell rang for the second period at this time, Chen Yue didn't look like he was going back to the classroom, and the head teacher didn't urge him to leave.

"Not from anywhere. It's just that I personally think that I can't continue to be qualified as a class president, please, teacher. ”

How can anyone ask for such a man? The head teacher felt that his words were a little rude, and immediately said coldly: "Go back, go back, it's okay, you are very good as the class leader." I'm relieved. ”

Hearing the words of the head teacher, Chen Yue not only did not leave, but even stood more firmly in place.

"Let's go back."

The head teacher didn't look over his face and put the book in order. He turned his head again and found that Chen Yue was still stubbornly motionless. "Are you determined that you don't want to be a squad leader?" The head teacher asked very seriously, even with seriousness.

"Yes, I don't want to." Chen Yue affirmed.

The head teacher looked at him for a while, then shook his head helplessly and regretfully, "Okay, I see." Hurry up and go to class. ”

Chen Yue still hasn't left, he still has something to ask. "I see, the teacher agreed to your request. Why don't you go back to work? When the head teacher saw that he hadn't left, he asked.

"Teacher, I wonder if you can help me change my seat?"

"Change seats?" The head teacher was surprised and asked, "Which seat do you want to change to?" ”

"Just next to it."

"Side? Who's next? ”

"It's not that you want to be next to anyone, aren't there a lot of empty seats in the class, I want to change one casually, can I be a teacher?"

"You want to be in the first row, right?"

"No, it's not."

"Oh Chen Yue, then I really don't understand where you want to sit, what does it mean to change casually. There are only four students in the class, so isn't it nice to be seated right now? ”

"I want to move to three groups."

"You're saying you're going to sit alone?"

"Hmm."

"No, no, no!" The head teacher's face showed a serious and angry expression, and he felt that Chen Yue's request was too much. "Don't change it. What are the seats changing?! If they were all like you, wouldn't they be a mess? There are only four students in total, and you want one seat per person, it's nonsense. I wouldn't agree. ”

Chen Yue noticed the teacher's angry face and immediately realized that his request could not be completed.

"Alright, let's go back to class." Chen Yue slowly lifted her steps and moved, turned around and walked away.

At the end of the second class in the afternoon when Chen Yue made such a request, the head teacher went to the classroom he led Ren and called Deng Lixiang to the office to talk.

"Teacher, what did you call me?" Deng Lixiang followed the head teacher and asked.

"I'll talk about it when I get to the office."

Deng Lixiang nodded approvingly.

In the office, after the teacher sat down, Deng Lixiang asked anxiously: "Teacher, what is the matter with calling me here?" ”

"Have you and Chen Yue had any minor problems recently?"

"Huh?" The teacher asked such a sudden question, Deng Lixiang didn't have time to react, and replied softly: "No." ”

"Is it awkward?"

"Nope."

"Have you ever hit him or scolded him?"

"Nope."

"That's weird." The teacher whispered to himself.

"What's the matter, teacher, why are you asking this?" Deng Lixiang wanted to understand the meaning of the teacher's question very much, and couldn't wait to ask.

"Today, Chen Yuelai asked me to change my seat, I don't know why, so I asked if you had a quarrel, or if you did something that he couldn't accept."

Deng Lixiang immediately asked, "He came to the teacher to ask for a seat change?" ”

"Yes, or I wouldn't..."

Speaking of this, Deng Lixiang thought thoughtfully, and then said with a smile: "Teacher, don't worry, we haven't quarreled since we became the same table." However, I am very sorry that I may have done something wrong. ”

"It's not your fault, the teacher is not looking for any of you's fault, he just wants to find out what the reason he did this, I just asked you briefly, and I won't ask more about the specific situation."

The two paused. The head teacher then cautiously asked, "How is your relationship?" "The relationship between men and women is not a topic that teachers and students often talk about.

"Me with him?" Deng Lixiang raised her face slightly to look at the head teacher, and the head teacher squinted at her, making people wonder: Why did the teacher ask this. "It's okay." She replied vaguely.

"You didn't bully him?" The teacher asked.

Girls bullying boys? "Absolutely not!" Deng Lixiang shouted and said, "Why should I bully him? To be honest, he's a good tablemate, and I can't do that. ”

After listening to the student's words, the head teacher smiled lightly, "If that's the case, it's the best." Okay, okay, you go back to work. ”

She nodded meekly and left the office, returning to the classroom before class. She walked to her seat and was about to ask Chen Yue, who was looking down to read a book, but she didn't squeak and sat down silently. She was thinking: Ask him, and the answer she gets must be ambiguous. What does he mean, and why does he switch seats to the teacher? Could it be that I really did something to embarrass him? Why did the teacher ask me if I had bullied him, I was a girl, he was a boy, it was obvious that I had no means to bully him. Could it be... He deliberately said bad things about me. Deng Lixiang didn't dare to imagine that this tablemate, who usually seemed kind and honest, would treat her like this and talk about her stalk in secret. Is it really as Xu Qiangqiang said: he is a creature on the surface, a two-faced person who is different inside and out. In this regard, although she was not yet convinced that Chen Yue was such a person. However, with this incident, she now has to watch out for him. From then on, she became more impatient with him and spoke more coldly. "Cut! What is there to sue. I'm too lazy to sit with you. She muttered to herself. At some noon, during the break before class, Zheng Lixiang would lie on the table and fall asleep. In the past, she would naturally put her face on her arms and close her eyes comfortably. But since that day, the day she doubted the character of her tablemates, she would always bury her face in her arms, or pin her face past Chen Yue. Because she felt that if he saw her sleeping appearance, she would feel sick.
