Chapter 33: New Semester and New Rivals
Wang Lu transferred to another school after the final exam in the second semester of her sophomore year of high school, and heard that her mother took her back to her hometown in the countryside.
Entering the third year of high school, my studies are becoming more and more intense, and every day there are endless volumes, endless ancient poems, and those major events and continents that are far away from us. Everyone consciously entered the college entrance examination mode, the boys hardly laughed and played in the corridor between classes, and the horoscope books and romance novels in the girls' drawers were replaced with exercise books.
Since Gu Zijin fell out of love unilaterally last semester, she seems to be a different person, except for eating, drinking and Lazar every day, all the rest of the time is spent studying, and she doesn't even go to her favorite commissary after class, grabbing the subject teacher and asking questions frantically. I vaguely felt that she became like this because of Chen Yao, but since the day of the graduation ceremony, I haven't seen him again, and I don't know which school he was admitted to, let alone mention it in front of Gu Zijin. Gu Zijin is a strong girl, and if falling out of love can become her motivation to study hard, it is not a bad thing.
Gu Zipei is still like that, he doesn't listen to lectures much, and he reads novels and plays games by himself. Sometimes Wang Ning couldn't stand it anymore, so he would drag him to the library after school to tutor him, Gu Zipei resisted, but in front of Wang Ning, his resistance was in vain. As Gu Zijin said, love is a thing descending from a thing, and Gu Zipei met someone who could subdue him and was willing to be subdued.
The selection competition for the qualification of piano art candidates is about to start again, and Lu Li began to go to the piano room frequently to practice. Because the art examination escort students not only require high professional quality, but also excellent cultural performance, so Lu Li's cultural class cannot be left behind, he can only go back and forth between the classroom and the piano room every day, and he is much more tired than us.
Recently, the English teacher's child was sick, and he left the classroom in a hurry after class, so Gu Zijin could only hold the grammar book and ask me.
"Zhen Zhen, why don't I tell Master Yuan to transfer me to sit next to you, Wang Lu will leave anyway." Gu Zijin closed the book and lay on the table to close his eyes and recuperate.
I refused, "No, I'm comfortable in a two-person seat now." ”
Gu Zijin opened his eyes and said to me mysteriously: "I went to the office in the morning to ask math problems, and I saw Mrs. Yuan talking to a transfer student, that girl is an art student studying piano, and she is very good-looking. She pointed to Lu Li, who was sleeping, "Be careful, your new rival is here." ”
In the Chinese class, Mrs. Yuan led a tall girl in, the girl had pretty short hair, the hair next to her left ear was pinned by a silver crescent-shaped hairpin, black and bright eyebrows, bright eyes, straight nose, small mouth, red lips tightly pursed, although she was silent, but revealed arrogance.
There was an immediate commotion in the class.
Mrs. Yuan patted the podium and motioned for everyone to be quiet, "This is a new art student in our class, please introduce yourself first." ”
The girl bowed politely, her voice crisp and sweet, "Hello everyone, my name is Jian Xi, I am a piano specialty, please give me more advice in the future." ”
After the girl straightened up, she swept the class with her beautiful apricot eyes, and finally fell on me, and after confirming that it was me, she slightly hooked the corners of her mouth.
She pointed at me and said to Mrs. Yuan, "Teacher Yuan, can I sit there?" Vera Ye is my cousin. ”
Master Yuan nodded, and Jian Xi walked up to me with a smile and greeted me, "Cousin, long time no see." ”
I smiled unnaturally, "Okay, long time no see." ”
Master Yuan cleared his throat and motioned for the class to begin.
After Jian Xi sat down, he took out his textbook from his schoolbag and listened to the lecture very carefully.
But I was uneasy, and secretly looked at Jian Xi several times.
Gu Zijin is right, my enemy is really coming. Jian Xi is my cousin and the last person I want to mess with in my life.
Jian Xi's parents work abroad all the year round, and for as long as I can remember, she has been fostered at her grandmother's house, she is beautiful and smart, and she is a little princess who is spoiled by her grandparents. But any princess will have princess disease, and Jian Xi is no exception. She is arrogant and domineering, and always feels that the best things in the world should belong to her, and "never keep what can be robbed, and never let what can be fought for" is her code. And I, this slightly clever cousin, became the object of her constant hostility.
When I was seven years old, my family went to Jian Xi's birthday party, and on that day I wore a newly bought blue princess dress, which was complimented by the adults present. Jance stared at me with hatred for a long time, and when she blew out the candle, she deliberately pushed the candle down, and the sparks flew onto my clothes, burning out a few holes in my new clothes.
When I was in the sixth grade, my teacher recommended me and Jian Xi to participate in the new concept essay contest held in the city, but Jian Xi stole my essay the night before the submission and wrote her name in a grand manner.
Two years ago, when I was admitted to Yangfan, my grandmother gave me a silver crescent-shaped hairpin as a gift for further education, but Jian Xi took a fancy to it, and she also snatched it away by her tricks, and now she is carrying it on her head.
"Zhenzhen, what are you looking at?"
Gu Zipei stretched out his hand and shook it in front of me, pulling me back from my memories to reality.
I don't know when class ended, and there was a circle of people around my seat, all of whom were talking enthusiastically to Jane Hee.
Jian Xi turned her head, "Sister Zhenzhen, you have been looking at my hairpin in class, do you really like it, I remember that when my grandmother gave me this hairpin before, you grabbed it with me for a long time." If you really like it that much, I'll give it to you. ”
As she spoke, Jian Xi reluctantly took off her hair clip and handed it to me, with a look of grievance.
The people around her couldn't stand it anymore, and they all hugged Jian Xi.
"Zhenzhen, how are you stealing things from your sister?"
"Zhenzhen, Jian Xi is so cute, how appropriate it is for her to wear this hairpin."
"Zhenzhen, I didn't expect you to look so ordinary, but your cousin is so good-looking."
"Qian Cheng, are you blind, who said that Zhen Zhen looks ordinary, and she is obviously very beautiful." Gu Zipei retorted excitedly, his voice was surprisingly loud, and the classmates in the class all laughed in unison.
I'm so embarrassed that I want to find a hole to get into, Gu Zipei, Gu Zipei, the blind person should be you.
I pushed the hairpin back into Jian Xi's hand, "I never like people, this hairpin is so beautiful, you might as well keep it for yourself." ”
After finishing speaking, he got up and pulled Gu Zipei out of the classroom.
Thinking of the embarrassment Gu Zipei created just now, I asked him angrily: "What are you going to tell me?" ”
Gu Zipei obviously didn't notice my unhappiness, he looked around, and then whispered in my ear: "I inquired, Chen Yao's guy is unlucky enough, before the college entrance examination, my father owed a lot of debt, mortgaged the house but ran away with the woman outside, his mother fell ill in a fit of anger, Chen Yao worked day and night to pay back the money, and after my sister found out, she went to the hospital to take care of his mother secretly." ”
I remember the last time I met Chen Yao, and how disheartened he must have been to say things like "I'm not as good as she thought."
"Then, where is Chen Yao admitted now?"
Gu Zipei sighed, "Hey, it's in the law department of Long University, in order to take care of his mother conveniently." In fact, his results can be focused on outside the province. ”
"When did you know that your sister liked Chen Yao?"
"When she was in her third year of junior high school, she suddenly gave up learning to paint, crying and begging my dad to send her to Yangfan. Later, I found a portrait of Senior Chen Yao in his room. My sister has been brainless since she was a child, and she couldn't get into Longda University at all with her grades, but she was determined to be with Chen Yao, and now she reads books almost every day until one or two o'clock in the morning. ”
Although Gu Zijin and Gu Zipei have always grown up fighting and making trouble, at this moment I saw the distress for my sister in Gu Zipei's eyes. The innocent and upright Gu Zipei seems to have grown up.
I patted Gu Zipei on the shoulder and comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll persuade her." ”
Gu Zipei nodded, suddenly turned his head and said to me seriously: "Zhen Zhen, that Jian Xi is not good-looking at all. I think you're prettier! ”
I was amused by Gu Zipei's serious energy, and my depressed mood because of Jian Xi's arrival was much better at the moment.
When the school bell rang, Jian Xi said to me with a smile while packing her schoolbag: "Sister Zhenzhen, the boy who said you were beautiful just now is Gu Zipei, the follower who always followed your ass in elementary school." After so many years, why is he still so visionless. ”
Jian Xi was in the same school as me in elementary school, and in the class next door to me, she naturally met Gu Zipei.
I was very disdainful of Jian Xi's behavior of chewing the root of his tongue behind his back, "After all these years, you are still so rude." ”
Jian Xi was so choked by my words that she didn't know how to answer for a while, and stared at me with round apricot eyes.
Lu Li passed behind me, and he gently grabbed the strap of my schoolbag and pulled me out of my seat, "Ye Zhenzhen, go home." ”
I flexibly turned around and stood side by side with Lu Li, "You're not going to practice today?" ”
"No, you don't."
Jian Xi stood up and stopped us, she looked at Lu Li, and said proudly, "Lu Li, don't you remember me?" In last year's provincial piano competition, I was the second place in Jian Xi. ”
Lu Li glanced at Jian Xi lightly, "I don't remember." ”
Jian Xi's originally flamboyant face collapsed suddenly, from childhood to adulthood, almost all boys would obey her. However, today Gu Zipei and Lu Li gave her two blows in a row.
Jian Xi grabbed me, her face bubbling with black air, "Cousin, my uncle said to let you take me back to your house." ”
The uncle she was talking about was my dad.
"What are you doing at my house?" I had a bad feeling in my heart.
"From today until the end of the art exam, I will live with you."
My face twitched slightly, and I suddenly felt that the future had become extremely dark and bumpy.
On the way home, Jian Xi dragged Lu Li to chat, starting to learn piano in elementary school, to how many people liked it in junior high school, and then to how many awards he won in high school.
Lu Li had a cold face and was silent throughout the whole process.
Until Jian Xi talked about the troubles when he was a child, "My cousin is timid, and she was scared by dogs when she was a child." Once, she went to the commissary alone to buy lollipops, and on the way home, she encountered a dog blocking the road and robbing her of candy, and my sister was so frightened that she fainted on the road. The point is that it's a puppy, and it doesn't even have teeth. ”
Lu Li turned his head and looked at me with a smile.
I felt extremely embarrassed, and hurriedly defended: "I fainted with low blood sugar, who is timid." ”
Jian Xi was interested when she saw Lu Li, and she shook out all the bad things I had when I was a child.
I sighed secretly in my heart, "A new rival is here!" ”
