After the evening self-study, it was more than eight o'clock in the evening, Lin Xu was too lazy to go back to cook, so he still found a restaurant outside and went back after dinner.

When he got home, it was already nine o'clock, and after he had put down his schoolbag downstairs for a short rest, he went upstairs to his attic room. First took his own Qingfeng Sword in the room, then opened the floor-to-ceiling window sliding door, went to the outside rooftop, and began to practice the "Ape Gong Sword Technique".

Among the luggage he brought with him to Pingyang, his Qingfeng Sword and Mingyue Sword were naturally must-haves. Speaking of which, these two swords were bought in the central square of Binh Duong, and they have been with him for almost a year now.

This knife and sword are bought at the stall, of course, the quality is not very good, but fortunately, the weight is enough, not the kind of so-called handicrafts of the old man and the old lady who are like fluttering iron sheets.

He bought it for practice, not to fight with people, so as long as the portion arrived, it was enough to hold it. Because at the beginning of the purchase, he wanted to do pure practice, and he didn't think about fighting at all, and he didn't even open the blades of his two swords.

However, since I bought them, these two swords have really not been used in combat, just for practice.

After walking to the center of the rooftop, Lin Xu first raised his hand and made a gesture of "Ape Gong Swordsmanship", then concentrated slightly, adjusted his breathing, and then unfolded the swordsmanship and practiced.

The sword momentum is together, but I saw that the rooftop was full of bright and dazzling sword light wandering. The sword wind whistled sharply, as if a strong wind had risen out of thin air.

After practicing twice in a row, Lin Xu put away his sword and stood. Then he stood silently and adjusted his breathing and internal qi, and turned back to his room.

When he got back to his room, he put away his sword, then went to the bathroom to wash up and take a shower, and then went to bed.

Sleeping until one o'clock in the morning, his already adjusted biological clock allowed him to wake up on time. Then sit cross-legged on the bed and begin to practice the internal strength of the "Qing Ming Jue".

He practiced until six o'clock in the morning, and he finished his work on time, dressed up, and prepared for school.

It was the first time he had started school yesterday, so the school had allowed him to arrive before 8 a.m. But after registration, today is the official school, he has to follow the normal schedule of the school, and he must arrive at school before seven o'clock. If it's still eight o'clock, I'll be late.

When he arrived at school at seven o'clock, he naturally had to get up an hour early. It takes time to get dressed, wash his face, eat and travel, etc., and he needs to leave enough time to avoid being late.

After getting dressed and tidying up, he still chose to eat out for breakfast. On the way to school on my bicycle, I chose a breakfast stall on the side of the road.

After breakfast, he arrived at school more than ten minutes early.

In the morning reading class, the head teacher Ye Jingyi rushed to the roll call. If you fail to arrive in time, one minute late will be counted as late, and if you are more than 10 minutes late, it will be recorded as absenteeism, which is very strict. Binh Duong No. 1 Middle School is similar to Wuxiang Middle School in this regard, although it is not like Wuxiang Middle School, which is semi-closed and semi-militarized, but the school's various rules and regulations are also very strict.

Maybe good schools are a little similar in this regard, that is, they are strict with students. The traditional Chinese concept of education believes that only a strict teacher can produce a high apprentice. Therefore, a school with strict management can also teach good students. Lin Xu actually doesn't agree with this point. But alas, he couldn't convince most people.

Lin Xu himself is a person who advocates freedom, so he is very disgusted with all strict rules and regulations, rules and regulations, etc. It's just that no matter how disgusted he is, he can't change anything, and in this environment, he can only passively accept it. This is one of the reasons why he is a little anxious to keep skipping grades, hoping to finish his studies as soon as possible. He really can't accept the various management and constraints of the school. Especially for Wuxiang Middle School, I've had enough. It's a pity that I couldn't get inspired earlier and wake up to the operation of skipping grades, otherwise I would have jumped early.

Fortunately, since he practiced martial arts, in the last year of Wuxiang Middle School, he has some privileges that are different from other students, which can be regarded as relatively free. And the current Pingyang No. 1 Middle School, compared with the semi-closed and semi-military management of Wuxiang Middle School, is much more relaxed.

After the morning reading class, there is a morning exercise and morning jog to allow the students to exercise. After the morning run, it was the first class of the morning.

At the end of the day, Lin Xu was basically still the same as yesterday, the teachers were talking about the first semester of high school on the podium, and he himself was studying the second year of high school on his own.

However, in the class this morning, someone discovered and broke out that Lin Xu and Ma Li were both from Wuxiang Middle School.

That is, at the end of the first class in the morning, the person who broke the news was a girl sitting in the back row of Ma Li, named Liang Xiaoting, who lived in the same dormitory as Ma Li. This girl usually likes to gossip, when the bell rang for the end of class, the substitute teacher just announced that she was not far from the end of class, she stood on the stool she was sitting on, and immediately seemed to be a lot taller, attracting the attention of the whole class.

Seeing that almost all the people were curious, she immediately said loudly: "Don't go, everyone, I have discovered a secret, do you want to listen to it?"

"Yes. ”

"Absolutely. ”

"Say it quickly. ”

"What's the secret?

Most of the people immediately asked curiously, but there were also people who didn't want to gossip and didn't want to hear it, so they planned to get up and walk out of the classroom. Lin Xu was one of them, when the teacher announced the end of class, he immediately got up and left his seat, intending to leave the classroom, lest there be people who were enthusiastic and continued to inquire and talk around him.

When Liang Xiaoting suddenly got up and stood on the stool, he was also attracted to attention. However, he just glanced at it casually, and he was not interested, and he was not interested in paying attention to the so-called secret in Liang Xiaoting's mouth. Whoever it was secret, he wasn't interested. After taking one look, he kept walking outside.

Who knew that Liang Xiaoting noticed him condescendingly at this time, pointed at him and said loudly: "Lin Xu, don't go, I just want to tell your secret!"

"Me?" At this time, Lin Xu had to stop and stand, looked at Liang Xiaoting and said puzzledly: "What secrets do I have?" But he was guessing in his heart that this girl, who had never met before and only met yesterday, could know what secrets he had.

As a skipping student who came in the class, Lin Xu was the focus of the class, and when Liang Xiaoting said that she was going to expose Lin Xu's secret, she immediately attracted the attention of the whole class. Even the other students who were originally not interested in Liang Xiaoting's words except for Lin Xu and planned to leave the classroom couldn't help but stop with interest. Almost everyone in the class looked at Lin Xu, and asked Liang Xiaoting to hurry up.

"Yes, that's you. Liang Xiaoting smiled smugly at Lin Xu and said, "Everyone has secrets, and you are no exception." ”

"Okay, then you say. Lin Xu smiled indifferently and said, "I also want to hear it, what secrets do you know about me?"

"Liang Xiaoting, don't say it. At this time, Ma Li, who was sitting in the front row of Liang Xiaozhu, suddenly stood up, turned around and said to Liang Xiaoting with some nervousness.

Originally, she didn't know what secret Liang Xiaoting was going to say, but seeing that Liang Xiaoting was going to tell Lin Xu's secret, she remembered that a classmate from Wuxiang Middle School came to her dormitory last night and talked to her about Lin Xu. Liang Xiaoting was next to her at the time, and now that I think about it, it should have been heard by Liang Xiaoting at that time. What Liang Xiaoting is going to say now must be that she and Lin Xu are in the same school as junior high school. Although she knew that she would definitely not be able to hide this matter for a long time, and sooner or later it would be known, but she still didn't want to be exposed so early.

"Why can't I say it?" Liang Xiaoting saw this, and asked Ma Li with a smile, "This is not something I made up blindly, this is a fact, and sooner or later it will be known." ”

"Don't say it anyway. Ma Li's face became more and more anxious.

"I'm biased. Liang Xiaoting didn't listen to her, and the classmates next to her also coaxed Liang Xiaoting to continue, and asked Ma Li why she didn't let her.

Lin Xu saw Ma Li open his mouth to stop him, but he also guessed what the so-called "secret" Liang Xiaoting was going to say, and he felt that eight or nine were inseparable, but before Liang Xiaoting said it, he couldn't be completely sure.

Liang Xiaoting paused with Ma Li, and immediately turned her head to the class and said loudly: "The secret I want to tell is that Lin Xu and Ma Li, the representative of our English class, were classmates in junior high school, and they went to the same junior high school, called Wuxiang Middle School. ”

Ma Li is really good at learning, especially in English. After entering high school, because her English score in the high school entrance examination was among the top in the class, she was assigned by the English teacher as the representative of the English class. In the second semester now, the class cadres and representatives of each class in the original class are basically the same, and they are still the same as last semester.

As soon as Liang Xiaoting's voice lagged behind, there was an immediate uproar among the classmates below, looking back and forth between Lin Xu and Ma Li, and at the same time couldn't help but discuss. There are also a few Fenxian classmates who said with hindsight, "I just said that the name of Wuxiang Middle School that Lin Xu went to is quite familiar, where have you heard it, it turns out that Ma Li is also from Wuxiang Middle School, not to mention that I can't remember it at all." ”

"Wow, really, these two are junior high school classmates?"

"It turns out that they have known each other for a long time, so why are they still pretending not to know each other from yesterday to now?"

"Is there any insider or secret in between?"

"Lin Xu, is it true?"

.........

"It's true. Although Lin Xu's voice was not high, as soon as he spoke, he suppressed the voices of everyone else, and then after everyone was attracted to look at him, he continued: "Ma Li and I did go to the same junior high school, it's not a secret, I should have said it when I introduced myself yesterday." As for the two of us, it's not as complicated as everyone thinks. Although we are from the same school, we really don't know each other. When I was in junior high school, Ma Li was always one year higher than me, not in the same grade as me, so we didn't have much to do with each other. When I was in junior high school, we met each other, but we didn't know each other, and we didn't say a few words. It's not that the two of us don't know each other, but we really don't know each other. ”

When the whole class heard this, they couldn't help but suddenly realize that Lin Xu was a skipping student. Before, they were misled by the relationship between Lin Xu and Ma Li who are now classmates, and they only felt that they were classmates now, and they should have been classmates before. I know it but pretend not to know it, so I feel that it's a little greasy inside. But now as soon as Lin Xu said it, he immediately figured it out.

The so-called classmate relationship is not that of the same class, and the relationship is relatively far away and quite weak, let alone not in the same grade. If you think about it carefully, you don't have any friendship and relationship with your classmates who are not in the same grade, and you know very little. Lin Xu and Ma Li seem to be in the same situation.

"Yes, that's how we are, we really didn't know each other before. After Ma Li heard Lin Xu's words, she couldn't help but glance at Lin Xu with some gratitude, and then immediately took over the words and said loudly.

"Since it's nothing, then why didn't you let Liang Xiaoting say it just now?" someone next to him questioned, "Lin Xu is right, it's not a secret." There are many junior high school classmates in our class. ”

Ma Li thought for a moment when she heard this, and said, "It's nothing, I just feel a little embarrassed to be said in public by Liang Xiaoting." And Lin Xu has always been younger than me before, but now he has skipped a grade and is in the same class as me, which in itself makes me quite embarrassed. ”

When everyone heard and thought about it, they all expressed their understanding and did not question any more. Liang Xiaoting, who was still standing on the stool, looked back and forth at Lin Xu and Ma Li, and there was no more information to explode. It's just that she looked at Ma Li, but her eyes were still slightly suspicious, and she felt that Ma Li didn't tell the truth. The relationship between the two in junior high school before is definitely not as simple as they say, and there should be something hidden. As for what it was, she didn't know now, and she had to continue to listen. 8)
