Chapter II

"Students, you are already in the second year of high school, it will be too late to work hard in the third year of high school, you can still work hard to make up for it if you don't study well in the first year of high school, and most of the third year of high school is the review stage, do you really want to spend nothing in school." The teacher said that as if it was not enough, he slapped the table a few times in front of the lectern with emotion, and found that the person he had been staring at had no sign of waking up at all, so he picked up the chalk at hand and threw it over, missing once and twice. Yu Ming, who was separated from him by two rows, looked at him hatefully, "Chu Ziang!" Chu Ziang, who was ordered by the teacher, stood up suddenly, as if he hadn't come out of the dream, rubbed his eyes and wiped the saliva from the corners of his mouth. Yo, what did you dream about. Chu Ziang was in a daze, as if he was still reminiscing, "Hmm... Hey, hey, hey... James is a big fan of mine. "Yes, didn't you dream of picking up rubbish on the street!" Hahahaha, the classmates burst into laughter. This time it really pulled Chu Ziang back, he looked at his classmates looking at him, and Yu Ming's expression that seemed to be smiling but not smiling, he instantly understood, and scratched his head in embarrassment, "Teacher, I'm sorry." "The teacher didn't want to waste time with him, so he went to the door to punish him. Chu Zi walked out of the classroom in a daze, this old man Ding is really, he knows that it is aimed at me.

"Bag, what do you eat at night?" Zhixia walked towards the door of the classroom with his schoolbag in one hand and his bag in the other, "Let's discuss it with Xiao Chu later, didn't he always want us to accompany him to the newly opened restaurant." Walking out of the classroom, Zhixia looked into the corridor, "Why didn't this guy come to wait for us today." Bao Bao frowned, thought for a while, and said, "I guess it's going to drag the hall again, didn't he say that their teacher is Director Ding, it is said that it is the teacher who likes to drag the hall the most in our school." I nodded, "Then let's go and wait for him at the door of their classroom." After speaking, he pulled his bag upstairs and walked towards their class, and as soon as he walked around the corner, he saw that in the empty corridor, Chu Ziang was standing alone at the door of the classroom and picking his fingers. As soon as Chu Ziang looked up, he saw Zhixia walking towards him sneakily with his body bent, and his bag stood at the top of the stairs and did not come.

I squatted at Chu Ziang's feet, looked cautiously at the classroom, and then looked up at Chu Ziang and smiled, "Ah, why was the little devil punished for standing today." Chu Ziang's face was suddenly full of black lines, and he ran to his side like a spy just to come over and scold him, which really deserved to be Gu Zhixia. Chu Ziang quietly squatted down and leaned on Zhixia's ear, "Go to the corner of the stairs and wait for me, I should get out of class immediately." "Chu Ziang, what are you doing!" Chu Ziang was stunned for an instant, Lao Ding didn't know when he stood at the door of the classroom, holding his arms and looking at the two students squatting on the ground, "I asked you to stand to make you realize your mistakes, it's good for you to fall in love outside the classroom, right?" Hearing the teacher say this, Zhixia stood up suddenly, "No, teacher, I just helped his mother deliver something to him, I'm sorry to disturb your class." After saying that, he ran to the side of the bag without looking back, pulled the bag and walked to the corner of the stairs. Yu Ming looked out the window at Zhixia, who was running away, pursed his lips, not knowing what he was thinking. The teacher saw that Chu Ziang was still squatting there, and muttered angrily, "What are you doing there, come in for me." I pulled my bag and ran to the corner of the stairs and stopped, patting my chest, "I'm scared to death, this Director Ding is too fierce." Bao Bao smiled, "It's not you yet, you have to sneak over, how good it would be for us to wait for him at the staircase in the morning." "Hey, hey, didn't I want to go over and laugh at him when I saw him being punished." Bao Bao felt that these two people must have been a family in their last life, and the unfinished quarrels in their previous lives were saved in this life.

"It's been ten minutes, why hasn't it come out yet?" Zhixia's temperament was already in a hurry, and waiting for ten minutes was already the limit, but the bag was not in a hurry at all, leaning against the wall and listening to the song with headphones in one ear. "He's been called to the office." Zhixia turned around and saw Yu Ming standing behind him, and was startled again, "Xiao Ming, why are you always elusive," Yu Ming ignored her, and continued: "It should take a while for him to come out, he asked us to wait for him at the convenience store at the school gate." After saying that, he turned around and left, put away his headphones and pulled me to follow him, "Let's go, just go buy a bottle of water." Yu Ming walked downstairs and looked back, and when he saw that they were following, he turned around and continued walking.

"Boss, three bottles of Coke." Zhixia shouted at the boss when he entered the door, and sat down by the window. "Zhixia, you're here" The boss was a middle-aged woman, and when she saw Zhixia coming, her serious face suddenly smiled. Yu Ming sat down opposite, it seemed that the boss liked this girl very much, he didn't hide it, and directly asked the doubts in his heart, "Are you familiar with the boss?" Hearing this, Zhixia immediately became proud, "That is, there is no store near the school that I can't eat Gu Zhixia." Yu Ming hooked the corners of his mouth: "Look at you." "So, you might as well follow me, Chu Ziang will bring you bad, and you can only become famous by following your sister." Bao Bao looked at Zhixia and shook his head helplessly, didn't Zhixia and Xiao Chu find out how similar they were to each other. After a while, the boss came over with three bottles of Coke with straws and a few packs of snacks, "Zhixia, Ning Qian, this is a new friend." The bag sitting outside took the things brought by the boss, "Auntie, why did you give us snacks again, we will be embarrassed to come in the future if you do this." Zhixia was not polite at all, opened the snack and stuffed it into his mouth, "It's delicious, thank you, Auntie, this is our new friend, let's bring him to meet you." Yu Ming was speechless, see you, how to say it is the same as meeting parents, but he still smiled politely at the boss, "Auntie is good" "Okay, good, if you want me to say that good-looking people like to make friends with good-looking people, look at the friends around us Zhixia are all thick-eyed and big-eyed, why didn't Ziang come today?" As soon as the boss finished speaking, he was pushed open the door, "Come, Auntie, I heard you praise me from afar." The boss smiled, "You kid, sit down quickly, I'll go get you a bottle of water." "Auntie, I also want Coke, and the money will be transferred to your WeChat." "Got it." Yu Ming looked at Chu Ziang, who was covered in sweat, and pushed his Coke in front of him, "Drink me first, did you go to fight with the teacher, sweating so much." Chu Ziang thanked him, picked up the Coke and took a big sip, then took a breath and said, "Ten thousand words of inspection and ten laps of the playground, you have to choose which." Yu Ming and Bao Bao said in unison, "Write check", Zhixia shook his head and said to Chu Ziang, "It's okay, Chu, I understand you." Chu Ziang glared at Zhixia, "It's not all because of you." Zhixia admitted that he was at a loss, and it was rare that he didn't quarrel with him, and the four of them sat at the convenience store for a while and prepared to go to the restaurant.

So why Gu Zhixia is very familiar with the owner of this store, in fact, it is the day he came to the school to report, this store has just been renovated and opened on the first day, the boss is a single woman, she is afraid that her cat will be bored at home and take the store, who knows that the store was very busy that day, and ran away without looking at it for a while, and then Zhixia found the cat back. The boss said that Zhixia had to thank her for finding her daughter, so he said that he would not charge her money for buying water in the store in the future, but Zhixia refused, and just said that he would come often in the future. After coming and going, the boss became familiar with Zhixia Baobao, and Chu Ziang, who joined later, was originally a self-acquaintance, and soon became familiar with the boss.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, the other three except Chu Ziang were stunned. The room was brightly lit, and there was a boy playing a guitar and singing in the middle of the hall, which was out of step with the retro house decoration outside. Chu Ziang found an empty seat near the boy and sat down, "Why are you stunned, come and sit." Zhixia was the first to react and pulled the two of them over to sit down. Bao Bao, a good girl can't sit still here at all, "Chu Ziang, why did you bring us to this kind of place." Chu Ziang put his arm around Yu Ming's shoulder, "Oh, it's so stressful to study at school, don't I want to take you to relax." "Isn't the school your fixed hostel, and there is still pressure to sleep every day" "Zhixia, we are good brothers, right, we are good brothers, so I will have a few drinks with me today." Zhixia looked at the bag in embarrassment, she was fine, but she had never seen the bag drink. Bao Bao didn't want to ruin the fun, so he nodded reluctantly, "Okay, but I don't drink, I have to go back to school." Yu Ming pulled Chu Ziang's hand off her shoulder, "You and I are not brothers, we are classmates." "No, Xiao Ming, we also lent you the meal card in the restaurant today, and we can count it as a fateful friendship if we round it off, you can't drink it." Yu Ming was speechless when he heard his serious nonsense, seeing that the two girls had compromised, just drink it, it's better than listening to this guy chanting, Yu Ming stopped talking, which can be regarded as acquiescence. Everyone at the wine table talked about their own things, and even Yu Ming, who had just met, said a few more words.

Yu Ming's father is a policeman, very famous in the city next door, his mother is a housewife, his father is very busy and doesn't go home much, there are generally only two people at home, but he had an accident at the original school and injured his leg and recuperated at home for a summer vacation, and now he still can't exercise vigorously, which can be regarded as an indirect refusal of Chu Ziang's invitation, and later transferred to this school. Baobao's father works in the Education Bureau, and her mother is a pianist teacher, she said that she may have inherited her mother, and she likes to play the piano since she was a child, so she wants to be a pianist since she was a child. Chu Ziang and I are a bit similar, they are single-parent families, but he lives with his mother, her mother is very rich and is a senior executive of a company, he didn't say much about his father, only that his parents divorced when he was in junior high school. Chu Ziang looked at Zhixia who was sitting there with a wine glass and asked, "Little Zhixia, why don't you speak?" "Bao Bao is also very puzzled, she and Zhixia have known each other for so long, she has never heard Zhixia talk about family matters, and many classmates in junior high school say that she is an orphan, if she doesn't know that Zhixia will go home for a few days every summer, she really thinks that Zhixia has always been alone, but she is afraid that Zhixia will be sad, so she has never asked." It's okay, just listening to you talk about this, I suddenly miss my dad a little. Chu Ziang poured some wine into the empty wine glass in Zhixia's hand, "Is your father busy?" "My dad works in other places, and he only comes back for a few days every summer vacation" Yu Ming said he understood very much, and then asked what about your mother? My mom passed away shortly after I was born. The three of them were silent after hearing this, Yu Ming looked at the girl's dim gaze and lowered his head with some guilt, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to." Zhixia smiled, "It's okay, my dad is very good to me, I don't think I'm pitiful." The bag tightened and hugged Zhixia's shoulder, Chu Ziang looked at Zhixia seriously, "It's okay Zhixia, I am your brother, and my brother will cover you in the future." Zhixia knew that they were all feeling sorry for themselves, and they didn't exchange ideas with Chu Ziang, but just drank the wine in their hands silently.

Zhixia didn't know if she had deceived them, in fact, she didn't know where her mother was, and there had never been anything about her mother in her life since she could remember, and she also asked her father why she didn't have a mother to pick her up from school and cook for her. But every time I mention this, my dad will smile and touch her head and say, "Dad is also a mom, and dad can also pick up Zhixia from school and cook for Zhixia." After a long time, she didn't mention it anymore, anyway, it didn't matter if she had a mother or not.
