……

"That's pretty much it about divorce."

Zhao Xuefeng glanced at Jiang Shengnan, who was sitting beside him, and sighed.

"These are what Teacher Jiang told me – Teacher Jiang is the homeroom teacher of Xu Jing's first year of high school and made a home visit to her."

"Xu Jing was in the elite class when she entered the school, but her grades have been regressing since then, and she was finally assigned to the ordinary class."

"You probably know the rest yourself. She is introverted, has low self-esteem, and is sensitive, and not many people want to talk to her, let alone be friends. Because of the isolation of others, she has become more and more closed, which is slowly affecting her academic performance. ”

"That's about it."

Jiang Lan listened to the head teacher's story in silence.

The fists were clenched tightly unconsciously.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know ...... before"

"In fact, there are darkest moments in everyone's life, and you and I are the same. You tell me? ”

Seeing Jiang Lan's solemn expression, Zhao Xuefeng smiled.

"And the luckiest thing in life is to meet a noble person in the darkest moment, spend a long night with you, and wait for the dawn."

"Well, thank you, teacher."

Jiang Lan slowly clenched his fists.

"I ...... will help Xu Jing. ”

"Well, you are willing to make friends with Xu Jing, and even willing to help her, the teacher is very happy - although I usually feel that you are quite sullen, you are a very kind boy and very fine."

"Teacher, something is wrong with you......"

“？？？ you, Teacher Jiang is still there! ”

Jiang Shengnan stuck out his tongue playfully on the side: "The most important quality is actually perseverance~"

Jiang Lan: "......"

Zhao Xuefeng: "......"

"What's wrong? Learning requires perseverance~ Isn't it? ”

Jiang Shengnan tilted his head innocently.

"Hmm...... The teacher was right. ”

Jiang Lan tried to show an innocent smile, "Then I'll go first...... Goodbye, teacher! ”

"Stop the water, wait a minute."

"Is there anything else, Brother Feng?"

"It's fine, I have a little doubt."

Zhao Xuefeng held Jiang Lan's transcript and looked at him for a while, and looked at him with complicated eyes: "You also had good grades when you were affiliated with Shandong University before?" ”

Jiang Lan nodded sincerely: "It's not bad." ”

"Less, you're not bad. Look at your performance in mathematics and English, and the level of the first echelon of the top class. At first, I thought your original class 19 was a general class...... It turned out to be a top class. ”

Zhao Xuefeng touched his lean chin.

"In that case, why did you make such a crazy decision in your final year to come and study literature?"

Jiang Lan didn't answer immediately, but seemed to think about it.

"Isn't it convenient to say? If there is something unspeakable, there is no need to ......"

"Actually, there's nothing hard to say."

Jiang Lan took a long breath and looked at the noisy summer cicadas in the treetops outside the window.

"I don't want to study science, I want to study literature, it's as simple as that. For the past two years, I have drifted further and further down the wrong path, even if it seems infinite to outsiders......"

"Standing at the crossroads of the future, I don't want to go along with it. Instead of lingering, it's better to go crazy. ”

Zhao Xuefeng stared at his eyes: "Even if you can't get the desired ending?" ”

Jiang Lan did not avoid his gaze: "Even if you can't get a satisfactory ending." ”

"Life is inherently crippled—in every sense. And the meaning of life is to turn imperfect stories into hope. ”

"It doesn't matter how it ends, it's important to live in the moment. What do you say? ”

"Not bad." Zhao Xuefeng clapped his hands approvingly.

"Handsome!" Jiang Shengnan also gave a thumbs up with bright eyes, and his expression was like a high-end version of Xu Jing.

Jiang Lan kept smiling sullenly, thinking that they wouldn't find out that the very coercive sentence was actually Bangsanli......

"Okay, then you ......"

Zhao Xuefeng's gaze fell on Jiang Lan's left wrist mark.

"Huh? What is this? ”

Jiang Lan turned his hand behind his back with a dodgy gaze: "Uh, I accidentally drew it." Well, if it's okay, I'll go to dinner first. ”

"Oh...... I see. ”

Zhao Xuefeng nodded and smiled at him.

"Then you go quickly, don't let her wait too long."

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the imprint has almost disappeared, and only two or three sporadic strokes remain, otherwise it would not have been fooled......

"By the way, Brother Feng, remember to fulfill your promise."

"Let go of your heart, promise you to fight real CS and you will definitely fight!"

"Oh?"

Jiang Lan took out a voice recorder without any waves and turned up the voice to the maximum:

[Don't be the first, if you can enter the top 50 at the end of this term, I will directly ask everyone in our class to play live CS! ] 】

"You, where did you get it from!?"

"It doesn't matter."

Jiang Lan bent down and gently leaned into Zhao Xuefeng's ear.

"Teacher, you don't want Zhao Zichen to be bullied in junior high school, do you?"

“……”

"I'm leaving, goodbye Teacher Zhao, goodbye Teacher Jiang."

"Goodbye Xiaoshui~"

Jiang Shengnan waved goodbye to him, looked at Zhao Xuefeng who was in a petrified state next to him, and smiled at him elegantly but not embarrassed.

In order to encourage students to study hard, Mr. Zhao really worked hard! Admire~"

"I will also try my best to help you, and will provide you with free clothing and makeup services~"

“……”

Grass.

Zhao Xuefeng held back a sentence of national quintessence in his heart. He doesn't admire Jiang Lan now, he wants to beat this crumb......

……

School supermarket.

Wu Jiayan picked out a lot of snacks and was about to check out, but saw Xu Jing coming out of the stationery area.

“…… Good squad leader. ”

After being stunned for a while, Xu Jing took the initiative to greet her, and her voice was a little small.

Wu Jiayan nodded, lined up behind Xu Jing, and didn't know where to look, just looked at the pen in her hand.

Xu Jing is holding three black pens in her hands - one is an ordinary black pen, and the other two are simple and luxurious in appearance, which is not cheap at a glance.

Wu Jiayan was a little confused: "Why do you want to buy two kinds of pens?" ”

Xu Jing lowered her head and did not answer her, and the word "11" flashed on the screen when she swiped the card.

This guy is usually reluctant to even buy snacks, but is willing to spend money to buy a pen for five yuan? Still buy two at once?

Xu Jing did not leave the supermarket immediately, but stood at the door for a while, waiting for Wu Jiayan.

"Is there a secret?"

When she left the supermarket, Wu Jiayan was still asking relentlessly. Girls are born with a gossip heart, even she is no exception.

Xu Jing's face was flushed, and she shook her head shyly: "No, I will use one piece of this branch myself, and five pieces will be given to Jiang Lan." ”

"That's ......"

When he heard that it was for Jiang Lan to give this crumb, the little squad leader subconsciously pouted.

Wait, why did she buy two expensive ones? Could it be that there is an unspeakable third party behind it......

Before Wu Jiayan could deduce who the third party was, Xu Jing handed her another five-yuan pen.

The two looked at each other and winked at each other.

"Well, I forgot to give you the pencil case back before...... I'm sorry for the trouble. ”

Xu Jing lowered her head timidly, crossed her hands in front of her, and her voice was small.

Wu Jiayan's expression was complicated.

The little hand grips the pen tightly, releases it, and clenches it again.

Finally, the head of the class puffed out his mouth and patted Xu Jing on the shoulder.

"I'm not that stingy, forgive you."

"Well, thank you, squad leader!"

Wu Jiayan also nodded, put the pen she gave her in the sturdiest pocket on the school uniform, and prepared to turn around and go back to the dormitory......

Xu Jing suddenly tugged at the corner of her clothes again.

"Squad leader."

Xu Jing retracted her hand and whispered hesitantly: "Squad leader, don't be angry with Jiang Lan, okay?" ”

"Huh?"

"Jiang Lan is actually very good, he is very kind and gentle...... He didn't actually mean anything. Don't be angry with him, okay? ”

“……”

Wu Jiayan hugged her chest and was silent for a while, although she couldn't hold it and her posture was a little awkward.

The disgusting handsome face and the crumbs automatically came to mind...... But she also had to admit that Jiang Lan was really strong.

It's no better than that.

Wu Jiayan sighed and waved at her.

"Okay, okay, I was born...... Since you speak for him, then I won't be born. ”

"Thank you, squad leader!"

Xu Jing nodded vigorously.

At this time, a figure appeared in the direction of the teaching building, although it was far away, she still recognized it at a glance as Jiang Lan.

The strange feeling is slowly creeping into the body, too—the distance lock is about to come again.

"Then, I'll go first, goodbye squad leader......"

"Wait a minute."

Wu Jiayan called out to her, rummaged through her shopping bag, and stuffed a bag of Lay's into her hand.

"I accidentally bought too much, let's eat this for you."

"Huh? Squad Leader......"

"I'm back in my dorm."

Wu Jiayan waved her hand behind her back and trotted back to the women's dormitory.

Xu Jing held the bag of Lay's in both hands, stood quietly in place, and watched the little squad leader go upstairs.

There was a breeze blowing by, and I combed her hair that was a little messy.

"Thank you."

The girl whispered to the breeze.
