Chapter 1: The Silent Boy
The scorching sun is scorching and the heat is unbearable, and a group of young boys and girls full of youth are walking into the door of the experimental middle school with a beautiful vision for their future life.
It is another year of enrollment season, and Haizhou Experimental High School ushered in the enrollment of new students of the class of 2015.
In a classroom in the first year of high school, the 50 students in the class have basically arrived, and the boys and girls who have just entered the school are chattering non-stop at this time.
"Students, be quiet." As the homeroom teacher, Mr. Li, walked into the classroom, the classroom instantly fell silent. Teacher Li helped his glasses, turned around and wrote his name on the blackboard.
"Hello everyone, my name is Li Zhengping, I am your homeroom teacher, and I also teach you physics."
"Okay, next, I'll take a roll call, and the students who have been named will introduce themselves."
"Zhou Xuanyi." After calling several times, no one answered, and Mr. Li stopped pestering and skipped Zhou Xuanyi's name.
"Fang Fei"
"To. Hello everyone, I am Fang Fei, No. 1 Middle School, with a high school entrance examination score of 689. In the next three years of high school, I hope to help each other and make progress together. ”
"Tang Jing"
"To. Ladies and gentlemen, I am Tang Jing, a junior high school student in the experimental middle school, with a score of 685 in the high school entrance examination. I usually like to read books, so if you find a good book, you can talk to each other. ”
Teacher Li named the names of the students one by one, and each student who was called by name gave a brief introduction to himself.
"Gu Fei"
"To. Ladies and gentlemen, I am Gu Fei, the eighth middle school, with a score of 647 in the high school entrance examination. I like to write novels and read comics. ”
"Okay, are there any classmates who haven't been named?" Mr. Li closed the roll call.
"Report." At this time, there was a slightly thin teenager standing at the door, wearing a pair of glasses and carrying a shoulder bag.
"What's your name?" Teacher Li asked.
"My name is Zhou Xuanyi."
"Come in, it'll be early next time." Teacher Li nodded and motioned for the boy to come in.
The boy looked around, and there was only one desk left by the back door, so he walked straight to the desk and sat down.
"He is Zhou Xuanyi? He is the top student in this year's high school entrance examination. Someone below was cautiously talking.
"It looks like a bit of a drag, but I like it."
The students in the audience talked a lot.
"He used to be in our school, and I went to the Olympiad class with him, and he was very kind to the classmates in the class, no matter how busy he was, he always answered questions." Tang Jing eagerly defended Zhou Xuanyi, as if her classmates were talking about her, not Zhou Xuanyi.
"Zhou Xuanyi, let's introduce myself." Teacher Li knocked on the podium and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
"My name is Zhou Xuanyi." Zhou Xuanyi just said his name, and then sat down directly without saying a word.
"Xiaojing, you still say that others are good. Could it be that I saw a fake Zhou Xuanyi? Gu Fei turned sideways and muttered to Tang Jing in a low voice.
Gu Fei and Tang Jing are good girlfriends who have played since childhood, and both families live in the Chengnan community. When he was in the middle of his junior high school, Gu Fei was separated from Tang Jing because of the territory of his household registration. Later, Tang Jing went to the junior high school of the experimental middle school, and Gu Fei was assigned to the eighth middle school. Although the two did not study together in junior high school, this did not affect the relationship between the two in the slightest.
"Stop talking, everyone, be quiet." Teacher Li patted the podium,
"Zhou Xuanyi is the champion of our Haizhou City high school entrance examination this year, maybe there may be some other reasons, Zhou Xuanyi has not been able to share some of his study and life experience with you, everyone should understand more. I also hope that in the future study and life, everyone can study hard and help each other. ”
"Today is the first day of school, so let's first elect the temporary class leaders. Through the self-introduction of all the students just now, I believe that everyone should have a preliminary understanding of each other. Of course, there are some students who have known each other for a long time. Therefore, students are welcome to actively participate and actively recommend. ”
After a fierce competition, the temporary class cadres were released. Squad leader Tang Jing, deputy squad leader Zhang Ze, Youth League branch secretary Xia Lin, study committee member Fang Fei, literature and art committee member Gu Fei, and labor committee member Li Yiming.
After the election of class leaders, Mr. Li began to arrange seats for the new semester. Zhou Xuanyi, who had not spoken, stood up and said.
"Teacher Li, can I just sit here?" As we all know, the row of seats at the back door is usually the students with the worst grades, and Zhou Xuanyi, as the champion of the city's high school entrance examination, actually offered to sit at the end. The students were very curious, and Mr. Li also had some questions in his heart.
"That's okay, Zhou Xuanyi didn't move. The others lined up in the hallway in order of tallness, and those whose names were pronounced sat back in rows. ”
Soon the seats were arranged.
"Tang Jing, you take a few people to the Academic Affairs Office to get the textbooks for the new semester of our class, and clean them up after distributing the textbooks." After Mr. Li finished explaining, he left the classroom.
Tang Jing called out to a few classmates, and then looked at Zhou Xuanyi, who was sitting at the end, was immersed in reading at this time, a very thick book. Tang Jing looked at it and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything.
After returning from class, Tang Jing asked people to distribute new books to their classmates in groups, and she chose Zhou Xuanyi's group. When it was sent to Zhou Xuanyi, Zhou Xuanyi didn't even raise his head, just looked at his book with his head bored. Tang Jing glanced at it secretly, and it was densely packed with all kinds of numbers and formulas. I'm also a scholar anyway, and at first glance, I can't understand what is written at all.
Tang Jing has the impression that Zhou Xuanyi is a sunny and helpful big boy, but he has never met again after the high school entrance examination.
Did something happen during the summer holidays? Tang Jing looked at Zhou Xuanyi, who was immersed in reading, and was a little stunned.
"Squad leader, squad leader. Textbooks have been distributed. Li Yiming shouted Tang Jing loudly.
Tang Jing reacted after a while, "Oh, okay, then you organize everyone to clean up." ”
"Gu Fei, Zhou Xuanyi, the two of you and I will go to clean the bag area." Zhou Xuanyi still didn't say a word, just got up, took a broom, and followed Tang Jing out of the classroom.
"Xiaojing, Zhou Xuanyi won't be stupid for learning, right? Like a wooden man. Gu Fei whispered to Tang Jing while sweeping the floor.
"He's not, he's a legend in the middle school of the experimental middle school. The first place in three years, the first prize at the provincial level in the general competition. Do you think such a person can be a fool? ”
"I didn't see it anyway." Gu Fei muttered in his mouth.
After completing the cleaning task, Zhou Xuanyi returned directly to the classroom. And Tang Jing looked at Zhou Xuanyi, who had already left, and the doubts in her heart became more and more intense.
Because it was the first day of reporting, after the cleaning was over, Mr. Li asked everyone to leave school early.
Zhou Xuanyi closed the book, cleaned up briefly, picked up his bag and left straight through the back door.
Tang Jing saw Zhou Xuanyi leave the classroom, and quickly picked up the bag and chased it out. She wanted to ask Zhou Xuanyi what happened during the summer vacation. By the time she chased to the door, Zhou Xuanyi had already gone downstairs from the corner. When he chased downstairs again, he couldn't see Zhou Xuanyi anymore.
"Xiaojing, you wait for me." At this time, Gu Fei caught up out of breath.
"It's good luck, I can be in the same class with you again." Gu Fei took Tang Jing's hand and shook it while talking. "Why did you just run so fast?"
"It's okay, let's go."
Gu Fei was still the same as before, chattering non-stop along the way.
"You're in high school, and you're still gossiping. I think you might as well go straight to gossip reporters in the future. ”
"Xiao Jingjing, how can you say that about me."
Tang Jing and Gu Fei frolicked all the way home.
"My dad is back." Tang Jing opened the door and saw her father, who she hadn't seen for a long time, pounce excitedly.
"Dad, I miss you so much."
"My precious daughter, look what Daddy has brought you back."
Tang Jing's father's name is Tang Jili, a geological engineer, and he can only go home once every two months.
Tang Jili took out a delicate small box from his pocket and handed it to Tang Jing.
"Open it up and take a look."
"Wow, it's beautiful, thank you Dad." Inside the box lay several small colored stones.
"You're back with that broken stone and you're fooling my precious daughter." Tang Jing's mother came out of the kitchen. "Stop fiddling with the broken stones, wash your hands and eat."
"No, I like the gift my father brought me" Tang Jing raised her head, like a proud peacock.
"My baby daughter reported for the first day today, how does it feel."
"Hmm~ It's okay. The grades of the students in the class are very good. By the way, Gu Fei was also assigned to our class. ”
"Old Tang, come and serve the food." Tang Jing's mother poked her head out of the kitchen and shouted
"Here we are, my wife."
Tang Jing's mother's name is Chen Ping, she works in a TV station, she is beautiful and kind-hearted, and Tang Jili has been married for so many years, and their lives are still the same as when they were newly married. It's just that Tang Jili is rarely at home, so every time he comes back, he has to be educated by Chen Ping. But then again, Chen Ping also feels very sorry for her husband, and every time she comes back, she makes a delicious gift to comfort Tang Ji. Tang Jing has long been accustomed to her father's flattery in front of her mother. The small family of three people, although plain, is full of happiness.
After dinner, after resting for a while, Tang Jing went back to her room to study. It wasn't until ten o'clock that Tang Jing got up to wash up and get ready for bed.
Tang Jing, who was lying on the bed, looked at the starry sky pattern on the ceiling of the room, and soon fell asleep.
