Not far away, I don't know what the person next to him said, Xu Linmiao suddenly laughed, the boy in front of him was still waving his arms and saying something, he had already raised his hand and clenched his fist to his lips, as if he was restrained, but his obsidian-like eyes were full of broken stars, clearly full of smiles.

Chen Yuanzhi stood in place and watched, and suddenly felt a little unable to move his legs.

…… This look is so good.

Just when Chen Yuanzhi sighed, the people surrounding Xu Linmiao suddenly dispersed, as if the work had been completed, and everyone began to act separately and perform their duties.

At this time, a girl wearing Song Hanfu suddenly came out of the room opposite the studio, she was slender, her lips were red and her teeth were white, and her eyebrows and eyes were outlined by a makeup pen to be elegant and gentle.

Chen Yuanzhi is in his heart: What a beautiful sister.

The beautiful sister in Hanfu walked in front of Xu Linhao, Xu Linhao didn't seem to know her, and she was stunned for a moment when she raised her head.

The beautiful sister smiled at Xu Linmiao, I don't know what she said, Xu Linmiao nodded after listening to it, turned around and walked over with her.

Chen Yuanzhi: ?!

She quickly retreated into the corner, but the two stopped just around the corner.

"Let's talk about it right here." This is Xu Linmiao's voice, clear and gentle.

The girl's slender and gentle voice came, "Actually, there is nothing particularly important...... I just felt like I couldn't sit back and watch my mind sit idly by. ”

"Xu Linhao, I like you. From the moment I saw you at the opening ceremony that day, I was moved. ”

Chen Yuanzhi "chuckled" in his heart.

…… Isn't it, this kind of thing can happen to her?

Chen Yuanzhi feels that the current situation is not good for her.

Because now, it looks, a lot like she's eavesdropping.

Chen Yuanzhi: "......." to save, when will they leave? ?

The girl was still asking, her voice sounding soft and sincere, "What about you?" What do you think of me? If you don't hate me, should we try dating? ”

Chen Yuanzhi shrank in the corner of the wall, not daring to move.

After a few seconds, she heard Xu Linmiao's voice, with an apologetic and gentle tone, but the words she said made Chen Yuanzhi stunned for a moment.

"I'm sorry, I don't like you."

…… It's so crisp.

Chen Yuanzhi was a little surprised in his heart, such a beautiful girl didn't agree, and she refused so neatly, could it be ......?

Xu Linmiao then said, "And I don't plan to fall in love for the time being." If you can, be sure not to like me anymore. ”

The air froze for a few seconds, and the girl's voice sounded, sounding a little embarrassed, "This, like this...... Sorry for bothering you. ”

Chen Yuanzhi actually heard some smiles from Xu Linmiao's tone at this time, "No, it's okay." ”

Chen Yuanzhi leaned against the corner of the wall, and the footsteps of the two of them gradually moving away were in his ears, until the air around him became quiet and quiet again, and Chen Yuanzhi slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

She turned her head and was about to walk out, when she bumped into Xu Linmiao's gaze.

He stood around the corner, leaning slightly to look this way, the white light from the top of the auditorium piercing through the cracks in his hair, and there was a hint of laughter in his eyes.

Chen Yuanzhi was stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around and said a little helplessly: "I, I, I can explain ......!" ”

Xu Linmao: "Poof." ”

Chen Yuanzhi: "......."

Although Xu Linmiao smiled, Chen Yuanzhi, who should explain, still had to explain: "I ..... I just saw you coming over, and I didn't have time to walk away." I didn't mean to eavesdrop on you. ”

Xu Linmiao straightened up and walked around the corner, "Well, I know. ”

Chen Yuanzhi was stunned, "....... you know?" ”

Xu Linmiao thought for a while, didn't know what to think, and suddenly smiled and said, "Because I feel that you are not that kind of person?" ”

Chen Yuanzhi also said something similar when they met last time, she said at that time, "Because I feel that you are not someone who will take other people's things casually".

Chen Yuanzhi: "......"

This man...... Obviously behaved so humble and gentle towards other people, why is there always something bad in her.

But if he jokes like this, he should really not mind her abruptness.

Chen Yuanzhi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at this moment, Xu Linmiao's mobile phone rang.

Chen Yuanzhi knew that the staff of the student union could bring mobile phones during large-scale activities - in order to facilitate communication and complete the assigned tasks - so she did not show surprise, and stood aside and watched Xu Linmiao pick up the phone.

Xu Linmiao held the mobile phone in one hand, listening to the voice on the other end of the phone, and his expression slowly converged.

Xu Linmiao asked: "Can't contact anyone at all?" ”

The other end didn't know what to answer, Xu Linmiao replied, "Okay, I understand." ”

After Xu Linmiao hung up the phone, he smiled apologetically at Chen Yuanzhi, "I'm sorry, I have a lot of work, I have to go first." ”

Chen Yuanzhi hurriedly said: "I'm going back to the audience on the first floor soon, if you need to call someone, I can help." ”

Xu Linmiao paused, "It's okay." Then please go to the 12th class of the second year of high school to find a girl named Gao Xiaoxuan, and tell her that the party is about to start, and the studio needs her assistance. ”

Chen Yuanzhi paused, "Studio...... May I ask, what's wrong with the studio right now? ”

Xu Linmao, "The studio has just been temporarily handed over to the people from the Cultural and Entertainment Department of the Federation of Social Affairs and the Student Union, and the opening ceremony of the party is about to be held. ”

"It stands to reason that the radio station should have arranged for people to assist here, but in fact it is not, and even now there are no people to find anywhere."

"If no one can be found, the opening ceremony will be delayed for about ten minutes, and all subsequent performances and the final closing time will have to be adjusted."

As soon as Xu Linmiao's words fell, Chen Yuanzhi, who was standing in front of him, suddenly said loudly:

“…… Can I try it? ”

Xu Linmiao was stunned for a moment when he heard this, as if he didn't expect to get such an answer, he looked down at her.

Coincidentally, Chen Yuanzhi also happened to be looking up at him, so the eyes of the two met in an instant, and their eyes met each other.

"I know how to operate those instruments," she said. ”

……

"Wow!!! Thank you, classmate, for your great help!! ”

Seeing the red curtain under the stage rise one after another, the host's microphone and music were also smoothly turned on and played, and several people in the studio immediately cheered.

Chen Yuanzhi smiled, "It's good if I can help." ”

The fat guy sitting in the studio chair seemed to be a senior in the second year of high school, and he was indignant: "The radio station is too ugly this time!" Is it the first time to have a party? I couldn't find anyone when I searched for it! If the opening ceremony is really delayed, I don't think their stationmaster can afford this responsibility! ”

A group of people scolded a few words, and then a boy came to Xu Linmao's shoulder, and said with a smile: "It's still our Linhao, this person said that he would find it!" Who can't say a word about cows! ”

The fat man looked at them curiously, "Linhao, is this your acquaintance, or did you find it casually on the road?" ”

Acquaintance.

Chen Yuanzhi's heart moved slightly.

She and Xu Linmiao are actually not familiar, but they are just a coincidence, and they have a little fate.

How would the man reply?

Chen Yuanzhi didn't look up at Xu Linmiao, she lowered her head to look at the stage outside the glass window, and Xu Linmiao's smiling voice came from her ears:

"It's a friend."

Chen Yuanzhi was slightly stunned.

Friend.

It was an answer that was far beyond her expectations.

Xu Linhao and Chen Yuanzhi walked out of the studio, the party had already opened, and the applause from the other side of the stage echoed in the corridor outside, and there were many fewer people passing by.

They walked to the window on the edge of the stairs together, Xu Linmiao opened his mouth first, he looked at Chen Yuanzhi, and asked with a smile: "I'm really surprised, how can you operate the broadcasting equipment?" ”

Chen Yuanzhi, "When I was in junior high school, I was the head of the school's radio station. ”

Xu Linmiao's eyes widened slightly, a little surprised, "...... I really didn't expect it. ”

Chen Yuanzhi joked: "Because I seem to be more taciturn? ”

Xu Linmao, "Yes and no." You don't look like someone who is going to compete for these things, so it's a bit of a surprise. ”

Chen Yuanzhi smiled, "Do you praise me for being easy-going?" Thank you. ”

The two looked at each other and saw the smile in each other's eyes.

Outside, the bright moon has long been hanging high in the night, and the bright light penetrates the glass curtain wall and sprinkles on the thin and straight back of the young man.

Chen Yuanzhi took the initiative to say goodbye, "...... Well, I'll go first. I've been out for a long time, and my friend is probably worried. ”

Xu Linmiao waved his hand at her, the corners of his lips curled slightly, "Hmm." Thank you for your help this time, Miss Mask. ”

Chen Yuanzhi's footsteps suddenly stopped.

She raised her head and said suspiciously, "Xu Linmiao, you won't forget my name, right?" ”

I don't know if it was because he was suddenly called his name, or because of the sentence itself, Xu Linmiao was stunned for a moment.

He looked helpless, and even a little crying and laughing, but those beautiful Danfeng eyes still looked very warm and translucent under the glow of the moonlight, "How come." ”

Chen Yuanzhi. That's right? ”

Chen Yuanzhi pinched his palm, barely controlling the corners of his mouth from curling.

"Hmm."

…….

When Chen Yuanzhi returned to his seat, the performance had already begun.

Jiang Zhixu quickly noticed her, and came over with some curiosity, "Xiaozhi, where have you been, why have you been there for so long?" ”

Chen Yuanzhi did not change his face, "I met my former junior high school classmates on the way, and I was a little delayed. ”

Jiang weaving "oh oh" twice, "That's it." You missed the opening guest performance, but it's exciting! ”

Chen Yuanzhi smiled, "That's really a pity." ”

The show that is being performed on the stage now is a sketch, and it is nearing the end, Chen Yuanzhi looked at the students who played the officials on the stage and reprimanded the villagers loudly, and suddenly heard Qi Minrui in front of him "sneer".

Qi Minrui's voice was low, but for Chen Yuanzhi, who was sitting behind her, he could still hear it clearly, "What a broken show, it's an official and a poverty alleviation, it's boring to death, it's to cater to the school leaders." ”

Zhang Xianzhang also had a gun and a stick in his words, "Then how can you pass it?" If you don't flatter like them, you can only be like us. ”

Ruan Shanshan scolded, "Damn, just think about it." ”

Chen Yuanzhi glanced at Jiang Zhixu's expression, she didn't say anything, just looked at the stage quietly, as if she didn't hear Zhang Xianzhang and them talking.

Qi Minrui: "Who is the program list?" I want to see what the next show is. ”

Sun Luo suddenly spoke, "Don't look at it, it's the "Lotus Girl". ”

The skit on stage just ended. The students in various funny costumes retreated one after another, followed by the hostess in white dresses.

“…… So next, let's invite the students of Class 16 to bring us a wonderful folk dance, "Lotus Girl"! ”

The lights on the stage slowly dimmed, the LED screen lit up, the clear blue water waves rippled in a lake, and there were a few fresh lotus flowers floating in the pond, which was delicate and lovely.

Five girls wearing Song-made Hanfu and combing graceful classical hairstyles walked out with a group fan and stood on the stage.

Zhang Xianzhang looked at the stage, and suddenly turned his head and asked Qi Minrui: "The one in the middle is Kang Roujia?" ”

Qi Minrui: "Yes, she stands C." ”

Chen Yuanzhi heard the familiar name before he remembered it.

She looked at the girl in the center of the stage, Kang Roujia held the fan and posed in preparation, her skin looked extraordinarily white under the reflection of the stage lights, her ruddy lip gloss dotted a touch of vermilion, and her eyes were shining with anticipation.

Chen Yuan was terrified.

Isn't this the girl who just confessed to Xu Linmiao on the third floor?

Yes? What is it? Amnesia spray? Squirt. Yes? What is it? Amnesia spray? Squirt.

Chen Yuanzhi's head was full of question mark emojis at the moment, and she didn't know whether to be speechless for her face blindness, or to be shocked by eating a big melon.

However, before Chen Yuanzhi could react, the music had already sounded, and the girls on the stage danced, their waists and sleeves swaying.

Chen Yuanzhi forcibly diverted his attention from the mess and turned to the performance on stage.

Qi Minrui's voice sounded again, "Isn't Kang Roujia's hair golden brown?" Why does it look so dark now? ”

Ruan Shanshan, "Disposable dyeing cream." ”

Chen Yuanzhi: "! ”

Sure enough, she said why she didn't recognize the person, in addition to makeup, but also because Kang Roujia left her with a label of golden brown hair from the beginning.

…… In short, Chen Yuanzhi will not admit that he is a little face blind.

After about a minute passed, Chen Yuanzhi sensed the problem.

…… Why is this dance so flat??

This music is really the water flowing out of the faucet, without a trace of change.

At first, it was a little fresh, but after a long time, Chen Yuanzhi began to feel a little bored.

Chen Yuanzhi thought to himself, sure enough, the good and the bad are compared. With this show as a foil, the previous sketch show suddenly became interesting.

Zhang Xianzhang was speechless, she turned her head, her eyes swept over Qi Minrui and Sun Luo, and said in disbelief: "This kind of show can pass the primary selection??? So why can't we get by? ”

Qi Minrui let out a "ha", his face was full of unhappiness, "Maybe teachers and school leaders like this kind of show that doesn't have any technical content and highlights, right?" Don't you think this hypnotic tune looks like a square dance? It is very suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. ”

Chen Yuanzhi glanced at it, Sun Luo just leaned down and approached Qi Minrui, I don't know what to say, Qi Minrui raised his head in reaction very much, his face was full of disdain, "Huh? Kang Roujia actually did such a thing? ”

Zhang Xianzhang also came over, "What, what's wrong?" ”

Qi Minrui approached and told her, Zhang Xianzhang listened, showed a "sure enough" expression, and sneered: "I just said that she doesn't look like a safe person, right?" Sun Luo praised her for her good looks at the time, I thought she looked average at the time, and now it seems that she is very bad in other aspects. ”

On the other side, Ruan Shanshan had just finished listening to what Sun Luo had said in the past, and couldn't help but exclaim, "I'm grass."

Chen Yuan didn't know what they said, but he also guessed that it was probably a negative rumor about Kang Roujia.

Ruan Shanshan was still unable to come back to her senses after learning the aftershocks of the bombshell news, "She is actually this kind of person?" I can't really see it. ”

She turned her head to look at Sun Luo, "Hey Sun Luo, can I talk to my friends about this with art students?" ”

Sun Luo said indifferently: "Say, anyway, many people know about this." ”

After talking to his friends around him for a round, Sun Luo raised his head and said conclusively: "No matter what, Kang Roujia, she is a slut." ”

Qi Minrui looked at the stage and became more and more disgusted, "I can't do it anymore, and then I see her dancing after knowing this, it's completely unsightly?" Yes. ”

Zhang Xianzhang giggled, "Who isn't!" ”

The voices of these people are actually deliberately controlled, but one is that Chen Yuanzhi's hearing is better than ordinary people, and the other is that some words that are inaudible can also be spliced together into approximate sentences according to the words heard scattered.

After hearing this, Chen Yuanzhi's eyelashes drooped, covering his dark eyes like black crystal.

At the end of the dance on stage, there was a not-so-enthusiastic applause in the auditorium, and it was clear that the students did not like to watch this kind of show.

All kinds of wonderful programs and performances took turns, and an evening belonging to a grand day was resounded after the awards of the party.

…….

After Chen Yuanzhi returned home, as soon as he put down his schoolbag, Jiang Zhixu's voice message came from WeChat.

As she packed up her books, she put her phone on the table and clicked on the voice.

Jiang Zhixu's gentle and delicate voice mixed with the sound of the wind came from the microphone:

"Xiaozhi, are you home?"

"Actually, I have a lot of things I want to talk to you tonight, but Sun Luo has been talking to me, and we don't have much chance to chat."

When Chen Yuanzhi heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, and just wanted to tell Jiang Zhixu that she didn't care about this, Jiang Zhixu's voice over there continued:

"In fact, the more I get along with Sun Luo, the more I feel that I am not suitable for her. For example, she often talks to me in class or evening self-study, and it is difficult for me to refuse her, but if I respond to her words, it will distract me, and sometimes it really affects my learning efficiency. ”

"And I think she's sometimes too extreme, and I can't even figure out what the logic of her thinking is. She often spoke ill of other people to me, but I didn't really like that. ”

Chen Yuanzhi put the last piece of stationery on the table, she picked up her mobile phone in one hand, and said into the microphone:

"What they said about Kang Roujia tonight, did Sun Luo tell you a long time ago?"

Jiang Zhixu quickly replied: "Yes." She said it to me tonight, before I went downstairs with you. ”

"She is very familiar with Ji Bingyi in the next class, and that Ji Bingyi and Kang Roujia used to be in the same class in junior high school."

"Sun Luo said that Ji Bingyi told her a lot of Kang Roujia's melons, such as playing ambiguously with two boys at the same time in the class when she was in junior high school, never doing class hygiene, and letting the men help her, the princess was sick or something."

"She said that when Kang Roujia was in junior high school, she and her boyfriend often kissed in the class after class, completely ignoring the eyes of other classmates in the class, and sat on her boyfriend's lap, and she said that Ji Bingyi also told her that she knew Kang Roujia's ex-boyfriend when she was in junior high school, and her ex-boyfriend said that Kang Roujia took the initiative to let him touch her chest in private, and said that he was not the only one who did this......"

Jiang Zhixu sent a new voice message after a few seconds, "Anyway, it's amazing, and then Sun Luo said that the boys in Kang Roujia's current class know these things, so the men in class 16 don't like her very much." ”

Chen Yuanzhi: "......" was shocked.

Chen Yuanzhi remembered some fragments, and she asked with some doubts: "But didn't Sun Luo say that she and Kang Roujia were in the same junior high school, and Kang Roujia was still very popular at that time?" ”

Jiang Zhixu's voice came, "That's what I said, I think she sometimes speaks strangely. ”

"She often contradicts herself, but I can't tell if she's lying, because she insists she's telling the truth a lot of the time."

Chen Yuanzhi thought to himself, whether it was the truth or not, only Sun Luo himself and the Ji Bingyi in her mouth knew.

Chen Yuanzhi, "I don't know much about these gossips. So Kang Roujia, are many people already knowing? ”

Jiang Zhifu, "I feel like I'm getting faster." As soon as Shanshan and the art students talked about it, it was estimated that it would spread faster, after all, the art class was full of art students from all classes.

Chen Yuanzhi, "Forget it, don't talk about it, tell me about you." ”

"Little flocculent. If you don't want to sit with her, then you can mention it to the head teacher before you change places next time, and he won't make you together again. ”

Jiang Zhixu said worriedly, "Are you sure?" I'm afraid he'll talk to Sun Luo....."

Chen Yuanzhi smiled slightly, "I'm sure." Go ahead. ”

Chen Yuanzhi likes to observe people, and in her eyes, everyone she comes into contact with is her precious research sample.

And in this class, what she studied the most was not her good friend Jiang Zhixu, nor Sun Luo, who had the most distinctive and eye-catching personality, but the head teacher Wu Mingxu.

In Chen Yuanzhi's view, Wu Mingxu, as a class teacher, is actually very understanding.

He doesn't dress well, it's more like a traditional science and engineering man's aesthetic;

He is silent and quiet, sometimes he will tell some bad jokes in class, and if no one in the class gets it, he will cough twice to hide his embarrassment;

He often mentions in the class his hardships and simplicity from a rural background and his hard work during his senior year of high school, admonishes everyone to put away their play and concentrate on studying, and tells everyone that he does not recommend that students join clubs at all, and it is best to devote all their time to studying from now on.

Chen Yuanzhi said to Jiang Zhixu: "Wu Mingxu attaches great importance to learning, if your reason is that Sun Luo has affected your learning efficiency, he will definitely not ignore it." ”

And it's just a good reason. Almost the whole class knew that Sun Luo talked a lot and did not abide by classroom discipline, and Wu Mingxu had talked to her before.

"At the end of the month, after the exam, there should be a big change of seats."

Chen Yuanzhi's class adopts the method of making up seats with a small change every month and a big change every two months. The small change is to only change the group, not to change the front and back table; The big change is to completely disrupt, except for the same table may not change, the front and back tables will change.

Jiang Zhixu seemed to be relieved, "Okay." Then I'll go to him tomorrow. ”

"By the way, am I bothering you to review?" Jiang Zhixu said apologetically, "I'm sorry...... I'm usual, hey, I just tend to overthink it. ”

Chen Yuanzhi lowered his voice and said gently, "I know, I'm not reviewing, and you don't have to apologize." ”

Chen Yuanzhi knew in his heart that Jiang Zhixu had a gentle and kind personality, which made her look non-aggressive, and it was easy to make people feel good and close.

But correspondingly, she also lacks the means to deal with malice.

Jiang Weaving is like a Rapunzel princess in an ivory tower, and it is normal for such people not to know how to fight back against malice, because they are too well protected.

Because of gentleness and kindness, and sometimes overthinking, it is easy to become indecisive.

Despite this, Chen Yuanzhi felt harmless.

With her by her side, she will help her.

Because Jiang Zhixu is not good at things, Chen Yuanzhi happens to be good at them.

Jiang Zhixu said with a smile, "Then Xiao Zhi plans to review later?" ”

Chen Yuanzhi, "Well, I'll read a book for a while." ”

Jiang Zhixu, "Okay, then I won't bother you, I hope we can all overcome obstacles and win in a week!" ”

Chen Yuanzhi couldn't help but smile.

"Hmm. I wish you and me. ”

……

Seven days passed in a flash, and Chen Yuanzhi finally ushered in her first big exam since high school.

Before the exam, Chen Yuanzhi sat in the classroom and memorized until the last minute before going to the exam room.

The first day of high school examination is divided into four days, the first day is the afternoon of the Chinese test, the second day of mathematics and English, the third day of the morning of history, the afternoon of physics, the fourth day of chemistry and biology, and the afternoon of political geography.

The long four days were spent in the dull rustle of fingertips, and at half past six in the afternoon of the fourth day, the bell for the end of the examination of the last subject rang, and the candidates in the whole building could not help but breathe a sigh of relief the moment they walked out of the classroom.

Noisy voices immediately sounded, and the torrent washed over the entire high school building, like a long-suppressed liberation.

Chen Yuanzhi walked out of the examination room with the flow of people and returned to the classroom all the way.

Someone outside the classroom is already moving their own bookcases, and the people in the classroom are all piled up in twos and threes, holding test papers in their hands and answering them:

"-I don't rely on it, this question chooses A???"

"What did you choose—hey, I chose B, too!"

"Did you make a mistake? We all chose B, hey! ”

"My answer is the right one with Wen Wenxin!"

"Huh? That's the end of it———"

The wails and cheers were endless, Chen Yuanzhi put down his schoolbag, and was about to go to the supermarket to buy buckets of instant noodles to solve dinner, when a figure appeared next to him:

"Fate knows!"

Chen Yuanzhi looked up and saw that it was his tablemate Li Yulian.

Li Yulian took her arm and asked nervously, "Do you think this exam is difficult?" ”

Chen Yuanzhi, "Hmm...... For me, it's hard to do science. ”

Li Yulian said excitedly, "I'll tell you! I originally chose A for the English question, but I crossed it out and chose B! They are correct, and the answer is A! I'm really angry, woooooooo ”

Chen Yuanzhi, "It's okay, maybe they're wrong." ”

Li Yulian heard that Chen Yuanzhi wanted to eat instant noodles, so she pestered and said that she wanted to go together.

Li Yulian took Chen Yuanzhi's arm and suddenly said, "Will the results be out in two days?" ”

Chen Yuanzhi, "It should be, this time it is our school that has made the questions independently, and there is no joint examination with other schools, so it should be ranked soon." ”

Li Yu whimpered, "I'm so nervous!" I hope to do well in my first exam!! ”
