Chapter 106 Blackboard News

  Looking at the small bag that the police took out, which contained a golden chain and a ruby at the bottom of the bag, Tang Xiaoyu immediately stood up excitedly, "It's mine, the necklace I lost, thank you, police uncle!"

  The young policeman Zhou Xiaowei who handed over the bag froze in expression for a moment, then coughed, "Don't be so polite, I should be only one or two years older than you."

  Tang Xiaoyu was so happy that she didn't notice Zhou Xiaowei's expression at all. Instead, Fang Qing on the side thought the young policeman looked a little strange, "Comrade policeman, is there any problem?"

  Zhou Xiaowei smiled, and thinking of the thief's method of committing the crime this time, he felt that he still had to remind him, "Recently, many girls have had their jewelry snatched away while walking on the street. These people deliberately bump into you and cut off your necklace or backpack when you are not paying attention. So you must be careful when you go out. If you encounter suspicious people, you must protect yourself."

  Tang Xiaoyu saw that the policeman opposite blushed when he saw her, and she laughed at how thin-skinned this man was. She put the necklace away, signed, and got up to leave.

  But when Zhou Xiaowei saw that Tang Xiaoyu didn't recognize him at all, he panicked and hurriedly chased after her.

  "Wait a minute, you... don't remember me?"

  Tang Xiaoyu thought she was hitting on him again, and her initial good impression of him instantly vanished. She turned cold and shook her head, "I'm sorry, officer, I don't know you."

  Zhou Xiaowei opened his mouth, looked at Tang Xiaoyu's indifferent face, and the words on his lips died. He stared blankly at Tang Xiaoyu and the others disappearing at the end of the road.

  A colleague behind him came over and patted his shoulder, "Don't look anymore, they're gone! That little girl is the childhood sweetheart you were talking about, right? Why didn't you say it just now?"

  Zhou Xiaowei shook his head, "It's not the right time yet, and I can't get away to think about these things right now." Then, he turned and went back into the house. The colleague behind him shrugged, "Young people nowadays, they don't understand."

  This episode had no effect on Tang Xiaoyu. She took the bus back to the provincial capital smoothly. However, before getting on the bus, she leaned over to Fang Qing and whispered something.

  The train slowly retreated, and Wen Ning finally took Fang Qing's hand and slowly walked back.

  "What did that girl say to you just now?"

  Fang Qing smiled, shielding her eyes from the autumn sun. "I won't tell you, it's a secret."

  Wen Ning shook his head, tucking their clasped hands into his coat pocket. "It's a mystery, let's just not talk about it. By the way, we have a competition next week, and I might be away from school for a few weeks. You must stay warm and don't get sick again and worry me."

  Fang Qing paused. "When are you leaving? Do you want me to see you off?"

  Wen Ning tightened her scarf around her. "I don't know exactly, but there's no need to send you off. It's not like you won't be coming back."

  Fang Qing nodded, and as they walked, she began to plan what to bring Wen Ning. "Then we'll go to the nearby department store and buy you some groceries. Oh, and there's that green bean cake shop next to the school. They're delicious and last a long time. Take a bag for the trip..."

  After Wen Ning left, Fang Qing's life gradually settled into normalcy. Besides running between the various teaching buildings, she would spend her free time in the activity room practicing painting.

  Ever since being kicked out by that strange classmate last time, Fang Qing never came to see him again.

  When the club president Zhou Dawei heard about what happened that day, he felt a little embarrassed thinking about the temper of the new student, "It's not all your fault. Zhang Han's personality is indeed a little unsociable, but he usually comes on Tuesdays and Fridays. He has classes at other times. If you don't want to meet, just avoid them..."

  After accepting the president's advice, Fang Qing deliberately avoided those two days and came to paint for a while after class. In a few days, she became familiar with the other people in the club.

  Liu Dongxu and Lu Can are two girls with completely different painting styles, but observing the way each of them paints can give her different inspirations.

  One day, Fang Qing was painting the cover of a diary when Lu Can pulled a chair over and sat down.

  "Fang Qing, have you had a lot of classes lately?"

  Fang Qing continued to paint. "This week is fine. We don't have classes on Wednesday and Thursday afternoons. What's wrong?"

  "Well, the school anniversary is coming up, and the Organization Department has asked each club to come up with some ideas and do some publicity for the anniversary, mainly to promote the spirit of our school... Our painting club has been asked to do some work."

  Fang Qing stopped painting and looked at Lu Can beside her in confusion. "There are only five of us in our club. What kind of work can we do?"

  Seeing an opportunity, Lu Can pulled his chair closer. "I talked to the president. Our school has a lot of promotional blackboards, right? I'm thinking that we each design a blackboard newspaper with a theme that echoes the school motto."

  Fang Qing nodded in understanding. "So which part will I be responsible for? When is the deadline? Are there any special requirements?"

  Lu Can breathed a sigh of relief at Fang Qing's earnestness. She had always thought that Fang Qing, so beautiful, would be difficult to talk to, but she didn't expect her to agree so readily. She quickly told Fang Qing where the blackboard was.

  In the days that followed, Fang Qing would go to the blackboard wall after class with her colored chalk and start designing.

  There was a strong wind all night yesterday, and the sycamore trees on campus blew away all their leaves, standing alone beside the path.

  Fang Qing was standing on a chair, painting the blackboard with colors bit by bit.

  He had been painting for five or six days in a row, and this big blackboard was finally finished. The early winter wind made people's hands and feet cold, and even the nose was frozen red.

  Fang Qing hid his feet and switched hands back and forth to apply colors. A sound of footsteps came over, stepping on the fallen leaves on the ground. Before Fang Qing turned around, he heard a laugh.

  "Hey, isn't this schoolmate Fang? It's so cold today, why are you here instead of staying in the dormitory to warm up?"

  "Oh, are you drawing a blackboard newspaper? Miss Fang actually has this skill, not bad, if she can't make it one day, she can sell paintings on the street to support herself... Hahaha..."

  A group of people surrounded Fang Qing and laughed. Fang Qing knew who they were without turning around. "Yeah, after all, we are in the student union. In order to welcome the school anniversary, everyone has to do what they can. But you, senior sister Li Xin, can finally relax now."

  Liu Sisi didn't know how the incident of Li Xin stopping Wen Ning on the bridge got to her ears. Liu Sisi felt that Li Xin had betrayed her and mobilized her connections to kick her out of the student union.

  Li Xin, who had left the student union, no longer had the glory she once had. Now she could only bully others with a few friends to find a sense of existence.

  Fang Qing's words were undoubtedly salt in the wound of Li Xin. She raised her foot to kick the chair under Fang Qing's feet, "Say it again?"

  Seeing this, the people next to her hurriedly grabbed them and dragged Li Xin away. One person looked down on Li Xin, seeing her red eyes and the look of wanting to fight to the death.

  "Where's your former cleverness? There are so many students here. If you hit someone, what will happen to her when her boyfriend comes back?"

  Li Xin was dissatisfied. "Then what do you say we should do?"

  "We do it secretly!"
