"Lu Jiuqiu, does what you said before still count?" Jiang Han asked, pointing at the scab on his cheekbone that had not yet fallen off.
Jiuqiu was almost annoyed to death by Jiang Han. She regretted it very much!
It was agreed that Jiuqiu would have to obey Jiang Han in everything within three months, but now, after only one month, Jiuqiu couldn't stand it anymore. During class, Jiang Han forced Jiuqiu to listen to the class; after class, Jiang Han forced Jiuqiu to do his homework; Jiang Han also forced Jiuqiu to sign up for entertainment activities and sports.
Why? When had she, Lu Jiuqiu, ever been controlled like this before?
“Jiang Han!” Finally, Lu Jiuqiu couldn’t bear it anymore. He stood up in the classroom, pointed at him and cursed, “Stop talking nonsense! I quit!”
The teacher and the whole class looked at Jiuqiu in confusion.
Jiang Han raised his head slowly and calmly, and said, "Teacher, Lu disrupted the class discipline and disturbed my thinking. Should he be punished by standing outside?"
Before the teacher could answer, Jiuqiu's figure flashed to the classroom door.
"Don't bother! I can walk by myself!"
Jiuqiu stood outside the classroom angrily, leaning against the wall, his chest heaving with anger.
She had never seen such a person before. Even her father would not control her like he did, and put pressure on her to the point of suffocation. This Jiang Han, who looked so honest and dull on the outside, turned out to be so hypocritical!
He must be taking revenge on her, he must be!
Jiuqiu didn't stand there for long before the teacher asked her to go back to her seat and listen to the class carefully.
After returning to his seat, Jiuqiu moved his desk outwards as if he was angry with someone, leaving a wide gap between his desk and Jiang Han's. Then, Jiuqiu tore off a page of homework and wrote on it: "I regret it! After class, slap me in the face and we'll be even."
Then, she crumpled up the homework paper into a ball and threw it on Jiang Han's desk.
Jiang Han silently unwrapped the paper ball, read the contents, wrote a few words on it, then carefully folded the paper and placed it on Jiuqiu's desk.
Jiuqiu opened the paper and saw two neat regular script characters written on it - REJECT.
Jiuqiu frowned, tore the homework paper into pieces angrily, and then covered her ears and sulked alone. However, in Jiang Han's eyes, all of Jiuqiu's violent behavior was like an insignificant mountain mist, passing by lightly.
Jiuqiu no longer avoided contact with Tang Cheng, because now Jiang Han was among the topics she talked about. Jiang Han had a different image in her mouth every day, either a pervert or trash, in short, there was no good one.
Liang Xia and Tang Cheng often looked at each other helplessly, feeling that Jiu Qiu was going crazy.
"Do you think he is taking revenge on me?" Jiuqiu asked Tang Cheng and Liang Xia seriously.
"I... I don't know him." Liang Xia looked at Tang Cheng guiltily, but Tang Cheng did not answer Jiuqiu's words.
Jiu Qiu put his hands on his hips angrily and said, "He must be taking revenge on me! This villain!"
"But Jiuqiu, it was obviously you who hurt him first, and you took the initiative to say that in order to apologize, you should do whatever he says in the future. Besides, the things that Jiang Han forced you to do didn't seem to do you any harm..." Liang Xia said in a low voice, but she was afraid of being scolded by Jiuqiu, so she quickly took a sip of the milk tea in her hand.
Jiu Qiu frowned and shouted: "But he restricted my freedom!"
Liang Xia pouted, not knowing what to say. Tang Cheng, on the other hand, seemed to sense that Jiu Qiu was getting angrier and angrier, so he turned his head and whispered to Liang Xia, "Let's go first."
"Escape is the most important thing." Liang Xia nodded quickly.
"Hey! Hey—where are you two doing?" Jiuqiu roared.
"Go do your homework." They both answered in unison.
"Study hard and use your brain to do your homework! You will become a nerd sooner or later!" Jiuqiu cursed angrily.
"Student Lu." As soon as she finished speaking, a cold male voice sounded behind her. Jiuqiu felt a chill on her back, and all the hairs on her body stood up.
She had hidden herself very well! This corner of the grass was the most secluded place in the school, so how did the "devil" still find her?
"You made fourteen mistakes in the English words you took in dictation this morning." Jiang Han said with a hint of sarcasm, "That's great. We only took in twenty words."
Jiuqiu turned back angrily and watched Jiang Han hand her the English homework book with an expressionless face.
Jiuqiu suppressed his anger, reached out to take the English homework book, and forced a smile: "Thank you for the compliment."
After saying that, she flicked her sleeves and left.
Jiang Han looked at Jiuqiu's departing back, the indifference on his face gradually melted away, replaced by a smile as warm as the spring breeze.
With the addition of Jiang Han, who gave her a headache, Jiuqiu's world had little time to think about the relationship between her and Tang Cheng.
On the surface, she and Tang Cheng are just ordinary friends, but in fact their relationship is complicated.
On weekends, the bus station was packed with people. Jiuqiu was in front and Tangcheng was behind, waiting in line for security check.
Liang Xia returned to Yuncheng early because of family matters. I thought that even if Liang Xia was not there, at least Guan Linxiu was there, but Guan Linxiu could not go home this weekend because of extracurricular practice.
"Be careful." Tang Cheng suddenly reached out and grabbed Jiuqiu's arm. The travel bag carried by the person who cut in line rubbed against the back of Tang Cheng's hand, leaving a white scratch.
Jiu Qiu looked down, then glared at the person who cut in line: "Hey! Just line up properly to go through security check, why are you squeezing?"
The person who cut in line looked back at Jiuqiu, ignored her, and continued to rush in.
"What kind of quality!" Jiu Qiu spat, turned around and asked Tang Cheng, "Did you get it?"
Tang Cheng shook his head. The place where his hand was rubbed had turned red.
Finally, they passed the security check and successfully boarded the bus. Jiuqiu and Tang Cheng sat in the window seats one after the other. They didn't say a word during the two-hour journey.
When getting off the bus, Tang Cheng helped Jiuqiu carry her backpack, and when he handed it to her, he casually said, "I'll take you home."
Jiu Qiu refused and said, "No, I'll go by myself."
Tang Cheng called her and asked in confusion: "Why do I always feel like you are avoiding me? Jiuqiu."
"Really?" Jiu Qiu smiled deliberately, seeming to be very surprised by Tang Cheng's words, "Why do you think so?"
"You always reject me. You weren't like this before." Tang Cheng frowned slightly.
Jiuqiu pretended to be confused: "Tang Cheng, if you say that, people will misunderstand you."
Tang Cheng licked his lips, avoided his gaze, and said, "I'm just confused. You know, you and Liang Xia are both very important friends to me. Liang Xia and I have always been very good friends, but you suddenly avoided me. I always thought I did something wrong."
"You didn't do anything wrong, Tang Cheng." Jiu Qiu put on his schoolbag and smiled slightly, "Do you know that you can't get too close to the opposite sex that your good friend likes? I also treat you as a friend. I didn't avoid you deliberately. I just wanted to create more opportunities for Liang Xia and you. Tang Cheng, Liang Xia has always liked you. You are a smart person and you must know it."
Tang Cheng sighed, his tone a little depressed: "I know..."
"So don't let your imagination run wild." Jiu Qiu patted Tang Cheng's shoulder and said, "Go back early, and we'll go back to school together on Sunday."
After saying that, she turned around and prepared to leave. As soon as she turned around, there was a bit of complexity in her eyes.
Tang Cheng looked at Jiuqiu's back as he left, then turned around and walked towards home.
Was he overthinking it? Was she not deliberately avoiding him?
The relationship between boys and girls at that age seems very simple to adults, but to them, it is very complicated, like a tangled ball of wool that cannot be sorted out.
It's another autumn, and half-red maple leaves are falling on the windowsill.
Liang Xia bit the pen and recited "She walked away shyly, leaned against the door and looked back, only to smell the green plums", but suddenly she thought of Tang Cheng.
Just like when she saw a beautiful house, she thought about living in it with Jiuqiu in the future, she was always filled with imagination because of beautiful feelings and pictures.
I wonder what Tang Cheng and Jiuqiu are doing at this time?
As Liang Xia thought about it, she couldn't help but laugh, and the curve of her mouth carried the unique happiness of a girl.
"Buzz--" The cell phone suddenly vibrated. Liang Xia took it and saw that someone on the QQ chat software had applied to add her as a friend.
Liang Xia had just applied for QQ not long ago, and her friend list only included Jiuqiu, Tang Cheng and Guan Linxiu. Now she didn’t know who wanted to add her as a friend.
The person’s nickname is “Flying Angel”, his gender is male, and the verification message is: Hello.
Liang Xia thought about it and approved the other party's application.
People who have just used QQ have a common problem, which is that they will not refuse anyone who adds them as a friend.
Soon, the other party sent a message: "Hello, beautiful lady."
Liang Xia was lying on the bed with her phone in her hand and responded to him: "Who are you?"
The other party replied: "We are from the same school."
Liang Xia asked again: "What's your name?"
The other person said, "Just tell me to fly."
Liang Xia curled her lips, feeling a little bored.
The other person seemed to know her, but it didn’t matter. She already had her best friend and her favorite boy, Liang Xia, so other people were of no importance to her.
In the following days, although Liang Xia ignored the other party, the other party was always happy to send greetings every day.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"what are you doing?"
"Are you going to bed?"
"When are you going back to school?"
Liang Xia finally couldn't help it: "Who are you? If you don't tell me, I will delete you."
The other party sent a message: "No, I just want to make friends with you, but I'm afraid I'm not good enough to be your friend. So, in order to protect my pitiful self-esteem, can you please not ask who I am? Don't worry, if you are busy, I will definitely not disturb you."
Liang Xia is a soft-hearted person. After hearing what the other party said, she did not ask any more questions.
Although the identity of the "Flying Angel" is unknown, Liang Xia feels that he is a nice person through chatting with him. Liang Xia thinks that it would be good to have such a friend.
Liang Xia did not tell anyone about this person's existence because he was not that important.
On the day when the agreed three-month deadline ended, Jiuqiu ran to the classroom whistling, and Jiang Han had indeed arrived early.
Jiuqiu knocked on Jiang Han's desk, ran to the podium excitedly, pointed at the date written on the blackboard with a pointer, and tapped the blackboard hard to signal Jiang Han. Jiang Han looked up indifferently, then lowered his head to look through the textbook.
Jiuqiu, who was ignored, immediately turned cold.
Liang Xia, who was standing at the door, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh. Jiu Qiu woke Liang Xia up early this morning and asked her to follow her to watch the show.
"Student Jiang Han." Jiu Qiu tapped the podium with his teaching stick and said word by word, "You know what? The three-month deadline has passed, and your nightmare is about to begin."
Jiang Han said calmly, "Really? Three months have passed, and classmate Lu still wants to maintain a close relationship with me?"
"Bah! What close relationship do you mean? Shame on you!" Lu Jiuqiu was angry.
Jiang Han said without even looking up: "Why don't we just finish it? I feel a lot more relaxed now that I don't have to worry about Lu anymore."
"You..." Jiuqiu pointed at Jiang Han angrily, and Liangxia seemed to see the rage burning above her head.
"Jiuqiu." Liang Xia hurried over, pulled Jiuqiu out of the classroom, and said to her, "Okay, don't bother Jiang Han anymore. Isn't it good that he doesn't care about you anymore? Do you want him to keep a close eye on you again?"
"I don't want to." Jiu Qiu said with disdain.
"That's it, why do you want to provoke him?"
Jiuqiu curled his lips and said, "Forget it, I won't bother him. I'll go ask the teacher to change my seat." After saying that, Jiuqiu immediately walked towards the teacher's office.
Jiuqiu is a man of action, and Liangxia is already used to that.
What's more ridiculous is that the teacher agreed to Jiuqiu's suggestion to change the seat. Jiuqiu's reason for changing the seat is that "Jiang Han is such an excellent student, and a person like me who lags behind will affect his studies if he sits next to him."
The teacher responded: “I think what you said makes sense.”
As a result, Jiuqiu was transferred to the last row. When eating, she stuck her chopsticks into the rice as if it were a stick of incense, and bowed three times to the sky to express her gratitude.
"But..." Liang Xia said worriedly, "We are going to take the college entrance examination. You sit in the last row, no one cares about you, and you are not self-disciplined. How can you take the college entrance examination?"
Upon hearing this, Jiuqiu lowered his head to eat and smiled unconsciously.
Is she really undisciplined? If she is really undisciplined, with her previous grades, how could she be admitted to No. 1 Middle School with Liang Xia?
"Tang Cheng." Liang Xia felt that this was a very important matter, so she immediately put down her spoon and said to Tang Cheng, "You must supervise Jiu Qiu well!"
"Lin Liangxia, you're meddling too much, and you...how can you push the person you like to someone else's supervision?" Jiu Qiu said impatiently.
"What...what person do you like? You..." Liang Xia blushed because of this sudden sentence, and hurriedly explained, "Don't talk nonsense! Also, you are my best friend, what do you mean by someone else? Are you someone else?"
Jiuqiu didn't say anything, but his thoughts were stirring.
Wouldn't it be more tormenting for her to have Tang Cheng supervise her? It would be better to have Jiang Han supervise her.
However, Jiuqiu was unable to convince Liangxia, or rather, she never really argued with Liangxia about anything.
Since Liang Xia asked Tang Cheng to supervise her, then she would agree. At that time, she would be more self-conscious and not give herself more opportunities to have private contact with Tang Cheng.
Therefore, since Tang Cheng came to supervise Jiuqiu, Jiuqiu has completed every homework assignment very carefully.
Tang Cheng would casually flip through a page and raise an eyebrow: "Well done."
"Of course." Jiuqiu's face showed unconcealable pride.
Tang Cheng smiled and put her homework book together with his own. They didn't feel anything strange.
At the New Year's Eve party in their first year of high school, Jiuqiu and Liangxia became rivals because of their class camps.
Jiuqiu felt that this kind of confrontation was meaningless because Liangxia would definitely win. Why? Because Jiuqiu mentioned the names of the girls in his class and found that none of them could compete with Liangxia.
Liang Xiaren is beautiful, has been able to sing and dance since she was young, and is a very talented woman.
For the New Year's Eve party, Liang Xia was the coordinator of Class A. The type of performance their class needed was voted on by the whole class, and then everything was arranged by Liang Xia.
Their class performed the stage play "Love in a Fallen City", which is a stage play that tests one's dancing and acting skills extremely well, and is the most novel program at this year's New Year's Eve party.
However, Jiuqiu's class chose to recite the poem "Man Jiang Hong·Xie Huai".
People from other classes laughed at Class B where Jiuqiu was, wondering what was so good about . However, what they didn't know was that Class B's poetry recitation was not just poetry recitation.
What surprised Jiuqiu even more was that the trump card in the poetry recitation was thought up by Jiang Han.
The New Year's Eve party was approaching, and students in every class were rehearsing their programs in secret, fearing that their rehearsals would be seen by students from other classes.
Jiuqiu and Liangxia also reached a "competition" agreement tacitly.
Jiuqiu said, "Liangxia! Just do whatever you want. Our class will win this time."
Liang Xia was confident: "It's still uncertain who will win or lose."
Liangxia and Jiuqiu both enjoyed the feeling of competition. They had always existed as a community before, but now, for the first time, they became rivals and wanted to win honor for their own camps, so neither of them wanted to admit defeat.
It is not an easy task to stage a stage play, but fortunately, there are only two most important characters in "Love in a Fallen City", which greatly reduces the difficulty of rehearsal.
When choosing the role of "Fan Liuyuan", Jian Yingfei, a popular figure in the class, volunteered. Liang Xia was a little overjoyed because Jian Yingfei's personality and appearance were the closest to Fan Liuyuan in the class. Moreover, Jian Yingfei never participated in any activities in the class. This time, his volunteering made Liang Xia a little more surprised.
When Liang Xia was telling Jian Yingfei the story, Jian Yingfei said, "If I were Fan Liuyuan, I would have married Bai Liusu right from the start."
"No." Liang Xia shook her head and said seriously, "It's because you are not Fan Liuyuan that you think so. You have to remember that Fan Liuyuan and Bai Liusu had a tug-of-war at the beginning of the plot."
Jian Yingfei was stunned for a moment and said, "I'll go back and read the book again."
"Okay." Liang Xia responded.
Although Jian Yingfei didn't like reading this type of love story, he still reread the book, but he still couldn't get into it. He took out his phone and sent a QQ message to Liang Xia: "I heard that your class is going to perform "Love in a Fallen City"? "
Liang Xia, who was revising a script in the dormitory, saw the news about "Flying Angel" and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"Nothing, nothing." Jian Yingfei, hiding behind the name "Flying Angel", replied.
Liang Xia asked again: "What will your class perform?"
After a long time, Jian Yingfei sent two words: "Secret."
Liang Xia smiled and shook her head, then put down her phone and continued to revise the script, no longer paying attention to the "Flying Angel".
Jian Yingfei was very satisfied to be able to talk to Liang Xia for a few words. He liked Liang Xia's elegant and refined appearance, her personality that was different from other girls, and her concentration when she frowned and thought about things. And he liked her since the first day of school.
I remember it was a sunny day. Liangxia arrived at the classroom early and chose a seat by the window.
She propped her chin with one hand, looking at the shadows of trees in the sunlight outside the window, her thin bangs dyed golden. As soon as Jian Yingfei entered the classroom, his eyes were attracted to her.
Sometimes, Jian Yingfei approached Liang Xia intentionally or unintentionally to ask her a question or borrow an eraser. Liang Xia always smiled gently and said, "You're welcome."
Compared with other girls in the class, she never did .
Jian Yingfei felt that Liang Xia's temperament could only be found in people in books.
It was precisely because of her elegance that made her stand out from the crowd that Jian Yingfei did not dare to easily dream of becoming friends with Liang Xia .
During the rehearsal days, Jian Yingfei behaved very obediently and worked very hard. He listened carefully to Liang Xia's instructions and completed every cooperation with Liang Xia, including lines, dance, hugs, and every action that could touch Liang Xia. Jian Yingfei completed it carefully.
Jian Yingfei and Liang Xia have a great chemistry between them, and even before the official performance, everyone felt that the stage play of "Love in a Fallen City" would be a success.
