Chapter 46

In the summer vacation after the end of the third year of junior high school, the two children devoted themselves to playing.

Although Ji Lin originally planned to catch fish, catch birds and climb trees, it turned into fishing, raising chickens and climbing mountains.

But still had a lot of fun.

Zheng Man returned home after playing, tired and paralyzed, and asked Ji Lin: "Do you go to your grandma's house every year to play like this?"

Ji Lin was in a dilemma.

After thinking for a while, he answered carefully, "It's much dirtier than this."

Going down the river, going to the fields, and stepping in and out of the ditch, getting covered in mud.

Then he was pushed away by Zheng Man in disgust.

That's pretty innocent.

Ji Lin fell down, hugging the sofa legs.He yelled: "What's wrong with me! The last time I got covered in mud was the year before last! You despise me from the year before last! Why do you despise me!"

The two stick together every day, jumping around.

When it was time for the school to start, Ji Lin was completely sunburned.

And Zheng Man looked quite pale.

Ji Lin was dissatisfied: "Everyone is basking in the sun together, why are you white and I am dark? It's not fair!"

"Because I put on sunscreen when I went out, and I didn't run under the sun." Zheng Man replied lazily.

He lifted up his clothes again, rolled up his sleeves to his shoulders, and showed him: "Actually, I'm also tanned, but not as dark as you."

He thought for a while, then turned his head to look at Ji Lin: "I think, you are actually dark, right? It's not completely sun-baked! Don't wrong the sun."

Ji Lin looked at his layered skin, and muttered, "It's not fair that the tanned one is so white."

Then he glared at his father: "It's all your fault!"

Ji Lin's father who is eating peas: "?"

He was at a loss, and said with a funny smile: "What's wrong, you can rely on me? I asked you to bask in the sun?"

"It's you who made me so black!" Ji Lin was dissatisfied, "My mother is very white, and I'm black because of your genes."

Ji Lin's father let out a hey, and was about to step forward to make gestures with him.

Ji Yan ran away in a hurry, calling Zheng Man and his mother while running: "Help! My dad beat someone!"

Zheng Man had a great time watching the play, Zhile said, "You deserve it."

When school started in September, Ji Lin hadn't come back in vain, but Zheng Man had regained his complexion.

The comparison between the two is a tragic one.

The immediate effect is that Ji Lin was laughed at.

Ji Lin, who was laughed at, turned from shame and anger to surprise after seeing the person coming.

Ji Lin hesitated to probe: "...Zhang Shanshan?"

When Zheng Man heard the name, he also stopped packing his things and turned his head.

Both of them were a little shocked.

Zhang Shanshan laughed loudly: "Why do you look like a ghost?"

She smiled and asked, "I haven't seen you for so long, do you still recognize me? I'm afraid you don't recognize me anymore!"

When old classmates meet, naturally they want to greet each other.

Ji Lin remembered that Zhang Shanshan went to Xinjiang with her father, so she asked curiously, "Your father has transferred back?"

Zhang Shanshan shook her head: "No."

"But he has been applying for a transfer order. We are not used to staying in Xinjiang."

She laughed: "Working there, my dad's salary has increased a lot, so he bought a house at home and asked me to move back first. Now I live with my grandma in the new house."

Speaking of which, Zhang Shanshan pointed to the right side of the school: "The new house is near the No. [-] Middle School, and it will take about ten minutes to walk there."

Ji Lin exclaimed: "Wow! School district room!"

No. [-] Middle School is also close to the business district, not only the housing in the school district, but also the bustling area. In this small city, every inch of land is very expensive.

Ji Lin couldn't help giving a thumbs up: "Then your dad's salary is really high."

Zhang Shanshan and them are not in the same class. Her classroom is on the far left of the second floor, and Ji Lin and Zheng Man are in the middle of the third floor.

Back in the classroom, Ji Lin was still chatting with Zheng Man enthusiastically, saying that he never expected to see Zhang Shanshan again.

Zheng Man replied with a smile, saying it was a good thing.

Before they entered school, they greeted the teacher in the admissions office and said they wanted to be in the same class.

There are not many students in the school who have passed the No. [-] Middle School, there are about twenty of them.

But there are more than 1000 to [-] freshmen in No. [-] Middle School, and the student base is too large. Except for the two of them, they are basically scattered.

While happy to meet Zhang Shanshan again, Ji Lin got the news that Li Lei did not come to No. [-] Middle School.

He took the admission letter from No. [-] Middle School, but ended up going to No. [-] Middle School.

Ji Lin dissatisfied: "What is he doing? Can the teaching environment of Ninth Middle School be compared with that of No. [-] Middle School? Besides, Lei Zi's family is not short of money!"

Li Hua smiled: "He just knew that you must say you lost your temper, so he told me not to tell you."

"I lost my temper!" Ji Lin was so angry that he slapped the table, "Don't tell me? Why, are you afraid that I will interrupt his dog legs?"

Zheng Man came to his senses and asked Li Hua, "Isn't there a technical secondary school next to Ninth High School?"

Li Hua just smiled and said nothing.

Ji Lin: "?"

He was at a loss: "So what if you have a technical secondary school?"

Zheng Man shook his head: "Nothing."

Ji Lin looked at Li Hua again with a puzzled expression.

Li Hua said inscrutablely: "I understand everything."

Ji Lin: "?"

Ji Lin became angry: "You two are playing charades with me, aren't you?"

He grabbed the ice water on the table and took a step forward.

Seeing this, Li Hua quickly ran away, shouting as he ran, "You can't become angry from embarrassment!!!"

"Stop!!!" Ji Lin chased after him and shouted, "If you run away again, I'll hit you!"

Li Hua: "If you don't run away, you are a fool!!!!"

Like the wind, it rushed into the teaching building.

Ji Lin was so angry that he stared blankly.

Can't really smash it.

He walked back sullenly, and Zheng Man just unscrewed the lid of the fruit orange and took a sip into his mouth. Ji Yan reached out and snatched it, threatening him: "Say! What kind of charades are you playing! If you don't tell me, I won't give it to you." Already!"

Zheng Man laughed: "Do I care about a bottle of drink?"

Ji Lin was speechless.

Sitting down bored, she glared at him: "You bully people."

With a straight look, there is nothing wrong with it.

Zheng Man: "Pfft."

He was helpless: "It's nothing, that is, do you know what Ren Ran's choice is after the high school entrance examination?"

Ji Lin: "?"

He was a little at a loss: "What does Ren Ran's wish have to do with this matter..."

Before he finished speaking, he came to his senses and said in shock, "The two of them? No, when did it happen?"

"It's not the two of them yet," Zheng Man laughed, "It's still Li Lei's business."

Ji Lin: "Tsk tsk."

Ji Lin shook his head: "Love makes people blind."

He thought about it, and felt wrong again: "How do you all know? Why don't I know?"

Zheng Man knew it was because Li Lei stopped him after he refused Ren Ran.

At that time Li Lei was a little angry, saying how could Zheng Man do this, there was nothing wrong with it.

Furious, and a little sour.

Zheng Man was silent for a while, and told him that this matter cannot be forced.

Li Lei wanted to refute him, but Zheng Man reminded him: "You want to protect her, how can you expect others not to hurt her? There is no reason to let others hold umbrellas because you are afraid of someone getting caught in the rain, right? You Don't have an umbrella? Why don't you just give her an umbrella?"

Li Lei was stunned.

"If you don't have an umbrella, go buy one." Zheng Man looked at him firmly, and left after saying this.

Ji Lin stared at him, waiting for an answer.

Zheng Man: "..."

He was silent for a while, and replied: "I saw it myself. As for Li Hua, it should be Li Lei who told him."

Ji Lin was surprised: "Why didn't I see it?"

And asked dissatisfied: "Why didn't you tell me when you saw it?"

"..." Zheng Man was speechless, "It's not that I like you, why did I tell you?"

After a pause, he said to him again: "Even if I like you, I won't tell you."

Ji Lin wailed: "Why!"

He was dissatisfied: "Why can't you tell me if you like me?"

"It's someone else's privacy," Zheng Man said with a strong accent on the word "privacy," and then reminded him, "He doesn't tell you, he just doesn't want you to know, so don't ask."

Ji Lin pouted.

After a while, he said in a muffled voice: "Li Hua knows everything, but I don't. I thought Lei Zi had the best relationship with me."

Zheng Man glanced at him, but said nothing.

Ji Lin immediately reacted, and approached him with a smile: "I mean Lei Zi has a good relationship with me, so of course I have the best relationship with you! Isn't it?"

Zheng Man laughed at him: "You two are not equal anymore, wouldn't it be reasonable for him not to tell you?"

Ji Lin was speechless.

That being said, I'm not very happy.

High school has to start living on campus.

The dormitory is for six people, and it is very lively.

Both of their luggage were in Zheng Man's father's car. After Zheng Man's father sent them to school, before he had time to send them to sign up, he received a call saying that Zheng Fengju had gotten into a fight and asked him to go to school.

This really made Zheng Man's father furious.

Why did you get into a fight with someone just after school started?

Seeing this, Zheng Man asked him to put down his luggage and go back to see what happened to Zheng Fengju.

"I'm fine here, you go back."

Zheng Man's father sighed: "What crime have I committed?"

I had no choice but to tell Ji Yan to let them pay attention, and hurried back in a hurry.

Ji Yan watched him go, and shrugged at Zheng Man: "Just talking, but not willing to teach the child, I'm serious, your brother is like this, it will be even worse when he grows up."

Zheng Man didn't answer, picked up the suitcase, and said to him: "Move your luggage, there is still a long way to go to the dormitory."

Seeing that he didn't want to mention it, Ji Lin didn't say anything.

Men's and women's dormitories are in different areas, far apart.

But the way into the school gate is still the same.

While Ji Lin and the two were carrying their things, they saw seniors popping up everywhere along the way, and enthusiastically asked the passing girls who carried things by themselves if they wanted to help.

Ji Lin couldn't help feeling: "Gender bonus..."

Zheng Man glanced at him: "Are you envious?"

"Cut," Ji Yan was very disdainful, "It's not that I can't carry it, what is there to envy? It's just this little luggage, it's a trivial matter."

Zheng Man said leisurely: "I'm quite envious, I can't lift it."

Ji Lin: "?"

Ji Lin was confused: "But didn't you just carry a bag?"

All the luggage is on Ji Lin's side, on his hands and shoulders, it's full.

Ji Lin sighed: "You are really delicate."

As he said that, he put down the suitcase in his hand, and reached out to stroke the schoolbag on Zheng Man's back: "Come on, give it to me, I told you to carry it for me."

Zheng Man saw the right moment, and immediately pulled the suitcase on the ground over.

Then he retreated three feet away and rolled his eyes at him: "You snatched it, okay? Each person gets a share, what are you doing here?"

Ji Lin was dumbfounded: "You are fighting cattle across the mountain... No, turn the tiger away from the mountain!"

Ji Yan secretly hated: "Despicable!"

He smiled again and said to him: "No, what are you taking by yourself? I am strong, so I will take it."

"You mean I'm a soft-footed shrimp?" Zheng Man raised an eyebrow.

How dare Ji Lin.

I had no choice but to surrender: "Okay, you can take it, let me take it."

Pushing out the suitcase in his hand again: "Change to another one, you take mine, I take yours. Your suitcase is too heavy."

As he said that, he asked Zheng Man suspiciously: "What's in your box? It's so heavy."

Zheng Man obediently pushed the two suitcases back and exchanged them with him.

Then he looked at him affectionately: "It's full of our love."

Ji Lin was stunned for a moment.

flushed.

Yelled: "What are you talking about! No, you are so disgusting!"

He was so flustered that his ears turned red.

Zheng Man laughed beside him.
