Chapter 18
Strange to say, probably out of sympathy from the same perspective, the acquaintance value of Liao Qingqing and Xia Jie's relationship soared for a while, and finally stopped at the edge of the critical point of friendship.There were even unprovoked rumors about the two of them in the class.Of course, everyone agreed that Liao Qingqing succeeded in chasing Xia Jie.
Looking at it this way, it can be regarded as an accident in necessity, and an inevitability in accident.It's just that there are some things that Xia Jie naturally wouldn't say clearly.Leaving Liao Qingqing wondering secretly, Xia Jie is much easier to approach than imagined.
Besides, Xu Suqing, their acting head teacher, has never been more responsible since taking over the responsibility, even more conscientious than when Lao Yu himself was there.In the last century, there were fewer college students, and the jobs after graduation were all assigned by the superiors.
Xu Suqing and Lao Yu were high school classmates and college alumni, and they were assigned to the same high school by coincidence after graduation, so this is probably why Lao Yu assured Xu Suqing that a physics teacher would come to the algebra class.The two had a deep friendship for decades, and Xu Suqing always cut first and then played in their class.
For example, in the past few days, Xu Suqing asked the class monitor to hang a countdown to the college entrance examination on the wall next to the blackboard. Or for example, in the current class meeting, Lao Xu walked up to the classroom podium with his physics book in his arms. The person who had already sat down on the podium said, "Don't worry, I won't teach this class meeting, and I won't give you chicken soup for the soul, so just chat a few words."
Everyone's tight shoulders have been worn down by Old Xu these days.After only a few minutes, they quickly realized that the chatter that the violent old Xu said was not chatter as they understood it.
Xu Suqing pointed to the new countdown calendar on the wall behind him, shocked the students with the life-determining college entrance examination, and then called a few people to get up and ask college entrance examination volunteers.
It is not too early to say whether it is too early or too late to volunteer for the college entrance examination.The classroom was full of students who hadn't reached the third grade, and the last major decision they made was probably only the division of arts and sciences.The person who was named stood up and hesitated, unable to explain why.
Xu Suqing blew his beard and stared: "Stop everything you say! Don't sit down!"
The end of this atmosphere was the tail of the crane in the back row who usually didn't study much. He stood up and thought about it, and he was able to think of the school that was always talked about by those adults. Said: "I want to take the Tsinghua University exam."
Xu Suqing immediately laughed angrily, "Stinky boy, you are the only one still taking the Tsinghua University exam! How much did you score in the last physics quiz?" He walked around to the back of the classroom, reached out and tapped the blackboard gently, "The Propaganda Committee After a while, the blackboard will be wiped off, and a college entrance examination volunteer wall will be built again, and other people will post their own volunteers on the wall. Two days later, I will see everyone’s volunteers on this wall."
Xia Jie also didn't think about the college entrance examination application. After school, he deliberately passed by the door of the Teppanyaki restaurant that Chen Yi often went to. As expected, he saw Chen Yi sitting at the table with his back turned to him.He calmly withdrew his eyes and looked straight ahead, and the next second he heard Xie Jue, who was facing his direction, calling his name.
Only then did Xia Jie walk in without haste. First, when he usually walked to the vacant seat next to Xie Jue and was about to sit down, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and turned back to Chen Yi with a very obvious intention, hiding his inner feelings. sat down contentedly.
Xie Jue looked at him with complicated eyes. Since the last time he opened up the conversation with his brother, he felt that Xia Jie was not very close to him, and would always stand by Chen Yi's side when he had anything to do.But usually when the two of them talk, Xia Jie's tone is still the same as usual, calling each "brother" very sweet.Xie Jue couldn't figure it out, and was really puzzled.
Of course, he soon stopped thinking about it, after all, he was the one who made his brother and Chen Yi get along in harmony.Boys are not like this, they usually like to meet brothers and friends everywhere, wishing to bring all their brothers into a circle and play together.
He asked the waiter for the menu and handed it to Xia Jie, "Brother treats you to dinner."
Xia Jie browsed slowly from the top to the end of the menu, and then looked back from the end.It happened to be after school at this time, and there were quite a lot of students eating in the store. The waiter was a little anxious, but it was not easy to rush.
"Difficult to choose?" Chen Yi sent text messages with his hair lowered before, but now he put away his phone and asked him, "How about I help you choose?"
Xia Jie pushed the menu aside and said without hesitation: "Okay, you can help me choose."
How did he know that Chen Yi didn't even look at it, so he returned the menu to the waiter at the table, with a long voice, "Let's just - stewed chicken with mushrooms."
Xia Jie: "..."
Turning around, I wanted to ask the waiter to change it, but found that the waiter had already gone to other tables in a hurry, leaving the back of his head for himself.Xia Jie's face turned red immediately, but he still kept his composure and complained: "I don't eat stewed chicken with mushrooms, you can eat whatever you order."
Chen Yi held it back for a while, "hahaha" laughed, not forgetting to tease Xia Jie, "Do you not eat chicken, or - do you not eat shiitake mushrooms?"
Xia Jie lowered his head and said depressedly: "I don't even eat."
Seeing his dejected look, Chen Yi thought about whether he was a little too funny, so he stretched out his hand and pinched Xia Jie's cheek and said to comfort him: "Isn't it just what I said to you last time, isn't it? Girl, how can you be so thin-skinned."
Xie Jue had been watching the interaction between the two of them, and he didn't know what mushrooms were. This time, he finally found an opportunity to illustrate, and said proudly, "Isn't my younger brother much prettier than those girls?"
After he finished speaking, he received Xia Jie's indifferent face. He wiped his face away a little depressed, but happened to meet the eyes of the girl passing by, and was glared at him.When he said this, he was focusing on Xia Jie, but he didn't want the girl passing by to listen to him intentionally and distort his meaning.
Xie Jue felt deeply powerless. Ever since he was a child, he had never been the central figure surrounded by other people. Now sitting opposite Xia Jie and Chen Yi, he didn't have a sense of existence. It was rare for him to speak. The opportunity to blend into the topic will be rejected.
Why does this feeling feel so much like going out to eat with a buddy and his girlfriend? ? ?Xie Jue was a little frightened by the thoughts that popped up in his head, and shook his head vigorously, not wanting to be mocked lightly by Chen Yi: "Haven't you taken your medicine today?"
Xie Jue: "..."
There are many people eating in the store, and the waiting time is a bit long.Xia Jie remembered his intention of coming to find Chen Yi, and finally turned his attention away from the mushrooms.As usual, he started with Xie Jue first, and then went to find out what Chen Yi said, "Brother, is there a volunteer wall behind your classroom? What did you write about in the college entrance examination volunteer?"
"Volunteer for the college entrance examination?" Xie Jue looked at him in bewilderment, "What is that?"
Chen Yi sneered, "If you ask him about his college entrance examination application, you might as well ask his father about his overseas application."
Xia Jie also felt that his question was a bit silly. Fortunately, Chen Yi took over the conversation, and he naturally turned the questioner to the other party, "What about you? What is your college entrance examination wish?"
"I..." Chen Yi lowered his eyelashes and thought for a while, with a casual tone in his tone, "I have to wait until the results of the college entrance examination come out to think about this kind of thing."
"What kind of school is that?" Xia Jie was a little eager for his answer, and even couldn't help adding modal particles in the ending sound, which sounded a bit like a baby.Chen Yi looked at him in surprise, Xia Jie hurriedly added to save, "Our teacher, let us post our college entrance examination wishes on the back of the classroom within two days."
Hearing this, Xie Jue couldn't help but read a few words: "Why does this strange painting style look so similar to our head teacher?"
Chen Yi propped his head and tilted his head to look at the two of them. Seeing that after Xie Jue finished speaking, Xia Jie's gaze returned to him, as if he had been waiting for his answer, and said ambiguously: "School... there is no need to take exams. It’s such a good school, just take the exam and get a mediocre one on the ranking list.”
Xie Jue, the only crane tail present here, twitched the corners of his mouth, "What is an ordinary school? An ordinary school compared to the prestigious Ivy League schools?"
Xia Jie was a little confused when he heard that, he just thought Xie Jue was mocking Chen Yi, so he didn't think much about it.I just thought about it secretly, does the general school refer to the ordinary two or three?Speaking of which, Chen Yi's score on the paper is a bit difficult to take three exams?In addition, if you use your grades to read an ordinary two or three books, your family will not allow it...
Thinking of this, Xia Jie suddenly trembled.What was he thinking just now?Go to the same university as Chen Yi?Xia Jie stared at the empty table in a daze, replaying the thought over and over again in his heart.He probably didn't think about it before and didn't know that he actually had such a bold idea.
Probably when Xia Jie came over, not long after Chen Yi and Xie Jue had sat down in the shop, the three of them had their iron plate rice served together.Xia Jie was full of thoughts and returned to the stewed chicken with mushrooms in front of him, and said silently three times in his heart. After eating, he should not open his mouth to talk, and remember to buy chewing gum.
Chen Yi asked him nonchalantly, "Do you eat beef?"
I thought the other party was talking to Xie Jue, but I didn't hear Xie Jue's answer for a long time. I looked up and saw the person on the other side was buried in eating. When I turned around, I realized that Chen Yi had been staring at him, so he replied dryly with "eat" Character.
Then the conversation ended, and Chen Yi changed the plate in front of the two of them, and explained with a relaxed expression, "Then let's change it."
"Okay, okay."
Xia Jie was hit by the sudden surprise and stuttered a little.Fortunately, Chen Yi had already concentrated on provoking Cong, and didn't pay too much attention to his tone and expression.Speaking of which, Chen Yi had never eaten a bite of the potato and beef iron plate rice in front of him, but the spoon touched his lips.
It would be great if even the spoons were exchanged with each other, he was immersed in his own thoughts, thinking with some regret.In the next second, Chen Yi suddenly heard sighing lightly: "Who made you thinner than a girl?"
Teasing him again.Xia Jie's heart is like a bright mirror, but he can't get angry at all.He touched his face lightly, the face that was slightly hot because the other party mentioned the mushrooms didn't seem to be cooling down.
He really likes Chen Yi.
