"I just took a walk around the school." Hong Xiqi threw the popsicle and pulled out a chair to sit down. "This school is really big, especially the tennis court, which has six courts; the art museum has too many equipments. The teaching building looks really majestic; the walls, tsk tsk, are said to be repainted every summer vacation, and the paint is so thick; the canteen is also full of stuff, so you don’t have to worry about running out of snacks.”
"Also, the cafeteria of No. 1 Middle School is also famous. It has three floors and serves both Chinese and Western food." Hong Xiqi took a sip of Coke, took out a bag of potato chips from her bag, opened it, and handed it to Tao You and Chen Lian. "Hey, military training starts tomorrow, and a week of hard days is about to begin."
"Oh, by the way, if you need any anti-heat medicine then, just come to me. My mother brought me a lot of them." Tao You then remembered and opened the drawer, showing various medicines arranged neatly.
Hong Xiqi was dumbfounded. She held the bag of potato chips with a squeaky nest, clasped her hands into fists, and chewed her mouth full of potato chips quickly. With a "gurgling" sound, Hong Xiqi stretched her neck slightly and swallowed the potato chips: "Sister, this is like a small infirmary."
"No, no." Tao You said with a hint of embarrassment, "Just some common medicines."
"By the way, why are there so many tennis courts in our school? Aren't there usually more basketball courts?" Tao You changed the subject, not only to ease his own embarrassment and change the subject, but also for his own selfish reasons.
"Most of those courts were newly built because of the comprehensive development proposal for after-school activities for high schools and primary schools issued by the Provincial Education Bureau a few years ago. The art museum was also built because of this. It's just that there were originally a lot of tennis players in No. 1 Middle School, but later on There are more, so we just built a few more. The tennis team of No. 1 Middle School is quite famous. Not only do most of the sports students choose this, but many ordinary students like us also sign up."
"One of the reasons is to earn credits; also, there are many handsome guys and beauties in the tennis club. Who doesn't want to be able to feast their eyes and relax after a day of high-intensity study and their brains are so tired that they are rusty? This is the legendary stress relief. "Hong Xiqi finished a long paragraph without breathing, "I plan to participate too, Tao You, will you come together? Chen Lian, are you coming too?" As she said this, Hong Xiqi grinned and raised her eyebrows at the two of them.
Tao You is not unaware of this proposal. It is said that each school's projects are determined by drawing lots, and competitions are held every year. Her previous school had a volleyball club specifically for this purpose.
She asked this just to test Hong Xiqi's knowledge of the tennis club and try to find out some information about the boy.
"How about it." Seeing that the two of them didn't answer, Hong Xiqi persuaded again: "You can earn credits and watch beautiful and handsome guys at the same time. It's a great thing to kill two birds with one stone. Moreover, not everyone will join the school team to participate in the competition. Yes, for people like us, we can just pick up balls and practice our basics and physical fitness, so we won’t be very tired.”
Chen Lian put away her bags and suitcases, but shook her head: "I, I'd better study, I'm not suitable for that."
"Forget it. Before I came here, my mother-in-law had a special order. I must start studying liberal arts from now on. If I pass the monthly exam and my liberal arts is too bad, I will be able to enjoy my fruits when I go home." To be honest, Tao You is It's a bit exciting. For a face-conscious person, watching handsome guys and beauties is always a pleasure. Besides, she quite likes tennis. Just thinking about my mother getting angry makes me tremble in my heart. Let alone tennis, even the handsome guys and beauties are nothing.
"Hey, okay, it seems I can only go by myself." Hong Xiqi was a little disappointed, but only a little. She regained her energy in the next second, "Then if you change your mind, you must tell me."
"I just saw a lot of people in the stadium. Are there any activities or competitions going on?" Tao You continued to ask.
"It's a summer training camp." Hong Xiqi sat astride a chair and put her hands on the back of the chair. "They should all be freshmen in high school. They recruited them in advance. Some of them were promoted from some junior high school teams and came to the training camp during the summer vacation. One is to select official school team players, and the other is to prepare for the autumn school league.”
"Oh." Tao You thought about how to continue asking more naturally, "They are all athletes, they are all so tall." Tao You felt his heart pounding violently, grabbed the water bottle, and took a few sips. The temperature on my face was slowly rising, and I had an indescribable feeling in my heart. I was a little excited, a little nervous, and a little expectant.
She couldn't explain why she was like this.
"Basically, after all, it takes a lot of time to train. However, there is one special one this year." Hong Xiqi became interested now, and even Chen Lian raised her head to listen to her, "There is a boy, not a sports student. But I have participated in many tennis competitions, won many gold medals, and am many times better than some sports students. He is also handsome, with a perfect schoolboy look, those facial features, that skin, that figure. Tsk tsk tsk... ··Definitely stay on the candidate list of the school president. The key is key, let’s hit the key points.” Hong Xiqi paused, picked up the drink, pretended to blow on the mouth of the bottle, took a few sips slowly, and attracted the attention of the other two. appetite.
Then he continued, "I'm very good at studying. I'm a top student, and I get competition awards. Not to mention first and second in the school, I'm still in the top ten. Even if I don't join the tennis team to earn credits or something. Yes, people can get into the best key universities based on their strength. He is such an all-around, perfect male protagonist in the novel."
"Is he really that good at studying?" Chen Lian, who had been silent for so long, unexpectedly said with doubt in her tone.
Tao You was also a little unconvinced. She felt that what Hong Xiqi said was a bit too exaggerated and had a bit of a girly filter.
"Don't believe it." Seeing that the two of them didn't believe it, Hong Xiqi became anxious. She slapped the back of the chair and stood up. Her voice became louder involuntarily, "I'll take you to see it later. Let's not talk about my grades. Just my appearance. If I tell any lies, I, I," she held up three fingers and swore, "I will be thundered. I can't learn anything, I can't test well, I can get fat even if I drink water."
"Don't swear casually." Chen Lian said timidly, "This is not good. Knock on the table three times quickly."
"Okay, okay." Hong Xiqi knocked on the wooden table three times.
Without waiting for Tao You and Chen Lian to say anything, Hong Xiqi pulled them out of the door and said, "I'll take you to see it right now."
Tao You's palms began to sweat, and her intuition told her that the boy her roommate mentioned was almost the same boy she saw today, and he had a very similar temperament.
I don’t know why, even though I don’t even know the person, just a silhouette, my adrenaline starts to surge. She took a deep breath silently, trying to calm herself down. It must be because I'm about to meet a handsome guy, so I'm mentally nervous. She comforted herself in her mind.
"Why is there no one?" The three of them stopped all the way, and the stadium was already empty. Seeing this, Tao You always felt an inexplicable sense of loss in his heart.
"Everyone should have gone to eat at this time." Chen Lian said as she glanced at the old watch on her wrist.
"Let's go to the cafeteria." After hearing this, Hong Xiqi turned around and walked in the opposite direction, "I must let you see me today."
In the end, the three of them still couldn't see the handsome boy who was the top student in Hong Xiqi's words, because the tennis team went out for dinner and was not at school at all.
Only then did Tao You's nervous body relax completely, and he breathed out a sigh of relief. He was secretly glad that he hadn't met her, but at the same time he was a little disappointed as to why he hadn't met him. She realized that she was too conflicted about what she was expecting.
Are you just looking forward to seeing handsome guys? Or is the boy you look forward to seeing during the holidays the same person as this boy? So what if it is, no matter what, no one knows her anyway.
There is a high probability that they will only be in a state where she knows others and others do not know her. Tao You hates this feeling of contradiction. She calmed down and forced herself out of this predicament of being manipulated by others.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. Anyway, in a school, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." She comforted Hong Xiqi, who had a grimace. "Let's go eat first. There are a lot of delicious food in the cafeteria of No. 1 Middle School."
"Yeah, yeah, let's go, hurry up and queue up, there won't be any good food later! I've heard for a long time that the pork rib rice in No. 1 Middle School is amazing, I must eat it today!" Hong Xiqi's mood suddenly turned from gloomy to bright, and the two of them With his eyes shining, he hurried towards the window.
Tao You smiled helplessly. She envied Hong Xiqi's free and straightforward personality, which was completely opposite to hers.
After eating, the three of them came to the classroom, which was already noisy. Most of the people in the class grew up in Weicheng. Some were classmates in elementary school and junior high school, some were alumni before, and many were just acquaintances. They were all trying to mingle with the people around them.
Tao You and the others arrived late, and before their buttocks were warm from sitting, the head teacher came in.
He is a fat, middle-aged male teacher. He has small eyes and a flat nose, not much hair, and has a Mediterranean trend. He is wearing an oversized blue plaid long-sleeved shirt, a pair of black oversized trousers, and a pair of black leather shoes that make a slight sound when stepping on the ground. There is a blue folder under the creaking nest, and a thermos cup in his hand. Walk into the classroom slowly.
The classroom gradually became quiet, and everyone looked at the person behind the podium. He put down the folder and thermos cup, took out a brand new white chalk from the chalk box, broke it skillfully, turned around and wrote his name - Wen Qian - in the middle of the blackboard.
After finishing writing, he threw the chalk on the podium, patted the dust on his hands, supported the podium with both hands, scanned the classroom with his small eyes, and then slowly said: "Hello everyone, I will be your class teacher and math teacher from now on. Wen Qian."
"Wen Qian", "Wen Qian". There were whispers below, and a bit of laughter could be heard from time to time. Tao You and the others couldn't help covering their mouths and laughing when they looked at the names on the blackboard.
"I know what you are laughing at. It's okay. I'm used to it. You don't have to feel embarrassed. I think my parents also placed good hopes on me when they gave me this name." Teacher Wen has been teaching for so many years. , he knew the little thoughts of the students below, "I have always felt that they should name me Wen Taoli, not Wen Qian. When walking on the street, I would rather be called 'Wen Taoli', and It's not 'smell the money'. After all, this is the amount of money I earn, but I have so many peaches and plums all over the world."
The students in the class burst into laughter and applauded violently. They all agreed that this would be a very easy-to-talk and kind class teacher. They were also grateful to have met such a class teacher. The next year should not be very painful.
I don’t know if this teacher’s teaching style is harsh or strict. Telling jokes and being easy to talk to are both rare occurrences. You are lucky if you can happen to them once a year.
After the class teacher finished reporting the list, he started talking about the next military training matters.
After the class meeting, Tao You and the others set out to get their military training uniforms. By the time everything is done, it's already getting late. Tao You and the others simply went straight to have dinner before returning to the dormitory.
It was almost midnight, the sky outside the window was pitch black, the cicadas were chirping incessantly, the lights in the dormitory were turned off, the campus network was turned off, and the other two people in the dormitory were already asleep.
Tao You lay on the bed, looking at the sky outside the window in trance. She is a little homesick. What are her parents doing now? They should be getting ready to go to bed. Her nose was slightly sour, she sniffed, turned around and tried to fall asleep.
