After a hundred days of swearing-in, the study atmosphere in the senior year of high school became increasingly tense. Everyone is racing against time, trying to review more knowledge in the last minute.
During the evening self-study period, there was the sound of junior high school students playing in the first and second grades outside. There is only the senior high school floor, and almost no one goes out. They are all memorizing and answering questions in the classroom.
Jiang Suichu was also doing homework, and Lu Zhinian was reading an English magazine beside her. After she finished writing a question, she accidentally glanced at him and secretly clicked her tongue twice.
It's so irritating that people are more popular than others. There is no one in the classroom who is more laid-back than Lu Zhinian. But he does have that capital, because Lu Zhinian has already passed the recommended quota of A University. He still comes to school just to accompany her.
Lu Zhinian noticed Jiang Suichu's gaze and thought she had encountered something strange again. He put down the magazine and naturally took the paper in her hand: "Where can I not?"
Jiang Suchu: "……."
She pouted and grabbed the test paper: "I can do well anywhere!"
Lu Zhinian raised his eyebrows: "That's pretty impressive."
Jiang Suichu rolled her eyes at him and said arrogantly, "That's not true. Don't forget that I am now the number one in my grade."
Lu Zhinian stopped taking the school's exams after he was recommended, so the first place in the grade was firmly reserved for Jiang Suchu.
Lu Zhinian looked at her arrogant little expression and curled his lower lip. He raised his hand to take the pen out of her hand and threw it on the table: "Stop writing, go out and change your mind."
There is absolutely no problem for Jiang Suchu to get into A-level. She just needs to maintain a good attitude and perform stably in the examination room.
Jiang Suchu grabbed the pen that rolled around on the table and almost fell to the ground, and looked at him: "Where are you going?"
Lu Zhinian tilted his head and said, "Go to the canteen to buy yogurt."
Jiang Suichu smacked his lips, and he really wanted to drink yogurt.
"Let's go!" She stood up, grabbed the meal card from the table and raised her chin at him, "I'll give you a chance to max out my card."
She has many grants and scholarships for this semester, and they are all in her meal card. Aunt Wu usually brings meals from home, so there is no chance to use the money in the meal card.
Lu Zhinian looked at her sullen look and smiled: "Don't feel bad when the time comes."
Jiang Suchu snorted: "Who are you looking down on?"
The school is worried that students' meal cards will be lost and stolen. The card machines have set a limit. They can only use a maximum of 100 yuan a day.
Lu Zhinian looked at her coquettish appearance and smiled helplessly, holding his cell phone and following her pace.
The campus always has a different atmosphere at night. The two of them walked side by side on the avenue leading to the canteen. The fragrance of gardenia is already very strong in the air, and it smells sweet in every breath.
There were many people in the canteen. Jiang Suchu walked in front and squeezed in. Lu Zhinian followed her with some worry, his arms weakly protecting her side.
"Why are there so many people today?" Jiang Suichu walked in and looked back at Lu Zhinian.
Lu Zhinian was much taller than her, and he could see the situation inside at a glance: "There seems to be some activity?"
"Activity?" Jiang Suichu became interested. He grabbed the hem of Lu Zhinian's school uniform and squeezed it in.
Lu Zhinian lowered his eyes and glanced at the rumpled hem of his clothes, and smiled helplessly: "Slow down."
The two of them squeezed to the end, and it turned out that Yunyou Yogurt was having a promotion. Jiang Suichu glanced at the poster on the refrigerator. It said there was a prize for opening the lid and another bottle.
She turned to look at Lu Zhinian: "Lu Zhinian, do you think I will win the lottery?"
Lu Zhinian stood behind her, seemed to think about it seriously, nodded and said, "I think so."
Jiang Suchu smiled and asked him, "Why do you think so?"
Lu Zhinian curled his lower lip and said, "Intuition."
"Tch!" Jiang Suichu rolled her eyes at him, but she was still expecting him to praise her for her good luck.
"Then I'll buy a bottle first, and if you win, I'll give you one." She opened the freezer and stood on tiptoe, just as she was about to reach out for a bottle of white peach flavor. Lu Zhinian was a step ahead of her.
Lu Zhinian put his arm over her head and took a bottle of white peach yogurt and handed it to her: "So if I don't win, does that mean I don't have to drink it?"
Jiang Suchu walked to the checkout counter with yogurt in his hand. He turned around and said to him with a smile, "That's right. You don't like yogurt anyway."
Lu Zhinian put his hands in his pockets, followed her footsteps, walked beside her, lowered his head and sneered in her ear, "Excuse, little money man."
He had discovered a long time ago that Jiang Suichu was a bit of a money addict. Not only did she receive all the bursaries and scholarships in school, she even participated in almost all small competitions that offered prize money.
He knew that Jiang Suchu had been saving money for the past two years to prepare for college.
Although Jiang Suichu has lived in the Lu family for the past two years, she insisted on paying the tuition and fees with Jiang Zhiwei's pension. Shu Yuan knew that Jiang Suchu was proud of her, so she took more care of her in daily life. In other aspects, as long as Jiang Suchu can solve it by himself, she will not interfere too much.
There were several people queuing up to check out in front of the cashier. Jiang Suichu turned around and glared at him when he got into the queue. But she didn't want to see Zhou Siqing next to the shelf at a glance, and her eyes turned cold immediately.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zhinian noticed the change in her mood and looked back along her gaze. They were all strangers.
Jiang Suichu stared at the innermost set of shelves: "Nothing, I just saw Zhou Siqing."
She wasn't sure if she saw it right. The moment she looked back, she seemed to see Zhou Siqing facing them with a mobile phone in her hand.
I don’t know if I’m taking pictures.
Lu Zhinian frowned and looked back over there. Ever since he warned Zhou Siqing, she had indeed become more at ease. In the class, he also kept a distance from Jiang Suchu and never got too close to her.
But he still felt uneasy. Zhou Siqing seemed to have a cheerful personality and could play with anyone. But in fact, he is an extremely extreme person, which is why Lu Zhinian comes to school every day to accompany Jiang Suichu in class even after being recommended.
He was a little uneasy.
At this time, it was Jiang Suichu's turn to pay. She looked away and handed the yogurt to the cashier to scan the code, then took out the meal card and stuck it on the credit card machine.
After paying, Jiang Suchu took the yogurt and walked out of the canteen, and the two of them walked to the laurel tree next to the canteen. Jiang Suchu was holding the yogurt bottle cap in his hand, and he was actually a little nervous.
"Should I do it?" She looked up at Lu Zhinian.
Most of the light from the street lamp was blocked by the osmanthus tree, and the light under the tree was a little dim. Lu Zhinian looked at her face and smiled: "Well, let's go."
Jiang Suchu took a breath and twisted his fingers hard.
Um?
She was stunned and didn't move.
The weather is already very hot now, and the yogurt bottle has water droplets all over it after being taken out of the freezer. Her hands were also stained with water and were a little slippery, making it difficult to unscrew them.
She raised her eyes to look at Lu Zhinian and smiled, offering yogurt with both hands: "It's better you do it, you've always had better luck than me."
Lu Zhinian twitched the corner of his mouth, took the yogurt and gently twisted the bottle cap, and it was unscrewed.
He didn't go to see if he had won the prize, but screwed the bottle cap back a little and handed it back to her: "Here, let's draw the prize."
Jiang Suichu glanced at the bottle cap that had been unscrewed but not completely unscrewed, smiled, and teased: "Lu Zhinian, you are so good at it."
Lu Zhinian raised his eyebrows: "What's so good about it?"
Jiang Suichu glanced around, made sure there was no one around, then stood up on tiptoes and whispered in his ear: "It's good to fall in love."
Lu Zhinian curled his lower lip, smiled and said nothing.
She has liked this kind of lottery since she was a child, and she will be very happy every time she wins. He just wanted to leave her the joy of knowing he had won the lottery for the first time.
"Hurry up and see if you have another bottle of mine." He raised his chin and motioned for her to hurry up and draw the prize.
Jiang Suichu pretended to unscrew the bottle cap very hard, then held it up to the streetlight and squinted to see if he had won the prize.
"Ah!! Lu Zhinian, I won the prize!" Jiang Suichu jumped up excitedly when he saw another bottle on the bottle cap.
She raised the bottle cap to his eyes: "Look, look, you really have won the prize."
Lu Zhinian smiled and took the bottle cap in her hand and looked at it. He really had won the prize.
Jiang Suichu took the bottle cap and stuffed the yogurt into Lu Zhinian's hand: "Wait for me here and I'll redeem the prize."
As she said that, she jumped up and ran to the canteen with the winning bottle cap. Lu Zhinian held the opened yogurt in his hand, looked at her back and shook his head helplessly.
After a while, Lu Zhinian saw her coming back with two bottles of yogurt, one of which had no cap.
He tilted his head and looked at the yogurt in her hand: "This is it?"
Jiang Suichu held yogurt on his cell phone and suppressed a smile: "I just won another bottle."
After redeeming her prize just now, she opened the bottle at the cashier and saw that there was another bottle.
Lu Zhinian smiled and praised: "Should I say it or not, you are quite lucky."
"Hahaha~" Jiang Suichu didn't expect that he would buy a yogurt on a whim and win two bottles in a row.
She glanced at the yogurt in their hands and said, "We will drink these two bottles without caps, and leave this bottle for Lele."
As she spoke, she stuffed the bottle of yogurt with a cap into Lu Zhinian's school uniform pocket, and drank the white peach yogurt without a cap.
The evening was breezy and a bit cool.
Jiang Suichu drank yogurt and walked along the quiet path of the school humming a tune. Since her senior year of high school, she has been pushing herself very hard and studying all the time. This should be considered one of the few moments in the past six months when she felt truly relaxed.
Lu Zhinian walked a little behind her, and the corners of his lips rose when he heard her humming.
He took out his mobile phone, turned on the video mode and faced her: "Jiang Suichu."
"Huh?" Jiang Suchu turned around, the yogurt bottle still in his mouth.
She was stunned when she saw Lu Zhinian holding a mobile phone in his hand. She held a yogurt bottle blankly and asked him: "Lu Zhinian, what are you doing?"
Lu Zhinian looked at her on the phone, with a white yogurt stain on his lips.
He smiled and stared at her on the phone: "Jiang Suichu, when will you get rid of your habit of drinking yogurt since you were a child?"
When Jiang Suchu heard this, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lower lip, then squinted his eyes and stepped forward to grab his phone: "Lu Zhinian, when will you change your habit of secretly filming me?"
She had discovered before that Lu Zhinian liked to take secret photos of her with his mobile phone. But he never let her see what he took. She now reasonably suspected that Lu Zhinian must have a lot of ugly photos and videos of her on his phone.
She held up the yogurt and was about to grab his phone. Lu Zhinian smiled and took a few steps back, holding the phone up.
Lu Zhinian has gained several centimeters in the past six months, and is now almost 187, while Jiang Suichuan will be close to 163. She jumped up and couldn't reach the phone in his hand.
"Lu Zhinian!" Jiang Suchu was holding yogurt in one hand and akimbo with the other, staring at him, "Why did you shoot me?"
Lu Zhinian looked at her wrinkled little face on the phone, with a casual smile on his lips: "I'll commemorate it."
Jiang Suichu looked at him: "What are you commemorating?"
Lu Zhinian touched the yogurt in his hand to the one in her hand, and said in a lazy voice: "I'll have another bottle of mine to commemorate."
Jiang Suichu glanced at the yogurt in his hand and smiled speechlessly: "You are really..."
She deliberately didn't finish her sentence and dragged her words out a bit.
Lu Zhinian tilted his head and looked at her: "What is it?"
Jiang Suichu pursed his lower lip, stood on tiptoes and approached the camera of his mobile phone, put his palm to his mouth and whispered: "Lu, Jiao, Jiao."
Lu Zhinian: "…….."
"Hahaha~" Piwanjiang Suichu stuck out his tongue at him and ran away without waiting for him.
Lu Zhinian watched her running away and laughed softly. He turned off the camera on his phone, clicked on the photo album to make sure that the video just now was saved, and then took steps to catch up.
There are a total of four periods of evening self-study for senior year students. The first three classes are all taught by subject teachers, and the last class is a self-study class for them to write homework and review.
In the third year of high school, there is no need for a teacher to keep an eye on you. Everyone is doing their own thing consciously. Jiang Suchu was also studying the English test paper carefully. This set of questions was asked by Lu Zhinian's grandmother to give her the questions based on her situation.
She hadn't finished writing a few questions when she saw the head teacher coming in. She thought the head teacher was here to inspect the classroom, but she didn't expect him to walk directly to their desk.
The head teacher knocked on Lu Zhinian's desk lightly, then glanced at Jiang Suchu: "You two, come with me."
After saying this, the head teacher turned around and went out first.
Jiang Suchu was stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Lu Zhinian.
Lu Zhinian frowned slightly and whispered to her: "It's okay, don't be afraid."
"Yeah." Jiang Suichu nodded, put down his pen, stood up and walked out with him.
When they arrived at the office, the two stood side by side in front of the head teacher.
The head teacher took a sip of tea and looked at the two of them with sharp eyes, but nothing happened for a while. Jiang Suchu was stared at by the head teacher tremblingly, while Lu Zhinian next to him had a calm expression.
The head teacher put down the water glass: "Jiang Suichu, have you had any difficulties in studying recently?"
Jiang Suchu was stunned for a moment and shook his head: "No... no problem."
The head teacher nodded: "Yeah. No problem. You are the seed player who is going to be the top pick in the city this year. It will be less than a month, so we must not take it lightly."
"I can, teacher." Jiang Suichu was still a little confused. Did the head teacher really ask the two of them to study?
After saying that, the head teacher looked at Lu Zhinian and said, "Lu Zhinian, I remember that your quota for recommendation came down last week."
Lu Zhinian nodded: "Yes."
Class teacher: "Then why do you come to school every day instead of having a good rest at home?"
Lu Zhinian smiled: "Teacher, there is no rule in the school that says you can't come back to class after being recommended."
The head teacher glanced at the two of them: "Do you want to come back to class or do you want to come back to accompany others in class?"
Jiang Suchu paused and his eyes widened slightly.
She knew that when the head teacher called them here, it must not be as simple as talking about studying.
Lu Zhinian also paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "Both."
Jiang Suchu glanced at him sharply, why did he dare to answer anything!
The head teacher was reaching out to pick up the tea cup, but his movements were stopped by his words: "You are honest!"
Lu Zhinian: "Isn't this what you taught me, teacher?"
This class teacher took Lu Zhinian under his supervision when he was a freshman in high school. For three years, the two of them became both teachers and friends, and they were more casual than ordinary teachers and students.
The head teacher gave him a faint nod with his hand and said seriously: "I asked you two to come. I think you two should also know why."
Jiang Suchu was a little embarrassed to look into the head teacher's eyes, and stared at the floor with his hands clasped in confusion.
Lu Zhinian glanced at Jiang Suchu and turned sideways to block her.
The head teacher glanced at the two of them and curled his lower lip with some relief.
In fact, anyone with a discerning eye can see the affection between Jiang Suchu and Lu Zhinian. Especially Lu Zhinian, who was often aloof and aloof as a top student in front of others, but when faced with Jiang Suchu, he was gentle and considerate.
It's just that the two of them have always behaved politely in school, and they are also at the top of their grade in studies. There is absolutely nothing to criticize.
He has always regarded himself as an enlightened teacher. As long as it does not affect learning or violate the rules, he fully respects each child's feelings and even wishes them well.
So all along, he never talked about the puppy love culture that other classes were strict about. He believes that at this age, it is normal to have emotional impulses.
If someone hadn't come to him to report today, he wouldn't have picked on him.
He took a sip of tea, looked at the two of them and said, "Teacher is also from your age and can understand you. But now is the critical period of the college entrance examination, and I still hope that you can distinguish the priorities."
As he spoke, he paused and looked at Lu Zhinian: "There are many people in the school, so sometimes you have to be careful when doing things. It may not matter if you are a boy, but a girl's reputation is very important."
What he said was to the point, and he believed that both of them were top academics and could understand what he meant.
Lu Zhinian narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but think of what Jiang Suichu said about seeing Zhou Siqing in the canteen.
At the end of the sentence, the head teacher looked at Jiang Suchu again. Seeing that she kept her head down, he smiled and called her: "Study committee member."
"Teacher." Jiang Suichu raised his head, his eyes a little evasive.
The head teacher smiled and said to her: "Lu Zhinian is a recommended student of A University. You can't lag behind him. You must win the title of city champion to make me proud."
Jiang Suchu was stunned and looked at Lu Zhinian.
Lu Zhinian raised his eyebrows at her.
The head teacher looked at the interaction between the two and couldn't stand it anymore. He knocked on the desk with the tea lid: "Look at me, look at me, look at what he does!"
Jiang Suichu turned his head in a hurry, his face suddenly burning up: "Oh... ok... ok teacher."
Later, the head teacher warned the two of them a few more words and then waved them back.
On the way back to the classroom, Jiang Suchu asked him: "Lu Zhinian, did the head teacher just mean that someone reported us?"
Lu Zhinian nodded: "That's probably what it means."
Jiang Suichu frowned and said, "Who is so boring?"
When she was approaching the classroom, she suddenly thought of what she had just done at the canteen. She turned to look at Lu Zhinian, "Could it be..."
Lu Zhinian looked at her and raised his eyebrows. It was obvious that the two of them thought of getting together.
Jiang Suchu clenched his fists: "Why does she always have trouble with me?"
Lu Zhinian raised his hand and rubbed her head: "Don't be angry. The angrier you are, the more likely you are to get in her way."
"Yes!" Jiang Suchu raised his hands and made a lucky gesture, and brainwashed himself: "I'm not angry, I'm not angry."
When she entered the classroom, she had a bright smile on her face, and when she passed Zhou Siqing's position, she pretended to accidentally hit her arm.
Zhou Siqing was writing questions when Jiang Suichu hit him and scratched a long mark on the test paper.
"Oops." Jiang Suichu pretended to apologize before she spoke, "I'm really sorry. I accidentally touched your arm."
"You!" Zhou Siqing was about to punish her. When he looked up, he saw Lu Zhinian with a sullen face behind Jiang Suichu.
His thin lips were pursed tightly, and his eyes were full of warning.
The two of them had just been called by the head teacher. She knew exactly why, so she was still a little scared when she saw Lu Zhinian.
She bit her lip and swallowed the words in frustration.
Jiang Suichu felt very happy when he saw her deflated look. He hummed and returned to his seat with his chin. Lu Zhinian followed her, and he could see from the back of her head how arrogant she was at the moment.
He chuckled and rubbed the tip of his nose.
Sitting back in his seat, Jiang Suchu saw the smile on the corner of his mouth and asked him in a low voice: "Why are you smiling?"
Lu Zhinian looked sideways at her, "Do you know what you called just now?"
Jiang Suichu was puzzled: "What's it called?"
Lu Zhinian had dimples on his cheeks and said lazily: "The fox is pretending to be the tiger."
Jiang Suichu: "..."
