The party is over.
Yang Chen took Nan Xiangwan home on a bicycle.
On the road.
"Did you have fun today?" Yang Chen asked.
"I'm very happy, thank you." Nan Xiangwan said.
"Just be happy. You are usually too tight. You should relax properly." Yang Chen said.
"Well, I didn't expect you to be quite versatile. You can do magic and play guitar." Nan Xiangwan said.
"I know a lot of things, and this is just the tip of the iceberg." Yang Chen said with a smile.
"Exactly, that's the end of the iceberg. If you can use your bragging skills in your studies, your grades will definitely improve very quickly." Nan Xiangwan said.
"Please, my grades should be better than yours? With your grades, what makes you unqualified to say such a thing?" Yang Chen said.
"Hmph, I'm asking too much. You were only a few spots higher than me in the last placement test. I will definitely surpass you in the next test." Nan Xiangwan snorted.
"Let's wait until you surpass me." Yang Chen said.
"Okay, then let's compare. If my score exceeds yours in the next monthly exam, you have to listen to me and study obediently." Nan Xiangwan said.
"Why, are you starting to take care of my studies now? Do you want me to go to the same university as you so that we can be together?" Yang Chen joked.
"Whatever you think, just tell me whether you dare to agree?" Nan Xiangwan said with an unchanging expression.
"Let me tell you, provocation is useless here. However, you can make me agree to it. If you lose, you have to go on a date with me." Yang Chen said.
"No problem." Nan Xiangwan said.
"Then it's settled." Yang Chen said.
…
The National Day holiday is over and all students have returned to school.
Jingle bell bell bell bell…
The bell rang for the end of get out of class.
Lin Xiaoran came to Yang Chen and asked: "The Xiangbei High School Basketball League is about to start. Tomorrow our school will play against the No. 5 Middle School. Do you want to play?"
"Fifth Middle School? How are their levels?" Yang Chen asked.
"It's okay. The skills of the No. 5 Middle School basketball team are average, but they play pretty dirty. Apart from Xiangbei No. 9 Middle School, they are the only ones who are a bit of a threat. But it's not a big problem." Lin Xiaoran said confidently.
"Since you can handle it, I won't do it." Yang Chen said.
"Okay, just use it as your trump card, and wait until we face Ninth Middle School." Lin Xiaoran nodded and said, "By the way, I just saw Nan Xiangwan chatting with Liu Yubai from Class 2 in the corridor. Liu Yubai seemed to have given her something. I think they seem to be getting very close recently, so be careful."
"I know she is asking Liu Yubai for study materials. Thank you, I will pay attention." Yang Chen said.
"As long as you know." Lin Xiaoran nodded.
the next day.
The basketball game between Xiangli Middle School and Xiangbei No. 5 Middle School began. Lin Xiaoran led the team to win the game without any danger.
However, there was an episode during the game.
Teacher Wang accidentally hit his head because of the pushing of students. He took two days off for this, which made the students worried for a while.
Two days later, Teacher Wang came back to class and brought good news.
"good news?"
"What good news?"
"You're not going to take another exam, are you?"
"Don't do it!"
The classmates were talking quietly.
"Come in." Teacher Wang said to the door.
Then, under the gaze of the classmates, a figure walked into the classroom.
"this is not……"
"Zeng Jianfei!"
"Zeng Jianfei is back."
"Very good!"
There was a burst of cheers and the students applauded.
"Come on, introduce yourself." Teacher Wang smiled.
"I... don't need to introduce you. Actually, I'm not here for class, I'm here to say goodbye to everyone." Zeng Jianfei said awkwardly.
"Goodbye?"
"Why say goodbye?"
"Goodbye to what?"
"Zeng Jianfei, what are you saying goodbye to?" Jiang Daling asked loudly.
Even Teacher Wang was surprised. Apparently he didn't know Zeng Jianfei had such a plan.
"Teacher, let me talk to him!" Lin Xiaoran stood up and said.
"Yes." Teacher Wang nodded slightly.
"Follow me." Lin Xiaoran walked up to Zeng Jianfei, patted him on the shoulder, and then walked out of the classroom.
"Teacher, I want to go too." Jiang Daling said and followed him without waiting for the teacher's consent.
"Teacher, I am Zeng Jianfei's friend. I will help persuade him." Zhang Chao and Li Shuai also followed.
In the corridor.
Several people tried to persuade Zeng Jianfei, but they could not persuade Zeng Jianfei to change his mind.
In the end, Zeng Jianfei decided to drop out of school and go out to work.
…
In order to increase the registration rate of Xiangli Middle School, the school plans to shoot a promotional video that requires students to appear.
After comparison, the school chose Liu Yubai and Chen Shiyun as student representatives to shout out the school motto.
After the promotional video was shot and posted online, it immediately aroused a heated discussion.
Chen Shiyun suddenly became the focus of the school, and she could be heard talking about her everywhere.
"Have you seen the school's promotional video?"
"Yes, I watched it on TV."
"Chen Shiyun is so beautiful, she deserves to be the school beauty."
"Chen Shiyun and Liu Yubai, they are a perfect match."
Yang Chen also took a look and found that the results were indeed good.
The Internet is a free place. If someone praises it, others will criticize it.
Within two days, dirt about Chen Shiyun appeared on the Internet.
Someone posted ugly photos of Chen Shiyun when she was a child on the forum, which attracted a lot of attention.
"Is she Chen Shiyun?"
"Yes, I heard that she and Lin Xiaoran grew up together."
"Have you seen the posts on the Internet? She got really fat when she was little."
"Really? Then how did she become like this?"
"How would I know."
Rumors and gossip are the fastest spreading things. Nowadays, Chen Shiyun will be pointed out no matter where she goes in school, which makes her even more sensitive.
People have different personalities. Some people are extroverted, confident and eager to be the center of attention; while some people are introverted, have low self-esteem and are sensitive, and just want to hide in the corner and not be noticed by everyone.
Chen Shiyun is the latter, and what happened in her childhood is exactly the reason why she is now introverted and has low self-esteem.
"Do you know about Chen Shiyun?" After class, Lin Xiaoran pulled up a chair and sat next to Yang Chen and said to him.
"I know." Yang Chen nodded lightly.
"Do you have a way to find out the person who posted the photo?" Lin Xiaoran asked again. "I asked someone to check the IP address of that post, and the results were all fake IPs and couldn't be found at all."
"What are you doing so hard for? The popularity on the Internet is temporary and will naturally subside after a while." Yang Chen said.
"No, I promised Chen Shiyun that I must catch the mastermind behind this and let the heat dissipate as soon as possible. I know you will definitely find a way, so just think that I owe you a favor." Lin Xiaoran said.
"It's not difficult to find the person who posted the message. Just find a way to fish him out." Yang Chen said.
"Catch it out?" Lin Xiaoran was a little confused.
"Yes." Yang Chen nodded.
At noon, Yang Chen and Lin Xiaoran went to an Internet cafe near the school and posted a comment on the breaking news post - "The poster is right. Chen Shiyun and I were classmates in elementary school. I still have many photos of her in my hand."
"Is this enough?" After Yang Chen finished the operation, Lin Xiaoran asked impatiently, looking very concerned.
"It should be no problem. Let's wait for him to send us a message." Yang Chen said.
About half an hour later, they finally received a message from the poster - "Are you Chen Shiyun's classmate?"
"Look, look, he has sent a message!" Lin Xiaoran was very excited, "What should we do now?"
"Don't worry, where did Chen Shiyun go to elementary school and who was her elementary school teacher?" Yang Chen asked calmly.
"Our primary school is Shanan Road Experimental Primary School, and the class teacher is Teacher Li Yinghong." Lin Xiaoran and Chen Shiyun grew up together and know her situation well.
Yang Chen nodded, and then replied to the poster - "Yes, Chen Shiyun studied at Shanan Road Experimental Primary School, and the class teacher is Li Yinghong. I have also been to their home and took photos with her."
"Can you send me her photo?"----The original poster.
"Why do you want her photo?"----Yang Chen.
"Post a post."----The original poster.
"No, I took many photos with Chen Shiyun. If she finds out, I will be embarrassed to say hello to her in the future." ---- Yang Chen.
"It's okay, I just want a photo of her alone, and I won't ask for it in vain. How about ten yuan for a photo?" ----The original poster.
"Ten yuan is too little, at least twenty yuan is needed!" ---- Yang Chen.
"Twenty is a bit too much, fifteen yuan at most."----The original poster.
"Fifteen is fine, how can we trade?"----Yang Chen.
"Are you also in Xiangbei City? Let's make an appointment. You give me the photo and I will pay you directly." ----The host.
"Okay. I have the photo now. Where can we meet?" ---- Yang Chen.
"At six-thirty in the afternoon, let's meet at the KFC in front of Xiangshi No. 5 Middle School." ----The original poster.
"OK, see you there or not."----Yang Chen.
After closing the web page, Yang Chen said to Lin Xiaoran: "It's done, I'll leave the rest to you."
"No problem, I definitely can't spare that guy." Lin Xiaoran gritted his teeth.
"Don't be impulsive. Your main purpose is to get him to delete the post. If you can, try not to do anything." Yang Chen said.
"Don't worry, I know what's going on." Lin Xiaoran said.
…
the next day.
After the morning self-study, Lin Xiaoran and Zhang Chao came to the classroom.
"How's it going? Is the matter settled?" Yang Chen asked.
"It must be necessary. The kid from No. 5 Middle School didn't want to delete it at first, but I went up and gave him a beating. The kid immediately became honest and did whatever he was asked to do." Zhang Chao had a stern expression on his face.
"Well, the post was deleted and he also apologized to Chen Shiyun." Lin Xiaoran said. "By the way, Chen Shiyun asked me to say thank you and also said that I would treat you to dinner."
"It's such a small thing, just don't worry about eating." Yang Chen said with a smile.
"For us, this is not a trivial matter. Let's go to the school gate for lunch and have something to eat. You must reward us." Lin Xiaoran said.
"Okay." Yang Chen nodded.
noon.
Yang Chen, Lin Xiaoran and Chen Shiyun met at the restaurant in front of the school and ordered a few dishes.
"Classmate Yang Chen, I heard Lin Xiaoran say that it was you who found that person, thank you." Chen Shiyun picked up a glass of drink and said softly.
"You're welcome, Lin Xiaoran has already thanked you." Yang Chen picked up the drink and touched her lightly, then smiled and said: "Come on, do it, you're welcome."
"Um."
Chen Shiyun nodded lightly, not daring to look directly into other people's eyes when speaking. She lowered her head and ate in small bites. It could be seen that she felt a little inferior in her heart.
"Classmate Chen Shiyun, since you invited me to dinner, let me tell you my opinion. It doesn't matter whether you delete the post or not. What matters is your own mentality... I think there may be something wrong with your mentality." Yang Chen thought for a moment and said to her.
"Huh?" Chen Shiyun raised her head and looked at him doubtfully.
"Although the online posts have been deleted, most of the people who should have seen them have already seen them. Maybe some people have downloaded them privately. You can't delete all the photos and memories in their hands, right?"
"As the saying goes, to untie a bell, you must tie the bell. If you want to untie this knot, you must start from yourself and try to change your mentality."
"You can regard this incident as an opportunity given to you by God and face it bravely, so that you can cross this hurdle."
"When you step over it, you will find that this matter is actually nothing at all." Yang Chen said.
Hearing Yang Chen's words, Chen Shiyun couldn't help biting her lip, looking a little hesitant.
"Chen Shiyun, I think what Yang Chen said makes sense." Lin Xiaoran said.
"Then what should I do?" Chen Shiyun was silent for a moment and then asked.
Lin Xiaoran looked at Yang Chen, he didn't know what to do about this kind of thing.
"I think you can learn from the stars on TV and talk about such things in a joking or self-deprecating way, fighting fire with fire. Mr. Lu Xun once said that as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed," Yang Chen said.
"Does this... really work?" Chen Shiyun was a little unsure.
"Of course it works. If you don't believe me, let's give it a try." Yang Chen glanced around, then pointed at the two girls who were eating at a table in the corner, and whispered: "Those two people seem to be looking at your photos. In a moment you can Go over and say hi to them and talk to them about the photos in a joking way.”
"I...what should I say?" Chen Shiyun said tremblingly.
"It's very simple. Just go over and ask them if they are looking at your photo, and then talk to them about the situation when the photo was taken. Just treat it as someone else's photo and just talk casually." Yang Chen said.
"Is it really possible?" Chen Shiyun said nervously.
"Absolutely! Go, Pikachu!" Yang Chen encouraged.
"Then...I'm going." Chen Shiyun slowly stood up.
"Come on!" Yang Chen said.
"Um."
Chen Shiyun took a deep breath, walked over to the two girls, greeted them, and said, "Are you looking at my photos?"
"ah?"
"No, no."
When the two girls saw that the person they were discussing suddenly appeared in front of them, they looked very embarrassed and quickly put their phones away.
"It's okay, just take a look. Let me see, which one are you looking at?" Chen Shiyun picked up their mobile phones, took a look at them, and said, "Hey, this is a photo taken when I was six years old. I just When I was in elementary school, I was already almost 70 pounds, very fat..."
"Six years old?"
"Really?"
"Of course it's true. When I was young, my mother thought girls should be rounder, just like feeding pigs. She let me eat everything, and as a result, I became fat like this."
"Then how did you lose weight?"
"Take medicine. After I entered junior high school, I was really too fat, so I asked my mother to take me to see a doctor. I took a lot of medicine to lose weight."
"Does taking medicine help?"
"What medicine did you take?"
"It's just all kinds of hormones, a lot of them."
"I also want to lose weight, what medicine should I take?"
"Don't take medicine casually. It's best to listen to the doctor's advice. Besides, you're not fat either..."
Chen Shiyun and the two girls started chatting quietly.
After a while, she came back.
"How do you feel?" Yang Chen asked.
"Very good." A refreshing smile appeared on Chen Shiyun's face. It seemed that the big stone weighing on her heart had been lifted, and she became much more confident when she spoke.
"Congratulations, you have opened your heart!"
"Thanks."
