Chapter 74

The part of self introduction ended in a happy atmosphere, and the students who used to be very strange and embarrassed soon became familiar with each other.

Zhang Zhengxin stood on the platform and turned to look at the clock on the wall. "The boys in our class will follow me to the textbook section to move the textbook of the first volume of senior high school." He looked at the boy with his head down by the window, "Xu Qichen doesn't have to go."

Xu Qichen did not respond. He still lowered his head and stared at the graffiti left by the last class of students on the table.

Xia Zhixu looked at his back and hesitated to open his mouth, but he was robbed by Chen Fang, who was sitting in the second group! Let's go

"Oh," Xia Zhixu stood up, "OK."

The girl beside him got up and gave him a place. Xia Zhixu said thank you with a smile and went out.

Chen Fang stood at the door waiting for Xia Zhixu. As soon as he came out, he hooked his shoulder. "You've been in the limelight again."

"No, I saw the source of my name, and I mentioned it by the way."

Two people followed the army to the teaching materials section. One moved a large pile of books. Chen Fang laughed and joked, "I see, this time the class grass is contracted by you."

"Don't you come." Xia Zhixu gave him a white look, "I think most of the boys in our class are very handsome." Little tiger teeth showed up unkindly, "except for you, ha ha ha."

Chen Fang's face is not convinced, "then you say, who is handsome?"

Xia Zhixu said a few names casually, and finally added, "and I have a good front seat, too. "

"Xu Qichen." Chen Fang curled his lips, "too white, whiter than most of the girls in our class."

Xia Zhixu immediately retorted, "what's wrong with Bai? Just as black as you? Life as a light bulb. "

"Hey, what's the matter with you, boy! It's not clean up! "

Two people back to the classroom, Xia Zhixu put the book on the desk, turned around and wanted to go back to move, was stopped by the boy behind, "no, the teacher said there is no more."

Xia Zhixu nodded and turned around to see a man looking at Xu Qichen outside the window. The light cut his side face into two sides, and his cold expression hung powerlessly in the middle.

The two of them became friends in the short time of carrying books. They went to the bathroom together. Xia Zhixu clapped her hands and thought that she should go to the bathroom to wash her hands just now.

There were only two of them left in the seat. It was a good opportunity to say hello.

Xia Zhixu sat down in his seat. He wanted to pat him on the shoulder. When he was about to touch him, he took it back and took a look at his hand. Finally, he only touched his back with the back of his hand.

Xu Qichen's body moved, originally looked out of the window to the side of his face, looked behind Xia Zhixu, his expression still did not change, amber pupil to Xia Zhixu's eyes.

"You remember me." Xia Zhixu said with a smile, "on the bus this morning And at the school gate, you ask me for sugar Remember

The expectation in his expression was too obvious.

Xu Qichen nodded.

Little tiger teeth happily revealed, "in fact, I bought that candy for you, but I didn't see you when I came back, so I ate it myself." He laughed a little embarrassed.

"Nothing."

I don't know why, when talking to him, Xia Zhixu is always subconsciously careful, as if this person's face is labeled as fragile.

"That What's the matter with you this morning? Why do you suddenly look so bad? "

Xu Qichen's lips opened, and his voice didn't fluctuate. "I have hereditary hypoglycemia. I'm in a hurry this morning. I didn't eat."

He rarely said so much, Xia Zhixu was a little happy, but soon began to feel distressed.

Hereditary hypoglycemia, it should be very uncomfortable.

"Then how did you..."

"An aunt from a breakfast shop helped me to rest."

"Oh..."

There are doubts in his heart, especially his injury, but Xia Zhixu is afraid that he will step on the other party's minefield and destroy his little connection, so he doesn't continue to ask, just says with a smile, "we are so predestined, let's make friends."

Xu Qichen's eyes twinkled, perhaps hesitating.

Xia Zhixu's smiling face and two corners of his mouth drooped with his hesitation.

A moment later, Xu Qichen suddenly nodded again.

Ding, smiling face recovery, become more brilliant.

[friend]

these two words seem to be the most common and ordinary category in interpersonal communication. There is a subtle sense of distance in intimacy.

If only I had the ability to foretell.

If I knew I would like you.

At the beginning, we would not use the word "friend" to delineate the scope of our relationship and set the bottom line distance.On the first day, there was no course arrangement. After distributing the teaching materials, Zhang Zhengxin, the teacher in charge of the class, organized the class committee election. The atmosphere in the class was warm, except that the boys in the front seat always looked like they were apart from each other, which was out of place with the freshman class.

Idle bored Xia Zhixu has been staring at his back, until his name was called.

"Xia Zhixu, you can be the representative of mathematics class." Zhang Zhengxin looked at the roster and looked up at Xia Zhixu, who was in a daze. "Mathematics is an important subject for you."

"Why?"

All the students in the class laughed. Zhang Zhengxin deliberately put on a severe attitude, "it seems that you just really didn't listen to me. As I have said, the position of class representative is quite special. For the time being, we will arrange it according to the results of senior high school entrance examination. Your math score is the best in the class, so you will be the math class representative. "

Xia Zhixu nodded in embarrassment.

"Let's applaud and encourage Xia Zhixu."

The applause made him even more embarrassed. He stood up and bowed slightly. "Thank you, thank you."

In fact, he doesn't want to be a class representative. This position is just responsible for sending and receiving homework every day and connecting with the teacher. It seems very boring to him, but when he comes to this position, he has to take the job.

"OK, let's take a look at Chinese..." Zhang Zhengxin pushed his glasses. "The highest score of Chinese in our class is Xu Qichen. It's rare that he is a male classmate."

Xia Zhixu subconsciously goes to see the boy in the front seat. He is shaken slightly by his name. He seems to be scared.

Zhang Zhengxin carefully looked at the score at the back of the roster, "Xu Qichen got 112 Chinese tests, a very high score."

The following students began to whisper, for the language with a full score of 120, it is difficult to achieve the score of more than 110. After all, the score of subjective questions in Chinese is uncontrollable. Only when the objective questions are all correct and the subjective questions are given extraordinary play, can there be a little hope of 110.

Zhang Zhengxin had no airs at all. He looked at him with his eyes. "Classmate Xu Qichen, you will be my right arm in the future."

Xu Qichen didn't respond to the teacher's words like Xia Zhixu. He was silent, and the atmosphere became a little embarrassed.

At this time, the quiet classroom suddenly appeared a few lonely applause.

All eyes look at Xia Zhixu who clapped.

Xia Zhixu shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "shouldn't we applaud the representatives of Chinese class?"

His voice has a natural appeal, originally thought Xu Qichen some strange students also follow Xia Zhi Xu drum up.

When the applause gradually reduced and disappeared, Xia Zhixu heard a very light voice.

“…… Thank you

Rubs rubs the palm which is red because of the strong applause, Xia Zhixu's corners of the mouth cannot help rising.

It seems too easy to be satisfied.

With two minutes to go, Zhang Zhengxin cleared his throat. "At three o'clock this afternoon, the school will hold the opening ceremony for senior one students in the auditorium, and there will be a military training mobilization meeting tomorrow..."

"Really want military training..."

"No!"

Zhang Zhengxin patted the desk. "I haven't finished yet. Everyone will come to the classroom before two forty-five. After we count the number of people, we will go there together. Remember?"

"Remember -- remember --"

when the bell rings after class, the students in the classroom are all alive and cheering. Zhang Zhengxin shakes his head and shouts to the four groups by the window, "Xia Zhixu, come out with me."

Xia Zhixu stands up for no reason. He has been thinking about going home just now.

In the morning, Xu Qichen and he came by the same bus, so we should be able to go home together.

As soon as he heard the bell, Xia Zhixu, who was about to invite Xu Qichen to go home with him, was stopped by the head teacher, and his thoughts could only be dispelled.

What a pity.

"It's like this." Zhang Zhengxin took him to the corridor outside the classroom, "tomorrow's military training mobilization meeting, there will be a session for freshmen representatives to speak. After the headmaster's mobilization, our class is also one of the representative classes. You are the first in our class entrance examination, and you are more outgoing. I think you are a more suitable candidate."

Xia Zhixu didn't speak. He glanced at Xu Qichen and saw him walk out of the classroom with his head down. A heart immediately turned down the corner of the stairs.

"Then prepare your speech when you go back."

Xia Zhixu looked at Zhang Zhengxin and hesitated, "teacher, I My manuscript is very general. Can I use Baidu? "

Zhang Zhengxin couldn't help laughing, "for such an important occasion, it's better to be original, otherwise in case of bumping into others, how embarrassing."

"Also..." Xia Zhi Xu's heart is absent and nods. He silently counts his steps and estimates that Xu Qichen should have gone down to the second floor by now."If you are really afraid that your manuscript is not good enough, you can ask our Chinese class representative to polish it for you," Zhang Zhengxin patted him on the shoulder. "His composition in the high school entrance examination is full marks."

Xia Zhixu's eyes lit up immediately.

That's a good idea.

"Thank you, teacher! I'll come on Xia Zhixu left the corridor full of vitality and ran downstairs. He saw Chen Fang waiting for him at the corner of the stairs.

"Well, what's the head teacher looking for?"

Xia Zhixu flurried to deal with two, "I won't tell you about the freshmen's speech. I have to catch the bus!" Then he quickly slipped down the stairs.

"Ah! What's the hurry! The bus leaves every ten minutes... "

The sound of the wind swept past his ears, and Xia Zhixu finally ran out of the winding stairs. All of a sudden, his broad vision was full of people wearing the same clothes, which was really a test for him.

Squinting and looking around.

saw the thin figure on the Boulevard full of Indus, and his arm was lifted by white gauze.

Through the crowd, Xia Zhixu ran behind him in a hurry, stopped after two or three steps, and tried to recover his fast breathing until he could disguise himself as a casual encounter.

"Xu Qichen."

The person called didn't look back, as if he was still immersed in his own world.

Xia Zhixu didn't feel discouraged either. He stepped forward, stood beside him and looked at him with his head on his side. "Do you take the bus home at noon?"

Xu Qichen turned his face, looked at him, and then nodded.

"We seem to be on our way. Let's go together."

Add [as if] two words, it seems to be able to hide their deliberate.

Xu Qichen walked very slowly, his leg was not injured, it seems that his habitual pace is very slow. But Xia knew that Xu was not. He was always full of vitality and walked with wind. So at the moment, he glanced at Xu Qichen's legs intentionally or unintentionally and adjusted the frequency of his pace.

In order to look more like a tacit friend.

"Do you live near the bus stop?" Xia Zhixu tries to stir up the topic.

But he soon found that his speech skills needed to be improved. Don't ask questions that can be answered directly with yes or no.

Especially in the face of a silent person.

"Well."

Sure enough. Xia Zhixu sighed slightly, but soon returned to a cheerful smile, "me too. My home is in the community opposite the bus station. We should not be in the same community."

"No

Blunder, blunder.

Xia Zhi Xu looked down at a fallen leaf of Indus leaf.

"My house is on the same side of the bus stop, but I have to turn a corner."

Hearing his gentle tone, Xia Zhixu seemed to be a withered plant that had been watered all of a sudden.

"Yes? That's close, too. " Two people unconsciously walked out of the school gate side by side, the gray bus stop next to the school gate, where there has been a large number of waiting students.

Two people went to the bus station, Xia Zhixu looked at Xu Qichen's injured hand, subconsciously stood in front of his side, helped him block the people in front.

Behind Xu Qichen is the billboard of the bus station, and in front is Xia Zhixu.

The crowded bus stop is divided into a narrow and safe space by his tall body.

"Here comes 729." Xia Zhixu turned his head, "do we get on this one?"

Xu Qichen looked at the carriage, not particularly crowded, "can be."

Xia Zhixu took out his student card from the side of his backpack, rushed to the front, and turned back, "don't worry, don't squeeze your arm."

What a freak. Xu Qichen looked at his tall back and stood silently at the tail of the waiting crowd. One by one, the people in front of him got into the carriage, and Xu Qichen finally got on. The carriage was full, and there were several students standing.

"Xu Qichen, come here!"

Suddenly heard that person's voice, Xu Qichen hesitated to support the seat to go inside, only to find that several people standing in the way of Xia Zhixu.

Xia Zhixu smiles brightly. Seeing Xu Qichen coming over, he immediately gets up from his seat and says, "sit down."

Xu Qichen, who was "given up his seat", looked at Xia Zhi's crooked eyebrows. With the expectation of the other side, he had to sit down.

This is a single orange love seat. Xia Zhixu, who has no seat, stands beside him, holding the back of Xu Qichen's seat with one hand and the front seat with the other, unconsciously encircling him inside.

"Good luck, I found a seat when I came up."

Xu Qichen did not speak. He turned around and looked out of the window silently.

The glass windows, which were not cleaned very well, reflected the indistinct figures, had his own side face, and the warm-hearted students wearing white shirts behind him.On the eve of school, Xia Zhixu specially checked the route to Jingjian high school.

The bus can go directly, and stop at eight stops.

It feels a little far away.

It seems that there is always a deviation between imagination and reality. When hearing the station report, Xia Zhi Xu, who has been standing all the way, is stunned.

So fast?

Home so soon.

Time is such a clever liar.

Xu Qichen stood up from his seat, Xia Zhixu also returned to his senses, and two of them got out of the car one after the other. Walk along the bus stop for a while until you reach the intersection. Xia Zhixu is going to the opposite side of the road, while Xu Qichen is going to turn left and go home.

"It's said that your composition in the senior high school entrance examination is full marks. It's so powerful that I dare not even think about it."

Xia Zhixu's tone is very easy to distinguish the sincerity, Xu Qichen can only modestly reply, "good luck."

"Just now, Mr. Zhang told me to speak on behalf of freshmen, but I don't know how to write. My language ability is very poor. You..." Xia Zhixu said and stopped, "can you help me?"

Xu Qichen also stopped and looked back at Xia Zhixu with an uneasy expression.

He didn't want to help.

Or, he didn't want to connect with anyone.

But when I saw the man in front of me and his black and white pupils, I didn't know why, so I agreed.

"Good." Xu Qichen lowered his eyes, "but my level is limited."

"It doesn't matter! Thank you Xia Zhixu smiles so much that he can't see his teeth. The little tiger teeth on his lips come out again, shaking Xu Qichen's eyes in the sun.

This man is a little too dazzling.

“…… Then I'll go. "

Xia Zhixu finished his meal as soon as he could. Before waiting for his mother to ask his son about the new school, he slipped into his bedroom, opened the curtain, sat at his desk, took out a blank book and began to think about the construction of his speech.

Mother Xia knocked on the door with the cut fruit. There was no sound inside, so she knocked again. Then she heard her son answer and pushed the door open. "What are you doing eating some fruit?"

Xia Zhixu didn't lift his head. "The teacher chose me as the freshman's representative. I will speak at the military training mobilization meeting tomorrow. I'm preparing to write a speech."

"Really?" Summer mother touched Xia Zhixu's head, put the plate on the table, "worthy of my son." Then she took Xia Zhixu's shoulder and said, "no, you used to be a student representative. How could you be so serious this time and write your own manuscript?"

Xia Zhixu pushed his mother, "I'm in high school, but I can't make any progress. OK, Ma, go out quickly."

"Good, good, don't disturb our new representative, tomorrow's star ~"

my mother is right, she has never been so serious.

Xia Zhixu, who is not interested in Chinese, is wasting his time by thinking about the appropriate wording of the scene before writing, using all kinds of wordy and redundant rhetorical devices, and racking his brains to search for a suitable word.

But.

Xia Zhixu frowned and bit the end of the pen.

I don't want to make him feel that his level is very low, and I don't want to be looked down upon by his new friends.

It's an excuse to hide your inner tension.

Just for such a speech, Xia Zhixu didn't sleep at noon. As soon as he put down his pen, he looked up and found that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Sitting in front of the TV to watch Korean drama, Xia's mother saw her little son running out of the bedroom, and knew that he was going to be late again.

"Slow down, don't worry."

Panting, he ran to the bus stop and didn't see what he expected.

I didn't agree to go to school in the afternoon. It's normal that I can't see anyone. With such a long lunch break, how could he be on the same bus as himself?

Xia Zhixu holds the notebook in his hand and looks at the green bus coming. He turns his neck and still doesn't see anyone else. He brushes the card and gets on the bus by himself.

Maybe it's a slow car, or maybe it takes a long time to stop at each station.

Holding the book tightly, Xia Zhixu found that the road from home to school was really far away.

Time is a clever liar.
