CH 62.1

Another two weeks passed by.

The beginning of April in N City was the best time of the year.

The uniformly planted weeping willows by the Shuangcheng River have grown young green leaves. Around each of the willow trees were golden dazzling winter jasmine in full bloom on the lower branches.

The fierce red rose in the small school garden was even more attractive.

Spring was completely different from winter. Whether it was rainy or windy, it had a gentle and soft feeling.

Today there was continuous light rain. The spring breeze was slightly cold. Zhang Man and Chen Feier went into the building after eating together. They closed the transparent umbrellas, and gently shook off the droplets of water on the umbrellas.

Zhang Man went up to the second floor and saw several students walking out of the small black room with their arms around each other’s shoulders. They were winking at each other and making up jokes. When they saw her coming, each of them said hello to her.

Zhang Man waved and returned a greeting with a smile to them.

After nearly two months of being in the same competition team, the relationship between the eleven students was getting better and better.

People who participated in competitions were generally simple people. They threw all their efforts into the competition and did not think much of anything else.

""

Everyone was in the most zealous and struggling moment of their lives. When they met a group of people with the same goals and aspirations as them, it could always arouse their deepest passions and dreams.

They would play jokes on each other, stay up late to answer questions together, and talk enthusiastically about the universe, black holes, space-time, and stars. They would also diss Lin Pingzheng together.

In a small group that was about the size of 11 people, each person’s personality was very different, but they all got along very well. The Three Foolish Men of the physics team were responsible for making jokes and acting like the class clown every day. Jin Ming sat in the back of the classroom and was responsible for watching over everyone as they chatted and played around. Although Qi Lele was quiet, she would smile with her eyes happily and reveal two dimples when everyone was joking…

Everyone in this small group had a special sense of existence, and it was easy to form a deep friendship.

Zhang Man occasionally saw some of the boys ask Li Wei some questions. Although he usually looked indifferent and did not participate in their playfulness, he would always give detailed answers no matter who asked questions.

It was to the point where sometimes, when Lin Pingzheng was asking a student to answer a question during class, he would help with a few words.

Zhang Man suddenly felt very glad.

In his previous life, Li Wei was always excluded by his classmates. He was always alone in school. He was cold and indifferent.

Zhang Man was the same, too. She did not like to be loud, and she changed schools in the second year of high school. She did not have any contact with anyone else in N City except her best friend, Chen Feier. After going to H City, after all, she was a transfer student. She could not get used to her environment and did not feel like she belonged.

So, she and Li Wei had never really felt this kind of feeling where they were a part of a group.

To be honest, Zhang Man sometimes looked at them and felt a little guilty.

Even though a lot of the students were ridiculed by Lin Pingzheng every day, Zhang Man could see that all of them, except for her, were all quite intelligent.

Even Qi Lele and Cao Zhixue, who did relatively poorer than the others, had better response speeds, comprehension and even knowledge retention than her.

Even if they were not geniuses, in physics, everyone had their unique talents.

Zhang Man was very aware of this. If she did not have her knowledge from teaching high school for more than ten years in her previous life, she would not have learned as much as them.

Unfortunately, their talents were severely suppressed by Lin Pingzheng’s unscientific teaching methods.

A competition test was conducted two days ago. Of the eleven people, only Chen Jun and Jin Ming passed in addition to Zhang Man and Li Wei.

Of course, Lin Pingzheng certainly did not think that his teaching skills were the problem. After seeing the test results, he first gave them an insulting speech.

Zhang Man sometimes thought that he did not seem to care about being a coach and if they were learning things properly.

It seemed like the worse they were, the more ways he could feel an overwhelming sense of superiority over them.

…

The atmosphere in the classroom was becoming more and more enjoyable, but some people were not very happy.

For example… Li Wei.

Since Zhang Man took the initiative to kiss him that day and was discovered by Deng Nian, she never got too close to him again in the small black classroom.

She used to make some intimate gestures at him when the others were not paying attention.

Such as when she passed by him, she would secretly touch his face with the back of her hand, or when she sometimes touched his hand when she passed out homework for the teacher.

She even kissed his cheek when there was no one around.

These kinds of intimate interactions that only they knew always made him feel like his life was full of sweetness when he was depressed.

However, these small actions had now completely disappeared.

She was just like a model student now. She kept a certain distance from him all the time, no matter if someone was around. Even if he occasionally tried to touch her head, she would blush and dodge.

Furthermore, she was always smiling at the other boys in the competition class recently. It might be because everyone was more familiar with each other.

Her smile was so sweet and beautiful.

The youth bit his pen cap and frowned slightly.

This damn small black room.
