One morning in September.The weather is clear and fresh, the sun is slanting on the street, there are still dewdrops on the branches of the roadside, the breeze is soft and cool, the sky is clear and transparent, it is a very beautiful morning. On Xinsheng South Road, Jiang Yanrong was walking alone.She is a slender girl, wearing the school uniform of XX Girls High School; white shirt, black skirt, white shoes, and white socks.Carrying a schoolbag that seemed too big for her.Qi Er's short hair was combed back neatly, exposing her small face completely.Two clear eyebrows, a pair of dreamy eyes, a pitifully thin bridge of a small nose, and tightly closed thin lips, showing a bit of precocious melancholy.From her appearance, she seems to be only fifteen or sixteen years old, but the student number embroidered on her uniform shows that she is already a third-year student in high school.She walked unhurriedly, obviously not in a hurry.Her pale and thin arms exposed under the short-sleeved white shirt looked pitiful.But her pair of eyes are hazy and lovely, thoughtfully, softly passing over everything on the roadside.She was contemplating something, walking slowly and absent-mindedly.Evidently, she was immersed in a world of her own, a world unknown to outsiders.A bus sped past her, and a male student on a bicycle whistled sharply in her ear, but she didn't notice it, she was only intoxicated in her own thoughts, as if the world had nothing to do with her.

At the bottom of Xinsheng South Road, she turned right, walked across the bridge over the gutter, and walked past the gate of the Technical College.The street became lively, there were some two-story houses on both sides, some naked children were chasing and running on the street, and most of the shops had opened their doors.Jiang Yanrong was still walking slowly, raised her head, looked at the windows of those buildings, and smiled quietly to herself. "Where there is a house, there are windows," she thought with a smile: "Where there are windows, there are people. People live inside the windows, but the world outside the windows is more beautiful than inside the windows." She looked up at the sky, and a vivid flash of light flashed in her eyes. brilliance.Pulling the strap of her schoolbag, she walked forward lazily, with that quiet smile on her face all the time.Passing by the door of a bicycle repair shop, she saw a classmate in the same class pumping up the bike, and the classmate greeted her: "Hi! Jiang Yanrong, it's so early!"

Jiang Yanrong smiled and said: "You are also very early." The classmate finished breathing, supported the car, smiled mysteriously at Jiang Yanrong, and said as if reporting big news: "I have good news for you, I went to school yesterday to play I know that the tutor of our class this semester has decided to be Kang Nan!" "Really?" Jiang Yanrong asked indifferently, she didn't think the news was any big deal at all.The classmate nodded triumphantly, stepped into the car and left first.Jiang Yanrong continued on her way, secretly wondering how these students cared so much about their tutors and books!She is tired of all this.What did it matter to her who was her tutor?Putting the question aside, she returned to her interrupted meditation.She was thinking deeply, frowning slightly, until a voice shouted from behind her: "Hi! Jiang Yanrong!" She stopped, and when she turned around, a tall, broad-shouldered female classmate was walking towards her, with a smile on her face. smiling happily.

"I thought no one would arrive at school earlier than me," the classmate said with a smile, "but you are earlier than me!" "Which way did you come from? Zhou Yaan? You?" Jiang Yanrong asked, with a surprised expression on his face. "I came here by bus, why don't you take the bus?" Zhou Ya'an stepped up and took Jiang Yanrong's arm. She was almost half a head taller than Jiang Yanrong, and her dark skin was in stark contrast to Jiang Yanrong's whiteness. "Anyway, it's early, what are you doing by car? Take a walk slowly. Walk around, think about it, isn't it beautiful to breathe some fresh air?" Jiang Yanrong said, leaning closer to Zhou Ya'an, and smiled: "Don't think we can get there It's early, there are others who arrived earlier than us!"

"Who?" Zhou Ya'an asked, she was a "handsome" girl with two thick and straight eyebrows and a pair of serious eyes.The lips are full, like the mouth of the movie star Amberance. "He Qi," Jiang Yanrong shrugged, "I met her just now, and she told me the big news that Kang Nan has become our mentor. Seeing the way she spoke, I thought World War III was about to break out. !" She patted Zhou Ya'an's hand: "What happened to you yesterday? I waited for you at home all afternoon, and I agreed to come but I didn't come. Did you go on a date with Xiao Xu again?"

"Don't mention him!" Zhou Ya'an said, turned a corner, and walked towards the school gate with Jiang Yanrong.This middle school stands on the edge of downtown Taipei. Three years ago, it could only be regarded as a suburb, and there were paddy fields nearby.However, now, high-rise buildings have been built one after another, and shops and restaurants have opened one after another.Built at the same time as these high-rise buildings, there are also many messy wooden houses with some messy signboards, many of which are exclusively for student businesses, such as stationery stores, bicycle stores, cold drink shops... These make the road look untidy and illegal. Building more than legal houses.But, in any case, this street that leads directly to the center of Taipei is quite prosperous now.There are bus stops here for five different routes, and they bring young girls from all corners of Taipei to this school every morning, and send them back home from school at dusk.

At the school gate, the name of "Women's Middle School" is carved on the concrete pillar.The school building occupies a large area, and a large three-story building is the main body of the school.A small forest and a lotus pond in the forest are the essence of the campus. The pond is filled with camellias, roses, chrysanthemums, and rhododendrons that bloom brilliantly in spring.There is a very beautiful vermilion small wooden bridge on the pool.In addition to the three-story building, there are two separate houses, one is the library and the other is the dormitory for single teachers.Among these houses is a vast playground.

Jiang Yanrong and Zhou Ya'an walked into the school gate. To their surprise, there were already scattered female students in twos and threes on the campus.Jiang Yanrong looked at Zhou Ya'an and smiled.Zhou Ya'an said: "I didn't expect that everyone came so early!" "Because this is the first day of school," Jiang Yanrong said. "Everyone is tired of the long summer vacation, and hope that school will start again. People are contradictory animals. After three days, it's time to look forward to the holiday again!" "Your philosophy Thoughts are coming out again!" Zhou Ya'an said.

"Go upstairs!" Jiang Yanrong said: "I want to see if Cheng Xinwen is here? I haven't seen her for a long time!" They ran up to the third floor hand in hand. On this first day of school, there are students everywhere on the campus, on the playground, in the library, and in the corridors of the building.These girls from the age of twelve to twenty seem to have a lot to say. They haven't seen each other for a summer vacation, and now they are together again. No matter which corner of the school, you can hear the noise and laughter.No matter where you go, you can see young, bright, and smiling faces.The Academic Affairs Office has become the busiest place. Students come to pick up class schedules in an endless stream, asking when some textbooks that have not been distributed will arrive, and teachers who are dissatisfied with the scheduling of courses ask for a change of course... The fat Dean of Academic Affairs, Mr. Xu, looks like Running around like a revolving lantern, the sweat on his forehead has never dried.The training office is much better. The training director, Ms. Huang, was new last year. She is a female teacher with a fair face and sharp eyes.She was discussing with Instructor Li about the issues to be reported at the opening ceremony.In the principal's office, Principal Zhang sat in a chair and waited for the opening ceremony. She was a successful female principal, with her hair neatly combed in a bun, correct facial features, and a straight nose. She looked refreshing and capable.The third floor of the building is the classrooms for the second and third grades.Now, the corridors are full of students talking in twos and threes.Classes are arranged according to the eight characters of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, love, faith, righteousness, peace, and peace.At the gate of the third grade filial piety class, Jiang Yanrong was sitting on the window sill in the corridor, with her hands on her knees, smiling quietly.Zhou Ya'an sat beside her, talking eagerly about a problem.The two of them are interesting together, one is black and the other is white, Zhou Ya'an is like a Golem girl in twentieth-century comics, but Jiang Yanrong is like an ancient girl in ancient Chinese paintings leaning on a plantain and supporting her maid.After Zhou Ya'an finished speaking, Jiang Yanrong frowned and said:

"Kangnan? What's so great about Kangnan! This morning, I heard everyone talking about Kangnan! As long as the earthquake is not the mentor, I don't care who is our mentor, whether it is Kangnan, Zhang Ziming, Jiang Nai It’s okay, isn’t it all the same? I don’t believe how much the mentor can help us!” Earthquake is the nickname of one of their teachers. "You don't know," Zhou Ya'an said, "I heard that the instructor of our class was originally Zhang Ziming, and the loyal class was Kang Nan. Later, the Discipline Office said that the students in our class were naughty and difficult to control, so the Academic Affairs Office changed Kang Nan to Our class came and transferred Zhang Ziming to the Zhong class as a tutor. Now the students in the Zhong class are making a fuss, and they want to write to the Academic Affairs Office, requesting that Kang Nan be transferred. I don’t understand, and I have never attended Kang Nan’s class. I know What is he like, if everyone keeps robbing him, maybe there will be a second earthquake, and that will be miserable!" After she finished speaking, she looked at Jiang Yanrong and kept smiling, and then said:

"But it doesn't matter, Jiang Yanrong, if it's the second earthquake, you can come up with another poem to trouble him. The earthquake last semester really made you miserable!" "Forget it, Ye Xiaozhen was the one who made trouble with him. He drew candles on the blackboard and wrote "Earthquake Remembrance", which made him turn blue with anger. I still remember his dumbfounding look!" Jiang Yanrong said with a smile. "Hi!" Another female student ran out of the classroom and yelled, "Jiang Yanrong, please come from the Discipline Office!" You want to trouble me," she looked at Zhou Ya'an and said, "Zhou Ya'an, you can go with me, since I changed the dean of students, it is unlucky for me..." "Haha," the classmate who just came out laughed loudly, "Jiang Yanrong, I'm just kidding you." "Okay, Cheng Xinwen, be careful, I'll be the first to report you for being disheveled when I meet the old instructor " Jiang Yanrong said to the classmate who had just come out, while jumping to sit on the window sill, leaning her body on Zhou Ya'an's shoulder. Cheng Xinwen was also leaning on the window sill, blinking her big flexible eyes with a clever and mischievous expression. "Why am I out of shape?" she asked. "You don't have your student number embroidered on your shirt." "Is this?" Cheng Xinwen glanced at her shirt nonchalantly: "Just draw it with blue ink later, and the old instructor won't crawl on me to see if it's embroidered or written." "Don't bully me." The old instructor is short-sighted," Zhou Ya'an said, "the little instructor will not let you go!" "It doesn't matter the little instructor," Cheng Xinwen said, "she and I have the best relationship, if she troubles me, I will Tell her that I saw her watching a movie with a man yesterday, and keep her scared to go back!" "Does the little instructor really have a boyfriend?" Zhou Ya'an asked. "I heard that she is about to get engaged." Cheng Xinwen said, "The little instructor is really pretty, and that military uniform can't affect her at all, unlike the old instructor, who has protruding lines all over her body, with a piece of flesh here and there, so fat..." "Hey, can you describe it more elegantly?" Jiang Yanrong said. "Elegance? I don't know what is elegance? Only you, Jiang Yanrong, can understand elegance. Poems, words, moon, stars, flowers, birds, mountains, water..." "Okay , Okay, are you done yet?" Jiang Yanrong said with a frown. "However, go ahead. I met Kang Nan as a tutor this semester. He is also a sour and elegant person. He will definitely appreciate you! Hey, do you know that the earthquake was fired, and the training office said that Jiang Yanrong kicked him out Let's go!" "It's none of my business. I just pointed out a few words he mispronounced. Who made him scold me from embarrassment!" Jiang Yanrong said aggrievedly. "Everyone says Kangnan is good, what's the best way for Kangnan?" Zhou Ya'an asked. "Last year, all the students in his class were admitted to the university, so he became very famous," Cheng Xinwen said, "However, he is really good at teaching. This time, there was a lot of trouble over the issue of the tutor. Zhang Ziming was very angry. Old man Cao was also angry, because the benevolence class did not want old man Cao to be a tutor, saying why Kangnan should teach the filial class, they should be old man Cao. Old man Cao was so angry that he knocked on the floor with his cane, saying that he was such a big man back then , Commanded the army, fought in wars, and served as a military advisor, now come to be angry with the girl!" Cheng Xinwen gestured while talking, and Jiang Yanrong slapped her with a smile. "Don't be imitative, look at your skirt is covered in dust!" "Is this?" Cheng Xinwen looked at the skirt and said, "I just wiped the table! The table is full of dust, so I have to use a skirt, anyway, it's a black skirt, so it's okay!" She cried out as if suddenly remembering something important. Get up: "Oh, I almost forgot. I came to ask you to accompany me to No. 2. I forgot to eat breakfast this morning. There was a symphony playing in my stomach. I must eat something! Go! Jiang Yanrong!" In school, I don’t know Since when did the students use "No. 1" to replace the toilet, and "No. 2" to replace the welfare agency. After class, the two busiest places in the school are No. 1 and No. 2.As Cheng Xinwen spoke, she couldn't wait to give Jiang Yanrong a hand. "I'm not going, and I don't want to eat!" Jiang Yanrong said lazily, still sitting on the window sill. "Are you going?" Cheng Xinwen dragged Jiang Yanrong down: "If Zhou Ya'an wanted you to accompany me, you would go!" "Okay, don't hold back, I'm afraid of you!" Jiang Yanrong straightened her clothes and asked Zhou Ya'an, "Do you want to go together?" "No, you guys go!" Zhou Ya'an said. Cheng Xinwen dragged Jiang Yanrong to the stairs. The welfare agency was downstairs. The two of them went down three floors. A classmate came up to meet him. While walking, he was reading an English grammar book. He was wearing a pair of short-sighted glasses. It was as long as a bamboo pole, and he walked up the stairs without looking sideways.Cheng Xinwen waited for her to approach, and suddenly yelled "Wow!" beside her, the classmate jumped up in fright, almost fell down the stairs, she glanced at Cheng Xinwen, and complained: "It's you again, specializing in scaring people!" "Li Yan, I advise you not to work so hard. If you continue like this, your glasses will no longer work! When you graduate next year, you will probably be almost blind!" Cheng Xinwen said in a compassionate tone. "Let's go, Cheng Xinwen, whoever talks like that!" Jiang Yanrong and Cheng Xinwen went downstairs, Li Yan turned her eyes back to the book again, and continued to walk upstairs without squinting. "I'm really surprised, how Li Yan and the others can work so hard. If I go up the stairs with a book, I will definitely roll downstairs and forget all the new words I knew!" Cheng Xinwen said, and added: " I see, next year I will definitely not be able to enter university!" "You must pass the exam, because you're smart enough. I'm the one who caused the problem. I really don't know what to do with that damn math!" Jiang Yanrong said, frowning, and her eyes became melancholy and deep. "And I absolutely can't pass the college entrance examination. My mother has repeatedly said that our Jiang family can't have a daughter who can't pass the college entrance examination. My younger brother and the others are good at their studies. It's me who is the worst. I make up the exam every year. Mom already thinks it's embarrassing. , if I don’t get into college, I have no choice but to go underground.” "Forget it, Jiang Yanrong, don't talk about taking the college entrance exam. I get a headache when I hear it. The exam is only a year away. Fuck him! I want to eat a hot dog now, what do you want?" The welfare agency was full of people, Cheng Xinwen rushed to the front of the counter, bought two hot dogs, and ate them standing in the corridor outside the welfare agency with Jiang Yanrong.Jiang Yanrong only tore half of it, and gave the other half to Cheng Xinwen.While Cheng Xinwen ate, she tilted her head and glanced at Jiang Yanrong, saying: "You're worrying again. You really don't know how to be happy. I'm afraid of your sad face. You are the cutest person in the world when you are happy, but you are the most annoying person when you are sad." .Tell you, imitate my appearance, if there is a big thing, put it until tomorrow. I admire Scarlett Scarlett's words in the wind: "I'll think about it tomorrow. Anyway, tomorrow is another day." You don't know anything. Okay, it's just this worrying person who has a bad temper!" Jiang Yanrong stared at a hibiscus flower on campus in a daze, she didn't listen to Cheng Xinwen's words at all, she was still thinking about the university entrance exam.A pair of big black butterflies flew over, flying up and down around the hibiscus flower, chasing each other, Jiang Yanrong stared blankly, and forgot to eat the hot dog.After a while, the pair of colorful butterflies flew out of the wall, leaving the garden full of dazzling sunshine and fragrance of flowers. "I would love the world if I didn't have such heavy homework to weigh me down," she thought, "but now there are too many worries." The class number rang "Woo--", Jiang Yanrong put the remaining hot dog into his mouth and said, "Come on, let's go to the auditorium, the opening ceremony has begun." Cheng Xinwen shoved mouthfuls of hot dogs into her mouth, and followed Jiang Yanrong to the auditorium.At the entrance of the auditorium, Instructor Li, who is called the old instructor by the students, and Instructor Wei, who is called the junior instructor, are guarding the two doorways, holding pamphlets, and checking whether the students who entered the auditorium one after another have suitable clothes, shoes, socks, and hair. Regulation.Cheng Xinwen was almost at the door, when suddenly she yelled "Wow", she turned her head and ran towards the stairs, Jiang Yanrong yelled, "Where are you going?" She said, but because she yelled too loudly, the old instructor standing at the door of the auditorium could hear her clearly, she yelled loudly: "Cheng Xinwen, stop!" Cheng Xinwen still ran after her, and turned around to make a face at the old instructor Say: "No, I'm going to be number one. I'm in a hurry. Come back later!" After finishing speaking, he ran away without a trace.The old instructor glared at Cheng Xinwen's back, then turned to the junior instructor at the other door and said, "She is the naughtiest in the whole school!" The little instructor also looked at Cheng Xinwen's back, but there was a smile in her eyes and the corners of her mouth. In order to hide this smile, she said to Jiang Yanrong who was walking slowly: "Jiang Yanrong, walk faster, you can't even run!" Jiang Yanrong returned her a gentle and quiet smile, and still walked slowly into the auditorium.The smile was so serene, the little instructor felt unable to take back the smile on her face, she would never be as serious as the old instructor, she liked these girls.In fact, she herself is not much older than these girls, she can easily find herself in them, she may be more mischievous than Cheng Xinwen when she was a student. The opening ceremony, just like the opening ceremony every year, is lengthy, boring, and boring.The principal, the dean of teaching, the dean of students, and the dean of affairs each have an old saying, especially the dean of students. Those words can be recited by every student on her behalf; what should be done in school, what should be done outside school, and neat clothes , We must strive for both physical and mental health... Finally, the opening ceremony was finally over, and the students poured out of the auditorium like a tide.Immediately, there was a commotion of yelling, talking, and laughing.Classmates who are close to each other must walk together, Jiang Yanrong and Zhou Yaan walked together, Zhou Yaan was talking about something, Jiang Yanrong only listened quietly, and the two walked upstairs slowly.At this time, a thin and slender classmate rushed up from behind, patted Jiang Yanrong on the shoulder and said: "Jiang Yanrong, your class is really lucky!" Looking back, Jiang Yanrong saw that it was Wei Ruolan from Renban, and said in surprise: "What kind of luck?" "Don't you know about the Kangnan incident?" Wei Ruolan said, shrugging her nose: "Old man Cao taught our class to be really angry, he only recited his past glorious history, now we The class is making trouble, and the dean of teaching affairs has no idea at all. Last year, in the third year of senior high school, there was a lot of trouble for each class to rob Kang Nan and Jiang Nai, and this year it is again!" "According to me," Jiang Yanrong said, "It's best for the tutor to follow the students. Don't change tutors from the first year of high school to the third year of high school. This will reduce problems and make it easier for teachers and students to understand each other!" "That's not enough!" Zhou Ya'an said, "Do you think that teachers like Kang Nan and Jiang Nai are willing to teach the first year of high school?" "Our school is so bad," Wei Ruolan said: "It seems that teaching the first year of high school is worthless. Everyone is desperately fighting for the third year of high school. It seems that only teaching the third year of high school can be considered truly learned. Don't look at the gentle appearance of those teachers. In fact, Everyone is like an enemy, and the competition is fierce in secret! When Kang Nan first came to our school, the principal asked him to teach the second grade of junior high school for a semester, and then he was transferred to teach the third grade of junior high school. Many teachers in the third grade of high school were very angry. But he taught Indeed, our principal can be regarded as a hero with discerning eyes." "Hi!" Like a gust of wind, Cheng Xinwen rushed up from downstairs: "Jiang Yanrong, you don't wait for me!" She held a freshly steamed bento in her hand. I switched from my left hand to my right hand, and then from my right hand to my left hand, and my mouth was whimpering because it was too hot. "Didn't you bring bento?" She asked, and added: "Today, there is no bento for the day!" "I did," Jiang Yanrong said, "I didn't steam at all." "Oh, I forgot to pick it up, I thought someone was bringing the lunch box," Zhou Ya'an said, "But it's okay, it's only eleven o'clock, and it's too early for dinner, so go get it when you want to eat!" According to the school's regulations, students are not allowed to go home for lunch. It is said that this is a rule to prevent female students from using their time to date male students.However, students who have boyfriends still have boyfriends and are not affected by this regulation.Usually, most of the students bring lunch boxes, which is called bento in Taiwan. In order to prevent students from having cold meals, the school built a large stove in the kitchen to help students steam rice.Usually, the students send the lunch box to the big steamer of their class in the kitchen in the morning, and the student on duty carries it to each class in a basket at noon. "Hmph, I'm the one who saves time and energy the most," Cheng Xinwen said triumphantly, "Bring it earlier, you can eat your food immediately, and you won't have to run up the stairs again later! It's so wonderful! " "Are you hungry again?" Jiang Yanrong raised her eyebrows and looked at her with a smile: "I don't know where the one and a half hot dogs were fed just now!" "It's been fed to the dog's stomach." Zhou Ya'an said with a smile. "Okay, Zhou Ya'an, you've learned to swear, it's Jiang Yanrong who broke you up, let me fix you up!" Cheng Xinwen said, rushing towards Zhou Ya'an, although Zhou Ya'an was big, she was extremely agile , With just a slight flash, Cheng Xinwen was thrown into emptiness, couldn't hold back her feet for a while, and bumped her body against the handrail of the stairs.Don't be wary of the hot bento burning her hands, she yelled "Wow!", and as soon as she let go, the bento fell from the outside of the stair railing all the way down to the third floor.Zhou Ya'an laughed loudly, and Wei Ruolan who was beside him also bent over laughing.Jiang Yanrong smiled, pushed Cheng Xinwen and said: "Let's run up the stairs again. It looks like you can't save your energy. Hurry down and have a look. If the rope that binds the lunch breaks, you won't even be able to feed yourself!" Cheng Xinwen stomped her feet and sighed. After a long breath, he walked downstairs listlessly, then turned around, gave Jiang Yanrong a hard look and said: "Jiang Yanrong, you wait for me, I will settle the score with you later!" "I didn't do it." Jiang Yanrong said. "Anyway, you all have a share!" As she said that, she accelerated her speed and rushed downstairs in two steps at a time. Jiang Yanrong leaned over the banister and shouted: "Slow down, don't even roll down!" Zhou Ya'an laughed again, Cheng Xinwen had run away without a trace.
