Chapter 3 Two, rivers and lakes

Yu Sisi later praised her more than once, saying that Jian Xia's name sounds very nice. When she answered that her name was Chen Jianxia, ​​the beautiful girl who had just teased her that she was an active member of military training smiled even brighter, "This name is really nice! ... Oh, why do I have to be called Yu Sisi?" More than ten years ago, names like Si Si Ting Ting were popular, and parents liked to name their children with these foreign-sounding overlapping characters.However, when the children were sixteen or seventeen years old, they all fell in love with those vague and sad words with unclear meanings. Names like Nana Tingting Lingling were despised after all.Yu Sisi seems to hate her own name, "Si Sisi, it's so cute and boring when you say it."

Jian Xia was taken aback by her straightforwardness, so she could only say, "Yu Sisi...it sounds nice, really." Yu Sisi shrugged, and ignored her dry comfort. "Actually, my dad wanted me to be called Yu Xiang at first, because my mother is from Hunan. Although it is very common, but it sounds nice, and it is better than Yu Sisi. It's my mother who insisted on giving me such a name. , such a middle-aged woman is so vulgar!" It was the first time Jian Xia heard that someone called her mother a middle-aged woman—although she should indeed be a middle-aged woman. "I still like my English name. Although it is very common, it has a special meaning to me. Just call me Rose from now on."

Jian Xia smiled, "If your name is Yu Xiang, then you have to change your English name together, and you can't be called Rose anymore." Yu Sisi didn't understand at all, "Why change?" Because fish-flavored shredded pork.Jian Xia thought about it for a while, then gave a smirk, then quickly shook her head and said, "No, it's not why." Those little jokes that are sure to be cold when you tell them, you dare not tell them in front of the new classmates you just met, otherwise no one will talk to her again. At this time, the boy who had been ignored for a long time suddenly laughed. Jian Xia felt for a moment that the boy must have understood the joke she hadn't said. She raised her head, and the boy was standing against the light. In the sun, she was still dizzy and couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

"Yu Sisi, please stay with her. It looks like nothing is wrong. I'll go back first. Teacher Yu will still be looking for me later." "No problem," Yu Sisi laughed, "Thank you handsome monitor for giving me a chance to be lazy!" The boy's laughter was soft. Jian Xia lowered his eyes, "Thank you, monitor." As soon as the squad leader left the infirmary, Yu Sisi leaned into her ear and whispered, "Ah, you're blushing." Seeing Xia was very surprised, she seriously denied it, "No." Seeing Yu Sisi in front of her, she froze for a moment, and there was a crack in her smiling expression.Maybe it was her serious attitude that made the other party feel very boring.

Jian Xia was a little annoyed.I really am an idiot, I can't even make a joke. Wanting to make amends - she really hoped that the outstanding students in this new class would like her, such as Yu Sisi in front of her. Seeing that Xia was still thinking about her poor social performance, Yu Sisi had already paced to the window sill and looked out with interest. I was fascinated. "By the way, which school did you go to in junior high school?" Seeing that Xia Leng was asked by her unexpectedly, she was a little slow, "I...I am not a student in the provincial capital. I am a student from other places."

She knew that her new classmates were all top students from various junior high schools, and many of them had at least heard of each other. Even if they were not in the same school or the same class in junior high school, they could still chat about topics like "xxx in your class knows me".Especially in the famous High School Attached to Normal University in the provincial capital, in just one day, the students from that school formed a group because of the huge family tree. In order to continue the topic, Jian Xia asked tentatively, "Then you...are you from the High School Attached to Normal University?"

Yu Sisi glanced back at her, shook her head, and answered bluntly, "No. I'm from No. 8 Middle School. You've only heard of the High School Attached to Normal University, right?" Jian Xia looked at her with some cold eyes, thought for a while, and said, "I also know about the Eighth Middle School, which is very famous among us." Yu Sisi's expression seemed to become more enthusiastic again. In fact, Jian Xia had never heard of No.8 Middle School.But she felt she was finally right. "You are a foreign student, so where do you live?" "There is a teacher's dormitory in the family area across the road behind the school, and a few rooms have been vacated for us non-local students. There are not many of us anyway."

"Oh, pretty good." I was speechless for a while.Yu Sisi looked out of the window with great interest, and threw Chen Jianxia, ​​who she called "so cute, so cute" just now, on the bed in a daze.Her hot and cold appearance made Jianxia feel a little panicked, wondering if it was because she was really unpopular, this was the case in junior high school, and also on the first day of high school. Chen Jianxia bowed his head and put on his shoes and got out of bed, and was embarrassed to find that there was a small hole in the big toe of his left sock, although it didn't look obvious.The quality of this pair of white thin cotton socks is mediocre. After a few washes, they started to tear. She originally planned to quickly repair them with needle and thread tonight. Who would have thought of such an unexpected situation?

Her family is not poor, but she behaved like a malnourished poor student in a small county in front of her new classmates for the first time.Seeing Xia Momo tying up her shoelaces, she kept guessing who helped her take off her shoes—she hoped it was the male squad leader, not Yu Sisi, because males are relatively less careful and less willing to gossip . She walked to the window sill and sat next to Yu Sisi.The other party suddenly came to his senses, stood up and shouted, "Why did you get out of bed? No, no, go back and lie down!" Seeing Xia's heart warming, "I'm so bored, I'll stand up to get some air."

In the area facing the window of the infirmary, there are two classes in military training, which happen to be the first class and the second class.Seeing that Xia and Yu Sisi had nothing to say, they sat side by side and watched them practice the decomposing movements of stepping forward. "Did you see that boy in class two shouting slogans?" Jian Xia hurriedly followed Yu Sisi's guidance to look over.There was a tall boy standing straight facing the window, directing his classmates to look to the right. "I see, why?" "That's the first place in the district simulation of the High School Affiliated to Normal University, Lin Yang. I went to the same language cram school as him in junior high school. The class was taught by the city's teaching and research staff. There were separate classes for mathematics and physics and chemistry. One class was 80. But Lin Yang seems to only take Chinese classes. It is a large classroom with 300 people, and every time even the aisle is full of people, many people want to get into that class but can’t get in.”

Seeing Xia listening carefully to Yu Sisi mentioning these irrelevant things, she found it very novel.That kind of scene must have a real feeling of "thousands of troops crossing the single-plank bridge". The make-up class that "you can't get in even if you want to" sounds aristocratic no matter how you hear it. After seeing Xia many years later, thinking of these small thoughts of his own, he was so ashamed that he wanted to dig into the cracks in the ground. A remedial class full of "nobility". She must have taken the wrong medicine. However, she didn't understand why Yu Sisi asked her to see Lin Yang on purpose. "When I came to the school to report to collect the teaching materials two days ago, I found that many people in the cram school had passed the Zhenhua exam. It was amazing. I may not know everyone, but now they all look familiar. The high school entrance examination is over. After that, all of us learned a little mathematics, physics and chemistry in the same cram school together in advance." This summer vacation? Seeing Xia bowed her head, she felt uneasy.She has already started ahead of time, and her foundation is better than hers, how can I compare with her?God knows that she was praised by relatives and friends this summer vacation, and was invited to "teach learning experience" to their children. She patronized her self-satisfaction and did not make any preparations for the highly competitive high school life. She looked at Lin Yang's back anxiously, and sighed softly. "However," Yu Sisi's tone became very brisk, and there was a smile of unknown meaning on the corner of her mouth, "The High School Attached to Normal University has been showing off in the make-up classes, as if the top scorer in the high school entrance examination is already in their pocket. The result , Lin Yang only took fourth place in the city's high school entrance examination." "Only" passed the exam... Xia Chang sighed. I remember when she was in junior high school, the teacher told her that if she wanted to be admitted to the county No. 1 middle school, she had to take every exam seriously and keep the total score above 550.So a long time ago, Chen Jianxia's goal was not satisfied with the first place, she wanted to use the county's goal to demand herself.The results of the last mock exam were announced, and Jian Xia, who still took the first place in the exam, fell down on the table and cried because the total score was only 530 points. The math paper that scored only 30 points was rolled into a roll and knocked on the table to scold her for being crazy. Seeing Xia turn her head at that moment, with tears in her eyes, she said viciously to the disdainful girl, it is my business that I am not satisfied, I am not you, and I have not compared with you!There is nothing to be satisfied with being stronger than you! That was almost the only time Jian Xia spoke loudly in the class, and it was also the only time that the quiet and shy she showed the pride and conceit of a top student. Young and frivolous, he thought Buqi was a coward with no self-esteem. However, when Yu Sisi gloated and said, "I only got the fourth place in the city", Jian Xia suddenly realized that she had unknowingly become the one at the back table who knocked the math paper on the table. girl on. No one is qualified to teach others to be content. She turned her eyes to the boy outside the window. What about you, the fourth in the exam, are you not reconciled? "Lin Yang is quite pitiful. I guess he is under too much pressure. Everyone says he must be number one, and he will inevitably perform abnormally." Yu Sisi shrugged, but there was no trace of sympathy in her tone. Played off the fourth.Jian Xia was still thinking about it in his heart. "Actually, he's quite a friendly boy. I just can't understand the middle school attached to the Normal University. They are pulling two to five to eighty thousand each." Jian Xia finally remembered, "By the way, who was the one who finally got the first place in the city?" Yu Sisi paused for a moment, her tone was high-spirited, "It's our monitor who carried you here just now, Chu Tiankuo, from our No. 8 Middle School." Jian Xia smiled, "It's so amazing! That's great." Yu Sisi's expression at that moment was the same as that of everyone in the High School Affiliated to Normal University who she despised, as if she was dragged by two to five or eighty thousand. "The little guy in the second row on the left, did you see that? His name is Xing Shuai. Don't look thin and small. He is the provincial first prize in mathematics, chemistry, physics, and computer science. This kind of person's brain is Biochemical weapons, we can’t understand. And the short-haired girl on the far left, Lu Linlin, she scored 116 points in Chinese in the senior high school entrance examination, and the composition is the only one in the city with a perfect score. Oh, and the girl with the highest rank in the penultimate row, Ruan Yiqiu, She participated in CCTV's Hope English Contest, but I forgot whether she won a prize or not, but her spoken English is very good anyway." Yu Sisi is like a mobile folder full of student files, introducing Jian Xia to a group of potential influential people.Jian Xia listened silently and tried hard to remember, although she didn't know what she was doing to memorize these - everything Yu Sisi said had only one effect on her, which was to increase her psychological burden. It's like a sheep in a wolf's den, besieged on all sides. With so many excellent people, it is very difficult to follow the trend. Jian Xia raised her head and smiled, "By the way, Yu Sisi, you must be very good, not worse than them." Yu Sisi shook her head exaggeratedly, "What, it's pure luck that I was admitted to this class. How can I be at the same level as these talented people? I guess I can say goodbye to this class after the bottom of the test." "A bottom-up test?" "Don't you know? Take the exam after the military training is over." "Ah?! Then... I'm not prepared, if I don't do well in the exam..." "Of course, I don't know if I will be kicked out of this class if I don't pass the exam. But what are you preparing for? You were recruited by Zhenhuahua from other places with a lot of money. You must be very powerful. It's not you who should be worried, but me!" Yu Sisi's carefree comfort was not very sincere, so Jian Xia could only shake her head and say, "No, I'm not very good at all." It's as if a group of martial arts masters were gathered on the eve of a martial arts competition on the top of a certain mountain, complimenting each other and testing each other, oh ha ha ha laugh so that the chest and the valley resonate together, but the hand is always on the scabbard ready to go.Jian Xia's little joy and pride of being admitted to Zhenhua was completely wiped out by the sun at this moment. "However, there are a lot of talented people in class two, except for Lin Yang mentioned just now—have you seen the boy who is being picked up by the instructor for solo practice? His name is Lu Yuning, and he has won the gold medal in the chemistry olympiad. Oh, and that one The chunky girl, Zheng Tong, the one wearing a pair of beer bottle bottoms, she is the second in the city in the senior high school entrance examination this year, only 0.9 points lower than our class leader, she is a dark horse. The girl next to Zheng Tong is also the same as me The one in the cram school is called Ling Xiangqian. She is the belle of the High School Attached to Normal University. It is said that she and Lin Yang have an unusual relationship, they are always together all day long, so they are probably a couple." Jian Xia smiled unconsciously.Of all the child prodigies introduced by Yu Sisi with an exaggerated tone, only Ling Xiangqian has no shining qualifications, and the reason for being called a master is because of her beauty and gossip.She tilted her head and looked at the beautiful girl who was chatting with her classmates during the break, with some sympathy and envy. "I have to go back to military training," Yu Sisi said, and suddenly stood up, "I can't be lazy anymore." Jian Xia felt her cheeks heat up, as if Yu Sisi's lazy words included her. "I'll go out with you, and I've had enough rest." "Come on, Miao Fu on the table, and the Nestle chocolate milk is bought for you by the squad leader, so hurry up and finish eating. Otherwise, you won't be able to stand for five minutes and you will faint again. If you have a chance, don't take a good rest, military training Are you addicted?" After Yu Sisi finished speaking, she pushed the snacks on the table in front of her, and walked out the door quickly. Jian Xia sat for a while, re-identified everyone introduced by Yu Sisi with his eyes, then picked up Miao Fu and tore open the packaging bag. I am indeed a little hungry.She slept alone in the dormitory for the first time last night. She was so excited that she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning. She was confused for a while when it was almost dawn, so she got up late in the morning and ran to stand in a military posture before she had time to eat.I thought I could eat more for lunch, but it was only at noon that I remembered that the meal cards of these non-local students were collected to apply for food subsidies collectively, and the teacher probably forgot to return them in time.Seeing that Xia didn't know any classmates, and couldn't find a familiar face in the vast crowd, and was too embarrassed to ask others to borrow cards to eat, he had to go hungry. So he fainted logically. Suddenly the door was pushed open, Jian Xia raised his head, and there was a boy with bleeding face standing in front of him. She gasped in fright, and Miaofu's debris was sucked into the trachea, choking her so much that she coughed so much that her lungs almost vomited out.Raising her head with tears in her eyes, she found that the boy had already walked in front of her. He quickly unwrapped the plastic packaging from the outside of the straw, inserted it into a milk carton and handed it to her. She drank several sips in a hurry, and finally calmed down her severe cough slowly. "Are you OK?" Being cared by a bloody person, Jian Xia was a little bit dumbfounded, "I'm fine. Thank you." Only then did I realize that I was still holding the edge of the cake tightly in my hand.Embarrassed, she stuffed Miao Fu back into the bag, and said to the boy, "After the school doctor helped me read it, I have something to go out. I don't know when I will be back." The boy didn't speak, Jianxia couldn't recognize his expression because of the blood on his face. Jian Xia suddenly became nervous for no reason.When she wanted to go to the summer vacation, her younger brother had been watching an idol drama, and she occasionally glanced at it. At that time, she happened to see the heroine bandaging the arm wound of the male protagonist of the basketball team. Wrapping up, she still sneered for a while. At this moment, he asked out of nowhere, "Do you want me to help you?" "Row." The other party's answer was simply outrageous.
