Chapter 43 Forty-two, the rain is about to come and the wind is full of the building

In the mid-term exam, I saw that Xia got the twelfth place in the class, and was fifty-three in the school year, which was an improvement over the last time.She sat in the Pizza Hut and bit her pen to study the school year rankings in front of her. She carefully studied everyone's strengths and weaknesses until Li Ran pulled the list and deliberately teased her: "Why are you so happy because you passed the exam? What's so good about this thing?" , next time you take the exam, do you want to write down the ranking by heart?" Jian Xia's face was a little red.She didn't even glance at the report card in the classroom, and kept stuffing it in her schoolbag. Only in front of Li Ran did she dare to magnify her complacency.

But it's also because I'm kind, Jian Xia thought, otherwise I would have put it on the desk and studied it in front of Yu Sisi. Yu Sisi's grades have been hovering around forty, which is in the lower middle. Even if Jian Xia hates her, she has never used her grades to provoke her. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but set her sights on the top of the list.Chu Tiankuo only took the second place in the exam this time and was sixth in the school year.Although it was said to the public that he had a fever on the day of the exam, although Chu Tiankuo joked about his failure openly and generously, although he responded openly and decently... Jian Xia still felt that something was wrong.

That is the truth of the iceberg Chu Tiankuo hiding under the water. At this moment, the door was pushed open, and a boy in a green T-shirt walked in, with his head downcast and his face depressed, and he almost tripped over the threshold.Li Ran, who was sitting facing the door, frowned quickly. Seeing Xia Xun turning his head, he saw that the boy was carrying a school uniform jacket from another school. "Li Ran?" The boy was surprised. Seeing Xia instinctively dislikes him, her guilty yet feigned pride looks a bit like herself two years ago.The boy's eyes flicked back and forth between Li Ran and Jian Xia, and Li Ran asked impatiently, "My girlfriend. Are you okay?"

The boy shrank back, as if Li Ran was a vicious dog that could go berserk at any time.The restaurant is L-shaped. The boy just walked in through the back door, then turned sharply and pushed open the front door to leave. "Who is this person?" "Liang Yibing." Seeing Xia couldn't help laughing, she actually understood Yu Sisi a little bit - in comparison, anyone would like Li Ran more, right? "What are you laughing at?" Li Ran used his rage to cover up his discomfort. "Hey, I haven't asked you all this time," Jian Xia tapped on the table lightly, "You two were kept in the dark by Yu Sisi about that matter, so it's fine if you just talk about it, why do you still hold grudges now?" ?”

Li Ran didn't answer directly, but he kept nagging when he saw Xia, and finally forced him to lose his mind: "I explained it to him well. I thought Yu Sisi was just acquainted by me, who knew that she was Liang Yibing's favorite party secretary?" .” Li Ran lay down on the table dejectedly, and continued sullenly: "Liang Yibing is timid, and he was not a loyal person before, but after all, we grew up together, and when he was bullied, I went to help him settle it. How many times have I been beaten because of how many troubles he caused, I never thought he would always hate me."

"Hate you?" Jian Xia was surprised, "Is it that serious? Why does he hate you when you help him all the time?" Li Ran paused, and confirmed again: "Yes, it's not hate, it's hatred. They were all there that day, Liang Yibing went crazy, and his voice was so high-pitched that someone stepped on his tail. He said that I was throwing money at him. Sisi deliberately robbed him to show off how rich he is. He pointed at my nose in front of everyone and said that he never looked down on me, and wished our family all the money sooner or later and a good death.” "...Why is he so effeminate when he scolds others?" Jian Xia couldn't laugh or cry, "But since he scolded you, why is he so frightened when he sees you now?"

Li Ran was a little embarrassed. "Of course I'll just beat him up." Seeing Xia Haha laugh out loud, Li Ran on the other side of the table shook his head, as if such bad memories could be shaken out.Suddenly he thought of something, and held Jian Xia's hand with a shy expression: "Hey, there is something I didn't have time to tell you yesterday. Don't be angry." "That's not necessarily true." Jian Xia stopped laughing and withdrew her hand vigilantly. "……I will not say anymore." Jian Xia glared at him: "Then I'll be angry now."

Li Ran is as good as he is, like beans poured out of a bamboo tube: "I say what I say. Yesterday, I invited Ling Xiangqian to drink milk tea." Seeing Xia's face sinking like water, she stared at him, waiting for further explanation. "It's her who called me. I haven't contacted for a long time. Really, it's been a long time. She called me suddenly and said that she wanted to go back to the bakery opposite our junior high school. She was a little crying, very pitiful, you go back After studying, I happen to be fine, so..." Li Ran paused, smiled, and scratched his forehead in embarrassment, "Your monitor, you really are nothing."

"Ah?" The topic changed suddenly, Jian Xia didn't react, "Why do you say that about our monitor again, he is very nice." "What's the matter, I'm telling the truth," Li Ran was unhappy seeing Xia's instinctive defense of Chu Tiankuo, "He dumped Ling Xiangqian." See Xia Yang's temples throbbing again.It's not because of other people's on and off, but the word "dumped" makes her sensitive. "Puppy love", "object", "dumped"... These are all sensitive words for her, and she feels like sitting on pins and needles when she hears them, each of which points to her own crimes.

"Don't say that..." Jian Xia corrected, "It's not good for them both." Li Ran blinked, feeling unreasonable at Chen Jianxia's feudal comments, but he didn't dwell on it: "I'm serious, they broke up. It seems that it's because he didn't do well in the exam. Fuck, fell from the first in the school year to the sixth It's also called 'failed in the exam'? Doesn't it deserve a beating? It's not the college entrance examination, and he dumped someone just because of this, is he sick?" "Do you need to be filled with righteous indignation! Everyone has their own difficulties!" Jian Xia was not willing to listen.It's not just that Li Ran is jealous because he stood up for Ling Xiangqian; more, it's an inexplicable understanding.

She understood Chu Tiankuo, even about this matter, he never told her anything. "What's the difficulty? The difficulty is that puppy love affects your studies? Don't you think this is as superstitious as the woman with high cheekbones, Kefu? How come you haven't affected your studies, and the more you take the test, the better?" "I..." Jian Xia was unable to argue, "I can't tell you clearly. Leave other people's affairs alone." She doesn't want to continue this topic, although she is the one who loves gossip and gossip.Chen Jianxia put away the report card, closed the textbook and put it in the schoolbag: "I'm going to cram school." Li Ran stared blankly at her getting up, and suddenly held her hand: "I went to see her innocently, don't, don't..." Chen Jianxia smiled: "Don't do anything, don't be you?" Her narrow look made Li Ran blush, and hurriedly waved his hands: "Go, go, I will pick you up at night." Seeing Xia push the door away, she smiled with her back turned to him.She is no longer the jealous little girl she was back then, all because her heart is filled with the determination and confidence of the protagonist.She was standing at the crossroads with a heavy schoolbag on her back, waiting for the green light. The sunlight from the buildings made her face blush.Such a moment reminded Chen Jianxia that there seemed to be the same gentle sunset when he left his grandfather's house. At that time Li Ran hugged her from behind and said, my grandparents have been separated for many years because my grandpa was sent to Xinjiang for labor reform, but they were always waiting for each other.I think people in that era are really rare. They don't know what will happen tomorrow, but they are willing to grit their teeth and wait. See Xia Momo.It is not difficult to have no choice but to wait, but the difficulty is that the temptation ahead is overwhelming, but you are still willing to stop where you are, looking back at a certain figure who does not know when it will appear.How can it be done? At that moment, she lightly held the hands around her waist, and wanted to promise "we will be like them too", but after a long while, she could only smile softly and say, "Let's be good, don't suffer that kind of hardship. " It is better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to be in love with each other. The next morning, the morning self-study bell rang, and Chen Jianxia was wiping the dust on the front and rear door beams before the arrival of the Zhou student on duty, and suddenly saw Ling Xiangqian coming from the stairs, with her schoolbag on her back and her head hanging down, she didn't know what she was thinking, Taking advantage of the trend, we will walk into the back door of the second class. That was her class when she was in science. "Ling Xiangqian?" Chen Jianxia's voice woke her up, she looked up at the class number in panic, then smiled wearily. "Wrong way. Thank you." She didn't see Xia, and turned and went upstairs like a wandering spirit.Chen Jianxia watched her leave, and then looked back at his class. Chu Tiankuo was sitting in the last row by the window, spinning his pen and thinking about a topic. When his deskmate said something to him, the corner of his mouth raised, as if applauding He smiled and kept his eyes on the exercise book. Seeing Xia Zai's mother-in-law, she never asked Chu Tiankuo about the midterm exam or Ling Xiangqian. Even though everyone smiled and teased Chu Tiankuo "you have today", even Chu Tiankuo himself smiled and said " One by one, they made troubles, and they usually cover you for nothing... Everyone knows that this is just a small defeat for Chu Tiankuo.However, instinctively, she knew that it was Chu Tiankuo's bottom line, and she should not step on it if she was a friend. Jian Xia threw down the rag and ran to the sink to wash her hands.The clear water rushed over the back of her white hands, and the bell that officially started the morning self-study came from outside the door, and she suddenly felt short of breath. Class Yi has had a hard time recently. The average score in the mid-term exam was lower than that of Class 2, and even the first place in the school year was taken away by Lin Yang from Class 2. Yu Dan was always listless, and asked for sick leave after a few days, and asked the teacher from Class 4 to help lead the class.The dissatisfaction in the class is getting stronger and stronger.Finally, several parent representatives went to the principal's office together with a joint book signed by more than 30 people. Everyone held their breath, paying attention to the future development. On Friday afternoon, the dean gathered a group of class committees in his office, and took them one by one to the principal's office for a conversation. After the conversation, he went back to class directly. He was not allowed to disclose the content of the conversation, and he was not allowed to discuss it in private. The first one was Chu Tiankuo, and then called the next person every five minutes; there were fewer and fewer students in the office, and finally only Yu Sisi and Jianxia were left.While the dean was out, Yu Sisi, for the first time, took the initiative to strike up a conversation with Xia Xia: "If Teacher Yu is really pregnant, do you want to change the head teacher?" Chen Jianxia knew what she should say; but let her support the annoying Yu Dan here hypocritically, even if she faced the insidious Yu Sisi, she still couldn't do it, so she could only shake her head perfunctorily: " You can't talk nonsense about pregnancy." "Are you implying that you don't want her to be pregnant?" Yu Sisi really had bad intentions. "What about you?" Jian Xia stared at Yu Sisi with burning eyes, "Don't just ask me." The sound of the door opening at the right time saved Yu Sisi's life. She got up and followed the director to leave. Before leaving, she gave Chen Jianxia a meaningful look. She was alone in the room.Seeing Xia sinking on the sofa with her arms folded in a daze, staring straight at the sky where the heavy rain was coming, she suddenly shivered. The principal's office is very large, and it was the first time for Chen Jianxia to come in.The vice-principal is a woman in her fifties, with curly hair and short hair, and a slightly fat figure. She is sitting on the boss's chair with her back facing the window, her expression cannot be seen clearly. "What's your name? What kind of class leader are you in the class, and how many people are you taking the exam?" The vice-principal's voice was exhausted, and he didn't look at her when he was asking, just lowered his head and wrote and drew on the paper. Chen Jianxia answered one by one. The vice-principal sighed: "Oh, you came from another county, I know the number. Well, you probably guessed what you are going to ask? Your teacher Yu is pregnant, and the due date is probably at the end of January next year. I came here to ask you Your personal opinion. Actually, what do you think of Teacher Yu usually?" drive her away.Chen Jianxia heard the voice deep in her mind. Yet she did not say so. After walking out of the principal's office, she sent a text message to Li Ran, asking him why she couldn't seize the opportunity to attack the person she hated. Li Ran's reply was very simple: To add insult to injury is a derogatory term.And you are a good girl. She's not a bad person after all.Although Yu Dan is perfunctory to students, conservative in thinking, and utilitarian, she is still a standard teacher in general. If she was not forced by her husband and mother-in-law, how could she choose to get pregnant at this time.Chen Jianxia herself is not a naughty ghost who can't study independently without a teacher, so she raises her hand and asks Yu Dan to come back and make a decoration. Didn't Li Ran say that all living beings suffer.Then show each other a little mercy. Just as Chen Jianxia was staring at the phone with a smile, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from the side.She raised her head in panic, and saw Yu Dan walking over in a hurry, her eyes slipped from the smile she hadn't had time to put away to the closed door of the principal's office. Yu Dan, who doesn't wear makeup, looks as if she is ten years older, her hair is tied back casually, with a few strands leaking out, and she is actually a little downcast. Yu Dan knocked on the door like a soldier, turned the handle and walked in. The principal's room was well soundproofed. Chen Jianxia stood at the door for a while, feeling a little cold, so he had to go back to work. A few days later, when Chen Jianxia was rinsing a cup in the sink, Lu Linlin abducted from the women's toilet to wash her hands, stood beside her, and asked mysteriously, "Have you heard that Yu Dan is not leaving?" It seems that in the past half a month, everyone's address suddenly changed from "Teacher Yu" to "Yu Dan", as if she was already a middle-aged woman who had nothing to do with her class. "I heard that Yu Dan found a backer in the education system, and cried and quarreled with the principal, saying that the school was trying to force her to death." Lu Linlin's eyes were shining. Did you just "make trouble" after you left?Jian Xia fell into deep thought.Even after hearing Yu Dan's sobbing phone call, Jian Xia could hardly imagine what it was like for her to be "crying and fussing". "Later the school promised Yu Dan not to change the head teacher; Yu Dan promised to keep going to work until she had to give birth, and the maternity leave was only two months, and she would come back to lead the class before the second mock exam in the third year of high school." "How do you know so clearly?" Jian Xia couldn't help asking. Lu Linlin smiled reservedly and didn't answer. Instead, she looked at Xia pretending to be worried: "You can ask for more blessings. Yu Dan heard that when the school was investigating the class committee, some students said bad things about her, and hoped that she would be transferred away." I guess she won't spare you lightly when she comes back." This is the point of Lu Linlin and her broken mouth.Jian Xia couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately she was a "good person" at the critical moment, otherwise when Yu Dan made a comeback, she would definitely not know how to deal with herself. Yu Dan, who had been on leave for a long time, walked slowly back to the class in the first Chinese class in the afternoon, gently stroking his waist with his hands, with a complicated expression of victory on his face.She didn't say anything in a hurry, but looked around the class with a smile.There were so many secret fights between teachers and students, Yu Dan wiped them all out with a calm gaze, as before, whitewashing the peace is her forte. "I've always wanted to tell everyone a piece of good news. I'm going to have a baby next year." Everyone in the class responded excitedly to this stale news, with false smiles all around, and applause ranging from sparse to roaring in the room. Jian Xia also smiled and applauded, calmly acting as an extra, until Yu Dan's gaze rested on her. There are many students sitting in this direction.It can be seen that Xia knew that Yu Dan was looking at her. After watching for a long time, until the applause subsided, Yu Dan moved lightly and wrote the title of the new text on the blackboard. An invisible hand gently grabbed Jian Xia's neck.She can feel it.
