Chapter 1104: Chapter 627: Didn’t Invite Me
When stepping into society, recalling high school days, those three years often feel like the blink of an eye.
However, living in it, it felt especially long.
Third period, math class, was a difficult hurdle for the students of Class 8.
Gao Heshuai stepped into the classroom and randomly checked the test papers of five unlucky students, one of whom was Wu Xiaoqi.
However, Wu Xiaoqi’s test paper was filled to the brim, leaving Gao Heshuai without a chance, so he put it down, annoyed.
Gao Heshuai demonstrated the spirit of Ah Q: "Aren’t you so great? Under my watch, you still have to write the test paper, don’t you?"
Having endured the inspection, Wu Xiaoqi gave Miao Zhe a look of praise.
Currently, he was hiring Miao Zhe with a monthly fee of one thousand yuan to help him handle all the test papers.
So he could focus on playing basketball.
Gao Heshuai was teaching at the podium, while Wu Xiaoqi hugged his basketball while listening.
Gao Heshuai glared at Wu Xiaoqi at the tenth, eleventh, and twelfth minute marks.
The students immediately knew that the fuse had been lit and something entertaining was about to happen.
"Wu Xiaoqi, why are you holding a basketball during class?"
"Put it down immediately!" Gao Heshuai scolded.
Wu Xiaoqi: "I’m holding the basketball for your sake, isn’t it?"
Gao Heshuai was puzzled: "What does holding a basketball have to do with me?"
Wu Xiaoqi chuckled and said: "Yeah, what’s it got to do with you?"
Soft laughter came from the corner, Duan Shigang: "Damn, that’s brilliant!"
Wang Longlong said in a low voice: "Brother Ma, Xiao Qi is getting smarter."
Wu Xiaoqi was kicked out of the classroom and sent to the hallway outside. To avoid last time’s catastrophe, Gao Heshuai wouldn’t allow him to bring the basketball.
Gao Heshuai thought to himself, it’s foolproof now.
Ten minutes later, the homeroom teacher of Experimental Class 1, Hu Hou, appeared at the door of Class 8.
Gao Heshuai’s heart skipped a beat!
Hu Hou angrily said: "Xiao Gao, why did you let your student come to my class’s door and perform a ritual again?"
"Are you deliberately cursing our Class 1?"
...
Evening.
The temperatures suddenly dropped in Yuzhou.
In Yishan Scenic Spot, Shao Shuangshuang, clad in a black overcoat, stood halfway up the mountain, overlooking the area below.
Dozens of construction trucks were parked on the plain, with thousands of workers busily working on a construction project.
The wind started howling, growing stronger and stronger, but Shao Shuangshuang, wearing Jiang Ning’s most top-grade jade pendant, felt none of the chill.
Shao Shuangshuang’s face remained unchanged, the tear mole at the corner of her eye glistened in the cold wind, adding a touch of captivating charm.
A cold-faced woman in her thirties beside her frowned: "President Shao, the weather is too cold now. My suggestion is to cancel all activities except the press conference."
Shao Shuangshuang: "No, proceed according to the original plan."
Her voice was clear and determined, exuding immense confidence and decisiveness.
Zhao Shuang was helpless, genuinely unable to understand why President Shao insisted on adding extra activities just for a press conference.
Shao Shuangshuang spoke no more, silently gazing in the direction of Yu Zhou Fourth Middle School.
...
The wind swept across the school grounds, stirring up yellowing fallen leaves, carrying a biting chill.
Tang Jing stood in the first-floor corridor, hugging her arms, shivering: "Yu Zhu, aren’t you cold?"
Huang Yuzhu stood beside her, honestly said: "I’ve been strong since I was young. My grandma says I’ll definitely be a great farmer in the future."
Tang Jing found him rustic, from inside out, there was a kind of rustic charm.
In the past, she would have mocked him outright, but now she couldn’t, she couldn’t ruin her image in front of Yu Zhu.
"I really envy your good physique. If I were as fit as you, I wouldn’t be afraid of the cold in winter." Tang Jing agreed.
Huang Yuzhu showed his teeth: "You definitely will be someday."
Tang Jing felt a bit lost in her words: "I’m a girl, can’t compare to you guys."
Upon hearing this, Huang Yuzhu pondered for a bit.
"Did you hear? Tomorrow night during self-study, our school can draw slots for the Evergreen Liquid press conference. I’ll help you draw one." Tang Jing offered.
Her words interrupted Huang Yuzhu’s thoughts, reminding Huang Yuzhu of the last marathon competition, for which Tang Jing also helped him draw a slot.
That competition earned Huang Yuzhu a significant amount of money.
Thinking of Tang Jing’s help, Huang Yuzhu’s resolve became firmer.
He said to Tang Jing: "Come with me."
Tang Jing was curious, but she followed Huang Yuzhu to a secluded stairway corner.
Huang Yuzhu put down the bag he carried with him, unzipped it, and took out a pair of black dumbbells, solemnly saying:
"You are afraid of the cold, aren’t you? It’s okay, you just lack exercise, your body is too weak. I’ll give them to you, play with them every day, and soon you’ll become strong, and won’t be afraid of the cold."
Tang Jing: "???"
She looked at Huang Yuzhu in disbelief, as if seeing an alien. She had never seen such an unromantic man.
In the past, Tang Jing would definitely have lost her temper, but now she had learned to be patient.
Tang Jing reluctantly accepted the gift: "I really like it, thank you."
Huang Yuzhu was delighted: "As long as you like it."
He finally knew how to repay Tang Jing.
...
On the way to the girls’ dormitory.
"Yuxia, Yuxia, hurry up!" The twins called ahead.
Bai Yuxia walked in the wind, her long hair fluttering, the hem of her clothes waving in the air.
Her face was slightly pale, lips tightly closed, as she walked a few more steps forward, catching up with the twins.
The weather suddenly turned cold, and there was no air conditioning in the classroom, so they were worried about it being too cold during evening self-study and went to the dormitory to get clothes.
Bai Yuxia didn’t stay at the dormitory, but she could wear the twins’ clothes.
From the open campus, stepping into the dormitory building enclosed by walls, the cold wind suddenly weakened considerably, and in her sight, many girls were moving through the corridor, wearing brightly colored clothes, like flowers swaying in the wind.
