CH 13
The Younger Brother Next Door is a School Grass
âAre you going to post a monthly grade sheet?â Yi Ting looked at the corner of the blackboard.
The student committee member flattened the paper as he replied, âYes.â
âLet me see first.â
âWhatâs the hurry, wait for me to post it and then read it â¦â¦â
âSisi, third place! Wow, youâre third place in this monthly exam.â Yi Ting pointed to the corresponding grade column.
Seeing her result Zhou Sisi was a little surprised.
In high school, her grades had always hovered between the 50s to 70s, and she had never even entered the top 50.
This time she was ranked third in the class and the 21st grade in the school.
âYou have made great progress this time! Letâs find where I amâ¦Ahâ -Seeing her results, Yi Ting bitterly said, âIâm at the bottom of the class again.â
Zhou Sisi comforted: âYou can catch up in the next monthly exam. Cheer up!â
Yi Ting: âI have decided from today onwards, Iâm going to learn from Sisiâ
Zhou Sisi: âWellâ¦first let go of your hand and let the student committee member post it.â
Guo Qin tidied the table. After checking, Yi Ting asked him to fetch half a glass of water.
âI have a question to ask Zhou Sisi. The class will start in a few minutes.â He shook the mineral water bottle as he asked, âWhy donât I just pour it out from my bottle?.â
Yi Ting was very disgusted: âDisgusting, who wants to drink your polluted water.â
âWait, Iâll deal with you in the next class. Please, grandma, let me clear my doubts first.â
âItâs so annoying. Iâve never seen you ask others so actively before.â
Ignoring Yi Ting, he turned around with his test paper. âThe third choice question, can you explain it to me?â His tone was completely different while talking to Yi Ting or other girls.
âThe horizontal direction of the conductor bar â¦.â Zhou Sisi summarized the following question.
He listened and replied with, âHmm-hmm.â
In the blue sky, a plane whizzed, leaving behind a pale white trail.
The four key classes from the junior high school third grade had their physical examination test being conducted on the track and field.
After running a thousand meters, Lu Xi leaned back on the horizontal bar.
âCatch it.â Huang Zhou threw a bottle of lemon tea.
Lu Xi raised his hand to catch. âTsk. Itâs not cold.â
âItâs not summer, so why do you need a cold drink?â Huang Zhou sat down on the steps.
Lu Xi snorted, âHehâ, âEvery time after playing football, Who is the one yelling for chilled Coke?â
âPresident Huang is not afraid of killing his sperm.â Pan De wiped his glasses.
âDamn, Iâm so energetic. Whatâs there to be afraid of?â Huang Zhou tilted his head and gulped a mouthful of Coke.
The corner of Lu Xiâs mouth twitched in response as he said, âTake it easy, and weâll evaluate the pull-ups later.â
âItâs not difficult, just mess around and the scores will be excellent.â Huang Zhou grinned broadly.
Hua No. 3 Middle School was a key school in the province and their class was also a key class. It was impossible for a student to fail the physical education exam. Lao Zhuang, the headteacher too, had vaguely reassured the students.
Lu Xi: âYou must perform well and donât mess around with it.â
Pan De: âCrap, your dialogue sounds dirty.â
Huang Zhou: âHow is this dirty?â
Placing down the bottle, Lu Xi placed both of his hands on the grill and leaped on the parallel bars.
He stepped on the lever with one foot while the other leg hung down, making him seem like a lazy person with boredom.
âSomething in your pocket is about to fall.â Pan De flicked a piece of paper that was exposed in Lu Xiâs pocket.
Huang Zhou teased: âLove letters? Has Axi become so fond of love letters?â
âYour brotherâs love letter.â Folding the paper, he put it back into his pocket. Lu Xi didnât intend to tell them that this was a word note for this weekâs assignment.
âIf Axi received all the love letters with him,â Pan De put on his glasses as he continued, âit would not even be filled with ten pockets.â
Lu xi: âThereâs not that much.â
âNot so much.â Huang Zhou said, âMost of the girls sent WeChat messages, and courageous people will make phone calls.â
âLetâs talk about something else like nutrition, shall we?â Lu Xi was impassive.
Huang Zhou said: âSure, tonight Huang Zong from No.3 middle school will share nutritious films with the group.â
Lu Xiâs eyelids were half-closed. âDonât make the people in the group leave.â
âPresident Huang is always in the mood to watch a movie?â Pan De said, âArenât you flirting with the girl who came out last time?â
Huang Zhou: âXiaosha loves to study, we can talk for an hour every day, and we will have more fun on weekends.â
Pan De âHow does she look? Is there any photo?â
Huang Zhou: âI wonât show it to you. She is a good-looking girl.â
âIs she as good-looking as Gong Yao or Sister Sisi?â Pan De asked.
Huang Zhou had a small fight in his brain. âItâs a different type, they are all good-looking.â Then said, âI just went to the canteen, and met Sister Sisi, and chatted a few words with her.â
Lu Xi raised his eyelids, the long legs that swayed stopped slowly.
âAre you familiar with the senior sister well enough to talk?â Pan De questioned contemptuously.
Huang Zhou touched his chin. âWhy not? Axi is familiar with senior sister, who is my friend, so it goes the same as me and senior sister.â
âStupid.â Lu Xi jumped off the parallel bars and said, â Iâm going to the assembly grounds.â
âItâs not the time yet. There are still a few minutes left? â
The P.E class was dismissed, and Sisi returned to the class alone.
After reading the Abstract Magazine borrowed from the front desk for a while, she wrote todayâs math homework.
âWhatâs in it?â Halfway through, Hu Guomin came over and picked up the cup on Zhou Sisiâs table.
âIs it for skincare? Sisi?â
âWhy are you ignoring me?â
After writing a line of formulas, Zhao Sisi said, âPut it back.â
âYou didnât tell me what it isâyah!â Hu Guominâs hand was empty.
Zhou Sisi placed the retrieved cup back in its place.
âI canât take a look at itâ¦â murmured Hu Guomin. âWhy didnât you go to the infirmary with me the day before yesterday?â
Zhou Sisi didnât even glance at her.
âWhy are you ignoring me? Zhou Sisi, Iâm talking to you.â
Hu Guomin thought for a moment as she said, âThese days Lu Meihe and the others need my help with something, and Iâm not in a good mood, so I didnât come to you much.â
Hu Guomin thought she was upset because she left her out. Due to Zhou Sisiâs soft nature, she would definitely take care of herself if she said so.
âDonât look for me in the future,â Zhou Sisi said.
Hu Guomin was stunned for a while. âWhatâs wrong with you?â
It was still the same Zhou Sisi, but her attitude was very different. Was it the Zhou Sisi whose ponytail was ripped off by hooking the bracelet and, in turn, asking others if the bracelet was okay? Why didnât she continue to be the same as before, smooth and obedient?
âSisiâ¦â Yi Ting walked into the classroom through the back door and saw Hu Guomin next to her seat, immediately she didnât want to go back or talk.
âDonât put on a cold face. Can I be at the same table with you this time?â Hu Guomin said kindly.
âI donât want to be at the same table with you.â Zhou Sisiâs naturally soft voice was cold. âPlease donât disturb me with solving the problem here.â
Hu Guomin was so angry. âZhou Sisi youâ¦â
âWhat are you doing? Get out of the way.â Yi Ting didnât know what was going on, but she simply didnât like Hu Guomin.
She had long felt that Hu Guominâs character was not good, and she was happy to see Sisi break up with her.
Hu Guomin bullied the soft and feared the hard she dared not confront Yi Ting, who had a lot of friends and rich family, so she resentfully left with huff.
âYou and Hu Guoâis this biology homework for the evening reading?â Yi Ting stopped the curious question. âDraw Chapter 2 Intellectual Network?â
Zhou Sisi glanced at the sticky note. âThatâs right.â
âThen I will write in the next class. Do you want to eat Pretz?â
âNo, you can eat.â
âSisi, your mood⦠is it okay?â she cautiously asked.
âItâs okay.â Zhou Sisi turned her face and said, âHu Guomin is just my classmate.â
âItâs nice not to be a friend. Wait,â Yi Ting said worriedly. âDid she do anything to spite you?â Otherwise, why else would Sisi suddenly break off her friendship with Hu Guomin?
Zhou Sisi: âNo.â
Hu Guomin was sorry for what she did in her past life, and now she cut off contact with this hypocritical âfriendâ early.
âThatâs fine.â Yi Ting relaxed and clicked on the cookies. âI will play with my phone for a while. You remind me when the teacher comes to class.â
Zhou Sisi: âumâ.
One by one, students returned to class.
In the end, it was a key class for science, and most of the students devoted themselves to self-study, and people who didnât study consciously didnât make noise and interfere with others.
Zhou Sisi solved two problems, rubbed her eyes, and pressed the acupoints to rest.
âLooking for missing limited-edition books, the title page signed by the illustrator kolayo, and thank you very much if you find it, the contact detailsâ¦â¦Skip.â
Yi Ting brushed off the post and mumbled the title: âSecretly share a wave of eye-catching picturesâ¦â
âCrap! Look! Sisi!â Yi Ting shared in a low and excited voice. âLook at the handsome man, your mood will become better!â
Zhou Sisi looked at the handed mobile phone.
There were two photos on the screen, the top one was unknown boy, and the bottom oneââ
The gray-silver sand pool with green trees around the side. A teenager in a white and blue sports sweater was drinking a drink with his head tilted backward, his left hand on the lever while his right hand held the bottle.
Most of his face was exposed in the sun, and it was refreshing and handsome, with a beautiful neck and an attractive Adam apple.
âThe first one is Yuan Xuchao todayâs pic.â Yi Ting moved her finger down, âThis one is Lu Xi. Itâs the little school grass I told you last time that was looking for your reply under your post.â
Zhou Sisi was more confused: âWhere did these photos come from?â
Yi Ting: âMost students who post on the post-bar take photos secretly.â
Zhou Sisi returned the phone and said, ââ¦like this.â
Yi Ting: â Handsome guy, he is the schoolâs common Property everyone appreciates it together.â
Yi Ting arched Zhou Sisiâs shoulders, âWho do you think is more handsome?â
âWellâ¦they are all the same.â Zhou Sisi said.
Yi Ting was dissatisfied: âNo, you must choose a more handsome one?â
Zhou Sisi hesitated: âI thinkâ¦â Lu Xi.
âHey, last time I swiped a post,â Yi Ting suddenly remembered. âIt said Lu Xi was chatting with a girl on the road and shared an umbrella with her.â
âThe host refers to the girl with ZSS, it canât be you, right?â
ââ¦Iâm not the only one who should abbreviate ZSS.â Zhou was as if nothing had happened.
âIt seems so. But,â Yi Ting stopped rubbing her eyelids and continuing, âbut the anonymous person who is known as Lu Xiâs classmate revealed that the girl is from high school. Crap, is it really you? Sisi, do you know Lu Xi?â
Zhou Sisi: ââ¦â
