Chapter 4.2 – The Mysterious Talk of The Class Teacher (2)
❥❥❥
When school was over, Nan Xiangwan made a mistake.
After the school bell rang, she carried her schoolbag and walked out. Before she reached the door, she heard the team leader yelled, “Nan Xiangwan, want to go again? Clean up!”
“…” Nan Xiangwan sighed and rubbed her forehead. After a month, she still has not adapted to cleaning up as one of the student’s duty.
Nan Xiangwan put down her schoolbag and took the mop to wash it. When she returned, she saw a girl standing at the door of the classroom.
The girl is tall, with a ponytail, and her back is straight like a blooming lily. It is Chen Shiyun who should be in the Rocket class. She neither yelled inside nor asked the students who came in and out for help. She just stood there, motionless and silent.
Nan Xiangwan walked over, “Are you looking for Lin Xiaoran?” Lin Xiaoran, this guy, he couldn’t possibly run away while cleaning, right?
Chen Shiyun didn’t even look at her. She looked straight inside, neither admitting nor denying it, as if she hadn’t heard.
“Huh…” Nan Xiangwan sneered in her heart, turned and walked into the classroom. However, she just glanced into the classroom and was startled. The mop in her hand was almost thrown out. She thought Chen Shiyun was standing here because Lin Xiaoran was not there. Who knew Lin Xiaoran was standing upright on the podium in the classroom.
There is a trash can in front of him. With one hand clenched into a fist and hung by his side, the other hand tucked into his pants pocket, he stared at Chen Shiyun motionlessly with the same gaze.
“You…” Nan Xiangwan looked confused, didn’t understand what the two were doing. The last time she saw Chen Shiyun looked for Lin Xiaoran, she just glanced at the exam result posted on the door and left. This time she looks for Lin Xiaoran, she saw him but didn’t speak. What happened?
Feeling the tension between the two, Nan Xiangwan stepped back unconsciously for fear of splashing herself with blood.
Time passed by, and in the end, Chen Shiyun was defeated. She turned around abruptly and left. The movements were clean and unobstructed. During the whole process, her chin never pressed down for a second, as proud as a white swan.
Seeing Chen Shiyun left, Lin Xiaoran was also discouraged for a second. He gradually loosened his clenched fist, bent over to pick up the trash can, and went out to take out the trash.
Nan Xiangwan still didn’t understand what was going on.She shook her head and shrugged, and started mopping the floor.
Nan Xiangwan quickly cleaned one side of the aisle. After washing the mop, she found that the team leader who used to be rushing home had not left. She was sitting in the first row, wiping her hands with hand cream, and when she saw Nan Xiangwan, she said, “Okay, you can go home.”
“Aren’t you going back?” Nan Xiangwan asked.
“Didn’t Lin Xiaoran go to take out the trash? He doesn’t have the key. If we just left, what if he loses something?”
“Hah?” Nan Xiangwan looked at the team leader strangely. Didn’t she say “I’ve never heard of anyone missing something” before? She also said “If you want to stay, you can stay” and left in a hurry. Why is she changing now?
Seeing that Nan Xiangwan was still hesitating, the team leader urged, “Well, you go quickly.” She simply got up from her seat and kept Nan Xiangwan back out of the door.
“Okay, okay. I’ll go by myself.” Nan Xiangwan thought while walking, women are really fickle animals.
She walked out of the teaching building and went to the underground garage. Passing the basketball court on the road, she saw Lin Xiaoran playing basketball. Nan Xiangwan couldn’t help but complain, didn’t he go to take out the trash? Why are you playing here, the team leader is waiting for you foolishly.
Nan Xiangwan stood on the steps in front of the teaching building and watched for a while. She knew that Lin Xiaoran liked to play basketball, but she never thought that he played so hard. He was the only one under the hoops. He took the ball for a layup and dunked. After an abrupt stop for a jump shot, the ball didn’t score, and it hit the backboard with a loud noise. He was obviously the only one on the court, but it was like he was fighting like someone else. Nan Xiangwan thought, no wonder no one went up to play with him. Just look at his power to block, if you were touched by him, you would have half alive if not die.
There are still some people on the basketball court. Everyone is watching, from time to time there was a burst of exclamation, but the voice was small for fear of shocking others. Lin Xiaoran played for a while and smashed the ball heavily on the ground. The basketball immediately bounced and flew up like a rocket.
“Crazy.” Nan Xiangwan cursed and walked down the steps to the basement.
She pushed out the bike and walked straight to the “Little Maru” shop. She ordered fish balls, chicken fillets, bean curd, and eggplant. The business was good today, several tables were full of people. Nan Xiangwan sat down at the only remaining table.
Waiting for deep-fried skewers, she took out the notebook she brought with her and used this time to look at the knowledge points.
“No. 68!” The boss is a local and speaks in an authentic dialect with a cordial and earthy taste.
Nan Xiangwan brought the deep-fried skewers back, dipped the deep-fried skewers on a sauce, and eat it while it’s hot. This fishball is very special. The fishballs are not bought in the market but made by the owner. The fishball is fragrant and chewy with crispy batter on the outside makes the mouth full of happiness.
Speaking of fish balls, Nan Xiangwan remembered that he had met Lin Xiaoran before and he asked Chen Shiyun to eat fried skewers. At that time, Lin Xiaoran held a handful of fried skewers and waited for her. After seeing Chen Shiyun, he fed her fish balls. Seeing that she was scalded, he helped her blow the fried skewers, looking very intimate. But it’s strange, since then, she seemed to never see the two go home together again.
“What happened?” Nan Xiangwan took the fish balls while thinking hard.
Suddenly, a hand patted her head, and Lin Xiaoran’s voice rang in her ear. “What are you thinking?” Lin Xiaoran finished speaking and sat down opposite her.
Nan Xiangwan looked back and found that although there were many people eating fried skewers, there happened to be a table vacant over there. It’s just that the tableware on it had not yet been collected. She curled her lips in disdain. Obviously there was a place to sit but he just wanted to come over.
She saw that Lin Xiaoran was in a bad mood, and his face was sullen as if he could hit someone at any time. She felt sorry for herself and wanted to hurry up and leave after eating. Who knew that at this moment, Lin Xiaoran glanced at the bamboo sticks piled up next to her, and raised his eyebrows, “Why do you eat so much?”
Nan Xiangwan just opened her mouth, with a crab steak beside her mouth. Hearing Lin Xiaoran’s words, her mouth seemed to have been cursed. She put down the fried skewers, tilted her head to look at Lin Xiaoran, couldn’t help but asked, “Why you care?”
Seeing her iconic expression, Lin Xiaoran laughed. The stool of the fried skewers stall is very short. Lin Xiaoran is tall and has long legs, awkwardly sitting on it. He put his elbows on his legs, wiped his face with his hands, and looked towards Nan Xiangwan, “Do you know how much I hated you before?”
“…” Nan Xiangwan was stunned. She knew that she was unlikeable. She was arrogant, mean, and antagonistic, but she hid it well. Or in other words, she was very thoughtful in her work, so people couldn’t fault it. This is the first time someone has spoken outrightly and bluntly in front of her face.
“I…” She straightened her back swiftly, like a cat in a threatening situation. She had a full posture, but she didn’t know what to say. Nan Xiangwan suddenly became embarrassed, her cheeks flushed like a neon sign on a billboard.
Lin Xiaoran smiled again.
He changed his posture and said with a certain tone again, “I used to hate you so much. You always said that you got a wrong score in the placement test. You should be in the Rocket class instead of the Disciplinary class.”
“This is a fact.” Nan Xiangwan pouted and argued in her heart.
Lin Xiaoran continued, “Especially the look in your eyes. When you look at your classmates, it’s like looking at a bunch of garbage that nobody wants.”
“Ah? Is it that obvious?” Nan Xiangwan tried to reflect.
“That’s why I hate you so much. Obviously your grades are not very good, but you still look down on this and look down on that. Where on earth are your confident coming from?”
“Hey, you…” Nan Xiangwan has not finished speaking yet, Lin Xiao sighed quietly. “But gradually, my mind changed, especially after sitting in front of you. I found that you really should have such confidence. I’ve never seen anyone study so hard. Carefully review previous lesson before class started, write densely packed notes, listen concentrate on the lectures. Anyone who makes a little noise will be scolded by you. Review carefully after class, homework is done meticulously, even when it’s time to rest……”
“Hey…” Nan Xiangwan couldn’t stop him in time. Lin Xiaoran had already snatched her notebook on the table. He glanced, shook the notebook in his hand, and joked, “You still need to study chemical equation while eating fried skewers.”
This is Nan Xiangwan’s habit. She doesn’t want to waste any time so she takes the notebook with her, and read it whenever she can.
Lin Xiaoran flipped through the notebook and said sadly, “But you have worked so hard and your grades are still so average.”
“…” Nan Xiangwan couldn’t laugh or cry. This is just temporary, okay? Give her some more time, she will definitely be able to return to the Rockets class. On the contrary, he, in his current state of playfulness, can he admitted to college?
Lin Xiaoran pointed his finger at her, “Look at you, with this kind of look again.” He returned the notebook to her and said helplessly, “Forget it, I guess you will change in a while. I will invite you to drink Coke.” Lin Xiaoran stood up and went to the convenience store next door to buy a bottle of Coke. Instead of handing the Coke to her directly, he unscrewed the lid and screwed it back again, and then put the Coke in front of her.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoran’s fried skewers were ready. He was obviously a regular customer, chatted with the boss for a while. Not long after, Lin Xiaoran came back. Nan Xiangwan found that the fried skewers he ordered were similar to hers, except one things were missing which is fish balls.
