growing up

Ling Chao had a video meeting with his parents in the evening as usual, and they talked about some things about the start of school, and didn't mention a word about the fight.

Fortunately, except for the kick on the waist, Ling Chao didn't suffer any injuries, and the parents on the other end of the video couldn't tell anything unusual.

After a good night's sleep, the next day was a bit gloomy. Ling Chao got up an hour earlier to exercise, and when he arrived at school, he was still 10 minutes away from his morning reading.

There are already quite a few people in the classroom, and the boarding students still have a morning self-study session, so the few vacant seats should be for day students.

Gu Yuan's seat was empty, and he hadn't come yet. Next to him was Wang Tian, ​​a resident student, who was lying on the table watching physics in the first year of high school.

The style of study in the class is very good, more disciplined and self-conscious than Ling Chao's previous school.Maybe it's because there are several grades, the most important rocket class naturally works harder than ordinary students.

Ling Chao took a copy of "Gone with the Wind" in English and read it. He didn't find anything he had forgotten when he reviewed the knowledge in the first two days before the start of the first year of high school. There is no need to hold his feet now.

Ling Chao has always been a person who combines work and rest. He doesn't like to study hard, he understands in class, and he can also do his own review and preview and some unique materials.But I will not buy a bunch of exercise brushes without classification like some students.

He used to spend most of his free time in the martial arts gym.The previous teacher also told him that if he worked harder, he would be number one in the school because of his intelligence.

After Wang Tian solved a problem, he raised his head to find Ling Chao coming, and squinted at the book in his hand.It's all in English, although it's not that he can't understand it completely, but he still can't read the original text directly.

Wang Tian put down his pen and looked at Ling Chao: "Hey! Ling Chao, I heard that your grades were very good in the past. In the office of the main department of the second year of high school yesterday, Erlin almost praised you and Gu Yuan."

"Is it that exaggerated? How can we say that our class is also a key rocket class in a key high school. All the good grades are here." Ling Chao said with a smile.

"In my opinion, if you can make Erlin boast, your grades must be very good. As far as the book you are reading now, Xiao Wei, who is the best in English in our class, might not be able to understand it." Wang Tianyi The face said sincerely.

Ling Chao could see that Wang Tian was praising him seriously, so he didn't know how to answer.Modesty is fake, pride cannot be done by himself.In the end, he just smiled and didn't speak.

Wang Tian didn't care, and got down on the ground to continue reading the questions.

After a while, a white crisper was placed on his desk, he looked up and saw it was Gu Yuan.

"Breakfast, remember to eat." Gu Yuan said softly, then went forward and sat down in his seat.

Ling Chao opened the lid, and there were six sandwiches cut into triangles neatly stacked inside.The bread slices should be buckwheat, with eggs, bacon, tomato slices and lettuce sandwiched in the middle.There are also red and yellowish sauces.

Ling Chao looked around, most of the students were studying, but some of them were having breakfast.He took a piece and bit it, it was sweet and salty, a little sour, but also a bit cool.Thought that red was ketchup, but it wasn't.Ling Chao had never tasted this kind of taste before, so it was a little unexpected surprise.Moreover, the fried eggs and bacon are very tender, and a simple sandwich also gives a different feeling.

Also, it suits my taste!

Ling Chao ate a piece for Wang Tian, ​​just now Wang Tian didn't notice that Gu Yuan came over, and asked him where he bought the sandwich, so he wanted to buy it himself.

Ling Chao said with a smile that this is a private custom, not for sale.It's a pity that Wang Chao was very full for breakfast, and he was a little full after eating a piece.Otherwise, he would have to eat another piece.

Ling Chao settled the three yuan before the morning reading bell rang, and put away the remaining two yuan, and waited until the morning reading was over before eating it.

The first two periods in the morning are mathematics.Mao Feng asked the class representative to put away the summer homework, explaining that there will be an exam tomorrow, and there will be no new class today, and he will go directly to self-study.

He sat on the podium and flipped through the stack of homework books casually, and the students who had questions would ask him by themselves.Ling Chao thought that no one would go, but there was still an endless stream of people asking questions.

There was no break between the two classes and they were taken directly.Ling Chao didn't have any homework from them, and he didn't bring the materials for the first year of high school, so he took out the math books for the second year of high school and flipped through them.There is no difficulty after reading the first chapter, he is a bit bored.Everyone around was looking down or writing seriously, and Ling Chao felt for a moment that he was not used to the new environment.

Gu Yuan kept his head buried, not knowing what he was doing. Ling Chao propped his head up with one hand to the side so that he could just stare at the back of his head. It was blank.

It was only after Wang Tian touched him suddenly that he came back to his senses, saying that there was a problem he couldn't solve, and wanted to ask him for help.

Ling Chao took the physics materials, carefully read the questions Wang Tian pointed out to him, picked up a pen and started to check the calculations on the straw paper.

This question was a bit out of line, but Ling Chao solved it quickly, and huddled together with Wang Tian to explain it to him in a low voice.

Finally, the two big classes were over, Mao Feng picked up the summer homework he had received, and shouted at Gu Yuan: "Gu Yuan, your teacher Du told you to go to the office now."

Gu Yuan responded, got up and walked outside.

Ling Chao originally wanted to find him during recess, but now he can only watch him leave, not knowing why Du Lin is looking for him.

Wang Tian stretched his waist, turned to Ling Chao and said, "Ling Chao, let's go, please drink some water."

"Oh, good." Ling Chao replied instinctively, and was pulled up by Wang Tian and left.

The military training in the first year of high school is not in the school district, maybe the school is not big enough.Heard about a training camp in the suburbs.

Ling Chao's previous school did not have military training in his first year of high school, and he has always longed for military training.Sometimes Dad's company will arrange for employees to do field training, and Ling Chao will follow him if he is on vacation.

The senior ones of No. [-] Middle School are on the top two floors, the third and fourth floors are senior twos, and the first and second floors are senior threes.Now the top is empty, and there are more people on the second and second floors.Going down, the corridor on the second floor seems quiet, but the playground is very lively, and there are still people rushing to play at this time.

"Ling Chao, you know Gu Yuan very well, right?" Wang Tian asked cautiously.

"Ah? I know you." Ling Chao didn't expect him to suddenly ask Gu Yuan.

"I heard that Daban and the others blocked you on the street yesterday. Are you all right? I see that Gu Yuan still has a wound on his jaw today." Wang Tian said.

Yeah?Wang Tian actually saw Gu Yuan's injury.I didn't come here early in the morning to ask about his injury. After cleaning his chin yesterday, it didn't look as serious as it was at the beginning, but this injury will become more obvious overnight.

"How did you know that Daban blocked us?" Ling Chao didn't even think about hiding it from Wang Tian, ​​so he followed his words.

"There is a buddy in the dormitory next door to me who knows Gu Yuan and Da Ban. He saw him outside yesterday. He said that Da Ban brought a group of people to block Gu Yuan, and there was a tall and handsome boy in black sportswear next to him. Gu Yuan was blocked together. I guess it should be you, didn't you two walk together yesterday." Wang Tian snorted: "That big board is our famous gangster. I heard that he used to be in the old city. He often troubled Gu Yuan, but Gu Yuan treated him badly, and I don’t know exactly how. It’s just that he came to the Xincheng side and often bullied the students of No. [-] Middle School and Qingyang Junior High School next door.”

Ling Chao walked forward with his head down, expressionless on his face, but thinking a lot in his heart.

The scene of yesterday's fight flashed through his mind again, Gu Yuan's injury, his outburst, and the terrified eyes of the man named Daban at the end.

Ling Chao has never had contact with this kind of person, after all, he is not the one looking for trouble.

He has always only socialized in his own circle, and although most people at school know him because of his appearance and grades, he is not a high-profile person.

According to Wang Tian's description, is this person really going to stop bothering them as he promised?

It would be best if it could be done, but if it couldn't be done...how should I deal with it?

He didn't want to get entangled with these people anymore. He came here to study, and he didn't want to show off how high his military strength was.What's more, he didn't even bother to fight with these people.

Seeing that Ling Chao hadn't spoken, Wang Tian said, "Is he really here to block you? Didn't you just transfer to our city? Why did you get involved? Or did that person come to block Gu Yuan to see you two together? Don't let it go? Are you two okay? I heard that he brought more than a dozen people."

Ling Chao turned his head and smiled at him: "It's okay, don't you see that we are both doing well today!" Ling Chao didn't want to talk to Wang Tian about what happened yesterday.He knew that the man named Daban didn't dare to come to them lightly, at least now.Wang Tian is a man of loyalty at first glance, there is no need to tell him too much, it will only increase trouble.In Ling Chao's view, the most important thing is for students to study, not to mention that everyone in the first class has good grades, and this kind of thing can be as far away as possible.I just don't know what Gu Yuan has experienced before.A person at a young age always pretends to be indifferent.Under normal circumstances, they just don't like to talk, but when they fight, they are full of ruthlessness.

When the two arrived at the small store, Ling Chao took two bottles of drinks casually and bought them together before Wang Tian paid.

"Hi! It's agreed that I'll treat you to a drink of water." Wang Tian looked at the cash register and said a little embarrassedly as he retrieved the change he handed to Ling Chao.

Ling Chao smiled: "It's okay, there will be a chance in the future. I'll bring a bottle for Gu Yuan too."

"That's okay, alas! Let's do it, let's go." Wang Tian unscrewed his own milk tea and took a sip.

Wang Tian didn't continue the topic just now, and told him a few little gossips in the dormitory after school started.Ling Chao responded occasionally, and the two walked slowly towards the classroom.

Gu Yuan hadn't come back yet, when Ling Chao walked past his desk, he put the drink on his desk, went back to his chair and sat down.

The phone rang, it was my mother's WeChat, asking him if he was used to the first day of class, Ling Chao leaned on the chair and chatted with his mother for a while.

The class bell rang, and the Chinese teacher, Mr. Zeng, came to class, but Gu Yuan hadn't come back yet.

What's taking so long?Could it be...?
