growing up

Mom left, and Ling Chao was alone in the house again.There are still two days left before leaving school, and the school sent him homework for the summer vacation before, but they are all finished.

These days, he hasn't even touched a textbook.For the last two days, just stay at home and read the books.Although he is not worried about how his studies will be affected, it is always good to review and review.

Ling Chao was still used to waking up early in the morning to exercise. He accidentally ran into Gu Yuan in the community that day. He seemed to be saying that he was a tutor?Forget it, don't think about it, it's better to suppress some thoughts deep in my heart as soon as possible.He didn't go downstairs for the morning exercise, he just ran around the room and punched.

September [-]st finally arrived.The weather is good today. When I woke up in the morning, the sun shone through the curtains into the bedroom, and it was warm and sunny.Ling Chao packed up some formalities and put them in his backpack, put on a black sportswear, and set off for school.

It wasn't too early for Ling Chao to come, the bustling outside was crowded with students who came to report.Some students who seemed to be from a distance dragged their large bags of luggage into it accompanied by their parents.Many students who should be acquainted gathered together in small groups to talk and laugh.

The summer vacation in the north is shorter than that in the south, but it lasts for more than a month. The students who usually stay together all day are suddenly separated, and now there are always endless things to talk about.

Ling Chao came to report alone, so he felt a little lonely, but soon he adjusted his mood. After all, this school will be the place where he will stay for two years in the future, and the students here can also become his friends.

Ling Chao walked into the school gate, stepped aside to find a place with few people, picked up his mobile phone, and dialed the number of the head teacher that his father had sent him.

The phone rang once and was picked up.A nice female voice came from the microphone.

"Hi, hello, I'm Du Lin. Who are you?"

"Hello, Teacher Du, I'm Ling Chao, a transfer student in your class." Ling Chao replied quickly.

"Oh, Ling Chao, have you come to school?" Du Lin asked.

"Well, I'm here, where do I need to find you?" Ling Chao said.

"Go directly to the leftmost office on the third floor of the teaching building. It's the big teaching building facing the school gate." Du Lin said.

"En, good." Ling Chao said.

"Alright then, I'll wait for you in the office." After Du Lin finished speaking, she hung up the phone.

The head teacher is a woman, but my dad mentioned it before.But the voice is very young.I don't know if this high school science key class can be managed.

Ling Chao smiled, he seemed to be a little too worried.Go and see first.

The teaching building is also very lively now, there are noisy voices everywhere, and everyone's face is filled with excitement that the school has just started.

Ling Chao went up to the third floor along the stairs on the left.

The sign outside the leftmost one reads High Second Language Mathematics Office.It should be here.The door was open, and there were teachers behind many desks, and several students were standing in front of the desks.Compared with the hustle and bustle outside, the office is considered a quiet place.Only the few teachers with students were giving orders in a low voice.

Ling Chao took a quick glance. There were quite a few female teachers, and he didn't know which one was Du Lin.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door, calling "Report".All the eyes in the room looked at him.

A male teacher near the door smiled and asked, "Student, which teacher are you looking for?"

Ling Chao was about to speak, when he saw a female teacher in her 20s waving to him behind the desk in the middle: "Ling Chao, right? Come, come, come, I'm Du Lin."

Du Lin is very beautiful, with a baby face, and her chestnut hair in the middle is scattered on her back. While pinning it behind her ears, she waved her hand on her face as she raised her head, and was pressed by her hand again.There is a smile in the big eyes.

"Hey, Xiao Du, this is one of the top students transferred from our class this year." The male teacher at the door joked with a smile. "Children nowadays are well nourished. They are so tall and handsome."

Ling Chao walked in with a smile and stood in front of Du Lin's desk.

"Hello, Teacher Du, I'm Ling Chao."

"Well, I met your father last year, and I also learned about your situation." Du Lin said softly. "I've been your class teacher for the past two years. I teach English. You come here to school alone. If you have any problems in life, you can come to me at any time. The person at the door just now is our class's math teacher, named Mao Feng." As he spoke, he pointed at the teacher who just talked to him with his finger.

Ling Chao turned around and shouted politely, "Hello, Teacher Mao."

"The one next to me is the Chinese teacher in our class—Mr. Zeng Guoping." Du Lin pointed to the male teacher next to him who had been watching him.

Ling Chao hurriedly followed the introduction and bent slightly to the uncle who looked about 50 years old: "Hello, Teacher Zeng."

"Okay, okay, we have added two strong generals to our first class this year." Zeng Guoping said kindly with a smile.

"The science teacher is not in this office, let's get to know each other slowly in the future." Du Lin tilted her neck and said to Mao Feng who was at the door: "Brother Mao, you will be free now, why don't you help me take Ling Chao to the door first?" The paperwork is done. I have to wait for another one."

"Success, no problem." Mao Feng said and stood up, "Let's go, Ling Chao, I'll take you there."

Ling Chao thanked Du Lin, went over to thank Mao Feng first, and then followed him to go through the formalities.

Because Dad handled it very well before, the rest of the procedures are also very simple, only needing some links of his own signature, and then paying miscellaneous fees.With the help of Mao Feng, it didn't take long to get it done.

When I returned to the office, there was another boy standing in front of Du Lin's desk.With his back to the door, he was talking to Du Lin.

This should be another strong player mentioned by several teachers.

But why is this background so familiar?

When Ling Chao approached and saw clearly who the person in front of him was, various voices suddenly appeared in his mind.

I'll go, this is Gu Yuan!

This is too coincidental!

Gu Yuan is a sophomore in high school!

How come you are in the same class as yourself when you are so young!

The last time I saw him reading high school materials, didn't he still say that he was not a high school student?

What is the situation!

"The principal has already given special approval for not going to the evening self-study. There is no problem here." Du Lin was still telling him.

"Thank you teacher." Gu Yuan thanked obediently.

Ling Chao stood beside him, and Gu Yuan also saw him, but he didn't show any special reaction. He raised his head, smiled at Ling Chao, and turned to listen to Du Lin.

"Ling Chao, you've done it very quickly." Du Lin looked at Ling Chao and said.

"Well, Teacher Mao took it with me, and it went smoothly." Ling Chao returned to his senses.

"This is Gu Yuan, who came to our class this semester just like you, but he is a skipping student, so he was supposed to be in the third year of junior high school. He is a special recruit of our school." Du Lin introduced to them.

It turned out to be the case.

Ling Chao was in a good mood all of a sudden, he didn't know if it was because all doubts were solved or because Gu Yuan would be a classmate with him in the future.

Du Lin packed up a few folders, stood up and said, "That's fine, I'll take you to the class first."

Du Lin walked in front, and her leather shoes with roots made a rattling sound when they stepped on the ground. There were many students in the corridor on the third floor. When they saw her, they all politely shouted "Hello, Teacher Du!"

Ling Chao and Gu Yuan followed her, walking side by side behind her.

"You..." Ling Chao glanced at Gu Yuan and said, "So you skipped a grade?"

"Yeah." Gu Yuan replied.

"I jumped two levels, so amazing. Why didn't I hear you mention it before?" Ling Chao said.

"Didn't you ask?" Gu Yuan said.

"I asked two days ago, didn't you say that you are not a high school student?" Ling Chao said.

"School has not started yet, and I did not go to high school." Gu Yuan said.

"That's right. Usually, I've seen those who skipped one level. This is the first time I've met someone who skipped two levels. It seems that you study very well." Ling Chao said with a smile.

Gu Yuan didn't answer, probably because he didn't know how to answer.Turning his head to look at Ling Chao, he only smiled softly.

The two followed Du Lin, walked through the entire third floor, and stopped in front of the first classroom on the far right.The doorplate said "Senior Grade Two ([-]) Class".

At this moment, the classroom was full of people, and it was noisy. Du Lin didn't go in directly, but raised her hand and knocked on the door. The sound was not too low.

Everyone saw Du Lin and quickly returned to their seats.

It seems that this young female teacher is quite convinced by her classmates.

Du Lin walked in and stood in front of the podium, and beckoned Ling Chao and Gu Yuan to go in.

The eyes of the whole class began to stare at them.There is inquiry, there is curiosity.There are still a few whispers talking.

When they were standing next to Du Lin, they turned around and pressed their hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

"These are two new students transferred from our class. Let's welcome them first." Du Lin said and started applauding, which lasted for about ten seconds before stopping.

Du Lin turned her head and asked, "You two introduce yourself, whoever comes first."

Ling Chao looked at Gu Yuan, saw that he had no expression on his face, so he took a small step forward and said, "Hi everyone, my name is Ling Chao. I am 17 years old and transferred to our school from City H. I will be with you in the next two years. I am studying here. Please take care of me. Thank you!"

Ling Chao bowed, and the applause rang out again.

Gu Yuan's temper was much colder, so he simply said his name and it was over.

But the enthusiasm of the students remained undiminished, and they also responded with warm applause.

After the introduction of the new classmates, Du Lin looked at the seating situation in the classroom, and there were only two vacancies in the last two rows of the group inside.She told them to sit down first.

"Let's sit like this today, and we'll adjust the seat after the school exams the day after tomorrow." Du Lin said.

There will be an exam so soon, but the students in the class seem to be used to it. The boy sitting next to Ling Chao is very enthusiastic. I don’t know if he can see his doubts: "This is the tradition of our No. [-] Middle School. The third day of each semester begins. I know how to take the exam. However, the first year of high school is after the military training, and the third year of high school will take the exam during the summer vacation, and the exams at this time are all our sophomores."

"That's it. My previous school didn't have such regulations, it's quite new." Ling Chao said with a smile.

"Our class is not a class that is afraid of exams. After all, the Rockets class is not a bragging class." The deskmate said a little proudly.

Ling Chao thinks about it too, the key high school key class.No one should be afraid of exams.It's no wonder that Du Lin said that everyone's reaction to the school exam was mediocre.

I don't know what level I will be in this class.The previous school was better than this school, and Lingchao was able to maintain the level of the top five in every exam in the first year of senior high school.I have also been number one, but not every time I get it.In the office just now, listening to the tone of several teachers, Gu Yuan's grades should also be very good.Otherwise, it is impossible to skip two levels casually.Still skipped the very important third grade.

"How did you transfer to our school? Isn't city H in province C? It's so far away." The boy next to him asked softly.

"Oh, my ancestral home is here. If I want to take the college entrance examination, I come here to study in advance." Ling Chao explained patiently.

"So it's like this!" The boy had an expression that I understood: "Do you know him? He's just a new classmate who just came with you." He pointed at Gu Yuan's back as he spoke.

"Huh? He introduced himself just now." Ling Chao didn't say that he and Gu Yuan knew each other before.

"I went to the same school as him in junior high school, and he is as small as me! I heard that he has excellent grades before, but I didn't expect to skip a grade and go to the first middle school and the second year of high school." The boy next to him was a little excited when he mentioned Gu Yuan: "Besides, he also Not an easy student to provoke. Regardless of his young age, no one dared to provoke him in the old city. He often fought in the first year of junior high school, but he did not cause trouble at school, and the school has always turned a blind eye to him Only one eye. If you have good grades, you will be favored more.”

Gu Yuan was sitting in front of Ling Chao, with a person in the middle. He was sitting upright on the chair, listening carefully to Du Lin's speech on the podium.Gu Yuan's hair is very stiff, and every inch of hair stands on end, unlike Ling Chao, which falls down no matter how short it is cut.

This is the first time Ling Chao has heard of Gu Yuan from other people, and the current deskmate still looks adoring him.Ling Chao really wanted to find out what kind of person he was.

She didn't stop until Du Lin started to roll the roll.
