ninety-nine twelve

It was only after I transferred to this school that I realized that Wu Haoyu was also studying here.

The school was contacted by my dad, and I was sent back after the negotiation was settled. I even went through the admission procedures myself.At the teaching office that day, I asked the director to get a class student form, and I saw Wu Haoyu's name on it.

His name is very common, and there are countless people with the same name, so when I saw this name, I just remembered this person, and I didn't think that the person corresponding to this name would be him.I didn't recognize him until I saw him in the morning assembly team on the first day of school. It turned out that he was the Wu Haoyu I knew before.

Having said that, Wu Haoyu and I are still elementary school classmates.

It seems to be in the second grade, I kicked his new pair of white sneakers dirty, I forget whether it was on purpose, and then he rushed up to beat me, and the fight was hard, that's when I remember I used a ruler Scratched his back and bled a lot.

After that, my dad lost money, apologized, and beat me up when he got home.

On the day Wu Haoyu went back to school, I was going to apologize, but when I approached him, he stretched out his foot and tripped me. With the roar of laughter from the whole class, I fell quite Shame on me, I got angry all of a sudden, got up and grabbed his clothes and beat them together again, and the fight lasted for more than a year.

Later, my dad took me and my mom to Hong Kong because of work. He thought we would move back in a year or two at most, but unexpectedly we stayed there for nine years.

Nine years later, I came back, and the first person I met after I came back was Wu Haoyu.

The classroom was chaotic, everyone was busy with their own work, some were busy studying, some were busy resting, but Wu Haoyu didn't do anything important, he was lying on the table with a stack of papers, chatting with the people in the front seat .

I don't know whether Wu Haoyu is a grudge or an introvert. He sits at my front desk, but sometimes he can't say a word to me for a day. He doesn't want to recall his childhood, he doesn't want to reveal personal information. In short, he just doesn't want to talk to me.

It's a pity that I don't know the place well. In fact, I don't really want to talk to him, but I am among the new classmates in the new school. Apart from Wu Haoyu, I have no choice.

Wu Haoyu sometimes wears glasses in class. They are a pair of ordinary square glasses with dark gray plastic frames. The left eye is 100 degrees, and the right eye is 150 degrees with slight astigmatism. It took me a lot of effort to ask.

The first time I discovered Wu Haoyu wearing glasses was in a chemistry class. The head teacher gave a lecture and asked the students to discuss in groups. Man: "How much did you figure out?"

He wore a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose. I had never seen it before, so I became interested and asked, "Wu Haoyu, do you still wear glasses?"

As expected, he ignored me, and I didn't mind, so I continued to ask, "Why haven't I seen you wearing them? How old are you? It seems that you don't usually wear them, but you look good in glasses."

In fact, Wu Haoyu looks really good wearing glasses, he looks very knowledgeable.

I just caught Wu Haoyu and kept talking until the class teacher pointed me up: "Zhang Tianle, since you are a transfer student, I will ask you the basics, which elements are involved in this question?"

Coincidentally, I still have some basics, and I answered the questions smoothly. After the class teacher told me "don't discuss things that have nothing to do with class", I had to sit down.

After I sat down, Wu Haoyu moved his seat forward, as if he was afraid of bumping into me.

But Wu Haoyu is also quite strange.

After evening self-study and school, I will go to the playground for a run.At this time, the students have all gone home, and the school is quiet and there are no people. I can hear my own breathing more clearly when I am running, and then adjust the speed according to the breathing frequency.

Now there is no coach staring at me for training, only my dad and teachers who keep making me study hard. I think I probably haven’t adapted to this kind of freedom. I don’t know what to do, so I have to run and do what I am most familiar with. Make me feel better.

And ever since Wu Haoyu found out, he seemed to be worried about me running alone in school at night or something, and came to arrest me every three days. If he had any advice, he would just say it, but he didn't, he just came to have a look, Walk back and forth on the sidelines, but don't go home.

I was embarrassed by him, so I had to go home.

Since I couldn't run at night, I had to change to run one and a half hours after school in the afternoon to before self-study last night.This is all Wu Haoyu's fault, so I asked him to run with me, and as expected, he rejected me sternly: "Nervous, don't go."

Also, it would be strange if he wanted to.

Most of what I know about what will happen in this school comes from "hearing".I heard that the school will hold a sports meeting in early October, which is something that I have heard more about this time, and before that, another big event that I heard is the monthly exam at the end of September, which is also my transfer. The first monthly exam after coming to this school.

The next class is Chinese class, and it is also the last Chinese class for our class [-] head teacher. The old lady who went to investigate next week will be back.

At that time, when the teacher came to substitute the class, it happened to be the week I just transferred, so the new teacher and the old teacher were the same to me. Here comes the spirit.

This teacher surprised me at the beginning. Looking at the eyes of the students in the class, especially the boys, I thought she would be a young and beautiful female teacher, but now this one on the podium looks at her. In her 30s, she has a gentle and friendly face, not fierce at all. Although she is not a big beauty, she must be very different from the legendary old lady.

He is not fierce in appearance, and he is not fierce in person. After a few classes, I can also feel the reason why this teacher is popular with students.She is kind, and her teaching is clear and organized. It was a boring Chinese class, but she made it quite interesting, because she is young, and she speaks more interestingly. Students doze off in class and don't listen to lectures, nor scold them. It has passed, and I never procrastinate the class. Regardless of whether the content will be finished, the class will end on time when the bell is ringing, which is very reasonable.But also because of her young qualifications, she had only been teaching in the grades before, and only took up the heavy responsibility in the third year of high school. It was the first time she became the head teacher. This good thing fell to the head of the [-]th class. The other classes are also envious.

During the two weeks that she was acting as a substitute teacher, I was never punished for failing to memorize books, hand in homework, or answer questions. I've been to the office, and I think she's just a substitute and I'm just a borrower, so she doesn't bother to take care of me.

Before the last class ended, she said a few words to everyone: "I shouldn't say this, new students in your class, this monthly exam is the first monthly exam after you came to our school , don't be nervous, don't be burdened, take your time, and don't put pressure on other students. Before June next year, you still have countless exams, big and small. No matter what the subject is, try your best and do well in the exam Okay, if it’s not good, it’s not good, it’s just a test for yourself, don’t pay too much attention to the ranking, but you still have to be careful when reviewing, it’s a great honor to teach you a few weeks, I wish you all the best results in this monthly exam.”

After she finished speaking, the students in the class applauded spontaneously.

Even the teacher in charge never told me this.From the first day I came to report, and was stopped by her after the flag-raising ceremony, until now, every time I said it was to let me adapt to the learning environment here as soon as possible, and catch up with the progress of my classmates as soon as possible. Things like not handing in homework were named and criticized several times.And it's the first time I've heard such words as "take your time" and "it's okay if it's good, and it's not good if it's not good".

Every exam prepared in this grade is for the preparation for the college entrance examination next year, and my situation is a bit special. I study in this school, but my student status is still in Hong Kong. The education system is different, so I don’t need to I can't take the college entrance examination in the mainland, so these exams are meaningless to me, but the exams that are meaningless to me are meaningful to my class and the teachers teaching in this class, and the meaning is the score and ranking.

In the afternoon, the track and field team rarely had to practice. I stayed in the classroom for self-study class. The class leader walked up to the podium, cleared his throat, and said, "Let me say a few words. Today is the last time the head teacher of class [-] will give us a Chinese class. Everyone I should be very reluctant. The old lady will be back next week. We have nothing to do, so we will use our grades to speak. We are a science class, but I hope that everyone will work hard in this monthly exam, especially Chinese. We will strive for a single subject in Chinese. Do you think it's okay to get into the top three in the whole class?"

The audience unanimously agreed and said "yes", everyone seemed to have been beaten with chicken blood, but I heard one head and two big, and didn't make a sound, but Wu Haoyu in front of me, holding his head with one hand and writing with the other hand, didn't respond .

After class, Wu Haoyu rarely thought of me behind him, leaned back, turned his head and said to me: "Don't stress, they're just kidding."

My progress was not at 01:30, not to mention the monthly exam, and I was still awkwardly switching between traditional and simplified Chinese characters. I rested my chin on the table and looked up at him discouragedly, "I'm not stressed. .”

"It's best." Wu Haoyu sat back after finishing speaking.

As soon as school was over, Wu Haoyu turned around again and threw a stack of Chinese textbooks over by him, "I folded the corners of the ancient prose and poems to be memorized, and I also drew out the key sentences that may be tested, you can read them yourself , the interpretation is also the key point, you have to memorize it.”

"Just give up on the basic multiple-choice questions, and choose whichever one doesn't please you."

"You can fill in the blanks, short answers, reading comprehension, etc. You can write whatever you want. This kind of question depends on luck, so don't leave it blank."

"Write five paragraphs, write your point of view in the first paragraph, write the reason for your view in the second paragraph, then give an example, write the second reason in the third paragraph, give an example, write the third reason in the fourth paragraph , For example, reiterate your point of view in the fifth paragraph, make up [-] words, and it's over."

"If you write traditional Chinese, write faster, otherwise two and a half hours is not enough for you to write."

"Don't worry too much. Everyone is focused on the school sports meeting. This monthly exam will definitely regress."

"Compatriots, you don't have a choice to enter the science class, but maybe you are a material for studying liberal arts?"

While preparing for the monthly exam, Wu Haoyu had other things to do.

He said he was a life committee member. At first I thought he was an official in the class, but then I realized that he was just a handyman.What he said was right, he was in charge of all the trivial matters, he had to hang up the curtains when they fell, he had to check the air conditioner was broken, and it was his business to order class uniforms and class flags for the school sports meeting.

The cultural and entertainment committee and a few female students who had painted pictures designed the patterns and styles together, while Wu Haoyu and the others were responsible for the steps of budgeting, contacting manufacturers, comparing quotations, comparing samples, and finally selecting a manufacturer for shipment.

Wu Haoyu was so busy with this matter that he ran out every three days and disappeared during lunch breaks and after school for several consecutive days.

On Friday, for the first time, I saw him still in the classroom during lunch break, and asked, "Are you done?"

"Well, get the goods next week."

"Then you go for a run with me this afternoon?"

I was just asking a routine question, but I was rejected countless times, and I never expected him to come. I didn't expect that this time he would readily agree: "Okay." Probably because I was too surprised, Wu Haoyu added One sentence: "As long as you don't make class uniforms, you can do anything."

After the track and field training in the afternoon, I didn't disband to eat like most people, but went back to the track and continued to do physical exercises.I used to do endurance running during training, with a daily basis of 2000 kilometers. Although the school team will also have warm-up exercises and physical training, but due to time and venue constraints, after running [-] meters, I will enter the targeted training. I ran After so many years of ten kilometers, the body may be a little addicted, and suddenly I ran less, but I didn't adapt to it.

There are not too many people on campus at this time. Just after school, the students are rushing to eat, and there are very few people on the playground. Only the students who were playing ball are not satisfied.

Although Wu Haoyu had already said that he would come to run with him, when he actually came down from the teaching building and showed up on the playground on time, I was still surprised for a while.

He walked towards me, passed me again, and left a sentence: "Fuck you, look what I am doing." After that, he entered the stadium, greeted the people in one of the games, and joined the game.

I knew it was impossible for Wu Haoyu to come to run with me willingly.

The whole school seems to be excited about the school sports meeting. This time even the head teacher pays special attention to me. It’s like picking up some treasure. I usually practice sprinting. There are so many men in the science class. It seemed that there was no one left. Each class in one event was only divided into two entries, and everyone could only apply for two entries. Only me, from 50 meters to 1500 meters to the relay, was able to participate in everything.I was unconvinced and asked around. It seems that everyone in the track and field team is treated like this, and the training will be adjusted accordingly from next week. Anyone who has signed up for the running event will have a burst of physical fitness, and the load will be too heavy.But having said that, the school sports meeting is not a big game after all, so I didn't take it too seriously.

The number of people gradually increased.The stadium is full of people playing ball, and there are circles of people on the track who are eating and walking to digest food. The scattered students in the playground are standing, sitting and resting. The effect of exercise is very bad, but I have no choice, I can only run at this time.Thinking of this, I got angry again, Wu Haoyu was all to blame.

I looked into the stadium and saw Wu Haoyu yelling at me.

"Ah?" I didn't hear what he said, so I stopped and ran to his side in two or three steps.

"I said, it's been thirty laps, is it endless?"

I was taken aback again. Wu Haoyu went to play ball after he got off the playground. He didn’t even watch me run. Every time I passed by him, I almost didn’t make eye contact with him. I asked, “How do you know? Did you count?”

"I just know, stop talking nonsense, do you still want to eat?"

I looked up at the clock tower, it was already almost 06:30, self-study started at [-] o'clock in the evening, and I was in a hurry to have a meal. I was thinking about the time randomly, and suddenly I realized that Wu Haoyu was inviting me to have dinner together ?

"I rely on Wu Haoyu, can I have dinner with you?"

He frowned slightly, looking at me like he was crazy.

I ignored his dislike, feeling like I was overwhelmed, and put my arm on his shoulder excitedly, but I was so happy that I urged, "Let's go, let's eat."

Wu Haoyu walked and greeted people all the way. I still didn’t know anyone in this school, and I didn’t know anyone. I didn’t know which grade or class the person Wu Haoyu greeted was from. I saw the situation clearly, leaned up to him, and asked meanly: "Brother Yu, are you the boss in this school?"

Wu Haoyu returned to the state of ignoring me.

"Don't, don't ignore me, Brother Yu, or Brother Yu, you don't like this name? What about Brother Hao? How about Brother Hao?"

Wu Haoyu still didn't answer me, but only shouted into the distance: "Big snake, let's go and eat together."

As soon as I turned my head, I saw that guy dangling under the tree not far away to enjoy the shade, looking like nothing happened.I hurriedly shut my mouth, but I sighed in my heart, Wu Haoyu is really good, after so many years, it is not easy to hate him as much as I did when I was a child.
