Qin Zhixin sighed, feeling somewhat worried. She held Yang Qichao's math notebook upright.
"Then you might as well just let your mind wander, don't think about anything, just let your thoughts run wild, and then review when you get back. If you know math, you know it, and if you don't, you don't know it. No matter how much effort you put into it, it might not be as effective as praying."
"Ah, right, right. You'll regret not paying attention when you're in the exam room, right?"
Qin Zhixin rolled her eyes, but her charming little face looked like she was flirting. Fang Bixian awkwardly noticed a swelling somewhere in his body and quickly adjusted his sitting position. Qin Zhixin noticed, and after a meaningful glance at Fang Bixian's body part, she sat up straighter, thrusting forward a pair of surging, mountainous bodies, bulging outwards, threatening to burst through the confines of his shirt.
Fang Bixian took a deep breath and forced his brother to calm down.
"Not really. You didn't have much room to fall behind in the class in the last exam, so it's okay. Just don't worry about the exam, it's impossible to do worse than you did on the entrance exam."
"Hey, you son of a bitch, you're talking so sweetly. My grades can't go down, so no matter how I go, I'm going up, right?"
Qin Zhixin widened her almond-shaped eyes and looked at Fang Bixian in disbelief. How could this guy say such hurtful words when he was reacting to her?
"Actually, there's still room for improvement. You have to look at the long term. Rankings aren't limited to just the class. If you look at the grade level, there's a vast world of potential."
Fang Bixian continued to finish him off. Qin Zhixin gasped when she heard it. She was so angry that her teeth ached.
Chapter 95 Murphy's Law
Zhang Wanbai left the gymnasium because it was too noisy and she couldn't concentrate on her reading. She didn't know what was going on, but she seemed to be in a bad mood again. Not long after, Qin Zhixin was also called away by Zhou Xinshu, saying that the team leader had something to deal with.
After Qin Zhixin walked away, Fang Bixian leaned back in his seat as if he was deflated.
Fang Bixian had recovered now. His penis was no longer swollen, and he could sit more freely. He leaned his head against the schoolbag Qin Zhixin had thrown beside the chair. The books in the bag were knocking against his head, causing him to hurt.
Fang Bixian picked up the bag Qin Zhixin had dropped beside her seat, dusted it off, and pulled out a novel. The moment he pulled it out, a bag of pork jerky fell to the ground. He bent down, picked up the pork jerky, and stuffed it into her bag, but he didn't put the novel back.
It was a novel titled "Intestines." Fang Bixian slumped down in his seat and flipped through it. It was a collection of short stories. He read with a rather uninhibited attitude. Liu Qinxiong, sitting next to him, stopped poring over his vocabulary book. He closed Zhang Wanbai's book and casually tossed it onto Zhang Wanbai's desk, teasing Fang Bixian's distraught expression.
"Hey! Why is classmate Qin also calling you "Master"? She didn't get angry when you mocked her for doing poorly on the test. I think you two really have a special relationship."
Liu Qinxiong had seen the conversation between Qin Zhixin and Fang Bixian clearly. He thought Fang Bixian was quite something. Using the phrase "vast world with great potential" to describe Qin Zhixin's potential for decline was practically a direct insult. Liu Qinxiong honestly thought that if someone had teased him about his grades, he would have been furious. But he hadn't expected Qin Zhixin to actually be so amused.
Although Liu Qinxiong was the squad leader, he spoke to Qin Zhixin very seldom. He only knew that Qin Zhixin was said to have a good temper, but he didn't know she could be so good-tempered.
"It's all because of you guys. You called me that so often that she started calling me that too. And stop talking nonsense. Qin Zhixin and I have nothing to do with each other. She's different from other girls. If you don't look at her appearance, you could easily mistake her for a boy."
Fang Bixian said this calmly, but to Liu Qinxiong it sounded like bragging.
"How is that possible? You'd have to be blind not to notice Qin's appearance, right? You just keep talking nonsense all day long. Oh, and did you smell a nice fragrance on her? Is she wearing perfume?"
"No, that's the smell of her body. She's usually, uh, pretty hasty in her actions. You'll understand if you spend enough time with her. Except for yesterday, I haven't seen her do anything with her face. She just wears nicer clothes."
"Qin Zhixin looks beautiful in any outfit, okay? She'd look beautiful even in a sack. I always thought she was secretly wearing perfume."
Qiao Hua couldn't help but interrupt. "Brother Xiong, you don't know that's called body odor. You don't understand. I've been smelling that for about a month now. Xinxin always has that scent, and besides, all those people who wear perfume are irritating to my nose. In my junior high school, there was a girl who didn't study. She dressed up every day, painted all over her face, and made herself look like a ghost. The perfume on her body could kill mosquitoes."
Liu Qinxiong was a bit surprised, but then he thought, if beautiful women really do have body odor, then someone as stunning as Qin Zhixin would be the perfect person to have it. "Does anyone really have body odor? Holy shit, if that were the case, then Qin University's campus beauty would truly be the best of the best. Damn, that Yang Qichao from Class 4 is going to be so damn happy from now on!"
"Fuck, Brother Xiong, don't mention that guy from Class 4. Campus romance definitely won't last long."
Qiao Hua was as excited as a dog whose tail was stepped on. He cursed the non-existent relationship between Qin Zhixin and Yang Qichao in a vicious voice. He remembered something and whispered.
"By the way, you didn't notice Li Jinjin either? Qin Zhixin wore a light green round-necked dress before, and she came here wearing the same one today. The same with her hairstyle. Before, she had big perms and her hair was always left undone, but now that Qin Zhixin has a ponytail, she's wearing one too."
Qiao Hua stole a glance in Li Jinjin's direction. She was sitting in the back of Class 3's playground, chatting with a few boys, laughing her head off. The boys from Class 3 were very close to her, one even putting his hand on her shoulder.
Qiao Hua lowered his head and continued in a low voice. "She was hanging out with a boy yesterday. I saw them kissing under the rockery in front of the toilet when I went to pee."
Liu Qinxiong was speechless. He knew many girls in the class would deliberately imitate Qin Zhixin, but Qiao Hua's picking on the second-prettiest girl in the class was a bit ambiguous, as if he had some dirty thoughts. Furthermore, Qiao Hua had been silent when Qin Zhixin was around, but after she left, he started talking again. It looked like he had the urge to do something lewd but not the guts.
"Hua Zi, just be careful not to say too much. Be careful not to get word out to Li Jinjin. She's on good terms with a lot of people in the class. What if someone tells you off?"
After Liu Qinxiong finished speaking, he lowered his voice and winked at Fang Bixian and Qiao Hua, motioning them to come closer. Only when they were closer did Liu Qinxiong speak again.
"Li Jinjin had affairs with several boys in junior high school. One boy even broke his bones in pursuit of her. Furthermore, she's now hooking up with a senior from her sophomore year."
Fang Bixian was extremely disgusted. "No, Gao Er and we are not in the same building. How did she get in touch? During physical education class?"
"Who knows? Lu Zude knows that senior. He's taking the Physics Olympiad. Lu Zude told me that senior and Li Jinjin are together. They have intensive training for the competition during evening self-study, so Li Jinjin often waits for that senior after class."
He made a "tsk" sound and then spoke. "Oh my god, Lu Zude is really tight-lipped. The guy who kissed Li Jinjin was a senior in the second year of high school?"
"It's hard to say. Do you feel that Li Jinjin is a bit weird?"
"What? Just tell me, squad leader."
Qiao Hua leaned over and looked at Li Jinjin again. Li Jinjin was talking to a familiar-looking boy. The boy was quite fair-skinned, and Li Jinjin was being very intimate with him.
"It's a bit of an open-minded approach."
Liu Qinxiong also secretly glanced in the direction of Li Jinjin, who was smiling at the boys in Class 3 whom she didn't know.
Fang Bixian snorted coldly. He didn't like Li Jinjin very much. "You mean you're fickle, right? And you're not turning her down. Can't you see the sting in your words, Liu Qinxiong?"
Liu Qinxiong quickly denied it. "Master, can you describe it like that? Then why don't you just say that Qin Zhixin also accepts everyone who comes to you?"
"What the hell are you thinking about? Qin Zhixin and I talk most about game bugs. Yesterday, she asked me about my phone, saying she wanted to upgrade. Besides, she'll just show it to others. I can't stop her from making dirty jokes, and then she can throw resources at me. Qin Zhixin is the type of person you'd like to date, but after talking to her for a while, you'll find it hard to think of her as a girl. So what does Li Jinjin talk about with others?"
"I haven't talked to Li Jinjin, but she's really popular. What phone does Qin Zhixin want to buy? A iPhone 5S? That's the latest one, and I think girls really like iPhones."
"No, it's a little brand called Meizu. She said the hardware is high-end. To me, it sounds like a brand that will be short-lived."
Qiao Hua rubbed his chin before speaking. "I did speak to Li Jinjin. She asked me to help carry water. She was very polite."
"Hey, you say nice things to people's faces, but I don't know what they're thinking behind their backs. Have you noticed that Li Jinjin is very proactive, wanting others to think they're good enough for her? Remember when Zhao Jiajun was giving her extra lessons, he kept chatting her up and went to see her as soon as class was over. Did she refuse him then? Zhao Jiajun is such a jerk. He brought her breakfast every day and even gave her a brand-name bracelet, and she accepted everything. People from the next class often gave her gifts, and she accepted them too. But how many people have you seen giving Qin Zhixin gifts?"
Liu Qinxiong shook his head blankly. Qiao Hua thought for a moment before speaking. "I remember there was one. Someone gave her a pen before, but she threw it away."
"That's normal. Most people can't even add her Penguin account. Qiao Hua, haven't you added her Penguin account yet? Just for example, look at the phone Qin Zhixin uses. She said she built it herself using parts and flashed it to Android. If she was like Li Jinjin, would she be so stingy?"
"Great Immortal, why do you have such a strong opinion about Li Jinjin?"
"I think she looks greedy and stupid and vulgar."
Qiao Hua gritted his teeth, unable to understand Fang Bixian's inexplicable hostility towards Li Jinjin. Li Jinjin was beautiful, and before Qin Zhixin came, she was the prettiest girl in their second class. Back then, when the students in the dormitory weren't very familiar with each other, the topic of conversation about Li Jinjin came up, and Fang Bixian clearly didn't dislike her that much at the time.
"Forget it, forget it, Master. If you keep saying that, Li Jinjin will really hear about it. By the way, squad leader, have you seen Zhou Dahong?"
"No, what's wrong? Did he run outside?"
"He said he wanted to teach Tan Peiyue a lesson. Yesterday, during the quiz, Tan Peiyue deliberately tore a corner of Zhou Dahong's notebook, which really pissed him off. I thought he was going to pick a fight with her. Look, Tan Peiyue is still there."
Fang Bixian's expression was serious. "Stop pointing fingers at Jinhua. It's disrespectful."
"What's wrong? Why are Tan Peiyue and Zhou Dahong so disrespectful?"
"You're just here for fun. For now, Zhou Dahong and Zhao Jiajun are the only ones suffering. Switch seats immediately. Next time you sit in Zhou Dahong's seat, you'll definitely be in for a treat."
Qiao Hua gasped. "Old Zhang didn't even mention changing seats. Besides, if they do, it'll probably just be a minor adjustment. Then Zhou Dahong will continue to be unlucky and end up marrying those two golden girls. You're just afraid of everything, Master."
Liu Qinxiong didn't share the same dorm, but he'd heard about the "persecution" inflicted on Zhou Dahong by Tan Peiyue and Chu Keke. When Fang Bixian mentioned the seat change, he chimed in. "Hua Zi, I can't say for sure. Zhou Dahong has already contacted the homeroom teacher several times, and each time he's been asking for a seat change. I think he'll be able to escape this ordeal next time."
Qiao Hua was a little scared when he heard this. "Fuck, Xiong Ge, Daxian, stop scaring me. I still want to sit behind Xinxin."
"I didn't say anything, it's all your fault. But there's a theory called Murphy's Law: the more you hope something bad doesn't happen, the higher the chances of it happening."
Qiao Hua was furious when he heard this. "Fuck, that Mo Fei guy is such a piece of shit!"
Chapter 96 Young Mu Ai
Li Jing sat in front of the volunteer service desk. There was no one sitting next to him, which should have been the seat for Qin Zhixin. There was no one he wanted to see.
Today, Li Jing didn't wear the small suit that he thought was formal and respectable. He didn't even wear his school uniform. He wore his most familiar pair of jeans and the wrinkled cotton jacket. He felt that this was the most comfortable outfit. The cotton jacket had a greasy smell on it, which made him calm down.
Even though he had already decided in his heart that Qin Zhixin would not come again today, he still couldn't help but glance at the empty seat beside him from time to time.
Li Jing was looking forward to her arrival. In the next moment, a girl as agile as the wind would sit next to him. He even brought his "Dimitovic Advanced Mathematics Problems" today.
But Qin Zhixin did not show up.
Li Jing even began to doubt his own memory. Was that close encounter yesterday real? Was that conversation with her real? Did the girl who spoke fluent Russian to him really exist?
Qin Zhixin was as beautiful as a dream. For the young boy Mu Ai, there was always a fantasy character that he could never forget that appeared in his mind over and over again.
Li Jing felt that Qin Zhixin was just such a "fantasy character." Perhaps the memory of her sitting at this table with him yesterday was a false one, just as the memory of seeing Rei Ayanami, dressed in red, smiling at him when he opened the cabinet door was a false one. But it was just a dream, even daydreams, and people eventually wake up. Only when they wake up do they realize they've slept. Qin Zhixin was an unrealistic dream to him, but the ripples she stirred made it clear to Li Jing that it was all just a mirage.
Li Jing smiled mockingly. He liked Qin Zhixin, and he thought it was normal. It was common for well-developed men to like beautiful women; it was a natural law.
Today, the playground was a bit chaotic, with few people maintaining order. Many students who should have been sitting in the stands were out on the field, making a commotion. They didn't care what place their classmates had won in the school sports meet; they just wanted to have fun, not even knowing what they were having fun for.
But Li Jing just felt that their noise distracted him.
Although Li Jing is only in high school, he feels that he needs to know something. There are some things he knows he doesn't know, but there are some things he feels he should know, such as the feeling of "liking".
For Li Jing, the person he once loved died young, and he himself didn't know the specific definition of "love." Maybe it was just a racing heartbeat, but who could explain it? After all, it was an intangible thing, so he couldn't say that liking someone was just about the crotch.
He experienced a moment of "love" when he was still in junior high school, but it was more of a loss, or numbness.
Junior high school students gathered together, naively, at the age of first falling in love. People at this age are always accustomed to pretending, and they think that possessing some constructed illusion is a real entity.
At that time, Li Jing was not fat yet. He was studying at Xianling Junior High School affiliated to Nanling Foreign Language School.
Xianling Junior High School sounds like a public school, but it's actually private. Li Jing's family had to use a lot of connections to get him in. Li Jing doesn't remember the tuition, but it's quite expensive. His father said that the cost of a year's tuition and other miscellaneous expenses was close to 100,000 yuan, which was a considerable burden for his family.
There, he fell in love with a classmate who always loved to wear makeup. Her family was in the photovoltaic business, and before her family incident, she was the owner of the third largest photovoltaic company in Nanling City. He now knew that the girl's makeup style was called European and American makeup, but he didn't know that before; he just thought she had a unique personality.
It's funny to say that those who come from wealthy families and are spoiled by their elders, are born with stereotyped "personalities" that are all the same.
The girl's father drove a state-of-the-art Mercedes-Benz S600, a truly impressive luxury car with air suspension, power doors, and a built-in refrigerator. Although Li Jing's family had some money, his father only drove a Cadillac. Compared to the Mercedes-Benz S600, it was like the difference between an illiterate redneck from America and a respectable old European aristocrat.
This was indeed the case. The car of the girl he liked was worth at least ten of his own. When the price difference between similar vehicles reached five times or more, price wasn't the issue; class was. Private schools were clearly divided into classes, and "liking" was also based on class.
Li Jing belongs to the lower middle class, and that girl belongs to the upper class. Although they are in the same school, they are not in the same world, even in the same class.
After learning about the price of her car, Li Jing hid his love for it. It was also from that time that he got used to sitting alone in his seat and daydreaming, and gradually began to sit alone in his seat and read books.
Read silently, ignore everything else, even when in class.
The books he read ranged from novels like "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "Atlas Shrugged", to later books on literature, history and philosophy such as "The Fundamental Trends of Modern Jurisprudence" and "New Annotations to the Complete Zizhi Tongjian", and now to "Geometry and Topology of Manifolds" and "Smirnov's Advanced Mathematics"...
At first, he read a wide variety of books, just like his chaotic mind. But as he read deeper and deeper, he calmed down.
In the second year of junior high, Li Jing's grades had improved, and admission to Nanling Experimental High School was practically guaranteed. He was placed in the key program at Xianling Junior High School, and his tuition was waived. Meanwhile, the girl he liked was placed in the international program, saying she was planning to attend high school in America.
The international class was in a different building from his key class, so Li Jing would run to the bathroom during breaks. The bathroom window faced the international class, and he could see the girl he liked from afar.
But did he really like her at that time?
Li Jing had been studying for a year at that time. He felt that there was more in his brain. The neurons in his cerebral cortex were more developed than those of his peers. He was no longer the silly boy who knew nothing when he first entered school, but he still could not say what "like" meant.
The girl he liked was still dressed the same way as when she first entered school, vulgar and boring, like the wild flowers blooming everywhere in spring, but Li Jing still wanted to look at her more, and he didn't know why.
Later she died.
Her family's photovoltaic company was investigated for fraudulent subsidies, its capital chain was broken, and her father, along with the entire family, died together at home. When they were found, the whole family was rotten, several soulless bodies stuck together, infested with maggots and worms.
The first girl Li Jing liked died in such a confusing way that it was impossible to tell the exact date. And he, the one who liked her, was not the first to know about her death. He only found out about it when he heard his classmates talking about it.
At that time, it had been more than a month since the body was discovered. It was probably already in a box and was now buried in some cheap cemetery.
No one will probably visit her again. She just died like that and was buried with her respectable family. It has been more than two years now, and perhaps the stones on her grave have started to grow grass.
But Li Jing felt nothing, not even a moment of discomfort. Instead, he felt a sense of relief. His obsession had finally been let go. Li Jing had once dreamed of this, and he had finally come to terms with the self who was no longer stupid.
Small pain brings small enlightenment, big pain brings big enlightenment, numbness is useless.
Li Jing's thoughts drifted to infinity, but someone patted his shoulder.
"Class monitor, why are you sitting here doing nothing? Do you want to go back to class?"
Li Jing turned around and saw his classmate Ding Xiang. She sat directly in Qin Zhixin's seat and leaned over with a smile.
Luo Dingxiang and he were in the same elementary school and class, and now, coincidentally, they were in the same high school and class. She used to be thin and petite and not very attractive, but now, with her pair of old-fashioned black Sage glasses, she looked even more unattractive.
The thick SEG frame made Luo Dingxiang's face look only the size of a palm. She had some freckles on her face and her skin was not white. It could only be said that she was neither ugly nor good-looking.
Li Jing turned his head to look at Luo Dingxiang, and suddenly at a certain moment, Luo Dingxiang's face was replaced by Qin Zhixin's charming and beautiful face, which made him a little dazed.
He had the illusion that Qin Zhixin was questioning him, but Qin Zhixin wouldn't be so intimate with him. Li Jing felt his chest tighten and feel something disappear.
"I'm not going back. It's quieter here, so I can just daydream."
"Brother Jing, where is that beautiful lady?"
"What beautiful lady?"
Li Jing knew that Luo Dingxiang was talking about Qin Zhixin, but he still asked despite knowing the answer.
"That's Yang Qichao's girlfriend. Have you seen her?"
Li Jing stared blankly into the distance, sensing a hidden meaning in Luo Dingxiang's words. It seemed to him that Luo Dingxiang was warning Li Jing that Qin Zhixin was a property with a home, and that all his devotion and fantasies about her were like throwing insignificant pebbles into the turbulent Qixiang River; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't hold back a single drop of the rushing water.
Nothing will be left behind. The fact is just like the law of nature. After Li Jing cleansed himself, his heart, like his expression, was confused.
"Qin Zhixin from Class 2? She didn't come today."
