Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 12 Listen to Little Stars Together

According to the original idea, Ni Manhua started walking to school in the morning, but avoided Lu Guanhai, who was accustomed to taking the bus to save time. However, recently Lu Guanhai also started walking to school, and Ni Manhua walked to the intersection they passed almost every day. When I saw Lu Guanhai, I didn't know how long in advance he was waiting there.

Because everyone already knows each other, it is not good to avoid them if they bump into each other. Ni Manhua inevitably has to walk with Lu Guanhai all the way. On sunny days, she will walk all the way to school. On rainy days, she will stop at the bus stop and wait for the bus. There was no discussion with Lu Guanhai, but Lu Guanhai completely copied her choice.

As an adult, Ni Manhua knew that communication was an important factor in improving relationships. She didn't want to develop a relationship with Lu Guanhai, so she started listening to music on her headphones on the way to school. Even if she met, she would say hello casually, and then they would Walking in silence.

But Lu Guanhai would still talk to her occasionally. For example, on a rainy day on the bus, Ni Manhua wanted to close the window with a crack exposed, but the aging window was difficult to use, so Lu Guanhai stretched out a Ni Manhua came to help, and then Ni Manhua took off one of his headphones and apologized to him. Lu Guanhai said no, and then asked curiously: "Do you bring your mobile phone to school every day?"

The school does not allow mobile phones to be brought to class, but some students still bring them secretly. If they are found, they will have to write a check.Ni Manhua shook his head: "I only take it with me on weekends, and I use MP3 to listen to music."

After saying that, Ni Manhua wanted to put on the headphones again, but Lu Guanhai had already found something to talk about, so he asked again: "What song are you listening to?"

Ni Manhua took out his MP3 player and took a look: "Little Star."

"Do you like listening to children's songs?"

Ni Manhua smiled; "No, it's another song."

When he was in school, Lu Guanhai didn't listen to music very often. He didn't have a computer at home, and in his spare time he spent most of his spare time playing basketball and helping his mother shop. He rarely listened to popular songs.

Lu Guanhai asked Ni Manhua: "Can you listen to me?"

Ni Manhua couldn't refuse, but it was really ambiguous for one person to wear one earphone, so Ni Manhua took off both earphones and handed them to him along with the MP3.

After getting off the bus at the station, Lu Guanhai returned the MP3 to Ni Manhua. He held up a big umbrella and told Ni Manhua that he didn't need to hold an umbrella.Fortunately, Jiang Lan got off another bus at this time and called her as he came over: "Manman, what a coincidence. Did you make an appointment to go to school together?"

"We met while waiting for the bus. Why aren't you wearing school pants today?" Ni Manhua quickly held up the umbrella as he spoke.

"I washed the school trousers last night and hung them on the balcony. Who would have thought that it would rain early in the morning." Jiang Lan walked up to Ni Manhua, and then waved to Lu Guanhai: "Xueba, between classes Tell me the topic? I couldn’t do half of the exercises last night.”

Lu Guanhai agreed to her, and the three of them walked towards the school together, each holding an umbrella and keeping a polite distance.

After arriving in the classroom, Jiang Lan took out the wet school pants from her bag and asked Ni Manhua to hang them on the back of the chair for her.The summer rain comes and goes quickly. After this period of rain, the sun will come out soon. Ni Manhua's seat is by the window, so he can get some sun when the curtains are not drawn.

The school's appearance is checked from time to time every Monday, and the art class is the focus of random inspections. Jiang Lan plans to go to the toilet and change into her pants when they are dry.

After early self-study get out of class, the sun came out. Ni Manhua stood up and turned the back of her chair to the window so that her pants could get better exposure to the sun. But this made it difficult for her to sit down, so she had to go to the corridor to get some air.

Zhan Ping also came out. As soon as she saw Ni Manhua, she hugged her and said, "Hey, you came out earlier than me today."

Zhan Ping happened to be standing in front of the window, and Ni Manhua pulled her aside: "Don't block the sun, Jiang Lan is drying her pants."

Zhan Ping took a look and said, "get out of class is over now. Wouldn't it make it faster to hang it up in the corridor to dry in the sun?"

"Stop, it's so weird hanging out your pants in the corridor with so many people coming and going."

"You just want to save face. Hey, let's go to his house for dinner with Lu Guanhai after school in the afternoon?" Zhan Ping suddenly changed the subject, and Ni Manhua looked at her doubtfully: "Has your aunt asked for leave?"

"I didn't ask for leave. This is not about playing games in an Internet cafe on the weekend. I heard that Skinny Monkey said that Lu Guanhai's cooking is delicious. I asked him to show off his skills one day. He said that I can go to eat often and I have to take you with me."

Zhan Ping looked at Ni Manhua with treacherous eyes: "He will take you with us when we make an appointment now. You said he paid more attention to you."

"You think I'm too unsociable." Ni Manhua sighed: "You all play games and I don't, and I have to go home to practice piano at night."

"Stop doing this with me. Are you going tonight?"

"Don't go."

"Then I'll go by myself, don't be jealous."

"Don't worry, what I hate the most among sour, sweet, bitter, spicy and salty is sour."

As they were talking, someone wearing a red armband came over at the end of the corridor. Ni Manhua and Zhan Ping looked at each other, hurried back to the classroom, pulled off the school pants hanging on the back of the chair and threw them to Jiang Lan.

The school pants are baggy, and Jiang Lan is wearing pencil pants at this time, which can be worn directly outside.

But when Jiang Lan got the pants, several students on duty wearing red armbands had already walked in. They looked around and saw Jiang Lan who was out of place.

"Classmate, what's your name?" The leader walked up to Jiang Lan and asked. Jiang Lan said with a guilty conscience, "What's wrong with me? I didn't break the rules."

Points are deducted for writing a self-criticism and cleaning. This semester is almost over, and Jiang Lan doesn't want to be on the gun in the last few weeks.But the student on duty didn't seem very good at talking: "The school stipulates that you must wear a full school uniform from Monday to Friday. If you don't wear school pants, you must deduct points."

Zhan Ping leaned against Ni Manhua and smacked her lips with a regretful expression.In fact, with Zhan Ping's unforgiving mouth, she would definitely have come forward a long time ago, but it's a pity that she just had points deducted for cleaning the windows for a week last week, so she didn't dare to make a mistake now.

Jiang Lan was a little dissatisfied: "My school pants got wet from the rain. I didn't mean not to wear them."

"But you weren't wearing any when we checked you out."

Ni Manhua had already seen the on-duty student act in accordance with the school's rules and regulations, but she still walked over: "Classmate, let me ask you, why does the school make us wear uniforms?"

The student on duty looked at Ni Manhua up and down, and said as if he was looking at a fool: "Of course it is to show the school spirit, because this way everyone will not compare with each other in terms of clothing. Wearing uniforms will make us more like a group."

Ni Manhua had a small social circle in the past, and she almost never met such a classmate who was so upright at school, so she was quite relieved for the school.

Ni Manhua looked at this younger brother and said calmly: "Then what is our school spirit? The principal just said at the graduation ceremony of the third year of high school last Friday that our students in No. [-] Middle School must have a strong will, be elegant The qualities of kindness and kindness, classmate, I think you should introspect yourself."

"Me?" The student on duty looked at Ni Manhua in disbelief.

Ni Manhua nodded, pointed to Jiang Lan and said, "This student didn't deliberately not wear school pants to violate the school rules, on the contrary, her pants were wet, and she deliberately took them to the school to dry, in order to change them in time and integrate into the group. I think she has a sense of community and finds a way to deal with problems in a timely manner. But you don’t know how to be flexible, do you think she should wear wet school pants and get sick to show our school spirit? Then Should you reflect on your own kindness?"

If there was less collagen on Ni Manhua's face, the student on duty would really feel like the person standing in front of him was the dean.He looked at Ni Manhua for a long time before retorting: "You changed the concept."

"I'm discussing with you, would you like to wear wet school pants to school?"

The 10 minutes between classes passed quickly. The preparation bell rang and the teacher was about to come in. The student on duty wanted to write down Jiang Lan’s name at this last moment, but he couldn’t get the name from Jiang Lan. He saw Looking at Ni Manhua's scrutinizing gaze, she was not sure whether she would still argue with reason in the presence of the teacher.

The other students on duty were urging him. We were all students and had to return to the classroom when the bell rang. In the end, the student on duty could only sigh and walked out of their classroom with his peers in frustration.

After they left, Zhan Ping shook Ni Manhua's arm excitedly: "Yes, Manman, inherit my mantle! From now on, you will be my closed disciple."

"I don't want to win this honor," Ni Manhua took Jiang Lan's pants under Jiang Lan's grateful eyes, and opened Zhan Ping's pants in disgust: "Go back to your seat quickly, the teacher is coming."

The moment the school bell rang, Ni Manhua hung Jiang Lan's pants back on the back of his chair.Looking at the bright sunshine outside the window, her mood suddenly became clear.

It felt good to speak freely like a young man without having to think about the consequences. She was not sure whether she could help succeed just now, but she just wanted to say something, and she said what she wanted. She liked this kind of life.
