Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 21
Ni Manhua and Zhan Ping walked quickly, and Wu Bo and Luo Zeli also went back together. Only Lu Guanhai and Lin Xiang were left looking at each other in silence for a long time.

They all knew that Lin Xiang liked Jiang Lan, but Lu Guanhai really didn't know that Jiang Lan liked him.

Lin Xiang is actually quite shy on weekdays. He is not as playful as Wu Bo, nor is he like Luo Zeli who has his own world in his heart, nor does Lu Guanhai have the affinity with the opposite sex.He often feels that he is the background among the four of them, so he follows their footsteps in everything and rarely expresses his opinions.

He had been mentally preparing for a long time before he mustered up the courage to confess to Jiang Lan at KTV.

Lin Xiang put his hands in his pockets and looked at his toes that were kicking stones. He didn't raise his head, and his voice was a little dull: "Why don't you just tell Jiang Lan that you like Ni Manhua?"

It's not a secret that Lu Guanhai likes Ni Manhua. Almost everyone in Classes [-] and [-] knows it. Even the person who is their eyeliner in the art class has revealed some information around the school.

Lu Guanhai rushed to the hospital to pick up Ni Manhua today. It seems that Jiang Lan heard some rumors and felt a sense of crisis, so she was so eager to find Lu Guanhai for an answer.

Ni Manhua's expression just now appeared in Lu Guanhai's mind, and he replied sadly: "You should have seen Ni Manhua's reaction just now. She didn't want me to say it."

Maybe Ni Manhua didn't want to make the atmosphere awkward and ruin the friendship between her and Jiang Lan as classmates. Maybe she didn't like Lu Guanhai, so she wanted to whitewash the situation.

Lin Xiang was obviously unhappy: "But if you take care of Ni Manhua, Jiang Lan will always have expectations for you. She actually wanted to confess to you that day at 'Shengchao'."

When the balloon burst that day, Lin Xiang's heart went cold. Their lies were so clumsy.

"I will make it clear to Jiang Lan in private." Lu Guanhai reached out and patted Lin Xiang's shoulder: "Xiangzi, I believe in brother, he will not complicate things. There should be no bad blood between us."

"Okay." Lin Xiang nodded: "I just want to ask about your attitude. No one can control if you like this kind of thing. Why should I be in trouble with you?"

But since then, no one in the small group of seven has spoken for a long time, and Jiang Lan has also returned to her original star-chasing life, no longer coming to see Ni Manhua and Zhan Ping whenever she has nothing to do.

Zhan Ping, a troublemaker, couldn't stop asking around. It didn't take long for him to report the situation to Ni Manhua with the news: "I have exchanged news with the four members of the Rocket Class. Guess what?"

Ni Manhua avoided her claws: "I won't guess, I don't want to know."

"How could you not want to know?" Zhan Ping pressed on Ni Manhua anxiously: "According to the information provided by Lu Guanhai, he rejected Jiang Lan in private. According to the information provided by Luo Tuo... and Lu Guan Same as Hai, but Slim Monkey told me that Lu Guanhai made it clear that he had a crush on you during the showdown with Jiang Lan, so it must be because of this matter that Jiang Lan didn't come to see us in the past two days."

"Didn't you ask four people, and one more?"

"Lin Xiang... didn't say anything. This is a one-way broken love, so I have to take it easy."

Before the movie theater incident, Ni Manhua and Jiang Lan had never been very good friends. Their relationship had always been like this, where they would say hello when they met, and each had their own preferences and life trajectories.In fact, it’s good to be back like this.

Ni Manhua apologized for the blow Jiang Lan received from Lu Guanhai, but there was nothing he could do.

"Hand in your music theory homework, Zhan Ping, have you written it?"

"When was the homework assigned? Manman, please take yours and copy it for me. I will hand it over to the office with you later."

The class representative came to collect the homework. Zhan Ping immediately jumped up as if she had been stabbed in the butt and took Ni Manhua's homework and copied it.

In terms of study, Ni Manhua has always envied Zhan Ping. She dozed off in class and didn't do homework, but her grades were stable near the top line in the art category of the college entrance examination in previous years.Even later, during the college entrance examination, Zhan Ping's cultural score just exceeded the provincial vocal music major's art score by ten points, and Ni Manhua suspected that she had written the score by looking at it.

Every time Zhan Ping copied Ni Manhua's homework and sent it to the office for her, Ni Manhua just ignored it and went about her own business with peace of mind.

It was only after the penultimate class in the afternoon, when Lao Cui called him to the office with Zhan Ping, that Ni Manhua realized that their homework had not been handed in.

Zhan Ping didn't believe it on the way there, insisting that she had put the homework on her desk before the music theory teacher changed it.

But when they got to the office, she was not allowed to quibble. Lao Cui's spit almost hit both of their faces: "Zhan Ping, you said that you are not active in handing in homework and you lead your classmates into trouble? You are really good sisters. I see you When we can't afford to go to school and work together in the supermarket, will we still have such a deep sisterly bond? And Ni Manhua, you were not so courageous before, but your grades have not improved during this time, but you have gained weight?"

Ni Manhua didn't know the specific situation, so she lowered her head and said nothing. She just heard that this time the music theory class representative was also implicated, because Zhan Ping promised to hand in the homework by herself, and the class representative was kind enough not to remember them. name, but now they will be unlucky with them.

Ni Manhua was already ready to run laps on the playground. There were only so many punishments that Old Cui could give them. She admitted defeat. Besides, her ankle was not fully healed yet. She could only walk two laps quickly. There was no way that Old Cui could really take it. Their bodies joke.

But Zhan Ping was stubborn. She crossed her hips and glared at Lao Cui unconvinced: "Teacher, I really handed it in. I finished my homework word for word today. If I don't hand it in, why don't I stay in the desk for the New Year?" "

Lao Cui was angered by Zhan Ping's attitude and pointed at her nose and scolded her: "Then find your homework. If you don't find it before school, call your parents!"

Zhan Ping was unambiguous and started rummaging around in the office angrily.The music theory homework book is different from other homework books. The white cover and red letters are very conspicuous in the all-yellow workbook. Zhan Ping puffed up her cheeks and turned the pages diligently at the desks of the teachers of various subjects. Ni Manhua was not able to stand still. When he didn't move, he followed her and started looking for her.

Because the last two classes were self-study, and the teachers were in various classes, Zhan Ping and Ni Manhua were the only two people left in the office.

Ni Manhua asked Zhan Ping: "When did you hand in your homework?"

"After the second class, there were not two self-study periods after that. I was afraid that the music theory teacher would change the homework, but the head teacher of Class [-] was in the office at that time, so I walked in and put the homework in the music theory teacher's office."

There are not many teachers teaching during the holidays, and teachers of all grades sit in the same office.When Zhan Ping said this, she slammed the table: "Yes, the head teacher of Class [-], he saw me, I'll go find him."

"Zhan Ping..." Ni Manhua didn't stop Zhan Ping, she ran out quickly, bumping into Lu Guanhai and Lin Xiang at the door.

Zhan Ping was not tall, so she suddenly bumped into Lin Xiang's chest, causing her forehead to hurt from the buttons on his clothes.

Zhan Ping pressed her forehead and grinned: "What are you two doing?"

Zhan Ping was impatient and couldn't delay anything she wanted to do. When they stopped her, her eyes started to get angry.

Lu Guanhai knew that Zhan Ping was already very irritable. He glanced at Lin Xiang and said, "Go ahead."

Lin Xiang felt a little stage frightened. His lips moved. After a long time, he took out his hands behind his back in frustration and handed two stained homework books to Zhan Ping.
