Just turned over a new leaf and became a wise and intelligent student

Chapter 37: A tall tree attracts the wind and a tall person attracts jealousy
Xu Qingshan took Ye Xincheng and walked straight around Jiang Jingyi.

Jiang Jingyi's tears fell uncontrollably.

Her emotions have never been stable.

However, as tears flowed from her eyes, Jiang Jingyi inexplicably thought of something.

Is this how Xu Qingshan felt when he was rejected by me before?
But she quickly put that thought aside.

I am definitely not as hurtful as Xu Qingshan.

She remembered the girl holding hands with Xu Qingshan that she saw on the street near Zhongmin Parkson last weekend.

It turned out that Jiang Huanxi was not his enemy at all.

That unknown girl is it.

After wiping away her tears and washing her face, Jiang Jingyi slowly left the school carrying her schoolbag, but she was thinking about other things in her heart.

Sunday afternoon.

This day is Mid-Autumn Festival.

Senior high school students only have a day off on Sunday.

Jiang Huanxi's family went to Jiang Jingyi's house for a gathering as usual.

This time, as soon as Jiang Huanxi entered the door, Jiang Jingyi enthusiastically pulled him into the house.

"What? You want me to contact Xu Qingshan again?"

Jiang Huanxi, who usually didn't like to frown, frowned.

She repeated the request of her troublesome cousin.

"Correct."

Jiang Jingyi nodded firmly.

"But."

Jiang Huanxi was puzzled.

What on earth does Jiang Jingyi want to do by doing this over and over again?
Doesn't she doubt herself?

"It's okay, sister."

"Xu Qingshan is not very willing to contact me right now. I want you to become friends with him and help me find out what he is saying."

Jiang Jingyi was no longer as wary of Jiang Huanxi as before.

Unless Xu Qingshan wants to have multiple relationships at the same time.

If that was the case, then why would he reject himself?

Jiang Jingyi herself did not realize that in her heart, the image of Xu Qingshan was being filled in and consolidated bit by bit into a more perfect image.

"Jingyi, this is not good."

Jiang Huanxi said seriously.

"This will make making friends become very utilitarian."

"Sister, please, just this once, okay? This is really important to me!"

Jiang Jingyi took the initiative to hold Jiang Huanxi's hand and looked at her pitifully.

Tears were already welling up in my eyes, and it seemed like they would burst out in the next second.

"Okay, just this once then."

Jiang Huanxi seemed to be soft-hearted again.

But only she knows what she is thinking.

Sunday evening.

There was no sunset today, and the sky suddenly became dark.

Starting this week, boarding students will need to attend evening self-study on Sunday night.

Tong Tong went to Xu Qingshan's house in the afternoon and met with Xu's father and mother. The family of five had dinner together.

After dinner, Xu’s father and mother returned to Yunzhang County.

Xu Qingshan sent Tong Tong back to school for evening self-study.

The two walked side by side.

Tong Tong hesitated for a long time and finally couldn't help but speak.

"elder brother."

"Ok?"

"Next time you go running, can you please not take off your clothes?"

Tong Tong's face was full of confusion.

"You mean yesterday evening?"

Xu Qingshan asked.

"Well, didn't you see those people? Their eyes were wide open." There was a sour taste in Tong Tong's words. The sour taste could be smelled from miles away.

"Hey."

Tong Tong covered her head with her hands. Xu Qingshan had just tapped her head lightly.

"Who cares what other people do?"

Xu Qingshan taught with a smile.

"You can't care whether others see you or not, right? I took off my clothes because they were too wet and it affected my arm swings. Do you think it's more important to care about other people's eyes or your own feelings?"

Tong Tong pursed his lips.

She wanted to refute, but she felt that what Xu Qingshan said made sense and she couldn't refute it.

"But I heard people talking about you on my way back from the cafeteria that day."

Tong Tong thought about it and wanted to prove his point from the side.

"But the content of their discussion was not very friendly. It felt like you were grandstanding for the sake of attention, brother."

Tong Tong was indignant.

"A big tree attracts the wind, and a person attracts jealousy."

Xu Qingshan said calmly.

"These are all normal things, don't pay any attention to them."

"Oh"

Tong Tong responded.

"Okay, go back to your evening study."

After sending her to the downstairs of Houde Building, Xu Qingshan waved goodbye to Tong Tong. Seeing the girl looking back every few steps with reluctance to leave, Xu Qingshan smiled helplessly.

only.

Even Xu Qingshan himself didn't know.

A big tree attracts wind, and a person attracts jealousy. This sentence came true the day after he said it.

But this time it wasn’t about his conspicuous daily long runs.

It's about his achievements.

During the break on Monday morning.

Several girls from Class 1 of Grade got together after class. I don’t know what they were talking about, but suddenly they started talking about Xu Qingshan.

"Have you noticed that Xu Qingshan from the next class has become more and more handsome recently?"

"I think so too. On Saturday, I was memorizing words under the tree and he ran past me more than a dozen times. I ended up memorizing 3500 words for an hour and was still in the "abandon" state."

"His hairstyle is so manly, and his skin is a little darker now, which matches his hairstyle and figure better. He was a little too white before."

"You are so superficial. If it were me, Xu Qingshan would be able to improve his intelligence to 573 points in just half a month. I think he would be able to get our average score in the monthly exam."

"That's unlikely, right? The average score in our class is over 630."

"How is that impossible? Every time I pass by Class 2 to get water, I will secretly look at Xu Qingshan. He almost never takes a break and is always working on his homework. With this kind of energy, let alone 630, he may even be among the top few in our class in the future."

"Tsk, Xu Qingshan has to study hard, he has to look good, he has to have a good figure, it would be great if he was in our class."

These girls were chatting excitedly, so their voices were a little loud.

Several boys from Class 1 standing nearby also heard what they said.

Perhaps it was the arrogance of youth, or perhaps it was the dignity of being a group of men, but when they heard such words, they were naturally furious.

"It just went from 421 to less than 600. What's there to brag about? Maybe he'll have to find a tutor for him during the summer vacation."

"That's right. The higher the score, the harder it is to improve. For basic things, anyone in our class can learn them very quickly. And they can rank among the top few in our class? You're dreaming."

"Anyway, I think he's a show-off. Maybe his low scores before were just an act."

The few words from the small group of boys directly attacked the content of the girls' chat.

This is often how quarrels and disputes arise.

The girls who felt aggrieved stood up and spoke to the boys.

"You are just jealous, you say the grapes are sour!"

"Can't eat grapes? Don't be ridiculous. Who among us needs to improve by 151 points? I scored 657 last time, and I don't have that much room for improvement. I really envy Xu Qingshan."

The boy and girl started arguing and ended up leaving on bad terms.

But the content of the quarrel also spread quietly.

The people in Class 1 are indeed qualified to say such things.

That doesn't mean it's right.

Xu Qingshan had no idea what was happening in the next class.

He just focused on immersing himself in the sea of ​​questions, hoping to learn more about different types of questions before the monthly exam.
