It's the students' fault if they are too popular.

Ruan Qian sat in the first row. She found it hard to believe that those usually kind faces would become so sarcastic and mean when facing this overly serious boy.

"You study so hard every day, but why don't you make any progress? Xixi is almost in the top 100."

The word "progress" was a pain in Shi Renjie's heart. He seemed to be irritated, glaring at the person who said this. The person was frightened for a moment, but soon felt ashamed - he was actually frightened by the person with the lowest status in the class!

He wanted to continue mocking Shi Renjie, when suddenly, a voice came from the front.

"Why are you mentioning me?"

Ruan Qian sat sideways and looked behind her. "I made great progress because of the help of Teacher Tong. Shi Renjie worked very hard. It might be that his study method was wrong. If the method was right, he would definitely make a lot of progress."

The boy smiled awkwardly and said, "I just said it casually."

He didn't want to ruin the impression of himself that the goddess in his class had.

Yes, goddess, now Ruan Qian is famous in the whole grade. With grades, looks, and comics, she is a well-deserved little goddess, and the number of her fans can form several football teams.

She was probably the first person in the class to speak up for Shi Renjie, or maybe not. There seemed to be people who did this before, but they would only be ridiculed by others in the end. But Ruan Qian would not do that. There were enough people around her, and no classmates would ridicule her. Ridiculing her would be a provocation to her circle.

Shi Renjie sat in his seat in a daze, staring at Ruan Qian. The most beautiful girl in the class didn't look at him, but was reciting her lessons seriously. Her profile was as flawless as white jade, and her delicate pigtails were draped over her back, satisfying all the fantasies of an adolescent boy about first love.

So, in a corner that Ruan Qian would not notice, a seed of secret love did not sprout silently, but vigorously.

There was a rather flashy BMW at the school gate in the afternoon.

Tong Yao received a call and went out. From the car window, she saw Tong Hua waving at her.

"Brother? Whose car is this?"

"I bought it for your sister-in-law." Tong Hua smiled, "My studio is now complete. Do you want to go take a look? I've hired several people."

Witness the birth of League of Legends?

Tong Yao was a little interested, so she looked at her phone and saw that there was plenty of time for the round trip. So she got in the car, and as soon as she sat down, she felt a little uncomfortable.

"Isn't this seat too far back?" She complained slightly, "The backrest is almost lying flat."

"I don't know. I rarely drive this car. Today your sister-in-law parked downstairs, so I drove over."

"Oh."

Tong Yao tried to adjust the seat to normal. She fumbled under the seat and suddenly found a small plastic bag. She was stunned for a moment, then took it out and saw what was inside. Her face turned a little dark.

An unused, loose, cheap-looking condom.

"Can you please not leave this kind of thing lying around? Are you and your sister-in-law having so much fun in the car?"

Tong Hua was also stunned: "She and I don't need to use this..."

The car became very quiet for a moment.

Chapter 102: Thunder

"elder brother?"

Tong Yao looked at him cautiously, "Maybe my sister-in-law lent the car to someone else? And I haven't used it yet. I usually like to put down the seat and lie down in the car."

Tong Hua was silent for a while, then said, "I'll go back and ask her first."

"Brother, no matter what happens, stay calm." Tong Yao opened the car door and got out. "Then... I won't go to your studio today."

"Well," Tong Hua lit a cigarette, "I'm very calm. Your brother has been in love since the first grade of junior high school. I have seen all kinds of situations."

He used to be quite a playboy, used to breaking up and getting back together, but recently he has really settled down and wants to start a family and settle down. He and Wu Lu are about to get married.

The car door closes.

Tong Yao looked at the car going away, wondering if this would be a minor episode or a major change.

Class seven.

"Um, Ruan Qian, I want to ask you how to solve this physics problem..."

Ruan Qian's seat was in the first row, so anyone could talk to her in the front. She looked up and saw Shi Renjie's uncomfortable expression. She was stunned for a moment, looked at the question, judged the difficulty, and found that it was not too difficult.

At least, it shouldn't be to the extent that Shi Renjie can't do it.

In her last exam, she ranked 160th in her grade, while Shi Renjie ranked 164th. Although she seemed to be good, she actually did not do as many questions as Shi Renjie, and her foundation was not as solid. With a little thought, one could tell that Shi Renjie was thinking about something else.

She pursed her lips and gave a rough explanation without any emotion:

"Do a stress analysis first..."

Shi Renjie seemed fascinated by what he heard.

"Okay, I'm going to study." Ruan Qian pushed his homework away and said.

"Wait, do you want some chemistry notes? I specially compiled them yesterday," Shi Renjie hurriedly took out another notebook, "I think it will be helpful to you..."

"No, thank you." Ruan Qian said bluntly and concisely.

There were people laughing quietly around, some people were mocking Shi Renjie - a toad wanting to eat swan flesh without even looking in the mirror to see what he looks like.

Shi Renjie is not ugly, he is above average, but he has an egg-shaped head, is skinny, has a crooked back, and is not tall, but malnourished. Sometimes he would peel boiled eggs in the drawer, and you could see the yolk on his lips when you looked up. At least in the eyes of girls, he has no image.

There are many boys in the class who like Ruan Qian, but everyone wants to save face and will not pursue her. At most, they will act like a jerk and take away the girl's water bottle or homework and play with her. As high school students, everyone has their limits, but Shi Renjie seems to be an outlier.

Class is on, get out of class is over.

Ruan Qian was concentrating on doing the questions. He Xueyu, who was sitting at the back of the classroom, ran over and whispered to her:

"Shi Renjie always stares at you during class, sometimes even becomes obsessed with you."

Ruan Qian suddenly felt a little creepy.

"I think he's relying on you. He has no friends, and you said something nice for him, and he has some ideas." He Xueyu showed disgust on his face, "I think he's a little bit mentally ill."

Ruan Qian agreed that Shi Renjie did have a strange kind of paranoia. He seemed to think that students should learn like him. Besides, which normal person would challenge others?

"He's here again." He Xueyu blinked, gave Ruan Qian a helpless look, and returned to his seat.

"Ruan Qian..." Shi Renjie held a pen and paper in his hand.

"You disturbed my study." Ruan Qian said calmly, "I'm busy."

Shi Renjie froze, then said:

"Oh, then...I won't talk."

He sat in Jiang Yiming's seat, read a book for a while, and then glanced at Ruan Qian's profile.

Ruan Qian frowned. She didn't like this, but she couldn't let him leave. After all, he wasn't sitting in her seat. So she closed her homework and wanted to move to another place. At this moment, Jiang Yiming came back.

"Fuck, why are you sitting in my seat?" The boy's brows were more angry. He had discussed with Xu Hao on the way that this guy was chasing his deskmate, which made him very unhappy. Yes, he didn't dare to chase Ruan Qian, because they were too familiar with each other and he was afraid that they would not even be friends. But Shi Renjie's behavior made him feel disgusted and nauseous.

"Ah? Let me sit for a moment..."

"Who told you to sit?" Jiang Yiming sneered, "Get out of here now."

Shi Renjie's face changed. This attitude of chasing away rats deeply hurt his self-esteem. He stood up slowly, holding his breath. When he passed Jiang Yiming, he whispered:

"Coward."

Jiang Yiming was stunned. He could hardly believe that he was insulted by the class's mockery:

"What did you say?"

"I said you're a coward!" Shi Renjie's face was abnormally flushed. He seemed to be relieved and became more and more excited as he spoke. "You don't dare to chase her. You are jealous of me when you see me chasing her!"

He wants to resist, he wants to defend his love.

The classroom had grown quiet without anyone noticing. Everyone was staring at the two boys, like Europe staring at the powder keg in the Balkans.

Finally, the gunpowder was ignited.

"Fuck your mother!" Anger rushed to Jiang Yiming's head. He reached out and pushed Shi Renjie to the table in the first row at the door. The malnourished Shi Renjie was no match for Jiang Yiming, who played football every day. He fell backwards and hit his head on a chair with a clanging sound. The pile of books on the table collapsed and fell on him one by one, making him look miserable.

The girl sitting in that seat came back from fetching water, dumbfounded.

No one was speechless. Although everyone could be naughty sometimes, they basically only dared to talk. They all knew that it was not fun to fight. The difference between swearing and fighting in school was as big as the difference in sentencing for theft and robbery.

Shi Renjie slowly stood up. He wanted to fight back, but he couldn't. He could only swallow his anger and walk back to his seat silently. Even his deskmate wanted to avoid him.

"Sorry." Jiang Yiming lowered his head, picked up the book, and said to the girl at the door, "I'll pick it up for you."

The bell rang and the next class was physics.

After picking up the books, Jiang Yiming returned to his seat and exhaled. Ruan Qian looked at him sideways and asked in a low voice:

"Are you okay?"

"It's okay..." Jiang Yiming took a sip of water, "He's just an idiot."

"Ah."

"What he said is bullshit," Jiang Yiming gritted his teeth, "Did it scare you?"

"No." Ruan Qian shook her head.

Her original junior high school was so bad that she had seen many group fights. In her eyes, Jiang Yiming's fighting style was terrible. Those hooligans in her junior high school knew how to beat people with the iron on the belt. Jiang Yiming was just a big boy. He acted on impulse and was probably very upset after the fight.

In this class, many people didn't hear a word and were just recalling the exciting scene during the break.

In this city's No. 1 Middle School, I'm afraid I haven't seen a fight in three years - although this time it was just a shove. Some people looked at Jiang Yiming, some looked at Shi Renjie, and tried to guess what they were thinking from their expressions.

"Why do I feel like you guys aren't paying attention today?" said Physics teacher Lu.

Everyone looked at each other and no one said anything.

In fact, everyone likes excitement, and those who watch the show and eat melons hope that there will be another fight after class. Then, the get out of class really ended, Teacher Lu left, Jiang Yiming sat in his seat without moving, and Shi Renjie, he still did his own thing, as if he was not the one who was beaten just now.

"Damn, he's still looking over here." Jiang Yiming glanced back, "He really deserves a beating."

"Stop fighting." Ruan Qian frowned.

Jiang Yiming shrugged: "Well, I don't want to be punished. It would be bad if the teacher knew about it."

After a while, Ji Chen came over. As the class monitor, he wanted to do some psychological work on the two people who had fought. He did not want the atmosphere in the class to change. The students had their own tacit understanding, and no one, including Ji Chen, would tell the teacher about this. Several boys talked and laughed. This incident did not bring too much shadow, and they even made up jokes.

dinner.

Ruan Qian came out of the cafeteria, but was stopped by a boy. As expected, it was Shi Renjie. Ruan Qian lost her patience and asked:

"What?"

"It's not that I can't beat him," Shi Renjie said. "Fighting is too childish. I plan to tell the teacher and have him punished by the school."

Ruan Qian stopped, stared at him intently, and said:

“I don’t sympathize with you at all now.

"What kind of punishment do you think he will receive for pushing you? A public criticism?"

She knew that Shi Renjie was very proud, had an excessively strong self-esteem, and was completely self-centered. The boy's face was very stiff, but she didn't care. She went back to the classroom and reminded Jiang Yiming.

"Oh, tell the teacher?" Jiang Yiming sneered, "Xu Hao and I have already figured out how to deal with him."

Ruan Qian was startled: "You guys still want to fight?"

"Of course not," Jiang Yiming pretended to be profound, "Don't worry about it."

"Don't overdo it," she said with some concern, "Just focus on your studies."

"I know I know~"

She didn't know what Jiang Yiming and Xu Hao had done.

But for the following week, Shi Renjie stayed in his seat every day with his head down, and really never looked for her again.

Time goes back to this day.

Tong Yao was copying lesson plans in the office when the phone rang and Tong Hua's name lit up in the middle of the screen.

She quickly answered.
