Chapter 9 009 The Secret That Cannot Be Told

2023-09-06

In their previous life, Xu Zhe and Song Xingye were classmates, but they hardly spoke to each other during the three years of junior high school.

Xu Zhe was just a little envious of Song Xingye, because she had a good family background, a cute appearance, and good grades. In all aspects, she seemed to be the happiest kind of good student. However, for some reason, Song Xingye didn't seem to get along well with her classmates in the class, especially among the girls.

Although nothing was said, just from an occasional glance, Xu Zhe could find that this seemingly perfect female classmate was even as lonely as himself, Quasimodo.

Then in the second semester of the third year of junior high school, she jumped from the top of the laboratory building. I don't know whether it was good luck or bad luck, she didn't die, but she became paralyzed from the waist down. After that, no one in the school saw Song Xingye again.

As for the specific reason why she did this, no one could explain it.

Xu Zhe did not ask anyone, but he overheard many classmates whispering about her. Some of them were regretful, some were puzzled, and there were many speculations. Some said her parents were divorced, some said she was isolated by all the girls in the class, and some said she was just aloof and unsociable...

What about this life?

If the variable Xu Zhe doesn't change anything, the tragedy will probably happen again, right?

Thinking of this, he felt that he needed to keep an eye on it secretly. It would be fine if he was completely powerless, but if he could do something, he couldn't just stand by and watch.

The seat that Teacher Sun arranged for Song Xingye was right in front of Xu Zhe. So whenever he looked at the podium or the blackboard, the girl's figure was almost right beside the path his eyes had to take. It was just right to take some time to observe her occasionally during class.

After arranging the seats, Teacher Sun announced: "The school will distribute school uniforms to everyone later. Starting tomorrow, everyone will undergo three days of military training. You must wear school uniforms during military training. Do you understand?"

At this time, a naughty male student said: "Why don't you wear camouflage during military training?"

Teacher Sun: "The point is not the clothes, but the tempering of will. This is the meaning of military training."

The boy laughed again and said, "Clothes are not important, so why not wear the school uniform?"

There was suppressed laughter all around.

Teacher Sun looked down at the list, and then said seriously: "Gao Xuefei, stand up!"

More students laughed out loud.

Xu Zhe glanced at Song Xingye.

The girl didn't smile, and still sat upright. Although his face couldn't be seen at this time, her back gave Xu Zhe a very serious feeling, like a good child who followed the instructions of her teacher and parents meticulously.

If her deeper character is like this, and she can't relax, she will probably accumulate a lot of pressure - Xu Zhe secretly guessed.

Suddenly, the girl next to me lowered her voice and said, "Do you guys like this?"

Xu Zhe was slightly startled, then he realized that his deskmate Tao Ying was talking to him.

Recalling carefully, he dug out a few memories of Tao Ying from his previous life. She was still his deskmate at the beginning of the first year of junior high school, but because of her appearance, she seemed to have never taken the initiative to say a word to him, and even ignored him as much as possible.

This kind of indifference was something to be thankful for for Xu Zhe in her previous life. At least she did not bully herself as an "outlier" like other classmates like Gao Xuefei.

But it’s different now. Now it’s Tao Ying who takes the initiative to talk.

The naughty student Gao Xuefei received the first scolding from the head teacher, while Tao Ying and Xu Zhe, the new deskmates, started whispering to each other.

Xu Zhe was a little uncomfortable with this, but he still asked in a calm and natural tone: "Which one do you like?"

Tao Ying pointed at Song Xingye in the front row and lowered her voice: "That is to say, a beauty like her."

Xu Zhe shook his head slightly: "I can only say that you think too much."

Tao Ying curled her lips: "Then I can only say that you are really dishonest. I have already discovered that you always peek at her."

But if you didn't peek at me, how did you know I was peeking at her? Xu Zhe subconsciously wanted to retort, but then he thought it was a bit funny for him to compete with a first-grade girl, so he just laughed it off and didn't say anything more.

He couldn't tell anyone about Song Xingye's future, so what did a little misunderstanding matter?

----

"I'm so tired... Look, I'm getting tanned!"

On the afternoon of the second day of military training, when the training was dismissed and they went home, Xu Zhe went with Tang Lingfei as usual and listened to the complaints of his childhood sweetheart.

However, just as he was leaving the school gate, he subconsciously stopped.

The white car was parked on the side of the road.

Song Xingye was standing next to the car, talking to her mother. Her mother noticed Xu Zhe who was a little further away, and smiled and waved her hand as a greeting.

Xu Zhe also raised his hand and waved it in response. However, he did not move over to talk, but walked away along the sidewalk.

Tang Lingfei noticed this small interactive session and asked in confusion: "Who is that?"

Xu Zhe: "The parent of a classmate. I met him by chance last time and chatted with him for a while."

Tang Lingfei looked back.

Song Xingye and her mother had already gotten into the car. The white car had already started and was heading in another direction.

Tang Lingfei: "You didn't talk to your classmates, but you could chat with her mother? How come you are so good at talking to adults?"

Xu Zhe shrugged: "Maybe it's because I'm too mature."

"Tsk..." the girl said contemptuously, "You are becoming more and more shameless. I think it's because you are shameless that you can chat with adults, right?"

----

In the car on the other side.

Although Song Xingye was sitting in the back seat, he also fastened his seat belt.

Then, I heard my mother asking, "How does military training feel?"

The girl replied: "It's very tiring, and it's very sunny."

Mother: "Thank goodness I told you to put on sunscreen, otherwise you would be even more uncomfortable now."

"Yeah..." Song Xingye paused and couldn't help asking, "Didn't you say that you and dad would take turns picking me up? Why isn't he here today?"

The mother sneered, "Tsk, if you rely on him for everything, nothing will be done in time. Don't worry about him, it will be the same even if I pick you up."

Song Xingye uttered a low "hmm".

She turned her face sideways and looked out the car window on the left.

The setting sun shines on the road, so golden that it is a bit dazzling.

But the girl stared stubbornly, trying to catch the scorching sun.

After a long silence, Song Xingye thought of someone and suddenly said, "Oh, he's in the same class as me."

"Him?" The mother, who was driving, took two or three seconds to respond. "You mean, the one who bought us the MP3 player last time?"

Song Xingye: "Yes."

"What's his name?"

"forget."

The mother didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Why are you always like this? You have been like this since you were a child. You never take the initiative to make friends with others. You always wait for others to come and play with you. This is not okay."

Song Xingye smiled indifferently: "Anyway, there will always be many classmates who will come to me, right? I just need to study hard and do my best. That's what the teachers say too."

Mother: "Okay, okay, whatever you want."

The title change failed... Let me think of another reasonable title.

In addition, I have received a message from the website, but the title and pen name may need to be adjusted, plus communication with the editor and other things, the update will be a little slow in the next two days. However, if there are no unexpected events in the future, it should be updated in the afternoon, which is basically confirmed.

Chapter 10 010 Butterfly Spring

2023-09-06

The three-day military training ended quickly and the freshmen began to experience the first grade classes.

In addition to the three main subjects of Chinese, mathematics and English, they also have to take four subjects: history, geography, biology, and ideology and morality. Of course, there are also leisure courses such as music, art, physical education, and microcomputers.

Now that I have just started the first year of junior high school, the difference in grades between classmates has not yet become apparent, and there is almost no pressure. During class, everyone has not lost patience, and even potential bad boys like Gao Xuefei can listen to the class.

Instead, Xu Zhe couldn't stand it anymore.

The content of the first grade was too simple for him. It was what he had learned in his previous life, and with the mind of an adult... While others were still learning slowly from the teacher, he had already finished reading the textbooks for the entire semester.

Out of boredom, he even took out the exercise books for each subject and finished the most difficult questions. Of course, he didn't fill them in directly in the exercise books. After all, he had to hand in homework every day, and filling them in completely would seem like a provocation to the teacher. So he just took a blank notebook and wrote down the answers in it.

It's like playing brain teasers for adults, without the pressure and it's actually quite fun.

The other students didn't know what Xu Zhe was doing, but seeing that he was always busy studying, they naturally thought that he was a good student.

After the math class that afternoon, Xu Zhe closed his exercise book and stretched.

Just now in class, he had solved every last difficult problem in the booklet.

Wenhao's voice suddenly rang out: "Why are you pretending to be a good student?"

Xu Zhe raised his head and glanced at his old friend, then asked, "The teacher didn't even notice me, so why should I pretend?"

Wenhao: "So I'm telling you, the teacher isn't even looking at you, so just stop acting! Let's go out and take a walk."

Before he finished speaking, Tao Ying, who sat at the same table, had already quietly moved her chair forward to make room for him to leave.

But Xu Zhe said, "Thank you, I don't want to go out."

Wenhao: “Why?”

Xu Zhe took out another textbook.

Wenhao held his head in his hands: "No way, are you still acting here with me?"

Xu Zhe smiled and said, "Put on a full show. Just turn around slowly, don't worry about me."

Wenhao sighed and walked away.

Xu Zhe opened the textbook.

The female classmate next to me couldn't help asking, "Why are you reading the computer textbook?"

Xu Zhe said without even raising his head: "Because I am more interested in this."

Tao Ying was silent for a while, then said: "I noticed that you never seem to like chatting with anyone, and you are very quiet."

Xu Zhe: "Yes, I am autistic."

Tao Ying: “…”

After a moment, Song Xingye in the front row turned around and looked over.

She asked, "Do you know a lot about... computers?"

Xu Zhe finally raised his head: "I guess so."

Song Xingye stared at him, and suddenly took out a small and unique MP3 player and said, "Here, thank you."

Xu Zhe: “You’re welcome.”

Song Xingye turned back and put on the MP3 headphones.

Tao Ying, who was standing next to him, was already stunned. Less than ten seconds later, she covered her mouth and leaned over to ask quietly, "Did you give that to her?"

Xu Zhe: "No, I just picked it for her. I didn't spend any money. If you want to ask when, it was before school started."

Tao Ying: "So you knew her before?"

Xu Zhe: "We just met once, there is no special relationship."

Tao Ying was silent for a while, then said, "Wenhao is right, you are really good at acting. Even when the class beauty was talking to you, you were still acting so arrogant, you were really too pretentious..."

Xu Zhe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was just not good at socializing, and he had nothing in common with this group of first-year junior high school students, so he was considered to be pretending to be cool.

He changed the subject: "How come I didn't know that there is a class beauty contest in our class?"

Tao Ying: "There's no need for a selection, it's all obvious. If Song Xingye is ranked second, who dares to say they're ranked first?"

Xu Zhe joked, "You?"

Tao Ying blushed slightly: "How could I! Stop it..."

At this moment, Gao Xuefei walked through the aisle next to them and stopped here. To be exact, he stopped next to Song Xingye.

This boy, who was recognized as the most mischievous boy in the class, was 1.7 meters tall, which was obviously taller than other first-year junior high school students. He also looked more mature than other students. Rather than being 12 or 13 years old, he looked more like 14 or 15 years old. This kind of appearance was naturally more suitable for school life.
