Chapter 48 Silly Girl

The next afternoon, there was a math test.

Zhang Yunqi took a nap in the dormitory. When he got up at two o'clock and arrived at the examination room, his classmates had arrived in twos and threes. What surprised him was that Zhao Han, who had arrived earlier for the previous exams, did not walk into the examination room until the exam bell rang.

When passing by Zhang Yunqi's desk, Zhao Han whispered that he would not copy anymore.

Zhang Yunqi didn't say anything, but watched Zhao Han out of the corner of his eyes. Zhao Han didn't stop, but went straight to the lower right seat and sat down, his expression normal.

After Zhang Yunqi finished the test paper, he glanced at Zhao Han calmly. Zhao Han buried his head and worked hard on the questions, without any intention of looking up at him.

This situation continued until the end of the exam, when Zhao Han and Zhang Yunqi handed in their test papers at the same time.

The two of them went out together. Zhao Han thought that Zhang Yunqi would be curious and ask her why she suddenly stopped copying. She had also thought about how to answer, but Zhang Yunqi never asked from beginning to end, and she felt itchy in her heart.

This boy is really unpredictable!
On the third day, we took exams in English, physics and chemistry.

English is Zhang Yunqi's worst subject. His goal is simple: to pass with 150 points out of a total of 90. It's really not nice to think about it. He is a top student, but one day he has to pursue a passing score.

After the teacher handed out the test papers, Zhang Yunqi opened them and read through them from the beginning. It was not as difficult as he had imagined, but there were still some questions that he couldn't understand.

Without thinking much, he picked up the pen and started working.

Amid the rustling sound of pen tips touching the test paper, time passed like water, until the sunlight coming through the glass became hazy, from the coolness of the early morning to the scorching heat of the afternoon, and finally to the warmth of the evening, and the mid-term exam of the Jiangchuan City Eight Schools Alliance came to a quiet end.

Just like that, half of the high school semester passed.

While classmates gathered in groups to check answers, and while a top student was beating his chest for a wrong multiple-choice question, Zhang Yunqi had already rushed to the dormitory at the fastest speed, picked up his handheld device, and rushed into the melting pot of society, plunging into the career of making a fortune and becoming well-off. After all, he still had a great dream, to live like Brother Qiang who didn't know his wife was beautiful, with the red flag of milk tea color at home flying and the colorful flags on the other side of the ocean fluttering.

Every day, after class at noon, Zhang Yunqi would run to a small restaurant outside the school and spend 1 yuan to pack a box lunch. He would ride his bicycle to various middle schools and residential communities in Jiangchuan City to find convenience stores to sell handheld game consoles. He would basically go to two or three stores a day. Sometimes he would be lucky enough to negotiate with all of them, but that was a rare case.

At two o'clock, he rushed back to school for class.

After class at 5:30 in the afternoon, he immediately left school to deliver goods to dealers.

Distributors who were out of stock would call the boys' dormitory. When Old Man Liu answered the phone, he would write down their names, purchase quantity, method and delivery address, and then submit it to Zhang Yunqi that evening.

Zhang Yunqi took advantage of this time at night to deliver the goods.

For him, being late for evening self-study was a common occurrence. Sometimes, when there were too many dealers to deliver goods to, he could not return to school until eight or nine o'clock. He was too lazy to attend evening self-study and went straight back to the dormitory to sleep.

The management of evening self-study in the No. 168 Middle School of the city is actually very strict. There are special teachers on duty, and there are students who are responsible for counting the number of people. The person in charge of counting the number of people in the evening self-study of Class is the discipline committee member Yuan Hua, a guy who is particularly impartial in the eyes of his classmates.

Once, Wang Xiaokai and Tian Zhuangzhuang skipped classes and went to the game hall to play. Yuan Bing remembered their names. Wang Xiaokai ran to him to plead for mercy, but it was of no use. He then handed the list to Jiang Lihua. That day, the two brothers Wang Xiaokai were taken to Jiang Lihua's office and scolded.

Zhang Yunqi was often late for evening self-study, so he also went to find Yuan Bing. He held a handheld device in front of Yuan Bing and said very directly: "Don't let my name appear on the list of absentees. This is your reward." Yuan Bing accepted it.

From then on, Zhang Yunqi's name no longer appeared on the list of students absent from evening self-study classes.

Chu Jian was still the same as usual, often sitting next to Zhang Yunqi during evening self-study. She also found that since the midterm exam, Zhang Yunqi was not so enthusiastic about studying. He was often late, occasionally not coming, and when he came, he was exhausted and had no energy to do the questions.

I don’t know why, but I felt a little worried when I first met her.

Once during evening self-study, Zhang Yunqi came to the classroom at almost eight o'clock. He sat at his seat, smiled at Chu Jian, and then opened his homework book to finish his homework.

When she first saw Zhang Yunqi, who was sweaty and looked tired, she suddenly lost interest in reading. After a while, she wanted to talk to Zhang Yunqi about some of his things, but found that he had dozed off on the desk.

It was already the end of November, and the night weather was chilly. Chu Jian saw that Zhang Yunqi was only wearing a white shirt, and subconsciously picked up the blanket she usually used for naps in the classroom. However, when she covered Zhang Yunqi with the blanket, she looked at the classroom with a red face.

There were not many people in the classroom, most of them were boarders, and most importantly, Wang Xiaokai had asked for leave to go home. This naughty and mischievous guy loved to mess around and make a small matter known to everyone. When she first met him, she simply felt that Zhang Yunqi was her best friend in the class.

After covering Zhang Yunqi with a blanket, Chu Jian took out his textbook and did exercises. Time passed by little by little. The classroom was very quiet. There was a moon outside the window, casting warm light. In between finishing a question, Chu Jian would look at the sleeping Zhang Yunqi. On his Aokiji face, there was the tiredness of those men who work hard in the society when they return home.

When Zhang Yunqi woke up, the evening self-study class had already ended. In the classroom, besides the three boarding students who studied hard, there was also Chu Jian, the only full-time student.

Normally, Chu Jian would have gone home by this time. Zhang Yunqi looked up at the clock on the wall and asked Chu Jian, "It's past ten o'clock, why haven't you gone home yet?"

I didn't expect that Zhang Yunqi's first words after waking up would be like this. I don't know why, but I felt a little disappointed and said, "I just finished the questions and went home."

Zhang Yunqi said: "Go home earlier in the future. You can study hard, but don't work too hard. You are a girl. It's dark at night. The buses have stopped. You don't have a companion. It's not safe to go home alone."

Chu Jian whispered that he knew.

She flattened the rolled-up copy of The Scarlet Letter and stuffed it into her schoolbag, then turned and walked out of the classroom.

Zhang Yunqi shook his head and tidied up the pile of textbooks and homework on his desk. At this time, the blanket draped over his shoulders fell off. He paused, then bent down to pick up the blanket and smelled it. It had a scent of young girl's grass.

Chu Jian walked down the stairs and left the teaching building. At this time, all the students had returned home like tired birds. There were few people on the campus. It was very quiet and cold. She felt an inexplicable chill in her heart.

Arriving at the parking shed, Chu Jian found her bicycle, unlocked it, and pushed it out of the shed. When she got on the bicycle and was about to go home, she unexpectedly saw a figure walking towards her. She was startled for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "What are you doing here?"

"Nothing, just sending a silly girl home."

P.S. I will stay up late to code the second chapter as promised. It will probably be very late, so go to bed early. Good night.
