Zhang Yansheng glanced at her phone during breakfast and was a little surprised that Xu Lichen hadn't sent her a message.
Maybe it was because they weren't in the same class and hadn't interacted with each other that Xu Lichen didn't like her as much as before?
That didn't matter. Everyone had their own lives. Even after graduation, they went their separate ways. It was up to fate.
Zhang Yansheng bumped into Zhang Zhiyuan between classes. Zhang Yansheng nodded and stepped aside to let him pass.
Zhang Zhiyuan stopped and asked, "Did you catch up on yesterday's notes?"
Zhang Yansheng said, "I did. Thanks."
Zhang Zhiyuan smiled, "If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me."
That wouldn't do. Although she felt that it was a little cold and heartless, it was really "for your own good." Zhang Yansheng tried to be as cold as possible, "Okay."
Zhang Zhiyuan didn't notice her coldness.
Zhang Yansheng was usually very cold and didn't speak much. She was like this to both boys and girls.
The girls weren't afraid of her and all of them loved to act coquettishly with her. The more helpless she was, the happier the girls were.
In contrast, the boys kept a distance from her. However, Zhang Yansheng seemed to treat Zhang Zhiyuan differently.
Zhang Yansheng often borrowed Zhang Zhiyuan's notes and questions. However, the two of them were separated by gender and were separated by a few rows. Furthermore, Zhang Zhiyuan's grades weren't the best in the class — some students liked to find the top three students to ask questions.
Of course, no one knew that Zhang Zhiyuan was the future top scorer in the college entrance exam. Therefore, when they saw how Zhang Yansheng treated Zhang Zhiyuan differently, they couldn't help but have some thoughts.
These thoughts didn't have any ill intentions. They were more like watching a show. After all, they were at this age.
Zhang Yansheng was fine. When the girls who were close to her asked her directly, she immediately denied it. She was always cold and concise, so the girls didn't chase after her and ask her questions.
However, on the boys' side, many of them often teased Zhang Zhiyuan. Occasionally, everyone would join in the fun.
Although Zhang Zhiyuan spent most of his time on his studies, studying wasn't everything in his life. He was in the prime of his youth and Zhang Yansheng was such an attractive girl. It was as if spring had arrived in his heart.
Zhang Zhiyuan still hadn't noticed Zhang Yansheng's coldness. It took him almost a week to realize it. It took him a few days to prepare his emotions, mentally prepare himself, and finally make up his mind.
Just like that, half a month passed and Christmas arrived.
This foreign festival, which had become a shopping festival, a carnival, and a virgin festival, had nothing to do with public school students. Especially this year, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day were both working days, so it had nothing to do with them.
The more westernized teachers would even say "Merry Christmas". The conservative teacher immediately scolded, "What Saint? What do foreign religions have to do with us? Our country only has one saint, and his birthday is on the 27th day of the eighth lunar month! "
However, on Christmas Day, the homeroom teacher still gave each of them a lollipop in the shape of a Christmas tree. She said with a smile, "I'll let you guys enjoy it first. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, everyone's favorite monthly exam will start again."
Damn it, who likes monthly exams!
The students held their lollipops in their mouths and protested in unison.
It took two days for the main subject and the secondary subject to be finished. After another two days, the ranking was released.
Immediately after, Xu Lichen, who had been quiet for a long time, reappeared behind the subway station.
"Let me tell you two things." He crossed his arms and said, "First, Wang Qian transferred schools."
This news stunned Zhang Yansheng for a few seconds. She subconsciously asked, "Why did she transfer schools? When did she transfer? Why? "
In her previous life, she and Xu Lichen were both expelled from school, but Wang Qian stayed on unscathed. Why was it the opposite in this life? She didn't do anything to Wang Qian.
Xu Lichen was also a bit surprised. He didn't want to focus on Wang Qian, but he didn't expect Zhang Yansheng to care so much about Wang Qian.
He raised his eyebrows and said with a bit of schadenfreude, "She was ostracized by the girls in our class, the ones who followed her to teach you a lesson."
Every dog has its day. It was always Wang Qian who led people to ostracize others. She didn't expect that one day she would fall into this situation.
The small group worked together to betray Wang Qian for their own interests. When the punishment was announced, Wang Qian understood.
The alliance that had not been formed out of friendship in the first place was not so firm, but now, it had collapsed.
After doing such a thing, those few people weren't magnanimous. They didn't believe that Wang Qian would be magnanimous enough to forgive them. Since it was already like this, they could only push Wang Qian to the opposite side.
These few people worked together to isolate and ostracize Wang Qian.
Wang Qian was beautiful. If only the girls ostracized her, it wouldn't be to the point where she had to transfer schools. But the boys had Xu Lichen.
Xu Lichen had already established his status as a mafia boss in class eight. He took the initiative to step on Wang Qian. Wang Qian really couldn't stay in this class.
No.1 Middle School divided the classes according to grades. With Wang Qian's grades, there was no possibility of changing classes. In the end, she cried to her family and asked them to transfer her to another school.
Her parents even came to the school and quarreled with the Head of Teaching. They believed that their daughter was a victim, including the previous punishment, which was framed by other girls and made her take the blame.
The Head of Teaching was so angry that his blood pressure rose.
This happened on Christmas Day. Wang Qian didn't participate in the monthly exam and left directly.
Zhang Yansheng didn't expect such a reversal in this life. Everyone's life trajectory had more or less shifted. Wang Qian's situation seemed to be directly caused by the ostracization of the small group and Xu Lichen adding fuel to the fire. But if one looked carefully, the fundamental reason was Zhang Yansheng.
This was because Zhang Yansheng had changed. This change was like a kind of energy that spread out with her as the center, whether lightly or heavily, affecting others.
Xu Lichen couldn't see Zhang Yansheng's attitude from her expression. She seemed to be a little worried about Wang Qian's situation. Was it necessary? Wang Qian wasn't anyone to her.
"Hey!" He called out to her and asked with a smile, "What? You still can't bear to part with Wang Qian? "
Zhang Yansheng came back to her senses and ignored his teasing. She asked directly, "You said first just now. What about second?"
It would have been better if she didn't ask. Now that she asked, Xu Lichen's tail was about to curl up.
He smiled proudly and threw away the roll of paper in his hand. He picked up Zhang Yansheng's hand and put it in hers. "Look!"
It was a photocopy of the report card with the ranking of the grade. It was partially photocopied, but mainly printed in Xu Lichen's column.
Zhang Yansheng: "Emmmmm …"
Xu Lichen said proudly, "Do you understand now?"
Zhang Yansheng raised her head. "I said before that I don't talk to people who are ranked in the bottom 100, with the 100th place included in the brackets."
"I knew you didn't understand." Xu Lichen was even more proud. "Look at my ranking. If you count backward, I'm the 101st place!"
So, he added her as a friend but never sent her a message because he was suppressing his anger here?
This really was Xu Lichen's personality.
The two of them actually had a lot in common. They weren't stupid, but they both liked to go down a dead end. Plus, they were both chuunibyou …
Zhang Yansheng was expressionless. "You calculated wrong."
Xu Lichen was stunned. "What? Impossible! "
"When you counted backward, you used the total number of people in the previous grade." Zhang Yansheng was even more expressionless. "But Wang Qian transferred out on Christmas Day. She didn't even take the monthly exam. You forgot to count her. So, you're the 100th place from the bottom of the grade. "
As Zhang Yansheng spoke, she slapped the piece of paper on Xu Lichen's chest. "Keep it up." She swung her hand and walked away.
Xu Lichen clutched the piece of paper and was completely stunned.
He unfolded the copy paper and did some calculations in his heart … Wasn't that right? If he subtracted one person, he would go from the 101st place to the 100th place from the bottom.
"…" Xu Lichen crumpled the copy paper into a ball.
This was really indescribably annoying!
The car stopped at a traffic light about a hundred meters away from the subway station. Xiao Zhou looked in the rearview mirror several times and finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss Yanyan, why are you so happy today?"
He saw that Zhang Yansheng had been smiling ever since she got into the car.
Zhang Yansheng tried to hold it in a few times, but failed. In the end, she covered her forehead and laughed until she trembled. "Nothing, there's just a silly guy …"
She smiled and bit her lip, but didn't say anything else.
Xiao Zhou thought to himself that he hadn't seen her smile like this since he was hired by the Zhang family.
On the other hand, Zhang Zhiyuan finally made up his mind the next day and called out to Zhang Yansheng when school was over.
Zhang Yansheng was a little surprised. Ever since she started paying attention to keeping a distance from Zhang Zhiyuan, they hadn't spoken for a few days.
"What's up?" she asked.
Zhang Zhiyuan nervously pursed his lips and said, "That … Why haven't you been asking me questions recently?"
Zhang Yansheng thought to herself, Was it too deliberate? Did she notice?
"I've been asking Gao Xiaoxiao recently. She's sitting in front of me." Zhang Yansheng said, "You're so far away from me."
Zhang Zhiyuan's mind was clear and he knew that this was a lie. Gao Xiaoxiao had always been sitting in front of Zhang Yansheng, but Zhang Yansheng had always specially run over to him to ask for questions.
So why would Zhang Yansheng lie about this matter?
The teenager was no longer nervous. He lowered his eyes and thought for a few seconds before saying, "Did you hear a joke from your classmates?"
Zhang Yansheng asked curiously, "What joke?"
Zhang Zhiyuan said, "A joke about you and me."
Zhang Yansheng understood. It was the kind of joke that the boys would make when they were bored. They actually didn't dare to joke in front of Zhang Yansheng, but it was inevitable that she would hear some of the boys laughing and fooling around.
She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Everyone is just playing around. They don't have any bad intentions, so don't mind them."
She thought for a while and said, "If you don't like it, I'll tell them."
If she didn't care about those jokes, then why?
Zhang Zhiyuan finally asked, "Then why did you …"
At this age, being questioned so bluntly was still a little difficult for him to adapt. Zhang Zhiyuan nervously licked his lips and paused for a moment before he finished his sentence, "… Why are you distancing yourself from me? Did I make you unhappy in any way? "
The teenager's eyes were clear and clean. There was no scheming, no hostility, and they were as clear as spring water.
It was as if being stared at by such a gaze could be purified.
At this moment, Zhang Yansheng was envious.
A fifteen-year-old person should live like this.
