The sky was dark, and it was drizzling.
The walls were white, and the roof tiles were gray.
Moss crawled up the walls, and the Boston creeper crawled out of the courtyard to look at the new world outside. The wooden door was old and peeling, but the copper lock had been polished to a shiny shine due to the passage of time.
In this remote and narrow alley, there were usually very few people passing by here. Only a few old residents walked in and out. Occasionally, a photographer with a unique eye would bring a girl in a white dress over to take artistic photos, and then take her to a room to have sex.
However, today, there was a large crowd gathered in this alley.
Forty students in raincoats stood in this alley, chatting and laughing in groups of two or three. The line stretched infinitely, and it looked quite lively and spectacular.
2: 30 PM. It was the time for classes at Rosefinch Secondary.
A student looked at his watch and said, "Huang Haoran, why isn't Mr. Fang here yet? It's almost time for class. "
"That's right. He asked you to bring us here, so why isn't he here yet? "
"Don't worry, everyone. Mr. Fang must have gone to borrow a boat. Didn't he borrow a boat at Sparrow River last time? "
"Li Hao, are you crazy? This isn't Sparrow River. Where did Mr. Fang go to borrow a boat? Where did he come from if he borrowed a boat? "
"I'm just joking. You really don't have a sense of humor … "
…
Huang Haoran frowned slightly, hesitating if he should give Mr. Fang another call to urge him.
Zheng Guodong, Li Yang, and Chen Tao had also come to class today, because they really couldn't take any more days off. Moreover, if they kept taking days off, even if Fang Yan couldn't control them, they would have already lost the war.
However, they had learned their lesson and didn't rashly say anything to start a war.
Chen Tao took out a cigarette and smoked it, then took the initiative to light it for Zheng Guodong. He said sarcastically, "I wonder what this idiot is up to this time."
"Maybe it's a surprise?" Zheng Guodong laughed coldly. "In any case, we'll just follow the plan we discussed. We won't take the initiative to provoke him in order to avoid giving him something to use against us. This time, even Zhang Shaofeng, that old fellow, stood up to protect him. Even my father is not very easy to talk to … However, if you don't court death, you won't die. With this guy's personality, sooner or later, he'll help us catch him. At that time, we'll kill him in one strike and chase him away. "
"Zheng is right." Li Yang agreed. "Let's just watch from the sidelines and wait for him to make a mistake."
"Didn't I already make a mistake?" Chen Tao chuckled. "It's class time, but the teacher is nowhere to be seen. Do you think we should report this to the school?"
"As the class monitor of Class Nine, I should make a phone call to the Academic Affairs Office." Zheng Guodong said proudly as he took out his phone from his pocket and prepared to dial.
"Mr Fang is here," someone in front exclaimed.
Then, a group of people rushed in the direction where Fang Yan came from.
Just now, Zheng Guodong and the other two were still standing in the middle of the crowd. In the blink of an eye, half of the alley was only left with the three of them standing there alone.
The three of them felt a little sad in their hearts. It seemed that they had been separated from the majority of the people.
"Zheng …" Li Yang looked at Zheng Guodong with an embarrassed expression.
Now, they were faced with a dilemma. If they joined in, they would feel very embarrassed. If they insisted, not only them, but probably all the students would feel embarrassed …
"I'm the class monitor. I still have to maintain discipline." Zheng Guodong said.
"Yes, yes. That's it. "Li Yang said with a smile.
Fang Yan looked at the smiles on the students' faces and knew that they were happy and looking forward to the two classes today.
This was the effect he wanted. If the students wanted to learn and were willing to learn, there was no need to worry about their grades.
"Huang Haoran, is everyone here?" Fang Yan asked.
"There are forty-one people in the class. Qin Yitian isn't here yet, "Huang Haoran said. "He didn't ask for leave either."
"Yes." Fang Yan nodded. "Qin Yitian will be here in a while."
Since Qin Yitian had already asked for leave from Fang Yan, Huang Haoran had nothing else to say.
Fang Yan looked at everyone with a smile and asked, "Now, you should know which text we're going to learn today, right?"
"Alley in the Rain," all the students shouted in unison.
They were learning "Farewell to Cambridge Again" on the Sparrow River. It was raining today, and they were brought to this old alley by the language class representative. How could they not know which text they were going to learn today?
"That's right. Today, we're going to learn" Alley in the Rain, "Fang Yan said with a smile. "We've learned 'Farewell to Cambridge Again' earlier, so everyone should have a basic understanding of modern poetry. I've also let everyone try to compose a poem, and quite a few of you wrote quite well … Today, let's strike while the iron is hot and continue to deepen everyone's impression and … feeling of poetry. "
"Teacher, are you going to read us a poem?" a student asked.
"Yes, reading in this' Alley in the Rain, 'it feels so good …"
"Mr. Fang, you're so cool. You surprise us every time. "
…
Fang Yan waved his hand and said, "Shh, everyone, keep quiet."
All the students held their breath, knowing that Teacher Fang Yan was about to start the class.
Fang Yan combed his hair, making it look even messier.
Then, he borrowed a pair of black-rimmed glasses from a male student and put them on the bridge of his nose, making him look more artistic.
Bang!
He opened the oil-paper umbrella in his hand and raised it to cover his head.
Fang Yan held the umbrella and walked to the middle of the alley. He looked into the distance and softly recited, "Holding the oil-paper umbrella, alone."
Wandering for a long, long time.
And a lonely alley in the rain.
I hope to meet
A girl like a lilac
A girl with a grudge
…
Clack!
Clack!
Clack!
A girl wearing a white qipao with floral patterns slowly walked over. Her long hair was coiled up on top of her head, and the red high heels on her feet tapped on the stone path, producing a clear and melodious sound.
"Heavens, there's really a lilac girl …"
"That's Qin Yitian, it's Qin Yitian …"
"Oh my god, Qin Yitian is so beautiful. She's so beautiful … My goddess …"
…
Even Zheng Guodong, Li Yang, and Chen Tao were excited. Zheng Guodong grinned and said, "Fortunately, we're here. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to see Qin Yitian …"
"Shh." Huang Haoran was the class representative of the Chinese department. He had the responsibility to maintain class discipline. Now that the students were disturbing Teacher Fang Yan's class, he could only stand up and remind everyone to keep quiet.
Seeing Huang Haoran's action, the students immediately fell silent.
Zheng Guodong opened his mouth, but he finally swallowed the words he wanted to say. He was afraid of causing public anger, and even more afraid of incurring the wrath of the goddess.
He was also a pursuer and admirer of Qin Yitian.
Fang Yan was more and more satisfied with Huang Haoran. He thought to himself, "I'll hold an election in a few days to promote Huang Haoran as the class representative of the Chinese department."
"It would be great if I could remove Zheng Guodong as the class monitor. As the class monitor, he didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a class monitor. Instead, he brought about an extremely negative impact on the class."
"Unfortunately, Fang Yan isn't the class monitor, so he can't decide the appointment of the class monitor."
"I'm the descendant of Fang's Tai Chi, but I can't decide the appointment of the class monitor, a small student official … There doesn't seem to be any connection between the two, right?"
The alley quieted down again. Only the sound of wind and rain, as well as the tapping of high heels on the ground, could be heard.
Qin Yitian, who was holding an oil-paper umbrella, got closer and closer. Her simple, elegant, and beautiful face became more and more refreshing.
In the past, Qin Yitian always wore a school uniform and casual clothes. She was straightforward and simple. Other than the occasional baseball cap on her head, she had almost no ornaments on her body.
But even so, she was still beautiful, elegant, and one of a kind. Qin Yitian.
No matter where she stood alone, she was a queen.
She stood with a group of people, but she was still a queen.
It was the first time they saw Qin Yitian wearing a cheongsam. It was the first time they saw her coiled her long hair on top of her head, revealing her slender, swan-like neck. It was the first time they saw her showing off her tall and curvy figure. It was also the first time they saw her wearing red high heels that seemed to be able to step into the depths of one's soul.
When Fang Yan saw Qin Yitian wearing a cheongsam for the first time, he felt his heart skip a beat.
These boys had even worse self-control. Their eyes were fixed on her, and some students didn't even realize that they were drooling.
"Isn't she too beautiful?" they thought in their hearts.
Fang Yan's voice pulled them back to reality in time. He recited with anticipation and affection,
"She has …"
"The color of lilacs …"
So, all the students looked at Qin Yitian's color.
In the hazy smoke, she walked over gracefully, like a goddess.
No, she was a goddess.
"The fragrance of lilacs …"
Although they didn't smell it, no one would deny that Qin Yitian had the fragrance of lilacs. Oh, it was even more fragrant than lilacs.
"The sadness of lilacs …"
Qin Yitian's face was expressionless as she walked with her umbrella in hand.
However, at this time and place, in this situation, they all felt that Qin Yitian was indeed sad and lonely.
She was so excellent and had no friends. How could she not be lonely?
"Sorrowful in the rain …"
"Sorrowful and hesitant …"
…
Qin Yitian walked towards Fang Yan, and the two walked forward face to face.
"The girl floated past me …"
"She silently went far, far away …"
"To the decadent fence …"
"Walked through this rainy alley …"
Qin Yitian and Fang Yan brushed past each other. The two didn't speak, didn't nod to greet each other, and didn't make eye contact.
The two strangers in the vast sea of people met by fate, but they didn't know each other.
As the high heels walked further and further away, Fang Yan couldn't help but turn around and look. Her expression was confused, and her eyes were sad.
"It's like a sad love story," a girl said in a low voice, her eyes red.
