1987 My Era

Chapter 34: Facing Death

"I have always been fair. You are students, and the most important thing is your grades. So don't blame me if you are seated according to grades. Blame yourselves for not working hard enough.

If you have the ability, work hard to prove yourself, do well in the midterm exam, and choose a good seat.

Don’t tell me that you have poor eyesight, are not tall enough, and can’t see clearly so you move the stool to the front of the aisle…”

The head teacher Wang Qi coldly explained his own logic, and then asked the boys to line up in one line and the girls in another line.

It doesn't matter if the team is from high to low, as long as it is neat and quiet.

After the whole class lined up, Wang Qi took out a report card from his pocket and said:

"I'll call out a name, and you'll go in and choose a seat. You'll have to decide on your seat in advance, and no changes are allowed unless there are special circumstances."

In short, it means one thing: no matter who you are, you only have one chance, and it won’t wait for you if you miss it!
"Song Yu!"

Song Yu was the top student at the end of last semester, so she had the first choice.

After entering the classroom, she walked straight to her seat in the fourth row of the sixth group.

The reason is very simple: last semester she sat on the right side of the classroom, and this semester she moved to the left side to ensure balanced vision of her left and right eyes.

This is how students with good grades choose their seats, and it has almost become a convention.

"Wheat ears!"

Mai Sui's total score in the final exam was 3 points lower than Song Yu's, so she had the second choice.

No one cared much about where Mai Sui sat, because based on past practice, everyone knew with their eyes closed that she would choose the fourth row in the fifth group and continue to sit at the same table with Song Yu.

It's so boring. These two women always choose each other. They don't give anyone else any chance to get close to them.

Just when everyone thought Mai Sui was going to walk towards Song Yu, an accident suddenly happened.

Mai Sui stood in the aisle and smiled apologetically at Song Yu, then she chose the third row of the sixth group and sat in front of Song Yu.

Song Yu looked puzzled and stared at the other person quietly.

Wheat Ear helplessly explained: "Someone bribed me with two oranges and two apples, and I was not allowed to refuse."

Hearing this, Song Yu didn't ask who it was, but she had a vague answer in her heart.

In Class 204, there are not many people who can get such face from Mai Sui. She is one, Manning is one, and the other is Zijin.

But Chen Zijin stopped coming after finishing his second year of high school and went to Beijing.

As the two girls faced each other, the head teacher read out the third name:

"Li Heng!"

Li Heng left the boys' team and stepped into the classroom.

In Class 204, if the boys were most concerned about Song Yu and Mai Sui, then Li Heng was definitely the one that the girls were most concerned about.

Perhaps this attention will not be strong or distinct. It may just be a smile when you meet on the road, or even disappear after graduation.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Li Heng walked slowly and almost without stopping to the fourth row of seats in the fifth group.

He smiled slightly, revealing his neat white teeth, and said to Mai Sui: "It's the last semester of high school. Forgive me for taking your deskmate. I really want to learn foreign languages ​​with Song Yu."

Mai Sui didn't respond, but just looked at his friend Song Yu meaningfully, observing the micro-expressions on her face.

But to Mai Sui's disappointment, Song Yu was as calm as ever and even greeted Li Heng who was sitting down.

In fact, she had already been mentally prepared for this outcome since her friend's unusual choice of seat.

In other words, the strangeness that Li Heng showed when he was alone with her yesterday revealed a lot of things.

Li Heng chose this seat with emotion, desire and ambition.

Song Yu knew this very well.

But now that things have come to this, she can't stop it and can only take care of herself.

Unlike the peaceful coexistence in the classroom, outside the classroom is now in chaos.

The girl looked at Li Heng through the window glass in surprise, and finally understood why the wheat ears were abnormal.

The boys were filled with a mixture of envy, jealousy and a desire to watch the show, and they all started to cheer in low voices.

Relying on his good grades, Liu Yejiang was accustomed to being bold and used to shouting with his hands like a trumpet: "Li Heng, you don't like Song Yu, do you?"

With just one sentence, the crowd, who were already making a fuss, laughed like pigs.

The head teacher Wang Qi frowned and glanced at Li Heng and Song Yu, then turned to Liu Yejiang, his face instantly stretched longer than a horse:
"Liu Yejiang, you were ranked 5th at the end of last semester, so you should be the 15th."

Hearing this, Liu Yejiang almost cried.

He didn't have the courage to get close to Song Yu and Mai Sui, but he still had some thoughts about Chen Lijun, the third prettiest girl in the class.

originally!

Originally thinking that this was his last semester, and making long-term plans for after graduation, he decided to take the risk and sit with Chen Lijun this time. But it was the 15th choice, so what was the point of sitting there!
Liu Yejiang lowered his head with a sad face: "Teacher, I was wrong." Wang Qi ignored him and continued reading: "Chen Lijun, it's your turn."

Chen Lijun walked into the classroom and looked around. She originally wanted to sit with Mai Sui as the college entrance examination was approaching and she hoped to use Mai Sui to stimulate herself.

But when she thought of what Sun Manning had said before, she didn't try to grab it, but gave up. In the end, she chose the fourth row in the seventh group, which was across the aisle from Song Yu.

Those with good grades are like this, they like to sit in groups because the good learning atmosphere and fierce competition make them dare not slack off.

Just imagine that everyone around you is working hard to practice questions and memorize the lessons. Do you still dare to play around? Do you still dare to relax?
Schools and teachers are also happy to see such things happen. Not only do they ignore it, but they will intentionally or unintentionally transfer away those troublemakers to avoid affecting students with good grades.

The fifth one originally belonged to Liu Yejiang, but was replaced by Liu Li.

Li Heng pursed his lips at him, motioning him to sit with Chen Lijun.

Facing the gazes of Li Heng, Song Yu, Mai Sui and Chen Lijun, Liu Li, who was ready to make a move, scratched his head habitually with his right hand, but gave up. He didn't have the courage and finally sat behind Li Heng with his head down.

Li Heng asked quietly: "Why?"

Liu Li blushed and replied with two words: "I dare not."

Li Heng was angry and said, "Coward!"

Liu Li rubbed her hands in panic: "Stop scolding me, I am indeed a coward."

Li Heng: "..."

Song Yu, who accidentally heard the conversation between the two, smiled beautifully. When she saw Li Heng looking at her, she shifted her gaze away unnoticeably.

...

It took more than half an hour to line up for a seat.

Sun Manning and Mai Sui became deskmates.

The rich woman sat down and joked, "Li Heng, you still can't get rid of my shadow."

Look what this said...

If you don't know, you would really think that this girl likes him.

But the fact is, after graduating from high school in his previous life, Sun Manning slowly disappeared from his world. Not to mention any ambiguity, even the basic contact as friends only lasted a few years before it was completely cut off.

Because of his foul mouth, Liu Yejiang lost the opportunity to sit at the same table with Chen Lijun.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yejiang’s best friend Zou Aiming became Chen Lijun’s deskmate.

Many people thought it was a coincidence, including Liu Yejiang and Liu Li, who didn't take it too seriously.

But that's not the case.

According to Li Heng's memory, Zou Aiming had been harassing Chen Lijun since he graduated from high school, and had been pursuing her for seven or eight years.

Don’t ask him how he knew, because they were junior high school classmates, and because Zou Aiming was from the neighboring village, and the two families were only 30 minutes’ walk away.

After the seats were rearranged, the head teacher walked to the podium and gave a speech to encourage everyone to study hard and prepare for the college entrance examination.

Then he said, "The scholarship exam will be held this weekend. Students ranked in the top 120 in the school should prepare early. I heard that the questions this time are very difficult."

The special scholarship is worth 200 yuan, and there are only 6 places for senior high school students in the whole school, 3 each for liberal arts and science.

Don’t underestimate 200 yuan. In this era when skilled workers in the countryside only make 2 yuan a day, it takes almost half a year to earn this amount of money.

It’s definitely a huge sum of money!

However, Li Heng has never been able to win the special scholarship.

Because the first and second place students in the next door class 205 were also super academic masters, his best record in history was only fifth in the whole school.

After talking about the scholarship, the head teacher changed the subject and said to Li Heng expressionlessly:

"Li Heng, come to my office."

When the whole class heard Jiu Qiansui personally calling the name, they all looked over. They were all smart people and almost understood why the head teacher asked Li Heng to go to the office.

It’s just a matter of seating!

It’s none other than Song Yu!

Li Heng felt the same way, but he was ready to die. He stood up straight and walked out of the classroom in a leisurely manner under the gaze of everyone.

Song Yu glanced at his back twice secretly, then quietly found the exercise book, unscrewed the pen, and started to do the questions.

Once the door is closed, the office instantly becomes a small world isolated from the noise outside.

Wang Qi was seen sitting in the office chair with a serious look on his face, not saying a word, just looking at Li Heng with a serious expression.

ps: I’m afraid you’ll have to wait for a long time, so I’ll update first and make changes later.

ps: Um, I have to say in advance that March’s writing style has always been like this, tending towards life writing. It may bring a bad experience to you guys, sorry.
