"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you anymore. You're the best, okay?" There was no way the aunt could win the argument with Teacher Song, so she had to give up.

"Teacher Song, please be happy~" I naturally didn't know what to say, so I could only wish Teacher Song the best and go back to my room.

……

"I made a doghouse for Xiaobai~"

Shortly after returning to the room, Xiaoling took out a cardboard box from somewhere and showed it off to us.

"kennel?"

"Yes. Although it's only temporary, this doghouse is very comfortable. There are soft clothes underneath, so Xiaobai won't sleep on the hard floor."

Xiaoling showed us her masterpiece, which was actually just a cardboard box with a hole cut in it and some clothes stuffed inside.

"It's fine, but the weather is so hot now, Xiaobai will get hot to death if he sleeps in there." Tang Xin didn't have the heart to dampen Xiaoling's enthusiasm, but worried that Xiaobai would die of the heat, she said it anyway.

"It seems so." Xiaoling nodded thoughtfully.

"Wait a minute! Where did you get these clothes?" I looked at the clothes in the paper box and felt they looked familiar, so I asked quickly.

"Oh, clothes. Where did you get my sister's clothes?"

"???" I was startled and quickly got up to check the box. However, it was too late. Xiaoling had already cut the clothes into rags.

"Hey." Xiaoling smiled awkwardly and touched her head.

"Xiaoling! Why did you cut my clothes?" I was very angry. Why did Xiaoling suddenly do such a strange thing?

"I just think my sister's clothes are too worn out. She always wears the same few pieces over and over again. I know my sister is very frugal, but I still want her to wear some beautiful clothes."

I was very angry just now, and I was about to vent a few words, but suddenly I was stuck. How should I respond to this? Aren’t these T-shirts and shirts pretty good-looking? I clearly tried them on in front of the mirror.

"Look, your sister loves you so much." Tang Xin seemed a little envious, "It would be great if I had such a good sister."

"Are these really so tacky?" I turned and asked Tang Xin.

"Yeah, otherwise why would I take you shopping for clothes before?" Tang Xin nodded in agreement.

"Okay. In the end, my clothes were used as a dog house, and I can't even get angry." I sighed deeply.

"Don't be angry, sister. Xiaoling has bought new clothes for you!" Xiaoling's mischievous look really makes people helpless.

In the end, Xiaobai's doghouse was finally completed. In the improved doghouse, Xiaoling made extra ventilation holes around the cardboard box to dissipate heat inside. At the same time, there was only a thin layer of my clothes inside, and the rest of the fabric was moved to the base outside the doghouse. Xiaoling meant a mattress to increase Xiaobai's comfort when sleeping inside.

Xiaobai seemed very satisfied with this doghouse. It seemed that he knew that this thing Xiaoling made for him was his home. As soon as he put it on the ground, he walked in immediately, walked around inside and sniffed something. After confirming that it was safe, he lay down on his back inside.

"It looks like Xiaobai is very satisfied?" Teacher Song couldn't help laughing at this simple doghouse.

"Of course, Xiaobai's House No. 2 took me a lot of effort!" Xiaoling smiled happily, as if she had received some great encouragement.

"Then why are you using your sister's clothes? Why don't you use your own?" The aunt also knew what Xiaoling did and complained.

"Xiaobai seems to like the smell of sister's clothes and is always sniffing around. Using sister's clothes to make a nest for Xiaobai has the effect of soothing Xiaobai." Xiaoling said confidently.

After hearing what she said, my aunt, Teacher Song, and Tang Xin all looked at me and laughed with ill intent.

My face turned red. "How can that be possible! Xiaoling, I think you are going to go against your sister tonight!"

I really want to sleep in Xiaobai’s doghouse!

Chapter 175 Bad News

The summer vacation passed in a blink of an eye. Although I had almost no rest throughout the entire summer vacation, and the only short vacation was caused by a typhoon, but looking back after the summer vacation, it was not as painful as I had imagined. Every day I went to school, went to class, ate, and went back to the dormitory. The only thing that might leave some memories for me was Xiaobai.

The autumn heat in September is very severe and the temperature is still high, but the cicadas seem to be tired, and their former hoarse calls have turned into weak ones now.

The new first-year high school students have started school. Parents accompany their children who have just graduated from junior high school to school, making this day special.

Tang Xin and I stood at the school gate hand in hand.

"In the blink of an eye, we are already in the third year of high school." I was filled with emotion at the moment.

Tang Xin smiled and replied, "Yes, we will be college students in one year. Are you looking forward to it?"

"Expectations?" I thought hard, "It seems that I don't have any expectations. I just want to be a child forever and go to high school with Tang Xin forever~"

"What? Why is Xiaomeng still so childish?" Tang Xin took my hand and walked towards the school.

"Childish? That's true. You're an adult now, but you still like to act like a child." I said self-deprecatingly.

"Huh? What?"

"nothing."

When I came to the classroom, the students didn't seem to be very enthusiastic about reading. The morning reading was sparse, many students were lying on the table to catch up on their sleep, and some were doing their homework.

Teacher Song appeared in the classroom as usual wearing high heels, but there seemed to be a thick book in her hands.

"Classmates, from today on, we are officially senior high school students! As seniors in the school, the teacher hopes that you can set a good example, both in study and in daily behavior. Do not do uncivilized things on campus, such as littering..."

Teacher Song talked incessantly at the podium, and the students had a hard time dealing with him. After all, this kind of sermon remained the same year after year.

"Okay, students, you have seen what I have in my hand just now~" Teacher Song shook the thick book in his hand.

"Countdown book~" Teacher Song held it up, "Class monitor, hang it up~"

"As you can see, we still have 279 days until the college entrance examination. To be honest, it's less than a year. Don't you think time flies? I still remember how you introduced yourselves when you first came to school in your freshman year."

The monitor took the thick countdown booklet from Teacher Song and put it on a rusty nail next to the blackboard, as if that place was originally used to hang this thing.

With the countdown as a spur, the lazy students seemed to work harder, at least much harder than before Teacher Song came.

……

"Xiao Meng, where do you want to study in college?" During the break, Jiang Yu poked me on the back and suddenly asked a distant question.

"Me?" I looked at Tang Xin, who also looked curious. "I don't know. The scores haven't come out yet."

"Hey, don't you know? Good schools should prepare for early admissions." Jiang Yu seemed to have seen an alien.

"Oh, early admissions." The vague memory became clearer. In fact, it was a strategy of some colleges and universities to recruit students. They would give outstanding students from various high schools a chance to take the exam in advance. Those with high scores would enter the interview, and those who passed the exam could take the college entrance examination and get the privilege of extra points. In other words, if they failed the college entrance examination, they could enter these schools with the extra points.

"I haven't thought about it yet, let's just try them all." I smiled and said, "I'll go to whichever school Tang Xin gets admitted to."

"Ah? There's quite a big gap between you and Tang Xin, right?" Jiang Yu was a little incredulous.

"This is our unbreakable alliance! You don't understand!" Tang Xin was delighted. She hooked one hand around my neck and kept sticking to me.

"Stop it, it's so heavy!" Tang Xin put all her strength on my neck, which naturally made her feel uncomfortable.

"Hehe." Tang Xin was satisfied and let go of her hand.

"Cough cough..." A coughing sound suddenly rang out, and I don't know when, Teacher Song stood behind us.

"Ah, Teacher Song." I was scared and turned around to give Jiang Yu a cold look. This kid is not kind. Didn't he tell us that Teacher Song was coming?

He frowned and shook his head quickly, as if trying to distance himself from the matter: It's unfair, I didn't see it either.

"What's the Morse code?" Teacher Song couldn't help laughing as he looked at the two of us. "Xiao Meng, come out. I have something to tell you."

"Oh!" I nodded and followed him out, not forgetting to glare at Jiang Yu fiercely.

I followed Teacher Song to her office, and she gave me a chair to sit on. The air conditioner was on in the office, and it was much cooler than the classroom. Most of the teachers seemed to have gone to class, and there were only three teachers left in the physics group grading homework in the office.

"What do you think about being in the third year of high school?" Teacher Song poured a cup of hot wolfberry tea and sat down.

"Nothing... nothing, about the same." While answering like this, my eyes were fixed on Teacher Song's teacup.

Teacher Song saw that I was staring at the wolfberries and her face turned red. “What are you doing? Your aunt bought them for me.”

"Oh, I see." I nodded, seeming to understand something.

"What did you understand? You understood!" Teacher Song rolled his eyes at me and handed me a piece of chocolate. "It's hush money."

"Hehe." I nodded.

"Teacher Song, I'm looking for you. I want to ask you for help again."

"Go on~" I nodded again. I was used to it anyway.

"I might, I just said maybe." Teacher Song looked a little nervous, "Maybe I won't teach you in the third year of high school."

"Ah?" I was so scared that I almost dropped the chocolate in my hand.

"Ha, it's just a possibility. Don't be so nervous." Teacher Song comforted me, "The school may think I'm not suitable to teach senior high school students."

"What's wrong with it?" I couldn't sit still anymore and stood up angrily. "Teacher Song has improved our physics performance since he came here. We are one of the best in the grade, and other comprehensive subjects are also among the best. How could he not be a good teacher?"

"Don't get excited, don't get excited." Teacher Song took my hand and told me to sit down and not get so excited. All the teachers around me looked over.

"I just, um. How should I put it, anyway, this is what the leader means. I will try my best to continue teaching you, but there are some things that are ultimately not up to me to decide."

"So Teacher Song wants me to?"

"Nothing else. If I'm not here anymore, I hope you can take care of the class. It's the last year, so don't let my departure cause the class to lose its cohesion. It's good to keep the status quo, and pay more attention to everyone's studies. I'm really worried."

As she spoke, Teacher Song's eyes turned red. This was the first time I saw Teacher Song about to cry.

In the end, the tears did not fall, and Teacher Song still tried to act like an adult in front of me. But I knew that her heart was already in turmoil.

Today I am feeling depressed again!

Chapter 176 When it rains, it pours

"Well, I promise you~" I nodded solemnly, "I will do my best to help my classmates in the class."

"Well, I'm really an incompetent teacher." Teacher Song was relieved to see that I agreed. "In fact, I also know that it is difficult to ask you to do these things. But I can't let it go. You are my first batch of students, just like my own children..."

"Teacher Song, you've done a great job." I didn't know how to comfort her. "Some things are really frustrating, just do your best."

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you about this. Don't tell other students, lest they panic. Tang Xin won't allow it either, got it?" Teacher Song handed me another piece of chocolate.

"Ah."

After leaving the office, I peeled a chocolate and put it in my mouth. Today's chocolate didn't seem as sweet as usual, and it was a little bitter. I looked down and saw that it was dark chocolate. Why did my aunt suddenly give me dark chocolate? I frowned and had to give up.

Although dark chocolate tastes bitter at first, it has a sweet aftertaste, a bit like coffee. But I can't drink coffee. When I was still Li Xiao, I tried a small cup of espresso given by a colleague, and it almost killed me. Later, I tried their hand-ground coffee, which smelled quite fragrant, but still tasted bitter.

On my way from the office to the classroom, I had to pass the bathroom. I was lost in thought when I suddenly smelled something. This smell was both familiar and strange to me. After thinking for a long time, I suddenly realized that it was cigarettes!
