She Can Also Be Gentle

In the third class, Xu Dan, who was sitting next to Chi Nuan, really went to change positions with Zhao Jingjing. In Zhao Jingjing’s words: “She has nerves.” Chi Nuan turned to look at the last row of the three groups, Zhou Damao was lying on the table and sleeping, Xu Dan holding the Tonglian thin, covering her lips and gently talking to Gu Ningzi. After class, Xu Dan switched back to Chi Nuan and returned the Tonglian thin to Chi Nuan: “Okay.” Chi Nuan slid it under the table.

The last lesson in the afternoon was originally for self-study, and the school received a notice from the superior to check it out, and temporarily changed it to general cleaning. Chi Nuan and Gu Ningzi went to get the school uniform first. When they returned to the class, all cleaning tasks were almost assigned. He Liwen said: “Then you two go to the playground and the stands. The place is big and there are so many people to clean faster. ” Sure enough, there were a lot of people in the stands. Zhou Damao and a little fat guy in the class were holding a broomstick in a duel, surrounded by a circle to watch the excitement. Xu Dan stood on a high place in the stands, and when she saw Chi Nuan show up, she immediately waved to her mysteriously: “Come here!” Chi Nuan walked up, Xu Dan pulled her up, and looked towards the back of the stand and said in a low voice. “Have you seen it over there? Cao Pinhui and Xue Wen!” Du Min squatted in the corner reading the e-book, without looking up: “Xu Dan, you ok? Zhao Jingjing has been mad, you still do such gossip.” Xu Dan: “Zhao Jingjing made it clear that she didn’t want to clean up before leaving! Besides, Chi Nuan doesn’t like Cao Pinhui . What’s wrong with my gossip!?”

Chi Nuan was unclear, so the probe saw it, Cao Pinhui with his back facing this direction, Xue Wen stood opposite him, neither of them in school uniforms. Not knowing what Cao Pinhui said, Xue Wen smiled. “We just saw the two of them kissing!” Xu Dan said happily. There are many couples in Yuncheng No.1 Middle School, but most of them choose to keep a low profile—Cao Pinhui is obviously not among the “majority”. He has always been deviant, walking sideways on the site of 1 Middle School, and doing nothing surprising.

Xu Dan: “Guo Dezhi is still haunting this area, and they are not afraid of being caught to the teaching office!” Du Min: “It’s naive. The two below are rich and powerful, and they are also a business you wish. I think Guo Dezhi would pretend not to see it even if he saw it.” Xu Dan: “…” Chi Nuan retracted her gaze, picked up the broomstick that fell on the ground, and cleaned the stands from the beginning. The setting sun gradually sinks to the west, and the twilight gradually rises. Losing the temperature of the sun, the wind blowing across the playground has also become cold. After the music after school, the number of cleaning people in the stands was reduced by more than half. Later, one after another, they almost disappeared.

Chi Nuan went from top to bottom, immersed in cleaning for a long time, sweating out of heat. “Chi Nuan, it’s almost done, let’s go too!” Xu Dan squeezed beside Du Min to read the novel together. Her nose was almost runny by the wind. Seeing that it was getting late, she yelled at Chi Nuan. Chi Nuan raised her flushed face, and the two girls who were sleeping together shrank in the corner. Gu Ningzi stood at the highest point of the stand, leaning on the railing, with earphones in her ears. The wind blew her white clothes and her hair was a little messy. She couldn’t see her face clearly, and only saw the boundless sky behind her, with a cold grayish white. Chi Nuan sighed. There were only four of them left in the grandstand. “It’s almost done. Come down.” Chi Nuan poured the cleaned up garbage into the garbage bag, fastened the bag, and picked up the broomstick left by the classmates: “Let’s go.” Xu Dan and Du Min picked it up consciously. Picking up the garbage bag, another person took a broom, and Chi Nuan talked and laughed and left the playground. Gu Ningzi stuck in her pocket and followed them indiscreetly. The next morning, at the last class, He Liwen finished the class, pushed her glasses, and asked, “Where is Gu Ningzi? Gu Ningzi didn’t come?” Chi Nuan turned around, and Gu Ningzi’s position was empty all morning. Zhou Damao spread her hands innocently, saying that she didn’t know.

He Liwen was going back to take care of the children at noon. She hurriedly packed her textbooks and said to Chi Nuan : “Monitor.” Xu Dan immediately took out her mobile phone. When she asked Gu Ningzi to fill out the communication book yesterday, she had already stored her number in it. In the phone however, after making two consecutive calls, Gu Ningzi did not answer. Chi Nuan entered Gu Ningzi’s number into the contact book and dialed tentatively.

“Did she pick it up?” Xu Dan asked. Chi Nuan shook her head. After tens of seconds of waiting, the dialing would be automatically interrupted, and Chi Nuan removed the phone. At this time, the screen lights up and the call timer starts. One second, two seconds.

“…Gu Ningzi? This is Chi Nuan.”

Gu Ningzi: “Yes.”

Chi Nuan asked: “Why didn’t you come to school today?”

Gu Ningzi’s voice flows through the electric current, and flows into Chi Nuan’s ears. She said: “I have a fever…”

Chi Nuan pursed her lips unconsciously: “Are you okay?”

Gu Ningzi: “It’s okay.”

Although it is already spring, the weather is really not warm. Gu Ningzi only wore a thin coat yesterday and the cold wind was blowing in the stands for a long time. It was probably because of this that she had a fever, right?

Chi Nuan said, “If you feel uncomfortable in the future, you should ask the teacher for leave in advance, or you can tell me, I will ask for leave for you.” Gu Ningzi: “Yeah.” Chi Nuan said, “Then you rest. Excuse me.” Chi Nuan hung up, and Xu Dan asked: “She is sick?” Chi Nuan: “Has a fever.” Xu Dan covered her heart: “Ah, sick beauty, distressed.” Chi Nuan: “…” Next week, Gu Ningzi never came to school.

Chi Nuan drew the prototype of the bulletin on the draft paper. Xu Dan, Zhao Jingjing and the others helped to make some changes, and then they finalized the draft. Chi Nuan was able to write and draw, and gave it to the blackboard newspaper during the break time. On the day Gu Ningzi came back to class, the board report was over. The patterns under the frame are all drawn, and most of the text content has been copied. Chi Nuan was not ready to stretch the front line anymore, vowing to complete the board today anyway.

After school, the classmates left one after another, Chi Nuan squeaked writing on the blackboard with a chalk. Time passed by, and when the last full stop was drawn, Chi Nuan’s brows finally stretched. She put aside the chalk, patted the chalk dust on her hand, and turned back to her seat to pack her schoolbag. Gu Ningzi had not left yet, lying on the desk and fell asleep. Chi Nuan thought that she had just had a fever not long ago, and called her: “Gu Ningzi.” Gu Ningzi did not respond. After a while, Chi Nuan stretched out her hand and patted Gu Ningzi’s back gently: “Gu Ningzi? Wake up.” Gu Ningzi slowly raised her head from her arm, half-opening her eyes, her misty eyes were out of focus. “School is over, don’t sleep here, you will catch a cold.” Chi Nuan walked back to her desk and put all the homework to be written in her schoolbag. In order to reduce the burden on the school, the second year of high school does not compulsory self-study late, she usually goes back to the dormitory to do homework. Gu Ningzi coughed, Chi Nuan glanced over, and Gu Ningzi touched the belly of the table and pulled out the schoolbag.

Two people walked out of the classroom one after the other, Chi Nuan returned to the dormitory, Gu Ningzi left school, and the two went right and the other straight at the school gate. Chi Nuan said, “See you tomorrow,” Gu Ningzi nodded, and just left. Separate.

The next day, Chi Nuan received her Chinese homework and walked to Zhou Damao. Zhou Damo looked around the table and turned out the workbook with a wrinkled cover. She asked Chi Nuan, “What was the homework yesterday?” Chi Nuan was already surprised. Weird: “Pages 20-21.” Zhou Damao: “Give me a copy.” As she said, she held the arms of Chi Nuan: “I still look down on others, monitor, where is yours?” Chi Nuan pulled out her homework: “Hurry up, I’ll hand it in after the next class.

——Gu Ningzi, where’s yours?” Gu Ningzi turned the workbook to page 20, Chi Nuan one Look, the brand-new exercise book hasn’t written a word. … Later, He Liwen came to class and scolded her sternly: “Please use individual students in the class to use their brains a little when copying other people’s homework. Don’t copy even the typos!” Zhou Damao opened her workbook. , He Liwen circled two typos with a red pen, and hit a big exclamation mark at the back. Zhou Damao tilted her head to look at Gu Ningzi’s again: “…No, I said new classmate, let’s copy together, so you can’t be a bit loyal?” Gu Ningzi shrugged.

At the same moment, gossip king Xu Dan bumped Chi Nuan’s elbow: “The latest news, Cao Pinhui and Xue Wen are divided! Just ask if you are convinced?” Chi Nuan was quite convinced.

In the physical education class, everyone is still talking about it, guessing who the two are dumping. The new physical education teacher arranged for the whole class to play basketball freely. The girls didn’t care about it. After a few perfunctions, they gathered together to chat about gossip, from the breakup of Cao Pinhui and Xue Wen on campus, to entertainment. Various grievances and feuds between the actress Yao En and the top traffic Lin Shen for the position of the heroine of the movie. Chi Nuan acted as a loyal listener, and the boys in the class suddenly started whistling collectively. Chi Nuan turned her head, and the sun squinted her eyes. On the three-point line, the one with red and black sneakers jumped up, while the body was leaning back, the wrist was turned, the basketball was released, and with a beautiful arc, it accurately hit the goal frame. The shoes fall to the ground lightly. Zhou Damao yelled: “Fuck! Fuck! New classmates, you are really showing up!” … Class is over, and the six classes line up. “The sports committee arranged for the classmates to return the equipment and class is over.” There was a chuckle from the line: “Teacher, the sports committee member did not come today.”

If you didn’t come, the squad leader will arrange it and disband!” Chi Nuan and Xu Dan and the others Picked up all the basketballs in the goal basket, changed hands and raised them to the equipment room. After coming out of the equipment room, the four of them walked along to discuss what to eat at night. When they passed the flower bed in the school, they suddenly heard a voice from the woods behind the flower bed: “Let go!” Chi Nuan went ahead. The remaining three people looked at each other. Why did this voice sound a bit like… Gu Ningzi? Although it is a small forest, the trees in the forest are at least one hundred years old, and the trees are extraordinarily sturdy. People are blocked inside, and they can’t see anything for a while.

“Ahui is talking to you, that’s because you look good, so don’t show off.” The tone of the hippie smile made people frown when they heard it. Another voice: “I saw you in the stands last week. What a coincidence, I saw you again today. Did you say that you are destined or not?” Zhao Jingjing took a deep breath, it was Cao Pinhui! What’s happening here? Cao Pinhui, who just broke up with Xue Wen, fell in love with Gu Ningzi, a newcomer to their class? ? Does it sound like love at first sight? Xu Dan wondered about the stand last week, wasn’t it the time of the cleanup? She and Du Min were chasing the novel with runny noses, and Gu Ningzi was already fascinated by Cao Pinhui…The gap between people was too big, and Xu Dan was a little envious. But Gu Ningzi was very disgusted with this kind of chatting, and she was extremely impatient even with her tone of voice: “I said, let go!”

“Ah, Ahui, the classmate is quite arrogant.” Cao Pinhui kicked Zhou Yue. He motioned him not to talk too much, and turned to Gu Ningzi: “The physical education class just ended? Are you in the sophomore year?”

… Chi Nuan appeared behind the tree, and saw Cao Pinhui grasping Gu Ningzi’s wrist and refused to let it go. Same, she sighed: “So you are here!” She ran up and took Gu Ningzi’s other hand: “Quickly follow me, the teacher has been looking for you for a long time!” Not far away, Xu Dan and the others Looked in this direction seemingly. Cao Pinhui glanced at Chi Nuan, with a smirk on his face. Chi Nuan pulled Gu Ningzi around and left, almost running fast.

Just playing basketball, Gu Ningzi’s palm was very warm, and Chi Nuan held her tightly.

    After walking like this for a while, Gu Ningzi looked at the hands between the two and asked her doubts: “Why are your hands shaking?”

  Chi Nuan : “…I’m scared.” Behind them, Zhao Jingjing hugged. The arms kept rubbing: “This is too embarrassing. From now on, I announce that I am single again.”

    “…”

The five people hurried back to the classroom, and the last self-study class had begun.

    Without the teacher’s self-study class, the classroom is noisy like a vegetable market.

    Chi Nuan’s heart was still throbbing, and after sitting for a while, she still couldn’t relieve herself, so she took a cup of water and took a seat to pick up some hot water for herself, sipped it in her hand, and calmed her emotions.

    From the moment she left her seat to catch the water, to return to her position, Gu Ningzi kept looking in her eyes, as if she was about to laugh, and finally made a fist to her lips and coughed lightly.
