[R18] So and so – “Someone” 26. Get ahead [English]
byThe bell rang, and the invigilator began to collect the papers one by one. When he received Sheng Wang, he paused for a few seconds, probably because he wanted to see what happened to the latecomer.
“You might as well choose all C’s. At least you can guarantee that you will get a few questions right. If you write blindly like this and get no points, you will cry to death.” The invigilator took away the paper and couldn’t help but say something.
“Teacher, do you teach English?” Sheng Wang is face-blind and doesn’t know any of the teachers in his class.
“No, I teach geography.” said the invigilator.
“Then have you seen the standard answers to this paper?”
“No.”
Sheng Wang said “Oh” and said, “That’s good.”
Invigilator: “…”
The student at the front desk burst out laughing, then grimaced under the pressure.
The invigilator glared at Sheng Wang angrily and said, “No matter what your reasons are, don’t be late for the next exam. Take responsibility for your efforts and don’t let a minor illness go to waste.”
“No, thank you, teacher.” Sheng Wang said.
The papers in the examination room were quickly collected, and the voices in the corridor poured out like water from a floodgate.Gao Tianyang made great progress in the weekly examination. About fifty people moved from the examination room of Class 3 to the end of Class 1. He was only separated from Shengwang by a wall and next to the stairs.
He rushed out of the classroom early and waited at the stairs. As a result, Jiang Tian even waited, but there was still no sign of Sheng Wang.
“Where are the people?” Jiang Tian walked down the steps and looked towards Class 2.
Gao Tianyang spread his hands and said, “I don’t know. Our class is so slow to collect papers. The door hasn’t been opened yet.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of Class 2 classroom was pushed open, and the invigilator walked away with the prepared test papers. A large wave of students followed him and poured out, buzzing with conversations and discussions, like a goose that exploded its nest.
“I can’t stand my English listening skills. I got 20 points.”
“That’s awesome.”
“Did he get close to full marks in his last weekly English test?”
“It seems so. Is it 117 or 118?”
“Then it’s over this time, it will drop by 20 points.”
“Not necessarily. What if I get a few wrong?”
“Didn’t you hear the invigilator complaining, saying that he might as well fill in all C’s? I guess it was written by some AABCD like this. People may have never faced English questions before and lack experience.”
“Stop beeping. Even if he dropped 20 points, his English would be better than mine. I’m going to be autistic.”
…
Gao Tianyang hissed, kissed Jiang Tian and said, “Hey, the more I hear, the more something is wrong.”
The group of people were chatting animatedly as they headed toward the stairs. Among them, there was someone Jiang Tian happened to know.he patted the opponent on the shoulder and asked: “Who dropped 20 points?”
“Oh, I’ll scare you.” The man touched his heart and said, “Jiang Shen, why are you here, Brother Yang!”
he said hello to Gao Tianyang again.
“We are waiting for our meal friends.” Gao Tianyang asked, “Who were you talking about just now?”
“The one in your class who got over 100 places in the weekly exam.” The man pointed back at the classroom with his thumb and said, “This guy was late for the English test and missed all his listening skills.”
“Late?” Gao Tianyang exclaimed in surprise, “How is that possible! Brother Tim, were you late this morning?”
“No.” Jiang Tian said, “We’ll be there at 7 o’clock.”
The boy was confused.He can’t quite understand why Sheng Wang is late, but Gao Tianyang wants to confirm with Jiang Tian.Other classmates urged him, and the boy hurriedly said hello and left first with a few friends.
Gao Tianyang looked in disbelief: “This is English. Brother Sheng has the greatest advantage in this subject. How could he be so rash and late?”
Jiang Tian looked over he at Class 2.Most of the students have left, and the classroom is empty and unobstructed. From this angle, you can see half of Sheng Wang’s face. He is stuffing his school uniform jacket into his school bag. His eyebrows are downcast and his emotions are not visible.
Jiang Tian pressed Gao Tianyang’s shoulder and pushed him towards Class 2.
“What?” Gao Tianyang took two steps.
“Go and ask.” Jiang Tian said.
“…”
Do you have double-sided tape on your mouth?Gao Tianyang wanted to ask this young boy.But he didn’t dare in the end and entered the classroom honestly.
“Brother Sheng!” Gao Tianyang was a loudspeaker and didn’t know how to lower his voice.He yelled like this, and all the left-behind boys in the classroom who were eating dry food raised their heads.
Sheng Wang was trying to tuck the dirty side of his school uniform into it to avoid getting it on his schoolbag.Seeing Gao Tianyang and Jiang Tian come in one after another, they stopped fussing, finished the work in one go, and zipped up.
he was about to say “Let’s go and eat” when Gao Tianyang said in the tone of a great eunuch: “Brother Tian asked me to ask you, did something happen to you this morning?”
Jiang Tian walked into the classroom a few steps behind he and was walking towards here through several tables and chairs.Upon hearing this, he immediately stopped and stared at the back of Gao Tianyang’s head.
If his gaze had any substance, Gao Tianyang would already be lying dead.
Sheng Wang looked towards he.
“Just listen to what he said.” Jiang Tian denied it unceremoniously.
After a few more seconds, he lowered his head and pinched the tip of his nose, giving up on himself: “Forget it.”
This kind of reaction was a bit funny on He. Sheng Wang couldn’t hold back and laughed, and the anger that had been building up all morning disappeared instantly.
“Let’s go, let’s go.” He threw his schoolbag over his shoulder and pushed them toward the door: “I’m going to starve to death. Let’s wait until we get out. I don’t want to hold a press conference.”
He We arrived late, and most of the students in the cafeteria were already sitting and eating. At a glance, there were scattered empty seats among the crowds of people, and there were almost no empty seats for four people.
While they were watching, someone waved to them and said, “Lao Gao – over here!”
The one waving was Song Sirui, and beside him were Qi Jiahao and Xu Xiaozui.The five of us occupied a long table for eight people, and there happened to be three empty seats.
Gao Tianyang used his experience to pick a window with the fastest food delivery and queued up, and he got the food in a short time.
Sheng Wang sat down on the empty seat and heard Song Sirui ask: “Brother Sheng, I heard that you didn’t listen to your hearing this morning? What’s going on?”
Gao Tianyang said “Hi”, opened the ice Coke he had just taken, took a few sips and said, “We were asking him. So what’s going on?”
“I was tricked.” Sheng Wang complained that he was hungry all the way, but he was not in a hurry to eat when he got the food. Instead, he picked out the shredded carrots one by one.
“What do you mean?” Gao Tianyang stopped chewing the ribs and stared at him waiting for him to speak.
“Someone told me that Sister Jing asked me to get competition practice papers, so I went there.” Sheng Wang put the carrots in the corner of the iron plate and started picking green pepper slices. “But when I got to the Xiushen Garden, I was buried.”
“Fuck? Who buried it?”
“I don’t know him. He’s from outside the school. He’s probably some idle gangster on the street.”
“A fight?” Xu Xiaozui asked,
“Otherwise, why don’t you come to me to pay New Year’s greetings?” Sheng Wang said, “Anyway, I’ve been delayed by them for a long time, and my hearing will be useless if I enter the classroom again.”
Qi Jiahao asked: “How did you come back? Did you beat them up?”
“No.” Sheng Wang pointed at the gap on the side of his face and started to cry miserably, “I can’t beat him. Look, it’s a failure. The school uniform got a lot of mud on it and I put it in my bag. I can only come back because I can run fast.”
“Stop it!” Song Sirui said, “You are saying that you are powerless again. Go and ask Zhai Tao last time if he agreed.”
Sheng Wang said: “If he doesn’t agree, I won’t be able to restrain the chicken. It all depends on the schoolbag. You see, it won’t work if I don’t bring my schoolbag this morning.”
“Speaking of that idiot Zhai Tao -” Gao Tianyang thought for a while and said, “Have the gangsters from other schools ever made enemies with you? No, then why did they rush to school to pick on you? It doesn’t make sense, right? So it must be Zhai Tao’s grandson who did it.”
Others also thought it was very likely, but Xu Xiaozui interjected: “I’ll go see my dad later to see if I can patch up your hearing.”
“Will your dad agree?” Qi Jiahao said a little uneasily, “I feel a bit uncertain, how about we all go?”
“No, my dad is the most annoying tactic. I’ll ask, just in case.” Xu Xiaozui said.
Sheng Wang was stunned.
On weekdays, when Xiaozui meets his dad, it’s like a mouse meets a cat. Asking him to talk to his dad about something is like killing him, but he didn’t expect that he actually took the initiative to help today.
“Thank you.” Sheng Wang jokingly hugged he and said, “But don’t go to your dad. If you come to him, he will definitely ask what happened, otherwise it will lead to a fight. I’m still in the sensitive stage, so it’s better to be honest. Secondly, there is no surveillance in the Xiushen Garden. How can I prove that those two buried me?”
“That’s right, Magpie Bridge. If there was surveillance at Magpie Bridge, the young lovers would have flown away long ago.”
Xu Xiaozui hesitated for a moment, and finally compromised and said, “Okay, then I won’t tell my dad first, and we’ll make a decision after seeing the situation.”
Everyone was a little frustrated.
They quickly fell into fierce greetings to Zhai Tao, and Sheng Wang listened happily.He was pushing away the last lump of minced garlic when he suddenly heard Jiang Tian, who was directly opposite him, asking: “What does the gangster look like?”
He’s voice was not loud, and Gao Tianyang, who was so excited, none of them paid attention, and only Sheng Wang could hear it.
“One has a short hair and one has short yellow hair.” Sheng Wang tried hard to recall for a while, but could only remember these two features. “I am face-blind, and I can’t remember my appearance when I turn around.”
After hearing this, Jiang Tian thought for a while and said, “Okay.”
Sheng Wang paused in picking vegetables and looked at him suspiciously: “What do you want to do?”
Jiang Tian raised his eyes and asked, “What are you doing?”
Sheng Wang wanted to say, “You’re not going to make amends for me, are you?” But saying this would easily sound pretentious. He, a person with such a good face, certainly can’t embarrass himself.
Moreover, rationally speaking, can one short position and one yellow hair be considered information?There are so many people with short hair and yellow hair in the world, how can you find the right person with these two things, and Jiang Tian didn’t mean to ask more, it was probably just a casual mention.
“Nothing, just eat.” Sheng Wang said.
After everyone else had finished eating most of the food, he moved the first chopsticks in a condescending manner. From this, it can be seen that Boss Xi Le Zhao showed mercy.
Sheng Wang originally thought that the food in the cafeteria was pretty good, but after eating Old Man Ding’s food, he found it hard to swallow a little food in front of the big iron plate.
The garlic taste in the water spinach was too strong, the knife used to slice the watermelon must have cut green onions before, and the beef was too old to chew the tendons.The eldest young master’s meal was a huge undertaking, and he only had a few bites in his stomach.
They collected the dinner plates and returned to Mingli Building. As they walked through the fountain square, Jiang Tian pointed in the direction of the playground and said, “I’m going to Xile.”
Sheng Wang immediately raised his eyes and stared at he. Gao Tianyang asked, “Why are you going to Xile at this time?”
“Buy a bottle of ice water.” Jiang Tian shook his phone and said, “Get something by the way.”
Sheng Wang remembered the WeChat messages Boss Zhao had sent to Jiang Tian, and indeed he often asked him to get watermelon or something else.But Sheng Wang never saw he take it back, so he probably took it into Old Man Ding’s door.
There were two exams in physics and chemistry in the afternoon. It was difficult for Jiang Tian to lose points, so he naturally didn’t hold back.So everyone waved hello to he and went upstairs to the examination room.
Noon is the emptiest time in the school, and not a single soul can be seen on Route 3.Jiang Tian walked across the Self-cultivation Garden, glanced left and right a few times along the way, then walked around the playground and entered the gate of Xile Convenience Store.
The doorbell rang. Boss Zhao took off his reading glasses and raised his head from behind the counter: “Aren’t you taking an exam? Why are you here at noon?”
“Buy water.”
Jiang Tian went straight to the refrigerator and took a bottle of ice water.When I was checking out at the counter, I grabbed a box of band-aids from the convenience shelf next to me.
“Uncle Zhao, are the cameras in the store still in use?” he asked.
“Use it, of course it does. Who can bear it if you are always being robbed by thieves when doing small business?” Boss Zhao said.
“Where are the two outside the door?” Jiang Tian pointed towards the door with a mineral water bottle, “The ones facing the Self-cultivation Garden and the ones facing the wall.”
“Use it! Thieves like to break in through that area.”
Jiang Tian said: “Can you call up the surveillance between 6 and 8 o’clock this morning and take a look?”
“Ah? What for?”
“Find someone.”
The afternoon exam started at 2 o’clock, and it was just after 12 o’clock when Sheng Wang arrived in the classroom.He spent half an hour going through his physics notes. When he saw that it was still early, he lay down on the table and prepared to catch up on his sleep.
Most of the sleep in the classroom is light sleep, and the slightest movement can wake up.
Sheng Wang felt that he had only taken a nap when he heard the soft sound of the window being pushed and pulled next to his ears.He scratched his hair, raised his head from his arms with squinted eyes, and saw Jiang Tian standing outside the window, his blue and white school uniform rolled up to his elbows, the midday sun shining like fire on his back, making it dazzling.
Sheng Wang subconsciously turned his head and glanced at the wall clock. It was still more than half an hour before 2 o’clock. Many people in the classroom fell asleep, and those who were not asleep were also looking at notes.
The whole Mingli Building is very quiet, the kind of quiet that belongs to the campus lunch break.
“Huh?” Before he could escape from his sleepiness, he asked a lazy question in his hoarse voice.
Jiang Tian stretched out his slender fingers and placed a box of band-aids on the windowsill.
“I brought it with me.” After he finished speaking, he carried the ice water through the corridor and disappeared around the corner of the stairs.
That night, Sheng Wang heard a gossip from Song Sirui and Gao Tianyang, saying that Zhao Xi’s barbecue restaurant grabbed two gangsters who were looking for trouble. They were held down by several people and beaten, and then they were twisted and sent to the police station with bruised faces.
The gossip also said that the two gangsters broke into the attached middle school this morning and were captured by the camera of Xile Convenience Store.
