Evening, basketball court.

Because it was the last day of class in the senior year of high school, there were obviously more people playing ball than usual.

Even though today's middle school students have long matured, even if everyone restrains themselves from being pretentious.

But at this point, I still feel a sense of reluctance.

I want to catch it a little longer, whether it's a few minutes, half an hour, or just a little longer.

The boys pretended to be strong and immersed themselves in it, shouting joking curse words.

The girls were on the sidelines, silently bidding farewell to the boys they had secretly admired.

In the principal's office, after Liu Xiaodong and the old man discussed the future teacher transfer arrangements, they stood in front of the window and looked at the groups of senior high school students who were dragging them away.

"It's another school year..." Liu Xiaodong took a sip of tea and sighed, "There's no graduation ceremony yet, why is this happening?"

"The ceremony is no longer important. They all know that they will not come back to class again." The old man raised his hands and expanded the campus and said, "The school is a link that connects everyone. Without this link, we can still be connected.

How long?"

"Hey, people always have to move forward." Liu Xiaodong said with a smile, "There will be a new environment later, as well as universities and work units."

"Yes, we have to move forward." The old man said, holding on to the window sill. "These changes in the environment are like shuffling the cards again and again, bringing people who are more similar together and letting people who are different leave. From now on,

Most of them will just go further and further away.”

"You're right, Principal Wei, but that's how the whole society works. There are superior skills, and people have divisions of labor." Liu Xiaodong glanced at Li Zheng, who was looking for a venue by the playground, "otherwise, you will be trapped in a village for the rest of your life.

, I have been these people my whole life, what’s the point of it.”

"Yes, you are right." The old man patted Liu Xiaodong, turned around and walked out, "Hey... you said that I am a person who is about to retire, but why do I inexplicably think of the time when I graduated from middle school...

"

Liu Xiaodong hurriedly turned around to see him off.

The old principal will officially retire next year, so it's not hypocritical to feel sentimental once in a while.

Liu Xiaodong followed the words and said: "It's normal, it's normal, I think about it occasionally."

"Xiaodong." The old man patted Liu Xiaodong's arm and said, "Sincerely, the things I will never forget in my life were all before the age of 18. I have almost forgotten everything in the past few decades... But

Things in middle school seem like yesterday, especially those regretful things... You know... When we work, we will make some mistakes and make some wrong choices... But I have forgotten them all now... Only

What happened in middle school...what a regret...even now, I will suddenly hit my head in annoyance."

"I feel the same, I feel the same." Liu Xiaodong nodded seriously and echoed.

"Okay, it's hard work for you to be so cooperative with me." The old man walked out the door and waved his hand, "You go ahead and don't give me away."

"It's okay, it's okay, I did have the same feeling... back then..."

"Okay." The old man turned around and said, "Do me a favor. Call Sun Xiubin over and talk to her about work for an hour."

"Ah? We just finished a meeting in the afternoon."

"Then open it again."

"Hmm...ok...but...why is this?"

"I just want to let the little garden be free for one day."

"……become!"

So, Sun Xiubin was gearing up, and on this critical day, when he was about to go to the small garden to show off his skills, he suddenly received a call from Liu Xiaodong. There was no reason, he just wanted to chat.

…

On the sidelines, Li Zheng and his group were in a daze for a long time while shooting basketballs.

There are too many people and there is no space.

"How about forget it." Xu Mengxi felt dizzy when she saw so many people, "Why don't we come back after we finish the exam?"

"No, no, I've made room to take photos for you." Zhang Xiaoke waved his cell phone and said to Jiang Qinghua, "You organized it. You figured it out. Aren't you a public relations man?"

Jiang Qinghua also scratched his head sadly: "The venue is indeed too full today... There is no space to connect waves."

"Forget it, forget it." Xu Mengxi waved her hands repeatedly, "It's really okay, there is still a chance."

Just as he was talking, suddenly a person from a venue waved his hand and shouted: "Brother Zheng! Here, here, here, there is an open space here!"

Li Zheng frowned and looked.

This man has half-long hair and is somewhat handsome.

"Do I know him?" Li Zheng tugged at Jiang Qinghua.

"Isn't this Ling Shijie..." Jiang Qinghua gestured, "That one from Class Two, a little ruffian."

"Oh, I remembered it."

Just as he was talking, Ling Shijie had already ran over. Seeing this situation, he immediately turned around and pointed at the place and said: "Just in time, it's time for us to leave. Come on."

Liu Xinyi was delighted: "There are so many people, are they all going to leave?"

"That's right, let's all go." Ling Shijie then pulled Liu Xinjiang Qinghua towards that side, "Hurry up, if you wait any longer, someone else will take over."

Li Zheng was also pushed over by Qiao Bixia.

Ling Shijie rushed back to the venue and asked for a treat, and the group of people left immediately.

Before leaving, Ling Shijie nodded meaningfully to Li Zheng.

Liu Xin patted the basketball silly and went up: "Ha! I'm lucky today."

"You're lucky, Master. It's obviously a big deal, okay?" Photographer Zhang Xiaoke stood on the sidelines and gave instructions, "Move, move, I'll take pictures at any time."

After a brief warm-up, a few people entered the field and started shooting random shots. It can be said that they had no passion.

This made Zhang Xiaoke so anxious that he held up his cell phone and cursed: "This is the last time! Don't be so boring, okay? I want to make this into a commemorative book. Qinghua hurry up and cheer me up."

Jiang Qinghua is also suffering a lot. If I had known this, I wouldn't have organized it...

After weighing for a moment, he called a few people together and batted the ball aimlessly, his face showing his unique melancholy.

"Otherwise, let's just do it the first time we played."

"One team for boys and one team for girls, let's play well."

"Use the beginning to end."

Although this proposal was somewhat sad, everyone still agreed.

However, the atmosphere became more and more depressing, and the passion was even less than before.

Zhang Xiaoke couldn't bear it anymore and intervened forcefully: "Do you know how to play? Who would be serious about such a bet?"

"Here you go again!" Li Zheng scolded, "just go and take pictures."

"Then don't gamble, let's punish him. There will be a punishment for the loser." Zhang Xiaoke scratched his chin and thought quickly, "The punishment is to tell the most shameful thing about your high school. If you don't want to tell it, or everyone thinks it's not shameful enough.

, just go run 1,000 meters."

"I think it will work." Liu Xin immediately became excited, "But I know how to play."

Jiang Qinghua also nodded: "If the girl agrees, I don't care."

"Oh, am I afraid?" Qiao Bixia hugged her from left to right, "How about running 1,000 meters? Let's do it."

Lin Yujing and Xu Mengxi were panicked to death.

"Well……"

"this……"

Zhang Xiaoke didn't intend to give them a chance to turn around, so he ran to the sidelines and shouted: "Okay, okay, the shameful battle begins!"

Under Zhang Xiaoke's forcible provocation, the game started abruptly.

After the guessing game, the girls serve the ball.

As expected, the ball quickly passed to Lin Yujing, who organized the attack.

Jiang Qinghua quickly winked at Li Zheng: "Come on, Li Zheng."

"I remember the first time we played, you were targeting Lin Yujing." Li Zheng pushed him, "I'll target Mengxi."

"...Hmm." Jiang Qinghua's expression suddenly became complicated, "I mean Zheng... being a little stubborn can lead to death."

"Hurry up!!!" Liu Xin yelled at Qiao Bixia from the inside, "I don't want to be embarrassed, and I don't want to run around in circles."

Jiang Qinghua had no choice but to go up and mark the target, which was just a symbolic blockade of the forward route, and the defensive distance was deliberately kept far away.

Li Zheng slowly walked to Xu Mengxi's side.

The reason why he is slow is because Xu Mengxi is also slow.

It's like taking a walk for two people.

For a moment, it felt like a lifetime ago.

Scattered and scattered, Lin Yujing scored in the shot.

"Well!"

Pump your fist in celebration.

"Great!" Xu Mengxi shouted from afar.

Liu Xin scolded me directly: "Qinghua, what are you doing here, walking around? Why don't you stare at me from two meters away!"

"Shut up!" Jiang Qinghua suppressed her blush and cursed, "Do you know how much I bear?"

Liu Xin scolded Qiao Bixia: "Ha! Then do you know how many Newtons of thrust I bear?"

"Stop talking and fight hard." Jiang Qinghua said nothing and ran to the center line.

The loser served, and he threw the ball directly to Li Zheng.

Li Zheng caught the ball and instinctively wanted to break through.

But seeing Xu Mengxi just standing there symbolically, he smiled awkwardly.

never mind……

He passed the ball to Jiang Qinghua again.

When Jiang Qinghua took the ball, Lin Yujing immediately pounced on it aggressively.

too difficult……

He had no choice but to throw the ball to Liu Xin inside.

However, Qiao Bixia was not someone to be trifled with. Even if Liu Xin pushed her inward at the risk of his life, it was still difficult to make any progress.

In desperation, he held the ball and raised his head again, preparing to pass it out.

But Jiang Qinghua and Li Zheng both looked helpless, with no movement, and no passing route at all.

"Ah..." Liu Xin was stunned and then understood.

These two guys have no intention of winning!

Liu Xin then thought about it again.

A sudden realization!

Think about it carefully, isn't this truth or dare?

Dare or Dare is bullshit, telling the truth is the most exciting thing.

Those who have been tricked openly express the shameful secrets of the past.

There is a unique refreshing feeling.

"Fuck... two perverts..." Liu Xin scolded, then stopped passing the ball and made a hard jump shot.

Of course the ball didn't go in, and Qiao Bixia grabbed the rebound and passed it to Lin Yujing.

So, the scene just now was repeated again.

Li Zheng and Xu Mengxi seemed to have nothing to do with the game, walking around and flying.

"Sure enough, confrontation, competition, etc. are still not suitable for me." Xu Mengxi smiled as she walked, "Don't give in to us, let's fight hard."

"Inappropriate." Li Zheng said with a silly smile, "If it were Lin Yujing, I would still have the heart to cover her up for a while. Seeing that you really can't do anything..."

A subtle change appeared on Xu Mengxi's face, which was fleeting.

"Then...you go and keep an eye on Jingjing..."

"She's a little scary today. I want to stay away."

"How can there be..."

"Yes, look at her now. She looks at me from time to time, as if she wants to draw a sword..."

"That said...it's really...wait, why do I feel like you are looking at me?"

"Anyway, she sees everyone like this, even Xiao Ke suffered."

The game continues, the rhythm remains the same.

Zhang Xiaoke took photos on the sidelines, and the experience was even more bizarre.

In his shots, Liu Xin and Qiao Bixia were fighting passionately with each other.

Jiang Qinghua was absent-minded, but Lin Yujing was eager to win.

Li Zheng and Xu Mengxi were just ordinary together.

This football match was filmed with three effects, and Zhang Xiaoke was convinced.

Twenty minutes later, the game ended, and the women's team won 10:4.

"Oops - I lost -" Jiang Qinghua walked to the sidelines with a long tone, with some expectation on his face, "I can only say shameful things -"

"Damn it, you are a pervert!" Liu Xin was sweating profusely and yelling, "Why did you drag me on?"

"You can run 1,000 meters."

"Dry!"

"Haha." Jiang Qinghua walked to Zhang Xiaoke's side, "How was the shooting?"

"Well..." Zhang Xiaoke pulled his phone and looked at the material and said seriously, "It's better not to make it public..."

Soon, everyone gathered back to the sidelines.

Jiang Qinghua chose the shameful thing, while Li Zheng and Liu Xin both chose a thousand meters.

"Well...it's too boring..." Lin Yujing lost motivation for a moment.

"Would you like to go to the cat cafe to play for a while?" Qiao Bixia asked.

"Okay!" Lin Yujing turned around and said, "Mengxi?"

"Well... let's relax sometimes." Xu Mengxi also nodded.

"I won't go, I can't afford it." Liu Xin looked at the runway aggrievedly, "Of course... if anyone wants to treat me..."

However, no one paid any attention to him.

"Then I won't cause any more trouble." Jiang Qinghua said with a red face, "Hey, is there a specific category for shameful things?"

"I'm going to change clothes..." Lin Yujing picked up her schoolbag without emotion, turned around and walked towards the teaching building.

"I'll accompany you." Qiao Bixia also picked up her schoolbag, raised her eyebrows and hugged Lin Yujing, then turned around and said.

"How could such a thing happen to me?" Zhang Xiaoke hid his cell phone and chased after him.

"In that case, I'll go too..." Xu Mengxi also went.

"We also went for a run." Li Zheng pushed Liu Xin to start the one-kilometer race.

In an instant, Jiang Qinghua was the only one standing here.

The turbulent wind blew his hair away.

"Does it really...no one wants to hear my shameful things..."

Li Zheng ran so fast that he finished the 1,000 meters in just three minutes. He felt thirsty and picked up the water bottle and trotted to the drinking room.

Coincidentally, Xu Mengxi was also fetching water here with three people's water bottles.

"That's a lot of fights for one person." Li Zheng smiled and walked over.

"If they insist on watching Jingjing change her clothes, I'll help fetch water." Xu Mengxi gave in and said, "You go first."

"It's okay, you fight."

"..."

The two looked at each other speechlessly, neither looking at each other, nor knowing what to say.

Soon, Xu Mengxi finished fetching water and took a step forward while holding three water bottles: "Come on."

"Yeah." Li Zheng stepped forward.

At this time, Qiao Bixia's cry came from outside: "Which pervert stole my kettle!"

"Haha..." Xu Mengxi smiled awkwardly and pointed outside, "Then I...let's go..."

"Yeah." Li Zheng nodded, "You can go directly to the cat cafe, don't wait any longer."

"Well..." Xu Mengxi held the kettle in her arms, turned around and walked out, walking very slowly.

Unexpectedly, the final parting was even more ordinary than the most ordinary thing imagined.

But the kettle in her arms kept getting tighter and tighter, and her steps became slower and slower.

She listened carefully to the sound of running water behind her, afraid that the sound would stop.

She was waiting for an impossible signal.

For that signal, she wanted to drag the last distance of less than one meter to a lifetime.

The sound of fetching water suddenly stopped.

Xu Mengxi also fell into suffocation at this time.

then.

Gudong, Gudong...

After the sound of drinking water, there was the sound of fetching water again.

Xu Mengxi sighed quietly in her heart.

That's it... let's go...

Otherwise, what else can be done?

Just when she took the next step with determination.

when!

Li Zheng's kettle suddenly fell to the ground.

Xu Mengxi's eyes slowly widened.

The sound was like an awl, hitting her long-pressed heart.

Even if it was just a meaningless, small stimulus, it became the straw that broke the camel's back.

As if she had completely lost her mind, Xu Mengxi turned around suddenly, and all the blood in her body rushed to her brain.

"Li Zheng!"

Li Zheng, who was leaning over to pick up the kettle, had never seen Teacher Mengxi like this before.

"I'm very ordinary. No matter how hard I try, I'm only 1% as ordinary as you. No, one thousandth, one ten thousandth as ordinary." Every blood vessel in Xu Mengxi's body tightened. At this moment, she had the courage to fight against the whole world. The courage of the world, "The only thing that's extraordinary is that I like you!"

“I loved it the first time I played.”

"You don't have to say anything."

"I just wanted to tell you selfishly."

"You keep calling me teacher, assuming that I have helped you."

"But actually, you have helped me much more than I have done for you!"

"Finally, can you promise me something too small?"

"The college entrance examination ends on June 9th, and the physics finals begin on June 13th."

"Can you let me help you and take care of you during these three days?"

"I know that we are already far behind in learning, and you don't need help at all."

"Even if it's just cooking, cleaning the house, and folding clothes, that's okay, right?"

"Just think of it as teacher's repayment, okay?"

"After three days, I will never bother you or embarrass you again."
Chapter completed!
