The Wind Blows Fallen Leaves Chapter 45

exercise book

“Ling ring ring~”

The ringing of bells did not gradually disappear until the end of December. The last final exam was like sharpening a weapon in front of a battle. In addition to eating, the classroom was full, and even the teacher was hungry for several meals.

Fei Zhu was notified that next year’s competition might be postponed to April. The first time he received the news was to tell the monitor.

“You tell them not to mess up and treat it as a transparent exam. The teacher believes them.”

After a college entrance examination, it was not just the students who were tired. Every teacher had a few gray hairs on his head. Li Ruoqin also became gentle, talking and writing over and over again. Each teacher had a big bag tied around his waist to listen to the pressure and tension of the students.

Liang Qian was still as good as before, with a surprisingly good attitude. Lu Ze helped him improve his English. Although the effect was not obvious, neither of them gave up.

“I haven’t seen Zhang Jiasheng in the past few days, where has that kid been so cool?”

As an English class representative, Ding Lei wants to help every student in need as much as possible. Zhang Jiasheng is his key target, but he always fails to catch others.

As soon as the school bell rang, Zhang Jiasheng came back in a daze. As soon as the end bell rang, Zhang Jiasheng was the first to fly out of the classroom. It was difficult for people around him to say a word to him.

“Are we still going to the study room today?”

Zhang Jiasheng looked at Jiang Wangshu expectantly, jumping around like a rabbit and circling around her.

“Not going.”

After getting a negative answer, Zhang Jiasheng stopped visibly. This was the first time that he was so eager to study and wished he could spend the whole day in the study room.

“Let’s go to the bookstore behind the school. I’m going to buy an exercise book.”

When I heard that I could continue to be with her, my eyes came alive.

“Let’s go, let’s go.”

There are many bookstores around the school, one after another, and some sell used books. You can find many out-of-print books in them. It is also the only store that Zhang Jiasheng has entered in the past few years. The books inside are piled everywhere, and there is no place to step down. There is only a path for one person to pass on the stairs on the second floor. When the two meet, one person always has to retreat.

“Do you know this bookstore?”

Jiang Wangshu nodded and said, “I’ve been here before. There are many kinds of books there, but it’s such a waste of time. We’re going to the one opposite.”

Zhang Jiasheng followed her hand and looked over. The decoration of that store was very new and trendy. It was the most popular style among students at the moment. It had just opened, and its name was “Xinshu”. Before they even entered, there was a long and distant sound of music that reached their ears across the road.

There are exercise books for all grades in it, and it is also equipped with an independent study room. You can completely isolate it from the outside by closing the door. The second floor is surrounded by various novels, as long as they are on the market.

When the two were about to separate, Jiang Wangshu stumbled and said, “Take this back and do it properly. It should be helpful to you.”

She threw the book into his arms and turned around and ran away. The fragrance of magnolia flowers that surrounded him disappeared after she left. When he turned the corner, he realized that she had spent the whole afternoon here choosing exercise books for him, and he was so happy that he forgot about everything.

On the way back to school, he would shake his head and hum, even when he saw wild flowers on the roadside, he would stop, pick one and put it behind his ear. The red lights at the intersection seemed to be crowning him.

Throughout the evening self-study, he stared at the exercise book in a daze, reluctant to write. After mentally preparing himself, he began to do the questions. Starting from the first page, he ran through countless problems and got stuck on a big question. The answer was different after he calculated it three times, so he had to ask others for help.

Only Liang Qian was idle in the whole classroom. He was memorizing English words. Zhang Jiasheng patted him on the shoulder. Liang Qian thought someone was joking with him and said casually, “Don’t make trouble, I’m busy.”

Zhang Jiasheng took off the hand that blocked his ears and raised his voice, “Whoever made trouble with you, I’m busy too.”

The exercise book was laid out in front of him. Each question was written neatly and fully. There was only one word under that question. Liang Qian raised his eyebrows and smiled: “You rare guest, why have you been here these past few days? The dragon has always seen its beginning but not its end.”

“Don’t make trouble, let’s look at the question.” Zhang Jiasheng’s blood now smells of knowledge, and he has no time to talk nonsense with him, so he said: “I am a good student.”

Liang Qian looked at him with disgust, curled his lips and said, “Good student, let’s take a look at this question…”

As he was about to write next to the title, Zhang Jiasheng put his hand over it, and the tip of the pen touched the back of his hand, and the black ink spread along the lines on the back of his hand.

“What are you doing?”

Zhang Jiasheng took out a piece of scratch paper from his pocket and motioned for him to calculate on it. Liang Qian picked up the scratch paper, threw it aside, and said, “Can’t you just get a new one?”

Zhang Jiacheng picked it up, dusted it off, slapped it in front of him, and said with firm eyes: “Strong people never complain about the environment.”

The two of them became inexplicably passionate, and Liang Qian said, “You’re right.”

Then he wrote a few formulas on the draft paper that was already full of words, and said, “This is the formula you just used, right?”

Zhang Jiasheng nodded blankly.

He saw Liang Qian draw a big cross on it, “They are all wrong. The conditions given in this question are to guide you to use this formula to calculate. The more nervous you are in the examination room, the slower you will be in doing the questions. Then you will not have time to calculate for the second time, and then you will miss the university.”

“You don’t want me to ask others.”

Zhang Jia Sheng picked up the book and was about to stand up. Liang Qian quickly held him down and told him seriously, “I am teaching you how to avoid this risk in the future. You just need to change this formula.”

Zhang Jiasheng looked left and right, up and down. The formulas were written on the messy text and could not be seen clearly at all.

“Can’t you get a piece of scratch paper?”

Liang Qian smiled evilly, stretched out his index finger and shook it, then pointed at his temples, and said confidently: “My draft paper is here. It’s something that no one can use.”

“It’s silly to learn English.”

Liang Qian felt uncomfortable when talking about English. He covered his heart like a sick man: “English is really difficult. I would rather do 500 math problems than read an English passage.”

Ten minutes had passed. Liang Qian was afraid that he would delay his great achievements, so he casually took a piece of paper from Lu Ze, wrote down the formula for him and sent him away.

After seeing the formula, Zhang Jiasheng suddenly realized that the calculation was correct several times, and the bell rang just after he got the answer.

“If you run fast, you might be able to catch up with her and leave.”

Zhang Jiasheng ran to the teaching building dripping with sweat. There were students all wearing the same clothes. Fortunately, he was tall, so he immediately saw Jiang Wangshu who turned around the corner. Her hair was tied high into a ponytail, and a few strands of hair were tucked behind her ears.

“Jiang Wangshu, here.”

Zhang Jiasheng waved his arms, trying to attract her attention. The first person to notice him was Zhang Li. I don’t know what she said when she lowered her head. Jiang Wangshu raised her head and looked at him.

The headlight in front of the teaching building shone on the two of them. Zhang Jiasheng went against the crowd to stand in front of her, while Jiang Wangshu stood there not knowing where to go.

The number of people gradually decreased, and the space left for the two of them gradually increased. Zhang Jiasheng held the exercise book and shook it as if taking credit, “It’s very useful to me, thank you.”

“Friends should help each other.”

Zhang Jiasheng looked at the moon in the sky, and the ground under his feet seemed a little thicker.

Jiang Wangshu noticed that the back of his hand was dark and handed him a wet wipe. Only then did Zhang Jiasheng remember that he had accidentally infected it just now. He stretched out his dirty hand. Jiang Wangshu looked at him in confusion. He raised his other hand to take something and couldn’t find free time.

“My hands are sore.”

Jiang Wangshu took advantage of the light to hold his hand and quickly wiped it clean. The headlight in front of the building dimmed untimely, telling them that it was already very late and the boy was sending the girl back.

Two pairs of white sneakers rubbed against the gravel, neither hurriedly nor slowly, neither near nor far. The shadows behind them were like yo-yos, constantly being thrown forward and backward by the street lights, one after another, probably because they were tired, and finally stopped in front of a dark alley.

“Go back, I’ll be there as soon as I walk in.” Jiang Wangshu’s face turned red and his voice trembled.

“It’s so dark here, let me take you in.” Zhang Jiasheng looked at the bottomless alley, a little worried that she would be hurt.

“No, I’ve walked there many times and will be careful. It’s too late today, so go back quickly.”

After saying that, Jiang Wangshu disappeared in the alley, and the next second a message came on his phone.

“Tell me when you get home.”

Jiang Wangshu did not reply to him immediately, but sat in front of the window. The wall opposite was full of cracks, and the wires across the window made a terrible sound every time the cold wind howled late at night.

Jiang Wangshu wanted to say a lot, but when he typed it, his taste changed, and in the end only “I’m home” was left.

As soon as the phone rang, Zhang Jiasheng couldn’t wait to pick it up and look at it. He squatted at the entrance of the alley, always paying attention to what was going on inside. It wasn’t until her words came out that he left with peace of mind.
