Chapter 8, Encountering an Acquaintance at the New School

After the doctor's daughter mentioned her school, the chubby one expressed that she had never heard of it and did not know about it. However, I do know that the school indeed has a lot of wealthy students. Of course, since she was able to transfer there, I suspect she is not a good student and must have caused some trouble.

As for that doctor's daughter, she also did not come over to speak with me. I thought to myself that the girl has her pride; even when she took the initiative to greet me, I did not respond to her. It seems she probably does not want to engage with me anymore.

When Liu Hui brought me in, a security guard with a thunderous voice stopped us and asked which class we were from. While questioning, the guard kept scrutinizing me, his gaze carrying a hint of provocation

My deskmate's name is Wang Jing, and her appearance is quite ordinary, just like her name. I saw it on the cover of her book. Her books are mostly wrapped in book covers, which are homemade, made from old posters and newspapers. On the desk, there is an eraser that has been worn down to a size smaller than my pinky finger. It is evident that she is someone who cherishes her study tools

Of course, it was later proven that this idea of mine was a significant mistake

Liu Hui said it was a new student, and after going in to find the principal, he finally allowed the two of us to enter. The principal is a man in his forties, somewhat overweight, and can be considered Liu Hui's cousin.

After class, I did not go to the cafeteria for a meal, as I am not familiar with the area and do not know where the cafeteria is. Furthermore, I feel that carrying a food container and chopsticks to the cafeteria is akin to what migrant workers do. Therefore, I bought some bread from a small shop across from the dormitory.

Gao Village is actually quite far from the city center, yet not too far either; it takes about an hour by car. It is also close to the mountainous area, and I have heard that it is quite impoverished

He probably is just bored, playing a game of "shooting planes" at https://www.hetushu.com, and don't get the wrong idea, it's not that kind of game, it's the kind of plane shooting game drawn on paper. I used to play this game moderately well.

The principal was quite polite to me at that time. After asking me a few questions, he introduced me to my homeroom teacher, who was a woman wearing glasses. To be honest, she was somewhat unattractive, which left me a bit disappointed

That male classmate consistently helped me carry the stool to the school gate, and only after securing it to my bicycle did he leave. Upon returning home, Liu Hui asked me to take a shower, and in the afternoon, we went to that school, which is a fully enclosed institution that only grants a break once every half month.

Having conveyed most of what needed to be said, Liu Hui took her leave. Before departing, she advised me not to focus too much on studying, but rather to behave honestly and avoid causing trouble. Of course, she whispered this to me privately, ensuring that the homeroom teacher would not overhear.

The classrooms of the school are also old-style bungalows, lined up next to each other. I thought to myself, this school is truly not just ordinary in its dilapidation

The woman might have thought that I had taken her place, so she shot me a glance and then said in an annoyed tone: "Just look at him, he doesn't seem like a good student. He should sit at the back, yet he sits at the front."

At that moment, Rouhu asked her, "Which school did you attend before?"

I was about to tell Li Jing that it was fine for me to sit in the back when that girl seemed a bit displeased. She said: "Why should he sit here with me?"

Once a space was cleared, Li Jing instructed the two male classmates behind her to move the last empty desk to me and set it up there

He said no, it's in the suburbs, it's just too expensive, the overnight charge is 20 yuan

Perhaps I still harbor some resentment in my heart towards Tu and Mo Jingjie. Since she is a sister of Mo Jingjie, I naturally do not wish to engage with her. I merely glanced at her and pretended not to recognize her.

My bed was the closest to the door; basically, when the door was opened, my bed was just two meters away, and it was a lower bunk. This spot was likely to get dirty, and no one wanted to sleep there. Later, a chubby-faced man came over and sat on my bed, asking why I wasn't going to the cafeteria for a meal, saying that this bread wasn't filling.

Once the commotion had settled down, Li Jing advised me to come to her dormitory if I needed anything. At that time, most of the teachers also lived on campus, in a faculty area located in the northwest corner of the school. In contrast, there were no independent offices in the teaching area, and the conditions were indeed quite challenging

At that time, I was particularly concerned about my image, perhaps because I had come from the city to study here, which gave me a sense of superiority. I felt that the people in the village were timid. I can only say that I was still too immature back then, after all, I was still young

After finishing the arrangements, Liu Hui gave me a meal ticket worth 100 yuan and 200 yuan for living expenses. At that time, the school cafeteria did not charge money for meals, only accepting meal tickets. This 200 yuan pocket money was enough for me to last a month, and I guess Liu Hui gave me extra because she was worried I might not have enough to spend

After having dinner, I took a nap in the dormitory. Around 7 o'clock, I went to the classroom for evening self-study.

At that time, 20 yuan was not a small amount for a middle school student

This is the girl in the skirt whose clothes I tore apart. Her mother is a doctor. I was quite surprised to see her because this school is in a rural area, mostly attended by country folks. She looks just like a girl from a wealthy family, similar to Jing from the sunglasses. How could she be studying here

It was at this moment that I caught a glimpse of mhetushucom.com from the corner of my eye, and it seemed like someone was waving at me from behind. When I turned my head, I was startled to find that it was her! It was also this person who once again brought Mo Jingjie back into my life

My name might be a bit unusual, and some people in the class laughed when they heard it, which made me somewhat uncomfortable. At that moment, I looked at whoever laughed, and sure enough, a few of them quickly lowered their heads after making eye contact with me. I thought to myself: these are all people from the village, probably quite honest and timid.

Li Jing also asked me to introduce myself, so I simply said four words: My name is Lei Zhen. After that, I said nothing more. The homeroom teacher could only smile and asked a girl in the middle of the second row to move back one seat, meaning I was to take her original position.

The homeroom teacher is named Li Jing, and she clearly seems to be the type who enjoys flattering others. Perhaps it is due to my connection with the principal, but her attitude towards me is very warm. She even took me and Liu Hui to my dormitory and personally made my bed. The dormitory is quite large, resembling a factory workshop. Li Jing mentioned that all the boys in the class are in this one dormitory, totaling about thirty people

Li Jing said: I have my own arrangements, so you can sit in the third row

She sat down beside me and asked us both: How do you play this? I used to see my classmates playing and have always wanted to try it. Can you two teach me

Later, he had a stomachache and went to the restroom. The doctor's daughter was sitting across from me, smiled at me, and said: I saw your missing person notice on the street a while ago. What happened to you? Did you run away?

The girl was glaring at me at that moment, looking quite defiant. She glared at me, and I glared back at her. In the end, she was the first to look away, reluctantly pulling the table back towards https://www.hetushucom.com.

I know that the teacher wants to curry favor with me by having me sit at the front, but I am not comfortable with this arrangement. In the past, I did not perform well academically and always sat at the back, so sitting at the front makes me feel very uneasy

By the time we arrived at Gaocun Township, it was already around four or five in the afternoon. In the center of the township, there is an asphalt road that extends straight northward. Following this asphalt road all the way to the end, we reached our Gaocun Township Middle School. The school buildings are not tall and are quite dilapidated, surrounded primarily by fields, with no other buildings in sight. At that moment, I couldn't help but wonder, in such a remote place, how could one not be afraid to sleep here at night

While playing, the doctor's daughter, who was not far away, also came over. She did not know why, but when I saw her in the afternoon, she was still wearing a short-sleeved shirt and jeans. Now she had changed into a blue dress, with sandals on her feet, and white socks that reached her calves. At present, people might find it somewhat common and awkward, but at that time, she was undoubtedly the typical little princess type of girl

I nodded and fell silent, for at that moment, it seemed to me that the games in the arcade were still more exciting, and I was not very interested in these matters

The school's main gate consists of two large sheets of iron painted black, giving it a somewhat prison-like appearance. Inside the guardhouse, there are several men in their twenties, presumably security personnel.

I asked him in surprise, "Is there a computer training room here?" (At that time, there were no internet cafes, but there were private computer training rooms, which mainly featured simple single-player games)

After class, the people in the classroom occasionally glanced at me, probably because they were particularly curious about this new student. In any case, whenever someone looked at me, I would look back at them, maintaining a steady gaze. Most of the time, it was a mutual exchange of glances. However, later, when I turned to look at a boy with a center-parted hairstyle, he was also staring at me. If it weren't for his desk mate giving him a nudge, he would have continued to look. I thought to myself that there was a possibility for both of us to engage.

I glanced at him and said I am not hungry. He responded with an "oh" and then asked me if I play Red Alert

Upon arriving in the classroom, there was a teacher giving a lesson. Li Jing asked her to pause and then loudly said: Let me introduce a new classmate, Lei Zhen

As Li Jing led me to the classroom, she kept asking me questions, such as about my academic performance, where my home is, and what my parents do. I found her questions annoying and simply chose not to respond. She probably also felt it was uninteresting, so she stopped talking as well

I have heard of Red Alert before, but I have never played it. Then the man said: I can take you to play it sometime, it's really fun.

During the evening study session, the English teacher was absent due to some matters, which caused chaos in the class. Some students in the back row went out to play. I was sitting there feeling quite bored when a chubby-faced boy behind me waved at me, signaling me to come over, so I went over.

Upon hearing this, I immediately felt displeased, thinking to myself that I had originally planned to sit in the back. However, after what you said, I was determined to sit in the second row today. Therefore, I quickly walked over, signaling for her to move back and make room for me.

My deskmate has an average appearance, with a short haircut and a slender figure, lacking any feminine charm. It seems she has no interest in me as her new deskmate, not even glancing my way, as she is completely absorbed in her studies. Later, Li Jing called out to her, informing her that I do not have a new book for the time being, and that we would be looking at the same material during class.

At that moment, I realized that the doctor's daughter had also just transferred here
