Chapter 3, The Monsters in the School

It is quite a pity that you have only tasted the noodles from my home; in fact, my parents are also exceptionally skilled at cooking!

Hmm. Zhou Li nodded slightly

The homeroom teacher originally stipulated that the seating arrangement must be shifted every two weeks to ensure that each student has the opportunity to sit by the window. However, in the past two months, everyone has become too lazy to move, and the seating has more or less become fixed.

Hey ... um !

"It's good if there isn't any." Zhao Ma nodded and said with a tone of emotion: "Li Nan is just the kind of person who is unconventional, the type who doesn't listen and can't be changed. Sometimes I find it quite a headache, but at other times I think that such a fool is also quite interesting! As for you, you are completely different; you are too quiet. At your age, boys shouldn't be like this!"

Stare

Mother Zhao waved her hand, signaling him to enter

Every five to ten seconds, a burp from my deskmate can be heard beside me

It is already quite late to return to the classroom

"Later, when Zhao's mother comes over and sees you flying the plane, she will definitely put on a long face again." Li Nan sighed, "And then she will say that I am affecting your studies."

Zhou Li felt that he had perhaps become his 'plaything'. After that, he always sought out Zhou Li, treating him like a small pet, which caused Zhou Li a great deal of distress

Zhou Li, being tall and having good eyesight, thus sat in the last row, in the rightmost seat by the window

Zhou Li did not know what to say, so he continued to nod

Not long after, Li Nan returned to the classroom

Unaware that he had just missed a special opportunity, Li Nan continued to hiccup. Upon seeing this, Zhao Ma couldn't help but tease, "Oh, Brother Nan, you had a good meal tonight!"

The surrounding points respond in harmony.

How much have you eaten

With some experience in dealing with Zhou Li accumulated over the years, he usually made a conscious effort to avoid him, so for the first few months of their first year in high school, they coexisted peacefully. Until one day during the sports meeting, he unexpectedly discovered that Zhou Li could see him, and thus Zhou Li was removed from the list of ordinary people.

Li Nan's family runs a noodle shop, which is a well-known old noodle restaurant in Yan City, and it is also close to the school. Zhou Li has been going to her family's shop to eat noodles frequently since middle school, and they only truly got to know each other after the division of subjects in high school

Zhao Ma pressed her lips together and said, "At the same time, I hope you can help her. You are very solid in your studies, and it would be great if you could assist her! Her grades are really too unstable, and with the college entrance examination approaching, I don't understand how she can be so carefree!"

In his usual demeanor, he was like his other peers, avoiding contact with ordinary people unless in exceptional circumstances, and would actively steer clear if encountered. Zhou Li felt that there must be something restraining them.

During the second period of evening study, Zhao's mother arrived outside the classroom. After conducting a round of inspection, she called Zhou Li outside.

Of course, the focus in this last month should still be on studying, and I have great confidence in you regarding this. Once you reach university, you must not behave like you did in high school! You need to step outside, do you understand?

Recently, it has become a norm for Zhao's mother to have discussions with people, and Zhou Li is not anxious; he put down his book and left the classroom

The place he often stays is a small grove, which can be considered the backyard of the school. It only has an abandoned teacher's dormitory, and very few people go there. Zhou Li thinks he should be living there, but he does not have a small house or a cave-like dwelling. Zhou Li has never seen how he spends the night; he has only seen him crawl into an abandoned dormitory during heavy rain.

Well

What are you looking at ... ... uh

It is nothing. Zhou Li's gaze could not help but rise again.

She greeted Zhou Li as usual

It is already the last month, and it seems a bit late to say these things. I think you should sometimes learn more from Brother Nan, talk more with other classmates, and go exercise on the playground. Don't be afraid! Zhao Ma did not mention the issue of Zhou Li's spirit, but repeatedly emphasized one point: "Be a little braver. I can understand that there are some things you are unwilling to face, but you cannot be afraid of them. Face them bravely, try more, just like Brother Nan. If you make a mistake, you make a mistake; at worst, you will suffer a little... Just don't be as foolish as she is." "Be a little braver. I can understand that there are some things you are unwilling to face, but you cannot be afraid of them. Face them bravely, try more, just like Brother Nan. If you make a mistake, you make a mistake; at worst, you will suffer a little... Just don't be as foolish as she is."

Well

We have only been desk mates for one month now

The deathly gaze from outside the window made Li Nan behave himself

Zhou Li quite likes this position, as it allows him to see the playground outside, enjoy the dappled sunlight filtering through the leaves, and have a view of the entire classroom inside

Understood

There are a total of forty-seven students in the class, with seats arranged in a 2-4-2 pattern, and one position is vacant in six rows. The arrangement of seats is based on a rather complex set of criteria, adhering to principles of height and vision, accommodating the personal preferences of the students, and, of course, the teacher's wishes are also significant. In summary, this method is much better than the neighboring class's rule of selecting seats based on academic performance.

Oh. Li Nan thought for a moment and realized that she had indeed never heard Zhao Ma scold Zhou Li, but she was not very concerned about it. Her topic immediately shifted to another aspect, "I feel so full."

She then called Li Nan out.

Li Nan smiled sheepishly with a chuckle

That person has been at this school for a long time, at least longer than Zhou Li

As for the view outside the window, it is the end of dusk, with a few clouds drifting at the horizon, dyed golden by the setting sun, light as feathers. A dark cloud directly above is also edged in gold, its outline resembling that of a dog. On the playground, only a few scattered individuals are leisurely making their way to the teaching building. Zhou Li can see from a distance a figure standing beside a tree, his large physique quite conspicuous, yet he remains motionless.

That day the rain was particularly heavy, and it seems even he could not endure it.

Several classmates cast curious glances at her

No, she won't. Zhou Li is always able to notice her before Zhao's mother arrives

Gradually, the weather outside began to change

A question that ended with a hiccup startled him, and what came into view was Li Nan's curious expression

In the afternoon, everyone was full of energy, and there were many people playing around. Chen Guohua and Zhang Xiuhua at the front desk were constantly launching sneak attacks on each other, with each strike targeting areas that were too embarrassing to mention.

No," Zhou Li shook his head

"Has Li Nan influenced your studies?" asked Zhao's mother

Unfortunately, he is not seated right next to the window, but rather next to the aisle, with a cluster of fluffy hair between him and the window

He discovered that when Li Nan hiccupped, his ahoge would also move

Zhou Li did not need to crouch at the back door to eavesdrop; his senses were exceptionally keen. With a little concentration, he could easily pick out the voices of Zhao Ma and Li Nan from the cacophony of sounds.

Very interesting

Accompanied by a faint and delicate hiccup sound

During the evening self-study session for English, Zhou Li does not like English, and even with the book in hand, he cannot focus on it, his eyes wandering aimlessly around the room

She nudged Zhou Li with her elbow and leaned closer to him, saying: "Hey, Zhao Ma just called you to go out..."

Zhou Li has taken it in.

A few young men who have just returned from playing basketball lift their shirts to wipe off sweat, subtly revealing the contours of their abdominal muscles

Zhou Li inside also smiled, then picked up the book to write an essay, no longer listening to the words outside

Classmate Li Nan sauntered into the classroom just before class started, tossing her black shoulder bag onto the desk with a thud, reminiscent of a hammer striking the surface of the table
