Kaden Jiang crossed his arms and stretched his legs, which was a bit unpleasant.
The players who were playing basketball before were not very good at it. If he was wearing sneakers, it would probably not be a big problem to play two on five with Arlo Pan, but it was quite interesting to watch them play, and they seemed to be the best. A sense of superiority.
Now that Jasper Gu and his two friends came on stage, the whole atmosphere changed.
Because Jasper Gu plays the ball... very well. It depends on their original school. They were definitely the type who enjoyed the screams of many girls during the high school league in the city. The "Yes Bird" team who played with him was also very good. They changed from sitting in the grocery store. The gangsters on the chairs in the store worked very well together, making the two on their side a little redundant.
So for Kaden Jiang, a ball like this doesn't give him a sense of superiority.
He didn't have any special dislike for Jasper Gu, but he definitely didn't have a good impression of him. At this time, he thought to himself that this guy did a good job, but at the same time he tried to correct him. He was nothing but a cool showman... ..
"This guy is a good player," Arlo Pan said without any clue, "How do you know him?"
"It turns out our team is just average." Kaden Jiang said.
"Hey, you're on the basketball team?" Before Arlo Pan could say anything, Brody Li next to him spoke, with a provocative tone, "How about the other guy on the other side comes down and you come on?"
Kaden Jiang turned to look at him: "No."
"No?" Brody Li was stunned for a moment, probably thinking that he would accept the challenge happily, but he didn't expect that he would refuse, "Why?"
"Guess." Kaden Jiang stood up and walked towards the entrance of the gymnasium.
Arlo Pan stretched and followed, leaving behind a few confused people.
"You nameless B@st@ard," Arlo Pan shrank after leaving the gym, "Do you have a grudge against that kid?"
"It's just my third day here," Kaden Jiang said.
"That's right, the time is too short, and it's too late to have a relationship with anyone," Arlo Pan sighed, "Anyway, you don't like who you are looking at right now."
"You're still good." Kaden Jiang glanced at him.
Arlo Pan laughed: "Hey, really, how do you know that person? A sophomore in high school?"
"...neighbors." Kaden Jiang said.
"On the same floor as you?" Arlo Pan asked.
"The street next to it." Kaden Jiang answered simply.
"Ah." Arlo Pan responded.
In fact, he felt that Arlo Pan might not be able to react to this concept at once. They both grew up in a closed community. There were two types of neighbors, those in the same building and those in the same community. The former kind of people just nodded and the latter kind of people just ignored each other. A quick meeting.
They didn't have much contact with such neighbors in the street next to them.
Kaden Jiang sighed softly, having the illusion that he was actually here to participate in the Metamorphosis.
"Is there any mountain? Let's go see the snow." Arlo Pan slapped him.
"Climbing a mountain in such a cold weather? Aren't you afraid that your brain will freeze? You can't move very well in the first place," Kaden Jiang said, "Have you never seen snow?"
"It's snowier than where we are." Arlo Pan put her arm on his shoulder, "Kaden Jiang'er, I'll take you to get some fresh air. Why don't we just change the place? What's the big deal? Just change the parents." Well, what's the matter... This is a bit big, let me think about what to say..."
"Okay, go climb the mountain," Kaden Jiang was amused by him and waved his arm, "What's the big fucking deal."
After playing a game, Jasper Gu felt warm all over his body. The feeling of being unable to wake up for the past two days finally disappeared. He put on his coat and looked back at the court. There were expressions in his eyes because he finally decided to leave. A joyful person: "Thank you."
"Don't fight?" Someone asked, probably out of habit.
"How about another one?" Jasper Gu said.
Several people were silent, looking embarrassed.
Jasper Gu laughed and pulled his zipper: "Let's go."
After walking out of the stadium, Micah Liu jumped twice: "It's boring. I told you to rent a venue in the sports center to play. You have to come to your school."
"How energetic do you want it to be?" Jasper Gu said.
"Playing ball with high school students is ridiculous," Micah Liu said.
"You are only two years away from being a high school student." Brody Li glanced at him sideways.
Jasper Gu raised his middle finger and stretched it out in front of Micah Liu's eyes: "You won me one on one, you can say whatever you want."
Several people were happy.
"Fcuk," Micah Liu slapped his hand away, "go eat something, I'm hungry."
"I'm not going," Jasper Gu looked at his phone, "I'm going home."
"Go back to the store?" Brody Li asked, "Isn't your mother in the store today?"
"I took Ermiao for a physical examination. I went to get the form and made an appointment today," Jasper Gu said. "It takes her a long time to coax her to go to the hospital, which is time-consuming."
"Let's go over and play for a while in the evening." Micah Liu said.
"Let's talk about it," Jasper Gu took out his car keys, "I'm leaving."
"You always leave as soon as you say," Brody Li said, "I'm not used to being so enthusiastic today."
"You just owe it." Jasper Gu turned around and walked away.
If there is no energy in the day, it will pass very slowly. But if there is a little bit of energy, it will flow like an unstoppable waterfall.
The little bit of relaxation and pleasure brought by Pandit soon slipped away.
"You really don't want to take that pile of food?" Kaden Jiang stood in the waiting hall and looked at the scrolling messages.
"I said take it, can you go back to the hotel and bring it to me now?" Arlo Pan said.
"Don't take it seriously, I just have nothing to say." Kaden Jiang looked at him.
"Those foods are brought here for you to eat. I'm afraid you won't be able to find a place to buy them for a while." Arlo Pan sighed, "Tell me, should you go back on May Day, or should I come here again?"
"I won't go back," Kaden Jiang said, "I said I won't go back."
"You are blind and stubborn and you don't know anything about you," Arlo Pan said, "Then I'll come over and bring the rest of the class over to have some fun. How about that?"
"Let's talk about it then," Kaden Jiang leaned against the wall, "I don't think we are very familiar with each other. After not seeing each other for a few months, no one may be willing to come over. This is not a tourist attraction."
"Well, we'll discuss it then." Arlo Pan nodded.
The two were silent for a while, and then Arlo Pan, who had been sitting, suddenly stood up and stared at Kaden Jiang face to face.
"What are you doing!" Kaden Jiang was startled by him and pointed at him, "Stop talking! I'll slap you."
"Give me a hug." Pandit opened his arms.
"Fcuk." Kaden Jiang was a little speechless and opened his arms to give him a hug.
"Don't forget me," said Pandit, "I mean it."
Kaden Jiang sighed softly: "If you come to see me on May Day, I won't forget it."
Arlo Pan laughed: "Okay."
In the few days before school started, Colin Li cooked a total of one meal, and he was not at home during the rest of the meal times.
Kaden Jiang wanted to try cooking some noodles at first, but when he entered the kitchen and saw a pile of pots and pans scattered around and bottles of various spices covered with a layer of grease, he suddenly lost his mood.
In the past few days, he ate all the restaurants whose names he was interested in within a kilometer radius of the food ordering app, and finally had enough to eat before school started.
Kaden Jiang was a little surprised when his new head teacher called him on the first day.
"No one has answered your father's phone." The head teacher said.
This is not surprising. He has bad ears and is always at the card table. Kaden Jiang passed by the downstairs of the house where Colin Li played cards several times. Every time, he could hear the noise above from downstairs.
The class teacher's surname was Xu, and he sounded like an uncle. He was very enthusiastic, which slightly eased Kaden Jiang's uneasiness in facing the new environment.
It started snowing early on the day I reported to school. Indeed, as Arlo Pan said, we had never seen such heavy snow before.
It's pretty cool.
When he entered the school gate, he paid attention to the students around him. He felt that they all looked similar, but they were all high school students, and there were also many unfamiliar faces, but the feeling of strangeness was particularly strong.
He also paid special attention to see if there was Jasper Gu's face, but he didn't see it.
"Kaden Jiang, your name is good." The class teacher, Uncle Xu, is indeed an uncle. He seems to be an uncle who drank wine in the morning. "My surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Lin. I am your class teacher. I teach you Chinese, and all the classmates in the class call me "Lao Xu, Mr. Xu."
"Lao Xu...Mr." Kaden Jiang bowed slightly towards him in a polite manner, feeling that no matter how he called him, something was wrong.
"Let's chat first. I'll finish reading in a while and the first period is Chinese class. I'll take you there." Lao Xu pointed to the chair next to him, "Sit down."
Kaden Jiang sat down.
"Not many people transfer to another school after their sophomore year of high school," Old Xu smiled, "Especially when they transfer to our school... I looked at your previous transcript and your grades were very good."
"It's not bad." Kaden Jiang said.
"It's not okay, it's very good. Don't be modest," Lao Xu laughed. After he finished laughing, he sighed and said softly, "It's a pity to come to our place."
Kaden Jiang said nothing and looked at Lao Xu.
His former head teacher said this, but it was a pity that the number of teachers and students and the quality of teaching there were not good... But when Lao Xu said the same thing, Kaden Jiang was quite surprised.
"I think your scores in science are better than those in liberal arts," Lao Xu said, "Why did you choose the liberal arts class?"
Kaden Jiang felt that this question was not easy to answer, because both his parents wanted him to choose science. He couldn't say such an answer that would make him feel so good. Although he had already done this kind of thing, he still couldn't say it. Feel like a sparkling colorful*.
After hesitating for a long time, he said: "I like our class teacher. He leads the liberal arts class."
"That's it," Lao Xu was stunned, "Then I hope you like me too. It's a bit troublesome to transfer to the science class now."
"Oh." Kaden Jiang looked at his face.
Lao Xu looked at him for a while and then laughed. He also had fun for a long time. This class teacher was quite interesting.
After the preparation bell for the first class rang, Lao Xu took a file bag and tucked it under his arm, then took a USB flash drive and put it in his pocket: "Come on, I'll take you to class."
"Yes." Kaden Jiang threw his schoolbag over his shoulder and followed him out of the office.
According to Lao Xu, No. 4 Middle School is not a very good school, but the campus is quite large, but the layout of the teaching building is a bit unique. Other classes were divided by grade, but the second and third grade liberal arts classes were taken out and placed in a three-story old building. The middle of the stairs was used as the dividing line, with second graders on the left and third graders on the right.
Kaden Jiang felt that he was about to become a fan of fatalism. Even if he changed schools, he could be placed in a dilapidated building. The floors were actually made of wooden boards. The old and worn floors were so worn that the real color could not be seen. People were always worried about stepping on them. You can fall directly from the third floor to the first floor.
"This building is an old building," Lao Xu introduced to him, "Don't underestimate its age. The design is very scientific. The teacher does not need a microphone in the classroom here, nor does he need to raise his voice. The students in the back row can also listen. Very clear."
"Oh." Kaden Jiang nodded.
"Our class is on the third floor," Lao Xu continued. "You can't see far from the height, but you still have a good view of the playground."
"Yes." Kaden Jiang continued to nod.
"Where's our school..." Lao Xu said as he walked, turned the corner of the stairs and looked up and suddenly shouted in a low voice, "Jasper Gu! You are late again!"
This name made Kaden Jiang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then he looked up. A man who was slowly walking upstairs turned his head with a bag of milk in his mouth. ,
Despite the backlight, Kaden Jiang recognized at a glance that this was indeed Jasper Gu, not the one with the same name.
"Good morning, Mr. Xu." Jasper Gu said vaguely with milk in his mouth, and glanced at Kaden Jiang's face. Probably like Kaden Jiang, he was no longer surprised by this kind of meeting.
"You're still dangling late, why don't you climb up!" Lao Xu pointed at him, "You're so lazy just after school started!"
Jasper Gu said nothing, turned around, took a few steps up the stairs and disappeared into the corridor on the third floor.
This No. 4 Middle School is indeed incomparable with my previous school. At this moment, the school bell rang and the teachers entered the classroom. There were still many students in the corridor who had no intention of entering the classroom and were leaning on the railings to chat.
The second graders looked lazy and lazy. When Kaden Jiang turned around and looked at the third graders, they also looked like a bird. He looked carefully again and didn't see Jasper Gu who had just come up.
Lao Xu entered the classroom next to the stairs. Kaden Jiang followed and looked at the door frame. There was a sign that read, Grade 2 (8).
8, okay, finally there is something that makes him happy, although he doesn't know where an 8 can make him rich.
There were also many people standing in the corridor outside Class 8. They saw Lao Xu entering the classroom without moving, and saw Kaden Jiang also entering the classroom. They probably came in because they wanted to watch.
Lao Xu stood on the podium, looking at the dozens of people below who couldn't calm down, and seemed to be patiently waiting for everyone to calm down.
During this process, Kaden Jiang stood at the edge of the podium, receiving all kinds of looks and whispered comments.
He feels quite awkward, although if someone stares at him, he will usually stare back. "What are you looking at" has no deterrent effect on him. But now that dozens of people in a class are staring at him, he is a little confused. If there are too many goals, he will lose his target. All the faces are connected together.
The god of irritability was twisting in his body. He suppressed his anger and glanced at Lao Xu. Lao Xu still looked at the dozens of people who could not calm down with a calm expression.
He suddenly felt that he had made some mistakes in his judgment of the class teacher. He was not kind. He should be the kind of good guy who had no power to intimidate students.
After a while, this state had no intention of ending. Kaden Jiang, who was struggling on the edge of an explosion, couldn't bear it any longer and asked, "Are we going to wait until they are all silent?"
Lao Xu turned his head and looked at him.
At the same time, dozens of people who had been buzzing like a magic sound suddenly fell silent.
Once Kaden Jiang gets angry, it's a little difficult to control him. He usually tries to control it before he gets angry. If he can't control it, he falls in love with someone else.
Now being left standing here like a fool for at least three minutes, with dozens of people staring at and talking about him, for him, it was like taking a bag of dynamite and detonating it between his legs.
My eggs have burst, there is no me in this world.
"Okay, let me introduce..." Old Xu smiled and clapped his hands.
"Kaden Jiang, I transferred here," Kaden Jiang interrupted with a calm voice, "Can I sit down?"
Lao Xu was stunned.
Someone in the classroom whistled, and suddenly the shouts started again, mixed with a few louder shouts: "That's awesome!"
"Then you sit down, just sit down..." Lao Xu looked towards the back row, "That's it, Jasper Gu, raise your hand."
From the first row to the last row, everyone's heads turned back as if they were beating a drum to spread flowers, and Kaden Jiang's eyes followed them all the way back.
He saw Jasper Gu sitting in the last row with his feet on the edge of the table and half a fried dough stick in his mouth.
Kaden Jiang suddenly felt a force shouting in his body, encouraging him to write a novel called "The King of Routines--All the Coincidences in the World Belong to Me".
Jasper Gu raised his hand perfunctorily.
Kaden Jiang used to sit in the back row at school, and the seats in the class would be rotated once a week to ensure that everyone could sit in the front row, but every time he would move back to the back row.
He likes the back row, where it is quiet and undisturbed. It is easy to sneak out through the back door while sleeping.
But now, he was uncomfortable sitting in the back row.
The tables and chairs were all misaligned and in a small position, with their backs almost touching the wall, and no one was quiet.
Some were chatting, some were playing with their mobile phones, and some were eating fried dough sticks slowly beside him.
Kaden Jiang was a little speechless. Although there was nothing he could do in school to make the teacher comfortable except his grades, after all, he was still in a school that could compete with key high schools in terms of admission rate and key points rate. This kind of class atmosphere was the same as a tea party. He really hasn't experienced it.
When he took out his book and opened it to listen to Lao Xu's lecture, he felt that he would look like a lunatic in the eyes of the people around him.
Jasper Gu didn't chat with anyone, nor did he sleep. He just lowered his head, put earplugs in his ears, and started listening to music.
A boy at the front table started to push the table back, turned his face sideways and shouted, "Da Fei."
The table shook.
"Big fly."
The table shook.
"Hey Da Fei."
The table shook.
"Big fly?"
Kaden Jiang stared at the words in the book, slapped the man on the head and hit the man on the head with a book while doing multiple-choice questions. Finally, he reached out and pulled the plug out of Jasper Gu's ear.
Jasper Gu glanced at him, and he stared at Jasper Gu without saying anything.
"Da Fei, hey, Da Fei." The person in front arched the table again.
"Yeah." Jasper Gu responded, still looking at Kaden Jiang.
Kaden Jiang also looked at him indifferently.
"You can lend me your camera for a while and I'll return it to you tomorrow," the person in front said.
"I won't borrow it." Jasper Gu turned away.
"Fcuk, don't be stingy, I'll just take two pictures." The man said.
"Get lost." Jasper Gu said simply, then put on his headphones and continued listening to music.
"It's just for one night." The man leaned over the table again, "I'll return it to you early tomorrow morning."
The table shook.
"Fcuk, Da Fei, Da Fei..." The man continued to hold the table.
Kaden Jiang really didnt understand why he had to talk about this in class, why he had to lean over the table to talk about it, why he was so persistent even after being rejected, and he also didnt understand why Jasper Gu was unwilling to borrow a camera, why his attitude was so tight-lipped, and why he could. Endure the table and suffer from epilepsy.
He raised his leg and kicked the chair of the person in front of him hard.
There was a loud noise, a bang.
The man was kicked forward and hit the table.
"Fcuk?" The man turned his head sharply.
All the students around him stared at him.
"Please don't hit the table," Kaden Jiang looked at him and said calmly, "Thank you."
The man probably hadn't come back to his senses yet, he opened his mouth but said nothing.
