When Ding Ke arrived at the classroom, it had already been decorated. The classmates were sitting quietly in their seats, doing their homework. Ding Ke was puzzled by this and was about to ask them what was going on.

With a bang, several students in the class fired fireworks, and the class shouted in unison, "Warmly welcome our dear teacher Ding!!!"

Ding Ke was startled, then came to his senses and smiled, "You guys, you are really good at creating show effects."

"That's because we have such an excellent teacher like you," a classmate flattered.

Ding Ke glared at him, "Don't be so joking, the teacher won't buy it. You guys have good intentions, and doing well on the exam is the best answer for me." After that, he waved his hand, "Please stop doing your homework and reading. In these two classes today, we won't talk about studying, we'll just relax!"

The students' noises were so loud that they almost blew the roof off the classroom. Ding Ke shushed them, "Students, keep your voices down. Students from other classes still have classes to attend. Don't disturb them."

The students became quieter, so Ding Ke asked Cheng Si and the others to distribute some snacks to each seat.

After handing out the balls, he began to say, "Our first game is passing the flower. I'll play some music later, and you pass the ball to me. When the music stops, the student who gets the ball will draw a punishment here." He took a sip of tea and said, "These are all the punishments that the students wrote themselves. The teacher can't predict what you will encounter. You know it in your hearts."

Several students below were trying hard to hold back their laughter. The ball was passed around after a round. Cheng Si was lucky enough not to be passed around, but Lin Zhi next to him was passed around once.

At this time, Lin Zhi was still reciting his words. When it was his turn, the music stopped, and he went straight to the podium without saying a word.

Lin Zhi pulled out a slip of paper, glanced at it, pulled the corner of his mouth, put the slip of paper on the table, and knocked it, "You really dare to write it!"

Yu Jiajia was sitting close by and asked curiously, "What is it?"

Xin Yisong, who was sitting next to him, picked it up and took a look. He cleared his throat and spoke clearly, "The punishment is to find a classmate here to act like a spoiled child in the Eighth Company."

The classroom was silent for a moment. In the past, this kind of punishment was nothing to Lin Zhi, but everyone had seen the changes in Lin Zhi during this period, so no one dared to make a fuss at this moment.

Lin Zhi didn't think it was a big deal. He leaned on the podium and glanced at the classroom. "Excuse me, which classmate wrote this? I'll go give you a gift in return and show you how to do it."

No one in the classroom spoke. Xin Yisong, who had just read the script, waved his hand and said, "Don't look for it. It's here."

Although everyone knows that according to Xin Yisong's personality, he had just said it when he wrote it, and he would not say it now.

But no one said anything at this moment, and everyone assumed that he wrote it.

Lin Zhi did not hesitate and moved closer to Xin Song. When they looked at each other, there was calmness in their eyes. Lin Zhi slowly read the words on the paper, "Brother, please, please, please, please, is it possible..." His tone was serious. He finished his task and returned to his seat.

Some girls in the classroom were a little excited for some reason, whispering, "They really have that feeling, you know?!"

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I know, I got it!"

"I just now realize how handsome Lin Zhi is!"

"In fact, he used to be quite good-looking, but he was too noisy. I hardly paid attention to him. Now he has lost a lot of weight and looks a bit cold. How do I put it? Do you understand what I mean?"

"I see."

Cheng Si was listening in the corner and found it a little funny. The topics these girls talked about were even encrypted, and he was a little impressed that they could still chat about it.

Lin Zhi, who was in the topic, did not pay attention to what they said. He continued to concentrate on memorizing his words, turning a deaf ear to the outside world and focusing on reading the books of sages.

The game went on for a while, and then we played idiom chain games, brain teasers and other games that required thinking.

The students played happily for two classes. Before school was over, Ding Ke handed out test papers for them to take home and wrote them. Then he waved his hand and announced the end of school.

Cheng Si packed up his things, and Lin Zhi beside him also packed up. The two walked out of the classroom side by side. During this period of time, they walked together after school. Lin Zhi lived at his grandmother's house, so the two of them happened to be going the same way.

I don't know how Lin Zhi grew. In just one month, he had already grown four or five centimeters taller. He was originally two centimeters taller than Cheng Si, but now he is much taller.

When asked, he said calmly, "My grandma's food is good."

Cheng Si had nothing to say. Grandma Lin Zhi’s cooking was indeed very unique and the food was very nutritious.

Cheng Si sometimes goes there to eat for free, but he hasn't grown taller. However, he is only 15 years old now, and there is still a lot of growth to come, so Cheng Si is not worried about not growing taller.

Compared to his height, Lin Zhi's personality has changed more significantly. People who experience many setbacks tend to grow up quickly.

I don’t know what happened during this period of time. Cheng Si’s mother, Ms. Yu Yanqing, who I rarely saw throughout the year, has been coming back very frequently recently.

What they didn’t talk about last time was job transfer. Instead, they discussed Cheng Si’s schooling. Ever since Cheng Si returned to Lingshui Town, Ms. Yu had some other ideas.

The general meaning is that they hope Cheng Si will think about it carefully and go to another city with them after the high school entrance examination. Cheng Si answered this question very decisively. He wanted to stay in Nancheng.

Or if they go somewhere else, it's okay, but they have to bring grandma along. They talked about this twice, and both times were not pleasant. Yu Yanqing also knew that Cheng Si was really stubborn, and she didn't want to affect his high school entrance exam.

So he didn't mention it anymore, thinking that after Cheng Si finished his high school entrance exam and his father was done with his busy schedule, he would go home and let Cheng Yi come and persuade his son.

In the next few days, Cheng Si's mother became busy with work and had no time to take care of Cheng Si, so Cheng Si breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to live with his parents, but he has been accustomed to being alienated from them since he was a child, so he can't help but feel homesick and dare not get too close to them. Also, because of what happened later, an invisible gap has been created between them.

He was also afraid that if their relationship deteriorated further because of that reason, he thought it would be best not to start at the beginning. He didn't want to hurt anyone, and the current relationship was the best it could be.

……

The high school entrance exam is almost a week away, but Cheng Si doesn't seem nervous at all. He has been eager to try since he saw the photo of Jiang Jin and a few others forming a band.

After asking several times, Jiang Jin finally told him the specific location. Therefore, he would not go home after school every afternoon, but would take a bus directly to a small bar where Jiang Jin performed.

Originally, Cheng Si was not allowed to enter due to his age, but the bar owner was Jiang Jin's friend, so he made an exception and let him in because of Jiang Jin.

Over time, Cheng Si became familiar with the other people in the bar. There were no customers at this time, so when they saw him coming over, they all greeted him with a smile.

Every time Cheng Si came, he would just listen to their rehearsals and would not stay long. He would go back early for the night show, so Jiang Jin did not care about him and let him play by himself.

But now, the high school entrance exam is almost here, and this kid still comes here every day, so I taught him a lesson, "You should go back and study hard."

Cheng Si touched his nose and waved his hand helplessly, "Brother, I have been the first in the school in the last few exams. I have learned everything I should learn. I really can't continue reading when I go back."

"..." Jiang Jin was silent and ignored him.

Others who heard their conversation couldn't help laughing.

"Brother, you run here every day and still have such good grades. What do you eat to have such a good brain?" The lead singer of the band teased, his voice a little hoarse.

"Maybe time has reshaped the water," Cheng Si said the truth, but the others who heard this answer were stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.

Someone patted Jiang Jin who was tuning his guitar and couldn't help laughing, "Jiang Jin, where did you find such a brother? He's so cute when he speaks seriously."

Jiang Jin didn't respond. He waved to Cheng Si, signaling him to come over. Cheng Si stopped listening to their teasing and walked to Jiang Jin, asking in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Jin nodded at him and handed him a microphone, "Sing a song for me."

Cheng Si was stunned for a moment, then took the microphone and asked, "What are you singing?"

Jiang Jin glanced at him and put down his piano. "Whatever. You sing and I play."

Cheng Si thought for two seconds, cleared his throat, hummed a melody, and looked at Jiang Jin. He was surprised for a second, then immediately understood and played the prelude.

Cheng Si sang, "If you missed the train I'm on,You will know that I am gone,You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles.A hundred miles, a hundred miles..." With pure American accent, her voice was lingering and gentle, and the surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Cheng Si was immersed in the lyrics of the song and sang with great devotion, "You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles, You can hear the whistle blow a hundred miles..." At the end of the song, Cheng Si fell silent. There was silence for a second or two, and then someone clapped his hands, and then people around him clapped.

Someone seemed to be touched, wiped his eyes, then looked at Cheng Si with sparkling eyes and smiled, "Little friend, you are very talented!"

Cheng Si also pulled the corner of his mouth at him without saying anything. Jiang Jin patted Cheng Si's shoulder and said, "You will be the lead singer tonight."

Cheng Si was a little confused. Why did he have to sing the lead song himself?

The lead singer came over and smiled lovingly at Cheng Si, "That's great, brother. Have you ever thought about going into music or playing in a band? You have a great voice."

Cheng Si shook his head. He really didn't have the ability to take on this job.

Seeing Cheng Si's confusion, the lead singer explained, "My throat is uncomfortable today, and I wanted to hold back the singing, but Brother Jin said he could find someone suitable to replace me. I was still wondering who it would be, but it turns out that someone far away is right before my eyes."

Since he was already familiar with this group of people, it was impossible for Cheng Si to refuse, and he had no choice but to accept the job.
