Reborn As a Top Student In the 1990s

Chapter 9 Old Green Plum

Chapter 9 Old Green Plum

The sunset in autumn hangs in a corner of the horizon, stretching the shadows of the sycamore trees on both sides of the campus path.

Wen Ling held Fang Qing on her arm and jumped all the way. She kept sharing the happiness of the day with her little mouth. The smile on the girl's face gradually infected the corners of Fang Qing's mouth.

　　Brother Fang Ming worked overtime today and had someone send the news in advance, telling Fang Qing to go with her classmates after school, or to go to Wen's house first and pick her up when he got off work.

Wen Ling just happened to be pestering her to talk about the topic these days, so she simply replied to her brother that she would go to Wen's house to wait for him.

Two little girls were waiting for Wen Ning at the school gate. They turned around and saw a new shop opened on the roadside. Without saying anything, they pulled Fang Qing and walked in.

The glass display cabinet made of new wood was wiped clean and the glass could not be seen. Wen Ling lay on it and looked at it row by row. The more she looked at it, the more she felt itchy.

“Qingqing, look, this racket is of much better quality than the ones sold in department stores! If I buy this, I guarantee that none of them can beat me.”

Fang Qing looked along Wen Ling's hand and saw that it was a pair of fine table tennis rackets. In recent years, the country has encouraged the development of sports, and various colleges and universities have begun to recruit students with sports talents. Therefore, the enthusiasm for sports in schools has been very high.

 Wen Ling, a girl who seems to be jumping around, unexpectedly likes to play table tennis. She can always be seen playing with other students during class breaks.

In Fang Qing's view, people who can play table tennis calmly are people with a flexible mind and a stable mentality. So when he learned that she loved table tennis, Fang Qing thought that she wouldn't be able to persist for long, but she didn't expect this A guy who knows nothing about mathematics, physics and chemistry is exceptionally good at understanding the game.

Fang Qing raised his hand to indicate that the boss wanted to see something, then took the racket and handed it to Wen Ling.

Wen Ling took it carefully and made a few gestures with it in her hand. She fell in love with this racket even more and couldn't put it down.

Fang Qing saw that Wen Ling liked it and was attracted to it, but when he took a look at the price, he felt a little embarrassed: This racket actually costs three yuan!

 In this era, the economic development is still very slow, and the average person's monthly income is only a few dozen yuan, and three yuan is a relatively large expenditure.

And they were still students. After deducting their daily expenses, they only had RMB 80 in their pockets. It was still a bit difficult for Fang Qing to take out three RMB at once.

But thinking that the weekend was Wen Ling's birthday, Fang Qing was cruel and took out her food expenses for the next week. When Wen Ling wasn't paying attention, she quietly called the boss to prepare a surprise for her.

“Boss, wrap this up for me...”

 “This racket is good, brother Changqing, I want this!”

The racket in his hand was suddenly taken away, and Fang Qing was a little angry. He turned around to see who was so incompetent, and then he was stunned. It turned out to be Sun Changqing and Liu Xiuxiu.

 The young man has a smile on his face, which makes people look at him amiably; the girl is pretty and cute, and her clothes are fashionable. Although the two of them don't look like the same kind of people, the arms linked together still show that they have a close relationship.

Fang Qing didn't want to pay attention to the two of them, but he had to buy something, so he motioned to the boss to pack the things. But Liu Xiuxiu never let go of the racket, which made the boss a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry, this is the only one in the store now. The next batch of goods will arrive next week. This young man, this girl took a fancy to him first. It’s better to…”

“Brother Changqing, it’s my birthday soon. It’s rare to find someone you like, so just buy it for me...”

 After saying that, he pretended to notice Fang Qing, "Classmate, please leave it to me... Huh? Fang Qing? So it's you..."

Sun Changqing immediately recognized Fang Qing next to her. The little girl had grown into a great beauty. This made Sun Changqing feel a little hot on his face, "Qingqing, long time no see."

Sun Changqing's soft voice was like a pleasant ringtone, making the eyes of the girls around them suddenly light up. However, Fang Qing had no reaction. She just nodded politely to greet Liu Xiuxiu, and then looked at Liu Xiuxiu aside, "This is what I took a fancy to first." Yes, I’m sorry, I’m in a hurry too.”

Hearing this, Liu Xiuxiu immediately pouted aggrievedly, but Sun Changqing's attention was entirely on Fang Qing. He turned away from Liu Xiuxiu and hurriedly replied, "It's okay, it's okay. I'll give it to you first."

 The boss breathed a sigh of relief and quickly packed it in a small box and handed it to Fang Qing.

 “You, are you okay?” he asked again.

Looking at the young man with red ears in front of him, Fang Qing felt like he was in another world. In the last life, he stood in front of her like this, shyly but stubbornly handing over a beautiful envelope, and seriously confessing his love to the fallen autumn leaves.

At that time, she had been his playmate since childhood. I heard that her family had arranged a baby wedding for the two of them. Therefore, Fang Qing was looking forward to his confession and was sure of it. If something hadn't happened to her later, , maybe the two of them will have a happy ending.

But there is no rehearsal in life. Her previous life was so miserable, and those young loves that only existed in her memory had long since dissipated in time in the long and painful years.

Although she never thought about renewing their relationship, she never thought that the two of them would meet in such a situation in this life.

Fang Qing's silence made the atmosphere a little awkward. Wen Ling turned around and noticed that the strange boy was staring directly at Fang Qing. She subconsciously blocked Fang Qing and was about to open her mouth to reprimand. The girl spoke up, "Fang Qing? Don't you recognize me? I'm Xiuxiu."

 Liu Xiuxiu? Oh, of course she recognizes it. Although she has deliberately alienated those people in her hometown in this life, this former "good friend" has done so many good things that she can't forget it even if she wants to!

In their previous life, the two were playmates when they were young. When they grew up, they went to school and played together. After something happened to her, she had nowhere to tell her. Because Fang Qing completely trusted her, she told her about her pregnancy and asked for help. But she never expected that, The next day it caused a storm in the city...

Thinking of this, Fang Qing's face turned slightly cold. He put the things into his bag and lowered his eyelids to block the look in his eyes. "I'm not impressed." After saying that, he pulled Wen Ling away.

Unexpectedly, Liu Xiuxiu stepped forward and held her arm to stop her from leaving, and then pretended to be close to each other, "Qingqing, Brother Changqing heard about you during this time. We are worried about you. It's okay." The matter is settled. But after not seeing each other for a few years, how did you learn to fight? Girls, you still have to pay attention to your image..."

Fang Qing was confused by Liu Xiuxiu's actions. It took him a long time to react. Several times he tried to pull out his arm, but Liu Xiuxiu held her tightly. Fang Qing even felt that she was deliberately pinching the tender flesh on the inside of her arm.

Seeing her frowning in pain, Wen Ling pushed away the entangled Liu Xiuxiu, put her hands on her hips and raised her eyebrows angrily, "Is there something wrong with you? People say they don't remember you, so why are you still pestering others? Just relax. Come on, you hurt her!"

Liu Xiuxiu looked at Wen Ling who was in the way, her lowered eyes full of viciousness. She turned around to look at Sun Changqing, and her expression immediately changed.
