The two of them didn't say a word throughout the morning, Jiang Xingan nestled in his seat peacefully, except for exercising between classes and going to the bathroom with Fu Chengfeng, he never moved a step.Bai Yu glanced at him from a distance, then turned around and continued to maintain his divine posture.As soon as the school bell rang in the morning, Lu Tian rushed over and hooked Jiang Xing's neck, "Practice the ball, practice the ball, and go out to eat out after practice."

"Oh, no, no, no, I failed the monthly exam. Last night my father called me and scolded me. I have to study hard. Isn't it too early for the class competition?"

"It's not too early, okay, there are still more than 20 days to start."

"There are still more than 20 days to start?! Didn't you say that there are still a week?"

"...Didn't I remember wrongly..."

"Then I'd better study hard!" Jiang Xing said loudly, while glancing at Fu Chengfeng who was still sitting in his seat.During lunch, the two of them didn't say a word, and they were always in a strange and tacit state of "you look up and I eat, and you eat and I look up".

Lu Tian and the other three members of the basketball team entered the classroom on the sound of the afternoon self-study bell, and were called out by Liu Haizhou, who had been patrolling the classroom as early as early, for a training session. cliche.

After Liu Haizhou walked away with his hands behind his back, Lu Tian poked his head over and whispered, "Hey, there is your name on the small blackboard outside, so you don't want to go out to eat with us, or you'll bring it back now."

Jiang Xingli only worked hard all morning, and went to the security office to get it during the break between classes in the afternoon. Sure enough, it was the reply letter submitted by Fu Chengfeng. The result of the rematch was much earlier than the preliminary round. Jiang Xing also knew that if he didn't win the award, there would be no reply, so a little pride appeared on his mouth before the envelope was opened, and the depression of the morning finally dissipated.

"Student Fu Chengfeng: Congratulations on being shortlisted for the final stage of the 'Yangfan Cup' writing competition..." Jiang Xing read the long congratulatory speech and words of encouragement word by word. The three numbers "150" tightly pursed his lips, and the hand holding the notice dropped to his side. His eyes drooped slightly, his head tilted slightly, his shoulders drooped for a moment, and he walked towards the classroom. go.

The bright sunlight fell on him over the five-story teaching building, but it made him look even more gray.

He felt that he could barely move his legs. When walking through the underground garage to the classroom, he stared at a trash can next to the garage for a while, then took two steps forward and sat down on the steps. .

In the corner of the dark and cold steps, some small weeds grew. With one arm resting on his knees, he grabbed the grass leaves one by one with the other hand and threw them into the trash can. Twenty centimeters in length, it dangled in the air for a while before falling to the ground.

Looking at the unsatisfactory weeds, Jiang Xing seemed to see himself on the basketball court throwing empty shots, and suddenly felt his nose sore, scolded, stepped forward to pick up the leaves and threw them into the trash can again.

No hits, no grades, no hard work, no brains, and deserved to be cheated.

"Why can't you still charge 60? You have increased the price too fast, and I can't even fool you. If you still charge 60, then I don't know anything." He smashed the red notice He drove again, drove again and again, his head was not bright but he was not a fool, he could not believe it when he was reminded at first, and he might not have been careful when he was cheated later, but at this time he knew something was wrong no matter how careful he was.Being scolded for poor grades, Fu Chengfeng was angry, and was cheated for submitting a manuscript.

"Jiang Xing? Why are you sitting here? Aren't you on duty today...Eh? What are you contributing to?" The visitor poked his head curiously and suddenly smiled, "Huh? These are all It's a lie, it's still a rematch, you won't really give it money, will you?"

Jiang Xing turned his head away and didn't look at him, and he pulled weeds with more vigor. There are smart people in the whole world, but he is the only one who is stupid.

"Hurry up and stop staying here. I didn't see you just now. God Fu is helping you with all your work..."

Jiang Xing was stunned, then slowly stood up with his head down, turned around and saw Fu Chengfeng standing upright five or six steps away, looking at him with gentle eyes.

Both of them stood still, and the people next to them saw the strange atmosphere, so they hurriedly left.

Jiang Xing avoided Fu Chengfeng's gaze, looked at the wall beside him, and muttered in embarrassment: "You all know, I'm the only one who is stupid."

Fu Chengfeng was silent for a while and said, "You'll only know if you've been cheated."

Jiang Xing raised his head in doubt, "Have you been deceived before?"

"……Um."

Jiang Xing didn't say a word, as if he believed it, but he was still ashamed. Fu Chengfeng kicked a stone down the steps. Seeing Jiang Xing's frowning and unable to lift his eyes, he thought for a while and said, "Today Go out to eat at noon, and then go to a movie after eating, don't you always want to watch "Spring Thunder"?"

Jiang Xing tormented the stone under his feet for a while, then kicked the stone away with a thud, and hit the trash can, "Let's go back and eat, I don't want to watch movies that much. I have to cook dinner for my uncle when I go back tonight!" Although there is a subsidy, there are still a lot of unavoidable expenses in the new semester. With more people and more mouths, life is still tight, and Jiang Xing now feels that if he and When Fu Chengfeng is together, it's the same wherever he goes to eat. Looking at this person, no matter what kind of food he eats, he feels particularly delicious.

"...The essay you asked me to write, Mr. Wang thought it was good after reading it, and gave it to me to contribute to the magazine." Fu Chengfeng paused, looking at Jiang Xing Jiang Xing's slightly bright eyes, He continued, "There is a 300 yuan manuscript fee, and I want to go out for a meal to celebrate."

Jiang Xing's eyes lit up completely, "Really?"

"Ah."

"When did it happen, why did you tell me!"

"...The result I only found out in two days."

Jiang Xing was instantly excited. Although he was stupid, the article he asked Fu Chengfeng to write did not come to this world in vain. He strode up the steps, "Then I really want to celebrate! Where's the sample? Hurry up." Show me."

"...I don't want a sample issue because I think it's troublesome."

"Why didn't you ask for it? These are all to be kept as souvenirs. When I was young, I wrote poems and submitted manuscripts. I waited impatiently for someone to send me samples, but I never heard back." The haze of the book was swept away, and all the sad and depressed things were forgotten. His eyes were full of joy and pride because of the young man in front of him. "What kind of magazine is that? I'll go buy a copy."

"...It's...the magazines in Beijing, we don't publish them in Wucheng." Fu Chengfeng looked away uncomfortably.

Jiang Xing grinned, "That's just right, Brother A Li is in Beijing, I asked him to bring me a copy."

"..." Fu Chengfeng turned around silently and left.

Jiang Xing kneaded the thin notice into a ball again, turned around, and threw it into the trash can, with a soft crash sound, the hit was correct.He ran and jumped to Fu Chengfeng's side happily, and after a few seconds of stealth, he suddenly seemed to remember something, and bumped Fu Chengfeng with his shoulder, "You are not angry..."

Fu Chengfeng shook his head, "What about you?"

"Me? What am I?"

"..." Fu Chengfeng breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and was about to speak when Jiang Xing said, "Hey, I really haven't studied hard recently, but I will change it..."
