BE Crazy Demon Survival System

Chapter 74 It's Better to Start Over From Scratch

The self-introduction session ended in a joking atmosphere, and the students who were unfamiliar and awkward at first quickly became acquainted.

Standing on the podium, Zhang Zhengxin turned his head to look at the clock on the wall, "The boys in our class will go with me to the textbook department to move the textbooks for the first volume of senior one." He glanced at the boy by the window with his head bowed, "Xu Qichen is No need to go."

Xu Qichen didn't respond either, and kept his head down, staring at the graffiti left by the previous class of students on the table.

Xia Zhixu looked at his back from behind, hesitated to speak, but was preempted by Chen Fang who was sitting in the second group, "Zhixu! Let's go!"

"Oh," Xia Zhixu stood up, "Okay."

The female tablemate next to him got up and made room for him, Xia Zhixu smiled and said thank you, and walked out.

Chen Fang stood at the door and waited for Xia Zhixu, and when he saw him coming out, he hooked his shoulders, "You boy is showing off again."

"No, I just saw where others said my name came from, so I mentioned it by the way."

The two followed the team to the textbook section, and one of them moved a large stack of books. Chen Fang laughed and teased, "I see, this time the class is contracted by you again."

"You don't come here." Xia Zhixu rolled his eyes at him, "I think most of the boys in our class are pretty handsome." Little Huya showed his malicious intentions, "Except you hahaha."

Chen Fang was unconvinced, "Then tell me, who is handsome?"

Xia Zhixu picked up a few names casually, and finally added nonchalantly, "Also...my front seat is pretty good too."

"Xu Qichen." Chen Fang curled his lips, "It's too white, whiter than most of the girls in our class."

Xia Zhixu immediately retorted, "What's wrong with Bai, it would be nice to be as black as you and shine? I'll be a light bulb for the rest of my life."

"Hey, let me tell you what's going on with you kid! You need to clean up!"

The two of them went back to the classroom, fighting and fighting. Xia Zhixu put the book on the desk, turned around and wanted to go back to carry it, but was stopped by the boy behind, "No need, the teacher said there are no more."

Xia Zhixu nodded, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Qichen who was looking out the window.The light cut his side face into light and dark sides, with a cold expression hanging weakly in the middle.

The female tablemates of the two of them became friends during this short period of moving books, and the two met to go to the bathroom. Xia Zhixu patted the ashes on his hands, thinking that he should go to the bathroom to wash his hands just now.

There were only the two of them left in the seats, and it was a good opportunity to say hello.

Xia Zhixu sat down on the seat, originally wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but when he almost touched him, he took it back, glanced at his hand, and finally only lightly touched his back with the back of his hand.

Xu Qichen's body moved, his face that was originally looking out of the window turned sideways, and looked at Xia Zhixu behind him, his expression remained unchanged, his amber pupils met Xia Zhixu's eyes.

"You still remember me." Xia Zhixu said with a smile, "This morning on the bus... and at the school gate, you asked me for candy... remember?"

The expectation on his expression was too obvious.

Xu Qichen nodded.

Little Huya showed his teeth happily, "Actually, I bought that candy for you, but I didn't see you when I came back, so I ate it myself." He smiled a little embarrassedly.

"fine."

I don't know why, when talking to him, Xia Zhixu always subconsciously be careful, as if this person has a label of [fragile] on his face.

"Well... what's wrong with you this morning, why did you suddenly look so bad?"

Xu Qichen's lips parted, and his voice didn't fluctuate, "I have hereditary hypoglycemia. I was in a hurry this morning and didn't eat."

It was rare for him to talk so much, Xia Zhixu was a little happy, but soon began to feel distressed again.

Hereditary hypoglycemia, it should be very uncomfortable.

"Then what happened to you..."

"An aunt from a breakfast shop helped me to rest."

"Oh……"

There were still doubts in his heart, especially his injuries, but Xia Zhixu was afraid that he would accidentally step on the opponent's minefield and destroy the little connection he had finally established, so he didn't continue to ask, just smiled Said, "We are so destined, let's make friends."

Xu Qichen's eyes flickered, perhaps hesitating.

With the smiling face in Xia Zhixu's heart, the two corners of his mouth gradually drooped with his hesitation.

After a while, Xu Qichen suddenly nodded again.

With a ding, the smiling face recovered and became even brighter.

[friend]

These two words seem to be the most common and ordinary classification in interpersonal communication, and there is a subtle sense of distance in the intimacy.

It would be great if I really have the ability to see foretelling.

If I knew I would love you.

At the beginning, we would not use the word "friend" to delineate the scope of our relationship and set a bottom line distance.

There was no class schedule on the first day. After distributing the textbooks, the class teacher Zhang Zhengxin organized the election of the class committee. The atmosphere in the class was lively, except for the boys in the front seat, who always seemed to be in harmony with each other, and were out of tune with this freshman's class.

The bored Xia Zhixu kept staring at his back until his name was called.

"Xia Zhixu, you will be the representative of the mathematics class." Zhang Zhengxin flipped through the roster, and looked up at Xia Zhixu who was ignorant, "I will leave the important subject of mathematics to you."

"why?"

All the students in the class laughed, and Zhang Zhengxin deliberately put on a stern attitude, "It seems that you really didn't listen to me just now. As I said, the position of class representative is quite special. Based on your grades, your math grades are the best in the class, so you will be the math class representative."

Xia Zhixu nodded in embarrassment.

"Then let's give Xia Zhixu a round of applause."

Everyone's applause made him even more embarrassed, he stood up and bowed slightly, "Thank you, thank you."

In fact, he doesn't want to be a class representative. This kind of position is just responsible for sending and receiving homework every day, and communicating with the teacher. In his opinion, it is very boring, but when it comes to this, he has to bite the bullet and take it. an errand.

"Okay, let's take a look at Chinese..." Zhang Zhengxin pushed his glasses, "Xu Qichen has the highest score in Chinese in our class. It's so rare that it's a male student."

Xia Zhixu subconsciously looked at the boy in the front seat, his back shook slightly when his name was called, as if he was frightened.

Zhang Zhengxin carefully looked at the scores at the back of the roster, "Student Xu Qichen got 112 in the Chinese test, a very high score."

The students below began to whisper that for a Chinese with a full score of 120, it is difficult to achieve a score above 110. After all, the scores of subjective questions in Chinese are uncontrollable. A little bit of hope on 110.

Zhang Zhengxin didn't put on airs like a teacher at all, and looked at him, "Student Xu Qichen, you will be my right-hand man from now on."

Xu Qichen did not respond to the teacher's words like Xia Zhixu did, and kept silent, and the atmosphere became a little awkward.

At this moment, a few lonely applause suddenly appeared in the quiet classroom.

All eyes were on Xia Zhixu who was applauding.

Xia Zhixu shrugged and said with a smile, "Shouldn't we applaud the representatives of the Chinese class?"

His voice had a natural appeal, and the students who originally thought Xu Qichen was a bit strange also applauded along with Xia Zhixu.

After the applause gradually diminished and disappeared, Xia Zhixu heard a very soft voice.

"……thanks."

Rubbing his red palms from clapping too hard, the corners of Xia Zhixu's mouth couldn't help but rise.

Seems all too easy to please.

With 2 minutes left before get out of class ends, Zhang Zhengxin cleared his throat, "Today at three o'clock in the afternoon, the school will hold an opening ceremony for freshmen in the auditorium, and there will be a military training mobilization meeting tomorrow..."

"I really need military training..."

"No!"

Zhang Zhengxin patted the desk, "I haven't finished yet, everyone arrives in the classroom before 45:[-], we will go there together after counting the number of people, remember?"

"remember--"

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the students in the classroom came alive and cheered one by one. Zhang Zhengxin shook his head, and called to the fourth group by the window, "Xia Zhixu, come out with me."

Xia Zhixu stood up without knowing why, he had been thinking about going home just now.

In the morning, Xu Qichen and him came by the same bus, so they should be able to go home together by the way.

As soon as he heard the bell for the end of get out of class, Xia Zhixu, who was about to invite Xu Qichen to go home with him, was stopped by the head teacher, and he had no choice but to give up all the thoughts in his mind.

Pity.

"It's like this." Zhang Zhengxin took him to the corridor outside the classroom, "Tomorrow's military training mobilization meeting will have a speech session for freshmen representatives. It will be arranged after the principal's mobilization. Our class is also one of the representative classes. You are our class." No.1 in the class entrance examination, and you are more outgoing, I think you are a more suitable candidate."

Xia Zhixu didn't speak, but cast his eyes, seeing Xu Qichen walking out of the classroom with his head down, he immediately turned down the corner of the stairs with a heart.

"Then prepare your speech after you go back."

Xia Zhixu looked at Zhang Zhengxin and hesitated, "Teacher, I...my manuscript is very ordinary, can I use Baidu?"

Zhang Zhengxin couldn't help laughing, "On such an important occasion, it's better to be original, otherwise, if you bump into someone else, it will be so embarrassing."

"That's right..." Xia Zhi Xu nodded absent-mindedly, counting his steps silently in his heart, reckoning that Xu Qichen should have gone down to the second floor by now.

"If you are really worried that your manuscript is not good enough, you can ask our Chinese class representative to polish it for you." Zhang Zhengxin patted him on the shoulder, "His high school entrance examination composition is full marks."

Xia Zhixu's eyes lit up immediately.

That's a good idea.

"Thank you teacher! I will work hard!" Xia Zhixu left the corridor full of energy, ran downstairs, and saw Chen Fang waiting for him at the corner of the stairs.

"Hey, what did the head teacher ask you for?"

Xia Zhixu responded in a panic, "I won't tell you about the freshmen's speech, I have to catch the bus!" After speaking, he quickly slipped downstairs.

"Hey! What's the hurry! The bus leaves every 10 minutes..."

The sound of the wind blew past his ears, and Xia Zhixu finally ran out from the winding stairs, and all of a sudden his broad vision was filled with people wearing the same clothes, which was really a test for him.

Squinting and looking around.

On the tree-lined road full of plane trees, I saw the thin figure with one arm suspended by white gauze.

Through the crowded and flowing crowd, Xia Zhixu hurriedly ran behind him, stopped after two or three steps away, and tried hard to calm his fast breathing until he could pretend to be unhurried and happened to meet him. look.

"Xu Qichen."

The person who was called didn't look back, as if he was still immersed in his own world.

Xia Zhixu didn't feel discouraged either. He stepped forward, stood beside him, and looked at him sideways, "Are you going home by bus at noon?"

Xu Qichen turned his face sideways, glanced at him, and then nodded.

"We seem to be on the way, let's go together."

Adding the word [like] seems to be able to cover up one's deliberate actions.

When Xu Qichen walked, his steps were very slow, his legs were not injured, it seemed that he was habitually slow.But Xia Zhixu didn't, he was always full of energy and walked with wind, so at this moment, he glanced at Xu Qichen's legs intentionally or unintentionally, and adjusted the frequency of his steps.

In order to make myself look more like a tacit friend.

"Does your family live near the bus station?" Xia Zhixu tried to stir up the topic.

But he soon discovered that his speaking skills still needed to be improved.Questions that can be answered directly with [yes] or [no] should not be asked.

Especially when dealing with a man of few words.

"Ah."

Sure enough.Xia Zhixu sighed slightly, but soon returned to a cheerful smile, "Me too, my house is in the neighborhood opposite the bus station, we shouldn't be in the same neighborhood."

"No."

Mistake, Mistake.

Xia Zhixu looked down at a fallen, green and yellow sycamore leaf.

"My house is on the same side as the bus station, but it's a corner."

Hearing his soft tone, Xia Zhixu seemed to be a withered plant that had been watered suddenly, regaining its vitality in an instant.

"Really? That's very close." The two walked out of the school gate side by side without knowing it. The gray bus stop sign was right next to the school gate, and there was already a huge crowd of students waiting there.

The two walked to the bus stop, Xia Zhixu looked at Xu Qichen's injured hand, and subconsciously stood in front of him to help him keep away from the people in front of him.

Behind Xu Qichen was the billboard of the bus station, and in front was Xia Zhixu.

The crowded bus station was divided into a cramped and safe space by his slender body.

"729 is here." Xia Zhixu turned his head, "Shall we get on this one?"

Xu Qichen looked at the carriage, it wasn't particularly crowded, "Anything is fine."

Xia Zhixu hummed, took out his student card from the side of his backpack, rushed to the front, and turned his head, "Don't worry, don't squeeze your arms."

What a weirdo.Xu Qichen looked at his tall back, and stood silently at the tail of the crowd waiting for the bus.The people in front got into the carriage one by one, and Xu Qichen finally got into the carriage. The carriage was full, and there were several students who were standing.

"Xu Qichen, come here!"

Hearing that person's voice suddenly, Xu Qichen hesitantly supported the seat and walked in, only to find that several people standing were blocking Xia Zhixu.

Xia Zhixu smiled brightly. Seeing Xu Qichen approaching, he immediately got up from his seat, "Sit down."

Xu Qichen who was "give up his seat" looked at Xia Zhixu's crooked eyebrows, and the other party looked expectant, so he had no choice but to sit down.

This is a single orange love seat, and Xia Zhixu, who has no seat, is standing beside him, with one hand grabbing the back of Xu Qichen's seat, and the other grabbing the front seat, unconsciously enclosing him in it.

"It's good luck, I found a seat as soon as I came up."

Xu Qichen didn't speak, turned his face away, and looked out the window silently.

The not-so-clean glass windows reflected unclear figures, including his own profile, and an enthusiastic classmate in a white shirt behind him.

On the eve of the start of school, Xia Zhixu deliberately checked the route to Jingjian High School.

The bus can go directly, with eight stops on the way.

It feels a little far away.

It seems that there is always a discrepancy between imagination and reality. When hearing the station announcement, Xia Zhixu who stood stupidly all the way was stunned.

so fast?

Home so soon.

Time is such a clever liar.

Xu Qichen stood up from his seat, Xia Zhixu also came back to his senses, and the two got out of the car one after the other.Walk along the bus station for a while until you reach the intersection, Xia Zhixu is going to the opposite side of the road, and Xu Qichen is going to turn left to go home.

"I heard that you got a full score in the composition of the senior high school entrance examination. It's so amazing, I can't even think about it."

Xia Zhixu's tone was easily distinguishable sincerity, and Xu Qichen could only answer modestly, "It's just luck."

"Just now, Teacher Zhang told me to speak on behalf of the freshmen, but I'm not very good at writing manuscripts, and my language skills are very poor. You..." Xia Zhixu stopped while talking, "You don't Can you help me?"

Xu Qichen also stopped, and turned his head to look at Xia Zhixu who had a worried expression.

He doesn't want to help.

In other words, he didn't want to associate with anyone.

But when he saw the person in front of him and his black and white pupils, he didn't know why, so he agreed so mysteriously.

"Okay." Xu Qichen lowered his eyes, "But my skills are limited."

"It's okay! Thank you!" Xia Zhixu smiled so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes, the small canine teeth on his lips popped out again, shaking Xu Qichen's eyes in the sunlight.

This person is a bit too dazzling.

"……I'm leaving."

After returning home, Xia Zhixu finished his meal as quickly as possible. Before Xia's mother, who had been waiting all morning, asked her son about the new school, he slipped into his bedroom, opened the curtains, and sat at the desk He took out a blank notebook and began to think about the idea of ​​the speech.

Mother Xia knocked on the door with the cut fruit, but there was no sound from inside, so she knocked again, and then she heard her son answer, and pushed the door open, "Eat some fruit, what are you doing?"

Xia Zhixu didn't raise his head, "The teacher chose me as the freshman representative. I'm going to speak at the military training mobilization meeting tomorrow. I'm preparing to write a speech."

"Really?" Xia's mother touched Xia Zhixu's head and put the plate on the table, "As expected of my son." After speaking, she put her arms around Xia Zhixu's shoulders again, "No, you used to I have also been a student representative, why are you so serious this time, and you even write your own manuscript?"

Xia Zhixu gave his mother a push, "I'm already in high school and I can't improve a bit, it's alright, mom, go out."

"Okay, okay, don't bother our family's freshman representative, the star of tomorrow~"

Mom was right, she had never been so serious before.

Thinking about the wording that suits the scene before writing, using all kinds of redundant rhetorical techniques, racking his brains to find a suitable word, all these made Xia Zhixu who has no interest in Chinese feel like a waste of time.

but.

Xia Zhixu frowned, and bit the end of his pen with his teeth.

I don't want him to feel that his level is low, and I don't want to be looked down upon by new friends.

This is an excuse that can barely hide his inner tension.

Just because of such a speech, Xia Zhixu stayed up all afternoon, just put down his pen, and when he looked up, he realized that it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

Xia's mother, who was sitting in front of the TV and watching Korean dramas, saw her youngest son rushing out of the bedroom, so she knew he was going to be late again.

"Go slowly, don't worry."

Panting and running to the bus station, he didn't see the figure he expected to see.

They obviously didn't make an appointment to go to school together in the afternoon, isn't it normal not to see anyone?With such a long break at noon, how could he be waiting for the same bus as himself?

Xia Zhixu pinched the notebook in his hand, watched the green bus coming, he turned his neck, still didn't see anyone else, swiped his card and got on the bus by himself.

Maybe the car was driving slowly, or maybe it took a long time to stop at each stop.

Xia Zhixu, holding his notebook tightly, realized that the road from home to school was really quite long.

Time is a brilliant liar.
