hope for redemption

"Jingle Bell--"

When the get out of class bell rang, the students in the class rushed out of the classroom like cheetahs following the geography teacher's sentence to end class.

Within 30 seconds, only a few people left in the classroom, and then Jiang Xi felt the sound of "rumbling" footsteps coming from all directions, and the whole floor trembled.

Jiang Xi had a new understanding of the enthusiasm of the students in No. [-] Middle School for eating.

Jiang Xi was sitting calmly on the seat waiting for Lin Wang to find him for dinner, but seeing this posture, Jiang Xi couldn't help feeling a little fear that he might not be able to eat, and suddenly felt a little restless, but But nothing showed on his face.

Pretending to be calm, he tidied up his books, got up and walked towards Lin Wang.

Lin Wang was bowing his body and buried his head on the desk, not knowing what he was doing.

"Lin Wang?" Jiang Xi shouted as he walked over and patted his shoulder behind him.

"Ah?" Lin Wang reflexively turned sideways and straightened his body, looked up with vigilance in his eyes, he was relieved when he saw Jiang Xi, and said with a smile: "Eat?"

Jiang Xi looked at the shadow of the mobile phone that flashed by the corner when Lin Wang got up just now, and immediately understood what Lin Wang was doing just now, and said nothing, humming to indicate that he was going to eat.

"Zhuang Zhuang, Da Fei, eat!" Lin Wang stood up and shouted to Zhuang Zhuang and Da Fei who were napping.

"Hey, brother, here we come." Zhuang Zhuang wiped his saliva and said, "Hurry up, Dafei!"

"Huh? Jiang Xi, are you there too?" Zhuang Zhuang stood in front of Jiang Xi, opened his eyes after a long time, and saw a trace of doubt flashing in Jiang Xi's eyes.

"Jiang Xi also eats in the teacher's cafeteria." Lin Wang stretched his waist and said, "Damn it, my back hurts from sitting every day."

"Oh, then we can have dinner together in the future!" Zhuang Zhuang was obviously very happy that Jiang Xi could go with them.

At this time, Da Fei walked over with his pockets in his pockets, and didn't express any opinion when he heard this, and said with a blank face: "Let's go, it's been 3 minutes."

"Ah! It's been 3 minutes!" Zhuang Zhuang immediately jumped up and took Da Fei's hand and ran out of the classroom. He turned to Lin Wang and said, "Brother! Hurry up!"

"Are you ready?" Lin Wang suddenly turned his head and asked Jiang Xi.

"What?" Jiang Xi was stunned by this nonsensical question. Before he could react, his arm was pulled by Lin Wang, and his whole body suddenly leaned forward, and he was led by Lin Wang. ran up.

The scorching wind whizzes past the ears, the tip of the nose is gently kissed by crystal sweat beads, and the corners of the boy's clothes are flying in front of his eyes.

The warmth from the wrist is reassuring.

Jiang Xi could feel his heart beating violently and his veins constricting forcefully.

"Welcome to join the food grabbing army."

Lin Wang broke into Jiang Xi's ears with a smiling voice piercing through the wind.

"I'm going, bro, you guys are running too fast!" Zhuang Zhuang complained as he sat opposite Jiang Xi panting while holding the dinner plate.

Thinking of the running just now, Jiang Xi felt flustered.

The tentacles of the dragonfly lightly tapped the originally peaceful Heart Lake, and the dragonfly flew away, but the ripples it caused were still rippling round after round, extending outward continuously.

Jiang Xi lowered his head to eat in a concealed manner, without saying a word.

"It's because you have short legs." Da Fei said while sitting opposite Lin Wang with a plate in his hand.

"Fuck!" Zhuang Zhuang stuffed a mouthful of meat, pointed at Da Fei with his chopsticks and pretended to shake his hands, and said sadly: "Da Fei, the boat of our friendship will capsize! I'm so sad !"

"Your saliva sprayed into my meal." Da Fei moved the plate away in disgust and said.

"This is your retribution for slandering me!" Zhuang Zhuang said proudly after taking a bite of his meal.

"Hurry up and eat, don't be late again." Lin Wang said.

Jiang Xi settled down, raised his head slightly, and continued eating as if nothing happened.

The food in the specialty canteen is quite delicious and there are many types.

The food is not particularly greasy, which Jiang Xi is very satisfied with.

"Hey, Jiang Xi, what did the squad leader want from you just now?" Zhuang Zhuang gulped down a mouthful of rice and asked inarticulately.

Jiang Xi swallowed the potato shreds in his mouth and said: "For the sports meeting, let me sign up and dance."

"This is the first guess, how many projects have you applied for?" Zhuang Zhuang asked with his mouth curled.

"One, high jump." Jiang Xi picked out the peppers from the plate.

"Are you the lead dancer or the backup dancer?" Lin Wang suddenly interjected from the side.

"The literary and art committee asked me to do the main dance." Jiang Xi continued to pick up the peppers on the plate and replied without lifting his head.

"That's a good relationship! Then we can watch it up close!" Zhuang Zhuang said excitedly, waving his chopsticks.

Jiang Xi stopped what he was doing, raised his head and asked doubtfully, "You don't need to jump?"

"No need, we are the flag raisers, just raise the national flag." Zhuang Zhuang explained: "We will sit in the middle of the lawn and watch your performance."

Jiang Xi's eyes lit up immediately when he heard such a good thing, and he leaned forward a little|He asked eagerly: "Are you still short of flag raisers?"

"Heh," Lin Wang sneered suddenly from the side: "The height of the flag-raiser must be above 185."

Jiang 179 Xipi slowly turned his head to Lin Wang with a smile and said softly, "Please shut up mellowly."

"Hahahaha, it doesn't matter, Jiang Xi, dancing is pretty good too." Zhuang Zhuang smiled at the side to smooth things over.

Suddenly Jiang Xi's elbow was bumped, and the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground. Jiang Xi was about to turn his head to pick it up, but he didn't expect that there was a hand that was faster than him.

Jiang Xi turned her head to look, she was a girl with bangs and slightly curly hair.

"Oh, I'm sorry, classmate, I'll go and get you another pair of chopsticks." The girl sat up straight, handed the chopsticks to Jiang Xi with a smile on her face and said.

Jiang Xi understood this little trick all of a sudden, and felt a little amused in his heart, but his face was still cold, and he took the chopsticks from the girl's hand and said, "Thank you, but there's no need, I've already eaten."

After finishing speaking, he turned to Lin Wang and the others and said, "I'm full, so I'll leave first."

"I'm full too, let's go together." Lin Wang also put down his chopsticks, stood up with the plate in his hand and said, "You don't know where the plate is, so I'll take you there."

Jiang Xi said hello and left with Lin Wang, regardless of the expressions of the people behind him.

There are two white plastic boxes and one crimson plastic barrel at the entrance of the special canteen.There are crimson plastic buckets for emptying unfinished meals for the students, and two white plastic bins, one for chopsticks and the other for dinner plates.

Jiang Xi followed Lin Wang, put away the tableware by category, and went under the faucet to wash his hands.

"Zeng Keying is not a good bird, just ignore her." Lin Wang said while washing his hands.

Jiang Xi looked at the water flowing down from his joints slowly, like a perfect work of art, and was a little stunned for a while, but suddenly heard Lin Wang's voice, he couldn't react for a while, and asked blankly: " Who is Zeng Keying?"

"Tsk," Lin Wang turned off the faucet and shook the water from his hand: "The one who deliberately knocked off your chopsticks just now."

Jiang Xi pondered in his mind for a while, only remembering such an event and such a person, but he didn't seem to have any impression at all.It must have happened just a few minutes ago.

"Did you hear that? Her ex-boyfriend can't count on ten fingers, so don't jump in foolishly." Lin Wang stretched out his hand and shook it in front of his eyes.

His thoughts were pulled back at once, Jiang Xi blinked, turned off the faucet, wiped the school uniform twice casually and said, oh, then turned and left.

"What are you going to do after lunch?" Jiang Xi changed positions and walked into the shadow under the tree.

The autumn sunlight in Linxian County is still vicious, and it feels like peeling off a layer of skin after just a few exposures.Jiang Xi's little arms were burning hot from the sun, and he quickly hid under the shade of a tree.

Lin Wang looked like he was not afraid of the sun, he was not afraid of the sun, and walked on the school road swaggeringly with the sun on his head.

“12点50之前都是自由学习时间，12点50到1点50是午休时间。”林望说。

"Lunch break?" Jiang Xi was a little puzzled. When he was in Noah's Ark, he was from morning to night, and there was no other time for rest except for a 5-minute break, so he didn't have the habit of taking a lunch break: "Where is the lunch break?" ?”

When Lin Wang heard Jiang Xi's question, he subconsciously looked at him in shock, but then he understood again, licked the dry corner of his mouth and said, "Lunch break in the classroom, sleep on the table."

"Oh," Jiang Xi nodded thoughtfully, "How do you go back at night?"

"Riding a bicycle," Lin Wang said, "How about you?"

"Same as you." Jiang Xi said.

"Okay, let's go together that night?" Lin Wang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"I'm going to buy an exercise book tonight," Jiang Xi paused: "Would you like to come together? Give me some advice?"

"Ah," Lin Wang thought about his grades at the bottom of his age, and wanted to refuse, but he swallowed the words again, and the words twirled several times at the corner of his mouth. After a while, he said, "Okay."

When they entered the classroom together, they found that the classroom was already full of two-thirds of the students, and the classroom was surprisingly quiet, except for the whistling wind from the ceiling fan and the crackling sound of the pen nib scraping the pages of the book.

Jiang Xi looked up at the wall clock on the wall, and found that only 15 minutes had passed.

This scene of racing against time seems to have returned to Noah's Ark, which makes people nervous but passionate.

Jiang Xi poured a glass of water and hurried to his seat to find the textbook from the bookcase and start reviewing.

For Jiang Xi, the most urgent task is to go through all the knowledge in the textbook first, and make up all the notes.

When the history notes were half filled, Lao Zhang, who was sitting on the podium, suddenly said: "Let me read today's bulletin. Our class did not deduct points yesterday, but we also need to pay attention to the points deducted by other classes. Class 13 3-1 Snacks during class...."

Jiang Xi didn't know what this bulletin was for, and thought that Lao Zhang was talking about something important, so he put down his pen, raised his head, and listened carefully to his reading.

It’s nothing more than a certain student in that class deducting points for eating snacks in class, and a certain student in this class deducting points for smoking in the toilet, etc. Jiang Xi doesn’t understand what Lao Zhang is doing when he reads these things. While commenting, it was like those gossiping women in the village.

The more Jiang Xi listened, the more distracted he became, but on the surface he still listened carefully.

Suddenly, there was a chuckle from the left, not very loud but Jiang Xi caught it very sharply.Thinking there was something funny, Jiang Xi turned to follow the voice in order to pass the time, passed the boy next to him who was lowering his head and brushing the question, and saw Lin Wang leaning against the wall and smiling at himself.

Jiang Xi frowned suspiciously, wondering if there was something on his face, and reached out to touch it, but found nothing unusual.

Suddenly, a ball of paper flew in front of his eyes, and Jiang Xi pressed it under his hands quickly, but he was shocked in his heart, but as if nothing had happened, he turned his head slowly and looked at Lin.

Lin Wang didn't even look at him, his eyes were fixed on Lao Zhang who was speaking on the podium, but his hands made an open gesture under the desk.

Jiang Xi sat up straight, and took the ball of paper from the desk to the bottom of the table with lightning speed. His eyes were shining with seriousness, and he listened to Lao Zhang's speech like a good student. There is a small note under the desk.

After unfolding the small note, he placed it on the table at lightning speed, covered the note with his elbows, and lowered his head to read the content on the note.

Lin Wang's handwriting is just like his person, vigorous and elegant.

——Children, don't listen to Lao Zhang's nonsense so seriously.

Jiang Xi raised his head to look at Lin Wang, Lin Wang turned his head to look at him, and then made a gesture to invite the whole class.

Jiang Xi looked around and found that all the students in the class were either lowering their heads to study the questions, memorizing, or sleeping on the table. No one really listened to the nonsense that Lao Zhang said on the podium.Jiang Xi twitched his lips helplessly, and was about to return the note to Lin Wang when he turned around and found that he had already fallen asleep lying on the table with his arms under his head.

Flatten the note, fold it in half, and throw it into the trash bag hung by the desk next to the classmate.Then he lowered his head and continued to make up the unfinished notes.

"So, if the students in our class make the same mistake next time, I will never be merciful!" Lao Zhang spoke passionately on the podium, spitting straight: "Oh! It's 50, okay, Let's start lunch break."

These words were like pressing the pause button. All the students in the class put down their pens, closed their books, and started preparing for their lunch break.

Jiang Xi finished the last bit of historical notes, closed the pen cap, rubbed the center of his brows, and lay down on the table to get ready for sleep.

Apart from the whistling wind from the ceiling fan, there were no other sounds in the classroom, because Jiang Xi, who was not used to taking a nap, couldn't fall asleep for a while.

Jiang Xi began to let go of his thoughts, thinking about things aimlessly.

I have already taken politics, history and geography in the morning, that is to say, I have already taken all the subjects of Wenzong. To be honest, the progress here is really slow. I have already finished the content here about a year and a half ago , but because this is a private lesson arranged by An Sheng for himself, there is no level test in Noah's Ark. I still have to buy a few sets of practice questions to test my level, and then grasp the Hunan province according to the monthly test. question type.

For practice questions, a chapter analysis book, a set of unit comprehensive papers, and a set of knowledge comprehensive papers are almost enough.Oh, yes, I have to borrow notes to make up for the previous notes.I have to go online to buy textbooks for the first year of high school, and I have to make up the notes for the first year of high school.also...

Thinking about it, Jiang Xi slowly fell asleep.

It wasn't until after the afternoon nap started that Jiang Xi began to regain consciousness in a daze, but the whole person was still lying on the table motionless.The arm has been numb from the pillow, and when you move your fingers a little, a tingling sensation rushes along the texture like sea waves one after another.

Jiang Xi raised his head gently, quickly withdrew his hands, and let the blood flow slowly by himself.But his head was still on the desk, eyes closed to adjust to the light.

In the classroom, footsteps came from the corridor. Class 25 was close to the toilet, and the footsteps from the entire second floor gathered here.

Jiang Xi slowly raised his head and opened his eyes.At this time, the electronic blackboard had been opened, and the art committee member stood in front of the blackboard and opened the QQ Music interface, picking up a playlist.

I don't know what this is for. The other people in the classroom are obviously familiar with this scene, and they are all doing their own things.Jiang Xi took out a water glass from the desk and took a sip of water, waiting quietly.

It didn't take long for the electronic blackboard to sing, it was a Chinese song that Jiang Xi had never heard before.In fact, Jiang Xi may not have heard any of the popular and popular songs in the Chinese music scene these days, and Jiang Xi's playlist is basically all English songs.

"Okay! Everyone stand up and sing along." The art committee slapped the table on the podium and shouted.

Afterwards, the students in the classroom stood up scatteredly, but no one sang.

"Everyone sing!" The squad leader shouted again.

At this time, some people began to sing along, and the voice was not as loud as the original singer played on the electronic blackboard.

The whole teaching building was filled with all kinds of singing voices. Jiang Xi also heard a Korean song being sung by the class next door, and there was a faint screaming female voice.

"People from the Ministry of Supervision are here! Hurry up and sing loudly!" The literary and art committee member hurriedly withdrew his intelligence-seeking head from the front door, closed the door and turned around and shouted.

In an instant, everyone in the class began to sing with enthusiasm as if they had opened their voices.

Even if Jiang Xi doesn't listen to Chinese songs very much, he can still tell whether the tune of a song is sad or happy.The literary and art committee obviously chose a sad and lyrical song, but it was sung by the students in the class into a passionate and passionate song.

The person on Jiang Xi's left is singing "We are different! We are not the same!" The person on the right is singing "Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo Huo, Huo Jiaquan's routine moves are flexible!"

Rubbing between his eyebrows, he only hoped that the damn singing session would end soon, as if two gods were fighting in his mind.

Finally the class bell rang, and the magic sound competition was finally over.

The literary and art committee member went to the podium, closed the electronic blackboard, and pulled the blackboard back to its original place.

At this time, a short teacher with gold spectacles walked into the classroom. He put the lesson plan and wooden triangle ruler on the podium, and said with a smile: "Students, wake up!" !"

Looking at the people on the podium, Jiang Xi couldn't help but want to laugh, and he tightly squeezed his mouth to prevent himself from laughing, but he couldn't resist the shock of the scene before him, so he let out a chuckle, and then immediately puffed up his cheeks Trying to hide his smile.

It can't be Jiang Xi's fault, it's because the scene in front of him is too powerful.

The math teacher is a very old but kind-looking teacher, that's right, Jiang Xi couldn't help but see the "Mediterranean" for the first time in real life.No, in fact, if it is only the Mediterranean Sea, Jiang Xi can bear it, but the math teacher is not satisfied with leaving an ordinary Mediterranean Sea. He wants to comb a bunch of hair on the side to the other side, so that it spans the entire Mediterranean Sea. It's an attempt to cover up the bald, shiny scalp in the middle.

"Okay, let's continue with the previous class. We know that f(x)=2sinβ+3cos..." The math teacher started to talk about the topic directly, and Jiang Xi didn't even know which side he was talking about.I glanced at the book of the classmate next to me before turning to the page number.

"So, we can finally come to the conclusion that it is three quarters, three quarters, four points... Ah!" The math teacher put his hands on the podium, closed his eyes and frowned, and moved his head forward little by little. He read the answer as if kowtowing to someone.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that when he read the answer, not only did he have an echo, but the voice became smaller and smaller, and finally Jiang Xi could only see his mouth flipping up and down, Not his voice.

Jiang Xi was dumbfounded after listening to the math teacher's lecture.Reluctantly, he reached out to support his forehead, opened his mouth but found that he couldn't say a word.

In fact, Jiang Xi is very able to adapt to new situations. There are very few situations that make him feel unable to adapt, but sometimes, um, you know, you have to admit that you haven't encountered it yet.

Now it happened to Jiang Xi, and for the first time, Jiang Xi felt helpless in life when facing the math teacher's voice getting smaller and smaller.

"Teacher, what is the answer to the third question?" A girl in the class raised her hand and said.

"One-sixth! One-sixth, one-sixth, sixth...ah!" The math teacher started again.

During the whole two classes of mathematics in the afternoon, Jiang Xi went from being speechless to laughing helplessly and finally to numbness.

Finally, when the bell rang, Jiang Xi felt that she was finally liberated, but her mind was still endlessly looping the answer to the last question given by the math teacher.

"The root number three, the root number three, the root number... ah!"

I'm so drunk!Jiang Xi shook his head and thought, it's better to go to the toilet to wash and calm down.

As soon as Jiang Xi entered the toilet, he heard a man say: "Damn it! You fucking hold it! Don't go to my side...Damn it! Mopping the floor!"

"Hahahaha, why don't you say I'm trying again?!"

Then there was another burst of laughter in the men's room, Jiang Xi knew what happened without even thinking about it, adolescent boys would always make such jokes.

Jiang Xi walked in, seeing the scene in front of him, he was speechless and even had a headache.

Is Lin County No. [-] Middle School already so poor?Why not use something to separate the urinals? !Wouldn't it be nice to have a little brother who accidentally sees someone else's penis while going to the bathroom? !

Jiang Xi was roaring in his heart, but his face was cold and calm.

The boy in the toilet fell silent when he came in, pretended to glance casually and then turned around immediately.

Sights from all directions were projected on him vaguely, and after ignoring them, Jiang Xi decisively decided to wait for the toilet.

At any rate, the squat toilet also has a wooden door to cover it. If the urinal is separated by something like a wooden board, I can use my body to block and cover it, but it does not.

Jiang Xi really couldn't bear the scene of being stared at his little brother.

After going to the toilet quickly, washing his face and hands with water, he quickly returned to the classroom, shaking off the probing eyes that stuck to his body.

As soon as Jiang Xi entered the classroom, the English teacher casually walked in with a loudspeaker and a lesson plan.

Jiang Xi found that the teachers in the No. [-] Middle School, regardless of gender, seemed to like to use amplifiers in class. It seemed that they could not complete a class perfectly without wearing amplifiers.

"Ok, let's open the book, turn to page 35." The English teacher said in fluent American English.

This made Jiang Xi raise his eyebrows in surprise, he really didn't expect to meet such a pure spoken English teacher here.You know, Jiang Xi had already prepared to listen to spoken English with an accent in the next two years before coming here.

This made Jiang Xi instantly interested in English class, and also doubled his affection for this English teacher.

Jiang Xi followed her train of thought and took notes while looking at her with a smile from time to time.

Her pronunciation is perfect, no swallowing, no side sounds.Her falling and rising intonations are also very good, using falling tones to state facts and rising tones to ask questions.

The pure and familiar American voice made Jiang Xi's sense of language come up all at once. All the parts of the brain are ready, and the joints of the body are locked with each other. Just waiting for the master's order, he can start to go to the battlefield and complete a task. A beautiful fight.

Jiang Xi did not read the original English text, but listened to the English teacher read the original text, began to mark some words on the paper, and then quickly translated them into Chinese in his mind.

Jiang Xi turned an English class into an listening and interpreting session.

"Okay, I'll call a classmate to read this passage now." The English teacher stood on the podium and leaned over to look at the seating chart posted on the podium: "Jiang Xi."

Jiang Xi suddenly didn't react when he heard his name. He didn't come back to himself until the whole class looked at him. He stood up, recalled the place he had just translated, picked up the English textbook and looked for the place. , and then read the next paragraph.

Jiang Xi actually knows both American and British accents, but she still prefers American accents.Because my sense of language started with the American drama "Nikita", the heroine Nikita's American accent is still impressive until now.

Jiang Xi finished reading this paragraph calmly, then stopped to look at the English teacher.

"Go on and finish reading." The English teacher put down the book and walked towards Jiang Xi from the podium.

Jiang Xi was a little puzzled, but continued to read.

I feel a little flustered, probably not, I just haven't practiced my spoken English for a few days, and my accent should not have changed.

The English teacher picked off the mic that was attached to his ear, moved a little closer to Jiang Xi and listened carefully.

Jiang Xi read it tremblingly, feeling a little apprehensive.

I don't think I really regressed. This English teacher's American pronunciation must have two brushes.Jiang Xi began to predict all kinds of bad situations in his heart.

"Prefect! Consummate!" The English teacher took the lead in applauding, nodded in satisfaction and said, "You just transferred?"

The classmates in the class didn't know if they were scared or what, but they were silent for a while.

"Yes, I just came here today." Jiang Xi rubbed his nose embarrassedly, but he was relieved, luckily he didn't back down, otherwise he would really go crazy.

"Where did you transfer from?" the English teacher asked with a smile.

"Australia." Jiang Xi replied.

Hearing Jiang Xi's answer, there was a small exclamation in the class, and the students all turned their heads to look at Jiang Xi with curious and inquiring eyes.

When the English teacher heard it, his eyes suddenly became bright, and he said brightly: "What's your name"

"Jiangxi." Jiang Xi replied.

"Nope," the English teacher shook his head and said, "I'masking your Englishname."

Jiang Xi was a little stunned when he heard this, but he didn't know how to answer.

I won't use that English name anymore, as much glory is carried on that name, and Jiang Xi will be in pain when facing it.

Jiang Xi pursed his lips, a little at a loss.

I don't seem to have an English name anymore.

"Hello" the English teacher looked at himself expectantly.

A frame suddenly flashed before Jiang Xi's eyes, it was a frame from an American drama he watched a long time ago.

In the thick dark night, the headlights hit the tall and straight body of the man. The man held the baby in his arms like a treasure, looked down at the little baby in his hand with tenderness and love in his eyes, and used The hoarse and deep voice said softly and gently: "This city would have seen you dead, but I will have your home and everyone who wishes you harm will best be struck down."

"Hope. Hername is Hope."

Jiang Xi smiled with his eyes downcast, his eyes were a little wet, then he raised his head again, looked at the orange sunset outside the window and said

"Hope. My name is Hope."
