weird

Chu Chen came out of the office, and just two steps away, he bumped into the somewhat hasty solemnity.

Seeing that his face was not very good-looking, Zhuang Yan scratched his neck and forced a smile, "Are you okay? What did they call you here for?"

He came after Chu Chen and stood outside for a while.

"It's okay." Chu Chen glanced at him lightly, not surprised by his appearance.

"Is it about the number of outstanding students?" Zhuang Yan said his guess, "That No.4 wants to squeeze you out?"

Chu Chen didn't speak, but solemnly said anxiously, "Speak up!"

"Yes or no, it has nothing to do with you." Chu Chen finally moved his mouth after stalemate for a long time, walked around him and went down the stairs without stopping.

Zhuang Yan felt a little dissatisfied for a moment, and was about to follow, when he heard a few laughs from the office behind him, followed by some unclear conversations, and two low-profile, flattering words could be vaguely heard.

He was stunned for a moment, and the guessing in his mind became hesitant. He didn't listen much, and accelerated down the stairs. As soon as he got out of the building, he didn't look for it, and saw Chu Chen's back hurriedly walking by the flower bed at a glance.

The bell for evening self-study has rang for the second time. Apart from the sound of their footsteps, there is only the rustling of the night wind passing through the treetops on this path. This is a shortcut back to the Boxue Building. There are many, because it is a small road, so there are no street lights, and you can only see a green energy-saving lamp tied to a certain tree every few meters.

Zhuang Yan took a few quick steps, and under the cover of the darkness, he tried to hold Chu Chen's hand. The two cool hands were pressed together, and the fingers were misplaced and entangled. Chu Chen paused, holding his breath solemnly waiting for him reaction.

Chu Chen didn't react much, he neither broke free nor held back, he moved forward as usual, and only wriggled his fingers to break free when he reached the Boxue Building.

Zhuang Yan heaved a sigh of relief. They only kissed in the afternoon, and now they are still holding hands. He thought that Chu Chen really accepted it, at least not rejecting the intimacy between the two. Unfortunately, before he had time to be happy, he Found the problem.

The relationship between them is still the same as before, solemn and deliberately teasing, Chu Chen occasionally responds, most of the time he does not respond, in addition, there are more secret and intimate physical contact than before, but solemn still Confused.

When the two were getting close, Chu Chen went step by step, and the enthusiasm he gave almost made Zhuang Yan think that they were a real couple in love. Intimacy is just a specific task that needs to be completed, and the expression can be changed by turning the face, and the solemnity can clearly sense that he is unwilling and unhappy.

In addition to intimacy, Chu Chen's indifference seemed to be another extreme. Under such indifference, Chu Chen no longer had to wear a mask of enthusiasm, even looking at him seemed like he was carrying a sharp knife.

In such a state of extreme polarization, Zhuang Yan couldn't grasp his attitude at all, and felt anxious and uneasy.

He always felt that Chu Chen seemed to hate him, and finally understood how false and fragile this intimate appearance was, but he really couldn't let it go, as long as Chu Chen didn't break the appearance, he was willing to indulge in it, even if only at night. Being able to fall asleep with a long string of WeChat messages that have disappeared into the sea is also as happy as death.

This anxious state lasted for several days, until another Monday afternoon, the Department of Political Affairs and Education posted a notice of selection and voting for outstanding students.

The voting method is also simple. Those who enter the top ten in the half-term exam are eligible to participate in the selection. The school's official website will launch an anonymous vote at noon on Tuesday, and the selection results will be announced on Wednesday.

Once this announcement was released, there was a small-scale discussion and embarrassment in the entire second year of high school.

One is because of the evaluation criteria for outstanding students, some students have heard about it from various sources a long time ago. Under the preconceived situation, they were suddenly told to vote for the selection, so that the students who had no connection at all had a sense of participation , so the topic of which three to vote for quickly became a hot topic among the classes.

And this embarrassment was purely aimed at Chu Chen.

You said that you originally heard that there is a place for the top three in the entrance examination, but the rules were suddenly changed. Could it be that the school leaders also knew about Chu Chen's private rumors and tacitly agreed that this person is not worthy of this place?

This speculation sounds reasonable. Indeed, who has ever seen a provincial outstanding student who was stabbed because of a fight?An outstanding student who put his best friend in jail?So what about the number one scholar in the high school entrance examination, and what about the sixth place in the half-term exam. No matter how good the character is, no matter how good the brain is, it is just a cancer that endangers society.

There are too many people talking, and the speed of gossip has been spreading very fast.People always try to play the role of a sober person, consciously seeing through all kinds of things in the world, and always have a foot in the good and bad things of others, echoing those who have the same views as their own, and despise those who run counter to them. Although there are so many views, So different, I am the only arbiter in the meantime, as long as I believe what I believe, I can take it for granted to dictate the lives of others.

"It's over now. If you vote for the selection, Chu Chen will be in danger." Zhou Dize scrolled through the notice on the official website, and muttered, "Why did the rules suddenly change? Last week, Gang Leader Qiao said that Chu Shen is stable."

Yu Lu said, "There are four in the top ten in our class. It is estimated that there are about forty votes in our class. Chu Chen has little hope of getting it."

Although this sounds ugly, it is true.Chu Chen's reputation and popularity are undoubtedly poor, even though these rumors are so unreasonable and inexplicable.

"I can vote for Brother Chuchen for all three," Fang Wenqi said worriedly, "I can still go canvassing."

When Zhuang Yan saw the notification, he almost smashed his phone.

"What did Zhang Zhengyuan say when he asked you to go to the office that day?" He grabbed Chu Chen's shoulder and stared at him.

Chu Chen turned around, looked back at him calmly, and said without any ups and downs, "They want to give me money to give up my quota, but I didn't agree."

"Damn it, I guessed that it's not that simple. This Zhang Zhengyuan of the Political and Education Office is a snobbish eye for money. He must have collected money. Fuck, it's so fucking disgusting!" table, startled Yu Lu who was next to him.

Nineteenth High School is a general high school, and the allocation of school leaders is naturally lower than that of the key schools from the very beginning. What's more, such unspoken unspoken rules abound. Those who use money to do things, but also blatantly put it in front of the students, are in the minority.

Chu Chen quietly watched him finish venting, his eyes flickering with secretiveness, and after a while, he poked his finger on the screen of the phone, exited the notification interface, stood up, and put the phone into his jacket.

Zhuang Yan quickly glanced at the time, there were 2 minutes left for class, so he raised his head and asked, "Where are you going?"

Chu Chen stared at him condescendingly, but didn't answer and asked: "Why are you so angry, are you different from them?"

Zhuang Yan's brain buzzed, and then became a mess, and suddenly he couldn't find anything to say.

If it was just speculation before, now he is sure that Chu Chen really hates him.

……

As soon as Chu Chen stepped into the building of the Political and Educational Office, the class bell rang, but he couldn't control it so much. After going up to the third floor, he walked straight to the door of the third room. He was about to call for a report when he heard several people coming from the room. Mixed with the voice of the conversation, he took a step back, thought for a while, took out his phone and clicked on the recording.

He heard Zhang Zhengyuan say with a smile, "Don't worry, even if Wang Xiaolong's votes are not in the top three, I can still modify the data in the background to ensure that he can get the spot."

Another male voice said: "Then I will leave all this to you. It's all my son's failure to live up to expectations. He won't let me get into the top three next time. Don't embarrass me."

"Understood." This time, the voice of a young boy with a relatively immature voice change sounded a little hoarse, and Chu Chen guessed that it should be that Wang Xiaolong.

Wang Xiaolong said, "I'm not ashamed, but the one surnamed Chu is ashamed. No one in our class wants to vote for him. Some people would rather abstain than vote for him."

The male voice said with a smile: "That kid looks crazy, not like a well-educated one, you can guess the treatment."

"His character is quite poor. I also heard that he is an orphan, so he probably has no mother to teach him." Wang Xiaolong whispered.

After that, Chu Shen didn't listen again, he turned and went downstairs, and waited behind a big tree downstairs of the Political and Education Office building. Fortunately, he didn't wait too long, and within 2 minutes, two people were waiting, one of them was slightly bloated The short one, and the other is the man he saw at the political and religious office that day.

He waited for the two of them to walk for a certain distance and then followed them. The man walked towards the gate of the school, and the short man went straight to the Boxue Building.

Chu Chen silently followed the short man, and when he reached the foot of the Bo Xue Building, he immediately took off his school uniform jacket, stepped forward to cover the short man's head, and dragged him desperately to the back of the Bo Xue Building .
