At the same table, let's make a bet

After the bell for the end of evening self-study get out of class rang, Xie An slowly got up, put away his things and said to Chen Haiqing who was next to him, "Shall we go downstairs together?"

Chen Haiqing nodded, then picked up his schoolbag, and saw Xie An walking out empty-handed. Chen Haiqing looked at his heavy bag and sighed. Xie An frowned and said, "Help me carry it? Is it too heavy?"

Chen Haiqing shook his head and said, "I'm not a child."

Xie An suddenly laughed, stopped after a while and said seriously: "I'm sorry, but your expression is too serious. You are not a child, but you are my deskmate. Tell me if it is serious. Let's go?"

Chen Haiqing snorted, but nodded.

Liu Haozheng, who was standing at the door, wanted to go in and call Xie An, but when he saw this scene, he smiled, turned around and left silently.

Xie An returned to the dormitory and saw Liu Hao playing with his mobile phone with his head down, so he sat at the desk without saying a word, picked up the book on the desk, it was "Magic Night" that Chen Haiqing was reading before.

Liu Haozheng said suddenly: "Xie An'an, you and Chen Haiqing have a very good relationship..."

Xie An frowned and said without turning his head: "We are at the same table..."

Liu Haozheng interrupted: "No, no, don't you feel that Chen Haiqing treats you differently from others? He was not like that in junior high school..."

Xie An put down his book, turned around and looked at Liu Hao who was sitting on the bed, and said, "How is he doing in junior high school?"

"Well," Liu Haozheng also raised his head, looked at him with a smile and said, "He doesn't like to talk in junior high school, doesn't participate in group activities, and doesn't care much about others' initiative to talk to him. He's a very introverted person..."

Xie An said disdainfully: "That's because the person he's talking to is not good at talking. Chen Haiqing and the rest of our class are pretty good at talking."

Liu Haozheng still looked at him with a smile and said, "Really..."

Xie An raised his eyebrows and stopped talking, and turned back to continue reading.

At noon the next day, Xie An sat with Chen Haiqing in the meeting room.

A petite girl walked up to Xie An. Xie An thought she was calling Chen Haiqing, so she patted the shoulder of his deskmate who was about to fall asleep. Minister, Tang Li, may I ask what your name is?"

After Xie An realized that Tang Li was looking at him, he frowned and said, "I'm just accompanying others, I don't want to join the student union."

He watched the girl approach him suddenly and said, "The student union has many activities every year, and the souvenirs sold by the school will have discounted prices inside the student union. Moreover, if you come, I can directly let you enter the external relations department!"

Xie An frowned, leaned back and said, "No need. And the pink on the face of senior sister is about to crack."

Xie An's voice was not loud, but it was enough for everyone around to hear, not to mention that many people had paid attention to this place before.

Tang Li smiled without showing any displeasure and said, "Then I'm bothering you, does the person next to you want to join the External Relations Department?"

Chen Haiqing bit her lip, shook her head and said, "I'm very sorry, I don't think I have enough social skills, so I didn't sign up for the Outreach Department."

Tang Li tilted his head and smiled, then turned and left.

Xie An heard a boy next to him whispering: "Hey, isn't that Tang Li-senpai? She's a sophomore in high school! She's really pretty."

Xie An frowned and turned his head slightly to Chen Haiqing and said, "Is it because my aesthetics are different? I don't think it looks good when you slap a lump of powder on your face."

He didn't deliberately lower his voice when he spoke, and many people looked over again.

Chen Haiqing covered her mouth and whispered in embarrassment: "It's not good to speak ill of others behind their backs, is it?"

Xie An continued to frown and said, "Is this not a bad word? It's the truth. Do you think she is prettier than Tianhai Youxi and Beichuan Jingzi?"

Chen Haiqing: ...

Then shook his head honestly, he didn't know him anyway, and stopped talking.

Ten minutes later, a senior came in and called Chen Haiqing's name. Chen Haiqing stood up silently. Xie An smiled at him and said, "Come on, I'll wait for you here."

Chen Haiqing nodded, Xie An watched him follow the senior sister out of the meeting room, and then stared in the direction of the door in a daze.

Chen Haiqing followed the senior into the next room. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a senior wearing black-rimmed glasses bowing his head and writing something. Behind him stood a senior who was reading a thick book.

After the senior sister opened the door, she left without saying anything. Chen Haiqing didn't know what to say, so she closed the door gently and stood there.

After 2 minutes, the senior who was sitting raised his head, smiled at him in a friendly way and said, "Well, cute little boy, come and sit down. I'm Ma Chenghua from class 14, senior high school, and I'm currently the head of the management department. You submit your resume When did you say you wanted to join the self-management committee?"

Chen Haiqing sat on the stool cautiously, then nodded, and looked at him with wide eyes. Ma Chenghua looked at him for a while and said, "Do you know the name of the painting in the men's room on the first floor and the second floor?"

Chen Haiqing was stunned for a moment. Although he had heard that this minister was a weirdo before, he didn't expect to ask this question. He bit his lip and recalled: "If I remember correctly, it is freedom to lead the people."

Ma Chenghua raised his eyebrows and said, "Are you interested in joining the management department?"

Chen Haiqing said "ah", then nodded quickly and said, "If there is a chance, I am very willing."

Ma Chenghua stared at him for a while, then turned to look at the boy behind him, the boy whispered something in his ear, Ma Chenghua nodded, then turned back and said: "Do you think you and others want to enter Compared with the people in the management department, what are the advantages?"

Chen Haiqing pondered for a while and said: "I think I am a more careful person, and my memory is better than others."

Ma Chenghua nodded and said: "OK, I see, you can go back, and the result will be sent to you in the form of a letter at noon tomorrow."

Chen Haiqing nodded, stood up and bowed to him, "Thank you senior."

After watching Chen Haiqing go out, the boy behind Ma Chenghua put down his book, tapped his chin on Ma Chenghua's shoulder and said, "This junior is as mentally retarded as you were back then. Since you really know what the paintings in the men's room are."

Ma Chenghua pushed his glasses: "What? Did you like it?"

The boy sighed and said, "Don't dare, my daughter-in-law is so beautiful, how dare I fall in love with others?"

Ma Chenghua's face was a little red, and while he was writing something solemnly, he said, "Senior Lin Qiaoxu, please take a good look at your Chinese. Don't fail to pass a hundred in the imitation test, and come here to ask for comfort."

The boy lightly licked Ma Chenghua's earlobe and said, "Everything my wife says is right." Then he opened the book and continued to look down.

After Chen Haiqing closed the door, he took a deep breath, raised his eyes and saw Xie An standing at the door, he trembled and said, "Aren't you waiting for me there? Why are you here?"

Xie An shrugged and said, "They are too noisy, let's go? Did the interview go well?"

Chen Haiqing recounted the conversation just now, Xie An nodded and said: "Then you should be able to get your wish. By the way, our classroom is on the third floor, how do you know what is the painting in the men's room on the second floor?"

Chen Haiqing stuck out her tongue and said embarrassedly: "Actually, when I was inquiring about how to get into the management department a few days ago, I heard a small rumor that the head of the management department of this term and the head of the management department of the previous term are... lovers.

"It is said that the previous minister crazily pursued this minister because he answered which painting was in the men's restroom on the second floor. Then I went to see the painting curiously, but I didn't expect him to ask arrive."

Xie An was stunned for a while before asking: "Is the last minister a man or a woman?"

He heard Chen Haiqing just say that this minister is a senior, so the person who is in love with him should be a little girl, but a girl asked a boy what he thought about the paintings in the men's room, how weird he was.

Chen Haiqing hesitated for a moment and said: "It's a man. That's why I said it was a small rumor. The two of them have never announced it to the public. Both of them have good grades, and the school has never looked for them."

Xie An snorted, frowning, not knowing what he was thinking.

In the physical education class in the afternoon, Chen Haiqing chose table tennis, while Xie An chose basketball, and they were having fun with Zhao Yu at this time.

In the middle of the fight, Xie An caught a glimpse of a short little girl holding a bottle of water, trotting to the place where they put their clothes, then gently put a bottle of mineral water and two big white rabbit toffees next to Zhao Yu's clothes , and quickly ran away.

Xie An raised his eyebrows, looked at Zhao Yu, and found that he didn't notice at all, so he didn't care.

After the physical education class was over, Xie An and Zhao Yu walked to the place where the clothes were put. Zhao Yu was stunned when he saw Shui and Tang and said, "Fuck, is there a little girl who has a crush on my handsome figure?"

Xie An smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said, "Maybe it's some little boy."

Zhao Yu cursed with a smile, and asked, "What about the water and sugar? I don't even know who the little girl is."

Xie An shrugged and said, "I have always looked down on people who don't even have the courage to confess to their faces."

Zhao Yu grinned at him and said, "Pull you down! I think you are just jealous of me."

Xie An gave him a supercilious look, and seeing Zhao Yu wrapping sugar and water in his clothes and planning to go back to work, Xie An asked, "Just take it away like this?"

Zhao Yu smiled and said, "Why not? Seeing the big white rabbit here alone? I guess this little girl might be acting on a whim. I'll send this candy back when she doesn't give it away. Anyway, I don't like candy."

Xie An shrugged his shoulders and didn't talk anymore, he walked to the gym silently, planning to wait for Chen Haiqing to go back to work together.

The next day, Chen Haiqing really received the letter of appointment at noon, and he successfully became the deputy director of the management department.

So Xie An witnessed that he never went down to do exercises from then on.

The practice before the chorus festival turned into Sun Yutian leading everyone to practice, while Xie An learned how to conduct with Cheng Jinrong, and in the evening he had to discuss the costumes for the performance with the class.

The closer the competition was, the more anxious Xie An became. He always felt that the performances of his class were not distinctive, and there was no way to attract the eyes of the judges.

Five days before the competition, Xie An was standing on the playground and blowing the wind. After a while, he heard Chen Haiqing's voice: "Yuqishou, what's the matter? I feel that you have been very anxious recently."

He didn't look back, just put his trouser pockets, looked up at the night sky, and said softly: "I feel like I might screw up this competition. I think our class's singing is not distinctive."

Chen Haiqing bit her lips and said, "But I think you have tried your best, and it's not your fault that you can't get the first place."

Xie An suddenly laughed and said, "No, in group competitions, if you get the first place, it's the honor of the whole class. If you don't get the first place, it's the responsibility of the person in charge—myself."

Chen Haiqing shook his head vigorously, and found that Xie An couldn't see, so he said: "No, no one will blame you if you don't get the first place. You don't need to take the responsibility on yourself. It doesn't matter if you get the first place or not. , is the honor of everyone in our class."

Xie An suddenly turned around, stared at Chen Haiqing and said, "We didn't get the first place, which means we haven't been recognized by others. How can it be considered an honor if we don't get recognized?"

Chen Haiqing was surprised and said: "Why do you have to get other people's approval? Who stipulates that other people's approval must be right? Isn't the original purpose of anything, whether it's an activity or a competition, to make yourself happy and make everyone happy?"

Xie An looked at him and said seriously: "In my opinion, getting the approval of others is very important."

Chen Haiqing pursed her lips and thought for a while and said, "But you can't get everyone's approval. Everyone's opinion is different. Why should people live for others?"

Xie An shook his head and said, "If you are not recognized by others, and one day those people suddenly ignore you, wouldn't you feel afraid?"

Chen Haizhi's thin lips were stretched into a line, and after a while he said: "I only hope that the people I like, love, and cherish can look at me and support me, and I don't want others Can’t handle it either.”

Xie An smiled and said: "That's right...Maybe we are different... If people around me don't care or care about me, I will be very scared. Maybe this is a very sick way in your opinion. Psychology..."

Chen Haiqing shook his head, Xie An turned his head, and continued to look at the night sky. After a long time, when Chen Haiqing thought that Xie An would not speak again, Xie An suddenly said: "Silly white, you are really stupid... you Remember our bet? That bet didn’t come to fruition at all, and you didn’t say what to do before I quit smoking successfully.”

Chen Haiqing looked at his back, raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said: "So, you are the stupid one, as long as you don't smoke for a day, we will be friends for a day."

Xie An: ...

Why did he feel that he was cheated? Chen Haiqing looked stupid, but he was actually pretty smart.

But...he felt that what Chen Haiqing said just now made sense, at least he was in a better mood now.

Chen Haiqing was silently thinking about Xie An's previous words, hoping that others would keep paying attention to him...
