Chapter 60 The Peeping Class Teacher
Of course, Liu Zhiyi could also feel that there was no malice in such laughter, but rather a kind of intimacy between friends.
The girl's face turned red. Seeing that everyone was laughing happily, she didn't know how to respond, so she also laughed foolishly.
"I wanted to wear a school uniform at first..."
"Then the four of us are all in sync!!"
"Ah? Am I considered one too..."
"Of course, it counts if I thought about it, and we are all wearing school uniforms now, so it definitely counts."
"Ah."
Liu Zhiyi nodded, feeling happy.
This feeling of not only having friends but also being able to understand each other's minds is very magical to her.
"Zhiyi, now that you have a bicycle, you will be an official member of our Pineapple Island team. We will go to school and go home together, rain or shine!" Xu Cailing said in a childish way.
Fang Wei originally thought that Liu Zhiyi, who looked more mature, would laugh like him after hearing this, but he did not expect the girl to actually nod her head quite seriously, as if she agreed with him, and could not help but ask with concern:
"I'm not a very good rider, I'm afraid I'll hold you back..."
"It's okay! The purpose of our team is not to abandon! Never give up!" A Sheng also added.
"..."
No...can't you three be as mature as me!
It's just riding a bike to school, why are you so excited?
It made Fang Wei feel like he was a wolf, inexplicably mixed in with three Huskies.
New member Liu Zhiyi asked curiously: "Then our captain is..."
"Cough cough."
Fang Wei coughed twice and quietly sat up straight.
"Of course... it's me!"
Xu Cailing said proudly: "I'm the best at riding a bike, so I must be the captain... Hey, Xiao Weizi over there, what's that look in your eyes? Are you dissatisfied?"
"I'm convinced, I'm convinced. Captain, if we don't leave now, we're going to be late!"
"Then let's go!"
At Captain Xu's command, the four members of the Pineapple Island team set off on their bicycles.
Fang Wei and A Sheng took the lead, riding side by side in front;
Liu Zhiyi had just learned to ride a bike and her skills were quite limited, so Xu Cailing rode side by side with her behind and gave her the right side seat close to the road.
As the new darling of the team, Liu Zhiyi was protected in it. She didn't have to worry about the changing road conditions ahead or the interference of cars passing by on the side. She just needed to follow the rhythm of the three people and ride on her own.
The styles of the three-person bicycles are the same, but the colors are different. Fang Wei's is orange, Cai Ling's is green, A Sheng's is blue, and Liu Zhiyi's is white.
Looking into the distance, the scenery in your field of vision is probably a combination of these four colors: green fields, blue sky, white clouds, orange sunrise...
Fang Wei, Cai Ling and A Sheng would chat while riding their bikes, while Liu Zhiyi was quiet, with all her attention focused on her own cycling, because she also discovered that her cycling speed determined the cycling speed of the entire team.
Liu Zhiyi didn't know if she would be late for school if she continued riding at this speed, but Fang Wei and the other two never urged her.
When she goes fast, they go fast; when she goes slow, they slow down too.
It was her first time riding a bike to school. Riding for nearly half an hour was quite nervous for a sports novice like Liu Zhiyi. A random horn on the road would make her handlebars shake.
When she was practicing riding a bicycle these days, she had imagined many times that she would finally learn how to ride a bicycle and then ride to school with them. Maybe she would fall on the road, maybe she would accidentally bump into someone, or maybe she would fall far behind them...
But I never expected that I would be protected by them like this.
As the riding distance became longer and longer, it was already many times longer than the distance she usually practiced. However, the tension in her heart gradually dissipated, and was replaced by peace and relaxation.
We rode out of Shayang Village, passed the pier, the coastal path, and finally onto the Baitan Bridge.
She began to have the leisure to appreciate the scenery along the way.
The towering bridge connected the two sides of the island. The sun shone on the sparkling sea. The wind on the bridge blew her hair. Seagulls were circling and crying above her head...
She had passed by these sceneries while sitting on the bus and had also seen these sceneries while sitting on the back of a bicycle. But only this time, when she was riding the bicycle herself, she finally felt like she had walked into the picturesque scenery and become a part of such a painting.
[Bubu——]
The bus that she had only taken once and was thankful to have taken only once passed by her, passed the four members of the Pineapple Island team, and drove forward shakily.
Even though the bus surpassed his cycling speed, Liu Zhiyi inexplicably felt that he was riding in front of the bus, a place where the bus could not catch up no matter how fast it accelerated.
Looking back, it felt like a dream. I wasn’t on a bus, but on my bike ride…
She couldn't help but wonder if there was a parallel time and space line where she was still sitting on the bus...
The crossroads of fate always come unexpectedly. She never thought that that evening, the girl forcefully took her arm and offered to take her home, would be such a spectacular page in the book of her life.
……
Before they knew it, the four of them had ridden to a bustling town.
There were many cars and people in the town, so Liu Zhiyi's cycling speed was somewhat affected. The girl's originally relaxed expression became solemn again.
Fortunately, with the help and companionship of three friends, after passing the busiest market street, the school appeared in front of us.
“Arrived at destination!”
The four of them slowed down and braked at the same time, and stopped the car steadily.
Looking back, Liu Zhiyi, who had not said a word the whole way, seemed to be relieved. No one was sweating, and only she needed to use the back of her hand to gently wipe the thin layer of sweat on her smooth forehead.
"Zhiyi, how are you? Are you extremely nervous?"
"A bit..."
"It's time to go to school. It's not that difficult!"
"Ah."
Liu Zhiyi nodded, looked at the school gate in front of her, and finally a relaxed smile appeared on her pretty face.
As for whether it is difficult or not, only she herself knows. Anyway, if Cai Ling and the others were not there to accompany her, she would still suffer a little.
However, this success still gave her considerable confidence, and she also believed that she would ride better and better.
"Let's go~!"
She no longer had to go with them to park her bike empty-handed. From today on, she also had her own bike to park.
Liu Zhiyi followed the three of them, each pushing their bicycles into the school gate, and then came to the shade of the trees beside the wall, and learned from them to park the bicycles together and lock them.
[Click——]
Xu Cailing took out her U-shaped lock from the basket. This time she didn't lock it with Fang Wei's. Instead, she locked her rear wheel with Liu Zhiyi's rear wheel nearby.
Liu Zhiyi: “…”
Xu Cailing: “Hehe.”
"Cai Ling, my car is locked..."
"It's safer this way! We lock our bikes together, so others can't take both away at once!"
"Ah."
Liu Zhiyi thought about it and it seemed to be true. Of course, since they were both girls, locking their cars together felt intimate and beautiful.
It seems like it has been like this since a thousand years ago. Girls who are close to each other always hold hands and go shopping or go to the toilet together.
"Awei, why don't we lock our cars together!" Ah Sheng was eager to try after hearing that.
"roll."
Fang Wei raised his watch to check the time.
"…We're going to be late in two minutes!"
"!!!"
"Run!"
The four of them then hurriedly ran towards the teaching building with their schoolbags on their backs.
……
The school is not that big, two minutes is definitely enough to run to the classroom.
This was the first time that the four of them arrived at the classroom on time since the class officially started. Usually they arrived ten or fifteen minutes early.
Liu Zhiyi knew that the reason why she was so late today was due to herself, and she still felt a little guilty. However, she followed Fang Wei and the other two and ran all the way to the classroom, and was not late on time. This made her, who was always well-behaved, feel very excited, and her little heart was pounding.
The teacher hasn't arrived yet, but most of the students in the class are here.
The four-member team from Pineapple Island dispersed and returned to their seats.
Fang Wei and Liu Zhiyi were sitting at the back of the classroom. Liu Zhiyi followed behind Fang Wei, walked from the podium in front of everyone, and finally came to his seat.
When they first started sitting at the same table, Liu Zhiyi was worried that her classmates would tease her and Fang Wei as a couple. After all, they sat at the same table, often came and went together...
But no one seemed to think so, probably because there were not just two of them, but four of them.
If two people are ambiguous, then four people are just pure friendship, right?
Isn't it normal for people from the same island to go to school and go home together? Fang Wei doesn't have any thoughts on this, but I'm the one who's full of random thoughts the whole day. It turns out that I've read too many random books and lived outside for too long, so my thoughts are no longer pure!
Besides, even if everyone wanted to guess, they would definitely guess Cai Ling. Why would they guess her...
After all, growing up in a big city, he was exposed to many different things. Compared with his peers on the island, Liu Zhiyi was relatively precocious.
Now she felt a little embarrassed to say it out loud. In fact, when she first met Cai Ling and Fang Wei, she secretly wondered if Cai Ling and Fang Wei were...
Later I realized that I was overthinking.
At least for now, it seems that everyone is just very good friends.
Of course, she certainly didn't have any other ideas, and the only thing in her mind was studying.
It's rare to have good friends, and she really hopes that they can stay good to each other forever.
……
Liu Zhiyi pulled out the chair and sat back in his seat in the corner. He held the schoolbag in his arms and let out a long sigh of relief. He seemed to have taken root in the chair and would basically not move a step except during physical exercises, at noon and after school.
Returning to his own secluded corner from the bustling interpersonal interactions, Liu Zhiyi would briefly enter a state of daze and digest his emotions.
Fang Wei calls this process her "charging state"
Whenever Fang Wei saw her holding her schoolbag with a dull look in her eyes and not moving at all in this "charging state", he found it a little funny.
I always feel like she is like a sweeping robot that has run out of power after working for half a day.
He didn't know what was going on in her mind when she was in this state, and he didn't bother her.
The two have been sitting at the same table for a week.
After spending so much time with her in daily life, Fang Wei finally confirmed that his impression of her in his previous life was seriously biased.
Things like looking quite aloof, not getting along with country people, and being difficult to approach, now seem to be completely different. She is clearly just a weak little girl. Faced with a life that is completely different from the past, she feels a little confused, a little overwhelmed, and a little overwhelmed. Yet she is still quite strong-willed, fearing that others will see how miserable she is.
Cai Ling has all her thoughts clearly written on her face, while she keeps all her thoughts hidden in her heart.
You say she is mature, but she is silly and takes things that many adults consider childish seriously;
You may say she is childish, but she is different from her peers and knows exactly what she wants;
But she was just a little girl of twelve or thirteen years old after all. Even though she had a lot of hidden thoughts, simple and cute thoughts always occupied the vast majority of her thoughts.
Youth is not always smooth sailing.
Having fewer regrets means you are successful.
……
As it is Friday now, the school's teaching arrangements are back on track.
After the bell for morning reading rang, Liu Zhiyi, who was in a recharging state, came back to his senses, put away the schoolbag in his arms, and took out the Chinese textbook for today's morning reading.
When she heard the bell ringing, the petite and cute Wang Yushan's heart skipped a beat.
Ah Sheng, who was standing by, seemed very interested and poked her with his pen:
"It's time for Chinese morning reading, Wang Yushan, why don't you go up and lead the reading?"
"I'm glad that you're so enthusiastic about early reading, but I really don't like your reminder."
Wang Yushan rolled her eyes at him, then walked up to the podium with the Chinese textbook and started leading the reading.
This was her second time leading the reading. She felt less nervous and shy than the first time. Fortunately, her classmates were cooperative and did not cause her too much trouble.
Fang Wei and Liu Zhiyi arrived at the classroom on time. The group leader had already collected the homework. It was morning reading time and it was not convenient to move around.
Seeing that Liu Zhiyi was too embarrassed to bother others to help hand in her homework, Fang Wei took her homework and asked the girl at the front desk to help hand it to the group leader.
After handing in his homework, Fang Wei also took his Chinese textbook and started reading in the morning with Wang Yushan on the podium.
Like Liu Zhiyi, Wang Yushan's appearance is also very deceptive. This girl is petite and cute, and seems easy to talk to and approach. But in fact, she is not cute at all and is a very goal-oriented girl.
Even if she is not very willing to lead the reading, she can still do the job perfectly.
Ah Sheng sat at the same table with her, and he must have suffered a lot, but the effect that Wen Susu wanted seemed to have been achieved. Occasionally, Fang Wei would check on Ah Sheng during class, and actually found that this boy was listening to the class seriously!
Regardless of whether he heard it or not, he didn't dare to talk all day like he did in elementary school. After all, if he disturbed Wang Yushan's studies, he would definitely die.
Don't underestimate this kind of petite girl, when she hits someone it hurts a lot.
The sound of reading aloud resounded throughout the classroom. Inspired by this scene, Liu Zhiyi, who was standing next to him, also began to read aloud.
Her voice was so soft, it was no different from silent reading. Even Fang Wei, who was sitting next to her, could only see her lips moving but could not hear any sound.
As for Xu Cailing at the other end of the classroom, her voice was much louder. The girl sat in a casual posture, holding the textbook in both hands, and habitually followed everyone in reading. Although her lips moved and her voice made sounds, her mind was probably empty.
Of course, some students also took the opportunity to whisper or do their own things.
This is roughly what the morning reading class looks like.
By the way, where is Teacher Wen? Didn’t she come to watch the morning reading this morning?
Fang Wei was just curious, and then he saw a figure standing by the window with her hands behind her back, observing stealthily in the corner of the corridor outside the classroom...
"..."
As expected, all homeroom teachers have voyeurism, right? !
