Chapter 67 I want to go to No. Middle School
Xu Cailing, who had no interest in watching the sunrise, slept soundly in the early morning dream.
She slept in the small bed with her legs spread out. Occasionally, the wind from the fan would gently brush the girl's cheek through the loose mosquito net.
Whenever this happened, she would reach out and scratch herself, then cover her head with the quilt and change to a more comfortable sleeping position.
It was not until about seven o'clock in the morning, when the sunlight shone through the gap in her room window and fell on the girl's little butt, that Xu Cailing hummed twice like a pig, rubbed her eyes, and slowly woke up.
After waking up, she was reluctant to get up. She rolled around with the pillow in her arms and accidentally hit her head on the bedside table. She grimaced in pain, and then she finally turned over and sat up.
Draw the curtains, open the window, and see your classmates next to you.
Fang Wei had woken up a long time ago and was not in the room at this moment. His window was also open, and she could easily see his room.
Even if she didn't see Fang Wei, Xu Cailing knew he was at home, because if he was not at home, he would definitely close the windows. Just as Fang Wei was familiar with her, she was also familiar with Fang Wei to the core.
The two people's windows are really close to each other.
Moreover, the windows were all large and there were no guardrails or anything. There was only a one-meter-high low wall separating the two houses. If she wanted to, she could easily climb down from her own window, then climb over the wall, and finally climb through his window into his room.
In fact, Xu Cailing really did this, and not just once, but many times.
Thinking about how she sneaked into his room, then suddenly popped out from his house and patted his shoulder to scare him, Xu Cailing couldn't help but laugh with joy.
Of course, as you get older, you have to be more reserved. You can't just climb through the window for no reason like you did when you were a child.
Of course she didn't have any strange thoughts in her mind!
Just for fun!
Finally, the girl resisted the urge to secretly climb through his window to scare him. She stretched herself and went back to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Brush your teeth and wash your face after eating, including weekends.
……
After Xu Cailing finished her breakfast and was brushing her teeth in the yard with a towel on her shoulder, she finally saw Fang Wei who was also in the yard.
Fang Wei had come back from running a long time ago. He had breakfast, a shower, and laundry. He had just finished feeding the chickens at home. There were six fresh, warm eggs in the feeding bowl.
At this moment he was poking the cat's head on the wall, looking as if he was pointing fingers.
"Did you run out again last night?"
"Meow……"
"Why are you going so far to Shayang Village?"
"Meow..."
"You're used to the wild, right? You think the mice at home aren't as fat as the mice outside, right?"
"Meow……"
"Don't rub against me, it's useless to rub against me!"
July looked as if he knew he was wrong. He was fierce and tough outside, but facing Fang Wei's accusations, he now acted like a baby, meowing with a pinched voice.
Can you blame it? Its territory is so big, how can it not go out to patrol every night...
"What are you doing? Bullying July for no reason."
"I'm giving a lecture, and I'm not home all day!"
"That's how cats are, isn't it?"
July seemed to have found a savior. He jumped down from the wall and ran to Xu Cailing's yard. With a flattering look on his face, he raised his big tail and rubbed it against the girl's smooth legs.
"Look, July kisses me but I won't kiss you anymore!"
"..."
Fang Wei's face was full of question marks, and for a moment he couldn't figure out whose cat it was.
After bringing the eggs he had just picked up back into the house and putting them away, Fang Wei took the chicken feed bowl to the well to wash it, then dragged another bucket over to collect some water to water the vegetable garden.
The vegetable seeds that were sown a week ago are growing well, and the lush green looks particularly healing.
But later he will have to cruelly thin out the seedlings and pull out some small seedlings. After all, the vegetable field is not big and the seeds are sown densely. If you want the vegetables to grow well, it is necessary to thin out the seedlings appropriately.
The stupid girl next door was also brushing her teeth and washing her face, making loud gurgling sounds.
"Fang Wei!"
"Ok?"
"Have you done your homework?"
"not yet."
"Then what did you do so early this weekend?"
"To watch the sunrise."
"Boring! Who would get up as early as you to watch the sunrise?"
"Ren Liu Zhiyi has also gone."
"what?!"
Xu Cailing's face was solemn, and she asked, "Then why didn't you invite me when you agreed to watch the sunrise together?"
"We didn't make an appointment, so we just went together if we met."
"Does Zhiyi run, too?"
"She's practicing cycling."
"You run and she rides a bike?"
"Well, do you want to come along? I'll take you to see the sunrise tomorrow morning?"
"No, you might as well get some more sleep!"
The girl had no interest in watching the sunrise, so she felt relieved when she heard that they had not made a secret appointment.
Fang Wei naturally saw through his childhood sweetheart. Sometimes he thought it was funny and felt that she was like a cat, curious about everything. It didn’t matter what she did, the important thing was not to hide it from Cai Ling!
Of course, she is the same. Her thoughts are always clearly written on her face.
Maybe one day, when even Cai Ling starts to hide things secretly, she will have truly grown up...
"I haven't done my homework either!" Xu Cailing laughed.
"…This is not something worth bragging about." Fang Wei rolled his eyes.
"Let's do our homework together later."
"I won't copy it for you."
"I didn't mean to copy you!"
The girl sprayed a mouthful of water in his direction, wiped her face, and went back to her room to get her homework.
Although Xu Cailing doesn't like studying, she has an excellent quality, which is that she doesn't procrastinate on her homework.
No matter it is the weekend or the summer or winter vacation, she will finish her homework at the very beginning. Not to mention the accuracy rate, the main reason is that she doesn't want to be affected by the "unfinished homework" to affect her mood for playing. As long as the homework is finished first, she can play happily.
Fang Wei carried a bucket of water to the vegetable garden behind the house and watered the seedlings and thinned them out.
I had nothing else to do, so after finishing these chores I prepared to go back to the house to do my homework.
He looked up at the neighbor out of curiosity. Everyone was quiet. Cai Ling had just said that she wanted to do homework with him, but now he didn't know where she had gone.
Shaking his head and ignoring her, Fang Wei returned to the room, opened the door, and was shocked to find the girl who had occupied his desk and magically appeared in his room.
"hey-hey."
Seeing Fang Wei stunned after opening the door, Xu Cailing smiled and was very satisfied with his expression.
Fang Wei's eyelids twitched, and he said speechlessly: "Can you be more ladylike? There is a main door for you to go out! And you climbed in through the window?!"
"It's faster to go through windows. In martial arts novels, don't all the masters go through windows?"
"You're still right. I'll ask my dad to weld the windows shut someday!"
"Humph."
Xu Cailing didn't mind at all, as if she was the owner of the room. She patted the empty seat next to her and asked Fang Wei to sit down and do homework together.
Fortunately, the girl was serious about doing her homework. Unless Fang Wei was also lazy and distracted, she would not dare to talk to him easily. It had been like this since elementary school. The two of them did their homework together on weekends or during winter and summer vacations.
Maybe for her, doing homework is a painful thing, but with Fang Wei by her side, it doesn't seem so painful.
In fact, when doing homework with Fang Wei, he was quite strict. Once she was distracted or wanted to whisper something, he would warn her with his eyes or small gestures. Compared with doing homework alone, there was not much freedom at all.
But even so, Xu Cailing still liked to do homework with him, and even she couldn't explain why.
Maybe it's because even though he always acts like a boring old man on weekdays, she still likes playing with him?
Fang Wei has a very strange quality, as if there is a kind of energy field around him. As long as I stay next to him, I feel inexplicably safe and at ease.
In fact, they were just the same age. He couldn't run as fast as her, nor could he jump as high as her. She couldn't explain where this feeling came from. It was precisely because of this unique feeling that he seemed so special...
Like many of her peers, her parents always like to compare her with the boy next door. Although she doesn’t accept it out loud, the girl still accepts it in her heart. If her parents compare Ah Sheng with her, she will not only accept it out loud, but she will definitely not accept it in her heart...
Sorry, I didn't mean to diss you! Don't take it seriously, bro!
……
The school has just started and there is not much homework assigned for the weekend. If Fang Wei works quickly, he can finish it all in less than an hour.
Since he was doing homework with Xu Cailing, Fang Wei worked much more slowly, doing his own work while waiting for her.
The fan blew the wind from her direction to his side.
The girl had short hair that reached her shoulders, and the wind carried the fresh and clean scent of laundry detergent.
Occasionally, when Fang Wei worked too fast, he would stop writing and glance at her out of the corner of his eye.
Cailing's skin cannot be said to be fair, but her skin texture is quite healthy, not greasy and without acne. Her facial features appear quite delicate no matter from which direction you look at them.
The little expression is very serious at this moment, and the little mouth that usually keeps chattering is now tightly closed. Occasionally when encountering a problem, his lips will be pursed and his brows will be wrinkled, as if his face is itchy, and he will scratch his face with his fingers.
When she really didn't know what to do, she began to lose focus. First her eyes were empty, then she became restless, and finally she looked around...
"Why are you looking at me? You're making me lose my focus!"
"??"
This can also be blamed on me!
Okay, Fang Wei won’t look at her.
After a while, she gave up, tilted the homework book in front of her, pointed at a question with the tip of her pen, and asked him in a gentle voice: "How do I solve this problem..."
At this age, the only thing that can stump her is probably studying.
Xu Cailing's grades couldn't be said to be good, but they weren't bad either. She was just average in the class.
After all, the school was not a good one. She actually understood that if her grades continued like this, it would be difficult to get into high school. Although she didn't say it, she had made a decision in her heart that she would study hard after entering junior high school.
Perhaps because she knew that Fang Wei would definitely be admitted to a very good high school in the future, she wanted to go to the same high school as him from the bottom of her heart. This was probably her purest original intention for studying.
In fact, she has really changed a lot since she entered junior high school. She tries hard to listen in class even if she doesn't understand. She no longer likes to whisper like she did in elementary school. She has never read the comic books she brought in class and she completes the homework assigned by the teacher honestly.
But even so, I feel that my progress is very slow.
Sometimes when I really can’t hold on any longer, I would think about this: my sister didn’t make it to high school either, so it’s fine for her to go out and work and earn money… or maybe I’m really not suited to studying, so is hard work really useful?
After Fang Wei explained the problem to her, she realized that it was actually a very simple problem. Instead of feeling happy, she felt more frustrated.
Seeing that she looked depressed and silent, Fang Wei asked curiously:
"What's wrong? Is there anything else you don't understand?"
"no……"
"So what are you thinking about?"
"Fang Wei, am I really stupid and not suitable for studying at all? My sister is also not good at studying. Do you think this is hereditary?"
The girl, who had nothing to hide, confessed her thoughts to her childhood friend who knew her everything.
After listening to her, Fang Wei couldn't help but laugh at her simple and cute idea.
"What are you laughing at! I'm serious!"
"Hiss—why are you pinching me?"
"You're laughing at me! And you won't let me pinch you?"
"Okay, okay, I won't laugh at you anymore."
"Then answer what I just said."
"What?"
"Am I stupid?"
"You're not stupid."
"……real?"
"real."
"Then why can't I study better than you?"
Fang Wei put away his joking thoughts, looked into her eyes, and said seriously:
"As far as your studies in elementary and middle school are concerned, you are far from having to compete with talent. Plus, you are not stupid. You are the smartest girl I have ever seen. How can you think that your poor grades are because you are stupid? This is just an excuse to comfort yourself. Once you really accept that you are stupid and not suitable for studying, can you calmly accept the fact that your grades are poor?"
"I……"
It was rare that he revealed her thoughts in one sentence. The girl's pretty face blushed. In fact, she didn't realize that she was thinking these things, but deep down in her heart, she really thought so -
Because I'm stupid, it doesn't matter whether I learn or not.
Fang Wei changed his way of speaking and told her in her favorite way: "That's your inner demon. How can you let your inner demon lead you astray? Junior high school has just begun. Do you have to accept that you are stupid?"
"I'm not stupid! You are stupid!" the girl said anxiously.
"Look, you're in a hurry."
"You can't rush learning, but don't feel stupid because of a small setback."
"Then, do I still have a chance?"
"Which high school do you want to apply to?" Fang Wei asked.
"Which high school do you want to apply to?" Cai Ling asked back.
"You want to go to the same high school with me?" Fang Wei blinked.
"Hmm..." The girl nodded softly, her voice small.
"Then let's make an appointment to go to No. 1 Middle School together."
"One, one middle?!"
There are four high schools in the Xuanzhu Thousand Islands group, and Xuanzhu No. 1 High School is the best one.
When Xu Cailing heard Fang Wei say that he wanted to go to No. 1 Middle School, her eyes widened.
"Why, you have no confidence?"
"This is a bit difficult..."
"It's not just a little difficult, it's very difficult," Fang Wei corrected.
"Then you still say it!"
"It's definitely not difficult for me to take the test. I'm talking about how difficult it is for you."
"Ahhh! I'll strangle you to death!"
"Hey, you said you wanted to get into the same high school as me! If you don't have confidence, just give up early."
"me……"
The girl's face changed, and she finally managed to squeeze out a few words from between her teeth: "I want to get into No. 1 Middle School too! Who said I don't have confidence! It's an appointment, then it's an appointment! Who's afraid of who?"
This method of provoking someone always works on Cai Ling.
Now that she has said it, according to the theorem that Cai Ling must keep her promises, Fang Wei knows that she really cares about it now.
"Don't worry. It's difficult, but as long as you work hard and use the study methods I teach you, your grades in junior high school will definitely improve. Didn't Teacher Niu also say that you might get extra points for physical education? Isn't that your strong point, Xu Cailing?"
“I want to go to Middle School!!”
Xu Cailing tightly grasped the pen in her hand, and an unprecedented light flashed in her eyes.
