Although he had already registered at school the previous Friday and collected his textbooks, Jiang Zhihan did not dare to slack off on Monday. After all, no one wanted to be caught as a model on the first day of school. The flag-raising ceremony every Monday morning was a tradition of Zhongzhou Seventh High School. The flag-raising ceremony began at 7:30 pm. At 7:20 pm, more than 2,000 people from the six grades had already packed the basketball court. The flag-raising ceremony of Zhongzhou Seventh High School was generally divided into three parts. The first part was to raise the national flag and play the national anthems. The flag-bearers and flag-protectors were selected by each class, and the classes above the second grade took turns to play the role. This was also considered an honor. The flag-bearers and flag-protectors were mostly outstanding cadres of their respective classes, top students, and winners of competitions. After the flag-raising ceremony, it was naturally the leader's speech. Other than the opening ceremony, graduation ceremony, National Day, and other important occasions, the principal did not appear often. The director of the student affairs office and the academic affairs office were frequent visitors. They would usually announce some new rules, activity arrangements, and other matters. As for the third part, it was all kinds of commendation, from scholarship to various honorary certificates.
After the flag-raising ceremony, the principal gave a speech for the new year. It was nothing more than a speech about the rapid development of the school, the prosperity of the country's society, and the need for all students to study hard. He removed a few words related to practical matters, and the rest could probably be repeated for ten years. After the principal's speech, it was the award ceremony for the first, second, and third prize winners of last year's final exam. There were more than 500 people in each grade, but only 12 of them won the award. Two first prize winners, four second prize winners, and six third prize winners. Of course, Jiang Zhihan did not get a share. He was ranked around 14th or 15th in class last year, so he should be around 90th to 100th in the entire grade.
After the scholarship was awarded, Jiang Zhihan was already preparing for the ceremony to end. He turned around and left when he suddenly heard his name being called. He suspected that he had heard wrongly. The higher-ups called him again, and this time, they even added the class number. A classmate standing next to him poked him."I'm calling you." Jiang Zhihan jogged onto the stage. It was a " Heroic Spiritual Civilization Award ". The teacher who presented the award said that he had stepped forward bravely and stopped several criminals from beating the victims with weapons. The spirit of heroism was an important part of the school's spiritual civilization construction. Jiang Zhihan took the certificate and the prize in a daze. It was a fountain pen.
This was the last procedure of the day. When Jiang Zhihan stepped down from the stage, the students had already started to disperse. A few male classmates came over to ask what was going on. Jiang Zhihan was not familiar with a few of them, so he just gave them a few perfunctory words and did not say anything. One of the boys who liked to spread gossip was surnamed Xue. People sometimes called him Loudspeaker Xue behind his back, mocking him for spreading gossip everywhere. The megaphone Xue said mysteriously to Jiang Zhihan,""This is not good news. The real good news is still to come.”Seeing that he had attracted everyone's attention with just one sentence, the megaphone Xue was very proud. He continued,"Didn't twelve of our students go to the humanities class this year? Another 13 people were assigned to the class. Jiang Zhihan, didn't your deskmate go to the humanities class? Do you know who your new deskmate is?"
Starting from the second year of high school, No. 7 High School began to split the humanities and science classes. Those who were determined to take the humanities major were concentrated in two humanities classes, while two of the original classes were split up and assigned to other classes. The basic principle was that the few classes that were not split up had to accept a similar number of new students with similar grades and rankings. Seventh High School did not prohibit male and female students from sharing the same table. On the contrary, the ratio of male and female students sharing the same table was higher than that of two boys or two girls. However, Jiang Zhihan's former deskmate, Wen Qiang, who was now in the humanities class, was a boy.
"Is she a beauty?" Listening to the tone of the loudspeaker Xue, everyone's guess was the same. " This news is definitely first-hand," the trumpet speaker Xue said proudly." It's insider news. It's fresh and true." You have to treat me to ice cream." Jiang Zhihan didn't want to dampen his spirits, so he said briefly,""Alright." "Once isn't enough. Five times."”"Kao, I'll know in five minutes if you don't tell me," Jiang Zhihan said angrily.”"Alright then, I'll tell you. It's Ni Shang."”He dragged out his voice and made a powerful gesture to emphasize the effect."Ni Shang."
Who was Ni Shang? In the first year of high school, she was the head of the student council, the class monitor, and the outstanding student leader since she was young. Although her grades were not the best, she was always ranked in the top three of the class. The scholarship winner this time happened to be ranked twelfth. He could play the piano and was often the announcer of the grade's cultural activities and the conductor of the chorus. Of course, none of these could compare to the last one. She was very beautiful.
In the first year of high school, she was lucky enough to be nominated for the top ten beauties of the year, ranked eighth. Of course, there were also some different voices. Some people strongly believed that Ni Shang was just above average in terms of looks. It was just that her aura of being the leader and the top gave her a lot of points. According to Seventh High's tradition, the head of the student council was usually a second-year student. The term of office was one year. As the third year of high school was too busy, he needed to focus on the college entrance examination. As for the first year of high school, he was not qualified enough. Everyone acknowledged that the new head of the student council would not be able to escape from Ni Shang.
Of course, the boys would make some jokes that were common among high school boys, such as good luck, good luck in love, and being close to the water. Of course, there were also some who said that the leader might not be lucky enough to enjoy it. The one in the middle called Huang Sheng suddenly whispered,"Ni Shang doesn't have a good reputation either. I know her classmates in junior high school. I heard that she has a nickname called Big Sister.”Jiang Zhihan had never liked Huang Sheng. He felt that this person had a gloomy personality and always spoke harshly. Jiang Zhihan had always thought that being mean was a girl's nature.
The word 'elder sister' was not a good word in a certain context in that era of Zhongzhou Province. It didn't mean the head sister of a mafia with high prestige. Instead, it was a subtle hint that a girl's style was not very proper. Of course, there was still a gap from being lewd, but this word generally implied that girls were a little careless in their interactions with boys and did not pay attention to their behavior.
Jiang Zhihan did not know Ni Shang. Although this name was well-known, she should be considered one of the most famous students in his grade and even in the entire school. He had seen it from afar, mostly at the summit, like today's occasion, but he didn't have much of an impression. In Jiang Zhihan's impression, Ni Shang was indeed a pretty girl, but he did not have a clear picture of her appearance in his mind. However, Jiang Zhihan did not like it when a few boys slandered a girl behind her back. Huang Sheng had never been in the same class as Ni Shang and was not familiar with her at all. Why should he spread such unpleasant rumors everywhere?
Jiang Zhihan frowned and said in disgust,""You don't even know her. It's rude to talk about her behind her back.”Huang Sheng didn't expect Jiang Zhihan to rebuke him, and his face immediately darkened. Jiang Zhihan ignored him and quickened his pace, leaving him behind. He heard Huang Sheng deliberately say loudly from behind,""What the hell? We haven't even shared a table yet, and you're already a toad lusting after swan meat.”Strangely, Jiang Zhihan did not have the urge to turn around and beat him up. Instead, he felt that he was a little childish and laughable. He shook his head. He felt that he was no longer on the same mental wave as the childish second-year high school boys.
When they arrived at the classroom, there was still some time before the first class started. This was because there was no morning self-study on the first day of school. Jiang Zhihan had just sat down and put away his bag when he saw a girl walk in and walk towards the seat beside him. Jiang Zhihan immediately realized that she was Ni Shang and could not help but size up his new deskmate.
Ni Shang was about medium height. She was wearing an ordinary white T-shirt, light blue jeans, and sneakers. She was carrying a school bag and dressed simply and refreshing. There was no trace of makeup on her face. Her hair was combed back and braided. Her face was a little round, but not fat. Instead, it looked a little round. His facial features were very standard. The most attractive thing was his eyes, which were big and spirited. Her skin was very fair and had a delicate feeling. At first glance, although she was not breathtaking, she did not live up to her title of beauty.
Ni Shang walked to her seat and sat down. She introduced herself,"I'm Ni Shang, your new deskmate.”Jiang Zhihan smiled and said,"Your name is like thunder." I'm Jiang Zhihan. Nice to meet you.”Ni Shang said,"I'm new to this class. I don't really know my classmates and teachers. Please take care of me."”Jiang Zhihan maintained his smile and said,""I've already been here for a year, and I don't really know many people, so let's take care of each other.”
Ni Shang had a good impression of Jiang Zhihan's indifferent and generous behavior. She put away her things and thought for a moment before saying,"Teacher Zhang (form teacher) was very polite when he asked for my opinion on the seating arrangement for this class change. I just said your name. I don't know if you have any objections?”Obviously, not every student had the right to choose a deskmate. This was the form teacher's special treatment for Ni Shang. This time, Jiang Zhihan was really surprised. He looked at Ni Shang with a questioning gaze."Have we met before?" Ni Shang smiled and shook her head,"Strictly speaking, it doesn't count." However, my cousin's mother works in a printing factory. A few days ago, she told me about how you were framed for helping that old lady. I told my father about it, and he lamented that the world was getting worse and worse, and that behavior like yours was becoming less and less, and that it should be encouraged rather than stifled. I saw your name on Friday and thought you would be a good deskmate.”Jiang Zhihan smiled and said,"Please allow me to prove with my actions that your decision is extremely wise."”Ni Shang smiled and asked about the development of the matter. Jiang Zhihan told her the details in detail, including how he found Shanshan and Xiao Qin, how he published the article, and how someone came out to testify. Of course, there were many things that the newspapers would not write about. Ni Shang listened attentively and gained a new understanding of the boy sitting at the same table. As for Jiang Zhihan, he was calm and mature. He couldn't help but show off in front of the new beautiful deskmate. If it was someone else, he would probably only be able to briefly explain it with a few words and would not explain it in such detail.
The first class was the homeroom teacher's. As expected, Ni Shang was appointed as the temporary class monitor as soon as she arrived, and the official adjustment of the class committee was scheduled for two weeks later. After the second period, there was a 30-minute break. Jiang Zhihan went downstairs to look for Gu Wangshan so that he could make an appointment with him to return the bike to him. When they reached the first-year floor, they asked a few random people, but they all said they didn't know. Therefore, he asked a teacher to check the last grade office. It was in class five. He went to the entrance of Class Five and asked someone. That person said,"I don't know Gu Wangshan." He asked two more questions, but the answer was still the same. Jiang Zhihan was a little puzzled. He walked straight into the classroom and walked around. He really did not see Gu Wangshan. He had no choice but to return to his classroom first.
Just as he returned to his seat, Ni Shang walked over and said,"Can you do me a favor? He had to go to the Teaching Department to get an updated set of moral education materials.”Jiang Zhihan did not say much. He stood up and said,""Let's go. There were only 15 minutes left until the next class.”The two of them walked down the stairs side by side and headed for class. When they passed by the convenience store, Ni Shang said,"I'll treat you to ice cream tomorrow. Thank you for your help.”Jiang Zhihan smiled." Alright, the emperor won't send hungry soldiers."”After a pause, he said," Being a class monitor sounds very impressive, but it seems to be tiring. I have to pay for my own business to treat people to ice cream. It's a bit of a loss.”Ni Shang said,"There are really a lot of complicated things. Have you ever been a class cadre?"”Jiang Zhihan shook his head.”Ni Shang looked at Jiang Zhihan and said seriously,""Actually, many people don't like class committee members now, but I think there are some things in the class that need to be done by someone.”The girl in front of him pursed her lips, and her face reflected the morning sun. There was a serious and slightly stubborn look in her eyes. Jiang Zhihan looked at her and felt a little touched. He said in his heart, I will never believe those boring rumors.”
When school ended in the afternoon, Jiang Zhihan was congratulated by at least seven or eight people for being lucky in love. He got Ni Shang to be his deskmate, including a few classmates from other classes that he knew. It was as if becoming Ni Shang's deskmate had made Jiang Zhihan a celebrity in the class. After school in the afternoon, Jiang Zhihan asked his best friend, Chu Mingyang, to go home with him. Chu Mingyang spent almost the entire summer vacation in Lingnan Province, where his uncle's family lived. It was warm in winter and cool in summer. It was indeed a good place to avoid the heat. The two of them had not seen each other for a few months. Of course, they had to get together and have a good talk. Jiang Zhihan and Chu Mingyang's houses were not exactly on the same road, but according to the old rules, the two of them chose the middle road and walked together for a while before breaking up and going their separate ways.
Chu Mingyang couldn't help but joke with him.""Ni Shang! Can you take it?"
In front of him, Jiang Zhihan didn't hide anything and said honestly,""My first impression of her is quite good.”
"Did you get hit by Comrade Cupid's arrow?" Chu Mingyang laughed.”
Jiang Zhihan said disdainfully,"It's not like you don't know. I've never believed in love at first sight.”
"What kind of good impression?" Chu Mingyang asked. Tell me."
"Don't you think that most of the beautiful girls here are as arrogant as idiots?" Jiang Zhihan asked. Ni Shang is considered a beauty. Her grades are good, and she's outstanding in all aspects. However, she's polite and polite to others. She's neither servile nor overbearing. I think she's quite educated.”
"I heard you had an argument with Huang Sheng this morning?" Chu Mingyang asked.”
Jiang Zhihan said,"Isn't that rotten person like that?" I couldn't be bothered with him. You have a foul mouth." So, he told Chu Mingyang what Huang Sheng had said and asked,""Weren't you in the same class as Ni Shang in junior high? How can there be such a saying?"
Chu Mingyang pondered for a while and replied,""I'm really not familiar with her. They had been classmates for three years, but they had only spoken a few dozen sentences. You know that I'm always eloquent in front of you. I don't have much in common with girls. However, I've heard of her nickname before. Thinking about it, it was probably just some people being sour grapes.”
After a while, she said,"I was on good terms with Zeng Xuran at that time." Zeng Xuran's grades were also one of the best in the class. He seemed to have a good impression of Ni Shang at one point, but it was over. He once told me that Ni Shang was a very powerful girl. She was good with everyone, but she kept her distance from everyone. It was impossible to get closer. At that time, there were people in our class who said that Zeng Xuran, Xu Liang, and Zhou Zhou all liked Ni Shang, but Ni Shang was just as good as them. They were talking about distance diplomacy. Everyone joked that the three of them were considered the most influential figures among the boys in their class. They were in an equinox triangle, and Ni Shang was in the middle.”
Jiang Zhihan scolded," You guys are f * cking mature. We don't even know anything in junior high, and you're already talking about a love triangle."”
"I say, when did our seminar become Ni Shang's seminar?" asked Chu Mingyang. I think you're really interesting."
Jiang Zhihan said,"We have to be deskmates for two years." I'm just doing a background check. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you be undefeated in a hundred battles.”
