Chapter 28 Fang Wei's Deskmate "Quiet, quiet, everyone, be quiet." "The Athletes' March" was turned off, the principal clapped the microphone in his hand, and the low-quality large speaker next to him emitted a harsh electric sound. "Today is the first day of our school's new fall semester, and it is also the day when our first-year junior high school students officially enter school. On behalf of the school, I would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone!" The principal paused after he finished speaking, and the students in the audience began to applaud sensibly. "On this special day, we won't do morning exercises today. Let me take this opportunity to say a few words..." have to. Generally speaking, this "just say a few words" as an opening remark means that a long speech is about to begin. Fang Wei sighed and looked up at the sky. The morning exercise class at eight o'clock was still quite hot and humid in the late summer weather.
The warm morning sun fell on the five hundred teachers and students on the track and field. Their shadows lengthened under their feet. Apart from the principal's speech, the only sound in their ears was the never-ending chirping of cicadas in summer. Fortunately, the wind was quite strong today, so Fang Wei was able to remain calm and stand. The group of young boys and girls around him seemed to be scratching their heads more often, looking left and right, looking up and down, shoveling the dirt under their feet with the tips of their shoes, and talking in a low voice to the classmates next to them. The principal started by talking about the history of the school; Then he talked about the school's high school entrance exam results this summer; Then he talked about various rules and regulations; He became more and more excited as he spoke, and the people in the audience began to feel a little tormented. Teacher Wen was standing at the front of the class. Obviously, she couldn't stand this long speech anymore. She put her hands behind her back and walked quietly to the shade of a tree. Then she turned around and looked at her students under the sun with some heartache. "Fang Wei, Fang Wei." Xu Cailing in the girls' group nearby couldn't help but whisper. "Ok?" Fang Wei heard the sound and turned to look. Xu Cailing could stand the sun, after all, helping to dry the salted fish every day was not in vain. However, such a punishment was too torturous for her who was very active. Liu Zhiyi in front of her obviously couldn't stand the sun. The sunlight fell on the girl's fair skin, which seemed to be glowing. Her face was red from the heat, and her forehead and pretty face were covered with sweat. But even so, she still stood quite steadily and motionlessly. The noise of Cai Ling calling Fang Wei from behind disturbed her. She looked at Fang Wei inadvertently, and then the two of them looked at each other for a moment. She turned her head back expressionlessly and continued to be a wooden man. "what happened?" "When you came down just now, did you look at the seating chart? Teacher Wen posted the seating chart on the bulletin board." "No, did you see it?" "I didn't see it either, that's why I'm asking you!" "We gathered right after class, who has time to watch it?" "Who do you want to sit with?" Xu Cailing asked curiously. Perhaps this is what these boys and girls are most concerned about right now?
In the past, there were fewer people in school and there was no concept of sitting at the same table. In order to prevent the few elementary school students from whispering to each other, they were quite generous and each student had a double table. Deskmate, this word is quite suggestive. "Why, you want to sit with me?" "Who wants to sit at the same table with you? I'll sit with Zhiyi!" Liu Zhiyi was so excited that her brain had stopped working. She didn't listen carefully to what the two were talking about. She just seemed to hear her own name, so she said "Huh?" in a confused manner and showed a puzzled expression. "Since the seating chart has been compiled, you can't just sit with whoever you want." "Does that mean boys sit with boys, girls sit with girls, or boys sit with girls?" "…We'll know soon." Mainly because she was free, Xu Cailing poked her head in and counted the boys and girls in the class, and was surprised to find that no matter which method was used, there would definitely be at least one boy who would sit at the same table with a girl. "There are twenty-one boys and twenty-one girls in our class, so there's one extra!" "...Xu Cailing, you are so boring." "How long will the principal talk? Doesn't he know we are basking in the sun?" "do not know." In this long morning meeting, the one who finally saved everyone was the old man who was guarding the door. It turns out that we should not underestimate the old man who rings the bell! Even though the principal on the stage was speaking passionately, the old man guarding the door continued to do what he wanted. He walked to the clock, picked up the hammer in his hand, and struck it nine times... "Ahem... I've almost finished what I've said. Each class should leave in an orderly manner!" "Bah bang bang!!" The applause at the end was louder than any time before. The third grade students who were closest to the teaching building rushed into the building like zombies, followed by the second grade students, and finally the first grade students... …… After returning to the classroom, the first thing the students did was to run to the bulletin board at the back of the classroom to check the seating arrangement. Xu Cailing's long legs were of great advantage. She rushed very fast, nimbly passing through the crowd like a loach, and returned to the class first. After her, the other students rushed up all at once. Since Cailing had gone to check the seating arrangement, Fang Wei would not join in the fun. Xu Cailing would definitely check his seat as well. Sure enough, when she squeezed out of the crowd, he knew Fang Wei's location: "Fang Wei! You sit in the fourth group, fourth row! Ah Sheng, you sit in the second group, second row!" "Ah?! Am I sitting so far in the front?" Ah Sheng was confused. "What about you?" Fang Wei asked. "Wow, I'm in the first group, fourth row..."
Wow, no wonder the girl’s expression was so complicated, it turns out that the Donghua Village team was disbanded! Liu Zhiyi sat in her temporary seat. She also wanted to see where she would sit and who she would sit with, but there were so many people squeezed in behind her that she was too embarrassed to squeeze in. She had to wait until the end to go and take a look... I wanted to ask Xu Cailing if she had seen her name, but I was also too embarrassed to ask. "Zhiyi, you and Fang Wei are at the same table! You two are both in the fourth group, fourth row!" Liu Zhiyi: “…” Fang Wei: “…” After hearing what she said, Liu Zhiyi and Fang Wei were stunned. It’s not that they didn’t want to sit at the same table with each other, they were just a little surprised. Could it be that they were the only man and woman sitting at the same table in the class? "How is it divided? Do boys and girls sit at the same table together?" Fang Wei asked curiously. "no!" "That's men and men, women and women, and then there are only me and Liu Zhiyi left?" "Neither!" "…Then how do you divide it?" Xu Cailing explained that she was not sure how the teacher arranged the seats, but anyway, there were classmates of the same sex and classmates of the opposite sex in the class, and the main idea was that gender was not important. Taking advantage of the fact that there were fewer people at the moment, Fang Wei went to the back to take a look at the seating arrangements. When Fang Wei saw that Ah Sheng's deskmate was Wang Yushan, who ranked second in the admission score, he finally guessed how Mr. Wen arranged the seats. It should be based on the admission transcript, with the first person on the list paired with the last person, the second person paired with the second to last... and so on, so that students can sit at the same table completely without regard to gender. Fang Wei’s guess was correct; this was how Wen Susu had arranged it. Firstly, it means that students with good grades can guide students with poor grades; Secondly, I hope that the male and female students in the class can be more united with each other; Primary school entrance scores don’t mean much; the key is the entire learning atmosphere in the future class. Wen Susu doesn't want a few top students; she hopes that the performance of the entire class can be improved as a whole. Of course, when deciding that Fang Wei and Liu Zhiyi would sit at the same table, Wen Susu still thought about it. After all, Liu Zhiyi was not really the last in the class, but she was a transfer student and her family had also experienced changes. It shouldn't be a problem for her to have a local student with good grades to guide her. In short, the seating arrangement is temporarily determined in this semi-random manner. …… It was class time, and there was naturally no class without textbooks. Wen Susu stood on the podium, not stopping the hustle and bustle of students below. Wen Susu had also been a student, so she naturally understood their psychology. Now, she had transformed herself into a teacher. Looking back at this group of youthful students and watching their expressions and reactions was one of the few pleasures she had. “┗|｀O′|┛Ouch~~” Xu Cailing returned to her temporary seat with a bitter look on her face: "Zhiyi, we can't sit at the same table anymore. You have to sit at the same table with Fang Wei." Seeing that the girl's plan had failed, Liu Zhiyi didn't know what to say for a moment. Liu Zhiyi didn't care who she sat at the same table with. In fact, she also wanted to sit at the same table with Xu Cailing. After all, they already knew each other. People always have a headache when making new friends. She thought for a moment and whispered, "If you want to sit at the same table with Fang Wei, I'll go talk to the teacher and we can switch."
"...I never said I wanted to sit at the same table with him. I want to sit at the same table with you!" "Um……" "Forget it, forget it. It's fine for you two to sit at the same table. Fang Wei may be boring, but he won't bully you... Oh no, Zhiyi, you are so cold and cool. I should be worried that Fang Wei will be isolated by you!" "Ah? I won't." Liu Zhiyi quickly denied it. She still couldn’t figure out what went wrong. Did she really look fierce? …… On the stage, Wen Susu clapped her hands, ending everyone's scattered discussions. "Everyone has seen the seating arrangement. If you have any suggestions, you can raise them now." "..." No one speaks. "Okay, let's just set the seats like this for now, and we'll adjust them if there are any problems later." "Now, let's get up and change seats~!" Hula la—— The class became lively again.
