It was said that the implementation would begin within a week, and that day students were half excited and half complaining. For those excited for evening self-study, it was the first time for them to do such a thing, so it felt very fresh. Those who complained felt that they were being delayed on other things.
Jiang Wei was not in between, but he was in a good mood because he could spend a few more hours with his deskmate.
Even if the sky in October was dark, the mood became clear when you looked up. The bright starlight shone on the playground in front of the teaching building, and the light wind brushed people's cheeks through the windows, taking away the restlessness in the classroom.
Zhi Ying was very stiff, because Jiang Wei was always facing the window. Although he wasn't looking at her, Zhi Ying still felt uncomfortable.
"Classmate Jiang Wei, do you still go back to Fengyang Road in the evening?" Zhi Ying held her pen, thought for a while, and finally took the initiative to talk to Jiang Wei.
"Mhm, I will go back in the next two days. Uncle Li is already looking for other places closer to the school." Jiang Wei's eyes fell on Zhi Ying, as if he had just come out of a trance from the beauty of the starry sky.
"Oh." Zhi Ying tentatively asked, "Is there an estimation of where?"
She originally wanted to invite Jiang Wei to live on campus together, and the students living on campus could stay in the classroom for an extra half an hour. Zhi Ying wanted to find an excuse to 'deepen their relationship' with Jiang Wei.
"It should be near your side," Jiang Wei said calmly.
Zhi Ying's current home was in a well-known school district neighborhood, and she usually lived there if she wanted to live in the city. She didn't doubt Jiang Wei either.
"This way..." Seeing that her plan had been cut in half, Zhi Ying immediately came up with another idea, "You should buy a bicycle, the bus is too crowded. It would be inconvenient if Uncle Li drove you, the road is also very crowded."
After speaking, Zhi Ying felt a little guilty. There were many people in the school district, and the timing of the class and work hours clashed together. It was true that the road conditions were not good, but there was enough time to drive to the school.
However, it seemed that Jiang Wei believed it was true as he frowned slightly and said, "Is that so? I'll purchase a bicycle over the weekend."
"Mhm, it's very crowded," Zhi Ying continued to induce, "If you move over, you probably won't know the route very well. We can go together."
"That is too much trouble for you," Jiang Wei said politely, as if he was declining.
Zhi Ying quickly shook her head, "No, you used to help me bring books. We are classmates, so it is right to help each other."
What classmates? The conversation between the two made Zhao Qian, who was sitting alone in his seat, unable to finish his homework.
…
Class cadres were on duty for a week, and this week it was the turn of the English class representative to sit on the podium to supervise discipline. Thus, Zhao Qian sat alone at night.
However, the not-so-quiet whispers of the two people behind him kept pouring into his ears.
When did Zhi Ying become so annoying? Zhao Qian was full of doubts about the suddenly enthusiastic Zhi Ying.
"Okay, after I move there, we'll go to school together." Jiang Wei finally agreed.
Zhi Ying jumped in joy, she completely forgot that her driving skills were terrible, and she relied on her legs pushing the ground all the way.
They could go to and from school first, then have a heart-to-heart talk, so that she could know Jiang Wei's hobbies and various likes, then match him up. In the end, she could suggest for the two to date, which would definitely succeed.
Zhi Ying's abacus was crackling as she believed that she'd come up with a good plan. Pride welled up in her heart, and she felt that she was quite powerful.
It was just that Zhi Ying didn't know that Jiang Wei moved so fast, and the house was found and the bicycle was bought before a week had even passed.
"I live here." Jiang Wei wrote a note to Zhi Ying, "It seems to be farther than your home, then I will find you and go to school together, okay?"
"...Mhm, okay." Zhi Ying looked at the note, and her heart jumped for joy, feeling that she was one step closer to regaining the number one throne.
Zhao Qian, who heard the ins and outs of the whole matter clearly, poked his paper vigorously. Originally, it was already annoying enough not to be able to write programs at home in the evening. However these two didn't say a word to each other during the day, but they babbled constantly during evening study.
They were not dating, but it was as if the two of them were dating. Why would you go downstairs to someone's house and wait? Eight o'clock romance dramas.
Li Ge and Han Jiaojiao obviously sensed that Zhao Qian's mood was irritable, thinking that he was just upset about evening self-study.
Zhao Qian was not like Li Ge who could say a few words about everything. Apart from showing skills with his food, he preferred to keep private matters in his heart.
He couldn't say that he got angry because of the suspected "flirting" of the two behind him all day long, and Zhao Qian would never admit that it was because of jealousy.
…
Because he was in a hurry to find a room, Jiang Wei lived in a second-hand house this time. Uncle Li only had time to clean it up, replace the furniture inside with a new set, and pasted up fresh wallpaper.
"Young master, are you sure you don't need me to give you a ride?" Uncle Li stood at the door, and was ready to go out as soon as Jiang Wei said so.
"No need, Uncle Li, go do your own thing. I'll go to school by myself." Jiang Wei walked downstairs with the car lock key in his hand.
Jiang Wei's bicycle was not like the common mountain bike bought by many boys. He went to the bike shop that day and picked out the most common model with a seat in the back.
According to Jiang Wei's request, the owner also replaced the metal seat on the rear seat with a soft cushion.
Although the owner deliberately picked a rear mat that was similar in color to the bicycle, it still felt wrong when it was installed.
Even if this bike was not a mountain bike, it was still a men's model after all. The back seat was soft and thick, and it still didn't look good.
This kind of seat pad was more likely to appear on girls' bicycles, and it had to be that kind of pink and tender princess style.
…
"Dad, Mom, I'm going out." Zhi Ying picked up her schoolbag and went downstairs, and she saw Jiang Wei standing there waiting at the corner.
"Let's go." Jiang Wei pushed the bicycle calmly.
At this time, Zhi Ying also saw Jiang Wei's rear seat bike cushion, and touched it with her hands. "This one must be very comfortable to sit on. Mine is empty, and it hurts after a long time."
Sometimes Zhi Ying would sit on the back seat of the bicycle to ride, and only Zhi Ying could do this kind of childish riding.
Jiang Wei glanced at Zhi Ying's dilapidated bicycle, and talked after a moment of silence, "We can change it."
"No, my bicycle might look dilapidated, but it is very strong. I haven't repaired it even once ever since I bought it." Zhi Ying patted her bicycle with emotion.
It was just that she didn't know that sometimes she shouldn't speak too much, or she would be prone to slaps in the face.
Jiang Wei and Zhi Ying rode their bicycles towards the school. Zhi Ying was very serious about controlling the bicycle at first, but reality was too cruel. Soon Zhi Ying fell behind, still staggering.
Jiang Wei looked back and saw Zhi Ying about to fall down. Fortunately, her legs were not short, and she directly supported herself on the ground so that she would not fall down.
"What's wrong with your bicycle?" Jiang Wei thought that there was something wrong with Zhi Ying's bicycle, so he stopped his bicycle and asked her.
Zhi Ying wobbled and pedaled over, and said a little reluctantly, "It's okay, I used to ride like this before."
"Is the bicycle handlebar broken?" Jiang Wei asked, looking at Zhi Ying's handlebars. He clearly saw her crooked front when she was riding.
"The bicycle is good." Zhi Ying said with innocent eyes, "It's because I'm not good at cycling, but that's how I went to school before."
"You..." Jiang Wei's beautiful eyebrows and eyes looked particularly clean and handsome under the rising sun. He thought for a while and said, "You ride up first, and I will follow behind."
"Oh." Zhi Ying didn't understand Jiang Wei's intention, but it didn't prevent her from riding forward.
Along the way, Jiang Wei followed in fear, for fear that something would happen to Zhi Ying.
The two finally arrived at the school, and Zhi Ying locked the bicycle as usual and came out. Zhi Ying saw Jiang Wei's unsightly face and comforted him, "You're not used to this? It's okay, you will get used to it after a few more rides."
Jiang Wei said seriously, "You used to ride here like this?"
"That's right." Zhi Ying put the key into her schoolbag and patted it twice, "I've been riding this way all this time, and I'll be at school soon."
People could still see the two of them entering the school side by side, but unfortunately, no one noticed the short distance between them. They merely thought they came back from a battle somewhere.
Zhi Ying and Jiang Wei were rivals in everyone's perspective.
Zhi Ying was very excited in the morning. She felt that she was a little closer to the success of the plan, and now she only needed to further deepen the relationship between the two of them.
But Jiang Wei was not so happy, he kept replaying the appearance of Zhi Ying riding a bicycle in his mind. At that time Jiang Wei was following behind, whenever Zhi Ying's bicycle handlebar slipped, his heart skipped a beat.
A whole morning passed, after school Zhi Ying sat motionless in her seat, and tugged on Jiang Wei's hand.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Wei asked in a low voice.
"Let's go later, there are a lot of people now." Zhi Ying's eyes were still on the textbook.
"Okay, it's up to you." Jiang Wei didn't move, he sat on his seat and looked out the window.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Zhi Ying got up, "Let's go, most people should have already dispersed."
Jiang Wei followed behind as usual, but he was thinking about how to get Zhi Ying to stop riding her bicycle. She wobbled so much that Jiang Wei was worried that something would happen to her.
But he had no other position to say, so he could only follow behind Zhi Ying. He closed the distance between the two, and watched her so that nothing happened to her.
Zhi Ying didn't know that the person behind her had great doubts about her pedaling skills. She continued to happily ride the bike home, thinking about laying a solid foundation for herself to be number one in the future.
"Hiss——" Zhi Ying just unlocked her bicycle and was about to push it out, when the tire suddenly made a sound and flattened...
"Huh?" Zhi Ying squatted down and observed for a while in surprise, and finally came to the conclusion, "The tire is punctured."
"Call someone to come fix it?" Jiang Wei said, standing beside her.
Finally, Zhi Ying pushed Jiang Wei's bicycle to the outside of the school, and Jiang Wei half-carried Zhi Ying's broken bicycle.
There was a bicycle repair shop in front of the school. When Jiang Wei pushed it into the shop, the shop owner saw the bike and almost didn't recognize the model.
"This is..." The store owner examined it for a while before confirming the model of Zhi Ying's bicycle, "I'm sorry, you need to change the tires, but the model is not available. Can you come and pick it up tomorrow?"
"Oh, that's fine." Zhi Ying could only agree, she turned to look at Jiang Wei, "You go back by bike first, I'll go back by bus."
"You can sit in the back seat, and I'll take you back." Jiang Wei interfered calmly, "The bus won't be here for a while, so let's go back first."
Zhi Ying looked at Jiang Wei holding the bicycle, her eyes fell on the soft cushion of the back seat, and her heart moved.
A thick plush cushion, it must be nice to sit on! Not as bad as sitting on her backseat.
"Okay." Zhi Ying pulled the strap of her schoolbag, and decided to go back while sitting on Jiang Wei's back seat.
