Chapter 30 Ostrich crabs, a small parting (2)(1/2)
As he was talking, the girl with pigtails screamed in surprise: "Wow! Gu Mingxi, you have two tiger teeth, so cute!"
Pang Qian had already handed the kettle to Gu Mingxi's mouth. She slowly fed him with the kettle slanted. The girl next to him looked at them quietly. Pang Qian suddenly made it bad. When the kettle slanted, the water poured out. Gu Mingxi had no time to hide. Her face, neck and front of the camouflage uniform were wet, and she was choked by the water and coughed a few times.
He looked very embarrassed, but Pang Qian looked at him innocently: "I'm sorry, my hands trembled."
Gu Mingxi knew that she was intentional and glared at her angrily. Pang Qian grimaced at him, and turned around and ran away with the kettle in satisfaction.
The girl with pigtail frowned and looked at Pang Qian's back and muttered in a low voice: "Why is she like this?"
Seeing that Gu Mingxi's clothes were wet, she took out a tissue to help him wipe it. Gu Mingxi stood up and avoided it and said, "No need to wipe it. It's hot and it will dry soon."
The girl shrank her hand in disappointment and asked, "Is that classmate just now your girlfriend?"
She asked so bluntly, and Gu Mingxi certainly denied: "No."
"I think you have a good relationship. You are all together. You chat together during military training, and you are all deskmates in the classroom."
"Ah, yes." Gu Mingxi felt sweat slipping down her cheeks, twisted her neck and rubbed her shoulders, and said, "I grew up with her since childhood. We are neighbors, and she is like my sister."
After finally reaching the end of the training, Pang Qian was almost exhausted. When she walked out of the school gate with Gu Mingxi, she turned around and entered a convenience store, lay on the freezer and picked up ice cream.
He chose a chocolate cone in a very entangled manner. Pang Qian took it to the counter to pay the bill. As soon as he took out a five-dollar bill, the boss pointed to Gu Mingxi standing next to him and said, "This classmate has paid."
After saying that, he stuffed the money into Gu Mingxi's pants pocket.
Pang Qian licked the cone and said with a pout, "I would have chosen an expensive one if I had known."
Gu Mingxi smiled with his lips pursed.
They walked to the bus stop together, and Pang Qian asked Gu Mingxi: "What's the name of the girl just now?"
"Xiao Yujing."
Pang Qian was stunned: "I'm talking about the one who had braids later."
"Oh, Jiang Zhiya."
Pang Qian glanced at him: "Huh? Gu Mingxi, do you remember the girl's name very well?"
"I remember the boy's name as much as I can."
"It's more obvious if you want to cover it up!"
"Hey! Isn't this word used in this way?"
On the No. 31 bus home, I was very lucky that they got two seats in the back row and trained for a day with great intensity. As the bus swayed, Pang Qian began to doze off.
Her head swayed, Gu Mingxi watched her lean towards him a little, and quietly put her shoulders over. Pang Qian's head touched his shoulders, and her body gradually relaxed, leaned on his shoulder and fell asleep.
Gu Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief and turned to look out the window. The young girl was breathing evenly on his shoulders. Her eyelashes were slender and her little nose was erect. Gu Mingxi suddenly felt that Jiuzhan Road was too close.
It would be better to have nineteen stops.
There is a canteen in E City No. 1 Middle School. The students’ lunches are not solved in the classroom like they did in junior high school, but instead they recharge their meal cards to go to the canteen to eat.
Pang Qian took on the job of helping Gu Mingxi get food. The two of them lined up to the window, and she handed over two lunch boxes: "One two taels of meal, and the other four taels of meal."
"Whoever eats two liang, you need a braised rice, a stir-fried vegetable, and a poached egg."
"Who needs a salted chicken leg for four liang rice... Gu Mingxi, do you want scrambled eggs with tomatoes or dried kitchen beans?"
Gu Mingxi: "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes."
Pang Qian smiled at the master who was making food: "Scrambled eggs with tomatoes, uncle, give me more eggs!"
She was looking for a seat with Gu Mingxi with two lunch boxes, and she met someone.
"Xie Yi!"
Xie Yi turned around and waved his hand when he saw Pang Qian and Gu Mingxi: "Hi, crab, Gu Mingxi! Oh, you guys find a seat and have a meal together!"
The three of them placed the lunch box on a table and chatted while eating. The tables and chairs in the cafeteria were quite convenient for Gu Mingxi. He put his right foot on the table, his toes were clamped with a spoon, and his head was lowered to the next to the lunch box. The food was pushed into his mouth.
Pang Qian already knew that Xie Yi was in Class 1 (8) of high school, and asked: "Do you have our former classmates in your class?"
Xie Yi shook his head: "No one. I read the roster that day. In our previous class (6), there were only five people who were admitted to No. 1 Middle School. Ling Tao was in Class (4), and Wang Chenfei was in Class (9).
"Ah, I'm not familiar with each other." Pang Qian felt a little regretful, "Sun Mingfang didn't do well in the exam, and she also had a first-time high. Her score was not enough, so she was transferred to Pu Gao. Alas Gu Mingxi, did Jian Zhe also fill in the first-time high?"
Gu Mingxi nodded: "Well, I'm three points short of it and I didn't pass the exam."
Pang Qian sighed: "What a pity, his grades have always been better than mine."
Xie Yi said: "Do you know? The most crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and I heard that the top five students who entered the No. 1 Middle School this year were all in Class (2)."
Pang Qian was stunned: "Is Class (2) a fast class?"
"Then I don't know, but it won't be that coincidence." Xie Yi said, "The top five are all in the same class. You will know when the test is taken."
Pang Qian suddenly had an unknown premonition in her heart. She thought of the English self-introduction. Most of the students in the class spoke very well, and she didn't understand it very much. God! She wouldn't have been "approved" to Class (2) because of Gu Mingxi!
After dinner, Pang Qian and Xie Yi went to wash the lunch box together, and Gu Mingxi was waiting for them outside the cafeteria.
There were people beside the sink. When queuing, Xie Yi said to Pang Qian: "Gu Mingxi was there just now. I don't want to ask you about something. Crab, are you interested in joining the school table tennis team?"
"Ah?!" Pang Qian was extremely surprised, "I? I am such a rookie!"
"You are no longer a rookie. I went to the team to practice yesterday. You know, table tennis is the characteristic of No. 1 Middle School. As a result, there are not many good-quality teams in the team. You will never be at the bottom when you go on the game."
Pang Qian was moved: "How to join?"
"If you want to register, there will be a selection competition. The admission ratio is about three to one, which is not difficult."
Pang Qian blinked: "Do you think I can pass the trial?"
"You use your crab serve to eat them!" Xie Yi said with a smile, "Rampant and invincible!"
Pang Qian is an action-oriented person, and the next day he submitted her registration application as Xie Yi’s prompt.
Gu Mingxi did not comment on her behavior, but said, "I will go to see your game at that time."
Gu Mingxi did not attend the military parade on the last day of the military training. He was too eye-catching in the square, which was not conducive to the class's ranking. Although Teacher Dai asked him to participate, Gu Mingxi still withdrew automatically.
He sat in the stands beside the playground and was a qualified audience. When he saw Pang Qian walking in the queue, she was not tall, and ranked second to last in that row from short to tall.
She walked hard, full of energy, and proudly held her chest, looking very well.
It was Xie Yi's turn to enter the class. Gu Mingxi saw Xie Yi as the flag bearer. When he passed by the rostrum, he started and walked in a straight walk. Xie Yi "brushed" the flag of the class and walked in the sun with his head held high.
He is really handsome, Gu Mingxi has to admit it.
The day after the military training, the selection of new members of the No. 1 Middle School table tennis team was held. Gu Mingxi went to watch Pang Qian's game, Zhou Nanzhong and Wang Song also went, and even Jiang Zhiya. Of course, she followed Gu Mingxi.
Pang Qian was very nervous, and Xie Yi guided her on the sidelines: "It's not good for you to play stalemate, try to use the serve to eat her. The winner will be within three beats. Don't play after three beats, and it's useless to waste your energy." Xie Yi approached Pang Qian, "Just try your luck and beat the angle to the point. The opponent is also nervous. Seeing that you think you are a master."
Pang Qian: "What do you mean is I am actually a rookie?"
Xie Yi laughed: "Not a rookie, at most it's a vegetable crab. Let me tell you, you might as well learn from Deng Yaping to play basketball, and overwhelm them in momentum. Crab, you are my apprentice, don't embarrass your master."
Pang Qian blushed: "What should I do if I lose?"
"If you lose, you lose. Anyway, I'm in the team from now on, come to me if you want to play." Xie Yi handed her the racket, "Use my racket. Anyway, if you don't recognize it, my racket will definitely be better than the unified racket in the school."
After hearing Xie Yi's teachings, Pang Qian went on the court with great confidence. She served first, and played the racket like Xie Yi. Suddenly, screaming "ah", which scared the girl opposite the table.
Then, she sent the ball out.
It was Xie Yi who taught her serving skills. He pulled the beat gently and the ball hit the corner of the table with a turn. The girl didn't even move.
"Ah!" Pang Qian screamed with her fist, jumping around, with the style of a professional table tennis player.
Xie Yi almost fainted from the side. Gu Mingxi was sweating and his mouth twitched. Wang Song joked: "I really didn't see that Xiaoqian plays so well."
In the first game, the opponent was almost scared by Pang Qian. Pang Qian got off the court happily, hit Xie Yi, and then ran to Gu Mingxi, drank half a bottle of water, and said happily: "Gu Mingxi! I won!"
Jiang Zhiya curled her lips from the side: "You can hear the whole stadium."
Pang Qian raised her chin: "This is called momentum, you don't understand."
But in the second game, Pang Qian's momentum was useless. The opponent's girl obviously had a superior ball skills and a steady style. Pang Qian's screams could not scare her, nor could she win her within three shots, and she soon lost the game.
She returned the racket to Xie Yi dejectedly, and Xie Yi said: "It's okay, I'll help you fight for it from the coach."
Gu Mingxi looked at Pang Qian with red eyes, and she looked a little unbearable. He sighed and said, "Don't be sad, victory or defeat is common in military affairs. You have never practiced before, so it's already good to enter the second round."
Pang Qian looked at him depressedly. Gu Mingxi thought for a while and whispered in her ear while no one was paying attention: "I'll give you a better table tennis racket in a few days, you can practice well. Next year, the old team member will leave the team, so you can try again."
Pang Qian: "A good table tennis racket is very expensive."
"Um..." Gu Mingxi said, "Just treat it as an advance to pay for next year's birthday gift."
"My birthday just passed this year!" Pang Qian jumped up, "The Christmas gift is almost the same!"
"Okay, Christmas gift." Gu Mingxi smiled at her.
As a result, before Gu Mingxi could buy a table tennis racket, Xie Yi had already brought good news to Pang Qian. After communication, Pang Qian was admitted to the table tennis team.
Pang Qian was in a great mood and felt that high school life was so wonderful. But then, her mood fell to the bottom. After the formal class, No. 1 Middle School conducted a survey exam for freshmen in high school. After the results came out, Pang Qian finally knew what chicken head and phoenix tail mean.
She finally believed that the top five of her grades were in their class.
Xiao Yujing ranked first in the grade with her impeccable Chinese, English scores and stable math, physics and chemistry scores. The second place was a boy named Wu Min, while Gu Mingxi was only fourth in the grade.
As for Pang Qian, among the 52 students in the class, she took the exam gorgeously - the last one.
