The salty life in Life of Pi

Chapter 6 Morning Reading Song God
After adjusting his tie, Wu Xianyu suddenly felt as if he had returned to his previous life. At that time, he wore a suit and tie like this every day. He looked glamorous, but in fact, he was just an ox and a horse.

Jiang Tianhao, who was standing by, couldn't help but take a few steps back and folded his arms to look at Wu Xianyu. Finally, he made a suggestion.
"Xianyu, take off your glasses"

"Huh? Is that so?"

Wu Xianyu took off his glasses and squinted his eyes out of habit. Jiang Tianhao clapped his hands excitedly.
"I was wondering what you look like in this outfit. You really look like a scoundrel in this outfit."

Wu Xianyu couldn't help twisting his neck when he heard this adjective, and Jiang Tianhao became even more excited.
"Yes, yes, that's it, it's so right, this feeling"

Not wanting to argue with this fool, Wu Xianyu put on his glasses and touched his prickly hair.
"I don't know how long it will take. I don't really like this hairstyle."

"No, you look quite handsome. If my hair shape wasn't bad, I would also cut my hair into a buzz cut."

Jiang Tianhao liked it very much. When he heard that Wu Xianyu was going to stay longer, he felt a little reluctant. Wu Xianyu glanced at Jiang Tianhao

"I had a buzz cut in northern Jiangsu, and I accepted it. After all, arms can't bend thighs. It was the school's rule. But now I'm out of northern Jiangsu, and the school doesn't have any rules on hairstyles. Should I still have a buzz cut? Then I came here for nothing, didn't I?"

After hearing what Wu Xianyu said, Jiang Tianhao did not continue speaking. He just looked regretful, packed up the school uniform bag, threw it into the trash can, and walked out of the dormitory with Wu Xianyu towards the cafeteria.

After finishing his meal, Wu Xianyu was ready to go back to the dormitory. Even if he didn't sleep for a while, he could still read a novel. But Jiang Tianhao obviously didn't think so. He pulled Wu Xianyu towards the basketball court.

"Come on, come on, Xianyu, let's go play some ball. We finally have some time."

When Wu Xianyu heard the word "playing ball", he was speechless.
"Oh no, did you do that on purpose? I told you I don't like sports, but you still dragged me to play ball."

"Then just watch me fight and cheer me on."

Hearing this, Wu Xianyu shook off Jiang Tianhao's hand with a look of disgust.

"Hey~ You don't find it disgusting to let a man cheer for you, how about you transfer some money to me and I will help you find two cheerleaders."

Hearing Wu Xianyu's words, Jiang Tianhao's eyes lit up.

"Brother, if you can find Xiaoqi to cheer me up, I'll pay you any amount of money."

Wu Xianyu, who was walking side by side with Jiang Tianhao, moved away from Jiang Tianhao after hearing this, and fanned his nose with his hand.

"Where did this dog licker come from? It smells so bad."

In the end, Wu Xianyu still sat in the audience, boredly watching the people below play basketball, wishing very much that he had a mobile phone in his hand to watch short videos at this time.

When Wu Xianyu finished his third yawn, someone suddenly sat down in the empty seat next to him. He smelled a familiar fragrance and turned around to see that it was Lin Miaomiao.

"Hey, isn't this Lin Miaomiao? Why are you here to watch people play basketball instead of eating snacks in the dormitory at this time?"

Lin Miaomiao, who had eaten too much and came out to digest the food, blushed a little and changed the subject with a few words of haha
"Come out for a walk if you have nothing to do. You look pretty handsome in this outfit, but you don't look like a good person."

"Thank you. You don't have to say the last sentence. You are the third person who says that I don't look like a good person."

"Really? Who has the same vision as me? And..."

Lin Miaomiao twitched her nose twice, revealing a suspicious expression.
"Did you wear perfume? Why do I smell a fragrance?"

Wu Xianyu stared at the basketball court with his eyes drooping.

"Oh, is it still the smell of braised chicken legs? Did you get some soup stuck to your nose when you were eating just now?"

"How is that possible? I really smelled it, but I can't describe what it was. If you don't believe me, ask Xiaoqi to smell it too."

Wu Xianyu then realized that Deng Xiaoqi was also there, but she was just looking at herself in a small mirror and didn't say anything, so Wu Xianyu didn't notice her.

Deng Xiaoqi raised her head reflexively when Lin Miaomiao called her name. After hearing what Lin Miaomiao said, she rolled her eyes. How could a girl like her smell a boy without paying attention to her image?

"Okay, okay, it's my body odor, okay? Let's stop arguing about it. Haozi, look here!"

Wu Xianyu chose to divert the blame. Jiang Tianhao, who was sweating in the audience, looked in the direction of the voice and located Deng Xiaoqi's figure at a glance. His eyes suddenly lit up and the ball in his hand made a beautiful arc and fell into the net.

After the game, Jiang Tianhao couldn't wait to come to the audience. He wanted to sit next to Deng Xiaoqi, but Deng Xiaoqi saw that he was sweating and could faintly smell the sweat. She immediately reached out to stop him, and her voice was a little sharp.

"Don't come over"

Jiang Tianhao stopped awkwardly, moved around to sit next to Wu Xianyu, and boasted to the others
"How about that empty three-pointer I just shot?"

"Awesome, you are the reincarnation of Kobe Bryant"

Wu Xianyu's words were not sincere, and he perfunctorily praised Jiang Tianhao, but Jiang Tianhao wiped the sweat from his forehead with the corner of his new school uniform and looked at Wu Xianyu strangely.

"Kobe was fine, how come Kobe is still alive?"

Wu Xianyu was stunned for a moment, then remembered that Lao Da was still fine, so he waved his hand and stood up.
"I just said it casually. You've finished playing ball, so go back to the dormitory. I can't stand the smell of your sweat."

Thinking of Wu Xianyu's unsportsmanlike personality, Jiang Tianhao probably remembered the name wrong and didn't care. He just wanted to stay with Deng Xiaoqi for a while. Just when he was about to say something, Deng Xiaoqi seemed to hear the horn of liberation and pulled Lin Miaomiao to leave.

"Hey"

Jiang Tianhao stretched out Erkang's hand to try to keep her, but she finally left leisurely. He could only admire Deng Xiaoqi's back for a while longer.

On the way back to the dormitory, Jiang Tianhao looked a little lewd, grinning, and approached Wu Xianyu.

"Xianyu, have you seen Xiaoqi's long legs? Wow, so white."

"I didn't see it. I'm not as disgusting as you."

Wu Xianyu's words were without any emotion. He actually saw it, but he just glanced at it. He had seen everything. What was so good about this little girl's legs? When short videos develop in the future, won't black stockings, white stockings, and stockings in pants be more beautiful than these bare legs?

Wu Xianyu returned to the dormitory, washed up, and lay on the bed to continue reading. Jiang Tianhao, who was on the upper bunk, washed his school uniform and went to bed to continue reading his Dragon Clan. At this time, he had read the third part and said to Wu Xianyu, who was on the lower bunk,

"Xianyu, this third part is quite good, why don't you let me watch it?"

Wu Xianyu, who was in the lower bunk, sneered when he heard Jiang Tianhao say this.

"Oh, if you don't listen to the old man, you will suffer the consequences. You will cry one day."

Jiang Tianhao always felt a sense of foreboding in his heart. He closed the book, lay on the bed and looked at the bunk below.

"Brother Xianyu, please tell me why so that I can be mentally prepared."

"Just keep watching. Jiangnan has paved the way for you." Wu Xianyu would of course not tell Jiang Tianhao. After all, he still wanted to see what Jiang Tianhao's expression would be at that time.

Jiang Tianhao, who was skeptical, shrank back to the upper bunk and read the book more carefully and slower. He only read a quarter of it until the lights were turned off. There was no problem at the moment.

Jiang Tianhao originally wanted to take the book to the bathroom to continue reading, but then he remembered that he would be the first one to arrive at the playground to lead the team in morning exercises, so he had to put the book away and close his eyes.

The next day, when Jiang Tianhao woke up, he found that Wu Xianyu had already washed up and got out of bed while saying
"Damn it, I said you were a lazy guy, but you got up so early."

Wu Xianyu tied his tie and didn't even turn his head.

"Next time you try to sleep, just tell yourself what time you will get up tomorrow morning. Repeat it a few times and your brain will wake you up the next day."

This statement was actually a bit irrelevant, but Jiang Tianhao had just woken up and his mind was not so clear, so he didn't think about it and took his things to wash up.

After Jiang Tianhao walked out of the dormitory, Wu Xianyu sighed softly. The concept of not being late has been engraved in his soul. It was because of that stupid company in his previous life that required sales staff to punch in and out, and deducted money for being late, and they called it a donation, and treated everyone to dinner and KTV at the end of the month.

After Jiang Tianhao had packed up, Wu Xianyu followed him to the playground. The next step was to wait for everyone to arrive. It was so early in the morning and they hadn't started running yet, but some people's foreheads had already started to sweat under the sun.

The last few girls arrived at the team leisurely, and the school radio began to play the running music. Wu Xianyu followed at the end of the team, jogging according to his own breathing rhythm. After two laps, he was sweating slightly, but he didn't feel tired at all. At this time, Wu Xianyu finally understood why the villains in those novels would sigh that young bodies were so good after taking over other people's bodies. That was really good, and he had endless energy.

After dinner, Wu Xianyu returned to the classroom and saw Lin Miaomiao lying on the desk like a dead fish. He couldn't help but tease her.
"Hey, why is Lin Miaomiao so listless? Where's her usual spirited self?"

Lin Miaomiao opened her eyes and glanced at him, then continued to rest without saying a word. When Wu Xianyu sat down at his seat, she heard a faint voice coming from the front.

"I exercised as much this morning as I did in the previous week."

"We've only just started, don't you have a physical exam for the high school entrance exam?"

Wu Xianyu was a little confused. Looking at Lin Miaomiao like this, it seemed that she had never had a physical examination in junior high school.

Lin Miaomiao in the front row turned her head curiously

"That's just a casual pass, we didn't even have any special training."

Wu Xianyu rolled his eyes, feeling a little unbalanced.
"Our physical education teacher took over our head teacher's class to train us. The head teacher didn't dare to say a word. After all, we wouldn't be given a diploma if we didn't pass the physical test."

"Do you have any tips for running? I don't see you sweating much."

Lin Miaomiao obviously didn't notice the sourness in Wu Xianyu's words. Just now, when Wu Xianyu passed by her, there was no smell of sweat on his body. She was very envious. She lay on the table because she was tired and wanted to use the table to cool down. After all, she was a little girl and smelling of sweat would affect her image.

"What's the trick to running? Isn't it just keeping your breath and landing on the forefoot when you step down? Don't you know that?"

Lin Miaomiao looked at him eagerly, with a somewhat aggrieved expression.
“I don’t know. No one ever told me.”

Wu Xianyu twitched his lips. He didn't expect that there were people who didn't know this kind of thing that the teacher would tell them in the physical education class, so he said a few more words.

"Pay attention to your running tomorrow. Put your forefoot on the ground and keep a good breathing rhythm. At least you won't be as tired as you are now. But there is nothing you can do about sweating. Everyone has a different physique."

"I think salty fish just don't exercise much, so their sweat glands are blocked, so they don't sweat much."

Jiang Tianhao was talking nonsense on the side, Wu Xianyu glanced at him sideways without saying anything, thinking that he would wait until he finished watching the third part of Dragon Tribe to see how he would torture him.

At this time, Zhao Rongbao walked in from the front door. Seeing that the classroom was noisy and no one was reciting during the morning reading, he immediately knocked on the desk.

"Hey, what are you doing? This is morning reading, not chatting. Didn't you have Chinese class yesterday? There must be something to memorize, right?"

The audience fell silent, with the occasional sound of flipping pages, but no sound of reading was heard. Seeing this, Zhao Rongbao nodded, with an expression that said, "Don't blame me for being unjust if you are unkind," and clapped his hands.

"Come on, everyone stand up and read while standing. From now on, stand during the morning reading every day."

There was a lot of groaning in the audience, but no one dared to challenge the teacher's authority.

After he stood up, there was the first sound of reading, and the voices of the rest of the people gradually became louder. Feeling this familiar atmosphere, Wu Xianyu nodded with satisfaction.

"That's right, otherwise I won't be able to perform my morning reading singing skills."

Jiang Tianhao was still memorizing the lyrics out of boredom. He felt like he could recite them backwards. He was bored to death when he suddenly heard a singing voice.

"Who will play the song Dong Feng Po on the Pipa?

The years are peeling off the wall, and I see my childhood."

Following the direction of the voice, he found Wu Xianyu beside him humming a song with a relaxed expression. Feeling Jiang Tianhao's gaze, Wu Xianyu realized that he seemed to be excited and his voice was unconsciously a little loud. It was mainly because he realized that his voice in this body was really good. He silently lowered his voice and changed the song. Wu Xianyu was mainly because he couldn't remember the lyrics of Dong Feng Po.

“The wind here is sticky

Clinging to the thoughts of passers-by

"

"We who do not understand the torment of love, hate, and passion all think that love is as fickle as the wind and clouds."

Wu Xianyu looked at Jiang Tianhao beside him in dumbfounded. He had just started the chorus when the idiot next to him sang the lyrics. What's more, the most important thing was that his voice was quite loud. At least everyone around him looked over.

As soon as he closed his eyes and covered the book, Wu Xianyu felt a headache. Where did this fool come from?

Jiang Tianhao shamelessly touched Wu Xianyu with his arm.

"How about it, Xianyu, I sang well, didn't I?"

Sighing, not wanting to get angry with such a fool, Wu Xianyu responded perfunctorily.

"Yeah, the high notes are sweet, the middle notes are accurate, and the low notes are deep. In a nutshell."

“It’s transparent”

Hearing another voice, Wu Xianyu looked forward in astonishment. It was indeed Lin Miaomiao. Seeing Wu Xianyu looking over, Lin Miaomiao raised her eyebrows proudly.
"Hehe, I've also watched Infernal Affairs."

"Yes, yes, you have seen it, you are awesome, but could you please stop turning your head? Lao Zhao has been staring at you for quite some time."

Hearing Wu Xianyu's reminder, Lin Miaomiao quickly turned around and peeked over the top of the book. She found that Lao Zhao was indeed staring at her seriously. She quickly buried her head back in the book, looking at the poem she had memorized, and remembered the singing of Wu Xianyu she had just heard.
"This kid's singing is pretty good, but it's a pity that he was disturbed by Jiang Tianhao"
