The salty life in Life of Pi

Chapter 8 Haozi, look at this beef jerky, does it look like
After class, Lin Miaomiao shuddered as she heard Wu Xianyu talk about how he was manipulated by his head teacher.
"Hiss, Lao Zhao's move is really ruthless. No wonder everyone signed up for the club. I noticed that other classes also signed up for the club, so why did everyone in our class sign up?"

"As the head teacher of the grade, we are the head teacher of the first grade, and we have to be the leader of the whole grade and do everything to the best of our ability."

Jiang Tianhao obviously saw through it. With his hands in his pockets, he told Lao Zhao what he was thinking.

Seeing Deng Xiaoqi following Lin Miaomiao without saying a word, Jiang Tianhao quietly approached
"Well, I'll treat you to dinner in the cafeteria tonight. You can eat whatever you want."

Deng Xiaoqi, who lowered her head, couldn't help but frowned when she heard Jiang Tianhao's words, and said impatiently while looking at her fingernails.

"No, I'm not going to eat tonight, I'm going back to the dormitory to take a shower."

After saying that, without waiting for Jiang Tianhao to stop her, Deng Xiaoqi let go of Lin Miaomiao's hand.

"I'm back to the dormitory, Miaomiao"

"Ah, okay, hehe."

Lin Miaomiao smiled foolishly and let go of Deng Xiaoqi. Wu Xianyu beside her said quietly:

"Lin Miaomiao, your smile is really vulgar. I even doubt whether you are a vulgar uncle in your heart."

"No way, I'm just a little girl. But who doesn't like a beauty like Xiaoqi? Especially those legs, which reach my chest, and are so white and smooth."

Jiang Tianhao looked at Lin Miaomiao with envy, and Wu Xianyu couldn't help but push Lin Miaomiao
"Wipe your mouth, your saliva is coming down"

"Ah? Oh, ok, thank you."

Lin Miaomiao came back to her senses and subconsciously wiped the corner of her mouth, but found nothing. She raised her head to look at Wu Xianyu, but found that the man had walked away without her knowing.

Wu Xianyu, who was blackmailed for a dinner because of his shamelessness, returned to the dormitory and did not go to the playground. He lay on the bed and read a novel.

As the sky gradually darkened, Jiang Tianhao returned to the dormitory covered in sweat. He took a shower in the bathroom, then hurriedly lay down on his bed to continue reading the novel he had not finished.

Hearing Jiang Tianhao flipping the pages of a book, Wu Xianyu silently put down his novel and waited for the scene he was expecting to happen.

Listening to Jiang Tianhao turning the pages of the book slower and slower, he kept uttering various onomatopeia and asked Wu Xianyu from time to time, but Wu Xianyu didn't answer.

Finally, not long before the lights were turned off, Jiang Tianhao sat up from the bed with his eyes wide open, as if he couldn't believe what he saw. He hurriedly turned a few pages of the book and began to read carefully. As a result, the lights in the dormitory went out.

"Depend on"

Jiang Tianhao vented his dissatisfaction, jumped down from the upper bunk, and rushed to the bathroom with a book in his hand.

Looking at Jiang Tianhao's figure, Wu Xianyu felt a little emotional in his heart. He was the same at that time. He didn't believe what he saw and even thought he had bought a pirated book. But after many sweet-mouthed netizens in later generations greeted the old thief Jiangnan, Wu Xianyu was relieved. The bad guy couldn't save Eri, just like Jiangnan could never catch up with his senior sister.

Seeing Jiang Tianhao coming back in a daze, Wu Xianyu felt a little sorry for him. When he was watching the show, the Internet was already very developed and he could see spoilers at any time, so he was mentally prepared. But Jiang Tianhao had been kept in the dark by him, and he didn't know if he could fall asleep tonight.

Sure enough, the next morning, seeing Jiang Tianhao standing on the playground with a haggard face, Wu Xianyu couldn't bear it anymore and stepped forward to ask with concern
"Why don't you take a day off today and say that you had a stomachache and couldn't sleep last night. Your behavior is quite genuine."

"Xianyu, why do you think the author must write Eri's death? Do you think he has mental problems? I want to meet him. Do you have any way?"

Jiang Tianhao was obviously lost in his own thoughts. Considering his body and mind, Wu Xianyu told him the story of Jiang Nan's unrequited love for his senior sister while there was still time. Regardless of whether this story was true or not, it was a good story if it could comfort readers who had been hurt by Jiang Nan.

After hearing this, Jiang Tianhao was obviously in better spirits, with a smile on his face.
"Thanks, Xianyu, I should have listened to you and shouldn't have continued watching."

“Look, people have to thank me.”

Wu Xianyu pointed at Jiang Tianhao who was walking towards the inner circle of the playground and said to Lin Miaomiao who had just arrived with a smile:

"Tsk tsk, this is what it means to be sold and still help count the money."

Seeing Jiang Tianhao like a lost dog, Lin Miaomiao couldn't help but click her tongue twice, then turned to look at Wu Xianyu.

"By the way, what do you think of the novel Dragon Clan?"

Wu Xianyu recalled his feelings when he read the novel and thought about it.

"I just think it's a very twisted novel. At least I don't like the character of the protagonist. You should have been able to see it during this period. I am a person who will not let myself suffer any loss, so it is difficult for me to get into the novel of Dragon Clan. Even when Eri died at the end, I was only depressed for a day. After changing to another book, I didn't have any emotions anymore."

Lin Miaomiao nodded in conviction

"Yeah, it fits your personality very well. I also felt it was very twisted when I watched it, and I couldn't get into it. I watched it several times before I finished it. Because the emotions were not coherent, I didn't feel anything in the end."

The two had not been chatting for long when the school's exercise bell rang.

Jiang Tianhao still looked depressed when he returned to the classroom. Lin Miaomiao took out her beef jerky and handed it to Jiang Tianhao.

"Haozi, don't be sad, it's all fiction. Come, eat some beef jerky to calm down."

Watching Jiang Tianhao slowly taking the beef jerky, Wu Xianyu suddenly thought of a hell joke he had seen in his previous life. If a hell joke is not shared, it is still a joke. So, Wu Xianyu cleared his throat and whispered to Jiang Tianhao:
"Haozi, look at this beef jerky, does it look like Eri who has had his blood drained out?"

Jiang Tianhao's hand stopped in mid-air, and he didn't move any further. Even Lin Miaomiao stared at Wu Xianyu with wide eyes. Finally, Jiang Tianhao couldn't help but shouted weakly at Wu Xianyu.
"Salted fish! You deserve to die!"

After saying that, he stood up shakily and walked out of the classroom to ask for leave from his head teacher.

After Jiang Tianhao left, Lin Miaomiao looked at the bag of beef jerky in her hand and didn't know whether she should eat it or not. In the end, she handed the whole bag to Wu Xianyu and said,

"Your mouth is like poison. Every old thief from Jiangnan would become your disciple if he saw you."

Wu Xianyu, who got a bag of beef jerky for free, didn't care about what Lin Miaomiao said. After all, he was standing on the shoulders of many future netizens, so this little bit of attack power was nothing.

As soon as the morning reading class started, Lao Zhao walked into the classroom and said something.
"Students, please take care of your health recently. It's easy to get sick during the season change, especially for girls. Drink more hot water and get more rest during this special period. Don't be like Jiang Tianhao, who was the sports committee member but had a stomachache and couldn't sleep all night because of a bad meal."

This caused laughter among the students in the audience. After that, morning reading began. Everyone in the classroom stood up, took out their English books and started reading.

After a brief taste of the song yesterday, Wu Xianyu wanted to try to find the limit of his voice today. He remembered the only song he remembered the lyrics of, "Mr. Lonely", a song he always ordered when he went to KTV in his previous life. Although he couldn't sing it, he just liked it.

Keeping time for himself, Wu Xianyu covered his face with a book

".I can, it doesn't matter
Lonely but keep shedding tears"

After singing the song, Wu Xianyu felt his throat was a little dry. He drank some hot water to calm his excitement. Then he finally sang the song in the KTV.

"What's the name of the song you just sang?"

Just after putting down the cup, Wu Xianyu suddenly heard a voice. He looked up and saw Lin Miaomiao looking at him with surprise. Seeing Wu Xianyu looking at her, she chuckled and said, "I think it sounds good. I'm going to go home and listen to the original version."

After swallowing the water in his mouth, Wu Xianyu cleared his throat and was about to answer, but after thinking for a while, he pulled out a note, wrote the singer and song title on it, and handed it to Lin Miaomiao.

Lin Miaomiao took the note and put it away solemnly, then asked Wu Xianyu in a low voice:

"I can sing "Bubble" No, it's the song sung by Deng Ziqi in I Am a Singer"

"Hmm? You have good taste. This song is quite difficult to sing. I'll try, but I can't remember the lyrics."

Amid the noisy English words, Lin Miaomiao covered her face with a book and listened carefully to the singing behind her. This was a concert that belonged to her alone.

After a morning reading class, Wu Xianyu drank two large glasses of water. Lin Miaomiao even ordered a song. Holding the glass of water, Wu Xianyu touched Lin Miaomiao's shoulder, his voice a little hoarse.

"You've played this morning's songs. Even if the song request station charges two dollars per song, you should at least give me ten dollars."

"Huh? Don't you like singing? I am just a question setter. If I hadn't given you the topic, would you be able to sing so happily?"

Lin Miaomiao turned the tables, but Wu Xianyu curled his lips and didn't argue with her. His throat was indeed a little tired now. After all, he had never really learned to sing. He relied on his youth. And what she said made some sense. He thought there was really no challenge. They were all songs he had sung countless times, so there was no challenge.

After taking a break between two classes in the morning, Wu Xianyu felt that his voice was almost back to normal, and at least it would not affect the radio station assessment during the break.

As soon as the get out of class was over and the teacher left, the whole classroom became noisy. Soon everyone left to take part in their respective club exams.

Lin Miaomiao waved goodbye to Deng Xiaoqi
"Xiaoqi, there will be no problem for you to join the dance club. You must amaze everyone."

After that, he led the way with Wu Xianyu at the front door and walked towards the examination classroom of the radio station.
"I don't know what the radio station will test on, but as long as it's not math, I think it's fine."

"It must be a very unreliable radio station to have a math test. I guess it's just a test on Mandarin and articulation."

Wu Xianyu had one hand in his pocket and was chatting with Lin Miaomiao. Soon they arrived at the test room. They were early, and the teacher at the radio station only said to them:

"Please sit down first and wait for everyone to arrive."

Wu Xianyu felt that the teacher's words sounded a little strange, but he didn't show it on his face. He just found a seat and sat down, quietly waiting for everyone to arrive.

Soon, when the number of people was about the same, the teacher at the radio station knocked on the table and said,

"Alright, that's it. Those who didn't come will be considered as giving up. Let's start the assessment."

Wu Xianyu thought to himself, as expected, the teacher at this radio station actually stutters.

Then the teacher put a list in front of everyone, and without giving them time to react, he randomly asked people to stand up and read out the contents on the paper.

Wu Xianyu listened to several people reading, there were about three modern poems, one is "Rain Swallow", one is "Farewell to Cambridge", and one is "Homesickness"

Wu Xianyu was given "A Farewell to Cambridge". Although he had never memorized it, he had read it many times. When his name was called, Wu Xianyu read a few paragraphs in standard Mandarin with ease and clarity. He was stopped by the teacher before he was halfway through.

"Okay, that's enough. Please sit down. Your name is Wu Xianyu, right?"

Seeing Wu Xianyu nod, the teacher made a mark on her notebook. Lin Miaomiao immediately looked at Wu Xianyu with envy, but did not look at him for long. After all, there were fewer and fewer people left in the classroom who had not read, and it would be her turn soon.

"Lin Miaomiao"

Lin Miaomiao stood up, her voice a little nervous, but she quickly adjusted herself. She had read less than half of "The Swift" when the teacher stopped her and made a mark on the notebook. Lin Miaomiao immediately relaxed.

The teacher continued for a while and called those who had read it again, but the test was generally very quick.

The two walked out of the examination classroom together. Lin Miaomiao walked up to Wu Xianyu and stretched out her hand to look at Wu Xianyu, who looked puzzled.

"Why are you standing there? High five me."

"Snapped"

Wu Xianyu took the photo speechlessly.
"You are so grown up, yet you still do such childish things"

"Hey, why are you using so much strength?"

Lin Miaomiao shook her numb hands and looked at Wu Xianyu with dissatisfaction and frowned.

"How can it be childish? Isn't this a good way to celebrate the fact that we both passed the test?"

Wu Xianyu didn't even turn his head and walked to Lin Miaomiao's front door, walking down the stairs while talking
"The teacher said that the list of names will be announced during the break tomorrow. How did you know that we both passed?"

"Don't be too easy to guess the expression on the teacher's face. I'm not the only one who can guess it."

This is the truth. After all, if the teacher thinks the student is okay, he will let him sit down after just a few words. If the student is not okay, the teacher will frown like the Chinese character "川".

"Wow, you're awesome!"

Wu Xianyu praised him without any fluctuation in his tone. Lin Miaomiao kicked Wu Xianyu's calf, and a dissatisfied voice came from behind.

"If you don't want to praise me, then don't do it. Why are you being so sarcastic?"

"Okay, I don't want to argue with you. We're in the classroom now. Come on, ladies first, please come in."

Wu Xianyu stopped at the door, bent down and stretched out his hand to signal Lin Miaomiao to go in first.

Lin Miaomiao snorted proudly and walked into the classroom.

I found Deng Xiaoqi was already sitting in the classroom, so I walked over quickly.
"Xiao Qi, how come you're so fast? Did the test go well?"

Deng Xiaoqi modestly put her hair behind her ears and spoke modestly.

"Well, the examiner passed me after seeing me, because the examiner was there at my last award-winning performance and had a good idea of ​​my abilities, so I basically just went through the motions and came back."

"Great, great, you are worthy of being Xiaoqi"

Lin Miaomiao praised him a few words in a flattering manner, then returned to her seat and took out some snacks to replenish her energy.
