The programmer and his woman

We walked into the school gate together, and the familiar campus scenery came into view. The sun shone through the gaps in the leaves and cast mottled light and shadows on the ground. We walked straight to the registration office and saw the teacher who had warmly received me from a distance. She was still smiling as always. When she saw us, she immediately stood up and greeted us warmly.

"Hello, teacher! Today I bring my sister to register for school. Could you please help her with the admission procedures?" I politely explained my purpose to the teacher.

The teacher smiled and nodded. She picked up the class schedule and looked at it carefully. Then she said apologetically, "Oh, what a coincidence. There are no vacancies at the moment. It may take a few days to arrange it."

Hearing this, Xiaoxia seemed a little anxious. She asked hurriedly, "Teacher, can I be in the same class with my brother? He is studying in this school now."

I turned to look at Xiaoxia and asked with some concern: "Xiaoxia, we have been in this class for several days. Are you worried that you can't keep up with the progress?"

Xiaoxia seemed unusually confident. She answered firmly, "Brother, I think it should be fine. I will try my best to keep up with everyone's progress."

After listening to Xiaoxia's words, the teacher thought for a while and then said, "In theory, transfer to another class requires the school's approval and assessment of the student's ability. But since you are introduced by an acquaintance, I can help your sister transfer to a class. However, I want to remind you to make sure she can keep up with the progress, otherwise it may affect her learning effect."

Xiaoxia and I nodded to show that we understood what the teacher meant. I continued, "Teacher, don't worry, I will help my sister adapt to the new learning environment as soon as possible."

The teacher nodded with satisfaction, and then said, "Okay, you go and pay the fees first. After paying the fees, you can bring your sister to the class."

We immediately went to pay the fee, and then returned to the registration office with the payment slip. The teacher picked up the payment slip, carefully checked the information, and handed it to me. She smiled and said to Xiaoxia, "You can go to class with your brother now. However, I want to remind you again that this is a pre-exam training class, and you must pass the exam before you can officially enroll. So, you must make sure you can keep up with the progress."

Xiaoxia nodded vigorously, with an unquestionable aura on her face. She said to the teacher gratefully: "Thank you, teacher! I will definitely work hard!"

We said goodbye to the teacher and walked towards the classroom with joy and anticipation. As the course progressed, I gradually discovered that Xiaoxia's learning talent and ability far exceeded my imagination. She has a quick mind and a strong ability to absorb knowledge. Whether it is the teacher's explanation or the students' discussion, she can quickly grasp the key points and give her own unique insights.

Seeing Xiaoxia doing well in class, I couldn't help but feel surprised and curious. I couldn't help but blurt out: "Xiaoxia, you are really good. Why did you drop out of school when you are so good at studying?" As soon as I said it, I realized that I had made a mistake, which undoubtedly touched on her sensitive topic. However, Xiaoxia didn't seem to care. She smiled at me and said softly: "When I was in school, I was the first in the whole school and my academic performance was very good. I loved studying when I was a child. Even after leaving school, I would take my sister's book to read the knowledge behind it when I had free time."

Hearing this, I was filled with admiration for Xiaoxia. Although she could not continue to go to school due to family reasons, she never gave up her pursuit and love of knowledge. This tenacious spirit of learning is admirable.

I silently observed Xiaoxia, she listened to the class attentively, nodding or taking notes from time to time. Her eyes were full of desire for knowledge and longing for the future. I thought that even if she could not continue to go to school, her learning journey would not be interrupted. She has a heart that loves learning, which cannot be stopped by any difficulties.

As time went by, Xiaoxia's academic performance and unique charm gradually spread among teachers and classmates, attracting widespread attention. Her talent is not only reflected in her academic performance, but also in her love and unremitting pursuit of knowledge. In the class, her popularity is getting higher and higher, and she has gained a large group of loyal fans, including those classmates who also love learning.

Among these classmates, the most eye-catching one is the class beauty Wang Dan. Wang Dan has always attracted attention for her outstanding appearance and elegant temperament, but she was attracted by Xiaoxia's talent and inner charm, and took the initiative to get together with Xiaoxia. The two studied side by side and encouraged each other.

In this way, the three of us, students with different personalities and hobbies, formed a study trio because of our common learning goals and mutual attraction. Every day we attended classes together, discussed problems together, and even often met at the library or park on weekends for further communication and learning. As time went by, the relationship between the three of us gradually became closer and we became an indispensable part of each other's lives.

However, just as we were enjoying this pure friendship and the joy of learning, an accident happened.

That evening, the sky was a light orange, like a cheek just kissed by the setting sun. I said goodbye to Yang Xiaoxia and Wang Dan, and rode my bicycle home alone. The breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of coolness, but also a little uneasiness.

Just as I was thinking about going home, suddenly, a van sped past me, then made an emergency lane change, and then suddenly braked. I was totally unprepared for such an emergency, and I was unable to react in time, and crashed into the side of the van.

I raised my head in anger, wanting to ask the other party why he drove like that. At this time, two people got out of the car, one was burly and muscular, and the other was relatively thin, but there was a fierce light in his eyes. The thin man walked up to me, pushed me to the ground, and shouted: "You are so blind when riding a bike, look at the way you hit my car, pay for it!"

I struggled to stand up from the ground and loudly retorted, "It was you who suddenly changed your ways! How could I deliberately hit your car?"

"You are still being stubborn!" the thin man roared, "If you don't pay us two thousand dollars to compensate for our car today, this matter will not end!"

I felt my pockets and found only a few dozen dollars, which was not enough to compensate for their car. And I knew that they were being unreasonable and I was not wrong at all. However, the strong man A-Long looked very fierce and I knew that I was no match for him. So I tried to run away, but A-Long rushed over and knocked me down, then pinned me to the ground and punched and kicked me.

At this time, the skinny guy came over and kicked me, and I could hardly breathe because of the pain. The area was soon filled with people watching. One of the ladies couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "I saw it all just now. It was obviously intentional. Why are they beating up other people's children now? If you do it again, I will call the police!"

After hearing what the aunt said, other people who saw it also joined in and testified for me. The two people who bullied me also panicked. The strong man A Long pulled the thin man who was still kicking me and whispered, "Master, let's stop here today. It will be troublesome if the police come later."

The thin guy stopped when he heard that, glared at me fiercely and threatened: "I'll spare you today, but you remember, don't mess with people you shouldn't mess with in the future. If you try to go after her again, I'll beat you up!" After that, they turned around, got in the van, and drove away.

A kind old man came over to help me up and asked with concern: "Young man, how did you get involved with such people? They don't look like good people. Come on, move your body and see if your bones are okay."

I moved my body and felt that I was fine except for some minor injuries. So I said to the old man gratefully, "Thank you for your concern. I am fine, just some minor injuries."

The old man nodded and said, "Then go home quickly and be careful not to be targeted by such people again.

When I tried to pick up the bike and prepare to go home, I found that the situation was much worse than I thought. When I pushed the bike, the rims were severely deformed and could not be ridden normally. I stood on the side of the road, looking at the bike that had accompanied me through countless days and nights, and I couldn't help feeling helpless and angry.

I sighed, knowing that I could only push it to a nearby repair shop for repair. I pushed the deformed bike towards the repair shop, feeling annoyed. This day should have been full of joy and anticipation. I was happy to form a study trio with Yang Xiaoxia and Wang Dan, and even felt like I had luck in love. However, these two sudden psychopaths broke all my good moods, not only causing me physical injuries, but also causing serious damage to my bike.

I rode the repaired bicycle and started my journey home. Although I was still a little depressed, I knew that I had become stronger and braver.

The night breeze was a little cool, and when I stepped into the door of the cram school the next day, the familiar and tense atmosphere immediately surrounded me.

I walked to my seat and just sat down, two familiar faces came into my sight. I couldn't help but be shocked. Isn't this... Damn, they are actually my classmates!

In this kind of pre-exam cram school, since everyone comes from different schools, it is normal for classmates not to know each other. I have never noticed the existence of these two people before. Today, I learned that they are my classmates. I feel a little surprised, but more of a sense of inexplicable tension.

The thin man seemed to have noticed me, too. He curled his lips and showed a strange smile. Then, he made a gesture of wiping his neck with his hand. This gesture made me more suspicious. What happened yesterday was obviously not a coincidence.

The thin guy seemed to be deliberately looking for trouble with me. I began to think back to yesterday. The thin guy left a message for me not to get close to someone before leaving. So, who is this person? Two girls appeared in my mind - Wang Dan and Xiao Xia. They have always been very close to me. Whether in study or life, we have a lot of intersections.

Xiaoxia is a lively and cheerful girl who always brings joy to others. Wang Dan is more reserved, but her beauty and gentleness are irresistible. In terms of figure, I think Xiaoxia is better, and her curves are more beautiful. However, Xiaoxia is not as good at dressing up as Wang Dan.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my head and told myself not to let my imagination run wild. I came here to study, not to do these boring things.

Xiaoxia walked into the classroom gently, her steps were light and graceful, as if every step was stepping on my heartstrings. After she sat down, she inadvertently glanced at the obvious scars on my face, and her eyes immediately revealed concern and confusion.

"Hey, brother, why are there so many wounds on your face?" Xiaoxia asked softly, her voice full of worry. Her eyes were like a clear lake, reflecting my anxiety and embarrassment at the moment.

I was slightly stunned, then tried to answer in a relaxed tone: "Oh, it's okay, I accidentally bumped into it yesterday." I tried to hide my inner panic with a smile, but it was obvious that my smile was a little stiff.

After hearing this, Xiaoxia frowned slightly, as if she didn't completely believe my explanation. She was silent for a moment, then said softly: "Oh! So, you have to be careful. If there is anything you need help with, remember to tell me."

Her words were full of warmth and concern, which made me feel inexplicably relieved. I nodded and smiled to express my gratitude to her.

The content of this math class seemed more difficult than ever before. The teacher's explanations were like complex puzzles that required students to concentrate on thinking. I found that although Wang Dan usually performed well in math, she seemed to be struggling this time, with a frown on her face, and seemed unable to keep up with the teacher's pace. In contrast, Xiaoxia and I were able to understand the teacher's content better, and we took notes very carefully.

After class, when the students started to finish their exercises, Wang Dan came over with a hint of hesitation and expectation on her face. She said softly, "Can you help me explain the content of today's math class again? I don't understand a few things." There was a hint of anxiety in her voice, and it was obvious that she wanted to master these knowledge points as soon as possible.

I looked at Xiaoxia and found that she was also looking at me. Xiaoxia's math scores have always been better than mine. Her problem-solving ideas are always so clear that I feel inferior to her. However, in this class, I was unexpectedly on par with her. We were both able to understand the teacher's explanation easily. Wang Dan seemed to have noticed this, so she hoped that I could explain this problem to her.

I did not refuse and began to explain to Wang Dan patiently. I tried to use easy-to-understand language to break down the complex math problem into simple steps. Wang Dan listened very carefully and nodded from time to time to show her understanding. While explaining the problem to her, she kept praising me for my good explanation and clear thinking. This surprised me and made me happy.

After several such encounters, my relationship with Wang Dan seemed to have taken a step forward. We would discuss math problems together during breaks and share our learning experiences with each other. However, at the same time, I found that Xiaoxia began to distance herself from me. She no longer communicated with me as frequently as before, and no longer took the initiative to discuss problems with me. I began to feel confused and didn't understand why she was like this.
