The King's Game

After Qi You delivered homework to the teacher, he was surrounded by a group of curious babies not long after entering the classroom.

"Squad leader! I heard that a transfer student came today, is it true?"

"Yes, you should have seen him in the teacher's office just now, right? How does he look? Is he handsome?"

"Fantasy, why are you thinking about whether she's handsome or not? What if it's a girl? Hey, Qi You, isn't she pretty?"

Qi You looked at this good buddy with a smile on his face a little funny, but he didn't say anything to discourage the other party's enthusiasm. He recalled the appearance of the boy he saw in the office, and replied: "Gender male, very white and thin , wearing glasses, she is not tall, but her appearance... I can't see too clearly."

The other party kept his head down and stood far away from him. Qi You just went to deliver an assignment, and he didn't have the nerve to keep looking at him. Now he can't answer the question of good or bad looks.

Before everyone had time to make complaints about Qi You's last sentence, the girl cheered: "Did you hear that! It's a man! I guess he must be handsome, and if he is white and thin... then he must be cute!"

"Xu Jingna, please save yourself. Anyway, if you are a boy, you can call him for a long time. If he is short and ugly, see how you will be embarrassed." Jiang Yuan squinted at Xu Jingna, who was excited because of the gender issue of the transfer student, and poured cold water on her. road.

"I don't know who the wretched man who just asked if he was pretty! Why do I smell so sour?" Xu Jingna mocked back not to be outdone.

Seeing the two lovers who are happy to fight each other again, Qi You smiled and shook his head, but because of the conversation between the two, he recalled the boy he saw in the office. She seemed very nervous when she was talking to the teacher, and although her voice was soft and stammered, it was quite pleasant. Thinking about it this way, it really fits the "cute" quality that Xu Jingna just said.

Not long after, the class bell rang, and the class teacher stepped onto the podium steadily in high heels as always, and a boy followed her.

As Qi You said before, the young man on the stage is indeed very white and thin, but he is not tall and not impressive. He wears a pair of old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses, giving people the feeling of a bookworm. Clutching the straps of her schoolbag and looking very nervous, Xu Jingna next to her let out a discouraged sigh and lay down on the table, glaring at Jiang Yuan who was covering her mouth and mocking, obviously this was not her style.

The teacher asked the boy to introduce himself. The boy said something in a low voice. There were many people whispering in the classroom. It seemed that the boy's words were halfway through and then disappeared with the wind. Except for the students sitting in the first two rows behind, there was no one. people hear.

So an upright person in the back row asked loudly, "What are you talking about? We can't hear you clearly!"

That person has always been the joker in the class. When he spoke, the whole class laughed out loud. The teacher said to be quiet several times, and the brats calmed down a lot.

The young man looked a little helpless on the stage, and Qi You, who was sitting in the front row, saw the embarrassment of the other party at a glance, his ears were red, and the knuckles of his knuckles holding the schoolbag were a little white.

"Student Jiang Nan?" The homeroom teacher looked at the boy who hadn't spoken again. She had seen the boy's shyness in the office before, and seemed to want to exercise his courage, so she said, "The students in the back didn't hear it just now. How about you speak louder and introduce it again?"

Jiang Nan hesitated for a while, turned his head to meet the teacher's encouraging eyes, then turned back and said obediently with a slightly higher volume than before: "My name is Jiang Nan, and I am a transfer student from C County. Please give me your advice..."

This time Qi You heard clearly, there was nothing new in this self-introduction, but the volume of the other party was still very low, and the people who couldn't hear behind were still muttering a few words impatiently, and the teenager on the stage looked at him as if he was asking for help. The teacher next to him seemed to want to ask himself if he could go down.

Since the current seat has already been arranged, the teacher can only temporarily arrange Jiang Nan in a seat next to the window in the back row. The boy buried his head and quickly walked off the podium without any objection. Fang Chen, a well-known annoying person in the class in the aisle, had the intention of stretching out his foot to trip Jiang Nan when he approached, so he gave him a warning look, and Fang Chen pouted resentfully.

Jiang Nan didn't know that it was thanks to the squad leader that he could walk to his seat unimpeded all the way, he was slightly relieved when he sat in his seat, and took out a book from his schoolbag, as if he was going to listen to the class seriously.

There are always a few bad boys in a class, and this class is no exception, and most of them sit in the back row. Jiang Nan's posture seems out of place with the people around him. Some disdainfully scoffed, and a few unfriendly eyes fell on Jiang Nan. If the latter felt something, he didn't dare to look back, but unconsciously straightened his back.

Seeing this, several people made up their minds. This kind of timid student with no background at first glance has always been their bullying target, especially now that the other party is sitting in their group, how can they pass without greeting?

The teacher didn't notice the turbulent tide in the back row. Jiang Nan's family didn't know why they asked the child to turn around when the end of the term was approaching. It was originally not in line with the rules, but the other party's family was in this area. It seemed that he had some right to speak, so he invited the principal of the school to have a meal and arranged for him to come over directly.Now that the exam is approaching, time is very tight, so she seized the time and quickly devoted herself to teaching.

After class, a group of unscrupulous teenagers seemed to be unable to sit still, and soon stood up and walked towards Jiang Nan.

As soon as Jiang Nan looked up and saw so many people surrounding him, and they didn't show any kindness, he pinched the water-based pen in his hand a little uneasily, and lowered his head without looking at them.

"Transfer students, anyway, everyone sits in the back, so how about we get to know each other?" Hu Yongzhi, the tallest class leader, sat directly on his desk, and almost squeezed those textbooks under the table.

"We're going to go to the Internet cafe tonight, do you want to join?" Another class bully who was fatter also asked.

Jiang Nan was terrified, but still refused in a low voice: "My aunt said...you have to study hard at school, you can't go to Internet cafes..."

Everyone looked at each other, only heard the second half of the sentence clearly, and laughed out loud.

"So you are a good student, so you look down on us bad students?"

"...No, no." Jiang Nan lowered his head.

The people around looked at this side with some hesitation. Although they couldn't hear their conversation clearly, they guessed the situation. Hu Yongzhi was used to domineering in class, and I heard that he also recognized a gangster outside Brother, most people don't want to offend a transfer student they don't know.

"Then what do you mean? Can you repeat what you just said?" Hu Yongzhi pressed hard.

"Excuse me." A voice suddenly interrupted them.

Everyone turned their heads and looked, Hu Yongzhi frowned even more displeased, it was Qi You who spoke, and the other party seemed to have never seen the tense scene in front of him, and pointed to Jiang Nan: "The next self-study class is about to start , the teacher asked me to take him to familiarize himself with the campus environment."

"Are you lying to a ghost? The teacher went back to the office immediately after class. When did she tell you?" Hu Yongzhi glared at the other party, but the other party's expression did not change at all.

"The teacher explained it when I handed in my homework before."

Several people looked at each other. Although they were dubious, some people were obviously not willing to let them go like this. The fat man said: "Squad leader, don't worry, wait until we chat for a while?"

"When can't we chat?" Qi You stepped forward and pulled Jiang Nan up from the seat: "If the teacher sees me dawdling for a long time, it should be said that I have not fulfilled my duty as a monitor."

After speaking, he pulled Jiang Nan and left the encirclement.

Before leaving, he looked back at them and said with a smile: "After all, they are classmates, and we will get along with each other for two years in the future. It's not good to be too stiff, right?"

Hu Yongzhi curled his lips and didn't stop him, and the people around him didn't move any more when they saw this.Not to mention that Qi You is the class monitor, has privileges, and is also the object of the teacher's favor when things happen. They are not easy to offend the other party's family background alone. If the other party really wants to cover this newcomer, they have no choice but to let it go.

Qi You pulled Jiang Nan straight out of the classroom, let go of the other party's hand and walked towards the stairwell, and said in a light tone: "Let's go, I will take you around."

Jiang Nan followed step by step, until he went down from the fifth floor to the first floor before choking out a sentence: "Thank you."

He was also in the office before, so of course he knew that the teacher didn't tell Qi You that he would show him around the campus in the next class.

"Thank me for what? As the class monitor, I have to take care of the new classmates, but you," Qi You turned to look at Jiang Nan and shook his head: "It's no wonder they are looking for you, I There are too many things, and I can't take care of you anymore, it's impossible to protect you all the time."

Jiang Nan blushed when he heard his words. He didn't know whether he was shy or unconvinced, but his skin was fair and tender, and some blush was very obvious, and he was very good-looking. It took a long time to squeeze out One sentence: "No, no..."

Qi You asked doubtfully, "What's the use?"

"Don't keep protecting me," Jiang Nan said, as if he was afraid that the other party would misunderstand, he hurriedly continued, "I mean, I will find a way to solve it, and I won't bother you all the time."

Qi You felt very interesting in his heart: "Then how do you plan to solve it, let me hear it?"

Jiang Nan didn't seem to have any idea at all in his heart, just after he finished the sentence that felt more backbone, he was stopped by Qi You: "...There will be a way."

Qi Youchi laughed out loud, but he didn't tease the other party anymore, and said: "If they come to you in the future, and you say that you are covered by me, they will not do anything to you. Of course, first of all, you usually talk Don't keep your head down, acting like you're afraid of offending people, the more you do this, the more they want to bully you."

Jiang Nan blinked, and stared blankly at the boy in front of him. Seeing him like this, Qi You frowned in his heart, stretched out his hand and shook in front of him: "What's wrong?"

The boy immediately lowered his head in embarrassment, and asked in a low voice, "Is it really possible to say that?"

"Of course." Qi You didn't care about the other party's weak appearance, smiled, but said in his heart, why does this new classmate look so stupid.
