Tentative

Chapter 8

The class teacher teaches Chinese, a 27-year-old young male teacher.Being able to become a high school teacher at this age probably has some real skills.But young teachers like him, without exception, have the same problem—too gentle with students.No one wanted to hear him teach, and no one wanted to hear him teach.He doesn't get angry anyway, and there's no price to pay for making mistakes, so it doesn't matter so much whether he's doing it right.

Qu Zhe looked at the blackboard with his head propped up. The chalk characters on it looked like typefaces, neat and meticulous.It is rare to see the teacher's writing on the blackboard so neatly, and the mathematics, physics and chemistry side usually can't understand what is written at a glance.Shen Yizhuo at the front desk was the same as always, holding a pen and writing something with his head down from time to time.When he bowed his head, the cervical vertebrae protruded slightly, revealing more skin, and his complexion was fair, and when the natural light was sufficient, it seemed to be glowing white.

"Do you understand?"

"Understood-understood-"

Facing the head teacher's inquiries, there were only sparse responses from the following.If you listen carefully, you can notice that there are more than fifty people in the class, but only a dozen or so people answer.Whether it was Qu Zhe or Shen Yizhuo, they would not make a sound at this time, and the naughtier students whispered to the front and rear tables, turning a blind eye to the people on the podium.

"Hey." The head teacher sighed softly, and the next moment he tried to raise his spirits to give a lecture, "Then let's look at the next natural paragraph..."

Jiang Yuzhao's desk was only an aisle away from Qu Zhe, and he slept most of the time in the classroom, but today he was an exception lying on his stomach, talking to the boy at the front desk.

"Baldy Li talks like he's chanting scriptures."

"Anyway, I didn't understand what he was trying to say."

A girl nearby interrupted: "Hey, Baldy Li is actually quite a nice person."

"Haha, isn't it?" Jiang Yuzhao smiled, "He doesn't care about things, just applaud if he doesn't care about things?"

The head teacher could hear the chatter below.He is still so young, so naturally he will not lose his head. The nickname "Baldy Li" has been called since the first day of school.At first everyone just called it that in private, until he heard it by chance, and he just smiled gently, not angry.So the nickname spread like a virus, no matter whether he was present or not.

The class teacher's surname is Li, and his name is Li Tuzhi, a name full of bookishness.

"Did you know that Shen Yizhuo and Qu Zhe came to the school together this morning?"

"No way……"

"Really, I saw them at the breakfast shop."

Minimal chatter appeared in every corner of the classroom. The boy who ate noodles with Shen Yizhuo in the morning heard it, turned around proudly, and said to the girl who was discussing this matter behind him: "I'm here too. Shen Yizhuo said that last night Qu Zhe sleep at his house."

"Wow - no way, did Shen Yizhuo actually play well with Qu Zhe?"

"Crap, it's just this one time."

"You're just kidding, will you let Qu Zhe sleep at your house?"

"Then Jiang Yuzhao still asks Qu Zhe to buy breakfast every day."

Hearing his name coming out of other people's mouths, Jiang Yuzhao sat up straight and leaned against the back of the chair, frowning impatiently and said: "Is there any problem if I ask him to buy breakfast?"

"In the future, maybe, Qu Zhe will buy breakfast for Shen Yizhuo!" The boy joked, with a disdainful smile on his lips, he looked at Qu Zhe.

The person involved was unaware and was still staring straight ahead.He was not looking at the blackboard, but at Shen Yizhuo.

Before that, only Jiang Yuzhao had a little contact with Qu Zhe, but it was limited to such insignificant things as buying breakfast, fetching water, or copying homework for him.But now, someone suddenly commented that Qu Zhe actually has a good relationship with Shen Yizhuo, and Jiang Yuzhao was inexplicably annoyed.

It's like a dog that I've had for two months suddenly left with someone else.

Jiang Yuzhao stretched out his leg irritably, and kicked Qu Zhe's table leg as if declaring his sovereignty.

"Hey, help me buy breakfast after class."

This kick was not loud, but powerful. Qu Zhe was startled when he saw Shen Yizhuo's ecstasy, and the pen placed on the edge of the table rolled off the ground in an instant.He bent down to pick it up in a hurry, and happened to see Jiang Yuzhao's toes that hadn't been retracted. They were a pair of new black and red sneakers. Qu Zhe knew this brand, and it was quite expensive.

There was a lot of movement here, Shen Yizhuo turned his head irritably, glanced at Jiang Yuzhao and said, "It's so noisy."

His voice was deep and sweet, Qu Zhe picked up the pen, looked at him, then at Jiang Yuzhao's unhappy face, not knowing what to say.It's just a breakfast, he buys it for Jiang Yuzhao almost every day, unless the other party doesn't want to eat one day.

"Did you hear that?" Jiang Yuzhao kicked the table leg again.

"well."

After Qu Zhe finished speaking, Shen Yizhuo took a deep look at him, then turned back and continued to listen to the class.

Jiang Yuzhao smiled triumphantly, took out the money from his pocket, put it on Quzhe's desk, and said nothing.It was a crumpled piece of five yuan. One can imagine that with Jiang Yuzhao's character, when receiving money, he would not fold it neatly and put it in his wallet, but would grab it into a ball and throw it into his pocket.

That wrinkled appearance, just like Qu Zhe in front of them, was extremely ugly.

"Jingle Bell--"

The get out of class bell rang, but before Li Tuzhi could say "get out of class end", the boys in the back row of the classroom had already left their seats in twos and threes, completely ignoring his existence.He shook his head self-consciously, closed the teaching plan spread out on the podium, hugged it together with the textbook, and left the classroom.

Qu Zhe stood up anxiously, going to buy breakfast for Jiang Yuzhao.At this time, Shen Yizhuo passed by his seat and threw the draft paper into the trash can, so he had to stand and wait for Shen Yizhuo to leave before going out.

"They're right, you really look like Jiang Yuzhao's dog." Suddenly, he heard Shen Yizhuo say.His voice was so low that only he could hear it.

"I..." I'm not.Qu Zhe wanted to say that, but Shen Yizhuo had already walked away.

If he had to be a dog, he would rather be Shen Yizhuo's dog than Jiang Yuzhao's.Before that, Qu Zhe didn't care what people around him said.But when the same words came out of Shen Yizhuo's mouth, it seemed that the feeling was different.

Words turned into sharp blades, grinding and scratching bit by bit on the heart he thought was strong enough.

A strange impulse surged in Qu Zhe's heart.

His hand suddenly reached into his pocket, tightly gripping the crumpled money, then walked to Jiang Yuzhao's table, and put the money back gently: "Today... I don't want to go..."

Jiang Yuzhao was playing with his mobile phone.Hearing these words, he raised his head, saw Qu Zhe lowered his head anxiously, and saw the money on the table again, nameless anger burst into his heart suddenly.He stood up all of a sudden, a head taller than Qu Zhe with an endless sense of oppression: "What do you mean?"

"I..." Qu Zhe took two steps back subconsciously, "I'm not going today..."

Jiang Yuzhao raised his hand abruptly, clenched his fists as if to beat him.

Qu Zhe closed his eyes tightly, retracted his whole body, and raised his arms to block himself in front of him.

He just wanted to tell Shen Yizhuo that he was not Jiang Yuzhao's dog.Others can insult him, but Shen Yizhuo can't, because Shen Yizhuo is not a good guy either.But obviously, he didn't practice thinking about the consequences of saying that.Jiang Yuzhao is a representative of problematic students, and he was a well-known school bully in his previous junior high school.Although it calmed down a lot after arriving in Tianzhong, no one dared to provoke him.

Let's be beaten... that was the only thought that crossed his mind.

"Jiang Yuzhao, he doesn't want to, so don't force it." A familiar voice rang in his ears, Qu Zhe slowly opened his eyes, and saw Shen Yizhuo standing in front of him, grabbing Jiang Yuzhao's wrist.

The movement here attracted the attention of many people, including some girls, such as Zhang Nana.

To isolate such a thing, what matters is the unity of purpose.Once someone with a good popularity stands on the side of the isolated side, the situation will change.

"That's right, why are you bullying Qu Zhe every day?" Zhang Nana interjected coquettishly, whether it was because she couldn't see it, or because Shen Yizhuo was the one who stood up for Qu Zhe.

People around are watching, and things that should have been taken for granted suddenly become inappropriate.Jiang Yuzhao pursed his lips, retracted his fist and said with a sneer, "Shen Yizhuo, you also want to raise a dog?"

"I just don't think it's good to hit someone." Shen Yizhuo responded with a smile.

Looking at the tense situation here, someone came over to smooth things over: "Forget it, do you have breakfast, Brother Zhao? I didn't eat it either, let's go together."

"Don't eat!" Jiang Yuzhao replied fiercely, turned and left.

If someone else came to help Qu Zhe, the end would be to be ridiculed with Qu Zhe.But Shen Yizhuo is different, he seems to have an innate charm, as long as he speaks, Qu Zhe will no longer be so annoying.

"Thank you..." Qu Zhe wanted to thank him, but Shen Yizhuo had already returned to his seat, as if what happened just now hadn't happened.

He quietly glanced at Shen Yizhuo's table, it was placed in the jug on the edge, there was still a little bottom left, and it was almost finished.He timidly walked over, pointed to his kettle and said, "I, I'll fetch water for you..."

Many people were still looking at this side, Shen Yizhuo raised his head and said softly: "No need."

"It's okay... I want to fetch water too..."

He looked at Qu Zhe, and after a few seconds of silence, he suddenly smiled softly: "Then thank you."

"well!"

Unable to conceal the excitement in his heart, Qu Zhe picked up his frosted water bottle, and his steps were lighter than usual.He didn't have time to think about why Shen Yizhuo wanted to help him out, and why he wanted to show favor to Shen Yizhuo.In the eyes of others, Qu Zhe is servile. He feels uncomfortable when he does not serve tea and water for others.

The fact that Shen Yizhuo stood out for Qu Zhe quickly spread in the class.Adding that Qu Zhe slept at Shen Yizhuo's house last night, the relationship between the two seemed to be close without anyone noticing.

From that day on, Jiang Yuzhao never asked him to buy breakfast again.

He started to buy breakfast for Shen Yizhuo and fetch water for him.He would get up half an hour earlier, rush to the school gate, buy breakfast for Shen Yizhuo according to the taste he had observed and Shen Yizhuo liked, and then wait for him at the traffic light.

At first, Shen Yizhuo didn't pick up, only when a classmate happened to see the two of them at this time, he would pick up.

"Didn't Qu Zhe's family live there? They bought you breakfast specially." The boy asked ignorantly.

Shen Yizhuo said indifferently: "He got up early and bought it for me by the way."

Qu Zhe also nodded hurriedly, in order to prove that what Shen Yizhuo said was true.After being seen several times, Shen Yizhuo no longer refused, but every time he had to give him the breakfast money, as if deliberately keeping a distance from him.

With the accumulation of these bits and pieces, it became an established fact that Shen Yizhuo and Qu Zhe had a good relationship.At the beginning, when someone was talking to Shen Yizhuo, they also said a few words to him; when they invited Shen Yizhuo to play ball or go out on weekends, they also asked him if he was free.

"Qu Zhe is very busy and has no time."

"Qu Zhe can't play."

But Shen Yizhuo helped him reject all of these.

No one questioned why Shen Yizhuo was so clear about his affairs, and even he himself felt that these fabricated answers were normal—insofar as he was considered a good friend by others, Shen Yizhuo still loathed him and tried his best to break up with him Clear boundaries.
