Chapter 84 Transfer Student
Gu Xiang heard about their divorce and vaguely felt that something was off, but didn't know where to start or what exactly was wrong.
In the evening, Gu's mother came back, and Gu Xiang immediately pulled her to talk.
"Mom Gu said to her: 'What are you doing, being so mysterious?'"
Gu Xiang repeated what her grandmother had said to her.
Gu's mother fell silent after hearing this. Gu Xiang didn't know what her mother wanted to say, so she sat down beside her and also became quiet.
Her mother thought for a while, then smiled at her, "Alright, we can't interfere with their affairs. You've heard one ear, that's enough, don't get involved in this mess."
Gu's mother didn't want to talk about it, so Gu Xiang also stopped discussing this topic.
Hualu Middle School's first year of junior high is about to start soon.
A new semester brings a fresh atmosphere, after a summer break without seeing each other, classmates have endless things to talk about.
Lin Jiahuan rushed towards Gu Xiang as soon as she saw him, just like a small dog smelling bones.
Gu Xiang retreated several steps before regaining her balance.
After losing weight, this person indeed didn't have as stable a center of gravity.
"You're going to die! You're all going to be thrown down by you." Gu Xiang scolded her while pushing her.
Lin Jiahuan also scolded back: "You dead girl, disappear for a summer vacation, finding you is harder than meeting the national leader."
"It's as if he has seen the leader before."
Two people quarreled for a while, then hand in hand went to the toilet together.
When I came back, there were already quite a few people in the classroom. Teacher Jiang was talking to Zhao Lei on the podium.
Gu Xiang and Lin Jiahuan quickly slipped back into their seats.
The classroom was in an uproar, but when Teacher Jiang cleared her throat and coughed twice, the noise gradually died down.
Mr. Jiang still loves to smile, he said: "It's a new semester, but everyone is already familiar with each other, so I won't say much else, you all know what to do."
The atmosphere in the class was also mobilized by him, and many mischievous boys were cheering.
Mr. Jiang didn't say anything to them and even joked with them for a couple of sentences.
After finishing the new semester's speech, Teacher Jiang suddenly changed the subject, "In the new semester, our class also has a student who transferred. So the position of vice class leader is also vacant, I hope the boys will actively recommend themselves, let's have a simple election."
Gu Xiang glanced at the back row of the classroom. Chai Zi Yu's seat was empty.
Tang Lulu patted Gu Xiang's back from behind.
"Has Chai Zi transferred schools?"
Gu Xiang shook her head, "I don't know, I didn't hear him say that." Then she thought for a moment, the two of them hadn't been in touch much during summer vacation, "But I did see him in July in the city, he didn't mention it to me then either."
The two of them exchanged a glance, both looking quite strange, but neither of them knew what was going on.
Chai Zi Yu was popular among the boys and had a strong following, but suddenly he disappeared, and everyone felt a bit uncomfortable.
On the first day of cleaning, it was always Chai Zi Yu who assigned tasks to them, and the boys were also willing to listen to her.
Now that he has transferred and left, several people who were close to him are not in a good mood. Teacher Jiang asked Ning Peng to temporarily take over Chai Zi Yu's work for the next two days. He himself is not very enthusiastic, let alone those arranged by him.
During the big cleanup, it wasn't just Tang Lulu and Lin Jiahuan who asked Wenwen about Zhang Ziyu, but also girls who weren't very familiar with them came to ask Gu Xiang why Zhang Ziyu had transferred schools.
Gu Xiang certainly didn't know, just said met in the city's book city.
Everyone thought about it and felt that it was possible that Chai Zi's family had contacted a better school in the city, letting him make an effort in his last year of junior high.
Lin Jiahuan said: "Actually, I sometimes don't understand you good students either. For the sake of grades, you really don't care about anything else. You say transfer schools and then just transfer, if it were me, I would definitely miss my classmates, friends, and teachers... Ah, no, what are you going to the city for? Are you going to look at schools?"
"What's wrong? I just went out to have some fun and buy a couple of reference books. Just happened to run into him."
However, what Lin Jiahuan said is also true. Chai Ziyu gave up too many things to transfer schools for the middle school entrance exam. But if it wasn't for studying, then what else was it for?
The atmosphere in the class of third-year junior high school students is completely different from that of second-year junior high school students.
Before, there was still a playful Class 1 during recess, but suddenly it's as if they've entered the atmosphere of final exams.
Even some mischievous boys in class know how to take notes and ask questions.
No teacher needs to emphasize the importance of this last year in junior high school anymore, but classmates are suddenly all sensible as if overnight. The topic after class is no longer which idol drama, which basketball game, or which new brand, but has become which teacher's new test paper, another solution to a difficult problem, and what kind of supplementary books have been newly added to the bookstore...
The chemistry teacher, Ms. Zhou, is young and has just graduated not long ago. She sees Class 1 as a collective with a strong learning atmosphere where students are all enthusiastic and diligent. Her teaching enthusiasm was also ignited, and during every class break, whenever there were students coming to the podium to ask questions, she would patiently answer each one of them, often until the bell rang for the next class before hastily packing up her things and leaving.
Among them, Li Wei was still the most hardworking. Tang Lulu was the one who paid the most attention to learning methods and efficiency.
Gu Xiang is the most well-rounded in development. Lin Jiahuan, this learning laggard who used to rely on others, suddenly became like a task master, starting to take care of herself and not needing Gu Xiang to remind her, she followed them every day to learn together.
Gu Xiang didn't dare to be careless either, and he devoted 120% of his energy to it.
When she wanted to slack off before, she would turn her head and take a look at Chai Zi Yu. Looking at the person who could get first place in the whole grade just by being smart, then she knew she should continue working hard.
Now, Chai Zi Yu's position has been taken by someone else.
There is no longer a boy who loves to wear white clothes and sleep on the table.
