Chapter 5:

Many things in one hand are inconvenient, such as changing the ink of a pen.
Li Wei unskilledly unscrewed the ink bottle and the back cover of the pen with one hand, but accidentally rubbed a hand of ink during the operation. He stared blankly at the dirty ink on his hands, a trace of annoyance flashed across his eyes.
Zhang Man happened to go to the third class to find his best friend Chen Feier. When he returned, he saw him sitting blankly, his hands full of black ink.
"Why don't you wait for me to come back for a change of ink?" Zhang Man glanced at him reproachfully, "Why are you sitting stupidly? Go wash your hands."
The young man seemed to have just recovered, stood up and went to the bathroom in a daze. When he finally washed his hands and returned to his position, he found that everything on the table was neatly packed.
A small piece of ink dripped on the tabletop and wiped it with a damp cloth so that it did not leave a trace. The pen had absorbed the ink and the ink bottle had been closed and placed in the box.
He pursed his lips and looked at the girl next to her. She was talking to the classmate in front of her, her voice was low, and there was not much expression. The neat bangs on her forehead shook her head as she nodded and shook her head.
At the end of the day, Li Wei felt that she was a strange person. She is extremely quiet most of the time, she has no sense of presence when talking to people, and she doesn't like to laugh, just like now.
But sometimes it was different. For example, when she stepped on Liu Chang’s feet downstairs, he could see clearly and it was intentional; she took his hand to the infirmary and could not tolerate him to refuse at all; in the morning, she Loudly reported to the teacher that he was hit by someone, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
And just now, I blamed myself for not waiting for her to come back. The anger in that eye seemed to be under her control.
Li Wei suddenly became a little irritable.
Why bother, it changed within a few days anyway.
He shook his head and focused his thoughts on the formula that he hadn't finished pushing. He knows that there are still some things in this world that are eternal and unchanging. They have been waiting for him quietly and never lie to him.
Seeing Li Wei started to read, Zhang Man consciously unscrewed the pen cap for him, buckled it upside down at the end, and handed it to him. He prepared a few more draft papers for him and put them on the table.
She did this naturally, but this time it was thankless.
The boy overreacted and put the pen she put into his hand again, and took another one from the pen case. He pushed the draft paper she had prepared onto her own table, spread out an exercise book by herself, and calculated it.
It seems to be against her.
His slender knuckles were still stained with a little ink, which seemed to be unclean. He held the pen tightly, and Zhang Man was worried that the pen would not be crushed.
Zhang Man took a deep breath, not depressed. This was only the first day, so he had to give him time to adapt.
Even a stray kitten will be at a loss for a long time when it is adopted, let alone a person who has been alone for so many years.
. ...
On the first day of school, the teachers in each subject basically did not give any serious lessons and did not leave homework. When get out of class was over, Chen Feier, a girlfriend, came to look for her, and the two went to the milk tea shop at the door.
"Fuck, Manman, that guy just now is your new tablemate? He's so handsome too! Is there any contact information?"
As soon as she left the classroom, Chen Feier began to inquire a series of questions, her eyes gleaming and she was very excited.
Chen Feier and she were best friends when they were in elementary school. Now they are in a high school again, but she is in the ordinary class. She has a very lively temperament, and she is optimistic and outgoing, and she can face it regardless of what happens. This is also why Zhang Man likes to be with her the most. Her happiness can always be passed on to her.
But at this time Zhang Man was a little helpless: "Mayfair, don't make any decisions, he is the one I like."
Chen Feier was a little dazed, and she didn't believe that this kind of words would come out of her mouth without desire and desire.
She seriously suspected that she had heard it wrong.
"what did you just say?"
Zhang Man repeated angrily: "I said, I like him, I want to be with him, that's it."
"..." Chen Feier opened her mouth in a bit of shock, "I'm going, isn't it, Manman, the elm lumps suddenly opened up? No, what's wrong with you, did your mother stimulate you by making new boyfriends?"
As she spoke, she touched her forehead nervously.
Zhang Man smiled helplessly, and patted her hand off: "What nonsense? I'll be serious with you, I want to chase him."
In the previous life, she told Chen Feier that she had liked Li Wei and was already after the transfer. She was also shocked at the time, but she was more relieved. After all, at that time, like other classmates, she already knew about Li Wei, perhaps because she felt that she was fortunate not to be with him.
Chen Feier instantly jumped for joy: "Wow, you said that you spent three years in high school together, Manman, you wanted to betray me on the first day? Even if you look so handsome, you won't be so handsome? Say, have you known each other a long time ago? Others? Otherwise, the speed at which you fall in love will be a match for your mother."
Zhang Man shook his head.
More than just knowing... but she couldn't say anything.
The two walked to the milk tea shop, and Chen Feier ordered a cup of her favorite Boba milk tea with a luxurious milk cover.
Zhang Man ordered two cups of mango sago. She vaguely remembered that Li Wei loved to eat mangoes. In her previous life, she went to his home for physics tuition, and she would take a few each time.
Chen Feier rolled her eyes when she saw that she had bought two cups and said, "No, Manman, you haven't become your boyfriend yet. Are you so considerate? Tsk tusk... I didn't expect to see this one day. You, it’s been a long time to see you. You know that your impression in my heart has always been that of not getting married even in your thirties, because you have no desires and no desires in person!
Zhang Man was amused by her, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. As expected, it was Chen Feier who knew her best. Wasn't she still unmarried in her 30s?
Chen Feier was a little surprised when she saw her smile again: "Manman, you laughed several times today. In fact, you really look good when you smile."
She added another sentence: "Manman, no matter who you like, you are happy."
. ...
Back in the classroom, Zhang Man put a cup of sago on the corner of Li Wei's table, and thoughtfully inserted a straw into him.
The young man was biting his pen and thinking about a formula, and from time to time he calculated a few strokes on the draft paper, without noticing her movements.
A lot of waste paper has been thrown in the paper basket under his drawer.
Zhang Man turned it over, and it was full of complicated formulas, many of which had never been seen by her former high school physics teacher. Moreover, there are still two unopened love letters in the waste paper pile.
Zhang Mantuo looked at him.
When he was thinking about problems, he always had a habit of biting his pen. The golden lacquer on the cap of the pen had fallen off a little. Perhaps he was thinking of a difficult question. His brows were slightly locked, and his long eyelashes cast a shadow on his cheeks.
She likes him like this, her eyes have a focus, and the whole figure suddenly feels alive, no longer like a cold doll.
The picture was still for about five minutes. The boy wrote a few formulas on the paper with a pen, and nodded lightly, as if he was affirming the thinking in his mind.
The pen has a large damping coefficient, and it makes a rustling sound when rubbing against the rough workbook. After finishing the last stroke, he closed the book and his expression gradually became pleasant.
So that when she just raised her head and looked at her, the joy and tenderness in her eyes had not disappeared.
Zhang Man blinked at him, and pushed the mango sago that was on the corner of the table in front of him: "Get tired, have a drink, buy one get one free at the milk tea shop at the door."
At this time, the boy recovered his usual indifference and pushed Sago back to her table.
"I saw you go with your friend."
Zhang Man was taken aback, only to realize that he was saying she was lying. Because she went with a friend, she and Chen Feier should have a drink for one person.
Zhang Man chuckled, sometimes reacting a little slower really couldn't keep up with his thinking.
"Well, I bought it specifically for you. I think it tastes good, would you try it?"
The young man pursed his lips and said nothing. After a long time, he suddenly looked up at her.
His eyes were serious, with a sense of distance from strangers: "What do you want?"
That's what I asked, but his expression was obviously-no matter what you want, you can't get it from me. Her series of actions have reached the limit of his endurance.
