Chapter 4: first love

Seeing the thick and magnificent gates of Yuning Middle School and the students who have entered one after another, Zhou Hao's heart again filled with emotion, how long hasn't he returned. Taking a deep breath, he tightened the bag on his back and stepped into the school gate.
The scenery in Yuning Middle School is no different from what Zhou Hao remembered. On both sides of the school road are rows of lush banyan trees. The simple teaching building over there is shining in the sun, and the new gymnasium in the distance is still there. During the construction, only the outer layer of bamboo rafts and net cloth can be seen.
Following the path in my memory, I came to the first grade of the second grade, and saw that many classmates had gathered in the class room. Looking at the faces that were once familiar but then strange, they now appeared in front of him, Zhou Hao's heart An unspeakable emotion arose. Looking up at the nameplate of the "Class Two and One Class" at the door, Zhou Hao stepped into the classroom.
"Zhou Hao, morning." A boy with short hair cut short and slightly obese gave Zhou Hao a bright smile.
Seeing this chubby boy, the memories of the last life came to mind again. This boy is called Liu Shichao, he is Zhou Hao's deskmate, and also Zhou Hao's best classmate and friend in middle school. After graduation, Liu Shichao went to Beijing to run around, and only occasionally contacted Zhou Hao. Zhou Hao is really a bit excited now seeing his friend from many years ago, but he can't show it, so he can only smile and say to him: "You are too early."
"Where did you go yesterday? I went to your house to find you, but there is no one in your house." Liu Shichao asked while plagiarizing Zhou Hao's homework.
Thinking of borrowing money from Zhou Lichang's house yesterday and being ridiculed by Xu Yongwei, Zhou Hao felt annoyed again and vowed to "repay" their family well in the future. At the same time, he said to Liu Shichao: "No, I accompanied my mother to work yesterday. "
Liu Shichao buried his head in copying his homework, "But I saw that the girl opposite your house seems to be waiting for you to come back." When he said that, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes narrowed and there was only one gap left, "Zhou Hao, from the truth. Ah, who is that girl? She looks beautiful, much better than the girls in our class."
As soon as he finished speaking, the freckled girl in the seat in front of him suddenly turned around and glared at him, "No matter how beautiful, no matter how bad, I won't look at you, nasty fat man!"
"Hi, hey! I said you called me a fat man, I just forget it, but why do you always love to add the word ‘dead’ in front of it, it’s very unlucky." Liu Shichao protested angrily.
"Just tell you to be fat, what can you do with me?" Not only was this girl not afraid of Liu Shichao, but she also held her head high and looked like she was going to fight Liu Shichao.
"You" Liu Shichao really didn't dare to do anything with her. After all, it is common for boys to fight, but if you fight a girl, you will not be able to look up during the entire middle school period. Besides, he didn't really mean to be with her.
And Zhou Hao, who was next to him, couldn't help but feel a little funny when he looked at the Huanxi friend. This girl was called Luo Hui, and she didn't look at Liu Shichao during her middle school period, and she often quarreled over trivial matters. But they got married in a flash after graduating from college, which surprised everyone. When Liu Shichao was the best man, he said to Zhou Hao bitterly: "When I saw her in middle school, I knew that I was destined to be destroyed by her for the rest of my life."
At this time, the girl at the table with Luo Hui slightly pulled her hand and whispered, "Stop making trouble, class is about to begin."
Seeing the girl's profile, Zhou Hao patted his forehead and said in his heart: "There is still her, why did I forget?"
This girl is called Gao Jingyi and she is very beautiful. At this time, Wang Xijun can't compare with her. She is a veritable class flower in Zhou Hao's class. Many senior boys have pursued her, but she is very proud of her temper. Everyone is cold and indifferent, and Zhou Hao has never heard of her having a relationship with him. In later class gatherings, Zhou Hao also occasionally saw her. At that time, she was more beautiful and mature than she was in high school, but she has remained single and never saw her bring her boyfriend to the gathering.
When sitting behind her, Zhou Hao could occasionally see her white neck inadvertently exposed, which brought great visual impact and psychological disturbance to Zhou Hao at that time.
While immersed in the memories of the past, a white Li Ying entered the classroom and walked straight to the podium, and said in a very clear and sweet voice to the students below: "Well, classmates, we are about to start class."
Called back to Shenlai by this familiar voice, Zhou Hao looked at the podium with a little excitement, his heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
The people on the stage have beautiful black hair, big bright eyes and cherry-like red lips. When they smile, they can always give people a comfortable feeling like a spring breeze, unknowingly warming others’ heart. At this time, she was wearing a creamy white shirt with a gray skirt over the knee, which looked generous and dignified.
This beautiful woman is the class teacher of the second and first class and the English teacher of this class-Li Ruolan.
Li Ruolan graduated from the Teachers College this year, and became Zhou Hao's class teacher in the first year, and she is only about 23 years old now.
For Zhou Hao, compared to the childhood sweetheart Wang Xijun and Gao Jingyi, who is aloof and imaginative, Li Ruolan is his true first love, even if it is only a one-sided secret love.
The reason why Zhou Hao in his last life desperately pursued Zeng Ying was because Zeng Ying looked a bit like Li Ruolan.
Zhou Hao felt that Li Ruolan was a bit like Liu Yifei, the popular actress of the last life, giving people a pure feeling. However, Zhou Hao felt that by comparison, Li Ruolan was much more beautiful than Liu Yifei.
In order to get Li Ruolan's attention, Zhou Hao worked very hard in the English course and won the first prize in the English Olympiad. However, things backfired. Zhou Hao's excellent English performance made Li Ruolan very relieved, and instead focused on the poor students.
"How can I not participate in that Olympics this time." Zhou Hao thought in his heart as he stared at Li Ruolan on the stage: "I have to deliberately release the water in the future English exams. It is best to ask Teacher Li to give me one. Individual tutoring."
Li Ruolan's lectures are very serious. Because of her own solid skills and her own English learning experience, the English performance of the second and first class of junior high school has always led the entire age. In addition, many boys in the class admire Li Ruolan as much as Zhou Hao. The seriousness in English class is not available in other subjects.
Whenever Li Ruolan's gaze shifted to this side, Zhou Hao would immediately sit down, fearing that it would leave a bad impression on her. Even Liu Shichao, who was next to him, often passed a note to Zhou Hao, writing on it what kind of clothes Teacher Li was wearing today. It was so pretty.
When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Li Ruolan's gentle voice curled up, "Zhou Hao, come here."
Zhou Hao was taken aback, only to remember that the tuition fees he had brought had not yet been paid. Li Ruolan told herself that it was for this matter, so she quickly got up from her seat and left the classroom behind Li Ruolan.
As Li Ruolan came to the English teaching and research section of the office building, the other teachers were all attending classes, so there were only Li Ruolan and Zhou Hao in this large office.
"Ms. Li, this is my tuition for this year. Don't worry, it has been delayed for so long." Zhou Hao handed Li Ruolan the tuition in the envelope.
Seeing the envelope handed by Zhou Hao, Li Ruolan paused for a while, and then smiled slightly, "I also want to tell you that if you really have difficulties at home, I can help you apply for bursaries from the school."
Seeing Li Ruolan's smile like an orchid, Zhou Hao was very moved, shook his head and said, "No, Teacher Li, I'm fine."
Li Ruolan sat in a chair and looked at Zhou Hao sideways, "Zhou Hao, the teacher knows that you study hard and also know that your family’s financial pressure is great. The teacher hopes that you can overcome difficulties. You must know that only knowledge can make the family out of trouble. If you need help from the teacher, just speak up, and the teacher will do his best to help you."
"I know the teacher, I will." Zhou Hao disagrees with Li Ruolan's words. In many cases, knowledge can't help him get rid of the cruel reality. However, Zhou Hao is still very useful to Li Ruolan's concern. Moreover, Zhou Hao, who was standing next to Li Ruolan, could smell her fragrance.
"Right, one more thing."
"Huh?" Zhou Hao suddenly recovered.
I saw Li Ruolan handing a paper to Zhou Hao, "Your English score is also top-notch, so the teacher wants you to participate in this year's English Olympiad."
When Zhou Hao heard the words, he thought that Teacher Li really wanted to let himself participate in the English Olympiad. He immediately wanted to refuse, "Mr. Li, my English is not good. I have not mastered a lot of grammar. I am afraid that I will lose the face of the school when I go to the competition."
"Why?" Li Ruolan smiled softly, "You ranked third in English for the final exam last semester. If you want to say that this kind of score is not good, the other students in the class are not good. Worse?" After thinking about it, she said: "Or, since you said you have a lot of grammar you haven't mastered, then the teacher will help you with tutoring."
"Tutoring alone?" Zhou Hao asked hurriedly, because the prefect in his fifties gave them English tutoring when he participated in the Olympic competition in his last life.
But at this time Li Ruolan also thought of the problem, "However, it seems that the class has already decided, let the prefect Xiang give you these participating students after-school tutoring."
Zhou Hao immediately shook his head, "No, teacher, I have to go home to help my mother after school. Those who can't stay at school can't participate in the remedial class of the prefect."
"That's it, then let me talk to the classlier and let me go to your house to give you counseling at night."
"Really?" Zhou Hao was very excited to be alone with his first love.
Seeing Zhou Hao's excited expression, Li Ruolan thought he was keen on this competition, "I can't decide it yet, I have to explain your special situation to the level, hope the level will approve it."
Zhou Hao said, "Anyway, thank you teacher."
"If you want more teachers, then work harder in the competition." Li Ruolan smiled.
"Teacher, don't worry, there will be no problems with that competition. I will give you the first prize certificate to the teacher at that time!" Zhou Hao knows the topic of the competition, and of course he has absolute confidence.
