Chapter 55 Goodbye Afu
A new course has begun.
The learning atmosphere in sixth grade is completely different from that in first grade.
Most of the students here are preparing for the transition from primary to junior high school next year.
Children from elite families are instilled with a competitive spirit from a young age.
Everyone is very self-disciplined.
In the classroom, few people whisper to each other.
Most of the time, the teacher lectures while the students take careful notes.
Because both new students who skipped grades were very good-looking.
Quite a few students would still sneakily peek at them when the teacher wasn't looking.
Teacher Zhang was on the podium, teaching a sixth-grade Chinese text.
Liu Yifei listened very attentively.
Although she had already learned all this knowledge on her own at home.
However, the teacher's teaching approach was somewhat different from what Chen Lang taught her.
Listening to it can also help you review what you've learned and gain new insights.
Chen Lang was even bolder.
He took the advanced English textbook out of his bag, placed it on the table, and began to read it tentatively.
He noticed Teacher Zhang on the podium, who glanced in his direction.
But he quickly looked away, his face showing no surprise or displeasure.
Chen Lang understood.
It seems the principal had already spoken to her beforehand.
Break time between classes.
The classroom immediately became lively.
The classmates gathered in small groups.
They each have their own little circles.
Their conversation revolved entirely around the two newcomers.
Chen Lang and Liu Yifei are four or five years older than them.
However, in terms of height, the difference is not that significant.
Liu Yifei is naturally taller than her peers.
Chen Lang has also grown taller in the past two years.
The two of them sitting together didn't look so out of place.
Chen Lang and Liu Yifei were soon questioned by the two female classmates sitting behind them.
"Hey, did you guys really jump up from first grade?"
How old are you this year?
"That's amazing!"
The two girls in the back seat were named Zhou Ting and Li Li.
They are both very outgoing personalities.
They chattered away, sharing various news from the class with Chen Lang and Liu Yifei.
Who are good friends with whom?
Whose father works in the same company?
Who are the competitors? In exams, everyone has to compete for first or second place.
Who is the class's academic representative and who is the sports representative?
As Chen Lang listened, he observed the atmosphere of the entire class.
Overall, it's not bad.
Compared to the elementary school he attended in the countryside in his previous life.
This elite class at Poyang Street Primary School is simply a model of civility.
There are cliques here, and people who don't like each other.
There are unrequited loves, quarrels, and comparisons.
But overall, everyone is very concerned about appearances.
Civilized, polite, not barbaric.
Any conflicts they have are limited to verbal arguments or covert rivalries.
It won't be like the primary school he attended in his previous life.
At the slightest disagreement, they would form gangs and start brawls.
Each and every one of them took pride in being the leader.
They always talked about knowing which gangster boss they knew, and who they were brothers with.
It's as if that makes you so amazing.
Extorting pocket money from younger students is also a common occurrence.
That chaotic and barbaric atmosphere... Two years later, when a Hong Kong movie called "Young and Dangerous" started playing in video rental stores on every street corner...
It will only get worse.
Compared to that kind of environment.
The class in front of me is already heaven.
Thinking about this, Chen Lang felt that being able to endure life in this environment was not bad.
The two girls in the back seat, Zhou Ting and Li Li, were still chattering away.
As Chen Lang listened, he subtly observed the other students in the class.
These children truly deserve to be from one of the city's most elite families.
Everyone's attire exudes a timeless sophistication.
The boys were wearing clean shirts and shorts.
Her hair was combed meticulously.
Some styled their hair in the classic middle part like Aaron Kwok, while others styled it in the slicked-back style like Chow Yun-fat.
Several boys still had visible traces of hairspray in their hair.
It was shiny and reflected the light.
The girls, in particular, dressed up beautifully.
Various styles of little skirts and little leather shoes.
Her hair was adorned with various pretty hair clips and hair flowers.
Chen Lang also noticed that several girls who developed earlier could already vaguely see the outline of their tank tops.
He was observing with great interest.
Suddenly, I noticed a complicated gaze coming from the other end of the classroom.
Chen Lang followed the gaze and looked over.
I saw someone I knew.
A tall, muscular boy with dark skin.
He's just Ah Fu, who lives in a big compound.
Afu was staring blankly at Chen Lang, his eyes filled with a complex mix of emotions: surprise, wariness, resentment, and longing.
Chen Lang smiled and waved at him.
Seeing his actions, Afu reacted like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
He snorted and arrogantly turned his head away, refusing to look at him again.
But my heart was in turmoil.
Langya!
This is the deepest shadow in his childhood memories.
I never expected to meet you here, in this way.
They even became classmates.
He remembered very clearly that Chen Lang was a short boy when he was a child.
She was more than two heads shorter than him, and looked so thin and small that she would fall over in the wind.
But this guy is cunning and wicked; he'll always be ready to teach someone a lesson.
He immediately lay down on the ground and started crying at the top of his lungs.
She cried so loudly it was earth-shattering.
Then it didn't take long.
Aunt Liu Xiaoli, along with his maternal grandparents, would rush down from upstairs.
Without distinguishing right from wrong, they seized the opportunity to complain to his mother.
He ate countless meals of bamboo shoot stir-fried with pork because of this shorty.
Later, he became afraid and learned to be more careful, so he would avoid Chen Lang whenever he saw him.
Later, Chen Lang's reputation grew louder and louder in the compound.
They called him a bad kid, a cunning little devil.
He is called a musical prodigy.
He also went out less and less, staying at home all day, tinkering with something.
The two hadn't seen each other for several years.
I never expected that this little dwarf would grow so much taller today.
We were even assigned to the same class.
Afu touched his face.
It's as if I can still feel the pain from when Chen Lang threw sandbags at me, leaving my skin red and swollen.
What's most infuriating is...
Even though he suffered so many losses.
His parents at home still nag him all the time.
"Look how smart and polite Langya is."
"Look at you, all you do is run around like crazy all day long."
It's infuriating!
His deskmate next to him nudged his arm.
"Hey, what are you looking at? Your eyes are practically popping out of their sockets."
"Have you taken a liking to that new girl?"
"Wow, she's really beautiful."
