Chapter 19: First Love

  Northeastern Wild Fairy Tales Record

  Autumn went and spring came, the first semester passed in my daily cycling days, and my ears were also frozen by the Northeast weather. In the second semester, before school started, my mother found me a place to live, which was a student dormitory run by my class teacher's family.

  There were more than 20 people, each paying 500 yuan per semester, and also got a bag of potatoes as my food allowance. The meals were neither good nor bad, I guess that's just the way it is when many people eat together.

  Everyone was eating together from the big pot of rice, and every time they ate, it was like a scramble for food, quickly shoveling the rice into their mouths, as if they were afraid that there would be no more food to eat in the next moment.

  So I quietly and busily lived in the dormitory of the class teacher's home, why say quietly and busy.

  Since I started school, I haven't encountered anything like a wild immortal again, and I also haven't heard any news about this since I started school.

  As time went by, my mind was no longer focused on this news, but instead shifted to learning. Since I started high school, it seemed like my brain had opened up, and studying all subjects became very easy. I liked sleeping a lot and was quite lazy. So at the class teacher's house, I never studied in the evenings, and every day I went to bed early. But during the final exams, I surprisingly scored 15th place out of over 600 students in my grade. This result shocked my class teacher, who knew what I did every day since I lived with him.

  But after seeing my grades, the class teacher's eyes seemed to have a hint of genius. A genius is nothing more than that, and so I started getting busy.

  The class teacher's name is Chen Jia Ying, a very kind person with a good heart. He genuinely likes students who are good at studying. And I'm exactly the type of student he likes - clever and quick to understand.

  So they started cultivating me as a university seedling, and every day after going back, I was not allowed to rest. After finishing dinner, all the students would sit together at the table to study, and I couldn't go to bed early either.

  Because our class teacher specially designed homework for me, I have to finish it every day before going to sleep. As long as I do it well, I can go out and play, but if I don't finish it, I'm not allowed to go out.

  Moreover, the class teacher is a versatile person who can teach mathematics, English and chemistry. Every day, I have to do three sets of exercises for these subjects, which has made me feel like I'm in a sea of questions and it's really frustrating.

  My dormitory classmates look at me with envy and jealousy every day, because the head teacher gave me a small stove, while my other classmates did not have this opportunity, so they are all envious.

  But when they saw what I had to do every day, they all smiled with schadenfreude.

  Every evening when it's time for self-study, they would watch me with schadenfreude, and I could only grit my teeth and force myself to do the exercises. During that period of time, I reckon at least several million of my brain cells died.

  Unfortunately, our class teacher is a contract worker of the school. The education bureau has started to dismiss these contract teachers and some newly graduated university students have come to teach us instead.

  So, the head teacher lost his job and took his whole family to the south in order to find work. He said he was going to be a tutor for other people's children, but with the head teacher's knowledge, he would be a first-rate teacher wherever he went.

  With a sense of regret and reluctance, the dormitory in the teacher's home was disbanded, and the teacher also left.

  Before leaving, the head teacher also had a private conversation with me, telling me that I must study hard, remember that knowledge can change one's fate, and some other big principles. Anyway, the core is to study hard and have a good future.

  This also shows that the head teacher had great expectations for me, unfortunately I disappointed his expectations. After he left, our class students started to get out of control and the new head teacher and teachers were unable to manage us.

  The whole school was also famous, and our class was recognized as the most difficult to manage.

  Later on, the school had no choice but to assign our physical education group leader as our class teacher, who didn't teach classes but served as our class advisor.

  This is just the beginning, and it's not over yet. What happens next is actually more serious than what happened in class, because everyone has started dating early. The youthful and lively atmosphere between boys and girls has spread throughout the class, and everyone's eyes are eagerly scanning the girls' faces and bodies.

  And I was honored to become a carrier pigeon between them, becoming a messenger for delivering love letters.

  At that time, everyone's words were written on a piece of paper, folded into various shapes, such as a thousand paper cranes, heart-shaped, and all sorts of strange and peculiar letter papers passing through my hands began to fly around in the hands of boys and girls.

  In the first semester of my freshman year, I was busy rushing by, and my grades, because of the foundation laid by my class teacher in the previous period, ranked 20th in the final exam of the whole grade. This also made my parents and grandmother smile every day, thinking that our old Zhou family would produce a college student.

  Tunzi's waist is getting harder and harder, isn't that what the old saying says!

  Twenty years ago, it was "look at the father and respect the son", twenty years later, it is "look at the son and respect the father".

  Although I'm only 14 years old and haven't reached 20 yet, because of my good academic performance, the whole village thinks that my parents have raised a good son, so they are increasingly polite to them.

  It made my parents feel invigorated and extremely happy for a while, every day they were all smiles and couldn't close their mouths.

  At that time, the rural conditions were not as good as they are now, so it was rare to see children going to college. Being able to attend a university was like being a top scholar.

  And now I'm studying so well, if it continues like this and I get into a university, that would be equivalent to our village producing a top scholar, think about it, isn't that impressive?

  Children are playful by nature, and men's instincts make it hard for them to resist women's curiosity and admiration, so they start to indulge in each other.

  To be honest, things are still a bit inexplicable between me and this girl I know. It's more like she pursued me, not the other way around where I actively pursued her.

  When the head teacher didn't leave, I was the key person for class management. Every day, it was me who opened the classroom door. Later, the head teacher changed, but the key has always been with me.

  In my second year of high school, I changed to a new dormitory, but it was also run by teachers. However, the evening self-study sessions were particularly strict. If you didn't reach the required time, you weren't allowed to sleep at all, which almost drove me crazy. Every day during self-study, I couldn't help but secretly fall asleep on my desk.

  One day, I arrived at school in the morning and saw my classmates standing at the entrance of our classroom, chatting about something. When they saw me coming, the girl who had been chasing me ran up to me and asked me to open the door.

  At that time, a friend Wang Yu who often played with us said I shouldn't open it. Later on, I didn't know why either, so I just stood there listening to one person telling me to open the door and another not allowing me to open it, and for a moment, I was at a loss.

  At this time, the girl who was chasing me, her name is Sheng Yanqiu, said to me "Just say whether you open the door today or not, I'm going in now!"

  I saw that she was a bit unhappy, how can a man make a woman unhappy, and usually there is some good feeling, at this time they have not become objects yet.

  It was just a good feeling, and in that instant when she looked at me, I don't know where the courage and boldness came from, maybe it was because of love.

  I just arrived at the back door of the classroom. The back door used to be open all the time, but after the new teacher came, it was locked again, and this lock was put on yesterday.

  I kicked it open with one foot at the back door.

  Bang...

  The door opened, I turned around and smiled at Sheng Yanqiu: "Look, the door is open, you can go in now."

  Shengyan Qiu looked at me with a gaze that might have had a hint of happiness in it, anyway she smiled especially brightly and walked in.

  Wang Yu came over to me and gave me a thumbs up, saying: "Awesome, you're so cool, I give in. Wait for the class teacher to find you."

  After finishing, I didn't go out the front door either, but went in through the back door. Then I took out my key and opened the front door. Some classmates later saw that both the front and back doors were open and curiously asked their fellow students why the back door was also open.

  They all pointed at me and said I was the one who kicked it open.

  That night, Sheng Yanqiu came to my side and said to me: "Hey, thank you for today. By the way, I saw Li Yan put something in your school bag, it seemed like a necklace or something, won't she be confessing to you? Go take a look! I'm leaving!"

  After finishing speaking, he left with his backpack. After I finished my shift, I also saw that thing in the backpack. It was a necklace, and to this day, I still remember it was a cross on an iron chain.

  And inside there was a love letter, which was the first love letter I received, the first love letter I got since **, and also the only one I got afterwards.

  The letter reads: I fell in love with you the first time I saw you. Today, I bought a necklace for you, hoping you'll like it. Wishing you progress in your studies and happiness every day.

  It's just these few words, and behind them is a heart shape with an arrow through it, meaning "pierced by one arrow".

  At that time, I really thought it was Li Yan who gave me a love letter, and later I realized it was Sheng Yanqiu's.

  Moreover, it was because she couldn't bear me being in contact with Li Yan every day and getting jealous that she confessed to me.

  It was then that I found my first love in the second year of junior high school.

  Even now, I still often recall the scene of our first kiss, but everything that happened later made it just a memory of memories.
