Watching the sea from the shore

Chapter 8 An inevitable acquaintance
Zhan Ping is a very forgetful person. She forgot to bring her school card seven or eight times out of ten times. Each time, she had to wait for a long time, waiting for a group of classmates she knew to hug her in. Students on duty sometimes had no time to look at them one by one.

They stood waiting in front of the canteen. The aunt at the canteen was familiar with Zhan Ping and kept asking her to chat.They talked about the recent popular TV series and which male star suddenly became their new "husband".Ni Manhua didn't want to participate, so he stood aside and watched the students coming and going. He also helped Zhan Ping to see if he knew anyone, so as not to miss it.

Ni Manhua's main observation area was the bus stop. On their side and on the opposite side, buses stopped one after another, and waves of students ran down.In just 10 minutes, five or six students were gathered together.

Fortunately, they came early. It was 55:5, only [-] minutes before class started. Zhan Ping and the canteen owner were still not finished, and the classmates around them were already urging them to go in.

Ni Manhua walked over to pull Zhanping's hand, passed over her shoulder, and saw a person walking slowly towards them not far away.

Ni Manhua's movements stopped immediately.

The two buttons of the school uniform jacket are always fastened together. When walking, one hand should be inserted into the pocket and the other hand should hold the extra strap on the side of the school bag. This is 16-year-old Lu Guanhai.He was walking towards them, head lowered, immersed in his own world.

"Let's go, let's go, why are you holding me here in such a daze?" Zhan Ping wrapped her hands around Ni Manhua's cheeks and rubbed them: "What? Where are you looking at the handsome guy?"

"Stop talking nonsense, come in quickly." The moment Zhan Ping followed Ni Manhua's gaze, Ni Manhua pressed her head and pushed her towards the school.

The group walked into the classroom at the starting point, and Ni Manhua sat down next to the window.After climbing four floors, she felt a little tight in her chest. She reached out to open the window. Zhan Ping beside her took out her textbook and whispered: "Hey, we won't eat in the cafeteria at noon. Someone invites us to eat."

Because the lunch break at noon is not long, day students often do not go home to eat. They eat something in the cafeteria and then lie down on the classroom table.Art students like Ni Manhua and Zhan Ping would occasionally go to the piano room to practice.

I don’t know who invited me to dinner.Zhan Ping has fun at school. Today she has an older brother and she will accept a younger brother tomorrow. Whenever someone invites someone to dinner, she will bring Ni Manhua with her.

But...she didn't bring her school card today. Resident students couldn't leave school at noon, so she was so afraid that she had to ask Jiang Lan to borrow one.

While Ni Manhua was thinking this, several people ran past the window noisily, including Lin Xiang, Wu Bo, and Luo Zheli.Class [-] was right next door to them. The three of them were rushing to class. They glanced in the window when they passed by. Ni Manhua didn't know who they were looking at.

Zhan Pingjian suddenly smiled mischievously: "Look at that kid who looks like a monkey with his collar turned up. I kicked his ass on Saturday."

Ni Manhua was stunned and turned to look at her: "What did you do that day?"

Zhan Ping's grin opened wider, she rolled her eyes, and laughed suddenly as she thought about it.

The math teacher knocked on the podium with the blackboard brush angrily: "Zhan Ping, you want to go outside to have some fun early in the morning, right?"

All nearby students looked over, and Zhan Ping quickly shut up and signaled Ni Manhua to talk to her after class.

But throughout the morning, Zhan Ping went crazy with the boys in the class right after class. Only during the last break, she pulled Ni Manhua to the toilet, as if she had forgotten about it.

The get out of class bell rang, the teacher left, and the students quickly packed their things in their seats.Ni Manhua patted Zhan Ping and asked her to borrow her school card quickly. Jiang Lan packed up her things and went to the cafeteria to grab food very quickly.

Zhan Ping waved her hand, took out a school card from the drawer and threw it on the table. She asked around this morning who didn't go out of school, and finally caught someone with a handsome face and a look that was somewhat similar to hers.

It's just that Ni Manhua looked at the school card for a long time before he regained his senses: "You take the boy's school card and go out, are you really blind as a guard?"

"Then what can I do? You see, his nose is quite similar to mine. I'll say in a moment that I will have short hair when I enter school."

"Why don't you look for Jiang Lan?"

"Didn't I tell you that someone invited her to dinner at noon today?"

Ni Manhua was completely stunned by her.Jiang Lan spends most of her time chasing stars and doesn't have many friends.Besides, Jiang Lan had a meal card in the cafeteria, unlike Ni Manhua and Zhan Ping who only bought meals occasionally at school, so she usually wouldn't go out with them.

At this moment, Jiang Lan had already walked over and urged them to leave quickly. In order to prevent the unknown people from waiting too long, Ni Manhua did not ask any more questions.

Jiang Lan took her to the place, a small restaurant with a small store outside the school.The environment of this restaurant is not bad. If you want a better place, you have to walk to the shopping mall 500 meters away. There is not enough time at noon.

The waiter brought the menu and Zhan Ping started to look at the dishes.Ni Manhua asked Jiang Lan: "Who is inviting us to dinner today? It's not good for you to bring two people."

"I know Zhan Ping from Class [-]." Jiang Lan raised her hand and bumped into Zhan Ping, and they looked at each other and smiled.

From Class [-]?Ni Manhua's scalp tightened and he had a bad feeling.She was sitting in the back seat and could vaguely see several figures outside the glass window.

After a while, they opened the door and walked in.Wu Bo took the lead, stood up and waved his hands as soon as he got close to Zhan Ping: "Skinny monkey, did you just get into a fight with someone?"

There was a brown mud mark on the collar of Wu Bo's white school uniform, which was not there when Ni Manhua saw him in the morning.

Wu Bo looked a little embarrassed at Zhan Ping's teasing eyes: "I bumped into it by accident. The three of us are dormitory students..."

The three dormitory students couldn't borrow that many school cards in the class, and they always had to go out. After discovering a secret dog hole in the school garden, they started to take unusual paths.

But there were not only three of them, they were walking at the end of the road Guanhai, the school uniform was still so clean, the people in front took up all the seats, so he took advantage of the opportunity to sit beside Ni Manhua.

Zhan Ping and Wu Bo are the same type of people. They talk too much and don't take things seriously. They introduced each other word by word. Zhan Ping praised Ni Manhua so much, and Wu Bo praised Lu Guanhai so much. sharp.

Only then did Ni Manhua realize that except her, everyone else at the table knew each other.

In the mall on Saturday, Zhan Ping and Jiang Lan came out of the women's restroom and saw a man lying there furtively looking around. Zhan Ping thought he was a gangster and kicked him in the butt. Unexpectedly, he was actually a gangster. Alumni from the next class.

The person Zhan Ping kicked that day was Wu Bo. Wu Bo said that he recognized Jiang Lan as his cousin and wanted to confirm.Later, they had dinner together and played video games.

They played drums in a competition, and the losers invited them to dinner on Monday. The boys originally wanted to show off their power in front of the girls, but they didn't expect that Jiang Lan had learned drums for eight years and it was a piece of cake to deal with them.
