Chapter 203 Give me a massage
The cafeteria of Qingxi Middle School is much larger than that of Baitan Middle School.
There is a neatly arranged row of windows for serving food and dishes, and you don’t need to bring your own lunch box.
It's dinner time now, and the cafeteria is crowded with people.
Following Wen Susu, everyone took their stainless steel plates, lined up to get their meals from the first window, and then went in turn to choose their favorite dishes.
"Wow! Does Qingxi Middle School usually have such good food?"
"The food standard here is much better than our school!"
"I don't even have to buy a meal ticket? It's free?!"
"How is that possible? We have already paid!"
"Yeah, I thought it was free!"
The classmates in the class discussed curiously that eating is the most important thing in life, and if you eat well, you will naturally be in a good mood.
The food expenses, accommodation expenses, and chartered boat travel expenses for the past two days were already paid last week. It was only 25 yuan per student, which is not expensive.
In addition, these two days are the high school entrance examinations, and the school also provides subsidies. The meals are much better than usual. Each person can get two meat dishes, one vegetarian dish, and as much rice and soup as they want.
For foodies, these two days are definitely the happiest time in boarding school.
After queuing up to get the food, Fang Wei went to find a seat. All the classmates came together, so they sat together, and scattered around them were classmates from his class.
"This way!"
Fang Wei raised his hand to greet them, and Xu Cailing, Liu Zhiyi and A Sheng came over with their food trays.
This was a long table, and Du Peipei, Wang Yushan, Ye Xiaoli and others also sat down.
Fang Wei left an empty seat opposite himself and then went to Wen Susu.
Wen Susu is helping everyone make soup now. As the class teacher, she also serves as the soup-making sister.
"Be careful, it's hot."
"Thank you, Teacher Wen!"
Wen Susu placed a bowl of prepared soup on a classmate's plate, then picked up an empty bowl. Quite experienced, she sank the large soup spoon to the bottom, then slowly scooped it up, thus getting a full spoonful of seaweed and egg drops. She then placed the prepared bowl of soup on another classmate's plate.
"Sister, we can do it by ourselves, you can go over and eat."
"Okay~! Did Fang make soup for you?"
"I haven't yet."
So Wen Susu took out two more bowls and poured two bowls of soup, one for Fang Wei and one for herself.
Fang Wei helped carry two bowls of soup to the seat, while Wen Susu put down the soup spoon and followed him with her own plate.
Wen Susu sat down in the empty seat opposite Fang Wei and looked around at the group of students who were almost all from her class. It was also her first time to eat in the cafeteria with everyone!
"After dinner, you can go back to the dormitory and take a shower. You can go to the auditorium to study in the evening, or you can stay in the dormitory to study. The lights in the dormitory will be turned off at 10 o'clock. Don't stay outside for too long before then!"
"understood!"
"Let's eat~!"
Wen Susu explained everything clearly, no matter how big or small. With her company, the classmates did not feel uncomfortable at all during the two days' life in Qingxi Middle School. In this respect, other class teachers are really far behind her.
"Sister, where are you staying tonight?" Fang Wei asked.
"I'm staying outside, in a hotel nearby, just a ten-minute walk. I have to take my stuff over there later."
"I'll go with you then."
"No, just go upstairs and take a shower after dinner and study in the evening."
"Will queuing up for a shower take time?"
"Okay. How about it? Do you think the food here is to your taste?" Wen Susu asked Fang Wei, Cai Lingzhiyi and the others.
"Mmm! It's delicious! And there are braised chicken legs!"
"If you don't have enough food, you can go to Jiaha again!"
"it is good!"
After eating and drinking, everyone dispersed and went back to the dormitory to take a shower and wash clothes.
Fang Wei helped Wen Susu carry her luggage to a hotel outside the school.
The accommodation environment is not as good as the Haicheng Hotel in the city, but it is close to the school, which is what Wen Susu likes.
She didn't have much luggage with her, so if she was staying for two nights, it would be more convenient to stay in a hotel.
The hotel room was quiet. Wen Susu was exhausted after running outside all day. She fell on the soft bed as soon as she entered the room. She felt sore in her back and waist for a while, but she felt very comfortable after lying down.
Apart from Fang Wei, there were no other outsiders here, so naturally there was no need to worry about his image. He just lay there lazily, not wanting to move at all.
“Phew! I’m so tired!”
"..."
Fang Wei was both angry and amused. While putting her luggage away, he said, "Sister, you don't have to come these two days. There are teachers Liu and Wang leading the team. They have led so many students. Are you still worried?"
"Then I have nothing to do. Instead of worrying about you at school, why not come together? There are only two days left anyway."
Thinking of this, Wen Susu felt a little emotional. She lay on the bed with her eyes open, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
"How come time flies so fast? It's already been three years, and you guys are actually going to take the high school entrance exam!"
Every time she picked up their admission tickets and looked at them, Wen Susu couldn't help but think, "Oh my God, my students are already going to take the high school entrance examination?"
When she first saw them on the first day of junior high school, they all looked like elementary school students. In the midst of all the noise, she suddenly realized that so much time had passed. The boys had grown taller, the girls had grown slimmer, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to go to high school, and she herself had to complete three years of tasks. It was incredible...
Finally, Wen Susu concluded:
"It must be because I'm getting older! So my perception of the flow of time has become faster!"
"...That's not the case. I'm still young. I also feel like these three years have passed very quickly."
"Why is it so fast?"
"Because as the saying goes, happy times are always short-lived!"
"..."
Wen Susu chuckled, being amused by him. But when she thought about it, she did have a very happy life in the past three years. Even though there were some minor incidents in between, it was undeniable that the experiences of these three years would leave a strong mark in her life.
“Although time passes quickly, there are many things left for us to remember.”
Fang Wei continued, "From the cafeteria to the playground, from the classroom to the campus, from the blackboard to the exercise book, from the sports meet to the spring outing, for us, Sister's figure is everywhere. Looking back on the past three years, it is also a long and melodious memory. Whenever I miss these days, Sister's presence cannot be avoided, hidden, or forgotten."
"Hahaha...what you said makes me feel so important!"
"It's not a feeling. Sister is really important to us."
"~~~"
Fang Wei's affirmation seemed to replenish Wen Susu's energy, and she felt inexplicably full and proud.
She sat up suddenly, which scared Fang Wei.
"...Sister, are you going to take a shower?"
"Forget it...just lie down for a while."
"??"
After saying that, she lay back down limply.
After all, Wen Susu thinks that she is not a very self-disciplined person. She can be lazy, hate thinking, and want to lie down. She also has all the shortcomings of human nature.
Sometimes she would worry that if she exposed her lazy and stupid side to Fang Wei, it would greatly reduce his image of her as a teacher. However, she did not expect that she would become more real in Fang Wei's heart. Perhaps she was the most intimate sister in Fang Wei's words, rather than the distant teacher.
"Sister, do you need help massaging your shoulders?" Fang Wei asked casually.
But I didn't expect her to agree without hesitation, and waved lazily, "Come here and give me a shoulder massage."
"...Sister, do you really treat me like a beast of burden?!"
"That's what you said yourself, hurry up."
"..."
Wen Susu turned over and lay down, so Fang Wei had no choice but to come over to massage her shoulders and pat her back.
"Is the strength okay?"
"Hmm~ a little to the left... huh, right here..."
"Are you comfortable?"
"Hmm~"
Seeing her quiet for a long time, when I looked closely, I found that she had fallen asleep with her eyes closed...
"Sister! Sister! Don't sleep! If you sleep now, you won't have to sleep at night!"
Fang Wei shook her awake without any hesitation.
Wen Susu was furious.
"You disturbed my sweet dream!!"
……
When Fang Wei returned to the dormitory, A Sheng and his friends were having a water fight.
The weather was hot and humid at the moment, so there was no need to get hot water for a shower. The boys in the dormitory didn't need to queue up for a shower. A group of people gathered on the balcony, wearing only shorts, holding basins and buckets, and had a great time having a water fight.
After the water fight, I took a bath and went downstairs with my review materials.
The evenings in midsummer are particularly long. At seven o'clock in the evening, the sky is still bright, with a brilliant orange in the west, but the lights on campus have already been lit one by one.
Most of the classrooms at Qingxi Middle School are closed off and used as examination rooms, and students can go to the auditorium and tiered classrooms to study.
When Fang Wei arrived at the auditorium, he saw Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi who had arrived here early.
The two of them were sitting together with the girls in the same dormitory. They had just finished taking a shower. Without a hair dryer, the girls' hair was still wet and draped over their shoulders. Under the light, their pretty faces looked youthful and fair.
There were no empty seats around, so Fang Wei sat down not far in front of them.
But after a while, the two girls changed seats and sat next to him, one on the left and one on the right.
"Let's review together!"
"…You'd better review."
"You talk like we want to talk to you!"
The exams tomorrow morning are Chinese and history, so tonight’s review will focus on Chinese and history.
Wen Susu sorted out the key knowledge and essential ancient poems of the three years of Chinese language in advance, and printed them out into several sheets of review materials. This way, when reviewing, everyone doesn't have to look through several Chinese textbooks themselves, they just need to look at these sheets of material.
Mainly there were some things to memorize. Xu Cailing sat on his left, sometimes looking at the information, sometimes looking up at the void, and reciting in a low voice; Liu Zhiyi sat on his right, but made no sound at all.
Fang looked at it for a while, then acted as the examiner, closed their materials, and randomly gave them some questions to recite.
"I met a scout at Xiaoguan Pass, and he said the Protector General was at Yanran. What was the previous sentence?"
"......Uh." Xu Cailing thought.
"A lone smoke rises straight in the desert, and the sun sets over the long river." Almost in an instant, Liu Zhiyi successfully answered the question.
"Oh my, you have to do it in order. If you do it in reverse order, I need to recite it from beginning to end. I actually know it!"
"That means you are not familiar with it yet and can't recite it by heart!"
"Again, Zhiyi is amazing! To be fair, she has to wait three seconds before she can answer!"
"Yeah, that's right. It should be weakened."
Fang Wei nodded and continued to ask questions: "I only love the lotus that grows out of the mud but remains unstained... then?"
"It is clean and pure, but not coquettish. It is straight inside and outside, without vines or branches. Its fragrance becomes clearer as it spreads farther away. It stands tall and clean. You can admire it from afar but not play with it!"
This time, Xu Cailing successfully answered the question and was able to feel proud.
After asking several rounds of questions, Fang Wei also found that as long as the question was about the 'previous sentence', even with a three-second reduction, Liu Zhiyi could successfully answer it, while Cai Ling, who could not recite the question fluently, could only answer the 'next sentence' question.
Fang Wei would alternately say the previous sentence and the next sentence, just like playing badminton, allowing the two girls to successfully catch the ball.
In fact, this kind of question is much better for consolidating memory than simple memorization.
There are almost no students in the class who don’t know how to memorize these ancient poems and verses that are required for Chinese language learning. After all, it is Teacher Wen’s class!
After reviewing Chinese and history, the three of them started to review physics and chemistry. These were the subjects for the exam tomorrow afternoon and were also the subjects that the two girls were not very good at.
Wen Susu was not idle either. After taking a shower at the hotel, she came over to watch them study and did not return to the hotel until the evening study was over.
"Everyone should have a good rest tonight. Don't talk or play after the lights are turned off! After getting up and having breakfast tomorrow, gather here on time at 7:20. I will give you your admission tickets then!"
"Got it~!"
"Okay, let's go back and rest!"
"Good night, Teacher Wen~!"
"Good night everyone~~"
……
Of course I can't sleep.
On a sultry summer night, lying on a hard bed, he kept thinking about tomorrow's exam and what he would do after the exam. Even Fang Wei, who usually had a good sleep, couldn't fall asleep.
There was a sound of tossing and turning coming from the upper bunk, and Fang Wei kicked the bed board in annoyance.
"Hey, Ah Sheng, are you practicing up there?"
"I can't sleep! Have you slept yet?"
"Don't toss and turn, I might fall asleep."
"Da Ge, A Lei, Hai Bo...are you asleep?"
"No, there's a mosquito flying around my face...!"
Well, no one in the dormitory could sleep.
So let's just talk together.
A lot of things were talked about, and perhaps a long time later, Fang Wei would not remember what everyone talked about that night, but he would always remember that everyone talked for a very long time that night, so long that someone fell asleep first and started snoring.
"… Shit, who's asleep? Snoring so loudly?"
"Is that the position Haibo?"
"It's really him!"
"It would be nice to have a tape recorder! I really need to record his snoring!"
"Hahaha……"
The chatter gradually died down, and Fang Wei finally felt sleepy. Listening to the snoring in the dormitory, he fell asleep unknowingly...
