章节七

F中是开放式教学，封闭式管理的先驱。基本上北京的孩子都听说过这所学校。

F Middle School is a pioneer of open-style teaching and closed management. Basically, all children in Beijing have heard of this school.

他们校长很有商业头脑，当年第一个高举素质教育的大旗，紧跟形势大步发展。通过各种宣传报道，一下子把沉寂很久的F中推上了教育界前列。

The principal is very business-minded and was the first to raise the banner of quality education, quickly developing in line with the changing situation. Through various promotional reports, F Middle School, which had been quiet for a long time, was suddenly propelled into the forefront of the education sector.

曾经流传一个关于F中校长的故事，他的爱车被学生不小心从楼上掉下的书砸了个大坑。

There was once a story that circulated about the principal of F Middle School, where a student accidentally dropped a book from upstairs, creating a big dent on his beloved car.

他当时赶到现场之后说的第一句话竟然是：“砸的好！砸车没事，千万不能砸到我的学生！”从此之后，该校长声名在外，名利双收。

When he arrived at the scene, his first words were surprisingly: "Great job! It's fine if my car gets hit, just don’t let it hit my students!" From that moment on, the principal became famous, gaining both fame and fortune.

现在所谓的那些推手炒作比起他来，那真是差了档次。

Compared to the so-called promoters of today, they really fall short.

因为是封闭式管理，所以规矩也多，上学必须穿校服，女生不能留披肩发，课桌要带桌套，就连中午休息未经许也不可以离校。

Because of the closed management, there are many rules: students must wear uniforms, girls cannot have long hair, desks must have covers, and during lunch breaks, students cannot leave the school without permission.

所有学生都在学校吃午饭，统一订餐，各班每天分别领自己班的饭箱回去。然后大家自由组合，把课桌腾出来吃饭。

All students have lunch at school, with meals ordered uniformly; each class receives its own lunch box every day. Then everyone freely groups together, clearing the desks to eat.

第二天中午，没经陈寻和乔燃同意，赵烨就把他们吃饭的阵容扩大为了五个人。

The next day at noon, without the consent of Chen Xun and Qiao Ran, Zhao Ye expanded their lunch group to five people.

“再搬个桌子！拿俩凳！”赵烨吩咐陈寻。

"Get another table! Grab a couple of stools!" Zhao Ye instructed Chen Xun.

“干吗呀？”

"What for?"

“今天中午咱们和方茴，门玲草一起吃饭！”

"We're having lunch with Fang Hui and Men Lingcao today!"

“啊？！”

"Ah?!"

“快点啊！我和乔燃还得帮她们拿饭呢，别站着了。”赵烨蹦蹦跳跳的跑走。

"Hurry up! Qiao Ran and I still have to help them get their food, stop standing around." Zhao Ye skipped away.

陈寻暗骂了赵烨的祖宗八辈外加子孙后代，不情不愿的码好了桌子。

Chen Xun cursed Zhao Ye's ancestors and their future descendants under his breath but reluctantly arranged the tables.

门玲草，外号小草，是方茴在班里唯一关系不错的女同学，但交好范围也仅局限为一起吃饭，上厕所什么的。

Men Lingcao, nicknamed Xiaocao, was the only girl in the class that Fang Hui got along well with, but their friendship was limited to eating together and going to the bathroom at the same time.

她可不像方茴那么安静，是个爱说爱笑、活泼可爱的女孩。刚开学的时候，她拿了个记事本，让每个同学把家里电话都写了下来。

Unlike Fang Hui, who was quiet, she was a chatty, cheerful girl. At the beginning of the school year, she took a notebook and asked every student to write down their home phone numbers.

那会没有学生用手机，诺基亚均价6000，爱立信还没和索尼合并，出了一个翻盖型的就标价7200，不说手机，连BP机都上千。

Back then, no students had mobile phones; Nokia phones averaged around 6000 yuan, and Ericsson hadn’t merged with Sony yet. When they released their flip phone, it was priced at 7200 yuan. Not to mention mobile phones, even pagers cost over a thousand.

这根本是高中生想都不敢想的东西，学生们联系，都是用家里座机。因此她和班里同学自然而然就熟悉了。

These were luxuries that high school students couldn’t even dream of; students contacted each other using their home landlines. Therefore, she naturally became familiar with her classmates.

“既然你邀请我们一起吃饭了，赵烨，你以后得主动拿饭啊！”小草拿筷子点着赵烨说。

"Since you've invited us to lunch, Zhao Ye, you have to actively get the food from now on!" Xiaocao poked Zhao Ye with her chopsticks.

“行行行！”赵烨点头。

"Okay, okay!" Zhao Ye nodded.

“陈寻，你就负责搬桌椅吧，乔燃负责吃完饭后擦桌子。”小草继续吩咐。

"Chen Xun, you just handle the tables and chairs, and Qiao Ran will wipe down the tables after we finish eating." Xiaocao continued to give orders.

乔燃笑笑没说话，陈寻说：“那你……们干什么啊？”

Qiao Ran smiled but didn’t spoke, while Chen Xun asked, "Then what are you all doing?"

说“们”的时候他停顿了一下，整顿饭方茴都没怎么说话，他还没把她归入这个团体内。

He paused when he said "you all"; throughout the meal, Fang Hui hadn’t said much, and he hadn’t categorized her into their group yet.

“我们负责吃啊！”小草又笑了，两个酒窝闪了闪，很好看。“当然，可以顺便帮你们把桌套撤下来。”

"We're in charge of eating!" Xiaocao laughed again, her dimples flashing charmingly. "Of course, we can also help you take the covers off the tables."

“你就吃吧！你看看你，现在脸就是人方茴两大了，再吃小心变猪啊！”赵烨比划着说。

"Just eat! Look at you, your face is already bigger than Fang Hui's, be careful or you'll turn into a pig!" Zhao Ye gestured as he spoke.

“讨厌！”门玲草把刚擦完嘴的面巾扔了过去，她不服气的捂着脸蛋说，“方茴就是脸小占便宜，看着瘦，其实身上也挺有肉的。”

"You're so annoying!" Men Lingcao threw the napkin she had just wiped her mouth with at him and poutingly said, "Fang Hui is just small-faced, she looks skinny but actually has a lot of meat."

三男生不自觉的往方茴身上看去，方茴脸腾一下红了，嘴唇动了动，愣没说出话。

The three boys unconsciously glanced at Fang Hui, who blushed and moved her lips but couldn't say anything.

乔燃赶紧收回目光，岔开话题说：“赵烨，你今天训练么？”

Qiao Ran quickly withdrew his gaze and changed the subject, asking, "Zhao Ye, do you have training today?"

“不训练！”赵烨转向方茴笑眯眯的说：“今天咱们还一起回家吧。”

"No training!" Zhao Ye grinned at Fang Hui, saying, "Today let's go home together."

“嗯。”方茴点了点头。

"Mm." Fang Hui nodded.

“啊？你们？一起回家？”门玲草惊讶的说，“赵烨你家……”

"Huh? You guys? Going home together?" Men Lingcao exclaimed in surprise, "Zhao Ye, your home..."

“我家住德外。”赵烨咬牙切齿的打断她。

"I live in Dewai." Zhao Ye interrupted her through gritted teeth.

陈寻看了门玲草一眼，她会意的点点头，做恍然大悟状，笑得一脸奸诈。

Chen Xun glanced at Men Lingcao, who nodded in understanding and pretended to realize something, smiling slyly.

“哦哦，是德外！”

"Oh, oh, Dewai!"

在回家的路上，赵烨很喧闹。

On the way home, Zhao Ye was quite talkative.

他没办法，如果他不说话，那两个人就会一直安静的骑下去，哦不，说一句话，最后分别的时候说白白……

He had no choice; if he didn’t talk, the two would remain quiet the whole ride, oh no, adding silence to their parting.

所以他只能不停地说，不过他也不觉得辛苦，他最擅长的第一是打球，第二就是说话。

So he had to keep talking, and he didn’t find it burdensome either; his two specialties were playing basketball and talking.

“方茴，你冷吗？”

"Fang Hui, are you cold?"

“不冷。”

"Not cold."

“要不我把手套给你？没事，别客气，我不冷！”

"How about I give you my gloves? It's no problem, I'm not cold!"

“不用了，谢谢！”

"No thanks!"

“方茴，你知道么，你破了我一个记录！”

"Fang Hui, did you know you broke a record of mine?"

“什么啊？”

"What kind?"

“我吧，从小学到初中到高中，绝对一周之内，和全班同学都混熟。可是你，居然一个月都没和我说过一句话！”

"Since elementary school to junior high to high school, I’ve definitely gotten familiar with all my classmates within a week. But you, surprisingly, didn’t say a word to me for a whole month!"

“是吗？”

"Really?"

“是啊！你是不是讨厌我啊？”

"Yeah! Do you hate me?"

“没有。”

"No."

“那我就放心了，要不我高中生活就有遗憾了啊！”

"Then I can relax, or I’d regret my high school life!"

方茴看了他一眼，不好意思地笑了笑。

Fang Hui glanced at him and smiled shyly.

赵烨也笑了笑，他觉得方茴很有意思，和其他的女生不一样。虽然沉默，但是不做作。有时钝钝的，很可爱。

Zhao Ye smiled back, thinking Fang Hui was quite interesting and different from other girls. Although she was quiet, she was genuine. Sometimes she seemed a bit dull, which was quite cute.

“对了，你初中那个学校的？”

"By the way, which school did you attend for junior high?"

方茴猛的煞住车，很警觉似的看着他问：“干吗？”

Fang Hui abruptly stopped her bike, looking at him sharply and asking, "Why do you want to know?"

“啊？”方茴的态度的转变让赵烨一时难以适应，明明刚才还和煦春风呢，转眼就寒风冽冽了。

"Ah?" Zhao Ye was caught off guard by Fang Hui's sudden change in attitude; she had been so friendly just moments before, now it felt like winter had arrived.

“就……就是问问……你初中哪儿的……”他有些结巴的说。

"I just… just wanted to ask… where was your junior high school…." He stuttered out.

“我不是本校考的，以前在很次的一个学校。”方茴大概也觉得不妥，说了很长的一句话回应。

"I didn’t attend this school; I was at a very low-ranked school before." Fang Hui probably felt it was inappropriate to divulge this and gave a long response.

“哦，哦。没什么，我也不是本校的，我们学校更次，我中考全校第一，总分才556，要不是体育特长，根本来不了咱学校。”

"Oh, oh. It’s nothing, I’m not from this school either; our school is even worse. I was first in the whole school in the high school entrance exam, with a total score of only 556. If it weren't for my sports specialty, I wouldn’t even be able to come to our school."

赵烨以为她有些自卑，忙开解她。

Zhao Ye thought she felt a bit inferior and hurried to cheer her up.

方茴抬起头，局促地笑了笑，恳切地说：“以后别提初中的事了，也别和别人说，好吗？”

Fang Hui looked up, awkwardly smiled, and earnestly said, "Let's not talk about junior high in the future, and don’t tell others, okay?"

“没问题，咱俩一起保密，拉钩上吊一百年不变！”赵烨信誓旦旦的说。

"No problem, we’ll keep it secret together, pinky swear for a hundred years!" Zhao Ye promised solemnly.

那天以后，方茴和赵烨真正的熟了。

After that day, Fang Hui and Zhao Ye truly became acquainted.

赵烨总是跟她开玩笑的，偶尔方茴也会回两句嘴。乔燃学习认真，人又温和，经常和方茴对对作业答案，借借笔记，所以也相处得很好。

Zhao Ye always joked with her, and occasionally Fang Hui would retort. Qiao Ran was diligent in his studies and gentle, often working with Fang Hui on their assignments and borrowing notes, so they also got along well.

唯独陈寻，两人之间始终没有亲近。

However, with Chen Xun, the two never became close.

即使每天中午一起吃饭，大家吵吵闹闹的很开心，但方茴与陈寻仿佛永远绝缘。

Even though they had lunch together every day, laughing and chatting happily, it felt like Fang Hui and Chen Xun were forever estranged.

然而这样的情况，却在突然之间发生了改变。

Yet, just like that, the situation changed suddenly.
