Sui Yue Jian

Chapter 1

In the buzzing sound of crickets in the summer, the sun shone on Xie Meng's face through the window. He couldn't help but cover his forehead. The back of his shirt was wet.

The bus arrived at the bus stop. Xie Meng get off the bus in a crowd. He frowned, wiped sweat from his cheeks and walked to the school gate under the scorching sun.

On the first day of W high freshmen enrollment, there was a red banner at the entrance of the school: "I am proud of W today, W high isn't a top school, the teachers are mediocre, so there aren't many new students. There are only 6 classes in grade 10, and there are about 40 students in a class. Even when the first day of school is such an important time, the school yard doesn't appear to be lively.

There are only 6 classes, so all classes are equal in terms of quality. Xie Meng found his name and student number in class 3's list. When he entered the classroom, he found that there were already many people.

W high isn't a top school, so most of them were students who couldn't get into top schools or students with bad grades in middle school. Several girls even wore light makeup, and looked back to Xie Meng curiously.

There is no air conditioner in the classroom, Xie Meng's face is full of sweat, his shirt is attached to the body, because of the sweat, the white neck has a moist luster.

The sound of whispering in the back row was louder. Xie Meng wiped the sweat and sat on the chair. He lowered his head, under the freshly cut bangs are his bright eyes.

"Hey, classmate." There was a petite girl who walked over to him and said, "What's your name?"
Xie Meng looked up and wiped the sweat on his forehead.

"My name is Wu Xiaomei." The girl reached out and squinted her head: "What about you?"
Xie Meng hesitated a moment. He wiped the sweat on his hands on his trouser and shook hands with Wu Xiao Mei: "Xie Meng."

Wu Xiao Mei said: "I graduated from Q." She pointed to a few people in the back row: "They are all from L, only Mi Mi is from the same school as me." The girl named Mimi is a bit shy and sits on the seat next to the two of them, smiling.

Xie Meng was silent for a while, then slowly said: "I am from S."

"S?" Wu Xiaomei was surprised: "The best middle school in the province? I remember that it has direct high school and is the best in the province?"

Xie Meng said "Yes." quietly, and Wu Xiaomei seemed want to ask him more, but gave up when more students came in .

"Would you like to sit with us?" Wu Xiaomei warmly invited: "The teacher has not come yet."

Right after that, there was a big fat man that looked just like Maitreya[1] came in, he smiled and said: "Who said that I am not here? Sit down, sit down."

Wu Xiaomei frowned and reluctantly returned to her seat. There were a few students that haven't come yet, but Maitreya started arranging the seats anyway.

"Little handsome guy." Maitreya greeted: "You sit in the middle. What's your name?"

"Xie Meng." Xie Meng took the bag and came over.

Maitreya glanced at him: "I remember you, you would get to S high if you scored a point higher."

Xie Meng shook his head: "I didn't take it very well."

Maitreya shot his shoulder: "Everyone has their ups and downs, don't be discouraged."

Xie Meng nodded and said seriously: "Thank you teacher."

Maitreya was very happy. He said "You are welcome, you are welcome!" repeatedly, and then continued arranging students' seats.

"Wu Xiaomei!" Maitreya's voice was terrifying: "Don't think about sitting next to the handsome guy! No early love!"

Wu Xiaomei hissed: "What early love? Can't I just sate my eyes?"

Everyone laughed. Xie Meng also showed a smile. Wu Xiaomei looked at him, her face was red, and she stuck out her tongue.

After the seats were arranged, Xie Meng followed the other boys to get their books and uniforms. The books were too heavy so they had to be divided several times to be able to carry. When Xie Meng carried the books back, the door was blocked by several boys.

Maitreya seemed to be yell, but the tone wasn't serious: "Late right on the first day!" After a while, he said, "Did you dye your hair? Dye it black tomorrow!"

Xie Meng said "Excuse me!" passed through the two boys in the back row, and the guy standing at the front looked back at him.

"I was born with this hair color." The boy quickly recovered his gaze. He casually pulled his bangs and lazily said: "If I dye it black, it would be hair dying."

Maitreya was irritated, and then laughed while patting the head of the boy with a book: "You look more like a punk than a student!"

The boy was not angry when he was bitten, instead he smiled cheerfully and then found a seat to sit down. When Xie Meng went to carry the books again, he also stood up.

"My name is Ji Qinyang." The boy looked at Xie Meng, smiling.

"...Xie Meng." Xie Meng paused for a while before saying his name. Ji Qinyang nodded. He muttered the name Xie Meng over and over.

Xie Meng unconsciously raised his head and look at Ji Qinyang. The boy smiled at him.

Someone came from behind Ji Qinyang and patted his shoulder. He seemed to be very open. After a while, he was able to intergrate with the remaining boys in the class. Xie Meng followed behind them. When passing through the corridor, the wind blowed the blue curtains. Xie Meng stopped, he squinted his eyes and let the refreshing summer wind blew on his face.
