Chapter 72 The Inescapable Regret in Youth(1/2)
Things didn't end like this.
The next Saturday, when we gathered for recess after the second period of class, the first words the principal said while standing on the flag-raising platform were:
"Today's run is canceled!"
The tone was stern, and the sound was particularly deafening after being amplified through the loudspeaker.
The students from each class standing in the front row subconsciously stood up straight.
"Last night, the Political and Education Office organized a routine inspection and found that some of our classmates didn't study properly and came to the playground to fall in love after class!"
"What does it look like?! School is a place for studying, not a place for you to fall in love. If you want to talk, go home and talk! Don't ruin the atmosphere of our No. 8 Middle School!"
"Today, I will use the time between classes to emphasize a few disciplines!"
"First, the school strictly prohibits any form of puppy love!"
"Second, from today onwards, after the evening self-study, you are not allowed to stay in the playground. If you are found, you will be dealt with seriously!"
"third……"
The further he went on, the more stern the principal's tone became.
After a period of reprimanding, the director of the Political and Education Department took the microphone, his face was ashen, and he said in a stern tone.
"Now, let me criticize the following students by name. I don't care what you are doing on the playground. Once you find out, you will be treated as puppy love!"
"First year of high school..."
"Second year of high school..."
"Fang Nian, Li Annan, Li Fenlin, Class 174, Senior High School!"
"Those whose names are mentioned above should be seriously educated by the head teachers of each class. If they are discovered next time, they will be punished with major demerits. Those who do not change despite repeated admonitions will be recorded in the files. Please parents!"
"Please ask the head teachers of each class to strictly investigate the puppy love situation of students in their class!"
Most students remained silent under the harsh instructions of the director of the Political and Education Office.
"Disband!"
The dean said with one sentence, he announced the disbandment.
Li Annan, who was walking with Fang Nian, looked gloomy.
"Why didn't the school even give a chance to explain and just reported the criticism?!"
"she……"
Fang Nian said: "It's the same sentence, it doesn't matter."
"Originally, I was innocent. This time, I would rather kill someone by mistake than let him go."
Fang Nianyou noticed the faces of the head teachers of each class when the criticism was announced. They were all surprised, and they probably didn't know anything about it.
The Political and Religious Affairs Office should kill one person to serve as a warning to others this time.
Li Annan said oh.
He didn't care much about this criticism. What he cared about was that Li Fenlin was implicated...
... Before the bell rang for the third period, Li Donghong went to the classroom and called Fang Nian, Li Annan, and Li Fenlin to the office.
"Why were you three at the playground last night?"
"Who did you all go with?"
Li Fenlin was the first to answer: "The three of us went together."
"get out of class is not over, what are you doing in the playground?!"
Li Donghong looked serious.
As the only key class in the third grade of high school and the only class in the third grade that was criticized by name, Li Donghong was very angry.
"You don't have to go through the playground to go to the toilet!"
Fang Nian thought for a while and said, "We just went to the playground for a walk. Studying in the evening is a bit boring."
"I didn't expect to encounter teachers from the Political and Education Department making inspections."
"And they didn't give us a chance to explain. They just remembered our class and name..."
Li Donghong asked a few questions.
Li Fenlin and Fang Nian were always calm, while Li Annan basically said nothing.
Every time I started, I was interrupted.
After the class bell rang, Li Donghong said: "Li Annan, Li Fenlin, you go back to the classroom first. I hope you will learn from this incident!"
"Never again!"
"Fang Nian, please stay for a while."
After Li Annan and Li Fenlin left, Li Donghong looked at Fang Nian.
"Don't get restless just because your grades are good!"
"I didn't get first place in the exam last time. How many points did I get in science and comprehensive studies? Have you forgotten?"
"I don't care what you did on the playground, this is the second time this semester that you have been called out by the Political and Education Office!"
"You didn't take it seriously if I didn't tell you about the basketball game a few days ago?"
"Don't waste your talents! You should have some ideas in your mind! Don't always take things for granted! There is a bit of shame in being a human being!"
"..."
"Reflect on yourself!"
Fang Nian opened his mouth, then closed it again.
It’s not that Li Donghong was targeting him, this kind of reprimand was actually for his own good.
Justifying is actually the most meaningless thing.
Because sometimes people only believe what they believe.
After Fang Nian returned to the classroom, Li Donghong followed him to the door of the classroom and interrupted the English teacher who was in class.
"Let me say a few words!"
"Today the school emphasized a few disciplines. For senior high school students, let's put aside the matter of falling in love. After the college entrance examination, you can talk about it as you like! In my class, falling in love is not allowed. If you have any signs of it, be careful!"
No one said anything in the classroom.
Li Donghong didn't give up like that. During the next two English classes, he called people out several times, and each time it was a boy and a girl.
Some girls were still crying when they came back.
Boys and girls of this age have relatively strong self-esteem, and sometimes the teachers' reprimands are very sharp.
Some girls can't help crying when they are told, "You need to know self-respect and self-love." This is normal.
Although Fang Nian didn't care much about the affairs of the class, he also knew that these were the lovers in Class 174.
Because in the senior year of high school, everyone is not so shy about it.
It's too much. You have to kiss me ten minutes after class. It's not a special case...
... After lunch in the cafeteria, Fang Nian and Li Annan left the cafeteria together and squatted by the flower bed next to the stairs.
Li Annan took the initiative and said: "I wrote a letter of apology of several hundred words to Li Fenlin."
"She didn't say anything."
"But now I know that if she doesn't like me, there may be nothing between us."
"I never thought my first love would end like this."
Fang Nian: "!!!"
Did he know that first love matures early and disappears in elementary school?
Li Annan fell in love for the first time in his senior year of high school, which was something he had never thought of.
No wonder you are so nervous.
I will be so worried about gains and losses again.
I guess I used all my life's learning to write an apology letter of several hundred words to Li Fenlin carefully.
But in fact, Li Fenlin didn't take it seriously, including Li Annan's confession.
This is what is most difficult for Li Annan to accept.
Although failure to express love is better than having a secret love, it was still difficult for Li Annan to accept that it failed so quickly.
Fang Nian thought for a while and said, "Maybe this is youth, there will always be unavoidable regrets."
Li Annan was silent for a long moment, and finally nodded in agreement: "Maybe."
"well……"
To be continued...
