【锦江之星】第三章

夏磊 “转校生的胆量真够大，竟敢与那朵高不可攀的花儿争艳。”

时值九月初，虽已步入金秋时节，烈日依旧炽热如盛夏七八月，毫无收敛之意。圣耀高中的高二（2）班内，琅琅的英语诵读声回荡：

“Hello everyone, I am your English teacher Angel. I hope to get along well with my classmates in the next two years.”

“Hello Teacher An!”

“Alright, now please introduce your desk mates and see what your first impression of them is?”

夏磊 惊愕之余，困惑问道：“安琪老师，您这是认真的吗？高二才分班不久，我们连班上同学都还没认全，为何就要介绍同桌呢？”

“Yes, some students already know each other, while others have only recently met. In order to help everyone get to know each other better, please introduce your desk mate well!” 安琪老师柔声回应，眼神满载期待。

“Excuse me, what's your name, classmate?” 安琪老师纤指指向愣神的夏磊，轻声询问。

“Hello Teacher An, my name is Xia Lei.” 夏磊 迟疑片刻，茫然应答。

“Very good, then let Xia Lei introduce his desk mate first.” 安琪老师微笑着示意。

夏磊 无奈摇头，内心暗叹：

“Oh my goodness...”

“Alright, my desk mate's name is Ning Lu. She's a 17-year-old chatterbox, but don't let her gossiping ways fool you. We've known each other since childhood, and she's always had top-notch grades, often tutoring me when needed. A great desk mate indeed!” 夏磊 在凝露 的灼灼目光下，略显尴尬地介绍。

“Thank you, Xia Lei, for the heads up. Now, let's hear from your desk mate, Ning Lu.” 安琪老师满意地点点头。

“Sure thing, Teacher An! My desk mate here is an old pal from our childhood days. Back then, he was a pudgy little fellow—let's just say he had more flops than triumphs, but he's always been sincere, kind-hearted, and super attentive to me!” 凝露 大大方方地描绘起她的同桌，毫不掩饰对夏磊 的深厚友情。

“Very good, it seems these two share a strong bond and understand each other quite well.” 安琪老师笑容满溢。

“Next up, let's hear from the pair sitting behind Xia Lei.” 她扶了扶眼镜，目光转向后排。

“Certainly, Teacher. I'm Lu Yunjin, delighted to introduce my desk mate.” 路云锦 笑容可掬，自信满满。

“See there, Lei? Mr. Lu sure knows his desk mate like the back of his hand!” 安琪老师稍作停顿，饶有兴致地打趣道，“I hear that Lu has managed to forge a great rapport with his desk mate in no time at all!”

“Indeed! There's no one I, Lu Yunjin, can't win over.” 路云锦 傲然扬眉，一脸得意。

“Hush.” 一声冷淡的喝止突然响起，打断了他的自我夸耀。

“Erm, Teacher. My desk mate is Muyangxing, the top student in our grade. He excels at everything, although a tad aloof, yet undeniably adorable.” 忽略沐阳星 的冷言，路云锦 自顾自地继续道。

“Wait, are you kidding me, Lu Yunjin? Is it even appropriate to call Xing'er cute, being a guy and all?” 夏磊 吓得瞪大眼睛，扭头看向路云锦。

“Absolutely! The stars are already incredibly cute, alright!” 路云锦 一本正经地辩解。

“..................”

“Alright then, would you kindly introduce your desk mate, Mu Yangxing?” 安琪老师适时打断这场讨论。

“Fine, Teacher. My desk mate is a naturally affable individual with a tolerable personality. Annoyingly familiar.” 沐阳星 冷漠地缓缓开口。

“..................”

“Thank you for your introductions. See you all in the next class!”

“Goodbye, teacher.”
