Chapter 5

Lin Zhao was very serious in the last class, although he couldn't understand a lot of what the English teacher said, but when the teacher asked him to memorize words and read the text, he still worked hard to participate.

Lin Zhao's abnormality attracted the attention of the English teacher, and she even deliberately stood beside Lin Zhao for a while. Then she found that Lin Zhao was indeed reading the text, and the pronunciation was very accurate.

It's gratifying to see students willing to learn, especially those who don't usually like to learn. The English teacher listened for a while, then finally nodded and walked away.

Seeing that the time was almost up, the English teacher called a halt. She glanced around the classroom and said, "I'll take one of my classmates to read this article." ”

As soon as these words came out, many people lowered their heads, and only a few top students still looked at the teacher bravely.

The English teacher stopped his gaze on Lin Zhao: "Lin Zhao, you come to read." ”

Hearing this, the classmates who had just lowered their heads raised their heads in surprise.

Who in the class didn't know that Lin Zhao was a poor student, not only at the bottom of the class, but even in the grade.

At first, the teachers of various subjects would take care of him, but it was useless. Later, except for the head teacher He Xian, many teachers directly ignored him. As long as he doesn't disrupt classroom discipline, it doesn't matter if he's sleeping or absent.

――Of course, when I met a teacher who was in a bad mood, I would say otherwise.

Now that the English teacher has asked Lin Zhao to get up and read the article, it must be that Lin Zhao has provoked the English teacher, and the English teacher is embarrassing him.

Thinking of this, many people showed a gloating expression, waiting to see a good show.

Compared with the excitement of others, Lin Zhao was completely out of the situation. He pointed at himself in disbelief, and after being confirmed by his English teacher, he reluctantly stood up.

Liu Weiwei patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Zhao'er, you have to fight for us." ”

Lin Zhao glanced at her and read the article in the textbook. At first he was a little nervous, and it was a bumpy read. Later, when I got into the state, it was much smoother to read.

After reading an article, Lin Zhao found that everyone in the class was looking at him. He was startled, looked at the English teacher with some uneasiness, wanted to sit but didn't dare to sit.

“d。” The English teacher said with a smile, but didn't ask him to sit down, "You translate this article again." ”

Lin Zhao didn't know most of these words, where would they translate. He lowered his head and whispered, "I don't know how to translate." ”

Surprisingly, the English teacher did not embarrass him and waved his hand to sit down. She turned around and walked to the podium and said to the class, "Lin Zhao read very well just now, I think we should applaud and encourage him." ”

Led by her, the class burst into thunderous applause. Liu Weiwei clapped her palms red, and shouted to Lin Zhao excitedly: "Ah Zhao, you are awesome!" ”

Lin Zhao was a little stunned, he came back to his senses in everyone's applause, and suddenly his face turned red. He was not ashamed when he was scolded by the teacher, but he was so ashamed that he couldn't raise his head when he was praised by the teacher.

However, shame is shame, but Lin Zhao is very happy in his heart. It's always good to be affirmed by a teacher, even if he's a bad student.

After school, Lin Zhao was called to the office by the English teacher, he was very worried, and he didn't know what the English teacher called him.

The English teacher and the homeroom teacher He Xian were in an office, and when they saw Lin Zhao coming in, He Xian asked, "Lin Zhao, are you angry with Teacher Wen again?" ”

Before Lin Zhao could speak, the English teacher opened his mouth first: "No, Lin Zhao is very good today." ”

He Xian smiled when he heard this: "You kid, Teacher Wen will help you say good things." Okay, you guys have something to talk about, I'll go eat first. ”

The English teacher sat down in her seat, she looked at Lin Zhao who was standing in front of her with a restrained face, and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, find a chair to sit down." ”

Where did Lin Zhao dare to sit: "No, no, no, I'll just stand." ”

The English teacher did not force him, saying, "That's right, on November 6th, our grade will hold an English speech competition, do you want to participate?" ”

Lin Zhao was taken aback, and refused without thinking: "I, I can't do it, my English is so bad." ”

"Who said you have bad English, your English pronunciation is very standard, and your sense of language is also very good. When it comes to speaking, I dare say that there are few people in the class who can match you. The English teacher paused and continued, "If you're saying that your grades are terrible, the speech contest doesn't look at your grades. And I still remember your entrance grades, English is a perfect score, right? Those who can get a full score in English in the high school entrance examination can get bad grades. ”

Lin Zhao was not happy because of the English teacher's praise, but was very annoyed: "Teacher Wen, I really can't do it." I don't even know a few words, so I can't write an article at all. ”

"The article is not a problem, there is still half a month, I can tutor you......"

"Teacher Wen," Lin Zhao interrupted the English teacher, "I appreciate your affirmation of me, but I really don't want to participate in any speech contests. ”

The English teacher saw that Lin Zhao was very resistant to this matter, and no longer persuaded him: "You think about it again and give me the answer next Monday." If you still don't want to go then, then I won't force it. ”

"Teacher Wen, I can give you the answer now, I don't ......"

"Lin Zhao, are you really willing to continue to fall like this all the time?" The English teacher looked at Lin Zhao, "I'll tell you the truth, this year's winter vacation, our school will hold an English winter camp in conjunction with other well-known middle schools in the province." This winter camp will invite many well-known lecturers from home and abroad, so it is a very rare opportunity for you. There are a total of 10 places in our school, the third year of high school does not participate, and the first and second years of high school have five places each. If nothing else, these places go to the top five places in the speech contest. ”

Lin Zhao lowered his head and whispered, "Since this opportunity is so rare, wouldn't it be too wasteful for me to go?" ”

"There is no limit to the number of people who can sign up for this speech contest, and anyone who wants to go can go, which is considered a fair competition for everyone, so you don't have to worry about stealing other people's opportunities."

Hearing her say this, Lin Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, and he also had some understanding. He said how the English teacher remembered him, it turned out that there was no quota limit.

Thinking of this, Lin Zhao felt that he had a bit of a villain's heart, it was normal for teachers to like honor students, no matter what, it was already good for the English teacher to think of him.

In fact, Lin Zhao was not interested in the so-called winter camp, but when the English teacher's words came to this, he had to say half-truthfully: "Then I'll go back and think about it, thank you, Mr. Wen." ”

Seeing that he finally relented, the English teacher smiled: "Well, you think about it." It's getting late, so let's go eat. ”

Lin Zhao walked out of the office, looked at the time, and found that it was already five fifty. They were going to start reading late at half-past six, and it was definitely too late to go out to dinner now.

Lin Zhao was struggling with whether to go to the commissary to buy something to eat or stay up until the next night to study on his own, when he suddenly found Qin Muyang standing outside the classroom looking at him.

Lin Zhao was a little unnatural by him, and walked over and asked, "Qin Muyang, what are you standing here for?" ”

Qin Mu threatened to be concise: "Wait for you." ”

Lin Zhao was surprised: "Wait for me?" ”

"Well," Qin Muyang raised his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's too late to go out and eat at this point, how about buying instant noodles?" ”

Lin Zhao didn't expect that Qin Muyang was still waiting for him to eat, and he was happy and worried in his heart: "Why don't you go to eat first, it doesn't matter if I eat or not." ”

Qin Muyang didn't answer him, and made a decision directly: "Let's go." ”

There are instant noodles in the school commissary, Qin Muyang asked for two boxes of pickled pepper-flavored ones, and Lin Zhao swiped the card.

"Do you want anything else?" Lin Zhao asked.

"No need."

Although he said this, Lin Zhao still asked for two ham sausages.

The commissary and the cafeteria are connected, and two people soak the noodles in the boiling water of the canteen and sit on the tables and chairs in the cafeteria to eat.

Lin Zhao actually doesn't like to eat instant noodles very much, but maybe because he is with Qin Muyang, he thinks today's instant noodles are particularly delicious.

It's only 6:10 after eating instant noodles, and there are still 20 minutes to go to class. Lin Zhao asked Qin Muyang if he wanted to go around below or go back to the classroom, and Qin Muyang said that he wanted to go back to the classroom.

Lin Zhao privately wanted to go around with Qin Muyang more, but Qin Muyang said that he wanted to go back to the classroom, so he had to go back with him.

Walking on the road, Qin Muyang suddenly asked, "What did Teacher Wen look for you this afternoon?" ”

After he mentioned it, Lin Zhao remembered the annoyance again: "She wants me to participate in the English speech contest." As he spoke, he told Qin Muyang everything about the afternoon.

"That's a good thing, why didn't you promise her?"

"What's good," Lin Zhao couldn't help but complain, "My grades are so poor, do I want to be embarrassed?" ”

"How can there be a shame?" Qin Muyang looked at Lin Zhao, his eyes were even gentle, "Isn't your recitation today very good?" ”

Lin Zhao didn't dare to look directly into Qin Muyang's eyes, so he had to look around: "That's just a superficial phenomenon, in fact, there are many words that I don't know." ”

"You can pronounce words you don't know accurately, isn't that amazing?"

Lin Zhao didn't expect Qin Muyang to say this, and suddenly felt very embarrassed: "I touched it blindly." Moreover, there is no limit to the number of people who can register for this competition, where can we compete for the ordinary class, the special class, and the international class. I'd better not join in the fun. ”

"Who says that the regular class is not as good as those classes? I have a friend who is in the international class and he speaks much worse English than you. I think you should try it, not to mention whether you win or not, it's good to go and exercise. ”

Lin Zhao may not be able to listen to these words at all if they are said by others, but it is different when they are said by Qin Muyang. He was a little moved, but he felt uncertain: "I haven't participated in these competitions for a long time, and I'm afraid I'll be nervous then." ”

"It's just a game, there's nothing to be nervous about."

Lin Zhao made a bitter face: "That's what I said, but I'm still nervous." I want to go to the toilet now. ”

Qin Muyang was amused by him: "It's okay, even if you are brushed off because of nervous performance at that time, it's not a big deal, I finally saw it, and you can better deal with it next time there is such a game." ”

When he said this, Lin Zhao was even more moved: "I, I'll think about it again." ”

Qin Muyang didn't force him either: "Well, anyway, time is not in a hurry." ”

Probably because the atmosphere between the two was very good, Lin Zhao suddenly said: "You are very different from what I imagined. ”

Qin Muyang asked, "Huh? What's the difference? ”

"I always thought you were ...... How to say it, it's very cold, you ignore everyone, and you rarely see you messing with anyone, so everyone doesn't dare to approach you. But after getting in touch with you, I realized that you are actually very nice, very attentive, and easy to get along with. ”

Qin Muyang smiled: "Since I was so cold before, why do you dare to keep bringing me breakfast?" ”

Unexpectedly, he would ask such a question, Lin Zhao almost choked on his own saliva. His face was flushed, and he looked around weakly: "It's not because you are handsome, I heard that being friends with handsome guys can also improve your appearance." ”

Qin Muyang laughed out loud on the side. Lin Zhao secretly felt annoyed, what nonsense was he talking about!

When the two returned to the classroom, it was only six and fifteen, and Lin Zhao originally wanted to go to Qin Muyang's seat to play for a while, but who expected that he was stopped by Liu Weiwei as soon as he entered the classroom.

Lin Zhao reluctantly said to Qin Muyang: "Then I'll go back." ”

Qin Muyang nodded: "Well, let's go home together at night." ”

Hearing his words, Lin Zhao's mood became clear again. He returned to his seat and asked Liu Weiwei in a beautiful mood: "Why did you come so early today?" ”

Liu Weiwei said angrily: "It's not to bring you food." ”

Lin Zhao found that there was a box of cold noodles on his table, he opened the cold noodles and gave Liu Weiwei a flying kiss: "Weiwei, you are the best, I love you." ”

Liu Weiwei didn't let him go because of his sweet mouth, pulled his collar and asked with a dark face, "Why are you with Qin Muyang again?" Did you eat together? ”

"Uh-huh," Lin Zhao said vaguely as he gulped down cold noodles, "He had been waiting for me before, and we went to eat together." ”

Liu Weiwei hesitated: "Why is he waiting for you?" ”

"Because we're friends."

Seeing that he looked heartless, Liu Weiwei was very angry. She threw away Lin Zhao's collar heavily, gritted her teeth and said, "Lin Zhao, I think you are really hopeless." ”
