The Repeater Department is one of the more interesting places.

There are a thousand people there, and a thousand stories are told every day.

Everyone seems to be free, except in the classroom.

After leaving the classroom in the evening, most of the students went to rented houses, usually three or five people rented together.

In renting a house, there is no longer the discipline of high school, and you can almost do whatever you want.

In the depressed and restless hearts of repeaters, there are naturally a thousand reasons to indulge.

The students who have just come out of the fear of the college entrance examination need to be released fiercely.

The billiard room was already full, and the bosses had to set up a number of extra tables outside.

The night food stalls are also very popular, and the young male and female students are shyly drinking beer.

The reason why they are shy is because they are shy after all.

In renting a house, there are not a few people who play cards and shout.

Some people even indulge in gambling and lose everything.

The more elegant one is to play chess.

There are really not many people who read, at least in this September, when the school has just started, everyone feels that it is still far away from next year's college entrance examination.

The teachers in the repetition department don't care about these times when they are not in the classroom. Even if you go to study early or late, or don't go, the teachers just register your name and talk to the students gently, without criticism.

No, just because you're a repeater.

But there is one thing that the teachers are in charge of, and that is that men and women live together.

The teachers of the repetition department received the report, so they joined forces with the physical education teachers of the first middle school to act in the middle of the night to catch the rape and catch the double.

The PE teacher did not attend PE class in the repeating department, but came to guard the order of the repeating department.

I really caught a couple in a rented house and said that my pants were taken off.

But after he was caught, he was not expelled, because the Repeating Department did not expel this discipline, nor did it punish this discipline.

If you catch it on the spot, you don't expel it, and you don't punish it, so why catch it?

Zeng Danqing couldn't figure it out at the time.

Later, I didn't want to understand.

Zeng Danqing was assigned to Class 37. There are four liberal arts classes and eight science classes in the Repeating Division. Classes 27 and 28 are on the sixth floor at the top, and they are lined down in turn, and the first floor is classes 37 and 38.

The environment here is too harsh. Pungent toilets, just behind the classroom. There is no campus, and all the spaces seem to shrink into a drawer, compressed into this only building. Even the air seems to have been squeezed into a thin biscuit.

"Why am I here?"

Zeng Danqing felt that he came here inexplicably, and always felt that he shouldn't belong here. Before he even started the lesson, he was starting to hate everything here.

On the first day, when he went to pay the tuition at the homeroom teacher, Mr. Zhou, he met one of his junior high school classmates, Wu Donghui.

Wu Donghui studied in the third middle school in high school, and only scored more than 300 points in the college entrance examination, and he also came here to repeat his studies, and he happened to be in class 37.

Wu Donghui invited Zeng Danqing to rent a house outside, and Zeng Danqing agreed.

In order to save money, two people rented a room, and there was only one bed in the room, and two people were crammed together.

The room opposite was rented by two girls.

Among them was a girl, slim, good-looking, and quite beautiful.

Most of the teachers in the class are teachers from the original No. 1 Middle School.

Zeng Danqing's physics teacher is his homeroom teacher in the third year of high school, Mr. Wu's teaching level is not bad, but he likes to make fun of students in a certain situation, and he is very unpopular with students.

In less than a week, Mr. Wu said on the podium at least three times that Zeng Danqing didn't know how to take the physics test in the college entrance examination, which embarrassed him, and he should have scored 140 points, but only scored 80 points.

The first time he told the facts, Mr. Wu had the intention of showing off, declaring that those who repeat here have their own high-achieving students, and they can get high scores. The second and third times again, it was a little more ridiculed and teased.

Zeng Danqing was already depressed in his heart, and suddenly he was a little extremely disgusted, not only disgusted with Teacher Wu, but also disgusted with studying, and had no heart to study.

The drawer-type school, the classroom, is densely packed with people, and it oppresses him, and he is very uncomfortable.

Teacher Wu always likes to call Zeng Danqing to answer questions in class, but later, Zeng Danqing answered that he didn't know.

At first, he pretended not to know, and later, he really didn't know, because he didn't listen to the lecture at all, and he didn't read the test questions.

Teacher Wu finally stopped calling him to answer the question.

He didn't want to do anything, eat, sleep, sit in the classroom, eat again, sleep, sit in the classroom, and just mess around.

He felt no direction, no fulfillment.

He is like a hollow man who does not have any joy.

At this time, he also found that there were many people in the repeating class who were like this, and some of them had been mixed for several years.

The reason for living in the repeat class is that I am not in the mood to study, and because I have to study.

People, many of the time, are so contradictory.

Seeing that Zeng Danqing was depressed, Wu Donghui instigated Zeng Danqing to talk to the two girls who rented the house opposite.

Zeng Danqing was in no mood to speak at all, and besides, he was still not good at talking to girls.

In his heart, he still can't forget Xiaoqin.

He searched hard in the repetition department, longing to see Xiaoqin again, eager to reproduce "looking at each other and staring at each other".

Two weeks passed, and the familiar shadow never appeared again.

He knew it would never be again.

She must have gone to college, she got into college, and he didn't.

He was even more depressed, and he had no courage to see her.

He found that Wu Donghui didn't want to study at all. Maybe it's not that he doesn't want to read, it's that he doesn't understand at all.

Wu Donghui played in high school for three years. He told Zeng Danqing that he had played everything.

At that time, it was not fashionable to talk about playing with women.

Zeng Danqing didn't ask him if he had ever played with women, because in Zeng Danqing's heart, the concept of women was both strong and weak, and it was not for talking about. So far, he hasn't talked to anyone about any woman.

He was a little strange why Wu Donghui didn't talk to the two girls opposite, and why he always asked him to talk.

He didn't want to talk about it anyway.

For a while, Wu Donghui often stayed up all night, not knowing where he went or what he was doing. Then he often asked Zeng Danqing to borrow money.

Zeng Danqing didn't have much money, so he borrowed it twice, but he didn't lend it to him.

At the beginning of the second month, Zeng Danqing moved out and rented a house with his high school classmate Cao Zhengwu. Cao Zhengwu was in class 27.

In the new rental, there are two beds. In the months that followed, both of them rented here.

Although the two live together, their hobbies are completely different, and the two occasionally talk but don't talk much.

Later, he rarely saw Wu Donghui in the classroom.

There are three or five other students who live in a spacious suite.

After evening self-study, Zeng Danqing often went to play chess with them.

Chess, he has no opponents. But Go, he is a beginner, and the game does not win them.

Several people often went down until two o'clock in the morning.

couldn't get up the next day, Zeng Danqing was often absent from morning self-study. Teacher Zhou smiled and told him gently, he regarded it as the wind in his ears and didn't care.

He has completely changed, and he never violated discipline and never tired of studying. Now, the books have never been opened.

After a while, he got tired of playing chess.

The strong are still strong, the weak are still weak, it's not interesting.

It seems that there is no way to turn the tables at all. Just like yourself, if you are a loser in the college entrance examination, you are destined to be a loser.

Zeng Danqing feels that the world is a chessboard, and no one can jump out.

Everyone is a chess piece, they all think that they are playing themselves, rampage (chess), vertical and horizontal (Go), in fact, they are all played to that position by others, and there is no freedom at all.

Wu Donghui, who didn't return all night and didn't see anyone in the classroom, was later brought back from the police station by his brother.

A few years later, from Wu Donghui's mouth, he understood why Wu Donghui asked him to talk to the two girls who rented a house opposite, instead of going by himself. That's for later.

Repeaters who play freely, in fact, have not had a little real freedom.

What they play is repression.
