Chapter 55: The Cruelty of Reality
In the classroom, the students laughed and played wantonly. Outside the classroom, Bai Zhu stood at the door with a schoolbag he hadn't touched for a long time, and suddenly he hesitated - he suddenly felt a sense of estrangement, and the passage of his own personal time seemed to cast a thin veil between him and the world.
"Hey!" Suddenly, a hand slapped him on the shoulder, "What are you doing standing in the doorway?" β
He turned his head, the girl in front of him had a ponytail tied high, and a sly sly fluttered between her eyebrows, "Baizhu? Why haven't you been here these days? Where did you go to wave? ~β
Baizhu was in a trance: "Huang Lili? This is exactly his big grinning boy-like front table, in the past, she was obviously the most annoying, and there will be a hazy sense of nostalgia when you see her again today. -- The other party has not changed at all, and he still has the same flamboyant expression and flying look. It turned out that she was actually good-looking. Baizhu thought so. For the first time, he seemed to see each other's faces.
"Hey, hey, hey! What's wrong? Silly? Huang Lili stretched out her hand and waved it in front of him, "Don't stand in the way at the door!" It's still early, but who knows when the old class will arrive - I haven't copied my homework yet! Hurry up and let me in! β
Baizhu was pushed into the classroom by Huang Lili, his tablemate used to come early, raised his head from the sea of test questions, and glanced at him: "Early." β
ββ¦β¦ Early. Baizhu said. sat down, put the schoolbag in the drawer, did not rush to open it, but unconsciously looked at the familiar and unfamiliar class for a while, and touched the wooden desktop.
Zou Cheng, who was at the same table, glanced up at him, then lowered his head and continued to work on the question.
Huang Lili sat at the front table and turned around, shouting: "Baizhu Baizhu!" Hurry up, hurry up! Did you do your homework, take it, take it! β
"......" Baizhu's hand stiffened for a second, of course he didn't do it.
Oh yes. There's also homework!
ββ¦β¦ No way! Huang Lili screamed, "What are you doing!" You didn't do your homework last time, and you won't do it this time! Addicted? β
Zou Cheng took the pen in his hand and knocked her on the head: "Are you embarrassed to talk about others?" When did you not copy Baizhu? β
Huang Lili covered her head and said aggrievedly: "It's because I copied him that he can't help but do it...... If he doesn't do it, I'm going to borrow qaq everywhere."
Zou Cheng was speechless, turned to Baizhu and said, "...... Want to copy? β
Bai Shu froze for a second and nodded wildly! Yes, yes, yes!
Zou Cheng took out his homework from his schoolbag and handed it to Baizhu, a little unsure of what to say: "...... You...... Why haven't you been here these days? β
"Hey...... I crossed again. Baizhu said.
Zou Cheng black line, I don't want to pay attention to this neuropathy anymore. So he rolled his eyes at the sky and lowered his head to write the information again.
"Zou Cheng's homework......" Huang Lili's resentful voice came from the front, "He never copied my ......"
"Why should I lightly copy the fruits of my labor for others?" Zou Cheng taunted without raising his head.
"Cut~You're not copying Baizhu yet~"
"Baizhu can get ahead of me, can you?"
And Baizhu worked hard to copy it......
Class A is one of the key classes in the third year of high school in this school, and the head teacher is a middle-aged man with eyes, fluent in dialect Mandarin, and his eyes are the sharpest.
Baizhu had the honor of serving as the class leader of this class, but not long ago, after those weird dreams of Baizhu, Baizhu's grades began to fluctuate, so the sacred position of class leader was decided by the head teacher himself, and it was temporarily held by Qin Ying, who has always been known for his calmness. said that he wanted him to put aside the class work or something first, so that he could concentrate on the college entrance examination in a month.
"What did I tell you!!" The head teacher slapped the desk with the 'stolen goods' in his hand, and Baizhu Baizhu and Zou Cheng both stood in front of the desk with their heads down. Although the teachers around him are busy, they still focus their eyes from time to time. Their homeroom teacher raised Baizhu's homework in front of Baizhu's eyes, and the paper rattled, "Copy homework!" Copy homework! - Atractylodes! I won't talk about you if you take a few days of sick leave! Can't finish a few assignments in so many days? Look at your grades! Last time, I fell to 5th place in the mock exam! Leng was surpassed by Yao Berry in Class C! ββHow many times! The third year of high school can't be slack, can't be slack! There is still a month to go before the college entrance examination! You fall from first to fifth all at once! ββDo you still want to take the test? Yes?! was surpassed by Yao Berry, is it a shame! β
"And you! Zou Cheng! The head teacher shifted his firepower, "The teacher knows that you have good grades and a good attitude towards learning!" But how can you lend your homework to Baizhu to copy? Aren't you doing him harm? Have you looked closely at the countdown in the class? It's a few days away! Yes?! A few more days?! 29 days!! The college entrance examination is coming in 29 days! Can you feel a little nervous! ββAt this time, Baizhu's grades fluctuated a little, and he had to hurry up, how could he copy his homework?! Isn't this self-defeating?! β
"No! ββI'm going to give you both a good psychological counseling!! - This attitude is not good! The teacher slapped the table in anger......
Baizhu lowered his head and humbly accepted the teacher's mental guidance. secretly glanced at Zou Cheng next to him, only to feel sorry, and involved his fellow tablemates. Just glanced over, and was facing the eyes of Zou Cheng.
Brother, hard work.
The two inexplicably understood the meaning in each other's eyes. In fact, on weekdays, Baizhu doesn't communicate much with everyone, even if he is the class leader, he is mostly a hands-off shopkeeper, and he goes home every day after school, so he doesn't make any friends. The more familiar ones are the few students who are within the geographical range next to the desk. Ah, it also includes a Qin Ying who met him because of the change of squad leader.
And Zou Cheng is a scholar on weekdays, he doesn't listen to things outside the window, and he only writes the questions on the paper. His daily routine is to attend classes, do questions, take exams, and look at the rankings. Few people find pleasure in these things, but Zou Cheng is clearly in the minority. He loves the sense of accomplishment of solving a puzzle and watching his name appear at the top of his report card. For Baizhu, this table mate is also because he is on par with his own ranking all year round, so he pays more attention. There are also more entertainment activities on weekdays, which is to discuss topics or compete with Baizhu. But to say how deep the friendship is, that's not yet.
However, in this case, the two have a feeling of sympathy.
The teacher behind the desk scolded and spat at the flying: "Look! What to see! I know you have homework copyists in your class! But you two can't copy it! - You're the top of the school! At this time, you can't give up at all! ......" the teacher said indignantly for a while, and finally rested, "...... Atractylodes? Zou Cheng? Do you know it's wrong? β
"Got it." Zou Cheng said.
Baizhu also said, "Got it." β
"Forget it." Old Ban waved his hand, "Let's go back to class." I can't copy my homework. - Copy, copy! Let's do the simulation right away and see how many points you can score! β
************************************************************
Bai Zhu and Zou Cheng finally walked out of the door of the classroom office. At the door, the two glanced at each other and went straight back to the classroom.
"What's wrong with you these days? Sick leave? Don't do your homework? Zou Cheng asked.
"It's nothing ......" Baizhu was a little helpless, "Maybe I had a serious illness?" β
"Probably......" Zou Cheng was quite speechless, "just forget it." ββDid you make the last bet? Last exam you were on sick leave, moved to this time? β
βοΌβ Baizhu was a little stunned, "What bet?" β
Zou Cheng rolled his eyes at Chaotian: "Bet on the ranking!" The loser becomes the other party's one-day follower - you forgot about it? β
Baizhu finally remembered the small bet in his world that was 7 years ago. He also remembered that they seemed to gamble like this a lotβone of the few entertainments they had in their senior year's life.
Thinking about it this way, why didn't I become friends with a person like Zou Cheng?
Maybe we've been friends for a long time. It's just that I haven't noticed it.
Thinking like this, Baizhu suddenly felt that his previous vision was really too narrow. I only saw one Bai Qi in my eyes, not only being a cow and a horse for him, but also living a very dull life.
There are so many lovely classmates around, but they don't even have a close friend.
Baizhu smiled: "Count!" Absolutely! β
"Just forget it." Zou Cheng said, "Then I have to review it quickly, and I will play English." β
(β_β)Ay?
Take the test when you get out?!
By the third year of high school, exams were already commonplace. Often, two classes are combined and the exam begins.
This time too. The English teacher looked at her watch: "Okay, it's time." Don't write, don't write. - Stop! Okay, now put the test paper face up, put it on the seat, and I'll collect it. β
The English teacher came down one by one to collect the test papers, and when he walked in front of Baizhu, Baizhu still maintained the posture of holding the pen, and his mind was blank.
The teacher picked up the test paper of Baizhu, was stunned for a few seconds, looked at the stiff Baizhu again, and finally didn't say anything and took away the test paper. At that moment, how to describe Baizhu's heart? Baizhu shed lasagna tears, it's over, it's over. My name!!
"How? The right answer? Zou Cheng naturally came over, and Baizhu pushed him away sadly. God knows how it would be to see birds again after 7 years in ancient times...... Grammar, vocabulary, and so detailed! - He's really a dog!
"What's wrong?" Zou Cheng was puzzled.
"t-t~ no ......," Baizhu said, burying his head in the palm of his hand.
ββ¦β¦ Brace yourself. After the math, I'll read the book for a while. You continue. Zou Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently and comforted...... Mathematics???
Oh! My God! Baizhu looked up to the sky and roared silently.
How can you do this to me?!
If you let me cross over, why do you still let me wear it back!!
