Chapter 21: The Art of Smiling
The sky was slightly bright, Chen Bo got up drowsily, found the location of the alarm clock, if he just moved his hands and did not act in his body, when the world returned to peace, he would lie in bed nine times out of ten.
"The side effects of lack of sleep are so obvious, I have to catch up on sleep at noon."
He forgot what time he fell asleep last night, only to know that he had been abused to death, and the pass rate stopped at 80%, and he could no longer move forward half a step.
"You get up, go, go to class."
"Huh? Didn't you skip class? Chen Bo looked at Wang Xu, who was in the negative key, and was quite surprised.
Wang Xu said with dark circles under his eyes: "I'm quite energetic after the all-nighter, not particularly sleepy." ”
Chen Bo said worriedly: "Don't be reluctant, you will suddenly die in class at that time." ”
"No, I feel good about myself." Wang Xu didn't panic at all.
Brother Gongzi's breakfast has always been simple, and the two of them each ordered a porridge with preserved eggs and lean pork, and sat opposite each other.
"Is this enough for you?"
Chen Bo said slowly: "I lose weight and I have to control my diet. ”
"Why don't you always memorize the keyboard to come out, this is the treasure of our town."
Chen Bo said with disdain: "If you don't take the exam, you will do something by memorizing it, will you be on "Expression Management" later." ”
"yes, I heard that new content is taught today."
"New content...."
When Chen Bo heard this kind of word now, he felt uncomfortable.
"It seems to be a practical operation, but I forgot." Wang Xu used a spoon to cool the porridge and sucked it in a big gulp.
"Bad premonition." Chen Bo picked up the cold dishes on the table and sprinkled them in his pocket.
The Expression Management Class is located on the 6th floor of the complex building, where there is only an empty classroom with even a desk and chairs.
"Standing in class?"
Chen Bo looked at the class schedule, dare to feel that this is the rhythm of standing all morning?
Wang Xu leaned over and stroked with his fingers, and murmured: "The floor behind is quite clean, if you are not afraid of catching a cold, you can lie down and sleep, and the dust on the wall is not considered." ”
"Before the teacher arrives, it's too late to sneak back to sleep." Seeing that it was all short people, Chen Bo consciously stood at the back of the crowd.
"No, if I pad the bottom a few more times, I will become a rookie on the sandbag list, and my family will definitely blame me, and I will strive to get a good ranking in this course and improve my comprehensive ranking."
Due to the pressure of his family, Wang Xu couldn't float, so he could only sway in the wind like a kite.
"Everyone memorizes the keyboard to class, which makes me seem to be an outlier."
"It's okay, my keyboard is an extended version, so you can carry it in pairs." Wang Xu untied one of the straps and buckled it on Chen Bo's shoulder.
"What kind of friendship is this?"
Chen Bo was stunned: "The deep friendship of reciting the same keyboard? ”
"Well, it's teachable." Wang Xu was quite satisfied with this answer.
Chen Bo was puzzled: "Is the table in our dormitory that long?" Your keyboard is 1 meter. ”
"You can fold and expand freely, and you can also DJ."
"Are you going to be a midnight DJ?"
Wang Xu smiled: "I don't have a good sense of musicality, and the music I make up is no different from a full-powered shredder." ”
"Try more, maybe you have a great future."
"Then I'll tune in to the dorm tonight."
Chen Bo regretted: "I only have one request, please get it when I am not in the dormitory." ”
The teacher is a middle-aged woman with elegant manners, capable short hair, a decent off-white dress, a pair of hateful feet, and a faceless smile that always hangs on her face, she must have been a lady when she was young.
The class began with rhythmic tapping sounds, and the theme of this time was "The Art of Smiling".
Chen Bosheng praised: "Perfect interpretation of the connotation, this temperament has the charm of Audrey Hepburn." ”
"Hee-hee, yes." Wang Xu bared his teeth.
"Why are your expressions so stiff?"
Wang Xu pressed his fingers against the corners of his mouth and dragged them up to the level of the bridge of his nose.
"I'm imitating her smile, maybe it's something to be practiced later."
"Didn't you notice that your eyes were cross-eyed?"
"Oh? Not really. Wang Xu looked at Chen Bo fiercely, like a man-eating beast in "The Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Teacher Mei Qiubai said: "By learning the course of expression management, I hope that students can control their expressions and send the right signals to the outside world. ”
"Expressions are the supplement and continuation of language, and the tone of a sentence will affect people's emotional judgment of this sentence.
"Whether it is in daily communication or in the process of entering the society to find a job, I believe that many people will have such a puzzle about why others always misunderstand what I mean."
"Admittedly, there are many reasons for this phenomenon, it could be that you are inappropriately speaking, it may be that the other party's language is taught by a physical education teacher, or it may be that in the situation we are going to discuss today, you have a problem with the management of facial expressions."
"A smile is one of the most basic expressions, which embodies the most sincere mutual respect and closeness of human beings; Smiling is also the most basic etiquette, and it accompanies us through every second of every day. ”
Chen Bo turned his head and said, "This teacher is very good in class, but his legs are numb while standing." ”
Wang Xu pretended to exaggerate: "This is only the middle of the first class, will I help you contact the amputation in half an hour?" ”
Chen Bo pouted: "You person, there is something in your words." ”
Mr. He showed several groups of celebrity catwalk pictures and continued: "A toothy smile is a relatively common smile, and a good-looking toothy smile usually has several things in common: the proper ratio of mouth and teeth, and the sharp curvature of the mouth when laughing...."
"Of course, declare in advance that if your teeth are yellow, and there are even rotten vegetable leaves between your teeth, don't grin, this will invisibly lower your overall temperament."
"I'm different, I'm always laughing." Wang Xu was triumphant.
Chen Bo found an opportunity to reply: "Yes, the mouth is open like a blower, can it generate electricity?" ”
Wang Xu said disapprenously: "Don't look at the sky when you laugh, otherwise you never know what will fall in the next second." ”
"Experienced."
"I've just seen other people suffer." Wang Xu shrugged.
Teacher He corrected the wrong view: "Toothy smile is not for us to expose all our teeth, that is not laughter, it is called opening the bloody mouth." ”
"Visually, a qualified toothy smile will have a small triangular shadow on each side of the mouth, and this smile will appear vivid and not cramped." Mr. He demonstrated it on the spot, and the degree of restoration was full marks.
"Me too." Chen Bo has learned from it.
Wang Xu joked: "People are talking about small triangle shadows, and you are about to catch up with the black hole." ”
"It means that my lips are good, thin as cicada wings, and long as willow leaves." Chen Bo argued.
"Maybe it's because the teeth aren't getting together."
