Wisdom lies in learning, genius lies in reflection.

Mediocrity lies in laziness, waste lies in ignorance.

- Chu Xuan

***

School is out on Friday afternoons and closed on weekends.

The bell rang at the end of the last class.

Even the students in the experimental class hurriedly put all the homework they picked out to take back for review into their school bags, said goodbye to their classmates and left the classroom in a hurry.

The back is cheerful, like a young eagle that has just learned to fly, and can't wait to leave the narrow bird's nest to travel the beautiful scenery between heaven and earth.

“… That, today we are on duty together. Ye Zi crossed her hands and struggled for a while, she finally mustered up the courage and looked at the side that seemed to be unhurried but wrote quickly, and a math classroom test paper seemed to be solved quickly without thinking.

Ye Zi admired it in her heart, even if she put the answer steps in front of her, she didn't write as fast as the same table when she copied it.

Sure enough, in the world of learning gods, she and other mortals don't understand.

didn't get a response, Ye Zi didn't have any other feelings, she had long been accustomed to it, she looked well-behaved and good-natured and repeated again: "Classmate Chu Xuan, today is our duty together." ”

Their class sits together in pairs according to the student number, and the two students on duty every day take turns on duty, and today it is their turn.

Last time, when it was my turn to be on duty, my table mate took leave to participate in the Olympiad and didn't come back.

When Ye Zi thought that he would get no response again and wanted to get up and clean up by himself, he only heard Chu Xuan's characteristic hoarse voice say, "Hmm." ”

She stopped writing, and it only took half an hour to write the two classroom tests assigned by the math teacher this morning.

And during this period, I also took the time to read a brand-new People's Daily, striving to keep pace with the times, instead of being a nerd who ignores what is going on outside the window and only reads the books of sages.

Ye Zi: "......"

She swallowed her saliva, and suddenly found that her tablemate, who was gloomy and looked arrogant and difficult to mess with, was exuding the brilliance of learning at this time, and wanted to blind her titanium alloy dog eyes!

Because Ye Zi's gaze was too intense, Chu Xuan stood up and raised her by half a head, her slender and uplifted phoenix eyes were sharp, and when she lowered her eyes, her eyes seemed to carry cold darkness, and she said in a deep voice: "What are you looking at." ”

"Scholar God, can you teach me mathematics?" Ye Zi trembled when he was swept away by his gaze, and after his brain was broken, he subconsciously shouted this sentence.

After speaking, she realized that it was not easy to get close to the same table, and slowly raised her head to look up at the pair of slender and gloomy eyes on the other side, Ye Zi was so frightened that she couldn't take a breath, and her face was red.

She lowered her head and played with her fingers, silently stood up and walked out of the position to let Chu Xuan come out, and the posture of the little cowardly bag was full.

Ye Zi pursed her lips, frowned, her hands were nervously interlocked, and she was very annoyed in her heart.

Now it's okay, the same table of students will definitely not speak.

Chu Xuan put all the books and test papers on the desktop into the drawer, and the schoolbag distributed by the school only had a thin coat and nothing else.

She is not afraid that someone will come to steal the test papers, this is the only one in the school, and she will be directly exposed if she steals.

Chu Xuan walked out of the position without squinting, went directly to the corridor outside the door of the classroom, took the broom and garbage shovel placed in the corner, followed by Ye Zi who was like a little daughter-in-law who made a mistake, she almost hit her chest when she turned around, Ye Zi hurriedly waved her hand and took two steps back.

Chu Xuan lowered his eyes, and his low and hoarse voice carried a natural domineering spirit, "Get out of the way." ”

"Yes, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that. I just think that you are so good at the same table, and my math will always only hover at the passing line. Ye Zi hurriedly shrank aside and took the broom, and glanced at Chu Xuan, who was still expressionless, with small eyes, she had the courage to exert her chatterboxy physique.

can enter the science experimental class, and her comprehensive score is naturally not low. But there's one laggard, and that's math.

After being at the same table with Chu Xuan, she was secretly happy, with a god of learning by her side, she could definitely ask for advice, and dreamed that mathematics could improve by leaps and bounds.

However, after two months of being at the same table, her beautiful dreams were directly shattered.

Chu Xuan, who is privately called "Arrogant Monster" in the class, almost doesn't speak, she is gloomy all day long, she pinched the point in class, and left on time after class, even if they are at the same table, they may not speak more than five sentences.

Chu Xuan glanced at her and saw Ye Zi's frightened but sparkling eyes, just like the little white rabbit she saw when she was about to braised rabbit yesterday and was still gnawing on radishes, she also looked at her with a pair of wet eyes, innocent and harmless.

However, two seconds of hand up and down, easy to solve.

Chu Xuan left and crossed the threshold, turned his back to Ye Zi, and responded rarely, and his hoarse voice was inexplicably magnetic Su Er, "What do you want to say." ”

It's not that she doesn't say a word, it's just that she has been busy with her studies and family for the past two months, and she has no time to pay attention to irrelevant people and things.

Getting a response again, Ye Zi excitedly compared, she trotted to follow, like a cheerful bird, and chirped: "At the same table, in the future, in my spare time, I encounter a math problem that I don't understand, can I ask you." There are also physics, chemistry, biology. I sometimes can't keep up with the teacher's speed, and it's a bit difficult to understand after class. ”

Climbing up the pole is her attribute.

And all the subjects at the same table are full marks, and as a fellow table of scholars, there will be comparisons if her grades are too poor!

Chu Xuan turned her back to her and said, "My time is very tight. ”

There is no objection to this sentence, which means that it is still possible.

Ye Zi was even happier when she heard this, she had the courage to rub next to the same table, looked up and saw that there was a shallow scar at the left corner of the same table's left eye, under the sparse short hair was a heroic side face, 172 tall with a white shirt and black trousers, and the woman's figure was very slender and well-proportioned, she was afraid of the momentum and did not dare to look directly at it on weekdays, but now that she looked carefully, Ye Zi found that the same table was more handsome and stylish than most of the boys!

Looking at it, she accidentally lost her eyes.

When Chu Xuan had already started to sweep the aisle outside the classroom, Ye Zi came back to his senses, patted his cheeks that were crimson with thoughts, and hurriedly trotted up to stand next to Chu Xuan, scratching on the ground with a broom, but his eyes looked at Chu Xuan, who was cleaning seriously as if he was doing something big, and promised with a smile: "At the same table, I promise that it will not take you too long." ”

It is the next few big questions that will make her hair bald.

Regardless of family background, every student will face one problem: heavy courses and assignments!

And it's a very real problem: being rich doesn't necessarily mean having a naturally smart mind.

The IQ of most people is generally at the same level, but the difference in family background creates the level of education that the family can provide for their children, which is the fundamental reason for the gap gradually widening when they grow up.

After all, the economic base, which determines the superstructure, also influences ideology.

Of course, these statements are useless for people who don't want to study and like to use money to buy academic qualifications.

Chu Xuan didn't raise his head, but let out a fluttering "um".

Although it was very light, Ye Zi, who was standing beside her, could hear it clearly, she suddenly laughed like a flower, and chirped ripely: "At the same table, why do you cut your hair short, do you insist on reading the newspaper every day, this is like my dad, he likes to read the newspaper every day......"

The conversation box opened, even if Chu Xuan only responded indifferently a few times throughout the whole process, Ye Zi was able to speak energetically alone, and she did not stop until she finished cleaning the classroom.

After packing a large bag of garbage, Ye Zi wanted to say that they took turns to pour it, but she saw that she had already carried a satchel at the same table, and left first with two large bags of garbage on her hands, so she didn't need to worry about it at all.

"Tablemate, wait for me!" Ye Zi hurriedly took the schoolbag, turned off the main switch in the classroom and locked the door, and kept up with Chu Xuan's pace.

After throwing away the garbage, Ye Zi waited for Chu Xuan to go to the faucet next to the garbage truck to wash her hands, and saw that she also turned around and left directly without saying much, and Ye Zi chased after her like a little follower.

She pursed the corners of her mouth, looked up at the side face of her table facing the sunset, and softened the edges and corners, making it less gloomy and more warm.

Ye Zi tried: "At the same table, it's still early, let's go drink milk tea." I know there is an old shop that tastes good. ”

Although it is now the end of October, the sun is still shining every day, and it will not get dark until half past seven in the evening.

The sky was still bright at half past five.

The two walked out of the school gate, and Ye Zi went from expectation to loss, like an abandoned little cub, pitifully turning back three times in one step.

Chu Xuan, who was leaving with her back to her in the opposite direction, suddenly stopped, she turned her head slightly, and there was still darkness in her long narrow eyes, but the sunset in the red sky behind her was particularly beautiful, and it seemed that there was a shallow smile in her eyes.

She said succinctly, "Let's go." ”

"Oh yes!" Ye Zi was so happy that he jumped in place.

She hurriedly ran to the driver who came to pick her up and said that she wanted to play outside for a while, and by the way, she called her parents and told her friends to play, and then ran up after Chu Xuan's elongated shadow.

In fact, she is also very easy to get along with at the same table, as long as she is thick-skinned enough.

…

In the private car, Xi Xinglang stared at the school gate.

Seeing Chu Xuan walking out, he smiled excitedly, crimson fluttered on his white and flawless face, his eyes followed Chu Xuan closely, and his crystal clear eyes were full of joy.

But when he saw someone talking to Chu Xuan, and even when the two left side by side, his smile changed, even if the other party was a girl, it made Xi Xinglang hold back his originally happy emotions, biting his lower lip, his clear and bright eyes were full of loss.

I'm so bad.

Xi Xinglang spurned himself so much in his heart, but the grievances that secretly sprouted also made his eyes rise with mist, and he looked more and more pitiful.

Chu Xuan can make friends, he is no longer alone, he should be happy for her.

can be discovered by others Chu Xuan's good, and he will not be the only one who will pay attention silently in the future, Xi Xinglang feels very uncomfortable.

Noticing the change in the young master's mood, the housekeeper saw the two people walking away from him from the rearview mirror, and he was puzzled and clear, and probably knew what the reason was.

He smiled and said, "Young Master, let's go back." ”

The young master is old, and he has some thoughts.

This is a good thing, but it is also a bad thing, and it depends on how to deal with it.

Xi Xinglang lay on the window of the car, watching the two gradually walk away, even if he was reluctant, he still sat upright with the drawing board in his arms tightly, lowered his head and said, "Hmm." ”

When he got home, he said hello to his parents who were chatting in the living room, and Xi Xinglang went up to the third floor with a drawing board, and the entire floor was all decorated into his studio.

Xi Xinglang sat on the fan-shaped balcony with his easel, holding a paintbrush in one hand, but the other hand was holding his chin and looking out of the window, his eyes were in a daze, until a small stool clicked beside him, and then he came back to his senses.

Father's gentle words rang in his ears: "What are Xinglang thinking, even the lines are crooked, this is not like your habit." ”

My son has always been very strict with his paintings, and whenever he holds a paintbrush, he never gets distracted.

Thinking of the situation that the housekeeper had just told him, Xi Cheng probably also thought of the reason, and then a relieved smile like an old father appeared on his face, and his good son began to conceive spring.

"Dad, why are you here?" Xi Xinglang was taken aback, turned his head to his father's inexplicable banter eyes, the shameful picture that he had just imagined in his mind resurfaced, Xi Xinglang's cheeks turned even redder, he quickly withdrew his gaze, even his earlobes were red and gorgeous, and his heart was very empty.

He wasn't thinking about anything bad just now, really... Nope.

Xi Cheng's face smiled even more when he saw this, he pointed to a drawing board placed not far away, on the drawing paper was the entrance of their campus, and a blurred back of a person appeared in the picture, and he said bluntly: "Xinglang has had a little trouble recently, is it because of her?" ”

When Xi Xinglang heard this, as if he had been spied on the secret of his heart, he straightened his waist nervously, and subconsciously retorted: "No! ”

However, he pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were empty, and the hand on his knee was clenched into a fist, which seemed to be lacking in confidence.

Xi Cheng smiled heartily, and said with a lot of facelessness: "Haha, even if Xinglang doesn't say it, Dad knows whether Xinglang likes this girl or not." ”

It was quiet for a few seconds.

“…… Hi, like. Xi Xinglang blushed, and finally lowered his head like a child who made a mistake, and admitted it quietly and firmly.

"I love it, I love it."

Whenever the figure comes to mind, this liking is even stronger, even compared to the daughter red that grandpa has buried for decades in Kaifeng, wafting with the intoxicating aroma of wine.

When Xi Xinglang thought that his father would say that he couldn't affect his studies with early love, he only heard his father encourage: "Since you really like it, then pursue it!" ”

"Huh?" Xi Xinglang raised his head in shock, his eyes lit up several times after he was stunned for two seconds, and he said happily: "Dad, don't you object." ”

But he didn't know what to think of in the next second, his eyes turned from bright to dark, his long eyelashes trembled and cast a silhouette, and he said with a little loss: "I like her, but she doesn't know me." ”

Hiding in the corner, he didn't dare to show it, for fear of being cruelly rejected.

"Feelings depend on fate, some people's fate comes late, and some people come early. Since Xinglang's fate is here, why should Dad object. Xi Cheng raised his hand and touched his head, smiling lovingly.

"A crush is a mix of ups and downs, and if she doesn't know you and doesn't have a boyfriend, then you try to get close. No matter what the outcome is, you have worked hard for this relationship and will not regret it in the future. ”

Xinglang's child is too well protected by their husband and wife, just like a young master living in a castle, simple and harmless, but his mind is also more sensitive.

He once felt that with the status of the Xi family, there was nothing wrong with Xinglang doing this all his life, and no one dared to bully him after all.

But now that I think about it, I should let him get out of the ivory tower and do what he wants to do, experience more, and have a more tenacious character.

Later, however, Xi Cheng's mind changed.

Perhaps the most compatible couple in the world is complementary.

Xinglang's simple and tenacious temperament, it is not bad to meet a strong and spoiled daughter-in-law to take care of this, so there is nothing wrong with this life.

The world is very chaotic, and it is precisely because of being pampered that there is pure qualification.

Of course, that's for later.

Xi Xinglang blinked, his hand unconsciously clenched the paintbrush, and his heart was about to move, but he was still a little worried: "...... If she rejects me, then I won't even have a chance to have a crush. ”

It is precisely because of this that he hesitated and only dared to hide in the corner as a voyeur.

Xi Cheng asked sharply: "In this case, think about it, what it would be like to see the girl you like being taken away by other boys." ”

"It's going to hurt, it's going to hurt here." Xi Xinglang didn't hesitate, he covered his chest and frowned.

I don't know if I really fantasize that the person I like is taken away by other boys, or that people who engage in art are more sensual, his eyes are ruddy, and his beautiful star eyes are filled with mist, which is more pure.

Xi Chenglang bit his lower lip lightly and said uneasily: "Dad, I like her, and I even had the idea that I don't want to see other boys walk by her side, and it belongs to me alone, am I not very bad." ”

He thought it was a terrible idea, but he never tried to curb it, because that's what he thought and would do in the future.

"It's not bad, it's a normal psychology that likes someone with all your heart." Xi Cheng patted him on the shoulder, smiled gently and encouraged: "So Xinglang don't be afraid, show your manhood, boldly express your heart, Mom and Dad support you." ”

This kid seems to have a crush.

Xi Cheng looked a little bitter and a little relieved.

The son grew up under their wing, and he had a girl he liked.

Xi Xinglang's eyelids drooped and he was silent for a few seconds, then he raised his head, nodded and said firmly: "Dad, I know what to do!" ”

He wants to try to get close to the girl he likes in his heart.

"Haha, that dad is waiting to drink your wine." Xi Cheng smiled happily and left satisfied.

Jiang Ya, who was eavesdropping at the door, left with Xi Cheng, and ran back to make a cheering gesture with a fist, blinking and saying mischievously: "Come on, son, Mom and Dad support you!" ”

Saying that, the husband and wife left with peace of mind, leaving Xi Xinglang, who had not been able to regain his calm for a long time with a red face.

When the sunset shone on the balcony, he had unconsciously drawn several pictures, the same campus door, the same back, and behind the blurred back there was another person, which looked harmonious and beautiful.
