Chapter 14: Youth is for Struggle!
Early in the morning, before dawn, Zhang Chu sat up from the bed early, looked at the bright sky outside the window, Zhang Chu packed up the biology textbook on the bed and the reference materials on the desk, and walked out of the room.
"Why don't you want someone else to call you today?"
Father Zhang was cooking in the kitchen when he heard the sound of his son washing, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Because I fell behind a lot of schoolwork, I want to go to school early!"
Zhang Chu muttered and replied, there was still unwiped foam on the side of his mouth, and there were more dark circles around the originally sunken eye sockets, and there were faint bloodshots in his eyes.
"Let's eat and go!"
Since Zhang Chu went to high school, Zhang's father has been in charge of Zhang Chu's diet, and the food he cooks may not be delicious, but it is completely according to Zhang Chu's preferences.
Zhang Chu likes to eat meat, so Zhang's father got up at four o'clock in the morning and went to the kitchen to cut beef for Zhang Chu and stew it in a pot. Zhang Chu likes to drink milk, so Zhang's father personally ordered a yogurt for his son to take to school. Zhang Chu didn't like to eat vegetables, so Zhang's father tried to minimize the vegetables in the recipe.......
Zhang Chu looked at the hearty breakfast on the table, suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his throat, silently lowered his head, and enjoyed the breakfast without saying a word.
Dad Zhang sighed in the kitchen and went back to his room to sleep, although he was a math teacher in the third year of high school, he also went to work after eight o'clock.
After breakfast, Zhang Chu put the dishes and chopsticks into the sink before slowly closing the door and walking towards the school alone.
The early morning wind was slightly cold, and the bangs in front of Zhang Chu's forehead were gently blown up, and Zhang Chu, who felt a little cold, couldn't help but tighten his school uniform jacket.
"Zhang Chu? Is it really rare? I can see you here! ”
A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind Zhang Chu, and Zhang Chu couldn't help but turn his head.
"Cousin Qinglan? Long time no see? ”
The girl behind her is Zhang Chu's cousin, this year is exactly one year older than Zhang Chu, should have gone to college, last year's college entrance examination many elders in the family were full of expectations for this cousin, but the result was ......
"How long has it been? Didn't I just see it yesterday morning, by the way, let me introduce you, this is my boyfriend - Shao Yu! ”
As she spoke, Zhang Chu's cousin Sun Qinglan pulled the boy behind her and said with a blushing face.
"Hello!"
The boy greeted Zhang Chu generously. Zhang Chu also nodded to the boy.
"However, you rarely come out of the house so early and say, are you secretly in love without telling your family?"
Sun Qinglan stabbed Zhang Chu's chest with an ambiguous expression, and asked in a teasing tone.
"No, go to the classroom to study, there are two months before the college entrance examination, I won't mess around!"
Zhang Chu replied seriously, but Sun Qinglan pursed her lips disdainfully, pulled her boyfriend and deliberately showed off in front of Zhang Chu:
"What is there to learn? Youth should be a little presumptuous, fall in love when you should be in love, and do whatever you want! ”
After speaking, Sun Qinglan took her little boyfriend and got on the bus, and the bus drove to the other end of the city, which was completely opposite to the school.
Zhang Chu stood in place for a while, shook his head and said in the direction where his cousin disappeared:
"Youth is not for nostalgia, youth is for struggle!"
After speaking, Zhang Chu got back on the road, and bought a basket of xiaolongbao on the way, and it was already 5:40 when he arrived at the classroom.
In the classroom, Shen Mengjun sat alone in his position, with tall reference books and scratch paper piled up in front of him.
"Hey!"
"What do you do! Scared me to death, death Zhang Chu! ”
Zhang Chu's sudden appearance startled Shen Mengjun, and the xiaolongbao that was beginning to take shape rose and fell, and Zhang Chu's eyes were straight when he saw it.
"Look at what! You! ”
Shen Mengjun noticed Zhang Chu's eyes, covered his chest with some shame, and glared at Zhang Chu with a "fierce look".
Zhang Chu touched his head, then put the xiaolongbao he bought on the table, and said to Shen Mengjun with a smile:
"Didn't eat, did you? I'm in for a treat, you're welcome! ”
Shen Mengjun looked at the steaming xiaolongbao on the table, his face flushed, and he didn't know what he thought of, so he glanced at Zhang Chuhou and muttered in a low voice:
"Hooligans!"
As he spoke, he picked up a small steamed bun and ate it in small bites.
Zhang Chu didn't care about the expression on Shen Mengjun's face, but took out his biological notes and devoted himself to the study of "photosynthesis" and "respiration" early in the morning.
Shen Mengjun was eating xiaolongbao while secretly looking at Zhang Chu beside her, and when she saw Zhang Chu's somewhat haggard face, she hummed and said:
"Stayed up late last night? Did you talk to a beautiful woman in the middle of the night? ”
"What do you think? I was busy making thirty-eight sets last night! I'm exhausted! ”
"Learning should also be a combination of work and rest! Staying up so late, you deserve your bloodshot eyes in the morning! ”
After speaking, Shen Mengjun slowly approached Zhang Chu and helped Zhang Chu look at the questions on the test paper.
"This question is an ordinary internal circulation problem! It's not very difficult, I'll teach you in a moment! ”
After Shen Mengjun finished speaking, he took a xiaolongbao and stuffed it into Zhang Chu's mouth.
Zhang Chu didn't refuse, swallowed the xiaolongbao into his mouth in one bite, and licked the corners of his mouth with his tongue, looking unfinished.
Shen Mengjun looked at the two fingers that had just clamped Xiaolongbao, recalling the touch of the hard stubble at the corner of Zhang Chu's mouth just now.
"Then I'm sorry for you! How does xiaolongbao taste? ”
Zhang Chu slowly raised his head, chewing xiaolongbao while staring at Shen Mengjun's cute and delicate appearance in a daze.
"It's okay..... After all, helping my classmates is what I'm supposed to do! ”
Shen Mengjun was a little proud, his eyes didn't know how to glance at Zhang Wenxin's seat in front of him, and he was secretly proud in his heart.
It's just that she probably didn't expect that what happened last night was much more exciting than this morning!
As time passed, more and more students walked in from the outside and joined in the sound of reading.
Zhang Chu carried "ten years of life and death", and somehow thought of the cousin he met this morning, Sun Qinglan didn't want to continue to go to school after Sun Shan's name fell back then, but the family's expectations for her were very high, forcing her to go to the fourth year of high school, and now she has become like this, which can be regarded as her own choice!
