Chapter 7: Genius and Idiot

Pan Suyu and Lin Bei still have a certain prestige in the minds of their classmates. First, the results are really good, and secondly, the popularity is also good, although Suyu is taciturn, but he is still kind to people, although he is not enthusiastic about people, and sometimes he is even almost cold, but it is not because of pride and loftiness as some people say. Needless to say, Lin Bei's personality was originally lively and active, and she was also enthusiastic about people, and she was a typical "man's wife", so she can be called a brother and sister like both male and female classmates. The relationship between Pan Suyu and Lin Bei is like a conjoined sister, and it is something that everyone envies and imitates, but they can't imitate it. People say that "like gathers like things", but Lin Bei and Su Yu are both moving and quiet, one is indifferent, one is obviously enthusiastic, one is deeply buried in the heart, the other is extroverted and has straight words, one is melancholy, and the other is a typical optimist...... Even the appearance is complementary, Suyu is tall and slender; Lin Bei is of medium height, not fat, but plump skin. Su Yu's face is goose egg shaped, but Lin Bei has a round baby face; Su Yu's long hair hangs down her waist, but Lin Bei has short ear-length hair...... There are too many differences, how can such two people walk together? But the relationship between people is so strange, not only are they together, but they are inseparable all day long and do not feel bored at all, and there are so many topics that it seems that they can never be finished. Over time, the students have become accustomed to seeing two at a glance, and sometimes when they see Su Yu alone, people will ask, "Where is Lin Bei?" Conversely, people also ask, "What about Suyu?" 

Perhaps, the relationship between people does not need too many similarities, the more complementary, the stronger the relationship will be, because in this way one party can continue to find new things from the other, and the other party will always be so attractive to oneself. Therefore, getting along with others does not necessarily require sameness, let alone trying to assimilate or imitate each other. People don't like to be around people who have too much in common with them. In addition, there is probably a real need for something like fate between people. If they hadn't participated in an essay contest together in elementary school and happened to be at the front and back tables, they wouldn't have known each other at the award ceremony. And if they hadn't been admitted to Longle Middle School at the same time and placed in the same class and table, their relationship would not have been as close as it is today. But in any case, the relationship between people is maintained by two similar hearts. Although they have too many similarities, they all have a kind and loving heart, they have a common hobby - literature and music, they have a common pursuit and a common dream full of thoughts. That's enough to sustain a relationship between two people. And how can anyone else understand this? It's like their conversation by the lotus pond right now, who would have thought of the contents? 

After Su Yu and Lin Bei got out of class, they always liked to sit by the lotus pond, they liked the elegance there and the faint fragrance of the lotus flowers. Often, they sat side by side, saying nothing, but they didn't feel bad at all. And today, they have no intention of rewarding the lotus. 

"Suyu, this Friday, come to my house after making up class in the afternoon, my mother said stewed chicken soup for us to drink." "Thank you." But I want to go back and see, I haven't been back for a week. ”

Lin Bei was silent for a while, looked directly at Su Yu and said, "Su Yu, you miss your mother and your younger siblings, I know and understand, but there are still more than two months to go before the high school entrance examination, you should focus on the exam wholeheartedly and should not be distracted by some unchangeable troubles." Besides, what if you go back and take a look at them? Can you stop your dad from beating and scolding them, and can you stop your dad from going out to drink and gamble? Can you make them happy? If you go back, you will only be beaten and scolded in vain!" 

Su Yu stroked the large bruise on his arm that was still faintly painful, and looked intently at the proud lotus flower in the pool, and couldn't help but shed tears. "Lin Bei, don't say it again. Anyway, it's always my home, and he's still my dad. I won't change anything when I go back, but I still can't leave that home because of a person's relationship, I miss them."

"Alas......" Lin Bei looked at her, really not knowing what to say. She sympathized with her, but she really didn't know how to help her. Sometimes she really admires her courage and perseverance, and in such an environment, she can maintain such excellent results, such kind qualities and such a strong will to struggle. Lin Bei sometimes thinks that if she had changed herself, she would have succumbed to the environment and become numb and degenerate. Sometimes I can't figure it out, thinking of Mencius's "born in sorrow and dying in peace", I will think, perhaps, Suyu is like this, it is precisely because of hardships and difficulties that he will desperately find another path of life. But after thinking about it, she really didn't have much confidence that she could do it herself. 

"Bell-bell-bell" A crisp bell rang from the classroom, interrupting their thoughts. Su Yu took Lin Bei's hand and said as she ran, "Lin Bei, try not to mention my family's affairs on campus in the future." After a pause, he said, "Thank you, Auntie, on my behalf." As he spoke, he smiled at Lin Bei. 

In the classroom, physics teacher Hu Yongtao was already standing on the podium. Their hearts sank and they hurriedly reported to him. Because they knew that this teacher disliked the students being late, because he was never late for class, he asked the students to be as strict with the time concept as he was. Sometimes when he is in a bad mood, he will refuse to let latecomers enter the classroom, and Deng Xiaojie in the class in the first two weeks was blocked by him. Sometimes when I am in a good mood, I will let my classmates in, but I also have to post a lot of lessons. The strange temper of this short teacher in his fifties is well known, because his surname is Hu, so his classmates call him "Hu Alarm Clock". 

At this moment, they stood at the door worriedly, waiting for the famous "nonsense alarm clock" to fall. I saw him look at them with a straight face, frowned, and said, "Come in!" Remember to be on time next time!" 

"Yes, Teacher!" They said in unison. Then slipped back to their seats as if they had been rescued, and both of them had a feeling of being reborn after the catastrophe. 

"Okay, let's review the last quiz paper in this lesson. Now I would like to ask the team leaders to help distribute the test papers. ”

Su Yu's heart was nervous, she was really worried that she would fail the test again this time, and she had spent a lot of effort for this test. Lin Bei's test paper has been sent down, and a bright red score of 99 has been scored on it. Lin Bei sighed for a while: "Damn! How do you write this number upside down? What a careless ghost!" After speaking, he picked up the red pen and hated the original answer with a few bright red crosses, and wrote the correct answer next to it, still hating and scolding himself. Su Yu is used to this, Lin Bei always starts with the word "9", especially in physics, where is like her, it is already progress to get a "70" point. What about fate this time? Will it be better, or worse? She craned her neck and waited for her test papers, but everyone in the class already had their own test papers, and the group leader who distributed them had returned to their seats. What's going on? There was a strong sense of foreboding in her heart, her forehead and palms were full of sweat, and her heart couldn't stop beating. 

"Haven't you gotten your exam paper yet?" Only then did Lin Bei notice Su Yu's nervousness and uneasiness. 

"Yes." Su Yu was like sitting on pins and needles, hanging back and forth in her heart. 

"Pan Suyu." Hu Yongtao shouted, and when he saw that there was no response, he repeated again, "Pan Suyu!" Hurry, the teacher is calling!" Lin Bei pushed Su Yu, who was stunned beside her. 

Su Yu's heart was suddenly shocked, and she raised her big questioning eyes and looked at the podium. 

"Pan Suyu, please come up and get your test papers." Hu Yongtao nodded to her and said. 

"Oops, looking at his expression, it doesn't seem good!" Su Yu walked up nervously. When Hu Yongtao handed her the test paper, he looked at her deeply and said softly: "I will go to my office after class." ”

Su Yu's heart sank, and she quickly glanced at the test paper, she almost fell to the ground, "59 points!" It's only 59 points!" She closed her eyes, opened them again and took a look, and it was really only 59 points! These two numbers are so striking and huge, how could they be mistaken? Her heart tightened, her blood seemed to stop flowing, her head buzzed, her eyes wet. For several seconds, she stood there without any thoughts, with only the two empty numbers in her headβ€”"59." With great difficulty, she controlled herself and walked back to her seat mechanically. 

Everyone in the classroom was looking at their test papers, and no one noticed her unusual behavior, except for Lin Bei. As soon as Lin Bei saw Su Yu standing still in front of the podium for a long time, she knew what was going on. Although her expression didn't look too unusual when she returned to her seat, she knew how she felt. She didn't say anything, just shook Su Yu's cold hand hard. Su Yu's tears, which she had been holding back, finally rolled down the test paper without a fight. Those tears shed not only for the support, trust, care, and understanding of friends, but also for the disappointment of putting in all their efforts but getting nothing. 

At this time, the "Alarm Clock" was proudly announcing the results of the test: "Of the 64 people in the class, 13 scored 90 points or more, 19 scored 80 points or more, 17 scored 80 points or more, and 5 people failed this time. A minimum of 52 points and a maximum of 100 points. These words, listening to Su Yu's ears, were like needles, piercing her heart with needle by needle. Looking at Lin Bei beside her, and then looking at herself, she had a kind of ironic soreness: "Geniuses and idiots have gotten together." ”

In this lesson, Pan Suyu didn't know what the old man in his fifties was saying at times excited, sometimes frustrated. Even when he talked about the highlights, he jumped up and knocked on the blackboard without noticing, and he didn't notice the strange appearance that she usually wanted to laugh when she saw it: Teacher Hu always habitually crossed the podium with his hands, the big lenses fell on the tip of his nose, his eyes scanned the students through the frames, his round eyes blinked and blinked, and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes also moved and jumped tightly. It just so happened that he had two whiskers of "eight" on his lips. One day, Lin Bei couldn't help but laugh when she looked at it in class. "Suyu, do you think the teacher looks like an owl?" Su Yu looked at the eyes that were rolling on the glasses, and couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, the nickname of "owl" spread out, and it became another representative title in addition to his "nonsense alarm clock". However, no matter what he is called, his classmates are not malicious to him, in addition to being strict with his classmates and too strict and rigid in his concept of time, his class is very lively and interesting, and his attitude towards his classmates is also very kind. Therefore, his classmates still respect him very much and like him. 

After a class passed quickly, Su Yu stood up a little abruptly and said to Lin Bei, "I'll go to Teacher Hu's office." Then he walked out slowly. Lin Bei felt sorry for her in her heart. She understands and sympathizes with Suyu. They are all strong people, and she has also experienced the taste of giving without results, and she knows that all empty comforts are useless to her, because she knows many truths herself, but it is so difficult and so difficult to do. She really didn't know how to help her. 

At this time, Pan Suyu, who was sitting in the office of the "Alarm Clock", had slowly quieted down. No matter how sad and heartbroken you are, you can't undo the defeat that is a foregone conclusion. The only way to regain your mind is to strive for the next future success. 

The "Alarm Clock" in the office saw her come in, smiled and pointed to a chair next to her and said, "Sit down first." After a while, he turned around and said to her gently, "Pan Suyu, you usually spend very little time in physics, right?" 

Su Yu's heart was sour, and she smiled bitterly in her heart: "Physics is the subject I spend the most time studying!" But she didn't say it, and bowed her head to give him a tacit acquiescence. 

"Pan Suyu, you shouldn't be here. You're not interested in physics, are you? I know that your results in Chinese, English and other subjects are very good, especially Chinese and English, I heard that you take the first test every time, right? Pan Suyu, we are now implementing the unified examination, and physics is one of the compulsory subjects, and it accounts for 10 0 points like other subjects except Chinese and mathematics. We can't afford to choose from interest to the point of interest. In this case, it will be a disadvantage when taking the exam. There are still more than two months left, you usually have to read more books, do more exercises, and learn more from classmates with good grades, I believe you will definitely catch up. Isn't your classmate Lin Bei's physics grades very good, if you don't understand the questions, you can ask her, and you can come to me at any time. In short, Pan Suyu, I hope you can pay attention to the study of physics, so that it will be beneficial to your success in the high school entrance examination. ”

Su Yu lowered her head, listening to the gushing kindness of the "Alarm Clock", her heart was always sore, and she didn't know what to say. 

"Bell-" The class bell rang again, and the "Alarm Clock" said to Su Yu: "Okay, you go back first, come to me at any time if you have any questions." ”

Su Yu bowed to him, "Thank you, Teacher Hu!" And then it was out there. She heard him let out a long sigh behind her, and her eyes were a little wet again. She quickly bit her lower lip and walked towards the classroom. She's got to get her physics grades, she's got to get up!" I don't believe I'm really missing physical cells! I don't believe it!" However, this is true, the misunderstanding of "Alarm Clock" about her is reasonable, and how can he know and believe that she spends the least time in Chinese and English, and physics and mathematics are always the subjects that she consumes the most effort and energy. And yet it turned out to be the opposite, what a paradox! 

The day's study was over again, Pan Suyu and Lin Bei walked out of the classroom side by side, and both of them were silent. Walking to the door of the library, Lin Bei suddenly clenched Su Yu's hand and said sincerely: "Don't be sad about physics anymore, my politics are not as bad as they are!" You said that we are the product of genius and idiocy. If only God could be fair, it would be nice to learn from the two of us a little bit. Since God can't do it, then we have to work harder, and we will work together in the future, help each other, and mend our unsound lame feet together, okay?" 

Pan Suyu smiled at Lin Bei, shook her back hard, and nodded wordlessly at her. Lin Bei was immediately relieved. She knew Su Yu's determination and confidence. She immediately smiled: "Good! We're sure of it!" It's a deal!" That's great! Then we'll see you tomorrow!" See you tomorrow!" Su Yu waved her hand to Lin Bei, who was jumping away. She really envies Lin Bei, she seems to be always so happy, troubles have never approached her, and nothing seems to bother her, she is born with an optimistic heart. 

With that in mind, she had already entered the dormitory. In the dormitory, the other eleven roommates are talking about Hong Kong and Taiwan stars with relish. This one said that Tony Leung and Carina Lau were going to break up, that said that Jacky Cheung released a new album, and the other said that Aaron Kwok was preparing to hold a concert again...... There are all kinds of things, and for these, Su Yu is neither very interested nor paying attention to them. Of course, she can't compare with them, they all have the conditions to have time to chase stars and idols, she is different, not only temperament but also environment. Whenever the roommates happily argued about how their idols were, and how they talked about their idols with intoxicating appreciation, she couldn't interject and didn't want to interject.

And now, she walked in without spoiling their warm atmosphere in the slightest. She put down her book, and then went out to take a shower with the bucket, and the people in the room hadn't even noticed her coming. 

After a hasty dinner, she immediately went to the classroom to review. The classroom was quiet, she was the only one, and it was just after six o'clock in the afternoon! She took out the physics paper, which had only 59 marks, and tried to calm herself down, looking directly at the mistakes in the paper. Next to the "59" score, there are several comments from the "Alarm Clock" Long Feifeng Dance: "Redouble your efforts!" Su Yu stared at the big exclamation mark, feeling a kind of aggrieved helpless sadness, "How can I redouble my efforts?" How?" She buried her head in the crook of her arm, and wanted to cry bitterly. But soon, she raised her head, shook her head vigorously, tried to shake off the distractions in her mind, and threw herself into the test paper with all her attention, thinking and understanding question by question. The "Alarm Clock" is responsible and careful, and each question is marked with the correct answer and simple ideas and principles. This touched Su Yu very much. 

I don't know when there were many people sitting in the classroom, and I don't know when Su Yu was left. Su Yu completely understood the entire test paper and reviewed some other things, and then walked out of the quiet classroom. The campus was also quiet, except for a few street lamps, she was the only one walking along the path with her shadow. She didn't know what time it was, but she saw most of the full moon slanting in the western sky, exuding a soft glow, and it was obvious that it was late at night. Because most of them are day students, the management of the daily learning of dormitory students is not systematic, and there is no limit to the students' evening study time, as long as you have the energy, you can go as long as you want, as long as you don't go out of school. This is a disadvantage for many people, but it is a godsend for Suyu now. 

She crept gently into the dormitory, where her roommates had already fallen asleep and were already breathing evenly. She lay gently on the bed, but she still didn't feel tired, and her mind was still surprisingly clear. The blood-red "59" was still dangling in her heart. She is not a person who can't afford setbacks, nor is she a person who cares about gains and losses, but after putting in so much effort, she got such a result, no matter how she can't let go, how can she climb towards that goal more and more, but will go further and further away from that goal? Why, exactly? Why? Tears slipped from his eyes and fell onto the pillow. She rarely cries, especially in front of others, even if she is wronged and hurt, she will endure it. She doesn't want the sympathy and pity of others, sympathy and pity are for the weak, she can't help but be the weak! And she hated tears, and she had hidden too many tears in her home. And tears are in fact the most useless thing in the world, and they do not free people from suffering. However, in this darkness where no one was around, she still burst into tears uncontrollably...... 
