Zhou Zhaohua left Linyun City on Saturday afternoon and returned to Nanshan Town. Before leaving, he told Lin Su to cherish the opportunity to study, work hard to learn knowledge, and call him if he encountered something at school that could not be solved.

Lin Su is very grateful to Zhou Zhaohua, in the three years of junior high school, he provided her with a lot of help, not only opened a small stove for her academically, but also worked hard for her to go to school after graduation, and now that she is in high school, he still remembers her as a student.

Although Lin Su's growth path was bumpy, she also met some people who really helped her, and pulled her when she couldn't support it. She is grateful to these people and vows to live up to their expectations.

After the military training, the freshmen officially started classes.

The curriculum of high school is very different from that of junior high school, not only the difficulty of knowledge is deepened, but the intensity of learning is also different. As a provincial key university, No. 1 Middle School is even more rigorous with students' studies.

Although the students who can be admitted to the first middle school are the best, as long as there is a comparison, the strong and weak can be divided again.

Many students who are admitted to the first high school are enrolled in key schools in junior high school, and they are accustomed to competition and can adapt to the tight pace of high school relatively quickly, such as students in experimental classes. But many more students don't adapt to high school life right away at first, so they get into a state of panic.

Many students have a "labor pain period" at the beginning of their initial elevation, and Lin Su also has it, but her pain is not the pain of not adapting to the initial elevation, but the pain of urban and rural areas. In the past, many people told her that all the resources in China, including educational resources, would be tilted towards the city, but after experiencing it firsthand, there would still be pain.

Take the subject of English as an example, some students in the city have been learning oral since kindergarten, and no matter how poor the primary school is, there will be English classes, but in the public welfare primary school in Chaling, there is not even a professional English teacher, and the English class is concurrently taught by teachers from other subjects, and the teaching is 26 alphabet songs.

In addition to English, compared with students in the city, Lin Su's foundation in other subjects is also very poor.

In the past, in Nanshan Middle School, because the overall level of the students in the school was not good, the content of the teacher's lectures in class was relatively shallow, and even the workbooks used were different from those in the city.

Zhou Zhaohua knew that Lin Su was studious, so he would find her some more difficult papers, but even so, she was still insufficient compared to the city students who had received a good education since childhood.

This deficiency is not only reflected in the ranking of the high school entrance examination, but also in the degree of absorption of knowledge in each class and the quality of completion of each after-class homework.

Lin Su knew that his foundation was worse than others, so he worked harder. Since the beginning of school, she has been studying every day except for eating, sleeping and running.

In the first month of school, she spent the first month in the chaos.

The day before the National Day holiday, in the class meeting, Wang Yunzhi announced that he would take the first monthly exam after the holiday. The whole class sighed and complained that the fake was not good.

Sun Yuanyuan asked Lin Su: "Are you going home on vacation?" ”

Lin Su shook his head.

Sun Yuanyuan's eyes widened, and he asked again: "You don't usually go back on weekends, and you don't go back for the seven-day National Day holiday?" Don't you miss home? ”

"I don't want to." Lin Su's tone was light.

"You're so independent, not like me, homely." Sun Yuanyuan held his head and pouted, "If I don't go back for a week, I will miss my parents and eat the braised pork made by my mother." ”

Lin Su was silent.

If her family is as warm as Sun Yuanyuan, maybe she will also love home, but the truth is that her so-called "home" is just a cold empty shell, and if she could, she would rather never go back.

Before class ended, the people in the class couldn't hold it anymore and were ready to move, and when the school bell rang, they picked up their schoolbags one by one, and ran away as soon as they smoked. After all, it's the first long vacation after high school, and there are a lot of things you can do without going to school.

Sun Yuanyuan's father came to pick her up, and she left school directly after school. Lin Su tidied up the desk, carried two books and put them in his schoolbag, and then left the classroom.

Before he went out, Lin Su was stopped by shouting.

Zhou Yousen saw Lin Su turn around, and immediately beckoned and asked, "Lin Su, how do you arrange your vacation?" ”

Lin Su nodded at Xu Yuan, who was smiling at him, and replied to Zhou Yousen: "Review." ”

"It's hard to take a long vacation, and I'm always tired of studying." Zhou Yousen said enthusiastically: "We plan to go to Xu Yuan's orchard to pick fruits in two days, and you can come together." ”

Lin Su never understood why Zhou Yousen was so enthusiastic about him, he didn't say hello back and forth, and invited her to participate in their small group activities from time to time, even if she refused again and again, he was indomitable, and his enthusiasm was not reduced at all.

Is he a perpetual motion machine?

"Lin Su, come too, pick more for more people, otherwise those fruits will rot on the trees if you can't eat them." Xu Yuan said with a smile.

Lin Su was about to reply, when he saw Xie Jingyu come out of the classroom.

This month, she tried her best to avoid Xie Jingyu in school, and she didn't even go upstairs to the stairs at the end of the first class, because she didn't want to go through the third class and let him see her. It turns out that as long as you have the heart, even if you are in the next class, you can do it without meeting.

As soon as Lin Su saw Xie Jingyu, he immediately said, "I'm not going...... Have fun. ”

Zhou Yousen still had to persuade her, but before the words came out, Lin Su left quickly, looking at the speed at which she escaped, she almost didn't get out of the afterimage. He sighed, looked at Xie Jingyu, and complained: "Can you not exude an aura of being close to people all day long?" Lin Su is afraid of you. ”

Xie Jingyu frowned, "Afraid? ”

"yes, didn't you notice? Every time Lin Su saw you, he ran away like a ghost, not scared away by you, why? ”

Xie Jingyu sneered, Zhou Yousen thought of Lin Su as too timid, and there was probably no word "afraid" in her dictionary. But he also discovered the phenomenon that Zhou Yousen said, during this time, on any occasion, as long as Lin Su saw him, he would hide quickly.

Of course, he knew the reason why Lin Su did this, and he could only say that she was quite sensible, and she was not as lacking in heart as Xie Chengkang said, and she didn't need him to send her away, so she stayed away by herself.

That's exactly what he wants.

．

During the National Day holiday, many of the boarding students went home.

Lin Su's dormitory was the only one she stayed in school, and she slept alone in the dormitory three nights before the holiday.

Lin Su grew up in the mountains, not afraid of the dark, not afraid of insects, not afraid of strange forces, he is not afraid of sleeping, but at ease.

Zhou Wan came to school on the fourth day of the holiday, and she took the initiative to tell Lin Su that she was bored at home, so she came back early. Lin Su didn't ask much, although she and Zhou Wan were in the same bed, they couldn't say that they were familiar.

Zhou Wan and Li Leyin pair up for daily travel in the dormitory, she and Sun Yuanyuan together, this kind of intimate relationship is not deliberate, it is natural.

Five days before the holiday, Lin Su didn't go anywhere, so he stayed in school to review. The library study room is open from morning to night, and because of the third year of high school, there are two windows for the cafeteria to open, and she is on the line at three o'clock every day, and she has never even gone out of the school gate.

On the sixth day of the holiday, Li Aiping said that she was going to come to Yunshi, so Lin Su gave herself a day off and went out to find her.

In the afternoon, Lin Su and Li Aiping went to the old commercial street of Linyun City to shop, because they were not familiar with the place, they took a fork in the road, and went to the back street instead.

The backstreets are deserted, with many motorcycles and bicycles illegally parked on the side of the streets, and many well-dressed people lounging.

Li Aiping tugged at the corner of Lin Su's clothes, swallowed her saliva, and said, "Xiaosu, it doesn't seem to be safe here, let's leave quickly." ”

Lin Su nodded, and was about to return the same way, but he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure. She was stunned, and subconsciously took a few steps to the side and hid behind a pillar.

"Xiaosu, what are you doing?" Li Aiping felt strange and walked over to ask.

Lin Su hid when he saw Xie Jingyu for a while, he had already formed a conditioned reflex, and he didn't have any thoughts in his mind just now, so his body acted first.

"I ......"

Lin Su couldn't explain to Li Aiping why she was avoiding Xie Jingyu, she knew that Xie Jingyu wouldn't want others to know about his threat, so she didn't tell Li Aiping about the deal between them in the first place.

"My shoelaces are loose, tie them up." Lin Su squatted down as she spoke, untied the shoelaces and tied them again, she moved with her hands, looked up at the street, and saw Xie Jingyu walk into a store before standing up.

"Alright, let's go."

Lin Su pulled Li Aiping and left, and when she passed by the store Xie Jingyu had just entered, she looked up and saw that it was a dilapidated billiards hall, and she could hear the noise inside just by passing by the door.

"There must be a lot of thugs here, let's go." Li Aiping was afraid of getting into trouble, so she grabbed Lin Su's hand and ran.

Lin Su looked back again, and suddenly became suspicious in his heart.

After dinner in the evening, Li Aiping's father came to pick her up. After Li Aiping left, Lin Su was still a little lost, she went back to the dormitory to take a shower, and was about to go out with her schoolbag on her back.

Zhou Wan came back from outside and saw Lin Su walking out, so he asked, "Are you going to the library?" ”

Lin Su nodded.

"The library closes in the afternoon."

Lin Su almost forgot that the notice bar in the library said that the sixth and seventh were closed.

Zhou Wan asked Lin Su: "I heard that the city library has a lot of books, I want to go and see it at night, do you want to go?" You can also study on your own. ”

In fact, Lin Su can study as long as there is a quiet place, the school library is not open, and he can read books in the dormitory, but since Zhou Wan asked, Lin Su thought that she should hope that she would accompany her to the city library, so she should answer.

The library in Linyun City is not far from No. 1 Middle School, after arriving at the place, Zhou Wan went to look for books, Lin found an empty seat, put down the schoolbag, picked up the water cup to fill the water, and then walked around the museum casually to visit.

I have to say that the collection of books in the city library is indeed not of the same magnitude as the school library, and it is even more vast than the small town library in Nanshan Town.

The books in the library are divided into categories, and each type of book is neatly organized on its corresponding shelves. Lin Su browsed the labels on the bookshelves, and as she passed the "Botany" label, her steps froze almost imperceptibly, and then she quickened her pace and left.

There were many people studying in the study room, Lin Su and Zhou Wan sat facing each other, one reading a book and the other making a volume, without disturbing each other.

After half an hour, Lin Su encountered a tricky math problem, she calculated it several times, and the answers she calculated were not the same, and she felt a little anxious.

She looked up and was about to ask next Zhou Wan, but saw that she was not reading, but kept staring behind her.

"Zhou Wan?"

Zhou Wan came back to his senses, "What's wrong?" ”

"Do you know how to solve this problem?" Lin Su pushed the roll over and asked.

"The last question, I haven't made it yet, it's a bit difficult." Zhou Wan sighed and said.

When Lin Su heard this, he was about to take the scroll back, but Zhou Wan raised his hand to suppress it, and said, "But I know who can solve it." ”

Zhou Wan took Lin Su's roll, stood up with the pen again, and left his seat.

Lin Su was puzzled, his eyes moved with Zhou Wan, and finally his pupils shrank.

Zhou Wan handed the scroll to Xie Jingyu, and after a few words with him, he turned around and beckoned to Lin Su.

Xie Jingyu also saw Lin Su, she was sitting at the table in front of her, and he didn't notice it just now.

"Come here, Lin Su." Zhou Wan greeted softly.

Lin Su pursed his lower lip, seeing Zhou Wan's greeting diligence, he couldn't go over. She was afraid that the resistance would be too obvious, and it would make people feel strange.

"Xie Jingyu has solved this problem, and he is willing to teach us." Zhou Wan said after waiting for Lin Su to come over.

Xie Jingyu only glanced at Lin Su, and the expression on his face did not change, it was still neither salty nor light.

"Is there any scratch paper?" He asked.

Zhou Wan looked at Lin Su.

"Yes." Lin Su returned to his seat, tore a piece of paper from his notebook, walked to Xie Jingyu's table, and handed it to him.

After Xie Jingyu took it, he directly wrote the process of solving the problem on scratch paper. said that he was teaching, but in fact, he didn't say a word, and only when Zhou Wan couldn't understand the steps to solve the problem and took the initiative to ask, he would open his mouth to explain a sentence or two.

Lin Su's attention was not on the scratch paper, she looked at Xie Jingyu's side face, and her mind was full of thoughts about seeing him in the back street in the afternoon. She thought she had seen something wrong, but when she saw him again tonight, he was dressed in the same clothes as she had seen in the afternoon.

So Xie Jingyu really went to the billiards hall in the backstreet? How could a good student like him go to such a mixed place?

"Lin Su, Lin Su." Zhou Wan shouted.

Lin Su came back to his senses suddenly, lowered his eyes and met Xie Jingyu's emotionless eyes.

"Xie Jingyu wrote out the whole problem-solving process, do you understand?" Zhou Wan asked.

Lin Su nodded perfunctorily, and the next second he saw Xie Jingyu tugging at the corners of his mouth, as if smiling instead of smiling - he saw through her absent-mindedness and knew that it had something to do with him.
