Su Chengyi didn't know anything about the undercurrent surging last night.

He had a good night's sleep, and when he woke up, it was already afternoon.

The rain hasn't stopped, but fortunately, the momentum has decreased a lot, and when I listen carefully, there is only the sound of dripping.

Su Chengyi yawned and sat up.

He was the only one left in the living room.

On the sofa where Lin Tong slept last night, the quilt was neatly folded, and there was not even a trace of wrinkles.

It was the same in his room, where even the corners were tucked in neatly.

It's a little doubtful that he took in the two siblings last night, maybe he just had another dream?

Su Chengyi leaned against the door of the room and was silent for a long time, then turned around and walked out.

Finally found on the dining table, which is a trace of reality.

In the porcelain bowl is a bowl of hot porridge, which still has a warm heat to the touch.

Next to it is a note, which is Lin Tong's signature regular script handwriting, which is very easy to recognize.

"Mr. Yi:

When the rain was light, we decided to hurry back to our hometown.

My sister and I woke up early and didn't wake you up when we saw that you were sleeping well.

What a bother, thanks for taking care! Rest well! ”

The following paragraph has a sudden change in handwriting, and it is written very hard one stroke at a time, a bit like the handwriting of a primary school student.

"Green cabbage bow rice bow, it's cold, remember to eat it hot again."

The porridge words were written and separated, and Su Chengyi laughed.

It's still lukewarm, though.

Su Chengyi went to the kitchen to wash a spoon, and took advantage of the last temperature to clean up the porridge.

The green vegetable porridge is refreshing and greasy, and it is very comfortable to eat.

After Su Chengyi finished eating, he actually felt a little sleepy again.

I don't know if yesterday's events were too hard and sad, and I always feel very tired and have no energy.

first had a bunch of bizarre dreams, and then was brought out by the torrential rain with inexplicable self-destructive tendencies and negative emotions, and talked to Lin Tong about the Shura Field before going to bed.

Just remembering it, he felt like his head was starting to get dizzy again.

Unfortunately, reality didn't allow him to roll back into bed to catch up on sleep.

There's still a lot to do.

Su Chengyi sighed, got up and went back to the room to change his clothes.

Although it was raining, it was not cold, and the humid and sticky air was even a little stuffy.

Su Chengyi stood in front of the wardrobe and hesitated, and casually put on a gray loose sweatshirt.

Go and return the car keys first.

When I knocked on the door of Aunt Zhu's house, it was Xiaodunzi Chocolate who came to open the door.

This guy looked sleepy-eyed, with ballpoint pen handwriting on his face, thinking that he was dozing off while writing his homework.

"Brother Xiaoyi!"

When he saw the appearance of the person who came, he rubbed his eyes and reacted.

"Where's your parents?"

Su Chengyi patted his round head.

"Dad is taking a nap, and Mom is going to Aunt Wang's house to play mahjong."

I still don't worry about my car at all.

However, when he came back, he specially parked the car downstairs nearby, and the two of them should have seen it a long time ago, so they were so relaxed.

Su Chengyi shook the car key in his hand and put it on the shoe cabinet.

"I'll leave the key here, and I'll talk to your parents in a moment."

"Hmm!"

Chocolate nodded vigorously, but had no intention of closing the door, just stared at him.

It's really pitiful, like a little chubby dog.

So Su Chengyi had to pause when he left.

"Want to hang out?"

"Uh-huh!"

Chocolate's eyes, tormented by his work, rekindled hope.

Are all the current elementary school students involved in this situation?

Su Chengyi couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"Let's go, but it's a rainy day, and we don't have much to do."

He issued a warning in advance.

And chocolate can't manage so much, as long as you can go out, don't stay at home and do your homework, you can go anywhere!!

The naïve schoolboy happily followed him downstairs.

Su Chengyi sent a message to Aunt Zhu while walking.

"Hello Auntie, I put the car keys on the shoe cabinet at the door.

By the way, take the chocolate out for a while, and you will take him home before dinner, so you don't have to worry. ”

Unexpectedly, Aunt Zhu, who was fighting in the mahjong field, replied quickly.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work! Even if my family Bajie is taken away, there is no need to say hello! [Flowers] [Like]"

Sure enough, it's my own mother.

Su Chengyi opened the black umbrella with one hand, and Chocolate consciously took his Ultraman umbrella.

The two walked slowly on the dark red bricks of the sidewalk.

"Brother Xiaoyi, where are we going?"

Chocolate child-mindedness, still couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know, do you have any good places to go?"

Su Cheng thought about it, and really didn't know where to go.

Although he grew up in Qinghe District, he will basically always be school-home, two points and one line.

He didn't know anything about the nearby places to go.

"That's a lot!"

Speaking of playing, the chocolate shook his fist excitedly.

"Go straight ahead for three thousand meters, there are home appliances to play the city! The crane machine inside is particularly conscientious, and the claws are very strong!

Turn left at the intersection and there is People's Park. After school, I usually go there with my classmates to play, because the playground inside is newly renovated, but unfortunately it is raining today

That's right! And wow, there's a dessert shop near the park, and the strawberry ice cream in it is particularly delicious!

Brother Xiaoyi, I invite you to eat! This year, I still have some money left! ”

He said with a fluttering eyebrow, as if he was going to drool in the next second.

Su Chengyi listened to it funny, and decided which pot not to open and which pot to mention, and frustrated the spirit of this happy primary school student.

"Chocolate, how much did you score in the final exam last semester?"

At the mention of this, the joy of chocolate immediately disappeared, and it instantly wilted and drooped.

"Brother Xiaoyi, when you were in elementary school, were your grades so good?"

I didn't expect this kid to ask rhetorically.

Su Cheng thought for a moment and replied:

"Kind of forgot. But I've probably never taken the second place in the school. ”

He has won the first place too many times in his life, so the first place is not unusual, the second is unusual.

If it did, he would have remembered it.

Su Chengyi studied in the first junior high school when he was a child, and when he was in the fifth grade, he had already confirmed the rocket class of the junior high school headquarters.

Therefore, in the remaining two years, he no longer learns the topics of primary school, but specializes in various knowledge competitions while pre-studying junior high school textbooks.

The results of the final exams mean nothing to a person like him.

But for chocolate, the significance is too great!

This is related to whether his butt is intact, the living environment of the whole winter vacation, and the most important thing is where the New Year's money belongs.

So this final exam, he has worked very hard.

95 in Mathematics and Chinese, 93 in one subject, 89 in English and 98 in Science.

In fact, at first glance, it was already very good, and Chocolate and Aunt Zhu were originally frightened, but the moment they saw the score, they were both a little surprised.

Among them, there is also the credit of Su Chengyi who gave him a large number of Huanggang rolls before the start of the university.

However, although he studied in a Chinese school, the degree of involution of the people around him was no less than that of the guys in the public elementary school.

His score is actually the second to last in the class!!

And the penultimate throne still belongs to Su Xiaoxue.

Aunt Zhu's smile disappeared the moment she saw the ranking.

Chocolate knew in an instant that his happy winter vacation was gone.

Ultra eggs, goodbye; Digimon Rex, goodbye; Big Fish, Big Meat, Chips, Chocolate Ice Cream, Goodbye.

And at the beginning of the next semester, he will be greeted by an even more cruel purgatory!

Thinking of this, Chocolate couldn't help but sigh.

"If only I could be as smart as Brother Xiaoyi, forget it, with you half as smart, I can walk sideways in the class."

"Huh? How do you know? ”

Su Chengyi raised his hand and grabbed his back collar, there was a red light in front of him, and this guy walked forward dejectedly, not paying attention.

"Mom said that."

Chocolate actually embellished her statement, and the original words were actually "Even if you have one percent of your brother's brain, you won't be the second-to-last in the exam!" ”。

Su Chengyi looked at the gradually decreasing number of red lights across the road, and said casually:

"I'm not that smart."

"Oh my god, you're not smart?!"

The chocolate shook his head like a rattle.

"When I was a child, I studied so much and didn't have it to pass the time."

Su Chengyi tilted his head and thought seriously.

When he was younger, people weren't as fancy as they are now.

In addition to watching TV, children go out and play childish games with their friends, such as hide and seek, eagles and chickens

Su Chengyi was not interested in this, and he had no friends.

The TV at home is either occupied by Su Zelang's ball game or willow's soap opera.

So his only way of entertainment is to study and read.

When he first read the whole book of "The Count of Monte Cristo", he didn't even know many new words, and naturally there were many passages that he couldn't understand.

But he didn't find it boring, and the sentences that impressed him after reading it for the first time can still be retold now.

"If you want something, you have to set it free.

If it comes back to you, it's yours; If it doesn't come back, you've never owned it. ”

Unlike most children, who subconsciously view learning and entertainment as opposites, he doesn't see any difference between them.

At that time, there was no short video that was best for killing time, and the days always passed slowly.

Children who are accustomed to going to bed early and waking up early have a long day.

Su Chengyi briefly recalled his childhood in the 60-second red light.

How did he spend so many long, slow, solitary days?

The green light came on, and he stopped thinking and took the chocolate across the street instead.

"I know where we're going today."

"Where?"

Chocolate's depressed heart was rejuvenated by the blows of the results.

"Library."

“.”

Chocolate's hanging heart is finally dead.

Dead throughout.

In fact, Su Chengyi ignored that the scope of his activities in Qinghe District was not two points and one line, but three points and one line.

Another point is the library.

Although he has a bookshelf at home, it is obviously not enough with the intensity and speed of his reading.

So Yang Liu led him to the library.

Su Chengyi memorized the route with only one round trip, and from then on he went alone.

He was serious when he read books, and he was often asked to leave by the administrator when the library was closed.

However, when I went to middle school, I rarely came back.

Because No. 1 Middle School also has a library, it is much more convenient than taking a detour to this side.

When Su Chengyi stood at the door, he was in a trance for a while.

It's been so many years in the blink of an eye.

Chocolate scratched his head as he looked at the apparently old library in front of him.

In fact, there is a newly renovated one on the other side of the city, simple and modern European style, very tall.

I don't know why Brother Xiaoyi came here.

Su Chengyi's footsteps paused for a moment, calmed down a little, and then walked in again.

Chocolate followed suit.

For some reason, looking at Su Chengyi's expression, he suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with coming to the library to play.

Hasn't he always wanted to be smart? Now is your chance!

The two walked into the museum, although the decoration was old, but it was still clean and tidy.

But it's empty, and there's no one.

The caretaker, an old man of some age, was napping in a rocking chair, and when he heard the sound of two people entering the door, he just lazily lifted his eyelids.

Over the years, the placement of the bookshelves has changed the order, and Su Chengyi's favorite natural science class when he was a child has been moved to the other side.

He walked by as if he had walked through dusty time, and the pages of the book that filled the past flew like yellow leaves.

Chocolate soon found the one he was most interested in in the vast sea of books.

- "100,000 Whys of Food".

Su Chengyi was helpless and wanted to laugh for a while.

When he came here, he usually read "A Minimalist History of the Universe" and "The Law of the Stars".

This is also one of the reasons why Yang Liu is reluctant to accompany him, she has a headache when she looks at these things more.

Holding the comic book, Chocolate found a corner and sat down.

Su Chengyi followed behind him and casually pulled out a copy of "Kant and Metaphysical Problems".

This library is already cold, and today is a rainy day, and there are only a few people scattered as far as the eye can see.

As soon as Chocolate sat down, he was a little curious about the book in Su Chengyi's hand, so he took a look at it.

"Imagination makes both sensibility and concept take on the surface through schemas, and thus becomes a bridge between sensibility and intellect, and constitutes the essential basis of existential knowledge."

It's obviously all Chinese characters, why can't he understand it at all.

Chocolate immediately felt dizzy, but Su Chengyi's eyebrows narrowed slightly, obviously looking very serious.

Chocolate sighed softly, feeling more and more hopeless about becoming smarter.

"What's wrong?"

Su Chengyi noticed the low level of this elementary school student, and turned his head sideways and asked.

"Brother Xiaoyi, I don't think I'll ever be as powerful as you."

Chocolate lay on the table, feeling devastated.

At a young age, Su Cheng thought that he would take McDonald's for treatment in a while.

"What do you think is awesome?"

He asked.

"Just like you, you know everything, you know everything. The grades are so good, it seems that there are no problems in the world that you can't do. ”

Chocolate replied with a finger crossed.

Su Chengyi shook his head.

"I'm not as good as you think, I'll know when you grow up. And it's not just people with good grades in the world who are powerful. ”

He put down the book in his hand, careful not to wrinkle the pages.

"I think the people who can make the perfect ice cream are also very good, the people who can know where the razor clams are at a glance when they catch the sea, and the people who can make the egg fried rice delicious are also very good."

Speaking of this, he didn't know what came to mind, and he smiled slightly.

"If everybody is going to pursue their studies and careers, who's going to drive the merry-go-round?

Time doesn't just make sense when you spend studying, if you like, being in a daze, watching the sunset, counting the stars, these things all have meaning. ”

Chocolate listened and listened, and suddenly asked thoughtfully:

"Brother Xiaoyi, can I become a vendor selling sugar gourds in the future?"

"If your sugar gourd is big and sweet, then of course you're great."

Su Chengyi laughed again, his eyebrows and eyes were rare and gentle.

"Hmm!"

Chocolate nodded heavily, and for a moment he was so happy that he wanted to dance.

In fact, he is not so stupid, knowing that if he asks his mother this question, he will definitely be beaten up, and he will be criticized for being unproductive.

However, he also knows that his mother is for his good, and there are no parents who don't want their children to be successful.

But Chocolate didn't expect Su Chengyi to answer like this.

The bitter ordeal of a whole winter vacation, after receiving the encouragement of the most admired people, disappeared in an instant.
