The two-day monthly exam ended very quickly, and Cheng Mo, who felt that his high school career was running out, was full of firepower, and when he put down the pen, he knew that he was undoubtedly the first in the liberal arts class.

In fact, Cheng Mo didn't care too much about the exam, not to mention that it was only a monthly exam, but he had to respond to the rumors in the school, it didn't matter if he was treated as a joke, but Cheng Mo didn't want Xie Minyun to be treated as a joke because of himself.

"Live for yourself, not for others!"

Originally, Cheng Mo thought that he would stick to this belief to the end, but he didn't expect the day when he changed his mind so quickly.

Cheng Mo couldn't help but think of the topic of this monthly exam essay - happiness and our way of thinking.

Cheng Mo knows this question, which is the 2004 National Paper III College Entrance Examination essay question, which tells people the importance of changing their way of thinking through a short story.

The story is very simple: an old lady has two daughters, the eldest daughter is married to the owner of the laundry and dyeing shop, and the younger daughter is married to the owner of the umbrella shop. The old lady worries about her daughter every day: on rainy days, she worries that the clothes in the laundry and dyeing shop will not dry, and on sunny days, she is afraid that the umbrellas in the umbrella shop will not sell.

Later, a wise man enlightened her: "The old lady is so blessed, on rainy days, the younger daughter's business is prosperous, and on sunny days, the eldest daughter's customers are full." You're not going to be happy a day!"

Cheng Mo was deeply touched by this, and wrote more than 1,000 words freely, but what he wrote was not only "changing thinking", but also trying to use "changing thinking" to solve the problem of "how to establish intimate relationships between people".

Cheng Mo felt that Mr. Shen would definitely like this essay, and he thought that Mr. Shen was facing the same confusion as him, when he was interesting enough and rich enough, was it necessary to socialize?

Cheng Mo once felt that it was unnecessary, but now he felt that it was necessary, he looked at Yan Yitong, who was sitting in front of him, with an explosive head like a black marshmallow, and then looked at the blue sky, white clouds, and green foothills outside the window, and remembered the last sentence in his composition: "People will always become gentle for someone." ”

However, Cheng Mo is not gentle with college doctors, he is still using his psychology and taste to put pressure on college doctors these days, but this is not considered abuse, because Cheng Mo knows that college doctors enjoy this process very much in their hearts, otherwise they would not come to Yinyan every day. In addition, this level of training is actually nothing at all, and it can even be said that it is not training at all, it is just a mental game.

Dialectically speaking, this way of treatment is actually a kind of alternative gentleness.

A gentleness that is not accepted by most people.

Of course, Cheng Mo's real purpose is not to play some master-slave game with Gao Yuemei, he knows that someone is watching him, he is waiting, waiting for the other party to speak first, so that he can take the initiative in negotiation.

————————————

Two days have passed since the monthly exams, the breath of summer is a little far away, the boring heat in the school is slowly dissipating in the shade of the trees, the students walking in the sun are no longer frowning, the foreheads and arms are not sweating, and even the girls have changed into long sleeves.

After recess, the bulletin board in front of the teaching building was full of people, today is the time for the monthly exam results to be announced, everyone is nervously looking for their names on the red list, to see their ranking in the grade.

Fu Yuanzhuo and Yan Yitong are also one of them, Fu Yuanzhuo said that he didn't care about the results of this monthly exam, in fact, he was a little apprehensive about the two classes in the morning, after all, he was the third in the whole grade last semester, and if the gap is too big, it will be too embarrassing.

Yan Yitong was also panicked, but she was not worried about herself, but worried about Cheng Mo, even if she believed that Cheng Mo could easily get the first place, she was still afraid of any accidents, or that she couldn't get a full score in all subjects, which was a pity.

All in all, at this moment, Fu Yuanzhuo and Yan Yitong's moods are a little up and down.

The two of them followed the flow of people to the bulletin board, which was made of stainless steel on the edge of the rectangular flower bed next to the national flag, and the results of the monthly exam, the high school entrance examination or the final exam would be posted here. Six long stainless steel bulletin boards line up parallel to the school building, already plastered with red lists glittering with gold dust, and rows of black names float in between.

The wide promenade between the bulletin board and the football field was full of people, some smiling and squeezing out of the crowd, and some leaving with sad faces.

Yan Yitong saw that Fu Yuanzhuo's expression was serious and he didn't say a word, knowing that Fu Yuanzhuo seemed to be as stable as an old dog, but in fact he was panicked, so he smiled and patted Fu Yuanzhuo's shoulder, "Side effects, what are you afraid of, a monthly exam doesn't mean anything, as long as you can insist on studying as hard as this month, you will definitely be able to do it...."

Fu Yuanzhuo shook Yan Yitong's hand away, and said in a disdainful tone: "Who is afraid..... Of course I have confidence in myself, I said, I was just too lazy to study, I want to get serious.... I'm telling you.... Everyone else is scum..."After a pause, Fu Yuanzhuo added: "Of course, except for Cheng Mo..... Cheng Mo is not a human being, so he can't be counted as a ....."

Yan Yitong stepped on Fu Yuanzhuo's foot and snorted coldly: "You're not human....."

"Damn! my BOOST 350 ..... my sister, this is what I finally took over, can I just kick people and not step on shoes next time?" Fu Yuanzhuo looked at his gray BOOST 350 with a shallow footprint printed on it, forcibly lifted his foot in the crowd, patted his hand, and said with a sad face.

Yan Yitong said triumphantly: "Cut, don't think I don't know that you received two pairs.... Remember to change to a more expensive pair for me next time, this pair is not comfortable enough....."

"Do you have the ability to bully Cheng Mo, what kind of ability is it to bully me!" Fu Yuanzhuo didn't have a way to take Yan Yitong's wool, and said weakly.

"I am Cheng Mo's patron saint, how can I bully him!" Yan Yitong replied confidently.

"Forget it! others...."Fu Yuanzhuo was just about to use Xie Minyun to stimulate Yan Yitong, but he was still a little unbearable, so he turned around sharply and said: "Cheng Mo doesn't need your protection! Only a little seedling like me who needs to grow urgently needs ....."

Yan Yitong didn't seem to hear Fu Yuanzhuo's sharp turn, grabbed Fu Yuanzhuo's arm and shouted happily: "Look, look, Cheng Mo is the first place, 750 full scores, the first place ......" After speaking, Yan Yitong shook his head, waved his hands in fists in front of his chest, and stomped his feet on the spot at the same time, and said excitedly: "Cheng Mo is too powerful!"

Fu Yuanzhuo froze his body and looked at the fourth bulletin board, above the red list was written a big "sophomore liberal arts class", the first name below was "Cheng Mo", followed by the score "750", and the second place behind was only 653 points, and the second place was almost thrown by Cheng Mo by 100 points.

Fu Yuanzhuo suddenly felt that the blood in his chest was also boiling, and he was also very angry about Cheng Mo in the school these days, but sometimes he was really powerless to refute, from a secular point of view, even Fu Yuanzhuo felt that Cheng Mo was a little higher than Xie Minyun, but he was never blind!

The monthly exam doesn't decide anything, but it can more or less prove that Xie Minyun does have a vision.

Fu Yuanzhuo hurriedly took out his mobile phone and was about to tell Cheng Mo, so excited that he even forgot to look at his results, but as soon as he took out his mobile phone from his trouser belt, he heard Yan Yitong screaming beside him again.

Yan Yitong grabbed Fu Yuanzhuo's arm and shook it while jumping, "Side effects..... You're 10th, you're 10th in your grade...."

WHEN FU YUANZHUO HEARD HIS "TENTH PLACE", HIS HANDS TREMBLED, AND THE 256G IPHONEX SLIPPED FROM HIS HAND AND SMASHED ON THE CEMENT FLOOR, FU YUANZHUO DIDN'T CARE ABOUT PICKING IT UP AT ALL, AND MUTTERED UNCONFIDENTLY WHILE LOOKING UP AND SEARCHING FOR HIS NAME FROM TOP TO BOTTOM ALONG THE RED LIST: "REALLY FAKE?"

——————————————————

Cheng Mo stood on the edge of the window and looked at the dense crowd in front of the teaching building, he saw Fu Yuanzhuo and Yan Yitong raising their smiling faces in it, the corners of their mouths hooked slightly, turned around and sat back in their seats, just as he was about to read a book, there was a knock at the door, and Teacher Shen's gentle call: "Cheng Mo!"

Cheng Mo raised his head, Shen Youyi smiled lightly, and his face like a spring flower met Cheng Mo's eyes, and he stood up, "Teacher Shen." ”

Shen Youyi beckoned to him and motioned for him to come over, Cheng Mo walked to the front door of the classroom, and then followed Shen Youyi to the side of the corridor, (9) The stairs on this side of the class are the end that is far away from the cafeteria, playground and bathroom, except when school is out, there are very few people who generally walk, not to mention that at this time all the students are still downstairs to watch the list,

Before walking into the stairwell, Shen Youyi said with a smile: "The principal is looking for you..... And, congratulations.... I got a perfect score. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Shen. Cheng Mo replied lightly.

When I walked into the stairwell, the air was quiet, the window at the corner of the staircase was like a distant skylight, the sunlight cast neatly mottled on the long staircase, and the dust was floating slowly.

"Your essay is very well written, and I have all gained a lot..... I almost feel like it was written for me....." Shen Youyi lowered his voice, as if he was afraid to break this unknown peace.

Cheng Mo looked at Shen Youyi who was holding the stairs, her outfit today was slightly different from usual, she usually dressed very seriously at school, but today she wore a more fashionable, loose light blue silk shirt tied in blue jeans, and black lace-up high heels completely supported the temperament and aura of the whole person, not like a teacher at all, like a street shot Madou in a fashion magazine.

Cheng Mo remembered that day in the bar, Mr. Shen's lazy and seductive appearance, turned his head to look at the window that seemed to be far away, and lowered his voice, "It's just that I feel something.....

"I know what? I like that sentence the most: it doesn't matter if you have a dream or not, as long as you feel calm inside, it doesn't matter if you leave the crowd or melt into the crowd, as long as you can feel safe. Don't pursue too much, don't pursue those deliberate encounters, don't pursue those unreachable landscapes, don't pursue perfect life. We live because we are imperfect. In a different direction, don't just look up at the distant starry sky, maybe you will find that you have the place you want to belong. ”

"If not, I will go on the road silently, and people will always be gentle for someone. ”

The stairwell was filled with Mr. Shen's gentle voice like water, and Cheng Mo suddenly felt that his composition was tall.

"It's so well written. Then Shen Youyi turned his head to look at Cheng Mo and blinked, "You've made a lot of friends, right?" especially Xie Minyun, did she bring you a lot of changes..."

After saying that, Shen Youyi chuckled like a shy smile in fear of Cheng Mo, and then walked up the stairs, the heels of his shoes tapped on the terrazzo floor, and the stairwell remembered a light and slow clicking sound.

Cheng Mo stood at the bottom of the stairs and didn't move, he was silent for a moment, "Sister Xi..... Also my friend, she made me feel a lot..... Warmth...."

Shen Youyi turned around, and the sunlight leaked through the cracks in her dark hair, making her flawless face a little blurry, and the red glow on her fair face was covered by the golden light, "Sister Xi.... I think so!"
