senior [rebirth]

Lin Xi had another good night's sleep.

When he opened his eyes, he found that there were only nine days left in his summer vacation, and he had to return to school in six days.

Lin Xi yawned and checked his summer homework, feeling that there was nothing to look at.After all, under the leadership of Guo Yu, his homework has almost been completed as early as the beginning of the summer vacation. He is a good student, so there will be basically no problems. Just look at it for peace of mind.

however……

I don’t know, I’m scared.

Mathematics and science summer homework were done very well, but English was negligent because he knew he was good at it. There was still a large summer homework book, a set of papers and a set of copying gerunds that were not completed.

Lin Xi looked at a long stretch of blank space, and yawned instantly: "..."

When returning to school, he has to check his homework, and he will be divided into classes directly after the start of school, which means that Lin Xi only has five days left.And in these five days, he still has the science courses of the second year of high school that he wants to review, no matter how time is calculated, he is tense, but yesterday he thought that his homework was almost done, so he spent the whole day relaxing luxuriously.

Lin Xi sighed silently, spread out the book with his frightened little heart in his hands, and began to write furiously.

The first thing to be done is of course the simplest copying. I saw Lin Xi copying absent-mindedly while sniffing, silently looking in the direction of the study, adjusting his future plans in frustration in his mind - there are so many unfinished It seems that on today's last rest day, I have to give up my little thought of staying with my seniors for a while.

It's really sad.

Lin Xi rubbed his eyes.

"what are you writing?"

Half an hour later, Xu Han came to see that there was no sound outside, and when he came out of the study out of curiosity, he saw a child on the coffee table hurriedly copying something, covering his face while copying, and took a closer look: "English?"

"Well, it's summer homework, I forgot it before." This kind of copying is not difficult, but it is really tedious. Lin Xi copied it for a long time and turned it back, and found that he would at least have to get dark if he wanted to finish copying it.

And there are still summer homework and papers in the queue.

Thinking about it makes me want to roll my eyes.

"I remember you didn't do well in the English final exam?" Xu Hanlai also flipped through Lin Xi's book and asked.

"It's okay." Lin Xi said.

He scored 130 and 3 points in the English final exam, not tied for No.[-] in the class. The deductions were mainly for the high school composition that he hadn't written for a long time and some grammatical choices that were also vague because of the long absence.

"Is there no grade for English homework in your class?" Xu Hanlai said while sitting on the sofa: "I remember when I was in the first year of high school, our teachers usually didn't let students with good grades do such boring homework."

This kind of copying is usually used to make students with unsatisfactory grades have to be exposed to English words during the summer vacation to avoid unfamiliarity. Teachers generally do not use this kind of homework to waste the time of students with excellent grades. Same.

Lin Xi paused for a long time, then raised her head and let out an "ah".

When he returned to school, because of the quarrel between Lin Meiling and Li Rende, he just memorized the homework assignments on the blackboard and listened to the teacher absent-mindedly, but at that time Teacher Deng seemed to have mentioned such a thing...

"Yes, Lin Xi, you don't need to copy words and do summer homework for your scores. Teacher Deng said that those are too simple. The top five students only need to complete the papers, and then check and fill in the gaps in class to preview the knowledge of the second year of high school. Just do other homework outside of class.”

Lin Xi couldn't remember clearly, so he went to QQ to ask Li Tengfei, but Li Tengfei didn't reply, so he turned to Yao Zijing after waiting for a while.

However, it took a while for Yao Zijing to return.

Seeing the answer, Lin Xi immediately let go of the pen and raised his head with a relaxed expression, and smirked at his senior, "No need to copy."

Although he has copied for half an hour.

Xu Han saw him laughing foolishly, and he couldn't help being happy. He reached out and rubbed Lin Xi's head: "Let's just practice calligraphy."

As he spoke, he walked towards the kitchen, intending to make a glass of lemonade for Lin Xi.

And Lin Xi, who was freed from so many English homework constraints, felt relieved, and then pinched his fingers to find that the time had changed from nervousness back to enough, so he subconsciously followed Xu Hanlai like a small tail.

While watching the senior clamping lemons in the kitchen, Lin Xi blinked, suddenly remembered something, poked his head curiously, and gossiped: "Then senior, did you copy it at the beginning?"

The senior's English seems to be hovering between sixty and eighty all the time, occasionally going to ninety for a play, this kind of score is from failing to just passing in the main subject.

Xu Hanlai raised his head and glanced at him, and curled his lips: "Will you talk too much when homework is gone?"

"Hey, I'll just ask." Lin Xi smiled slyly with his eyes bent.

"I copied it, and I copied a lot." Xu Han said, seeing Lin Xi's happy face, he pushed the lemon cup forward, and said with a smile: "You can go on your own when you are so free, you have no conscience."

Lin Xi stuck out his tongue, then made two cups courteously, and sent the second cup to the senior in the study, saying that he wanted to make an apology.

However, he didn't leave after apologizing, and just blinked dryly beside Xu Hanlai.

Xu Hanlai pretended not to see it at first, but later he was really amused by the child's military posture, and said, "What else do you want?"

Lin Xi had never bothered him in the study, so he must have had some small idea for not leaving. Xu Hanlai could vaguely guess some of it.

Sure enough, as soon as his words fell to the ground, Lin Xi laughed, then lowered his voice and said, "Senior, are you still copying it? Can I take a look?"

He seemed very guilty, and the more he spoke, the lower his voice seemed to be able to cover up the fact that he was making progress.

But it can also be seen from this that Lin Xi really wants to see it.

After all, in his consistent concept, the senior can be said to be almost a perfect existence.He looks good, has a good voice, has a good personality, has a good family background, has a good degree of education, and has almost no gaffes in his gestures. It can be said that he has nothing wrong with him except for a little luck. He is so perfect that he is hardly ordinary.

This is the reason why Lin Xi will unconsciously lower himself in front of him, even at the mental age of 27.

And just now, Lin Xi seems to have discovered that the senior is not like a "fairy".

This made him feel a little closer in his heart, as if the distance between him and the senior had become smaller.

So he couldn't help but want to take a look and know more about the senior.

What does a 16-year-old senior look like?

Lin Xi had never seen it before, but he wanted to.

After finishing the question, Lin Xi nervously stood by the senior's desk, looking at him with brown eyes full of expectation.

And Xu Hanlai looked back at Lin Xi with a smile on his chin for a long while, until he had put away the child's clever little smile and silently wanted to leave the room, then he bent his eyes and waved to Lin Xi.

"can."

Lin Xi got a treasure by accident.

Xu Hanlai has always had a good attitude towards books, as evidenced by the fact that the study room in the originally empty home is full.And he still kept most of the textbooks and practice books from the first year of high school. They were neatly arranged in a corner of the bookshelf, and he casually dug out a large pile for Lin Xi.

"Senior, I won't bother you anymore. I'll go to the living room to watch." Lin Xi, who never expected to see so many people, jumped for joy, and said happily.

Xu Hanlai saw the child hugging his stack of old books as if he had found a treasure immediately, squinted his eyes, and hummed.

He also walked to the door of the study room together, leaned against the door and looked at Lin Xi's back, until he walked to the coffee table, thought for a while, and called him: "Lin Xi."

"Huh?" Lin Xi put down the book and turned around.

"I told you a story last night, do you still remember?" Xu Han said.

Lin Xi paused.

It's morning, when the sun is just right.The light shone into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows and tulle curtains, reflecting a momentary blankness in front of Lin Xi's eyes.

He blinked, feeling as if something had happened in his brain, but couldn't remember the details.Lin Xi was trying to recall it vigorously, but in the blink of an eye, even the consciousness of "it seems to be happening" disappeared from his mind.

"...I don't remember, do you?" After a while, Lin Xi scratched his head and said.

Xu Han raised his eyebrows.

"What story, is it about you, senior?" Lin Xi asked again.

When he asked, there was a bit of urgency in his eyes, for fear that the senior would finally be willing to tell him something important, but he forgot.

But it stands to reason that his memory shouldn't be that bad. According to the senior, it happened just last night...

Lin Xi was wondering, when Xu Hanlai waved his hand and interrupted his thoughts, saying, "No, it's not an important story, it's just a book. You were about to fall asleep at the time, so it's normal if you don't remember."

Lin Xi let out an ah, still a little apprehensive in her heart.

He wanted to ask which book it was, but the senior didn't give him this chance. He asked him to read it outside before turning around and going back to the study.

Lin Xi who was standing in the living room wrinkled his face, and sat down on the sofa with some worry.

...What kind of story, how come he has no memory at all?

Lin Xi sat on the sofa and thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything, and his consciousness gradually drifted away.

By eleven o'clock, his fading attention was still captured by the books on the table.

As September approached, the scorching heat in the city subsided a bit. When Lin Xi got up in the morning, he didn't turn on the air conditioner in the living room, but opened the balcony door.At noon, the wind was brought in, turning the pages of the book.

Lin Xi thought for a while, then slid down to the floor and opened the book.

Originally, he was just curious to see the senior's copywriting in his first year of high school. This kind of homework is the most annoying. He was curious about what the senior would be like when facing it, but he didn't expect to gain so much by accident.

And the book he was opening right now was the physics textbook of his senior in his first year of high school.

Xu Hanlai's books did not have extra covers from the first year of high school to the second year of high school, but even so, the books were well protected, without any signs of damage or wrinkle.

This book was with the senior for a year, and it was in his schoolbag, so even the book was smelled of peppermint on his body.

Lin Xi stared at the cover for a while, and slowly raised his head from his low thoughts because he couldn't remember what Xu Hanlai said just now.

I saw him flipping through the cover page lightly --- Lin Xi was very familiar with this cover page because of his review of physics in the first year of senior high school during the summer vacation, but when he saw the whole page not far from the attached page "Physics" When there was a neat line of "Xu Hanlai, Class One and Two, Class One and Two", the heart in the chest suddenly accelerated.

Senior's handwriting has always been beautiful. Unlike Lin Xi's round and square fonts, his handwriting has a stroke, but the stroke does not look too aggressive. It is diluted by a little bit of laziness, and the sharpness is hidden in it. , appear softer.

Lin Xi used to hear that "writing is like a person", but looking at it now, it seems to be true.

Just by looking at the two lines on the cover page, he seemed to be able to imagine the way the senior had written his name on it when he received the textbook for the first year of high school.

very nice.

Both people and words.

Lin Xi flipped back silently, and found that unlike Guo Yu, a top student who loves to chew on textbooks, the senior's textbooks were relatively clean, but not as clean as Liu Hao's. Occasionally, there would be one or two lines of formulas in the chapters. , and one or two five-pointed stars that symbolize key points.

This man even draws a five-pointed star beautifully.

The horizontal lines under the knowledge points are also nice.

The more Lin Xi looked at it, the more unbearable his heart was, and he couldn't help but secretly touched the ink marks left behind several times.

The physics book, the physics practice book, the chemistry book, and the chemistry practice book, Xu Hanlai gave each of them to Lin Xi. Lin Xi smiled when he read the book, and when he saw the red cross in the practice book that was corrected by the teacher I couldn't help laughing, as if I really saw the seniors' freshman year through these textbooks.

The places with more red ticks are probably the ones who have learned the knowledge points better, while the places with more red crosses...may be scolded.

Lin Xi read each item, and at the end, he opened the senior's English book, English exercise book, copybook, and a stack of extra English test papers that Xu Hanlai casually stuffed for him.

There is nothing special about the English book. Like other books, there are occasional highlights and new words, but the number is relatively small.In Lin Xi’s most anticipated copybook, the seniors copied every word carefully, without any trace of cheating or perfunctory, and were full of patience from the beginning to the end, while the English test paper——

Lin Xi couldn't help laughing at first, but she couldn't help blinking at the end.

Different from other exercise books, there is a composition in the English test paper.When Lin Xi opened the first composition, he discovered a small mistake made by the senior.

Strictly speaking, this may be an oolong.

What he needed to use in the original sentence was "disgusting". The senior did not make a mistake at the beginning, but after writing a series of words, he somehow crossed out the word with a slash and changed it to "disguste", directly from the correct usage. Reduced to nondescript.

I was circled by the teacher with three question marks.

Lin Xi was amused by this at the beginning. He thought it was just a mistake made by the senior, but after he casually read a few papers, he found that although there were not many such mistakes, they were not rare. , have appeared.

It may not feel big to separate the papers and read them one at a time. You may feel that you just don’t understand your mistakes, but if you read them carefully enough once, you will notice that something is wrong.

Lin Xi looked at it, turned back to the first sheet with some doubts, and found that in the same composition that used "disgusting", another misspelling "t" in "collectted" was spelled correctly I added it myself later.

Moreover, the word appeared once in the same composition, but the spelling was correct that time.

Lin Xi: "...?"

Is the senior such a reckless person?

Why does he feel that this style of adding things in a mess and not checking after writing is more like Liu Hao?

Could it be that the reason why the senior has improved by leaps and bounds in the third year of high school is because he was too careless before?

Lin Xi looked at it over and over for a long time, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. When Xu Han came out and called him to eat, he hesitated to speak and looked at him while holding the paper.

Xu Hanlai came out of the bedroom. He had just changed into his clothes when he went out, and while tidying up the corners of his clothes, he raised his head and met Lin Xi's gaze.

He seemed to see through what Lin Xi was thinking at a glance. Seeing that he had been thinking without any signs of sleepiness, he curled his lips and said casually, "Is my composition good-looking, top student?"

Lin Xi: "...Okay, good-looking is good-looking, but senior, isn't this letter you wrote to Li Hua a bit perfunctory?"

Xu Han came to have fun. After he gave the paper, he thought about what to say when Lin Xi found out, but he was worried that Lin Xi would get sleepy again after speaking once, and forget the information he finally noticed, so he didn't answer him directly. Question, I plan to wait for a while to talk about it, but right now I just waved at the child: "Come here."

Lin Xi put down the paper and went over: "What's wrong?"

Xu Hanlai turned his body facing him backwards, and then led him outside: "Take you to dinner."

Looking at those few papers, Lin Xi found out the "big flaw" in the senior's doing the questions--the frequency of the mistakes is very low, and you can't think of it unless you look carefully, so Lin Xi can't take it for granted that the senior did it deliberately , After thinking about it, it can only be judged as careless.

And carelessness is fatal in exam-oriented education.

So Lin Xi was not distracted at all by such petty interests as a meal at the moment, and while following Xu Han to go out, he emphasized again: "Senior, please don't change the subject, your letter was indeed a bit perfunctory. If you check it a few more times, you can get at least five more points."

During the conversation, the elevator came, and Lin Xi stood in and continued to mutter like a little old man: "And I think there is a little bit of filling in the blanks in front, maybe I haven't checked the selection? If I check everything, I guess it will be conservative. If you get 10 more points, you will pass that paper."

Xu Hanlai was looking down at his mobile phone to reply to the message. He couldn't help but find it funny when he heard the child muttering all the way, so he stopped replying to the message and put down the phone to look at Lin Xinian.

"Oh, I only counted the ones that made a single mistake just now. If there are other questions of the same type, maybe they can get up to a hundred..." Lin Xi was reading, and suddenly found that the senior's eyes fell on himself. , the voice choked immediately.

Xu Hanlai's gaze was so gentle that Lin Xi never had time to resist him.

Standing in the small space of the airtight elevator, Lin Xi turned his eyes a little embarrassed after pausing his voice, only then realized that he had just said so much along the way.

When the elevator door opened, he embarrassedly summed up his nagging all the way just now: "...In short, you should pay more attention when you do the questions in the future."

After finishing speaking, he walked outside without looking back.

As a result, it almost bumped into other residents who came in from the outside.

While Lin Xi escaped in a thrilling manner, he heard the senior's voice behind him, with a smile on his face: "Understood, Teacher Lin, you should also pay attention when you walk."

Before Lin Xi had time to reply, he heard the senior behind him apologize to the tenant who just walked in for him when he didn't take care of it.

Lin Xi withdrew his gaze, stopped talking, and walked outside facing the sun, the tips of his ears became hotter as he walked.
