The place was silent.When it was off-duty time, there were no other teachers in the office.Zhou Muzhen silently looked at the test papers laid flat in front of him. About ten seconds later, he took off his glasses and threw them on the table, pinching the Qingming point between his eyes with one hand.

Gu Zhan secretly observed Zhou Muzhen's movements, leaning forward involuntarily.Then the opponent turned his head, and he returned his body to its original position with a jerk.Pretending to be careless, he looked at the pots of spider plants with scorched leaves hanging on the window sill of the office.

"What's your purpose of showing me this?" Zhou Muzhen put on his glasses, turned his head and flipped through the paper back and forth, his voice once again faded from the usual gentleness, "Or, what is your purpose of doing this?"

If possible, Gu Zhan would like to compare Zhou Muzhen to a puddle of snow water on a thousand-year-old snow mountain, which is cold and clear. Even though he was lucky enough to have seen such Zhou Muzhen once, this kind of Zhou Muzhen still made him not used to it.

Facing Zhou Muzhen like this, Gu Zhan had no advantage at all.He faltered and didn't know how to answer, and twisted his hands behind his back.

Seemingly impatient, Zhou Muzhen knocked on the table, trying to get Gu Zhan to concentrate.He said, "Speak."

Gu Zhan looked at the test paper, with big red crosses all over his eyes, which he obtained by "working hard" on purpose. 24 multiple-choice questions, none of which were spared.

"Teacher, you see that I have made so many mistakes, should I make up my lessons?" Gu Zhan didn't feel that he couldn't bear it, but he still had a sense of pride. He touched his neck and asked for it as a matter of course. .

Zhou Muzhen's expression was very cold, he folded up the test papers.Seeing Gu Zhan acting so childishly, he was somewhat disappointed.He thinks that at least Gu Zhan's arrogance can make him work harder when he is separated from himself. It seems that he has misjudged the person?

It is impossible to make all mistakes, even if you fill in randomly, it is impossible to not have all the questions correct.This was obviously deliberately created by the other party to avoid the illusion of all correct answers.He should have thought of it a long time ago, but Gu Zhan's brain is sometimes like nothing.

He stuffed the test paper in Hui Zhan's hands, stood up, and took his bag.

"Although I don't know what you're playing in your heart, but your trick won't work with me." Zhou Muzhen looked down at Gu Zhan, "Remedial lessons should be given to those who really need it, not you."

Gu Zhan held the paper in a daze, watching Zhou Muzhen about to leave his sight.He couldn't help shouting: "What about Ye Wenjun? Doesn't she often pester you to ask questions!"

The other party turned his head and replied: "At least Ye Wenjun's study situation is real. Also, remember to close the door."

As soon as the words fell, Zhou Muzhen left without looking back.It was only at this time that Gu Zhan felt a great sense of shame. He stood alone in the office, and the dusk outside the window shone in through the window frame, dragging Gu Zhan's shadow for a long time.

He always felt that Zhou Muzhen seemed to be very strict with him, and what Zhou Muzhen could easily give to others was always very stingy to him.

Depressed emotions surged like a rising tide.Gu Zhan tightly held the test paper in his hand, and subconsciously pinched the test paper out of the depression of his fingers.Before the brain had time to think about what to do next, Gu Zhan picked up his own schoolbag on the ground, put on the shoulder straps one by one, and rushed out. He didn't forget to close the office door when he went out.The huge bang echoed in the empty corridor, and it didn't dissipate for a long time.

At this time, Gu Zhan had completely forgotten what Ms. Gu said. He moved his legs that had not been running for a long time, and rushed to the school gate as fast as he could. He just hoped that he could go a little faster. Meet Zhou Muzhen.

He ignored his restless heartbeat, disordered breathing, the existence of taxis, and the pedestrians coming and going on the street.He only had one address and one person in his heart, that's why he ran so recklessly, trying to catch up with the person who left early.He hardly felt tired, all he had was hearty.

When there was still a road away from Zhou Muzhen's house, Gu Zhan caught a glimpse of Zhou Muzhen buying some things from the convenience store on the street.Almost subconsciously, Gu Zhan hid in a telephone booth along the street.When Zhou Muzhen turned around completely and had no chance to see him again, Gu Zhan came out from the phone booth.

While laughing at himself like a thief looking for his target, he followed Zhou Muzhen leisurely.

But when they reached the door of the house, Gu Zhan hesitated to go in again.He was a little afraid that Zhou Muzhen would scold him like last time and make him feel ashamed.But I also felt that I hadn't made any mistakes—after all, Ms. Gu said that using some tricks is harmless.

Gu Zhan raised his clenched hand, trying to get close to the iron anti-theft door.Three or two seconds passed, and he was still only in the process of approaching, and he didn't drop his fist for a long time.

Withdrawing his fist, Gu Zhan simply leaned against the door and squatted down.He hugged his knees with his hands like a homeless puppy.He had almost expected Zhou Muzhen's expression when he opened the door, there must be a trace of anger in surprise, his eyebrows would be raised slightly, there would be a knot between his brows, and the corners of his mouth must be drooping.

Look, I came here on a whim, but with no plan at all.Ms. Gu didn't teach him how not to act impulsively, he was at a loss and didn't know what to do.But at the moment, he didn't want to go home, he just wanted to stay quietly at the door of Zhou Muzhen's house.

It's just that he didn't expect that after a while, the door behind him moved and pressed against his back.
