Sludge to the Mountain Ghost

I can't be happy either.

23. Chapter 23

"I will stop here for this class meeting. Less than half of the three years of high school have passed. Whether it is a student who did well in the exam or a student who did not do well in the exam, there are still infinite possibilities in the future. You can give more advice Lin Pai and Zhang Ranran are on par!"

As soon as Li Chanjuan finished speaking, there was a tidy applause in the classroom. She couldn't tell whether it was booing or sincerity, but she was in a particularly good mood these two days, and she even indulged Class Two and Five in high school.

After the results were announced yesterday, Li Chanjuan went to have her hair permed that night and changed into a neat short hair. At the moment, she was tidying up the classroom projection with her fluffy hair. She looked up from the podium and added, "By the way, next time All the students actively participated in Zhou’s sports meeting, the game manual is already with the sports committee, and the rest of the time is for self-study.”

In the past two days, Zhang Ranran was envied by her classmates, praised by her teachers, and praised by her relatives. Although she tried her best to be modest, she could still tell at a glance that this little girl was really happy from the bottom of her heart.

She didn't perform well in the senior high school entrance examination, so her family sent her to Heshan High School nearby, but she was a little off, so she wasn't assigned to the experimental class.

Since the first year of high school, she has been very strict with herself, "hard-working, diligent and conscientious."

These eight words are her true portrayal, and with the current results, they are all brought up by her one by one.

Lin Pai, on the other hand, seemed to be preoccupied. Except when Li Chanjuan called him, he was spinning his pen in a daze throughout the class.

Six mid-term exam papers were neatly spread out on the desktop, and a red gel pen was casually pressed on a corner of the paper. He propped his head on one arm, and twirled another black gel pen in the other hand , What is rare is that the pen did not fall off after the whole class.

The score of this test is nearly 2 points higher than that of No.[-], but Lin Pai does not think that he is very good in the test. On the one hand, some of the course content has been learned in advance in previous schools, and on the other hand, the test paper is not difficult. big.

If this set of test papers were written for those former classmates, they might be able to write several perfect marks.

But the problem is here, he can't grasp the difficulty.The cruelty of exam-oriented education is that no matter how much patience and love teachers like Li Chanjuan consume for students, the poverty of educational resources and the lack of front-line experience are like an insurmountable gap that always lies in the college entrance examination. Between the champion and the candidate who failed the ranking.

If Heshan High School copied the test questions of the key high schools in the city, there might be several more zero eggs here...

"Hey!" Xu Rui kicked his chair, Lin Pai recovered from the shock, and finally dropped the pen in his hand.

"Why?" Lin Pai turned to look at him, with a bit of dissatisfaction in his still-awake eyes.

"Where do you usually stay at night?"

"Internet cafe."

"Is it there every night? Can I ask you to do my homework with you in the future?"

"You?" Lin Pai had completely recovered, but when he heard Xu Rui's speech, he felt that he was still in a dream for a moment. He moved closer to Xu Rui and asked in disbelief, "Doing homework?"

"That's right..." Xu Rui nodded his head as a matter of course, when the sports committee member came over and interrupted him.

"Xu Rui, is it still the same as last year?" The sports committee member held the registration form in his hand, and some registration items had already been registered on it.

Xu Rui nodded, and the sports committee added his name after the three items of "hurdles", "triple jump" and "relay". He then turned to Lin Pai and asked him if he would participate. Lin Pai shook his head decisively , he walked away.

After he left, Xu Rui continued what he had just said and said to Lin Pai, "Didn't Teacher Li say to learn more from Lin Pai? Don't I seem like a person who loves to learn? Look at me, don't I?"

Xu Rui sat upright in his seat, with his hands folded on the table, like a child in a kindergarten waiting for a meal, he blinked at Lin Pai, Lin Pai stared at him hesitantly for several seconds, and finally shook his head cautiously.

Xu Rui was discouraged, and returned to his usual appearance of leaning against the back of the chair. He stretched out his legs and kicked Lin Pai's shoes, and said a little rascally, "You always have to give me a chance to learn, I'll just sit next to you quietly. Wait, you just need to talk to me when I'm confused, Teacher Lin?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ning turned around suddenly, rolled up one of his sleeves, and pointed out the goosebumps on his arm to Xu Rui, "Brother Rui, you are so disgusting... Isn't it because you lose the game and can't occupy the night venue? Are you so self-defeating to do your homework?"

"Go away." Xu Rui slapped Zhou Ning back with a palm.

Lin Pai looked at him with a complicated expression, and finally said slowly, "It's up to you."

At around six o'clock in the evening, Lin Pai saw Xu Rui at the entrance of the Xinsheng Internet Cafe. He was still wearing a school uniform jacket with the zipper open, and the short sleeves inside were replaced with a school uniform white shirt, and the trousers were the same as the summer school uniform. Well, the setting sun dyed half of the sky red and sprinkled a piece of golden yellow. He stood outside the Internet cafe, as if he had just stepped on a whole summer.

Xu Rui strode towards the front desk of the Internet cafe, looked left and right, pulled up a chair and sat next to Lin Pai, and started rummaging through his schoolbag.

His movements brought up a gust of wind, in which there was a faint fragrance of shower gel, and the smell of laundry detergent dried in the sun, which entered Lin Pai's nostrils together.

"There are these homework today, right?" Xu Rui pointed to a pile of books moved to the table, and smiled at Lin Pai as if asking for praise, "Look, I brought the mid-term test paper, am I serious?"

Lin Pai glanced at the books briefly, met Xu Rui's smile and said, "I seem to remember someone who said "I have everything in my schoolbag except books", who said it? "

"What? Who said that?" Xu Rui was deliberately surprised, "We are at the best age of seventeen or eighteen, how can we not study?"

Lin Pai sighed silently, turned around with his hands on his forehead, and ignored him no more.

Xu Rui said not to disturb in the afternoon, so he really didn't bother Lin Pai. He has been quietly writing the questions beside him, but he spends more time flipping through the books according to the questions.

Lin Pai looked at him slightly sideways twice, but he didn't notice because he was flipping through the book too seriously.

More than an hour later, Xu Rui bumped Lin Pai's elbow, pushed the math test paper for the midterm exam in front of him, pointed to a question with a blank answer area, and asked him, "How do you write this plane geometry problem?"

"Here..." Lin Pai stretched out his hand to take the pencil that rolled to the edge of the table, and drew a line on the title, "Draw an auxiliary line."

Xu Rui stared at the auxiliary line in silence for a while, then looked up at Lin Pai in confusion, "And then?"

"Wouldn't it be better then?"

"How can this be all right?"

"Then, just..." Lin Pai choked up for a while, pulled out the test paper a little more, took a pencil and explained it to him step by step, and gave him a little reaction time for the important conversion process before continuing. .

Accompanied by Xu Rui's long-tailed "Oh——", Lin Pai handed the pencil back to him.

"Just as I said just now, you rewrite the steps on the test paper, and I will answer the phone."

Lin Pai ran to the door and answered the phone. There was a landline phone installed in the Internet cafe, but almost no one used it now. This was the first time he heard this phone ring since he came here to work part-time.

Not long after, Lin Pai came back in a hurry. He couldn't reach Xu Rui's shoulder across the front desk, so he patted his head, "I'll take something to Dong Wenwen's house, and I'll be back in about ten minutes. Here you Watch for a while... probably there are no people there, just watch and don't steal things from others."

"Okay, let's go." Xu Rui responded easily.

The moment Xu Rui raised his head, the word "submissive" flashed in Lin Pai's mind, and he immediately shook off this thought. "Xu Rui" and "submissive" are a pair of antonyms no matter how you look at it.

Strange to say, after the weather turned colder, the Internet cafe became quite deserted, but as soon as Lin Pai left, people who came to surf the Internet gathered together.

At first, Xu Rui studied it very seriously, but later he found that he really didn't know how to do it, and he didn't dare to press those buttons casually, so he had to send them to sit on the rest chair next to him and wait for Lin Pai to come back.

Knocked a few times with his knuckles on the desk at the front desk, Xu Rui didn't even bother to lift his head this time, he pointed in the direction of the rest chair, and reported a series of words smoothly, "The network administrator is not here, come back in about 10 minutes, then You can rest."

The other party was silent for a while, and then tapped a few times on the desktop. Xu Rui was writing the last sentence of the conclusion of the geometry problem, and slowly raised his head and said, "Didn't you say that the network administrator is... here?"

The tone of the last word suddenly changed, because Xu Rui saw that the person who came was not a young man, not even a middle-aged man, "Auntie... oh no, grandma, you come... to go online? Well, the network administrator has something to go out , I'll be back in a while, why don't you sit and wait for a while?"

Xu Rui looked at the rest area, all four seats were already full, and those four people were obviously also immersed in the shock of the old man coming to the Internet cafe with a cane, and they got up to give up their seats to her.

"I'm here to find someone." The old lady glanced at the rest area, waved her hand to let them sit down, and walked to the computer area by herself, standing at the entrance and looking around.

Xu Rui also followed her to look inside, thinking that the old lady must have come to catch some unlucky child back, and she still prayed silently for that unlucky child in her heart.

But the old lady looked at it several times, but she didn't move at all. Instead, it attracted the confused eyes of several online youths.

Looking at it from another angle, in this often smoky place, being stared at by an old lady over sixty with a cane may be a kind of not quite
