In the classroom, the lights are soft and bright, illuminating the neat rows of desks and the students who are immersed in thinking.
Jiang Ning is instructing Chen Siyu to do math problems.
Chen Siyu's academic performance can only be considered above average in Class 8, ranking around twenty. Even this grade is still watered down.
Because during the exam, she and her sister used the Great Transposition Technique.
In order to win back Bai Yuxia, Chen Siyu worked very hard in recent months and often consulted Jiang Ning during evening self-study.
Jiang Ning wrote a question for her casually:
"Suppose vector a=(m,1),b=(1,2), and |a+b|=|a|+|b|, then m=?"
Three minutes later.
Jiang Ning asked: "This question is very simple, don't you have any ideas?"
Chen Siyu: "I know the answer! It's equal to -2."
At first glance, it sounds like her level of genius is comparable to Xue Yuantong, and she can actually know the answer.
Jiang Ning: "I just told you the answer. You must know it. What I want to ask is why the answer is -2."
Chen Siyu: "Because you told me."
Jiang Ning: "Don't you need a process? Can you score points if you don't write the process?"
Chen Siyu: "No need. This is a fill-in-the-blank question. The marking teacher only looks at the answers, not the process."
Jiang Ning was silent for a few seconds: "It's too hard to talk to you, why are you so stupid?"
Lies won't hurt, the truth is the sharpest knife.
This knife struck Chen Siyu hard in the heart.
If it were another girl, like Xue Chuchu, her face might have been pale, her eyes dull, her heart sad, and she might even have a feeling of desolation that the world has failed me.
But Chen Siyu was different. She said happily: "Jiang Ning, you know me. If I become smarter, nothing will happen to you!"
She smiled brightly, with a look that said, "Thanks to my stupidity, I can show your usefulness."
Jiang Ning even felt like, "Just have fun secretly."
Jiang Ning thought for a while and decided not to argue with her. He picked up his pen, wrote down the process of solving the problem, and taught her step by step.
Jiang Ning didn't move on to the next question until she fully understood it and was able to draw inferences.
After experiencing Chen Siyu's tempering, Jiang Ning felt that even if his spiritual roots were completely destroyed and he completely lost his talent for cultivating immortals, he could still rely on his teaching skills to become a gold medal lecturer and be popular.
After teaching for half a class, Chen Siyu was solving problem after problem. She still asked Jiang Ning without any self-awareness:
"Who do you think is smarter, me or Yuxia?"
Jiang Ning: "How can you compare to Yuxia?"
Chen Siyu reflected and then comforted herself: 'He said that Yuxia is wiser than me, it must be because he wants something from Bai Yuxia.'
Near the end of get out of class, Xue Yuantong woke up from a deep sleep. Her eyes were bleary and her hair was messy. In order to sleep more comfortably, she untied her hair.
She groped for her hair tie and wanted Jiang Ning to tie it up for her, but when she thought of being in the classroom, Xue Yuantong gave up in frustration.
After tying her hair, she began to call: "Jiang Ning."
Jiang Ning abandoned the stupid Chen Siyu and turned around to communicate with her.
…
The second period of self-study in the evening, ten minutes before the end of get out of class.
Xin Youling is on top of the podium, and now her influence is gradually increasing through key decisions, and her symbol of squad leader is becoming more and more obvious.
The break after this class will be a 20-minute long break.
After work, 20 minutes is only a very short time, but when I was a student, these 20 minutes were surprisingly long.
Guo Kunnan changed seats with Shan Kaiquan again. He was playing with his mobile phone boredly, his eyes drifting to the podium from time to time, and his Taoist heart swayed.
"Brother Ma, are you trying to fool me this afternoon? Xin Youling didn't look at me at all!" Guo Kunnan was puzzled. He observed two periods of evening self-study and didn't see Xin Youling's gaze coming again.
Ma Shicheng continued to lie: "I saw it."
Guo Kunnan wondered: "If she watched it in the afternoon, why didn't she watch it in the evening?"
Ma Shicheng: "Because women are fickle."
Wang Longlong kept talking: "Your gaze is so hot, how could she not feel it? But you have to know, it is class time now, if she looks at you affectionately, where will she put her dignity, and how can she intimidate the entire class?
?She doesn’t look at you because she’s afraid that she can’t control herself!”
Although Guo Kunnan knew that Wang Longlong was talking nonsense, he still felt excited and happy when he heard the saying that "loyal words are offensive to the ears, but slanderous words are pleasing to the ears".
Guo Kunnan suppressed laughter and sighed: "It must be very hard for her to plan the program for the New Year's Day party. It's a pity that I don't have any talent."
He was extremely disappointed. As an honest rural boy, he knew nothing about singing or dancing.
How could he hold up a blue sky for Xin Youling when he had no talent?
Ma Shicheng: "It's not too late to learn."
"Learn?" Guo Kunnan shook his head, "Easier said than done?"
Ma Shicheng looked at Shan Kaiquan in front of him and said: "If you are dissatisfied with the status quo, try to change it and don't fall soberly."
Guo Kunnan followed his gaze and saw his good brother Shan Kaiquan giving a lecture to Lu Qiqi.
Has Shan Kaiquan, who was once at the same level as him, reached this level now?
Guo Kunnan was suddenly frightened. He was so scared. He couldn't see the beauty of Quanzi!
Guo Kunnan confided in his heart: "I also want to work hard, Brother Ma. Every night before going to bed, I tell myself that I must work hard tomorrow, get up early to endorse, exercise, and not touch my phone. But when the alarm clock rang the next day,
I turned it off again, continued to sleep, and then did nothing for the whole day."
He was in so much pain. He felt like he was repeating what happened yesterday. When he thought about how he would spend the rest of his life like this, he felt suffocated and his heart trembled with fear.
Wang Longlong clenched his fists: "You have to learn to defeat yourself."
Guo Kunnan asked: "How can I defeat myself?"
This question is so profound that Wang Longlong couldn't explain it well for a while.
Seeing that they were silent, Guo Kunnan said dejectedly: "Forget it, I have seen through it, this is how I will be for the rest of my life."
"Rural people like us have no future."
Ma Shicheng comforted: "Don't think so wildly."
Wang Longlong: "Don't give up on yourself, Brother Nan, I believe there will be a day when your head falls to the ground."
Ma Shicheng reminded: "You said it wrong, it was 'people fell to the ground'."
Wang Longlong said happily: "That's wrong, it should be 'the ground falls on the head'."
Ma Shicheng: "Isn't it 'heads out of the ground'?"
Guo Kunnan: “…”
He is too tired.
…
Evening self-study period.
Xue Yuantong, the twins, Bai Yuxia and Yang Sheng went to buy something to eat outside the school together.
Jiang Ning didn't go, so he wasn't worried about the few people. He knew very well that Yang Sheng was a girl who carried a knife with her.
Jiang Ning walked to the east corridor, blowing the night breeze and overlooking the students playing badminton in the east square.
Zhuang Jianhui originally planned to come here to relax, but as soon as he left the classroom door, he found Jiang Ning standing there.
Zhuang Jianhui's expression changed. After all, the two of them had conflicts, and there was a hurdle in his heart that he couldn't overcome. Without saying a word, he turned around and returned to class.
Without the interference of others, Jiang Ning enjoyed the Feng Shui treasure land alone.
He stood quietly, letting the weak night wind blow his hair, and his consciousness extended. He saw the teaching building where the third grade of high school was located. Many students with heavy bags under their eyes were buried under the mountain of books, writing with their heads down.
Exam papers.
He saw two boys gathering in a corner of the campus to smoke and discuss playing LoL at night.
He saw the figures of several girls in Art Building No. 4, dancing as gracefully as butterflies, with their buds ready to bloom.
He also saw students chasing each other, laughing and shouting in the square of Nuo Nuo University.
These are all the colors of youth. Apart from the heavier study tasks, high school is probably the best time.
After filtering out the jerks in junior high school and the reality after entering college, everyone is on a relatively fair line.
Jiang Ning just watched all of this quietly, and her mind was simply empty, not thinking about the interest disputes, intrigues, and interpersonal relationships in the adult world.
At the door of Class 8 classroom, Guo Kunnan was extremely melancholy. He glanced at Cui Yumenggui who was laughing and scolding on the balcony. He was disappointed and did not choose to join them.
Because their laughter made Guo Kunnan feel harsh and his heart felt uncomfortable. Now he just wanted to hide in the darkness.
So, Guo Kunnan came to the east corridor.
He held onto the balcony and looked at his classmates playing badminton in the square downstairs. The badminton balls were slightly deflected by the wind.
"Alas!" Guo Kunnan sighed.
Jiang Ning glanced at him but said nothing.
Guo Kunnan suddenly said: "Jiang Ning, how did you practice your magic? Did it take a lot of time?"
Jiang Ning's magic show on New Year's Day last year shocked the entire class. He most regretted not recording it with his mobile phone.
Jiang Ning thought about the difficulty of cultivating immortality and said, "It did take a long, long time."
Guo Kunnan showed an expression of surprise.
Guo Kunnan remembers that when he first started in high school, Jiang Ning was not very tall and did not do well in studies. He heard that he only scored over 640 points when he entered the school, which was only a 50-50 score compared to him.
Guo Kunnan suddenly thought that perhaps Jiang Ning had also experienced Shan Kaiquan's transformation and became what he is now.
What could cause such a big change in a man?
It must be because of the stimulation of a certain girl!
Guo Kunnan seems to have discovered a big secret!
After making some guesses in his mind, he made up his mind that he still knew something about the art of conversation.
So facing the deep night, he took the lead in telling the story: "I used to have a girl with whom I talked very well. We talked during the day, at night, and at night. We used our love words and said good night to each other. She said she would always be with her.
She stayed with me, but in the end, she left me and disappeared into the sea of people."
After finishing speaking, Guo Kunnan thought of Manman, and his expression became even sadder. He asked: "Have you had similar regretful experiences before?"
High school students are not as indifferent as adults. Often after one person takes the initiative to reveal his true feelings, another classmate who is a little more self-aware will also say such things.
It's not like when you join the society later and colleagues get together to talk about salary, but after you take the initiative to talk about it, others are vague or even shut up.
Jiang Ning thought for a while and said in the deep night: "Indeed, there was a time when I was very frustrated. I was downcast and listless every day."
It was three months before the college entrance examination in his previous life. Shen Qing'e's complete indifference, coupled with the huge pressure of taking the exam, and the depression of being dependent on someone else, made Jiang Ning extremely unhappy.
"At that time, there was a girl in the next class. She had very good grades and was pretty. Every time I saw her bouncing ponytail, I felt much better. I didn't have any other ideas. Besides, I was so beautiful.
when…"
Jiang Ning thought about this and looked silent. At that time, his own life was on the verge of collapse, so how could he talk about the future?
After hearing this, Guo Kunnan also sighed. He patted Jiang Ning on the shoulder and said, "I understand this feeling. Ordinary people like us, even if we try our best..."
He thought of Xu Yan, Lu Yaya, and now Xin Youling.
Everything he thought about was filled with sadness. Fortunately, he had a pure Taoist mind, and he was able to recover in an instant with just one turn!
Guo Kunnan said: "Even if I try my best, I can't get even close to them."
Jiang Ning: "Yes, it was quite a failure."
"We were all losers in life." Guo Kunnan felt the same way, and then changed his words, "By the way, I forgot to ask, what happened to you and her later?"
Jiang Ning thought of the stupid Tongtong, so she replied: "We were together every day after that."
Guo Kunnan's eyes were in disbelief and extremely shocked: "Huh?"
Jiang Ning: "What's wrong, aren't you?"
Guo Kunnan's mentality collapsed.
…
At night, a beam of light penetrated the silent bungalow.
Xue Yuantong's crisp cry resounded: "Mom, your invincible daughter is home, come out quickly to greet her!"
Sure enough, within five seconds, Aunt Gu came out of the house with an apron around her waist.
Xue Yuantong quickly jumped out of the car, and because he moved too quickly, he even kicked Jiang Ning in the lower back.
Jiang Ning was not sure for a moment whether she did it unintentionally or on purpose.
After Xue Yuantong jumped out of the car, she picked up the milk tea she bought at the school gate, "Mom, try the milk tea in our school. It's so valuable. It costs 12 yuan a cup! It's made from milk and has brown sugar pearls in it. I bought it for you.
One cup.”
Although Aunt Gu's current salary is not low, the simple nature of rural people still made her blame: "You can just drink it yourself. Buy me whatever you want. I don't like drinking it."
She looked to the next door and said, "Give it to Chu Chu to drink."
Xue Yuantong chuckled: "I bought you a cup, Mom, drink it while it's hot."
Aunt Gu had no choice now, so she had to accept the milk tea from her daughter. She originally wanted her to help with some work, but now she quietly gave up.
Xue Yuantong fixed the straw for her mother, stared at her with bright eyes, took a sip, and asked: "Does it taste good?"
Make black tea with real milk, add brown sugar to the milk tea, add Jiang Ning's speed and lightning, and arrange a heat preservation array for the milk tea, it must be delicious.
Aunt Gu nodded: "It tastes good."
With that said, he took another bite.
Xue Yuantong pointed at her with his hands on his hips and said, "Hahaha, Mom, you just said you didn't like drinking. Did you change so quickly?"
Aunt Gu paused for a moment and then said with a serious face: "There is a porcelain basin in the kitchen that has not been washed. You can go wash it later. Clean it and let me check it."
Xue Yuantong's face fell.
…
At ten o'clock sharp.
Xue Yuantong was wrapped in thick cotton clothes and arrived at Jiang Ning's Happy House on time.
As soon as he entered the room, the warm breath hit his face. Xue Yuantong immediately took off his cotton-padded clothes, revealing the cool nightgown underneath.
She found that her supreme throne was occupied by Jiang Ning. Xue Yuantong was angry: "Do you want to usurp the throne?"
Jiang Ning: "What's wrong? Do you want to rebel?"
Xue Yuantong didn't care about him. Her milk tea was still hidden in Jiang Ning's incubator.
Compared to enjoying milk tea as soon as he gets home, Xue Yuantong still likes to huddle in Jiang Ning's home after taking a bath and savor it slowly and leisurely.
She likes this warm atmosphere.
She took out the milk tea and it was still hot. She took a sip and it burned her mouth!
Xue Yuantong picked up the phone and called Chu Chu.
Three minutes later, Xue Chuchu appeared at the door of Jiang Ning's house.
She found that Tongtong was not sitting on the chair like before, but was curled up on the soft sofa with her bare feet, holding an iPad in her arms.
"Put it there." Xue Yuantong pointed to the incubator in the corner.
Xue Chuchu shamelessly received the milk and pearl milk tea presented by Tongtong.
Now the two little girls were huddled on the sofa drinking milk tea. Xue Chuchu fell in love with it after taking a sip. Although she didn't say anything, it was vaguely obvious from the soft lines on her face that it suited her taste.
Jiang Ning sat in front of the monitor and searched for pictures about ring shapes. The ring he had engraved on Bai Yuxia earlier was just a sapphire ring. Jiang Ning thought about whether he could fill in some other elements.
Xue Yuantong was watching a monster movie on her iPad, and Xue Chuchu was enjoying it with her. Occasionally, she raised her head and found a large picture of a ring on the monitor.
Xue Chuchu's mind was spinning. She lowered her head and rolled up her sleeves. She saw a bright and fiery red rope wrapped around her smooth wrist. Her wrist was white and delicate, making people want to touch it.
Xue Yuantong, who was watching a movie, noticed movement. She also noticed that Chu Chu had a red string on her wrist.
Xue Yuantong immediately reminded: "Chu Chu, why are you wearing a red string? Do you know what this means?"
Her tone was very solemn and rigorous!
Xue Chuchu raised her head, looking confused.
This is the red rope she accidentally discovered when she was packing her things today. She cut some off and put it on her wrist. Is there any taboo on it?
She instantly had many bad associations, for example, the red rope would attract evil spirits, affect her destiny, bring disaster, and other negative effects on herself.
Jiang Ning turned around: "What does it mean?"
Xue Yuantong grinned and smiled happily: "Hehe, I don't know either, I scared Chu Chu."
