I occasionally have a few white hairs, and I feel slightly middle-aged. I have become a pawn crossing the river, and I can only move forward with all my strength.
This little poem, given to an old friend by a great writer, very aptly expresses the bad mood of Brother Xiao Lin who is making midnight snack in the kitchen.
read?
Clear up doubts?
Please - I, Lin Ze, have never touched a book in my life. I hold a pen less often than I hold a gun. When the old director gave me a pen at my first birthday party, I thought it was a disguised pen.
The pistol at the end was used to kill people.
Can my brain be used for reading?
Lin Ze was deeply suspicious of this.
But no matter what, he is now in an environment where he must study. Xia Shuzhu asked him to do well in the exam, so Han Xiaoyi decided to stay up late to teach him.
What is the meaning of life?
The saying "live your true self" is largely nonsense. Unless you are insane and live completely in your own imaginary world, it is impossible to ignore the outside world and the expectations of people around you.
In Lin Ze's view, the meaning of human beings lies in not disappointing those who place their hopes on them.
Maybe this is the reason why he lives very tiredly, but he has developed this way of thinking after performing tasks all year round.
Don't let down your comrades, don't let down the old director, don't let down the slogan of serving the people shouted by the leaders.
No matter how much deceit there is, Lin Ze has developed this kind of thinking.
Whether he could live out his true self? As early as when he was fifteen years old, he had never thought about it again.
Walking into Han Xiaoyi's boudoir with a delicious late-night snack, the girl was lying on the bedside playing video games, with excitement written all over her pink face. She didn't notice Lin Ze entering the room at all.
"With your vigilance, I'm really worried about whether you can survive in that intrigue circle." Lin Ze put the hot and cold supper on the small table on the bed with a look of helplessness on his face.
"What are you afraid of?" Han Xiaoyi paused and sat cross-legged across from Lin Ze. Her beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent moons and she said carelessly. "Don't you protect me?"
Lin Ze rubbed the bridge of his nose with a wry smile and lit a cigarette: "After all, I can't protect you for the rest of my life."
"Why not? It's not like I can't afford to treat you." Han Xiaoyi pouted, dipped a piece of fried dumpling in vinegar and put it into her little cherry mouth covered with lip gloss.
"Actually, you know -" Lin Ze felt the need to give Han Xiaoyi a shot in the arm and explained. "Once your dad completes negotiations with interest groups in Southeast Asia, my mission will be completed."
"Really?" Han Xiaoyi said vaguely, avoiding Lin Ze's burning gaze with wandering eyes. "That will happen in the future, I haven't considered it yet."
After eating a few fried dumplings and a bowl of preserved egg and lean meat porridge, Han Xiaoyi saw that Lin Ze still wanted to talk to her about this topic in depth. She kicked him like a baby: "Beast, why don't you bring me the information book? This is all worth it.
That’s it, hurry up and study.”
A wry smile appeared on Lin Ze's lips, he put down his bowls and chopsticks, opened the rolled-up information book, moved the small dining table away, pointed to a few extremely basic math problems in the book, and asked, "Explain it to me first.
These are some questions."
Han Xiaoyi glanced at it and didn't habitually laugh at Lin Ze's poor background. She knew what Lin Ze did, and she also knew that he probably hadn't read more than a few days in his life. Besides - apart from studying, what else could she do?
How proud is he of the spring breeze in front of him?
How much you act coquettishly depends on the time and place. The smart Han Xiaoyi is not a girl who just acts coquettishly to make her lose her temper.
After half an hour of explanation, Han Xiaoyi clearly listed the steps to solve the problem on the paper, pointed out which formulas were used in this problem, and explained that there is often more than one way to solve a mathematical problem. However, during the exam, use the simplest method as much as possible
methods to solve them, so as to save time and solve more difficult questions.
Lin Ze was not stupid. After Han Xiaoyi's explanation for more than half an hour, he wrote down some formulas on his own. He suddenly scratched his head and said, "I found a serious problem."
"Huh? What's the problem?" Han Xiaoyi asked curiously.
"I don't need to calculate at all, I can directly calculate the answers to these questions silently." Lin Ze widened his eyes and looked at Han Xiaoyi strangely.
He didn't understand the reason, so he lit a cigarette in confusion and started smoking.
Han Xiaoyi glanced at the question, then at Lin Ze, who had a stubble on his chin, and asked curiously: "Can you tell me how you calculated silently?"
"Probably -"
Lin Ze told Han Xiaoyi his silent calculation method in a minute, looking expectantly at this smart girl, hoping she would give him an explanation.
"I understand." Han Xiaoyi thought for a moment and said with bright eyes. "You used to be an agent, so you will definitely be exposed to some relatively high-tech products. Right?"
"Occasionally." Lin Ze nodded.
"It's true that you haven't read, but the role of reading is only to help us understand the world better. For example, people can't jump from a high-speed car. We have taken physics classes and can analyze why we can't jump based on physical knowledge. But this is not the case.
It is also a common sense among human beings -" Han Xiaoyi explained, and then said. "Because you come into contact with many things that ordinary people can't come into contact with at work, although you can't learn any knowledge, you are still using these tools and mastering these high technologies.
When you are building a product, you have already mastered this knowledge subtly. Moreover, you are using more advanced knowledge. For example, for the question just now, you did not use the knowledge and formulas you learned in high school to answer, but you used the skills you learned in college.
Learn advanced mathematics silently——"
Lin Ze was stunned and said, "Does that mean I'm better than you?"
Han Xiaoyijiao smiled and said: "Nonsense. You know advanced mathematics and I know the same thing." After a pause, he continued. "The problem now is that you have some knowledge and can calculate the answer to the question silently, but you cannot write down the solution process.
."
"Why do you want to explain the process? Isn't it enough to know the answer?" Lin Ze curled his lips and asked.
"Theoretically, it's possible." Han Xiaoyi said. "But taking the exam must not only include the answers. You must write down the solution process, so that you can get high scores."
"Unreasonable." Lin Ze frowned and shook his head.
"Society is so chaotic because there are too many unreasonable things." Han Xiaoyi said meaningfully. "If you can't change, you can only adapt."
Lin Ze raised his head and looked carefully at this girl who was sometimes fierce, sometimes delicate, and sometimes cunning. Suddenly, he felt that Han Xiaoyi's understanding of the world was deeper than he imagined.
Otherwise, how could she say such a seemingly simple but actually full of wisdom?
He smiled slightly and said, "You're right. I can't ask the teacher to change the way he marks the test paper. Please teach me how to answer it."
"Didn't I teach you already? These formulas and steps are all for use." Han Xiaoyi poked at the formulas listed on the paper with her slender fingers.
"I don't understand." Lin Ze asked seriously. "Can you say it again?"
"——"
Han Xiaoyi patiently explained to the man in front of her who was two years older than her in actual age and ten years older in mental age. She had never had this patience with any man, including her father Han Zhenbei. But for Lin Ze, she
He almost tapped out all his potential and explained over and over again to Lin Ze what he didn't understand and what he didn't understand.
Unknowingly, the time had quietly reached three o'clock in the morning. Han Xiaoyi, who had been lowering his head to explain, had a very sore neck. He rubbed the back of his neck and said, "Do you understand all this?"
"Yes, I understand." Lin Ze grinned. "With my wisdom, it is difficult to understand."
Seeing Han Xiaoyi's face looking tired, he suddenly picked up Han Xiaoyi by the waist like a prank, frightening the girl's face to pale, and beat him on the chest a few times with all her strength.
"Haha——" Lin Ze walked to the bedside and gently threw her body, which smelled of fruit after bathing, onto the bed. He immediately covered her with a thin quilt and said with a smile. "It's getting late. I'll be back tomorrow."
You have to go to class, so take a break."
"Yeah." Han Xiaoyi closed her beautiful eyes a little reservedly, not daring to look at this man who was a little arrogant, a little vulgar, and a little careful.
Lin Ze carefully helped her tighten the quilt in front of her chest to prevent the cold wind from blowing in and catching her cold. Then he helped her turn off the bedside lamp and said softly: "Good night."
"Good night."
Han Xiaoyi's bedroom was very large. With Lin Ze's sensitive awareness of area, it was at least fifty square meters. Excluding the bathroom and wardrobe, the usable area was still quite large. Seeing Han Xiaoyi slowly falling asleep, Lin Ze opened the information book again.
, holding a ballpoint pen and drawing on a notebook.
Generally speaking, he has memorized some of the must-memorize formulas and steps that need to be mastered by Han Xiaoyi. But after all, he has never read a book. Even if he is very talented, it is impossible for him to master it in just a few hours.
Become proficient in these problem-solving steps.
Fortunately, some of the tasks he had performed required similar knowledge. Although it was much more advanced than high school knowledge, he could not use advanced mathematics to answer high school questions. But after all, he had this idea, and it was not completely futile to master.
No brainer.
From three o'clock in the morning to seven o'clock in the morning, Lin Ze repeatedly solved the problem without sleep, one by one, one by one. He actually used half of a notebook with a hundred pages. It was full of scrawled writing.
Solution process and notes.
Finally, Lin Ze couldn't bear the fatigue and chaotic mind, and subconsciously held his forehead to take a nap——
When the first ray of sunlight in the morning diffused through the curtains and filled the soft Simmons bed, Han Xiaoyi woke up quietly and rubbed her slightly sore eyes. She looked up slightly and found that Lin Ze was still sitting at the desk.
Next. Perhaps because he was afraid of affecting Han Xiaoyi's sleep, he adjusted the light of the desk lamp to be very soft and not dazzling.
Han Xiaoyi stood up gently and crawled towards Lin Ze, who was dozing off with his back bent.
He held a ballpoint pen in his mouth and frowned, as if he was thinking about an insurmountable problem. After staying up late, his chin and mouth were covered with sharp stubble. Perhaps his sleeping posture was uncomfortable, and his head was like a small
Like a chicken pecking at rice, one high and one low drooped and lifted——
Han Xiaoyi's chest was filled with heartache and pity. She patted his shoulder gently and said softly: "Lin Ze, go to bed and rest if you feel sleepy. Don't be exhausted."
"ah--"
Lin Ze's body jerked violently, and the ballpoint pen in his mouth fell onto the desk, dripping with saliva.
Seeing Han Xiaoyi standing nearby, he rubbed his cheeks unconsciously, glanced at the wall clock with red and swollen eyes, and immediately said in surprise: "Oh, I'm going to be late, I'll make breakfast for you!" After that, he walked out the door.
Rush away.
"Lin Ze! Stop!" Han Xiaoyi shouted loudly.
"Ah? What's wrong?" Lin Ze turned his head and said mentally.
"Who are you?" Han Xiaoyi walked towards him.
"Bodyguard." Lin Ze patted his groggy head and added, "Personal bodyguard."
"As a bodyguard, should you listen to your employer?" Han Xiaoyi came to him.
"Yes." Lin Ze said confusedly.
"Then I order you to go to bed immediately!" Han Xiaoyi said arrogantly.
"No. Who will make breakfast for you while I'm sleeping? Who will take you to school?" Lin Ze asked in confusion. He couldn't figure out what kind of epilepsy Han Xiaoyi was having.
At the same time, I also lamented that reading is really not something people do. It was too tiring to stay up all night to solve problems. The brain kept spinning at a high speed from beginning to end, almost leaving Lin Ze brain-dead.
"I can make breakfast and I can drive!" Han Xiaoyi said stubbornly.
"It still doesn't work." Lin Ze shook his head resolutely. "This is my job, how can I let you do it? Don't worry, I just slept for a while, and I feel much better now."
After saying that, he was about to leave and go downstairs, but his back was hugged by Han Xiaoyi who rushed up.
Lin Ze's spirit was shaken when he smelled the fragrance coming from the girl's body.
"Tell me, are you studying so hard just to stay in Class Three?" Han Xiaoyi asked.
"Yeah." Lin Ze nodded.
"To protect me personally?" Han Xiaoyi buried her head in his not-so-forgiving back.
"Hmm." Lin Ze paused and said frivolously. "Are you stupid in your sleep? Can you ask such a mentally retarded question?"
Han Xiaoyi ignored Lin Ze's sarcasm and suddenly started crying like a baby.
"Why do you want to be so nice to others? Why do you do things that impress others? Do you know -" Han Xiaoyi choked up inarticulately. "You are so kind, I will fall in love with you!"
