When Tao You returned home, Tao's mother was already home, watching dramas in the living room: "You're back, how did you study?"
She glanced at the TV, which happened to show the male protagonist facing a group of social gangsters alone. She withdrew her gaze and replied tiredly: "It's okay. I've finished my tasks for today."
Tao's mother heard the tiredness in her voice, and said softly: "Go take a bath and relax. Stop studying later, read a book and go to sleep."
Tao You was a little surprised by Tao's mother's attitude and did not dare to agree without permission, fearing that she would have some back-up.
Mother Tao noticed her disbelieving look, looked over at her, and said in a serious voice: "What's wrong? If you don't want to rest, just continue studying."
Tao You shook his head quickly and rushed back to the room: "No, I'm too tired today. I overused my brain. I can't think now. I need to rest." He couldn't help but poke his head out. The TV show had already shown the male protagonist challenging everyone. She couldn't help but say, "Mom, you should watch less of these mindless soap operas. This man looks weak and gentle, how can he win against so many people? It's too fake."
"Why do you talk so much nonsense?" Tao's mother turned around, dissatisfied with Tao You's words, and retorted, "Don't just look at people by their appearance. He is a black belt in Taekwondo, and he has a boxing gym at home. With such a person, it only takes a minute. Son. If you have so much energy, you can write ten more papers for me before you go to sleep." She rolled her eyes as she spoke, turned back and continued watching TV, her mood not affected by Tao You at all.
Tao Huhu rolled his eyes silently, curled his lips, and muttered a few words silently.
"Your mother has been addicted to watching TV these past two days, and you are trying to get into trouble at this time." Tao's father handed her a glass of milk.
Tao You pointed at the TV and complained to Tao's father in a low voice: "This, we can't let people tell the truth. This body does not look like a martial arts practitioner." She was very helpless. She felt that what happened tonight, I have seen the world, but watching this TV is really too fake, "Since when did Mom like to watch these TVs?"
Tao's father laughed out loud. He had already felt this way, but he didn't dare to say it in front of Tao's mother.
Tao's mother patted the sofa hard and made a muffled sound in a serious voice: "Tao Hong! Tao You!"
Tao You and Dad Tao looked at each other, raised their eyebrows, and went back to their rooms.
Before going to bed, Tao You took out Song Yimian's doll from her schoolbag, only to find that it was a Pikachu with a frown, squinting eyes and a grin. It looked ugly and deserved a beating. She thought of Song Yimian and put it on the doll's face. After giving it a few hard blows, I really couldn't bear to look at it. I was afraid of being scared later, so I opened the closet and stuffed it into the bottom corner.
In her dream at night, she dreamed that Ding Ziming and his gang rushed up and beat Song Yimian without saying a word. He was beaten until there was no good spot on his face, and he lay dying on the ground. Ding Ziming's eyes full of anger looked towards him. She swept over, her legs were weak and she leaned against a wall. She watched in horror as he approached her. She wanted to run away, but she couldn't move. She was sweating on her forehead. The next second, Tao You was woken up by the alarm clock. , she turned off the alarm clock, got up and went to the living room to pour a glass of cold water, drank a few sips of it, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, calmed down, and thought to herself: Song Yimian must compensate her for her mental losses this time.
The holiday passed by in the blink of an eye, and the first day back to school was the monthly exam. Tao You was not in a good mood. Although he studied for five out of seven days, homework took up most of the time. Plus the time for desertion, it was difficult to really review. Within a few days.
A few hours before the exam, Tao You was still flipping through the textbook and memorizing knowledge points, remembering every bit he could.
"Tao You, please sign up for a project." Gu Yi originally thought that many people would take the initiative to participate in the sports meeting, but it turned out to be a chore. Before the holiday, for a whole week, the number of people who came to him to sign up was in the single digits. As soon as he arrived in the classroom today, he went around the classroom begging his classmates to sign up for the sports meet. Very few people agreed, especially girls, because there were not enough places. Fa and Laoban were on business.
"No." Tao You refused without even looking at it. She closed her eyes, covered her ears, and continued to recite. She had no time to think about it now.
Gu Yi's face was wrinkled. He put the registration form in front of Tao You's eyes, put his hands together on top of his head, and said in a sincere tone: "Brother, can you help me? Just choose one at random. There are too few of you girls participating. No matter what the project is, there has to be someone who can make up the numbers. I really, really asked everything I could. I only came to you as a last resort. You see, I even said that I was confused. I still have a few minutes to go. Hand it in, I can't handle this at all, big brother, please help me."
Tao You's mind went blank as he was talking about it. She opened her eyes and looked at him with a frown: "Don't mistake me for brother." She lowered her head and glanced at the registration list. The remaining projects all required a lot of physical strength. The ones listed are all for running, and I can’t run." With that, he returned the registration form to Gu Yi.
"Then you can simply sign up for a thousand and a half and make up the numbers. If you can't run, you can still walk. It's better than the other runners." Gu Yiti suggested the report list.
Tao You was very embarrassed when she saw that he would not give up until he signed up, but the exam was coming soon and there was no time for her to hesitate, so she hastily agreed: "Okay, okay, but I've said it first, I won't get the prize. "
"It's okay, no one cares about this, the important thing is to participate." Gu Yi excitedly wrote Tao You's name after one thousand and five, preparing to persuade a few more girls.
Tao You thought to herself: It sounds nice now, but if she won't win the award then, I don't know how many people will talk about her behind her back.
"Gu Yi, can I still register for the sports meeting now?" Chen Lian came over with a pen and asked softly.
Gu Yi turned around to see her, was stunned for a moment, and said in a cold tone: "Okay."
Chen Lian noticed his attitude, forced a smile, pushed up her glasses with her index finger, and said shyly: "I'll quote one thousand five hundred and eight hundred."
Someone took the initiative to sign up, and Gu Yi couldn't be happier. He agreed repeatedly. It was almost done. He took the registration form and rushed to the office, rushing to hand in the registration form at the last moment.
Tao You didn't expect Chen Lian to sign up. She didn't look like someone who would take the initiative to participate in these activities.
"Stop reading now and relax." In the last half hour, the head teacher walked into the classroom and stopped everyone, "I will give you seven days to review during the National Day. It should be almost done."
Few of the students below put down their textbooks at the request of the homeroom teacher. Basically, they are still reviewing their weak points, hoping to remember them better.
The head teacher didn't really stop them. He stood on the podium for a while and said: "This is your examination room and admission ticket number. They have been posted on the table. You can compare them when the time comes. Put the books on the table." Keep it away. If another student takes it away, you may not be able to find it. Don’t forget to get your own book back after the exam.”
This is their first major exam since entering high school. There are no other exams for comparison. The exam rooms are arranged according to the first letter of the last name. Tao You and Song Yimian were assigned to the same examination room.
"Are you nervous?" Standing outside the examination room, Song Yimian looked at Tao You's unhappy face and asked.
Tao You glanced at him and continued to flip through the Chinese book: "Nonsense, not everyone is like you and can get high scores without studying."
Song Yimian watched Tao You enter the examination room with a look of disbelief on his face. Who said he could get high scores without studying? He was not a god. They didn't know how hard he worked.
The first exam was a Chinese language paper. Halfway through the first page, Tao You got stuck. What was behind this poem, "The sun sets over the long river?" no no. Tao You closed his eyes, shook his wrist slightly up and down, and tried hard to clear away the thick fog covering the poem in his mind, but the effect was minimal.
Her pen paused there, her expression gradually becoming anxious. The students around her were writing furiously and flipping through the papers. Some of them had already reached the second page. As a last resort, she skipped the question and continued on, but My mind still can't help but think about it.
There were still five minutes left before the end of the exam. Tao You finally finished writing the essay, turned back to the first page, and continued to chew on the pen and think hard. She knew that she had always been bad at memorizing ancient poems, and was particularly prone to forgetfulness during exams. So she was reviewing ancient poems five minutes before the exam, and she had forgotten them without thinking.
She glanced at the invigilator who was sitting on the podium playing with her mobile phone, and she had some thoughts. She turned her head slightly to the left and right. Most of the students had finished completing the questions and were checking. Song Yimian was sitting diagonally in front of her, very close, but it was not easy to say hello, and she was only 10% sure that Song Yimian would understand. Tell her the answer, and the people around her don't know her, and they can't help her cheat at the risk of being discovered. But before the exam, the Chinese teacher gave them an ultimatum. As long as there are deductions for ancient poems, the ones in the textbook She copied all the ancient poems thirty times. At that time, she went through the books and read them. There were a lot of them, and her hand would definitely be useless after copying them.
Just when she was debating whether to go to Song Yimian or not, the invigilator walked down with his hands folded across his chest, stood in front of a classmate, knocked on his desk, and said seriously: "Take it out."
Everyone looked over. The student slowly took out a small ball of paper from the drawer. Before he could put it on the table, the invigilator took it away and unfolded it. After reading it, his eyes were sharp. Staring at the boy, he asked, "Who passed this on to you?"
The classroom was silent, and the clicking sound of the clock at the back of the classroom seemed particularly abrupt at the moment. Everyone waited with bated breath for the boy's answer. He lowered his head, hunched his back, and his forehead was hitting the table. He wrung his hands tightly without saying a word.
"I want to bear it all by myself." Seeing that he didn't speak, the teacher stared at him and continued to say sternly, "You are harming others and yourself! You did something small in the first monthly exam! You are so courageous! You didn't tell me I can also find out, you think this camera is just a decoration!" After saying that, she took away the boy's paper and returned to the podium, wrote his name and test number on the paper, and recorded this test as zero points.
Camera! Everyone was startled and turned to look for the camera.
Tao You carefully looked at the surrounding walls, not missing any corner, and finally found a 360-degree camera in the corner next to the big screen. It was so hidden! The exam bell rang at this time, and Tao You was secretly glad that he did not ask Song Yimian, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous, so he might as well copy ancient poems. She sighed and packed away her stationery. She saw the boy who was caught walking out alone with his head lowered, dragging his feet and looking unclear. The classmates avoided him, whispered to the side, and took the initiative to clear a path for him.
