Ever since Coach Tan asked Tao You to discuss joining the tennis team, Tao You would take a detour every time he saw him. He would arrive on time for every club activity. After class, he would drag Song Yimian to run away. She always sticks to Hong Xiqi's side and has endless things to talk about.
It was finally a sunny day, and the club activities returned to the outdoors. The ground was still damp, and several benches were piled with things. Tao You arrived late and did not get a seat. During the break, he had to find a relatively dry place. In the corner, a person sat down.
"Tao You." During a break from club activities, Coach Tan finally found an opportunity and stepped forward to ask, "How did you think about the last proposal?"
"Ah." Tao You stood up, patted his butt, and said hesitantly, "No, it's not the end of the month yet?"
Coach Tan put his hands on his hips, knowing that Tao You hadn't thought about it yet, so he said anxiously: "There's only one week left. I've seen your transcript, and your grades are very good."
"Does your family disagree? Do you need me to talk to them?" He guessed a little bit of the reason.
"No!" Tao You raised his voice and hurriedly waved his hands to refuse, "Teacher Tan, give us two more days, and I will definitely give you a reply before the end of the month." The classmate next to him turned his head curiously, and the lively topic was temporarily stopped, and he spoke quietly Listen to their conversation.
No matter how anxious Coach Tan was, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't make the decision for Tao You, and he couldn't call her parents rashly in case he messed up the matter. Tao You has the fastest improvement in ability among the girls who signed up this time, and is also the most suitable to join the team. No matter how late it is, he will have to wait.
He took off his baseball cap and shaved his hair very short, exposing his blue scalp. He scratched his head irritably and put on the cap again. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, just two days." He held up two fingers.
"Okay." Tao You reluctantly agreed after realizing that he couldn't be fooled.
At noon the next day, the chemistry teacher passed by Class 2 and walked into the classroom. He kept making chatter, and the classroom filled with chatter suddenly fell silent.
"Tao You, Xie Haoyu, Fan Xiaowen, Chen Zhengfan..." The chemistry teacher reported the names of seven or eight people in succession. .
"Take the red pen and come to the office." She put down these words, glanced at the classroom again, and after making sure that no one was left behind, she turned and went to the office.
The students whose names were not called breathed a sigh of relief, and the frozen atmosphere became active again. Tao You closed his homework, took out the red pen from his pencil case, held it tightly in his hand, and waited for the others to get up.
"Report."
"Report."
...
The office was a little quiet. It was full of teachers, all minding their own business. There were also a few students standing aside correcting their homework. When they heard the noise, they all looked towards them. The small office immediately seemed a little crowded because of their arrival.
"Have you finished all the corrections?" I thought the teacher had spoken out, reminding the students watching the show, "If you don't finish the corrections, you can't go to the room, and you don't have to go to the next physical education class."
After saying that, the few students who were still raising their heads all lowered their heads and continued to grapple with the question.
Several people entered the office one after another. The chemistry teacher glanced at them, put down the water glass, returned to his work station, pulled out a stack of the quizzes he had just done in the morning, and then pulled out their papers: "You guys, this time, We were at the bottom of the quiz, and of the two classes I teach, you guys are the worst." Her tone was gentle, but her words formed a sharp sword invisibly, stabbing them countless times.
"Chen Zhengfan," the chemistry teacher took out the paper, flipped through it, put it in front of Chen Zhengfan, pointed at the multiple-choice questions and said, "What's going on? You gave me thirteen wrong multiple-choice questions, and none of them were correct. The rate is so low.”
"And you, Xie Haoyu," the chemistry teacher pulled out another paper, showed the almost blank back, and asked, "Why don't you do these big questions? They are all knowledge points just taught in class. Is it because you don't have enough time or because you don't know how to do it?" will do?"
Tao You stood at the end, nervously picking at the soft leather on his pen, feeling that the atmosphere was so oppressive that he couldn't breathe.
"Tao You."
When Tao You heard her name, she walked out from behind and moved to the desk. She saw the paper spread out on the table with red crosses on it. It was very dazzling. Her eyes hurt and her eyelids were reddish. She bit her tightly. Touch the flesh of your lips.
"Hey," the chemistry teacher sighed, frowned into the Chinese character Sichuan, and slightly slowed down his tone and said, "Did you do the chemistry exam before?"
The name is low, but it's not that exaggerated. What's going on this time? These questions are all basic questions. Also, I found that you have been slacking off in class recently. She pointed at the wrong question on the paper, turned around and saw Tao You lowering his head. He paused for a while and stopped talking. "You all go to the side to correct it. If you don't know how, come and ask me. Don't copy each other's answers." Then think about the reasons why the test was so bad this time. Don't just take the in-class test without a parent's signature. "
Tao You took the paper to the corner by the window and stared at the wrong questions on the paper, unable to write. She knew that she had been distracted a lot by the tennis team during this period. Song Yi was the one who got distracted several times in class. She reluctantly pulled her back to reality. Even though she was reading Cheng Binyu's notes, she didn't remember a single knowledge point. This in-class test was the most obvious warning for her.
Tao You took a deep breath, pressed down the pen, and began to correct the wrong questions with difficulty.
"Report." A familiar voice sounded. Song Yimian took the homework book to the desk of the physics teacher. After handing in the homework, he was stopped by the chemistry teacher: "Song Yimian, help take the homework book back. The homework is On pages ninety to ninety-four, you go back and write on the blackboard, the homework book is over there on the window sill."
"Okay." Song Yimian agreed and walked towards the window.
Tao You noticed the approach of the people around him, raised his eyes slightly and glanced, then lowered his head and continued to stare at the wrong question.
"Choose D for this question." Song Yi Miangu's low voice sounded in his ears. He glanced at Tao You who was still thinking hard and said kindly, "Shall I tell you?"
Tao You wrote down the answer next to the wrong question and shook her head in refusal. The chemistry teacher just asked them to correct it themselves. She didn't have the guts to blatantly violate the request under the nose of the chemistry teacher: "Go back quickly, I can do it myself. The homework is over here." She pointed to the pile of homework books next to her with her pen.
Song Yimian stayed next to her for a while, helping Tao You solve a few more questions, then picked up his homework and walked out. He passed by the chemistry teacher's seat and was stopped again.
"Song Yimian, you are so good at chemistry. When you usually do homework in class, please help your deskmate."
"And physics." The physics teacher was correcting homework on the side, and now he also chatted, "You should also help her more."
"Okay teacher." Song Yimian glanced at Tao You's slightly arched back and nodded in agreement. He thought so, but he didn't want to.
The conversation between the three people was not loud, but Tao You still heard it clearly. Her face turned red again, her palms began to sweat, and she felt a little embarrassed. For a moment, she longed for the invisibility spell, or to travel through time and space and disappear completely in this space. .
When the lunch break bell rang, Tao You returned to the classroom with the papers in hand, recalling the conversation between Zhong Qian and the chemistry teacher.
"You can't do any of these? Tao You, you haven't been in your best mood lately." The chemistry teacher corrected the questions that Tao You had corrected, but there were still some mistakes. She closed the paper and asked softly, "What happened?" What's going on? Or did I speak too fast and I can't keep up?"
Of course, it was impossible for Tao You to tell the story about the tennis club. He pursed his lips and found a reason: "I didn't understand it thoroughly."
"Then you have to work more hard after class. This won't work. Even if you don't study chemistry later, you still can't miss this class. Do you understand? If you don't understand anything, you should come to the office and ask in time. I'm not here. You can go to Song Yimian or a classmate or something. The key is to understand the knowledge points thoroughly. If time permits, go to a better cram school and make up your studies. You will definitely not be able to do this... "
There were no club activities that day. On the way home, Tao You kicked the pebbles on the ground thoughtfully, put his hands in his pockets, and said nothing.
A car passed by and the small pond on the roadside splashed water. Song Yimian quickly pulled Tao You aside, frowned and said, "Watch the road."
"What are you thinking about, so entranced?"
Tao You clicked his tongue, sighed again, and said, "It's so annoying. There are so many things going on. I haven't had a good chat with my mother for many days. She seems to have taken on a project recently, and she leaves early and comes home late every day." of. "
"I want to go to the tennis team." Song Yimian saw through Tao You's thoughts at a glance, "The final decision lies with you."
"Chemistry," he continued, "you did so poorly in the exam this time, Cheng Binyu's notes were in vain, but it doesn't matter, you didn't take any exams anyway.
Arithmetic is not the subject. He rubbed Tao You's head comfortingly, "Don't worry, there's still time." "
Tao You returned home thoughtfully. The house was empty, and a note was left on the table: Xiaoyou, the rice is in the pot. Come back and heat it up. Dad will be on duty today. Mom will not be back tonight at the company. You should do your homework early after dinner and don't go to bed too late at night.
She put down the note, threw herself on the sofa, closed her eyes, and let herself go.
On the last day of the working day, Tao You entered the classroom with dark circles under his eyes. As soon as he sat down, he lay on the table and began to catch up on his sleep.
Hong Xiqi's eyes widened and she said in shock: "Xiao Youyou, you were a thief last night, you have these dark circles under your eyes." As she said that, she touched the dark blue under Tao You's eyes, rubbed her fingers, and made sure That's not what was painted on.
"I accidentally fell asleep. I got up in the middle of the night to catch up on my homework." Tao You replied weakly and turned his head, "I want to sleep now. The teacher is here to call me."
The sunlight was a bit dazzling. Tao You opened his eyes slightly and wanted to open the curtains, but he caught a glimpse of a pink corner peeking out of Song Yimian's drawer.
"Morning." Gu Yi and Song Yimian came in with their shoulders crossed and had already completed their morning training. "You guys came so early today."
When Song Yimian walked back to his seat, he closed the curtains and Tao You sat down again, lying on the table, but he was not sleepy at all, and the out-of-place pink color kept appearing in his mind.
"What is this?" Gu Yi took the pink envelope held in Song Yimian's hand, looked through it, and teased with a smile, "Love? Hey, a love letter, Brother Mian, that's okay, a girl will give it to you so soon. I'm sending you a love letter." His voice was a little loud, and other students were attracted to him.
Song Yimian leaned on the seat with an expressionless face, tilted his head and glanced at Tao You who was pointing her head at him. He thought she was asleep, so he didn't disturb her. He lifted the bar and asked Hong Xiqi, "Who is letting this go?" of?"
"How do I know that?" Hong Xiqi shrugged, "There's no name written on it. Many people arrived when I came. Why don't you ask other people."
"Or, could you open it and take a look?" Gu Yi encouraged Song Yimian with a wicked smile, "Maybe there's a name written inside." As he said that, he pretended to open the envelope.
Song Yimian leaned forward and reached out, grabbing the envelope back: "Give it to me."
Although Tao You closed his eyes, his ears were kept erect. When he heard no movement behind him, he wanted to turn his head to see Song Yimian's reaction, but he resisted. However, his mood became more and more irritable. Song Yimian actually accepted the letter. I believe it. Is he opening it now?
When she got up and saw the pink color, she already had a suspicion in her heart. She had already guessed that this day would come. After all, some people are God's darlings. Even if he is low-key enough and just stands there quietly, There will always be countless people's eyes attracted to him.
Song Yimian is this type of person.
Tao You originally thought that he would be indifferent to this, or be able to make fun of it like Gu Yi, but when it really happened, he had indescribable complex emotions in his heart, like a toy that had always been his. , is about to be taken away by others, a little sad, a little dissatisfied.
Tao You's mind was confused and buzzing. She took a deep breath to adjust her state, not wanting to spend this week with this emotion.
Song Yimian folded the envelope and stuffed it into the corner of the desk. From the corner of his eye, he saw Tao You's shoulders rising and falling, and knew that she was not asleep. He couldn't help but feel a little strange. With her character, she should have followed the joke just now. , but she chose to pretend to be asleep and stared at her for a while. Seeing that she had no intention of getting up, she gave up on asking her what she was thinking.
