The days in school always go by very quickly. After several monthly exams, it’s mid-December in the blink of an eye.
I just finished the English in-class test in the morning. At noon, the teacher had already marked the test paper and sent it to me. Jiang Suichu sat dumbly in his seat, lowered his head and looked at the test paper in his hand, and began to fall into self-doubt.
I obviously work hard every day to practice listening and memorizing words, but my English scores have never improved. I didn’t even pass the class exam this time and only scored 76 points.
Liang Yi noticed Jiang Suichu's depression and comforted her, "Sui Sui, it's okay. It's just a test in class."
Jiang Suchu wanted to smile and say that she was fine, but she couldn't laugh, and instead her eyes turned red.
For the first time, she realized that not everything could be done well as long as she worked hard enough. That feeling of powerlessness destroyed her long-standing self-confidence in learning.
The classroom was full of voices talking about grades, and Jiang Suchu felt a little bored. She lowered her head, folded the test paper into tofu cubes, held it in her hands, and then stood up.
Liang saw her standing up, looked up and asked her: "Suisui, do you want to go out?"
Jiang Suichu lowered his eyes and nodded, "Yes."
Liang Yi saw her eyes were a little red and knew that she was in a bad mood after failing the exam and probably wanted to go out for some air. She didn't ask any questions and stood up to make way for her, "Then you come back early, it's quite cold outside."
"good."
Jiang Suichu held the tofu cubes of her test paper and walked out of the noisy classroom with her head lowered. The cold air suddenly sobered her up.
She was lying on the railing of the corridor, staring blankly at something, reviewing her study status in the past few months in her mind.
She thought, didn't she work hard enough? Or maybe she is destined to not be able to learn English well.
Her eyes were getting redder and redder, and she sniffed and realized that she could no longer suppress her emotions. She didn't want others to see her crying, so she raised her arms to wipe away the tears that were about to fall, and walked downstairs with her head lowered.
On the third floor, Tang Zi and Lu Zhinian were leaning on the corridor railing and chatting. Lu Zhinian put his hands on the railing and was reading a newly published academic paper on AI technology with his mobile phone in his hand.
Tang Zi put an arm on his shoulder, "A-Nian, is your birthday coming soon?"
Lu Zhinian nodded, "Yeah."
Tang Zi counted the time and said, "It seems to be next Monday. How do you plan to spend it?"
Lu Zhinian was not very keen on celebrating birthdays, so he said indifferently: "I have class on Monday, how else can I spend it."
Tang Zi said: "I think we should go out for fun on the weekend and call Brother Hao to help you celebrate your birthday in advance."
Lu Zhinian glanced at him and said with a discerning expression, "You just want to go out and play, right?"
Tang Zi's little thought was revealed, he smiled and hooked his neck hard, "The main thing is to help you celebrate your birthday and have fun by the way."
Some time ago, everyone was busy preparing for the midterm exam. After the midterm exam, there were successive weekly and monthly exams. It has been a long time since we went out to play.
Tang Zi: "And doesn't your birthday happen to be Christmas? You can't celebrate double happiness properly."
Lu Zhinian never tolerates these messy festivals. In the past, every birthday was just a simple meal with my parents, collecting some red envelopes from relatives and elders at home, and then going out to have dinner with Pei Shuo and the others.
He took away Tang Zi's hand, twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "Whatever."
He said casually, which meant he agreed. Tang Zi took out his cell phone and said, "I'll send a message to Pei Shuo right now and ask him to prepare."
Tang Zi and Pei Shuo loved to engage in such excitement. Lu Zhinian shook his head helplessly, and when he looked back, he accidentally glanced at Jiang Suchu's figure downstairs.
Lu Zhinian saw her walking very quickly with her head lowered, and from time to time she would raise her arms and rub her eyes with her sleeves.
Cried?
He frowned slightly and immediately turned around and ran downstairs.
Tang Zi was having a heated discussion with Pei Shuo on WeChat when he felt something flash past his eyes and a gust of wind blew. When he looked up, the person who was still next to him had already ran downstairs.
Tang Zhuan was stunned for a moment, then turned around and leaned on the railing and shouted to the stairs: "A-Nian, why are you going?"
But Lu Zhinian didn't reply to him, and his figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs in an instant. Just then the bell for the lunch break rang, covering up his voice.
Tang Zi was a little confused, picked up his phone and sent a message to Pei Shuo.
Tang Zi: [Lu Zhinian seems to be crazy! 】
Pei Shuo: [Black question mark face.ipg]
Tang Zi: [Really! 】
Tang Zi: [He was still next to me just now, but suddenly he ran downstairs like he was possessed by an evil spirit! ! 】
Pei Shuo: [......Oh]
Pei Shuo obviously didn't believe what he said. He knew that Tang Zi was just like him, and what he said was 30% true and 70% false. Besides, how could Lu Zhinian suddenly go crazy? He had never seen Lu Zhinian being rude in front of others since he was a child.
