Lu Zhinian came back quickly.
He came here running, and his hair, which was already messy before, was now even messier. But he didn't care. After sitting down, he scratched the back of his head with his hands and combed his hair into a long back, completely exposing his superior facial features.
"Let's take you somewhere?" Lu Zhinian pulled her up and picked up the coat on the stool.
"Where to go?" Jiang Suchu looked at him blankly.
He held a pen, notebook and mobile phone in his hand and said, "You'll find out when you get there."
Jiang Suichu was pulled out of the grove by Lu Zhinian for some unknown reason, and walked all the way down, bypassing the canteen towards the multimedia teaching building.
The multimedia classroom is usually not open. They only come here when they need to do experiments in music and physics classes.
During lunch break, the whole building was empty.
Jiang Suchu was taken up to the third floor by Lu Zhinian. The third floor was a computer classroom, and each classroom door was locked. The two walked to the innermost classroom, and then Lu Zhinian took out a key from his pocket.
Jiang Suchu watched him open the classroom door and asked him, "Lu Zhinian, how come you have the key to the computer classroom?"
Lu Zhinian opened the door, turned around and teased her, "I just stole it from the teacher's office."
. . . .
Jiang Suichu rolled his eyes, as if to say: Do you think I will believe it?
The curtains in the classroom are all closed, making it a little dark.
Lu Zhinian smiled, stopped teasing her, and pulled her into the classroom, "I participated in an information technology competition. I come here every day at noon and self-study class to practice programming, so I asked the teacher for the key."
"Information technology competition?" Jiang Suichu had never heard of it and didn't know what it was about.
Lu Zhinian put the things in his hands on the seat near the door in the front row, turned and closed the classroom door, nodded, and said, "Well, there will be a national AI technology competition at the end of the year."
She rarely saw Lu Zhinian studying hard. He always looked very relaxed. It turns out that for a competition, he would study alone in an empty computer classroom when everyone else was taking a lunch break.
She thought of the books on computer programming that filled the walls of Lu Zhinian's study, as well as the various award certificates placed in the cabinets.
How much effort did it take for him to achieve those achievements?
Jiang Suchu watched him walk to the podium, turned on the computer and projector, and called him softly.
"Lu Zhinian."
"Huh?" Lu Zhinian was working on the computer with his head down when he heard her asking him to raise his head and look at her.
"Is it hard for you to learn programming?" she asked.
He raised an eyebrow, "Why do you ask?"
Jiang Suchu looked at him and said, "I just want to know if a smart person like you can learn anything easily."
Lu Zhinian smiled after hearing what she said.
He put his hands on both sides of the podium, looked at her, and said: "Sui Sui, no one in this world is born with everything, and I am the same. I am not as easy to do as you see. I have also been I locked myself in my room all day because I couldn't write a program or find bugs in my code. I also experienced depression and self-doubt. These are things that others can't see or know."
As he spoke, he picked up the remote control on the podium and pressed it, and the projection screen behind him slowly descended.
"Let me show you something."
Jiang Suchu saw him leaning over, his hands on the computer keyboard, his fingertips moving quickly. Following his movements, some symbols that she couldn't understand appeared on the projection screen, arranged in rapid combinations line by line.
Less than three minutes later, he stopped moving his fingertips and raised his eyes to look at her.
At that moment, the light from the computer screen shone on his already angular face. Between the light and shadow, the dimple on his right cheek looked deeper than usual.
Lu Zhinian looked at her and raised the corners of his mouth and said, "Jiang Suichu, don't blink."
Then there was a crisp sound, and the moment his index finger pressed the Enter key, the symbols on the curtain instantly turned into fireworks that filled the screen.
Jiang Suchu opened his eyes slightly, filled with the sparkle of fireworks.
She looked at Lu Zhinian in surprise and joy, "Lu Zhinian, you are so awesome!"
Some messy symbols actually turned into gorgeous fireworks at his fingertips.
Lu Zhinian smiled lightly at the admiration in her eyes and raised his eyebrows slightly: "Awesome?"
Jiang Suichu nodded, "Yeah! It feels so magical."
Digital fireworks kept flashing, and bright or bright lights flashed on the faces of the two people.
Lu Zhinian stood up straight, looked at her and said: "For programming, this is actually very simple C language programming. Others can learn it in a few minutes or even a few hours, but it took me several days to figure out the principle. "
He shrugged and said in a humorous tone: "You see, I am not as omnipotent as you think."
"Perhaps there is indeed so-called genius in this world. But I have always felt that talent is only the upper limit of a person, and hard work is the lower limit."
Jiang Suchu sat there, raising his head and listening to him carefully.
She felt like she was seeing a different Lu Zhinian at this moment. He is not the omnipotent and proud Lu Zhinian that his classmates say.
Rather, a Lu Zhinian who has given up all the aura given to him by the outside world, but still shines brightly.
Lu Zhinian walked off the podium, sat next to her, looked at her and said, "Don't deny your efforts. Even if you don't get the results you want right now, it doesn't mean you haven't worked hard enough. Many things are delayed. Sexually, the present does not represent the future.”
Jiang Suchu held the test paper in his hand, the tip of his nose was slightly sour, and looked at him and asked, "Is this really the case?"
Lu Zhinian looked at her sincerely, nodded and said, "That's how learning English is. It's a process of adding up little things and making more."
After laying the groundwork for so long, feeling the change in Jiang Suichu's attitude, he finally revealed his final purpose.
"Show me the test paper and let's find out the reason together?"
Jiang Suchu was still a little embarrassed. She pursed her lips and slowly let go of the hand she had been squeezing tightly.
Lu Zhinian lowered his eyes and picked up the tofu cube test paper in her hand.
She had held the test paper for too long, and the creases were wet and cracked.
Lu Zhinian carefully unfolded the test paper and placed it between the two of them. Then he turned sideways and stretched out his arms to take over the notebook and pen that had just been placed on the seat at the door.
He first roughly read the entire test paper, looked at her score points, and had a general understanding of her English level.
Then I looked carefully at her mistakes. It was almost the same as before. She had a big problem with her listening, and then her vocabulary was insufficient and her grammar was a bit confusing.
After reading it, he asked her: "Are you practicing your listening skills now?"
Jiang Suichu nodded and said with some frustration: "I practice every day. But... I just can't get up."
Lu Zhinian: "How do you practice?"
Jiang Suichu: "I just listened to the original listening audio audio that Teacher Guan sent me. I listen to it once in self-study class every day, and I also listen to one when I go back to the dormitory at night."
Lu Zhinian: "Do you feel dizzy when you listen to it?"
"Yes! How did you know?" Jiang Suichu looked at him in surprise and nodded.
Lu Zhinian smiled and twirled the pen between his fingers.
Jiang Suchu was a little embarrassed and looked away from the test paper, "It reads too fast. I often don't understand it and it's easy to get distracted."
Lu Zhinian nodded, probably understanding.
Then he opened the notebook he brought and wrote a random word on it.
—SUbStantial
"Do you know this word?"
Jiang Suichu took a look, and his first reaction was how could Lu Zhinian write so well in English.
Clean and sharp Italian italics.
She shook her head, "I don't know."
It's normal not to recognize it. What Lu Zhinian wrote was an uncommon word.
He said: "Try to spell it and see how to pronounce it."
Jiang Suchu bit his lip, a little embarrassed to speak. Lu Zhinian encouraged her, "It doesn't matter, give it a try."
She put her hand on the notebook, pointed at the words with her fingertips, and tried. Every time she read a phonetic symbol, she had to look at Lu Zhinian, for fear that she would spell it wrong.
After finally finishing reading, she looked at Lu Zhinian and asked carefully: "Right...right?"
Lu Zhinian listened to her stumbled reading, smiled and shook his head, "That's not right."
When Jiang Suchu slumped his shoulders in frustration, she knew something was wrong.
Lu Zhinian probably guessed what was going on. He picked up a pen and marked the phonetic symbols on the words.
Ask her: "Have you never learned phonetic symbols before?"
Jiang Suichu nodded.
She only started to be exposed to English when she was in junior high school. In the first class, the teacher taught them to read the word list at the back of the English textbook. Not even the phonetic symbols were taught, so I relied on rote memorization to memorize the pronunciation of words.
After entering high school, the teacher asked them to spell the words on their own in the first English class. She was completely confused at that time, she didn't know how to do it at all.
Lu Zhinian said: "It doesn't matter, the phonetic symbols are very easy to learn."
Jiang Suichu raised his eyes and looked at him. He pointed at the words with his pen and said, "Read with me."
Lu Zhinian first told her the pronunciation of each phonetic symbol, and then slowed down his speaking speed and read them consecutively.
Jiang Suichu imitated his pronunciation and read it in a low voice.
Lu Zhinian noticed that she was not confident in her pronunciation and encouraged her, "You read it very well. Read it again with a louder voice. Okay?"
With Lu Zhinian's encouragement, Jiang Suchu gradually gained some confidence and spoke louder.
After reading, Lu Zhinian smiled, rubbed her head, and praised: "It's great."
His tone was like coaxing a child, and Jiang Suchu felt a little embarrassed by the praise.
My face feels a little hot.
Lu Zhinian turned over her test paper and said, "The main problem you have now is poor listening and vocabulary. This test paper was written by Teacher Guan himself. There are many rare words in reading comprehension. It's normal for you not to know it."
Jiang Suchu was afraid that he was trying to comfort himself, so he didn't believe it: "Really?"
Lu Zhinian glanced sideways at her, picked up the pen and tapped her forehead, "Don't believe me?"
Jiang Suichu touched his forehead and nodded repeatedly, "Trust, trust, trust."
Lu Zhinian curled up the corner of his mouth and continued: "For listening, don't listen to Teacher Guan for now. Listening cannot just rely on practice, you must first cultivate your own sense of language and context."
Her foundation is already weak, and listening to boring original audio from the beginning will only be counterproductive.
Jiang Suchu asked him: "Then how can I improve my hearing?"
Lu Zhinian thought for a moment, took his mobile phone and entered the password in front of Jiang Suchu.
"Your password is birthday."
After speaking, she quickly explained: "I didn't mean to watch it."
She originally planned to look away, but he entered quickly and she saw it all at once.
Lu Zhinian smiled and said nothing. He clicked on the audio file saved on his phone and clicked on a random section.
(Life iS fOr eXperienCing It'S nOt meant tO pOrtray perfeCtiOn .

(Translation: Life is for experience, not for perfection.
I am gradually able to accept the darker parts of myself,
Forgive yourself for being slow and mediocre, allow yourself to make mistakes, and allow yourself to black out occasionally.
Trying to bloom with your shortcomings is the only way to reconcile with yourself.
It is difficult for us to do everything well so that there will be no regrets in life.
Do your best.
Allow everything to backfire. )
As the progress bar scrolls, a clear and low-mellow male voice overflows from the phone, which is standard American pronunciation.
Jiang Suichu felt that the voice was familiar after hearing it. He turned his head and looked at Lu Zhinian with bright eyes: "This is your voice!"
Not a question.
She was sure that the voice on the phone was as good as the voice that had just taught her how to read words.
Lu Zhinian touched the tip of his nose a little uncomfortably, "Yeah. I also recorded it myself to practice speaking."
Jiang Suchu saw a lot of audio files on his phone and asked him, "Did you record all of these yourself?"
Lu Zhinian nodded, "I like to watch some American dramas and short films. When I see lines that I think are good, I will try to read them myself, and then record them and listen to them."
This is how he has been practicing his pronunciation.
Jiang Suchu was shocked.
She glanced at Lu Zhinian, suddenly thought of something, and said, "Can you send me what you recorded? I want to use it as listening practice."
She found that she really liked the sound of Lu Zhinian speaking English, and she was completely immersed in the paragraph just now.
Lu Zhinian originally played it to her to give her a sense of language experience. When he heard her say this, he thought for a while and said, "These were all recorded a long time ago, and some of them were not very clear."
He put down the pen, propped his head with one hand and looked at her: "Let's do this. I will record a new section and send it to you every day. You go back to the dormitory to listen to it at night, and then come here to read it again at noon, and I will help you correct your mistakes."
Jiang Suichu pursed his lower lip and said, "Will this delay your study? Don't you want to compete?"
Lu Zhinian said: "No, the foundation of programming is to be good at English. I just want to help you correct your mistakes, and I will review it by the way."
Hearing what he said, Jiang Suchu felt relieved.
She looked at him with arched eyebrows and stretched out her hand: "Then please take care of Teacher Lu in the future."
Lu Zhinian looked at the little hand in front of him, curled his lips, stretched out his hand to hold hers, shook it up and down gently and said.
"You're welcome."
