Excessive exposure

The sun is scorching hot, and the noise of cicadas is annoying.

The students of City No. [-] Middle School are taking the monthly exam once a month.

The weather is uncomfortably hot, and the giant three-leaf fan above the head has been adjusted to the highest gear, but it still can't solve any problems.

While brushing like flying pens on the test papers, the students pulled and fanned their collars with their hands, coveting the little cool breeze.

They had to do the questions quietly in such weather, and the students frowned tightly, wishing they could finish writing the test papers in the next second and be liberated.

And someone sitting in the back seat didn't seem to have such urgent thoughts.

The tip of the pen just rested on option A of a multiple-choice question, and the carbon ink was smudged, following the fibers on the paper, expanding and extending to the end, gradually dyeing a cloud from a black ice flower.

The owner of the pen did not move for a long time. He propped his head on his left hand and tilted his head to the side. His eyes drooped slightly, as if he was dozing off. On the boy at the wall.

The boy lowered his head, closed his eyes, and pursed his lips tightly. The right hand holding the pen slowly slid on the draft paper. A drop of sweat dripped on the draft paper. He raised his hand and wiped his forehead impatiently.

On the top of the wall on the right side of the blackboard, there is a big round clock hanging, the second hand is turning "click, click". If you listen carefully, you can hear the regular sound, knocking on the hearts of all the candidates in the examination room.

15 minutes left.

Two invigilators walked around the classroom shaking their fans. One of them raised his wrist and looked at his watch, with a relaxed expression on his face, and his brows finally eased: "There are 10 minutes left, I haven't finished yet." Classmates, hurry up and check carefully when you are done."

The temperature in the classroom suddenly became higher, and there was the sound of the test paper being flipped.

Shi Annan still didn't move, as if the teacher's reminder and the restlessness of the students around him had nothing to do with him.

The invigilator walked past him, and he happened to glance at his clean test paper from the corner of the eye, with a surprised expression on his face, which was too... If I remember correctly, he should be in Class Six, and his grades are not too bad, why? So many topics will be left blank.

However, there was no panic expression on his face, he was so calm that he didn't seem to be in a tense examination room.

The invigilator opened his mouth, and suddenly remembered the other teachers' evaluation of this student, and finally just gave him a complicated look, and walked away.

The bell for the end of the exam finally rang. Some students began to sort out the test papers, some rushed to catch up with the questions, and some rushed out of the classroom without looking back.But Shi Annan still sat on his seat without moving, his eyes remained on the boy he was paying attention to, watching him desperately trying to catch up with the questions at the last moment, watching the test paper in his hand being ruthlessly taken away by the teacher, watching He was full of panic and uneasiness, and his eyes were red and about to shed tears.

And... those trembling hands that have nowhere to rest...

The boy lowered his head and walked out of the classroom with stationery.Only then did Shi Annan stand up with one hand on the table, and was about to walk towards the other party.

"Student, you didn't write your name, class, or student number!" The teacher who collected the paper impatiently pointed at the dividing line on the left side of the paper with his index finger.

Shi Annan turned his head and saw that there was a blank space outside the sealing line. He glanced at the boy who had already left the classroom door. He quickly took out a pen and filled in the three blank spaces, and quickly chased him out.

……

Zhou Bingwen's footsteps were heavy, and he went down to the first floor weakly. Just after passing the sink at the corner, he was stopped by someone.

"Why do you look unhappy, you failed the exam?"

Zhou Bingwen raised his head, and the other party was turning the faucet with one hand, his face and hair were covered with water droplets, his indistinguishable handsome face was like a mirror in water and the moon in water, both real and illusory, all the boys and girls passing by stopped their eyes on him Even one of them has gone a long way, but still refuses to turn his head back.

Zhou Bingwen was still a little unaccustomed to his extremely lethal appearance, his eyebrows and eyes drooped unnaturally, and he only dared to stare at the yellow tiles in the sink that were corroded by water stains: "I didn't pass the exam..." His voice was extremely low , was drowned out by the surrounding noise.

Shi Annan heard it very clearly, he took two steps forward and stood in front of Zhou Bingwen: "I didn't pass the exam this time, try harder next time."

"Hmm..." Zhou Bingwen responded softly, forcing a smile.

"Don't always put so much pressure on yourself." Shi Annan patted him on the shoulder, and handed him the half-drinked iced tea: "Drink some?"

Zhou Bingwen was still very happy with his comfort. He took the bottle, and the cold touch finally relieved the heat in his body. , slowly fell down.

Shi Annan's eyes sank slightly, and his thin lips pressed down, and soon returned to their usual curvature.

"Thank you." Zhou Bingwen handed the bottle back in embarrassment.

Shi Annan didn't answer, "Drink it, I just drank too much, my stomach is a bit bloated."

"Oh, then...thank you." Zhou Bingwen held the bottle with his right hand, and his hand was covered with icy water vapor. His hand soon became cold, so he had to change his hand.

Shi Annan looked at his moving hands with lowered eyes without moving, and said casually: "The next two days will be a holiday, where do you plan to go?"

"Play?" Zhou Bingwen smiled awkwardly: "My grades are so poor, I'd better do two more sets of papers, and stop going out to play."

Shi Annan frowned, he wanted to say that it is better to combine work and rest in learning this kind of thing, but he knew better that the other party would not listen to it.Although Zhou Bingwen's personality is very soft, but the things he believes will never change, no matter what he says, it won't help.

"You really love studying." Shi Annan said in his heart: Apart from studying, he can't pretend to do anything else.

Zhou Bingwen said helplessly: "I'm a student. Besides, if I don't study hard, I will feel sorry for my mother, father, and Brother Yuze." In class ten, I worked hard for half a semester, and the expected goal was to enter class five, but judging from the test results of these two days, whether I could enter class seven was a problem.

"I remember you said that you want to get into Class Five in the midterm exam?" Shi Annan asked him.

Zhou Bingwen blushed and was extremely embarrassed. He suddenly regretted that Shi Annan had told him his arrogant thoughts before when he asked him. Now that he is fine, he will be slapped in the face soon. How could his grades be admitted to the fifth class? ?He will definitely be laughed at by then.

Whoever makes himself overwhelmed thinks that as long as he studies harder, his grades will improve quickly. This kind of backward and ignorant cognition is not established in this middle school.

Since entering this school, he has only known what it means to be beyond the heavens and the people beyond the sky. Compared with someone like him who only knows how to improve his grades by relying on tactics of question seas all night long, the students in this school have higher grades and spend more time on their studies. less time.

It is said that many students in Class [-] only need to finish the exercises assigned by the teacher. After school, they almost go to participate in various activities, and they do not feel nervous as high school students at all.

Zhou Bingwen still remembers that in his hometown school, as a top student, he endorsed and worked day and night, becoming a role model for the whole school and even the whole county, making him think that all the students in the world are like this.

Sure enough, I still don't know much.

"Keep working harder next time." Seeing his unnatural expression, Shi Annan directly changed the subject: "After today's exam, let's relax and go to a movie tonight?"

Zhou Bingwen was startled, a little moved, and he was really tired after studying for two months, but... the thought of the unsatisfactory results...

"Go ahead. I'm bored by myself. My friend gave me two coupons. If you don't use them, it's a waste." Shi Annan took out two coupons from his pocket, took out one and handed it to him: "Take it well, don't lose it." Yes, it’s 80 yuan a piece.”

80 yuan is worse than drizzle for Shi Annan, but it is different for Zhou Bingwen. Although his current family background is not bad, but he grew up in a remote county and town, and some deep-rooted concepts of diligence and thrift can’t be changed in a day or two. It can be changed, 80 yuan is already very expensive for him.

Facing Shi Annan's dominance, he couldn't even say a word of refusal. After taking the movie ticket at a loss, he realized that it was hot: "This, it's not very good... No, it's too expensive... "

Shi Annan shrugged indifferently: "I won't go if no one will accompany me, you should lose the coupon."

"No, no, don't be angry..." Zhou Bingwen looked at the beautifully designed exchange coupon in his hand, and said cruelly: "I'll go with you."

Shi Annan hooked her lips: "Okay then, go back to the classroom to pack things first, and then we'll go have dinner together." After finishing speaking, he walked towards the opposite teaching building on his slender legs.

"Oh, okay." Zhou Bingwen carefully put the exchange voucher in his pocket, thinking that Shi Annan invited him to watch such an expensive movie, and he should have something to say: "Then let me treat you to dinner, what do you want to eat?" ?” The opponent had long legs and was so tall that Zhou Bingwen had to speed up his pace to keep up.

Shi Annan turned around and looked back at his up-looking face slightly, with a hint of meaning in his eyes: "You know, there is something about your character that I like very much."

Zhou Bingwen hurriedly asked, "What is it?"

Shi Annan said: "Etiquette is always reciprocated, what goes back and what is returned."

Zhou Bingwen looked at him suspiciously, but Shi Annan just smiled and continued walking towards the teaching building.
