Excessive exposure

The English test questions on the second day were particularly difficult. I heard that even the students in Class [-] and [-] were shaking their heads.

Zhou Bingwen was a little confused after handing in the test papers. How happy he was in the math test yesterday afternoon, how sad he was in the English test this morning.

"What, did you get stupid in the exam?" A male student in the same class patted him on the shoulder.

Zhou Bingwen said dejectedly: "It's too difficult, how about you?"

The classmate pointed to the students with ashen faces, who looked like walking corpses, and said, "Look, everyone is the same, what's so sad, haha..."

Zhou Bingwen's mouth twitched, not knowing what to say.

The male student said in an indifferent, even a bit gloating tone: "Fortunately, my English is poor, and I feel that I have made a lot of money. Let's go and eat."

Zhou Bingwen did not follow, he and Tang Leyou made an appointment to have dinner together at noon.When he talked about this with Shi Annan in the morning, the other party didn't show anything, but Zhou Bingwen knew that he was unhappy, but it was not as obvious as before.

Obviously, the promise to go to Italy last night was enough to cheer him up.

Thinking of this, Zhou Bingwen couldn't help recalling what happened at Shi's house last night. Shi Annan's expressionless expression was still clearly in his mind, what did it look like?Zhou Bingwen thought about it for a long time, until he saw the statue in the school flower bed. He was really like a plaster statue in the cold light.

Under the incandescent lamp, in the clear glass cover, there is a plaster statue that is too white to be stained with dust, stiff and temperatureless.

But even if he is like this, Zhou Bingwen is still reluctant, and is still willing to stay by his side, like a grass that gets used to the soil and will wither when moved away.

I have relied too much on him recently, Zhou Bingwen thinks so.

"Brother Bingwen, let's go to eat." Tang Leyou's examination room was Class [-], just opposite Zhou Bingwen. When he left the classroom, he saw Zhou Bingwen lying on the railing and shouted at him.

Zhou Bingwen came back to his senses and hurried towards him.

The two met at the stairs, Tang Leyou still had a smile on his face as always, as if the English test just now had no effect on him at all: "Brother Bingwen, what do you want to eat?"

"Look at you, I'm not in the mood to eat anymore, the English test is too bad." Zhou Bingwen said weakly.Seeing Tang Leyou's energetic appearance, he was envious.He has always known that Tang Leyou's English is so good that he can get full marks every time if he doesn't have to deduct points for his composition.

"It's okay, this is the first monthly exam, don't take it too seriously." Tang Leyou comforted him sincerely.

"How do you do your reading comprehension? I think every option is the same. Words like on, in, and at don't make any difference in the context."

"You want to hear it?"

"I want to, I really want to know, just tell me."

"Then let's talk as we go." So Tang Leyou started from the first multiple-choice question.

Zhou Bingwen was stunned. Tang Leyou not only recited the whole reading comprehension, but also memorized the options for each question. He analyzed why he chose that option one by one. At the end, Zhou Bingwen even forgot to close his mouth: "You You ...You are too powerful..."

"Because it's easy to remember after doing the questions, but I will still forget them after a long time. Most of the students in our class can do it." Tang Leyou took it for granted.

Zhou Bingwen once again felt the gap with a group of student gods.

While he was in a trance, Tang Leyou led him into the restaurant and ordered food.

"Bingwen brother, let's sit there." Tang Leyou found an empty seat by the window, and after taking his seat, he said to him, "I wanted to tell you last night, but I'm afraid it will affect your exam, so I will wait until noon today." tell you."

"Well, tell me."

"It's a super good thing, hehe!" Tang Leyou said to him mysteriously: "If I said last night that you can't sleep well, isn't the National Day coming soon? My dad said you study too hard. He looked at you I feel distressed, he asked us to go out to play, all the expenses will be reimbursed, where do you want to go, is there anything you want to buy?"

"What did uncle say?" Zhou Bingwen didn't expect his uncle to care about him so much. He was obviously just a foreigner, but he never ignored him.When he first came to the Tang family, the uncle was the first to show his affection to him.The rest of the Tang family were also very kind to him. When he first came here, everyone gave him gifts. This new home made him feel very warm. Although these family members have not seen each other all year round, they are reassuring.

"It's what my dad said. It can be done at home or abroad. Is there any place you want to go?"

He failed the English test, so he didn't even want to move, let alone play.Besides, he only agreed to Shi Annan last night.

Seeing him hanging his head in thought, Tang Leyou thought he was thinking about where to go, so he said on his own: "Originally, Dad planned to tell you face to face, but suddenly there was a meeting going to Singapore, so let me tell you, we Do you want to go to Japan, a lot of new games have been released recently, I really want to buy them?"

"Thank you very much, uncle. I'll call him later to thank him."

"What's there to thank, even if he doesn't say it, I still want to take you out to play."

"But, that..."

"what's wrong?"

"Shi Annan asked me to go to Italy, and I agreed..." Zhou Bingwen looked at him apologetically.

"What!" Tang Leyou turned up the volume in disbelief: "Why?"

"He has helped me with my homework for so long, and he got a lot of math problems right yesterday. I want to thank him, so he let me accompany him to Italy." Zhou Bingwen explained briefly.

"Why!" Tang Leyou still didn't understand why he asked you to go to Italy with him, why are you so close? You told me that he helped you with your homework, and it was my brother who asked him to take care of you, I believe Yes, but why do I want to travel with you!"

Zhou Bingwen was so asked that he didn't know how to answer, why couldn't he go on a trip with Shi Annan?

"Is there something wrong?" Zhou Bingwen was a little unhappy when he said that.

"Of course not!" Tang Leyou angrily began to list Shi Annan's bad deeds: "He never played with others. When he was young, he would play with me and my brother. Others simply ignored him. The older he got, the more withdrawn he became. I really hate having physical contact with people, let alone traveling with them. Does he have any plans for you? Think about it carefully, is there anything wrong with him? "

Zhou Bingwen heard him say this to Shi Annan many times, but he didn't open his mouth every time, but this time he couldn't help but reply: "Don't think of him like that, he's actually pretty good, really."

"That's not it, he's such a fart, have you been tricked by him, he is super domineering and unreasonable, super dark."

He agrees with being domineering and unreasonable. Zhou Bingwen felt very uncomfortable with the word dark. Where Shi Annan was dark, he immediately defended: "Don't speak ill of him behind his back. It's not good, he is not dark at all."

Tang Leyou looked at him unreasonably: "I dare to say that in front of him, and it's not that I haven't said it before. I've known him for so many years, and he hasn't invited me to play anywhere. It's really annoying. I'm super bad!"

"Eh..." Zhou Bingwen felt sorry for him when he saw his angry appearance. After getting along these days, Shi Annan's attitude towards Tang Leyou was indeed quite bad. No wonder the two quarreled when they met.In fact, if you think about it carefully, Youyou has a very good personality. Not only is he loved by the elders in the family, but he also has a very good relationship with teachers and classmates at school. He is like a warm little sun and is very helpful. Everyone loves to play with him.

"Don't be angry."

Tang Leyou's face was puffed up, and he was crying as he spoke: "I was very good to him when I was a child. When I saw that other children didn't play with him, I took the initiative to find him with toys, and I kept anything delicious for him. One, he has always been ignorant of it, and has never given me a piece of candy so far. He was sick when he was a child, and no one knew about it when he was alone in the villa. I found out, and then asked my brother to carry him out. I went to the hospital, I brought him food every day, and watched cartoons with him in case he was bored, he didn’t even say thank you.”

Zhou Bingwen couldn't believe it when he heard it: "Is this all true?"

"Of course it's true. What did I lie to you for? He has been so cold-blooded since he was a child!" Tang Leyou said with disgust.

Zhou Bingwen only heard his classmates talk about him in school, and this is the first time he knew that he was like this when he was a child. When he felt sorry for Tang Leyou, he also felt sorry for Shi Annan: "Did something happen to him when he was young? I have never met his parents when I went to his house, and I have never heard him mention it."

Tang Leyou said: "Even I haven't met his parents a few times. I heard that his parents have a bad reputation." As he spoke, he pulled Zhou Bingwen and whispered: "I heard this from the elders in my family. Don't talk to me about it." Others say that it is not allowed to mention it in front of him."

Zhou Bingwen nodded again and again: "Definitely not."

"Actually, I asked my brother before why Shi Annan was like that. Think about it, children have similar personalities, love to play and eat, and have endless things to say, but he is different. It looks like an ice sculpture. My brother told me that when Shi Annan was young, he was actually like an ordinary child. Since he went to his grandpa's house and came back, he has become like this."

At this time, Tang Leyou's food was served, but Zhou Bingwen didn't feel like eating it. It was the first time he heard about Shi Annan's childhood, and he was very curious, especially when Tang Leyou said that he had become taciturn after returning from his grandfather's house. He ignored people, and he wanted to know the reason even more.

"Did he experience anything at his grandpa's house?"

Tang Leyou shook his head while eating: "I asked my brother, and my brother said he didn't know, so I ran to ask Shi Annan, and he gave me two supercilious looks, I feel angry when I think about it."

This is indeed his style.

Tang Leyou sighed, and said: "I can't finish talking about his shortcomings all day and night, but when something really happened, he was very good to me. At that time, I was 10 years old and I was short in junior high school. I got the first grade in a monthly exam. The teacher liked me very much. Many people were not convinced, so they wanted to punish me. After school, they blocked me in an alley and beat me up. There was no one, so I had no choice but to find Shi Annan, and I cried with him for a while, but I didn't expect him to avenge me, but the next day, it was too exaggerated, and those guys were beaten to the hospital. Tian came to school in a wheelchair to apologize to me, with bandages all over his body."

Zhou Bingwen has heard many classmates talk about this matter, and the versions are still different. This time, Tang Leyou, the party involved, feels that it is not new, but he still can't help imagining the scene at that time in his mind.

Tang Leyou laughed while talking: "You know, Shi Annan was very funny at that time, he said that he had to kneel down to apologize for doing something wrong in the movie, so he insisted on those guys kneeling for me, you don't know Those guys were all fractured, their noses and tears were covered with pain, and they were lifted down to kneel abruptly."

Zhou Bingwen suddenly remembered the scene of Yang Jiajie kneeling that day. It is estimated that Yang Jiajie had no choice but to kneel after hearing about this incident.

"After that incident, he became very imposing. Many people at school detoured when they saw him." Tang Leyou sighed and said, "Every time I think of this incident, I can grit my teeth and endure his bad temper."

Zhou Bingwen smiled: "His personality is probably cold-faced and warm-hearted."

Tang Leyou rolled his eyes, and resolutely vetoed: "That's not true. He does things based on his mood. When he is happy, he will barely talk to you. When he is unhappy, he is completely a ticking time bomb."

Zhou Bingwen didn't know what to say, Youyou had too much prejudice against Shi Annan, and it was difficult to change.

At this time, he didn't even realize that he was completely on Shi Annan's side, thinking about everything from Shi Annan's perspective.

Fortunately, Tang Leyou also knew that Zhou Bingwen was a quiet character, so he didn't care about his silence, and continued to say what he wanted to say: "I don't care, are you going to abandon me for Shi Annan? I'm your brother... "

Looking at his sad eyes, Zhou Bingwen couldn't stand his pitiful appearance, and couldn't make a decision for a while.

"You and Shi Annan went to Italy happily, and I was doing my homework and watching TV at home by myself...do you have the heart?"

Zhou Bingwen took a brief look at Shi Annan's travel plan, and only arranged for two people, because there was only one room booked, and with Shi Annan's personality, he might not be happy to have one more person.But it's really pitiful for Youyou to be alone at home: "Then, let me go and talk to him..." He completely forgot that Tang Leyou could hang out with his classmates.

"Actually, I'm worried about you. You go abroad with him alone. Who knows what he thinks. I always feel that he treats you strangely." Tang Leyou paused for a while and said, "He treats you too well. I thought about it carefully just now, it's very strange, why does a person like him treat you so well?"
