the world in which he exists

"Beep beep..."

A battery car drove by on the concrete aisle of the small community, and the advertising paper on the electric pole standing on the roadside was mottled and mottled after many days of wind and rain.The old man who took his granddaughter for a walk on the side of the road gave way, and the bird that stayed on the wire looked down at the battery car passing by the aisle of the community from a height.

"Why are you going out so late?" A woman stopped the battery car.

"Mom, I have something to do." The boy rode a battery car around the woman and walked away.

The sky outside the window is getting darker, the strong sunset has receded, and it is in the transition zone between evening and night, and the stars are flashing in the sky early.

The nagging of the women downstairs who thought their son was disobedient came vaguely through the window.

The fire on the kitchen stove was jumping, and the soup in the pot was boiling, bubbling and bubbling.

Gu Chaoming opened the cupboard and took out a soup bowl.

The nagging voices of the women downstairs faded away, and one could tell who it was and whose mother it was.

Gu Chaoming had fought with him when he was a child, but after the fight, he never had any contact with him again.Gu Chaoming had a wild personality, and it was the same when he was a child. He fought with several people by himself, but he won the fight. As a result, the parents of the people came to the house to complain.

Gu Chaoming didn't pay attention to the voices downstairs fading away, and walked towards the living room with the prepared soup.

The soup bowl was hot, so Gu Chaoming carefully placed the soup bowl on the tea table and filled it with another bowl of rice.

The phone on the coffee table beeped.

Gu Chaoming took out a pair of chopsticks from the chopsticks basket, took the rice bowl and walked to the tea table without haste, sat on the sofa and glanced at the phone.

It was Lin Jianfan's message.

Asking Lin Jianfan to help him with tutoring, Gu Chaoming took the initiative to add Lin Jianfan's contact information the next day to facilitate discussion.

"How do you think you did in the exam today?" Lin Jianfan asked.

Gu Chaoming looked at the message sent by Lin Jianfan and smiled. This was the first time that Lin Jianfan sent him a message since he was a good friend of Lin Jianfan. In the past, he used to ask him questions by himself. Job information.

"Okay."

Gu Chaoming pretended to be ok, but in fact he felt light and uncertain, as if he was standing on the shore and didn't know how deep the sea was.

The exam time was a bit tight for Cen Xili, but for Gu Chaoming, there was a lot of time left to stare at the questions he couldn't do.Gu Chaoming first finished all the questions he could do, and in the rest of the time, he looked at which questions on the test paper looked like "you can do it".

In the past, I wrote my name on a test paper, looked at the multiple-choice questions in front of me, and took a pen to do it if I came across one who could do it, and then looked at the back, if I didn’t know how to do it, let it go. Several answers.

This time Gu Chaoming wrote the quiz completely by himself, every word and every symbol is the output of his own brain.Do your best to do one more question is one more question.Some of them were scribbled, and the process and answers were not well remembered, and Gu Chaoming couldn't estimate the correct rate.After the exam, I felt like I was on a roller coaster. For a while, I felt that I did well in the exam, and for a while, I felt that what I wrote was rubbish, and it must be wrong.

Uneasy, it only took one day for the teacher to correct the paper, but Gu Chaoming, who had a roller coaster in his heart, felt that it had been a long time.

The teacher notified the class representatives in advance to come to the office to pick up the papers before class was held the next day.Seeing the class representative walking through the corridor with a pile of white papers, Gu Chaoming suddenly felt that he was not as nervous as yesterday.

No matter how nervous you are, the results have already been settled.

Gu Chaoming successfully experienced the anticipation and tension of the students in the class he wanted to try when the monthly exam results were announced last time.

I'm afraid he is the only one who is looking forward to the test results so much. Gu Chaoming looks at the other students in the class, they are all doing their own things in a normal way, which is not the way of expecting the test results during the monthly exam at all.

After all, the monthly exam is also a big exam. This time it is just a small class test, but for Gu Chaoming, it is the first test of his learning achievements during this period.

"Take it easy, Gu Shuai." Su Bingfan sat on the seat in front of Gu Chaoming's desk, playing with the fountain pen on Gu Chaoming's desk between his fingers.

Gu Chaoming wiped his nose unconsciously and shook his head: "I'm so nervous."

Hearing what he said, Su Bing lowered his head and suppressed a smile, and said that he was not nervous. It was unknown who had been staring at the class representative in the corridor who was taking papers.

"Okay, don't be nervous, don't be nervous, we Gu Shuai must have become a top student after working so hard these days." Su Bing said.

"Don't talk nonsense, I've only been studying for a few days, and you just want to laugh at me."

Su Bing said exaggeratedly with a smile: "I don't want to laugh at you anymore. I have always respected you warriors who dare to challenge learning."

"Xili is a fighting warrior. I'm afraid I will be a soldier who will hang the white flag in the future." Gu Chaoming sighed.

Su Bing persuaded Gu Chaoming: "Gu Shuai, everyone calls you Gu Shuai, don't be so negative, you are a general."

Gu Chaoming smiled crookedly: "Isn't it because of my good looks that Gu Shuai is handsome? Why did you change to general?"

Su Bing said "Huh" with a look of disgust.

The class representative on the podium began to hand out the test papers, watching the test papers with red scores handed out from the class representative, the tension that Gu Chaoming had calmed down suddenly broke out again.

Gu Chaoming watched the class representative distribute the test papers, and said to Su Bing, "I'll tell you the truth, I'm really a little nervous."

"I don't think it's a little bit, your eyes are staring straight at the paper." Su Bing said.

Su Bingyi said, and Gu Chaoming took his gaze back from staring at the test paper: "Go away, don't exaggerate here. But I don't think everyone in our class is very nervous, and I feel that I am the only one who is nervous."

Su Bing looked around and looked at the students who Gu Chaoming said were not nervous: "They just didn't show it. They must be nervous, but maybe not as nervous as you."

If you work hard, you will expect to gain something. Su Bing knows it all, but he has just started working hard, and the gains should not be great. Moreover, Gu Chaoming's previous test results were all plagiarized. Now that he does it by himself, it is not impossible to score lower than before.

"Why do I feel more and more that I didn't do well in the exam." Watching the class representative distribute the papers, Gu Chaoming faintly felt some uneasiness approaching.

"Also said that I was nagging, you talk more than me today, don't be crowed." Su Bing said.

As soon as Su Bing finished speaking, Gu Chaoming's words became a prophecy.

Lin Jianfan came over with Gu Chaoming's test paper.

The hand that had helped Gu Chaoming pick up the leaflets carefully placed the test paper with the traces of Gu Chaoming's struggle in the two classes yesterday on Gu Chaoming's desk.

"Take your time." Lin Jianfan advised Gu Chaoming.

After hearing Lin Jianfan's words "take your time", and seeing the expression on Gu Chaoming's face, Su Bing lowered his gaze to the scores on the test paper.

A wild twenty stops in the score column.

Oh hoo, this is really a crow's mouth.

Su Bing saw that the score was lower than before, as he thought, and looked at Gu Chaoming again worriedly.

I was afraid that Gu Chaoming would be discouraged when he saw unsatisfactory scores after working so hard during this time, and would become the white flag general he just mentioned, but Gu Chaoming only looked at the results for a few times, and laughed when he heard Lin Jianfan say "take your time". : "Okay, isn't that good, the requirements can't be so high."

Lin Jianfan stared at Gu Chaoming, and raised the corner of his mouth slightly when he heard Gu Chaoming's answer.

When the class representative was distributing the test papers, Lin Jianfan looked in Gu Chaoming's direction and found that Gu Chaoming was chatting with Su Bing. he.

The class representative agreed without hesitation, and rummaged through the many test papers.

"Hey, I found it." The class representative took out Gu Chaoming's paper and another paper, "By the way, take out yours too."

The two test papers overlapped, and the class representative looked at Gu Chaoming's scores: "It will be sad if you study hard and get fewer scores."

Lin Jianfan took his and Gu Chaoming's test papers from the class representative, and when he saw Gu Chaoming's scores, he had the same worry as the class representative.

The class representative added: "But judging by his optimistic personality, he won't be depressed for long."

The two-digit and three-digit papers are sandwiched together, and the contrast is a bit tragic.Lin Jianfan folded his test paper and put it on the desk, and walked towards Gu Chaoming with Gu Chaoming's paper.

During the short distance, Lin Jianfan hesitated how to comfort Gu Chaoming.

After thinking about it all the way, I finally said only three words - take your time.

Gu Chaoming did not have the disappointment and discouragement that Lin Jianfan imagined. The words "take your time" were exchanged for Gu Chaoming's smile and "can't ask too much".

After working so hard for so long, there must be some small expectations of his own. Under Gu Chaoming's smile, there must still be a little bit of disappointment, Lin Jianfan thought.

It's not that you are smiling on your face, and saying it's okay on your mouth, it means that you are truly happy in your heart.

Lin saw Fan staring at Gu Chaoming teasing his [-]-point smile, and Su Bing kept quiet when he was supposed to speak.

Su Bing secretly watched Lin Jianfan who was looking at Gu Chaoming without saying a word.

Some people say that love cannot be obtained through hard work, and Gu Chaoming thinks that "study is also the same" should be added later.

Seeing the score of [-] points, it would be false to say that he didn't care at all, and there must be a gap in his heart, but Gu Chaoming didn't say it.

Twenty points is twenty points, and always expressing your loss to others will not change anything.

His own test scores are not as good as the scores from Cen Xili's test papers that he randomly copied before. Gu Chaoming also guessed it, and felt that the possibility was very high.Cen Xili was in the top ten of their class and never dropped out. In the last monthly exam, many people regressed, but Cen Xili continued to rise steadily. The top ten papers copied by himself must be higher than the slightest score he wrote.

Already had a very strong premonition, but Gu Chaoming still took a small chance to get a good score in the test, but the reality told him what is skinny.

Lying on the bed last night guessing his score, Gu Chaoming thought of the little girl his mother said could speak English in kindergarten, and he might not even be able to match her.Gu Chaoming thought of himself who copied Cen Xili's test paper at the end of the previous exam, and wondered why he didn't copy the score higher when he went to the new home, or lied about the score when the man asked him?

As soon as this idea popped up, Gu Chaoming himself felt panicked.

Lying, is my head full of lies?Will he be like Gu Tao next time, lying a lot and having a bad temper?

Gu Chaoming was afraid, afraid that he would become more and more like Gu Tao.

He is most afraid of hearing others say "Dragon begets dragon, phoenix begets phoenix, the son of a mouse can make holes", as if he is talking about himself, he can never change, he can't change Gu Tao's genes flowing in his body.

As soon as the idea of ​​lying appeared, Gu Chaoming immediately denied it. He didn't want to be like Gu Tao.

He smiled and said, "The requirements cannot be so high."

You have just started to learn, and you don't have the brain to master it quickly. You can't rush, you have to take your time.

Gu Chaoming persuaded himself that he had just started, and it was normal for him to fail the exam.

What I need is not the drive to move forward bravely, but to slow down and wait.Waiting for the training of time and the accumulation of knowledge, let them all become the stepping stones to success.Waiting is not easy, waiting is always anxious, boring, and tiring.

Gu Chaoming didn't know how Cen Xili persisted. He went from comforting Cen Xili who didn't pass the exam to being comforted by others when he didn't pass the exam. Gu Chaoming thought that he had a living example of Cen Xili around him, and he couldn't give up.

Giving up is the real defeat, loss and hesitation are just a short rest.

After eating an apple on the sofa, Gu Chaoming guided himself, and after thinking about it, he threw the finished apple into the trash can, washed his hands and continued to study in the bedroom.

There is the mint candy given by Su Bing when he is out of school, and the desk lamp illuminates a small piece of world on the desk.

Lin saw that the homework notebook that Fan helped to copy every day stood on the table, and the handwriting on the pages was neat.When Gu Chaoming completed one item, he would put a tick next to that item, and hand it back to Lin Jianfan the next day after ticking everything off.

In fact, this homework record book is meaningless. It is impossible for Gu Chaoming to start studying hard without completing his homework seriously. Gu Chaoming thinks it is the most basic, but Lin Jianfan is still copying for him, so he can save a little effort. .

Besides, after finishing all the homework with great effort, it is also very soothing to be able to vent your fatigue in the family notebook.

When school was about to leave in the afternoon, Lin Jianfan handed him not only the usual homework notebook, but also a knowledge manual.

"I think you should use this." Lin Jianfan said.

Gu Chaoming thanked him, took it and stuffed it into his schoolbag, and only took it out to read when he was doing homework.

The booklet is small, with Lin Jianfan marking important knowledge points with colored highlighters.In addition to marking important knowledge points, there are also various knowledge points and difficult experiences added by Lin Jianfan in the booklet. Almost every page is marked by Lin Jianfan.

Gu Chaoming flipped through and finally found a place where Lin Jianfan wrote a typo with a cross. Gu Chaoming smiled slightly. It turned out that Lin Jianfan also made typos.Lin Jianfan's daily notes are too neat, making Gu Chaoming grab a crossed place is like grabbing Lin Jianfan's little tail, and he can't help laughing at him.

Flipping through the manual given by Lin Jianfan, the phone beeped on the bed.

Gu Chaoming took a look at the phone.

"Gu Shuai, aren't you working part-time today?" Su Bing asked.

Gu Chaoming simply replied with one word: "Yes".

Su Bing: "Is your father at home?"

Gu Chaoming replied to Lin Jianfan at the place where Lin Jianfan crossed it: "Finally found a place where you made a mistake. I thought the first grade would never make a typo."

After replying, he thought about the need to return this knowledge manual to Lin Jianfan, he couldn't see it, so he copied it again in the family record book that he had to give to Lin Jianfan tomorrow.

The phone kept vibrating, and Gu Chaoming picked up the phone to call back Su Bing after he finished copying.

"My dad is not at home." Gu Chaoming said.

Su Bing: "It's fine if you're not at home, come out for supper."

"Why did you suddenly eat supper?" Gu Chaoming asked.

"Come out, Xi Li has come out."

Can Su Bing call Cen Xili out?This is strange.One must know that since the incident last time, Cen Xili's family did not allow Cen Xili to run around or contact his friends indiscriminately, so as to prevent others from talking nonsense, which is simply pathological management.

Gu Chaoming asked: "Did Xi Li come out? How did you get him out?"

"Stop talking, come down, I'm downstairs in your house, it's pitch black, if you don't come down, people will think I'm a thief, just now when an old lady looked at me, I'm afraid she'll catch me and call 110 .”

Gu Chaoming: "If you didn't tell me earlier, come up, and I'll open the door for you."

Su Bing: "I'm afraid that your father will be here. I won't go up. Come down quickly. I'll treat you to supper."
