love you like a song

In the evening, the temperature of the weather had not yet dropped, and the fans in the classroom were whirling. Gu Nan was holding the list while looking at the children in front of him.

"The game against Germany in a few weeks, Li Yan, how are you preparing?"

"... Teacher, sorry, I happen to have something to do in a few weeks." The boy lowered his head.

"what's up?"

He faltered. "...I...my brother is going abroad. When he was on the plane, it happened to be the time to start the competition. Our whole family had to send him off..."

"...Is that so."

"……kindness."

These disciples seem to think that she doesn't pay attention to them at all.Gu Nan thought mockingly in his heart, now that brother Li Yan is abroad, how many 'brothers' can he make up?

It's just that she doesn't want to compete, and she also knows the reason why she is afraid of competing.

Gu Nan is usually not an aggressive person. The boy's lies are so obvious. According to her temperament, she would not pick up the conversation or expose it, but...

Gu Nan felt as if there was an extremely compressed gas in her chest, clamoring to break through everything and explode completely.She squeezed the list in her hand.

"...Is failure really terrible?"

"What...?" Li Yan was stunned.

Gu Nan said with a sigh. "Failure, failure after failure, is it really that terrible?"

Li Yan was silent.

Gu Nan laughed at himself and answered for the 19-year-old boy.

"It was me who asked a stupid question...failure is not scary, failure once is not scary, failure after failure is not scary, the most terrible thing is...failure after failure, Li Yan, you Right?"

Li Yan clenched his fists and buried his head without saying a word. After an unknown amount of time, he suddenly bowed deeply to Gu Nan, picked up the schoolbag on the table, turned around and left.

Just before Li Yan was about to step out of the classroom, Gu Nan's emotionless voice came from behind again. "...You left, Shi Qing is the only one left in that team..."

"……sorry."

Gu Nan was silent for a while, then said again. "Then I said this is an order from the team?"

In other words, if you don't participate, it will be regarded as unorganized and undisciplined, and you will be expelled from the National Youth Chemistry Team?

Li Yan turned his back to Gu Nan, shook his right hand grasping the strap of his schoolbag, and pinched his left hand tightly on the eaves of the door, gritted his teeth and said.

"Teacher, you are wrong. Never-ending failure is not scary. The most frightening thing is never-ending... and failure with great disparity in strength. I... I used to want to catch up with those people, and I also wanted to catch up with them... …but……"

Li Yan's voice was involuntarily choked and trembling, and he said while holding back his sobs.

"Teacher, I'm sorry, I just want to try my best to compete in every competition in China. I like chemistry, and I also want to stay in the Academy of Sciences as a chemist, but...but the competition I want to compare now is...only Our country's chemistry competition."

"I don't want to compete against European players anymore, please...please go find those juniors who are still looking forward to beating European players."

Li Yan knew that although Gu Nan was cold, he was definitely a gentle person, so he dared to speak like this, because he knew that Gu Nan would never give up on any student who wanted to learn chemistry...

As long as he says "I still want to study chemistry" and sticks to the belief that "I never want to participate in the match with the German team", Gu Nan...even if the teacher treats him indifferently afterwards, he will never be angry Just kick him out of the team...

He even found a reason for him to be absent that day.

Just because he also likes chemistry.

The teacher is such a gentle person.

After finishing speaking, Li Yan staggered and ran out as if he was escaping from something.

Gu Nan looked at his disciple's back gradually melting into the darkness, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

What to say?

Why give up?

Is failure really that terrible...

Gu Nan asked himself, is failure really that terrible?

...Yes, failure is really terrible. The unwillingness, frustration, anger, and even fear of failure...are enough to completely crush a person.

But she didn't give up...

She never gave up...

Gu Nan fell in love with the subject of chemistry when he first came into contact with chemistry according to the request of his grandfather Gu Dongliang when he was a child, and he persistently embarked on the path of chemistry. Domestic chemistry competitions, world international competitions...

13-year-old high school, skipped a grade, 15-year-old university, these are the results of her hard work... She still has no talent, and stumbled in international competitions.

But that competition was also the best result that China has achieved in international chemistry in the past 30 years, but even so, the domestic news at that time just gave Gu Nan a few pages, after all——

All she got was an encouragement award.

After that, no matter how hard Gu Nan tried, until she became an adult, she still couldn't surpass this ranking.

After graduating from university, she stayed in school as an assistant teacher, and later served as the team leader of the national youth team. After serving as the team leader for three years, Gu Nan realized half complicatedly and half sadly——

Most of the children of these national teams have lost the desire to win the international chemistry competition, and the talented cousin doesn’t like chemistry, so she voluntarily gave up this well-paid job and came to Shanghai...

Temporarily serving as a teacher at Fudan University, she hopes that the dream of being a champion who has not been realized in her hands can be realized by these children who have unlimited possibilities.

So what about the disparity in strength...

So what about failing again and again...

So what if you can't even see the back of the chasing...

Didn't she come here like this when she was a child?

Would she experience fewer failures than anyone without talent?

But she did not give up.

She never gave up.

...However, it is not enough that she alone did not give up.

In this country, there are not a few people who like chemistry, and there are definitely a lot of people who can do chemistry problems. But if you are really good at learning, you want chemistry to rise in China, and you want Chinese chemistry to win a place in the world. To be the world chemistry champion as a Chinese...

Apart from her, she has not found the second one, because a terrible habit of thinking has been formed in the minds of Chinese people - chemistry belongs to foreigners.

Chemistry is a subject for foreigners.

If the chemistry champion is not American, who else could it be?

If things go on like this, a country that has no desire to be a champion in chemistry and takes it for granted that others win the championship...

Isn't it impossible for Chinese chemistry to have a place in the world forever?

Gu Nan really wanted to see a Chinese, standing on top of the world with a national flag in his hand, saying: I am from China, I have won a gold medal, and I am a champion of chemistry.

But she who has such a wish makes an exception...

By chance, she met a hidden genius girl, the child of her senior sister, but she fell into a soft heart in daily life again and again, and began to produce - how can such a good talent be wasted on chemistry?

She took the initiative to persuade the girl to give up chemistry... She was afraid that she would once again cultivate a mediocre person like herself...

She saw that Mu Zi'an's temperament changed drastically because of this, he stopped talking to herself, and even regarded herself as someone else, a person named Lily, doing math problems day and night...

I have forced Doudou to this point, and after she finally got excellent grades, how could I persuade her to turn back?

Gu Nan gestured at the list and picked up the phone.

"Hey, Grandpa, let Shi Qing answer the phone."

"I have something to tell him."
