Silence is gold

A few sheets of scratch paper.

The first monthly exam after the separation of arts and sciences is arranged before the National Day holiday.Jiang Chen was very worried about this exam. His grades were really bad. He thought he would be more comfortable after being divided into classes, but unexpectedly, mathematics still weighed on his head like a mountain.

"Would you like to help you with tutoring?" Zhao Zixuan appeared hauntingly, with one hand resting on his desk and the other on his shoulder, "I choose B for this question, how many times did the math teacher tell you?" gone."

His voice was very low, with a hint of a smile, and his breath brushed against Jiang Chen's ear.Jiang Chen felt that he was not well, and instinctively raised his hands to cover his ears.

Zhao Zixuan laughed: "Jiang Chen, you are so cute—do you really want me to help you make up lessons?"

"No thanks."

"Hey—it's really worrying." Zhao Zixuan said, "Every time I see you struggling with mathematics with a bitter face, don't always refuse others' kindness."

Jiang Chen didn't care about his good intentions or malice, but after the last time on the playground, he gradually felt that he must not have anything to do with Zhao Zixuan.As Zhao Yang said, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

☆, lost

The school didn't know what it was thinking, and the monthly exam was changed to an interspersed exam between senior one and senior two.Zhan Yan said bluntly that this method is extremely stupid: "Yes, in this way, the sophomores don't want to cheat, but the freshmen just need to ask the seniors and sisters for a favor, and it's not difficult to get one or two answers. , It’s really cheap for them.”

Wu Shuangshuang followed suit, but Jiang remained silent.He thought sadly, that is the examination room in front of you, like me, I don’t know the answer if people beg me.

Jiang Chen's exam deskmate is a petite and cute soft girl, with big eyes as cute as a doll, and a very sweet voice. A senior's call is really mellow and touching, which can make people feel tender to the bone.It's a pity that Jiang Chen still had no expression on his face, and only responded lightly, not even interested in asking her name.

The soft girl junior answered the questions calmly, presumably because she has a good understanding of the candidates in the same examination room, and never secretly asked Jiang Chen a single question from the beginning to the end.This made Jiang Chen relieved but also deeply shocked.

Exams are over, and the joyful National Day holiday is finally here.The students who could only go home once a month were very excited, but Jiang Chen couldn't be happy at all, and couldn't help but get a headache when he thought of going home.

While standing at the school gate waiting for his mother to pick him up, Jiang Chen saw Zhao Zixuan and Zhan Yan.Zhao Zixuan was carrying his own schoolbag and a pink suitcase in his hand, which at first glance belonged to Zhan Yan.The two walked out of the school gate talking and laughing, walking side by side, their figures looked very well matched.

Sure enough, they are lovers, Jiang Chen thought with a blank face, a little lamenting the unfairness of fate.Look at Zhao Zixuan, who hangs out with delinquent boys, smokes and falls in love, and his academic performance is still so good.On the other hand, looking at myself, I force myself to plunge into the sea of ​​books and questions every day, but I still look like an idiot, studying in a mess.

It's true that people are more popular than people.

"Jiang Chen? Why are you in a daze." Jiang Chen turned around and saw his mother coming from the side, calling him with a frown.

"Mom." Jiang Chen called out and walked quietly to his side.

"How's it going, is your study going well? How about the exam?" Mother Jiang walked to the car with him and put his bag on the back seat of the car.

"I don't know." Jiang Chen said, sitting very upright in the passenger seat, "The results won't come out until after the holiday."

Mother Jiang sighed: "Just don't be as bad as before. Your father and I are very anxious."

Jiang Chen did not dare to say that he might not make any progress. He felt strange why his parents thought that as long as he was divided into classes, his academic performance would improve by leaps and bounds. It was obviously unscientific to think about it with his knees.

"By the way, mom helped you make an appointment with the former piano teacher these few days, so don't leave the piano behind."

"Huh? But I haven't practiced for a whole year." Jiang Chen said, "Why do I have to practice the piano."

Mother Jiang was displeased: "It's because I haven't practiced for a year that I picked it up. Anyway, it's a good skill, so it won't be too useless."

Jiang Chen lowered his head silently. Of course he knew that his mother always felt ashamed because of his poor study, but he still felt a little sad when his loved one said that.Why can't I have excellent grades like Zhao Zixuan, so my mother...

"You have to practice hard in the future, remember?"

Jiang Chen nodded: "I know mom."

The mother and son fell silent and didn't say a word until they got home.

Jiang Chen knew that his own mother was different from other people's mothers.His mother will never be like other mothers, caring about how her children are doing in school, whether they are eating well, and whether they are adapting to the new class.Mother Jiang always asks, only how is his study, how is his piano, and nothing else.

Jiang Chen himself doesn't know whether this is good or bad, or maybe he has already gotten used to it after more than ten years.However, it is always inevitable to lose.

Jiang Chen spent an unforgettable vacation, in every way.

Sitting in front of the piano and playing monotonous notes, he remembered that Wu Shuangshuang said that the whole family would go out to play during the National Day holiday, and Zhao Yang also said that his parents would take him to his grandmother's house in the countryside.It's better than being accompanied by these music scores. Jiang Chen didn't concentrate on practicing, and played several wrong notes, which made the strict piano teacher frown frequently.

"Jiang Chen, you are so inattentive today, what are you thinking about?" When Jiang Chen made mistakes again and again, the piano teacher finally couldn't bear it anymore and motioned him to stop.

Jiang Chen looked up at her in a daze: "Teacher?"

The piano teacher put down the sheet music: "Jiang Chen, I've said it before when I taught you, if you can't devote yourself wholeheartedly, don't play the piano. This is a very disrespectful behavior to music."

Jiang Chen expressionless: "I'm sorry."

"Then let's stop here today." The piano teacher stood up, "Practice yourself."

"Okay, thank you teacher."

After seeing off the piano teacher, Jiang Chen was at a loss.His parents are not at home, he stays alone in the big empty house, he always feels at a loss, and when he is free, he can't help but think about what other classmates are doing, probably everyone is happier than him , Jiang Chen felt bitter in his mouth, his fingers fell on the keys, and a harsh sound came out heavily.

On the last day of the holiday, Jiang Chen was given a day off by his mother.Said it was a day, but it was just going back to school in the afternoon.Getting used to this kind of life, Jiang Chen no longer has any obsession with going out to play. Just as his mother was going to the supermarket to buy something, he proposed to go to the supermarket with his mother and help him get some things.

The large supermarket was not very far from home, so the mother and son walked there, and there was still nothing to say on the way.Mother Jiang asked a few questions about his studies, and asked him to study hard and not to get involved with the messy things in school.

Jiang Chen inadvertently mentioned that he was selected by the teacher as a propaganda committee member, and Jiang's mother was a little displeased: "The academic performance is a mess, how can you still focus on these things, I will tell your head teacher later to tell you not to do it. "

"I didn't waste any time." Jiang Chen argued, "It's just that I need to change the blackboard newspaper after a while, and it's not a big deal." And...Teacher Tao is because he writes beautifully, and no one has ever praised him before. What are the advantages.For the latter reason, Jiang Chen naturally dared not say it.

"I just said that your head teacher is too young and has no experience at all." Jiang's mother frowned and said, "It's about this time, and people do these things without considering the students' academic performance."

Jiang Chen lowered his head, not daring to answer.

The top floor of the supermarket is a video game city, which is always overcrowded during holidays.Jiang Chen and the others came out after shopping. Just as they walked out of the entrance of the supermarket on the first floor, they heard a voice not far away: "Jiang—Chen—" He dragged on for a long time, and the voice was a little familiar. looked over.

☆, injured

Mother Jiang was already upset when she heard someone calling Jiang Chen in that tone, and her expression became even worse when she saw a boy with yellow hair on top, skull short sleeves, and ripped jeans walking towards them.

Huang Mao didn't know who came with him, and he was carrying a teddy bear half the height of a person in his hand.He walked towards Jiang Chen and the others, as if he hadn't seen Jiang's mother's ugly face, he greeted naturally: "Jiang Chen, I'm not mistaken, this is your mother?"

Jiang Chen glanced at his mother anxiously, seeing that she hadn't lost her temper yet, thinking that he didn't even know Huang Mao's name, so he could only vaguely explain: "Our school's senior."

Huang Mao grinned: "Hi Auntie, my name is Ma Ji."

Mother Jiang said calmly, "Hello."

Ma Ji complimented: "Auntie is so young and good-looking, no wonder Jiang Chen is so handsome."

Mother Jiang didn't like this at all: "I still have something to do with Jiang Chen, you play slowly, we'll go first."

Ma Ji shrugged: "Okay, then we meet Jiang Chen at school, and see you again, auntie." He tucked the teddy bear under his arm, turned around and walked leisurely into the supermarket.

Jiang's mother remained silent until she got into the car. She didn't start the car right away, and asked coldly after a while, "Do you usually associate with that kind of person?"

"I don't, I'm not familiar with him." Jiang Chen defended in a low voice, "I just learned his name just now."

"That kind of bastard shouldn't stay in school." Jiang's mother frowned and said, "In short, stay away from those people. If you become like that, mother will never forgive you, do you remember?"

Jiang Chen lowered his head helplessly: "I see."

In the afternoon, Mother Jiang sent Jiang Chen to school as usual, and told him not to come out to play after entering the school, and watched him walk into the gate before driving away.Jiang Chen walked into the school gate and suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.Although he had to face heavy learning tasks at school, he felt that he was even more out of breath at home.

Returning to school is always the busiest time. Many people hurriedly put their things in the dormitory, and then seized the time to go outside for a walk, but there were not many people in the dormitory.Jiang Chen walked up slowly along the side of the stairs, thinking that the results of the monthly exam would be out in the evening, and he felt that he did not do well in the exam, and he didn't know what the result would be.

If you walk without paying attention, accidents are easy to happen. Jiang Chen walked with his head buried, thinking that it would be okay to walk on one side, but when he was about to reach the fourth floor, two figures hurriedly turned around from the fifth floor. The individual couldn't stop for a moment and bumped into him.Jiang Chen's eyes widened. There was nothing to rely on on the wall. He struggled feebly and fell down, rolling down the stairs like a ball.

It hurts, it hurts, it hurts... The world was spinning, and Jiang Chen lay on the ground with his eyes closed, listening to the voices around him slowly becoming noisy, as if he was far away from him.Lying in a daze for a while, he heard someone shouting: "Come on, someone has passed out."

Jiang Chen frowned, feeling that the surrounding voices were extremely harsh.He wanted to make the surrounding quiet.However, he couldn't open his mouth no matter what, his lips moved a few times, and finally he lost his energy and lost consciousness.

When he woke up, his whole body hurt like falling apart, and the top of his head was white. Jiang Chen moved his arms, and couldn't help but gasped again.

"Jiang Chen is awake." It was Zhao Yang's voice at the same table.

Jiang Chen turned his head with difficulty, and saw that Zhao Yang was sitting beside his bed, while Zhao Zixuan was walking over from the window.Both of them looked worried, Zhao Zixuan saw his dull face, turned to Zhao Yang and said, "It's not really a concussion, why is he so stupid?"

Jiang Chen finally found his voice: "You are stupid."

Zhao Zixuan breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems to be fine, it's scary to death."

Jiang Chen frowned and wanted to sit up, Zhao Yang quickly and carefully supported him, and stuffed a pillow behind him: "Be careful, it must be painful to roll down that high."

Jiang Chen sat up and cleared his drowsy mind for a while, and the pain when he rolled down began to wake up all over his body. He looked around but didn't see the clock, so he asked Zhao Yang: "What time is it?"

Zhao Yang took out his mobile phone and showed him the screen time, and said, "If you don't wake up for evening study, we will ask Teacher Tao to take you to the hospital."

"Fortunately, it's okay." Zhao Zixuan said, "How did you get out?"

Jiang Chen thought for a while: "Two people hit me."

Zhao Zixuan's expression was a little gloomy: "Then they ran away and left you there alone?"

Jiang Chen didn't want to cause trouble: "Maybe they have something to worry about."

"No matter how anxious you are, you won't have time to call someone." Zhao Zixuan said, "Fortunately, you are fine. If something goes wrong, can they afford it?"

Jiang Chen's face was a little pale, he really wanted to say that it wasn't Zhao Zixuan who rolled down, what was there to worry about, seeing how worried Zhao Zixuan was for him, he felt that he shouldn't say such things, so he simply pretended to be an ostrich quietly.

"Forget it." Zhao Yang couldn't bear to see Jiang Chen's pitiful look, "Can you get up? Why don't you go back to the dormitory and rest, and I'll help you ask for leave for evening study."

Jiang Chen shook his head: "I'm fine, I'll go when class starts soon." His tone was very firm, Zhao Yang and Zhao Zixuan didn't want to force him, so they didn't say much.

Jiang Chen had a Band-Aid on his forehead, a few Band-Aids on the bruises on his arms, and his legs were a little limp. He entered the classroom looking wounded.Zhan Yan's eyes followed him all the way back to her seat: "Are you okay, Jiang Chen, why haven't you seen each other for a few days?"

"I accidentally dropped it." Jiang Chen said.

"Hey——" Zhan Yan looked at him suspiciously, then turned her head to see Zhao Zixuan who was following behind with an ugly face, and asked again, "What's going on."

Zhao Zixuan snorted coldly, Jiang Chen heard the snort clearly, touched the Band-Aid on his forehead, and shook his head helplessly.

After the bell rang for a long time, teacher Tao, the head teacher, came late, holding two report cards in his hand.Jiang Chen looked at the two thin sheets of paper, his heart beating uncontrollably.

Teacher Tao didn't analyze the grades right away. She sat behind the desk with the grades and looked at them for a long time by herself, drawing in circles with a pen in her hand.Jiang Chen looked at the history book, looked up several times but did not see Teacher Tao intending to speak, was disappointed several times and finally heard Teacher Tao interrupt the silence in the classroom.

"Our monthly exam results are out." Teacher Tao said with a serious face, "I just looked at it myself, and roughly compared it with the last exam score before class placement—of course, this is for reference only, and it does not have any special meaning. Reliable value. Here, I would like to mention one person in particular, classmate Zhao Zixuan."

☆, protection

The whole class was a little puzzled, and Zhao Zixuan probably was too.Under the curious eyes of the whole class, Teacher Tao said solemnly: "Zhao Zixuan is No.1 in our class in this monthly exam." , the whole grade, including key classes, Zhao Zixuan ranks seventeenth."

Jiang Chen felt the pain on his forehead throbbing. He only knew that Zhao Zixuan studied well in junior high school, but he didn't seem to stand out in the first year of high school... right?Otherwise, he would have already entered the key class, right?How could it suddenly advance by leaps and bounds?

After analyzing Zhao Zixuan, Teacher Tao said how many students are in the top [-] in the grade, and how many students are in the top [-] in age.Jiang Chen couldn't listen anymore, he just wanted to see his results quickly.When the first evening self-study class was about to end, Teacher Tao took back the copied transcripts and distributed them to everyone one by one.

Jiang Chen could feel his hands trembling. He looked for his name from the back to the front, and found his name after scanning a dozen lines with his fingertips, Jiang Chen.

It's time to be numb, Jiang Chen thought, why is hard work always useless.Obviously the grades are already very bad, but there are more suspicions of partial subjects.I couldn't help but move my gaze up to the top row. From the first subject to the last subject, I couldn't help but sigh, the perfect result is enviable.

How did this person do it? Jiang Chen couldn't bear to see his own results after reading other people's results. He folded the report card and put it in the page.The thought of holding a parent-teacher meeting in the future is even more of a headache.

In the next few days of self-study classes, Teacher Tao talked to his classmates in batches, and Jiang Chen and Zhan Yan were in the same batch.Zhan Yan didn't seem to care about the grades at all, she smiled as usual, and pulled Jiang Chen to the back.

"Don't you care that you didn't pass the exam?" Jiang Chen couldn't help asking.

"There's no need to care about it." Zhan Yan said, "I don't have any talent for learning, so it's useless to force it. Why do I have to force myself to do something I don't like." This is very willful, Jiang Chen thinks about it The few beautiful paintings on the blackboard were silent.

Coming out of the office, Jiang Chen's heart was very heavy, as expected, it's no good to be close to Xueba.Teacher Tao originally said: "The truth is always very simple."

Zhan Yan said with a smile: "It seems that both of us have been entrusted to that guy Zhao Zixuan."

Jiang Chen looked at her blankly: "Huh?"

Zhan Yan and him looked at each other for a while, then suddenly stretched out her hand to pull the corner of his mouth, Jiang Chen said in pain: "Zhan Yan, what are you doing?"

Zhan Yan said: "You really don't know how to laugh, come and smile."

It happened to be between classes, and there were still a lot of people coming and going in the corridor. After receiving some uncomfortable sights, Jiang Chen pressed her hand in embarrassment: "Stop making trouble."

"It's so boring..." Zhan Yan withdrew her hand, took two quick steps forward and then turned around, "Jiang Chen, actually, you don't need to do this, are you really not tired?"

Will you be tired?Jiang Chen asked himself again, and the answer was that there was no answer.He looked at Zhan Yan's back with light steps, and couldn't help but envy her.

The next night Jiang Chen went back to the dormitory and heard his roommates talk about how two boys in Class [-] were beaten. He went to the teacher with a bruised nose and asked for leave to go home, but he refused to say who was the one who beat him.The teacher had no choice but to let the two go home and warn them not to cause trouble again.

Jiang Chen listened casually, turned up the questions in his heart, and simply ran to the dormitory next door and dragged Zhao Zixuan into the corridor.

Zhao Zixuan just came back after washing his face, he wiped it casually, and couldn't help laughing at Jiang Chen's serious look: "What's wrong with you, you actually came to our dormitory to look for me."

Jiang Chen pursed his lips: "Come out, I have something to ask you."

"It's so mysterious." Zhao Zixuan smiled, and followed Jiang Chen to the door obediently.

Jiang Chen hesitated for a moment: "Those two boys from Class Ten..."

Zhao Zixuan raised his eyebrows: "Huh?"

"Did you hit it?"

Zhao Zixuan said: "Yes, but I didn't do anything."

Jiang Chen didn't expect him to admit it so simply: "You're crazy, I'm not afraid that Teacher Tao will find out."

"But Teacher Tao won't know."

"you--"

"Don't worry, even if you are pursued, you will not be pursued." Zhao Zixuan said.

"I did not mean that."

"I know, I know you are not that kind of person. I just think that such a person needs a lesson. It's not a big deal now, and you haven't been hurt. But what if, if you're seriously injured, they Run away without taking responsibility at all, all the pain has to be borne by you alone, is this fair to you?" Zhao Zixuan looked at him seriously, and said, "I know it's not good to do this, but sometimes, there are only specific means Only then will it really play a role, which is the so-called repaying the other with the way of the other."

"In this world, only you can protect yourself."

When Zhao Zixuan said this, his eyes were completely different from before, as if he was a different person, Jiang Chen panicked, he didn't dare to look directly into his eyes, and turned his head slightly.The wound on the left side of his forehead was not serious, it had already started to form a scar, and when he turned his head, the scar fell into Zhao Zixuan's eyes more clearly.

Zhao Zixuan looked at the abrupt scar on his fair skin, and caressed it with his fingers out of nowhere.

Jiang Chen was startled by him, turned his head to avoid it and took two steps back, Zhao Zixuan saw that someone was just behind him bringing a large basin of water, so he quickly reached out and grabbed his wrist, and pulled it in his direction.Jiang Chen was caught off guard and bumped into Zhao Zixuan.

As if...he couldn't breathe anymore, Jiang Chen leaned on Zhao Zixuan's body stiffly, and the three big words "what to do" were floating in his mind.

Zhao Zixuan's voice seemed to come from outside the sky: "It's all right."

Jiang Chen swallowed, pretended to push him away naturally, and stood up straight: "It's okay—anyway, don't do such dangerous things in the future."

Zhao Zixuan's smile was very gentle, his eyes were very gentle, and his voice was unprecedentedly gentle: "Don't worry."

"Who's worried." Jiang Chen felt that the atmosphere was not right, even though the surroundings were still chaotic, it seemed as if there were only the two of them here.This feeling was so weird, Jiang Chen couldn't hold on, he hurriedly said goodbye and fled back to his dormitory.

☆, mystery

The parent-teacher meeting was scheduled at [-]:[-] am on Sunday, and when Jiang Chen anxiously called his mother to inform him, although Jiang's mother was a little unhappy about his grades, she agreed to reject the appointment with her friends to come to school.

The whole day of Sunday is self-study, and many parents deliberately come early to take their children out for a walk before the parent-teacher meeting.Jiang Chen was sitting in the classroom doing questions, and there were fewer and fewer students around. The mothers of Zhan Yan and Wu Shuangshuang in the front row came, and Zhao Yang, who was at the same table, was also taken away by the parents.Jiang Chen was doing the questions alone, and really wanted to look back to see if Zhao Zixuan was there, if he had slipped out the back door a long time ago.

It was rare for Jiang's mother to show up in the classroom before the parents' meeting. Jiang Chen closed the exercises and stood up, looking back inadvertently, and unexpectedly found that Zhao Zixuan was in the classroom, lying on the table and sleeping soundly, with one arm on the On the table, hands hanging in front of the table.Zhao Zixuan's side face was a bit nice, Jiang Chen couldn't help but look at it twice, and left the classroom through the back door.

Mother Jiang frowned when she saw Jiang Chen: "What happened to your forehead?"

Jiang Chen touched his forehead, the scar hadn't healed yet, and he could still touch a little bump. Jiang Chen was afraid that he would continue to make trouble if he told the truth, so he had to lie: "I accidentally bumped it."

"Why are you so careless." Mother Jiang stretched out her well-maintained slender fingers, touched them gently, and was very worried: "Will there be scars? I have been very careful not to let you bump into them since I was a child. How come the older you get, the less careful you are?"

Jiang Chen was left speechless by what she said, and lowered his head.The two walked all the way to the school gate, found a chair and sat down, Mother Jiang took the report card that Jiang Chen gave him, looked at it in silence for a long time, and sighed in disappointment: "What's going on, Jiang Chen, what are you doing?" Are you studying hard, why is there no progress at all?"

When Jiang's mother was evaluating and analyzing Jiang Chen's grades, Jiang Chen had always been silent, saying too much and making mistakes. It would be easier to simply let his mother say everything she wanted to say.

The left ear went in and the right ear went out to hear Jiang's mother say something, and Jiang Chen caught a glimpse of Zhao Zixuan walking towards the gate from the corner of his eyes.Could it be that the parents are here too?Jiang Chen was a little curious, and wanted to see who the parents of Zhao Zixuan, the great god, would be.Mother Jiang saw that he was absent-minded and his expression was erratic, so she raised her voice slightly and called, "Jiang Chen? Are you listening to mother?"

"Yes, I will work hard." Jiang Chen said obediently.

Mother Jiang looked at him. This child was good-looking, but he had no talent, no intelligence, and his personality was not very likable.In front of grown-ups, he looks obedient and clever, but who knows what he is thinking in his heart?Who does such a child look like?She sighed helplessly: "The parent meeting is about to start, you go back to the classroom and read, mom will go to the meeting first."

Jiang Chen nodded, sent Jiang's mother to the small auditorium, and walked slowly to the classroom alone.Zhao Zixuan chased up from behind and called his name.Jiang Chen stopped helplessly, he had been avoiding Zhao Zixuan since that night, even when Zhao Zixuan talked to him behind him, he didn't look back, there was no way, he still couldn't hide.

"Your mother is here for a parent-teacher meeting." Zhao Zixuan said, "I saw you just now."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Well, what about you?"

"Me." Zhao Zixuan said, "Of course it's also my mother."

Jiang Chen said "Oh", he was embarrassed to say that he was very curious about Zhao Zixuan's mother, but unfortunately he didn't see it.

"Did your mother say anything?"

"Huh?" Jiang Chen raised his eyes blankly, "What are you talking about?"

Zhao Zixuan pointed to his forehead, and Jiang Chen touched his own forehead, suddenly: "Oh, this, I told her that I accidentally knocked it on."

Zhao Zixuan nodded: "Alright."

The grade-level parent meeting did not last long, and immediately after the end, the parent meeting of each class.Parents sit where students are, and students stand in aisles and at the back of classrooms.Standing behind, Jiang Chen couldn't see Zhao Zixuan's mother's face, but could only see her back, a little disappointed.Until the parent representative came to speak on stage, Zhao Zixuan's mother stood up, Jiang Chen looked at her expectantly, but was disappointed to see that she was just a short, thin and featureless figure, and when she stood on the podium facing everyone, Jiang Chen The surprise is even more indescribable.

Zhao Zixuan's mother was a very ordinary little woman, and the wrinkles on her face showed that she must have experienced many vicissitudes.Jiang Chen turned his head to look at Zhao Zixuan, but saw that he was staring intently at the woman on the stage, with an undisguised smile on his lips, and although the woman on the stage was a bit shy, the smile on her face was kind, with Infinite tolerance looked at Zhao Zixuan.Every word she said was extremely proficient, as if she had said such words a thousand times before.

From Zhao's mother's speech, Jiang Chen judged that her education is not higher than high school, but for a boy like Zhao Zixuan who is very outstanding at first glance, is his family background really like this?Jiang Chen didn't believe it at all.Could it be to find someone to hold the parent-teacher meeting instead?But eyes can never lie, if Zhao Zixuan's affectionate eyes can be performed, then he has to admit that Zhao Zixuan's acting skills are so superb, he is simply a natural born actor.

Jiang Chen is not a person who likes to gossip, but his curiosity about Zhao Zixuan has reached an unprecedented level.After the parent meeting, he asked Zhao Yang about Zhao Zixuan's family, Zhao Yang felt that he cared too much about Zhao Zixuan, and looked at him suspiciously: "What do you want to know, you've been acting strange lately, Jiang Chen. "

Jiang Chen felt that he was going too far, so he insisted on asking, "Do you know anything?"

Zhao Yang shook his head: "This person is really mysterious."

Jiang Chen didn't give up: "Is it really his mother who came to the parents' meeting that day?"

"Otherwise?" Zhao Yang wondered, "It's been her for several years. Besides, don't judge people by their appearances, maybe they are just a tall man who doesn't show off."

"Is that right?"

"You can ask Zhao Zixuan directly." Zhao Yang said, "I think you have a good relationship. Last time you were injured, he was still so worried about you."

Jiang Chen thought that this was not the same thing, even if Zhao Zixuan was friendly to him, it was still too strange to rush into other people's family affairs like this, and he would definitely be hated.

☆, go home

Not long after the parent-teacher meeting, Teacher Tao decided to try the so-called one-on-one learning assistance program, combining students with good grades and students with poor grades into groups one by one.

As No.1 in the class, Zhao Zixuan was unfortunately the first to be recruited. Looking at the several "candidates" provided by Teacher Tao, he suddenly felt a wonderful sense of blind date.After pretending to flip through a few report cards for a while, Zhao Zixuan looked at the nervous Teacher Tao who was afraid that he would disagree, smiled, and said the answer that he had thought in his heart a long time ago: "I want Jiang Chen."

Teacher Tao was taken aback: "Jiang Chen? He's not in this batch."

Zhao Zixuan was willful: "I don't care, I want Jiang Chen."

Teacher Tao was in a dilemma: "Helping anyone is not helping, why does it have to be Jiang Chen."

Zhao Zixuan put down the report card: "Yeah, anyway, helping someone is not helping, I just want to help Jiang Chen."

At any rate, he didn't reject this matter. Teacher Tao struggled for a while, and could only comfort himself in this way, and finally agreed reluctantly.Satisfied, Zhao Zixuan went back to the classroom to inform Jiang Chen that they were officially tied together by a thread.

Jiang Chen didn't quite understand Zhao Zixuan's practice of being bound to himself, and he was inexplicably happy.Zhan Yan was dumbfounded: "Zhao Zixuan, you didn't choose me! What a waste of our friendship for more than ten years!" Zhao Zixuan just smiled and said nothing.

Jiang Chen was caught in the middle, and belatedly remembered that Zhan Yan seemed to be Zhan Yan's girlfriend.

"How about we change it." Jiang Chen suggested.

Zhan Yan said angrily, "Don't, it's already sad enough to be picked and picked like buying vegetables, and if I have to be returned, my face will be gone."

Jiang Chen: "..."

"Where are you so busy?" Zhao Zixuan said, "Wu Shuangshuang is at your table, isn't it?"

"Don't meddle in the two of you." Wu Shuangshuang hastily separated the relationship, "I can't control her."

Jiang Chen stopped talking, and began to think about the relationship between Zhao Zixuan and Zhan Yan again.He didn't open his mouth to ask, because he himself didn't know what kind of answer he was expecting.Zhao Zixuan was such a bewildering person, from teasing him maliciously at the beginning to approaching him intentionally or unintentionally, everything made him not know how to deal with it.As for his own feelings for Zhao Zixuan, Jiang Chen suddenly didn't dare to continue thinking about it.

I have to say that although Zhao Zixuan seems unreliable, his grades are absolutely reliable evidence.With Teacher Tao's request, Jiang Chen couldn't refuse Zhao Zixuan's help, and gradually got used to asking Zhao Zixuan for advice when he encountered problems he didn't understand.Maybe because we are both students, sometimes Zhao Zixuan's explanations are easier to understand than the teacher's lectures.

Jiang Chen always wanted to prove to his parents that he could do well like others, so he worked harder and spent almost all his time on study.Although the effect is minimal, it is better than nothing, but the whole person has lost a lot of weight, and in the sudden autumn wind, the whole person looks thinner and thinner.

When the weather was getting colder, Zhan Yan left, saying that she was going to the studio to study painting to prepare for the art exam in her third year of high school. Just like what she said to Jiang Chen before, she is very chic if she doesn't force herself to do things she doesn't like.

"Huh? Aren't you going home?" Zhao Zixuan and Zhao Yang changed seats and sat beside him in the self-study class, and asked while watching him do English reading.

"Because Mom and Dad are not at home, there is no need to go back." Jiang Chen circled key words on the stem of the question according to Zhao Zixuan's request, and answered without raising his head.

Zhao Zixuan was quiet for a while: "In this case, why don't you go home with me, and I can help you make up lessons."

Jiang Chen paused, and then refused: "No need, it's fine to stay at school."

"The people in your dormitory have all gone home. It's interesting for you to be alone." Zhao Zixuan said, "Anyway, my mother will be at home, so come back with me."

"It's really unnecessary, it's too much trouble for Auntie." Jiang Chen was a little shaken, but still refused.

After getting along for a while, Zhao Zixuan knew that once Jiang Chen became stubborn, it would be useless to say anything, so he simply compromised: "Okay, then I will
