self-deprecating

Gu Ze and Han Zizhou took their time and walked to the cafeteria leisurely. It feels really good not to have to compete with others for food.

When he was about to reach the entrance of the cafeteria, he heard a familiar voice: "Gu Ze? Han Zizhou?"

Is there anything more embarrassing than skipping class to eat and running into the head teacher?Yes, the head teacher invites you to have lunch with him.

When Gu Ze and Han Zizhou heard the voice, they could only turn their heads and greeted obediently, "Hello, teacher."

"Well, why did you come to eat so early?" Lao Zhang asked while holding a thermos.

The two looked at Lao Zhang's expression, but they didn't see any sign of anger, as if they were asking a casual question.

Gu Ze smiled and nodded, "I just happened to meet you. It's a coincidence."

Listening to Gu Ze's words, Han Zizhou turned his head to the side speechlessly, he could really say...it's really a coincidence...

Old Zhang: "Well, it's really a coincidence that the teacher invites you to eat in the staff cafeteria?"

What is Lao Zhang doing?The two were confused for a while, and waved their hands, "You don't need the teacher, and eating in the cafeteria is fine."

"Let's go, let's have a good chat with you." Lao Zhang ignored the refusal of the two, and walked ahead into the staff canteen.

The teaching staff canteen is naturally more delicious than the big pot meal in the canteen. Lao Zhang stood at the window and ordered five or six dishes, and then said to the two, "Serve it yourself."

The two hurried to the front of the window to order food, followed Lao Zhang to find an empty table and sat down.

Lao Zhang took a bite of the food, "Hurry up and eat, it's better than the cafeteria."

The two of them were puzzled, but they couldn't ignore the delicious food, so they took chopsticks and started eating.

Gu Ze took a mouthful of beef stew with potatoes, "Old Zhang, the stewed beef is not bad enough."

Lao Zhang smiled and glanced at him, "You can't stop your mouth if you have something to eat, pick and choose."

Gu Ze chuckled and picked up another piece of beef.

While eating, Lao Zhang finally spoke, "Tell me, why did you leave early? You can't just run out of the classroom for me, right?"

"No, the teacher kicked us out of the classroom, and then the two of us took advantage of the opportunity to have a meal." Gu Ze responded.

Lao Zhang looked at Han Zizhou, "You were kicked out too?"

Lao Zhang was a little puzzled, Han Zizhou got No.1 in the exam, which teacher didn't hold him in the palm of his hand and take good care of him, why did he drive him out?

Han Zizhou nodded, "Well, I did other homework in class and passed a note to Gu Ze. The teacher let the two of us come out to treat everyone equally."

Lao Zhang nodded, "It's pretty honest, and I'm not lying. But if the teacher asks you to stand as a penalty, just stand still, and you can't leave early."

Han Zizhou looked like a good student who accepts criticism humbly, "The teacher is right."

Lao Zhang looked at the two of them, "It's about to take the midterm exam again, you should study hard."

"Got it, teacher." Han Zizhou nodded.

Gu Ze sat beside him without saying a word.

Lao Zhang looked at Gu Ze, "Gu Ze, you're not stupid, you can definitely learn if you study hard, come to the office later, I'll get you something."

Gu Ze nodded, "Okay."

After the three of them ate, Lao Zhang led Gu Ze to the office.Han Zizhou was so bored, he chatted with Gu Ze, went up the stairs and turned a corner, and went to the office without paying attention.

When Lao Zhang pushed the door of the office, he happened to see Wu Qiuyun waiting in the office angrily.

"Ah, Teacher Zhang, are you back?" Wu Qiuyun saw the two boys following behind her again, "Just in time, these two troublemakers are also here."

Lao Zhang asked them to come in first and stand aside, and spoke to Wu Qiuyun in a good-tempered manner, "Mr. Wu, what happened, please speak well, don't be angry."

"Mr. Jiang, these two students in the class didn't listen carefully to the teacher and contradicted the teacher. I asked them to stand outside the classroom to reflect, and they left early. They didn't pay attention to the teacher at all."

Gu Ze got angry when he saw her, and couldn't help but said with a hint of sarcasm: "Teacher, we didn't contradict you, we went out when you asked us to go out, and accepted your criticism very seriously."

Wu Qiuyun raised her finger and pointed at Gu Ze, "Mr. Zhang, you saw it! This is called not contradicting the teacher!"

Lao Zhang raised his hand to block Wu Qiuyun's, "Teacher Wu, don't be angry, anger won't solve the problem."

"Especially this Gu Ze, who doesn't learn well every day, and even leads Han Zizhou to the ground. Look at him, he dares to contradict the teacher in school, and he won't do much in society in the future. He's like a bastard! I heard that he was beating people outside the school before, but no one cares about him like this, it's just corrupting the moral character!"

When Lao Zhang heard these words, his complexion was not good-looking, and he said in a cold voice: "Mr. Wu, you can't say that about my students. If you make mistakes, you can correct them, but you can't accuse students without grounds."

"Mr. Zhang, you...you may not listen to this kind of person if you speak well, so you should go home directly! Staying here is a waste of school resources!"

When Gu Ze heard these words, he laughed angrily, but his eyes were cold.

"Gu Ze, you and Han Zizhou go back first." Lao Zhang pointed to the door, then turned his head, "Teacher Wu, if you have any questions, let's communicate first."

Gu Ze didn't move, still stood quietly, Han Zizhou pulled his arm, "Gu Ze, let's go."

Pulling Gu Ze out of the office, Han Zizhou smiled, "Brother Ze, shall we leave first?"

Gu Ze pursed his lips, frowned, and the aura around him seemed very frightening.

"Brother Ze? Come with me?" Gu Ze still didn't speak, and Han Zizhou just grabbed Gu Ze's wrist and walked forward.

Han Zizhou actually didn't know where to go, he just didn't want to stay there, and didn't want to go back to the classroom, so he grabbed Gu Ze's wrist and walked down the stairs.Coming out of the teaching building, Han Zizhou took a road with few people, and kept walking forward.

Gu Ze was pulled by him, so he could only follow him forward.

After walking for a long time, Gu Ze finally said, "Where are you going?"

Han Zizhou stopped and turned to look at him without speaking.In fact, he didn't know where to go...

Gu Ze's face was cold for a long time, and he suddenly smiled, "You can walk out of the school directly after walking this road, do you want to take me out?"

Han Zizhou suddenly felt a little embarrassed, "I have never walked this way..."

Gu Ze suddenly felt that his deskmate was so funny?Turning his wrist, he took his hand out of Han Zizhou's palm, and took Han Zizhou's wrist to turn to another road.

After walking along the road for a while, I arrived at the door of the laboratory building.It is said to be a laboratory building, but few people come to do experiments. Most of the physical chemistry experiment teachers just demonstrate in class, and will not bring everyone to the laboratory building for experiments.The experimental building of No. [-] Middle School is well built, but it is not popular, and the empty building looks a little deserted.

The door of the experimental classroom is locked, and few people come.Gu Ze dragged Han Zizhou to the top floor, only then did Han Zizhou find a small platform with molds showing the eight planets of the solar system, and two benches next to it.

There was no one sitting on the bench, and a thin layer of dust had already fallen on it. Gu Ze took out a piece of paper from his pants pocket, wiped it carelessly, and said to Han Zizhou, "Sit."

Han Zizhou didn't care, and sat next to Gu Ze.

Neither of them spoke.

After being quiet for a long time, Gu Ze asked, "What did you call me just now?"

Han Zizhou froze for a moment, recalling the situation just now in his mind, Gu Ze's face was too ugly, and then he called him...

"Brother Ze"...

It was never called by name before.

Han Zizhou had selective amnesia decisively, "What?"

"Did you call me brother just now?" Gu Ze continued to ask.

"... Hmm." How can I hit a straight ball!There is no way to avoid it.

Gu Ze felt in a good mood.

Han Zizhou calmed down, "It's strategically called, just like a child who wants to give candy when he is angry."

Gu Ze was obviously not satisfied, "When is your birthday?"

"December [-]th." Han Zizhou answered directly, and then asked, "What about you?"

Gu Ze did some calculations in his mind, the two were at the same level, obviously Han Zizhou was at the end of the previous year, and he was at the beginning of the second year.

I thought that I was old enough to make Han Zizhou call "Brother" twice more, but now I dug a hole and buried myself.

"Why don't you talk anymore? Are you younger than me?" Han Zizhou's eyes were clearly smiling.

"February [-]rd, it's only two months away." Gu Ze turned his head, obviously feeling a little speechless.

"Two months old is still young, listen to 'Brother'." Han Zizhou teased him specially.

Gu Ze glanced at him, but said nothing.

"Forget it, anyway, there will always be a chance to call in the future." Han Zizhou leaned against the wall indifferently, and straightened his long legs. Obviously, this position is more comfortable.

Gu Ze also straightened his legs, and touched Han Zizhou's feet with the toe of his shoes, "Hey, she said that I influenced you and led you to ruin."

Han Zizhou chuckled, "Then you are quite capable."

"Isn't that right! You have a lot of skills, talk with the first grader in class, pass notes, and return it, and you don't have to study hard now." Gu Ze laughed while talking, "What if you get the second grade in the midterm exam?" , They are about to bombard me with cannons."

"Then I will work hard, try to get a few more mistakes, and be the second in the grade, and let them all bombard you." Han Zizhou followed his words casually.

Gu Ze raised his elbow and was about to hit Han Zizhou's stomach, "It's none of my business to take your exam. You can score as much as you like, or you can come to the last exam room and be my company."

Gu Ze didn't use any strength at all, Han Zizhou grabbed Gu Ze's arm directly, "It's okay."

Gu Ze pulled his arm out with some strength, "Get lost! You take the exam well, or I will lose face as your deskmate."

"Ok?"

"Everyone only remembers me as the tablemate in the first grade. No one knows who the tablemate in the second grade is. That's the reason, understand?"

Han Zizhou: "...Even if you are not the tablemate at the top of the grade, everyone knows you."

"Well, it makes sense." Gu Ze nodded, "So, everyone knows me, if you don't take the first place in the exam, everyone will say that Brother Ze's deskmate didn't take the first place in the exam."

Han Zizhou: "..."

What kind of weird logic is this?Han Zizhou used his Chinese comprehension ability of 130+ to figure it out carefully.

One is: Brother Ze is the deskmate of the first grade; the other is: Brother Ze's deskmate is the first grader.

This is probably a battle of face and status...
