Gu Zhi was a man of action, so he took Jiang Chu's cell phone with him after school that day and went straight to a small cell phone repair shop in front of the school.

After watching the forty-year-old master skillfully dismember the mobile phone, Gu Zhi was in a daze for a moment, feeling that the "deposit" in his pocket might really be lost.

"Come and pick it up tomorrow morning." The boss fiddled with the broken phone without looking up.

Gu Zhi stared at the pile of messy parts on the table, and asked suspiciously, "It's all dismantled like this, can it really be repaired?"

The boss twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled back at him as a social person: "Why, is there a photo of your girlfriend in your phone?"

Gu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and understood the meaning of his words from the boss's smile in seconds, wondering why the boss was like Xu Jing.

At their age, they are at the age when they are in love, and their understanding of love is not so clear. There is a vague curiosity, but at the same time, they are too embarrassed to reveal it, especially in front of adults. He hurriedly explained: " No, no, this is my classmate's mobile phone, I broke it for him."

"It's okay, it's okay." The boss looked up at the logo on the chest of Gu Zhi's T-shirt, and said with a smile, "I'm not your teacher, and I don't care about your dating."

Gu Zhi: "?"

"What's the matter, don't worry? You can take it today if you want, add 50 yuan, and I'll put you in a queue. There are still several units that need to be repaired." The boss spread his hands and pointed to the table that was disassembled. Other mobile phones: "First come, first served."

Gu Zhi took out another 50 from his pocket and put it on the table, muttering in a low voice: "Since first come, first served, how can we still jump in line."

"Bow down for money, how can rules be eaten." The boss took the money and went to work immediately.Actually, the phone was reinstalled in less than half an hour, and it can be used normally.

"Look, I haven't touched anything inside, you check it."

Gu Zhi only pressed the power button to make sure it was turned on, and then he didn't move any more. The lock screen of Jiang Chu's phone was so simple that he didn't even set a password, and he could unlock it by swiping the screen from left to right.

Gu Zhi has no interest in prying into other people's privacy, he just puts it in his pocket when he confirms it can be used.

He took out his mobile phone while walking, wanted to call Jiang Chu to ask him where he was, and gave him the mobile phone himself. After dialing the number, he realized that Jiang Chu's mobile phone was still lying in his schoolbag.

If he can't give it for the time being, he can only let it lie in his schoolbag overnight, but in that case, why does he have to spend an extra 50 yuan?

Gu Zhi, who was crying stupidly by himself, went home depressed with his schoolbag.

The final exam is getting closer and closer, and the whole grade seems to be involved in some kind of weird spell. Even Xu Jing, who usually keeps basketball in his hands, often turns around to borrow notes with his collar trembling in the wind.

This scene was a bit like a battle of strong men, with more than 40 black heads on their heads, He Wen showed a long-lost kindness.

Although the school does not advocate the learning method of cramming, it is better to be willing to learn than not to learn, so in order to encourage them to get a result that matches the result of their current efforts in the final exam, He Wen resolutely took part in a certain class meeting. It is solemnly announced that the one-hour self-study time will be extended.

The low-pitched humming of cicadas outside had the same helplessness as the students in the classroom who opened their mouths but dared not speak out. They could only chirp quietly, doing useless resistance.

The seat by the window was covered by a large amount of sunlight, and someone who was careless had covered the entire window with newspapers to block the light. The side facing the corridor was the social news of a school teacher corporal punishment of a student who was jointly reported to the Education Bureau by parents. .

He Wen tore off the newspaper and threw it into the trash can in the classroom in a ball. She inspected the crowd and said, "If you have any opinions, you can raise them. We don't engage in authoritarianism. We are very democratic."

Xu Jing was eager to try, and the words of rebuttal came to his lips, but when he met He Wen's eyes, he instinctively changed into a smiling expression, and said cheaply: "Our opinion is Lao Ban's decision, Lao Ban is wise .”

The whole class was already immune to Xu Jing's flattery, and refused to even reward him with the word "cut".

This kind of "unreasonable" mandatory requirement was difficult for them to accept at first, but once they got used to it, they would adapt quickly. In less than a week, they would habitually take out the paper after the bell rang after the last class. The test papers began to be written, Tianyan didn't believe what He Wen said, and even secretly caught him in the back of the classroom a few times, but they all came back in failure.

Only midterm and final exams are recorded on the school's ranking list.Rankings in the weekly exam Every class teacher has a long "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival" but this thing is not circulated among the students.

Gu Zhi's last monthly chemistry exam was seriously delayed, and his single subject score was actually five points lower than the class average.He secretly looked at He Wen's "Surfing the River During the Qingming Festival" if he didn't look at the total score, but only chemistry, and he was ranked outside the top [-].

Pushing forward 200 people, Jiang Chu's name is impressively ranked at the top, the number one that has remained unchanged for thousands of years, leaving No.2 by a few dozen points.

Gu Zhi has never been rubbed in his studies since he was a child. When he was a child, the teacher praised him for his good brain, and he felt the same way. He could solve the same problem in an hour that others could understand in one night.

But it is rare for Jiang Chu to be so outstanding in everything.

He is not so competitive that he insists on competing with someone for the first place, but this feeling of being number one right next to him while he is hovering in the bottom makes every muscle in his body stretched and uncomfortable.

That monthly exam was like quietly closing a wooden door that was not completely opened. I thought it was just a small mistake, and I would come back later, so his name would still be among the best, but the next two small exams , he was still going back and forth among more than 100 people. This class seemed to have fallen into a strange chessboard and was manipulated.

If this kind of useless work is done too much, it will somewhat wear down the morale of the young people.

I don't know if it was affected by his magnetic field, but the whole class was on the low side in this chemistry test. Except for Jiang Chu, who has not been affected for thousands of years, none of the more than forty people in the second class was spared.

Of course, besides them, there is also the teacher who is most anxious.

He Jia and the others said that this teacher, who always smelled of chemicals, was a specially hired teacher at Nanchuan No. [-] Middle School. In other words, "he is very capable."

I have a lot of ability but I also stumbled, can I not worry about it?

Gu Zhi looked at the score on the upper right corner of the test paper, then glanced at the score on Jiang Chu's test paper, crumpled up the test paper and stuffed it into the desk in a bit of depression.

Jiang Chu was attracted by his movement, glanced sideways, and vaguely guessed what was going on.

But this cold-faced master has never been able to keep up with his IQ in EQ, so which pot can't be opened and which pot to lift: "Did you fail the test again?"

Gu Zhi: "..."

This word is like a sharp knife soaked in salt water, Gu Zhi was stabbed, and said in his heart, he donated his mouth if he couldn't speak.

With a vague "hmm", he took out a collection of chemistry problems from his desk and wrote it down.

Jiang Chu stared at the set of wrong questions for a while and said, "This book is too difficult, it's not suitable for you."

At certain times, Jiang Chu was completely incapable of reading people's faces, and he didn't think too much about his words.

If it were someone else who would have started working with him long ago, fortunately, although Gu Zhi was a little annoyed because he failed the exam, he also knew that Jiang Chu was kind enough to remind him.

But even if he knew that he meant well, he was still a little upset. If Xu Jing had said it, he would have said, "Awesome, you can chew such a difficult book."

This is the way to express good intentions.

Seeing that Gu Zhi didn't say a word, Jiang Chu said again: "Show me your test paper, and I'll see what mistakes you made."

Gu Zhi stopped his paws that were about to reach out: "Don't worry about it, I still have to answer questions."

"This exam is actually not difficult. Lao Zhang has sorted out the basic knowledge of the exam content. The last big question appeared in the last final exam. As long as you don't confuse the steps..."

Gu Zhi was in a bad mood and listened to nonsense again. He felt a little irritable and wanted him to shut up. However, as soon as he raised his head, Jiang Chu thought he had listened to his words, and chased after him: "Give me the test paper, I'll give it to you." help....."

"Aren't you bothering me? Why do you want my test paper after you got full marks?" He slapped his pen on the table, moved the chair, and moved the table a short distance away. "Chuhe Hanjie" Gu Zhi said angrily, "Don't mess with me again."

After finishing speaking, he buried his head and picked up the pen on the table again to continue writing the question.

Xu Jing, who was awakened by the sound of him moving the table and chairs, looked back in a daze to see such a scene.

Jiang Chu stared blankly at the inexplicably vacant aisle, and looked innocently at the person who knocked on the question. He stared for a while at a loss, and then heard the sound of Xu Jing's index finger tapping on his table. Ri came to his senses.

Xu Jing pointed to Gu Zhi's head that was still writing the questions and asked him in a low voice, "Did you fail the exam?"

Jiang Chu froze for a moment, then nodded blankly.The two "again" words made Gu Zhi uncomfortable for the whole class.

As soon as school was over, he rushed out of the classroom with the bell ringing, for fear of staying a second longer and being asked questions and losing face.

In fact, it’s not all because of this. After all, the whole grade failed the exam this time. The main reason is that he felt that Jiang Chu’s stick might speak out loud again. Sprinkling it on others, with Jiang Chu's temper, he had to coax him if he really angered him, he didn't think he could have the energy.

So for the first time in his life, Gu Zhi, who had always had to solve problems, had the behavior of evasion, and the result of his behavior was more enjoyable than he imagined.

Xu Jing listened to the movement in the back seat, and when he turned around, Gu Zhi had already disappeared.

"Damn, there is a dog chasing you, running so fast?"

Jiang Chu: "..."

"Hey." Xu Jing said to Jiang Chu and Li Mao while packing his schoolbag, "Is he in love?"

"No way." Li Mao denied it half-believingly, and felt that there was no strong evidence, so he looked at Jiang Chu: "You usually get close to him, do you know that?"

Jiang Chu answered truthfully: "I don't know."

Xu Jing immediately became interested, and leaned down to the back row to analyze: "He has been running away as soon as school is over recently. He must have gone on a date. These few exams are not satisfactory, and he is easy to get angry. It seems that love is not going well. affect learning."

He thinks that everything is in line with what he thinks is the expression of broken love, and Jiang Chu almost believes what he said.

"Besides, yesterday I saw the literary and art committee member of Class [-] bring him juice, maybe it was her." Afraid that the other two would not believe it, Xu Jing gave an example.

Jiang Chu knew about delivering the juice, he was in the playground at the time.

The literature and art committee member of Class [-] that Xu Jing mentioned was a handsome girl with ponytails. She was pushed in front of Gu Zhi by several people at that time. Jiang Chu."

Jiang Chu was not far from them at the time, and witnessed this incident. At that time, he turned around and left when he heard this sentence. Later, Gu Zhi caught up with him and said with a smile: "You are just on the sidelines. Dare to give it to you personally, and even say that I like you, so it can be seen... it's fake"

"Whoever said falling in love will affect study." Li Mao interrupted Jiang Chu's thoughts with one sentence: "Look at the class monitor and school committee of class seven, their grades have always been the first in their class, isn't it all the motivation of love. "

Before Jiang Chu could react, their topic had already risen from whether Gu Zhi was in love to whether falling in love would affect his studies.

Xu Jing said unceremoniously: "Really? You don't want to be with the monitor..."

"Get out." Li Mao rubbed Xu Jing's head, and unavoidably glanced at Cui Wenjun, who was smiling facelessly from the corner of his eye, and then he picked up his schoolbag and exited the group chat.

"I'm right, I'm sorry." Xu Jing said to Li Mao's back: "I also want to win the first place with the goddess, but God doesn't give the goddess a chance."

......

Jiang Chu accurately found the key point from Xu Jing's useless nonsense, and cautiously probed: "Does falling in love affect study?"

Xu Jingyue didn't expect that Jiang Chu would be interested in this topic, so he immediately ran to the back seat with his schoolbag in his hand to talk about it: "This division, if you're at your level, sex won't affect your grades."

Just as Jiang Chu was about to ask what it meant to roll the sheets, he saw He Jia throw a ruler at Xu Jing: "Xu Jing, are you disgusting?"

Jiang Chu seemed to understand a little bit later.

Xu Jing took the ruler and shrank his head. After He Jia turned back, Xu Jing said again: "See, tigress, you must never marry this kind of girl, she loses her temper every now and then, and you can spend all your energy just coaxing her." .”

Jiang Chu felt that Xu Jing was a stick, and there was nothing to discuss with him, so he answered vaguely twice.

Xu Jing talked eloquently for a while, but was called away by boys from other classes, and Jiang Chu fell silent again.

He is not good at coaxing people, in the past it was Gu Zhi who coaxed him, and he was not really angry with Gu Zhi, so he would follow Gu Zhi's steps.

So far in his life, there has never been anyone he needs to bother coaxing, and he himself has never felt the real treatment of being coaxed in the process of growing up, so that for a while, he was a little at a loss.

Gu Zhi was angry for the first time. He couldn't figure out the extent of the other party's anger, but he couldn't bear to ask for peace in person. Maybe he didn't think there was anything wrong with him at all, so he could only try to find it from an encyclopedia on his phone. Looking for answers, but the entries that appear in the search results are all "what to do when my boyfriend is angry?" "how to coax my girlfriend when she is upset?"

The ruler is short, but the inch is long. This top student, who has always occupied the top of the school's grade ranking list, doesn't even know how to reconcile. He stared at the phone and finally found a little inspiration from the last sentence.

[In short, use your own strengths to be sincere, and the other party will feel it. 】

strengths...

What are his strengths?

Apart from long legs, Jiang Chu's other strength is learning.

He found the chemistry test paper that was crumpled up by Gu Zhi.

The score is not impressive, but not too bad.

Jiang Chu stared at the numbers in the corner of the test paper and said in his heart, he is not usually the person who cares about scores so much, what happened this time?

What Jiang Chu didn't know was that Gu Zhi really didn't care about the score that much, but that didn't mean he didn't feel it, especially the disappointment that he didn't get the reward he deserved after he had realized the problem and put in a lot of effort for it. , It’s like looking at a certain item in the window with joy, and finally got enough money to buy it when the boss told me it was out of stock.

Jiang Chu didn't know if his method was useful, but compared to Gu Zhi giving up on himself, spending an hour or two to explain and analyze, comparing the two sides, seemed worthwhile.
