heavy evening light

As the end of the term was approaching, Xi Nan felt bad after reading the test paper.

He closed the open book, threw the pen aside, looked at Xiang Wanguang who was sitting across from him, and said, "I can't do this anymore."

Xiang Wanguang looked away from the documents that Xi Nan had brought him, glanced at Xi Nan who was just short of the word decadent written on top of his head, and asked him, "What's wrong?"

Xi Nan pointed to the test paper on one side, and said with a sullen face, "The questions are so difficult that I want to curse."

Xiang Wanguang picked up Xi Nan's half-finished test paper, skimmed through the questions, and found that it was indeed much more difficult than the usual exercises in No. [-] Middle School.Xiang Wanguang looked at the last question on the test paper, frowned and said, "Where did you get the test paper?"

"The math teacher gave it to me and told me to practice my hands." Xi Nan slumped on the chair, took a sip of the water that Xiang Wanguang poured for him, "There is a competition during the winter vacation, and he suggested that I sign up for it."

"Ok?"

"It's a competition in the province." Xi Nan explained, "At that time, high schools in various places will sign up to participate, and the number of places for different schools varies, and finally go to the next city for the final."

Xiang Wanguang read the test paper for a while before putting it down.He responded softly, without expressing any further opinions, and only asked him, "Do you want to go?"

Xi Nan squinted at the test paper that made him feel irritable, pursed his lips, and didn't immediately answer Xiang Wanguang's words.If he didn't go, he wouldn't take the test paper and do it.

But in fact, Xi Nan didn't have this idea at first, but Cui Rong said that he and Xiang Wanguang would be separated after the holiday, but Xi Nan was suddenly pleasantly surprised.Although he was studying in Jiangcheng, Xi Yuancheng also bought him a house here, but Xi Nan will definitely not be able to stay here when No. [-] Middle School is over. At that time, even if his parents are still busy, he will be the only one at home. Then he will go back too.

In other words, the holiday means that Xi Nan won't see Xiang Wanguang for a long time.This made Xi Nan more irritable than having to study for the exam.

Xi Nan himself didn't expect that one day he would become so clingy to someone, just thinking of being separated from him for a while, Xi Nan lost all interest in doing anything.

Cui Rong's words made Xi Nan's mood drop to the bottom.He didn't want to read the book, and didn't want to answer Cui Rong's words, so he simply sat there in a daze, thinking about what he would do when the holiday really came.

But fortunately, he had an opportunity before long, so that Xi Nan didn't have to worry about it.The math teacher called him to the office and asked him if he would like to participate in the competition.

At first, Xi Nan didn't want to agree. After all, it was a holiday after all. Who would want to waste their brains on studying.But in the next second, Xi Nan heard from the math teacher that if he went to confirm the registration, he would have to stay in school to participate in the competition class after the final exam, and he would come to attend the cram school in advance after the next year.

The math teacher's words caused Xi Nan to refuse and change the words. He agreed to the math teacher and said he wanted to sign up.Then the math teacher gave him a stack of test papers and asked him to adapt to the difficulty of the competition first.

"I took all the test papers and did it," Xi Nan smiled, raised his eyebrows and asked Xiang Wanguang, "You still ask me if I'm going?"

Xiang Wanguang understood Xi Nan's meaning, smiled and said nothing.After seeing Wan Guang like this, Xi Nan was stunned for a moment before continuing.

This time Xi Nan told the truth.

"The end of the term is coming soon, and the winter vacation will be over as soon as the end of the term is over." Xi Nan stopped, and after a while, he said slowly, "I don't want to be separated from you for too long."

"The school has organized a competition class. Those who sign up will stay for tutoring after the holiday, and they have to come early after the next year." Xi Nan stared at Xiang Wanguang and said, "Such a good condition, of course I will fill in the class with the teacher. registration form."

Xiang Wanguang didn't guess the reason, so he paused when he tapped on the table.

After Xi Nan finished speaking, he was amused. He looked at Xiang Wanguang who was sitting across from him with a normal expression, and he had some bad thoughts, wanting to tease Xiang Wanguang.

"Mr. Xiang Wanguang, you see, I have stayed here for you," Xi Nan boldly stood up as there were only the two of them in the milk tea shop, and approached Xiang Wanguang across the table, smiling He said, "Then do you have to sacrifice your time and stay with me?"

"Well, with you

. "Xiang Wanguang reacted, with a smile on his face again, "I'll be home late, and I'll have plenty of time to accompany you then. "

Xi Nan, who was originally just joking, rolled his eyes and the smile on his face became brighter after hearing Xiang Wanguang's answer.Seeing him like this, Xiang Wanguang also laughed, "The milk tea shop is not busy during the winter vacation, I can prepare delicious food for you and send it to you, so you don't have to go to the cafeteria to eat."

"So good?" Xi Nan walked towards Xiang Wanguang, wanting to sit beside him for a while.

But he was able to move, and Xiang Wanguang stopped him.Xi Nan was puzzled, but stopped as Xiang Wanguang said, and only looked up at Xiang Wanguang, waiting for his answer.

"Sit down." Xiang Wanguang picked up the pen that Xi Nan threw aside, took out a few pieces of draft paper, and pointed to the test paper on the table, "Finish the questions first."

"..." The corner of Xi Nan's mouth twitched, and he suddenly wanted to take out his mobile phone and post a message on Moments, saying that his boyfriend loves studying too much and hinders his relationship, what should I do?

But despite all the complaints in his heart, on the surface Xi Nan still reacted as he should.He looked down at his half-finished test paper, sighed, and resigned himself to get the pen in Xiang Wanguang's hand, "Okay, I'll do it."

But Xiang Wanguang turned his hand away, preventing Xi Nan from successfully getting the pen.

Xi Nan looked at Xiang Wanguang, "???"

"Which question you don't know, let me explain to you." Xiang Wanguang's tone was flat, "Only when you think about it thoroughly can you master the knowledge better."

Xi Nan didn't answer his words, but subconsciously asked Xiang Wanguang, "Do you know it?"

"It's okay." Xiang Wanguang said honestly, "If I have enough time, I can finish it."

Xiang Wanguang's words reminded Xi Nan of a math test not long ago.At that time, the teacher did not notify in advance, and directly asked the department representative to come in with a stack of test papers, saying that there would be an exam at night, which caught the students in the class by surprise.

Xi Nan didn't take it seriously at first, because if he had studied solidly, no matter how the teacher launched a surprise attack, it would not be a problem, and he could handle it.But after seeing the test paper sent by the representative of the department, Xi Nan restrained his carelessness and started to do it seriously.

The test papers that the math teacher asked for were simple and difficult. Some questions could be answered directly, while others required many detours to get a result.If that's the case, it's fine. After all, Xi Nan's class is very theoretical. Although the questions are difficult, the people who should do it can still do it, and there are quite a few people who can do well in the exam.

But at the end there was a big question, not only the score was high, but the question was also difficult, which lowered the average score of the class.Many top students in the class can't write, even if they do, they will get a step point.

Xi Nan was the only one in the class who finished writing. Apart from doing it right, what is even more surprising is that he used two methods.

So after the results came out, the normally unsmiling math teacher called him into the office and chatted with him about the test.The teacher first praised him, saying that Xi Nan had a good idea, and the second solution was much simpler than the reference answer.

Xi Nan listened quietly, but didn't say anything else if he responded.

I don't know how long it took before the math teacher asked him the most relevant question.He asked Xi Nan how he came up with this solution. After all, there are so many mathematicians in a class, and only a few can write.

Xi Nan stared at his test paper that was placed on the table, his eyes flickered, he hesitated for a long time before telling the truth, "I didn't come up with it."

"Ah?" The math teacher was stunned, not expecting such an answer.He stared at Xi Nan, as if to confirm the truth of what he said.

If Xi Nan didn't do it, then this question couldn't have been copied by Xi Nan, right?

"Before this test, I did similar exercises in other places." Xi Nan revealed the answer, "At that time, I only wrote a few steps, and I couldn't write any more."

Xi Nan squinted at the big question at the end of the test paper, moved his eyes to the side, and saw the red number marked by the math teacher next to him, and continued, "At that time, I was sitting next to my...friend, after reading the question, he gave it to me. I explained it once, and then told me a simpler method, so I understood."

The math teacher fell silent after Xi Nan finished speaking.

The best high school in Jiangcheng is No. [-] Middle School. If the person Xi Nan mentioned was studying in No. [-] Middle School, he must have been dug out by the leader of the mathematics team to focus on training him.If he was not in No. [-] Middle School, but was studying in another high school, he should have heard about it after two years of high school.

After thinking for a while, the math teacher finally looked up at Xi Nan again, and asked him, "Is this friend a former classmate?"

Hearing this, Xi Nan subconsciously wanted to refute, saying that it wasn't from his old school, but from a part-time job at a milk tea shop outside No. [-] Middle School.But for some unknown reason, Xi Nan nodded, and replied vaguely, "Yeah."

Although the math teacher didn't tell him directly, Xi Nancha felt that Xiang Wanguang's talent in mathematics was much higher than what he knew.Otherwise, the teacher would not have come to ask specifically.

"You're really good at math." Xi Nan's eyes fell on Xiang Wanguang's answer, and he said with emotion, "If you were in my class, you must be the math teacher's favorite."

"What are you talking about?" Xiang Wanguang replied, and handed the written problem-solving process to Xi Nan for him to read, "Ask me if you don't understand."

"I didn't lie to you, it's all the truth." Xi Nan put the paper handed over to Wanguang aside, didn't read it, but chatted with Xiang Wanguang, "The last question of the math test last time was just me. I wrote it because you told me a similar question.”

Xiang Wanguang smiled and explained, "Usually, I would study some questions in my spare time. I was lucky last time, and the one I encountered was exactly what I knew."

"Humility." Xi Nan stared at Xiang Wanguang and smiled, "Used to be a big math boss at school?"

The smile on Xiang Wanguang's face faded, and he was a little bit reluctant to mention the past, but seeing Xi Nan's curious face, Xiang Wanguang hesitated for a while, and replied, "Junior high school participated in many competitions."

As for the reason for participating in the competition, it is because there are bonuses for winning the competition, which can alleviate the family's financial crisis.

Xi Nan understood it, and went to read the answer written by Xiang Wanguang. The train of thought that he couldn't figure out at all, after reading what Xiang Wanguang wrote, suddenly became enlightened and enlightened.

"Understood?" Xiang Wanguang asked in a low voice, "If you don't fully understand, let's take a look again, don't worry."

Xi Nan looked away, raised his eyes to look at Wan Guang, and thought of the thought that had been hidden in his heart all along.He opened his mouth, hesitating how to talk to Xiang Wanguang so that Xiang Wanguang could accept his proposal.

When Xiang Wanguang saw Xi Nan frowning, he contacted him about what he said just now, and quickly understood what Xi Nan was thinking.He put down his pen, looked at Xi Nan who was sitting across from him with a troubled face, and called his name, "Xi Nan."

Xi Nan, who was still hesitating, heard Xiang Wanguang's voice, and subconsciously responded, "Huh?"

"I know you're doing it for my own good," Xiang Wanguang said through the window, "but my life is good now, and I don't have to think about starting a new choice anymore."

"Study is really good, but I like it better now. Having a job and having you already makes me very satisfied." Xiang Wanguang smiled, rubbed Xi Nan's head and said, "So Nan Nan, don't have to talk to me again in the future School is over."

"The first condition is not allowed," Xiang Wanguang said, "Second, this is not what I want."

Xi Nan originally wanted to say that he could help him, but the second half of Xiang Wanguang's words broke Xi Nan's desire to speak, and he had to swallow the words that came to his lips.

Xi Nan pulled the draft paper aside, started to work on the questions, and stopped talking to Xiang Wanguang.On the other hand, Xiang Wanguang looked at Xi Nan like this, and finally smiled lightly, but his eyes were still a little lonely, but Xiang Wanguang quickly returned to normal, suppressing the emotions in his eyes, and became his usual impeccable expression again. Xiang Wanguang.

Xi Nan did the questions in a muffled voice for a while before he finally calmed down.He put down his pen to look at Xiang Wanguang, changed the subject and said, "How is Auntie doing?"

Xiang Wanguang was slightly taken aback, then quickly smiled and said, "My mother is fine."

"Then..." Xi Nan hesitated, with a drawn-out ending, "What about uncle?"

The last time Xiang Wanguang took Xi Nan back, because the timing was not good, Xi Nan didn't really meet Xiang Wanguang's parents, but staying there for one night, Xi Nan more or less knew something about Xiang Wanguang's parents.

home business.

For example, Xiang Wanguang's father was the key figure in changing the fate of the Xiang family.

Because of Xi Nan's question, Xiang Wanguang's eyes changed slightly, "He's pretty good too."

"That……"

Xiang Wanguang quickly picked up Xi Nan's words and said, "We'll go back next time when we're free, and I'll take you to meet them."

"Okay!" Xi Nan laughed and said with satisfaction, "Don't lie to me."

Xiang Wanguang responded and promised, "I won't lie to you."

He lowered his head and lowered his eyes, reaching for the book Xi Nan brought over, ready to continue reading.But my heart couldn't calm down, and I kept repeating Xi Nan's question just now in my mind.

Although Xiang Wanguang had to go out to work after the senior high school entrance examination due to family problems, he never gave up on his studies and would still set aside a period of time every day to read books and do quizzes. When middle school students came to the milk tea shop, Xiang Wanguang would sit by the side and listen.Or whenever he was free, Xiang Wanguang would go to the Internet cafe to watch learning videos and try to keep up with the progress.

The monthly salary is not high, and after sending some money back to his family, he will save part of the living expenses left by Xiang Wanguang and put it aside.

Over the past two years, Xiang Wanguang has saved a sum of money for himself, just so that he can go back to school when his father recovers from his illness.

However, all of Xiang Wanguang's thoughts were ruthlessly smashed a few months ago.Xiang's father, who was in better condition, suddenly got worse and urgently needed money. He asked his mother to borrow money from relatives, but still lacked a lot. In desperation, he called Xiang Wanguang, asking him to ask a friend for help and borrow some money. money.

Even though Xiang Wanguang had been out for two years, he knew only a few people, so he couldn't find anyone to borrow money from.The only person he could find was Jiang Yueyue, but Xiang Wanguang didn't want to trouble him either.

So in the end, Xiang Wanguang could only take out the money he had saved for two years, and at the same time completely give up his idea of ​​studying.It was also because of this that he tried his best to get into No. [-] Middle School, and told Xi Nan before the exam, let him move forward with his dream.
