What if you were my student?
The mid-term exam is approaching, the university's exams are not difficult, most teachers will highlight the key points in advance, so the two days before the exam are a good opportunity for "the successors of the motherland" to show their high-pressure temporary work, and the library study rooms are hot spots.
Zhao Shuiguang and his dormitory mates have been playing since the start of school, and without a doubt quickly joined the temporary "Buddha's feet" army.
Zhao Shuiguan usually only attends English classes to take the CET-4 and CET-6 exams, otherwise she just goes there to chat and read magazines. Occasionally when she runs into a teacher, they'll say something interesting and she'll listen. Generally speaking, as long as she takes the exam, it's no problem, but with over 60 points on her score, she dares to take it home to show her mom. I reckon from now on, every week she won't be allowed to go back home.
Tomorrow is the exam of Advanced Mathematics, after a night's discussion with dormitory people, it was decided to book a self-study room tonight and fight to the end.
Then the classmate Yangyang who was on duty that day went to take care of the water supply problem as soon as the lesson was over, and half an hour later, this fiery and impetuous young lady came back from the hot water room with two bottles, muttering to herself.
Yang Yang put down the bottle as soon as she entered the door, rubbed her shoulders and scolded: "Too unrefined! I fetched water, saw many people, so I left the bottle there with Zhang Tingting from next door to buy dinner. When I came back, one of the bottle caps was missing, and the water was still steaming hot... Who do you think did it?..." She scolded for a while.
Everyone in the dormitory burst out laughing, their dormitory was forbidden to boil water by themselves, and they had to go to the hot water room to fetch water. When there were many people, they would leave their bottles there. Every time they passed by, looking at the entrance of a string of colorful hot water bottles was also spectacular.
Everyone's bottle had their name written on it, but it wasn't uncommon to hear that someone's plug had been stolen. The victim would scratch their nose and consider themselves unlucky, then go to the street behind the school gate to buy a wooden plug for 50 cents. Zhao Shuiguan and others often heard about this, but when it happened to people in their own dormitory, they just said something different.
Peng Xiaoxiao looked at the two wooden-headed bottles and said, "What about later? Aren't they all still here?"
Yang Yang was climbing up to bed, stepping on the footboard and saying: "Where did I go? I had a sudden inspiration, secretly pulled out the plug of the bottle next to me and left, what a narrow escape!"
Everyone was stunned and laughed so hard they couldn't breathe. Xu Ying kicked the board on Yang's bed from under the bed and said, "You still have the nerve to talk about others, I bet people in your dorm are scolding you like this right now!"
Zhao Shuiguang was lying on the bed reading a magazine, and murmured: "Alas, when will the injustice be avenged!" Yang Yang quickly threw a pillow at him!
At 7 o'clock in the evening, a group of people gathered their textbooks and notebooks and set off with great fanfare.
Entering the self-study room, oh dear, many people have already arrived, and some even brought their coats and thermoses to prepare for a long battle.
They quietly entered and found a seat in the back row, everyone seriously looked at their books, glanced at each other, and couldn't help but giggle. They whispered to each other from the couple in front of them to the boy next to them, until finally Xu Ying couldn't take it anymore and shouted: "No talking allowed, focus on reading!"
Four people bowed their heads to read, in complete silence.
"After a while, Yang said: 'Everyone, I just want to say one sentence, just one.'"
Zhao Shuiguang was dizzy from being asked about derivatives and, without lifting his head, casually asked: "How long is a sentence?"
It's been a long time
Peng Xiaoxiao muttered: "Three words are so long." She thought to herself, how does Yang still have the energy to play word games with them.
Yang Yang was stunned and after a long time, her face turned red as she said: "I want to ask if anyone else wants to go to the bathroom?"
Zhao Shuiguang was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing while leaning on the table. The whole table of people laughed so hard that those in front kept turning their heads back, affecting the class order!
At that time, we often said that if all the jokes we made were put together, they could be published as a book. After graduation, we lived in different places, but whenever I thought of those jokes, it was like triggering a mechanism called "laughter" on my body, and even when I was alone, I would laugh like a fool in the crowd.
You asked me if this group of lovely girls had taken the exam before, and of course they did.
Later, Zhao Shuiguan appeared in Tan's office with big black eye circles, but unfortunately, Mr. Tan was busy revising exam papers and didn't treat him like a national treasure at all.
Take a closer look, the book is so lightly marked with comments, and the strokes are so simple. It's a pity for their miserable night battle. Zhao Shui Guang is so regretful, he hates himself so much that he wants to kick himself. Isn't there an existing enemy spy here?
She said with a flattering tone: "Teacher Tan, I knew it was worth getting you involved, now we've found the answer."
Who called her a national trade system, from economics to advanced mathematics are mostly female teachers, married ones saw Tan Shumeng and smiled with joy, unmarried ones actively wanted to show off in front of Tan Shumeng, after all who doesn't like beautiful things, let alone Tan Shumeng has an enchanting aura.
Tan Shu Mo put down the red pen, turned around and saw Zhao Shui Guang's small mouth face, raised his hand to pinch her chin and said: "Alright, next time just tell them that Tan Shu Mo's little girlfriend is in their class, trouble you to take care of her, okay?"
Zhao Shuiguan was taken aback for the first time when he clearly stated the relationship between the two, and was frightened by the word "girlfriend", his face turned red as he rushed to the sofa and buried himself.
Tan Shu Mo looked at her as she buried her head in the sofa, revealing bright red earlobes, and smiled as he continued to correct his papers.
He knew the kid was just joking around, and she also knew he wouldn't do anything unprincipled.
After a while, Zhao Shuiguan turned over and said: "I don't want it. Only the things that come from one's own efforts have a sense of accomplishment. My mother also said that I am clever, but the things obtained by being clever are often easy to arouse jealousy, and others will not be convinced. I know that only those who work hard and make efforts together with everyone else can achieve success that is worthy of other people's efforts, and they will also be respected."
Tan Shu Mo has always known that Zhao Shui Guang is a typical two-faced person. Most people's first impression of her is quite good, but in fact, they have all been deceived by her. This child likes to be lazy and lacks perseverance, and she is not the kind of person who works hard with gritted teeth. Fortunately, she is clever and knows how to seize opportunities, which has allowed her to get by smoothly. It seems that university life has also brought her some gains.
Half asleep, without a sound, he put down his pen and walked to the front of the sofa, only to find that the child had already fallen fast asleep. Her bright red lips were slightly pursed, her skin as soft and white as springtime. There were two grey marks under her eyes. As he gazed at her, he couldn't help but feel a sense of joy in his heart. He shook his head, took the coat from the clothes rack and gently covered her with it. He walked back to the desk, closed the window, pulled the curtains, turned on the table lamp, and a circle of yellow light made the small space warm and cozy.
Many years later, I still feel inexplicably satisfied when I recall your curled up sleeping posture.
In the second half of the semester, strange things happened even more frequently. As the year-end approached, Zhao Shuiguan got to know a weird person.
It turns out that Zhao Shuiguan is also a weird person who has never been liked by math teachers since childhood, but is surprisingly favored by Chinese and English teachers, which remains the same even in college.
In the second half of the semester, the school organized foreign teachers to teach classes in order to strengthen English education, and each English teacher selected two or three students from each class to attend.
Zhao Shuiguan was naturally on the list, she thought that English couldn't be learned just by reading texts and explaining grammar, but this foreign teacher class took up her spare time, although her so-called spare time was only two days a week when she could run to Tan Shu Mo to cheat and eat. To give face to the English teacher, Zhao Shuiguan still went obediently.
The teacher named Peter is from Montreal, Canada. When the teacher introduced himself, Zhao Shuiguan's mind wandered slightly, and she suddenly thought of that person.
Peter's class is also interesting, no textbooks are used, they tell jokes or play games.
Today, Peter brought a black cloth bag and mysteriously said he wanted to play a guessing game. There were about 40 students in total, divided into two teams by seat number. Each team sent one person up at a time to feel the object, and after feeling it, they had to describe it in English without saying its name or speaking Chinese, so that the people below could guess. The team that guessed correctly got points, and the winning team received a prize.
Zhao Shuiguang was never a person who liked to be active, and this didn't count as a division, she just wasn't very enthusiastic.
Although everyone's English grades are good, they are still Chinese-style English. When it comes to speaking, they can only stutter out a few words, but the boy next door is extremely arrogant and can guess seven or eight of them every time with just a few words.
Zhao Shuiguang looked up and saw that the boy had thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking somewhat familiar. He seemed to be a spirited child who had grown up with ease since he was young. Just as she was looking at him, the boy turned his head and smiled at their team, looking so pleased with himself that he seemed about to emit smoke.
In fact, the distribution of seats has no requirements, but since ancient times, girls like to squeeze together in a heap, and boys also like to squeeze together in a heap. As a result, the boys' team scores far ahead, and the boys are still loudly talking about war, provoking a group of Xingbie warriors.
Zhao Shuiguang, this idle person didn't want to join the fight at first. When he went up, he touched a small umbrella and thought about slowly giving hints to the girl. He just said a few sentences when that big-eyed boy snatched it away. The man's eyes sparkled as he said: "I got it".
Zhao Shuiguan had no choice but to step down, looking at the person showing her a successful smile. Zhao Shuiguan was not used to seeing people smile like this in her lifetime, and now she's also popular.
It was like eating explosives, and he became serious. The person below said a "circle" and "money", and Zhao Shuiguan immediately raised his hand and said:
The girls' side also became lively, and the score was continuously surpassed. The boys frequently looked over, but Zhao Shuiguan ignored them, thinking that if the lady didn't speak, she thought he was mute.
The last one, PETER said it was very difficult. The boy went up and said it, and everyone looked at him with furrowed brows for a long time. Zhao Shui Guang also furrowed his brow and thought for a long time before hesitantly saying: "one face". Everyone was confused, and after imagining for a while, the boy continued to say: "having nose, mouth without eyes".
Zhao Shuiguang thought about horror movies, with a nose and mouth but no eyes. He really thought of the horror movie he watched during summer vacation, which he found quite boring at the time. It was just an old man wearing a horror mask chopping people with an axe.
She had an epiphany and shouted out: "Mask"
Then I saw that person's face like relieved, PETER later picked up the bag, while saying Zhao Shui Guang ART gave her a piece of candy.
After class, Zhao Shuiguan tore off the wrapping paper, threw the candy into his mouth and walked out.
She was called out by someone and turned around, seeing that boy with big eyes, smiling with a hint of tiger teeth on the right side.
There was once a boy who stood in front of Zhao Shui Guang with a faint smile, and from then on, she was enchanted for three years. The memory of that time slowly penetrated her heart like a gray eggshell with cracked gears. She just stood there dazedly.
The boy said: "At first I didn't even know what it was and got a fright."
He looked at Zhao Shuiguan who was in a daze and thought, "Is this the girl who just answered questions spiritedly in class?"
He waved his hand and said, "Hey, is anyone there?"
Zhao Shuiguang snapped back to reality, looking at the radiant young man with a doll-like face smiling brightly. The person was always smiling with an air of recklessness, and he faintly shifted his gaze, chuckling and saying: "No, I just suddenly thought of it."
I was about to leave when he said: "Our English teacher always says that there's a girl in the first class of International Trade who is particularly clever, now I know who it is."
Zhao Shuiguang was slightly surprised, but after all, being praised still made her happy. However, she didn't know this person, and she had never been good at dealing with unfamiliar boys. She said, "Thank you, see you next time." Then, she turned around and left.
Lowering her head, walking in the campus, stepping on the fallen leaves, making a "rustling" sound, she suddenly remembered that person's life in her heart. That place was famous for its red leaves, but she couldn't imagine how that person had walked through these fallen leaves with such desolation.
Everyone has someone in their heart, who is not a lover and cannot be a friend. As time passes, regardless of whether they like it or not, they will always get used to thinking about you, and then hope everything goes well for you.
In the deep autumn campus, Zhao Shuiguan wrapped his scarf around his neck and said softly: "I hope everything goes well for you."
Look at the watch, today's class is over ahead of schedule, and hurry towards the teacher's office building.
