Chapter 106
Chapter 106
It was rare to have nothing to do on Sunday. Shen Keyan lay down at home and slept for a whole day. He got up from the bed after four o'clock in the afternoon, made a simple dinner, and went to work in the restaurant.
After returning from work, he played with Yanyan in the living room, and after taking a shower, Shen Keyan lay down on the bed again and fell asleep.
Shen Keyan couldn't tell whether it was the reason why he couldn't sleep peacefully before, or because he had too many part-time jobs and lack of sleep. Since he could remember, he had been particularly lethargic, as if he couldn't get enough sleep, and he often fell asleep when he touched a pillow.
At seven o'clock the next day, Shen Keyan got up at the urging of the alarm. As usual, he sat beside the bed and stared at it for 5 minutes, before walking unsteadily into the bathroom.
The school starts early self-study at 7:40, and it only takes 10 minutes for Shen Keyan to ride a bicycle from where he lives, so unless the rare alarm clock doesn't go off, he is rarely late.
Sometimes he gets up early by accident and has a lot of time, so he will have breakfast at the gate of the community.
At a regular waking time like today, he would usually pass by the bakery to buy a bag of small bread and milk, and take it to school.
Today, there was no milk that Shen Keyan used to drink, so he just bought buns, put them in his schoolbag, and rode to school by bike.
It was just after [-] o'clock in the morning, and the road was full of students wearing school uniforms. There were two rows of discipline inspectors from the student union standing at the school gate, checking whether everyone was wearing school uniforms and school badges.
Just as Shen Keyan rode in from the school gate, an angry voice suddenly came from behind, "Shen Keyan!"
Shen Keyan knew when he was called without turning his head. Sure enough, within two seconds, his bicycle was pulled, and the serious teaching director walked to him.
Shen Keyan was forced to stop the car, looked at the dean, and spoke first to seize the opportunity, "Director, I really didn't fight yesterday."
The director stared at him, "I know, Fujibai told me about it."
Shen Keyan was startled when he heard the words, "Tengbai? When did you tell me?"
"He came over and told me not long after you left that day." The dean quickly took the topic away, "I didn't come to you today to talk about this, I asked your teacher for a few days on the weekend to find out. The situation, they said that you still always sleep in class this semester."
Shen Keyan said truthfully, "Sleepy, Director."
The dean gave him a blank look, "You have already entered the third year of high school. You have been wasting like this for the past two years, so I won't say anything. If you still plan to spend so much time in the third year of high school, I can tell you very bluntly. With your current grades , Let alone undergraduate, you won’t even be able to pass the university entrance exam.”
Shen Keyan looked at the dean and said nothing.
The dean didn't seem to think about what he said, and said to him, "You go to the parking garage first, and then come here. I'll take you to a place."
Shen Keyan raised his hand and looked at his watch. It was already almost [-]:[-], so he kindly reminded the director, "Director, it's time for early self-study."
The director glared at him, "Didn't you go to bed early for self-study? You have the time to sleep, but don't have the time to talk to me? Stop talking nonsense and go to the car."
Shen Keyan had no choice but to park the car obediently. When he came back, the director walked ahead of him and led him to the honor wall in the school building.
There are three boards in the honor wall. On the first board are the photos of the top [-] students in each grade of the school, the name of the class and the monthly exam results.
The second wall is posted with information about students who have won national competitions for the school.
On the top of the third board was written "My Dream" in large characters, and there were dense post-it notes on the bottom. The colorful post-it notes carried the different dreams of different students.
The director stopped in front of the third board, turned his head and asked Shen Keyan, "Do you have a dream?"
This question stopped Shen Keyan.
dream.
Shen Keyan never thought about this word, the word dream seems to be bound together with the matter of liking.
He doesn't have any hobbies, if he has to, he wants to be a rich man.
So he asked the director, "Does it count if you want to be a rich man?"
The director hesitated for three seconds at his answer, and after a while, he tactfully responded, "Of course, but have you ever thought about how to be a rich man?"
Shen Keyan didn't think about it, and didn't have the time to think about it.
The director seemed to want this answer from him, so he got excited immediately, and cut to the topic and said to him, "Reading can change your destiny, have you heard of it?"
He said and brought Shen Keyan to the second board, "Look at them, do you feel anything?"
Shen Keyan looked up at the second board, and before he had time to feel anything, he saw a familiar face.
About [-] or so students’ photos are pasted on the wall. In addition to the class name, all the national awards they have won are also written under the photos of each semester.
Fujibai's photo was posted on the top, and there were many introductions below him, all of which were awards, and the sum of the awards of more than 20 people at the bottom seemed to be equal to his awards.
The photos posted on the wall were taken by the whole school when they entered the first year of high school. Shen Keyan has an impression, because for about a week at that time, he could hear voices complaining about the ugly photos taken by the school wherever he went.
However, the word ugly has nothing to do with Tengbai. In the photo, Tengbai's face from two years ago still has a bit of childishness, and his cheeks are a little fleshier than now. He still looks expressionless when looking at the camera, but he still looks good. People can't move their eyes.
The director saw that Shen Keyan was really staring at the wall of honor and looked at it seriously, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
He began to be persuasive, "Let's not talk about you, even our teachers will be envious and pleased when they see these children, but are these children given so many honors by God? Of course not, they must have paid a lot of other things behind their backs." Take Fujibai from your class as an example of the effort that people don’t put in.”
As the director said, he led Shen Keyan to the first board, and then pointed to the grade of Fujibai on the board,
Shen Keyan looked in the direction pointed by the director, and found that on the wall where the grades were posted, Teng Bai's photo was also posted first.
In the achievement office pointed by the director, the three numbers "742" are shining brightly,
"With a perfect score of 750, Fujibai can reach above 740 almost every time. It is true that he may be smarter than ordinary people, but he has put in much more effort behind the scenes than others. He is alone in his first year of high school. After self-studying all the courses, he has to do two sets of papers for each subject every week since the second year of high school.
The director was a little excited when he spoke, and his speech speed was much faster, "I tell you this mainly to express to you that hard work is really useful. When you first got into this school, your score was not low. If you study hard in [-], you won't be able to get the grade you are now."
Shen Keyan looked away from Teng Bai's photo, looked at the director, and said in a playful tone, "Director, I understand the truth."
The director choked, and seemed to have something to say, then he held back, glared at Shen Keyan and said, "I knew, if you had listened to me earlier, I wouldn't have messed with you from the first year of high school to the third year of high school. I also thought about it and planned to give you some encouragement. There will be four exams from now until the end of the exam, as long as you can improve by [-] points in each exam, I will cancel the punishment you received in the first year of high school."
When Shen Keyan heard the word "punishment", he was stunned for a moment, not remembering it.
It was a moment before he remembered it.
There was a three-school joint exam in the first year of senior high school. At that time, students from other schools came to their school to take the exam.
On the first day of the exam, Shen Keyan beat up a student from Lin'an High School next door. He hit him so hard that he knocked out a tooth.
At that time, there were a lot of onlookers, and hundreds of pairs of eyes actually saw Shen Keyan beating someone. The school tried to protect him, but he couldn't get it. In addition, the director later called Shen Keyan to the Academic Affairs Office to ask him why he beat someone. He didn't say anything, but in the end, in order to explain to the school next door and to warn other students, the school recorded a major demerit for him.
After the director finished speaking, he patted Shen Keyan on the shoulder and said to Shen Keyan, "I have always believed that you are a kind child, and I have always felt that you are not unwilling to forge ahead but just lack such an opportunity."
He said, and sighed again, "If you have money...or have any problems at home, you can ask teachers or schools for help. There are many policies that give preferential treatment to poor students. You don't have to put so much pressure on yourself. As a student, the main task of a student is to study, and leave the rest to the adults.”
Then the director muttered a few more words and let Shen Keyan go.
It was almost eight o'clock when Shen Keyan returned to class, and the corridors were filled with the voices of students endorsing books from the classroom.
Shen Keyan entered Class 6 of Senior Three through the back door, and a few whispering classmates in the back row quickly looked towards the back door. After seeing that it was Shen Keyan who came in, they all breathed a sigh of relief and turned their heads to continue whispering to their deskmates.
Shen Keyan's seat was in the second-to-last row by the window. When he was walking to his seat, he suddenly noticed the person in the last row by the window, and his footsteps paused.
Sitting in the last row by the window is Teng Bai, right behind Shen Keyan's position.
Shen Keyan didn't pay attention to this matter.
Their school will change seats once a month in the exam. Usually after a month, except for the deskmates who must meet, Shen Keyan basically has no impression of who is sitting around.
The current seat was changed after the school exam started, and it was only a week, so Shen Keyan would not be impressed.
However, he only paused for a moment, and quickly walked towards his position again.
His deskmate was a boy wearing glasses. He probably noticed him coming from the corner of his eye, so he got up consciously and made room for him.
When Shen Keyan walked in, he glanced at Teng Bai.
There is an English book in front of Fujibai, holding a red pen in his hand, he looks like he is reciting the book with his head down, and occasionally writes two annotations.
Shen Keyan's gaze swept across Teng Bai, and when he walked to his seat and looked away, and was about to sit down, Teng Bai, who was engrossed in reciting books, suddenly raised his head and looked at him.
The eyes of the two people collided in an instant.
Shen Keyan thought for a moment, then raised his hand to greet Teng Bai.
Fujibai also nodded to him, responded to his greeting, then lowered his head, and continued to recite the book.
Seeing this, Shen Keyan also sat in his seat.
After sitting down, he stuffed his schoolbag into the drawer, then took out last week's homework as usual, spread it on the table, and took out the small bread and put it on the table together.
Just when he was going to do his homework while eating bread, he suddenly found that the seat beside him was still empty, and his deskmate was still standing by the table.
He looked up and found that his deskmate was looking at him with a shocked expression, as if he could stuff an egg into his mouth.
And the moment he raised his eyes, he caught sight of Tengbai's deskmate from the corner of his eye. Tengbai's deskmate was at another table across the aisle, and several people looked at him in the same style in shock.
He was about to take the bread, but seeing that his deskmate still didn't seem to want to sit down, he asked, "What's the matter?"
His sound seemed to call his deskmate back to his soul, and the deskmate shook his head quickly, as if he was a little scared of him, and didn't dare to read any more, sat down, picked up the textbook and began to memorize.
Shen Keyan didn't care either, he took out a small bread from the bread bag, and began to write homework for last Friday while eating.
It's only been a week since school started, and there aren't many homework yet.
But for Shen Keyan, how much is just a matter of effort, after all, he can scribble about nine out of ten questions.
However, Shen Keyan didn't write a few questions today, so what the director said just now flashed through his mind involuntarily.
In the year when his mother just passed away, there were still relatives in the family.
Those relatives comforted him and said to him, "Xiao Yan, you must study hard and live well, so that your mother will not be disappointed when she sees it in the sky, and your father will not be so sad anymore."
Shen Keyan was not bad at studying, but after hearing those words, he studied harder.
Later, his father's alcoholism became more and more serious, he lost his job, stayed at home drinking all day long, began to drink madly, and began to borrow money everywhere, and those relatives gradually cut off contact with their family.
No one told him to study hard anymore, but he has already learned the habit and is still studying hard,
In the year before the junior high school entrance examination, Shen Keyan's father's alcohol addiction became worse than ever.
Shen Keyan later found out that that year was the [-]th anniversary of his father and his mother's acquaintance, but he didn't know it at that time.
At that time, he only knew that his father would break things at home when he was drunk, and sometimes he would lie on his door and knock on his door vigorously, asking him why he was born.
In the six months before the high school entrance examination, Shen Keyan didn't have a good night's sleep, and his grades plummeted. Even the day before the examination room, he almost missed the examination because he couldn't sleep.
Shen Keyan didn't know if his mother was happy in the sky these years, he only knew that his father was only sad every year, and he was getting more and more tired.
Sometimes he felt that he was like a cicada chrysalis trapped in the cicada silk, and he would never turn into a butterfly.
He was blindfolded and couldn't see anything, and it was impossible for anyone else to carry the burden on his shoulders.
Up to now, he just tried his best not to bury his head in the ground like his father did.
That's it.
Shen Keyan was in a trance for twenty minutes without knowing it, and he didn't come back to his senses until the bell rang for the end of get out of class.
The surroundings suddenly became lively, and the people who were serious about endorsing the book just a second ago began to chat, and there were people who went to the bathroom and people who fetched water.
Shen Keyan took a deep breath, put down his pen, and looked out the window.
When I turned my gaze, I suddenly noticed the image reflected in the mirror in front of me.
In the picture, Teng Bai, who was sitting behind him, was not reading a book, but was looking straight ahead, his gaze seemed to be on him.
Shen Keyan was startled for a moment, then turned to look at Teng Bai.
Then he discovered that Fujishiro was indeed looking at him, but it wasn't him, but...
Shen Keyan followed Teng Bai's line of sight uncertainly, and felt that 80.00% of Teng Bai was looking at the bag of buns on his table.
So he turned his head and asked Fujishiro, "Have you had breakfast?"
Fujibai looked at him and shook his head.
Seeing this, Shen Keyan took the bag of bread over and asked Teng Bai, "Then do you want to eat this?"
As he expected, Fujibai glanced at the bread, then nodded, and said "thank you" again.
A smile floated in Shen Keyan's eyes, and he took out a small bun from the bag and handed it to Teng Bai.
Fujibai took it, said "thank you" again, put it to his mouth and started eating.
At the same time, the classroom, which was still extremely noisy just now, fell silent in an instant.
Dozens of people in the entire classroom looked in the direction of the two in unison, all with the same shocked expression.
