Friday afternoon.
Normally, at this time of year, no one feels anything because there is no holiday the next day, Saturday, and everyone goes to class as usual, so what is there to feel?
But today was different. In the last class, geography teacher Liu Minchao was giving a lecture at the podium. It was fine at the beginning, but in the last few minutes before the end of the get out of class, everyone started to get a little restless, so restless that some people even started talking in low voices.
"Fuck, I'm already getting nervous, what should I do? I feel my hands shaking all the time, and I can't get any feedback. It's so annoying!"
"Why are you so nervous? It's just an exam. What are you afraid of? Just treat it as a small test. Close your eyes, pick up a pen, and write it down!"
"No buddy, I really can't treat this as a quiz. This is too big a deal. I'm really panicking!"
.......
"It's over, it's over. I just tried to recall it, and I found that I have forgotten all the texts I memorized. I can't remember a single word. What should I do for the Chinese test tomorrow? If there is any problem with Chinese, the head teacher will eat me alive!"
"Haha, then you're done. The homeroom teacher teaches Chinese. If you have problems with Chinese, it will be a lot of fun. You want to run away after offending the homeroom teacher? When the results come out, I will definitely call your parents!"
"Fuck you, stop gloating over someone else's misfortune and help me figure out a solution. What should I do?"
"How about you prepare a cheat sheet?"
"Are you fucking crazy? I asked you to help me find a solution, not to give me some bad ideas! Why would I cheat on a mock test? It's not the college entrance exam! Besides, even if it's the college entrance exam, you can't cheat. The risk is too great!"
...
...
If it was any other time, when the sound came from under the podium, the geography teacher Liu Minchao, who had a somewhat impatient temper, might have thrown away the chalk, turned around and started scolding.
However, this time, Liu Minchao might have known what topic the students below the podium were discussing, and he also knew that these students were saying these things only because they were a little nervous about the upcoming exam.
Thinking that there was only a few minutes left in the class and there was not much to say, Liu Minchao considerately threw away the chalk and planned to end the rest of the class. He planned to have a good chat with his students and comfort them.
However, Liu Minchao's action was not considered a good deed in the eyes of students.
The picture presented in the students' eyes was that the always somewhat impatient Teacher Liu turned around and looked at them with a cold face, throwing down the chalk in his hand. This was a sign of the coming storm, a sign of attacking them!
Liu Minchao noticed that the atmosphere under the podium suddenly stagnated. He thought that the students were giving him face and waiting for him to speak, and he suddenly felt a little complacent.
It seems that these students respect me quite a bit.
Liu Minchao smiled and asked, "Just now, were you discussing tomorrow's exam?"
Hearing that Teacher Liu did not reprimand them, but took the initiative to ask about the topic they had just discussed, everyone looked at each other quietly for a few seconds, and then nodded cautiously, "Yes, Teacher Liu, everyone is a little nervous."
Hearing the quiet reply from below, Liu Minchao didn't care. He still smiled and nodded, and then comforted, "Actually, you don't have to be nervous at all. Although the difficulty of this exam is comparable to the college entrance examination, your strength is enough to cope with this exam."
Listening to Liu Minchao's words of comfort that were not really comforting, and watching Teacher Liu trying to come up with clumsy words to comfort everyone, although everyone felt it was useless, they also felt a wave of warmth in their hearts.
Liu Minchao's words of comfort were not only heard by the students. Outside the classroom, Zhou Yu, who had just arrived at the stairs outside the classroom, also heard Liu Minchao's words.
...
...
Since none of the head teachers will be in the school to supervise the exam tomorrow, everyone has come up with the idea of coming to the classroom to talk to the students before the last class is over. Even if they cannot impart any useful experience, at least they can give them some comfort and ask them to try not to be nervous.
Zhou Yu thought so too.
So, with just a few minutes left before the last class ended, he had already arrived at the stairs outside the classroom early, and while waiting for the bell to ring, he talked to everyone before the students left.
But after hearing that Liu Minchao, the teacher of the last class, was no longer teaching and was helping him comfort the students, Zhou Yu felt that there was no need to wait until the get out of class was over before entering the classroom.
So, after tidying up the hem of his clothes and adjusting his collar, Zhou Yu strode into the main entrance.
Liu Minchao was talking in the classroom. When he saw Zhou Yu appear at the door, he was stunned for a moment, then he realized that Zhou Yu came here to talk about something about tomorrow's exam.
Seeing Zhou Yu smiling at him, Liu Minchao also smiled. After nodding to Zhou Yu as a greeting, he immediately turned around and joked with the students below, "I told you not to be nervous. Look, there are people who are more nervous than you."
As he said that, he took the initiative to pack up the textbooks and prepared to leave. "Then I won't interfere. Your teacher Zhou will tell you what to do next."
After saying that, Liu Minchao picked up his textbook and left the classroom.
After watching Liu Minchao leave, Zhou Yu walked up to the podium and looked at the still immature faces of the students who had been with him day and night for three months, and he couldn't help feeling deeply moved.
"Are you all nervous?" Zhou Yu asked directly.
“A little bit!”
"nervous!"
"I'm not nervous teacher!"
Everyone said they were nervous, but there was an unusually conspicuous voice in the crowd saying that they were not nervous.
"Gong Jinkang, don't be nervous. When the results come out, if you didn't do very well, ask your dad to come to the school!" Zhou Yu made a joke with a smirk, which immediately made the others below the podium burst into laughter.
However, Gong Jinkang, the 'culprit', shrank his neck when he heard this and dared not say anything more, for fear that if he opened his mouth again, Teacher Zhou would really call his parents.
After this battle, the unintentional cooperation between Zhou Yu and Gong Jinkang eased the tense atmosphere in the classroom a lot.
Zhou Yu saw that everyone was much more relaxed, nodded secretly, and then continued, "I know everyone is a little nervous!"
"Indeed, if I were sitting here, I would definitely be nervous. Because apart from the fact that the results this time will not really be like the college entrance examination, representing the string of numbers that will ultimately determine your life or death, this exam is no different from the real college entrance examination!"
Seeing the students below looking at him in surprise, Zhou Yu changed the subject and said, "But what I want to say is that there is no need to be nervous!"
"You may not know it yet, but I know that you are terribly strong now!"
