Chapter 177
Jian Li stood up resignedly, her whole body filled with a faint sense of death.
——She forgot to bring her textbook this morning!
Gu Hong quietly moved her book to the middle. Feng Baobao didn't say anything, but also leaned back and spread out his textbook.
Jian Li was extremely grateful to her two roommates for their timely help.
She managed to recall what she had written by relying on the notes on it and finished her answer quickly.
Tao Xingjian on the stage took in everything that was going on below, and finally nodded: "Sit down."
Jian Li sat down and breathed a sigh of relief.
The girl in the front row gave me a look that was sympathetic and a little envious.
Feng Baobao frowned and said, "I thought you were late, so there must be something wrong with that."
I was called up early in the morning to answer questions. If I don't answer well, won't I be deducted points?
Jian Li covered her face: "How would I know..."
Amid Tao Xingjian's orderly lecture, Jian Li, who had just recovered, felt inexplicably sad and angry.
No such thing!
She secretly glared at Tao Xingjian on the stage and thought, if this person always picked her to answer questions, she would...she would complain to Cheng Yu!
Fortunately, Tao Xingjian treated everyone equally. Different from Lao Dingtou’s teaching style, Tao Xingjian always asked questions after talking for a while.
At the end of the class, although Tao Xingjian spoke slowly, he spoke for a full hour and a half and asked questions to more than a dozen students.
The bell rang and he put away the book.
"We will do group work in the next class. The monitors will determine the groups. Group work accounts for half of the normal score. Please treat it carefully."
There was a great uproar in the audience, and the girls who had just had their eyes full of joy could no longer bear it.
"...Do we have to do group work in political science class?"
"Why?"
"It would be better to return Old Dingtou!"
…
Tao Xingjian had already walked to the door. He turned around when he heard the words. His black sweater made his shoulders look broader and his legs longer as he turned around.
"By the way, I don't take roll calls, but I also don't highlight points before the end of the semester."
Everyone: …
Tao Xingjian's behavior caused everyone's evaluation of him to drop from 80 points to 60 points.
What’s the point of having good looks!
Not as good as Lao Dingtou!
Only Feng Baobao showed joy on his face: "It should have been done long ago."
Jian Li and Gu Hong: …
He quickly pulled Feng Baobao away, fearing that she would be beaten.
******
Tao Xingjian had a busy day. It was graduation season for him this year and he had been busy with his job internship. However, Teacher Ding, who had helped him a lot, had an accident, so he had to take time out to return to school to substitute for a teacher.
I am too busy as a substitute teacher, and the office is full of trivialities.
Tao Xingjian returned home only when the moon was at noon.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw the lights in the living room were on.
His younger sister Cheng Yu was waiting for him with her arms folded, looking angrily.
Tao Xingjian put down his heavy backpack, took off his coat and asked, "It's so late, why aren't you sleeping yet? I remember your class schedule is 8 a.m. tomorrow, right?"
Cheng Yu said angrily: "I'm waiting for you to come back."
Prosecutor Tao: "Oh, what's the matter?"
He changed his shoes and picked up a soft sweater to put on. After a hard day's work and not having eaten much at night, Tao Xingjian tied on an apron and prepared to make some midnight snack.
Cheng Yu chased after him like a little tail, and after enduring for a long time, she said, "Why did you tell Mom that I can't handle school relations well?"
Tao Xingjian turned around and picked up a scallion.
Cheng Yu pursed her lips: "I have obviously dealt with it, and I am living happily in the dormitory. If you tell mom about it, she will worry about me again and think I am too stupid..."
Tao Han passed by Beijing today for a meeting and went to the Polytechnic University to visit his daughter.
Before leaving, he spoke to Cheng Yu in a serious and earnest manner, advising her to handle her relationships with classmates carefully, and that if she couldn't handle it, she could seek guidance from her family.
Although Cheng Yu was happy about her parents' love and care for her, she also felt awkward.
She is already in college, but she still makes her parents worry about such a child.
It must be my brother who secretly reported it!
Cheng Yu was snorting angrily, like a bloated little puffer fish.
Seeing his sister so angry, Tao Xingjian suddenly reached out and ruffled her hair.
Cheng Yu: ...
“What are you doing!!”
Cheng Yu went to fix her hair angrily, looking at her annoying brother with a face full of resentment.
Tao Xingjian: "I didn't tell you about your problems at school. I just told you the truth when Mom asked where you live now. Or maybe you forgot... Mom's classmate is a teacher in your department?"
In fact, Cheng Yu never told him what happened to her at school.
Cheng Yu stopped talking.
After a while, he said aggrievedly: "Actually, I really handled it."
After Jian Li told her, she stopped socializing with her roommates at school. If that nosy girl approached her to do something together again, Cheng Yu would refuse without hesitation.
If you refuse too many times, the other party will of course cry and blame you.
"You don't like me anymore, do you? I know I'm useless. You are all so independent, but I am the only one who always misses home. I'm too weak, so you don't like me and distance yourself from me..."
This was the first time Cheng Yu encountered such a situation.
But after a flurry of activity, she remembered Jian Li's words.
Don't be a blood bag.
It is necessary to do a good job of separating the topics.
She is neither her roommate's parent nor her friend. They are just ordinary classmates who get together by chance and live in the same room temporarily for the purpose of studying.
The other party's accusations seemed reasonable, but in fact, she left her parents to study, and she couldn't deal with her emotions because of herself.
Cheng Yu tried hard to cheer himself up, his voice trembling, but he still expressed his meaning firmly.
"I have my own things to do, so don't cry."
This sentence is still a bit ridiculous, but it is the limit of what Cheng Yu can achieve.
After she finished speaking, she secretly hid away and shed two tears.
Fortunately, after I really expressed my rejection, the girl stopped talking to me when she saw me, but I didn't look for her anymore.
Cheng Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
The relationship between the other people in the dormitory and her became much more harmonious, except for that girl.
The other party went in and out, and every time he saw Cheng Yu, he turned his head away, as if he had been hurt by Cheng Yu in some way.
Cheng Yu's other roommates comforted her: "Don't bother with her. She has been getting close to girls from other dormitories recently."
That girl is similar to Cheng Yu, both of them look easy to talk to.
Cheng Yu has been in a bad mood recently and doesn't want to go back to the dormitory to see the other party, so he has been staying at home.
When Tao Xingjian heard his sister whispering what happened at school, his expression became complicated.
"Did Jian Li teach you all this?"
Cheng Yu nodded: "Xiao Li told me that if I don't change, then my four years in college will be bound by this person's blood sucking, and I won't be able to accomplish anything."
Cheng Yu shuddered when she heard this, as it reminded her of the leeches she had seen in textbooks.
How could this seemingly gentle classmate absorb her life like this?
But Jian Li didn't seem to be pretending, and Cheng Yu trusted his friend unconditionally.
Tao Xingjian let out a long sigh. Not only did his parents regret it, but he also regretted it.
From childhood to adulthood, they owed Cheng Yu too much.
As a result, my sister has developed such a personality now.
"Jane Li is right."
After saying this, Cheng Yu's eyes lit up.
"You also think Xiaoli is right, right?"
No matter how much she said she hated her brother, Cheng Yu still regarded him as the direction and role model for her efforts.
After receiving her brother's affirmation, she immediately forgot all the bad feelings she had just had and said happily, "I said Xiaoli is great, she is so smart!"
Tao Xingjian: …
This silly girl, it’s a relief that she met a good friend, otherwise she would have been sold out long ago!
Cheng Yu even followed behind Tao Xingjian and kept talking about how amazing Jian Li was.
"She's good at drawing, and you don't know, she's very pretty. Our classmate scolded her back then, but later confessed to her when we graduated. Do you know what she said?"
Tao Xingjian paused as he was peeling potatoes. "What?"
Cheng Yu cleared her throat: "Hurt and love cannot cancel each other out. It's his business if he likes it."
Cheng Yu's eyes sparkled: "Don't you think she's great?"
For Cheng Yu, who never dared to refuse anyone, these words were like a bolt from the blue.
It turns out that to be liked by others, you don’t necessarily have to like others. You don’t necessarily have to feel guilty about rejecting others…
Tao Xingjian was stunned for a moment, and then he said quietly, "Great."
*****
The snow in the capital fell silently on a night.
The next weekend, Jian Li sat up again with a look of resentment, looking upset.
King Feng Baobao has gone to the library in the wind and snow.
Gu Hong was the only one in the dormitory.
Gu Hong looked at Jian Li, who was hiding a volcanic rage under her calm surface: "...It's snowing."
Jian Li had nothing to say.
The fact that the school had heating was enough to amaze the southern students for a few days. Now it was snowing again, and I knew where the sound came from without even looking.
The world was covered in snow. All the southern students woke up early and shouted in surprise.
“It’s really snow!”
"Ahhhh! It's really snow!"
"Wow, so beautiful, so beautiful..."
…
By the time Jian Li got up, the snow had stopped.
But many people still wear thick clothes and look around outside.
He would pinch a snowball and throw it at other people while laughing, and the snowball would break into pieces before it even fell.
Gu Hong exhaled a puff of white air.
Is this also called a snowball fight?
“So unprofessional.”
Jian Li was curious: "Then what does it mean to be professional?"
Gu Hong glanced at him calmly: "Snowball fight, fight."
In the Northeast, the first and last words are important in a snowball fight. A swarm of people rushing forward is what makes it exciting.
Jian Li: ...
Two northerners, wearing thick down jackets, went to the cafeteria to eat.
When the weather is like this, it is very easy to tell the northern and southern students from the school.
The one who laughs and plays with the snow is from the South, while the one who makes a huge snowball and puts it directly into his companion's clothes is from the North.
Those who walk across the stairs carefully with non-slip shoes on their feet are from the south, while those who walk across the stairs carelessly and slippery are from the north.
…
Students majoring in sculpture at the School of Fine Arts at Kyoto University were standing in line, building snowmen and sculpting snow sculptures on the playground.
Jian Li passed by and saw a boy making a Venus with broken arms in just a few strokes.
Good... so cool.
Gu Hong asked her if she wanted to make a snowman. Jian Li thought about it and chuckled.
I made a big snowball and made a Crayon Shin-chan on the tree.
The image of the buttocks exposed.
Gu Hong looked at Jian Li with an indescribable look.
Jian Li burst out laughing.
After leaving Xiaoxin on the tree, Jian Li ran back to the dormitory to get her camera and took pictures of the strange-looking snowmen and snow sculptures one by one.
After the filming, Jian Li went to the west side of South Gate. This month, a Feiyu Internet Cafe opened on this street.
Jian Li logged into the BBS and opened a thread.
"Scenes of Kyoto University Campus after Snowfall".
