Chapter 57 Talent

The evening self-study session that night was probably the quietest and best day for learning for Class 18 since Mr. Fu left.

The political teachers were a little uncomfortable, so they called their class teachers and asked, "What's wrong with the kids in your class? Are they trying to change their character or is there a bigger conspiracy?"

She is a good friend of Lao Fu, so she believes in them. “These kids are very smart. They know what they should do.”

The political teacher was relieved to start the class, but he still said cautiously: "Actually, you don't have to be so reserved. I'm afraid something might happen if you keep it to yourself. Don't think too hard. If you have any problems, please come to the teacher."

The whole class: "..."

In the evening, Lin Shuliang took the test paper and started working on it without waiting for Shen Xinghe's instructions. She was full of energy and her accuracy rate was relatively high.

Shen Xinghe was a little surprised, but didn't say it out loud. "It's OK, let's do something else."

"Okay. I'll go get my homework from my room."

They often did their homework together, mainly because Shen Xinghe would help her with her lessons, so Cheng Lin vacated the study room specifically for them to do their homework. It was convenient and spacious, with a long desk.

But there are also some downsides, many things need to be taken back to the room.

When Lin Shuliang came back, Shen Xinghe asked, "By the way, what happened to you guys today?"

"afternoon?"

"I heard from many people that people in your class were in tears."

"Maybe it's because I think about our wonderful future life, so I feel so excited and want to cry."

Shen Xinghe glanced at her and said, "I was wondering why your eyes are shining with the light of ideals and are so determined!"

She turned around and smiled, "Really?"

"Well, there's just a little stain in the corner of my right eye, which is called eye mucus in short."

Lin Shuliang immediately reached out to rub it, "There's nothing there."

He was packing up his homework books to go home, "Oh, then I was wrong."

A vengeful person! He is playing a trick on me because I didn't answer his question properly.

…

With only a few dozen days left before the college entrance examination, senior high school students have begun preparing for the exam in full swing; the only sound you can hear is the swish of flipping pages.

Luo Yun also became more serious and kept asking Lin Shuliang questions. She had passed the art exam. Although she could pass the art line of University A, the cultural score might be a bit difficult, so she wanted to give it a try.

After finishing the exam in the afternoon, Luo Yun suddenly said, "Shuliang, I've discovered a problem. Sometimes your IQ is really damaged. No matter how hard you try, it's useless."

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Shuliang answered casually while she was working on a problem that she had just failed to solve.

"I'm fine, you do the questions, I'll go out for a walk."

By the time Lin Shuliang reacted, Luo Yun had already left. She thought Luo Yun was just talking casually and wasn't really sad, but now it seems that Luo Yun is really sad.

Lin Shuliang put away the notebook and ran into Wang Zhiwen when she went out. "Have you seen Luo Yun?"

"I just ran into her. She seemed to be on the rooftop. I don't know what happened to her. She looked very depressed and ignored me when I called her."

"I'll go take a look." Lin Shuliang then realized that Luo Yun was serious.

She ran to the rooftop and saw Luo Yun standing in the wind in her school uniform. The sides of her clothes were blown up and her short hair was also messy. Her shoulders were shaking and her crying was very soft, which was carried to Lin Shuliang's ears by the sound of the wind.

She didn't bring any tissues with her, so she turned around and ran downstairs, got some tissues from the table, and then went back.

This time Luo Yun did not cry quietly, but cried loudly.

Lin Shuliang walked up to her and handed her a tissue, "Cry enough."

She pulled out several pieces of paper and said breathlessly, "How did you know I was here?"

"The whole school can hear you crying, how could I not know?"

She continued to cry, pressing paper against her eyes to absorb the tears. After crying for a long time, her lips and nose were red. "Why don't you persuade me?"

"Why should I persuade you? You haven't cried enough and no matter how I persuade you, it won't work. I might as well let you cry enough."

She sniffed and propped her hands on the table. "You are always so rational, that's why you are so outstanding. You can do anything you want to do, whether it's winning first prize in a national competition or wanting to get into University A. Everything goes according to plan for you. I can't do that. I'm not good at math to begin with. No matter how hard I try, I can't do it. I don't have talent."

"Luo Yun, talent is important, but the role of hard work cannot be ignored. I always thought you were a very carefree person, but now why do I think you are so stubborn? You don't know that when I fell on the stage, and when I couldn't do the math problems, Shen Xinghe scolded me. You also know that I was scolded on the forum because of those so-called halos. Luo Yun, you only see a little bit. In fact, I am not that good. The so-called following the plan is just the result of me spending several hours doing exercises every day." Lin Shuliang's tone was flat, as if she was comforting Luo Yun, but also complaining.

"But the time you spent was effective, but mine was not. You taught me the proof questions so many times, but I still couldn't do it when I took the test just now. I don't know if my persistence is still meaningful." She started crying again.

Lin Shuliang had no choice but to pat her on the back. "If one time doesn't work, try twice. If two times don't work, try three times. If three times don't work, try ten times. There will always be a time when you will understand. I will help you."

"Shuliang, I really can't do it." She cried and stamped her feet like a child.

Lin Shuliang wiped her tears and said, "I know you've had a hard time during this period. Just hold on a little longer. Once you pass the college entrance examination, everything will be fine."

She was still crying, and crying even harder. She leaned against Lin Shuliang, and her school uniform was soaked with tears.

When we take the college entrance examination, we all have the most ambitious ideals. These ideals may be given by parents, schools and society, but also our own pursuits. These things pile up together and become an invisible pressure. Therefore, many people will collapse in the third year of high school, because they feel that their efforts for so long can't actually get the rewards they want.

Luo Yun cried enough, "At first I just wanted to go to any school. But then you said those words to me, and I really felt that my ideas were backward, so I wanted to keep up with you, but I found that I am not you, and I can't go far at all."

"You just don't see your strengths. Now you don't have to do anything but work hard. The rest will be left to time." Lin Shu said calmly, handing her the tissue. "When you feel pain, ask yourself if you have tried your best."

Sometimes it is not easy to meet a friend who reminds you at any time. Those good teachers and helpful friends who appear in our lives are opening up another possibility for our lives.

…

When Lin Shuliang went downstairs, she met Xu Chen smoking in the corridor.

"I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation. I just came up here to smoke." He explained, afraid that Lin Shuliang would think he was eavesdropping.

"I know you're not that boring. Smoke less, minor."

As the two passed by each other, Xu Chen put out his cigarette. "Actually, I've never smoked before. I just saw them smoking and wanted to try what it tasted like. I was curious."

I have never seen such a boastful person, so Lin Shuliang did not expose him, "Curiosity kills the cat, let's go down together."

She wanted to leave Luo Yun a quiet place so that she could think carefully.

Xu Chen misunderstood her meaning and followed her happily, "It's been so long since we last met, I thought you wouldn't remember me."

"You are talking about that kind of amnesia, right? I am not the heroine in the novel, I don't deserve to have that kind of disease." Lin Shuliang was very good at sneering.

"It's fun talking to you." This is flattery.

"Thank you. By the way, I haven't thanked you properly for showing me the fountain that day." Lin Shuliang was really slow to realize it. How long has it been since then?

But since that incident, they haven't seen each other much, so there was no chance to thank him.

Xu Chen didn't think it was bad either. "You're welcome, but why do you like to watch that stuff? Aren't they all the same?"

"You don't understand this! There are all kinds of fountains, with flowers and some that float like willow branches. The most classic one is that it will suddenly rush very high. At this time, just imagine what it would feel like if you could stand on it and go up with the fountain. You won't understand even if I tell you, but every time I see a fountain, my feet feel light." Lin Shuliang described it vividly and even added actions.

She was right, Xu Chen didn't understand the feeling she described at all.

But Xu Chen still listened to her patiently. "Hearing what you said, I will definitely take a good look at the fountain next time to see if it has this kind of magic."

They walked and talked, and met Li Panxi and Chen Ping. Li Panxi glanced at Xu Chen and said, "Shuliang, where are you going?"

"I'm playing, you guys chat, I'm leaving." Lin Shuliang thought Xu Chen would chat with her.

Unexpectedly, Xu Chen said, "We haven't finished talking yet, wait for me."

Chen Ping didn't know about Li Panxi and Xu Chen. Seeing this scene, she said angrily, "What does Xu Chen mean by this? Standing on Lin Shuliang's side?"

Li Panxi was a person who cared a lot about face. Although her nails had dug deep into her hands, she still smiled and said nonchalantly, "Xu Chen is just like that. He has a childish temper. He sent me milk tea that day and sent it downstairs to my house. I was not at home at the time, so he thought I deliberately didn't go downstairs to get it, so he got angry."

"So that's how it is. That's what I was saying. How could Xu Chen do such a thing to you? Lin Shuliang snatched Shen Xinghe away, so how could she snatch Xu Chen away? Unless she is a fairy from the Ninth Heaven who has come down to earth. Right, Pan Xi?" She knew nothing and spoke without restraint.

Li Panxi had to force a smile, "Yeah, you're right. Class is about to start, let's go."

During the class, Li Panxi was lost in thought again. She couldn't figure out why she was inferior to Lin Shuliang. In terms of her interpersonal relationships, she smiled at everyone, was very polite, and was reasonable.

As for looks, they all have their own merits, so why are they all following Lin Shuliang?

Sometimes, there must be something wrong with people who are too perfect, because people are multifaceted.
