turmoil
During lunch, Shen Anyan hesitated for a while, and finally went to the next class to look for Gu Cijiang.
Unfortunately, her hesitation seemed a bit self-indulgent. The other person's seat was empty, and they had probably left long ago.
Shen Anyan couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
Li Xinran was just about to leave when she saw him and said, "Xiao Yan, are you here to see Gu Cijiang?"
Shen Anyan said: "Yes, but I didn't find it."
Li Xinran said, "That's right, he didn't find it. He took a day off today and didn't come to class."
Shen Anyan was stunned, and the depression in his heart disappeared in an instant, but was soon replaced by worry.
She pressed, "Do you know why he didn't come?"
Li Xinran said: "The teacher didn't say anything, but I was bored and sent him a message to ask him, and he said he was in a bad mood today."
At this point, she shook her head with a bit of envy: "I really envy him. If I dare to use a bad mood as an excuse to skip school, my mother will definitely beat me to death."
Shen Anyan smiled cooperatively, said goodbye to the other party, and walked towards the cafeteria while thinking about what she had just learned.
Feeling down? Why?
Shen Anyan thought a little puzzled.
Judging from Gu Cijiang's performance yesterday, the other party was indeed a little different.
Although she couldn't figure it out, at least one thing was certain: the other party's admission of disliking her probably wasn't true dislike, but there must be other reasons.
After figuring this out, Shen Anyan stopped worrying about it. She decided that when Gu Cijiang came back, she would talk to him about this matter.

In the dim room, Gu Cijiang buried himself in the quilt, feeling uncomfortable all over.
It wasn't physical discomfort, but psychological discomfort. He felt completely drained and tired.
Ever since he said "yes" yesterday, he felt that something was wrong with him.
He didn't understand what he was thinking. Whether he shook off the other person's hand or admitted that he really hated the other person, it was a choice made based on emotion rather than reason.
But after doing all that, he didn't feel refreshed, especially after the other party really left like that. He just felt lost and a little aggrieved.
Doesn’t that person always like to chase me? Why is he unwilling to chase me a little longer this time and just leaves when I tell him to?
Gu Cijiang buried his face in the quilt. He knew that his temper was unreasonable and that the other party's choice to leave was a normal reaction, but he was still unhappy.
After returning home yesterday, he didn't sleep well the entire night, barely falling asleep until the early hours of the morning. Even if he went to school in this state, he wouldn't be able to learn anything. Gu Cijiang didn't like wasting time, so he asked the housekeeper to help him take some time off. After a quick breakfast, he went back to his bedroom and continued to lie down.
In addition to not wanting to do useless work, there was another reason why he was reluctant to go to school, and that was his fear of facing the feast.
Feast, feast, feast.
Gu Cijiang's mind was full of this name.
So annoying.

Chen Anyan didn't know that the person she had been thinking about day and night hated her. She had just finished her afternoon class and was wandering around the school when she happened to meet the little gray cat that had caused trouble in both classes yesterday.
The other party had a big meal somewhere and was now lying in the shade of a tree to cool off.
Shen Anyan was delighted to see this, and walked forward and put his hand next to the other person's head.
This gray cat was not afraid of people. Seeing Shen Anyan's actions, it considerately put its head on the other's palm and rubbed it affectionately.
Shen Anyan used his free hand to rub the kitten's fur. The kitten felt comfortable with the rub and showed its belly to him trustingly.
Shen Anyan couldn't help but laugh.
A classmate passing by noticed what was happening and exclaimed in surprise: "Hey, there's a kitten!"
Suddenly, a group of people gathered around Shen Anyan.
Everyone came forward, everyone wanted to touch the kitten. Some people brought food and kept "sucking" it to try to entice the kitten to eat.
Someone laughed and said, "You think this is a dog? Stop teasing it."
The student who made the "嘬嘬嘬" sound laughed embarrassedly twice and changed it to "Mio Mio".
After Shen Anyan had petted the cat enough, he gave up his seat and let other students pet it.
After returning to the teaching building, there was still some time before evening self-study, so Shen Anyan finished the homework assigned for today. When He Qingtian came back, she told him that she would not be in the classroom for evening self-study today.
"If a teacher asks, just say I went home." Shen Anyan said.
Day students do not have to attend evening self-study classes. In order to catch up with the progress of comprehensive liberal arts, Shen Anyan usually chooses to attend unless he wants to go back to bed early that day.
He Qingtian replied "Okay". As the squad leader, she asked one more question: "What are you going to do?"
Shen Anyan said: "To be a tutor."
Lin Yue turned around when he heard this and asked in surprise: "You are still a tutor?"
Shen Anyan said: "Well, I'm free anyway."
Chen Shan at the next table couldn't help but ask: "Are you still willing to accept new students? I also want to hire you as a tutor."
Lin Yue rubbed his hands and said with a grin: "Hey, well, actually I also..."
He Qingtian said: "Then add me in, or you can just open a cram school and we can all go."
Shen Anyan said helplessly: "What are you talking about? We are all classmates. How can we call it tutoring when we help each other? If you don't understand something, you can always ask me. I am happy to help."
Everyone was just joking, and now they all responded with a smile.
After Shen Anyan packed up his things, he headed towards Class 7.
————
There was something unusual about Class 7 today. A classmate from Class 8 passed by and didn't react at first. After everyone had walked past the door, he realized something was wrong and stepped back to take another look.
It was quiet inside. No one was laughing or playing, and no one was even looking at their phones. Everyone was reading and studying seriously.
However, according to this classmate from Class 8, these students are just pretending to study, because they either scribble on the books, stare at the books in a daze, or read some random random books.
A classmate from Class 8 secretly found someone he knew well. He usually kept his voice down when chatting with people, but he couldn't help but lower his voice when he spoke because of the atmosphere today. He asked, "What's going on in your class?"
The man with no hope for life said, "Lu Zhou ordered it. I don't know what's wrong with him. He said that everyone in the classroom should act like they're studying during evening study. If they don't, they can't stay."
The students in Class Eight responded with sympathetic glances. Lu Zhou knew that, aside from the Gu family, his was the wealthiest family in Haicheng. Nine out of ten students in the two classes behind him were in the same social circles, so even if they didn't try to curry favor, they still had to be careful not to create grudges. The students in Class Eight fell into that category. If they couldn't afford to offend, they couldn't afford to avoid them. Fortunately, he wasn't in Class Seven, so he didn't have to worry about maintaining relationships with them.
A lackey noticed the situation and yelled, "Hey, are you from Class 8? No one from outside the class is allowed in today. Get out now."
The classmate from Class 8 didn't take the other person's tone seriously, just said goodbye to his friend and quickly left.
Lu Zhou returned to class early today and sat in his seat. He had prepared his textbooks, manuscript paper, and pens in advance, and was looking forward to the evening study session.
Someone ran over and asked, "Brother Lu, there's someone else in the classroom, should we take care of him?"
As the man spoke, he glanced meaningfully at the corner, which was the dog's tail that everyone disliked.
Someone on the side yelled, "What a rude guy, Brother Lu! I'll get him out of here!"
Lu Zhou glanced into the corner and remembered that the girls in the class seemed to be annoyed with each other. Shengyan was probably annoyed too, so he nodded.
"Hurry up, don't let Shengyan see us," he said.
After receiving the promise, the few people went to work with a smile. Behind them, there was a burst of crackling noises, mixed with a few faint pleas for mercy.
Lu Zhou frowned and turned around to say, "Be quiet and don't mess up the seats. It'll make it look like there's been a fight in the classroom."
Several people responded in unison, and one person went to straighten the messed-up tables and chairs. Seeing everything back to normal, and the unpleasant smell gone, Lu Zhou finally waited for his turn with satisfaction.
————
Shen Anyan entered Class 7 just as the evening study bell rang. Lu Zhou waved excitedly when he saw him.
“Here, here!”
When Shen Anyan arrived, he hurriedly moved the chair beside him and patted the seat to signal the other party to sit down.
Shen Anyan put his things away, looked around the classroom, and said in surprise: "Your class has good discipline. It's so quiet even without a teacher."
She lowered her voice, and Lu Zhou responded by lowering his own.
"As long as you think it's good, I'm afraid they won't study hard and it will affect your teaching."
Shen Anyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry about that. The most important thing is that you can learn it."
Let’s not talk about the multiple-choice part of the math test. The question types in this part are very scattered, but the big questions at the end are relatively fixed.
Lu Zhou had almost finished learning the geometry section in the past two days. Shen Anyan hesitated between the two modules of sets and functions, and chose the easier set to teach him.
Lu Zhou got a headache the moment he saw this. The combination of strange symbols and densely packed numbers was truly daunting. He secretly glanced at Shen Anyan's plan and asked earnestly, "Shouldn't we start with the easy and then move on to the difficult? Why don't we learn probability first?"
Shen Anyan said: "Sets are simpler than probabilities."
Lu Zhou was clearly unconvinced. "What's so difficult about probability? Isn't it just counting squares and adding them up?"
Shen Anyan sighed and showed the other party the questions in the probability section of the college entrance examination along with the answers.
Lu Zhou's expression was a bit dazed after reading it. He pointed at the explanation and asked, "What are these things that look like the number three? Why are there so many small letters around them?"
Shen Anyan said: "This is called Sigma, which is the summation symbol. m is the lower bound of the sum, and n is the upper bound of the sum..."
Noticing Lu Zhou's increasingly bewildered expression, she paused and asked, "So... are you sure you want to learn probability first?"
Lu Zhou said, "I love gathering. Teacher Xiaoyan, let's learn gathering."
