Chapter 69: Stick to this Thought

"Even if it's just a casual chat, what you say is more mature and wise than others."

Xu Zhe was slightly startled by Shen Lan's words.

Yesterday, from the police station to the hospital and throughout the entire follow-up process, Xu Zhe and Shen Lan were together most of the time.At that time, he noticed that the girl seemed to be a little distracted.Xu Zhe didn't think much about it. He just felt that it was normal to be frightened when encountering such a sudden violent incident.

At this moment, Shen Lan's mental state had obviously recovered a long time ago.But there seemed to be an indescribable meaning between her eyebrows.

"No way..." Xu Zhe scratched the back of his head, "I don't feel this way myself, but thank you for your compliment."

Shen Lan asked tentatively: "You must have had calluses on your ears hearing compliments like this since you were a child, right?"

Xu Zhe: "That's really not the case. It should be said that on the contrary, I don't really adapt to others praising me. It's better now. Last semester, my classmates kept saying that I was so awesome, and I didn't know how to respond. I can only smile awkwardly."

Shen Lan: "Why? You're not used to it?"

Xu Zhe: "Because before I entered junior high school, I was not very eye-catching. In elementary school, I never got past the top ten in my class, and I basically got average grades. I was more active in physical education classes, but that was just blind. Just fooling around... I can't explain why it's like this now. If I have to say it, it's an epiphany."

"Epiphany?" Shen Lan chewed on this word, feeling more and more mysterious.

Xu Zhe continued to talk nonsense: "It can be said to be the awakening of self-awareness. I don't know if you will feel that way, that is, you suddenly realize that you seem to want to do something in this life... To put it simply, I want to do something in this life. It’s a well-rounded job.”

Shen Lan chuckled lightly and said: "That's good. I don't seem to have this feeling. Although the teachers I know will say that I am precocious, only I know best. I really don't know what I want to do in this life. I just I found that as long as you have good academic performance, others will not look down on you, and you will become very free in school."

Xu Zhe: "It's normal for good students to receive special treatment."

Shen Lan: "But you don't just enjoy this kind of treatment. What do you want to do in this life? Can you tell me about it?"

The answer given by Xu Zhe is simple: "Start a business."

Shen Lan was slightly startled: "Are you running a company?"

"Yes, IT companies. This kind of company can start with technology. Unlike many other industries, which also require connections or particularly large assets. By the way, why don't you try to teach yourself programming? Maybe you can do this too. Interested."

Xu Zhe suddenly realized that the girl in front of him seemed to be able to guide him.If she can take the initiative to learn programming, can I have a right-hand assistant in the future?
Yesterday and the day before yesterday, in the Mathematical Olympiad competition group class, he noticed that Teacher Lu often pointed to Shen Lan when she was looking for interaction.This shows that her past performance should be very good.A real junior high school student can participate in the competition group and perform well - Xu Zhe knows very well that his IQ qualifications have definitely surpassed his own before rebirth.

In other words, if development goes well, Shen Lan's upper limit in coding should be higher than her own.

But at this moment she just tilted her head.The usually smart girl showed a rare confusion: "Teach yourself programming?"

Xu Zhe: "It's not entirely self-study. Because I have studied by myself and already have some basic knowledge, I can help you get started and give you some guidance."

Shen Lan blinked and stared at him quietly.

Xu Zhe was slightly nervous.He was really worried that the girl wouldn't be interested in programming or anything like that and would simply refuse, so what else could he say?
But in the brief silence of looking at each other, he gradually discovered from the girl's eyes...she seemed to be a little surprised?

Shen Lan suddenly asked: "I taught you how to play billiards and paid your coaching fee. Then you tutor me in programming, don't you charge me a fee?"

Xu Zhe hesitated for a second.

When it comes to fees, of course you can earn a little bit.But compared to the possible right-hand man in the future, this little change is really insignificant now.

Just when he was about to say something and planned to say that he would provide free teaching, Shen Lan spoke first. "I charge your coaching fee, and you charge my tuition, which is fair. But, I think we can still do it this way. I will teach you to play billiards once, and you will tutor me once. The fee will be deducted, and neither of us can do it. Who do you need to give money to, how about it?"

Mutual exemption?Xu Zhe thinks this is not bad, at least he can play billiards with her in the future, which is a good free entertainment project.

So he nodded: "That'll be it from now on."

Shen Lan smiled and stretched out her right hand: "Teacher Xu..."

Xu Zhe looked at her, then at the stretched out bright wrist and the delicate, white hands.

Shen Lan suddenly reacted: "Oh, yes, your right hand is injured. I'm sorry."

She switched to her left hand.

Xu Zhe: "Shake hands? I feel like a businessman, very mature."

Shen Lan smiled and said, "If you want to open a company in the future, wouldn't you be a businessman?"

"Okay, Coach Shen."

Xu Zhe stretched out his left hand and shook it with her.

Although it looked like frost and snow, when he held the girl's hand, he felt warm from the palm to the fingertips, even a little warm.

After shaking each other for a while, their hands quickly separated.He threw his hands away almost at the same time.

Shen Lan squinted her eyes, glanced at her left hand, and then at his left hand, thoughtfully.

----

Shen Lan returned to the classroom of Class [-] and Class [-], sat in her own seat, and took out a notebook from her schoolbag.

The first few pages of the book record some key matters, such as what month and day the important exam is, how many days are used to prepare for the Mathematical Olympiad competition, and which days can be used to review common knowledge in the third grade of junior high school...

She opened the notebook and turned to the last blank page.

Then I started writing in English: [One is in the third year of junior high school and the other is in the first year of junior high school. Time is too tight.After high school, there is even less time to get along, so we must seize the time to get to know each other more.His reaction was not proactive, maybe he was still too young.Originally, I played billiards just to make money, but now it has just become an excuse...]

Suddenly, the girl at the same table asked: "Are you writing an English composition?"

Shen Lan smiled: "Yes."

My deskmate sighed: "It's amazing. I can write such a long paragraph without even thinking about it. I can't do it."

Shen Lan: "How do you know you haven't thought about it? I've been thinking about it for a long time."

　It may be due to laziness and late sleep due to the extra update last night, plus there are some things happening today, so the update is a little late, sorry.
