Rebirth 07: Start adding points from elementary school students

Chapter 129 To untie the bell, one must tie it

After school on Monday afternoon, Li Yan noticed that Liang Ban, who usually waited for his roommates, left the classroom alone in silence.

After Chen Fan finished chatting with Lin Heng and waited for other roommates including Li Yan to gather, he realized that Liang Ban was missing.

"This doesn't look like him." Chen Fan looked around, looking for the familiar little figure.

Li Yan felt the phone in her pocket vibrate, and opened the QQ group to see, "Class Liang said he was going to the playground to run, so we should eat and take a shower first."

"It turns out that he might have been stimulated by you, Yan." Lin Heng pursed his lips.

"No, is this your cell phone?" Zhu Qinglun immediately changed the subject.

"I bought it last weekend and rarely use it."

"Fuck, you bought it with your pocket money?" Lin Heng also instantly switched his attention, "You really are the young master of Lincheng!"

"The phone is not expensive. I bought it with the reserve funds my family gave me at the beginning. I had planned to come to New Taipei to buy a phone anyway."

Acting skill 36, can lie without blinking an eye.

"Really? I don't believe it."

"You are bad, Mr. Xue Zhong."

Joking is a good way to avoid being asked too many questions.

"You guys should go eat first." Li Yan suddenly patted his roommates on the shoulders.

"What are you going to do?" Li Ruofei asked.

"I'm going to go for a run too."

"Accompany Liang Ban? Then let's go too..." Zhu Qinglun was interrupted by Li Ruofei before he could finish his sentence.

Watching Li Yan hurried down the stairs, Lin Heng put on the appearance of a middle-aged man, frowned, put his hands behind his back, took a deep breath and raised his head:
"The one who tied the bell must be the one to untie it."

Liang Tiancheng was indeed running, and was very conspicuous, because the midterm exam results had just come out, and everyone either chose to have fun or go home early. Few people still insisted on exercising at this time.

Li Yan put away her schoolbag and slowly followed Liang Tiancheng.

Liang Ban ran with his eyes fixed on the ground, and didn't even notice Li Yan running up to him.

"Liang Ban, keep your eyes on the ground when running. It's not safe."

Liang Tiancheng shuddered when he saw that it was Li Yan running together. His expression changed continuously in a short period of time.

At first I was surprised and even delighted, then doubt flashed across my mind for a moment, and then I was immediately relieved.

"You're not going to eat?"

"You need to run a few laps and talk after you finish. It's too tiring to talk while running."

Liang Tiancheng didn't say anything, but raised his hand and made a "2".

After running two laps quickly, the two of them sat down in the tree pit under the big banyan tree.

"It's only half past five, it's still early." Li Yan looked at the sky covered by the banyan tree, "It's November, and it's getting dark quickly."

“I come to run to let off some steam.”

"Depressed? Or something?"

"I'm not depressed, right?" Liang Tiancheng lowered his head. "I'm so depressed just because I was defeated in the exam. How can I feel good about it?"

"Liang Ban..."

"Just call me Tiancheng."

"confused?"

Liang Tiancheng's eyes dimmed a little, he looked up at the sky in the distance and nodded slightly:
"I have always been good at studying. If others heard this, they would say that I am not grateful for what I have. For a student, being good at studying is a good thing."

Li Yan expressed her understanding and just nodded.

"I'm actually very envious of you and everyone in our dormitory. Lin Heng can sing and draw, Ruofei and Qinglun are both publishing articles, and Chen Fan is a computer genius. Everyone in the dormitory always has a lot of things to do and something they love to do."

Liang Tiancheng adjusted his glasses and hammered Li Yan's shoulder, "As for you, don't mention it."

Li Yan laughed twice.

“I actually don’t like being a class monitor, but I really don’t have any talent. I’m skinny and small, and I’m not good at sports. My only good thing is my grades.

"My best feature is my ability to pass exams. But what's the point of being good at exams?" Liang Tiancheng became agitated. "I can only cope with the exercises on the test paper. I can't publish articles in newspapers or magazines, perform on stage, create my own works, or research new content.

"What's the point of just taking exams?"

Li Yan wanted to complain, "Luckily you told me. If you told anyone else, you would be asking for a beating," but suddenly a strange emotion was triggered, which came from the third year of junior high school before her rebirth.

This emotion is called "school aversion".

Before his rebirth, Li Yan was not as outrageous as he is now, but at least he was one of the top ten students in Lincheng No. 1 Middle School.

He even took first place in the grade in the second-year junior high school midterm exam, and his future seemed to be smooth sailing no matter how he looked at it.

As a result, in the second semester of the third year of junior high school, I suddenly felt tired of studying. I couldn't concentrate on reading and couldn't do the exercises. My grades suddenly dropped, and I got the worst score in my junior high school career in the high school entrance examination. I barely got into Jinshi Middle School.

Although he entered the best middle school in Lincheng, based on his level at the end of the first semester of the third year of junior high school, he should at least be at the top of the experimental class.

What’s even more frightening is that his inner demons have not been resolved, and he still hates studying. His grades are at the bottom of the grade, and even Chen Fengling has to take him to see a psychologist.

As a result, after a few unintentional words from his head teacher and old classmates, he suddenly became enlightened and picked up the book during the winter vacation of his senior year in high school.

As for the subsequent efforts to catch up with my former self and break from the bottom ten to the top ten, that is a story for later.

At the moment when this memory was revived, Li Yan once regarded his aversion to school as "adolescent affectation", but looking at Liang Tiancheng in front of him, he rejected this irresponsible idea.

Everyone has different troubles during adolescence. Even the top students have their own confusions. It is very irresponsible to think that everything will be fine as long as you have good academic performance.

The aversion to studying that had tormented him for three years originated from the question “What’s the point of taking exams?”

I still love studying, but I only study "minor subjects" and read "extracurricular books".

This emotion is a very complex product, which is caused by both the rebellious psychology of adolescence and the various obstacles encountered when exploring the "meaning" of the immature worldview.

Although Liang Tiancheng is precocious, he is only in the first grade of junior high school. Even if he compares himself with the third grade of junior high school before his rebirth, he cannot use the scale of "interest" to measure some things at this time.

We have relatively few perspectives on the world and have too many imaginations about society in our hearts. This is true not only for junior high school students but also for college students.

This is why there is a communication barrier between college students and those who have been working as office workers for a year.

"Tiancheng," Li Yan took a deep breath, "You should love learning, right?"

"Of course." Liang Tiancheng answered without hesitation, "I started to teach myself high school knowledge. Why would I do this if I didn't love it?"

You kid... Li Yan was shocked. It seemed that as the top student in the grade, he relied on the system to avoid losing points due to carelessness?

I was so proud of myself for having learned so much knowledge in the third year of junior high school, but my roommates were all preparing for high school...

Do you want to be so curly, brother?
I was trying to enlighten you, but you poked my nose in the pit of my stomach, saying I’m a jack of all trades but not a master of any of them, right?

Don’t blame me for killing you later.

"After learning, there are many places to display your knowledge. We in 403, we who have wonderful lives in your eyes, the talents we have, the articles we have published, the technologies we have researched, are all the results of learning knowledge, and the same goes for exams."

Liang Tiancheng was not too touched by this sentence.

“Learning is the result of accumulation, and it is natural. There is no ‘for what’ in learning. You don’t study just for exams. Learning Chinese, math, English, politics, history, geography, and biology is not just for exams. You can’t forget these things after taking the exams.”

"Ah."

"When I look back, I see that person standing at the end of the street where the lights are dim." Li Yan gently pressed Liang Tiancheng's shoulder. He was really thin. "You are very good, very, very good. You have mastered the knowledge in books and various subjects better than most people. Go slowly, and when you use this knowledge naturally one day, you will know what the meaning is when you look back."

"It's not that I don't know the meaning of studying...it's just that the exams..."

"The meaning of learning lies in pragmatism." Li Yan talked about the core of his way out of his aversion to learning. "Whether you hate it or not, doing well in the exam is always better than doing poorly."

Liang Tiancheng was stunned. He didn't expect that after talking for so long, Li Yan's conclusion was so simple.

"If you want better study conditions, more space to develop yourself, a better life, to go to the best high school and the best university... you have to get good grades."

"Yeah, I understand." Liang Tiancheng's eyes flickered.

"Whether the system is good or not is not something you need to consider. If you can pass the exam, why bother about its meaning? Study your own way and take his exam. The purpose of taking the exam is to learn better. Studying and taking the exam are never contradictory."

“Why…” Liang Tiancheng suddenly laughed out loud, “After talking for so long, in the end it’s just what my mother nags me about every day, studying hard is the only way to have a future?”

“Sometimes we just don’t understand the truths they have proven through forty years of life.”

After all, we still have a lot of life experiences to go through, and our predecessors don’t want us to make the same mistakes again.

But the greatest lesson of mankind is that we never learn lessons.

"Haha," Liang Tiancheng took off his glasses and put them back in his schoolbag, "This makes it seem like... I'm very ignorant."

Let it go, before my heart is filled with sadness.

Li Yan breathed a sigh of relief. "At first I thought you came here to run because you were depressed because I surpassed you and you felt that you couldn't beat me in any aspect. But... "

The result was a more dangerous idea, but Li Yan did not say the second half of the sentence.

Liang Tiancheng put on his schoolbag and scratched his short hair, "Indeed, there is still a little bit."

"It's human nature." Li Yan waved her hand. "Let's go and have dinner. Don't miss the evening study session."

"Okay! As the squad leader, you have to set a good example!"

On the way to the cafeteria, Li Yan suddenly thought, if he had not been reborn, would Liang Tiancheng, who was actually a genius, really fall into the quagmire of school aversion?

But if it weren't for his encouragement, Liang Tiancheng might have always been the first in the grade.

However, doubting the significance of exams is a time bomb. Perhaps Li Yan's first place in the grade this time was just a spray gun used to trigger the fuse.

Anyway, he felt pretty good about being a bomb disposal expert.
