Listening to the lecture above, Wang Yan flipped through the textbook.
As for these things, although his memory has improved a bit, he can remember a lot of things from high school.
But there's no use just remembering it, he has to learn it.
But these are minor problems. With his learning ability, he might be able to go to Huaqing University or Peking University in two years.
The trio over there were discussing the two new arrivals.
"Hey, hey, hey, what do you think of that girl?" Zhao Ye poked the other two.
Chen Xun said something insincerely: "Not very good."
Qiao Ran seemed to be listening attentively in class and didn't pay attention. He casually replied, "It's okay."
Zhao Ye didn't give up and continued to ask, "Where's that kid?"
This question hit the nail on the head. They both said in unison: "Stupid."
"Yeah, I think so too. You can tell at a glance that he doesn't fit in." Zhao Ye nodded in agreement.
"You three, shut up." Teacher Hou couldn't stand it anymore after listening to them chattering for a long time without stopping.
The three of them stopped talking in disappointment.
Lin Jiamo, who was standing by, was gloating over the criticism they received and was laughing foolishly.
"Lin Jiamo, you said they didn't mention you, right? What's so funny?"
This time it was the trio's turn to laugh, shrugging their shoulders and feeling very suffocated.
Lin Jiamo was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Wang Yan smiled knowingly when he saw this scene. The happiness of student days was just that simple.
Unfortunately, when Zhao Ye turned around and winked at Lin Jiamo, he saw Wang Yan smiling, but in his eyes, this smile was a mockery.
He felt provoked, and as if in protest, he waved his fist at Wang Yan, looking like he was very fierce and would make him pay.
Wang Yan didn't say anything, but just narrowed his eyes and looked at Zhao Ye with a sinister look.
When their eyes met, Zhao Ye felt as if he had been electrocuted, his heart was pounding, and he quickly turned his head away.
But as soon as he turned his head, he felt that this was a sign of cowardice, and he refused to accept it.
When he looked back again, Wang Yan was no longer looking at him but was reading a book.
Looking at the figure intently reading, Zhao Ye simply felt that this boy was a little special, but he couldn't put his finger on what exactly. He rubbed his eyes and looked again, only to find that he looked ordinary, unremarkable. Zhao Ye didn't think much of it, just thinking it was his own eyesight, and didn't take it seriously.
Wang Yan and Fang Hui are both new here. Although people of this age make friends quickly, it still takes some time to get to know each other.
Wang Yan didn't try to show off, so the day passed peacefully.
After school, I went to the address given by the system.
It’s not far from the experimental middle school, just two streets away.
Along the way, Wang Yan looked around curiously.
This is not the capital city of twenty years later with tall buildings, bustling traffic and neon lights everywhere.
There are not many cars on the road, but more bicycles, and many older brothers and uncles riding Shenniu bikes, speaking Beijing dialect and chatting with customers.
The streets are also full of handsome men and beautiful women who are at the forefront of fashion and dressed in fancy clothes.
Wang Yan bought some vegetables from a vegetable vendor passing by and went back to cook them later.
Just looking along the way, we soon arrived at the destination.
This is an old six-story building located in the Second Ring Road. Given its location, it will have to be demolished in a few years.
I climbed all the way to the top floor, took out the key from the space, and opened the door.
The houses built in the past were not big. His is only 60 square meters.
Looking around, I found the room clean, tidy and simply furnished.
Wang Yan washed his hands and then started to cook dinner.
In a short while, two dishes were fried and all the steamed buns were eaten.
He subconsciously searched his body for a cigarette, only to find that there was no cigarette under his clothes.
He shook his head, cleaned up the dishes, and went downstairs to buy a pack of cigarettes. He climbed up the stairs to the rooftop, facing the evening breeze, and smoked a lonely cigarette.
In the following month, Wang Yan attended classes as usual and went to Zhongguancun to work on weekends, earning his first pot of gold.
Sometimes he would go to the welfare home he had worked in before, but since he was not very capable now, he could not help much, but he would just go and talk to the elderly there and play with the children.
After getting to know each other, everyone realized that the two newcomers were not very talkative, and they couldn't play together and were not sociable.
It’s not that we are excluded, anyway, everyone gets along well.
The trio just wanted to study Fang Hui when they had nothing to do. They were quite curious about this girl.
During the National Day holiday, Wang Yan went with the orphanage to watch the military parade. It was the first time in his life that he had witnessed it in person, rather than watching it live on TV. Although Wang Yan had become more calm, watching the rows of soldiers marching by with such vigor and vitality still made him feel overwhelmed.
After the holidays, students who didn’t have enough fun have to return to school.
After the first class, Chen Xun walked to the front and patted the table, attracting the attention of a group of students below: "Quiet, quiet."
Wang Yan knew what was going on and was notified before the holiday. After returning, he attended evening self-study until nine o'clock.
As expected, Chen Xun saw that everyone had quieted down and said, "Where there is oppression, there is resistance."
"Are we really going to study until nine o'clock today?"
The crowd below all loudly expressed their support and agreement.
Chen Xun continued, "So we must resist. Their suppression of our freedom is unacceptable. So I propose that the entire class sign a petition to cancel evening self-study."
"Oh!" the people below cheered.
"Students, calm down. This isn't a class struggle. Let's vote in a more democratic way. If you agree with my proposal, please raise your hands."
The people below, you looked at me, I looked at you, and finally you all raised your hands.
Except Fang Hui in front and Wang Yan in the back.
Seeing Fang Wei didn't raise her hand, someone next to her nudged her: "Why don't you raise your hand? Hurry up."
The eyes of the people around were all focused on Fang Wei. Most people couldn't bear this kind of pressure, so they raised their hands hesitantly.
At this moment, Zhao Ye, who was overjoyed, saw that Wang Yan behind him hadn't moved, and shouted, "Hey, why don't you raise your hand?"
Chen Xun, Qiao Ran, Fang Hui, Lin Jiamo and everyone in the class looked at Wang Yan who was sitting there.
Glancing at the students in the class, Wang Yan said, "Isn't this democracy? I'll abstain from voting. You guys can do whatever you want. Leave me alone."
Chen Xun stared at Wang Yan, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then we will just ignore Wang Yan."
Zhao Ye was indignant over there, but since Chen Xun had spoken, he didn't say much.
Fang Wei saw all this, and to be honest, she envied Wang Yan's courage.
Everyone began to sign on a large piece of paper in a lively manner, as if they were participating in a major event with a historical mission, as if they were going to fire the first shot in the struggle of the students of Experimental Middle School.
Chen Xun placed the signature filled with his name on the blackboard in the classroom.
The head teacher, Ma Jianjun, came to teach everyone and saw a large piece of paper with names written on it on the blackboard.
He tore it off and threw it on the desk.
"Who did this? Who did this?"
Chen Xun stood up with an impatient look on his face: "Me."
"You're such a jerk, and you're still a class monitor? If you don't want to study, go home."
"I want to learn."
"You want to study without studying diligently? I've seen so many students, but I've never seen anyone like you."
Chen Xun raised his neck and said, "Director, I have a question. How do you write the character for 'person'?"
After saying that, he walked straight up to the podium and picked up the chalk without caring about Director Ma's reaction.
A person was written with a stroke of the left and right arrows.
"If you don't understand, I'll explain it to you."
Director Ma looked at him without saying anything.
"The character 人 (human) is made up of two parts, one on each side, supporting the heavens and the earth. The left side represents freedom, and the other side represents independence. You have deprived us of our freedom and denied our independence. Dean, if we can't even be human, how can we be students?"
"Give it to me..."
"I have a question." Before Director Ma finished speaking, Wang Yan raised his hand.
"Speak," Director Ma said unhappily. "I'd like to ask Chen Xun, what do you mean by freedom and independence?"
Chen Xun didn't expect Wang Yan to target him, and he felt a little embarrassed. After thinking about it, he started to show off his knowledge to Wang Yan, talking about the principles of freedom and independence that he had learned from somewhere.
Finally, he said, "Today's event is what I mean by freedom and independence."
"Then let me ask you, if you didn't want to go to evening self-study, you could have just told your parents and asked for leave. If that didn't work out, you could have just skipped school. Why did you do this? Why did you have to drag everyone along with you?"
"If you really are who you say you are, why don't you stand outside with a loud speaker and shout to thousands of students from three grades about your purpose? Wouldn't it be more effective to confront the school leaders and state your demands? Wouldn't that better demonstrate your freedom and independence?"
"I won't say whether your freedom and independence are right or wrong. Have you ever thought about them?" Wang Yan pointed at the other students.
"From what I've seen, Fang Hui doesn't want your freedom and independence, and neither do I."
As Wang Yan spoke, some of the students looked at him with a strange expression, and it was obvious that they didn't really think so.
"Don't accuse me of generalizing." Wang Yan pointed at a few people with strange expressions.
Chen Xun was puzzled when he saw the people Wang Yan was pointing at. He remembered that some of them were shouting quite loudly.
Chen Xun was not convinced, but he could not refute it. His purpose was not pure. He stared at Wang Yan intently, and he remembered it.
Seeing that the situation was under control, Director Ma said, "Okay, shut up."
"Chen Xun, go write me a 5,000-word self-criticism." Director Ma pointed outside the door.
Chen Xun left in shame.
"Okay, let's go to class."
Afterwards, Director Ma began to lecture non-stop.
Qiao Ran was thinking about what Wang Yan said, because he felt that there was some truth in it, and he was someone who knew the truth very well.
Zhao Ye looked at Wang Yan fiercely. He could not just sit back and watch as his good brother was humiliated.
Lin Jiamo naturally stood with them. There was nothing she could do about it. Young people always had clear likes and dislikes.
Fang Wei had always had a good impression of Wang Yan, and she just felt that he had said what she wanted to say.
The other students were also thinking about what Wang Yan had just said. Some felt that Wang Yan was meddling in other people's business, some felt that he was right, and some blamed him for being too nosy, but they all signed their names.
After class, Director Ma left.
Zhao Ye slammed the table, and the chairs moved, making an unpleasant noise.
"Fuck, what's wrong with you? Why are you the only one who has so much trouble?" Zhao Ye walked over and pointed at Wang Yan.
Wang Yan grabbed his hand and twisted it clockwise. The force was so strong that Zhao Ye couldn't resist it at all. He squatted down and turned around with the force, lying face down on the ground, with his arm pressed against his back by Wang Yan.
"Hiss, it hurts, it hurts. Let me go." Zhao Ye couldn't struggle free, and the pain was getting worse and worse. He spoke quickly, he felt his arm was going to break.
Qiao Ran heard the noise and came over. Seeing his good brother being bullied like this, he shouted, "Let him go!" and hurried over to pry Wang Yan's hands apart.
But he was not as strong as Wang Yan, who just pulled, pushed, and twisted. "Ouch, it hurts, it hurts," he and Zhao Ye both squatted there.
Wang Yan knew he wouldn't really hurt them, so he leaned forward slightly in his chair and moved closer to Zhao Ye: "What did you just say?"
"I said... ouch...hiss..." Zhao Ye was about to speak when Wang Yan instantly increased his strength.
"What did you say?"
"I didn't say anything, I said everything."
"Well, the boy is teachable." Having said that, Wang Yan let the two men go.
Zhao Ye and Qiao Ran stood up and rubbed their shoulders quickly. It hurt so much.
"You..." Zhao Ye was about to say something harsh, but Qiao Ran knew the situation and, seeing that Wang Yan was about to get up, he quickly pulled him away.
He had felt that strength before and didn't want to experience it again.
After the two men left, Wang Yan glanced at the students who were watching the excitement around him, and they quickly dispersed.
He has offended the three bullies in this class. What a ruthless person.
Zhao Ye and Qiao Ran went outside to find Chen Xun playing basketball. Zhao Ye said, "Fuck, that guy is a piece of shit. He's so strong, it hurts like hell."
"What happened? Did he hit you?"
"I didn't hit him, it's just..." Zhao Ye repeated what happened just now.
After listening to him, Chen Xun said: "We can't just let this go."
Qiao Ran said, "I think what he said makes some sense, Chen Xun."
Of course Chen Xun knew that what Wang Yan said made sense, but so what?
"Qiao Ran, whose side are you on? He just did that to you two, and you're still speaking up for him?"
"Wasn't it Zhao Ye who started the trouble first?"
Zhao Ye felt wronged: "I'm seeking justice for Chen."
"Alright, alright, stop talking. Let's talk about that kid for two days. There's no way to do anything about him at school. The most urgent thing is tonight's game."
Chen Xun pondered for a moment and said, "I got it. I have an idea. I promise I can watch the game tonight."
Zhao Ye asked in a flattering tone, "What's the solution?"
Chen Xun raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly: "Come closer and listen."
The trio whispered to each other.
Returning to the classroom, Chen Xun snorted when he saw Wang Yan at the back. "This bastard is so annoying. Remember, he'll be in trouble."
In the evening, study on your own.
Chen Xun greeted the other two people, and seeing Wang Yan looking at him, he glared at him warningly, then sneaked out.
After a while, the lights in the classroom suddenly went out.
The male students were relatively okay, just stunned for a moment, but some of the female students were terrified, screaming like pigs being slaughtered.
At this time, the sound of running and cheering came from the bed in the corridor: "Go home, hahahaha."
Hearing the noise, they quickly followed suit and ran out like a swarm of bees.
I’m afraid that the lights will suddenly come on again and I’ll have to continue studying miserably.
There are still some people in the class who are in this situation. The teacher will be here soon.
They are also waiting for news to see what the teacher says.
Wang Yan sat there quietly, staring at the moonlight outside in the darkness.
In the darkness, Wang Yan felt someone was looking at him, and turned his head to look at the place where he felt someone was looking.
The classroom was extremely dark, and he couldn't see who was there. But he knew Fang Wei was sitting there.
Fang Wei just went out to the bathroom. When she came back, there was a sudden power outage and she bumped into the trio.
She came back to wait for the teacher's notice. She walked in silently and saw Wang Yan in the last row, bathed in moonlight.
The teachers over there noticed that the lights were out and hurried over to comfort the students.
Someone was sent to check the distribution box immediately, and it was discovered that the power switch had been turned off.
In an instant, Director Ma locked onto the target.
After all, it was normal for him to have doubts about what happened during the day.
He directly pulled back everyone who was watching the game outside.
Standing on the podium, Director Ma was furious. How could this be tolerated?
"Who did it? Huh? Who did it?"
(The courage I felt yesterday was gone after I slept. Let me write this, but no matter how I write, it feels like shit. Then I started thinking about the past, and unconsciously thought about my first love, and the secret love I had for her. The more I write, the less energy I have.)
