Chapter 3: The Elders’ Earnest Expectations
“What do you want to be?”
In the office, Comrade Lao Li looked at Linzhou's face and asked this question very seriously.
This child is good in every way except that he doesn't like to study.
I sleep in class every day and play after class. Except for learning what is in the textbooks, I learn everything very quickly.
Now the total score is just enough to pass the first-tier line.
Although academic qualifications are not the only criterion, they are the entry ticket to many jobs.
Lin Zhou was standing at his desk. When he heard the question, he didn't even think about it. He just answered, "I want to be someone who fights for the cause of communism all his life."
When Old Li heard this answer, he looked at Linzhou seriously. He really couldn't . This was the standard answer.
So he could only change the subject.
"The new deskmate I arranged for you is the transfer student. He's a very good student. You just need to follow his lead and learn a little bit..."
"Um."
Linzhou nodded without any expression.
It doesn’t matter about my deskmate, Jiang Xiyue is quite cute, but forget about studying hard.
The halfway point of a mountain has its advantages, but meeting at the top requires an equal price, and there is no free lunch in the world.
Holding his glass teacup, Lao Li was speechless. Why didn't this kid understand?
"The teacher is talking to you so that you can express your own opinions. You are not allowed to say 'hmm'."
"Oh." Linzhou still maintained the same attitude, but he subconsciously glanced towards the corridor.
Jiang Xiyue, holding two red and blue thermoses, flitted past the office door like a butterfly.
At this point, Comrade Lao Li didn't know what to say. Did this kid seem to be cultivating immortality? He refused to eat anything, and nothing he said would work...
The first class was about to start, and the conversation was in vain.
"I won't say more. Teacher, remember that you have passed your 18th birthday. You are already an adult. You need to make reasonable plans for your future."
"Well, thank you Teacher Li. Can you give me a pack of tea? I have finished my coffee." Linzhou laughed and rubbed his hands.
After all, Jiang Xiyue went to get him some water, so he had to show some appreciation.
Old Li, sitting on the chair, looked at Linzhou thoughtfully, then opened the drawer and took out two bags of tea from the corner.
"One of the packets is for classmate Xiao Jiang, please don't embezzle it."
"That's not possible, although this tea is indeed good."
Linzhou took the tea with both hands with a smile, turned around and left, leaving no chance for Lao Li.
He felt his elders' earnest expectations, but he couldn't express his true feelings.
If you tell Lao Li directly that he is just waiting to die, he will probably call his parents because his father is still working as a shady boss thousands of miles away.
If I knew, I would probably receive fatherly love from thousands of miles away.
Father’s love is like a landslide.
…
The corridors were full of students who had come out to get some fresh air after self-study, leaning on the railings to look at the scenery on campus.
The atrium surrounded by four buildings is empty, with only the sycamore tree that is said to be of the same age as the school surrounded by a circular flower bed. Its leaves are yellow and look particularly beautiful.
It's autumn already.
Realizing this, Linzhou quickly walked towards the classroom. The best thing to do in autumn is, of course, taking a nap.
This class seems to be about mathematics...
How can taking a nap be considered sleeping? And do you really need to learn something like math well?
It's not that you don't know any knowledge points, just practice a thousand questions.
Lin Zhou pushed open the classroom door skillfully and saw a dark shadow approaching, shouting some very lethal words.
"Linzhou old thief, I'll chop off your dog head!"
"I am Zhao Zilong from Changshan, who are you?" After seeing the true face of the black shadow, Linzhou took a step back, picked up the broom at the door, and got ready.
The person in front of me is the class leader, the sports committee member...
She stood two meters away from Linzhou, her face cold and she seemed a little angry.
"Linzhou, come here, I want to tell you something."
"put!"
"That's right, girls are creatures that will be very happy if you pay a little attention to them."
"ha?"
"It's okay, just take care of your deskmate."
…
Linzhou was a little confused. He sat in his seat, thinking about what had just been said. What did it mean?
How could he not understand.
What the outspoken sports committee member said was definitely a literal meaning, but... it was precisely because of the literal meaning that he didn't understand.
If you pay a little more attention, your deskmate will be very happy.
Then this little guy must feel what a kind fatherly love is.
A girl who dares to pretend to be someone's father on the street doesn't . Linzhou is the one who needs care.
Linzhou's brain underwent subtle changes in just a few seconds.
Jiang Xiyue returned to the classroom when the bell was about to ring. The blue cup was smashed heavily on the table, followed by a fierce sound.
"There's no hot water. Your dad went to get you a cup of milk tea. Just drink it."
"Where did you get it?" Linzhou was a little surprised. Theoretically, it was impossible to buy milk tea at this time.
Even if the milk tea shop is less than 500 meters away from the school gate, it is still out of reach.
Sitting in her seat holding her thermos cup, Jiang Xiyue answered Linzhou's question, "I asked my aunt to buy it. I spent the 40-minute break waiting in the security room!"
If Linzhou guessed correctly, the auntie the other party was referring to should be a person with a profession called a nanny.
At this time, a nanny who is on call at any time would cost at least several thousand yuan.
Damn bourgeoisie!
Unscrew the lid of the cup, and you can smell a strong milky aroma inside, which is obviously not the kind of thing mixed with industrial flavors and cheap milk powder.
Linzhou picked up the cup and was about to taste it when a white and tender little hand was placed on the rim of the cup.
Then came Jiang Xiyue’s expectant look.
After looking at the other person, Linzhou turned his head away and answered in a low voice.
"Thanks ."
"Just look at me and say that!"
Jiang Xiyue's voice came from behind...
Linzhou didn't look back. He really couldn't say thank you to the cute girl.
He can openly admit on the Internet that he is a certain character's dog, but he just can't say thank you to a cute girl in real life.
If you are joking, you can say it casually, but you can't say it seriously.
…Pah!!
Two somewhat cold little hands pressed on Linzhou's face and applied a rotational force at the same time.
"Hurry up and say thank you. I want to hear it today!"
"I'll kowtow to you, okay." Linzhou's face was flattened by the little hand, but he still remained stubborn and would never say thank you even if he was beaten to death.
But Jiang Xiyue's little hands are very soft and delicate.
At least it's much better than his rough old face...
After thinking for a long time with her lips pursed, Jiang Xiyue changed her request.
"Come and help me tonight, thank you is not necessary"
