1987 My Era

Chapter 37, Battle of Wisdom and Courage

"Tell me about it?"

The teacher and the student were confronting each other for a long time, one sitting and the other standing. Finally, the head teacher Wang Qi couldn't bear it any longer and spoke first to break the silence.

When it comes to patience, Li Heng, who has lived two lives, is simply an idiot. Who the hell is he afraid of?

During those 7 years in the system, the daughter-in-law is almost becoming a mother-in-law, and now she can tolerate more than anyone else.

As for?
What are you saying?

Li Heng had an idea of ​​what the teacher was asking, but he wasn't stupid enough to confess it on his own initiative.

Nowadays, what's the difference between confessing that you're in love with a girl and courting death?
Seeing his clear yet confused eyes, Wang Qi took out a cigarette and a lighter from the drawer, lowered his head to light one, and took three deep puffs in a row before he suppressed his temper that was about to explode.

The head teacher blew out two smoke rings and asked, "You have been sitting well with Sun Manning for the past few years, why did you suddenly change people?"

Li Heng directly passed the buck: "Sun Manning said she was tired of eating sea cucumber and bird's nest every day and wanted to change to a new taste."

"Cough cough cough...!"

Suddenly, Wang Qi was choked by the self-boasting words and started coughing for a long time.

The tobacco went down his throat.

After all, he is an old monster who has lived for decades. I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen someone so shameless. He actually compares himself to sea cucumber and bird's nest?
You should know that the meaning of the four words "sea cucumber and bird's nest" now is no less than that in later generations. It is a synonym for the highest level and has extremely high gold content.

Looking at Li Heng's face, which was better than a woman's skin, Wang Qi asked, "Why did you choose Song Yu as your deskmate?"

Li Heng replied: "She is good at foreign languages. I want to learn foreign languages ​​from her."

It is true that Song Yu is good at English, but the experienced Wang Qi always feels that this boy’s answers are not very reliable.

Wang Qi asked again: "Mai Sui's English is just as good, why not Mai Sui?"

Li Heng pretended to be innocent and said, "Teacher, if I choose wheat ears, won't I be sent to the dark room?"

There is always a kind of people in this world whose existence is simply an irony to ordinary people.

For example, Song Yu.

For example, Xiao Han.

The two girls are recognized as the most beautiful girls in Shao No. 1 Middle School.

Whether in terms of appearance, temperament, or talent, Song Yu and Xiao Han are both outstanding and hard to match.

The huge gap has caused the majority of male compatriots to despair and give up collectively.

It really fits the words in "On the Love of Lotus": It can only be viewed from a distance and not played with.

This is also the reason why, even though Class 204 clearly has a ceiling like Song Yu, Liu Li and others dare not approach her and instead put their hearts on Chen Lijun.

Because I’m not worthy of it!

When facing Song Yu, everyone will unconsciously develop a sense of self-ashamed humility and feel that they are not from the same country.

Li Heng had the same feeling in his previous life.

This was also the reason why he did not dare to contact or pursue Song Yu too much for a while after graduating from high school.

Apart from the two bugs of Song Yu and Xiao Han, there are also quite a few boys who like Mai Sui's "natural inner charm". They secretly praise her as the third golden flower after the two beauties.

Honestly speaking, before he met Mai Sui, Li Heng would associate "inner charm" with maturity and age.

But after seeing the wheat ears, I realized that inner charm is not a synonym, but a feeling.

Li Heng successfully used wheat ears to defeat the head teacher. The effect was so amazing that it stumped Wang Qi.

To be honest, if this kid chose Mai Sui as his deskmate today, Wang Qi would also call him for a talk.

There was no other way. Based on his decades of teaching experience, if the boy has a good look and the girl is naturally beautiful and both have excellent grades, the probability of them being attracted to each other after sitting together for a long time is much higher than if they are two people of different looks.

How could he, as the class teacher, relax at this critical juncture of the college entrance examination?
How dare you relax?
Seeing that Li Heng was adamant and refused to admit his mistake, Wang Qi did not want to push him too much. This was the preferential treatment for top students.

If it was another boy, even if it was Zou Aiming who was in the top ten of the class, Wang Qi would just change his position and give the order directly without even saying hello.

After staring at each other for a long time, Wang Qi flicked the cigarette ash with his finger, pointed at the stool in front of him and said:

"Sit down for a while and chat with the teacher."

Li Heng didn't know what politeness meant, so he sat down as he was told.

Wang Qi put away his superior attitude, took a breath, and changed into the attitude of a kind elder and asked: "According to the English teacher, you and Chen Zijin were in a relationship before, right?"

what?
Is that your English teacher Wang Runwen?

You are so plump, and you actually betrayed me?
I thought you had some rebellious intentions towards me. I really failed to live up to your expectations. It's so disappointing.

This is what happened, but Li Heng certainly couldn't admit it all, but he didn't say anything definite either.

Since the teacher has spoken, it means he has a definite idea in mind.

Don't treat others as fools.

Therefore, complete denial is equivalent to affirmation, which is a bad idea and should not be adopted.

He showed a shy expression at the right time, "Teacher, we haven't reached that stage yet, we just have some vague feelings for each other."

Wang Qi asked: "Chen Zijin went to Beijing, are you still in touch?"

Li Heng replied, "The gap is too big. I have to get into a good university first."

His words were vague, but the head teacher understood immediately that the gap referred to the family.

His statement was a good one. Admitting his feelings for Chen Zijin was equivalent to indirectly severing his relationship with Song Yu.

Thinking of this, Wang Qi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

In the eyes of their teacher, Song Yu and Chen Zijin were once inseparable classmates and friends, so Li Heng should be innocent towards Song Yu.

Did I really misunderstand the other person?

However, Wang Qi has been a teacher for more than 20 years. What kind of behavior has he not seen from students?

Of course, I would not easily believe Li Heng's one-sided words.

Whether it is true or not, we will know later by asking Song Yu.

After 20 minutes of chatting, the office changed from being cloudy to sunny, with people talking and laughing. It was a picture of harmony between teachers and students.

Wang Qi patted him on the shoulder and said earnestly, "The college entrance examination is just a few months away. You should put aside your romantic feelings and make a final sprint in your studies to get into Tsinghua University or Peking University.

In the future, if you and Chen Zijin are married, I will definitely send you my blessing and come to your wedding."

Anyway, Chen Zijin is no longer a middle school student, so Wang Qi's move highlights his stability.

While stabilizing Li Heng, he can also provoke him. After all, this is a good seedling, and if the measures are appropriate, he may be able to achieve great things.

And this major event naturally refers to Tsinghua University and Peking University.

In the eyes of teachers at their level, only Tsinghua University and Peking University can add to their resumes and glory.

"Thank you for your encouragement, teacher. I will work hard." Although Old Wang was a bit fierce, he had nothing to say to him. Li Heng said thank you sincerely.

Seeing him return to the classroom safely, many students looked at each other in bewilderment. They felt unhappy. Wasn't this Nine Thousand Year Old Man treating them too differently?
Although everyone knew that they would most likely become strangers with Song Yu after graduation, it was inevitable that Li Heng felt a little jealous when he was so close to Song Yu under his nose.

Seeing him sit down and concentrate on studying, Song Yu thought for a moment and tore off a note.

Write with concern: I hope the teacher didn’t make things difficult for you?
Then handed it to him.

After reading, Li Heng replied: Yes, he asked me why I didn’t choose Wheat Ear? But I chose you as my deskmate?
Song Yu was silent.

Li Heng knew that he couldn't ask further given her reserved personality, so he took the initiative to write: I said I like you.

After staring at the note for five or six seconds, Song Yu silently put the note into the drawer.

Li Heng tore off another piece of paper and wrote: I turned the tables on the teacher and said that it made no difference whether I chose you or wheat ears, but in the end, we were both sent to the small dark room...

After learning about the whole process of his battle of wits and courage with the head teacher, Song Yu showed a faint smile in her eyes, then she calmed down and went back to work on her homework. After a while, the head teacher appeared at the door and shouted, "Song Yu, come out for a moment."

The classroom was silent. The teacher's shout did not alarm Li Heng, who continued to write "To Live".

Because he believed that with Song Yu's intelligence, she would not be easily tricked by the class teacher.

What's more, I had just told her everything that happened in the office.

...

office.

Wang Qi asked Song Yu to sit down and began to ask about her well-being: "Are you feeling stressed in your studies recently?"

Song Yu sat upright and answered calmly, "Not bad."

Wang Qi nodded and asked again, "How is your relationship with Li Heng?"

Song Yu knew that this was what the class teacher was really concerned about. "It's not bad. He and I are both good friends of Chen Zijin."

If Li Heng didn't mention Chen Zijin, then she wouldn't mention it either, as that would bring him trouble.

Her answers now were all based on the information Li Heng had given her to deal with the teacher's questions.

Wang Qi understood the hidden meaning in her words and said happily: "You and Mai Sui, as well as Xiao Feng and Luo Zhijie from the next class, are the top seeds for the liberal arts entrance exams to Tsinghua University and Peking University this year. The school and I have high hopes for you.

You have studied hard for so many years, you must not relax at this time, and do not be distracted by things other than studying, otherwise it is easy to lose the big picture because of the small details. "

A good drum does not need a heavy hammer. When facing a top student like Song Yu, Wang Qi has a different attitude, less preaching and more earnest advice and humanity.

What are things other than studying?
Of course, I'm talking about a romantic relationship.

Song Yu is such a smart person, how could she not understand? "Well, thank you, teacher."

"Okay, go ahead and study hard. If you encounter something that you don't know how to deal with, remember to come to your teacher in time." Wang Qi carefully reminded him again to be on the safe side.

Song Yu nodded slightly and returned to the classroom.

Li Heng was a little surprised to see her come back so soon, but he didn't ask much. After looking at her, he devoted himself to writing "To Live" again.

That night, Li Heng wrote furiously and did not stop until 10 o'clock.

It’s about 3000 words.

If the classroom was not about to close and the lights were not turned off, and if Sun Manning, who was in charge of the classroom keys, had not kept urging him to leave, he would still be reluctant to leave and would have been able to continue writing.

After screwing the pen cap on and closing the ink bottle tightly, Li Heng lowered his head to blow dry the pen words he had just written, and then put them into his schoolbag.

Only after doing all this did he have time to look up and observe the classroom.

It's better not to look at it.

When I looked around, wow! Almost everyone in the classroom had left.

Including Zhang Zhiyong and Liu Li, they were both missing. I guess those two guys saw that he was immersed in his studies and didn't come to disturb him.

Now the only people left in the classroom were Sun Manning in the front row, and Song Yu and Mai Sui who were waiting for her.

Sun Manning held out the electronic watch on her right wrist to him and said, "Li Heng, you know how to read the watch, right? Look at the time now. The three of us have been waiting for you for 20 minutes."

It was indeed him who delayed others. Li Heng had a very good attitude and apologized, "It's my fault. How about I buy you three some soda?"

Being able to drink soda these days is definitely a happy thing. It is not cheap, and can even be said to be extremely expensive.

Sun Manning looked him up and down in surprise and asked out of the blue, "How much is your living expenses this month?"

Facing the three women's gazes, Li Heng answered frankly: "More than six yuan, less than seven yuan."

Sun Manning's face twitched as she mocked him, "You are so generous even though you are poor. You dare to brag about buying us three sodas? Aren't you afraid that you won't even be able to afford buns later?"

Li Heng stood up without blushing and said, "Comrade rich woman, you think too much. I didn't say bottled. I meant the kind that costs ten cents a bag."

Sun Manning was speechless. He pointed at Song Yu, then at the wheat ears, and opened fire:

"Don't you even look at who's standing in front of you? They're Song Yu and Mai Sui! How many boys drool over these fairies behind their backs? How dare you pay even a dime for them???"

Li Heng stretched himself lazily and said calmly: "A mountain is not famous for its height, but for the immortals living there; a river is not famous for its depth, but for the dragons living there.

You are a scholar, yet you are so vulgar.

I invited them out of my heart. I believe that with our relationship, even if I treat them to plain water, they will be able to taste the sweetness. "

"Yes, yes, we are vulgar. Let's go. Let Song Yu enjoy your bowl of boiled water." Having said that, Sun Manning directly pulled Mai Sui, who was watching the fun, away.

Two people left suddenly and the classroom fell silent instantly.

Song Yu was a quiet and steady person, and was not affected by Sun Manning's words. Instead, she hesitated for a moment and asked:
"I noticed you were writing something other than the textbook all night. What was that? Were you writing a story?"

Li Heng asked casually: "Did you see it?"

Song Yu shook her head gently: "I didn't pay close attention, I just noticed that you didn't even open your textbook, so I glanced at it."

In fact, in a class like theirs where the city's top students gather, the learning atmosphere is very strong. Most people are busy with their own things, so how can they have the time to care about others?

This is also the reason why Zhang Zhiyong and Liu Li did not call Li Heng when they saw him concentrating on writing. They thought he was doing exercises and were afraid that he would be distracted.

Li Heng said: "It's not a storytelling session, it's a novel. I suddenly had the urge to earn some royalties, but I don't know if there's any chance of success."

Song Yu knew his family situation and could understand his urgency to make money, but she still tried to comfort him:
"The scholarship exam is in 5 days. With your grades, I think you can focus on this for the time being."

Li Heng understood that the other party did not take his novel writing seriously.

Indeed, if you put yourself in his shoes, he wouldn't take it seriously either.

Li Heng said: "Yeah, I know, thank you for your concern."

Song Yu looked at him carefully and knew that he didn't listen at all, but due to their relationship, she didn't say anything more.

Li Heng's dormitory number is 215, located on the far right of the second floor of the boys' dormitory building.

When he walked near the door, he felt something was wrong. It was too quiet inside, which was not in line with the temperament of 215.

As far as I can remember, there was never a time when we didn’t argue for a long time.

He was often criticized in school radio announcements and was known to be fearless and had poor discipline.

The door was ajar, and when Li Heng stuck his head out, he met the gazes of his head teacher Wang Qi and the school's vice-principal.

Okay, after looking at each other for a moment, he understood. It’s not that 215 didn’t quarrel, but that these bastards had probably been taught a lesson for their mistakes.

But the lights are not turned off yet, why are you greeting me in advance?

With doubts, Li Heng walked into the dormitory with a solemn atmosphere, "Teacher, Principal."

Wang Qi looked at his watch and said, "Turn off the lights immediately, wash up and go to bed."

Li Heng responded and hurried to the public bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, then obediently climbed onto the bed.

The two leaders stayed for a long time before leaving. Later, he secretly asked Liu Li in the next bed, "What's going on?"

Liu Li told him, "Liu Yejiang and Zou Aiming had a falling out and had a fight. It was so fierce that the principal on duty was attracted. I don't know why."

"Oh, so that's what it is." Li Heng understood immediately.

Liu Li was confused, turned over and asked: "Do you know the reason?"

Li Heng uttered three words: "Chen Lijun."

Liu Li was stunned on the spot. After a while, he said depressedly: "I want to fight too."

Suddenly, a head popped up between the two of them. "Go ahead and fight. The teacher supports you with a butcher knife!"

Li Heng and Liu Li turned their heads aside at the same time, with horror in their eyes.

Teacher Wang Qi, why are you such a dog?!
