It was raining heavily outside the window, and the three children were studying in the room.
Jian Shiwu and Liu Heng were writing on the long table, awhile Shen Cheng was doing his homework in a small study next to them. In Zhen Meili's words, they should not affect Shen Cheng's studies. Jian Shiwu expressed that his mother's eccentric behaviour has gradually become a problem. He’d better used to it and accept reality.
The math test papers were spread out on the long table, and the two of them had their heads together, one bigger than the other.
Then Liu Heng said, "Brother Shi, you really don't want to copy the homework, you want to do it yourself?"
Jian Shiwu flipped through the math book and said, "Nonsense,if I copy homework now, what will I do in exams. Then I won't know anything, do you want me to lose to Ji Beichuan, and then have to bark like a dog? "
Having said all that, Liu Heng felt embarrassed to attack Jian Shiwu's enthusiasm, so he could only watch Jian Shiwu finish his test paper before coming over to take a look.
Jian Shiwu: "Do you think I did it right?"
Liu Heng hesitated: "Although I can't say what's wrong, I always feel that there is something wrong."
"You can get atleast two right anyway."
Liu Heng poked his arm and whispered, "Why don't you ask the class rep?"
Jian Shiwu also secretly peeked before looking away and lowered his voice: "Will Shen Cheng teach us?"
"...I can’t say."
The two looked at each other and fell silent for a moment.
Finally, Liu Heng said: "You go and ask."
"Why me?"
Liu Heng said confidently, "I'm not familiar with the class representative."
What?
Jian Shiwu was shocked: "And am familiar with him?!"
Liu Heng urged him: "Let him help check for mistakes, it’s not like we’re really asking him to teach us, let’s try."
Jian Shiwu thought about it and felt that it made some sense.
Holding the test paper in his hand, Jian Shiwu took a deep breath, walked the distance of an aisle, and went to Shen Cheng who was not far from the floor-to-ceiling window and said, "Class representative."
Shen Cheng looked up at him.
Jian Shiwu noticed that Shen Cheng was reading a book and not doing his homework, and was curious: "Aren't you doing homework?"
Shen Cheng: "I'm done."
...
?
Jian Shiwu had long known that Shen Cheng was smart, but he didn't expect it to be so terrifying. He and Liu Heng tossed and turned for half a day without finishing the math homework, while Shen Cheng finished all the subjects?
Jian Shiwu's hand trembled slightly while holding the test paper.
Shen Cheng asked, "Is something wrong?"
"Ah this..." Jian Shiwu really didn't want to learn how to bark like a dog, and said cheekily, "I just finished writing the questions, and I want you to help me take a look, if you're busy, forget it."
He was worried that Shen Cheng would refuse, but he didn't expect that he would agree.
Shen Cheng took the test paper in his hand and looked at it roughly, which caused Jian Shiwu to be very nervous. He glanced at Shen Cheng quietly, and when he found that his face was not very good, he said anxiously: "Is it..are there many mistakes?"
Shen Cheng raised his eyebrows: "No."
Jian Shiwu breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's just that there fewer right ones."
"..."
The corners of Jian Shiwu's mouth twitched, witstfully: "Which ones are right?"
Shen Cheng pointed to a multiple-choice question: "This one is right, and it has almost the same idea as the one below,so why was the one below wrong?"
Jian Shiwu felt his face burning with shame: "Because I got the top one right."
Shen Cheng's long finger tapped on the table, his gaze falling on the test paper, making Jian Shiwu feel like he was being tortured, as if he was on trial, humiliatd.
After a while
Shen Cheng put down the test paper and said, "You want to get into the top 30 with this level?"
Jian Shiwu was stunned: "You also know about the bet I made with Ji Beichuan."
At the same time as the question, Jian Shiwu’s heart made a leap, did Shen Cheng not hate him so much, or did he secretly care about his affairs?
Shen Cheng picked up the pen and wrote on the paper, saying, "Your voice is so loud that even the second row can hear it."
"……Oh."
On the white paper was Shen Cheng’s written solution. He handed it to Jian Shiwu and said in a low voice, "You don’t need to apply formulas to this problem, we learned about basic equations last semester, remember?"
Jian Shiwu felt guilty: "I don't remember."
Shen Cheng lowered his head and pulled out another question. He changed . After writing it, he showed it the solution, wrote it out and then showed it Jian Shiwu: "How about this?"
Jian Shiwu lowered his head to the ground: "Neither that one."
"..."
There was a moment of silence in the air.
After quite a while
Shen Cheng said to the door, "Come in."
Jian Shiwu turned around in surprise, and saw Liu Heng doggedly peeking at the door also holding a test paper. Seeing that he had been discovered, he walked in slowly and greeted awkwardly: "Hi, what a coincidence."
Shen Cheng asked the two of them to stand beside him. He picked up the pen and wrote down a more detailed solution to the problem on the paper. He also drew auxiliary lines to help understand it. Then he asked, "Got it? "
The two boys looked for a long time and were pleasantly surprised: "Understood!"
Liu Heng sighed: "A scholar is a scholar, they know everything."
Jian Shiwu: "Shen Cheng, you are so good, I don't think I need to learn how to bark!" Shen Cheng gave him the test paper: "Now that you know it, try the next question."
The confident Jian Shiwu is full of energy: "Okay!"
The draft paper was full of messy problem-solving processes. The two boys figured out two completely different answers and brought them to Shen Cheng, trying to get him to judge who got it right.
Shen Cheng took the test paper: "Not bad."
Jian Shiwu and Liu Heng were smiling happily.
Shen Cheng showed no mercy: "With so much written duing the problem-solving process, at least the teacher may give 0.5 as a sympathy score on the paper."
"..."
Ruthless.
It was raining heavily outside, thunder and lightning roared, the lights in the study were bright, and chattering discussions could be heard from time to time. On normal days, it could only be the entertainment sound of playing games or watching TV, but this time, it was battle with lights on, and the rustling of paper.
When Zhen Meimei came over after eleven o'clock, the three in the room were already asleep, the study was covered with a soft carpet, Jian Shiwu huddled on the carpet, there was a test paper on his face, next to it was Liu Heng chewing on his pen,and Shen Cheng sat on the reclining chair of the desk, leaning against it for a nap.
"Why are you sleeping here..."
Zhen Meili wanted to come in, but was held back.
Jian's father smiled at her and said softly, "Take a blanket, turn on the air conditioner in the house, so they don't catch a cold. The child is tired. Let him sleep if he wants to, it’s been quite hard.”
Zhen Mei responded.
After a while, she came out from the inside with a heavy heart and said to Jian's father: "Shen Cheng, this child, his brows are wrinkled when he sleeps, I feel distressed when I look at him, you have to check the situation at his home, I feel uneasy.”
Father Jian helped her go upstairs: "don't worry, it's a big deal, no joking, I'll check it out."
Zhen Meili breathed a sigh of relief.
...
the next day
After the rainstorm, it was another sunny day.
The sky is cloudless, the sun is shining, the temperature is gradually rising, and there are birds chirping outside the window, which is comfortable and natural.
When Jian Shiwu woke up, he sat up with a jerk, and because of the range of motion, he almost kicked Liu Heng's head, and both of them woke up in a daze.
Liu Heng hesitated: "What are you doing?"
Jian Shiwu shook his shoulder: "Don't sleep, where’s Shen Cheng?"
Liu Heng opened his sleepy eyes and looked around the room, surprised: "He's gone."
The two got up and opened the door. The huge villa was very quiet. When Jian Shiwu opened the door of the wash room, he found a set of clothes that had been used and then put back in order. The desk that was a mess was tidied up,and when they went downstairs, there were no more of Shen Cheng’s shoes in the shoe cabinet.
He was gone.
Clean, polite and detached.
Liu Heng clicked his tongue and said, "I thought I had established a revolutionary friendship with Shen Cheng last night, and he taught us to do homework last night."
Jian Shiwu said in his heart that you don't understand Shen Cheng too well.
In his previous life, Shen Cheng was the most talked about person in the business world. He is ruthless and decisive, and he had no weaknesses. He would do anything to achieve his goals with a cool heart. Under that handsome and elegant face, is an executioner with a cold heart.
If you can't see your own weight and try to daydream, you will be the last loser.
...
morning school
Jian Shiwu and Liu Heng arrived at the school not too early but not too late, two people with breakfast in their hands went upstairs, only to see a familiar figure standing by the stairway.
Shen Cheng stood on the stairway, and in front of him was a shy girl with her head lowered. During the whole process, Shen Cheng was expressionless. Although he didn't show it and his face was cold and indifferent, but thanks to Jian Shiwu's years of living together, immediately saw the well-hidden impatience.
Liu Heng whispered: "Confession."
Jian Shiwu was happily eating melons: "I bet this is unsuccessful."
"No way, she’s beautiful."
Jian Shiwu's chubby face was triumphant, and he said in his heart that there was no way she would be liked by Shen Cheng, her beauty ranking was too low. In his previous life, Shen Cheng had seen all the top beauties, and none of them had succeeded.
Just as he was thinking about it, the girl over there cried and ran away. She ran towards Jian Shiwu and Liu Heng and happened to bump into Jian Shiwu's expression of eating melons.
The girl pearly-eyed angry, "What the hell are you looking at fatty, didn't you also get rejected, he doesn't like you either!"
"..."
Shot while lying down.
Jian Shiwu couldn't swallow his anger, and raised his chest: "Stop."
The girl stopped in her tracks.
"Yes, he doesn't care about me." Jian Shiwu straightened his back, justifying his pride as he finally made a name for himself, filled with pride he said, "But I don't like him anymore either."
Both the girl and Liu Heng were stunned.
The girls was so surprised that she forgot to cry. After all, who didn't know that Jian Shiwu had liked Shen Cheng for several years. How could he just change his mind? She actually wanted to pursue the matter to the end: "Then, who do you like?"
Jian Shiwu sneered: "You don’t have to care, anyway, he's better and smarter than Shen Cheng."
For a moment, the girl's attention was not on Jian Shiwu's body, but instead fell on the stairway not far away. Shen Cheng's body, although the distance was a little far, but her eyesight was very good, and she could barely see Shen Cheng. Cheng's face. She doesn't know if it was her illusion, the young man standing there a gloomy face, completely different from the coldness that just rejected her.
...
Morning self-study class
Before handing in the homework, Jian Shiwu sat in his seat and checked the test paper for the last time. Yesterday, Shen Cheng taught him most of the questions, and only one of the questions was done by Jian Shiwu, but he fell asleep before Shen Cheng could check it. After thinking about it, it would be better for Shen Cheng to take a look.
With his mind made up, Jian Shiwu took the test paper and went.
"Class representative." Jian Shiwu walked to the second row: "Can you take a look at this question, did I write it correctly?"
Shen Cheng was sitting upright, reading a book, without even raising his head, his tone very indifferent, and he said in a low voice, "It is the teacher's job to correct the homework."
What a lie! , Wasn't it you who corrected my homework yesterday!
What happened, did he offend him by snoring in his sleep last night?
Jian Shiwu said nervously: "Because...actually, I just want you to see if I've done it right."
Shen Cheng heard Jian Shiwu's milky and aggrieved voice. He raised his head, lifting his eyes to look at him: "Why don't you go find that better and smarter person and ask him to check for you."
