Wenhao: This child has been smart since he was young

Chapter 40 The atmosphere is not harmonious
Time is like a naked child, running around everywhere. When you look at him, it seems that he is running very slowly, but as soon as you shift your view away, the child disappears.

When Gu Lu was seriously copying texts, time passed quickly. However, once his attention shifted away from the task of copying texts and he started to “prepare” for something, time instantly slowed down.

As the days passed, with Teacher Li's suspicion that "there are only less than 20 days left before the high school entrance examination", the learning atmosphere in the school became more and more intense. Even Xie Fangqi, the baboon who liked to chase and play with boys, became much quieter.

Even if another boy took the initiative to provoke her, such as Zhang Yudong, or Zhang Yudong, or Zhang Yudong, she would only say, "If you pull my hair again, I will sue Teacher Li."

Students with good grades worry that they may not perform well, and students with above-average grades always feel that they will not pass the exam. Xie Fangqi is one of those above-average students.

In just four or five days, everyone seemed like a taut bowstring.

Such a tense atmosphere is created by the combined effect of the teacher's emphasis and the parents' expectations.

Rounds of in-class tests.

"Wow, wow, wow--" Chen Na, the class monitor who always had stable grades, burst into tears. She got the last big question on the math test wrong and only got 138 points.

Zhao Juan, who was on good terms with her, was trying to comfort her, but while she was comforting her, she started to cry. Her ability to empathize was too strong.

It was difficult for Gu Lu to understand. It was not because she found it difficult to understand why she would cry over an unimportant in-class test, but because she found it difficult to understand how much psychological pressure a top student must be under.

I'm sorry, no matter in the previous life or this life, he has always been a poor student...

Teacher Yan, who has a harsh tone and has been teaching for more than ten years, was keenly aware of this. So when reviewing the test papers, she did not choose to scold the students who lost the "must-score" points.

"You should be able to answer this question correctly. I believe you are just under too much pressure. Don't put so much pressure on yourself. As long as you perform at your usual level, you will have no problem in the high school entrance examination." Teacher Yan said this, and his shrill voice seemed to have softened a lot.

Caught up in the tense atmosphere, Gu Lu was also a little nervous. He didn't know why he was nervous since his track was obviously not an exam.

"I'm older than Conan, but I'm still so easily influenced by others. Gu Lu, Gu Lu, can you be more steady and look at others--" Gu Lu said in his heart.

Wang Wenjun, Zhang Yudong, Bai Xiaohua, Chen Xue and others have completely given up on their future... No, this is not the right way to judge.

Failing to get into high school does not mean having no future. The poor students who give up on the high school entrance examination have a feeling of: let him be strong as he wants, and let the breeze blow across the hills.

Gu Lu was not idle during this period. He signed another contract with "Story Club" at a price of 140 yuan per thousand words.

Thirty thousand words, and another four thousand five hundred. So far, the Story Club editorial department has 11 works that Gu Lu has reviewed but not published.

"Story Club" is not a collection of short stories by Gu Lu alone. Only two stories will be published in each issue, and it will take until mid-autumn to publish all of them.

I will not submit any more manuscripts for the time being. In Gu Lu's plan, whether it is The Little Prince or the synthesis of an unknown mystery book, his serialization career will be able to go further.

"The manuscript of 'Time and Space Mystery' will probably be approved soon," Gu Lu thought, but for some reason his mind wandered off. "Xiaotian and Lu Lanyi from Class 1 should also be approved soon. Why did this rebellious son have to choose the time of the high school entrance exam to fall in love?"

When school was about to end, Teacher Li came to tell Gu Lu that they decided to leave for the competition on Friday.

Because it starts at 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, the arena is the West Campus of Chengdu Experimental Foreign Languages ​​School. The specific address and Chengdu Shuangliu Airport are both in Shuangliu District.

Teacher Ke Li believed that the fatigue from the long journey after getting off the plane would affect his condition, so he went to rest a day in advance.

"..." Gu Lu thought about the words for a long time before saying, "Will it be too expensive for Teacher Li if we arrive a day early?"

Although Gu Lu has only been here for about a month, whether it is based on his original body's memories or this month, Teacher Li has taken good care of him.

"Don't worry, the school will reimburse the expenses." Teacher Li explained, "You are here to bring honor to the school, so the expenses will definitely be covered by the school."

The school is cheap, so why not take advantage of it? Gu Lu was relieved.

After school - with a whoosh, it seemed that Zhao Juan and Chen Na had something to announce, but Gu Lu was gone. Gu Lu filled the hole in the sofa with bedding, and he could lie down again.

There was a lot of cotton wool in Gu Lu's house, because Gu's father used to like to invite friends to come over to "rest", and the cotton wool was prepared at that time.

He was chatting with his cheap sister on Mobile Fantasy——

[Er Xi Nan Xi Xi: I haven’t been to Chengdu yet. It is said that you can see baby giant pandas at the Giant Panda Base.

My dear: Brother, are you really going to participate in the Ye Shengtao Cup?
The original owner's sister, Gu Jiayu's name is Martian, which means "I am a female knight". The last time Gu Lu was hanging up on QQ with the fat boss, he took a screenshot of this name and saved it in his own cloud disk.

Gu Lu thought it would be very interesting if he sent this screenshot to Gu Jiayu when she grew up.

[Juchang: Of course.

My dear brother, you are awesome!
After getting the exact news, Gu Jiayu couldn't wait to tell her mother.

Mother Gu's reaction was a sneer. Yes, it was indeed a sneer, and Gu Jiayu saw it clearly.

"Really, my brother is also very good. He is one of the best students in Sichuan Province and Fog City." Gu Jiayu added immediately.

"What is Ye Shengtao Cup? Will participating in these help with the high school entrance exam?" Gu's mother came up and asked back.

Gu Jiayu didn't know if it would help, but, "But..."

"Don't say but, go get your homework for today." said Gu's mother.

"Okay." Gu Jiayu responded sullenly.

"What's the point of organizing some weird competitions?" Mother Gu snorted coldly.

Watching the conversation between the two, I can't help but think of a sentence by Yi Shu, which I slightly adapted based on the relationship: "When a mother no longer loves a child, it is wrong for him to cry, it is wrong for him to be silent, it is wrong for him to live and breathe, and it is even more wrong for him to die."

After checking her daughter's homework and washing the dirty clothes at home, Gu's mother called Gu's father.

No one answered the first call. Mother Gu frowned, and it was easy to guess that he was drinking with his friends again.

It took the third time for the call to be connected.

"Hello, what's up?" A drunken voice came from the other end of the line.

"How is Gu Lu doing recently?" Gu's mother asked coldly.

The cold and familiar voice made Father Gu regain consciousness and mutter, "Nothing has happened recently, I'm fine."

"Did you know that Gu Lu participated in Ye Shengtao's essay competition and won a prize?" asked Gu's mother.

"Yes, I know everything about Ye Taozi's competition, Yaya..."

Mother Gu hung up the phone on Father Gu directly. There is nothing nice to hear when a drunk person says something.

After getting drunk, she would start crying whenever she called for Yaya, then say that she was wrong and beg for forgiveness. Mother Gu was tired of hearing it.

After hearing that Gu Lu was fine, Gu's mother no longer paid attention to him.

The excuses we make for ourselves are always perfect to ourselves.
