Tilting his head slightly, the repetitive voice was a bit loud, causing other students to raise their heads and give sideways glances in search of meaning, "I really haven't heard of it."

"It's not a common disease, nor can it be cured by taking an aspirin."

"Do you still feel uncomfortable?" Xia Jianjun asked, "Do you sometimes feel uncomfortable in your current school?"

"Very few."

"Will it affect your life?" A female classmate took the initiative to ask, and the question was casual and ordinary, without any seriousness.Peng Xiaoman thought her face was familiar, and remembered that her surname was Jiang.

"Yes, you can't exercise vigorously, and you can't overwork."

"It's like the one in the TV series." The girl smiled, and said the matter calmly, leaving no trace.

"Do you still need a heart transplant in the future?"

Peng Xiaoman thought for a while, and remembered that the girl with short hair and short ears who asked the question should be surnamed Chen. After accepting her homework, she didn't say anything, "No need."

"Then take medicine to cure?"

"It's hard to cure, it can only be controlled."

Peng Xiaoman saw a bright flash in her eyes, and then quickly, swiftly, and unobtrusively exchanged a subtle look and mouth movement with the companion at hand, lowered his head and whispered, a little pitiful.

Pitiful.Peng Xiaoman never felt that way, let alone think about it.He felt that it was just God's silence, nothing could be done, and he didn't blame anyone.He felt that sometimes he was optimistic and heartless to the extreme, even a little deliberate, to the point where he could be called hypocritical.I do things by myself, without leaving any embarrassment or tossing and turning. It's just that this thing is just buried, and the dampness and stiffness on the back of the sun are covered with fresh and beautiful things. It's not digested. One day, Even the biggest holes can be filled.

Being described as pitiful, it's like being grabbed with great force along with the heart.It was as if he had leaked out all of a sudden, and was caught by a squinting glance.Suddenly, Peng Xiaoman's heartbeat quickened a bit, he felt faintly swollen, faintly short of breath, looking around, there was no place for him to temporarily block, slow down, or borrow strength.

Xia Jianjun's utilitarianism and educational goals and ambitions made him daunting, Wang Chenyu seemed to be different from what he thought, and the people around him were even more strange and distant, forming an exclusive group together, a circle without gaps.Peng Xiaoman is the focal point circled in the center at the moment, not everyone pays attention to him, but they look at him from all directions, penetrating into every hole.

Peng Xiaoman wanted to leave immediately, raised his head and blinked his eyes, wanted to say a haha ​​and apologize first, but ended up keeping his mouth shut.

"Hey."

Li Yuan stood behind Wang Chenyu, and called Peng Xiaoman through him, "I've been looking for you for a long time."

The ordinary five characters, if recalled later, can be said to be the sound of the Qingyue bell passing through the mountains and mist, forming a straight and slightly dusty yellow light.It is more Zen-like, and it can purify people, not because of the content of the words, but because of the person who speaks.

Peng Xiaoman was taken aback, and quickly turned around to look at Li Yuan, wondering why the game ended so quickly, why he was able to find him, why he was so pleasing to the eye in turmeric.

But Li Yuan was stunned afterwards.He saw an indescribable whisper for help in Peng Xiaoman's eyes, which was weaker than any "Peng Xiaoman" he had seen before, softer and more real, with gestures of anger and sorrow.Li Yuan had no choice but to worry about this, ignoring everyone's attention, approaching Wang Chenyu who was looking at him, unconsciously but subconsciously, bowed her head gently and said, "What's wrong with you?"

Peng Xiaoman blinked, returned to his original state, and tried his best to look exaggeratedly surprised, "How did I find it by you?"

"Look for the legs, or follow him for thousands of miles?" Li Yuan glanced at him, Wang Chenyu who was staring at him from behind, and Xia Jianjun who was looking at him in front of him, and opened his mouth: "Old class is waiting for the assembly, but I didn't see you. What do you want when you go back?" Obsolete."

Xia Jianjun immediately understood, "Oh, you are Peng Xiaoman's current classmate, right? I am his former class teacher."

Li Yuan looked at him and nodded, "Hi, teacher."

"Hey, you're good too!" Xia Jianjun waved his hands, "Why, you all came to watch the competition as volunteers?"

Li Yuan shook her head, pointed to the listing on her chest, "I am the competition."

"Hey, your school's robotics club has entered the finals in South China?" Xia Jianjun narrowed his eyes, "Not bad, then your school's club seems to be pretty good, right?"

"Generally speaking, they are all amateur games, and your school may not pay much attention to these things."

Peng Xiaoman immediately turned his head and winked at him, which means, hey, it's too obvious that you carry a gun with a stick, bro!Xia Jianjun was really taken aback, his face froze quickly, and he quickly returned to normal, saying: "Yes, our school is stricter in studying, which is different from ordinary middle schools."

Li Yuan leaned against the fence and smiled, "I heard that there is a documentary, Yungu Fourth People's Prison."

Wang Chenyu heard the refutation, "That's a nickname given by the media."

"I didn't say I started it either." Li Yuan replied kindly.

"Maybe it's what you said. Our school has a bad reputation from the outside world. What kind of prison, what factory, what kind of origin." Xia Jianjun pushed the frame mirror on the bridge of his nose, and continued with a smile: "But do you admit it? We are half The management model of militarization and performance quantification has achieved extraordinary results. Not only have we had a high enrollment rate, but we have also fed back the local economy, and we can indeed give students, parents, and the Ministry of Education the desired results within three years."

"Including your plundering of excellent students across regions?" Li Yuan asked.

"That is inevitable for the development of the school."

"Even if it is said to destroy nature and stifle creativity?"

"The two side issues of the coin are not within the scope of our management model. They are considered to be devoid of nature and stifle creativity, but those who can really keep up with the rhythm will definitely think that we are a set of scientifically rigorous and effective. Educational methods." Xia Jianjun compared the students behind him, then looked at Peng Xiaoman as if there was nothing, and said with a smile: "Survival of the fittest, sometimes the weak are eliminated, it is really not our problem, basically it is Own."

Peng Xiaoman looked at his toes, he didn't defend himself, he didn't dodge his cold arrow.Li Yuan was silent for a moment, and was patted on the back of his waist.

Li Yuan said: "Teacher, I don't deny your first sentence, but I want to ask the last sentence, will the one who is not eliminated be the winner?"

"Why not?" Xia Jianjun asked back, "Otherwise, what is the purpose of your study? It is to enter the university, and it is to jump on a good platform."

"Can I say you are narrow-minded?"

"Huh?" Xia Jianjun was taken aback, thinking he had misheard.

"If I really want to talk about this, I think it is to gain a competitive advantage and improve the level of cognition. When we are still struggling with the enrollment rate and heavy quota, many other famous schools no longer spend time on homework and exams. The development of quality, or not taking the college entrance examination at all.” Li Yuan glanced at the palm, and put it mildly, “The cost is very high so not everyone can achieve it, but I mean what you don’t give, other places can It was given, and it turned out better.”

Asked Peng Xiaoman if he wanted a heart transplant, the female classmate who lived in the Korean drama didn’t agree with this, she sneered unabashedly, and asked: “Then what do you mean, your school is very good?”

"I didn't say it, you should understand it yourself, okay, you should have your own set of standards, right?"

Xia Jianjun rubbed his chin, "Then what's the point, can you not give way to learning, something more important than taking exams, what your school has, what our school doesn't have?"

"Choice and dignity." Li Yuan looked at Xia Jianjun, "Of course I don't know if this is important to you, people are different."

No one spoke, the fight was a draw, and there was no way to say right or wrong.

After a while, Peng Xiaoman said goodbye to Xia Jianjun and Wang Chenyu, lowered his head slightly, and bowed respectfully, "We will gather later, then we will go back first... Teacher Xia."

"Hey, okay, you're busy and we won't waste your time by chatting." Xia Jianjun pulled away from his thoughts, stood up straight and approached, and patted Peng Xiaoman on the shoulder, "You see, you will be a senior in high school in a blink of an eye, keep going, you It’s not bad, after all, it’s about paying attention to your body, it’s the capital of the revolution.” Then he looked at Li Yuan, “As a teacher, I’m not talking decently today, young man, don’t mind.”

"No." Li Yuan shook her head, "I also said extreme."

"But I still can't admit that we have a problem."

"kindness."

"Come on for the college entrance examination, I wish you success six months in advance."

"Thank you, teacher, and I wish you a new high in your capital repayment rate this year."

Peng Xiaoman was in front, and Li Yuan was in the back, thinking about what he said just now.According to his original personality, he would not express so many thoughts to a stranger, it was unnecessary and impolite.He was aggressive just now, Li Yuan admitted to himself, but he was neither provocative nor provocative, but he just couldn't tolerate it, and he couldn't tolerate others treating Peng Xiaoman as a weak person who was screened out without authorization.I feel wronged for him, I can't understand his subservience, I don't understand why he acquiesced when he was said that because of his character.

Seeing that Peng Xiaoman let out a sigh of relief suddenly, Li Yuan glanced back, accidentally caught a glimpse of Wang Chenyu who had been standing behind him sitting back in the viewing booth, pointed to the direction behind him, and made a slightly exaggerated gesture to everyone. The movement of chest heaving and breathing, and then the shoulders trembled, and everyone laughed together.

Li Yuan knew what that meant, and instantly guessed what he was imitating, what he was implying.

He didn't make a sound, but he was really disgusted by it.

"...In fact, they have a heavy sense of mission and burden, and a strong sense of pride." Peng Xiaoman wanted to turn around and talk while walking, "Actually, it's because——"

Li Yuan put his hand on his left cheek, gently pushed his face back, and straightened his eyes to the front, preventing him from looking behind.Li Yuan approached him and said on top of him, "They have their glory, and you should also walk forward with pride."
