Chapter 1625: Telling Tales, Chatting on the Playground
Zhu Chao was already in a difficult position, and now he was ridiculed by Li Si. If he returned to his seat in disgrace, what dignity would he have as the class monitor?
So he said angrily: "I am the class monitor. When the teacher is not here, I should be responsible for the order in the class. If you do not abide by the discipline, I have the responsibility to remind you and correct you."
"Tsk tsk, class monitor, Zhu Chao, you are too long-handed as a class monitor. Zhou Chen did not disturb others. Why do you care so much? Are you showing off your status as a class monitor?"
Li Si was a scoundrel. How could he take the class monitor seriously? What's more, Zhou Chen was his good brother. Although they usually quarreled, he was unhappy when he saw Zhu Chao making trouble for Zhou Chen, so he wanted to confront Zhu Chao.
Zhu Chao was so angry that his fat face turned red. First Zhou Chen, then Li Si, these two people really didn't give him any face. He was so angry that he knocked on Zhou Chen's desk again.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"Zhou Chen, if you sleep again, I will tell Teacher Gao."
Zhou Chen slowly raised his head, looked at Zhu Chao calmly, and said coldly: "If you knock on my desk again, believe it or not, I will break your hand."
"You."
Zhu Chao's tone stagnated, and he wanted to get angry, but for some reason, looking at Zhou Chen's eyes, he was actually a little scared. After all, he was just a teenager. Being glared at by Zhou Chen, the courage in his heart collapsed instantly.
But in front of the whole class, he couldn't stand such humiliation, so he shouted angrily: "I'm going to find Teacher Gao now."
After that, he walked out of the class quickly with grievance and anger. As soon as he left the classroom, there were bursts of contemptuous shouts in the classroom, despising Zhu Chao's cowardice and behavior.
Now even kindergarten children know not to go to the teacher to tell tales casually. They are all in the second year of high school, and they actually said to tell tales in front of them. How could they not be despised?
In fact, everyone really couldn't understand Zhu Chao's behavior of looking for trouble with Zhou Chen.
After so long in school, the classmates in the class still had a very good impression of Zhou Chen, because Zhou Chen never looked down on others because of his good grades. Instead, he was very helpful. When someone asked for help with a question they didn't know, Zhou Chen would explain it enthusiastically and never get impatient.
So although everyone may have known Zhu Chao for a longer time, for now, if Zhou Chen ran for class monitor, Zhu Chao might not be able to be the class monitor.
As for Zhou Chen's sleeping during self-study class, is it a big deal?
He didn't even listen to the class seriously, and he just wanted to be in a daze, and the teacher didn't care. As a result, he slept during self-study class, and you, as a class monitor, still meddled in other people's business, which gave people the feeling that you were really looking for trouble.
In short, in everyone's opinion, Zhu Chao was cowardly and embarrassing.
Li Si gave Zhou Chen a thumbs up: "Zhou Chen, you are awesome. I've been annoyed with him for a long time. He is just a monitor, but he always takes chicken feathers as his command."
Many people feel the same way. Zhu Chao, the monitor, is good at handling the chores in the class, but sometimes he takes himself too seriously, and many people dislike him.
Zhou Chen didn't take it seriously. It's not a big deal to confront a teenager. He has never been tempered in a place like school. The main reason is that Zhu Chao is really too nosy. This is not the first time he has slept in class. After becoming the monitor, Zhu Chao wanted to take him out, but he picked the wrong target.
Three minutes later, Zhu Chao returned to the classroom in a rage and came to Zhou Chen again.
"Zhou Chen, Teacher Gao asked you to go to the office."
Looking at Zhu Chao's smug expression, Zhou Chen was really speechless. This guy is really petty for such a small matter.
Li Si mocked loudly: "Zhu Chao, you are so old, but you still tell tales to the teacher. Isn't it embarrassing?"
But Zhu Chao seemed not to hear him, and went straight back to his seat, and then turned back to Li Si and said: "Li Si, stop talking, disturbing everyone's self-study."
"You are sick."
Li Si looked disdainful, and ignored him at all, and asked Zhou Chen: "Aren't you going?"
"Go."
Zhou Chen stood up slowly, and then walked out of the classroom. As soon as he left, the classroom was filled with discussions again.
"Don't make noise, we are studying."
Zhu Chao stood up and shouted loudly.
This time, the classmates who thought it was embarrassing for him to tell tales looked down on him even more. Now he was arrogant, why didn't he act arrogant in front of Zhou Chen just now?
Zhou Chen left the classroom, but did not go to the office immediately, but went to the toilet halfway, and then went to the office.
When he arrived at the office, Zhou Chen knocked on the door, then walked in and stood next to Gao Feiyang's desk.
At this time, in addition to Gao Feiyang, there were two other teachers in the office, one was Han Shu sitting opposite, and the other was the history teacher.
Seeing Zhou Chen walking over with an expressionless face, Gao Feiyang was actually a little headache.
To be honest, he really didn't want to care about Zhou Chen, because he had known Zhou Chen's situation for a long time. He couldn't concentrate in ten classes, but his grades were good. He could answer any questions you asked. Every time, he could only say a few words to concentrate on the class, but it was useless.
So after such a long time since the start of school, he no longer paid attention to Zhou Chen's situation in the classroom, and just waited for the midterm exam in a while. If Zhou Chen did well in the exam, he really didn't care. If Zhou Chen didn't do well in the exam, he would have to be more intensive and correct Zhou Chen's learning attitude.
This was his plan, but he didn't expect that Zhu Chao, the class monitor, would complain to him. Although he didn't like students who made such small reports, Zhu Chao's behavior was not wrong, so he could only complain to him. Zhou Chen called over.
Han Shu, who was correcting her homework, did not change her homework anymore. She raised her head and looked at Zhou Chen.
As an English teacher in Class 1, Grade 2, she certainly knew about Zhou Chen's situation. She only felt something was wrong when Zhou Chen paid attention to any class.
When it comes to which student she pays the most attention to, it is undoubtedly Zhou Chen. Even the students in Grade 1 and Grade 1 she leads, she does not pay as much attention to them as she does to Zhou Chen.
She didn't know why this happened, but she just couldn't help it. She had to look at Zhou Chen several times every time in class. She couldn't help but take a look at Zhou Chen even when she passed by Class 1, Grade 2.
"Zhu Chao said you didn't study in self-study class and were sleeping. What do you have to say?" Gao Feiyang pushed up his glasses and asked.
"I'm tired of studying and want to take a rest."
Zhou Chen's answer made Han Shu couldn't help laughing, and even the history teacher next to her was happy.
Gao Feiyang couldn't help but hold his forehead. He was telling lies with his eyes wide open. He had been teaching Class 1 of Grade 2 for so long, and he had never seen Zhou Chen study seriously. He was either in a daze during class, or he was behind him. I write, draw, and often read extracurricular books.
In terms of study attitude and seriousness, only Li Si in the class can compare with Zhou Chen.
But Zhou Chen's grades are so good. Even if he doesn't study, he is still the first in the grade. Even if he studies hard, he can't keep up with Zhou Chen. Don't you think it's irritating?
Gao Feiyang sighed and said with a serious expression: "Zhou Chen, I know you have good grades and good learning talent, but no matter how good your talent is, if you don't work hard, it will still be difficult to succeed. Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you have always had this attitude towards studying, it will definitely not work. Don’t you want to get into Peking University and Tsinghua University?”
Zhou Chen said truthfully: "It doesn't matter, Fudan University and Shanghai Jiao Tong University are not impossible either."
Gao Feiyang was almost choked by Zhou Chen. Although these two universities are not as famous as Beiqing University, they are also the first-class universities in the country. Why did Zhou Chen say that it was as if they were his choice.
Han Shu's eyes brightened a bit when she heard this, "Fudan and Jiaotong University are indeed pretty good."
Gao Feiyang said: "Whether it's Beiqing or Fudan, they are all top universities in the country. If you want to take the exam, you must study hard and have a correct study attitude. If you always have this study attitude, I will do it for you." Worried.”
"Teacher Gao, I don't think you need to worry about me. I have always studied this way. I have already mastered the contents of high school books and memorized them in my mind. I don't need to consolidate them by listening and writing more."
"Have you mastered all the contents in the high school books? That's really not a small tone."
Gao Feiyang didn't believe Zhou Chen's words. He admitted that Zhou Chen's academic performance was very good, but he really disagreed with this attitude towards learning. He felt that no matter how good the results were but had a bad attitude, his learning would decline sooner or later. But it seems With Zhou Chen's attitude, it was obvious that he would not take his words to heart.
Everyone said that Li Si from Class 1, Grade 2, was a thorn in his side, but he felt that Zhou Chen was even more thorny than Li Si because Zhou Chen was not afraid of their teacher at all.
"Okay, whatever you say makes sense. I won't tell you that much anymore. Just wait for the midterm exam. If you don't do well, don't blame me for asking your parents."
But Zhou Chen just smiled and didn't take it to heart. For other students, calling their parents was a big deal, but he really wasn't worried at all.
Seeing Zhou Chen's attitude, Gao Feiyang knew that what he said was in vain. This kid was obviously only seventeen years old, but he felt like an old man. He came to school not to study, but to goof around. But He is such a bastard, but his grades are the first in his grade, which makes him unable to start.
"Go back and don't go against Zhu Chao next time. If everyone is like you and goes against the squad leader, can he still be the squad leader?"
"If you can't do it anymore, replace it with someone else."
"Replace you?"
"That's no need. I don't have that much time and energy. I think Cheng Miaomiao is pretty good."
Gao Feiyang waved his hand impatiently: "Go, go, go back to the classroom quickly. If you don't want to go back, just go to the playground and run two laps for me."
"Then I'll go to the playground and run two laps."
Zhou Chen really agreed, left the office, and headed towards the playground.
"This boy."
Gao Feiyang looked helpless: "I have several years of teaching experience. I have encountered all kinds of students, but I have never encountered anyone like him."
The history teacher said with a smile: "I have taught students for more than 20 years, and I have never met a student as smart as him. Even if there is no exam, you can see this from his homework after class. He is now But for the school’s treasure, as long as nothing happens, it won’t be difficult for him to go to a key university. If he performs normally, it will be no problem for him to go to Beiqing.”
Han Shu asked unexpectedly: "Does Teacher Gu think so highly of him?"
Teacher Gu said: "There are many types of smart students, but Zhou Chen is so smart, but that's different. No matter how smart a student is, he will always be a little partial to subjects, but look at him, has he ever been partial to subjects? Being the best in every subject is no longer as simple as being smart. His attitude towards learning may appear unruly and arrogant to others, but to him, it is self-confidence. This kid is much more mature than other students. "More."
"Is he really that powerful?"
Although Han Shu has paid special attention to Zhou Chen, she has few opportunities to get to know him, so she doesn't really know him very well.
Teacher Gu took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "If you don't believe me, just look at the results of the midterm exam. I can guarantee that he won't do worse than the final exam last semester."
Although Gao Feiyang also thinks Zhou Chen is very smart, he also thinks that Zhou Chen's attitude towards learning is not correct. In the long run, he doesn't think Zhou Chen can keep such good grades.
Zhou Chen staggered down the stairs, and just as he walked out of the teaching building, he saw Xiao Fang coming towards him.
"Hey, Zhou Chen, where are you going?"
"I'm tired of studying, so Teacher Gao asked me to run two laps in the playground."
"Ah?"
Xiao Fang was obviously confused for a moment, but she didn't stop Zhou Chen. She just ordered: "Okay, then you should go back to the classroom quickly and don't wander around outside."
"Got it."
Watching Zhou Chen leave, Xiao Fang shook her head: "This kid."
Zhou Chen walked around the playground. There was only one class in the entire playground taking physical education classes. He found a place to lie down and squinted his eyes. It was indeed more comfortable to lie down than to sleep on his stomach.
If possible, he really didn't want to come to class every day. It was too boring, but who made him a student now? He didn't want to worry his uncle and aunt, so he could only go to school every day step by step. The greatest pleasure of going to school is that he can eat melons online.
In a daze, a shadow suddenly enveloped him. Zhou Chen slowly opened his eyes and saw Han Shu standing next to him, looking down at her.
"Teacher Han, why are you here?"
"I didn't go home for a class, I came to see what you are doing?"
Zhou Chen patted the grass next to him, "Do you want to lie down and rest, Teacher Han?"
Han Shu glared at Zhou Chen unhappily, but did not lie down, but sat down next to Zhou Chen.
"You don't look like a student at all."
"Are you still angry that I didn't tell you that I was a student of No. 2 Middle School?"
It would have been better if she didn't say it. Once she said it, Han Shu remembered what happened that day again and showed dissatisfaction.
"Why didn't you say it at that time?"
"You didn't ask, and if I had said it at that time, you were a teacher and I was a student, we wouldn't be able to communicate on an equal footing, right?"
Han Shu was silent. Indeed, if she knew that Zhou Chen was a sophomore of No. 2 Middle School that day, her attitude towards Zhou Chen would definitely not be like that.
After a moment of silence, she asked again: "Just now in the office, you said you wanted to apply to a university in Shanghai, is that true?"
Zhou Chen put his hands behind his head and said: "If I have to choose between Beijing and Shanghai, I will choose a university in Shanghai."
"Why? Peking University and Tsinghua University are the two best universities in China. If you can keep up your grades, you have a great chance of getting in. Why don't you apply to these two universities?"
Han Shu looked puzzled. Peking University and Tsinghua University are recognized as the best universities in China and are also the dream universities of countless students. If there is a chance, they will probably want to apply to these two universities.
Zhou Chen smiled and said, "Because I don't know anyone in Beijing."
"Do you know anyone in Shanghai?"
"Of course, Mr. Han, aren't you from Shanghai? I know that you are only temporarily here to coach at Linqi Oilfield, and you will go back sooner or later. When I go to Shanghai to attend university, I can still find you if I encounter any problems."
Han Shu's words moved Han Shu's heart: "Is it because of this?"
"Yes, I am very confident in myself, and it doesn't matter which university I go to. In this case, why not choose a city where I have acquaintances."
In fact, Zhou Chen did have this mentality. If there was a city with acquaintances and a city without acquaintances, he would definitely choose the city with acquaintances, even if this acquaintance might not be seen often, but there would always be that feeling.
Han Shu smiled and said softly: "You are right, I will not stay here forever, I will go back in the future. If you are admitted to a university in Shanghai in the future, I welcome you to come and play with me."
"Then it is settled. By that time, you will not be my teacher."
"Have you not heard that a teacher is a father for life? I am your English teacher, even if you graduate in the future, I will still be your teacher."
"Tsk tsk, Teacher Han, are you still going to be my father?"
"Puff!"
Han Shu laughed sweetly. She felt that talking to Zhou Chen was not like the communication between teacher and student at all. It was just like the first time they met, very relaxed and interesting.
"I heard that you received a love letter a few days ago?"
Zhou Chen sat up from the ground and asked in surprise: "You know it too? Is your teacher so gossipy?"
Han Shu looked at Zhou Chen and said: "Who can you hide from handing over a love letter in public? Also, why can't teachers gossip? Many teachers know about this, but because you returned the love letter, the senior brother and Director Xiao didn't look for you and just pretended that nothing happened."
Zhou Chen can understand this. After all, it's in school. If the teacher wants to know about this kind of thing, it's actually very easy to know. It just depends on whether the teacher shows it.
Just like in class, the teacher is teaching on the top, and you are reading novels, extracurricular books, and playing with your mobile phone below. Do you really think the teacher can't find out?
In fact, standing on the podium, the field of vision is very wide, and most of the students' small actions can't be hidden from the teacher.
"It doesn't matter. I didn't plan to fall in love early."
Han Shu looked at Zhou Chen's profile and had to say that Zhou Chen was really an excellent boy. Even her, a teacher, had a good impression of him after the first contact. Those inexperienced high school girls had no resistance to a boy like Zhou Chen who was tall, handsome, extraordinary, and had good grades. It was normal for him to be popular with girls.
