I have to admit that although Dou Sheng himself is a bit annoying, he is very likable as an up-host.
Xie Lan accidentally watched Dou Sheng's videos all night.
The next day, when Xie Lan floated into the classroom and sat in his seat, he felt as if there was a fairy aura above his head.
Dou Sheng threw him a bottle of cocoa he brought from home, but he ruthlessly pushed it away.
Dou Sheng paused, "Are you still angry?"
"No, I don't want to drink this." Xie Lan lowered his head to take out the textbook with sleepy eyes, "What I need is coffee."
Dou Sheng said "oh", glanced at the back door, lowered his head and pressed his phone, muttering: "What time do you go to bed? You're so sleepy."
I haven't slept yet and watched more than 20 of your videos. I'm addicted.
Xie Lan held up his head and yawned in despair.
After a while, Dai You in front turned around and passed a bottle of coffee to the tables behind.
Xie Lan mouthed "thank you", unscrewed the candy bar, took a bite, and paused.
Dou Sheng stared at him, "What do you mean? Are you still not satisfied?"
"Yeah." Xie Lan put it down silently, "I don't like sweet coffee."
"Problem." Dou Sheng was speechless, "Please keep an eye on the back door for me. I'll order some takeout."
There are people coming and going at the back door. Morning classes haven't started yet, which is the time when Hu Xiujie likes to hang out and check cell phones.
Xie Lan stared for a while, and then saw Yu Fei slowly passing by, his steps were more passive than usual, with a look of "what am I supposed to be?" written on his face. He walked into the front door, grabbed the car with one hand, and squeezed into the seat.
"What's wrong with Herring?" Che Ming touched his nose, "You're twice as irritable today."
"How dare you ask?" Yu Fei's voice was hoarse. "Yesterday, you said you would accompany me to pick up the four cats after school, but they all ran away. Damn it."
Xie Lan shuddered, "I forgot..."
I was so busy being angry with Dou Sheng last night that I forgot about those bastards.
Dou Sheng was also stunned for a moment, and sighed, "Sorry, sorry, how did you solve it in the end?"
"The hospital has no more beds, so I took the cats to several homes before I could settle them down." Herring leaned against the wall with a gloomy face. "Bean, please post on Weibo and find homes for the four cats. It's not good to let them continue to wander after their eggs have been removed."
Dou Sheng hummed, "Okay, after school Xie Lan and I will take them back and take some prostitution photos."
Dou Sheng ran out to get coffee before class. Xie Lan drank the coffee and managed to cheer himself up. He listened attentively to the two Chinese classes, one biology class and one chemistry class in the morning. He felt that his head was about to be filled with new Chinese characters and Chinese.
Finally, I made it to the last math class before lunch, and Lao Ma brought me a piece of news.
"Citywide Mathematics Placement Test."
Lao Ma asked the class representative Che Ming to distribute the printed test information. "The top math students from key high schools are competing fiercely. The top 30 will directly enter the provincial training camp to prepare for the October competition."
There was a lot of discussion going on below. Xie Lan looked at the event information on a thin piece of paper. There were many words he didn't recognize. Dou Sheng reached out a pen and quickly circled a few key points for him.
Half a month after the competition, the qualification will be the top 50 mathematics students from five key high schools.
The exam lasts four hours and is divided into three parts: high school foundation, competition standard, and competition advanced. The total score is 360. Just looking at it makes me feel brain dead.
Standing on the stage, Lao Ma said, "This year's provincial training camp has a very good lineup of teachers, including two provincial competition coaches, me, and the math group leaders of No. 3 Middle School and the Affiliated Middle School. I hope that our entire class will participate in the competition, and come to my math competition training on weekends in the next two weeks."
Xie Lan raised his hand with some difficulty.
Lao Ma looked at him and said, "Don't tell me you refuse this too."
"No, I'm participating in the competition." Xie Lan wanted to try it out, and after a moment's thought, he said, "But I don't want to take math training on the weekends. I... still have to take Chinese basics."
The classroom was silent for a few seconds, and then a burst of laughter broke out amid Lao Ma's distorted expression.
The old man's facial nerves seemed to be damaged. His face twitched for a long time before he managed to force a smile, "OK."
Amidst the laughter, he sighed, "After more than 20 years of teaching, this is the first time that mathematics has taken a backseat to Chinese. Whatever."
"I'm sorry, teacher." Xie Lan apologized sincerely, "I'll take your class when I get 90 points in Chinese."
Che Ziming was so happy that his back arched, "I hope Lao Ma can still see that day."
Xie Lan could sense from the atmosphere in the class how seriously the owls took this exam.
During the evening study session, many people changed their competition question sets, and even Dou Sheng took out a test paper to do.
"How important is this?" Xie Lan couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "What are the benefits of entering the provincial training camp?"
Dou Sheng looked up from the test paper. "The two things that can help with the college entrance examination are the national competition in October and the independent enrollment in March next year. In previous years, about one-third of those who participated in the provincial training camp were able to get extra points for the college entrance examination in the competition. Even if they don't, it will still be beneficial for independent enrollment."
"I think you can think about it carefully." Dou Sheng thought for a while and said, "The top few candidates in the national first-class competition can get 20 extra points in the college entrance examination. And with this certificate, you can also get the capital for independent enrollment. If you can get the score lowered to the key university entrance examination score, it is not impossible for you to get a purple admission letter with your Chinese language skills."
Xie Lan understood most of what he heard and was a little excited. "Then, are there any papers from previous years for the city exams?"
Dou Sheng lowered his head and rummaged in his schoolbag for a long time, and took out a ball of waste paper. "You didn't throw it away, God help you."
Xie Lan: “?”
Dou Sheng carefully unfolded the ball of paper, flattened it, and pressed it in front of him.
It’s the paper itself.
Xie Lan was drunk.
He just finished the test paper in two evening self-study sessions, and when the school bell rang, Xie Lan still had one last volume to calculate.
"Let's go." Yu Fei urged, "Hurry up and pick up the cat."
Dou Sheng held him down, "Studying is more important, let him finish writing."
Yu Fei rolled his eyes on the spot, and Che Mingyue said, "Can you pay off your overdue homework debts first before you fart?"
Xie Lan wrote down the last number while muttering, "Is there such a vulgar expression in Chinese?"
"Did you hear that?" Dou Sheng raised his hand and slapped Che Ziming on the shoulder, "Don't embarrass the Chinese language!"
The four kittens whose balls were cut off are very lively.
Kittens that roam the wild are usually more vigilant than those raised at home, but these kittens are an exception. After having good food and a good night's sleep, they simply fell in love with the hospital. When Dou Sheng packed them up, he was actually met with a soft rejection.
Four cats in one bag, Xie Lan couldn't help but ask, "Do you want to take them home? Will Aunt Zhao accept it?"
"She's on a business trip again." Dou Sheng held the cat bag in front of him, "I'll post on Weibo to announce the cat when I get back. By the time she gets back, the cat will have been sent away."
Xie Lan said "oh" and bent down to look at the mesh on the side of the cat bag, and looked into the eight round eyes inside.
“Meow—”
“Meow—”
"It seems to be hungry." Xie Lan asked, "Do you have food for cats at home?"
Dou Sheng nodded, "That's called cat food. We've been preparing it since we met Mimi."
He brought the cat home and carried it directly into Dou Sheng's room, placing it on the open space where he recorded videos daily.
As soon as the package was opened, four little cuties poked their heads out, full of curiosity.
When recording at night, you have to turn up the lights enough, but you can't scare the cats. Dou Sheng adjusted the lights for a long time, and Xie Lan sat on the floor poking this cat and that cat.
"I'll just record a short video with my phone and post it on Weibo, but I have to hold it handheld to show it from all angles." Dou Sheng said as he turned the dial, "You'll hold the cat up for the camera later."
"Me?" Xie Lan was stunned. "I won't be in the picture."
"You don't need to include your face in the photo. I'm only taking photos of cats. You can only include your hands in the photo." Dou Sheng said, grabbing a little orange cat by the scruff of its neck. "Here, that's it."
Xiaoju made a "chi-" sound.
"Okay." Xie Lan had no choice but to do as he was told. "Hurry up."
The furry little creatures were struggling and kicking their legs in the air. Dou Sheng bent over, holding the phone in one hand and pulling the light box with the other to adjust the angle. His hands were steady and his movements were fast. He took one picture a minute and finished quickly.
"Let me see." Xie Lan was a little curious.
Dou Sheng held out the screen to him, "Just show the face, fur color, and body shape."
There are three orange cats and one orange and white cat among the four cats. They all look similar, but their expressions are a little different. The orange cats are more lively, while the orange and white cat is a little dull. Dou Sheng captured all of this in the photos.
"I like this one." Dou Sheng touched the orange and white cat and said with a smile, "There's a piece of cream on the butt, it's so cute, if Ms. Zhao Wenying wasn't afraid of cats I would keep it."
"Posted it?" Xie Lan casually opened the store to download Weibo, "What's your name?"
"It's the same name as Bilibili." Dou Sheng said, "I use this ID on all platforms and I won't change my name or surname."
Xie Lan curled his lips.
Only he could come up with such a shameless name, and he's quite proud of it.
Xie Lan had just opened his Weibo account, and apart from the official assistants who had automatically added him, he only followed Dou Sheng. The video of a cat selling its body that Dou Sheng had posted two minutes ago was pushed to the top of the homepage, and when he refreshed the page, there were already hundreds of replies.
“Your fans are quite active.”
Dou Sheng smiled, "The most naughty group of guys on the Internet."
Xie Lan was concerned about whether the kittens could find their owners, so he clicked on the comments to see.
- cute!
- Ah Wei, come out and die!
- Didi, can I get it overseas? I'm a little tempted
- Whose hand is this in the video
- Cats are so cute 5555 I have nothing
- He's already gone at such a young age, hahahaha
Xie Lan was scrolling through the comments when she suddenly heard Dou Sheng sigh, "Do you think the mother cat will be sad?"
"No way." Xie Lan was stunned for a moment, "I heard that male kittens will be driven away by their mothers to be independent after three or four months."
Dou Sheng sighed and rubbed the cat's head, "That's fine."
As he spoke, Xie Lan refreshed the comments again.
- Everyone is looking at the cat, only I am looking at my hands.
- You're not the only one.
- This hand is not made of beans, but it looks very nice.
- Thin and white. Wait! Is this Douzi's home
- Cousin! Is she a cousin?!
Xie Lan's hand that was swiping the screen suddenly paused. It took her a while to react, and then she leaned closer to the screen in disbelief and looked at the word "cousin".
The hand holding the phone was shaking slightly.
He took a deep breath and refreshed the page again. That post had been pushed to the top of the hot comments list, with several replies in the same post.
- Damn, I totally forgot about my cousin! Is there a follow-up
- It's been more than a week since we picked you up from the airport, right? Let's see!
- Ding ding ding, where are the promised benefits for the million fans, where is the promised appearance of my cousin JK
- Ding ding ding, waiting for my cousin jk online.
- Ding ding ding, sister, j, understand
Dou Sheng paused while stroking the cat's hand and saw this message.
It seemed as if there was suddenly something called death in the air.
After a long time, Xie Lan took deep breaths, deep breaths, and deep breaths again.
"You..." Dou Sheng supported himself with one hand and moved himself away from him. "Don't get excited. Control yourself. I want to tell you something."
"cousin??!!!"
After Xie Lan yelled, he was startled by his own voice, but before he could be stunned, he yelled again, "JK??!!"
Dou Sheng's Adam's apple moved.
"This JK..." he said, "is an abbreviation, which means...healthy in Chinese. Yes, they want you to appear on camera alive, healthy and jumping around to say hi to them."
"Be a human being!" Xie Lan finally exploded, "I'm not good at Chinese, but I've watched anime! And JK is in English!"
