The bell rang for the end of get out of class, and Ma Pingping collected her papers and left.
Although she didn't look very happy, Lin Zhaoxi thought that there was nothing she could do about it. She would only be even more unhappy when they got their grades.
Lin Zhaoxi sat back in her original seat and pushed her deskmate, trying to wake her up.
Pei Zhi was already packing his schoolbags, it was time for school to leave, and the only remaining students in the class were also packing up by themselves, preparing to leave.
Lin Zhaoxi yelled for a while before the boy at the same table was pushed awake. He rubbed his eyes and picked up his schoolbag automatically to leave.
Seeing the back of the boy leaving gracefully, Lin Zhaoxi asked, "Do you still want to play games?"
The boy stopped in his tracks, barely opened his eyes, and looked back at her impatiently.
Lin Zhaoxi always thought that she got along well with this "sleeping god" classmate because they never disturbed each other. Now that she called him to stop so suddenly, she seemed to be meddling in her own business.
Lin Zhaoxi hurriedly explained: "I want to go to an Internet cafe, can you take me there?"
—
"where are we going"
On the way back from school, Hanamaki picked out her ears and asked incredulously.
"Internet cafe." Lin Zhaoxi broke open Wangwang's crushed ice and gave him half of it.
"Junior high school students can't go to Internet cafes." Hanamaki glanced at the lavender grape-flavored popsicles and shook her head, "Too much pigment."
Lin Zhaoxi turned directly in mid-air, and respectfully handed the cold drink to Pei Zhi: "Brother Pei, please."
Pei Zhi didn't dislike it, and ate as soon as he took it, Lin Zhaoxi was very pleased.
"You can't go to ordinary Internet cafes, but we have "Brother Sleeping God" leading us." Lin Zhaoxi pointed to the tablemate who was leading the way.
The boy is tall and thin, straddling his schoolbag diagonally, ignoring others, and walking on his own.
"You just finished the exam, don't you want to study again?" Old Comrade Lu pulled her over, looked at the back leading the way, and worriedly advised, "Don't play games with classmates who can't learn well, you will get addicted."
"I want to study in an Internet cafe."
"ah?"
"The 21st century is the era of information technology. If you don't know how to play games... No, how can you learn if you don't know how to use the Internet?"

The milk cat Internet cafe is a short distance from their junior high school, but it is very close to Zhuanzhu Lane.
The Internet cafe is not big, only two rooms, dimly lit and smoky, with dozens of computers. Walking in, a smell of braised beef noodles hits the face.
With Sleeping God at the same table leading the way, the owner of the Internet cafe didn't want to check their ID cards, but directly opened 5 machines for them.
Lin Zhaoxi took a deep look at the owner of the Internet cafe, and walked through the machine array with Sleepy God to the corner of the Internet cafe.
The five of them sat down in front of a row of machines one by one.
Hanamaki hated the environment here, Lu Zhihao resolutely refused to touch the computer, took out his homework and started to do it. And Pei Zhi, as always, was as good as he used to be, and started to browse the web with one hand on his chest, with a simple and handsome profile. But it's always kind of rude to look at other people's screens...
Lin Zhaoxi turned around, clicked on the "e" icon of the desktop browser, and entered a few keywords.
The speed of page expansion in this era cannot be compared with later ones, but it is enough.
She began to filter the search terms, clicked on some entries about advanced mathematics learning methods, and continued her unfinished postgraduate entrance examination preparation work before coming to Cheese World.
Although there is so much more time, she can't guarantee when she will go back suddenly. Therefore, while re-learning junior and high school mathematics to lay a solid foundation, she believes that her preparations for the postgraduate entrance examination cannot be relaxed.
But if she went to Lao Lin now and said that she wanted to learn advanced mathematics, it seemed too ambitious for a junior high school student, so she decided to use the Internet to study for a while, and then go to Lao Lin when the time is right.
Just thinking like this, while browsing the web, at a certain moment, Lin Zhaoxi looked at the cashier of the Internet cafe again.
"Let's go, why are you on the Internet at such a young age?" The owner of the Internet cafe waved at the two elementary school students in front of the cashier.
"We have money."
"It doesn't matter if you have money. Go back and study hard. Looking at the computer at a young age will damage your eyes."
The boss was righteous and strict, and the elementary school students started arguing with him on twitter.
Lin Zhaoxi couldn't help but look at the students in a row, always feeling that the boss's age standard seemed a little strange...
But looking at the boss's current appearance, she couldn't help falling into memories.
In fact, she has always been very impressed with the milk cat Internet cafe, but not because she used to come here to surf the Internet when she was in junior high school, but because in her memory, it will be destroyed by a fire on New Year's Day next year.
The fire happened on New Year's Eve. At that time, she and Lao Lin were out for a walk, and the siren of the fire truck sounded in the distance. Lao Lin and her walked here following the noise, and the fire had been extinguished. The fire was not serious. Not only did the two shops next door have no impact, no one was even injured, but all the machines in the Internet cafe were scrapped, and the inside was a mess.
She didn't remember a lot of things, but she remembered very clearly that night when the owner of the Internet cafe, who always seemed very kind, squatted in front of the shop and cried loudly.
The weather was already very cold, and the water vapor that the middle-aged man exhaled when he cried dispersed in the night sky. His daughter patted his father on the back and comforted him, saying "It's good that you are fine", "You can buy more when things are gone"...
And she still remembered that at the scene of the fire that night, the arsonist was caught directly. It was a few elementary school students. When the police educated them, they stiffened their necks and refused to admit their mistakes.
After a long time, Lin Zhaoxi has long forgotten the faces of those elementary school students, so she is not sure if it is the two who are arguing with the boss now.
Moreover, the arson time was on January 1, and there are still more than three months from now. If it is true for the two children now, it seems that they don't need to wait so long before taking revenge.
Unable to compete with the stubborn owner of the Internet cafe, the two primary school students walked away in desperation.
The owner of the Internet cafe sat down again and continued to greet other guests kindly, but he was so sad when the place was burned down by the fire.
"When there is a chance, I should remind him," Lin Zhaoxi secretly made a decision.
Thinking of this, she suddenly felt a strange sight staring at her.
She turned her head nervously, but saw Brother Sleeping God sitting on the chair, staring blankly at her screen, a little dazed.
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhaoxi asked.
"Are you really here to study?"
This may be the first full conversation they have had as tablemates.
"Yes." Lin Zhaoxi smiled, "Online learning is efficient and convenient. If you want to work in the game industry in the future, you must be able to program. Do you want to learn online first?"
Hearing this, Brother Sleeping God looked at her with the eyes of a mental patient, shook his head in disgust, turned his head away and continued playing games, ignoring her.
Lu Zhihao had just finished a book of homework and happened to be free, so he also turned his head to look at her screen.
"You really came to study!" Old Comrade Lu asked again.
"That's right, do you want to teach you to look up materials related to the Junior High School Math League?" Lin Zhaoxi laughed at Lu Zhihao, feeling like an old witch who bewitched teenagers.
"It's not that I can't type!" Lu Zhihao said firmly.
"Okay, okay." Lin Zhaoxi nodded with a smile, not trying to refute the little boy's face. But among the few of them, Lu Zhihao was deeply influenced by her mother, and he regarded computers as a scourge, and he never messed around in computer classes except for things arranged by the teacher, so his computer skills... very... limited...
In order to save his breath, Lu Zhihao bent down to turn on the phone, then clicked on the browser, and began to tap the keyboard with two index fingers. He slowly typed a line of questions into the search bar, but the result was not satisfactory.
Lin Zhaoxi tilted her head and realized that what he was searching for was a multiple-choice question for their selection exam for today's number joint exam.
"I chose c." Lin Zhaoxi said.
Lu Zhihao's eyes widened: "I chose d."
After finishing speaking, they looked at Pei Zhi at the same time: "Don't say it first."
"You try to erase the specific numbers and conjunctions, and only search for a few keywords?" Lin Zhaoxi instructed Lu Zhihao.
Lu Zhihao complied, and a series of similar questions appeared on the webpage.
He clicked on one, and restarted the calculation according to the problem-solving ideas presented on the webpage.
At a certain point, Comrade Lu suddenly hugged his head and howled: "I made a mistake, and there is another situation that I didn't consider!!!"
A circle of unscrupulous teenagers in the Internet cafe glanced at him viciously.
Lin Zhaoxi hurriedly held down Lu Zhihao, stroked his head to comfort him: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a multiple-choice question."
"I'm worse than you in one multiple-choice question!"
"What do you mean by 'better than you'..."
"It's just... I got all the multiple choice questions wrong, what if the school doesn't even pass the line?"
"If you're so worried, why don't you check the answer with Brother Pei?"
Classmate Pei Zhi's indifferent eyes swept over him, he and Lu Zhihao looked at each other, and then they both said in unison: "Let's forget it."
"Anyway, the grades will come out tomorrow, and I will regret it all night when I know I made a mistake." Pei Zhi looked at her and added, "You too."
Lin Zhaoxi just wanted to say that I am not like this, but thinking of when she was a child, she would indeed drag Pei Zhi and chatter in frustration...
Hearing Pei Zhi's words, Hanamaki, who was chatting with QQ, also took the time to cast a glance: "Choose c? Then I was wrong too. If I knew it, I wouldn't have done it myself. I believe in my intuition and I can still choose the right one."
Lin Zhaoxi: "..."
Hanajuan still found it unbelievable, and continued to confirm with Pei Zhi: "This question is very difficult, is she really doing it right?"
Pei Zhi nodded.
"It's not bad. I just waited downstairs with Lao Lu for you to finish the exam. He also said that Brother Xi and Brother Pei didn't hand in the papers in advance, and they are not as good as before."
Lu Zhihao blushed: "That's not what I meant!
Lin Zhaoxi was very honest: "Because I haven't learned much in the past three years, so I am doing very slowly. I hope to be more solid and improve the accuracy rate."
Hanamaki smacked her lips, looked back at the QQ chat, and said slowly after a while, "Are you mocking Lao Lu?"
Lin Zhaoxi: "..."
Speaking of this, the QQ notification tone of Hanamaki's computer rang crazily.
After he opened it, his expression changed. He knocked on the keyboard for a while, and immediately closed the dialog box when he was done, and even logged out of QQ, with a look of panic that still lingers in his heart.
"What's wrong?" Lu Zhihao asked.
"The sluts from Yongchuan Middle School asked us if we have time tomorrow?" Hanamaki had lingering fear on his face.
"No!!!" Lu Zhihao hurriedly said.
"I have already returned to them, we will make up classes at school tomorrow, there is no time!!"
