Lin Zhihua actually served Xuejiao with vegetables
Teacher Zheng's eyes looked over, with a little surprise.
Yi Tianyu's eyes widened, staring at the two of them closely.
Being watched by so many people, Xuejiao felt a little embarrassed.
However, she was also a little curious. Lin Zhihua has always been a gentleman, and it used to be a common occurrence. Why are everyone's eyes so strange
Even though everyone was watching, Lin Zhihua remained calm. He stretched out his chopsticks again and put a piece of fish into Teacher Zheng's bowl.
"This is light, you can try it."
His voice was calm and low, and his face was always expressionless.
Lin Zhihua is just serving dishes to the left and right? Nothing else
Suddenly, Yi Tianyu breathed a sigh of relief.
Chu Sheng was still looking at them from the corner of his eyes, slightly curious, and with some gossip in his eyes.
Afterwards, Lin Zhihua kept serving Xuejiao and Teacher Zheng.
Yi Tianyu, who was sitting on the other side of Xuejiao, was a little unhappy.
Pick up the clean chopsticks next to it and pick up the bitter gourd.
"Come, come, eat some bitter gourd."
Put it in the bowl of Xuejiao, with a smile on his face.
Xuejiao looked at him and said nothing.
Yi Tianyu was stunned for a moment, and said blankly: "What's wrong?"
"She doesn't eat bitter gourd." Lin Zhihua explained softly, her voice calm as usual.
Yi Tianyu said subconsciously, "How do you know she doesn't eat bitter gourd?"
Teacher Zheng, Grandpa Wu, and Chu Sheng looked at them again.
Lin Zhihua wiped his hands, and once again gave Xuejiao a piece of fish without spines.
"Since she came to the table, she never touched bitter gourd."
Yi Tianyu: "…"
He looked down and observed, the bitter gourd was placed between Xuejiao and him, so close... The other party seemed to have never eaten it!
"Zhihua is really careful." Grandpa Wu smiled.
Yi Tianyu didn't say anything else, and he didn't feel embarrassed to serve Xuejiao again, but his eyes were always on the two people next to him.
Why do you always feel that these two people feel unhappy
The opposite Chu Sheng also blinked, looking at him from time to time, his eyes full of suspicion.
The meal was finished in such a strange atmosphere. After the meal, Teacher Zheng talked about the key points for a while. The three of them went home to review today.
Lin Zhihua is still here, obviously Teacher Zheng has something to say.
The three of them were also very sensible, and they said goodbye obediently.
Almost as soon as he stepped out of the door, Yi Tianyu rubbed against Xuejiao and said sourly, "You and Lin Zhihua knew each other before?"
Xuejiao rolled her eyes and glanced at him: "It's none of your business!"
When you're done, hurry up.
Yi Tianyu chased after him, still muttering: "Do you really know each other? Nerd, can't you see that you are quite interpersonal?"
"none of your business."
"Nerd..."
Lin Zhihua held the doorknob and listened to the voices of people walking away, her eyes slightly saddened.
"Zhihua." Behind him, Teacher Zheng whispered.
Lin Zhihua regained his senses, closed the door, and walked back slowly.
Just as he squatted down next to Teacher Zheng, the other party squeezed his hand.
This teacher... is one of the few women he has physical contact with.
She was more of a mother, giving him a little rest.
"teacher… "
Teacher Zheng's eyes were wet, and he said softly, "Zijiao is the girl you like."
Lin Zhihua was slightly taken aback.
Teacher Zheng squinted his eyes with laughter, and tears were already on the corners of his eyes: "Teacher has lived such a long life, it's not in vain. Every time I saw you before, it was like a machine, saying what and doing, almost No emotions, you see now... as if you are flesh and blood."
The Lin Zhihua I saw this time was completely different from before.
She was happy and… scared.
Lin Zhihua looked at the loving old man and nodded lightly.
"Well... I like her and want to spend a lifetime with her."
Teacher Zheng wiped his eyes, tears rolled out uncontrollably.
"Teacher..." Lin Zhihua took a tissue and handed it to her in distress.
Teacher Zheng choked, looked at him, and touched his head with trembling hands.
"Zhihua... Zhihua... Jiaojiao is a good girl, but...but...she's too young!"
Gu Xuejiao is seventeen years old this year, and Lin Zhihua is twenty-six years old. They have been absent for nearly ten years.
"I'll wait for her." Lin Zhihua squatted and smiled.
He raised his head slightly and looked at Teacher Zheng, his eyes were firm and warm.
Teacher Zheng rolled back a lot of tears, "I thought you were going to be alone in your life. When I heard you say that you have someone you like, the teacher was so happy. Your grandma... Your grandma Jiuquanxia is also relieved!"
Lin Zhihua continued to wipe her eyes.
"I know your character, and I'm sure you won't change it. Even if someone swears to say it for a lifetime, it's not necessarily true. But the teacher knows you are. If you say you want to spend a lifetime with her, that's a real lifetime."
She knows Lin Zhihua's character too well.
He seems to be deep and indifferent, but he is actually very firm.
A person who is identified by such a person really will never change for a lifetime.
Teacher Zheng's tears rolled out, and she held Lin Zhihua's hand tightly.
"She is too young, her life is full of variables, Zhihua, I am afraid... I am afraid... She will not choose you in the end... "
The scary thing about this world is not that it remains the same, it seems that the whole world is gained and the whole world is lost.
Teacher Zheng felt a lot of pain in her heart. Xuejiao was too young. She hadn't even entered the university yet, she was just a little eagle under the eagle's arm.
Lin Zhihua can guard, watch and take care of him at this time.
In the future, when she grows up and fights against the sky, will her eyes stay on Lin Zhihua
In her heart, Zhihua is the best man in the world, but there is a gap of nearly ten years between him and Xuejiao!
Time is something no one can buy.
Lin Zhihua looked at the crying old man in front of him, his eyes gradually turning red.
His voice was very soft, as if it would blow away with the wind at any time...
"But teacher, I can't help it. I can't help loving someone. I have lived for so many years, but only one Xuejiao got into my heart. She brought me light and a different life. Without her, it would be dead wood."
Without her... dying wood...
Teacher Zheng burst into tears and hugged Lin Zhihua in his arms.
God, you have treated this child emotionally for so many years, and pity him, please satisfy him once!
…
Time flies by in a tight review.
Seven days before Xuejiao started school, Cheng Mingze came back.
He was like a traveler who went out with a full bag, and then came back in such a dusty night on such an ordinary night.
Li Sitong was stunned, and immediately stepped forward: "Mingze, you're back! It's so late, why didn't you say anything in advance!"
She seemed to be about to cry, with worry mixed with surprise on her face.
Gu Xuejiao used to like Cheng Mingze, but every time he sees Li Sitong's concern for Cheng Mingze, he still feels uncomfortable.
At that time, she felt that her mother did not love her and did not belong to her, so she hated and bitter.
Xuejiao didn't have any other emotions. She used to accept Li Sitong seriously, but her broken heart had much less expectation.
She cares about Cheng Mingze, and Xuejiao will not have other thoughts.
After all, Li Sitong is also Cheng Mingze's mother now, and Cheng Shuo and Cheng Mingze also care about her, so Xuejiao looked at Li Sitong caring about Cheng Mingze, and didn't think there was anything wrong.
Cheng Mingze hugged Li Sitong, turned around, and hugged Xuejiao again.
Xuejiao stiffened.
Cheng Mingze quickly let go, stepped in and hugged Cheng Shuo.
After he let go, he smiled and said, "A surprise for you! How's it going?"
"You stinky boy!" Cheng Shuo scolded with a smile, and the joy on his face was real.
Cheng Mingze has changed a lot from two months ago. He still looks the same, but he has a lot more smiles on his face.
His eyes were full of vigor and yearning.
Xuejiao also smiled.
"I'm back for a few days and I'm leaving. I have finished what I did with people in Silicon Valley. I learned something, I feel that I have gained a lot, and I have some new ideas. I plan to report to Tsinghua in advance. Professor Tang and I will report. It's been agreed that I'll talk to him in a few days." Cheng Mingze took a few sips of water and smiled happily.
"Is that Professor Tang from Tsinghua Computer?" Cheng Shuo was surprised. Since Cheng Mingze decided to study at Tsinghua, he had learned about Tsinghua. Professor Tang was a particularly good boss in their department.
"Well, it's him." Cheng Mingze's eyes lit up.
Xuejiao smiled even happier. Unlike the original text where he forced himself to do unhappy things, Cheng Mingze now has a dream in his eyes. He has the most sincere dream of a teenager, and he has the courage to pursue it.
Xuejiao felt that Cheng Mingze's life was not necessarily worse than the original achievement.
In the original text, he is the industry leader in City C, but it is only their city.
In this life, Cheng Mingze may not be able to be remembered in history.
"You just came back, and you have to say go again. Fortunately, there are still water jasmine..." Cheng Shuo pouted.
Cheng Mingze grinned, showing a few big white teeth...
"But Jiaozi will defect to me next year!"
Cheng Shuo: "..."
Not to mention Cheng Shuo this time, even Li Sitong was choked up.
"Dad, move the company to Beijing." Cheng Mingze suddenly had a serious face.
He may stay in Beijing in the future, and Xuejiao probably won't come back.
Cheng Shuo stared: "You put it lightly, when our company is Lin's?"
He said this, and suddenly muttered: "Even if we move there, the family's economy will definitely shrink, and many things will have to be redone."
Cheng Mingze spread his hands: "I can make my own money, and you don't need to consider me in the future."
Xuejiao also followed his example: "I don't need financial support when I enter the university. With a scholarship, I can earn some myself."
The three looked at Li Sitong together.
Li Sitong: "..."
She tentatively said: "I buy less luxury goods?"
Cheng Shuo suddenly clapped his hands and said with joy, "Well, let's try it while I'm still able to do it?"
He excitedly said: "I have had this idea for a long time, I am afraid that you will not support me, but I didn't expect you to be more happy than me!"
Cheng Mingze: "..."
Xuejiao: "…"
Co-authoring, you have made this idea a long time ago
…
Cheng Mingze has been at home for the past few days, and Xuejiao has to make up lessons. There are not many opportunities for the two to meet, so they will say a few words when they come back every night.
It can be seen that he is very happy now, and when he talks about the things he likes, he is beaming.
It was the first time Xuejiao approached Cheng Mingze's room until the night before Cheng Mingze was leaving.
When Gu Xuejiao was in the past, Cheng Mingze didn't let her in, and after Xuejiao came, he didn't want to go in either.
"Brother? Dad said you were looking for me?" Xue Jiao gently pushed open the door.
Cheng Mingze turned his head and said with a smile, "Come in."
Xuejiao nodded and went in obediently.
The style of Cheng Mingze's room is completely different from that of Xuejiao, it is more European-style, with a chill.
Everywhere is clean, nothing superfluous.
He was standing up in front of the computer at the moment, Xue Jiao hurriedly said, "Did I disturb you?"
Cheng Mingze shook his head: "No, sit down."
Xuejiao obediently followed his fingers and sat down on the edge of the bed.
"It's the third year of high school, are you nervous?"
Xuejiao nodded and answered honestly, "A little bit."
"Normal," Cheng Mingze nodded. "I also felt very hard when I was in the third year of high school. I even thought about why I didn't go to an international school in the first place. The third year of high school was a very hard, very hard year."
Xuejiao tilted her head and blinked at him.
Cheng Mingze couldn't help reaching out and rubbed her head.
"I'll give you a present."
He took out a piece of paper from the drawer, Xuejiao opened it, and was stunned.
It was a starry sky map, densely packed with stars and densely packed with thin lines, with scale and range written on the lower right foot.
Xuejiao stared closely, unable to return to her senses for a long time.
After a while, she reached out and touched, her fingers trembling slightly...
"This is... math?"
Cheng Mingze smiled, with surprise in his eyes, dragged over the chair and sat down opposite her.
He bent over and looked into her eyes: "I know you like mathematics, this is the work of a mathematician I copied, his name is Migalsi, he is not very famous, and he likes to study the starry sky in a low-key way all his life. In the starry sky, there are two constellations and eighty-one formulas. The position of almost every point is superimposed by a lot of mathematical calculations. But this is only a very small part of the existing starry sky. The existing starry sky is tiny in the boundless starry sky. a part of."
Xue Jiao's eyes staring at the starry sky gradually drifted away, as if walking into his words.
"My biggest gain from this trip is that we are too young and the time is too short! But the future is boundless, the jasmine, and the hardships in the third year of high school. This is the door for us to enter the boundless. Perseverance, you can walk into your future dream. starry sky."
Xue Jiao looked up at him, Cheng Mingze smiled and said softly and firmly...
"Zijiao, come on, I'll be waiting for you in the future."
…
Xuejiao pasted the starry sky map given by Cheng Mingze on the small blackboard, which read... There are 295 days before the college entrance examination.
This small blackboard and the starry sky are things that Xuejiao can see every day when she opens her eyes.
It was probably because she had a good heart. When she was immersed in the stars and dreams, Teacher Zheng took them to see the stars.
It was the last day of tuition. After dinner, Teacher Zheng said with a smile, "I won't be here tomorrow. This is the last night we will spend together this holiday."
"teacher… "
Teacher Zheng continued to smile: "I really won't take any more students in the future. You are also my close disciples. I'm getting old, and I don't know when I'll be gone..."
"Teacher, don't talk nonsense!" Xue Jiao's face turned pale.
Yi Tianyu almost jumped up, "Bah, bah, I didn't say this!"
It is rare for him to like a teacher so much, but this little old lady is so unpleasant!
"I'm not talking nonsense. I'm getting old, and life and death are already underestimated. Before you leave, I want to teach you one last lesson." She stood up, Chu Sheng and Yi Tianyu, who were strong, went up immediately. support.
"Let's go to the roof." The old lady smiled.
So, the three followed Teacher Zheng to the top of the building.
The roof of the building is open-air, with half of the glass roof and half of nothing.
They sat down on the chairs, Grandpa Wu came up with the tea, and the three hurriedly stood up.
"Thank you, Grandpa Wu."
"It's okay." Grandpa Wu smiled and sat down beside them.
The starry sky tonight is very beautiful, the sky is full of stars, it is a rare good day.
Teacher Zheng looked up at the starry sky and narrowed his eyes.
"Before my students came to see me, they felt very angry, they thought my place was too far away, they were all in the suburbs, and they wanted to change my house."
"I don't want to. They don't know that I finally found this place because it's here... You can see the stars when you look up." Teacher Zheng's voice was nostalgic.
The three listened quietly, and even the restless Yi Tianyu didn't speak.
"I miss the starry sky that I could see when I was a child, I miss the mountains, rivers and rivers, and I miss people even more..."
The stars in the sky were very bright, and Xuejiao instantly remembered the star map.
I wonder if that senior is like Teacher Zheng, who often looks up at the sky
"When I was young, all the classmates around me had the blood to serve the country. At that time, none of our class did not study hard. They were like a sponge, absorbing knowledge crazily."
Her voice became very light, very light: "I don't understand why I have to walk for two days, ruining my body to pick up a few students, and they all ask me if it's worth it."
"What's not worth it, I just can't forget their eyes, learning, that's the only way to change them. It's the only way for them not to grow into people like their parents, I must take them out. "
Teacher Zheng lowered his head and looked at a few people: "Do you know what happened to those children later?"
Xuejiao shook their heads. They knew about her deeds, but they didn't know what happened to those children.
"One of them went back in the end. He was afraid. The outside world was too big for him, so he went back. I didn't look for him again, I knew I couldn't come back. Another was very smart, but he was eager to graduate from junior high school. Work went away, and there was no news. There is also a child, if he goes home, he will live on the ground just like his parents, so he worked very hard and was the only one who went to college at that time. It's quite valuable, and later it can be regarded as a success... "
"And then?" Yi Tianyu asked, Xue Jiao and Chu Sheng were also curious.
"He didn't want his past to be known, changed his name, and then sent me some money, hoping that I would keep silent about his origins."
Yi Tianyu was furious: "How can there be such a person!"
Without Teacher Zheng, he would not have been able to get out of that mountain for a long time!
Teacher Zheng shook his head, not paying attention.
"There's another girl, that's my favorite. She doesn't have a smart head, but she works very hard and can't afford a pen and paper. She writes on the ground every day. When I went to her house, there was only a mud stick in their house. In the house, the whole family lived in a dirty wooden bed. But the walls were full of words."
"What about her later?"
"She..." Teacher Zheng choked a little: "She fell down the mountain on her way to school, broke her leg, and climbed a long way. When we found her, she was gone... I just wrote a sentence next to it... I think Look at the outside world."
Xuejiao's eyes twitched, and something rolled out.
Teacher Zheng continued: "No matter what happens to them later, I will never forget those pairs of longing eyes."
She paused for a while and sighed: "The times have changed, I don't know when it will start, people's hearts have become impetuous, fewer and fewer people are calming down and really studying, and fewer and fewer people are serious about academics, so there is always a lot of tossing. What a moth came out."
The three stared at her blankly.
"I don't understand very well, how can it be the most difficult era when it is obviously the best era?"
Teacher Zheng's voice was puzzled, but no one could give her the answer to this question.
"You three, especially Xuejiao and Chu Sheng, the college entrance examination is no longer a problem. You study for the college entrance examination. I support it. What about after the college entrance examination?" She looked at the three of them, frowning slightly, serious and serious.
"Everything has a purpose, others are taking the college entrance examination, you are also taking the college entrance examination, others are applying to college, you are also applying to college, and others say this major is good, so you also apply for this major. Then what? Then with this popular major, Get a good job? Then get married and have kids, putting it all on your kids? And over and over again."
"I have seen too many people like this, those students who I think are very talented, and in the end, they are all like this, slowly walking into a mediocre life and becoming the most ordinary one in the galaxy above my head. Our life Just like the stars in the night sky, they are ordinary and ordinary, but they are ordinary and ordinary stars. The teacher also hopes that you will strive to be the brightest one. If you can’t be the brightest one, you must give off a light that satisfies you.”
She looked at them: "So you should never stop learning. After the college entrance examination, your life has just set sail. You understand what you want and why you work hard. Just keep working hard and don't indulge in impetuousness."
"Teacher's last class is just... I hope you are upright and kind and stand above your dreams."
All three were lost in thought.
For a moment, Xuejiao looked up at the sky, her eyes focused.
She knew for a long time that people should know the ordinary in their life, but they are not willing to be ordinary.
A lifetime of hard work for your dreams shines brightly.
Yi Tianyu and Chu Sheng also looked up at the sky. This was their first time thinking about life and the future seriously in their youth.
But they were also lucky that they were reminded early on, instead of dazedly embarking on a path that everyone was walking on.
The three of them have more possibilities to chase their dreams than more people.
…
When he left, Xuejiao took a picture of the starry sky and posted it in the circle of friends...
I want to be the brightest star.
Lin Zhihua saw it and commented with a chuckle...
"You can do it for sure."
You are the brightest star and my only star.
Seeing his comment, Xuejiao chuckled and put away her phone.
At this time, the three of them had just come downstairs, the sky was already dark, but the street lights were still bright.
Yi Tianyu suddenly stopped, Chu Sheng and Xue Jiao looked back blankly.
"Why didn't you leave?"
Yi Tianyu's usual hippie smiling face suddenly became serious, he stepped forward a few steps and walked to Xuejiao.
At this moment, they are standing under the street lamp, Yi Tianyu is facing the light, his eyes are bright and shining.
