    new year 2

    Shen Luo pressed the bell and finished writing, with slightly trembling hands with lingering fear. This exam is very important, and every teacher has been repeating it in their ears. The more they listened, the greater the psychological pressure on Shen Luo, and the more confused he became about the future.

    Then there was mathematics. The invigilator was different for each exam. This time there was an old man who could tell he was retired just by looking at his age. He was wearing reading glasses and counting the test papers one by one. The teacher next to him couldn’t stand it anymore.

    “Teacher Zheng, sit down and let me count.”

    Soon the paper was in the hands of the students. Shen Luo spent the whole night studying the questions that An Yu had circled for him last night. Sure enough, he encountered the last two questions. Most of the tension in his heart dissipated. The two teachers moved in tandem, and all the little moves were clearly visible.

    After Zheng Nianguo finished a set of test papers, he stood up and stretched his legs. He slowly walked behind the students to take a look, paused briefly when passing behind Shen Luo, and then sat down on the podium again.

    At the end, Zheng Nianguo deliberately took out his test paper and took a quick look at it, then put it back and saw An Yu emerging from the door.

    “Shen Luo, go eat.”

    Shen Luo asked him to call her by his full name in public and let him do it in private. An Yu was not happy at first, but reluctantly agreed after his strong request.

    Zheng Nianguo’s eyes crossed the frame and fell on the person at the door. He didn’t notice the person standing on the podium, staring straight at Shen Luo and running towards him.

    He naturally took the schoolbag packed by Shen Luo. Zheng Nianguo asked the teacher to leave first, and then waited for An Yu to find him.

    Shen Luo looked at the teacher who had been staring at them on the podium. He felt guilty and did not dare to look at An Yu. He wanted to take back the bag in An Yu’s hand, “Why doesn’t this teacher leave? Did he find something?”

    An Yu followed his gaze and the smile on his face became even bigger. He immediately ran over and the two of them gave each other a big hug.

    “Teacher, why are you here?”

    Zheng Nianguo is already over sixty, his hair has already turned gray, and even though his eyelids are slightly looser, his eyes are brighter than ordinary eyes. The wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepen with his smile.

    “The school specially hired me to come back. How is your health?”

    The conversation between the two was more like that of peers. An Yu pulled him up to Shen Luo and introduced, “Teacher, this is Shen Luo, my deskmate.”

    After speaking, he whispered something in Zheng Nianguo’s ear.

    The two looked at each other and smiled, then said to Shen Luo: “Xiao Luo, this is my class teacher. His surname is Zheng. He is a very interesting little old man.”

    Zheng Nianguo seemed dissatisfied with how he introduced himself, but there was nothing he could do about it, so he snorted helplessly.Shen Luo bit her lower lip shyly and said shyly: “Hello, Teacher Zheng, I am Shen Luo from Class 7, Grade 3.”

    Zheng Nianguo looked him up and down, nodded with satisfaction, and said, “You seem to be a good student at first glance, but don’t let him lead you astray. Don’t be nervous about the exam this afternoon. Let’s go eat.”

    An Yu put her arms around his shoulders and said, “Teacher, let’s have dinner together next time. We’ll leave first today.”

    Zheng Nianguo looked at their backs and smiled happily. An Yu was his favorite student, although he, Zhuang Yi and others were thorns in the class.

    But fortunately, Anyu is a person who is relaxed and relaxed in his work, will not bring things to light, and will never be sloppy in solving problems. This is why Zheng Nianguo likes him.

    The afternoon was very tight, and the two of them had no choice but to go to the canteen to have a meal together. There were fewer people there now, and no one would disturb them.

    Throughout the meal, the two of them had very little conversation.

    “The food in the cafeteria is very salty today, what do you think, Luoluo?”

    An Yu turned her head and looked at him who said nothing. After hearing what he said, Shen Luo felt that the food in his mouth was indeed a bit salty, so he nodded.

    During the last exam in the afternoon, Shen Luo met the funny little old man again, but with a different partner, Xie Wenfeng. They seemed to be very congenial and chatted all the time. Xie Wenfeng made him laugh so much that he couldn’t stop laughing.

    Shen Luo had finished writing for a long time, and he still had half an hour left to hand in the paper in advance. The two were chatting in a lively manner, and they couldn’t get in the conversation at all. In the end, it was really not interesting, so he raised his hand secretly. Zheng Nianguo wanted to stand up, but Xie Wenfeng was one step ahead of him and stepped forward. Shen Luo organized the test paper and handed it to him.

    After they left, the two teachers studied the only test paper that was handed in. The writing was full and the handwriting was not neat. It could even be seen that the writing was very impetuous.

    Xie Wenfeng put down the paper and sighed, but Zheng Nianguo repeatedly admired the test paper and said in confusion: “Isn’t this kid’s writing pretty good? Why are you sighing?”

    “It’s quite good, but he’s too disobedient and is used to doing things that are contrary to his wishes.” Xie Wenfeng didn’t know whether he was feeling regretful or angry. He kept sighing. “His grandpa came to the school once before, and Lao Fei was not there at the time. I asked him about it, and he said that Shen Luo used to be a very optimistic and cheerful child. I don’t know when he started to become more worried and unwilling to talk more.”

    “No one knows the reason?” Zheng Nianguo held on to his glasses that were about to slip off.

    Xie Wenfeng’s silence gave him the answer.

    After leaving the examination room, he went to an old bookstore. He would stay here for a long time after every exam. The owner of the bookstore also placed a small stool in the corner where he often stayed. As soon as he came, the boss would know that the school exam was on.

    Shen Luo nodded with a smile, leaned against the bookcase, picked up a book and started reading. When the sun went down, when the street lights went to work, the boss would come over and ask before eating.

    “I’m going to eat, do you want to eat?”

    “No need.”

    Even if the answer is the same every time, Shen Luo can hear it every time so that he can pack up and get ready to go back.
