Octopus
Yu Zhouzhou sacrificed his evening "Slam Dunk" and gave a word of sorry. He got a Hualuogen Olympics textbook that the school forced to purchase, and several pages of notes recording many exercises that only half were notes.
Yu Tingting hasn't talked to her for a long time.
Shortly after the Apple incident ended, Yu Tingting ran to Yu Zhouzhou's room angrily and pointed at her for a long time and couldn't speak - maybe she didn't know what to say. She thought Yu Zhouzhou had mistook the apple and wanted to blame it, but she was embarrassed to announce loudly that the owner of the apple was actually her.
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhouzhou tilted his head and smiled, and described the situation at that time to her from beginning to end.
"So, how could you remember Lin Yang's birthday wrong?"
Yu Tingting said nothing, lowered her head, and tears rolled down her face like little golden beans, "What they said."
The ending sound was a strong crying voice. Yu Zhouzhou was sad. No wonder they were so excited when they saw the expected gift, and even held it to the playground to show it.
Yu Tingting became very silent from then on. She never liked reading books and became obsessed with a novel and eagerly recommended it to Yu Zhouzhou.
Yu Zhouzhou approached her small desk and glanced sneakily at the cover hidden under the math book like her. The four big words on it were very eye-catching.
"Flower Season Rainy Season".
"What story?"
"The story of a high school student."
Yu Zhouzhou opened his mouth wide, "Is it good-looking?"
Yu Tingting ignored her boring question, but sighed quietly and gently stroked the book cover with her right hand, "I just saw Xinran leaving from the place where she worked. She cried, but she didn't know why she cried."
Yu Zhouzhou has never read "Flower Season" after all, but she feels that the whole book has been written on Yu Tingting's face.
Such a dreamy and fascinating expression seemed to have already gone to another world.
"Tingting, do you... like Lin Yang?" Yu Zhouzhou tilted his head with his hands behind his back, intending to pull the topic away from "Flower Season and Rainy Season". When she asked this question, she felt a slam in her heart. Yu Zhouzhou quickly stared at Tingting's eyes and ignored the banging sound in her chest.
Yu Tingting seemed to have walked out of the shadow of the apple. She held her cheek with her hands, looked beautiful outside the window, and the tip of her right index finger was still tracing the shape of the cover every time.
"We are just friends." Yu Tingting said.
Many years later, when Yu Zhouzhou recalled Yu Tingting's tender tone and artificial expression when she said this, she would always smile. She was so serious, but pretended to be calm and pretended, and was 120% sincere. Half of the melancholy was imitation, and half was really sad.
But at that time, Yu Zhouzhou was shocked without any ambiguity. He could only stand there blankly, feeling full of indescribable emotions.
It seems to be envious.
She knew that this attitude must also come from the magical "Flower Season, Rainy Season", which changed Yu Tingting, making Yu Tingting distant and contempt Yu Zhouzhou with a dreamy expression. Her eyes turned to extremely far places, turning Yu Zhou, Zhou, Ling Xiangqian and others into illusory backgrounds.
However, at this moment, Yu Zhouzhou's envy of Yu Tingting has surpassed "Flower Season and Rainy Season". Yu Tingting was not asked by a teacher in a class of Olympiad mathematics. Her household registration guaranteed that she could at least be promoted to No. 8 Middle School and she did not need to take the entrance exam.
I don’t know how to use the Olympiad mathematics, and I have never learned English. Yu Zhouzhou lowered his head and flipped over the Olympiad mathematics textbook in his hand. He looked at the "chicken and rabbit cage problem", "tree planting problem", "summarization problem", "double difference problem" in the catalog... She was defeated by the dense handwriting, and I don’t know where to start. Only the quartz clock hanging on the wall in the room made a dripping sound. Yu Zhouzhou was extremely entangled, and even the fine sweat oozed from her forehead.
What to do... I'm going to be in the sixth grade, I'm going to have a final exam, and I'm going to practice piano to get a level 9. What should I do?
Closed his eyes and saw the little man Zhou Chenran staring at her with his eyes narrowed and the gentle wind that Lin Yang, with red eyes, brought by her when he passed by her.
Why am I so stupid? Yu Zhouzhou slid down from the wide chair and squatted on the ground. The tears of running away from home just now slid down on her face. She hugged her arms tightly, and suddenly she felt completely disappointed.
The panic in my heart has not yet been relieved. She is still afraid. She is afraid that when she goes to school tomorrow, Teacher Yu scolded Zhou Chenran for being beaten in the evening, Lin Yang is punished for her, people in the Zhou family are causing trouble for her, they are afraid that they can't learn how to get into a good junior high school for Mathematics, and they are afraid...
Somehow, my thoughts floated to the moment when I was in the first grade of elementary school, holding a trophy and smiling at the camera in Lin Yang's father's hand. She remembered that the flash reflected a bright future in her eyes, which was extremely bright, but no one told her that no matter how dazzling the light was, it could not be grasped.
There is no fundamental difference between her now and when she was scolded by Teacher Yu as "I am so stupid that I am nothing".
Yu Zhouzhou grabbed the bed sheet and cried like a normal fifth-grade child.
I just didn't dare to speak out.
I don’t know how long it took, but she finally got tired of crying. She grabbed a towel and wiped her face, sniffed, stood up, looked at the math book lying quietly under the desk lamp, and slowly closed her eyes.
Xiangbei will always explode when he is forced into a desperate situation. Yu Zhouzhou, imitating his glasses brother Mu Mu, said to himself softly, "The competition has only really begun now."
Even if there are five minutes left, as long as the protagonist's small universe explodes, the previous part is nothing.
The competition has only really begun now.
Only at this moment did Yu Zhouzhou understand what Chen An said that life is far more cruel and exciting than cartoons. The opponent Yu Zhouzhou faces is like a big octopus with all his hands, but she is not afraid.
Yu Zhouzhou's face turned red with a full of ambition, and the opening song of the Slam Dunk master hovered in his ears. He clenched the automatic pencil of the Winnie Bear in his hand, and turned the page of the "Chicken and Rabbit Cage" problem.
Ten minutes later.
Yu Zhouzhou squatted on the ground and continued to cry.
She forgot that Xiao Tiantian in the cartoon can't do math problems, Saint Seiya doesn't learn math, and Sakuragi Hanamichi is a failed student.
Why can’t I understand? She climbed back to the table and told herself that I was just too anxious. If I take my time, I will definitely find the enemy’s flaws!
...Ten minutes later.
The enemy is impeccable.
Yu Zhouzhou lowered his hands helplessly. For the first time, she realized that there was something in the world that was more powerless than who her father was. Its name was Olympiad.
I can't go to a good junior high school, I can't go to a good high school, and I can't go to a university... For the first time, Yu Zhouzhou felt that the cruelty of reality was so close to him. He could see the suction cup on the octopus' feet clearly.
Under the pale light, Yu Zhouzhou was holding a brand new Olympiad mathematics textbook and silently pondered whether it was really meaningful to live on his own.
Suddenly, the phone rang. The sound of grandma answering the phone rang in the living room. After a minute, Zhou Zhou heard a knock on the door.
"Zhouzhou, the phone is for you."
Yu Zhouzhou quickly wiped the tears from his face, opened the door and ran to the living room.
"Hello?"
"Zhou Zhou? I'm Chen Yan."
Zhou Zhou suddenly felt a clear sweet spring in his heart.
"Yeah." She hugged the receiver tightly.
"Zhouzhou, will your parents send you a trip to the Second Provincial Hospital?" Chen Yan's voice seemed to be sounding in an open place, which seemed very far away.
"how?"
