Two weeks of school was enough for Pei Ruoqing to familiarize herself with high school life. He usually had a lot of work to do, so it wasn't difficult for him to get used to it. The last Chinese class on Friday afternoon was Xiao Xinan's class.
The classroom at The High School Affiliated to Renmin University of China was not air-conditioned, and the fans in the classroom were still whirring. When Xiao Xinan came in, his forehead was still covered in sweat, and his nose was still wearing a pair of retro round black-rimmed glasses. He looked really gentle and refined.
Xiao Xinan looked at the well-behaved person and smiled." We won't be attending class this time. Let's answer the questions and then we'll decide on the class committee. After I choose, you can reject it. Of course, if you're not satisfied, you can come up and compete. The premise is that I have to know the reason for rejecting the competition.”
Then, under everyone's bewildered gazes, Teacher Xiao took out her phone, turned on the camera, and placed it on the podium. Her smile did not decrease at all." I will post the process of this election in the parents 'group chat. Everyone, perform well.”
Everyone was speechless.
"Let's start with a round of questions. Raise your hands and answer first. Those who are active will be given priority.”Even though Xiao Xinan said so, the atmosphere below was still not lively. Most people were still watching. He had no choice but to raise his hand to answer. It was fine if he answered correctly, but if he answered wrongly, he would really be a laughing stock. For this group of proud sons of heaven who stood out from the rest, a wrong answer was equivalent to failing the exam.
"First question, what is the time?”As soon as Xiao Xinan finished speaking, there was a dead silence. He was not surprised, but he still smiled very naturally." I'll count to five. If no one answers, I'll draw my student number."”
"Five, four…"
Finally, a few small hands raised hesitantly. Xiao Cheng looked at a girl in the front row." Liu Ying, go ahead.”
Liu Ying's eyes widened slightly, as if she hadn't expected Xiao Xinan to call out her name so accurately. She wasn't confident enough. Other than studying hard, she was very bad at interpersonal communication. In a new school and a new environment, she also wanted a new start, so she dared to give it a try. Seeing Xiao Xinan's encouraging eyes, she said softly," I think time is everything. No matter what you do, you need time. Time was the time spent with the people around you. It was the fairest and most just. If you treated it well, it would treat you well.”
Although she didn't speak quickly and sometimes paused because of nervousness, Xiao Xinan still smiled at her and didn't interrupt or rush her. After she finished speaking, she took the lead and started clapping. In an instant, the classroom was filled with thunderous applause.
He turned around and wrote down Liu Ying's name on the blackboard. Then, he looked back at the people below." Any other opinions? Each question can have multiple answers.”
Someone started, and people started to raise their hands one after another.
Finally, when the atmosphere was completely restored, Xiao Xinan suddenly looked at Pei Ruoqing, who had been silent all this while." Pei Ruoqing, what about you? What do you think time is?”
Hearing Xiao Cheng's question, Pei Ruoqing looked up at him, as if she was immersed in some kind of emotion and could not come back to her senses. After a long while, she said softly," Time to me…is rebirth.”
Time can allow me to start anew and make up for the regrets of my previous life.
Xiao Xinan gave him a deep look before concluding,"'No matter how many things I do, I'm always in a hurry. Heaven and earth turned, time was pressing. 10,000 years is too long. The first question is to tell you that you have to cherish every second of your life.”
He picked up the chalk and wrote down a few names on the blackboard. They were all the people who had been more active just now. There was no mistake in the names and people.
"My teacher once told me,'The fragrance of the most effective medicine is inspired by the gods. Millet is not fragrant, but virtue is fragrant. The meaning of this sentence was that only perfect virtue was fragrant and pure. Then, what was considered perfect virtue?”This time, the number of people who raised their hands decreased significantly.
"Pei Ruoqing." As soon as Xiao Xinan finished speaking, some people turned around to look. Many people didn't know who Pei Ruoqing was, but Xiao Xinan had taken care of her twice. It was hard not to remember.
Pei Ruoqing, who had been called out again, gritted her teeth. He really did not intend to be too high-profile in high school, but it seemed that Xiao Xinan was forcing him.
Pei Ruoqing was about to refuse, but when she saw Xiao Xinan's gaze sweep across the phone screen, where a video was being recorded, she had no doubt that this video would be lying on her teacher's phone after class. Shi Yihong knew his level like the back of his hand. He had once told him to respect Xiao Xinan as much as he respected An Chengxi.
It was also then that he realized that Xiao Xinan had almost become his Senior Brother, not because he was not qualified, but because he had been forced to. Therefore, he had to carry out Xiao Xinan's request.
Since she couldn't avoid it, Pei Ruoqing no longer struggled. She raised her head slightly and met Xiao Xinan's shrewd eyes." Teacher, may I ask you a question? In your eyes, what is perfect?”
Xiao Xinan raised his eyebrows and looked at the serious young man with a faint smile." Is it perfect if you can't make mistakes?”
However, the young man standing at the back of the classroom curled his lips slightly as if he was mocking her." Your so-called perfection, but I insist that it's not perfect?”
Xiao Xinan stopped smiling and looked at him. The people in the classroom also turned their heads, their eyes filled with obvious surprise.
One was in front, and the other was behind, looking at each other from afar. Xiao Xinan had also done his best because of Pei Ruoqing's words today.
The young man said," Perfect things don't exist. Today, everyone was wearing different masks and playing different roles. Some people even wrapped themselves in several layers. Which one was his true face? Imperfection was natural, but too perfect was fake.”
"Therefore, the perfect moral character that Teacher mentioned doesn't exist in my opinion. Who dares to say that their moral character is flawless? Who dares to say that they haven't done anything wrong? Who dares to say that they're worthy of everyone?”Pei Ruoqing's words left everyone stunned apart from Xiao Cheng. It was only when Xiao Xinan's applause rang out that everyone turned their heads, but they were filled with admiration for Pei Ruoqing.
After that, other people expressed their opinions, but none of them were as shocked as Pei Ruoqing. Xiao Xinan saw that the discussion was almost over and changed to the next question. This time, he did not point at Pei Ruoqing.
There were already more than ten names on the blackboard, and Pei Ruoqing was among them.
There were still ten minutes left before school ended. Xiao Xinan clapped his hands to signal for silence." Let me share my opinion. From the way you answered the questions and the way you thought about them, I can see that you are all very good. A few of you performed exceptionally well. Whether it is your language organization ability or your logical thinking ability, you are all outstanding. Each of my questions is an expectation for you. I hope you can comprehend it well.”
"Now, I'll announce the results. Life committee member Liu Ying, from your answer, I can see that you're a girl with a delicate heart. It's very suitable for you to manage the money. Sports committee member He Peng, lively and active, full of positive energy..."
Xiao Xinan had to comment on every one of them. His accurate judgment and just right comments made everyone convinced and admire him. This vision was really sharp. Ordinary people could not imitate it!
The class monitor had not been decided yet, but Pei Ruoqing had a bad premonition. This scene was very similar to three years ago, but he really did not have the energy to care about class matters now. Senior high school was not as easy as junior high school. Other than the tasks requested by Shi Yihong, his grandfather did not have many more.
He stared at Xiao Xinan, hoping to hear his name from his mouth, but…there was no buts!
Xiao Xinan continued," Class monitor Pei Ruoqing.”Towards Pei Ruoqing, he gave her four words,"”
Everyone had no objections to Xiao Xinan's arrangement. The people chosen were also very suitable. Moreover, the students in the elite class still placed more importance on their studies. Only Pei Ruoqing said," Teacher, I object.”
Xiao Xinan, who was about to leave school, stopped what he was doing and looked at him." Why?”
Pei Ruoqing looked at the people around her." Can I go to your office?”
"Alright." Xiao Xinan adjusted his glasses. He wanted to see what excuse the child, who had left a deep impression on him on the first time, would give him.
The air-conditioning in the office calmed everyone down. Pei Ruoqing pondered for a moment and said," I'm sorry, Teacher Xiao. I've let you down.”
Pei Ruoqing first bowed to Xiao Xi before saying," I don't want to be the class monitor.”
Xiao Xinan looked at him, a little surprised that he had rejected her so straightforwardly." Reason."”
"Other than my studies, my family has also arranged tasks for me. I have also arranged many tasks for myself. I know my limits and can't take care of both.”
Xiao Xinan was speechless. In his opinion, most ambitious teenagers would grit their teeth and bear it even if they couldn't do it. Firstly, they didn't want to be looked down upon by the people they cared about, and secondly, they were too proud. For example, when he was young.
Pei Ruoqing made him look at her in a different light. She did not seem to care about what others thought. He was a little impressed.
However, if he let him off so easily, would he still be Xiao Xinan?
"Are you sure this is your limit?"
Pei Ruoqing answered without hesitation," No. But I don't want to make myself so tired. Forcing myself to do things I don't like is not great but a waste of my life.”
Xiao Xinan was shocked by his words, and the smile on his face almost disappeared. Time seemed to have passed by. After a long time, he sighed and said," It's not that easy. Everyone has to be responsible for their birth and identity.”
"The elders in my family take pity on me. Although I've learned a lot, I basically like them. In the future, they won't force me.”
"I really envy you!" Teacher Xiao sighed at the wrong time. Pei Ruoqing realized the melancholy in Xiao Xinan's eyes and didn't know what to say.
"Go back quickly. Although the teacher is open-minded, there's still a little old-fashioned in your family.”Xiao Xinan urged him to leave, pretending not to care.
On the afternoon of the first day of school, he had looked for Shi Yihong to understand some things. Naturally, he knew that Pei Ruoqing was currently staying at the Shi residence.
When Pei Ruoqing heard the words " little old-fashioned ", she was stunned. If he was not mistaken, the little old-fashioned seemed to be referring to his brother, right?
After a long time, he finally said," My brother is not old-fashioned.”
When Xiao Xinan heard this, he immediately burst into laughter. Pei Ruoqing could not take it anymore and turned around to leave the office, even forgetting the purpose of entering the office.
Pei Ruoqing returned to the classroom to take her bag and was about to go home. There was still half a month before Shi Yunshu's birthday. This was the first birthday he had spent with him, so he had to think about what to give him.
In his previous life, Shi Yunshu had never told him about his private matters, and he had never investigated Shi Yunshu, so he had never known when Shi Yunshu's birthday was. In the year of his rebirth, he did not have the mood to do so. When he later found out that Shi Yunshu had returned to the capital, this had always been a regret for him.
