Age of Legends

Chapter 184 Difficulties
"Nuoyi, I told you the truth, don't be angry." Zheng Xue said in a low voice.

Seeing Shen Nuo listening attentively.

"How should I put it? You value your friends very much, which is your strength. Among them, you have the best relationship with Han Zhouxuan. Once Han Zhouxuan comes to you and appears by your side, you focus on her, and everyone around you will be ignored... Maybe it's not that serious, but I'll use this word." In fact, Zheng Xue also felt the same way, but it was difficult for her to express it normally. She also knew that she could not compare with Han Zhouxuan.

Shen Nuoyi looked at Zheng Xue and knew that his best friend at school was... complaining.

Even Zheng Xue would complain, so it was obvious that she had indeed gone too far at that time.

"And I mentioned the rumors about you and Pei Yan before. When I saw what happened between you and Pei Yan that day, I think Zhang Chen probably couldn't stand it either..."

"But Zhang Chen also has a problem. The osmanthus cake that you made yourself is not even well made! Is he some kind of King Kong Calabash Brothers?" Zheng Xue stood up for Shen Nuoyi again. If she wasn't a little afraid of Zhang Chen, she would definitely scold him to his face!

Shen Nuo remained silent. Zhang Chen did not take the pastries she made this morning, so he got up so early in vain and came to school with dark circles under his eyes. She was angry and anxious.

But when Zheng Xue said this, she still recalled what Zhang Chen said to her outside Nanguang Company last night: "They said that you have always had a crush on Pei Yan, and you said that the innocent are innocent... but in fact, you don't even have the courage to clarify it."

"In fact, I also know that some things need to be left with some leeway. Asking too much will only add to your troubles. People are complicated."

"I know Pei Yan, he's such an outstanding person that it's hard for people to dislike him. There's nothing to be embarrassed about liking him, it's fair competition... But I think you may not have thought it through."

“Don’t rush to deny it. Maybe sometimes, even you don’t realize it or recognize yourself clearly.”

"So... let's just calm down for a while."

……

Shen Nuoyi knew that Zhang Chen didn't want to make up for the missing gift, nor did she want to make up for anything now. Instead, she, Shen Nuoyi, had never responded to his words.

That is to truly know your own heart.

It was not a forced reaction because of fear of losing the relationship with Zhang Chen.

That is, she needs to ask herself.

Do you really like Pei Yan?

Even she herself is deliberately ignoring and even disregarding this point?
Shen Nuoyi's eyes gradually brightened from their confusion, and even became a little cold.

Zheng Xue still said: "How about...wait until the get out of class is over, or after school, and then we can talk to him in private?"

Shen Nuo shook his head.

Zheng Xue looked at her, sighed, and said nothing more.

Emma, I have a headache because of you.

At ten o'clock, the senior class gathered on the playground for a mobilization meeting. A group of people rushed out of the classroom and went to the playground, with a lot of noise.

They gathered one after another, and no one was too disgusted. As long as they were not in the classroom, all activities could be regarded as "playing" and "relaxing the mind". Of course, those who wanted to move the stools and tables by themselves were excluded, as that would be called exploiting the labor force of the vast number of poor students.

The banner unfurled from the rostrum - "Work together in solidarity and strive for progress, endure hardships and temper ourselves into steel!" - conveyed a sense of tension from afar.

This is the mobilization meeting for senior high school students at the beginning of the school year. From then on, there will be monthly exams and a three-hundred-day countdown. When the hundredth day comes, there will be a hundred-day oath-taking ceremony. This is no longer a mobilization, but a swearing-in ceremony to prepare for the battle. The slogans become more and more intense, and the atmosphere becomes more and more solemn. Then they will fight against the torrent of fate, and finally everyone will go their separate ways and scatter across the world.

This is the life and fate these conquerors are about to face.

But at this moment, most people actually don't realize this. Zhang Chen looked at the scene in front of him and recalled that he was in a daze back then. He spent his senior year in high school in confusion and sleeping. Every day he did exams, exams, and there was no way to finish them. A poor student like him could not finish them.

I would sleep when I didn't understand something and was confused. I was humiliated every time the test papers were handed out, but I would smile to the whole class, just like Wang Shuowei, as if I was so proud. The dizzy senior year of high school passed by in a flash, and then I just went with the flow, went to a third-rate university, and lived a life that was controlled by the world and society.

So Zhang Chen, who was reborn, could actually just lie down and do nothing. Putting aside other things, he could have invested in QQ now, seized a few opportunities in the future, and waited for opportunities like Bitcoin, where people could make money without doing anything, to come. He would have a guaranteed life of food and clothing, and a great chance of becoming rich and powerful.

But it is precisely because of the life he had gone through, and the moments when he was helpless, that Zhang Chen, after his rebirth, still devoted himself to studying hard. It was not only because of the impulse of wanting to make a breakthrough when he woke up in college, but also because of the thought of "Can I try to make those impossible things possible?"

Life is so long, and it’s easy to get bored if you don’t do something.

So Zhang Chen decided to do it.

The vice president came on stage, waved his arms, and gave a speech, "Borrowing time and ink, we can paint a thousand springs on the road ahead." Graduate students from prestigious universities returned to school and gave lectures to everyone, telling them how they emerged from cocoons and became butterflies, how a noble son came from a poor family, and gave their own psychological advice on how to deal with the pressure of the third year of high school. Then all the students waved their fists in front of the national flag to show their determination.

At that moment, I was indeed full of fighting spirit.

Many people think this is the so-called chicken blood, and some old-timers don't care. But some people are really motivated. Some people don't have such a good family background, no paved road, no future to choose, and have great psychological pressure. Sometimes they also need such encouragement. Therefore, the beating of war drums in ancient military formations and the giving of speeches before the battle are still effective.

How long this can last depends on the individual. Some people are excited for two or three days, some for several weeks, but eventually they become depressed by the day-to-day repetition and boredom.

Some people see the road ahead and move forward, overcoming all obstacles.

After the mobilization meeting, we returned to the classroom and immediately had a baseline test that was enough to make the whole class groan.

It was euphemistically called "checking the status of summer review and entering the third year of high school."

That’s what key high schools are like, full of shit.

There will be a small test every three days, a big test every five days, a monthly test every month, and a midterm test every two months. Repeat this three times in a row, and you will be ready for the college entrance examination.

It was obvious that after this round of excitement, the buff effect still existed. Everyone was eager to try. Even Wang Shuowei, who usually yawned when looking at the test paper, looked a little serious. He stared at Zhang Chen and said, "Did you study hard this summer?"

"I didn't study hard enough, and a lot of things got delayed."

Wang Shuowei breathed a sigh of relief. It was normal for Zhang Chen to be late. He went to Shenzhen to play and invest, and he had to work with his father on business, new studios and programs. He was also busy with his career and spent all his time investigating investment projects. As a shareholder of Zhao Tao Internet Cafe, he was at the project site every day, concerned about the performance and personally provided guidance.

It’s normal to be delayed like Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen then said, "Probably we can only maintain the same level as last semester!"

"Is this what you mean by not working hard?" Wang Shuowei didn't want to talk to him anymore. Seeing his brother maintaining his level even worse than his own made him feel anxious. This was not simply a matter of face, it might even be a reflection of the truth. Maybe his brain was better than his own!

At the beginning of the new semester, the seats have been changed. The principle of rotating seats is that the same table remains unchanged, two people form a group, move forward two rows, and then alternate between the odd and even columns. Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei were originally in the third group, but now they are in the second group. Shen Nuoyi and Zheng Xue, who were originally in the first group near the window, also moved to the second group. Because they moved forward two rows, they have moved from the third row to the first row closest to the blackboard. They became their group leaders.

It was the physics teacher who asked the group leader to hand out the test papers and placed them in front of Shen Nuoyi and Zheng Xue. The two had no choice but to pick up the thick test papers and stand up to hand them out one by one. As Shen Nuoyi continued to hand out the papers, it was Zhang Chen's turn.

When it was sent to the two people in the front row, Zheng Xue sent it to the physics master, who suddenly said, "Isn't this the Jiangsu Province physics paper from the past two years? It's said to be super difficult!"

This sentence made everyone in the row in front, behind, left and right gasp in shock. This happened right after the school started. It was going to kill everyone!

Shen Nuoyi was still handing out papers. He placed the papers on Zhang Chen's desk and pressed them slightly. When he passed by, he heard a sentence softly, "No matter how difficult the physics paper is, it's much easier for someone to handle it!"

Zhang Chen hissed! When he looked over, she had already walked quickly to the next table, with a slender figure, without looking back.
