Age of Legends

Chapter 25 Rain

I have reached a consensus with Wang Bowen, and everything will be implemented at the end of the semester.

Now, time is limited and he has to face the final exam. Since he has decided to show his true ability, Zhang Chen is carrying out the "High School Knowledge Completion Plan" every day.

First, practice example questions. The knowledge points in the example questions can actually basically cover the content framework of the test points. Once you get stuck, immediately turn around and study the relevant knowledge points thoroughly. Zhang Chen has a foundation, so this is not that difficult.

Zhang Chen is even more grateful for the two subjects that require accumulation, Chinese and English. He has always been good at Chinese. The classical Chinese that seems complicated to ordinary high school students is actually simple in the end, because classical Chinese is actually more like a mathematical program with a fixed solution. Some of them can even be recited by heart after reading them thoroughly.

For example, in "The Difficult Road to Shu", "Cancong and Yufu, how confused they were when they founded the country! For 48,000 years, there has been no human traffic with the Qin frontier." "The yellow crane cannot fly over it, and the monkeys want to cross it but are worried about climbing." "When will you return from your journey to the west? I'm afraid the road is too steep to climb."

"Li Sao" "I only fear that the beauty will grow old when the grass and trees wither and fall", "I walk my horse on the orchid meadow and gallop on the pepper hill to rest." "I make clothes out of lotus leaves and skirts out of lotus flowers."

Almost every sentence of these poems rhymes, and they are very touching to read.

Zhang Chen chose to recite it aloud by his bed before going to bed after evening self-study. This method of reading aloud to deepen the impression is most suitable for high school classical Chinese. Most of the 32 must-memorize classical Chinese texts in high school are easy to remember, with few difficult ones.

Even from "Li Sao", only a few lines that are easiest to memorize are selected. Otherwise, the full text has 377 lines and more than words, which is really a headache.

Such recitation would often cause Zhang Zhonghua and Huang Huifen to stand outside his door in confusion, wondering if Zhang Chen was possessed by an evil spirit.

English is based on his accumulation. Listening to tapes can help him quickly become familiar with the listening part. As for other writing questions and sentence tense changes, he will have no problem if he does more.

Mathematics still tests thinking skills, and there is a sense of pleasure in doing exercises, especially for people like Zhang Chen who have taken the postgraduate entrance examination and then turned to attack high school mathematics. When Zhang Chen took the postgraduate entrance examination, he felt that he was terribly strong. He imagined that if he was reborn back to high school at that time, he would be able to defeat the mathematics that gave him a headache.

Now it has become a reality. The idea is beautiful, but the road ahead is still bumpy. Having the foundation for postgraduate entrance examination does have advantages when doing math problems, but this is an advantage accumulated through hard work, not an advantage of mathematical talent.

The so-called mathematical talent is that when I take a look at a problem, I may not even know the solution process, but I know the answer to the problem.

Zhang Chen did not expect to become such a genius in his lifetime. In fact, he was reborn with his inherent thinking, without any bonuses or systems. But he really wanted to learn mathematics. He was so overestimating his own abilities that he wanted to make a breakthrough like Don Quixote to take on this damn subject that had caused him so much suffering, beaten him up countless times, and tortured him countless times.

It can be said that after Zhang Chen was reborn, he found that his biggest enemy so far was not his family circumstances, not the feud with his cousin’s husband, or even the unfinished business venture with his godfather Wang Bowen.

It’s the mathematics in front of us.

Mathematics is the universe's contempt for mankind. It is a cold tool to measure the "self-proclaimed intelligent life" on the planet but is actually a group of insects. It is the tentacle of Cthulhu that will cause pain to the body and mind as long as it pursues it.

It was the dark sky that once hung over the heads of countless people.

This is the dignity that the reborn Zhang Chen wants to take back!

Of course, these three subjects are the ones that Zhang Chen can burst out before the end of the semester. For physics and chemistry, he can only memorize the formulas, look at the chain structure, and pick up the points that can be supplemented in the short term. No matter how small the mosquito is, it still counts.

It was in this hard work that time passed, the weather cooled down, and after two consecutive days of low pressure and cloudy days, it suddenly rained in Rongcheng that afternoon.

The drizzle continued.

The person who was beaten felt depressed and confused.

If the rain has not stopped by the time the evening self-study get out of class is over, the students who did not bring an umbrella today will learn the lesson of "preparing for a rainy day".

The fact is, Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei are two lessons.

The two stood under the eaves of the teaching building, listening to the crackling sound of rain hitting the banana leaves, looking at the wet ground outlined by the dim street lights, and felt that there would definitely be a heavy rain today.

In such weather, it was obviously impossible for the group who had been going home together in the same area to gather again. Some of them either hid under other people's umbrellas, such as Qin Zhu and Yu Zexi, or shared an umbrella in pairs, such as Lin Yi and Liu Jin.

"I still have some chemistry homework to do today, so I have to go back and do it. We'll leave first. Actually, there's room for one more person to hide under the umbrella. Do you want to come?" Lin Yiren was quite nice.

But Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei were inseparable, and it would not be appropriate for either of them to leave, so Zhang Chen said, "Why don't you go first."

Wang Shuowei shook his head. "Wait a minute, the rain will stop. If we can't make it, we should rush out!"

Zheng Xue and Shen Nuoyi also happened to have an umbrella. Shen Nuoyi usually kept an umbrella in his drawer. The two of them came out from another passage and saw Zhang Chen and Wang Shuowei standing at the staircase seven or eight meters away. Zheng Xue greeted them. "Zhang Chen, Wang Shuowei, don't you have an umbrella?"

"No!" said Wang Shuowei.

"Then Shen Nuoyi and I will leave first!"

"Let's go, let's go!" Wang Shuowei waved his hand.

Zhang Chen also nodded to them.

Zheng Xue turned around and said, "Let's go."

In the interweaving of light and shadow, Shen Nuoyi paused.

Zheng Xue said, "Hmm?"

Shen Nuo looked at the umbrella in her hand. She really didn't like rainy days and getting wet in the rain, so she asked her mother to prepare a very large umbrella for her. It was more than enough for three people to fit under the umbrella, and if it was a little crowded, it would be no problem to take the two people over there away as well.

But there is a problem.

How should she start?
She was helpful, but two men and women, under the same umbrella, would inevitably squeeze each other's space. How would others see it? For some reason, she recalled the day when Zhang Chen pulled her hand and squeezed a passage in the carriage.

This was something she had been trying hard to avoid thinking about lately.

Because whenever she thought of the playful looks that some students in the carriage gave them, she felt extremely embarrassed. She wished she had just thrown herself to the ground that day, so that she wouldn't feel ashamed as she does now. She's really not used to it.

Besides...she really didn't like being caught in the rain.

Such hesitation.

Zhuang Yanyue walked down the corridor where Class 7 was located, and then saw Zhang Chen at the entrance in front.

As mentioned before, the teaching building is L-shaped. Zhang Chen and his classmates actually came down from the passage of Class 5 and arrived at this location below the corridor of Class 7, because the light here is the brightest and there are many banana leaves in front. If they want to sprint, they can use the plants here as a cover to block some of the rain.

But they are waiting and watching.

And Zhuang Yanyue saw the two of them.

Zhuang Yanyue was wearing a yellow knitted jacket, brown pencil pants, and a pair of sneakers. She thought for a moment and walked towards Zhang Chen.

Zhang Chen also saw Zhuang Yanyue. As she walked towards him, she turned the linen backpack on her back over and put it on the front. She opened the side zipper with her left hand and took something out of it. She held out the folding umbrella in her right hand after she walked in front of Zhang Chen and said, "Here you go."

Shen Nuoyi stopped walking. Zheng Xue's attention was completely focused on the scene over there, which was shrouded in the brilliant yellow light.

"You...?" Zhang Chen asked, looking at the umbrella handed to him by Zhuang Yanyue.

"I have another one." Zhuang Yanyue took out another umbrella from her schoolbag.

Then the umbrella was handed to Zhang Chen.

Wang Shuowei looked at her slightly red face under the light and said hurriedly, "Thank you!"

Zhuang Yanyue smiled and took her hand out of the linen bag.

Nothing at all.

Then she lifted the backpack on her back to cover her head and walked into the rain.
