Rekindling the dream of becoming a star

Chapter 3 A little test
"Chen Fang, you're back!"

"Yes, if I don't come back, I'm afraid you won't remember me!"

"Wow, with a wrapped head, he looks even more handsome!"

"Fuck you, he's handsome even without a bag!"

Chen Fang greeted his classmates while trying hard to find his seat. To be honest, he really forgot where he sat in high school.

"What are you looking for?" Wang Zhen was very surprised.

"Uh..., I can't remember the location." Chen Fang said embarrassedly.

Looking at his brother with sympathy, Wang Zhen led Chen Fang to the second to last row near the window, then pointed to the table next to the window and said, "This is yours, this is mine!"

"We are desk mates?" Chen Fang was very surprised.

"You continue to pretend to have amnesia." Wang Zhen snorted.

The bell for class rang and Chen Fang sat down quickly. As soon as he sat down, he started feeling the class.

The scarred table, the cold chair, and the crowd of people around him. When the math teacher stood on the podium, Chen Fang shuddered.

I really relived the life of a high school student.

Chen Fang rubbed his temple, took a deep breath, and brought his wandering thoughts back.

What is reading?
Most of the knowledge learned in various subjects is of no use in reality. This is the feeling for most students.

But Chen Fang remembered a time when he was playing basketball in college and there was a professor who loved basketball. They became familiar with each other after a few interactions. During the conversation, Chen Fang asked about this doubt, and the professor replied: The content of various subjects outside the main courses is aimed at expanding students' own way of thinking and their understanding of the world.

The three main subjects of Chinese, mathematics and English each have their own uses.

Needless to say, language can improve personal accomplishment and national confidence to the greatest extent. English is not only a foreign language for you to learn to communicate, but more importantly, it is a tool that you can use when you learn higher-level knowledge in the future.

Because most scientific and technological literature is mainly in English.

Mathematics is the most important. It can be said that if a person wants to be wealthy, mathematics is the key.

The superficial essence of mathematics is to calculate the addition and subtraction of all things and apply it in life and work.

But in fact, the essence of mathematics is: understanding of basic mathematical concepts, grasp of mathematical ideas and methods, and appreciation of the unique mathematical way of thinking.

And how to understand, grasp and comprehend is to grasp the formula.

Chen Fang didn't remember all the professor's words, but he remembered the formulas clearly. He asked the professor, can you learn mathematics well by just focusing on the formulas?
It is certainly not enough to become a mathematician, but if it is just used to solve exam problems, it is more than enough.

Let’s get started, Chen Fang said softly to himself.

At noon, Chen Fang stood up from his seat and stretched. A morning of study made him quite tired, but he felt fulfilled for the first time in a long time.

"Chen Fang, let's go to the cafeteria." Wang Zhen at the next table stuffed the book into the desk.

The memory of the high school cafeteria immediately appeared in Chen Fang's mind. Although the cafeteria of Dongsheng High School did not have as rich a variety of dishes as the university cafeteria, they all used authentic ingredients and were staffed by skilled chefs.

Stir-fried liver tips, vinegar-braised pork intestines, mushroom chicken, celery beef, and red pepper pork tenderloin were all delicious dishes that Chen Fang always missed.

"go!"

The campus is full of students. Dongsheng is a key high school with nearly 7,000 students in the junior and senior high school departments. It is located at the foot of Dongsheng Mountain in the eastern suburbs of Nanyang. The transportation is relatively inconvenient, and half of the students are boarders and half are day students.

The school has two canteens, one large and one small, to cater to students with different needs. Relatively speaking, more day students go to the small canteen.

The canteen is mainly a small shop with a wide variety of cuisines. The prices are relatively high, so most boarders will not come here.

Wang Zhen brought Chen Fang to Luhuapu to celebrate his brother's return to school after recovery from injury. This restaurant is an authentic Shandong cuisine restaurant and also the most expensive restaurant in the school. Even teachers don't come here often.

The two men sat down and Wang Zhen asked Chen Fang to order the dishes. Chen Fang did not hold back and ordered two meat dishes, one vegetable dish, a soup, and two bottles of Coke. After finishing the meal, the corners of Wang Zhen's mouth trembled.

"Good fellow, you're pulling me to death!"

"I'll treat you next time!" Chen Fang couldn't help laughing when he saw his brother's painful expression. It had been a long time since he had experienced such a life of brotherhood, even in his dreams.

The food was served quickly and the two ate with relish. After eating and drinking, they wandered around the campus.

The terrain of the Dongsheng High School campus is quite unique, because it is next to the Dongsheng River. The entire campus is long and narrow, with the east and west gates three kilometers apart. The campus's teaching buildings, dormitory buildings, and office buildings are all built along the river. The two main teaching buildings face each other across the river, which is also a wonder in the Nanyang high school circle.

If we were to ask which school in Nanyang has the best scenery, it would be Dongsheng High School.

However, this also means that Dongsheng has a limited usable area, with various hardware facilities scattered around, and the several stadiums are far apart.

The cafeteria was in the middle of the campus, and Chen Fang and Wang Zhen walked along the straight main road of the campus from east to west. The lunch break was two hours, enough for them to wander around.

The best season of the year is now. The wind is warm, dissipating the slightly scorching sun. "Oh, by the way, what are you going to do with the person who pushed you?" Wang Zhen suddenly asked.

"I have no plans. Let's just leave it at that." Chen Fang felt that if it weren't for him, he wouldn't be able to come back. It was a bit unreasonable for him not to thank him but to give him a beating.

"How can this be? Just because he did something dirty and then ran away, we can't let him go!" Wang Zhen was furious, but seeing that Chen Fang looked indifferent.

"Uh." Chen Fang had no choice but to say, "What do you mean?"

"Shout it out and make him apologize sincerely. If he doesn't call me dad three times, I, Wang Zhen, will not let him go!"

"..."

"That's too much... Well, let's find him while we still have time." Chen Fang also wanted to see who his benefactor was.

"Okay, let's go find Liu Junzhen first. It will be more impressive if we have more people."

Half an hour later, the four of them arrived at Class 12 of Senior High School.

"Chang Sheng, come out!" Wang Zhen pointed at a big black man sitting in the last row and talking to someone and shouted.

The big black guy turned around and saw Chen Fang and the other three. His face suddenly became even darker, and the originally noisy classroom suddenly became quiet.

A dozen students stared at him blankly. Chen Fang didn't feel scared, but rather embarrassed. Wang Zhen saw that Chang Sheng didn't move, so he got angry and said, "I'll count to three."

I don’t know if Wang Zhen had taught this big black guy a lesson before. After hearing this, Chang Sheng was quite afraid. He walked out of the back door reluctantly and came to the corridor.

Several people came forward, and Chen Fang looked at him carefully. He was about 1.8 meters tall, with a strong body and dark skin, as if he had been exposed to the sun for a long time.

"I've also paid for the medical expenses, what exactly do you want?" Chang Sheng said in a rough voice, looking unconvinced.

"Come on, let me smash your head, and then give you a few hundred dollars, how about that!" Wang Zhen pushed Chang Sheng against the railing.

Chang Sheng was speechless, his mouth twitched and he couldn't say anything.

Chen Fang felt that more and more people were watching from both sides, and he didn't want to cause trouble, so he pulled Wang Zhen away and said to Chang Sheng: "I've beaten you, so you have to obey. Don't do such despicable things as shady tactics in the future."

"I didn't push you, I just wanted to cover you up."

"Cover me?" Chen Fang laughed. To be honest, this big black guy had a particularly annoying face, with long eyes, short chin, crooked mouth and flat nose. He would get upset if he said a few more words.

"What are you going to block with? You're only 1.80 meters tall, are you? I can hit you casually! With your footwork, just do your job as a wooden stake." Chen Fang's arrogant temper came out. He was particularly serious about basketball. Perhaps it was because of this character that he could reach the amateur level even though he started playing basketball very late.

If you don’t agree, I’ll beat you!
Chang Sheng was also angry. He glared and said, "Okay, let's go now. If I lose, you can do whatever you want!"

"If you lose, call dad three times!" Wang Zhen added.

Chang Sheng's face darkened, but with so many classmates watching, he couldn't be a coward, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"

A few minutes later, Chen Fang stood on the basketball court.

This basketball court is an old one with a cement floor, but it did not hinder the students’ enthusiasm for playing. There were people playing in all six frames.

Wang Zhen saw an acquaintance and went up to negotiate with him, and soon a half court was vacated.

He also passed the ball over and threw it to Chen Fang. Wang Zhen walked up to him and whispered, "Are you sure?"

"Nonsense!" This was the first time Chen Fang touched a basketball after returning. He rubbed the surface of the ball with his hands and a sense of familiarity arose spontaneously.

This is…….

Chen Fang was shocked.

In a trance, that very familiar feeling, as if it was born in him, enveloped him.

Unbelievable speculation, this feeling can be aptly described as an epiphany.

It seemed as if some of my basketball skills from my previous life had traveled back through time and space.

"Chen Fang, Chen Fang!" Wang Zhen patted Chen Fang when he saw that he was distracted.

"Come on!" Wang Zhen pushed Chen Fang to the center of the field.

Under the gaze of dozens of students who were playing ball and watching, Chen Fang suddenly laughed happily.

Since God is so supportive, I certainly cannot let him down.

Today I will use this big black one as a sacrifice.
