I'm a senior in high school, and the system says I'm going on a blind date with my childho

Chapter 39 The purpose of language is for communication.

"I've got it! I've got it!"

Unlike his usual practice of arriving at school just before the start of morning reading on Sunday, Zhou Shaojie arrived 5 minutes early.

"So you finally realized you're a time traveler?" Yang Ze looked at Zhou Shaojie with a grin.

"A time traveler who's a load of rubbish."

As Zhou Shaojie spoke, he turned his back to Zhuo Peipei and walked to the desk.

After taking his seat, Ah Jie began to call to the people sitting next to him.

"Come, come, everyone, listen to my groundbreaking discovery! This is absolutely a gem in the history of biology!"

"If you feed me shit first thing in the morning, I'll hang your name on the campus confession wall and find you in Nantong," Zhuo Peipei threatened.

"I'm not a priest."

Ah Jie cleared his throat and, seeing that everyone was seated, began to speak with a serious expression.

"Yesterday, Aze was talking about what dominant genes are among mixed-race individuals, right? I looked up some information about it after I got back."

"The European and American regions?" Chen Mingyu asked subconsciously.

A silence fell over the room.

"cough!"

Shen Yuan broke the silence with a tactical cough: "A-Jie, you continue."

Ah Jie touched his nose, trying to hide his embarrassment.

"Actually, you see, among people of different races who are mixed-race, there is one thing that is the most prominent and obvious!"

"What?" everyone asked in unison.

"The largest organ in the human body is the skin!"

A-Jie continued, "Think about it, when white and yellow people are mixed-race, it's actually not very easy to tell the difference in the appearance of a baby's skin, right?"

After a moment's thought, everyone nodded in agreement.

At this moment, Shen Yuan had a premonition that A-Jie was about to pull off something amazing.

"But what if it's a Black person? Whether a Black person is mixed with Asian or White people, their children will all have Black skin!"

Ah-Jie excitedly announced, "So, the gene for dark skin is a dominant gene in humans! Applause, please!"

"Awesome!"

"A biologist! This is what a biologist is!"

Shen Yuan could only say...

"Damn, that's amazing."

Watching the video, you can draw this conclusion: to do such a great job so early in the morning, that's truly worthy of Ah-Jie.

Because of A-Jie's "discovery" of dominant genes in humans, the entire morning reading session was filled with an unusual joy.

"Why do we have to learn English? This is cultural invasion!"

"You don't know anything! This is for learning so we can culturally invade, create Chinglish, and make our opponents resemble us!"

What do you consider to be good at English?
Once you're seated in the restaurant, do you start rattling off a bunch of English words to tell the waiter what you want to eat when the waiter comes to you?

Hello, I'd like to order a salad.
Do you think you're having a conversation with the Queen?
Entering the restaurant, I opened the menu, held up one finger, and said to the waiter, "This, this, this, thank you."

The purpose of language is for communication.

Once the purpose of communication is achieved, the use of language is accomplished.

Any sophisticated language used in everyday conversation serves only one purpose—to show off.

……

The second and third periods are the weekly Chinese language test.

Because there are essays to write in Chinese class, Sister Lan usually arranges weekly tests during long breaks between classes, or during evening self-study sessions.

With the weekly Chinese test over, this week's tests are now completely finished.

I reckon that during evening self-study, Teacher Zhou will hand out the math test papers to motivate everyone.

"The weekend is over, so get back to work and focus on your studies. You're in your final year of high school now, so just tough it out and get through this last year. Once you get to college, you can relax and have fun."

That's pretty much the kind of rhetoric used to lure people in.

I'm giving you a glimmer of hope, so you won't die.

The mood of everyone in Class 15 was quite good and stable.

Stable epilepsy.

However, Lao Zhou was right about one thing.

Just hang in there.

After the fourth period, it's time for the short holiday.

Shen Yuan's holiday arrangements are in place. Since he didn't get any late-night snacks yesterday because of Li Zhi, he's hungry all night. So he has to treat everyone to a good meal.

These two kept saying they wanted to avoid each other, but they still ended up hanging out together during the holidays.

As a small county, Jiyang only has a few places to eat.

Where do you want to eat?

"Let's go eat grilled fish, it's been a while since we've had it."

Shen Yuan nodded.

There is one advantage to taking Li Zhi out.

This person doesn't have decision-making anxiety.

Generally speaking, when Li Zhi thinks about what she wants to eat, she makes a decision immediately instead of looking at a bunch of shops and hesitating.

Of course, sometimes when Li Zhi is too lazy to make a decision, he will hand over the decision-making power to Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan also did not suffer from decision-making phobia.

After making a phone call home, the two went to the mall.

Grilled fish was quite popular a few years ago.

However, in recent years, the hype has largely died down, and the shops have become rather lukewarm.

When it was lunchtime, the restaurant was quite crowded, but there was no need to queue.

In such a small area as Jiyang, with shopping malls opening one after another, the flow of people naturally disperses.

However, the popular store remains popular.

Neither of them particularly liked spicy food, but both preferred a sweet and sour flavor.

Shen Yuan argued that appropriate spiciness can enhance the taste, but excessive spiciness will mask the original flavor of the ingredients.

My taste buds were so sore they were about to explode; I couldn't even tell if the meat was good or bad, and my mouth was just full of spiciness.

Nowadays, some Sichuan restaurants add spice to everything regardless of what it is.

Spicy is Sichuan cuisine, and Sichuan cuisine is spicy.

But in fact, spiciness is only one part of Sichuan cuisine.

Shen Yuan hates anything that's spicy.

Before the dishes were served, Shen Yuan went downstairs to get Li Shaozhong's 30% sugar, less iced mango pomelo sago, and also got his own sugar-free, normal iced passion fruit.

Are you confident you can score over 600?

Shen Yuan stopped stirring the straw.

"Sister, can we not bring this up?"

Li Zhi didn't reply, her gaze fixed on Shen Yuan, making Shen Yuan feel uneasy.

"No, I did poorly on the math test, I'd probably only get around 80."

Li Zhi poked the milk tea, and after a moment said, "If it really doesn't work, let's wait for the next round. The next round of review will start after this monthly exam, and you should be able to catch up by then."

Shen Yuan nodded: "But I'll make up for it as much as I can now."

"Ask me if you don't understand."

Shen Yuan responded.

After evening self-study ends tonight, Shen Yuan will move to sit next to Li Zhi.

Compared to A-Jie's abstract, science-based problem-solving methods, Li-Zhi is clearly better at explaining problems.

They were clearly speaking the same language, but Shen Yuan couldn't understand the math that A-Jie was talking about.

Just like the math teacher who taught Shen Yuan for those two years.

Just then, the grilled fish was served.

Li Zhi rubbed his hands together: "Let's eat!"

After dinner, the two went home.

On a hot day like this, it's much more comfortable to go home, turn on the air conditioning, and sleep.

study?

I've been studying for a week, can't I take a few hours of rest?
Shen Yuan lay down on the bed, took out his phone and played two games. After losing two stars, he was so angry that he couldn't sleep.

"Let's play one more game, then I'll go to sleep, I'll go to sleep if I win!"

"Damn it! Let's play another round!"

"The last round!!"

After losing seven games in a row, Shen Yuan silently uninstalled the game.

"This trash game ruined my youth."
