After breakfast, Zhou Bin quickly cleaned up the mess and acted very diligently.
Then he and Chen Ling sat on the sofa obediently, waiting for instructions.
Take a look at the two of them, each looking more well-behaved than the other, and then think about what you have learned about their recent behavior.
Teacher Wei couldn't help but curled his lips.
cut!
It's really just pretending!
I decided to let them go for a while to teach them a lesson.
Therefore, just pretend you didn't see him, don't say anything, just drink from the cup.
Hmm~
The food just now was indeed a bit salty.
She was calm, but Zhou Bin and Zhou Bin were murmuring in their hearts.
Looking at each other, they were both a little confused.
Zhou Bin motioned to Chen Ling with his eyes, asking her to speak first.
After all, she is my mother.
Chen Ling nodded to express her understanding, stood up and gave Teacher Wei a refill of water, and said tentatively:
"Mom, did you come to us for anything else besides eating?"
"how?"
When Teacher Wei heard this, his face was expressionless, "Can't I come to you if nothing happens?"
"Also, this is a school, call me Vice Principal Wei."
When Zhou Bin heard this, his heart skipped a beat.
broken!
Judging by his tone, he is planning to keep things official!
He couldn't help but cautiously said: "Of course, no matter when you look for us, we will be on call."
"hey-hey!"
The smile was so flattering.
"Stop talking nonsense to me here," Teacher Wei did not accept this trick. "I called you here to ask if you still remember how you promised me."
"You mean..."
"Oh? How long has it been? Have you forgotten?"
Teacher Wei's face immediately darkened, "The reason why I didn't interfere with your affairs in the beginning was because you promised me that you would keep a low profile and put learning first, but what about now?"
"It's almost getting publicity."
"Is this what you promised to be low-key and put learning first?"
At the end of the sentence, the more he spoke, the more angry he became, and he slapped the table with his right hand.
"Mom, don't..."
"Did you turn a deaf ear to what I said?"
As soon as Chen Ling opened her mouth, Teacher Wei interrupted her directly, "Once again, this is school, call me Vice Principal Wei."
"oh!"
Chen Ling was startled by Teacher Wei's sudden outburst.
In her memory, this was the first time that her mother had been so cruel to her.
I felt aggrieved and anxious.
Her mouth tightened, her eyes became hot, and she almost cried.
However, after all, his character is somewhat stubborn, and he tried not to shed tears.
Taking a deep breath, his temper also rose, and he said angrily: "We have not delayed our studies!"
Judging from her expression just now, Teacher Wei was a little soft-hearted and was wondering if she might be too harsh.
After hearing this, I gave up the idea instantly.
This girl has learned to be stubborn now.
What a skill!
"snort!"
"The exam has not been held and the results have not been released. How do you know that you have not delayed your studies!"
Chen Ling did not show weakness and retorted: "After this final exam, the results will prove what I said."
Zhou Bin on the side saw the two of them getting more and more excited, and felt that if they continued talking, they would definitely start to quarrel.
He quickly interrupted and took the responsibility on himself:
"Auntie, don't be angry. It's all my fault. I shouldn't have..."
"You have to say, of course it's your fault!"
Teacher Wei interrupted him unceremoniously, "How did you promise me in the first place? Have you forgotten all about it?"
Zhou Bin, "..."
Seeing that she suddenly took her anger out on herself, he could only bear it silently.
He kept echoing, "Yes, auntie is right, it's my fault. Don't worry, you will definitely get a good result in this exam."
Not to mention that the exam was fine, Teacher Wei became even more angry when I mentioned it.
"Speaking of exams, I still want to ask you," Teacher Wei took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, "You are so sure that you dare to bet with the boys in Lingling class? What else will you do in school if you lose?
Establish a foothold?”
Then he pointed at Chen Ling, "Even Lingling may be criticized. Have you ever considered this?"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and the more serious his words became.
"Originally, you seemed to be quite steady in your work, but why did you lose your composure at the critical moment?
If I had known this earlier, I shouldn't have let you and Chen Ling fool around in the first place.
Otherwise, we wouldn’t be in trouble now!”
Zhou Bin sat opposite, looking a little embarrassed.
But after all, she is my future mother-in-law, what can I do?
Just listen!
He didn't care, but Chen Ling was unhappy.
"Mom, Zhou Bin is definitely not impulsive. He only agreed to the bet when he was sure. How could you say that to him without asking for clues?"
"I think in the entire school, you are the only one who believes he can win.
Try someone else.
Anyway, I’m tired of seeing it!”
Teacher Wei was obviously not in the mood to argue with them and directly stated the purpose of asking them to come.
"Okay, we don't need to discuss this matter. I asked you to come here this time to remind you to pay attention to the influence in the school and not to be so high-profile."
After saying that, he waved his hand a little irritably, "Go back!"
"There is an exam the day after tomorrow, so study hard before the exam."
Finally, I went back to work behind my desk.
I was still angry and didn't want to talk to them anymore.
Chen Ling wanted to say something more, but Zhou Bin stopped her.
"Let's go first. Your mother is right, the final exam is the most important."
After saying hello, Zhou Bin took Chen Ling and left.
He knew very well that Teacher Wei was angry right now, and it was pointless to argue with her.
It's better to speak with facts.
Wait for this final exam, get good grades, win the bet, and everything will naturally be calm.
Outside the office.
Chen Ling looked at Zhou Bin, thinking about what her mother said, her expression was a little uneasy:
"My mother was angry just now. Don't take what he said to heart."
Seeing the worried look on her face, Zhou Bin knew that it was because she cared about her own feelings.
Although I was moved, I was also a little helpless.
Are we such stingy people?
He scratched her nose with his right hand and pretended to be angry: "Don't think so wildly. Am I such a small-minded person in your mind?"
When Chen Ling saw his attitude, she felt relieved and put a smile on her face again.
"Of course not," Chen Ling quickly explained, "I'm just afraid that if you think too much, the exam will be coming soon and put more pressure on yourself."
Having said this, he sighed:
"well!"
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Bin didn’t understand, why did he suddenly emo?
"I was thinking about the last time the food stall was burned down."
Chen Ling held his hand tightly and said, "I can feel that you were under great pressure in those days.
I don’t want to put you under so much pressure anymore because of the bet and my mother’s attitude.”
Looking at Zhou Bin, his face was filled with distress.
Obviously he thought of the scene at that time.
"Fool, it's all foolproof. Don't worry if you feel any pressure."
Zhou Bin quickly comforted him.
However, looking at the worried girl in front of him, he felt a little regretful.
Maybe he really shouldn't have agreed to the bet so easily.
It's not a matter of winning or not.
Even if I have complete assurance and full confidence.
but.
It is still unavoidable that people around you will worry about you.
Be it Wang Zhijie, Qiao Lei, or even Teacher Wei.
They are all worried about themselves.
Worry about the serious consequences that will occur if you lose.
Even Chen Ling and Xiao Yuan, who believe in themselves the most, may have other anxieties because of this incident.
I just blindly say that I am sure, which obviously cannot make them feel at ease.
It is impossible for them to be at ease until the matter is over.
Isn't this another kind of irresponsibility?
Thinking of this, Zhou Bin was a little stunned.
Since entering high school, my aggression seems to have increased a lot.
Compared to junior high school, things are more radical.
Although I have to take the initiative to fight for something, think carefully about what happened this semester.
It seems that it is no longer just a matter of initiative.
"Now it looks like it's a bit swollen!"
Zhou Bin couldn't help but murmur to himself.
"What did you say?"
Chen Ling didn't pay attention and didn't hear clearly what he said?
I asked looking forward to it.
Zhou Bin came to his senses and said, "Oh, it's nothing."
Paused for a moment, wondering what Chen Ling thought of this.
He asked seemingly casually: "What do you think is different between me and junior high school?"
Chen Ling didn't understand why he asked this question.
But after thinking about it seriously, he said uncertainly:
"If you don't tell me, I really didn't pay attention. If you want to say something different, there really is."
"oh!"
Zhou Bin became serious and said, "Let's talk about it."
Seeing that he cared so much, Chen Ling became a little unsure.
"Is it important?"
"I just have a feeling. I don't know if it's right or not. Will it mislead you?"
Zhou Bin was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't laugh or cry, "It's nothing important, I'm just curious, feel free to say it."
But I was very happy in my heart.
I am really lucky to have met such a girl who thinks about myself in everything.
Chen Ling felt relieved after hearing what he said.
"Hmm~"
I thought about it for a while, as if I was considering how to describe it.
"Yes!"
Chen Ling looked at him with a smile on her face, "I feel that you have changed quite a lot.
When we first met, I thought you were just a little bastard who didn't like to study.
Because you helped me before, I have been trying to pull you out of the club and let you study hard."
Sitting here, Chen Ling stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, "As you know, it's been almost a semester and I still haven't succeeded."
However, she then looked at him with admiration and said, "What I didn't expect was that after you had a fight outside the school, you came back as a different person.
Not only have I become more mature, but I have also quit the club and started studying hard.
I was very surprised and equally happy for you."
Having said this, she looked at him curiously, "I've never asked you, what prompted you to make such a big change?"
"Uh~ This..."
Zhou Bin was stunned by her sudden question.
I didn't know how to answer for a while.
I definitely can't tell her the truth.
Regarding rebirth, Zhou Bin will definitely rot in his stomach for the rest of his life.
Fortunately, Chen Ling herself didn't know what she was thinking, and looked shy.
She looked at him affectionately and said, "Oh, I understand, you don't need to say anything."
"..."
Seeing her like this, Zhou Bin was dumbfounded.
What did you understand?
Can you tell me if it's convenient?
I still don’t understand!
It turned out that Chen Ling thought of the conversation between the two when Teacher Wei came to chat with her after their relationship was exposed.
At that time, Teacher Wei told her that Zhou Bin studied hard in order to make himself worthy of her.
She only remembered it after asking this question, so she said she understood it.
The reason why Zhou Bin said that at that time was just to create a personality for himself.
So that Teacher Wei can agree to his relationship with Chen Ling.
Once the purpose is achieved, put it aside.
Over time, I forgot about it.
In a sense, Zhou Bin is also a smooth-talking scumbag.
Naturally, I couldn't understand the causes and consequences of Chen Ling's behavior at this time.
But when it comes to good things like this, he is happy to make mistakes.
He nodded seriously and said, "Well, as long as you understand."
Then, he quietly changed the subject and said, "You continue."
"Um."
Chen Ling smiled softly and agreed softly.
Judging from his expression, he is still immersed in emotion.
It took a while to calm down and continue: "After that fight, you became mature and loved to learn.
But it seems to have gone from one extreme to another."
Zhou Bin was a little surprised when he heard this, "What does this mean?"
"How should I put it?" Chen Ling tilted her head and thought for a moment, "It's like she suddenly changed from a lawless little gangster to a fearful coward."
"..."
Zhou Bin was speechless.
Would you be so cowardly when you were just reborn?
I couldn't help but retort, "I was a little cautious at the time, but it wasn't as serious as you said, right?"
Chen Ling sneered at his words, "Why not? It's even more serious than what I said.
I can even vaguely sense that you are carrying a lot of pressure in your heart.
I am not as confident as I am now."
Zhou Bin believed this.
What's the situation now?
The food stall earns tens of thousands a month, while other people would be just as straight-backed.
Maybe more confident than him.
Money is a man's courage. Once you have money, you will naturally be bold and confident.
Thinking of this, I laughed, "At that time, my family was very poor, and my studies were poor. I didn't even know if I could pass the key high schools. How could I be confident?"
"It's different," Chen Ling shook her head and disagreed with his statement, "I don't think it's about money."
"Oh, what is that?"
"I can't tell you clearly. It feels like you were a little inferior at that time."
After saying that, Chen Ling laughed herself first, "Maybe it was my misunderstanding. I always felt that something was wrong with you when we were studying together."
Hearing this, Zhou Bin looked at her in surprise:
Are all women’s sixth sense so accurate?
Yes, Chen Ling's feeling is right.
At that time, Zhou Bin did feel a little inferior when facing her.
Again, compared to Chen Ling, she was beaten in all directions.
Anyone else would have to feel inferior.
Zhou Bin thinks his performance is still good.
Although I have nothing, I still have the confidence to be reborn.
It gave him something to rely on in his heart.
Let him feel inferior while still being able to continue to get along with Chen Ling.
It wasn't until later that he figured out some things on his own.
Start taking the initiative to do something.
Make friends with Liu Changyuan, establish a relationship with Mr. Xu, and propose the idea of food stalls, etc.
Sure enough, Chen Ling's next words confirmed this point.
"But then the feeling disappeared."
He recalled it carefully and said, "It seems that starting from the time that man named Liu Feng started to cause trouble for you, your whole feeling to me has changed again."
"How to describe it?"
Seeing that she didn't know what to say for a while, Zhou Bin answered for her,
"Are you less worried when doing things? Are you no longer passively waiting?"
When Chen Ling heard this, her eyes lit up and she agreed very much, "Yes, that's what it feels like."
"It lasts until high school starts."
"After entering high school, I feel that you are very confident, as if everything is not in your eyes."
"Exceptionally domineering."
“Exceptionally handsome!”
Having said this, Chen Ling blushed slightly and felt a little embarrassed.
Hearing this, Zhou Bin lost his happy mood.
On the contrary, I was smiling bitterly in my heart.
"well!"
"You are so domineering and so handsome!"
"Now it seems that this is not self-confidence. It is clearly conceited and arrogant."
Through Chen Ling’s description just now.
Zhou Bin also reviewed his own mental journey.
It is different from what was analyzed some time ago.
I just felt like I was floating a little before, but now it seems that I'm not just floating, I'm already flying.
From the beginning of school registration until now.
It seems that I can't bear the slightest grievance.
Anyone who offends oneself will subconsciously want to take revenge severely.
Gaolin and Gaoshan are like this when there are small conflicts such as quarrels.
A food stall was burned down, and the same happened to Jiang Chao in such a big conflict.
My roommate was bullied by gangsters, but what I wanted to do was wipe out all gangsters in the county.
Although the goal was achieved, I never thought about what would happen if it failed.
The same is true for recent betting incidents.
In the past, he would not have taken provocations like Xing Rui's to heart at all.
But this time it caused a commotion all over the city.
The whole school was in an uproar.
It makes friends, teachers, and relatives around me worry about myself.
But at that time, I never considered whether it could be solved in other ways.
Facing the key classes of the school, his attitude is very high.
Even a kind of overlooking mentality.
Similarly, after establishing a relationship with Chen Ling, she became increasingly reluctant to restrain herself.
The result was that Teacher Wei was dissatisfied.
Thinking about what he had done during this period, Zhou Bin broke into a cold sweat.
As the saying goes:
If you want to cause people to perish, you must first make them crazy.
Although I'm not that crazy yet, if I continue like this.
If it floats higher and higher, sooner or later it will fall badly.
"It seems that after I achieved some results, my mentality became unbalanced!"
Sure enough, one cannot lack a sense of awe.
Otherwise something will happen sooner or later.
And this also made Zhou Bin realize clearly again:
Even if he is a reborn person, he is still just an ordinary person.
You can also make mistakes yourself.
It’s better to be alert at all times.
Thinking of this, Zhou Bin made up his mind to change his behavior after this betting incident was over.
I have been too wasteful during this period of time.
This is not possible!
You have to continue to hold on, and then you will get nowhere.
The days ahead are long.
It’s better not to be too presumptuous!
Unfortunately, life is unsatisfactory nine times out of ten.
What happened next taught him, a reborn person, a good lesson.
