An Nuan didn't talk to Liu Changan, and David Gordway didn't take the initiative to talk to people. Liu Changan didn't feel bored either. He picked up a modern reading comprehension exercise book and started to do it.
Ancient literature had its elegance and beauty, and modern literature also had its own characteristics of the times and the joy of reading. Liu Changan felt that he had too little knowledge of modern literature. There was no shortage of literati in any era. With a large number of people, the number of works that were born was also relatively large.
While Liu Changan seemed to be concentrating on his study, An Nuan carefully looked through the chat records between Liu Changan and her mother.
An Nuan's mother didn't know Liu Changan's real age at all. She actually thought that Liu Changan was a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties … But looking at the content and tone of the chat, there was no way to associate a person who repeatedly mentioned Li Lingyu, Cai Guoqing, Mao Ning, Yang Yuying, and even talked about the Chicken Blood Therapy, the Fling Therapy, the Information Pot, the energy of the universe, Qigong to increase production, Qigong to predict earthquakes, and cancer with a high school student.
Should she tell her mother? An Nuan was a little hesitant. If her mother really knew that the person she was chatting happily with was actually her daughter's deskmate, and this deskmate also knew that her mother was only pretending to be a little girl, she was afraid that her mother would be so ashamed and angry that she might even come to school to find Liu Changan.
Let's think about it after the college entrance examination. Anyway, Liu Changan didn't chat with her mother every day. They just chatted from time to time.
It was time for class, and An Nuan was a little absent-minded. The sunlight and the shadows of the trees fell into the classroom, sparsely scattered. The walls and floor of the old classroom always gave off a dirty feeling. It was completely different from the bright and clean classrooms in the TV series that looked as if they had just been painted. However, at this moment, An Nuan had a more realistic feeling. Life was probably so realistic. There were not so many fresh and ambiguous feelings. An Nuan was shy. Her third year of high school was coming to an end. The girl thought with some worry. She had never been in a relationship before.
She always felt that the relationship in college was a little too realistic. It lacked the more raw and fresh feeling of middle and high school. An Nuan looked at Liu Changan next to her and felt inexplicably sad.
"Back to you!" An Nuan slapped the phone heavily on Liu Changan's book.
Liu Changan took the phone from the desk and put it in the desk. The school was strict with the students using the phone in school, but now it had relaxed a lot.
The language class representative handed out the test papers for last week's language test. An Nuan looked at her score and was quite satisfied. She quickly glanced at Liu Changan. His score was a little lower than hers. She watched him flip the paper and see a lot of x's in the reading comprehension section. There was also a comment from the teacher: Don't be careless!
An Nuan couldn't help but sneer, "Hehe, seeing that you like to do reading comprehension questions so much, it seems like it's useless."
"Have you heard of the Dragon Slayer?" Liu Changan closed the paper and asked.
An Nuan's long eyelashes fluttered, and she nodded, "Zhu Cheng learned the Dragon Slayer in Zhi Li Li. A family of a thousand gold, three years of skill, and no tricks."
"The Dragon Slayer is not without tricks. We can also use it to describe the importance of learning a certain ability." Liu Changan pointed at the reading comprehension questions, "This is the Dragon Slayer."
"If you say that political economy is the Dragon Slayer, I can still understand. After all, it is actually something that is not used in daily life. But this reading comprehension question is too ridiculous. " There were reading comprehension questions from seventh grade to high school, and it was the most boring and inexplicable question that An Nuan found most inexplicable.
"A while ago, I saw the news about the Publicity Department's work conference. Someone said that it's not that the West doesn't know how to do mass work, but that they are very good at it. Where is this reflected? For example, if we randomly find an American or an ordinary Western European person, they all know about democracy and freedom. They all say that our country is a dictatorship, but the concept of democracy and freedom, the foundation of our system of government, they can't explain it. If you debate with them, they will only say that democracy and freedom is a dictatorship. "Liu Changan paused," Because they are not good at reading comprehension questions. "
An Nuan couldn't help but laugh out loud. What the hell is this? Thinking about the conversation between Liu Changan and her mother, this person really knows how to talk nonsense.
"What you really need to learn from reading comprehension questions is to think about why the author wrote the article, what his motivation was, and whether his living environment, his family, and his childhood experiences caused the things he expressed in the article to be influenced by these factors. Are some of his words and embellishments guiding your emotions? What is the background of the author writing this article? What is his goal through this article? What is the audience? Is he advocating for a certain interest group? " Liu Changan pointed at the seemingly rigid and inexplicable reading comprehension questions and said, "If everyone can master and apply what they learn, do you think it will be particularly difficult for some organizations or reactionaries to brainwash them through the voice of the media? Is this the art of slaying dragons? "
An Nuan couldn't help but nod. After doing reading comprehension questions for so many years, she had never thought about this question.
"When I chat with your mother on WeChat, she often forwards some articles on WeChat Moments. Think about it, if you master all kinds of reading comprehension methods, how can those articles that spread and try to brainwash you affect you? Why does the Western media have such a big say? Because their readers are not good at reading comprehension questions. Too many people don't know how to analyze the position of the author, the language environment, and the writing motivation. " Liu Changan said regretfully, "Unfortunately, we have been taught the art of slaying dragons since we were young, but not many people think that it is useful. They don't learn it and apply it. When they see some rumors, some brainwashing articles, they will think that they are suddenly enlightened and feel that this is the case."
"You even chat with my mother on WeChat!" An Nuan caught the point and stared at Liu Changan in disbelief.
Liu Changan carefully moved the phone into his trouser pocket and then lifted his leg to press it down.
"Give me the phone!" An Nuan could only stare at him. Because his trouser pocket was in front, close to the position between his legs, and she had to bend over to grab it. It was too big of an action.
"Do you understand the right to privacy?" Liu Changan refused. Looking at her eyes darting around, eager to try, he pointed at David Gordway beside him. "Don't disturb David Gordway's study."
An Nuan thought about it. She could go back and peek at her mother's phone. Since Liu Changan refused to reveal that she was An Nuan's deskmate, she naturally wouldn't remind her mother that her daughter might go home and peek at her phone.
"You plan to go home and peek at your mother's phone?" Liu Changan looked at An Nuan suspiciously.
An Nuan did not say a word.
After school, their classmate, Bai Hui, invited An Nuan and Liu Changan to KTV to sing.
"It's a small class gathering." Bai Hui was the organizer. "It just so happens that we have a day off tomorrow. Resident students can also leave the school, but most of them have to go home. There won't be more than twenty people, so we can book a large private room."
"David Gordway, are you going?" An Nuan asked David Gordway, who was separated by Liu Changan.
"No, I have an appointment with Teacher Liu for a supplementary class tonight. Teacher Liu said that she can tell me some details. I'll take notes and bring them to you the day after tomorrow. " David Gordway shook his head. Teacher Liu was a relative of his family. She did not teach David Gordway's class, but every teacher had their own private knowledge about the college entrance examination.
"Okay, be careful." Liu Changan said to David Gordway. David Gordway was the kind of good student who always thought about solving problems when he walked.
"I can't go. My mother doesn't allow me to go out at night." An Nuan said regretfully. "If I don't go home before eight, I will be in trouble."
After that, An Nuan looked at Liu Changan. If she didn't go, and David Gordway didn't go, wouldn't it be inappropriate for him to go?
"I'm fine." Liu Changan said to Bai Hui.
Bai Hui gave Liu Changan a beautiful smile and went to find other classmates.
"Rumor has it that you like Bai Hui. It seems to be true." An Nuan said nonchalantly.
"Rumor has it that you like Chen Chang-soo. It seems to be true." Liu Changan said with a smile.
An Nuan felt that she was going to die of anger because of Liu Changan. In fact, although they were classmates, there were always people who had a good relationship with each other in the same class. An Nuan and Bai Hui didn't have a bad relationship, but it wasn't to the extent that they could play together.
During the first year of high school, An Nuan was a little famous in the affiliated high school. Naturally, she was the most eye-catching girl in the class. On the other hand, Bai Hui was the more lively and sociable type. She could play with many classmates. She liked to organize or participate in all the activities in the class. Perhaps because of the subtle competition between girls, Bai Hui and An Nuan, the two most beautiful and eye-catching girls in the class, didn't have much interaction from beginning to end.
An Nuan remembered that during the first year of high school, Liu Changan was a little quiet. Once, Liu Changan even fell down the stairs because he was lost in thought while looking at Bai Hui. He sighed in his heart. You are so silly. Why would Bai Hui like someone like you?
