Teacher Nie next to Director Zhang was surprised: "Lu Ran? You went to play basketball yesterday? You... haven't you always paid attention to such... activities?"

"I think this kind of activity is very interesting. We key high school students who are regarded as nerds and degenerate limbs by others, won the sixteenth middle school with developed limbs. Director Zhang, what do you think?"

Lu Ran asked indifferently.

Director Zhang was in a hurry, his fingers landed on Ran, and his shoulders were shaking. He looked at Teacher Nie and said, "This Lu Ran...is he...adolescence? Ah? He has his share of everything this semester!"

Teacher Nie looked at Lu Ran with a helpless expression on his face.

"Lu Ran, you have to know that it's the second semester of high school now! The final exam will be in a few days! You can play basketball with people from other schools during the winter and summer vacations. Before the final exam, there are so many more. Classmates wasting time to watch? Do you really think this is appropriate?"

Jiang Nuan knew that Lu Ran's eloquence was good. As long as he wanted to, he would be able to make the teacher speechless, but then things would get worse. Making Director Zhang and Teacher Nie lose face will only drain their goodwill towards Lu Ran.

Jiang Nuan reached out and dragged Lu Ran, but Lu Ran was silent and did not speak.

Director Zhang added: "Apart from Lu Ran, is there no one else? Is this playing basketball or playing with two? Is it enough for him and Cao Li?"

He Zheng, who was sitting beside the podium, stood up with his head lowered: "And me..."

Teacher Nie gave He Zheng a sad look.

Director Zhang was not surprised by He Zheng, his eyes swept across the classroom: "Is there anyone else?"

Li Tietou in the back row also stood up, touched the back of his head and said, "Director Zhang, until me, no one else in our class will play."

"Okay, since the three of you have all stood up, write a review! Read with Cao Li and Lin Mixia during the morning meeting!"

Director Zhang turned around and was about to go to another classroom to continue the interrogation. At this time, Lin Mixia, who had always been the monitor, spoke up.

"Director Zhang, Cao Li and I, as the planners of this basketball game, wrote a review saying that it is enough to organize everyone to watch the basketball game between us and No. 16 High School before the final exam. Other students, whether it is Lu Ran It's He Zheng, who was invited only because we are class cadres, and asking them to write a review is too serious, please forgive them if they all stand up and admit it."

Countless pairs of eyes in the classroom looked at Director Zhang. Director Zhang lowered his head and sighed, then looked at the few students standing.

"Then let's do it one by one. Each of you must think that when our Academic Affairs Office arrests you to watch a basketball game, it's just a fuss and nothing to do, and it's just too broad, right? Our teachers just think about it. Your test scores and enrollment rate, so I want you to read and study day and night, right?"

This is simply the voice of everyone present.

A few nodded.

"Among the few of you, Lu Ran is the best at talking. He is well organized and logical, and can always make me speechless.

Okay, Lu Ran, I think you, the first grader, must be holding back your words, so say it in front of the whole class. "

Director Zhang's attitude made the students in the entire classroom stunned.

This is completely inconsistent with Director Zhang's ideology and action theme of focusing on achievements and studying hard as the only worldview. More importantly, Director Zhang has always been right, so how can he give others room for discussion.

But Lu Ran is different from others. He is the first in his grade. After entering the High School Affiliated to Normal University, he has never dropped out of the top ten in his grades. Maybe he is the only one who has the strength to challenge Director Zhang. .

"Director Zhang, it is unrealistic for all the students to use their time for study except for eating, sleeping, and going to the toilet. I believe you also agree that studying under pressure also needs to be adjusted, such as listening to music, watching We understand the news network of the society."

"Of course, so you want to say that there is no difference between playing basketball and listening to music and watching news broadcasts?" Director Zhang looked like I expected you to say this.

"No, that's not what I want to say. Because when Cao Li invited me to watch a basketball game with everyone, I thought it was pointless and a waste of time. First of all, this was a privately agreed game by the students. The result of the match does not undo the fact that we lost in the Xinmiao Cup. Second, the physical fitness level of our High School Affiliated to Normal University is much lower than that of the No. 16 Middle School. The probability of losing is much higher than winning, so it is unnecessary. Take your own humiliation, whether it is to watch the game or play the game. Third, if you lose, it will make the students in our school who are not confident in sports even more lose confidence, and will face the challenges of the 16th Middle School in the future. Let’s start. Combining the above three points, it is an unwise or even stupid decision to play against the 16th Middle School or to watch the game.”

The head teacher, Mr. Nie, was nervous at first, and Lu Ran wanted to argue sharply, so that Director Zhang couldn't come down from the stage, but Lu Ran's words just now should be introspective.

Who knew that Director Zhang patted the podium, causing the whole class to shrug their shoulders.

"Lu Ran, you are very good at stirring up my emotions! It's the Xinmiao Cup defeat, and the probability of losing the game is high, so you're humiliating yourself! You want me to think that the match between you and the Sixteenth Middle School is reasonable. If you really feel that way, why would you play the game yourself? I remember you are good at fencing, not basketball!"

"Because I also have self-esteem. I am a member of the High School Affiliated to Normal University. When we are losing ground, when our opponents think that the students in the High School Affiliated to Normal University are all nerds and vulnerable, I should stand up. When I hear my classmates want to leave when they see our defeat, I hope they can stay and cheer for our basketball team until the end like the students from the 16th Middle School opposite. Director Zhang, this matter is very important to you. , the focus is on 'gathering together to play basketball before the final exam', but for me, it is to prove that our high school affiliated to Normal University is not just studying hard."

Many students nodded, and even had red eyes.

"Director Zhang... We all know that the three years of high school are tight, and we know that even if we say 'test scores should not be the only criterion for judging whether we are good or not', most people in society think so. You want us to Focusing on getting the best grades on the test, but we really need a basketball game to give our stressed lives a little bit of dynamism... We also have something to prove, and we want to have it like everyone else The right to cry. Director Zhang, we really don’t know what we have done wrong, you came to arrest us like a policeman who came to arrest a ‘crowd fight’, and asked us to explain honestly, as if we were all criminals.” Squad leader Lin Mixia also spoke.

"Apart from the people who stood up, who else participated in the basketball game?" No one could tell what Director Zhang was thinking, and did he listen to what Lu Ran and Lin Mixia said.

The classroom fell into silence again, as if the communication that Lu Ran and Lin Mixia tried to establish with Director Zhang never existed.

Jiang Nuan took a breath and stood up.

"Director Zhang, you said 'who else participated in the basketball game', right? Then I choose to watch the basketball game and support our classmates, so I can count as participating in the basketball game."

Immediately afterwards, Rao Can also stood up.

Within a few seconds, one after another, the students who had watched the basketball game in the class all stood up.

Teacher Nie's face changed, for fear that Director Zhang was going to roar, so he quickly eased the atmosphere: "You children! Director Zhang is all for your own good, please understand something! Director Zhang meant to ask who participated in the game. Play basketball and connect with the students at Sixteen to plan the game…”

Before Teacher Nie could finish speaking, Director Zhang interrupted him.

"No, I just asked everyone who was there at the time."

All the students in the entire classroom stood up, even those who weren't there that day.

If they used to be afraid that Director Zhang would lead a team to an Internet cafe to catch them playing games, patrolling the exam room, puppy love, etc., but this time they really felt that they had done nothing wrong.

"Actually, what I heard that day was that you invited the people from No. 16 High School to fight for the 'Xinmiao Cup'. Duel, do you guys know how our teacher felt when he heard the news? Let us say that you feel that you have suffered a loss in the Xinmiao Cup. If you want to win back your dignity and face, we can arrange for you after the final exam and invite you to No. 16 Middle School in the name of the school. Wouldn't it be better to play under the circumstances?" Director Zhang tapped his hand on the table.

He Zheng, who was standing beside the podium, muttered in a low voice, "If I tell you the truth, you won't have to lock us all up?"

Of course Director Zhang heard it, and everyone looked at He Zheng. Although he felt that he had said what they wanted to make people feel uncomfortable, but... in case the good-faced Director Zhang was angered, maybe everyone would be unlucky together.

"You think I wasn't at the 'Xinmiao Cup' game? Do you think I didn't feel bad when I saw someone from the Sixteenth Middle School bruise our school's Han Rui? You have only known Han Rui for two years, but I've watched him for three years, and I don't feel more sorry for my own students than you! I'm so bloodless? Yes, your test scores are very important, because it's what you do to the school, your parents, and even those who don't know you, I don't know the proof of your strengths. But I also like your self-esteem. When someone says that the students of the No. 1 key high school in the city's No. 1 high school affiliated with Normal University have stunted limbs and lack of work, I can't tell you. Get angry? Can I not be angry? But you told me yourself that you went to the 16th High School for a basketball match before the final exam. You were very positive and energetic, but what should you do if you were injured? The teacher or an impartial third party will judge for you. If someone else bruises you like they bruised Han Rui on the Xinmiao Cup, you are sure that you will not be impulsive! Are you sure that you will not go up to fight them? Injured, or depressed because of the loss, what should I do if I didn't do well in the final exam?"

Director Zhang's questioning made everyone bow their heads.

"Lu Ran, I know you've always been very thoughtful. Okay, this time, you can say what you think! You're the first in the grade, maybe you think it's just your own business to get good grades, but other classmates see it With you, you are the role model for the entire grade!"

Lu Ran turned his face to look at Jiang Nuan.

Jiang Nuan immediately understood what he was thinking.

She stretched out her hand, they all stood, and Director Zhang looked at her again. Although she really wanted to hold Lu Ran's hand, she wanted to tell him that it wasn't his fault that he was hit by a basketball or broke his knee, but she Knowing that Lu Ran felt guilty.

So Jiang Nuan just touched Lu Ran's index finger lightly with his index finger.

"I really did something wrong. When Cao Lilai asked me if I wanted to go to the basketball game, I should persuade him to schedule the basketball game after the final exam, prepare carefully, and ask the referees of the sports school to help Also, the whole game should be in order, and it should be fair whether you win or lose. Only fairness can keep the students rational and avoid hurtful incidents to the greatest extent possible." Lu Ran said every word clearly.

Director Zhang was stunned. He didn't expect that Lu Ran didn't refute him like the previous comic book incident.

And Cao Li and other students in the class looked at Lu Ran with different eyes.

In their impression, Lu Ran was arrogant and would never be wrong, so he would never admit that he "did something wrong".

He still had a tall and straight back without any hesitation, but it was such a back figure that was inexplicably persuasive.

After a long time, Director Zhang nodded.

The atmosphere that seemed to be confronting between the students and Director Zhang then eased, and Director Zhang's voice was no longer as low as before.

"Actually, when our teacher went to the basketball court, he didn't want to catch you to play basketball at all. Playing basketball is better than indulging in games in an Internet cafe? It's better than some classmates holding comic books one after another, and there are so many over there. The simulation volume is not finished, okay? We go to the basketball court because we want to make sure that your so-called 'duel' is more than basketball, and will not turn into a 'fight'! If you are really not allowed to play basketball, we can wait until You are finished? When you scored, our teacher was applauding outside! For example, He Zheng, you shot the basket very accurately! For example, Li Tietou, you also scored several points for layups! And Lu Ran, The passing and dribbling are very beautiful! The last dunk is very handsome, and Teacher Nie is whistling by my side!"

As soon as Director Zhang finished speaking, many students couldn't help but laugh.

"But who knows, teachers are fiercer than tigers. When you look back and find out that some of our teachers are here, you are so frightened that you run away! What are you running for? What really makes me angry is not just that you didn't report the teacher and just got along with each other. The students from other schools met to play basketball before the final exam, but none of you came to the teacher to admit it. What did you do? They all ran away! Who was left? Cao Li, who was injured, and you The class leader, a girl-Lin Mixia! I'm angry because you didn't take responsibility! You have the courage to do but not the courage to admit it!"

This time, no one laughed, and everyone bowed their heads in shame.

"Take 10,000 steps back, today, the director of the teaching department, regards the admission rate as the lifeblood, which means that you can't do anything other than study, but how can you let Cao Li and Lin Mixia take everything for you? I Going to so many classes to catch you basketball players, I just want to know that one night has passed, can any of you stand up and admit it! I was very disappointed, but when all of you stood up, I'm finally relieved! What I'm relieved is not that when one of you really does something wrong, everyone will help him carry it, but when you feel that you have done nothing wrong, you can stand like today Stand up for each other, not shirk your responsibilities. That's it."

After speaking, the bell for the first class rang.

It was like being awakened from a big dream.

Director Zhang stood up: "Okay! Class! If any of you don't take the final exam seriously, I will let him write a review and read it at the morning meeting!"

When Director Zhang left, everyone hurriedly pulled out their chairs and sat down.

"Oh my god, I scared the baby to death, I thought it was really dead this time!" He Zheng patted his chest.

"Probably Director Zhang was also moved by our fighting spirit! That's why we didn't hold us accountable this time!"

"Don't you think Director Zhang has changed? If he knew what extracurricular activities we were doing before, he would definitely say that we are not doing our jobs properly?"

"Didn't you hear what Director Zhang said? You didn't pass the final exam, so you still have to read the review at the morning meeting!" Li Tietou said.

At this time, Lu Ran turned around and said, "Director Zhang said 'don't take it seriously', not to get high marks in the test."

Rao Can jokingly said to Jiang Nuan: "You can, except for the few of them who play basketball, you are the first to stand up. I was afraid that Director Zhang was scared to death, but you can still withstand the pressure at critical moments! "

"Of course!"

Jiang Nuan just wanted to pat his chest when he suddenly realized that under the table, his hand was being held.

tight.

That was Lu Ran.

Jiang Nuan was silent, she looked at Lu Ran, the other's expression didn't seem to be as tense as when facing Director Zhang, but he still cared that she was injured.

"Although you said that what you did was wrong, your wrong, in my opinion, was great luck."
