The last physics exam ended at four o'clock in the afternoon, and the students who were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief returned to the classroom one after another, bringing back all the books placed in the corridor, and a few people were discussing the answers from time to time.

No matter how well they did in the exam, the students always let go of one important matter, except for Shen Lan and He Chen who were standing in the office of the English team.

At the desk next to the door, Lin Ting looked at the two big boys standing in front of her, and felt her blood pressure keep rising.

She never expected that the two students with the best grades in the class could skip the English test one after the other, and even let Song Mian come to cover them?!

boom!

The tea cup made a dull sound when it was slapped on the table. Lin Ting took a deep breath, suppressed her anger and asked in a cold voice, "You two, tell me what's going on?"

"Sister Ting, don't do He Chen's business, he didn't take the English test because he asked me."

Before He Chen could speak, Shen Lan spoke first and took all the responsibility on herself: "It's all my fault, if you want to punish me, punish me. He Chen is at most an accomplice!"

"No, Shen Lan is only talking about objective factors, and I have indeed played my subjective initiative."

"What a ghost." Listening to He Chen's words, Shen Lan hurriedly bumped into He Chen's arm, lowered her voice and gritted her teeth, "You kid, don't understand good words? Can't tell I'm helping you!"

"I know."

He Chen hooked Shen Lan's fingers in response, but he still insisted on what he said just now: "Sister Ting, I will bear my own mistakes."

"Okay, okay, you two are still here to give me a big deal? Deep feelings are not for you to use in this kind of place!"

"Before the mid-term exam, I repeatedly emphasized that this is your first final exam after the division of subjects. Ranking is very important for your future study orientation. Why, have you ignored my words? One ear goes in and the other goes out?"

"How dare you skip the exam for me? If this continues, are you two going to turn against each other?!"

Sentence after sentence of reprimands kept coming to the ears of the two of them. Lin Ting watched the two of them remain silent, only feeling that the cluster of small flames in her heart was burning slowly.

However, the family situation of these two people is quite special, and they can't be treated in the usual way of calling them parents. This tone can't be raised or lowered, and it's uncomfortable to hold it in the chest.

"In short, the behavior of the two of you this time is very bad, and you must deeply realize this mistake!"

"From now on, everyone will go back and write a 3,000-word self-criticism, which will be read in public at the class meeting next week, no perfunctory!"

"Three thousand, isn't it too..."

"Too little?" Lin Ting showed a very cooperative smile, "Why don't you add another three thousand?"

"No, no, no need," upon hearing the addition of three thousand words, Shen Lan quickly waved her hands and said with a serious expression, "Sister Ting, don't worry, the three-thousand-word review must be completed seriously!"

"Don't be in a hurry, and one more thing," Lin Ting turned around and took out a set of test papers from her desk and handed them to Shen Lan, "Here are the English papers for today's midterm exam. Each teacher has a copy. I haven't done mine yet.You two take the blank rolls and go to the copy room to make copies."

"Before the evening self-study in the third quarter tonight, I want to see your finished papers appearing on my desk intact, otherwise it will be a crime!"

"Do you understand everything?"

"Understood, promise to complete the task!"

"Young poor, hurry up, don't stand here in my eyes, I will get angry when I see you!"

"Alright, goodbye, sister Ting!"

As soon as the words fell, Shen Lan took He Chen's hand and ran out of the office, disappearing in no time.

Although the midterm exam is more important, it is only an episode in the learning process for students, and they will return to normal study life after the end.

It was rare that no teacher came to the class in the first and second self-study at night. The students were all making up for the shortcomings based on the problems encountered in this exam. Only Shen Lan and He Chen were racking their brains for the 3,000-word self-criticism.

Shen Lan bit her pen cap and stared at the line manuscript paper for half an hour, only able to write less than 200 words in total, while He Chen next to her seemed to have a spring of writing, writing eloquently, seeing that a piece of paper was almost full of preparations.Turned the page.

"Hey," Shen Lan poked He Chen's arm, and said in a low voice, "Today in the office, I already said it was my problem, why do you insist on meddling?"

"You said, if I'm the only one who writes the review, don't I only need to write 3,000 words? When the time comes, we will share it equally, and each person will have 1,500 words.?”

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, He Chen's pen stopped suddenly, "So, you said that to Sister Ting today, just to avoid writing a review?"

"Ah, why not?"

"You don't know how difficult it is to write this review. I have never been so tormented in writing a Chinese composition. It also requires true feelings and can't be perfunctory. God, kill me!"

He Chen: ...

He shook his head with a sigh, hiding the inexplicable emotions in his eyes, and tapped the back of his hand with the cap of his pen: "Did you finish your English paper?"

"It's half written," Shen Lan poked the table with the tip of her pen, wishing to poke a hole, "There is still a small composition and a continuation, I plan to compile it in the second class, at least make up enough words first.”

"You write English." He Chen stretched out his hand and brought over the self-criticism with the beginning written on Shen Lan's desk, "I will write the self-criticism for you, don't worry about it."

As he said that, He Chen raised his hand and rubbed Shen Lan's hairy head with a bit of comfort and indulgence.

"Really?!" Hearing this, Shen Lan's eyes lit up instantly, "Thank you, God He!"

"I'll copy it again when you finish writing it, and then you'll be done!"

"Be quiet," He Chen glanced at the teacher sitting on the podium out of the corner of his eye, "I'll give it to you tomorrow night."

"Nothing is urgent, anyway, there are still two or three days before the next week's class meeting."

Shen Lan reached into the table hole, took out something from her backpack and handed it to He Chen.

"Thank you, it's a reward for your kindness and assistance."

The sound of plastic paper rubbing against his skin reached He Chen's ears. He looked down at his palm, and there was a Q-version anime Band-Aid neatly lying in his hand, and there was a piece of grape-flavored inflatable fudge beside him.

He Chen tore off the candy wrapper and put the fudge into his mouth. The aroma of grapes mixed with the sweetness of milk diffused in his mouth.

Mmm, sweet.

After the social criticism of public speeches in the class meeting and the fearful grade-level parent meeting, the turmoil of the midterm exam finally ended, and the students once again returned to a tense and orderly learning atmosphere.

Shen Lan's mother, Miao Fangni, stayed in the north city for a total of a week, during which she never gave Shen Lan too many eyes, only after knowing his test results, before leaving, she forced someone to hold her in the study.I memorized the prepared materials all night.

But even if Shen Lan did memorize it, Miao Fangni didn't have any fluctuations in her eyes, she just gave him a cold look, and then left the main house with her backpack.

All Lego and skateboards were destroyed, and Shen Lan had to start all over again, searching for relevant skateboard accessories bit by bit.

However, due to the limited quantity of some items, it was almost difficult to complete them. Shen Lan asked several friends but failed to find them, so he had to temporarily put them on hold.

In order to save more time, Shen Lan brought Shen Jiamiao back to the Dijing Garden. The two siblings who hadn't slept well for a week finally returned to their comfort zone. Sitting on the sofa, they felt that the surrounding air was divided.Fresh outside.

In the compact life and study, time passed unconsciously, and soon came the three-day holiday on New Year's Day.

Song Mian ran into the classroom trembling with the hot water he had just returned, his nose and earlobes were red from the cold.

"My God, it snowed yesterday, and it's getting colder outside. If it wasn't for getting hot water, I wouldn't even want to go out."

"Well, who told you to wear so few clothes?" Shen Lan glanced at Song Mian up and down, "Since I'm sitting next to the heater, I don't wear a thick coat. If you don't go out, whoever is cold?"

"Look at our brother Chen, the standard sweater and thick coat, this is the equipment you should have in winter."

"Yes, yes, brother Chen's clothes are the warmest, but brother Chen, don't talk about me, Brother Chen borrowed you the scarf around your neck, otherwise you would wear less clothes than me."

"What's wrong with borrowing it? My deskmate is willing to lend it to me, isn't it He Chen?"

"Well," He Chen nodded upon hearing Shen Lan's words, and at the same time raised his hand to fasten the loose scarf for Shen Lan, "It's easy to catch cold."

"Hey, did you hear that?" Shen Lan poked Song Mian and said proudly, "This is my real brother, unlike you, he doesn't even want to give me hot water."

"I know that the two great gods have a good relationship." Song Mian glanced at He Chen and said casually, "Brother Chen, don't you think that Brother Chen has a bit of a double standard?"

"Double standards, is there? Our brother Chen has always been so approachable, why, are you jealous?"

"How can it be, brother Shen, just do it if you think it's good."

For the word "approachable and approachable", Song Mian really didn't dare to compliment him, but he had some other guesses in his heart.

"The New Year's Day holiday will be in two days, where shall we go this time?"

"It's still the same, game hall, script killing, escape room, choose one of the three classics."

"Don't worry, it's so boring. We've been playing for several years. Let's change the place to play this year. I heard that a haunted house opened in the east of the city recently. It's very exciting. When the time comes, we'll call Wan Ke and Zhao Wenjia, and we'll bring them with us."Brother Chen, the five of us will go together."

"Pfft...cough cough cough, haunted house?!"

Shen Lan quickly put down the water glass, and subconsciously glanced at He Chen. Even though that look was only fleeting, He Chen still keenly caught the panic in it.

Could it be that the little hedgehog is afraid of ghosts?

This realization made He Chen raise his eyebrows unconsciously, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"That's right. I see that the online reviews are quite good, and they all say it's worth a try. Anyway, it's not suitable for strolling outdoors in this winter. Why don't you go to a haunted house."

"Ah, uh, what, cough, I don't have any objections, isn't it just a haunted house, just play with it, I just don't know if other people can accept it."

"Damn, if that boy Wan Ke hadn't been brought home by his father, he would have gone there last week. I asked Zhao Wenjia, and he said there was no problem."

"Oh, that's it." Shen Lan took a sip of water tactically, and his erratic eyes fell on He Chen, "Isn't there still He Chen? According to his personality, he definitely doesn't want to go to a place like a haunted house...."

"I agree."

Before Shen Lan finished speaking, He Chen's answer made him swallow the second half of the sentence abruptly.

He turned his head stiffly and looked at He Chen. If his eyes could be visualized, he would have already cut He Chen to pieces by now.

However, the person involved was ignorant of this. He Chen turned his head to meet Shen Lan's eyes that were about to get angry, and said with a puzzled expression: "What's the matter? Could it be that our brother Shen is afraid of ghosts?"

"Just kidding, how is it possible!" Shen Lan took a deep breath, gritted her teeth and said, "Then go to the haunted house, that's it."

Hearing Shen Lan's agreement, Song Mian subconsciously looked at He Chen beside him, and indeed saw the flashing smile at the corner of his mouth.

The author has something to say:

The second one is here!
