- Chapter 27 - Sugar and Caffeine
After successfully getting the confession wall QQ from Peipei, Shen Yuan immediately dug out the president’s work from his space log.
Then he read it with great interest for the entire evening self-study session.
How to put it, no wonder he can score over 130 in Chinese.
“I feel like I should join the Sugar Lovers Association too.”
Hearing Shen Yuan’s words about excessive sugar, Aze turned around and laughed, “Then next time Ai Muyu is dreaming, you can tease him and give him a taste of sweetness.”
Chen Mingyu threw a punch at Yang Ze: “You’re a newbie!”
Facing Chen Mingyu’s attack, Yang Ze quickly retaliated, and the two soon started childishly clapping.
Seeing this scene, Ajie laughed, “Aze, aren’t you afraid of getting excited by hitting Ai Muyu?” Hearing this
, the expressions on Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu’s faces froze at the same time.
Suddenly, Zhou Shaojie felt a force coming from behind.
It was Shen Yuan’s strongman lock on the man!
“I am innocent! You two are Nantong! You are Nantong!!”
Yang Ze and Chen Mingyu were pulling on A-Jie’s legs with great effort.
As for Shen Yuan, he was beautifully invisible.
If Li Zhi found out he had gone to Aruba again, the Painful Sacrifice would awaken the seeds of pain planted in his heart.
One seed was named Tong Churou, and the other was named Grades.
After evening self-study ended, Shen Yuan, as usual, went to Li Zhi’s seat to wait for the beautiful girl to pack her things.
“Let’s go.”
Li Zhi handed her schoolbag to Shen Yuan and took it from him.
The two walked out of the school in silence. After reaching the main road, Shen Yuan suddenly noticed that Li Zhi was walking quite far from the flower bed.
It was clear that yesterday’s scene had left a significant psychological scar on the beautiful girl.
Thinking of this, Shen Yuan suddenly stepped towards the flower bed.
Sure enough, Li Zhi immediately glanced at him warily.
Shen Yuan chuckled: “Just reacting.”
“Boring.”
The beautiful girl walked quickly towards home.
“Seriously, do you have any math materials over there?”
“Want some of the top student’s mistake notebook?”
Shen Yuan’s lips twitched: “Something simple.”
“Five-Three.”
Here it comes, the artifact of the Painful Sacrifice!
The Book of Pain, “Five-Year College Entrance Examination, Three-Year Simulation”!
Shen Yuan rolled his eyes: “If I could learn well by reading this, would I need to ask you for it?”
Li Zhi lightly scoffed: “You’re quite difficult to please.”
“After all, I’m a knowledge block.”
“No, no, no.”
Just when Shen Yuan thought Li Zhi was about to comfort him, the beautiful girl’s next words almost gave him internal injuries.
“If you try, you can catch up with Gengzi.”
She has some intelligence, but not much.
At least she can understand his name.
After Li Zhi finished speaking, the two fell into silence.
When passing by a night market stall, Li Zhi suddenly said: “You’re not Yu Yu, are you?”
“If you’re willing to treat me to oden, maybe my Yu Yu syndrome will automatically get better.”
Shen Yuan finished speaking and stood in front of the oden stall.
Immediately, Li Zhi stepped over to the stall, muttering to himself, “Do a good deed every day, accumulate good karma.”
Shen Yuan chuckled, “I’ll treat you to some Coca-Cola.”
“Coca-Cola, I like it bubbly.”
“OK.”
After ordering two servings of oden, Shen Yuan went to the convenience store and bought two bottles of Coke.
“Cheers!”
“Cheers!”
The two clinked their oden cups together and began to enjoy their late-night snack.
“Shen Yuan, open my Coke!”
Shen Yuan took the Coke and easily opened the cap.
That’s gentlemanly.
Watching Li Zhi chugging it down, Shen Yuan suddenly remembered what happened during evening self-study and said, “Studying must be tiring.”
“Are you crazy?”
“Just concerned about you.”
Li Zhi looked at Shen Yuan warily: “I hate sudden concern from friends.”
Shen Yuan laughed and picked up his oden: “I’m eating it now, aren’t I?”
The pretty girl laughed too, but quickly, her smile faded.
Li Zhi poked the cup twice with a skewer.
“Tired.”
“Good grades are actually quite tiring, sometimes quite anxious, afraid that the score will drop. You know, sometimes I’m even afraid that I’ll drop below 670.”
Seriously?
Shen Yuan’s smile vanished: “Young Master Li, this isn’t a topic I can discuss.”
“Consider your score dropping below 600.”
Shen Yuan was even more unhappy.
Is there any comparison?
“So that’s why you chose to read ‘Love During the Teacher’s Day’?”
“You need some mental nourishment. Otherwise, what’s the point of working so hard every day? Doing practice problems and reading books every day—if my eyes weren’t so well-protected, I’d be nearsighted by now.”
Shen Yuan looked at Li Zhi’s bright eyes and nodded.
“Anyway, studying is all about exams. As long as you do well, no one will say anything.”
“Actually, sometimes I think, I’ve already done so well, can’t I enjoy myself a bit?” ”
Then why not enjoy yourself?” Shen Yuan asked, puzzled.
Li Zhi smiled brightly: “Because it’ll be fun when I’m cramming you! As long as I pretend to study, you’ll feel the pressure of studying, but in reality, I’m just spacing out.”
Shen Yuan was speechless.
“Sister, you’re really suffering!”
“Hahahaha! Try my skill, Domain Expansion! Sea of Questions Hell! Anyone whose grades are below the class average, from now on, do non-stop practice problems!”
“Ah! I suddenly really want to do problems! Quick! Give me the test paper!”
Looking at Shen Yuan’s exaggerated expression, the beautiful girl smiled happily.
Shen Yuan also came to his own conclusion.
Li Zhi’s sugar intake wasn’t to balance the pain of external suffering, but rather her own academic anguish.
As academic high-achievers, these “painful sacrifices” often create pressure on those around them due to their excellence, bringing academic pressure and simultaneously causing pain.
However, they are essentially anointed with exam-oriented education, perfect products of this system.
Li Zhi is more like a rebel among these painful sacrifices. Unlike the other painful sacrifices in her class, she doesn’t devoutly approach the acquisition of knowledge and the arrival of exams.
While accepting the teachers’ recognition of her grades, Li Zhi is also very clear about the purpose of her education.
Learning isn’t about acquiring knowledge, but simply about passing exams.
Like a normal student, she sleeps in class when she’s tired, does physics homework during Chinese class, and sometimes even skips homework altogether.
Because of Li Zhi’s grades, her teachers often can’t say anything to her.
Li Zhi clearly knows that as a painful sacrifice, her ultimate fate is to become an immortal of the college entrance exam.
Because while the painful sacrifice is almost omniscient about exams, she is also becoming a prisoner of exam immortality.
Li Zhi doesn’t want that.
But the power of individual rebellion is too weak; she can only adapt while finding ways to alleviate her inner pain.
Like sugar.
Just as the iced tea cult’s pursuit of sweetness and tea polyphenols
, or the cola party’s obsession with carbonated drinks, the fundamental core is the same.
All sugar and caffeine are biochemical weapons for teenagers to resist exam-oriented education.
