Jiang Yubai did not allow Lin Zhixia to call him "Mr. Xiao Jiang".

He said that Lin Zhixia's behavior violated the "law of friendly coexistence with deskmates."

He repeatedly stated that mutual respect is the basis for friendly coexistence with deskmates.

Lin Zhixia showed a confused expression: "Does it mean I disrespect you when I call you Mr. Xiao Jiang? Why?"

Jiang Yubai liked to hear Lin Zhixia say "why" - obviously, this meant that Lin Zhixia also wanted to ask him questions. He explained in a neither humble nor condescending manner: "You and I are classmates. You call me Mr. Xiao Jiang, you are

Are you my employee? I have paid you wages? My name is Jiang Yubai, you should call me Jiang Yubai."

Lin Zhixia nodded: "Jiang Yubai."

Jiang Yubai sat up straight and became more steady: "Lin Zhixia."

Lin Zhixia shouted again: "Jiang Yubai!"

Jiang Yubai responded again: "Lin Zhixia."

Lin Zhixia used breath sounds and squeezed out a sound from her throat: "Jiang Yubai..."

Jiang Yubai lowered his voice: "Lin Zhixia..."

Lin Zhixia leaned back and forth, smiling so happily: "Jiang Jiang Jiang Jiang is over white!"

Jiang Yubai said: "Crazy."

"You don't respect me!" Lin Zhixia slapped her down, "You violated the rules of friendly interactions with classmates!"

Jiang Yubai couldn't argue with Lin Zhixia. His ears turned red. He took out his math notebook again and browsed the operations of complex numbers. He looked at the examples line after line, pretending to be immersed in mathematics and unable to hear Lin Zhixia's voice.

The strange thing is that Lin Zhixia really kept silent and remained silent.

She is also reading a book.

Jiang Yubai quietly turned his face. He found that the book in Lin Zhixia's hand was called "Quantum Mechanics of Atomic and Molecular Research". She happened to turn over a page, and the whole page was full of dense formulas. A single formula

The derivation covers half a page of paper.

Lin Zhixia took notes in the book with a pencil. Her notes were also very weird, messy, unorganized, and might not even be in Chinese.

Jiang Yubai asked her: "Are you writing Chinese?"

"This is my own language," Lin Zhixia answered honestly, "Do you want to learn it? Do you want me to teach you? This language is a primary language based on physics. It cannot be used to communicate yet. It is just used to simplify my life.

learning process.”

Homemade language?

What it is?

Jiang Yubai suffered another blow.

In the past, Jiang Yubai firmly believed that he was a smart child. Now, his belief is slightly shaken.

Jiang Yubai clutched a stack of draft paper, his knuckles turning white. He refused calmly: "No need. I don't want to learn. I don't like to simplify the learning process. I like complicated things, you don't understand."

Lin Zhixia was very confused: "Why?"

Finally, Jiang Yubai heard Lin Zhixia ask "why" again.

Jiang Yubai's answer was enigmatic: "If I could solve all your problems, I should be a grown-up."

"Many adults are very strange," Lin Zhixia put up her book and said categorically, "Adults cannot accept that we find that they have made mistakes, which will make them lose face. Face is more important than the truth. I hate this kind of adults."

Jiang Yubai echoed: "There are also many children who will deliberately pretend to be stupid in front of adults."

Lin Zhixia agreed: "That's right! You know it, but you pretend you don't know it. You know you don't know it, but you pretend to know it."

After saying that, she approached Jiang Yubai: "What about you? Jiang Yubai, do you know the subject of physics? Have you studied molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons, and electrons?"

The sky outside the window is clear and the clouds are like cotton wool.

The summer heat was beginning to subside and autumn was getting thicker. On such a beautiful sunny day, Jiang Yubai felt like he had fallen into an ice cave. He didn't want to admit that he knew nothing about physics. He didn't understand where Lin Zhixia learned so many strange things.

Nouns...are they all taught by teachers in schools? Is education in China already so strong?

Jiang Yubai regretted that he wasted three years of precious time in Singapore.

He lowered his head and was silent for a long time.

This class is an English class.

The English teacher is a young female teacher who has just graduated from university. Her surname is Zheng, and her classmates call her "Miss Zheng". Today, Teacher Zheng is going to teach a situational dialogue in the class. The background takes place in the park - with the same theme.

Tables are used as units, and each group selects a pair on the same table to display on the stage.

Teacher Zheng said: "my dear students, today are gonna learn howask for directions and howgive directions."

Then, she explained on her own: "Dear students, today, the teacher will take you to learn how to ask for directions and how to give directions to others. The background of our story takes place in the park. Let me teach you a few sentence patterns first.

, we follow the tape recorder and finish reading this text. I will select a pair of deskmates in each large group and let them show it to the whole class. Don’t doze off in class, and listen carefully to me.

"

Teacher Zheng grabbed the chalk and wrote the sentence pattern on the blackboard.

There are eight frequently tested words and four common sentence patterns in the entire text.

Most of the students in the class were listening attentively to the lecture. Jiang Yubai was absent-minded, and Lin Zhixia looked out the window. She found a sparrow perched on a branch and jumping around. The locust tree was in bloom, and the flowering period had not faded. The sparrows were running among the petals and

Between the gaps in the leaves. She couldn't help but wonder to herself, what is the difference between sparrows, locust trees, and the world I see in my eyes?

Lin Zhixia thought to herself: Yes, I know that the world I see in my eyes is not what the world is like - my eyes can only recognize limited colors, my olfactory cells are not even as good as mice, and my ears can only hear

There are no infrasound waves and ultrasonic waves. However, those things exist objectively. In this vast and boundless universe, my consciousness...

She tilted her head and began to think about "consciousness".

"You're distracted." Jiang Yubai reminded her.

Lin Zhixia nodded: "Yes, I am distracted."

Jiang Yubai immediately asked her: "What are you thinking about again?"

Lin Zhixia lay on the table and suggested: "Close your eyes and I will tell you."

She was very young, had a tender voice, her eyes were as watery as a little rabbit, and her thick eyelashes had cast shadows in her eyes. Her proposal had no deterrent effect, and Jiang Yubai actually chose to obey.

He closed his eyes in this English class and heard Lin Zhixia slowly saying: "Have you ever thought about where you come from? When you close your eyes, can you feel your own identity? I often wonder,

I am me, so who am I? This question has troubled me for a long time, and I don’t understand.”

Jiang Yubai was stunned by her. He could only stammer: "You...are you, different you."

He and Lin Zhixia talked so much that it really attracted Teacher Zheng's attention.

Teacher Zheng wiped her hands with a towel. The nails of her ten fingers were all painted bright pink. She stretched out a finger and pointed towards Jiang Yubai: "Oh? This classmate, you are the new transfer student in our class.

Okay. Just in time, you and your tablemates are coming up to show us how to ask for directions in the park. I saw that you were a little sleepy just now, right?"

No.

Jiang Yubai was not sleepy.

At this moment, he was more awake than ever.

Because, his home court is here.

He stood up steadily, walked in front, and received the attention of the whole class.

Lin Zhixia followed Jiang Yubai and was keenly aware that Jiang Yubai had bad intentions. Because he looked back at her twice, he was more nervous than the soldiers watching on the battlefield, as if he was afraid that she would escape before the battle.

Lin Zhixia was confused about the situation and thought Jiang Yubai didn't speak English well, hoping that she could save him.

Oh, that’s it! Lin Zhixia thought she had found the crux.

Lin Zhixia didn't wait for Jiang Yubai to speak, and came up and asked: "excuse me? Sorry, ia little turned around and could you tell if therean underground station nearby? "

Teacher Zheng translated for everyone: "Hey? Not bad, our classmate Lin Zhixia said a phrase, ia little turned around, which means I am lost. Lin Zhixia said that she was lost and asked Jiang Yubai to tell her if there is anyone nearby

metro station."

Jiang Yubai replied: "You can seeare basically the cornerth going down until you reach the traffic lights and then make a right, you will know where your destination is."

Lin Zhixia laughed and said: "Man minutes ago I walked across the park but I could not find anyoo help me..."

"Okay, okay," Teacher Zheng interrupted, "Why are you two acting like they're acting here? But, classmate Lin Zhixia used a phrase, everyone should pay attention, walk across the park and walk

Through the park both represent a person walking through the park. So, what is the difference between the two prepositions across and through when used in the context of the park? Does any student know?"

Jiang Yubai raised his hand on the spot.

Teacher Zheng agreed: "Jiang Yubai, you say."

Jiang Yubai answered seriously: "We use across as a preposition, which shows that Lin Zhixia went directly through the park without seeing the scenery of the park. Generally, through is more commonly used."

"Yes," Teacher Zheng nodded frequently, "Okay, you go back to your seats."

Jiang Yubai has had one-on-one English teachers since he was four years old. His first teacher was an Englishman. Later, his mother hired three more Americans. The four foreign teachers formed an English teaching and research group specifically for Jiang.

Yubai teaching.

So, how is Jiang Yubai's English learning? He thinks it's average, just like that. The joint education from American and British teachers makes him occasionally confuse the expressions of American English and British English.
