Happy times are always short-lived.
After watching the movie, it was basically announced that Zhu Yan and Li Shuyan's weekend life was over, and when they returned to school on Monday, they had to face the monthly exam once a month.
Zhu Yan, a high school student at Tiandu No. 2 High School, has an ordinary appearance, ordinary grades, ordinary family background, and even a fairly ordinary name.
So far, perhaps the only thing that is unusual about this teenager is the heroic dream he has always cherished since he was a child.
Although he is only sixteen years old, ten years ago, he may have been hooked on all kinds of superheroes when he was still in kindergarten.
At that time, Huaxia did not have the American comic craze that it has set off today, and people's memories of superheroes still stayed on characters familiar with Spider-Man and Superman due to imported films, and Xiao Zhuyan at that time had become one of the first holders of genuine American comic collections in China.
It can be said that Zhu Yan's childhood was spent in the company of various American comic superheroes.
So much so that in the first grade of primary school, when the teacher asked that very classic question about what you want to be when you grow up, Zhu Yan was able to proudly tell his dream of becoming a superhero who fights crime and implements justice under the gaze of all the students in the class.
Even at the beginning of the story, Xiao Zhuyan naively believed that there really were superheroes in this world who were chivalrous and righteous everywhere, they maintained the peace of the planet, fought against the injustice of this society, they were the embodiment of justice, and they could do anything.
Xiao Zhuyan even looked forward to the day when he would be hit by a thousand strange adventures in the comics, such as being bitten by a spider, being struck by lightning, being injected with a serum or buying a lottery ticket to win 50 billion or something, and spend money to make a set of equipment by himself.
But what is obvious is that in the sixteen years that Zhu Yan has played the role of a human being, he does not seem to be favored by the god of fate, he has not encountered any great good things, nor has he encountered setbacks enough to destroy his life, and the journey of life is as smooth as a highway without any wrinkles, at most he has crossed a few buffer zones that are better than nothing in front of the traffic lights passing through the town, which Zhu Yan named the twists and turns of growth.
Zhu Yan's first "ups and downs" was probably when he was in the third grade of elementary school.
He still remembers that it was a sunny afternoon, and he was swaggering around the campus with a Captain America figure imported from abroad at a high price, which was specially prepared by his father for his birthday.
It was also that sunny afternoon, his Captain America figure was snatched away by the senior students of the same school before he stayed in his hands for more than two hours, even if he tried his best to keep his birthday gift, but the gap between strength and numbers made him have no chance to win, and the joy of his birthday turned into endless despair.
It was from that day that Zhu Yan really realized that there were no superheroes in real life.
This planet has never been peaceful, this society has always been unfair, ordinary people are not qualified to speak for justice, and what they can do is really limited.
Zhu Yan, who once wanted to be a hero, gradually accepted his ordinariness and ordinariness, even if the dream in his heart was not extinguished, but at least he would no longer openly talk to others about his desire to become a superhero.
Maybe every adult in reality has such reluctance and labor pains when giving up dreams, and that feeling is so heartbreaking and unwilling, but we can't control our emotions and make things better, and then many years later, we may look at the little achievements we have made in the world, and then touch the scars left by the renunciation, and whitewash this cowardly behavior that separates the once young and innocent heart from ourselves, and it is called "reconciliation with life".
Because Zhu Yan's dream is too detached from reality and unreliable, so in the teenage years of his life, when a human being should have just sprouted some slightly reliable dreams, he quietly reconciled with life.
Just today, Zhu Yanyue, who has reconciled with life, announced the results of the exam, I don't know if it's because he didn't review much, his grades have regressed a lot compared to the last time, especially physics, which has hit a new low score in history, and when he thinks of the criticism and education that his parents will inevitably carry out on him when he goes home, he is already as big as a fight.
"How did you do in the exam this time" On the way out of school, Zhu Yan glanced at Li Shuyan, who was wearing glasses and holding a book in one hand.
"I'm quite happy with myself anyway."
Li Shuyan didn't raise his head, and replied lightly: "The third in the grade, one place younger than last time." ” Zhu Yan rolled his eyes: "Shouldn't the standard answer of your top students be average?"
"I don't think that this kind of modesty and clumsiness, which obviously bears the hallmarks of Chinese culture, can bring only decency to students who do not study well, but is more like a condescending pity and insult."
Li Shuyan shrugged: "You have to admit that in this world, there are people with good grades and some people with poor grades."
"I didn't admit it.
It's just that I happen to be the one with the bad grades.
Zhu Yan darkened his face and complained: "This experience can't be considered too good." ” The two walked and walked to the door of an Internet café.
This area is almost a gathering place for Internet cafes, although minors are explicitly not allowed to access the Internet in Internet cafes, but there will be supply if there is demand, and black Internet cafes that do not require ID cards can also grow savagely here, but it provides a lot of convenience for students in the nearby middle and high schools.
Both of them have computers at home, so naturally there is no need to come here to surf the Internet, it is just a necessary way to go to and from school.
However, their luck did not seem to be good today, and before they passed through this Internet café area, they were surrounded by four tall young people.
Zhu Yan is 1.7 meters tall, and he is already tall in the first year of high school, but the four young people in front of him are conservatively estimated to be above 1.75 meters, he looked up and quickly recognized the yellow hair in the lead.
This Huang Mao is a well-known gangster in their school, and he is in his third year of high school this year, but he has almost lost the idea of being admitted to college, so he has nothing to do with his younger brothers all day long, and he has done a lot of extortion and extortion on weekdays, and Zhu Yan alone has been falsely accused by him more than once.
"Yo, isn't this Xiao Zhu" Huang Mao held a cigarette that was slowly burning in his mouth, and looked Zhu Yan and Li Shuyan up and down with malicious intentions.
Zhu Yan secretly shouted bad luck in his heart, he didn't count that these gangsters came back to this area to surf the Internet, and he knew that he would take a long detour home.
But the matter has come to this, I'm afraid it's impossible to get out like this, and it's a blessing to think about it, and it's not a disaster to go alone, and I can't imagine that on the way home, my wallet will have to bleed again
