Chapter 1: Youth
"Suppose the domain of function f(x) is [0, 1], then what is the domain of function f(x)?"
Bai Yang looked at the characters on the test paper, his eyes widened.
What is domain of definition?
What do these letters mean?
Did I really learn these things when I was in high school?
He scratched his hair, put down the pen in his hand, and raised his head.
The chalk dust in the air is clearly visible in the late summer sunshine, and the sound of rustling writing echoes in the ears. In the bright colors, there are young back figures who are answering questions at their desks.
Bai Yang is no stranger to the scene in front of him. It will appear in the short videos about youth that he occasionally views. It will appear in the memories that flash through while drinking with old friends. It will also appear in the memories that he cannot remember the next day. in dreams.
But he never thought he would be in it again.
I am seventeen years old and in the classroom at the beginning of my second year of high school.
The reason cannot be traced, maybe the luck he accumulated in his previous life has been spent on this moment. Bai Yang only knows that he is reborn.
Break free from the body of a shackles and tired middle-aged man, swim upstream, and return to the sunny era.
The bible-like math test paper in front of him could not affect Bai Yang's mood at all. He secretly took out his mobile phone again - it was no longer Huawei's latest large-screen smartphone, but a compact Nokia with physical buttons.
The time above shows: September 1, 2011.
Countless thoughts came to mind.
Bitcoin is only a few dollars apiece, the growth in housing prices is far from reaching its peak, Maotai stocks are very cheap, smartphones have just begun to become popular, the mobile game market is still dominated by Temple Run, and the 2014 World Cup champion is Germany——
In Baiyang's eyes, the information coming from the downstream of the long river of time is like the once distant stars suddenly surrounding him. Picking one off at random is an opportunity that ordinary people will never be able to reach.
This is the advantage of the reborn.
There is no doubt that I can easily earn money that I could not earn even with all my efforts in my previous life, and live the life I once dreamed of.
Dreaming
Bai Yang was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed.
Even if you are reborn, you still can't change the inertia of your previous life. You always consider money first in everything. However, before being flattened by life, what people really dream of may be those things that money cannot buy.
Bai Yang was suddenly poked on the side, and he heard a nervous voice coming from his ears.
"Why are you laughing? Laoban is staring at you!"
Bai Yang looked at the podium and met a pair of sharp eyes.
The other party's stubborn, smooth head barely covered by a few strands of deliberately long hair evoked the face that was already blurry in the memory. This was the head teacher of the science class after the second year of high school.
He has a strong aura and fierce eyes. If he looks at each other twice, he will probably throw the chalk in his direction.
Bai Yang decided to avoid the edge for the time being.
So he turned to look at the boy beside him who reminded him.
He has thick eyebrows, a big nose, and his eyes are darting restlessly, but his body is trying hard to pretend to be serious about answering questions.
"Li Yang?"
Although this face is much greener than he remembered, Bai Yang is very familiar with it. A few days before his rebirth, he was still video chatting with the other party on WeChat, using their respective bad things to drink, and got himself drunk.
"Stop talking! I don't want to be punished on the first day of my class!"
Li Yang ended the topic directly. At this age, the authority of teachers is enough to suppress most of the restlessness of teenagers.
So Bai Yang also became quiet and silently inspected the classroom and the faces that were too young for him.
Bai Yang is not a person with a good memory. After graduating from high school, most of the people in the classroom have never met again. Therefore, after more than ten years, most of the people he saw were only strangers. Whether it was their name or their appearance, he could not remember it. .
Life is like this, people you pass by cannot even leave any traces in your memory.
He couldn't finish the math test paper anymore. When the bell rang, Bai Yang hastily filled in the multiple choice questions to show respect for the first test paper since his rebirth.
"It's finally over!"
Li Yang next to him breathed a long sigh of relief, and his whole body suddenly became elated, "How can there be such a perverted class teacher? Taking the exam directly on the first day of school?"
"Although I only took the test of mathematics, physics and chemistry, I already have a premonition that the next two years will be dire!"
Bai Yang smiled and said nothing.
"Can you still laugh?" Li Yang glanced at him, "I saw that you almost got a blank in math. This is not your style. Is it because of that incident?"
Bai Yang raised his eyebrows: "What is it?"
"Don't pretend." Li Yang shook his head: "I heard it this morning. Xiao Zhenzhen made an appointment with you at the track and field field in the evening."
"Damn it, it's only been one summer vacation and you're actually going to be single!"
Bai Yang was stunned.
Xiao Zhenzhen. A name that has been around for a long time. Memories came up like a tide, and pictures flashed in front of my eyes frame by frame.
No boy would forget his first love, and Bai Yang's first love was Xiao Zhenzhen.
Even this first love only lasted for one day.
Xiao Zhenzhen was Bai Yang's junior high school classmate, and they were admitted to Xiangdong County No. 1 Middle School together. She had a cute and innocent face that was very suitable for her age, and she also had a mind that was very inappropriate for her age. It was not until a long time later that Bai Yang could say it in a conversation. Evaluation of her at this time.
Childish face and big breasts.
There is no doubt that young Bai Yang likes this type.
It was okay in junior high school, but in high school, Bai Yang felt the secret love for the first time. Unfortunately, Xiao Zhenzhen had a boyfriend in her freshman year of high school, and the secret love could only be hidden in her heart. It wasn't until the beginning of her second year of high school, when she heard that she and her boyfriend broke up during the summer vacation, that Bai Yang Dare to muster the courage to confess——
Bai Yang clearly remembered this day. On the first night of the second year of high school, he and Xiao Zhenzhen were walking on the track and field. The other party finally shyly agreed to his confession. He held a girl's hand for the first time and was beaten for the first time.
By Xiao Zhenzhen’s ex-boyfriend.
How could he cope with such a thing when he was young at that time? He didn't dare to resist and could only bear it silently. So the next day, Xiao Zhenzhen proposed to break up.
Even though she didn't say it explicitly, Bai Yang knew that she didn't like boys who were too honest.
Bai Yang used to be that honest boy. He was afraid that the school would find out about his fight, that his family would be worried, and that his future would be affected. He could only turn his anger into the motivation to study, believing that studying was the only way to get out of this environment, so what happened next Bai Yang spent nearly two years forgetting to eat and sleep, and finally passed the exam.
An ordinary provincial book is already very good for a county school. At least, Bai Yang heard that the boy didn't even pass the junior college entrance examination and later became a car mechanic. Even before he was reborn, the other boy was limited to gasoline and parts. among.
However, there are no such plots in the world where years of hard work can change one's life against the odds. At least this kind of thing did not happen to Bai Yang. After graduating from high school, Bai Yang never saw Xiao Zhenzhen and her again. ’s ex-boyfriend, and his life is far from high-spirited.
A college degree is still too common for society as a whole. After graduating from college, he encountered obstacles in the workplace one after another, so he, like many young people, did not want to study anymore.
Instead of continuing to face his boss's face, it is better to work for himself, leave the workplace, and strive to be the master of his own life. In almost ten years, he has learned many skills, walked many roads, opened a tavern, and worked in short-term jobs. Videos, live broadcasts, and even street portraits
Wandering around, in my thirties, relying on so many years of experience, I made a living by writing articles.
Not to mention reading a thousand sails, at least I have experienced everything I should have experienced, and the responsibilities I should shoulder have been shouldered. Looking back at the choices I made when I was a teenager, I just feel childish, but I can't do it again. The name Xiao Zhenzhen has become Bai Yang occasionally mentioned self-deprecation when drunk.
"Why are you dazed?"
Li Yang patted Bai Yang's shoulder heavily: "We have nearly an hour and a half for lunch break. Come on, let's go to the Internet cafe to browse some pictures?"
The boy's attention changed quickly. Compared to Xiao Zhenzhen's gossip, Li Yang was more concerned about the games in the Internet cafe.
"No." Bai Yang shook his head, "I'll just wander around."
"What's going to get better?" Li Yang muttered: "Forget it, I'm a big gun anyway, I can do it alone. When I get a higher level and change the map, don't ask me to take you."
He happily ran out of the classroom, and most of the others dispersed.
In the second year of high school, liberal arts and sciences, this newly formed science class is a new class for most people. Naturally, no one came to chat with Bai Yang. Bai Yang was also happy and walked out of the classroom and looked at the door number.
Class 499.
Xiangdong No. 1 Middle School is the best high school in Xiangdong County. It is also a century-old school. From the beginning of the school's establishment, Class 1 has accumulated to nearly 500 classes. In Baiyang's previous life, due to the expansion of enrollment, I heard that There are already more than 600 class numbers for freshmen.
The teaching building is in a quadrangle-like layout with six floors. The corridors are in a square shape and connect all four sides of the first floor. The sunlight shines generously from the patio, and many students are running circles in the corridors to catch up.
In the prime of youth.
Bai Yang sighed nostalgically, but laughed again. He unconsciously had the mentality of going back to school again in middle age, but in fact, he was one of these teenagers.
He's not quite used to it yet.
When we got to the cafeteria, we were even more unaccustomed to it. I searched my pockets and only found more than thirty yuan.
I haven't been this poor for a long time.
Fortunately, the food in the cafeteria is also cheap. Vegetarian dishes cost one yuan, meat dishes two yuan, and rice 40 cents. You can add whatever you want.
Bai Yang was extravagant, with one meat and two vegetables. His young body had a really big appetite, and he had to pack the rice into a pile. While eating, he was thinking about his future plans.
Learning is definitely necessary, but Bai Yang is self-aware. High school in his previous life was probably his peak. If he had to do it over again, even with an adult's thinking, he may not be able to surpass his previous achievements. What's more, judging from the math test paper just now, Look, my starting point is probably lower than in my previous life——
Not only did I forget everything I learned in high school, but I also couldn’t remember much of what I learned in junior high school.
The only thing I can learn about is Chinese. After all, I made a living by writing articles in my previous life.
“It’s a bit of a waste to spend all your time studying in high school.”
Doing it over again is not about doing what you have done before.
Academic qualifications are very important, but for the reborn, the road to academic qualifications is no longer just a single-plank bridge crossing with thousands of troops. More than ten years of accumulation has given Bai Yang enough confidence to find another way.
And on that road, there is enough time for Baiyang to slowly appreciate the scenery along the way.
