Chapter Ten One Day and Night

  (ps: Today's first update was sent out at dawn, this is a good time, seeking recommendations.)

  "Ding ding ding~"

  Another day flew by in a hurry, and when the evening self-study bell rang, the classroom was once again filled with a chaotic mixture of laughter and chatter. Many students stood up to chat or leave immediately as soon as the bell rang.

  In the last row of the classroom, Guo Zhengyang also closed his textbook and stood up.

  "Lao Guo, I'm impressed, you actually studied for a whole day, aren't you tired?"

  Zhang Hang, who sat at the same table, also stood up, but when he collected his textbook, he looked at Guo Zhengyang with a surprised expression. From early morning study to now, he had been with him all along, so naturally he knew what Guo Zhengyang was doing today. He was fully engaged in studying, listening attentively during class and diligently self-studying during the self-study session, almost never losing focus from start to finish.

  His attitude also made him somewhat stunned, and even occasionally infected halfway through, he picked up the book and read it seriously for a while, but after reading for a while, he gave up again with nothing to do, because he really couldn't hold on.

  This guy on the side has a really strong sense of striving upwards.

  "It's okay, let's go."

  Guo Zhengyang smiled and patted Zhang Hang's shoulder before speaking.

  He studied for a day, but the gain was still not worth it. His physical strength increased by more than tenfold, and after a day of serious study, his body didn't feel even slightly fatigued, but this purely mental labor brought little gain to Guo Zhengyang. After all, until the middle stage of gathering spirit, the spiritual energy absorbed into the body would catalyze the brain and stimulate the spiritual sea; before that, it was just a change in the shape of his limbs.

  After studying for a day, he's not tired at all and is even preparing to continue reading through the night. However, now he wants to go out for a walk, relax a bit, as his body isn't tired but his brain is. It's true that he needs to clear his mind.

  Walking out of the classroom with Zhang Hang, the two were chatting and laughing all the way, although most of the time it was Zhang Hang who was talking and laughing, while Guo Zhengyang's words were relatively few. However, Zhang Hang didn't mind. After leaving the teaching building and arriving at the toilet, Guo Zhengyang's actions made Zhang Hang extremely surprised, staring blankly at Guo Zhengyang who had taken out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it in the corner of the toilet. Zhang Hang was speechless and almost stunned.

  "Wait a bit, you go back to the dormitory, I'm not sleepy yet, and then go back to the classroom to read for a while." In his previous life, Guo Zhengyang had a strong addiction to smoking and drinking. Later, due to the continuous improvement of his physical quality, smoking and drinking gradually became tasteless, smoking was like sucking paper, and drinking was like plain water. Those things were naturally quit without even thinking about quitting.

  Reliving once, suddenly coming into contact with this familiar taste, indeed made him quite nostalgic. This pack of cigarettes was what he bought when he entered the hotel and swallowed the Wind Flower Pill. At that time, before swallowing the pill, Guo Zhengyang had continuously smoked half a pack, savoring it for a long, long time.

  Unfortunately, his physical strength has increased a lot now, and after just two days of smoking again, the taste of cigarettes has already faded a lot. Compared to the familiar taste of two or three days ago, it's already faint enough to make him shake his head slightly. Fortunately, this aftertaste is still enough to excite him.

  Standing in the toilet and smoking two cigarettes, Guo Zhengyang returned to the teaching building under Zhang Hang's shocked gaze.

  At this moment, the teaching building is still shining brightly. Most of the lights in the first and second years of high school have been turned off, but in the third year's battlefield, they are basically all on.

  As he walked to the front of the classroom, Guo Zhengyang took a glance around and found that there were still seven or eight figures scattered in the room, immersed in their studies. He shook his head slightly, then quietly returned to his seat and continued reading his book.

  Kuang Zhengyang is very engaged in his studies, now he mainly researches English because it's a bit easier, just need to read aloud and recite more, if he changes to math, he can't even think about studying, because he has already forgotten the junior high school lessons, he must listen carefully to the teacher's lectures and ponder to understand a little better.

  When he studied on his own, he would pick up a math textbook and find that 90% of the content was incomprehensible to him.

  He picked up easy-to-learn knowledge in a glance, and Guo Zhengyang was done with it in just a few hours.

  Unconsciously devoted, no matter what noise there was outside, he didn't notice at all.

  It wasn't until a soft cough suddenly sounded in front of him that Guo Zhengyang abruptly lifted his head to look over, and then he saw Wang Dongping quietly looking at him, with an odd gaze in his eyes.

  It's as if I've discovered a new continent.

  After glancing at Wang Dongping, Guo Zhengyang shifted his gaze elsewhere and saw that only the lights in the back row were still on. The classroom was empty except for him and Wang Dongping.

  "It's late, go back and sleep."

  In Guo Zhengyang's watchful eyes, Wang Dongping finally spoke up in a low voice, although he was trying his best to suppress it, the tone of this sentence still carried a clear sense of eeriness.

  Kuang Zhengyang then took out his mobile phone and looked at it, only to find that the time had already passed one o'clock in the morning.

  Yanhe County No. 1 High School's evening self-study session ends at 9:30 PM and lights out is at 10:00 PM.

  Kuang Zhengyang was stunned for a moment before calmly saying, "Nothing's wrong, I'm not tired yet."

  "Learning is not a one-day or half-day thing, go back to sleep, you still have to get up early tomorrow." Wang Dongping spoke again, his voice still very calm.

  Kuang Zhengyang also took a look at the class teacher, "I know."

  His words were equally calm, and he didn't seem to have any tension or anxiety towards Wang Dongping like other students did, just a faint, seemingly emotionless tone.

  King Dongping furrowed his brow slightly at this, but ultimately shook his head and turned to leave.

  But just as Wang Dongping walked out two steps, Guo Zhengyang spoke again, "Teacher Wang, I'm sorry."

  The figure in front of him suddenly stopped and turned around again, staring at Guo Zhengyang with a look of astonishment and confusion. At this moment, the Guo Zhengyang in his line of sight was still lowering his head to read, without even raising his head.

  Wang Dongping was stunned for a moment before turning around and walking out the door.

  Today's events left him, as the class teacher, speechless and even stunned to the point of being dizzy. Normally, around 11 pm, he would rush back to the classroom to urge those students who were still studying to go back and rest, after all, high school students need to ensure a certain amount of sleep no matter how hard they work.

  But today he surprisingly found that there was one more person left in the classroom to study after school, and the extra one was the very one he thought was impossible.

  Will he study hard? The sun rising from the west is more plausible than this.

  But in fact, the student he disliked but had to tolerate was really sitting here studying hard. The other students left at 11 o'clock, but Wang Dongping stayed and watched Guo Zhengyang for nearly two hours. After watching for two hours, seeing that this person had been studying so seriously for such a long time, he still felt unbelievable and suspected that he was dreaming.

  Equally stunning is this inexplicable apology.

  ………

  "Wake up, is it you? Are you sleeping here? What time did you sleep last night?"

  The lights in the teaching building lit up again one after another in the dark night, and Guo Zhengyang, who was sleeping soundly on his desk, was woken up by someone shaking him. The first thing he saw when he woke up was Zhang Hang's strange expression.

  Guo Zhengyang only then sat up straight, pulled out his phone to take a look, 5:10. At this moment, there were not many students in the classroom, and the classroom with more than 90 people had only 30 or 40 silhouettes.

  "I'm going to wash my face." He withdrew his gaze and rubbed his face, only then did Guo Zhengyang stand up again. Last night, he had learned until 4 am, and he couldn't bear the dizziness in his head anymore, so he had to lie down and rest for a while. After nearly twenty hours of hard work, his body wasn't tired at all, but his brain was really dizzy.

  But after washing his face and coming back, Guo Zhengyang started reading again with renewed energy.

  This day and night passed uneventfully, but he felt very fulfilled.
