It was supposed to be a normal morning, but if it was a normal morning, David would wake up at six o 'clock, wash up in ten minutes, eat breakfast in twenty minutes, the driver would take him to school in twenty minutes, he would catch up on his sleep in the car, and finally get to class at seven o 'clock, and spend ten minutes talking to Nada about fifty cents. Time is abundant and content.
This morning, however, was destined to be the beginning of David's miserable future.
It was still dark, the moon had not disappeared, and the light shining through the window showed Nada's beautiful face clearly.
"It's time to get up." Nada said softly.
David was stunned when he woke up. "It's 4:29," Nada said. "You have one minute to stay in bed."
David: "..."
He was still very sleepy and could barely keep his eyes open. "Can you stay here for another five minutes?"
Nada said, "No."
As he said, he looked at his stopwatch, which had its own time function, and commanded in a soft but powerful tone, "It's 4:30, get up, quickly."
David: "..."
He doesn't remember!
David wrapped the small quilt tightly, his mouth scattered a charming: "Good star, let me sleep for another five minutes, five minutes I will get up!"
Nada said, "Is it five minutes after that? "
Nada softened her tone and said: "This kind of thing must persist, once a day does not persist, it will be wasted, I believe that you say that you want to enter Harvard, say that you want to work with me, should not just say it?"
David: "..."
David threw back the covers and got up. "I'll get up. I'll get up now."
Nada turned on the light and pressed the stopwatch in front of David. "Two minutes to brush your teeth and wash your face. Go."
David: "..."
He strode into the bathroom with a broken face.
In the middle of brushing the toothbrush, I heard Nada knocking on the door and calling the time ruthlessly, "There are 30 seconds left, hurry up."
David hastily finished brushing his teeth, gave his face a quick wash, and flung open the door.
Nada pressed the stopwatch and said very gently: "One minute and fifty-three seconds, seven seconds ahead of time, you are great, I believe you have made a big step toward Harvard, now memorize this information, this is the key point of the Chinese exam of the first and second years, combined with the textbook, give you an hour to back to the third page." "
David looked at a large sheet of dense paper, dark before his eyes.
Nada then said, "If you memorize it, you can eat. If you don't, I will starve with you."
Nada said earnestly: "We share the good times and the bad times."
"..." David's face was numb.
Nada said, "Let's start."
He pressed the stopwatch.
*
David was completely depressed. At noon, he was also watched by Nada writing papers and reciting key points.
Denqi came over with a basketball and asked, "Do I play basketball?"
David's eyes lit up and he turned to ask for permission, but Nada beat him to it and said, "He won't fight."
David: "..."
The light in his eyes went out a little bit, and he nodded with a face of vicissitudes, "I don't play, I want to study, I love to study, I want to enter Harvard."
Denqi is scared by the strange atmosphere between the two of them back a few steps, he yells: "Well, then brother you come on."
Then hurriedly ran out of the classroom with several male students.
"Is David serious? He wants to get into Harvard, too?"
"Seriously, that's a black eye."
"He didn't get bad grades, did he?
"I don't know, he has to hand in homework papers, the answer is not to I don't know, the word is pretty good, dragon flying Phoenix dance, look is practiced."
"He is also very good at English, that Yoyo always asks him to answer questions, never miss."
"That must be a good grade."
"There's a test next week. Let's see how he does."
"Never mind that, walk, walk, go play ball."
...
David wrote a few words, stopped, and, without looking away, whispered, "I need to pee."
Nada wrote the paper. At this, she handed him the stopwatch. "Press it yourself and show it to me when you're done."
David's eyes glaze over. "..."
What, he's got two more months of this?
What fun is there to live?
*
At home in the evening, David continued to study.
Jack also came over, and he and Nada had a heated discussion about how to get David to improve 252 points in two months to get into Harvard, and finally reached an agreement on the goal of forcing David to study hard, and ended the friendly meeting.
Jack left, but he left his life's treasure of the textbook, Nada like a treasure, after two hours of reading, the mind is opened up a lot, and how to teach David more confident.
As softly as he could, he said to David, "I can raise you 50 points this week."
David didn't dare ask how. He didn't dare ask.
Nada gave him only ten minutes to eat, and he could not eat as slowly as before for half an hour, this time he quickly finished the dinner in five minutes, and used the remaining five minutes to call Adolf.
As soon as Adolf answered the phone, he heard David's whirling voice, "Dad!"
Adolf: "... What's the matter?"
David looked over his shoulder at Nada. He hadn't finished his meal, but he was staring at his stopwatch. "Dad, I just miss you a little bit."
Adolf wanted to laugh, and the things on his son's side were naturally reported to him by Butler Li in detail, and he could be said to know his son's latest situation like the back of his hand.
I can't help but appreciate Nada more and more. He is also a good boy and smart. If it were his son, he wouldn't have to worry so much.
Adolf pretended not to know, "You will miss me too? You don't want money, do you?"
David almost cried, but he held back. "Dad," he said, "I want to come back and see you. Do you want to see me? If you want, I'll buy a plane ticket for tonight!"
Adolf tried not to laugh, "No, I'm away now, you can't see me even if you go home."
David: "..."
Adolf said, "Well, I put $2 million on your card, you can buy whatever you want, and if you don't have enough, you can use my card."
David then asked expectantly, "Where are you now? If you were closer, I could still buy a plane ticket to see you tonight."
Adolf said, "In Inner Mongolia, will you come?"
David: "..."
He hung up the phone with a numb look on his face, just as Nada came over with a stopwatch and said, "Time is up. Follow me to my room."
David: "..."
He began to miss the old days, are the same control time, at least before he had sex ah!
Now he has nothing but dark circles under his eyes from lack of sleep!!
*
This lasted for several days. It can be said that human beings are indeed the most adaptable creatures. In the past, David never thought that he could study for more than 16 hours a day.
His sunny handsome face after so many days of torture, it seems to have withered a lot, dark circles under the eyes, the big eyes are full of (pain) knowledge (desire) thirst (life).
He couldn't get mad at Nada about not learning, so he swallowed it all in his stomach.
But his academic performance did improve by dozens of points because of this hell of a trial.
Nada's 50 points a week improvement is not for nothing.
However, Nada's help for him has been some of his interest, he is so tired, tired to the senses are numb.
On this very day, he received the news that the court would be in session this afternoon, and his whole body was excited --
At last he could see the sun outside!
He told David, "I'll do it. You write the papers here. I want to see you finish two papers when I come back."
David was stupid. "I'm not going?"
Nada said, "I am the plaintiff and I have to attend. Why should you attend?"
David fought hard for the right to attend, "As your family member, I am qualified and required to attend!"
Nada said, "No, you have time to write more papers."
Another puzzled expression, "You have written so many papers, did not feel the joy of doing the question?"
David: "..."
David asked, "Do you feel happy?"
Nada nodded, "I like to do problems, very fulfilling, very happy, very accomplished."
"We're different," David said bitterly.
He sees the truth now, he is a bad student!!
It's not like Adolf married a Dr. Oxford's mother and his family's genes could be improved. They can't!
David wanted to give up, but he did not dare to say that Nada's expectations for him were really heavy. Even if he did so many problems wrong, they were all praise for him, making him feel great and excellent. But so many red crosses were not a lie, he really did it seriously.
Nada saw his weakness and wavering, her eyes flickered slightly, and she whispered, "If you do these papers well, you will be rewarded with a hand rush in advance."
This does not arouse David's interest, he feels that his brain has been filled with knowledge, I am afraid that his few hands are also full of mathematical formulas and ancient poetry.
He has withered and can sit down and become a Buddha.
Nada sighed and asked, "In fact, you are really excellent, you can improve 35 points in such a short time, your future is definitely more than this level, as long as you survive two months, we study together in Tsinghua, can meet every day, this is not good?"
David: "... I want to go to court with you."
Nada did not think, "No, you can do at least two papers in these three precious hours."
David looked numb. "..."
Nada tilted her head to look at him, and with a slight wink of her beautiful eyes, held out her sinful hands to David.
"Then this reward in advance, OK?"
At the mere touch of it, he quickly rose up.
David: "..."
His face turned red and he was ashamed beyond measure --
Fuck! Shame on you!! You are not worthy!!
