Forest Memories

Chapter 7 Environmental Protection

Influenced by Jack's request for rain, the students did not fight with cakes as usual, but ate them carefully.

No one wasted a piece of cake, no one wasted a drop of drink. After eating and drinking enough, we all cleaned up the scene with the not-so-bright light before going back to the dormitory.

Anna was going back to her dorm with her roommate, but she suddenly wanted to express herself and wanted to write about tonight. Considering that there were no pens or paper in the dorm, she turned back halfway to the classroom.

It was nearly eleven o'clock, and the whole teaching building area was immersed in the silence of the night.

Suddenly the lights in the classroom were on.

Anna was shocked.

She paused for a moment, looking through the window at the classroom and seeing Jack go to the locker to unpack his birthday present.

She walked into the classroom quietly.

"I'm going!"

This time it was Jack who was scared.

But Anna gave him a naughty smile in retaliation.

“……”

"Why didn't you go back to your dorm?" Jack continued to unpack the gift box.

Anna: "I'll get the paper and pen."

"Hmm?"

"For the first time, I found the feeling of writing an essay, for the first time, I attended my adult birthday party, and for the first time, I got to eat the nine-tiered cake I had always dreamed of. These are all beautiful experiences I have never tasted before, and I want to record them, but there is no paper or pen in my dorm, so I came to get one." Anna said, then casually took a notebook and a pen and prepared to leave.

"Are you free?" Jack pointed to the mountain of gifts and said, "Help me unpack."

Anna glanced at the watch on his wrist and finally nodded, "Okay."

Jack: "Break down the items into daily necessities, school supplies, and entertainment."

"Oh! Good."

"Are you going to use up all these gifts?"

"Of course not."

"And what are you doing?"

"Take it to the fundraiser."

"What?" Anna couldn't help laughing. "This is all the students' affection for you. How can you......"

"Of course I know it's all about the heart, so I want to make their hearts more meaningful. Since I don't need it, it would be disrespectful to waste it, so I'd rather donate it to someone in need."

"Do you not need any of these gifts?" Anna said, shaking her head. "I think they are all practical."

"I have it all, no need." Jack grinned at her. "Why don't I donate some to you?"

Anna quickly waved her hand. "No, no, no. I don't have many of them, but I don't like to pick up gifts from people, especially from acquaintances. It would be embarrassing for the owner to see them."

"Haha, just kidding."

A total of 50 gifts were divided into four categories by Anna and Jack and neatly placed in Jack's locker.

"It's too late today, so I'll find a time tomorrow to ask the students from the volunteer association to help take it away."

"Well, hopefully they'll all find their owners."

"Snap!" The two men clapped their hands and prepared to go back to the dormitory.

Anna was the first to leave.

"Anna," Jack called softly from where he stood.

Anna turned back, "Hmm?"

Jack took a delicate B4 notebook from his shoulder bag and handed it to her. "Here, do you want it?"

Anna looked down and exclaimed, "What is this?"

Jack nodded. "Yeah. It was one of the prizes for first prize in the National Math Olympiad last semester."

"Humph! I missed the competition by a five-point margin! When I see this, I think of my past failures, oh."

"Haha. It's a shame to lose, but it's a shame to lose. Who can do anything about it when there is only one place for the competition! Take it and remember your regret. Keep trying, and you will catch up with me soon."

Catch up... mouthful!

Jack regretted it as he bit his tongue.

Fortunately, Anna was not a pedantic person, and she took it in good faith.

"thanks!"

She reached out and gently touched the red badge on it, touching the honor she had missed.

"I will use it to write well and ask you to grade me when I finish."

"Well!"

Jack glanced at his watch. It was 11:10. The first and second years of high school had not yet started, and the school did not restrict the dormitory electricity time for the third year students, but it would stipulate that they must enter the dormitory building before 11:30 p.m.

"Come on, back to the dorm."

"good."

Not running at night and eating such a big piece of sweet food, Anna already felt her flesh swelling.

Before she knew it, she had changed her walk to a trot.

Jack saw that the man who had been walking with him suddenly disappeared and stopped to look for him.

"Dont Look Back."

“……”

Well, people are just fine.

The dormitory building was less than 200 meters away from the teaching building, and Anna soon arrived at her destination.

"If it's too late, don't write it."

"Well, look at the desire to express. It's good to have inspiration or to keep a record at any time."

"...... Yes. Go ahead."

"Beep~"

Watching Anna into the dormitory building, Jack smiled and shook his head before leaving.

When Anna entered the dormitory, her roommates were already ready to go to bed. She quickly finished her work, turned off the light and went to bed. Lying in her own little world, she turned on a small desk lamp and wrote down the story of the day under the air-conditioned quilt.

The next morning, she brought her work from last night to Jack for comments.

Jack was right. He not only scored her with a red pen, but also wrote her an appreciation and advice paragraph by paragraph.

Anna wrote carefully and studied carefully. Unconsciously, the contents of her notebook became rich. As long as she had the desire to express herself, she would write as soon as she picked up the pen. The more she wrote, the more smoothly she wrote, and the higher her score became. Jack's suggestions became less and less.

According to the regulations of Chaolang No.1 High School, senior high school students have no weekends and only monthly holidays. Moreover, all students must live on campus. If they want to go home, they can only wait until the end of each month for one or half a month's holiday, and there are two and a half days' monthly exams before the month's holiday.

As August draws to a close and the monthly exam is approaching, Anna is ready to fight.

She is fearless in mathematics, physics and biology, and has basically given up English. Her composition, which was helped by her desk mate for nearly 20 days, can finally be fought with honor.

Anna always remembers Jack's advice: no matter what the topic is, turn it into something you're interested in and use your interest to inspire your inspiration.

Sure enough, it worked. Anna felt that after about 20 days of writing practice, she answered questions more smoothly. What she had been unable to say for half a day came out at once. She also did reading comprehension with ease.

Key —— Essay, here it comes.

The theme of this month's essay is: environmental protection.

Anna was silent when she saw the subject.

The topic reminded her of Jack's birthday wish that day, and perhaps the extreme weather was not a sign of god's disrespect, but perhaps it was human beings who were killing themselves.

Excessive cutting and logging, destroying forests, littering and polluting the environment, excessive use of white waste, random discharge of waste water and exhaust gas, and so on.

Nature retaliates when humans destroy it, including but not limited to extreme weather.

Anna has so much to say about the environment.

She emptied her mind and talked about a series of environmental behaviors, such as saving natural resources, not littering and protecting flowers and trees.

It was not until she finished that Anna felt relieved as if she had been relieved of a burden.

According to Anna's experience in the past 20 days, the more smoothly she writes, the higher the score she gets. She has a feeling that she will do well in Chinese this time, and even pass.

Writing furiously drained Anna's energy, and she was so nervous that she was not in the right state for the rest of the exam.

Jack, who had noticed something was wrong with Anna, had assumed that she was unhappy about her poor performance in one subject and had not asked until the morning of the third day when all subjects were over.

"How did you do?" Jack asked casually.

"Unless something happens, I'm not gonna be your desk mate next month." Anna's tone was a little more cheerful, but not by much.

"...... It's hard to sit next to me?"

"Um," Anna nodded with a grievance, and then quickly waved her hand. "That's not what I meant. What I mean is that I should be able to kick off the last place soon, oh yeah!"

Happy? Jack pinched his brow. He should be happy for her, but why couldn't he feel happy?

"What? You're not happy about my upcoming flight? You're flying it!"

"Happy, of course. I would be even happier if you could fly alongside me."

"That... is probably not realistic."

“why？”

"I have achieved initial success in Chinese, but I really have no idea about foreign languages, I'm afraid......"

"Don't talk about discouragement. Take it slowly. Since you've had some initial success, why not celebrate in advance?"

'Not good, huh?'

Anna glanced around the classroom. The students were all getting ready for the holiday, waiting for the old cow to give the order. They all looked like they were doing well.

"What if I'm wrong? What an embarrassment."

Jack was silent, turning to stare at his book as if he were looking for an answer.

He's not talking? Is he speechless?

When you celebrate, you eat. Would you look petty if you were so twisted?

Anna said anxiously, "Whether it was successful or not, I need to thank you for your help these ten days. Let's go and celebrate."

Jack laughed and said, "What are we celebrating?"

"Celebrate the joy of helping."

The reason... sigh!

"Ready."

"Jack, can I just ask you?"

"Hmm?"

"I know you have three brothers who share your happiness. You eat and drink together, but I'm not familiar with them. Can I not invite them?"

Besides not being familiar with it, there was also a lack of money, which Anna was too embarrassed to say.

Jack: "Of course, why not call them."

"Ah? Ah, ok ok. Yiyang spicy hot pot?"

"can."

"Let's go later."

"good."

After the wind blew into the classroom and the students announced their vacation, they rushed out of the room. Only Anna and Jack deliberately procrastinated.

After the two of them were left alone in the classroom, Anna got up and went to the locker to get her bag. The bag was empty, so she put her eating utensils into it.

"What are you doing?" Jack didn't understand.

"Bring your own cutlery, environmentally friendly."

"...... can."

"Are you not going to bring one?"

"too troublesome."

"No trouble, no trouble, bring it out, I'll carry it for you."

"Um..." I'm too lazy to wash.

Anna saw his hesitation and said, "It's okay, I'll help you wash it!"

“……”

Can you say no? Jack can only acquiesce.

Anna put both bowls in her own bag and walked away.

"wait a minute."

Jack called her over.

"how?"

Jack pointed to her bag. "I'll carry it."
