College Entrance Examination Application

Chen Xing knew that the matter of her being late would not end so easily. Even if Wang Fuquan forgot about it, the head teacher would not pretend that nothing happened.

Dong Liang sat at his desk, with the thermos cup that teachers always bring on his left and a pile of teaching materials on his right.

Dong Liang said, "Chen Xing, you usually follow the rules. Why are you late on such an important day?"

Dong Liang has been teaching this class since the first year of high school, and he doesn't know Chen Xing very well. Chen Xing's grades are usually average, and he doesn't like to talk much. He is also a very passive student in the class and is easily ignored.

But Chen Xing happens to have an older sister who is a model student to compare with, and her father is Chen Hai, the teacher who teaches the first year of high school in this school this year.

Chen Xing was born in such a family. Even though his academic performance was worse than Chen Yue's, at least he received a good education.

Dong Liang also didn't understand why Chen Hai's two daughters, one was born in heaven and the other was neither good nor bad.

Chen Xing didn't originally want to tell the reason for being late, but now that the teacher has asked, she can't have a bad attitude.

Chen Xing said slowly: "Teacher, do you really want to know?"

Dong Liang was completely confused, not understanding what Chen Xing meant. "If you have any difficulties, just tell me. I'm not unreasonable."

In this case, Chen Xing said, "Teacher, I saw a little bird fall from its nest in the tree on the way. It took me some time to send it to its mother, so I was late."

Dong Liang: “?”

After Chen Xing finished explaining, not only Dong Liang but also all the teachers in the office suddenly fell silent.

Chen Xing knew they wouldn't believe it, but what she said was the truth.

Sometimes Dong Liang actually found it difficult to understand Chen Xing's thoughts, and he couldn't guess what kind of person she was. He could say that she was not sociable, but she got along well with Shi Nannan.

You might say she's aloof, but she's always happy to help her classmates when they ask her for help.

Dong Liang said, "Alright, regardless of whether what you said is true or false, this matter is over for now and it won't happen again."

Chen Xing nodded and said, "Oh, I see, teacher."

Since Dong Liang had nothing to do, he asked Chen Xing to go back to the classroom to study. As soon as Chen Xing turned around, he met Wen Yu's gaze.

No one knew when Wen Yu appeared. It seemed that he came to hand in the summer homework collected by the teacher.

Chen Xing met Wen Yu's gaze, and in that fleeting second, she seemed to see Wen Yu smiling.

Chen Xing suddenly frowned, looked at Wen Yu with a bad face, and left the office.

Chen Xing has seen Wen Yu twice today. Normally, they only meet a few times in a semester. He doesn’t know what happened today. Every time he sees him, it’s not good.

Chen Xing returned to his seat in the classroom from the office. As soon as he sat down, his deskmate Shi Nannan asked, "Xingxing, what did the teacher say to you?"

Chen Xing said, "Nothing."

Shi Nannan was still deeply touched by the fact that she was called to the office by the head teacher. As long as it was not a big mistake, Dong Liang would not punish her too severely. It was better than being called to the dean's office.

Shi Nannan handed Chen Xing the college entrance examination application form and asked, "Xingxing, do you have a university you want to apply to?"

Chen Xing took a look at it, folded it up casually and stuffed it into his schoolbag. This college entrance examination application form carries dreams and hopes for others, but to Chen Xing it is just a piece of waste paper.

Chen Xing didn't answer because she couldn't answer.

Shi Nannan clearly met Chen Xing often during the summer vacation, but now she could feel that Chen Xing was very unhappy.

In the past, Chen Xing rarely smiled, but even when she didn't smile, she would still be happy. But now, Chen Xing's face was full of melancholy.

At this time, Shi Nannan knew that Chen Xing was worried about something, and the only thing she could do was not to disturb him. This was the tacit understanding between friends of many years.

Shi Nannan could understand Chen Xing very well. She must be dissatisfied when being compared with a sister who looked exactly like her. After all, she didn't want to be compared with others, but she couldn't stop others from talking.

I pretend not to care on the surface, but I still care in my heart.

Chen Xing and Shi Nannan sat in the second to last row in the class. Behind them was Shen Xuyang. Because Shen Xuyang didn't get along with anyone, he had to sit behind them.

Chen Xing's ears were very noisy. There were not only the sounds of reading but also the sounds of quarrels. However, Chen Xing could always calm down no matter how noisy the environment was.

In Chen Xing's heart, there is a world that belongs only to her. She really wants to indulge in the lonely world and does not want to face reality.

Chen Xing likes to stare at the ginkgo tree outside the window. From where she sits, she can see the ginkgo tree that has existed for many years. Every time she sees the ginkgo leaves, she feels comforted in her heart and believes that she can live a long life.

At noon, Chen Xing and Shi Nannan were eating in the cafeteria, and Chen Xing was absent-minded.

Chen Xing was not in the classroom during lunch break. She went to the school rooftop alone. Standing up high, she could see farther, which made her feel more relaxed.

There are some abandoned desks and chairs on the rooftop. Chen Xing doesn't dare to bring her paintbrushes and sketchbooks back home, but this is her favorite place, where she can forget her worries for a while.

If only I could shout it out loud.

Chen Xing was painting here alone. She had never learned it properly, but her hands seemed to have memory and she could always draw the next stroke after finishing one.

She likes painting because it can calm her mind, and she feels happiest when she is focused.

On the playground in the distance, Wen Yu and Shen Xuyang had just finished playing a game of ball. Shen Xuyang was so tired that he lay on the lawn to rest. The sunlight was glaring, so he covered his head with his coat.

Wen Yu took a sip of water and looked up to see a figure appear on the Tiantai Mountain of the school. He recognized it as Chen Xing at a glance.

Wen Yu has very good eyesight and can even see Chen Xing concentrating on painting. He doesn't know how many times he has seen this scene, but never has he been closer.

After school in the evening, after Chen Xing and Shi Nannan separated at the fork in the road, she did not go home immediately.

Chen Xing was walking alone on a street called Xingfu Road. The street was very long, about one thousand meters long. It was the street she often walked on to go home, but it was the longest way home.

Chen Xing had walked down this street twice and had no intention of going home. A car had been following her for a long time.

Chen Xing walked for the third time before turning around and heading home. The car that had been following her only left after seeing her enter the community.

Chen Xing entered the house and said, "I'm back."

Chen Xing was still changing her shoes when her mother Gao Yamei came out of the kitchen. Her father Chen Hai hurried over to stop her.

Chen Xing knew that his head teacher had complained again.

Chen Hai blocked Gao Yamei and winked at Chen Xing, saying, "Xingxing, why don't you go back to your room and do your homework."

Before Chen Xing could answer, Gao Yamei shook off Chen Hai's hand.

"Why are you stopping me? I'm not going to hit her." Gao Yamei glared at Chen Hai.

Gao Yamei works in accounting and is also in management, so it is inevitable that she is a bit serious about education.

Gao Yamei really doesn't hit her children, and she doesn't hit Chen Yue, of course, because Chen Yue has been obedient and sensible since she was a child, and has always been a good child in the eyes of her parents.

As for Chen Xing, that was even less likely, because Chen Xing was born in poor health and was born with a disease that would burden his family. Although he was lucky enough to survive, he did not have a healthy body like ordinary people.

Gao Yamei asked, "Your teacher said you were late today, and you were late because you were helping a roadside bird find its mother. Where did you come up with such an outrageous excuse?"
