Chapter 31 One and a Half
Spring in the north is always short.
It seemed like the wind was still blowing coldly just the other day, but when I woke up one night, all I saw was green.
The mosquitoes also came out and kept buzzing in the scorching sun early in the morning.
This mosquito liked Zhang Yang and kept buzzing around him. Soon, there were several mosquitoes flying around Zhang Yang.
Xin Tianyi straightened the strap of his schoolbag again and again, thinking it was straight, but there was no eye at the back. The front was straight, but the back had several bends.
Zhang Yang looked for a long time, waved the mosquito beside him with one hand, and slowly raised the other hand.
It's really ugly.
Zhang Yang thought, how could there be a girl who doesn't care about anything.
"Your bag strap." Zhang Yang could only remind him again.
"Not ready yet?" Xin Tianyi tried to look back, but unfortunately, he couldn't see anything. He said, "Forget it. We'll be at school soon."
Zhang Yang sighed silently in his heart and wanted to reach out to help her, but he didn't expect his hands to be so heavy that he couldn't lift them.
He had enough strength to shoo away mosquitoes, but when it came to rolling up his bag, he became timid.
"What's wrong?" Wei Ran took a look and said with a smile, "I'll fix it for you."
After Wei Ran finished speaking, he reached out to help, and smoothed the strap from top to bottom.
It's that simple!
Xin Tianyi looked at him with a smile: "Thank you."
Wei Ran: “It’s a small matter!”
It's that simple!
But Zhang Yang didn't know what was wrong with him, he just couldn't stretch out his hand.
He was puzzled himself, but the mosquito kept chasing him, so he put this strange thing behind him and focused on swatting the mosquitoes.
"Why are you attracting mosquitoes so much?"
A voice sounded beside him. Zhang Yang didn't even look at it and replied casually: "Who knows? It's always chasing me."
"Here, use this. Rub a little on your body and mosquitoes won't bite you."
Zhang Yang reached out to take it, but it was not until he noticed that the hand that was handed to him had white skin and slender fingers that he realized that it was not from one of his other friends.
When I looked up, I heard Xin Tianyi exclaim, "Bai Xue? Why are you here?"
"I came early and was waiting for you at the intersection. Let's go to school together." Bai Xue smiled and looked at Zhang Yang. "I saw you were chasing something from a distance. Come on, put it on and you won't attract mosquitoes."
Zhang Yang glanced at Bai Xue and said, "Forget it, that's not necessary."
"Here." Bai Xue stuffed it directly into Zhang Yang's palm. "Hurry up and apply it. If you attract mosquitoes like this, we will get bitten too."
A small orange-red box of cooling oil lay in the palm of his hand. Zhang Yang looked down at it, then looked up at Xin Tianyi.
Xin Tianyi looked at him and said, "Why are you looking at me? Why don't you put it on quickly?"
Xin Tianyi walked over, took the cooling oil from Zhang Yang's hand, opened the lid directly, and then handed it to Zhang Yang: "Can't you open it?"
Zhang Yang took it and applied it.
"Let's go quickly, it's so hot."
Yuan Dabao was most afraid of heat and kept muttering, "It was still cool yesterday, why is it so hot so early this morning?"
"It's going to be almost 30 degrees today," Bai Xue said.
"Ah? Really?" Yuan Dabao frowned. "My mom insisted I wear long sleeves underneath. I should have just put on a vest."
"Did you check the weather forecast?" Xin Tianyi and Bai Xue walked side by side in front.
"I watch it every day." Bai Xue said with a smile.
"I'll watch it later too," Xin Tianyi said. "It's the weather forecast after the news broadcast, right?"
"Hmm." Bai Xue suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, did you review last night? There's a placement test today."
"I reviewed math," Xin Tianyi said honestly. "I didn't have time to review the other subjects. Math alone is enough to give me a headache."
"You're also weird," Bai Xue said. "You're so good at Chinese and English, but so bad at math."
"Who knows. Maybe I just don't have a brain for math."
"Don't say that." Wei Ran said from behind, "You've made great progress in math."
"It's quite big." Xin Tianyi turned to look at Wei Ran with a look of despair. "You can pass the exam. But there are only one or two students in the class who fail. You almost always get full marks in math."
"Don't worry, there is still more than a month before the high school entrance examination. You can definitely give it another try." Wei Ran comforted Xin Tianyi.
Xin Tianyi nodded, turned around and saw Zhang Yang holding the cooling oil in his hand. He felt the smell of the cooling oil rushing into his nose, refreshing.
Xin Tianyi then asked, "The mosquitoes are not chasing you anymore, are they?"
"Yeah." Zhang Yang smiled.
Bai Xue also looked at Zhang Yang, very surprised.
She rarely saw Zhang Yang smile. Although they were desk mates, all she saw every day was the back of Zhang Yang's head.
At first I just slept, but now I read and do exercises non-stop.
Bai Xue didn't know why Zhang Yang had changed. After the winter vacation, he stopped sleeping.
But he never listened to the lectures. He never looked up during class, but the pen in his hand never stopped writing.
Bai Xue observed Zhang Yang silently. It seemed like he had made some plans for himself. He did not follow the teacher's steps and reviewed on his own.
I read one textbook after another, from the first to the third year of junior high school, without missing a single one.
I don’t know what results I can achieve from my review.
Bai Xue was also very curious and wanted to know if Zhang Yang's grades could improve.
So she is looking forward to this placement test.
If it works, she will also review her own.
She must go to high school.
This baseline test lasted for two consecutive days, and Bai Xue's cooling oil was borrowed by everyone. At the end of the two-day test, the small box of cooling oil was empty.
The teacher seemed to be looking forward to the results of this baseline test and graded the papers very quickly. Early in the morning on the third day, when everyone came to school, the results of each subject had already come out.
Liu Yuan was very excited when she walked to the podium.
She announced loudly that in this exam, the class's total score ranked first in the school, and the top student in the school was still a student from Class 1, Grade 9.
In addition, Liu Yuan said that some students have made great progress. With this momentum, if they continue to work hard for more than a month, they should have no problem passing the technical secondary school entrance exam.
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Yang.
In this baseline test, Zhang Yang became the most "brilliant" person in the class.
It even overshadowed Wei Ran's brilliance as the top student in the school.
No one understood how Zhang Yang jumped from the last place to the top 20 in the class.
This gap in results was so huge that it made everyone drop their jaws.
At first everyone was a little skeptical, but when they remembered that Zhang Yang sat in the last row of the class during the exam, next to Yuan Dabao, everyone put aside their doubts.
"Twentieth place!" Yuan Dabao sighed, holding Zhang Yang's report card in both hands, unable to believe his eyes. "Don't go home at noon. No, don't go home today either. I really can't show this result to your mother. If your mother knows, my mother will know too, and I'll get scolded again."
"Didn't you improve as well?" Wei Ran said from the side. "Fifty-third, that's pretty good."
"I thought it was good originally, but when I saw him comparing me..." Yuan Dabao was a little discouraged and very dissatisfied with Zhang Yang. "Brother, this is not good. We agreed to have bad grades together, so how come you suddenly got promoted?"
Zhang Yang grabbed his report card and stuffed it into his schoolbag. "This is just the beginning."
"Hey! I told you you're fat, and you're really out of breath!" Yuan Dabao said angrily, "Twenty isn't good enough? What do you want to get?"
"My target." Zhang Yang pointed at Wei Ran, "Him!"
"Yue!" Yuan Dabao rolled his eyes. "First in the whole school? You should save your money."
Xin Tianyi sat aside and listened to the three people quarreling. She knew Zhang Yang's grades. In his previous life, he was also like this. In the last semester, he caught up with others and was like a chicken with blood. In the end, he was admitted to high school with excellent grades.
"What do you want to do if you get first place?" Yuan Dabao asked. "Like Wei Ran, get into a normal school? Become a teacher?"
"I want to go to high school and go to college," said Zhang Yang.
When Bai Xue heard this, her eyes immediately lit up: "I want to go to high school too. Zhang Yang, can we be classmates in high school then?"
Everyone was happily talking about what their life would be like a month from now.
Only Xin Tianyi sat in his seat, staring blankly at the blackboard.
Wherever she looked, wherever she listened, she saw her friends.
But she was also a little sad, because, in her previous life, all she had left of her memories of her friends was a month and a half.
