Chapter 119 The College Entrance Examination Ends
Time flies, and in the following year, studying took up the majority of my life.
Occasionally, on a free weekend, the two would secretly hold hands and go to see a movie together.
Lin Huai and Xiao You made a promise that they would start dating in college.
They are all ordinary children from ordinary families, and their studies are the most important thing.
With the college entrance examination approaching, the school held three mock exams.
Lin Huai and Xiao You consistently ranked first and second in their class, and Lin Huai even scored 120 points in English in the final mock exam.
Their high school is a provincial key high school, and every year around thirty students are admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities.
If they maintain this level of performance, they're practically guaranteed a win.
After taking graduation photos, the three lucky kids privately asked Lin Huai, "What major are you planning to study? We were thinking that even though our grades aren't that good, at least we'll be in the same city and can hang out together in the future."
Lin Huai thought for a moment, "Wherever Xiao You goes, I'll go."
Strangely enough, in their second year of high school, when the whole class thought they had completely broken up, the two suddenly made up.
They eat and study together every day, as inseparable as newlyweds.
Xiao You worked as hard as ever, but after a whole year of effort, she still couldn't surpass Lin Huai's grades.
Lin Huai had already secured a direct admission spot, but he still wanted to fight alongside Xiao You.
On the way back to class, a girl stood at the door of Class 1 and asked a boy to give Lin Huai a love letter.
That was during the rainstorm, when Lin Huai unexpectedly met the girl under Lin Huai's umbrella while trying to share an umbrella with Xiao You.
When Lin Huai opened the door, Xiao You was filled with anger. It took a long time of coaxing her in the grove that night before she calmed down.
Seven days until the National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao).
During evening self-study, Liu Cuicui chatted with them on the podium.
That night, they could not hear the cicadas chirping outside the window, nor the teacher's angry shouts downstairs, nor the students from other classes reciting their lessons. Only freedom and reluctance repeatedly tormented them.
It seems like this kind of scene will never happen again.
They are about to go their separate ways and face a new future.
The teacher standing on the podium dedicated the best years of his life to his students. No matter how naughty, troublesome, or unmotivated they were, he never said a bad word about them to outsiders.
Silently watching over them, every evening during self-study session.
He waited until all the students had left before locking the door and going home.
Liu Cuicui cried and said, "After you leave No. 1 High School and leave me, don't get into conflicts with others. I've cleaned up so many messes for you! Don't panic or be afraid when problems arise. Solving problems is more important than venting your emotions. When you become rich and big bosses, don't forget to come back and treat me to a nice meal. In these three years, I've only bought snacks and late-night meals for you. I haven't even had time to buy myself a decent piece of clothing. The female teacher in the next class complains that I'm an unkempt old lady..."
As she spoke, she began wiping her eyes, and her classmates couldn't hold back their laughter either, bursting into tears.
Liu Cuicui looked up at Lin Huai and asked, "Do I look unattractive anymore?"
Lin Huai stood up and said loudly, "Teacher, if I had been born ten years earlier, I would definitely have married you!"
Wang Bahang and Yang Zijiang also stood up, crying and saying, "We won't let Lin Huai take you away, Cuicui, I love you!"
Liu Cuicui held up her phone and recorded Lin Huai's words, enough for him to show off to other female teachers for years to come.
Lin Huai looked at Xiao You, buried his face in his arms, and gently rubbed it, as if he was also crying.
They all slept very well the night before the college entrance examination.
We've made a promise to apply to the same school and then rent a small apartment nearby.
Soon, the day of the official college entrance examination arrived.
It is said that this is the hottest day in ten years, with the outdoor temperature reaching at least 40 degrees Celsius. You could fry an egg on the bridge instantly.
Fortunately, they were both taking exams at their own school. Early in the morning, Lin Huai got up, packed the breakfast his mother had prepared in advance, and his schoolbag and exam admission ticket, and strode out the door.
Lin's mother didn't have much to say. The day before, she told Lin Huai that she wanted to take him to the exam venue, but Lin Huai refused.
He scanned a bicycle and rode it to school as usual.
Seeing Xiao You waiting for him at the door, the two walked into the teaching building side by side as usual, and finally went to different examination rooms.
This time, they are on the same starting line, facing the unknown future together.
The quartz clock on the blackboard struck twelve, the bell rang, and they opened their pens to start writing.
With the end of their last exam, their high school life came to a close.
In the final few minutes, Liu Cuicui gave a few words of advice before bursting into tears.
The students lingered in the classroom, some even waiting on the playground for their last ball game.
Xiao You walked to the lawn, found a spot to sit down, and watched the tall, handsome boy running freely on the field.
He thought that perhaps it was because Wen Jing, as a young master, had never experienced a youth like this before, that he cherished it so much.
Lin Huai walked over and sat down next to Xiao You, who was sitting in the middle of the lawn, and looked up at the blue sky with him.
Behind the scenes, unnoticed by anyone, his hand covered his own.
In the evening, on the still-warm playground, the boy said gently, "No matter who you are, I love you."
A gentle breeze swept by, taking away the heat. Xiao You said, "You're not allowed to hit me with balls anymore. What if I transmigrate into a book again?"
Lin Huai chuckled, shook his head, and said, "It's alright, I'll chase after you."
After leaving the school, they sat down in a hot pot restaurant. Lin Huai, the class monitor, organized a dinner party called "Confession Party".
A huge hot pot restaurant was filled with students from their class.
The dishes and hot pot base had already been served when a girl said, "Freshly baked answers, are you right or not!"
The three lucky treasures were already scratching their heads and calculating the score, muttering it aloud, pointing with their hands, and even calculating it on their phones.
Xiao You asked them, "What scores can you get?"
"Holy crap, 400! Even getting a bachelor's degree is a stretch!" Wang Haomai was almost in tears.
Yangtze River is slightly better, maybe around 450. It doesn't matter how much Wang Bahang scores, he's about to go home to inherit the family business.
The college entrance exam is essentially a genetic issue.
"It's okay," Xiao You comforted them. "It's better than we expected. Besides, we can still keep in touch."
“Yes, we can take the postgraduate entrance exam in the future!” one student said.
"Still taking exams? I might as well go back to manual labor!"
Wang Haomai's heart pounded with anxiety: "What if I don't pass the exam!"
Xiao You smiled and said, "No, I'll protect you."
"You're not a bodhisattva."
"Open your mouth." Lin Huai picked up a piece of hot beef tripe and fed it directly to Xiao You.
The movements were as natural as if they were being fed every day.
The students next to him were stunned.
What are these two up to now?
