Seeing her shake her head, Su Xiao's expression softened slightly.
But she still spoke earnestly, "That's more like it. Yanzi, we women can't rely entirely on men for our happiness. Life is too long, and no one can predict the future. We also need to have our own careers, live authentically, and live a fulfilling life, so that we don't waste our time on this earth... Reading makes one wise, and a mind enriched with knowledge shines with its own beauty; this is also part of a woman's charm..."
Su Xiao felt like she had been rambling on and on, and in the end she didn't even know what she had said, nor did she know how much Huang Feiyan had actually listened to.
However, since then, Huang Feiyan has visibly become more and more diligent in her studies.
Su Xiao was very satisfied.
In late October, the newspapers finally published a notice announcing the resumption of the college entrance examination, with the exam scheduled for one month later.
This decision caused a huge stir across the country, with more than five million students picking up their textbooks, which had long been forgotten, and beginning a frantic review process.
Unfortunately, the time was far too short.
Especially those educated youth from the "Old Three Classes" (referring to the three graduating classes of 1966, 1967, and 1968), who had been sent to the countryside for too long, had forgotten much of their knowledge and had no review materials. Some of them couldn't even find, borrow, or buy their high school textbooks.
Feeling somewhat desperate, just when taking one step would lead to the light, yet countless obstacles arise, Liu Yunxia is a typical example of this group.
After a day, two days, and three days, she couldn't sit still any longer and knocked on the door next door.
“Su, the educated youth.”
Su Xiao opened the door and saw her haggard and melancholy expression. "Come in and talk."
Su Xiao had already guessed why she came. When she returned with the water, she saw Su Xiao staring blankly at the books on her desk.
"Sister Yunxia, please sit down," Su Xiao said with a smile. "I'm studying right now, would you like to sit down with me?"
Liu Yunxia seemed surprised by her direct response, feeling somewhat incredulous, but mostly excited, and uncertainly asked, "Me, can I?"
"Of course." Su Xiao nodded firmly. She hadn't forgotten that when Huang Feiyan was injured last time, it was she who ran around looking for people for them.
Liu Yunxia's eyes instantly reddened, and she choked back tears as she whispered, "Thank you."
Seeing her like this, Su Xiao felt bad and handed her the water, saying, "Sister Yunxia, have some water."
"Oh, okay, thank you." Liu Yunxia hurriedly took the water glass and thanked her again. It seemed that she couldn't say anything else except thank you now.
Su Xiao picked up a book and handed it to her. She hurriedly put down her water glass, took it with both hands, and stroked the cover with great care.
Seeing this, Su Xiao felt a pang of sadness.
"Sister Yunxia, you can take any of these books you want to review. I have a pretty complete collection of materials here. As long as you study hard, getting into university shouldn't be a problem." Su Xiao picked up the books on the table and began to introduce them to her. "This is a comprehensive book on math, physics, and chemistry. If you can master this one, your science subjects should be fine..."
Liu Yunxia listened silently, took notes, and felt deeply, and the flame of hope in her heart slowly rose again.
After that, Liu Yunxia joined in the study, borrowing Su Xiao's books to read and asking Su Xiao questions when she didn't understand something.
The more she got to know Su Xiao, the more she discovered his unique qualities: intelligent and kind. No wonder so many people liked such a dazzling person.
She was initially attracted to him too, but unfortunately, she backed away in the end, and now she regrets it.
