Chapter 101 The driving force behind the scene?
After finishing the meal and washing the dishes, Liu Xinghe took out two grapefruits from the space, peeled them, took a few apples and cut them into pieces, put them into a simple fruit platter, and put one plate on the plate that Cheng Yunxiao used to put the fish.
When Cheng Yunxiao came over to return the tableware, he returned his plate and the fruit platter to him.
"You can eat the fruit after the meal while reading. It's one for each of us. You have to eat the apples quickly, or they will change color due to oxidation." Liu Xinghe pointed to the same fruit platter on the table behind her and said casually.
After eating so much bacon, she would give him some more fruit. She couldn't let him get away with it.
But the other person is a love-brain that can automatically fill in the blanks. He doesn't think about other things at all. He just thinks that this is the fruit that Liu Xinghe specially prepared for him. He is so happy.
"Okay, thank you Xinghe, you are so kind to me. Then I will go back to read first, and you should rest early."
Cheng Yunxiao smiled a little reservedly, but he was full of joy and excitement in his heart. He has never eaten fruit that others have peeled and arranged for him in his life, and his heart is full of joy again.
"Wait." Liu Xinghe stopped Cheng Yunxiao and reminded him after he turned around: "Tomorrow is the last day. The selection exam will start the day after tomorrow. You should be more careful and don't eat anything given by others. In particular, you should be more cautious with other people in the Youth Academy, whether they are female or male educated youth. You should be more careful and don't be too stressed. Go to bed on time." Although
Cheng Yunxiao is half a member of the armed forces like her, and should be as vigilant as she is, she still wants to remind him.
"Okay, I will pay attention and work hard on the exam. I will definitely become a primary school teacher. Wait for my good news. I'm going to study."
Cheng Yunxiao was so happy that he flew out quickly with the fruit. He was very excited at this time. Xinghe was worried about his exam! That was the exam that decided who they would be together! She was actually nervous too. He must work hard to pass the exam and not let Xinghe down.
Liu Xinghe laughed at his cheerful back. He was really easy to satisfy. He shook his head and went to study hard.
However, Liu Xinghe's instructions were not unreasonable. In the following day, the atmosphere in the Youth Academy became more and more tense.
No one sat together to read and study. At night, they went back to their own beds and read their own books instead of sitting together.
The incident of Yang Li, a narrow-minded person, shouting and disturbing others' reading, had previously served as a reminder to everyone in the academy. They were all very cautious and did not argue with anyone, let alone eat together. They were all on guard against each other. Everyone was especially on guard against Yang Li, for fear that they would be caught by surprise and delay their chances of taking the exam.
By this calculation, among all those who were going to take the exam, only Cheng Yunxiao, who lived alone, felt more at ease and prepared without distraction. However, his competitiveness was too great, and some people saw through him. The fewer competitors they had, the greater their chances would be, so some people took action.
On the night before the selection test, Yang Li ate the meal in her hand while looking at the wound on her right hand with self-pity. She turned around and saw that everyone else in the Youth Academy was reading seriously. She felt extremely unbalanced and muttered in a low voice with resentment: "I curse all of you for not passing the exam, not passing the exam."
"If I were you, I would study hard and practice writing. What's the use of your words when we are destroying the four olds? Those who can pass the exam to become primary school teachers can still pass. Look at all the comrades in our Youth Academy. Everyone studies very hard. Many of them are studious and have good grades when they were in school. Some of them just graduated from high school this year. They are very motivated to study and have a high chance of passing the exam."
Wang Jia, who was passing by on purpose, heard this and said to Yang Li righteously:
"Don't let everyone pass the exam while you're the only one who fails, because then everything you say will be just bullshit."
Liu Xinghe, who was walking to the fence at the gate of the yard after getting home from work, heard the conversation between the two. Her hand that was pushing the fence paused in mid-air, and she simply didn't enter the yard for the time being. She stood at the gate with one hand holding the fence and the other holding her bicycle, not moving, her eyes looking at the two people with their backs to her at the edge of the yard in front of her, and looked at Wang Jia a few more times.
At first glance, this statement seems to be fine, but the more you think about it, the more you feel it is wrong. Why is it that it seems to be deliberately provoking Yang Li, especially the last few sentences. Yang Li was already angry because of her injured hand and was jealous of others. This sister said these words in front of her. Wouldn't she get angrier and angrier? Wouldn't a brainless person with a stronger jealousy act impulsively and drag others into the water?
Sure enough, Yang Li stood up and looked at Wang Jia with anger, and the rice in her mouth spurted out, and she was not merciful at all.
"You're talking nonsense. You want to be selected? You're dreaming. Since you said so, I have to say it. I'm talking about you. You can't even pass the first round. 70 points is enough. So I wish you 69 points in the first round. 69 points, you are destined to get 69 points, 69 points!"
Yang Li was stubborn and rebellious. She told Wang Jia several times that she couldn't pass the first round and got 69 points. She even sang it. She didn't think about other people at all. She only criticized Wang Jia who came to provoke her.
Liu Xinghe pursed her lips and tried not to laugh out loud. Yang Li's singing voice sounded too funny.
Yang Li, who didn't play by the rules at all, was so angry that Wang Jia couldn't even breathe. She cursed, "You're sick in the brain. It's for your own good, so it's fine that you don't appreciate it. You even cursed me. If it's not your hand that gets cut, then who will get cut?"
"Bah, you're sick, and so are your whole family. You're doing this for my own good, but you're saying these things to me just to use me as a gun, aren't you? Bah, if you have the ability, take the exam seriously, and don't do these things that treat others as fools." As
Yang Li was talking, her mind suddenly came to light, and she pointed at Wang Jia with sudden realization:
"Oh, I see. I understand you now. Why did I yell and affect other people's reading? It was because when I was yelling in pain from my injured hand, I heard you muttering to yourself whether my yelling would affect your rest and reading. Now I think you might have said that to me on purpose. Yes, it must be like that."
Liu Xinghe's eyes widened. Was the news so explosive? Was there a hidden driving force behind Yang Li's previous incident? Is it true? Wang Jia?
Liu Xinghe's eyes moved to Wang Jia, just in time to see her tightly clenched hands, and the panic and anger flashing across her face. Then she regained her composure, as quickly as if she had seen it wrong.
I don't know what she said before, but Wang Jia's words today were indeed a bit deliberate.
Liu Xinghe recalled the introduction of Wang Jia and pulled out two words from his memory: selfishness and monopoly.
Wang Jia said in a tough manner:
"What are you talking about? When have I ever grumbled in front of you? At most, I grumbled to myself. Who wouldn't grumble with your voice? Everyone in our Youth Academy has grumbled. Is it wrong for me to suggest that you read books seriously and practice writing more? You don't know the good heart."
The noise outside finally attracted the people who were reading, studying or doing other things inside. After hearing what the two said, they all looked at Wang Jia and Yang Li. This was related to them, so they all came out.
Seeing people coming out, Liu Xinghe at the door pretended to have just come back, calmly pushed open the mud door and walked inside, standing among the educated youth who had just come out.
Yang Li, the person involved there, combined what Wang Jia said this time, and had already determined in her mind that this was what she thought, and she didn't listen to what Wang Jia said at all.
When she saw that most of the people in the educated youth courtyard had arrived, her eyes lit up, and she greeted people directly, shouting without showing any mercy to Wang Jia.
