The group of four quickly set off back to Ancheng. Watching the car slowly drive away from the familiar city, Yan Cuo looked back for a while, watching his hometown getting farther and farther away, and his memories were also buried deep.
It was not until I arrived in Ancheng, the place that held all my youth, that I felt more at ease. For me, this place is a place of rebirth, transformation, and a fresh start.
The four of them said goodbye one by one and returned to their own homes. When Yan Cuo returned, she saw her aunt making lunch and hurried over to help. Zhong Hongmei was a little surprised to see her and couldn't help but ask, "Why are you back so soon? Didn't you say you would stay a few more days?"
Yan Cuo held her hand and said, "I missed you. I found that my aunt treats me the best." Zhong Hongmei saw her rarely showing the shyness of a little girl and acting coquettishly with her. Her heart softened and she said to her in a doting tone, "You are such a grown-up girl, and you still act coquettishly."
Yan Cuo was not shy and continued to pester her, following her around. She pretended to be angry and said, "Why are you following me so carefully? Wait for me to bring the food over. You haven't had lunch yet, have you?"
Yan Cuo sat down obediently and nodded at her. She walked back to the kitchen helplessly, brought the food over one by one, and sat down with her.
Yan Cuo began to eat quietly, glancing at her from time to time. Zhong Hongmei felt uncomfortable being stared at by her and glared at her, "Just eat well, why are you looking at me like that?"
Yan Cuo suddenly smiled at her, "I feel that my uncle and aunt are so kind to me. I am so happy. Thank you."
Zhong Hongmei suddenly paused while eating, glanced at her, and seeing her smiling face, she couldn't help but touch her nose. "Silly child, what are you talking about? If we don't treat you well, who else can we treat well?"
Yancuo nodded, still smiling, looking particularly happy. She couldn't help but change the subject and asked her, "What are your plans for the summer vacation?"
Without even looking up, Yan Cuo replied naturally, "Study hard, get into a good university, and bring honor to you all."
"Which university do you plan to apply to?"
"Anda University." Yan Cuo replied quickly, without a trace of hesitation. "Anda University is close to home, so I can come back to see you often. Besides, Anda University is also a key university, a place I long to go."
Zhong Hongmei looked at her serious expression, thought for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it because that boy is in Anhui University?"
Yan Cuo raised his head, still looking serious, "Yes, I want to be with him."
"Do you really like him that much? Do you have to have him?"
"Yes, it has to be him."
Zhong Hongmei looked at the still slightly immature girl in front of her, her face full of determination and seriousness. She was a little speechless for a moment, but still wanted her to think it over carefully. "Yan Cuo, you are still young now. You think that boy is your favorite. But you will meet many people in the future. Maybe there will be better and more outstanding boys. You still have so much life ahead of you. Are you sure that this person can accompany you for the rest of your life?"
"Aunt, no one will treat me better than he does. Even if there is, it's not him. I've chosen him for my whole life. It's not just youthful arrogance, it's not just talk, it's true and sincere dedication. No matter how good or outstanding someone else is, I don't want him."
Seeing that she insisted, Zhong Hongmei didn't say anything else. She just left a word and went to the room.
"I hope that boy is worthy of your persistence."
Yan Cuo watched his aunt leave with a smile on his face. Yes, anyone could let him down, but he wouldn't.
After finishing her meal, Yancuo cleared the dishes and went to the kitchen. After cleaning up, she returned to her room. Although she had only been away for a day, she missed this little nest all the more. The room was tidy, and the floor was spotless, evidently meticulously cleaned. Thinking of her aunt's sharp tongue but kind heart, she couldn't help but laugh.
Lying on his own little bed, Yancuo's thoughts drifted away. Suddenly, he found his phone and sent him a message: "What are you doing?"
There was no reply to the message from the other side. She was a little bored. She played with her phone in bed for a while and fell asleep unconsciously. Suddenly, the phone rang. She opened her eyes quickly and saw that it was a message from him.
"I was in a meeting just now, what happened?"
"Nothing, I just missed you a little bit since we just separated, and wanted to see what you were doing."
"Me too. I miss you as soon as we're apart. You'll be starting school soon, so take a good rest at home and try to be in great shape for the start of the semester."
"Um!"
Putting down her phone, Yan Cuo picked up her textbook again and started reviewing the content of her senior year. Summer vacation was about to end, and she could foresee how fierce the competition would be when school started. She couldn't help but feel a little worried. Only when her pen tip kept jumping on the textbook and she watched the exercises being solved, did she feel at ease.
In the highly competitive senior year of high school, only by constantly learning and making progress can you keep up with the times, go to the university of your dreams, and be with him.
During the summer vacation, the head teacher often sent messages in the group, reminding the students to remember to study at all times and never fall behind. This month is crucial. Many students in the class went to cram schools. It is said that the cram school teachers are very good. Many students will post photos in the group. Yan Cuo will occasionally click in to take a few glances, and then quietly exit.
It is enough to rely on yourself. You are no worse than others. Even if you don’t go to that cram school, you can still be admitted to Anhui University.
In the following time, Yan Cuo worked on the college entrance examination simulation papers every day, and gradually figured out the general types of questions. He became more and more adept at doing them. He overcame doubtful and difficult points every day, and soon filled a large notebook with notes of wrong questions.
Yancuo feels very fulfilled and real in the process of growing and improving through accumulation. He is not a person with extraordinary talent, so he can only rely on acquired accumulation and hard work, step by step.
The results of the final exam came out a long time ago. The head teacher posted it in the group. Yan Cuo clicked on it and read it countless times. He saw that he was firmly in the second place, 13 points behind Xu Lin, who was in the first place.
These thirteen points were enough to let Yan Cuo know that his previous hard work was not enough, and he had to work harder to pull back a little bit and regain his first place and his best result.
In the blink of an eye, the short summer vacation is coming to an end. In two days, their senior year will start school. Once they enter the school gate, they will face rounds of exams and one opponent after another. One point can defeat a whole field of people, and it is never just talk.
But so what? Being young means facing challenges one after another. All they can do is accept it and then overcome it.
