Chapter 35 Let’s take the college entrance exam together
Nan Xuqiu looked around and saw people of all kinds sitting around tables, talking and laughing, eating together. He suddenly realized that sometimes, having a lot of people and talking a lot would not necessarily be noisy or make him feel annoyed. Instead, it would be very comfortable. The mixed fragrance in the air seemed to be the human atmosphere that he had been looking for for a long time.
"Senior, what are you...looking at?" Chi Jinjin asked when she saw him standing there in a daze.
Nan Xuqiu retracted his gaze, mixed the noodles in his bowl, and said, "I didn't see anything. It's just that I ate in a place like this for the first time, and it felt pretty good."
"I also like to eat in crowded places. I feel that the more people there are, the more delicious the food becomes. On the contrary, when I am alone, the food becomes tasteless." Chi Jinjin smiled, and then suddenly thought of something and suggested, "Senior, would you like to add a tea egg? The tea eggs here are also delicious."
"What are tea eggs?" Nan Xuqiu wondered, "Eggs made from tea leaves?"
"No, it's eggs cooked in tea leaves. They're delicious. Haven't you tried them?"
Nan Xuqiu shook his head.
"Then I'll add one for you." Chi Jinjin stood up and ran to get him a tea egg.
Nan Xuqiu saw her knock the tea egg against her forehead, then peel off the eggshell bit by bit. As she peeled, she said, "This powder and tea eggs are a perfect match. Life is incomplete if you haven't eaten tea eggs!"
She left the last bit of eggshell and handed it to Nan Xuqiu.
"Thank you." Nan Xuqiu took it.
Chi Jinjin looked at him expectantly. Seeing him take a bite of the egg in his hand, she asked hurriedly, "How is it? Is it delicious?"
Nan Xuqiu nodded and smiled, saying, "Can you give it to me again?"
"Of course!" Chi Jinjin quickly stood up and happily went to get him another one.
Seeing that he liked it, Chi Jinjin was so happy. She just wanted to share everything she liked with Nan Xuqiu. It didn’t matter even if he didn’t like it.
She likes to share with others, and now she finds that there is something more joyful than sharing with others, and that is sharing with the people she loves.
"Senior, when you graduate from high school, which university do you want to apply to?" Chi Jinjin suddenly asked again.
Nan Xueqiu replied, "Let's go back to Hua."
Fuhua University is the best and most promising university in China, but its admission score is very high, so the admission rate is very low every year. However, Chi Jinjin thought that with Nan Xuqiu's grades, it would not be difficult to get in.
"What about you? Which university do you want to apply to?" Nan Xuqiu asked back.
Chi Jinjin said, "I... haven't thought about it yet."
"So what kind of person do you want to be in the future?" Nan Xuqiu asked again.
Chi Jinjin replied without hesitation, "I want to be a lawyer."
"Why do you want to be a lawyer?" Nan Xuqiu asked curiously.
Chi Jinjin explained, "I grew up in the countryside and saw many people being bullied because they had no money to sue. I wanted to protect the interests of those poor families when I became a lawyer."
"What about you, senior? What kind of person do you want to be?" Chi Jinjin asked him again.
Nan Xuqiu thought for a moment and said, "I don't know either. Like you, I haven't figured it out yet. What kind of person do you think I'm suitable to be?"
"I think you can become a policeman." Chi Jinjin said with a smile.
"Why do you think I can become a policeman? Is it because of my grandfather?" Nan Xuqiu asked.
Chi Jinjin replied, "No, I just said it as a joke. A long time ago, I read a comic and thought the protagonist in the comic looked a bit like you. He happened to be a police officer, so I thought so. As for what kind of person you really want to be, it's up to you to decide. But no matter what it is, I think as long as it's what you want, it will be the best."
Nan Xuqiu smiled.
Chi Jinjin noticed a drop of oil on the corner of his mouth and reminded him, "Senior, there's something stuck on the corner of your mouth."
As she spoke, she reached out to pull a tissue to wipe him, but unexpectedly, Nan Xuqiu also reached out to pull the tissue, but instead of pulling the tissue, he grabbed Chi Jinjin's hand.
Both of them were stunned.
Chi Jinjin quickly withdrew her hand, pushed the tissue in front of him, then buried her head in the bowl and shoveled noodles into her mouth.
Nan Xuqiu smiled, pulled out a piece of paper and wiped the corner of his mouth.
Chi Jinjin quietly raised her eyes to look at him, and she suddenly remembered a sentence: When you come to this world, you must see the sun and walk on the street with your sweetheart.
In the autumn when leaves fall and the breeze blows, all the good things come unexpectedly...
When Chi Jinjin returned, she saw Tang Shi eating, and Song Ci bought her a lot.
Seeing Chi Jinjin, Tang Shi hurriedly called her over to eat.
The two of them ate and chatted as if they were having a picnic outside.
Tang Shi suddenly sighed and said dejectedly, "I can't run anymore, and I don't know what else I can do."
"Tang Shi, let's take the college entrance examination together?" Chi Jinjin suggested.
Tang Shi laughed and said, "How can I get into university with such bad grades?"
"How do you know if you don't try? Just like before, I never thought I could run the entire marathon. Give it a try, I'll help you, and we can get into college together?" Chi Jinjin advised.
Tang Shi thought about it, nodded and said, "You're right, we should always try, just in case it works."
"Yeah." Chi Jinjin smiled happily.
Later, Tang Shi was discharged from the hospital. Song Ci, who used to come to school every few days, now comes to school every day. He buys things for Tang Shi, helps push her wheelchair, and carries her up and down the stairs, just like an old father taking care of his child.
For a while, the school was also spreading rumors about whether they were really together, and Song Ci was very happy to hear this news.
Tang Shi also actively cooperated with the doctor's treatment. Even if she was not active, Song Ci would still take her to do rehabilitation training.
One day, when Song Ci was passing by an alley, he suddenly saw Gong Sheng being blocked by a few street thugs who were extorting money from him.
"Hey, don't touch our school people!" Song Ci walked forward and said.
A few street thugs who had been beaten up by Song Ci before quickly ran away when they saw him.
Gong Sheng nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Song."
"From now on, don't call me Brother Song. Just call me Song Ci." Song Ci said.
Gong Sheng couldn't believe it and looked at him in surprise.
Song Ci coughed dryly and said, "I'm sorry about what happened before. I didn't know my behavior was so bad. I won't treat you like that again in the future, and you don't have to treat me like that. We can just get along like ordinary classmates."
When Gong Sheng heard him actually say "I'm sorry" to him, he was even more surprised and didn't dare to say anything.
Song Ci picked up the schoolbag on the ground and handed it to Gong Sheng, who took it nervously.
"I have to leave first because of something. You should leave quickly too. Goodbye." Song Ci turned and left the alley. Gong Sheng was still stunned.
On the weekend, Song Ci took Tang Shi to watch a football match. At the moment of victory, the whole stadium was boiling, and Tang Shi and Song Ci hugged each other excitedly in the audience.
But Tang Shi soon realized that something was wrong and let go of Song Ci, but Song Ci still held her and refused to let go. Tang Shi pushed him away with great effort.
"What are you doing?" Song Ci was still unsatisfied.
Tang Shi warned, "Don't take advantage of me."
"Oh." Song Ci sighed.
Tang Shi looked at Song Ci, who seemed a little lost, and suddenly said to him, "Song Ci...would you...would you consider taking the college entrance exam with me?"
"Take the college entrance examination?" Song Ci was surprised.
Tang Shi nodded, "Let's apply to the same university. If...if you get admitted...I...I will be your girlfriend."
"You said it, don't go back on your word!" Song Ci said happily.
In the evening, Song Ci found Nan Xuqiu and said with high morale, "Old Nan, please help me, I want to take the college entrance examination!"
Ji Yang, who was drinking water at the side, suddenly sprayed out the water in his mouth.
"What? You're going to college?" Ji Yang said in disbelief. "Did I hear you right? With your terrible grades?"
"My grades can be improved. For a genius like me, it will happen in minutes." Song Ci said confidently.
Ji Yang chuckled.
Nan Xuqiu was curious, "Why do you suddenly want to go to college? Is it because of Tang Xuemei?"
"How do you know?" Song Ci was surprised.
Nan Xuqiu smiled but said nothing.
Originally, Ji Yang thought that Song Ci was just talking, but he didn't expect that he would actually take it seriously and buy a bunch of books and materials.
"Okay, from today on, I will teach you. Tell me, which subject do you not understand?" Nan Xuqiu asked.
Song Ci thought about it for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
"..." Nan Xuqiu held his forehead and said, "That's it."
Nan Xuqiu was silent for a while, took out a few test papers, handed them to Song Ci, and asked him to finish them.
After he finished, Nan Xuqiu corrected it and finished it quickly.
"How about it, am I right about everything?" Song Ci asked confidently.
Nan Xuqiu said calmly, "That's all wrong."
"No, that's impossible..." Song Ci questioned.
Nan Xuqiu pulled out a test paper and slowly read, "Two-thirds of the nursing home's residents are still elderly. The elderly woman's walking speed is 90 meters per minute."
"Don't you laugh when you write these answers?" Nan Xuqiu asked seriously.
Ji Yang on the side burst into laughter and said while laughing, "Hahahaha, I don't think there is anything wrong with it. Song Ci's family is in a nursing home, maybe all the old men are half-hearted."
"I want to die." Song Ci grabbed the book on the table and threw it towards Ji Yang.
Nan Xuqiu put down the test paper and suggested, "I think you should ask Junior Sister Xiaochi to teach you. It just so happens that she has also been tutoring Junior Sister Tang recently."
So the next day, Song Ci put a stack of money in front of Chi Jinjin.
"Senior Song, what does this mean?" Chi Jinjin was confused.
Song Ci said, "Lao Nan said that he wanted you to teach me my lessons."
"But, I only know the first grade of high school." Chi Jinjin said in embarrassment.
At this time, Nan Xuqiu came over and explained, "Just teach him the freshman level. If he doesn't learn the freshman level well, I won't be able to teach him at all."
Chi Jinjin understood what Nan Xuqiu meant and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I can teach you, but you have to take the money back. We are friends, and friends don't need this."
"You mean, we are friends?" Song Ci asked.
Chi Jinjin nodded, "You are Tang Shi's friend, and Tang Shi's friends are also my friends."
"I haven't made any other friends in a long time. Great, then we will be friends from now on. I want you to be my friend!" Song Ci stretched out his hand to her.
Chi Jinjin understood immediately and high-fived him to become friends.
So the five of them officially became friends in this golden autumn season, standing side by side and becoming better adults together. The most attractive trio in the school has now become a gang of five, and they can be seen together almost every day.
"Oh my God, I'm so envious of Chi Jinjin and Tang Shi. When did they get to play with Senior Nan and the others?" Wang Xiaomo looked at Chi Jinjin and the others downstairs with envy in her eyes.
The other girls lying on the railing were all like Wang Xiaomo.
Only Shen Moli and Sun Luyao were furious and watched with gnashed teeth.
Song Nuannuan stood at the school gate, looking around, as if waiting for someone.
After a while, a car drove up to Song Nuannuan.
"Finally, you're here." Song Nuannuan looked dissatisfied, but when she saw that it was Ji Yang who got out of the car, she was stunned. She was puzzled, "Ji, Brother Ji Yang? Why is it you? Where is my brother?"
"Your brother needs to study and can't come today." Ji Yang said.
Song Nuannuan muttered, "He's the only one who still wants to study? I'm afraid he's fooling around somewhere."
"Don't disbelieve me, he has been working hard for the sake of your future sister-in-law. Now he never sleeps in class and scolds others when they talk in class. He is almost becoming the disciplinary committee member of the class." Ji Yang said with a smile.
Song Nuannuan was surprised. "Really? Then my future sister-in-law is really amazing. But... I have a family meeting today. If he doesn't come, who will help me?"
Song Nuannuan was worried.
Ji Yang smiled and pointed at himself, saying, "The family members are right here. Today I am your family member. Let's go."
Ji Yang took her hand and walked into the school.
Song Nuannuan looked down at her hand, a slight blush appearing on her face.
After the family meeting, Song Nuannuan invited Ji Yang to eat.
Ji Yang asked curiously, "You are studying well in the United States, why do you have to return to China?"
"Because I feel that my brother is alone in the country, like an empty-nest elderly person, which is quite pitiful." Song Nuannuan replied.
"Empty-nest elderly?" Ji Yang was amused by her words.
Song Nuannuan looked at Ji Yang. He smiled brightly, revealing his two canine teeth, and his eyes were bright. Besides this, there was actually another important reason for her return to China, but she would not tell him. That was her secret...
Song Ci almost turned their lounge in the cafeteria into a cram school, with test papers and books everywhere. He also added a movable blackboard to make it easier for Chi Jinjin to teach them.
Originally, Ji Yang was reluctant to study, but after Song Ci left, he was too bored and gradually was infected by their study atmosphere. The most important thing was that Song Ci jumped forward more than ten places in the high school entrance examination, leaving him alone at the bottom. Ji Yang was embarrassed, so he joined their study team.
Later, Song Nuannuan also came to their lounge on the weekend.
"What are you doing here?" Song Ci asked with disdain.
Song Nuannuan retorted rudely, "What's wrong with me coming? I won't disturb your studies. I will do my homework well on the side."
"You'd better do what you say, otherwise I'll throw you out of here." Song Ci said.
Song Nuannuan made a face at him.
