Chapter 56 Chapter 56 You young lovers celebrate Singles' Day like lovers...
November came in a blink of an eye, and Xin Ai and Fu Xize welcomed their first exam week in college.
Xin Ai was fine, he felt that the oil painting department was not too competitive. Apart from two or three exams, all other subjects required him to submit a painting or a paper, so Xin Ai did not feel any pressure.
The ones who really compete hard in this school are students majoring in science and engineering or popular majors. Not only the top scorers in the college entrance examination in each region are competing hard, but also many competition students. It is often the latter who are at the top of the food chain.
In addition to the content of these majors, these majors also have a large amount of advanced mathematics and physics content. This thing requires a lot of talent. If you can do it, you can do it. If you don’t, you can’t do it.
In college, many students are forced to become credit actuaries, calculating one credit at a time, not even for scholarships, but for graduation.
Computers are always very popular. For an engineering student like Fu Xize, his competitors are all top scorers and contestants from various places. Fu Xize is a bit lazy. He is either sleeping or dating. I have never seen him studying.
Admittedly, Xin Ai knew that in their previous life, Fu Xize was the one who successfully graduated, but in this life, Xin Ai and Fu Xize fell in love, which somewhat changed Fu Xize's original fate.
Xin Ai didn’t know what Fu Xize was like in college in his previous life. What if he was particularly diligent and focused because he didn’t have a relationship?
Whether you admit it or not, love can still distract people. It’s just that the top students have strong time management skills. They love well when they are in love and study hard when they are studying, and they don’t let love affect their studies.
As for Fu Xize, Xin Ai didn't know what type he was, and she was also somewhat worried that dating her would affect Fu Xize's studies.
Xin Ai always felt that academic study was very important. He had always been upset about not completing his studies in his previous life, and he didn't want Fu Xize to repeat his fate.
Fortunately, Xin Ai also has his own way. He and Fu Xize went to famous schools. Many of his seniors from junior high and high school are in his school, and there are also many people studying popular majors like computer science. After asking some people, Xin Ai found out the test questions from previous years. Universities generally focus more on research and less on teaching, and the test questions are almost the same every year.
Xin Ai printed out the papers and gave them to Fu Xize, asking him to try to do them.
During evening self-study, Fu Xize wrote the questions quickly.
Xin Ai had a laptop and a pile of books in front of him. He was reading while writing his paper. When Fu Xize finished a paper, Xin Ai would help him check the answers.
Then, I didn’t know what to say.
This guy only studied a little in the past two days. He flipped through the book and did the advanced mathematics papers from the previous two years. He got full marks every time.
This god of sleep is definitely a hidden god of learning.
That’s right, he slept throughout high school, but still got into a prestigious computer science university, didn’t he?
Xin Ai pushed up his glasses and said, "You have no problem with math. Try doing a set of physics later. If you have no problems with these, we will skip the subjects you are good at and start reviewing general courses such as "History of Socialist Development" and "Situation and Policy."
Fu Xize nodded obediently, but deep down he was resistant to these general education courses and couldn't understand anything they taught him.
It happened to be a break between classes, and Xin Ai couldn't help but tilt her head and study Fu Xize: "Have you learned advanced mathematics? Or is your talent all in science?"
Fu Xize considered his words: "I have learned a little bit."
Xin Ai looked at him quietly, waiting for his next words.
Fu Xize explained: "My Chinese is not very good. It was okay in elementary and junior high school. The content was relatively simple, and I could score more than 70 out of 100. In high school, Chinese became very difficult, and I could only barely pass. My Chinese score has been stable at more than 90 throughout my senior year of high school. In our university, you need 690+ to be admitted and choose your major. In other words, I had better not lose points in English, mathematics, and comprehensive subjects, or lose 3 to 5 points at most, otherwise I can only go to study in other places."
"I have to study computer science in college. I have some basic knowledge in computer science, so it will be easier for me to graduate without worrying about my studies. Besides, I will work in this field in the future."
"For computer science, the score is not low no matter which university you go to. If the score is low, you will be transferred."
"In order to raise my scores, that is, to ensure that my English, math, and comprehensive scores were as close to full marks as possible, I learned a lot of college content in high school."
"But my grades are still a little unstable. I have already planned to study in Shanghai."
"The college entrance examination results are out, and I did quite well. I scored over 100 in Chinese, and only lost five points in other subjects."
Xin Ai suddenly thought of something and asked, "Math 149 missed a step, right?"
Fu Xize replied: "Yes, I feel that no matter how careful I am, I will still lose some points, even if I really want to get full marks in the subjects I am good at."
Xin Ai thought Fu Xize's science-oriented thinking was quite interesting, and he couldn't help asking, "Have you ever thought about raising your Chinese score a little bit?"
Fu Xize said quietly, "Is it possible that for some people, it is more difficult to get a slight improvement in Chinese than to get full marks in other subjects?"
Xin Ai laughed and said, "But you can't even recite the poem correctly."
Fu Xize asked: "Who said that? Who is slandering me?"
Xin Ai chuckled and replied, "A lot of people say that. Your Chinese is so bad that everyone in the school knows it."
Fu Xize thought carefully about his senior year in high school and said, "It was only a few times when I didn't keep silent, right?"
Xin Ai raised her eyebrows: "How many times?!"
Shouldn't you get all the easy-to-scoring questions right every time?
The above question was raised by someone who never lost points in reciting poems from memory since childhood.
Fu Xize smiled, and felt that he was a bit of a fool for not being able to memorize a poem correctly. He changed the subject: "I am still very grateful for the division of subjects into arts and sciences. My grades improved a lot after the division. In the first year of high school, I basically had to go to the fourth, fifth, or sixth examination room. It mainly depended on the difficulty of math, physics, and chemistry. If it was harder, my ranking would be better, and if it was easier, my ranking would be very bad. After the division of subjects, I was able to go to the first examination room."
Nowadays, schools emphasize quality education and do not do ranking. However, you can tell the ranking by looking at the examination room during the monthly exam. Fu Xize moved from being ranked over a hundred to being in the top 20 or 30 by relying on subject division, which is really a qualitative leap.
Xin Ai recalled the situation at that time: "I did see you often in the first examination room."
Fu Xize said: "You are the one in front, and I am the one at the end."
Xin Ai replied: "I am not biased towards any subject."
Fu Xize said: "You are very strong in every subject."
Xin Ai thinks that it’s mainly because of his strong genes: “My family has strong genes, and I’m very good at inheriting them. My dad is an engineering student, and my mom is strong in liberal arts. I inherited their strengths, and I’m good at both liberal arts and science.”
After a pause, he added, "My dad studied civil engineering and architecture. He is very good at drawing engineering drawings. He doesn't need a ruler. The lines are straight and the lengths are accurate to millimeters. The key is that he never learned to draw before college. He practiced hard during college. People of his generation are really... very good and very hardworking..."
"I learned to paint because of him. He was an architect and he also took care of kids when he was young. He would draw architectural drawings and I would sit on his lap. He would draw one stroke and I would follow him. He found that I could copy his paintings very well. I was only about four years old at that time... He taught me for a while and was sure that I had talent, so he sent me to paint."
When Fu Xize listened to Xin Ai talking about his childhood, he could also feel the silent warmth in it. It was about the 26- or 27-year-old architect Shen and his child.
Shen Yu must have taught Xin Ai how to paint very carefully.
But Xin Ai changed the subject, "No, I am also biased. I have no talent for music. It's not that I haven't learned it, but I just can't understand it at all."
Fu Xize immediately laughed: "I know you learned the violin."
Xin Ai recalled that time and laughed: "During those two years, my family was in chaos because of me."
Fu Xize was puzzled: "Huh?"
Xin Ai said: "I am a very strong-willed person. If I want to learn something, I will do my best. But I don't have much talent for the violin. I can't learn it with a tutor. So I started practicing on my own. I get up before six every morning to practice."
"My dad was a mean and sarcastic man when he was young. He was very upset about being woken up so early in the morning every day. His original words were, 'It feels like I gave birth to a rooster that wakes me up so early every morning to crow.'"
Fu Xize: “…”
It's really... unrelenting.
There is also funny and humorous.
Xin Ai continued, "When I was little, I had a strong sense of self-esteem. I was already very sad that I couldn't learn the violin. When he said that, I almost cried. My mother loved me very much, so she scolded him back on my behalf, saying that the child was not yours, right? A child who was so hardworking and diligent should be encouraged. How could there be someone like you who only knew how to put others down? My father apologized to me on the spot after being scolded, but my mother didn't forgive him either. They separated for a while, and my mother came to live with me for a while."
Fu Xize was puzzled and felt like he had heard a lot of inside information: "Your parents are so loving, but they actually quarreled and separated?!"
Xin Ai smiled and said, "They were very young at that time, in their twenties or thirties. The main reason they quarreled was because of me. They had very different ideas about parenting. My mother loved me very much, and my father did not love me. He just felt that my mother obviously loved me more than him after she had me. I am my mother's biological child."
"I saw them quarreling when I was a child. I still remember my father saying to my mother almost hysterically, 'He shouldn't have your last name. Now you love him more than me.'"
"My mom burst into laughter while arguing."
"But the quarrels were all from my childhood. Now they are much more mellow and calm. The main reason is that I have grown up and I am not as clingy to my mother as I was when I was little."
“I was really a mama’s boy when I was little.”
Xin Ai occasionally recalls her childhood, filled with nostalgia and warmth.
So, in his previous life, when something happened to him, his family felt very bad, and Xin Ai felt very indebted to his parents.
Fortunately, everything will start over again and all destinies will be rewritten.
"call……"
Xin Ai let out a long breath and calmed down, otherwise he would cry easily. He began to ask Fu Xize about his past: "By the way, what about you? I feel like you slept every day during high school. What did you do at night?"
Fu Xize did not hide anything from her boyfriend. He said frankly: "I'm working."
Xin Ai was puzzled: "Huh?"
Fu Xize said, "Didn't my grandma go to Shanghai on the first day of the new year?"
Xin Ai nodded in understanding.
He had heard about this matter. It was about a first-grade junior high school kid who was abandoned for more than half a year before being discovered. The kid was discovered because the villas in their area were luxury homes with astonishing property fees, and some owners could not pay the fees.
It was at this time that the property management discovered that only a junior high school student about 11 or 12 years old was living in the villa, and the adults in the family had left long ago.
This little boy is Fu Xize.
Xin Ai knew about this at the time, and specially asked Xu You to deliver a lunch box to Fu Xize. He succeeded only once. What Xu You and the others meant was that the lunch boxes at their house were so bad that no one would eat them, so they should send something better.
From then on, Xin Ai could only eat the lunch boxes at home in silence.
But, obviously, in Fu Xize's view, there is another story here, his grandmother just went to Shanghai.
Fu Xize continued, "When I was in elementary school, I saved some pocket money, but it could only last for a few months. I had to make money to support myself. At first, I sold small commodities at a stall. You know, there are many college students in our area, and I usually sold them at the university after class."
"But I couldn't make much money from setting up a stall, and it was not stable. Later, I heard from somewhere that computers were very profitable. I thought it was not a good idea to set up a stall all the time, so I bought some second-hand books from school and started to teach myself computers. I still had a computer at home, so I slowly practiced programming with the help of the computer at home, and started to take jobs online. Anyway, it took me a long time, one or two years, before I could barely support myself by taking private jobs online, making a few hundred thousand yuan a month."
"It was much better when I got to high school, but it was still very busy. Basically, as soon as I got home, I had to sit in front of the computer and write programs until 11 or 12 o'clock. Sometimes I had to stay up until 2 or 3 o'clock. This is how it is in this industry. There is nothing I can do about it."
"I am a long sleeper. Throughout middle school, I felt like I didn't get enough sleep and was starving every day."
Xin Ai tilted her head to look at Fu Xize, and always felt that he was excellent: "You are really amazing. If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't be able to do what you did."
Fu Xize shook his head: "No, you won't fall into that situation. If you really fall into that situation, you will definitely do better."
Xin Ai said nothing.
There was only one suffering in his life. He tried to struggle, but that suffering eventually defeated him.
Perhaps only Fu Xize still believed that he would get better, even though Xin Ai himself did not believe it.
Of course, this was all in the past life.
Xin Ai was slightly moved. Just as she was about to say something, the class bell rang. Xin Ai said, "Study now. Do the physics paper quickly."
Fu Xize: “…”
I don't want to study, I just want to chat.
The stress of exam week only makes you want to fall in love more.
Probably only a tough guy like Xin Ai can concentrate on studying instead of slacking off in class.
Fu Xize... he would find it interesting to talk with Xin Ai about their past, and you would feel that he is more real.
*
During the exam week, even Fu Xize became very serious. He was able to study hard, but he had no motivation before because he had no ties or worries. Now that he is in a relationship and has a boyfriend, he has become very responsible. He has to make sure that Xin Ai will not regret following him.
After the exam week, it’s Double Eleven.
Exam week had just passed, so there was no academic pressure for the time being. It also happened to be a large shopping festival, so Xin Ai's two roommates hadn't slept yet and turned on their computers to start shopping at midnight.
Xin Ai had everything she needed, but thinking that this was Double Eleven in 2013, she couldn't help but join in the fun and bought some beef jerky snacks for Fu Xize to eat when he was hungry.
The Double Eleven in 2013 was far from the routines that came later, with all kinds of live broadcast rooms and various coupons for discounts, which made people dizzy.
Merchants nowadays either give out large coupons, or offer 50% off, or buy one get one free. They are so generous that it is scary.
Xin Ai originally just wanted to buy some beef jerky, but in the end she couldn't help but buy a lot.
Too cheap.
Don’t buy it, you’ll lose money.
In 2013, people were still worried about whether the things sold online were fake, but this year many brands have entered Tmall, flagship stores are directly shipped by manufacturers, and JD.com’s self-operated stores are also quite reliable.
I bought a lot from Xin Ai’s Tmall flagship store and JD.com, so it’s not a big problem.
After Xin Ai bought all the miscellaneous items, she suddenly thought of something. Seeing that her two roommates were so absorbed in shopping that they didn't notice her, Xin Ai began to search for various bedding items.
Even though he has a frigid personality and isn't very good in bed, he still has to prepare. He can't just hold back when the action is already on the line. So, he searched on Taobao furtively like browsing porn sites, but in the end he didn't know which one to buy.
These things were prepared by Fu Xize in my previous life.
In this life...do I have to let him come?
Am I being a little too impatient? Do I look like an old 30-year-old who can't wait?
Hmm, I don’t seem to know Fu Xize’s exact size?
Oh, I had used it for a long time in my previous life, but Fu Xize did all these by himself. He just had to lie down and it was OK.
Xin Ai thought about it and decided to leave it to Fu Xize. He opened Fu Xize's WeChat and typed: "My dear, are you shopping?"
Fu Xize found that since the "consecration ceremony" that day, Xin Ai called me "beloved concubine" very fluently and sweetly. I am the crown princess, and this recognition of identity is pleasant. But in the middle of the night, Fu Xize asked with concern: "Are you still awake?"
Xin Ai said: "No, didn't I just finish the exam? Let's indulge ourselves."
Fu Xize smiled. He found that Xin Ai was not the kind of person who was self-disciplined to the point of being almost rigid. He asked, "What do you want to buy?"
Xin Ai hinted weakly, "It's on sale recently, come and buy it."
Fu Xize thought it was natural to clear out her boyfriend's shopping cart, so he replied, "Sure, what do you want to buy?"
Xin Ai was quite embarrassed, feeling that there was a sexual implication. His face flushed slightly, and he said simply: "Bedding."
Fu Xize agreed immediately: "Oh, OK."
After that, he asked again: "Where to send it?"
Xin Ai said confidently: "How dare you send it to me?"
Fu Xize thought about it and agreed that it was right that he had to come and pick up the package.
So, he turned on the computer and researched... bedding. Thinking about the 1.8-meter-high bedding he had bought before, and Fu Xize bought another 1.8-meter-high bedding, he didn't doubt why Xin Ai asked him to buy bedding. It was almost winter, and it was normal to buy new bedding. The Double Eleven promotion was super cheap.
Fu Xize placed the order on JD.com. He was local in Beijing, so the logistics was very fast and it arrived the next morning.
At noon, when they went to the cafeteria to eat, Fu Xize told Xin Ai about this: "By the way, your food has arrived."
Xin Ai was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect it to happen so soon, he had a feeling that Fu Xize was more anxious than him. Besides, this kind of thing shouldn't be discussed privately on WeChat, it's not appropriate to talk about it in public. But thinking about it, Fu Xize has indeed been a lot bolder recently, hugging him and kissing him in various ways. It's exam week and they are both very busy and don't have time to kiss and cuddle, so it's normal for him to want to be affectionate with him for a while.
Xin Ai thought for two seconds and said, "Take a quick look at the package. If you're sure there's nothing wrong with it, I'll leave it with you first."
Fu Xize had no objection: "Okay."
Fu Xize didn't care about such trivial matters as leaving the package with him. An art student like Xin Ai had too many things and the dormitory couldn't fit them all.
After lunch, Fu Xize sent Xin Ai back to the dormitory and then went to the express delivery point to pick up the package.
He received quite a lot of express deliveries, including the bedding he ordered himself and those ordered by Xin Ai.
Fu Xize is tall and strong with great strength, so he has no pressure in picking up the express delivery.
Back in the dormitory, Fu Xize took some photos and sent a message to Xin Ai: "Are these all yours?"
Xin Ai replied: "I bought these especially for you. They are all snacks. If you can't finish them, share them with your roommates."
Fu Xize felt inexplicably sweet in his heart. His boyfriend was really good. He had never thought of buying snacks for his boyfriend on Double Eleven. He made a point to remember it in the future. He thanked him: "Thank you."
The two chatted for a while, and Xin Ai wanted to take a nap, so Fu Xize ended the message and started to open the express package, which contained a bunch of snacks, nuts, beef jerky, pork jerky, kelp, etc. Xin Ai even bought him a box of milk.
I definitely won’t be able to finish it in a short while.
Fu Xize opened a piece of beef jerky and tasted it. It was a brand from Inner Mongolia. The moisture was just right and it was a little chewy but not sticky. It was delicious. His boyfriend had obviously picked the best-selling one to buy for him.
Fu Xize tasted it briefly and then distributed it to his roommates and even classmates in the next dormitory.
His three roommates and other classmates all knew that he had a boyfriend, and Fu Xize’s boyfriend was indeed impeccable.
