Chapter 33 Chapter 33 It's Summer Again
2014/6/15
"So greedy, I want both the future and you."
——Xu Renren's Diary
After the conversation that day, Xu Sui went straight home with Zhou Xianzhi and did not return to the classroom.
The shadows of the two people were lengthened by the dim lights on the roadside of the mountain city. Summer had arrived. The evening breeze blew across their faces, hot and dry, making people unbearable. Xu Sui paid attention to his feet and walked in alternating deep and shallow steps.
"Girl." She was walking down the stone steps when she suddenly heard her grandfather's voice. Perhaps it was too late and he sounded a little tired. Before Xu Sui could respond, the old man started talking to himself.
"If not."
"Let's transfer schools. No. 8 Middle School or Nankai University. You choose one."
The old man's voice was not loud, and it came into her ears along with the wind. She was stunned at the time and suddenly looked up at her grandfather.
I thought I had to look up very hard to see his face, but suddenly I found that I could almost look into my grandfather's eyes. I was surprised and reluctant for a moment, and then I quietly lost my temper.
She was walking behind the old man. She had a calm personality and rarely got too emotional, but suddenly she didn't want to talk anymore. It wasn't because she was angry, but she felt a little helpless.
After thinking about it again and again, I found that there seems to be no better way than this.
After a while, Xu Sui asked in a muffled voice, "Is it better to change schools halfway through?"
Hearing her ask this, Zhou Xianzhi knew she agreed to this plan, and his tone was noticeably more relaxed: "Don't worry about that. Just tell me which one you want to transfer to. There are still more than two months left, so think about it carefully."
Xu Sui turned his face away, wondering what he was thinking about.
In no mood.
She didn't want to transfer schools, didn't want to be separated from Xu Zhiyao and Jiang Changjia, didn't want to adapt to a new environment, didn't want to meet new classmates, and didn't want to...
Can't see him.
In fact, Xu Sui looked more at his thin back and his occasionally tense jaw than his face. His eyes outlined his features, and his imagination formed his appearance and expression.
Like someone.
I just watch him from afar, wishing him well and a smooth journey. Occasionally, I follow behind his shadow, lowering my head and looking down. You don’t know how much I like you, but the wind in the mountain city knows.
I like the way you are.
You are the joy of my youth and the sorrows and joys of the four seasons.
Xu Sui clenched his fists and quickly thought of a better method in his mind, a method that would hurt the enemy by a thousand and hurt himself by eight hundred.
**
The news was well blocked.
The students in No. 1 Middle School only knew that a police officer came that afternoon, and the students in Class 1 only knew that Xu Sui was called away by Zhao Jianhua in the evening of that day.
Perhaps some of them would have some doubts, wondering how it could be such a coincidence, how could Zhao Jianhua come to call people at that exact moment.
Xu Sui also came to school after a few days of rest, but under the manipulation of a small group consisting of Jiang Changjia, Zhang Wenjun, Xie Zhuoyuan and others, the rumor turned into "Xu Sui failed the midterm exam and Lao Zhao wanted to talk to her."
Then everything returned to normal and everything was calm.
The only big news was that a very famous girl in Class Four dropped out of school, but the students in Class One didn't have that much time to pay attention to so many things other than studying, let alone to inquire about someone who had nothing to do with them.
"Damn, I was thinking of blocking her with Yin Shu tomorrow after school. Why did she run so fast?" Jiang Changjia pinched the doll in his hand, rolled his eyes, and said contemptuously.
Zhang Wenjun stood beside her desk, his voice weak and gloomy: "Poor Sui Sui, such an independent and strong sister Sui, such a well-behaved Sui Sui, these women are really abominable. Why only punish that one person? Let's go and stop the others."
When he said this, his eyes lit up and he pinched the doll on Jiang Changjia's desk.
"Do you know who they are? No one knows except Sui Sui, and Sui Sui definitely doesn't know their names." He leaned on the table and shook his head.
"No, Mr. Zhang, go find out where she's hiding."
As soon as Jiang Changjia finished speaking, he heard a light sneer, with the usual contemptuous feeling. Jiang Changjia frowned and looked up at Jiang Song who was walking over, and said with a bad face: "What are you sneering at?"
"You're so stupid! Do you really think he's still in Chongqing? Who knows, he might be in some remote corner of the country now."
Jiang Song threw his schoolbag onto the table and squeezed in through the small gap left by Jiang Changjia. He played games too much yesterday, so he asked for leave for morning self-study and didn't come.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Changjia's already big eyes widened even more.
The words slipped around his lips, but Jiang Song suddenly swallowed them back, realizing that he couldn't talk about this casually, otherwise it would cause trouble for others. So he said vaguely: "Isn't this being strictly investigated by the higher-ups? This is a rip-off. If I run into the government, they will definitely not forgive me. If I don't hide, I'll be caught. How can I be so stupid?"
This seemed reasonable and logical, so Jiang Changjia and Zhang Wenjun believed it.
"Why hasn't Sui Sui come yet? I really miss her." Jiang Changjia stared at Xu Sui's empty seat in a daze and sighed.
Xu Sui came back before the evening self-study class that day. The sky had darkened and the sunset glow appeared in the sky. Its color changed as time passed, and finally disappeared, turning into night.
It was during the first evening self-study class break. Everyone went to the toilet, poured water, or went to other classes.
Therefore, Xu Sui did not seem so out of place in this chaos, and not many people noticed her. Only Shu Siyun suddenly raised her head and looked at Xu Sui's back, as if thinking about something.
When Xu Sui passed by Song Shiyang's seat, he was catching up on his sleep, lying on the table with his left hand on the table and his right hand around his neck resting on his left ear, making his hand joints very prominent.
She slowed down her pace as she passed by, took advantage of the gap between her bangs to glance at him, then quickly looked away and sat down.
The back of the chair and his desk inevitably touched each other and made a noise. Xu Sui's back stiffened. After a few seconds, he slowly turned around and found that he was still in the same posture. He then breathed a sigh of relief.
Turning his head, he met the curious gaze of his deskmate. Xu Sui almost thought that the scar on his face had not healed yet. He subconsciously touched his face and then let it go.
"What...what happened?" Xu Sui looked at the girl and asked.
"Nothing, just taking a look." The girl was caught peeking and felt a little embarrassed for a moment. She smiled a little awkwardly and turned her head away.
Xu Sui was stunned. He could guess what she was curious about, but he didn't intend to explain.
Jiang Changjia had already told her about this on the phone. They just had to believe this explanation. If they didn't, no other news would come out.
To be honest, Xu Sui felt it was unbelievable when he learned that Li Ling had dropped out of school, because judging by their tone and momentum that day, they were determined not to compromise. Why did she suddenly leave school, and use the word "drop out"?
It means that the school forced her to drop out, rather than her voluntary transfer, but that day.
Isn’t it said that the mayor is her uncle?
Xu Sui was a little confused for a moment, as many parts of it didn't make sense logically.
Xu Sui stopped thinking about it when she couldn't figure it out. Now she just wanted to know why Li Ling felt that she had taken her place.
Because the results of the high school entrance examination were not announced, no one except Zhao Jianhua knew that she was the last one to enter the class, and in several major exams, she did not show the level of the last one.
So she shouldn't be so sure that she took her place.
His eyes were as dark and gloomy as the night outside the window.
After glancing at Chen Yue not far away, and then at the figure in the next group, Xu Sui closed his eyes.
The second class started again, and the English teacher taught a test on grammar.
Xu Sui bent down to look for the test paper in the drawer and found that the papers for each subject had been classified and sorted together. They were not piled up on the table, but were stacked together in a very organized and neat manner. So Xu Sui immediately found the test paper that the teacher was teaching in this class.
But she didn't take it too seriously, thinking about saying thank you to Jiang Changjia after class.
**
This incident was like a small stone that suddenly fell on the calm water. It came suddenly and went suddenly. After making a noise on the water, it sank to the bottom of the water. Except for a few waves at the beginning, it disappeared without a trace.
Song Shiyang made up for all the knowledge points that he had missed for a few days in one evening, and also adjusted his learning focus.
She still remembers that night. The boy's figure was as thin as a pine tree. His facial features and expression could not be seen clearly under the light from the corridor, but the overall impression he gave was solemn, and he seemed unhappy.
He wrote down all the problems that appeared in Xu Sui's midterm test paper, down to the specific knowledge points in that chapter of the math book. He pointed out where mistakes were easy to make and where concepts were easily confused, and then developed solutions.
The moment the school bell rang, the whole building erupted in activity, the sounds of schoolbag chains being tugged at echoing throughout. Amidst the ceaseless commotion, he pursed his lips, the evening breeze blowing the hem of his clothes as he called out to her, "Xu Sui."
"Ah?" Xu Suiguan stopped writing and looked up at him.
He asked softly, "Can you fight back? English class representative."
"The group rankings really need your help." His eyes fell on a place not far away, but it seemed that he had no place to land.
Xu Sui understood the last sentence instantly and nodded emphatically, "Of course, Student Councillor."
So she took the exam several more times, and she continued to memorize words. She read the thick blue Victor vocabulary book over and over again. She memorized the liberal arts questions again and again, and practiced the science questions again and again. She no longer took shortcuts, but wrote and wrote seriously again and again.
Scores are rising, rankings are improving, and loneliness is fading.
Like a little ant, slowly and little by little, it approaches its goal.
At the end of June, Zhao Jianhua distributed the subject division forms and discussed the subject division issue with them in an extremely solemn manner.
The students in Class 1 had no hesitation about the division of subjects, because they had already made the decision in their minds. I am good at science, so I will go for it, no matter how powerful the army is, I will fight my way out; I am good at liberal arts, so I don’t care about any nonsense that liberal arts majors have difficulty finding jobs, as long as I study hard and excel, then there will be no regrets or confusion.
But the ridiculous topic of "choose the future or choose me" still surged like a tide at that age.
Young couples who really have different paths and find it difficult to make a decision are really in trouble, crying and hesitating; but for single people, this becomes a joke after dinner.
Jiang Changjia would ask Xu Sui from time to time: "Sui Sui, the future or me, which one do you choose?"
Because although Xu Sui had caught up in science, she had always had an advantage in liberal arts. Whenever she was asked this question, she would curl her lips and say seriously: "I want both you and my future."
To defeat the enemy.
