In sunny August, the sun hangs high in the sky.
Since the dog days of summer, the temperature has not dropped for a long time. The scorching ground on the road outside makes the air distorted. Going to school for military training at this time makes people feel discouraged just thinking about it.
Unfortunately, there is no way around it. Military training in high school is compulsory and every freshman must participate.
Waiting hall.
Wei Lai and Qing Ting guarded their luggage together. They looked up at the situation outside and began to worry about their future.
"What are you looking at?" Qingting moved her eyes away from the phone screen and turned to look at him.
"It's nothing. Did you bring sunscreen?" Wei Lai shook his head and turned the topic to Qingting.
It was still spring when she took the physical education exam, and she was already tanned. If she hadn't used sunscreen, she would probably have turned into a dark girl.
You will become a black girl.
A hint of pouting flashed across Qingting's face, then turned into a smile in an instant, "Of course, I brought not only mine, but also yours."
As she spoke, Qingting put her cell phone on her thigh and took out two bottles of sunscreen, one red and one blue, from the suitcase beside her.
"It's the same brand. I'll use the red one myself and the blue one is for you." Qingting handed the blue sunscreen in her hand to Wei Lai.
Wei Lai took a look and couldn't help but look very embarrassed. "Xiaoting, I have no objection to you buying me sunscreen, but why women's?"
"Maybe it's because the store is having a buy one get one free promotion. I bought a women's item, so naturally she gave me a women's item as a gift."
“…” Wei Lai fell silent.
[I am just an incidental part after all.]
"Just believe me when I tell you this. I picked it especially for you." Qingting grabbed Wei Lai's hand holding the sunscreen and pointed out the instructions on the sunscreen to him.
"Look, this sunscreen not only protects against the sun, but it also controls oil, absorbs sweat, is waterproof, hydrates, whitens, conceals blemishes, and sets makeup. It's much better than your men's sunscreen."
It would have been fine if he hadn't said it, but after he did, Wei Lai became even more speechless.
"I can tolerate it if it's hydrating and whitening, but what the hell is concealing and setting makeup? I have blemishes on my face, but I still like to wear makeup." Wei Lai carefully read the instructions. "It also says it's especially suitable for oily skin, and I have oily skin."
Qingting leaned forward, took a closer look at Wei Lai's face, and poked it with her finger. "It's not oily now, but it's hard to say after sweating."
"I understand. I accept your kindness." Wei Lai pushed Qingting's hand away. He felt really uncomfortable being looked at so closely by her. He quickly stuffed the sunscreen Su Shuang into the suitcase and ended the topic.
"So, you have to take things seriously. For example, sunscreen doesn't differentiate between men and women; it only looks at the skin." Qingting shrank back in her seat and continued looking at her phone.
"I see. You're the only one who cares about these things. Who among boys would care about cosmetics?" Wei Lai responded casually. He was at the prime of his life, so why would he care about this?
The topic ended, and Wei Lai wanted to pick up his new phone to see if the novel he was following had been updated, when suddenly another voice came out.
"Xiaoting! Wei Lai!"
Tong Duoduo appeared at the entrance of the waiting hall, dragging a large suitcase behind her.
I wanted to run towards them, but I stumbled and my heel hit the wheel of the suitcase. The pain was so severe that I had to tiptoe towards them.
Qingting and Wei Lai looked at each other and felt very strange. Tong Duoduo never told them that she was going to study at Mianhai High School, so why did she appear here?
"I haven't seen you for over a month, and you're still the same, so close wherever you go."
Walking to Qingting's side, Tong Duoduo pushed her suitcase away and sat down, blocked by the two suitcases. She took off her shoes and began to rub her heels through her pink socks.
"Duoduo, where are you going? Do you want to travel before school starts?" Qingting asked curiously.
"No, I want to go to Mianhai High School too." Tong Duoduo rubbed her feet and when she found that the pain was gone, she put on her shoes and said excitedly, "Xiaoting, maybe we can still be roommates."
"Can we continue to be roommates? Let's put this matter aside for now. How did you get into Mianhai High School?" Qingting was puzzled by this. Tong Duoduo's grades were not bad, but they were only above average. Unless she performed exceptionally well in the high school entrance examination, it would be very risky for her to enroll in Mianhai High School.
When it comes to high school registration, you must first register through the new student registration channel on the official website of Mianhai High School and wait for a call after the review is passed. During this period, if you are not selected and there is no call asking you to go to the school to register, you can turn around and register for other schools. Once the registration time for that school has passed, you may only be able to choose a slightly worse school.
"Well... I'll tell you honestly, I bought it in." Tong Duoduo felt a little aggrieved when she mentioned her high school entrance examination scores. When she said she wanted to go to Mianhai High School, her mother was happy and said she would help her no matter what.
But when the high school entrance examination results came out, I was still more than ten points away from the admission score of Mianhai High School, and even the score line for buying points was just reached.
If she buys it, it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. She was not happy when she knew it. She and her mother had experienced hard times and knew that it was not easy for her mother to make money. She felt very sorry for her.
[My score was enough to get into No. 1 Middle School, but it still cost hundreds of thousands. If I had known, I wouldn't have told my mom.]
When Tong Duoduo was feeling upset, a hand gently patted her on the shoulder to comfort her.
"You've spent a lot of money, so you should make up your mind to study hard and not spend as much money as your mother spent on you."
"Well, Xiaoting, you're right. If my mother's money is wasted, it will be more than just a matter of getting hurt."
