Qin Zhou also chose liberal arts, and Gu Bo chose science. The liberal arts and science classrooms were not on the same floor, so the two people who had been sticking together from time to time were separated.
Lan Shuang asked Qin Zhou: "Will you miss him?"
Qin Zhou said stubbornly, "What are you thinking? Is he good at studying?"
Lan Shuang raised her eyebrows: "Oh?"
Qin Zhou reached out and pushed her in. "Okay, don't worry about it, Mother Lan."
Although she didn't say it, Lan Shuang could tell from her eyes that she was still somewhat reluctant.
However, this reluctance did not last long, and was soon squeezed out by the fast-paced life of senior high school.
Senior year of high school will always be the most unforgettable year in everyone’s life, with busyness, pressure, confusion, struggle, and countless helpless cries in the middle of the night.
Success takes one year, failure takes one year.
I go to morning self-study before dawn and go home under the stars. The desk lamp is on until the early morning and it takes over from the sun, only then do I have a chance to rest for a while.
Every day there are endless test papers to do, endless questions to practice, endless classes to attend, endless tests to take, endless nagging and encouragement to listen to, and countless tears and sadness.
A mechanical straight line between two points - school and home.
Even the most lively people became silent and taciturn when they reached their third year of high school. They could only relax for a moment after exams, when they would gather together to talk and laugh. However, they would soon be overwhelmed by the new papers. They would go to the bathroom and when they came back they would find their desks in the sea of papers.
Even the most refined person will inevitably appear decadent during this period.
For the sake of her health, Lan Shuang reduced her exercise appropriately, became less strict with her diet, and supplemented her nutrition appropriately, but she still lost a lot of weight.
After several mock exams, her grades had made a qualitative leap and she was already firmly in the top three in liberal arts.
Qin Zhou was on par with her, and the two of them went to the liberal arts class and sat at the same table. They talked about everything, helped each other, and became best friends during that time.
On the day of the 100-day oath-taking ceremony, everyone stood in the auditorium and loudly swore an oath for their dreams. At that moment, Lan Shuang didn't know why, she just felt like crying. Maybe she was shocked by the fearless youth, or maybe she was infected by the young people's passion. At that moment, she felt that she had completely become a person of this age.
Qin Zhou quickly wiped the corners of her eyes while no one was paying attention, but the moment she looked up, she met Gu Bo's gaze. Their eyes met, and Gu Bo suddenly gave her a thumbs up. Qin Zhou paused, then burst into laughter.
Lan Shuang watched from the side, smiled, took out her cell phone to secretly take a picture of the scene, and quietly sent it to Qin Zhou.
Qin Zhou was rarely shy. She printed out the photo and placed it on the bedside table, carefully suppressing her thoughts.
…
Finally, after enduring the last hundred days, Lan Shuang and the others were finally liberated.
It was a perfect morning, the early summer breeze was refreshing and lively, blowing through the treetops with a rustling sound. The fountain at the school gate, which only worked five days out of 365 days a year, finally started working.
The sound of rushing water brought a cool breeze to the ears. The senior high school students who were about to be liberated walked here together, chatting and laughing, helping to set up the tables and chairs. The director stood aside and talked quietly with the head teacher with a rare smile on his face. The cameraman kept adjusting the camera and finding the angle. Everyone was busy with their own things.
Lan Shuang and Qin Zhou came out arm in arm. The science class had just finished taking a photo and were walking back. The masculine energy of the young men was overwhelming.
Lan Shuang was a little stunned after not seeing so many boys for a long time. Qin Zhou also paused and said, "I'm a little unaccustomed to it."
Hearing this, Lan Shuang chuckled: "Don't mention it, I feel the same way."
There are always more girls than boys in the liberal arts class. Their liberal arts class is on the first floor. Everywhere you look, there are beautiful girls. I haven't seen these tall and strong boys for a long time.
The boys also looked at them curiously for a few more times, then smiled kindly, whispered a few words to each other, and then left with a shout.
"Okay, everyone, come here! Tall people stand at the back, short people stand at the front, and those who are about the same height stand at the tables in the back. Hey—don't let the girls get on the tables, you guys go up there! You're brave!"
Lan Shuang looked at her old friend who was wearing a small suit and smiled. She was very lucky that her senior year homeroom teacher was still her old friend, and he was still as popular with students as ever.
At his command, the boys immediately stood on the tables from the back. Then, row after row, everyone stood. The cameraman half-bent over and backed away little by little. After finding the right angle, he said, "Okay, teachers, come over here too—sit in the front!"
All the teachers came, dressed in colorful clothes, and sat in a row in the front, with my friend and the director in the middle.
Lao Tie tugged at his tie shyly, and the classmate behind him laughed and said, "Don't be nervous, Lao Tie, you are the most handsome!"
When this shout was made, everyone laughed. The cameraman's eyes lit up and he took the opportunity to take a picture of everyone.
"This is really the best photo I took today. Everyone's smiles are so beautiful!"
The cameraman slowly stood up, revealing the person walking up from behind.
Lan Shuang was startled, "Brother?"
Mu Yan spotted Lan Shuang in the crowd, who looked like they were copied and pasted. He curled his eyes, raised his camera, and said, "I'll take your graduation photos."
Normally, students are not allowed to bring mobile phones to school, but today is an exception. This may be the last photo they take as students in this school, so the principal waved his hand and asked all students to bring their mobile phones. They will have half a day off and can take photos if they want. After taking enough photos, they can go back for a meeting in the afternoon.
Mu Yan had given notice in advance, so he was let in.
The director and Lao Tie were also very familiar with him. For the past two years, Mu Yan had almost always been the one to preside over the parent-teacher conferences. This young man was handsome and capable, and they all admired him. Seeing him coming, Lao Tie smiled and greeted Lan Shuang: "Go ahead and take some good pictures."
Lan Shuang walked to the front and said with a smile, "Then can you take a picture of me, Lao Tie, and the director first?"
Mu Yan smiled and said, "Okay, take as many pictures as you want with whomever you want. Today I will be the little princess's exclusive photographer."
The director and Lao Tie stood on the left and right, Lan Shuang stood in the middle, with her hands behind her back and a smile on her face. Mu Yan squatted down and took pictures from bottom to top, making all three of them look tall and thin.
The girls next to him looked at him and couldn't help whispering.
"Is this Lan Shuang's brother? He's so handsome, right? But they don't look very similar."
"What's the big deal? One looks like mom and the other looks like dad. But isn't this whole family of them too good-looking?"
"With this look, she can debut right away. She's prettier than many celebrities."
In order to facilitate movement today, Mu Yan wore a dark blue cotton sportswear, which was loose but not bulky. The hat was neatly draped on the back, with two white braided straps hanging in front, making him look very youthful. The white sneakers were without any other colors, making him look clean and neat.
It just so happened that he wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, which perfectly neutralized his youthfulness. He looked somewhere between a man and a teenager, and his gentle smile made people's hearts beat fast.
