Shengxia almost ran away. When she entered the office, Fu Jie sat at her seat and called her with a smile: "Shengxia, come here."

That expression... probably nothing serious.

Fu Jie came to her to talk about self-confession, and Shengxia's tense nerves relaxed a little.

We still have to wait for news on the approval standards for publication, so we cannot relax and must prepare for the worst.

"Take advantage of the New Year holiday to catch up on the progress. If you need anything, you can contact me at any time or just send me the manuscript." Fu Jie instructed.

Shengxia said: "Well, thank you, teacher."

Fu Jie: "Your grades have improved a lot this time, you need to keep it up?"

"Well, I'll try my best."

"I have to write and review during the final period. It must be very hard, right?"

Shengxia nodded and shook her head: "Not bad."

Fu Jie whispered, "It seems that Zhang Shu is really responsible. I heard from Teacher Wang before that when you injured your leg, Zhang Shu personally promised to help you improve your grades, and he really did it."

The nerves that had been relaxed in midsummer were stretched to their limits.

This is true. Shengxia nodded: "He helped me a lot."

"Zhang Shu is indeed a good classmate," Fu Jie praised, carefully observing Sheng Xia's reaction, and smiled, "Your teacher Wang said that Sheng Xia's leg was injured and she had to run back and forth to the hospital, which must have affected her mentality. This can't go on! Do you know what Zhang Shu said?"

When I looked up in midsummer, I felt that Teacher Fu was... a little different.

"He said..." Fu Jie lowered her voice and imitated, "I will let her do it."

When Shengxia returned to the classroom, Wang Wei was standing outside with a serious look on his face.

She asked Xin Xiaohe: "Is it time to start the intimate brother time?"

"It seems so," Xin Xiaohe whispered, "Why did Fu Jie ask you to go? Is it because of Zhang Shu's matter?"

Shengxia shook her head. "No, it's just my own business."

She shifted her gaze slightly and glanced at Zhang Shu who was across the aisle.

He was doing homework and his mood was unclear.

The evening class bell rang, and Shengxia was the first to be called out.

She didn't know why she felt guilty.

Fortunately, Wang Wei spoke up and it was also about self-recruitment: "I heard from Teacher Fu that you have decided to try for self-recruitment at Henan University?"

"Well," Shengxia nodded, "Teacher, can you keep this a secret for me for now?"

Wang Wei raised his eyebrows, "Are you talking about Zhang Shu?"

"Huh?" Shengxia raised her head suddenly, feeling both panicked and confused.

Wang Wei saw her expression and knew that he was wrong. He smacked his lips and said awkwardly, "Oh, are you talking about Secretary Sheng?"

My heart is pounding in the midsummer.

Teacher Wang, what does that mean? Why did he also mention Zhang Shu...

"Well, my mother doesn't know yet," she replied.

Wang Wei asked, "Why?"

Shengxia said: "It's too far-fetched, so let's not talk about it. My grades are not stable enough. If I talk about it now, there will be many interference factors."

She stopped at the point, but Wang Wei understood.

To be honest, at such a tense time, it is too risky to spend so much energy on writing and publishing a book, which may not be successful in the end. Not to mention the parents, even he and Fu Jie think it is too risky.

Moreover, at the moment, the arrangements made by the parents seem very reliable. If one proposes to participate in self-recruitment, it will most likely be opposed and blocked.

Wang Wei said, "But maybe your father can help?"

Shengxia shook her head: "No, this is not good."

Wang Wei reminded: "It's not about breaking the rules, it's just that in a society of human relationships, within the framework, sometimes a word can make things go much more smoothly."

For example, publishing.

Shengxia lowered her head and said nothing for a long time.

Wang Wei was a little nervous. Did he say something that touched the student's sensitive point?

I only heard her whisper: "I am studying. His power has nothing to do with my studies."

Wang Wei was stunned, having forgotten there was a term called "literary pride".

"If you need any help, please tell me or Teacher Fu immediately. No matter whose daughter you are, you are our student."

Shengxia pursed her lips and nodded.

Wang Wei looked at this student who was a little too well-behaved, and suddenly felt a little emotional: if he, Old Wang, could speak such profound words one day, he would look at himself with new eyes!

"You have made great progress in this exam. You should summarize the reasons and keep working hard!" Wang Wei encouraged.

Shengxia still nodded.

Wang Wei: "Zhang Shu, he——"

Hearing this, the girl raised her head again, her eyes sparkling.

Wang Wei was a little speechless. Should these two be so obvious? If they continue like this, he will be really worried!

"Zhang Shu didn't do very well in the exam this time. You two should encourage each other and make progress together, right?"

It feels like midsummer. Why is Teacher Wang's tone so unnatural?

Apart from nodding, she seemed unable to make any other response.

"Well, go ahead, keep going!"

After Shengxia returned to the classroom, Wang Wei did not call Zhang Shu out according to the previous order, but called someone else.

Those who were waiting for gossip in the classroom were a little disappointed.

Probably because the results had just been released, everyone was a bit impatient. Few people in the class were seriously reviewing, and everyone was chatting in low voices everywhere.

Xin Xiaohe caught up with Shengxia and asked, "What did Lao Wang talk to you about?"

Shengxia said pickily, "Let me find the reason for my progress and keep working hard..."

"I guess it will be my turn soon..." Xin Xiaohe sighed, "I didn't reach the goal that Lao Wang set for me last time. I feel like I've reached a bottleneck."

Xin Xiaohe got similar scores in several exams. She didn't regress, but she also didn't make any breakthroughs.

Shengxia consoled him, "You are heading for the top, on a steep slope. No matter how hard you try, you will reach that speed because you are accumulating strength. Only when you suddenly reach the top will you be seen. It should be almost there, probably in just one move!"

Xin Xiaohe made a crying face and threw herself into Shengxia's arms: "Wuwu, you are the best..."

Suddenly, Xin Xiaohe stopped, raised her head, and stared at Shengxia blankly, with a look of shock on her face: "Sister, you are so soft..."

As she spoke, her eyes paused on Shengxia's chest for two seconds before lifting them up again - a mad hint that what she was talking about was soft.

The summer was suddenly ignited...

At the same time, Xin Xiaohe noticed that Zhang Shu, who was concentrating on doing questions across the aisle, suddenly looked up at her with a very - complicated look in his eyes.

From doubt to understanding, then with a little evasion, then started to be unfriendly, and finally became a kind of warning.

No matter how carefree Xin Xiaohe was, she was still a girl at heart. She felt embarrassed now and quickly covered her mouth, revealing two eyes that were as big as Mr. Bean's.

Shengxia was facing Xin Xiaohe and didn't pay attention to what was behind her. She was just irritated by Xin Xiaohe's reaction of trying to cover up something.

The "confidant brother" chatted until halfway through the second evening class before he finished.

Wang Wei walked to the podium and said, "Everyone has received their final exam results. Some people worked hard and achieved good results, while others slacked off, which was clearly reflected in their results. At this stage, you should understand the importance of every exam..."

After talking about the same old stuff for about a quarter of an hour, Wang Wei suddenly asked everyone to turn off all the lights in the classroom and opened a video.

"This is the first mobilization video that the Alumni Association has sent to everyone this year. Please watch it carefully and think carefully about your goals, where you are still lacking, and how far you still have to go. I won't say much more. I hope that everyone can gain something and change tonight."

Amid the gentle music, the alumni association logo gradually appears and fades out.

Then the gate of Heqing University appeared on the screen. The camera turned and several seniors stood under the gate. They said to the camera: "This is Heqing University. I am from the High School Affiliated to Nanyang Technological University."

The scene cuts to the gate of Haiyan University. The camera turns and shows a few youthful faces. They say to the camera, "This is Haiyan University. I come from the High School Affiliated to Nanyang Technological University."

then--

"This is Dongzhou University, I come from the High School Affiliated to Nanyang Technological University..."

"This is the Southern University of Science and Technology..."

Almost the same camera movements, almost the same lines.

It covers all the key universities in the country that can be named.

The screen flashed with the school logos of major universities, the tempo became faster and faster, all the school logos formed a whole grid, all the dialogues that had been played overlapped together, forming the same sentence: I am from the High School Affiliated to Nanyang Technological University, I am waiting for you here.

Then there were the scenery shots and activity scenes of various universities. Senior students introduced their own schools in the form of a campus tour. Some of them made comments while promoting the schools. They were laughing and full of youth.

This is a university campus, and these are college students!

The class was silent, and the video was reflected in everyone's eyes and glasses.

Something was slowly rising in my heart, and Shengxia couldn't explain it.

When I heard the words "This is Heqing University", I inexplicably developed a sense of belonging.

Among so many seniors, she only remembered the appearances of those from Heqing University.

They still looked simple and clean, but were obviously different from those sitting in the classroom.

What brings about the transformation in a year?

Shengxia felt as if there was some warmth approaching from the right, but she was too focused to pay much attention.

Suddenly, she felt a breath blowing by her ear, and heard a deep voice saying, "Have you decided which university you want to apply to?"

In midsummer, my earlobes feel numb.

The sound paused, and Shengxia felt that her hand, which was casually placed on her knees, was picked up by someone and the fingertips were moving around.

She looked down subconsciously, and in the darkness, a slender hand with distinct knuckles passed through hers, interlocking their fingers.

The same voice was still in my ear, saying, "Do you want to go to the river banquet together?"

Shengxia's heart skipped a beat before she came to her senses and turned her head abruptly.

Zhang Shu's face was very close, the light and shadow of the screen flickered clearly on his face, and his eyes were particularly bright in the dark night.

them……

them……

They stared at each other in the dark room and whispered in the silence.

As far as Shengxia could see, everything around her seemed to have vanished, and there were only her and him in the dark classroom.

Is he talking about the River Feast?

Can she?

Can she do it?

The video was still playing, but Shengxia could no longer hear anything. She could only hear her own heartbeat and the words -

"I'll let her do it."

She obviously didn't hear him say it in person, but at this moment, in her mind, it gradually became his slightly frivolous but determined voice -

I'll let her do it.

The nearly ten-minute video ended, the lights came on, and the class was silent. Everyone looked at each other, some smiled, some looked melancholy, all immersed in a kind of longing.

Shengxia looked at the boy who had returned to his seat, feeling a little dazed - just now, when the whole class was concentrating on watching the video, did he talk to her?

The little bit of temperature that remained on her fingertips, which did not belong to her, told her the answer.
