56. Midterm exam is coming
Xu Wenqiang followed Xiao Cheng out of the night market in a daze. After getting a little further away from the hustle and bustle, she came to her senses.
"Xiao Cheng."
"What's wrong?"
Xiao Cheng stopped and let go of Xu Wenqiang's hand.
"It's okay." Xu Wenqiang shook her head. The hand that Xiao Cheng had held was blown by the wind, and the palm of her hand felt empty.
"Let's go, I'll take you home." Xiao Cheng said as he walked forward.
Xu Wenqiang stood there without moving.
Xiao Cheng walked forward a few steps and found that Xu Wenqiang did not follow him. He turned around and found that Xu Wenqiang was looking at him from a distance.
From a few meters away, Xu Wenqiang looked at Xiao Cheng, and many scenes flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern, each of which showed Xiao Cheng by her side. In the end, everything faded away, and only Xiao Cheng, standing not far away, remained in her eyes.
This time, Xiao Cheng appeared at the right time again.
Xiao Cheng waited quietly until Xu Wenqiang walked towards him.
Xu Wenqiang walked up to Xiao Cheng and asked him, "Xiao Cheng, your presence here is not a coincidence, right?"
The expression on Xu Wenqiang's face was like a sticker that said, "I know everything, you don't have to hide it from me." Xiao Cheng said, "Can't you just treat it as a chance encounter?"
"Then I'd be heartless," Xu Wenqiang said. "The night market is full of people. It's so hard to find someone!"
"It's not that difficult." Xiao Cheng said calmly.
Xu Wenqiang curled her lips, "Then how did you find this place?"
"Fang Zishuo didn't want to see you, but was afraid that you would wait in vain, so he asked Xing Jiaqi for your phone number. Xing Jiaqi didn't have it, so she came to me. I didn't have it either, so I came here directly." Xiao Cheng said.
"So complicated?" Xu Wenqiang was stunned.
"It's not that complicated." Xiao Cheng still looked calm.
Xu Wenqiang couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Cheng, are you afraid that I will pester you to repay your kindness, so you are so calm?"
Xiao Cheng: "That seems to be the case."
Xu Wenqiang: ...
The two walked to the front of the motorcycle. Xiao Cheng handed the helmet to Xu Wenqiang and asked casually, "Xu Wenqiang, did you know that Fang Zishuo would not come?" That's why she was full of energy from beginning to end.
"Well, I knew he wouldn't come, so I asked him out." Xu Wenqiang took the helmet. "If he doesn't come this time, he won't be able to bother me again in the future."
Xiao Cheng: "It sounds like you don't have any thoughts about him either."
Xu Wenqiang: "Could it be that you think I have any feelings for him?"
Two people stood, one at the front and the other at the back of the car, each holding a helmet and looking at each other.
"Could it be that you put that ugly doll on me and sang to me because you thought I would be sad, so you were trying to cheer me up?" Xu Wenqiang realized it belatedly and exclaimed in surprise.
Xiao Cheng put the helmet on his head and got on the motorcycle, "Get on."
Xu Wenqiang put on her helmet and got in the car, "Xiao Cheng, I guess I'll really pester you to repay your kindness."
Xiao Cheng's voice came from the helmet, "If you really want to repay me, I'll consider it."
Xu Wenqiang: ...
Fang Zishuo didn't show up again for the next few days. Like Xing Jiaqi, he appeared briefly and then disappeared without a trace.
Xu Wenqiang initially ignored the insinuations of someone trying to get to know her. Then, Wu Ruixue, a classmate, asked sarcastically, "Xu Wenqiang, how did you offend Fang Zishuo? Have you ever thought about it?"
Hearing this, Xu Wenqiang said with great regret, "I've thought about it. He must have smelled the fishy odor on me. Wu Ruixue, what do you think?"
"How would I know? I still need to go to the bathroom." Wu Ruixue left in a hurry.
After that, no one asked anymore.
The peaceful days always pass quickly, and before I knew it, it was the day of the midterm exam.
Two weeks before the midterm exam, the teacher no longer taught new lessons in class. Instead, he reviewed key content, and evening self-study classes every night were mainly focused on review.
For Xu Wenqiang, the results of the midterm exam also involved a "bet" between her, Xiao Cheng, Wang Rui and Fu Dongqing.
If she could rank in the top 20 in the midterm exam, she could continue to be Wang Rui's math class representative. If she failed, she would have to accept the loss and return the math class representative position to Xiao Cheng.
When they made this bet, she and Xiao Cheng still disliked each other, but two months later, they were already discussing "committing themselves to each other." It felt a bit like fate playing tricks on them.
A week before the exam, Fu Dongqing called Xu Wenqiang to his office.
Xu Wenqiang knew that Fu Dongqing's decision to contact her at this critical moment must be related to the "bet" on the midterm exam. He was probably reminding her that after the midterm exam, her unjustifiable position as the math class representative would come to an end.
Thinking about it, it was not easy for Fu Dongqing to tolerate her for so long, so Xu Wenqiang was prepared for her to sneer at her.
"Xu Wenqiang, how are you preparing for the midterm exam?" As expected, Fu Dongqing came straight to the point.
Xu Wenqiang said: "Teacher, I have tried my best."
"What's wrong? You look so weak." Fu Dongqing was not satisfied with Xu Wenqiang's answer. "Shouldn't we try our best?"
Xu Wenqiang quickly apologized with a smile, "Teacher, I still need to save some energy for the exam."
Fu Dongqing glanced at her and continued, "I know you've been under some pressure as the math class representative, but you've persevered. You're great."
Xu Wenqiang was stunned. Was this a compliment? She wasn't sure, so she just grinned and didn't say anything.
Fu Dongqing continued, "I don't know much about other subjects, but are you studying physics on your own?"
Xu Wenqiang was shocked and said, "Teacher, I just flipped through the textbook when I had free time. It can't be considered self-study."
"You don't have to be so modest." Fu Dongqing glanced at Xu Wenqiang. "The last question in the mock test we did a few days ago required material from the second half of the semester, but you managed to solve it. I'm very surprised."
The word "surprise" made Xu Wenqiang feel a little flattered. "Teacher, I was just lucky and got it right."
"Xu Wenqiang, don't use 'good luck' to insult your diligence and hard work." Fu Dongqing said seriously, "You worked hard, so what's so shameful about admitting it?"
Xu Wenqiang quickly said, "Teacher, I remember it. I won't do it again."
"Xu Wenqiang, I am very much looking forward to your midterm exam results. Don't let me down." Fu Dongqing said finally.
After coming out of Fu Dongqing's office, Xu Wenqiang shuddered.
Xu Wenqiang was bewildered and overwhelmed by Fu Dongqing's sudden attention and concern. Half the semester had already passed, and she was acting like this before the exam, trying to throw her off balance and completely fail?
