Changmeng San
They say time flies when you read a novel, but when the college entrance examination results were about to be released, Huang Yaya couldn't concentrate on reading a novel. Although her parents pretended to be calm, they were actually holding their breath.
Today's meal was as delicious as a last-minute feast. Huang Yaya had no appetite for the roasted chicken with potatoes and the braised prawns. Her life's diagnosis was about to come, and she had no idea what the result would be. Oh my god, what if she accidentally failed the test? What if she made a mistake on her answer sheet? Should she just bang her head against the wall or go back to repeat the year?
Huang Yaya planned to play games all night and check her scores at 10 o'clock the next day. She was so anxious that she couldn't eat or sleep. You know, death is not scary, waiting for death is scary!
Fortunately, she wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep that night. There was a black-and-white team in the class group, and Huang Yaya joined it. But as the game progressed, only she and Lu Renjia were left in the room. Who was Lu Renjia? He was a male classmate she didn't know very well.
She quit the game at 3 or 4 in the morning. Huang Yaya felt she would vomit if she saw the game screen again. This must be exposure therapy. She didn't want to touch this game again for a month.
Looking at "The Tyrannical Prince Pushed Me Down," which had already reached over 3,000 pages, she lost all interest. She usually complained about the lack of words, but now she felt that this novel had too many words, like the foot binding of an eldest daughter-in-law. At this time, her aunt received news from Lu Renjia. Since she couldn't sleep anyway, she continued to chat with Lu Renjia.
"Are you asleep?"
"not yet?"
"Why aren't you sleeping?"
"Wait till ten o'clock to check the results. What about you? Why don't you go to sleep?"
"I'm just like you."
"Oh oh oh."
"Do you have a favorite school?"
"It's no use aiming for Tsinghua University in Beijing. You won't get in."
"Oh, do you like listening to music?"
"like."
"What type is it?"
"It's a hodgepodge. I listen to everything."
"You're really interesting."
"I think so."
"So, do you have a boy you like?"
Seeing this, Huang Yaya was upset. Was the boy asking this a confession? Did Lu Renjia like her, have a crush on her? She was thinking about how to respond appropriately, since she didn't know Lu Renjia well. Just as Huang Yaya was struggling with her inner conflict, the other party sent another message.
"Just asking, I hope I don't offend you, do you want to go to the movies together after the scores come out?"
Holy crap, Huang Yaya knew it in her heart. This guy was definitely interested in her. But she was obsessed with looks. Lu Renjia's looks were just average. But I heard that every high school student's looks improve several times after graduation. Why not give him a chance? It's just a movie, after all.
"good."
When Huang Yaya typed this, she was in a happy and joyful mood. After all, who doesn't like to be liked? Whether it's vain or arrogant, being liked by others is a very happy thing.
However, after this message was sent, one minute, two minutes, ten minutes, twenty minutes, and one hour passed, and there was no response from the other side.
Huang Yaya hesitated for a long time between the two choices of whether to send a message to the other party, and chose not to send one. Even if the other party was asleep, he should have said something, instead of making her heart flutter and then disappearing quietly.
Now she not only had to worry about her college entrance exam results, but also about whether Lu Renjia liked her. Thinking about it, she reflected on whether her previous behavior in the game was too wild and whether it scared him.
Finally, it was nine o'clock, and the man's message came on the phone again.
"Sorry, I fell asleep yesterday. I didn't say good night to you, so I'm saying good morning to you now."
"Huang Yaya, I wish you a good morning and a belated good night."
"Are you asleep? I dreamed about you!"
This guy is really good at it. These few words made Huang Yaya's resentment of the night disappear, and even a little excited. What a gentle man. How should she respond appropriately? If she said she was not asleep, would he think she was waiting for his news and not asleep, but if she said she was asleep, it would be too deliberate.
"I didn't sleep. I read a novel all night."
Huang Yaya's words were half true and half false, so it didn't seem deliberate and the other party wouldn't misunderstand her.
"What novel is it? Is it good?"
"It's Gou Xue's 'The Princess Ran Away with the Child'"
“The name itself is interesting.”
"Hahaha, super interesting."
There was no reply from the other party, and Huang Yaya began to reflect on herself. Is this book really boring? Is it because I have no taste? No way, this is so interesting, why didn't the other party reply?
After several tens of minutes, Huang Yaya entered her admission ticket number and password on the website. A large "540" appeared on the screen. Her mother and brother were delighted. Huang's mother immediately called Huang's father to tell him how much she had scored.
Huang Yaya was happy but also confused. She wondered how everyone else had done! If everyone had done well, the cutoff score for a first-tier university would be higher. Anyway, she decided to ask a classmate with whom she had some connections about their scores.
When I opened my phone, the first thing I saw was a message from Lu Renjia.
"I just went to help my mother."
"Huang Yaya, how did you do on the exam?"
Asking such a high-risk question without revealing his score, just when Huang Yaya was still complaining about Lu Renjia's sudden lack of reply, Lu Renjia sent another screenshot, a screenshot of his total score of 600!!!
The sky was falling. Did everyone score this high? Was Lu Renjia's grades usually this good? She had just wanted to be happy for her 540, but the blow came so quickly.
"I did much worse than you did on the test."
At this time, Huang Yaya had no interest in Lu Renjia's invitation to watch a movie, and she only felt guilty for not being able to test him higher.
"It's okay. Many people didn't perform well this time. I performed exceptionally well."
"Several people in our dormitory scored around 530."
Lu Renjia's words were a blessing from heaven, making Huang Yaya feel redeemed. While it's scary to be inferior to others, it's not so scary to have a group of people who are just as good as you. After all, people aren't afraid of mediocrity; they're afraid of being the only one who's mediocre.
Huang Yaya had gathered enough information to say that 540 was an above-average score, which reassured her. The novel on her phone, which she hadn't opened all day, seemed so delicious.
Huang Yaya was in the room, lying on the bed with milk tea in one hand and a mobile phone in the other.
Chapter 999 of "The Domineering Prince Pushed Me Down".
"So much broth, so much broth..." His Highness's voice was unsteady, a little breathless. It seemed the frenzied exercise last night had already reached dawn. Liu Qingqing, in the lower position, tears glistened in her eyes. Her voice was a little broken as she spoke, "There's really nothing between him and me, Your Highness, really..." Something unspeakable lingered, "...please slowly...um...um...oh...pain..." (Translated from Chinese to English for technical reasons.)
Huang Yaya was reading with great interest when a message from Lu Renjia suddenly popped up.
"Let's go to the movies tomorrow, to the RT-Mart cinema."
"sure!"
"Where is your home? I'll pick you up tomorrow."
"No need, let's meet at RT-Mart."
"Okay, how about ten?"
"sure."
