Chapter 63 Abnormal

After walking along this street, Lin Shuliang suggested going back.

"Then I'll take a taxi and you wait here." Because it was raining outside, Shen Xinghe said he would go and take a taxi first.

Lin Shuliang saw the bus stop was just in front of them. "Taking a taxi is too expensive. Let's go to the bus stop and stand there. We can also avoid the rain. If the bus doesn't come in ten minutes, we can take a taxi."

Fortunately, there was still room on the bus, so the two of them sat separately, each with their own thoughts.

Less than two minutes later, the bus arrived. Maybe it was because of the rain, and everyone was in a hurry to go home. There were a lot of people on the bus, and only a few seats were left. They found a seat by the window and sat one in front of the other.

Lin Shuliang sat in the front. She opened the window a little, and the wind blew in through the gaps, just right, neither too cold nor too hot.

She brought earphones with her when she went out, with music playing on her cell phone, and she stared out the window in a daze.

The car window was so clean that Lin Shuliang could see her slightly damp hair in front of her, which was a little stuck together. She reached out to fiddle with it, using the glass as a mirror.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Shen Xinghe's reflection on the glass. If I was not mistaken, he was staring at Lin Shuliang?

Lin Shuliang turned away and wanted to make a face, but her eyes met his and she was suddenly unable to react.

There were more and more people on the bus. Someone standing nearby said to Lin Shuliang, "Little sister, stop looking. Your boyfriend won't run away. Close the window. Rain is coming in."

Lin Shuliang then withdrew her gaze. Shen Xinghe had been mistaken for her boyfriend more than once or twice, so why did she feel embarrassed this time?

Shen Xinghe said from behind, "Do you think I'm too good-looking, so you can't take your eyes off me?"

"If you don't bring a mirror, the glass works pretty well." This means that he should look in the mirror and see where his confidence comes from.

There was no sound after a while, and he finally said, "I looked at it for a long time and I don't think there is any problem."

"..." Abnormal, Lin Shuliang felt that after the college entrance examination, Shen Xinghe had become different. Maybe being a top student also has its difficulties. He suddenly relaxed, and his life suddenly lost its direction, and he could only let himself go.

She admired her own reasoning ability from the bottom of her heart.

Arriving at the station, the two of them ran home. When they reached the door, Shen Xinghe called her solemnly, "Lin Shuliang, I..."

Cheng Lin came out to take out the trash and saw them. "You're back?"

Shen Xinghe had no choice but to swallow his words and greet Cheng Lin.

Lin Shuliang turned around and asked him, "What did you want to say just now?"

"Nothing, let's go home."

She was confused and followed Cheng Lin into the house.

Both of them couldn't sleep that night.

…

The revelry after the college entrance examination comes at a price, especially during those few days when the results were announced, when Lin Shuliang could feel her hair falling out.

The results will be out in an hour, and the class group is flooded with messages discussing where to check results and related matters.

Cheng Lin knocked on her door. "Is your mobile phone's internet speed fast enough? Or do you want to use a computer?"

She was a little irritated. In fact, based on her usual grades, there shouldn't be any problem. But something like the college entrance examination could be very dramatic if something unexpected happened.

"No, my cell phone will do!"

Cheng Lin agreed, and came back after a while, "Is everything okay? Come out, I made some fruit salad, you can eat while I check."

"Mom, don't be so nervous. You just want to trick me out. I won't go. I have to look at my grades to make sure I am qualified to eat."

This shocked Cheng Lin. "You are being ridiculous. Grades don't determine everything. We have to continue living, whether we do well or not. The worst that can happen is that we can repeat a grade."

"..." Her mother, wasn't she afraid that she would be upset after seeing the score? She had no choice but to open the door, "You worry too much, I'm not that stubborn."

She listened to Cheng Lin, sat on the sofa, and watched time slowly pass by.

Shen Xinghe sent a WeChat message: Waiting for the results?

Lin Shuliang ate a grape and replied: Nonsense! (with a disdainful look) Aren’t you waiting for the results?

He knew Lin Shuliang would say this, and smiled: It seems we are doing the same thing.

What kind of words are these? That's what I meant, but it always feels a little awkward to say this. Shen Xinghe is indeed abnormal.

Lin Shuliang was afraid of irritating him with her words, so she edited the text carefully: I noticed that you were not in the right state after the college entrance examination. You used to be the aloof type, but now you have become...! Don't worry too much about your college entrance examination results, so you are crazy.

After thinking for a while, she added: "Be open-minded. Your family is so rich..." (Adding what her mother had taught her just now)

Shen Xinghe didn't know whether to laugh or cry. This damn girl was really insulated. Didn't she realize that his change was mainly because of her?

He sent a speechless emoticon and ended the chat.

Lin Shuliang didn't know what to say to him, so she said to Cheng Lin, "Mom, if Shen Xinghe fails the college entrance examination, will he feel burdened?"

"You should worry about yourself first. Even if he fails the college entrance examination, he will still score 100 or 200 points higher than you."

Tsk…

These words hit home. Yes, why was she worried so much? Even if he failed, he just couldn't get into a top university, but he could still choose any key university.

It was eleven fifty-five, and Lin Shuliang repeatedly clicked on that website, silently saying to herself: I must get normal grades!

Cheng Lin was also nervous and kept looking for things to do, wiping here and washing there.

It was twelve o'clock. Lin Shuliang took out her admission ticket and entered her admission ticket number. However, when she entered her password, she made mistakes several times. It turned out that she did not distinguish between uppercase and lowercase letters, and her hands were shaking.

After trying several times, she finally got in and saw her score: 586! She screamed and dropped her phone on the sofa, "Ahhhh! Mom...Mom, please help me check and confirm again, is it 586?"

Cheng Lin walked over quickly and read it several times. "I have to tell your father about this news. He is on a business trip and was just asking me about your grades."

The good news brought a sparkle to her eyes. The wrinkles of varying depths on her forehead and around the corners of her mouth seemed to be filled with smiles. Even her every move gradually acquired a brisk rhythm.

It seemed to be true. Lin Shuliang was extremely excited. Her heart was beating rapidly and her blood was raging like a tiger. In order to calm down her excitement, she had to take a deep breath.

She ran to the room, opened the window and shouted to Shen Xinghe: "Have you found out your grades?"

His light was on, and when he heard the voice, he stuck his head out and said, "It looks like you did well in the exam. You still have the mood to care about me."

"It's all thanks to you." Her servile smile appeared again.

"That's the result of your own efforts. It has little to do with me."

He actually knew how to be humble. "No, you haven't told me your score yet."

"A little over 600, not as good as usual."

"The world of top students." Lin Shuliang sighed, "Can you go to the university of your choice?"

"have no idea."

She could never figure out Shen Xinghe's thoughts. This man always spoke and acted in this way, which made people feel confused, but for him personally, he knew very well what he wanted to do.

The two chatted for a while and then went to bed.

Lin Shuliang tossed and turned in bed, but decided to send a message to Lao Fu: Teacher, I can go to A University. I scored 586. If there are no accidents, there should be no problem. I'm lucky to have met you in my senior year of high school, otherwise, I really don't know how hard I could have worked.

Lao Fu replied quickly: Congratulations! Your hard work has paid off.

Lin Shuliang looked at these words and smiled foolishly: Teacher, we have all graduated, aren’t you going to tell us why you left?

This time, Lao Fu replied very slowly. Lin Shuliang waited until she fell asleep but still didn’t get a reply. She only saw the message the next day: Still no, please apply for the volunteer position properly.

She couldn't figure out what was going on, and couldn't say anything. But she respected Lao Fu, and since she didn't say anything, there must be a reason for it.

On the day she went to school to fill out her application, she saw Shen Xinghe tidying up his pants at the door of his house as soon as she walked out the door.

Today he was wearing an orange short-sleeved shirt, bleached jeans, and a pair of white shoes. He looked very refreshing and a little bit fresh, and he looked different from his usual school uniform.

"Hey!" Lin Shuliang said, "Are you going to leave or not?"

He nodded, walked over, and looked her up and down, "You actually have such a conservative skirt."

She was wearing a mid-length sleeved gauze dress that was pink and orange. At first glance, it looked like they were wearing couple outfits.

"What am I wearing that makes you think I'm revealing? Besides, I look good in anything I wear." Lin Shuliang asked back.

He smiled and walked ahead, "Yes, they all look good, especially they match my clothes very well."

Really, Shen Xinghe is too weird. If it were in the past, she would have been criticized for what she did.

She followed him and looked at Shen Xinghe worriedly, "Is everything okay with you?"

"You think I'm too nice to you and you're not used to it?"

She nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

"You don't know what's good for you." Shen Xinghe spat out word by word and looked at her with contempt.

Instead of getting angry, she felt relieved. "That's right."

Shen Xinghe smiled secretly.

Before registering for the university, I had to attend a lot of lectures. Unexpectedly, at the meeting, the principal called Lin Shuliang by name again and said that she had done very well in the exam, higher than all the previous art students. He said in front of everyone that he wanted to invite Lin Shuliang to give a lecture to the first and second year art students to discuss with everyone how to study.

People around her were looking at her, "You are really amazing! 586."

"Yes, it's really excellent. The art is so good and the grades are also good."

"I remember someone once said that she cheated in the exam. I think that person was jealous of Lin Shuliang and framed her. Otherwise, how could she have achieved such good results in the college entrance examination?"

…

You see, when you are criticized by people, strength is the best weapon. Most of the rumors about Lin Shuliang in the past were not good, but her college entrance examination results were there, which made people believe that she was really an excellent student.

A score of 586 is also an excellent score among liberal arts students.

But Lin Shuliang didn't care about these, she just wanted to be true to herself. After volunteering, a new round of carnival began...
