Chapter 41
April 16, 2024, the second day of the joint entrance exam. The temperature rose rapidly, and even without air conditioning, Jiang Qiuxu was too hot to wear his long-sleeved school uniform. Jiang Qiuxu spent an hour finishing his biology exam, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help but lean against the table to cool his face. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Xie Yusheng, still working on his exam, dressed in his long-sleeved uniform, seemingly oblivious to the temperature.
Fifteen minutes later, the biology exam officially ended. Jiang Qiuxu packed up his things and looked at Xie Yusheng, who was calm and unperturbed by the heat. He couldn't help but wonder, "It's so hot out here. Aren't you feeling hot in long sleeves?"
Xie Yusheng was still holding his examination supplies in his hand. Upon hearing this, he looked at Jiang Qiuxu, his expression still calm, and replied, "Not bad."
The seasons are different, right?
On April 17, 2024, the joint entrance examination officially ended and everything was settled. All that remained was to wait for the results to come out. Before that, everyone was living their senior year life step by step.
It has been raining for the past few days, and it was pouring rain on the 20th. Unfortunately, Jiang Qiuxu and Du Xiwei went out to eat that day, and they were in a mess on the way back to school, with not a single dry spot on their bodies.
Du Xiwei had no habit of returning to the classroom for evening self-study on rainy days, so she simply gave her homeroom teacher a note saying she wouldn't be returning to school. Jiang Qiuxu did go back, but once she sat down, the damp, sticky feeling on her body made her feel uncomfortable.
After enduring half a night of study, Jiang Qiuxu felt like she was going to explode. She wanted to ask for leave, but it was difficult to get leave from their head teacher, who might not even be in the office. Just then, Xie Yusheng suddenly turned around and handed Jiang Qiuxu a notebook. Jiang Qiuxu took the notebook, confused, and when she opened it, she felt a complicated feeling.
"If you want to ask for leave, you can go to the head teacher of Class 4. It's easy to ask for leave from him."
Jiang Qiuxu never expected that Xie Yusheng would not only notice her dire situation but also teach her how to ask for leave. With mixed feelings, Jiang Qiuxu wrote a "thank you" on the notebook and gave it back to Xie Yusheng.
As soon as the class was over, Jiang Qiuxu immediately ran to the office to find the head teacher of Class 4 and successfully asked for leave to go home. After changing out of his rain-soaked clothes and lying on his bed, Jiang Qiuxu finally felt relieved.
It was a rare moment of free time that Jiang Qiuxu remembered that she had not paid attention to the mood value above Xie Yusheng's head for a long time. However, now, Jiang Qiuxu felt that she no longer needed to stare at the mood value display to guess Xie Yusheng's thoughts.
She and Xie Yusheng were not very familiar with each other, but they were definitely not unfamiliar with each other either.
After a night of relaxing at home, Jiang Qiuxu went to school as usual the next day. It was also the day when the results were released. Du Xiwei had long since stopped caring about her own grades, but most people were very curious about Jiang Qiuxu's results.
When the report cards arrived, the first name they saw was Xie Yusheng's. He was ranked 27th in the first grade of his class. No wonder Xie Yusheng was unhappy about his last exam. Next up was Jiang Qiuxu, who was ranked 100th in the third grade. This was truly a cause for celebration for Jiang Qiuxu. While not as good as his usual second place, getting back to third place from seventh was a significant achievement.
At that moment, Jiang Qiuxu felt that all his efforts in the tutoring room with Xie Yusheng all day and night for the past month, studying so hard that he didn't even watch the games, were worth it.
In order to reward himself, Jiang Qiuxu played games for several nights in a row. Of course, he didn't play games in the classroom. He just played games for a while before going to bed after studying enough in the classroom and returning to the dormitory.
