College Entrance Examination
The joint entrance examination of eight schools has begun at the end of October, and the review is also in full swing.
That day, Xu Zhiyi had just finished organizing his homework books and was about to take them to the office.
A pair of hands stopped her movements.
She looked up in surprise and found it was Song Chengrui.
Xu Zhiyi was a little dazed. It seemed that she hadn't spoken to Song Chengrui for a long time.
Song Chengrui put the homework book on the top. Xu Zhiyi took a look at it, flipped through a few books, and stuffed them in the middle for him.
She had just finished stuffing it.
Song Chengrui took it out again and placed it in the first row.
…
She was speechless.
She turned his homework upside down again. Xu Zhiyi felt comfortable only when his name was not displayed.
She just stared at him.
result--
Song Chengrui turned the homework book over again and carefully placed the side with his name on the top.
…
Xu Zhiyi rolled his eyes at him and complained in his heart, "How childish."
People say that after breaking up, one should be like strangers, but Xu Zhiyi couldn't bear to be a stranger. Every day when they were together, she still felt happy as long as she saw Song Chengrui.
Even though they are just ordinary friends now.
She is very happy too.
As time gets closer, the rankings of the joint entrance examination of eight schools have also come out.
Xu Zhiyi's ranking improved and she returned to the top ten.
Xu Dongxing had talked to her before and said that if she could maintain this level before the college entrance examination, her chances of choosing a good university would be greater.
After the transcripts came out, Xu Zhiyi would bring a copy home to Xu Wangping every time as requested.
Xu Wangping hopes that Xu Zhiyi will go to Shanghai University, so that he can attend a prestigious university and also study the same major as him, so that he can become an excellent teacher in the future.
But Xu Zhiyi wanted to go to Beijing North, and she still remembered what she had said to Song Chengrui.
Seeing that Xu Zhiyi's grades had gradually stabilized, Xu Wangping's attitude finally softened. He also allowed Xu Zhiyi to watch TV and listen to music at home during the holidays, but he still did not give her a mobile phone.
Xu Zhiyi would occasionally think of that phone number. She looked at the phone at home, but no longer had the courage to dial it.
—
During the last New Year's Day holiday in high school, Xu Zhiyi received a note from Song Chengrui.
"I'll leave later. I need to talk to you."
Xu Zhiyi looked at the familiar handwriting, and finally became at a loss, so he softened his heart and stayed.
After school, she stood at the stairs of the classroom waiting for him.
Song Chengrui quietly took out an exquisite packaging bag from the desk and handed it to her.
Xu Zhiyi was a little surprised, "What is this...?"
Song Chengrui quickly stuffed it into her hand, "New Year's gift!"
After saying that, he ran away quickly.
Later, when she returned home, Xu Zhiyi hid the letter for a long time and did not dare to open it. She was afraid of seeing those cold words.
But to her surprise, there was an exquisite photo frame in the bag. Inside the frame was a picture carved out of a maple leaf, which showed her doing her homework with her head down.
She looked at the photo frame and suddenly felt sad, then she actually laughed, and suddenly she felt a stronger power in her heart.
There was a pile of papers in the bag. Xu Zhiyi opened them one by one and found that they were report cards for every time since he started taking supplementary classes.
On the transcript, Song Chengrui's name and her own name were marked separately with different colored markers.
You can see that each other's grades fluctuate and become more and more stable.
Xu Zhiyi looked through it carefully again. There was no letter, no words left, only these two things.
But it is worth a thousand words.
She carefully placed the photo frame in the most conspicuous place on the desk to remind herself at all times and not forget her original goal.
After a round of review began, the atmosphere of the college entrance examination became more and more intense. Many people could not keep up with the pace and their minds gradually drifted.
For example, Zhang Ningxia always likes to gossip about the love affairs of various classes in her free time, and turn them into jokes to tell others.
Sometimes when Xu Zhiyi felt tired of doing homework, he would feel refreshed after listening to gossip.
However, during this period, other romances emerged in the class.
Coincidentally, that day Xu Zhiyi and Zhang Ningxia went to the supermarket to buy snacks, and they saw a girl and a boy in the class hugging each other.
The two of them took a curious look and found out that they both knew the boy, Gao Ze, who had pursued Zhang Ningxia before.
Zhang Ningxia was originally very angry and wanted to find the boy to argue with him. It was bad enough that he had cheated on her, but now he had cheated on the girls in their class.
As a result, before Zhang Ningxia could ask for details, after the evening self-study get out of class that day, the two of them saw the girl in the class walking hand in hand with another boy at the stairs of the classroom.
Xu Zhiyi was stunned by this operation, she even suspected that there was something wrong with her eyes.
Zhang Ningxia couldn't bear it any longer, so she quickly went to find out the news, and finally found out a week later.
This girl in the class has average grades, but she is very good at chatting. She uses different Penguin accounts to play different roles in the school group and date different boys. Basically, she breaks up with them every once in a while when she gets tired of them.
"Oh my god, I really can't tell, is she in love or collecting stamps?"
Zhang Ningxia was amazed and lowered her voice to discuss with Xu Zhiyi, "But, her style is definitely not as good as yours, that's..."
Before Zhang Ningxia could finish her words, Xu Zhiyi silenced her manually.
"There's nothing to compare."
Xu Zhiyi felt a little annoyed. She even envied the girl who could control her feelings so easily. But for Xu Zhiyi, that relationship was so heavy that she really couldn't let it go so easily. She could only let it slowly take root in her heart.
Take root, sprout, and grow.
In March, the school organized a 100-day oath-taking ceremony.
The huge team stood on the playground, and the red flags fluttered in the wind.
The large characters on the banner are particularly inspiring.
"A hundred-day sprint to win the college entrance examination."
Xu Zhiyi stood in the middle and back of the class team, looking up slightly at the podium.
Zhang Ningxia next to him was a little dissatisfied and complained to Xu Zhiyi.
"Zhiyi, your grades are so good, why doesn't Old Xu let you go on stage to speak?"
She shook her head slightly, telling Zhang Ningxia not to worry about such small details.
The speeches on the stage came one after another, like an old-fashioned radio playing in slow motion. I got annoyed just by listening to the sound.
She passed through the crowd and saw Song Chengrui in front of her right. He stood very straight today, wearing a blue and white school uniform, with neat and tidy hair, which did not exceed his eyebrows as required by the school.
The speeches on the stage were still going on. Xu Zhiyi clapped along with the atmosphere from time to time, but his mind was not there at all. Perhaps he had been watching for too long and the other party could also feel it.
Song Chengrui seemed to move his body, turned around, and started chatting with the classmates behind him.
She instantly felt guilty and quickly shifted her gaze to the stage, not daring to look into his eyes.
Finally, the speeches were over, and the class oath began to ring out in the playground, each voice louder than the last.
As required, Xu Zhiyi walked to the front of the team, raised his right fist, and began to recite the oath word by word.
The meeting ended and the crowd began to disperse. Zhang Ningxia held Xu Zhiyi's arm and continued to stand up for her.
Xu Zhiyi smiled and comforted her, "Oh, it doesn't matter where you say it. I'm in the audience, so I can accompany you."
When Zhang Ningxia heard this, she was overjoyed again.
"Too."
"Yes." Xu Zhiyi replied softly, "Anyway, as long as I do well in the exam, that's all that matters."
After saying that, she walked forward, but saw Song Chengrui's shadow appear among the crowd. He followed her side by side, not too far away.
When Xu Zhiyi glanced over, the other party was looking at her.
After the two eyes met, they paused briefly and then quickly moved away.
But strangely, Xu Zhiyi seemed to understand what he meant, and she gave him a look of affirmation.
The sign with the 100-day countdown was hung in the most conspicuous place in the classroom. As time decreased day by day, the test papers on the desk piled higher and higher.
In the mock exam in April, Xu Zhiyi once again broke through the rankings and reached the top eight in the grade.
After school, she was stopped by Song Chengrui in the corridor. He handed her a thick notebook with nothing on the cover.
"The different types of questions in the final chemistry test should be helpful to you." His tone was flat and he didn't seem to have much emotion.
Xu Zhiyi looked at him and said softly, "Thank you."
Song Chengrui said casually, "I just picked up an extra portion."
Xu Zhiyi walked downstairs with her notebook and happened to meet Zhang Ningxia waiting for her at the door.
"Hey, is he sending you warmth again?"
Xu Zhiyi smiled faintly, "Let's go, I'll buy you some water."
Zhang Ningxia waved her hands helplessly, "Okay, okay, this is your little secret. I won't ask!"
After that, they never spoke again. Even if they met unexpectedly in the corridor, they only exchanged glances. Both of them focused entirely on studying.
However, every afternoon, Xu Zhiyi would always find a bottle of water and a note on his seat.
"Drink some water."
The font is elegant, which is his style.
During the last holiday before the college entrance examination, when Xu Zhiyi came to school to pack his things, he found a letter in his schoolbag.
Xu Zhiyi:
I don't know if you'll see this letter. If you do, it means I mustered up the courage to slip it into your schoolbag.
I picked up this maple leaf by the playground at the sports meet. It's perfectly shaped and perfectly matches you. I've remembered the way you lowered your head while doing your homework for a long time.
I kept my transcripts, and every time they were handed out, the first thing I did was look for our names. Seeing our rankings getting closer and closer, I felt there was still hope.
Good luck on your college entrance exams. No matter where you go, I hope to be close to you.
Song Chengrui"
The letter was very short. She read it three times, then carefully folded it, put it back into the envelope, and stuffed it into the innermost part of her schoolbag.
When she got home, Xu Wangping was watching the news on TV. Seeing her come back, he waved for her to sit down.
"Zhiyi, Dad has thought about it for a long time, and Jingbei University is indeed not bad. If your grades are stable, it should be fine."
Xu Zhiyi was stunned: "Dad, do you agree that I can apply to Jingbei?"
"Yeah." Xu Wangping pushed up his glasses. "Your teacher, Mr. Xu, talked to me and said that you've made great progress in the past six months and have clear goals. I thought about it and decided that I shouldn't limit your choices. So, whatever school you want to go to is up to you."
Her nose felt sore and she quickly lowered her head: "Thank you, Dad."
"Do well on the exam." Xu Wangping patted her shoulder gently. "After the exam, I'll take you out for a nice meal."
Xu Zhiyi's eyes sparkled with tears as she nodded, "Okay, I'll definitely try my best!"
