Chapter 37(1/2)
The college entrance examination day was cloudy. Lin Jing sent Tang Guo to the examination room. There were two test sites, one was No. 3 Middle School and the other was the city high school. Most of the third middle school people were at No. 3 Middle School. Tang Guo was a small part of the city high school. She and Zhao Yuanyuan were the only ones in the city high school (1) class.
When he was waiting for the exam, the teacher led the team to cheer them up. Zhao Yuanyuan pushed her glasses and said something to her, "Ji Xun is in the third high school entrance examination?"
Tang Guo felt that she hadn't heard of this name for a long time. How long has it been? She couldn't remember it. Or she was too nervous during the sprint for the college entrance examination and was a little unconscious. She felt that the days when she got close to Ji Xun were like the dreams she had, were illusory.
She paused, nodded, and said "Yes". No matter where she went, it seemed to be tied to the word Ji Xun. But who would have thought that both of them hadn't spoken for a long time.
He is in the No. 3 Middle School and the 19th examination room, and the seat number is 8.
She passed it in her mind and wondered when she had recorded it?
I can't remember it, but I just remember it very clearly. I feel a little sad because I remember it too clearly.
Zhao Yuanyuan didn't care much about things around her, but only remembered that Lian Qiao always teased Tang Guo with Ji Xun. She subconsciously felt that the two of them were just a pair, so she patted Tang Guo's hands to comfort the little girl who looked a little nervous and was just a cute girl: "Come on, don't be nervous."
Tang Guo nodded and smiled at her, "Ah, so are you."
Tang Guo finished the exam successfully, and came out in the last game and said goodbye to Zhao Yuanyuan. She didn't know anyone else anymore. Her mother was waiting for her outside. She got into the car. Her mother didn't ask her how she was doing. She just smiled and congratulated her on her successful high school and she could have a good rest for a while.
Then my mother took her to have delicious food, then accompanied her to eat desserts, and then went home.
She looked at the class group when she lay down. Most of them were crying that this Chinese essay was too scammed, and they all @ the Chinese teacher complained that the five-paragraph style was not good. Who would have thought that in the past five years, they had been essays on material, but this time they suddenly had a semi-proposition essay: a letter to ____.
Many people were shocked and only thought about how to change to the argumentative essay mode. After leaving the exam room, I heard the soul questioning of the poor students: Isn’t it just a letter? A letter to my father, a letter to my mother, and a letter to myself ten years later. How easy is it to write?
Then I suddenly realized that I was being fixed in thinking, and many people wrote it wrong, or that I was taught five paragraphs in high school in three years and became a "fool" and could only write five paragraphs.
Tang Guo also read the topic four or five times before he finished writing it. Fortunately, he didn't write it in any way. She was glad.
Many people went out for a party. The second-year high school class group had not yet disbanded. Tang Guo could still see Qi You talking in the group. She and Zheng Sihan went to the bar. They were the kind of quiet bar that was open in the alley, a small private room, and a quiet drink and playing cards. Qi You and Zheng Sihan were separated in one class and one dormitory in the third-year high school. They were very good now and often went out to play together.
A lot of things happened in the third year of high school. Tang Guo felt that it was really like a dream. The scenes in the dream always had a vague and distant sense of hazyness and were unreal.
This year has been so unreal.
The only feeling now is... a survivor.
Zheng Sihan shared the photo in the group. There was Jiang Hao in the photo. His hand was placed on Qi You's shoulder. Qi You was probably a little embarrassed and half-turned his head and covered his face with a cup.
They...Two? Tang Guo was extremely surprised.
Tang Guo was only in contact with Ji Xun when he got his grades. His mother worked overtime. She went out to find food and met Chen Xijie. Chen Xijie said it was a coincidence and asked her where she was going. She said she was looking for a place to eat. Chen Xijie also found a place to eat. There was no one at home and she was too lazy to do it.
"Together?" Chen Xijie suggested, Tang Guo said yes.
Chen Xijie is not a local, and her relatives are here. She just came to play during the holidays, so Tang Guo, who was familiar with the house, took her to find food. He touched the wonton shop she and Ji Xun had been to, and ordered a small wonton of fennel. The wontons of the two of them had just arrived on the table. Someone pushed the door behind him and said in a deep voice: "Auntie, come and pack the signature."
Tang Guo's hand, which was brushing disposable chopsticks, suddenly paused, turned her head to look at it, and just looked at Ji Xun. She had thought many times about what to do if she met Ji Xun by chance, whether to talk to him on his own initiative, and whether he would pay attention to him, but he moved back to his father's side not long after the third year of high school started. She never went home with him again, and she had no chance to meet him by chance.
The two looked at each other for about two or three seconds. Ji Xun turned his head and said to the aunt, "Auntie, don't pack it anymore, I'll eat here."
He walked straight over, sat down beside Tang Guo, and looked at Chen Xijie opposite him. He looked serious. Because of his fatigue, his eyebrows and eyes were pressed down, showing a little gloomy. He said, "Hello, Ji Xun. Tang Guo's friend."
This was the first time Chen Xijie saw a high school student with such a strong aura. Although she was not a few years older than them, in her eyes, these high school students were like children, so she almost didn't react. After a while, she woke up and replied: "Uh, hello, Chen Xijie, is also Tang Guo's... friend. I was her tutor for a few days last summer vacation." She explained that she relieved the discomfort under the strong oppressive feeling by speaking.
Ji Xun nodded, "I know."
Chen Xijie felt the coldness on Ji Xun, but he couldn't say whether it was hostile or something else, so he looked at Tang Guo inexplicably, trying to get the answer from her. Unfortunately, Tang Guo was more confused than her. She didn't know why Ji Xun came over, nor did she know why he was so unfriendly to Chen Xijie.
Tang Guo could see that he didn't seem to like Chen Xijie very much.
Tang Guo took the initiative to talk to him: "Are you here with grandpa?"
Ji Xun said "Yeah". Just one word, nothing else.
Tang Guo didn't know what to say, so he buried his head in his meal. Chen Xijie ate quickly. After eating, he wiped his mouth and said that he wanted to buy stationery for his nephew and then left.
Tang Guo and Ji Xun were sitting side by side at the table. Tang Guo ate slowly. Ji Xun finished eating, but she was still eating.
He didn't leave, he just sat down and didn't speak.
Tang Guo thought to herself, is Ji Xun waiting for her?
After she finished eating, Ji Xun stood up, and she hesitated and followed.
He didn't walk fast, as if waiting for her, Tang Guo took two steps. She didn't want to take the initiative to speak anymore, and didn't know what to say.
The two of them walked for four or five minutes, and Tang Guo felt that she was almost frozen.
Ji Xun finally spoke: "Internet cafe, will you go?"
"Ah?" She didn't understand, but he didn't explain anymore.
So Tang Guo said "Oh" again, saying that he could do it. He was so panicked that he didn't know what he meant.
When Tang Guo arrived at the place, he realized that many boys and girls in the class were there, waiting for the results tonight to be released at 12 o'clock, and made an appointment to stay here all night.
Ji Xun looked at his watch and said to Tang Guo: "I'll take you back at 8 o'clock."
Tang Guo shook her head, "No, I... let's go with you!" Lin Jing has been rushing to the project progress these days and almost lives in the company. Moreover, Lin Jing is tolerant enough to Tang Guo and has not interfered with her too much. As long as she explains it clearly, Lin Jing will agree.
"Then tell me about it." Ji Xun explained.
Tang Guo hid aside and reported to the aunt, and sent a message to her mother, saying that she and Ji Xun had many classmates and would go back tomorrow morning.
After a while, my mother asked her for her detailed address and told her to be safe.
When Tang Guo went to the counter to turn on the computer, Ji Xun remembered to ask: "Are you an adult?" He suddenly remembered that the Internet cafe here would not allow minors to enter. There were more people coming today, and many people gave up because of this.
Tang Guo handed his ID card to him and showed it to him. His birthday was 5.16, and he was already eighteen years old.
Ji Xun said "hmm" and couldn't remember when she celebrated her birthday. Everyone in the third year of high school was tense, and no one had the heart to have fun celebrating her birthday. Jiang Wei is a very serious and rigid class teacher, and he has almost no tolerance for various non-learning events. Previously, a class leader advocated singing birthday songs for his birthday classmates, but unfortunately he was stopped by Jiang Wei and said that there was no need to do whatever you want to do when you graduate, and this birthday is not bad.
Cold and unkind.
Tang Guo didn't tell anyone on her birthday, and her mother said she wanted to come to deliver food to her. She said she didn't need it anymore. The second half of the semester was tight. It took only fifteen minutes to have lunch. Eating for lunch was like fighting. When her mother came, she probably could only watch her have a meal in a hurry, and she couldn't even say a few words. Later, on the weekend, my mother simply made up for her birthday and said she would celebrate her well next time.
Tang Guo and Ji Xun's machine were next to each other, and they almost completed the contract with the entire second floor of the machine, and a group of people were chattering and enthusiastic.
Shen Jingchu bragged with people, saying that his shooting game was so powerful, so he started the game. Four people formed a team and brought Ji Xun together. Several girls did not play games or watched TV series, and surrounded them and watched. Qiao Yixuan was there. She and her best friend were lying behind Ji Xun and looked, and praised from time to time: "Wow, it's so amazing."
Tang Guo’s cell phone rang, it was Chen Xijie. He said: “I suddenly remembered that your grades were about to come out. A friend’s younger brother wanted to take the college entrance examination as well. He sorted out a message from college. I sent it to your email address for you.”
Tang Guo opened an email on the computer and looked at him. Yu Guang looked at Ji Xun from time to time. His game seemed to be playing smoothly and he would give him a compliment from time to time, especially Shen Jingchu: "I'll go, Brother Xun is so fierce today, who will provoke you? You are so cruel."
Ji Xun snorted, and the signature smile was not explained.
Shen Jingchu squeezed him out: "You just want to show off in front of the girls."
Qiao Yixuan and her best friend were cueed and smiled shyly with her lips pursed.
Ji Xun finally opened his voice: "What are you talking about?" After saying that, he knocked on Tang Guo's table, "Buy me a bottle of water."
Tang Guo said "Oh".
Before she could stand up, Qiao Yixuan behind Ji Xun hurriedly said, "I'm idle, I'll go! What do you want to drink?"
Ji Xun glanced at her and raised her chin towards Tang Guo, "She knows."
A group of people burst into laughter and made a sound from their mouths. Tang Guo scratched her head and stood up, running away like a run.
I walked to the counter downstairs and sighed and touched my slightly hot face.
How did she know what Ji Xun drank? She glanced around and asked for a bottle of mineral water. Then she suddenly remembered something and asked the network administrator: "Is there any boiling water?"
The other party pointed to her water dispenser and said, "The cup is in the disinfection cabinet next to it."
Tang Guo took the tray, poured a cup of boiling water and carried it upstairs.
When he went upstairs, Ji Xun was sitting in her position, leaning halfway, looking straight at the page she opened.
From: Chen Xijie
Title: Little sister, I have copied a copy of the information and wish you to get into your ideal university~
...
When Tang Guo handed him the tray, he explained in a low voice: "I heard my mother say that you were hospitalized with stomach problems a few days ago, so I thought you should drink boiled water!"
Ji Xun looked up at her, pointed his finger at the computer screen: "He is very nice to you?"
"Uh, she's pretty good." Tang Guo nodded.
Ji Xun pursed his lips, "Are you planning to get into his school?"
Tang Guo shook her head like a rattle, "I probably won't pass the exam." The little teacher is at Jiaotong University!
Ji Xun nodded and was in a bad mood. I guess I couldn’t pass the exam, but I mean I didn’t want it, but I just couldn’t.
Hold!
Chen Jingchu shouted there, "Teacher Ji, don't interrogate students there, are you still playing?"
Ji Xun moved back and entered the team. At the beginning, he took a cup from Tang Guo, paused for a moment and pushed it back, "Give me the water, you drink this." His voice was hard, and he obviously felt in a bad mood.
Tang Guo insisted on pushing him back.
Ji Xun stopped insisting and entered the game.
After hitting more than a dozen times, he turned his neck. Seeing that it was already past nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Jingchu asked them if they would drink beer. He went down to get it, and everyone agreed.
So Chen Jingchu and Huo Xiguang brought two boxes directly, each of them handed over a bottle, and several girls also said they wanted to drink it. When Lian Qiao went to get it, Chen Jingchu turned his head and asked Huo Xiguang: "Hey, family members, will you let me drink it?"
Lian Qiao's temperament has always been a shame for others, so she can't help but feel embarrassed. She grabbed a bottle and sneered, "Save it, you can ask Ji Xun whether to let Tang Guo drink it."
