Chapter 361: Cheers for the College Entrance Examination

Zhang Yunqi knew what Chu Jian was thinking.

In fact, this problem has existed since they were together.

High school students date to kill time, and the ultimate goal for most people should be to study hard together and get admitted to the same university.

Of course, Zhang Yunqi also wanted to do this, the Condor Heroes, wandering around Tsinghua. But the problem was that the girl's grades were too abnormal, and he couldn't catch up even if he worked hard every day.

Tsinghua University and Peking University, it’s scary to think about it.

Now as the college entrance examination approaches, Chu Jian seems to be becoming more and more sensitive to this issue.

What else can Zhang Yunqi do?

He really didn't want to make unrealistic promises.

In the first three days of this week, the school held the first monthly exam of the second semester of senior year.

The process was quite exciting and everyone was quite nervous.

In fact, the people around him were still the same people, and they usually talked and laughed, but everyone seemed to be a little different. There was always an invisible pressure in the air. Sometimes, when Zhang Yunqi looked at the freshmen and sophomores in high school basking in the sun, chatting and flirting in the corridor of the second teaching building opposite, he would feel that it was a very distant thing.

During the exams, everyone stayed up all night. The classrooms that were usually empty during the evening self-study were crowded with people, and everyone went back to the dormitory late at night. Zhang Yunqi was the same. The exams distracted him from managing the company and restructuring Senhai. The pure feeling of studying released his tired spirit. The intrigues were far away, and life was clear.

Of course, he has never been to college, and he has regrets and aspirations. He has also thought about making an effort in the last period of the college entrance examination, but he does not have too deep an obsession. He does not need to use a prestigious university to gild himself.

In fact, after Zhang Yunqi started studying at the all-round school, she rarely attended evening self-study classes, but Chu Jian always insisted on attending evening self-study classes at school, and now she can go to and from school with her.

Every night around ten o'clock, after evening self-study, the two left the classroom together and went home together.

The two have known each other for a long time and have a spiritual connection. When they are together, Zhang Yunqi doesn't talk much. He would mostly tell her jokes and things that happened in school to make her happy, or talk about current events in society to satisfy her thirst for knowledge and look at the things around her with a broader perspective.

At this time, the conversations they had just had would be more frequent, which was unusual for a first meeting, but she talked the most about study. She asked Zhang Yunqi how he did in today's exam, which questions he couldn't answer, and then explained them in detail.

This girl is always so serious.

Zhang Yunqi listened quietly, responded occasionally, and then naturally took the hand of the person he just met.

She was not as nervous as before when they first met, but she would still look around with a red face to see if there was anyone. When she saw students in school uniforms passing by on the road, she pursed her lips and hid her clenched hands under her body. She felt a little flustered, but also a little bit of happiness that she was holding back, like a squirrel with its cheeks full of nuts.

The night sky in early spring is very beautiful, with many stars, like silver nails nailed on the night sky. It is already late, the streets are quiet, and the lights are dim. The boy and girl walking home together walk hand in hand slowly through the nameless streets of this small southern city. Many times, the same road seems ridiculously long when walking with some people, and so short when walking with others that people are reluctant to take a step.

However, it only took more than ten minutes to get from the school to their residential area. When they arrived downstairs of Chu Jian's house, Chu Jian pursed his lips and waved goodbye to Zhang Yunqi: "Bye Yunqi, no smoking today."

When she first saw Zhang Yunqi smiling and nodding, she reached out and touched his face, then took the schoolbag and went upstairs. She knew that the boy behind her would stand there and watch her go upstairs. He used to smoke a cigarette before going back to his own home, but if she didn't let him smoke, he wouldn't smoke. She felt at ease in her heart. She didn't have much to pursue, she just hoped that time could go a little slower.

The pace of the monthly exam was very fast. During the first self-study class on Friday morning, the report cards were handed out one after another. The classroom was always low pressure. The overall performance of the class was not very good. Only Chu Jian was the only one who stood out with a total score of 703 points. As expected, he was still the number one in the school without a doubt.

Tian Zhuangzhuang, who has been working hard to study recently, was heartbroken when he looked at his transcript. He couldn't bear to look at the scores in any subject, and his total score was 459.

Zhang Yunqi's first monthly exam result was pretty good, with 606 points, but in a place like Xiangnan where the test papers are so difficult, if you don't get a score of around 670, you can forget about getting into Tsinghua or Peking University.

In the afternoon, temporary class monitor Zou Xiuxiu said that the head teacher Lao Wang was going to use the Saturday tutoring time to organize an outdoor outing for everyone to relax.

On Saturday, everyone gathered downstairs of the first teaching building, and Wang Mingzhen gave a mobilization speech. It was very simple. He said that everyone was studying hard to review and prepare for the exam, and while studying hard, they should also go out more often and relax.

Everyone carried the flag and headed straight for Suxianling.

Although it was still early spring, the sunshine was so beautiful that you would feel like you were wasting your time if you hid in the dormitory. As a student, we usually only hang out in the back streets near the school, around Yangjiazhuang at the intersection of Jiefang Road. Since the mood and weather were so good, we should find an open place to have fun and have some fun.

Arriving at the foot of Suxian Mountain, everyone started climbing the mountain in a very good mood. The first section of the mountain climbing was relatively flat, with no trees. The narrow path was lined with dense ferns. It had probably not rained for a long time, so the leaves were very dry and hard. After walking for a while, the mountain road became steeper and the trees gradually increased. These trees were not big, but very dense, blocking out the sun.

Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't do well in the exam and was in a bad mood. When climbing the mountain, he followed Wang Xiaokai and Yu Qingqing. Xiaokai's confident and uninhibited back and Yu Qingqing's soft black hair and neck formed a very harmonious picture. Sometimes, Tian Zhuangzhuang looked at their heads side by side, and sometimes at their butts side by side. Hmm... they are indeed a pair that complement each other.

The peach blossoms at Suxianling are already in full bloom.

This thing is also a slutty bitch. In the cold spring, she took off her green pants, revealing her pink pistil.

Tian Zhuangzhuang and Tao Hua appreciate each other.

But he had no one to share this feeling with.

Of course, he also thought Kaizi was a weirdo. The college entrance examination was only a few months away, but Kaizi didn't seem to care at all, and he kept flirting with Yu Qingqing. He must have given up on himself. To be honest, Tian Zhuangzhuang was quite envious, but he couldn't do it. His parents were both teachers, and they wanted their son to be successful and bring honor to the family. They hoped that he would get into a prestigious university and show off to the world.

In fact, when he first entered the school, Tian Zhuangzhuang was ambitious and passionate about learning. He also wanted to continue the situation in junior high school and become a top student in his grade. After several exams, Tian Zhuangzhuang felt very disappointed. Except for those who paid the school construction fee, almost all the students who came to No. 1 Middle School in the city were top students from various schools. There are always better ones among the strong. It was too difficult to be an excellent student. Later, he gave up on himself and indulged in games with Kaizi and his three brothers for more than two years.

Because of this, his relationship with his parents was strained for a long time, and his mother often quarreled with him over his studies. At the end of his senior year of high school, he suddenly picked up his thrown textbooks again, fulfilling his parents' wish and getting into a prestigious university to bring honor to the family. But it was easy to think, but it was too damn hard to do. Looking at the theories in the textbooks that he had never seen before, his mind was always a mess.

Zhang Yunqi walked at the end of the team.

The scenery of Suxianling is pretty good, but he didn't feel anything.

This is true because I have walked too many roads and seen too many mountains.

The most impressive ones are the Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in Lijiang and the Haba Snow Mountain in Shangri-La. Of course, I went there as an ordinary person with my ex-girlfriend. What kind of feeling was that for him?

It was quite a pleasure to meet you for the first time.

Girls like her rarely have time to go out and play, so they are very interested in the plants, trees, water and stones around them. Zhang Yunqi said to her: "After the college entrance examination, shall we go to Lijiang and Shangri-La for a trip?"

When I first saw you, I tilted my head: "Have you been there?"

Zhang Yunqi smiled and shook his head. He went there after 2010. He had never seen Lijiang and Shangri-La, which were not highly developed in the 90s. He has been to many places in China over the years, but he has a special liking for Shangri-La, perhaps because he likes the pure feeling of being close to the sky.

At this time, Chu Jian suddenly said: "By the way, Yunqi, I remember Yan Shi's family lives next to Suxianling."

Zhang Yunqi nodded. Last year, he and Chu Jian went to see Yan Shi at her home once, which was in a nearby village. At that time, he left a contact number for Yan Shi, but Yan Shi never contacted him again since then. He didn't know how this old classmate was doing now, or whether he was still studying.

Zhang Yunqi said, "If we have time after climbing the mountain, can we go see Yan Shi on the way?"

We agreed upon this upon first meeting.

As they talked, the two of them slowly climbed to the top of Suxianling. The view suddenly became broad and clear. A huge wind, carrying the moist breath of the Yangtze River, swept in from the north across the Luoxiao Mountains, making the eardrums whistling.

The students who arrived earlier were particularly excited, shouting loudly in the wind towards the distant valley, "Class 156, good luck in the college entrance examination!" Some were also shouting their favorite universities, and there was also a strong man who expressed his love in public on the eve of the college entrance examination: "Today was originally our class's outing, but I want to take this opportunity to say something from my heart. After the college entrance examination, we will be separated soon, and we will not see each other. However, I have liked someone for three years and no one knows about it. I don't want to regret it, so I must tell her today..."

There was laughter and applause all around.

In fact, young people always have a strong desire to express themselves.

These beautiful dreams are not easy to hide because they have not experienced too much cruelty of reality and do not know that mediocrity is the norm for most people. The top of the pyramid is destined to be small and fate never allows all young people's dreams to come true.

Zhang Yunqi, however, envied these young people.

To be honest, for an old-timer like him, it is difficult for the fire in his heart to burn, and the light in his eyes is no longer clear. He has never been interested in sharing his sorrows and joys, because no one can empathize with him. Looking at this beautiful landscape, he just wants to lie in a rocking chair, gaze at the mountains in the distance and recite a poem: I want to buy osmanthus flowers and carry wine together, but it is not like the youth's travel.
