Mingren don't talk about secret love

After starting to apply for the exam, R called back all the students in the third year of high school to explain the precautions.

Xia Jiujia and Shen Xi entered the school arm in arm.The sun is golden, piercing them like thousands of needles.

As soon as she stepped into the school gate, Shen Xi was stunned—the playground was full of people, neatly arranged, as if some kind of religious ceremony was going on.

"!!!" Shen Xi said, "Dong Bao, what are they doing?"

"..." Xia Jiujia asked, "What do you think?"

Shen Xi pondered: "The basket is being reinstalled in R... Look, there are only rebounds left on a few shelves. Could it be... the whole school is waiting for a new basket? The school is going to complete the replacement in the middle of the eye?"

Xia Jiujia said word by word: "Lessons, breaks, exercises."

"...!!!"

Xia Jiujia was speechless.

Walking into the classroom, old Mrs. Yang was distributing scores and rankings. R can be said to be conscientious. The first column of the big list is the total score of the college entrance examination, the second column is the school ranking, the third column is the provincial ranking, and the fourth column is which school and major the person with this ranking went to last year, and then The year before, the year before, the year before... Candidates can make an accurate prediction by looking at the front, back, left, and right.

On the big list, Xia Jiujia was on the first line:

【总分：733。全校排名：1。全省排名：1。2019年：清华大学建筑学。2018年：清华大学经济与金融。2017年：北京大学元培学院。】2019年那个是尹礼，2018那个是谢如一。

Shen Xi on the second line:

【总分：732。全校排名：2。全省排名：2。2019年：北京大学经济管理类。2018年：清华大计算机科学与技术。2017年：北京协和医学院临床医学。】2019年的不认识,2018年那个是吴澄。

This time, everyone sits down at will.Jiang Jie was sitting in front of Xia Jiujia and Shen Xi.She turned her head, glanced at Xia Jiujia's score of 733, and said leisurely: "After the exam... my mother was in a hurry, jumping up and down, saying that she knew a master who was very accurate in fortune-telling. She didn't wear green but only red because the other party told her Yes, avoid evil and seek good fortune."

Xia Jiujia asked, "And then?"

"Then, the master charges 3000 for one time. I asked, master, is it enough to deduct 4 points for one subject? He took a book for a long time and said, it is enough if you do this or that. If you do not have enough points, you are not doing well." Good. Laughing to death... Then I will be 734. The master obviously doesn't know that the number one scholar in history is only 733."

Xia Jiujia: "..."

He took a look and found that Jiang Jie scored 579 points, which was about the same as usual.

Xia Jiujia looked down on all her classmates again, but she was calm on the surface but her heart was slightly shocked-there were so many people who performed abnormally. In the end, the 21st in the class were at 30th this time, and the 31st were at 40th and 41st. 50... He looked back and found that some of them had arrived, but the others hadn't. He presumably was already preparing for the exam nervously in the repeat class.

After publishing the big list, Yang Shuguo began to explain majors and schools—which majors are popular and sought-after, which majors are easy to find employment, which schools are internationally renowned, which schools are rising rapidly, and which schools are not well-known but have a good reputation in the industry. The contact information of the admissions office - these are the summary of Yangshuo for many years.

Finally, she turned on the computer, entered the website address, brought up the LL province application page, and repeated the process.Although the description on the website is very clear, she is still worried that some people will miss it.

As soon as the class was over, a group of people surrounded Yang Shuguo, the head teacher, and asked about his scores and rankings, such as "Can I get into Beiyou with my scores?" "Can I get into Beihang University with my scores..." Yang Shuguo also Give opinions one by one: "should be able to", "a little hanging", "relatively stable", "basically not possible", "report to the report"... occasionally answer "which school has more beautiful boys", "which school has more beautiful women", "which school cafeteria is delicious ""Which school has the best air conditioner" and so on.

Xia Jiujia and Shen Xi walked out of the classroom silently.

Seeing Yang Shuguo, he raised his voice and called, "Xia Jiujia! Shen Xi! Where are you going to report?"

"..." Xia Jiujia walked in through the path made by her classmates, and stood in front of Yang Shuguo, "Peking University news, an agreement has been signed, and Peking University has changed its enrollment plan."

Shen Xi answered: "Tsinghua Engineering Experimental Class has also signed."

I heard that it was not the National People's Congress but Peking University. Yang Shuguo had a smile on his face, his face was full of wrinkles, his face was pale and his mouth was painted red, but it was not ugly: "Okay, okay, Peking University is good."

The surrounding students were inexplicably surprised: "Peking University changed its enrollment plan?! Damn, there is such an operation?!" "Never heard of it!" "Student God still has this kind of treatment?!"

Xia Jiujia nodded, "Yes."

Students around me: "I feel like I'm not in the same class...not even in the same world..."

Xia Jiujia smiled.

However, he couldn't help but think: Is it a little too rash to choose a major in the third year of high school.Everyone takes the same courses and learns the same textbooks, and sits at their desks day and night. It is difficult to find interests that have nothing to do with these.He himself is the number one scholar in the province, and he has the opportunity to correct his mistakes and ask Peking University News to add a place for science, but what about others?Is there also a chance to correct the mistakes made casually in the first or third year of high school in high school and undergraduate?

He also knows that many foreign schools do not choose a major when they enter school, but have a tutor, learn some general knowledge first, and at the same time choose courses that interest them, and they can make up for the first two or three weeks of each semester. During this process, they can explore their life goals. , It was not until the sophomore year that the students were gradually diverted and differentiated, and it was relatively easy to change majors in the future.Peking University and other schools are also conducting experiments, and Yuanpei is its product. In addition, there is a liberal arts experimental class jointly organized by the five schools of the National People's University, and...

He can't tell whether it's good or bad, when it's right or wrong, after all, everyone's situation is different, but what's certain is...they must be cautious.

…………

The noise reached 12 o'clock, and everyone swayed and had a lunch. They were not in a hurry, and it was rare to be leisurely.Some people ordered seven or eight dishes, saying that they wanted to have a good time at the end, because it would not be so easy to come to R Zhong Canteen in the future.

In the afternoon, I took graduation photos in the third year of high school.

The class teacher Yang Shuguo suddenly disappeared, and Shen Xi was ordered to look for it, and finally found that the other party was arranging the shawl in front of a large mirror.

"So that's how it is." Shen Xi lightly leaned against the door frame and folded her arms with both hands, "I was still thinking, you are already 60, why are you still so skinny, you ran out to play when you couldn't take care of it all at once."

Yang Shuguo asked: "...my skin or your skin?"

She put on a big shawl and went back to the photo shoot.

Xia Jiujia also found for the first time that the girls in the class were so beautiful.

Many students wore skirts, light makeup, and high heels, which Xia Jiujia had never seen in the past three years. At this moment, they were no longer isolated college entrance examination candidates, but young and beautiful girls.

The biggest change is Zoran.

This women's clothing boss has exquisite makeup, is extremely girly, and wears jewelry, and her clothes are so fashionable that I can't understand them.Several girls walked up to Zhuo Ran to look up and down, said "I lost", and then resolutely refused to stand around Zhuo Ran to take graduation photos. Fortunately, Zhuo Ran was tall and was placed in the last row next to Shen Xi.

The vice-principal in charge of education was unable to attend due to family affairs, and the photographer set aside a chair, explaining that he would make it up tomorrow and then P in, ensuring that there would be no traces.

After the group photo was finished, many students took a group photo with each other, and even liked to invite the teachers who had taught the class to take photos together.Xia Jiujia and Shen Xi became the focus of care because of their outstanding looks.Class [-] students came to take a group photo in piles, basically none of them were missing, the students who were flowing, they were hard-working.

They also took photos with physics teacher Yang Shuguo, chemistry teacher "Sanda King", math teacher, Chinese teacher and others.Every time the teacher would put down the things in his hand, tidy up his hair and clothes, and put on a smile, as if it was extremely important to leave a mark in the lives of the students.

Anzhong carried a schoolbag on his back and tried to ask others to tear it up, but he had no chance, so he had to carry it all the time.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, they set off to the small market for a casual meal.

Before Shen Xi left, she wanted to go to the toilet, saying, "Fat and water don't flow into other people's fields", and she must take her last dip here before leaving school.However, Xia Jiujia understood that Shen Xi thought it was dirty, there was no squat pit or toilet seat.

Xia Jiujia accompanied Shen Xi into the first floor.Because I was not familiar with it, I turned in the wrong direction at first, and I didn't see the toilet when I walked to the end of the corridor, but I heard a girl weeping.

The voice is a bit familiar.He scratched his forehead, as if there was a bug, and only remembered after a few seconds - it was Ye Mengmeng.

Ye Mengmeng was wearing her school uniform, leaning her elbows on the window sill, her face buried in her palms, her back heaving, and she couldn't stop crying.There are no classrooms here, but an office area, which is relatively empty. She must have come here specially from that side.

Tears slid down between her fingers and reached her cuffs, staining her light blue cloth with a dark blue spot, and the area gradually expanded, and changed from one spot to another in a blink of an eye.Her eyes seemed to be connected to a clear lake with a leak, and the water kept overflowing, and it couldn't be stopped.

There was a dead tree outside the window, its bare shadow reflected on the pane, surrounded by the sparse white light of the sun.

Ye Mengmeng held a test paper under her elbow.While crying, she whimpered: "Why can't I do it...why can't I do it..."

"..." Xia Jiujia realized that Ye Mengmeng had returned to R after a two-year hiatus, and was probably preparing for the final exam of the first year of high school.

This semester, Xia Jiujia secretly read the high school rankings.In the midterm of the two monthly exams, Ye Mengmeng's ranking was around 1200.Before she suffered from myocarditis, the number was 600.She really felt the gift of the world for her efforts - a heart disease, a middle and lower ranking, a broken goal.

She didn't study systematically for two consecutive years, and she couldn't study at all for 16 months, so she couldn't go to a good school.

Xia Jiujia knew very well that Ye Mengmeng's collapse at this moment was not just because her former classmates graduated, but because she was abandoned by everyone and had no hope in sight.If it wasn't for that illness, maybe she would have graduated with a score of 600 and applied for 985.

Xia Jiujia and Shen Xi turned and left gently—sometimes, the best comfort is to pretend not to know.

While waiting for Shen Xi to take the tuba on the other side, Xia Jiujia texted Ye Mengmeng:

[Mengmeng, you Brother Shen and Brother Xia are waiting in front.We both have a good memory, feel free to ask questions.

PS: You are beautiful, cute, persistent, hardworking, and you have infinite possibilities in the future.An art teacher once said: "God will give us the most suitable arrangement."

Another PS: Zhang Yang is going to study in LL City, so he shouldn't be able to pester you. 】

After typing everything, he read it twice, changed a few words, and clicked "Send".

Yes.One day everything will be smooth and calm, but they know that they have struggled so desperately.

…………

On the way to the restaurant, Shen Xi took out her mobile phone and sent a notification to Xie Ruyi and Wu Cheng.At the "persuasion meeting" of Tsinghua University on the 21st, three of their R middle school alumni added WeChat.Wu Cheng was mature and steady, and said, "Welcome to join, this place is very good", while Xie Ruyi replied with a "shy" expression, as usual.

Shen Xi thought about it, and called Yin Li again.Back then, they participated in the Science and Technology Innovation Contest and sat back and forth on hard seats for 80 hours.

Hearing that Shen Xi took the 732 exam, Yin Li said with a smile: "Old iron, congratulations!"

"The Long March has just begun."

Yin Li asked, "What about your major?"

"Engineering experimental class, mechanical aerospace and power." This department is top 10 in the world, with 21 academicians and 39 Changjiang scholars, but it is an unpopular major, and no one likes to learn it.

"Shen Xi." Yin Li said abruptly, "I haven't applied for the exam yet... You must find out what you like. Don't just choose a major based on work, income, or parental arrangements... Think about it, in the future For decades, half of my life, I have to stay with work at least 8 hours a day. Choosing a major is like choosing a wife. If you don’t like it enough, you will definitely live like a year.”

"???" Shen Xi asked back, "Yin Li, don't you hate architecture?" He remembered that Yin Li once said that his grandfather and father both worked in the design institute. Even if they don't return to CC in the future and want to stay in Beijing and Shanghai, they You can also ask someone to arrange a good unit and ask him to learn this.In those places, it is easier to work and get promoted if someone covers you.

"Hehe," Yin Li's voice has always been deep, "not only annoying...very annoying! Every morning when I open my eyes, I think I have to paint walls and windows again, and I feel depressed! I want to study medicine, I want to study the human body...I ended up changing my freshman year. The department was rejected, there were only 2 places, and the admission was based on merit, it’s simply... I feel disgusted when I look at the building, how could I get into the top ranks?! No wonder everyone said that you can’t count on that.”

"Hello..." Shen Xi asked, "What about the cross-department postgraduate entrance examination?" He remembered that the entry submitted by Yin Li in the Science and Technology Innovation Competition was about biology.

"It's not the same at all, how to cross? It's getting more and more hopeless. One wrong step, one step is wrong, like a clown, and the premise of cross-department postgraduate entrance examination is also not wrong. It's outrageous. I have started playing mobile games, anyway, I don't have to worry about work. , Just mess around. Before the age of 18, I was a top student, and after the age of 18, I was a gangster, without gradual changes and transitions."

"..."

"Don't believe that 'do what you do, love what you do', '360 skills, you will be the champion', those are all lies. If you don't love it, you don't love it, and if you point a gun, you don't love it!"

"..."

"I don't even have the courage to take the college entrance examination again, so I can only make do with it, and study hard every day."

"..." Shen Xi knew that people couldn't let go of sunk costs.Yin Li is already good, most people don't even dare to admit that they have made a wrong choice at a critical moment, and they don't know what to do, thinking that "life is like this" and "there is no love or not".

"Shen Xi, old iron." Yin Li said again, "I didn't realize until I was in college that what my teachers taught me was wrong. We go to class and do questions every day, and pay too little attention to what we like and what suits us. In fact, for people who are born It is said that the most important thing is not talent, not hard work, but choice."
