Fork in the road

After the school started to take one test a day, the senior three students discovered that what they thought was a dire state of study was not enough at all.

Don't talk about making papers, just passing the papers every day will spread to the brain. Other subjects are fine, but the comprehensive science is a mess. There are only three answer sheets, and the number of papers is even more.

Yu Xian and Bai Xiaoyuan were alright as representatives of the math class. They got the papers one day in advance. When handing out the papers, one person handed out the test questions and the other the answer sheet.

Such a high test intensity gave Bai Xiaoyuan a new habit, which is to hug his deskmate heavily after the last English test at night, expressing his gratitude for his tenacious survival today.

Yu Xian said that although he didn't know if Bai Xiaoyuan was crazy again, but anyway, Bai Xiaoyuan was crazy most of the time, and anyway, he earned a hug, so it was not a loss.

But Bai Xiaoyuan's neurotic behavior was learned by everyone for some reason.Later, after each English test in their class, they were not in a hurry to collect the papers. Instead, they hugged each other at the same table first, and even if they didn't hug each other, they patted each other on the shoulder with sympathy.

Every time Yu Xian saw this incident, he would feel that the final pressure of the third year of high school was indeed too great. Everyone seemed to have some small problems in the brain circuit.

But the pressure is great.Yu Xian hugged Bai Xiaoyuan, thinking peacefully.

This one-day test lasted until two weeks before the college entrance examination.

The rhythm finally slowed down a bit, and the mood of the students calmed down a little. After recovering, it will not be long before they will go to the examination room.At this time, everyone is inevitably a little restless, not only nervous about the upcoming college entrance examination, but also looking forward to the long holiday after the college entrance examination.

In Bai Xiaoyuan's heart, excitement accounted for the largest proportion, so he just let himself go, because from past experience, this state is actually conducive to his performance.

As for Yu Xian, he should not be as excited as Bai Xiaoyuan at first, but when he thinks that he will confess his feelings to Bai Xiaoyuan in the future, he can't help but have some uneasy expectations.But because of this mood, Yu Xian felt more spurred on: he must perform well this time, otherwise he would have no face to chase Bai Xiaoyuan.

The sign hanging in the teaching building showing how many days until the college entrance examination has become a single digit. The day of the college entrance examination is already approaching. Looking at the tense performance of the students around him, Bai Xiaoyuan feels more and more calm.

In the last stage, Bai Xiaoyuan stopped doing hard problems, but went through his wrong questions over and over again, and then found some moderately difficult questions to practice his hand feeling.Doing difficult questions in the past few days is purely a blow to myself, and it is not easy to hit difficult test points. On the contrary, if you do some poorly tested questions, you may be able to meet them again in the college entrance examination.

Bai Xiaoyuan felt that his current practice was probably to allow himself to answer questions in a calm mood in the examination room of the college entrance examination.But let alone the college entrance examination room, now he is in a very restless mood.Because he has thought about what he will do after the college entrance examination countless times, and sometimes he even fantasizes while doing the questions.

Where do you want to go with Yu Xian?Domestic or foreign?With the group or by yourself?

Bai Xiaoyuan felt that among a group of top students who learned anxiety and selflessness, his painting style of bubbling with happiness while fantasizing was really a bit abrupt.

The morning before the exam, the exam room had to be arranged as the test center. Fortunately, the science students took the exam in this school, while the liberal arts students were assigned to other test centers.Every time before the exam, Bai Xiaoyuan would put things in the storage room at the back of the classroom, but this time Bai Xiaoyuan wanted to take them home directly. For this reason, he had already started to carry them slowly a few days ago up.

After the exam, the exam room will be closed. If you don't prepare in advance now, you will have to wait until the graduation photo is taken the next day after the exam to carry the big bags and small bags.

Bai Xiaoyuan wanted to keep these textbooks and stacks of papers before the college entrance examination, and didn't want to feel the weight of them again after the college entrance examination.Well, in fact, he just wanted to reduce the things to do after the college entrance examination. After all, Bai Xiaoyuan wanted to relax wholeheartedly at that time.

Everyone packed up their things. Chen Yu ordered a few class committee members to stay and set up the exam room, so that other students could go home and wait for tomorrow's exam in peace.Before school was over, Chen Yu said: "Everyone's examination room is in this school. If you think it's necessary, you can take a look first. Anyway, you all know the location of each classroom, right?"

Many students went to see their own examination room after leaving the door.Yu Xian and Bai Xiaoyuan looked at each other in a daze.

Bai Xiaoyuan asked, "Do you want to see it?"

Yu Xian asked back: "Is there anything to see?"

Bai Xiaoyuan felt the same way.Don't all classrooms look alike?Tables and chairs are also one material and one size, right?Wouldn't it be because he took a look in advance today and felt very close to his position in the college entrance examination tomorrow that he would perform exceptionally well?

But it is other people's business to get familiar with the examination room. Bai Xiaoyuan and Yu Xian have the same goal now, which is to go home.

Although he had moved a lot of books back intermittently before, Bai Xiaoyuan still had a lot of things left in the last day.Yu Xian looked at Bai Xiao's handlebar with large and small bags on it, and said, "Let me help you get some, anyway, I don't have much."

Bai Xiaoyuan was not polite to him either, and said "thank you", and divided the bags on his handlebars between two.Anyway, Yu Xian carried it earlier than him, and all his review materials had been taken home before, and now he only has a schoolbag on him, which is very relaxed.

Yu Xian put his bag in the bike basket, looked at the weight of Bai Xiaoyuan's handlebars, and was still a little skeptical. Seeing that the other party was riding the bike safely, he felt relieved.

It was almost noon and the sun was shining very brightly. Both Yu Xian and Bai Xiaoyuan rode fast and wanted to go home quickly.

Yu Xian suddenly asked, "Are you nervous?"

Bai Xiaoyuan smiled: "I seem to be nervous?"

"That's right. You should be more anxious than nervous. You can't wait to fast-forward these two days and go straight to the moment when the English paper is closed."

"Xianyu, you really know me~" Bai Xiaoyuan shook his head easily, "I've already made a lot of travel plans in my heart, just waiting for the holiday. But I won't discuss it with you now, so as not to distract you .”

Knowing that the other party took him with him in the travel plan, Yu Xian was very satisfied.

Bai Xiaoyuan asked again: "By the way, what are you going to do this afternoon? I don't want to study anymore. If I still read books, I might not pass the exam tomorrow."

Yu Xian glanced at him and said casually, "Then go to sleep."

"Great idea!" Bai Xiaoyuan said excitedly, "Anyway, the afternoon will be gone in one sleep, and there is nothing to do!"

Yu Xian immediately persuaded: "Don't sleep too much, or you won't be able to sleep at night, which will affect tomorrow's exam."

"Well, then I'll write the copybook first, and then I'll sleep for a while. The time is almost up." Bai Xiaoyuan said, "Let's go out for dinner together in the evening—no, let's eat at home. The teacher told me before, don't Go out to eat, in case you spoil your stomach, it will be bad."

"Come to my house to eat, my mother specially entrusted me with this task, let me call you over, and eat at my house during the two days of the college entrance examination."

"Auntie asked for leave these two days?"

"Well, she was afraid that something might happen to me, so she asked for two days off."

Bai Xiaoyuan thought that his mother's master was abroad, so he had made a lot of phone calls compared to usual times. Although he didn't ask about his studies specifically, it was like a daily chat, but Bai Xiaoyuan could still Feel the other person's concern.

It can be seen that the college entrance examination is really a big deal.

And among the many calls from Bai Xinhong, Bai Xiaoyuan felt the happiest one was the time when the other party said, "Just ask me for money wherever you want to go on vacation".

The emotional care and the realism of RMB really made Bai Xiaoyuan feel very happy, and he was full of expectations for the holiday after the college entrance examination.

Speaking of phone calls, Yuan Min has also called him a few times recently, just outrightly caring about Bai Xiaoyuan's study situation, and then asking him not to be nervous and to perform well. Hearing that Bai Xiaoyuan is helpless, he has never been nervous man?However, he could only accept the kindness from his father, but after putting down the phone, he thought to himself that he still prefers Bai Xinhong's communication method of "paying you no matter whether you pass the exam or fail the exam"...

But whatever, he didn't need anyone to enlighten him anyway.

But thinking of his own father, he couldn't help thinking of Yu Xian's father.

Bai Xiaoyuan himself can get the care from his parents, but these two cares will not appear at the same time.Bai Xiaoyuan's guardian is Bai Xinhong. Although she doesn't have much contact with Yuan Min in life, she knows that Yuan Min will come to take care of Bai Xiaoyuan occasionally, and she doesn't mind, because she and Yuan Min have nothing to do. big contradiction.

But Yu Xian's parents are different. The reason for their divorce is that Uncle Yu cheated.Would Aunt Hu be happy to see Uncle Yu come to care about Yu Xian?

Bai Xiaoyuan thought about these questions in his heart, but he didn't ask them in the end.

Asking it out by myself can't change anything, and if Yu Xian is really troubled by this matter, asking it out by himself will poke his wound instead.I'd better wait until after the college entrance examination to ask, Yu Xian will be in a better mood at that time, and he won't necessarily feel sad after hearing his own question.

In the afternoon, Bai Xiaoyuan followed the plan, practicing calligraphy and sleeping. When the alarm clock rang, Bai Xiaoyuan opened his eyes, feeling particularly refreshed.He sat on the bed and stretched, washed his face and changed his clothes, and went to Yu Xian's house in flip flops.

He didn't realize until he arrived at Yu Xian's house that Aunt Hu was also at home, wouldn't it be nice to dress like this?

He looked down at his loose short-sleeved shorts and a pair of slovenly flip-flops, and suddenly wanted to go home and change.

This suit is too sloppy!

In the end, appetite defeated respectability, Bai Xiaoyuan stood at the door of Yu Xian's house and rang the doorbell, comforting himself in his heart: It's okay, just be ashamed, as Aunt Hu had such a high opinion of herself before, it's time to be disillusioned.

It was Yu Xian who came to open the door. After seeing Bai Xiaoyuan's attire, he didn't even move his eyebrows. He just stared at his flip-flops and said, "Although you are wearing slippers, you should change your shoes. Just wiped the ground."

"Okay, okay." It's best to change into slippers, so that Aunt Hu can't see what he's wearing.

Yu Xian stared at him again, looking at the insteps of the other party's insteps which were several degrees whiter than his body because he hadn't seen the sun all year round, and saw the traces of light blue slender blood vessels meandering across them.He thought, Bai Xiaoyuan's feet are beautiful.
