Long grass warbler flying

Ji Xiao did well in the test, he put down the phone to check the results, and did not give up, dialed back to check again, then repeatedly added the total score more than a dozen times, and slapped himself twice—for fear that he was dreaming.

If memory serves me correctly, this is the highest score he has had in three years of high school.Mathematics is close to full marks, comprehensive literature has created history, and Chinese and English are stable-his worst English, thanks to the simplicity of this year's exam questions, and his scores have reached a level that is usually difficult to test-all together, record Xiao even forgot to be happy.

But this year, the average level of the first line is [-]% higher than the average level of previous years. Ji Xiao really dare not judge his own level.In previous years, this score was probably randomly selected by the national key points, but it was [-] points higher than the first line, and it was almost the most embarrassing and difficult score segment to fill in.

He opened the WeChat group created by Zhai Xinen, and the few who had a good time were in it, sighing and sighing at each other.

Ji Xiao: "I checked my grades, math 145!"

Immediately, they were mobilized and attacked.Especially this year, science and mathematics were so difficult that it exploded. Jiang Xinghe claimed that he would kill him on behalf of the students in the science class. Zhai Xinen and Zhou Yang both scoffed and expressed their indignation towards Ji Xiao.Among the few remaining people, apart from those who didn't pass the exam and didn't say anything, only Chu Lan was left.

Zhai Xinen called Chu Lan and asked him how he did in the exam.Chu Lan responded with a gloomy face: "I'm 75 on the first line, I'm very angry, and my comprehensive essay is just 250, it's just mocking."

For the usual quiz, if Chu Lan's comprehensive essay is 260, it is likely that Xiao Yingchun will be invited to drink tea by Xiao Yingchun as if facing a big enemy.As a top student with an average score higher than [-] in all previous times, Chu Lan is average in mathematics and can't make up the gap in Chinese. Only English and comprehensive literature can stand out from the crowd.There is no advantage in this article, and it must be extremely depressing.

Wechat group you come and go, everyone did well in the exam, although a little dissatisfied, it is normal.Zhai Xinen found the ranking and posted it in the group.

Among them, Jiang Xinghe should be the best in the exam, ranking in the top ten in science in the province.Chu Lan's ranking in the liberal arts fell below the top [-], but everyone did not do well in the comprehensive exams, so he stood out among the dwarfs, and his ranking was still very high.

While chatting with each other, Zhai Xinen poked Ji Xiao's WeChat and asked him how he planned to volunteer.

The results will be released on the 22nd, and the first batch of volunteers will be reported on the 28th. There is not enough time.Ji Xiao's family ignored him, and his heart was already cold. Naturally, he would not be ashamed to ask his stepfather to discuss it.

"I'd better fill in the school in Shanghai..." Ji Xiao thought for a while, and quickly checked the admission scores of F University in the past years. He felt that he might not be able to pass the exam this year, and even Chu Lan was a little hesitant, "Chu Lan wants If I have to go to F University, I probably won’t be able to catch up with the same school, so I can go to the same city, such as C University and T University.”

Di Xinen said worriedly, "What if Chu Lan goes to Beijing?"

Ji Xiao: "He doesn't like Beijing. Except for F University, he probably doesn't even want to leave home. S University and N University in this province, his scores are read and he feels wronged... so he should work hard to go to F University."

Zhai Xinen: "Will Chu Lan go abroad?"

Ji Xiao was left speechless by her question, he had never thought about this possibility from the beginning to the end, and was immediately panicked.Seeing that Ji Xiao didn't reply for a while, Zhai Xinen said helplessly, "Okay, I'll ask Chu Lan for you."

With a task in hand, I have to speak step by step.Fortunately, Chu Lan's nature is a bit natural, and she is basically undefended against her. When Zhai Xinen mentioned a few more words, Chu Lan was frank.

"I'm planning to apply to F University first, and we'll see if I can get it... At most, I will obey the adjustment, and then enter the school and change my major." Chu Lan's long-winded speech seems to be very inconsistent with his own temperament, "But I haven't given it much thought yet. For other voluntary things, let’s talk about it when the time comes, the big deal is to repeat.”

Zhai Xinen relayed the original words to Ji Xiao, but the other party was still puzzled—Chu Lan was too brainy, F University existed like the lover of his dreams, and he was so persistent that he couldn't figure it out. Well, I can really do the re-reading thing.Ji Xiao was speechless, he really didn't want to accompany Chu Lan to repeat the study.

Just procrastinating and procrastinating, until the last day of filling out the volunteer application, Ji Xiao took the computer and sat with Zhai Xinen at a Starbucks, and explained his future four years.

The summer solstice has just passed, and the rainy weather has come to an end, replaced by bright sunshine.The chirping of cicadas and the shade of the trees are intertwined, and the cooler the pedestrians are, the colder they will be on their naked calves when they walk through the shopping mall. The asphalt road is steaming with high temperature. At noon, it seems that the scorching heat even takes shape.

After waiting for Xin En to arrive, Ji Xiao showed her the draft.

He recently checked the scores of several universities in Shanghai. Except for F University, which may not be able to get in, several other key universities can make steady progress.In terms of professional issues, Ji Xiao encountered difficulties.

He bit the cap of his pen: "I really don't know what to learn...Xin, what are you going to learn?"

With a thought, Zhai Xinen said calmly: "My family plans to let me study business, either accounting or finance, saying that it will be easier to find a job in the future. This time I did well in the exam, and my parents also wanted to choose between the N University in this province and the C University in Shanghai. How about you, have you figured it out yet?"

I don't know which word of hers impressed Ji Xiao, he suddenly drew a circle on the paper: "What do you think about finance? The C major score line is not that high, and my math score is also good - I don't know when I'm getting paid." I don’t look at individual subject scores, but it shouldn’t be a problem, right?”

The single subject of mathematics, which is close to full marks, is indeed good. Zhai Xinen nodded: "Do you want to apply for your first choice?"

Ji Xiao: "F major is my first choice. I'll give it a try. If I can go to C major without raising the grade line, it's pretty good."

When Zhai Xinen saw him go to the official website to fill out his volunteer application, he gently tapped Ji Xiao's arm, met his doubtful eyes, and gave him a comforting smile: "Anyway, Chu Lan broke up now, if you don't give up, I will help you more Care about him. Try to catch Chu Lan as soon as possible, I think you are happy and happy."

She rarely said such nasty words, and her eyes were very sincere, which was slightly different from usual.Ji Xiao suddenly couldn't bear to look at her, so he could only smile: "Thank you, Xin En."

There is always a saying that I am tired of saying, "If you cover your mouth, it will slip out of your eyes when you like it".

Three years in the same class, the girl I met when I opened my heart for the first time, Ji Xiao could tell that Xin En should like him—he always hated him and Chu Lan, but let go of his prejudice time and time again Helping him, from the beginning to the present, Ji Xiao didn't know when she had other thoughts, and she was only thinking about Chu Lan, and she didn't ask if she found something wrong.

Did Xin En know that Ji Xiao couldn't like the opposite sex, so he kept it in his heart?

Ji Xiao suddenly felt very sorry for her.But he really had no feelings for girls, so he had to pretend not to notice. If he wanted to stay away from Zhai Xinen because of this, she might feel no better than himself who was rejected by Chu Lan.

It hurts deeply, so I would rather let it disappear gradually, Ji Xiao and Chu Lan are different after all.

"Then I'll apply to the university in the same city as you. I'm not used to not looking at you." The girl's tone sounded lively and casual, ignoring the pity and earnestness just now, "I'm applying to C University."

He lowered his eyes, the successful application has been submitted on the page, and the corners of his lips curled up: "Okay, if you need help after you're in college, please shout to the Queen Mother, the younger one will definitely arrive."

Zhai Xinen kicked him lightly: "Fuck you!"

Ji Xiao smiled brightly at her, trying to widen Zhai Xinen's heart.The floor-to-ceiling windows behind them could not block the sunlight, leaving bright traces on the ground of the coffee shop. People were coming and going on the street, and the sky was clear.

After filling out the application, Ji Xiao symbolically notified his family, turned around and found two jobs, wishing to be more independent in a whimsical way.It seems that he has some confidence if he doesn't accept Qiu Zhijun's living expenses.

Most of the students are not willing to directly report their volunteers in the group, except for Jiang Xinghe, who has no brains.As soon as the idiot finished filling out his application, he happily announced: "My first choice is to fill in the biomedicine of S University!"

Ji Xiao: "Can't you go to Tsinghua University? Excuse me, you have something wrong?"

Jiang Xinghe said dejectedly: "Don't look down on S University, it's one of the top ten universities in the country, and its majors are also top-notch... Besides, what do you know, you single dog, I'm here for love."

There is a tacit understanding of the ellipsis in the WeChat group, and the singles express their incomprehension of Xueba with practical words and deeds, as well as the deep toothache of being unintentionally shown.But this kind of thing can't be done by others. Jiang Xinghe's current boyfriend is a senior at S University. Since he insists on doing this, no one will be able to persuade him.

Chu Lan never froze.

Ji Xiao wanted to chat with him in private, but he was afraid that Chu Lan would say something that would poke his heart, such as opening his mouth and saying, "Give up." The scars from before were not healed yet, and Ji Xiao didn't want to be dripped with blood at all.

He later found out that during that time, Chu Lan repeatedly complained that she did not pass the exam, was seriously considering the matter of repeating the exam, and was determined not to discuss any topics related to the university, and finally decided to go with Fan Fan and his mother, without telling the truth. Chu Lan filled it out for him...it was also extremely capricious.

His appendicitis incision has healed, and he has no problem traveling between two part-time jobs all day long.From then on, Ji Xiao remembered to eat on time and exercise when he was not full, otherwise he might have stomach bleeding next time.

It was at such a busy moment that he suddenly welcomed Chu Lan in the dessert shop where he was working.

Ji Xiao remembered that it was a very hot afternoon, even the loud cicadas on the sycamore tree lost their strength, screamed twice and then fell silent.The dessert shop also sells ice drinks and ice cream, and its business is booming in summer. He is so busy that he doesn't touch the ground, and he doesn't pay attention to whether there are people he knows among the passers-by.

The store manager put the snow top coffee and pudding on the plate: "Ji Xiao, send it to table number six."

He said "oh", holding one hand, and walked steadily through the intricate aisles in the store, and then saw a familiar side face on the single seat in the back - resting his chin with one hand, and opening the blinds He stared blankly at the road, his eyelids were sleepy, his forehead was sweaty, his shirt was taken off and put aside, revealing the short-sleeved TEE inside.

Ji Xiao heard his heart beating faster again, and he staggered in the last few steps, extremely embarrassed.

He thought strangely, no matter how long it had passed, when he saw Chu Lan again, he would still feel like the first time he saw him, the light of the whole world went out in an instant, leaving only his eyes as guiding lights.

And Ji Xiao followed this road, unable to see the scenery ahead, groping forward, firm and wronged, enduring many uncertainties, and still not flinching.These constitute Ji Xiao’s first impressions of “love” in one of the few experiences. It is not romantic at all, and it is not even touching. It is only full of enthusiasm and his unprecedented bravery.

It sounded rather tragic, but he only knew that he had been defeated long ago and could not let go of Chu Lan.

He brought coffee and pudding to the table: "...Chu Lan, what a coincidence."

"I heard from Xin En that you work here, and you passed by today, so come and sit down." Chu Lan omitted the details of the greeting, drank a sip of coffee, and called Ji Xiao, who was about to turn around and run away, "By the way... I was arrested by Hong Kong. Accepted by CUHK."

On that Wednesday in July, until dusk, Ji Xiao was in a daze, wandering as if he didn't know where he was.

Chu Lan's words echoed repeatedly in his mind.

Chu Lan's sentences made sense, and every word was perfect, while Ji Xiao listened, his mind was blank, and his ears were full of roaring sounds.

"At that time, my mother saw the notice of the Chinese University of Hong Kong's enrollment in the Mainland this year, and applied for the first choice in advance. It seems that there are very few applicants in our province. I got the highest score, so I was admitted directly...but I was only three points short of admission. F University, now that I have received the admission letter, I feel sorry for my mother if I make a fuss about repeating the study."

"I saw the cut-off score for C major, you are fine. In the future, you are in Shanghai and I am in Hong Kong. It's good, isn't it? When you come back from vacation, if you meet the right opportunity, let's sit together again - we are still friends ,Okay?"

Ji Xiao should have nodded blankly, and then the store manager called him, and he ran away as if he had been pardoned.

It was a few days before the admission notice was received.Ji Xiao couldn't tell his own mood, as if everything had become very numb, and he couldn't let go of it at all, but he had no choice but to succumb to reality.

The notification letter from University C was beaming, lying safely on the desk, but he was not as excited as he had imagined.

Of the tens of thousands of people who receive university admission letters every year, he may be the most unhappy one.

He and Chu Lan are about to be separated by thousands of miles, every time Ji Xiao thinks of this layer, it feels as if his throat is choked.
