very partial

——"The reason why you are unhappy is: you like me."

--"Yes."

…………

Ji Xia was a little dazed. Even though it had been several days since that night, she would often unconsciously think of the scene at that time. Facing Jiang Wanqiu's question, she almost blurted out the answer.

Although this answer may be due to the inertial answer caused by the succession of the first two questions, she has no intention of retorting.

If you like it, you like it. Since you have accidentally exposed your thoughts, there is no need to cover them up deliberately.

In fact, Ji Xia also believes that Jiang Wanqiu has been clear about his liking for her since this period of time, and now he just wants to hear her say it in a different way.

She said it, so what?

I got a statement of "I like you too", but unfortunately, there is no follow-up other than that.

After she and Jiang Wanqiu had confirmed that they liked each other, the progress of their relationship fell into a new stagnation. In the past few days, Ji Xia had been thinking about how to promote the warming up of their relationship in such a stage.

Do you passively wait for the other party to confess, or take the initiative to be the one who takes the initiative.

So much so that when I was in class, I was not as focused as before.

The oral English class in the morning passed quickly, and Ji Xia passed away in a half-conscious and half-drowsy way.

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, almost all the people coming out of the major teaching buildings were automatically divided into several waves, heading towards the cafeteria in different directions.

Ji Xia was still thinking about which cafeteria she and Song Nana should visit at noon today.

"Ji Xia, when are you going to go to the counselor?" Song Nana asked suddenly, "There are classes in the afternoon. Do you go after class in the afternoon or something? Do you want me to go with you?"

"What counselor?"

Hearing Song Nana's question, Ji Xia was a little dazed. She stopped and looked at her good friend, only to see that he was also looking at her.

"Didn't you read the message sent in the class group in the morning? The counselor asked you to visit him in the office. I thought you were planning to go after class." Seeing that Ji Xia really didn't know, Song Nana hurriedly said He took out his mobile phone from his pocket, dialed out the message and placed it in front of the other party.

Suddenly a notification message was displayed in the class group, but no one replied.

It was already more than an hour ago. Seeing that Ji Xia quickly took out the phone from his pocket this time, he found that there were several more private chat messages sent to him by the counselor.

"I didn't see this message..." The girl frowned.

She was distracted during class, not to mention the phone messages, but the counselor must be looking for her for something, and now it has been more than an hour, Ji Xia decided to call now and ask, and then decide whether to rush to the office to see the other party.

"Wait, I'll call the counselor and ask what's going on."

After talking to Song Nana, she walked to a less crowded place in the corridor and called the counselor.

It was the rush hour when the get out of class was over, and the aisles outside the classroom were full of people going out. After a few busy tones, a man's voice came from the phone, with a somewhat obvious agitation in his tone: " Ji Xia, why didn't you reply when I sent you a message?"

"Brother Zhang, I didn't look at my phone in class just now."

Their counselor's surname is Zhang, and the postgraduate seniors of our school are not a few years older than Ji Xia. They usually have a pretty good relationship with Ji Xia. When they meet on the road, they will casually invite girls to drink a drink to make friends. Usually, when everyone talks and communicates, they basically talk to each other. She is amiable, and most of the time she can joke around, she has no airs at all, but she didn't expect that she could hear a bit of a bad taste on the phone after calling this time.

"Is there something urgent?" Ji Xia asked tentatively.

The other side of the phone immediately gave a reply, urging the girl with an anxious attitude: "You don't have to eat, now come to the office quickly, I haven't left yet, your head teacher was here just now."

After finishing speaking, the counselor paused for a moment, then lowered his voice and sent a letter to the girl: "Someone reported that you cheated in the exam. You got good grades by cheating. The report letter should be sent to the principal's mailbox and the dean's mailbox." I have sent a copy, so hurry over here!"

The phone was hung up after getting through the important point. After Ji Xia heard the news from the other side, he was at a loss for a moment, feeling outrageous and strange, and then gradually came back to his senses, and suddenly turned to face the person standing not far from him. Song Nana looked over.

——It is definitely not something for her to cheat on her own initiative, but it is barely counted as helping others to cheat.

Could it be that Song Nana was caught peeking at the answers during the monthly and weekly exams?

The two of them couldn't care less about eating at this time, and hurried towards the office building. When they arrived, they found that everyone in the office had left, only the head teacher and the class they didn't see a few times in a semester were left. The counselor is still there.

Ji Xia walked to the half-hidden door, knocked on the door symbolically, and then walked in slowly with Song Nana.

"Teacher, counselor."

They greeted the two of them, and then stood there obediently, as if "obedient to the teaching".

"Counselor, what's the matter? Who reported Ji Xia for cheating in the exam?" The emperor was not in a hurry for the eunuch, and Ji Xia didn't say anything. Song Nana, the one who complained, spoke up first, "Does Ji Xia still need to cheat on his professional grades?" , can represent the academy to participate in the National College Student Translation Competition."

"Anyone with eyes knows that this must be slander!"

Although the counselor and head teacher were standing in front of her, Song Nana did not show any fear at all. She has been like this since she was a child. Her academic performance is not very good but her popularity is good. sentence.

Song Nana's words attracted the teacher's attention.

"Teacher, she is Song Nana. She and Ji Xia live in the same dormitory." Counselor Zhang glanced at Song Nana, then turned to introduce her to the head teacher.

The teachers in these departments say that they are "head teachers", but in fact they only hold the title of "head teacher". They are not like the head teachers in high school and junior high school who supervise the students in the class every day.

The head teacher in the university basically seldom manages things, and everything is left to the counselor, so that before starting to talk about serious things, the counselor has to explain to the head teacher who the two students standing in front of him are.

"That means the two people involved in the reporting incident are here, Ji Xia and Song Nana." Hearing the counselor's introduction, the homeroom teacher nodded, his eyes wandering back and forth between the two girls as recognition, "Then tell me about this cheating." As for the report, some students reported in their real names that you two cheated in the weekly and monthly exams held in the college by unconventional means, and used the results obtained by cheating to compete unfairly."

The teacher is not as easy-talking as the counselor and has friendship with Ji Xia and the others. After speaking, he opened the drawer of the desk and took out a few test papers for the weekly and monthly exams, and handed them to the two girls: "This is a report. Take a look at the evidence provided by others."

The test papers were taken by the two girls separately, and while they were comparing them carefully, the head teacher continued what he hadn't finished saying: "Her report is based on the answers to the multiple-choice questions. Coincidentally, some of the answers in your answer sheets are somewhat similar, do you need to explain this?"

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became solemn. The two of them saw that the test paper that should have been thrown into the trash can appeared here, so there was no reason for it.

This must have been followed by someone in the class. After they threw away the test papers as waste papers, they picked them up and sorted them together, and this centralized report came about.

There is no need to read the test paper carefully, and I know very well whether what I have done is true or not.

If you dare to do it, you must dare to do it. Ji Xia narrowed his eyes, and this time Song Nana admitted the fact of "cheating": "Teacher, I did let Nana read some of the multiple-choice answers during the exam. I am afraid that she will fail the exam." Too many repeat grades."

Hearing Ji Xia's words, Song Nana also quickly admitted her mistake: "Teacher, it's because I don't want to fail the subject that I asked Ji Xia to show me the multiple-choice questions!"

After finishing speaking, she lowered her voice and defended herself softly: "But I just glanced at it, it shouldn't be that serious, right?"

"It's not just us..."

"Aiming everywhere during the exam, every class has it. Is this considered cheating?"

Song Nana faltered, hesitated to speak.

Obviously, in her mind, such a level of "sneak peeking" is not considered cheating, let alone "unfair competition".

She copied multiple-choice questions just because she didn't want to fail the course, and she didn't compete with others for scholarships, and she didn't apply for some poor student subsidies. She really didn't understand the meaning of the whistleblower reporting her.

But soon, Song Nana's confusion was resolved.

He only listened to the teacher's words and said the key points: "The person who reported it said that Ji Xia copied Song Nana's paper and got high scores to compete unfairly."

The so-called "unfair competition" probably refers to the list of translation volunteers for overseas commercial banquets for Christmas this December that the academy will soon announce.

These lists were drawn up by the leaders of the college based on the grades and overall quality of the students. They were basically the top students of the college. After all, if they were to be sent out to serve as volunteers, they would not be able to dishonor the reputation of the Italian College of Foreign Languages ​​University.

Needless to say, Ji Xia's overall quality and grades are also on the list this time - just like Song Nana said, Ji Xia, a sophomore, can stand out in the translation competition in the college and get to participate in the national competition next year The number of places, not to mention such a volunteer practice.

So far, the opponent's purpose has gradually surfaced.

No one came for Song Nana, the other party came for Ji Xia, or it could be said that they came for the number of volunteers.

Because if there is a stain on the overall quality, it will be difficult to attend this important practical activity, and the quota will be postponed to other people.

Such an event is very important to those who value it, and it’s nothing to those who don’t care about it. However, if you can go smoothly and perform well in the whole process and get the attention of the company’s leaders, then the job after graduation can be directly implemented. .

In the eyes of many people, this is a rare opportunity. There are many such examples among the previous students. This is a challenge prepared by the school for the students. Challenges and opportunities will always coexist.

Compared with those various competitions that still need to go through layers of checkpoints, such opportunities are tantamount to more direct and more attractive.

No matter how beautiful your resume is, it is only for finding a good job after graduation. How can it compare to a chance to directly interview with a senior leader?

After figuring this out, Ji Xia calmed down instead.

She only heard from others that there would be vicious competition in the school, but she didn't expect that one day things would fall on her head.

Ji Xia pursed her lips and said nothing for the time being. She had nothing to say about this matter. The answer she showed to Song Nana was the truth. Although she said it was to help her friend not fail the exam, she did help her. The only thing she wanted to explain the thing is...

"This is too ridiculous!" Song Nana's entire expression became distorted, and her tone was full of surprise and incomprehension, "I admit that I copied Ji Xia's multiple-choice questions. After all, I just don't want to fail this teacher. Understand, but when it comes to Ji Xia's copying, I got such a high score..."

"Teacher, don't you think it's ridiculous?" She raised her eyebrows at Counselor Zhang as she spoke, which couldn't be more obvious.

In order to prove her good friend's "innocence", Song Nana did not hesitate to "smear" herself.

After hearing this, Ji Xia simply walked down her steps unceremoniously: "That's what I want to explain, teacher, anyone who copies Nana's level just wants to reserve a place to fail a course. It’s not that hard to imagine.”

"And she sits behind me, how can I copy?"

"This matter can be investigated, right, and the school surveillance should also be able to see it."

The two of you talked to each other, and finally explained this matter clearly.

The thing is this, the teacher is actually not a fool, of course he knows that it is impossible for a top student like Ji Xia to copy Song Nana's answer, even though he knows that someone deliberately reported it, but it is also a fact that he cannot resist cheating.

Just like what Song Nana said, the behavior of "taking two eyes" is really not very counted, and there is no substantive evidence to convict someone of cheating. In addition, the fact that the two have a good attitude of admitting their mistakes is basically The big thing was turned into a small one, so I decided to let them go back and write two [-]-word inspections and hand them in.

However, Ji Xia's volunteer quota must be cancelled.

The cancellation of the volunteer quota was directly explained to Ji Xia by the homeroom teacher on the spot, without any room for maneuver. Apparently, the court had already reached a conclusion on this matter before they were called to the office. Come back and go through a cutscene to deal with it symbolically.

Because of this incident, Song Nana was angry all night. She wanted to find out who was behind the report, but there was no channel at all. At the same time, she also felt deeply sorry for Ji Xia, and she was determined to study hard from now on. Try hard not to fail the exam with your own ability.

Ji Xia was dubious about her promise, and felt unreliable.

Not being able to be this volunteer, the girl is actually still disappointed in her heart. This incident, coupled with the emotional problems that have been troubling her heart for the past few days, made her depressed immediately, and she was so depressed in front of Song Nana It wasn't very obvious, but when I talked with Jiang Wanqiu on the phone at night, I could see everything at a glance.

Jiang Wanqiu was very sensitive to the change in Ji Xia's mood.

"What's wrong?" She carefully guided the other party to tell what was hidden in her heart on the phone.

Fortunately, Ji Xia didn't intend to avoid it on purpose.

I only heard the girl's sigh coming from the phone, followed by some negative emotions.

"I don't seem to be able to do anything well." Ji Xia gave a low laugh, but this smile does not mean happiness and satisfaction, but a summary of his life during this period of time.

Not only did he lose such an important opportunity to practice academically, but even emotionally, Ji Xia felt that he was not doing very well.

She always felt that she could guess Jiang Wanqiu's heart, and she was always so confident, but now she fell into a dead end and didn't know how to move forward - people always do this when they are depressed, they will be discouraged, yes Everything loses confidence.

Ji Xia is in such a state now, she roughly told Jiang Wanqiu what happened in school today, and after hearing a few words of comfort from the other party, she hung up the phone and went to rest.

Many times such a state is closed, and people in such a state are not able to listen to the persuasion of others.

Jiang Wanqiu is someone who has experienced it. She can probably feel what kind of mood Ji Xia is now, and she also knows that such a mood may disappear when she wakes up tomorrow. Can't help.

But she didn't do nothing.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Wanqiu leaned on the bed and thought for a while, then found Zhou Zhou's number and dialed it directly.

The general idea is to ask Zhou Zhou about the chamber of commerce that Ji Xia said, to see if there is any way for the other party to get to the organizer's relationship.

Originally, it was just a question without hope, but who knew that it actually got a surprising answer. Zhou Zhou checked the name of the host hotel mentioned by Zha Jiang Wanqiu on the phone, and gave the answer on the spot: "This host venue is The hotel opened by Song Yun’s family is mainly in the high-end hotel market, so you can ask her.”

"If it's just stuffing a volunteer in like you said, I don't think it's a big problem."

Things quietly came to life without Ji Xia's knowledge.

Song Jun rarely received a call from Jiang Wanqiu, and after teasing the other party for a few words, he agreed to the matter, only saying that Ji Xia's name would definitely appear on the list of volunteers announced at that time, so that Jiang Wanqiu would not have to Worry.

Hearing what she said, Jiang Wanqiu finally felt relieved, but she also had her own thoughts, she quietly kept this matter under wraps and didn't tell Ji Xia, she wanted to wait until the day when the list of volunteers was fully announced, and then reveal it to surprise Ji Xia.

Things were so tucked away, the weeks flew by, the calendar quickly flipped to December, and the weather started getting colder.

A week before Christmas, the list of volunteer translators for this commercial reception was finally announced, and the college announced it on the official website. In addition to the few quotas determined by the college leaders, there was another quota later.

——Italian Institute, Ji Xia (designated by the company).

"Damn it, this list looks so pretentious." Song Nana stood guard and squatted in front of the computer to check the list of volunteers. Originally, she wanted to catch the villain in their class who was hiding in the dark, but she didn't expect to see it by accident. Ji Xia's name made him dumbfounded.

She was so happy that she jumped up from the chair, her head almost hit the bed board.

"Ji Xia, your name is still on the list of volunteers, have you seen it?"

"I'll take a screenshot for you, take a look!!"

Song Nana was so happy that she was incoherent, she grinned silly, and thought she had won some kind of big prize.

It's just that compared to Song Nana's excitement, Ji Xia's is much calmer, but this does not prevent the corners of her lips from rising slightly, revealing two cute dimples.

Ji Xia: "I know."

"you know?"

"Why do you know!"

"The company responsible for receiving this business group was run by an uncle of mine." Ji Xia suddenly laughed out loud and winked at Song Nana, without saying anything.

The uncle she is talking about is Ms. Liu Shu's current husband, Lin Zhongyuan. Lin Zhongyuan has always been engaged in foreign trade and overseas markets. Take care of you".

Not long after the cancellation of the volunteer qualification happened, Ji Xia figured out that he would take the initiative to call his mother and tell her about it. A lesson would be inevitable, but it was better than wasting the opportunity in vain.

It turned out that someone from the company directly contacted the person in charge of the University of Foreign Languages ​​and added Ji Xia's name.

Everything was settled well, just when Song Nana was pulling her to study other people on the list, Jiang Wanqiu's phone call came in, Ji Xia had to temporarily put aside the matter of "catching villains" and walked to the balcony of the dormitory Picked up the call.

"I saw the list of volunteers posted on your school's website, and I have you." After the call was connected, Jiang Wanqiu's first words were this.

Ji Xia was surprised that the other party cared so much about his affairs, so he even watched over.

But there is also a little happiness, which shows that Jiang Wanqiu cares about her very much.

: "I was just going to tell you about this..." The girl smiled silently. She looked down at her toes and was about to explain, but was accidentally interrupted by the other party.

"Strange, isn't your name removed because someone reported it? Why did it appear on the list again?" On the other side of the phone, Jiang Wanqiu tried her best to hide the smile in her voice, and asked mysteriously, "You know What's the matter?"

It's hard to imagine, if human beings have tails, then Jiang Wanqiu's tails must be raised high at this moment, and she has already begun to imagine how happy Ji Xia will be when he hears the truth.

Unexpectedly, the expected questioning didn't come, but Ji Xia's clear answer came instead.

Ji Xia: "Of course I know."

"you know?"

"I know."

Jiang Wanqiu on the other side of the phone already showed a puzzled expression, she was wondering why Ji Xia knew.

Or, Song Yun and Zhou Zhou leaked the news.

It wouldn't be a surprise if the surprise was revealed in advance, but she continued to ask along the other side's words: "Then tell me, who helped you?"

"Let me tell you that you will never guess." The girl's slightly satisfied voice came from the other end of the phone.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Wanqiu only heard three simple and clear words drilled into her ears, which made her even freeze the smile on her face.

Ji Xia: "It's my mother."

The author has something to say: Jiang Wanqiu: Is it me?

Rounding can be regarded as the contribution of both "mothers" (not
