Watermelon-flavored wind and you

The essence of life is probably that when you think everything is going to be fine, a stumbling block falls from the sky.

This relaxed rhythm not only keeps people in a state of vigilance at all times, but also prevents them from losing hope in life.

The get out of class bell finally rang, the lecturer on the stage put away the lesson plans and walked out, half of the students in the classroom picked up paper and pens and surrounded them.

Tao Shuran watched the flow of people move out in an orderly manner, and then looked at the knowledge points that he had memorized a lot on the paper but hadn't entered his mind at all, and felt a sense of grievance that he hadn't had for a long time inexplicably.

Jiang Hanqi was sitting next to her, took her notebook as usual, and placed it between the two of them, intending to use the recess to reorganize the key points of the class for her.

But suddenly she didn't want to hear it anymore.

"Needless to say, I don't want to learn anymore." Tao Shuran's voice was a little crying, "I don't think I should be here."

July is the best time for flowers to bloom.

The scorching sun outside the window was blocked out, and the air-conditioning in the classroom replaced the scorching heat.

They are now participating in the annual summer camp for high school students in the main campus where they applied.

Major colleges and universities set up summer camps for prospective high school seniors from all over the country, mainly to select high-quality recommended students, but at the same time, there are discounts for subsequent recommended admission qualifications and self-enrollment bonus points.

Tao Shuran achieved a brilliant result in the technological innovation project in the second semester of her sophomore year, and easily applied for the qualification to participate in the camp.

She originally thought that everything would be as easy as before, even if problems would arise from time to time, they would all be resolved smoothly in the end.

But that's not the case.

The selection of the summer camp focuses on students' learning ability and ability to withstand stress. Every knowledge point taught by the lecturer is brand new, and an in-class assessment will be attached on the day.

It's fine if the knowledge points are only obscure, but the classmates who attend the class together are better than the other.

These people are outstanding people from all corners of the country. They have made some achievements in their respective fields of expertise. During class, they are always very active in answering the teacher's questions. After class, they are very wary of short-term classmates in these selective exams.

It was the first time for Tao Shuran to participate in this kind of project, and she was out of breath due to her desire for performance and competition.

Jiang Hanqi saw her boredom, and comforted her softly: "Actually, everyone has only a half-knowledge of these knowledge points. You can see it by looking at the answers in class. They are far from the standard answers. The most important thing is to be confident. , anyway, the teacher will not say who is right and who is wrong, everyone will think you are right when you are strong enough. You see that you did well in the quiz a few days ago?"

"That's because you are here, and others don't have such a small stove." Tao Shuran pursed her mouth, and rested her head on Jiang Hanqi's flat arm.

The scores of the quiz are very low, and the final decision of life and death still depends on the assessment on the last day of the closed camp.

After the teacher finished explaining the knowledge points of the day, he would not give the students time to digest, but would directly issue the questions and ask them to hand in the answer sheets within half an hour.

Now she has Jiang Hanqi's help so she can do well in the exam, and she will be humiliated in the final exam.

Jiang Hanqi also leaned his head on the table and looked up at her slightly: "No, what I said is actually the same as what the teacher said, but the knowledge points entered in the dialogue will be easier to absorb. You can understand the main points. It’s still because of your ability, otherwise it will be the same no matter how many times I say it.”

"Let's do it this way." She thought for a while and made a decision, "I won't explain it to you today, just think about it yourself, and when the quiz results come out tomorrow, you will understand."

"That won't work! No matter how few points you get in the quiz, you still have to tell me." Tao Shuran complained, but she still remembered what she came here for, so she quickly gathered her mind and prepared to listen.

"I think, why don't I ask Ran Ran to explain it to me today." Jiang Hanqi suggested, "You will find out after the lecture, the effect is actually the same."

"I don't want it." She refused without thinking.

In daily life, people often encounter the same problems as those in the homework.

On the coldest winter night, in order to make a pot of firewood, you have to go up the mountain to chop wood.

Would you choose to sharpen your knife first or just chop wood?How long are you going to sharpen the knife?Do you want to grind it again if it is blunt?

Efficiency issues will never be absent. The only difference is that you can see various clear coefficients in the title, but in life, no one can accurately calculate the most reasonable route.

As the course progressed, Tao Shuran's anxiety became more and more serious. Even before going to bed at night, the questions from the quiz would appear in her mind, and then she would start to wonder in her heart whether it was not thoughtful about which questions, and whether it was somewhere Calculation error.

The consequence of insomnia is that the learning efficiency of the next day will further decline.

But she didn't feel sleepy either. At the most critical moment, her will would start to burn on her own. It didn't care about what to do with the ashes left behind after it was burned. She only knew that at this moment, its owner shouldn't fall down.

The crash came quickly because of one small thing.

The students in the summer camp have a special class time, so the school opened an additional small canteen for them.

After one day of class, the students locked their important items in the cabinets at the back of the classroom, and then went to the cafeteria to eat one after another.

It took Tao Shuran a while to dwell on a knowledge point, and it was already late when she arrived at the cafeteria.

Although the tables in the cafeteria are all four-person tables, most of the students who come here are not familiar with each other. In order to avoid unnecessary troubles, there is basically one table for each person, and no one will have the idea of ​​sharing a table.

After they finished eating, there were few empty tables left, so they chose the nearest one to sit down.

Jiang Hanqi took the lead to put the dinner plate on the table, intending to serve two bowls of soup, but Tao Shuran stood aside holding his own dinner plate, hesitant: "There is a piece of draft paper on the chair beside me. , there should be someone at this table, right?"

After hearing this, Jiang Hanqi noticed that there was still a crumpled piece of paper with more than half of it written in black pen in a mess. She bent down and looked at it, without thinking: "I guess it's waste paper? Who would Use a piece of paper to occupy the seat. Maybe Auntie didn't have time to clean it after breakfast?"

"I think it's better to forget it." Tao Shuran shook his head, and pointed a little far away with his chin, "There is an empty table over there, let's go there."

As soon as she turned around and wanted to go out, she felt someone hit her behind her. The plate in her hand was a little slippery, and she accidentally knocked it over on the ground.

"Is there something wrong with you?" Before she could react, she heard the boy who just bumped into her shout, his voice was raised high because of anger, "You didn't listen well in class, so you came to peek at other people's answers?"

There was a lot of commotion here, but most people didn't know what happened.

After hearing what the boy said, they all felt that it made sense. After all, academic things are very precious in this exam environment.

For a moment, a pair of eyes shot at Tao Shuran's body in unison, and she was subconsciously stunned.

A familiar hand hugged her to her side, Jiang Hanqi quickly walked around the table, supported her, and patted her shoulder reassuringly.

But the voice became sharper: "It took less than two seconds for us to discover this draft paper. How did you come to the conclusion of peeking? If you are so sensitive that others will scold you if you glance at it, you should Lock them in your locker instead of leaving them in a public place and not knowing where you are."

"What's more——" she changed her words, and her tone seemed to be a little contemptuous, "Even if you can't see other people's scores, you should know the rankings, right? Do you think we need to peek at your answers?"

The boy choked.

He just found out that when the answer he finally solved was seen by others, he was really agitated. At this moment, he took a closer look and saw that these two seemed to be the top five bosses. Thinking about his own results, Suddenly a little wilted.

But under the watchful eyes of everyone, wouldn't it be his fault if he coaxed him, so he immediately changed his direction: "You guys can even give up basic courtesy if you have good grades? Didn't you see that there are my things on this seat? How shameless you are to sit in someone else's seat!"

"I didn't notice it at first, but we really want to leave later..." Tao Shuran herself had a thin voice, and she couldn't yell at the other party when he became fierce, so she could only answer in a low voice.

Jiang Hanqi knew that she was not feeling well, touched her head and took a step forward, protecting her behind her.

"If you want to occupy a seat, I suggest you take something more valuable next time, a piece of crumpled draft paper, believe it if you say it is used to wipe the table? The seats in the cafeteria are all random, and if you fight for it, you will be able to take it. You can’t get ownership, if you even have delusions about being persecuted in this regard, I suggest you go and have a look.”

Jiang Hanqi always kept a secret on weekdays, and Tao Shuran never knew that she could still speak so loudly, and her words were powerful, reaching the ears of everyone in the cafeteria.

The boy probably heard the murmur of laughter around him, and he was speechless, so he could only give them a hard look, and then sat down to eat.

"Ran Ran." Seeing that the matter was settled, Jiang Hanqi rubbed her head, pointed to the plate on the table and then to the mess on the floor, "Take my plate to the table behind How about eating? I'll go to my aunt to borrow a mop to tidy up, and I'll go find you right away."

Tao Shuran nodded, watching Jiang Hanqi run out.

She blinked her sore eyes, feeling better, lowered her head, took her dinner plate, and walked back.

Suddenly, the boy's voice came from behind. It seemed to be talking to himself, but he didn't deliberately lower it, and poured every word into her head steadily:

"Ah, it's unlucky to meet a white lotus."
