Pretend to B

Su Xing's eyelids kept twitching. He didn't believe in the nonsense superstition that the left eye twitches money and the right eye twitches disaster, but he couldn't help but his eyelids twitched all the time, which made him upset.

After finishing the multiple-choice questions on the first side of the paper, he glanced up at the clock on the wall, which was nearly 15 minutes behind his normal speed.

Su Xing put down his pen, took a deep breath, and looked out the window, trying to relax his tense nerves.

The student sitting at the next table by the window straightened his back suddenly, thinking that Su Xing was about to peek, so he covered the paper with his elbow vigilantly.The two invigilators at the front and back also noticed it and stared at him immediately.

Su Xing had no choice but to turn his gaze from the window back to the paper, pinched the center of his brows with two fingers, and pulled his eyelids hard a few times, only then did he feel better.

He was out of shape for the whole game. During this period of time, he was working and earning money while taking care of Su Hong. He suffered from insomnia all night, and his physical strength was overdrawn. It became extremely difficult to maintain a high degree of concentration for three hours.

In the second half of the exam, his stomach suddenly began to roll and writhe, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, and his lips turned white.There is a buzzing noise in the ears.

The examiner stood on the podium and clapped his hands, reminding everyone that there was only the last 10 minutes left, and Su Xing still had a big question that was completely blank.

He shook his head, trying to focus himself on the topic.The more he hinted that he should calm down, the more chaotic his mind became, as if his brain was stuffed into a ball of wool, and he couldn't find the end of the thread no matter how hard he searched.

A gust of wind blew in from the window, Su Xing closed his eyes, feeling a little more awake.He picked up a pen to do force analysis on the manuscript paper. The girl in the front seat had just completed a paper, she let out a long sigh of relief, and threw the pen on the table.

"Snapped--"

There was a crisp sound when the fountain pen collided with the table, and Su Xing shook his fingers, only to feel his eardrums being hit hard.Immediately afterwards, there was a burst of small rustling noises in the ears, and the eyelids that had just settled down for a while jumped up crazily again.

The tip of the pen turned a few times on the manuscript paper, drawing a meaningless pattern.

What is the acceleration formula?What is the coefficient of gravity?Is the fixed pulley drawn in this question crooked, why is it not round at all?

The ball of wool in his head became more and more messy, he looked up at the time, it was only five and a half minutes.

The uncontrollable anxiety finally collapsed, overwhelming his mind and controlling his nerve center.

He wrote a scrawled "solution" on the answer sheet, then capped the pen with a blank expression, closed the test paper and threw it to the corner of the table.

Su Xing leaned on the back of the chair, staring at the clock on the wall, the second hand was ticking, he watched intently, and suddenly had a strong urge to turn the clock back.

When he was 11 years old, Lin Qiang called him from the construction site and asked him what gift he wanted. If he hadn’t said a pen at that time, his father might not have stepped on that slippery pen and fell off the scaffolding. The gangsters on the road scolded him as the son of a pheasant. If only he hadn't been impulsive and hadn't fought with them, Su Hong wouldn't have to go upstairs and knock on that fat man's door just to raise medical expenses for him; It would be fine if he cared about Su Hong more, maybe he would find that Su Hong was lying to him, she didn't go to the hospital for an examination, maybe he would find that Su Hong was wearing a floor-length dress all day , Wearing plastic slippers, in fact, because her feet are too swollen to fit into those beautiful stilettos.

Su Hong's illness is not without trace, it's just that Su Xing has been evading this fact for a while.

It was his fault, the cold war between him and Su Hong for several years had made him forget how to get along with Su Hong.Even after the relationship between the two eased, there was still a subtle gap between him and Su Hong.

He didn't know how to communicate with her properly, and he didn't even look at her properly.

The bell rang, Su Xing handed in the paper, packed his schoolbag, and followed the crowd out of the teaching building.

The test center for the finals was at TV University, which has a huge campus with an ecological lake and a forest.Most of the candidates were calling the university for the first time. A group of people couldn't find where the school gate was. They walked around the lake and returned to the original place. Finally, a boy saw a road sign in the woods, so he figured it out. The direction of the school gate.

Su Xing walked at the end of the crowd, took out his mobile phone from his bag, and pressed the power button. Just as the screen lit up, he heard the sound of "da da da" footsteps behind him.

"Su Xing!" Si Ge was wearing a wine-red plaid dress and a pair of small leather shoes of the same color, and ran over from the woods, panting, "I, I've been looking for you everywhere..."

Su Xing turned around and said lightly, "Is there something wrong?"

"This time, I'm sure..." Si Ge put her hands on her knees, panted while talking while bending her waist. She clenched her fists and straightened up aggressively. When she saw Su Xing's expression, she was obviously taken aback , the volume weakened, "Those who can beat you..."

"Yeah." Su Xing nodded, turned around and left.

Si Ge's ponytail was still shaking slightly, she was a little embarrassed and stood there helplessly.

She and Su Xing have been in the same school for three years, and have participated in countless competitions and exams together. As long as Su Xing is around, she will always be No.2.

In fact, it doesn't matter if you get No.1 or not, but Si Ge likes to come to Su Xing every time and shout, "I can definitely beat you" has become a ritual.

She just wants Su Xing to remember that there is still No. 2 chasing him, and she will catch up to Su Xing sooner or later.

Although Su Xing didn't pay her much attention before, and didn't even give her a vivid expression, Si Ge felt Su Xing's emotions from Su Xing's similar reactions every time. Su Xing didn't hate her. Even patient with her.Su Xing's nod to her can make her secretly like it for a long time.

However, just now she clearly felt that Su Xing was different from before.

His eyes are cold, like a person without temperature, the bottom of his eyes is full of crushed ice.

Si Ge bit his lower lip and stared at Su Xing's back in rapt attention, only to realize that Su Xing had lost a lot of weight.

It's been less than half a month since I last saw him, why is he so thin?The shirts are all empty around the body.

Si Ge frowned and thought for a while, then decided to muster up the courage to catch up, clutching the straps of his schoolbag with both hands, and shouted: "Su Xing!"

She ran to Su Xing, and was about to open her mouth to ask, "Is something wrong with you?" When the words came to her mouth, she keenly realized that maybe Su Xing didn't like others testing him like this, so she tied her tongue and hurriedly Say: "What is the resistance of your last big question and the second small question?"

"I don't know," Su Xing crumpled up the admission ticket and threw it into the trash can by the side of the road, "I didn't do it."

"Ah?" Si Ge opened his mouth, but didn't react.

"Don't think about it," Su Xing reluctantly raised the corners of his mouth, smiled at Si Ge, and said, "I didn't ask you on purpose, I really didn't do it."

"I...that's not what I meant," Si Ge patted his head in frustration, "I actually want to ask..."

When the two left the school gate, Si Ge's little blue car stopped in front of the gate. Su Xing said, "Go back, I'm leaving."

His bicycle was parked on the side of the road, Su Xing unlocked it, stepped on the bicycle and left.

Si Ge stood still and watched him leave, then got into his family's car dejectedly.

Si Ge's father saw his girl listless from the rearview mirror, and thought that Si Ge was going to get No. 2 again this time. The whole family has long been accustomed to it, so he didn't take it seriously, and teased her: "Why? I can't pass your exam. That classmate?"

Si Ge shook his head, and said in a muffled voice, "I'm definitely getting No.1."

As she talked, tears fell out, and she wiped the tears with the back of her hand, but she didn't expect to wipe more and more.

Her father panicked now, not understanding why the little girl took No.1 and returned the golden beans, and asked, "Then why are you crying?"

"I-I don't know either..." Si Ge said with a sob, "I'm just not happy...I don't want to get No.1 anymore, I'm not happy at all... "

Su Xing rode his bicycle to the city hospital and weighed a bag of apples on the way.

Not long after leaving the fruit stand, the phone rang, and the caller ID was He Chi's call.

Su Xing held the phone in one hand and rode the bike with one hand, and said, "Hello?"

"Baby, are you done with the exam?" He Chi's voice was a little tired.

"Well," hearing He Chi's voice, Su Xing's tense nerves relaxed a little, he smiled, "I'm on the way to the hospital, I bought you an apple, it's red and big."

"Don't go to the city doctor, come to the Third Hospital," He Chi said, "Auntie just transferred."

Su Xing shook his hand holding the front of the car, and the bag hanging on the handle hit the ground, and the apples rolled all over the ground.

"Are you okay?" He Chi asked anxiously when he heard the noise.

"It's okay." Su Xing stopped the car, "The apple fell."

"Don't worry," He Chi spoke quickly, "Keep an eye on the road, drive slowly..."

"Don't worry." Su Xing's voice was surprisingly calm. He picked up the apples on the ground one by one, put them back into plastic bags, tied a knot at the mouth of the bag, and said, "The apple for you broke."

"It's okay, it's okay," He Chi said softly, "With me here, it's okay."

"Well," Su Xing got on the bike again and asked, "How is my mother?"

"It's being checked." He Chi said.

"Okay, I'll be there soon."
