Blow

Of course, this result is not as dazzling as Wen Xiao, who has been interviewed frequently recently, and can even be said to be very ordinary, but for Xia Jue himself, it is already a leap forward achievement.

After all, his score last year was only 398.From 398 to 549, it took only ten months to increase the score by 151 points. This was something he had never imagined in the past. Xu Chengkai and the others found it unbelievable.

——Unfortunately, it was not enough.Xia Jue knew that he was destined to miss Beijing's double first-class university.

At dinner, Wen Rushi asked Aunt Yang to cook a table of delicious dishes to congratulate him.

"Where is Xiao Xia going to report?" Wen Ru asked at the dinner table.

Xia Jue recalled the voluntary information that Wen Xiao had prepared for him that he had seen before, and hesitated, "Northern...Northern University of Technology should be able to do it."

"Beijian University and Beijing Industrial and Commercial University probably also have hope," Wen Xiao quickly took up the conversation, "you can rush."

After Wen Rushi heard it, he let out a "huh" and looked at the two of them thoughtfully.

Wen Xiao suddenly had a subtle premonition.

"—But none of these seem to be 985 or 211?" At the same time, Wen Rushi picked up a piece of fish and said slowly.

Xia Jue was startled, and the fingers holding the chopsticks gradually tightened.

Wen Xiao subconsciously complained for him: "But Beijing University of Technology and Beijing Industrial and Commercial University have strong specialty majors, and Northern University of Technology is also jointly established by the Ministry of Education and the Beijing Municipal Government, so it has a certain status."

"I know," Wen Rushi smiled, "A university in Beijing is certainly not bad—but Xiaoxiao, you seem to have misunderstood me. I want to say that Xiaoxia's scores are actually not too bad. There are 211 colleges and universities to choose from.”

This time, both Wen Xiao and Xia Jue were stunned.

"...For example?" Wen Xiao couldn't help asking.He remembered that Wen Rushi was not familiar with the domestic college entrance examination system.

Wen Ru paused, but quickly said fluently: "For example, 211, Nanchang University, Guangxi University; there are also double first-class, Xiangda University, Xiangtan University."

"These schools all have high scores." Xia Jue said softly.

Wen Rushi smiled and said: "It's not bad. In recent years, the enrollment scores at your place have been fluctuating, ranging from [-] to [-]. It's always good to try your luck."

Xia Jue was at a loss.Wen Xiao is very clear, Wen Ru is right.

"You may not have a good understanding of the meaning of titles such as 211, 985, and double first-rate. You may think that they are just names, and some voices in society often say similar things," Wen Rushi continued, "but in fact , In the future, no matter whether you are looking for a job or studying, these are very important-for example, Wen Xiao, do you know how many Chinese students LSE rejects every year because of their undergraduate background?"

LSE, London Political Science and Economics, Wen Rushi's alma mater.

Wen Xiao lowered his eyes and remained silent.

Wen Rushi's tone was very gentle: "I'll stop here. There are many things you haven't touched yet, so it doesn't matter if you don't believe or agree."

After she finished speaking, she put the fish into her mouth, chewed it with a normal expression, and really didn't continue.Wen Xiao observed Xia Jue's reaction, and saw that he was staring down at the rice in the bowl, in a daze.

After dinner, Wen Xiao went into the study alone.

He went to the desk and dug out the volunteer materials that Xia Jue had sorted out from the corner.He was already familiar with this information, but it took a long time to read it.

The room was surprisingly quiet, save for the sound of pages being flipped back and forth.After a while, Xia Jue tiptoed open the door and came in. She also leaned over to the table, bullied a grape in the fruit plate, poked it lightly with her finger, rolled over, rolled over.

Suddenly, a hand blocked the path of the innocent grape, decisively giving it the ultimate relief: peeling.

"You're free." Wen Xiao handed the clear flesh to Xia Jue's mouth, "Did it recruit you?"

Xia Jue opened her mouth obediently, stuck out the tip of her tongue, and licked off the light red juice from Wen Xiao's fingers.Wen Xiao glanced at him, then wiped his face with his hands in an in-depth manner, and wiped it clean.

"...It didn't recruit me," Xia Jue had to wipe his face with a tissue, and muttered, "You recruited me."

Wen Xiao glanced at him and said, "The main problem now is not whether I can recruit you, but whether the school can recruit you—Beijing Jianda University, Beijing Industrial and Commercial University, Northern Industry Corporation, which one do you like?"

Similar to what he expected, although Xia Jue failed to make it to the Capital Economics and Trade and Capital Normal University, if Beijing Construction University and Beijing Industry and Commerce obey the adjustment, there is hope, and Northern University of Technology is relatively safe.No matter how bad it is, there are Beixinke and Wuwu College, so they won't be out of school after all.

only……

"I don't know either," Xia Jue sighed, "I didn't choose the school with my grades, but the school chose me."

This is the case for many candidates. They are on the line, but because the score difference is not big enough, the choice is very small, and they are struggling, especially in places like Changxian where the key line is low and the admission line is high.

Wen Xiao asked again: "It depends on the major. What do you want to study? Or finance?"

Xia Jue shook her head quickly: "I'm really not good at finance, I don't have that kind of brains."

Wen Xiao responded.

Xia Jue was afraid that he would feel that he didn't care, so he racked his brains and asked, "Or... the law?"

"Yes," Wen Xiao thought for a while, and said, "Xiang University's law studies are pretty good."

Xia Jue paused and looked at him without speaking.

"There is also 211, Nanchang University—it seems that my sister has really done her homework, and she really cares about you." Wen Xiao said.

As he spoke, he took out another folder from the bookshelf and unfolded it. Inside was a list of colleges and universities with moderate scores in all provinces except Beijing.

——At the beginning, Xia Jue was worried about what to do if the test scores were too low and he would not be able to get into any school in Beijing.At that time, Wen Xiao told him not to think about it, but he himself was also anxious, and unconsciously summed up another volunteer reference.

However, according to the original agreement between the two, the original premise of all this was that Xia Jue could not choose any Beijing university.So today, when Xia Jue made a point, Wen Xiao put this matter behind him, and didn't start thinking about it until Wen Ru mentioned it just now.

Xia Jue glanced at the school names on the paper, couldn't help raising her head, and stared blankly at Wen Xiao.

"Don't look at me, just read the words," Wen Xiao turned to a certain page, pointed at the paper and said, "If you are sure to study the Fa, Hunan University is a good choice, but if your score is not high, it is very likely that you will be transferred. In addition , now the double first-class recognition is not as good as the old 985 and 211, it will be safer for you to choose other 211 universities, such as Nanchang University and Guangxi University.”

Xia Jue finally came to his senses and said, "But, but these are not in Beijing."

Wen Xiao didn't reply, and looked at him quietly.

"...Is it because of what my sister said just now?" Xia Jue bit her lip and said, "Actually, it doesn't matter. The titles of 211 and 985 are not necessarily so exaggerated. Since I can go to Beijing, I don't want to separate from you."

"No one wants to 'separate'," Wen Xiao corrected him, "It's just a different place."

Xia Jue tightened her fingers: "Then I don't want to either."

Wen Xiao said: "Of course I don't want to. But I said, I hope you get the best. It's as if you know that I promised my sister that no matter what happens to you, I will make the best choice. Now you also have There is a better way ahead, and it would be unfair to give up for me."

Xia Jue whispered, "What if I don't want to be fair?"

"Don't be angry," Wen Xiao stretched out his hand and flicked his forehead, "Who said, 'We really need to be ourselves before we can love others well'? Ask yourself, you already have the answer in your heart."

Xia Jue lowered her head and pursed her lips tightly.

Wen Xiao leaned back on the seat back, feeling uncomfortable.On the surface, it seemed that Wen Rushi's sudden words disturbed them, but in fact it was not the same thing.It seems that some problems are destined to be faced by them, and the only thing that will be changed now is time.

Xia Jue suddenly rushed up and buried him in Wen Xiao's arms, and Wen Xiao caught him reflexively.The chair bears the weight of two people, and there is a "squeak" sound of protest.

Otherwise, the room was silent, and no one spoke.

"...Wen Xiao," Xia Jue called out softly after a long time, "You know, I want to be with you."

Wen Xiao stroked his hair and said, "I know."

They both worried about not being able to go to Beijing together for three hundred days and nights, and none of them liked going to another place.

Xia Jue thought: Wen Xiao is going to Beijing, his biological mother went to Shanghai, and they haven't seen each other for 19 years.And what Wen Xiao recalled at this moment was also his mother, Fang Qinxin was within his reach and passed away forever.

The shadow of the past is deeply hidden in their hearts, but fate wants to use this shadow to give them a difficult problem of tempering.

In the speechless embrace, Xia Jue couldn't help exerting all her energy, buried herself in Wen Xiao's arms and rubbed hard, as if she wanted to crush herself into Wen Xiao's heart, and make the two become one. , the clothes were crumpled into a ball.

From his actions, Wen Xiao read the same reluctance as himself, full of reluctance.

And the more you empathize with each other, the more you can feel at ease with each other.

"I'm going to rub you against you again," Wen Xiao whispered obscenities in Xia Jue's ear, "Get up first and go back to your room."

Xia Jue said: "I can't afford it. Come here, if you have the ability to do, do, kill me, then I won't have to leave for the rest of my life."

He is always like this, every time he says a keyword, his momentum will weaken because of shyness.But Wen Xiao was still moved by the determination in his words, and his heart was soft.

"That can't be done," Wen Xiao stretched his arms and hugged him onto his lap, and said with a smile, "I can't bear it. After all—"

Xia Jue said: "After all, what, after all, I am so good?"

As a result, Wen Xiao said another word at the same time as he said "good": Sao.

Xia Jue immediately gave Wen Xiao a head-hammer in embarrassment, and she was about to die with him.The two messed around childishly for a while, virtually dissolving the entanglement and sadness in the air.

"You still have to make your own decision," Wen Xiao finally said, kissing the tip of his nose, "No one can make the decision for you."

Xia Jue nodded.

In the end, the matter of volunteering was finalized, and it was a compromise: Xia Jue's first two filled in Nanchang University and Xiangtan University respectively, and then Beijing Industrial and Commercial University and Northern University of Technology, and the admission results were left to fate.

They made an appointment, and no matter what, their relationship would not change in the slightest.

Things about young people always seem to be like this, like the wind of travel, there will be some unexpected and reasonable turns, and there will be an end of God's will somewhere.

In addition, Wen Xiao's class planned a graduation trip, saying it was going to Nanjing.Tang Jiarong specially called Wen Xiao and asked him to attend.

Wen Xiao had no reason to refuse.On the night of the end of the college entrance examination, he impulsively "openly came out", and he was prepared to suffer unpleasant things, but afterwards everyone treated him the same as before, and very few people who deliberately alienated him only avoided and did not speak ill.

Wen Xiao likes these students. At a clean and bright age, they not only focus on learning, but also have their own personalities. They are simple, tolerant, and generous. Even if some of them do something wrong, they will take the initiative to admit their mistakes and apologize.

So his only question was just one sentence: Do you want to bring your family?

At least this summer vacation, he didn't want to miss Xia Jue for a day.

Tang Jiarong said with a smile: "Of course you can bring it casually, anyway, you pay by the head. I heard that as long as they have something, they will bring it. After all, there are so many people - happy graduation!"

"Happy graduation." Wen Xiao also replied, chatted for a while, and hung up the phone.

He went to the yard and told Xia Jue, who was squatting by the pond and concentrating on feeding the fish, that he suddenly thought that if it was true what Tang Jiarong said, he might meet Wang Can.

The author has something to say: I was so heartbroken that I even borrowed the latest version of the college entrance examination volunteer application guide from the sister next door.
