Chapter 42. Eighteen-year-old reunion(1/2)
There are two months left before the college entrance examination.
People's adaptability is actually much stronger than I imagined. Xuezhu finally got used to the new school, the people in the new school, and a new school uniform.
She worked very hard, even if she was studying in her spare time, there was not much difference between day and late night for her, only the difference between daylight and light.
The efforts of many things in this world may not necessarily be proportional to the reward, such as feelings.
But learning will definitely not betray those who are willing to work hard.
Perhaps it is because in the new environment that Xuezhu finally understands what is most important to him.
It is her own future and a long life in the future.
Not those past.
From the beginning of the semester, she slowly entered the top 200, until the last weekly exam, she got 75th in the whole grade.
When the teacher sent the latest weekly test results to the student's parents' mobile phones, Pei Lianyi, who worked until very late every day, rarely came to school to look for Xuezhu in one afternoon.
During the self-study class, Xuezhu was doing the simulation paper by herself. The head teacher asked her to come out at the door and said that her father was here.
The father and daughter did not stand outside the hallway of the classroom and talked. The father and daughter went downstairs to find a quiet pavilion. Pei Lianyi of the experimental school kept holding a paper bag in his hand. When Xuezhu sat down properly, she handed it to her.
"This is the reward my dad gave you. Open it and see if you like it or not." Pei Lianyi said.
She took out a cell phone box from the paper bag.
It is the iPhone 5s released last year.
Xuezhu has been using the mobile phone for a long time now, and the operation has been a bit stuttered. She usually uses MP4 for listening, and the mobile phone is mainly used to contact her father, and it has no use.
She asked softly: "Why did you suddenly buy me such an expensive phone?"
Pei Lianyi smiled and said, "Uncle Li said there are many children in your class with good conditions. Last time I saw a high school student on the road all use 6."
It is fake to say that you don't like it.
Compared to the bulky old phone, the lightness and fashion of the new phone made her love unsatisfied.
Dad sat next to her, and the part protruding in his pocket was the outline of his cell phone.
Xuezhu remembers that her father had been using his phone for a long time, and even the screen broke twice, but he had not changed it yet.
The career is still in its infancy, of course, you can save as much as you can.
Pei Lianyi had a social engagement in the afternoon, and told her to take care of herself at school and not to leave in a hurry.
Xuezhu returned to the classroom, stuffed her new phone into the desk, and continued to write the unfinished simulation paper.
After a while, the head teacher asked her to come to the office again and called several other people together.
Xuezhu and a few people walked towards the office. On the way, everyone was discussing what the teacher asked them to do in the office. Some were expecting and some were worried. Xuezhu was a transfer student. Sometimes when they communicated in local language, she was a little tired of understanding, so she walked to the side without saying anything, just listening to them.
When I arrived at the office, the head teacher in his early forties said directly: "I called you here because of this. The school of the solo piano team is recruiting people now. I know that you are all learning piano. Although time is a little tight now, you can get extra points after winning the award. One point can determine whether the university you are admitted to can be upgraded to a higher level. How about it? Are you willing to divide your energy into the competition?"
If you have more energy, you may not be able to get so many points in the college entrance examination. If you win the prize in the competition, you will get a real extra point in the college entrance examination. Of course, no one is unwilling to do so.
Snow bamboo is naturally willing.
After the class teacher finished talking about this, he asked the students to continue to go back to the classroom to study.
The snow bamboo fell at the end and was stopped by the head teacher.
She turned around and said, "Teacher, is there anything else?"
"Your father told me that you have been learning piano for many years and your level is very good. Although it has been a little hard work, the teacher believes that you can grasp it with both hands. You should know where the music classroom is, right? If you don't know, ask your classmates. You can practice piano in it during lunch break," the head teacher said in a kind tone, "Come on, Pei Xuezhu."
"Thank you, teacher."
Xuezhu walked out of the classroom and found that the few classmates who had just left had not left yet.
One of them asked her: "Why are you so slow? Waiting for a long time."
Xuezhu quickly followed the students and heard that they would form a team to practice piano in the music building during class. Xuezhu took a deep breath and asked softly if they could bring him with them.
"Otherwise? Do you let you go alone? You don't know how to get to the music building."
She smiled: "Thank you."
The girl's eyes are extremely beautiful in shape, and when she smiles, her eyes bend out of the curve of a crescent-like smile.
A boy suddenly said to others as if he had seen the New World: "Damn Pei Xuezhu, she laughed, is she the first time she has transferred to school? "
Xuezhu was a little stunned.
She remembered that her smile didn't seem to be very rare. In the past, my mother always said that she was laughing low, but when she heard something funny, she smiled like a fool.
On the way back to the classroom, I passed the stairs up and down the stairs and walked up the stairs below, a group of boys laughing and laughing. They were all very tall. Xuezhu walked on this side of the stairs. When she was burying her head forward, she heard a boy whispering to others: "Hey, this is the girl who turned to Class 11."
Xuezhu obviously felt their eyes looking at him.
"Pei Xuezhu?"
Pei Xuezhu turned her head in surprise when she heard someone calling her name, and her memory of this person was still at the age of fifteen.
"Chi Yue? Do you know her?"
The boy opened his eyes wide and was stunned for several seconds. He stood on the lower stairs and looked up at Xuezhu. It was not until the people around him asked again that he realized it and said: "Elementary school plus junior high school classmates."
People around him, including Chi Yue and Xuezhu's classmates, immediately made ambiguous expressions.
Chi Yue ignored these people and walked up the stairs to look at her face, as if he was still sure whether he was wrong.
"Why are you here? Aren't you studying at No. 1 Middle School?" The more he spoke, the more surprised he became. "You were fired from No. 1 Middle School?"
“…”
Xuezhu is 100% sure that this person is Chi Yue.
***
There was still class in the afternoon, and the two of them met in a hurry on the stairs and went back to the classroom.
It was not until the evening study period that Xuezhu was busy sorting out the wrong questions in the classroom. When she was helpless for a question that was the same type but was wrong every time, someone shouted her name.
"Pei Xuezhu, come out."
She raised her eyes and looked at the door. Chi Yue was leaning against the door frame, putting one hand in her trouser pocket, and hooking her fingers.
There were people chattering in the class.
In order to avoid being gossiped, Xuezhu had to put down her pen and walked out with a tough bullet. When she first walked out, she turned around and looked into the classroom. Sure enough, she found that the classmates were all stretching their necks to look out. She had to pull Chi Yue's clothes and pull him aside to speak.
She said directly: "What are you looking for me?"
Chi Yue was also very direct: "What can you do? Let's reminisce about the past."
"Then why don't you look for me during the day?" Xuezhu looked at the dark sky outside the teaching building. "If you can still talk to the playground during the day, no one can see it."
"Are you stupid?" Chi Yue laughed, "No matter whether you go to the playground during the day or at night, as long as a man and a woman walk together, you will be caught in love early?"
"..." How did she know? She is a transfer student.
"Let's go, I'll take you to the basketball court. There are many people playing basketball there at night, and others won't notice us." Chi Yue hooked his finger at her again.
"Is it okay to slip away in the evening self-study?" Xuezhu was a little worried.
"You ask your classmate to tell you, and when the teacher asks you, you will say you have gone to the bathroom and ask her to contact you on your phone at any time."
Seeing Chi Yue's skillful appearance, Xue Zhu thought that this was probably a veteran who escaped from evening self-study.
She followed Chi Yue to the basketball court, and the two of them sat down in the seat next to them.
"Why don't you tell me when you turn around? When did you turn around?"
"Just this semester."
"It's been so long, so you can go to QQ and tell me. I've always heard that a girl from Class 11 transferred, but I didn't expect it was you."
Xuezhu felt strange: "Why do you know so clearly when you transfer a transfer student?"
Chi Yue pursed his lips and said, "Care for classmates."
Xuezhu obviously didn't believe it, but she had no interest in asking questions. She held her chin and watched some boys playing basketball on the basketball court in a daze.
Suddenly a ball flew towards her. Xuezhu reacted quickly and hid to the side.
"Hey, classmate, can you help us send the basketball?" The boy under the ball frame shouted here.
Xuezhu picked up the basketball and was about to throw it over, but the boy shouted again: "Classmate, I'm afraid you won't be able to throw it away, so I'll come to you to get it."
"No, I'll throw it right," Chi Yue stretched out his hand towards Xuezhu, "Give me the ball."
After taking the ball, Chi Yue directly smashed the ball towards the boy's head under the basket.
Fortunately, the boy hid quickly and was about to curse, Chi Yue grinned and shouted lazily: "Classmate, I am good at skill, right?"
“…”
The episode ended and the two sat down again.
"Now, why do I know that there is a girl from Class 11 who turns around?" Chi Yue asked her.
Xuezhu frowned: "Ah?"
Chi Yue also frowned, stared at her for a long time, with a complicated expression, and muttered, "Forget it, just your IQ is useless to tell you."
Xuezhu thought he looked down on him and said unconvincedly: "What do you mean?"
Chi Yue's tone was irritable: "You look pretty good--" Those two words were held in your throat and couldn't even spit it out. He awkwardly changed the word, "It's not ugly, do you know? So some boys pay more attention to you, do you know?"
Xuezhu was shy for two or three seconds after understanding it, but soon returned to the cold look he had just now: "Oh."
Chi Yue asked tentatively: "What about you? What do you think?"
"I don't have any ideas," said Xuezhu. "I want to study hard now and get into a good university."
Too much time and tears have been wasted before transferring to school.
I don’t want to let down my parents’ expectations for her, and I don’t want to underestimate myself because of that person.
He is as dazzling as a star. Since it does not belong to her, she will strive to be a star that will shine by herself.
To be continued...
