1987 My Era

Chapter 68, Dream Come True

Sun Manning deliberately interrupted at this time, "Don't tell him, he just wants to calculate the total score and snatch your special scholarship."

That was what he meant. Li Heng didn't hide it at all: "Let me die early and be reborn soon. Tell me, how much?"

Mai Sui said tenderly, "591 points."

11 points less than mine, calculated based on the 50% weight of the scholarship exam score:

11x0.5 = 5.5
This time, I scored 5.5 points more than Mai Sui.

Li Heng asked her about her scores in the midterm and final exams last semester, and the results shocked him.

In the midterm exam last semester, Mai Sui scored 12 points higher than him!
Calculated based on the weight of 20%: 12x0.2=2.4
The final exam was slightly better, with Mai Sui only 10 points higher than him.

Calculated based on the weight of 30%: 10x0.3=3
5.5-2.4-3 = 0.1
"Wow! After calculating the scores of three exams, you actually scored 0.1 more than Mai Sui? Only 0.1 more!!!" Sun Manning, who was lying on the pile of books watching his calculations, exclaimed in surprise at the result.

Damn, it’s only 0.1…

Li Heng was also a little confused. When he first learned about her score, he thought he had no hope at all.

What was unexpected was that I was leading by a narrow 0.1 point in the end.

Wheat Ear was very indifferent to this result.

Because she had secretly calculated it in bed last night, she admitted that she did feel a little uncomfortable at first.

But after a night's rest, her mood had already completely adjusted.

Mai Sui generously sent his blessing: "Come on, I hope you can squeeze out Luo Zhijie and realize your dream successfully!"

Mai Sui did not mention Song Yu or Xiao Feng because both of them performed better than him in last year's final exams and scholarship exams, so Li Heng could not grab a spot.

Li Heng sincerely said: "Thank you!"

Then he added jokingly: "If your dream really comes true, you can get a bottle of soda right away."

Mai Sui's black eyes were charming and she smiled and said yes.

The morning self-study class was a Chinese class, but the principal was not there, so everyone was reciting and reviewing freely.

However, the harsh scolding coming from the corridor from time to time always made everyone in the classroom tremble with fear.

Halfway through morning self-study, the school loudspeaker suddenly sounded.

Later, two "Hello" were heard from inside. Apparently, some school leaders were testing the microphone sound system.

After hearing the two "Hello", the class gradually quieted down, and then a tense atmosphere quickly filled the entire classroom.

This is not the first time we have encountered this situation, and everyone’s conditioned reflex is: Has the scholarship list come out?
Is the school going to announce it?
Maybe because he was just one step away from achieving his greatest wish in high school, Li Heng felt inexplicably nervous.

Old Chinese doctors often say that eating sugar can soothe people's nerves.

Li Heng thought about it and wrote on the notebook: Is there any candy?
After writing, he handed the notebook to Mai Sui.

Mai Sui likes to eat candy and often brings it with him. Sometimes it is candy wrapped in paper, and sometimes it is granular candy, the kind that costs one cent each.

After taking the notebook and looking at it, Mai Sui reached his right hand into the right corner of the desk and quickly took out a handful of candies.

I took a look and saw that it was the rare White Rabbit candy.

"This is a good thing, it's rare to eat it, just give me one." Faced with a handful of candies, Li Heng was not greedy and only took one.

Mai Sui didn't listen. He gently placed the remaining candy on his desk and turned back to reading.

This girl is quite generous, Li Heng exclaimed in praise, and then based on muscle memory, he habitually gave half to Song Yu.

While doing this, he didn't feel any discomfort at all.

It was only after they were done that he realized belatedly that this was a bit abrupt considering their current relationship wasn't that advanced yet.

But now that things have come to this, he doesn't care anymore and just lets it be.

If there is anyone in this world who can make him lose his mind and do ridiculous things, and cause his emotions to fluctuate drastically, that person must be Song Yu, Xiao Han and Chen Zijin.

It can only be Song Yu, Xiao Han and Chen Zijin.

Other people, not even his own parents, can't do that. It's like grabbing Song Yu's hand excitedly when they meet for the first time after being reborn. From her perspective, it must be very incomprehensible and unreasonable, but he still did it instinctively.

Seeing a big hand reaching under her eyes, with the palm full of candy, Song Yu smiled beautifully, then picked up a pen and wrote on the notebook: I have candy.

Li Heng replied: This is White Rabbit.

Song Yu wrote: The same.

Li Heng asked: Did Mai Sui give it to you voluntarily?

Song Yu wrote: Yes.

Li Heng said jokingly: It seems there is still a difference. I have to ask for it. Suddenly, I felt that the candy was not sweet anymore.

The smile on Song Yu's face grew wider and spread to the corners of her eyes.

Li Heng wrote: Take out your candy and exchange it with me for another batch. I want to eat yours.

Seeing this line of words, Song Yu, who was a little happy just now, gradually restrained all her expressions. She sat upright and calmed down for a while before she opened her schoolbag.

then…

And then nothing happened. The bag was left open, waiting quietly.

Having been with her for so many years in his previous life, Li Heng already knew her temper very well. He stopped being polite and reached into her schoolbag with his right hand, put down the candy in his palm, and grabbed out another pile of candies.

The whole process was clean and neat, taking less than three seconds.

Li Heng peeled a pill and put it in his mouth, then wrote: Do you want to say thank you?

Song Yu replied: No need, this candy is made of wheat ears.

Li Heng wrote: "Just the two words "no need" are enough, and cross out the sentence after that.

Song Yu looked at him and put the notebook away.

There seemed to be something wrong with the microphone in the school broadcasting room. There was a lot of noise and it took more than ten minutes to fix it.

"Hey hey..."

After two more tentative "hello", the leader opened the topic:

"The list of senior year scholarships is as follows. Students whose names are called please go to the Academic Affairs Office now..."

Sure enough, the scholarship list is out!
After a series of awkward and suffocating sounds, the classroom fell into absolute silence.

The broadcast voice continued:

"Special Scholarship, Liberal Arts: Xiao Feng, Song Yu, Li Heng..."

If the first two names were within everyone's expectations and sounded calm,

But the third name: Li Heng!!!
The whole class turned their heads in shock!

120 in Math, 602 in total was already pretty impressive. But at that time many people thought that the third spot would definitely go to Mai Sui.

Because in the past few years, Mai Sui was a frequent recipient of special scholarships, but he made a mistake once and was replaced by Luo Zhijie.

And now, Mai Sui has missed the special scholarship again and has been replaced by the "upstart" Li Heng.

Yes! That's right! Li Heng is now a rising star.

In the eyes of both students and teachers, Li Heng, whose English and Chinese have improved, is already at the same level as the top four academic masters and is a top candidate for admission to Tsinghua University and Peking University.

Song Yu smiled and handed over a note with only two words on it: Congratulations!
Don't underestimate the simple words "Congratulations", but it is the first blessing he has ever received, which is worth a thousand gold! It means a lot to him.

Li Heng replied: Thank you!

He shouted happily in his heart: Half of my wish in high school has been fulfilled!

It’s really not easy!
