The courtyard: the atmosphere of human life

For Ruyi, the time in her senior year of high school was extremely busy and stressful.

Because Song Jinyu was taking physical examinations, her training and competitions became more and more frequent after she entered her senior year of high school.

The little boy who always used to wait for Ruyi at the gate of the community hasn't appeared for a long time.

Ruyi waits for the bus, rides the bus, and travels between home and school alone every day.

Although there are dormitories in the school, Darong refused to let Ruyi arrange accommodation no matter what. Later, Ruyi found out that Darong was afraid that she would fall in love prematurely if she lived in the school without anyone to supervise her.

"Why are you standing in the corner again?"

When Ruyi went to the office to hand in the paper, she passed by Song Jinyu's class and saw him standing against the wall as punishment again. She asked with amusement.

Song Jinyu didn't say anything, she just lowered her head awkwardly and kept laughing.

If you don't say anything, just continue walking towards the office with a stack of test papers.

When Ruyi came back, Song Jinyu suddenly called her in a low voice.

"Zhong Ruotong, wait for me after school tonight."

Ruyi smiled and nodded, then returned to her class.

After school in the evening, Ruyi waited for Song Jinyu at the bus stop. The evening breeze after the beginning of winter made Ruyi's face red.

"Why are you so slow? You're freezing!"

It was not until almost all the students waiting for the bus had left that Song Jinyu finally ran out of the school.

After running to Ruyi, Song Jinyu quickly opened her coat and wanted to take it off and give it to Ruyi.

"Stop, stop, stop. If you have something to say, just say it. Don't do this useless stuff. This is not a TV show."

Song Jinyu's hands froze in place awkwardly, and she shook her head with a wry smile.

"Zhong Ruotong, when can you speak to me politely?"

"Tell me quickly, what's the matter?" Ruyi did not respond to him, but continued to ask him what he wanted to see her about.

"I passed the physical examination. If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to enter the Sports College." Song Jinyu said with a smile.

"So you want to be an athlete in the future?"

Ruyi actually didn't understand the significance of Song Jinyu coming to talk to her about this matter, she just chatted with him happily.

“I want to be a teacher.”

"Physical education teacher? Pretty good."

Ruyi looked at Song Jinyu's expression, as if she suddenly understood what he meant, but she continued to pretend to be confused and answered.

"Zhong Ruotong..."

"The car is coming, get in!"

Ruyi looked at the familiar bus appearing in the distance and interrupted Song Jinyu.

On the bus during the evening rush hour, people were crowded together. The two teenagers were silent all the way until Ruyi got off the bus, and then Song Jinyu also got off.

"Song Jinyu, why do you like me? Am I good-looking?"

Ruyi suddenly looked up and asked Song Jinyu.

"Do you have any misunderstanding about your appearance?"

Song Jinyu looked at Ruyi with a smirk on her face and answered.

"Tsk... But I think so, otherwise why would no one pursue me except you?"

Ruyi rolled her eyes and turned to walk towards her own neighborhood.

"Zhong Ruotong, are you stupid?"

"Hey! Has it been years since I last hit you?"

Later, Ruyi realized that no one pursued her not because she was not good-looking, but because Song Jinyu was by her side day and night, so who would dare to pursue her?

In the year when Ruyi took the college entrance examination, the method of estimating scores was still being implemented. All students were in the small auditorium carefully recalling their answers, for fear that the deviation in the estimated scores would affect their application.

"Ruyi, how many points did you estimate?" Xiaoxue came close to Ruyi and looked at the score she calculated on the scratch paper.

"Not too high, just the average score on the mock exam, what about you?"

"My grades are not as good as yours, so I feel like getting into a second-tier university is a bit risky." Xiaoxue sighed and flipped through the application reference book in her hand.

As a directly-administered city, Yutian has certain score protection, and the admission score for local candidates will be lower than that for candidates from other provinces and cities.

In order to attract students from big cities, remote provinces and cities will also lower the admission scores for candidates from these cities.

This actually led to the "candidate immigration" status of Yutian at that time. Many parents who worked outside bought houses and settled in Yutian for the sake of this college entrance examination policy, in order to gain a better chance for their children in the college entrance examination.

"Ruyi, what's your estimated score? Which one do you plan to apply for?"

Jindan waited for Ruyi downstairs at her house early in the morning just to ask about her college entrance examination choices.

"How much do you have?" Ruyi looked at the golden egg and did not answer his question.

"It should be no problem to get into a first-class university, but it may be a little bit short of a prestigious one." Jindan looked at Ruyi and answered happily.

"The second one should be fine, but the first one may be a little short." Ruyi said, imitating Jindan's tone.

"Then where do you plan to apply?" Jindan smiled even more brightly after hearing Ruyi's words.

"Anyway, I don't want to leave Yutian, but I haven't decided where to report to."

After hearing this, Jindan just nodded silently.

On the day of filling out the application form, Ruyi had just arrived downstairs at the small lecture hall when she ran into Xiaohuya who was walking out.

"Zhong Ruotong, how did you do in the exam?"

Little Tiger Teeth called out Ruyi's name cheerfully, but Ruyi became inexplicably nervous.

"Teacher Du...Teacher Du, the test result is average. The estimated score is not much different from the usual results."

Little Tiger Teeth looked at Ruyi and nodded, then asked, "Have you decided what major to study?"

At that time, classmates would only communicate with each other about the schools they wanted to apply to, but Xiao Huya knew the meaning of university better and directly asked Ruyi about the major he wanted to apply for.

"I don't know either. I haven't thought about it yet." Ruyi looked at Xiaohuya honestly and answered.

"You've already come here to fill out your application, but you haven't made up your mind yet? Are you planning on ordering on the spot?"

Little Tiger Teeth looked at Ruyi and said jokingly with a warm smile: "For girls, you can actually look into accounting majors, which are relatively stable."

"Accounting? Well, that's what my uncle does."

"That's great. Think about it carefully and don't fill in your application blindly." After giving Ruyi an instruction, Little Tiger Teeth walked out the door with his textbook.

After taking two steps, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Ruyi: "The second half, 100 percent."

"Ah?" Ruyi looked at Xiaohuya in confusion, with a look of confusion on her face.

Little Tiger Teeth didn't say anything more. He just showed his signature little tiger teeth and smiled slightly, then turned around and continued to walk forward.

Jindan was eventually admitted to Yutian University, one of the leading universities in Yutian, and Song Jinyu also entered Yutian Sports College as she wished.

With Xiao Huya's advice, Zhong Ruyi applied for Yutian College of Finance and Economics and was admitted in the second batch.

"Zhong Ruyi, you were so close! You almost missed the mark. You are amazing. Don't you know how low your score was?"

After receiving the admission letter, Darong finally breathed a sigh of relief.
