Back to my parents when I was seventeen

Meeting Shen Yubai's gaze, Xu Chu Ning's heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips nervously and whispered, "Are you so confident in me?"

"Yeah." Shen Yubai smiled and said to himself, "There's nothing I can do about it. You're Xu Chuning."

Xu Chu Ning was stunned and kept quiet for two seconds. "I will try my best not to let you down."

Shen Yubai curled his lips and narrowed his eyes, "I believe you, but don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Xu Chuning nodded.

Xu Chuning and Shen Sinian went back to the classroom to get their things before going to the examination room.

As the two walked into the examination room one after the other, the students who had arrived early looked up and stared at them.

Xu Chu Ning paused slightly, pretending that he saw nothing, and walked to his seat and sat down.

The same is true for Shen Sinian.

Not long after I sat down, the bell rang.

Immediately afterwards, the invigilator walked into the classroom and distributed the test papers.

Time in an exam will go by a little faster than in a normal class. In other words, time goes by faster when you concentrate.

Xu Chuning was concentrating on writing the test paper, calm and composed.

The same goes for Shen Sinian mentioned above.

All exams in the third year of Meiji Junior High School are the same as the college entrance examination, and the first subject in the morning is Chinese.

A few minutes before the bell rang, Xu Chu Ning put down the pen in his hand.

When the bell rang and she handed in the test paper, Shen Sinian turned around and looked at her, "Shall we go?"

Xu Chuning nodded.

When everyone walked out of the examination room, the sky outside was gray.

Shen Sinian didn't ask Xu Chuning how he did in the exam. The exam was already over, so there was not much point in discussing this issue.

The two of them went back to the classroom first, then Shen Sinian checked his phone, looked at Xu Chuning and said, "Shen Yubai said that there were too many people in the cafeteria at noon, and asked if we would like to eat outside."

Xu Chu Ning: "I can do anything."

A group of people made an appointment to have dinner in front of the school.

Everyone tacitly agreed not to mention the morning exam, but instead chatted about daily trivial matters.

As they chatted, Deng Xitong mentioned that she would go back to her hometown with her parents for the Chinese New Year. She said that she had a very annoying sister in her hometown who was two years younger than her and was in the first year of high school this year. Every time she went back, she would be singled out by the elders to be compared with that sister.

Deng Xitong felt depressed when talking about this.

Cheng Mingyin agreed: "I want to go back too. It gives me a headache to think about being asked about my grades during the Chinese New Year."

Yu Gaoyi: “Who says it’s not true?”

The three of them said, turning their attention to the other four people, "You don't seem to have this problem?"

Banshu: “…Why not?”

He pointed at Shen Yubai next to him and said, "My parents always compare me to him."

Shen Yubai raised his eyelids and said nothing.

Xu Chu Ning burst out laughing and comforted the three people, "Let's compare. At least now we are only comparing grades. In the future, the elders will have more things to compare."

Three people: "..."

Cheng Mingyin choked slightly and looked at Xu Chuning with resentment, "Are you really comforting me?"

Xu Chu Ning smiled helplessly, "I guess so."

Deng Xitong: "That's true. At least now I don't have to worry about work, including other trivial matters."

Xu Chu Ning hummed, "When will you return home?"

Deng Xitong: "I should go back two days before the Chinese New Year, because my parents won't be on holiday until then."

Cheng Mingyin: "I'm almost there too."

Several people ate and chatted in a harmonious atmosphere.

After dinner, they returned to school together.

They have exams in the afternoon, so they need to take a good rest and recharge their batteries.

"work hard."

When Xu Chu Ning and Shen Yu Bai parted, he left these words.

Xu Chuning curved his lips, "You too."

Shen Yubai nodded.

The two-day exam passed in the blink of an eye.

When the last subject was over, the students in the classroom cheered, and Xu Chu Ning also felt a sense of relief.

Back in the classroom, subject teachers came in one after another and assigned winter vacation homework to everyone.

The papers handed out piled up higher and higher. Deng Xitong whispered to Xu Chuning, "It's over. No one will have a good winter vacation."

Xu Chu Ning: "...It's indeed a bit exaggerated."

The teachers handed out more test papers and assigned more homework than during the summer vacation.

After the teachers of each subject handed out the test papers, Miao Xue walked into the classroom and made a final summary, "Soon, it will be your last winter vacation in high school. I wish you all a safe and happy winter vacation."

She stood on the podium, looked around, smiled and said, "At the same time, we only have the last intense period left, so I hope everyone will not forget to study during the holiday."

What Miao Xue said was not much different from what teachers of other subjects said. It was nothing more than reminding everyone not to forget to study while having fun.

Finally, Miao Xue wishes everyone a happy winter vacation and a happy New Year.

After giving the instructions, Miao Xue left. The students in the classroom packed up their books and test papers and prepared to go home.

Xu Chu Ning packed up his things and when he looked out the window inadvertently, he found that it was dark.

It gets dark early in winter, and it’s already pitch black at just after five o’clock.

"What are you looking at?" Deng Xitong asked, noticing her gaze.

Xu Chuning: "Look outside. When we come back after the Chinese New Year, those dry leaves will sprout new ones."

Deng Xitong blinked and couldn't help laughing, "Why are you suddenly so artistic?"

Xu Chuning raised his eyebrows: "I am a liberal arts student."

"That's true." Deng Xitong smiled, and when she was about to say something, her cell phone rang.

She answered the call and said a few words before hanging up. She looked at Xu Chu Ning and said, "My mom is already at the school gate. I'll leave first."

Xu Chuning: "Is it serious? Let Shen Sinian take you out."

Deng Xitong waved her hand, "It's not heavy, I can carry it. I'm leaving now. I'll go to the restaurant to meet you guys when I'm free during the holidays."

Xu Chuning: "Okay."

After Deng Xitong left, Xu Chuning and Shen Sinian also packed up their things.

Shen Yubai sent a message to the two of them early, asking them to wait for him.

Therefore, the two waited for Shen Yubai in the classroom for a while, and then he and Ban Shu came over together.

"Let's go." Shen Yubai walked into the classroom and naturally picked up Xu Chuning's schoolbag in his hand. "Go home first?"

Xu Chuning nodded.

After leaving the classroom, the four of them walked out of the school together.

At the school gate, Ban Shu's car was already waiting.

"Let's go first." Ban Shu bumped Shen Yubai's arm, "Let's play games together when we have time."

Shen Yubai curled his lips, "Let's talk about it later."

Ban Shu sighed softly, and lowered his voice in a somewhat unhappy tone, "You can't be so obsessed with beauty that you forget your friends. I will complain to Yan Shao."

Shen Yubai raised his eyes, "Would I be afraid?"

Ban Shu was choked and speechless for a moment.

Shen Yubai chuckled, "Don't keep the driver waiting for too long."

Banshu had no choice but to say, "Goodbye."

After saying goodbye to the three people, he got in the car and left.

After the people left, Xu Chu Ning and the other two were about to walk home when a familiar voice came from not far away, "Ning Ning."

Xu Chuning raised her eyes and was slightly stunned when she saw Xu Yiming and Ye Qiongfang. "Why are you here?"

Ye Qiongfang looked at her with amusement, "You are on vacation, so of course we are here to take you home."
