Chapter 96: Half of the Second Year of High School is Empty

The Qiu family had a fulfilling weekend. When people are happy, they feel that time flies.

On Monday morning, Qiu Huoming arrived later than usual and entered the classroom just as the morning bell rang.

As soon as I stepped into the classroom, I found that the atmosphere was wrong. He Xinxin, the study committee member who always came early, had not arrived yet for the first time.

However, Fatty and Gu Xiaoran had already arrived, and Fatty was sitting in his seat yawning.

Qiu Huoming took a quick look and found the class empty.

Most of the seats are vacant.

Li Ming was flipping through his textbook listlessly and didn't even notice him come in.

Qiu Huoming had just sat back down when the bell rang, and the ringing stopped abruptly. He slapped Ding Yu on the shoulder and asked in a low voice, "Why didn't Lao He come?"

Before Ding Yu could say anything, Gu Xiaoran turned around and said to him, "He Xinxin is studying at a technical school."

"Ah? Her grades are so good, why doesn't she take the college entrance examination and try her best?" This time Qiu Huoming was really surprised.

"Her family asked her to go to school, so she can get a job at her aunt's workplace after graduation."

"What a pity! She can get into a normal technical secondary school. I heard that she has always wanted to be a teacher... So, how did you know about this?" Qiu Huoming asked back.

"She came early in the morning and said she was here to see Teacher Huang. She chatted with me for a while and then left." Gu Xiaoran looked melancholy.

There were few girls in the class to begin with. Apart from one who was eliminated in the preliminary exam and He Xinxin's departure this time, there are only four left.

The 20 students in the class looked deserted compared to the more than 50 students before.

Ding Yu looked even more dejected, holding his chin and saying, "When she's not in the classroom, I always feel like something is missing!"

It was a rare occasion that Qiu Huoming did not refute him this time. He also held his chin and looked at the rows in front. Chen Yong did not pass the exam this time, so his seat was empty.

The grudges during student life are meaningless once you leave the campus, unless it is real bullying that causes lifelong harm to some people.

Qiu Huoming had not suffered any loss in the battles with Chen Yong, so he could easily let go of the matter. Of course, he didn't care whether the other party thought the same way or not.

In the future, he will always leave here and go to a wider place. This little episode may not make a splash in the long river of life.

Qiu Huoming retracted his gaze and patted Ding Yu on the shoulder, "Okay, Fatty, stop looking and start reviewing..."

Ding Yu took out his textbook dejectedly and muttered quietly: "Don't even let me catch my breath. I still have something to say."

"Okay, you talk, and I'll listen."

Ding Yu raised his eyebrows, "Then I'll tell you."

"Let me tell you, my mom has been very nice to me these past few days. All my neighbors are bragging about her. My brother has poor grades and didn't even get into high school. I'm better than him, but not by much. This time..."

The fat man sighed, "I saw my mother so happy. I don't know why, but I felt a little sad. She is so happy now. If I fail to get into college, she will be so embarrassed..."

Gu Xiaoran turned his head and said, "Fatty, I didn't expect you to be so thoughtful!"

The fat man's eyebrows curved and he smiled, "You think so too? Hey, Huozi, what do you think about me writing a novel too?"

Qiu Huoming nodded with satisfaction as he watched the fat man's mood change without warning. "Okay, there is a literary model called madman literature, where everything is advanced through madness..."

"Puchi," Gu Xiaoran laughed, "You are talking nonsense again. I have never heard of this kind of literary model."

"I think Fatty can create a precedent for crazy literature and become a literary master of his generation." Qiu Huoming looked at Ding Yu affectionately.

Ding Yu shuddered. He was clearly being implicated, but he had no evidence.

He flipped open the textbook angrily, held his chin in his hand, and began to mutter, "Alas! The heart of one person is the heart of thousands of people..."

Ancient Chinese must be memorized, and this is also his weakest point.

The national college entrance examination is held on July 7, 7 and 8. It is already mid-May now, and there is only more than a month left before the college entrance examination. In fact, this amount of time for review is just a drop in the bucket for many people, and has very limited impact on improving scores.

After all, the college entrance examination does not only test the courses taken in the second year of high school, it also tests the knowledge accumulated in daily life.

Teacher Huang finally came in when the morning class was almost over.

He looked around the classroom. He had expected the result of this test. Class 3 performed quite well this time, with several dark horses emerging. He was even praised in person by the school leaders.

He stood on the podium and coughed lightly. "Dear students, our class performed well in this preliminary exam, but more than half of the students still failed. We are reluctant to let them go, but this is the cruel reality..."

"There are still 50 days until the college entrance examination... I still have to memorize some subjects that can get me good scores. I can't slack off just because I passed the pre-exam. This year's college entrance examination has an advantage. In previous years, I filled in my application before the college entrance examination, but this year I filled in my application after the scores were released, which gives everyone room to choose..."

"Whether you are taking the undergraduate, junior college, or technical secondary school entrance exams, you must take it seriously. There is no second chance in life. Seize the moment. If you can stand out in the pre-exam, you will have the opportunity to show your talents in the college entrance exam. Okay, all the courses that follow will focus on review. If you don't understand something, ask the teacher in time..."

He wanted to say something else, but the bell rang. He pushed his glasses up, looking a little reluctant, "Okay, that's enough. get out of class dismissed."

Ding Yu quickly laid down on the table. "My brain is full of classical Chinese. It's a new era now, and I still have to learn such decadent things..."

Qiu Huoming sneered: "The existing civilization is accumulated from the past. If you forget the past, it is equivalent to denying your present."

"That's a good point." Gu Xiaoran had no idea that she was being discovered eavesdropping. She turned her head and asked, "Where did you learn all these great principles from?"

Qiu Huoming raised the textbook in his hand and said, "Lu Xun once said that life has no reason at all, but when more people talk about it, it becomes a reason."

"Pfft, you're using your heresy again. Lu Xun never said that."

"Hey, what about the rest of the novel you wrote last time? Have you finished it?"

Qiu Huoming touched his nose and said, "I wrote it, but I sent it out."

This time even Ding Yu joined the crusade, "Good boy, you promised to show it to us first!"

Qiu Huoming smiled disdainfully, "I have a brain. I remember everything I wrote clearly. Why would I need paper and pen? Just be nice to me and I'll tell you..."

Ding Yu's expression immediately changed, "Okay, Huozi, I'll bring you meat buns for breakfast tomorrow."

Then both of them turned their eyes to Gu Xiaoran.

Gu Xiaoran was stunned, and immediately put on a righteous look, "Power cannot bend me, poverty cannot change me... young people like me should not encourage evil tendencies!"

Qiu Huoming gave her a thumbs up and said, "Girl, I admire you. Okay, I'll start from the second chapter..."
