Era: The naive beauty charmed the villain!

When we first came to the countryside, we might have read books in our spare time.

But over time, the arduous physical labor wore away the older educated youth's yearning for knowledge.

During those difficult years when there was no hope in sight, some of the former educated youth even forgot most of the knowledge they had learned before.

As soon as the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination came out, the exam was scheduled shortly afterward.

The review time was very short.

It is indeed very difficult to pick up all the knowledge and stuff it into your brain in such a short period of time.

However, the educated youth who failed the exam did not give up. Instead, they encouraged each other and began to study even harder.

Now that the college entrance examination has been reinstated, we have a goal to strive for no matter what.

If they fail the exam the first time, they take it twice; if they fail twice, they take it three times.

The path to advancement has been opened; as long as we work hard, there is always hope.

Except for Gao Jingxuan.

Gao Jingxuan has been sick on and off ever since he returned from the college entrance examination.

The clothes I wore when I went to the countryside now look much sparser.

He fell silent, and during this time he gradually became a gloomy shadow, never again showing the spiritedness he once had.

The day the college entrance examination results came out, the entire educated youth settlement was in an uproar. Everyone gathered in the courtyard, chattering excitedly regardless of whether they had passed or not.

He locked himself in his room and didn't go out all day.

His expression changed slightly after he heard that Niu Yongfeng had been admitted to a university in his hometown.

He still remembers the day of the college entrance examination, when they went to the examination hall early to wait for the exam to begin.

Niu Yongfeng forgot the solution to a difficult problem and was so anxious he almost cried.

It was he who taught Niu Yongfeng how to answer the question.

That question was very simple for Gao Jingxuan. He didn't need to think much; he just needed to glance at it to know the correct answer.

However, Niu Yongfeng asked the same question again and again during his review period, and even until the last moment before the college entrance examination, he still anxiously asked others.

Niu Yongfeng has been admitted to university.

He never got to go to university in his life.

Gao Jingxuan sat alone at the table, watching the shadow cast by the sunlight streaming in through the window slowly tilt and disappear.

In a daze, I realized that it had already gotten completely dark.

Gao Jingxuan found it both laughable and strange.

In a daze, I felt that his life shouldn't be like this.

In the cold darkness, he thought for a very long time.

.

In the past few days, Lin An'an felt that Gu Qingsong was acting strangely, as if he was deliberately avoiding her.

But he would send her things every day in different ways, and when asked what was wrong, he wouldn't say.

Lin Jincheng also seemed a little different than usual, becoming somewhat cautious in his interactions with her.

Lin An'an initially thought it was her imagination, but after a few days, she became certain that there was definitely something going on between the two.

Last night, Lin An'an tentatively asked Gu Qingsong if there was anything he wanted to tell her.

Gu Qingsong's face stiffened upon hearing this.

But this time he was surprisingly stubborn and changed the subject, asking Lin An'an if she wanted some new clothes made for the new season.

Since Gu Qingsong couldn't be persuaded, Lin An'an decided to try to get through to Lin Jincheng.

After finishing breakfast, Gu Qingsong went out to work.

Lin Jincheng keenly sensed that something was amiss, and after finishing breakfast, he hid in the kitchen.

Lin An'an followed him into the kitchen.

"Jincheng, you've been acting a bit strange these past few days."
