In mid-June, Rongshi was already as hot as a stove. Xiang Zhiyuan felt like he was torturing himself when he went to learn how to drive in this weather.

The sun was already unreasonably hot, and the air conditioner in the coach car was like an old lady lingering on her last breath, sounding like she was about to go on strike.Practicing in the car in this kind of environment, people are almost unavoidable. The sunscreen will be sweated off within a few minutes after being applied, and the physical sunscreen can only be used to barely cover it.

It's no secret that Xiang Zhiyuan is afraid of the heat. The coach turns on the lingering air conditioner like an electric fan every day and lets him blow it. In this way, he still has to carry a large bottle of mineral water to the car. After two hours of practice, all the water can be wiped out. , Barely make up for the sweat.Because he was in a hurry to make an appointment for the exam, he took the exam within two days after practicing the second subject, and passed the third subject very easily. Apart from being very tanned, he had no other problems, and he was only one step away from getting the certificate.

On the day of the test subject three, the college entrance examination scores were due to be issued, and the branch channel was opened at 12:[-] noon. Guessing that he should be in the test car at that time, he woke up in the morning and sent a message to Yuan Xu first.

——I don’t know if I can finish the exam at 12 o’clock, please help me check the results.

He reported his examination admission ticket and ID number to Yuan Xu, and then went to the examination room relaxed.It was already past twelve o'clock when he came out again. He took out the phone from the storage box, and before he had time to unlock it, the news from Yuan Xu popped out with the exclusive notification sound.

—Guess how much you got in the test.

Yuan Xu asked him.

Xiang Zhiyuan smiled and called him back.

"What's the reward for guessing right?"

"No," Yuan Xu was a little dissatisfied with his unreasonable behavior of playing cards, and said dryly, "You will know your result if you guess correctly."

"I just came out of the examination room of Subject [-]. It's so hot." Xiang Zhiyuan bought a bottle of water from the canteen at the entrance of the examination room, drank a couple of sips, and then went to the nearby parking lot to find his car , "You have already called me, but my mother hasn't moved yet. Now I suspect that she may already know that I will not be admitted to college, and she is going to take you over overnight to raise you as her own son."

Yuan Xu was still doing well, he was talking nonsense to himself, and he made himself amused first.

"Don't be poor," Yuan Xu followed him with a smile, instead of being entangled in the inappropriate joke, he asked him instead, "How did you do in the test of subject three?"

"Pass, and you can get a certificate after finishing subject four next week."

Xiang Zhiyuan found Uncle Lin's car in the parking lot. After getting in the car, he felt rescued by the air conditioner. He leaned on the back seat and chatted with him casually. He almost forgot about his college entrance examination results until Yuan Xu changed the subject. It was only when I came back that I remembered that he didn't know how much he scored in the test.

"So how much did I take?" He asked Yuan Xu.

"It's almost 680." Yuan Xu said.

"……what?"

Xiang Zhiyuan was stunned.

"679, it's still close to getting into top2, but if you get into X University, you can choose your major." Yuan Xu finally couldn't help laughing, "Congratulations, your hard work was not in vain."

In fact, Xiang Zhiyuan had a good idea of ​​how many points he could get after the exam, but the score was a little higher than he estimated, which was a surprise.

"What about you?" He asked Yuan Xu.

"645, within the predicted range." Yuan Xu said, "I estimate that the provincial ranking should be around 50, but the state of the exam was not good, so this score is not wronged."

The scores in arts and sciences were different, but hearing what he said, the stone in Xiang Zhiyuan's heart finally fell to the ground.

"Is it time to start volunteering for research?"

"Wait until you go home, I have to tell my dad first." Yuan Xu said, "I'm going to check your score, I haven't had time to tell him."

After finishing the call, Xiang Zhiyuan opened WeChat and looked, there were indeed a lot of happy or worrying news in Moments, he didn't bother to take a closer look, he first liked Deng Yue's "I have read a book", and then cut Return to the dialog box with Yuan Xu, and forward the score screenshot sent by the other party to the family group.

——Xiao Yuan is amazing! [like]

The eldest aunt probably happened to be brushing, and immediately came out to meet him. Not long after, the uncle came with his grandparents, and sent a row of middle-aged and elderly emoticons.Xiang Zhiyuan was overjoyed, and returned with a clasped fist expression. Just as he was about to call Jiang Jing, Jiang Jing's call came first.

"It's ok, don't say that the score is as high as X, even better ones can go." She said.

"No, I'll go to X University." Xiang Zhiyuan said, "I've already agreed with Yuan Xu."

"I didn't tell you not to go, you can go wherever you like." Jiang Jing was quite contemptuous of this behavior of having a wife and forgetting her mother, and said unhappily, "How is the test of subject three? I will show you the car tonight. go."

Che Xiang Zhiyuan didn't bother to look at it. He didn't even have a driver's license, so he wasn't in a hurry.Jiang Jing wanted to buy him a car as a reward, but seeing his lack of interest, she didn't bother to go and asked him what he wanted.

"You don't have to worry about food and clothing. You don't need a car or limited-edition sneakers. I really don't know what rewards I can give you." She hugged the walnut and said.

"Nothing is missing, it's not a big problem."

Xiang Zhiyuan was grooming Xingren. The orange cat might really be another creature. Xingren was only three years old, and looked twice as big as walnuts and chestnuts. He nestled on the sofa like an orange fur ball.He spread the voluntary guide on the sofa for Jiang Jing to read, and wanted her to give some references, but Jiang Jing couldn't say anything—she has graduated for 20 years, what references can she have?

She looked through the guidebook for a long time, and looked for the classmates who stayed in the school to teach for a long time on her mobile phone. She took Xiang Zhiyuan's score to ask, and finally got a few reference answers to choose from.

Xiang Zhiyuan leaned over to take a look while combing the cat, and said without thinking too much, "Then why don't you learn mathematics?"

Mathematics is one of the dominant disciplines at X University, and the Department of Mathematics was already in Xiang Zhiyuan's range of candidates.He is not someone who will lose his strengths. He has to choose a major to study anyway. It is better to choose what he is good at and interested in.

Jiang Jing glanced at him: "Are you sure you want to turn your hobby into a profession? After you learn it, you may not regard doing math problems as a relaxed and happy thing anymore."

"I don't feel so relaxed and happy now, it's just fun to pass the time." Xiang Zhiyuan said.

The first time he went to study math problems was because Yuan Xu was preparing for the Math Olympiad competition. He joined in the fun and wanted to share the pressure, but found that his brain was still good, so he learned it all the way.But solving the problem itself is quite interesting, and he thinks it's okay to study it further.

Probably thinking that there is still a way to change majors if it is really not possible, Jiang Jing did not pour cold water on him too much, nodded and said: "Your score is more than enough to go to the Department of Mathematics. If you really think you can, give it a try."

This matter was preliminarily settled in this way, and Xiang Zhiyuan told Yuan Xu when he called him later, and Yuan Xu also said, "It feels quite suitable for you."

"Then do you want to learn anything?" Xiang Zhiyuan asked him.

"Well... I have a general direction, but I haven't made a final decision yet."

Xiang Zhiyuan said without principle: "I will unconditionally support whatever you choose."

Yuan Xu smiled and said yes.

"My mother said that I would not live in the school dormitory. She rented a house for me near the school. There are several new communities there, which are very good, and it is very convenient to live outside." Xiang Zhiyuan conveyed Jiang to him. The woman's suggestion, "She said it would pull your drums through as well, so you could play when you wanted to."

"...Let's talk about it later." Yuan Xu thought for a while and said, "Shall we check the dormitories ahead of time? X University's dormitory conditions seem to be pretty good."

"What do you think is good?" Xiang Zhiyuan was amused by him, "Is it a new campus? The conditions in the headquarters are not very good. There are many old dormitory buildings that are decades old."

Before Yuan Xu had time to say anything, he thought of another possibility: "The major you are looking forward to is probably in the new campus. The Department of Mathematics has been in the headquarters for four years."

"you guess?"

"You have to give me a letter of approval before reporting," his ambiguous answer made Xiang Zhiyuan nervous, "I don't want to be separated from you."

Originally it was just a joke, but unexpectedly it really whetted his appetite. Yuan Xu was also a little surprised.

"No, those in the headquarters, I just said so casually."

Only then did Xiang Zhiyuan breathe a sigh of relief.

They each talked with their families about volunteering, and it didn't take long to settle down.After Xiang Zhiyuan volunteered, he asked Deng Yue to come out to eat barbecue. In the end, he ran into Su Ran and Xiao Ai, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time, at the barbecue stand. see him.

Xiang Zhiyuan found them when he came out of the bathroom. He stood not far away and looked at them for a while, and felt that there was no need to disturb them. He was about to go back to his table when Xiao Ai happened to look up to the waiter to order and found him by the way.

After 5 minutes, they made a table and sat together.

Xiang Zhiyuan introduced them to know each other, and then added a sentence for Deng Yue: "They are good friends of Yuan Xu."

"Oh, that's really incredible." Deng Yue looked at them with admiration.

In his opinion, those who can be friends with Yuan Xu are not ordinary people, his brother Yuan is an example, these two must have their own merits.

"Why, we are Yuan Xu's friends, so we're not your friends?" Xiao Ai said intentionally, "I haven't seen you two contact me very much this year, I thought you had forgotten about us."

She was still the same, generous and cheerful without being artificial, no different from before.Rather, she and Su Ran haven't changed much, so that when Xiang Zhiyuan saw them just now, he thought he was back two years ago.

"Where's Yuan Xu? Didn't he say he went back to Rong City to take the college entrance examination?" Su Ran asked.

"I went back to Ningdu after the exam. I wanted to invite you to dinner, but the university was not on holiday at that time."

Neither of them posted their scores and target schools in Moments. Su Ran and Xiao Ai didn't ask, they just casually asked where they were going to study while chatting, and Xiang Zhiyuan didn't hide it, telling them: "No If there is an accident, it should be Fengshi."

Xiao Ai nodded: "Big X, it's a good place."

Both she and Su Ran went to the north, and they only went back to Rongshi twice a year, and I'm afraid there won't be many chances to see each other in the future, and the number of chance encounters in Rongshi will be less than once.

"I don't know what happened to Ziliang." She said with a smile, "It must be lonely for him to go abroad alone."

Xiang Zhiyuan followed suit with a smile. He knew a little about Yu Ziliang's recent situation. He had a good life abroad. According to his old man's idea of ​​management, he would probably come back after graduation and be trained as a successor.Thanks to Yu Zishu taking the initiative to leave the game to pursue his own career, Yu Ziliang's mother has finally calmed down a bit in the past two years, and his life should be easier.

There's no need to tell them these things, Yu Ziliang also has his own considerations when he wants to come, and he doesn't intend to go overboard.

After the meal, Xiang Zhiyuan bid farewell to Su Ran and Xiao Ai, and turned to ask Deng Yue: "Is there any program, if not, we can go to Wei Jin's to play two games?"

Deng Yue searched for milk tea shops in this shopping mall with his mobile phone, and after searching, he ordered and said, "Brother Wei seems to have gone home for dinner today, and he is not in the company."

"...You know it pretty well." Xiang Zhiyuan was taken aback for a while, he and Wei Jin lived in the same neighborhood and hadn't heard of it.

"I've been doing an internship there recently, and I go there almost every day." Deng Yue smiled, "Thank you boss for giving me the opportunity."

The fake boss and real shareholder Xiang Zhiyuan said speechlessly: "Then what should we do, go back to school to collect garbage?"

The books, exercise books and other miscellaneous things they left behind are still in school. They should have been collected after the college entrance examination, but not many people went.Although there are no valuables, it is still a youthful memory. It is not bad to look through it to see if there is anything to take away.

"Okay." Deng Yue readily agreed.

The author says:

For reference, I spent half a day in the afternoon looking at the college entrance examination scores in recent years in our province. Although I don't know what it is useful to compare it with, it is inexplicably interesting...

Congratulations to the students who have passed the exam, they are liberated, and those who have not finished the exam will continue to work hard!
