The mountains and rivers are gentle today

On a summer day many years later, like the summer after Lin Xiqing's first and last high school chemistry ban ended, the manic summer spread wildly at the beginning of August. The temperature welcomes the coming of autumn.

In that year, Lin Xiqing was already at the age where he would not be called a "classmate" but a "teacher" when he walked in the school, and he would review his life in any afternoon when he was free.

"How did you accept such a big thing as quitting the exam so well at that time? You can chat with people as soon as you leave the exam room." She pushed up her glasses, and the fine lines that quietly appeared at the corners of her eyes were covered by the frame properly.

She thought about it, and attributed all this to the fact that she had lost it once when she was a child. When she was seventeen or eighteen years old, she suddenly found that she was not invincible in the matter of "studying and passing the exam" that she had spent nearly ten years on, and she accepted it well.

What are we talking about?

She still remembers the sentence "Xu Zhimo's nature is special" that she came up with after a long time of detour.

Hey, did Xu Zhimo pay the appearance fee or something? I really can't understand this sentence if my brain circuit is not clear to a certain extent.

Really young.

She remembered that the answer on the other side was also quite vague. She held a vague answer in her hand and dared not ask any more.

If it were put on her who was a few years older, maybe she would be more confident and bold, and ask that question directly-"Let's talk about it, why don't we have a date, sister?"

However, she was still a few months away from being full at the time, and she just held a cup of milk tea that was gradually warming up in the hot sun, wet her hands with the condensed water droplets on the outer wall of the cup, and then pretended nothing happened, Pick up other topics, like her usual, a high school girl who likes to find something to run on when she has nothing to do.

A long street quickly came to an end. On the street with few people, even the chirping of cicadas at the end of summer seemed quiet.

Lin Xiqing indifferently commented on the vegetation on the side of the road, as if throwing that unexpected exam abandonment far into the long river of time in the past.

"This tree grows so uniquely." "Look at this grass, how ugly it is."

Cheng Yanfan quietly listened to her expressing her opinion on the flowers and plants, and suddenly stopped in her tracks, and handed her a square-folded paper towel, obviously just picked it up in the shop.

"Put some cups on it, don't you feel uncomfortable with wet hands?" Cheng Yanfan said.

"Ah, oh." Lin Xiqing took it as if he suddenly realized it.

"Speaking of which, what kind of special is Xu Zhimo's special?" Cheng Yanfan smiled.

Lin Xiqing patted Cheng Yanfan's shoulder with a smile: "It's true that art students don't study much."

"Other art students will not let you go." Cheng Yanfan patted Lin Xiqing imitatively, paused for two seconds, and then continued, "I have read two sentences from Xu Zhimo, which is'I will be in the boundless Looking for the only soul mate in a sea of ​​people' kind?"

"Sister," Lin Xiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "This is what Xu Zhimo said in the divorce notice, so it's not appropriate for us to appear on this occasion."

"What occasion are we now?" Cheng Yanfan lowered his head with a hearty smile.

It's now, not now, and when will it be.Lin Xiqing said, "It's an occasion for confession."

If this was a normal school love story, the protagonists could almost hug each other and kiss passionately by now.However at this time

——Cheng Yanfan's cell phone rang after being quiet for a long time.

Lin Xiqing stood under the shade of the tree with her arms folded, listening to the loud noise from Cheng Yanfan's mobile phone that penetrated half a meter of air into her ears, and the series of "sorry, sorry" and "no, sorry" that Cheng Yanfan responded from time to time. Intentional" "There is indeed something".

"You didn't ask for leave at all. I thought you were just joking about skipping training." Lin Xiqing was dumbfounded.

"I didn't ask for leave at No. [-] Middle School. I didn't expect it to be stricter than No. [-] Middle School." Cheng Yanfan shrugged helplessly.

"This must be stricter than the Seventh Middle School! Where is Meicheng, and where is L City." Lin Xiqing pushed Cheng Yanfan, "Hurry up and take a taxi back! I have nothing to worry about."

"Hey, who was on the phone just now..." Before Cheng Yanfan finished speaking, Lin Xiqing pushed him onto the bus platform, and the latter ran back in a hurry.

Lin Xiqing originally wanted to go back to the hotel, but suddenly remembered that Brother Jiang had checked out this morning, and they were going back to City L in the afternoon.

She found a random store and knelt down at the door.

Her heart made a clearly discernible beating sound beating her tympanic membranes, beating, beating, beating.

It seems that he did something unexpected—didn't he say that he should not have anything to do with L City, and concentrate on studying for a year after the third year of high school, and then return to the place where he should go back.

Lin Xiqing looked at the grass under the shade of the tree, lost in thought.

"But she is not related to L city...she is not from L city." Lin Xiqing muttered.

Suddenly, she looked at her watch—oh, brother Jiang won't be waiting for her downstairs, will he?

Lin Xiqing woke up like a dream, and hurriedly sent a WeChat message to Brother Jiang, saying that she hadn't found him outside the examination room, and now she was waiting for him at Mei Gao's gate.

Brother Jiang quickly replied with an OK expression.

Lin Xiqing was holding the phone, and the call record with Cheng Yanfan was still hanging on the top half of the message bar.

Lin Xiqing: So, start a long-distance relationship?

Lin Xiqing: I will go back to L City in the afternoon/cry/cry

Half an hour later, Lin Xiqing received a new message at the dinner table.

Cheng Yanfan: I will go back after the provincial exam in December.I came to see you during the training holiday.

Lin Xiqing put down his phone and had a laugh for a while—Brother Jiang once thought that this person was a sure winner in the chemistry competition, and that he was about to become a Ziwei star from No. 1 Middle School of L City, and become the No.[-] provincial team in the history of the school.

In September, not long after the start of the new semester - the principal once again spent half the morning holding a mobilization meeting for this group of new high school seniors. During the period, Lin Xiqing was picked out and praised over and over again.

"...This is too embarrassing." Lin Xiqing squatted at the end of the line covering his face.

"What's so embarrassing about it?" Xu Lan turned sideways and bent down to pat Lin Xiqing's back—she asked herself clearly what happened during the competition the night Lin Xiqing came back. The third prize, in a sense you are quite strong."

"Do you know how many third prizes there are!" Lin Xiqing yelled, suppressing his voice, "All those who have passed the re-examination have third prizes guaranteed. The principal even put this on the electronic card at the gate of our school. You Knowing that I almost knelt down to the old man when I entered school today! I really can't afford this ugliness."

"Hey, it's a layman watching the fun." Xu Lan said, "But the score of 616 is very strong in the third year of high school. This boast is not bad."

"Stop talking." Lin Xiqing rubbed his forehead.

High school zero model - the official name is the high school entrance examination.There are several education groups in the province, each doing its own thing.Seventh Middle School stole the papers from no one knows where, and it was lucky to have the same set of papers as Mei Gaokao.

Lin Xiqing thinks that she has done all the questions she can do in this set of papers, and she has tried her best to answer the questions she can't do, and the mistakes caused by carelessness and so on have basically been avoided - zero mode can pass [-] points , at least she thinks it's not bad.

So, on the night of the zero-model results, she sent a message to Cheng Yanfan in Meicheng.

Lin Xiqing: Quick, quick, you happen to be in Meicheng, see if you can help me break into the enemy army, how about asking about the zero-model report card of Meicheng No. [-] High School?

Cheng Yanfan was really very efficient. Within half an hour, he got the electronic file of Mei Gao's report card from the younger brother of the classmate who was training with him.

It is rare for Lin Xiqing to hide in the toilet of the No. 2 Middle School—the No. [-] Middle School toilet at night, also known as the game hall. Amidst all kinds of game sound effects one after another, this [-]M excel sheet was slowly loaded.

No.1, with a total score of 708.

What else do I have to test for?

Lin Xiqing slowly supported his forehead.
