Chapter 60 The Crash in the Rain

A few days later, a notice was posted on the bulletin board, and scholarship applications began.

Tang Xiaoya won the opportunity to apply for a scholarship by virtue of her excellent grades in her freshman year. Unfortunately, apart from broadcasting and volunteering, she participated in too few campus activities, which immediately lowered her comprehensive test score.

For the campus first prize, she has no problem, but it is difficult to win the national scholarship.

There was no computer class in the afternoon, and Tang Xiaoya was called to the office by the counselor when she published the blackboard newspaper.

Teacher Zhang adjusted his black-rimmed glasses and looked at the dejected Tang Xiaoya, not knowing whether to praise or criticize.

In terms of academic performance, Tang Xiaoya ranks first in her major and grade, but for the evaluation of scholarships, the proportion of test scores only accounts for 60%, what is needed is comprehensive development and comprehensive quality review.

"Xiaoya, the evaluation of the scholarship is just an assessment for your freshman year. Don't take it to heart if you pass it. I hope you can learn your lesson this semester, participate more in campus activities, and live up to the teacher's expectations of you."

"Well, I'll try my best."

"You have passed CET-[-], which is very good. In fact, you can also consider CET-[-] in computer science. It may be useful when you are looking for a job in the future."

"I'm already preparing."

"Well, very good, let's go back."

"goodbye teacher."

Not being able to get the national scholarship in the sophomore year as she wished was a huge blow to Tang Xiaoya, who was among the best in her studies since she was a child.

As the office door opened and closed, the papers rattled in the wind.Teacher Li hurriedly held down the mobile phone to prevent them from flying around, and the sound of sighing followed.

"It's a pity for this child. His academic performance is so good, why doesn't he like to participate in extracurricular activities?"

Teacher Zhang looked at the grade ranking on the computer and said regretfully, "Hey, it's just a little bit short. Even if she just applies for a sports event and gets a participation award, that's enough."

"What about her credits from the English department, have they been added?"

"Added it, the fourth place in the comprehensive evaluation."

"Submit it first and then talk about it, try your luck."

"That's all there is to it."

After leaving the office, Tang Xiaoya burst into tears.

Covering her mouth, she trotted downstairs, but met Li Zerui near the parking shed.

He went to the counselor to ask for leave. He has had a cold and cough for several days, but he has not recovered. He plans to go to the hospital for an infusion.

"Tang Xiaoya, what's wrong with you?"

"fine."

Tang Xiaoya shook her head, and hastily wiped the tears off her face, feeling that it was really embarrassing to meet her classmates at this time.

"It's raining, why don't you take an umbrella?"

"Forget about the classroom."

"Then you take mine?"

"No thanks."

Seeing Tang Xiaoya leave with tears streaming down her face, Li Zerui felt very strange.He quickly walked downstairs to the office, took out his mobile phone and called Sun Zhibin.

The two are good friends, both from N City, and Li Zerui would often pass on some information about Tang Xiaoya in class to Sun Zhibin, and then Sun Zhibin would pass it on to Yuan Shaohua.

"Do you have class in the afternoon?"

"No, what's wrong?"

"There seems to be something wrong with Tang Xiaoya."

"What do you mean?"

"Just now I saw her coming out of the office building crying, and now she is heading towards the gate of the college again."

"Criticized by the teacher?"

"It's possible. I'll see the counselor later and ask, and I'll contact you again."

"Okay, okay, then you go quickly."

Bamboo forest path, next to the lotus pond.Tang Xiaoya sat on the bench and wept with her head bowed. Her whole body was already drenched and shivering from the cold.

The pride of the past was wiped away by the rain.

Her cry was so desperate that Yuan Shaohua who was not far away felt distressed and worried.

He understood Tang Xiaoya's mood very well.

When a person puts all his energy into a certain thing, but fails to achieve the expected results, it is a great blow to self-confidence.

The national scholarship is not just a red book, as simple as a few thousand yuan, it is a symbol of honor and an affirmation of comprehensive quality.

Ever since Yuan Shaohua developed feelings for Tang Xiaoya, her academic performance has also plummeted.

The myth of winning the first grade three times in a row was broken, and he also missed the chance to apply for a national scholarship.

The bitterness in his heart was not less than that of Tang Xiaoya.

"Xiaoya, don't cry."

Tang Xiaoya looked up and found that Yuan Shaohua was holding an umbrella for herself, which was extremely embarrassing.

She tried her best to control her emotions, not wanting to be ridiculed, but the tears in her eyes still fell down her face in disappointment.

With wet hair and a thin body, Yuan Shaohua was very upset.

He hurriedly took off his coat and wanted to help Tang Xiaoya put it on, but was politely refused.

"Xiaoya, put it on quickly, your clothes are soaked, you will catch a cold."

Only now did Tang Xiaoya realize her embarrassment. She lowered her head and tugged at her thin outerwear, trying to cover up the black printed dress as much as possible.

"Thank you senior, I'm fine, you can go."

"I won't go, I want to have a good talk with you."

"Leave me alone please?"

"Xiaoya, as a girl, you are already very good. You must know that there are very few girls in the computer department who get the first place. You can't be too harsh on yourself. If this continues..."

"Stop talking, I don't want to hear it."

"Xiaoya, can you listen to my advice? You can't..."

"You're not going, are you? Then I'll go."

The rain was still falling, Yuan Shaohua followed Tang Xiaoya closely with his coat and umbrella in his hand.

Even though he knew that doing so would make Tang Xiaoya unhappy, he was even more afraid that Tang Xiaoya would lose her mind and do something stupid.

"Stop following me, okay?"

"No, you're going to catch a cold."

Tang Xiaoya knocked down her umbrella in a fit of anger. She didn't need Yuan Shaohua to shield her from the wind and rain. She just wanted to be alone and cry a lot.

"Xiaoya, why are you so stubborn? Do you know how worried I am when you look like this? Don't you understand...I..."

Yuan Shaohua choked up as he spoke, standing in the rain with red eyes, not knowing what to do, his heart was extremely disturbed.

After all, the confession that had been held back for a long time was not uttered, and the hands that wanted to hug Tang Xiaoya were finally put down.He knew very well in his heart that once he took this step, he really couldn't even be a friend.

The rain was falling, and the black umbrella was shaking from side to side by the wind. One was sad, the other was anxious, and the air seemed to freeze.

"Xiaoya, shall I take you back?"

"Don't follow me anymore, don't worry, I won't jump into the pond, I just want to be alone."

"Then put your coat on, will you?"

"I'm not cold, thank you senior."

"If you have a fever, you will suffer, so put it on?"

Looking at the dark gray coat in Yuan Shaohua's hand, Tang Xiaoya suddenly thought of Chen Haoran, and remembered the matter of grabbing milk tea at noon and soiling his clothes.

After thinking about it, a smile could not help showing on the corner of her mouth, and she left without saying anything.

After a short pause, Yuan Shaohua called Sun Zhibin.

"Where are you?"

"Playing games in the dormitory, is Tang Xiaoya okay?"

"I need you to do me a favor, is it convenient?"

"You're welcome, just say it."

The rain was still falling, Tang Xiaoya was still walking along the bamboo forest path, Yuan Shaohua was helpless even though he was extremely anxious.

He especially hates himself now. He is only 20 years old, but he has a 30-year-old heart.

He really wants to change, and hopes to love as passionately and without scruples as Chen Haoran, instead of cautiously guarding.
