Chapter 40 Rose - College Entrance Examination

At the end of December, the general review of the third year of high school was in the middle, and the whole third year of high school seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar. Even though the heating was sufficient, the atmosphere was frozen.

There are several stacks of books and papers on everyone's desk, and you can't see your head when you bury your head in it. Except for going to the toilet, almost no one leaves the classroom, and even the exercise team between classes is sparse.

The school leaders turned a blind eye to the old tradition of Ancheng No. [-] Middle School. Compared with the college entrance examination, the exercises between classes are nothing.

In the senior three teaching building, only one classroom was empty, which was Ren Xun's art class.

December is the period for art examination enrollment, which lasts until February of the second year, the hardest months for art students.For example, Ren Xun had to take the provincial examinations in his own province first, and then traveled all over the country to take the school examinations organized by various universities.

Obtaining a passing certificate is equivalent to entering university with one foot, and after that, as long as the college entrance examination scores pass the line, everything will be fine.

Many parents will accompany their children to take the exam. For the future of their children, the family is on the road, but this is not applicable to Ren Xun. Both parents have their own affairs to be busy, and Ren Xun also wants to experience traveling on his own.

During the entire art exam period, he was out alone, updating his new location every few days. He was still in Nancheng last week, and this week in Sichuan City. It seemed that he was not under the pressure of the exam at all. On the contrary, it was like traveling, full of ritual.

When Ren Yu was finishing his final exams at school, Ren Xun had just landed in Ling City and was about to take the school exam for the Academy of Fine Arts.

This is his most ideal school, and it is also the most competitive. Tens of thousands of art students use pens as knives and drawing boards as shields to overcome obstacles.

It was early 2012, and Mother Ren saw on the news that the number of candidates for the Academy of Fine Arts hit a record high.

Ren's father and mother booked a flight ticket to Ling City without telling Ren Xun, and Ren Yu went with him naturally. Besides, Ren's mother also invited Jiang Limei.

"It's winter vacation, let the children go with us, Meimei will also take the art test next year, so she should explore the way ahead of time." Mother Ren said to Cao Qiong: "Meimei also wants to enter the Academy of Fine Arts, right? "

Jiang Limei is very happy, she can see what the Academy of Fine Arts looks like in advance, and more importantly, she hasn't seen Ren Xun for two months, and she misses him a little bit.

Ling City is very large and bustling. The roads are much wider than Ancheng City. It has her favorite night scene. The traffic flow is like gold paste flowing slowly, and the lights are as panic as daytime.

She stood at the gate of the Academy of Fine Arts with her father and mother, fantasizing about her future, which should be to study in this city with Ren Xun, establish a career, and settle down. Everything is done step by step and as it should be.

Everything is worth looking forward to.

Candidates who finished the exam hurried out of the exam room, Ren Xun mixed in, tall but still eye-catching.

She saw it at a glance, flew over, was almost knocked down by the crowd, and pulled her with one hand.

After Jiang Limei stood firm, Ren Yu quickly took her hand back:
"Be careful."

"Thank you"

Jiang Limei smiled at Ren Yu absent-mindedly, and when she turned around, Ren Xun was already standing in front of her.

He was much taller than her, and as soon as he raised his hand, he patted the top of her head naturally: "I knew you would come."

The kind of smiles that look at each other and have a tacit understanding in the eyes of different people have different reactions. Ren's father and mother and the crowd had almost dispersed before walking forward. Ren's father pushed Ren Yu on the back:
"Why are you in a daze? Go see your brother."

Ren Yu quickly returned to his senses and shook his head: "It's okay."

They are so suitable, standing together seems to be a highly matching color match, everyone and the scene have become a foil, he can't bear to step forward, because he feels like a thorn in the painting.

Obtrusive, dazzling, out of gregarious.

Ren Yu followed behind Ren's father and Ren's mother. Looking over, she could see Jiang Limei's cheerful footsteps. She was wearing a white bread jacket and a red knitted scarf. She was chattering beside Ren Xun, as if she had endless words to say.

He had no intention of eavesdropping, but the conversation fell into his ears. He heard Jiang Limei pretending to be angry: "Why don't you send me photos?"

Ren Yu didn't know how Ren Xun answered, but no matter what he answered, Jiang Limei was very happy. She even took out a Polaroid from her bag and asked her parents to take a photo of them.

Just at the north gate of the school, they stood very close, smiling happily.

According to Ren's father and mother's plan, they will stay in Ling City for three days, accompany Ren Xun and Jiang Limei to visit the Academy of Fine Arts, and accompany Ren Yu to visit P University.

"Meimei doesn't know, but Ren Yu's dream since childhood was to be a doctor." Mother Ren talked to Jiang Limei with a smile.

"Wow, that's amazing, Doctor Ren?"

After laughing, only Ren Yu blushed.

Ren Yu never thought that he would remember the crisp words of Dr. Ren from her mouth for many years.

At that time, the wind swept over the dead branches, and the clouds slowly moved away. He remembered that the weather on that day was very good, and it was a rare good weather without smog in Lingshi.

Looking up, the sky is as blue as washing.

They sat and rested by the lawn of Big P, Ren's mother went to buy water, and Ren Xun and Jiang Limei took pictures on the withered lawn.

It was Jiang Limei's idea, saying that even if she didn't get into P University in this life, she would have no regrets for visiting here.

Ren's father sat beside Ren Yu, hugged Ren Yu's shoulders, and said in a calm tone:
"Xiao Yu, you have to know that your life has just begun, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. Times change, and things are like this, so you can't be fooled into everything."

Ren Yu looked at Ren's father.

"Father believes in you. Your future will be very, very exciting. You will meet many interesting people and things. Of course, you will also meet more outstanding girls."

Ren Yu was taken aback, only to feel that the lawn was cold and the soil was frozen.He opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say, only anxious and inexplicably embarrassed.

Father Ren patted him on the back.

The setting sun came head-on, scorching his face, and he grabbed his trouser legs, speechless for a long time.

Jiang Limei didn't know what they were talking about with Ren Xun, the two of them stood in the sun and laughed heartily, the place where she stood seemed to be soft, and grass sprouts were brewing.

Ren Yu's throat choked, and he said in a very low voice:
"understood."

.

The spring is fine, and when the magnolias under the corridor bloom again, the results of the art test are released.

In the art class of the third year of high school, more than half of the candidates majored in fine arts, only two of them got the certificate of the Academy of Fine Arts, and Ren Xun was the one with the higher ranking, ranking No.13 in the country.

At this time, the college entrance examination is only two months away.

The second model ended, and the plot was the same as the first model. Ren Yu, who had always been ranked first in the school year, suddenly encountered a twists and turns. He was ranked outside the top ten in the school year for two mock exams.

Fifteen at a time, sixteen at a time.

If the college entrance examination is also the ranking, there is no doubt that the school is famous, but there is no hope for Qingbei.

The head teacher, Mr. Shang, was in a panic. Why did the good No. [-] seedling suddenly wither?Together with the grade director, I called Ren's mother several times to communicate about Ren Yu's study and mental state.

In the eyes of all the teachers, Ren Yu is still Ren Yu, humble and polite, working hard, but for some reason, the two mock exams are unstable, and Teacher Shang speaks earnestly:

"The college entrance examination is the first big challenge a child will encounter in his life. It is normal to be under pressure. Parents must give more guidance."

Mother Ren stood at the door of Ren Yu's room, but she couldn't let go of her knocking hand.

Everything is normal for Ren Yu, there doesn't seem to be anything strange, so what can we say about him?

The college entrance examination is a tough battle, but there is no need to force children to fight on the battlefield, just do your best, this is the consistent way of the Ren family to educate their children.

No one knew what happened to Ren Yu, except Zuo Jing.

Zuo Jing, as a non-staff member of the college entrance examination, insisted on going to school every day, euphemistically saying that there is only one senior year in a person's life, and he must fully experience it.

While there was no one in the class, he leaned against Ren Yu's desk and muttered in a low voice: "Ren Yu, others don't know, but I know you."

He grabbed Ren Yu's pen and twirled it in his hand: "Ren Yu, you are controlling points."

A school bully who can control points is really scary.

Zuo Jing secretly looked at Ren Yu's answer sheet, and for two times in a row, he only got the second-to-last question wrong in the multiple-choice questions of science and comprehensive, and the second question of the last math question only got process points, and the calculation results were inexplicably wrong.

As for English, everything about prepositions in cloze was all wrong, which caused the English teacher a headache, and asked Ren Yu, did he not understand the prepositions?
Ren Yu quietly looked at Zuo Jing, spread his hands and said, "Give me back the pen."

"Ren Yu, what's the plot? Going out of your way, or pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger?" Zuo Jing thought it was interesting, but couldn't understand Ren Yu's intention: "Are you just thinking it's fun? Or are you hiding something?"

Ren Yu snatched the pen back and continued writing on the draft paper.

He was practicing the fonts of English compositions, machine-graded, good-looking English fonts would add impression points, the English teacher sent them copybooks in advance, it was a very popular Hengshui style, and asked them to practice accordingly.

He didn't want to tell Zuo Jing that he didn't do well in the mock exam on purpose, but actually he didn't want to speak on stage again.

One week before the college entrance examination, the third year of high school will hold an exam sending meeting. The unwritten rule is that the first student of the school year who has several mock exams will speak on stage as a student representative.

After returning from Ling City during the winter vacation, Ren Yu somehow didn't want to show any limelight in front of everyone, especially Jiang Limei would be in the audience.

Learning to let go is a difficult subject. Ren Yu doesn't know how to overcome it, and he can't take it step by step. He can only force himself to stop it all at once, like quitting smoking, or quitting some years of addiction.

He never went to the window in the corridor to recite vocabulary again, and occasionally passed by, but he walked in a hurry and never stopped.

Jiang Limei might still be sitting in the gazebo under the corridor, maybe chatting, listening to songs, or joking around.

But it has nothing to do with him.

Ren Yu unilaterally made an end to this unrequited crush.

The magnolia flowers are in full bloom, poking into the windows on the second floor, and delivering a delicate fragrance one after another.He kept the scent in his heart, but he would never mention it again.

On the innermost shelf of the bookcase in the bedroom, there was his last cherished memory about Jiang Limei. He was reluctant to part with it, but he still took it out the night before the college entrance examination.

He carefully drank the two cans of Wangzai milk, rinsed the cans clean, looked at them for a while, and put the empty cans back in the bookcase.

In the 2012 college entrance examination, Ren Yu won the city's top score in science, second in the province, with a perfect score in science and comprehensive studies, and his photo was on the honor roll for a whole year.

It was also the first time for both parents and parents to know that there was no need to wait for the results to be announced when applying for the college entrance examination. There were a steady stream of phone calls a week in advance, and people from the admissions teams of various colleges wanted to visit.

Ren's mother had never experienced such a posture, she was nervous and proud, but Ren Yu was very calm.

He told Ren's mother that if there was another call, he would just say that he wanted to apply for a medical major, and there was no need to say anything else.

At the hottest time of midsummer, good news for Ren Xun also came. The admission notice of the Academy of Fine Arts was mailed home, and the two brothers were about to go to Ling City together to start a new chapter in their lives.

The Ren family held a decent school entrance banquet for relatives and friends, including Shenglin Caoqiong and his wife, and of course Jiang Limei.

At the wine table, Ren Yuren Xun was coaxed by his relatives, and each of them drank a small glass of white wine, and his face immediately turned red after drinking the spicy wine.Some relatives joked that Ren Yu has a bright future, saving lives and healing the wounded.

Ren Yu smiled shyly, his chest felt as if it had been burned by the liquor, but when he saw Jiang Limei quietly handing Ren Xun a small plate of fruit slices to let him hangover, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Ren Yu's smile froze on his face, and he turned his head hastily.

Some juniors approached Ren Yu and offered to buy his notes at a high price, which was not cheap.Ren Yu was not short of money, and he didn't want to make a fortune, so he packed all the notes into a cardboard box and gave them to the head teacher, Mr. Shang, who would arrange them.

Teacher Shang patted Ren Yu on the shoulder, with proud eyes, and gave his favorite student a final entreaty:
"Ren Yu, the teacher has always been very optimistic about you, but there is one sentence you have to remember. In the future, you must hold your head high. You are very good. You can't be inferior, and you can't belittle yourself. Life is a long way. The teacher wishes you a smooth journey."

Ren Yu stood upright, straightened his shoulders, and nodded seriously.

The freshmen of P University enrolled ten days earlier than the Academy of Fine Arts, Ren Yu set off first, and flew to Ling City.The night before his departure, he knocked on the door of his brother's room and handed him a paper bag.

Inside, there are three notebooks that are heavy, covering the knowledge points of the three subjects of language and mathematics.The math book was extra thick, Ren Xun flipped through it casually, and was stunned.

The above are all the knowledge points of liberal arts mathematics. According to the progress of the general review in the third year of senior high school, the thinking is smooth and the handwriting is neat.

He looked at Ren Yu in puzzlement, but saw his brother's face was as usual, as always, his quiet figure bathed in the warm yellow light.

"I lost the game before, so I promised to give Jiang Limei notes."

Ren Xun held the big book in his hand: "Didn't I give it to you?"

"The previous book was too crude. If you give these to her, the third year of high school will help you." Ren Yu handed over the paper bag with a calm tone, as if he was just explaining something unimportant: "Just give it to her. Needless to say anything else."

Ren Xun stared into Ren Yu's eyes for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Okay, then should I tell her that you gave me the notes?"

"No need," Ren Yu lowered his eyes: "It's not important."

Ren Xun snapped his fingers: "Okay, listen to you."

That was 2012.

Ren Yu's, he has witnessed the magnolia flowers blooming under the corridor, and he will never forget it.Before the college entrance examination, taking advantage of the cold rain in late spring, he picked up the magnolia petals that had been knocked down by the rain, dried them, and put them in his math notes carefully.

Whether the petals were found or not, Ren Yu never had an answer.But it doesn't seem to matter.

Jiang Limei doesn't need to know what kind of flower it is, doesn't need to know the origin of those notes, and doesn't need to know that he spent the whole summer vacation, when others indulged, and spent two months reorganizing all the knowledge points of liberal arts mathematics for her. .

She doesn't need to understand, what is the weight of saying goodbye.

Ren Yu stuffed the empty can of Wangzai's milk into the innermost part of the suitcase and took it away together. Other than that, all the little thoughts that were not visible were left in Ancheng.

When the plane climbed, there was slight tinnitus, and he wished himself a smooth journey in his heart.

If possible, he would never think of Jiang Limei again.
