Chapter 81 Preparing for the College Entrance Examination

In July, the sun was already scorching hot, people everywhere were out of breath, and the nervous college entrance examination was still coming as scheduled. Two days before the college entrance examination, Ding Xiang accompanied Ren Shuxia to the college entrance examination room in advance Seeing it on the ground, seeing the examination room, it is a bit far away from home, so Ding Xiang asked:
"Shuxia, the college entrance examination lasts for three days. Otherwise, let's find a hotel near the examination room and stay there. In this way, after you finish one subject, you can stay nearby and rest. I will let your grandma prepare meals in advance. I'll send it to you, we won't go home at night, you can review the exam subjects for the next day in the hotel, okay?"

"No need, it's too troublesome. I think we should go home by bicycle after the exam," Ren Shuxia said.

"Let's listen to my mother. The college entrance examination is very important in one's life. Mom hopes that you will rest well, do well in the exam, and be worthy of yourself." Ding Xiang persuaded.

"But, it will be too hard for mom." Ren Shuxia glanced at her mother.

"Mom is going home this time to accompany you in the college entrance examination, and go all out to do a good job in logistics support for my daughter's college entrance examination." Ding Xiang said with a smile.

"Mom, you have committed a professional mistake again." Ren Shuxia joked.

"Do you think mom can't change it?" Ding Xiang thought about the tone of her words just now, as if she had expressed her determination during the meeting. Thinking of this, she burst out laughing.

The mother and daughter found a secluded hotel near the examination room, booked for three days, paid the deposit, and went home.

The night before the college entrance examination, Ren Shuxia prepared the things she needed to bring to the exam, and went to the hotel with her mother.

That night, Ding Xiang was more nervous than Ren Shuxia. She would look at this and think about that, walking up and down the room from time to time, muttering incessantly:
"I brought my ID card, I brought my admission ticket, oh, Shuxia, are your pencils ready?"

"Mom, I have prepared three pencils, and they have all been sharpened, and I have brought a pencil sharpener too." Ren Shuxia replied with a smile.

"What about the pen and eraser? Lilac asked again.

Ren Shuxia saw her nervous mother and asked with a smile:
"Mom, it's you taking the college entrance examination, or me taking the college entrance examination!"

"Of course you took the college entrance examination!" Ding Xiang said with a puzzled face.

"By the way, mom, I thought you didn't know. Okay, mom, I beg you not to wander around in the room. Look at your nervous appearance. I wasn't nervous at first. In this way, On the contrary, it made me feel uneasy." Ren Shuxia said with a smile.

After listening to her daughter's words, Ding Xiang realized that she really lost her composure just now, she said with a smile;
"Then I'll go out and buy you some yogurt to drink. By the way, I'll go out for a walk alone, so I won't be here and affect your mood."

"Okay then, Mom, you can go out for a walk."

Not long after her mother went out, Ren Shuxia was reading a book alone in the room. At this moment, she heard a knock on the door. She was nervous for a while, and her tone of voice was very serious:

"Who?"

"Shuxia, it's me, open the door!" Wang Lixin replied outside the door.

As soon as Ren Shuxia heard the familiar voice, she quickly opened the door to let Wang Lixin in, and asked curiously:
"How do you know I live here!"

"I also live in this hotel. It is on the same floor as you. The room is not far from your place. When you checked in, I just went out and saw you and auntie." Wang Lixin said with a smile.

"Then we are in the same examination room, by the way, what is your examination room number?" Ren Shuxia asked.

"306" Wang Lixin replied.

"It's really fate, I am also 306." Ren Shuxia said with a smile.

"What are you doing?" Wang Lixin glanced at the textbooks on the table and asked.

"I'm reading. I'm going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, so I'm very nervous." Ren Shuxia said.

"It's about this time, I advise you not to read books, so as to save yourself a moment of tension, you have to believe in yourself, you will do it!" Wang Lixin stood up and put away the books on the table. , smiled and said to Ren Shuxia:
"Come on, let's have a cup of coffee, listen to music, and relax our nervousness."

"This, this, I'm afraid it's not good. My mother will be back in a while. If she can't see me, she should be nervous again." When Ren Shuxia said the word nervous, she thought of her mother's ups and downs just now. With a complicated state of mind, a smile could not help but appear on his face.

"What are you laughing at?" Wang Lixin asked puzzled.

"I, I, let me tell you, my mother is more nervous than me. I kicked her out just now and let her go shopping alone to stabilize her mood." Ren Shuxia couldn't help it anymore when she said this , So I laughed out loud.

"Let's go, we're on the second floor of the hotel, I know there's a coffee shop there, let's go and listen to music together." Wang Lixin persuaded again.

"Okay then, I'll leave a message for my mother!" Ren Shuxia was relieved when she heard that she was in the hotel. She picked up a pen and wrote down on the paper:

"Mom, I'm in the coffee shop on the second floor of the hotel. I want to listen to music and relax! I'll be back later. Daughter: Shuxia."

After writing the note, Ren Shuxia and Wang Lixin went to the coffee shop together.

The two sat down in a secluded coffee house facing the street, ordered two cups of coffee, and while listening to the melodious ancient music "Mountains and Flowing Water", they drank coffee and watched through the glass window. Looking at the night scene of heavy traffic outside the window, Wang Lixin suddenly asked:

"Shuxia, have you filled out your college entrance examination application?"

"Filled?" Ren Shuxia replied.

"What's your first choice?" Wang Lixin asked worriedly.

"BJ Jiaotong University" Ren Shuxia replied with a smile.

"That's good!" Wang Lixin felt relieved.

"Shuxia, when you arrive at the examination room, you must stabilize your mood. When encountering difficult questions, don't panic. Otherwise, just put them where you want first, and do the meeting first. When you are done, go back and do the difficult questions. When solving difficult problems, you must have a clear mind, and think carefully about how you solve such problems when you usually encounter them.” Wang Lixin was talking about the secrets of the college entrance examination at this time.

"Look at you, you seem to have taken the college entrance examination several times, like a big brother, talking about it here." Ren Shuxia said with a smile.

"These, these, I read in the psychological counseling book for the college entrance examination. Tell me, maybe it will be useful to you?" Seeing Ren Shuxia's disbelieving expression, Wang Lixin stuttered a bit.

"Okay, nerd, I know what you mean, it's getting late, let's go back early, otherwise, my mother should be anxious to get angry again." Ren Shuxia stood up when she said this.

"Then let's go together!" Wang Lixin asked.

"It's not good. Mom saw it, so I should think about it!" After Ren Shuxia finished speaking, she left in a hurry, leaving Wang Lixin alone in a daze...
