Chapter 1 The Eve of the College Entrance Examination
The 2003 college entrance examination is destined to go down in history.This ended the 24-year tradition of holding the college entrance examination in July, and for the first time the college entrance examination was held in June, just after midsummer.This year, we encountered the SARS epidemic that spread across the country.For a time, people in society were in turmoil, and senior high school students who were about to take the college entrance examination were naturally restless and uneasy.
On this day, outside the classroom of Yinbai Middle School in Jiangnan City, a small southern city, birds were chirping inexperiencedly in the shade, with a bit of joy. At this time, Li Siyi in the classroom looked at An Chen's empty seat. But he was upset, like an ant on a hot pot, restless.She couldn't listen to anything the teacher said on the podium.
An Chen has been on leave for more than half a month, why hasn't he come to school yet?
She just heard from the gossip that An Chen's mother had an accident while working in Guangdong and may have passed away. An Chen went to Guangdong and was quarantined due to the SARS epidemic. He was unable to return for the time being and there was little news.
I wonder if he can still take the college entrance examination normally. How hard will he be affected by his mother's unexpected death?He has such good grades and is also the school's radio station announcer. It has been a long time since his magnetic baritone echoed in the school.
She only remembered that she was in class half a month ago. The head teacher hurriedly called An Chen out of the classroom and said a few words outside the corner. Judging from his expression, it was definitely not good news.Then, An Chen returned to the classroom, quickly packed his schoolbag, and left in a hurry.
The ringing of the get out of class bell brought Li Siyi out of her thoughts and back to reality.During the break, she hurried to the liberal arts class on another floor to find her best friend Wang Yuqing.
"Oops, I heard that An Chen's mother had an accident while working in Guangdong, and An Chen has been quarantined now!" Siyi said with a tearful voice.
"How did you know?" Yuqing asked quickly.
"I just heard it from the gossip. You said that if his mother really passed away, An Chen would be hit hard! Is he still in the mood to take the college entrance examination? And now that he is quarantined, he doesn't know when he will return to school. , will it delay the college entrance examination. Yuqing, I'm really worried, what should I do?" Siyi is now at a loss. She knows that Yuqing has always had ideas.
"Don't worry now. Since it is hearsay, it may not be accurate, right? Just calm down first and don't worry. I believe An Chen will be able to take the college entrance examination. The government will find ways and will never let him Such an outstanding academic missed the college entrance examination because of quarantine." Yuqing quickly helped Siyi organize her thoughts.
"That's right! The government will definitely not let An Chen miss the college entrance examination." Siyi relaxed a little and was not as panicked as before, "I hope his mother is okay too!" Siyi clasped her hands in front of her chest again, silently praying.
Why isn't Yuqing worried about Anchen?
I remember that on New Year’s Day in the second year of high school, Yuqing came to her class to attend the New Year’s Day party at Siyi’s invitation.The first time Yuqing saw the boy hosting the show, she felt like she was electrocuted. She felt dizzy and felt like a little deer was pounding in her heart.She had never felt like this before. She was excited, excited, shy...she couldn't name it.
The boy was also looking at her, and she quickly looked away.What program was performed at the New Year's Day party did not leave any impression on her at all. Only the host boy's pleasant voice and his clean and handsome face were firmly engraved in her heart from then on.Later, after listening to Siyi's introduction, I found out that he was the legendary An Chen.It turns out that he is the male idol that Siyi has longed for, and he is indeed different.
She was afraid that if this vague good feeling was revealed to others, it would hurt her best friend Siyi, so she could only keep it sealed deep in her heart and no one could reveal it.
On this day, Siyi was swimming in the sea of ​​questions when suddenly there was a commotion in the classroom, "An Chen is here!" Siyi immediately came back to her senses as if she was electrocuted. She saw An Chen wearing school uniform, carrying a schoolbag, head lowered and heading straight towards Seats go.He was still the handsome young man, but he was obviously haggard and thinner.
When he walked to his seat, he saw the spotless desk. An Chen looked gratefully at his deskmate and sat down.
Siyi's heart that has been hanging all these days is finally at ease, so great!An Chen finally came back before the college entrance examination!
One after another, classmates walked over and greeted An Chen.Siyi also wanted to step forward to express condolences to Anchen, but the girl's reserve prevented her from taking any steps.After thinking for a while, she plucked up the courage to quietly write a note with words of encouragement, and asked the classmates next to her to hand it to An Chen.
As soon as An Chen sat down, he saw a piece of paper being handed over, with beautiful and heart-warming words written on it, which contained both comfort and encouragement.His heart warmed, and he quickly raised his head and looked around, trying to find the owner of the note. His eyes glanced at Siyi and saw that she was concentrating on studying, and he lowered his head in a little loss.
"How could it be her!" An Chen smiled bitterly to himself.
Li Siyi is currently the famous school beauty of Yinbai Middle School. It is said that boys chasing crushes can circle around the playground once or twice.I remember that last time I received a poem from Siyi at the school radio station. It was clearly a love poem, indicating that she already had a sweetheart.
"She is so beautiful and noble, how can a poor boy like me be able to reach her?" An Chen thought.
"I still don't know what my future will be like. My mother suffered a sudden change. She and I are destined to be different from the same world." An Chen knew that at this moment, it was not the time to consider this relationship anyway.
The moment Siyi saw An Chen get the note, her heart was beating hard, and she saw him looking up and around, definitely trying to find the person who handed the note.Siyi quickly pretended to lower her head and read a book.
"He won't guess it's me, right?" Siyi was afraid that An Chen would guess it was her, but she also hoped that he would guess it.What a contradictory little thought!
After class, Siyi quickly ran to find Wang Yuqing. She wanted to share the good news about An Chen's return to school with her.
"Yuqing, come out!" Siyi called calmly and calmly at the door of Yuqing's classroom.
But nothing can escape the sharp eyes of my best friend. "I'm not in the right state today! I'm so energetic. Tell me, what's the good news?" After walking out of the classroom, Yuqing was eager to share Siyi's good news.
"An Chen! An Chen is back! He is finally back!" Siyi, who usually looks like a lady, was a little speechless at this moment.
"Great! I finally came back before the college entrance examination!" This was indeed great news, and Yuqing also smiled happily.The 10-minute class break was short, but the atmosphere was rare and joyful.
"You don't have to be the last one to leave the classroom every day and clean his desk quietly." Yuqing joked.
"But maybe he thought it was his deskmate who wiped it for him!" Siyi muttered aggrievedly.
"How about I tell him the truth now?" Yuqing deliberately teased Siyi.
"I don't want him to know. I quietly handed him a note in class, but he didn't even guess it was me." Siyi smiled slyly.
"You stupid girl! Now you can calm down and study hard for the exam, right?"
"Well! Yuqing, you study so well. I heard that you ranked first in the liberal arts class in this weekly exam. Which university do you plan to go to? Do you have a goal?"
"I want to take the exam to Beijing. I have been yearning for Beijing since elementary school. It has always been my dream to go there. What about you? Take the exam with me." Yuqing held Siyi's arm and acted coquettishly.
"I want to go too, but the scores of universities in Beijing are so high. I'm afraid I won't be able to pass the exam." Siyi pouted, "And I want to know where An Chen will take the exam. I want to be as close to him as possible." As long as she talks about An Chen, the corners of Siyi's mouth can't help but curl up.
"You guy who values ​​sex over friends, ignore you!" Yu Qing pretended to be angry.
"What are the two beauties talking about? Are they so passionate?" Guan Lu and Xiao Ju came over laughing.
"We are discussing which university to apply for." Yuqing asked, "What are your plans?"
"As long as I have a university to study in, that's fine. No matter where I go, it's impossible to repeat my studies anyway." Xiao Ju replied.
"Why?" Everyone was a little confused.
"It's impossible for my parents to pay for me to repeat my studies. To be honest, even if I pass the exam, they may not support me to study. You don't know the situation in my family. Hey..." At this point, Xiao Ju sighed. , a layer of gloom immediately enveloped her eyes.
"Guan Lu, what about you?" Siyi asked.
"It goes without saying, the husband and wife must follow each other! Wherever Yu Yang is, Lulu can go!" Yu Qing teased Guan Lu with a smile.
"Yu Qing likes to tease others the most. I hate it!" Guan Lu lowered her head shyly.
"Class is about to start, I have to go back quickly! It's better for you. There are four of us in the same class in the first year of high school. When we were divided into classes in the second year of high school, the three of you were together, and I was the only one left." Siyi pouted.
"Science is so great. If you learn mathematics, physics and chemistry well, you won't be afraid of traveling all over the world." Yu Qing did not forget to tease Siyi before leaving.
Li Siyi walked towards the classroom in small steps. What she didn't know was that a pair of eyes were silently watching her retreating back.These eyes could always immediately lock onto Siyi among thousands of people, but Siyi knew nothing about it.
　Guangdong was the hardest hit area by SARS in 2003.
