After the new year, the final exam will be soon.

My review process is probably to list the chapters to be reviewed every day in the order of mathematics, language, foreign language, physics, and chemistry on the schedule. Use five color pens to make the entire table look horizontal and vertical. Enriched, rich and brilliant.

But there is no way to review it.

Every time I do a math problem, I can make a lot of mistakes, and I don’t know why. The answers at the end of the workbook are too short and I can’t understand them; I just leave the math and do physics first-the result is the same.

So I turned my head to embrace Chinese and English, but I couldn't find the direction even more. Because in addition to the Chinese memorization, the two courses have no scope for review-the multiple-choice question bank of pronunciation and shape is vast, and the difficulty of the English paper is the same as that of the first grade and the third grade.

Lai Chunyang and Mrs. Zhang's attitudes are also "shameless": "It was originally a test of accumulation in peacetime, and there is no scope for review."

So although it is not too difficult to review English and Chinese, I am afraid that 30 days is not enough to learn.

I sat at the desk with a sense of frustration. Every ten minutes, I stood up and opened the refrigerator to see if there was anything delicious. Xiao Lin Fan just came back from my grandmother’s New Year’s house and saw me squatting in front of the refrigerator freezer. Open your mouth wide.

"Sister, you haven't lost weight yet, why don't you lose weight? Don't give up on yourself!"

I unceremoniously patted him on the back of the head.

Aunt Qi just came out of the kitchen, only to see me slap Lin Fan, Lin Fan clutching his head and running away.

I suddenly felt a little guilty. I think I know this kid very well, but does his mother know this? Will you not misunderstand me?

I pretended not to see Aunt Qi, smiled more brilliantly and remedied: "If you anger your sister again, I can beat you up!"

Lin Fan had actually jumped into his room to play a game, and my affectionate joke was not answered at all.

It was really embarrassing.

Aunt Qi’s ability to control emotions is worthy of my study. She clearly saw it in her eyes, and still kindly walked over and smiled and asked me: “Geng, hungry? Would you like me to cook some wontons?”

"No," I shook my head, "I just want to open the refrigerator and have a look. I'm not hungry."

I even said such nonsense, and she still didn't pick her eyebrows.

It's amazing.

The three-day holiday of the New Year passed quickly, we went back to school for two more days, and the final exam came.

The examination room allocation is still the same as during the mid-term exam. I am still in the first class.

It was still dark, so I went to the examination room, drinking soy milk at the door while holding the math notebook Yu Huai gave me and looked at it for a while before the uncle teacher came over to open the door of a class with a large row of keys.

"So hard, have you had breakfast?" He smiled at me.

I nodded.

"Working hard at this early morning will definitely make a good test." He continued.

I shook my head and denied: "I don't study well."

"Oh," the uncle looked at me up and down, "No wonder I came here to hug the Buddha's feet temporarily. You don't usually work hard, so why did you go there earlier?"

What does it matter to you! Who praised me for working hard just now? I faced his crouching back, and took a few bites.

Both Yu Huai and Lin Yang hurried into the classroom when the exam was about to start. Yu Huai wore a slumped hair while Lin Yang yawned wildly.

The Chinese exam ended without any surprises. Yu Huai is right, whether the language test is good or not depends entirely on Feng Shui. Every time I finished the Chinese test, I didn't know how I was doing, anyway, I filled in all the blanks. The topic of the essay is again clichés about the mutual transformation of success and failure. I bet that nine of the ten papers are about Edison and his thousand waste light bulbs.

Einstein, who made three ugly stools in his spare time, and Colonel Sander, who ran off to fried chicken wings with his pension and was not good for his good fortune, did not know why he had to cut his father’s cherry tree to Washington... In fact, we don’t know whether these things are true or not, nor can we remember when and through what channels we first learned about these inspirational but weird celebrities, but they are stuck on our language composition papers. , Was repackaged with a variety of sentences and words, but the inside was always confused.

We neither care about the truth or falsehood of these stories, nor whether the lyric is sincere enough. This is just a transaction that exchanges absolutely correct values ​​for points, and we have understood since childhood.

After finishing the Chinese test at 11:30, there is a two-and-a-half hour break. I took out a hot water bottle and a packet of biscuits from my school bag, and planned to memorize the simple formulas in these few hours.

Before the notebook could be taken out, Yu Huai pulled my school uniform from behind.

"Why don't you go to dinner?"

"There are too many people in the cafeteria." I explained.

Yu Huai frowned: "Then you can't just eat biscuits. You are not afraid of choking."

My eyes were attracted by the two wagging hairs on top of his head, and I couldn't concentrate.

"Huh? Oh, don't panic, I hit hot water."

He was irritated by me: "Don't make fun of you. Lin Yang and I are going to the restaurant opposite the school for dinner. Come over together."

I have to tell the truth: "I want to spend more time reading, and I won't die without eating this meal."

Don't tell me that cuddling is useless!

The look in my eyes revealed the fierceness of my heart, and Yu Huai's words to his lips were obviously stared back by me.

"But I said I would invite you to dinner to thank you. You got results in the competition last night, don't you want to know?"

"Huh? Really?"

Lin Yang came from behind Yu Huai and nodded at me with a smile.

"Then how was your test?" I asked eagerly.

"Say while eating, let's go!" Yu Huai pulled me up involuntarily.

Due to the long lunch break for today’s exam, the school’s door is not closed. I walked behind two tall boys, and I received all kinds of inquisitive gazes along the way, especially Lin Yang. Good-looking is easy to attract the attention of others. He also has a lot of friends, so he can only walk a few steps. I was able to meet an acquaintance, and there were many girls who took the initiative to say hello, and I was almost cooked by their sight.

"Where are you hiding?" Yu Huai didn't realize it, and was puzzled by my dodging and pretending to be a stranger. "How can it be as if we two policeman handcuffed you to a pickpocket?"

I gave him a blank look. What kind of association ability, why do you have the ability to write essays?

Finally arrived at the restaurant, but couldn't find the location. The second and third grades of high school took the exam on the same day as us. The senior students hated the cafeteria more than me, and preferred to eat out. At the moment, the restaurant was full of friends and crowds.

After Lin Yang betrayed the Hue, the three of us finally sat down at a small table that the boss’s wife paid alone in the corner and ordered the dishes. I finally had the opportunity to ask about the results of the Yuhuai competition.

"Too partial, why just ask him?" Lin Yang looked at me with a smirk.

Then we collectively ignored it.

"I won the third prize." Yu Huai said.

"We celebrated last night, so we overslept in the morning." Lin Yang added with a smile.

I smiled instantly.

This news makes me happier than I have solved the last two math problems.

It's strange, for the first time I really experienced a kind of happiness that has nothing to do with myself. In the past, my parents met good things, they were all my family’s affairs, and they would make me feel light; the joys, sorrows, sorrows, sorrows and joys of good friends would make me worry about them. Less than.

But things are different for Yu Huai. This feeling is really amazing.

"Do you know what the third prize means, you are so happy?" Lin Yang asked strangely.

Yes, what does it mean?

I looked at Yu Huai suspiciously. Yu Huai was a little embarrassed. The expression on his face was exactly the same as after expounding the three laws of Kepler in his geography class for the first time, full of forbearance.

"The national third prize is already eligible for delivery. Next fall, he will be a college student." Lin Yang announced with a smile.

The chopsticks in my hand almost fell off.

No.226

The lady boss came to serve the dishes in person, and the table was quickly filled.

"Come here, replace the wine with a drink. Let's celebrate with a drink. Congratulations to Yu Huai for quickly leaving the sea of ​​high school. He is about to become a college student who can have an open love relationship!" Lin Yang poured Coke on both of us and held it up first. cup.

Lin Yang is really a handsome but unassuming, kind and lovely handsome guy. There is an active atmosphere between the cautious me and Yu Huai with a strange expression.

But now I see him particularly unpleasant.

I was in a state of confusion, but I still raised the cup tremblingly, squeezing out a very fake smile, and said to Yu Huai, who had not toasted for a long time, "Congratulations, it's... it's really great!"

Yu Huai frowned and looked at me, as if carefully studying my smirk that was about to be stretched.

Don't watch it, please? I almost cried.

As if knocked out by the news, the lively fireworks in the restaurant are so far away from me at this time, but I don't know how I should react to face such "good news".

I just said I am really happy for him, so what am I sad about now?

"Lin Yang, are you having enough trouble?" Yu Huai kicked Lin Yang helplessly.

Lin Yang couldn't stand it any longer than me, and he laughed out loud, and pointed at my face hahahaha, and smiled so much that it was amused.

"...What's the matter?" I was even more confused by his trouble.

"That's it," Lin Yang's nasty handsome face approached me and said with a smile, "The national first, second, and third prizes have a chance to be sent, but the probability of the second and third prizes entering Peking University and Tsinghua University is natural. He will be much smaller, and Yu Huai will definitely not go to a university that is not good enough, so he will continue to stay here."

Following his words, my ears slowly recovered their normal functions, and it no longer seemed to be separated from this space.

"Then why do you say that..." I asked blankly.

"Look at your expression just now, hahaha, it's so funny. Do you really think Yu Huai is leaving?"

Yu Huai kept a strange silence throughout, ignoring the conversation between Lin Yang and me.

"My uncle, do I have any grudges against you?" I gritted my teeth and looked at him.

"I helped you several times, and I will tell you what you want to know, but you all told Yu Huai later and sold me clean. Do you think we have hatred?"

Thinking of Chen Xuejun, I shrank my neck. In that matter, I really did a little bit of protecting Lin Yang, an informant, not authentic.

But Yu Huai won't leave.

A moment of **** and a moment of heaven, my heart can't stand a bit, so I hurriedly lowered my head and put rice in my mouth, trying to adjust my emotions.

"However, the third prize is already very rare for high school students," Lin Yang continued, "This shows that Yu Huai is very playful on the road of competition, and he is indeed the apprentice I brought out."

Yu Huai finally had a reaction, glanced at Lin Yang, and hummed, "Who is your apprentice."

"The little uncle, have you won the prize?" I asked.

Lin Yang smiled and scratched his head:

"I won the second prize. Oh, it's even more rare."

Yu Huai and I bowed our heads and grilled rice together, and no one wanted to talk to him anymore.

No.227

When I returned to the classroom, Lin Yang had asked Yu Huai to play with the boys in their second class. Yu Huai also agreed. He looked at me for some reason and said that he wanted to go back to the classroom to sleep.

We walked side by side in the spacious hall, the noon sun shining on us, there was a meager warmth.

"I still have to congratulate you again. Look, although it's only the third prize, you have proven yourself. You are fine."

Yu Huai smiled confidently without speaking.

"It would be great if I could also give myself confidence." I sighed with envy.

He looked at me and suddenly reached out and patted my head. I was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his hand.

"You..." I blushed.

"I'm giving you the power of a winner." He looked serious.

... Victor is a big-headed ghost, Yu Huai, do you want to be shameless!

When I returned to the classroom, I quickly closed my mind and opened the notes. Although I was stimulated several times at noon, I must concentrate now. The math exam in the afternoon is very important to me.

"You weren't so nervous when you took the math test last time?" Yu Huai appeared behind me while chewing on the apple.

"You get away," I waved my hand. "I have to concentrate. This time is different."

"Where is it different?"

Because you gave me a notebook, because I made a lot of effort in mathematics in the second half of the semester. Just like you hope that the results of the competition will give you a reward and affirmation, I also hope that the math results will give me a reason to continue.

But I can’t tell.

Yu Huai looked at the Tianzi grid math notes he gave me on the desktop, smiled, and said, "I'll help you."

As he said, he sat down in the empty seat next to me, took out a piece of white paper, and wrote the simplest theorem in the center.

Then, starting from this theorem, spread it out in all directions. The flat and straightforward narrative of the previous chapter of the mathematics textbook developed downward and became a tree out of nothing on a piece of white paper under his hand.

I have studied his notes and many types of questions very hard before, but as long as I leave the notes, the reflection is still half a beat. Many formulas are not accurate and can only be memorized. His eloquence seems to have opened up the two channels of Ren and Du, and the various relationships between functions and sets are clearly in my mind.

Before I knew it, he had spoken for more than forty minutes, but I didn't think it was long at all.

"It would be nice if you told me that way!" I was grateful and regretful.

"If you think your mind is clear now, it means that you have done a certain number of exercises and have a basic grasp of each individual knowledge point. Otherwise, I told you earlier that you would not understand it, but it would be easier to remember. Hunk. The master led the door, and the practice is personal."

I carefully rubbed a piece of A4 white paper that was already full of pictures.

"Just take a look and put it away, be careful for a while, the invigilator will misunderstand you for cheating."

There are still twenty minutes for the math test, and the students have gradually entered the classroom. Lin Yang walked in with waterdrops on his face, and when he saw Yu Huai and I sitting side by side, he looked sad: "Could it not be so sticky? You two have not sat at the same table normally?"

Yu Huai got up and walked over to his position and said, "Don't be too crooked. If you have time, I'd better figure out how to let my sister-in-law take care of you."

From the perspective of an outsider, Yu Huai's counterattack is really weak. But the strange thing is that Lin Yang really stopped because of those three words, and there was some sadness in the strong smile.

"What do you know."

Lin Yang dropped these words and returned to the back row to sit down.

I looked at this piece of paper for a long time, until the teacher asked everyone to put the school bags on the windowsill and the podium, and then reluctantly put it away.

My schoolbag and Yu Huai's are put together. When passing by, he quietly said "Come on" to me.

of course. I smile.

How can I embarrass you.
