Chapter 30
It was early in the morning when Xiang Zheng sent Li Zihao home, and the small alley at the back door of Shanghai Fanhua was very quiet, the old street lamps flickered on and off, and the barking of dogs could be heard vaguely.
"It's too late, be careful on your way back." Li Zihao jumped out of the car.
Xiang Zheng smiled and nodded, "Don't worry about me, go in quickly."
Li Zihao hesitated all the way and said, "I'm sorry, the birthday party was messed up because of my business."
A good party was completely messed up because of Lei Chao's unexpected appearance. The protagonist Xiang Zheng dragged himself away like this. I don't know what Xu Mingyuan and the others would think when they were left behind. They must have great opinions on him. He I don't know how to face the meeting on Monday.
"Say sorry to them for me, I was supposed to be high all night, but now..." Li Zihao sighed, it was beyond his imagination to develop like this, people really can't take chances, Especially his kind.
Xiang Zheng stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of his head, "What are you talking about, what does it have to do with you, it's all because of that bastard, whether it's Brother Chao or something, if I see him again, I'll beat him up."
"Okay, I'll see what you can do." Li Zihao was amused by his childishness, but he was still worried, "The people who can start the scene in that area are not easy to mess with, so be careful not to be so impulsive in the future, even if It's for me."
"You." Xiang Zheng said helplessly, "Got it."
Originally planned to stay overnight tonight, but he came back early. The family went to bed early and the house was pitch dark. Xiang Zheng walked upstairs in the dark, and the first thing he did when he returned to the house was to turn on the light and sit on the bed. He took out the pickaxe and sent it to his villain to have a closer look.
The more I look at it, the more I like it. To be able to carve such a small thing so vividly, Xiang Zheng is flattered to think how skillful the chestnut cake is.
Xiang Zheng felt that such a precious thing was not good enough to put anywhere. After thinking about it for a long time, he suddenly got out of bed and started rummaging through the box. He didn’t know what he found and began to sit at the table and tinker with it. After a long time, he finally got it done. go to bed.
On Sunday, Xiang Zheng fell asleep until the sun was up, and woke up hungry. He went downstairs to look for food with messy hair, and saw the gift box on the living room table, with his card on top.
Xiang Zheng: "..."
"Master, you're awake, why don't you sleep a little longer?" Aunt Chen didn't know that he came back last night, saw him looking at the things on the table, and said, "This is what Master Xu sent over just now, I said I would call you When he came down, he said no more."
Xiang Zheng put down the card and asked, "When did you leave?"
"It didn't take long, less than 10 minutes." Aunt Chen thought for a while.
Xiang Zheng ran out as soon as he raised his foot, and his intuition told him that Xu Mingyuan must not have gone far, and he couldn't just let him go.
The brothers who have been together for so long are indeed not fake, 10 minutes is enough for Xu Mingyuan to go back and forth twice, but Xiang Zheng just chased him out and saw Xu Mingyuan strolling back slowly with his hands in his pockets, it was a slow speed.
"Xu Mingyuan!"
Hearing the sound, Xu Mingyuan paused, turned around and saw Xiang Zheng standing behind him in a bit of a panic, wearing a thin cotton T-shirt with a pair of flip flops on his loose sports trousers. After running out, Xu Mingyuan's eyes fell from top to bottom and finally fell on his right wrist with the watch, no matter how angry he was, he couldn't express it.
"What's the matter with you? It's not here yet. You're not afraid of catching a cold if you dress like this." Xu Mingyuan ran back in two or three steps, and dragged him back without saying a word, "Go back quickly, if you are sick, how can I talk to auntie?" Confession."
"I haven't known what it's like to have a cold for several years." Xiang Zheng said with a playful smile, "It's time to feel the feeling again."
Xu Mingyuan turned his head and stared at him, "Hurry up, you're the one crying when you have a cold."
"Hey, what are you wearing around your neck?" Xu Mingyuan reached out to move the red rope, but Xiang Zheng dodged it.
"It's nothing."
Aunt Chen was not surprised to see Xu Mingyuan dragging Xiang Zheng back, "Xiaoyuan is back, you and the young master will have dinner first and call you two." After speaking, she went into the kitchen to get busy.
Xiang Zheng took a snack and stuffed it into his mouth, "If you want to eat, tell Aunt Chen to make it for you."
"Aunt Chen's cooking is delicious." Xu Mingyuan smiled. He is a frequent visitor to Xiang's family. He knows what Aunt Chen likes to eat, and as long as he comes, Aunt Chen will definitely add something he likes. There is no need to mention it specially.
The two went upstairs with those boxes in their arms, not to mention that they didn't notice that there were a lot of things last night, Xiang Zheng entered the room and put them on the table before lying down, "Ah, I'm so exhausted."
"You know I'm tired, did you think it would be easy for me to move all these back home yesterday?" Xu Mingyuan sat down by the bed, looking up at the ceiling in a daze.
Xiang Zheng knocked him on the back with his knee, "Chestnut Cake asked me to say sorry to you, he felt that what happened last night was very sorry to you, although I was the one who messed up the situation."
Xu Mingyuan didn't want to mention this matter again, it was not a good memory, but Xiang Zheng insisted on mentioning whose name was mentioned, and he suddenly had a headache again.
"Zhengzi, I'm not very friendly to him these days, you should have noticed." Xu Mingyuan's tone was a little helpless, "I don't know what's wrong with me, seeing you wandering around him all day makes me feel sick." Just fucking upset, hypocritical like a little girl, really fucked up."
Xiang Zheng was lying on his back in a big shape on the bed. He felt what Xu Mingyuan said, especially when Xu Mingyuan was too hostile to Li Zihao that night in the villa, but he couldn't figure out why.
"He is too withdrawn. He didn't have any friends before. I just want to take him to play with you. Are you all good brothers?"
Look, Xu Mingyuan knew it, and he came back fucking again, forget it, he shouldn't care about it, it's boring.
"Okay, I know." Xu Mingyuan patted him back, "They are all good brothers."
Xiang Zheng doesn't belong to him alone, it also belongs to Dahu, Zhang Zhen, Xiao Yuan, and... Li Zihao. Maybe this time he is really the one who has made a fool of himself, and he should be the one to think about it.
"Hey, is the game updated yet? Let's play two rounds." Xu Mingyuan stood up and looked at the big lazy guy on the bed.
Xiang Zheng turned over, "What's the matter? It's time for the midterm exam soon. Have you finished your studies?"
Xu Mingyuan raised his leg and gave him a kick, "Fuck, why have you become so fond of studying?"
"Just now." Xiang Zheng sat up, "Let's have two first and then talk about it."
Xu Mingyuan snorted, knowing that this guy couldn't resist the temptation, he reached out and took the book on the table and threw it to him, "What are you playing, read a book! If you can enter the top [-] at the end of the term, I will buy the game we were waiting for and give it to you .”
Xiang Zheng's eyes lit up when he heard it, "What do you mean?"
"of course."
"It's a deal!" Xiang Zheng jumped up and punched him, why didn't he realize that learning is so fun, and so many rewards are waiting for him, it's like playing a game to clear the level, which makes people feel a sense of accomplishment.
……
The mid-term exam is coming soon. Xiang Zheng overfulfilled the task in the last monthly exam. This time the mid-term is not under much pressure. His goal is in the future. Not only will Xu Mingyuan's new game come into the top [-] in the final exam, but he should also be able to follow Li Zi. The pickaxe wanted a reward, and just thinking about it gave him energy.
This time he was not in the same examination room as Li Zihao, and was sent away alone. Before the exam, he was idle and bored to find Li Zihao to flirt with, but he was kicked back because he hindered the preparations for the exam.
Li Zihao has the same problem as all good students with good grades. He knows that there is little point in cramming, but he has to look twice before the exam to feel at ease, as if he can really encounter it during the exam.
"How do you feel?" Xu Mingyuan's examination room was close to Xiang Zheng's. After the examination, the two walked to the classroom together.
Xiang Zheng tossed the pencil case casually, and said in a very relaxed tone, "Look at you."
Xu Mingyuan knows that Xiang Zheng never speaks big words, and since he speaks, he will definitely do it, "I have all the money ready, so please don't save me money."
"That can't be done." Xiang Zheng waved his hand, "You have already paid the money."
Liu Chaoliang was very pleasantly surprised by Xiang Zheng's steady progress in the mid-term and monthly exams. Originally, Xiang Zheng was the student who gave him the most headache in the class.
I didn't expect this bastard to change his gender. Not only did he attend class, he completed his homework, but his ranking also rose. Now when he meets a colleague, he is praised, "Hey, that Xiang Zheng in your class is very good recently. Teacher Liu is really good at teaching." Fang", which made him feel a little flustered.
In fact, he really thought too much, Xiang Zheng's progress in grades really has nothing to do with him.
Hades has calmed down quite a bit since that time, and he stopped wandering around below during the invigilation. It is said that the grade director heard many students complaining that "examinations are already nervous and affect their performance, and being stared at by Hades makes them unable to think about anything." Wake up," and then specifically warned him.
Now the study time at noon every day can no longer be regarded as Li Zihao's tutoring for Xiang Zheng. It has become two people reviewing together, sitting side by side at a small table and doing a set of papers for each person. From time to time, there will be a competition to see who can do it first. After all, Xiang Zheng was far behind in terms of accuracy. After all, Li Zihao had already occupied the first place in Class 2 after half the semester.
"The final exam is this week." Xiang Zheng bumped Li Zihao with his elbow, "Xu Mingyuan said that if I can enter the top [-] in the class, he will buy me the latest game."
Li Zihao looked up at him and continued to work on the question, "That's good, just a few names, you can do it."
Xiang Zheng curled his lips, that's it, so cold.
No, he continued his efforts, "What about you, is there any reward for me if I get into the top [-]?"
Want a reward?Li Zihao had no choice but to be an adult and clamor for rewards after passing the exam like a primary school student. Such a big man has grown up for nothing. Sure enough, he can't start anything at will.
"Tell me, what do you want?" Li Zihao thought that he couldn't avoid it, but wanted to hear what this guy wanted.
Xiang Zheng thought for a while, "Promise me first, I will tell you if I pass the exam, and if I fail the exam, just pretend I didn't say anything, how about it?"
Li Zihao doesn't think he won't pass the exam. Based on his understanding of Xiang Zheng's current level, it's no problem to get into the top [-]. "Don't make it too difficult."
"No, it's very simple." Xiang Zheng urged him with a smile, "Hurry up and promise me, hurry up."
Seeing Xiang Zheng like this, Li Zihao came up with another nickname in his mind - Xiang Sansui, my God, he was really led by Xiang Zheng, and now some weird ideas always pop up in his mind.
"Yes, yes." Li Zihao smiled, "Let's take the test hard."
"I know you are the best!"
Xiang Zheng happily hugged Li Zihao and strangled him vigorously. Li Zihao was taken aback for a moment, then reached out and patted him on the back lightly.
The final exam came as scheduled. Although everyone was very reluctant, they gritted their teeth and endured it when they thought of the next 50 days of summer vacation. Xiang Zheng, who was so alive during the first Chinese exam, met Hades again.
This time, Xiang Zheng's seat was directly under the podium table in the front row. As soon as Yan Wang came in from the door with the test paper, the two people's eyes met with lightning and thunder, which made the female teacher behind Yan Wang very nervous. I'm afraid they will fight.
But obviously she was overthinking. Xiang Zheng first proved his innocence in public and then privately taught Hades a lesson, so he stopped taking this person seriously. After the paper was sent out, he concentrated on answering the questions and never looked at it again. Yan Wang glanced.
At the beginning, Yan Wang still sat on the podium and looked at Xiang Zheng from time to time, but later he saw that he was doing the questions honestly and calmly, and he felt bored and stopped watching.
As soon as the closing bell for the last subject rang, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a sense of liberation that they had finally survived.
Back in the class, they all sat on their seats and checked the answers. Zhang Zhen was also holding the paper and was asking Li Zihao very enthusiastically.
At this time, the old class came in and tapped on the blackboard, "Don't be wrong, we have finished the exams and wait for the grades." He put his hands on the podium and looked around, "Everyone should know that the arts and sciences will be divided into arts and sciences soon. I sent you a letter of intent, and I will discuss it with my parents when I go back today, and after filling it out, I will collect it and hand it over to me on the day I get the grades."
This sentence reminded everyone that the division of arts and sciences was imminent, and there was a lot of discussion for a while.
"Okay, listen to me before discussing." Liu Chaoliang raised his voice. "Our school is good at science. Everyone knows that most of the teachers and parents would like you to choose science. The reason is that you can find a job if your major is good. As a teacher, I have to admit that there is some truth to this statement."
He paused.
"But what I want to say most is that whether it is the study after division of subjects or the future college entrance examination, university and work, you will have to face it yourself. No one can replace you, so the opinions of teachers and parents are for reference. In the end, you still need to make up your own mind. I know that many students have not thought about it carefully, so think about it after you go back today, and ask yourself what you like to be good at. I don’t want you to face your own inadequacy in the future I regret the decision I made now when I like the subject I don’t like, the major I don’t like, and the job I don’t like.”
What he said touched the hearts of many people, and the class suddenly became quiet, and everyone fell into silence.
What Liu Chaoliang said is right. During their years of study, all their focus is on grades. Not many people think about what they want to do in the future. They always think that they are still young, and they are still far away from their college entrance examinations and even their jobs.But in the blink of an eye, it was right in front of them, and the first crossroads of arts and sciences appeared so suddenly in front of them, making it impossible for them to pretend to escape.
The feeling of being forced to face choices is not good. As someone who has experienced it, Liu Chaoliang understands it very well, "Okay, I hope you can make choices that satisfy you. Now you can be liberated. By the way, don't forget It will take a few days to pick up the transcripts and submit the intent form."
Who the hell still wants to spend the summer vacation after pouring such a pot of cold water on his head!
The author has something to say:
Would you believe me if I explained that Brother Yuan is straight?
I remember when high school was divided into arts and sciences, what I hoped most was to meet an old class like Liu Chaoliang and parents like Da Kite. They would not force you to choose subjects you didn’t like or were not good at just for the so-called exam or employment. Let me analyze the pros and cons one by one and let you make your own decision, because you have to walk the road by yourself.
