Lu Baobao called out several names in a row. Jiang Se ran back and forth and didn't even have time to eat. Now Lu Baobao grabbed her hand and shook her, making her dizzy.
"No."
She looked at the English homework book in front of Lu Baobao and asked, "You haven't finished copying it yet?"
"I have copied it several times, but Teacher Lin did it on purpose."
Lu Baobao threw the pen away in annoyance and grabbed her with both hands:
"They said I wrote it down without thinking."
She was left alone in the classroom to copy words. Her mind was already wandering off, so she couldn't continue copying.
I wrote for a long time, but I didn't remember any of them, and I made some mistakes when I took dictation.
This made the head teacher very angry, and he told her that she would be allowed to go home only when she passed the dictation.
"Tell me about the Film and Television University."
She mentioned that she was not able to go with Jiang Se today, and her face looked a little aggrieved:
“I wanted to go, too.”
"I didn't see any celebrities. I was just walking around. How could I bump into celebrities randomly on campus?"
There are only a few days left before the college entrance examination, and this girl is still obsessed with chasing stars. Jiang Se thought about it and did not tell her about the audition at No. 12 Imperial Capital Shanghuan Yijing Building, so as not to divert Lu Baobao's attention.
After the college entrance examination, I will ask her out again.
She sent Lu Baobao away without showing any expression, and then took out her books to review.
She couldn't turn on the lights at will in Du's house, so she could only memorize some things during the evening self-study. Next to her, Lu Baobao was still trying to ask her about the Film and Television University, but seeing Jiang Se memorizing silently, he pestered her for a while, and when he saw that she ignored him, he felt it was boring and turned to talk to others.
When it came to the college entrance examination, Jiang Se was already fully prepared. When he finished his last exam on the morning of the 10th, many candidates were still reluctant to leave.
Jiang Se was packing her things when someone poked her on the back with a pen.
She turned her head and saw a boy blushing under her gaze. With the hope of getting a response in his eyes, he stammered:
"Student, do you remember what the answer to the third question in the fifth question on the test paper was?"
After the college entrance examination, many candidates were reviewing their questions in the classroom. After he asked this question, someone next to him wanted to come over, but Jiang Se refused directly:
“I don’t remember.”
She put her things into the bag and stood up. The boy behind her blushed and watched her leave the classroom, not daring to chase her.
When she got home, Zhou Hui was still cleaning the table. She didn't ask Jiang Se how he did in the exam, but asked:
"When will I get my diploma?"
After she said this, she explained:
"With a high school diploma, it will be easier to find a job. I heard from your uncle Du that even if a factory wants to hire a salesperson, they still need to have a high school diploma..."
Jiang Se paused while drinking water. Seeing that Zhou Hui was about to continue, she gestured to stop Zhou Hui from saying:
"I told you, I have no intention of giving up my studies and working in a factory."
Zhou Hui paused while wiping the table, raised her head and showed a reproachful look in her eyes:
"Your grades are not good, and going to college is just a way to kill time, not to mention..."
"I'm confident I can pass the exam this time. As for tuition, I'll find something to do during the summer vacation and find a way to make money. You and Uncle Du don't need to pay for it."
Zhou Hui obviously didn't believe what she said, but her daughter was grown up and difficult to manage.
After remarrying, the focus of her life was on her new family and children, and she inevitably became a little estranged from her eldest daughter.
She wanted to teach him a lesson, but found that she couldn't say a word when facing Jiang Se's eyes.
In the evening, she mentioned this to Du Changqun, who said coldly:
"If she has the ability to earn tuition fees, she can continue to go to school. I won't pay a cent anyway."
His voice was not small, and Jiang Se in the attic heard it clearly:
"I found her a sales job in the factory, but she didn't appreciate it, so I did my best. Now that she has graduated from high school, she will have to eat at home and pay for her living expenses..."
The following words were interrupted by the sound of footsteps. Zhou Hui was still hesitantly responding:
"I'll talk to her tomorrow."
The couple didn't say anything else. Jiang Se, who was downstairs, heard this and breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Du Changqun did not intend to force her to stop studying, but his words were full of disgust and he disliked her very much.
She still needs to make some money quickly, and it would be best if she could be independent.
The girl Jiang Se met at the Capital Film and Television University that day once said that the crew of "Fake It" would have an audition on the 12th. Jiang Se went to Lu Baobao's house the next day.
When she arrived at Lu's house, Lu Baobao was ordered to stay at home by his parents.
When she opened the door, Lu Baobao had a sad face, wearing a pink nightgown, and even her hair was not combed. When she saw Jiang Se, she curled her lips and pointed to the room:
"I'm done."
As soon as she saw Jiang Se's first words, she wailed:
"My dad said I didn't do well in the college entrance examination this time, so he asked me to repeat the year."
Tears welled up in her eyes, she looked unhappy, and the smile on her face disappeared:
"This time, when I checked with others after the test, nine out of ten times I got it wrong."
A few days before the exam, she was still busy chasing stars, so naturally her results were not ideal.
Her parents were staring at the door in the room, asking:
"Who's outside the door?"
"My classmate." She turned around and told her parents, then turned back and said:
"My parents told me not to go out with you. The last time I went to Shenzhuang, I came back late, and they have been nagging me ever since."
In the eyes of Lu Baobao's parents, the beautiful Jiang Se seemed like someone who was tempting their daughter to become bad, and they disliked her very much. Jiang Se stood there for a long time without saying a word to let anyone in.
"By the way, what are you doing here?"
Lu Baobao turned his head to look inside the room and asked Jiang Se again.
Jiang Se saw her panic:
"The last time I went to the Film and Television University, I met a student there and got some information about the audition for the production of 'Fake It Real'."
When Lu Baobao heard this, his eyes lit up first, then he stamped his feet and asked:
"real?"
Jiang Se nodded:
"They said there will be an audition tomorrow, on the 13th floor of the Yijing Building in the Imperial Capital."
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
When Lu Baobao heard that it was tomorrow, she was so anxious that she wanted to cry: "Tomorrow is not possible. My dad has been forcing me to compare the answers I copied on the manuscript with others these two days. I can't go out tomorrow." After she finished speaking, she complained: "Now that you come to me, my dad must be more vigilant and watch me more strictly. Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
She muttered, "If you had told me earlier, maybe I could have thought of a solution."
"What did I tell you about the college entrance examination a few days ago? Did I distract you?" Jiang Se frowned and saw that she was speechless:
"Anyway, I've told you the address and time. If you're free, go. If not, forget it."
Baby Lu muttered: "How can I let it go?" Father Lu in the room was calling her name, and Jiang Se took a step back:
"Your dad is calling you, I'll go back first." (To be continued)
