The time has entered January, and the final exam at the end of the month is just around the corner.
After the mid-term exam, Xia Zhijuan gave Gu Siyi systematic counseling based on her weaknesses. She obviously felt that the error rate of the usual exercises has been reduced, and she is more confident in the face of the final exam.
Now not only Gu Siyi is studying hard, but Zheng Peipei is also serious.
On the one hand, it is driven by the learning atmosphere of the friends around me, and another very important reason is... The score of the final exam is related to whether I can go home and have a happy Spring Festival, and whether I can get the ideal lucky money.
As for Lu Jiaye, the ten thousand-year-old fritter, because of Zheng Peipei's seriousness, he also started to be serious.
If Zheng Peipei's grades go up, but he still falls at the bottom, there will be a class gap between the two.
He didn't expect to do well in the exam, as long as he was about the same as Zheng Peipei.
As a result, the lineup of Xia Zhijun and Gu Siyi's two-person study group continued to expand.
At first Zheng Peipei joined, then Lu Jiaye joined, Su Han also joined after learning about it, and then... Zhang Xinyi Xiangli and Zhou Xiao both participated, and finally became a mighty eight-member study group.
Xia Zhijuan's first honeymoon make-up class, relaxing in the gaps, playing with the small earlobe and kissing the small face, etc., under the sight of the row after row, completely disappeared...
It was as boring as class, if it wasn't for Gu Siyi's make-up lessons, he would have quit every minute.
Before entering high school, he would never have imagined that the most important and arduous task of his high school stage was to help a girl with poor foundation in her homework, and in the end she had to be admitted to the same university as him.
Of course, as long as we can go to college together, it will be worth spending more time and effort on tutoring her now.
As a latecomer in the study group, Lu Jiaye is often distracted and in a daze. Whenever he couldn't sit still, he would go out and buy hot drinks for everyone, and bring benefits to everyone after letting the wind go. There are also times when I want to go to the stadium or go to the dormitory after shopping, and when the willpower is about to fail, I think about Zheng Peipei, grit my teeth, and go to the study room.
Among the boring and heavy studies, physical education class is the relaxation time that Gu Siyi looks forward to most.
Entering winter, the items of physical education also change according to the season.
In this physical education class, the teacher took everyone to the ice rink to skate. Everyone cheered.
Lu Jiaye leaned closer to Xia Zhijun's ear and said, "Skating, here's a good chance to hold hands."
Every winter, what everyone looks forward to most is the skating class, because this is an aboveboard opportunity to hold hands with the opposite sex.
Zheng Peipei asked Gu Siyi: "Brother Yi, can you?"
Gu Siyi smiled, "What do you think?"
Zheng Peipei felt the arrogance of a king. That's right, she is a good athlete, there shouldn't be anything she can't do.
When we arrived at the ice rink, we met Class 8, who was in physical education class together. Acquaintances on both sides greet each other.
Gu Siyi accidentally saw Lu Ming in the crowd, and turned her head as if she didn't see it.
Since Papa Gu told her not to pay attention to him, she no longer dealt with him because the two were business partners.
Speaking of it, I have to thank Xia Zhijuan for saying that at the time, she would be too embarrassed to say such a thing herself.
The physical education teacher gave everyone skates and shoes, and told them to pay attention.
Students who can skate play by themselves, and those who can't skate learn from him.
Lu Jiaye, Su Han, Zhou Xiao and the others put on their shoes and slid into the arena, and Gu Siyi also slid into the ice rink after putting them on.
The ice rink is large, the ice surface is flat and exudes a cold air.
Gu Siyi was wearing a wool skirt, black leggings, and a red hooded denim jacket with fleece.
Knowing that she was going to skate, she specially put on earplugs, plugged in her mobile phone and connected to the music, and drifted on the ice while listening to the music. Her brain, which was oppressed by learning, was completely emptied at this moment, feeling very refreshed and at ease.
Neither Zheng Peipei nor Xia Zhijun knew how to skate, and they sat in the rest area on the sidelines without changing their shoes.
Zheng Peipei looked at Xia Zhijun curiously: "Hey, so there are things geniuses don't know?"
Xia Zhijuan's eyes followed Gu Siyi's movement in the field, but he didn't speak.
The nightmare of being taken away at the ice rink and being kidnapped when he was young made him never want to come to this place, let alone play skating.
He never took skating lessons before, but seeing Gu Siyi's happy face today, he forced himself to follow.
... but to accompany her.
Zheng Peipei looked at Gu Siyi, who was sliding quickly on the ice, so youthful and bright.
This is a feeling that cannot be described only as beautiful. It's so bright, so beautiful, and it's full of vitality.
While admiring it, she saw Lu Ming slid towards Gu Siyi, and shouted, "My God, Xue Shen, someone covets your wife!"
Xia Zhijuan's face darkened instantly.
On the ice rink, Lu Ming slid to Gu Siyi's side, smiled and said, "Xiao Siyi, I'll take you."
His technique was even more proficient, he slid backwards facing her, slid while teasing.
In the ice rink, it is very common for opposite sexes to hold hands, and even students who are not familiar with each other may hold hands at the invitation. Naturally, he didn't want to let go of this good opportunity.
Gu Siyi put on a straight face and ignored her, moved to the side, and he immediately stood in front of her again.
"Let me hold you..." He tried to hold her hand, but Gu Siyi immediately put his hands in his pockets, not giving her the slightest chance.
Lu Ming was helpless, but his heart had been tempered by Gu Siyi's repeated rejections, "Then I'll skate with you next to you, okay?"
"You're so annoying! Get out of the way!" Gu Siyi complained, and slid directly to the sidelines.
Coming to Zheng Peipei and Xia Zhijun, he asked, "Why don't you guys play?"
Zheng Peipei said, "No, I'm afraid of falling."
Gu Siyi: "Can you hold on to the railing next to it and slide slowly, be careful not to fall."
Zheng Peipei looked at the field, a girl who couldn't skate asked Su Han to take her, and Su Han took her hand to skate.
She immediately stood up and said, "Go, just slide! What are you afraid of!"
She went to the teacher's place to get the shoes and change them, Gu Siyi tugged on La Xia Zhijun's sleeve and said, "You don't know it either?"
"En." Xia Zhijuan responded.
Gu Siyi was startled, she had the same unbelievable reaction as Zheng Peipei, how could there be something that Xueshen didn't know
"Will you take me to skate?"
"… what?"
"If you bring it, I'll try it, if you don't take it, forget it."
Gu Siyi was actually a little embarrassed, but she didn't want Xia Zhijuan to sit alone on the sidelines and be bored. The conflict between the two emotions naturally chose the latter. She nodded, "Okay, I promise not to let you wrestle."
Zheng Peipei had already changed his shoes, walked to the sidelines, and yelled, "Brother Yi, I dare not go in, come and save me!"
Gu Siyi came to her side and led her into the arena, "Hold on to the railing next to you to slide slowly..."
Lu Jiaye took a walk and swayed to their side, Gu Siyi hurriedly said, "Don't go, watch and accompany you."
"Being obedient is worse than respect." Lu Jiaye couldn't help but be overjoyed.
After the incident on Christmas Eve, the relationship between him and Zheng Peipei has eased, but due to the agreement with Su Han and the fear that Zheng Peipei will break up with her again, he is still very honest and has not taken the initiative to chat with her.
"Brother Yi, don't leave, don't leave behind." Zheng Peipei wailed.
"I have to go see Xueshen..."
"Go, go, I'm here." Lu Jiaye hurriedly urged.
When Gu Siyi came back, Xia Zhijun had just changed his shoes before he stood up. Gu Siyi felt that his body was unstable, so he hurried forward and grabbed his hand.
In fact, Xia Zhijuan's balance is very good, after the initial discomfort is over, he can stabilize himself. But he took Gu Siyi's hand and walked all the way to the sidelines.
When stepping into the ice rink, Gu Siyi felt the strong instability again, she asked him to hold on to the railing, and she took his other hand.
Xia Zhijuan stood still on the ice, turned to look at Gu Siyi, just in time to meet her sweet smile. She clasped one of his hands with both hands to help him balance, and said, "Let go of that hand and try."
Xia Zhijuan looked at her dimples, heaved a sigh of relief, and slowly let go of her hand.
It's just that he has an obstacle in his heart, and he doesn't want to touch this thing, but if he really wants to learn it, he can master it quickly.
Gu Siyi held his hand, moved slowly beside him, led him forward slowly, and did not forget to give him psychological training, "Slow down at the beginning, find the feeling... don't be nervous, just master the balance..."
Many students in the class looked at the two of them, including people from Class 8.
Her attitude towards Lu Ming was completely different from her attitude towards Xia Zhijuan.
Lu Ming's buddies mourned for him for three seconds in their hearts, and they didn't dare to make fun of him.
"I feel you are nervous... don't be nervous, your balance is very good... don't be afraid..." Gu Siyi's voice was soft and thin, as if coaxing a child.
Xia Zhijuan supported her with all the strength of one hand, and with a glance, he saw her delicate cheeks and pointed nose.
She raised her head, met his eyes, smiled encouragingly at him, showing two dimples.
There seemed to be a warm current slowly pouring into Xia Zhijuan's heart, and there was also an indescribable sense of security, bit by bit soaking into the soul bound by the nightmare.
His tension was slowly released, and his balance was better played. Under Gu Siyi's leadership, he was able to slide forward slowly.
Gu Siyi let go of one hand and held him with one hand. The two held palms together. He sometimes relaxed and sometimes exerted force. She adjusted the speed according to his sense of rhythm. After sliding half a circle, the two were able to move forward at a constant speed hand in hand.
Here Zheng Peipei was still struggling, holding on to the railing and moving forward with Lu Jiaye's support.
When Gu Siyi and Xia Zhijun slid past her hand in hand, she looked straight at him.
"They are all beginners, how did he learn it so quickly?"
"Who told you to be so stupid! Not to mention stupid, you're still timid." Lu Jiaye complained.
"What did you say?" Zheng Peipei asked coldly.
Lu Jiaye immediately realized that he was about to say the wrong thing, and smiled apologetically, "You are more cautious, and you can learn better if you learn slowly. You don't need to compare with Ah Jun."
Just then Su Han came over and said to Zheng Peipei, "I'll teach you."
Zheng Peipei was still a little depressed. He was pulling other girls just now, and snorted softly, "No need, you are so popular, there are so many girls who want you to teach, I can't get in the line."
Su Han: "..."
The villain in Lu Jiaye's heart put his hips on his hips and smiled.
Su Han said with a low smile: "That's because I didn't know that you were planning to come in to play. If I knew, I would definitely give you all the time. Then is it too late for me to correct it now?"
Zheng Peipei climbed down the pole, "Okay, anyway, I can't learn it even if this fool teaches me for a long time. Maybe it will be better to change the teacher."
Lu Jiaye: "...???"
Zheng Peipei said to Lu Jiaye: "You can play by yourself. I will learn from Su Han."
Su Han said to him: "One person will teach for a while, let's see the effect."
"...!!!" Lu Jiaye had chest tightness and shortness of breath, but he had no way to occupy Zheng Peipei, so he could only watch Su Han take Zheng Peipei's hand and teach her to skate while vomiting blood from internal injuries.
Xia Zhijuan and Gu Siyi slipped smoother and smoother, their speed changed from a snail slow at the beginning to a uniform speed, and finally to an accelerated speed.
"Wow, Gu Siyi and Xia Zhijun are a good match together!"
"The two of them are skating hand in hand, it's really eye-catching."
"I used to think that no one was good enough for Xia Zhijuan, but now that Gu Siyi is by his side, it's actually quite suitable..."
"I don't know what the relationship between the two of them is now... It's confusing, I can't tell the truth..."
The more Lu Ming played, the more bored he became. He stood aside and heard the girl next to him gossip, which made him even more annoyed.
He called a servant and whispered something in his ear.
The servant was a little scared, looked at him worriedly, and said in a low voice, "What if he beats me..."
"Life is like a play, it all depends on acting skills. Give it to me."
The follower had no choice but to go all out and pluck the hair from the tiger when the boss greeted him.
Gu Siyi and Xia Zhijuan were skating, when a boy suddenly slid over from behind, very fast, bumped past Xia Zhijuan's side, and the skates under his feet hit Xia Zhijuan's shoes.
Xia Zhijuan's center of gravity suddenly became unbalanced, Gu Siyi hurriedly grabbed him, but the momentum of the inertia was too great, he fell backward uncontrollably, and said anxiously, "Leave me alone."
At every critical moment, Gu Siyi always refused to listen to him.
There was only one thought in her mind: wrestling on the ice hurts, and she must do her best to protect him!
Gu Siyi pulled Xia Zhijuan, but her weight was not in the same weight class as Xia Zhijuan's, so she struggled twice and fell down with him.
With a muffled sound, Xia Zhijuan fell on the ice - when he fell, he landed on his back completely, hugged Gu Siyi in his arms with both arms, and used his body to cushion her.
Everyone looked this way, the person who bumped into him froze, apologizing again and again, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it..."
Everyone gathered around, and he saw the opportunity and slipped away.
The students helped Gu Siyi up, and Gu Siyi helped Xia Zhijun up, and asked nervously, "Does it hurt? Was the fall serious? Let's go out and rest first?"
Xia Zhijuan calmed down and asked her, "Are you okay?"
Gu Siyi: "I'm fine."
Xia Zhijuan felt relieved, "I'm fine."
The body collision was nothing to him, a big boy who often exercised, and the pain was within his tolerable range. As long as Gu Siyi is fine, nothing will happen to him.
Lu Jiaye, who was idle on the sidelines, saw this scene clearly. The person could have been avoided, but he wanted to bump into him.
Lu Jiaye swiped quickly, catching up with the boy from Class 8 who hit someone.
He kicked him from behind, the boy unexpectedly fell on the ice with a plop, his nose and face bruised.
Lu Jiaye copied his pocket and said lazily, "I'm sorry, I was going to do the ice splits, but I accidentally kicked you."
After speaking, he blew a whistle and slid away gracefully.
This insincere acting pissed off the boys in Class 8, thinking that he was deliberately teasing people.
Several boys came to surround Lu Jiaye, Lu Jiaye was not afraid at all, Zhou Xiao rushed to his side in time for reinforcements. Xia Zhijuan let go of Gu Siyi's hand and slid over. After being thrown, the tight string in his heart broke, and he became more and more in control.
The boy who had just been helped up immediately froze when he saw Xia Zhijuan's piercing eyes. After all, it was a guilty conscience, and the teeth in his mouth were still bloody, so he hurriedly said: "Forget it, forget it... it was all accidental..."
He didn't want to experience the feeling of fighting with boys from class six again. Especially this Xia Zhijuan, who is protected by the school, if something happens, his end will be worse than now.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the physical education teacher rushed over to calm things down, so the situation that was on the verge of breaking out just fell apart.
Gu Siyi came to Xia Zhijuan's side and asked him, "Are you still skating? Let's go out?"
"It's okay. You can play for a while." Xia Zhijuan took her hand and slid it around the field.
He was about to hold her hand and show it to everyone. Especially for the person who wants to hold her hand.
Only he can hold Gu Siyi's hand.
When studying together that night, Gu Siyi specially brought Xia Zhijun ointment for bruises.
Xia Zhijuan said calmly, "I'm fine."
"But I'm worried, can you use it?" Gu Siyi insisted.
"Okay, it's a good thing to worry about me." Xia Zhijuan smiled, "In order to encourage this kind of behavior, I have to use it."
"..." Gu Siyi's cheeks flushed slightly, and she didn't want to speak anymore.
Those who are studying next to him: ... I didn't know enough about the god of learning before.
Which one is better at teasing girls, Long Xing Xueshen Xia Zhijun.
The final exam came as scheduled while everyone was studying in groups.
After cramming, Zheng Peipei seemed to have grasped the true meaning of learning, and her self-confidence was bursting. When she saw Xia Zhijun in the same examination room as her, she didn't even think about telling him to let him go. Anyway, if he doesn't want to, it's better to rely on himself.
On the first day of the exam, Xia Zhijun, Zheng Peipei and Gu Siyi were all in the same exam room.
Xia Zhijuan sat in the front, and Gu Siyi sat in the back.
When the invigilator handed out the test papers, Gu Siyi looked at his back and prayed silently: God of learning, bless me, let me perform exceptionally!
During the math test in the afternoon, she encountered a difficult problem, raised her head, looked at his back and thought...
I kept recalling in my mind the analysis method of the same type of topic that he had told her.
I don't know why, looking at his figure, it seems easier to think of his earnest teaching... After watching for a while, Gu Siyi really came up with an idea, buried her head and continued to write.
The invigilator passed by Xia Zhijuan's exam, and couldn't help but flip through his test papers, and found that he had finished them all, so he said, "You can hand in the papers."
Xia Zhijun said, "I still want to check."
"Okay." The teacher nodded in satisfaction. The test attitude is very good, not proud, not careless.
Xia Zhijuan held his head with one hand, turned the pen with the other, and looked at a certain point in the void with unfocused eyes.
Thinking wildly in his mind, he inexplicably thought of the first time Gu Siyi took the initiative to kiss him, he couldn't hold back, and laughed silently.
Gu Siyi looked at Xia Zhijuan in front of him, saw him sitting there with an old god, and knew that he had finished.
She worked even harder in her heart, racking her brains and concentrating on the test questions. The last big question is really not good, she wrote all the steps that can be written, and she can get a step point if she gets it right.
The final exams for three consecutive days are over, and there are still three days in school, and the teachers of each subject hand out the test papers and give lectures.
On the last day, the results of each subject came out, and the ranking list was also printed out.
The class teacher came in with a stack of ranking lists and a stack of awards, and held the last class meeting of this semester.
After the ranking table was handed out, Gu Siyi first took a look at the number one, Xia Zhijun, and the overall ranking of the following grades was also number one.
Very good, most of her heart was relieved.
Ever since she became the girlfriend of the God of Learning, she has more burdens than the God of Learning, for fear that he will fall from the first place.
Gu Siyi continued to look down, and her name caught off guard—
Tenth place, she is actually the tenth place in the class? Grade 100!
... Gu Siyi looked at the ranking, clutching her beating heart, and was so happy that she was about to pass out.
She didn't expect that with good scores in all subjects, she could be ranked so high
"That's amazing, Brother Yi, you've already ranked tenth! The prestigious school is waving to you!"
"Accident, what a surprise..." Gu Siyi looked silly.
"I really admire the god of learning. Not only can he learn by himself, but he also has the talent to be a teacher."
"I admire him too..."
"See if you're happy, you can hang an oil bottle on the corner of your mouth."
"..." Gu Siyi lowered her head and covered her face, and snickered for a while.
Gu Siyi knew in her heart that her grades really depended on Xia Zhijun's milk.
One-to-one teaching, correcting her problems, giving her the thinking inertia to avoid mistakes, and she will definitely explain what she doesn't understand. There's nothing she can do if she wants to be lazy, he knows more about her blind spots than she does herself, she can't get by at all, so she can only follow him tough.
Moreover, he didn't let her do strange questions, and he didn't allow her to deviate from subjects. He specially gave her some test questions, and told her that at this stage, mastering 80% of the marks was enough.
After handing out the test papers this time, the most significant improvement compared to the mid-term exam was that she almost did something wrong that she shouldn't have done.
On the other side, Lu Jiaye stretched his head and said to Gu Siyi: "Congratulations, you have successfully entered the top ten."
Xia Zhijuan looked at the ranking list and was quite satisfied. With her foundation, she could get this score, which means she performed very well. There are still more than two years to go. If you work harder, it will not be difficult to continue to rise.
On the ranking list, Lu Jiaye is still the first from the bottom, and Zheng Peipei is still the second to last.
It's not that they are not serious, but that they were too dawdling before, even if they improve a little temporarily, it is not enough to improve their ranking among a group of top students. However, their grade rankings have advanced, at least crushing the dawdlers of other classes.
Zheng Peipei looked at his score and thought about it, "No matter what, the total score is higher, and the overall rank of the grade has risen. As a human being, the most important thing is to be happy and contented."
Gu Siyi said: "Work hard next semester, and I will definitely be able to move on."
"No, no, the important thing is the sophomore year of high school. It's not true that science is added now. I must be studying liberal arts."
"Oh… "
"What do you study? Science? You must study science."
"I don't know..." Gu Siyi used to position herself as a liberal arts subject, but now that she has Xia Zhijuan, she really doesn't know.
The head teacher showed everyone the ranking list and the time for free discussion. After a while, he knocked on the table and said, "Quiet."
She picked up the certificates of merit and the gold-plated certificates of honor, and said, "The commendation begins now."
"Excellent student this semester, Xia Zhijun."
Xia Zhijuan stood up, and amidst everyone's applause, went to the podium to receive the certificate and certificate.
Gu Siyi's little slap was exceptionally loud, and her joy was beyond words.
"Excellent class leader, Zhang Kailun."
"Excellent team member, Su Han."
… These people came to the stage to accept the awards one after another.
When it came to the last award, the class teacher said: "Study progress award, Gu Siyi."
Gu Siyi, who was happily applauding the others in front of her, froze when she heard her name suddenly.
The head teacher said: "Gu Siyi's grades have improved a lot. Her high school entrance examination scores are the lowest in our class..."
Oh my god, teacher, don't talk about this, okay, shame on you.
"Of course, she was transferred from another city, and the test questions are different, so there is no comparison. But she got 20 in the midterm exam, and jumped to 10 in the final exam. This is very huge in a key high school with fierce competition. Teachers of all subjects are full of praise for Gu Siyi's progress. I hope everyone can learn from Gu Siyi, make persistent efforts, work hard, and strive for the top."
The teacher in charge became more and more impassioned. From the beginning, he thought that Gu Siyi was a poor student who was holding back, but now watching her counterattack, while she was subverted, she also agreed with her from the bottom of her heart.
The class teacher talked a lot, but Gu Siyi was still in a daze, until Zheng Peipei bumped her arm and said, "Hurry up and receive the award."
She woke up like a dream, stood up, and went to the podium.
When the head teacher handed her the certificate and honorary certificate, he said: "Gu Siyi's performance in the sports meeting is also remarkable. He wins glory for the class and the school. Now is a society where compound talents compete, and students can't just focus on Scores and overall quality should also be improved."
Gu Siyi took the things and walked back with her head down.
Lu Jiaye leaned closer to Xia Zhijun's ear and said, "Look at the little dimple, her face is blushing, why is she so cute? Even receiving an award will blush haha..."
Xia Zhijuan pushed Lu Jiaye's head and reprimanded in a low voice, "Don't stare at her."
"...Damn it, so overbearing!"
When Gu Siyi returned to her seat, she felt that she was still floating.
In his lifetime, he would still receive a commendation related to his studies...
Gone, gone.
After the class meeting, this semester is completely over.
Everyone chatted and laughed and left the classroom. When they walked downstairs, they saw that the honor roll was posted on the bulletin board.
The top 100 in each grade are on the honor roll.
On the Honor Roll of the first year of high school, Xia Zhijuan ranked first and Gu Siyi ranked 100th, facing each other from afar.
