Before the summer vacation, it seems that Meng Ke gave Ren Yi an idea, which rekindled his determination to pursue Song Wan. It seems that it should be related to this school for the deaf and mute.
Wen Liang looked at Meng Ke, who smiled and said, "I don't know anything..."
Liu Zhihe rubbed his hands together and prepared to execute him again. Ren Yi shouted, "I confess. This is what happened. Meng'er's aunt and Song Wan's aunt are both teachers at the school for the deaf and dumb, and Song Wan goes there to help every weekend and during the winter and summer vacations. So I asked Meng'er to ask her aunt to get me in. Hehe, we have been together day and night for this month, and our relationship has improved by leaps and bounds!"
"Okay," Liu Zhihe put his arm around Ren Yi's shoulders and said, "I got the girl without saying anything. Tell me, when are we going to treat you?"
"That's right, that's right. Song Wan is one of the most beautiful girls in Class 7 after all. Brother Ren, please hurry up and find a time to invite everyone to have some fun."
Zhang Song's words immediately caused a round of applause. Ren Yi said in a sly tone, "Don't worry. Wait until I have completely taken her down. I will bring her out to meet everyone. Then I will treat you to a good game!"
Warm applause rang out in the room. Wen Liang knew Ren Yi too well and decisively found out the loophole. He bumped into his shoulder when he was not paying attention and chuckled, "How far have you gone? Have you kissed?"
Ren Yi's smile froze on his face, and he stammered, "No, not yet..."
"Hold hands?"
“Neither do I.”
"Your confession was accepted?"
“Not yet.”
"So... Your Excellency, what do you mean by a thousand miles a day?"
"Before, I always looked at her from afar, as if we were thousands of miles apart. Now I can stand in front of her and talk to her. Isn't it a thousand miles apart?"
"Fuck!" Wen Liang said with strong contempt: "In other words, you and she are just ordinary friends?"
Ren Yi sighed deeply and said, "Would you like to hear the truth?"
"certainly!"
Ren Yi put his fingers in his mouth to soak up some saliva, then drew two tear marks at the corners of his eyes, pretending to be Qu Yuan jumping into the river and looking up at the sky, and said faintly: "The truth is that she doesn't reject me as much as before, but she will never say a word to me outside of work. She is just a little better than a stranger, not even an ordinary friend."
"Don't be impatient. Girls' minds are more complicated, especially those like Song Wan. You have to cook slowly over a low fire, and water dripping through a stone slowly. Look, she was rude to you before, and there was a warning zone every ten meters around her. Now at least you can work together. She didn't object, which means she doesn't dislike you, or that she was moved by you when you showed up at the deaf school. This is a huge improvement!"
"Boss, you are the one who understands my heart clearly. I think so too. As the saying goes, good food is never too late, and a good man is never too young. I will just keep spending time with her. Sincerity can move mountains and rocks. I don't believe that I can't melt this iceberg!"
The boys were chatting here, and the girls were not idle over there either. Ji Su took Xie Yan's hand and asked, "Are the results out? How many points did you get?"
"Well, it just came out two days ago, 655 points, about ten points higher than my estimate."
“Wow, that’s amazing!”
Xu Yao was amazed, Ning Xiaoning also looked sideways, Ji Su said with admiration: "I wish I could be as good as you."
In the mid-1990s, the college entrance examination was still based on a 750-point system, with + exam subjects, and the weighted average of each subject's scores was used to get a final score. Last year, the admission score for Tsinghua University and Peking University in Jiangdong Province was around 60 points, which means that with Xie Yan's grades, even if he was not the top scorer in Qingzhou's college entrance examination, at least he had no pressure to get into these two prestigious schools.
However, the examination system at that time was quite tricky. After the exam, students usually had to estimate their scores first, and then fill in their preferences based on their estimates. Basically, they applied blindly and relied on luck. When the results came out, some people were happy and some were sad. Some high-scoring students were disappointed to fail, while others were admitted to good schools with low scores.
This major exam, which is regarded as a test that can change one's life destiny, actually uses such an unscientific examination and recruitment procedure. It shows how painful it is in a country where bureaucracy is prevalent!
Meng Ke sighed, "Oh, what a pity! If we hadn't applied for Jiangda University when we applied for college, we would have had a senior sister from Tsinghua University or Peking University..."
Xie Yan secretly glanced at Wen Liang who was chatting and laughing with Ren Yi. He felt a little guilty for some reason and said, "This time it was mainly because of my exceptional performance and luck. I might not be able to get into Tsinghua or Peking University even if I applied. But Jiang University has been my dream for many years. It's actually pretty good to be able to study there!"
"Well, Jiangda's School of Economics is ranked in the top five in the country, and accounting and finance are the best in the industry, no worse than other schools. By the way, Xie Yan, you applied for accounting, right?"
Xie Yan nodded and chuckled, "You all know my family's situation, so I've always hoped to study economics and make more money to reduce the burden on my family. Just like Su Su said, being able to go to school in Jiangdong is a gift from God, so I'm very satisfied."
Everyone has always admired Xie Yan, and they all congratulated him. Xie Yan felt a little embarrassed and said, "Okay, let's stop talking about me and talk about you. You're going to be in the second year of high school soon. Have you thought about what school to apply to and what you want to do in the future?"
Xu Yao hugged her legs and curled up in the chair, saying, "I haven't made up my mind yet, but my mother wants me to go to medical school and take over her job. But I'm impatient and impatient. Wearing a white coat and holding a scalpel, not to mention the patients are afraid, I'm also afraid that I might get into trouble by accident..."
Meng Ke held his chin with his right hand and put his arm on the table. He said, "I want to take the normal school exam and become a university teacher in the future. I heard that university teachers have a very leisurely life. They teach one or two classes a week and have complete freedom in the rest of the time. Hee, it's perfect for a lazy person like me."
"Lazy!" Ji Su smiled and tickled Meng Ke, who smiled tenderly and hid in Xu Yao's arms. Xu Yao domineeringly protected her, grabbed Ji Su's hand, and asked, "Su Su, what about you?"
"As for me, let me think about it," Ji Suzhen thought for a moment, a distressed look on his face, and said, "I don't know what I want to do in the future. Let nature take its course. Either I go to study medicine with you, Xiaoyao, or I become a teacher with Meng'er. It doesn't matter to me."
"Okay, okay, Meng'er, don't fight with me. Just let Susu come with me. Come, let's have a drink for Xu Yidao and Ji Yidao, the most famous people in the future medical system!"
The women poured juice and drank it all in one gulp. Xu Yao even insisted on entwining her arms with Ji Su's, and held her to drink a cup of wine together. The two women's equally delicate faces complemented each other, like the two most beautiful flowers in the world, brightening up the world.
"Xiao Ning, what about you?"
Putting down the juice, Ji Su looked at Ning Xiaoning who had been silent the whole time. Ning Xiaoning said calmly: "Military school!"
For the Ning family, they have been inseparable from the military since the day they were born. No matter how they try to dodge, they can't wash away the deep imprint engraved on their surname. However, with the development of the times, facing too many temptations and choices, several grandchildren who were highly expected by Ning Huchen all escaped from the military system, which made the old man very sad and disappointed.
Ning Xiaoning was very young, so although she was loved by the Ning family, she was not trained as a core by the old man. In other words, in the Ning family, which was full of talented people, except for a genius like Ning Xi, it was extremely difficult to enter the old man's sight.
But because of this, when Ning Xi also embarked on another path for various reasons, Ning Huchen's eyes suddenly stopped on Ning Xiaoning.
He is calm, cool, independent, resolute, and has good skills. He is a perfect candidate for a military career!
So when Ning Xi won the game in the capital, jumped out of the world that restricted her, and went to explore her own future and world, Ning Guobang, who was far away in Qingzhou, also received news from the capital. The old man personally said that Ning Xiaoning should apply for the National Defense University.
But in the past year, Ning Xiaoning first helped out at the Bayi Store, then persuaded Wen Liang to work in Qinghe, and privately taught herself a lot of economics. Could it be that what she was seeking was to march in the army where obedience to orders was the first duty
What she wanted was not a life that followed the rules, but to follow in the footsteps of Ning Xi, whom she admired and loved the most, to work hard in the thrilling business world, to experience the sense of accomplishment of creating everything from nothing, and to enjoy the excitement of the ups and downs.
Of course, she did not deny that her mood would become much better when she saw the money in her pocket increasing day by day.
However, she was not Ning Xi. She did not have Ning Xi's courage to rebel against her family, nor did she feel the need to do so. Since Grandpa had spoken, and Dad had made it clear that she could follow Grandpa's wishes and apply to the National Defense University, she would not refuse!
In fact, Ning Xiaoning, who seems to be the most indifferent by nature, is the most sensible one among the three generations of the Ning family. In order to comfort her grandfather, she can give up the future she wants most!
This is not grievance, nor is it surrender, but on the scale of life, she does not think that her dream is more important than the expectations of an eighty-year-old man!
"Go to military school?" Xu Yao asked curiously, "Didn't you say you wanted to go to Wharton like Sister Ning Xi?"
Ning Xiaoning had never told Xu Yao about the military academy. Even if they were as close as sisters, they should have their own little secrets. She pinched her nose and said, "How can I compare with Sister Ning Xi? Besides, being a soldier is not bad. You are going to be a doctor, so I have to get a uniform to wear."
"Bah, bah, Xiao Ning, your thoughts are too vulgar. What uniform or not? If those brats hear you, won't they have nosebleeds?"
The girls giggled and looked at Wen Liang. Wen Liang was confused by their stares and touched his nose, saying, "Do I have a flower on my face?"
The girls burst into laughter, their clear and sweet laughter added a touch of dazzling brightness to the gentle seventeen years old! (To be continued)
