On the day when the preliminary results came out, most of the students in the little dark room were in high spirits. After all, the first stage of the exam was over.
Although the difficulty of the subsequent semi-finals has increased a lot, as long as you win the prize, even if you are the second or third prize in the province, you can also get the qualifications for self-enrollment of ordinary 211 universities or ordinary 985 universities, which is one more way than others.
Zhang Man was also in a good mood. After dinner with Chen Feier, he went for a walk in the cinders playground, which he seldom went to before.
She was really busy during this time, sometimes she didn't have time for dinner at all, she could only eat bread, and it had been a long time since she had eaten with Chen Fei'er.
In summer, the days are long, and it is already six o'clock in the evening, but the sky is as bright as day.
The thunderstorm season in July and August has passed, followed by half a month of sunny days, but it is even hotter than July and August.
Fortunately, there is a little wind at night.
The school has just started, and there are a lot of new faces in the school. The juniors and juniors who have just entered the first year of high school have not experienced the urgency of high school life in just over a week, and the freshness of the new school life has not passed.
Playing ball on the playground, taking a walk, everyone is full of youthful vigor.
It is said that in the high school campus, at first glance, the most energetic person is the first year of high school, the one with no expression is the second year of high school, and the one who is very depressed is the third year of high school.
It's not without reason.
The two passed between the two rows of evergreen firs and walked on the path paved with rain and flower stones next to the playground.
The greening of No. 1 Middle School has always been done well. Except for the weeping willows by the Shuangcheng River, every corner of the school is full of flowers and trees. In autumn and winter, I don't think it is obvious, but in spring and summer, it is especially obvious. The whole campus is full of greenery that makes people feel calm.
Walking out of the fir forest, there is a whole row of tall camphors in front of you. The color of the camphor leaves gradually settles from the tender green in early spring.
September is the tail end of every summer and the most lush time for camphor. As we got closer, there was an inexplicable fragrance of camphor leaves in the air.
At the other end of the road, there is a long wooden corridor. On the wooden frame at the top of the corridor, there are dense wisteria vines. The purple flowers are dotted on the turquoise vines, hanging like a waterfall. The breeze floats gently, like a dream.
Chen Fei'er took Zhang Man's arm and rubbed her head on her shoulder: "Manman, I really envy you, can I go to college if I take the exam again next month? Can I still be dear to you? go with my boyfriend, woohoo, I have to suffer for another year."
Zhang Man pushed her head away and rolled his eyes.
It's really hard for others to go to high school, and Chen Fei'er is really sorry for their head teacher to say that they are suffering.
She couldn't bear her temper to study, and she was very busy every day. Two days ago, I heard that she also brought miniature mahjong to school to play, and she lived a comfortable life.
She patted her head and said amusingly, "It's so easy. There will be a rematch next month, and there will be a final next month. You see, I've been tired and thin recently."
Chen Fei'er looked at her up and down: "tsk tsk tsk, that's true, your face seems to be sharp again, is your baby boyfriend okay? Manman, you're working too hard, I was with you last night. It was so late that you were still studying, so I hung up and was scolded by my mother for telling me to learn from you. She didn't even think about it. We have known each other for so many years. You have already learned, and you still have to wait until now... It's not easy for you good students, forget it, I'll still be a scumbag, hehe."
Zhang Man didn't bother to worry about her either. This girl's life is good. She's carefree and heartless.
Chen Feier said, and thought of another topic: "By the way, the relationship between you and Li Wei was exposed a while ago, and the school post bar went viral for a long time. During that time, I heard that the literary bar in front of the school is full of lovelorn every day. The boys and girls, haha, do you say that you have a crush on Li Wei in your family, or do you like you more? But some people are really strange, you don't even know that the boy in our class was the one who asked me to give it to you before. The Jiang Jingran who gave the gift, do you remember? I heard the news a while ago, and I was so depressed. In the past two days, I heard that he suddenly started chasing a first-year elementary school girl... I was so angry that I gave him a gift for nothing. I thought he was so affectionate."
Zhang Man smiled and patted her: "Then I don't like people, you still expect people to like me all the time."
What's more, many times before meeting the real right person, some young people like it, it really doesn't have to be you.
"I don't think he should always like you, but think about it, you cry every day during the summer vacation. In a blink of an eye, it's only a few days, and you've hooked up with a primary school girl. Isn't this too showy?", Chen Fei'er wrinkled her nose and complained, and wanted to continue complaining, when she suddenly saw a person sitting on a hidden lawn next to the playground, "Manman, look over there, is that girl sitting with you? What's the name of the one in the competition? She seems to be crying."
Zhang Man looked in the direction she was looking, and sure enough, there was a row of tall firs in the middle, and on the green grass, a slightly fat girl was sitting there curled up with her knees, her shoulders kept shaking.
It's Qi Lele.
Just before dinner, everyone was doing quizzes together in the little black room, and she didn't show anything strange...
Chen Feier wanted to walk over and ask what was going on, but was stopped by Zhang Man.
Since he was hiding here and crying, he naturally didn't want to be seen.
The two walked for a while before returning to the classroom.
Before the evening self-study class, Qi Lele finally came back, Zhang Man glanced at her quietly, except that his eyes were a little red, but he couldn't see anything different.
She asked her seemingly nonchalantly, "Lele, have you been unhappy recently?"
Qi Lele was shocked by her question, smiled and shook his head: "No, what can I be unhappy about?"
Zhang Man thought for a while and didn't ask any more questions.
But Qi Lele was obviously in a low mood after self-study in the evening, and he didn't work as hard as usual to answer questions. He often sat in a daze and unconsciously drew circles on paper with a pen.
Finally, after the first evening self-study get out of class, she took the initiative to say to Zhang Man: "Manman, I... I'm really unhappy today, I thought no one would notice."
She pushed her glasses: "You don't know, although I passed the preliminary round, but I passed the line, and my score is lower than that of many students in the ordinary class. In the afternoon, a teacher from the teaching and research team of the school came to me. , asked me about my future arrangements, whether I want to stay in the competition class or go back to the college entrance examination."
She said, her eyes getting redder.
"I know the teachers are doing it for me. After all, studying material competitions is really time-consuming. If you go all the way to the dark and get no results, then you won't be able to pass the college entrance examination. But I'm really uncomfortable."
She said and shook her head: "Forget it... I don't even know what I'm talking about. I'm too bad. Maybe I'm really not suitable for studying physics."
Zhang Man looked at her dejected appearance, and remembered how she usually worked hard to solve problems and review, and she couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
After all, she was a high school teacher in her previous life. After a little contact with her usual performance, she thought of the crux.
Qi Lele is usually relatively silent, and she doesn't have much sense of presence in the entire competition class, but she does almost no less practice than Zhang Man.
And she can see that this girl likes physics very much and has talent, but she is too timid. In the past, when Lin Ping was working, he asked her to go up to do the questions. Many times, she knew she could do it under the hood. Can't write.
She thought of how nervous Qi Lele was about to faint before the preliminary exam, and she knew it immediately. A large part of the reason why her score is so low is because her psychological quality is too poor, or, in other words, she has not adapted to the environment of the exam.
Then the score came out, and her self-confidence was hit even more, which was why she was so depressed.
"Lele, listen to me, there is no problem with your ability. You are much smarter than me, but you were too nervous during the exam. Think about it, you went to the preliminary exam that day, half an hour before the exam. Three times in the bathroom, I see your hands shaking while holding the pen."
As Zhang Man said, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional.
Whether it is the college entrance examination or competition, it is a very difficult road. Talent, hard work, luck, and psychological quality are indispensable. No one can easily achieve their ideals. Anyone in this world is experiencing unimaginable struggles and struggles.
Life is really like this, there are countless paths, but the dream is often the most tortuous one.
"I know it myself, but I just can't control it. Before every big test, I tell myself not to be nervous, but the more I talk about it, the more nervous I get. As soon as the papers are sent out, I am completely stunned. Practice, I don't remember at all by then. I really don't know what's the use of me trying harder..."
She said, sobbing softly.
"Zhang Man, sometimes I really envy you. I think you are very mature and courageous. You know what? I was so angry that Lin Ping was saying those words in the class, but I just didn't dare stand up. Rant him, I thought at the time, you guys are very handsome."
"You and I are really different. I think you are very handsome and stable even in love. You are calm and self-sufficient. Unlike the little girls in our class, who are not in a relationship yet, your husband is long and short every day. "
Zhang Man was laughed at by her, thinking that after all, she outlived them by more than ten years, how could they compare them together.
In her previous life, when she was in high school, she was withdrawn and timid, perhaps even worse than Qi Lele.
She wanted to say something to comfort her. At this moment, a loud ringing sounded in the classroom. Zhang Man came back to his senses and found that it was Li Wei's phone ringing.
This year's N city is very popular with various personalized ringtones, but Li Wei's ringtones have always been the default ringtones when buying a mobile phone.
The teenager was not in the classroom. He just went to Liu Zhijun's office to report on the two days of teaching.
Zhang Man took out his phone from his schoolbag, sat back in his seat, glanced at the screen, and found that it was a foreign phone number.
She has always been the only contact on his phone, and no one has ever looked for him, so he doesn't remember much about mute.
Didn't expect someone to find him today? And it's a foreign phone call...
Zhang Man pressed the answer button and picked it up.
"Hello, Jingang Lanwan real estate has opened, adjacent to Jiangcheng Railway Station and Experimental Primary School, with a variety of room types..."
"… "
She cut off the phone, and just wanted to put the phone back, when the screen of the phone flashed before her eyes, but suddenly she felt something was wrong.
She reopened her phone and saw the wallpaper on the phone's desktop... It was a screenshot of the Tieba post page, which seemed to be enlarged.
In the middle of the desktop, black characters on a white background are very eye-catching.
[Zhang Man]: The previous ones are invalid, my husband is the most handsome!
Zhang Man: "…"
Qi Lele, who happened to see it by the side, said: "..."
The tears that had just swirled in his eyes were suddenly frightened back.
?
What about being calm and self-sufficient, handsome and steady
