At nine o'clock in the morning the next day, the theory test for the rematch began.
Three hours later, hundreds of candidates from across the province walked out of the examination room together.
For most candidates, their rematch journey is over, because only students with higher theoretical scores are eligible to participate in the experimental exam the next afternoon.
This kind of competition system is extremely cruel. On the night after the test, before you can breathe a sigh of relief, the results and the corresponding rankings will be announced. According to the rankings, everyone can estimate what kind of prizes they are probably in.
There is no buffering time at all.
In the afternoon, students from other ordinary classes in N City No. 1 Middle School had already followed the online guide and went to various scenic spots in J City to play, but the students of the two grades in the competition class were all dazed.
I wanted to play, but I couldn't enjoy myself because I was too busy. Don't play, it's hard to get through this time in the hotel, so after Chen Jun's suggestion, eleven people played Werewolf in the hotel's chess and card room.
As a result, after only two or three hours of playing, Liu Zhijun hurriedly knocked on the door of the chess and card room.
"The results are out."
Cao Zhixue, who had drawn the wolf card, was about to kill someone while it was dark, and when he heard this, he blurted out the words "Fuck."
Everyone turned to look at Liu Zhijun in unison.
Old Liu, who has been paralyzed for more than a year, has a strange redness on his thick cheeks that are still shiny at the moment, making his already dark face even darker.
He probably ran up in a hurry, although his face was still expressionless, but there were large drops of sweat on his forehead, and he was still breathing slightly when he spoke.
Liu Zhijun stood at the door and wiped his face heavily.
He took a deep breath and announced, "The scores of all the students in our class are in the top 100 in the province."
The end of the speech was still a little trembling.
Everyone in the competition class looked at me and I looked at you. The almost dead silence was interrupted by Cao Zhixue's "Fuck".
What the hell? All are in the top 100 in the province
Do you mean at least all of them are second prize or above? Moreover, the second prize of the top 100 in the province is different from the second prize of the top 200 or 300. In the last session, there were more than 80 seniors, and finally he went to Z University through self-enrollment.
Forget about others, he himself actually got into the top 100 in the province
In fact, Cao Zhixue was one of the people in this group who faced the exam with the most ease. He was always at the bottom of the competition class test, and he thought it would be good to get two or three hundred.
Anyway, he is only in the second year of high school. If he can get two or three hundred places this time, it will be considered very good. His goal has always been in the third year of high school.
Unexpectedly, he actually reached the top 100 in the province? Fool Cao put down the wolf card in his hand in a daze, and his normally fast-moving brain suddenly stopped at this moment.
Not only Cao Zhixue, but most of the rest of the competition class had their heads buzzing, and they couldn't calm down for a long time.
Liu Zhijun breathed a sigh of excitement: "Also, the top 120 students in the province selected for the theoretical exam this year will participate in the experimental exam, and the list has come out. All the students in our class, all eleven students, are in the experimental exam tomorrow. on the list."
When he said this, the hand holding the door frame trembled, and his voice stuttered.
There was another dead silence in the chess and card room.
Everyone's mood is like riding a roller coaster, happy and sad.
The happy thing is that if you can participate in the experimental exam, you may win the first prize; the sad thing is that it seems that the werewolf killing can't go on, and you can't go out for a walk. I must review the content of tomorrow's experimental exam tonight.
After Liu Zhijun finished speaking, he also regained his former calm, turned his face away, took away the cards from their hands one by one, and pretended to be serious: "Go down to dinner, you are not allowed to go out at night after dinner, either review or rest. , Tomorrow's lab exam is crucial! If you win the first prize, you can spend the rest of the year in high school lying down."
Everyone was trembling at first, but when they heard the last sentence, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"Well, I'm going to lie at home for a year."
"Me too, I want to play games while lying down."
…
So in the afternoon of the second day, eleven people went to the place for the experimental exam together.
Although the lab exams were conducted in batches, basically all the candidates who took the exams were already waiting in the long corridor outside the laboratory.
There were several classmates from Z City Experimental High School who had dinner with them yesterday. The short-haired girl saw them at a glance and came over to greet them intimately.
"Are you all here? Waiting for your classmates?"
Her first reaction was like this. There must be one or two classmates in the school who are going to take the experimental exam. They have nothing to do, so they all come and wait.
When Cao Zhixue heard this, he smiled and shook his head, with an unconcealed smugness in his eyes: "No, eleven people in our class are here to take the experimental exam."
After he finished speaking, the small area of the corridor suddenly fell silent.
Others in the hallway: "… "
There are not many people who can come to take the experimental exam. Just like the Z City Experiment and the Provincial Experiment, there are 20 or 30 people in the top high schools in the province. From other elementary schools, there are only one or two people left here. Where can I see you? After such a big battle
But they were surprised and surprised, but not as shocked as the short-haired girl.
I was so shocked that I didn't come back to my senses for a long time.
? ? how can that be possible? Aren't they from poor counties? Can't even hire a physics teacher
And they're only sophomores...
After a long time, the short-haired girl asked tremblingly, "Which school are you from? Did you come from the provincial experiment?"
Chen Jun shook his head and straightened his chest: "No, we are from N City No. 1 Middle School."
N City No. 1 Middle School? Have not heard. However, N City is indeed not a poor county. It is considered a relatively well-developed small city.
The short-haired girl took a deep breath and reached out to Chen Jun with a smile: "Give me back the prawns."
Chen Jun: "..."
…
In the afternoon, the experimental exams were conducted in batches, and it was past six o'clock in the evening when all the exams were completed.
So far, the provincial semi-finals of this year's physics competition have come to an end.
It was rare for Liu Zhijun to be generous, and he took eleven people to a famous food street nearby and told them to eat whatever they wanted.
After voting, everyone unanimously decided to go to a Sichuan restaurant with high online ratings.
In the big box, after the waiter served all the dishes, at Sansha's strong request, he brought them a few bottles of the sorghum wine brewed by the store. It was over 30 degrees, and it was quite strong.
Seeing that Liu Zhijun's eyebrows were about to become pimples, Chen Jun poured a glass of wine and held it up to him: "Old class, take it easy, the exam is finally over, can't you just laugh? Hold one every day. Isn't your face tired?"
In this class, he is probably the only one who can talk to Liu Zhijun like this. Liu Zhijun said nothing, shook his head helplessly, and poured himself a glass.
The two girls couldn't drink and drank the juice obediently, but the group of boys drank it.
Seeing that the young man wanted to pour wine, Zhang Man quickly grabbed his wine glass and poured a glass of orange juice into it.
After pouring it, he even showed him with his eyes that he would have a headache if he didn't drink well.
The young man was stunned, looked at her with a long smile, picked up the wine glass compromisingly, and took a sip of orange juice.
She put her empty left hand under the table and gently held the girl's right hand.
Zhang Man couldn't break free, and was too embarrassed to make too much noise, so he scratched his palm and whispered in his ear, "I can't eat without my right hand."
As a result, he bit his ear and was seen by Jin Ming next to him.
He took Li Wei's wine glass, poured out the orange juice, and skillfully filled it with some sorghum wine.
"Can you two do it, Zhang Man, you can't do this, your boyfriend has to drink today too, can you drink orange juice?"
Zhang Man was called out in public by him, her face flushed all of a sudden, she quietly raised her head and glanced awkwardly at Liu Zhijun opposite.
The head teacher is still there, what does this fool say...
Unexpectedly, Liu Zhijun laughed.
Wannian's paralyzed face actually smiled? Everyone at the table almost dropped their jaws.
"Don't look at me, I've known it for a long time. Every day I drive back from get off work, I can see them walking down the alley holding hands."
Zhang Man: "…"
Laoban, is it really good for you to let go of yourself like this
At this time, Jin Ming complained bitterly and angrily: "How can you be like this, old class? You are too partial! Why is it not a relationship when a big guy falls in love? You gave me that you confiscated last semester to the next class. Give me back the love letter written by the girl!"
That voice was hysterical and tragic, causing everyone at the table to burst into laughter.
They are all half-old children, how much alcohol can they drink, and they all start to feel a little dizzy after one or two glasses of wine.
Chen Jun was drinking and drinking, and suddenly stood up with a flushed face and toasted Li Wei with a glass of wine: "Big brother, no, buddy, I toast you with this glass of wine. I won't say anything, what was my level before the few of us? I know, if it weren't for you as our coach, Cao Zhixue and I would definitely not be able to pass the experimental exam."
He was obviously drinking too much. After speaking in a serious manner, he hiccups and added: "Although... Although you robbed the person I like, oh no, it's because I wanted to rob your girlfriend but didn't get it... also …”
Although he was drunk, he could sense that the atmosphere was not right, so in the midst of the boy's increasingly dark face, Zhang Man's redder and redder face, and the laughter of the table full of people clapping the table, he cowardly ended: "Forget it. Now, I don't understand it, anyway, I'll give you a toast!"
The young man's face darkened for a while, but he didn't lose face, he raised his glass and drank it all at once.
After him, several classmates toasted Li Weijiu, and even Liu Zhijun toasted him several times.
Although everyone did not say much, the gratitude is self-evident.
By the time the meal was over, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. Several classmates who were drunk and unconscious were stuffed into the taxi by Liu Zhijun.
At night in City J, it is very different from City N. There is no sound of waves and no roaring sea breeze.
After all, it is a provincial capital city, and the surrounding streets are much more prosperous than N city.
Pedestrians are in a hurry, and the beautiful girls all over the street don't dress as cool as summer, and put on thin coats one after another. On the road, in addition to the endless stream of private cars, there are also many large trucks carrying goods, and the shrill horns show the sleepless night of the city.
It's almost the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar, the moon and stars are sparse, and the sky looks far away from them. The cool autumn wind is blowing, very comfortable.
Zhang Man held the boy's hand, and the two walked slowly at the end. She was full of joy in her heart, and while peeking at the boy's profile, she counted the street lamps one by one on the road.
At the next intersection, the direction of the hotel was to turn left, but the boy walked straight ahead.
Zhang Man couldn't help but be a little surprised, how could he not remember the way
"… Boy friend?"
She pulled the man back with all her strength, but found that he was dumbfounded. Wherever she pulled him, he would go, like a puppet without a soul.
This is... Drunk
Zhang Man's heart was funny. He didn't look good when he was drinking, and he didn't talk nonsense like other people. She just saw his expressionless and calm expression, she thought he wasn't drunk.
It was still drunk.
It's no wonder that he really drank a lot tonight. When everyone toasted him, although he didn't say anything, he drank the wine in the glass every time.
Zhang Man stopped, stretched out two fingers, and shook it in front of the boy's eyes.
"Boyfriend, what is this?"
The boy's brows furrowed slightly, and he distinguished for a while: "...Manman."
She shook her finger again: "I didn't ask you to call me, I was asking, what time is it?"
The boy didn't hesitate this time, suddenly smiled and hugged her: "I answered, this is my Manman."
As he spoke, he rubbed her face.
He drank wine and his face was hot, maybe he felt that her face was cool and comfortable to rub against, so he rubbed it again and again.
Well, not lightly drunk.
Zhang Man was so drunk that he pulled the man away with great effort, and then took his hand again: "Forget it, I won't bother with you as a drunkard, let's go, I'll take you back."
The boy obediently hugged her and nodded obediently: "Wherever Manman goes, I'll go."
After speaking, he looked straight at her, as if waiting for her order.
Zhang Man's heart melted at once, unable to hold back, he hugged him and kissed several times.
When has she seen him like this? She followed her docilely behind her buttocks, as obedient as a little sheep.
Although the teenager was drunk, he walked steadily. After a few minutes of walking, the two returned to the hotel.
Zhang Man took him and sent the person to his own room first.
Basically, the school arranges double rooms, one room for two people. For example, she lived with Qi Lele yesterday.
But the total number of people was odd. Since Li Wei was special, Liu Zhijun let him live in a single room by himself.
Zhang Man pressed the person to sit on the bed.
"Go to wash your face obediently for a while, change your clothes before going to bed, okay?"
The young man raised his head when he heard the voice, Jun's face flushed almost invisible, his eyes were confused, and he didn't know if he heard it.
Zhang Man smiled and sighed, took out a set of pajamas from his bag and put it beside him.
"Change this suit for a while and then go to sleep, okay?"
He still didn't speak.
Zhang Man leaned over to hug him and kissed him on the face: "Be good, I'm leaving."
As a result, as soon as he turned around, he was pulled by someone.
Zhang Man turned around, but he didn't expect that the person who had just sat on the bed obediently suddenly stood up and picked her up by the waist.
Her exclamation was hoarse in her throat, and she was thrown onto the bed.
The young man stepped forward.
Through the bright chandelier in the room, Zhang Man saw the corners of his red eyes.
He drank too much wine, and there was a strong smell of alcohol on his body, which belonged to the ambiguous atmosphere of the night, which became stronger and stronger between the two.
Alcohol, in addition to delusions, is another thing in the world that can make people lose their minds.
The boy was red-eyed, driven by primitive desire, and frantically kissed the girl in his arms.
Some scenes that once appeared repeatedly in the dream appeared again in front of me at this moment.
It was as if one night before, in his dream, just like now, his hair was loose, lying under him, his watery eyes staring at him tenderly.
Following the order in the dream, the teenager first kissed the forehead, then the cheek, and then focused on her slightly pursed lips.
Rolling over, pressing over, the direct kiss made both of them gasp for breath.
While kissing, he murmured vaguely: "Manman, Manman..."
Zhang Man's heart was warm and nervous, especially the slender fingers of the young man had slipped slowly from the hem of her T-shirt into her waist.
His fingertips were cold, stabbing her whole body, and the unfamiliar touch on her waist made her feel itchy, but she still gritted her teeth and didn't push him away.
As the teenager kissed, the hand went around her waist to her back, gently rubbing her spine.
Zhang Man trembled all over, took a deep breath, raised his hand and hooked his neck.
Just when she was about to break the jar, her body suddenly sank.
He stopped all movements, rubbed his head on her neck, breathing gradually even.
… Fell asleep.
Zhang Man shoved the person away from his body, crying and laughing, but he was relieved.
Bah, bah, what was she thinking just now, he's not even an adult yet...
She turned over from the bed, tidied up the messy clothes on her body, sighed in resignation, changed the boy's pajamas in person, and went to the bathroom to soak his hands and face with a towel, so that he lay comfortably.
When the towel touched his lips, he seemed to be muttering something, and Zhang Man leaned in to listen.
"Manman... don't leave me, okay... "
"do not leave me… "
She was slightly startled, and a little soreness came to her heart again.
During this period of time, he never said such a thing to her again. He didn't expect that subconsciously, he was still as afraid of losing her as before.
"Well, I'm not going..."
Zhang Man leaned against the boy's lips, pressed a kiss, then took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Qi Lele.
"I'm not coming back to sleep tonight, you lock the door."
…
At nine o'clock the next morning, Zhang Man was woken up by the ringing of his mobile phone.
Liu Zhijun called everyone one by one.
"Everyone gathered in my room, the results are out, and they can be checked on the official website."
Everyone was really awakened from a dream, and a spirit got up and rushed out of the room before he could wash his face.
Eleven people gathered in Lao Ban's room within ten minutes.
Liu Zhijun turned on the computer and called them one by one to check the results.
Everyone was very nervous, and the atmosphere in the room was a little heavy for a while.
"Li Wei, come first, you must be fine."
"The candidate's name, Li Wei; admission ticket number, XXXXX..."
Liu Zhijun listened to his report while operating, and pressed Enter after filling in.
The hotel's wireless network is very stuck, and the browser turns a small circle for 30 seconds before it comes out.
Liu Zhijun glanced at the page and breathed a sigh of relief: "The experimental and theoretical results are very high, and the first prize is estimated to be among the top few in the province. If you are good, you will definitely enter the provincial team."
Next, it was Zhang Man's turn.
"Zhang Man, the admission ticket number XXXXX... It's very good, the grades are very good, and it's also the first prize."
This time, Liu Zhijun was a little surprised. With this score, he might be able to enter the provincial team
Next, everyone took turns to check the scores and check the results.
Many years later, most of them have become elites in various fields, but every time I think of this scene, I can still hear the blood boiling in my chest.
This year, on this warm morning, in a small room in the hotel next to the No. 3 Middle School in J City, the early autumn sun slanted on the curtains.
A middle-aged man with disheveled hair, and eleven and a half children, gathered around a thick laptop.
The computer hardware was not very good. When the fan was turning, it was whirring. In such a noisy background sound, the man trembled slightly, and it sounded every minute.
-Like piety and solemnity, give everyone a stamp of honor.
"Chen Jun... First prize."
"Qi Lele... First Prize"
"Jin Ming first prize..."
"… First prize."
"First prize."
…
This year's Province L still took the top 50 in the semi-finals as the first prize of the province, and their N City No. 1 Middle School and High School 2 material competition classes accounted for 11. This kind of result, in previous years, only the provincial experiment or the Z city experiment can get it.
A long time after checking the results, the room fell into a dead silence.
After a while, what broke the silence was not Cao Zhixue's "crying trough", but Qi Lele's cry.
She choked softly at first, but then she couldn't help it anymore. The fat girl who was usually timid and quiet and had no sense of existence suddenly squatted down, and later even fell to the floor, covering her face and crying.
It was like a nerve that had been tense for so long suddenly snapped.
It's good, it's good, they struggled together, cheered each other up, and no one was left alone.
In the closed room, the girl's uncontrollable cries echoed everywhere, gradually making everyone's eyes red.
Even Liu Zhijun tilted his head and blinked away the wetness in his eyes.
It's really not easy for this group of children. He has taught books for nearly 20 years, and he has also been in charge of more than ten class competitions. He has never seen such a hard-working and self-conscious class.
From the beginning of the second semester of high school to the present, plus the summer vacation, for a full seven months, there are eleven people in the competition class. In these seven months, they have paid too much.
On normal weekends, the students are on vacation, and they are training; at noon, the students take a nap, and they are studying the questions; in the evening, when the students finish their homework or read a magazine or novel, they are in class or even taking an exam.
In addition, the school originally stipulated that the summer training camp was one and a half months, and they spontaneously extended it to a full two months. During the period, except for a few classmates who took several vacations due to illness, no one was absent.
Everyone talks, laughs and slaps each other in school every day, but as soon as they start the problem, they can't tell who is more serious than the other.
Sometimes, hard work or ideals are never a high-sounding slogan. These young children, at this age when they should be making jokes, carry their heavy future.
