The last days of high school are gradually approaching in the countdown.
Cheng Feiyang still went out early and came back late every day. Sometimes Xu Lan would complain and the two would quarrel. Cheng Ran listened from the room. It seemed that his father's research progress was still stuck. Just like in his previous life, this matter could not be resolved during his high school entrance examination.
After failing the high school entrance exam and his family urgently needed money, Cheng Feiyang was exhausted and had no choice but to give up.
At times like this, Cheng Ran couldn't get involved. This kind of quarrel was sometimes one of the ways they got along with each other, at least it was a way to vent stress.
The review sheet in his hand was almost finished, and Cheng Ran had already mastered all the knowledge points of junior high school. All that was left was to calmly wait for the arrival of the high school entrance examination and then get through it.
The cultural wall was also gradually being completed. Yu Xiao showed some concern during the process. Of course, he mainly asked about how Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao got along with each other. He was worried that Cheng Ran would mess up something.
What happened on Wednesday evening caused a stir among Zhang Xiaojia, Liu Ying and Yao Beibei. Jiang Hongshao and Cheng Ran might be dating? This unpredictable but unbelievable conclusion seemed to be enough to shock everyone that day.
But firstly, the high school entrance exam was approaching, and most people were focused on the final sprint. Even though a few people from other classes saw the two holding hands that day, the impact of this incident was not that big. Even if many people heard about it, they seemed to just express surprise, or felt it was abnormal, and did not continue to investigate further.
At this time, everyone is in a panic and is preparing for further studies. There are students who skip classes every day, and there are also people who suddenly start to date due to separation and exam pressure. But there is no doubt that this is probably just a short-lived scene in the final stage, and most of the time it is not surprising.
Jiang Hongshao is a low-key person, not ostentatious. Those who know her and have come into contact with her will be amazed by her, while those who don't know her will just think of her as an ordinary person. Maybe they have seen such a person in middle school.
Recently, Yang Xia would inadvertently look at the figure of the man in the classroom, and her heart would twitch inexplicably, just like the empty feeling of her heart skipping a beat.
She didn't understand why Cheng Ran, who had just confessed his love to her at the art performance, was holding hands with Jiang Hongshao so soon
She had read in a psychology book before that when a person is overstimulated, he is like a drowning person, and any comfort around him may become a life-saving straw that he holds tightly.
That day, she really beat and kicked him in front of the whole school, and even said that...
Looking back, Cheng Ran’s emergency rescue at that time seemed helpless. Anyone facing his situation... may not show it on the surface, but in fact it is no less than being hit by the full force of the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms...
At times like this, people will lose their center, become extremely abnormal, and do many things that they would never even think of under normal circumstances.
So, it was me who pushed Cheng Ran to the opposite side
Cheng Ran can explain it, but how does Jiang Hongshao explain it
…
Jiang Hongshao is a student with excellent character and academic performance. According to Liu Ying, she has always been ranked around the top ten in the class. Sometimes she would drop below ten places, and sometimes she would rise to between seventh and eighth place.
But Liu Ying was evasive in her words. Based on her experience with Jiang Hongshao, she knew that this was not her true academic performance. So there was only one conclusion, which was that she deliberately kept her academic performance at this level, neither conspicuous nor lagging behind, so that she could know her own bottom line and it was in line with her low-key style. This was a bit scary...
Those top students who always strive for high scores often feel lonely at the top and rarely have close friends. Did Jiang Hongshao suppress her true level in order to meet her social needs or not stand out from the crowd
But no matter what, she will be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School, which is a key high school in the province.
As for Cheng Ran, his score was between 400 and 500, so the high school admission score, which generally was 600, was out of his reach.
Don't underestimate the difference of only 100 points between 500 and 600. In fact, every 20 points is basically a level.
The difference in scores reflects the depth of mastery of each main subject and the familiarity with the entire wide range of question types through daily practice. Each level is enough to eliminate the next group of people.
There is only one provincial key high school in Shanhai City, and thousands of people are trying to squeeze in. One point more than others means one more position. Maybe after the door is closed, you will be among them...
Jiang Hongshao and Cheng Ran are from completely different worlds, so how could they be connected together
After repeated discussions in private, Yang Xia, Liu Ying, Yao Beibei and Zhang Xiaojia finally reached a common opinion on this matter.
"She must be helping Cheng Ran. She is deliberately provoking us in front of us. Maybe Cheng Ran planned it... Jiang Hongshao just regards it as helping." Yao Beibei said firmly.
Then she sneered again, "Haha... Cheng Ran really put a lot of effort into this!"
"Although I don't know why Jiang Hongshao and Cheng Ran have such a good relationship..." Liu Ying combined her contact with Jiang Hongshao and concluded, "Cheng Ran... is unlikely to really attract Jiang Hongshao... Jiang Hongshao won't fall in love now. She really knows what she needs and what she wants to do in the future. I think her maturity is far beyond her age. Any of us would fall in love, and she wouldn't joke about her future. So this matter is mostly a prank..."
But Liu Ying was also confused. From what they knew about her, Jiang Hongshao didn't seem like someone who would help just because they were friends, or play a prank on them...
Zhang Xiaojia said, "That's the friendship with Cheng Ran from when we worked together on the bulletin board..."
"Who said it wasn't true!" Yao Beibei said, "I've asked Yu Xiao about it. He was hiding it at first, but he confessed later! Jiang Hongshao has never organized a cultural wall before. She just joined in because she was interested in this!"
That's it...
It's like standing up for Cheng Ran.
Thinking this way would explain it all.
Yang Xia gently loosened his clenched hands and a slight smile appeared on the corners of his mouth.
This is, after all, too boring...
Although I don't know why Cheng Ran and Jiang Hongshao have such a good relationship, whether it's out of pity or this girl is kind-hearted. But if Jiang Hongshao likes Cheng Ran, this is impossible.
However, if this is what Cheng Ran wants to achieve, then so be it.
After all, who doesn't want to impress the person you like when you are about to graduate, especially when you rejected him like that...
Acceptable.
However, none of this makes sense anymore.
The high school entrance examination is coming after all.
She, Jiang Hongshao, and a small number of others will be admitted to the only provincial key high school in Shanhai.
As for Cheng Ran, it is said that his parents are already preparing for him to enter No. 2 Middle School and No. 4 Middle School...
Sometimes you are powerless in the face of this stratification of fate.
…
…
There have been some rumors recently. For example, after a brief silence, Jiang Bo and others began to spread the word that they would cause trouble for Cheng Ran after graduation.
After all, it was hard to swallow the humiliation of being framed at that time, and in the eyes of those who had experienced it, if they could deal with Cheng Ran later, it would be considered as "eliminating harm for the people."
During this period, Cheng Ran also saw Xie Feibai several times. In the same physical education class or during breaks, Xie Feibai and a group of "bad boys" in Yu Xiao's eyes would sometimes be at the entrance of the corridor or at the corner of the auditorium covered with ivy vines. Occasionally, you would see them bullying one or two students, tearing their school uniforms and laughing.
Whenever Xie Feibai's eyes met Cheng Ran's, he would slowly blow out smoke rings, and his narrow eyes, which many girls considered "melancholy and charming", would penetrate the smoke and look at Cheng Ran.
Yu Xiao was always oppressed by his aura and would nod and bow to greet him, but Cheng Ran never spoke to Xie Feibai again.
Sometimes when they walked over, one or two bad boys around Xie Feibai would laugh and ask him, "Is this Cheng Ran? Not so good... Let's not talk about you, is there A De who can fight? But he's a bit shady... If we were Jiang Bo, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to do anything... No wonder Jiang Bo and his gang can't swallow this anger..."
"Let him be careful recently..."
Finally, Xie Feibai flicked off the ash, walked over, and said to Cheng Ran, "I gave you the phone number, but you never called?"
Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment. What was this kid dreaming about? So he said, "Why would I call you if there's nothing wrong?"
"Then what do you want my phone number for? Are you kidding me?" Xie Feibai got a little angry at the time.
"I just said, don't fight if there's nothing wrong, we'll talk later if there's something wrong."
Xie Feibai was a little choked up, and finally felt that he would only get angry to death if he continued to argue with Cheng Ran, so he went straight to the point, "Ahem... Have you heard that Jiang Bo and his group have released anything recently..."
Seeing Xie Feibai's face full of martial arts, Cheng Ran felt like laughing, but he knew that this young man valued his reputation more than anything else, so he nodded and said, "Hmm..."
Xie Feibai put one hand in his jeans pocket, with his thumb sticking out, and gestured with his right index finger, "Do you want me to help you with this matter... Jiang Bo yelled at me at that time, and I really didn't like it..."
Cheng Ran smiled and said, "You should just take care of your own business..."
Being blocked again, Xie Feibai was so depressed, "What the hell can happen to me?"
He was so angry that he stomped his hands on his hips and stomped around on the spot, then turned around and said to Cheng Ran, "Don't act so great all day. Do you understand that if you use your cleverness to trick people, you will have to pay the price later. You are one person, and Jiang Bo is a group of people. Do you know anyone outside? He knows people from the martial arts school and those who hang out in the nearby area... Yes, I dare not do anything in school now, but if you can get out of the school on the day off, I will take your last name!"
“How come a good junior high school has been turned into a corrupt society by you guys… It seems that the middle school has turned into a gangster society since I came into contact with you.” Cheng Ran rubbed his temple.
But Xie Feibai's expression changed. His cool gesture froze in the middle, and his hand slowly dropped, but his voice was unexpectedly a little low, "What do you mean..."
"What do you mean... us?... a mess?"
Xie Feibai paused for a moment, raised his head from the shadows, his face turned pale, and he forced a smile, "… You look down on me, don't you?"
Cheng Ran had a headache. What the hell was going on? Talking to him was simply exhausting.
Yu Xiao, who was beside the two the whole time, quickly explained for Cheng Ran, "He didn't mean that, oops..."
People like Xie Feibai seem to be invincible and full of youthful vigor, but in fact, they have a strong sense of self-esteem. Cheng Ran seemed to realize that his attitude towards him might have hurt him. Although he really didn't plan to communicate with him, he thought it would be better to comfort him at this time.
Seeing Xie Feibai shrug and turn around, Cheng Ran took a step forward, "Why..."
Xie Feibai turned his head suddenly and pointed at Cheng Ran, "If you say another word to me next time, I'll slap myself twice!"
After leaving these harsh words, Xie Feibai turned around and left his group, causing several waves of students around the ramp to look at Cheng Ran in shock.
Cheng Ran had no choice but to shrug at the gazes around him to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Little brat..."
