The next day, Lu Jinnan called Lu Yaoshan and Meng Li together.
It is unknown what they talked about, but Lu Yaoshan flew to California that afternoon. A week later, Lu Jinnan also returned to Canada.
The divorce procedure was lengthy and complicated, and it took half a year before Meng Li officially told Lu Xiao the news. Lu Yaoshan gave her Jiulong's house, but the one next door was still unsold, just vacant.
Ye Cheng came over to play occasionally, and she could still see a nanny cleaning inside.
For many people, the second semester of the second year of high school is like a fleeting moment, as if they have reached the third year of high school in the blink of an eye.
Piles of test papers accompanied by moss growing wildly outside the window turned to the last early summer of high school.
After the one-model exam, the atmosphere of the whole class was suppressed to the bottom.
This time the simulation paper used joint school questions, and the sudden increase in difficulty directly overwhelmed the students of No. 13 Middle School. Except for Ye Cheng, no one in the 20th class reached the first line last year.
When I used to do my own school questions, everyone didn't think it was difficult. Only now did I realize that the so-called gap cannot be filled in a day or two. Although Xu Chao repeatedly emphasized that the questions of the mock exam this time were difficult and encouraged everyone not to be discouraged, the atmosphere in the class was still visibly sluggish.
The green plants outside the window sprouted new shoots, and there was a hint of warmth in the air.
Lu Xiao turned the pen, writing and drawing on the draft paper.
This time, he was picked out by Xu Chaodan and praised. He jumped from the middle and lower reaches of the last semester to the top ten in the class, and his total score was only 40 points away from the first line.
The class was very quiet, so quiet that it didn't seem like get out of class time at all.
Only Jiang Jin and another art examinee's seats were vacant, and the two asked for leave to attend an art training class.
Li Junxiao walked over floatingly and said, "Brother Xiao, do you still have to go to the gymnasium for the next physical education class?"
The dark circles under his eyes are thick, almost reaching the corners of his mouth.
"Well, you can go." Lu Xiao got up, took the book, and called everyone to gather.
Everyone stood up slowly, all carrying textbooks or materials in their hands.
Since the third year of high school, almost every physical education class has given them free activities, which is actually to read books in another place. The gymnasium is indoors, so it is very suitable to find a corner to sit and recite classical Chinese.
"Where's Brother Cheng, isn't he going to class?" Li Junxiao looked at the empty seat next to him and asked.
Lu Xiao said: "Old Xu is looking for him, I guess he won't go."
Before leaving, he filled Ye Cheng's water glass and put refreshing mints on the table before leaving the classroom.
In the office, Xu Chao finished talking and drank half a cup of tea thirstily.
"That's it for today. On Friday, you go up to mobilize and improve the morale of the class." He said to Ye Cheng, "These kids have been serious all year, don't get discouraged at the last moment, Not worth it."
Ye Cheng nodded, "Understood, teacher."
Xu Chao said again: "Are you sure you want to apply for A University? Have you discussed with your family which major to apply for?"
Ye Cheng replied: "If there is no accident, it should be clinical medicine."
It is only a few months before the college entrance examination, only he still looks calm and relaxed.
Looking at the whole school, people in the same situation as him either decided to go abroad or gave up the college entrance examination.
Xu Chao said: "This time the difficulty is so great, you still scored 430 points in the test, which is one of the best in the attached high school. I suggest you try the ace major of University A. As far as I know, their school's economics class is the first in the country. one."
Ye Cheng naturally knows that the trump card of University A is economics, and he went to the School of Economics in his previous life.
"I still want to try clinical practice." He said politely but firmly.
Xu Chao explained: "Well, this mainly depends on the wishes of you and your family, but after the college entrance examination is over, their admissions office may also persuade you to go to the school. Hahahaha, speaking of it, you are my first No matter what you bring to the students who can pass the exam, the teacher will take you as the pride of your life."
Ye Cheng smiled humbly.
After he came out of the office, he didn't want to go to the gymnasium again, and walked lazily to the classroom.
In fact, it would be a lie to say that he was not nervous, he just seemed less concerned on the surface. When estimating the score this time, he originally thought that he could score 436 points, but the uncontrollable factors of Chinese were still beyond his expected range.
He had never been through the college entrance examination in his previous life, so he couldn't feel such tension. At that time, there were only a handful of people in the attached middle school who actually took the college entrance examination, so there was no atmosphere that a senior year should have.
Class 20 has improved a lot this year, directly from the bottom one to the middle of the grade.
For such a class, the atmosphere of the college entrance examination is the heaviest, and the pressure is the most obvious.
Those students who could only repeat their studies can now go to junior colleges; students who could only go to junior colleges can now take a second course;
People are greedy animals, and everyone hopes that they will do better in the exam.
No matter how bad a student is, as long as a certain exam arouses a certain desire in his heart, he doesn't want to go back to the days when he was at the bottom.
At Ye Cheng's level, it may be even more difficult to score one point than ten points for them. His pressure is like the position at the top of the pyramid. Although it will not force him to collapse, it is the most difficult and irritating not to be able to go to the next level.
When he got to the back door, he heard a burst of sobbing from the classroom.
It was a girl's voice, not crying loudly but quite depressed.
Ye Cheng paused, and saw that the man was Tan Xiaoqi's deskmate, Ge Yun.
Just as he was about to retract his legs, he accidentally touched the door frame and made a noise.
Ge Yun raised his head and turned around, his eyes were swollen like something.
Ye Cheng was a little embarrassed, so she had to ask, "Are you okay?"
When Ge Yun saw him, he seemed to remember something, and his expression became even more sad. She shed tears, tried to wipe her face and said, "It's okay..."
It didn't look like anything was going to happen, Ye Cheng took a pack of toilet paper from her desk, walked over and handed it to her: "What happened?"
"Thank you." Ge Yun took the tissue, wiped away his tears and said, "It's nothing, I was just scolded by the teacher."
"Which teacher, why did you scold you?" Ye Cheng sat down beside her.
Ge Yun said in a nasal voice: "Xu Jie, I have a question about physics, I just asked him about it. I still couldn't understand him after he said it several times, and then he asked me to repeat it. If I couldn't say it, he got angry I said that several students were waiting in line to ask him, I was wasting time on purpose."
In the science college entrance examination, physics needs to be graded, and it is also one of the most important sub-subjects besides language and mathematics. Xu Jie's door was often crowded with people, and students from several classes flocked to ask him questions. He was also easily irritable, and it was inevitable that his tone would be a little rushed.
Most of the students in the third year of high school are very fragile, especially the introverted girls like Ge Yun.
She sniffed and said, "Several people in our class have been scolded. Does he have any prejudice against us? Why only scold our class? And the lectures are so fast that we can't keep up."
Ye Cheng said: "Don't cry, let me see which questions you don't know."
Ge Yun said gratefully: "Thank you, monitor, won't I waste your time?"
Ye Cheng's head was a little confused, and she couldn't learn it at the moment, so she stretched out her hand and said, "No, bring it."
As soon as he looked at the title, he knew what Ge Yun didn't understand, so he started to cut in from what she couldn't understand. A few minutes later, Ge Yun exclaimed: "If Xu Jie asked me to use this method, I would have understood it a long time ago! Sure enough, the monitor knows me best, and he makes me confused."
During the lecture, the unlucky ones who had been scolded in the class all came back, and came over to take the class one after another.
Everyone complained,
"Good guy, he just said which formula to use."
"That's right, I blame us for being stupid if I can't explain it clearly, shit!"
"Maybe it's because he is the head teacher of Class 17. He thinks that if he teaches us one more question, they will be passed in the next exam." Someone said bitterly.
Ye Cheng was stunned by this sentence, he thought for a moment, and said to a few people: "I will stay 20 minutes longer for self-study in the future, if you have any questions that you don't know, just ask me, the teacher is also very busy after all. .”
Ge Yun was so happy that he almost jumped up, "Really? Can we really ask you?"
"Oh my god, monitor, you are a god! Damn, I love you so much!!"
"But if you stay for an extra twenty minutes, won't it be very hard? Woohoo, it doesn't matter if you don't have to."
Ye Cheng said lightly: "It's okay, you can tell them in class later."
Everyone cheered.
What that person said made Ye Cheng feel a little bit emotional. If he made one less mistake, his total score would be greatly improved. If he helps these people save one wrong question, it may be the gap between the vocational high school and the second school.
Most people only take the college entrance examination once, unlike his life where he can do it all over again. Those regrets have been made up, and he also wants to try to make up for the regrets of others.
The news quickly spread in class 20 and even the third grade.
Xu Chao directly said in class that he would reward Ye Cheng with 1,000 yuan for every book in his class, and in the end, no matter what the result was, he would give Ye Cheng an extra red envelope. And tell everyone to keep quiet.
The atmosphere of the class is like the pot of green plants outside the window, which instantly changes from lifeless to luxuriant, as if it has been given a shot in the arm.
However, while everyone was queuing up to find Ye Cheng in the evening self-study, they also got the debuff of "The First Brother's Gaze".
Whenever someone comes to ask a question, Lu Xiao will definitely stare at him from the moment he sits down, until he leaves tremblingly.
Ye Cheng stayed until what time to go home, and he got up at what time. Even after finishing his homework and sitting on his seat to play with his mobile phone, he had to wait for him to go back together.
Because school was delayed by 20 minutes, Meng Li suggested that she and the driver come to pick them up.
It was fine for a few days, but over time, this incident attracted Xu Chao's attention.
One day when he was at the back door, he saw a person walking away after asking Ye Cheng's question. Lu Xiao pinched Ye Cheng's ear punitively, and whispered, "Why were you smiling at him just now?"
Since there were almost no one in the class and the surrounding was very quiet, Xu Chao could hear his voice clearly.
What shocked him the most was that when Lu Xiao pinched Ye Cheng's ears, the latter didn't even move or resist, as if he was used to such an intimate gesture.
"Which eye of yours saw me smile?" Ye Cheng gave him a sideways look.
Lu Xiao lowered her face and said, "I saw it with both eyes, you admit it, you just like the little boy."
"Fart, you retarded."
"Who do you blame for being mentally retarded?"
"I call you retarded."
Xu Chao opened his mouth wide.
I don't know why, although the conversation between the two was just a bickering between boys, it sounded very ambiguous.
That kind of strange pull seemed to not allow a third person to intervene.
Xu Chao looked at the two teenagers with a frown, and was suddenly patted by a hand from behind.
He turned around, and the soft smell of perfume came to his face.
"Teacher, what are you doing?" A beautiful woman appeared behind him and asked him with a smile.
Xu Chao thought for a long time before realizing that this was Lu Xiao's mother.
He hurriedly said: "Hello, that, I am..."
Meng Li's eyes fell on the classroom behind him, Lu Xiao pulled Ye Cheng's arm, and he slapped him on the back of the hand.
Meng Li smiled and said, "It's impolite to peek at students, can you take a moment to talk?"
Xu Chao said awkwardly: "It's convenient, this way please."
