At seven o'clock in the evening, Zhu Yun arrived home with her father. It happened that just after getting out of the car, I ran into Jiang Lin's mother and son. Jiang Lin and Zhu Guangyi entered the house after greeting each other. Zhu Yun and Wang Yuxuan followed behind.
"School just ended?" he asked her.
"Um."
As soon as the door opened, the heat and the aroma of food overflowed, and Zhu Yun's mother greeted them warmly.
"What a coincidence." My mother said in surprise, "It happened to me!"
"That's right." Jiang Lin also said, "What a coincidence."
Jiang Lin and her mother are good friends, and they can't finish talking when they meet. Zhu Yun was changing shoes at the door, when she heard her mother say, "Why does it feel like you are getting younger and younger."
Jiang Lin said politely: "What are you young, in your fifties, you are already an old lady."
"Who will believe you when you say you are fifty." The mother patted Jiang Lin on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's better for the child to live up to his expectations. You don't have to worry about the family at all. The longer you live, the younger you will be."
Jiang Lin also laughed, turned her head and said to Wang Yuxuan, "Say hello to your Aunt Liu, why are you standing there?"
Wang Yuxuan smiled wryly: "What if we don't stand still, we can't get in if you're stuck here."
Jiang Lin thumped him, "Baby bear, you choked on me as soon as you returned home."
Wang Yuxuan turned to greet Zhu Yun's mother: "Hello, Aunt Liu."
"Hello, hello, come in."
The meal has been prepared, eat directly.
Zhu Yun went back to the room to change clothes first, then went to the bathroom, and met Wang Yuxuan at the door, both of them paused.
Wang Yuxuan turned sideways.
"Lady first."
"Thanks."
Zhu Yun washed her hands and came to the restaurant. Her mother was having a heated discussion with Jiang Lin. When she saw Zhu Yun, she waved.
"Come here quickly and have a good chat with your Aunt Jiang."
Jiang Lin waved her hand: "It's useless to talk to me, talk to Xiaoyu. How long has it been since you two met, let me calculate..."
Mother replied: "It's been almost six years, I haven't seen Xiaoyu since he went abroad."
"Oh, that's right, how time flies, Zhu Yun has become a big girl, so good."
"Be good." Mother smiled and glanced at Zhu Yun, "I have a lot of ideas."
Zhu Yun: "..."
Wang Yuxuan came and was arranged by his mother to be beside Zhu Yun.
Zhu Yun was distracted by something, and held the rice bowl for a long time without swallowing a few mouthfuls.
"Not hungry? Still losing weight? Why do you eat so little?" Wang Yuxuan asked in a low voice.
"No, you eat yours."
"I'm so hungry." Wang Yuxuan ate quickly, finishing a bowl of rice in the blink of an eye, and said, "Aunt Liu's cooking is still so delicious."
When the mother across the table heard this, she pursed her lips and smiled.
"Xiaoyu is still good, eat more, auntie has done a lot." She said to Zhu Yun again, "You can talk to brother Xiaoyu later, this is a real high-achieving student who has received a full scholarship. Xiaoyu, I I heard from your mother that you can stay in school after graduation?"
Wang Yuxuan said weakly: "Can you believe what my mother said?"
Jiang Lin pointed at him and said to Zhu Yun's mother, "Look at this child, he's holding back everything, but he doesn't say anything." She said to her son, "What are you afraid of, there are no outsiders here."
"It's only by yourself that you have to tell the truth. If it were an outsider, I would have blown it up."
Zhu Yun's mother was amused by Wang Yuxuan.
Zhu Yun silently watched them throw the ball to each other sentence by sentence.
I really want to get off the table... Zhu Yun glanced at Wang Yuxuan and asked in her heart, when will you be able to finish eating.
Wang Yuxuan seemed to have felt Zhu Yun's inner call. After the second bowl of rice, he put the tableware away, rubbed his stomach, and said, "It's good. Aunt Liu, let's finish eating. Let's go down first. You can talk slowly."
Mother greeted Zhu Yun and said, "Take Brother Xiaoyu for a walk and communicate more."
Zhu Yun got up and led Wang Yuxuan upstairs. Behind her, her mother was still chatting with Jiang Lin: "I also have an idea to send her to study abroad to see the world. To be honest, this domestic school is real..."
On the second floor, the sound subsided.
Zhu Yun pushed open the door, and Wang Yuxuan said behind him, "Is this your room?"
"Um."
"It's so neat."
"No one lives there, so it must be tidy."
Wang Yuxuan said: "That's different. The hotel is also tidy, but it's deserted. It seems that the owner has a good living habit here."
Zhu Yun heheed twice, then turned her head and said, "Don't talk like it's your first time here."
Wang Yuxuan also laughed.
"Isn't it revisiting the old place, looking for something new?"
Wang Yuxuan is five years older than Zhu Yun, because the two mothers are acquainted. They have known each other since childhood. Wang Yuxuan often brags to Zhu Yun, saying that he held Zhu Yun who was a baby when he was a child, and Zhu Yun would not believe it.
It's a pity that since going to school, everyone has focused on their studies and hasn't had much contact with each other.
Zhu Yun took a glass of water for Wang Yuxuan, and the two sat on the small sofa and chatted.
"Don't ask me something?" Wang Yuxuan said, "How did Auntie tell you just now?"
Zhu Yun took out the computer from her bag and said, "Is the moon round abroad?"
Wang Yuxuan snapped: "It's really perfunctory."
Zhu Yun turned on the phone, and Wang Yuxuan pouted: "Chatting with me is so boring, and I have to go online to have fun."
"...No, I'll just check my mail."
In fact, Zhu Yun didn't want to check emails, but it seemed like she had formed a habit of turning on the computer whenever she was free.
Wang Yuxuan watched from the side, and Zhu Yun had to symbolically log in to the mailbox. Unexpectedly, there was an email from the Academic Affairs Office, notifying that the final grades had come out.
"Yoyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" Wang Yuxuan said excitedly, "The results are out, go and have a look!"
"..."
Zhu Yun looked at Wang Yuxuan speechlessly.
Wang Yuxuan urged her: "Look quickly."
Zhu Yun logged onto the educational affairs website and pulled out the final grades.
Wang Yuxuan was more caring than her, so he leaned over, took a quick look, and exclaimed, "It's okay, sister Zhu, it's really not a cover, Keke is so high! Hurry up and open the comprehensive ranking, let me look at the current status of domestic colleges and universities. what level."
After he finished speaking, the page did not jump for a long time.
"Sister Zhu?"
Wang Yuxuan turned his head just in time to see Zhu Yun's smile.
Of course, she wasn't smiling at him.
She smiled at a certain column of scores on the report card.
"Basic Principles of Marxism" final paper, 97 points.
Three points less, it doesn't matter, after all, the world is not perfect.
In her mind, the face of a champion shining under the cold light appeared in her mind, and her smile became stronger.
When she recovered, she found Wang Yuxuan looking at her in a daze.
She asked: "What?"
Wang Yuxuan shook his head, "It's nothing." He looked away at the bookcase next to him, but turned back quickly.
"Sister Zhu."
"Um?"
"Can I praise you?"
"Praise."
"I'm afraid you'll be proud."
"Then stop talking."
"But I can't help it."
"..."
Zhu Yun buttoned up the computer.
Wang Yuxuan suddenly said: "You have become beautiful."
Zhu Yun paused, then raised her eyebrows, "Really?"
Wang Yuxuan: "Look, I said I was afraid that you would be proud."
Zhu Yun shrugged, Wang Yuxuan stopped joking and asked, "Aunt Liu wants you to go abroad, what do you think?"
"I haven't thought about it yet."
"It will be too late to think about it now. If you have a plan, you must prepare as soon as possible. Don't be biased, but professional courses should be outstanding. It is best to publish articles in some important journals. I have some channels for this. If you need it, I can help you."
Zhu Yun scratched her face, "I'm not a theoretical school, and I don't like to make articles."
"Practice is fine too. Participate in more large-scale competitions, the more activities the better." Wang Yuxuan said, "I'm in finance, so I don't know much about your computers, but it's pretty much the same when I think about it. When I go back to help you—"
"Stop." Zhu Yun reminded him, "I haven't finished my freshman year yet..."
Wang Yuxuan looked at her and smiled.
"That's right, I'm still a child. But you still have to plan as soon as possible. Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared."
You can stay in school as a political education teacher.
"Is living abroad hard?" Zhu Yun tried to change the subject.
Wang Yuxuan shook his head and said thoughtfully: "It's not hard to recognize yourself."
"What's the meaning?"
Wang Yuxuan said: "It's easy to get lost in the glamorous world outside. Many people give up on themselves and waste time pursuing lives that don't belong to them. I have been out for almost six years and have seen too many people like this."
"But there is no way." He added, "There are few foreign compatriots. In order to integrate into the new society and gain recognition, we must give up something. From small habits to large values. To be honest with you, I am enduring it now. "
Zhu Yun: "What do you endure?"
Wang Yuxuan half-jokingly said: "Resist not adding English to the conversation."
Zhu Yun smiled.
At half past nine, Jiang Lin called Wang Yuxuan.
"Ready to go!"
Mother and Jiang Lin made an appointment for the next gathering, the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
"It's hard to go home and give Xiaoyu a lot of supplements, and he looks thinner." The mother sent someone to the gate of the courtyard, and said, "Xiaoyu, have you left your contact information with Zhu Yun?"
Wang Yuxuan: "We must stay."
"In the future, if she doesn't understand anything, I'll ask you to help me. Don't feel annoyed."
Wang Yuxuan grinned and looked at Zhu Yun.
"I just like to annoy you, remember to annoy me hard, sister Zhu!"
Zhu Yun: "..."
Sending people away, mother took Zhu Yun's hand.
"Oh, but I'm thinking badly about my mother, come into the house quickly."
Before her mother had a heart-to-heart talk with her, Zhu Yun went upstairs to bring the computer.
"Mom, look."
In the final report card, Zhu Yun got full marks in all four subjects, ranking second in the class overall.
The mother was overjoyed and asked her father to come too.
"Look at your child's final grades."
Zhu Guangyi glanced at it, and said calmly, "That's right, there is still room for improvement."
Zhu Yun hummed.
The mother pushed the father, "Don't put too much pressure on the child!"
The report card is simply a magic talisman. With it, the conversation goes smoothly.
"You go to bed early. Mom will take you to the mall to buy clothes tomorrow morning. It will be Chinese New Year soon, and you came back too late."
Zhu Yun went back to her room and took a shower.
She tossed and turned on the bed, unable to fall asleep, and finally took out her phone and sent a text message to Li Xun.
The content is very concise, in one sentence—
"I'm Max Ninety-Seven."
A few seconds later, Li Xun replied—
"Why are you taller than me?"
Zhu Yun smiled.
She didn't reply, but buried her face in the soft pillow, afraid of laughing too loudly.
On the top of the moon, the tenderness of watching people is like water.
