"The first sentence of 'The autumn waters are long and the sky is the same color'." Chu Mian took a set of ancient poems and essays to summarize and test Yu Ran, and wrote silently, "The last sentence of 'A reed is like'."
Yu Ran frantically wrote, and Chu Mian read the beginning of each sentence, and he could write down the words that followed without hesitation, and his proficiency was not what it used to be.
When he finished fifty sentences silently, his wrists were a little sore. Chu Mian took the paper and checked it carefully, and found that everything was correct, including the rare characters in it.
"Good, keep it up."
Yu Ran asked, "What about the reward?"
"What reward?" Chu Mian chuckled, "You deserve it, right?"
"Who says you can write by dictation? I'm talking about two models. Once I say something, it's hard to follow. If I say four hundred and five in the exam, it's four hundred and five, no more, no less." Yu Ran said that his score was a fluke, "how accurate, It's just destiny."
"Okay." Chu Mian hugged him, "I owe the reward first, and I will choose it for you after the exam."
"No gift, just let me do whatever I want for a day." Yu Ran whispered on Chu Mian's shoulder, "I want to defile a good woman."
Chu Mian's arm slowly slipped from Yu Ran's shoulder, and she clasped his waist tightly, with a hint of arrogance in her eyes, "If you have the ability, try it."
Yu Ran laughed twice, kissed Chu Mian's side face, and said, "Let go of me, I'm going to study."
The college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, and Yu Ran's enthusiasm for studying only increases. After all, his basic score is not high, and he does not pursue difficult problems. As long as he does the basics correctly, he can be 30 to 40 times higher than the annual cultural score line of CAFA, which makes him not under much psychological pressure.
Chu Mian's grade two in the second model was the seventh in the city's science department. Once the score came out, all the students in the school would pay homage to her. However, Chu Mian didn't feel very happy, and calmly stuffed the test paper into the drawer, and continued to do the previous year's college entrance examination paper.
"Because the big questions of all subjects are difficult and tricky, it is not too much to say that the person who wrote the questions is hurting our confidence." Chu Mian told Yu Ran, "The style of the Ronggang college entrance examination questions in the past five years is very fixed. From the perspective of the law, This year should be a relatively simple paper, so it is still more reference."
Yu Ran immediately showed admiration in his eyes. In his opinion, there is no difference in the test papers of each year. He did not expect that top students like Chu Mian could sum up the rules.
"You can take seventh place in such a difficult question, let alone easy ones."
Chu Mian shook her head, "The simpler the questions, the more difficult the competition for the top ten will be. There won't be so many problems in the real college entrance examination, so my advantage will become smaller."
Yu Ranqing couldn't help sighing for him, and then quickly covered her mouth, fearing that her worry would affect Chu Mian's mood.
After school, Yu Ran invited friends from other classes to eat watermelon smoothies. It was refreshing and sweet, and it was most suitable for the mildly hot weather. He also ordered two takeaways by the way, and delivered them to Chu Mian and Chu Heng.
Since the beginning of summer, the temperature has not been unbearably hot, and it often rains in Ronggang, which is refreshing and pleasant. The days of high school seniors are passed in a fast pace, and almost everyone is nervous, trying their best to improve their grades in the last few weeks.
Finally, the countdown on the blackboard turned into single digits.
"Baa baa, you bring this little comb, isn't it taking graduation photos today?"
Before Chu Mian went out, Chu Heng stuffed two small items into her pocket, a comb and a mirror, and her favorite Yugui dog was printed on it. No matter how you look at the items, they seem to belong to a girl, Chu Mian bluntly refuses.
"Graduation photos are very precious! And Yu Ran is here, your boyfriend has to take a photo with him with the best appearance."
Chu Mian retorted, "I always look the best."
"But the hair is always messy sometimes."
"Just grab it with your hands." Chu Mian put the things on the shoe cabinet, picked up her schoolbag and was about to leave, remembering that Yu Ran sent a text message last night asking him to bring an extra summer school uniform, and went back to get it.
This is their last week of class at Chengjun Middle School. All the question types have been reviewed. The teachers no longer lecture, but sit in front of the classroom or in the office and wait for students to ask questions at any time.
In order to ease the tension before the college entrance examination, the students all brought an extra summer school uniform today, and signed each other on the white cloth as the most precious souvenir of high school.
"Let me see who else hasn't signed." Fang Zhao looked at the white T-shirt with messy handwriting, "Oh, I forgot about Yu Ran, I thought I was the first to ask him to write."
Yu Ran had just finished drawing a stick figure for the monitor, and turned to Fang Zhao and said, "It's not like the two of us will disappear in the future, what should I write for you? I didn't ask Chu Mian to write."
"But I don't take the Beijing exam." Fang Zhao turned down his voice and handed over his clothes, "Let's write."
"There's not enough space here. I have big characters, so I'd better write on your body." Yu Ran picked up the marker pen and began to write on Fang Zhao's chest.
Fang Zhao helped him open his clothes with both hands, deliberately turned his face away, and was not in a hurry to read the specific content. From the corner of his eye, he noticed that Yu Ran looked very serious and meticulous, and he should be sincerely writing down what he hadn't said in the past three years.
"Okay." Yu Ran breathed a sigh of relief, and capped the pen.
Fang Zhao thought, "Even if you read the most touching words, you can't shed tears." Looking down, Yu Ran drew two circles on the chest of his school uniform, and added a "·" in the center of the circles.
As expected of being the sixth art student at Central Academy of Arts, I still remember to draw shadows, which made the two black lines on the chest more plump and round.
The students were all leaving messages to each other at this time, when they suddenly heard the door of the classroom being opened roughly, they looked at the same time, and saw Yu Ran who was fleeing, and Fang Zhao who was chasing after him.
In the third year of high school, there were very few scenes of boys playing and fighting in the corridors. Everyone filtered out their impetuousness and suppressed their instincts. The activity of exchanging messages today finally made this classroom, which had been filled with laughter for three years, lively again.
Chu Mian carefully wrote a few words for everyone. Although he was not familiar with most of them, he had been with them for so long and had a fixed impression of everyone.
"You've been looking outside since just now, what's there?" Chu Mian raised her head and asked Ye Xi.
"Ah? Are you talking about me?"
"Ok."
"I'm looking at the statue." Ye Xi looked out the window, "Actually, I've always... always wanted to ride on it."
There was slight confusion in Chu Mian's eyes, but she still gave her support: "Then go and try, I can help you watch the wind."
Ye Xi was taken aback, smiled and shook her head, "No, no, no, I'm just thinking about it."
"If you don't try now, you won't have a chance in the future." Chu Mian said, "Don't you regret it?"
"Uh... even if I didn't do such an embarrassing behavior, I wouldn't regret it."
Teacher Bai told everyone today that if there is any unfulfilled wish in the past three years, you can do it, and don't let your high school leave regrets. Many students gave her feedback, such as "I regret that I rejected other people's confession in the first year of high school", "I have never won the first place in my favorite subject", and "It would be great if I could choose liberal arts, but unfortunately my parents won't let me" "I lost fifty yuan and haven't found it yet."
"I have never cheated since I was a child, and I have always wanted to know what it feels like to fight wits and courage with the invigilator."
"Give it a try during your college entrance examination." Others answered from the side, and the atmosphere in the classroom was cheerful.
Yu Ran escaped Fang Zhao's pursuit, ran back panting, and told everyone, "It's raining a little outside."
Everyone looked out the window, and the sky was really dark, and there were just scattered water droplets on the steps outside.
"Then will we still take graduation photos today?" The students became worried, "If we don't take pictures, we'll wait until tomorrow? The rain is quite light, so why don't we just make it a point to get drenched?"
The weather is not beautiful, and when it was time to go out to assemble, all the teachers and students in the third grade could only stay in the classroom. The messages and signatures are almost exchanged, and everyone puts away their thoughts and concentrates on reviewing.
Yu Ran fell on Chu Mian's shoulder, and looked at the sky outside with his mind free, watching it gradually turn from light gray to bright again.
"Baa, do you have any regrets in high school?"
"No." Chu Mian said.
"very perfect?"
"No. It's just that those flaws are not worth mentioning, and they don't constitute 'regrets'." Chu Mian turned her face away, kissed Yu Ran's hair softly, and breathed the scent of camellias. Tranquil and quiet, it doesn't match her temperament, but Chu Mian still focuses on it.
Yu Ran raised one hand above his head, felt Chu Mian's nose and cheeks intuitively, and said, "Me too, even if I have regrets, it will be offset by your greatest luck."
"I let you say all the good things." Chu Mian took Yu Ran's extended hand, put his fingertips on his lips, and bit gently.
The drizzle in early summer didn't last long, as if the sky had played a little prank. Under the leadership of the teacher, the classes of the third year of senior high school quickly left the classroom and went to the playground to gather.
The stage for taking photos has not been set up yet, and the students take photos with others with their mobile phones while waiting. In this matter, Yu Ran is especially popular. Not only does he pose positively, but he also takes the initiative to help girls hold up their mobile phones.
"It's for you." The squad leader walked over to Xue Hua and handed Yu Ran a red rope.
The red rope symbolizes luck. Xiang Xuehua had long wanted to weave a bracelet for each of the students in the class, but due to time constraints, she only had time to tie simple knots.
Yu Ran took it in surprise, "Thank you!"
After the rain stopped, the evening sun shone on the earth again, as if it had been washed, showing a strong orange color, but not scorching hot. Hundreds of students gathered in the teaching downstairs, it was very lively.
Just at this time, a girl suddenly shouted from a window upstairs: "Seniors and sisters, come on for the college entrance examination!"
Many people's voices stopped abruptly, and they subconsciously followed the prestige, which was the direction of the first grade.
Every Tuesday afternoon, the teachers of senior one and senior two have to go to a meeting, so most of the classes are doing self-study. Seeing the grades who are about to take the college entrance examination taking graduation photos below, someone came up with the idea of supporting them and shouted out loudly.
The lower grade students were bored, and under the influence of that girl, many people also kneeled by the window to cheer for the senior senior students downstairs.
All of a sudden, there were cheers from upstairs one after another. Amidst the noise, Yu Ran heard someone calling his name loudly.
"Yu Ran!"
"Ah?" Yu Ran raised his head in doubt, trying to find the owner of the voice, "Where is it?"
Before he found it, the other party continued to shout at him: "You must pass the exam!"
Yu Ran couldn't help laughing, although he didn't see the girl in time, he still raised his arms towards the teaching building and responded: "I will!"
Before he dropped his arm, Chu Mian suddenly grabbed his wrist.
"Yu Ran, turn your head." Chu Mian's voice was rare and hurried, pulling Yu Ran with very little force.
Yu Ran turned around according to his instructions, and the moment he looked up, he couldn't help shouting.
There are still undried water droplets in the clear air after the rain. After being irradiated by the sun, two arch bridge-shaped rainbows are formed inside and outside. Thin as a ribbon, the halo is soft, the color is not bright, but it is very close to the ground, which can bring a lot of visual impact to people.
Yu Ran's call just now attracted many people's attention, so the teachers and students in the campus raised their heads in amazement one after another.
"It's the first time I've seen it in seventeen years! It's so big!" Yu Ran couldn't help laughing because the scene in front of him was so pleasantly surprised, "It seems that Skittles can really fall out."
"There are two, do you see them? The outer one is Ni, and the inner one is rainbow." Chu Mian has never seen such a huge double rainbow, which is incomparably beautiful, as if it is within reach.
Everyone believes that the neon sign indicates the success of the college entrance examination.
The stage for taking graduation photos has been set up, and the mascots of "Zizi Family" are placed on both sides of the stage. The students put on their black school uniform jackets, and each class took turns to take photos with the grade teachers.
"You said that if we hold hands, will we be photographed?" Yu Ran asked in a low voice.
Chu Mian held her hand casually and said, "Probably not, the last row is blocked by them."
Yu Ran let out an "oh". However, before the photographer pressed the shutter, he and Chu Mian suddenly clasped their fingers together, raised their hands high, and showed them to the camera with a smile.
Chu Mian hadn't reacted yet, and neither had the photographer, so he just let the picture freeze at this moment—the two boys holding hands, flaunting their love brazenly under the neon lights.
In the graduation photo, everyone is smiling. In order to avoid emotional fluctuations before the college entrance examination, everyone tacitly did not say anything sensational or sad, as if after today, they can still enter the classroom on time in the morning, have breakfast, make up homework, and do hygiene... Some teachers couldn't help but leave early Tears, I can only hide in the corridor alone, wipe it clean and come out to take a photo.
According to the seniors of the previous class, there will be a sentence printed on the back of each graduation photo of Chengjun Middle School: "Maybe we will never see each other again, but we must remember that we have everything to talk about right now."
The sunny, evening campus has the best summer.
Starting tomorrow is a short holiday for three days before the exam. After school, Yu bought two cups of iced sour plum soup and roasted quail eggs, and gave them to Chu Mian. The two walked down the street while eating.
Chu Mian glanced at the red rope on Yu Ran's wrist, and asked, "Why is there a peach basket on your rope?"
Yu Ran looked up, "Huh? You don't have one."
"No, it seems like none of us have one." Chu Mian took out her own and said, "The squad leader just hung it up for you."
"Wow, why? I see... The monitor thinks that I have the worst grades, so he wants me to be lucky!" Yu Ran asked and answered by himself, firmly believing in his own deduction. Looking up, Chu Mian suddenly smiled twice.
"What are you happy about?"
"It's okay." Chu Mian said, put her arms around Yu Ran's shoulders, and patted his head.
Every time this intimate gesture occurs, Yu Ran knows that Chu Mian will helplessly call him a "Muggle" next time. But after waiting for a while, Chu Mian didn't say anything this time, but just hugged him quietly.
"Are you going to review these three days?" Yu Ran asked.
"Well, review the basics, and don't read anything else." Chu Mian tugged Yu Ran's earlobe, "You are the same, don't take it lightly, let your brother stay away from you, don't affect you."
Yu Ran laughed loudly: "Yu Jin still has to take the high school entrance examination, so he has no time to talk to me."
"Where's the barcode on the admission ticket? Did you keep it just now?"
"Don't worry, I put everything in the file bag you gave me, and I won't lose it." Yu Ran held up the sour plum soup and clinked glasses with him, "Forget about me during your three-day review, don't contact me, Even if you miss me, I won't answer your call."
Chu Mian pretended not to hear, and said nothing, but said in her heart, "I want to fight".
The two seemed to have a telepathic connection, Yu Ran thought for a while and added: "Maybe it's better once a day."
"Okay." Chu Mian simply agreed this time.
"Hey, why didn't you ask me to sign for you when you signed the autograph today? I've already figured out the content of the message for you, just that three thousand, just something..."
Chu Mian was just about to tell him it was "Three thousand beauties in the weak water, just take one scoop", but Yu Ran suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "There are three thousand beauties in the harem, I will only prostitute you!"
Chu Mian licked her lips, frowned and asked, "Where did you get the harem three thousand?"
"Let me give you an example." Yu Ran grinned and showed his white teeth, "If I were the emperor, I would directly promote you from a civilian girl to a queen, and then you would not go to court every day, but only run to your palace."
The corners of Chu Mian's lips rose, and she laughed angrily, "Mr. Hun."
They walked across the zebra crossing calmly with their schoolbags on their backs, their moods were as usual, and they walked side by side through an extraordinary day before high school graduation.
