Not long after school started, Teacher Ke had a special conversation with You Yu.
“Regarding the qualifications for admission, the teacher briefly mentioned to you last time. What do you think now? If you want to apply, then you must be able to pass it. Your grades in the first and second grades of high school and the competition awards are enough. You passed the review. The teacher herself is more inclined to let you be recommended. Your grades have always been stable, and you can perform well on the exam. You don’t need to take the college entrance examination. It is safer if you prepare to apply, then we would start preparing now. “
After listening to her, You Yu slowly shook her head, “Teacher, I will not apply for a recommendation.”
Teacher Ke did not expect that she would refuse. The two top universities had very high qualifications and strict audits. In the past, many students wanted to be recommended but were beaten down. She would bet there when she came to You Yu. Why did she not want to?
Without rushing to persuade, Teacher Ke asked calmly, “What do you think, tell the teacher?”
She knew that You Yu had always had her ideas. Although she was only a teenager, she usually looked good at talking. She knows what she knows. She was very firm in life and work. If it were not like this, she could not overcome difficulties along the way. She went to school here and demanded herself strictly. If she was unwilling, there must be a reason.
You Yu had a reason, but part of it could not be discussed with Teacher Ke.
She said: “I haven’t chosen the university I want to go to. Maybe it will not be the two top universities mentioned by the teacher. I think other schools are also very good, mainly depending on the major I want to go to. And the third year of high school is also for me. It’s important to the surrounding friends. I want to finish the third year of high school with them and take the college entrance examination together. “
She had been thinking about this very early. Chi Tang may not be admitted to the same school as her, but even if it couldn’t be the same school, she couldn’t be too far away from her, preferably in an adjacent school. In this way, there was still a year to go, and it depended on Chi Tang’s thinking. She couldn’t decide now.
The third year of high school was so important that she wanted to help her friends. Besides Chi Tang, there are also the Wei sisters. She wanted to take the college entrance examination with them. This was the truth. Maybe after going to university, after graduation, she would go further and further away, and the contact with friends would gradually decrease, so now she must cherish this year.
As Teacher Ke said at the beginning of school, the third year of high school should be their coming-of-age gift to them. For her, spending time with friends and loved ones and helping them are her gifts to herself.
You Yu did not share these detailed thoughts with others. Although Teacher Ke felt it was a pity, she refused, and eventually respected her wishes. She repeatedly told her that she couldn’t relax in her third year of high school and that she had to keep working hard.
Learning was painful. It was painful to constantly recognize one’s deficiencies, and learning was the process of constantly exposing one’s deficiencies.
In this compact study of life, there are not only hardships but also flashing tiny happy moments. It may be an evening of self-study. Everyone sings together; it could be the fruit and candy, an orange or a milk candy that Teacher Ke unexpectedly came to distribute; it could be a movie that the English teacher secretly played in English class…
For You Yu and Chi Tang, this tiny happiness may be more specific and private.
Occasionally, the eyes met inadvertently during class; the same song she listened to in the evening; the shared snacks; and the sudden hand when she was climbing the stairs together. Their hot palms are like this hot summer day.
They learned ahead of time in the second year of high school, and the pace of class was even faster now. Some students couldn’t accept this speed, so they had to study hard to make up for it after class. In a building in the former high school’s third year, many people finally understand why people rarely see each other after class. It turns out that everyone was racing against time.
The frequency of their exams had increased, with large and small exams one after another. The questions given by their school teachers and the test papers issued by other schools are sometimes not formal, and the desks are not separated, so they may take the exam as usual.
Even the students who hate exams the most would get used to them in this environment, and the thickness of the test papers on everyone’s desk was increasing.
As a teacher’s minor expert, she was serious and reliable in her work, and You Yu, who was very popular among teachers of various subjects, was often recruited by the teachers to help correct the test papers. Given the frequent examinations, so many test papers that need to be corrected have also become an immense challenge.
You Yu’s girlfriend, Chi Tang, said that her test papers were corrected by You Yu eight out of ten times. She couldn’t find her test papers for correction.
Correcting the test papers for my little girlfriend was, of course, different. Some teachers correct the wrong questions and unceremoniously draw a big cross to express their anger. According to their anger level, the ability of those red crosses was well documented. And You Yu won’t. Chi Tang’s wrong questions are drawn in circles. It really shouldn’t be wrong. She would put a small question mark, not for Chi Tang, but for herself. Chi Tang was more likely to make mistakes. She probably knew better than Chi Tang himself.
On Chi Tang’s test paper, besides the standard red circle that comes from You Yu, at first glance, there are occasionally small flower expressions drawn in red strokes. She didn’t know where You Yu saw it.
Once, Mr. Ke did not let You Yu do the work and handed out the test papers by himself. She read the names one by one and asked them to pick them up. When she read Chi Tang, she suddenly yelled and raised the test paper, asking, “Chi Tang, why are there two small flowers painted next to your name?”
The little flower with red strokes was not Chi Tang’s masterpiece. Teacher Ke understands it when she thinks about it and suddenly feels funny. You Yu was usually so stable, and she was vivacious with this kind of playful thinking about good friends. So in front of her classmates, she joked: “Because Chi Tang did a good job this time, you can draw two little red flowers for her to encourage you.”
The entire class laughed, and Wei Xingxing and the others laughed loudly. Chi Tang covered her forehead, a little unable to face these simple teachers and classmates.
No, blush.
You Yu drew Xiaohua’s small expression and hid it in the corner of her test paper.
Occasionally, Chi Tang would see a small letter in an inconspicuous place in the test’s corner paper, sometimes behind the English reading comprehension and sometimes hidden behind the composition.
“What does this mean? The distinct marks mean how well I am doing this time?” She asked the tablemate next to her with the test paper.
The same table answered her: “Just handwritten.”
If it wasn’t for her face suddenly reddening so badly, Chi Tang would have believed it.
Chi Tang felt curious and went to find the answer by himself. It was very easy. As the number of exams increased, she turned out the stack of test papers with letters, and each letter was spelled “lveyu” easily. The scumbag who was scumbag was very sensitive to certain two words, not to mention Chi Tang. She saw at a glance that two letters were missing, and she soon found them. Those two o’s were drawn as two careful ones at all. She didn’t count them in the letters before.
Because she didn’t expose it, You Yu continued to write letters secretly, sometimes writing, sometimes not writing, and hiding it more secretly, and then successively spelled out “forever.”
I will love you forever.
Chi Tang:… I usually watch it silently but use the test paper to confess. I never thought you were such a fish.
Because of such a secret confession, she thought even the test papers had become a little cute.
In October, Chi Tang received a notice.
Her father, Chi Zhang, was sentenced to death for the crime of deliberately killing someone.
The day she received the notification was a sunny day. It had rained for almost a full week before that. It was a rare sunny day. She should have been in a good mood, but Chi Tang completely lost control of her emotions. As long as she heard the name Chi Zhang, she couldn’t help but think of those terrible things.
She said nothing, but she seemed very silent all day, and she ate nothing for lunch or dinner. Before going to study in the evening, You Yu pulled her aside and asked her to sit on the edge of her bed, squatting in front of her and pressing her knees. “I’m asking for leave for you. You don’t have to go to study in the evening; you are in the bedroom. Do you have a rest? “
Chi Tang endured the emotions of the day and suddenly broke. She bent down, buried her face in her arms, and whimpered.
You Yu held her head and combed her hair with her hands. “It’s not sad, it’s okay.”
Chi Tang was lying on her bed in the class bell of the evening self-study, with her head resting on her legs, and the two quietly watched the sunset outside the window.
“He is dying.”
How many complicated feelings rushed to my heart in an instant, relieved? If yes, she no longer needs to be afraid of this person. But how sad? It seemed like she was the same. She called her father for so many years and was abandoned by her mother early. She still depended on that man, but in the end, the feelings were not worth mentioning, leaving her with nothing but painful memories.
She was like an orphan, lost once and found again.
She sat up, wiping away her tears, and took a deep breath. She didn’t want to feel sorry for Chi Zhang.
You Yu hugged her sideways and said to her, “We will always be together, in college together, and after graduation.”
Chi Tang: “University… I shouldn’t be able to go to a university with you.”
You Yu: “Well, then go to two adjacent universities, and you can live off-campus together. Don’t be afraid. I will support you later.”
Chi Tang: “You said that when you were sixteen, and what did you say at sixteen counts?”
You Yu told her earnestly: “Well, it counts up to the age of ninety-six.”
It seems to move now, but Chi Tang suddenly felt a sense of reluctance to admit defeat, “Maybe who will support me by then?”
You Yu: “Okay, then I can support you, you can support me, and you can support each other.”
Anyway, she would be happy.
Not long after school started, Teacher Ke had a special conversation with You Yu.
