On the evening of June 6th, after the students had dinner and went to self-study in the evening, Lin Ping said a temporary message to all the senior high school students through the radio broadcast in each classroom: "I hope that the students will regard tomorrow as the day of our fourth mock exam, we have already experienced three mock exams, this is just the fourth mock exam, face it confidently, and take the exam calmly! I think you will be able to 'see all the Chang'an flowers in one day'! Relax your mind and sleep well!"

Then the teachers of each class once again emphasized to the candidates the matter of scribbling the answer sheet and writing the name and test number.

And tonight, there are destined to be many students who can't sleep, some because of nervousness, and some because of inexplicable excitement.

Today is the 17th day of the fourth month of the lunar calendar, the so-called "15th moon and 16th round", and the moon on the 17th today still inherits the brightness of the moon last night, hanging in the sky like a disk.

After going to bed for more than ten minutes, Liu Xiaozhong still did not feel sleepy, he stared at the full moon outside the window in a daze, this is Zhang Feng on the side can't sleep, open his eyes and turn his head to see, Liu Xiaozhong on the bed next to him is looking out of the window blankly, both eyes are the reflection of the moon, the moon seems to have become his pupils.

"What's the matter, Xiaozhong, nervous?" asked Zhang Feng with a grin.

Liu Xiaozhong nodded lightly and shook his head again.

Zhang Feng said with a smile: "It's okay, horizontal and vertical is a death, and after eighteen years, he will be a good man again!"

At this time, Xu Tong, who was sleeping on the top bunk, poked out his head and said, "Zhang Feng, what you said is like going to the execution ground." ”

Zhang Feng said with a smile: "Isn't that just going to the execution ground." ”

Xu Tong said again: "It's okay, didn't Principal Lin say it, calm down, face it with confidence, what's wrong if you can't pass the test, all roads lead to Rome!"

Another roommate also said: "Yes, it doesn't matter if you take more exams or less, all roads lead to Rome!

The words of a few people obviously have a great element of self-comfort, but they also relieve the tension of tomorrow's college entrance examination.

"All roads lead to Rome?" Zhang Feng sighed and shook his head and said, "It's a pity, I can't stand someone who was born in Rome." And the road to Rome was long, short, flat, and rugged......"

Before Zhang Feng, a rare great philosopher, finished speaking, the dormitory door was pushed open, and the head teacher walked in and whispered: "When is it? Still chatting? Hurry up and sleep, don't talk, and close your eyes if you can't sleep!"

It turns out that in order to ensure the sleep state of the students, the head teachers of each class in the third year of high school should be required to stand guard for the students, and some class teachers are transferred to other counties and cities as invigilators, so they are topped by other teachers, in principle, there is a male teacher watching on the boys' side, and a female teacher watching on the girls' side. In addition, each teacher should stand guard until about 12 o'clock, trying to ensure that every student can go to sleep before leaving.

The head teacher's words made the dormitory quiet again, and Liu Xiaozhong also took his eyes back from the moon, but as soon as he closed his eyes, Yue Xinran's appearance would always appear unconsciously in his mind.

"No, you have to sleep well, take the exam well tomorrow, and strive to go to the same university as Yue Xinran. Liu Xiaozhong muttered to himself in his heart.

As the night deepened, there was a slight snoring sound in some dormitories, and under the moonlight, I hoped that this group of students would have a good dream.

June 7 finally came, Lin Ping woke up at four o'clock in the morning, came to the office and stood in front of the window looking at the campus.

Although it is not Lin Ping's college entrance examination, Lin Ping is more nervous and important than any senior high school student, after all, this is the first batch of senior high school students in his life, at this time Lin Ping is like a farmer waiting for a bumper harvest of cabbage in the field, and like a farmer waiting for the piglets to be slaughtered.

And early this morning, the students got up, had breakfast in the cafeteria, and then the students at the test center returned to the dormitory to continue to review.

Students from other school test centers got on the buses arranged by the school and prepared to go to other test centers.

Liu Xiaozhong and Zhang Feng walked out of the restaurant together and then walked to the bus meeting place, and the two happened to be at the same test center - Xibei No. 2 Middle School.

And the examination room of the two was next to each other, Liu Xiaozhong's first reaction at that time was: "Why are you everywhere?" ”

Zhang Feng replied: "It's obvious that you are pestering me, okay?"

On the way to the bus, Liu Xiaozhong saw the familiar figure - Yue Xinran, yesterday Liu Xiaozhong wanted to find Yue Xinran and ask her which test center she was, but he didn't find a suitable opportunity, in fact, to put it bluntly, he coerced.

And now Liu Xiaozhong mustered up the courage to walk quickly to Yue Xinran's side: "Hey, Yue Xinran, which test center are you?"

Yue Xinran heard Liu Xiaozhong's question behind him, turned his head lightly and smiled: "I'm in Xibei No. 1 Middle School, what about you?"

"I'm in Xibei No. 2 Middle School. Liu Xiaozhong said with some loss.

"Come on!" Yue Xinran encouraged.

"Well, come on, I wish you a good result!" Liu Xiaozhong said.

"Well, you too!, come on!" Yue Xinran said with a smile.

Then the two of them each boarded their own buses, Liu Xiaozhong's eyes were still looking at Yue Xinran's direction, and then Zhang Feng patted Liu Xiaozhong's shoulder and said, "Okay, the college entrance examination is important, don't think about women." ”

"Don't sit next to me!" Liu Xiaozhong said.

"Hehe, I'll sit here, you don't want you to sue the teacher. Zhang Feng said cheaply.

The bus started, more than a dozen buses lined up in a long line from the school gate, Liu Xiaozhong saw through the car window the principal Lin Ping with a group of teachers to see them off, there were many parents outside the school gate, their eyes were full of expectations and encouragement.

The bus convoy went to an intersection, and then a few cars turned right, a few cars turned left, and a few cars went forward, and everyone parted ways at this intersection to go to their own examination room, which is also like a life route after the college entrance examination.

Liu Xiaozhong looked at the buses turning to the right blankly, and then saw Yue Xinran sitting against the window, Yue Xinran also saw him, smiled and waved to him, and then Liu Xiaozhong watched Yue Xinran's car drift away.

The college entrance examination is finally coming.

This means that the three years of high school life will also end here, the first eighteen years of life will end here, the college entrance examination is like a comma, this comma is the eighteen years of youth before the comma, and after the comma will be a new journey.
