"But Xiao Ruan Ruan, what should you do if you have a zero score in that subject? Lou Wu listened to the conversation between the two and subconsciously asked.

After the words came out, Ji Bai glanced at him, he covered his lips and reacted suddenly.

"Xiao Ruan Ruan, I'm sorry, you didn't hear what you said just now!" Lou Wu hurriedly remedied.

Su Ruan Ruan smiled and shook his head, "It's okay, it's already an established fact, there's nothing to avoid, anyway, if you can't go to Jinling University, you can go to the branch school, no matter how bad it is, there are also art academies, and you won't be without studying." ”

"yes, now that I'm done with the exam, I won't think about that, let's go. ”

The four of them left the school with a smile and a smile.

In the evening, Su Ruan Ruan and Su Ruan Ning followed Tang Jingting back to the Tang family's old house.

Tang Honghe asked the servant to make a table of sumptuous dishes for the two girls to celebrate.

Su Ruan Ruan looked at the lively old mansion and the dishes on the table, although she was relieved that she had zero points in that subject, but when she saw Tang Honghe's happy appearance, the self-blame in her heart couldn't help but come up.

"Ruan girl, Ruan Ning girl, grandpa congratulations on your exam. Tang Honghe said with a smile.

"Thank you, grandpa, grandpa doesn't know, Ruan Ruan and I were in a tense mood during this time, and when we walked out of the examination room this afternoon, the whole person was instantly relaxed. Su Ruan Ning said.

"That's natural, now that the exam is over, it's just the day your results come out, how is it, do you have confidence?"

Su Ruan Ning nodded with a smile and affirmed: "Of course there is, grandpa, Ruan Ning thinks that she has absolutely no problem with Jinling!"

Su Ruanning's words made Tang Honghe smile from ear to ear.

"Ruan girl, how are you?" Tang Honghe looked at Su Ruan Ruan and asked.

Without waiting for Su Ruan Ruan to speak, Su Ruan Ning had already opened her mouth first, "Grandpa, you ...... Don't ask Nguyen Nguyen. ”

Tang Honghe was stunned, "Don't ask, why don't you ask? Is Ruan Yatou not doing well in the exam?"

Su Ruanruan's throat was slightly choked, and her pink lips were dry.

"It doesn't matter if the test is unsatisfactory, this exam is an estimate. Tang Honghe said.

"Grandpa, no, it's Ruan Ruan...... Nguyen Nguyen has a zero score in one subject. Su Ruan Ning said.

"Zero points?!"

"Zero?"

Yu Sisi on the side was also surprised, "Ruan Ruan, how can there be a zero score in one subject?" she asked.

They all know that although Su Ruanruan's results are not as good as Su Ruanning's, they have zero points, which is too exaggerated, so they can't do it.

"It was Ruan Ruan who was careless, and the admission ticket was lost. Su Ruan Ning explained.

As Su Ruanning's words came out, Su Ruan's face became even worse, "Grandpa...... It's Ruan Ruan who is not good, Ruan Ruan is careless. She muffled.

Tang Jingting looked at the depressed mood of the people around him, frowned, sandwiched the sweet and sour meat into the bowl in front of her, and said slowly: "She has been blaming herself for a long time for this matter, and if the results of other subjects are okay, she will have no problem with Jinling Branch." ”

In a word, Su Ruan Ruan was pulled out of the predicament, and at the same time, her self-blame was passed on to the old man.

Tang Honghe originally felt worried, and he wanted to say a few words, but when he heard Tang Jingting say that Su Ruan Ruan had been blaming himself for a long time, he suddenly couldn't bear it.

"Yes, Jing Ting is right, this Jinling University is not a place where we have to go, the branch is also very good, and it is close to home, let's not go to Jinling University. Tang Honghe reassured in a loud voice.

Seeing that Su Ruan Ruan's little face was still filled with deep chagrin, Tang Honghe continued: "Ruan girl, if you keep being unhappy, then grandpa can't be happy, then grandpa can't eat this meal, grandpa can't eat, and he's going to hurt his body." ”

"Yes, Ruan Ruan, your emotions affect Grandpa's emotions. Yu Sisi hurriedly said.

When Su Ruan Ruan heard this, her little face was nervous, and she quickly bent her lips, "Grandpa, Ruan Ruan is not unhappy, Ruan Ruan wants to open it." ”

Tang Honghe raised his voice and smiled, "Okay, it's good to open it if you want to! Eat and eat, let's not talk about the exam!"

……

The results of the college entrance examination are released about ten days after the end of the exam.

When Su Ruan Ruan checked the results, his heart seemed to jump out of his mouth.

Finally, she looked at her results.

Predictable......

She had a zero score in one subject, so the total score would not be too high, and she looked at the scores of each subject, and the scores in each subject were not bad, higher than she expected, especially Chinese.

Su Ruan Ruan sighed lightly, if there was no accident in her subject, the total score would be ......

But it has happened, and there is no room for recovery.

After checking the scores, Su Ruan Ruan looked at the score lines of each college again.

Jinling Branch, her score reached!

Just on the line!

"Sister, my score is up to the line of the Jinling branch!" she was delighted.

What she was most worried about was that her score would not even reach the line of the branch!

Su Ruan Ruan looked at Su Ruan Ning, and suddenly found that her sister's face was wrong.

"Sister, what's wrong?" she asked with concern.

"Nothing. Su Ruan Ning eased her emotions and deliberately avoided it.

At this time, Tang Jingting came down from upstairs and saw the sisters sitting around the coffee table in the living room, each with a computer in front of them.

Today is the day the score will be released.

The man stepped over, "The scores are out." ”

Su Ruan Ruan nodded hurriedly, "Well, Ruan Ruan's line just arrived at the Jinling Branch!"

Tang Jingting's thin lips hooked, "That's good, you're very competitive." ”

After he finished speaking, he turned his eyes to look at Su Ruanning, "How is yours." ”

Su Ruan Ning pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, "Ruan Ning didn't reach the score line of Jinling University. ”

As soon as Su Ruanning's words came out, Su Ruan Ruan was stunned, "Sister, it's impossible, right?!"

With my sister's grades, it is normal for the score line to be higher than that of Jinling University, how can it be ......

Su Ruan Ruan glanced sideways at the score on the computer.

Su Ruan Ning's total score......

It really is.

No wonder my sister's face was so bad just now.

"That's the way it is," Su Ruan Ning pulled her lips, raised her eyes, looked at Tang Jingting, and choked in her throat, "Mr. Tang, Ruan Ning has disappointed you." ”

Tang Jingting's expression was gloomy, "There is nothing to be disappointed or disappointed, your results like this are good, I am very satisfied." ”

Su Ruan Ning pulled her lips with a self-deprecating smile.

How can it be satisfied.

So many people, how much they expected of her.

Even she herself is so swearing, whether it is in front of Tang Honghe or Tang Jingting, she is full of words, she wants everyone to see how good she Su Ruan Ning is!

But now, such a Waterloo result is like a resounding slap in the face!

It's embarrassing.

"Sir, eldest miss, second miss, lunch is ready. Sister-in-law Zhang said.

Tang Jingting glanced at Su Ruanning, "Don't think too much, eat." ”

"Yes, sister, don't ...... Don't overthink it. ”

Su Ruan Ruan didn't know how to calm her sister's emotions, and her little hand couldn't help but put her little hand on her sister's shoulder.

But in the next moment, Su Ruan Ning brushed off her hand, "Mr. Tang, I made an appointment with my friend, and I ate lunch outside, so I left first." After saying that, he hurriedly ran out of the door.

"Sister!"

Su Ruan Ruan caught up, but was pulled by Tang Jingting, and the man was calm, "It's good to let her be quiet alone." ”

"But sister, she ......"

"Your sister is arrogant, at this time you can't persuade her to have any effect, it's better to let her be quiet, she will figure it out when she calms down. Tang Jingting said.

Su Ruan Ruan's little face was wrinkled, and her little face was full of deep worry.

And the other side.

The atmosphere was so deep that it was as if a needle had dropped from the ground.

Ji Bai and Ji's father sat on the sofa, Ji's father frowned, lowered his head, and Ji's mother paced back and forth in the living room, with an anxious and annoyed look on her face.

In contrast, Ji Bai's expression was much calmer.

"Ji Bai, you have to give me and your dad an explanation for this matter......! How could it be that the score line of Jinling University didn't even go up!" Ji's mother stopped, looked at her son, and said angrily.

Ji Bai's expression was indifferent, and he curled his lips, "There was a mistake in the math problem." He explained calmly.

Ji Mu's face did not change because of Ji Bai's explanation, "Big mistakes? Ji Bai, you have never been a careless person, your mother understands you, even your homeroom teacher said that the mathematics paper of this high school examination may be a little difficult for students with average grades, but it is more than enough for you! How could you make such a mistake!"

Ji Bai sighed lightly and said slowly: "Mom, the scores have come out, it doesn't make any sense for you to say this," he curled his lips and chuckled, "It's a pity that the scores didn't reach Jinling University, but it's not just Jinling University that you can go to, and the branch of Jinling University is also good." ”

Ji's mother's breath suddenly became heavy, "Branch? Do you only have the ability to go to Jinling University?" You are the first in your class, the first in your grade, and the best in the school! Now you are in a branch school! What are you talking about?!"

In Ji's mother's view, her son is unmatched, and her son's good results have always been her pride.

Can ...... now

told her that her son's grades had not yet reached the score line of Jinling University!

How could she be willing?!

"Mom, not to mention that the branch is a branch of Jinling University, which is not much different from Jinling University, and I don't think that it has to be a famous school, in the branch school, you can learn the same things. ”

Ji's mother was annoyed, and Ji's father's face was not much better, but because of his personality, Ji's father was not as good as Ji's mother, and after calming down, he also understood the fact that the wood was already in the boat, and said comfortingly: "Forget it, don't quarrel, the score has come out, the facts are in front of you, and there is no point in arguing more." ”

Father Ji raised his eyes and looked at Ji Bai after speaking, and said seriously, "Ji Bai, you have to understand, you are all the hope of me and your mother, we can solve the occasional mistakes, and in the future, your mother and I don't want to see such serious mistakes again, do you know." ”

Ji Bai nodded, and then comforted and persuaded his mother for a while before leaving home.

Lou Wu asked him out.

"Ji Bai, the results are out, how about it, you shouldn't be a perfect score, right?!" Lou Wu leaned lazily on the riverside bridge railing.

Ji Bai smiled and asked rhetorically, "What about you?"

Lou Wu raised his eyebrows, "What else can I do, my grades are the worst of the four of us, this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to go with Xiao Ruan Ruan and them." ”

Lou Wu's score is not high, and the branch of Jinling University is difficult.

But such a result, in Lou Wu's own expectations, he has regrets, but not too sad.

"I just called Xiao Ruan Ruan and Xiong Shan, Xiong Shan's grades are more than enough for Jinling University, but Jinling University is a little worse. Lou Wu said.

"What about Ruan Ruan?" Ji Bai rested his hands and arms on the railing, facing the summer wind.

Lou Wu raised his eyebrows meaningfully, "You didn't call her to ask?"

He thought that with his brother's liking for Xiao Ruan Ruan, he was afraid that he would call him as soon as possible.

"No, I've been talking to my parents since the results came out, but I didn't have time. Ji Bai said.

Lou Wu nodded, and then said: "Xiao Ruan Ruan, she is quite satisfied with the exam, and she has arrived at the line of the Jinling branch." ”

When the words fell, a shallow smile overflowed on Ji Bai's lips, and he said slowly, "That's good." ”

"Eh, Ji Bai, you haven't said it yet, how are your grades, are you going to go to Jinling University?" Lou Wu asked.

Ji Bai smiled and shook his head, "I made a mistake this time, and I didn't reach the score line of Jinling University." ”

Ji Bai said very calmly, but Lou Wu was so shocked that his jaw seemed to fall off.

"What?!Ji Bai, are you kidding me?!You haven't reached the score line of Jinling University, how is this possible!"

Lou Wu didn't believe it.

In fact, it's hard to believe it for anyone.

Ji Bai's excellent grades are obvious to all, and it is no exaggeration to say that Lou Wu feels that he can get the test even if he closes his eyes.

Now he is told that he has not even reached the passing mark?!

"If you don't believe me, I'll check it out for you on the Internet on my mobile phone now. Ji Bai said.

Looking at Ji Bai's serious appearance, Lou Wu knew that he was not lying.

But......

I can't believe it.

Lou Wu stared at Ji Bai with suspicious eyes, and suddenly, a guess crossed his mind.

"Ji Bai, you made a mistake this time?"

"Well, mistakes. ”

"Ji Bai, you tell me the truth, shouldn't you be for Xiao Ruan Ruan?"

Lou Wu felt that even if Ji Bai really made a mistake, this mistake would not be so exaggerated, at least, he could meet the passing line of Jinling University.

Ji Bai was silent for a moment, and when Lou Wu saw this, he concluded this guess.

"Brother, you cow, you really gave up Jinling for Xiao Ruan Ruan, by the way, didn't you say that you would confess to Xiao Ruan Ruan after the college entrance examination?

Ji Bai smiled helplessly, looked at Lou Wu, and pushed him with his elbow, "You seem to be more anxious than me." ”

Lou Wu smiled, "That is, you are my good brother, can I not be in a hurry about your big affairs, not to mention that it is also related to Xiao Ruan Ruan, if the two of you are together, the relationship between us will be closer, how good." ”

"Eh, did you talk to Xiao Ruan Ruan? Lou Wu picked his eyes.

Ji Bai looked deep and shook his head, "Not yet." ”

Lou Wu was anxious, "I'll go, then you don't hurry, let me tell you, don't delay until the end of the summer vacation, when the new semester starts, I don't know how many seniors are eyeing the younger sisters, Xiao Ruan Ruan is so cute, when the people who are worried about her catch a handful, then Ji Bai You are in danger, the so-called fertilizer water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, I don't want Xiao Ruan Ruan to be chased by others." ”

"Well, I know. Ji Bai said.

Lou Wu is an anxious person, especially in this matter, seeing that Ji Bai is always so indifferent, "Ji Bai, let's do it, brother help you create opportunities, in a few days, I will gather a few good classmates in the class, on the grounds of a short trip, let's go have fun, go live outside for two or three days, during this period, you find an opportunity, be romantic, and take the opportunity to show your heart to Xiao Ruan Ruan!"

Regarding Lou Wu's proposal, Ji Bai smiled and did not refuse.

……

Rancho Nine Creek.

Su Ruan Ning went out for a long time and didn't come back

Su Ruan Ruan was worried and worried, but she called Su Ruan Ning several times, but no one answered.

That's it for most of the day.

It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that Su Ruan Ruan Ruan heard movement and sound from downstairs.

She hurriedly put down the computer in her hand and ran out of the room with her slippers.

Before he reached the staircase, he saw Su Ruan Ning walking over with a tired face.

"Sister!" she hurriedly ran over.

Su Ruan Ning didn't have any emotion on her face, and she didn't answer her, and slowly walked towards her room.

"Sister, you...... Are you alright......" Su Ruan Ruan asked worriedly and tentatively.

"I'm fine," Walking to the door of the room, Su Ruan Ning replied to her indifferently, "I'm tired, you can go back to the room too." ”

"Sister......

Su Ruan Ruan just wanted to follow, and said anything more, only to hear a bang, and the door was ruthlessly closed by Su Ruan Ning.

Su Ruan Ruan pursed her pink lips and stood at the door of the room for a while before slowly leaving.

In the room, the indifference on Su Ruan Ning's face slowly faded, covered with a touch of deep emotion, mixed with annoyance and unwillingness.

When Tang Jingting walked into the house, he looked over and saw the small figure on the balcony, he walked over and sat down beside her, "Why are you sitting here in a daze." ”

Seeing Tang Jingting come back, the little girl's delicate little face showed joy, but soon, it was replaced by melancholy and worry.

"My sister just came back. ”

"Well, I heard what Sister-in-law Zhang said. ”

"My sister is still in a bad mood and doesn't want to talk to me, Mr. Tang, I'm worried about my sister, but I don't know how to comfort my sister. ”

She knew that her sister's depression was due to the failure of the exam, and if it was something else, maybe she could still find a way to comfort her and even help her sister solve it, but the matter of the test score was the last thing she could do.

"Forgot what I said?"

Su Ruan Ruan flattened her lips and shook her head, "I haven't forgotten, but Mr. Tang said that it would be good for my sister to be quiet, but it's been a long time, and my sister is still depressed." ”

Tang Jingting chuckled, stroked her soft hair with his big palm, and indulged deeply, "Fool." ”

"Huh?"

The little girl's face was wrinkled, and she looked at him for some reason.

"I said, your sister's temperament is different from yours, her temperament is relatively arrogant, plus for so many years, her grades have always been the best, she is overconfident in herself, and this exam is the same, she only thinks of the best result, and she never thinks about the unexpected result. ”

"She is not mentally prepared for construction, coupled with her proud achievements for many years, she suddenly lost, her mood is lower than ordinary people, plus because of her temperament, the comfort of others to her at this time will not be too effective, she needs to think about it herself, as for what you said, it's been a long time, fool, this thing is not so fast, give your sister a little more time, huh?"

Su Ruan Ruan listened to the man's explanation, felt that it made sense, nodded lightly, she looked at the endless night outside, and folded her hands, "I hope my sister will come out of her depression as soon as possible!"

The next day.

It was the day when they went back to the old mansion of the Tang family together.

The results of the college entrance examination came out, and Tang Honghe was waiting for the good news of the sisters with great expectations.

Yu Sisi asked the maid to cook the sisters' favorite meal.

When the three of them returned to the old mansion of the Tang family, Tang Honghe was full of interest and full of expectations, asking about the results of the two sisters' exams.

Su Ruan Ruan told Tang Honghe about his results.

Tang Honghe knew that Su Ruanruan's results were not top-notch, and such results were already very good for her.

"Then Ruan Ruan's results, it should be no problem to go to the Jinling branch, right?" asked Tang Honghe.

"Well, grandpa, no problem, it's time for the score line. Su Ruan replied.

Tang Honghe smiled loudly, turned to look at Su Ruanning, and asked.

Su Ruan Ning was not as active as before, her face was gloomy, and she was hesitant to be asked by Tang Honghe about her results.

"Ruan Ning, girl, what's wrong with this? Is it not ideal in the exam?" Tang Honghe guessed, "It doesn't matter, even if there are some mistakes, it doesn't matter, there is no one for this exam." ”

Su Ruan Ning pursed her lips tightly, her lips turned pale, "Grandpa, Ruan Ning...... I was not admitted to Jinling University, and I didn't even reach the passing line. ”

Tang Honghe and Yu Sisi were both stunned.

They know Su Ruanning's results, they have always been very good, and judging from the results of the usual monthly exams, Jinling University is definitely more than enough.

But now I haven't even reached the passing mark, which is really surprising.

Seeing the slight surprise on Tang Honghe and Yu Sisi's faces, Su Ruan Ning's face became even worse and embarrassed, and she said in a muffled voice, "Grandpa, it was Ruan Ning who lived up to your expectations, Ruan Ning is really useless." ”

Tang Honghe came back to his senses and said in a straight voice: "Eh, what is this, this exam, no one is completely sure, we don't go to Jinling University, and the branch is okay, it's not bad, and grandpa knows that you have done your best, nothing to live up to." ”

"Yes, Ruan Ning, don't think too much, this score is already very good, grandpa is very happy. Yu Sisi said as she put chopsticks fish in Su Ruan's bowl.

"Ruan Ning, if you blame yourself so much and feel guilty, I, the old man, will not be happy even if I am afraid, come, let's not think about those things, be happy." Tang Honghe said.

Su Ruan Ning pulled her lips and forced a smile to suppress her emotions.

After dinner, Tang Jingting accompanied the old man to talk in the living room.

Su Ruan Ruan's eyes turned, she didn't see Su Ruan Ning's figure in the living room, she looked around, and in the garden outside, she saw Su Ruan Ning standing alone.

"Sister. She walked over.
