Gradually, the weather became colder and colder, and the fierce north wind became more and more howling. Finally, one morning, snowflakes fell from the sky.

Before Xu Tianyu got up, the door was slammed open from the outside, and the loud sound made him open his hazy sleepy eyes, only to see Chen Xiuqiao burst in from the outside with an excited face, and his mouth kept shouting.

"Xiaoyu, get up quickly, it's snowing, it's so beautiful, get up and watch the snowflakes." ”

Xu Tianyu smiled helplessly, he thought something terrible had happened, wasn't it snowing, and he hadn't seen it before. How can there be no snow in winter?

He struggled to get dressed and walked to the living room, where the stove was lit and it was warm. Chen Xiuqiao stood next to the window, both hands on the window glass, and her eyes were tightly pressed against the glass, as if a gorgeous performance was being performed outside.

Xu Tianyu walked behind her and gently wrapped his arms around ***, and the warm breath hit Chen Xiuqiao's neck.

He said with some incomprehension, "Sister, isn't it snowing, are you so excited?"

"Xiaoyu, don't you think the snow is beautiful?" Chen Xiuqiao's eyes burned, as if it was not snowflakes but rose petals falling from the sky.

Chen Xiuqiao continued to murmur affectionately, "When I was a child, my favorite thing was snow, and I felt happy from the bottom of my heart when I saw the snowflakes falling from the sky. ”

"Then when the snow stops, I'll go out and build you a big snowman. It's a pity that there is no refrigerator, and if there is one, we can freeze the snowman so that we can see the snow all year round. Xu Tianyu said regretfully.

He suddenly remembered that in the afterlife, it seemed that someone had indeed done this.

Chen Xiuqiao smiled, "How can anyone be so stupid, if you can see snow all year round, it will not be unusual, it is because snow is only available in winter, which is precious." ”

"That's right, when we have money in the future, I'll take you to the North Pole, where the sky is covered with snow, so you can see enough at once. ”

Xu Tianyu put his chin on Chen Xiuqiao's shoulder, the sparse stubble tied his neck was itchy, Chen Xiuqiao raised his hand and touched the face that was close at hand, and closed his eyes with satisfaction.

She took a deep breath, and a light smile tugged at the corner of her mouth, as if the two of them had come to the snowfields of the far north, and the heavy snow spread the only white between the sky and the earth.

"Xiaoyu, thank you for always being by my side. ”

The murmuring whispers flowed in his heart, Chen Xiuqiao didn't notice it, and Xu Tianyu behind him was also smiling, slightly closing his eyes, as if he was asleep.

After the first snow, it was as cold as a day, and the frozen people just wanted to huddle in the warm quilt and didn't want to come out for a moment. But for the students in the third year of high school, they don't dare to expect this kind of enjoyment, and the hands outside the sleeves are cold and red, but everyone is working hard to write.

In the teacher's office building of Kaishan Middle School, in Liao Yanran's office, on a simple wooden desk, two young people, a man and a woman, sat opposite.

Xu Tianyu and Qian Xiaohui sat on both sides of the desk, keeping their heads down and calculating on the straw paper, each with a test paper in front of them, and the words of the competition test questions could be vaguely seen.

Liao Yanran stood aside, holding a steaming teacup in her hand, turning around the two of them from time to time, occasionally nodding in appreciation.

Soon both of them finished answering the questions, and almost at the same time they raised their heads, looked at each other, looked at each other, and smiled.

"Alright, come, let me see how many points you get. Liao Yanran put down the teacup, took the test paper from the two of them, took out the standard answer, and got up.

Xu Tianyu looked relaxed, leaned on the back of the chair and lifted Erlang's legs, in comparison, Qian Xiaohui was a lot nervous, she stared at the red pen in Liao Yanran's hand, watching whether it was a tick or a cross.

Soon, Liao Yanran finished reading, picked up the two test papers and looked at them, nodded with satisfaction, and then handed them back to the two of them.

"Xu Tianyu scored ninety-eight points, and Qian Xiaohui scored ninety-five points, both of which are good, continue to work hard. Immediately afterwards, Liao Yanran frowned, and said to Xu Tianyu with some dissatisfaction, "The question you did wrong is simply too naïve, as long as you pay a little attention, you can get a full score, you must carefully review the questions in the future, especially when you take the exam, you must think about it before answering the questions, and you must not be sloppy again." ”

Xu Tianyu nodded noncommittally, with a disapproving expression on his face, but Qian Xiaohui's face was excited, this was the highest score she had scored since she was tutored in the math competition.

However, thinking that Xu Tianyu is always a few points higher than her every time he takes an exam, he can't help but feel a faint sense of loss, for a girl who is so strong, it is indeed a little unacceptable to let a boy compare with him every time.

After reprimanding Xu Tianyu, Liao Yanran continued, "The beginning of February next year is the time for the mathematics competition, so we still have more than two months to prepare, but according to the previous agreement, we will go to Lindong No. 1 Middle School for intensive training one month in advance, so I will tell you an unfortunate news, we may have to celebrate the New Year there." ”

"Isn't it?" Xu Tianyu's face immediately fell, and his crying expression was as if Liao Yanran owed him millions, "Teacher Liao, is this really good? I won't let you spend years at home? ”

Liao Yanran's expression suddenly became serious, and she said in an unquestionable tone, "Xu Tianyu, this is not your business alone, even the Municipal Education Bureau attaches great importance to this mathematics competition, so you must obey orders." ”

"It's like fighting a soldier. Xu Tianyu pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice.

"Hey, don't underestimate this math competition. Liao Yanran looked at Xu Tianyu with an unconvinced look, and said seriously, "Let me tell you the truth, if you get a good ranking in the competition, you will have the hope of being admitted to the special recruitment of Beijing University." Xiaohui, even if you want to go abroad, this is also a big capital for you. ”

Xu Tianyu was taken aback, and his body reclining on the backrest suddenly sat up straight, and Qian Xiaohui opposite also showed a yearning expression.

Liao Yanran was very satisfied with the reaction of the two, pursed her lips and smiled, and raised her arms to make a cheering motion, "So, let's work together!"

Xu Tianyu responded with a cheering gesture without being salty, but he secretly said in his heart, Kyoto University, whose full name is Kyoto University, is the highest-ranked university in the country, and in the future, it is also the top university for all high school students in the country to drill into it after sharpening their heads.

Although according to Xu Tianyu's results, it is not impossible to be admitted to Beijing University, but the special enrollment itself is a bright halo, which can enjoy better resources than ordinary students.

In the last life, when Xu Tianyu was begging for a living in Kyoto, he often walked around the gate of Beijing, watching the high-spirited appearance of the talented people coming in and out, which made him envious. At that time, he often fantasized that if he could do it all over again, he would study hard and be admitted to Beijing University.

Not to mention that after his company grew, the graduates of Beijing University who were invited did not take him, a low-educated boss, in his eyes at all.

And when talking about cooperation with others, he reported his family, and everyone else graduated from a famous university, only he didn't dare to say it. Maybe others didn't mean to discriminate against him, but he always felt inferior psychologically.

Low education almost became his most painful pain point at that time, until he reached the peak of his life and created a big business empire, and others no longer dared to underestimate him, did his heart usher in real peace.

Mixed with the desire of two lifetimes, Xu Tianyu's fighting spirit was greatly stimulated, his eyes were burning, he was determined to win this special recruitment place, and he must win it.

Thinking of this, not being able to celebrate the New Year with Chen Xiuqiao doesn't seem to be so unacceptable. There are still regrets, after all, it is the first New Year after his rebirth, and he very much hopes to spend it with his beloved, which has a special meaning in his heart.

It's a big deal to ask him for a day or two off, and it's impossible to ask for leave and not allow it, right? As long as he shows his strength and impresses those teachers, it's easy to say anything.

Coming out of Liao Yanran's office, Xu Tianyu and Qian Xiaohui walked side by side on the way back to the classroom. Qian Xiaohui looked down at the ninety-five score roll in her hand, and sighed, "Xu Tianyu, why do you have a few points more than me every time, when will I catch up with you?"

Xu Tianyu smiled secretly in his heart, in fact, he wanted to say that he could have scored a full score in the exam, but he deliberately made a mistake in order to take care of your emotions.

But he won't say it to hit Qian Xiaohui's self-esteem, the little girl's mind is fragile and needs to be cared for, he comforted, "You are also very good, the score is already very high, I will explain it to you again when I have time, knowledge must be used flexibly, not rote memorization." ”

When he said this, Xu Tianyu looked old-fashioned, and the strange thing was that Qian Xiaohui didn't feel awkward at all, and nodded obediently, as if what Xu Tianyu said was right.

When he got home after school, Xu Tianyu told Chen Xiuqiao about the incident, and expressed the fact that he didn't want to go but was helpless.

Chen Xiuqiao was very generous, not angry at all, and persuaded him that the opportunity was rare, and told him to study hard, don't worry about things at home, and she would go to see him if she had the chance.

In Chen Xiuqiao's eyes, Xu Tianyu's studies are more important than anything, and the desire for knowledge of people in that era is very obvious even if she is a rural girl who has not gone to school much.

Since she doesn't have the opportunity to learn advanced knowledge, let Xu Tianyu, who has the opportunity, study with peace of mind, in fact, Chen Xiuqiao doesn't know what the math competition means at all, but as long as it is beneficial to Xu Tianyu, she will support it unconditionally.
