Zhong Lingtian knew something about Deep Spring Academy because he also wanted to apply back then, but he had too many responsibilities on him, and he couldn't be too capricious.

When he was a child, because of his temporary willfulness, his mother's legs were disabled, which brought a deep blow to the whole family, so he had already given up his personal preferences and only wanted to be a filial son.

But because he had already known about Deep Spring Academy, he did not object to He Yantang's choice.

Although Deep Springs College is not as famous as Harvard, in the United States, only the top boys who score close to perfect on the SAT (American College Entrance Examination) and are willing to accept the challenges of western cowboy life dare to apply to the school, which is known as "the most difficult university in the world", and in the school's 100-year history, only two Chinese mainland students have been admitted.

Deep Springs College is an idea, even an ideal, not just a campus or a ranch. It aims to produce bright and free young souls who are willing to devote themselves to the development of this society. Deep Springs College embraces true democratic self-government in its teaching, accepts all kinds of challenges, and endures hardships that other "ordinary" schools cannot endure, ultimately giving its students the most extraordinary personal and intellectual growth.

To be honest, Zhong Lingtian was very envious of He Yantang, he had the courage and ability to go to Shenquan Academy, but the conditions there were really very bad.

The school's philosophy is that labor and politics are part of education. The whole school is located on a private farm in the valley, and it is a self-sufficient community, like a legendary peach blossom paradise, and the operation of the whole farm depends on the labor of these students and teachers.

There, whether it's a cook, a milker, a mechanic, a feeder or a librarian, it's important for the benefit of the whole community. If you can't fix the tractor, no one may be able to eat; If you oversleep in the morning and forget to milk the cows, then the whole school will not have milk for the whole day. Labor is an integral part of the school.

However, while working, learning must not be left behind. Due to the teacher-to-faculty ratio of about 1:3, every student at Deep Springs Academy can receive near-one-on-one face-to-face teaching from the top professors on the planet. The school has a rule that the lights in the hallway of the house should not be turned off at night, so that students can knock on the door at any time and discuss problems one-on-one. Each course is taught by one professor to several students, or even one-on-one teaching sessions, and students are almost never able to get lazy.

In the depths of the isolated desert, students are herding cattle while undergoing super-intensive academic training, and even the operation and management of the school, including the appointment of professors and the appointment and dismissal of the principal, are also voted on by the students.

Therefore, Deep Springs College is not only the most difficult university in the world to get into, but also the most difficult university in the world.

"Yantang, have you really thought about it?" Zhong Lingtian asked.

"Hmm!" He Yantang nodded firmly.

Zhong Lingtian was silent, it was obvious that his attitude was supportive.

Zhong Xinyi also nodded, "I also agree." ”

Luo Guangzhen objected, "I don't agree! That Deep Springs Academy is too remote! If you go to Yantang, you won't be able to go home for two years! ”

Yes, the mystery of Deep Springs Academy is that it has extremely strict requirements for outside interviews, and even the British Guardian newspaper only approved it after five months of application. The location of the college is in the desert on the border between California and Nevada, which is very remote and almost isolated. There is no cell phone signal and the nearest town is an hour away.

The management of the college is extremely strict, and students are expected to live independently and plan for the future for two years, and are not allowed to leave the valley without permission, and are not allowed to touch alcohol, nor are they encouraged to watch television. Telephone and internet access are often interrupted due to bad weather, and newspapers are sent through the Guò post office, usually two days late.

Such an environment and management cannot be faced calmly by any mother, and Luo Guangzhen is no exception. Although He Yantang was not her biological child, he arrived at the Zhong family when he was three years old, and she had already regarded him as her own son, so she was reluctant to let the child go to such a place.

"Mom, if you have to endure hardship, you will become a master!" He Yantang persuaded.

Although these two years will be extremely difficult, he will get super strong training, which is the most valuable life treasure that no other school can give.

The founder of Deep Springs once said: In the depths of the wilderness there is a deafening voice, which is lacking in a bustling, materialistic society, and only the most outstanding and true leaders will try to get close to solitude, to find and hear this voice. Gentlemen, you have come to the wildest depths of the Western Desert, not only to learn traditional book knowledge, not only to experience cowboy life and become a man, not only for personal future material enjoyment and career pursuit, but more importantly, to learn to contribute and serve a better society. You have to understand that here you will gain not only the best abilities, but also the grandest ambitions - to selflessly use your abilities to make this society a better place.

And he needs to go to such a place to exercise himself and hone himself, only in this way can his future road be smoother and broader, and he can get closer to his ideals and goals faster, as well as ...... His love.

At the dinner table, there was silence.

Zhong Lingtian supported, Zhong Xinyi agreed, Luo Guangzhen reluctantly acquiesced, and Liang Yixun didn't say anything, so he remained silent.

And Zhong Lingxue finally broke out in silence!

"I disagree! What kind of broken spring school, it's not well-known at all! There is no way to be with Harvard and Yarubi! You just go there and waste your youth! ”

He Yantang subconsciously clenched his fists, he knew that she would not agree, and he had not discussed this matter with her before, not that he didn't want to discuss, but that he had no chance to mention it to his position.

The relationship between them had changed since the night of her eighteenth birthday, but she had never said she liked him or anything, and he didn't know what she thought of him, brother? Nanny? Chuang companion?

He wanted to know the answer, but he didn't dare to ask, for fear that if her answer wasn't what he wanted, he wouldn't know what to do.

Although they grew up together since childhood, and the relationship has become so close that it can't be closer, he really doesn't know her very well, he can know all her living habits, but he doesn't know what she thinks in her heart, as if he really can't understand, how can she, as a girl, take the initiative to do that kind of thing with him again and again?

But then again, he could feel that she liked him a little, but how deep was this liking? How long does it last?

He couldn't know her character better, she likes new things, she likes challenges, and she likes adventure, but she is very lazy, from childhood to adulthood, whether it is eating, wearing, or playing, she is used to letting him serve in front of her, and it is best to stretch out her hand to eat to open her mouth, so he can't help but wonder if the night she turned eighteen was because he was the most convenient candidate......

She entered the entertainment industry when she was a teenager, and most of the people in that circle were not good men and women, so she was very curious about men and women, but after all, she was born in a traditional family, and she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, so she didn't dare to break the ban until she was eighteen years old.

But she is very picky, special things, special turtle hair, one is afraid of pain, and the other is afraid of dirty, so she doesn't dare to find a random man to try, and he is undoubtedly the best candidate, one is that he is clean, two is that he will take care of her feelings, and third, he will come and go when he is called, so he is her best choice.

It's just that he doesn't know if she's a short-term choice or a long-term choice.

He was afraid that she only had feelings for him for a while, and although the abnormal relationship between them had lasted for two years, she was still young after all, and she had not experienced more.

But he didn't dare to ask, because she might not be able to figure out the answer herself, and he was also afraid.

So, he could only escape.

And he doesn't have that much strength now, and he doesn't have the confidence to express anything to her.

He took a deep breath and refuted her words for the first time in his life, "Deep Springs College has a total of 6 semesters in an academic year, all year round, and you need to complete 2 or even 3 courses per semester, and the intensity and duration of the courses are far more than those of a normal university. Perennial intense coursework, long hours of physical labor, as well as self-discipline and self-management skills cultivated in the desert, tenacity and cooperative spirit, all these qualities of students are undoubtedly valued by first-class universities like Harvard, which are committed to cultivating leaders, so students who graduate from Deep Springs College can easily transfer to other first-class universities after two years. According to the previous statistics of Deep Springs College, most graduates transfer to Harvard, Yale and other Ivy League universities to continue their junior studies, and about two-thirds of them get bachelor's degrees, and even one-half get doctorates. So, I'm not wasting my youth, I'm not going to toss around! I have my ideals and dreams! ”

He Yantang's words stunned everyone, he had never said such a long paragraph in one breath in the Zhong family for more than ten years, and these words were still said to Xiaoxue, who had never said a word to him!

And Zhong Lingxue, as a party concerned, couldn't stand such a big impact face-to-face, and felt a sting in her heart, and said without words, "Okay!" Go wherever you like! I don't bother to care about you! You'd better go tomorrow, oh no, tonight! ”
