Chapter 6: The Difficult Choice of Liberal Arts and Science Classes
The sixth round of arts and sciences is a difficult choice
Time is very fast, the end of the semester is in a blink of an eye, and it is another exam period, this is Xiaoyu's most tormenting day, the exam is too difficult for her, so many questions will not be done. Because of the single person and single table in the exam, she and Liyan are not in the same examination room this time, but before each exam is over, Liyan will stand outside the Xiaoyu examination room, waiting for her in silence. "Why are you so fast" At the end of each scene, she had to ask the same question when she saw Liyan outside.
"Can you change the sentence", Liyan seemed to be dissatisfied with Xiaoyu's words, "For example, why are you so good, how can you take the exam like a fish in water, the same sentence every time, how can I answer?" ”
"Oh! Then why are you so powerful! Xiao Yu repeated, but obviously without a questioning tone.
"And why? I'll do it all! Idiot! Li Yan said disdainfully, "Let's go, I'm done with the exam, I'll take you to a good place."
They came to the Rain Bridge, "The good place you said is the Rain Bridge?" ”
"yes!"
"Well, it's really a good place, a good place to pass by every day", Xiaoyu reluctantly.
"Keep walking! Go below", it turned out that they went to the bottom of the bridge pier, it was very cool under the bridge, there were big stones, you could sit on it, and generally in the evening there were many people who came here to swim in the water, because the pool under the bridge was relatively deep. "Swimming, will you not", Xiaoyu shook his head and said nothing. "Alas! Who are you! Which planet is a stupid hat, you can't swim, you can't ride, you can't sing, you can't learn, I really don't know, what you know", Liyan said with a slight mockery.
"Who said dance! I'll do this a little bit" Xiao Yu saw him belittle himself like this, and retorted a little unhappily.
"Dancing? It's true? Haven't heard of it! He expressed surprise and disbelief.
"When I was a child, I took a dance class, and the school also had a dance class, so I knew a little bit"
"The provincial city is different, our children in the mountains don't have such good welfare", Liyan laughed at himself. "Tell me a while?" Liyan had a forced and tentative tone.
"That's a short paragraph, it's a pity that there is no music" Xiao Yu said and stood up, her action made Liyan wonder that this time it was so refreshing, she didn't like to show that she seemed to be in a sunny mood today.
"Then you can bring your own music."
"Don't comment, don't talk", Xiao Yu said and stood up straight and brewed her emotions, but she simply did a few movements like swallows flying, similar to the classic movements of Yang Liping's Spirit of Sparrows. And then it stopped
"That's it?"
"Huh?"
"Nothing?" Rhetorical questioning.
"It's nice to have you a look, and so much more! What a luxury for you, not satisfied" Xiao Yu showed a pride that he had never felt before.
"How do you feel, feel like a cramping chick?" I said it very seriously.
"Okay, am I doing the wrong thing? How could I be so idiotic that I would want to jump to show you? Xiao Yu was angry with herself, thinking that Liyan would appreciate it, but this result made her face immediately gloomy, "My parents," she paused and continued, "They had a car accident, and when they took a detour home to buy me a pair of skates", she recounted in a heavy voice. Liyan's heart also became heavy, he had heard about his parents' car accident, but he didn't know that there was a story about a pair of skates, and he vaguely understood the sadness that often appeared in Muyu's eyes.
Liyan was silent, quietly watching Xiaoyu, listening to every word she said, "I don't know how to comfort you, I just hope that sadness can go with the wind"
Before Liyan could finish speaking, Xiao Yu interrupted him, "At that time, I would like to choreograph a dance "A True Story" by myself, I want to wear skates to perform this dance and make the red-crowned crane more agile", saying that she actually had tears left again. "I could never have imagined that in order to buy these shoes, they drove a detour home and had an accident while crossing the moat", she was even more saddened, she never said these things, only she knew. When she said it today, the regret and pain she had held in her heart for a long time all cried out with tears.
Jing Liyan, who usually talks and talks a lot, is silent at the moment, he wants to comfort her, but he doesn't know how to comfort her, because he is also in turmoil.
Soon a week passed, and it was time to get the transcript, and the teacher in the classroom announced the results this time, focusing on the choice of liberal arts and sciences classes, the next semester will be the third year of high school, and it is time to struggle, in fact, Xiaoyu has always thought about choosing liberal arts in his heart? Or science? But at this moment, she was still very hesitant when she wanted to report, because she didn't study liberal arts well, and science was even worse, and choosing liberal arts should be a little better for her than science, but there was a voice in her heart that asked her to choose science, she felt that after so long running-in, she finally became familiar with everyone, if she chose liberal arts, she would have to leave this class, and the school stipulated that the science students in the key classes should stay in the original class, and the liberal arts students should be separated to disrupt and reorganize. At this moment, Liyan was also very nervous, he really wanted Muyu to choose science, because he wanted to be with her, it was as simple as that, but he didn't dare to ask her, nor did he dare to probe her tone, only anxiously and nervously waiting.
"Jing Liyan, science?" When Jing Liyan was called, the head teacher deliberately raised his voice.
"Well, science, liberal arts have nothing to do with me", Liyan immediately came back to his senses and confirmed to the teacher. In fact, everyone knows in their hearts that a scholar like him is destined to be the material for studying science, of course, he is all-round in arts and sciences when he is not classified. Even the language killer for boys is like a fish in water for him, and he writes good articles.
"Duan Yujiang, what about you?"
"I, -- science!" Xiao Yu was shocked by the two words of science that he said, and the other classmates and teachers were also surprised.
"Will it work?" Liyan squeezed these three words out from between his teeth, and his voice was smaller than a mosquito's humming
"I don't know," Xiao Yu replied confusedly.
This year's summer vacation is different from the past, because of the third year of high school, to make up classes, Xiaoyu took advantage of the short vacation to go back to the border city, met a few former friends and friends, chatted happily for two days, and then visited his parents, and then hurriedly returned to the Blue Mountain. However, Liyan is looking forward to the start of school, because he can see Xiaoyu every day. The time that passed in a hurry, all immersed in the thick review materials, the head teacher said that everything should start from scratch, what was learned before, what was not learned, all had to be re-taught from the first year of high school, which is redundant for Liyan, but it is really a great thing for Muyu, because she used to have too thin foundation, nothing, the word senior year of high school has given her great pressure, she used to not like to study, and now she is alone, but she thinks every day about how to improve her grades and how to solve the answer, But everything was tough for her, almost always starting from zero.
On August 4, 2003 (the seventh day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar), after dinner, Liyan disappeared, and returned to the classroom at the beginning of the evening self-study, saying that it was self-study, but in fact, the new head teacher was a chemical demon, he talked about two whole chemistry problems, and even did not let go of 10 minutes between classes. Finally the self-study is over, but Liyan mysteriously left a sentence "See you in the rain bridge"
On a summer night, the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, walking by the river and feeling the moon walking, I also go, the moon follows me to the village to the comfort, the cool breeze is blowing, the classmates should go home, the dormitory should go back to the dormitory, Xiaoyu walked slowly on the riverside road, she has been thinking about what will happen to her. Thinking about it, she walked to the bridge, Liyan had already looked at her from afar, and then Xiaoyu let go of her footsteps until Liyan came to her.
"Turtle! Even if you climb over, you can climb over! So slow" said, his right hand on the back of his left hand and the two thumbs kept moving, like a turtle's hind hooves swimming in the water, seeing this wooden fish knew that he was changing the square to make fun of himself again, she was still silent! Don't match. "Alright! Keep up" Liyan saw that the little fish did not react, and after a careful look, he turned and walked forward, and when they reached the river, the river rushed through the stones in the water and made a gurgling sound, and the moon shone in the water rippled, flickered, and jumped. Liyan took out two lotus lanterns from his backpack, which were still folded in paper, and the handiwork was not very good. After lighting the candle, hand it to the wooden fish. "Let it go, let it take away your sorrows, your pains, your past, make a wish"
The third year of high school is very nervous, all kinds of slogans, all kinds of materials, all kinds of exercises, all the teachers are accustomed to the sea of questions tactics, every day the blackboard on the calculus wiped and written, written and wiped, chalk wipe all the time filled the classroom, full of tension, everyone buried their heads in hard study, even the past leisurely and leisurely words are all day long to do questions, read books. Except for the need to communicate with each other to solve problems, they rarely have contact with each other at other times.
One day, the teacher suddenly talked about the college entrance examination volunteer filling and major selection, and everyone immediately turned their attention to this, and the long-lost heated discussion, "What about you?" ”
Xiaoyu turned his head, "I don't have any ideas, before!" I always want to learn to dance, and in the future, like Yang Liping, I will be a dancer with soul, life, and infectious energy, and now I don't have such a strong desire for this, after that incident, I am a lot more realistic, so I may choose finance and finance" She said in infinite reverie, full of longing, "I have to support myself, I can't rely on others, and I don't have parents to rely on", she was full of helplessness. "What about you?"
"I haven't thought about it yet," Liyan replied indifferently. This surprised Muyu, because Liyan was so calm that he always knew what he wanted to do and what he wanted. But this answer is obviously not his style, maybe he is perfunctory! Xiao Yu thought so.
In fact, in Liyan's heart, he likes chemistry, he once thought about learning chemistry and becoming a chemistry teacher, but in the eyes of outsiders, how could Jing Liyan, who has always been unconventional, have the idea of wanting to be a teacher.
The college entrance examination came as scheduled, and it soon came to an end. Xiaoyu applied for the finance major of S City School of Economics, and it was already very good to report this school with her results, but it was just enough for the second line, and as expected, it was still the first place in the school, and he applied for the internationally renowned Z University international finance major, of course, with his results, he could apply for a better major in this school, but he just chose international finance. It's just that the two of them have been in the south and the north since then, and on the eve of the journey, they made an appointment to see the wooden fish rain bridge, at night, it was very quiet, and the cool air hit people in the night of near autumn, and Liyan still arrived very early, only to see the wooden fish coming slowly, "Wooden fish, you can't swim faster", Liyan complained.
"Wooden fish can't swim in the first place!" Muyu retorted.
"Forget it, I'm used to it, come" I saw Liyan stretch out his little thumb again, more than a year ago, it was also here, he had stretched out his little thumb, but tonight, Muyu felt heavy, because she thought that they were about to separate, and her heart was sour.
"What are you doing?"
"Come here" Liyan pulled her and hooked Muyu's little thumb, "I won't change for a hundred years", "I will go to see you on National Day, and I will try to get a scholarship in the future, and I will often go to see you, but after you go, you are not allowed to see other boys, huh?" Remember, you are mine, wait for me" Seeing that the wooden fish was silent, "what are you?" Give a reaction! ”
"Hmm-"
"What the hell are you! Are you listening to what I'm saying? ”
"A hundred years is far away, and there is a great distance in time and space, which is insurmountable," Xiaoyu muttered quietly. Because she has no confidence at all, and she doesn't want to plan the future too early, she just wants to spend every sunrise and sunset peacefully.
It is said that Xia Wenjiao, the No. 2 scholar, rode a bicycle to say goodbye to Jing Liyan at dusk, and the sunset was brilliant on this day, dyeing half of the sky red. "Liyan, I'm going to separate in the future, I'm going to Z University, although there is some distance between our school, but I will continue to cultivate myself in the past few years, the distance between us will be smaller and smaller, I believe I can catch up with you. The distance of space is not terrible, but the distance of thought and cognition." Xia Wenjiao was admitted to Z University as she wished, but this Z University is not the other University, and it is also a famous university in the country.
"Well, congratulations, which university have you always wanted to go to?"
"Nothing else? Won't you say something more to me? “
"What do you need me to say?"
"College can change a lot, Xiaoyu, she is only very close to you for a short time, but you have no common topic, no common understanding, even now she is not in step with you, and there is a big gap."
"Gap? Inconsistent pace? I don't think you and I are very close, and I don't think Xiaoyu and I are so far away in your so-called thinking and cognition."
"Liyan, in the future, you will understand that if two people are not in the same step, one day, you will meet a more beautiful scenery in the distance ahead, and what she sees can only be your back, and over time it will form a gap, distance, chasm, estrangement, and finally break."
"Don't worry, even if she really can't catch up with me, I will pick her up and move forward"
"And what if she's tired and doesn't want to be dragged along by you?"
"Then I'll slow down, even if I'm standing still, I'll accompany her"
