Chapter Seventy-Nine: Pride and Prejudice
The person who knows you best may not be your lover and may well be your enemy.
Since Ye Linghan moved into the 401 dormitory, he found that Wang Yaxuan and himself are extremely similar in many ways, in addition to having a very high IQ and emotional intelligence, the two also have the same artistic appreciation, high requirements for quality of life, and a tendency to pay more attention to spiritual enjoyment. Of course, it is still difficult for them to get together with each other in terms of food and hobbies.
If the classroom is a public place for students, where everyone reads and learns, it is your public image that is displayed. Then when you come to the dormitory, you will bring the other side of your home to the school, which is a true portrayal of your private life, and you can show everyone your true self in all aspects.
Although she only returned to the dormitory during her lunch break, Ye Linghan found out from the limited private time that Wang Yaxuan was actually a very real person, and she was no different from in the dormitory and in the classroom, giving people the same feeling. If it weren't for the same boy, the two of them would have become confidants, because seeing each other is like feeling another self.
But he is just in the middle, and before the final result is determined, it is impossible for the two to become close friends, and even if the result is obtained, the two are likely to be confidants.
However, all this does not prevent them from appreciating and respecting each other, and they can still be friends who cherish each other without touching on fundamental principles.
Because she is Ye Linghan and because she is Wang Yaxuan, they have their own pride, and they have their own way of competing and getting along.
"Ling Han, borrow your cleanser."
The new dormitory is equipped with a single bed at the top and a desk and wardrobe at the bottom. The 6 people sleep opposite each other on both sides, leaving a passage in the middle to the balcony, and the bathroom is on the left side of the door. 401 dormitories. Wang Yaxuan and Ye Linghan are in the opposite middle bunks, which to a certain extent indicates the dominance of the two in the dormitory.
Before today's lunch break, Wang Yaxuan found that she had run out of cleanser, so she walked under Ye Linghan's bed opposite to borrow it.
"It's okay, let's use it."
Ye Linghan, who was lying at the head of the bed above, was reading a book and replied casually.
She knew that Wang Yaxuan had similar tastes to herself, and even the cleanser was of the same brand. It is common for girls to borrow and use each other's daily necessities.
"Thanks, you'll need to use my welcome in the future."
After washing her face at the balcony sink, Wang Yaxuan quickly put the cleanser back on Ye Linghan's desktop.
The English version of Pride and Prejudice. I heard that it was a new book that had just come back from the library, and I didn't expect it to be borrowed by you. β
When she put the cleanser on the desk below, Wang Yaxuan looked up at the cover of Ye Linghan's book.
"Just lucky, you like this book too?"
Ye Linghan turned his head to the side and replied downward.
"yes. This is one of the greatest romance novels in the whole world. I admire the heroine Elizabeth's assertiveness and courage in love. Man's destiny is still in his own hands. β
Wang Yaxuan, who had just washed her face, looked up, and there were a few water droplets attached to the ends of the hair on her forehead, and the sunlight was refracted through the dormitory window, and the water droplets fell on the water droplets to make the girl's eyes particularly bright.
"Compared with the tragedy of the century of Romeo and Juliet, Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai, I prefer the happy ending of Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy in this book."
Closing the book gently, Ye Linghan reached out to pull the mosquito net open, looked sideways at the long-haired girl below and said seriously.
"The regret of tragedy is always impressive, but the consummation of comedy is always satisfying. Looks like you're looking forward to your Mr. Darcy showing up. β
The discussion between the two on the issue of books gradually led to reality, and Wang Yaxuan glanced at Ye Linghan meaningfully and said.
"Burying your feelings too deeply is sometimes a bad thing. If a woman hides her feelings for the man she lovesβ"
Ye Linghan whispered the above half of the sentence. This is a classic phrase that has been widely circulated in Pride and Prejudice, and then looks at the long-haired girl with the same meaning.
"She may have lost her chance to get him!"
Without dragging her feet, Wang Yaxuan completed the famous solitaire of the second half of the sentence with a smile.
"As soon as Mr. Darcy appears, my name will be changed to Elizabeth Leaf."
At this time, Ye Linghan began to answer the question that Wang Yaxuan had just raised.
"If it were me, I'd just change my name to Mrs.Darcy."
Without showing weakness, Wang Yaxuan also said her choice.
"Haha-"
Seeing each other's somewhat serious and mischievous conversations, the two girls laughed together.
"May you find your Mr. Darcy soon."
"I also wish you a speedy becoming Mrs. Darcy."
After finishing speaking, the two girls fell silent inexplicably.
Because we all know that it is likely that Mr. Darcy has only one, and they are two people.
This means that one of them will probably never be able to fulfill the dream of love just now.
β¦β¦
"I'll pass it on to you after reading it, if you need it."
Raising the book in his hand, Ye Linghan took the initiative to break the cold road.
"Okay, I don't have to wait in the library again, thank you."
After Wang Yaxuan thanked her, she turned around and returned to her bed opposite.
Back in bed, during the lunch break, the two girls tossed and turned and did not fall asleep, and they couldn't sleep because they had their own hearts.
It seems that the 50% chance is actually 100% and 0%, either win or lose, but I don't know who will have the last laugh, and who will be disappointed?
At this moment, the same thought came to both of them - they hoped that the day when the results would not be revealed.
Because, in fact, none of them can afford to lose.
In the men's dormitory 307, no one sleeps either, because everyone is happily discussing where to go to college.
"If you do well in the exam, you will go to Tianjing, and if you can't do it, you will stay in Jiangzhou, anyway, our province Jiangsu and Zhejiang University is also among the top 10 in the country."
A boy said loudly while lying on the bed.
"It is not difficult for our school to go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang University in the provincial examination, after all, there are at least 1,000 places in the province. Top schools outside the province generally only provide about 50 places for us to save points. For example, last year, Tianjing University enrolled 42 students in our province. Huaqing University is 45 people. β
Tan Ming explained to everyone like a treasure.
"That means that if you want to read the top 2 in our country, you have to squeeze into the top 87 in the provincial exam. To be in the top 87 out of 250,000 candidates is still very exciting and extremely difficult to think about. β
Shen Qin began to interject to participate in the discussion.
"Wrong. You haven't considered the liberal arts and sciences yet. Last year, Tianjing University recruited 25 people in the province, and Huaqing University recruited 32 people, in fact, according to our study situation, we should be admitted to the province's 57 people to be qualified to speak. Of course, based on two-thirds of the total number of science students, you only need to break into the top 57 out of 170,000 people. β
is still Tan Ming, he continues to use data to popularize the tragedy of the college entrance examination for everyone.
Although Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School is the first high school in the province, it is being chased and intercepted by other high schools. Especially under the watchful eye of the city-level champions, it is still difficult to enter the 57-man list.
The comprehensive quality of Jiangzhou No. 1 Middle School students is very high, but they are on the battlefield of the college entrance examination with scores as the only criterion. It is not necessary to pass the top students of prefecture-level high schools. Last year's results in the college entrance examination of the first middle school have shown this sign, and the overall is okay, but there are fewer top-notch students than local municipal high schools. Therefore, Principal Zheng Liguo will make bold moves to promote new teaching reforms. Both quality. And the score again.
"Actually, there is a little bit of relaxation because there will be students in the top rankings who choose other top universities, which will free up some mobile places. Last year, 5 students gave up the top2 due to major problems and chose well-known universities such as Hudong University that were slightly lower than half a level. β
The data at his fingertips allowed Tan Ming to establish himself as an expert in everyone's hearts.
"Cut, it's only 5 people, basically it's not too wide a requirement."
The first boy began to complain.
"There is no way, the top 2 Tianjing University and Huaqing University are the top universities in China. If you got such good grades, wouldn't you put your first choice here? However, if we can't get into the TOP2, we still have this strength in other TOP20 universities. Last year's college entrance examination. 90% of our school's graduates have gone to the top 20 universities, and it is not a shame to say it. β
"So where does the 10% go?"
Another student who wasn't involved asked.
"If you go abroad, or go to a highly specialized university such as aviation, military or something, the worst thing is, of course, repeating."
Qin Ran also raised his ears to listen to Tan Ming's introduction, to be honest, he really didn't know about this news. When he was able to stand out from 400,000 people and be admitted to Tianjing University, he felt that his strength was quite passable.
"According to my personal opinion, you don't have to worry too much, if you don't have a hard heart to get into the top2, the college entrance examination is still very comfortable for us, and you can enter the top20 if you play normally. Of course, if you still have higher requirements and want to compete for the champion, then the best local middle school champions in 11 prefecture-level cities, 32 municipal districts, 22 county-level cities and 35 counties in the province are watching you. Last year's science champion came from a county-level middle school, the liberal arts champion was taken away by our Jiangzhou City Normal High School, and the single-subject champion was also divided into other prefecture-level high schools, otherwise our principal Zheng would not have been so angry and made a military order. β
may feel that his remarks have brought pressure to everyone, but Tan Ming did not forget to comfort everyone.
"Alas, I don't want to be the champion, I want to go to Hudong City to study, and I can go home more often than near our province."
"I also want to take a look outside the province, there are still many good universities in Tianjing, so let's talk about the results when the time comes."
"I'm also struggling, I don't know whether to choose Tianjing or Jiangzhou, so I have to take one step at a time."
The last to speak was Shen Qin, who still couldn't make a choice for college.
"Hey, Boss Qin, what do you think, where are you going to study?"
Shen Qin saw that Qin Ran had been silent, so he specially greeted.
"Tianjing, but it also depends on the results. I think if you decide where to develop, it's best to go to a local university, not only to familiarize yourself with the environment in advance, but also to have the attributes of the local university, and finally give you a free hukou. Otherwise, after you graduate, you will have to travel thousands of miles to find a job in other places, and you will suffer a lot. β
Qin Ran is a person who has come over and gave everyone some practical advice. Everyone is young and frivolous, each has its own opportunities, and it follows fate if you don't listen to it.
"Well, if you study in the same city then, don't forget the brother who sleeps on your top bunk now!"
Talking about going their separate ways after graduation, he was a little sad, and Tan Ming finally roared. (To be continued......)
