Chapter 19 The motivation to struggle
It was a sunny day, and just after the lunch break, Hu Yulu, who was at the same table, ran to Mu Yan and said, "Look. There are only 100 days left until the college entrance examination! β
"So ?!! so fast" Mu Yan exclaimed.
"There's a countdown posted in front of the senior high school teaching building.,Oops,How do I feel nervous.,It looks like I'm going to hurry up and study.,There's a message on it.,Let's go.,Let's go and see!"
"Let's go, let's take a look." Mu Yan replied.
Then, Hu Yulu took Mu Yan to look at the countdown cloth hanging on the wall. I saw that the cloth in the countdown was densely filled with the heartfelt words of the junior high school students, but unfortunately Mu Yan's poor eyesight could only barely see a few words: "I believe, I will do it!" β¦β¦β¦β¦ Work hard and I will win! β¦β¦β¦β¦ Believe in yourself............ I'm here for the college entrance examination............"
Mu Yan sighed in her heart.
I don't know if it's because of the weather or what's going on, Mu Yan feels very tired these days, and she goes back to the dormitory to sleep after self-study, and the desk is gone, it's messy.
She woke up very early that morning, and when she arrived in the classroom, she always felt like something was different. She opened the desk slightly, and then saw that the drawers of the desk were stuffed with things.
Mu Yan didn't have to guess to know that it was sent by the second brother Li Zilong.
Mu Yan looked at a bunch of snacks, there were oranges, there were cookies, and there was a note in the language materials, Mu Yan thought she would write some private words, but she opened it and saw that it was written: "Grace life is full of states, use your brain!" Laugh in the mood for flowers, and smile when you open your mouth. β
Mu Yan clipped the note separately.
On the way back to the classroom after breakfast in the morning, Mu Yan saw her second brother Li Zilong standing in front of the window reading the newspaper in a good mood, she walked forward and slapped him from behind and left quickly.
Mu Yan knew that he was short on time now, so he was content to take a look. Who knew that Li Zilong stopped her behind her and followed.
"You don't read the newspaper anymore? When did you put those things in my drawer? Mu Yan asked in surprise.
Li Zilong didn't answer, smiled and shook his head, until he accompanied her to the door of her classroom, and then turned around and walked towards the senior high school teaching building.
Life seems to be very dull, Mu Yan and Hu Yulu often go to the blackboard newspaper of the third year of high school scores, looking at the situation of the third year of high school exams, Hu Yulu mainly wants to stimulate himself to keep working hard. In addition to stimulating herself, Mu Yan also paid attention to Li Zilong's exam.
ββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββββ
Mu Yan found that Li Zilong has been habitually reading the newspaper in front of the window next to Mu Yan's classroom recently, Mu Yan will go over and pat him on the back when he sees it and leave quickly, Mu Yan knows very well in her heart that the best way for him now is to stand far away and not disturb.
Even if you show concern, you should do so in a way that makes him feel comfortable. So although Li Zilong was always standing by the window in front of Mu Yan's classroom reading the newspaper during this time, Mu Yan only went up to say hello at most, and occasionally made a face at him when he was unhappy.
Zhao Yingjie can't see anyone anymore, since Zhao Yingjie's birthday knew that Xiaofang and his second brother Li Zilong had already classified them, they never had half of an intersection with him.
Mu Yan's initial caution about him seemed to be gradually smoothed out. On the contrary, she seems to be more worried about the second brother Li Zilong, occasionally met on campus, and when she saw him unhappy, she would rack her brains to make him happy, as if she was happy about this matter now.
Mu Yan also likes to stare at the crowd coming and going outside the window during extracurricular time, and tries to find the figure of the second brother in the crowd coming and going. Sometimes when it was time to eat at noon, she would deliberately stay until the end, and when she saw him, she quickly ran out and followed him to the cafeteria.
Although it was only a few minutes, Mu Yan found that they would have many different topics to talk about.
It was another monthly vacation to return to school, and Mu Yan and her classmate Hu Yulu had already cleaned up their things in the dormitory before leaving the school together.
Except for the dog Mu Yan who also raised a bottle of Tianzhu Kui, everything else is not an important matter.
Mu Yan happened to be with Hu Yulu, and when Mu Yan and Hu Yulu were walking around the corner, they ran into each other. Mu Yan was surprised and delighted. Although Mu Yan's eyesight has not been good, Mu Yan has begun to be fascinated by the back of the second brother Li Zilong, every movement on the second brother's body, and the posture of walking.
The second brother was still ten meters away from her at this time, and on the other side of the road, Mu Yan said hello to her classmate Hu Yulu and walked towards him, stretching out her hands and blocking the road like a little scoundrel.
Li Zilong had actually seen her a long time ago, but there were classmates next to her, so he hesitated, but he didn't expect her to run to her, although there was joy in his eyes, but it was not as obvious as Mu Yan's.
"Where were you yesterday?" Mu Yan never turns around when talking to him now, and asks whatever comes to mind.
"Qingming Festival to the ancestors to the grave." Li Zilong's answer was very simple.
"And when did you get to school?"
"Yesterday afternoon." Still simple words.
"Will you take me there?" Mu Yan suddenly burst out with a sentence that shocked even herself.
"No, where are your classmates still standing?" Li Zilong said and looked at the classmate who was following Mu Yan.
Saying that, Mu Yan also looked at Hu Yulu not far away, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in her heart.
"Where are you going now?" Mu Yan asked.
"Have lunch."
Mu Yan's obvious hope was gone.
This may be the long-awaited encounter.
Long before the holiday, Mu Yan already knew about Li Zilong's nervous situation in his third year of high school.
In the days of the holiday, Mu Yan turned on the CD player at home as usual, sang songs, and listened to music. I overheard the song that my second brother played to her last time in the Internet cafΓ©.
Then it was Mu Yan's turn to be surprised, the CD at home actually had the second brother's favorite song.
Thinking of this, Mu Yan smiled even more happily and smirked.
ββββββββββββββββββββββ
On the way back to school, Mu Yan was still immersed in the atmosphere of meeting her second brother Li Zilong just now, but Hu Yulu spoke: "I feel that you and your second brother are so cordial!" β
Although Hu Yulu is Mu Yan's tablemate, he doesn't know the story between Mu Yan and Li Zilong, so he naturally doesn't know that Li Zilong and Mu Yan are not related by blood.
Naturally, he felt that Mu Yan's intimate interaction with him was not like a brother and sister who were related by blood.
Mu Yan looked at Hu Yulu and smiled and said, "Really? β
"Yes! It feels like this brother of yours interacts with you more like a little couple, not like an ordinary brother. Hu Yu said thoughtfully while walking.
Mu Yan still smiled and said nothing.
"But then again, you are usually quite steady, and you are quite mature in front of us, like a sister, how do you feel like a childish ghost in front of your second brother."
"That's right, I'm a sister in front of him, of course I have to be naΓ―ve and cute." Mu Yan tilted her head and thought about it and said.
"The way you coquettish in front of him just now is really unbearable!!" Hu Yulu continued.
"Not everyone can see me like this, you have to feel lucky." Mu Yan said with a smile.
"Oops! Then I'm really lucky, I'm lucky to have three lives!! Hu Yulu continued to speak coldly.
"Hmph............" Mu Yan pretended to be angry and kept her mouth open.
But afterwards, Mu Yan thought about it and seemed to be like this, now she almost doesn't want to be coquettish in front of her parents, as if she will always start to be coquettish inadvertently in front of her second brother. This situation is simply unprecedented!!
Of course, during this time, Mu Yan's liberal arts class also conducted a large-scale four-school joint examination, and Mu Yan jumped from more than 40 in the class to the top 30 in the school.
This leap forward also surprised everyone, both teachers and classmates began to look at her differently, and then the head teacher, who had always ignored her, called her to the office.
"Mu Yan, you did well this time!" The head teacher said slowly.
Mu Yan didn't answer but smiled, she really didn't know what the head teacher was going to say, so she didn't dare to say anything casually.
"In this exam, your English score is the first in the class, and I heard the English teacher say that the other students did not do it right, and you did it right alone! The other results are good as well. This shows that you still have the strength! The head teacher continued.
Then he looked at Mu Yan and continued to stare at him with big eyes, looking at him a little restrained.
"Well, you used to sit on the edge of the second row, now you can move to the middle of the first row." The head teacher finally got to the point.
"Teacher, I don't want to change." For Mu Yan, she is used to sitting in one position and is too lazy to change, and besides, on the edge of the second row, she quietly studies when she wants to study, and secretly plays for a while when she wants to play secretly, and it is good to be free and comfortable.
The most important thing is to sit by the window, but I often see the second brother Li Zilong!! The second brother Li Zilong seems to have become one of the driving forces for learning. She must make herself better and better, so that she will not feel shorter when she stands in front of her second brother. She believes that she has the strength to stand with her second brother!!
"Why, isn't the position I changed for you also good?" The head teacher was surprised at this time, he couldn't imagine that he would give Mu Yan such a good position, and she actually refused.
"I'm used to the environment." Mu Yan continued.
"No, you have to change, you and Hu Yulu did very well in this exam, if you are afraid that you are not used to it, then you still have to be at the same table, but you all have to sit in the middle of the first row."
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
Sometimes it's not used to being used to the same thing, but it's really not used to separation. Mu Yan thought that she was still a little uncomfortable when she first arrived in that corner, but after a little longer, she liked that position.
She has long been accustomed to that corner that is easy to be forgotten, used to the silence there, accustomed to his inconspicuousness, accustomed to sitting there alone reading books, writing homework, and accustomed to watching the busy high school juniors coming and going outside the window, those are the motivation that motivates her to keep moving forward.
The teacher gave her a week to change her seat to where he said.
Mu Yan was really helpless about the head teacher's approach, and the head teacher must have thought carefully about transferring her to the middle, and it was also for her good, so she had to respond to the teacher's request.
So she was in a bad mood that day, but she saw Li Zilong, who was also in a bad mood. Neither of them wanted to talk, and the two of them just stared at each other and passed by.
However, Mu Yan, who returned to the classroom, began to blame herself for not taking the initiative to ask her second brother Li Zilong what was wrong just now. He really hadn't seen Mu Yan before and pretended not to see it, so there was only one situation: he was in a bad mood???
