Section 9: The Beginning of Love (Revision)
The excitement of winning the runner-up in the high school group of the inter-school three-on-three competition "Siyuan Summer Cup" has not yet dissipated, but Li Xin, who has poor grades, has to face the test of the final exam immediately. According to the school's rules, if a member of the school sports team fails any of the semester evaluations, they will be temporarily disqualified. Li Xin, who was selected for the school team just now because of her excellent performance, doesn't want to lose her participation in the city's summer high school league because of her exam results. Basketball is a popular sport in Siyuan Middle School, but if you want to talk about the strength of the school's basketball team, it is far from reaching the bottom of the strong, but it was not until last year that the school team of Han Chongyu and others entered the top 16 in the city.
This year, because of the outstanding performance of "Lan Meng Boy", coupled with Han Chongyu's increasing maturity and the still incumbent senior players, it is really promising to enter the final stage of the city's competition, and is even expected to attack the two qualifications for the national league and represent Shanghai in the national league.
The day of the exam is approaching little by little, although Li Xin has some scruples, but she really can't calm down and read the book carefully for a few hours, as long as she sees the basketball on the table and hears the shouts of others outside the window, she can immediately drop the book, pick up the basketball and go straight to the playground.
In the end, the test results still came down, although he felt that he had done his best, but Li Xin still had a math that was stuck outside the passing line, and when she saw the report card, she was dumbfounded. The first opportunity to represent the school in a competition as a freshman in high school was lost. Although Zhuo Yifan is also a poor student, he miraculously stumbled on the passing line and passed the grade. This made Li Xin jealous.
Seeing that others were actively preparing to participate in the city competition, Li Xin only had to accept make-up classes to prepare for the make-up exam. The loneliness and loss in my heart contrasted sharply with the warmth of midsummer.
According to the schedule, the five-day period from July 2nd to July 6th is the tutoring before the make-up exam, and most of the teachers are too busy marking the exam papers to take care of those make-up candidates, but the result of letting these poor students go is undoubtedly a red light again. Therefore, some top students are invited to help the tutoring candidates, which is naturally paid, but it is more or less a matter between the tutors and the top students, and the teachers just charge some handling fees.
Because it was only a failing course, Li Xin chose one-on-one tutoring.
The selection of top students is randomly generated like a lottery, and the teacher writes their names on the same size slip of paper and then turns it over for the make-up candidate to touch.
"I really don't know why I want to play such a game at this time? If you're a little unlucky and meet a 'so-called' honor student, then ......," Li Xin thought to herself.
The list of randomly selected top students has the name of "Zhang Xiaoxue, a member of the study committee of the first (2) class of high school".
The teacher told Li Xinzhang's contact information and let the two parties decide on the specific review schedule for themselves.
Li Xin, who is not good at words, spent more than a dozen rounds in the telephone court on the street, lingering for a long time on the question of whether to make a phone call. And a long talk from a passer-by finally dispelled his idea of calling.
Li Xin finally decided to look for Zhang Xiaoxue according to the address. The address on the paper was about 20 minutes away from Li Xin's house, and after groping for about half an hour, I finally found the corridor of Zhang Xiaoxue's house.
"602, that's so high! What should I say when I meet her later? ”
"Or am I a make-up examinee and came to find a top-honor......s student to make up the class?"
"May I ask you ...... Xiaoxue ...... Is it? Every time she wanted to read Xiaoxue's name, Li Xin had to lower her voice and brew carefully for a long time, Xiaoxue's name was like a dumpling stuck in a teapot, and she couldn't pour it out of Li Xin's mouth.
"May I ask you ...... Xiaoxue ...... Is it? Li Xin continued to mumble lines as she went upstairs. At the end of the second staircase, the voice of the young girl could be heard:
"Xiaoxue, the soy sauce at home is gone, and the vegetables are about to be paste, go buy a pack!"
"Oh, let's go, one bag is enough!"
Then came the sound of the girl putting on her velvet slippers and hurrying downstairs.
"Excuse me, are you... Xiaoxue... Is it? Excuse me, are you... Xiaoxue... Is it? Although Li Xin raised her head, her mouth was still not idle. The girl hurried down the stairs as if she were flying down the stairs, not noticing that anyone would be going up the narrow staircase at this time.
"Boom!" There was a sound on the ground, and the girl and Li Xin collided, Li Xin was hit head-on, although she tried her best to keep her balance, but because the girl also lost her center of gravity, she threw herself at Li Xin and rolled down the stairs.
"Be careful!" Li Xin cried out in horror, fearing that the girl would be injured, so he took advantage of the situation and put his arms around the girl, but in fact, his situation was much more dangerous than Xiaoxue.
With the screams of the two, they both rolled to the fifth floor. The girl was almost uninjured because of Li Xin's protection, but Li Xin was really hit several times, and the skin on her hands and knees was broken, and blood flowed.
"Ah, it's all my fault, I'm sorry! I'm sorry! It doesn't matter to you! ”
"It hurts me to death, even if I pass the make-up exam, I probably won't be able to catch up with the game."
"You...... Are you Li Xin? The girl recognized the basketball hero of the first year of high school.
"Excuse me, are you... Xiaoxue... Is it? Xiaoxue's name was so light that it was almost inaudible.
For two seconds, the two looked at each other and were stunned.
It was the girl who couldn't help but laugh first. "Haha...... you're so funny!"
The girl's laughter eased the boy's embarrassment, but the girl's laughter led to the movement of her whole body without noticing that she was still on the boy's body.
"Ah, it hurts!" It wasn't until Li Xin cried out that the girl realized the awkward position of the two.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." The girl got up in a hurry, although she lowered her head, her flushed face was seen clearly by Li Xin, who fell to the ground; While tidying up his messy clothes in small movements.
Xiaoxue's mother heard the noise and went out to investigate, and after learning the reason for the incident, she repeatedly criticized her daughter, but Li Xin also inadvertently said what she meant. Xiaoxue took out the medicine box at home, and while still apologizing, she carefully applied medicine to Li Xin, although the process of applying medicine was very painful, Li Xin couldn't help but scream several times, and a lot of sweat beads oozed from her forehead.
The girl said that she would be fine like a child, but the heartache was still written on her face, although it hurt, Li Xin actually hoped that the process of taking medicine would be longer.
Xiaoxue's mother was very enthusiastic and left Li Xin for dinner. Although it was an ordinary dinner, it was like a delicacy for Li Xin, who was used to eating boxed lunches and instant noodles.
On the first night, just the two of them arranged a review plan for the next few days, and after reviewing the first and second chapters, it was already ten o'clock in a blink of an eye, and Li Xin reluctantly left Xiaoxue's house.
Back in the empty home, Li Xin, who was lying on the bed, couldn't sleep, the picture of Xiaoxue falling, the picture of her cheeks flushing, the picture of getting up and carefully tidying up her clothes, the picture of worrying when she took medicine for herself, the picture of explaining during review, and the picture of her long hair naturally falling on her books and arms when writing appeared in her mind again and again, making it impossible to sleep peacefully, so she spent a sleepless night tossing and turning.
