"Sometimes take a step back and open the sky."

"What do you mean by that?" Li Xiao wondered.

"We analyze your results, although you are not online, it does not mean that you have not improved. Every time you take the exam, you will progress a little bit, and there will still be progress in the past year, which means that you are generally moving forward, this time you are a little worse, maybe if you work harder, you will improve a lot. ”

"Does it make sense for me to repeat year after year?"

"If you talk about it purely from the perspective of exams, I don't think it's meaningful, you are just a porter of learning, transferring knowledge from books to test papers. If from your own point of view, then every time you take the exam is to challenge yourself, closer to your goal, success will also beckon to you, if the results have reached this point, just give up, not only waste the previous effort, but also equal to giving up their future, it is a pity! Those who work hard govern people, and those who work hard govern people, don't you want to be a master? Don't you want to go to the ivory tower of the university like me? ”

"Hey, I don't know what I'm going to do if I don't repeat it?"

"Didn't I just say: take a step back and open the sky. Take the example from all around us. Such as that Wang, who was admitted to the junior college in the new year. And I repeated my studies for a year, improved by a few points, and went to the undergraduate line. Sometimes it's not necessarily better to pass the exam than to continue to repeat it. And those who are not admitted are not necessarily worse than those who are directly admitted. Do you understand when I say that? Maybe if you work hard, you can take a key undergraduate exam next year. ”

"Don't laugh at me, it's good to be online."

"It's good to have faith. It seems that you are in a much better mood, I am waiting for you at the university! It's not too early, so let's go back now. ”

"Well, I'm thinking about what you said today."

So, they walked and talked and walked back. When I arrived at my uncle's house, it was almost ten o'clock, my aunt was already asleep, and my uncle was still reading.

Seeing the two come back, he asked with concern: "Are you back?"

"Hmm." Li smiled and responded.

"Your cousin and cousin are not at home, so you will sleep in your cousin's room, and Liu Qiangjun will sleep in your cousin's room."

"Uncle, you're welcome, I'll sleep on the sofa. I'm going home today, so I'll just take it easy. ”

"How's that going to work?"

"Yes."

couldn't resist the stubborn Liu Qiangjun, and his uncle had to agree.

Sleeping on the bed, replaying everything that happened at night, thinking of the heat and scorching transmission from his palm, and remembering the special smell of men when he was close to him, Li Xiao couldn't help but shudder. Listening to the sound of even breathing on the sofa, Li Xiao's heart was surging for a while. Tossing and turning makes it difficult to sleep.

In fact, insomnia is not just Li Xiao. The same is true for Liu Qiangjun. For the first time, I protected the girls around me like a man, and for the first time, I held a girl's hand like a man. The girl's smooth and delicate skin, the sparse and dense breathing when approaching him, provoked his throat to tighten and his breathing stopped for a while, and now he remembered it as if he had tasted the forbidden fruit for the first time.

After getting up the next day, Li Xiao found that Liu Qiangjun had already left. My uncle said he went to school to fill out the volunteers. At this time, the uncle carefully asked Li Xiao's results. Basically, the results are not bad, mainly the physics lags behind.

"Let's go home and have a good rest, if you still want to continue, my uncle will help you find a way." Uncle comforted. The strange thing this time was that the uncle didn't say anything sarcastic, and looked at her with a smile, like a kind elder, accustomed to her cynicism, and suddenly there was no more, no wonder she was not used to it.

After breakfast, Li Xiao left his uncle's house to take the car.

After arriving home, there was another round of interrogation from my father, over and over again.

"Hey, I asked you to come back for the exam, but you didn't come back, and you got sick every time you took the exam, how can this kind of body behave." Father said with a sigh beside him.

"All of them are like this," my father has to pull out everyone's unsatisfactory things every time he chatters, one by one, it seems that he does not flaunt these burdens, others don't know the pressure he is under, but who knows that the more he cares, the more he cares, the more he cares, those pressures stick to him like kraft candy, he can't pull it off, he can't break it, the tighter he pulls, and he can't breathe well and his heart is haggard.

At this time, he will say that he is unsatisfactory when he meets people, like Xianglin's sister-in-law.

Li Xiao was very annoyed to hear this, shook his head and went upstairs to his room.

"What's next? Do you have to listen to your father's nagging at home every day? Li Xiao thought to herself.

I didn't sleep well last night, and after throwing myself on the bed, Li Xiao fell asleep thinking about it.

For several days in a row, Li Xiao was like this. I didn't dare to go out and didn't want to go out, so I stayed at home and slept like crazy.

Seeing that Li Xiao was in a bad state, her mother couldn't say a better word to comfort her, but she just cooked the meal on time every day and told her to get up to eat. My younger siblings are playing crazy everywhere during the summer vacation, and I can't see anyone all day long.

In mid-August, everything fell to the ground if I didn't get in. Before this, my uncle called and asked Li Xiao about repeating. The father said that he had contacted the Water Bureau High School. The quality is no worse than that of Jinning No. 2 Middle School. The online rate is high, and many of them will be admitted to key undergraduates every year. I heard that this year's champion of liberal arts is from the Water Bureau.

Listening to his uncle, Liu Qiangjun was admitted to ** University of Petroleum. In order to celebrate his admission to university, his father invited guests and showed movies, and he also made an enthusiastic speech when he showed the movie.

Thinking about his loneliness, he secretly made up his mind to repeat his studies seriously and get good grades.

One day at the end of August, Jiang Xiao suddenly came.

"I'm going to go to Guangdong to find Duan Bin." Jiang Xiao couldn't wait to say when he saw Li Xiao.

"You're just a little bit short of this time, if you work harder, you'll be on next year." Li Xiao persuaded.

"No, no, I'm so tired. If I continue to read like this, I guarantee that if I don't get into college, people will go crazy first. This kind of endless torture is not something that ordinary people can bear, and people with a character like me can't resist it, and they are doomed to failure. Jiang Xiao said passively resisted.

"You went to Guangdong to look for him, do you know where he is?" Li Xiao asked.

"I inquired about the school. If you ask at the school, you will definitely find it. ”

"Crazy. Do you think he'll pay attention to you? If you want to deal with you, you will be sorted out as early as school, and you will be asked to go around most of China to find it. Jiang Xiao, wake up, he doesn't mean that to you, don't make a fool of yourself, okay? Looking at Jiang Xiao's madness, Li Xiao struck.

"I don't care, I just want to ask in person, I want an answer, I want a clear answer. Do you understand? Even if it's a crush, I'm going to get a result. Regardless of the outcome, there must be an answer. Jiang Xiao insisted.

"And how do you get there?" Seeing that she couldn't move, Li Xiao changed the topic and asked her plans.

"There are people in my village who work in a hair salon, and I want to find them while I work."

"Where's the boy last year?"

"I don't like him, he knows that I didn't get in, he comes home every day, and urges adults to come to the door to propose, I'm annoyed to death. This time I went to Guangdong, one is to escape relatives, and the other is to find someone. ”

"Does your family agree?"

"I've got the money, and I'm going to sneak away while they're not looking."

"That's okay, I hope you get your wish, and you must take care of yourself outside."

"Well, you too."

The two hugged each other, and Li Xiao's tears moistened.

This separation, when they see each other again, they are already different people, different fates, different lives. That's for another time.
