Chapter 19 The heart is happy, and the king does not know

Life still has to go on, and it does not stand still because of the coming of suffering.

Later, Fang Ruo would always be ashamed to show her right hand in front of people, her right hand was not cared for in time at that time, and then the back of her hand rippled and wrinkled, leaving a scar, and her skin tone was dark, not as smooth and delicate as the fingers of her left hand, so she would always apply a lot of hand cream and scar removal cream on weekdays, trying to cover and fade this somewhat ugly wound.

During the winter vacation, Xu Zhuoyuan's family was going to his hometown for the New Year, on the day of separation, Fang Ruo leaned against the window and watched him downstairs leave in a car with his parents, Xu Zhuoyuan waved at her upstairs, and his eyes were reluctant, Fang Ruo watched him get into the car, and then the car exhaust went away, leaving only a small piece of gray smoke.

The night before, Xu Zhuoyuan came to her, the two of them agreed to talk more after separation, and tell each other about the interesting things that happened around them, Xu Zhuoyuan asked Fang Ruoyuan to think more about him like a child, and let her learn more mathematics, and after he came back from the New Year, he wanted to check the problem, Fang Ruo also nagged and said a lot of things, Xu Zhuoyuan was tired of listening to her verbosity, but he still nodded and responded, like a well-behaved baby.

School is about to start, and she still can't fall behind in her studies, but her right hand is full of blisters, and she can't pinch the pen steadily, and she is in a cold sweat when she tries to write a few words.

But after all, she is a strong person, there is no condition she will create conditions, when writing she tried her best to curl up her right hand, open the stiff four fingers, thumb and index finger pinched the pen, secretly exert force, although the words are ugly, after all, can still endure the pain to write.

Xu Zhuoyuan saw her wound that day, her heart was distressed, her fingers were connected to her heart, how difficult it should be, Fang Ruo only smiled and said that it didn't hurt, Xu Zhuoyuan scolded her for being stupid, how could this not hurt, there were four or five pea-sized bubbles on her hands, which looked very stinging, Xu Zhuoyuan took a few ointments from home and gave them all, she accepted them all, and often told her to take care of them and apply more ointments during the call.

She only felt warm in her heart, as if the wound no longer hurt faintly because of his concern.

After the start of the new semester, Fang Ruo explained to the head teacher Teacher Yi that her hand was injured, so the teacher no longer let her run the blackboard newspaper of the class, her hand was not completely good, and it was close to the high school entrance examination, this was the last semester of her junior high school career, and she also wanted to have more time to study wholeheartedly.

After Fang Ruo and Chen Zifan made a simple explanation, they no longer worried about the blackboard newspaper, but she didn't say that it was because of her hand injury, but said that she wanted a little more time to study, and Chen Zifan also expressed his understanding.

In the course of previous conversations, Fang Ruo learned that Chen Zifan planned to be admitted to high school as an art major, which means that his cultural achievements could be relaxed a little, so the blackboard newspaper was fully entrusted to him.

Zheng Yuqian has always followed Xiang Zichen, they are in tutoring classes at the same extracurricular institution, and the two of them have become familiar with each other, and they always play and tease each other on weekdays.

Xiang Zichen is not nervous at all because the high school entrance examination is imminent, his father has been in the limelight in the city in the past few years, and has made a lot of money, so he has met a lot of powerful people, if he really can't take the exam himself, the family will also help him take care of everything, or transfer him to a key middle school, or go abroad to send out, there is always a good way.

As he gets older, his suave nature is finally revealed, he is handsome, and his personality is also generous and good to entertain on weekdays.

He also likes the initiative and enthusiasm of others, but he is ruthless everywhere and is short-lived in the end, a few days ago he was entangled with the class flower of the next class downstairs, and in a blink of an eye he was walking in the playground of the campus with a lower-level student, and the two secretly held hands and were seen by the teaching director on patrol, after catching back a thought criticism, the girl cried pear blossoms with rain, afraid that the parents would find out that they would no longer contact, and they would not do it.

These things are generally the old news of yesterday's yellow flowers when they reach Fang Ruo's ears, and Zheng Yuqian is naturally clear, she is not uncomfortable in her heart, but she does not dare and cannot express her feelings to him, she is afraid that seeing his surprised and hasty expression, then they may not even be friends, why do they have to be together if they like a person, they are so happy to accompany him, and they are satisfied to be by his side all the time. In fact, these concerns and trade-offs are all because she didn't see liking in Xiang Zichen's eyes, he didn't like her, there may be appreciation, habits, and happiness in his eyes, but he just didn't like it.

When she was in cram school, she helped him bring breakfast, and there was a moment of warmth in his eyes when he took the breakfast and thanked him, and when they chatted and quarreled, he always forgot what to say to make her sad, and whether she was still angry or not, she was still the last person to take the initiative to speak every time.

Fang Ruo felt sorry for her humility, and also persuaded her not to indulge in it and get out as soon as possible, Zheng Yuqian herself didn't want to do this, she just liked to be so arrogant and unreasonable, she was always involuntary and unquestionable.

When helping him find a way to pursue other girls, she said old-fashioned and attractive ideas like an outsider, and afterwards Xiang Zichen was always surprised by her meticulousness and accuracy, which made him try again and again.

In fact, she just brought herself into it, talking about what she liked, saying that she would be moved, thinking that it would be good if this person was her, even if he could have a moment of liking on her, it would be worth it.

During the chat, she plucked up the courage to ask him where he would go to high school in the future, and he casually said that his family would arrange for him to go to the best high school in the city, No. 1 Middle School, and she began to study like crazy, and if she was admitted to the same school as him, she could be by his side, no matter what her status, she just wanted to be with him.

She knows that with her current grades, she will not be able to get into the first middle school, at least she must be admitted to the top five in the class before she can hope to enter the first middle school.

She always studied late at night, sat on a chair in the classroom during the day and studied hard, dreaming and still memorizing classical Chinese, Fang Ruo also wanted to take the first middle school, they always went to the corridor to memorize political history during the lunch break, and the two supervised each other and cheered each other up, both for their own future and for the person in their hearts.

After more than three months of hard work, after the results of the last monthly exam, Zheng Yuqian's scores in other subjects have improved significantly, but English, which is still slightly behind, and the progress in the ranking still does not make her feel happy.

She looked at the English transcript and couldn't help crying, almost, almost, why is it so difficult, why can't she still reach her goal, there are still twenty days before the high school entrance examination, she only feels helpless grievances in her heart, she cried and memorized English words, and wrote English essays over and over again, just hoping that her English scores could improve next time.

Since Fang Ruo squeezed into the top twenty of the grade last time, her learning seemed to be sudden, as if she had found the right way to study, the teacher watched her progress with satisfaction, and her classmates were even more surprised that she was a fierce dark horse, and her unique talent was only now shown. But only she knows that these achievements are not talent at all, but rely on perseverance and perseverance day by day.

She has seen the sunrise at five o'clock in the morning, straightened up and got up to endorse when the alarm clock rang for the first time, brushed her teeth when washing at night, her gums were bleeding from too tired and weak fire, and when it was hot, people were drowsy and couldn't hold on to closing her eyes, so she pinched her thighs with her hands, just so as not to miss the knowledge point that might be tested in the teacher's mouth.

The occasional failure in math made her break down, but she wiped away her tears and continued to start over, all of which was so hard-won that only she knew.

Xu Zhuoyuan has been sent to a middle school, some time ago a middle school organized a recommendation test, each school in the city can recommend a few students from the school to participate in the entrance examination prepared by the first middle school, which is by the top teachers of the first middle school to make questions, in order to select outstanding student seedlings in advance, and form a special training class, this special training class every year more than ninety percent of the students can be admitted to the first-class university.

It can be said that all the outstanding talents in the city have gone to the exam, and several students with the top grades represented by Xu Zhuoyuan in the ninth middle school have lived up to expectations and have been admitted to this special training class.

Most people are still worried about getting into a key middle school, and he has already stepped into the door of a prestigious university.

Fang Ruo secretly worked hard in her heart, she knew that it was impossible to enter the special training class with him, but there was still hope for being admitted to the first middle school.

All the prosperity will eventually come to an end and then return to calm, and the miraculous high school entrance examination is just coming on an extremely ordinary day, two days, a few sets of papers, so that many people no longer have contact, each like a broken kite, to different distances.

After the last exam, Fang Ruo walked out of the examination room with the crowd, music began to play on the radio, there were still people jogging on the playground, the sky was slightly drunk purple and pink, like a girl's crimson cheeks, the people around were not as ecstatic and noisy as they imagined, everyone quietly packed up their things and went home, just like this was just a daily exam, but the sudden loneliness in their eyes seemed to make people suddenly understand that the junior high school era had really passed.

In an instant, she remembered countless days of working hard for the high school entrance examination, all of which are memories worth cherishing, at the previous graduation ceremony, Xu Zhuoyuan spoke on the rostrum as a student representative, Fang Ruo looked at his youthful freedom, her youth has always been so good and beautiful, and it is still her favorite appearance.

A hint of wind blew on his face, the hot weather had not yet arrived, Fang Ruo walked out of the school gate, looked back at the school as always, and then said softly, goodbye.
