Volume 1 An Unexpected Farewell Chapter 5 The Day of the Equinox
With the help of alcohol, the atmosphere of the whole dinner rose to its peak. Staggered and talked to each other. Some are crying, some are laughing. Some people took the opportunity to do something that they didn't dare to do in three years of high school, and some people continued to hide in the corner and observe silently.
Ling Hai took a bottle of mineral water, walked out of the hotel, sat on a chair by the flower bed, looked up at the bright starry sky in the cool night breeze, empty his mind, and blew away the smell of wine.
"It turns out that you came out first, and I said I didn't see you just now." A voice sounded in the background.
"I don't usually drink, but today I drank a little too much, and my chest was a little stuffy, so I came out to breathe." Ling Hai looked back and saw that it was Meng Jie, and then got up and gave up a position.
"Me too, I'm a little dizzy right now." Meng Jie sat down and looked at Ling Hai, the starlight reflected in her eyes, like a bay of autumn water.
"Ling Hai, I don't know if you feel this way, although those classmates inside haven't communicated too much before, and some haven't even spoken, but when they are about to break up today, they are still very reluctant in their hearts."
"They are temporary, as long as you live well, there will always be a chance to meet again in the future." Ling Hai whispered with relief.
"After the scores come out, I want to travel, you... Do you have time? Suddenly, Meng Jie retracted her gaze and asked.
"Are you alone?"
"Of course not, there are a few girls."
"If it's okay then, you should be able to go."
"Good! That's agreed, I'll call you then," Meng Jie said happily.
"Uh-huh."
Afterwards, both of them stopped talking and quietly enjoyed the cool breeze.
No matter how happy the dinner is, there will always be a time for it to end. Under the organization and arrangement of the class committee, the students of class 304 spent an unforgettable night, and then woke up the next day and went home. Everyone officially said goodbye to their high school youth and continued their unpredictable lives.
While waiting for the results to be announced, Ling Hai stayed at home and helped his family while reading extracurricular books. Ling Hai's mother, Xie Wanqing, runs a small rotating hot pot restaurant alone, and this time Ling Hai is on vacation, so she can help her mother during the day and share some of the hard work for her mother, and Ling Hai is very happy about it.
Ling Hai has a good mother, she has never asked Ling Hai about his academic performance, Ling Hai's academic performance can achieve today's achievements, basically because of Ling Hai's own efforts. Studying hard is what Ling Hai wants to do, not what his mother wants him to do. She only taught Ling Hai how to behave and do things, and she said to Ling Hai: If you want to master your life, it is best to do what you should do first, and then do what you want to do. Ling Hai did it.
After becoming sensible, Ling Hai always wanted to share the pressure of life for his mother, but he kept his mother's words in mind. So, in school, he studied hard, enriched himself with knowledge and thoughts, and achieved good results. Now, after graduating from high school, he can help his mother without any worries, which is what he should do at this moment.
Time passed day after day, and finally it was the day of the college entrance examination. Ling Hai and his mother gathered around the computer, neither of them had a nervous look on their faces, some were just expectation. Ling Hai's mother just doesn't interfere with Ling Hai's study, it doesn't mean that she doesn't care about Ling Hai's study. This exam is largely related to Ling Hai's life, and his mother will naturally pay attention to it. After refreshing the webpage several times, Ling Hai's score came out, 724, two points higher than the previous estimate.
"Son, awesome! Now you should have no problem going to Jingbei University. Tell me what you want to eat today, Mom will make it for you. After confirming it twice, Ling Mu said happily.
"As long as it's my mother's cooking, I want to eat it." The little worry in Ling Hai's heart was completely gone, and he really didn't live up to his mother's expectations and his efforts.
"All right, you kid! Then mom will be in charge today, today we will eat cold matsutake mushrooms, angelica stewed chicken, and hairy crabs. Make up for you. ”
Just then, the phone rang. Ling Hai glanced at it and said to his mother, "I'll answer the phone, it's Liu Song." ”
Ling Mu nodded and said, "Tell him to come over for dinner in the evening, and I'll make a few more dishes." Ling Hai nodded, then clicked on the call.
"Haizi, how is it, there should be no surprise in the score!" Liu Song's loud voice came out of the phone.
"Well, it's about the same as the estimate, 724 points." Ling Hai replied.
"Congratulations, congratulations. By the way, I have found out about the elite class of the School of Biology of Jingbei University. The elite class only recruits 26 people in the Xia Alliance, and the 26 provinces and regions in the Xia Alliance only recruit one person in each province. Its treatment is exaggerated: 5 years, graduation is a doctorate, as long as there are no major mistakes during the school, you can join the FDOB after passing the political examination, which is the Alliance Biotechnology Department (FDOB) that has produced many scientific leaders. If you like biology so much, you must sign up, it is a special recruitment volunteer, even if you are not selected, it will not affect the first choice, and you can still enter Jingbei University with this score. If you are the top student in the college entrance examination in Southern Province this year, then this place is 100% yours, don't miss it! ”
"Yes, got it, thank you." Ling Hai said very sincerely after hearing this. "Also, my mother said to let you come to my house for dinner tonight, and the dishes have been bought."
“...... No problem! No problem! Just eat your champion banquet in advance, and wish you the top prize in the college entrance examination. After a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, the cheerful voice that belonged to Liu Song rang again.
"Well, that's it, remember to come over early. I won't talk to you more when I have a call coming in, and I'll talk to you later. Ling Hai's mobile phone just prompted Meng Jie to call.
"Okay, goodbye." Liu Song hung up the phone.
"Hey, Ling Hai, I'm Meng Jie. How many points did you get? ”
“724。” Ling Hai reported directly.
"Wow, that's congratulations, I'm only 719, I'm willing to bow down, this time you're the first, hehe!"
"Don't say that, rejoice and rejoice. Your long-awaited wish to go to Chinghoku University can also come true. ”
"According to the admission line of previous years, it should be able to get in if nothing else, then we will see you in Jingbei."
"Okay, by the way, my mom asked me to call my classmates over for dinner, do you have time tonight?" Ling Hai suddenly swallowed his saliva and asked.
"Ahh I'd like to go, but tonight my parents are at home entertaining relatives...... Say thank you to my aunt for me, and next time I have the opportunity to try my aunt's craft. ”
"Okay, I'll talk to her."
"That's the first thing, there's a guest at home again, I'm going to help, bye."
"Yes, bye-bye."
The phone calls on the day of the minute are always busy, and after answering a large number of calls from classmates, Ling Hai turned around and his mother was no longer by his side. He searched around the room and finally heard his mother's voice at the bathroom door.
Ling Hai's brows furrowed slightly, although his mother's voice was very low, Ling Hai knew that his mother was talking to that person. His mood was a little complicated for a while, but then he thought about it. The feelings between people are different, and he can't ask his mother to face that person with the same attitude and emotions as himself. So he didn't bother his mother and went back to his room in silence.
