Chapter Seventy-Six: Do You Believe in Fate?
After several days, Lin Ximeng did not reply to my messages.
Didn't she see it? Or did she ignore me at all and wouldn't reply to me?
I sat in the school infirmary, thinking nonsense. With a drip in his hand, his brain is hot. Maybe it's because of the water and soil, maybe it's because I miss her too much.
However, I was spared the pain of a few days of military training, which is the only thing that makes me happy.
The selection examination for the sublimation class was arranged on one day during the military training. With a high fever, I had more time to revise than others, so I prepared well and then took the exam. The content of the test paper is the same as the comprehensive science paper, but it is much simpler than the college entrance examination.
I really hope that the college entrance examination is this difficulty, then I will definitely be able to go to my ideal university, at least I can stay in Nanjing, stay by Lin Ximeng's side.
In the end, I successfully entered the interview with the 16th place in the written test, and I was the only one in the dormitory who made it to the interview. My roommates congratulated me and wanted me to be the pride of the whole dormitory.
But I knew that the next part of the interview was the biggest challenge, which was something I was completely new to and the least good at. I still haven't fully understood the way of communication in the human world, and I've been so nervous many times that I've almost scared back to my original form, especially in front of Lin Ximeng.
So, what kind of questions will you face in this interview? How to answer? There are also rumored interview questions in English, and I can't even cope with it in Chinese, let alone English conversation.
On the day of the interview, I walked into the classroom with great trepidation and stood on the podium as requested. There were three teachers sitting across from me, and they would ask each of them a question and rate me based on my performance.
The one on the far right looks like an English teacher, and he usually asks to introduce his family, hometown, or something in English, and I have prepared it, so it should be fine. On the contrary, the two male teachers on the left, their upright and serious appearance made me shudder, and my heart, which was not very nervous, suddenly thumped, accelerated continuously, and lingered.
What exactly do they ask? Will my answer satisfy them?
I stammered through the introduction of myself, and although it didn't work very well, I managed to get through the first question.
I saw that the male teacher in the middle threw the second question to me unhurriedly - "Do you believe in fate?" ”
I froze instantly, like a stone statue.
It's such an unbelievable question, and I would never have thought that a teacher would ask such a question.
This is a leading institution of higher learning in the country, a place to learn scientific knowledge and delve into science and technology, how can anyone talk about such a mysterious topic as "fate"? He's not kidding, is he?
I looked at the teacher in surprise and was silent for a long time. He was still expressionless, staring at me with a fierce look in his eyes, full of wisdom, and as if he had hidden a sharp arrow aimed at me. It seems that he is serious.
But why did he ask this? What did he want?
I felt that my underwear was a little sticky, probably soaked with cold sweat that was constantly pouring out at this time. It's really uncomfortable, I can't be so silent anymore, as a teacher in a college or university, I should be inclined to seek truth and be pragmatic and advocate scientific thoughts.
"I don't believe in fate!" I said.
"Why?"
"People will call a lot of things that can't be explained as fate, which is a superstitious statement. However, I think there must be a scientific explanation behind all phenomena. We study hard and study hard to break the destiny ...... through science and technology."
Under the sheer guidance of the stream of consciousness, I hurriedly said a bunch of things, not knowing what to say, not knowing why I said this, not knowing how I remembered to say this.
The teacher didn't ask much, just listened to my narration with a smile on his face.
I don't know if I've got it right, I just feel like I haven't answered the question yet, even though the interview is over. Actually, I want to say that I believe in fate, but I can't tell if fate really exists, I can't judge whether I really believe in fate.
Does fate exist? When I was promoted to junior high school, I played abnormally and pressed the score line of the best junior high school in the city, and then I was lucky enough to be admitted to the key class in the placement test after admission; In the high school entrance examination, I once again performed abnormally, pressing the score line of the best high school in the city to enter, and then I was lucky to be admitted to the key class again in the placement test after admission; Similarly, in the college entrance examination, I continued to play abnormally, pressed the score line drawn by Zuo Yong University, and then participated in this part of the placement test equivalent to the key class. Could it be fate? Will it be fate's pact with me? If so, fate will arrange for me to be able to enter the sublimation class this time.
Doesn't fate exist? When I liked Yan Jinfeng, I thought that I could share a table with her not long after, and I really shared a table with her. When I liked Lin Ximeng, I fantasized about sitting in Lin Ximeng's position in that mock exam, and it turned out that I was really taking the exam in that position. This must be fate, right? However, I couldn't be with Yan Jinfeng after all, in the eighth year that I liked Yan Jinfeng. So in the eighth year that I liked Lin Ximeng, will I also part ways with Lin Ximeng, or will it not be the eighth year at all?
A few days later, at the entrance of the cafeteria, the list of selection exams was announced. I huddled in the crowd, nervously searching for my name on the list. Finally, I saw that the column with my name was impressively written, and I finished 36th overall.
It's just a little bit worse, should I regret it, or should I be happy?
"Haha, fate? To hell with it! ”
The cold had been cured, and for the next few days, I participated in military training normally.
Under the scorching sun, standing in a military posture, I looked at the blue sky and white clouds on the horizon, as well as the merciless sun, and felt the burning heat under my feet. I keep thinking about some of the past events that happened in high school, and they are one good memory after another with Lin Ximeng, and they make me feel better.
I naively thought that Lin Ximeng was the girl I was destined to be, and fate would arrange for us to be together forever. I even prayed to Heaven for this, hoping that I would be favored by fate. Now it seems that it was all my whimsy.
After the military training, it is time to enter the formal study life.
On this day, the counselor called me and another classmate: "Do you want to join the sublimation class?" ”
"Uh, what do you mean? Isn't it just 35 people? I just happened to be in 36th place! I asked.
"That's right, two classmates in front of me gave up their places."
"Why did you give up?"
"You know, the regulations say that according to the regulations, the insurance research of the sublimation class can only protect the school, not the outside school. They were reluctant to accept this condition, and they considered that if they did well enough in the regular class, they could be released from the school. ”
"Oh, that's right."
"So, there are two more places, you are 36th and 37th, so I ask your opinions."
The student in 37th place readily agreed. I was lost in thought.
When I first read the introduction, I didn't notice this restriction? In the sublimation class, can I only protect the main school, but not the other school? If you are not in the sublimation class, if you have good grades, you can also keep your research and can you keep a foreign school? In any case, the latter is still more difficult than the former.
I didn't want to go to graduate school in the first place, I came for the opportunity to give me a graduate diploma for nothing, and I didn't want to be as tired as I was in middle school. Being able to enter the sublimation class, even if you don't want to go to graduate school in the end, you can give up your graduate qualifications and go out to work directly, which is already earned, how can you not accept it?
So, I agreed, and finally entered the information sublimation class.
Suddenly, looking back, the sunset on the horizon was as gorgeous as a phoenix's wings, and I smiled with tears in my eyes.
After failing in the entrance exam, and then entering the key class in the entrance exam, I didn't escape the arrangement of fate after all! So fate really exists! Lin Ximeng and I must also be a fateful pair! The current out-of-town must be temporary! I should redouble my efforts to keep in touch with Lin Ximeng, and when I graduate, fate will definitely arrange for her to be by my side!
Walking around the campus, you will be surrounded by a sense of youthful freedom. I am excited about the opportunity to successfully own the research institute, but I am also worried about the long time ahead. How can we survive these four long years, or even seven years? How do you keep in touch with Lin Ximeng? How to enhance the relationship with Lin Ximeng? Will Lin Ximeng go to graduate school?
From now on, this is a future without constraints, a future where you can decide freely, a future that only you can walk out of, and it seems that it is also full of fear and confusion because of the infinite possibilities.
Where does the road lead? Is it full of flowers, or is it full of sorrow? Is there a lot of thorns, or is it a thousand lights? Loneliness that has never been there, and wandering souls have nowhere to rest. Life is like this, where should feelings go?
Lin Ximeng in the mobile phone screen is still a carefree and cute girl, and her innocent gaze shoots directly into my heart, making flowers bloom everywhere.
I let out a long sigh, clicked on the address book again, and selected the column of Lin Ximeng, my fingers stayed on the call button, gently rubbing it repeatedly, and finally gritted my teeth and pressed it.
Nervous, restless, the heartbeat was faintly discernible in the gap between the dial tones......
"The person you are calling is temporarily unreachable, please call again later."
My hanging heart finally fell, but fortunately I didn't get through, otherwise I really don't know what to say.
In fact, after enrollment, the school cooperated with the supplier and has equipped each of our new students with a local mobile phone number. My mobile phone is dual-SIM dual-SIM, and I can receive it no matter someone calls my number in my hometown of Fengcheng or Changsha.
As for Lin Ximeng, their school should also equip them with a local number in Nanjing, will she also have dual cards? I'm afraid this is not necessarily the case.
And I only know her Fengcheng number. She never replied to my messages, and the phone couldn't get through. Perhaps, she is not dual-card.
Perhaps the only way to get in touch is QQ.
I opened QQ and was pleasantly surprised to find that Lin Ximeng's mobile phone QQ was hanging, and I sent a message: "Hi, Lin Ximeng, are you okay since you entered school?" My mobile phone number in Changsha is ......"
I look forward to Lin Ximeng's reply. However, as before, waiting is several days, QQ has been hanging, maybe it's just hanging.
