Chapter 36 Unity of Purpose
After this incident, Cheng Kai never pestered Shang Xia again, and he didn't know if it was because he lost his popularity or what, so he completely put all his thoughts on learning.
Previously, everyone thought that he was just trying to make a show and impress Shang Xia, but now that the results came out, Cheng Kai directly swam from the bottom of the class to the grades, which made them impressed.
At this moment, Cheng Kai's seat was surrounded by a circle of people as usual, asking him for his learning secrets.
Shang Xia is still the same, as long as she starts studying, it is like she has turned on the airplane mode, and no one can disturb her, of course, there are exceptions.
"Shang Xia, the list of grades outside is out, why don't you take a look?" Mo Rou reminded.
"No, there's a lot of people now." I couldn't squeeze in if I wanted to, for fear of wasting time, Shang Xia simply went later, anyway, she had some confidence in her results.
"I can't, I have to go and see the food now, if you don't go, then I'll go by myself!"
"Okay."
After the bell rang for the first time, Mo Rou hurried back.
"Shang Xia, you are ranked second in the whole grade this time, three points short of the first!"
Needless to say, I also know that the first one this time is still Lin Ran.
"Eh, what are you sighing for, the second in the whole grade is already very good!" Seeing her sigh, the smile on Mo Rou's face stiffened, and then changed her words, "It's okay, it's just a few points, next time it must be the first!" ”
Looking at Mo Rou's nervous face, Shang Xia suppressed the loss in his heart and cheered up, "I love to hear this." ”
When the class bell rang, the two stopped deserting, for fear of missing any knowledge points.
After school, Mo Rou was called home for dinner by her father as usual, saying that she wanted to celebrate her progress this time, and Ben also called Shang Xia, in order to save time, Shang Xia simply resigned.
Walking alone on the school road, walking and walking to the edge of the school road.
When passing by the bulletin board, although Shang Xia already knew his results, he still couldn't help but take a look.
On the big red paper, the first name is Lin Ran, and then there is Shang Xia.
Three points, three points. Shang Xia was unwilling.
This feeling is like a passing point, if it is much worse, it will be more comfortable, but it is already so close, but it still can't compare to him.
"Which university are you going to apply to?" The familiar and pleasant voice blew to her ears like a breeze, and the vaguely felt snort burned her face, Shang Xia instinctively looked back, and almost knocked Lin Ran's jaw off.
Cheng Kai's small report before, it is estimated that it also affected Lin Ran, but he never heard any news, presumably he also successfully passed the torture of their head teacher, after all, ...... He's so smart.
But since this incident, Shang Xia was afraid of being pulled by his pigtails, so he simply didn't stay in the classroom during his lunch break, so he went to the library to avoid suspicion, hid and hid, and still saw him here.
Shang Xia is not the mind of a minor anymore, where does she not know, the so-called chance encounter is just that someone wants to meet you by chance.
"I'm sorry!"
Lin Ran rubbed his chin and said half-jokingly, "It's okay, I didn't expect your head to be quite hard." ”
"I didn't expect your chin to be so sharp." Shang Xia does not admit defeat, does not blow or black, this kind of back and forth, she can fight with others for an afternoon.
"Which school are you going to enroll into?" Lin Ran repeated again, returning to the topic that Shang Xia didn't respond to just now.
"Huaqing." She replied almost without thinking, as if something was twinkling in her eyes, "But there's still a year, isn't it a bit early to say this?" ”
How many candidates have pursued the best universities in China since childhood, how many times have they haunted their dreams, and how many times have they supported them to continue when they can't hold on?
Nobody knows.
Shang Xia didn't think about it so much, she has always adhered to one principle: to do your best.
With her current score, as long as there are no mistakes, there is no big problem in entering Huaqing, the question is, when will she be able to surpass the person in front of her and get back the first place that belongs to her.
"Coincidentally, I'm going there too." Lin Ran responded nonchalantly.
Guessing that he would say this, Shang Xia didn't respond, just smiled back.
The wind blew the leaves, and the girl's petal-like lips hooked a beautiful arc, Lin Ran's cheeks flushed instantly, and he immediately tilted his head to the side.
"What's wrong?" Shang Xia saw that he was a little abnormal.
"It's nothing, since the goal is the same, then let's work together!"
His voice was warm and clear, very good, Lin Ran left after speaking, and when he passed by her, his big hand with distinct bones gently rubbed her head.
As if her feet were stuck with glue, Shang Xia couldn't move her steps for a while, as if there was a deer crashing into her heart, God, she, a person who has lived for two lifetimes, was teased by an underage child?
"Shang Xia, what are you doing here?" The sudden sound pulled Shang Xia back to reality.
"Mo Rou? Why are you here? Didn't you go home for dinner? ”
"It's not a waste of time to go home, I just asked my dad to send it to me." Mo Rou carried the lunch box in her hand with a happy face, "Are you going back to the dormitory, together!" ”
"Good!"
After this kind of big and small exams, the final exam finally ushered in, although the second year of high school is not like the first year of high school, nor is it like the junior high school, the end of the year is after the end of the year, but it is also a very important exam, a few days before the exam, Shang Xia is even more learned, and swears in his heart that this time he must be better than Lin Ran.
It's a pity that Lao Zhang's words broke Shang Xia's rhythm.
"Come to the office."
Shang Xia was a little confused, what's going on? If I'm not mistaken, she and Lin Ran have hardly met recently?
With anxiety and apprehension, Shang Xia followed Lao Zhang to the office.
"Answer the phone, it's your dad."
Chen Yougui? As soon as she heard this name, Shang Xia's heart tightened, God knows, she has grown so big, Chen Yougui has never taken the initiative to look for her, and now the phone calls have come in, could it be that something happened to Shang Xiaohe?
"Dad, what's wrong?"
As soon as he took the phone, Shang Xia asked as soon as he opened his mouth.
"What are you talking so loudly for? Want to scare me to death? Chen Yougui said angrily, and then scolded a few words.
Seeing that Shang Xia didn't respond to a word, he only felt as if he had punched the cotton, and he was bored, so he got to the point.
"Aren't you going to have your final exam tomorrow? It just so happened that your mother killed the chicken today and told you to go home for a meal, and she is now busy in the kitchen! ”
This idea is indeed Shang Xiaohe's, seeing that the children in the third year of high school in other people's families are all parents who send soup and water every day, their family does not have this condition, and there is meat to eat today, just let Shang Xia come back and eat more.
"No, Dad, you can help me talk to Mom, I'm busy reviewing, so I won't go back, you guys can eat well!"
Shang Xia was too lazy to run at both ends and decisively refused.
"She said she wasn't coming back!" I only heard Chen Yougui yelling at something, and in the next second, the phone was answered by Shang Xiaohe.
"Xia Xia, come back, Mom made you your favorite salt-baked chicken."
As soon as he remembered the last time Shang Xia came back, Shang Xiaohe couldn't help but feel distressed.
The last thing Shang Xia could refuse was Shang Xiaohe, she said so, and she couldn't refuse again in front of so many teachers, so she had to agree.
When he got home, Shang Xia saw that Chen Xi was also there.
During the previous holiday, Chen Xi went with Zhou Feng to worship his ancestors, but he couldn't see the basket of disasters that his brother broke out, and he somehow happened to come back in time for Shang Xia.
"When everyone is here, let's eat!"
Chen Yougui spoke, and everyone began to move their chopsticks.
"Mom, your cooking is delicious." It's been a while since I've eaten my mother's cooking, and Shang Xia is greedy, praising while eating.
"Even if your mouth is sweet, eat it slowly, don't choke." Shang Xiaohe's eyes were full of love.
"Mom, I'm going to serve soup for everyone!" Chen Xi stood up with a smile.
Shang Xiaohe was a little surprised, "What's wrong today, one by one, so well-behaved, go ahead!" ”
Chen Xi turned around and went into the kitchen, Shang Xiaohe picked up a piece of meat, and was about to add it to Shang Xia's bowl, only to hear her scream.
"Don't be in such a hurry to eat, this school uniform is dirty, quick, go in and wash it."
"It's fine, it's just a little stain, it's easy to wash off." Shang Xia said and walked to the kitchen.
As soon as she entered, she saw Chen Xi with her back to her, and she didn't know what she was doing, although she didn't see it clearly, her intuition told her that she was not serving soup.
"What are you doing?" Shang Xia whispered, poked his head out of Chen Xi's shoulder, and asked leisurely.
"Yikes! Is it a ghost when you walk silently? Chen Xi screamed, and at the same time, what she was holding in her hand fell into the trash can, she glanced at the trash can, and then looked at Shang Xia.
"No, I'm just asking casually, why are you so nervous, are you a thief?" Shang Xia smiled and deliberately glanced at the trash can.
"Ahem, ahem...... Bah! At this moment, Chen Xi spit directly into the trash can, which frightened Shang Xia and immediately retracted his head.
Seeing this, Chen Xi smiled proudly, snorted and laughed, "Neurotic, do you want you to take care of what I do?" ”
With a few bowls of soup, he walked outside.
Shang Xia, who was still in the kitchen, was absentmindedly wiping her clothes, Chen Xi thought she didn't know what was in the trash can, but in fact, she recognized it at a glance......
Okay, since Chen Xi wants to play, then she might as well play with her.
When I came out of the kitchen, I saw that everyone on the table had an extra bowl of soup. Shang Xia smiled and returned to his seat.
"This soup is so full, my sister's bowl is less, can you change it with me? I can't finish it. ”
Shang Xia said softly, reaching out to take Chen Xi's bowl.
"No, no, you study hard in school, drink more fish head soup to replenish your brain! Or don't change it. ”
Chen Xi immediately covered his bowl of soup with his hand, as if he was afraid that she would snatch it away.
