Chapter 10: I Don't Like Anything-8
The final transcript arrived home in a few days by letter. My grades are still not up or down, and I am stable in the middle of the stream.
The mother asked casually, and still had no idea what "grade ranking" and "class ranking" were, and did not comment.
According to her, she is not at all a material for studying; It's rare that I can read a few more words than her.
Of course, this is only a one-sided statement by the mother. I once happened to see my mother's diploma, a prestigious school that I never dreamed of.
My mother always avoided topics related to "university", and always prevaricated in front of me that she was just a beginner in Chinese. She wouldn't interfere with my future, college, or my job beyond—and she wouldn't want to.
The focus of her mother's life is only her "barbershop" and her boyfriend.
Eating with my mother is always silent.
What is in her heart, I will never understand. Again, she didn't know what I was thinking.
My mother was about to rush back to the store again, while I listened to the news and cleaned up the dishes. Halfway through the wash, the phone rang at home.
Most of them are looking for their mother's phone number. I didn't pick up.
Unlike the previous calls to my mother—this time it was a deadly call, and I was still ringing persistently after washing the dishes and chopsticks. The phone rang and my eardrum hurt. No, I picked it up.
I didn't expect it to be Angel on the other end of the phone.
"Kangmeiren, did you get your report card?" Angel sounded excited.
"Don't call me that......" The title suddenly reminded me of the embarrassment a few days ago, and I couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, "Got it, how did you do in the exam?" ”
"That's what I called you specifically to tell you about this!" I closed my eyes, as if I saw Angel's beautiful jaw rhythmically upswinging, "Haha, guess! ”
"Damn, don't talk about pulling down!" I wasn't in the mood to guess, "Surely it's good?" ”
"Not good—" Angel said in a lengthened tone, "Very good!" I was in the top 200 of my grade! ”
I was a little stunned on the phone. Angel did better than me, which was not unexpected, but it was enough to hit me. I didn't want to be too cautious, and I praised him stiffly.
Angel said a lot of words and I could feel his pride - whoever made such a big improvement in two weeks would be very excited.
As his friend, I'm really happy for him.
But as a nerd who tutored him but didn't do as well as him in the exams, I couldn't help but feel disappointed for myself.
"Kang Rong, thank you." Angel said again.
"Well, you're welcome."
"By the way, I've been talking about me all the time - how did you do on the exam? I've been in so much, you kid has exploded now, right? ”
I saw myself reflected in the glass window, like a sapling about to be blown down by the wind.
Reluctantly, I told him, "It's still the same, more than three hundred." ”
"Ah...... Is this so......" Angel was a little surprised, and said as if comforting me, "You are playing steadily, and I am actually lucky this time, hehe." ”
After his comfort, I became even more depressed.
Good luck always falls on others - a complete and happy family, a bright mind, a live performance for exams......
"Kang Rong? Kang Rong? Angel called my name with some dissatisfaction, "Why are you so distracted when you talk to me?" ”
"Ah, what did you just say?" I apologize.
"Are you free tomorrow?" Angel's voice was a little awkward.
"What for?"
"Damn, you didn't listen to me when I said so much!" Angel almost roared.
"Don't yell at me, or I'll hang up." I frowned and moved the microphone away from my ear.
"You dare to hang me? Believe it or not, I'll hang you upside down tomorrow? When he said "hanging the Admiralty upside down", his tone was like singing.
I was amused again: "It's not certain who hangs whom." ”
Anqi's tone became serious again: "Then tomorrow at three o'clock in the afternoon, the Bay Theater, you can't forget, and you can't be late." ”
"Bay Theatre?"
"Damn, I don't even want to complain about you, I really haven't heard a word...... "Angel Qi is helpless, "Tomorrow "Emperor Penguin Diary" will be screened, I got two special tickets from my dad, and you have to come if you don't come." ”
"Oh, won't be late."
"That's it for now."
"Okay." I took the microphone, but for some reason I didn't hang up the phone, staring at my own shadow on the glass window.
"What, reluctant to me?" Angel's soft voice brought me back to my senses again, "You can see me tomorrow, you can't wait all night?" ”
"Damn, why aren't you hanging yet?" The tone of his voice made me a little irritated.
"You hang first."
"What the hell?"
Angel said, "Kang Rong, this is the first time I've talked to you on the phone. ”
I didn't know how to respond for a while.
He said faintly, "You hang up first." I want to hear you hang up. ”
