The weather in late autumn is getting colder and colder, the air is a little dry, Tao You has been sleeping at night recently, and his nose and breathing feel painful. In the school, except for some evergreen trees, the leaves of the other trees have almost fallen off. The day of the end of the autumn league preliminaries happened to be the midterm exam of the first year of high school.

Tao You prepared very well for this monthly exam, and studied almost every day in the middle of the night, although she has not made up for all the missing knowledge points, but in such a short time, she has done her best, at least it will not be worse than last time.

"Little Youyou, hurry up and come to worship." Before Hong Xiqi went to the cafeteria in the morning, he pulled Tao You and bowed to a photo standing on the table, and there were words in his mouth. She got up early today, cleaned up the messy desk, wiped it off, and then respectfully took out the photo from the drawer.

Tao You didn't know why, combed his hair, and leaned closer to look at the photo: "What is this?" With that, he touched the photo with his hand and dusted off a piece of dust from the corner of the photo.

Seeing this, Hong Xiqi hurriedly pulled back Tao You, and folded his hands and bowed: "Sins, sins." ”

Only then did he turn his head and say to Tao You: "This is the statue of Confucius, which I specially asked my friend's brother's classmates to take in Yan University, it is said that it can be spiritual, but anyone who has worshiped before the exam can get unexpectedly good results, many students in Yan University will go to worship, the tribute before the statue has not been broken, you also hurry up to worship, but it is difficult to get, and there is no chance for people." ”

Tao You looked at her pious face, and there was a smile in her eyes: "At most, this is a psychological effect, so you might as well review it yourself." With that, she went to the bathroom.

Hong Xiqi glanced at her back and turned her head to pray.

"Xiao Youyou, I'll go to the cafeteria to buy food first, what do you eat? I'll bring you a classroom. Hong Xiqi put his schoolbag on his back and asked Tao You, who was still packing.

Tao You didn't think much about it, and replied mechanically: "Anything, thank you." She began to be uncontrollably nervous again, afraid that something would go wrong during the exam, and even slowed down the action of cleaning up.

Before going out, Tao Youyu saw that the photo was still standing on Hong Xiqi's table, and the hand on the doorknob paused, and then thought about it: The psychological effect is good, anyway, it can make you feel at ease, what if it is really useful? She closed the door to make sure that no one would come in, then walked over, stood upright in front of the photo, bowed three times, closed her eyes, and whispered: "Mr. Confucius, please bless me not to forget the knowledge points I have learned during this exam, I will do everything right, no, just get half right, as long as the results are not worse than the last monthly exam, I don't have high requirements." Also, when it's time for the exam, don't let me play songs on a loop in my head, please, please. After making a wish, she went to the classroom.

This time the examination room was arranged according to the ranking of the previous monthly exam, Song Yimian was still in the first class of high school, and Tao You was arranged to the sixth class this time, one floor apart.

Before going to the examination room, Tao You pulled Song Yimian and re-sorted out the knowledge points that she was not very sure about, and after the classmates who came to their class for the exam came in, she reluctantly closed the notebook, twisted and pinched and didn't want to leave, as if she had left this chair, and the knowledge points that she had memorized disappeared. Their classroom is on the first floor, Tao You's examination room is on the second floor, and the corridor is now full of students going up and down the examination room, chatting about everything. Tao You lowered his head, covered his ears, and went to the examination room silently in his heart.

After getting the paper, Tao You didn't rush to read the topic, but closed his eyes, calmed his nervousness, and tried to lower his heartbeat. The exam bell rang, Tao You picked up the pen, and completed the first page smoothly all the way, the ancient poems were rare and not stuck, she was more confident in herself, and there was still a clock before the end of the exam to finish the paper, she put down the pen, and shook her sore right hand slightly, seeing that there were still many students next to her who were struggling to write, she still didn't stop thinking about it, looked back at the clock behind the classroom, realized that there was not enough time, and quickly turned her head, frowned, and squeezed the last part of the essay like toothpaste, and there was no shortage of people who turned their heads slightly to look at her, In the next second, he hurriedly lowered his head to do the question. Tao You suddenly felt a little proud, as if she had seen her previous exam, she leaned back in her chair and rested for dozens of seconds before starting from scratch.

"Xiao Youyou, I feel that I must have done well in the exam this time, and if I continue to do that question, I will finish it twenty minutes ahead of schedule." Hong Xiqi ran to the *** room and said excitedly to Tao You, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were very bright, "Let me tell you, this Confucius statue is really too godly, I must go back."

Collect it well, if you don't worship in the morning, it's really a loss. ”

Like, it's quite spiritual. Tao You remembered his exam, and the whole process was unprecedentedly smooth, because he also secretly worshipped later, and he didn't speak at this time.

"What Confucius statue?" As soon as Gu Yi returned to the classroom, he heard Hong Xiqi's loud voice, "I remember that there is no statue of Confucius in our school, have you gone to the temple?" ”

"No, Yan Da, the famous one." Hong Xiqi explained, "I finally got it. ”

Gu Yi also knew about this Confucius statue, nodded and said: "I've heard that it's all marketing, you are too superstitious, you have to rely on yourself in the end of the exam, you have the energy to get this, but you don't have time to review it yourself." He complained.

"You've reviewed, and your grades aren't good." Tao You also worshipped in the morning, and felt that he was connotated, so he scolded back, "Except for mathematics, but what's the use of you being good at math, other classes are holding you back, and you were a few years worse than me in the last ranking." ”

Gu Yi was speechless for a moment, puffing out his mouth, his eyes widened, like a puffer fish with swelled anger, Tao You looked at his appearance, and couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh.

"I'm sorry." She apologized in time, tried to pinch her arm, and pursed her mouth, but the corners of her mouth twitched and tried to rise betrayed her.

Gu Yi snorted and said, "I'm different from you, I plan to go to the competition class, so I don't have to worry about it." He took out the water cup, drank the last sip of water, tilted his head slightly to look at Tao You and Hong Xiqi, and turned his head and walked out of the classroom.

What's the matter, it's still arrogant? Tao You and Hong Xiqi were choked by his words for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing out loud, lying on the table with their stomachs covered, fortunately, the class is still very noisy now, and they have not become the focus.

With the opening of the first day of the exam, Tao You was also full of confidence in the next few days of the exam, after the exam, he felt quite good, and even couldn't wait, hoping that the results would come out soon.

"The midterm exam is over, and the final exam will be in more than a month, and now is not the time to relax." The head teacher reminded everyone.

"The semi-finals have started this weekend, will you go and watch it?" Song Yimian asked Tao You.

Tao You thought for a while and asked, "Are you playing?" ”

Song Yimian shook his head, "I'm still a substitute this year, and under normal circumstances, I won't play." ”

This weekend, the midterm exam results must have come down, although Tao You is confident that it will be better than last time, but Tao's mother may change her mind again, and ask her to go to tutoring, then there will really be no time to go out to play, so she nodded and agreed: "Okay, time and place, you send me then, I will tell my mother to come to you, you, know what to say." She half-narrowed her eyes and looked at Song Yimian, with uncertainty in her tone.

"Don't worry." Song Yimian gave her a reassuring look, "But this is the only time, you better tell Aunt Shujiang earlier." ”

Tao You saw that he was just talking cool words, how could her mother talk so easily, she had to find a suitable time to sit down and have a good chat when she was not busy, and now she said that she was scolded by splitting her head and covering her face, and then confiscated the racket: "It's not time yet, don't worry about it." ”

"There are still a lot of class fees left this semester," the head teacher turned around the class a few times, remembered something, and spoke again, "After the New Year's Eve or the final exam, you can organize it, and the whole class will go out to play together, I see that most of the semester has passed, and there are many students who are not familiar with other students, and they usually go alone, just take this opportunity to know more about their classmates, and they will still be in a class next semester." ”

The students listened to the words of the class teacher, and excitedly slapped the table and called, and there was an instant commotion in the classroom, Hong Xiqi applauded, and his hands were red, and the other class students who passed by outside the classroom were curious to look through the window, thinking that something big had happened, in fact, for the students in the second class, this is also a big deal. Tao You's expression was tepid, she had never been enthusiastic about this kind of group activity.

"However," the head teacher raised his voice and changed his words, "the specific activities depend on how much money is left in the end, and you must also obtain the consent of your parents in advance, and also depend on your grades, if your grades are poor, there will be no activities." ”

"Teacher Wen, don't worry, we will definitely take the test." A classmate spoke.

"In order to go out and play, in the last period of time, everyone has to fight

Twelve points of spirit. ”

With the first one to speak, the other students began to speak one after another, and the classroom was in chaos again.

"Little Youyou, what do you think it will be?" Hong Xiqi's face was full of anticipation, and he was already fantasizing about the scene at that time, "Picnic? There are several places in the mountains on the outskirts that have special places for picnics, and you can also watch the stars at night, or go to the canopy boat and eat stinky tofu...... It's been a long time since I've eaten stinky tofu, so I miss it. As she spoke, she began to pound her mouth, swallowing her saliva.

Tao You broke her illusion and said leisurely: "According to my experience, it may be an outing, mountain climbing, going to a park or something, don't think too much." "Her previous class often organized these boring activities, she had not been there once, and this time she did not have much hope, and she was even planning to find an excuse not to go.

"I'll just think about it." Hong Xiqi glanced at Tao You with disgust, "The funds are limited, how can you really go to these places, there are still potential safety hazards." ”

Tao You pursed his lips and scratched his head in embarrassment.

This week, Tao's mother called Tao You a lot more often, and the central word of the chat each time was the midterm exam.

"Xiaoyou, tomorrow, are your results out?" Tao's mother asked.

Tao You leaned on the railing of the balcony of the dormitory, looked at the light in the distance, sighed, and said, "It's coming, it should come out tomorrow." Mom, why are you in such a hurry? ”

Mother Tao was eating in her mouth, and her voice was a little slurred: "If you don't do well in the exam, then I can't take the morning to find a cram school for you and go to class early?" ”

Tao Humor rolled his eyes and said helplessly: "To put it bluntly, you still don't believe me, why is it always like this." ”

The topic began to develop in an uncontrollable direction again, and Tao You stopped it in time: "Stop, I don't want to talk about this, I'm going to study, I'm going to turn off the lights immediately, good night, bye." After saying that, he hung up the phone, and the wind blew on the balcony for a while, feeling a little cold, and then sighed and returned to the dormitory.
