Soon after Lin Chuxue and I separated, we ushered in each other's second year at Hwaseong Technical School, although the short period of time after her departure was not as colorful for me as before, but that year was generally good, the days continued unhurriedly, there were familiar people around me, and I could do what I wanted.

In the second year of high school, the classroom of Class 5 was moved from the first floor of the teaching building to the second floor, which was an affirmation of our identity in the second year of high school. The layout of the second floor and the first floor is roughly similar, and the division of student learning and teachers' office areas is basically the same as that of the first floor, so the so-called class change is just a horizontal migration, and the location of the fifth class is still at the corner of the staircase, directly above the original classroom. The only difference is that the sign at the door of the classroom has been changed to the second and fifth classes of high school. Many people have not fully adapted to the change of their identity at the beginning, and most of them only realize the fact that they are already sophomores when the next freshman starts. It wasn't until that time that the school organized everyone to welcome new students and volunteer, and everyone began to try to put up their own shelves as seniors.

That posture was completely the virtue of a nouveau riche small landlord.

Not long after entering the second year of high school, I ushered in the second independent choice of my student career, and we reached the stage of choosing a major with unsatisfactory results in cultural courses. Hwaseong Technical School is different from other vocational and technical schools in that it only begins to divide students into professional classes in the second year of high school, and the students' cultural courses are quite tight in the first year of high school. This indirectly gives students a chance to buffer.

The teaching system of vocational high schools is different from that of ordinary high schools, and most people's academic performance is not so good, and the learning environment, including the atmosphere of learning points, is not as good as that of ordinary high schools. Most of the students who come here are just trying to get a diploma, so naturally they don't work that hard. Most of us choose the 3+2 model, study in this school for three years, and then participate in the single-recruitment counterpart examination of some universities in the province or outside the province, and the college entrance examination is only to participate in the spring college entrance examination, and the difficulty of the test questions is only about 60% of the difficulty of the normal college entrance examination, so lying flat is most of the choices of most people. However, there are also a small number of students with good grades who will choose the school's general college entrance examination class to learn the content of cultural courses to prepare for the college entrance examination, and strive to achieve a good score after the sprint in the third year of high school.

I was quite motivated in my freshman year of high school, knowing that the people around me did not represent the level of normal ordinary high school students, basically after each big mock exam, I would exchange with some of my former junior high school classmates in the local ordinary high school to exchange each other's cultural class results, and I also realized that my level was still slightly weak compared to most people. If you choose the general college entrance examination to sprint for the content of the cultural course, it may not be a wise choice to give up the professional counterpart, so when that choice was placed in front of me, I wavered for the first time from my original intention when I first went to Hwaseong Technical School.

Teacher conversation is an indispensable process in the student days, especially when we are confused and don't know how to choose next, they will always tell you the right direction in the posture of a passerby, in other words, let us be more relaxed direction, after the teacher's advice and their own strength after the double consideration of my own strength, I finally chose what they thought was the right choice, I was already talented and dull, and it may be better to follow the step-by-step course. Now I think about whether it would have been better if there had been someone around me who was more willing to push me during those critical times.

I finally chose computer science as the direction of my future development, and completely gave up my original intention. At that time, many people thought that computers were the big trend, and this field was a good choice. At that time, my understanding of computers was limited to how to open the game, the most basic file storage, C disk and D disk did not understand, and there were not many opportunities for contact in life, so the so-called good choice was only a good choice to listen to others, and I was still in a state of ignorance. It might be a good idea to explore an area you don't know anything about, at least not badly compared to the more difficult option.

My sister chose the major of early childhood education, she repeatedly weighed the wise choice that most people think is made, maybe others don't know, but I know that her original intention is to learn and art-related content, she showed her interest in painting when she was very young, not to mention talent, often write and draw some very naïve pictures in the book, the reason why she chose early childhood education, I think it's just because she thinks that learning art is relatively too expensive.

Not everyone is eligible to go to school, and not all families can afford the extra expenses beyond schooling. Especially for our family, an ordinary rural family. The pressure to afford the daily expenses of two high school students at the same time is already great enough, if one of them chooses a relatively expensive major, the additional expenses are more of a burden for the family, she knows the stakes, so she made a compromise between the ideal and the reality, although her answer to many people is that she likes to stay with children, but I know that it is not entirely that reason.

I never deliberately described her existence, the girl who accompanied me through the entire nine years of compulsory education. Her name is Ye Xuan, and she is the sister of my mother's compatriots, because our village is not big and there are not many students, the principal of the primary school made the decision to merge our group of children's classes when we were very young, which led to us becoming classmates.

During my nine-year compulsory education, I didn't dare to do anything that harmed the morals, I didn't dare to try smoking and drinking in Internet cafes with children of the same age, and I didn't even worry about being seen by the other party when I said a few witty words to the female classmates. She would respond to many of my naughty stories in class after the fact, so I thought for a while that her falling behind was due to supervise me.

Although she entered the school earlier than me, her academic performance has never been better, similar to Lin Chuxue's learning ability, in the entire six years of primary school, three years of junior high school, she has hardly surpassed me once, all the relatives around us know the two treasures of our Lao Ye family, the second is stronger than the eldest, but the second is later. Perhaps our family's learning genes are not very strong, and the two children both failed to enter the Hwaseong Technical School. But I was lucky enough to get rid of her in the first year of high school, and she was placed in the third class. I was miserable when I sent Xiao Zhao Bing, and spent my entire student life with my sister. So when my mother tried to communicate with the teacher and asked me to change classes, I chose to say no, and during my freshman year of high school, almost everyone around me didn't know that there was a girl in the next class who was my sister. It wasn't until after the division of the professional class and the appearance of some people in the third class that everyone knew the fact that Ye Fan and Ye Xuan were sisters and brothers, and there were so many shameless people who even wanted to be my relatives, and boys always liked to make those disgusting jokes.

Lin Chuxue finally chose the art major, she is a person with artistic cells, and Neixiu's personality, including the temperament of not being easily disturbed by the world, is quite suitable for that major. This also means that we have to be divided into classes, because art students need to learn more courses about painting, which will conflict with the learning schedule of the five cultural classes, so on the basis of the professional class, there is another art class.

When everyone's wishes were submitted, we knew that it was only a matter of time before we were separated from some of our classmates. As when the arts and sciences were divided, the old people go, the new people come, compared with the last time, this time I became the majority of the existence left, at least seventy or eighty percent of the personnel in the class have not been transferred, but this time, there is no expectation, only endless loss, by this time I have known Lin Chuxue for only half a year, but for some reason there is a feeling of loneliness that is about to lose her.
