When I returned to the dormitory, I was already nostalgic for the little cottage by the sea. Also at night, outside the balcony of the dormitory, there are only dark shadows of trees and buildings, which makes people not interested in taking a closer look. I deeply regretted that I couldn't get up early to go to the beach with everyone to watch the sunrise, but Xingyuan's comfort made me easily forgive my weak willpower.

"I'm too tired to get up, and there's no way to do it." Xingyuan touched my head and continued: "Let's go again after the college entrance examination, then we can stay for a few more days, you can always see the sunrise." ”

"Two years to go...... Ay...... It would be nice if the college entrance examination could come soon......"

Hearing my brainless muttering, Xingyuan sneered.

In fact, I'm not as fearless as I think I am. When I woke up, I began to worry about two important exams looming.

Originally, the college entrance examination in a week had nothing to do with me, but the "pledge meeting" scheduled for this Friday disrupted my temporary revision plan. Before talking about the reason for the yin, let me briefly introduce what this "pledge meeting" is all about just by hearing the name is enough to make people's hearts flutter. Our school has a long history, and there are so many traditions that even Xingyuan, who has been studying here since junior high school, can't accurately identify them all. Different from the tradition passed down by word of mouth, the "Pledge Meeting" occupies an unshakable and important position in the fine tradition of our university, which is not only recorded in the history of our university, but also engraved in the hearts of all graduates. It is undeniable that the college entrance examination is to candidates what the battlefield is to soldiers, and it is normal for people to be timid, afraid, hesitant, and retreat. When it comes to exam preparation, it's not just three years of high school, which may be a bit exaggerated from the time of literacy, but it's not much. In this way, it is too light to call it a ten-year fight. For some people, the college entrance examination is insignificant, and everyone has their own ambitions and respects. However, in our concept, the college entrance examination means the possibility of changing one's destiny and the possibility of choosing one's life. How many times can you meet in life if you are fair and only rely on strength to fight for all these opportunities? How can we not cherish it? There is a saying that although a good school cannot guarantee a bright future, it can keep you from falling too badly. Especially for a child like me who grew up in an ordinary family, having a good education can undoubtedly make my future journey easier, so in a corner of my heart, I can't understand my parents' feelings of valuing my studies so much. In the face of such a major exam, even the top students may not be able to handle it calmly, let alone those students who have never been top students. With this in mind, in order to boost morale, the founders of our school decided to hold a "pledge meeting" one week before the college entrance examination every year, and it has been continued to this day. With the connections and prestige of the principals of the past generations, we invited contemporary celebrities to share their success experiences and life insights for the senior high school candidates, and led the candidates to set up a grand wish for success in the college entrance examination at the end of the conference. Decades have passed, and the "pledge meeting" is as powerful as ever, only to be replaced by guests who have been invited to speak on stage by accomplished alumni, many of whom are big names in society. In my opinion, the significance of the "pledge meeting" is not how many thoughts and insights can be listened to. When we see the people who once studied in the same school as us standing on the stage and exuding the brilliance of self-confidence, when we follow them and shout out the college entrance examination declaration together with the students who have been on the same road for three years, our throbbing hearts can deeply feel the truth and steadfastness, and our blood-boiling chests can burst out with infinite courage and strength.

Well, everything is purely imaginary, because only senior high school students are allowed to attend the conference, and all kinds of insider information about the conference that circulates among students are just a collection of hearsay from the seniors of one class after another. Of course, there are exceptions, and the "pledge meeting" requires students to participate in various preparations, including the staff who are responsible for hosting guests are allowed to stay in the auditorium to watch the meeting. According to the convention, this great honor can only be obtained by the top students in the second year of high school, and this year, because one of the guests invited to participate was the director of the hospital where Xingyuan's parents worked, the school decided to hire Xingyuan exceptionally after learning about this relationship. As a result, Xingyuan became the first high school student who was fortunate enough to witness the legendary "Pledge Conference" full of sacredness and ritual. As soon as this news spread, it instantly caused heated discussions in the whole school. Every day, students from different grades and classes hang out in front of our classrooms. There is an endless stream of unfamiliar figures, and it is annoying to watch. Don't say that those who ask questions and make judgments, even those who quietly look at them and leave, are also annoying enough. It was about Xingyuan, and Xu Yinyao, who had always been good-tempered, soon couldn't hold his breath. Whenever the class bell rang, he would walk up to Xingyuan to block the eyes of those good deeds for her, and stand until the class bell rang before returning to his seat. Knowing that patience could not compare to Xu Yinyao, the good deeds had no choice but to leave in disgrace. Although Xingyuan escaped the predicament of being watched in the classroom, she couldn't escape the embarrassment of being recognized and then pointing at her while walking on campus. In order not to cause us trouble, Xingyuan decided not to walk with us until the end of the "pledge meeting". Of course, even without us by her side, Xingyuan will not be alone, after all, no matter where she is going, Xu Yinyao is willing to accompany her.

"I heard that at the 'pledge meeting', there are people who cry a lot every year." During the self-study class, we "string orchestra" gathered around and chatted.

"It's not people, it's most people." Yu Menghan shook his index finger and corrected matter-of-factly: "Few people can hold back from crying. ”

"Hey...... It's no wonder that the pressure is too great, and there is nowhere to vent......" Xin Tian sighed sadly in the tone of a passerby.

"I want to cry when I think about the final exam in two weeks......" I sighed as I stared at the question in the workbook that I couldn't solve. The revision team was not formed as scheduled due to various delays, and it is only now that the self-study room in the library is only open to senior high school students, and we regret it. I was disappointed that I was hoping to improve my grades through the review group, and I was inevitably depressed.

"I really envy you to go in and see, don't forget to tell us what you have seen when you come back!"

"But......" Xingyuan fiddled with the pen in her hand and hesitated for a moment.

"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone else!" Yu Menghan whispered: "The secret of our 'string orchestra'!" ”

"Secret!" Everyone whispered this wonderful word, and a smile of understanding appeared on the corners of their mouths.

"Okay......" Xingyuan looked at me helplessly.

Xingyuan is too gentle and always doesn't know how to refuse...... Now that the matter has been settled, what can I say? You know, the curiosity of girls is terrible, and I don't want to be an enemy. I looked back at the exercise book, hesitating whether to ask Xingyuan to teach me.

"Do all the staff have to wear formal attire?"

"Only the staff in the venue need to wear it, and everyone else needs to wear a normal uniform. Clothes are procured by the school. Xingyuan said patiently.

Listening to Xingyuan's words, I remembered the crisp black suit she hung on the closet door last night. Although the design is simple, the fabric is not breathable, and it is not difficult to imagine how hot it would be to walk around in this dress on a hot summer day. Fortunately, the girls wore knee-length skirts, which were cooler than the boys' trousers.

"Wow! Is it good-looking? Show us! "When it comes to dressing up, everyone is full of energy.

"It's the most common set, don't be disappointed." Xingyuan said with a slight smile.

"Wear a suit with red lipstick and a little blush ......"

"Hmm......" Xingyuan swiped her fingertips across her sunburned cheeks and replied lightly.

In my opinion, Xingyuan was a little too concerned about the sunburn. Her skin is already white and red, and since she fell in love, her face has become even more ruddy, and she occasionally wears blush during holidays, so as friends, we have long been used to seeing her cheeks crimson. To be sure, a person with fair skin will look bad at the slightest bit of fatigue, and that sunburn is just the right thing to hide and make her look as glamorous as ever. As for Xu Yinyao, I think no matter how Xingyuan dresses up, he will think he looks good.

"Why don't we think about how to deal with the final exam first, and wait until the exam is over?" I was stuck by that question for a long time, and I finally couldn't help but give the eviction order. In the end, I still have to ask Xingyuan for help......

The staff of the "Pledge Meeting" have to go to the auditorium every day after school to receive unified training, and Xingyuan, who is the guest receptionist, must also memorize relevant materials to respond to questions from guests after returning to the dormitory. Probably to prepare for the topic of communication with the dean, Xingyuan actually borrowed a bunch of medical books from the library, and when she looked at it, it was a night, and I really didn't know whether to say that she was too responsible or too serious. Although she was busy and lacked skills, Xingyuan did not relax at all to prepare for the exam, even if she had to take up her sleep time to review, she never complained. So, apart from recess and self-study classes, she didn't have time to chat with us, let alone tutor me in my studies.

I was looking forward to the end of the conference so that Xingyuan could spare time to teach me questions. Then, when the college entrance examination is over, the study room reopens, and the revision group can get together to study again. But I didn't expect things to go far as I had hoped......
