Chapter 37: Rose - Compromise
That notebook helped Jiang Limei a lot.
After the summer vacation, Jiang Limei was promoted to the second year of high school, and the top priority was the division of arts and sciences. Yao Meng followed Jiang Limei to study literature together, and the two were in the same class very fatefully.
The liberal arts class is a natural law, Jiang Limei's new class has a total of thirty-nine people, only five boys, the math teacher is a bearded man, who is newly transferred from the school next door, the pace of lectures is fast, and he has his own set of systems.
This is a catastrophe for the scumbag Jiang Limei, mathematics is a difficult problem, but this time it can't keep up at all.
In the first test after the class was divided, she ranked fourteenth in the class, and a month later, she simply fell into the penultimate column.
55 in mathematics, a record low.
Although no one in the family asked her for her academic performance, this score was too embarrassing, Jiang Limei learned from the pain, held the math notes every day and did not let go, and dreamed of drawing auxiliary lines.
In September, the autumn breeze is blowing, and the half-sleeved summer school uniform is replaced by a long-sleeved jacket. The benches in the pavilion are made of wood, and it will be a little chilly to sit on, Jiang Limei didn't dare to sit for a long time, holding notes and leaning on the column.
Occasionally, ginkgo biloba leaves brushed her forehead and fell on the spread notes, and she reached out and swept them away.
A new milk tea shop was opened on the first floor of the canteen, with colorful pink tones, plus half-baked pearls, the taste is average, but there is no shortage of business, Yao Mengsi took a sip of his own, and then took a sip of Jiang Limei's, bored and looked around, and then quietly poked Jiang Limei's back:
"Jiang Limei, you look upstairs."
Jiang Limei raised her head when she heard this, and she was facing the beam of gaze projected on the corridor on the second floor.
Ren Yu stood behind the second window, looking in her direction, but the moment he looked at each other, he walked away quickly.
"How did you go?" Jiang Limei just raised the note above her head and wanted to wave her hand at him, but in the blink of an eye, the person was gone, and only the bare branches of the magnolia tree were left in the window, dotted with a few thick green and fat leaves.
"He's always there, and he doesn't know what to look at." Yao Meng chewed on the pearl bean: "You said, Ren Yu helped you so much, it wouldn't be a crush on you, right?" ”
Jiang Limei glanced at Yao Meng: "It's just a game, besides, I chased his brother, and the whole school knew about it, and then he had a crush on me?" ”
"Yes...... No way. ”
What an embarrassing thing, Ren Yu is such a smart person, and he will not make trouble for himself.
"The third year of high school is guaranteed to be sent, you know?"
Jiang Limei continued to look at the notes, lowered her head and snorted.
Competition student, the dragon and phoenix among people, anyway, she is not in the same circle.
According to the chain of contempt of Anseong No. 9 Middle School, at the top is Ren Yu, who is very good at every subject, and does not need to rely on any competitions, extra points, or independent enrollment, and can appear in the Anseong Evening News at the end of June just by relying on the results of the college entrance examination.
The second is competition students and independent enrollment, they don't have to squeeze the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination, as long as one is extremely prominent, they can also enter a prestigious school.
After that, there are ordinary students, and as for art students and sports students like Jiang Limei, they languished at the bottom of the chain of contempt.
Jiang Limei was in a hurry because of her math scores, and Cao Qiong couldn't help, so she could only buy Jiang Limei a lot of brain supplements and food supplements, which filled half of the kitchen, and told her aunt at home that Jiang Limei should cook according to the recipe for every meal.
Jiang Limei didn't want to drink those bitter soups, she already lost her appetite, but now she couldn't eat, and she lost a lot of weight.
Cao Qiong patiently brought the food to Jiang Limei's room, but bumped into Jiang Limei wiping her tears while burying her head in writing the question, and a piece of scratch paper was already wet with ink and tears.
Cao Qiong put away the paper and pen, and took Jiang Limei's shoulders towards her, and the bones under her palms were awkward.
"If you don't like to eat these, then don't eat them, you tell your mother, what you want to eat, and your mother will make it for you."
Jiang Limei's nose was covered with snot, and she shook her head in a buzzing voice: "I don't want to eat anything." ”
"Zuo Jing's mother said that there is a new steak on the storage street near your school, Zuo Jing likes it very much, can my mother take you to eat?"
"Zuo Jing escorted Nanda, Mom."
Cao Qiong frowned: "So what?" Is that shop only good grades to eat? ”
Jiang Limei looked at Cao Qiong with red and swollen eyes, and then heard a sigh: "Xiaoyu, it's not a good thing to be too strong, my mother would rather you have less backbone, and you will have a lot less trouble in the future." ”
At that time, Jiang Limei didn't understand this sentence.
In fact, she may not have understood it all her life.
Whether a person's character is formed by nature or nurture, science cannot give a conclusive conclusion.
"Mom, I'm so scared, I'm afraid that I won't do well in the art exam, I'm afraid that my cultural grades are not enough, I'm afraid I won't be able to get into the Academy of Fine Arts."
Cao Qiong took off the confetti sticking to Jiang Limei's eyelashes and patted her back gently, but what she thought in her heart was, why is this child's personality different from the name?
Jiang Limei's name was taken by Cao Qiong when she was pregnant, and the rose of dawn should be squeamish and gentle.
In this way, people are not necessarily as their name suggests.
Jiang Limei later went to eat the steak on Chu Street with Cao Qiong, and sprinkled a large table as an incentive before the midterm exam.
In November, the early winter comes, and the winter days in Anseong are always like a hazy gray-blue, gray and gloomy, frost and wind do not stop. At the end of the mid-term examination of the first and second years of high school, Jiang Limei's first big exam after being assigned to a class finally made some progress.
Zuo Jing sat on the highest floor of the playground stands, wearing headphones and listening to songs. The sun is the only place on campus where the sun is at its most pleasant, and you can enjoy the busy people during your lunch break.
He escorted NTU so that he could withdraw himself from the breathless college entrance examination.
Ren Yu sat next to him, holding a book of past papers he had never seen before.
Everyone thinks that Xueba relies on talent, only Zuo Jing is upset with Ren Yu, Ren Yu is the hardest working person he has ever seen, so he doesn't envy what kind of results he gets, and he will even be glad that he doesn't have to take the college entrance examination with Ren Yu.
"Ren Yu, those art students are so relaxed, and they can go to a prestigious school with 400 points."
Ren Yu's tone was light: "They are also very hard, and they can't be compared horizontally." ”
The basketball court not far away is overcrowded again, and there are only those in the art class who have the leisure to play during the lunch break in the third year of high school. Zuo Jing squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and saw Ren Xun at a glance.
In such a cold weather, the tall and tall young man always wears a thin sweatshirt, tired and sweaty, constantly shouting and laughing, as if he has endless strength.
Zuo Jing looked at Ren Xun for a while, then looked at Ren Yu beside him, stared at the page motionlessly, stared at it enough, seemed to understand, and gently turned the next page.
Really very different twins.
He whistled, thinking of Mayday's sudden miss for you, but he couldn't blow it out of tune, and the intermittent tone was cut by the wind and scattered in the air.
"Ren Yu, I think Xu Ying and I are completely out of play."
Ren Yu rarely withdrew from the question book and glanced up at Zuo Jing.
Zuo Jing put his arms back, propped himself up and looked at the sky, and his tone was full of youthful melancholy: "When I went to Nancheng to compete, I bought delicious snacks for Xu Ying, a specialty of Nancheng, and brought it back across most of China, but she didn't want it." ”
The wind whined.
Xu Ying reiterated to me again, she only treats me as a friend, no matter how hard I try, it is useless, she wants to go to Lingshi University in the future, we are one south and one north, and there is no play. In any case, there are really not many things in this world that can be done by hard work. ”
Ren Yu didn't speak, be a good listener.
Zuo Jing also feels that he is hypocritical, but it is difficult to hide the loss, when he was young, he liked to be light and thin, but he will be wrapped around his heart for a lifetime.
"What should I do Ren Yu, am I stunned, I am not angry when she rejects me, but I feel sorry for her, she is full of Ren Xun, but Ren Xun doesn't even look at her." Zuo Jing scratched his head: "Your brother and Jiang Limei ......"
didn't finish speaking, because Ren Yu closed the book.
I don't know if it's an illusion or what, Ren Yushu's strength is not small, and he banged.
Zuo Jing didn't know which sentence he said wrong, and thought that Ren Yu was tired of hearing his broken thoughts, so he hurriedly stopped his mouth.
"Where are you going?"
Ren Yu walked briskly down from the height of the stands without looking back: "Run." ”
“...... Are you sick? What steps do you run at noon, it's so windy today. ”
"If you don't run, go back to the classroom."
Zuo Jing chirped: "Run, run, you wait for me." ”
The sun was in full bloom at noon, but it couldn't penetrate the dense clouds, and even the air was frozen and stagnant in Anseong in winter. Teenagers in school uniforms run around the playground in circles, hiding their unspeakable thoughts in the wind and in the hem of their bulging school uniforms.
There are really not many things in this world that can be done by hard work, but even if the result is there, there are people who are willing to go forward.
As a teenager, Ren Yu learned a heavy lesson in life, called compromise.
However, a good student will always extend the meaning of the topic and draw inferences, and he also taught himself another word, called obsession.
