Chapter 30 An irritable summer

"What are you talking about?"

The moment the words fell, Jiang Yun was stunned at first, then after she reacted, she shyly turned her head to the other side and said coquettishly.

"I didn't say anything, just something that came to my mind."

Xu Zhe'an moved closer to where she was standing.

"I'm right. There are indeed stars in my eyes when I smile."

"Ouch... Slippery tongue."

Jiang Yun quickly covered her ears, and she got goosebumps all over her body.

Xu Zhe'an didn't say anything else, just stood aside and laughed to himself.

Under the moonlight, the shadows of the two people gradually lengthened and intertwined.

Life in the third year of high school is already difficult. Most people are ordinary, and many are even regarded as the hope of a family. Any slight mistake will disappoint those who support them behind the scenes.

The sunlight shining through the window onto the blackboard in the early morning, the colorful clouds in the sky in the evening, and the clouds and moon during the evening self-study classes are the additives in their boring and repetitive days that help them get through day after day.

For Xu Zhe'an, Jiang Yun's troubles are closely related to himself.

It has been exactly one hour since the two of them left home.

Jiang Yun stretched herself lazily, feeling very relaxed. She turned her head and stuck out her tongue playfully at Xu Zhe'an, saying in a sweet voice:

"Thank you, I'm feeling much better."

"No sign of anything, Sister Yun?"

Xu Zhe'an asked with a wicked smile.

"Um…"

Jiang Yun put her hands behind her back and shrugged slightly.

"what do you want?"

Xu Zhe'an slowly extended his hand to her.

"What are you...doing?"

Jiang Yun was startled by his actions and immediately closed her eyes, her tone slightly nervous.

Xu Zhe'an simply tucked the hair on both sides of her face behind her ears.

"What can I do? Your hair is a mess. What I want is simple, just let me finish what I want to say."

"You said."

Jiang Yun nodded seriously.

"It's just half a sentence I saw in a book before, only the first half."

"Yeah, whatever you say."

Seeing the expectation in Jiang Yun's eyes, Xu Zhe'an no longer hesitated.

"The moon in the water is the moon in the sky. Let's go back to the house."

After saying that, he went to collect the folding stools and garbage.

Jiang Yun didn't understand what he meant, and couldn't help but wonder:

"You made this up, didn't you?"

"of course."

Xu Zhe'an responded to her words, then took her hand and walked downstairs.

"Oh~ You lied to me again."

"I have no conscience."

The person in front of me is the one I love, there is clearly a second half to the sentence.

I told you I'm afraid you'll have to stay upstairs all night.

Xu Zhe'an held her little hand tightly, without any explanation, and walked straight home.

When they got home, Zhong Yuan was sitting on the sofa wearing glasses and reading a book. She didn't ask any questions when she saw them.

But Xu Zhe'an noticed his mother's smirk, so he asked Jiang Yun to go do her own thing first, then sat down on the sofa, smacked his lips and asked:

"Mom, you didn't play with your phone?"

"Don't bother me, go have fun."

Zhong Yuan waved her hand and said with disdain.

If it were in the first year of high school or before, Xu Zhe'an believed that his mother would read books seriously, but since she bought a smartphone, she has been unstoppable and is better at surfing the Internet than young people like them.

"Okay, it's good to be a role model."

Xu Zhe'an gave Zhong Yuan a thumbs up.

"Stinky boy, don't I need to improve my skills?"

"Very good, my dad will definitely be pleased to see this."

My father is usually serious and doesn't seem to be a romantic person, but when he is with my mother, he pampers her in various ways as if it were a common occurrence.

Another great pleasure for the two after the sweet and boring ones is to bully Xu Zhe'an. He has been fed enough dog food over the years.

Seeing that his mother didn't want to pay attention to him, Xu Zhe'an put his things back in their place, went to the balcony again and sat down to read with Jiang Yun.

……

16:8 am on the 40th, Classroom of the Laboratory Building.

After Xu Zhe'an's well-reasoned analysis, Jiang Yun was convinced, and they both agreed that it was meaningless to come to the examination room more than an hour in advance.

The stories of the two had spread throughout the grade long before, and every time everyone saw them, all they expressed was envy.

Many people only have one of the following qualities: good grades or courage.

The comprehensive science exam was long and contained many questions. Just as expected, it was very difficult.

The harder the test paper is, the more frequent the sound of flipping papers will be in the examination room.

They all understood that they should start from 0 points and put aside all those that were difficult to identify and difficult to calculate.

Xu Zhe'an was also anxious, but he was not like others who would show their anxiety on their faces.

Even though he was exhausted, he still sat upright.

Time passed as many people's brows became increasingly furrowed, and the two and a half hours passed quickly.

After handing in the test paper, Xu Zhe'an took Jiang Yun's schoolbag and walked out of the school together.

On the way, Qianqian checked the answers at Jiang Yun's request.

The multiple-choice questions are roughly the same, and the big questions only discuss the solution ideas for big physics questions.

"How about I get the answer key after my English exam this afternoon so I can study it beforehand when I get home?"

Jiang Yun's mind was full of exams.

"I'll just go get it. We'll eat outside at noon."

Xu Zhe'an agreed without any hesitation.

"Good~"

"Go eat a bowl of noodles."

Under his guidance, Jiang Yun followed him to the noodle shop.

Xu Zhe'an, who was sitting in the back with her, shouted:
"Aunt Zhang, two bowls of Maosi, one large and one small."

"Okay, is Xiao An here?"

Zhang Ping was busy making noodles for the customers who had arrived earlier, and only asked tentatively with her voice.

"Yes, last time I said I'd bring one more person, and here they are this time."

Xu Zhe'an took out two bottles of drinks from the refrigerator, unscrewed the caps and placed them in front of Jiang Yun.

"The wound on your arm is almost healed. Try wearing a short-sleeved shirt. It's so hot and sweaty."

"It's okay, just hold on for a few days and we'll talk about it after the college entrance examination."

Jiang Yun took out a tissue from her bag and carefully wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Sister Yun, guess what I'm most looking forward to?"

"What?"

"College entrance exam."

"Why? Isn't it better to review for a longer time? It will make you more prepared."

Jiang Yun was very puzzled. She used to hope that time would pass quickly, so that she could take the college entrance examination right away and escape from her miserable family environment.

But now, after spending time with Xu Zhe'an, I am afraid that time will pass too quickly. Once the college entrance examination is over, our contact will decrease.

"Even if that day comes, you'll still say you weren't prepared, didn't review enough, and just tried your best."

Xu Zhe'an did not agree with her statement.

"I'm looking forward to seeing Sister Yun wearing nice clothes, like a skirt or something like that."

skirt…

Jiang Yun could hardly remember the last time she wore a skirt, as if it was a very long time ago.

Anyway, I haven't worn a skirt since elementary school. In junior high, I was surrounded by strangers, and as I grew older, I dressed even more conservatively.

"Let's see what the situation is. I said casual clothes, I didn't say skirt."

Jiang Yun flatly denied it.

"Then I'll just wait. I'm not afraid of hooligans having culture, I'm afraid of hooligans having patience."

Xu Zhe'an deliberately pretended to be shameless and said in a mean way.

"..."

Jiang Yun fell silent, and finally just stepped on him hard.

At this time, Zhang Ping's voice rang out.

"Hey, Xiao An, who is this?"

She put two bowls of noodles on the table and looked at Jiang Yun curiously.

Xu Zhe'an turned around and explained to Zhang Ping with a smile:

"Aunt Zhang, as long as you understand, you don't have to say it out loud. It's the same as what you think."

"You are promising, Auntie will give you another egg, free of charge."

Zhang Ping likes these children very much and always speaks with a smile.

"Thank you auntie."

Xu Zhe'an turned around and happened to meet Jiang Yun's eyes, and found that she was staring at him.

"I'll settle the score with you next time."

"It's okay to hit me, just don't hit my face."

After the two of them sat down at the table, guests arrived one after another and Zhang Ping was very busy.

After finishing his meal, Xu Zhe'an remained the same as always and would still pay for the food even if it was free.

After leaving the restaurant, the two returned home for lunch.

When taking a liberal arts exam like English in the afternoon, it is necessary to rest, otherwise you will not be able to concentrate and may fall asleep at any time. After all, listening can really help you sleep.

When I feel sleepy during an exam, once I start, the best I can do is write in a mess on the paper, or at worst I can't finish a single question.

However, the two of them slept a little groggily and woke up only when the alarm rang for the second time and there were only twenty-five minutes left before the exam.

They put on their shoes and rushed to the examination room.

No matter how difficult English is, it won’t be outrageous, and Xu Zhe’an does it very easily.

With twenty minutes left to the end, he had nothing to do and couldn't help but review the previous exams, silently estimating his scores in his mind.

Although the soul in the body is 28 years old, a man is a boy until he dies. Driven by the desire to win, he will also hope to surpass his past self.

By the way, use the actual results to tell the chemistry teacher who dislikes me that even if we are really in love, we are making progress together.

The English test ended at 5 o'clock. Xu Zhe'an and Jiang Yun came to the head teacher's office together, and he knocked on the door twice.

"Come in."

Yang Minghui didn't even look at him, but kept marking the test papers.

"Teacher Yang, I want to ask if you have any answers. I can fill in the gaps when I get home."

Hearing that he was here to get answers, Yang Minghui stopped what he was doing.

"Xu Zhe'an, you're great. You made great progress last time. I wanted to talk to you."

"Teacher Yang, there's no need. It's just a one-time performance."

"I thought what happened last time would have an impact on you and Jiang Yun, but it turns out you've made significant progress, and she remains stable."

Yang Minghui seemed very relaxed when he mentioned this matter.

But Xu Zhe'an was not very willing to see his class teacher. To this day, he has never apologized to Jiang Yun in person for the slap she received.

"Teacher Yang, do you have an answer? I see you're quite busy. If not..."

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll find it for you right away."

After Yang Minghui finished grading, he locked the computer screen, stood up, walked to the locker, took out the key, opened it, and searched carefully.

"Here are all the answers to this exam. The questions are difficult and you really need to study hard."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Yang. I won't bother you anymore."

After Xu Zhe'an finished speaking, he was about to turn around and leave.

Yang Minghui immediately called him.

"Xu Zhe'an."

"Teacher Yang, what else do you want?"

"Let's talk behind closed doors."

Yang Minghui lowered his voice.

"You and Jiang Yun are the seedlings in our class who are going to Tsinghua and Peking University. The teacher hopes that you will not be distracted recently and get into the same university together. Then you can do what you want to do without any restrictions. It would be great."

"Don't worry, teacher, we will."

Xu Zhe'an just wanted to leave here quickly, so he agreed.

Yang Minghui pushed his glasses and patted Xu Zhe'an on the shoulder with a smile.

"I'm worried that Jiang Yun will be affected by her family, and since you two are so close, I hope you can take care of her more in life and bring honor to our class."

Xu Zhe'an had dealt with people before, so he immediately understood what Yang Minghui meant.

It's obvious that he doesn't believe in himself. Jiang Yun has been stable for three years. If he can improve another 20 points and stabilize it now, there will be at least one student in the experimental class who will be admitted to Tsinghua University.

And this was the only time he walked to the front. In the final analysis, he was afraid of not being able to hold his head up in front of the head teacher of Class 2.

Xu Zhe'an clearly remembers that no one from Class 2013 of was admitted to Tsinghua University, and all three of them were in Class .

Although the high school is named Jiangcheng No. 1 High School, the number of students admitted to top universities is far behind that of Normal University Affiliated High School, Jiangda Affiliated High School and other prefecture-level cities.

"Don't worry, Mr. Yang, I will. It's getting late, I have to go back first. Bye."

Xu Zhe'an didn't give Yang Minghui another chance to speak. He picked up his things and quickly left the office.

He quietly came to where Jiang Yun was waiting. She played on the stairs, going up and down, without noticing that he was standing behind her.

"Sister Yun is quite childlike. Let's go home."

"Why did it take so long to get an answer?"

"We talked for a few words."

"Oh, what did you say?"

Jiang Yun put the answer into her schoolbag and asked curiously.

Xu Zhe'an grinned smugly and summarized Yang Minghui's instructions:
"Let me take good care of you, especially in your life."

"You're so dishonest! You lied to me again!"

Jiang Yun didn't believe it at all, and her angry look made her look even more adorable.

"Really? They said we were good prospects for National Tsing Hua University and told us to stay steady and strive for higher goals."

"Really? Liars are puppies."

Facing Jiang Yun's questioning, Xu Zhe'an joked:

"Well, I am."

"Go home and check your answers."

Jiang Yun's face was sullen. She was either teased by him or waiting to be teased all day long. She was speechless.

Xu Zhe'an wanted to walk side by side with her, but she warned him:
"No, I can't cook. If you dare to eat out, I won't cook for you anymore."

Summer is so annoying, with its irritable people and angry Jiang Yun.

Xu Zhe'an was also helpless.

I accidentally looked up at the upstairs and saw Yang Minghui lying on the balcony smoking with a teacup in his hand.

He suddenly had an idea and waved his hand upstairs.

Yang Minghui nodded and signaled him and Jiang Yun to go back quickly.

If you can't earn face yourself, what do you expect us to do?
Of course, Yang Minghui upstairs couldn’t hear Xu Zhe’an’s complaints.

When she got home, Jiang Yun didn't even bother to turn on the air conditioner. She placed Xu Zhe'an's test paper and her own test paper on the coffee table, with the answers in the middle.

At the same time, she took out a red pen and handed it to Xu Zhe'an.

"Repair each other, and then I'll go cook."

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister Yun."

Xu Zhe'an checked carefully and found that the multiple-choice questions were not difficult, and she got all the answers right in Chinese.

I got three wrong in math and six wrong in comprehensive science. Compared with before, this time the number of wrong answers is probably lower.

Less than a minute after he stopped writing, Jiang Yun beside him exclaimed:
"Xu Zhe'an...you."

"What's wrong?"

"The optional question in mathematics is correct."
