Chapter 1 Awards
Zhou Shi threw the big and small bags in her hand on the ground, and gasped at the school gate against the scorching sun. until the horn sounds.The electronic door slowly opened.She slowly moved the things on the ground aside, looked back, and whistled presumptuously.Hey!Famous cars!I don't know which rich son or brother it is.

The tail of the whistle has not disappeared, and the car has already sped away.She took out a tissue to wipe off her sweat, and looked around to see if she could meet someone she knew.Zhou Shi was very thirsty, so he ran to the nearby canteen to buy a bottle of frozen mineral water, and gulped down half of the bottle.The afternoon sun was really poisonous, bright, and uncomfortable as if it was on fire.

"Hey! Zhou Shi—why are you here?" Lin Feifei came out from the inside, looked at Zhou Shi who was pouring mineral water with his hands on his hips, and asked in surprise.

Lin Feifei is holding a floral parasol, dressed coolly, with her long hair casually scattered on her shoulders, wearing a camisole with a Kitty cat pattern and a denim miniskirt, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin, which attracts people's imagination, and wears stiletto sandals, which makes her look even more The legs are slender and the figure is too good to say anything.However, the students here are accustomed to beauties—beauties are not afraid of rare things, but of being overwhelmed.

"Oh, Lin Feifei, it's you! I just came back from outside. Are you going out?" Zhou Shi stood beside Lin Feifei, almost a head shorter.

"Yeah, it's been two weeks since school started, and you just went back to school?" Lin Feifei glanced at the three big bags on the ground, which contained a lot of miscellaneous things such as clothes and food.

"No, no..." Zhou Shi hurriedly explained, "The teaching building of our department has not been renovated yet, so we don't have to go to class for two weeks." In fact, she went to work part-time as an artist for a company. A friend introduced her, and it lasted for two weeks. , day and night, working hard, just finished, and finally got a huge sum of money - two thousand silver.

Lin Feifei said "Oh", and looked down at the contents of the bag carefully. Beef jerky, potato chips, candied dates, walnuts, chocolate... everything is there.Lin Feifei smiled and said, "What do you want to buy so much food? Treat guests or open a small shop?" Zhou Shi smiled and said, "Of course I eat by myself!" After being tired for so many days, I have to reward myself.So as soon as she got the extra money, she rushed to the supermarket immediately.

Lin Feifei showed a jealous expression, raised her eyebrows and said, "Be careful to fatten you to death!"

Zhou Shi smiled triumphantly and said, "I can't get fat no matter what I eat... Who told you not to eat!"

Lin Feifei stared angrily.Lin Feifei is a student of the acting department and must control her weight.The so-called acting department in this school, that is, the modeling class, walks the stage.Those students usually eat, and they are used to eating half of it.A piece of cream cake that is as big as a little bit requires constant ideological struggle.After finally gritted his teeth and stomped his feet to buy it, he broke more than half of it without hesitation and threw it to the trash can aside. The poor cake drew a beautiful arc in the air—this was what Zhou saw with his own eyes.

Even so, the teachers of the performance department still said that most of the students were underweight and overweight.

At this time, a boy came out from the campus, dressed in fashion, his shirt was only buttoned two buttons, and his chest muscles were faintly visible.Zhou Shi shrugged his shoulders and said hello: "Hi, Gao Yang!" Gao Yang is currently Lin Feifei's boyfriend, and like her, he is also a student of the acting department.Boys in the acting department can be described as rare—there are less than ten boys in the entire acting system. Just like this school, the yin prospers and the yang declines.Zhou Shi stood in front of him, a head and a half shorter.

Zhou Shi privately felt that these male students in the acting department were mediocre, not very handsome, with unrefined facial features, and frighteningly tall, but it was true that they had very different temperaments.

Lin Feifei held Gao Yang's arm and wanted to leave, but before getting into the taxi, she poked her head out and said, "Zhou Shi——have you received a scholarship?" She saw Zhou Shi's name on the bulletin board at the entrance of the cafeteria .

Zhou Shi nodded and said, "Well, it seems to be some kind of Yunma scholarship. What's wrong?" She filled out the application form, but her total score was 0.5 points lower than that of the other boy, so she missed out on the national scholarship.There is only one National Scholarship for each department.

"Then you're still standing here in a daze? Isn't today an awards ceremony?"

Zhou Shi was taken aback: "What award ceremony?"

Lin Feifei looked at her strangely, and said, "You don't know? The school specially prepared an award ceremony for you students who received scholarships, just today."

Zhou Shi was so busy these days with his part-time job that he didn't even go back to school, so he didn't know about it, so he hurriedly asked, "When? Where is it?" Lin Feifei tapped her forehead in thought, and then asked Gao Yang beside her, After a long while, he said, "It must be the auditorium. It seems to be three o'clock. It has nothing to do with me, and I don't really know."

It is now two minutes past three.Zhou Shi was shocked, thanked her, and hurried to the auditorium.Carrying so many things is tiring and getting in the way.After thinking about it, it must be too late to carry it back to the dormitory, so I ran to the nearby teaching building, found a classroom nearby, threw the things into the podium cabinet, and ran to the auditorium.

The school has always been procrastinating, saying that it is three o'clock, and it will definitely not be held before 03:30, so Zhou Shi is not really in a hurry.

As soon as I arrived at the auditorium, I saw a dark crowd, but there was no sound.The leaders of the school are already sitting on the rostrum.When Zhou Shimao walked in through the back door, he took a special look at his watch. It was only ten past three, but in front of him, it was obvious that the awards ceremony had already begun.She thought dejectedly that she had never been so punctual for a meeting before, and it was rare to be late once today, but she was so unlucky to catch up.

She found an inconspicuous seat in the back row and sat down, preparing to accept the award when she was called.As soon as she sat down, someone next to her recognized her and said, "Hey, Zhou Shi, you're here! Teacher Xiao from your department is going crazy looking for you, so ask anyone! Why don't you hurry up and find him !" She hurriedly asked: "Oh! Why do you want me?" The man shrugged and shook his head, expressing that he didn't know.

Zhou Shi reckoned that old man Xiao hadn't seen him come to accept the award, so he asked people everywhere.She leaned over and saw Old Man Xiao standing on the other side of the auditorium, so she asked a classmate she knew to pass on the message.Mr. Xiao was in his late forties, and was already "extremely smart". He wore a pair of round glasses from the 70s and [-]s with a serious face, so everyone secretly called him Old Man Xiao.When he heard that Zhou Shi was coming, he frowned, and walked this way, without talking nonsense, he just said briefly: "Zhou Shi, sit in the first row." He used a commanding tone.The winning students all sit in the first row.

Zhou Shi didn't dare to talk nonsense, so he could only awkwardly walk to the first row under the watchful eyes of everyone.Someone immediately got up and gave up his seat, vacating the best seat, facing the rostrum.Her scalp was numb, and it was difficult to refuse in front of so many people, so she had to sit down pretending that nothing had happened.

The leaders in the school began to speak, which was nothing new.Zhou breathed a sigh of relief, it was all clichés, and his ears could hear cocoons.A burst of drowsiness hit her, and she couldn't help falling asleep.But the leaders above were all staring at her. Under her nose, even if she had the guts of a leopard, she would not dare to be so arrogant.

In order to pass the boring time, Zhou Shi took out his mobile phone, turned it to vibrate mode, and quietly took it under the table to send a text message to Li Mingcheng—"I'm getting a scholarship today, come here quickly, I'm treating you!"

Li Mingcheng grew up with her, and he can be called a childhood sweetheart. Now he is studying in Tsinghua University. He is a top student in the Department of Physics.

After waiting for a long time, Li Mingcheng did not reply to the text message.Guessing he didn't hear the text message, Zhou Shi made another call.While dialing, Bi Qiujing next to her poked her.She hurriedly raised her head, whistled in her heart, and asked in a low voice: "Who is this person?" Bi Qiujing smiled and said, "Is he handsome? Wei Qing, the president of Yunma, is really young and handsome!"

Bi Qiujing is a famous figure in the Department of Chemistry, and the teacher used her answers as a reference standard to approve the test papers. Naturally, this time she was awarded a national scholarship.This person has no other distractions in studying and is tireless. He goes to self-study on time every day and is unshakeable.Zhou Shi once thought that she probably wanted to win the Nobel Prize in Chemistry and win glory for the country.

In this school, the students of science and engineering are completely different from the students of the art department.Lin Feifei and Bi Qiujing are representatives.

Zhou Shi glanced at the person who was speaking on the stage, and saw that this person was tall and tall, with deep features, a high nose bridge, thin lips, and a lack of blood.White shirt, dark suit, tie well-behaved, meticulous expression, solemn and majestic, giving people a serious feeling, revealing the atmosphere of successful people all over the body.

Zhou Shi raised his eyebrows, and asked Bi Qiujing in a low voice, "Why did the school invite him?" Zhou Shi had also received a scholarship before, but the school had never held such an award ceremony with such great fanfare!Bi Qiujing whispered: "I heard that the school is going to build a new cafeteria and wants to get Yunma's sponsorship, so we specially held an award ceremony. Doesn't our school have a Yunma scholarship? Find an excuse to invite him over, and you have to win over before asking for money." .” Zhou nodded, that’s why.Unexpectedly, the scholarship she won was provided by this person in front of her.

Wei Qing's speech was polite and decent, and there was nothing sensational about it. He just hoped that the students would "continue to work hard" and "make great progress and make further progress".But at the curtain call, there was thunderous applause in the auditorium, which lasted for a long time, and some female students deliberately screamed while taking advantage of the chaos.Of course Zhou Shi knew why, she smiled, and said to Bi Qiujing with disdain: "It's not that exaggerated! I'm not too young, I'm depressed, my face is pale, I'm depressed, I seem to be a workaholic, and I don't have much fun—why? Will so many people miss him?"

Bi Qiujing gave her a white look and said, "What do you mean you are not young?! She is not yet 30 years old!" Zhou Shi smiled and said, "That's a bit old." For her who is only 19 years old, 30 years old is simply impossible. imagine.Bi Qiujing asked back: "Then what kind of man do you think is good?" Zhou thought for a while and said, "Clean, gentle, familiar, and smart..." Before she could finish speaking, Bi Qiujing suddenly pulled her to stand up.Many award recipients are walking to the rostrum.

The host teacher announced loudly: "Zhou is a classmate of Class 804 in the Fine Arts Department, and a winner of the Yunma Scholarship. Everyone applauds and welcomes." Zhou took the award certificate from Wei Qing, the president of Yunma.Wei Qing stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Zhou is a classmate, congratulations, please continue to work hard." Zhou Shi hurriedly reached out his hand and gave him a good shake, too hard, a little at a loss.She is not used to such a formal way of meeting.Wei Qing didn't seem to notice her nervousness, and quickly let go of her, and handed out another award certificate to the student next to him, shaking hands in congratulations as well.

Zhou Shi looked on coldly, he was not even under his chin, and the thick shadow covered him, making the threat of his height more obvious.Looking closely at his appearance, the eyebrows are the eyebrows, the eyes are the eyes, and the facial features are distinct. Compared with the bald and beer belly school leaders present, his appearance is not satisfactory. No wonder many girls screamed.Seeing his unsmiling appearance, he probably couldn't imagine that there are so many girls admiring him.

Zhou Shi suddenly felt the phone vibrating in his pocket. It must be Li Mingcheng calling, and now she can't answer it, so she can only be anxious.While no one was paying attention, he reached into his pocket, fumbled, and kept making small movements.Everyone's feet were sore, and they finally waited until the talkative party secretary finished his "passionate" speech.

As soon as the awards ceremony was over, the students dispersed and rushed to the door.

Zhou Shi was not in a hurry to leave, and stood under the rostrum to make a phone call: "Li Mingcheng, I went to the stage to receive the award just now, so I didn't dare to answer your call. Are you here now?"

"The one who took a taxi has already arrived, at the gate of your school."

He is always there, whenever he is called.Zhou Shi was very happy in her heart, smiled and said quickly: "Then just wait a little longer, I'll go there right away!" When she took a shortcut and slipped out the back door, she saw the school leaders shaking hands with Wei Qing one by one to say goodbye. They nodded and bowed one by one, with a courteous attitude, like stars holding the moon.She felt a chill in her heart, turned a corner, and walked across the grass next to her.

Li Mingcheng put his hands in his pockets, seeing her running all the way, he quickly waved his hands and said, "Hey—Shishi, here!" Shishi is Zhou Shi's nickname.She was originally called Zhou Shi, but after going to school, she found out that there were two Shi Shi in her class alone, so she changed her name to Zhou Shi in a fit of anger.So much so that later, when many people heard her name, they thought it was a boy.

Panting heavily, she commanded Li Mingcheng: "Go, buy some ice cream, it's so hot!" While fanning the wind with her hands desperately, her long and short hair was even more messy.Li Mingcheng had sharp eyes and quick hands, he grabbed her who was about to leave and hurried to the side, saying: "Be careful of the car!" A black Lamborghini just passed by and almost got scratched.

Li Mingcheng taught her: "You don't look at the road, what if you bump into it?" Zhou Shi made a mischievous face.Li Mingcheng thought, the owner of this car is too arrogant, he dares to drive so fast in school, and doesn't slow down when he sees people standing aside.

Seeing Li Mingcheng frowning looking at the car going away, obviously dissatisfied with the owner's behavior, Zhou Shi pushed him nonchalantly and said, "Okay, okay, nothing happened. Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner. Li Mingcheng was surprised, and asked: "So early? It's not even five o'clock." Zhou Shi said with a smile: "Eat slowly, eat him for two or three hours, it's rare to go to a restaurant." She was already hungry, and lunch I haven't eaten yet, and I'm starving right now.

Zhou Shi took Li Mingcheng to a restaurant on the corner of the street, and said: "Don't look at the humble appearance of this restaurant, the business is booming! It is authentic Sichuan cuisine, a time-honored brand, and it is very famous in this area." Naturally, the price is not cheap.Although it was still early, there were quite a few guests.The place is a little cramped, the aisles are narrow, and a little crowded.The two picked a table by the window and sat down. This seat was facing the cinema on the right front.Zhou Shi thought to himself, just watch a movie after dinner to digest.

She proudly ordered a few big dishes that she was usually reluctant to eat, and then ordered steamed crabs. Li Mingcheng stopped him and said, "Shishi, you can finish it by yourself in a while!" Zhou Shi looked at the menu, and the two of them really ate. Not finished, so give up.A meal was full of wind and clouds, and it was hearty.The two of them drank a bottle of Erguotou and five bottles of beer before returning home exhausted.Zhou is a drinker, not to mention Li Mingcheng, Zhou was brought out by him.

When it came time to check out, Li Mingcheng settled the bill first.Zhou Shi was dissatisfied and said, "I got a scholarship, so I should treat you to dinner!" Li Mingcheng laughed and said, "There's no reason for you to pay for me." He pulled her and walked out.At this time, the night has fallen, the lights are on, the vehicles on the road are constantly flowing, and the lights from the floor-to-ceiling windows are bright and warm.This is a lively city.

The cool night wind blew, sobering up a little, Li Mingcheng helped Zhou Shi to walk back.Zhou Shi was so drunk that his cheeks were flushed, and he said vaguely, "Li Mingcheng, do you want to watch a movie?" The huge poster of the movie theater hung down, and the female star on it was glamorous and glamorous, with bright red lips.

Li Mingcheng sighed and said, "Shishi, you drank too much, I'll take you back first." His tone was somewhat helpless.Zhou Shi walked unsteadily, but his consciousness was still clear. He said, "Okay, it's late, and you should go back to school. I'll watch the movie later."

Li Mingcheng asked: "It's senior year, have you thought about what to do in the future?" At this time, most people are worried about their future.Zhou Shi said nonchalantly: "What else can we do? Let's figure it out!" His feet were weak and he almost tripped.Li Mingcheng hurriedly supported her, and asked again: "Do you want to find a job or take a postgraduate entrance examination?"

Zhou Shi thought for a while and said, "Maybe I'm looking for a job. After reading books for so many years, I'm stupid." Then he asked Li Mingcheng casually: "What about you? Postgraduate entrance examination?" Li Mingcheng nodded. He studied theoretical physics. , of course, is to continue to study.

The two walked back slowly.Li Mingcheng said: "Shishi, you are still young, you should take the postgraduate entrance examination. It is always good to study more books. How do you say this? When you are ready to use your books, you will hate less. The Academy of Fine Arts in our school is very good." Li Mingcheng Ming Cheng was already relatively young in the class, while Zhou Shi was in the same grade as him, but two years younger than him.

Zhou Shi curled his lips and said, "With my grades, how can I get into Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts! English is the first problem, and I haven't even passed CET-419!" Yes, Zhou is the only one in the class who has passed the fourth level, not only the fourth level, but also the sixth level, and the score is unprecedentedly high.So this time the national scholarship is Zhang Shuai, not Zhou Shi.In June, Zhou scored 350 points in the CET-[-] test, ranking second in the class.And the school has an unwritten rule that students in the art department can get a graduation certificate as long as they pass CET-[-] with a score of [-].

Li Mingcheng said angrily: "Who told you not to study hard? When you were in high school, didn't you speak English very well?"

Zhou Shi sighed: "I was forced out before." In fact, she was not good at English all the time. After thinking about it, she said, "Li Mingcheng, if I can get into your school, my dad will be so happy! Tell me! Not to mention how face-saving it is. By the way, you are going to take the postgraduate entrance examination of your school, right?" In this way, the two of them could become alumni again, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt good.

Li Mingcheng shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Probably. Our school's diploma can bluff people." He is thinking about going abroad, but he is just thinking about it. Just didn't tell her.

Zhou Shi thought about it carefully, and the postgraduate entrance examination seems to be quite good. If you take the public examination, not only will you not have to pay tuition fees, but you will also have living allowances, saving you from commuting from [-] to [-] and suffering from the boss's idleness every day.So she waved her hand, patted her chest and said, "I've decided, I won't look for a job anymore, I'll take the postgraduate entrance examination!"

Is Zhou talking nonsense after being drunk? She really wants to take the postgraduate entrance examination and really wants to be with Li Mingcheng.

Li Mingcheng sent her to the girls' dormitory, paused, and then asked, "Shishi, have you paid your tuition?" Zhou Shi nodded and said, "Yes, my dad took a long-distance transportation and called me." I paid a lot of money." He nodded, and then asked: "So do you have enough money?" She hurriedly said: "Enough, enough, don't forget, I just got a scholarship." He said "Yes" and said : "Okay, you go up, it's getting late, call me if you have anything, don't hide it."

The two lived on the same street and went to the same school from childhood to adulthood. He knew the situation of Shishi's family very well, so he asked this question.Since Shishi's mother passed away due to illness and spent a lot of medical expenses, her family's financial situation has plummeted, and the tuition fees of the art college are frighteningly high, and daily expenses such as paint, paper and pens should not be underestimated.For some students of the art department, it costs thousands of dollars just to buy pencils for sketching, not to mention other expenses.

Art is something for the rich, and Zhou struggled very hard.
