Her Mountain, Her Sea

Not long after the school started, Teacher Ke had a special conversation with You Yu.

"Regarding the qualifications for admission, the teacher briefly mentioned to you last time, what do you think now? If you want to apply, then you must be able to pass it. Your grades in the first and second grades of high school and the competition awards are enough You pass the review. The teacher himself is more inclined to let you be recommended. Your grades have always been stable and you can perform well in the exam. It is not necessary for you to take the college entrance examination. More importantly, it is safer if you Prepare to apply, then we will start preparing now..."

After listening to her, You Yu slowly shook his head, "Teacher, I am not going to apply for a recommendation."

Teacher Ke did not expect that she would refuse. The two top universities had very high qualifications and strict audits. In the past, many students wanted to be recommended but were beaten down. She would definitely be able to get there when she came to Youyu. Why did she not want to?

Without rushing to persuade, Teacher Ke asked calmly: "What do you think, tell the teacher?"

She knows that You Yu has always had her own ideas. Although she is only a teenager, she usually looks good at talking. In fact, she knows what she knows. She is very firm in life and work. If it were not like this, she would not be able to overcome difficulties along the way. She went to school here and demanded herself strictly. If she is unwilling, there must be a reason.

You Yu does have a reason, but part of this reason cannot be mentioned with Teacher Ke.

She said: "I haven't chosen the university I want to go to. Maybe it will not be the two top universities mentioned by the teacher. I think other schools are also very good, mainly depending on the major I want to go to. And the third year of high school is also for me. It’s very important, and the friends around me. I want to finish the third year of high school with them and take the college entrance examination together."

She had been thinking about this very early. Chi Tang may not be admitted to the same school as her, but even if it can't be the same school, she can't be too far away from her, preferably an adjacent school. In this way, there is still a year to go, and it depends on Chi Tang's thinking, she can't make a decision now.

Moreover, the third year of high school is so important, she really wants to help her friends, besides Chi Tang, there are also Wei sisters. Want to take the college entrance examination with them, this is the truth. Maybe after going to university, after graduation, she will go further and further, and the contact with friends will gradually decrease, so now, she must cherish this year.

As Teacher Ke said at the beginning of school, the third year of high school should be their coming-of-age gift to them. For her, spending time with friends and loved ones and helping them are her gifts to herself.

You Yu did not share these detailed thoughts with others. Although Teacher Ke felt it was a pity, she refused, and eventually respected her wishes. She only repeatedly told her that she could not relax in her third year of high school, and must continue to work hard.

Learning is painful, in other words, it is painful to constantly recognize one's own deficiencies, and learning is the process of constantly exposing (exposing) one's deficiencies.

In this compact study life, there are not only hardships, but also flashing tiny happy moments. It may be an evening self-study, everyone sings together; it may be the fruit and candy, an orange or a cow (milk Nai) candy that Teacher Ke suddenly came to distribute; it may be a movie secretly played by the English teacher in English class... …

For You Yu and Chi Tang, this tiny happiness may be more specific and private.

Occasionally, the eyes met inadvertently during class, the same song I listened to in the evening, the shared snacks, and the sudden hand when I was climbing the stairs together. Their hot palms are like this hot summer day.

.

They learned a little bit ahead of time in the second year of high school, and the speed of class is even faster now. Some students can’t accept this speed, so they have to study hard to make up for it after class. Many people finally know why in a building on the former high school third year, people rarely see people after class. It turns out that everyone has to race against time.

At the same time, the frequency of their exams has increased, with large and small exams one after another. The questions given by their own school teachers and the test papers issued by other schools are sometimes not formal, and the desks are not separated, so they are allowed to take the exam as usual.

Even the students who hate exams the most will get used to it in this environment, and the thickness of the test papers on everyone's desk is increasing.

As a teacher's little expert, he is serious and reliable in his work, and Yu Yu, who is very popular among teachers of various subjects, is often recruited by the teachers to help correct the test papers. In view of the frequent examinations, so many test papers that need to be corrected have also become a huge challenge.

As You Yu's girlfriend, Chi Tang's test papers were corrected by You Yu eight out of ten times. It is obviously impossible for her to find her test papers for correction.

Correcting the test papers for my little girlfriend is of course different. Some teachers correct the wrong question and unceremoniously draw a big cross to express their anger. According to their anger level, the ability of those red crosses is well documented. And You Yu won’t. Chi Tang’s wrong questions are drawn in circles. It really shouldn’t be wrong. She will put a small question mark not for Chi Tang, but for herself. Chi Tang is more likely to make mistakes. She probably knew better than Chi Tang himself.

On Chi Tang's test paper, in addition to the standard red circle (hook gou) that comes from You Yu at first glance, there are occasionally small flower expressions drawn in red strokes. I don't know where You Yu sees it.

Once, Mr. Ke did not let You Yu do the work, and handed out the test papers by himself. She read the names one by one and asked them to pick them up. When she read Chi Tang, she suddenly yelled and raised the test paper and asked, "Chi Tang, why are there two small flowers painted next to your name?"

The little flower with red strokes is obviously not Chi Tang's own masterpiece. Teacher Ke understands it when he thinks about it, and suddenly feels funny. You Yu is usually so stable, and he is very lively with this kind of playful thinking about good friends. So in front of her classmates, she joked: "Because Chi Tang did a good job this time, you can draw two little red flowers for her to encourage you?"

The whole class laughed, and Wei Xingxing and the others laughed loudly. Chi Tang covered his forehead, a little unable to face these simple teachers and classmates.

No, blush.

Later, You Yu drew Xiaohua's small expression and hid it in the corner of her test paper.

Occasionally, Chi Tang will see a small letter in an inconspicuous place in the corner of the test paper, sometimes behind the English reading comprehension, and sometimes hidden behind the composition.

"What does this mean? The different marks mean how well I am doing this time?" She asked the tablemate next to her with the test paper.

The same table answered her: "Just handwritten."

If it wasn't for her face suddenly reddened so badly, Chi Tang would believe it.

Chi Tang felt curious and went to find the answer by himself. In fact, it was very easy. As the number of exams increased, she turned out the stack of test papers with letters, and each letter was spelled "lveyu" easily. The scumbag who was scumbag was very sensitive to certain two words, not to mention Chi Tang. She saw at a glance that there were two letters o missing, and she found it soon. Those two o's were drawn as two careful ones at all, she didn't count them in the letters before.

Because she didn't expose it, You Yu continued to write letters secretly, sometimes writing, sometimes not writing, and hiding it more secretly, and then successively spelled out a "forever".

loveyouforever

Chi Tang: ...I usually watch it silently, but use the test paper to confess. Swimming Xiaoyu, I never thought you were such a fish.

Because of such a secret confession, it seemed to her that even the test papers had become a little cute.

In October, Chi Tang received a notice.

Her father Chi Zhang was sentenced to death for the crime of deliberately killing someone.

The day I received the notification was a sunny day. It had rained for almost a full week before that. It was a rare sunny day. He should have been in a good mood, but Chi Tang was completely unable to control his emotions. As long as he heard the name Chi Zhang, She couldn't help but think of those terrible things.

She didn't say anything, but she seemed very silent all day, and she didn't eat anything for lunch or dinner. Before going to study in the evening, You Yu pulled her and asked her to sit on the edge of her bed, squatting in front of her and pressing her knees, "I'm asking for leave for you. You don't have to go to study in the evening, you are in the bedroom. Do you have a rest?"

Chi Tang endured the emotions of the day and suddenly broke, she bent down, buried her face in her arms, and sobbed softly.

You Yu held her head and combed her hair with his hands, "It's not sad, it's okay."

Chi Tang was lying on her (bed chuang) in the class bell of the evening self-study, with her head resting on her legs, and the two quietly watched the sunset outside the window.

"He is dying."

How many complicated feelings rushed to my heart in an instant, relieved? As if yes, she no longer needs to be afraid of this person. But how sad? She seemed to be the same. She called her father for so many years and was abandoned by her mother early. She was still dependent on that man, but in the end, the feelings were not worth mentioning, leaving her with nothing but painful memories.

She is like an orphan, lost once and lost again.

Sitting up, wiping away her tears, took a deep breath, she didn't want to feel sorry for Chi Zhang.

You Yu hugged her sideways and said to her, "We will always be together, college together, and after graduation."

Chi Tang: "University...I shouldn't be able to go to a university with you."

You Yu: "Well, then go to two adjacent universities, and you can live off campus together. Don't be afraid, I will support you later."

Chi Tang: "You said that when you were sixteen, and what you said at sixteen counts?"

You Yu told her earnestly: "Well, it counts up to the age of ninety-six."

It seems to be moved now, but Chi Tang suddenly felt a sense of reluctance to admit defeat, "Maybe who will support whom by then."

You Yu: "Okay, then I can raise you, you can raise me, and you can raise each other."

Anyway, she can be happy.
