Chapter 75 Part 1
On the day when the preliminary results came out, most of the students in the small black room were in high spirits. The first hurdle of the exam was over.
Although the semi-finals were a lot harder, as long as a student won a spot, even if it was second or third place in the province, they could qualify to enroll in an ordinary Project 211 university or a 985 university. Their future would have more than one path.
Zhang Man was also in a good mood. After dinner with Chen Feier, she went for a walk around the courts that she didn’t go to often before.
She was too busy during this period of time. Sometimes she had no time to have dinner at all and she would only eat bread. She also hasn’t eaten with Chen Feier for a long time.
During summer, the days were long. It was already six o’clock in the evening, but the sky was as bright as day.
The thunderstorms in July and August had passed. It was followed by a few weeks of sunny days, which was hotter.
Fortunately, there was a little wind at night.
School had just started, and there were a lot of new faces. The students who just entered their first year of high school had not experienced the urgency of studying in a short period of time.
They still lived in the freshness of a new school and a new life experience: playing basketball in the courts, walking around. Everyone was full of youth.
It was said that the most excited people on a high school campus were definitely the first years in high school. Second years were indifferent, and third years were depressed.
And it was not unreasonable.
Zhang Man and Cheng Feier passed through the rows of evergreen trees and walked on the path paved with stones next to the courts.
The school had always done a good job with the greenery. Except for the weeping willows by the river, every corner of the school is full of flowers and trees. It was particularly noticeable during spring and summer. The whole campus was full of greenery that made everyone feel peaceful.
As they walked out of the forest, there was a whole row of tall camphor trees in front of them. The camphor leaves color gradually became tender green in early spring.
September was the end of summer every year, and it was also the time when the camphor trees were the most luxuriant. When they walked close to it, there was a woody smell in the air.
On the other side of the path, there was a long wooden corridor. On the top of the corridor, there are dense wisterias. The purple flowers dotted the green vines and hung down like a waterfall. The breeze made it float gently and dreamily.
Chen Feier took Zhang Man’s arm, and rubbed her head onto her shoulder. “Man Man, I really envy you. Will I be able to go to college if I take the exam again next month? You can still be with your dear boyfriend. Wuwu, I have another year to endure.”
Zhang Man pushed her head away and rolled her eyes.
It was really hard for students in high school, and Chen Feier felt really sorry for their homeroom teacher.
She couldn’t stand studying and she spends a lot of time being lazy every day. A few days ago, Zhang Man heard that she brought a mini mahjong set to school to play. She lived a free life.
She stroked her head and said jokingly, “It won’t be easy. There will be another round next, and there will be the final next month. Have you seen how I’ve been tired and thin lately?”
Chen Feier examined her. “Tsk tsk tsk, that’s true, your face seems to be sharp again. Is your precious boyfriend okay? Man Man, you have worked too hard. I called you last night, but it was so late and you were still studying. That’s why I hung up the phone and got scolded by my mother. She told me to learn from you, but she didn’t think it through. We’ve known each other for so many years, and if I could learn from you, then I would have learned a long time ago instead of waiting until now… it’s not easy for the good students either. Forget it, I’ll just be a scumbag. Hehe.”
Zhang Man didn’t bother to worry about her. This girl’s life was good, she was carefree in a good way.
As Chen Feier was talking, she thought of another topic. “By the way, the relationship between you and Li Wei was exposed a while ago, and the school’s forum went viral for a long time. During that time, I heard that outside the school is filled with heartbroken boys and girls every day. Haha, do you think they had a crush on Li Wei or you more? But some people are really strange. Did you hear? The boy in our class, Jiang Jingran, who asked me to give you a gift, do you remember him? A while ago I heard something extremely depressing. In the past few days, I heard that he suddenly started chasing after a girl in her first year… I was so angry. I really helped him for nothing, I thought he was so affectionate.”
Zhang Man smiled and patted her. “I don’t like him. You expect them to always like me.”
Many times before you meet the right person, a person’s feelings during their youth would not just be for you.
“I don’t think he will like you forever. Think about it, he was still crying every day during summer vacation, but it’s been a while and he hooked up with a younger girl. Isn’t he too flirty?” Chen Feier wrinkled her nose and complained. She wanted to continue complaining when she suddenly saw a person sitting in the secret lawn. “Man Man, look over there, isn’t that the girl who sits near you? She’s in the competition, what’s her name? It looks like she’s crying.”
Zhang Man looked in the direction she was looking at. Sure enough, in the middle of the tall fir trees and on the grass, a slightly chubby girl was curled up with her knees in her arms. Her shoulders kept shaking.
It was Qi Lele.
