The rising new grade nine number has become a new hot topic on the forum, and Song Heming is not worthy of having a reputation, and has long become a speckle of dust in history.
Except for a few Wuxin forums, students of Group 7 fought against the trolls for 300 rounds under the leadership of Cen Rui. They watched the posts gradually get banned by the administrators, and then turned their attention back to the increasingly frequent exams and lectures.
“There are still three exams this week, and there are competition-related briefings on weekends.”
Ding Zhengjiao took this week’s schedule and read it from the podium in the self-study room: “Students involved in the exam will receive the seating arrangements tomorrow, and the weekend lecture will be given by a teacher who specialises in tutoring chemistry competitions in the province. They will randomly receive test papers on the spot, and the subjects are not fixed, each person is limited to one…”
Halfway through the summer camp, there are more and more lectures of various kinds, and various exams related to self-enrollment are mixed in between the intense rehearsals every day.
Under the leadership of the team leader Ding Zhengjiao, seven groups of students set up a mutual aid group to help students who have exams to find information, bring meals, striving to provide each candidate with the best environment for exams preparations.
Yu Sheng got the job of bringing meals. These days, he and Jin Linkun flipped over the wall to head to the night market, causing a very attractive aroma to occupy the entire corridor on the fourth floor for several consecutive nights.
The students of Group 7 became more and more familiar with each other, and their resistance towards the evening self-study sessions were fading. Only after the words fell, the following became lively.
“Can you all go? Help me, and I will thank you later!”
Xia Junhua quickly rummaged through the arrangements on the phone: “The one who came on the weekend is Hangyu*, and their secret test papers are of very high quality, they cannot be bought in the market!”
*(The name of a school)
After all, the proportion of students who participated in the competition is small, and each person is limited to one set of test papers. Even if everyone goes, they will not be able to get multiple sets of test papers, so they can only ask other students to help them make up the number.
Xia Junhua begged for help back and forth, and asked all the people he could ask for: “I will help you with the questions later, I can also help you attend any lectures you don’t want to go…”
Lao Wan happened to walk past the evening self-study room, so he came in for a quick look, listened to it for a while, and was very interested: “Can I go too?”
Xia Junhua was too involved in finding someone, so Xia Junhua didn’t notice the teacher coming in, and was taken aback: “Wan, Teacher Wan. They may only want students—”
“It must be possible.” Cen Rui reacted quickly and covered his mouth, “Mr. Wan, we all agree that you only need to change into a school uniform and wear a hat, and there will be no problem sneaking into our group.”
Xia Junhua: “…”
Lao Wan was very happy, asked about the time and place, made an appointment with everyone, and strolled out the back door.
As soon as Lao Wan’s figure disappeared outside the door, Xia Junhua rushed over, grabbed Liang Yifan’s neck and shook: “Are you serious? Why didn’t you alert us when Mr. Wan was around!”
“I’m sitting in the second last row, and it’s not easy to be on the lookout all the time.”
Liang Yifan resisted stubbornly: “If it was the discipline master, it’s good to alert us. If Lao Wan comes and we reacted, Do you think you are worthy of Lao Wan?”
Cen Rui added: “Although Lao Wan came to check the evening self-study, besides octopus balls and roasted gluten, has he ever confiscated other things?”
That question was reasonable and well-founded, Xia Junhua opened his mouth, glanced at the two big shots in the last row who were immersed in the ocean of knowledge together harmoniously, and sat back convinced.
“To be honest, I think Lao Wan’s style doesn’t match the H High he came from…”
The more he thought about it, the more curious he became, and he couldn’t help poking Kong Jiahe, the deputy team leader who was rarely doing a quiz: “Lao Kong, is your teacher Wan like this in H?”
Kong Jiahe seemed to have something to say from just now, but he didn’t know how to join the chat. Being poked by him, he breathed a sigh of relief and blurted out: “Student Xia, I can also help.”
“…” Xia Junhua had almost forgotten his original intention, and thought for a while: “Okay, great, thank you, deputy team leader.”
Kong Jiahe adjusted his glasses, grinned happily, and seriously set the alarm clock for the weekend, then buried his head down and continued to study the questions.
Xia Junhua leaned on Liang Yifan’s shoulder and looked at it for a while: “I seem to understand.”
Before finishing the topic in his hand, Liang Yifan raised his head with a pen in his mouth: “Huh?”
“That’s it.” Xia Junhua touched his head, “Everyone’s pretty cute.”
Even the hell-levelled schools* are the same, except that they are a little harder than others, but they are actually quite cute.
*(Schools which has a curriculum pushing students to study so hard it seems like hell, basically top-tier schools)
He was still feeling emotional, but Liang Yifan’s shoulder under his arm suddenly trembled.
Xia Junhua was puzzled: “What’s the matter, am I wrong?”
Liang Yifan pushed his arm away, and solemnly emphasised, “Yes, that is, I may not want to hear this word for the time being.”
Xia Junhua: “Which word?”
“Adjective.” Liang Yifan guided the way precisely, “The one after the adverb.”
“…”
The top student in the mainland, Xia Junhua, flipped through the Chinese grammar book on Kong Jiahe’s desk and sat back in his seat.
After the evening self-study, in order to express his gratitude to the whole group of students for their generous support, Xia Junhua must invite everyone out for dinner.
“I’ll be on stage next week, and I have to find a more suitable place.”
Ding Zhengjiao was very conscientious, and divided the timetable of the seven groups of students into blocks very carefully: “Let’s go KTV, the midnight show is cheap. Except for Kunshen and Sheng-ge, the rest of us should bring our instruments there,we can eat snacks and rehearse.”
The seven groups of top students were very well-behaved, and half of them had never been to a KTV before, so they were so excited that they immediately started packing their things.
“Why are they all so enthusiastic?” Xia Junhua was dumbfounded, “Are they still the little fellows who came into summer camp, stepping on the path of light to pursue knowledge?”
Cen Rui: “No, I shoulder the two important tasks of harmonica and maraca. Don’t stop me from stepping on the path of light to pursue art.”
Liang Yifan: “Can KTV accommodate me whistling? Will people come and disturb me like a hot pot restaurant?”
“No.” Cen Rui patted him on the shoulder, “It’s the waiters who always bother you in hot pot restaurants. They think your induction cooker is going to explode.”
Liang Yifan happily started to pack his schoolbag,and under the awestruck gaze of a group of people, he made a series of familiar turns, and asked Kunshen in the back seat for the addresses and prices of various KTVs.
Under the enthusiastic participation of Group 7, Jin Linkun gathered all the places they could go for eating, drinking and having fun around N High, and they were all sorted out very neatly. The KTV place was decided on and the address was sent to Liang Yifan.
Xia Junhua still felt that the world was changing too fast, so he turned around, trying to seek comfort from Kong Jiahe: “Deputy team leader, are you going too?”
“Yeah.”
Kong Jiahe seriously put down his pen: “Teacher Wan said that this month may be a month that we will remember deeply for many years, so if there is a chance, we must try everything we can do at this age.”
Xia Junhua opened his mouth, rubbed his hair, but didn’t speak.
A group of people left the school by flipping over the wall, and under the friendly guidance of Kunshen, they chose a KTV with a moderate price and good conditions, and booked the largest box.
Even though they came to rehearse, a group of academic top students couldn’t help being excited when they came to a brand new world. They put down their school bags and musical instruments, and explored the new world first.
Cen Rui ran around, touched the microphone, touched the screen, and pulled the people around him to the song request screen: “This is too simple! What song do you want to sing? I’ll give you—”
Cen Rui: “Let’s queue…”
Seeing the erhu that Kong Jiahe took out from behind, Cen Rui cleared his throat: “Deputy team leader… are you going to play now?”
“I’ll give it a try and see if I can keep up.”
Kong Jiahe put some rosin on the bow and put a cloth on it: “You can sing, don’t worry about me.”
“…”
Cen Rui’s hand hesitated in front of the screen for a long time, but he still deleted a row of passionate love songs in the queue, and reopened the golden years category of songs on the leftmost column.
The microphone of KTV has magical power, even those who are out of tune can’t help but try it twice, and there is a certain chance to trigger the ultimate effect of holding the microphone and not letting go.
The piano couldn’t be moved,Jin Linkun’s plan to go back to the dormitory to get the small electronic piano was squashed by Yu Sheng before he could even mention it. The two of them had nothing to do, so they leaned on the sofa and watched the seven groups of students line up in an orderly manner to sing into the microphones between rehearsals.
Yu Sheng played the piano for more than ten years, and he couldn’t stand the completely out-of-tune noise piercing through his ears. He reached out for a piece of orange and ate it. He leaned on the sofa with headphones on and read page after page of geography important key points.
The quality of the fruit plate in this store is good. When Yu Sheng stretched out his hand while flipping through the book, wanting to take another piece, a plate of oranges was already placed in front of him.
They were all peeled, and they were arranged in a circle in a yellow and clear manner, with toothpicks stuck on them, and they still had a fresh and refreshing fruity fragrance.
Jin Linkun, who was no longer catching up on sleep, looked at him sideways, his eyes bent: “What else do you want to eat?”
“Have you recovered from your insomnia?” Yu Sheng stuffed an orange petal into his mouth, glanced at the rich fruit plate that was missing one slice, “Forget it, leave something for the others to quench their thirst.”
Jin Linkun smiled, moved a little closer, and ate a slice of orange.
Playing the piano requires not only a sense of musicality, but also muscle memory, which can only be achieved by intensive practice day after day. Recently, they have allocated a lot of time to practise the piano, and the time for revision has gradually been reduced.
Yu Sheng still had to catch up on the content that he had hardly read in the first two years of high school, so he picked up the plate and delivered it to him, moved the book to a slightly brighter place, and turned another page.
The open book was suddenly pressed by a hand gently.
The book was placed on his lap, the constant force exerted by the hand was felt on his lap through the pages of the book.
“Look at it after we go back to the dormitories, you’ll hurt your eyes here.”
Jin Linkun pressed the book and patted it twice: “If you’re bored, I’ll accompany you outside to get some fresh air.”
The lights in the KTV box were extremely flamboyant. Jin Linkun specially instructed Cen Rui to turn on the overhead light, but the light was still dim. It was still okay to look at one another under the lighting, but it took a lot of effort to read a book.
“Not bored.” Yu Sheng sat up a little, took off an earphone, and looked at the students of Group 7 who let their repressed nature go wild: “Aren’t you going to sing a song?”
Jin Linkun looked up, looked at the group leader of the seventh group who had a whole new world opened up to him by the microphone, smiled and shook his head: “Forget it…can’t reveal too much.”
It’s rare to see this person acknowledging that he shouldn’t show-off too much. Yu Sheng raised his eyebrows and couldn’t help guessing: “Do you have better skills than playing games?”
“…” Jin Linkun who, till now, had not upgraded his roommate’s gold to platinum rank, touched his nose, and tried to explain: “My friend, that was an accidentt—”
Before he could finish the explanation, he was interrupted by howling ghosts and howling wolves.*
*(describing rambunctious bunch of classmates)
“Kunshen, Sheng-ge!”
Cen Rui danced around all night and became more and more bold. He came to ask for help: “Help, the team leader insists on continuing to sing, only you can stop him…”
Yu Sheng raised his head, looked at Ding Zhengjiao who was gazing at the screen affectionately and the seven groups of people who were in pain, and couldn’t help but twitch his lips.
Recently, Jin Linkun has been getting along well with the people in the seventh group, almost answering every question they had. Yu Sheng didn’t worry about it, so he put the earphones back into his ears, lowered his head and flipped through the book leisurely.
“…”
Cen Rui covered his chest: “Sheng-ge, you can’t ignore it just because it’s fun. The noise cancellation function of the earphones is also limited. I don’t believe that the penetrating voice of the team leader can’t affect you…”
“Actually the noise cancelling headphones is quite good.”
Jin Linkun was very considerate to help explain: “There are songs playing in it, unless someone is talking close to the ear, you can hardly hear it.”
“Is the effect so good?”
Cen Rui couldn’t believe it. Looking at his very convincing appearance, he couldn’t bear to doubt for no reason: “Then what should we do? If this continues, it may be that we will be the first to die…”
Kunshen is very reliable in being helpful, raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered for a while, and lowered his voice to provide an idea.
