Time flies by, golden autumn is September, and a new semester has begun again.
In the first week of school, the school organized another placement test based on the students' subject placement. The distribution of examination rooms is based on the ranking of the final examination of the previous semester.
Jiang Suichu ranked 43rd in his grade at the end of last semester and was in the second examination room.
In the last English test, Jiang Suichu met Lu Zhinian and Tang Zi on the way to the examination room. They were in the first examination room, right next to her.
People were coming and going in the corridor, all rushing to their examination rooms.
Tang Zi first greeted her, "Hi, Suisui."
Jiang Suchu smiled slightly in response, and then looked at Lu Zhinian. His hands were empty, his school uniform was unzipped, and he had a nonchalant look on his face, without any sense of nervousness about the upcoming exam.
Jiang Suchu walked beside him and looked him up and down, "Don't you bring a pen?"
No one goes to the examination room empty-handed.
Lu Zhinian turned his head towards Tang Zi and raised his chin, "He is holding it."
Jiang Suichu looked over and saw Tang Zi holding a transparent ziplock bag with several carbon pens and two 2B pencils in it.
Tang Zi put his hand on Lu Zhinian's shoulder and tilted his head to chat with her, "Suisui, are we going to be classmates soon?"
He had seen Jiang Suichu's results, and his science scores were among the top 20 in his grade.
Jiang Suchu smiled and glanced at Lu Zhinian, "Maybe."
The experimental class of No. 1 Middle School, also known as the Qingbei class, has only 30 places. In other words, only those in the top 30 grades in the liberal arts and sciences exams can enter.
Her overall score ranking last semester was 43rd in her grade, and liberal arts were excluded from the subject examination. As long as her English score was stable and she could get around 120, there would be no problem.
Lu Zhinian frowned slightly and looked at her: "Maybe? You can't be more confident."
Jiang Suichu pursed his lips and smiled, pretending to say: "What if the test paper given by the teacher is particularly difficult this time? I am not good at English and I will easily fail in the test."
Lu Zhinian lowered his eyes and glanced at the narrow smile at the corner of her mouth, knowing that she did it on purpose.
He sneered lightly and patted her head, "No way, the students I teach will not be bad."
He has been tutoring her in English every day during this summer vacation, not to give her the chance to slip into another class.
Seeing that Jiang Suchu was about to arrive at the examination room, he was still a little worried and said, "Let me check your pen."
"Ah?" Before Jiang Suchu could react, he took the pencil case in his hand.
Lu Zhinian took the pen bag in her hand and unscrewed the pens one by one to see how much ink was left. Then he made a few more scratches on his hand to make sure there was nothing wrong before returning it to her.
Jiang Suichu looked a little amused as he made several black strokes in his clean hands.
He looked even more nervous than he was.
Lu Zhinian glanced at the smile on her face, reached out and rubbed her hair, "Take the exam well."
"Oh~" Jiang Suchu brushed his messed up hair and glared at him.
.......
It was the weekend after the subject exams, and Pei Shuo and Tang Zi said they wanted to have some fun before classes started officially.
Early on Saturday morning, Jiang Suichu was woken up by the ringing of the phone. She touched her phone in a daze and said, "Hello~Tangtang."
Tang Mi: "Sui Sui, you haven't gotten up yet?"
Jiang Suichu squinted, then opened his eyes and looked at the time on his phone, "Tangtang, it's not even 7 o'clock now."
Tang Mi on the other end of the phone smiled sheepishly, "Oh~ I got up too early."
Jiang Suichu: "......"
She sat up holding the quilt and leaned against the bed, "Tangtang, what's the matter with you calling me so early?"
Tang Mi hesitated, "There's nothing wrong. We're just going to find Jiang Minghao today~ I just remembered to get up early..."
Jiang Suichu smiled and said, "Then you got up too early. Didn't we go there after lunch?"
Tang Mi chuckled twice and said sweetly: "Oh~ I'm just a little excited~"
Because Jiang Minghao's colleague who works part-time at the Internet cafe has something to do today and asked him to cover the shift, he has no time to go out and play during the day. Pei Shuo and Tang Zi wanted to play games again, so they said they happened to go to the Internet cafe where Jiang Minghao worked part-time to play two games in the afternoon, and they would go out to eat together while waiting for him to get off work in the evening.
Tang Mi: "Sui Sui, are you still sleeping?"
Jiang Suichu heard the tentative tone in her tone and said with some humor: "Tangtang, just tell me what you want me to do."
Tang Mi didn't hesitate and said directly: "You can accompany me to do my hair."
Jiang Suchu yawned, tears streaming down his face, "...Now?"
Tang Mi: "Yeah, I'll pick you up now. Let's have breakfast first, then go shopping in the mall, and then get our hair done."
Jiang Suchu yawned again, and a physiological tear fell directly from the end of his eye.
Tang Mi: "Sui Sui, okay~"
Started acting coquettishly again.
Jiang Suichu raised his hand to wipe the tears from the end of his eyes, and could only promise her, "Okay, okay."
Tang Mi: "Yeah! I knew it would be best every year."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Suchu smiled helplessly, lifted off the quilt and got up to wash up.
When she went downstairs after washing, she met Lu Zhinian at the top of the stairs who had just come out of the gym after working out. He was wearing a black sportswear, with Bluetooth headsets plugged into his ears. His hair was wet with sweat, and he combed it back with his hands, revealing a strong and plump forehead.
Lu Zhinian was stunned for a moment when he saw her. He walked up a few steps and stood in front of her. He took off the headphones from his ears and asked, "Why do you get up so early?"
There were three steps between the two of them, and Jiang Suichu could barely look at him at eye level, "Tangtang said she wanted me to accompany her to get her hair done."
Lu Zhinian frowned, raised his wrist and looked at the time, "Now?"
Jiang Suchu looked at him with a baffled expression, the same as before. She smiled and said, "Well, she said she was coming to pick me up."
Lu Zhinian looked at the red eyes and asked, "Are you awake?"
Jiang Suchu rubbed his eyes and muttered: "No~"
Maybe it was because she hadn't woken up yet, but her voice sounded soft, a bit like she was coquettish.
Lu Zhinian looked at her troubled look and curled his lips, "Would you like some coffee? I'll make it for you."
"Hmm~ No." She wrinkled her nose, "It's too bitter."
She didn't understand why Lu Zhinian liked to drink coffee. Although it smelled delicious, it was too bitter.
While the two were talking, Jiang Suchu heard the voices of Tang Mi and Aunt Wu talking downstairs.
Jiang Suichu: "Tangtang seems to have arrived, I'll go down first."
Lu Zhinian nodded, stepped aside, and reminded her, "Remember to bring your cell phone."
Jiang Suichu doesn't play with his mobile phone very much, and he always forgets when he goes out.
