gradually.
The students who were having fun around him also became quiet and looked over following the sound.
Chen Fan ignored the changes around him and continued singing in a low voice.
"La la la... la la la
I don’t want to grow up too quickly
The dream we promised at the beginning
How are you now? I miss you
Can we go back to the past?
Back to that summer after the rain
Let's stand side by side and talk about our wishes
Sitting on the beach where the breeze blows
Miss the past and cherish the present
Don’t want to say goodbye to youth
…”
Chen Fan's voice is deep and slightly hoarse, coupled with emotionally charged lyrics.
Soon many classmates were infected, and some girls even secretly wiped away tears.
Su Ruochu stood there quietly. Behind me is the rain of test papers falling.
In front of him, Chen Fan was wearing jeans and a white T-shirt, gently strumming the guitar.
Clean, sunny and full of unique charm.
Listening to the other party singing affectionately, "That summer after the rain, we stood side by side and talked about our wishes..."
Su Ruochu naturally thought of the rainy night a few days ago.
That night, she agreed to Chen Fan's pursuit.
As she listened, her eyes became red.
"I don't want to grow up too fast
The original dream has come true
It's just that you're not around
I miss you..."
Chen Fan repeated the last sentence twice, and after finishing singing, returned the guitar to the classmates around him.
There was applause all around.
Chen Fan didn't care, but stared at Su Ruochu and smiled brightly.
"Does it sound good?"
"Sounds good!"
Su Ruochu blushed and nodded repeatedly.
"What's the name of the song?"
"miss you."
"Um?"
"I said... this song is called "Miss You"."
Su Ruochu was a little confused: "Who sang this? Why have I never heard it before?"
Chen Fan chuckled and said boldly.
"I write."
"Written just for a certain girl."
I recited silently in my mind, Brother Qi, I'm sorry.
You have so many classic and good songs, I guess you don’t mind if I copy one.
After hearing Chen Fan's words, Su Ruochu blushed again, but felt happy in her heart.
"sounds so good."
"I love so much."
Chen Fan bent down and whispered into Su Ruochu's ear.
"If you like it, then I will sing to you from now on, just to you alone, okay?"
Su Ruochu's face was hot and her heart was beating fast.
He hesitated for a moment before nodding softly.
"Um."
The party that lasted for almost an hour was finally over.
Everyone began to pack their belongings and prepare to leave school.
Chen Fan didn't have many things. He only carried a schoolbag and exam textbooks. The rest of the books and exam papers were sold to the aunt downstairs who collected scraps.
Three years of knowledge was exchanged for thirty-two dollars and sixty cents.
I used the money to buy two bottles of Coke and ran back to the classroom.
As a result, Su Ruochu's seat was already empty.
Chen Fan was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and ran towards the school gate.
After finally rushing to the school gate, he saw Su Ruochu standing on the roadside holding her schoolbag from a distance.
There was a black Mercedes-Benz parked nearby.
There is also a very fashionably dressed young woman who is helping to put books into the trunk.
Chen Fan stopped and watched this scene from a distance.
When Su Ruochu was about to get in the car, she glanced in the direction of the school entrance as if she had a tacit understanding.
When she saw Chen Fan, her eyes lit up with joy.
"Mom, I suddenly remembered that I forgot to pick up something. Please wait for me."
"What did you leave behind? If it's not important, don't ask for it."
"No, it's extremely important."
Su Ruochu had already ran out.
Panting, he rushed into the school gate and stood in front of Chen Fan.
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I thought you left without saying hello."
Su Ruochu secretly glanced behind her.
After confirming that the mother outside could not see what was going on here, she suddenly took a step forward and gently hugged Chen Fan.
After hugging him hard, Su Ruochu quickly separated and took two steps back.
"Chen Fan, don't forget what you promised me."
"Tomorrow's college entrance examination, you must take it well."
"Whether you can get admitted to the same school as me or not, as long as you promise me to perform well, I...I am willing to be your girlfriend."
After saying this with a blushing face, before Chen Fan could speak, Su Ruochu turned around and ran back outside.
"I will pass the exam."
Staring at the opponent's back, Chen Fan shouted loudly.
After watching Su Ruochu get into the car and leave, Chen Fan returned to the classroom feeling a little disappointed.
It turned out that Guo Shuai was back.
Chen Fan walked over and handed the other person a bottle of Coke in his hand.
"How about it?"
Guo Shuai nodded and shook his head.
"What's the meaning?"
Guo Shuai looked up.
"I told her, but she..."
"Refused?"
Guo Shuai shook his head.
"She didn't agree but she didn't seem to... refuse."
"What do you mean?" Chen Fan was a little confused.
"She said she wouldn't tell me the answer today and would give me the answer after the college entrance examination."
Guo Shuai scratched his head.
"Do you think this is a rejection of me?"
"Li Na really told you this?"
Guo Shuai nodded.
"What do you think she means?"
Chen Fan smiled and scolded: "Of course they said that because they were afraid of affecting your college entrance examination."
"So she refused?"
"That's not necessarily the case."
"Anyway, I don't think Li Na is disgusted with you. Otherwise, I wouldn't have dinner with you these days."
Seeing that Guo Shuai still looked depressed, Chen Fan patted him on the shoulder.
"Okay. Pack your things and leave."
"Now you'd better prepare for the college entrance examination first."
"As you said before, if someone passes the exam, you will fail. Then even if someone wants to agree to it, you won't have a chance."
Guo Shuai suddenly stood up.
"That's right. You have a point."
"I have to perform well. I want to be like you and try to go to the same school as Li Na."
Chen Fan smiled.
"That's right."
After being enlightened, Guo Shuai seemed to come to life again.
"Let's go, let's go. I have to go to the examination room in the afternoon."
…
night.
Chen Fan sat alone at his desk and carefully read all the recorded knowledge points of the test questions one after another.
There was a knock on the door behind me.
Mother Li Jinqiu opened the door and walked in.
"Son, don't look too late. We have exams tomorrow."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "I know, Mom, you can go to bed early. I'll watch it for a while and then fall asleep."
Li Jinqiu came over and put a cup of hot milk on the table.
"Drink this before going to bed. It will help you sleep."
"Thank you, Mom."
Li Jinqiu rubbed his son's head lovingly.
"Do not give yourself too much pressure."
"Although your father hopes that you can get a bachelor's degree to honor your ancestors, he actually asked me to tell you secretly that it doesn't matter even if you don't pass the examination. We can still go to a junior college and work in a factory after graduation."
Chen Fan couldn't laugh or cry.
"Mom, I understand."
"Okay, go to bed early. Don't forget to drink the milk."
Li Jinqiu gently closed the door and went out. Chen Fan sat on the chair, not in the mood to continue reading.
Looking at the hot milk on the table, Chen Fan's eyes gradually became firm.
Since you have to live again, you have to live your life in a personal way.
For my parents, for Ruochu...
I want to get ahead.
Let’s take the college entrance examination tomorrow as the first step to changing your life.
Chen Fan clenched his fist slightly and murmured in a low voice.
"Tomorrow, jump over the dragon gate!"
