Chapter 305 I'll Give You My Life
After ten years of winter and summer, and several springs and autumns, the college entrance examination, which is crucial in my student days, has finally come to an end.
There is still some time before the official graduation. After finishing the last English exam, everyone returned to their respective classes and listened to the nagging of the head teacher again.
"Here is the college entrance examination admissions guide provided by the school and your application form! Go back and study it carefully with your parents. If you have any questions, feel free to call me!"
"The results will be released at noon on the 23rd. You can check by phone or online. Students who live nearby can also come back to school to check!"
"Nine o'clock in the morning on the 25th! Don't forget! Everyone must come back to school at that time to submit your college entrance examination application forms! Collect your original files! And, attend our graduation ceremony!"
"Okay! I hope everyone can achieve satisfactory results! I will give you one last homework assignment!"
"???"
"No?! Mr. Liang, wait a minute! Why do we still have homework?!"
When the classmates were shocked, the always old-fashioned and serious teacher Liang smiled humorously and said: "The homework I assign to you is...have fun these days! Sleep well! Don't think about anything! Enjoy your most unfettered holiday time!"
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then one by one, like horses breaking free from their ropes, they started shouting and venting their emotions, and all kinds of books and papers were flying all over the classroom...
Unprecedented freedom and joy!
……
Left school.
The next time I come back here, it will be the last time for me to step into the campus as a graduate and attend my own graduation ceremony.
Teacher Liang was right. From the moment I finished the exam on the afternoon of the 8th to the moment the results were announced at noon on the 23rd, the period in between was truly the freest, most relaxing and most unrestrained holiday time.
I haven’t had such a long vacation since I entered the second year of high school!
Fang Wei Cailing knew that they accompanied Asheng, Yushan and Pepei to the dormitory to pack their luggage, and then they walked together under the brilliant sunset, leaving the campus talking and laughing.
The school gate was jammed with people and cars coming and going, but no one complained. The students who had just finished their exams were excited, the waiting parents were smiling gently, and even other passers-by who had nothing to do with the matter were looking sideways, as if they were thinking and recalling the same scene they had experienced that year.
After returning home, Tian Xilan prepared a large and sumptuous celebratory dinner.
"Mom, we're back!" Fang Wei said.
"Mom...no, Aunt Lan! We are back!!" Cai Ling said knowingly.
"Auntie Lan! Let's come over!" Yushan Pepe and Asheng said.
"Good good!"
Tian Xilan smiled brightly. Looking at these little kids, she really felt as if they were returning victorious from the battlefield. Thinking about how they were all such tiny kids back then, now, except Yushan, all of them were taller than her!
Um... Yushan! Auntie means that you are the cutest when you are small!
"What a feast! You've worked so hard, Auntie Lan!"
"Auntie Lan is not tired, you guys are tired because of the exam! Go wash your hands and eat!"
"Uh-huh!"
Cailing Zhiyi was responsible for serving the dishes, Fang Wei was responsible for serving the rice, Asheng was responsible for serving the soup, and Peipei Yushan was responsible for pouring Coke and arranging the tables and chairs.
During the two days of the exam, everyone had dinner together at Fang Wei's house.
The celebratory dinner after the exam was the most sumptuous and everyone enjoyed it most relaxedly and happily.
After dinner, the boys and girls helped to clean up the table and kitchen, and then took Tian Xilan to watch a movie together.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening when I got home after watching the movie.
Tonight, Asheng, Yushan and Pepei are all staying at Fang Wei's house. After taking turns taking a bath, they play cards together in the living room.
They kept playing and making noise, and it was almost midnight before they went back to their room to sleep.
There are four bedrooms and two living rooms in the house. Mom sleeps in the master bedroom, Fang Wei and Asheng sleep in one room, Peipei Yushan sleeps in Cailing's room, and Cailing Zhiyi sleeps in Zhiyi's room.
Tian Xilan was used to going to bed early, so she couldn't bear to accompany these young people so late. She went back to her room to sleep yawning after ten o'clock. She was also the first to wake up, waking up naturally at five o'clock.
Seeing that the little kids were still sleeping soundly, she didn't wake them up. She cleaned the house quietly, went downstairs to the market to buy the freshest pork, and cooked a pot of sweet lean meat porridge.
The boys and girls stayed in bed until after eight o'clock, when they woke up one after another.
It’s hard to describe the feeling of liberation when I woke up on the first day of the holiday. I felt light all over, suddenly free of pressure, and didn’t know what to do.
Oh, right, homework!
Teacher Liang assigned the homework of "Have fun! Have a good sleep!"
The first homework in my life is a reward for myself. How happy I am!
After finishing breakfast together and packing their luggage, we left the community together, took the bus to the pier, and boarded the boat back to the village.
As you can imagine, lunch at home today will be sumptuous.
The holidays have begun.
……
Since they met, Fang Wei has celebrated Cai Ling's birthdays together every year, and this year is no exception.
Perhaps it was the wonder of fate that the two girls had the same birthday, June 16th of each year, and were both Geminis.
I still remember that when Cai Ling and Zhi Yi turned fourteen, Fang Wei brought them to the city to celebrate their birthday for the first time, bought them cakes, and they all had a meal together at McDonald's.
That was Cai Ling’s first time to eat cake, and it was Zhiyi’s first birthday without her parents around. Even after so many years, the girls can still clearly remember the taste of that bite of cake.
On June 16th, after the college entrance examination, Cailing and Zhiyi also celebrated their 19th birthdays.
During the holiday, the three of them are still in the village.
Early in the morning, Cailing and Zhiyi took two "birthday eggs" from home and ran to Fang Wei's house to give them to him.
"Mmm, delicious, delicious, happy birthday~! I wish my little childhood sweetheart and deskmate all her wishes come true and she will become more and more beautiful!"
"Gifts! Gifts! Where are our birthday presents!"
"Hey, hey, hey, you came here so early in the morning just to exchange two stupid eggs for my gift?"
"hurry up!"
"It's in my room. Go in and look for it yourself. If you find it, it's yours. If you can't find it, I won't give it to you!"
"Humph!"
After hearing what Fang Wei said, Cai Ling became even more excited. Rather than asking him to take the things out and give them to them, it would be more interesting for her to go into his room and search it herself. So, without caring about Fang Wei, she ran into his room and started rummaging through his drawers.
Fang Wei was too lazy to care about them and sat leisurely in the yard eating eggs.
The cat jumped over too.
"Meow."
"Here, I'll give you something to eat."
Fang Wei pinched some egg whites for July to eat, and July ate it with great relish.
After thinking about it, he realized that he had also eaten the girls' birthday eggs, so he climbed up the big tree again. After a while, he came down with two chirping cicadas in his mouth and ran into the house to give them as gifts.
"Oh! Thank you, July! But I don't eat cicadas, so I'll give it to you."
"Meow."
You don’t know how to enjoy yourself at all. Cicadas with chicken flavor are much more delicious than eggs!
Not long after, Fang Wei in the yard heard Cai Ling's surprised voice.
"Ah! Running shoes! They're mine! They must be mine!"
Cailing was obviously more familiar with Fang Wei's room than Zhiyi. After a long search, she finally found the pair of brand new running shoes under his desk. The cunning Fang Wei even taped the shoe box under the table with tape. Fortunately, she was smart enough to look up, otherwise she would not have noticed it.
Seeing that Cailing had found her gift, Zhiyi became very anxious and scratched his head!
I've searched everywhere I could think of, but I just can't find the gift!
"Quick, quick! Zhiyi, check the places you just searched again. This arrogant Fangwei is too cunning! He must be somewhere you didn't expect!"
After another round of searching, Zhiyi finally noticed the slightly protruding part inside the quilt when he lifted up Fang Wei's quilt. His eyes lit up!
She unzipped the quilt, reached her little hand in, and pulled out a brand new specially customized keyboard!
"Ah! Cat keyboard! So cute! So comfortable to type on! It's mine! It must be mine!"
After receiving the gifts, the two girls were overjoyed. However, they were still not satisfied and continued to search with a greedy look.
"Hey! A wallet! There are two hundred and twenty-eight dollars and fifty cents in it! This is mine, right? It must be mine!"
"Oh! And these conch shells! So beautiful! They must be mine too!"
Fang Wei: “???”
"Hey, hey, hey! Are you here to look for gifts or to be thieves? You took away all the valuables in my room, right?!"
"Hmph, if we find it, it's ours~"
The girls were not polite to him and happily held the 'gifts' they had looted from his room, finally feeling satisfied.
Fang Wei felt both angry and amused, so he just let them make trouble.
After all, it is a birthday, and she still has to celebrate it with her family during the day. However, celebrating birthdays at home basically means having a sumptuous meal, which is definitely not enough for these playful girls.
Without Fang Wei saying anything, Cai Ling, holding the gift, started to instigate him——
"Well, then after lunch, take us back to the city. We'll go to the movies, the amusement park, and grab dolls. We have two hundred and twenty-eight dollars and fifty cents! We'll treat you!"
“…That’s my money!”
"Go on! It's been almost ten days since you came back. The flowers on your balcony must be dying from the sun! Go back and water them!"
"Hmm, let me think about it..."
Fang pretended to be silent.
The sharp-eyed Cai Ling discovered a pimple on his chin.
"Huh? You haven't had acne for a long time, why did you get another one?"
"…I got angry."
“Why do you get angry?”
The girls knew the answer but kept asking. Fang was hesitant to speak, but when he caught a glimpse of their teasing and smirking eyes, he raised his hands in embarrassment and anger. Before the slaps could land on their little butts, the two girls ran away with giggles.
"Let's go back together in the afternoon!! We'll celebrate our own birthdays!! And then... receive presents!"
"My room is almost empty because of you guys, aren't the gifts enough?"
"not enough!"
……
So, after lunch, Fang Wei and the other two set off back to the city to celebrate their birthdays together.
Unlike the warmth of celebrating birthdays with family, when the three of them are together outside, they seem more free and sweet.
During these days in the village, not only Fang Wei was feeling depressed, but Cai Ling Zhiyi was also feeling depressed.
The ferry had just left the dock when the three of them ran to the deck to enjoy the sea breeze, then faced the sea and began to bite their lips...
I thought the pile of gifts that I moved out of Fang Wei's room in the morning was the limit, but I didn't expect it was just the beginning.
When they opened the door and returned to the nest where they had been away for many days, Cailing and Zhiyi were stunned.
I clearly remember that the nest was not like this when I left before?
At this moment, the ceiling was carefully hung with colorful balloons. There were bunches of blooming flowers on the coffee table, dining table, and even their bedside tables. The floor was covered with rose petals. The air was filled with the strong fragrance of flowers, extending from the door to the center of the room, where there was a small table. As Fang Wei opened the refrigerator, took out the cake that had been prepared long ago and placed it on the table, the girls' eyes widened instantly.
"Happy birthday to our Miss Cailing and Miss Zhiyi~~"
“…! Did you prepare all this?”
"Yeah, who else would have kept me busy all day."
"So you said you were going to the city to buy gifts yesterday, but you secretly ran back home to get these!"
"How is it? Are you satisfied, my two princesses?"
“Wow…! I like it!!”
Although people always find it troublesome and are too lazy to go through any rituals, when someone carefully prepares all of this for them and presents it in front of them, the two girls' hearts are filled with surprise and touching.
Cai Ling rushed forward, and Zhi Yi pounced on him, and they pushed Fang Wei down on the sofa, kissing him fiercely. Kissing alone seemed not enough to vent their feelings, so the three of them ran into the room again.
Treat Fang Wei as a gift.
"...Wait, didn't we say we were going to go to the movies, ride the roller coaster, and catch dolls?"
The only response he got was a more passionate kiss from the girls.
"...Wait, there are still some things we haven't bought!...No, when did you buy them?!"
When Fang Wei saw the girls taking out instant noodle seasoning packets from their pockets with red faces, his eyes widened. Who is the prey?
“I bought it with my own will!”
"Cai Ling, just try to pass the buck! It was obviously you who bought it!"
At this point, it doesn't seem to matter who bought it.
As they enter a new stage of life, the girls are already prepared to give their whole lives to him.
Fang Wei's Adam's apple rolled as he met their watery gazes, hugged them tightly in his arms, and accepted these two heavy loves and responsibilities without any scruples...
Outside, the sun is shining brightly.
Inside the house, there is a lot of affection.
The tender voices of the girls, accompanied by the endless chirping of cicadas, melted into the clear sky of midsummer...
……
They came back on the afternoon of the 16th, and it was not until the afternoon of the 18th that the three of them had to leave their home where they had stayed shamelessly for two days in order to go out to purchase supplies.
Buy some meat and vegetables, such as oysters, lamb, okra, yam, black chicken, etc., and also buy some instant noodle seasoning packets.
Unlike Fang Wei who even walked in a frivolous manner, Cai Ling and Zhi Yi had rosy complexions and a hint of charm in their eyes that was not there before.
"I think, oh, can't we have a platonic relationship, where we communicate more with our souls instead of using that... well, this will be good for our bodies and minds, do you think I'm right?"
"Oh, I'm so annoyed, I'll just finish shopping and go home, hehehe!"
"..."
All along, Fang Wei felt that he had no special talent, but in fact, it was not the case. He now felt that he was quite talented in playing group games.
At least when playing games online with the two little maids, I can easily make them beg for mercy.
But the girls have thick health and short skill CD!
For the sake of long-term happiness, Fang Wei still needs to continue to strengthen his physical training and laning skills, and agree on a rest time like before...
I can't stay at home for two days like this anymore, living day and night!
……
At noon on June 23rd, the long-awaited college entrance examination results will finally be announced.
I still remember that when the junior high school entrance examination results were released, the three of us also stayed by the phone together to check the results, and now it is no exception when checking the college entrance examination results.
But there were so many people calling to inquire that I couldn’t get a place in line after calling for half a day.
Fortunately, I had a computer at home, so I quickly used it to search.
Few people have computers these days, so searching online is much faster than making a phone call.
"Check Zhiyi first! Check Zhiyi first!"
"Okay, let's check Zhiyi first."
Fang Wei was typing on the keyboard, entering Zhiyi's candidate number and other information.
After the page flipped for a while, Zhiyi's results came out.
"692 points! Ranked th in the province and st in the city!! Zhiyi!! You are the city's top scorer in liberal arts!! Tuition and miscellaneous fees are waived! And there are scholarships!! There must be scholarships in our school too, right?!"
"hey-hey……"
Although she had already been admitted, Zhiyi was still excited when she saw her results. She thought that if her parents knew her college entrance examination results, they would also be very pleased!
"Zhiyi has finished his check, so let's check Cailing's."
"Ahhh, why don't you check your own first! We've all been admitted anyway!"
"Leave the suspense to the end."
Fang Wei tapped on the keyboard and entered Cailing's candidate number information. After the page flipped for a while, Cailing's results came out.
"Counting the 516 extra points for the provincial champion, the total score is ! There are many provincial rankings, many city rankings... but Cailing! You are definitely the first in the class! Tuition and miscellaneous fees are also waived!!"
"Ahhh! I won't compete with you on this! Check yours!"
Fang Wei was talking too much and too slowly, and the anxious Cai Ling Zhiyi couldn't stand it anymore, so she snatched his mouse and keyboard, entered his candidate number information, and checked his results.
Unlike later generations when the scores and rankings of top students were hidden when checking grades in order to prevent media hype and malicious competition among universities, now the scores and rankings of top students are announced publicly.
As a string of gorgeous numbers appeared on the screen, the two girls became excited instantly!
"Fang Wei!!! Total score: 735 points!! Ranked first in the city!! Ranked first in the province!! Fang Wei! You are the provincial champion!!"
Fang Wei was basically sure to be the top student in the city, but he was a little unsure about the provincial ranking. After all, there were so many candidates in the province, and there were all kinds of outstanding people. Unlike the targeted extra points for colleges and universities given by Zhiyi New Concept, Fang Wei's extra points for Mathematical Olympiad were actually added to the total score. Thanks to those 735 points, he won the provincial top spot with a score of !
That was the provincial champion! Even Xuanzhu No. 1 Middle School, which ranked first in the city in terms of enrollment rate, had never produced a provincial champion in its history.
It is conceivable that Teacher Liang and the school leaders must be smiling broadly at this moment.
Fang Wei also smiled happily. There could not be a more perfect ending to his three years of high school.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry! Call Uncle Feng and Aunt Lan and talk to them!"
Just as I was about to take out my cell phone to make a call, Fang Xianfeng called.
"Awei, have you guys released your results? Ayuan and I are drinking tea at Uncle Liu's house, waiting for your results!"
"That's because he is the provincial number one scholar! Number one scholar!"
"……what?"
Just now the three elders were talking about the grades of the three big kids. Now, they can talk about holding a graduation banquet together!
"1. Do it together?!" The two girls became even more excited when they heard it.
"Yes! We have to do it anyway, so let's do it together! Then we can ask someone to pick a good day! What do you think?"
"it is good!!"
As soon as I finished talking to my elders at home, Wen Susu called me, followed by Teacher Liang, and then almost all my close relatives and friends called me.
The admissions offices of Tsinghua, Peking University, Fudan University and Jiaotong University, who had also checked the public scores, were extremely anxious because they couldn't get through on the phone!
Why is it always busy?! Which company is so shameless that they snatched people away right after the results are released?!
Go to the door! You must go to the door!!
……
No wonder the scores and rankings of top students are hidden in the future. In the following days, Fang Wei Cailing Zhiyi didn't know how many calls she received from the admissions offices of various universities. At the same time, there were also media reporters contacting her for interviews. The top scorers in the college entrance examinations these days are really hyped up...
Fang Wei never refuses anyone who comes.
"...My growing up experience? My family is engaged in mussel farming. Whenever I see that the high-quality and large mussels produced at home are struggling to sell, I make up my mind to study hard and have a promising future, so that I can help my worried parents sell the mussels and let everyone taste these plump, large, sweet and cheap mussels. Now my family has also opened a Pioneer Mussels brand direct sales store in the city. There are no middlemen to make a profit from the price difference, and the quality is guaranteed. Everyone can buy it directly. Mussels are rich in nutrients, and eating more mussels is also very helpful for strengthening the kidneys and replenishing qi and blood..."
Not my friend? Wait a minute! Are you using us to advertise your family business?!
Now, looking at the brand direct sales stores opened by Fang Weijia in the city, they have also put up promotional signs for "No. 1 Mussels", and their popularity has taken off...
……
On June 25th, Fang Wei Cailing Zhiyi put on the black and white school uniform for the last time and attended the school's graduation ceremony as a graduate.
This year's graduation ceremony of Xuanzhu No. 1 Middle School was particularly grand and solemn. As the provincial top scorer, Fang Wei's name was hung on a big red banner in the most conspicuous place at the school gate along with the school's brilliant achievements this year.
The younger students in the first and second year of high school who were still in class lined the streets to welcome the triumphant return of the seniors in the third year of high school. Fireworks shot up into the sky and the school leaders were all smiling.
At the ceremony, the school leaders naturally talked about the overall situation of No. 1 Middle School's college entrance examination this year.
But what everyone is most concerned about is the college entrance examination results of themselves and their friends.
Among them, Du Peipei was admitted to Shanghai Academy of Fine Arts, Wang Yushan was admitted to Zhejiang University, and A Sheng signed a contract with a first-class basketball club in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and began to enter the CBA professional league during college...
Liu Bo, who had disappeared for more than half a year, also attended the graduation ceremony. He joined the national team and was admitted to the Department of Physics at Tsinghua University.
Zhao Yueting, with a score of 718, ranked sixth in the province and will enter the University of Political Science and Law in the future...
In addition to announcing the results, the award ceremony is of course indispensable.
No. 1 Middle School was particularly generous this year and awarded scholarships of varying degrees to all students who had outstanding academic performance this year.
The scholarships Fang Wei received were so generous that they were enviable. One was an 8,000 yuan scholarship for the first place in the liberal arts and science departments of the school, another was a 20,000 yuan special school scholarship for the provincial champion, a 10,000 yuan scholarship from the local education bureau, and an 80,000 yuan freshman scholarship from Fudan University, as well as exemption from various tuition and miscellaneous fees...
A long time ago, Fang Wei had imagined what he would look like on this day.
Should I sit in the audience like most of my classmates, or should I stand on the stage with a big red flower on my chest and take photos with the principal and other leaders like I am doing now?
Should you bow your head with regret, or walk with pride and show joy on your face?
It turned out that neither was the case. At this moment, the greatest feeling in his heart was just a sense of freedom and emptiness.
After the graduation ceremony, everyone returned to the classroom, and Teacher Liang took back the application forms that had been distributed to everyone.
The different school names on the application form are the directions that the students who are currently in the same classroom will go in the future.
"Mr. Zhao, why are you wearing such beautiful clothes today? Where are you going to play?"
"Hey! I'm going to Kaifeng with my dad soon! Let's see the ancient city~!"
"Really? Captain Zhao asked for a long vacation?"
"Huh, I did so well in the exam, shouldn't he take me and mom out to play!"
"Hi to you!"
"Do I look good today?"
"nice!"
"You look handsome today too!"
"Haha, when a man is about to leave, his words are kind, right?"
"You brought a camera, take a picture for me!"
"Okay, then when you come back from your trip, I'll give you the photos when I have time to go to the county."
"Keep the reward for yourself~! Let's go! Bye! Oh, right! You're the class monitor, remember to actively organize the class reunion, okay? I'll definitely come!"
"Okay, okay, I feel relieved when you say that. Bye~"
Zhao Yueting smiled and waved, then left the school first, and started her summer vacation trip with her parents who had been waiting outside.
Fang Wei and Cai Ling Zhiyi strolled around the campus together for a long time. At noon, they had their last lunch together in the cafeteria at No. 1 Middle School. In the afternoon, they played badminton together on the badminton court for half a day. Finally, when the sun was about to set, they packed up and prepared to leave No. 1 Middle School.
They could obviously walk straight to the school gate from the badminton court, but at this moment, the three of them, without any prior agreement, took a detour and went from the first-year teaching building, passing by the Qiming Building, Xingzhi Building, and Zhiyuan Building, just like they did when they went home from school in the past.
Seeing that the back door of the classroom was not closed tightly, Fang Wei paused, opened the door again, and took a look at the empty classroom.
The setting sun shines in, filling the quiet space with gold.
Not long ago, there was a group of people living here. They had been confused, anxious, moved, and worked hard. The books on their desks were taller than their heads.
And now it has spread to all directions.
When he graduated from junior high school three years ago, Fang Wei was the last to leave, and it is still the same today, three years later.
Fang Wei closed the classroom door gently, just like he did before, for fear that the sound of the door closing too loudly would disturb the people who were concentrating on doing their homework inside.
He locked himself up in there for three years of high school.
Perhaps it won't be long before the classroom is covered with dust.
But soon, a new group of energetic people will reopen this place with their full enthusiasm.
"Will they be like us?"
"Who knows? That's their story."
"Let's go~!"
(It’s almost the end. It will be finished tomorrow. Thank you all for your support over the past six months~)
(End of this chapter)
