Chapter 123 The sprint moment before the exam
Wu Xianyu's purpose of being lazy was not achieved. Although Lin Miaomiao was walking in front, she also kept her attention on Wu Xianyu. She would notice anything wrong immediately. When she saw Wu Xianyu sneaking on the train without calling her, Lin Miaomiao immediately pulled Mai Ju on the train and started to criticize Wu Xianyu after they sat down.
"Okay, you dared to sneak away without calling us, you are getting too independent now."
"That's right, if you dare to sneak away now, I don't dare to imagine what you will do in the future."
Mai Ju was assisting on the side while Wu Xianyu leaned helplessly on the chair and endured Lin Miaomiao's verbal attacks. He just wanted to playfully tease Lin Miaomiao, watch her walk to Orange Island with great effort and then see himself waiting for her leisurely at the finish line. Unfortunately, he had no ability to sneak and was caught red-handed.
Fortunately, there were other people in the car, and Lin Miaomiao didn't go too far. Seeing Wu Xianyu's expression that said "I was wrong", she snorted and let him go, then turned around to discuss with Mai Ju how to play next.
When we arrived at Orange Island, quite a few people were already there, most of them were students from elite middle schools. They gathered in groups of three or four, some taking photos, some playing games, and doing all kinds of things.
Wu Xianyu and Jiang Tianhao were video chatting. Under the sunlight, he squinted his eyes and looked at Jiang Tianhao on his phone.
"It's a pity you didn't come"
"It's not a pity. Compared to going out to play, I would rather make some money. When I make money, I can go wherever I want to play."
In the camera, Jiang Tianhao was leaning against the head of the bed with an indifferent expression. Wu Xianyu didn't say anything. This was Jiang Tianhao's own choice. After chatting for a few more words, Wu Xianyu hung up the video call and followed Lin Miaomiao and the other person in front of him.
We were at Orange Island in the morning, and in the afternoon, the school took the students to visit nearby scenic spots. Compared with the natural scenery near Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are more spiritual scenery here. Without a certain amount of knowledge, it is difficult to fully understand the meaning of these attractions.
Wu Xianyu felt as if his head was filled up as he listened to the tour guide's explanation. Men have no resistance to such stories about giving orders and making speeches.
After dinner arranged by the school, everyone returned to the hotel. Wu Xianyu returned to the room and lay directly on the bed. Jiang Tianhao, who pretended to be sick and asked for leave and did not go out to play, was very surprised to see him like this.
"Hey? What are you doing? You're so tired."
"I didn't do anything, I just heard too many stories and my brain was a bit slow."
After taking off his clothes and getting into bed, Wu Xianyu slowly exhaled.
"I'm going to sleep first."
After saying that, Wu Xianyu took off his glasses, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.
On the last day of the school trip, the school arranged a trip to Yuelu Mountain, one of the few natural attractions in Changsha.
“It’s the mountain again.”
Wu Xianyu looked at the green, vibrant mountain in front of him and couldn't help but sigh.
“I really don’t want to climb mountains anymore”
"Hey, no need to climb this time, there's a ropeway."
When Lin Miaomiao heard Wu Xianyu's complaints, she patted him on the shoulder happily and told him the good news.
But Wu Xianyu couldn't be happy at all. He glanced at the students around him and looked at Lin Miaomiao.
"When do you think it will be our turn to ride the cable car among so many people?"
"Uh"
Lin Miaomiao really hadn't thought about all this. She just heard the teacher say there was a cable car and thought it would save some energy. Now she looked at the hundreds of people around her and scratched her head.
"Let's go, crawl slowly"
Fortunately, he didn't have too much burden on him, otherwise Wu Xianyu might just play at the foot of the mountain. Lin Miaomiao saw Wu Xianyu walking towards the mountain, so she hurriedly pulled Mai Ju to follow.
Walking up the mountain path, Wu Xianyu could always see many dirt paths along the way, which looked like unplanned roads that had been walked out by people.
When passing by a small path again, Wu Xianyu stood there and looked around. Lin Miaomiao followed behind him and looked at the small path in front of him. Then she looked at Wu Xianyu.
"How about taking a look? I'm also curious about what's inside."
"Then go in and take a look."
"Hey, hey, you two, please consider my feelings. Don't you think this place is a little scary?"
Mai Ju hugged Lin Miaomiao's arm tightly, with a nervous look on his face. This path blocked by trees and without signboards looked scary, so why did he go there specifically?
"Oh, it's okay. There are so many of us. As long as we don't encounter ghosts, there will be no problem."
"Don't you think it's easier to encounter ghosts than people in places like this?"
Mai Jue complained, and just as Lin Miaomiao was about to say something, Wu Xianyu's voice came from the front.
"I don't think any ghost would dare to act so recklessly here."
The two walked a few more steps and saw Wu Xianyu. He was squatting in front, wiping something with a piece of paper in his hand.
"This is a martyrs' cemetery. I guess the other paths are the same."
Wu Xianyu wiped the dust off the tombstone and moved away from what he was blocking so that Lin Miaomiao and Mai Ju could see it.
The two girls stopped laughing and became more serious. After a while of silence, Wu Xianyu spoke again.
"Let's go, now we know what's in the alley."
Lin Miaomiao looked at Wu Xianyu's back, feeling a little worried, wondering if he would think of something. She took a few quick steps and looked at Wu Xianyu's profile. Seeing that he looked normal, Lin Miaomiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Wu Xianyu saw her expression, guessed what she was thinking, smiled and said
"Don't worry, I'm still open-minded"
"Oh, if you feel uncomfortable, remember to tell me."
Lin Miaomiao still gave a worried reminder, and returned to Mai Ju. Seeing Mai Ju's puzzled expression, Lin Miaomiao didn't know how to explain it to her, so she could only fool her.
"It's Xianyu's family's business, I can't tell you"
"Then don't tell me, I have no interest in your boyfriend"
Seeing Lin Miaomiao's embarrassment, Mai Jue teased Lin Miaomiao and changed the subject.
Yuelu Mountain is not too high, and it didn't take long to reach the top. Wu Xianyu looked at the lively scene on the mountain and was about to buy something to drink when Jiang Tianhao's voice came.
"Oh, what a coincidence, you just came up."
Wu Xianyu looked in the direction where the voice came from, and saw Jiang Tianhao standing not far from him with a snack in one hand and a milk tea in the other. Judging from the completeness of the snack in his hand, he probably just came up not long ago.
"It's a coincidence. I wasted some time looking at those small roads on the way."
"Oh, what's in that path? I saw it on the way, but I didn't think of going in to see it."
Jiang Tianhao walked over, took a bite of the snack, saw Lin Miaomiao and Mai Ju, and nodded as a greeting.
Wu Xianyu walked towards the shop and explained to Jiang Tianhao
"I didn't visit all of them. I just went to a small path, which was a martyr's tomb."
"The Martyrs' Tomb"
Jiang Tianhao's expression also became a little more serious. He looked up at the scenery not far away.
"That's normal. The Hunan Army is quite famous."
After taking a sip of water, Wu Xianyu changed the subject.
“Is there anything delicious here? I’m a little hungry.”
"Just some normal snacks, good to fill up the stomach." After playing on the top of the mountain for a while, Wu Xianyu and Jiang Tianhao met up with Lin Miaomiao and walked down the mountain together.
After lunch, Lin Miaomiao breathed a sigh of relief when she got in the car.
"It's over. This is the last school trip."
"It's over. The only thing left to do when I get back is the exam."
Wu Xianyu mentioned something after her, which somewhat ruined Lin Miaomiao's good mood. She originally wanted to teach Wu Xianyu a lesson, but Lin Miaomiao suddenly felt that there was no need to do so. That was the fact, and it could not be changed by teaching him a lesson.
We took the bus to the high-speed rail station and took the high-speed rail for an afternoon back to Jiangzhou.
After a night of rest and two days of classes, it's the weekend again.
After returning home and finishing his meal, Wu Xianyu took out his notebook and continued to make plans. There were no other holidays except Labor Day, which was very suitable for the final sprint. The school also had a final sprint plan, but Wu Xianyu felt that it was not suitable for him and Lin Miaomiao, so he made a plan himself.
So, when Wu Xianyu took out a dozen extracurricular exercise books in front of Lin Miaomiao, Lin Miaomiao was horrified and pointed at the questions.
"What does it mean?"
"Study for the college entrance examination"
Wu Xianyu patted the questions, taking it for granted, but Lin Miaomiao couldn't accept it. She looked at Wu Xianyu with the last bit of luck.
"This is yours, it has nothing to do with me."
Raising his eyebrows, Wu Xianyu sat down and sat face to face with Lin Miaomiao.
"So do you want to improve with me?"
Lin Miaomiao really wanted to shake her head and say no, but when she looked into Wu Xianyu's eyes, her original shake of head that was intended to refuse turned into a nod of agreement.
Wu Xianyu smiled and hugged Lin Miaomiao into his arms.
"Your share is also here. Please hold on for the last fifty days or so."
Lin Miaomiao looked at the questions that were piled up as high as her calves, and wanted to shout "I can't do it!" After thinking for a while, Lin Miaomiao hugged Wu Xianyu's waist with her backhand, shook her body, and her tone became pretentious.
"Brother, can you give me less? I'm afraid I can't hold on if it's too much."
Wu Xianyu tried hard to keep a straight face, wanting to be more serious, but he had no way to deal with Lin Miaomiao's coquettish offensive. Finally, he gave up and lowered his head to touch his forehead with Lin Miaomiao.
"Don't worry, you don't have to answer all of them. Forget about the simple questions. The main questions are the big questions and additional questions. You can just answer the small questions to change your mind."
Chinese people always like to compromise, and the master's words are applicable at all times. Sure enough, after Lin Miaomiao heard what Wu Xianyu said, the expression on her face improved a lot, and she even rewarded Wu Xianyu.
However, Wu Xianyu was obviously not satisfied just like that. Lin Miaomiao wanted to end it after just one kiss, but Wu Xianyu held the back of her head. Now it was not up to her to decide whether to end it or not.
Under Lin Miaomiao's constant punches, Wu Xianyu finally let go of Lin Miaomiao and took a few deep breaths. Lin Miaomiao wiped her mouth and stared at Wu Xianyu.
"You're going to suffocate me to death. I don't even have enough air left."
"Who knew you were going to hold your breath? You didn't hold your breath when you kissed before."
Wu Xianyu looked like a rogue while playing with Lin Miaomiao's hand. Lin Miaomiao wanted to pull her hand back, but Wu Xianyu held it tightly. She struggled for a few times, but seeing that it was useless, Lin Miaomiao gave up.
After kicking Wu Xianyu several times, Lin Miaomiao spoke in dissatisfaction.
"I didn't intend to kiss you for so long this time. I just wanted to kiss you once and that was it. I wasn't prepared at all."
"Are you ready now?"
"Come again? Hmm."
It seems that I am well prepared this time, Wu Xianyu thought to himself as he felt Lin Miaomiao's breath hitting his face.
Separated again, Wu Xianyu patted Lin Miaomiao's butt
“Okay, time to do homework.”
Hearing Wu Xianyu's words, Lin Miaomiao opened her eyes wide and spoke in disbelief.
"Do you have to be so cruel? You won't even give me time to relax?"
"What's there to wait for? Just write it down."
Seeing that Wu Xianyu had already taken out paper and pen to start doing his homework, Lin Miaomiao had no choice but to resign herself to her fate. She sighed deeply, sat next to him and started writing.
Back at school, during the lunch break, Lin Miaomiao sat next to Mai Ju, doing her homework while complaining
"Xianyu is really a jerk. Why does he have to write so much? Wouldn't it be fine if he just maintained his last performance?"
“You’ve already written it down, what else can you say?”
Mai Ju was relatively relaxed. The results of her art exams had come out and she had passed the exams of several schools she had applied to. Now all she had to do was to meet the requirements for the college entrance examination and she could go to any school she wanted.
"Besides, Xianyu did nothing wrong. If you don't believe me, just look at what other people are doing after class. I was sitting at the back and saw it clearly. They were all working on extracurricular questions."
"Damn, do we have to be so competitive? It's hard for everyone to maintain good grades. Do we have to hurt each other like this?"
When Lin Miaomiao heard what Mai Jue said, a look of pain appeared on her face. She was now numb when she saw the questions. She had no other emotions at all. She just had to start writing when she got the questions.
"There are always people who want to push forward. You can't stop people from setting out for good goals. In the college entrance examination, some people go up while others go down. If you maintain your grades, as long as others make progress, you will regress. So, if you want to maintain your grades, you have to write it."
After Mai Ju finished speaking, he patted Lin Miaomiao on the shoulder. Looking at the painful expression on her face, sympathy emerged on his face. Fortunately, she was an art exam candidate, so the pressure of academic scores was not that great.
In the evening, Lin Miaomiao hurriedly finished her meal and returned to her room to continue doing her homework. It was not just Wu Xianyu who assigned her homework. The school teachers also assigned her a lot of homework. Although not all of the questions were difficult, the time required was still considerable.
"Tuk Tuk"
"Enter"
Lin Miaomiao didn't even raise her head and answered sparingly.
Wang Shengnan walked into the room with light steps and placed the hot milk next to Lin Miaomiao. She felt a little distressed when she saw her writing furiously and her sitting posture was a little deformed.
"Can't you write it tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow has tomorrow's homework"
"Why do you have so much homework all of a sudden? It's interrupting your rest."
"Oh, it's almost over. There are only a few questions left. Do you have anything to do? If not, please get out."
Wang Shengnan didn't have any temper at all when being kicked out by Lin Miaomiao. It was already May and there was only a month left before the exam, so she might as well be a little unrestrained.
Back in the master bedroom, Wang Shengnan saw Lin Dawei still holding his phone and looking at something, and couldn't help but speak
"What are you looking at? Why aren't you sleeping yet?"
Hearing Wang Shengnan's voice, Lin Dawei raised his head and called her
"That's great. I don't know much about these foundations and relief organizations. Can you help me figure out where to donate the money?"
After a while, Wang Shengnan finally remembered something. She climbed onto the bed and sat next to Lin Dawei. She looked at the page on his phone.
"I'm not very clear about these things. Don't look at them for now. It's so late. Go to bed and look at them tomorrow. By the way, Tang Yuanming's wife is almost due. I'm going to go see her. Do you want to go?"
"It's not convenient for me as a man, so I won't go. I still have to work on selling the house."
"Okay, okay, I'll go and see for myself then."
