The sound of hundreds of chairs dragging across the floor echoed through the examination hall like thunder as the first hour passed. What's 'Happy Hour'? The students took leave of it. Students were not allowed to leave the examination hall until the first hour of the examination session had passed, which meant that there would be a mass exodus for the next 60 minutes. If you finish it in an hour-because it's easy-you'll be relieved. If it's because you've given up and accepted failure, then you should go get drunk and reevaluate your academic future.
Luo Chong did not leave the "happy hour", he almost registered a person's happiness and frustration, the sound of students migrating out of the examination hall. No, he was too focused on solving his system of linear equations to solve physics problems. He would have been working on matrix equations for nearly twenty minutes. He did a few simple mental calculations to arrive at his solution.
There was a sobbing sound coming from somewhere in the sea, students scribbling desperately on exam pamphlets; Someone broke the pencil case... The stress of exams in post-secondary education institutions is one of the main causes of anxiety and depression in teenagers. For Luo Chong, this was nearly four months of living alone. It turned out that the relationship between exam pressure in the same list was difficult. Luo Chong quickly wrote, scolding the difficulty of the exam, but his professor would ensure that every question was answered satisfactorily.
When he finished the last question, he sighed, pushed the chair away from his desk, and before pushing it back with his long legs, he gathered the vast space in front of the inquisitor's desk, calculator, writing utensils, and student ID. Luo Chong glanced at his watch. Two hours and fifteen minutes. The exam time was three hours. He felt that this number was quite good. He handed over the test papers and pamphlets, searched his coat and backpack at the dining table, and left.
He was finally free.
Luo Chong took out his phone from his pocket and turned it on. He replied to the text message that he would accept it, which he had to close, mainly hoping that he would have a good Christmas holiday and promising to hang out for a month. However, there was no one whom he wanted to hear about the most, his ex-girlfriend Jenna. They broke up at the end of August, when they both returned to school. She went to a university out of the state, but he lived in the city because the engineering program at the local university was one of the top in the country.
Luo Chong sighed. She was in the city, and he hoped that she would want to see him. They started dating in high school, from the second year of high school to the second year of university. Four years had just ended. It would always be a way for each other. Luo Chong hoped that Jenna would be happy to see the long-distance relationship that made her miserable, so when she tried to end it, he didn't hold on. They had been emotional the whole time they had set off. They were still friends with the promise, and it was still the time to talk.
It had always been real, but the emails and text messages had dried up. Due to Luo Chong's wishes, they had to break up. This was only a temporary thing until they came back together for a few weeks. The most difficult thing was to see her own photo on her Renren account. What was she wearing? She went to pick up some boys with her female companions at night. They were there! Because they were so " open." Luo Chong sometimes worried about what Jenna's brain was doing in university.
He warned himself, reminding himself that she was only doing what they should do. Move. His friends tried to set him up with the girl they were sure he hit it off with. They were all not good enough, too beautiful, even beautiful, but no one could compare to Jenna. His friend Wayne told him he should take the first chance, and he got it so he could move forward. Luo Chong thought that he might be right, and of course agreed with his sexual desire.
Even though Jenna had gone out to steal his job. All his sports all the way up to high school, not exactly a big deal, but close enough, his popularity in that circle, if he chose to join them at their party in the cafeteria. The problem was that he had always been too smart. He was just a top student and was on the honor roll every year in high school. Joining clubs in other schools, Jenna had applied to a similar university as him because of her insistence. The nosebleed helped him relieve the pressure of working overtime. He would start dealing with the old problems of separating Jenna and losing him a year ago: The gender.
Now that work was his only form of release, he began to work harder. Luo Chong continued to swipe his card through his text message to find something, and considered choosing a Jenna for himself, but he decided against it. He needed to move on, and it was obvious that she had to do so. Nothing that didn't wait would never happen. He told himself before, but he always returned to hope.
It made him feel weak, like it shouldn't bother him so much, it shouldn't hurt him anymore, but it didn't. Not only did he lose his girlfriend, but he also lost his best friend. Luo Chong sighed. His phone slipped out of his jeans pocket and he pulled out his jacket.
In the corridor, through the window, he could see that the snow had yet to melt, that the December storm was coming, and that they were calling for a "Christmas party." Instead of going to the gym, Luo Chong decided to go straight home that afternoon. He walked to the stairs and the steps where the ground level dropped. When he reached the stairs, he saw someone he knew. It was Xiao Min. Under her gaze, his slightly darkened mood brightened up.
"Hey, Roz," she said, when she saw him.
She had black hair, which made her bright green eyes stand out. It was very long, flowing out of her red woolen hat, and tightly gripping her shoulders with a coat that matched the black shadow of her hair. Luo Zi was Luo Chong's surname and everyone in high school had called him. His friends had started to retrieve his nickname in middle school and it had just been carried over. Most people didn't even know his name in high school, and most people still called him that.
"Hey, do you have any exams?" he asked.
Xiao Min pulled her hand and she answered with her red gloves.
" English. It took me a while to write prose, but don't use too much strength," she replied.
Luo Chong nodded." How did you find the accountant?”
Although he was a year ahead of her, he introduced accounting courses as an elective for the semester. This was how he knew Xiao Min. Obviously, she had gone to the same high school because of him, but he did not remember her. To be fair to him, they were going to a very big school, and she was a year younger, in a very different crowd. The high school was divided into two different groups, those from the south and those from the north.
Luo Chong was from the southern end and was wealthy and had a general reputation for producing "good" children; Xiao Min was from the northern side and generally had the opposite reputation. This created a divide within the school and a great enmity. Even if the North Side Bookworm didn't say anything to end it, even if they were natural allies.
To say nothing of it, popular boys from the south like Luo Chong had no connection with girls from the north like Xiao Min, unless they had to face the contempt of all the students. Luo Chong had a good high school life, but this was something he hoped for. Xiao Min only knew his gaze, but she had never actually talked to him. He hoped that he would know her sooner or later.
He was sure that he had never seen her. He felt as if he remembered how beautiful she was and how she stood out. However, she had a year of development because he might have already met her. Perhaps she would change during this period of time. Recently, he had been running until she was everywhere: In the gym, coffee, fresh blue like this. It got to the point that he began to suspect that if she was engineering an " accident " at the meeting, he didn't mind that she was excellent at all.
"Alright." She smiled." I think I should thank you, but I kept emphasizing exams and everything. I forgot.”
They would study for their partner's midterms and then the final exams. As a second-year student, Luo Chong had developed learning skills that Xiao Min was still learning, so she would become more academically speaking and conversing with him. However, he did not meet her, purely because he wanted to help her with her journal entries to the general ledger. He was not altruistic. He did this because he wanted to spend time with her too. He liked her so much that he had been thinking about asking her more than once. There was only one question.
She had a boyfriend.
This was an intermittent scene, but she seemed to really love the guy, so Luo Chong admired him, and at the same time tried to maintain platonic things. Xiao Min liked him, and the impression he got was sometimes unknown. If this was a symptom of her relationship with her boyfriend, or if he might be part of their problem. From his understanding, they would be satisfied before the Taoist priest, so he would rather hope that the former was the case. As someone else, he did not file an appeal.
"No problem. I'm glad I could help.”he answered.
Xiao Min had already finished putting on her gloves and Luo Chong had opened the door ahead of her. She thanked him with a smile and pulled her tightly over her head to resist the cold wind.
"Good stuff, your health has been restored, hasn't it?”he said.
She seemed to be absent from school quite regularly, which was part of the reason why they would become friends. He gave a lecture for her, but she missed his notes. Where did she go to him, because he was the only one in class, she admitted. Xiao Min told him that she was sick, but Luo Chong suspected that she was just skipping rope.
Xiao Min smiled and said," Yeah, no headache or runny nose.”
"How are your other exams?" Luo Chong asked, raising his voice in the cold wind.
"Alright." She replied, in the same volume,"My statistics class is kind of hard, but overall pretty good, I think."”
Snatching points. Their boots crunched in the snow beneath their feet, and the wind they had never heard of tore at them.
"How about yours?" she asked.
" Alright," he said.
"Where are you stopping?" She asked," I came here early, but the third place is almost full.”
Luo Chong smiled." I'm in the Mingdong Cave.”
The " Mingdong " parking lot numbered eight and was reserved for students, so they almost guaranteed a spot, but it was also the furthest from the main building on campus.
"Ouch." Xiao Min said," Do you want to build it?”She asked as they came to the parking lot.
"No, I'll be fine." Luo Chong replied," There was a good rest.”
She seemed a little disappointed by his rejection, but she did not push him away.
"You too." she said.
