Vol V Chapter 34
As the end of the semester approached and the exam week began, the campus was filled with a strong learning atmosphere. During the day, students could be seen walking around memorizing their textbooks. The sound of books was loud and clear, and they were preparing for the exam in a hurry. Due to the " free-range " teaching style of the university, most students worked overtime during the exam week to review the key points of knowledge in the textbooks before the exam.
The purpose of the university was to cultivate and train the comprehensive quality of the university students. The requirements for the examination were not strict. As long as they could reach 60 points, they would pass. Although studies were not the only standard to evaluate a college student's excellence in university, failing a subject was not a very glorious thing. As a result, many college students saved their enthusiasm for the first semester until the exam week. He didn't sleep or rest day and night, making people feel like it was the eve of the college entrance examination.
Xiao Lin was also one of the majority. Fortunately, Xiao Lin was now in his third year, so he no longer had to prepare for seven or eight exams like those first and second-year juniors. Xiao Lin and the others only had two written exams. The other four exams were either a classroom exam or a thesis, so the pressure was relatively lower.
Everyone seemed to be quite busy during the exam week. Very few people were idle in the dormitory. Xiao Lin also felt that he couldn't bear to stay alone in the dormitory to watch movies and play games. So after dinner, he carried his bag to the library. The hall was bustling with people. Some students were sitting on the sofa with books on their backs, some were walking, some were leaning against the bookshelves, some were half-squatting on the ground, and some even brought their own folding chairs to memorize.
The noisy sounds were harmonious without anyone directing them. Each of them was immersed in the world of knowledge they needed. There was no interruption or fun. Only the lively word fairies jumped out of the mouths of the recitators and ran out one after another.
In the hall on the second floor, there were scholars beside the railings on the third and fourth floors. Boys and girls were reciting different books, English, politics, law...
Perhaps most of them were strangers. They didn't communicate much with each other, but they had the same desire for knowledge. Compared to the hall on the first floor, it was slightly quieter on the first floor because the space was wider and the students were more scattered. Moreover, most of them were just reading silently and carefully.
Xiao Lin didn't intend to go outside the reading room to memorize. Instead, he went straight to the literature, history, and art library that he frequented. The students in the reading room were all doing their homework with their heads lowered. It was so quiet that one could even hear the sound of flipping books.
Xiao Lin walked to the back and found an empty seat. He put down his backpack and took out his phone to mute it. Xiao Lin first looked around and didn't see any friends he knew, so he sat down.
Xiao Lin took out a book and pen and placed them on the desk. He closed his eyes and organized his thoughts in order to better focus. He was going to read the key points of the advanced English exam that the teacher had marked out again tonight and finish the exercises at the back of the textbook.
The teacher had made it clear that the highlighted points accounted for about 70% of the exam questions. As long as Xiao Lin and the others spent more time memorizing them, they would definitely pass. Xiao Lin had been very confident in his English since junior high school. In the second semester of university, he got the CET-4 certificate with high marks.
However, the club activities and love life took up too much of Xiao Lin's time, and he neglected his studies. His grades were low for the CET-6 in his sophomore year, and he didn't pass the CET-4 that the college required him to pass. For this, Xiao Lin felt a little guilty and blamed himself. Fortunately, there was still an exam in the second semester of the third year. Xiao Lin had already handed over the affairs of the international business club to Liu Zhihui, the assistant of the chairman, and was ready to devote himself to it.
Xiao Lin threw away all distracting thoughts and started to do the exercises. The exercises weren't very difficult. They were all questions that were translated from Chinese to English. Xiao Lin finished it in a short while and flipped to the front of the textbook to review the key points of the exam. At this moment, the phone on the table vibrated and made a buzzing sound. The classmate sitting opposite her cast a strange look at Xiao Lin. Xiao Lin smiled apologetically and walked out with his phone.
Xiao Lin picked up the phone and walked out. It was Mother Xiao. "Mom, wait a minute. I'm in the reading room. I'll be at the door soon.”Xiao Lin said in a low voice as he walked out of the reading room." Mom, why did you call?”Xiao Lin raised his voice.
"Linlin, when are you going to finish your exams? After that, would he come to Yunnan or return to his hometown directly?”Mother Xiao asked.
"Mom, are you going back to your hometown for the New Year this year? Will you, Dad, and Xiao Ya come back to Jiangxi?”Last year, Xiao Lin and his family spent the Lunar New Year in Kunming.
"Your father said that he's going back to his hometown this year. A few of his friends 'sons are getting married. Your sister, Xiao Ya, and Ziqiang aren't going back. Xiao Siyi is still young. If you come to Kunming after the exam, you can go back with us. Otherwise, you can go back first.”
"I won't be coming over. After the exam on the 14th, I'll go to my friend's house to play for a few days. Then I'll go home and clean up and wait for you guys to come back.”Xiao Lin said," Mom and Dad will be back on the 23rd. Will my cousin pick you up at the airport?"”
"Your father's friends will come over. If you don't want to cook at home, you can go to your aunt's house. Anyway, the neighborhood isn't far away." Mother Xiao warned. She was worried that Xiao Lin would eat fast food at home every day.
"Got it, Mom. If there's nothing else, I'll go in and study. I'll call you when I get home.”
In order to take care of the third-year and fourth-year students, the school arranged the final exam time more reasonably. Xiao Lin and the others had two exams. On the morning of the 14th, there was the Advanced English exam, and in the afternoon, there was the second foreign language exam. They could finish the exam in one day. As for the freshmen and sophomore years, they might finish one exam today and take the next one a week later.
Actually, Xiao Lin could leave school directly after the exam on the 14th, but he had decided to send Yuan Yimeng home at the airport first. He planned to stay at school and send her off before going back. Xiao Lin found out that Yuan Yimeng's last exam was scheduled for the 17th on the National Zhongcheng University Academic Affairs Online. Xiao Lin had no choice but to stay in school for three more days.
Xiao Lin studied until nine o'clock in the evening and left the library to return to his dormitory. Yang Yu told Xiao Lin that Xu Zeng had just come to the dormitory to look for him. Xiao Lin guessed that Xu Zeng should be fine. Otherwise, he would have called directly. Xiao Lin put down his backpack and walked out of the dormitory to look for Xu Zeng.
Xu Zeng's dormitory was not far away. They just had to take a detour. Xiao Lin saw Xu Zeng standing in the corridor and making a phone call, so he didn't call him. He walked to his side and patted him, then went straight into Xu Zeng's bedroom.
"Why don't you trust me every time? What do you want me to do? Alright, it's fine if you don't say anything. One of my brothers is here. I'm hanging up." Xu Zeng also walked in.
Xiao Lin walked into Xu Zeng's bedroom and found that Xu Zeng's desk and under the bed were much cleaner. It was no longer as messy as before. The suitcase on the side was also zipped up.
"Ah Zeng, you went to look for me. I just came back from the library. I didn't realize that I hadn't come in two days. Your place is so clean. Not bad.”Xiao Lin teased him because Xu Zeng's dormitory had appeared on the list of the top ten dirty and disorderly dormitories posted on the bulletin board of the sixth building during his sophomore year. In the middle of the night, he even asked Xiao Lin to secretly tear up the list.
Perhaps it was because of the strong artistic atmosphere in the School of Communication, life was very casual. At the same time, compared to the other schools of National Chung-Cheng University, the School of Communication received the most national and provincial awards. The National University Advertising Festival was held several times at the School of Communication of National Chung-Cheng University.
"Is that so? This year, I'll try to get the top ten and take off the label of 'poor peasant' on my head.”Xu Zeng said with a smile," I'm leaving in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. The train from Nanchang to Sunshine leaves at 4:30 p. m. on the 13th.”
"I knew it. It's rare to see your dormitory so clean.”Xiao Lin teased," But your school really has an early break. Will you finish your exams tomorrow?”
"We only have one subject in total, and we only finished it this afternoon.”Xu Zeng said," When will you finish your exams? I'll look for you tonight. I'm thinking of calling Wenhao and the others to have an early New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow.”
"I finished my exams on the 14th, and Wenhao was also on the 14th. Ruixu, I didn't ask him. Yuanguang is in his second major, so he should be a little later.”Xiao Lin said.
"Then when are you going back? Are you still going to Kunming for the New Year?"
"My parents are going back to Jiangxi for the New Year this year. Some relatives and friends are going to visit. I plan to go back on the 17th or 18th. Xiaomeng's exams are on the 17th. I want to send her to the airport then. He didn't know if she would be willing to do so, but he didn't care. He would think about it when the time came. After all, he would be home alone when he returned.”Xiao Lin wasn't sure if Yuan Yimeng would reject him.
"You have to know which day Yi Meng bought the plane ticket. Don't wait until she's back and you're just waiting here.”Xu Zeng reminded Xiao Lin.
"Why don't we give her a call now?”Xiao Lin felt that what Xu Zeng said made sense.
Xu Zeng blinked his eyes, affirmatively encouraging Xiao Lin.
Xiao Lin took out his phone and walked out of the dormitory. He dialed Yuan Yimeng's number. "Xiao Meng, where are you? Why is the wind so strong over there?" Yuan Yimeng's side had a huge commotion.
"I just came out of the self-study room and am on my way back to the dormitory.”Yuan Yimeng's voice sounded a little soft.
"Are you alone? Xiao Meng."
"No, Meiqi is with me.”
"Brother Lin, I'm with Xiaomeng. Don't worry, no one can snatch Mengmeng away.”Liu Meiqi giggled.
"Meiqi, if you continue to spout nonsense, our little friends won't be able to play with you in the future.”Yuan Yimeng blamed Liu Meiqi and said," Go ahead, I'm listening."”
"Xiao Meng, when are you guys going to finish your exams? Have you bought the plane ticket? When was it?" Xiao Lin pretended not to know and asked.
"I'll finish my second major on the afternoon of the 17th. I have a flight at nine o'clock in the morning on the 18th.”Yuan Yimeng's voice was even clearer.
"Not yet. The exam is almost over. Xiaomeng, have you guys reached the dormitory yet?”
"I was just about to go upstairs. Is there anything else? We're almost at the dormitory." Xiao Lin secretly noted down the time she said.
" Ah Zeng." Xiao Lin pushed open the door excitedly and entered." Xiaomeng is leaving on the morning of the 18th. That's great. I won't tell her yet. I'll give her a surprise then."”
"Xiao Lin, you can't do it like this. I'm leaving the day after tomorrow, and you didn't even say that you wanted to give me a surprise.”Xu Zeng pretended to be angry.
"Tell me, what do you want?”Xiao Lin patted his chest and said," Surprise, no problem."”
Xu Zeng got up and pulled Xiao Lin's hand away." I'm just joking with you. It's fine as long as you don't scare me. I don't dare to ask for surprises."”Xu Zeng picked up the cigarette box on the desk and handed one to Xiao Lin." Let's go down and look for Wenhao, Ruixu, and the others."”
Xiao Lin lit it up and took a puff. The smell of smoke was very strong and a little pungent." Ah Zeng, what kind of smoke is this? It's so pungent."”He spun the cigarette butt and saw that it was " Mount Tai " from Shandong." You really didn't forget to support Shandong's economic development."”
Xu Zeng blew out a puff of smoke in enjoyment." You don't understand. There's no smoke at all in cigarettes like Jiaozi. You've smoked it before. Do you think it's good to smoke?”
Xiao Lin had indeed received the " Jiaozi " cigarettes from others before. The smoke was very light, like a lady's cigarette, but it had a refreshing fragrance. "That's true, but compared to Yuxi, Mount Tai is still a little inferior.”
"There's definitely no way to compare. The price is different. Besides, Yunnan's tobacco industry is more developed. Hongtashan Group is an old brand.”Xu Zeng said with conviction.
The two of them went to Xie Wenhao's room and walked in. His roommate said that Xie Wenhao hadn't returned yet, so he went to look for Zhao Ruixu.
"Director Pei, is Ruixu in the dormitory?" Xiao Lin asked when Tan Pei opened the door.
In the second semester of his sophomore year, Tan Pei moved into Zhao Ruixu's dormitory from the dormitory next door. His roommates had rented a house outside the school, and one of Zhao Ruixu's roommates had gone abroad, so there was an empty bed. Tan Pei had spent some time with Zhao Ruixu at the International Business Club, and their friendship had deepened, so he simply moved in.
"CEO Xu, Brother Lin is here to see you. Come in and chat. I have to return to the battlefield, or I'll be scolded to death by my teammates.”Tan Pei turned around and sat down to continue playing League of Legends.
"Wow, Ruixu, how can you be so hardworking? Finance, accounting, advanced English, advanced mathematics.”Xu Zeng picked up the revision book that Zhao Ruixu had left on the desk and looked at it.
Zhao Ruixu sat under the lamp and read a book." Xiao Lin, why are you guys here?"”He put down the book in his hand." There's nothing we can do about it. It's not as good as the two of you. We still have six more exams and we're going crazy.”
"This is different. Your knowledge is wider than ours. Although you are a little tired now, you will have a competitive advantage in the future.”Xiao Lin said.
"F * ck, scammers. You guys are a bunch of scammers. How could you lose like this?”Tan Pei shook off the mouse and stood up from the chair. He stretched his wrist, took out a pack of cigarettes, and gave one to Xiao Lin, Xu Zeng, and the others.
"Boss Pei, what's wrong? Did you not have fun?”Xiao Lin took the cigarette and said.
"My teammates are too weak. I'm speechless. Forget it, let's fight again.”Tan Pei sat down again and started choosing characters again.
"President Pei, do your other two roommates mind if you smoke in the dormitory?”Xu Zeng asked.
"The two of them don't smoke, but it doesn't matter. They're not here anyway.”Tan Pei stared at the computer screen and said.
Xu Zeng pulled Xiao Lin along." Ruixu, go outside and smoke a cigarette. Take a rest."”The three of them walked to the door and closed it.
Xu Zeng took out a lighter from his pocket and lit it up for Xiao Lin and the others."Ruixu, this bro is leaving the day after tomorrow. I want to go home before you guys, so I specially called Xiao Lin to visit you who are still suffering.”
"Don't listen to Ah Zeng's nonsense. He just wants us to go out for an early New Year's Eve dinner. Do you have an exam in the morning the day after tomorrow? If not, we can have some drinks tomorrow night.”
"The day after tomorrow. Wait a moment. I'll go in and look at our exam schedule.”Zhao Ruixu walked into the dormitory and came out after a while." I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't drink. There's an advanced math exam in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, so I have to get up in the morning to revise. But it's fine. I'll just drink some drinks. Have you informed Wenhao and Yuanguang?"
"Wenhao's roommate said that he's not back yet. Yuanguang hasn't asked him yet.”Xiao Lin called Zhao Yuanguang and waited for him to pick up.
"Hey, Yuanguang, are you at your place? Ah Zeng is beside me. He has something to tell you.”
Xu Zeng took Xiao Lin's phone." Yuanguang, I'm Ah Zeng. How about we have New Year's Eve dinner together tomorrow night?" The location hasn't been decided yet. I'll call you tomorrow afternoon. See you at Er Qiao.”After hanging up, Xu Zeng returned the phone to Xiao Lin.
"Yuanguang, what did he say?" Zhao Ruixu asked.
"He said to wait for us at the Second Bridge at 6:30 tomorrow afternoon, Wenhao.”Xu Zeng shouted at Xie Wenhao when he saw Xie Wenhao carrying his bag and preparing to enter the dormitory.
"What are you three idiots doing here?”Xie Wenhao walked over with his bag." Xiao Lin, give me a cigarette."”
Xiao Lin took out a cigarette from Xu Zeng's cigarette box and gave it to Xie Wenhao." Is this a three-way meeting?”Xie Wenhao said.
"It's the North Korean nuclear issue. I was about to raise my hand to vote when you interrupted me. It seems that you want to affect the world peace process again.”Xu Zeng looked very serious.
"I'm a peace-loving person. I vote against North Korea's nuclear test and nuclear concentration.”Xie Wenhao raised his hands in objection.
Xiao Lin walked forward and pulled his hand down." You're being silly."”
Xiao Lin felt that Xie Wenhao was a little strange. Normally, he didn't like to joke around, but today, he seemed a little off. He was overly excited.
"Wenhao, I have to tell my sister-in-law that I have an affair in the self-study room tonight.”Xu Zeng threatened.
"Ah Zeng, don't talk nonsense. I believe in Wenhao. As our moral leader, he won't do anything to let his sister-in-law down.”Zhao Ruixu seemed determined to stand on Xie Wenhao's side.
"I didn't have any romantic encounters. It's just that Xin Yi called me tonight to tell me something very interesting. In Japan, the concept of sex wasn't very open. They sold AuV-discs at the video store. "When Xin Yi and the others passed by and went in to play, the boys in our class were all so shy that their faces turned red. I just thought that it was funny. Don't look at how our boys are so talkative in the dormitory. When they went abroad to Japan, they pretended to be little boys, hahaha…" Xie Wenhao couldn't help but laugh again.
When Xie Wenhao stopped laughing, Xu Zeng looked at him in surprise and said,""Don't look at how serious Wen Hao is usually, but his humor is actually so low.”
Seeing that Xie Wenhao was silent, Xiao Lin realized that Xie Wenhao had forced himself to smile, but he felt guilty and guilty. His girlfriend was far away in Japan, and the cultural difference between China and Japan was so big, but he couldn't protect her. Be it mentally or physically. Perhaps this fake smile was just to cater to Shen Xin Yi, a form of self-mockery, a form of disguise.
Xiao Lin quickly stopped Xu Zeng, who didn't know what was going on." Don't talk about that anymore, Wenhao. Ah Zeng and I came down just to get together and have a New Year's Eve dinner in advance. Then we'll get together next year." What do you think? Is there an exam the day after tomorrow? The time is set for tomorrow night."
"Yes, yes." Zhao Ruixu chimed in," Wenhao, Xiao Lin called Yuanguang just now, and he happened to be free. What about you?”
"Since all of you can do it, then I have no problem either. You guys chat first, I'll go put down my backpack.”
After Xie Wenhao left, Xiao Lin blamed Xu Zeng and said,"Ah Zeng, can't you see that Wenhao is unhappy? Why are you still competing?"
Xu Zeng suddenly realized and felt a little regretful." Tell me, why didn't you remind me? I didn't notice it."”
"Wenhao, you're not that petty." Zhao Ruixu tried to smooth things over.
"Let's not talk about it anymore. Let's decide where to eat tomorrow night first.‘Hanyuan Barbecue, what do you think?”Xiao Lin said.
"Is it that newly opened barbecue buffet? I heard that it's not bad. It seems that the student ID card has a 20% discount.”Zhao Ruixu had a lot of information channels and knew everything." I think it's okay. What about you, Ah Zeng?”
Xu Zeng was still wondering if he had said something wrong just now. Shandong was indeed loyal. If it was not for Xie Wenhao, other people would definitely not take it seriously according to the boldness of the northerners. "Barbecue, I agree."
"Then it's a happy decision. I'll go up with Ah Zeng first. We'll contact Ruixu tomorrow.”
Xiao Lin and Xu Zeng walked towards Xie Wenhao's dormitory. When he reached the door, Xie Wenhao happened to come out. Xiao Lin told him about the place for tomorrow's meal. Xu Zeng reminded Xie Wenhao not to forget to bring his student ID card, and the two of them went upstairs.
