At the end of August.

The middle school starts, and the first year and high school freshmen have to come for military training a week in advance. Ji Huai rented a house to Ji Shishi next to the school, but she didn't want to rent a house.

"Brother, I can live in the dormitory."

The dormitory only charges one hundred yuan a semester, and there is no utility bill, but a small room next to the school charges five hundred yuan a month, and you have to pay the utility bill yourself, which is too expensive.

"Where are you going on Saturday and Sunday?" Ji Huai asked rhetorically.

Ji Shishi was choked, thought for a while, and whispered, "I don't know if I can live in school."

"You need a quiet environment, this money can't be saved." Ji Huai did not let her go, but insisted on renting this room to her and paid the rent for half a year.

Ji Shishi can only accept it, very guilty, and she is causing trouble to her brother again.

Before the military training, Zhang Ying bought her two bottles of sunscreen, plus some basic kits such as cleansing oil, facial cleanser (nai) and moisturizing.

Ji Shishi is accustomed to (sexual xing) rejection. She always feels that these things are very expensive. Even if Ji's father and Lin Anna give her enough money to finish her book, she still feels that she shouldn't spend it indiscriminately.

"If you are exposed to the sun for a week, you will get sunburned. Shishi is so white, but you can't be tanned." Zhang Ying said with a smile, and asked her to apply sunscreen and make it up frequently.

"Good." Ji Shishi responded nicely, with a grateful tone, "Thank you sister-in-law."

The military training began. The weather was very hot and the instructors were very strict. They had to train for seven or eight hours on the big (cao) field every day.

The school issued two sets of school uniforms and a white (color) hat. Many girls in high school have learned how to make up.

Ji Shishi was a bit shy at first, but when it's time to rest, boys always buy water, while girls put sunscreen on their faces and arms for fear of getting tanned. But she was embarrassed to make up, always sitting quietly and taking her seriously during training. In the end, she was named a pacesetter and won a certificate.

The provincial capital and the city are different.

The first is the school area. The Provincial No. 1 Middle School is much larger than the school she had studied before. There are many teaching buildings and standard laboratories.

When I first took a physics class, I went to the spacious and bright laboratory. Everyone had an exclusive seat. She was able to do (fuck cao) and watched her classmates do (fuck cao). She was actually panicked.

She had only seen these large-scale equipment in books, just like a country girl who entered the city, really realizing the gap.

My brother once said to her: Try to go up

, You can see more and better scenery, for you now, this is your only way now.

Ji Shishi lowered his eyes, listened to the teacher's commentary on stage, and sometimes looked at the high-rise buildings outside the laboratory.

Large highways, towering buildings, strong style of study, rich learning resources...

From that day on, she was like a sponge, absorbing the knowledge she needed frantically.

She must go far on her own.

The children in the city have a rich spare time life, and they can also take guitar, piano, painting, and basketball lessons on weekends... Ji Shishi clearly understands the gap for the first time.

She doesn't know anything except for reading. She can paint dogs as cats. She has a lack of tone and has never seen a piano.

Only now I know that poor grades can also be made up for by special skills. Specialty students and they are admitted to the same university, probably nearly 100 points less than them. No matter how bad they are, they can go abroad for gilding. It is said that the threshold is also very low.

However, it is said to require hundreds of thousands of support.

When she opened her eyes time and time again, she joked to her brother that the world is not fair.

She was really tired. She was a little bit tired and wanted to cry. She didn't understand a lot of things and couldn't.

My brother didn't refute her words, but looked at her very seriously, "Shishi, life is not a marathon."

Ji Shishi wonders, isn't it?

From childhood to adulthood, even the teacher said that life is a marathon, and we have to win at the end.

"It's a relay race." Ji Huai didn't say much, and then said again, "Your sister-in-law is going to the capital for the test. Then we will go to the capital."

From that day on, Ji Shishi’s goal has changed again: to get into a university in the capital!

Life is not a marathon, it is a relay race, so start from her and keep running, even if she can't keep up with her classmates whose parents have far surpassed her, she also has the mission of her generation.

Her high school life has become a boring study again.

She was studying when others were in interest classes, and when others were going to have fun and shopping, she was studying every minute. Her work and rest on Saturdays and Sundays were the same as when she went to school. She never dared to relax because she knew that she never Not a smart person, but diligence can make up for one's weakness.

The winter and summer vacations are when she previews the content of the next semester in advance and reviews the content of the previous semester.

When she came in, the school was not highly ranked. The Provincial No. 1 Middle School had gathered the best students in the province. There were more than 1,300 students in the entire grade. Her ranking was in the 300th place, and the Provincial No. 1 Middle School was the same as the City No. 1 Middle School. , There are experimental classes, key classes and parallel classes

class.

Ji Shishi’s class is a key class, and there are ten such key classes in the entire grade.

Chen Sheng is in her next class, more than fifty places behind her in the ranking.

After the first examination, Chen Sheng maintained his original level, while Ji Shishi improved more than fifty.

In fact, Chen Sheng is the kind of clever person who may be born suitable for reading. He does not need to work hard to get a pretty good result. Ji Shishi is different. She is a very hard person, almost all the time. It was all spent on studying, and I worked hard to the extreme.

This ranking gave Chen Sheng a sense of crisis. He stopped chatting about shoes and games with the buddies who had just met in the dormitory. He used to go out to play games over the wall, and now he is a little more serious.

With the coming of the final exams, Ji Shishi once again moved forward 22 places, and Chen Sheng also made progress, progressing more than 40 people. The more you move forward, the more difficult it becomes.

This progress has not attracted much attention from teachers. It is normal for the rankings to fluctuate during the first semester of high school.

Ji Shishi really came into the teacher's field of vision in the next semester, returning from the winter vacation, the first year of high school to implement the examination for liberal arts and sciences.

Ji Shishi, who had been reviewing during a holiday, improved 105 places in this exam and ranked 111th in the entire grade. The progress was so rapid that the teachers in the class were surprised.

After the liberal arts and sciences are divided into classes, the top 50 in the arts and sciences will be selected to form a class. This class is called the "experimental class". The experimental class is located at a different location from other classes. It is located on the top floor of the tallest building in the entire school. In addition to the laboratory, there are only these two experimental classes.

The people in this class are sprinting to top colleges at home and abroad. Each of them aims at the top universities, and they are the ones who are most hopeful to pass.

It's a pity that Ji Shishi didn't enter the experimental class this time.

She was very sad that day. She wanted to cry but couldn't cry. She was very depressed and uncomfortable. She went back close to six o'clock in the classroom.

Because today is Friday, most of the students who stayed at the accommodation also went back, she walked on the school road alone.

"Aren't you going back?"

Hearing the sound, she turned her head and saw Chen Sheng walking towards her with a backpack on her back, carrying a bag in her hand, he should be going home.

She is not a talkative person. Since entering high school, she has never spoken to Chen Sheng except for one occasional stop before.

"Squad leader." She shook her head, still used to calling him that.

Chen Sheng is a bit bad

It means, "I saw the ranking this time, you are very high and you are ashamed of it."

In fact, he didn't have much ambition to win, so he wanted to take part in a key university, playing games and playing basketball. He was always number one before, and he didn't think too much. Now he feels crushed.

Hearing this, Ji Shishi was not very happy, but rather depressed, "...I want to enter the experimental class."

For this goal, she did not dare to relax one day during a holiday.

Chen Sheng was suddenly choked. He didn't know what expression to put on his face. It took a while before he said, "Next time there is a chance, you will be a little bit close. The number of experimental classes is not fixed, they can't pass the exam. The first fifty will be kicked out."

Tell this to Ji Shishi, as well as to yourself. When she goes to the experimental class, she won't be able to see it. No, he will also go to the experimental class!

As soon as this thought came up, he himself was taken aback.

"Thank you." Ji Shishi was comforted.

Chen Sheng followed her, as if casually saying, "I go back every week, why haven't I met you on the high-speed rail?"

"I won't go back, I live there." Ji Shishi pointed to a house outside the school wall, which was rented out to students.

"No wonder." Chen Sheng smiled.

Ji Shishi said nothing.

Walking all the way to the gate of the school, Chen Sheng used his extra light to look at her from time to time. Compared to junior high school, she seemed to be a little taller and whiter?

Her hair is too good, right? It looks very smooth, doesn't it (touch Mo) too? Chen Sheng suddenly felt itchy, and the hand on his side shrank, feeling ashamed of the dirty thoughts in his heart.

When he was born, Yu Guang still couldn't help but look over there, pursing his lips, a bit dry and dry.

All the way to the door, Ji Shishi didn't notice his strangeness. She had been distracted, annoyed by the few questions she shouldn't have done wrong in the last exam. It would be nice if she was more serious.

When she left the school gate, she was used to turning right by herself, and then back to the rental house. Halfway around, she remembered Chen Sheng next to her. She stopped, turned and waved to him, and whispered, "Squad leader, bye, be careful on the road."

When the words fell, he turned and left again.

Chen Sheng felt that she was cute and cute. For the first time, she felt shocked, her ears would be hot, and her face would be hot.

The delicate emotions of the young man quietly rose.

Go home.

Mother Chen made a table of food, and also bought two large river prawns, which were bought and sold by nearby villagers. Only these two were not cheap.

Although Chen Sheng went to the provincial capital without abandoning Chen Sheng, the heart of Chen's father and Chen's mother

I am proud. I will cook a big meal every week for fear of wronging my son.

Looking at the big meal on the table, Chen Sheng suddenly thought of Ji Shishi.

She rents a house in the provincial capital alone, isn't that no one cooks for her?

"This exam is not bad." Father Chen said with a smile when he heard about his grades, "I made a lot of progress."

It was in the provincial capital, where there were overwhelming studies, and it was amazing to improve dozens of people.

"Dad, I want to rent a house outside the school." Chen Sheng said suddenly while eating.

"That won't work, how unsafe is it to live outside the school?" Mother Chen directly vetoed it without even thinking about it.

"The dormitory will be powered off at eleven o'clock. There is no hot water in the (washing xi) bath, so I can't continue studying." Chen Sheng had already found a good excuse. "It would be a waste of time to come back on Saturdays and Sundays. You can stay in the rented room. Study over there."

Hearing that, instead of thinking about it seriously, the Chen family and his wife looked at him with a serious face, "Son, tell us honestly, did you go to school a bad thing?"

"Still addicted to playing games?"

Chen Sheng: "..."

"Why haven't you seen you study so hard before?" Father Chen expressed suspicion.

"I used to be the number one, so what else do I study? Now I am out of hundreds." Chen Sheng's tone was full of unwillingness to admit defeat, "I'm going to be serious."

This reason was forced to persuade Chen and his wife, and the two of them also discussed, "Who will cook for you outside? Or, let you (奶Nai)(奶Nai) go to accompany you? Anyway, you(奶Nai) ) (奶Nai) It's okay at home, you also accompany her."

"Don't, I'm under too much pressure like this. I'm so grown-up, so I can do it alone." Chen Sheng pushed (off tuo) and read with him, so please spare him.

In the end, under his persuasion, the Chen couple went to the provincial capital with him the next day to find a house.

Chen Sheng led them to the house rented by Ji Shishi.

"We don't have a house to rent." A young woman said.

Chen Sheng sighed.

"Then how about we rent somewhere else?" Mother Chen was quite satisfied with this building. It was a pity that it was close to the school and also a newly built building.

Chen Sheng began to lose interest.

"Excuse me." Father Chen thanked him.

When she was about to walk out, Ji Shishi came down from upstairs. She didn't wear a school uniform today. She wore a white (color) dress. She looked innocent (dry gan), and she was carrying a bag of garbage in her hand. Seeing the three people was also startled.

Later, she called Chen's father and Chen's mother, who had never taught her, but they were all teachers.

"Squad leader, do you want to rent a house?" Ji Shishi asked.

Chen Sheng didn't return to her, he didn't feel relieved yet, he felt

She is so beautiful.

"Yes, girl, do you live here? It's a pity that there is no house here." Father Chen was still very impressed with Ji Shishi. He was admitted to Provincial No. 1 Middle School with his son, and his score was higher than that of his son.

"Isn't Uncle Xu saying that the uncle across from my room doesn't want to rent it?" Ji Shishi hesitated and asked, looking at the landlord on the side.

"I haven't heard, I called to ask." The landlady called the steward.

The rental period of the opposite household did not expire, but it did not want to rent it anymore and couldn't return it, so he had to hold back. When he heard that someone was going to live in and was willing to pay the rent, he decided to move out.

Chen Sheng has moved in and lived in the opposite of Ji Shishi. His room is a bit bigger. You can see the school's (fuck cao) field from the room.

Chen and his wife want to invite Ji Shishi to have a meal together. They have a very enthusiastic attitude. As teachers, they like children who are good at learning.

The more I look, the more pleasing to the eye.

Ji Shishi was not comfortable with contacting others, shyly refused.

Chen Sheng didn't speak during the whole process. In fact, he didn't know what to say, and was a little disappointed that she wouldn't go, but think about it, she wouldn't go either.

"How is that kid studying now?" Mother Chen was curious.

"I don't know." Chen Sheng shook his head, "I don't know."

"They are all from the same class, so you should also care about it anyway. When you come back, make an appointment and have a company." Mother Chen told him.

Chen Sheng responded perfunctorily, lowered his head to eat, as if he didn't care, but his eyes flickered, and he was absent-minded in eating.

He moved out of the dormitory full of joy and still lived on the opposite side. There were more opportunities to meet now, but he didn't expect that Ji Shishi would not go out.

Like cooking and eating in the room? No one can be seen on Saturday and Sunday.

Living on the opposite side of the house can’t get up. In the end, he observed her time to go to school and came up with a pattern: She likes to get out of the house in the morning, noon, and evening, but wakes up early and endorses in the room.

Get stuck, he can almost all touch her.

"Hello squad leader." When she saw him, she would always greet him first, with a plain tone, as if she had completed some kind of task.

She would not take the initiative to speak when she was walking on the road. Soy milk was sold on the street when she arrived at the school. She would buy a cup of soy milk, usually black soy milk.

No wonder the hair is so black and shiny.

She would politely ask Chen Sheng if he would like to drink it. He actually hates soy milk, but he nods his head from time to time.

When he arrived in the classroom, Ji Shishi waved at him, said goodbye, and walked back to the classroom.

Anyway, it’s just like going through the program, without any

Her expression, her eyes seemed to only read books, and other things could not attract her attention.

The more Chen Sheng observes, the closer to her, the more interesting it becomes.

Ji Shishi has a very (strong qiang) system for doing things. It belongs to its own set of processes. What time does it do is fixed.

If you want to (insert cha) in other things and deprive her of time, it is equivalent to (Fan) crime.

The two of them walked together in class, and went back together after class. They spent more time together and talked about more topics.

Although Ji Shishi didn't talk much, but occasionally she said something quite funny. If she talked to her, she would talk a little bit more.

Chen Sheng felt that it was easy every time he walked back with her, and before he knew it, he also began to look forward to that short period of time.

Just as he was happy, suddenly he couldn't help her.

No matter whether it was morning or night, he never met her at the top of the stairs. Once he had to wait until class, and no one saw her.

He didn't reach her for a week, and he would come back. He didn't even see anyone on purpose.

The more he thought about it, the more things were wrong, and he waited for her downstairs in the evening.

Ji Shishi came back half an hour later than usual. Seeing that he was still vacant, he quickly yelled, "Squad leader."

"Where have you been?" Chen Sheng said, turning into a question. He was startled and quickly explained, "It's getting late now, I want to go buy dinner."

"Me too, I'm going to have dinner."

She doesn't know how to lie. There are so many small gestures when she lied. Chen Sheng could tell it at a glance, and she was uncomfortable. She said bluntly, "It seems that I haven't met you in the past few days."

"Huh? I walked earlier." She explained in a hurry, and squeezed a smile, "Yes, it's hard to meet."

"Are you hiding from me?" Chen Sheng stared at her and asked.

"No, what am I hiding from you? No." Ji Shishi said as he walked into the building, "What can I do to hide from you? The final exam is coming. Have you reviewed it?"

"Why do you want to ask yourself why you are hiding?" Chen Sheng ignored her question and pressed behind her to ask.

Since he was a child, he has belonged to a person who has everything he wants. He is also a top student who is valued by his teacher. He never fails to get what he wants. He also doesn't know his feelings for Ji Shishi. Anyway, he is very uncomfortable. , Very upset, somehow unhappy.

Ji Shishi lowered his head and walked up.

"Explain." Chen Sheng looked at her silently, scratching his heart, how could anyone torture people so much? He doesn't even know what he did wrong?

When he reached the door, Ji Shishi opened the door and looked at him with a tangled face.

, The tone is small, "...We often go together badly, there will be misunderstandings, learning is important."

"I am sorry."

After she finished speaking, she closed the door with a "bang".

Chen Sheng froze in place, thinking for a long time before figuring out, someone gossiping about them? Also, sorry, what the **** is it?

Since then, Chen Sheng occasionally met her on the road. Ji Shishi either avoided him or walked very quickly, keeping a distance from him. If he couldn't get away, he would start trotting in a hurry.

Anyway, he must be thrown off before entering school.

Chen Sheng looked at her like this, and at first he deliberately approached her. He looked worried and guilty at first, as if being bullied by himself. He shrank his head and neck. In the end he was not willing to embarrass her and took the initiative to pull away. distance.

The result of this is that Ji Shishi feels guilty for him. If she meets in the corridor, she will still greet him.

Chen Sheng analyzed the pros and cons, and decisively chose to take the initiative to distance herself from her, and just met, at the school gate, she also took the initiative to pull away, the more exaggerated the better, Ji Shishi, the little white rabbit, became more and more guilty. I always felt that for his own selfish desires, he had to take these into account.

So, in order to reduce the guilt in my heart, I changed from saying hello to him in the corridor to buying him one or two fruits for myself.

There will be contacts.

Chen Sheng also bought her own fruit, but he bought the whole cantaloupe.

Ji Shishi sometimes looked at the cantaloupe he was holding with a look of confusion.

"I bought two!" he said.

"Why don't you buy one?" She still didn't understand. "You can cut it open so you can't finish it."

"Cheap!"

"..." Ji Shishi struggled to take over the big cantaloupe, a little bit uncomprehending the squad leader's behavior.

The author has something to say: Mi'er thinks that Fanwai might have to write another chapter or two?

I heard that I was going to cancel the division of liberal arts and sciences before, but now I choose my subjects? Is that right? Miller didn't know much about covering her face.

Do you send two hundred red envelopes?

Good night 91g
