The new green is gradually dyeing the branches, and the flowers are in bud.

Then when the cherry blossoms fall all over the ground, cicadas chirping hidden on the branches.

Winter has passed and spring has passed, and in this early summer, the air is always filled with the smell of parting.

Yingxue Plaza is occasionally welcomed to take photos of graduates wearing bachelor's uniforms.

Ruan Qiao felt a little empty when she passed by. Before she knew it, her sophomore year was about to end.

But Ruan Qiao didn't have much time to sigh, and she needed to focus more on the major event of Lin Zhan's college entrance examination.

Lin Zhan has only been doing more than four months after he went to repeat the school. It is difficult to be perfect in such a short time to take into account professional courses and cultural courses.

Lin Zhan also knew this very well, and even geniuses were difficult to do, and he did not have that high talent in studying.

This year, he took the college entrance examination directly as a cultural student.

The day of the exam was sunny.

Ruan Qiao was wearing a bright red T-shirt and gave him a reference.

Lin Zhan was also forced to put on a red T-shirt that symbolized good luck. Before the cordon was removed, everyone stood outside. Many parents came to take the exam and repeatedly told them to cheer for the candidates.

Lin Zhan was also standing in the corner, listening to Ruan Qiao muttering, "Don't be nervous, seize the time and write everything you can first. In the first class, you must leave enough time to write the essay or not, just write the essay in a proper manner..."

Lin Zhan nodded from time to time, saying that he had listened to it.

The city media just came to visit the live broadcast.

Lin Zhan's tall and handsome figure quickly entered the camera's shooting range. A reporter came forward to interview him, but Lin Zhan politely refused.

But he is indeed very eye-catching and is wearing bright red short-sleeved sleeves. It can be said that he is a squid pepper.

Lin Zhan only used this exam as an experiment, and next year will be his main battlefield. His mentality is very relaxed at this moment, but Ruan Qiao looks more like a candidate.

Lin Zhan looked at Ruan Qiao's nervous look and found it a little funny.

When the warning line was removed from the point, Lin Zhan did not squeeze into the crowd, but kissed Ruan Qiao's forehead in the corner.

"I'm going to take the exam, don't wait here, it's too hot."

Ruan Qiao nodded and still kept cheering him up.

Even if it was just an experiment, she hoped that Lin Zhan's efforts would be rewarded as they deserved.

Fortunately, the saying that divine hard work is not just a saying.

When the results of the Nancheng College Entrance Examination in July came out, Ruan Qiao pulled Lin Zhan and sat in front of the computer, nervously refreshing the interface.

Chinese 101, Mathematics 113, English 83, Liberal Arts 172, Total score 469

Pingnan Province is a major education province, and the admission score is not low.

Ruan Qiao has never had any idea about the second-tier score line. She only remembers that Pingnan’s first-tier liberal arts filing line was 570 points in the year of the college entrance examination. If there is no score bonus for independent enrollment, at least 620 points will be required to be admitted to Nancheng University.

This year, the filing of the first-class liberal arts program has dropped to 551 points, and the filing line of the second-class liberal arts program is 485 points. In the past two years, the filing line of the three-class liberal arts program has been cancelled, and the filing line of the third-class liberal arts program is 432 points.

In other words, Lin Zhan's efforts in the past four months have made him far more than the third-tier university admission, and the gap is not very big to the second-tier university.

If he had taken the art student exam before, he could already go to many undergraduate programs in the second category of art colleges.

Both Ruan Qiao and Lin Zhan were quite surprised.

Ruan Qiao asked him: "How many points did you score in the college entrance examination before?"

Lin Zhan touched his head and frowned and recalled that the college entrance examination was like playing, and the International Department did not look at the scores anyway.

He hesitated and replied: "It should be one or two hundred..."

Ruan Qiao sighed: "You are too awesome."

Lin Zhan didn't know whether she was criticizing or praising her nose for a moment, so he approached and pinched her nose. Ruan Qiao realized that his words were ambiguous and hurriedly explained: "Hey hey! Don't pinch me! I mean you can get so many points in just four months, which is so amazing!"

Lin Zhan let out a "stop" and let go of her, "This is almost the same."

Ruan Qiao printed out Lin Zhan’s score table and asked him to take it back to the dormitory and paste it on the wall.

The summer is hot, and there are not many people like Lin Zhan who have done the battleground for the two college entrance examinations.

Some of the classmates who have been together for a semester have won the glory, while others have lost a lot. The same is that they all dragged their suitcases and prepared to set off to the new battlefield of university.

The two sat on the playground and watched the campus usher in a short and quiet place. The green shade covered the scorching sun and the continuous cicadas.

Ruan Qiao turned to see Lin Zhan. Small beads of sweat emerged from the tip of his nose. Since the first month of the year, he has never dyed his beloved linen ashes. At this moment, he squinted his eyes and looked at the teaching building, not knowing what he was thinking.

However, in just a few months, Ruan Qiao felt that he seemed to have become much quieter.

Suddenly, Lin Zhan turned to her and asked, "What are you looking at me?"

Ruan Qiao held her chin and didn't dodge her eyes at all. "It's nothing." She reached out and rubbed Lin Zhan's head, "Stay working hard!"

Seeing her serious look, Lin Zhan laughed and scolded, "Damn, you think I'm a three-year-old child."

***

A year is not long, but it is not short.

During this period, Ruan Qiao also became very busy due to the heavy junior high school courses.

Their major is different from other majors, and they will have no classes in their senior year. The first semester of senior year is for everyone to internship, and the second semester of senior year is for everyone to write papers, participate in graduation defense, and find a job.

All professional courses are compressed within three years, and the intensive ones are the most intensive to junior year.

Many students started preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination as soon as they entered their junior year. Ruan Qiao was trying to be admitted to the postgraduate entrance examination, but she had to prepare for the postgraduate entrance examination.

Many times, Ruan Qiao will feel very tired, but she is also learning to adapt to adjustment. She will go to the playground to run from time to time and participate in outdoor activities organized by the school.

She can still adjust herself, but Lin Zhan has no combination of work and rest.

Sometimes when Lin Zhan was making a phone call, he would be silent, but in a while, he could hear his even breathing.

***

Ruan Qiao now lives in Lin Zhan’s small apartment. When she gets home, she feeds the little goldfish and waters the green plants.

There were four people in the dormitory, and Chen Yangyang had no trace of him after he dropped out of school. Song Wanwan and Zhou Lu had both gone abroad smoothly.

Song Wanwan took IELTS four times before she could barely get into 5:50. She went to Australia and had to take language classes.

Zhou Lu's efforts in his sophomore year were not in vain. After three or five, he went to the UK.

Ruan Qiao felt quite amazing. After all, Zhou Lu did not have a good foundation in English. She asked herself to take the exam herself, and she probably scored six points in the nude exam.

The three of them gathered together before going abroad. After getting along for the past two years, their relationship was not very close, but they were harmonious.

Jiang Cheng and Song Wanwan went to the same school, and they were in the same family as the other two classmates.

The study abroad circle has always been clearly distinguished. In the past, they were still the same group of people. They lived a very comfortable life based on the dynamics of their circle of friends.

When Ruan Qiao is idle, she will leave some time to spare herself to miss her first time in college.

At that time, there were many unsatisfactory and many conflicts, but every day was very interesting.

Before her birthday, she received a gift from Song Wanwan and Jiang Cheng. Knowing that she liked the account, they jointly sent kikki.k's new products all year round. Jiang Cheng also brought private goods and sent gifts to Lin Zhan.

A week after her birthday, another gift due to transportation delays was also sent, from Zhou Lu. She also left a rare note, "See you next year."

Ruan Qiao suddenly remembered a saying, all encounters in the world are reunions after a long separation.

Then can she also say that all the long separations are for meeting again?

***

The gift she sent back to Jiangcheng at Linzhan School was one Saturday.

In the late autumn morning, the wind is very cold.

Ruan Qiao went out very early and specially brought chicken soup to Lin Zhan with insulated buckets, thinking that he would meet him before he went to morning self-study.

Unexpectedly, the school suspended morning reading for one day today, and many students seized the time to make up for sleep in the dormitory.

Ruan Qiao didn't want to disturb Lin Zhan's rest and planned to wait quietly. However, as soon as he walked to the playground, he saw a familiar figure running forward on the track. His steps were not big and his speed was not fast.

When Lin Zhan ran to this direction, Ruan Qiao saw clearly. He also wore headphones and muttered: "offence, offence..."

Lin Zhan ran without distraction and memorized the words, but he didn't seem to see Ruan Qiao beside him. It was not until he ran half a circle that his brain circuit felt some external information, stopped and turned around.

In fact, even Ruan Qiao did not expect that Lin Zhan would have such amazing endurance and determination, and was stunned for a moment.

***

At the end of the year, the art joint examination began.

Lin Zhan’s excellent results in the joint examination mean that as long as the cultural line meets the standards, he can choose any university in Pingnan Province with all art majors, and Nanyang University is no exception.

Ruan Qiao sorted out the admission scores for art-related majors in Nanjing University overnight. If Lin Zhan could pass the second-tier line in the college entrance examination, he could return to Nanjing University as an art student. Ruan Qiao felt relieved. With Lin Zhan’s current level, it should be no problem to pass the second-tier line.

But she also knew that Lin Zhan’s goal was not to return to Nanjing University.

February of the following year, early spring.

Lin Zhan only chose an art school, the Imperial Capital Academy of Fine Arts, to participate in the school entrance examination, and Ruan Qiao accompanied Lin Zhan to the north.

Lin Zhan won the eighth major.
