Chapter 178 Heartbeat
During the time when Ruyi was approaching the high school entrance examination, Darong never scolded her about her study problems again. In Ruyi's own words, it had come to this point, whether it was good or bad, it was just a shock, and there was no need to worry about it anymore.
"Do you think Ruyi's grades will allow him to be admitted to the experiment?"
In the evening, Darong was exhausted after coming home from get off work. She leaned on the back of the sofa and chatted with Zhong Yunxing.
"The scores from these few mock exams are just enough to meet last year's admission score. I don't know what the score line is this year. Don't ask her. It's too late now. She can only rely on herself."
Zhong Yunxing’s latest project has also started. Although he gets off work earlier than Darong every day, he is no less tired than Darong.
"Last year, the experimental school had a school selection fee. If there is a slight difference in the score, we will pay it for Ruyi." Darong said with a sigh.
When Ruyi was in school, there was a school selection system for high school entrance exams. That is to say, if a student's score was below the admission score but the difference was not too big, he or she could choose to pay the school selection fee and go to a key high school. The key high school in the southern suburbs was the Experimental Middle School at that time.
However, the cost of school selection is not small. Some children are just one or two points away from being admitted, and their parents are really unwilling to give up and let their children go to Xiang Er Middle School.
Ruyi’s physics grades have always been poor, always hovering around the passing line, in sharp contrast to this is her Chinese grades.
Because she loves reading and writing, Ruyi’s composition scores are always far ahead in the class, and her articles are often cited as models by teachers and circulated among the grade group.
But sometimes fate likes to play tricks on us. No one would have thought that what really prevented Ruyi from taking the experiment was precisely the low score for her composition.
Because the composition score is the one that is most influenced by personal factors among all subjects, just because Ruyi’s Chinese teacher likes her style does not mean that the examiner will also appreciate it.
Just like the readers who are following the story now like Xiao Re’s stories, but Xiao Re will also receive a lot of criticisms in the background. Preferences are not restricted by rules at all.
Ruyi's writing score usually started at 40 points, but in the high school entrance examination, she only got 23 points, a full 18 points away from the admission score of the experimental school.
"Why don't you repeat a year?"
On the day when she got back her high school entrance examination results, Darong frowned and didn't know what to do.
She knew that Ruyi's grades were always hovering around the admission score line for the experimental school, so she worked day and night to save money just to give her enough money to choose a school.
But this time, Ruyi, who was 18 points short, didn't even qualify for the school selection exam.
"Whatever you pass the exam with is fine. This time it's pretty good. Don't worry about it. Just work hard and get into Lane 2."
In fact, Ruyi also felt a big gap in her heart, but she never confined herself to other things. Although she was delicate and sensitive, she was very open-minded and cheerful. Sadness and grief only flashed by and never trapped her.
Because Ruyi insisted on not repeating a grade, Zhong Yunxing and Darong had no choice but to accept the fact that she went to Lane 2 to study. During the summer vacation after the high school entrance examination, Ruyi had a relaxing and enjoyable time.
"Ruyi, I'm also in Alley 2." Song Jinyu came up from behind and chatted with Ruyi happily.
"Why are you calling me Ruyi?" Ruyi thought it was Jindan who was calling her, but when she turned around she saw Song Jinyu.
"Ah... aren't you... called Ruyi?"
Song Jinyu was choked by Ruyi and stuttered nervously. It was indeed the first time he called Ruyi by her nickname.
"Tsk... My name is Zhong Ruotong." Ruyi rolled her eyes at Song Jinyu and continued walking forward.
Because Song Jinyu had extra points for being a student with sports expertise, she was able to successfully enter high school and was admitted to Lane 2 together with Ruyi.
In fact, what Ruyi said to Jindan at the beginning was just an excuse to let him study hard. He and Song Jinyu were just ordinary classmates and they did not have much contact other than greeting.
"Ruotong..."
"Zhong Ruotong!" Ruyi corrected again.
"…Is he the only one who can make you wish as you wish?"
Song Jinyu was tall, but he looked like a little child when standing in front of Ruyi, frowning and looking jealous.
"Yes." Ruyi raised her head and looked at the little boy in front of her and said with certainty.
"Why? Are you two a couple?" After hesitating for a long time, Song Jinyu finally asked the question in her heart.
"When I was a kid, I drank the noodle soup made by his mother and wore the clothes he wore. Why do you think so?"
Ruyi felt her neck was sore, so she simply stopped looking up at him and just walked and talked with her head down.
"Song Jinyu, I don't have those weird ideas like you, and my mother doesn't allow me to fall in love too early. The only difference between Jinxu and you is that he grew up with me, and everything else is the same."
After listening to Ruyi's words, Song Jinyu didn't say anything for a long time. He just followed Ruyi silently all the way to the gate of Ruyi's community.
"Don't follow me anymore, to avoid misunderstandings. When school starts, say hello if you see me at school. If you don't see each other, don't bother each other. We are all classmates, just get along well."
Ruyi's simple words brought her relationship with Song Jinyu back to the starting point.
In fact, Ruyi is not unaware of the little feelings of these boys and girls, but to her, both Song Jinyu and Jindan seem to lack certain qualities that can resonate with her heart and make her heart beat fast.
This feeling successfully awakened the gentleness and tenderness of a young girl deep in Ruyi's heart on the first day she reported to high school.
"Classmate, do you know which one is the Erudite Building?"
Zhong Ruyi was late on the first day of her freshman year in high school. Because Lane 2 was far from her home, she had to change her way of going to school from riding a bicycle to taking the bus.
Ruyi did not manage her time well, and when she arrived at school, there were no students in the yard. After she saw her class on the board at the gate, she began to look for the sign of the Boxue Building.
Lane 2 is a large comprehensive school, divided into junior high school and senior high school. Ruyi had never been to Lane 2 before, so she had been wandering around the junior high school and had not found the Boxue Building of the senior high school.
Just when she was getting anxious, she saw a little boy walking out of the building in front. Ruyi quickly stepped forward to catch up with the boy and asked him about the location of the Boxue Building.
When the little boy turned around, Ruyi's eyes lit up. That feeling was probably called heart-beating.
The boy looks older than I expected, sunny and handsome, wearing simple sportswear and basketball shoes. He is tall and has a nice little canine tooth when he smiles.
