The salty life in Life of Pi

Chapter 81 The Last Broadcast

During the three days of the college entrance examination, Wu Xianyu and Lin Miaomiao did not go out and were reviewing at home. They will have their final exams when they return to school after the holidays. The school also attaches great importance to this exam. After all, most of the time in the third year of high school is review, and there is not much to actually learn. Therefore, the results of this exam represent the future college entrance examination results to a certain extent.

After the holiday, we returned to school. Although there were no senior high school students, the atmosphere in the school was still tense. Even the number of students staying outside during breaks decreased significantly. The teachers no longer sat in the office, but watched from outside the classroom through the window from time to time.

Wu Xianyu didn't feel anything, as he had experienced this before, but Lin Miaomiao felt very uncomfortable. She was often startled when she saw a figure out of the corner of her eye, and when she turned around to look, she would be pointed at and told to pay attention in class.

Fortunately, this kind of day did not last long, and soon it was the day of the final exam. The day before, under the arrangement of the school, everyone arranged the tables to look like the college entrance examination, and everyone also received their own admission tickets, making it exactly the same as the college entrance examination.

Lin Miaomiao was so frightened that she didn't know where to put her admission ticket. She felt uneasy no matter where she put it. Finally, she listened to Wu Xianyu and bought a transparent stationery bag and put the admission ticket inside so that she could see it at any time.

The exam atmosphere this time was very different. After the first Chinese exam, Lin Miaomiao leaned against the wall, looking anxious.

"Oh, I feel so nervous this time. I have finished the Chinese test, but my mind is blank and I don't know what I wrote."

"It's okay. You don't need to use your brain for Chinese. It's basically all the same old stuff. Just do well in the next math exam."

Wu Xianyu spoke in a relaxed tone next to Lin Miaomiao. The exam in Jiangzhou was really easy. Although he had forgotten what the exam paper in Su Province looked like, it did not stop him from bragging.

Lin Miaomiao looked at Wu Xianyu who looked relaxed and was very envious.
"Xianyu, why have I never seen you nervous?"

"Who said that?"

Wu Xianyu turned to look at Lin Miaomiao with a sly smile on his face.

"Weren't you there every time I got nervous?"

It is a bit difficult to make a soul who has been working for several years in the next life nervous about school things, but it is too easy to make a person who has been a single dog in two lifetimes nervous. With just a little bit of intimate contact, Wu Xianyu will become famous.

After a moment's pause, Lin Miaomiao came to her senses, looked around, and made sure no one else was looking at her. She couldn't help but punch him.

"I'm telling you something serious."

After chatting for a while, Lin Miaomiao felt less nervous and returned to the examination room to review the math test points she had written. Although she had reviewed them several times, at this time she only looked at the questions to reduce the pressure.

Three days passed and the exam was over, but the teacher did not give everyone a chance to rest. He started talking about the college entrance examination paper. After finishing the college entrance examination paper, he continued to talk about the final examination paper.

Speaking of the final exam, there were quite a lot of changes in rankings this time. Lin Miaomiao broke out in a cold sweat when she looked at her ranking. She was just stuck at 20th place in the grade, which was a big step backward for her, who was one of the top ten students in the grade. This change in mentality did affect her state during the exam.

As soon as she got the ranking, Lin Miaomiao seemed to have lost all her energy and spirit. She lay on the table listlessly. When she saw Mai Ju looking at the results with a happy face, she grabbed her and put her in Wu Xianyu's seat.

"Juzi, why are you so happy? Did you do well in the exam?"

Mai Ju thought about it for a moment and shook his head.

"Not really. My grades are just like that. I can't compare with you guys, but I'm very stable. I don't know what happened this time. Many people who did better than me before didn't do as well as me this time. As a result, my ranking moved up."

"Shit, aren't you nervous during exams?"

Lin Miaomiao was a little envious of Mai Ju's big heart, but Mai Ju scratched his head, looking confused.

"Why should I be so nervous? My liberal arts scores are already high enough to qualify as an arts student."

It was a bit speechless, but Lin Miaomiao had nothing to say. The score line for art students was indeed low, and rankings were meaningless to her. Mai Ju really didn't need to be nervous.

With a wave of her hand, Lin Miaomiao drove Mai Ju away in a bad mood. Mai Ju giggled, pinched Lin Miaomiao's face and ran away to make room for Wu Xianyu, who had been waiting at the door for a while.

Wu Xianyu sat down and saw Lin Miaomiao like this, and couldn't help but tease

“I can’t escape the make-up class this time.”

"I'm already like this and you're still provoking me"

Lin Miaomiao was a little unhappy. She lay on the table and looked at Wu Xianyu with a pout.

Wu Xianyu's smile did not fade at all. He was tidying up his desk. Tomorrow was his holiday.

"You're already in the second year of high school, you still have to go to cram school. Otherwise, if you play around for two months, you won't feel like studying anymore. I was planning to go, and I was wondering how to persuade you to go. Now, you don't need me to persuade you. It'll be hard for you not to go."

"Humph, you have so many excuses. I think you just want to laugh at me."

Lin Miaomiao was in a bad mood, so she took advantage of the situation to vent her anger on Wu Xianyu, but Wu Xianyu didn't respond at all. He cleaned up his desk and looked at Lin Miaomiao, with an even bigger smile on his face.

"Student Lin Miaomiao, do you remember what day it is today?"

“The date doesn’t affect my mood.”

Halfway through her words, Lin Miaomiao remembered that today seemed to be June 6th, Wu Xianyu's birthday.

Roll your eyes and change the subject
"I'll go ask Mai Ju if he wants to sign up for a cram school."

After saying that, he climbed up from the table, ran to the back, and sat next to Mai Ju.

Wu Xianyu looked at her and smiled, and asked Lin Miaomiao for a gift at school without any preparation. There was plenty of time during the summer vacation, so there was no rush.

Seeing Lin Miaomiao running over with a blush on her face, Mai Ju was a little curious and gossipy, so she looked at Lin Miaomiao.

"What's wrong? Your face is so red."

"It's okay, it's okay. I just came to ask if you want to sign up for a cram school during the summer vacation."

Mai Ju looked at Lin Miaomiao with a look of astonishment, and even touched Lin Miaomiao's forehead, but quickly withdrew his hand with an expression of "as expected"
"You really have a fever, right? Why are you smiling and asking me if I want to enroll in a cram school? If I have that time, I must be preparing for the art exam. And your reaction, shouldn't you be unhappy when you heard the word cram school? Why are you smiling so happily?"

"Oh, I'm fine, my brain just short-circuited."

Lin Miaomiao reacted to what Mai Jue said and patted her face to calm herself down. She had just fantasized about something.

Then he looked at Mai Ju
"Why don't we find a cram school that teaches art exams and go there together, so we can see each other more often."

Mai Ju nodded, looking indifferent.

"Sure, the contents of art exams are almost the same anyway. I'll go home and tell you about the institutions that teach art exams." The two agreed to play together during the summer vacation. Lin Miaomiao reluctantly returned to her seat until class started. But she didn't dare to look at Wu Xianyu again. It wasn't because she didn't buy a gift, as she had bought it last month. It's just that the two had a tacit understanding that something would definitely happen at that time.

In this class meeting, Tang Yuanming didn't say anything. It was still about the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow and then the holiday. He just mentioned once about grades. Anyone who wants to study hard will know when they see their grades, and those who don't want to study hard don't mind these few words from him.

After the class meeting, he took out a test paper from somewhere.

"Okay, the class meeting ends here. Now, everyone take out your history papers. We will finish the remaining questions today."

The students in the audience sighed for a while, but still took out their test papers obediently.

After the class ended, Lin Miaomiao packed up her books and remembered that today was the last broadcast. She felt sad again and looked at Wu Xianyu.

"Xianyu, today is our last broadcast"

"Well, everything has an end, and standing guard for the last time is the last thing we can do."

Wu Xianyu knew that Lin Miaomiao was in a bad mood, so he tried to comfort her a little.

"Alas, I know that too. I am just simply sad and a little reluctant."

"Um"

Wu Xianyu crossed his arms and touched the sparse stubble on his chin, thinking for a while, then looked at Lin Miaomiao with a smile on his face.

"So? Do you want to say something different for this last broadcast?"

"Hmm? What new ideas do you have?"

Lin Miaomiao was very familiar with Wu Xianyu. Seeing this expression, she knew that he must have some idea.

"Then tell me if you want something different."

"Tell me about it first."

Lin Miaomiao was still wary, fearing that Wu Xianyu would create a situation that would end badly.

The two of them huddled together and whispered. Lin Miaomiao felt good after listening to them, nodded, and a smile appeared on her face.

"Then I'll go to the webmaster's office to get the manuscript, and you go get the things you need."

"it is good"

After discussing their respective goals, the two went their separate ways. Lin Miaomiao skillfully came to the webmaster's office, greeted the webmaster, and picked up the manuscript on the table. The webmaster suddenly called her.

"Is this your and Wu Xianyu's last broadcast today?"

As he spoke, the stationmaster looked at Lin Miaomiao. At this time, other teachers in the office also spoke up.

"Thinking about it, time flies. Two years have passed in an instant. I like you as a group of broadcasters the most. I don't know if there will be broadcasters like you in the future."

Lin Miaomiao thought about what she had to do today, and felt a little guilty. She scratched her hair.
“We are not as good as the teachers say, and we also make mistakes.”

"Hahaha"

The stationmaster stood up and patted Lin Miaomiao on the shoulder.
"Everyone makes mistakes sometimes, but you all solved them by yourselves, that's your ability. Okay, I won't delay your lunch time, go ahead."

After saying that, the webmaster gave Lin Miaomiao a gentle push on the back and watched her jump out of the office.

After seeing Lin Miaomiao off, the stationmaster sighed and sat back in his seat. The teacher next to him couldn't help but tease him.
"Are you already thinking about where to find a broadcaster of such high level?"

“Don’t mention it.”

The stationmaster was obviously not in a very good mood. It was easy to find broadcasters of this level, but it was very difficult to find a pair as tacitly compatible and complementary as Lin Miaomiao and Wu Xianyu.

After waiting in the broadcasting room for a while, Wu Xianyu came in with lunch boxes for two people and a guitar case on his back. Lin Miaomiao looked at the manuscript in her hand and began to hesitate again. She looked at Wu Xianyu.

"Xianyu, do we really want to do this? Will it have a negative impact on the webmaster?"

"No, now that the exams are over, summer vacation will start tomorrow. Now is the time to relax. Besides, we have both worked diligently for two years. If the principal really wants to make trouble for the stationmaster for this matter, then we will go and argue with the principal. I don't believe that the hard work of the past two years can't make up for this mistake."

Wu Xianyu was already in the mood and even borrowed a guitar.

Lin Miaomiao was just a little worried about the stationmaster, but she remembered that the principal was not an unreasonable person, so she felt relieved and started to rehearse the lines she was going to say with Wu Xianyu.

bell--
The bell rang, and the quiet school became noisy. The loudspeakers also began to emit the familiar voices of the students.

Lin: Good afternoon everyone, I am broadcaster Lin Miaomiao.
Wu: I am Wu Xianyu

The students thought that the two were still going to read the manuscript as usual and did not take it seriously at first, but things turned out to be beyond their expectations.

Wu: I suddenly don’t want to read from the script today. After all, this is our last broadcast. I want to do something.
Lin: Huh? If you want to cause trouble, don't drag me into it. I still want to stand guard for the last time.

The webmaster, who was leaning back in his office chair, was startled when he heard the two say this and straightened up.

Wu: I don’t mean to do anything earth-shattering. I just want to talk about my life as a broadcaster over the past two years. Why don’t you go first and tell me how you feel about your life as a broadcaster?
Hearing Wu Xianyu's words, the stationmaster, who was about to stand up, sat back down. He was wondering what he was going to do. It was just not reading according to the script. It didn't matter. He wanted to see what tricks Wu Xianyu could come up with today.

Lin: Yeah. Let me think about it. When it comes to the benefits that being a broadcaster has brought me, I have to mention why I chose the radio station when I signed up for the club.
Wu: Please tell me more.
Lin: Let me make this clear first. Don’t laugh when you hear my reason. It’s actually very simple. I can get my lunch early one day a week and I can skip one self-study class.
Wu: Hahahahahaha.
Lin: We agreed not to laugh!

In fact, it was not only Wu Xianyu who laughed. Many students who were listening to the radio also laughed. However, people who were familiar with Lin Miaomiao felt that this reason was a bit funny but absolutely true.

Wu: Okay, I won’t laugh anymore, hahahaha
Lin: You’re done playing, right? Then tell me why you joined the radio station.
Wu: Uh, do I really want to tell you? I’m afraid that Teacher Zhao Rongbao will cause trouble for me.
Zhao Rongbao, who was in the office organizing the content for tomorrow's parent-teacher meeting, was a little stunned when he heard his own name, but he quickly remembered why Wu Xianyu signed up for the radio station, and he couldn't help laughing.

Lin: Just say it. Anyway, Lao Zhao teaches the science class and we are in the liberal arts class. Even if he calls us, Teacher Tang will stop us.
Lin Miaomiao's tone was encouraging and smiling, and the students listening to the radio couldn't help but become curious about what Wu Xianyu had signed up for the radio station for.

Wu: Okay, I told you, you are not allowed to laugh. Actually, I didn’t want to join any clubs at first. How could a lazy person like me find something to do? But my head teacher at that time, Mr. Zhao Rongbao, heard that I didn’t join any clubs, and said to me with a smile, "Wu Xianyu, if there is no club you want to join, then come to my math club. There are always new math problems waiting for you."

Wu: I shuddered when I heard that. How happy and fulfilling is life to have to suffer in the hell of Mathematics Club? I quickly signed up for the radio station.
Lin: Hahahahahaha
