Love Letters

Five stops away from He Miao's house, Xu Mobai prepared to get off the bus.

"Give!"

Before Xu Mobai got off the car, He Miao hurriedly took out a bottle of soda from his schoolbag and stuffed it into his hand.

"I was almost intercepted by my uncle just now."

Seeing that he didn't take it, she remembered the drink she gave him last time, and thought he disliked it, so she explained again, "Don't worry, I didn't open my mouth this time."

He Miao raised the half-empty bottle of soda in his left hand towards him.

"Thanks for the note."

Xu Mobai glanced at the less than half-full soda in her left hand and reached out to take it.

"Xu Mobai."

Xu Mobai walked to the back door and turned back to look at her, staring straight into her eyes.

"If I do well in the exam this time, can you teach me how to study?"

Xu Mobai didn't say a word. His lips moved slightly, but he didn't say anything. He just looked at her silently, like a silent rejection.

"Do you think I can do well in the exam?"

He Miao kept talking to himself, and gradually he began to lack confidence.

After a long while, he finally said, "Just try your best."

He Miao refused to accept this and insisted on getting good grades to make him look down on her.

Soon, the car door opened and closed, the car became much more spacious, and continued to drive to the next destination.

Ever since getting Xu Mobai's notes, He Miao has been walking with more energy.

I feel like I own the world with notes in hand.

"He Miao, what are you so happy about?"

Chen Shenggen, an uncle selling pork, couldn't help but ask when he saw He Miao with a happy face.

He Miao, who was jumping around, stopped and greeted him, "Good evening, Uncle Shenggen."

Chen Shenggen laughed and said, "Tell your uncle if you have any good news. Don't hide it!"

He Miao looked around to see if there was anyone around and whispered, "Hey, hey, hey, I might be able to get into college."

"Huh? Really? You are not kidding me, are you?"

Everyone around him knew He Miao's grades. They were always at the bottom and he never passed.

Zhang Meili is scolded every day, every year, and the neighbors around her have gotten used to it.

But in the end, he didn't want to undermine the child's self-confidence, so Chen Shenggen looked at He Miao with a smile and said, "This is a good thing. What else do you have to hide?"

He Miao patted his chest and said, "Of course I'm not kidding."

Chen Shenggen's eyes lit up, "Then uncle is waiting for your admission letter."

Before getting the notes, He Miao was completely focused on how to take the notes and had no energy to concentrate on listening to the class.

After getting the notes, He Miao became elated and even started thinking about which university to apply to.

This was unthinkable in the past.

Before going to bed, He Miao took a few careful glances at Xu Mobai's handwriting. It was really beautiful.

At night, He Miao had a dream.

In her dream, she was admitted to university, her whole family was very happy, and many people in the community came to praise her.

There was even a long line in the corridor of her old and dilapidated building, all of whom were there to see her.

Zhang Meili delivered candies and snacks door to door, and praised everyone she met, "My Miao Miao is doing really well!"

The school even mentioned her specially and praised her in front of all the teachers and students as the one who made the most progress. She even received a bonus…

But later...

She saw Xu Mobai approaching her, asking her to hand over her notes and report her for cheating in the exam.

So, the scoreboard with her achievements printed on it was quickly torn off and replaced with a new one.

He Miao subconsciously looked up from the last row.

Good! She is not the last one.

The bud of joy that had just sprouted in my heart was quickly pinched off by reality.

Because she found out she was not on the list.

"That's right, because you've been fired!"

Suddenly a cold voice came from behind. He Miao turned around suddenly and found nothing.

"He Miao, pack up and get ready to go home."

Hu Datu suddenly appeared and informed her with a gloating look.

"Teacher Hu, I......"

Before he could finish his words, Hu Datu suddenly had He Miao thrown out of the school.

Afterwards, He Miao's schoolbag was also thrown out, and the school gate was quickly closed with a "bang".

She picked up her bag and prepared to go home, but her feet seemed out of control and she started walking straight towards the factory gate.

She tried to call for help, but no one came to her aid.

After that, she saw the black-hearted agent and her unscrupulous factory boss.

He Miao was dragged in and never came out.

“No…”

Early in the morning, He Miao suddenly woke up.

She looked around at the familiar layout and luckily, she was still in her room.

Fortunately, it was just a dream.

The birds outside the window were chirping anxiously, as if they were going to explode if she didn't get up and sleep.

He Miao reached out and touched the table beside the bed, fortunately the notes were still there.

The dream is fake, but the notes are real.

I'm really afraid that this is all a dream.

When she touched her forehead, it was covered in sweat.

Not only her forehead, her whole body was sweating.

The electric fan beside the bed had stopped. She got up and saw that there was a power outage.

She stood up and opened the window a little. The light blue curtains brought in the hot wind with the scent of gardenia, which blew her hair and brought a hint of coolness.

Without bothering to recall the logic and details of the dream, He Miao hurried to wash up.

"Good morning, Uncle Shenggen."

"Good morning, He Miao!"

"Good morning, Grandma Zhao."

He Miao greets neighbors in the community.

"Why is He Miao here so early today!"

"I want to study hard and go to college."

"Okay, okay! Good luck in getting into college. It will make your parents proud."

Grandma Zhao stuffed two homemade buns into her pocket and said, "Grandma, I have some buns here. They're still warm. Take two and eat them on the way."

He Miao didn't hesitate to say thank you and then took one and put it in his mouth.

An old fan was creaking overhead, the air was filled with the scent of the original Liushen floral water, and a faint light was coming through from behind the curtain.

"Has He Miao changed his personality?"

"She's actually studying. Is there something wrong with my eyes or her brain?"

Ever since getting Xu Mobai's notes, He Miao has become more and more arrogant.

It’s only been a few days since I got the notes and the monthly exam is here.

He Miao entered the examination room with full confidence, she felt that her notes would help her get good grades.

She sat in her seat, spread out her stationery, and waited for the exam to begin.

She looked at the classmates around her and then at the clock on the wall.

As soon as the bell rang, the teacher began to distribute the test papers.

As soon as he got the test paper, He Miao started answering the questions.

There are many things he doesn’t know how to do and many things he can’t make up his mind about, but He Miao is still confident that he can make progress.

Time passed by minute by minute.

Soon, the first student left the examination room.

He Miao glanced at Xu Mobai next to him. He was still sitting in his seat and looked like he was thinking.

Did he also encounter a problem he couldn’t solve?

It seems that it is difficult because the questions this time are too difficult, so it’s not her fault.

He Miao concentrated on her own paper again. She went over it first, guessing and guessing.

When the teacher reminded him that there was still half an hour left, He Miao covered all the multiple-choice questions that he didn't understand.

He Miao thought he had done fairly well in the exam.

It’s the first serious exam in so many years, and I feel a sense of familiarity, strangeness and excitement.

Not to mention a huge breakthrough, He Miao felt that no matter how bad it was, it was still better than before.

Soon, the monthly exam results came out, and He Miao was still ranked last.
