He Xuchunqiu

The day of the senior high school entrance examination coincided with the Dragon Boat Festival, and the sky was overcast.

He Xuren's examination room was randomly assigned to Shibei No. [-] Primary School. When entering the examination area, parents were not allowed to enter. The parents outside the sliding door looked eagerly, watching their children face the first test of their academic career.

Candidates wait outside the test preparation classroom in advance, and enter the test room half an hour before the test.

He someone held the nylon rope of the transparent test bag, and repeatedly checked whether the test supplies were ready outside the test room.

"Hey, Xu Ran, where have you been these past few months?" Chen Ming in the examination room next door was very surprised.

Xu Ran?Who quickly got away from the crowd.

Xu Ran stood among the classmates in the examination room next door, and simply greeted him.

One step, two steps, three steps... Who walked behind Xu Ran and said awkwardly: "Hey, Xu Ran, are you taking the exam here too?"

Xu Ran turned his head according to the sound, and patted someone on the head habitually: "Come on! I'm in the examination room upstairs from you, directly opposite, and if I don't know anything by then, you can give me telepathy. "

He Xu didn't know how to answer, and only then did he realize that in just three months, the alienation between them had begun to form a barrier.

"Just kidding, you are a good student, take the test well, the pride of our Class Six." Xu Ran smiled brightly, and awkwardly withdrew the hand that was about to reach for He Xuren's head, and finally patted him on the shoulder belatedly.

Who saw Xu Ran waving goodbye to his classmates, turned around and disappeared at the top of the ascending stairs, feeling lost in his heart, but still walked back to his examination room silently.

After several months of brushing the questions, He Shi has already done it with ease. He finished the test paper ahead of schedule, and he could only sit on the seat in a daze.

The gaze wanders from the printed to the handwritten on the test paper, and gradually drifts to the top of the head. It seems that anyone's sight can penetrate this slightly moldy lime ceiling and lock on a certain person.

Is Xu Ran right on top of my head?Was he also stumped by this dictation?Is he nervous?All sorts of conjectures popped up in anyone's mind.

With a "snap", someone's head was lightly hit by something.

"Hey, classmate, help us pick up that note." The candidate at the next table lowered his voice and leaned over, pointing to the ground at the same time.

Looking in the direction of the finger, whoever saw the "note", according to the actual situation, he felt that this fist-sized ball of paper should be called a "ball".

Whoever pretended not to hear, lowered his head and pretended to check the answer sheet, he didn't want to participate in cheating in the exam.If possible, who would even want to stand up and expose this group of people loudly to the invigilator.

But how can anyone hold back, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

Before the exam, the teacher once warned: "If someone is cheating, you'd better pretend that you didn't see it, and don't affect yourself."

Dad He didn't care either: "Where do so many cheaters and plagiarists come from, just take care of yourself and ensure your normal performance."

Mother He was disdainful: "Do you think others will copy yours? Even if someone copied it, it has nothing to do with you."

"Pa—" Another ball of paper hit He Xu.

"Will you die if you pass on the note?" Another examinee said eccentrically, "If you pretend to be noble, you may not be a good student."

He Xu clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and suddenly stood up.

The invigilator who was sitting on the podium and reading the newspaper immediately noticed someone's movements, and asked sharply, "This candidate, why are you standing up?"

What person really wanted to tell him what happened just now out loud, but the words turned into: "I'm done, I want to hand in the paper in advance."

After speaking, who would put all the admission ticket and pen into the document bag, pick up the test paper and answer sheet and hand them to the teacher, and then left the examination room.

There are still ten minutes before the papers are collected and cleared, and the entire campus is still blocked.Who picked up the umbrella that fell on the corridor and went downstairs. The sliding door of the school gate was already surrounded by waiting parents. Who looked around on tiptoe, and saw his father among the heads as expected.

While waiting for the winding bell to ring, the sky began to drizzle, and the rain gradually became thicker. There were more and more students stranded, and the chatter was noisy and dense.

Umbrellas bloomed one after another, and under each piece of canvas gathered a few heads, talking and laughing without mentioning the sorrow of parting.

"Who is he, he must have done well in the exam."

"It's okay, it's simpler than the simulation."

"Come on! I like you!"

"Thanks, you too."

"Which middle school are you going to go to for high school?"

"I'm planning to still study in City No. [-] Middle School."

"Me too, but the first middle school and the second middle school are both in the same option, and I'm afraid they will be randomly assigned at that time."

"Is that so?"

"It's okay, you can talk to Lao Ban when the time comes, it's just a phone call anyway."

"Hmm..." He Xu replied perfunctorily, looking for Xu Ran's figure accurately among the moving heads.

He opened the umbrella and squeezed through the crowd step by step until he was only one step away from Xu Ran.

The square umbrella covered the sky above Xu Ran, blocking the falling rain, who suddenly wanted to talk to him.

Who wants to know where Xu Ran has been these past few months, why he left school, why he has become so strange, why he treats him so well...

He Xu took the last small step forward, raised his breath and said, "Xu..."

"The school gate is open, let's go, let's go..." The campus was unsealed, and the sliding door slowly moved away.

Xu Ran didn't realize who the umbrella on his head came from. Who watched him strode out of the crowd in embarrassment, and then was slapped out of the school gate by the crazy crowd from behind.

Xu Ran was drenched in the rain and disappeared at the end of the hazy street. Who put away his umbrella and got on the little electric donkey that Father He rode.

It doesn't matter, there will be a chance to talk again later.

Who believed that Xu Ran would continue to be listed in the No. [-] Middle School, believed that they still had time to chat.

"How did you do in the exam? Don't feel pressured, just perform normally." Dad He's voice came from the front seat.

He Xu shook his head: "No pressure, it's okay."

Who really wished that he could take that step earlier and have a word with Xu Ran.

No one knows what he is afraid of. The exam went well, and the pressure of this test has disappeared, but in the not-too-distant future, he always feels that there will be even greater pressure that will crush him.
