Crossflow

Jingpu's one-size-fits-all test papers this year were very difficult. Even Tao Fengche felt that the questions were a bit out of line, and it took a lot of brains to do it, let alone other students.

Although most of the international high school students do not intend to take the college entrance examination, and the possibility of staying in Kyushu to study in a university is very small, they are still hit hard by this exam, and there are complaints outside the exam room. Candidates.

For example, Wang Yuan, who has a relatively poor ability to withstand stress, even hid in the school dormitory for nearly two weeks, and did not dare to go home on weekends, for fear of being caught by his parents who hoped that his son would become a dragon, and would be lectured again.

The results of the city's unified examination came out very quickly, and within three days after the examination, they were sent back to the school along with the city's ranking.

Although the teachers in the third grade group were not particularly satisfied with this report card, they were not really unkind.Looking at the frowning students at the bottom of the podium, he didn't continue to criticize. He only said that the role of the model is to get the bottom line, and the difficulty will be much higher than that of the college entrance examination. Turn this matter over.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately felt that the rest of their lives were doomed—parents don’t care if you go abroad or not, the family has invested a lot of education funds, but the results and rankings of the unified examination are not good, and even such simple things as learning can’t be done well. , What should I do when I step into society in the future?

With such a "death-free gold medal", the burden on everyone's hearts is much lighter.But before I could catch my breath for a few days, the school issued a volunteer application form, saying that it wanted to make statistics on everyone's intended colleges and majors, and gently suggested that they could apply to more schools.

But Feng Hui's words were not as polite and gentle as in the notice from the super group.

This was the first class of students she led, and it was a key class. Feng Hui paid special attention to it, and specially selected a self-study class as a class meeting to talk about applying for schools.

She made dozens of pages of PPT and spoke on the podium for more than half an hour. In fact, there was only one central idea—don't be too ambitious, let alone belittle yourself, and apply for as much as you can.Apply to some schools with various rankings in each country. It is correct to cast a wide net. The most important thing is that you must apply for one or two guaranteed colleges and leave yourself a way out.

Feng Hui had made sufficient preparations. She was afraid that the students would not believe her, so she specifically cited the example of a certain student in the last few sessions—he usually had good grades and high spirits. He only applied for the top three in country A's global ranking. All the universities chose strong majors, but they didn't get an offer at the end, and they didn't want to stay in Kyushu to study, so they could only repeat for a year.

"Although the probability of this kind of thing happening is very small, everyone must take heed of it. After all, it fell on your own head, that is [-]%..."

Feng Huiwu was chattering on the stage, Tao Fengche slightly lowered his head, looking at the snow-white application form in a daze, with a preoccupied look, so he missed Wang Yuan's worried eyes.

After school, Wang Yuan put on his wallet, and instead of rushing to the cafeteria to eat immediately as usual, he walked a few steps quickly and stopped Tao Fengche at the door of his class: "Brother Tao! Wait!"

Tao Fengche turned around and gave him a puzzled look.

"Why are you walking so fast today, and there is a tiger chasing you?" Wang Yuan complained, and then said, "Will I die if I walk together later?"

Tao Fengche was a little surprised: "Are you going out for dinner today?"

"Yes." Wang Yuan curled his lips, "The chefs who cook Chinese food in the cafeteria have been very erratic recently, sometimes they are salty, and sometimes they fade away. I will go to the commercial street for a change."

"Oh."

Tao Fengche nodded noncommittally, turned around and walked out, but his pace was slightly slower than before.

Wang Yuan chuckled and hurried to follow.

The international school occupies a large area, and there is a long way to go from the teaching building to the school gate.

The two walked side by side on the school road, surrounded by groups of students walking in a hurry.Wang Yuan changed the topic several times in a row, but Tao Fengche only responded briefly, looking a little absent-minded.

Wang Yuan was silent for a moment, and said with relief: "Brother Tao, don't worry, you usually have such good grades, but you failed the final exam last semester, you must be fine. Besides, the school in the Western Continent is not Just look at the grades, you still have so many professionally-matched internship experiences, social practice, other people can’t catch up with you.”

"Besides, with your family's conditions, you can't get a recommendation letter from a big name in the industry? Let's not talk about it, just the dean of your research institute can write you a letter, which is heavy enough. "

Wang Yuan said a lot of earnest words, but when he turned his head to look, Tao Fengche still had a face of indifference, and he didn't know if he had listened to the words.

Isn't this person still in a daze?Wang Yuan muttered inwardly, couldn't hold back, and said in a low voice: "...you knew this earlier, so why did you do it in the first place?"

Tao Fengche: "..."

He glanced at Wang Yuan with no warmth in his eyes, and angrily elbowed Wang Yuan's waist.

Tao Fengche's strength was very precise, far from being called "heavy", but Wang Yuan seemed to have been stabbed through with a sword, covered the "wound" with a groan and bent down, as if was seriously injured.

"..." Tao Fengche stopped, "Stop acting, enough is enough."

Wang Yuan ignored him, and murmured while covering the "wound".

Tao Fengche's eyebrows twitched imperceptibly twice, and he added with restraint: "Many omega are looking at you."

Wang Yuan: "?!"

This sentence seemed to be an immediate boost to the heart, and Wang Yuan's waist pain stopped instantly, and his legs didn't hurt anymore, and he straightened up as usual.

Facing Tao Fengche's hidden disdainful eyes, Wang Yuan hecked twice indifferently.

Tao Fengche didn't bother to talk to him, and let Wang Yuan put his hand on his shoulder affectionately, and walked forward with his arms around him.

Wang Yuan is only nervous, but he is not a stupid person. Tao Fengche has been in a low mood today, and he is tired after acting alone for a long time, so he simply stopped talking and let the silence flow between the two of them.

After a long while, Tao Fengche suddenly sighed: "It's not because of this."

"kindness?"

"I just... suddenly don't want to go."

Wang Yuan turned his head in surprise, but he didn't see the half-joke on Tao Fengche's face.

"No, Brother Tao, do you have a fever?"

Tao Fengche rolled his eyes at him: "No."

Wang Yuan himself is an actor who gets addicted to drama from time to time, but Tao Fengche basically doesn't play with him very much.He stared at Tao Fengche for a long time, but he really didn't see the shadow of acting in him, and when he thought about Tao Fengche's words carefully, his heart felt turbulent——

How could Tao Fengche suddenly have such an idea?

After studying for so long and making so many preparations, why not go now?

If you don't go abroad, wouldn't all the hard work over the years be in vain?

...However, this incident was not without warning.

During the summer vacation of the second year of high school, the school organized a summer camp at Z University.In order not to participate, Tao Fengche even took the last test on purpose.At that time, Wang Yuan didn't know the secret behind Tao Zhixing's death, he just thought it was Tao Fengche's whim in adolescence and deliberately rebellious.

After he found out, he secretly guessed that Tao Fengche's insistence on staying in Kyushu was probably to investigate the truth.

But... isn't this matter already resolved?Wang Yuan frowned.

Last September, Tao Fengche called and asked him to help investigate an overseas account, saying that the matter was related to Tao Zhixing's death.He didn't dare to be careless, and sent the results of the inquiry a few days after the night of burning lights, and after that, Tao Fengche didn't return to school for a week.

He went to Feng Hui to inquire, and Feng Hui said that the sick leave was requested by his parents, but after Tao Fengche came back, there was no sign of recovering from serious illness at all.

Wang Yuan was really worried, and after asking round and round for a long time, Tao Fengche gave the answer vaguely, saying that the matter had been settled, so he should not worry.

Wang Yuan knew and was interested, so he didn't continue to inquire, just pretending that he had never heard of this matter.

But with Tao Fengche's attitude now, could it be that something went wrong again, or something very complicated was involved...?

Wang Yuan shivered in the cold winter wind, not daring to think about it any further.

He turned his head to look at Tao Fengche, and sighed a long time: "All right, I won't ask you the specific reason, anyway, you won't tell me if I ask."

At the end of the story, it was a bit of a complaint.Tao Fengche sneered, but did not refute.

Wang Yuan had expected this result long ago, and he didn't feel lonely, so he continued on his own: "Since you have already made a decision, I won't persuade you much. But I think you'd better think it over carefully. Let's see if there is room for improvement in the matter, is it necessary to stay in Kyushu..."

"If in the end, you still decide not to go abroad, then don't make the decision by yourself like last time. You must discuss it with your family, or your brother will be angry."

Tao Fengche nodded: "I know that."

Wang Yuan thought for a while, and a struggle flashed across his face, and he said again: "Actually... even if your brother speaks a little harshly sometimes, it's for your own good. He really treats you very well...don't mad at him."

Tao Fengche glanced at him without refuting, and just listened to Wang Yuan continue talking.

"And I'm really envious of you. Why don't you think I don't have such a big brother? It's not because of relatives, but he's good-looking and treats me so well..."

It's not over, is it?

The more you talk, the more you go too far, and now you are still thinking about grabbing Sui Yuesheng? !

Tao Fengche couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted him with a smile and cursing: "Okay, it's up to you to say that?"

"That's good." Wang Yuan nodded, looking relieved, then looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to their corner, so he leaned closer to Tao Fengche and whispered, "If you don't If you insist on going your own way after discussing with your family, I'm afraid you will be beaten by your brother."

Tao Fengche: "?!"

He turned around and wanted to clean up Wang Yuan, but the man ran away as soon as he finished speaking.Wang Yuan didn't have a schoolbag on his back, and his figure was light, which was in stark contrast to Tao Fengche, whose shoulders were hurting from the weight of the schoolbag at the moment.

Tao Fengche looked at Wang Yuan's back, he was really too lazy to chase him, so he snorted angrily and amusedly, turned his head and looked ahead, at the school gate, a pure black Maybach had already parked there quietly.

Tao Fengche shook his head helplessly, completely dismissed the idea of ​​catching up with Wang Yuan and beating him up, and walked towards the school gate.

...It is more important to have an open and honest talk with Yuesheng than to beat Wang Yuan up.

But Tao Fengche really didn't know how to follow Yuesheng.

Until dinner was over, this matter was still stuck in his heart, like a rock, constantly annoying.

After the meal, the two went to the study as usual.Sui Yuesheng has a transnational video conference to be held today. He is sitting at the desk in a suit and leather shoes, holding a capacitive pen in his hand, drawing a few circles on the tablet from time to time, and then giving feedback.

The way he was wearing gold-rimmed glasses and speaking English was really pretty, and Tao Fengche couldn't help but look up at him from time to time because he still had something on his mind.

In the end, even Tao Fengche couldn't tell whether he was looking up at Sui Yuesheng's state, or whether he simply thought he was good-looking and wanted to take a second look.

Sui Yuesheng caught Tao Fengche's gaze early in the morning, but he didn't open his mouth because of his work. He waited until the meeting was over before turning off the software and turning to look at Tao Fengche: "What's wrong? I've been looking at me for something. Want to say?"

Tao Fengche was well aware of Sui Yuesheng's sensitivity, so he nodded slightly.

He put down the pen in his hand, and took this opportunity to go through the draft in his mind again—it must be done step by step, and he couldn't give Sui Yuesheng strong medicine at the beginning.

So he pretended not to notice, and said as if he was just casually chatting with Yuesheng: "The school sent out an interest form today, let us fill in the colleges and majors we are going to apply for, and then give it to the parents to sign."

Sui Yuesheng nodded slightly, with a very interested look: "Oh? Then which school do you want to go to?"
