After getting on with the enemy

The division of arts and sciences is the first major event in the three years of high school. It is of great significance, and how to choose is also critical.

According to the data experience of previous years, most students will choose science with their eyes closed. Even if they are not good at it, or they have better grades in liberal arts, the overall intention of the public is still biased towards science.

Science students can study science/engineering majors when they arrive at the university. There are many employment directions and a wide range of choices.

Parents and students are more realistic in this regard. Due to the prejudice of the general environment, most people will not consider whether they are suitable or not, and their future career intentions. look again.

Some students even want to choose liberal arts, but their parents do not agree, and sometimes teachers do not recommend it.Because the difference in the scores of these students in arts and sciences is not particularly large, although the combined scores of arts and sciences are higher than those of science, they do not have an absolute advantage, so there is no need to choose this way, which is irrational in the long run.

The boundaries of subject selection back then were extremely clear, literature was literature, and science was science. Regardless of your strengths and weaknesses, there was no compromise selection method. 3+3" or "3+1+2" policy, students can independently decide the combination of subjects and have great freedom of choice.

At that time, Zhou Xiyun was good at both arts and sciences. The choice of subjects was determined by his own situation and interests. He chose science after discussing with his family.

Qiao Yan is not the case. She is not outstanding on both sides, plus she doesn't know politics, and she failed the mid-term and final exams, so she had no choice but to choose science.

Qiao Yan initially thought that Zhou Xiyun would choose liberal arts, and guessed that this person might study management or international economics and trade in the future, which can be regarded as a liberal arts major in theory.

After all, the Zhou family had high expectations for Zhou Xiyun. Zhou Huiwen put so much effort in cultivating her daughter, all she wanted was for Zhou Xiyun to inherit her own company, and hoped that she could choose a similar direction, so that she would have a successor after she stepped down in the future.Knowing that Zhou Xiyun chose science, Qiao Yan felt less depressed for some reason, and felt okay, which is not bad.

Zhou Xiyun's heart is not so relaxed. The result of class division has not yet come out, and it is still unknown what happened.

Final exams are held a week later and run over four and a half days, beginning on Monday and ending on Friday morning.

The difficulty of this exam is quite high, and it is not a level compared to the previous ones.In order to select the small number of top students, the school has worked hard, and I am afraid that the students will not be able to be separated. Almost every subject has four or five very difficult questions, even English is no exception. Reading The difficulty of comprehension and translation questions has directly increased by at least three steps.

After finishing the last question and exiting the examination room, the students complained incessantly, each of them complained in dismay, and some began to discuss the answers.

Zhou Xiyun and Qiao Yan were not in the same exam room. According to the ranking of the last monthly exam, Zhou Xiyun was in the 01 exam room, and Qiao Yan was in the 07 exam room. There was a big difference.

Zhou Xiyun handed in the papers ahead of time and waited outside the 07 examination room, and stepped forward when Qiao Yan came out.

After the exam, Qiao Yan's cheeks were flushed. He was so nervous that his palms were covered with sweat.Qiao Yan asked, "You just rang the bell, why are you here?"

Zhou Xiyun didn't talk too much, first he said that the driver was already waiting at the school gate, and they had to leave after they returned to class for a small meeting, and then asked Qiao Yan how he was doing.

Qiao Yan said eloquently: "It's not good, I can't write many of them, and I don't have any ideas. This time it's too difficult."

"Have you finished the basic questions?" Zhou Xiyun asked, already expecting this situation, and didn't bother to worry about whether the other party wrote the big questions.

"It must be finished, I have written it all." Qiao Yan said, suddenly threw the pencil case over his shoulder, leaned forward and nudged her lightly, "I have done everything I know how to do, and I have checked it several times. If you really don’t know how to do it, don’t worry about it, don’t waste your time on it.”

Before the exam, Zhou Xiyun taught Qiao Yan some exam-taking skills, how to make choices, and how to use the prescribed time to maximize efficiency. Qiao Yan also listened to it this time, and strictly followed these methods when entering the exam room. Get the points first, put the more difficult ones later, and resign yourself to the fate of those beyond your ability.

Qiao Yan felt that he was okay, he could perform well, and the basic questions should not be too bad.She babbled a lot, to the effect that it would be no problem to enter the fast class after the class was divided, so as not to fall into the parallel class.

The classification of Chinese science in City A is slightly different from other schools. Most of the other schools determine the grades once, and only look at the end of the semester. However, No. [-] High School is calculated based on the scores of all the exams in the previous semester, including the senior high school entrance examination. Each exam has a certain proportion, and the final class is divided by the comprehensive ranking.

Qiao Yan did well in the first monthly exam and the mid-term exam. His grade ranking in science was within [-], but the second and third monthly exams were a bit worse. He didn't make it into the top [-]. Considering the final exam, Her estimate is relatively safe and conservative, and she can indeed enter the fast class.

Qiao Yan was quite optimistic. Others were drooping their heads and regretting that they did not pass the exam. She was relaxed, and she thanked Zhou Xiyun generously, expressing her gratitude for his help before the exam.

Zhou Xiyun didn't speak, and fell silent after listening, without even moving his lips.

The results of the final exam accounted for a large proportion of the comprehensive ranking. If Qiao Yan couldn't make it into the top [-] in the grade this time, he would probably have no hope of getting into the lab.

Maybe it's because he's used to such a noisy roommate, and it's convenient to get along with Qiao Yan on a daily basis. Zhou Xiyun really doesn't want Qiao Yan to be demoted to the fast class, and doesn't want to be separated.

One semester is only half a year, and there are still two and a half years left, who can say what will happen after that.

Zhou Xiyun didn't understand what was wrong with him, why he had such high expectations for Qiao Yan - Qiao Yan's grades had always been in the middle, and he was going to be admitted to the top [-] of his grade, unless the sun came out from the west and the students in the front row were all the same. Most of them didn't perform well.

Unfortunately, this is almost impossible and unrealistic.

Zhou Xiyun was a little confused, he was not in the mood to listen to the class meeting, he didn't pay attention to what the teacher said above, and he was still in a trance when it was time to end.

It was Qiao Yan who patted her on the shoulder and asked curiously, "What are you thinking about? You didn't answer after calling several times?"

She regained her senses and said in a perfunctory voice, "I'm thinking about something."

Qiao Yan sighed: "Students are different. They can still recall... I can't even remember what questions I did. I forgot all of them as soon as I came out."

Zhou Xiyun still didn't respond, but collected his expression, silently tidied up the table, put everything in the bag, and picked up the books and carried them away.

They have to move these things back to the dormitory, so that they may change classes/dorms next semester, so as not to drop them.

Qiao Yan also put all the books in the cardboard box with all his might, and while following Zhou Xiyun, he smiled and greeted the acquaintances he met on the road.

Back in the dormitory, Qiao Yan bid farewell to Ma Jiao and the others ahead of time. She felt that she should not be able to stay in the next semester, so she hugged the other two roommates very reluctantly.

Ma Jiao and the others knew Qiao Yan's achievements in the past, and felt that she couldn't stay, so they both said a few heartfelt words, to the effect that if they couldn't be in the same class, let Qiao Yan come over to play with them often in the future, and it would be fine to read and study together. During the monthly vacation, you can also make appointments to go shopping and so on.

Qiao Yan readily agreed, and promised: "I'll see you again when I get back from school, and I'll bring you delicious food then."

Ma Jiao and the others said, "Thank you."

Zhou Xiyun stood silently on the side, did not express any opinions from the beginning to the end, and tidied up the cabinet without saying a word.

Perhaps sensing the slight change in her mood, Qiao Yan pretended not to glance over here, pretended to be strange, cleared his throat, and coughed twice.

Zhou Xiyun didn't respond and ignored him.

After leaving the dormitory together, Qiao Yan leaned up against her shoulder for the first time on the way out of the school gate, insisting on pushing against her body, and asked tentatively in a low voice, "I'm angry, what's wrong with you?"

Zhou Xiyun denied, "No."

But his face remained unchanged, without much fluctuation.

Qiao Yan tilted her head and stared at her as she walked, trying to get a thorough look.Thinking back to when she asked herself if she performed well, Qiao Yan pondered for a while, and then asked, "Did you fail the exam this time?"

Zhou Xiyun didn't want to speak, but shook his head.

Seeing that she didn't even say a word now, Qiao Yan was even more convinced that this must be the case, but she was too embarrassed to admit it.

Qiao Yan seldom feels sad because of poor exams, unless she is being scolded by her elders, so she can't understand Zhou Xiyun's thoughts, but she tries to comfort her with a few words, so that she can relax. Three is also a novel experience, you can try harder next time.

Once Broken Zuizi opened his mouth, he would go on and on, and he would never stop chattering, chattering about a lot of things.

Zhou Xiyun couldn't bear to listen, and wanted to refute and tell him to shut up, but he couldn't speak out after all.

When it was time to get in the car, Zhou Xiyun was still reticent and barely talked.

Qiao Yan saw that she was like this after the exam, and she was still very worried later, for fear that she would do something extreme if she couldn't figure it out.

High school is very competitive, and students are under a lot of pressure. There are still many people who can't think about it because of repeated grade drops. Last year, there were two people who attempted to jump off a building in No. [-] Middle School, and one committed suicide by throwing himself into a lake.

Not only was she worried in the car, but when she returned to the Xijing compound, Qiao Yan also had the cheek to stay at Zhou's house and secretly watched Zhou Xiyun's every move.

Zhou Xiyun was upset, but he knew what he was doing, so he didn't say anything.

That winter vacation lasted a full 28 days, which was a long time.

There will be no class placement results during the first middle school holiday, and the specific ranking will not be announced for the time being. The notice will be posted on the bulletin board on the first day of school, and the news will be sent to the parents' mobile phones.

Zhou Xiyun felt that the torment was getting longer and longer every day.

In the middle of the vacation, Zhou Xiyun called the class teacher alone, wanting to ask about the ranking.

The homeroom teacher didn't know about this either, and hadn't received the school rankings yet, so he only knew who the top ten students were in this year's grade.

Unsurprisingly, Zhou Xiyun was firmly in the first place. He lost more than 146 points to the second grade in his grade. He was just short of a full score in physics, a perfect score in mathematics, 140 in English, and a super high score of [-] in Chinese.

The teacher in charge was all smiles on the other side of the phone, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears. He kept praising her, talked a lot about her studies, and asked her if she wanted to go to a domestic school or study abroad. If she was a domestic student, she would definitely choose Qingbei Now, what can be considered abroad, and ask her if she knows what kind of preparations should be made for studying abroad.

Zhou Xiyun didn't want to talk about this, so he reluctantly listened for a few minutes, answered two questions casually, and asked Qiao Yan's grades directly.

The teacher in charge checked and mentioned Qiao Yan's score, saying it was not bad, but the school's ranking is not clear.

Qiao Yan's performance this time is not bad, neither good nor bad, and he can be ranked in the middle and lower positions in the class.

Not last but not too far behind.

Ninth from the bottom, No. 30 in the positive counting class.Grade unknown.

The teacher in charge was quite surprised by the results this time, and said: "It's just that you have passed the test. The others are not so good, and most of them are far worse than usual."

You must know that Qiao Yan is usually the last one in the class, and he can be ranked last in the three experimental classes. You can only solve basic problems, but you can't distinguish the levels of difficult problems, so you don't know how to do them.

The polarization among students is very likely to have a greater impact on the final class placement.

Zhou Xiyun politely asked how many people in the class could stay and which ones would be separated.

The head teacher said: "The top 150 should be able to stay, but the latter may not be. Some of the fast classes should be promoted, and there should be about ten parallel classes. The school means that the approximate number of people in each class will remain the same next semester. , the three experimental classes add up to no more than [-] ten people, and this number will fluctuate."

Their current experimental class has expanded its enrollment. In the past, it was a small class with less than 35 students, and it has only been expanded to 45 students since then.

The head teacher couldn't give an accurate answer, so he could only make an estimate.

Zhou Xiyun also wanted to ask about the grades of the other two classes, and wanted to know Qiao Yan's overall ranking in the three experimental classes, but the class teacher didn't have the grades of the class next door, so there was nothing he could do.

The homeroom teacher didn't understand why Zhou Xiyun wanted to know the rankings of the other two classes. He thought she wanted to compare, so he smiled and said a few words on the phone to reassure her.

Zhou Xiyun's other students are beyond reach, and there is no one who can compare with her.

Zhou Xiyun hesitated to speak, he didn't care how much he took the exam, he only cared about the one in the opposite house.

But to the class teacher, she still didn't make it clear that she couldn't say those words, said something like "I'm in trouble" and hung up.

That night, as well as the next few days, Zhou Xiyun was thinking about this matter at night, and repeatedly took out his previous grades and rankings to calculate whether someone would have a chance to stay in the experimental class.

During this period of time, the person concerned didn't worry about his score at all, not to mention how much fun he had all day long.

Qiao Yan thought he was good enough, and his mood was very sunny.

The elders of the Qiao family also didn't have too high demands on Qiao Yan, and they got used to it. Xu Ziqing was quite satisfied with her daughter's performance and felt that she was better than expected. He was even more relieved to hear that Qiao Yan patted his chest to ensure that he could enter the fast class.

It’s okay to be able to enter the fast class, and maybe I can pass the 985/211 exam in the future, which is almost an undergraduate. If it’s not good enough, I can always go to university.

Zhou Xiyun didn't understand himself, he didn't understand what he was worrying about, the emperor really wasn't in a hurry and the eunuchs were in a hurry...

Seeing that Qiao Yan was so playful, Zhou Xiyun's chest was congested, and his face turned ugly.

Qiao Yan didn't even realize it. When she returned to the second floor of Zhou's house, she would lie on her bed stretched out on her back. She didn't take off her shoes. One of her long legs was stretched out by the bed, and the other was put down. , Grandpa is not in good health recently, and Song Xinyu is related.

The Song family seems to be going out to do business, and Song Xinyu will also go abroad to study at that time, maybe in the next two years or so.

Qiao Yan looked at the ceiling, sighed, and said sadly, "Sister Xinyu has good grades, but she's not an immigrant, so why don't she stay in China? Others from her family can go out. She's here for college. OK..."

Zhou Xiyun didn't know about this, heard the sound, and frowned.

In fact, two years ago, the Zhou family also planned to send Zhou Xiyun to study abroad, thinking that he would go out as soon as possible so that he might not be able to adapt to the foreign environment when he was older, but this idea was blocked by Grandpa Zhou and he did not allow it.

Grandpa Zhou had some concerns, fearing that Zhou Xiyun would be too young to be determined, and would be too young to go out and learn bad things. He also felt distressed that the child would not be able to take care of himself, so he insisted that Zhou Xiyun must go to university in China, and he could only go abroad after a bachelor's degree.At that time, Zhou Huiwen couldn't hold back Grandpa Zhou, and Zhou Xiyun intended to go abroad without high school, so he gave up.

The Qiao family also heard about this, but Qiao Yan's reaction at that time was not like this, it was not a little bit worse.

A certain person was not reluctant to part with Zhou Xiyun, and even insisted that "go as soon as you go", "go wherever you like", following Zhou Xiyun's will.

Zhou Xiyun was a little annoyed, and the irritability in his heart was even worse.

After realizing that something was wrong with her, Qiao Yan asked at a loss, "What's wrong, who messed with you again today?"

Zhou Xiyun gritted his molars, held back his temper, and said calmly, "No one messed with me."

Qiao Yan snorted, "I thought you were unhappy."

Zhou Xiyun's mouth was stiff, and he said angrily, "You think you're wrong."

Seeing something strange about her, Qiao Yan touched his nose and rubbed his ears. Knowing that he had guessed right, he muttered softly, "...it's strange."

Zhou Xiyun turned around and went to the table to flip through the book, ignoring it with his back turned.

Qiao Yan approached after a while, slowly moved her buttocks, stood up with difficulty, stretched out her hand to grab the corner of her clothes, and pulled it down carefully.

As if he didn't feel it, Zhou Xiyun buried his head in opening the notebook and pressed out the ballpoint pen.

Qiao Yan was annoying, so she pulled harder, leaned forward and stretched her neck, leaned over to look up at Zhou Xiyun's face, and poked her waist with the tip of her index finger, once, twice...

Seriously concerned: "Hey, what's going on, did you quarrel with Aunt Zhou this morning?"

Zhou Xiyun opened Qiao Yan's hand, ungrateful.

"No noise."

Qiao Yan asked: "Then why are you like this? When I talk to you, I ignore people. What did I say wrong?"

Zhou Xiyun said stiffly, "No, you are right."

Hearing this was not right, Qiao Yan crawled forward again on hands and feet, grabbed her sleeve again, and hurriedly coaxed her.

Zhou Xiyun pushed her away and took a half step to one side, not letting her touch her.

My heart feels tight and astringent, confused, a little angry, a little uncomfortable, I don't know what I am angry with, and I don't know what I am sour...

Zhou Xiyun picked up the book and put it in his arms, gave up the room to the other party, and planned to go to the study downstairs, saying: "I'm going to study, if you want to go, go by yourself, don't talk anymore."

After saying that, he turned around and left the room.

Qiao Yan who was behind was kept in the dark, unable to understand her thoughts at all, only heard that she was talking ironically, sat up and hurriedly followed, chasing after her step by step.

Zhou Xiyun walked forward and said cruelly, "Don't disturb me."

Qiao Yan said, "I didn't bother you."

Zhou Xiyun: "Then don't follow."

Qiao Yan opened his eyes and said nonsense, "I'm going downstairs too."

Zhou Xiyun remained silent, and turned sideways to get out of the stairs.

Qiao Yan didn't go first, but followed behind.

Obviously follow, not also go downstairs.

Zhou Xiyun had long legs and big strides, and he turned into the study on the first floor within a short time, and had to close the door after entering.

Qiao Yan stopped her and forced her way in, catching her and asking for an explanation.

There's nothing else to say, Zhou Xiyun said straightforwardly: "Song Xinyu is leaving, you should go find her sooner."

Qiao Yan said: "Speak clearly, what does our matter have to do with Sister Xin Yu, what's wrong with me, you're like this all of a sudden."

Zhou Xiyun didn't admit it, even though he was about to be exposed, he still didn't let go.

"Stop talking nonsense."

Qiao Yan said bluntly: "Zhou Xiyun, you are just doing it, you are so hypocritical, and obviously no one offends you."

She suffocated her whole body, and forced herself to ask, "Who are you calling hypocritical?"

"It's just the two of us here, who else is there?" Qiao Yan asked back, as if he didn't think it was a big deal, always adding fuel to the fire, "Could it be me?"

It was the first time Zhou Xiyun said something ugly: "Ghost knows."

Qiao Yan followed suit: "Yes, the ghost knows, the ghost in front of me knows."

Zhou Xiyun became angry, and pushed her away, "Don't come in, can't you hear me, go out, I want to read a book."

Qiao Yan was upright and confident, and when he was excited, he would mix in a dialect accent, and he didn't know where he learned the saying: "I can't hear, my ears are deaf, and the artillery fire is deaf."

The two pushed and shoved a few times without retreating from each other.

Zhou Xiyun wasn't used to arguing with others, he couldn't do Qiao Yan, and he couldn't quarrel.

After a while, the eyes were also a little rosy and slightly wet.

Qiao Yan suddenly said, "You just can't understand Sister Xinyu, you have a problem with her, and you don't want me to be with her."

Those words were so straightforward that they didn't even have to think about it, and they blurted out immediately, but their brains broke through the long-standing awkward conflict between the two.

Zhou Xiyun stopped immediately and froze in place.

The girl's face was thinner than paper, and it was as if she had been stripped of her disguise on the spot, and everything was exposed.Her face turned even redder, which was different from the redness of anger, with some unclear embarrassment and embarrassment, as well as the embarrassment of being seen through.

Her mind went blank for a second or two, and the whole world seemed to stop spinning. Zhou Xiyun opened her mouth, but couldn't make a sound. After a while, the blood that rushed to the top of her head slowed down a little, and she subconsciously defended herself, saying in a deep voice: " What are you talking about?!"

Qiao Yan is a straightforward person, and the gas tank will light up immediately.Qiao Yan was not afraid of her, and insisted on breaking ground on Tai Sui's head. Seeing that she was about to collapse, she still didn't give in, and said again loudly: "You don't like Sister Xinyu, and you don't want me to get close to her. You are angry, so throw your fire on me Come on, implicate me!"

Zhou Xiyun tensed his body, his lips were almost pursed into a thin straight line.

Qiao Yan also said: "You have had a bad temper since you were a child, and you don't like Miss Xin Yu, you have always been."

As if there was no way to continue to hide it, and it would be exposed at any time, Zhou Xiyun put his hand away, and after a while, unable to restrain himself anymore, he spat out the sentence he said before: "Qiao Yan, are you sick..."
