48    What I think of

Gan Nian has been looking forward to it for a long time. After hearing what he said, he nodded like pounding garlic: "Okay."

He went to get the cake bag, untied the red ribbon tied on it, and a white cream cake covered with strawberries appeared in front of Gan Nian.

Wow, it’s so girlish. It looks like the kind that little girls like.

The cake Xu Huaishen bought was not very big, but the two of them must have eaten enough. Xu Huaishen helped her insert candles and then held it in front of her.

Gan Nian looked at the cake, and the light in her eyes was brighter by the candlelight.

"Niannian, happy 18th birthday."

Gan Nian nodded, clasped her hands together, "I want to make a wish."

She closed her eyes and many important people in her life appeared in her mind.

She hopes that the family can be safe and healthy and that everyone can be happy every day.

The most important thing is to be able to do well in the college entrance examination, and then... be with Xu Huaishen forever.

She opened her eyes and blew off the candle with a smile.

"Xu Huaishen, I'm so happy that you spent such an important birthday with me."

He touched her head, "I will be with you every birthday from now on."

"good."

Xu Huaishen cut her a piece of cake, Gan Nian took a bite of the cream, "It's so delicious..."

Seeing her little greedy cat look, he couldn't help but lower his head and lock her lips. The strong fragrance of milk spread between his lips, sweet to the bottom of his heart.

Gan Nian blushed and pushed him away, "I'm eating cake."

"Do you want to see the gift?"

“Can you watch it now?

!”

Xu Huaishen did not answer her, bent down and took the gift box up and put it in her arms.

She quickly unpacked the box and opened it, and was stunned.

It turned out to be a pair of dancing shoes.

"How could you give this..."

"I know you like dancing, didn't you lose your shoes last time?

I've always wanted to give you a new one."

Xu Huaishen looked at her eyes with a sincere tone, "If you like dancing, I will accompany you to pursue your dreams."

As long as it is what she wants to do, he will definitely support it unconditionally.

Gan Nian felt sour, "Actually, I never knew whether I could learn anything related to dance in the future.

Xu Huaishen, thank you, I like this gift very much."

He held her, "Just like it, don't be moved to cry, huh?"

"I didn't cry..."

In the end, the two of them each ate a small piece of cake, then packed the rest away, and prepared to take it back and share it with Hui Xiner and the others later.

The two of them got up and continued walking forward. After walking for a while, Gan Nian said he was going back to school.

"Xu Huaishen, what are your arrangements for tomorrow?"

"I can accompany you tomorrow morning, but I will take the bus back in the afternoon."

"It's okay, it's enough for a while."

Gan Nian hugged his arm and said happily: "We will have a long life in the future."

——

The monthly exam is coming after the National Day.

In this exam, Gan Nian's scores were still climbing up, reaching the 50th grade.

Gradually, many teachers changed their views on her. Even in physics classes, the physics teachers occasionally used her as positive textbooks.

Gan Nian held the agreement with Xu Huaishen in her heart, and worked silently to make a counterattack.

Every night, I stay up late and read until after twelve o'clock, whenever I feel dizzy when facing difficult problems, whenever I feel tired and irritable, and even want to give up, as soon as I think of Xu Huaishen, I comfort myself that every step of my efforts and every tear I swallow is a stepping stone to pave the future of their two people.

There are also many students who are as ordinary as her. They work hard in the fierce competition of thousands of troops crossing a single-plank bridge like the college entrance examination. In order not to disappoint their parents' expectations, to strive for a greater future, and to go to the school they like, everyone has dreams of big or small, and forge ahead.

The college entrance examination is a lonely road. No one can accompany you to the battlefield except you.

But behind you, there are many sustenances and hopes.

The first half of the senior year of high school is the provincial joint examination.

When Gan Nian heard the news, she was excited and nervous.

Because this means that what she and Xu Huaishen did was the same test paper and faced the same difficult questions. At that time, the province will be ranked uniformly and can better see their current situation.

Gan Nian is more serious than ever for this exam.

She hoped that she would get closer to him.

However, the results were not satisfactory.

Before the class meeting in the afternoon, Hui Xiner praised her: "Gan Nian, I heard that you have made progress in this exam again. The head teacher is still praising you with other teachers in the office!"

Gan Nian was shocked: "Really?

Isn’t it that the science and technology has not come out yet?”

"It seems that it has come out, and the head teacher will say it later."

Sure enough, during the class meeting, the head teacher opened the score form and was completely stunned when Gan Nian saw that his name was ranked third in the class.

No. 15 in the year.

Total score 603.

Although it is only 600 yuan, the test paper is very difficult, and the score is quite valuable.

It is also in the upper reaches of the province.

The head teacher performed Gan Nian again in front of the whole class: "Gan Nian's grades have been improving recently. I remember when she first came to No. 1 Middle School, she got less than 500. Now she has squeezed into the top 20 in the year.

This is not based on luck, but on the hard work of others.”

Lin Sheng was surrounded by envy: "Sister Nian is my eldest brother, awesome!"

After class, Gan Nian hurriedly sent a message to Xu Huaishen, and couldn't help but want to ask him how much he had taken the exam.

Her heart beats fast with her cell phone, and after a minute his message comes back: [683, where are you?

】

6,8,3…

Gan Nian's grades were 80% different from him, and she suddenly became deflated like a balloon was stabbed by a needle.

For a moment, all the happiness and surprises were gone, and she was still so bad in front of him.

Gan Nian went back to the past: [Congratulations! Mine is not very good.

】

On the one hand, she was really happy for him, and on the other hand, she was really sad for herself.

It turns out that it's still so far away from him.

Gan Nian said to Hui Xiner: "Xiner, you go to have a meal first, I have something to do at the moment."

"Okay, do you need me to bring you something?"

"No need to do it."

Walking downstairs, she pulled herself out of the crowd and walked towards the playground.

The information on the phone never came back. I guess something happened to Xu Huaishen. She put the phone in her schoolbag and looked up at the smoke-purple sunset covered the sky, dyeing a faint pink at the intersection of the mountains.

She sat alone in the stands of the playground, holding her chin and watching the people on the playground.

Some people are playing football, and students with special skills in sports are still training. Several people are holding English word books and reciting around the playground.

"Go to my mind—"

The male voice behind her called her back from the wandering god. Gan Nian turned her head and saw Song Liyan.

He held a basketball in his hand, sweat beads hanging on his forehead, and his eyes under his sharp eyebrows looked at her: "Don't you go to eat? You're sitting here alone."

Gan Nian shook her head, "I'm not very hungry."

He smiled rare and sat down beside her.
