Chapter 378 Goodbye
“Yangzhi.”

Zhang Yan stood at the door of the classroom and knocked.

“arrive.”

Yang Zhi responded, put down the pen in his hand and stood up.

“You come with me.”

“…”

Yang Zhi jumped off the chair and disappeared in front of the classroom door under the gaze of his classmates.

Following the teacher slowly, Yang Zhi didn’t pay attention to what she was saying, but just nodded subconsciously in response.

Through the windows of the corridor, you can see the birch trees surrounding the center of the building.

It is said that this birch tree was just a small sapling when the school was built. It is now thirty years old and has long since grown taller than the four-story teaching building.

No. 3 Middle School is not far from the embankment of Ping River and far away from the city center, so you rarely hear car horns.

Perhaps because she hated the whole thing about the school, Yang Zhi didn’t like her high school life and had no good feelings about anything around the school.

Every time after school, there are a bunch of crowded snack stalls across the street from the school, and the smoke is choking.

There are also many Internet cafes and game rooms, and you can often see street urchins with colorfully dyed hair wandering around.

Teachers would warn students who sneak into Internet cafes to play games every now and then. Once caught by the teachers, the parents would be called at the very least, and at the worst, they would be punished.

Yang Zhi’s thoughts were easily influenced by the outside world. She often heard the teacher repeating the same thing over and over again, and she became annoyed with the students in the class who talked about games all day long.

But my own brother is definitely different. He is so capable and he plays games just for fun. Even if he goes to the Internet cafe, it is definitely for his career.

For students who have already graduated, there is a very deep filter in the eyes of teachers. No matter what mistakes they have made, teachers will just laugh it off.

Like Xu Mingyuan creating a classmate website, in the eyes of teachers, it will definitely be promoted extensively, not only to enhance students’ enthusiasm, but also to bring honor to the teachers.

The teacher often used Xu Mingyuan as an example in his lectures, saying things like studying until late at night or reading before dawn. Even Yang Zhi found it outrageous.

When did my brother become so fond of studying? It’s rare that he can force himself to study until 10 o’clock…

If he really loved studying so much, the teacher would have invited him to give a few speeches in class, setting an example for his classmates and encouraging them to learn from him.

Why not? I am afraid that he will remove the filter given by the teacher in just a few words.

Because Yang Zhi had heard that her brother’s most hated teacher when he first entered high school was Zhang Yan. He often went against her and even handed in a blank paper in the Chinese exam.

But some things the teacher said about Xu Mingyuan were not true. His brother not only created a classmate network, but his family was not well off and had fallen to the point of setting up stalls to earn a living.

However, Yang Zhi did not defend Xu Mingyuan. She agreed with whatever the teacher said. When her classmates asked her about it, she did not say a word, which was regarded as their tacit agreement.

It’s good enough that you can meet my brother once, but you still want to get to know him? That’s absolutely impossible…

In the office, teachers of various subjects reminded Yang Zhi about the preparations he should make before the college entrance examination.

In fact, there is nothing much to say, it is nothing more than finding the examination room and not forgetting to bring the admission ticket and other things. Candidates in Yangzhi’s class do not need to fill in the pre-exam application like Xu Mingyuan, saving a lot of extra costs.

What surprised Yang Zhi was that the teacher not only did not remind her of the seriousness of the examination room, but also told her not to be so cautious. If she encountered questions she didn’t know how to answer, she could sneak a peek at the candidates sitting next to her and it would be a good thing if she could copy them.

This was something Yang Zhi had never heard before. After all, the teacher often said, “You are copying the answers to fool yourself! Can you still copy in the college entrance examination?”

It turns out that you can really think of a way to cheat on the college entrance examination…

“Okay, Yangzhi, you go back first. Your brother called and told you not to come tomorrow. Go prepare for the college entrance exam. I’m honored to be able to teach you two…”

Zhang Yan talked a lot.

As a teacher, the easiest interpersonal relationships to build are with students you have taught.

For students like Xu Mingyuan and Yang Zhi, the teacher really didn’t care about the gifts given, but hoped to establish a good teacher-student relationship in the future, so that if anything happened in the future, he could ask them for help.

“Thank you, teacher……”

Yang Zhi put away the admission ticket and said hello to the teachers of each subject.

Her teacher did not publicize the fact that she was going to take the college entrance examination early, but there were always rumors that it came out.

When she returned to the classroom, she immediately caused a small commotion.

“Yang Zhi, are you going to take the college entrance examination?”

A classmate sitting two seats away called her in a low voice.

“…”

Yang Zhi frowned and pretended not to hear.

She just wanted to come quietly and leave quietly without taking away a cloud.

After the class division in the second year of high school, many classmates were not as familiar as those in the first year. This made Yang Zhi, who rarely talked to others, even more reluctant to speak.

The student who asked the question went back angrily and went to talk to his deskmate.

She is beautiful, quiet, and very good at studying. If a person is too outstanding, even her classmates will not feel jealous.

In fact, Zhang Yan, the head teacher, speaks quite harshly. When criticizing students, she likes to use sarcasm and irony to induce inferiority complex in students.

Xu Mingyuan was invisible and intangible. Occasionally, he would be seen coming to pick up Yang Zhi, but no one had much idea of ​​what kind of person he was.

But Yang Zhi was different. When Zhang Yan criticized students, she often used her as an example.

When it comes to boys who don’t study, teachers often say, “Who in your family can compare to Yang Zhi? Don’t you know what your father does? Yang Zhi is studying hard, how dare you!” Girls are even worse off. Teachers are never merciful and will say bluntly, “You are not as pretty as others. You keep nagging and gossiping all day long. It’s better for you to focus on studying. Look at the way you look. No one will want you even if you become a mistress…”

The little girl was thin-skinned and couldn’t stop crying when she was singled out and scolded.

Every time Yang Zhi heard such words, her pretty eyebrows would twist into a knot.

It wasn’t because she was always thinking about hooking up with Xu Mingyuan. After all, in Yang Zhi’s heart, she had known him for such a long time, so Tao Shuxin who suddenly appeared was the mistress…

The main reason was that Yang Zhi didn’t want excessive attention. Every time the teacher said something like this, a group of audiences would gather.

There are so many vulgar people.

No one can be like my brother, who likes me not because of my appearance, but because of my personality…

Although appearance plays a big role, my brother is the only one who would dig into my little thoughts, while none of the others would come to look.

Of course, how could the boys dare to easily offend a girl like Yang Zhi who is so closed-minded?

As for the college entrance examination, Yang Zhi had actually prepared well and did not feel any pressure at all, because even if she failed, her brother would let her study as a transfer student.

Moreover, my teacher and my brother both said that I should keep a good attitude before the college entrance examination and I don’t need to study too hard. Otherwise, I might get more and more confused the more I read and the less confident I would be when I do the questions. It would be better to relax for a few days and face the college entrance examination with full spirit.

But Yang Zhi suddenly felt a little confused. For a high school student like her, compulsory education does not just end at the end of junior high school, but at the end of high school.

Yang Zhi didn’t think there was anything wrong with the hasty decision to take the college entrance examination early, but when she really had to face it, she couldn’t help feeling a little nervous.

This was certainly not because of the exam, but because Yang Zhi had put in so many years of hard work and suddenly gave up.

Thinking that he probably wouldn’t have to read all day like he did now, Yang Zhi, who had long been accustomed to doing things step by step, always felt empty inside.

During the afternoon’s self-study class, Yang Zhi didn’t do his homework, but just stared at the book in a daze.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to write, but the teacher doesn’t allow her to write anymore.

Yang Zhi, with nothing to do, could only stare blankly.

Yang Zhi, who once dreamed of being able to daydream in peace, suddenly had the opportunity, but she did not feel as comfortable as she had imagined.

Maybe it’s just like my brother said, people are more or less a bit mean, and stolen watermelons taste the best. If you really buy one and eat it whole, you won’t be able to find the original taste.

As a human being, desires are always insatiable. Yang Zhi, who could now be free from worry and daydream, wanted her brother to accompany her in a daze, perhaps this would satisfy her…

After class, Yang Zhi casually said a few words to dismiss the classmates who wanted to talk to her, and continued to stare blankly at the textbook.

When there was almost no one left in the class, Yang Zhi suddenly came to his senses and found that there were only a few people left in the classroom, including himself.

At this time, Yang Zhi also noticed that the wall clock above the blackboard had already pointed to five fifty. The classmates in the class went out to play or eat, as if everyone had forgotten her in the class.

Yang Zhi said “Oh no” inwardly and quickly packed up his textbooks.

“What are you daydreaming about, little girl?”

Xu Mingyuan, who had been waiting impatiently at the school gate, called Yang Zhi several times but no one answered. If he had not also called the teacher, he would have almost thought that something had happened to her.

Who would have thought that as soon as I entered the classroom, I saw Xiao Yangzhi and then remembered to pack my schoolbag.

“Brother, I’m sorry, I, I…”

Yang Zhi shrank his head and was too embarrassed to answer.

“What do you mean by ‘I’? It’s too late, have you got your admission ticket and ID card back?”

Xu Mingyuan didn’t care and helped her clean up the desk.

“Bring it back.”

Yang Zhi nodded and took out his ID from his pocket.

“Hey, it’s good to be pretty. Even your ID photo looks good.”

Xu Mingyuan looked at Yang Zhi’s ID card which he had just obtained and marveled at it.

“hey-hey……”

Yang Zhi didn’t know what was good about ID photos. Her forehead was bald, and even the hair at her temples was tucked up. When she took the photo, the light cast a shadow on her face, and she didn’t look white at all.

“Don’t want any junk anymore. Can schoolbags hold so many things? Hey, classmates, do you want exercise books or notebooks?” Xu Mingyuan asked the remaining people.

“what?”

“…”

The students who stayed in the class were stunned, not knowing what to answer.

But Yang Zhi didn’t want to give it away, so she stingily put all the notebooks into her bag and even put away the ruler and compass.

For Yang Zhi, there was nothing worth remembering during her entire high school career. She went to school every day just to complete her tasks.

And as Xu Mingyuan went to Jiangcheng, the two of them had very little time to see each other, and it felt even more difficult than the third year of junior high school.

Yang Zhi didn’t want to leave any traces and just wanted to leave the school as soon as possible.

Seeing Xiao Yangzhi’s useless look, Xu Mingyuan sighed and didn’t want to beat her anymore. He just said to her, “Go and say goodbye to your classmates.”

“Goodbye.”

Yang Zhi bowed slightly, and while his classmates were still in a daze, he put on his heavy schoolbag and pulled Xu Mingyuan away as if he was escaping.
