Chapter 21 You don't know anything, that's love!
At 5:30 p.m., the last class ended, and groups of students came out of the teaching building noisily.
According to the Education Bureau's notice requiring a reduction in academic burden, the school abolished the requirement for day students to attend evening self-study sessions last year. Therefore, most students, except for some boarding students, leave at the end of the afternoon.
Therefore, the huge campus will only be lively for a short time, and will soon become deserted.
Soon, a man and a woman appeared in the deserted campus.
It was Chen Chen and Lin Jianlu.
Because they didn't want to squeeze onto the crowded subway right after school, they made a pact early on to stay at school a little longer after school before leaving together.
The setting sun cast a dim golden light, and a long silhouette walked alone within it.
Yes, there were two shadows, one in front and one behind, but the loneliness emanating from the one in front was terrifyingly strong.
Lin Jianlu followed behind Chen Chen, scratching her head awkwardly.
This guy is so difficult to deal with. I never expected him to be this difficult after his breakup. She has already tried several times today. Before, when she was holding him and crying during the card draw, he kicked her away. Now, when she puts her arm around his shoulder and says a few words of comfort, he just throws her off.
Sigh, what a damn thing, fortunes really do change...
The two walked out of the school gate in silence, and then turned around and saw Cheng Xiuxiu standing quietly at the school gate.
She was holding a brand new winter vacation homework book in her hand.
—It seems like they went to the teacher's office to ask for it, how infuriating! That damn other people's kids! Doesn't this make us guys who can't even finish our winter break homework look even worse?
She looked down quietly, seemingly unaware of their arrival.
—It wasn't just an act of studying hard, how infuriating! Even right next to the main road, you can concentrate on studying as if nothing is around you. Don't you know how much psychological pressure the two of us are putting on you? The security guard at the gate is starting to look at us differently!
It wasn't until a car horn sounded that she looked up and saw a black Maybach slowly approaching. A faint smile appeared on her calm face.
—Complete defeat! Damn it, utterly and completely defeated! Rich, good-looking, and loves learning—how can I compare to him?!
Even without turning around, Lin Jianlu could already imagine what kind of look the gatekeeper would give them.
To be honest, she didn't really care what the security guard thought of them. After all, the security guard saw many students, including those involved in fights and abortions. What did they amount to?
What she really cared about was how Chen Chen would react after seeing Cheng Xiuxiu here.
She had just noticed that when Cheng Xiuxiu put down her book, she glanced in their direction, but quickly turned away and got into the car.
Immediately, the Maybach's engine started, emitting a pleasant roar, and gradually drove away from them.
So how will Chen Chen react now?
With this curiosity in mind, she turned her head.
"Oh my god!"
Although I was prepared to see this person make me feel emo, I never expected it to be this amazing.
His eyes were red, tears streamed down his face, and snot was almost dripping down to the corners of his mouth.
But he didn't wipe it; instead, he opened his mouth and spoke in a sorrowful voice:
"Things have changed... everything is over! I want to speak... but tears flow first!"
Damn it, you're even reciting poetry now, aren't you!
It seems he wasn't too heartbroken; I think a good beating would have been enough to make him feel better.
"Get out of here, you disgrace!"
As she spoke, she pulled Chen Chen across the street.
……
If you leave a little later, the subway won't be so crowded, and you might even be lucky enough to get a seat.
But there is only one.
Seeing how heartbroken Chen Chen was today, Lin Jianlu didn't try to take his seat but let him sit down instead.
Then she noticed that after wiping away his tears and snot, he actually took out a winter vacation homework book to look at.
Why have you suddenly stopped looking at your phone?
This time, Chen Chen didn't remain silent. Instead, he looked up at her, his eyes brimming with tears, his voice trembling with sobs:
"Xiuxiu is watching too..."
Damn it, she didn't want to be with him anymore; it was too embarrassing!
Lin Jianlu quietly moved a few feet away, afraid that others would notice that the two of them knew each other.
The subway rumbled along, and she lowered her brows, silently watching Chen Chen, who was holding a winter break homework book, though she couldn't tell if he was even looking at it.
She still hoped he would take a look; after all, no matter how complicated other things were, for a student, studying was the main thing.
Since it was the first day of school and most teachers had not yet returned, Chen Chen was not called to the office for a scolding. However, given his dismal grades in his three minor subjects, this was bound to happen sooner or later.
To be fair, this was the first time Lin Jianlu had heard about Chen Chen's final exam results. For various reasons, he had never told her before, which made her think that his grades were terrible. But she didn't expect that after hearing the teacher say it today, they seemed to be pretty good.
His three minor subjects were indeed weak, but his three main subjects were surprisingly good, with none of them scoring below 100, especially his foreign language, which seemed quite good.
No wonder the system predicted that he could get into the same university as her. She had thought that he would at most barely get into a bachelor's program.
Oh right, I forgot to mention that the three minor subjects in Shanghai are now scored using a grading system. The full score for the college entrance examination is 70 points, divided into eleven levels, with the lowest level being 40 points. Each level differs by three points, and the score is then converted into different levels based on the ranking of the test paper.
This means that as long as you take the exam, don't cheat, and don't submit a blank paper, you will get at least 40 points in the three minor subjects, which will give you a total of 120 basic points. On the other hand, those who study hard and excel in the three minor subjects, even if they get full marks on the exam, can only get a maximum of 70 points in the end, and can only lead by a maximum of 90 points in the three subjects combined.
Moreover, everyone will answer the three minor questions seriously, so in the end, there won't be a significant difference in performance.
Therefore, teachers don't pay much attention to the three minor subjects anymore; only those who excel in the three core subjects are truly considered strong.
Chen Chen is in this situation now. His grades are indeed not good, but they are obviously in the three minor subjects, not the three main subjects. This means that he can still improve if he puts in a little effort. That's why his homeroom teacher treated him that way today.
Therefore, this gave Lin Jianlu a small idea.
Although it felt a bit far-fetched, it seemed to align with her current interests, so it was worth trying.
When the subway arrived at the station, Lin Jianlu walked out of the station, unlocked the electric scooter in the parking lot, and sat on Chen Chen's back.
"Are you alright? You should be able to ride it."
"Yes, it's not like I've broken any arms or legs..."
With a buzzing sound, Chen Chen started the electric scooter.
"I feel like you've lost an arm or a leg."
Where?
"It's really not worth getting so upset over a girl I've only known for two days."
Chen Chen abruptly stopped the car, turned around and stared intently at the girl:
"You don't know anything! That's love!"
