"You're welcome, you're welcome..."
Aunt Liang sat next to Mei Fang and asked softly, "Yuanyuan and Youxi had a quarrel today, right?"
"yes……"
Mei Fang nodded, "But we should be able to reconcile now."
"It's good to be able to reconcile..."
Liang Meijuan smiled and said, "Although I didn't see you grow up, I can feel that you two have a very good relationship. It would be great if it could always be this good."
"Well...I'll try my best, Auntie."
"Afang, thank you for your hard work."
"Wei Xi is sensible and obedient, but sometimes she is very introverted and keeps things to herself. I can only ensure that she is well fed, clothed and taken care of, but for the rest, I can only count on Yuanyuan and you... especially you."
"Haha... I'm not that great."
Mei Fang scratched his head embarrassedly. "Our friendship must be maintained by all three of us. If I'm alone, I can't do anything."
"That's true..."
Liang Meijuan stood up and wiped her hands. "Then wait for Yuanyuan and Youxi to make up. If you are tired, you can lie down on the sofa for a while. Auntie will go to work first."
"Okay auntie."
As soon as Mei Fang waited for Aunt Liang to leave, she fell headfirst onto the sofa.
Phew... I'm so exhausted today.
It had been an incredibly long day.
I don’t know how these two girls were chatting.
I hope we won't end up quarreling again while chatting, haha...
Well...probably not.
I already want to apologize to each other.
Although I played a role in bringing the couple together, both people must first care about each other. I was just giving them a push forward.
Make peace with each other soon...you two silly girls.
call……
Mei Fang kept thinking about things and soon fell into a deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi walked out of the room.
There were traces of tears on their faces, and a faint smile.
They came out hand in hand.
When they went downstairs and saw Mei Fang sleeping on the sofa, Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi became more cautious.
They tiptoed to the sofa where Mei Fang was. Youxi sat on the side of the sofa, and Xia Yuan sat on another sofa. She held her chin with her hand and looked at Mei Fang, then poked Mei Fang's cheek playfully.
"He sleeps soundly."
"Um……"
Lin Youxi nodded. "I think Ah Fang must be sadder than us today after seeing us quarreling."
"Yes……"
Xia Yuan placed her hand on the side of Mei Fang's cheek and looked at him with tenderness.
"We can't let him be so sad in the future..."
"Ah."
Lin Youxi also put her hand on Mei Fang's chest, her eyes moving with joy.
She loved feeling Mei Fang's heartbeat.
"By the way, Youxi, I have an idea about what we just talked about!"
Xia Yuan looked at Lin Youxi and said, "The three of us grew up together and are the best childhood sweethearts in the world, so let's not fight to the death for Ah Fang like in other novels or stories. That's not worth it, and it will make Ah Fang sad."
"So... let's not take our relationship with Ah Fang any further, and just stay childhood sweethearts forever."
"As for whether or not to develop into another relationship, when we grow up and reach the right age, let Ah Fang make his own choice. What do you think?"
Lin Youxi nodded, "Okay."
"But...I actually hope that Ah Fang will never choose."
"Is it always like this?"
Xia Yuan thought about it and laughed, "Indeed, that seems to be a good idea..."
"Then it's a deal?"
Xia Yuan stretched out her little finger to Lin Youxi, and seeing this, Lin Youxi also stretched out her little finger tacitly.
Xia Yuan also pulled up Mei Fang's hand, and the two of them hooked their hands around his drooping little fingers.
"Pin it up, hang yourself, for a hundred years, no change—"
The two of them spoke in very quiet voices about the most sincere words of their childhood promise.
But this action also gradually woke up Mei Fang who was sleeping soundly.
His eyes moved, and then he struggled to rub his eyes. Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi were so scared that their faces turned red and they quickly stood at attention.
Then Mei Fang got up from the sofa. Half asleep, he saw Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi standing in front of him hand in hand.
"Am I dreaming?"
"No no!"
Mei Fang felt that he had a good sleep, but he was still a little grumpy when he woke up.
"So... you two have reconciled?"
"It's all right, it's all right!"
Xia Yuan and Lin Youxi held hands and hugged each other, "Look, we are no longer quarreling."
"..."
Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan, "What about the science experimental class?"
Xia Yuan shook his head. "I'll listen to you and Youxi and not apply for the science experimental class. I really can't like physics, and I probably won't like it even more in high school. I'd better study liberal arts."
"That's fine……"
Mei Fang nodded, and then said to Youxi, "Youxi, we won't take the science experimental class anymore."
Lin Youxi's eyes showed a trace of astonishment, and Xia Yuan shook his head frantically, "This is not right! You can't lower your level for me... I don't force myself to be in the same class with you now, really, you don't have to study liberal arts for me... I will still blame myself if I do that..."
"Not taking the science experimental class doesn't mean I intend to accommodate you."
Mei Fang said seriously, "I have thought about this carefully these past few days. I think we don't need to be constrained by the perspective of this small county. We shouldn't fight so hard for Baimei No. 1 Middle School. To be honest, this school is only strong in science. It is difficult for liberal arts students to succeed. Even if Yuanyuan studies liberal arts in this school, she won't have a good development."
"So Ah Fang, what you mean is——"
"Based on our strength, our goal can be to become a school with stronger faculty and more comprehensiveness. This way, Yuanyuan, you don't have to focus too much on physics in the exam, and you can also play to your strengths and advantages in the humanities."
Mei Fang's words brightened the two little ones' confused eyes.
"Baizhou High School in Baizhou and Jiangcheng Normal School Affiliated to Jiangcheng are the top high schools in Chubei Province. They are among the top eight schools in the alliance and are the top high schools that we can currently access and are more suitable for the goals we are striving for."
Chapter 118: College Entrance Examination
The Baigao (Baizhou Middle School) and the Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 Affiliated Middle School mentioned by Mei Fang are the two top high schools in Chubei Province. They belong to the famous Eight Schools Alliance in Chubei Province. This is a higher level that Mei Fang and his colleagues in Baimei County can reach.
Baigao is the most famous middle school in Baizhou City, the upper division of Baimei County. It was once known as "South Bai and North Shui" together with Hengshui Middle School in the north. It is famous for its abundant Baizhou secret scrolls.
But by 2010, it had actually begun to decline, and its influence was gradually overshadowed by other schools in the Group of Eight.
Of course, a lean camel is bigger than a horse. The fame and influence of Baizhou Middle School are incomparable to Baimei No. 1 High School, a key high school in the county. Mei Fang and his classmates have a total of two chances to prepare for the entrance exam to Baimei High School.
The first one was the pre-admission test two months before the high school entrance examination. Although Baigao was a school famous for its Mathematical Olympiad, its liberal arts faculty was not weak, and the subjects of the pre-admission test were divided into Chinese, mathematics, and English + liberal arts/science. If you got good grades in the pre-admission test, you could go directly to Baigao. Taking the liberal arts test and avoiding physics was very beneficial for Yuanyuan.
The second chance is in the high school entrance examination. As mentioned before, the high school entrance examination is conducted on a city basis, and Baimei County belongs to Baizhou City. Mei Fang and his classmates are also the source of students for Baigao High School.
Then, as long as Mei Fang achieves good results in the high school entrance examination, he can be directly admitted to Baigao.
As for the No. 3 Normal School Affiliated to Jiangcheng, which is farther away from Mei Fang and his team, the source of students is basically local students from Jiangcheng. The application channels for students from other parts of the province are opened around March to April. They can apply through special county students and obtain a good ranking in the independent enrollment examination of the No. 4 Normal School Affiliated to Jiangcheng, and then be admitted on a merit basis.
But for Xia Yuan, to enter Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1, she has another way to enter: that is to take the path of a county student + a student with artistic specialties. This path not only requires taking an art-specific test, but the art-specific test includes four modules: instrumental music, vocal music, performance and dance.
In addition, she also needs to take cultural course tests, and will be ranked according to her scores. It should be noted that this is an art specialty student, not an art student.
But no matter whether they are students with artistic talents or students who go directly to the county for specialization, both will be mixed into international classes or parallel classes. There are no special art classes.
Students with artistic talents in music must study music from 4:00 to 5:30 every afternoon. If they can balance the study of cultural subjects and do not fall behind too much, they will have the opportunity to be directly recommended to take the examination for artistic talents in key universities, which means that Qinghua University also has a chance.
Mei Fang believes that this path is very suitable for Xia Yuan, because it does not mean that Xia Yuan must enter the entertainment industry or apply to an art school.
At least Xia Yuan's academic performance was not bad, and could even be said to be outstanding. She had enough space to choose her own future instead of stuck in a science experimental class that was totally unsuitable for her.
After Mei Fang's explanation and asking her mother and others, Xia Yuan has developed a strong interest in these two schools, especially Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 Affiliated High School. The pain of physics is no longer a big deal to her.
The three of them discussed their future life plans in Meifang. It is not easy to convince their parents to leave their hometown, and they hope to be fully prepared before discussing it with their parents.
"Afang, Afang...so are we going to apply to both schools?"
"I have read the previous years' enrollment brochures of Jiangcheng Normal University No.3 Affiliated High School and Baigao High School. The independent enrollment examination of Jiangcheng Normal University No.4 Affiliated High School is in March next year, while that of Baigao High School is in mid-April. There is no conflict between the two, so I can try both."
Xia Yuan covered his head and thought about it, revealing a distressed expression: "It seems that the independent enrollment examination for county students of Jiangcheng Normal University No. 1 only tests Chinese, mathematics and English. That should be very difficult! Students from our small county will definitely be suppressed..."
Xia Yuan said as he cheered up again, "However, let's not talk about Chinese and English. I am quite confident in math. It won't be as tormenting as physics."
"Yuanyuan, instead of going directly to the specialized county students... have you considered the students with artistic talents?"
Xia Yuan nodded, "I've also learned that their music students are divided into majors. The professional instruments I've learned include violin, clarinet, and flute."
"I can also apply for dance and vocal music, but I think the competition is even more intense than violin. Of course, my favorite is piano, but it seems that there is no such major..."
"Huh... Although it's probably not easy to pass the art specialty exam for Jiangcheng Normal University, you've learned a lot!"
"But I haven't practiced for a long time. The violin should be fine, but it will probably take me a while to learn the clarinet and flute again."
