Forgot to tell you I love you
"How come you always pretend to be deaf and dumb." Li Hui caught up with Wang Zhiqiao and pulled her back.
Wang Zijiao was silent, Li Huan raised her head and saw that Wang Zijiao's mouth was tightly pursed.
"What's wrong, the more you shout at him, the more he runs." Li Hui looked at Wang Zhiqiao and couldn't help but feel a little angry every time this happened. "If you keep doing this, I'll get mad."
Li Hui said that, Wang Zhiqiao finally raised his head and looked at Li Hui, "I..." Wang Zhiqiao looked at Li Hui with a worried expression.
"What's wrong?" Li Huan asked in puzzlement.
"It was just this morning that I finished the exam..." Wang Zhiqiao thought and thought, but still couldn't say it out loud, so he spoke to remind him.
"What happened this morning?"
Wang Zijiao looked at Li Huan's puzzled expression and felt a sense of relief in her heart. She actually knew that he should have seen it, but he didn't say anything, just pretending not to know. If she said more, it would be useless, and he wouldn't talk too much about it. Wang Zijiao forced a smile on her face. "Nothing's wrong, let's go!"
"En." Li Hui nodded, and the two walked away. Wang Zhiqiao still habitually walked behind Li Hui. Li Hui turned around to look at her, furrowed his brow, but didn't stop to wait for her like last time. He knew that if she wasn't willing, even if he forced her, she wouldn't follow his train of thought, and if he rushed her, she would run away.
Wang Zijiao followed closely behind Li Huan, her mind racing with thoughts. She hadn't expected to have another embarrassing incident on graduation day. How humiliating.
After leaving the school gate, Wang Zijiao and Li Miao simply exchanged a few greetings before going to find her father and returning to her aunt's home.
"Have you finished all your exams today?" Wang Zijiao's aunt asked her while chatting after dinner.
"No, there's still one more tomorrow." Wang Zijiao replied simply.
"Is it over after tomorrow's exam?" her aunt asked immediately.
"Alright."
"Ah! You're taking an exam, and your dad and mom are suffering with you every day too."
After being said by her aunt, Wang Zhiqiao began to be at a loss for words, now saying anything would not be right, letting her say sentimental words, she was not that kind of person, so she could only remain silent.
"Hey! You guys are not studying well, don't you feel ashamed of the money your parents earn by working hard from dawn till dusk? You really don't understand things." Her aunt began to lecture her, and Wang Zijiao was so annoyed that she wanted to leave immediately. If it weren't for the fact that she was her aunt, she would have turned against her long ago, how could she possibly listen to these words.
Everyone understands the truth, there's no need for her to say it, and she knows that too. So what she hates most is when there are many people around, always someone saying this or that, which makes her feel very uncomfortable.
"They also understand these principles, thinking that money probably falls from the sky all day. Who cares what adults are like..." Wang Zijiao's mother also joined in on this topic, and Wang Zijiao couldn't bear to stay there anymore, not wanting to listen to them, so she turned around and left."
Wang Zhihui returned to her room, lying on the bed with a thousand thoughts in her mind. Her tears flowed out uncontrollably. Parents always say that we don't understand their difficulties, but do they know our difficulties? What is considered being sensible? Must we be like those portrayed on TV, immediately shouldering a hoe and returning home to farm in order to be sensible? Students who study every day are at school, and when they return home, all they do is eat and sleep. Is it necessary for them to spend their free time washing clothes and cooking in order to be considered sensible?
I also have my own pain, but I don't want to make them sad, so I endure it and don't say anything. They think their world is always a clear sky, doesn't it ever rain?
They themselves know that they don't really want to let themselves be like this, but from time to time give themselves a wake-up call, telling themselves to study hard and not be uneducated, and not to let their own regrets be repeated in their children.
But the way they spoke made Wang Zijiao very sad, originally it was a heart that was already battered and bruised, how could it withstand such verbal stimulation, every small blow would leave deep scars.
Wang Zijiao hid her head under the quilt, secretly crying, and tears kept flowing down before she could wipe them away. She had completely given up, letting the tears flow from the corners of her eyes, down her temples, into her hair, and disappear. Wang Zijiao didn't know when she fell asleep, only remembering that she was still crying. She was woken up by her mother, who reminded her that there was an exam today. Without thinking much, Wang Zijiao quickly washed up, had breakfast, went to the bathroom, and was sent to the examination hall by her father. She walked into the same classroom, sat in the same seat, and took a different test paper. Wang Zijiao had already calmed down and focused on doing the exam.
After finishing the exam, Wang Zijiao looked at Li Hui with a heart full of grievances, and suddenly felt like she wanted him to comfort her.
"What's wrong?" Li Huan saw her pouting and rubbing Wang Zhiqiao's head to ask her.
"My mood is bad." Wang Zhiqiao's eyes quickly turned red.
"Why? Didn't you do well on the exam?" Li Hui couldn't think of anything that would make her unhappy, so she guessed something relatively easy to guess and close to reality.
Wang Zijiao shook her head, with tears welling up in her eyes, but she didn't dare to let them flow out. She still remembered that Li Huan had said he disliked girls who loved to cry, and the sight of it would annoy him.
"What's wrong?" Li Huan stared into her eyes and asked.
"My mom said I was coming yesterday." Wang Zijiao roughly said.
"What were you saying?" Li Huan asked her patiently.
"It's nothing. Finally finished the exam, don't think about unhappy things." Wang Zijiao forced herself to cheer up and smiled. Li Hao saw that she didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask further. Having been together for so long, he somewhat understood Wang Zijiao's personality.
Li Hui took a deep breath of air and turned to Wang Zhiqiao, saying: "Indeed, I'm finally free, the air feels fresher."
"Hehe." Wang Zhiqiao smiled and said, "With the air quality here, what you're inhaling in big gulps is all polluted air."
Li Hui couldn't help but laugh after hearing her explanation, and indeed the environment here is really bad!
"Alright, let's go! We have to return to school tomorrow for the estimated grades, so let's have some fun while we can. Let's continue what we didn't finish that day!" Li Huan said with a smile to Wang Zijiao.
"No way, I have to go back after finishing the exam today. My dad is waiting for me outside, so..." Wang Zijiao said apologetically to Li Hui.
"You really know how to ruin the atmosphere! Alright, I know you're a good kid, you're the best. " Li Huan jokingly tapped Wang Zijiao's head, "Then we can only meet at school tomorrow."
"Alright, see you tomorrow!" Wang Zijiao smiled at Li Huan, and Li Huan looked at her smile, knowing she wouldn't be depressed anymore, so he felt relieved.
After saying goodbye to Li Hui, Wang Zhiqiao followed her father back to her aunt's house, then packed up and returned home with her mother.
As soon as she returned home, Wang Zijiao's mother began to ask her how the exam went. Wang Zijiao shook her head, and she didn't know what score she would get either. In fact, she still had a glimmer of hope.
"What does shaking head mean, is it bad or don't know." Wang Zhiqiao's mother started to get a little angry, really not good.
"Tomorrow is the day of estimated scores, I wonder how many points you will get." After finishing the exam, her mother's words were no longer polite, and she directly spoke out her true thoughts. Now, no matter what she said, it couldn't change the reality. The score was already unchangeable.
Wang Zijiao knew she was in the wrong, so she sat on the bed and didn't say a word. Seeing that her mother still had the enthusiasm to continue talking, Wang Zijiao quickly retreated first and ran to their neighbor's house, who was also taking the exam this year.
"Ah! I'm going to collapse, my mom keeps saying that before the grades are even out, and once they're out, I'll have no way to live." Wang Zhiqiao collapsed onto her bed at home, wailing.
"You're stupid, if it were me, I wouldn't have given her the chance to speak." Wang Wenli looked at Wang Zhiqiao with disdain.
"I feel like I don't have much life left anyway. Ugh, tomorrow is the exam and I really don't want to go to school." Wang Zhiqiao wished he could drag out time a bit longer, making tomorrow come later.
"I still hope to hurry up and let myself die early. The more days, the more torture." Wang Wenli vetoed her idea. "You hid on New Year's Day, can you hide on the 15th?"
Wang Zijiao thought for a moment and said, "As the old saying goes, 'A long pain is better than a short one.'"
The next day, when it was time to estimate the scores, Wang Zhiqiao's mother woke her up very early and told her to hurry to school. Wang Zhiqiao reluctantly made her way to school, and when she arrived at the classroom, she saw many parents waiting outside. What's going on? Wang Zhiqiao pushed open the door and entered the classroom, seeing that many people had already started estimating their scores. She immediately sat back down in her own seat.
Wang Zijiao took a glance behind her and saw that Li Miao hadn't arrived yet, so she turned around, opened up her test paper and answer sheet, and began to estimate her score.
Before Wang Zijiao had a chance to look at the subject, her head teacher came in. Wang Zijiao and many of her classmates looked up at her together, not knowing what instructions she had.
"Today, everyone is very enthusiastic, but please don't rush to estimate your scores first. Wait until I finish speaking, and then you can estimate again - it's not too late. Otherwise, the scores you estimate will be far from the actual value.
So, every sentence I say next is crucial. First, you must firmly believe that the person grading your papers doesn't know you at all. They won't give you high scores just because you're from their school.
Your initial feeling about your score is actually close to your real score. The more you think about it, the better you feel, and you might think the grader should give you some emotional points. But this perspective is wrong - they're not your parents, why would they take a risk to give you extra points? They're not sick."
The class teacher said here, and there was a burst of laughter below.
