Rebirth 2010, the best

Chapter 28 The school beauty is not behaving like a human being anymore!

What does the last class meeting in high school mean to students?

Different people may have different ideas.

For example, some people have studied hard for three years and now just want to take a break and embrace their future.

Some people also began to calculate their own scores and worried about the direction of their life choices.

Others were filled with reluctance and the pain of parting, because they were about to part with their partners who had supported them for three years...

For Lu Yao, during these three years of high school that seemed like a lifetime ago, what most touched him, apart from the scent of the school belle around him, was Teacher Li’s words:
"The teacher wishes all the students to get what they want. I hope that the three years of high school will enable you to understand the world and reason, and carve out your own future on the new path of life."

Back then, he had no intention of listening.

Don't care.

But now, when I hear these words, I feel filled with emotion for some reason.

"Okay, everyone keep your admission ticket, check your scores on the 23rd, and come to school to fill in your application form... The rest of the time is up to you."

As the class teacher, after giving the final summary speech, it also marked the end of the school year for Class 3-5 of Nanyang Model High School.

"Lu Yao, come to my office. If other students have any questions about their application, they can come to me later."

Hearing this, Lu Yao nodded, stood up and followed.

As he walked out of the classroom, he also heard voices from other classes in the corridor.

But the sounds of reading are gone, and all that is left is the noise of students leaving.

"You did very well on the test. The teacher is proud of you."

"It's all taught well by teachers."

"...?"

Li Linjiang paused.

He turned his head and glanced at the student who had always given him peace of mind in the past three years.

Inexplicably, I sensed a sense of...mercenary in him.

It seems like the other person has grown up a lot.

But he didn't care, just smiled and nodded:
"Let's go to the office."

"it is good."

The two of them came to the teacher's office and found that there were already more than a dozen teachers there, all of whom were teachers of various classes.

At this moment, everyone has a piece of paper.

They are all photocopies of Lu Yao’s answers on draft papers.

When seeing Li Linjiang and Lu Yao walk in, the head teacher Liu Bin, who was sitting in the office chair, immediately smiled.

"Teacher Li, you have such good students."

Li Linjiang also had a smile on his face.

But at this moment Liu Bin's attention was on Lu Yao.

"Student Lu Yao, come here."

"Hello, director."

After Lu Yao greeted him politely, Liu Bin nodded and looked at him together with Lu Yao's Chinese and English teachers. The English teacher asked:

"Lu Yao, do you remember how you wrote your English composition?"

In order to save trouble, he did not copy down the English composition, but he remembered the content.

So he nodded:
"Should I write it again?"

"Okay. Now you write."

"Ah."

Lu Yao took the paper and pen and began to write.

It took him about five or six minutes to copy his English composition and hand it to his English teacher.

Next, it was the Chinese teacher.

But this time Lu Yao didn't need to write it. He just repeatedly confirmed the scoring points for the college entrance examination essay.

Show everything that should be reflected in the composition title and make sure Lu Yao has written it all.

Seeing Lu Yao nod, everyone felt relieved.

It’s okay, as long as you have written all of them, you will get at least 40 points.

The English teacher's estimate has also come out.

Although it is quite subjective, according to his standards, Lu Yao's composition this time has a full score of 25 points. Using his more demanding eyes, he could give it 16 points.

And as long as there is no problem with the grammar, the score... will only be high, not low.

"Then let's calculate it as 16 points, full marks for math, full marks for comprehensive science, and English... 137 points. What about Chinese? Teacher Qin, have you finished grading Lu Yao's answers?"

"Director, I have finished grading."

The Chinese teacher held Lu Yao's answer in his hand and nodded:

"Multiple choice, fill-in-the-blank, reading comprehension... all these add up to a score of 75. Luyao, it's such a shame that you lost points on these reading comprehension questions. I've explained the key points of knowledge so many times..."

The Chinese teacher was a little bit reproachful.

But Liu Bin waved his hand and continued:
"Then Chinese... let's say 115."

The Chinese teacher shook his head again:
"Not only that, Lu Yao's writing skills have always been good, with scores around 50 in the three mock tests. The topic of this essay was also very accurate and did not go off topic, at least 50 points."

"…Then let's just calculate it as 45 points."

Although he said it well, Liu Bin used the most reliable method and then added up the scores in his mind:
"707 points."

He named a number.

The most conservative estimate is that Lu Yao's college entrance examination score was 707 points.

After this number was announced, everyone felt happy.

This result... is 6 points higher than last year's first place in the city!
Moreover, it is only 9 points lower than last year’s top scorer in the college entrance examination!
But these 9 points were obtained when they lowered the score in their estimation.

That is to say...

At this moment, all the teachers focused their attention on Lu Yao.

And the smile on Liu Bin's face became brighter and brighter.

Then he stood up and asked the other teachers:

"Are there any other classes with full marks in math or comprehensive science?"

The math teacher of Class 1 of Senior 3 looked regretful:

"Chen Simeng from our class is only 2 points short..."

Liu Bin did not respond, but said:

"Okay, Lu Yao, let's go to my office."

"Okay, Director."

As he agreed, noise broke out in the corridor outside.

Some classes have been disbanded.

……

In the Dean's Office.

"Lu Yao. Do you know our school's college entrance examination bonus system?"

"It seems to be... fifty thousand, right?"

Lu Yao thought about it and replied.

"For students above the first-tier line, the bonus ranges from 5,000 to 30,000 yuan. For Qinghua and Jingda, it is 40,000 yuan. The first place in the whole school is 50,000 yuan, and this is only for students within the school. If a student can get the first place in the whole city, the bonus is 70,000 yuan!"

As Liu Bin spoke, he was observing the reaction of the student in front of him.

But... the reactions were different from what he expected.

The student in front of me was very calm.

No fluctuations.

Lu Yao did not fluctuate.

Because, when he heard about these rewards, his mind unconsciously wandered and he thought of Hu Li.

The bonus he earned from studying hard for three years in high school was not as much as the clothes the other party bought him yesterday.

Thinking of this, after converting the money into the time cost, Lu Yao actually felt... inexplicably sad.

And just at this moment, he heard Liu Bin's words:
"And the national top scorer... To be honest, our school has never produced a national top scorer in the college entrance examination. The school still has to hold a meeting to decide on the bonus. But don't worry, you have brought honor to the school, and the school will definitely not be short of rewards!"

"...Thank you, Director."

"Yes, and once the results are released, we will not only work with the school, but also with the district, the Education Bureau, and even the city to get a bonus for you. Maybe you don't know this, but last year, the first place in the city received a bonus of 200,000 yuan from the city!"

"……so much?"

This time, Lu Yao was really surprised.

Although 20 is nothing for Shanghai, an international city, it is a big deal for students.

Liu Bin nodded again and said with a smile:
"As long as the results come out, don't worry about the rest. The school will fight for you. And it will only be more, not less. Our school has an advantage over other schools, that is, it has been in operation for a long time and has a strong influence. When the time comes, some companies will also give their own bonuses, so you don't have to worry about the tuition for four years of college."

Ding-ling-ling. Just as Liu Bin finished speaking, his phone suddenly rang.

"Hello? ...Oh, yes, Principal."

"Yes……"

"Well...he is in my office right now. I am talking to him about our school's reward system."

"Haha...Okay, I'll be there in a minute."

It’s the principal calling.

After Liu Bin hung up the phone, he told Lu Yao about the application criteria and general process for the bonus.

All in all, it’s just one sentence.

Take money to do things.

Take the money, accept the interview, and promote the school more...

After chatting for about ten minutes and saying everything they needed to say, Liu Bin patted Lu Yao's shoulder affectionately and left a final sentence:

"When you are successful in your career, don't forget to come back to school."

End.

……

"Why don't you go in?"

When Lu Yao arrived at the door of the classroom office, he saw the school beauty leaning on the window sill in the corridor in a daze.

Wei Qianqian came back to her senses and turned around to see him, then smiled:
"There's someone inside. Is our number one back? What did he say to you?"

"Reward money."

"Oh yes, the school also has bonuses, how much is it?"

"Together... can it be 200,000 or 300,000?"

"Yeah, so many?"

Wei Qianqian was a little surprised, and then she was envious:

"You make three hundred thousand a month, hello, big boss!"

"Ha~"

Lu Yao chuckled and shook his head:

"What's your total score?"

"Not counting the composition and English essay, 613... a full points lower than you."

There was a hint of dissatisfaction on the school beauty's face.

But it immediately turned into a happy smile:

"If I calculate based on 40 points for the essay and 15 points for the English essay, my score is more than points higher than the biological science I want to apply for!"

Looking at this sweet and pure smile, Lu Yao thought for a moment and asked tentatively:

"So... are you really planning to apply to Huazhong University of Science and Technology?"

"No!"

Lu Yao felt happy and thought it was good that he didn't ruin the young piano artist.

But who knows...

"If I had scored more than 30 points higher, why would I have gone to Huazhong University of Science and Technology? If I had performed better, I would have applied to Peking University. If my score was not high enough, I would have taken revenge on Huazhong University of Science and Technology!"

"..."

Lu Yao's mouth twitched.

A classic image popped up in my mind again:
"JOJO, I don't want to be a human anymore!!"

I couldn't help but ask:
"you sure?"

"very sure."

"...You really don't want to learn piano anymore?"

"Well……"

Wei Qianqian turned her head with some doubt and stared at him seriously:
"Do you particularly like watching me play the piano?"

Just when Lu Yao didn't know how to answer, she tilted her head.

Black silk falls from the shoulders like a long waterfall:

"That shouldn't be the case. Didn't we just collaborate on a New Year's Day performance for the first year of high school? Did it leave such a deep impression on you?"

"..."

Lu Yao was speechless, and long-lost memories emerged in his eyes.

At the New Year’s Day performance in her first year of high school, she was wearing a black fishtail skirt and facing everyone. The piano melody was like a tide, drowning everyone.

And the one playing the music is the bright moon above the sea.

The end of the world is at this time.

Seeing that Lu Yao didn't answer, she smiled sweetly again:
"Actually, I want to thank you because...it was indeed your words that woke me up."

I'm sorry, I'm so damn sorry.

In Lu Yao's silence, she continued:
"I can play the piano, that's good. I'm good at it, that's true. But... Lu Yao, have you discovered something?"

"what?"

"The world famous songs are still the same ones."

"?"

Seeing Lu Yao's puzzled look, she began to count with her fingers:

"Chopin, Liszt, Strauss, Beethoven, Bach... I play the same music that these people played hundreds of years ago. No matter how well I play, I am not them. No matter how good I am, I am just picking up their legacy. Although these are immortal golden chapters, but... do you think they are really interesting?"

"..."

"I admit that these pieces are beautiful, and that's the essence of music. But there are so many people playing them, and they keep playing the same pieces. Do you think the masters won't get bored?"

"You're only talking about classical music, right? There are also many modern piano pieces..."

"I know, but I just feel bored."

Before Lu Yao could finish, the school beauty interrupted him:
"If it weren't for you, maybe... I would have considered the music school..."

"I'm sorry, damn!"

"Hey, stop it."

Ignoring Lu Yao's apology, the school beauty continued:
"But after you said that to me that day..."

"I really didn't mean it..."

Lu Yao tried to argue, but the school beauty shook her head:
"It was precisely because of my unintentional words that I was able to wake up the dreamer. That day, I thought about it for a long time after returning home. When I thought about my future life, it might be like my freshman year in high school, playing songs for others that I had played countless times and they had listened to countless times, I felt like retching."

"..."

"That's not the life I want! Absolutely not!"

"..."

"My life may not be brilliant, but at least I don't want it to be monotonous! I am good at playing the piano, but my talent is not as high as Lang Lang. I have never felt that the piano is my life! I have never liked it for a moment."

As she spoke, she lowered her head.

Look at your hands.

She raised her hand with her five fingers spread out, as if pressing on the keys of a piano.

"I don't want my own music scores to be like those of other pianists, which are always just those old masterpieces! It should have a beginning, a middle, and an end, and it should have happiness and sadness... It should have many, many different things!"

No playing.

She slowly clenched her fist:

"Yeah! That's it!"

"..."

Lu Yao was silent and speechless.

Looking at the pure and almost enchanting girl in front of me.

He knew that perhaps her family could still be saved, but at this moment...

Right in front of yourself.

This girl has decided to play...

A chapter of your own life.

Persistent.

No regrets.
