Chapter 82 Xiao Chen, who wants to apply to the Beijing Dance Academy
On the afternoon of the 100-day countdown rally, a young boy and girl stood side by side on the riverside promenade along the Yuxi River.

The girl was holding a small notebook in her hands, looking at it carefully. The cover of the notebook said "Collection of Math Mistakes".

The boy leaned casually against the railing, squinting as he enjoyed the warm spring evening sun.

These two were Jiang Xun and Yang Kaiyi, who had gone out for lunch together after school that afternoon.

Yang Kaiyi usually ate with her aunt at the No. 1 Middle School teachers' cafeteria in the afternoon, since her mother was often not home and there was no one to cook for her when she went back.

But for some reason, during her last class today, she wrote a note and passed it to Jiang Xun, inviting him to have dinner together at a riverside restaurant.

She was wearing her school uniform jacket in the morning, but in the afternoon she somehow got a white hooded jacket and changed into it.

It was getting a bit hot under the sun, so she slid her coat down to her elbows, revealing a thin white T-shirt and her slender shoulders underneath.

Her long hair was casually draped over her shoulders, shimmering faintly in the slanting rays of the setting sun, making her appear to be glowing.

Jiang Xun noticed that after she finished eating, she had been looking at a collection of her wrong answers for half an hour.

As evening self-study time was approaching, he couldn't resist moving closer to her and nuzzling her fair face with the tip of his nose.

"Hey, stop fooling around~, ​​I'm looking at the questions." Yang Kaiyi glared at him playfully, then turned away with her pretty face slightly flushed.

Jiang Xun smiled helplessly, "You invited me out for dinner just so I could sit next to you and keep you company while you study?"

"Otherwise, what else do you want to do?" Yang Kaiyi asked back, blushing.

"Sigh, there's no love left." Jiang Xun shook her head, feigning disappointment, and sighed like a neglected wife.

Yang Kaiyi smiled, leaned in and kissed him on the cheek, then said softly and shyly:

"Okay~, is this alright now?"

"That's it?" Jiang Xun pouted. "I didn't feel anything."

"Then what else do you want?" Yang Kaiyi 'angered' and reached out to pinch the soft flesh on his waist.

After the two of them had been joking and playing around for a while, Yang Kaiyi spoke quietly:
Do you know why Chen Shixuan has been working so hard lately?

"Why?" Jiang Xun asked instinctively.

"They said she's preparing for the entrance exams for the Beijing Dance Academy or Minzu University," Yang Kaiyi said in a low voice.

Jiang Xun paused for a moment, then remained silent. Chen Shixuan had never told him about this before.

Logically speaking, with her excellent professional scores, she could easily apply to art programs at many universities across the country, so there was no need for her to apply to places like the Beijing Dance Academy.

But Jiang Xun knew without even thinking why she did it.

Because everyone knows that Jiang Xun is definitely going to get into Tsinghua or Peking University. As long as he doesn't have any weird ideas, he will definitely go to school in Beijing.

Chen Shixuan wants to apply to the Beijing Dance Academy or Minzu University, probably because she wants to go to Beijing.

At this moment, Yang Kaiyi, who was in his arms, whispered, "I also want to go to Beijing, even if it's just to Beijing Normal University."

“Nothing at Beijing Normal University can compare to Tsinghua or Peking University. At the very least, you should try to get into Zhejiang University,” Jiang Xun sighed.

With her current score, Yang Kaiyi has a good chance of getting into Zhejiang University, but because she is somewhat unbalanced in her subjects, it will be difficult for her to get into Tsinghua or Peking University.

She can consistently score above 140 in Chinese and English, but her math score always hovers around 110, and her combined science score is at most 230 or 240.

With less than 100 days left until the college entrance examination, it will be very difficult to improve your math and science scores by 2 or 30 points.

Upon hearing Jiang Xun's words, Yang Kaiyi remained silent.

She knew, of course, that Zhejiang University was better than Beijing Normal University, but if she went to Zhejiang University and he went to Beijing, the two places would be thousands of miles apart, and who knew what might happen in the future?

Young love is always filled with uncertainty and anxiety, but that's how youth is; if no one persists, it usually fizzles out. Yang Kaiyi wasn't sure if her feelings for Jiang Xun were love, but she was definitely fond of him. However, she didn't know if this fondness could withstand the test of time.

Just like her parents, they went from being incredibly loving at the beginning to being busy with work and rarely coming home, and now they are almost living apart with no communication.

Who can say that their love wasn't strong? But in the end, it still succumbed to time and life.

Seeing that Yang Kaiyi was feeling down, Jiang Xun didn't know what to say to comfort her, so he simply pressed his strong chest against hers, letting her feel his warmth and strength.

……

During evening self-study, Chen Shixuan's seat was empty, and she didn't reply to the QQ messages Jiang Xun sent, which made Jiang Xun feel a little uneasy.

After the second class, he packed his bag and left school early as usual.

Before leaving, he personally placed a note on Yang Kaiyi's desk, which drew a burst of envy and good-natured teasing from the classmates.

Yang Kaiyi blushed and clutched the note in her hand. She only opened it and glanced at it after Jiang Xun left and everyone was no longer paying attention.

The only sentence above is: "What is loved is separated by mountains and seas, but mountains and seas can be leveled."

Those ten short words seemed to instantly dispel all her worries from the previous night, and a sweet smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

She flattened the note and tucked it into her book, then quietly picked up a pen and wrote a line of delicate handwriting on the back—

You should be a rock, and I should be a reed.

……

After leaving school, Jiang Xun did not go home immediately, but took a taxi to Chen Shixuan's building.

He had driven Chen Shixuan home once before, so he knew her floor and apartment number. He simply went upstairs and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was a very kind auntie, who should be the nanny hired by Chen Shixuan's family.

He asked the aunt, Chen Shixuan, if she was home, but the answer he got was that she was still at school and hadn't come back yet.

Jiang Xun suppressed his anxiety and called Chen Shixuan again, but still no one answered.

Just as he was quickly trying to figure out where she might have gone, his QQ phone started beeping with a series of message notifications.

He quickly opened it and breathed a slight sigh of relief; it was indeed a message from Chen Shixuan.

Before I could even take a closer look, the phone rang at the same time; it was Chen Shixuan calling.

"Brother, I'm sorry, I was busy and didn't check my phone." Chen Shixuan's slightly breathless voice came through the phone as soon as it connected.

Jiang Xun paused for a moment, then casually asked, "What are you busy with so late at night?"

Noticing that his tone was somewhat cold, Chen Shixuan's voice became cautious and aggrieved.

"Are you angry? I didn't mean to ignore your messages or answer your calls. I was practicing dance in the studio."

"Um, dance practice?" Jiang Xun's tone softened, a hint of apology in her voice. "Are you done practicing?"

"Okay, I'll be done practicing soon." Hearing his tone soften, Chen Shixuan's voice also brightened, and she said sweetly:
"Brother, our dance studio is on the second floor of No. 67 Qianbei Avenue. Can you come pick me up?"

“Okay.” Jiang Xun naturally had no reason to refuse.

When he arrived at the dance studio with two cups of milk tea, he saw two other girls and a female teacher inside.

Chen Shixuan is also still diligently practicing the splits.
